Good morning, Asia. Here’s what makes news in the markets:
Welcome to Asia Morning Briefing, a daily overview of top stories during the US HOURS and an overview of market movements and analysis. For a detailed overview of US markets, see Coindesk’s Crypto Doybook Americas.
BTC is attached near $ 111,000 with volatility compressed to the low -month low -month, the kind of tranquility that tends to precede crucial movements. Dealers know what could break the violence: September’s US Inflation Data and Fed’s rate of rate a week later.
Prediction markets are strongly leaning towards ease. The PolyMarket-Bettors assigns an 82% chance of a 25-base point cut on September 17, leaving only slim odds of a deeper trait or no change. In addition, expectations for October are broken with almost even probabilities of another cut or a break. This divergence explains why volatility, even if it is absent now, is unlikely to remain that way.
“Markets often look quiet just before they move. Bitcoin deals with one of its tightest intervals for months, and volatility across crypto is compressed to multi-month low,” said Gracie Lin, Okx Singapore CEO. “With US inflation data such as Core CPI out on September 11 and Fed’s long-standing interest rate decision right ahead, this quiet period sets the scene for the next crucial feature. Whether the catalyst is an upside-inflation, or a dovan signal from bold, what is clear is that the absence of volatility is rarely permanent in digital assets, or history shows that the marker will find its next direction.”
If a cut withdraws the money market is returning lower, says the opportunity costs of sitting in cash climbs, which is the swivel market manufacturer Enflux that could send currents against crypto.
“The real debate now is not if cuts come, but whether the liquidity installation switches to BTC, ETH and even more risky assets,” the company Coindesk said.
In other words, Fed’s cut may seize headlines, but the real trade is whether sidelined cash rotates to digital assets – a shift that can burn the return of volatility.
