CryptoJack said Bitcoin is closing its strongest August performance in nine years, marking a sharp turnaround after a difficult first half of 2026. The move puts Bitcoinโs late-summer recovery at the center of renewed bullish momentum, with traders now turning their attention toward the final quarter of the year.
