Bournemouth’s decision to resist January offers for Alex Scott is a potential setback for Chelsea. 💙
The Blues remain keen on the midfielder following Enzo Fernández’s departure, but Bournemouth are determined to keep their key players as they push for European football.
With previous Chelsea bids of around £60-64m rejected and Scott now valued at over £100m, a January deal looks increasingly difficult.
This means Chelsea may have to break the bank to get their man or wait until the summer. Either way, the club cannot afford to leave such an important midfield gap unaddressed

In the spirit of Daenerys Targaryen and Khal Drogo, these images capture the raw force of their unlikely bond.
Across the Dothraki sea of grass, under a dragon shadowed sunset, strength and silver hair meet in quiet intensity.
Their locked hands and close gazes echo the series’ central fire: a conqueror’s heart softened by love, and a queen’s destiny ignited by the man who named her Khaleesi.
Even in a distant city of stone, the same tension lingers power, desire, and the promise of dragons still to come.

Live tape.
Fed hiked. Crypto didn’t flinch.
$BTC $80,761. Tagged $77K, ripped through. 76K floor held.
$ETH $2,571. Still working $2,550–$2,600.
$SOL $109.50, holding the $100 reclaim.
$XRP $1.37.
Equities: S&P 7,626. Nasdaq 26,399. Relief, not a breakout.
WTI ~$97 after the slide off $102. Rate path still hawkish. 16 of 18 see another hike.
Honest take: this isn’t a breakout. It’s the market absorbing the hike without panic. BTC holding $80K is strength. Chasing it here is hope. Energy still reads cleaner than the equity bounce.
Not advice. Just the book.
September is already arguing with last month’s tape.
Live book Thursday, Sept 3, ~12:09pm CDT.
BTC spent the overnight in the mid-$77ks. The rip started late morning. By ~11:40am CDT it was through $80.9k. The vertical hour was 1:00–2:00pm CDT: ~$78.8k into $80.5k, then the next hour tagged ~$81.37k. Sitting ~$80.9k as I write this. Same $81k ceiling. Not a new high. A timed retest.
ETH is ~$2,495 after holding $2,370–$2,400 into the squeeze. SOL ripped to ~$104.70. XRP is the cleanest follow at ~$1.46 after digesting $1.35. Not euphoric. Real size, not a wick.
Equities are still digesting Wednesday: S&P ~7,667, Dow ~53,062, Nasdaq ~26,218. Quiet into tomorrow’s jobs print. Energy is the only honest bid. WTI ~$91–$92.
Hormuz is on the same screen escorts, 60-target day, tankers tagged. The rest of the book is paying the inflation tax in real time.
Two things still hit this book.
Warsh: summer prints don’t mean inflation has “meaningfully improved.” The Fed has “work to do.” Sept 16 is the date. Claims 206k. ISM Services 55.4 with prices hot. That’s the rate path I respect not the cut narrative from earlier this year.
Then the plumbing. Sept 1 ETFs bled $236M. Sept 2 took back $101M. Last month still absorbed ~$3.5B. Saylor noise, tokenization, all real. None of it made BTC immune to $90 oil and a hawkish Fed. $77k holding is why the 11:40am rip even exists.
How I’m sitting it:
Crypto core stays. $77k was the line. It held. $80k is unfinished business now with a timestamp. Lose $77k and last month looks like a finished squeeze. Hold $80k into Friday NFP and $81k is still the fight. ETH needs $2,400. SOL needs $100. XRP needs $1.35. Stocks: not chasing a green Wednesday into jobs. Energy can work while the Fed and oil argue.
Tomorrow is the tell. Then Sept 16. New bid, or the best short covering of 2026.
Not advice. Just the book.

August just printed Bitcoin’s best month since 2017. My book felt it.
BTC ripped from the mid-$60ks to tests above $81k, now sitting ~$78k. Call it +24% on the month even after today’s fade. ETH is holding the $2,440–$2,470 zone after a strong August. SOL is around $102. XRP is digesting near $1.36 after that vertical stretch. That’s the crypto sleeve: not euphoric tonight, but the monthly tape is still the story.
Equities are red with us. S&P ~7,670, Dow ~53,200, Nasdaq ~26,300. Still heading for a green August roughly +2% / +3% / +4%. Energy is the only bid that actually showed up. Makes sense. Oil is back near $90 after the weekend U.S.–Iran strikes. The rest of the book is paying the inflation tax in real time.
Two things hit the same screen today.
Warsh at Jackson Hole: summer prints don’t mean underlying inflation has “meaningfully improved.” The Fed has “work to do.” September hike odds jumped. That’s the rate path I have to respect in this book not the cut narrative from earlier this year.
Then geopolitics. Hormuz risk is back. Sticky inflation + energy shock is the combo that still correlates BTC with risk assets. ETFs, Saylor noise, tokenization… all real. None of it made BTC immune to a hawkish Fed and $90 oil on a Monday.
The part I’m not fading: the plumbing. Spot BTC ETFs absorbed real size this month. ETH ETFs are closing the gap. Tokenized stock volume up ~415% in 30 days. That’s the structural bid underneath the chop. August wasn’t just a squeeze. It was institutions using the pipes.
So here’s how I’m sitting it tonight:
Crypto core stays. $77k on BTC is the level that matters in this book. Lose that and August starts looking like a finished squeeze. Hold it and $80k is still unfinished business. ETH needs $2,400. SOL needs $100. XRP needs $1.35. Stocks: I’m not chasing the last day of a green month into NFP week. Energy can keep working while the Fed and oil argue.
This week is the tell. Manufacturing, ADP, Friday jobs. Then Sept 16. That’s when we find out if August was the start of a new bid or the best short covering of 2026.
Not advice. Just the book.

That page was ~$63.7k.
Recovery printed. First leg printed. Digestion printed. Expansion is the tape now.
$80–82k is gone. $BTC ~$85k. $ETH from ~$1.9k to ~$2.72k.
My take: the sequence was right. The date was never the edge. $100k by December is possible if $80–81k holds and $85k gets accepted that’s the first real test since the reclaim. Blow past it only if dips keep getting bought. Lose $80–81k and you’re back in range. Not bearish. Just structure.
I don’t need December. I need higher lows. BTC leads. ETH follows when the tape allows.
Hypothetical only. Not advice.
A good day from home 🦅
Sketched this one out myself this morning.
Possible path from here (~$63.7k) → $100k by December.
Three phases:
Recovery → Digestion → Expansion.
Not a prediction.
Just levels I’m watching and managing around.
From here (~$1.9k) toward $4k by December.
Slower grind. Same rules: higher lows, manage risk, no hope.
BTC leads. ETH follows when the market allows.
Markets don’t care about hope.
They reward discipline and higher lows.
What’s your path look like into year-end?
