Bitcoin experienced a significant price surge in late August 2026, rising approximately 25% in under two weeks to climb above $81,000. This movement suggested a potential new bull trend as the asset decoupled from traditional equity markets, specifically showing a declining correlation with the S&P 500.

By mid-September, market sentiment reached its highest level since March 2024. The CryptoQuant Unified Sentiment Index rose above 89, signaling a period of “extreme greed.” While the index began to cool from these levels, bullish indicators remained strong, with the Bull Score Index reaching its highest point since October 2025. Despite these bullish signals, spot momentum saw a 30% decrease over a one-week period, even as spot volume increased.
