It tried to break out on Monday, but it was halted and driven south first to $77,200 and then to $76,400 as the week progressed.<\/p>\n<p>The bulls finally stepped up on Thursday. At first, they helped BTC halt the freefall. Then came the major leg up. In a matter of hours, bitcoin skyrocketed by several grand and surged to a new three-month high of almost $82,500.<\/p>\n<p>However, the same rejection scenario repeated and worsened after the stronger-than-expected US jobs <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-price-plunges-after-blowout-us-jobs-report-heres-why\/\">report<\/a> on Friday. BTC first dipped to $81,300 before the bears drove it south to under $78,800 after the report went live. Nevertheless, it <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-at-80k-is-stronger-than-it-looks-btc-is-surviving-a-perfect-storm-of-bearish-news\/\">rebounded<\/a> over the weekend and jumped past $80,400 on Monday morning.<\/p>\n<p>The bears reemerged once again, driving the cryptocurrency south by over $2,000 in the following days. BTC dipped to $78,200 earlier today, and now sits inches above that level. Its market cap has dipped to $1.570 trillion, while its dominance over the altcoins is down to 58.8% on CMC.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1448002\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1448002\" style=\"width: 1835px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/BTCUSD-September-8.png\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1448002\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">BTCUSD September 8.
