Powell turns hawkish, reigniting rate-hike expectations: September hike probability rises to nearly 60%, with possibly two hikes before March 2027
The Federal Reserve chair Powell on Friday reignited market expectations for rate hikes with remarks at the Jackson Hole annual symposium. While he did not directly provide policy guidance for the September meeting, he clearly said that policymakers must be confident that underlying inflation is falling back toward the 2% target in a “clear and sufficiently rapid” manner; otherwise, the Fed “still has work to do.” The statement quickly changed pricing in the interest-rate market. Media reports said market moves indicated traders restarted bets on a single 25-basis-point rate hike later this year, and leaned toward expecting two hikes by March 2027. CME-related data showed the probability of a September hike rose from about 35% before Powell’s remarks to 50%, while other market data at one point suggested the probability increased to around 55%. Later reporting also said market data showed the probability briefly reached about 60%.
🚀 Aug 27|Crypto Market Snapshot $BNB 🧧🧧 🔥 BTC reclaims the $80,000 level BTC briefly dipped below $79K earlier today, but buy-side demand quickly returned—it's now back around $80,000. ETH is about $2,500–$2,520, SOL has reclaimed $100, and total market cap is roughly $2.75–$2.78T. After this round of gains, the market remains highly volatile, but the long-side structure has not yet been broken. 💰 ETF flows continue to be core support Spot BTC ETFs saw net inflows of about $1.92B in the previous week, with inflows staying positive for multiple consecutive days. Institutional demand is still a key reason BTC can keep challenging $80K. Investopedia +1 ⚡ Tomorrow: $6.4B BTC options expire On Aug 28, Deribit will see around 81,700 BTC options expire, with a notional value of about $6.4B. There are clearly concentrated option positions around $75K and $80K. That suggests BTC may see more intense up-and-down sweeps over the next 24 hours. $80K is once again the key battleground. Binance +1 🏦 The U.S. is moving forward with crypto custody rule reforms The SEC’s proposed amendments to the digital asset custody rules have entered the White House review process. If they are finalized, they will directly affect the infrastructure for investment advisers, custodians, and broader institutional capital entering the crypto market.

Ethereum Foundation Blog 🌐 The market is waiting for Jackson Hole The biggest macro event this week remains Jackson Hole. Fed Chair Kevin Warsh is scheduled to speak on Aug 28; the market will focus on interest rates, liquidity, and the future policy path. The Wall Street Journal 📊 Today’s market BTC → ~$80K ETH → ~$2.5K SOL → $100+ TOTAL MARKET CAP → ~$2.75T BTC ETF → strong inflows 🚀 The real test for the market is here. BTC is back above $80K, but tomorrow it faces at the same time: $6.4B options expiry + Jackson Hole + elevated market sentiment. So the next question matters more than “can it rise?”— can $80K truly turn into new support?

The monetization process of Bitcoin also follows a similar trajectory. In this analogy, the material that continues to endure sustained pressure is the US dollar credit system. The first phase is discovery. Both returns and volatility are extremely high; large funds find it difficult to allocate to Bitcoin, and it is also hard to obtain financing by using it as collateral. The second phase is maturation. Returns and volatility narrow in tandem, risk-adjusted returns improve, investors are able to expand their allocation, and it gradually becomes a more attractive collateral asset. The third phase is monetization driven by the financial system. Dedicated capital and credit-driven buy orders begin to enter the Bitcoin market at scale, triggering a self-reinforcing loop; the uptrend accelerates again and breaks upward along a power-law trajectory.
🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧 Success doesn’t depend on how many things you do. It depends on how well—and how deeply—you do the few things that matter, and on how effectively you clear away distractions.
$ZEC When the grayscale opens its mouth, it basically means something bad is about to happen. Every time they talk about the privacy milk track, there’s a high chance we’re about to see a wave of a major plunge. This time they directly called it down to 8000—and I’m actually more panicked.
Look at character through the details. Whether someone is worth getting close to can be seen from how they dress. People with clean, tidy clothes are self-disciplined and reliable; they live with sincerity and stability. Those who dress appropriately and with good taste understand boundaries and treat others with respect. People whose outfits are simple and understated have pure hearts; deep down, they are kind. Clothes may be ordinary, but temperament and cultivation shine from within. A clean, well-groomed appearance is, without doubt, backed by clean character. When making friends, you don’t need many—just ones that are sincere and make you feel comfortable. In the rest of your life, stay close to clean, kind, and trustworthy people. Of course, outward appearance can only serve as a simple reference for social interactions. In this world, there are also people who dress properly but whose conduct is not upright. Don’t judge by appearances alone—time will tell. As the road gets long, you’ll know the horse’s strength; over days and years, you’ll see people’s hearts. Only with long-term contact can you truly understand someone’s true intentions.
Your big cousin is already this busy, yet he still makes time to calm down a situation that has nothing to do with you—respect!
Even though what was said—@CZ —offends people, it really hits the mark for me. Every person you’ve met is fate; why does it have to end with ruining each one and leaving them with nothing, just to be “done”?
🔥 $80K is no longer just a target for BTC—now it’s turning into a test question.
Over the past week, $BTC surged rapidly by nearly 25%, even pushing above around $81K.
But after the breakout, the market didn’t just keep accelerating blindly.
Instead, BTC began repeatedly battling around $80K.
This actually makes me feel that the current setup is more worth watching than the breakout moment.
Because yesterday, an important variable already played out:
About $6.44B worth of BTC options expired.
After the short-term derivatives game gradually fades away, the market now has to answer a more realistic question:
Without expiration-date catalysts, will real buyers still be willing to keep stepping in?
Right now, I’m mainly watching three signals:
🔹 Whether $80K can truly turn from resistance into support 🔹 Whether, during pullbacks, there’s sustained spot buying support 🔹 After BTC consolidates sideways, whether capital continues to rotate into major assets like ETH and BNB
This round of the market has already proven one thing:
BTC has the ability to break out.
The next phase needs to prove whether:
The market has the capability to hold the breakout.
The breakout determines the height.
The follow-through determines the trend.
