The sharp divergence reflects how Bitcoin miners are changing their business models, with companies such as Riot, Core Scientific and IREN increasingly signing AI and data-center deals. As a result, WGMI is no longer behaving like a simple leveraged bet on Bitcoin and is becoming increasingly tied to the broader AI infrastructure and data-center trend. Meanwhile, Bitcoin edged higher from its weekly lows after U.S. July PPI data came in softer than expected. Producer prices rose 4.7% year-over-year, below the 4.9% forecast, while the monthly increase was 0.2%. The cooler inflation reading reduced expectations of further Fed tightening, supporting U.S. equities and giving Bitcoin some room to recover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the time of writing, BTC was trading at $63,350.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"560\" src=\"https:\/\/zebpay.com\/in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/BTC-Weekly-Chart-17-08-2026-1024x560.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41836\" style=\"width:1120px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zebpay.com\/in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/BTC-Weekly-Chart-17-08-2026-1024x560.png 1024w, https:\/\/zebpay.com\/in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/BTC-Weekly-Chart-17-08-2026-300x164.png 300w, https:\/\/zebpay.com\/in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/BTC-Weekly-Chart-17-08-2026-768x420.png 768w, https:\/\/zebpay.com\/in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/BTC-Weekly-Chart-17-08-2026-1536x841.png 1536w, https:\/\/zebpay.com\/in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/BTC-Weekly-Chart-17-08-2026-150x82.png 150w, https:\/\/zebpay.com\/in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/BTC-Weekly-Chart-17-08-2026.png 1796w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/zebpay.com\/in\/blog\/goldman-sachs-to-acquire-3-crypto-etfs-through-neos-takeover\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Goldman Sachs to Acquire 3 Crypto ETFs Through NEOS Takeover<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bitcoin, after making an all-time high of $126,199, witnessed a sharp fall. The price corrected almost 52% and made a low of $60,000. Post this move, the asset gave a relief rally up to $82,850. However, the bulls failed to maintain their grip on the asset, and prices witnessed another correction, making a recent low of $57,800. Currently, BTC is consolidating and trading in a range from $61,000 to $66,500 with declining volumes. Breakouts on either side of the range with good volumes will further decide the trend for the asset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Key Levels<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Support 2<\/span><\/strong><\/td><td><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Support 1<\/span><\/strong><\/td><td><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Asset<\/span><\/strong><\/td><td><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Resistance 1<\/span><\/strong><\/td><td><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Resistance 2<\/span><\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>$52,000<\/td><td>$60,000<\/td><td><strong>BTC<\/strong><\/td><td>$62,000<\/td><td>$82,500<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unravel everything that you need for your crypto journey via <a href=\"https:\/\/zebpay.com\/in\/blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>ZebPay blogs<\/strong><\/a>.
