Dovish language on interest rates could accelerate Bitcoin toward $82K-$85K as capital rotates into risk assets. Hawkish signals would reverse the rally and reinvigorate Treasury demand, potentially creating a ceiling near $80K.
Bitcoin is hitting $80K just days before Jackson Hole. If Warsh signals rate cuts or patience, institutional buyers could interpret it as a 'green light' to increase crypto allocations. The opposite could trigger profit-taking from recent gains.
