We cut through the crypto noise to explain Bitcoin’s fight at $120K amid a hotter PPI, fading September rate-cut hopes, and why Jackson Hole on Friday, August 22 matters. We map Ethereum’s key $4,000-4,100 zone with two scenarios (relief if it holds and Powell hints at cuts; risk if it loses $4K), the knock-on for altcoins (10-30% downside), HYPE’s relative strength, seasonality, and the potential sentiment swing from a Trump-Putin meeting. Plus the headlines and takes shaping the road ahead: Sherplink’s accounting-driven loss, Hong Kong’s tighter custody rules, BitDigital’s pivot and profit, SEC’s Solana ETF delay, Benjamin Cowan on PPI vs CPI and cuts, and Coin Bureau’s read on a pro-crypto White House plan—pointing to near-term caution but growing long-term tailwinds.
