Bitcoin was approaching the end of August below a key resistance level as market pricing again pointed to a Federal Reserve interest-rate hike in September, according to Cointelegraph. The setup places two developments at the center of the week’s Bitcoin market discussion: the cryptocurrency’s position ahead of the monthly close and renewed expectations for a change in US monetary policy. Cointelegraph’s report, published on August 31, 2026, highlights the shift in rate expectations while describing Bitcoin as remaining below the resistance identified in its coverage. No additional price level or policy decision was provided in the source material. The September hike was presented as a market expectation rather than a confirmed Federal Reserve action.
