US Iran Talks Send Oil Prices Sharply Lower: Brent and Crude Oil Analysis
The United States and Iran talks have sent oil prices sharply lower, creating one of the most significant price moves of the year. As of August 2, 2026, Brent crude fell to 83.81 dollars per barrel, a decline of 4.69 percent from the previous close. Over the past month, Brent has risen by 16.23 percent, and it remains up by 21.88 percent year on year. The daily drop looks sharp, but the yearly trend has been strongly higher due to the Middle East conflict and the closure of the Stra

For a large firm focused on derivatives, this volume isn’t that much; but in the prediction market niche, it can rank in the top three based on this alone—this in itself is worth mentioning

#FedHoldsRatesSteady
Federal Reserve Holds Rates Steady as Rare 9–3 Vote Signals Growing Policy Divide
The Federal Reserve kept its benchmark interest rate unchanged at 3.50%–3.75% during the July 29, 2026 FOMC meeting. While the decision itself was broadly expected, the voting breakdown attracted significant market attention.
A 9–3 vote marked the first time since 2016 that three FOMC members dissented in favor of the same policy action, highlighting increasing debate over the path of U.S. monetary policy.

#SituationalAwarenessPlunges67%InJuly : How a $45 Billion AI Hedge Fund Lost 67% in One Month
In what will undoubtedly be remembered as one of the most dramatic hedge fund implosions in recent memory, Leopold Aschenbrenner's Situational Awareness fund suffered a catastrophic 67% decline in July 2026. The fund, which had grown to manage approximately $45 billion at the start of the month, saw its assets evaporate to roughly $10 billion. What makes this story particularly remarkable is not just the scale of the losses, but the speed at which they occurred, wiping out two-thirds of the fund's val

USDC issuer Circle’s USDC Treasury has added the minting of 250 million USDC on the Solana blockchain.

BTC core logic remains unchanged. On the daily chart, the key support is 61,500. As long as the price does not effectively break down below this level, there is still an opportunity for a rebound and upside move. If the daily chart loses 61,500, the price will further dip below 60,000.
In August, the overall macro news flow is relatively quiet. Market conditions will most likely continue the rhythm of July—trading is expected to be choppy with a downward bias. In the absence of an environment for extreme big moves, intraday short-term trades have higher room for error.
For BTC intraday, focus

Negotiations resume, and falling oil prices ease pressure on the global economy
Talks between the US and Iran have driven a clear drop in international oil prices, meaning the market is beginning to reassess the future global energy supply landscape. Previously, due to heightened tensions in the Middle East, the market once worried that global crude oil supply could be affected, pushing oil prices steadily higher. The news of the talks eased those concerns and also helped global financial markets regain some confidence.
From an economic perspective, lower energy prices have a positive effect
