Bitcoin’s Resilience Amid Turmoil

■Bitcoin traded near $77,500 during Asian hours.

■Bitfinex analysts projected a potential consolidation or rise to $80,000, noting a pullback across risk assets could drag BTC lower.

Near‑Term Technical Levels

■The Clarity Act vote on September 15 could add further pressure.

Institutional Playbooks
