Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC) has surged approximately 32% over the past two months, rising from a close of $63,694 on July 31, 2026, to around $84,883 by September 27.

Bitcoin hit its lowest point of $57,718 on July 1, then closed July at $63,694. This two-month increase starts from the lower end of its 2026 range.
