2026-08-31 A few observations on this setup

A few reference points before the U.S. stock market opens.

1. If Friday’s PCE comes in below 2.5%, it’s positive for risk assets; if it’s 2.6% or higher, the market will reprice expectations for rate cuts.
2. There’s a hidden thread in earnings season: mega-scale data center capex. If TSLA/MSFT provide higher capital expenditure guidance, the AI sector will heat up again.
3. The U.S. Treasury yield curve is steepening. The spread between the 2-year and 10-year notes widening corresponds to both recession expectations and rate-cut expectations rising at the same time.

The pace in the U.S. stock market directly affects crypto market opening sentiment. Crypto typically reacts 4–8 hours later than U.S. stocks. The key is the volume on the first 1h candlestick after the open.

A simple playbook for crypto: BTC 79038 (+1.13%), ETH 2511. Both BTC and ETH are consolidating on lower volume—wait until the direction is chosen before increasing position size.

You may consider taking profits in batches, keeping risk exposure within 1.5x of account equity.

How did you draw today’s key levels?
