On September 8, 2026, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil rose 5.2% to close at $90.22 per barrel, its highest close since July 23, after the U.S. launched a second strike on Iran in less than a week. [^6]

An alternative bearish path is a gradual descending trendline from the $80,626 August high reaching the $62,000 area over about eight weeks into late October, similar to previous grinding structural breakdowns in October 2025 and January 2026. [^9]

Bitcoin gained close to 25% in August, rising from about $64,420 on August 19 to nearly $80,700 by August 25, then consolidated around $77,470. [^10]

Bitcoin's four-hour RSI sits at 44.8, leaning bearish but not in oversold territory, and the ADX is at 22, below the 25 threshold for a confirmed trend. [^11]
