Sunday 30 August 2026 | 13:15 UTC | London Session
BTC printed a sharp intraday rejection, shedding roughly 3% to retest the $78,000 handle after Fed Chair Warsh's hawkish Jackson Hole posture deflated the debasement/digital-gold narrative that had been underpinning the recent leg higher. The $78,600 level now acts as near-term resistance, with spot consolidating in a tight $77,800–$79,200 band through the morning. ETH held relative strength at $2,462, while SOL and XRP tracked BTC lower but showed shallow retracements, suggesting altcoin bid is not fully capitulating. Volume profiles across the session have been muted — consistent with Sunday liquidity — which amplifies the significance of any directional break into the NY open.
