Bitcoin fell below US$80,000, gold and cryptocurrencies were under pressure, and U.S. stocks rose against the trend.

When Wall Street opened on Tuesday, Bitcoin (BTC) fell below US$80,000. The rally in cryptocurrencies and gold gave way to the rise in the U.S. stock market.

Key Points

Bitcoin's upward momentum has subsided, making it difficult for the US$80,000 mark to be transformed into support. Gold fell along with Bitcoin prices after hitting a multi-month high of $4697 an ounce, while the U.S. 30-year Treasury yield targeted a three-week low. Market attention shifted from bonds to tomorrow's U.S. inflation data and Nvidia's earnings report.

U.S. President Donald Trump accused Canada of "blackmailing" the United States on his Truth Social account and vowed: "Over the past decade, the United States has lost an average of $60 billion a year due to Canada." That's it!" U.S. Treasury yields continued to cool on the day, with the 30-year yield falling below 5.2%, close to its lowest level since August 7. Last week's surge in cryptocurrencies came as yields hit new highs since January 2007, and the U.S. Treasury Department announced a larger bond repurchase operation to curb the upside.

In a post on the X platform, he said: "The reality is that the Fed cannot cut interest rates in the current environment, and the Trump administration knows this." Direct intervention in the bond market is therefore the only solution to driving down interest rates and yields in the short term. Our opinion? Don't confront the Treasury." According to CME Group's FedWatch tool data, the market consensus expects the Federal Reserve to continue to keep interest rates unchanged at its September meeting, with the current probability of 61.9%.

PCE and Nvidia's earnings have attracted much attention

Talking about the recent macro outlook, trading firm QCP Capital shifted its focus from the Treasury Department to the latest U.S. inflation data and the Federal Reserve's Jackson Hole Economic Seminar held from August 27 to 29. The July personal consumption expenditure (PCE) index, the Fed's preferred inflation indicator, will be released on Wednesday, which showed its first month-on-month decline in June since 2020. At the same time, technology giant Nvidia will also report earnings on Wednesday, which will serve as another potential catalyst for volatility in risky assets.
