Bitcoin hovers near $78,600 after reclaiming key weekly moving averages, but analysts flag $82,500 as a critical test for a broader trend reversal.

What happened
Brave New Coin reported that Bitcoin traded around $78,600 on September 8, after retreating from weekly highs between roughly $77,700 and $79,500. The outlet noted that Bitcoin has spent nearly a month above its 50-week exponential moving average and has also reclaimed its 20-, 50-, and 200-week trend measures. Analyst Will Clemente, cited by Brave New Coin, argued that historically Bitcoin has not established a new cycle low after holding all three averages for several consecutive weeks, supporting the case that the mid-2026 decline toward $57,000 may have marked a durable bottom. However, the outlet cautioned that a decisive weekly close back below the 50-week EMA near $77,400 would weaken the signal. Technical analyst Dave the Wave, also cited by Brave New Coin, identified an immediate hurdle near $82,500. Only one source covered this story.
