【Morning News by Uncle】2026.08.21｜BTC surges to 73,000, US stocks fall by over 700 points, A-shares open lower under pressure
—
BTC breaks above 73,000, driven by a triple catalyst: Trump pushing the bill forward + short liquidations + increased ETF volume. $BTC is currently reported at 73,042.8 (+6.35%), while $XRP +14.78% leads among mainstream movers.
US stocks saw a sharp overnight selloff: Dow -1.32%, S&P -0.87%, Nasdaq -1.00%. Oil prices and US Treasury yields were both under pressure.
Today’s A-shares open lower under pressure. As it is the index futures settlement day, volatility has intensified. After the low opening, watch two signals: whether high-dividend stocks can absorb demand, and whether technology stocks are catching up after a drawdown.
After four straight gains, Hong Kong stocks face a test from profit-taking. Holding the opening low for Hang Seng TECH is the key. Nikkei -1.19% and KOSPI -1.35% both opened lower.
💎 If BTC holds above 72,000 and the aggressive buy-side continues to outweigh sell-side, the uptrend can extend; for A-shares, after opening lower and seeing volume stabilize, cross-market capital sentiment is what really matters. #BTC突破$72000 #ETH突破$2300
