WELCOME TO SEPTEMBER.
New month. New opportunities.
But September is starting with a market that deserves some respect — because right now crypto isn’t trading alone. Macro is driving the game again.
BTC spent the night roughly between $77.2K–$79.2K and is still holding above the key $78K area.
August closed with approximately +24% for Bitcoin, its strongest month since November 2024.
Now the question is simple:
Was August the beginning of another leg higher — or does September first need a reset?
Losing $77K convincingly would make me much more defensive in the short term.
ETH is recovering around the $2.45K–$2.47K area, but I still want to see whether it can build strength independently rather than simply following BTC.
No reason to scream “ALTSEASON” because a few coins pump.
Selective rotation ≠ altseason.
This is what traders should actually be watching:
Higher oil → more inflation pressure.
Higher yields → tighter financial conditions.
Tighter conditions → more pressure on risk assets.
And BTC is currently trying to hold ~$78K despite that environment.
The market now turns toward U.S. employment data ahead of the September 16 Fed decision.
A strong jobs report could reinforce the higher-for-longer / rate-hike narrative, while weaker data could relieve some of the pressure currently hitting risk assets.
September starts with BTC in a very interesting position:
Strong August performance + weak macro environment + BTC refusing to collapse.
That’s not a market where I want to blindly chase green candles.
I’m watching $77K–$78K below and $79K–$80K above.
Let the market show its hand first.
Protect capital. Wait for confirmation. Then attack.
