Fed Chair Warsh's 'we have work to do' on inflation statement at Jackson Hole was the clearest hawkish signal markets have received since his appointment, pushing traders to raise September rate hike bets and triggering a synchronized pullback across Bitcoin and gold. Near-term risk is higher today than it was yesterday.

Bitcoin fell 3.54% to $77,736 after Fed Chair Warsh's Jackson Hole keynote leaned hawkish, with traders raising bets on a September rate hike following his 'we have work to do' comment on inflation.
BTC briefly hit $81,455 overnight, its highest since May 15, before the Warsh speech reversed gains, confirming the $80,000 zone as a meaningful resistance area.
Gold declined alongside Bitcoin on the same Fed catalyst, reinforcing that today's move is a macro-driven repricing rather than a Bitcoin-specific event.

How Bitcoin fits into the macro picture

Fed Chair Warsh's Jackson Hole keynote delivered a hawkish surprise, with traders raising September rate hike bets after his 'we have work to do' declaration on inflation. The DXY gained 0.52% on the day, applying additional pressure on dollar-denominated risk assets. Bitcoin's 90-day correlation to the S&P 500 is 0.26, meaning macro shocks still transmit to BTC even in a partial decoupling regime. The next three weeks, bracketed by the September 4 jobs report, September 10 CPI release, and September 16 FOMC decision, will determine whether today's pullback is a brief macro pause or the start of a more sustained rate-driven compression.

BTC's 90-day correlation to gold is 0.52 and to the S&P 500 is 0.26; today both gold and Bitcoin fell roughly in tandem on the Warsh catalyst, consistent with a macro risk-off repricing rather than Bitcoin-specific selling.
