Bitcoin price enters Sunday almost exactly where it began the weekend, with BTC still trading around $77,000 after Saturday produced very little meaningful price movement.
That was broadly the scenario we outlined yesterday. Weekend Bitcoin trading has frequently been quieter this year, particularly when there are few crypto-specific catalysts, and Saturday followed that pattern. Friday’s brief rally toward $79,500 had already been rejected before the weekend began, and buyers have so far failed to generate another serious attempt at $80,000.
That leaves Bitcoin around $77,000 heading into September 13, but the lack of volatility shouldn’t be mistaken for a lack of important technical levels. According to analyst Rekt Capital, the weekly close could determine whether the current consolidation develops into another recovery attempt or puts BTC at risk of revisiting lower support.
What you'll learn 👉
Bitcoin Needs to Reclaim $78,300
Rekt Capital is focusing on approximately $78,300 as the most important immediate level.
His weekly BTC/USD chart shows Bitcoin trading below the horizontal resistance at $78,298 after briefly moving above it. The next major resistance sits around $82,195, while support levels below the market appear near $72,848, $65,720 and $59,433.
The immediate problem is that Bitcoin hasn’t successfully turned $78,300 back into support.
Rekt Capital believes BTC needs to reclaim the level and successfully retest it from above before the technical picture becomes more constructive. Instead, Bitcoin is currently positioned for a weekly close underneath it.
He compares the setup with May 2026.
The chart shows that Bitcoin also traded around $78,300 during May before losing the level. BTC subsequently failed to reclaim it and eventually fell through $72,848, with the correction extending toward the $60,000 region.
That doesn’t mean Bitcoin is destined to repeat the same decline. The comparison is based on similar price behavior around the same technical level rather than a guarantee that the next move will be identical.
However, a weekly close below $78,300 followed by an unsuccessful attempt to reclaim it would strengthen the bearish case.
The opposite scenario is straightforward. If BTC gets back above $78,300 and holds it as support, approximately $82,200 becomes the next major level on Rekt Capital’s chart.
Bitcoin Price Levels to Watch Today
With BTC around $77,000, the first resistance area is $77,800–$78,300.
A move above $78,300 would improve the short-term setup, although bulls would still need to hold above it rather than simply produce another intraday wick. From there, $79,000–$79,500 becomes the next obstacle, followed by the psychological $80,000 level.
Above $80,000, Rekt Capital’s $82,195 weekly resistance becomes the bigger target.
Support remains around $76,000–$76,500. Buyers defended this region during Friday’s volatility, making it an important near-term floor.
A breakdown below $76,000 could put $75,000 back in play. More importantly on the weekly chart, approximately $72,850 is the next major structural support identified by Rekt Capital.
This makes $78,300 the level that could determine whether Bitcoin begins rebuilding its recovery or remains vulnerable to another leg lower.

Strategy’s “Never Sell Bitcoin” Policy Wasn’t Actually a Rule
Another interesting Bitcoin story comes from Strategy, formerly known as MicroStrategy.
CEO Phong Le recently explained that the company’s famous “never sell” Bitcoin position was more of a marketing concept than an absolute corporate policy. He said Strategy needs to remain willing to sell BTC when its capital structure makes doing so necessary.
That isn’t merely theoretical.
Strategy sold roughly 7,000 BTC during a purchasing pause this summer, with much of the selling occurring around $60,000–$65,000. Le said the transactions were driven by capital-management considerations, including funding preferred dividends, rather than a bearish view on Bitcoin.
The sales represented less than 1% of the company’s Bitcoin position, and Strategy remained a substantial net buyer during 2026. After subsequently resuming purchases, its holdings reached 845,050 BTC. As of September 7, the company reported no BTC purchases or sales during the preceding week.
So the more accurate description of Strategy’s policy today isn’t “never sell.” It is closer to remaining a long-term net accumulator while retaining the ability to sell BTC when the company’s financing needs make that preferable.
That distinction matters given the enormous size of Strategy’s holdings. A flexible selling policy doesn’t mean the company is preparing to unload its Bitcoin, but it does remove the assumption that its BTC can never return to the market.
Revolut Data Breach Exposes Bitcoin Transaction Histories
A separate story this weekend raises a very different concern for Bitcoin holders: privacy.
Revolut confirmed that it disclosed sensitive customer information to an unauthorized third party after receiving fraudulent information requests that appeared to originate from a legitimate government-agency email domain. The company later discovered that the account was unauthorized and notified affected customers and regulators.
According to customer notices reported publicly, the compromised information for some affected users included identification documents, addresses and Bitcoin transaction histories.
This creates a particularly serious privacy issue for cryptocurrency users because transaction histories can potentially connect a person’s verified identity with blockchain activity.
Importantly, this was not described as a compromise of the Bitcoin network itself. The problem involved sensitive customer information held by a centralized financial platform and a fraudulent government-style data request.
The incident is therefore more relevant to custody and privacy risks surrounding centralized services than to Bitcoin’s underlying security.
Bitcoin Price Prediction for September 13
Sunday could remain relatively quiet, but today’s weekly close makes this weekend more important than Saturday’s narrow trading range might imply.
Our base case is continued trading between approximately $76,000 and $78,500 for much of the day. Bitcoin currently lacks the momentum required to make $80,000 the most likely immediate outcome, while buyers have also shown willingness to defend the mid-$76,000 region.
The bullish scenario begins with a recovery above $78,300. Holding that level could bring $79,000–$79,500 back into focus, followed by another attempt at $80,000. A stronger breakout would put approximately $82,200 on the radar.
The bearish scenario becomes more compelling if BTC closes the week below $78,300 and subsequently fails to reclaim it. In that case, Rekt Capital’s comparison with May becomes more relevant, particularly if $76,000 also gives way. The larger weekly support around $72,850 could then become an important downside level.
