BTC Bitcoin fell back to around US$77,500 in Saturday trading
After remaining at around US$78,700 on Friday, Bitcoin slipped to around US$77,500 in Saturday trading. This modest weekend correction left Bitcoin prices about $1,200 lower than previous reference levels.
Key Points
- Bitcoin slipped towards $77,500 in Saturday trading.
- Bitcoin remained at around $78,700 on Friday.
- The difference between these two rounded reference levels is approximately US$1,200.
Analysis of Saturday's price trend
According to reports on September 12, Bitcoin was approximately US$77,500 during Saturday's trading period, which was easing (easing/falling back) from the previous trading day. The statement focuses on directionality; prices are just drifting towards that level, rather than confirming a break or close at that level. Relevant data shows that a snapshot of the research time as of September 13 Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) shows that the spot bitcoin price is close to US$77,217, with a 24-hour rate of change of approximately-0.07%. The reading was taken after the end of trading over the weekend and is not related to any closing price on Friday or Saturday.
A research time snapshot obtained by CoinGecko on September 13, 2026 (UTC) showed that the Bitcoin price was US$77,217, with a 24-hour rate of change of-0.071%. The API does not provide asset-level timestamps. This is not the closing price on Friday or Saturday; linked public pages will update over time. This moderate pace of weekend trading reflects the recent pattern of Bitcoin falling first in illiquid weekend trading before stabilizing.
Saturday's level versus Friday's US$78,700
There is a gap of approximately US$1,200 between the two reference levels. According to reports, Bitcoin had an observed value of $78,683 on Friday, up 2.08% in 24 hours. Compared with a Saturday reference of approximately $77,500, the two rounded levels differ by about $1,200.
This US$1,200 spread represents approximately 1.5% of the higher figure. This is an arithmetic calculation based on two rounded quotes and is not a measured daily or 24-hour trading return. Friday's data was described as "holding around $78,700," with no verified single closing price and no defined trading range. Since Bitcoin is traded continuously around the clock, the weekday label does not correspond to the close of a fixed trading session. Similar time differences have also led to inconsistencies between Coinbase data and headline quotes in some conversations in the past.
Uncertainty left by two price references
The two quoted levels alone cannot establish the cause or possible duration of the decline. Given this evidence, the US$77,500 or US$78,700 should not be interpreted as technical support or resistance.
The macro background is a recorded catalyst. Reuters reported that short-term interest rate futures pricing showed that the probability of a 25 basis point rate hike at the Federal Reserve Board meeting on September 15 - 16 was about 85%, which is higher than previous inflation reports showing that the core consumer price index (CPI) was about 70% before it rose 0.3% month-on-month and 3.4% year-on-year. The link between these probabilities and the correction remains an unproven explanation.
Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller mentioned this conditionality in a September 3 speech before the data release: "But if inflation performs strongly, I will consider raising rates."
Broader market sentiment remains in the "greedy" territory, with the Fear and Greed Index reading of 61 on September 13. This is a background indicator and does not explain Saturday's trend. Traders are now focusing on the results of the September 15 - 16 FOMC meeting on interest rates, just as sellers put pressure on Bitcoin when it falls below a certain integer level.
