Bitcoin briefly pushed to a three-month high near $81,326.81 before easing back below the $80,000 line on August 28.
LSEG market data cited in live coverage put Bitcoin around $79,741 after a small decline, showing that traders took profits once the round-number level was tested.
The move does not cancel the broader rebound, but it makes the next signal clear: Bitcoin needs steady demand above $80,000 rather than a single overnight spike.
