I would choose tech, but add gradually rather than chase.
Warsh’s message materially changes the near-term regime. He explicitly said 2% PCE is a “firm, fixed target”, financial conditions are not broadly restrictive, labour markets are consistent with full employment, and inflation progress has been modest. Markets now price roughly a 60% probability of a September hike, while Barclays has shifted to expecting September and December hikes.
My ranking would be Tech > Gold > BTC for the next several months. Tech faces valuation compression from higher yields, but AI capex and earnings growth provide a fundamental earnings anchor. Gold remains attractive structurally, but after its enormous run, a stronger dollar and rising real yields could force further consolidation. Bitcoin is the most vulnerable of the three if the Fed genuinely resumes tightening because it has neither earnings nor yield to cushion tighter liquidity.
The important caveat is that September is not decided. August CPI and employment data arrive before the 15-16 September FOMC meeting. A sufficiently soft inflation print could unwind part of Friday's hawkish repricing and produce a sharp relief rally across all three.
So I would DCA into quality tech on weakness, hold existing gold rather than chase it, and keep BTC exposure smallest. The 2-year yield is probably the cleanest signal to watch now. If it continues climbing, all three remain under pressure, with BTC likely carrying the greatest downside beta.
