Odaily Planet Daily reports that Matrixport released today's chart, stating that over the past few weeks, we have repeatedly warned in our "Matrix on Target" and daily updates that Bitcoin was approaching the key technical support level of $112,000. Now that this support has been broken, market sentiment is shifting. While many bullish views remain, our previous cautious stance has gradually been validated. This decline was driven by a continuation of the seasonal weakness typically seen in August, as well as macroeconomic uncertainty stemming from downward revisions to labor market data. A similar situation occurred last year, when the Federal Reserve unexpectedly cut interest rates by 50 basis points due to market pressure. Given that the market has taken two interest rate cuts into consideration, with the first cut expected as early as September, we still maintain our previous expectations: risk assets may continue to perform weakly until economic and market fundamentals improve.

Odaily Planet Daily reported that on August 1st, Hong Kong's Stablecoin Ordinance officially came into effect, establishing a licensing system for stablecoin issuers and improving Hong Kong's regulatory framework for virtual asset activities. Yang Debin, President of the Greater Bay Area International Information Technology Association, stated that the development of stablecoins has now reached a considerable scale internationally. The introduction of the Stablecoin Ordinance at this juncture in Hong Kong reflects its regulatory advancement. In line with international standards, Hong Kong, China, also strives to align its regulations on stablecoins with those of other countries and regions around the world. Under the Hong Kong Stablecoin Ordinance, licensees must ensure that the market value of the reserve assets of designated stablecoins they issue is always no less than the face value of the unredeemed and circulating stablecoins. Licensees should consider the risk profile of their reserve assets and ensure appropriate overcollateralization to cover market risks. (21 Finance)

Ipek Ozkardeskaya, senior analyst at Swissquote Bank, said that if US non-farm payrolls fall below 50,000 for six consecutive months, it would be considered a recession signal. Therefore, the US may already be halfway there. The good news is that recession fears have reinforced expectations of a Federal Reserve rate cut; the bad news is that a weak economy was not part of Trump's promise. A rate cut won't magically save the market, and blaming the Bureau of Labor Statistics for the consequences of the government's chaotic policies could undermine the credibility of US economic data.
