**Bitcoin Battles to Maintain Key Support Amid Market Volatility**

Bitcoin (BTC) starts the week striving to hold onto crucial support levels as the market braces for significant macroeconomic data. BTC/USD closed the week at $54,000, giving traders cautious optimism for short-term price movements.

Key economic indicators like the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Producer Price Index (PPI) are due this week, just ahead of the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision on September 18. Crypto funds saw a $600 million outflow last week, with spot Bitcoin ETFs also experiencing steady net outflows.

Analysts note that BTC's current price action mirrors 2019 patterns, suggesting a potential 20% bounce. However, Bitcoin remains down 7% for September, aligning with historical trends.

As the market awaits crucial economic data, Bitcoin's ability to stay above $52,500 is seen as vital for short-term continuation. The coming days will be pivotal for BTC's trajectory.
