Bitcoin was trading at ~$77,000 on 21 August 2026 (Fortune), driven by positive regulatory signals (CLARITY Act, SEC crypto framework). Polymarket prices 'Bitcoin above $80,000 in August 2026' at 85% with high volume; $82,500 still at 35%. The ~3.9% gap to the target is realistic given current momentum. We set 65% β slightly more conservative than the Polymarket anchor (85%) because 'anytime in August' is a broader target than a specific Friday close, and Jackson Hole (Warsh speech, 28 Aug) could introduce volatility.

The S&P 500 closed at 7,636.36 on 9 September 2026. Falling below 7,450 by month-end would require a 2.4% decline. Headwinds: Fed rate hike of 25bp on 16 September (CentralBank.Watch: 59% probability), August PPI above expectations (+5.4% YoY), Iran-Gulf risk premium. Stabilizing factors: hike largely priced in (Polymarket: 93% for zero 2026 cuts), Q2 earnings solid, no recession signals. Historically, a single 25bp September hike rarely causes a monthly decline above 2.5%.
