Bitcoin rose nearly 25 percent in August and climbed above its 50-month moving average for the first time since last year’s crypto winter began. It traded around $77,500 on Sept. 1, down about 1.3 percent on the day. Markets are watching seasonal September weakness, interest-rate risks and resistance near $82,500. Technical indicators are mixed, and long-term trend confirmation remains limited despite improving flows and regulatory developments.

XRP has risen 46 percent over the past seven days but has slowed after hitting resistance around $1.55. It closed at $1.4554 and slipped for a second straight day after failing to hold an intraday high of $1.5505. Indicators show both strong trend momentum and signs of overheating, with the RSI at 76.8 and a dead-cross structure still in place. Key levels are $1.5507 and $1.4342.
