Bitcoin Breaks Back Above $80K: Crypto Stocks Regain Their High-Beta Edge
A weaker dollar, renewed ETF inflows and improving U.S. regulatory expectations have pushed Bitcoin back toward $80,000. The next test is whether real spot demand can sustain the rally after the initial burst of enthusiasm. Bitcoin briefly traded above $80,000, reaching an intraday high of $81,237—its highest level since mid-May. BTC has gained roughly 28% in August, putting it on track for its strongest monthly performance since November 2024. It has since pulled back toward $78,000, showing that the $80,000–$81,200 zone remains a meaningful resistance area. What is driving the rally? 1. The “debasement trade” is back The U.S. Treasury’s expanded purchases of longer-dated government bonds have helped ease bond yields, but they have also added pressure to the dollar.

NVIDIA + WARSH: THE WEEK THAT COULD MOVE WALL STREET
The market is no longer watching the data. It’s watching what the Fed does with it. After several weeks of relatively quiet gains, the market is finally showing signs of fatigue. Monday told the story: Dow: +0.26%. $S&P 500(.SPX)$ : -0.28%. $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ -0.76% And the bigger warning? Technology has now fallen for 7 consecutive sessions. $Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund(XLK)$ So what is really happening? THE REAL PROBLEM ISN’T THE ECONOMY For weeks, bad economic news was actually good news for stocks. Weak jobs, less pressure on the Fed. Softer CPI, less inflation pressure. Softer PPI, even less pressure. Stocks, higher. But that relationship is startin
I’m broadly aligned with Wall Street’s bullish AI view, but I don’t think every upgrade means it’s time to chase. I’m watching $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ , $Broadcom(AVGO)$ , $Micron Technology(MU)$ and $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ most closely, with earnings growth and cash flow being the key factors. I’m particularly interested in Micron Technology because AI demand is increasingly a memory and HBM story, not just a GPU story. Broadcom(AVGO) also looks attractive with its custom AI accelerators and networking exposure. Overall, I think the AI cycle is spreading across chips, memory, networking and cloud infrastructure.

Why Salesforce Must Prove Agentforce Is Accelerating Organic Growth
$Salesforce.com(CRM)$ reports fiscal-second-quarter results after the August 26 market close. Agentforce usage is expanding rapidly, but the central investment question is whether that activity is generating new, high-margin revenue or simply being bundled into contracts that customers would have purchased anyway. For the fiscal first quarter ended April 30 and reported May 27, revenue increased 13% to $11.13 billion. Subscription and support revenue rose 14% to $10.59 billion, while current remaining performance obligations increased 14% to $33.6 billion. However, the acquired Informatica business contributed $444 million of revenue, making the underlying growth rate less impressive than the headline figure. Salesforce’s
Why HP’s AI-PC Growth Must Outrun Memory Inflation
$HP Inc(HPQ)$ reports fiscal-third-quarter results after the August 26 close.

The quality of that growth was mixed. Personal Systems unit volume fell 7%, indicating that pricing and
