What could be the possible news that triggered BTC 82k

[Bitcoin_Arena]

Must every rise and fall in the Bitcoin price be tied to news? 
I believe it's just normal market movement. A few months back there was a drop from the 80s to the 60s, and after a lengthy accumulation period, it's now back up to the 80s. Classic normal market movements... a war between the sellers and buyers

Well IMO what is going geopolitically in the world ATM and the effects of that on the global economy
particularly the US$ has to be playing a role of what is happening to the Bitcoin market and other
markets.

Look at the news about the Netherlands moving its Gold from the US to the UK, there is definitely an air
of fear for what might be coming down the tracks in terms of global finance.

Also bear in mind the market is "up and down" lately, its back down to $79k

[DPHOR]

One thing you should know that is about how the influx of the demand becoming that higher and you know that can easily effect the market so quickly when the supply is becoming that lower than the supply.
Many people nowadays especially the institutional investors has actually accumulated enough, including the private investors and all these are enough reasons to trigger the market so quickly. However, one thing you must know is that the market is not always stationary or stable were it would remain in a particular position for a long time, in fact as the up and down of the market is what usually makes the currencies tradable and through this price increases.

Sure, not all the upward and downward moves of Bitcoin have to be due to news. There is also a movement and cycle in the market itself.

But you can't really deny that news can have big impact, especially macro stuff like interest rate and geopolitic, since they directly affect market sentiment and money flows.

But yeah, it's hard to pin down exactly what caused a move because there are just too many factors. So sometimes it's fine to just see it as normal market movement.

[obuoma]

The rally we are seeing started when many were expecting further decline and that signifies that it must have been caused by some strong positive fundamentals. Coincidentally,  the action of the US government in relation to their treasury hapoens to be the most possible event that can trigger such moves. Even though there may ne other factors that contributed to the big moves, it will be hard to disconnect it to the loss of confidence in the US dollar that made other alternative assets like Bitcoin to become the benefactor.

The recent market rise is not due to one reason, but rather the result of a combination of several factors, including huge institutional flows through ETFs, optimism about regulatory and legislative clarity in the United States, and the Federal Reserve's policy.

But the immediate cause of the rise was the liquidation of short positions (Short Squeeze), as the sudden rise in price caused a forced closure and a large liquidation of the positions of speculators who bet on the price falling, forcing them to buy quickly to cover their positions and push the currency to new record levels.

I'm not surprised to see a question like this because some persons accumulate bitcoin when it start increasing in prices and they always want to know the reason why it's increasing. To me, there's no news that trigger the current surge in the bitcoin price which started in the month of August until this month all other high demand. When there's a high demand in any goods the price of that goods usually goes up, so bitcoin isn't exempted.

according to coinglass, more than $4b worth of short positions were liquidated in just two day, august 20 and 21 as bitcoin pushed close to $80k. glassnode data shows that this was the biggest short liquidation event in history.

however, i think the more direct reason behind the move was the us treasury doubling its long term bond buyback program to ease pressure on the market. the news pushed long term bond yields lower and weakened the dxy as well.
that helped improve sentiment across the broader financial market, not just bitcoin. if you were watching the market, you could see gold and stocks were also going up around the same time.

There may be several reasons for the increase in the price of Bitcoin in the past few days, among which is the expectation that the Fed will probably not increase the interest rate, which is reflected in the rapid increase in the price of Bitcoin, which rises above $80k. Later, when the Jobs report comes, the possibility of a Fed hike increases again, resulting in a slight downward trend in the price. Also, another important thing in the market is that there was a large inflow in the ETF market in the past few days ago, which can also have a positive impact on the price of Bitcoin. Whenever Bitcoin touched $82k, it could not overcome that resistance due to increasing selling pressure. The Fed will have another meeting in the middle of this month, and after that meeting, we may know where the market situation will move.

Whenever Bitcoin touched $82k, it could not overcome that resistance due to increasing selling pressure.

This situation is normal to encounter after Bitcoin prices fall very deeply. Even though there is strong buying pressure that triggers a surge, it does not make people calmly hold. Some people will definitely panic sell at certain price ranges, causing the price to correct again. We are not yet in a bullish market, we will still wait for the next price surge that could possibly approach $90k. Hopefully, the correction that occurs does not go any lower.

When there's a high demand in any goods the price of that goods usually goes up, so bitcoin isn't exempted.

To some extent I do agree with you that high demand is a key factor, but for me I also believe that news and market expectations are also play an important role in this.  Sometimes it is not just a single headline that can make Bitcoin go up, I believe that several small factors can actually happen the same time and that can really increase buying pressure.

And secondly we often come across the news after the price of Bitcoin has already moved, so that can make it very difficult to determine what actually triggered the price movement.  So i think that the OP's question makes sense, since he has taken a few days off. Rather than just trying to find one specific announcement, instead examine the bigger picture of what was going on in the market.

[Hazink]

It's supply and demand not news that moves the price up and down.

News without any action can't cause any change in the market. News is being overhyped, just like news of a big company selling off some of their holdings will appear on their balance sheet and send fear across to the people whose panic sellers action will affect the market and not the news itself is a same way good news about good policy and potential cash inflow can also trigger same thing, the news is like what trigger the people to take an action that will determine if bitcoin will react positively or negatively which with or without the news such could have still happened naturally but in slow movement.

The FED announcement on September 16 could be another factor to trigger bitcoin's price. But that depends on what rate it will be.

But in most cases, every time they announce it. The price of bitcoin is triggered positively and it goes upwards.

No idea yet about its impact until we see it. It's only a week away and just hold your horses when it comes and it's done.

Yes, that could be one news that will have a big impact on us. Even a slight quarter points of reducing the interest, it might send a trigger warning for everyone to buy as the US economy is recovering and doing good.

But if it is a increase or there is a rate hike, then the opposite will happen. Currently, we are below $79k already, so there is a resistance around $80k. But if everything goes well on Sept 16, I'm expecting the price will go up around $82k'ish or higher.

[Barikui1]

I don't want to make any kind of speculation on the reason why Bitcoin rose this high in this short period of time, but i wasn't that surprised when I looked at the Bitcoin price chart on the monthly timeframe, because at the end of August, the bullish momentum has already build up waiting to spring up, so it was during September the pump was in full display, that's why we now have a bullish engulfing candle stick in the month of September, if you are looking at the  chart on a monthly timeframe.

So since the buying sentiment is still very high due to the bullish closure of September, let's not be surprised if Bitcoin rises to $94k before the end of this month or before the end of October, but the strong resistance at that level will determine if the bullish momentum is going to continue or not.

[Nathrixxx]

To frank as I am surprised to see that in the month of September bitcoin actually broke out the price of 80k, have been moving around 60k to 70k for a very long duration. But to be surprise, I am now seeing that Bitcoin has already broken out from 80k to around 82k.

The market demand and supply could be a triggered to discover the market rising of falling at any time this month of September, there are other consideration with emphasize on that determines how the market rises or fall in addition, if we consider both the fundamental and technical analysis or together with the incidence of breaking news, lastly we can discover also that the season really matters to know the extent at which the market could rise or fall.

The 80k level has not progressed this month. It happened in August. However, last month there are some speculative calls from the fed and some roles of ETF for this miraculous event. I think, the main reason is due to the pressure from buyers. However, it is normal for the market to have significant changes. Because the market has been on a downward trend for a long time. The unexpected event is that the month of September is not very fruitful. I do not know how effective it will be for us now.

Since there is good support at 79k. So after staying in a downtrend for a few days, it will move upwards. However, based on the past, I am not expecting too much this month.

If something positive is with that announcement.

This could make the price from this price point of $78k up to $85k. I don't think that's quite high but seeing of what happened for the past month.

The possibility of that kind of move is there and this is Bitcoin, it always breaking our expectation either positively or negatively.

We don't need to wait until the 16th. August CPI will be released on 9/11, and we'll soon get a better idea of which way the market is gonna move.

The Fed's decision to hike rates or keep them unchanged will depend heavily on the August CPI. Right now, a lot of forecasts expect the August CPI to tick up a bit as oil prices have started rising again. So we should be prepared for a downside scenario instead of assuming Bitcoin is gonna keep going up on the 16th.

[PERtua]

I believe that we shouldn't try to tie everything to a Bitcoin headline. The news event can be the trigger. But the breakout has to be warranted by demand. In order to be able to take all the selling pressure. What is more interesting to me around $80K is if the market can convert that former support into resistance. But if buyers continue to support the price after the initial euphoria subsides. That would be a more important indicator than just $82K. Otherwise it's a liquidity move which may be retraced.
