Analysis

Bitcoin closed August up 25.1% from $62,794 to $78,545, the first green August finish ever in a bear market and the third strongest August on record.

A massive short squeeze drove the move, with $12.65 billion in total liquidations including $5.8 billion from August 17-21 alone.

Price now sits at $77984.15 inside the Bollinger Bands with upper resistance at $79093.09; the neutral RSI at 46.08 and bearish MACD death cross at 27.66 point to a likely retracement toward EMA50 support at $77574.58 before further upside, sharpening BTC price prediction models and crypto market analysis around Bitcoin seasonal trends.
