Bitcoin (BTC) Price Breakout to $80,000 Delayed by Macro Trends

Demand for Bitcoin (BTC) price to form a new all-time high has been keeping investors’ hopes alive.

Bitcoin Demand Dwindles

Since the beginning of August, Bitcoin’s price has struggled to rise above $60,000. This is delaying the recovery of investors’ losses from the July crash.
