🔥 THIS IS THE MOST INTERESTING THING ABOUT THE BITCOIN RALLY Investors are now returning to what is called the “debasement trade”: Buying scarce assets like gold and Bitcoin when concerns about the dollar, US debt, and inflation rise. Even gold + Bitcoin ETF flows reached about $7 billion in five trading days. Is Bitcoin turning into a hedge against US fiscal issues? $BTCGold has risen to around 4700 Yet large funds continue to buy Gold has already reached near its historical highs, but funds have not significantly withdrawn. In the past week, gold ETFs reportedly attracted about $6.4 billion, one of the largest weekly inflows in nearly 10 months; and data from the World Gold Council also shows that global gold ETFs had a net inflow of $3 billion in July. I think this phenomenon is very important. Because after gold reached this level, the buying is not just about trading price increases, but more like reallocating safe-haven assets. Our previous target of 4700 has been reached, and I will not blindly chase here. But if ETF funds continue to flow in like this, the prospect of gold firmly holding 4700 and reaching $5000 is something to seriously consider. $XAU $BTC $XAUT #黄金ETF大额吸金，避险资金如何重配 NVIDIA's stock surged 8.74% the day after its earnings report, with market value increasing by over $440 billion in a single day. Several figures explain why investors are willing to chase again: quarterly revenue of $96.2 billion, doubling year-over-year; data center revenue of $89 billion, soaring 117% year-over-year; next quarter's revenue guidance directly set at $108 billion. More importantly, management expects revenue to still grow about 70% in the next fiscal year. For the past few months, the market has been worried about one thing: with companies like Microsoft, Meta, and OpenAI spending so much on building data centers, is AI capital expenditure nearing its peak? This earnings report temporarily answers no. Rubin has entered mass production, cloud providers, AI labs, sovereign AI, and enterprise customers continue to compete for computing power, and demand for AI infrastructure shows no obvious cooling. But risks are emerging: supply of key components like HBM remains tight, the Chinese market is not included in Q3 data center revenue expectations, and gross margin faces downward pressure going forward. For Crypto, the direct benefit is not that "all AI coins should rise." What is truly reinforced is the big narrative of AI computing power, Agents, machine payments, and automation. Short-term AI Tokens may continue to ride sentiment, but whether they ultimately retain value depends on real users, revenue, and on-chain demand. What this earnings report proves now is only one thing: the global money poured into AI infrastructure has not stopped yet. $NVDA $xNVDA Update: They have currently converted 36 million USDC into 441,000 HYPE over two days and staked them, with an average price of $81.6. And the purchases are still ongoing: just now, another 12 million USDC was transferred in for HYPE purchases. They currently have staked 4.826 million HYPE ($404 million), with an average price of about $66.1. The unrealized profit is $84.9 million.The market's pessimistic expectations for Xiaomi's self-developed chips are mismatched with its actual top-tier foundry, deep ARM customization, and full ecosystem integration capabilities. The current core contradiction lies in the position allocation under the balance of high R&D trial-and-error costs and undervaluation correction. Market facts show a tendency to benchmark against leading giants and apply a premium discount, but the conditions of the industrial chain are not constrained. Compared to peers who only make auxiliary chips, the company can directly obtain the latest ARM licenses and top foundry processes to realize the implementation of flagship main SoCs. The driving factors are ranked as the certainty of advanced foundry nodes, the chip digestion capacity of the full ecosystem terminals including vehicles, homes, and others, and the marginal risk of the financial base bearing long-term cash burn. When risk appetite is suppressed, low-leverage large-position funds often choose to wait for expectation repair in the low valuation range. The trigger condition for the upside scenario is the successful adoption and scaling of the main SoC across multiple terminals such as phones, cars, and IoT. The observation variables are the throughput progress of ecosystem terminals and the robustness of cash flow; the invalidation signal is the obstruction of foundry node advancement. The trigger condition for the downside scenario is the prolonged R&D cycle leading to the emergence of sunk cost pressure. The observation variable is the abnormal surge in R&D investment as a proportion of revenue; the invalidation signal is the achievement of large-scale cross-terminal mass production application of self-developed chips. Inflation and interest rate environments will transmit through capital costs to risk appetite. If the market's tolerance for long-cycle cash-burning projects declines, the rebalancing operations of low-leverage funds will directly change the chip structure. In the next 7 days, focus on observing the market's valuation repair strength for chip technology nodes and the turnover liquidity of low-leverage large positions in the current price range. #Strategy增发扩充现金，BTC配置节奏受关注 #伊朗开放临时航道，美拒恢复旧协议 #银行链上支付两条路线：稳定币与代币化存款Today's Market Didn't expect that after the Asia session was flat for half the day, it could still rally like this... And this happened while Binance spot CVD kept declining, indicating selling pressure... Moreover, this rally hit several previous highs without significant volume increase... It doesn't seem exhausted yet... In the end, it was still held down below 81k by a very unusual large sell order on Coinbase spot. ------------ Let's first look at today's order book (Chart 1) Now that the price has returned to around 80k, it has reached the resistance zone of sell orders above. Spot sell orders are concentrated above 81k. There's a large cluster at 82k. The futures market is similar; during the day, the Asia session broke through many sell orders (also taking advantage of short liquidity). Currently, the largest cluster on futures is near 82k. What’s most abnormal today is Coinbase. There is a sell order of over 900+ BTC around 80800... This size is very rare on Coinbase (liquidity there usually counts a few dozen BTC as a large order). So the price couldn't break through around 80500 today... Today, following this huge order, there was a scalp short trade. ------------- Ribbon Model (Chart 2) Since there are so many spot sell orders above, it’s understandable that the ribbon appeared again near 80k just now. So today you can continue to watch and trade the Coinbase sell order at 80800. As long as the price is near this level and the order remains, you can scalp short with the stop loss set at the order being filled. ------------- I've been saying these past two days that bulls need to hold above 80k to continue upward... Today it challenged again but failed to hold, pushed down by this huge Coinbase order... The US session today will likely be a battle for 80k... ------------ Capital Flow (Chart 3) Coinbase premium is very positive today... Since Americans woke up, it has mostly stayed above zero, never dropping below. So ETF inflows should continue today... Just need to see if ETF net inflows can rise enough to eat through this 900+ BTC order on Coinbase... ----------- Structure is also clearer today (Chart 4) The two lower POCs from today and yesterday, in the 78.3k~78.8k range, haven't been touched yet. If there is a pullback today, it’s a good low-long opportunity. The high short remains as mentioned before, just below the huge Coinbase order at 80800.Today's market theme is a rollercoaster of great joy and sorrow, with a masterful spike followed by a sharp drop, repeatedly testing the mentality of contract traders. BTC Bitcoin: Soared all the way up to 81,400, and before the cheers died down, profit-taking kicked in en masse, instantly crashing to 80,150. One moment it's a bull market cr palms sweat; the long upper shadow candlestick clearly spells out "Don't chase the highs." #WalshPolicyFramework #BTCOptionsExpiryTest #AIShiftsToSoftware 比特币 17 年，从 2 个披萨涨到 12.6 万美元，涨幅超过一万倍。但问过很多参与过币圈买卖和投资的人，赚到钱的不多，赚到大钱的寥寥无几。为什么涨了这么多，钱却没落到普通人手里，原因有 4 个，全部写在数据里。 第一，波动太大，上涨拿不住，下跌扛不住。5 轮牛熊，平均每轮熊市跌 7 成以上。2020 年 3 月黑色星期四，单日跌约 40%。持有金额占家庭资产的比例越高，越扛不住。 有个朋友，2021 年那轮牛市持有 35 个比特币，跟我聊了几个小时，说比特币远期要到一百万人民币一个。2022 年暴跌，他一个都没剩，全部卖在了底部附近。不管信仰多深，面对 70% 到 80% 的回撤，人都会做出同一个选择。 第二，不满足于比特币的涨幅，去追空气币。币圈里有个说法，只买比特币的人，被当低风险爱好者看待。因为比特币是加密世界的锚，其他币理论上都有中心，随时可以跑路。 但一夜涨 10 倍的例子太多了。这些故事把人引向波动更大、预期更高、风险也更高的币，最后归零。比特币上赚的钱，又亏在别的币上，等于白干。 第三，加杠杆，玩合约。币圈的杠杆可以加到 50 倍、100 倍。方向对了赚得快，方向错了In the past 24 hours, the market has given clearer signals than yesterday: SOL is no longer just leading in price, but is now coordinating with ETFs, on-chain activity, and institutional buying. BTC has climbed back above $80,000, but ETH is clearly lagging behind; The real direction attracting incremental funds is concentrated in SOL. This means market risk appetite is rebounding, but for now, it's still selective rotation rather than a broad rally. 1. In a nutshell: BTC has returned to $80,000, SOL has broken through $107 amid ETF, on-chain, and institutional buying, marking the market entering a selective risk appetite expansion centered on SOL. 2. 📈 Today's Market As of August 28, 10:04 HKT: BTC: $80,402 | 24h +1.81% ETH：$2,510.04｜24h +0.30% SOL: $107.82 | 24h +5.97% The Fear and Greed Index rose to 73, remaining in the "greed" range. The most important thing today is not BTC breaking above $80,000 again, but the SOL breakout that still needed confirmation yesterday, which has made significant progress. Yesterday, SOL was at $101.59, and my focus is on whether it can truly hold above $102–$105. Today, SOL directly reached $107.82, meaning the $100 breakout has moved from the "testing phase" to further confirmation. And the biggest difference between this time and yesterday is: yesterday the price rose and on-chain volume declined; Today it became: price On August 28, BTC options worth approximately $6.44 billion across the network will expire simultaneously. Due to a large concentration of pain points and open interest between $75,000 and $80,000, options market makers dynamically hedging Gamma often exert a strong "gravitational pull" or cause intense disturbances on the spot price, amplifying the volatility of the battle near this key level. BTC $80,000 Tug-of-War: Key Data and Trading Logic Market Positioning: A rise followed by a pullback, transitioning from a "derivatives squeeze" phase to a "spot chip digestion" phase. Data Breakdown: K33 Squeeze Indicator: Historically significant short liquidations and a sharp drop in open interest indicate that the early rebound was driven by short squeezes, but there is a lack of new long buyers chasing higher prices afterward. ETF Net Inflows: $1.92 billion in a single week, showing institutional spot activity, but unable to withstand concentrated profit-taking selling at high levels. Options Expiry Pressure: On August 28, $6.44 billion in options expire, heavily concentrated between $75,000 and $80,000. Market makers’ hedging will cause frequent price spikes around this level in the coming days. Trading Strategy: Before the options expiry on August 28, avoid chasing highs near the $80,000 level. Focus on observing the strength of support in the $75,000–$78,000 range and whether daily ETF inflows continue uninterrupted. Only if the spot price holds steady can a second upward move be expected; otherwise, beware of a pullback and shakeout. $BTC Putting together the data from five rounds, you can see several hard patterns. First, the 4-year halving cycle is anchored. Bitcoin's total supply capped at 21 million coins, with mining rewards halved every 4 years. In 2012, 2016, 2020, and 2024, the rewards are reduced once each. Bull market peaks usually occur 12 to 18 months after the halving. The halving in April 2024 peaks in October 2025, with almost no change in pace. Second, each bull market hits new highs, but the gains are decreasing. $31, $1,242, $19,800, $68,900, $126,000. From 500-fold, 600-fold, 130-fold, 22-fold, to this round about 8-fold. The bigger the market, the less elastic. Third, each bear market has dropped more than 70%, but the decline is narrowing. 93%, 87%, 84%, 77%, with the maximum drawdown in this round being 54%. Each bottom is higher than the last: $2, $152, $3,100, $15,500, $57,700. Fourth, catalysts are escalating. The first round relies on geeks and the dark web; the second round relies on sovereign crises and retail investors; the third round relies on ICOs and futures; the fourth round relies on institutions and listed companies; the fifth round relies on ETFs and national reserves. The main buyers have shifted from individuals to institutions and sovereign states. Fifth, every bear market narrative is the same. Exchanges fleeing, regulatory blockades, miners shutting down, Bitcoin is dead🪫$TRUMP Should you continue holding TRUMP or liquidate? The current risks far outweigh the potential rewards. The core risk lies in the tokenomics: of the total supply of 1 billion tokens, 80% are controlled by entities associated with Trump, released continuously through a three-year unlocking schedule, with about 900,000 tokens (nearly $2 million) entering the market daily. The team frequently transfers tokens to exchanges; on August 26, nearly $10 million was moved, and on September🥏$ENA knows marketing well; it changed its tokenomics at the market's hottest and most attention-grabbing moment, causing a direct surge of 30%. 1. ENA's core product is USDe, a synthetic yield stablecoin. Its yield source is BTC/ETH perpetual contract basis arbitrage, so it's called the "bull market vanguard" within the community. When the bull market arrives, capital floods into crypto, perpetual contract premiums and funding rates rise → USDe yield increases → ENA protocol TVL and revenue rise rapidly → ENA token price surges. 2. Riding the market recovery tailwind, the Ethena Foundation optimized the tokenomics: repurchasing locked tokens held by early investors, promoting further alignment of token and equity value, initiating governance proposals for revenue buyback of ENA, and canceling future monthly VC investor unlocks. All positive news, so ENA responded with a 30% surge. 3. But don’t get carried away; now is not the time to enter. Because $BTC is unlikely to break through the heavy chip lock zones at 86,000 or even 83,000, the bull market won’t come that soon. ENA rises fast in bull markets but falls just as fast in bear markets: basis shrinks, USDe attractiveness declines, capital flows out, and ENA plunges sharply. Don’t just focus on profits; protecting your principal is more important. Missing one opportunity is just a lost chance, but one mistake requires many opportunities to make up for. Friends holding positions can start taking profits gradually.$TRX has crossed a major milestone: 400 million accounts 🎯 The network reached this level on August 23, 2026, roughly 8 years after launching in 2018.

There’s real order flow backing the move. On the latest earnings call, Nvidia revealed a massive jump in multi-year supply commitments — from $119B last quarter to $279B, a staggering 134% increase in just one quarter. That kind of commitment signals something bigger. #DailyOrbit #Moonwell遭价格操纵，抵押风险暴露 The leader has something to say Moonwell has encountered an incident. The lending protocol on Base was price manipulated on August 27, resulting in a loss of approximately $8.7 million. The attack method was not complicated. The MAMO token has very shallow market depth; the attacker pushed the price up with a sum of money, then used these overvalued MAMO tokens as collateral to borrow highly liquid assets such as cbBTC, USDC, wstETH, and ETH. After borrowing, they left, leaving a pile of worthless collateral for the protocol to handle. Moonwell responded fairly quickly by directly lowering the borrowing limit on Base's core market to 1 wei, restricting new supply of MAMO and WELL, effectively shutting down the related lending functions. This issue is not due to a contract code vulnerability, but rather problems simultaneously occurring in three areas: collateral liquidity, oracle pricing, and risk parameters. MAMO itself has very poor liquidity. Allowing such a token to be used as primary collateral to borrow mainstream assets is inherently a risk parameter setting problem. Oracle prices are also easily manipulated because of insufficient trading depth; a few trades can push the price up. Once the price is distorted, the actual value of the collateral does not match the book value at all, rendering the liquidation mechanism ineffective. This serves as a reminder for the DeFi sector. In the past, everyone focused on contract security and audit reports one after another, but economic security is equally critical. Whether a token can be used as collateral depends not on whether it is listed, but on its liquidity and resistance to manipulation. We can still discuss BitMine increasing its ETH holdings, but that’s for another day. Institutional actions at this level have linear impacts and are not urgent right now. $BTC $ETH $SOL On the market, Bitcoin is oscillating around 81,000, with long positions from 78,500 to 80,000 already closed. Today is Friday and Wash is speaking; no heavy positions before the direction is clear. The above analysis is time-sensitive; orders must have stop-losses set. Good luck.$SPCX consolidates after returning to 140: Understanding the unlocking reshuffle logic and the 135-150 offense and defense standoff. $SPCX rebounded from 104 to 140, with the core logic being that supply-side events were forcibly absorbed by the market. As the leader in tokenized US stocks, the initial 20% stock unlock on August 26 did not trigger the expected panic selling; instead, it was absorbed by the market and transformed into a strong signal. This means the 1:1 token-to-real-stock pegging mechanism has been validated, providing support for its long-term narrative. $SPCX 🧱 Core logic of consolidation: the battle between mechanical support and real demand The current trend tends to seek equilibrium around 140. 1. Institutional bottom support: Looking at the chart, although 319 million shares were unlocked, the price repeatedly found buyer support without sustained selling pressure, likely indicating institutional funds are continuously absorbing these shares. 2. Macro positive resonance: SpaceX itself has a valuation benefit of 1.75 trillion, combined with the active tokenization market on the SOL chain, providing the coin price with stronger resilience than ordinary spot assets. 3. Concerns over artificial support: The current rebound shows some "mechanical" characteristics; whether real buying demand follows depends on holding above 150, otherwise gains are likely to be reversed. #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 The harshest truth of this bull market: there is no altcoin season, only a liquidity meat grinder Lately, the crypto community has been unusually quiet. BTC is grinding back and forth within a range, ETH is barely alive, the meme leaders have changed three times, and everyone says "waiting for the wind to come," but if you look at contract open interest and exchange depth—the wind hasn't come, and half the people have already left. A few days ago, I was drinking with a market maker friend, and h#沃什今晚亮相杰克逊霍尔，能否明确政策框架？ The core PCE has been above 2% for more than four years. As mentioned in previous posts, the market expects it to fall back to the target 2%, which may take 1-2 years or even longer. Additionally, inflation may fluctuate. Currently, $BTC and $ETH have respectively surpassed $80,000 and $2,500. Regarding this year's Jackson Hole symposium, I am personally more focused on whether Warsh will ease the FIMA repurchase tool, for example, to alleviate the pressure from countries like Japan selling U.S. Treasuries, thereby reducing the upward pressure on 30-year U.S. bonds. From a certain perspective, this also qualitatively releases some liquidity. Furthermore, Warsh's speech is expected to be neutral or somewhat hawkish, aiming to keep the market confident that the Federal Reserve can control inflation well. Of course, there is also the possibility of a dovish hawk. Be cautious of risks! @OKX星球 @米妮Minnie_OKX While Nvidia itself is strengthening, upstream sectors such as memory and optical modules are collectively rising, which is not a coincidental emotional follow-up but supported by solid order logic behind the scenes. The earnings call revealed core hub data: Nvidia's multi-year supply commitments surged from $119 billion last quarter to $279 billion, a single-quarter increase of 134%, with the ment used to lock in long-term memory#WalshPolicyFramework #AIShiftsToSoftware #BTCOptionsExpiryTest NVIDIA's earnings far exceeded expectations, causing a frenzy in the computing power sector, while the AI storage track collectively plunged. $SNDK SanDisk had a huge prior increase, accumulating massive profit-taking positions; with positive news landing, funds cashed out and fled directly. With Japan's 31 billion expansion news released, the market began to worry about subsequent oversupply, coupled with NVIDIA's warning of rising memory costs, funds switched between highs and lows, withdrawing from storage and returning to the computing power mainline. Currently, it is repeatedly consolidating around 1460, with strong resistance between 1480-1490, where a large amount of selling pressure to break even has accumulated; if it can't break through, it will continue to digest the selling pressure. The first support below is 1440, and if broken, there is room to fall further. Many are still fantasizing about a direct surge to 2000, but high-level chips have not been sufficiently cleaned out, chasing in easily leads to an A-shaped kill. When trading contracts, always respect leverage; a single spike can directly take out positions. Do you think this wave of SNDK is a pullback or the end of the rally? $CORE CORE token total supply locked at 2.1 billion, exactly 100 times the total supply of BTC, what does this mean behind it? Latest official document information: @Coredao_Org has set the total supply cap of the coredaoorg:native native token at 2.1 billion CORE, exactly 100 times the total supply of 21 million BTC. This deliberately aligned number is not a casual coincidence; it is a clear positioning made by the project in its narrative, but we need to distinguish symbolic meaning from actual value. 1. First, clarify the meaning of this number - BTC: total supply fixed at 21 million - CORE native token cap: 2.1 billion, exactly 100 times The project's intention is straightforward: Using Bitcoin as an anchor, build a parallel public chain for the Bitcoin ecosystem. BTC is responsible for Bitcoin's gold-standard attribute, while CORE serves as the governance, gas, and staking token of the BTC-Fi public chain, using a total supply 100 times larger to accommodate larger-scale on-chain applications and more user participation. 2.1 billion is the total supply cap, not equal to the current circulating supply. The release schedule and unlocking timetable still depend on the official token release curve; circulating supply and total supply are two completely different concepts, do not confuse them. 2. Advantages of this design 1. Very strong narrative recognition. Directly targeting BTC's 21 million makes it easy for the market to remember that this chain's foundation is the Bitcoin ecosystem, not just an ordinary general-purpose public chain. 2. Hard cap on total supply with no room for inflation, which avoids the risk of unlimited inflation diluting holders' equity in the long term, providing a foundational premise for deflationary logic. 3. Limitations that must be clearly seen A nice number does not automatically mean the value is 100 times greater. BTC's scarcity value comes from over a decade of consensus, global institutional recognition, and trillion-level liquidity. 2.1 billion is just a token parameter; value ultimately depends on two things: 1. Real on-chain economic activity: lstBTC staking scale, DeFi locked value, SatPay payments, real fees generated by ecosystem DApps; 2. Token consumption mechanisms: whether there is continuous burning, staking lock-up, etc., to reduce market circulation. If only the 2.1 billion total supply is set but there is not enough real demand on-chain to support it, then no matter how attractive the number is, it is just a paper parameter. Many new chains design a total supply number with a strong story, but whether they can succeed depends on actual implementation progress. Summary 2.1 billion tokens, 100 times BTC, is a clear design declaration of the project: committed to deeply cultivating the Bitcoin ecosystem. But it is only a starting point, not a guaranteed positive outcome. Follow-up requires continuous attention to token release schedules and real on-chain usage demand, rather than simply extrapolating the coin price based on the "100 times BTC" point alone. #CORE #CoreDAO #BTC‑Fi#沃什今晚亮相杰克逊霍尔，能否明确政策框架？ Full interpretation of the Jackson Hole speech by Walsh ⏰ Beijing time 22:00, overall tone: neutral to hawkish, no clear commitment to a September rate hike, but all rate hike options remain on the table ⚠️ The following is market information interpretation only and does not constitute any investment advice Key points from the original speech Inflation stance (hawkish core) Reaffirmed the firm defense of the 2% inflation target, absolutely no acceptance of inflation persistently above target; July PCE shows inflation remains stubborn, inflation risks have not disappeared No pre-commitment to a rate path: each meeting has the possibility of a rate hike or no change, fully dependent on subsequent data, continuing to implement the removal of forward guidance, data-driven decision-making model Did not explicitly say there will be a rate hike in September, nor did it rule out a hike. US Treasury long-end yields Acknowledged the rise in long-end yields objectively tightens financial conditions; did not intervene to "rescue the bond market," did not endorse Treasury's long bond repurchase operations, clearly separating monetary policy from fiscal debt operations. Financial innovation/stablecoins (key theme this time) Recognized stablecoins and tokenized deposits as real financial innovations; emphasized the need for strict regulation, requiring full high-liquidity reserves and comprehensive issuer supervision, no broadly positive easing statements for crypto, nor harsh bans. Focused on the disruption stablecoins cause to short-term US Treasury market liquidity. Market immediate reaction CME interest rate futures: probability of a September rate hike slightly rose from 33% to 36.5%, no change remains the baseline expectation US Treasuries: 10-year and 30-year yields rose slightly then fluctuated, no one-sided sharp rise or fall. Dollar index: slightly stronger with fluctuations. BTC: short-term rapid fluctuations, initially dipping slightly then rebounding; altcoins more volatile. Summary on BTC The speech is considered **"negative factors are partially priced in, no unexpectedly hawkish surprise, nor dovish relief"**. No worst-case scenario: no direct preview of a rate hike; No positive scenario: no signal to pause tightening; The big picture suspense is fully handed over to the next data set: September 11 CPI inflation data → September 16 FOMC meeting. Key upcoming focus order 1) 9.11 US CPI (most important, decides September rate hike) 2) Weekly initial jobless claims 3) Whether the 30-year US Treasury yield breaks 5.3% Practical tips Now is a data-driven battle window, avoid betting on one-sided moves; CPI is the real decisive factor. If CPI rebounds and rises again → September rate hike expectations surge, BTC under pressure; If CPI continues to fall and cool down → rate hike expectations decline, risk assets get breathing room. 1. The Signal Behind the Summit: More Than Just an Industry Carnival The Bitcoin Asia Summit held in Hong Kong has long gone beyond the scope of an ordinary industry gathering. The prestige of the attendees is enough to demonstrate the significance of this grand event—in addition to blockchain industry practitioners, Hong Kong legislators and heads of leading overseas institutions will attend, along with industry icons like Changpeng Zhao (CZ) and Justin Sun taking the stage to jointly discuss Bitcoin's long-term landscape over the coming decades and the direction of global capital flows. This change in the attendance lineup itself sends a strong signal: the Bitcoin market is moving from a "niche circle" to a "mainstream view," and dialogue between regulators, traditional financial institutions, and the crypto industry has shifted from "tentative contact" to "substantive discussion." A few years ago, large crypto summits were just gatherings for developers and retail traders, with topics mostly focused on technological upgrades and short-term market fluctuations. But this time, the venue was packed with family offices, overseas public funds, listed company CFOs, and policymakers. People no longer just talked about speculation and speculation; the topics shifted to corporate asset allocation, cross-border fund flows, compliant custody, and national-level digital asset strategies. The lively venue was just a surface-level spectacle. The real game took place outside the venue on the battlefield of capital. Hong Kong is becoming a hub for crypto capital in Asia, with a clear regulatory framework already in place, giving global institutions a sense of reassurance. When rules are no longer blurred, trillion-yuan capital has finally found its placeThis news brief in simple terms: AI usage is increasing, but the cost per call is getting cheaper. First, look at this report from JPMorgan: OpenRouter's token volume in August increased by 47% month-over-month, while spending only increased by 7% month-over-month. What does this indicate? Demand is indeed expanding, but the market is also competitive, with low-cost models grabbing volume. Looking at pricing, the volume-weighted average price dropped 28% month-over-month, indicating that a price war has already started. Low-cost models like GPT-5.6 Luna contributed most of the incremental volume, meaning "cheap and effective" is more favored. Impact going forward: computing power leasing and related hardware demand will be driven, but mid-to-high price models and leasing-end profits will face more pressure. Regarding the details about B200 and DRAM in the headline, the screenshot context is incomplete, so treat it as a brief news update and avoid over-interpretation.The stronger Nvidia's earnings report, the more AI trading enters a "nitpicking stage" In the past, the market only needed one phrase: demand explosion. Now that's no longer enough. Revenue beating expectations, strong orders, and continued growth in data centers—these have all been anticipated. What truly affects valuation are the less glamorous details like gross margin, memory costs, customer concentration, and #PCEToJacksonHole #AIMonetizationBroadens #BTCOptionsExpiryTest #沃什今晚亮相杰克逊霍尔，能否明确政策框架？ The latest core PCE inflation remained flat compared to last month, with inflation stickiness still stubborn and a clear gap from the 2% target; the resilience of the US economy and employment exceeded expectations, leaving the Federal Reserve in a dilemma. The biggest change since Wash took office is the complete weakening of forward guidance, cancellation of the dot plot forecast, and refusal to give future interest rate commitments, advocating that policy decisions rely entirely on real-time economic data at each meeting. This is also the market's biggest concern: the lack of clear guidance will amplify volatility in the bond market and risk assets. Three speech scenarios simulation Scenario 1: Hawkish stance (low probability) Emphasize the slow decline of inflation, keep the option of rate hikes within the year, and do not release easing signals. US Treasury yields rise rapidly, the US dollar strengthens, BTC faces pressure at high levels, and is likely to retest the key support at 77,500‑78,000. Scenario 2: Neutral and pragmatic (highest probability) Reaffirm the 2% inflation target without change, continue to downplay forward guidance, only explain the Federal Reserve's framework reform ideas, and make no hints about the September rate decision meeting. The market maintains high-level oscillation, BTC continues to range between 78,000‑81,000, awaiting subsequent nonfarm payroll and inflation data releases. Scenario 3: Dovish and reassuring (very low probability) Acknowledge marginal cooling of inflation, signal that high interest rates can be maintained gradually, dispelling market fears of aggressive rate hikes. US Treasury yields fall, risk asset sentiment warms, and BTC is expected to challenge the 80,000 level again.$PURR ’s report explains why $HYPE is attracting attention. PURR holds ~29.3M HYPE worth ~$1.9B, with no debt, but its $30.55M profit includes unrealized gains; actual staking and validator income was ~$9.5M. The bigger story is the flywheel: Hyperliquid fees → HYPE buybacks → higher HYPE value → stronger PURR NAV → more financing → more HYPE purchases. PURR could become a “stock-ification” vehicle for HYPE. But with mNAV near 1.35x. #WalshPolicyFramework #AIShiftsToSoftware NVIDIA's earnings report far exceeded expectations, with data center revenue surging significantly and pushing the stock up after hours. Initially, it was expected that the storage sector would benefit as well, but instead, the leading stocks gained while the smaller ones suffered. Micron, SNDK SanDisk, and Western Digital all plunged collectively, with only SK Hynix barely holding the red zone thanks to HBM orders. SanDisk's highest gain this year has already exceeded 500%, with a large amount of profit-taking piled up at high levels. Once positive news is realized, funds cash out and exit. Additionally, with the news of a ¥31 billion expansion in Japan, the market has started to worry about subsequent oversupply. Coupled with NVIDIA's warning about rising memory costs, capital has directly withdrawn from the high-level storage sector and flowed back into the computing power mainline. After a sharp rise to 1585, the price quickly fell back and is now fluctuating around 1460. The 15-minute trend has already weakened, with resistance above at 1489-1494, which is a previous dense chip area. If it can't break through, selling pressure will continue to be digested. The first support below is at 1462; if that doesn't hold, it will test the low at 1440. Many are still hoping for a surge to 2000, but in this differentiated market, one must be wary of an A-shaped drop. All the positive earnings news has already been priced in, and before high-level chips are sufficiently cleared, blindly chasing highs is very likely to catch the last leg down. Don't be misled by market illusions; in this storage rally, it's not about being bullish but about respecting profit-taking. Be especially cautious with high-level contract leverage, as a single spike can directly wipe out positions. Be patient and wait for the consolidation to end before discussing a new round of rallies. $SNDK Grayscale CEO made a bold statement: Don't just look at the price, institutions are entering the market. The data indeed looks good—Bitcoin ETP daily flows have repeatedly exceeded $500 million, which is 12 times the daily output of miners; 73% of institutional investors plan to increase their holdings, and 60% of Fortune 500 companies are advancing blockchain projects. But there is a subtle narrative shift here: from "Bitcoin versus traditional finance" to "traditional finance embracing Bitcoin." Mintzberg's phrase "entering the existing regulatory framework" translates to—crypto is becoming part of TradFi. Is this a victory or a compromise? When EY's survey becomes a source of industry confidence, and institutional allocation becomes an argument for a bull market, this industry is no longer the rebellious youth "bypassing banks." The complementary theory of AI + blockchain is also intriguing: one is responsible for computing power, the other for trust, together forming the story template Wall Street loves the most.Caught the falling knife at 1500 on SanDisk, quick and decisive Last night’s SanDisk scenario, I’m familiar with it, so familiar I want to slap myself. Opened high, turned red, then plunged—three moves as smooth as Dove chocolate. I was right at the 1500 mark, watching the market, my mind racing with calculations: dropped from 2382, a deep 35% pit, earnings multiplied several times, gross margin hit 84%, there should be a rebound, right? So I hesitated briefly and went long. Then the market schooled me, lesson after lesson. 1460 broke like it was made of paper, I was stunned. Why the drop? Not some earth-shattering bad news, just two points: first, the guidance didn’t satisfy Wall Street’s hungry wolves—they wanted 10.8 billion, you gave 10.55 billion, just a bite short, and they turned on you faster than flipping a page; second, rumors that Apple might buy storage from another supplier sent the market into a panic, as if NAND prices were about to crash like cabbage. Simply put, it had risen too much before, who doesn’t have some floating profits? When the wind shifts, they run faster than rabbits. Do you think 1500 was a bad spot? I don’t. PE, buybacks, fundamentals, none of those are weak, but the entire storage sector is tanking, and no matter how strong SanDisk is, it can’t withstand the collective collapse of its weak teammates. This time, consider it tuition paid to the market. Now I’m watching the show around 1440, waiting for volume to shrink and the drop to stall before making a move. Catching a falling knife too early means the knife is still falling and your hand is still bleeding. Next time, I’ll wait for it to bounce on the ground a couple of times before picking it up. $SNDK Up 25% in a week, SOL has crushed 100 underfoot, the wildest in the market $SOL current price 107.5, up nearly 7% in 24 hours, soaring 25% in a week, rising 36.5% from 77.18 on August 18 — 9 days, directly becoming the second hottest in the top ten by market cap. Why so strong? Three words: real money. First, ETFs are crazy. Net inflows totaled a record 1.22 billion, with Monday’s single-day 33.5 million being the largest this year; Bitwise’s BSOL alone absorbed 950 million, who wouldn’t love a free annualized 5.7% staking yield? Morgan Stanley and Charles Schwab have also joined — this is no longer retail coins. Second, on-chain is pumped. Last week, 1.3 billion non-voting transactions set a record, DEX trading volume has beaten Coinbase and Bybit globally for 9 consecutive weeks, with 16 billion stablecoins lying on-chain waiting for the wind. Third, supply is about to unleash a big move. Governance proposals SGP-0002 and SGP-0003 are voting; if passed, 18.9 million fewer SOL (about 1.7 billion USD) will be issued over the next 6 years, the deflation narrative is really coming. But don’t get carried away: RSI once surged to 84, contract positions at 7.1 billion, leverage piled high, one fall could trigger a chain explosion. Key levels: above 110, hold to see 120-135; below 100, 94.4, break down to watch the 200-day line at 81. In short: institutional bull + deflation expectations + on-chain explosion, SOL is serious this round, but overbought is overbought — chasing highs feels good for a moment, liquidation is a funeral pyre. I’m waiting for a pullback near 100, not chasing, got it? #Solana mainnet acceleration, will node thresholds rise? #沃什今晚亮相杰克逊霍尔，能否明确政策框架？ $SOL has traded around $100 six times over the past five years, but its valuation kept changing: 2021 → $29B 2022 → $34B 2023 → $43B 2025 → $52B 2026 → $57B Aug 2026 → $59B Same $100 price, completely different market cap. While the chart may look similar, Solana’s valuation has nearly doubled. That’s the key point: $100 $SOL today represents a much larger network and market than the $100 $SOL of previous years. #WalshPolicyFramework #AIShiftsToSoftware SOL's community snapshots provide both popularity and tone, but not necessarily on the same side. As of 06:00 on August 28, OKX Onchain OS recorded 71 mentions of SOL in one hour, including 69 x mentions and 2 news articles; The total for 24 hours was 652. The latest hour is 2.61 times the long-window hourly average, which is about 161% higher than the 24-hour average, which can be classified as "clearly accelerating." This speed describes new discussions and is not necessarily related to market fluctuations. The text tone is 72% bullish, 7% bearish, and about 21% neutral, currently classified as "clearly bullish dominance." 55% bullish and 7% bearish in 24 hours; If there is a gap between the two windows, it should first be understood as a change in discussion structure, rather than directly defering the price target. I would separate these two lines. If the tone is excessive but mentions slow down, it means the current discussion is more positive, but new attention hasn't accelerated; If mentions increase and the bias is bearish but dominant, it may be a risk or faulty message attracting people. Even if the buzz and tone are in the same direction, it still cannot be directly equated with genuine buying. Sources are another limitation. Currently, SOL is "almost entirely driven by X." Social channels respond fastest, and the same topic can be repeatedly shared; The more concentrated the sources, the more the next window needs confirmation. An increase in news mentions does not automatically mean the event is true; the original announcement remains the final verification standard. Within 24 hours, SMorning of August 28 BTC Futures Entry: Short around 2535-2555, stop loss at 2575, first target 2490, second target 2460. From the 1-hour BTC Futures chart, the price has strongly rebounded from the low of 2431, surged to around 2566, then faced resistance and pulled back, currently consolidating near 2508. The short-term moving averages on the hourly chart have turned downward, exerting clear pressure on the price. The 2535-2555 zone above is a dense area of previous high-volume chips from the earlier surge and pullback, gathering many short-term profit takers and trapped positions, making it easy for the rebound to be resisted again here. MACD shows a high-level death cross downward, with bullish momentum rapidly weakening. After continuous rallies, the market needs further correction and consolidation. This is a pullback consolidation after a strong rise. Do not chase longs; wait for a rebound to the resistance zone before entering short positions. Place stop loss at 2575; if volume breaks through this level, it indicates continuation of the bullish structure, and the strategy should be adjusted promptly. First target is 2490; after reaching it, reduce positions in batches; if 2490 is effectively broken down, continue holding and look toward 2460. During this high-level consolidation phase, operate with light positions and set stop losses properly. #沃什今晚亮相杰克逊霍尔，能否明确政策框架？ I really like and am optimistic about Axis Robotics. Unfortunately, I'm naturally clumsy, and I can never get the robotic arm tasks right. It's not for lack of trying; I sincerely gave it a shot, but still no success... This feeling is like in Sun Ge's new-new-new concept essay "My Girlfriend Jing Tian" — clearly loving deeply, yet ultimately unable to be with her. I asked ChatGPT and got a calm response: Give up and do what you're good at. Helplessly, I painfully let go and can only tearfully say to Princess @0xsexybanana: Sorry, Mom, let me love you one last time! @axisrobotics --- Back to the main topic, let's seriously talk about Axis Robotics. Recently, Axis Robotics got listed on Katalyst and announced a partnership with Binance Wallet, so the hype has definitely picked up, causing many to mistakenly think: Axis Robotics is the leader in Physical AI. But I have to pour cold water: Axis Robotics is still just a small player, somewhat like Sun Ge before he rose to fame. Next, with an objective attitude, without hype or bashing, let's re-examine Axis Robotics' position in the industry. Axis Robotics is actually the "shovel seller" in Physical AI; they don't build robots but solve what robots lack: training data. Teleoperation, task generation, simulation, data collection, quality verificationEURR begins with distribution, not scale. Public issuance started Aug 20, followed by Revolut's phased rollout to eligible users in Denmark, Poland and Portugal on Aug 26. Bridge Building legally issues the stablecoin, redeemable 1:1 for euros on Ethereum and Polygon. The early reserve snapshot of roughly 374 euros confirms little beyond testing. The real signal will be whether Revolut can convert its 80M-plus retail users and 16M crypto users into repeat trading, transfer and payment activity. Reach creates an unusually strong launch channel, but utility must still earn demand. Not advice, just analysis. #RevolutLaunchesEURRI am quite optimistic about Xiaomi developing its own chips. However, the market's overall perception of Xiaomi's chips is currently negative, and many understand that Xiaomi's chips are not on the same level as Apple or Qualcomm. But honestly, Xiaomi's deep ARM customization is not as bad as people say online. Investing often falls into a trap of comparing directly with industry leaders at the top. Comparing Xiaomi to Apple is like comparing Tsinghua or Peking University to an ordinary university—the starting points and accumulations are completely different. Those optimistic about Apple can invest in Apple, but with Apple's current valuation, I personally dare not touch it. My logic for Xiaomi is straightforward: the stock price is low, and the company's fundamentals are basically sound. I choose to hold a low-leverage large position, betting on a future market expectation recovery and reversal. If we objectively compare Xiaomi, Huawei, OPPO, and vivo, the strengths and weaknesses of each domestic manufacturer become clearer. Among these, Xiaomi's relative advantages are also very prominent: compared to Huawei, it is not restricted externally, can obtain the latest ARM licenses and top-tier foundry processes, and does not have to compromise on iteration; compared to OPPO and vivo, it is one of the few domestic manufacturers that truly implements flagship main SoCs, not just imaging co-chips; meanwhile, its ecosystem in phones, cars, and home devices is larger, with chips landing in smartphones, automobiles, and IoT, and its finances are stable enough to withstand long-term costly trial and error.$COIN stock price rebounded 4.92% in 24 hours to $190.72, with an 8.3x P/S and $6.04 billion annualized revenue solidifying its valuation base, but macro high interest rates and SEC regulatory lawsuits still suppress valuation upside. In a horizontal comparison of related US stock targets, Coinbase, with a 24-hour trading volume of $9.19M, has a market cap of $50.32B and annualized revenue of $60.4B. This outperforms MSTR, which has a $54.59B market cap corresponding to $498.35M revenue supporting cash flow, and its price elasticity is higher than HOOD, which has a $98.68B market cap and $4.93B annualized revenue. The trading desk ranks the driving factors as follows: the Federal Reserve's interest rate path limiting risk asset valuation preferences, revenue growth determined by fees and custody fees, and compliance premium disturbances caused by SEC and DoL lawsuits. The bullish scenario is based on the assumption of a 20% to 50% expansion in P/S valuation. If compliance advantages translate into increased trading frequency, the market will lean toward optimism. It is necessary to observe increases in 13F institutional holdings and buyback disclosures; if institutions significantly reduce holdings, the upside conditions fail. The bearish scenario assumes a prolonged macro high interest rate environment and concentrated release of negative regulatory lawsuit news. There is a risk of market cap adjustment downward from $50.32B to a halved level. Signals to watch include slowing revenue growth and AI capex investment falling short of expectations. If trading volume expands and trading fees rebound, the bearish logic fails. The consolidation scenario corresponds to a neutral macro preference and no major surprises in financial reports. Valuation will settle around an 8.3x P/S, with subsequent verification of gross margin and net profit through 10-Q and 10-K reports. Core focus for the next 7 days includes changes in US macro interest rate expectations, the release of 13F institutional holdings reports, and volume support performance at the $190.72 level. #OpenAI自研芯片亮相，推理成本成关键 #黄金ETF大额吸金，避险资金如何重配JPMorgan is about to launch a stablecoin. Who will win between banks and crypto-native routes? JPMorgan is evaluating issuing its own stablecoin. Meanwhile, JPMorgan, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and Santander are forming a global stablecoin alliance. Interestingly, there is a divergence in routes: one side is "deposit tokens" (on-chain deposits recorded on bank ledgers), and the other is "stablecoins" (1:1 pegged tokens issued by independent entities). JPMorgan wants to pursue both. Its Kinexys platform already processes over $7 billion daily, with a cumulative total exceeding $4 trillion — this is not a newcomer entering the market, but a veteran expanding its reach. Impact on our choice of U cards: the underlying settlement network is being reshaped by traditional banks. In the future, choosing a card will not only depend on cashback but also on which settlement channel the card uses and whether it meets compliance standards. When I compare on PayAll, I prioritize whether the settlement network is bank-grade infrastructure.TGA buybacks are just robbing Peter to pay Paul; fiscal concerns are the long-term shackles. The U.S. Treasury is using TGA account funds to conduct Treasury buybacks. Many in the market interpret this directly as monetary easing and a positive signal, but essentially this is just a debt maturity structure adjustment, a temporary fix that does not solve the root problem. The deep fiscal pressure in the U.S. has not been alleviated.#PCEToJacksonHole #AIMonetizationBroadens #BTCOptionsExpiryTest Why do I still have confidence in storage? The most extreme issue with storage right now is that the shortage has lasted for more than just one quarter. The CEO of $SKHYNIX Hynix recently assessed that the global memory shortage could continue until 2030; the company currently holds about 58% of the HBM market share and is preparing to invest $4 billion to build an advanced HBM4E packaging base in the United States. $MU Micron focuses on HBM+DRAM, Hynix benefits from leading HBM dividends, while $SNDK leans more towards NAND and enterprise-grade SSDs. SanDisk's latest quarterly revenue was $8.97 billion, a 51% quarter-over-quarter increase, with data center revenue doubling; more importantly, about two-thirds of this 51% growth came from price increases, not just selling more products. This is why I continue to be bullish on storage now: AI servers are being built more and more, and there is not only a shortage of GPUs but also a need for more HBM, DRAM, and SSDs. SanDisk and Kioxia even recently announced plans to jointly invest over $31 billion in Japan by 2032 to expand storage technology and capacity. If I were to invest in only one company, it would undoubtedly be Hynix. But storage is ultimately a cyclical industry, so the key concern going forward is not the AI story but whether storage prices can hold steady and whether expansion speed can catch up with demand. As long as the shortage does not significantly ease, storage is far from over. #JaneStreet持有闪迪5%，AI存储估值再受审视 Many traders are still judging current market trends based on the experience of four-year halving and old cycles. But after spot ETFs launched and traditional finance flooded in, the underlying logic of the crypto market has undergone structural changes. Some of the lessons summarized by past bull and bear markets have become invalid. Understanding the rules that have been rewritten is the only way to avoid holding onto old maps and seeking new paths in the world. This article compiles seven repetitionable market patterns, covering capital, market rotation, risk, valuation, and currency differentiation, suitable for collecting, sharing, and benchmarking the market. Rule 1: A large-scale upward trend does not equal a broad bull market; structural differentiation becomes the norm. In the old cycle market, $BTC once activated, capital flows out fully, with most coins rising in turn, and thousands of coins soaring simultaneously. The logic of the institutional era has completely changed: incremental funds prioritize allocation to compliant leading BTC, followed by small amounts flowing into ETH. A large amount of capital is locked in the ETF system, with no downward penetration into small and mid-cap coins. BTC often hits new highs, and many altcoins fluctuate or even fall negatively. A bull market doesn't necessarily mean the coins you hold will rise. A rise in total market capitalization doesn't mean wealth is distributed equally. Market dividends are concentrated in a few assets; most coins can only wait for liquidity spillover windows; if they don't arrive, they will be marginalized for a long time. A broad rally bull market has become a low-probability event; structural rallies are the market mainstream. Rule 2: ETF funds only determine the bottom, not the top. Don't equate net inflows with inevitable rises. Many people simply treat net ETF inflows as a mindless signal to go long. The purpose of institutional funds is to provide support during downturnsFor those who keep thinking about shorting, take it easy. As mentioned in previous posts, after this big market rally, the first to activate is ETF capital. The nature of ETF capital is that the more it rises, the more it buys, and the more it falls, the more it sells. Recently, both BTC and ETH have been very strong. By strong, I mean I haven't seen obvious negative feedback, mainly thanks to the continuous big bullish candles last week, and strong ETF buying power every working day this week. On Monday and Tuesday this week, there was a net inflow of over 300M each day. This capital effectively absorbed those who wanted to short. This round is particularly strong for ETH, SOL, and HYPE. HYPE's ETF capital yesterday (14.7M) was twice that of the previous day, and HYPE also hit a new all-time high yesterday. Under the market conditions of rising volume and price, the unlocking on the 29th may not cause a big pullback. SOL and ETH have also seen very strong ETF net inflows in recent working days, and this momentum is vividly reflected in the candlestick patterns. When BTC falters a bit, ETH, SOL, and HYPE can all hold steady at high levels. The overall candlestick pattern shows higher highs and higher lows continuously. I believe this story is not over yet. So don't short, don't short. #BTC突破80000美元，能否站稳新关口 #BTC surges then falls back, options expiry amplifies the key level battle BTC has been tugging back and forth around the 80,000 level these past few days, surging up only to be pushed down again. It's clear that both bulls and bears are fighting hard at this level. This surge and fall is closely related to the options expiry on Friday. 📌 What happened? On August 28, Bitcoin options worth $6.44 billion expired on Deribit, involving 81,700 contracts, with 44,639 calls and 37,061 puts, overall leaning bullish. The key strike prices are concentrated around $75,000 and $80,000, with nominal value exceeding $500 million within 5% of Bitcoin's current price. This means market makers need to hedge positions intensively before settlement, amplifying short-term volatility. 🔍 Why the surge then fall? ① Gamma hedging: the “magnetic effect” of key price levels When Bitcoin’s price approaches strike prices with dense open interest, market makers’ hedging causes two effects — prices get “pinned” near the strike price, or once broken through, accelerate past it. BTC surged to around 80,700 then started falling, indicating selling pressure near $80,000 indeed exists. ② Max pain point far from spot price This expiry’s max pain is in the $68,000–70,000 range, while spot Bitcoin is near $79,000–80,000, a difference of about $9,000–11,000. This divergence means market makers are motivated to guide prices toward the max pain point before and after settlement, suppressing bulls. 🎯 Key takeaway Options expiry is a short-term disturbance, not a trend driver. Large expiries themselves don’t determine direction; they mainly amplify the ongoing trend. The CEO of New Market Trading also mentioned expiry weeks “always sound scarier than they actually are.” About 62% of contracts will expire worthless this time, and September’s expiry size is nearly double this one. In the short term, $75,000–80,000 is the core battleground for bulls and bears, with prices likely to fluctuate repeatedly. Medium to long term depends on ETF capital flows and macro policy trends. For ordinary people, just knowing what’s going on is enough — don’t heavily bet on direction before or after options settlement; wait until the market passes this hurdle. $BTC 📌This Week's Crypto Market Recap｜Short Squeeze Surge Followed by High-Level Tug of War BTC surged 26% from 62,400 on a short squeeze, reaching a 5-month high of 81,200. ETH rose 31% in a week, holding steady above 2,500; XRP nearly 50%, ZEC soared 70% hitting an 8-year high; total market cap increased by 474 billion in a week, with the greed index peaking at 81, indicating extreme greed. Bears suffered heavy losses, BTC broke through 80,000 triggering 1.06 billion in liquidations; bears lost 3 billion USD over the week, with multiple instances of both longs and shorts being wiped out. Underlying market logic: ETF net inflow of 2.6 billion in a week, with BlackRock accounting for 80%; US crypto regulatory policy shift; US Treasury repo + weak dollar supporting risk assets. From Wednesday, whales started reducing positions at highs, causing a market pullback. Now 80,000 is the critical line: continued ETF inflows could push towards 85,000-90,000; if funds retreat, a retest of 73,000 is possible. It's options expiry week, volatility will continue to intensify, so manage position risk accordingly. #美国核心PCE持平上月，沃什杰克逊霍尔讲话如何定调？ #BTC冲高回落，期权到期放大关口博弈 #财报观察员：英伟达超预期，软件收入开始兑现 $ETH $SNDK $BTC Assassin Wu Liuqi 【Assassin Market Watch】 ETH current price $2519.6, Aqi's short assassination plan is as follows: 🎯 Short entry range: 2545～2555 (The short pain point wall above is near 2549, a squeeze-out level; strike as soon as it touches the wall) 🔴 Stop loss: above 2582 (Breaking the wall with a gap buffer; if it passes this line, Aqi admits defeat and won't stubbornly hold) 🎯 Target 1: 2489 (bullish pain point, take profit at the wall, first cut in the bag) 🎯 Target 2: 2450 (breakdown to watch for a deep pullback, second cut depends on fate) ⚖️ 50x light position 3% (=1.5x leverage), risk-reward ratio about 1:2, worthwhile. --- Why does Aqi dare to strike at this position? · Funding rate +0.235% turned positive and relatively high, bulls start squeezing to pay rent, crowded. · LSR Trader 4.31 / Whale 4.19, both extremes biased bullish, retail investors unanimously bullish—Aqi's favorite reverse harvesting signal. · 15m/1h spike just hits the short liquidation wall near $2549, high probability of squeeze-out realization, Aqi is just waiting for this. ⚠️ Note! 1h/4h/1d all timeframes show strong uptrend; this is a counter-trend short at the wall, only aiming to catch the spike pullback. Must exit at 2489, strike and run, never hold or fight. Don't chase if it doesn't reach 2545, no naked shorts without touching the wall; Aqi doesn't do uncertain trades. On the morning of August 28, $BTC repeatedly spiked above 80,000, reaching a high of about 80,800-80,850; 81,500 was not a valid breakout but rather a wick sweep in the 81K-81.2K resistance zone. Causes of the spike: ① On 8/26, about 270 million long positions were liquidated, leverage clearing was not complete; ② On 8/28, about $6.4 billion BTC options expired, with major players using the expiry date to create volatility and clear chasing longs; ③ NVDA's earnings exceeded expectations, boosting risk appetite, but after nine days of ETF net inflows, the initial value on 8/27 dropped to 42.6 million, and spot buying slowed marginally. Technical positioning: 81.2K-81.3K is this week's dense high zone plus the 30-day high; only a breakout here opens the way to 83K-85K; below, 79.6K-80K is the first support, and losing 78.5K targets 76.5K-77K. Intraday judgment: 80,000 was regained but not broken through, indicating healthy high-level rotation rather than a trend reversal. Holding above 81.2K → follow longs targeting 83K; breaking below 78.5K → deep correction begins. Tonight at 22:00, Warsh's Jackson Hole speech is the macro trigger for directional choice. ⚠️ Options expiry + macro events overlap, volatility expands; avoid heavy chasing orders, wait for a breakout above 81.2K or a breakdown below 78.5K to follow on the right side. $ETH $SOL #美国核心PCE持平上月，沃什杰克逊霍尔讲话如何定调？ Core PCE didn't drop; will Warsh suddenly turn hawkish tonight? #美国核心PCE持平上月，沃什杰克逊霍尔讲话如何定调？ July core PCE year-over-year is 3.3%, exactly the same as last month; month-over-month it actually rose from 0.1% to 0.2%. This data set is quite awkward: it's not like inflation is out of control; but saying it's already contained is clearly too early. So the most important thing about Warsh's speech at 10 PM tonight isn't whether he says "hawkish" or "dovish," but whether he draws a clear line on a rate hike in September. My personal feeling is that he probably won't close the door on it and will continue to leave a "wait for further data" stance. For BTC, this kind of ambiguous attitude is actually the most torturous, likely causing wild swings and shaking out leverage on both sides. $BTC 🚨 POLYMARKET’S LATEST MOVE COULD BE BIGGER THAN IT LOOKS Polymarket’s U.S. platform withdrew its NFL player participation contracts on August 26 just one day after they had been certified. On that same day, something else happened: The platform certified new Bitcoin, Ether and Solana price contracts with the CFTC. The CFTC’s own registry shows the BTC, ETH and SOL products as certified binary-option swaps, while the NFL participation contracts were marked withdrawn. That contrast is what caught my attention. It suggests the platform is becoming increasingly selective about which event-contract products it wants to take forward within the U.S. regulatory framework. And crypto appears to be one of the areas moving forward. 🟠 WHY THIS MATTERS FOR $BTC Bitcoin price exposure is increasingly being integrated into regulated financial infrastructure. This doesn't mean more people buying spot BTC tomorrow. But it does create another regulated avenue for market participants to express views around Bitcoin prices. That matters as crypto continues moving deeper into traditional financial markets. 🔵 ETH & SOL ARE PART OF THE STORY TOO What's even more interesting is that this isn't Bitcoin alone. $BTC $ETH $SOL All three received certified price contract products on the same day. That potentially signals a broader shift from treating crypto as a niche market toward building regulated financial products around multiple major digital assets. Ethereum and Solana being included alongside Bitcoin is especially worth watching if this category continues expanding. ⚖️ BUT DON'T OVERHYPE IT The important distinction is that CFTC certification of contracts doesn't mean the agency is endorsing the assets or predicting their prices. It's a regulatory/product-development milestone, not a guaranteed bullish catalyst. And Polymarket's withdrawal of the NFL contracts also shows that regulatory boundaries around prediction-market products remain complicated.
