BTC rejected the $79K handle cleanly during London hours, printing a 3%+ intraday drawdown that brought price back to the $78,086 area where it now consolidates. The catalyst was a hawkish tilt from Fed Chair Warsh at Jackson Hole, which reversed the prior debasement-narrative bid almost immediately. ETH outperformed materially, holding its trending structure and finding support above $2,440 while BTC churned — a divergence worth watching into the NY open. XRP flagged a regime flip on the structure model at current levels near $1.3664, suggesting a directional resolution is imminent.
