Bitcoin ETFs See $3.5B Inflows in August, Highest Since July 2025; $80K Resistance Key

U.S.-listed bitcoin ETFs recorded net inflows of about $3.5 billion in August, the largest since July 2025, according to Bloomberg data. Bitcoin gained 25% in the month, its best performance since November 2024. The rally was fueled by Treasury Secretary Bessent's bond buyback plan and Trump's meeting with crypto executives, but the $80,000 level proved a key resistance as bitcoin briefly dropped to $76,393. Analysts say sustained ETF buying could mark a turning point.

Yi Lihua: Bitcoin Stuck Below $81K Resistance, Next Hurdle Near $86K

Yi Lihua, founder of Liquid Capital, said Bitcoin has yet to break through resistance around $81,000. He expects a modest pullback in the coming days before prices push higher and clear that zone, with the next key resistance near $86,000. He plans to close his long positions as Bitcoin approaches that level because a larger correction could follow. Still, he believes the bull market has already arrived; even if prices enter a resistance area and turn bearish short-term, he would only exit longs, not build shorts.

Bitcoin Forms Fractal Similar to 2022 Bottom; $83K Key Resistance, Analyst Says

According to BlockBeats, crypto analyst Ali Charts said in a post published on Aug. 28 that Bitcoin's current price action is forming a fractal structure which is similar to the bottoming pattern that was observed in the late 2022 period. The analyst recalled that during the year 2023, after Bitcoin successfully broke above its long-term downtrend, it first tested the high that was recorded in August of the previous year, and subsequently pulled back to around the $20,000 level before it started to move higher again, eventually embarking on a further advance. By applying that historical analogy to the present market, the corresponding level that needs attention now is near the high seen in May 2026, which is approximately $83,000. If Bitcoin faces resistance in that zone and undergoes a corrective pullback, it could potentially create the next significant buying opportunity for investors. However, Ali Charts also emphasized that such a judgment is based on historical fractal patterns, and it does not necessarily mean the price path will repeat in a similar manner. In summary, the fractal-based view points to $83,000 as a pivotal level to monitor.

Analyst Says Bitcoin Faces Heavy Resistance Near $84,000, With Support at $77,000 and $63,111

Bitcoin is approaching a key resistance zone around $83,307 to $84,569, where on-chain data shows a large concentration of previously acquired coins, according to analyst alicharts cited by BlockBeats on Aug. 27. The analyst said BTC’s current structure resembles its 2022–2023 bottoming phase and noted that the asset has already broken above a descending resistance trendline while nearing a May 2026 high of about $83,000. That setup, in the analyst’s view, could trigger a pullback that creates a fresh buying opportunity, with $100,000 named as the upside target. URPD, or UTXO Realized Price Distribution, indicates that nearly 975,000 BTC were bought in the $83,307-$84,569 range, making it a notable resistance area. The report also said traders are sitting on a 25% profit margin, a factor that could increase the odds of profit-taking and a short-term correction. If Bitcoin does pull back, the next support zones highlighted were $76,996 to $78,258, associated with 843,000 BTC in trading volume, and $63,111, where 925,000 BTC were accumulated.

Trader Killa Says Bitcoin Has Bottomed, With $80,000-$83,000 as the Next Key Resistance

BlockBeats reported on Aug. 23 that trader Killa said Bitcoin has already formed a bottom and has moved back above the short-term holder cost basis. Killa referred to an earlier call made when Bitcoin was at $65,000, saying the bottom would be in once the asset reclaimed $67,400, traded in the mid-$75,000 range, and held above the short-term holder cost basis. In Killa’s latest view, Bitcoin still needs to clear the $80,000 to $83,000 zone before any move toward $90,000 can be considered. The statement frames the current market setup around a confirmed base, a recovered on-chain reference level, and a resistance band that must be broken first.

Bitcoin Faces Two-Month Resistance at Short-Term Holder Realized Price, Trader Warns

In a post on X, trader Murphy (@Murphychen888) said the realized price for bitcoin's short-term holders — defined as coins held for less than three months — is currently around $67,900. Since June 20, bitcoin's bounce near that level has been repeatedly suppressed, with the resistance now persisting for nearly two months. The slope of the cost curve has also flattened to near zero, suggesting that the turnover of related coins is steadily declining. Murphy noted that similar patterns appeared in late bear markets in 2018 and 2022, when BTC was capped below the three-month realized price for roughly three months before the BCH hash war and the FTX collapse led to sharp price swings. He believes the prolonged suppression under this cost line may reflect a structural weak balance in the market — any external force could break it.

Bitcoin Faces $67K and $72K Cost-Basis Walls, CryptoQuant Analyst Warns

Bitcoin's recovery could stall at two cost-basis resistance levels, warns CryptoQuant analyst ShayanMarkets. Using realized price UTXO age band data, he found that holders who bought between one and three months ago carry an average cost of $67,000, while those who bought three to six months ago have an average cost of $72,000. Both exceed the current spot price near $65,000, implying that most recent buyers are currently at a loss. If the rally extends, these investors may sell as price approaches their entry points, creating selling pressure at the $67,000 level first. A second wall stands at $72,000, tied to the older cohort. The analyst argues that a decisive move above both realized price levels would show the market absorbing the overhang from recent purchasers, strengthening the case for sustained upside. Until then, resistance above remains significant. The comments come amid bitcoin trading around $65,000, with short-term holders in a state of unrealized loss. The analysis highlights the importance of on-chain cost distribution in assessing market dynamics.
