Bitcoin bias flipped 16 times to neutral on August 28, 2026
Bitcoin’s price swings are being driven by shifting expectations around Federal Reserve rate policy, with headlines noting both a sharp rally past $80K as leveraged shorts were squeezed and a subsequent $3K dump as liquidations accelerated on rate-hike fears. At the same time, institutional adoption continues with developments like BitGo’s acquisition of NYDIG’s trading business and strong inflows into a Bitwise Solana ETF, though regulatory and political scrutiny remains in the background.
