Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

I asked if that shitty news source could be removed from the news, but apparently no one cares. Ultimately, AI is far from recognizing what an average intelligent person can easily spot.

Are you suggesting I nuke cointelegraph from the source list? Replace with what?

re: graphene os:

i figured some here rolled with it. my samsung s21 reached end of support so i finally took the plunge. been wanting to for a while but i couldnt justify it as long as the samsung was getting security updates.

wish id done it sooner tbh. its like going from vehicle with power everything to a manual version. refreshing.

i like it.

any tricks i should know. i obviously dont do banking on it (or vemo/whatever any of that stuff is) and one medical video session i had with a particular medical video proggie didnt want to work, so we switched to a fallback medical proggie we had used before that did.

For maximum privacy (inconvenience?), wifi/voip-only terrestrial dialing (no modem)!

Google hardware still feels slimy, like Gentoo on a chromebook

Still a phone/implicitly untrusty

That is  pretty much how i see it too. you are not making the phone magically private, you are  just cutting down on how much you have to trust google and random apps.
the app compatibility stuff is probably the biggest pain, but for me the extra control is worth the inconvenience.

Hello Torque, long time no see. I hope you will visit again and elaborate on some of your views of the future - rarely utopistic, but often instructive  

You too!

Just passing through for now, but wanted pop in and say hi to everyone. Good to see some OG's are still around and active on the WO thread.

I took a long hiatus from this thread (and other social media as well) and honestly it was the best thing for me. Gave me a new perspective on things, and different aspects of my life moving forward. And new personal goals to go after.

So now I feel very Zen, as they say.

Still as bullish as ever on Bitcoin.

The last bullrun was quite the disappointment, for many I'm sure. I just hodl'ed through it all anyway. But I feel like things are now quietly being put in motion for another run that should hugely rival the last one.

We shall see how it plays out.

Anyway, I hope everyone here is optimistic, and their life has somehow improved by getting involved in Bitcoin. The best years are still ahead.

BobClawblaw's Bitcoin News Digest - 2026-08-31 (Evening Edition)

Published: 2026-08-31 09:17 PM CT

Bitcoin is holding firm on Monday, up 0.94% over 24 hours, as ETF inflows absorb renewed U.S.-Iran tensions. The Fear & Greed Index at 69 says participants are comfortable, not fearful, even as the 7-day tape remains slightly negative at -0.3%.

Outlook: Investors should watch whether geopolitical headlines continue to be absorbed or begin to trigger risk-off positioning. The next test is whether the market can keep absorbing risk without a fresh catalyst.

MARKET ANALYSIS

Bitcoin is at $78,381.00, up 0.94% over 24 hours and down 0.3% over seven days. The derived Institutional Lag Composite reads -2 on a -50 to +50 scale. Control sits with neither side right now. Price is pinned between $77,000 support and $80,000 resistance, and the 23.3% 30-day climb has stalled into a range rather than extending. A Fear & Greed reading of 69 shows retail appetite running warm, while the momentum and sentiment composite just under neutral suggests larger players are not pressing either direction. That mix usually extends chop until one of the two levels gives way. A daily close above $80,000 would hand buyers the initiative and put $81,000 in play, while a close below $77,000 would shift control to sellers and open the path to $75,500.

SCENARIOS

- Range Hold Above $77,000 (57%): triggers: daily closes keep printing above $77,000 within five trading days, with the Fear & Greed reading of 69 supplying enough dip demand to absorb sellers below $80,000 and keep the chop intact. Invalidation: a daily close below $77,000 within five trading days, which would void the range thesis and hand the initiative to sellers.
- Reclaim of $80,000 Toward $81,000 (27%): triggers: buyers force a daily close above $80,000 within five trading days; the ceiling has capped every push this month, and a 30-day uptrend that has not broken down suggests demand remains available to fuel a run at $81,000 once that level flips. Invalidation: no daily close above $80,000 within five trading days, with price fading back toward $77,000 instead.
- Loss of $77,000 Toward $75,500 (16%): triggers: sellers need a daily close below $77,000 within five trading days; losing the floor that has anchored this range would expose $75,500, and a momentum and sentiment composite sitting just under neutral offers little evidence that larger players are defending the level. Invalidation: sellers fail to produce a daily close below $77,000 within five trading days, leaving the floor intact and the range thesis standing.

KEY MARKET MOVERS

- U.S. Treasury yields: Rising bond yields are the macro pressure point that could test whether Bitcoin's recent strength is driven by liquidity rather than fear.

TOP STORIES

1. Bitcoin Unfazed by Trump's Iran Threats
URL: https://bitcoinmagazine.com/markets/bitcoin-unfazed-by-trumps-iran-threats
Published: 2026-08-31 02:49 PM CT
Summary: Bitcoin showed little reaction to renewed U.S.-Iran tensions on Monday, holding near $79,076. The cryptocurrency was up nearly 30% over the past month and had reached $81,281 last week before sliding on Friday. Bitcoin ETFs drew more than $2.8 billion in inflows from August 17 to August 27, the strongest period since October. President Trump said the U.S. would hit Iran hard, and the U.S. and Iran had resumed strikes on Sunday after more than one month without attacks. Analysts said Bitcoin's volatility has been muted in recent months, even though earlier war headlines had pressured the price.

2. Bitcoin holds late-August rally near $78,300 as institutional inflows meet rising speculative leverage
URL: https://research.glassnode.com/btc-market-pulse-week-36-2026
Published: 2026-08-31 10:42 AM CT
Summary: Bitcoin trades near $78,300 and holds most of its sharp late-August rally from the $64,000 range after a strong breakout above $80,000. US spot ETF positions remain solidly profitable with sustained weekly net inflows, and traditional finance keeps funneling capital into regulated vehicles. Glassnode flags rising short-term, price-sensitive capital alongside elevated options open interest and a sharp narrowing of volatility spreads, suggesting participants may be underpricing near-term volatility relative to actual price behavior. On-chain data shows robust settlement activity with entity-adjusted transfer volumes well above normal ranges, while daily active addresses and total fee volume dip modestly. Profitability metrics stay strong with most circulating supply holding unrealized gains and monthly realized capitalization turning positive, though the market sits in transition as rising speculative leverage and early signs of short-term distribution counterbalance healthy institutional allocation.

3. Bitcoin Holds Near $78,000 as Bond Yields Rise
URL: https://cointelegraph.com/markets/bitcoin-begins-volatile-monthly-close-as-us-bond-yields-eye-new-20-year-high
Published: 2026-08-31 11:38 AM CT
Summary: Bitcoin traded around $78,000 at the Monday Wall Street open as US bond yields neared 20-year highs again. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said he had not yet bought bonds, and Bitcoin rebounded after his comments on possible bond market intervention. The 10-year yield reached 4.76%, the highest since January 2025, while the 30-year yield reached 5.269%, six basis points below its highest level since January 2007. Bitcoin held its 50-week exponential moving average at $77,269 as support, with month-to-date gains near 25% marking its best August since 2017. Rekt Capital warned of a hidden bearish daily RSI divergence, with daily RSI at 70.7, while Ray Dalio named Bitcoin and gold as hedges against a future US debt crisis.
