Bitcoin's September 3 close at $81,263.99 is its first settlement above $81,000 in months, a shift in near-term momentum that buyers waiting for confirmation will not ignore.

The move extends a three-week recovery, with each weekly close higher than the last.

The reclaim came on a closing basis, not an intraday spike, so it reflects where participants were willing to hold overnight.

The $63,018.75 trough is the reference point on any pullback. Losing $81,000 in the sessions ahead is the first concrete sign the rally is stalling.
