🚀 $BTC — the most violent week of 2026
BTC opened at $63,200 and peaked at $79,500 before closing the week at $77,600. A breathtaking +22% in five days — the strongest weekly gain since March 2024. After 47 days of range between $61K and $67K — the market exploded. The breakout was violent, fast and historical. Nobody who was short survived it. 😱
💥 the short squeeze — a historic liquidation event
This week will be remembered in Bitcoin history. Bitcoin perpetual futures recorded approximately $1.1B in short liquidations in a single day — the largest ever recorded, surpassing the previous record of $757M from May 2021. The move was mechanical — the breakout above $67K triggered the liquidation cluster, forcing shorts to close, which pushed price higher, which triggered more liquidations, which pushed price higher again. A self-reinforcing cascade in the opposite direction of June. 🔥
As we posted during the week — the key question was: real breakout or trap to liquidate both sides? The answer came fast. $BTC held above $65,700 and never looked back. This week confirmed it was not just a squeeze — there was real demand behind the move. 🧠
🚨 Short liquidations: $1.1B in one day — largest in Bitcoin history
📊 Previous record: $757M — May 2021
📊 Also larger than the October 10, 2025 event
💥 $67K liquidation cluster triggered a self-reinforcing cascade
✅ $BTC held above $65,700 — confirmed real demand behind the move
🏦 ETF — institutions led the charge
US spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted $1.918B across five sessions — the largest weekly inflow since April's best weeks. I mentioned $1.10B in my notes but the confirmed number is even better — $1.918B. BlackRock's IBIT supplied most of the week's demand. Institutions were not chasing the move — they were positioned before it. The ETF flows absorbed 7.9x the weekly Bitcoin mining issuance — demand completely overwhelmed new supply. 💰
✅ Weekly ETF inflows: $1.918B — largest since April
✅ BlackRock IBIT: led all funds
✅ Flows = 7.9x weekly mining supply — demand crushed supply
📈 Treasury buybacks and advancing crypto regulation frameworks also fuelled the move
🌍 the whole crypto market pumped
This was not just a BTC move. XRP led the weekly rally with +46%, Ethereum +28%, Dogecoin +30%, Solana +24%, Hyperliquid +35%, BNB +15%. The entire market repriced simultaneously — the biggest broad crypto rally of 2026. Even the altcoins that had been bleeding for months found relief. 🚀
🎙 jackson hole — the next catalyst
The market paused Friday as all eyes shifted to Jackson Hole, August 27-29 — Warsh's first keynote as Fed Chair. The 2026 theme is "Financial Innovation: Implications for Payments and Policy" — the closest the Fed's event has ever come to a crypto agenda. But Warsh has curtailed forward guidance at every opportunity since May — shortened statements, evasive press conferences, independence from market pricing. Analysts warn: don't expect a clear signal. The real signal may be committee dissent, not the podium. Position carefully. 👀
📅 Jackson Hole: August 27-29 — Warsh's first keynote
🎙 Theme: Financial Innovation + Payments + Policy — crypto on the agenda
⚠️ Warsh track record: evasive, no forward guidance — don't expect clear signals
⚠️ Token Bay Capital: "We're expecting one final flush -20%" — bears not dead
📅 September FOMC: September 16-17 — hike vs hold still unresolved
🔑 week in short
The most violent week of 2026. BTC +22%, historic short squeeze, $1.918B in ETF inflows, entire crypto market pumping double digits. The bears who had been positioned short for months got completely destroyed. But as we posted Tuesday — the real test is not the breakout, it's whether $BTC can hold above $65,700 and build from there. So far it is. Jackson Hole and September FOMC are the next two catalysts. Stay sharp — this is where overconfident longs can get trapped next. 🎯

📊 $BTC — range with no conviction
$BTC opened at $64,500 and closed at $62,000 — a -3.9% pullback 📉 The market is now locked in a tight range between $62K and $65K with no real momentum in either direction. Fear & Greed sits at 37 — compare that to the 39 last week and 32 the week before. Three weeks of sideways sentiment — slowly grinding up but stalling. The market is waiting for a stronger catalyst before committing to a direction. 😐
🏦 ETF — outflows return
After two strong inflow weeks — the tide reversed with -$389.7M in outflows this week 😬 Institutions took profits after the NFP-driven rally. BTC stalled near $63,500 despite softer PPI — needs to reclaim $64K to ease pressure, otherwise risks a retest of lows. The outflows are not alarming on their own — but combined with the price weakness they confirm institutions are not yet committing to a sustained recovery. 👁
📉 Weekly outflows: -$389.7M — profit-taking after NFP rally
⚠️ $64K needs to be reclaimed — key level for short term direction
👀 Not alarming but confirms no conviction above $65K yet
🌡 CPI + PPI — inflation quietly cooling
CPI July came in at exactly 3.4% YoY — matching forecasts — with core CPI easing to 2.5%, the lowest since March 2021. PPI came in flat at 0.0% month-on-month — softer than the 0.2% forecast. Core PPI cooled to 4.2% year-over-year from 4.7% in June.
Together the softer CPI and flat PPI readings reduced immediate pressure for a more hawkish Fed stance, contributing to a weaker dollar and supporting gold and silver prices. The data is doing exactly what the market needs — cooling gradually without a shock. The next tests are Jackson Hole later this month, the September 4 jobs report and the September 11 CPI release. 🧠
✅ CPI July: 3.4% YoY — in line, core at 2.5% — lowest since March 2021
✅ PPI July: flat 0.0% MoM — softer than 0.2% expected
✅ Core PPI: 4.2% YoY — down from 4.7% in June
📅 Next inflation read: September 11
📅 Jackson Hole: end of August — Warsh speaks
🥇 BTC / $XAU — moving together
One of the most interesting observations of the week — BTCand gold (XAU) are moving in the same direction, both finding support from the softer CPI and flat PPI readings as the weaker dollar bias supported hard assets across the board. When the dollar weakens — both gold and BTC benefit. When inflation cools but uncertainty remains — investors reach for hard assets. Gold slipped below $4,400 on profit-taking Friday — and BTC followed almost tick-for-tick. This correlation is worth watching — if gold breaks higher, BTC may follow. 👀
🥇 XAU and $BTC : moving in sync this week
💵 Driver: weaker dollar after soft CPI + flat PPI
📉 Both sold off Friday on profit-taking — same moment, same move
👀 Watch XAU as a leading indicator for BTC direction
🔑 week in short
Inflation cooling — confirmed. Dollar weakening — confirmed. BTC and XAU moving in lockstep — confirmed. But the market doesn't pump on confirmed data — it needs surprises. An in-line report removes a tail risk — it takes a genuine surprise to create a catalyst. The range between $62K and $65K will hold until one of three things breaks it — Jackson Hole, the September 4 NFP or September 11 CPI. Stay patient. The setup is building — not yet triggered. 🎯
