Weekly Market Setup β $80K Changes the Game
$BTC is trading around $80KοΏ½οΏ½$81K after briefly breaking above $81K today. This is no longer just a relief bounce. Bitcoin has reclaimed major trend levels and pushed the total crypto market cap back toward $2.7T.
$ETH is holding around $2.51K, while BTC dominance remains high near 60%. That tells me one thing: the market is bullish, but Bitcoin is still firmly in control.
The rally has serious fuel behind it. U.S. Treasury bond buybacks weakened the dollar and revived the debasement trade, while spot $BTC ETFs just posted their strongest week of 2026. More than $4B in bearish crypto positions were wiped out during the rally.
But the easy part of this move may already be behind us.
Sentiment has gone vertical. CMC Fear & Greed is now around 82 β Extreme Greed. After a 20%+ BTC rally in roughly a week, leverage and FOMO are becoming much more dangerous.
Levels I'm watching:
$BTC: Holding $78.5Kβ$80K keeps the bullish structure intact. Above $81Kβ$82K, momentum could quickly target the mid-$80Ks. Lose $78K and I'd expect a deeper retest.
$ETH: $2.45K remains the first important support. Holding above $2.50K keeps momentum constructive.
My bias: bullish, but definitely not chasing here.
ETF demand is back, macro liquidity is helping and BTC has broken major resistance. But Extreme Greed after a massive short squeeze is exactly where risk management starts to matter.
Next major test: U.S. PCE followed by Jackson Hole.

@MartiniGuyYT $BTC above $80K looks strong.
Now I just want to see $79.5K hold. If it does, $82K feels like the obvious next test.
After a move like this, a retest would be completely normal.
Bulls are in control for now.

Bitcoin capped its best week since 2024 after briefly topping $79K. U.S. spot ETFs pulled in nearly $1.92B across five straight positive sessions.
The rally started as a squeeze. ETF demand made it more than that. Weekend liquidity is the next test.
$BTC #Bitcoin#Crypto
That liquidity sweep is exactly what bulls wanted to see.
$BTC ripping through $73.7K and wiping shorts is a strong momentum signal β but I wouldn't call the bear market dead just yet.
Now comes the real test: can Bitcoin turn the $73Kβ$74K breakout zone into support?
Hold it, and $82Kβ$84K liquidity starts looking very interesting.
Lose it, and this may have been one hell of a short squeeze.

Weekend Market Outlook β The Squeeze Changed the Setup
What a difference 48 hours can make.
$BTC is trading around $74Kβ$75K after breaking the $69K 200-day MA and briefly pushing above $75.5K. $ETH has been even more aggressive, reclaiming $2,300 after trading below $2,000 earlier this week.
Total crypto market cap has jumped back toward the $2.4β$2.5T area, while BTC dominance remains elevated around 59%. Fear & Greed has flipped rapidly into Greed near 70β72.
The catalyst wasn't just crypto-native. Expanded U.S. Treasury bond buybacks helped ease liquidity fears, while Washington delivered several pro-crypto signals. ETF demand returned too: U.S. spot $BTC ETFs saw roughly $517M of inflows on Aug. 19, followed by another positive session on Aug. 20. $ETH ETFs added about $189M on Aug. 19.
But here's the part I wouldn't ignore.
More than $3B in crypto shorts were liquidated during the breakout. BTC funding is positive again, around +0.008%, meaning part of this move was clearly leverage-driven. After a squeeze this violent, chasing green candles into thinner weekend liquidity carries obvious risk.
Levels I'm watching:
$BTC: $72K is the first important hold. $70Kβ$69K is the bigger breakout zone. Above $75.5K, $78K becomes interesting.
$ETH: $2,250β$2,300 needs to hold. Above $2,400, $2,500 becomes the next obvious test.
Altcoins finally joined the move, with $XRP and $HYPE showing particularly strong relative momentum. That's constructive, but I want to see strength survive a BTC consolidation before calling this a broader altseason shift.
My weekend bias: bullish structure, cautious execution. Holding the breakout through low-liquidity weekend trading would be a strong signal. Losing $70K quickly would tell me the squeeze got ahead of itself.
Next week, Treasury liquidity, U.S. inflation data, ETF flows and Washington's crypto-regulation push stay front and center.

That liquidity sweep was nasty, but the reaction from here is what matters.
If $SUI quickly reclaims the breakdown area, this starts looking much more like a stop hunt than the beginning of another leg lower.

$10K ETH isn't impossible, but the path matters more than the target.
For me, the real confirmation comes when $ETH starts consistently outperforming $BTC again. If ETH/BTC really breaks that multi-year downtrend and institutional demand keeps growing, the $10K conversation gets a lot more serious.
Until then, $10K is a thesis β not a target I'd take for granted.

Strategy is slowly becoming much more than a company that holds Bitcoin.
They're building an entire capital structure around $BTC β different yields, different risk profiles and now metrics specifically designed to measure the Bitcoin-backed downside.
840,447 BTC sitting underneath it all.
Whether you like the model or not, this is a fascinating financial experiment happening in real time.

This is probably one of the most important charts for altcoins right now.
The breakout looks promising, but I'd still want to see a monthly close above that 4-year trendline before calling it a confirmed reversal.
If ETH/BTC can hold above it and start printing higher highs, that's when the altcoin narrative gets much more interesting.
Until then: breakout attempt, not confirmation.

Crypto Morning Brief β Aug 13
$BTC is still sitting around $63.5K after the latest U.S. CPI came in roughly in line with expectations.
No breakout. No panic. Just more waiting.
And honestly, I think that's the most interesting part of this market right now.
While prices remain stuck in a range, institutional crypto infrastructure keeps moving forward.
Goldman Sachs just agreed to acquire NEOS Investments for up to $2.25B, giving it exposure to a business that already runs Bitcoin and Ethereum income ETFs.
Fidelity is also moving to add staking to its Ethereum ETF, potentially allowing investors to receive quarterly distributions generated from staking rewards.
Meanwhile, sentiment is still firmly in Fear territory.
So we have a strange setup:
Price β boring.
Retail sentiment β weak.
Institutional infrastructure β still expanding.
For me, that's more interesting than trying to predict every $500 move in Bitcoin.
The next real catalyst probably won't come from another crypto headline.
It'll come from the Fed, liquidity or regulation.
Until then, $BTC holding the current range matters more than the noise.

The testnet numbers are the part that caught my attention.
If Hashi can turn even a small fraction of Bitcoin's idle capital into productive liquidity on Sui, this becomes much bigger than another short-term $SUI narrative.
Mainnet execution will be the real test.
Until then, $0.70 looks like an important level to watch.

On Aug. 14, the SEC will vote on whether to propose Regulation Crypto.

$BTC $ETH #Crypto#Regulation
$74K is definitely the level that could change the bigger picture.
But I think the monthly close is the important part here β not just a wick above resistance.
Reclaim $74K and hold it, and $100K becomes a very different conversation.
Until then, the risk of another move lower is still on the table.

CLARITY Act Update
The Senate vote has been pushed to September.
Majority Leader Thune has already filed the first procedural motion, allowing the bill to be taken up quickly once the Senate returns from recess.
But the clock is ticking.
Only ~14 working days remain in September before the midterm election cycle increasingly takes over.
Current estimates put the odds of passage in 2026 at roughly 15β25%.
The CLARITY Act is still alive.
But the window is getting very tight.
