CoinShares says Fed blocks bitcoin at $80,000, fund flows driven by rate outlook

CoinShares says U.S. Federal Reserve monetary policy has re-emerged as a key factor limiting bitcoin from breaking above $80,000, even as crypto investment demand continues. Research chief James Butterfill said bitcoin is trading like gold again, but the Fed sets the ceiling as liquidity and rate expectations drive flows. After Jackson Hole comments lifted September hike expectations, about $100 million left digital asset products before inflows recovered to $1 billion by Sept. 4 amid talk of a possible hold.

KOSPI fails to break 7,000, returns to range trading; focus on U.S. rates and inflation

South Korean stocks are expected to take cues this week from U.S. inflation data ahead of the September FOMC meeting. Strong semiconductor earnings and surging exports are supporting the downside, but elevated U.S. long-term yields and Middle East tensions are limiting upside momentum. Markets are watching U.S. producer prices on Sept. 10 and consumer prices on Sept. 11 after stronger-than-expected U.S. jobs data lifted yield and rate-hike expectations.

Bitcoin \'Bart Simpson\' pattern resurfaces; break below $75,800 may signal sharp drop

Bitcoin has moved sideways in the $77,000 range after a sharp rise in August, heightening market caution over a potential steep drop. Some analysts say the chart could form a so-called “Bart Simpson” pattern, in which prices surge, trade in a tight range and then quickly return toward the starting point. Traders are focused on $75,800, which could strengthen bearish expectations if broken. Seasonal weakness in September and upcoming Fed policy decisions are also in focus.
