U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that the U.S. dollar remains on one side of 89.2% of global foreign exchange transactions, foreign investors continue to hold large amounts of U.S. assets, and major stablecoins are also denominated in U.S. dollars—relevant data does not support the claim that capital is fleeing the U.S. Bessent said the U.S. Treasury’s repurchase of Treasury bonds aims to increase market liquidity and manage the debt maturity structure, not to control the $30+ trillion U.S. Treasury market. If investors were truly unwilling to buy U.S. Treasuries, actual bid data would reflect that, but demand for U.S. assets from foreign funds remains strong. Norway is merely shifting some of its U.S. Treasury allocations to agency debt, and its holdings still fall under U.S. assets; the Netherlands repatriating gold from North American regions including New York and Ottawa reflects its preference for domestic asset custody. The Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta projects the U.S. real GDP annualized growth rate for the third quarter to be 5.1%. The latest data also shows continued employment growth, sustained expansion in corporate investment and capital expenditure, with equipment investment in the second quarter of 2026 rising nearly 20% compared to the end of the Biden administration. Bessent criticized The New York Times for selectively ignoring data that contradicts its narrative, adding that complex financial realities should not be oversimplified to serve pre-established positions.

Renowned trader Killa said the "everything is priced in" chart tracks major catalysts across Bitcoin’s cycles and their post-event price behavior. He noted that during bear markets, negative news typically pushes BTC lower, leading traders to develop an inertia of shorting on any bearish headlines. But once high-timeframe trends shift, the same news may only spark temporary panic, after which Bitcoin absorbs selling pressure and resumes its rally. Recent market events include the Federal Reserve’s interest rate hike, expectations around the CLARITY Act vote, and the bill’s failure to advance. Markets initially viewed these as reasons for Bitcoin to drop further, but BTC only briefly broke below its range low before bouncing back quickly, showing strong resilience. Even as narratives of a "third world war" gained traction, Bitcoin began reacting relatively positively to panic-inducing factors. Killa highlighted this performance as a key distinction between bull and bear markets: in bear markets, bad news drives prices down, while in bull markets, negative headlines may trigger trader capitulation, after which prices continue rising. He added that the key catalyst that confirmed the last cycle’s uptrend was the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs, and this cycle’s equivalent catalyst could be the CLARITY Act. Bitcoin’s recent ability to digest multiple bearish factors is a key basis for his judgment that the trend has shifted.

Strategy founder Michael Saylor has once again shared updates on the company’s Bitcoin tracker, stating, “A little more orange.” Following past patterns, the orange dots denote Strategy’s Bitcoin purchase records, so this move likely signals the firm will add to its BTC holdings. Strategy typically discloses changes in its Bitcoin holdings the day after such announcements.

Prominent crypto trader Doctor Profit said Bitcoin has broken above its 50-week moving average (MA50), which currently sits at around $78,700. If Bitcoin closes above this level for the week, he will view it as confirmation that a new bull market has begun. Current price action mirrors the pattern seen between 2022 and 2023: Bitcoin reclaimed the MA50 after weeks of resistance and a "bear trap". He noted that historically, Bitcoin has fallen below and then reclaimed the MA50 seven times; five of those instances preceded bull markets, while the other two resulted in false breakouts in 2011 and 2020 respectively. He added that Bitcoin is currently trading in the $71,000 to $82,000 range, and a breakout above the $82,500 to $83,000 zone would provide stronger confirmation. A return above the MA50 suggests such a breakout could occur in the coming days. His personal trading strategy remains unchanged: he will continue holding spot Bitcoin, with a target of $88,000 once remaining resistance is broken.
