Forecast Trend Report by Period



Bitcoin (BTC) is trading sideways near $78,000, with capital inflows and demand for exchange-traded funds rising even as momentum in the spot market weakens, according to an analysis.
On Sept. 8, on-chain analytics firm Glassnode wrote on X, formerly Twitter, that Bitcoin had held in a roughly $78,000 to $79,100 range over the past week with little movement.
Glassnode said capital inflows into the market, ETF demand and leverage in the futures market are all increasing. Spot buying momentum, however, has slowed, while volatility indicators remain deeply in negative territory, leaving bullish and bearish forces closely balanced.
