Federal Reserve officials 'remarks triggered market fluctuations, and Bitcoin rebounded to recover the US$81,000 mark.
On September 3, 2026, Bitcoin rose sharply by nearly 5%, regaining its footing at US$81,000, driving the entire cryptocurrency market to rebound significantly. During the trading session, the total market value of cryptocurrencies climbed US$112 billion to US$2.7 trillion.
Speaking at an event hosted by Reuters, Fed Governor Christopher Waller said he would consider keeping interest rates unchanged at the Fed's September meeting if U.S. inflation continued to fall. This statement reassured investors who had previously worried about the possibility of raising interest rates again.
Waller's public comments caused U.S. Treasury yields to fall immediately and the U.S. dollar weakened against other major currencies. Lower yields reduce the relative appeal of risk-free, interest-bearing investments, prompting some investors to turn to risky assets such as Bitcoin in search of higher returns.
The depreciation of the U.S. dollar allows international buyers to purchase Bitcoin at a lower cost, further boosting global demand. Analysts pointed out that this positive sentiment also spilled over to traditional stock markets, with U.S. stocks and companies related to digital assets rising on the day.
Waller hinted that if inflation shows signs of further cooling, he may support keeping interest rates unchanged in September, easing investors 'fears of an imminent interest rate hike.
Bitcoin leads market-wide recovery
In intra-day trading, bitcoin prices rose 4.91% from $77,307 near the opening to hit approximately $81,100. The cryptocurrency briefly touched US$81,392 before encountering slight selling pressure.
Market data shows that the total value of all cryptocurrencies increased by 4.35% during the period to US$2.7 trillion, with approximately US$112.4 billion in new funds flowing into the market. Excluding stablecoins, the overall market value rose 5.05% to US$2.42 trillion.
Changes in key data
Bitcoin is approaching the key resistance area of US$82,000 to US$82,500, which limited room for price gains in previous trading days. Market analysts are closely watching this area as a potential trigger for further gains after a breakthrough.
Charts from leading analysis platforms reflect an increase in buying activity in this sector, and upward momentum continues to accumulate throughout the day. However, after such a sharp one-day gain, traders pointed out that there could be a period of consolidation or profit-taking before the market attempts to decisively move upwards again.
Although long momentum has dominated the Bitcoin and broader cryptocurrency market, a pause may occur in the short term given the rapid recent gains.
Broad impact on risky assets
Price increases are not limited to digital assets, with stocks related to the cryptocurrency industry and the broader U.S. stock index all recording gains. This pattern shows that investors 'appetite for risky assets remains strong after the Fed's dovish signal.
As of 21:30 EDT, Bitcoin continued to maintain trading above US$81,000, and the overall market retained most of the added value. Observers point out that the interaction between central bank monetary policy expectations, bond yields and digital asset prices remains key drivers of short-term transactions and long-term capital flows.
