As Bitcoin (BTC) recently rebounded to around $85,000, holders have started taking profits, but the volume of realized profits is significantly lower than during previous market peaks. Data shows BTC holders have accumulated roughly $2.4 billion in realized profits recently, while daily realized profits typically hit $7 billion to $10 billion during past market peaks. BTC has risen approximately 44% so far this quarter, hitting a peak near $85,000, marking its best quarterly performance since Q4 2024, after three consecutive quarters of declines. Meanwhile, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs have seen a combined net inflow of around $2.84 billion over the past six trading days, exceeding BTC holders' realized profits in the same period; year-to-date, the ETFs' cumulative net inflow has also turned positive at roughly $800 million. Ethereum (ETH) has also shown signs of capital outflow from exchanges: around 410,000 ETH has been moved out of trading platforms over the past month, while U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs have attracted a combined $680 million in net inflows over the past four trading days. Following the $452 million Bitget hack, BTC, ETH and other major crypto assets have not shown significant signs of weakening so far. Meanwhile, U.S. Treasury yields and the U.S. Dollar Index have temporarily slowed their rally, but crude oil markets remain highly volatile due to news related to U.S.-Iran tensions.

Barclays has warned that rising bond yields are eroding stocks' relative attractiveness, with the extra yield stocks offer over bonds now near multi-decade lows, putting the U.S. stock market close to a "tipping point". The bank noted that while corporate earnings remain resilient and AI-driven growth continues to provide support, oil prices breaking the $100 per barrel mark and major global central banks re-tightening monetary policy are elevating market risks. Barclays still maintains an "overweight" rating on stocks, but expects market volatility to persist ahead of the third-quarter earnings season, as investors will focus on assessing how high bond yields the stock market can withstand.

According to the latest average polling data from NBC News, in a survey on preferences for control of Congress in the 2026 midterm elections, the Democratic Party leads the Republican Party by 9 percentage points, at 52% to 43% — the largest lead recorded in this polling cycle. NBC News stated that the two parties were roughly even in the first weeks following Trump’s return to the White House, but since then, independent voters’ preference for a Democratic-controlled Congress has gradually risen, while support for President Trump and his economic policies has declined. The polling average is adjusted using the "likely voter" metric, measuring which party voters favor to control Congress, and does not yet factor in specific districts or individual candidates. NBC News explained that the average aggregates public polls that meet methodological and transparency standards, applying weighting to mitigate the impact of fluctuations and outliers from individual surveys. Meanwhile, NBC News noted that Trump’s current approval rating has fallen to its lowest level since his second presidential term.
