    Whales Defended Bitcoin’s $58K-$63K Zone, Says Jamie Coutts

    Analyst Jamie Coutts said the $58,000 to $63,000 range was “viciously defended” by large holders, pointing to unusually high volume on both centralized exchange charts and onchain spot data at that level. He called it Bitcoin’s current line in the sand, warning a break below would be damaging given how much capital rotated in there. Coutts also flagged Bitcoin’s relative strength against gold and tech stocks, its two closest competitors as debasement and growth plays, pointing a bullish setup on weekly charts. He said smart money has been building Bitcoin positions over the past quarter, visible in recent 13F filings, while ETF inflows are now tracking at roughly 300% of new supply.

    VerifiedX Raises $15 Million To Build Out Institutional Bitcoin Infrastructure

    VerifiedX’s Foundation has kicked off a $15 million funding round, with initial institutional investors already on board, to expand institutional access to Bitcoin. Cantor Fitzgerald is handling the investment banking side, though the Foundation hasn’t disclosed who’s backing the round or on what terms. VerifiedX Foundation member Brian May said most current ways to earn yield on Bitcoin require swapping it for someone else’s IOU, which he said explains why under 1% of institutional Bitcoin holdings currently earn any return. Deposits and withdrawals are authorized through threshold signatures spread across VerifiedX validators, with holders able to redeem to native Bitcoin at any time or run their own validators for added control.

    What To Expect From Apple Event ?

    Apple’s September 9 event is expected to bring one of the company’s biggest product announcements in years, with the first foldable iPhone potentially taking center stage. The rumored iPhone Fold or iPhone Duo is expected to feature a book-style design that opens into a larger inner display. Reports suggest the device could carry a price tag of around $2,000 to $2,299, positioning it firmly in the ultra-premium smartphone market. Apple could also reportedly use Touch ID to help keep the foldable’s design thinner. Alongside the foldable iPhone, Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, potentially featuring the A20 Pro chip, larger battery and upgraded cameras. New Apple Watch models and updated AirPods are also expected to be announced.

    Arthur Hayes Says Bitcoin Price Needs $100K Before Real Rally Begins

    Crypto investor Arthur Hayes said Bitcoin’s price action going forward is likely to move in fits and starts rather than a smooth, explosive rally, arguing that investors remain psychologically scarred after Bitcoin underperformed AI stocks over the past few years. Hayes said the market needs Bitcoin to convincingly clear $100,000 and $125,000 before investors fully commit to it as their preferred bet against renewed money printing aimed at propping up the AI sector. Hayes pointed to Bitcoin’s roughly 30% move as an example of that pattern already playing out, suggesting the market may now digest those gains for a while and potentially retest the $70,000 level before its next leg higher.

    CLARITY Act “Does Not Look Good” Republicans Warn One Week Out

    With the CLARITY Act’s cloture vote just a week away on September 15, Senate Republicans are warning the crypto market structure bill “does not look good” heading into next week. The concerns center on an unresolved ethics response from the White House and continued pushback from Senate Democrats. Even if the bill clears the Senate but stalls before reaching the House, industry watchers say that alone would count as a major win, since Senate passage is historically the hardest hurdle. The House already passed a similar version last year, meaning it would only need to review Senate updates before sending the bill to President Trump.

    Coinbase’s XRP balance appeared to surge 4,870% to more than 5.5 billion XRP within an hour, sparking speculation that the exchange had received billions of dollars in new tokens. XRPScan later clarified that no new transfer occurred. The increase resulted from a wallet identification update that added 146 previously unlabeled Coinbase wallets to the exchange’s reported balance. Coinbase now ranks third on the XRP rich list with about 5.68 billion XRP. The update shows the apparent surge reflected wallet labeling rather than a fresh XRP purchase.

    Bitcoin Price Holds Below $79K As Treasury Preps Bigger Bond Buyback

    Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is set to announce a larger bond buyback operation, with Wall Street expecting a $5-6 billion move focused on long-term bonds. A bigger buyback could reduce the supply of net long-dated debt and help contain elevated yields, with the announcement timed ahead of upcoming 10 and 30-year Treasury auctions. Bitcoin is consolidating just below $79,000, with the daily RSI moving away from overbought territory. Despite the pause, weekly chart momentum remains bullish, with continued ETF inflows and treasury company buying. Bitcoin treasury firm Strive purchased another 1,375 BTC, while Tom Lee’s Bitmine added to its Ethereum holdings, now near 5% of total ETH supply at 20,086 ETH.

    Pi Network’s Protocol 27 upgrade is set to launch September 15, just seven days out. Described as the final upgrade in the network’s current development line, Protocol v27 brings enhanced smart contract authentication, giving accounts and applications more sophisticated transaction authorization while expanding the network’s smart contract capabilities. Node operators must upgrade to version 27.1 before the deadline to stay connected to Mainnet, though users and miners don’t need to take any action. The upgrade is also expected to support new DEX and AMM liquidity features as the ecosystem develops. PI is currently holding above $0.095, with traders watching for a break above $0.10.

    Intel Stock Price Jumps 8% On PC Chip Price Hike Plans

    Intel shares climbed 8% after the company said it would raise PC processor prices by about 10% starting in early October, choosing to protect margins rather than chase market share on volume. The rally got extra support from two other developments. Intel hit a milestone of 1 million wafers processed using ASML’s next-generation High-NA EUV machines, and analyst firm Northland bumped the stock up to an “Outperform” rating. Intel is also in the middle of raising $20 billion in fresh equity at $95 a share to help pay for its AI chip and foundry expansion plans. The stock has now more than doubled and a half this year, up over 160%, making it one of Wall Street’s standout comeback stories.

    XRP Price Today Turns Bullish, Climbs 4%

    XRP is trading at $1.43, up 3.8% on the day and 4.2% over the week, as traders spot bullish chart patterns near important support levels. Analyst Ali Charts flagged a descending triangle forming on the hourly chart, watching for a close above $1.40 to confirm a breakout toward $1.46. Trader Bird described XRP as sitting inside a bull flag, with a break above $1.48 potentially triggering a move higher. Some traders are hopeful this could be the start of a bigger move, especially with Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse continuing to push for the CLARITY Act, which could bring more regulatory clarity to crypto. The gains come even as the wider stock market struggles, with $350 billion wiped off US stocks today as oil prices hit a three-month high.

    Bitcoin Price Today – September 8th

    Bitcoin price fell 1.55% to $78,564.71 in 24 hours, slipping below $79,000 as strong U.S. jobs data and higher Treasury yields increased pressure on risk assets. Short-term whales are holding about $9.07 billion in unrealized profits, while leveraged long liquidations added to selling pressure. Bitcoin was also rejected near the $80,500 resistance level. The $78,000 support remains key. A break below it could push BTC toward $77,200, while holding the level may support consolidation. Traders are watching the August CPI report on September 11 for the next major catalyst.

    Copper Prices Today Hit Record High Above $14,500 A Ton

    Copper just notched its highest price ever, breaking past $14,530 a ton on the London Metal Exchange. The metal has now climbed over 16% since January and nearly 47% across the last twelve months. Behind the spike there are worries that Trump could widen tariffs on refined copper coming into the US, plus a wave of shipments flooding American ports that’s left other regions running short on supply. But the tariff fear is only part of the picture. Mining output has been shrinking for decades, global production now sits around 8.7 million tonnes, a fraction of what it was in the 1990s, and new mines take years to bring online even when discovered. Add rising demand from data centers, EVs, renewable energy and electrical grids, and the supply-demand math gets tighter by the month.

Stocks ended last week lower after a stronger-than-expected August jobs report reshaped Fed rate expectations. Payrolls rose 162,000, well above forecasts, while unemployment held at 4.1%, pushing the odds of a 25-basis-point hike at the September 16 meeting to roughly 58-59%. This week’s focus shifts to inflation data, with Producer Price Index numbers due Thursday and Consumer Price Index data Friday, both key inputs for the Fed’s decision.

    SpaceX Stock Price Falls From IPO High, $300 Target Set

    SpaceX (SPCX) shares have fallen 32.6% since their June 12 IPO debut, dropping from a high of $225.64 to $142.23 as of September 1. Despite the slide, Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas maintains an Overweight rating with a $300 price target, implying 111% upside. Jonas’ bullish case centers on SpaceX’s planned $100 billion Starbase complex in Louisiana, set to break ground in 2027 with launches targeted for 2029. The facility would eventually house 10 launch pads across five complexes, supporting SpaceX’s goal of scaling Starship to nearly 5,800 annual launches by 2040, roughly 16 a day, while cutting launch costs tenfold versus Falcon 9.

    Bitcoin surged above $82,000 for the first time since May 11, up 4.0% to $81,209.47, as $510 million in shorts were liquidated within 24 hours. Ethereum climbed 4.2% to $2,518.82, XRP gained 5.7% to $1.45, and BNB rose 4.3% to $727.73. The rally is part of a broader market surge that added over $1.45 trillion across global markets today.

Falling Treasury yields and dropping rate-hike expectations are fueling the risk-on move. Three factors are driving crypto specifically: the US Treasury’s plan to double long-end bond buybacks, boosting market liquidity; a wave of short liquidations forcing sudden buying pressure; and continued institutional accumulation, including large corporate Bitcoin purchases from firms like MicroStrategy.
