Fed shifts toward September rate hike; key factor for bitcoin this week

Bitcoin posted its first weekly close above $80,000 since May, but analysts say it is too early to treat the level as firm support. The market is focused on U.S. August CPI and PPI data and the Federal Reserve meeting on Sept. 16, as stronger jobs data has shifted rate expectations more hawkishly. Japan’s yen moves and possible bond sales are also seen as factors. Derivatives-led positioning and thin spot demand may limit gains.
