#比特币以太坊触及数月高点
BTC surged past $80,000, and ETH climbed back to around $2,500. My first reaction was not, “The bull market is here,” but rather: what exactly is this wave of capital trading?
On September 4, Bitcoin briefly rose to around $82,000, marking its highest level since May; Ethereum also returned above $2,500.
Interestingly, this rally was not simply the crypto market getting excited on its own.
A few days earlier, the market was still betting that the Fed might continue tightening. But as Fed officials sent relatively dovish signals, the dollar weakened, and the market began pricing in renewed liquidity expectations. $BTC and $ETH immediately responded.
This once again proves one thing:
Bitcoin is increasingly looking like a thermometer for global liquidity.
Whether the dollar is strong or weak, whether U.S. Treasury yields are high or low, and whether the Fed raises rates or not—all of these factors are ultimately transmitted to the crypto market through funding costs.
But I actually do not recommend chasing after seeing $80,000.
Because there is another real test today—the U.S. August nonfarm payrolls report.
If employment data comes in clearly weaker, the market may further trade in rate-cut expectations, which would naturally be supportive for risk assets; but if employment is strong again by a wide margin, then the easing expectations that had finally built up could very well be pushed back down.
So what really matters in this rally is not whether BTC can rise another $2,000.
It is whether macro capital is willing to assign it a higher valuation.
A price breakout is only the first step; whether it can hold those gains is the second.
