1. Crypto & Finance — Close of Day Report
Altcoin Momentum, ETH ETF Flows, BTC Support, Wall Street Records, and Gold's Safe-Haven Bid
Prepared: August 30, 2025
Market Snapshot
Crypto: BTC near 110,800 USD after a pullback from mid-month highs; ETH shows large ETF-driven inflows, and altcoins are gaining breadth as BTC dominance slips
below 60 percent. Equities: S&P; 500 hit record levels this week (6,501.86) before modest profit-taking. Commodities: Gold trades near 3,410 USD per ounce as a
hedge amid macro uncertainty.
Bitcoin — Short-term Price Trend & Key Levels
Key near-term support: 108,000 USD – 110,000 USD. A decisive break below this range may accelerate a retracement. Traders should watch macro windows (PCE,
payrolls) for volatility spikes.
Ethereum & ETF Flows — Institutional Rotation
Large ETF inflows into ETH recently suggest institutions are diversifying into Ethereum and related ecosystems. This rotation often supports broader altcoin strength.
Watch daily ETF prints and on-chain metrics for confirmation.

2. Altcoins — Rotation & Risk Management
With BTC dominance easing, capital is rotating into altcoins—particularly exchange tokens, Layer-2 projects, and AI-related tokens. Confirm rallies with volume,
exchange flow, and order-book depth.
Wall Street — Records & Macro Context
S&P; 500 reached 6,501.86 earlier this week, supported by positive GDP revisions and strong earnings in AI-related firms. The PCE inflation report is the next major
macro event that could shift expectations on rate cuts.
Gold — Safe-Haven Dynamics

3. Gold trading near 3,410 USD per ounce reflects hedging demand. If gold breaks higher toward 3,500 USD, expect stronger risk-off impulses that could pressure
high-beta crypto assets.
Key Considerations Before You Trade
1) Macro calendar: PCE, payrolls, and Fed commentary can move all risk assets. 2) Liquidity: Thin order books raise slippage risk. 3) Sizing: Keep single-trade risk
modest (2–5 percent). 4) Exit plan: Predefine stop-loss and take-profit. 5) Security hygiene: Hardware wallets, unique passwords, app-based 2FA.
Common Pitfalls to Avoid
Chasing pumps without a plan. Ignoring fees and slippage. Increasing leverage after wins. Security complacency. Trusting unvetted recovery offers.
Practical Strategies — Portfolio & Risk
Core-satellite allocation: Core BTC/ETH exposure, satellite high-conviction themes. Ladder entries and exits (3–5 tranches). Use stop-loss orders and options hedges
where appropriate. Tax-aware rebalancing and loss harvesting when suitable.
If You Made a Bad Investment — Triage Checklist
1) Stop adding. 2) Re-assess the thesis. 3) Quantify loss and recovery options. 4) Decide to cut, reduce, or hold and document the choice. 5) Enforce cool-off periods
after losses.
If You Were Hacked or Scammed — Immediate Actions
Revoke token approvals, move remaining funds to a fresh hardware wallet. Document TX hashes, wallet addresses, chat logs, and screenshots. Notify exchanges
and local cybercrime authorities. Use reputable tracing services; avoid 'pay-to-recover' impostors. Consider professional recovery support.
