[Morning News] Countdown to Woshe’s debut; money has already rushed ahead
Overnight price action continues the strength seen since Friday: BTC rose from 77,288 to 78,150, gaining another 1.12% overnight. This rebound has accelerated for three straight trading days, with a weekly cumulative increase of over 19%. AAVE remains the most aggressive asset in this rally—up another 12.78% overnight, and adding Friday’s full-day +11.59%, the two-day gain is close to 25%. ETH, LTC, and BGB also moved higher in sync. Nasdaq futures and gold were basically flat, suggesting this upswing is driven more by capital within the crypto market rather than a broad lift in overall risk appetite.
Institutional flows are also shifting: Bitcoin ETFs saw a net inflow of $517 million in a single day (8.19), one of the rare large one-day inflows this year. Ethereum ETFs recorded a net inflow of $189 million, the largest single-day inflow since October 2025. This shift in positioning happened after prices had already rebounded, which looks more like institutional confirmation than pre-positioning. Still, it indicates that large capital has not pulled out at elevated levels.
What’s truly worth watching is next week’s dense catalyst window: on August 26, there will be July PCE inflation data and Nvidia’s earnings release (the market expects revenue of roughly $91 billion). From August 27–29, it’s the Jackson Hole Global Central Bank Symposium. The newly appointed U.S. Federal Reserve chair, Woshe (who took over from Powell in May), will deliver his first Jackson Hole speech since taking office on August 28. The market widely views it as a key window to gauge the tone of the new policy.
[Morning News Key Words] Rushing ahead—before the catalysts are even delivered, the money has already moved. What looks like a calm broad-based rally this weekend is, in reality, early pricing ahead of the major macro catalysts landing next Wednesday. Historical experience suggests that “rushing ahead” volatility before the shoe drops tends to amplify—whether you’re bullish or bearish now, it’s advisable to leave room in your position sizing and leverage to handle next week.
