#美联储7月FOMC纪要9比3，官员加息分歧仍在
#ETH强势拉升，空头清算超11亿美元
1. Plain explanation of the news: Why the base is stable and why the rally lacks strength
Key core positives supporting the bottom and preventing deep drops
1. US Treasury rescues the bond market, liquidity environment fully eased (the fundamental backing)
Starting September, the US doubles the long-term Treasury repurchase quota, causing long-term bond yields to plunge and the dollar to weaken. With bond market risk-free yields falling, interest-free assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum become highly attractive, prompting massive global idle funds to flee bonds and flow into crypto and US stock risk assets. As long as Treasury yields don’t suddenly reverse and spike, the foundation of this rally remains intact, with dip buyers ready to step in, preventing cliff-like crashes.
2. Regulatory clouds significantly dissipate, Ethereum benefits more than BTC
Trump publicly urged Congress to accelerate the passage of the CLARITY Digital Asset Act, clarifying regulatory responsibilities; combined with the SEC’s new small token financing exemption, the looming threat of Ethereum being classified as a security is temporarily lifted. Institutions no longer need to cautiously wait and large previously hesitant funds start allocating to Ethereum, a key reason why ETH’s gains far exceed Bitcoin’s this round.
3. Ethereum ETF sees largest single-day inflow in ten months, institutions firmly support the bottom
Recently, Ethereum spot ETFs had a net inflow of $189 million in one day, with BlackRock’s leading products accounting for most inflows, ending months of continuous redemptions. Institutional strategy shifts to “buying the dip in batches,” greatly strengthening downside support and making large unsupported sell-offs unlikely.
4. Shorts forced liquidations reduce selling pressure in the short term
After breaking the key $2100 level, many leveraged short positions on ETH were forcefully liquidated. Shorts exiting must buy back Ethereum to close positions, snowballing the price from around $1900 to above $2330, significantly clearing short resistance above and raising support below.
Risks causing stagnation and inability to continue a reckless surge
1. Nearly 20% surge in just two days, indicators severely overbought, profit-taking clusters
A few hundred dollars’ rise in days means short-term low-entry funds have substantial profits. After hitting the $2330 resistance zone, profit-taking selling surged, buying support lagged, and price slowly retreated to $2321. Technically, consolidation is needed to digest profits and cool overheated indicators.
2. All positives realized at once, no new major news to follow up
Treasury repo, regulatory easing, ETF inflows, and short covering—all major positives have been priced in. Now only existing funds are trading back and forth, with no sudden macro news to boost momentum, internal upward drive is clearly exhausted.
3. Fed hides hawkish bottom line, economic data may overturn easing expectations anytime
The latest Fed minutes clearly state that if inflation data rebounds, the option to resume rate hikes remains. Upcoming PCE, CPI, and nonfarm data warming would immediately push Treasury yields up, quickly cooling this rate-cut expectation-driven rally, representing the biggest mid-to-long-term risk.
4. Legislation is only an expectation, short-term implementation unlikely, large institutions refuse to chase highs
US Congress is still in recess, regulatory bills won’t be voted on soon. Large asset managers uniformly adopt the strategy: buy dips to build base positions, never aggressively add at highs. This rally mainly relies on short-term speculative and covering funds; long-term incremental capital is absent, making sustained one-sided rallies difficult.
2. Market plain-language interpretation, key price levels to distinguish strength (current price $2321)
1. Intraday short-term strength lifeline: $2280
Current price $2321 firmly above this level; holding $2280 maintains strong intraday consolidation; a volume break below would quickly cool short-term buying enthusiasm, immediately testing the $2200 core support.
2. Most important defense bottom line this rally: $2200
Previously a strong resistance, once effectively broken, it becomes a bullish moat. As long as $2200 holds, the uptrend remains intact; if broken, the short squeeze phase ends, returning to $2000-range consolidation.
3. Short-term first strong resistance: $2330 ~ $2400
Intraday highs plus dense previous trapped positions; to break higher and restart a strong rally, volume must push and hold above $2400; currently stuck at $2321, suppressed by selling pressure in this zone.
4. Mid-to-long-term resistance: $2500
Requires continued Treasury weakness and sustained large Ethereum ETF inflows for resonance; unlikely to be reached in the short term.
Market summary
Daily chart fully breaks out of the $1850-1950 long-term weak consolidation zone, mid-term trend shifts from weak to strong; but hourly volume clearly shrinks, rally lacks strength. Simply put: the bottom is solid, deep drops are unlikely; new highs are hard to break, entering a consolidation phase after a big rally.
Short-term trading range: $2200 — $2400
3. Three most probable subsequent scenarios
1. Highest probability: range-bound back-and-forth consolidation
Bitcoin stabilizes above $70,000, Treasury yields remain steady, Ethereum oscillates between $2200 and $2400. Gradually digesting profits and repairing overbought indicators, following BTC’s small fluctuations, mainly time-consuming consolidation, unlikely to see large one-sided moves.
2. Another rally to challenge $2400, test $2500
Must meet two hard conditions simultaneously:
① Treasury yields continue falling, dollar does not rebound, no negative US inflation-related data;
② BTC firmly holds above $71,000, overall market risk appetite remains strong;
Only with volume pushing and holding above $2400 is there a chance to test $2500 resistance; lacking either condition, rallies are mostly false breakouts.
3. Start a wave of pullback, giving back some gains
Treasury yields rebound, BTC falls below $71,000, ETH breaks short-term lifeline at $2285, further testing $2200 key support; if $2200 is decisively lost, price quickly falls to $2000~$2050 range, concentrating on repairing this rally.
#美财政部扩大长债回购，30年美债高位回落 #BTC突破72000美元，本轮上涨能否延续？ #美联储7月FOMC纪要9比3，官员加息分歧仍在 BTC一夜站上7万，全网高喊牛市来了，牛真的回来了吗🚨
A strong bullish candle changed beliefs, BTC surged over 8% in a single day, directly touching the 70,000 mark; $ETH showed even more explosive elasticity, rising nearly 20% intraday, violently pulling from 1900 to 2300.
In the past 24 hours, a large-scale liquidation of shorts occurred across the network, with liquidations exceeding 2.7 billion.
The last time BTC had a single-day increase over 7% was in April this year. This wave directly wiped out two months of losses, with prices returning to early June levels. The total crypto market cap surged 7.2% in one day, rising from 2.26 trillion to 2.45 trillion, and secondary altcoins experienced a long-awaited broad rally.
Before the market started, CZ stated that the market had already bottomed, and Wang Chun even directly declared the bear market over.
But after a calm analysis, I tend to believe this is a strong rebound, not a cycle reversal.
The three major positives driving this rally have all been emotionally amplified by the market; the market is trading on expectations rather than real incremental benefits from actual positive developments.
🔹1. Ministry of Finance expands long-term bond repurchases (the core catalyst of this rally)
The logic is clear: long-term bond yields remain high, increasing fiscal interest payment pressure. The Ministry of Finance raised the single repurchase limit, causing long-term bond yields to fall rapidly.
US Treasury yields are the denominator for global risk asset valuations; as yields fall, funds flow out of bonds into risk assets. Gold simultaneously rebounded above 4500, and BTC, as an asset resistant to currency depreciation, benefited accordingly.
But a key point often overlooked by the market:
Only the single repurchase scale was increased; the total quarterly repurchase quota remains unchanged. The operation mode is selling short-term bonds to buy long-term bonds, which is a debt structure swap, not money printing or quantitative easing (QE). Moreover, this policy will not be officially implemented until September 9.
🔹2. SEC crypto financing exemption framework
Released on August 18, this is a message that landed before the rally and can only be considered a secondary catalyst.
The rules provide financing exemption channels for small and medium projects, with annual financing caps of 5 million and 75 million, reminding the market of the early ICO era.
But currently, it is only a proposal for public comment, with a 60-day comment period. The actual implementation will be no earlier than next year, so it is still far from taking effect.
🔹3. White House crypto summit
SEC, CFTC, major exchanges, and traditional financial giants all attended, signaling accelerated integration between the crypto industry and traditional finance. Hyperliquid reported compliance progress, causing a short-term 22% surge in the market.
However, the summit mostly consisted of directional statements, lacking substantive policy implementation. The core demand remains urging Congress to pass the CLARITY Act. The biggest hurdle for the bill is the moral clause, compounded by the election cycle, with statements reflecting a realistic consideration to win crypto voters.
Polymarket data shows the probability of the bill passing this year is only 23%.
Summary
This rally is a short squeeze rebound driven by the resonance of improved macro expectations, regulatory optimism, and short squeeze pressure.
It does not represent the start of a full bull market cycle.
However, there is no doubt this is a strong shot in the arm for the market and tells everyone that opportunities in the crypto market still exist.
$BTC $ETHDamn brothers, cryptocurrency can actually be discussed alongside AI now.
The first meeting of the CFTC Innovation Advisory Committee discussed Crypto, AI, and prediction markets.
What was Crypto's position in the US regulatory system before?
Basically, it was regulated, investigated, and discussed on how to restrict it.
Now it's directly placed at the same table with AI and prediction markets.
This actually indicates one thing:
Crypto has started to shift from being a "financial regulatory target" to being studied as "new technology, new financial infrastructure."
Especially AI.
In recent years, the US government, capital markets, and tech giants have been pouring money crazily into AI.
Now that Crypto can enter the core agenda of the CFTC Innovation Advisory Committee alongside AI, I think this signal is more worth watching than the meeting itself.
This is also why I've always felt that the next truly worth-watching round may not be those coins that just tell stories.
But platform assets like BNB, OKB, and HYPE that already have real products, real users, and real trading volume.
If Crypto really starts entering the next stage of the US financial system, these are the ones that will benefit first.
This change might be more important than whether BTC rises or falls 1% tonight. Let's look at today's numbers: BTC once fell back to 71,834, marking the first time since early June that it has surpassed 70,000, with a two-day cumulative increase of over 11%. ETH rose more than 18% from Tuesday to 2,261, up over 18%, SOL up 11.5%, XRP up 10.6%, BNB up 4.3%, DOGE up 7.3%. On the US side, crypto stocks were even crazier: Canaan up 20%, Circle up 8%, Robinhood up 5%. All the headlines read: Trump calls on Congress at the White House to pass the Clarity Act Then the coin went up, but I want to say something that might not be very popular. Today's bullish candlestick—Trump is just the one ringing the doorbell. The real rent is paid by the Treasury. Let's start with what the Clarity Act is. In short, it will characterize tokens. Will it be regulated by the SEC or the CFTC? This has been uncertain for years. Every morning when the project team wakes up, the first thought is, 'Am I counting as a security today?' This bill is currently stuck in the Senate. There will only be a procedural vote in September. Yesterday, Trump called a whole group of industry executives and said they would pass a fair version Note: The term 'fair version' is crucial. It means that the current version hasn't reached an agreement yet. In other words, today's rise is expected to be expected, not the result. What really underlies is something else. On August 19, the US Treasury announced that the scale of long-term Treasury bond repurchases would increase from $2 billion each to at least $4 billion, covering 10 to 3 billionCoinbase is right, the United States is indeed winning the global crypto race — but the "finish line" (CLARITY Act) it is rushing toward may be just a few meters away.

🇺🇸 The U.S. is winning, but it's a "policy race"
Coinbase's claim that "the U.S. is winning the cryptocurrency race" is not empty talk. Over the past year, the U.S. has indeed taken the lead in crypto policy compared to major competitors like the EU and Singapore:
· Top-level White House push: Trump met with crypto executives from Coinbase, Ripple, and others at the White House, publicly pressuring Congress to pass a "fair version" of the CLARITY Act, calling it "crucial for the U.S. to maintain its lead in emerging technologies."
· Administrative and legislative coordination: The U.S. has established a global leading position through executive orders, legislation, and regulatory reforms. The SEC has proposed dedicated "Reg Crypto" rules for crypto assets for the first time. The CFTC chairman also clearly stated: "Building market structure is very important, and we can achieve it through rules or through laws."
But leading in policy does not mean the bill has been enacted. The real "match point" is in the Senate in September.
---
🏛️ Where is the finish line? — September 15 Senate procedural vote
Coinbase's call that "CLARITY will help cross the finish line" comes as the bill has reached the doorstep of a full Senate vote:
· Milestones completed: The House passed it in July 2025 with 294 to 134 votes; the Senate Banking Committee cleared it in May 2026 with 15 to 9 votes.
· Next key step: The Senate is scheduled for a procedural vote on September 15; if it proceeds smoothly, a vote on the motion to end debate will be held on September 18.
· Hard threshold: The bill needs 60 votes to advance, but Republicans hold only 53 seats, so at least 7 Democrats' support is required.
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong is very optimistic, predicting the CLARITY Act will receive strong bipartisan support and pass the vote on September 15, ushering in an "Uptober" and a new crypto bull market.

📉 But before the finish line, there are three "hurdles"
Optimistic slogans aside, the market pricing is honest — the probability of the bill passing has plummeted from 82% in February to the current 15%-20%, with Galaxy Digital even lowering it to 10%.
Three major obstacles are slowing the sprint:
① Ethical clause deadlock (biggest obstacle)
Democrats demand that federal officials holding over $1 million in crypto assets or more than 10% ownership must divest, with strict isolation mechanisms for large presidential holdings; the Republican version is much more lenient. No compromise has been reached so far.
② Stablecoin yield clause dispute
The banking sector strongly opposes allowing stablecoins to pay interest or rewards to holders, fearing it would cause deposits to flow from insured banks to crypto platforms.
③ The time window is almost closed
The Senate reconvenes on September 14, and in October lawmakers will leave Congress for midterm elections. If the motion to end debate is not initiated by late September, the 2026 legislative window will be completely closed.
---
🔄 If the bill really fails, the U.S. is still winning
Coinbase's confidence is somewhat justified. Even if the CLARITY Act ultimately fails, the U.S. is still moving faster than other major countries.
The CFTC chairman has clearly stated: even if Congress fails to pass legislation, the CFTC will use its authority under existing regulations to make rules. The SEC has also launched the "Reg Crypto" proposal and "Project Crypto" plan. The U.S. regulatory machine is already in motion — with or without this bill.
Therefore, Coinbase's statement that "the U.S. is winning the cryptocurrency race" is accurate. The question is: will the U.S. cross the finish line with a complete law, or continue running with regulatory rules without a law — this will determine whether the U.S. takes the gold medal or just a "participation award" after the finish line.
$COIN
$BTC After the U.S. stock market opened, the market showed clear divergence: the Dow edged higher, while the Nasdaq and S&P fluctuated weakly. Large tech stocks showed mixed performance, with funds flowing out of high-end tech stocks and rotating into pro-cyclical sectors. Internal divisions among crypto concept stocks have intensified. Coinbase and MSTR briefly surged at the open but then fluctuated back down, failing to break out of a one-sided strong rally, which indirectly reflects that traditional funds have become cautious at crypto asset highs. The first layer of direct linkage: emotional transmission. When U.S. stock risk appetite is stable, it provides moderate sentiment support for the crypto market, but does not bring additional incremental growth. Tonight, there was no extreme surge or crash in US stocks, making it difficult to drive BTC to break out of a new trend. The crypto market continues to follow its own on-exchange capital trading rhythm. Crypto stocks mostly move in sync with coin prices and rarely drive prices in reverse. The second layer of macro transmission focuses on US Treasury yields and the US dollar index. Currently, long-term bond yields remain relatively low, and expectations of liquidity easing from the Ministry of Finance's increased U.S. Treasury buybacks remain in place. This is the lowest macro support for this round of major market movement. If U.S. Treasury yields rebound and rise again during the evening trading session, it will suppress risk asset valuations, making the crypto market prone to a correction; If yields continue to decline, it will provide macro support for the coin price. Third-layer capital signals: The attitude of capital in the US stock market, which can serve as a reference for institutional sentiment. If MSTR and COIN continue to rise sharply on high volume, it indicates that Wall Street funds are willing to keep chasing crypto assets; Conversely, when crypto concept stocks stagnate at high levels and funds are cashing out, it indicates a rumorOn one side, trillion-dollar giants are collectively weakening, while on the other, a "dog" has surged nearly 10% in four days — this week's capital choice is clear at a glance.
Tech stocks are really suffering. On Monday, among the Mag7, only Nvidia barely turned positive; Meta dropped 3.5% in a single day, Microsoft fell 2.5%; on Tuesday, Meta plunged another 4.4% due to a federal lawsuit, with rumored potential fines as high as 1.4 trillion. Coupled with market doubts about the returns on sky-high AI capital expenditures, big money chose to withdraw ahead of Nvidia's earnings report next week.
Looking at $DOGE, it was still at $0.070 on Monday, then directly pulled up to $0.0776 on Wednesday, nearly a 10% increase within the week. It has no earnings report, no fundamentals; the only reason for the rise is that hot money exiting tech stocks needs a highly elastic place to go.
This comparison is like a mirror: tech stocks are calculating "input-output" returns and can't rise; DOGE feeds only on liquidity and sentiment, flying as soon as money loosens. But don't get carried away — DOGE is still over 30% below its May high of 0.115, with heavy trapped positions above 0.08. This move looks more like an oversold rebound.
So the answer is very clear: capital is not abandoning tech stocks but temporarily embracing elasticity during the earnings blackout period. Tech stocks will wait for Nvidia's earnings to land before deciding direction; DOGE is making money off sentiment and needs to run fast.#美财政部扩大长债回购，30年美债高位回落
我是刀哥美国财政部出手了。
8月19日，财政部宣布将10年至30年期长期国债流动性支持回购上限从每次20亿美元提高至至少40亿美元，9月9日至11月4日生效。消息公布后，30年期美债收益率从5.29%至5.32%的高位回落至约5.18%至5.20%区间。BTC随即从63000附近启动，一路突破69000，24小时涨超11%。财政部回购本身不是QE，也不直接投放基础货币，但它改变了整个市场的流动性预期。
此前长端收益率持续走高，对股票、黄金和BTC形成持续估值压制。当财政部宣布扩大回购，最大的一根宏观压力突然松了，市场直接重新定价所有风险资产。但需要注意，回购主要用于改善流动性和债务管理，并不等同于美联储降息。美国财政赤字接近2万亿美元，发债供给压力没有消失，通胀预期仍在4.3%附近。如果回购只能短暂缓和波动，市场仍要面对长期利率压力的回归。
财政部回购是这轮逼空的导火索，但不是长期趋势的起点。方向没变，节奏在变。刀哥说完了，你细品。$BTC $ETH $HYPE After a two-month pause, Strive finally made a move—31 BTC may not be much, but the "restart" itself is the real signal
---
📊 1. Event Overview: 31 BTC, valued at about $2.2 million
On August 20, Bitcoin treasury company Strive resumed increasing its Bitcoin holdings after a break of over two months, purchasing 31 BTC. At the then price of about $71,000, this transaction was worth approximately $2.2 million.
The scale of 31 BTC is negligible compared to Strive’s total holdings of over 20,000 BTC. But the act of "restarting after a two-month pause" is more important than the number 31 itself.
🏦 2. Who is Strive? — The "Bitcoin Treasury Rising Star" on Nasdaq
Strive is a Bitcoin treasury management company traded on Nasdaq under the ticker ASST. It was founded in 2022 by former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy. In September 2025, it officially transformed into a Bitcoin treasury company through a merger with Semler Scientific.
Holdings scale: As of mid-August, Strive held 20,246 BTC, valued at about $1.27 billion. This ranks it among the top ten publicly held Bitcoin companies globally, second only to Strategy and a few mining firms.
Core strategy: Funds Bitcoin purchases by issuing SATA perpetual preferred shares, with dividend yields between 12.75% and 13%. Strive measures success by how much Bitcoin corresponds to each common share, rather than traditional profit metrics.
⏸️ 3. Why the two-month pause?
Strive’s last intensive accumulation was in Q2 2026—purchasing a total of 6,236 BTC and achieving a 24% Bitcoin yield. After that, it entered a "silent period" lasting over two months.
Possible reasons include:
1. Waiting for a more favorable price range
Strive’s average purchase price in May-June was between $65,800 and $76,988. Bitcoin traded sideways between $62,000 and $65,000 in July and early August, so Strive held back, possibly waiting for clearer trend signals.
2. Adjustment in preferred stock financing rhythm
With SATA preferred shares yielding as high as 13%, each additional BTC purchase increases ongoing dividend payment pressure. Pausing accumulation may have been to optimize capital structure.
3. Change in CEO’s public statements
On August 19, Strive CEO Matt Cole publicly stated: "Bitcoin is historically low at the current price range, and Strive is willing to take risks to continue buying BTC here." The next day, they acted—this was no coincidence but a commitment fulfilled.
🔥 4. Three signal meanings of the restart in accumulation
1. The $70,000 range is recognized by institutions as a "reasonable entry zone"
Strive’s last intensive buying was in the $65,800–$76,988 range; this restart happened after Bitcoin broke above $71,000. This shows that $70,000 did not deter institutional buyers—in fact, they consider this price historically "low."
2. Collective action among Bitcoin treasury companies
In the same week, Strive’s CEO publicly defended Strategy’s selling of BTC—"Strategy only sells BTC to support STRC returning to par value, enabling long-term accretive BTC purchases." Strive’s restart, combined with Metaplanet’s acquisition of Super League with 2,100 BTC and Strive’s own mid-August purchase of 79 BTC, shows Bitcoin treasury companies are collectively increasing positions.
3. Shift from "waiting" to "acting"
Though 31 BTC is small in scale, it ended a silent period of over two months. In institutional behavior, a "restart" often matters more than scale—it means decision-makers believe the direction is clear.
💎 5. Summary
Strive’s 31 BTC accumulation is a small-scale operation with high signal value. After a two-month pause, the restart came right after the CEO’s public call of a "historical low"—this Nasdaq-listed company holding 20,246 BTC is showing its stance on $70,000 Bitcoin through action.
When Strive, Metaplanet, and Strategy—the "Bitcoin treasury companies"—begin collective action, the market signal becomes clear: institutions are not waiting but choosing the right time to enter. The scale of 31 BTC is small, but the "restart" itself is the real signal. Against the backdrop of Bitcoin approaching a golden cross and ETFs seeing consecutive days of net inflows, this signal comes at just the right time.
$BTC 当下BTC在72000附近来回拉锯，不管追多还是开空，盈亏比都很差，核心矛盾来自盘面、资金、筹码三层分歧。 先说做多难在哪里：这一轮拉升的核心驱动力是合约空头轧空，并不是现货增量资金、ETF机构资金持续进场。冲高之后ETF资金开始出现短线止盈，机构没有在高位接力扫货；日线指标已经进入超买区间，上方73800‑75800区间堆积大量历史套牢抛压，直接追多，一旦情绪拐头，短期回撤空间很大，很容易买在脉冲高点。哪怕中长期趋势向上，短线直接追高的安全边际很低。 再讲做空难在哪里：长线巨鲸持续把BTC从交易所提入自托管钱包，底部筹码没有松动，70000‑70200一带存在大量潜伏承接买盘。一旦美债流动性预期再度升温，随时再来一波快速拉升，高位空单很容易再次被连环爆仓。现在市场热度还在，场内投机资金活跃度高，逆势摸空要扛极强的向上不确定性。 衍生品层面更直观：前期集中爆仓的空单已经基本清算完毕，当前未平仓持续走高，高位新多头、新空头同步进场，双向爆仓的概率同时放大，随便往哪边开仓，都有可能被快速来回扫损。 现阶段最优思路不是急着押单边，重点盯两个确认信号：第一，BTC现货ETF重新#BTC突破72000美元，本轮上涨能否延续？ #✅Logic supporting continued rise 1. Macro liquidity warming: CPI and PPI have been falling consecutively, employment data cooling down, and September rate hike expectations have significantly eased. US Treasury yields are declining, improving the overall risk asset environment, with Bitcoin benefiting directly as a high-risk asset. 2. Spot funds entering the market: Large net inflows have appeared in the US Bitcoin spot ETF, not just leveraged short covering but real institutional buying, providing spot support for the market. 3. Technical resistance broken: The previous resistance at 72000 was broken with volume, and the 69000‑70000 range has turned from resistance into important support. If it holds, the target above is the 75000‑77000 historical resistance zone. ⚠️Risks hindering the continuation of the rally 1. Fed internal divisions persist: Officials remain divided, with some still stating the need for rate hikes. If US data rebounds later, the market will reprice rate hikes, US Treasury yields will rebound, and the coin price will quickly face pressure and fall back. 2. Part of this rally comes from short liquidations: A large number of shorts were forcibly closed in a short time, bringing passive buying. After the short squeeze, leveraged buying power will weaken, making a pullback after the surge likely. 3. Heavy selling pressure at high levels: The 72000‑77000 range has accumulated a large amount of historical trapped positions, leading to a flood of sell orders to break even at this level. 4. Unexpected variables: US regulatory news, geopolitical conflicts, and major US stock market corrections will all directly drive BTC volatility.$BTC
$ETH
$SOL
Speaking of US stocks and then about Bitcoin, the expected reversal at 3 AM to pick up people didn't happen. Bitcoin surged straight to the classic 72,000 level, which has blocked us for more than half a year into 2024.
The 72k level is not only the EMA200 daily line but was also once regarded as a strong support after the 120k peak correction, holding high hopes. But as everyone knows, Bitcoin lingered around 60k for a long time and even once fell below 60k.
From the crypto market logic alone, the repeated unsuccessful tests of 62k and the continuous macro easing indeed suggest it should rise. Moreover, once it starts to rally, the speed will be very fast, leaving most family members still playing in US stocks behind. After all, according to the altcoin pump-and-dump logic, the faster the pump, the more money saved—first, retail investors can't get on board in time; second, after chasing the rally, retail investors have high costs, which easily forms a chip peak at the high level, acting as resistance for the next rise or fall.
Yesterday, from the contract perspective, I observed that open interest didn't rise but fell. Today's information shows this rally is led by spot trading. Generally, when the market is driven by spot, it tends to be more sustained and harder to fall. Also, there are no signs of exhaustion now, and below 80k, there isn't any significant resistance. So, provided the macro environment doesn't worsen (there's still about a week of time difference anyway), this round still has enough time and momentum to test the weekly EMA100 resistance around 75-78k. #Today's big bullish candle is not about how much it rose, but about who is quietly turning around.
BTC has reclaimed 70,000, even touching above 71,000 intraday; ETH is even more aggressive, rising nearly 20% within 24 hours, with SOL and XRP also joining the rally. On the surface, it looks like a broad rally, but two details are worth pondering: first, the U.S. Treasury has expanded the scale of long-term Treasury repos, indicating a real change in liquidity expectations; second, Trump is pushing crypto regulatory bills again, reducing policy uncertainty. Coupled with a cascade of short liquidations, the speed has been further amplified.
But I won't shout "full bull market" just because of one bullish candle. After a sharp rise, there will inevitably be divergences. The real core question is whether BTC can solidify the 70,000 psychological level into genuine support. If the pullback doesn't break it, then rotation among assets like ETH, SOL, SUI, DOT, and OKB is worth looking forward to.
The most classic mistake in crypto is doubting everything when prices fall and forgetting risks when prices rise. My stance is clear: the market can go crazy, but your position sizing cannot; the trend is bullish, but discipline is the bottom line.
So, are you betting on BTC to keep charging, or do you think ETH will take over? See you in the comments. $BTC $ETH $SOL 这两天BTC从6.4万美元附近一路拉到7.2万美元，很多人第一反应是：牛市回来了。 但我更想知道一个问题： 到底是谁在买？ 我把这轮上涨拆开看了一遍，发现现在至少有4股资金同时在推动BTC。 第一类，最明显的是美国现货BTC ETF 8月19日，美国现货BTC ETF单日净流入约5.17亿美元，是3个多月以来最大单日流入。 其中BlackRock旗下IBIT一个产品就吸了约2.85亿美元，明显是这轮机构资金回流的主力。而且这不是一天行情。 8月17日至19日，IBIT累计流入约5.89亿美元，Fidelity的FBTC也有接近2亿美元流入。 这说明至少有一部分资金，确实开始重新回到BTC现货市场。(大购物金融) 第二类，是大型鲸鱼。 链上数据显示，大型持币者在过去60天累计增加了大约4.3万枚BTC。这就有点意思了。 如果只是散户FOMO，根本不需要鲸鱼提前吸筹。 现在大户重新增加仓位，说明部分聪明钱可能已经开始押注市场出现阶段性反转。 第三类，也是这次暴涨最凶猛的一股力量： 空头自己变成了买家。 8月19日BTC突然从6.5万美元附近向上突破，短短一个小时就有超过10亿美元的BTC空🚨 $BTC & $ETH ARE SURGING — BUT IS THIS A REAL BREAKOUT? $BTC has pushed toward $69.5K, while $ETH climbed to around $2,259. The momentum is strong, but it’s still too early to declare the start of a new bull cycle. Part of the move appears linked to Treasury buybacks, easing yields and more than $1B in short liquidations. But there’s an important distinction: this is not QE. The Fed remains cautious, while real yields are still elevated. For $BTC , I’d want to see: 📍 Sustained strength abov一、这一轮拉升的三层核心逻辑（附带数据支撑） 1. IP情怀+AI Agent叙事双重加持，故事想象空间打开 $BEAT（Audiera）依托经典劲舞团IP，累计注册用户超6亿，自带巨大群众基础，后期转型AI Agent参与式经济叙事，把AI虚拟偶像、AI音乐生成、链上游戏经济打包成全新赛道叙事。8月初项目路线图BEAT2.0三期内容公布，AI代理人经济落地进度加速，消息落地之后7日内币价自0.28拉升至最高0.49，涨幅超75%，热度快速冲上合约热搜前列，成为当时市场短线热点。 2. 通缩回购机制带来资金信仰，大额解锁利空被直接消化 项目每周使用平台营收回购销毁BEAT，持续收紧流通盘；8月1日迎来一次重大代币解锁，一次性释放2125万枚代币，价值约6780万美元，占流通量6.9%，体量接近当时日均成交额1.8倍，常规解锁事件往往会引发抛压，但当天币价反而逆势上涨16%，巨鲸资金进场全盘承接抛压，链上监测单日超2500万美元资金从二级市场吸筹，给市场极强的做多信心，成为本轮行情最重要的信心拐点。 3. 合约轧空+游资抱团，短期资金情绪推升行情 拉升启动前，合约市场积累大量低位空单The funding rate of perpetual contracts continues to hover near zero, which on the surface appears to be a balance between longs and shorts, but in reality is a "waiting mode" after leverage has been compressed to the extreme. A low funding rate indicates that neither side is willing to pay a premium for holding positions—this neutral state is rare in trending markets. However, this neutrality will not last forever. When one direction breaks through first, the funding rate will quickly turn positive or negative, triggering leveraged chasing orders and forming a self-reinforcing acceleration. A low funding rate is not a safety signal; it is the "starting gun" most easily overlooked before a market move begins. Historically, the funding rates before the breakouts in April 2019 and July 2020 were at similarly extreme lows, followed by price moves far exceeding most people's expectations. The current round of low funding rates has lasted even longer, indicating a greater suppressed demand for leverage. At the moment the direction becomes clear, chasing funds will flood in like a stampede, pushing prices to levels most people dare not imagine. Meanwhile, observing the futures open interest on major exchanges still slowly climbing shows that even with low funding rates, traders have not exited but are holding their positions—this "static crowding" once activated will release energy very intensely. 🚨 THIS RALLY LOOKS BROADER THAN A $BTC BREAKOUT The current move looks more like a broad repricing of liquidity risk than a Bitcoin-only rally. $ETH is leading with a +17.27% 24-hour move, while $BTC and $SOL are both up around 10%. That kind of rotation can signal expanding risk appetite rather than isolated demand for Bitcoin. But there’s an important caution: $BTC briefly broke above $72K before slipping back below the level. That makes chasing the first move less attractive. With the FOMCurrently, $SPCX has fallen below the $135 IPO price under the pressure of the second round of 319 million shares unlocking, dipping intraday to around $131. The core issue lies in the immediate liquidity drain caused by early chip sell-offs and the cautious stance of bulls due to continuous unlocking throughout the year.
From the chip perspective, the 319 million shares unlocked this round account for about 7% of restricted shares, which is completely different from the first round of 912 million shares unlocked on August 6, after which the stock price rose 23%. The intraday drop of over 6% and breaking below the $135 IPO price indicates a weakening market willingness to concentrate on absorbing shares, with sellers fleeing becoming the dominant force in the short-term market.
The driving factors are ranked as follows: first, unlocking selling pressure directly squeezes long positions; second, the shadow of multiple unlocks before year-end and the long-term supply with 88% of shares released before 2027; third, the key $130 defense level diverts short-term speculative funds.
The bullish scenario triggers if the stock price holds $130 and recovers $135. The variable to watch is whether intraday buying can quickly absorb this 7% unlocked chips. If it retakes $135 with reduced volume, the bearish scenario fails.
The bearish scenario triggers if the daily close breaks below $130 with increased volume. The variable to watch is the speed of sell-off and the early pricing of subsequent unlocking expectations. If the price breaks above $140, the bearish scenario fails.
The continuous increase in chip supply is suppressing market risk appetite, with fund positions shifting from chasing highs to cautious defense.
The most critical observation variable in the next 7 days is whether $SPCX can hold the $130 level and the turnover reconstruction efficiency around $135.

📊 1. Core Viewpoint: 4-6x Growth in 4 Years, From $70,000 to $400,000
On August 20, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong told Fox Business: "I believe that in the coming years, say by 2030, we are very likely to see Bitcoin reach $300,000 to $400,000."
Based on the current Bitcoin price of about $70,000, this implies a 4-6x increase over 4 years—an annualized compound growth rate of roughly 44%-55%. This is not Armstrong's first time making a sky-high prediction. In 2025, he posted on X that "I believe by 2030 we will see Bitcoin at $1 million each." Compared to that, the $300,000-$400,000 forecast is a "conservative version."
🔥 2. Why Is Armstrong Speaking Out Now?
1. Bitcoin is approaching the $70,000 mark
As of August 20, Bitcoin has rebounded from the early August low of $62,500 to nearly $69,000-$70,000. Strategy (MSTR) rose nearly 12% that day, Coinbase up 9%.
2. Regulatory clarity is emerging
Armstrong just came out of a White House crypto industry meeting and gave an extremely optimistic interpretation of the government's stance. He noted that about 67 million Americans hold crypto and said, "The industry is ready to push the CLARITY Act over the finish line." The Senate is set to hold a procedural vote on the CLARITY Act on September 15; if passed, it will provide a clear regulatory framework for the crypto industry.
3. He believes the bull market is at the doorstep
On the same day, Armstrong told CNBC, "I think we are very likely standing at the threshold of the next bull market."
📈 3. What Does $300,000-$400,000 Mean Among Institutional Forecasts?
Armstrong's $300,000-$400,000 prediction sits in the mid-to-conservative range of major institutional forecasts:
· Ark Invest: Bear case around $300,000 by 2030, base case $710,000, bull case $1.5 million
· Standard Chartered: Maintains $500,000 target for 2030
· Google Gemini: Forecast range $300,000 to $2.4 million, midpoint about $500,000 to $1.2 million
· VanEck and others: Base case around $500,000 to $760,000
Armstrong's forecast roughly aligns with Ark's bear case and Standard Chartered's long-term target, representing the lower bound of mainstream institutional predictions.
🧩 4. What Conditions Are Needed for $400,000?
Achieving the $300,000-$400,000 target requires multiple factors to align:
1. Regulatory certainty materializes
The September 15 procedural vote on the CLARITY Act is the first step. Research firm FM Intelligence predicts that if the act passes before the November midterm elections, Bitcoin could rise to $135,000-$200,000 within a year. The farther $400,000 level would require this act or other regulatory frameworks to open systemic channels for institutional capital.
2. Continued inflow of institutional funds
Bitcoin spot ETF net assets have grown from hundreds of billions at the start of the year to $84.3 billion, with a net asset ratio of 6.08%. The ongoing expansion of ETF channels is the core fuel for price appreciation.
3. Improvement in macro liquidity
The start of a Federal Reserve rate cut cycle, falling U.S. Treasury yields, and a weakening dollar—these macro conditions will collectively drive capital from traditional assets into risk assets.
4. Supply-demand shock from the halving cycle
Bitcoin's next halving in 2028 will reduce block rewards from 3.125 to 1.5625 BTC. Historically, the 12-18 months following the previous three halvings saw significant price surges.
⚠️ 5. Risks: Remember, He Also Called for $1 Million Last Year
Armstrong's predictions should be viewed cautiously. When he called for $1 million in 2025, Bitcoin was around $60,000-$70,000. Now that he has lowered the forecast to $300,000-$400,000, it shows even the most optimistic insiders are adjusting expectations based on market realities.
Meanwhile, Coinbase's premium index remains negative, indicating that demand in the U.S. spot market has not substantially recovered. Glassnode also points out that the current rebound is still in the "capitulation phase," with true seller exhaustion yet to appear—the realized profit-loss 90-day moving average is 0.75, and historically it needs to fall below 0.5 to confirm a bottom.
💎 6. Summary
Armstrong's $300,000-$400,000 forecast is more pragmatic compared to his $1 million 2025 version and aligns broadly with Ark's bear case and Standard Chartered's long-term targets.
A 4-6x increase in 4 years is not out of reach—historically, Bitcoin rose 19x in 2017, 6x in 2021, and 4x in 2024. But the premise is: the CLARITY Act passes, institutional capital keeps flowing in, and macro liquidity improves. If these conditions don't materialize, Bitcoin at $70,000 could just continue sideways. Predictions are predictions; the cycle is Bitcoin's only true friend.
$BTC $COIN #BTC突破72000美元，本轮上涨能否延续？ #美联储7月FOMC纪要9比3，官员加息分歧仍在 US stocks and gold both surged, but the root cause is not the stock market, it's the US Treasury!
Recently, the 30-year US Treasury yield skyrocketed, causing global funds to sell long-term bonds, and the market began to question the US's long-term debt repayment ability.
Seeing the long-end rates about to spiral out of control, the Treasury stepped in to stabilize the market: issuing short-term Treasury bills to buy back long-term Treasuries, forcibly pushing down long-term yields.
Once the news broke, US stocks rebounded, gold surged, and BTC and ETH rallied in sync.
But to see the essence: the US has not truly reduced fiscal spending; it is just juggling debt to postpone the current crisis.
The Fed still talks about balance sheet reduction and tightening, but the Treasury is signaling with actions that it will backstop the market if trouble arises.
Under this implicit expectation of easing, inflation is hard to fully suppress, which is the fundamental reason why risk assets and gold rise together.
A reminder to domestic friends: international gold prices surged to $4500, but domestic gold prices did not hit new highs simultaneously.
The appreciation of the RMB has eaten up most of the gains, so the returns we actually get are discounted.
Now, no matter how hawkish the Fed's rhetoric is, without actual rate hikes implemented, the market no longer buys it. Bitcoin and gold strengthen in sync, breaking through the $72,000 mark. After reaching a new intraday high of $72,801 on Thursday, Bitcoin retreated to around $71,450 to $72,000, rising more than 9% in the past 24 hours and accumulating a 12% gain this week. Gold also rose in tandem to around $4,540. The main factors driving the market include the U.S. Treasury's announcement to make long-term bond repurchases a routine operation, with potential for further expansion. This move has previously helped lower yields; although some term yields rose today, they still support risk assets. The continued weakening of the U.S. dollar index also supports Bitcoin's performance. The market is focused on the key $72,000 level. Analysis shows a concentration of leveraged short positions near this level. If the price effectively breaks through and holds above it, it could trigger short covering, further amplifying upward momentum. In the past hour, crypto shorts have been liquidated by about $243 million, with daily liquidation scale significantly expanding. Funding conditions are improving simultaneously: the U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF saw an inflow of $517 million in a single day, the largest since early May; the Ethereum ETF saw an inflow of $189 million. Bitcoin has risen about 15% so far this month, poised to record its first positive August since 2021, with a quarterly gain of 23%. On other fronts, some Bitcoin treasury-related preferred shares have rebounded to par value; strong manufacturing data contrasts with weak retail giant earnings, pressuring tech stocks. Overall, Bitcoin continues its upward trend driven by improved liquidity expectations and capital inflows. Going forward, attention should be paid to the breakthrough of key resistance levels and yield trends.
$BTC #美联储7月FOMC纪要9比3，官员加息分歧仍在 #BTC突破72000美元，本轮上涨能否延续？ US stocks and gold rise sharply in sync, the root cause of the market is all hidden in the US bond market🚨
#US Treasury expands long-term bond repurchase, 30-year US Treasury yield falls from high levels
Recently, the 30-year US Treasury yield has surged to a temporary high.
Essentially, global capital is selling off US long-term government bonds, and the market is doubting the US's long-term debt repayment ability. Bonds are being sold off, prices fall, and yields continue to soar, which poses a huge risk to the US debt system.
Seeing long-term rates on the verge of losing control, the US Treasury directly intervened.
Operational logic: issue short-term US bonds to raise funds, use this money to buy back long-term government bonds from the market, forcibly suppressing long-term US Treasury yields.
Once the news broke, the entire market became restless. US stocks began to rebound, international gold XAU surged significantly, and the crypto market exploded simultaneously, with BTC and $ETH experiencing violent rallies.
But many only see the rise and fail to understand the underlying real contradictions.
To truly solve the debt problem, the proper way should be to reduce government fiscal spending. But with the election cycle approaching and repeated debt crises, large-scale fiscal cuts are almost impossible politically.
The US has chosen not to solve the root cause but to use debt juggling to postpone current risks and shift pressure to the future.
On the other hand, the Federal Reserve verbally maintains its stance on balance sheet reduction, signaling monetary tightening externally.
But the Treasury's move sends a very strong signal to the market:
Once a debt or financial market crisis occurs, it will decisively step in to support; fiscal constraints have been significantly weakened.
This directly puts the Federal Reserve in an awkward position.
On one side, it needs to maintain policy strength to fight inflation; on the other, the fiscal side is forced to stabilize the bond market. The Fed's policy independence is being questioned.
The market has formed a new consensus: when the market can't hold on, there will be forces to bail it out.
The underlying logic of this bailout is equivalent to implicit easing, making it difficult to completely eliminate inflation pressure.
This is also the core underlying logic for the simultaneous strength of US stocks and gold.
⚠️ Here is a key point that domestic investors often overlook:
International dollar-denominated gold has surged to $4500, with a strong upward trend.
But measured in RMB, domestic gold prices have not simultaneously hit new highs.
A large part of the gains has been directly eroded by RMB appreciation.
The same gold surging in dollar terms means actual domestic returns will be discounted, which must be clearly understood.
The current situation is very clear:
No matter how hawkish the Fed sounds verbally, as long as there is no substantial rate hike implemented, the market no longer fully trusts its statements. Every time it rises, people shout that institutions are running away, but this time the script might not be so smooth.
According to CoinDesk data, Bitcoin spot ETFs saw a single-day net inflow of $517 million, and Ethereum ETFs simultaneously had a net inflow of $189 million, both marking the largest single-day inflows in several months.
The key point is that this round of capital inflow closely follows BTC's epic short squeeze rally. Institutional funds did not take obvious profits at the rebound highs; instead, they continued to increase their positions, which is a clear bullish signal. BTC and ETH are the direct beneficiaries, and the continued net inflows into ETFs remain a core indicator supporting mid-to-long-term price levels, indicating that institutional allocation demand is still heating up.
But don't equate large single-day inflows directly with a continuous upward trend. Such inflows often appear during the chase phase after sentiment recovery. The next 2-3 trading days are more critical: if positive inflows continue, the trend remains bullish; if inflows quickly slow down or even turn into outflows, be cautious of concentrated profit-taking that could trigger a short-term pullback.
The current position is not suitable for blindly chasing highs; the capital support during pullbacks to support levels is more worth watching.

#BTC #ETH #Crypto100W The Trump family holds 37.5% of the WLFI token shares through related entities, with the early circulation rate long maintained in the 20%-30% range. The vast majority of tokens are concentrated in the hands of the core founding team and early institutions.
2. Potential Impact Logic of Trust-Related Factors on WLFI Token Price
1. Indirect Transmission of Offshore Trust Tax New Regulations
The offshore trust pass-through taxation policy, effective August 2026, significantly increases the tax cost of cross-border asset transfers. Some offshore trust entities holding WLFI may adjust their holdings for compliance needs, causing minor short-term selling pressure. However, due to the high concentration of WLFI tokens, such selling pressure has very limited actual impact on the token price.
2. Chip Locking Effect of Family Trusts
The Trump family places large amounts of WLFI tokens into family trusts for long-term holding, which can greatly reduce selling pressure from circulating market supply, decrease the risk of large short-term dumps, provide implicit support for the token price, and prevent extreme irrational price crashes.
3. Market Sentiment Disturbance from Trust-Related Information
If rumors spread that large amounts of WLFI tokens are being transferred or reduced through trusts, it will directly trigger panic selling by retail investors, causing a rapid short-term price drop; conversely, if positive news emerges about long-term holdings locked through trusts, it will help push the token price into a phase of impulsive gains.
3. Core Observation Points for Future Trends
• The key focus is on the unlocking schedule of WLFI tokens held by the Trump family through trusts, which is a critical variable affecting the medium- to long-term token price trend. $BTC Bitcoin just broke above the Short-Term Holder Realized Price.
Short-term holders are now aggressively taking profits.
If Bitcoin closes two consecutive weekly candles above this level, it would confirm the start of a new bull market.
If not, we may simply be watching the 2018 pattern repeat itself.The SEC's issue with tokenized stocks is essentially not that "the rules aren't ready," but that "the power transfer isn't complete."
The real subtext of Tenev's open letter is: Robinhood is already running 190 tokenized stocks in 120 countries, with technology, liquidity, and users all fully operational. U.S. residents can't use it, not because it's impossible, but because the SEC doesn't allow it.
Why not allow it?
It's not a technical issue; it's a jurisdictional issue. Are tokenized stocks securities, commodities, or something new? The CLARITY Act aims to solve this problem—who regulates and how. But the bill has been stuck in the Senate for over half a year, and the SEC is waiting for Congress to set the rules so it can find enforcement grounds within the existing legal framework.
Tenev chose this moment to speak out because the SEC postponed the "innovation exemption" plan for the second time five days ago. What he's waiting for is not "SEC approval," but a "redefinition of the SEC's jurisdiction."
How long will this process take? No one knows. But one thing is certain—tokenized stocks are already running overseas, Robinhood's overseas users are trading, Ondo is making markets on-chain, and RWA transfer volumes have doubled. Capital won't stop waiting for anyone.
When the CLARITY Act is finally enacted, the SEC will have a clear basis to open a compliant channel for tokenized stocks. But the bill hasn't passed yet, and the market is already moving. The direction is certain; only the speed depends on Congress.
$BTC $ETH #BTC breaks through $72,000, can this rally continue? $BTC Core reasons for the rapid rebound in the cryptocurrency market yesterday (combined with US policy news from August 19-20)
1. The White House sends industry-friendly signals, legislative expectations significantly heat up
1) Trump met with executives from leading crypto companies like Coinbase at the White House, publicly urging Congress to quickly pass the CLARITY Act (Digital Asset Market Clarity Act). The core of this bill is to clearly classify crypto assets as securities/commodities, delineate SEC and CFTC regulatory authority, and end long-term regulatory ambiguity; the market believes that once implemented, the industry compliance path will be cleared, attracting more institutional capital.
2) Publicly stated studying the feasibility of the US government officially holding Bitcoin, while promoting the offshore decentralized contract platform Hyperliquid to seek compliant operations within the US, giving the market strong policy optimism.
Note: The bill is only being pushed forward and has not yet been voted on by Congress; it is expectation-driven, not yet law.
2. SEC introduces new regulations to lower compliance thresholds for token issuance
The US SEC proposed new rules: qualifying startup projects issuing tokens can be exempt from securities registration processes, reducing compliance costs for startups, alleviating market concerns from past SEC strict regulation, and improving industry sentiment.
3. US Treasury expands long-term bond repurchase, marginal improvement in macro liquidity environment (important macro policy)
The Treasury announced it will at least double the scale of 10-30 year US Treasury bond repurchases, to be implemented in September.
- Direct effect: long-term Treasury yields fall, the dollar weakens;
- Logic: the attractiveness of high-yield Treasuries declines, funds will partially flow into high-risk assets like Bitcoin, ETF inflows significantly increase, and trading volumes of Bitcoin ETFs like IBIT rise notably.
This is not Fed money printing QE, but a bond market liquidity support operation; the market interprets it as a signal of marginal liquidity easing.
4. Technical short squeeze (market amplifier)
A large number of short bearish positions accumulated during the previous consolidation phase; after positive policy news, prices quickly rise, triggering forced liquidation of many shorts. Liquidation equals passive buying, further pushing up the coin price, creating a "buy as it rises" short squeeze scenario, with massive short liquidations in 24 hours, amplifying the rebound.
5. Institutional funds flow back with the trend
Dual catalysts of regulatory friendliness and declining yields accelerate net inflows of institutional ETF funds; US crypto-related stocks (like Coinbase) also surge, creating positive feedback that drives the entire crypto market rebound. Short version:
🇺🇸 Trump’s “Choke Point 2.0” statement is bigger as a policy signal than a headline.
The U.S. appears to be shifting from restricting crypto exposure toward integrating BTC, stablecoins, tokenization and on-chain finance into the financial system.
For BTC, the bigger opportunity may be moving from simply being a Wall Street asset to becoming part of the next-generation dollar infrastructure.

Current BTC market situation, I still have remaining positions personally, and I plan to prepare for two scenarios:
(1) STH-RP right-side confirmation: If BTC can hold above the short-term holders' real cost price STH-RP, then follow the trend on the right side.
(2) After recently backtesting various data models, the reason I still have 40% of my position unfilled is: I can't let go of the traditional four-year halving cycle in my heart. In past halving cycles, the MVRV trend clearly overlapped. Currently, August 23 to the end of August is an important observation window. If BTC does not show a significant pullback during this period, it indicates that this cycle is deviating from the traditional four-year cycle structure.
(3) Another important reason is that in the traditional four-year cycle, the time from top to bottom is basically one year. By this calculation, early October would be the BTC bottom. However, now that institutions have entered, the cycle rhythm may really be deviating from the traditional four-year cycle structure. By the end of this year, it will be clear whether this cycle has changed.

I am Brother Ci, the U.S. Treasury has taken action.
On August 19, the Treasury announced it would raise the liquidity support repo cap for long-term government bonds with maturities from 10 to 30 years from $2 billion per operation to at least $4 billion, effective from September 9 to November 4. After the announcement, the 30-year U.S. Treasury yield fell from the high range of 5.29%–5.32% to about 5.18%–5.20%. BTC immediately started rising from around 63,000, breaking through 69,000, gaining over 11% in 24 hours. The Treasury's repo itself is not QE and does not directly inject base money, but it changes the entire market's liquidity expectations.
Previously, the sustained rise in long-end yields continuously suppressed valuations for stocks, gold, and BTC. When the Treasury announced the expanded repo, the biggest macro pressure suddenly eased, and the market directly repriced all risk assets. But it should be noted that the repo is mainly used to improve liquidity and debt management and is not equivalent to a Federal Reserve rate cut. The U.S. fiscal deficit is close to $2 trillion, and the pressure from bond supply has not disappeared; inflation expectations remain near 4.3%. If the repo can only temporarily ease volatility, the market still has to face the return of long-term interest rate pressure.
The Treasury repo is the trigger for this short squeeze but not the start of a long-term trend. The direction remains unchanged; the pace is changing. Brother Ci has finished speaking, savor it. $BTC $ETH $HYPE *Bitcoin $BTC Latest Update August 21, 2026, Afternoon*

BTC has already broken through 70K, but the biggest danger now is not the bears, but the bulls starting to believe "breakout = takeoff."
BTC is currently around $72K, with a 24-hour increase of about 6%, and a 7-day increase of about 12.5%; yesterday it once approached $72.6K.

🧨 01｜This rise is backed by real factors
Yesterday's BTC breakout above 70K was not just a simple technical squeeze.
After the U.S. Treasury expanded the scale of long-term bond repurchases, the dollar weakened and long-term yields briefly fell, clearly benefiting risk assets; meanwhile, the U.S. spot BTC ETF saw a single-day net inflow of about $517M, hitting a multi-month high.
Reuters +1
So this rise has three fuels:
Fiscal liquidity expectations ↑
Dollar ↓
ETF funds ↑
This is healthier than a pure short-term short squeeze.
🐂 02｜However, 72K is not the end, it’s a test
The most important thing for BTC now:
Turn 70K from a "breakout level" into a "support level."
🟢 Hold above 70K → Bulls ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
🚀 Break through 72.5K with volume → Trend continues to strengthen ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
🟡 Pullback to 68K–70K without breaking → Healthy rotation ⭐⭐⭐⭐
🔴 Fall back below 68K → Beware of false breakout ⭐⭐⭐⭐
☠️ Break below 66K → Short squeeze may start to realize ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
🐳 03｜What really needs caution: yields rising again
Although Treasury repurchases brought liquidity expectations to the market, it is not QE.
Moreover, U.S. bond yields have risen again, and the market still worries about the U.S. fiscal deficit and long-term inflation.
Reuters +1
So the biggest macro risk for BTC now is not:
"Suddenly no positive news."
But rather: $SOL $ETH briefly paused after breaking through $2300 in a short time, with the residual effects of large spot buy orders and a chain of short liquidations converging on the market.
The price surged straight from the $1900 range to $2336, instantly piercing through the densely accumulated short liquidity below $2100, then retreated to around $2290 for consolidation.
Amid the derivatives stampede, a BlackRock client made a single spot purchase of $122 million, marking the highest single-day increase in nearly seven months.
The large-scale spot absorption broke the previous chip balance, directly triggering passive liquidation of short positions, forming a capital and liquidation resonance-driven upward impulse.
If the new buying can maintain absorption strength in the $2200 to $2250 range, digesting previous floating profits, the bullish structure still has momentum to continue pushing higher.
Once the price breaks below the $2150 support without subsequent spot inflows, short-term momentum will quickly weaken and enter a deep technical correction.
This rally was driven jointly by spot and squeeze; if the subsequent order depth cannot keep up, the current strengthening logic will be disproved.
Next, just observe whether the net spot inflow above $2200 can maintain continuity.
#ETH强势拉升，空头清算超11亿美元 #BTC突破72000美元，本轮上涨能否延续？On August 20th, Bitcoin broke out of a six-week consolidation range, briefly surpassing $71,000. Following this, the market began discussing a familiar technical term: the golden cross. However, the most interesting aspect of this rally is not the two lines on the moving average chart finally converging, but the manner in which the breakout occurred. After the range was breached, approximately $3 billion worth of crypto short positions were forcibly liquidated. Many interpret this scene as confirmation of a new bull market, but I think it's best not to rush. Short-covering can push prices up quickly, but it itself does not sustain the price at that level. There are three key signals to watch. First, whether the spot market can hold the gains. The six-week consolidation left behind a group of traders repeatedly buying low and selling high. After the breakout, the most important thing is not how high the price surges intraday, but whether it can close stably above the critical range and have genuine buying support on pullbacks. Without support, the breakout can easily turn into an expensive firework. Second, whether leverage is piling back on. After shorts are cleared, funding rates, open interest, and short-term sentiment often heat up quickly. If the price rise is mainly driven by new leverage, the next volatility could reverse and liquidate longs. Healthy rallies do not require every candlestick to be sustained by higher financing costs. Third, whether macro conditions provide a tailwind. On that day, the market was simultaneously watching the weakening dollar, liquidity expectations, and long-term US Treasury yields. Bitcoin’s breakout does not exist in an isolated exchange; when the risk asset pricing environment changes, technical patterns are reinterpreted. The golden cross is a lagging confirmation tool, not a starting gun.Market Quick Read
Bitcoin current price is $72,516.20, up 6.77% in 24 hours. The amplitude closed at 6.97 percentage points, indicating considerable volatility.
The 24-hour high was $72,566.00, the low was $67,830.30, with a trading volume of $1.15B, showing active turnover between bulls and bears.
Across the market, 128 assets rose, 24 fell, with a rise ratio of 84.2 percentage points, clearly reflecting market sentiment.
In the DeFi sector, focus on $UNI, trading volume is relatively small; first watch if smart money makes a move.
In the L2/sidechain sector, focus on $ARB, volatility has narrowed; wait for directional choice before acting.
Top 3 gainers are $ACE +43.15%, $BOME +41.80%, $NEIRO +24.64%, smart money has already placed their bets.
Top 3 losers are $GRVT -11.19%, $AEON -10.61%, $DOS -9.13%, profit-taking traders have abruptly exited.
Conclusion: The number of rising and falling assets sets the tone, the leaders in gains and losses set the direction; don’t go against smart money.

That’s all for now, the rest is up to the market. Today I saw many friends thinking that Bitcoin's rally is related to BlackRock's article, or to US interest rates, and some even said it was notified by Trump's private API. None of these are certain, but the timing of BlackRock's article doesn't seem to match; it was published two days ago when Bitcoin's price was still around $64,000.
Moreover, if you look closely, you can see that BlackRock's promotion direction has never changed; they have always encouraged investors to allocate 1% or 2% of their investment assets to $BTC. This encouragement has actually been going on for a long time. If I remember correctly, last month there was even a dedicated video where BlackRock's investment director specifically talked about investing in Bitcoin.
Of course, regardless of the reason, Bitcoin's rise is good for the entire industry, but whether this is a "bull return" is still uncertain. From the trend, it is clear that it is still in a consolidation phase. Personally, I think if there is to be a real stage of bull return, it is very likely to happen after the midterm elections.
Of course, this is just my personal opinion, and my view may not be correct. Short $BTC, short $ETH, then short yourself!
1. Ridiculously extreme data fabrication: boasting a nearly 30-day win rate of 91.41%, with the curve soaring 231.56% early on, only to plummet vertically in a straight line, wiping the entire month down to -5.5%. The ultra-high win rate relies purely on taking small profits to exit and holding through big losses without cutting losses; a single one-sided market move completely erases all gains. The so-called guaranteed profit strategy is as fragile as paper.
2. Pathetically meager assets, with a total net worth of only $35.75, equivalent to just over two hundred RMB. If there were truly hardcore trading methods capable of doubling, any attempt to slightly increase or roll over positions would have grown the account beyond three figures in USD. In short, even the trader doesn’t believe this strategy can withstand large capital and only dares to use pocket money to fake data and deceive.
3. The perfect curve is completely exposed; the early smooth, drawdown-free chart is a model created by filtering and deleting losing orders. Real market conditions could never produce such a trend. The final cliff-like plunge reveals the true nature of the trading, and all previous impressive returns were illusions.
4. The scheme of scamming retail investors with fake performance cannot be hidden. A paper expert with just a few hundred dollars in capital runs accounts, builds fan groups, and shows off results, but the main business is not trading for profit. They rely on a 90% win rate and doubled returns to fool novices into copy trading. When others enter with heavy positions and suffer big losses from volatility, this person just switches to a new beautified curve to continue harvesting the next batch.$BTC 🩸 "BTC Meat Grinder Lab"｜Today's Macro
The macro narrative for BTC has changed today.
Yesterday, the market was still discussing "Will the Fed be more hawkish?" Today, the real main theme has become:
The U.S. Treasury is actively cooling down the long-term U.S. bond market, while the dollar weakens and BTC surges past $70,000.
The U.S. Treasury announced it will increase the scale of long-term bond repurchases to at least $4 billion each time, up from the previous cap of about $2 billion; after the announcement, the dollar weakened and risk assets reacted significantly, with BTC briefly breaking through $70K.�
Reuters +1
🏦 01｜The real positive factor is not "rate cuts"
The most noteworthy aspect of this BTC rally is not:
The Fed cutting rates soon.
But rather:
The Treasury starting to actively stabilize the long-term bond market.
Previously, the 30-year U.S. Treasury yield once surged to about 5.33%, putting clear pressure on risk assets from long-term rates.�
Binance +1
Now that the Treasury is expanding repurchases, it signals:
The U.S. does not want long-term financing costs to continue spiraling out of control.
The significance for BTC is:
Long-term yield pressure ↓
Dollar pressure ↓
Risk appetite ↑
BTC valuation space ↑$ETH From 1,906 to 2,330, I almost couldn't hold this $ETH position...
$ETH surged from 1,906 to 2,330 yesterday, a 24-hour increase of 18%. I had a long position with a cost of 1912, and last night at 1928 I almost added to it, but I held back.
Today it pulled back to $2,250, and I reduced half of my position.
It's not that I am bearish, but after a jump of over four hundred dollars in one go, profit-taking is inevitable. ETF net inflows have continued for two days, and the staking rate hit a new high, all solid evidence of a good foundation. However, open interest and funding rates in futures are rising simultaneously, showing clear leverage involvement, and the market is a bit overheated. Chasing at this time is like taking over the positions of those who have already profited.
I plan to add back my position around 2,100 on the pullback. I won't specify exact levels, just the idea:
After a big rise, don't rush to chase higher; first lock in some profits and let the market move on its own. Keep control in your own hands.
The biggest lesson this time is entering the market too hastily. Kuzi thinks entering at 1,912 was fine, but wanting to add when seeing the rise is an old bad habit. I gave myself a slap but fortunately held back. In trading, restraint is more important than courage. Being able to resist adding to a position is as hard as being able to cut losses decisively.
#ETH强势拉升，空头清算超11亿美元 BTC & ETH Surge: Bull Run or Short Squeeze?
$BTC touched $69.5K while $ETH surged to $2,259, but it’s too early to call a new bull cycle. The move appears driven partly by Treasury buybacks, easing yields and over $1B in short liquidations. Yet this is not QE. The Fed remains cautious, while real yields stay elevated. $BTC needs sustained strength above $69K and genuine spot demand—not just leverage. The rally is powerful, but the next move still needs proof. 🔥 BTC SURPASSES 72K: STRONG TREND BUT AVOID FOMO
BTC just had a very strong surge and reached the 72.5K zone. The short-term structure favors buyers, but the price has moved quite far, so volatility or a retest is completely normal.
If it holds 70.5–71K, BTC still has a chance to target 73K, then 75–76K. Conversely, losing 70K could cause the price to revisit the 68–69K range.
Those who already hold positions should prioritize managing their trades. Those without positions don’t need to chase a steeply rising candle.
$BTC The money in the early session wasn't in a full-scale attack; it was picking lines to strike.
QQQ fell 0.6%, IWM dropped 1.1%, small caps are weak; but SMH and SOXX are slightly up, indicating some localized support in semiconductors. Oil rose 2.6%, gold is also up, the market still carries defensive and geopolitical flavors, not a comfortable broad rally.
Currently, the clearest three areas holding money are crypto, optical communications, and AI custom chips. $COIN and $MSTR both rose about 8%, showing the strongest elasticity line, but this is already the first wave at a high level; going forward, only watch for pullbacks that don't break the opening price, no chasing straight up. $LITE rose over 4%, cleaner than COHR and CRDO, indicating some localized funds in optical communications, but it hasn't spread to the entire sector yet. $MU is also strong; the memory line is still intact.
Pre-market priority candidate $MRVL has currently realized about half the gains. Google's chip collaboration is a real catalyst; intraday it pulled back from 229 to 242, with 246.6 as today's key resistance. Only a volume breakout above 246 counts as a secondary confirmation; falling back below 238 means funds are just treating it as a news-driven rebound.
$SMCI, $DELL, and $VRT in the AI server line are not performing well today; don't force them to be considered as spreading.
In the next 2-4 hours, watch if MRVL can surpass 246, if COIN/MSTR can hold high sideways, and if oil and gold continue to suppress the index. #成品油价差破百，能源通胀会否回升 兄弟们看数据。 闪迪从年初235美元一路干到2354美元，涨了628%，标普500成分股里涨幅排第一。然后迅速反转，一度跌到1119美元，回撤超过50%。8月13日投资者日之后，两周反弹超过40%。昨天冲高回落收1785，今天又在1700附近晃。 暴涨-腰斩-反弹，三波走完，多空彻底撕裂。 分析师：目标价从1300到3250，差了一倍半。 16位分析师里13个喊“买入”，但目标价从1300美元到3000美元不等。最看好的给3250美元，最悲观的只给1000美元。平均目标价约2220美元，但离散度大得离谱。同一个公司，有人觉得再跌40%才合理，有人觉得再涨80%才刚刚开始。 对冲基金：有人加仓，有人清仓。 Rob Citrone的Discovery Capital二季度加了12%的仓位，Rokos Capital加了28%。David Tepper的Appaloosa直接清空28万股。文艺复兴科技砍了超过99%的仓位，从80万股砍到只剩4980股。 核心分歧：周期见顶，还是基因变了？ 看空的人说——这就是一波商品周期。 存储芯片是强周期行业，历史上暴涨之后必有暴跌。闪迪Q4营收环比51%RWA shifts gears silently
Ondo's single QQQon transaction of $2.32 million, Robinhood Chain's 500 million deposits, Ethereum carrying 70% of RWA—these data points haven't trended because they lack "narrative." But they represent a deeper reality: traditional finance is anchoring Ethereum through "compliant stablecoins + tokenized assets." This is not speculative hot money but structural accumulation. Once the CLARITY Act clarifies the compliance path for RWA, these accumulations will switch from "gray experiments" directly to "standardized business." By then, ETH's price will realize it has long been infrastructure, only its pricing hasn't caught up yet—this lag is precisely the biggest expectation gap. Onboarding traditional assets won't wait for a crypto bull market; they advance at their own pace, and Ethereum happens to be the most mature settlement layer on this track. RWA growth is not narrative-driven but yield- and efficiency-driven, making this momentum more durable and less dependent on market sentiment. BlackRock's BUIDL fund and Franklin's on-chain money market fund are continuously expanding on Ethereum; these funds won't withdraw due to candlestick fluctuations—they value settlement efficiency and compliance transparency, which are Ethereum's most irreplaceable moats.$BTC
This wave surged, breaking through the short-term traders' cost line (currently at 72k) all at once.
This is the third time in this bear cycle that the short-term traders' cost line has been touched; the previous two times it was pushed down.
Those were at 98k and 82k respectively...
Yesterday it broke through 67k, marking the third time, and currently there is a 4000-point margin between 71k and 67k..
It looks like the possibility of holding steady is pretty good..
So for now, short-term bullish outlook can continue.
However, it is still some distance from the bull-bear dividing line of the long-term cycle (such as the 4-year cycle) TMM, which is currently at 76k..
If it can break through the 76k TMM like it did the 67k level later on, that might truly be the time to call a bull market return. Storage is making crazy profits and starting to split the money. How profitable is this round of storage? SK Hynix directly presented a figure: 40 trillion Korean won, about 28.6 billion US dollars. The company has officially announced it will repurchase approximately 24.07 million shares over the next three months and cancel all of them. This is the largest stock buyback and cancellation program in the history of a Korean listed company. Even more aggressively, SK Hynix has further raised its shareholder return policy: from 2025 to 2027, more than 50% of its cumulative free cash flow will be used for buybacks, cancellations, and dividends. Where does the money come from? Storage. The HBM and memory boom cycles have allowed SK Hynix to accumulate cash quickly, and by Q2, the company's net cash had reached about 69 trillion KRW. Today, Samsung also reported that it is preparing a new shareholder compensation plan exceeding 100 trillion won, possibly including special dividends, but it has not yet been officially announced. The most extreme part of this round of storage is not just chip price hikes. Instead—the money earned began to be distributed to shareholders on a large scale. $SKHYNIX $SNDK $MU
