The cryptocurrency has risen nearly 25% in the past week as investors return to the market. Analysts identify $80,000 as a key resistance level, noting that a sustained breakout is necessary for prices to reach $100,000. The rally is driven by favorable macroeconomic conditions, including U.S. Treasury interventions lowering bond yields, and political developments such as President Trump pushing for crypto regulation legislation." datetime: "2026-08-25T14:06:46.000Z" locales: - [zh-CN](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/296927404.md) - [en](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296927404.md) - [zh-HK](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/news/296927404.md) generator: "portal-rs" --- # Bitcoin’s Price Tops $80,000 As Rally Strengthens The price of Bitcoin (BTC) briefly rose above $80,000 U.S. as the rally in cryptocurrencies continues to strengthen. Bitcoin rose as high as $80,995 U.S. in overnight trading before pulling back to $79,150 U.S. It was the first time that Bitcoin’s price had been above $80,000 U.S. since early May of this year. The price of Bitcoin has now risen nearly 25% in the past week as investors rush back into the cryptocurrency trade that had been dormant since last autumn. Analysts say that Bitcoin is now encountering resistance at $80,000 U.S., having broken above its previous resistance level at $65,000 U.S. After hitting a record high of just over $126,000 U.S. last October, Bitcoin had endured a long “crypto winter” and been rangebound between $60,000 U.S. and $65,000 U.S. for months. But now, Bitcoin and other digital assets are breaking out as investors respond to several catalysts for cryptocurrencies. The rally was sparked by news that the U.S. Treasury Department is intervening in the bond market to lower yields, which is favourable to risk assets such as crypto. At the same time, U.S. President Donald Trump has begun pressuring Congress to approve the Clarity Act legislation that would regulate the cryptocurrency sector. Analysts seem to agree that Bitcoin needs to achieve a sustained breakout above $80,000 U.S. for the current rally to continue, and for the price of BTC to get back as high as $100,000 U.S. Bitcoin’s new trading range appears to be between $74,000 U.S. and $80,000 U.S. ### Related Stocks - [GBTC.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GBTC.US.md) - [BITB.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BITB.US.md) - [ARKB.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ARKB.US.md) - [FBTC.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/FBTC.US.md) - [IBIT.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/IBIT.US.md) - [BITO.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BITO.US.md) - [BRRR.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BRRR.US.md) - [BTCO.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BTCO.US.md) - [BTCW.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BTCW.US.md) - [HODL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/HODL.US.md) - [EZBC.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/EZBC.US.md) - [03008.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/03008.HK.md) - [03042.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/03042.HK.md) - [03430.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/03430.HK.md) - [BTCE.DE](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BTCE.DE.md) ## Related News & Research - [Hong Kong-based crypto exchange CoinEx to cease operations amid prolonged market downturn](https://longbridge.com/en/news/299010660.md) - [Osmosis Took 74 Days To Discover A 40-BTC Nomic Exploit That Left Its Bitcoin-Backed Asset 36% Unbacked](https://longbridge.com/en/news/298903281.md) - [Steak ‘n Shake’s Bitcoin bet posts double-digit sales growth](https://longbridge.com/en/news/298510530.md) - [Crypto Rally To Be Tested By Fed Rate Decision](https://longbridge.com/en/news/298932988.md) - [Bitcoin whales trim holdings as retail steps in – Can BTC reclaim $80K?](https://longbridge.com/en/news/299026021.md) --- > **Disclaimer: This article is for reference only and does not constitute any investment advice.**
