#BTC现货ETF连续6日吸金超28亿美元
#美债长端利率持续攀升，融资压力升温
The Federal Reserve tightens monetary policy again, but Bitcoin refuses to fall according to the script — this itself is a signal worth analyzing
BTC: 87,000 not held, 85,000 wavering
Last night BTC once approached 87,200, but it couldn’t truly hold the 87,000 threshold and was immediately pushed back below 85,000. This is not an ordinary pullback, but a clear rejection after the bulls’ failed attempt. Currently, the price is tugging back and forth near 85,000, with 84,300 as the last decent short-term buffer below. Once this is lost, 83,000 and even 81,500 may just be a matter of time.
ETH: The wick above 2,800 pierced the bulls
ETH previously touched 2,810, which now looks more like a bull trap. The long upper shadow above 2,800 is not a sign of a breakout but a wound for those chasing highs. The current price is 2,670, just a step away from the 2,700 support. If it breaks below 2,700 with volume, the 2,500 area below lacks dense trading support, and the drop could be faster than expected.
The current survival logic
The market always has opportunities, but opportunities are only for those still at the table. At this point, the margin for error is higher for shorting than for going long, and the margin for error is higher for being out of the market than for shorting. Don’t use “faith” as an excuse to hold positions — catching knives too many times will eventually break your hand $BTC $ETH $ZEC $BTC $ETH BTC is consolidating around 84000, and this morning there’s another US-Iran news update. Can we still go long today?
BTC has really been testing patience these past few days.
It’s been oscillating between 83000 and 85000; yesterday it surged to 85224 but was pushed back down, now still near 84000.
There’s no clear direction yet, and this morning we saw this news:
According to The Wall Street Journal citing US officials, Trump rejected Iran’s proposed seven-day ceasefire plan and expects to resume bombings after the US midterm elections.
Why should we pay attention to this?
Because earlier the market was trading on expectations that US-Iran negotiations might make progress and that the Strait of Hormuz could reopen. Now if negotiation expectations cool down again, the market will have to reconsider oil prices and geopolitical risk.
If oil prices continue to face upward pressure, it could affect inflation, interest rate expectations, and risk asset sentiment.
So the impact of this news on BTC, I’m more focused on short-term volatility and capital flight to safety, rather than simply interpreting it as a definite rise or fall. Back to the chart. At the current 84000 level, I still don’t want to go heavy long directly.
The 1-hour moving averages are basically intertwined, and MACD shows no clear upward momentum. To put it plainly, the bulls haven’t reclaimed 85000 yet, and the bears haven’t truly broken below 83000.
My judgment today is simple:
If 83000 holds, continue to watch for a range rebound to 85200;
#BTC现货ETF连续6日吸金超28亿美元 Ethereum's hourly chart is still in a bearish structure, with moving average resistance unresolved. The MACD's low-level convergence only indicates a slowing down of the downtrend, not a reversal. The ETH obtained from the Bitget hack adds potential selling pressure above, and the market's willingness to absorb it is weak, making a rebound difficult to achieve quickly.
Between 2650 and 2670 lies a large accumulation of long liquidation chips, while 2720 to 2750 is the short liquidation pressure zone. Short-term liquidity is thin, so any spikes are just shakeouts. I just finished delivering food on the sixth floor of an old building, and debt collection texts keep buzzing nonstop. A glance at the order book shows sparse orders.
At the current price near 2690, chasing longs or shorts is not cost-effective. Wait for a rebound to 2720-2735 to short, with a stop loss at 2762 and take profit initially at 2670; if that breaks, look to 2650. If the price first drops to around 2650 without breaking volume, a pullback is likely, but if it can't reach 2720, bears still control the market. Don't go all in; at this level, a spike can easily trigger a chain reaction. Wait for a right-side signal before leveraging up to make a move.

@OKX星球 A volatile market might be suitable for looking for opportunities to build positions in altcoins.
My personal view (which is subjective and not necessarily correct) is:
First, overall, I remain cautious about the volatility.
Second, altcoins are starting to pick up but will fluctuate along with BTC.
Third, altcoins still carry risks. Currently, the proportion of altcoins has reached a relatively high level for a non-bull market environment, roughly around the highs seen in May 2025, January, February, and June 2026. (In the second half of 2025, because it is a four-year cycle bull market environment, this proportion was higher.)
So going forward, if BTC breaks the support level, be cautious of altcoin pullbacks.
Fourth, in a volatile market, it might be suitable to look for opportunities to build positions.
If there is a pullback, I do not consider it a bear market environment, so I will choose to buy altcoins I favor.
Currently, besides continuously holding platform coins and $DBR (which has already surged), I have built positions in $LINEA (moderate rise) and bought some $WLD (with larger volatility). I plan to hold DBR and LINEA long-term and continue buying on pullbacks, while looking for opportunities to sell WLD. (This is my personal real trading to prevent anyone from accusing me of hindsight; this does not constitute investment advice.)
Additionally, strategies like LP and grid trading might also be more suitable for a volatile market.LTC surged 22% in two days, and chasing at this position no longer offers good value
First, look at today's candlestick; the 60-period range has already reached 75, current price is 72.6
Yesterday's daily candle was a big bullish one, jumping directly from 59.48 to 73.77, with a volume of 820,000, more than four times the previous day
Today's 4-hour chart didn't keep up; volume dropped from 56,000 to 45,000, with the latest candle only 12,000
A typical pattern of volume expansion breakout followed by volume contraction as it steps up
Funding rate is negative, -0.0021%, shorts are paying fees, but this doesn't mean shorts will give up
Support levels to watch are two: 71 on the 4-hour chart, and 69 on the daily chart
As long as these two levels hold, this wave remains on the stage
Once 69 breaks, it will return to the breakout starting point near 59 for a reshuffle
So my judgment is that chasing longs now is poor value; waiting for a pullback to 71 or 69 to confirm support is more cost-effective
If it breaks below 69, don't get your hopes up; that's a failed breakout shakeout structure
$LTC $BTC #Litecoin #VolumePriceBank failures can open trading, but no one is really betting on them failing
On Polymarket, there is a batch of contracts betting on whether several major U.S. banks will fail.
Wells Fargo, JPMorgan Chase, and Bank of America are all on the list.
Where does this money come from: contracts betting on failure by the end of the year, with a total trading volume of about $76,000.
How is this number calculated: divided among several big banks, less than $20,000 per bank.
What is this price level: in the past, no one cared about this kind of market because it was too small.
Now the FDIC and members of Congress have started to watch it, indicating that what they are monitoring is not the money, but the market itself.
Trading volume hasn't changed, but the audience has.
The market is too small to move any single bank, but its quotes will be screenshotted and spread.
#美债长端利率持续攀升，融资压力升温
#高利率下，黄金还能走多远？ #稳定币新规推进，支付结算加速落地 $HYPE A sincere piece of advice to everyone: never lock yourself into the world of trading. The recent volatile market for $ETH is very unsuitable for opening positions. But due to having nothing to do during the holiday, I impulsively opened a position and was emotionally tossed around by the market, suffering a 20-point drawdown. Impulsiveness is the devil; you must anchor your life to yourself. The market is always there, but youth is not.Long-term bond yields hit new highs, crypto market faces higher valuation thresholds
On September 25, the US 30-year Treasury yield intraday reached 5.5016%, the highest since 2004; the 10-year yield once rose to 5.2251%, near levels not seen since 2007.
This upward move is not only due to the Federal Reserve raising interest rates again.
Rising oil prices and inflation expectations, the resilience of the US economy, and continued government bond issuance collectively require investors to receive higher compensation for holding long-term bonds.
Japan's 30-year government bond yield is also above 4%, indicating that long-end repricing has spread globally.
The real economy sector first under pressure is real estate.
According to Freddie Mac data, the US 30-year fixed mortgage rate has risen to 7.03%, increasing monthly payments for homebuyers, compressing financing for developers and home sales; on the corporate side, new debt interest costs are rising, with greater pressure on low-rated companies and growth enterprises reliant on external financing.
As of now, OKX's BTC is about $84,027, down 0.23% in 24 hours, not experiencing a runaway decline alongside yields; recent ETF inflows continue to absorb spot sell-offs.
However, the longer the risk-free yield stays above 5%, the higher the opportunity cost of holding crypto.
Before the Federal Reserve meeting on October 26-27, watch whether oil prices, inflation, and the 10-year yield can retreat.
If long-term bonds continue to be sold off, ETF buying needs to be stronger to maintain $BTC's current resilience.
#美债长端利率持续攀升，融资压力升温 Looking at the yellow line segment indicated by the red arrow, the broad sector is about to enter a 1:1 pullback, with the target for this pullback near 80,629. Currently, the bar is consolidating and oscillating between 85,213-83,217, and has repeatedly challenged the 85,213 box midline, but has not passed it, remaining below the midline; Staying below the midline indicates that the current hourly bullish trend has returned to a weak range. To rise further, it must return above the 85,213 midline to have a chance to rebound and move upward to 86,049-87,368; If it cannot return above 85,213, maintaining consolidation between 85,213 and 83,217 without expanding the losses is already very good. Once the pullback breaks below the lower boundary of the 83217 box and the support at 81381, the 1:1 pullback target will be reached. If you want to go long today, you can only wait for the Bitcoin to break below the support between 83217-82800 on pullback, then buy long and buy on the rebound. The highest is near 85213, and you don't need to break it further. Either sell high and buy low around 83217-85213, or stop loss if it breaks below it; otherwise, there are no trading opportunities from the current market. If the price breaks through 84153 with volume, aggressively chase the right side; if 83644 breaks below volume and rebounds, it cannot recover and chase short on the right. Be good at stopping losses. Hourly breakout on Bitcoin holding above 84153 to 85213-86049 is useless. 4 hoursWhy is only $QI worth highlighting when the entire sector is rising?
The answer lies in relative strength. Among small-cap active assets, $ONDO rose only +1.89% in 24h, with its price stuck below MA20, Bollinger Bands width about 5%, and 30 K-line amplitude at 11.85%, representing a typical low-volatility sideways pattern; $SPK rose 14.93%, which seems strong, but its trading volume is only 5.7M USDT, MA5 just crossed above MA20, RSI at 63.6 is nearing the overbought zone, and volume support is insufficient. Meanwhile, $QI surged +33.46% in a single day, with a trading volume of 27.3M USDT, nearly 5 times that of $SPK, and 30 K-line amplitude at 92.89%, showing significantly higher volatility and capital participation.
From a technical perspective, the current price of 0.003881 is just below MA20 at 0.0038852, MA5 at 0.0037518 has started to tilt upward, indicating a pre-breakout consolidation structure; RSI at 59.2 still has room before overbought, MACD histogram at -8.364e-05 remains negative, suggesting this rally has not yet been fully confirmed by indicators, which provides a window for a pullback to enter long positions. The upper Bollinger Band at 0.00458296 is the first target above, and the lower band at 0.00318744 serves as the defensive bottom line for this rally.Ethereum has recently shown a clear rebound, but there is one detail short-term traders should not overlook 👀: institutional capital changes are accelerating. In the week ending mid-September, the US spot ETH ETF ended several weeks of net inflows, with about $130 million in net outflows in a single week. But what is truly worth watching is that 👉 while ETF funds have flowed out, ETH has not simultaneously broken below its key structure. On the contrary, prices remain relatively strong, indicating that market support is still strong. Capital flows and price performance have diverged, so the focus now is on whether ETH can continue to hold the current support #DailyOrbit #ETH #Ethereum #ETF🎯Key Price Levels to Watch
- Strong Support: 2665 (short-term support), Strong Bottom Line: 2626 (second buy lifeline)
- First Resistance: 2742, Second Resistance: 2806
- Stop Loss Reference: After the second buy forms, if it effectively breaks below 2626, exit immediately
📌Watchlist Mnemonic
Not breaking the previous low is the premise, verified by 5-minute bullish divergence;
Standing firm at the pivot confirms it, breaking the bottom line invalidates the second buy.
Supplement: How to Respond to a Failed Second Buy
If a pullback directly breaks through 2626:
It means the 30-minute downtrend segment continues to extend. At this time, wait for the new downtrend segment to complete + new bullish divergence, then look for a new first buy opportunity. Do not bottom fish prematurely.
5-minute bullish divergence quick identification card (ETH short-term watchlist)
Technical review only, not trading advice, contracts carry high risk
✔Core Definition
5-minute bullish divergence: Price makes a new low, but MACD's DIF/green bars do not make a new low, indicating a weakening downtrend momentum. This is a small-scale bottoming signal used to verify the 30-minute second buy.
✅Three Steps to Identify at a Glance
1. Look at the candlesticks: The 5-minute chart shows a downward move, candlesticks make a recent new low
2. Look at MACD: Compare with the previous downtrend
- Price makes a new low, MACD green bars are shorter than the previous wave
- DIF value is not lower than the previous low
3. Confirm the signal: After bullish divergence, red bars enlarge, golden cross appears, and candlesticks stand above the 5-minute EMA30, then the divergence is effective. This weekend isn't a major rally, but there's one macro data point worth discussing: the yield on the US 30-year Treasury bond broke through 5.5%, reaching its highest level since 2004. It's been 22 years. The last time it was this high was when George W. Bush had just taken office and Bitcoin hadn't been born yet. Logically, with such a high risk-free rate, risk assets should crash. But what about BTC? It was trending around $84,000, neither crashing nor rising. Why? Here's a breakdown for you. 01 Let's look at a shocking figure: the 30-year US Treasury yield breaks 5.5%. Here's today's macro data: the 30-year US Treasury yield broke through 5.5%, hitting a new high since 2004; Consumer inflation expectations: A University of Michigan survey shows inflation expectations for the coming year rose from 4.0% to 4.6%; Consumer confidence: Americans' personal financial assessment dropped by about 10%, with short-term business expectations worsening; Federal Reserve official Hamack: The rise in U.S. Treasury yields is not because the market lost confidence in inflation, but driven by real interest rates, economic outlook, and fiscal policy; The Fed needs to maintain restrictive policies. To translate: The economy looks okay, but Americans feel life is getting harder and prices are expected to rise over the next year. The Fed wants to cut rates? No way. More subtle is Hamack's remark. He said the rise in U.S. Treasury yields is not because confidence in inflation has collapsed, but because "fiscal policy and competition for funds" are driving the rise. To put it bluntly: the U.S. government has issued too much debt and pushed up interest rates. This is not an economic issue, but a fiscal issue. 02 But BBrothers, did you take a shot?
Don’t shout bull just yet.

First, let's talk about the news.
When the US and Iran declared a ceasefire, Bitcoin surged from 72K straight up to 87K, a 13% jump in four days. But look at now — oil prices are still hovering around $100, and although US Treasury yields have fallen back, they remain high. The ceasefire is a "mutual pause," not a peace agreement. No one knows what will happen after the two-week period ends. Geopolitical risk premium has dropped but not disappeared; it could come back at any time.
Now, looking at the capital side. $BTC broke through the 84,000-85,000 zone, a dense chip area held by long-term holders. Shorts were liquidated over $1 billion, with $840 million being short positions. This rally is essentially a short squeeze — driven by mechanics, not a fundamental shift. Even GSR’s co-founder said: "The risk is that this might be a macro liquidity trade disguised as crypto."
$BTC dominance has already soared to 60.66%, while the altcoin season index is only 37; funds haven’t flowed into altcoins at all. The so-called rotation is currently just a PowerPoint presentation.
---
$BTC at 84298.
RSI6 at 91, dangerously hot. Bollinger upper band looks like a pot lid, MACD just turned red, like the last train light.
85500 is the gate, 82800 is the net. The 84000 level is critical — it was the previous breakout point. If this rally is a structural shift rather than a short squeeze, it should now become the bottom. But with RSI6 hitting 91, there’s really little room left for short-term correction.
Chasing longs? Catching a flying knife barehanded.
---
$ETH at 2670.
RSI6 at 83.88, also burning hands. Resistance at 2710, support at 2620.
This morning, some brothers tried longs in the 2640-2670 range, pulling up to 2710 for about 40-70 points profit. But that’s about it. Whether 2700 can hold is the first hurdle ahead; if it doesn’t, the script of slow upward grind and sharp downward sprint will repeat. $ETH/$BTC is stuck around 0.031; only seeing 0.040 can we say rotation has truly arrived. For now? Still far off.
---
$ZEC at 1521.
Up 1.60%. RSI6 at 88. Bounced from the pit bottom, nice curve.
But this level is interesting — it surged to 1582 in the morning but was pushed back, currently testing support at 1550. On-chain data is even more worth pondering: long positions dropped from 486 million U to 384 million U, nearly 100 million gone in less than one cycle. Longs’ profit ratio crashed from 93% to 66%.
Smart money is running. Overbought zone dancing tango; when the music stops, the first to twist an ankle.
Resistance at 1626, support at 1455.
---
RSI for all three coins is above 83. Little room left for correction.
Lacking new inflows, lacking catalysts. Like a flat soda, too sweet and cloying.
If $BTC can’t reclaim 85500, rotation is just a PowerPoint. Don’t chase. Don’t mistake a pulse for a trend.
Second dip is for catching the impatient.
😇

#BTC冲高回落，市场轮动开始了吗？
#美伊恢复接触，风险溢价会降吗？
#交易之声：你的经验值得被听到 On the same day, the finance ministers of the US and Japan both said the yen should appreciate. Such synchronized messaging in the foreign exchange market is never a coincidence. US Treasury Secretary Bessent and Japanese Finance Minister Katayama spoke openly, with one side saying the yen's strength reflects Japan's economic confidence. The Japanese Ministry of Finance's wording was almost identical, with both sides reiterating concerns that the yen is undervalued. Historically, when both sides align their messaging like this, it usually happens before real action is taken—the script is to first send signals before making a move. The yen is the cheapest money globally, the fuel warehouse for carry trades. If it gets ignited and rises, the liquidity withdrawn from unwinding positions will ripple through the stock and crypto markets' leverage.
More specifically, although money hasn't truly become more expensive yet, the attitudes in the two markets have already diverged. The gold perpetual swap rate has cooled down to 0.06%, gold prices are stuck at 4290, neither rising nor falling, and truly risk-averse money is actually not paying the toll. On the crypto side, ETH's rate is 0.52%, SOL 0.44%, BTC 0.2%, with SOL pulling up 4.7 points along the trend. Bulls are chasing while paying fees without hesitation; greed is leveraging up, fear is exiting, and the same market is going its own way.
US stocks closed on Friday without disappointment, with the S&P up 0.5% and the Dow up 0.9%. Even Michigan consumer confidence dropping to a four-month low didn't stop the rally. Falling oil prices gave the market a boost, and despite verbal concerns, wallets are still voting with their money. What really needs watching is whether the yen will respond when Tokyo opens on Monday, whether the pricing for the October rate hike will be increased—Monday will reveal the answer. $ARB
Breaking down the whale positions, a total of 336 whales are involved in the on-exchange game, with a nominal long-short ratio of 71.82%, and the total short position size surpasses the longs. The 174 long whales have an average entry price of 0.2049, with an unrealized profit of about 1.14 million USD, and a profit ratio of 62.06%; 162 short whales have an average entry price of 0.1885, currently with unrealized losses exceeding 3 million USD, and nearly half of the short accounts are in a loss position.
This is a very realistic game scenario: the short positions are larger in size, but most shorts are trapped; although the long positions are smaller in size, most accounts remain profitable. The funding rate is negative, the market overall tends to lean short, but with the price continuously rising, the short squeeze risk is accumulating. Do not be misled by the generally bearish market sentiment.
Offensive level: 0.2310. Only by holding above this level is there momentum to challenge the previous high resistance at 0.2555.
Defensive level: 0.2070. A decisive break below this level will invalidate the current upward momentum.
It is not suitable to chase the price directly. Longs should prioritize waiting for a pullback to the defense zone before reassessing; when shorting in the game, be sure to set strict stop losses and beware of the short squeeze continuing to intensify. In crypto, do not blindly follow the majority opinion; collective consensus expectations are often easily proven wrong by the market.ETH 30-Minute Second Buy Chan Theory Recognition Checklist (For Direct Monitoring)
Premise: This checklist is based solely on technical chart analysis and does not constitute trading advice; contract trading carries significant risk
✅ Pre-conditions (all must be met)
1. A clear low point 【2626.07】 has been established in the prior 30-minute downtrend segment
2. A secondary level (5-minute) has completed a rebound cycle, forming the first small consolidation zone
3. Price retests but does not break below the previous low 2626.07 (not making a new low is key)
✅ Confirmation step sequence
1. During the retest: observe the 5-minute chart for a downward retracement move
2. In this 5-minute decline, MACD shows bullish divergence (price makes a new low, but MACD green bars shorten and DIF does not make a new low)
3. After the 5-minute bullish divergence, volume increases as price pulls back and reclaims the upper boundary of the last 5-minute consolidation zone
4. At this point, the 30-minute second buy is officially formed, and a new upward 30-minute move begins
❌ Exclude false second buys (if any of the following occur, it is not a second buy)
1. Retest breaks below 2626.07 → new low, downtrend continues, second buy invalid
2. No bullish divergence during 5-minute retest, price quickly breaks down
3. Only minor consolidation with weak rebound, unable to break above resistance at 2742 On-chain protocols have no central bank backing or deposit insurance; in extreme market conditions or contract vulnerabilities, the only lifeline is the money in your own account.
But in reality, most protocols distribute all profits to token holders or use them for buybacks and burns. The tokenomics look good on paper, but essentially it's users' principal betting that a black swan event won't happen.
Most CEXs have designed risk funds, but derivatives protocols, lending protocols, and others should also set aside a risk reserve fund from their profits.
Better safe than sorry!Refer to OKX spot ETH-USDT daily chart. After peaking at about $2,807.67 on September 22, it pulled back. On September 25, it surged to about $2,742.69, with a low of about $2,660.73. At 10:53 on September 26 (CST), the current price was about $2,691, still stuck in the middle of the range. In the same window, US spot Ethereum ETFs saw a five-day net inflow of about $747 million, but received about $66 million from about $270 million in a single day, with marginal momentum below a quarter of the peak. OKX's perpetual funding fee rate was about 0.0005%, with holdings dropping from about 621,000 ETH to about 592,000 ETH. In the short term, this is not a short squeeze. On September 16, the Fed raised the rate by 25 basis points to 3.75%-4.00% (previous range of 3.50%-3.75%), with about a 70% chance of another hike in October, indicating macroeconomic tightness. Upper: The daily chart closed above around $2,742.69 with increased volume confirming a pullback, then discussed a retest of $2,807.67. Below: The daily price closed below about $2,660.73 and the ETF turned negative, closer to a downside after the high-level distribution. First, watch if the sell order wall around $2,647.59 has turned into support. Focus on whether subscription will shift from slowing to negative and which of these two closing rules triggers first.$BTC 4-hour chart is very clear.
The price is stuck oscillating near the middle Bollinger Band, with resistance at 85200 repeatedly tested but failing to hold above. The highs are gradually moving lower, and the overall market strength shows the bulls are gradually weakening, which is why I am "bearish."
However, bearish ≠ immediately shorting. This is the root cause of losses for most people.
Currently, the market is in a high-level consolidation, not a clear breakdown.
The support range is at 82800‑83100, which corresponds to the lower Bollinger Band. As long as this support is not decisively broken by a high-volume bearish candle, the consolidation structure remains intact.
The current market state is a chaotic phase of bulls and bears battling.
On the macro side, US Treasury yields remain high, and rate hike expectations are rising again—these are heavy stones weighing on the market. But ETF inflows continue, so buying power has not disappeared. The tug-of-war between bulls and bears creates this back-and-forth oscillation.
Here are the key levels clearly marked:
✅ Resistance: 85200‑86200. Only by firmly reclaiming above 86200 can the bulls regain control, invalidating the bearish view.
✅ Strong support: 82800‑83100. A high-volume, effective break below here on the 4-hour chart is the confirmation signal to consider shorting.
✅ Defense level: 80500, the key foundation of this recent rally.

This is the same divergence from earlier: institutions buying while yields climb. Either ETF demand is strong enough to decouple from rate pressure, or the pressure just hasn't hit yet.

The real alarm is the synchronized surge in global long-term yields: the 30-year US Treasury yield has broken 5.5%, and Japanese government bonds have also hit multi-decade highs, indicating the complete end of the "cheap money" era. With risk-free yields so attractive, large capital naturally focuses on US Treasuries rather than the highly volatile BTC. Financing costs are transmitting to the real economy, with mortgage rates breaking 7%, and corporate profits and valuations facing a double blow.
ETF inflows into BTC have continuously slowed, showing signs of fatigue. If global long-term yields do not turn around, risk assets will face ongoing "valuation cuts" and liquidity siphoning. Short-term price swings in the crypto space can be deceiving, but the real risk lies in systemic contraction driven by macroeconomic forces. Stay cautious; cash is king. 🔥"Three Major Coins Retail Investors Watch: From 'Financial Freedom' to 'Eating Noodles in the Dark' with Just One K-Line"
This morning, I saw $BTC at 84,000 and thought: steady, new car by year-end. By noon, after seeing the Fed rate hike and soaring US bond yields, I thought: doomed, new bike by year-end. Bitcoin is really good at testing patience; on September 21, it broke through 85,000, short positions liquidated, ETFs inflowed nearly $600 million in two days; but after the rate hike landed and macro tightened, it returned to 84,000 to shake. It’s just like my fitness: signing up felt like training for the Olympics, but by day three, it felt like just getting a group photo.
Switching to $ETH at 2690. Initially expected to take off with the "upgrade + ETF + staking" trio, but ETFs sometimes inflow over $100 million in a day, sometimes outflow for three consecutive days; Glamsterdam testnet is almost ready, Besu patch released, yet technicals signal overbought. I set a target of 3000, it set a target to consolidate first. Both are trying hard, just not on the same page.
Then $SOL at 121, the most emotionally deceptive. It speeds up blocks, Alpenglow testing, meme trading volume is strong, previously recovered from 60+, monthly chart stopped falling, whales bought over 280,000 coins in such moves; but once risk appetite turns, 121 can make you feel "121 reasons to delete the app." Today it’s relatively stronger than BTC/ETH, but don’t mistake "strong for a minute" as "strong forever."
Ultimate takeaway: Don’t leverage BTC, just be patient; don’t only listen to "upgrade bull" on ETH without watching capital flow; don’t mistake meme hype for fundamentals on SOL.Lessons Learned from New DEX Coins (Part Six)
1. If the trading tax fee is visible in the wallet menu rather than the exchange, and it's above 1%, avoid it. Some fees reach 4-5%, and I even saw one with an 87.5% tax (forgot to screenshot). Don't be careless when getting trapped by such fees.
2. Coins launched on pump platforms within two to three hours often have the project team withdrawing liquidity and running away. For example, the first two in the image below couldn't be sold from early morning until afternoon. I've encountered four such cases, each losing the entire principal of 5-15u. Coins on the $PONS platform v2 are somewhat better; coins listed for over 6 hours have fewer liquidity withdrawal incidents.
3. Don't be shortsighted; once a coin doubles, be sure to withdraw your principal and let the profits run. In the past two days, I tried about 12-15 coins, with a 70% loss rate. Only 3 recovered the principal (one of which later had liquidity withdrawn and went to zero). I continue to hold the two below, and for another two, I have preserved the principal and continue holding.Ethereum $ETH surged from 2700 to 2742 but then dropped back to 2683; the volume couldn't keep up, indicating that the bulls lack genuine buying support. It looks more like a holiday liquidity-driven pump to lure buyers. Once it breaks down, 2700 will turn from support into resistance, with dense trapped positions above, causing any rebound to be crushed—this is a classic bull trap structure.
There are three layers of impact on the crypto market:
First, on the sentiment level, holiday liquidity is naturally thin, and such fake breakouts severely damage short-term confidence, easily triggering chain stop-losses and amplifying volatility.
Second, on the structural level, 2650-2660 is a key support zone below; holding it still allows for a rebound and a window to reduce positions. Once it breaks effectively, the short-term trend deteriorates, and one should no longer expect a V-shaped recovery.
Third, on the capital level, weakness in ETH often drags down altcoins, especially those relying on the ETH ecosystem narrative, increasing the risk of catch-up declines. Conversely, if BTC can hold steady and ETH stabilizes above 2650, capital may continue rotating into utility tokens with real use cases rather than returning to pure sentiment-driven speculation. Watched the order book depth for half an hour; the fake walls above and below are quite intimidating, but if someone really slammed a market order worth tens of large BTC, it would probably pierce through three layers of slippage directly.
The funding rate clings stubbornly to zero, contract open interest moves sideways, and all large spot orders are just fake traces left by canceled orders. Market makers are tightly managing risk exposure, clearly both longs and shorts are waiting for the other side to make the first move. This kind of illiquid, dry market means any order placed gets worn down by probing tiny spikes back and forth.
Only when you see real money actively eating through the order walls will there be any movement.
$TAO $RENDER $NEAR $BTC is handling higher Treasury yields better than its 24H price action might suggest. Meanwhile, $ETH is holding relatively flat, while $SOL’s stronger performance suggests capital is rotating within crypto rather than flowing out.
For now, I’d view the BTC pullback as a test of macro sensitivity rather than a sign that its resilience is fading.
Not financial advice.

Combined with the previous rounds of macro background (U.S. Treasury yields soaring, rising expectations of rate hikes), this update highlights the core contradiction in the current BTC market: tightening macro liquidity versus intense tug-of-war in institutional spot buying.
_________________________________
On one hand, inflation expectations have risen to 4.6%, the 30-year U.S. Treasury yield has broken 5.5%, the probability of rate hikes exceeds 70%, and macro headwinds continue to intensify. On the other hand, the ETF has seen net inflows exceeding $2.8 billion over 6 consecutive days, showing that institutional allocation demand remains.
But risks have emerged: BTC surged to 87,000 then fell below 84,000, and the ETF's single-day inflow has dropped from 999 million to 191 million for three consecutive days, indicating a clear marginal weakening of buying momentum. If rate hikes are implemented in October, whether ETF funds can maintain net inflows will be the "lifeline" for BTC to hold its high position. In the short term, caution is needed against liquidity-driven valuation risks under macro pressure. $SOL The 10-year yield is stuck above 5%,
The 30-year yield hits a 20-year high,
The Treasury's buybacks are just buying time.
AI suddenly changes its tune to "safety first," not out of conscience, but because high-priced computing power isn't selling,
The pile of bonds behind is going to have problems—either the government steps in to buy computing power, or prints money to rescue the insurance funds.
Both lines ultimately point to the same thing: dollar liquidity is forced to open up.
Bitcoin doesn't respond to narratives, it responds to money printing.
This round of the $BTC bull market is several times higher than the last because U.S. debt really can't be suppressed?
#BTC现货ETF连续6日吸金超28亿美元
#美债长端利率持续攀升，融资压力升温 ETF net inflows have exceeded 2.8 billion for six consecutive days, which sounds impressive, but there's a detail most people overlook. The daily inflow amount has been declining for three consecutive days, dropping from nearly 1 billion to less than 200 million. This decline slope is very steep, indicating that institutions are no longer blindly buying above 84,000 and have started to pick prices.
On the other hand, the macro environment is getting increasingly unpleasant. Inflation expectations have surged from 4.0% to 4.6%, the probability of a rate hike in October has risen above 70%, and the 30-year US Treasury yield has broken through 5.5%. All macro indicators are signaling continued hikes, but ETF funds are shouting that they want to buy, with both sides tugging the market back and forth.
This current position is not a safe buying point. ETF funds are indeed real institutional money, supporting a very solid bottom, but this bottom comes at a price. They are still buying as the market falls, indicating they are buying the dips, but if prices drop further, will they still buy? No one can guarantee that.
The biggest risk is a real rate hike in October. A 70% probability is already very high, and once it happens, the incremental ETF funds simply won't withstand the macro drain. Right now, the market relies on the momentum of ETFs, not fundamental support. The momentum will run out, but the rate hike pressure will not.
In terms of strategy, just one sentence: don't chase. Keep holding spot; short-term drops won't be significant. Don't add positions, don't open leverage to bet on direction. Wait for the FOMC decision. The market is not short of opportunities; what’s lacking is whether you still have bullets. $BTC #BTC现货ETF连续6日吸金超28亿美元 @OKX星球 $ZEC Current Market Analysis
Current price 1538, 15-minute RSI dropped to 35, slightly entering the weak zone, but the price did not directly break below 1525, indicating that the buying support around 1525-1515 is indeed strong.
The 1-hour MACD is below the zero line, and the 4-hour MACD shows a bearish divergence continuation, indicating a strong consolidation within a downtrend, not a reversal to strength.
There are two types of support:
1. Shakeout: The main force does not want to quickly break the key support, grinding within the range to shake out short-term shorts, then choosing a direction;
2. Support to unload: Holding the price at the support level, slowly distributing chips, once funds withdraw, a quick breakdown will occur.
Key price levels
✅ Support
- Short-term: 1525 (first barrier)
- Lifeline: 1514.93 (24h low, if volume breaks below, support fails, directly targeting 1480)
🚧 Resistance
- Near resistance: 1564
- Mid-level resistance: 1625
Focus points
Do not be fooled by strong support now, watch the 1514 baseline:
- Hold 1514: continue range-bound oscillation, buy high sell low;
- Volume break below 1514 + 1-hour close below: support fails, downside space opens;
- Volume stands firm above 1564: bulls regain control.
Strong support only means no immediate drop, not an imminent surge; consolidation markets are prone to false breakouts. Farside recorded that from September 21 to 24, the US spot BTC ETF was in the market for four consecutive days, totaling $2.2513 billion. But the data for the 25th isn't fully released yet, and there are still missing fund entries in the table. That $37.5 million isn't a full daily settlement, so don't take that as a conclusion. $BTC $ETH $SOL Binance BTCUSDT was about 84,025 at around 2 a.m., down 0.56% in 24 hours. These two data don't contradict each other. Fund net subscriptions and redemptions refer to the flow of funds on the ETF side, which doesn't directly prove that marginal buying has already outpaced selling at the same time. The yield on the US 10-year Treasury was 5.17% on the 25th, which can only be considered an opportunity cost background, not the sole reason for BTC pullback. Just focus on two things from here on. If ETF net inflows continue throughout the day, and spot buying and order book support are both strengthened, then the claim that "liquidity hasn't become pricing yet" doesn't hold up. Conversely, if funds flow down and spot demand doesn't pick up, this explanation becomes even stronger. Don't blindly rush in just because you see ETF inflows; the key is whether inflows can be sustained and truly flow into exchange orders. #BTC现货ETF连续6日吸金超28亿美元 #美债长端利率持续攀升, rising financing pressure #财报观察员: Costco's performance exceeds expectations, Micron takes over ETH has repeatedly fluctuated around $2,700, but trading volume has never significantly increased, so the sustainability of the rebound remains worth watching. Currently, my approach remains cautious: I have already established short positions at lower levels and gradually adjusted based on key levels, with a combined holding cost of about $2,640. Some believe short selling is not advisable in bull markets, but the market has seen rapid surges followed by pullbacks in the past. Previously, ETH briefly broke above $2,800, but BTC also failed to hold its high level and quickly pulled back, indicating some selling pressure remains above. 📌 Key Levels to Watch: • $2,700: An important short-term watershed • $2,760: Further confirmation of a strong zone • $2,800: Previous high-level resistance • Below $2,640: Further increase in pullback risk Until ETH holds above $2,700 and volume matches up, I won't rush to go long for now. There are always two possibilities in the market: first look at confirmation signals from price and volume. 👀 #ETH #Ethereum #BTC #Crypto #加密市场 #行情分析The crypto market is playing out a typical "cross-current": large-cap coins hold their ground, while volatility ignites selected altcoins.
📊 【Data Breakdown: Large Caps Sideways, Altcoins Break Out】
▶ Total Market Cap: Holding steady at $2.31 trillion, $BTC ($84K) and $ETH ($2.69K) enter a tight consolidation phase, with bulls and bears temporarily at a standstill.
▶ Macro Pressure: Macro interest rate headwinds and $15.6 billion in options expirations severely limit $BTC's short-term momentum.
▶ Capital Flow: Liquidity begins shifting toward high-beta altcoins! Narrative-driven rallies lead short-term risk appetite.
🔥 【Industry Deep Dive: Why Is Capital Rotating Now?】
Against the backdrop of institutional ETFs and treasury strategies continuously locking in BTC, the spot base of large caps is extremely solid, but short-term upward momentum is suppressed by macro rates and options settlements. Opportunistic traders on the floor, unwilling to stay idle during the large-cap sideways, rush to hype mid- and small-cap coins with independent narratives and high elasticity. This "coin selection market" is a typical capital spillover under a stock game.

#美联储重启加息，BTC为何仍有韧性？ #财报观察员：好市多业绩超预期，美光接棒 #美债长端利率持续攀升，融资压力升温 An address that has been dormant for 4 years woke up today.
4500 BTC, worth 381 million USD, transferred out in one go. The address is bc1qln, inactive for over 4 years.
The last time it was active, BTC was still under 20,000. From 20,000 to 84,000, it quadrupled, and it never sold. Today, it moved.
I don’t know if it’s selling or just moving to another wallet. But I do know one thing — someone who hasn’t moved for 4 years won’t act without reason on the day options expire and when interest rate hike expectations are at their peak.
Today, $15 billion worth of options expire. The probability of an October rate hike has reached 75%. The market just dropped from 87,000 to 84,000. At this moment, an address dormant for 4 years chooses to transfer out BTC worth 381 million USD.
Do you think they want to sell or just move it somewhere else? I don’t know. But I do know that for an address of this scale, every move is deliberate. They might not plan to do anything, just rearranging their position. Or maybe they’ve calculated that this level is worth taking some off.
When an address that hasn’t moved for 4 years starts moving, it’s usually not good news. At least it shows that even the most patient holders are beginning to reconsider their chips.
What do you think?
The above is compiled from on-chain data and does not constitute any trading advice.
$BTC $ETH ⚠️ Reminder: Virtual currency contract trading carries extremely high risk. The following is only a technical chart review based on Chan theory and does not constitute any trading advice.
ETH Chan Theory Multi-Level Joint Analysis (Weekly/Daily/4H/30min/5min)
1. Large Levels: Daily + Weekly
- Weekly: The major structure is still a consolidation after a large-scale rise, no weekly top divergence has formed, and the major bullish base remains; currently it is a pullback consolidation phase after the rise.
- Daily: After reaching the high of 2806.96, it has fallen back. There is currently no daily-level bottom divergence, and the daily-level pullback has not yet confirmed its end; the daily chart is now consolidating and oscillating, not a one-sided decline, representing a daily pullback segment after the rise.
2. 4-Hour Level
4H dropped from the high of 2806, then formed a pivot at the low, currently oscillating within the 4-hour pivot.
4H has not made a new lower low with bottom divergence downward, nor has it broken upward out of the pivot;
Conclusion: 4H is consolidating, trend neutral, neither bulls nor bears have established direction, waiting to choose a direction.
3. 30-Minute Level (Core Observation Level)
From the high of 2806, a downward segment formed with a low at 2626.07, then rebounded to form a 30-minute pivot.
Current price is 2691, oscillating within the 30-minute pivot range.
✅ Key: This 30-minute down segment has already hit the low of 2626, with no new lows afterward. The short-term down segment has temporarily stopped, but the 30-minute second buy has not yet been confirmed. $BTC So far, the price is still holding above the 50-week moving average...
If you look at historical price action, once we close weekly above the 50-week moving average, it's a good indicator that sentiment has turned bullish.
I've seen many traders looking for a retest at $75k, which would bring the price back below the moving average.
If everyone is looking for the same scenario to happen, market makers will probably manipulate against it.Pullback or reversal? $ETH has been grinding at the 2700 level for several rounds, but volume can't keep up. If it can't hold, it's a bull trap. I've been holding short positions from the low levels, adding on breaks according to the rhythm, with an overall cost around 2670. Some say you don't short in a bull market, but did everyone forget what happened on October 11 last year?
That earlier spike pierced above 2800, and $BTC couldn't hold either, quickly dropping back down, which shows real selling pressure above. Unless it reclaims and closes steadily above 2700 intraday, I won't participate in longs. $ONE Strategy increases holdings again, while Treasury simultaneously increases its holdings. Strategy has restarted its coin buying model. The latest disclosures show that from September 14 to 20, Strategy spent $75.7 million to increase holdings of 950 BTC, with an average cost of $79,670, and a total holding of 846,000 BTC, with a cumulative cost of $63.8 billion and an average holding cost of $75,416.
What's even more noteworthy is that this time Strategy is not the only one buying. At the same time, Strive also increased its holdings by 1,355 BTC, and new funds have emerged in corporate treasuries.
I believe this news has two main layers of significance for BTC.
First, the company's treasury is buying coins again, indicating that capital is accepting prices around $80,000 is increasing, and Strategy is even increasing positions at levels below market prices.
Second, buying coins in the treasury itself creates some spot demand, but it can't be simply understood as "Strategy buys, BTC will definitely rise." The real key is whether more companies follow suit later and whether these buying moments can continue.
In the short term, I will focus on three key signals: whether the strategy continues to increase holdings, whether other treasury companies follow suit, and whether BTC can hold above the $85,000 to $86,000 range with increased volume.
If Caiku continues to buy and BTC breaks previous highs with increased volume, it indicates incremental funds are forming positive feedback; If the news stimulates strong but BTC surges without volume or even falls back to key support, one should guard against positive news being realized.
Personally, I think this time it's more pure than Dan YiA veteran trader pointed out that in past cycles, buying the underlying layer-1 blockchain $SOL consistently outperformed tokens within its ecosystem. At that time, most on-chain applications lacked maturity, and tokens were mostly high FDV, low-circulation governance tokens without real revenue.
However, the current on-chain environment, capital flows, protocol maturity, and token economics have undergone structural changes.
Projects like Raydium, Jupiter (aggregation, contracts, and JLP liquidity pool yields), and pump (meme coin casinos) have solid revenue generation and buyback capabilities.
The market cap of SOL itself has reached hundreds of billions to even trillions in scale, and its flexibility is essentially limited by the macro asset ceiling of large L1s.
In contrast, the circulating market cap of leading protocols within the ecosystem is often only in the hundreds of millions to tens of billions of dollars range. Once the market enters a liquidity spillover phase, high-quality beta tokens denominated in SOL often generate considerable excess returns.I don't know how far this Ant position's $ZEC short can go.
The position was initially opened above 1360, then adjusted several times to bring the average price up to 1521. The current price is around 1540. Fortunately, it's just an Ant position, so short-term fluctuations don't affect my mindset much.
On the 1-hour chart, the price has fallen below the short-term moving average, and the MACD is weak, so the bears still have some structural basis. However, the RSI is close to oversold, and there is obvious support near 1510, so a rebound could happen at any time here.
I will continue to watch if the 1550–1560 range can hold the price down. If it drops near 1510, I will consider closing part of the position; my add-on position is at the previous high. If it firmly breaks above 1575 again, the short position needs to be cautious. ZEC has been very volatile recently; even if the direction is right, the process can be rough, so a smaller position is easier to hold 📉The most unusual detail in today's market: the Fear and Greed Index has reached 74 in the greed zone, yet $VTHO is pulling up +12.32% despite a negative funding rate of -0.1090%. The current price of 0.000839 has directly broken above the Bollinger upper band at 0.000823102, while shorts are still paying to hold their positions. This indicates that this rally is not driven by leveraged longs piling up, but by spot buying absorbing the shorts—greedy sentiment and negative funding rates, this kind of divergence often means the short squeeze is not over yet.
From a technical perspective, MA5=0.0008098 has crossed above MA20=0.0007818, establishing a bullish alignment; the MACD histogram at +4.966e-06 maintains bullish momentum; however, RSI=81.3 has entered overbought territory, with a 30-candle amplitude of 13.47%, amplifying short-term volatility. If BTC maintains strength, the sector rotation elasticity of these small-cap coins will continue to release; once the market weakens, the combination of overbought conditions and high volatility will amplify pullbacks.
Directionally, I am bullish but will not chase the highs. Entry reference is 0.000800–0.000825, i.e., the area between the MA5 and the Bollinger upper band, because moving average support is effective and the funding rate remains negative, favoring longs. Take profit 1 is at 0.000880, the measured extension after breaking the upper band; take profit 2 is at 0.000930, corresponding to the target zone after amplitude expansion. Stop loss is set at 0.000760; breaking below MA20 invalidates the bullish structure.$BTC May 10 call: flagged the 80,890-81,480 coil as bullish and named 82K the decider. It broke 82K that same day (82,210 4H close) but got rejected back to 80,463 within 24 hours - short-term fail. Longer term the bullish read held: price ran to 87,396 by September after dipping to 57,800 in July. Now at 84,046, RSI neutral at 50.2. 82K decides again - reclaim it for a run back at 87,396, reject it and expect a slide toward the mid-80s.BlackRock's investment strategy is truly going on-chain.👀
$ONDO is not just hyping the RWA narrative this time, but launching 3 tokenized portfolios based on BlackRock's strategy.
In the past, it was about putting individual stocks, ETFs, or government bonds on-chain; now it has evolved to putting entire investment portfolios on-chain, supporting rule-based rebalancing.
This means RWA is moving from "asset tokenization" to "tokenization of traditional asset management products."
What makes this $ONDO move more noteworthy is that traditional asset management giants are starting to directly participate in on-chain investment products. $BTC JUST BROKE THE 81,810$ CEILING EXTENDING FOR THE WHOLE MONTH, NOW THE MARKET HAS RUSHED TO CALL 87.5K THE PEAK.
But looking at the daily chart, I don't see a breakout with large volume yet, and the pullback to 84.6K is cooling down.
4H is indeed weakening, but if 81,810$ holds, I personally still see this as a retest rather than a structure break.
The levels I’m watching are 81.8K and 87.5K, do you think BTC will bounce after testing or will it shake out deeper? Not investment advice.
#FedHikesBTCResilience
#ETHTests2500 North Korean hackers are truly a scourge; they can come up with any trick.
Besides stealing money from exchanges, they don't spare retail investors either. Recently, North Korean hackers have been impersonating AI and crypto company interviewers, specifically targeting web designers, engineers, and Web3 professionals.
The scheme isn't complicated.
They schedule a technical interview, asking you to download a project from a developer platform to complete tasks, or claim the video is lagging and ask you to download a file to fix it. The file contains a Trojan that steals wallets and passwords.
The interviewer even uses AI face swapping and after chatting for a bit, uses the excuse of poor network to turn off the video.
Seven agencies from the US, Japan, Germany, and Australia have jointly warned in recent days that this fake interview scam has infected at least 30,000 devices, stealing funds or credentials from over 7,000 wallets, with about 10.71 million USD flowing into Pyongyang.
If an interview asks you to download something and run it, don't do it on a computer that holds your wallet.. $BTC Good morning, I just glanced at OKX, $BTC is at 84,000, slightly up; $ETH at 2,690, barely moved; ZEC at 1,500, even a little green.
I really don't want to chase BTC right now. Last week it almost touched 87,000, but once US debt rose, it was pulled back directly. Institutions are still buying ETFs, and big players haven't fled, so it doesn't look like a crash, just some profit-taking after a big rise. My own position is just holding; if it can hold between 83,000 and 84,000, it might push up again; if not, I'll take a break. The interest rate rope isn't loosening, so it's hard for it to surge happily.
$ETH feels even less exciting. It's just following BTC now, rising a little, falling a little. The story is still there, but money clearly prefers coins that can jump more. Around 2,690, I just treat it as waiting for the big brother to finish this leg first.
$ZEC is the craziest lately. It almost doubled in a month, already more than tripled this year, with privacy, ETFs, and some moving BTC positions over to buy it. It surged to around 1,680 a couple of days ago then pulled back; now 1,500 is washing out floating positions. I acknowledge its heat but definitely won't chase highs. I consider 1,440 to 1,550 as observation zones, and 1,700 is still far away. The story sounds good, but regulators might pour cold water anytime, and its swings are much wilder than BTC.
So my current takeaway: watch if BTC can hold, put ETH aside for now, watch ZEC if it pulls back, and don't get itchy when it's green. The order book is thin over the weekend, just watch the structure, don't make life harder for yourself. Bitcoin has recently fluctuated around $84K, briefly breaking above $87K before retreating. Meanwhile, US spot Bitcoin ETFs have recorded net inflows for six consecutive trading days, totaling over $2.8B, indicating institutional capital demand remains. Two key variables to watch over the weekend: 🛢️ Oil prices — if energy prices continue to fall, inflationary pressures may ease. 📉 10-year US Treasury yields — high yields remain a significant pressure on risk assets. Technically, the $82K–$84K range is worth watching; If BTC can regain the $85K level, the market may test resistance near $87K again. Conversely, a break below $82K would warrant caution for further expansion of pullback pressure. Rather than chasing rallies, it is more important to observe whether ETF capital flows, bond yields, and price structures are confirmed simultaneously. #BTC #Bitcoin #Crypto #DailyOrbit #FedHikesBTCResilience #USTreasuryYieldsRiseRecently, there has been a very obvious change in the US stock market and the crypto space: the AI narrative has reignited, and risk capital is starting to flow into high Beta assets together.
On September 21, the Nasdaq hit a new stage high, with AMD rising about 10% at one point and its market value surpassing $1 trillion. Chip stocks like Intel and Arm also strengthened significantly. More interestingly, on the same day, $BTC briefly broke through $86,000, with a single-day increase of over 6%.
By September 25, Microsoft’s stock price rose 3.66% due to the launch of the new version of Copilot, and the Nasdaq continued to rise 0.48% that day.
This indicates one thing: the market is no longer just trading "AI stocks" but risk appetite.
AI tech stocks rise, the Nasdaq strengthens, capital sentiment improves, and then high-volatility assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum $ tend to benefit as well.
But I want to remind you: don’t simply interpret the AI rally as a guaranteed rise for the crypto space.
If AI companies’ earnings can’t keep up with huge capital expenditures, or if US Treasury yields continue to rise, tech stock valuations will come under pressure, and the crypto space could be dragged down along with them.
So now when I look at Bitcoin, I don’t just focus on the candlestick chart.
The Nasdaq, AI giants, and US Treasury yields—these three things are increasingly worth watching alongside Bitcoin on the same screen.
This might be the real intersection between the US stock market and the crypto space right now.The trend of $BTC is making me a bit nervous; I don't quite understand it!
Yesterday saw the largest options expiry in history just settle, yet the market showed no volatility at all.
Deribit's quarterly expiry yesterday had a notional value of $18.1 billion, a record high, wiping out nearly 40% of the entire BTC open interest at once. The settlement price was well above the pain point, so the long structure remains intact. But the positive gamma buffer is gone, so next week's order flow will be exposed.
The good news is the chip position is solid: exchange BTC reserves have dropped to 2.7 million coins, the lowest since 2019; whale wallets have accumulated over 110,000 BTC in just over two months. The mid-term structure is bullish.
The bad news is retail investors are also buying. Historically, before a bull market starts, "whales buy, retail sells." Now retail FOMO hasn't been cleared out, indicating sentiment reset is incomplete, so the breakout won't happen overnight.
As long as it doesn't break below 83,000, I still believe there will be one more wave up before a pullback
