#沃什今晚亮相杰克逊霍尔，能否明确政策框架？
Tonight's three scenarios and their direct impact on BTC:
🦅 Scenario 1: Hawkish stance (most institutional bets, like Apollo, etc.) — clearly "no ruling out rate hikes," reprimanding the Treasury's intervention in the bond market → stronger dollar, rising US Treasury yields, short-term pressure on risk assets, BTC unlikely to remain unaffected.
🕊️ Scenario 2: Continue evasive talk (equally likely) — extensive discussion on "Fed reform framework" and "division of responsibilities with the Treasury," no clear direction on interest rates → market prices as is, crypto market returns to its own rhythm, neutral impact.
⚡ Scenario 3: Unexpected dovish tone — emphasizing employment risks, acknowledging inflation is easing → improved liquidity expectations, BTC/gold/growth stocks all benefit. But given his 3-month silence style, the market assigns only an 8% chance of "explicit rate cuts."
The final underlying thread, more important than rates: Basent's Treasury repo has already stirred the bond market, with $40 trillion in public debt pressure, the White House wants low rates, the Fed wants independence — if Walsh tonight clearly draws the "Fed vs Treasury" boundary, the dollar credit narrative will add new variables. This is the real mid-to-long-term story for BTC as an "off-system scarce asset." $BTC Wash will speak in half an hour, what should brothers pay the most attention to? $BTC
Federal Reserve Chair Wash will deliver his first Jackson Hole keynote speech since taking office. Core PCE inflation in July was 3.3%, higher than expected, with about a 40% chance of a rate hike in September. Tonight's focus is: Will Wash be hawkish or not?
Three possible scenarios:
Hawkish (bearish): If Wash hints at preparing to raise rates due to high inflation, or emphasizes the Fed's independence and distance from the Treasury, Treasury yields will rise, the dollar will strengthen, and Bitcoin and gold will be suppressed. BTC, which just broke 80,000, may retest 75,000 or even lower.
Dovish (bullish): If he tacitly allows the Treasury to intervene in the bond market to lower long-term rates, or only talks about structural issues without clear guidance, the market will interpret it as a "liquidity" signal, and BTC is expected to rise 2%-4%, pushing to 81,500-83,000.
Ambiguous (most likely): Wash has always disliked forward guidance and once said "the bond market should interpret data on its own." Most likely, he will only talk about reform frameworks without giving clear commitments. This "non-commitment" itself may be interpreted by the market as dovish.
My judgment: Wash personally holds over $100 million in crypto assets and clearly opposes CBDCs, so he is not an enemy of the crypto industry. But as Fed Chair, he cannot "liquefy" for the crypto circle. Tonight is more likely to be a "no conclusion" speech—there will be volatility, but directional signals will be hard to come by.
Volatility will be greatly amplified before and after the speech, coupled with today's options expiration, the probability of a double kill for bulls and bears is not low. Don't bet on direction; wait for the speech to land and the market to digest it before making moves The news is no longer reliable, the noise is too chaotic, so BTC should be directly analyzed based on the order book's underlying funds. On-chain, a giant whale address that has been dormant for over two years transferred about two thousand BTC near 78200 to a derivatives platform, but there was no corresponding selling pressure in the order book. The perpetual funding rate remains around 0.003, showing no signs of overheating. This looks more like low-level price suppression for turnover rather than liquidation. The naked candlestick on the 4-hour chart formed a double bottom around 76800, rebounded and broke through 78500, then retested without falling below it. Around 79300 has become a short-term watershed. I just finished delivering to an old community without an elevator; sweat was still dripping on the screen coming down from the sixth floor. The intraday chip accumulation shows a liquidity gap between 79800 and 80500, which, once volume increases and holds steady, can quickly be filled. In terms of operation, if the pullback between 78800 and 79000 does not break, go long with a stop loss below 78400. The first target is 80500, and if it breaks through, look to 81500. If it directly falls below 78400, it indicates a failed support, invalidating the bullish logic. Then retreat to around 76000 and wait for signals.

#OKX预言家：豪门联赛、LCK与F1预测进行中
@OKX星球 BTC重回80800，那位40倍杠杆的大哥终于从爆仓边缘爬回来了 昨天还悬在清算线上的人，今天账面浮盈已经有146万美元，你觉得他敢止盈吗？ 我盯链上数据的时候看到这一幕，心里其实挺复杂的。这不是普通散户的仓位，是那位知名巨鲸，BTC多单40倍杠杆，名义仓位8744万美元，开仓价79449，清算价72419。BTC这一根大阳线拉上来，直接把他从地狱门口拽回了人间。 但我要说点大家可能没注意到的细节。 这个人的账户结构很有意思，不是一个赌徒式的单押，而是一个有策略的阶梯布局： - BTC 40倍杠杆，名义仓位8744万，目前浮盈约146万 - ETH 25倍杠杆，名义仓位5740万，开仓价2392，清算价2159，浮盈约218万 - HYPE 10倍杠杆，名义仓位1939万，浮盈约37万 - PUMP 10倍杠杆，名义仓位1469万，浮盈约19万 - ENA 10倍杠杆，仓位很小，基本可以忽略 总共浮盈约420万美元，但重点不是这个数字，而是他的行为模式。 他经历了近500次清算，依然坚持不撤一分利润，所有浮盈继续滚仓加仓。这种操作风格，本质上是在跟市场对赌波动节奏，赌的是趋势延续而不是The overall market rose broadly today, with most mainstream coins following the upward trend, while $SOL showed particularly restrained performance, with a pullback significantly smaller than similar assets, consistently holding above the $100 integer mark 🧐. This relative strength mainly comes from a highly anticipated "dual deflation" proposal, which is currently at a critical stage of community voting.
A closer look at the market reveals that $SOL's firmness today, resonating with the broader market rally, has actually priced in the expectation of the proposal passing in advance, showing clear signs of front-running. If the voting results fall short of expectations, considering the current price lacks sufficient adjustment, it may trigger a more intense corrective decline 📉. However, based on current support rates, the probability of the proposal passing is relatively high. After the positive news is realized, the market usually needs time to digest the gains, so the risk of a pullback from high levels should not be ignored.
At the current price level, shorting directly around $104 is not very cost-effective. If the price can inertia rally to the $105-106 range, then gradually establishing short positions would offer a higher safety margin. The market always seeks balance between expectations and reality; patiently waiting for a better entry point is often more effective than frequent trading.
Risk warning: Proposal results and market sentiment can change rapidly. Please control your position size and manage risks properly.最近圈子里流传着一张截图，某位知名博主的总收益率定格在负的百分之九十九点六一，累计亏损金额高达五百八十万。这个数字摆在眼前，多少让人有些唏嘘，也难怪评论区里一片问号，大家都在猜他是不是真的“亏完了”🤔。 翻看他的操作轨迹，其实是一条非常典型的路径：先是重仓做空比特币和以太坊，结果在行情拉升中遭遇连环爆仓；随后画风一转，开始追多这两个主流币种，有趣的是，目前这些多单居然全部处于盈利状态。这前后的反差，确实耐人寻味。 从这笔实盘记录里，我们能读出几层信息。第一，当前市场的趋势力量非常强，无论你在哪个位置追多，只要方向对了，耐心持有似乎都能等到浮盈。这种“闭眼买都赚”的氛围，恰恰是牛市情绪高涨时最直观的注脚。第二，这位博主敢于在爆仓后立刻调转方向，且仓位依然开得很大，甚至不显示强平价格，说明他的账户体量远超普通散户，那五百八十万的亏损或许只是他整个资金盘中的一小部分。 不过，越是这种看似“稳赢”的行情，越要警惕背后的脆弱性。市场情绪的切换往往就在一夜之间，今天对多头有多温柔，明天就可能对杠杆资金有多残酷。那位博主此刻的盈利单，能否撑过下一次剧烈波动，谁也说不好。毕竟，在衍生品市场里，浮盈只Ethena has proposed multiple tokenomics adjustment plans, including repurchasing locked tokens from investors, reducing VC bridge financing, advancing fee conversion and repurchase programs, etc. These proposals received 100% community support, and $ENA directly hit a new high for the year.
This is not a generic altcoin rally. Ajian believes Ethena is simultaneously addressing both supply measurement and value capture, avoiding the common mistake many projects make by focusing on only one aspect—for example, repurchasing without handling unlocking, or handling unlocking without token revenue rights. That's why $ENA's price reaction is so significant; the market has already priced in the VC bridge relief and repurchase expectations in this wave.
The next steps recommended for everyone to watch are: when implementation will occur, how much revenue will be allocated, where the repurchase funds will come from, and how the locked tokens will ultimately be handled. Until the documents are finalized, do not equate the proposals with actual cash flow #沃什今晚亮相杰克逊霍尔，能否明确政策框架？
Tonight's Jackson Hole highlight: It's not about hawks or doves, but ending the market guessing game
At 10 PM tonight, new Federal Reserve Chair Wash will deliver his first public speech at Jackson Hole since taking office.
What the market really cares about is not simply hawkish or dovish signals.
It's about ending the current chaotic situation of blindly guessing market trends, policies, and expectations.
This speech is very critical, essentially Wash's first official tone-setting and communication repair with the market.
The current macro landscape is quite contradictory.
July core PCE year-on-year is 3.3%, still far from the 2% inflation target, so pressure remains.
At the same time, initial jobless claims have fallen, employment remains strong, showing no signs of weakening.
Plus, the 10-year US Treasury yield remains stuck at multi-year highs, the overall environment does not support easing.
Moreover, several Fed officials have already publicly stated that the current 3.50%-3.75% rate range is even somewhat accommodative, implying room for further hikes.
The market's biggest uncertainties now focus on three things.
First, Wash has scrapped the traditional forward guidance on rates, effectively leaving no official policy framework.
The market has no clue which data increases will trigger hikes or under what conditions they will pause. Tonight he must provide clear criteria, or the market will remain volatile and guessing.
Second, the Treasury has recently taken significant action, doubling the scale of long-term bond repurchases.
The fiscal side has deeply intervened in the long bond market; everyone is watching whether the Fed will be led by the Treasury, how responsibilities are divided, and whether the Fed can maintain independence. This directly affects future US debt and dollar pricing.
Third, the source of current inflation is unclear.
Oil prices have stabilized above $90, combined with massive ongoing capital expenditure in the AI sector, the market can't tell if this is a short-term shock or long-term structural inflation.
Wash's characterization tonight will directly determine the interest rate pricing logic for the next six months.
A simple projection of three possible market scenarios tonight.
If he clearly defines the policy framework and fiscal boundaries with a hawkish stance,
US bonds and the dollar will likely rise, while gold and Bitcoin will come under direct pressure, and previous depreciation trades will recede.
If he is vague throughout, avoiding specific rules and only speaking empty words,
market uncertainty will remain high, volatility won't stop, US bond yields will continue rising, the dollar will weaken, and gold and BTC will keep benefiting from depreciation expectations.
If he focuses on long-term narratives, discussing AI, productivity, and long-term economic structure without addressing short-term rates,
that would be a neutral outcome, with no new guidance, basically maintaining the current trend with relatively limited volatility.
Notably, the market has already started to move ahead.
Bitcoin has risen over 28% this month, firmly above 81,000.
Gold is even more dramatic, surging nearly 14% this month.
The entire market is currently trading on expectations of a weaker dollar and monetary easing.
But a critical hidden risk:
If Wash's speech tonight fails to provide a credible framework balancing inflation and financial stability, this current broad "depreciation trade" rally will be repriced, and the market could face a correction at any time.
Ultimately, tonight is not about obsessing over whether there will be a rate hike in September.
The real core is: in the new Fed era, the market will finally have a stable reference standard.
Before this, all market moves are emotional games.
$BTC $XAU BTC keeps rising, why has it stopped going up?
I still haven't closed my short position at 81,000! Honestly, I can't even remember how many times BTC surged past 80,000 only to slip back down quietly. ETH can't even hold above 2500, I’m done pretending with the upcoming market.
Right now, it's all a frenzy driven by FOMO, but with repeated false breakouts, market patience will wear thin. Time favors the bears; when sentiment reverses, that will be the signal for the bears to counterattack.
The fundamentals are even worse: this year, the CLARITY Act’s approval rate has plummeted to 14% (it was 38% a month ago), and five insider addresses on POLY are heavily betting "no" with similar tactics—those who know, know. Without legislative backing, what will BTC use to break 100,000? ETH breaking 3000? $SOL hitting 200 is just a daydream. Is this the bears’ dying fantasy or the last distribution by the main players?
Tonight, the Jackson Hole speech will set the tone; AI dividends are shifting from hardware to software, combined with options expiration battles, macro is full of signposts. BTC’s sharp rise and fall is obvious—don’t chase the highs to fuel it. Lock in your base BTC/ETH holdings, keep enough cash ready to buy the dip, survive the bull market by being cautious. The truth will be revealed soon! #沃什 #BTC #ETH触及2500美元后震荡 Last night, SanDisk staged a textbook "gap-up sell-off." How are those who caught the falling knife holding up?
Last night (8/27) at the U.S. market open, SanDisk (SNDK) gave everyone a lesson:
NVIDIA reported revenue of $96.2 billion, up 106% year-over-year, and gave guidance a year ahead; Kioxia and SanDisk announced a joint investment of 5 trillion yen—double blockbuster positive news, pushing the pre-market up 5%.
And the result? Opened up 3.3% (1,549) → surged to 1,549 → surged to 1,558 → huge volume sell-off breaking 1,500 → lowest at 1,500 → lowest at 1,456, with a 6.8% swing and nearly $5 billion in volume. Double positive news, but closed in the red.
This is a classic "gap-up sell-off day": the bigger the good news, the easier it is for big money to exit. On Monday, SanDisk was already down 9% (rumors of Apple sourcing Chinese memory chips), last night was the second round of stress testing.
Remember three points:
① For stocks that gap up more than 3%, watch the selling pressure in the first 30 minutes before deciding whether to chase
② If you enter below the intraday average price, you’ll be stuck all day
③ The right move on a sell-off day is to wait and see, not to bottom-fish
Did you enter last night? Share your stop-loss level in the comments. (Data as of 8/27 U.S. market intraday, not investment advice) $SNDK $SNDK
Even though the stock price surged by as much as 3,105% over the past year, the data is very counterintuitive; it is still "undervalued" relative to its peers.
Micron Technology $MU has a slightly higher P/E ratio than SanDisk, at 21 times, but its growth rate also lags behind SanDisk.
Although such annual gains make everyone want to short for a revenge rally in the short term, considering its overall value, it’s more practical to short other concept tech stocks.
Mainly pay attention to the price (if you really want to trade SanDisk since high volatility offers more opportunities): if it can retake 1,500, call hedging might actually drive the price up.$SNDK Why am I not in a hurry to enter SanDisk tonight?
Today it's not because the company's fundamentals suddenly worsened or there is bad news, but because the sector is cutting valuations. Although Marvell's earnings and guidance are good, its stock price fell sharply, and then AI storage stocks like SanDisk, Micron, and Lumentum were dragged down together.
So tonight SNDK is very likely to experience: index and AI sector sentiment impacting the storage sector and then affecting SNDK in this linkage.
Moreover, there is also the macro variable of the Federal Reserve Chair's speech at Jackson Hole tonight. Tech stocks in the US market are prone to significant intraday volatility today, so there is no rush for now.
If there is a direction and position, Brother Bai will share it immediately
#沃什今晚亮相杰克逊霍尔，能否明确政策框架？ #财报观察员：AI需求从硬件扩散至软件 #BTC冲高回落，期权到期放大关口博弈 $NVDA $MU $SNDK
Brothers, take a look at SanDisk before the market opens.
Closed at 1499, pre-market directly dropped to around 1453, down 2.5%. Yesterday it surged nearly 9 points, but today a bearish candle in pre-market took back quite a bit.
News:
Kioxia and SanDisk announced plans to invest over $31 billion in Japan, continuing until 2032, mainly for expansion of the Yokkaichi and Kitakami factories. Traditionally, expansion is considered bearish, but the market now interprets it as "extreme confidence in future demand," so it’s being treated as a bullish catalyst. Moody’s also upgraded SanDisk’s corporate family rating from B1 to Ba1 with a stable outlook.
However, weakness in pre-market is also a fact. Not just SanDisk, Micron, Western Digital, SK Hynix, and Seagate all fell over 2%, the entire storage sector cooled off collectively. Pre-market liquidity is thin, and the hot money that chased the rally yesterday is cashing out today, amplifying the decline. Two reasons: one is Nvidia siphoning off a large amount of liquidity, the other is profit-taking after the positive news hit the market. SanDisk is less attractive to me than before. The trends for Bitcoin and Ethereum are clear and directional, making them easier to trade.
SanDisk still has the same problem — high volatility and emotional swings, with no clear logic behind the ups and downs. So the right attitude is necessary: trade cautiously and set stop losses properly.
The best strategy is to wait for a pullback after the market opens before entering. Whether it goes up or down today, it will definitely give a retracement opportunity in the short term. The profit margin might not be great if you misjudge the trend, but it’s stable. If you’re interested in SanDisk, you can watch for the post-open pullback range to enter trades; this approach should help you.I really don't understand this market.
I took a spin around the community today and almost thought I had traveled through time.
Jiang Zhuoer is shouting, "ETH ETF inflows hit new highs again, the high-level consolidation with continuously raised lows is relatively stable, ready to explode short positions upward at any time."
Someone else said, "US spot ETF net inflows last week were $697 million, the strongest single-week inflow since 2026."
Others are shouting, "ETH returns to $2500, maintaining above this level means a trend reversal."
Each piece of news is more intense than the last, and the screenshots are flashier.
Looking at all these bullish statements, I almost started doubting if I was reading the market wrong.
But what about the price?
ETH is currently at 2497, down 0.94% in 24 hours. It has been grinding down from 2535 to 2497, neither going up nor down.
All kinds of positive news have been shouted for over two weeks, yet the price is still hovering around 2500.
Do you really think this looks like a breakout?
As for me, the more I watch, the more something feels off.
Let's look at a more intriguing data point.
Data from August 28 shows ETH's two weighted funding rates are 0.0027% and 0.0039%, both in bearish territory.
Less than a week ago, ETH was in bullish territory, now it has directly fallen back to bearish. The contract market's pricing power over ETH is shifting.
What does it mean when "the news is bullish but the contract market prices it bearish"?
Also, those saying the market will break 80,000, today BTC is at $79,564, up only 1.24% in 24 hours.
The market is stuck near $80,000; BTC can't rise, so ETH will hardly thrive alone.
That analysis said a 30% weekly rise from 1900 straight to 2530, but the daily RSI has reached 75 in the overbought zone, and funding rates turned positive to an annualized 11%.
Is this a just-started main upward wave?
No, this is a high-level digestion phase. Also, the 2500-2550 range has been tested three times without breaking through.
The more news there is without a price rise, that itself is a signal.
Those who should buy have already bought, those who should shout have shouted, now it's just waiting for a direction.
As an altcoin trader, I've seen too many of these "bullish bombardments with a stagnant market" scripts, and they all end with a sudden crash.
The more news there is without a price rise, that itself is a signal.

#BTC冲高回落，期权到期放大关口博弈 $xSNDK Tonight's NVDA close is crucial!
24h decline -4.85%, underlying SNDK closed at $1484.95 on August 27, down -0.96%, discount -1.42%, overall risk controllable.
Before last night's $xNVDA earnings release, SanDisk pre-market once rose over 4%.
But NVDA weakened after hours, dropping 3%, directly dragging down the entire storage sector.
Today xSNDK opened down -4.85%, equivalent to factoring in last night's weak US stock market performance.
The fundamental logic has not changed.
The long-term contract narrative released on August 14 during Investor Day still holds, with gross margin at 80%, operating profit margin at 75%, locking in a minimum revenue of 93.9 billion, plus a 15.5 billion stock repurchase plan.
Wall Street institutions' average target price is $2125, corresponding to an upside potential of 41.73%, with a cumulative increase of 518% year-to-date.
Tonight's performance of NVDA in the US market will be an important indicator.
If NVDA falls back 3-5%, SanDisk will likely follow and weaken synchronously.
We need to wait until the US market closes tonight; xSNDK will only show a clear direction tomorrow.
From an operational perspective, those entering in the 1500-1700 range need not panic excessively.
Today's pullback mainly comes from emotional disturbance caused by NVDA's earnings report, not from any fundamental issues with SanDisk itself.
If you want to add positions, you can wait for a pullback to the $1300-1400 range before considering.
It is not recommended to blindly chase before NVDA's US market close tonight.
Wait until tomorrow's Asian session to observe the linkage direction among SK Hynix, MU, and SNDK, then make subsequent judgments. $SKHYNIX BTC holding near $79,430 while ETH is flat and SOL only modestly firmer suggests positioning is cautious, not convincingly risk-on. The market looks more like it is absorbing the BTC options expiry test than beginning a broad breakout.
My bias is that macro headlines around Hormuz and the contrast between gold and BTC ETF flows will matter more than small intraday moves. Until participation widens beyond BTC, I would treat strength as consolidation rather than a durable expansion in risk appetite.
Not advice, just analysis.Today is a big day for crypto.
Not because $BTC is hovering near $80,000. Not because $ETH is still arguing with $2,500. Those levels already told you the market is waiting. The event is Warsh at Jackson Hole, 10 AM ET.
That speech is the first real policy tell since this range got built. Markets have September priced at 66.3% chance of a pause and 33.7% chance of a hike. That is not a market that knows. That is a market split enough to whip both ways on a single paragraph.
So the setup is not complicated. It is violent.
If Warsh sounds dovish inflation cooling, no rush to tighten, room for easier conditions risk gets permission. BTC can reclaim $80k and stay there. ETH can stop leaking under $2,500 and look at $2,530 again. Alts that have been probing can actually follow.
If he sounds hawkish inflation still too sticky, financial conditions not tight enough, hike still on the table the range breaks the other way. BTC tests $79k first. ETH loses $2,480 and $2,400 comes back into the conversation. The names that only pumped because BTC looked strong get sold first.
The dangerous version is the mixed one. Soft headline, hard details. One sentence that gives bulls a candle, then a line that takes it back. That is how both sides get cleaned on a Fed day. Pump into the speech, dump through the stops, or the reverse.
This is why the last 24 hours felt stuck. ETF bid was there. Options expiry already printed this morning. Price still refused to choose. It was waiting for this.
I am not treating 66.3% as safety. A “pause” price can still sell off if the chair talks like a hike is coming later. I am not treating 33.7% as certain doom either. Markets fade the first reaction as often as they follow it.
What I am treating as certain is volatility.
Watch the language, not the first tick. Watch yields. Watch whether BTC can hold $80k after the words land, not during them. ETH will tell you faster if the bid was real or just borrowed.
Big day. Two roads. Don’t let the first candle make the decision for you. At 22:00 Beijing time tonight, Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Walsh will deliver his first keynote speech since taking office at the Jackson Hole Global Central Bank Annual Meeting. The reason for the high attention is:
1. High inflation and rising expectations of rate hikes.
The current federal funds rate is 3.75%, with three dissenters supporting a rate hike at the July meeting. Core PCE inflation is at 3.3%, overall PCE at 3.7%, well above the 2% target. CME data shows about a 40% chance of a rate hike in September—the market is discussing not rate cuts, but whether another rate hike will be forced.
Walsh's "communication deficit" issue. Since taking office, Walsh's style has been mysterious—he dislikes forward guidance and is reluctant to make forecasts. The July press conference was widely criticized as a "communication failure" due to vague remarks, triggering the most severe bond market sell-off in years, with the 30-year US Treasury yield soaring to its highest since 2007. Tonight is seen as a key window for him to restore credibility.
---
2. Three scenarios and market impact simulations
Scenario 1: Hawkish (probability about 30-40%)
Walsh clearly states readiness to hike rates if inflation remains high, emphasizing determination to fight inflation.
Assets Possible reactions
US stocks Growth stocks with high valuations (especially tech stocks) under pressure, S&P 500 may experience severe volatility
Cryptocurrency BTC fluctuates 2-3% bidirectionally, expected around 80,500
US bonds Short-term rates rise, yield curve flattens
US dollar Strengthens
Gold Short-term pullback
Scenario 2: Dovish (probability about 7-16%)
Walsh only discusses structural issues (productivity, demographics, payment innovation), signaling no rate hike.
Assets Possible reactions
US stocks Likely to gain new upward momentum
Cryptocurrency BTC expected to rise 2-4%, moving toward 83,000
US bonds Long-term yields decline
Scenario 3: Ambiguous/Avoidance (probability about 45-53%, market baseline expectation)
Walsh repeats vague remarks, replaying the July scenario. Bank of America survey shows 53% of respondents expect a neutral speech. Standard Chartered warns: if no guidance is given, the market will "react very badly."
Assets Possible reactions
US stocks Uncertainty premium rises, volatility intensifies
Cryptocurrency Possible "fakeout"—spikes up and down then returns to original level
US bonds 30-year yield may be pushed to 5.5% or higher
Gold Benefits from intensified depreciation trades and continues to strengthen
---
3. Current market pricing and key observation points
Before the speech, Bitcoin is about 2,490; S&P 500 futures basically flat, Nasdaq futures down 0.3%; 30-year US Treasury yield about 5.19%.
Polymarket bets show: 70% probability of holding rates steady in September, 29% betting on a 25 basis point hike.
Four key details the market cares about:
1. Under what conditions will Walsh adjust rates? (policy reaction mechanism)
2. Is a rate hike still an option? (rate tool positioning)
3. Is the surge in long-term yields a "desirable phenomenon" or a "risk premium"? (qualitative assessment of bond market volatility)
4. Is the 2% inflation target unchanged? (inflation target anchoring)
---
4. Comprehensive judgment
Most likely scenario: Walsh is between hawkish and ambiguous—leaving the possibility of a rate hike but making no commitment, holding rates steady in September. If core PCE remains above 3%, a hike in Q4 or early 2027 becomes possible.
If there is an unexpected outcome: clear hawkish → short-term pressure on tech stocks and crypto markets; clear dovish → risk assets rebound; ambiguous again → bond market may "punish" Walsh first, then transmit to all risk assets.
Tonight's speech is not just about "saying something," but a critical test of whether Walsh can rebuild market trust with a coherent, verifiable policy framework.
#沃什今晚亮相杰克逊霍尔，能否明确政策框架？ To summarize the current situation between the US and Iran, simply put, Trump wants to use his allies to exert final pressure on Iran, seeking opportunities and initiative in negotiations. The premise is that the likelihood of the US taking action against Iran in the near future is very low, as Trump himself and the US military have already confirmed. But facing a hardline Iran, how can the US force Iran back to the negotiating table and gain the initiative? The situation is simple: economic sanctions are leveraged. The U.S. unilateral sanctions are insufficient, and Trump wants to mobilize U.S.-affiliated allies to impose comprehensive sanctions on Iran. Trump does not want to negotiate with Iran, but what he hopes is that Iran will yield and negotiate with the U.S. under the "barrel of the gun." Trump directly rejected the 60-day ceasefire agreement, which was a condition set by the previous memorandum of understanding. Trump does not want to fully implement it, as many of these are just empty promises. Iran not only demands full implementation but also adds additional conditions and has established political and practical control and regulation over the Strait of Hormuz. Given this situation, I don't know if Trump will change his strategic direction, but I can be sure that if economic sanctions still fail, Trump will basically have no "cards" available. Clearly, this issue is not solely a one-sided problem by the US or Iran. To start negotiations, Iran needs to downgrade the terms and the US to slow down its stance. Regional mediators are well aware of this, so recently Qatar and other mediators have frequently communicated with Iran, becoming a bridge for communication between the US and Iran. #伊朗开放临时航道, the US refuses to restore the old agreement. In my view, it wants to facilitate negotiationsJackson Hole (Wash) Speech, Complete Analysis of US Stocks + Crypto Circle
Current Background: Core PCE inflation stickiness, very close to the September FOMC meeting; tonight's speech key focus: inflation stance, how long high interest rates will be maintained, whether to keep the option of rate hikes, directly repricing US Treasury yields, US tech stocks, memory chips, BTC/ETH all disturbed
Scenario 1: Hawkish Bias (Higher Probability)
Speech Keywords: Inflation still has upside risks, high interest rates maintained longer, no ruling out further hikes, insist on data-driven approach, reject easing signals.
1. US Stocks: US Treasury yields rise, dollar strengthens. Nasdaq, AI chip stocks, memory sector (Hynix, SanDisk) under pressure and pull back; value and defensive sectors relatively resilient. Growth stock valuations compressed.
2. Crypto Circle:
BTC under pressure testing 74800 support, ETH testing 2240. If BlackRock ETF can still maintain net inflows, it can buffer some of the decline; once ETF inflows weaken, the correction will deepen.
Altcoins (SOL, ZEC) fall much more than BTC, large-scale contract liquidations.
Market: prone to rapid dips, Friday options expiry further amplifies volatility.
Scenario 2: Neutral Balance (Secondary Probability)
Speech Keywords: Acknowledge stubborn inflation while seeing economic weakening; no rate hike signals, no rate cut signals, all left to subsequent data, no clear path given.
1. US Stocks: After sharp fluctuations in US Treasuries and dollar, convergence; Nasdaq and chip sectors fluctuate widely with no clear one-way direction, market awaits upcoming nonfarm payroll and inflation data.
2. Crypto Circle:
BTC, ETH maintain current large range oscillation 74800-80000, 2240-2500. Speech moment may cause stop-loss hunting spikes up and down, typical buy the rumor sell the fact, high chance of pullback after spike, hard to start a breakout rally directly.
Altcoins short-term pulses, no sustainability.
Scenario 3: Super-Expectations Dovish (Low Probability)
Speech Keywords: Emphasize economic and employment downside risks, inflation pressure controllable, hint at excluding rate hikes in September, release future easing window.
1. US Stocks: US Treasury yields fall, dollar weakens; Nasdaq, Nvidia, memory chips collectively rebound, growth stock valuations recover.
2. Crypto Circle:
BTC attempts to reclaim 80000, challenges 81500-83000 resistance; ETH challenges 2500-2550. Requires spot volume + ETF funds cooperation, volume-less spike still a false breakout.
High beta altcoins collectively rebound, elasticity fully released.
Current Market Real Constraints
1. ETF is the most important buffer in crypto: same hawkish speech, if ETF continues net inflows, correction is controllable; if ETF outflows simultaneously, it evolves into a mid-level correction.
2. On-chain dormant wallet selling pressure is secondary; macro liquidity priority > on-chain signals.
3. Special timing on Friday: speech coincides with weekly options expiry, then immediately weekend, bank fiat channels close, weekend liquidity poor, spikes and false breakouts increase, do not treat weekend low liquidity prices as trend confirmation.
Key Observation Signals
1. Speech original keywords: inflation risk, high interest rates maintained longer, whether to keep rate hike option.
2. Synchronous indicators: 2-year US Treasury yield, US dollar index.
3. BTC/ETH spot ETF fund flows.
4. Key price levels: BTC support 74800; ETH support 2240.
Summary
Tonight's speech will not directly change the long-term major trend but will reprice September Fed expectations.
• Hawkish: US tech stocks pull back, crypto tests key supports;
• Neutral: entire market remains volatile, bulls and bears both active;
• Dovish: risk assets see repair rebound.
Even if short-term sharp volatility occurs, true trend confirmation requires watching funds and closing prices 1-2 trading days after the speech ends, do not be misled by momentary spikes.
#沃什今晚亮相杰克逊霍尔，能否明确政策框架？ ETH is about to take off, and the key depends on these data points!
Recently, ETH's trend has become interesting. The price has returned to around $2500, but compared to BTC, ETH's strength still needs further confirmation.
My current judgment on ETH is: moderately bullish in the mid-term, cautious in the short term.
What will truly impact ETH next is not just the candlestick charts, but U.S. macroeconomic data.
Pay special attention to the September 4th Nonfarm Payrolls, September 10th PPI, September 11th CPI, and the Federal Reserve meetings on September 15-16. If employment weakens and inflation cools down, market expectations for rate cuts will rise, and high Beta assets like ETH could benefit significantly.
Conversely, if inflation again exceeds expectations, and the dollar and U.S. Treasury yields continue to strengthen, ETH will face considerable short-term pressure.
So what I’m most focused on now is not how much ETH can rise, but:
After BTC stabilizes, can ETH start to outperform BTC?
If ETH/BTC begins to reverse, and capital and trading volume follow, that will be a truly significant signal.
Whether ETH can break out this round depends heavily on the data in September. $ETH Last night, news spread quickly: California AB 2409 has passed both houses of the state legislature and is only awaiting the governor's signature. Many people saw "ban on Meme coins" and immediately thought California was preparing a blanket ban.
Actually, it's not that extreme. This bill mainly regulates two things.
California public officials, as well as some employees with government contract decision-making authority, are prohibited from issuing Meme coins themselves. Digital asset platforms are also not allowed to list Meme coins issued after January 1, 2027, that are launched or co-launched by U.S. federal, state, or local public officials to California residents.
Ordinary people issuing dog coins or cat coins are not the main targets of this crackdown. Existing coins like DOGE and SHIB will not be automatically delisted because of this bill.
From a market perspective, this news has little short-term impact on $BTC and $ETH, and it is not directly negative for the entire Meme sector. The first to be affected will be political coins that want to replicate the $TRUMP model in the future, as well as centralized platforms willing to provide trading access for these coins.
On-chain transactions are obviously hard to completely block. Once tokens are issued, they can still be transferred and may appear on decentralized exchanges. Regulation is easier to enforce on platform access for California users, including listing, purchasing, and account services.
The bill is still waiting for the governor's signature. Only after signing will it be enforced according to the final text. For ordinary Meme coin players, there is no need to scare themselves right now.
#沃什今晚亮相杰克逊霍尔，能否明确政策框架？ First of all, what is Jackson Hole❓ It is essentially not a “Fed meeting.” There are no votes, no interest rate decisions, no rate hike or cut buttons. It is actually: an annual closed-door academic symposium hosted by the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City for top central bankers and economists worldwide. The official history dates back to 1978. Now, only about 120 people attend each year, including: major central bank governors worldwide, Federal Reserve officials, treasury officials, top economists, representatives from international institutions like the IMF and BIS, and financial institution personnel. Moreover, it is not a large financial expo with thousands sitting in a hall listening to speeches; it is quite small in scale and has a strong “policy circle internal discussion” nature. Against the current backdrop of the U.S. economy facing “stagflation” risks, with inflation high on one side and economic slowdown on the other, will Fed Chair Waller’s debut at Jackson Hole continue to be vague and muddled? Or will he speak plainly and set the tone❓ 🎯 Tonychoo’s baseline scenario prediction: “Inflation remains the Fed’s top priority, but structural changes brought by AI/productivity deserve reassessment; current policy remains restrictive, the Fed will not pre-commit to future rate cuts or hikes, and will continue to judge based on data.” Translated into plain language: “I’m not ready to announce what we’ll do in September tonight, but don’t rush to bet that the Fed will immediately ease.” This is: 🦅 70% hawkish wording ⚖️ 30% leaving a backdoor for the economy and markets 🦢 But I think there might be a “black swan scenario” tonight if Waller suddenly🚨 Bitcoin is standing at the exact level where the last two cycles broke down.
Three cycles. Same setup. 👀
2018: +47% from the June low → breaks the Bull Market Support Band → rejected at the 50W SMA → new Q4 low.
2022: +46% from the January low → breaks the band → rejected at the 50W SMA → new Q4 low.
2026: +40% from the June low → band already broken → now sitting right on the 50W SMA at $81,088.
And here’s the scary part…
#DailyOrbit Options whales are forcing you off the ride, and the Fed Chair is delivering the finishing blow
At 4 PM, $BTC options worth 6.4 billion USD will expire and settle.
Many see more call options than put options and become blindly optimistic—don’t celebrate too early.
The biggest pain point for this BTC options expiry is at 68000, while the current price is 79000, a full 11000 points apart.
From the option sellers’ perspective, they hope the price crashes back to 68000 to wipe out a large number of long call options; meanwhile, option buyers desperately defend the 80000 level, continuing the upward battle.
Over 500 million USD worth of call positions are stacked in the 75000-80000 range, which is a powder keg ready to explode, likely causing violent fluctuations around the expiry.
In contrast, $ETH is much milder, with the biggest pain point at 2200, spot price at 2490, only a 300 USD difference, making the intensity of the battle much weaker compared to BTC.
Comparing the two, it’s clear that the side under more pressure and more anxious today is actually the BTC bulls.
On one hand, options expiry and institutional battles are stirring the market, trying every trick to force retail traders off; on the other hand, the Fed Chair’s speech is still pending, and macro news could strike again at any moment.
The double event overlap will sharply amplify short-term volatility, so avoid heavy directional bets and prioritize risk management.
⚠️This is only a personal market interpretation and does not constitute investment advice
$BTC $ETH $BTC
Those who missed this wave don't need to rush too much; bull markets never rise in a straight line.
Reviewing the start of the 2023 bull market, there were two clear pullback buying opportunities. Using @followin_io_zh mcp, I found the key driving events at that time:
One was the Federal Reserve rate hike combined with better-than-expected nonfarm payrolls, triggering a repricing of interest rates;
The other was the Silicon Valley Bank collapse, when Bitcoin briefly dropped below $20,000. The market feared a financial crisis, but it actually became one of the best entry points in this rally.
I believe similar events will occur going forward, giving us chances to buy the dip.
First is tonight's Jackson Hole meeting. If Fed Chair Powell's speech is more hawkish than expected, it could again pressure risk assets.
Second, on September 9, the U.S. Treasury will officially expand the scale of long-term Treasury buybacks. The policy has been announced in advance, and when implemented, it will likely bring positive effects and a pullback.
Get your cash ready; the market will definitely present opportunities. Tonight's crypto market will most likely hinge on Comrade Wash's words.
At 10 AM Eastern Time (22:00 tonight), Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Wash will deliver a keynote speech at Jackson Hole.
The name sounds like a remote hole, but it is actually the "Davos Forum" for global central bank governors. Every August, the Fed and top global macro leaders gather in this Wyoming valley.
Historically, the Fed loves to "launch surprise attacks" at this annual meeting to set the tone for monetary policy over the next six months.
Currently, on Polymarket, the betting proportions for the September rate decision are
70% probability of holding steady, i.e., pausing rate hikes; 29% of funds bet on a 25 basis point hike, and only about 1% bet on a rate cut.
So if tonight's script is dovish (matching the 70% expectation): signaling no rate hike, the boot drops, and the market is more likely to break upward.
If hawkish (triggering the 29% expectation): a tougher-than-expected stance is bearish, and crypto might dip first as a sign of respect.
Short-term traders fear Comrade Wash playing Tai Chi too much; if the stance is ambiguous, it’s more likely to be a familiar false breakout scenario.$BTC
First signs of weakness.
So far, this rally was driven by spot buying.
This, however, has now changed.
Spot CVD is declining while perps are pushing price higher.
This makes the move less sustainable and more vulnerable to leverage flushes.
We might see a pullback soon.Tonight, the US market core focuses on only 3 key points: the Fed, US Treasuries, and crude oil.
First: Warsh's Jackson Hole speech.
This is the biggest variable tonight. The 10-year US Treasury yield is currently about 4.69%, and the US dollar index is near 99. If the speech is hawkish:
Dollar ↑ + Yield ↑ → Increased pressure on gold, BTC, and tech stocks.
Conversely, if yields and the dollar both fall, gold, BTC, and Nasdaq are more likely to receive capital support.
Second: Whether BTC and gold can confirm together.
BTC is currently about $79,700, gold is near $4600. If after the speech we see:
Yield ↓ + Dollar ↓ + Gold ↑ + BTC ↑
It indicates the market is trading a looser financial environment.
If gold rises but long-term US Treasury yields also rise, it looks more like trading fiscal and dollar credit risk rather than a typical rate cut logic.
Third: Whether oil prices will reignite inflation.
Brent is about $88–89, WTI about $83. If Middle East supply risks push crude oil higher again, US Treasury yields may be driven again by inflation expectations.
Core judgment: Tonight, don’t just listen to what Warsh says; first watch how the dollar and 10-year US Treasuries move after his speech. These two markets will tell us whether gold, US stocks, and BTC should trade "tighter money" or "looser money" going forward.I believe the bottom is already in place.
Based on many reasons I have already shared.
But we have not yet "confirmed" it.
So let me tell you what I think our current status is, and the key factors needed for the bottom to be "confirmed."
There is a difference between believing the bottom is in place based on data resonance and actually obtaining confirmation.
Right now, the situation is off to a very good start in confirming the bottom, but a few more things need to happen.
Key points already solidified:
- Regaining the $67,000 level (local structure)
- Regaining the $74,400 high timeframe structure
- Regaining the 1-day 200 SMA+EMA (historically a strong confirmation of a new bull market trend).
- Regaining the 1-week 50 EMA (has always been a bottom confirmation signal)
- 1-day RSI reaching 85+ (never happened during bear market rebounds)
Remaining levels needing 100% confirmation:
- 1-week 50 SMA at $82,000
- 1-week Supertrend at $79,000 (needs a weekly close above)
- Solid higher low above $82,700
- Monthly higher high above $76,463
At this stage, Bitcoin has met 80% of the data needed to confirm the bottom.
However, to make this bottom indisputable, we need a close above $82,700.
This leaves us with several possible paths.
First, if this week we break above and rise past $82,000, then we will quickly surge to $90,000.
If we consolidate sideways below $82,700, then I expect a maximum drop to $75,000, and then ultimately we will still take out $82,700.
Achieving a monthly close above $76,463 within the next 3 days will greatly increase the probability of bottom confirmation.
At this stage, we are waiting for more factors to align, then the trend reversal will be undeniable.
So far, the start has been excellent; Bitcoin has regained those levels that have marked the end in all previous bear markets (200-day SMA+EMA = 1-week 50 EMA + 1-day RSI 85+).
This week/end of this month (roughly the same time), we will know more."August in the Past Decade of Bitcoin History"
Purely from the chart data perspective, the pattern is quite intuitive: August often serves as the "watershed" when the market shifts from consolidation to a one-sided trend.
Reviewing the performance across cycles:
Bull market start and main rise periods (2017, 2020, 2024): August generally closed with strong large bullish candles, or long lower shadows indicating a bottom test and rebound, directly igniting the Q4 market;
Bear market bottoming periods (2018, 2022, 2023): August mostly showed weak consecutive bearish candles, accelerating the retest of key moving averages to find the bottom;
Cycle peak periods (2021, 2025): August often experienced high-level stagnation or pressure with long upper shadows.
Based purely on historical candlestick patterns and cycle rhythms, August 2026 is very likely to fall into a similar startup phase rhythm, probably closing with a large bullish candle to confirm a rebound.
Without any subjective bias, this is purely a presentation of ten years of candlestick facts for analysis. Do you think this year's August close fits the historical script?$LIGHT I went long on this coin. This coin currently has a circulating market cap of about 9.3 million USD, but the total contract open interest across the network reaches as high as 23 million USD, more than twice the market cap. The big players have established a large number of long positions to manipulate it. The last time a coin had contract open interest more than twice its spot market cap was $TRB. Those who experienced TRB in 2024 know how wild it was. Capital rotation after Nvidia's earnings report was caught by the crypto circle
I am Xiao Ai, a cryptocurrency creator from OKX Planet. Recently, Nvidia's earnings report was indeed impressive, with a strong opening surge, but interestingly, AI hardware chains like Micron, SanDisk, and Hynix all plunged. A familiar script played out again: the leader benefits, capital rotates between highs and lows, high-level storage chips loosen, and profit-taking occurs on the back of good news.
Under this capital style shift, our crypto circle stands tall. BTC remains steady near the 80,000 mark, and ETH has also broken through 2,500. On the surface, it looks like a short squeeze driving the rally, but deeper down, institutions are quietly adjusting asset allocations. Spot ETFs have recently seen continuous net inflows, macro liquidity expectations have eased, combined with short covering, and buying momentum has pushed prices up.
However, we need to stay calm when watching the market. BTC slightly pulled back after the surge, with large options expiring concentratedly, amplifying the battle at key levels. Bulls and bears are fiercely contesting in the last few days, with frequent spikes. K33 data shows this rally contains a large short squeeze component, and as the squeeze effect weakens, the willingness to take profits at high levels is increasing.
Whether the market trend will recover or just experience a phase rebound depends on whether incremental funds can continue to absorb selling pressure at high levels. AI hardware divergence and non-sovereign assets taking over indicate the overall direction is correct, but short-term rhythm is changing. If BTC cannot hold near 80,000, a pullback and consolidation are normal.
Sharing views on US stock tokens for rational discussion, everyone please consider carefully. #BTC冲高回落，期权到期放大关口博弈 #AI基建融资升温，英伟达英特尔路径分化 $BTC Wash's Jackson Hole speech may become a key turning point for global assets, with the market's core focus on whether the Federal Reserve will continue to keep the option of rate hikes, which will reshape the dollar and U.S. Treasury yields as the macro pricing anchors for crypto assets.
Currently, core PCE inflation has not yet met the target, and internal policy disagreements within the Fed are increasing. If the speech leans hawkish and retains the possibility of rate hikes, the dollar and U.S. Treasury yields will rise, putting pressure on Bitcoin, Ethereum, leveraged assets like MSTR, and smaller coins like MEME, which will see larger pullbacks. ETFs may also experience capital outflows. If the rhetoric is ambiguous and maintains a data-dependent neutral stance, crypto is likely to enter a volatile, repeatedly spiking market, making it difficult to establish a sustained trend.
If dovish signals are released and the rate hike option is removed, crypto will likely rebound, but this does not directly equate to a major bull market.
It is important to note that although Wash is relatively friendly towards crypto innovation, controlling inflation remains the primary goal. Industry goodwill will not bring liquidity easing; macro factors aside, industry positives can only temporarily offset negatives. Key indicators to watch are the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield and the dollar index. Beware of false breakouts from news events, reduce leverage to cope with rising volatility. Tonight's speech is more about setting the tone for the September FOMC meeting; the real trend will depend on subsequent inflation and employment data.
I will share my operational strategy on the week; choosing wisely over just effort to stay on track!
#沃什今晚亮相杰克逊霍尔，能否明确政策框架？ #财报观察员：AI需求从硬件扩散至软件 DEFI TOKENS ARE FLYING BUT IS THE MOVE REAL?
BTC’s ~27% jump in 8 days sparked a major DeFi rally, with tokens like $ENA, $AAVE and $CVX outperforming BTC.
But here’s the catch: much of the move may be driven by short covering, leverage, low float and rising TVL not stronger fundamentals

But this type of verifiable reserve remains a very good observation window.

#财报观察员：AI需求从硬件扩散至软件
#BTC冲高回落，期权到期放大关口博弈 ETH, with less than one-fifth the size of Bitcoin (18.8%), managed to consume nearly as much ETF funds as BTC ($234 million vs. $242 million). This huge contrast in fund-attracting density sends a strong signal that institutional funds are tilting toward Ethereum. Core Data and Market Logic Breakdown Terrifying Capital Efficiency: The inflow ratio is 96.8%, indicating that institutional allocation demand for Ethereum has entered an accelerated phase, and the marginal effect of capital inflows is amplifying. Market Formation Poised for Release: "High-level consolidation with rising lows" is a typical sign of a bull market relay or breakout. Chips are repeatedly consolidated at key positions, while floating selling pressure is gradually eroded by a continuous stream of compliant incremental funds. Emotional tipping point: Even a top player who always focuses on risk control bluntly said, "If it weren't for trading discipline, I'd want to go long," indicating that from a professional trading perspective, the current profit-loss ratio and market structure are already very attractive. 8.28 ETH trading data over the past 20 days [2026/8/9] $ETH Change: +0.20% Amplitude: 0.77% Price: 1926.39 Turnover: 41,194,091.43 High: 1,927.24 Low: 1,912.41 [2026/8/10] $ETH Change: -2.56% Amplitude: 3.46% Price: 1,877.09 Turnover: 14,250,465.87 Highest price: 1$ETH Ether has long followed BTC closely; is there a day when they will suddenly part ways?
Conclusion first: There will definitely be phases of decoupling. This has happened many times historically, but most of the time it is only short-term divergence, and it is difficult for them to completely go in opposite directions for a long time.
Usually, BTC and ETH rise and fall highly in sync because both are influenced by macro factors such as Federal Reserve policies, overall market risk appetite, and capital flows. BTC is the market benchmark, and ETH passively follows. But their fundamental roles are completely different:
- BTC: Digital gold, simple narrative, mostly used by institutions for asset allocation and inflation hedging
- ETH: Smart contract public chain, pricing also affected by on-chain ecosystem, upgrades, RWA, DeFi, separate regulatory news, and ETH-ETF specific capital flows
Independent price movements generally occur in these four scenarios:
1. Standalone positive catalysts: such as major ETH upgrades, RWA sector booms, or huge single-day net inflows into ETH-ETF, even if BTC is sideways, ETH surges on its own.
2. Standalone negative shocks: regulations targeting the Ethereum ecosystem alone, where BTC remains unaffected but ETH falls independently.
3. Market style rotation: capital flows out of defensive BTC into growth-oriented public chains, entering a small bull rotation, with the ETH/BTC ratio steadily rising.
4. Extreme liquidity crisis: during market panic sell-offs, BTC as hard currency is prioritized for support, while ETH drops more sharply.
Many people misunderstand decoupling as BTC falling and ETH rising.
In reality, divergence comes in two forms:
✅ Positive decoupling: BTC sideways or slightly down, ETH strengthens alone
❌ Negative decoupling: BTC stable, ETH alone gets hammered
But one must recognize: when there is a global major negative event or black swan, most of the time both will fall sharply together; it is rare for one to crash while the other rallies strongly against the trend.
Looking at the current market, macro events like tonight’s Jackson Hole speech still impact both BTC and ETH simultaneously, so they will likely move together today. True divergence usually comes from Ethereum-specific news catalysts.
Going forward, pay attention to one indicator: the ETH/BTC exchange rate. A sustained rise means ETH is outperforming BTC; a sustained decline means ETH is weakening. When this indicator starts showing an independent trend, it signals the beginning of divergence between the two.
$BTC $ETHTech stocks and cryptocurrencies overall remain in a risk-appetite state. Tonight's risk point lies in Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's first important speech at the Jackson Hole conference at 22:00 Beijing time. If the market can avoid this risk and experience a wave of decline, I will continue to increase holdings in some $INTC $NBIS and $AMZN
All I can say is, the more I study them, the more optimistic I am — these good things just take time. For Bitcoin, stick to the original plan: once the price reaches $75, double the large position. I've considered buying spot first, then opening some crypto leverage—if Bitcoin continues to drop sharply, I'll buy some after bottoming out and rebounding to supplement the margin of crypto leverage, and that's enough. Overall, I'm still very optimistic, especially about US stocks. I'm not optimistic about the storage industry, but Nvidia has clearly warned: memory supply is becoming a growth bottleneck. The company even said that under current supply constraints, demand cannot be fully met. But all storage vendors are aggressively expanding capital expenditures, and prices have already priced in the impact of forward transactions. SanDisk and Kioxia announced yesterday that by 2032, they will jointly invest over $31 billion in Japan, including building a new NAND flash factory in northern Shanghai, with a planned investment of about $11.3 billion. This is also why I am quite bearish on $SNDK.
SK Hynix has recently performed exceptionally strongly, as SK Hynix further stated yesterday that the global memory shortage could continue until 2030. The company plans to do so in 2030The changes in ETF funds over the past two days have also been turbulent beneath the surface.
Institutions are fiercely competing, and opinions are diverging!
Fidelity has started selling coins, Grayscale has reduced holdings for two consecutive days, but BlackRock still maintains steady net inflows. This indicates that institutions do have differences, but it’s not a retreat yet. The BTC spot ETF overall still maintains net inflows, just not as strong as before.
ETH ETFs are also still seeing capital inflows, which I value quite a bit. Especially recently, Ethereum has been holding up well. If funds continue to flow in, its subsequent elasticity could be even greater than Bitcoin’s.
So I won’t turn bearish just because Fidelity and Grayscale sold for two days straight. Tonight, the focus is on how the market digests the Federal Reserve’s signals.
My judgment remains clear: BTC and ETH may first experience a slight short-term dip and consolidation to wash out sentiment, followed by a small-scale trend rally.
$BTC $ETH #财报观察员：AI demand spreads from hardware to software
The boss has something to say
This AI earnings season is basically wrapping up. On the hardware side, Nvidia and Marvell continue to validate demand for computing power and network connectivity. On the software side, CrowdStrike, Salesforce, and Okta have also delivered respectable results. Synopsys is an exception; its stock price came under pressure after the earnings report, and the market is starting to be selective.
The market no longer questions whether AI demand exists; the question is which companies can convert investments into new orders, recurring revenue, and free cash flow. If improvements on the software side continue, they will be more stable than hardware purchasing cycles, because subscription revenue is not affected by order cycles like chip shipments are. $BTC $ETH $SOL
The focus of discussion has shifted from "whether there is" to "who can deliver." Both hardware and software sides are improving, and the breadth of AI commercialization is expanding.
On the market front, Bitcoin is fluctuating around 81,000, and all long positions from 78,500 to 80,000 have been closed. Wash's speech is tonight; no heavy bets before the direction is clear.
The above analysis is timely; orders must have stop losses set. Good luck.SBI is really reaching out to Southeast Asia this time, planning to spend about $270 million to acquire a 20% stake in Indonesian brokerage Ajaib,
On the surface, it's an investment in a brokerage, but I think what they really want is the channel and users.
After all, Ajaib has over 20 million retail investors, and SBI plans to launch the yen stablecoin JPYSC,
Along with building a cross-border settlement network, having an existing financial platform and users is definitely much easier than starting from scratch.
Moreover, SBI has recently been investing in exchanges and digital securities, and the direction is becoming clearer:
It's not just about playing with a few crypto assets, but about laying out a set of on-chain financial infrastructure in advance.
Stablecoins + RWA + cross-border payments, there might really be something in the future.
#沃什今晚亮相杰克逊霍尔，能否明确政策框架？ #Revolut推出欧元稳定币EURR Tonight, the real market switch is not in the candlesticks but in the Federal Reserve Chair's speech.
Kevin Warsh will deliver the Jackson Hole speech at around 22:00 Beijing time. The market's main concern is not whether he is "hawkish" or "dovish," but whether he will clearly state what inflation conditions will trigger a rate hike and how the Fed views the rising long-term US Treasury yields.
My observation framework:
If the speech emphasizes inflation risks and the possibility of rate hikes, the dollar and US Treasury yields may strengthen, and $BTC and $ETH will face pressure at high levels.
If the speech remains balanced and eases market worries about consecutive rate hikes, BTC may retest the key area near $83,000.
The market has already risen in advance; tonight's focus is not on whether there is good news but whether the actual statement can exceed current expectations.
Do you think the biggest surprise tonight will be more hawkish or more moderate than expected?

#美国核心PCE持平上月，沃什杰克逊霍尔讲话如何定调？ $HYPE 目前已经在回调了。 我不认为它还能继续上涨，这个币之前涨得实在太多了。 我认为，它应该是要下跌了。 有两方面的原因。 一方面是因为今天晚上美联储主席会发表讲话，有可能会对市场造成冲击；另一方面是因为它本身的数据过于利空。 所以我认为，它应该是要回调了。 我目前已经做空了$HYPE ，我相信我自己的判断。 —————————————————— 我们先谈一下美联储主席今晚的情况。 美联储主席沃什将要在杰克逊霍尔央行会议发表讲话，这是他第一次在这个会议上讲话。 在2022年，上一任美联储主席在杰克逊霍尔央行会议上讲话之后，标普是大跌了3.44％，并在随后的一个月里下跌了近10%。 我不知道今天晚上会议之后会怎样，或许有可能市场会突然暴跌。 在这种时候，我认为可以提前开一些空单。 —————————————————— 我们再来看一下$HYPE 的合约数据。 我们可以发现，它的合约持仓量已经到了一个相高的位置，合约多空比也已经跌到了一个相当低的位置。 这种时候，我认为是没有理由再去做多这个币，做多的风险实在是太大了。 而且，如果我们再去看一下它过去七天的收入，就可以发现现在这个市值完$SOL is at 107.64, up 5.32% in 24h, +22.30% in 7 days, +46.40% in 30 days. This is the strongest gain in the entire market. ETF single-day inflow is 60.91M, the largest this year, totaling $1.26B. Charles Schwab announced it will list SOL/AVAX/LINK trading, traditional brokers are really joining.
Last week I talked with a developer working on the Solana ecosystem, he said SOL's on-chain fee revenue has already matched Ethereum's, with x402 transaction volume being 8 times that of Base. The team is not just making empty promises, they are truly making money. The SIMD-0286 deflation vote also passed with 68.77% support, reducing annual token issuance by $1.4-1.5 billion, and increasing the burn rate from 650 SOL/day to 7,500-9,000.
Supply contraction narrative combined with ETF inflows, a dual engine driving growth. If 100 holds, expect 110-$115. Mid-term, there is still room for SOL to catch up with ETH in market cap.
#沃什今晚亮相杰克逊霍尔，能否明确政策框架？ $LIT might be seriously undervalued 👀
If LIT can eventually build even 1/5 of HYPE’s business, the theoretical benchmark comes out around $16.5.
At ~$3.50 today, the market is only pricing in roughly 21% of that benchmark.
But there’s a catch: LIT still has relatively low monetization efficiency, and future unlocks could create dilution. So realistically, the market may value it closer to $5–$12 in a neutral-to-optimistic scenario.
The key level to watch? $5.
#DailyOrbit The topic of Sun Yuchen and Jing Tian has exploded across the internet, with many people focusing on $TRX, betting on this wave of popularity to take off directly.
But be clear: trending search traffic does not equal a long-term price increase logic for the coin.
In the short term, speculative retail investors may follow the trend and enter the market, possibly causing a pulse-like surge, but the scandal's heat comes quickly and fades just as fast. Past hot market trends like this mostly spike on news and quickly fall back once the hype fades.
The intentions behind this are quite clear:
On one hand, they use public opinion in dispute negotiations to gain a favorable position; on the other hand, they spend costs to create full-network exposure to attract the attention of off-market retail investors.
TRX chips are concentrated, and after the hype is raised, the main players can easily complete their sell-off amid the excitement, making it very easy for retail investors chasing highs to get stuck holding the bag.
Whether TRON can sustain a continuous big rise ultimately depends on the overall market environment; relying solely on celebrity scandals cannot support a major market rally.
Don't be brainwashed by trending searches to rush in blindly. You can only play short-term with a very small position in the hype game, take profits when you see gains, and never hold long-term stubbornly.#BTC surge then pullback, options expiry amplifies key level battles
I am the mid-term intelligence guy. $BTC surged to around 81,000 then dropped back to 79,000. Despite the volatile swings, essentially this is a mechanical play by market makers gamma hedging before today's $6.4 billion options expiry—most Calls are stacked at 75K and 80K, so the price is being pulled within this range; when it rises, some sell, when it falls, some buy.
Mid-term, I remain bullish, but I won’t add positions on these key level pulses. If 80K doesn’t hold, it’s just a consolidation shakeout; hold the base position firmly if 75K doesn’t break. Wait until Friday’s expiry positions roll off and volatility compresses before deciding the direction.
Short-term, stuck getting slapped left and right within the range, our mid-term advice is simple: hold your base position, don’t get shaken out by expiry noise, and only consider chasing after a real break above 80K.

$OKB #沃什今晚亮相杰克逊霍尔，能否明确政策框架？
Walsh makes his debut tonight at Jackson Hole, and the market is waiting for a clear policy framework from him
At 10 PM Beijing time tonight, Walsh will take the stage at Jackson Hole for the first time as the Federal Reserve Chair. The background is a bit complicated: PCE is still at 3.7%, initial jobless claims have dropped to 203,000, the 30-year US Treasury yield is fluctuating above 5%, and the Treasury is still intervening in the bond market. Simply put, the market wants to know which way he leans, but no one dares to bet yet.
A quick search shows Walsh hasn't spoken yet; we have to wait until 10 PM tonight. But just waiting for his speech, the market has already started moving — $BTC has fallen from around 81,500 to 79,400, the 80,000 level lost and regained, clearly risk-averse funds are pulling back first.
The core question now is: can Walsh clearly explain the "reaction function" — at what inflation level will rates be raised? How weak does employment have to be to cut rates? If he continues to be vague, US Treasury yields may be pushed even higher; if he states clearly, the market will have a new anchor.
The direction is clear; it all depends on how Walsh speaks.
