Bitcoin Drops 3.4% to $77,383 — The Fed's Hawkish Wing Just Threw Cold Water on the Debasement Trade 🧊
After touching a weekly high of $81,281 , $BTC got dragged back to the $77,000 zone on Aug 28 as Fed Chair Kevin Warsh delivered his Jackson Hole debut with a clear message: the Fed has "more work to do" on inflation. September rate-hike odds immediately jumped from 35% → 42% (CME FedWatch), pushing bond yields higher and sending risk assets into a retreat.
But the backdrop is far from bearish:
📈 BTC is still +20.2% over the past 30 days — August is shaping up to be the best month since 2017 (+26.35% MTD)
💵 US spot ETFs have seen 9 consecutive days of inflows, totaling over $3B since Aug 17 , led by the iShares Bitcoin Trust (BlackRock) and Morgan Stanley's new fund
🏛️ The core macro driver is intact: the US Treasury announced it will double its bond buyback program (liquidity support), and US national debt crossed $40 trillion for the first time — the very "dollar debasement" narrative that Grayscale names BTC, ETH, and ZEC as primary beneficiaries of
The price structure is clear:
Support at $76,500 — buyers are defending it but without conviction; a daily close below opens the door to $75,000
Resistance at $79,500 → $80,000–$81,000 → $83,300 (QCP Capital warns a break above $83,300 needs funding rates and derivatives OI that aren't overheated)
Fear & Greed is still in Greed territory (68–78) — sentiment is lagging price, with no signs of panic yet
One detail worth noting: Ireland's CAB just moved 500 BTC ($38M) — origin dating back to 2016 — into Coinbase Prime. Old coins are still hunting for liquidity to take profit, adding a quiet supply overhang alongside miner selling.
