Bitcoin fell from $81,315 to $79,885 in the five minutes after the August jobs report showed 162,000 payrolls added, and Polymarket made a September rate increase the favorite.

Bitcoin held above $77,000 through the Asian and European sessions and the U.S. open after ADP reported 38,000 August private jobs. Polymarket puts a September Fed increase at 59%.

Bitcoin accumulation has slowed as prices retreat toward $77,000, though investors remain net buyers ahead of the US jobs report.
