BTC’s Descent: A Tale of Gold, Tariffs, and Market Melodrama 🏦📉

In the shadowed corridors of capital, Bitcoin (BTC) stumbles into September, a month of whispered dread, clutching new lows like a sinner clutching a rosary. The price, once a proud $107,270, now teeters on the edge of despair, while prophets of doom predict further falls. Ah, the grand drama of markets!

Bitcoin, that fickle mistress of fortune, descended to the realm of $107,270 before a feeble rebound, its volatility a drunken waltz in the void. 🕺
The US Labor Day holiday, that sacred pause in the relentless march of capitalism, leaves traders clutching their tea, guessing how tariffs will scorch the markets. 🍵🔥
Gold, that ancient guardian of wealth, now dances higher while Bitcoin, the digital upstart, stumbles in its shadow. Peter Schiff, gold’s bard, sneers: “BTC’s fate is sealed!” 💎💥
Institutional interest, once a roaring lion, now whimpers as August bleeds $750 million from ETFs. The scribes call it a “recessionary dirge.” 🎵📉
September, that cursed month of crypto’s calendar, looms. Will this year defy tradition? Unlikely. History is a tyrant. 📜⏳

Traders Clutch $100k Like a Lifeline

Bitcoin’s week began with a shudder, tumbling to $107,270, confirmed by the watchful eyes of CryptoMoon and TradingView. A feeble rebound to $110k followed, a flicker of hope in a sea of despair. 🌊

Among traders, the air is thick with tension. Some whisper of $100k as a final bastion, others bet on a “squeeze” to crush short sellers. The market, a battlefield of wills. 🛡️

$BTC supports

Above the 92k extreme target, these are the supports I´m seeing for Bitty.

I doubt it will slice through all of these, that would be totally surprising for me and what I´m expecting.

Hope the bulls step up to the plate soon.

CrypNuevo, that oracle of order books, declared: “Short liquidations stack at $112k-$115k.” A prophecy fulfilled as BTC plunged to $107,200. 🌪️

“As price dropped, a lot of long orders would stack at $100k and a wick lower to $94k would make sense to hit their SL & liquidations and to fill the downside small CME gap there.”

CrypNuevo, ever the pragmatist, called the move a “deviation,” eyeing the CME gap at $117k. The $110k zone, a graveyard of hopes, now devours liquidity. 🪦

Tariff Woes and the Fed’s Macroeconomic Masquerade

Labor Day, that American relic, closed markets, leaving traders to ponder tariffs and Trump’s tantrums. A court’s verdict-tariffs nullified-sent crypto into a tailspin, but the markets were already asleep. 🛌

Trump, that clown prince of capitalism, vowed to fight: “Without tariffs, we become a third-world nation!” A line that would make Dickens weep. 📖

Volatility, that old market ghost, stirs. Traders now fixate on unemployment data, the Fed’s next move, and whether September will bring rate cuts. The CME’s FedWatch Tool grins: 90% odds of a 0.25% cut. 🎲

“This will mark the last week of labor market data before the big September Fed meeting.”

Gold’s Triumph, Bitcoin’s Tragedy

While BTC wallows in self-pity, gold ascends to $3,489, a mere inch from its zenith. In April, BTC rallied 6.7% on gold’s back. Now, it’s a one-sided romance. 💔

Gold on a casual Sunday night on a 3-day weekend:

Rate cuts are coming into 3%+ inflation.

Mosaic Asset, that sage of the market, declared: “Upside inflation surprises may frustrate the Fed… but gold’s next uptrend is inevitable.” September, gold’s second-strongest month? A cruel joke for BTC. 🤡

Institutional Buyers: A Retreat

ETFs, once BTC’s saviors, now flee. Farside Investors noted $126.7m outflows on Friday, a dagger to the heart. Charles Edwards, that grumpy quant, bemoaned: “Institutional buying hit April lows!” 🎭

Bitcoin ETFs endured $750 million in withdrawals in August, the second worst month on record.

September: BTC’s Seasonal Curse

September, that crypto omen, begins with BTC’s average -3.5% return. August’s “red” candle, a 6.5% loss, marks a post-halving first. Mark Harvey, that hopeful optimist, claims it’s “not bearish.” A delusion, perhaps. 🧠

“Seasonality is a real thing… it repeats because tax years and school calendars are fixed.”

And so, the saga continues-a tale of greed, fear, and the eternal struggle between gold and the digital phantom. May the bulls rise… or may they perish. 🏁
