ChainCatcher report: Bitfinex Alpha indicates that Bitcoin has been trading sideways between $77,100 and $81,300 over the past 20 trading days, with the current price near the key support level at the lower end of the range. A breakout above $81,300 could propel prices rapidly to $86,500 due to the volume vacuum above. Ahead of the Fed’s interest rate decision, options market protection has shifted to contracts expiring on September 18. The report also notes that while Bitcoin volatility has declined, altcoins have shown strong activity, with all 29 major altcoins rising last week—Polkadot up 43% and Zcash up 42%. For the first time this week, open interest in altcoin perpetual contracts has surpassed that of Bitcoin, a historical pattern often preceding market corrections.
