August 26: Bitcoin Keeps Bouncing Off $80K. What Will It Take to Break Through?

Bitcoin keeps bouncing off the $80,000 resistance level, and Matt explains why profit-taking is the biggest obstacle right now. Institutional investors are locking in strong gains, the short squeeze that helped drive the first leg higher is losing momentum, and roughly $6.4 billion in Bitcoin options are set to expire Friday. At the same time, ETF demand remains strong, with about $314 million in Tuesday inflows and roughly $3 billion for August, making sustained institutional buying the key to turning $80K from resistance into support. 


The episode also looks at why the Treasury market and the debasement trade matter more to Bitcoin than oil prices, Revolut beginning to roll out its euro-backed EURR stablecoin, and the Tornado Cash retrial being pushed to 2027. Matt argues that Bitcoin still has a real path toward $90K if it can close above $80K and stay there, but warns that every new price level will bring fresh sellers, profit-taking, and resistance. 


Happy HODLing.
