Midday Report: BTC Tugs at the 80,000 Level, ETH Struggles to Keep Up, Waiting for Wash's Speech ⚖️ On August 28, after breaking through $81,000, Bitcoin fell back to fluctuate around $80,000, with a monthly gain of over 28 📈%. Ethereum also rose to around $2,500, but its gains lagged behind BTC. --- BTC: Signals of Weakening Upward Momentum August gains are expected to be the largest single-month record since November 2024, but momentum has already weakened. Coinbase's premium index is negative on both daily and hourly levels, indicating a lack of buying 🇺🇸 interest among U.S. investors at the current price. The Fear & Greed Index has returned to "Extreme Greed" (82), a signal historically indicating increased ⚠️ short-term pullback risk. --- ETH: Passive follow-up, on-chain data is positive. ETH is currently around $2,500, facing resistance between $2,497 and $2,585. On-chain data shows that since early June, ETH holdings on exchanges have dropped from 7.69 million to 6.28 million (-18%), indicating that there has been no significant profit-taking pressure 📉 during the price rebound. --- Key variable: Tonight's Wash speech. At 22:00 Beijing time, Federal Reserve Chairman Wash will deliver a keynote speech by Jackson Hole. If dovish, ETH is expected to break through $2,563 and trigger nearly $1.2 billion in short liquidations; If the bias is hawkish, risk assets will be under overall pressure. --- My View 💡: After BTC rebounded more than 26% from its low, the risk of chasing the rally has risen significantly. Extreme Greed+Bitcoin made a move again today, directly pushing above $81,000.
This wave in August has surged nearly 28%, marking the largest monthly gain in almost three years.
The US spot $BTC ETF has seen net inflows for 9 consecutive days, accumulating over $2.6 billion.
BlackRock increased its holdings by $229 million worth of coins in just 9 hours.
The market has gone straight into "extreme greed," with the fear and greed index hitting 82.
The good news is that the OCC and FDIC have finalized new regulations requiring banks not to arbitrarily cut off cooperation with crypto companies.
There's an even bigger whale who went all in with 20x leverage, dumping 7,000 ETH in one go.
But can this rally really keep going?
Fidelity's ETF saw an outflow of $83.6 million in a single day yesterday.
The battle between bulls and bears is intense, with $BTC wildly fluctuating around the $80,000 mark.
Excessive greed often signals a beating is coming.
Anyway, I’m not daring to go all in; better to play it safe at this level for now. Letting a central bank be responsible for "innovation" sounds a bit like letting the fire department handle the fireworks festival. Yet the UK is preparing to do just that. On August 27, the Treasury announced plans to add a secondary objective for the Bank of England focused on payment innovation, covering digital settlement assets such as stablecoins. Financial stability remains the primary priority, but the central bank will also have to explain to Parliament every year: what exactly have you done for innovation? Don't rush to translate this as "the UK giving stablecoins the green light." This is not a clearance notice; it's more like a new column secretly added to the regulator's performance report. In the past, the safest stance for regulators was to avoid incidents. If a new payment product was delayed, almost no one lost their job; but if something went wrong, everyone had to write reports. The result was naturally to prefer making startups wait in line rather than letting risks enter first. Now the government has made "whether innovation is being slowed down" a question that must be publicly answered, and this is the truly interesting part of this news. It will change the default answer in regulatory negotiations. Stablecoin companies will no longer just face "prove you have no risk," but can also ask back: if reserves, redemption, custody, and technical interfaces meet standards, why can't they enter the payment system? The battleground has shifted from "whether they are allowed to exist" to "how to integrate them and who is responsible if problems arise." But a new KPI won't automatically build out the payment network. The central bank's innovation objective is clearly secondary to financial stability; the UK Parliament still needs to amend the law, with related revisions expected to be reviewed again in early September. A more realistic trouble is that so-called support for innovation may ultimately just become a few more roundtable discussions.📊 $BTC & $ETH — THE FLOW DATA IS GETTING INTERESTING
The latest 12-indicator read-through paints a market that's still leaning constructive, but with some important differences between Bitcoin and Ethereum.
$BTC: $80,249 (+1.55%)
$ETH: $2,511 (+0.17%)
The biggest signal is coming from the ETF side:
🟢 BTC ETFs: +$242M
🟢 ETH ETFs: +$235M
That's nearly $477M of combined net inflows in one session.
Institutional demand is clearly not limited to Bitcoin.
🟠 BTC HAS THE MOMENTUM
Bitcoin is showing the stronger price reaction, up 1.55%, while its Coinbase Premium remains positive at +0.0321%.
BTC dominance also increased to 60.18%, suggesting Bitcoin is currently capturing a larger share of the market's attention.
The key question now is whether BTC can maintain momentum above $80K and continue challenging the major resistance zones overhead.
🔵 ETH IS ATTRACTING CAPITAL, BUT PRICE IS LAGGING
Ethereum's ETF inflow is almost as large as Bitcoin's:
$235M vs $242M.
That's significant.
But ETH only gained 0.17%, while the ETH/BTC ratio declined 1.36%.
That tells us something important:
Capital is flowing into ETH, but BTC is currently showing stronger relative price momentum.
So I wouldn't call this a full ETH-led rotation yet.
The demand is there.
The relative strength still needs to catch up.
🌍 ONE MORE SIGNAL
Tether dominance fell to 6.85%, down 1.28%.
A declining stablecoin dominance can sometimes coincide with capital moving away from defensive stablecoin positioning and into risk assets.
Combined with positive BTC and ETH ETF flows, that gives the market a more constructive backdrop.
But as always, one day's data isn't enough to establish a trend.
👀 THE BIG PICTURE
Right now, I'm seeing three different messages:
BTC → price momentum + institutional demand
ETH → strong institutional demand, weaker relative momentum
Stablecoins → declining dominance as risk appetite improves
That's an interesting combination.
If ETF inflows remain strong and BTC holds above $80K, the market could continue building toward the next resistance. 這個快照最有用的地方，不是猜價格，而是看注意力正往哪裡集中。 OKX Onchain OS 在 08 月 28 日 09:00 更新的官方排行顯示，BTC、ETH、SOL 最近一小時分別被提及 87、30、51 次。這些數字量的是討論密度；它們沒有包含成交量、資金流或帳戶持倉。 BTC 的提及量排在首位，短窗速度是二十四小時每小時平均的 1.12 倍，屬於「略有加快」。語氣上，偏多 60%、偏空 11%、中性約 29%，所以熱度領先和方向一致並不是同一件事。 另外兩個標的也各有自己的節奏。BTC 是 略有加快、偏多明顯佔優；ETH 是 大致貼近長窗均值、偏多明顯佔優；SOL 則是 略有加快、偏多明顯佔優。三組狀態放在一起，比只挑最高的百分比更接近當下市場。 如果一定要比較語氣，ETH 的偏多減偏空差值最高，目前屬於「偏多明顯佔優」。但別看快了：提及速度沒有同步抬升時，只能說現有討論比較靠向某一側，不能說更多人正快速形成同一種看法。反過來，提及量加快而偏空比例上升，也可能只是風險事件吸引了更多注意。 來源結構同樣值得看。BTC 的一小時內容是 主要由 X 驅動，ETH 是 主要由 X 驅The current macro mix remains delicate: 📌 core PCE is about 3.3%, significantly above the Fed's 2% target 📌. U.S. initial jobless claims have dropped to 203,000, indicating the job market remains resilient 📌 for now. Fed officials Schmid and Hammack continue to emphasize inflation risks, believing current policies may not be restrictive 📌 enough. Meanwhile, long-term Treasury yields remain high, and the market is watching the increasingly sensitive policy boundaries between the Treasury and the Fed. So I am more concerned whether Warsh can provide a repeatable and understandable framework for policy responses: If inflation continues to stay above target, how will the Fed adjust? If employment suddenly deteriorates significantly, what are the triggers for a policy shift? If long-term Treasury yields continue to rise, will tightening financial conditions replace part of the rate hike effect? What truly affects the market may not be a simple "hawkish" or "dovish" stance, but rather how these variables will influence the next policy steps. If the policy framework remains unclear, the market may continue to repeatedly price in the relationship between the Fed and the Treasury, thereby amplifying volatility in the dollar, U.S. Treasuries, gold, and BTC. What Jackson Hole truly deserves to watch this time is not just the direction of interest rates, but how the Fed intends to define its own reaction function. This represents only personal market observation and does not constitute investment advice #JacksonHole #FederalReserve #Warsh #FLooking at the market from a different angle — the average withdrawal price on exchanges
When BTC is withdrawn from exchanges, a record is left on the blockchain. We can calculate the average withdrawal price across all exchanges to estimate the overall market cost basis.
The logic here is: we assume the time BTC was purchased on the exchange is close to the time it was withdrawn; therefore, the cost approximates the price at that moment.
So, can you guess what the average cost of all BTC withdrawn from exchanges in 2026 will be?
$72,000 (green line in the chart) — this is a key figure.
Because, looking at the past two cycles, after the first wave of rally out of the bear bottom, the pullback always finds a new supply-demand balance here.
For example, after a small bull run in December 2019, the first pullback was near the "2019 average exchange withdrawal cost (blue line)," slightly breaking below it.$BTC surged to $81,500 before falling below $80,000, but $ETH did not strengthen in tandem but instead approached the 24-hour low; Meanwhile, $SOL rose 5.65%, becoming the strongest performing mainstream coin. This divergence indicates that the market is not a broad rally but has entered a phase of "BTC consolidating at high levels and funds choosing strong directions." Tonight, the Jackson Hole global central bank annual meeting will deliver key speeches, and the market is waiting for new policy signals. What truly needs to be judged next is not which coin posted the largest single-day gain, but whether SOL's strength can be confirmed by BTC stability, ETH catching up, and other mainstream altcoins following suit. ## 1. BTC surges and then retreats, $80,000 becomes a pre-event contested position As of 13:07 Beijing time on August 28, BTC was quoted at $79,611, up 1.15% in 24 hours, reaching a high of $81,499 and a low of $78,602. From the trend perspective, BTC still maintained intraday gains but has clearly retreated from the high, indicating strong profit-taking and pressure near $81,500. The market did not immediately weaken but returned to around $80,000 before Jackson Hole's speech to find balance again. Currently, BTC's short-term structure can be divided into three positions: - $81,500: Breakout confirmation level; - $80,000: Bullish and bearish contest; - $78,600: Range defense level. If the event unfolds tonight, BETH on exchanges is almost drained.
1.4 million ETH left exchanges, causing the inventory to drop directly by 18%.
Interestingly, BTC inventory even slightly increased.
Both are surging, but the capital operations are completely opposite.
Big funds are in no rush to cash out; instead, they are creating a "liquidity black hole."
They withdraw coins and directly put them into POS staking and protocols to earn interest. Now the staking rate has surpassed 35%.
Previously, everyone "cashed out on highs," but now big holders "lock up and earn interest on highs."
The fewer spot coins on the market, the lighter the order book. Even a small amount of buying can easily push the price up because the sell orders are insufficient.
This is market makers and large institutions working together to lock chips and forcibly raise the cost of liquidity.
But there is a pitfall here.
Now people withdraw coins because the market is good and they are willing to lock up to earn interest.
When the market turns, if this batch of ETH locked in staking pools is unbound and flows back to exchanges, the accumulated selling pressure can instantly crush the market.
Is it naive to be bullish just by looking at exchange outflows?
Don’t mistake a one-sided indicator as a signal for a rise; the real drama is yet to come.#BTC surges and then retreats, options expiration amplifies the battle at key levels
6.4 billion options expire this afternoon, with 80,000 being the battleground for longs and shorts.
At 4 PM today, 81,700 Bitcoin options on Deribit expired, with a notional value of $6.44 billion.
44,639 call options, 37,061 put options. Put/call ratio 0.83, overall bullish. Maximum pain point at $68,000—the price level where option sellers most hope the price will land.
But now the spot price is around 79,000. That's a difference of $11,000.
The strike prices of 75,000 and 80,000 are heavily populated with call options. The notional value of options within 5% of the spot price exceeds $500 million.
People with orders in hand should be keeping an eye on this number this afternoon.
On the other hand, $ETH options expired on the same day with a notional value of approximately $961 million. The maximum pain point was at $2,200, but the spot price was around $2,490, deviating by about $300.
$BTC deviates from $11,000, while ETH deviates by about $300. The one with the greater deviation faces more pressure.
Coincidentally, Wash is set to deliver his first keynote speech tonight in Jackson Hole.
The expiration of options and the Federal Reserve Chair's speech coinciding on the same day introduced too many variables.
Can BTC hold above $80,000 this afternoon? Can ETH maintain $2,400?
The clarity of how inflation, employment, and financial conditions influence policy is more important than hawkish or dovish labels. A vague framework could lead to repeated market repricing of the Fed-Treasury long-term yield curve, increasing volatility in the dollar, Treasury bonds, gold, and BTC. This is not a recommendation, but merely an analysis.$BTC $ETH When BTC fluctuates repeatedly around $80,000, the most common mistake contract traders make is not choosing the wrong direction, but mistaking "can be executed" for "executed at a good price." Many people, when chasing longs or reversing positions, only focus on two things: whether the price has reached the target and whether the leverage is sufficient. But the real costs that eat into profits often hide after placing the order: order book depth, taker fees, funding rates, mark price deviation, slippage after trigger orders activate, and how the venue handles partial fills and cancellations. The same BTC or ETH perpetual trading pair may look like a single candlestick chart, but the actual execution conditions can be completely different. On a top-tier CEX, the order book is deeper and market orders may be more stable, but funding rates and fee structures are not always the most favorable; on an on-chain Perp DEX, transparency and on-chain settlement are more direct, but when large positions consume depth, slippage and latency become real costs. Some venues may have similar prices, but differences in mark price, index price, liquidation buffers, and risk limits can cause the same position to experience completely different outcomes during extreme volatility. Therefore, I increasingly disagree with the habit of first deciding which platform to open a position on, then looking for the trading pair. A more reasonable sequence should be reversed: first decide which asset to trade, then compare the execution conditions of different venues at that moment. It's not just about which interface is more convenient or which button is more familiar, but about where the real cost of the trade is lower and where the risk boundaries lie. 📰 【BlackRock: Bitcoin's "Safe Haven/Inflation Hedge" Narrative Returns to the Market Spotlight】
BlockBeats reports that on August 28, Bitcoin recently climbed back to $80,000. Robbie Mitchnick, head of digital assets at BlackRock, believes the market is refocusing on Bitcoin's safe haven and anti-inflation properties. Unlike previous times when it mostly followed the Nasdaq and tech stocks' fluctuations, this rally feels more like a macro repricing triggered by rising concerns over debt, deficits, and the dollar's creditworthiness. This assessment aligns with recent market trends. Bitcoin quickly rebounded from the $60,000 low range, briefly surpassing $81,000; meanwhile, gold remains strong, and long-term U.S. Treasury yields and U.S. fiscal sustainability have become key market discussion points. BlackRock believes that when debt, deficits, and currency depreciation re-enter investors' focus...
This time BlackRock really hit the nail on the head. Previously, Bitcoin always trailed behind the Nasdaq, seeming quite passive, but this rally from $60,000 back to $80,000 clearly has a different driving force—long-term U.S. Treasuries are unwanted, the deficit hole is growing, and once the dollar's creditworthiness is openly discussed, Bitcoin's old "digital gold" narrative gains believers again.
Simply put, this wave isn't retail FOMO; it's the money that was hiding in high interest rates looking for a safe harbor again. This is a completely different logic line from the AI and Meme hype. Now, the only truly effective narrative in the market is "inflation hedge," and going forward, keep a close eye on long bond yields and the dollar's condition.
However, the sharper the narrative shift, the more volatile it gets. Don't think it's stable just because it broke $80,000. Are your current positions leaning more toward BTC or hedging with gold? Share your thoughts in the comments below.👇👇👇
$BTC $ETH $SOL Recently, two very interesting numbers have appeared again in Ethereum Staking. One is 34.7%. As of late August, about 42.4 million ETH across the entire Ethereum network have been staked, accounting for approximately 34.7% of the total supply, setting a new historical high. Even more astonishing, there are over 2.2 million ETH queued at the validator entrance, and at the current pace, new staking funds will need to wait nearly 39 days to be officially activated. Another change comes from traditional finance. In August, Fidelity further advanced staking arrangements for its Ethereum fund FETH, not only signing related custody agreements with Anchorage Digital and BitGo but also clearly designing a staking rewards distribution mechanism. These two seemingly unrelated changes are actually a microcosm: in the past six months, Ethereum staking has accelerated from a somewhat geeky on-chain operation to gradually becoming an increasingly standardized asset management method. For ordinary ETH holders, a more practical question than "whether to stake or not" has begun to emerge: if deciding to stake, should one run their own node, choose Native Staking, Lido, or simply keep it on an exchange? 1. Staking is no longer limited to "locking tokens to earn rewards" Let's start with the most basic question. Ethereum completed The Merge 今天市场上关于狗狗币的讨论不少，但其中有一条消息的含金量，可能比标题看上去要轻得多。21Shares 的 DOGE ETF 在今天悄然更换了定价基准，这属于基金运营层面的常规调整，既不是新的申请提交，也谈不上临近获批的信号。 这类变动往往不会在价格上激起多少水花，却很适合用来厘清一个常见的认知偏差：ETF 有了新动态，并不等于 DOGE 本身迎来了重大利好。很多时候，我们看到的不过是后台规则的一次例行更新，却被标题里同时出现的两个热词放大了情绪。 在加密市场里，信息的分贝往往不等于信息的重量。同样是“DOGE + ETF”的组合，可能指向完全不同的阶段——有的是产品细节微调，有的是发行方在推进流程，有的则是市场情绪的自我投射。对于普通观察者来说，辨别消息的层级，比追逐消息本身更重要。 价格没有反应，有时候恰恰说明市场是清醒的，它知道哪些是实质进展，哪些只是流程噪音。这种安静的时刻，反而适合我们把注意力从短期的波动上移开，回到基本面本身的节奏里。 当然，这也不意味着这类消息毫无价值。监管框架、产品结构、定价机制的逐步完善，都是行业走向成熟的细碎注脚。只是它们更适合被当作长期背景板，而非短BTC must closely monitor the 50-week moving average, the core level

If you can't stand up,
The next phase will most likely be a procrastinating, high-rise and pullback, a grueling and consolidating market #WalshPolicyFramework #AIShiftsToSoftware #BTCOptionsExpiryTest 🟠 $BTC FROM STRESS TO ABSORPTION
Bitcoin's market structure appears to be moving into a different phase.
After the recent recovery, a large portion of holders are back in profit. That's important because the market dynamics change when investors move from “I need to survive” to “I can finally take profit.”
During the stress phase, selling is often driven by fear and forced decisions.
Now, with more holders back in profit, forced selling pressure can decrease.
But there's a trade-off. 今晚最脆弱的不是BTC，是那些被情绪顶到半空的小币种，一个财报就能让它们摔出三种姿势。 你有没有发现，市场正在用一种很微妙的方式"提前定价"？ 先说结论：现在更像一波情绪驱动的中继行情，而不是趋势的起点，更不是派发尾声。因为量能还在，但结构已经散了。 我盯了一整晚的盘面，真正让我在意的不是BTC的横盘，而是山寨币之间那种"谁也不跟谁"的割裂感。 - TRUMP这种政治MEME，24小时波动能到80%，热度一退，成交直接从几十亿美金缩到零头。它交易的从来不是基本面，是流量和注意力，Nvidia财报对它来说只是背景噪音。 - HYPE这种AI Agent概念的小币，倒是和Nvidia财报有强关联。预期好，它能冲；预期落空，它跌得比主流币狠得多。这种币玩的是"事件驱动"，不是价值发现。 - BICO和OKB则是另一种状态，一个跟着大盘走箱体，一个几乎独立于所有叙事。它们的问题不是没故事，而是故事太旧，资金懒得讲。 这里有个容易被忽略的点：SOL的位置很微妙。它既是公链，又是MEME和AI币的温床，所以它本质上是一个"风险偏好放大器"。大盘稳，它弹性最大；大盘转弱，它的回调速度也远超BTC和ENVIDIA ($NVDA) single-day market cap jumped directly by $442 billion — this is not just a stock price increase, it's practically creating the market cap of a top-tier company out of thin air. Currently, NVIDIA's total market cap has reached $5.5 trillion, continuing to firmly hold the top spot in global market capitalization.
Just as everyone was still doubting whether the AI bubble was about to burst, Huang (Jensen Huang) directly released a script forecasting a 70% revenue growth for the next fiscal year, rubbing the market expectation (45%) into the ground.
This extreme simultaneous rise in volume and price essentially represents top consensus capital re-pricing a certainty premium. Capital has experienced a V-shaped rebound from concerns about DeepSeek's impact to the performance guidance shield. The overall market is currently in a valuation acceleration phase driven by earnings. The appearance of a net inflow of $36,598,700 (intensity as high as +32.17%) indicates that large groups are frantically buying, and even though the price is fluctuating around $226.58, the buying power remains as strong as rebar.
okxx丶Perfunctory strategy
* Direction: Use pullback volatility to go long. This level of earnings support usually has inertia for a sprint.
* Ideal entry point: Focus on the support strength in the $220 - $223 range; as long as the pullback does not break the previous low of $219.39, the bullish trend remains intact.
* Exit/Take profit point: Short-term target is $235; if there is a volume breakout, the mid-term target can be expected at $250.

#财报观察员：AI需求从硬件扩散至软件 $HYPE hits a new high
It's not driven by sentiment, but by cash flow pricing. Arthur Hayes sets a $150 target price, Bitwise launched a spot ETF, and the CFTC has started discussing compliance paths for on-chain perpetual contracts.
Bears give $60, bulls give $360. The same asset, priced with a 6x difference.
Such a big divergence shows the market hasn't figured it out yet: is this an exchange token or on-chain derivatives infrastructure?
The real game isn't whether it can reach $150, but whether there's room to grow after that.英伟达的财报依旧漂亮得无可挑剔，盘前股价的拉升也印证了市场的认可。但就在这份光鲜之下，美光、闪迪、海力士这些同处硬件赛道的老面孔却集体走弱。龙头兑现利好，板块内部却上演着残酷的“高低切”，这熟悉的配方背后，是资金在用真金白银表态：算力基础设施的“军备竞赛”故事，短期讲得太满，筹码需要换手，预期需要消化。 这种分化值得细品。AI硬件的叙事逻辑并没有崩塌，但市场的边际定价权正在从“想象力”转向“现实约束”。库存周期、砍单传闻、产能爬坡，这些曾经被忽略的细节，如今都成了悬在股价上的达摩克利斯之剑。当龙头公司的业绩成为板块的“利好出尽”，资金自然开始寻找下一个能承接溢价的去处。 而此时的币圈，却悄然挺直了腰板。大饼稳稳站回八万美元上方，二饼也重新突破两千五，这并非简单的超跌反弹，更像是一场系统性的资金迁徙。不少宏观基金和对冲机构开始重新审视BTC与ETH的定位，将其视作对抗流动性溢价的“新硬件”——没有库存周期，没有砍单风险，只有代码写死的稀缺性。这种“资产属性”的切换，恰恰是传统硬件股无法提供的想象空间。 一边是半导体周期见顶的隐忧，一边是数字黄金减半后的供需裂口。AI硬件陷入分歧，币圈反而Account Position Divergence Radar
Both are bullish biases, but account longs and heavy positions are not the same thing; the difference is shown in this chart.
$MRVL shows a misalignment between long-short ratios; the number of participants, top accounts, and top positions cannot yet be combined into a single conclusion. Price is falling while positions increase, indicating leverage risk exposure is growing during this downtrend. For now, only disagreement can be confirmed; trading direction requires a second layer of evidence from positions and price.
$DOGE shows all accounts and top accounts are biased long, but top position sizes are bearish; the number of accounts and position weights are not aligned. The decline has not led to position expansion; first, watch when risk exposure contraction slows. The account side is already bullish; next, it depends on whether top positions are willing to shift weight to the same side.
$SNDK shows account counts consistently bullish, but the top position ratio remains below 1; the numerical advantage has not translated into a top position advantage. Price and open interest are falling together; the current core is deleveraging, and exits cannot be judged solely by open interest. Going forward, stop counting accounts and directly monitor whether top position weights are repairing toward the long side.Walsh's first Jackson Hole keynote arrives with the Fed's trade-off unusually exposed: core PCE remains above 2%, yet initial jobless claims have fallen to 203K. With Schmid and Hammack emphasizing inflation risks, the key signal is not a single policy preference but whether Walsh defines a repeatable reaction function.
#WalshPolicyFramework #AIShiftsToSoftware #BTCOptionsExpiryTest Nvidia ripping is good news for Tim Knight @SlopeOfHope, and he is short.
His logic: a strong Nvidia lifts everything else, which turns broken charts back into appealing ones. Appealing charts, not pigs. Good to short again.

Still not believing the current reversal is underway? Because most people are benchmarking the 2022 and 2018 bear markets, and generally believe the 2026 bull market, like the previous two bear markets, needs to start in January next year.
In fact, the operation of this bear market is very different from previous ones. This bear market killed two main downward waves in one go, with the last wave having the smallest volatility, which fits the characteristics of the tail end of every bear market. Previous bear markets were fought slowly and slowly, lasting an entire year. June 30 this year corresponds to November 21, 2022 (the 2022 ultimate low of 15,443). This time, it was a sensational move after about six weeks of sideways consolidation at the major bottom. After November 21, 2022, it also moved sideways at the bottom for about six weeks, and began to make a stunning appearance on January 1, 2023.
From June to July, I kept reminding everyone that the monthly MACD has already reset to zero axis, so how could it possibly fall even lower? It's like a plane has already landed—can it still burrow underground? #WalshPolicyFramework #AIShiftsToSoftware #BTCOptionsExpiryTest 🎤 Waller makes his debut at Jackson Hole tonight at 22:00, with global markets holding their breath.
Three core questions determine the direction:
❓ Does the AI deflation theory count? → Determines the long-term policy rate center
❓ Will there be a rate hike in September? → Current probability 30%
❓ Will the inflation framework change? → Whether the 2% target tolerance is raised
Three scenario simulations:
🔴 Hawkish (20%): Emphasizes inflation risks, USD surges to 100, BTC tests 77000
🟡 Ambiguous (50%): Talks about financial innovation without guidance, market oscillates within a range
🟢 Dovish (30%): Systematically explains AI deflation, USD falls to 98, BTC breaks 81000
My judgment: Ambiguous scenario has the highest probability, dovish second. Waller's style is to reduce forward guidance and will not give clear signals at Jackson Hole.

But what is the driving factor?
The U.S. Treasury announced an expansion of long-term Treasury repurchases, which the market directly interpreted as implicit easing.
In plain language: the Treasury is manipulating long-term interest rates, effectively making the dollar more inflationary.
So what did the funds do?
They fled.
Fled to gold, fled to Bitcoin.
Hashdex's Chief Investment Officer put it bluntly—Bitcoin doesn't directly respond to the September rate decision; it follows global liquidity and the long-end yield curve, driven by exactly the same factors as gold.
You think this is an internal crypto matter?
It's fundamentally about fiat currency credit.
Citibank just poured cold water on this: the recent gold breakout is all driven by speculative money; physical demand hasn't kept up at all.
Once the Fed turns hawkish, speculators will run faster than anyone.
The same goes for BTC.
Tonight isn't about "what the Fed says," it's about "which direction U.S. dollar credit is heading." 🥇🥈 Gold and Silver Analysis | Not a Safe Haven, but Loose Resonance
In short: This wave of gold and silver is not about "buying gold out of fear," but a speculation + loose resonance where silver outperforms gold, with the gold-silver ratio crashing to 66.6 — this is the most bullish macro combination for BTC.If an account suddenly shows an extra 2,000 bitcoins, don’t quit your job just yet. The first thing isn’t to calculate how much a yacht costs, but to check whether this wealth actually landed on the blockchain or if the exchange backend mistakenly clicked “Bitcoin” instead of “Korean won.” The Korean exchange Bithumb had this kind of absurd incident back in February this year. A referral reward originally meant to give 2,000 Korean won to each of 695 users was mistakenly entered with the unit BTC. The backend instantly “created” a total of 620,000 bitcoins, with a book value exceeding 40 billion USD at the time—far more exaggerated than the amount that could realistically be delivered. The exchange discovered the problem about 20 minutes later, restricted transactions and withdrawals on the related accounts within 35 minutes, and eventually reversed about 99.7% of the erroneous entries before any trades occurred; official statements said none of these bitcoins were transferred to external wallets. In other words, it wasn’t that 620,000 BTC suddenly appeared on-chain, but that the centralized database temporarily recorded a mountain of nonexistent gold. The story has recently developed further. The Seoul Central District Court issued first-instance rulings on August 26 and 27 on two unjust enrichment lawsuits, supporting the exchange’s recovery of part of the proceeds from the mistakenly sold balances, involving amounts of approximately 4.99 million and 19.4 million Korean won respectively. Two other cases have yet to be decided, so these two rulings cannot be taken as the final resolution of all cases. What I find funniest and most cautionary about this incident is how clearly it demonstrated “what an exchange balance really is.”【 $BTC Four-Year Cycle Total Engraving Series 52】

The indicators in the chart are bull market top escape & bear market bottom buying models developed based on Bitcoin VDD, Median Price, and multiple bear bottom right-side confirmation indicatorsRecently, the number of x402 transactions hit a new high, exceeding 2 million transactions in a single day
Most transactions occur on the Solana network, with the majority handled by PayAI and Figment
Most of these transactions are categorized as Infra & Utilities. The driving force behind this is the server provider Blockrun, which can be understood as an OpenRouter for Agents, charging per use, with one entry point connected to dozens of large AI models
Although the x402 transaction volume is very low, with daily transaction amounts only in the tens of thousands of dollars and an average transaction cost of less than $0.015, it is still quite niche from the perspective of payment networks, but relatively less important for Facilitators
For example, with PayAI, BlockRun is the actual paying seller. Currently, PayAI charges $0.001 per transaction to the server, and with over a million transactions processed daily, the revenue is approximately $1,000+/dayAfter $BTC surpassed 80,000, the market actually quieted down.
The most interesting question now isn't whether Bitcoin can still rise, but rather—why are both bulls and bears reluctant to make the first move at the 80,000 USD level?
BTC is currently fluctuating around 79,600 USD, having reached a high of 81,500 USD and a low of 78,600 USD in the past 24 hours. After breaking above 80,000, there was no obvious volume breakout nor a rapid drop back to key support, indicating that short-term funds are entering a very typical "waiting for confirmation" phase.
After yesterday's PCE release, the core data basically met market expectations without triggering new inflation shocks, so the market did not show a clear directional choice.
But this doesn't mean there's nothing to trade; rather, the real variable that will determine the next direction hasn't materialized yet.
On one hand, this recent Bitcoin rally has accumulated considerable profit-taking, and 80,000 USD is a very clear psychological integer barrier. Consolidating after the surge to digest positions is actually a healthy phenomenon.
On the other hand, short-term support has formed around 78,000–79,000 USD, so bears would need stronger macro catalysts to break through directly.
So, I tend to interpret the current market as:
There are profit-taking positions above, support below, and what's missing is a big enough piece of news to break the balance.
And this variable is very likely to come tonight.
The Jackson Hole Symposium is underway, and the market is really focused on Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh's speech. Compared to ordinary economic data, the importance of this speech lies in its potential to influence market repricing of future interest rate paths, inflation, and the financial environment. Previously, Warsh's communication was cautious, with insufficient policy forward guidance, which caused noticeable volatility in the bond market.
So tonight, don't just focus on the words "rate cut" or "no rate cut."
What really matters are three things:
First, his stance on inflation.
If he emphasizes that inflation remains stubborn and tight policy must be maintained, then if the dollar and U.S. Treasury yields rise, BTC could face short-term pressure.
Second, whether he signals a future policy shift.
If his wording is clearly dovish, the market might reprice easing expectations, giving risk assets including BTC a chance for a second wave of gains.
Third, whether BTC can see volume expansion after the speech.
This is actually more important than just price movement.
If after the news BTC quickly breaks above 81,500 with volume increasing simultaneously, then 80,000 could shift from a "resistance level" to a new support zone, and the next focus would be 82,000–83,000.
But if it surges then quickly falls back below 80,000, or even breaks 78,600, then this breakout should be treated cautiously as a false breakout plus profit-taking.
Therefore, at this stage, I actually don't recommend blindly chasing longs just because BTC has surpassed 80,000.
The real opportunity is not guessing the direction but waiting for the direction to reveal itself.
Whether BTC can hold above 80,000 will determine if this rebound continues to expand or enters a larger-scale consolidation phase.
The biggest risk tonight isn't no market movement, but that the market moves too fast and leverage gets wiped out first.
So at this stage:
BTC not breaking key support means no need to be overly pessimistic about the trend for now;
But without a volume breakout, there's no need to treat the consolidation as a main upward wave.
Tonight, watch Warsh's speech. What really decides the market is what he says and, more importantly, how the market trades after hearing it.
#沃什今晚亮相杰克逊霍尔，能否明确政策框架？ Walsh's first Jackson Hole keynote arrives with the Fed's trade-off unusually exposed: core PCE remains above 2%, yet initial jobless claims have fallen to 203K. With Schmid and Hammack emphasizing inflation risks, the key signal is not a single policy preference but whether Walsh defines a repeatable reaction function.
#WalshPolicyFramework #AIShiftsToSoftware #BTCOptionsExpiryTest The annual jacksonHOLE conference.
Remember in 2022, BTC plummeted, continuously falling until the labor data release.
In 2023, BTC and ETH were in a suppressed state for the quarter.
On August 23, 2024, both ETH and BTC saw rapid increases, with altcoins like SUI, WIF, and PEPE soaring over 40%.
On August 22, 2025, ETH rebounded 18% that day, surging.
This is what makes this conference remarkable.
What about today's meeting? Since it's Warsh's debut (a fireside chat aimed at global central bank peers), it is bound to be full of highlights.
Considering Warsh is still using the new position of Federal Reserve FOMC Chair, it is highly likely the discussion will continue the line of thought from July 29. Therefore, dovish voices will exceed 50%.
Therefore: if ETH falls below 2450 today, just keep playing the long game.One of last year's most popular tech scare stories was that AI agents would wipe out SaaS companies entirely. Workday's latest earnings report offers a less romantic answer: to work with large enterprises, AI might still have to pay rent to the old software first. The company reported $2.649 billion in revenue for Q2, up 12.8% year-over-year; subscription revenue was $2.471 billion, up 13.9%. More strikingly, AI has already contributed over a quarter of the new annual contract value signed, with more than 5,500 customers using its self-developed agents, a quarter-over-quarter increase of over 35%. The company also said that more than half of new customers this quarter signed at least one AI solution. This set of numbers doesn't disprove AI, but rather the notion that "once the model is smart, enterprise software will disappear on the spot." Consumers can switch chat tools today, but enterprises can't just move payroll, budgets, audit permissions, and employee records all at once tomorrow morning. Whoever controls clean data, approval chains, and accountability records holds the real ticket for AI to enter the company. The model is like an engine; systems like Workday are more like roads, toll booths, and traffic rules. The engine is certainly important, but it can't decide on its own who has the authority to change payroll. Therefore, the smartest defense for established SaaS companies isn't to compete with large models on who chats better, but to embed agents into existing workflows and then sell customers the "permissions to safely take action." AI hasn't bypassed software subscriptions; instead, it has temporarily become an add-on. However, this still cannot be declared $UNITREE National Development and Reform Commission: Developing the robotics industry must be adapted to local conditions to prevent blind following and herd behavior
Li Chao, Deputy Director of the Policy Research Office of the National Development and Reform Commission, stated at the NDRC's regular press conference in August that the robotics industry involves many cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, advanced manufacturing, and new materials. Development must be adapted to local conditions, proceed in a healthy and orderly manner, be based on local resource endowments and industrial advantages, find the right positioning, leverage strengths, and prevent blind following and herd behavior, effectively promoting steady and long-term development of related industries.
The tone has already been set above: toys are just toys and still immature, so $UNITREE's IPO is the peak of the bubble; what follows is the bubble bursting. At the national level, capital frenzy will also be controlled. For parasitic entities like $UNITREE, this is not good. Another cut is coming, first seeing 300 RMB!Treating a whale that failed to short 17 times but suddenly profited as a market reversal signal is a common misconception. This illustrates that on-chain behavior noise is far more complex than trend judgment.
2) What is noise and what is useful: Profiting after 17 failed short attempts is an individual behavior and does not constitute a market direction signal. The Sparrow update did not involve user asset exposure, and AI fixes do not equal security upgrades. The rise in cybersecurity stocks reflects increased institutional risk appetite but has no direct transmission path to crypto asset prices.
The bullish side: Strengthening cybersecurity stocks may reflect an overall warming of risk appetite and could support long-term confidence in decentralized infrastructure. The bearish side: A whale’s single profitable operation may just be a strategy adjustment and cannot prove a market sentiment reversal, lacking sustained data verification.
What to continue monitoring: On-chain capital flows and liquidation risks still need observation. Only if large net outflows or protocol-level attack events occur later will a true risk reassessment be triggered. Currently, none of the events have formed verifiable systemic risks or fundamental turning points.

Crypto assets are highly volatile; please conduct independent research and manage risks.$BTC $ETH Gold closed near 4590 last night. Analysts have already set a target of 5000. Gold and ETF inflows hit record highs, maxing safe-haven demand. Meanwhile, BTC is repeatedly tugging around 80,000, forming a sharp contrast. This signal is worth considering. Gold and BTC are both fighting for the same batch of safe-haven funds, but gold is driven by fear of inflation and geopolitics, while BTC is driven by fear of fiat currency depreciation. When gold ETFs are aggressively absorbing funds, it shows that large funds are more defensive. For high-risk assets like BTC, it's not friendly in the short term. $SNDK is not friendly in the short term but also has another interpretation. The overall strength of safe-haven assets actually shows that fiat currency credit is being questioned. In the long run, BTC is positive. Short-term defense and long-term positive — it depends on which time dimension you judge. Gold and BTC are not on the same path but have the same destination. The direction is right, control the pace. #Walsh appears tonight, Jackson Hole, can the policy framework be clarified? #财报观察员: AI demand is spreading from hardware to software #BTC冲高回落, with options expiring and experiencing the battle at the threshold Temporary shipping lanes sound like bad news for oil prices, but the energy market isn't that easy to sway
Iran and Iraq have finalized temporary shipping lanes, which can indeed ease some transportation anxiety in the short term. Whether ships can sail, insurance can cover, ports can receive, and buyers dare to sign long-term contracts—these details matter more than the news headlines
The US has tightened sanctions on Iran, putting another hand on the supply chain's neck. The result is the market trading "channel restoration" on one side, while still hesitant to completely eliminate risk premiums
I think the hardest part about trading oil prices is this: it's not a pure commodity, but more like a global supply chain thermometer. Cooling down today doesn't mean it won't spike tomorrow. In inflation trading, energy is always the variable most likely to suddenly turn against you
#伊朗开放临时航道，美拒恢复旧协议 Today, about $6.44 billion worth of $BTC options expire, with the maximum pain point near $68,000, while the spot price remains around $80,000.
Here, the most common misconception is that the maximum pain point is a price prediction or that BTC must drop to $68,000. What truly matters is that a large volume of option settlements and rollovers may force market makers to concentrate on adjusting hedge positions, amplifying intraday volatility.
If BTC can hold $80,000 after settlement, it indicates that ETF and spot buying are sufficient to absorb derivative fluctuations; if there is a rapid spike and drop, it may be due to the combined effect of hedging funds and profit-taking.
The most important thing today is not to guess the price direction but to observe whether real buying remains after option settlement.
Do you think $80,000 will become support or continue to act as resistance after settlement?

#BTC冲高回落，期权到期放大关口博弈 My SPCX perpetual contract grid ran for more than a day, and the account gave me a lesson. The data is: grid arbitrage profit -0.0181 USDT, unpaired profit -0.0722 USDT, total profit -0.0540 USDT (-0.30%).
At first, I was a bit confused by these three numbers: the grid was clearly making money, so why was the total profit negative? Later, I understood what "unpaired profit" means — every time the grid completes a trade, it leaves some unsold positions that fluctuate with the market price. I was running a long grid, and when the price dropped slightly, those "unpaired" long positions incurred floating losses. The small amount earned from grid arbitrage couldn't cover the directional floating loss.
This is a key insight for beginners: when looking at a grid, don't just look at "arbitrage count" and "grid profit" turning green and assume you're making money. You must look at "total profit" because total profit = grid arbitrage + unpaired floating. In a sideways market, small grid gains and small directional losses are normal; don't be fooled by the apparent number of grid trades. If the price keeps moving against your grid, the unpaired floating loss will keep growing, and eventually, the hard-earned grid profits won't be enough to cover it. My example is a live case: arbitrage +0.1%, total profit -0.3%, the difference is that unpaired long position.

#新手必看：这里有你需要的一切 The overall atmosphere in the US tech stock market has visibly cooled down recently.
The previously hot storage sector has experienced a significant collective pullback. This is no longer a minor fluctuation in individual stocks but a synchronized pressure across the entire sector.
Core storage stocks like SanDisk, Micron, and SK Hynix have all seen noticeable declines. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index also closed sharply lower, and the Nasdaq has recorded seven consecutive down days. It’s clear that many investors are actively reducing their risk exposure and choosing to move to safer assets.
The shift in capital is also very clear. After risk appetite declined, funds began flowing into safe-haven assets. Gold has firmly held above 4700, and Bitcoin has also risen in tandem. The growth sector is being sold off while safe-haven assets strengthen, directly reflecting the current market divergence.
At present, most investors are waiting and watching. The short-term market direction largely hinges on two upcoming major events.
Wednesday’s Nvidia earnings report will serve as a real test for the hot AI sector. The market is closely watching this report to gauge the true demand level in the AI industry and to see if the previously hyped high expectations can be supported by actual performance.
Friday’s Jackson Hole speech will deliver signals about the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy, and its statements will directly influence the pricing of various global assets.
The storage sector’s early sell-off is also the market’s way of pricing in unknown risks in advance. In such a volatile phase, there’s no need to rush in to bottom-fish, as many key outcomes have yet to materialize. Jackson Hole Night: 7 Quick Comments
Quick Review 1:
At 22:00 Beijing time, Wash took the Jackson Hole podium.
This is no ordinary speech—it's a "resurrection match" for the Fed's credibility.
In the past month, the 30-year Treasury yield briefly broke through 5.34%, the highest since 2007. The Treasury repurchased twice, each time #works for three days, then yields rebounded again #WalshPolicyFramework #AIShiftsToSoftware #BTCOptionsExpiryTest Trump mentioned $MU again. Don't chase it yet, break down the numbers.
1️⃣ The "$10 billion lab" he mentioned is not a new order today. Micron announced on 8/20 that it's a decade-long investment, starting construction in 2027, a research hub, not immediate capacity expansion.
2️⃣ The real big commitment is the over $250 billion US manufacturing pledge by 2035, aiming for about 40% domestic DRAM production. The policy focuses on this, not the headline.
3️⃣ Trump has called Micron the "hottest company" multiple times this year; it still dropped sharply on the day in July. Naming can stir sentiment but can't change priced-in expectations.
4️⃣ After today's mention, $MU still fell. The market cares about memory prices, HBM market share, and next quarter guidance, not slogans.
5️⃣ Conclusion: Long-term, US memory reshoring is still promising; short-term, treat "Trump naming" as noise. Without seeing contract price or guidance upgrades, don't use political tweets as buy signals.
$MU #Micron #Semiconductor #AIChip #HBM #Trump #USStocks #midu- The TRUMP meme coin surged from $1.37 to $3.60 (+93%), then on-chain data showed wallets linked to Trump transferred $6.2 million to OKX at the peak.
- Throughout this year, every time TRUMP coin rallied, the team cashed out through liquidity pools, cumulatively transferring over $23 million to exchanges.
- On August 22, rumors spread that "Trump was going to launch a new coin on the Robinhood chain," causing TRUMP to spike 75%. His son Eric denied it, but the team took advantage of the surge to withdraw another $3.39 million.
- In 2025, Trump's entity is expected to earn $1.4 billion from crypto business revenue, including $636 million from TRUMP coin licensing fees and $526 million from World Liberty Financial.
- 80% of TRUMP coin's supply is held by entities linked to Trump, unlocking over three years until January 2028. Every rally is their window to sell.
- 98% of TRUMP coin buyers are at a loss, with a total unrealized loss of $3.8 billion.
He holds summits at the White House to hype → policy expectations pump the price → his wallets quietly sell → retail investors take the losses. If this isn't market manipulation, what is?
But for you, this is actually a certainty — **Trump has a strong incentive to boost the crypto market during his term** because he is one of the biggest players. Holding your spot coins without moving is like hitching a ride with him. But never touch TRUMP coin itself, which he controls — that's just pure chart manipulation.If it surges higher, it plunges! Options expire, and the hidden game is stirring up the market
Latest data
$BTC surged and fell back to around 80,360, ETH 2495, SOL $105.8. Large options expired convergently, with chips clustered at strike prices. Recently, false breakouts and rapid spikes have increased significantly, and volatility has been directly amplified by derivatives.
Market consensus
Many people mistake the pullback for the exhaustion of bullish forces, but a large part is actually market makers passively adjusting their hedging positions.

3. Three Scenarios and Approximate Asset Reactions (For Reference Only, Not for Trading Decisions)
Scenario Core Speech Content Approximate Market Reaction
Above Expectations Hawkish Emphasis on Inflation Warning, Clearly Retaining Rate Hike Space USD Strengthens, US Treasury Yields Rise; Stocks, Gold, and Crypto Under Pressure and Decline
Below Expectations Dovish Concern over Weakening Employment, Inflation Pressure Eases USD Weakens, Yields Decline; Risk Assets Rebound and Rise
Neutral (Most Likely) No Clear Rate Guidance, More Talk on Financial Innovation, Everything Depends on Data Initially Volatile, Then Returns to Pricing US Economic Data.
4. Additional Minor Focus Points
The theme of this meeting is financial innovation: its impact on payments and policy. Pay attention to statements on stablecoins, digital payments, and financial regulation, which will directly affect sentiment in the crypto sector.
Views on the rise of long-term US Treasury yields and whether liquidity issues in the US Treasury market will be discussed.
After the speech, monitor the Fed's official website for the transcript, which is more accurate than real-time interpretation. #沃什今晚亮相杰克逊霍尔，能否明确政策框架？
