Just the sharp fluctuations in the US stock market from the open until now roughly match my own thought fluctuations. After the Treasury expanded the repurchase, the market's first reaction was that liquidity arrived, so it went up. I think this calls for short covering and going long. After thinking for a while, I feel the Treasury is so bold because the US debt trend has worsened. After such a big move, there might be even bigger risks ahead, which directly scared the market down again. If it bounces back up later, that should mean the market has completely realized/given up, meaning the Trump team will do whatever it takes to secure the midterm elections. So just blindly follow along, don't fight the trend; after all, if the sky falls, there's a high roof to cover it. $SNDK $SKHYNIX $SPCX #US Treasury Bond Repurchase DoubledThe difficulty of making money in the native crypto market has reached a rather extreme level. Now, more and more US stock tokens are being listed, and the native ecosystem is becoming less pure. The trading volume of sndk has even surpassed that of btc. The crypto space is highly speculative, mainly relying on consensus and liquidity. Funds are withdrawing from high-risk crypto and shifting towards US tech stocks, which is what the capital demands. In the future, most altcoins may be delisted, but US stock tokens will not be delisted. The difference lies between air and substance, and Bitcoin will continue to move forward following the halving cycle, gradually decoupling from the Nasdaq.#Refined fuel price spread breaks 100, will energy inflation rebound? The leader has something to say The diesel crack spread hit $102, a historical high. Diesel inventory is at a 30-year low for this period. The temporary ceasefire agreement between the US and Iran has expired, Brent crude is back to $91. Passage through the Strait of Hormuz is restricted, and Russian refined fuel supply is also decreasing. Diesel is the fundamental fuel for transportation, agriculture, and logistics. When its price rises, freight, food, and heating costs all increase accordingly, directly transmitting to the consumer end. This impact on inflation is more direct than crude oil rising alone. The question is whether this is a short-term shock caused by geopolitical conflict or structural pressure due to insufficient refining capacity. If it is the latter, inflation expectations will rise again, long-term bond yields won't come down, and the valuation ceiling for risk assets will remain. Still holding the short position on BTC at 64300, the add-on at 65200 has already been triggered. No new direction changes tonight. The above analysis is time-sensitive; stop-loss orders must be set for positions. Good luck. $BTC $ETH $SNDK $GPS On August 16, using the narrative of "huge unlocking bad news fully priced in" to violently pump the price from 0.007 to 0.012, attracting the first batch of momentum traders. On August 17, it continued to rise to 0.017, with OKX Ventures selling $750,000 at the high, creating the illusion that "it can still go up." On August 18, it was pumped to 0.0186, RSI at 75 indicating overbought, technical indicators issuing warnings, and the manipulative whales completed their sell-off at the high. On August 19, the price was dumped by 30%, and all retail investors who chased the high were trapped at the peak. LTH selling near $100K is real, but LTH ≠ OG whales. Glassnode showed the 6–12 month holder cohort was a major source of selling during the move toward $100K. That’s very different from ancient $BTC holders. And when an OG sells, the BTC doesn’t vanish. It simply changes hands — creating a new holder, a new cost basis, and potentially another seller at $150K or $200K. So the key question isn’t: “WHEN WILL OGs RUN OUT OF BTC?” The real question is: WHEN DOES MARGINAL DEMAND START OUTPACING MARGI#闪迪回落逾9%，存储估值分歧加剧 $SNDK Sandisk (SNDK) Stock Price Full Review Risk Warning: This is only a market logic review and does not constitute investment advice. Overall Trend Overview 2025-02, spun off from Western Digital and independently listed on Nasdaq, initial stock price around $30-40, a pure NAND flash standalone target. 1. Full year 2025: Bottom consolidation and accumulation Initial market attention was average, stock price fluctuated long-term between $200-300, the market had not fully priced in the incremental NAND storage demand from AI inference. 2. First half of 2026: Epic main upward wave The market fully recognized the AI inference KV-Cache large-capacity storage logic, combined with NAND spot price increases and large multi-year long-term agreements (LTAs) landing, the stock price started a violent surge. • 2026-04: Surpassed $900 • 2026-06-25: Reached historical high of $2348, the largest increase since spin-off exceeded 6000%. 3. July-August 2026: Intense high-level volatility and correction After hitting new highs, entered a high-level digestion phase with huge fluctuations. • Affected by rising US Treasury yields and profit-taking in the storage sector, maximum drawdown from the peak was nearly 28%. • On Investor Day in August, the company proposed returning 100% of remaining cash after investments to shareholders, causing a single-day surge of 13%-17%, briefly rebounding to around $1580, then following the broader market to fluctuate downward again. • Currently fluctuating widely between $1550-1700, volatility remains high, daily moves of 10% up or down are normal. Key Technical Levels • Historical high resistance: $2348, a major strong resistance level, requires fundamentals to exceed expectations again to challenge. • Short-term resistance: $1750-1800, upper edge of recent trading range. • Core support: $1300-1400, a densely traded area tested multiple times in August, the key dividing line between bulls and bears in this consolidation. • Extreme defense level: $1100-1200, breaking below would indicate the AI storage bull market logic is being questioned by the market. Core Factors Driving Stock Price Upward Drivers 1. AI inference storage incremental narrative: Large models RAG, KV-Cache bring rigid demand for large-capacity NAND, market no longer sees it as a traditional consumer flash company but as an AI infrastructure target. 2. Long-term supply agreements (LTA): Multi-year locked volume orders signed with cloud providers largely smooth traditional NAND cycles, core logic for valuation uplift. 3. Rising NAND spot prices: Company has high operating leverage, price increases directly translate into huge profits, financial reports consistently beat expectations significantly. 4. Shareholder return plan: Commitment to return all remaining cash after capital expenditures to shareholders, enhancing shareholder value expectations. Downward Risks Suppressing Stock Price 1. Valuation already fully priced with optimistic expectations, institutional target prices vary widely from $1100 to $3000, any data below expectations can cause sharp valuation cuts. 2. Risk of slowing NAND price increase slope: This round of performance largely comes from product price increases rather than shipment growth; if manufacturers expand capacity and flash prices fall, performance will be pressured. 3. High Beta characteristic: When US Treasury yields rise and tech sector pulls back, SNDK declines significantly more than the sector, a high volatility stock. 4. Market concerns: Future renewal prices of long-term agreements; progress of HBF new technology implementation; cloud providers' capital expenditure below expectations. Three Scenario Simulations 1. Base scenario (neutral) Continued high-level fluctuation between $1300-1800. Financial reports remain strong but growth slows marginally, market enters "verification of long-term agreement fulfillment" phase, awaiting new catalysts from HBF technology and cloud providers' capital expenditure. 2. Optimistic scenario AI storage demand continues to exceed expectations; long-term agreements keep increasing; NAND supply and demand remain tight. Stock price rises again, challenging previous historical highs. 3. Pessimistic scenario Cloud providers cut capital expenditure; NAND supply increases, prices turn downward. Effectively breaks $1300 support, stock price probes near $1100. Summary Sandisk is a highly elastic target in the AI storage cycle. The past year's surge came from two things: ① AI inference driving structural new NAND demand; ② Long-term supply agreements weakening traditional flash cycles. However, the stock price has fully priced in optimistic expectations. The core future contradiction: whether AI storage demand can continue to be realized, and whether the NAND price cycle will reverse again. Key indicators to track: NAND spot prices, cloud providers' capital expenditure guidance, long-term agreement renewal status, HBF new technology mass production progress. #SNDK #Sandisk #StorageChip #NANDFlash #USStockMarketReview BTC options volatility is suppressed, indicating the market is not afraid of today but may be underestimating the risks in the coming months. Recently, there has been an interesting phenomenon in the BTC options market: short-term options protection demand has decreased, and the market is pricing near-term volatility low, but there is still a certain risk premium retained for longer maturities. Simply put, traders seem not too worried about today but are not completely relaxed about the future. This structure fits well with the market environment on August 19. $BTC is currently around $64,400, appearing calm on the surface, but there are many potential triggers ahead: Fed meeting minutes, Jackson Hole, follow-ups to the White House crypto meeting, SEC/CFTC division of responsibilities, renewed push after the Clarity Act delay, GENIUS Act stablecoin regulations, Strategy capital structure, oil prices, and Middle East risks. Any one of these events alone may not be enough to change the trend, but if they occur together unexpectedly, they could break the low volatility structure. Low volatility is not safety; low volatility just means the market is temporarily unwilling to pay for risk. Often, the real big moves don’t happen when everyone is panicking but when everyone thinks nothing will move. Option sellers suppress volatility, market makers hedge around ranges, funding rates are not extreme, spot prices grind back and forth, creating an illusion of "all is well." But once the price breaks a key range, hedging desks will chase, leverage will move, and volatility will quickly amplify. As BTC becomes more institutionalized, the options market will have a greater impact on spot. ETF holders may use options for protection, miners may hedge with futures and options, institutions may sell calls to increase yield, and market makers adjust spot and perpetual exposure based on Gamma. The result is that many spot price moves are actually adjustments in derivative positions. Without understanding options, it’s easy to only see price outcomes and miss the reasons behind them. What’s most interesting now is that the market seems willing to believe BTC can continue to grind around $63,000 to $65,000 in the short term but is not fully relaxed in the medium term. This structure itself indicates traders don’t think the BTC story is over, just that there is a lack of strong triggers in the short term. The problem is, the denser the triggers, the more fragile the low volatility. So when writing about BTC options today, don’t just say "more call options means it will go up." Options are not direction themselves but the market’s pricing of volatility and risk. What really matters is: if the Fed minutes deviate from expectations, can BTC break the range? If regulatory progress after the White House meeting exceeds expectations, will call positions amplify the rise? If oil prices and geopolitical risks worsen, will put demand return? $BTC is not without volatility now; rather, volatility is suppressed underwater. The calm around $64,400 may just be the market waiting for the first real sound to break the balance. The more people think all is well, the more cautious you should be that volatility will come faster when trouble arises. $SD $SD is waking up with a +4.22% push toward 0.09735.

If not interested or disagree, come to the pinned post on the homepage for discussion (insults will get you blocked immediately). Regarding future trends, ETH just says there is a chance, but not many opportunities; the key lies in storage cooling and a small portion of funds flowing back. The US stock sectors still rotate to optical modules or AI. Waiting for tokenized stocks, overall cooling, and favorable policies, I think the crypto spring is not far away. Before spring arrives, it must be winter, definitely a final drop for the comrades. Don’t fantasize that 57,000 is the bottom; personally, I still lean towards the bear market not being over. #闪迪回落逾9%，存储估值分歧加剧 #Anthropic信贷拟超百亿美元 $ANIME $ANIME is waking up with a +1.44% move around 0.002396.

EP: 0.00233–0.00239 TP: 0.00250 / 0.00262 / 0.00278 SL: 0.00224SK Hynix announced this afternoon a stock buyback and cancellation of about $28.6 billion within 3 months. They plan to use more than 50% of the cumulative free cash flow from 2025 to 2027 for buybacks, cancellations, and dividends. I was sleeping and ended up closing my original 1680 short position at breakeven (damn, so frustrating). SK Hynix's buyback is indeed an important part of a short squeeze, but it should be noted that this is a capital return positive. It is not news of new storage price hikes, customer orders, or production cuts, nor is it a large-scale market buildup of new long positions. If interested, you can review my previous analysis article on SanDisk's surge due to the investment conference. So this belongs to sector sentiment transmission: "positive trigger + short covering amplification". This also explains why the price failed to hold after the surge, with 1693 becoming the short-term top confirmation level. The current surge should still be regarded as a false breakout pressure level for now; just look at the positions to understand. You cannot directly conclude that SanDisk has restarted a main upward wave just because of SK Hynix's buyback $SNDK #SKHynix40TrillionBuyback, how to balance expansion and returns $SKHYNIX $SNDK panicked and crashed yesterday, but today funds are bottom-fishing. Could this turn into a reversal? Hynix and SanDisk have surged again and again—did you guys not catch on? The shorts are buzzing in their heads, but don’t worry, let’s analyze! A violent rebound of nearly 10% in one hour! This round of storage stock rebound is directly catalyzed by Hynix’s plan to spend about 40 trillion KRW to repurchase and cancel approximately 24.07 million shares, about 3.3% of total shares outstanding, while committing to use at least 50% of cumulative free cash flow from 2025 to 2027 for shareholder returns. Hynix dares to expand production while simultaneously deploying huge funds for buybacks, indicating management believes HBM and DRAM can continue generating cash flow. In other words, the storage market is at least not as bad as the market previously feared. Funds then spread this logic to MU, WDC, and SNDK. Hynix confirmed the industry logic, while SanDisk amplified sector sentiment with higher NAND profit elasticity. Going forward, just watch the strength boundaries of the two stocks: SKHY looks at $150; if it holds and then retakes $165 to $170, the target is $180, then $190 to $195 at previous highs. Breaking below $149 to $150 means buybacks can only buffer the decline and are insufficient to reverse market expectations. SNDK looks at $1650 and $1750; breaking through $1750 gives a chance to test $1800 to $1830. Holding above $1830 on volume means the main uptrend is restored. Conversely, breaking below $1650 means this rally is still more of an oversold recovery, and losing $1600 means watch out for a second pullback. Simply put: SKHY holding $150 means sector confidence remains; SNDK breaking $1750 means the rebound has room to upgrade. Hynix is responsible for proving the storage industry really has money, and SanDisk is responsible for amplifying that confidence into a wave.$SNDK oi! SanDisk crashed... Another high open and low close! In the afternoon, $SKHYNIX released positive news after hours Simultaneously driving SanDisk up But it plunged right at the open! 🔥SNDK falls back tonight Following the collective pullback of the US stock storage sector The main reasons for this round of decline Rising US Treasury yields suppressing high-valuation tech stocks Combined with concentrated profit-taking after huge previous gains The market begins trading on long-term concerns about storage chip capacity expansion Couldn't hold on~ Volatility is a bit fierce, waiting for the opportunity to re-enter and play both long and short~ #闪迪回落逾9%，存储估值分歧加剧 $1935 $ETH, are you still waiting for a lower? Let's look at the surface first: Continuously losing to $BTC, believers' faith is collapsing. Year-to-date fell 35%, down over 50% in one year, with the ETH/BTC exchange rate hitting new lows. Across the internet: "VC chains are failing," "Solana is about to surpass," "Vitalik only knows how to brag." But what happened next? The price rebounded from 1500 to 1935, rising nearly 30% in 30 days. The price has risen above the 50-day moving average (1856), with the 200-day moving average (2000) holding above it. After the MACD golden cross, momentum has weakened, and the RSI 57 is neutrally bullish. Ready to launch, just missing a high-volume bullish candle. First: Glamsterdam was postponed, but the market no longer cares. The originally planned H1 upgrade has been postponed to Q4, and developers warn that the 21,000 gas hard-coded assumption will be broken, requiring changes to both wallets and indexers. The community exploded: "Postponed again!" ETH is no longer working! Every upgrade delay is a buying opportunity when all the negative news has been exhausted. Shanghai upgrades have been delayed, Deneb has been delayed, and Pectra has also been delayed—which one hasn't risen so much that you want to break your thigh? The second thing: ETF funds are quietly flowing back, but you haven't noticed. On August 18, the net inflow was 71.47 million, with BlackRock alone contributing 90%. There have been net inflows for several consecutive weeks, absolute volume hasn't exploded yet, but the direction has already changed. The media only focused on the "ETH underperforming BTC" narrative, selectively ignoring it: institutions quietly accumulated shares in the 1900-2000 range, while retail investors remainedWow, $SNDK's movement today is even more thrilling than altcoins 😂, SanDisk is the real meat grinder, crypto is not. In 24 hours, it dropped from 1736 all the way down to 1565.89, with a 10% amplitude, then it surged, dropped, surged, dropped again, a back-and-forth slaughter. What's going on? Explained in three sentences: US stock storage sector collectively crashed, SKHY -9%, SKHYNIX -9%, $SNDK followed down SanDisk rose 35% in a week, profit-taking is heavy, any slight disturbance triggers a stampede to sell Contract positions dropped 40% in one day, leverage was squeezed out—it's not that someone is dumping, but holders are being forced out Current position: 1600 is a key psychological level, defended for a day The lower 1565 was tested once today, if broken again, look at 1550-1520 The sell volume in the top 20 order book levels is 4 times the buy volume, the trend hasn't emerged yet My view: Leverage has been cleared, shorts are starting to pay to hold, which is a bullish sign; but selling pressure remains and the trend hasn't reversed, so it's not time to chase yet. This position is uncomfortable on both sides. ⚠️ Those without positions shouldn't rush in, those with positions should closely watch 1600—holding it means a correction, losing it means the next leg down. The long-term AI storage logic remains intact, but the short-term slope is too steep, neither chasing nor bottom-fishing is a good idea. Wait for volume contraction and stabilization. $BTC $ETH #海力士40万亿回购，扩产与回报如何平衡 $XAU Good evening, everyone!

After BTC broke through 65,000, market sentiment warmed up across the board. As a high Beta asset, ETH following the rise after BTC's breakout is a normal correlation. BTC sets the stage, ETH performs the show; this script has played countless times in the crypto world. Second, after consolidating around 1,900 for three weeks, a breakout forces shorts to cover! ETH consolidated in the 1,860-1,900 range for a full three weeks, with 1,900 as the upper boundary of this range. Once broken, short stop-loss orders are triggered, pushing the price up to 1,932. Breaking 1,900 means the short structure is broken, and momentum buyers naturally follow. Third, technical indicators show a bullish alignment. The price has continuously held above SAR and SUPERTREND, the moving average system is starting to align bullishly, and the Bollinger Bands are widening upward. The technicals confirm the improvement in fundamentals, and a qualitative shift in the balance of bullish and bearish forces is occurring.$ETH ETH is quoted at 1,932.28 today, up 0.81% in 24h, with a 24h high of 1,942.60 and a low of 1,868.00. The iron ceiling at 1,900, which had been consolidating for three weeks, was completely broken through today. SAR at 1,905.72 is trampled underfoot, and SUPERTREND at 1,885.59 also provides solid support—daily-level bullish trend confirmed. The upper Bollinger Band at 1,933.04 is right overhead, with the price running close to the upper band, leaving less than 1 dollar of space. RSI6 is 75.95, RSI12 is 68.49, RSI24 is 61.06—all above 50, bulls are in control, but RSI6 has entered the overbought zone, increasing the risk of chasing highs.

The real pressure on the market is no longer just the valuation of tech stocks, but also the simultaneous rise in long-term US Treasury yields, oil prices, and fiscal risks. The S&P 500 fell 0.69%, the Nasdaq dropped 1.33%, and the 30-year US Treasury yield once surged to 5.337%, hitting a high not seen since 2007; WTI hovered around $85, with the market re-trading the chain "rising oil prices → inflation pressure → long-term interest rate increase → pressure on high-valuation assets." But the biggest sudden variable today is in the bond market. The US Treasury announced that starting September 9, it will at least double the liquidity support repo scale for 10–20 year and 20–30 year Treasury bonds, raising the cap per operation from $2 billion to at least $4 billion. After the announcement, the 30-year yield briefly dropped about 9 basis points to around 5.20%, $XAU surged 3% straight up, and US stock futures rose simultaneously. It must be made clear here: this is not QE, nor is it a Federal Reserve rate cut, but rather the Treasury actively improving the liquidity and supply-demand structure of long-term Treasuries. Therefore, the real question worth trading today is not "Treasury action = US stocks will rise," but rather → after the decline in long-term yields, is there genuine buying interest returning to the risk assets that were heavily sold off yesterday. 1.

SanDisk $SNDK: Riding on the positive stimulus from Hynix's buyback, it surged but was then hammered down by profit-taking, a roller coaster ride. This is an emotional recovery after an oversell, not a complete reversal. U.S. Treasury yields remain high, with many positions looking to break even or take profits above, so the rebound faces significant resistance, all depending on macro trends. Bitcoin $BTC: Slightly moving up, as funds bet on the minutes leaning towards easing, positioning early. Volume hasn't increased, indicating existing funds are just shuffling within the range, unable to break major resistance, still constrained by the U.S. stock market. Ethereum $ETH: Still passively following the rise, with high volatility but lacking initiative. When Bitcoin rises, it gets a bit of the gains; once the market weakens, it tends to fall harder than Bitcoin. Common point: The current rise is driven by pre-meeting expectations. Positive news has already been priced in, making it easy to buy the rumor and sell the fact. The real test is the minutes at midnight; if the wording is hawkish, this rebound could be wiped out at any time. Do not blindly chase the highs. #海力士40万亿回购，扩产与回报如何平衡 #贝莱德重申BTC仍具配置价值 Let me ask you a question: if you put 5 bitcoins worth over $300,000 just in an exchange for a whole year, how much interest would you earn? As shown in the picture, the answer is less than $10. This is the awkwardness of Bitcoin as a non-income-generating asset. Although Bitmine and MicroStrategy have both suffered heavy losses, Bitmine can still tell a revenue story to the capital market. Ethereum's staking yields can be included in the profit statement, making Ethereum Bitmine's means of production, while MicroStrategy can only tell a story of hoarding coins and waiting for price appreciation. However, fortunately, although Bitcoin itself has no yield, ordinary users can still take advantage of exchange benefits. The reason I choose to dollar-cost average and hoard coins on OKX is because there are always ongoing staking mining activities, each offering a 5% annualized return, and each account is given a 5 BTC quota. At least I can earn some living expenses. Without these activities, hoarding coins would be really tough. [Market Analysis] The bullish strategy has played out, but unfortunately, there was no chance to get on board in the latter half. Most of the Hynix bottom positions were also sold off, but fortunately, this week's returns still look pretty good. Looking ahead, I plan to switch to a bearish stance but need to wait for a more suitable entry point. For mid-to-long-term positions, the first batch is planned to be set up in the 65600-66200 range, with an expectation above 67200, so there is no rush to act. The US dollar index is falling, the 30-year Treasury yield has also dropped, and geopolitical rhetoric does not seem to indicate a rekindling of conflict. The AI sector is rebounding strongly, so short positions should be restrained as much as possible. Recently, tradfi has been much easier to trade than crypto. For short-term, rely on US stocks; for mid-to-long-term, focus on Bitcoin. $BTC $SNDK $SPCX #海力士40万亿回购，扩产与回报如何平衡 Micron Technology $MU review of yesterday's view: The 1000 psychological resistance level is very strong, and the selling pressure above needs to be fully digested; the key pullback range below is 922-871, with a mid-to-long-term ultimate target of 1690, waiting for the market to verify. The current pre-market price is 933, already very close to the key support at 922. Focus on whether it will retest this range today before rebounding again. From a technical perspective, looking at the 45-minute level indicators, pay close attention to whether the MACD zero line can form effective support.

This is not just "ETH has larger amplitude"; it indicates that ETH's market is not a slow climb type but pulse-like: long periods of narrow oscillation, with brief concentrated directional releases. For trend traders, this is an ideal target because the profit source of trends is this kind of asymmetric volatility—catching one or two high-volume candlesticks can cover multiple trial-and-error costs. But the other side of the coin is equally obvious. High volatility frequency means more "spikes" during sideways phases; ETH is more prone to false breakouts during range oscillations: the price just breaks a key level, attracting breakout orders to enter, then immediately reverses to wipe out stop losses and return inside the range. If you mechanically use breakout strategies throughout, you will be repeatedly worn down during consolidation periods. So a more accurate answer is: ETH is a trend asset but requires range-based thinking to filter entries. Reduce position size, widen stop losses, or stay out during sideways phases, saving bullets for when volatility expands again and direction is confirmed; once the trend starts, leverage ETH's pulse-like characteristics to let profits run. Simply put, $ETH rewards patient trend traders and punishes those who treat every 1% candlestick as a signal. $BTC First, macro data continues to provide support. US July retail sales fell by 0.6% month-over-month, with cooling consumption continuing to suppress September rate hike expectations. The US dollar and Treasury yields are under pressure, and BTC, as a risk asset, directly benefits. "Rate cut expectations" are the core fuel for this rally. Second, the psychological barrier of 65,000 was broken, triggering a targeted short squeeze! BTC had been consolidating between 62,500 and 64,000 for nearly four weeks, with 65,000 as the upper boundary of this range. Once broken, short stop-loss orders were triggered, pushing the price up to 65,188. Breaking 65,000 confirms a bullish trend, and shorts are being crushed. Third, a bullish technical formation has taken shape. The price has continuously held above SAR and SUPERTREND, the moving average system has started a bullish alignment, and the Bollinger Bands are widening upwards. The technicals are confirming the improvement in macro conditions, and a qualitative shift in the balance of bullish and bearish forces is occurring. Alright, I'll put my judgment here first: I think the US stock market has pretty much bottomed out this time. Storage also confirmed my judgment. It clearly started to stop falling around 1600 in the afternoon, so I was ready to switch to long on SanDisk $SNDK. Then a major news came immediately: The US Treasury is preparing to at least double the scale of long-term US debt repurchases. I don't see this as an ordinary operation; in my view, this is more like "implicit QE." Treasury increases repurchases → relieves liquidity pressure on the long end → US bond yields decline → real interest rates drop → funds flow back into gold, BTC, and US stocks. After the news came out, all three rallied together, which made me even more certain. Especially BTC, I believe this rebound is far from over. ETH is the same; after BTC stabilizes, ETH is very likely to continue catching up. So I won't chase shorts now; instead, I will continue to maintain a bullish stance. My logic is simple: liquidity is loosening, funds are flowing back, so just follow the money. $BTC $ETH $SKDD short position opened at 11.54, marked at 10.59, +164.64%. At around 11.54 during monitoring, a very long upper shadow candle closed, indicating heavy selling pressure above and the bulls' attack was completely repelled. The long upper shadow is a clear short-term top signal; I entered the market after confirming at the close. 20x leverage amplified the power of this "lightning rod". Now at 10.59, the space of the upper shadow has been fully recovered. Market language is hidden in the candlesticks; understanding it leads to winning. Bears control the market, continue to be bearish! $BTC $ETH If the last bull market $AAVE was dominated by V3's "E-Mode" and multi-chain expansion, then with the official launch of Aave V4, Aave is completing a fundamental shift from a "crypto lending protocol" to a "global full-asset clearing and lending foundation." Setting aside empty promotions, let's understand Aave's core three underlying changes and chip logic: 1. Architectural innovation: From "pooled isolation" to "Hub & Spoke" The old V3 was easy to use, but the liquidity of each chain and each fund pool was fragmented. V4 introduces a brand-new Hub & Spoke architecture: Liquidity Hub: all network funds are centrally stored in the central hub, with unified risk management and ledger clearing. Spokes (business branches): Whether it's a compliance pool for institutions, fast lending for specific L2s, or lending channels dedicated to accessing RWA (Real-World Assets), these are just branches connected to Hub. Results: Fund utilization rate increased exponentially. With new business launching online, there's no need to "mine" from scratch to attract liquidity, and you can directly share Hub's billion-yuan capital pool. 2. Battlefield expansion: The "securities finance" market that has taken over TradFi Aave is no longer satisfiedWhy do BTC and ETH experience their largest 4-hour fluctuations every day concentrated at night? The core reason is not that Asian funds suddenly become stronger, but that the European and American trading sessions overlap from 20:00 to 24:00 Beijing time: the US early session is getting underway while Europe has not fully exited. Macroeconomic data, Federal Reserve speeches, ETF funds, and derivatives settlements often fall within this period, increasing both liquidity and information density, making prices naturally more prone to directional moves. Volume and volatility peak simultaneously during this time, indicating that it’s not just busy but also more likely to trigger trend initiations or rapid corrections after false breakouts. The average high-low amplitude of a single 4-hour candlestick is about 1.42% for BTC and about 1.98% for ETH, both the highest among six intraday windows; ETH’s near 2% normal swing means that overly tight stop losses will be repeatedly triggered by noise. For traders, this period is suitable for monitoring breakouts, controlling leverage, loosening stop losses, or using staggered take profits; for low-frequency investors, there’s no need to be swayed by sudden rises and falls at night. What really needs to be guarded against is treating this peak window as a full-day pattern: volume contractions and pullbacks during other periods often determine whether the direction during this time can continue.SpaceX $SPCX review of yesterday's view: Focus on waiting for the 129-134 pullback support range, and after stabilizing, then consider targeting 158 $SPCX has been continuously stuck in a range and oscillating these days. The current pre-market price is 142, basically the same as yesterday's pre-market price, with no significant change Overall view remains unchanged, continue to patiently wait for the 128-134 support range The current market is quite boring, in a range consolidation phase, with no clear direction. Do not prematurely predict a breakout, continue to observe and wait for the market to choose Principal $10,000, current account net value: 💰 $11,480 Total Fees & Interest: 💵 +$345.27 Claimable Rewards: 🎁 $49.94 🎯 $10K → $20K Current net value: $11,480 Completed: 14.9% Distance to $20,000: still $8,510 This experiment was never meant to prove whether I could double my money in a month. What I want to see more is: if we extend the time, can a cash-flow-centered asset allocation slowly turn $10,000 into $20,000. 🏠 Today's positions JTO-JitoSOL $4,550｜+$370.45 JitoSOL-SOL $4,300｜+$362.35 JUP-SOL $2,630｜−$231.89 The performance of the three positions still varies. This also reminds me again: being an LP doesn't mean "high APY always means profit." Fees are collected, but SOL price fluctuations, position structure, and impermanent loss also affect the final net value. So what I record every day is not just: how much rent was collected today. But: whether the collected rent can ultimately outperform the asset's own volatility. Day 49, continuing. No chasing highs, no guessing bottoms, no changing long-term plans because of one day's profit or loss. 🎯 $10,000 → $20 After three rounds of opening moves, I already smelled blood — in this game of $FIL, the white side has shown a flaw. A 4.11% drop in 24 hours is not noise; it's the board trembling lightly before the opponent makes the first sneaky move. Look at that short-term RSI, already climbed to 66.5, like your opponent pulling the queen out early in the opening—seemingly aggressive, but actually tearing a gap in their own king's wing. The long-term RSI hangs at 49.3, indicating the mid-term formation is still relatively stable, but this is the most dangerous signal—the main force is still gathering in midfield, while the front line has already ignited battlefires along the Bollinger Bands. The Bollinger Bands readings are the real clues to capturing the king. The short-term price is stuck at 81%, with only 0.8% breathing room to the upper band, and a 3.8% gap below. The mid-term is even harsher; the price is directly at 102%, exceeding the upper Bollinger Band by 0.1%—what does this mean? It means your opponent has squeezed their forces into a narrow corridor, with a cliff behind and a wall ahead. At times like this, any sudden attack will turn into a trap. This so-called "4.1% rebound entry" looks to me like a bait to lure the enemy in. Doesn't it resemble a gambit opening? The opponent deliberately offers a bait worth $0.78, making you think you can break through the center. But true masters know that when your opponent voluntarily gives you a pawn, you should first check if your king is already on their diagonal. On my board, the black and white pieces have already revealed the winning move. This is a bearish midgame; what I need to do is not to entangle here but to secure the baseline in advance. Entry at 0.78 is the pawn he deliberately pushes forward to die; Take Profit 1 at 0.70 is the horizontal line he must retreat to after his formation breaks; Take Profit 2 at 0.71 is the buffer zone in this downward pressure move. Stop loss at 0.87—I’m willing to pay this 17% space as an observation fee—because if he can reverse break through from the Bollinger Band 102% position, it means there are changes I haven't understood yet, and I must admit I’ve fallen into a trap in this game. 📉 Short: Entry: $0.78 (current price +4.1%) Take Profit 1: $0.70 (-6.8%) Take Profit 2: $0.71 (-4.6%) Stop Loss: $0.87 (-16.5%) Now this game, the midgame has just begun to unfold. The opponent’s queen is already exposed on the fifth rank, while my rook is ready to cross the entire camp from the baseline. I watch that 4.11% bearish candle settle, and a soft sound rises on the board—check. Only, he hasn’t realized he’s already checkmated yet.Fundamental Research Report $CRV / Curve DAO (DeFi) $3.20 One-sentence conclusion: Curve DAO ($CRV) overall score 51/100, rating narrative outweighs execution.

Bitcoin is currently around $64,000, still suppressed by around $65,000, with weak spot liquidity and on-chain activity. Therefore, the recent rebound is better defined as a retest by funds rather than a full return in risk appetite. (XTB.de) 1. Market Capital Behavior The first reaction after news does not necessarily reflect the actual direction of the funds. Recently, U.S. spot Bitcoin funds saw a net inflow of about $298 million again, ending several consecutive days of outflows. Meanwhile, Ethereum funds recorded a net inflow of about $71.5 million, indicating that institutional funds have not fully withdrawn from the crypto market. (FinanceFeeds) But more importantly, the funds did not quickly spread throughout the altcoin market. Bitcoin still plays the main role of liquidity bearer, Ethereum is attracting Layer 2 capital attention, while small- and mid-cap assets remain insufficiently sustained. This means that the current situation is more like internal rotation of core assets rather than a full-scale knockoff season. 2. Performance Diverges by Tier and Sector Bitcoin Fundamentally Institutional Funds and Macro Liquidity remain the core logic of Bitcoin. Currently, it is fluctuating around $64,000, but a breakout below $65,000 still requires confirmation from volume and spot buying. If prices rise while trading volume continues to shrink, it is more likely to be short-term capital action. Ethereum is relatively stronger than Bitcoin. RecentlyBiggest loser $GPS -34.21% | The whale pumped and dumped $GPS, driving it from 0.011 to 0.019 in three days, nearly doubling, then today it was smashed from 0.019 down to 0.012, dropping 34%. On 8/17 and 8/18, trading volume exceeded 600 million U, clearly a whale-driven pump and dump. On the 18th, the daily inflow of positions was 18.95 million U, 26 times that of previous days, all ammo from chasing bulls taking the bag. Massaging the brain, thinking you found a gold mine but it turned out to be a pit. $GPS crawled around 0.009 for half a month with daily volume only in the millions of U, then suddenly on 8/17, 644 million volume pushed it up 51%, and on 8/18 it continued to surge to 0.019. The whale's fee rate turned negative for two consecutive days, forcing shorts to surrender; on the 18th, out of 26.85 million U held, 19 million was chased in that day. 0.0189 is the distribution top shown by the whale to retail investors, 0.0082 is the iron bottom from July. After the supply is sold off, it started a stealthy decline. Citi is advancing its $BTC custody business, while BlackRock reiterates the value of allocation—this week I caught two signals from institutions on the OKX ticker panel at the same time. Citibank plans to launch $BTC custody services to open entry channels for institutions; BlackRock once again emphasized that $BTC still has allocation value, with related discussions surging 200% within 24 hours. On one side is custody infrastructure, on the other is the asset allocation narrative. These two lines intersect in the same week, and I decided to break down the logic behind it. The significance of Citibank's launch of $BTC custody is not that it is another major bank entering crypto, but that it solves the final bottleneck for institutional entry. Large institutions such as pension funds, insurance companies, and sovereign wealth funds cannot directly store $BTC on exchanges or cold wallets; they need custodians: entities holding banking licenses, regulated by the OCC, and capable of asset segregation. Citibank plays exactly this role. BlackRock reiterated the value of $BTC configuration, which is a higher-level narrative. Its IBIT is the world's largest $BTC spot ETF, and this statement is not just verbal support but a signal to RIA and wealth management platforms: continue to include $BTC in client portfolios. BlackRock is not convincing retail investors, but a network of advisors managing trillions of dollars in assets. If you look at these two lines together,📊 $HYPE Contract Liquidation Update (August 19) According to liquidation data, the market manipulators on HYPE executed a textbook-level directional switch harvesting strategy — short-term shorts aggressively squeezed, long-term longs stubbornly counterattacked and confirmed victory, with total liquidations surpassing $830,000. Time Total Liquidations Long Liquidations Short Liquidations 1 hour $47,600 $1,310.67 $46,300 4 hours $83,700 $1,731.25 $81,900 12 hours $278,300 $185,100 $93,200 24 hours $838,300 $507,600 $330,700 From the $HYPE liquidation data, short liquidations crushed longs in the 1-hour window, shorts were 35 times the longs, with a nuclear-level intensity short squeeze, liquidation volume $47,600 — shorts dominated the short-term, longs were directly crushed; at 4 hours shorts continued to crush, shorts were 47 times the longs, squeeze intensity further increased, liquidation volume jumped from $47,600 to $83,700 — shorts went all out, longs continuously crushed; at 12 hours the direction completely reversed, long liquidations crushed shorts, longs were 1.99 times the shorts, manipulators completed a fierce turnaround from short squeeze to long liquidation, liquidation volume soared to $278,300 — longs began to take over, but with moderate strength, longs and shorts nearly balanced; at 24 hours longs continued to crush, long liquidations $507,600 vs short $330,700, longs were 1.54 times shorts, total liquidations exceeded $838,300 — manipulators on HYPE completed a perfect path of “shorts aggressively squeezing → longs stubbornly counterattacking → longs confirming victory,” with short-term shorts wildly harvesting and long-term longs counter-slaughtering. A textbook-level double kill of longs and shorts. But crucially, the long liquidation dominance ratio shrank from 1.99 at 12 hours to 1.54 at 24 hours, long liquidation momentum is continuously weakening, longs and shorts are returning to balance, direction may reverse at any time. Manage your positions carefully to avoid being harvested back and forth. ⚠️ Risk Warning: HYPE short-term squeeze (1H/4H) and long-term long liquidation (12H/24H) form a sharp directional switch, and the 12H→24H ratio narrows from 1.99 to 1.54, long liquidation momentum is weakening, risk of directional reversal is high; 12H+24H liquidations account for 98% of daily total, concentration is extremely high, market volatility is extremely intense. Leverage is recommended to be compressed to within 3x, avoid blindly bottom-fishing, strictly control positions and wait for clear direction. 🔥 Market Indicator | August 19 Today's three hot topics point to the same theme: Money earned from AI is starting to be massively returned to shareholders — but market disagreement on the storage cycle has not dissipated. 📱 Xiaomi Q2 Earnings: Phones Down, Cars Up On August 18, Xiaomi released its Q2 2026 results: revenue 108.9 billion yuan, adjusted net profit 6.2 billion yuan. Smartphone business is under full pressure, shipments dropped sharply 26.5% year-on-year to 31.2 million units, revenue down to 42.1 billion yuan. But ASP pushed to a historic high of 1,351 yuan — selling less but at higher prices. Automotive business is the biggest highlight: smart electric vehicle revenue 23.9 billion yuan, deliveries 104,199 units, up 28.2% year-on-year; overall innovative business revenue 24.9 billion yuan, accounting for 22.9% of total revenue. But concerns remain — automotive gross margin fell from 26.4% last year to 19.2%. "Phones support the family, cars start the business" — Xiaomi's transformation period continues. 🏦 SK Hynix 40 Trillion Won Buyback: Largest "Cancellation Buyback" in History On August 19, SK Hynix announced a buyback and cancellation of shares worth 40 trillion Korean won (about $28.6 billion). This is the largest treasury stock cancellation in the history of Korean listed companies. Specifically, the company will repurchase up to 24.07 million shares (about 3.3% of total shares) from August 20 to November 19, and all repurchased shares will be canceled. Meanwhile, the shareholder return target for 2025-2027 is raised from "not exceeding 50% of cumulative free cash flow" to over 50%. On one hand expansion, on the other hand buyback — the company had previously raised its 2026 capital expenditure plan to the latter half of 40 trillion won. Against the backdrop of a significant stock price correction since the July peak, SK Hynix is telling the market with real money: AI earnings must be invested in the future and also returned to the present. 💾 SanDisk Drops Over 9%, Storage Valuation Disagreement Intensifies On August 18, the five major storage companies collectively plunged, with SanDisk down 9.01% to $1,625.78. This is not due to sudden fundamental deterioration, but profit-taking triggered by AI investment valuation doubts and excessive short-term gains. The previous $93.9 billion long-term contract and 80% gross margin target failed to prevent market divergence. The core disagreement is one thing: Is storage still a cyclical stock? If the long-term contract can truly rewrite the cycle, current valuation is the floor; if storage ultimately cannot escape the boom-bust cycle, current price is the ceiling. The long-term contract locks revenue but cannot lock market skepticism. 💎 Summary Three events outline the same picture: Xiaomi supports growth with cars but losses persist; SK Hynix announces a 40 trillion won buyback signaling AI dividends are returning to shareholders; SanDisk’s long-term contract story faces market foot voting — the cyclical fate of storage has not been completely rewritten. When new narratives collide head-on with old cycles — the market is pricing the second half of 2026 in the most divided way. #财报观察员：小米Q2财报出炉，是汽车救场还是手机拖后腿？ #海力士40万亿回购，扩产与回报如何平衡 #闪迪回落逾9%，存储估值分歧加剧 Chip crash wave spreads to Tokyo, oil prices soar adding fuel to the fire: Japanese stocks keep falling, how will the Asia-Pacific market fare under this double squeeze? The global semiconductor sector sell-off storm is triggering a fierce domino effect in Asia's core capital markets. Following the sharp plunge of South Korea's semiconductor giants, the panic selling quickly spread across the ocean to the Tokyo market. On Wednesday, Japan's main stock indices were under pressure and kept falling, with semiconductor equipment and upstream materials giants such as Tokyo Electron, Advantest, and Disco all facing massive sell-offs. Meanwhile, international crude oil prices continued to fluctuate and rise under geopolitical shadows, approaching the $90 mark, pouring more hot oil on already fragile market sentiment. On one side is the "semiconductor bloodbath" triggered by the global tech stock valuation restructuring; on the other is the "imported inflation pressure" caused by soaring international energy prices. The Japanese market is experiencing a highly destructive double squeeze: First, a comprehensive liquidity purge in the Asia-Pacific semiconductor supply chain. Japan controls the world's top-tier chip manufacturing equipment and core materials like semiconductor photoresists. But with US stock SanDisk plunging over 9% and South Korea's SK Hynix dropping 10%, valuation squeezes on downstream device and chip manufacturers quickly flowed upstream along the industry chain. Previously enjoying high premiums, Japanese semiconductor equipment stocks have become the first battlefield for institutional profit-taking amid concerns over the cycle peak and cloud vendors cutting short-term capital expenditures. Second, soaring energy prices choke export-driven economies. Japan relies on overseas imports for nearly 100% of its crude oil. The strong rebound in international oil prices driven by geopolitical tensions directly worsens Japan's trade balance, raises manufacturing companies' electricity and logistics operating costs, and reignites domestic inflationary pressures. Third, the Bank of Japan (BOJ) faces a monetary policy dilemma. Rising imported inflation forces the market to reprice expectations for further BOJ rate hikes this year, while the shadow of rising yen interest rates accelerates global carry trade unwinding, further draining liquidity from the domestic equity market. With global funding costs remaining high and energy supply alarms ringing, the logic behind Japan's stock surge driven by "weak yen + AI frenzy" is facing its toughest cyclical test. The semiconductor sell-off sweeps South Korea and Japan, and international oil prices keep climbing. Do you think this round of Asia-Pacific market declines is a short-term profit-taking, or a signal of a major style shift in global commodity and tech assets? Facing the current macro storm, will your asset allocation shift to commodity hedges, or will you patiently wait for tech stocks to stabilize after a pullback? --- The above content represents personal views only and does not constitute any investment advice. DYOR, NFA. #交易之声：你的经验值得被听到 Two major events tonight: 1️⃣ The U.S. Treasury is auctioning $16 billion in 20-year bonds 2️⃣ The Federal Reserve releases the July meeting minutes Normally, before such high-level macro events unfold, the market should drop first out of caution. Funds seek safety, reduce positions, and wait for uncertainty to clear. But BTC has held steady at 64,800. 📊 The market reveals a signal SNDK up 2.87%, SKHYNIX surges 5.29%, gold up 2.73%. BTC up 0.18%, ETH up 0.64%. All assets are rising, though not by much, with no panic selling or risk-off position reductions. What does this indicate? It suggests the market may have already priced in most expectations for tonight’s two events. Or in other words, funds are less fearful now. 📊 Tonight’s scenarios Scenario 1: Minutes are dovish + auction results good U.S. Treasury yields fall, risk assets surge. BTC breaks through 65,000-65,500, ETH breaks 1,950 aiming for 2,000. Scenario 2: Minutes are hawkish + auction results weak U.S. Treasury yields continue to soar, risk assets under pressure. BTC retests 63,500-64,000, ETH retests 1,880-1,900. Scenario 3: Minutes neutral + auction results average Continue sideways, waiting for the next catalyst. 📊 My strategy · Hold existing long positions, no directional bets · Go long on a break above 65,500, target 66,000-67,000 · $SNDK and $SKHYNIX are buying back shares, while $SPCX keeps facing unlock and selling pressure. The real concern isn’t the space narrative—it’s whether dilution, funding costs, and leverage can keep pressuring the position. With liquidation near $110, this is no longer just a bullish thesis. Risk management matters more than hoping for a pump. ⚠️ $SNDK $SPCX $SKHYNIX$BTC $ETH #闪迪回落逾9%, valuation divergence in storage intensifies. US stocks officially opened, with global asset classes showing clear divergence. Gold surged strongly, while BTC and ETH continued to fluctuate within a range, failing to follow precious metals in a strong rally. Spot gold surged sharply, with safe-haven buying continuously pouring in, hitting new highs and reflecting market concerns over geopolitical risks and U.S. Treasury yields, with safe-haven assets being sought after by capital. In contrast, in the crypto market, BTC is hovering around $64,300, ETH is trading above $1,900, showing slight fluctuations and far less gains than gold, with risk capital still maintaining a cautious stance. On the macro level, the market is awaiting the Federal Reserve meeting minutes, and US Treasury yields remain high, which has become the core factor suppressing crypto assets. In a high-yield environment, non-yielding assets like gold and BTC face opportunity cost pressures. It's just that current geopolitical risk aversion adds extra value to gold, while the risk attributes of cryptocurrencies limit their potential for safe-haven growth. After the U.S. stock market opened, the technology sector showed divergence. The memory chip sector rebounded intraday, and risk appetite slightly improved. However, capital did not flow into the crypto sector on a large scale, and spot ETF inflows were subdued, lacking incremental capital support. Technically, BTC's key resistance level remains at $65,000; only by effectively holding above this level can upside potential be opened; ETH is under pressure concentrated at $1940; if it fails to break through, there is still a short-term risk of a pullback. Overall, the current trend is for safe-haven assetsWednesday 8.19 Gold closed down yesterday, originally today was expected to pull back upward for a continued short position But just now it surged from around 4370 to around 4460 Breaking through yesterday's resistance at 4434 The objective fact breaks the bearish trend I checked and it’s because the US started buying Treasury bonds Some old long-term Treasury bonds in the market were bought by the Treasury Department Demand for long-term Treasury bonds rises Treasury bond prices rise Treasury yields fall US long-term interest rate expectations decline Dollar attractiveness decreases Gold rises First target at 4500, second target at 4517 Will talk about breaking those levels if they are surpassed The premise is 4450, this level must hold Personal opinion, price points are based on international gold prices #30年期美债收益率创2007年以来新高 $QQQ was hammered -1.69%, yet $BTC still managed +1.14%? On the surface, crypto looks strong, but in reality $IBIT only gained +0.49%. Spot and ETF are telling different stories; whoever shows weakness first will set the direction. Looking at the numbers $BTC 64,844 +1.14% $ETH 1,931 +1.86% $QQQ -1.69% $SPY -0.68% $IBIT +0.49% $DXY -0.69% $GLD -1.71% Oil and the Strait of Hormuz are still disturbing inflation expectations, US Treasuries and Fed expectations continue to suppress valuations, the dollar is not just a backdrop. Semiconductors are more direct: $SNDK -5.2%, $SKHYNIX -1.4% are being pressed down, money is moving into defense. $ETH +1.86% shows more resilience than $BTC +1.14%, $SOL +2.7% is where sentiment is really picking up. $IBIT only +0.49%, compared to $BTC spot it shows weakness; ETF is not following, indicating the main players haven't really entered. $DXY -0.69% loosens the grip on risk assets a bit, $GLD -1.71% shows safe-haven funds are withdrawing, but $XAU +1.2% is still holding up, gold itself has no clear direction. Tonight, whether $BTC can hold 64,844 is what counts; $IBIT and spot need to align first, don't rush to chase. #高盛称美联储9月加息可能性非常低Just saw a brother go long on PUMP with 7x leverage, and the feeling hit instantly. Coin: PUMP. Direction: Long. Leverage: 7x. Entry price: 0.003032. Position size: $75,799, quantity 25,000,000. This trade isn’t huge, but using 7x leverage on such a highly volatile asset is basically flirting with emotions. When it pumps a bit, you feel like a stock market genius; when it dumps, your true colors show immediately. The worst thing about this kind of trade isn’t just picking the wrong direction, but stubbornly holding on despite being wrong. The more you hold, the worse it gets. In the end, it’s not the market that yields to you, but forced liquidation that teaches you a lesson. If you really want to play, first decide how much you can afford to lose. If you can’t hold, admit it early. Don’t wait for your position to stop you out on its own. Keeping some ammo is more useful than being stubborn.
