Warsh Just Answered the $80K Question; And $BTC Didn't Like the Answer We had the question yesterday: would Kevin Warsh's first Jackson Hole speech send Bitcoin toward $83,000, or back to $75,500? Now we have the answer, and it wasn't the one bulls wanted. Warsh opened his keynote, titled "In Our Time," by dismissing the market's optimism outright: "I'm struggling to define the financial conditions as restrictive." He pointed to PCE inflation running at 4.1% over the past six months; still well above the Fed's 2% target; and made clear that recent softer prints haven't changed his underlying view. No rate-cut signal. No dovish pivot. Just a Fed chair holding the line. $BTC fell 3% to $77,955, erasing almost all of its double-digit weekly gain after touching $81,479 overnight. Gold dropped 2.4%, and both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq turned negative; this wasn't crypto-specific selling, it was a full risk-off reaction across markets. With weekend liquidity thinning out from here, the real test is whether $76,000–$78,000 holds, or whether Friday's disappointment turns into a deeper slide. #BTC Price Analysis# #Macro Insights# #Altcoin Season#
