Sellers reject Bitcoin at US$81,000 and Asia has not even opened: what the next session will reveal

The recent price decline in Bitcoin has been driven by macroeconomic factors and heightened sensitivity to interest rate expectations. The total valuation of decentralized networks fell by 1.18 per cent over the last 24 hours, demonstrating that external monetary policy expectations directly impact risk asset pricing. Bitcoin specifically underperformed the broader digital ecosystem, with a 0.55 per cent decline to US$77,740.01.

This price movement coincided with a sudden reversal in institutional buying patterns, with United States spot Bitcoin ETFs recording a US$201.9M net outflow on August 28. The combination of a less favourable macroeconomic backdrop and a pause in institutional buying pressure is the primary catalyst for the recent price decline.

A decisive daily close below the US$77,500 level could trigger further algorithmic selling towards the US$73,000 to US$74,650 Fibonacci demand cluster. The derivatives arena experienced a massive leverage flush, with total liquidations reaching US$42.38M over the last 24 hours, accounting for 283 per cent of the previous trading session's volume.

The immediate path forward hinges on technical price bases and the upcoming Federal Open Market Committee meeting on September 15 to 16.
