Why Warsh’s First Jackson Hole Speech Could Decide the Next Bitcoin Move

In Bitcoin news today, BTC has climbed from roughly $64,000 to $80,000 in a single week, and the next major catalyst arrives today (August 28) at 10 a.m. ET, when Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh delivers his first Jackson Hole keynote.

It is his first major set-piece speech since taking office in May, and the address is being closely watched as a key test for a rally that has already run hard.

Here is the tension the market is pricing right now: will Warsh leave the door open to Federal Reserve support for the Treasury's expanded bond-buyback program, or will he draw a hard line around Fed independence?

For traders still deciding how to size positions ahead of the event, this breakdown of bitcoin's path to $80,000 lays out the scenarios leading up to the speech.
