Good morning, Asia. Here’s what makes news in the markets:
Welcome to the Asia Morning Briefing, a sunny summary of the leading stories of US time and a general measures of movements and market reviews. For a detailed overall -analysis of US markets, see The Americans.
Bitcoin traded just below $ 110,000 after another failed bounce, down almost 7% since the explosion of more than $ 117,000 at the end of Powell’s Dovish Jackson Hole Speech, According to CoinDesk market data. Ethereum, which briefly touched $ 4,900 before a sharp return, holds above $ 4,300 but shows signs of fatigue after weeks of caution.
The Bull Run is FRAYING, says observers in the market, as thinning of liquidity, ETF flowers, and fragile onchain activity Respond to whales that rotate in ETH and the retail lasts. But under the surface, the billion-dollar sovereignty and institutional allocations are quietly measured by volatility, creating a sharp variation between the weak short-term beliefs and programmatic long-horizon purchases.
Glassnode’s Latest market pulse Showing the spin from the euphoria to the breakdown: spot momentum that faded to oversold territory, the ETF flowed to a $ 1 billion flow, and realized the revenues that collapsed back to Breakeven.

The result is a variety: the retail action continues to flush, while long-horizon allocators are quietly accumulated.
But with transaction fees that have collapsed back in decades lows and cleaning blocks with minimal congestion, liquidity in the bitcoin blockchain itself looks thin. That’s a trouble for miners Divided rewards have been aroused, and it has left the market broader bracing for integration -together, or deeper drawdowns in September, history of Bitcoin’s weakest month.
