Bitcoin Trend Reversal?

DAILY MARKET OVERVIEW

Reversal or Fakeout?

👋 Hey, Crypto Enthusiasts! The market finally showed some real strength today, and the big question on everyone’s mind is: Are we seeing the start of a trend reversal?

After plenty of back-and-forth during the day, Bitcoin decisively broke above the $112K level in a rapid move higher.

So, what triggered the spike❓️

The US JOLTS Job Openings report came in at 7.18 million, missing both the forecast (7.38M) and last month’s reading (7.44M).

• JOLTS is a key measure of how many jobs are available, giving insights into the health of the labor market.

• Fewer job openings suggest a cooling economy, which eases inflation pressures and lowers the odds of the Federal Reserve keeping rates elevated.

For crypto, that’s typically short-term bullish since weaker labor data increases the chances of a rate cut this month.

❌ And we’re not done yet - more employment data is set to drop in the next two days, which means further volatility and quick reactions from both traditional and crypto markets.

⚠️ The key test now: BTC needs to close above $112K on the daily and hold that level through the rest of the week. If it does, that would be a strong signal that momentum is shifting in favor of the bulls.

Interestingly, ETH also showed life today. After a tough week marked by the Ethereum Foundation’s 10,000 ETH sale and exits from large staking validators, ETH had been under pressure.

But with BTC gaining strength and the macro backdrop improving, ETH could join the party if momentum holds.

SOCIAL SENTIMENT

Alts vs. BTC

While many expect September to be a Bitcoin-first month, today’s action showed altcoins are still ready to run when the door opens.

• Solana continues to lead the charge.

• ETH, HYPE, and DOGE are showing fresh signs of strength as well.

Analysts are split:

• Benjamin Cowen argues for BTC dominance in September.

• CoinTraderNik sees a scenario where alts outperform BTC through the rest of the month.

For now, we’re leaning toward alts keeping an edge during these short-term rallies, but we’re early in September, and a lot can shift.

👀 With more data and catalysts on the way this week, the market’s direction will become much clearer - so stay sharp, the action isn’t slowing down!

Benjamin Cowen – Bitcoin: Battle for the Bull Market (03.09.2025 Summary)

Benjamin Cowen shared his latest outlook on Bitcoin, focusing on whether it can hold its ground as the bull market support test begins.

Key Points:

• Bitcoin is now sitting right at its bull market support band. This level has been important in past cycles (2017, 2020, 2021).

• History often shows a high in August and a low in September before the next rally. That pattern seems to be repeating.

• If Bitcoin can hold support here through September, it sets up a strong chance for a rally in Q4, when previous cycle tops have happened (2013, 2017, 2021).

• If it falls below support, it could delay the rally by a month or more, but it doesn’t mean the cycle is over. It just requires more time for recovery.

• Cowen sees Bitcoin as the safer play compared to altcoins right now. If Bitcoin dips, altcoins are likely to drop harder. If Bitcoin rallies, it should lead the way.

Bottom line:
The market is at a key decision point. If Bitcoin holds support in September, we could see a big push into new highs later this year.

Bankless – Is Ethereum Ready for Real World Assets? (03.09.2025 Summary)

The Bankless podcast hosted a debate between two professors, Austin Campbell and Omid Malekan, about whether Ethereum can truly support real world assets (RWAs) like stablecoins, tokenized bonds, and equities.

Key Points from the Debate:

• Austin’s view: Ethereum isn’t well suited for RWAs because blockchains can’t always align with messy real world laws. If something like Tether’s contract got hacked, governments would step in regardless of what the chain says. He argues RWAs need systems that can respond to legal realities, even if that means less decentralization.

• Omid’s view: Ethereum’s neutrality is exactly what makes it valuable. Attempts to add rollback controls or special permissions just recreate traditional finance. RWAs will thrive most on blockchains that guarantee neutrality and predictability, even if hacks or mistakes happen.

• The tension: Decentralization is a “feature” for crypto-native assets like ETH or Bitcoin, but can feel like a “bug” when applied to real world assets that answer to governments.

• Shared ground: Both agree trillions in RWAs will move on-chain eventually. The open question is whether neutrality or legal responsiveness will win as the dominant model.

Bottom line: Ethereum’s path to RWAs isn’t settled. Some believe decentralization will attract global trust, while others think legal systems will force compromises. Either way, experiments are unfolding now.
