Good morning. Jeju is having a very cloudy day today. I hope it cools down a bit more~ Today’s Coin News: Bitcoin’s price dropped as low as $77K but has started recovering again—still, it’s been tough. ⚠️ Today’s Biggest Negative Factor: It’s not crypto itself—it’s U.S. interest rates. U.S. Treasury yields have risen to near their highest level in 19 months, and rising oil prices along with Middle East tensions have reignited inflation concerns. The market is now pricing in approximately a **68% chance of a 0.25% rate hike at the September FOMC**. U.S. equities were also affected, closing on September 1 as follows: Dow -0.79% / S&P 500 -0.71% / Nasdaq -1.03% This clearly adds pressure to risk assets overall. The most important event this week is Friday’s U.S. Employment Report. Market expectations are for non-farm payrolls to rise by approximately +55,000 to +58,000 jobs. The outcome could significantly shift expectations around future rate hikes. 🎯 Today’s Strategy: From my perspective, today is not an aggressive new buying opportunity. If you’re holding BTC, there’s no urgent need to significantly reduce your position as long as it holds above $77K—but if altcoins surge sharply, taking partial profits is reasonable. For new buyers, it seems wiser to wait for either a confirmed breakout above $80K or a pullback to $75–77K with clear support confirmation, rather than chasing the current move. Expressed as today’s scores: Market Direction: 5.5/10 🟡 BTC: 6/10 🟡 ETH: 5.5/10 🟡 Large-Cap Alts: 5/10 🟡 Mid- & Small-Cap Alts: 4/10 🟠 In short: “The market isn’t collapsing, but it’s also not a strong opportunity to aggressively bet right now.” That’s today’s key takeaway.
