Bitcoin: Tracking Historic Q3 Gains

Bitcoin is on track for a historic Q3 as BTC posts a 35% gain, its strongest quarterly performance of 2026 so far.

After a brutal first half, this momentum positions Bitcoin quarterly gains among the best on record if September holds. BTC price prediction models now factor in sustained crypto market momentum from institutional flows.

Price action at $77988.06 sits inside Bollinger Bands with upper resistance at $80380.06 while the neutral RSI at 53.36 and MACD death cross signal caution; a healthy retracement toward EMA50 support at $75163.63 looks probable before any push higher, keeping the bullish EMA200 at $68528.29 as the longer-term floor.
