Goldman joins Wall Street in bracing for a September Fed rate hike
|
|
Goldman Sachs dropped its no-hike call late Friday, leaving a 25 basis point Federal Reserve increase next week close to consensus across Wall Street. For Bitcoin, the shift matters because higher policy rates and tighter financial conditions can keep pressure on risk assets even if inflation itself has not materially reaccelerated.

|
|

|
|
CoinDesk reported that the U.S. Senateโs planned September 15 procedural vote on the CLARITY Act may still slip, fail, or move forward only as an opening step. The uncertainty leaves digital-asset market structure in limbo just as the industry tries to lock in a durable U.S. regulatory framework.

Bitcoin still needs an $81,700 breakout to confirm a new bull cycle
|
|
CryptoQuant said Bitcoinโs outlook remains constructive, but the market still needs a decisive break above the 365-day average near $81,700 to validate a new bull phase. The firm also flagged heavy overhead supply and identified support zones around $70,000 and $62,000 to $65,000 if momentum weakens again.
