CoinEx News: Bitcoin traded around $79,500 on September 7, retreating from above $82,000 last week as stronger U.S. jobs data fueled expectations of tighter monetary policy. August payrolls rose by 162,000 against forecasts near 55,000. Following the report, CME FedWatch showed roughly a 60% probability of a 25-basis-point hike at the September 16 meeting.

Spot demand offered a counterweight: U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs recorded $987 million in net inflows last week, their third consecutive positive week. QCP Capital identified support at $77,000 to $78,000 and resistance at $80,000 to $82,000. BTC remained below that resistance zone despite continued ETF inflows.

August CPI, due September 11 at 8:30 a.m. ET, is the next major catalyst. A hotter-than-expected reading could reinforce hike expectations and increase pressure on support; softer inflation could ease that pressure. A sustained move above $82,000 would strengthen the recovery case, while a break below $77,000 would weaken it. The price response will matter alongside the inflation surprise.
