Phyrex Ni (@Phyrex_Ni): "After the market opened on September 2, the volatility was quite significant, especially regarding two main concerns in the U.S. stock market. One is Trump's health condition, and the other is the ruling that U.S. tariffs are illegal. Trump's health issue started to gain attention over the weekend, and more and more people are discussing it. Today, Trump spoke out in response to health concerns. Whether there is really a problem, most people probably do not know, as was the case with the previous Biden administration as well. At least today, Trump stepped up, which lessened the voices of doubt. Moreover, Trump's speech was quite fluent, showing no obvious logical errors or stumbling over words. Even his signature expression management was not bad, so after Trump spoke, the U.S. stock market began to see a rebound. Even if it was all an act, Trump was able to pull it off this time and create a rebound."

"The issue of tariffs is indeed more troublesome. When I was writing the weekly report earlier, I focused on tariffs, so I won't elaborate too much during the work. Currently, Trump's team is seeking to appeal to the Supreme Court, and they have given a month of time. If the tariffs really fail, although it may reduce some inflation, it will be a significant blow to Trump's personal credibility and support. For the industries supported by Trump, there will also be a considerable impact. For example, encryption and BTC are likely to suffer from an unwarranted disaster. Now Trump is dragging the U.S. economy to take sides with him. Although it is a bit shameless, it is indeed effective."

Looking at the data of Bitcoin, it is very normal for the turnover rate to rise after the holidays. However, in the afternoon, the price of BTC started to rise. Although there were some fluctuations, the overall trend is good, especially when the US stock market opened and fell for the reasons mentioned above, BTC's trend still remains healthy. Whether it can continue is still to be seen. As for the support, as always mentioned, it is very stable. It is likely that the fluctuations of BTC over the weekend have digested the market's bearish sentiment. In the absence of new clear bearish situations, the pressure on the two support levels is not great. Starting from Wednesday, labor data will gradually appear, and its impact on the market may slowly emerge again.
