CPI Pre-DOGE Rises Nearly 3% to $0.072 — But This May Just Be a "Feint" Before the Storm
---
📊 1. Real-Time Price Overview: $0.072, Strongest Performance in Nearly a Week
As of August 12, Dogecoin (DOGE) was priced at $0.072130 on Binance, up 2.78% in 24 hours, with a daily range of $0.069900 to $0.073150. Investing.com index reported $0.072068, up 3.00%. 24-hour trading volume was approximately $565-576 million, with a market cap around $12.35 billion.
52-week range: $0.06785 to $0.30628. Year-to-date: down 38.51%. One-year decline: as high as 69.37%.
⚠️ Data Discrepancy Reminder: CoinGlass shows DOGE at about $0.06913 (-5.38%), differing from Investing.com likely due to data sources or calculation methods. It is recommended to rely on mainstream CEX real-time prices.
🔥 2. Drivers Behind Today’s Rise
1. Meme Sector Leading the Market
In the past 24 hours, the Meme sector rose overall by 0.76%, with DOGE leading at a 3.04% increase. Among major altcoins, DOGE’s 2.49% gain outperformed Solana (+0.54%) and XRP (+0.76%).
2. Whales Continue Accumulating, Derivatives Turn Bullish
Since August 8, whale wallets holding 10 million to 100 million DOGE have cumulatively bought about 180 million DOGE, net accumulation around $12.6 million. DOGE’s long-short ratio rose to 1.27, the highest in over a month; funding rates turned positive on July 24 and climbed to 0.0096%.
3. Short-Term Speculative Funds Enter Ahead of CPI
Before the CPI release, some short-term funds bet on a mild inflation decline, positioning early in high-risk, high-beta assets like DOGE. However, pre-data rallies are often unsustainable; if CPI exceeds expectations, these short-term positions may exit quickly.
📉 3. ETF Capital Flow: Still "Bleeding"
DOGE spot ETFs saw net inflows return to zero in the past 24 hours, with multiple products recording no new capital. The last positive net inflow was on August 4 (only $82,640). To date, DOGE spot ETFs have a cumulative net inflow of just $12.2 million, with total net assets of $10.05 million. ETF capital remains "flatlining," indicating institutional interest in DOGE has yet to recover.
📈 4. Technical Analysis and Key Levels
Current pattern: DOGE is trading in a narrow range between $0.0699 and $0.07315. Price remains below the 50-day SMA ($0.08) and 200-day SMA ($0.09), both now acting as overhead resistance. Investing.com’s comprehensive technical rating is "Strong Sell," with technical indicators "Strong Sell" and moving averages "Buy." Volatility is compressed to the extreme, with Bollinger Bands’ upper, middle, and lower bands nearly overlapping — a sign of an impending major move, though direction is uncertain.
Key resistance: $0.07315 (today’s high) → $0.074 (50-day EMA, breakout opens space) → $0.076 (descending trendline) → $0.081 (100-day EMA) → $0.09 (200-day SMA, mid-term watershed)
Key support: $0.0698-$0.0700 (current core defense zone) → $0.067 (three-year low, trend lifeline) → $0.065 (downside target if broken)
Trend judgment: DOGE has been consolidating near $0.07 for several days, with daily volatility narrowing to just $0.0016 — the market is waiting for a directional signal, and tonight’s CPI is that signal.
💎 5. Summary
DOGE rose nearly 3% today to $0.072, showing slight strength on the eve of CPI. However, continuous zero ETF inflows, a "Strong Sell" technical rating, and prices below all major moving averages contrast sharply with bullish signals from whale accumulation and a long-short ratio rising to 1.27.
$0.07315 is the short-term bull-bear dividing line — if CPI is below expectations, DOGE could break out with volume above this level, opening space toward $0.075-$0.076; if CPI exceeds expectations, breaking below $0.0698 support could lead to a retest of the three-year low at $0.067 or even $0.065.
Before the CPI data release, all rallies may be just a "feint." The true answer lies in the direction chosen after the data is published.
$DOGE Lately, everyone has been complaining that BTC has no volatility and is too hard to trade.
Trust me, this is actually a very good bottom signal. In the past two cycle bottoms, the volatility was even smaller than now, and the market was drier. Now is the time to slowly position long-term spot orders, so don’t focus on this small volatility to trade frequently. If you keep trading the volatility now, you will almost certainly sell out at the first spike when the cycle reverses and starts, wasting the precious once-in-four-years bottom accumulation opportunity.
The big picture hasn’t changed: when STRC depegs and MSTR is forced to sell coins, that is most likely the event bottom of this cycle. Currently, as far as I can see, there are no loose screws in the crypto space; new business data like perp DEX, RWA, prediction markets are also running well. If the US stock market doesn’t crash badly in Q4, the crypto market should be able to take off. If rate hikes cause the US stock market to crash, then BTC will dip a little further.
About 60% of the dollar-cost averaging orders have been placed; the remaining bullets are reserved for some short-term trades and as backup to buy crypto at even lower prices.Left eye BTC three consecutive bearish candles, right eye storage three consecutive bullish candles. Same screen, two worlds.
Wednesday at 11 AM, opening the market software, the screen split made one feel dazed.
On the left is BTC, which was at 65500 three days ago, now only 63798. Three bearish candles like three heavy blows, just climbed out of the 63163 pit this morning to catch a breath. ETH is a bit more decent, 1885, barely turning green. The entire crypto market looks drained of blood, lifeless.
On the right is the storage sector, bustling with activity. $SNDK hit a high of 1320 today, $SKHYNIX peaked at 1093, surging 6%. $MU touched 889. This is not a rebound, this is a breakout. SNDK was at 1191 four days ago, now 1320, up 11%. SKHYNIX was at 976 four days ago, now 1093, up 12%.
Same market, capital is voting with its feet — money hasn’t fled, it’s just changed tables.
Opening the 4-hour chart, the structural contrast is even more naked.
BTC in the past three days formed four waves of progressively lower highs: 65500→65338→64474→64474. Bears press down every rally from bulls, rhythm steady like a pendulum, cold and ruthless.
SNDK in the same period formed four waves of progressively higher lows: 1226→1232→1261→1270. Each pullback is shallower than the last, each surge stronger than the last. That 4-hour candle at 8 AM today went straight from 1278 to 1320, no hesitation.
After SNDK broke above 1320, the next target is 1350, the high on SanDisk’s earnings day. SKHYNIX’s 1093 today is a new high, next stop 1137 aiming at the August 2 high. $MU’s high today is 889, once stabilized, look for 895.
Tonight’s CPI is the biggest variable for the whole market and the first pressure test for this storage rally.
If CPI is weak, storage will resonate with US stocks and continue to soar.
If CPI is strong, this breakout might be pulled back for a breather.
But one fact no longer needs CPI to verify — in the past three days, storage’s capital has already told BTC with real action: we’re not following you anymore.
The storage trio’s three-day consecutive rise is no coincidence, it’s capital repricing.

Don’t just stare at BTC crying, see how high the storage fire can still burn. What do you think? Let’s chat in the comments.#今晚CPI公布，9月加息定价会改写吗？
Three scenarios, let me break them down for you:
🔥 Scenario 1: CPI exceeds expectations (above 3.4%)
The probability of a September rate hike will skyrocket. The Fed hawks have been clamoring for a hike, and if the data cooperates, the market will have to reprice. Gold and US stocks will both take a hit.
📉 Scenario 2: CPI moderately declines (meets or slightly below expectations)
This is the scenario the market wants most. Bank of America said that if CPI unexpectedly drops, it will "basically rule out" a Fed rate hike in September. Citi shares the same view. The dollar will fall, and gold might rally again.
🤷 Scenario 3: CPI remains flat or fluctuates slightly
Then the market stays stuck. The current roughly 50% chance of a rate hike already factors in this uncertainty. If the data brings no big surprises, the market may continue to oscillate, waiting for the next report.

A few more words from me:
The situation is indeed complicated now—employment has cooled (July nonfarm -23,000), but inflation hasn't fully come down. The Fed is caught in a "dual mandate" dilemma. Cleveland Fed President Mester recently hawked, saying "more than one rate hike may be needed." Chair Powell's style is also a variable.
So tonight's CPI is the "switch." Once the data is out, the pricing for a September hike will very likely be rewritten—either the hike expectation surges above 60% or drops below 30%. I suggest everyone be ready at 8:30 PM tonight, don't miss this move.
Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments, I'm here waiting. $BTC ASTER: 5 days left in the countdown to unlocking on 8/17, three sets of figures (Certik estimates about 6.099% of circulating supply, CoinLaunch estimates about 164.7 million tokens worth approximately $111 million, Tokenomist estimates about 46.95 million tokens) remain unreconciled, no official announcement, P0 verification deadline approaching.
AAVE: Aave App Launch (ARFC-25307) and V3 inefficient market cleanup proposal (removal of 75 markets involving about $98.1 million in assets) are both stock as of before 8/1, no new governance activity in this window; Fee Switch / RPUR remain at P1 tracking.
UNI: No new evidence; fee switch revenue data is stock as of 8/6 (cumulative about $23.15 million since activation, daily revenue about $325,000 after expanding to 7 chains in July, Ark Invest estimates annualized burn about $90 million); project file missing status continues.
LINK: BitGo WBTC migration continues (catenaa stated on 8/10 that migration of $7.4 billion WBTC has started), no new execution details from 8/11-8/12; no official date for SmartCon 2026, so not used as basis for that day.KuCoin announced it will delist $TUT

This is only a market review and does not constitute trading advice. With tonight's CPI data release, be sure to lower leverage on contracts and avoid heavy positions betting on direction in advance.
The midday market remains low volume and volatile, with the entire market waiting on the evening inflation data. Funds are cautious about entering or exiting positions. The market shows divergence: coins like BNB and DOGE are relatively resistant to declines, some public chain coins are weakening, daytime volatility is limited, and major moves will concentrate after the US market data release.
$BTC (Big Coin)
Midday range-bound between 63400-63800, both bulls and bears are cautious. Resistance above at 64200-64600; without volume breakout, the weak pattern will persist. Key support at 63200; if broken, further downside is expected. Before data release, it’s best to stay on the sidelines and not preemptively bet on price direction.
$ETH (Second Coin)
Slightly more resistant to decline than BTC, but the rebound lacks volume support. Resistance at 1900-1930; only a close above 1930 signals a real strength shift. Short-term defense at 1840; if this level fails, altcoins will likely pull back collectively.
$SOL
Public chain overall weak, fully following BTC sentiment. Resistance at 78-80; without capital inflow, a rebound is unlikely. Support at 74; breaking this opens downside risk, so blind bottom-fishing is not advisable.
$XRP
Holding above the $1 mark with slight volatility, showing relative resilience today. Resistance at 1.05, support at 0.98. Without news catalysts, it won’t develop an independent trend and will follow BTC’s moves.
$BNB
Among mainstream coins, it has the strongest safe-haven attributes and good resilience. Resistance at 615, support at 588. Even if the market oscillates, its decline is limited, but without market recovery, it’s hard to see a strong bullish candle.
$ADA
Typically follows declines but not rallies; its drop widens when the market pulls back. Resistance at 0.202, support at 0.183. Without positive news, it passively follows market fluctuations.
$DOGE (Dogecoin)
A meme coin with speculative trading at midday, ranking high in 24-hour gains. Resistance at 0.073, support at 0.068. Emotion-driven; if the market crashes, it cannot withstand the downside risk.
$AVAX
The weakest among mainstream coins, with obvious selling pressure and low volume. Resistance at 6.85, support at 6.15. No short-term strength signals; best to stay on the sidelines.
Brief Coin Summary
• $BTC: Range-bound before CPI, waiting for data, no premature directional bets
• $ETH: Slightly resistant to decline, weak rebound, watch 1840 support closely
• $SOL: Public chain weak, high risk for bottom-fishing
• $XRP: Slightly strong, still follows BTC trend
• $BNB: Safe-haven and resistant, don’t expect counter-trend rallies
• $ADA: Weak follower, no reversal signals
• $DOGE: Speculative trading, high risk
• $AVAX: Insufficient volume, weak market, stay cautious
Market Reminder: After CPI release, sharp stop-loss triggers are highly likely. Avoid high leverage positions and prioritize capital protection. #今晚CPI公布，9月加息定价会改写吗？ #现货ETF资金分化，BTC卖压仍在 HYPE｜Unlocking Enhanced Evidence of Selling Continuity: Multi-Source Indications of Continuous Reduction
The real change occurred from 8/10 to 8/11 with multiple on-chain selling evidence from various sources. According to zippfeed, after HyperLabs unlocked 421,879 HYPE (approximately $18.08 million) on 8/10, it deposited 400,000 HYPE (about $17.34 million) into Bybit and OKX within 11 hours; the MEXC fund flow page shows a whale unstaking about 1.89 million HYPE (around $106 million); another post states that Multicoin Capital and Bitwise together transferred 159,563 HYPE (about $8.74 million) to Coinbase-related addresses. This continues the team selling recorded on 8/7, 8/8, and 8/9, marking the first time the continuous reduction narrative is supported by multiple sources.
Key evidence supporting the current assessment: HyperLabs deposited 400,000 HYPE into exchanges (HypurrScan data, Grade C); MEXC page indicates net outflows on 6 of the past 7 days totaling over $10 million, while the HYPE spot ETF had a net inflow of only $2.84 million last week (Grade D, AI-generated page, cite cautiously); the 8/10 report noted open interest contracts hitting a new high for 2026 while protocol revenue declined for consecutive quarters.BTC｜BIP-110 Officially Marked Closed: Fork Closed, Governance Aftermath Unresolved
The real change is a definitive upgrade: On 8/11, the official BIP repository marked BIP-110 as Closed, citing chain split and mining stagnation; the execution branch froze at block 961,633 after producing only 2 blocks since 8/9. This follows the "freeze 2 blocks" observation recorded on 8/10, with the proposal moving from "under observation" to officially "closed."
Key evidence supporting the current judgment: CoinDesk Chinese reported on 8/11 that Luke Dashjr was removed from BIP editor duties (accused of abusing editing rights, such as assigning BIP numbers without discussion) and announced a leave of absence from his roles as chairman and CTO of the Ocean mining pool; Bitcoin Knots claimed the network was "under attack" and block production slowed, which was criticized as misleading by Ripple's former CTO David Schwartz; Knots plans to deterministically select a new PoW algorithm this Tuesday, and rabidmining reported that supporters are formally planning a new Bitcoin PoW fork. ⬆️ S ă̈𝓕 ĕ̈ 𝓧⬆️ 🈴Approximate, live trading, price points Stop loss, take profit, logic settings
Market tone: The weekly chart is still oscillating within a large range. Today, the intraday technical side is oscillating with quality control, with a bias downward; note that if it really goes to 63200. After breaking below and closing under 63200 within 4 hours, look for 62500; if it closes back above 64200 within 4 hours, today's decline judgment is invalid. BTC core key levels: 63200 BTC daily line long-short dividing line: 64200 Resistance above: 63800, 64200, 64800 Support below: 63200, 62500, 62200 #今晚CPI公布，9月加息定价会改写吗？ #财报观察员：AI基建财报接力登场 #黄金站上4400美元，避险需求升温 BTC is consolidating around $63,000, ETH is holding firm at $1,800 — in this stalemate, funds will only concentrate where certainty is highest.
Today's market is the best proof: CeFi sector rose nearly 2% against the trend, BNB alone surged over 3%, while NFT dropped over 6%, Layer2 fell 1.7%, and DeFi showed weakness across the board. This is not a broad altcoin recovery; it's a reallocation of existing funds — withdrawing from continuously bleeding thematic sectors and shifting into CeFi with better liquidity and stronger narratives, plus a few leading coins. LINK's 4% rise couldn't lift the market, indicating a serious lack of follow-up buying and that internal altcoin differentiation is now settled.
The judgment is clear: CeFi leading the rise does not mean the main uptrend has started; no new incremental funds have entered, this is a pulse rebound under a zero-sum game.
Next, focus on two key indicators: whether BTC can break out with volume above $63,000 and hold, and whether ETH can continue its rebound. Only if these two open up space will funds dare to spread into altcoins; otherwise, chasing those suddenly pumped small-cap coins is likely still a range-bound market.
Spot ETF funds remain divided, BTC selling pressure persists. Last week's positive net inflow of $850 million has been mostly offset by the $145 million outflow on August 10, showing institutional sentiment is still wavering. Strategy sold another 1,690 BTC this week (about 6,948 BTC sold year-to-date). Although the 840,000 BTC holding remains a base position, short-term supply increase is an undeniable fact.
On the macro front, CPI expectations, oil price volatility, and gold surging to $4,400 — risk-off sentiment dominates the market, with funds preferring to flow back into BTC and leading CeFi platforms rather than gambling on altcoin volatility.
The conclusion remains unchanged: this bottom still needs to be tested; treat everything as a rebound, not a reversal. Without BTC effectively breaking past previous highs, altcoins will struggle to sustain a rally. The biggest risk now is impulsively chasing BNB and LINK just because they have risen — rotation is fast, chasing highs means handing over to front-runner funds.
Be patient for BTC to break out with volume and for ETH to confirm a rebound trend before considering position replenishment. Until then, control your position size and keep your hands in check. 026-08-12 Crypto Daily Market Scan
1. Today, focus on just these 1–2 things
First, Bitcoin BIP-110 has been officially marked as Closed by the official BIP repository. The forked chain remains frozen at block 961,633 (about 326 blocks behind the main chain). The main promoter Luke Dashjr has been removed from the BIP editor position and announced a leave of absence from Ocean. Bitcoin Knots claims the network was "attacked" and plans to select a new PoW algorithm. The governance status has been upgraded from "practically stalled" on 8/10 to "officially closed with personnel changes," substantially reducing tail risks on the main chain. Second, evidence of continuous unlocking and selling of HYPE has strengthened: HyperLabs unlocked 421,879 HYPE on 8/10, and within 11 hours deposited 400,000 into Bybit and OKX; on-chain data also shows whales unstaking about 1.89 million, and Multicoin and Bitwise transferring about 159,600 to Coinbase-related addresses. Continuous selling has shifted from "pending evidence" to "multi-source indication of continuity," but most sources have low authority and do not yet trigger rating adjustments. On the macro front, the SEC held a public meeting today to evaluate customized crypto regulations and previewed "innovation exemptions" paving the way for security tokenization; When you see a skyscraper dismantling its own steel beams to secure a loan, you should understand: the height line soaring into the clouds on the blueprint has already been defeated by the cash flow gap on the construction site. Empery Digital's on-chain actions are exactly such a "demolition permit."
As someone who has been drawing blueprints for years, I have seen too many projects treating whitepapers as renderings. But a corporate treasury is not a rendering; it is a building that must bear weight. From July 1 to August 6, Empery Digital sold 1,635 BTC, cashing out $102.2 million — this is equivalent to smashing an entire already poured floor slab and selling it as scrap steel. Holdings dropped to 1,279 BTC, of which 954 BTC were used to secure $35 million in debt, leaving only 325 BTC as truly "unrestricted" assets.
In building structure terms, what is this called? It’s called "load-bearing walls becoming collateral." When people initially held 10,000 BTC shouting "digital gold," everyone felt they were building the Empire State Building, with decentralization as the foundation of freedom. But once debt matures and liquidity tightens, these BTC shift from strategic reserves to emergency backup funds. The 954 BTC locked as debt collateral means you only own a structural column held down by creditors — not your own support column. The 325 BTC of free assets is the only true safe room you have in a supertall building.
First lesson in architecture: a structure without free cash flow, no matter how fancy the facade, is just temporary scaffolding. The corporate Bitcoin treasury shifting from "accumulation" to "liquidity and debt management" essentially means switching from "building up" to "demolishing to repay loans." Previously, accumulation was pouring concrete, believing future appreciation would cover time costs; now, selling and collateralizing admit the building needs repairs, fearing it won’t withstand upcoming weather, so part of the steel beams must be dismantled to reinforce existing floors. This "weekly" disturbance has little impact on the overall stress distribution of the building but exposes a shift in structural strategy.
The US stock token $XLLY is like the "shadow ownership certificate" issued by this building externally. When you see the original structure weakening, you should no longer blindly trust the shadow price’s firmness. The building’s load-bearing walls have been dismantled by several floors, so naturally the valuation system of the shadow ownership loosens. This is not a construction issue but a structural safety issue.
My professional judgment is simple: any building that starts dismantling its main structure to repay debt is no longer a landmark but a construction site yet to be completed. Empery Digital has personally exchanged the height on the blueprint for the construction crew’s severance pay.

Eleven days have passed this month, and so far, profits have been taken on 10 days!!!
BTC is fluctuating around 63765, with a total market cap of 2.27 trillion, down 0.43%. ETH rose 0.45% to 1884. Gold rose to 4390, with weekly gains still expanding. Crude oil continues to rebound to $83.9, and the Hormuz Strait deadlock is heating up.
The liquidation map shows BTC currently at 63765. The dense long liquidation zone is between 63000 and 63500; breaking below 63000 may accelerate long position liquidations. The concentrated short liquidation zone is between 64000 and 65000; breaking above 64000 may trigger continuous short liquidations. The price is exactly stuck in the middle, with bulls and bears both waiting for Wednesday night’s CPI data to provide direction.
Geopolitical news continues to worsen. The Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council clearly stated that unless the US accepts the ceasefire conditions, the Strait of Hormuz will not reopen. The US military fired missiles at ships heading to Iranian ports in the Gulf of Oman, and Houthi forces attacked ships in the Mandeb Strait, causing crew fatalities. Both the Hormuz and Mandeb straits are under simultaneous pressure, oil prices continue to rebound to $83.9, and geopolitical risk premiums are re-entering the market.
Federal Reserve officials are intensifying hawkish rhetoric. Chicago Fed President Goolsby emphasized that rapid price increases are the biggest current problem. Cleveland Fed President Mester clearly stated that multiple rate hikes may be needed to push inflation back to 2%. Hawkish comments combined with the eve of CPI data put short-term rate-sensitive assets under pressure, and risk appetite is becoming cautious. Tonight’s CPI will directly determine the direction of September’s policy pricing.
The market’s focus is entirely on CPI. The overall year-over-year expectation is 3.4%, core at 2.5%, both slightly down from previous values. However, the oil price rebound and geopolitical deadlock have introduced uncertainty to inflation expectations. If the data is below expectations, the probability of a September rate hike will continue to decline, and BTC is expected to break through 64000 to challenge 65000. If the data is above expectations, rate hike expectations will surge again, and BTC may retest 63000 to 62500.
There is a marginal positive for Nvidia. Jensen Huang clarified on platform X the previously misunderstood compute financing plan, clearly stating support capped at no more than 25% of a single project’s opportunity, and that it is limited support based on residual value, intended to supplement rather than replace independent underwriters. The market’s previous concerns about unlimited credit risk exposure have been significantly alleviated, leading to short-term sentiment recovery for Nvidia and related AI hardware stocks.
Institutional views are diverging. 22V Research pointed out that although the S&P 500 has repeatedly hit new highs, in the past 25 weeks, short positions exceeded long positions in 20 weeks. Institutional holdings lag fundamentals, and historically, excessive pessimism often signals positive returns in the following 1 to 6 months. Wells Fargo’s sentiment indicator is close to the sell zone after extreme bullishness. Both sides have data support, and short-term assets remain dominated by CPI and geopolitical factors.
In terms of operations, maintain flexible positions before the CPI data; avoid heavy bets on direction. BTC is currently at 63765; continue holding the long position at 62288, moving the stop loss up below 63000. If weak CPI data drives BTC to break above 64000 with volume, you can add positions and follow up. The first target is 65000 to 65500; a breakout target is 66500 to 67000. If strong CPI data causes BTC to fall below 63000, exit first and wait for clear direction before entering again. The nonfarm payrolls already shook the table halfway; CPI will determine the nature of this round. Don’t act before the data; follow the direction after the data lands. Set stop losses well and act only when direction is clear.
Brother Ci is done speaking. Think it over carefully. $BTC $ETH $SNDK #今晚CPI公布，9月加息定价会改写吗？ #CLARITY延期，SEC拟推进监管规则补位 #财报观察员：AI基建财报接力登场 On the eve of the 8:30 PM CPI showdown tonight: a tug-of-war between bulls and bears causing choppy consolidation—who is holding their breath?
As the countdown to the US July CPI data at 20:30 tonight begins, global capital markets are entering an extremely sensitive and delicate “silent period.” For major assets like gold, before the boot drops, the market is very likely to continue a high-level choppy consolidation. This is no coincidence but the inevitable result of multiple resonances between current macro fundamentals and technical factors.
Macro game: the tug-of-war between cooling employment and sticky inflation
The market’s hesitation before the CPI stems from the unprecedented policy balancing challenge faced by the Federal Reserve. On one hand, last week’s unexpectedly negative nonfarm payroll data (-23,000) sent a strong signal of labor market cooling, sharply reducing market bets on a September rate hike; on the other hand, repeated geopolitical tensions in the Middle East have pushed international oil prices higher, and inflation’s “stickiness” keeps Fed officials hawkish. Tonight’s CPI report is the key weight deciding which way this tug-of-war will tip. Before the final reading is revealed, big money dares not break the fragile balance lightly and can only engage in repeated tug-of-war within the market.
Technical warning: dual pressure from overbought correction and profit-taking
From the market structure perspective, gold’s strong rebound since August has seen a short-term surge that has clearly triggered an “overbought” technical warning. After touching resistance above $4400, gold prices surged then pulled back, with daily candles showing long upper shadows, indicating heavy selling pressure at highs. Meanwhile, the current price stands one standard deviation above the 50-day moving average, and historical data shows such overbought conditions often lead to technical pullbacks. Therefore, before the CPI data release, both bulls and bears are fiercely adjusting positions—short-term profit takers are eager to lock in gains, while long-term bulls are stubbornly defending key support zones (such as the 4330-4370 range). This thorough chip rotation directly causes the market’s “grinding” volatility.
CPI scenario analysis: the ultimate variable to break the balance
Tonight’s data will directly determine the breakout direction. The market’s battle over the core CPI month-on-month increase has reached a fever pitch:
● If the data is mild (MoM ≤ 0.2%): rate hike expectations will quickly cool, bulls may break through the strong resistance zone of 4400-4435, opening upward space.
● If the data meets expectations (MoM 0.2%-0.25%): the market will likely maintain the current wide-range consolidation, continuing to await the next macro guidance.
● If the data explodes (MoM ≥ 0.3%): fears of runaway inflation will reignite, high long positions may trigger a stampede of profit-taking, and gold prices could quickly retest support at 4300 or even lower.
Trading discipline: tonight’s market belongs to the “disciplined”
During this “garbage time” before the data release, blindly chasing rallies or panicking sell-offs is a major trading taboo. The current choppy consolidation is essentially cleansing weak floating positions. For traders, the wisest strategy now is to control position size and trade high and low around key support and resistance levels. Remember, before the CPI lands, do not try to predict the absolute data value but prepare for all kinds of extreme volatility. Tonight’s market does not belong to subjective guessers but to those who strictly follow discipline. Let’s quietly await the 8:30 bell and see how the market delivers the final answer. $XAU $BTC Bitcoin's "Silent Market": Sideways for Five Weeks, Waiting for CPI Breakthrough
$BTC is currently around $63,800, still trapped in the sideways range of $62,000–$65,000 for over five weeks. Within 24 hours, the price once touched a low of $63,250, then rebounded to the current level, with very limited volatility.
The direct cause of the price deadlock is the offsetting forces of bulls and bears. On one hand, Bitcoin ETFs continue to see strong inflows, led by BlackRock's IBIT, providing bottom support for the market; on the other hand, large-scale off-exchange selling by miners and Strategy (MSTR) continues to suppress the price. These two forces are evenly matched, and trading volume in the crypto market has dropped to a three-year low, lacking momentum to push the price breakout. Volatility has been compressed to an extremely low level—implied volatility has fallen to the historical 1st percentile.
The real catalyst for the market is not on-chain but in macro data. The US July CPI data is about to be released: the market expects a month-over-month increase of 0.1%, and a year-over-year decrease from 3.5% to 3.4%. If the CPI meets or is below expectations, cooling inflation will consolidate expectations for policy easing, benefiting risk assets; if the data exceeds expectations, there is a need to guard against another dip to the lower boundary of the range.
Key price levels: the first support is at $63,500–$63,800, strong support at $62,500; short-term resistance at $64,800, and key breakout pressure at $65,400. CryptoQuant founder reveals in one sentence the "false fire" of Bitcoin's rebound
---
📊 1. Core viewpoint: Spot does not follow, difficult to sustain the rise
CryptoQuant founder Ki Young Ju posted on platform X: Currently, the Bitcoin market is dominated by the futures market, with open interest increasing, while the net spot demand on-chain remains negative. Sustainable upward movement requires support from both spot and futures demand; as shown in April, without spot support, futures-driven rallies are often hard to maintain.
🔍 2. What does "futures dominate, spot absent" mean?
Futures demand (leveraged funds): Open interest is rising, funding rates have turned positive, indicating traders are increasing leverage to go long. But the futures market is a zero-sum game—someone's profit is someone else's loss, so it does not create genuine buying pressure.
Spot demand (real money): On-chain data shows "net spot demand remains negative"—although ETFs continue to see inflows, spot buying on centralized exchanges (CEX) is net selling. Buyers are retreating, even if you don't see it.
⚠️ 3. Why is the lesson from April worth heeding?
Ki Young Ju mentioned the April lesson: Bitcoin then experienced a futures-driven rally with a sharp rise in open interest, but spot demand did not keep pace. The result? The subsequent rally failed to continue, and prices gave back most of the gains.
The current situation is very similar to April: a hot futures market (rising OI, positive funding rates) + weak spot demand (net spot demand on-chain still negative) = fragile structure, which could be undone by a single bearish candle at any time.
📈 4. The current "split" state of the market
Futures side (hot): Open interest continues to rise, funding rates positive, exchange trading volume warming up.
Spot side (cold): Korean premium disappeared, Coinbase premium remains negative, on-chain whales overall still leaning towards selling.
ETF side (neutral to bullish): Last week saw a net inflow of $850 million, the strongest since April, mainly from BlackRock's IBIT, with limited inflows from other ETFs.
💎 5. Summary
The CryptoQuant founder's one sentence exposes the "false fire" of the current rebound—futures pulling up, spot not following, making the rise hard to sustain.
This does not mean Bitcoin will definitely fall, but it warns investors: the quality of the current rebound is questionable. Without sustained spot demand support, futures-driven rallies are like building castles on the sand—they look tall but vanish with a single wave.
A truly sustainable bull market requires a "dual drive" from both spot and futures. Until on-chain spot demand turns positive, all rebounds should be approached with caution. Bitcoin at $65,000 looks beautiful, but the underlying chip structure may not be as solid as it appears.
$BTC $ONE. In-depth analysis of negative factors
ONE experienced an extreme plunge today without any sudden black swan announcements related to the project, but the token has long accumulated multiple potential negative factors, making its fundamentals very fragile and amplifying the market stampede.
1. Liquidity exhaustion, potential risk of delisting from platforms
ONE currently has a market cap of about 19.5 million USD, ranking low in market cap with overall liquidity scarcity. Binance ONE/USDT spot daily trading volume is sluggish, and large trades suffer from extremely high slippage, which is a key trigger for today's 53.96% extreme volatility and stampede. As the industry continues to clear out, small tokens are increasingly scrutinized by exchanges, and there is market concern about ONE being delisted by mainstream platforms in the future, although no top-tier platform has announced delisting yet.
2. Project fundamentals continue to weaken
Third-party tools show a low ecological health score and long-term low on-chain ecosystem activity; the token has no maximum supply cap, leading to inflationary issuance and long-term dilution risk for holders. The lack of new substantial positive narratives weakens market confidence.
3. Lingering historical legal risks unresolved
In 2022, Harmony's cross-chain bridge suffered a $100 million theft, and related legal proceedings are still ongoing, with this historical security incident continuing to negatively impact the project's outlook.
4. Industry-wide pressure
Overall market liquidity is contracting, and the industry is entering a clearing phase. Old projects without sustainable business models and with shrinking ecosystems have weak resistance to selling pressure and are more likely to be sold off.
Market outlook:
Under the baseline scenario, ONE is likely to maintain a low-range oscillation, following altcoin market fluctuations, overall under pressure with slow downward pressure. Extreme scenario: if project development stalls and multiple mainstream exchanges delist it, token trading liquidity will be completely lost, facing a very high risk of going to zero.
The direct cause of today's plunge is weak liquidity combined with cascading contract liquidations, with no sudden new negative news; however, multiple long-term fundamental risks objectively exist, further amplifying market risk. This token carries extremely high risk and is not suitable for ordinary investors.

#CLARITY延期，SEC拟推进监管规则补位 Common CPI Market Traps: Don't Confuse "Safe-Haven Assets" with "Risk Assets," Understand the True Pricing Logic of BTC
📈 Trading Insights | The Most Common Mistakes People Make Before Major Data Releases
For a long time, the market has circulated two contradictory views: during market crashes, BTC is a risk asset; during geopolitical conflicts, BTC is digital gold and a safe-haven asset. Many traders have repeatedly misjudged the CPI market because of this.
Here's a clear explanation of the current real market pricing rules:
Short-term (days to weeks, e.g., tomorrow's CPI market): BTC and ETH are both defined by the market as highly volatile risk assets, with price movements following Nasdaq and U.S. Treasury yields.
CPI higher than expected → rate cuts delayed → U.S. Treasury yields rise → risk assets generally under pressure, both major coins fall in sync;
CPI lower than expected → easing expectations rise → capital embraces growth and risk assets, market recovers.
Long-term cycle perspective: Only in the case of a global systemic liquidity crisis or intense geopolitical conflict does BTC's narrative as digital gold and a safe haven come into play. Ordinary inflation data rarely triggers safe-haven logic.
Distinguishing their volatility characteristics:
$BTC has abundant liquidity, making large capital flows easy, with relatively mild selling pressure during fluctuations;
$ETH has a higher proportion of leveraged funds, so when the market weakens, cascading liquidations usually cause larger drops.
Practical advice for tomorrow:
Do not heavily position in advance to bet on CPI results. Historical data shows that before and after inflation data releases, stop-loss hunting and whipsaws are common.
Wait for the market to digest the news and establish a stable trend before following the momentum; this approach has a much higher success rate than betting on direction early. Leveraged traders must reduce positions in advance to avoid sudden severe volatility Account Position Divergence Radar
First, look at how many accounts are betting on the direction, then see how heavy the top holdings are.
$DOGE long accounts dominate, but the top holding ratio has not exceeded 1, indicating a mismatch between account sentiment and position strength. Price is rising while positions are shrinking; this phase should be understood as a reduction rebound. What the long side lacks next is not more accounts, but confirmation of the top position weight.
$CAP account numbers consistently lean bearish, but the top holding ratio is above 1, so the bearish account count has not turned into a top short position advantage. The 15-minute increase in short positions indicates new positions are participating in this downward pressure. Until the top holding ratio falls below 1, the short account advantage remains an incomplete consensus.
$XRP account numbers consistently lean bullish, but the top holding ratio is still below 1, so the numerical advantage has not turned into a top position advantage. Price and positions are rising together, indicating new positions are involved in this fluctuation, not just position reductions. Until the top holding ratio returns above 1, the long account advantage remains an incomplete consensus. $SNDK Midday Analysis on 8.12
Current price 1310.69, the 4-hour cycle has completed a full wave cycle:
Bottom start: The previous low dipped to 972.20 forming a stage bottom, with continuous inflow of bullish funds, leading to a sustained bullish rally;
High peak: Price surged to a stage peak of 1483.00, after which bullish momentum completely exhausted, bears concentrated heavy selling pressure, initiating a continuous deep correction;
Low consolidation and recovery: After correction, price completed bottom sideways consolidation in the 1200-1250 range, short-term buying gradually supported, forming a steady rising rebound. Current price holds above 1310, in the middle phase of the rebound. Personal suggestion by Yifan: head and shoulders near 1370-1450, target near 1280-1200
First short-term resistance: 1350-1370, mid-correction oscillation pivot, primary selling pressure zone during rebound;
Mid-term strong resistance zone: 1430-1483, dense transaction area at stage highs, accumulating a large amount of high-level trapped positions, a key dividing line between bulls and bears;
Downside support (top-down):
Short-term immediate defense support: 1280, lower boundary of current rebound oscillation, first line of defense for short-term bulls;
Core bottom support: 1200-1250, previous bottom consolidation range, a valid break below would end this rebound rally;
Ultimate trend support: 972.20, wave bottom, mid-term bullish trend lifeline #BTC #ETH #BTC trend analysisWorld Cup Ends, Prediction Markets "Swim Naked" — Polymarket Weekly Trading Volume Plummets 56% from Peak, Kalshi Eats into Market Share
---
📊 1. Overall Data: Falls Below 100 Billion, The Party Ends
After the World Cup ended, the heat in prediction markets cooled sharply. As of the first week of August, the combined nominal trading volume of Kalshi and Polymarket Global dropped 19.8% week-on-week to $9.74 billion, marking the first time since late June that it fell below $100 billion. The combined monthly trading volume of the three major platforms reached a record high of $50.6 billion in July, but the correction after the feast was equally severe.
🔥 2. Polymarket: From "King" to "Swimming Naked"
Polymarket Global's weekly trading volume plunged 56% from its peak. Polymarket International version declined 26% month-on-month in July to $7.9 billion; Polymarket Builders' trading volume has fallen for four consecutive weeks, with the number of Builders having weekly nominal trading volumes exceeding $5 million dropping from a peak of 13 to only 5.
Polymarket's problem lies in its overreliance on major events. During the World Cup, bets on match scores and celebrity viewership drove activity, but after the event ended, the lack of new hotspots naturally caused a cliff-like drop in trading activity.
📈 3. Kalshi: Counter-trend Expansion, "Greedy When Others Are Fearful"
In stark contrast to Polymarket's plunge, Kalshi showed stronger resilience. Kalshi's weekly trading volume only fell 13.5% to $7.89 billion. Its market share expanded from 68.6% at the end of June to a historic high of 81.0%, marking six consecutive weeks of growth.
The core reason for Kalshi's better resistance to decline is product diversification. During the World Cup, sports trading accounted for about 80% of the total trading volume on both platforms, but Kalshi successfully shifted user attention to smaller, short-cycle markets like MLB baseball, ATP tennis, and economic events such as Federal Reserve interest rate decisions — economic trading volume that week rose 134.4% week-on-week to $111 million. Although Polymarket Global still dominates political (74.3%) and geopolitical (96.5%) trading, its overreliance on a single track leaves it struggling when hotspots are absent.
💎 4. Summary
The World Cup was like a strong stimulant, pushing prediction markets to a historic peak of $50.6 billion in July. Less than a month after the event ended, Polymarket's weekly trading volume plunged 56% from its peak, with the market cooling at a shocking speed. Polymarket's problem is "made and broken by major events" — without the World Cup, elections, or geopolitical crises, users lose reasons to bet. Meanwhile, Kalshi is expanding its market share against the industry-wide cooling by diversifying across sports, economic, and political tracks.
The U.S. midterm elections in the fall will be the next major catalyst — until then, prediction markets may continue to operate at low levels. Whoever can retain users during the "no hotspot period" will be the true winner when the next wave arrives.
$POL BTC is consolidating around $63,000, ETH is holding firm at $1,800 — in this stalemate, funds will only concentrate in the most certain places.
Today's market confirmed this: CeFi sector rose nearly 2% against the trend, BNB alone surged over 3%, while NFT dropped over 6%, Layer2 fell 1.7%, and DeFi was weak across the board. This is not a broad recovery, but an accelerated rotation of existing funds — withdrawing from continuously bleeding concept sectors and reallocating to CeFi with better liquidity and stronger narratives, plus a few leading coins. LINK's 4% rise couldn't lift the overall market, indicating a serious lack of follow-up buying and that internal differentiation among altcoins is now settled.
The judgment is clear: CeFi leading the rise does not mean the main uptrend has started; no new incremental funds have entered, this is a pulse rebound under a stock game.
Next, focus on two key indicators: whether BTC can break out with volume and hold above $63,000, and whether ETH can continue its rebound. Only if these two open up space will funds dare to spread to altcoins; otherwise, chasing those suddenly pumped small-cap coins now is most likely just a stand-by market.
Spot ETF funds are still diverging, and BTC selling pressure remains. Strategy sold another 1,690 BTC this week (about 6,948 BTC reduced year-to-date). Although the 840,000 BTC holding is still a base position, the short-term supply increase is an indisputable fact. Last week's ETF net inflow of $850 million has been mostly offset by the $145 million outflow on August 10, showing institutional sentiment remains wavering.
On the regulatory front, the SEC is advancing frameworks, the White House is pushing the CLARITY Act, and Russia has approved BTC/ETH/USDT exchange trading — medium to long-term positives are clear, but short-term details and timelines remain unclear, insufficient to break the current volatile pattern.
The conclusion remains unchanged: this bottom still needs to be tested; everything should be treated as a rebound, not a reversal bet. Without BTC effectively breaking past previous highs, altcoins will struggle to sustain a rally. The biggest taboo now is impulsively chasing after BNB and LINK just because they have risen — rotation is fast, chasing highs only hands over to front-runner funds.
Be patient and wait for BTC to break out with volume, wait for ETH to confirm a rebound trend, then consider position replenishment. Until then, control your position size and keep your hands in check. Oil prices have fully returned to an average of $85, which indicates that the market is not very optimistic about the negotiations between the US and Iran. However, there are various opinions circulating in the market, and even the US and Iran have conveyed two different statements. Overall, Iran still firmly controls the Strait of Hormuz, but I don't believe Iran can keep resisting the US indefinitely.
I previously mentioned that the Strait of Hormuz restricts not only the US but almost the entire global oil supply. Currently, the communication between Iran and Oman is not about completely blocking the Strait of Hormuz but about blocking ships from the US and hostile forces. If this is the mainstream view and what Iran intends to implement, it means the ceiling for oil prices won't be too high.
Secondly, will the US just remain indifferent while Iran drags this on? Today's oil price increase is also related to the US's insufficient strategic reserves. Rising oil prices and inflation are not good for the US economy. Currently, most of the US domestic opinion opposes a war between Trump and Iran, but if Iran continues to block the Strait of Hormuz causing a recession in US livelihoods, neither the Republican nor Democratic parties will stand by and watch this happen.
Not to mention the US is also blockading Iranian ports. Data shows Iran's recent oil exports have dropped to about 20%. War benefits neither side; the US is clearly burning more money, and although Iran is a theocratic state, people still need to eat. Let's continue to keep an eye on this.
There’s still not much to say about Bitcoin. My dual currency contract expires tomorrow. This time, unlike Monday, the high sell at $66,000 is very likely to fail, but I’m quite looking forward to the bottom buy at $63,000. I have no problem buying at the bottom.
Crypto, US stocks, Hong Kong stocks, Korean stocks, gold, CFDs, prediction markets—all in one trading platformCryptoQuant analyst ShayanMarkets stated that Bitcoin's realized price UTXO time intervals show that investors holding coins for 1 to 3 months and 3 to 6 months have average holding costs of approximately $67,000 and $72,000 respectively, both currently higher than the BTC spot price of about $65,000, indicating that these two groups of holders are overall at a floating loss.
Among them, the $67,000 cost line for 1 to 3 month holders is closer to the current price. If BTC continues to rebound, holders who were previously at a loss may reduce their positions when the price returns near the cost, creating resistance at that level. The $72,000 cost line for 3 to 6 month holders forms a higher level of resistance.
If BTC can reclaim these two realized price levels, it means the market is absorbing the potential sell pressure from recent buyers and will strengthen the judgment of a market recovery. Before that, Bitcoin still faces significant resistance above.$BTC 64000 turned into a resistance level, the rebound failed to hold above 64500, bears dominate. Focus on the 62000-62500 support zone, a break could easily trigger long stop losses. Also beware of a shakeout move pushing up to 65000 before the CPI.SK Hynix is currently experiencing a small rebound, but as I always say: don't rush to short. If you really want to short, I would suggest waiting until it reaches around 1200 or even 1300 before considering it; don't rush to enter at this weak rebound level.
From a long-term perspective, if you are optimistic about this company's prospects, you can take the opportunity to start slowly building your position, as it has already corrected nearly 50% from its peak, making it relatively cheap.
Recently, SK Hynix announced multiple expansion plans, including an additional investment of 54 trillion KRW to build new factories in Yongin and Cheongju, demonstrating the company's confidence in the long-term demand for AI memory; analysts are generally bullish, with KGI forecasting the stock price could double in the next 12 months, and Morgan Stanley maintaining a buy rating.
However, there are still concerns in the market about rumors of selling part of the equity in the Chinese packaging and testing plant, which the company has clarified; additionally, rumors that Apple is testing chips from Chinese memory manufacturer CXMT have caused some noise regarding SK Hynix's market share.
Overall, institutions are bullish in the long term, but short-term stock price volatility remains high.Tonight the CPI is released, will the September rate hike pricing be rewritten?
Last Friday, at the moment the nonfarm payroll data came out—
-23,000.
You read that right, US July nonfarm employment turned negative.
The market expected an increase of 80,000, but it directly went negative. The May and June data were also revised down by a total of 103,000.
At that time, everyone thought: rate hikes would stop! September was certain!
And then?
Federal Reserve officials collectively turned hawkish two days later. Chicago Fed President Goolsbee directly said: “The biggest problem facing the US economy right now is not industrial collapse, nor employment collapse, but prices rising too fast.”
Cleveland Fed President was even more severe— the Fed may need multiple rate hikes to push inflation back to 2%.
The employment data gave the Fed a stepping stone, but inflation could pull that step away at any time.
CME FedWatch shows: the probability of holding rates steady in September is only 48.8%, while the probability of a 25 basis point hike is 51.2%.
It's a toss-up.
One employment data point changed the rate hike expectation from "a done deal" to "a 50-50 chance."
Why?
Because the market is smarter than you. It knows: one employment data point is not enough; inflation is the ultimate judge.
The Fed just held rates at 3.50%-3.75% in July, with 3 out of 12 voters dissenting, advocating for a hike. The internal consensus isn’t even unified yet, so why do you think one nonfarm report can stop a September hike?
Tonight at 8:30, US July CPI.
The market has already drawn the line for you—
Overall CPI YoY: from 3.5% down to 3.4% Core CPI YoY: from 2.6% down to 2.5% Overall CPI MoM: up 0.1% Core CPI MoM: up 0.2%
Remember these numbers. Tonight’s direction depends entirely on how they deviate.
Scenario 1: CPI below expectations (≤3.2%)
Inflation cooling confirmed. The "weak employment" logic of nonfarm regains dominance.
September rate hike expectations will be completely crushed. The dollar weakens, risk assets celebrate.
BTC is currently fluctuating between $63,500-$64,000—if CPI cools more than expected, $66,000 to $69,000 is not a dream.
Scenario 2: CPI meets expectations (3.4%)
What the market fears most is not bad news, but no surprises.
"Buy the rumor, sell the fact"—data meets expectations, short-term spike, then back to business.
Volatility. Continued volatility.
Scenario 3: CPI above expectations (≥3.6%)
This is the harshest scenario.
Inflation not only didn’t cool, it rebounded. Weak employment? Irrelevant. Inflation is the biggest word in the Fed’s eyes.
Rate hike expectations jump from 48% to 68%, 78%.
Dollar strengthens, BTC under pressure. Whether the $63,000 support holds is a question.
To be blunt—
Nonfarm has already sketched a "rate hike probability falling from a high" for the market, but CPI is the final coloring brush.
Tonight there are only two directions: either inflation backs up employment, or employment takes the blame for inflation. Bitcoin has been trading sideways between $62,000 and $66,000 for weeks, ETF inflows and institutional selling just offset each other, neither pushing the price.
The whole market is holding its breath waiting for tonight’s verdict.
There will be sharp spikes around the CPI release tonight.
The volatility at the moment the data comes out does not represent the direction. The real direction will appear 1-2 hours after the data release, when institutions finish pricing and position adjustments.
Don’t chase the first 15-minute candlestick for buying or selling.
Wait for the market to digest the sentiment, then act.
The employment market gave the Fed a stepping stone—
but will inflation pull that step away?
8:30, all will be revealed.Currently, $PLTR is at the critical zone of a short squeeze bottom game and high valuation correction. The core conflict lies in the game between a high-momentum breakout driven by macro sentiment and shorts suppressing the price through high valuation.
The South Korean KOSPI index triggered a 5% intraday circuit breaker and touched a high of 6613 points, confirming that global risk appetite is spreading to high-momentum assets. After the short-selling pressure and the clearing of 10x profit-taking chips, $PLTR's high-level structure has not been unilaterally broken.
The first variable driving the price structure evolution is the passive buying triggered by the short squeeze, and the second variable is the premium chase by macro funds for high Beta tech stocks. After the extreme bearish expectation of below $1 at the low was disproved by the market, the short covering demand forms the current price bottom support line.
The trigger condition for the bullish scenario is that the daily closing price remains above the high-level consolidation zone, driving the valuation multiples to continue rising with momentum. The variable to watch is the speed of short position covering when breaking through key resistance. If passive buying continues to increase, the price will extend to the upper limit of the historical chip concentration area; this scenario fails if turnover rate shrinks abnormally.
The trigger condition for the bearish scenario is that buying momentum exhausts under high valuation pressure, with volume breaking below the previous chip accumulation point. The variable to watch is macro liquidity tightening or concentrated profit-taking. If selling pressure breaks key support, the price will return to the valuation repair channel; this scenario fails if forced short covering triggers a second buying rally.
The core signal of scenario failure is a rapid cooling of macro risk appetite represented by the KOSPI index at 6613 points, or $PLTR breaking below the previous chip concentration support. Once the structure fails, it indicates momentum-driven forces can no longer absorb valuation premiums, and the market will shift to a liquidity-driven downward clearing.
In the next 7 days, focus on observing $PLTR's short covering rhythm in the key resistance range and whether the macro risk appetite index can maintain the high range after the 5% circuit breaker rally.
#CLARITY延期，SEC拟推进监管规则补位 #海力士推进NAND扩产，存储供给预期上升 Gold’s move above $4,400 is not just a momentum story. With $4,448.80/oz reached on Aug 11 and the metal up more than 8% this month, the more revealing signal may be whether demand holds after July U.S. CPI resets expectations for the dollar and real yields.
The Abraxas-linked movement of roughly 25,400 XAUT, worth about $110M, adds an onchain dimension, but transfers alone do not prove fresh buying. If haven demand and central-bank support persist while macro pressure stays favorable, strength could broaden; if CPI reverses those conditions, positioning may matter more than the headline high. Not advice, just analysis.
#Gold4400HavenBid1. The super surge phase in the first half of the year (January-June): The opening price at the beginning of the year was only $288, fueled by massive storage demand for AI data centers and global NAND flash capacity shortages, leading to a frenzy of speculative speculation; It has been steadily rising, reaching a historic high of $2,354.39 on June 23, with a maximum half-year gain of 717% and an overall year-to-date increase of over 1100%, topping the S&P 500 annual gainer list and becoming the core leading stock in this AI storage bull market. 2. Recent cliff-like flash drops (July-August, core situation) After the positive financial reports were realized, the market experienced a sharp pullback with "all the good news being exhausted." In just a month and a half, the stock price fell from a high of $2,354 to $1,238, a maximum drawdown of 47%, nearly halved. During the same period, the entire storage sector collapsed collectively: Western Digital pulled down 45%, Micron and SK Hynix dropped about 30%, representing a comprehensive sector valuation correction rather than individual stock negative news. 3. The relationship between financial reports, capital flow, and price fluctuations 1. Fundamental price support: Released Q4 2026 report in early August, with explosive earnings, quarterly revenue of $8.965 billion, a year-on-year surge of 372%; Gross margin soared to 84.6%, setting a new record in the global flash memory industry; At the same time, it announced a $14 billion large-scale stock buyback plan, with fundamental data perfectly exceeding expectations. 2. Core reason for the decline: The stock price had already overloaded earnings expectations in advance, and before the earnings report was released, the surge had already priced in high profits; After the official financial report was released, the funds were cashed out and exited,The Asian tech sector triggered programmatic buy-in circuit breakers due to a surge, with momentum funds accelerating their concentration on high-valuation targets. Short positions are under pressure from market buying, with $PLTR becoming the core of sentiment and fundamental repricing between bulls and bears. If tech stock sentiment continues, short covering will further boost the short-term trend; if macro liquidity tightens, the squeeze retreat will lead to price consolidation and oscillation. This momentum-driven valuation game hinges on whether subsequent funds can maintain follow-up. The next focus is on the high-level trading volume of the US stock market and the capital flow in the tech sector.
#今晚CPI公布，9月加息定价会改写吗？ #黄金站上4400美元，避险需求升温Price ratio hides signals! The BTC/ETH ratio continues to rise, and funds are making choices
📊 Cross-market capital observation | The root cause of the strength divergence between the two major mainstream coins in a volatile market
Recently, many traders have noticed that even when the overall market moves sideways, BTC continues to strengthen relative to ETH, and the BTC/ETH price ratio steadily rises. This indicator reflects institutional capital's true preference far better than daily price fluctuations.
First, clarify the underlying logic:
When overall market uncertainty rises and capital seeks defensive attributes, funds prioritize flowing into $BTC. Institutions' pricing logic for BTC is simple enough: a digital alternative reserve asset, continuously supported by spot ETFs for long-term capital, with a clear narrative and relatively fewer regulatory disputes, making it suitable as a base position.
In contrast, $ETH needs to meet two conditions to enter a strong market: a comprehensive recovery in market risk appetite + incremental funds willing to bet on the ecosystem's long-term narrative. Currently, there is a hard-to-avoid pain point: the US spot ETH ETF does not support native staking yields, directly weakening its appeal to conservative asset managers. Under equal risk, some long-term funds temporarily pause ETH allocations.
Combining the perspective of tomorrow's CPI forecast:
✅ If CPI is lower than expected, rate cut expectations rise: overall risk assets recover, short-term ETH has greater elasticity, and there is an opportunity to repair the price ratio;
❌ If inflation data exceeds expectations: funds continue to embrace defensive assets, BTC shows stronger resistance to decline, and the ETH price ratio is likely to remain under pressure.
Reference to the US stock market direction:
$COIN, crypto mining companies, and BTC correlation continue to rise; if tech growth stocks and AI computing sectors collectively strengthen, it indicates improved market risk sentiment, which will benefit ETH recovery.
Many people easily fall into the misconception of judging price movements solely based on fundamentals. In the short term, capital's risk preference priority outweighs long-term narratives. After the CPI release, continuously tracking the BTC/ETH price ratio can be used to judge the market style for the upcoming period #海力士推进NAND扩产，存储供给预期上升
SK Hynix has restarted its Dalian NAND second factory, which had been shut down for 4 years, adding a monthly capacity of 50,000 wafers and increasing total capacity by 50% — the other side of the AI computing power story is that the storage cycle is reaching the "expansion equals peak expectation" phase.
Today, Korean media and Wall Street Journal simultaneously leaked information: SK Hynix's Solidigm is restarting the second NAND factory in Dalian, with equipment relocation as early as November 2026, mass production ramp-up in the first half of 2027, adding about 50,000 wafers per month. Combined with the existing 100,000 wafers/month from the first factory, the total NAND capacity at the Dalian base will increase by about 50%. Meanwhile, in Cheongju M17, another 19.1 trillion KRW (13.8 billion USD) is being invested to push beyond 300 layers for high-end products, while Dalian will produce mature 100-layer Intel old floating gate wafers, dedicated to AI data center eSSD.
On the surface, this is semiconductor news, but translated for the crypto community, it has three layers:
① The AI computing power narrative is confirmed by real orders — Meta/Microsoft/Google have locked capacity with long-term contracts through 2029, NAND prices have surged nearly 10 times in a year, indicating "AI infrastructure is not just a PPT presentation," and the Nasdaq risk appetite behind BTC/ETH has a real anchor.
② But "giant expansion" signals the mid-cycle — the storage chain’s rule is that price rises rely on expectations, and peaks also rely on expectations. Korean brokers have already started to downgrade target prices for Hynix/Samsung, the market is beginning to price in supply easing in 2027, and once tech stock momentum fades, BTC’s macro Beta will be dragged down.
③ No short-term dump — the new wafers will only flow out in 2027, and the second half of 2026 will still be tight; plus, Dalian produces mature mid-layer eSSD, not touching HBM or consumer-grade USB drives, so it doesn’t directly compete with crypto miners or GPUs. However, if AI server capex is restrained due to storage cost pass-through, the expectations for computing power coins (RNDR, TAO, FIL storage types) will be discounted.
Key observation lines:
• Watch NAND contract prices in August–September to see if the price rise stops → this will determine if AI hardware costs can pass through to the crypto computing power network
• Watch Dalian second factory yield in Q1 2027 → real ramp-up means storage cycle reversal, false delay means AI shortages continue to support valuations
• Currently, BTC at the 64,000 level + Hynix expansion essentially represent a tug-of-war between "AI confirmation" and "cycle peak"#今晚CPI公布，9月加息定价会改写吗？
Tonight at 8:30 PM, the US July CPI will be released. $BTC has been stuck around 63,600 for two weeks, with volatility crushed to the floor. This data is the hand that pulls the plug.
A single CPI release can rewrite the short-term chips for September rate hike pricing, but it cannot change the mid-term logic.
Currently, CME shows a 51% chance of a rate hike, a 50-50 split; tonight will set the direction.
Script breakdown: Core month-on-month ≤0.1%, year-on-year below 3.2% → rate hike pricing collapses, BTC surges to 66,000-67,000;
Meets expectations → continues to hover between 63,000-66,000; core month-on-month ≥0.3% → rate hike probability jumps above 60%
Negative non-farm payrolls, falling oil prices, and gold diverting funds are the real climate; CPI is just the weather. If the weekly close stays above 61,000, core positions remain unchanged, waiting for Jackson Hole and the September FOMC decision.You are right, the current market is just funds rotating within a limited range.
BTC is consolidating around $63,000, ETH is holding firm at $1,800. In this narrow volatility, funds will not launch a full-scale attack but will flow to the most certain places.
CeFi rose nearly 2% today, BNB alone surged over 3%. This is not a sector rotation but a risk aversion move—funds are withdrawing from the continuously bleeding NFT sector (down over 6%), Layer2 (down 1.7%), and weak DeFi, reallocating to CeFi with better liquidity and stronger narratives, as well as a few strong coins.
LINK’s 4% rise against the trend couldn’t lift the overall market, indicating extreme fragmentation within altcoins and a serious lack of momentum chasing. This rebound is more of a brief pulse in a zero-sum game rather than a trend reversal.
Next, focus on two key indicators:
· Whether BTC can break out with volume above $63,000 and ETH can continue its rebound to open up space—only if these two strengthen will funds dare to spread to altcoins;
· Otherwise, chasing those suddenly pumped small-cap coins now is likely still a standby market.
No incremental funds have entered; everything is just a rebound, not a reversal bet. Spot ETF funds continue to diverge, BTC selling pressure remains, this bottom still needs to be tested.$BTC
From the latest Profit/Loss supply structure view:
(1) BTC has already entered the bottom structure observation area commonly seen in the late stage of historical bear markets.
(2) Around June 30, 2026, at 57.8K, a phased bottom (secondary bear bottom) may have formed, and it might even become the bear bottom for this cycle.
(3) But the appearance of a bottom area ≠ the bear market has ended. The market still needs time to complete chip redistribution and trend confirmation.
It should be noted that some classic on-chain extreme bottom indicators have not yet fully triggered, such as LTH, CVDD, MVRV, NUPL, etc. For this round of BTC, first look at the speed and tone, not just the popularity ranking.
OKX Onchain OS recorded 98 mentions of BTC in one hour at 08:00 on August 12, including 93 from X and 5 from news.
Compared to the 24-hour hourly average, this round's speed is 1.37 times faster, classified as "significantly accelerated"; the tone is 21% bullish and 31% bearish. There's no need to force these two lines into the same conclusion: popularity answers how many people are talking, tone answers which side the text leans toward, and neither can directly replace transaction volume and capital flow.
If in the next round the speed, news sources, and actual market transactions continue together, then increase confidence in the judgment; if it quickly returns to the average, this change is more like short-term noise. In July, you asked me if BTC could be bottomed out; in August, you asked if gold could be chased higher.
What were you doing at the beginning of July?
Bitcoin dropped to $58,000, the panic index was 24, and AHR999 fell to 0.32.
The screen was full of the words "bottom fishing."
One month later.
Gold stood above $4,400, rising more than 8% this month, with an intraday high of $4,435.25 on August 11. COMEX gold futures rose over 7% in a single week. Tens of billions of dollars flowed into gold ETFs.
The same world, the same narrative of "fighting fiat currency depreciation."
One is trembling at $58,000, the other soaring at $4,400.
Tell me, does this make sense?
Let's look at Bitcoin first.
It rebounded from $58,000 to $65,000 in July, then what?
Nothing.
On August 10, Bitcoin was at $64,992, up 3.8% over 7 days. On August 12, it fell back near $63,700. How many times has the $65,000 barrier been tested back and forth? It just can't break through.
Why?
Because the Federal Reserve's rate hike expectations are weighing it down.
Bitcoin is a non-interest-bearing asset. The higher the interest rate, the higher the opportunity cost of holding it. Institutional channels in the U.S. stock market continue to sell—after the launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs, institutional funds have become the dominant force in marginal pricing. And the current institutional stance is clear: in a high interest rate environment, buy gold first, not crypto.
In short: BTC is currently priced not on "rate cut expectations," but on "risk appetite." Without risk appetite rising, it won't rise.
Now let's look at gold.
On August 7, U.S. nonfarm payroll data was released—employment increased by only 23,000, far below the market expectation of 85,000. Average hourly earnings rose just 0.1%, versus an expected 0.3%.
Employment collapsed, so did rate hike expectations.
The U.S. dollar index fell below the 100 mark. Real interest rates declined. Gold—this asset most sensitive to interest rates—soared accordingly.
But that's not all.
The Strait of Hormuz is still closed.
Iran's foreign minister said they are "close" to an agreement with Oman, but "this does not mean reopening." Iran's conditions include the U.S. stopping maritime blockades, lifting sanctions, and compensating for losses. The U.S. says it "100%" controls the strait.
One says "I control the situation," the other says "you haven't paid yet."
With uncertain navigation prospects, oil prices remain high, and safe-haven demand continues to flow into gold.
Add to that the ongoing global central bank gold purchases and the de-dollarization process—three overlapping logics.
If gold doesn't rise, what will?
More directly on-chain.
OnchainLens monitoring: Abraxas Capital-related wallets transferred about 25,400 XAUT in the past 3 days, worth about $110 million. The related wallet cluster holds about 137,920 XAUT, worth about $600 million.
600 million worth of gold tokens held tightly by the same institutional cluster.
Not just them. Multiple whales are massively withdrawing XAUT and PAXG from CEX. Whales who have been dormant for 3 years are starting to buy gold tokens again.
What is smart money doing?
Voting with their feet—systematically shifting from crypto assets and cash positions to on-chain gold.
So, stop saying things like "if gold rises, BTC should rise."
They have long stopped following the same script.
What is gold pricing? Rate cut expectations + geopolitical risk + de-dollarization.
What is Bitcoin pricing? Liquidity tightening + weak risk appetite.
One is positioning for the next cycle in advance, the other is still digesting the aftershocks of the previous cycle.
One last word—
In July, you asked me if BTC could be bottomed out.
In August, you asked if gold could be chased higher.
Actually, the answer is the same—
Follow the macro, not the sentiment.
Employment data, inflation data, geopolitics—these come first.
Candlestick charts come after.
Don't get the order wrong.
$BTC $XAU $XAUT #黄金站上4400美元，避险需求升温 BTW this coin, I think it's worth discussing separately.
Recently, discussions about Bitway (BTW) have started to pick up. What’s interesting about this project is that it’s not simply creating a "new public chain" or riding a popular narrative, but rather focusing on Bitcoin DeFi.
What Bitway aims to do can be simply understood as: making BTC not just sit idle in wallets, but enabling it to participate in lending, yield, cross-chain liquidity, and real-world asset financial scenarios. BTW itself handles network fees, staking, governance, and other functions. (XT.com)
Why is this direction worth paying attention to?
Because BTC is still the largest crypto asset in the market, but the financial applications in the BTC ecosystem are far less abundant than those on ETH and Solana. If more BTC enters DeFi in the future, there is indeed some room for imagination around building financial infrastructure based on BTC.
But I won’t simply be bullish on BTW.
Its biggest risk right now is not technology, but token supply.
BTW has a total supply of 10 billion tokens, with about 22% currently circulating. A large amount of tokens still need to be released according to the plan, with the final unlocking period extending all the way to 2030. The most recent unlock on August 2 released about 101.6 million BTW, equivalent to 1% of the total supply. (Tokenomics.com)
So this coin can’t be judged just by the "story the project tells."
No matter how good the project direction is, if the new circulating supply consistently exceeds new market buying demand, the coin price will still face pressure.
Conversely, if Bitway can really develop BTC lending, yield, and RWA products, forming real users and capital scale, then the logic of BTW will gradually shift from "new project hype" to "BTC financial infrastructure."
What I think is truly worth observing about BTW is not how much it can rise in the next wave, but whether it can prove one thing in the next six months to a year:
How much real BTC capital is willing to stay in its ecosystem.
If this metric can keep growing, then BTW will have the qualification to talk about a bigger valuation.
If there is only price increase without growth in capital and users, then it will ultimately just be a narrative-driven market.$OKB is now back to $94.69, just one step away from the repeatedly mentioned $95 resistance level. The battle at this position will be quite critical.
From the recent trend, $90 has gradually become the first support, while $95 is the most immediate resistance.
If it can break and hold above $95 with volume this time, the next target will be the $100 whole number level. Breaking through $100 could lead to a new price discovery phase.
Conversely, if resistance is encountered again near $95, the short-term range will likely remain between $90 and $95, possibly even retesting $90 to confirm support.
What I’m more focused on now is not the price of $94.69 itself, but whether $95 can turn from resistance into support.
There are two key points ahead: watch $95 for a breakout, watch $90 for defense!

#财报观察员：AI基建财报接力登场 The US OCC has loosened restrictions on digital asset companies applying for national bank charters, driven by three main factors:
First, after the implementation of the GENIUS Act in 2025, stablecoin issuance and digital asset custody will be officially incorporated into the federal banking framework, significantly improving regulatory clarity;
Second, leading institutions such as Circle (CRCL), Ripple, Paxos, BitGo, and Fidelity Digital Assets urgently need a "federally supervised, nationwide unified" compliant identity to escape the fragmented compliance costs of state-level licenses;
Third, institutional capital's demand for "regulated custodians" is exploding. Whoever obtains the license first can access the Fedwire clearing network and seize the trillion-dollar settlement rights.
In the short term, the licensing event is clearly bullish 📈 for compliance leaders and BTC sentiment: although BTC fell slightly by 0.74% in a single day, federal endorsement strengthens its support; COIN, as a major holder of USDC, directly benefits.
In the medium term, it tends to be volatile 📉 — MSTR has dropped 36.76% year-to-date, and COIN has fallen 34.30%, reflecting market concerns about slow realization of licensing benefits and MSTR's BTC sell-off weakening the bull narrative.
In the long term, the "banking" of infrastructure is a major trend, but the rebound of traditional banking and the details of the GENIUS Act remain unclear, meaning the sustainability of the licensing boom is still uncertain. For investors, licensed winners 📈 and highly leveraged bullish DAT concept stocks 📉 will accelerate their divergence. #今晚CPI公布，9月加息定价会改写吗？
Why does $BTC fail to rally despite billions of funds pouring in? We have to wait for tonight's CPI.
Bitcoin spot ETFs have seen net inflows of $865 million over five consecutive days, accumulating four times the mining output in the same period, yet the price remains stuck oscillating between 62,000 and 66,000.
The current pattern has reversed: ETFs keep buying, but Strategy sold 3,328 BTC in two weeks, cashing out $210 million; between 62,000 and 65,000, 1.79 million BTC are trapped as locked-in chips, so any rebound will trigger profit-taking pressure, and new funds can only passively take over.
Tonight's CPI is the key catalyst:
If inflation falls and there is no rate hike, it will be a dovish boost for the crypto market.
If inflation rises and rates increase, the dollar will appreciate, increasing selling pressure.
Don't just look at ETF flows; the real turning point is when positive news lands and an equivalent amount of funds can push BTC past 65,000-66,000, fully digesting selling pressure before the rally can start.
(This is only personal market analysis and does not constitute investment advice) Gold — $4,400, crazy again!
Gold broke through $4,450/oz intraday today, COMEX futures closed at $4,427. On Tuesday, it once surged to $4,435, the highest since June 5. The situation in the Strait of Hormuz fluctuates + the US dollar weakens + the market doubts the Fed's determination to fight inflation — these three forces push hard. CICC directly calls for continued overweight in gold. But after continuous surges, there are also many profit-taking positions; if CPI is strong, it may trigger a technical pullback.
50% oscillate between $4,350-$4,420; 30% pull back to $4,300; 20% hold above $4,420 and push to $4,450+.$XAUT $SMCI The most noteworthy aspect of this financial report is that revenue continues to grow rapidly, while gross margin has clearly recovered. However, another aspect cannot be ignored: the company still has a significant amount of working capital tied up, financial data is still preliminarily unaudited, and the board's independent review of certain export control-related transactions adds uncertainty to subsequent judgments. Let's look at the core data: AMD Micro Computer's Q4 revenue for fiscal year 2026 was $11.12 billion, compared to $5.757 billion in the same period last year, and Q3 revenue was $10.20 billion. GAAP gross margin was 17.5%, GAAP net profit was $1.178 billion, and GAAP diluted EPS was $1.62; Non-GAAP diluted EPS was $1.70. Revenue is still growing, but this quarter the market is more likely to focus on changes in gross margin. Compared to a GAAP gross margin of 9.5% in the same period last year, the 17.5% level has improved significantly. Full-year revenue continues to expand. FY2026's full-year revenue reached $39.063 billion, a 77.8% increase compared to FY2025's $21.972 billion. Full-year GAAP gross margin was 10.8%, with GAAP net profit of $2.23 billion; Non-GAAP net income was $2.511 billion, and non-GAAP diluted EPS was $3.63. Full-year profit margin remains below QBTC — 63,700 USD, whoever moves before CPI dies first
BTC current price 63,700 USD, down about 1.8% in 24 hours. After being hammered back from 65,000-65,400, it slid all the way down to 63,700. In the past 24 hours, the entire network liquidated 223 million USD, 150 million of which were long positions. Miners and Strategy's OTC selling completely offset ETF inflows. Trading volume has dropped to a three-year low, and volatility is compressed to the extreme. Tonight at 8:30 CPI — market expects year-on-year 3.4% (previous 3.5%). If higher, it will be hammered down to 62,000 or even lower; if lower, it will take off to 65,000+.
50% are grinding between 63.5k-64.5k; 30% break below 63k heading to 62k; 20% hold above 64.5k pushing to 65k+. $BTC $BTC dropped to 63,200 in the early morning, then pulled back to around 63,800.
It looks like a rebound, but 64K still hasn’t truly held.
$ETH once reached 1,885, up more than 1% today.
But if you ask whether it can reclaim 1,900, it starts to "play dead" again.
$SOL around 76 shows the same pattern.
Each coin gives you a little rebound, just enough to make you think "has it bottomed out?", then doesn’t give you enough strength to break free.
The worst part isn’t the crash.
At least with a crash, you know when to run.
This kind of market is what really tortures people:
Every day it gives you a little hope, then slowly presses that hope back down.
Looking at the whole market, attention is clearly starting to shift to $SNDK, gold, crude oil, and AI infrastructure-related assets. Recently, US stocks have been continuously supported by AI earnings and capital expenditure expectations, with the S&P 500 still at a high level, while crypto assets have not seen a corresponding volume increase. (Reuters)
This doesn’t necessarily mean money is really leaving the crypto market.
The more realistic situation is—the mainstream coins currently don’t offer odds that encourage funds to aggressively chase gains.
So many people verbally shout "bottom fishing",
but in reality, they don’t even dare to increase their positions.
The money hasn’t disappeared.
It just temporarily doesn’t want to buy your $BTC, $ETH, $SOL.
What’s truly worth being cautious about isn’t how much it’s fallen,
but that the rebounds increasingly feel like bull traps, while funds are increasingly reluctant to chase prices.
