Bitcoin Rally Faces Crucial Tests Amid Fed and Crypto Catalysts

Bitcoin's impressive August rally is facing crucial tests this week as key U.S. economic data, including July's Personal Consumption Expenditures inflation and Q2 GDP revisions, could influence Federal Reserve policy expectations.

The Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's keynote at the Jackson Hole symposium may also shift market sentiment on interest rates.

This pivotal week is further complicated by crypto-specific events such as IREN earnings and major token unlocks, which add volatility to Bitcoin's price direction amid mixed macroeconomic signals and corporate catalysts.
