ZEC touched about 1650 to continue creating a new all-time high About 13.4 million liquidated in nearly 4 hours, 90% crushed on shorts According to CoinGlass data, after ZEC broke through around 1600, about 13.4 million USD worth of contracts were liquidated in nearly 4 hours, ranking first across the entire network. Short positions accounted for about 12.9 million, while long positions were left with just a small tail. OKX's current quote is around 1617, up about 10% in 24 hours. Everyone is definitely more concerned now whether this wave is real capital taking over or leverage forcing shorts to cover and pushing the price up. Next, keep an eye on whether around 1600 can hold. If it doesn't hold, the new high expectations will be given back.#财报观察员:好市多Q4财报即将公布 The market is about to receive two earnings reports with significant macro signals, representing the fundamentals of U.S. consumer spending and the AI storage sector's market conditions. The disclosure results of these two will provide different dimensions of reference for equity and crypto markets. Costco will release its fiscal year 2026 Q4 earnings report in the early morning of September 25 Beijing time. The company has already pre-announced Q4 net sales of $93.9 billion, up 11.3% year-over-year; comparable sales growth of 9.4%, and a 6.7% increase year-over-year excluding oil prices and exchange rate disturbances. Sales figures are already confirmed, so the market's focus for this earnings report is no longer on revenue scale. The core highlights are membership numbers, membership renewal rates, and overall profit margin levels. As a benchmark enterprise in U.S. retail, Costco's membership renewal rate directly reflects the consumption confidence of ordinary households and serves as a window to observe whether U.S. consumer spending can maintain resilience. If membership growth slows and renewal rates decline, it means consumer spending is weakening, which would change market expectations for the pace of interest rate cuts; conversely, strong membership data would reinforce the narrative of a soft landing for the U.S. economy 【BTC 85,981|After hitting 87K, now let's see who's buying】 BTC surged above 87,000 yesterday but then pulled back to around 85,981. Although there was some profit-taking in the short term, the capital flow hasn't noticeably cooled down—on Monday, the US spot BTC ETF saw a net inflow close to $1 billion. The underlying capital support for this BTC rebound is more noteworthy than just a short squeeze. Now, the 85K–86K range is a key short-term zone. If BTC can hold here and break above 87K again, there is a chance for the price to test 88K–90K; if 85K breaks down and the rebound fails to reclaim 86K, watch for a pullback to 83K–84K. In the futures market, the biggest change here is that long and short positions at high levels are starting to rotate again. There's no need to guess the top yet; first see if 85K can hold, which makes it easier to judge the next move. This is just a market opinion and does not constitute investment advice. $BTC $KERNEL Conclusion first: short-term bias is bearish, the rebound is an opportunity to short, not a signal to bottom-fish. From the funding perspective, KERNEL funding rate is -1.1386%, an extreme negative value among mainstream contracts. Negative funding means shorts are paying longs, which superficially suggests crowded shorts prone to a short squeeze, but combined with a 24h plunge of -15.74% and a 47.75% amplitude over 30 K-bars, this looks more like a panic-driven short squeeze rather than a healthy bottom signal. Capital is betting real money on further downside. Technically, the consensus is bearish: MA5=0.06018 has crossed below MA20=0.061235, forming a bearish moving average alignment; MACD histogram at -0.0007905 maintains bearish momentum; RSI=47.1 is neutral to weak, not oversold enough to require a rebound. The lower Bollinger Band at 0.05545 is the nearest support, but volume is only 7.4M USDT, indicating weak buying power. In terms of operation, short in batches on rebounds between 0.0590 and 0.0602 (close to MA5 and the lower edge of the Bollinger middle band), take profit 1 at 0.0555 (lower Bollinger Band), take profit 2 at 0.0530 (extension of previous low), stop loss at 0.0625 (if price closes back above MA20, the bearish logic fails).9月22日,美国现货ETF继续录得净流入,但规模明显低于前一交易日: 🟠 BTC ETF:+$104.0M 累计净流入约 $56.33B 🔵 ETH ETF:+$37.7M 累计净流入约 $13.59B 而在前一个交易日,BTC现货ETF一度吸引接近 $1B资金,ETH ETF也达到约 $270M,因此最新数据更像是资金流入速度正在放缓,而不是完全转向流出。 📊 价格方面: $BTC 仍在 $86K附近震荡,距离近期高点 $87.4K不远。 $ETH 维持在 $2.75K–$2.8K区域,近期高点约 $2.81K。 有意思的地方就在这里: ETF资金边际降温 ≠ 价格立即走弱。 这意味着当前市场可能不只是依赖ETF买盘,现货市场需求、机构配置、期货仓位以及空头回补等因素,也可能共同支撑价格。近期BTC突破$85K后,市场确实出现了明显的空头回补和风险偏好回升。 🎯 接下来真正值得观察的不是“ETF有没有买”,而是: 如果ETF流入继续减少, 👉 谁在承接卖盘? 👉 BTC能否继续守住 $85K? 👉 ETH能否稳定在 $2.7K上方? 👉 如果资金流重新加速,是否会再次😭 That spike to 87374 in BTC yesterday, no one dares to follow up today. Yesterday's low was 85070.2, the high touched 87374.3 but didn't break through, closing at 86369.9. Today opened at 86369.9, the high reached 86800, the low was 85935.1, current price is about 86507. Volume has shrunk. 86800 above is still resistance, only above that is yesterday's 87374. If 85935 below breaks again, it’s likely to revisit 85070 first. In the short term, watch if 86500 can hold. If it can't hold, treat it as a high spike digestion, don't chase at this price now. For those already holding, watch if 85935 support holds; if it doesn't, consider reducing a bit. $BTC There is an easily overlooked detail in this surge: public sources say about $650 million worth of short positions were liquidated, but the total open interest (OI) in derivatives did not drop accordingly; instead, new money came in to support the scale. In plain language (not a trading call): • It's not just "shorts getting crushed" — short-term leverage has been rebuilt again • The short squeeze accelerates the rise, and new longs adding positions have also prepared the fuel for the next round of volatility • When the price is consolidating around 86,000, it's more worthwhile to watch whether OI continues to soar or starts to cool down rather than chasing the next move After the short squeeze excitement, the real test is whether positions have been filled up along with the sentiment.$BTC · $ETH · $SOL The market looks stable, but it's actually not easy. BTC is pacing back and forth around $86,000. Although it has risen about 15% cumulatively over the past 7 days, it slightly dropped 0.2% in the last 24 hours. On the upside, the $87,000 to $88,000 range is widely recognized as the next significant resistance. Without spot buying support, momentum buyers are clearly hesitant; on the downside, the short-term support between $84,500 and $85,000 has not been seriously tested, and bears dare not add positions recklessly. ETH is stuck around $2,750, just rejected after touching the $2,818 Fibonacci extension level. The 1-hour ADX is as high as 61, indicating strong trend strength, but the direction remains undecided. SOL is consolidating with shrinking volume near $116. The 4-hour Bollinger Bands upper and lower bands are at 120.61 and 105.87 respectively, with price hugging the middle band. ATR has narrowed to 17.51, showing continued compression of volatility. Neither bulls nor bears want to make the first move. The longer this stalemate drags on, the more likely the night session will suddenly see amplified volatility. One key signal is easily overlooked: funding rates are generally low. The BTC perpetual contract funding rate is only 0.0092%, annualized just over ten basis points, far from a "crowded" level; Glassnode also confirms that option long leverage is slowly rebuilding but remains far below the overheated peak. This means the current high-level sideways movement is not a false boom driven by leverage, but it also indicates the market lacks clear directional incremental capital. Once external disturbances occur during the night session, stop-loss orders on both sides will be especially dense under the low funding rate structure, making prices prone to sudden breaches of key levels. The real risk in the night session lies in liquidity gaps. Data shows about 66% of Bitcoin's largest price swings happen during periods when US institutional players exit and order books thin out. A weekend drop below $78,000 once triggered about $2.2 billion in liquidations. Quotes that seem rock-solid during the day can experience pulse-like surges or crashes at night due to a few large orders. SOL's situation is particularly sensitive—the 4-hour Bollinger Bands have clearly contracted, and the ADX is only 20.10. Such convergence is often followed by sharp directional moves rather than smooth transitions. Focus on two signals: First, how BTC tests the $87,000–$88,000 range. If it is a low-volume fake breakout followed by a quick pullback, it indicates the bears' squeeze momentum is running out; if it holds with volume, it has the condition to open further upside space. Second, ETH's performance near $2,780. This level is the most critical breakout test zone currently. Without volume to hold above, chasing longs is unwise; if it fails, the $2,700–$2,650 support zone will be directly exposed. Sideways movement does not mean safety; it only means risk is concentrating toward a certain point in time. Stay calm during the day, but don't relax at night. #BTC冲高$87000,加密总市值重返3万亿 #美伊3小时会谈释放积极信号? #财报观察员:好市多Q4财报即将公布 Public source data: The US spot BTC ETF had a net inflow of about 999 million USD on 9/21, almost the strongest day in 2026; whereas the entire week ending 9/18 only saw a net inflow of about 6.2 million. The gap is shockingly large. Personally, I don't extrapolate this way (not a trade call): 1. The single-day peak looks more like an "emotional flip," not meaning it can be replicated every day afterward. 2. There is a note that part of Monday's inflow reflects subscriptions from the previous trading day; the real hedging impact needs to be seen in subsequent disclosures. 3. More importantly, whether 9/22 and 9/23 can continue the trend matters more than treating the 1 billion as proof of having boarded. You can watch the excitement, but position sizing should be based on "continuity," not "clickbait."$ENA Last time saying: I have already positioned short, all the bearish news is solid, all the bullish talk is just talk.

Share to let more people know the truth! #ENA #Short #AI押注受挫,华尔街交易巨头月亏150亿美元 Michael Burry increased his short positions on #MU, #NBIS, #PLTR, and the market immediately started asking, "Is he right again?" But after Burry became legendary in 2008, he has also failed to be bearish multiple times or exited too early. His publicly disclosed holdings are often delayed, and the scale, hedging structure, and time frame may not align with those of ordinary people. Following celebrities to short and thinking clearly about why to short are two different things. He might be right, but that doesn't mean now is the right time.$BTC's biggest fear right now isn't a drop, but a false breakout. A drop at least raises awareness; a false breakout first gives hope, then slams the door shut. The price breaks past the previous high, the candlesticks cheer, and both momentum buyers and short-sellers' stop losses flood in—yet spot volume doesn't keep up, ETFs don't continue, and perpetual futures open interest surges. This kind of breakout is mostly driven by leverage, not genuine buying. A real breakout usually has these characteristics: volume surges as it stands above a key level, pullbacks don't break support, and spot buying is solid. False breakouts often spike quickly and fall even faster, leaving a long upper wick, followed by liquidation of long leverage positions. So right now, don't fear a drop; fear rushing in at the sight of a breakout. In practice: don't chase the first sharp rally, wait for a pullback confirmation; consider scaling in only if key support holds; manage leverage carefully and avoid data windows. Breakouts can deceive, but pullbacks and volume usually don't. #BTC冲高$87000,加密总市值重返3万亿 #美伊3小时会谈释放积极信号? #财报观察员:好市多Q4财报即将公布 Two major on-chain sell pressure signals have arrived! Whale + FTX liquidation moving coins simultaneously The market has just started to warm up recently Two large asset transfers have consecutively exploded on-chain It's worth our close attention First, the FTX liquidation team took action Transferred 27,372 $ETH, about $75.32 million From 6 wallets to Wintermute Those who understand know clearly, transferring to this type of market maker Most likely means entrusting batch sales When the market rebounds, the liquidators sell off This itself is a very typical bearish signal ETH will continue to face selling pressure in the short term Second, an ancient BitMEX whale address Transferred out 2,000 $BTC, equivalent to $172 million Sent to Galaxy Digital institutional platform This whale is no small player In 2025, it once withdrew 32,000 BTC at one time Accounting for 65% of BitMEX reserves at that time Including this time, it has cumulatively deposited 8,000 BTC to institutional platforms Large coin transfers to institutional service providers Often signal preparations for cashing out Now it's not just sell pressure on a single coin BTC and ETH both show large transfers simultaneously On one side, liquidation sales from a bankrupt platform On the other, an old whale cashing profits after long accumulation The market still looks like it's rebounding But big players have quietly taken profits underneath At times like this, never blindly chase highs Be alert to the risk of pullbacks caused by capital dumping #BTC冲高$87000,加密总市值重返3万亿 $BTC: Interpretation of the Long-Short Liquidation Map From the perspective of the long-short liquidation map, the concentrated liquidation points of high-leverage funds are clearly defined. The core pain points for short-term high-leverage longs are concentrated at the price levels of 84700 and 85320, which are also the recent dense accumulation zones for many long positions; After a period of high-level sideways consolidation, a large number of short-term high-leverage shorts have clustered around the 87000 level, making this area the focus of market contention going forward. There are two possible scenarios for the market: if the price action chooses to move downward first to wash out longs, as long as the 83000 support holds during the pullback, the hourly chart will likely show a bottom-probing wick signal, completing a round of harvesting long leverage below. After the shakeout, the market still has momentum to counterattack, with a chance to touch the 87000 level once, triggering the concentrated short positions and igniting short liquidation. If the 83000 support is effectively broken, the short-term long structure weakens, and the expectation to push up to 87000 will be postponed. In the short term, focus on the hourly stabilization signal at 83000 and the selling pressure reaction at the 87000 level. #BTC冲高$87000,加密总市值重返3万亿 #美伊3小时会谈释放积极信号? The US and Iran held a direct 3-hour meeting 🔥, causing oil prices to drop in response. This New York meeting is the biggest recent news in the Middle East. The US side said the talks went well and they want to meet again; Iran directly revealed its bottom line: it wants to restore navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, on the condition that the maritime blockade is lifted and frozen assets are unfrozen. Many people's first reaction to the news: the strait will reopen, and oil prices will continue to fall. But don't be too optimistic yet. While sitting down to negotiate, the US has not abandoned the option of military action, and a ceasefire agreement is not even on the table. Iran's conditions are a hard threshold, and whether the US can agree is completely unknown now. The market is only speculating on the expectation of "willingness to engage," not a final agreement. Expectations come fast and can reverse quickly. Going forward, focus on two points: whether there is substantive consensus, and whether there are concrete actions to reopen navigation through the strait. The news is likely to fluctuate.#BTC surges to $87000, total crypto market cap returns to 3 trillion $ETH fundamentals are expected to be weak, institutional buying momentum is insufficient, and moreover, BTC spot ETFs are the main driver of this rally, but ETH spot ETF approval still faces huge uncertainty. The market is inherently more cautious about ETH institutional funds. Under the same macro positive factors, ETH has greater volatility in gains. But once it hits resistance, funds will prioritize cashing out ETH and flowing back to BTC for safety, so ETH's pullback is faster. Therefore, this is a false breakout, a surge without volume, with heavy sell orders appearing as soon as it hits 2800. Short squeeze momentum is exhausted, no continuous spot fund relay, combined with slight macro disturbances, leading to a rapid decline. $BTC $DOGE #美伊3小时会谈释放积极信号? #财报观察员:好市多Q4财报即将公布 9.23 Morning Market Overview: Three Major Negative Factors, #BTC Rebounds Sharply, What's the Reason? BTC closed with a hammer candlestick this morning, showing a bullish structure for the day. 1: From the failure of the "Clear Act" to pass, to the Fed raising interest rates by 25 basis points, and then Japan raising rates by 1.25%, these three major negative factors did not cause BTC to pull back. Perhaps AI and the return of funds from the US stock market helped push BTC's rebound. 2: BTC spot ETF has seen net inflows for four consecutive days, with large amounts of capital flowing in daily, which is one of the drivers boosting BTC's upward momentum. 3: There are too many people frequently shorting, continuing to add to their positions, and opening new short positions. The market makers like this kind of crowd, so they repeatedly cause sharp rallies to wear them down. The shorts repeatedly act as fuel to boost BTC liquidity. After this rebound, BTC is consolidating and repairing at a high level, with the market temporarily showing little volatility, hovering around 86k, waiting for the next signal. From the chart, BTC is forming an ascending converging triangle, with the previous high acting as converging resistance. On the 1H chart, BTC shows volume-price divergence, with rising prices on shrinking volume, indicating inconsistency between volume and price; meanwhile, MACD shows a bullish divergence at the bottom accompanied by shrinking volume, indicating weak upward momentum. On Friday, $18.1 billion worth of BTC and ETH options will expire, and BTC options open interest is concentrated between 90k-100k, so the market may rebound again. When the market is ambiguous, observe more and stay out of positions, waiting to switch targets, and learn to be friends with time. #BTC冲高$87000,加密总市值重返3万亿 $BTC $DOGE|Dogecoin The originator of Meme, inherently carrying traffic consensus. This round of rise has no substantial protocol-level benefits; it is mainly driven by increased market risk appetite and short squeeze. 24-hour range: High 0.1058, Low 0.09727. Market characteristics: Highly explosive, but entirely emotion-driven, rising fast and retreating mercilessly. Operational focus is on volume; be cautious of profit-taking when volume expands but price stagnates, and avoid blindly chasing highs at elevated levels. #BTC冲高$87000,加密总市值重返3万亿 #美伊3小时会谈释放积极信号? #财报观察员:好市多Q4财报即将公布 $DOGE $ZEC $BTC The three brothers collectively turn: short squeeze and ETF inflow resonance, but don't mistake the rebound for a reversal Bitcoin, Ethereum, and SOL simultaneously switch from "gradual decline recovery" to "short squeeze + ETF inflow" mode. The real risk is not the pullback itself, but the market misreading the short squeeze as a new trend and blindly adding positions at 86,000, 2,760, and 119. $BTC has reclaimed the long-term moving average, the strongest structure repair in nearly 300 days. Supports at 85,200/84,000/83,000; resistances at 86,800/87,400/88,000–90,000. The 83,000–86,000 range was originally a dense bearish zone, now turned into short-term support. Medium-term bias is bullish, but chasing highs has low cost-effectiveness; waiting for a pullback is safer. $ETH continues on-chain and institutional accumulation. Supports at 2,700/2,640–2,560; resistances at 2,800/2,890/3,000. 2,700 is a key watershed; holding it means 2,800–3,000 can still be tested; losing it points to support at 2,640. $SOL ETF inflows exist, but contract positions are overly high. Supports at 114/110–107; resistances at 120/123–125. Above 114 is relatively strong; breaking below warns of further pullback. Leverage heating up faster than spot demand is SOL's main current risk. Today, attention is on US PMI data and the meeting window between Trump and Xi Jinping. The three brothers' structures improve, but the short squeeze-driven rise needs spot confirmation; don't take over at emotional highs. #BTC冲高$87000,加密总市值重返3万亿 ETF IS CHANGING CRYPTO’S MARKET STRUCTURE On Sept. 22, Spot ETF flows remained positive: $BTC+$364.40M|$ETH+$71.34M|$SOL +$28.87M But the signal is inflows: $BTC $56.52B|$ETH $13.59B|$SOL $1.47B.

If ETF flows weaken,what demand is keeping the market this high?Apple and Google Enter Stablecoins! Not Minting Coins, Just Grabbing Entry Points—Do You Understand This Game? Brothers, Er Gou thinks Apple and Google are competing for the same type of talent. Apple is hiring for Apple Pay, explicitly requiring knowledge of stablecoins; Google Cloud is recruiting Web3 architects targeting financial institutions and exchanges. Neither has mentioned issuing coins, but their actions are honest—they are fighting for payment entry points. In the future, Apple and Google will likely become major institutions holding stablecoins. I believe their strength won’t lead to liquidation like mine, haha. My judgment is: this will have a more profound impact than issuing ETFs. Currently, stablecoins mainly circulate within small circles, and ordinary people don’t encounter them. But if Apple integrates stablecoins into Apple Pay, users won’t need to understand blockchain—they can just scan and pay. Once this level of entry opens, stablecoins’ everyday use cases will explode. Users will start with payments and gradually understand value storage, and Bitcoin is the hardest asset in this ecosystem; sooner or later, it will be recognized. Haven’t you tried buying Apple phones and other products with Bitcoin or Ethereum? But I must remind you: this is a slow-moving variable; the coin price won’t take off in the short term because of this news. The entry of giants means regulatory paths are relatively clear, and traditional finance concerns are decreasing. Directionally, crypto payments are moving from the fringe to the mainstream. Strategy: focus on long-term opportunities in RWA, payment concepts, and compliant public chains; don’t buy at the peak of emotions. #Apple、Google招聘稳定币相关人才,或进军加密支付? 2026-09-23 Crypto Morning Report (information as of 10:09) Bitcoin is trading steadily at $86,300, with compliance derivatives news boosting the established mainstream. Three core morning updates: - CME announced the listing of BCH and UNI futures (The Block) on October 19. Stimulated by this, OKX spot BCH surged nearly 30%, UNI rose over 15%, and both entered the top ten in trading volume. - XRP derivatives and spot single-day total trading volume surpassed $7.4 billion (CryptoSlate). Institutional short positions on CME experienced large-scale unwinding stampedes, helping XRP hold steady at $1.57. - Ancient tokens showed unusual movement. An old wallet that hadn't moved for over ten years transferred $161 million worth of Bitcoin (Decrypt) within two weeks, raising concerns about early whale cash-outs. Let's focus on CME issuing birth certificates for BCH and UNI. This marks the expansion of the legitimate army's compliant derivatives shelf from Biting 2 to Big. Scenario A: If compliant funds use CME to establish long-term hedging positions, the liquidity depth of BCH and UNI will be solidly supported, driving valuation recovery in the old mainstream sector. Scenario B: If the market only treats news as a speculative theme, the realization of positive news on the eve of the mid-October contract launch could easily trigger profit-taking sell-offs. Keep a close watch: BCH breaking through $340#美伊3小时会谈释放积极信号? The boss has something to say The US and Iran held talks in New York for 3 hours. Trump said it was very good and productive, and both sides plan to meet again. Iran set conditions: lifting the maritime blockade, releasing frozen assets, with the Strait of Hormuz navigation as a key point. But don't rush to conclusions. Trump did not rule out further military action, and no ceasefire arrangement was reached. Iran's conditions are high thresholds, and a real agreement is still far off. The market is trading on expectations, not facts. Oil prices have clearly fallen back, and geopolitical premiums are retreating. This is a short-term positive for risk assets and eases inflation pressure for a moment. But before the negotiations land, reversals can happen at any time. BTC surged to 87,000 then pulled back; missed this wave, so no chasing the highs. The Fed just raised rates, with over a 55% chance of another hike in October, and long-term US bonds still above 5%. Macro pressure remains. Wait for a pullback to see if 84,000 to 85,000 can hold, then consider light buying. Negotiation news is volatile; no directional bets. First watch the US side's next response, then decide. The above analysis is time-sensitive; always set stop-loss orders. Good luck.BTC short-term trend Short-term strategy suggestions: For holders (core strategy — trailing take profit): Continue holding long positions, move stop loss up to 86,100 (reduce position if broken)/85,400 (close position). Path: Hold after breaking through 87,394 → take partial profits in batches between 89,500-90,000 (at least realize half) → move stop loss based on hourly lows for remaining positions aiming for 92,000 For those without positions: 1. Buy on dip: Buy at 86,100-86,400 if stabilized, stop loss at 85,400, target 89,700-90,000 2. Breakout chase: Buy on volume breakout above 87,394 (hourly volume > 1.5 billion), stop loss at 86,300, target 89,700 → 90,500. Risk control red line (more important than any target): If it breaks below 85,085, shallow consolidation fails, exit all long positions, wait to reassess at 84,100-84,600; if it breaks below 84,100, confirm large-scale correction starts, trend short positions target 82,800 → 81,500 Current status: 86,470 is only 924 points away from ATH, at a critical breakout point. This is the "last low-risk investment window" of this cycle — either buy the dip at 86,100-86,400, or chase the breakout with volume above 87,394; only sell above 90,000, no buying. The risk-reward ratio of chasing highs at historical peaks will sharply worsen after 90,000, discipline is more important than judgment. $BTC #星球日报 #BTC surged to $87,000, crypto total market cap returns to 3 trillion #ZEC whale closes 38,000 short positions, losing over $35 million #AMD market cap breaks $1 trillion, chip stocks rally collectively BTC stands above 87,000, market sentiment has indeed picked up, but what I’m more focused on is the change in capital structure. The nearly $600 million inflow from the ETF wave is not something retail investors could have done — institutions are actively accumulating above 80,000, indicating their target price is far beyond this level. Short-term fluctuations are just noise, don’t get shaken out. I continue to hold my long ETH positions; I don’t regret reducing BTC and SOL earlier. At this point, what’s really tested is not vision but patience. Chasing without a proper pullback is essentially gambling on sentiment, not trading. Many say the newly added $2 billion in contracts is a risk, but I see it differently — it’s fuel. The more shorts pile up, the higher the price goes, the greater the risk of a stampede liquidation. Sentiment is just heating up; we’re still far from true FOMO. BTC has pushed the ceiling to 87,000, and ETH’s catch-up rally logic is becoming clearer. As long as the overall market doesn’t experience a systemic crash, it’s highly probable that Ethereum will run a relatively strong rally. Trading advice: For those with floating profits, move stop-loss above the entry price to secure profits first before considering bigger moves; for those without positions, try small positions to test the waters, set take-profit and stop-loss orders in advance. At this stage, surviving longer is more important than making quick gains. #BTC surges to $87000, total crypto market cap returns to $3 trillion BTC surged intraday to $87,000, driving the total crypto market capitalization back to the $3 trillion mark. Major coins like ETH, SOL, and XRP also rose in tandem, with market risk appetite significantly increasing. Two main driving forces behind this rally: ✅ Large-scale institutional spot inflows: On September 21, the US BTC spot ETF saw a single-day net inflow of about $999 million, setting a new inflow record for 2026. Leading products contributed the vast majority of incremental funds, with total ETF assets returning to $100 billion, signaling a clear return of institutional capital. ✅ Concentrated short covering: During the rally phase, large-scale short liquidations occurred, with short liquidations accounting for about 80% of total liquidations. The short squeeze effect further boosted short-term gains. Key short-term variables to watch: This Friday marks the concentrated expiration of BTC and ETH options, with BTC call option open interest concentrated at strike prices of $90,000 and $100,000. Two major indicators for the market going forward: the sustainability of spot ETF inflows and position adjustments around option expirations. Changes in derivative positions tend to amplify short-term market volatility.The European Central Bank has taken action again: the path for stablecoins to "earn interest" may be getting narrower! This time, it's not simply restricting USDT or USDC, but directly targeting the "yield model" behind stablecoins. The European Central Bank and EU central banks have suggested further extending the stablecoin yield ban during the MiCA review to include lending, staking, borrowing, and other indirect income products. The reason is straightforward: if stablecoins themselves cannot pay interest, but users can still earn income by borrowing or staking them, they effectively bypass the original ban. I think the three impacts here are truly worth paying attention to: First, the financial attributes of stablecoins will be further diminished. The ECB's logic is that stablecoins should primarily serve payment functions, rather than become savings products similar to bank deposits. Second, yield products on DeFi and trading platforms may be impacted. If in the future even the indirect model of "stablecoin → lending → earning returns" is restricted, then the number of stablecoin wealth management and lending products that European users can participate in may significantly decrease. Third, USDT, USDC, and other US dollar stablecoins face long-term regulatory pressure. The ECB also recommends adjusting stablecoin reserve rules, shifting some current bank deposit requirements toward highly liquid assets that can be liquidated within 1–5 working days. But one thing to note: this is currently a policy recommendation made by the ECB and the EU central banking system to the European Commission, and does not mean the ban has officially taken effect. In my personal judgment, the overall direction behind this is actually quite clear: Europe allows stablecoins to exist, but...Bitcoin was trading sideways at $86,300, and many people guessed Ethereum would catch up, but the leaders in the morning session were BCH and UNI. I checked OKX's gainers chart this morning: BCH rose 29.4% in a single day, with prices soaring to $342; UNI also rose 15.5%, with trading volume reaching nearly $90 million. In contrast, Ethereum's gain was only 0.31%. Why are these two familiar faces involved? To put it bluntly, existing funds now only recognize one thing—compliant increments. CME announced the launch of BCH and UNI futures on October 19. For Wall Street's legitimate players, having CME's compliant settlement license allows large funds to openly open positions and conduct basis arbitrage. Ethereum now faces the shadow of selling pressure from spot ETFs and is being diverted by various L2s, while BCH and UNI, backed by CME, have already secured certificates for compliant funding pools. But here's the problem. The impulse triggered by this news has always carried a strong sense of expectation arbitrage. If big funds only build a base position to base before the contract launch, and the official listing in mid-October, it could easily turn into a shipment after the positive news is realized. If BCH falls below the $310 level, or if trading volume shrinks rapidly within three days, the logic of this catch-up rally will be completely disproven. Next, I'll focus on two points: first, whether BCH can hold above $340 and turn over easilyInstitutions are buying wildly! They definitely know something? But what really matters is not who bought how much again, but whether treasury companies and ETFs are continuously accumulating. Strategy bought 950 BTC every two weeks at an average price of about $79,670, holding 846,000 BTC; Strive added 1,355 BTC, holding 26,355 BTC. ETH is even more aggressive, BitMine bought 27,562 ETH at once, with a total holding close to 5.98 million ETH, of which 5.07 million are staked. The numbers are scary, but a few thousand coins in a single transaction won't change the big picture. What really has impact is continuous buying. Treasury companies keep buying, ETFs keep absorbing spot, so the tradable supply of BTC and ETH will gradually decrease. It won't rise just because of buying today, but over time, supply changes will slowly show. However, the pace is changing: Strategy used to buy several thousand coins last month, but only 950 this week, slowing down; BitMine is still buying aggressively, but besides hoarding ETH, it also stakes for yield, so the logic is different. $BTC $ETH #BTC冲高$87000,加密总市值重返3万亿 #美伊3小时会谈释放积极信号? #财报观察员:好市多Q4财报即将公布 #BTC surged to $87000, and the total crypto market cap returned to 3 trillion $ETH surged near 2800 then quickly pulled back, the reason being that when the price hit 2800, a large number of early holders directly placed sell orders, and at the same time, there were heavy sell orders on the order book above. Purely relying on short-term funds, it's difficult to consume all sell orders at once; if it can't push through, it will be hammered down. One of the main drivers of the rise was short squeeze; near 2800, this wave of short positions has basically been liquidated, the short squeeze momentum is exhausted, and there is no new buying support. BTC spot ETFs are the main force behind this rally, but ETH spot ETF approval still faces huge uncertainty. The market's expectations for ETH institutional funds are inherently more cautious. Under the same macro favorable conditions, ETH has greater upside elasticity, but once it encounters resistance, funds will prioritize taking profits on ETH and flow back to BTC for hedging, so ETH's pullback is faster. #美伊3小时会谈释放积极信号? #财报观察员:好市多Q4财报即将公布 $BTC $DOGE $XAU Gold has been dropping during the day and bouncing at night these past two days, but the rebounds lack strength. The price is being suppressed by 4400 and the medium- to long-term moving averages, trading back and forth within a wide high-level triangle. For a sustained rise, it must first hold above 4385; if it can't, there's no chance. On the downside, buy in batches at 4300 and 4267, but don't chase the rally. The weekly bullish trend is intact, 4245 is very important and also the starting point of this wave; break below it and cut losses. #美伊3小时会谈释放积极信号? 📊 ETF FLOWS ARE EASING, BUT PRICE IS STILL HOLDING On September 22, spot ETF flows remained positive: 🟢 $BTC : +$104.54M → cumulative $56.26B 🟢 $ETH : +$37.70M → cumulative $13.56B However, inflows were noticeably lower than the previous day.

Morning Core Stories: - US-Iran sideline meeting at the UN General Assembly (BBC, Al Jazeera). Trump threatened to destroy Iran during his speech, but privately US and Iranian officials sat on the sidelines negotiating, and Trump later changed his stance, saying the meeting was "very smooth." - Zelensky said Ukraine is preparing a ceasefire with Russia over energy facilities (Al Jazeera), indicating a temporary probing window in the tense Russia-Ukraine situation. - Six major Canadian commercial banks jointly launched a pilot for tokenized deposits (CoinDesk). Facing the impact of offshore US dollar stablecoins, traditional banking systems are jointly building compliant on-chain channels. Core transmission chain: Intensive interaction at the UN Congress has directly weakened geopolitical premiums. Easing expectations in the Middle East pushed international crude oil below the $90 mark; Falling energy costs dampened market concerns about secondary inflation, stabilizing US Treasury yields; Risk appetite in US stocks was boosted, and overflow liquidity indirectly stabilized Bitcoin's $86,000 consolidation platform. Keeping a close eye on the following: First, whether there are signs of substantial easing of sanctions after the US-Iran meeting; Second, whether crude oil can form resistance below $90, consolidating the liquidity bottom of global risk assets.Trading is destined to be a solitary practice. Having entered the crypto space for nearly ten years, I still haven't achieved stable results, but I have changed and gradually honed my own trading system. I believe in technical trading. Relying on news to trade in the crypto world essentially means putting your neck out to be harvested. News-based trading only leads to constantly chasing highs and lows: going long just at the peak spike, going short just at the bottom spike. My trading framework is technical analysis combined with position management. The hardest hurdle to overcome is always execution. Surrounding noise and opinions from various big players can disrupt the rhythm at any time. Yesterday, BTC was generally moving upward, breaking through the 15-minute downtrend line on a pullback, so I followed my plan to go long on BTC, SOL, and HYPE. Watching a live stream in the evening, I forgot that the host's judgment was just a personal subjective interpretation. My discipline was insufficient, and influenced by the opinion, I reversed my position with one click, causing my operation to distort. Now some positions have stopped out with losses, and although the remaining ones have stop losses set, they are stuck in a passive situation of holding on. #BTC冲高$87000,加密总市值重返3万亿 #美伊3小时会谈释放积极信号? $BTC #Can ordinary people earn pocket money with Bitcoin BTC?# Can ordinary people earn pocket money with Bitcoin? Yes, but don't expect too much. When most people hear "making money with BTC," their first thoughts are buying low and selling high, mining, or some kind of "passive interest earnings." For ordinary people, these paths either have high entry barriers, high risks, or the time cost and returns are simply disproportionate. More realistic ways include: getting paid with existing skills Writing, design, translation, editing, consulting—there are actually clients willing to pay in BTC. Through Lightning tips or direct invoicing, you effectively exchange your labor directly for Bitcoin. This is the cleanest and least likely to be exploited method. How much you earn depends on your skills, not the market. Everyday spending cashback Some credit cards or shopping cashback platforms reward in BTC. The amounts are small, more like "saving a little on the side," so don’t expect to pay rent with this. Referrals, content, small tasks Exchange invitations, writing educational content, creating graphics—sometimes you can get a little reward. Faucets and watching ads for satoshis usually pay very low hourly rates and are prone to phishing sites, making them very poor value. Not suitable for most ordinary people: mining yourself: electricity costs, equipment, and difficulty no longer suit small personal operations. Frequent trading: fees and emotional costs will eat up your pocket money first. Putting coins on platforms to earn interest: platform risks are real; these are not banks. Various "guaranteed returns" and "cloud mining profits": nine times out of ten, these are scams. In short, Bitcoin is more like an asset.$NEAR has doubled, and institutional money is still pouring in aggressively. NEAR's recent surge is really fierce, climbing from just over $2 all the way above $4. Bitwise's NEAR staking ETP asset size has also surpassed $100 million. At first glance, it looks like "institutions are starting to grab NEAR." But breaking down the numbers, it's not that simple — a significant portion of that $100 million actually comes from NEAR's own price increase, and the ETP shares haven't surged correspondingly recently. However, the market's willingness to put NEAR back into the "institutional allocation" basket itself is a change. Europe already has NEAR staking ETPs, the US is pushing forward with NEAR ETFs, and recently tokenized stock ecosystems have been integrated. Previously, people speculated on NEAR mostly based on the chain and narrative. Now some are calculating it differently: if institutional products really keep attracting capital, could NEAR gradually transform from a "highly volatile altcoin" into an asset that institutional funds can allocate? If you're interested in NEAR, focus on real capital, not AUM numbers. It's easy for AUM to rise with the coin price; sustained share growth is the real buying pressure.Last night, he was still accumulating chips at the long position table. 112 million long orders, 8455 taken profit, 8.38 million profit in hand. This morning, reversed at 85994, 500 short orders, 43.31 million staked. On the same stretch, he goes back and forth eating. From 8455 to 85994, 1539 dollars, not a market giveaway, but his conviction that there is one last bite above. As for me, I stand against the direction. He flips for profit, I hold the position with unrealized loss. If this wave of short orders gets swept, will he turn to go long again? Whales have no faith, only the next bite. #加密总市值重返2.8万亿美元 #ZEC巨鲸3.8万枚空单平仓,亏损超3500万美元 #SOL延续涨势,资金与链上需求共振 $BTC #BTC has been charted as a bullish Quasimodo, but the biggest issue with pattern analysis is: anyone can draw a nice-looking chart before it's complete. The $82,400 breakout is real, but a pullback to $68K–$70K is just one possibility. If the price doesn't pull back and goes straight up, this pattern becomes invalid; if it breaks below $68K, the pattern also fails. Patterns can be referenced, but they shouldn't be treated as a script. $100K is a wish, not a target. $ZEC Wall Street's shelves have freed up another layer for it, and the coin price has hit a new high again. Reaching this level with new channels opening up indicates that the money hasn't fully arrived yet; it's the shelves that are running short first. 1. 21Shares on European shelves: Physical ZEC ETP listed on Amsterdam and Euronext Paris exchanges, with a 2.5% fee. Another incremental channel opened besides the US ETF, lowering the threshold to buy ZEC even further. 2. Listed company narrative: Nasdaq-listed Cypherpunk brought mining veteran Amanda onto the board, the treasury increased holdings by over 3,000 ZEC, mining hashrate at 4.2 GSol/s. The listed company's balance sheet is starting to directly express a ZEC stance. 3. Thermometer: Up 94% in 30 days, one of the strongest double-level gains in a month.

Resistance above at 1750, but keep position size under 10%, it runs faster than anyone when the tide goes out, stop loss at 1400. $UNI Continues to Reach New Highs: First news: CME is preparing to launch UNI futures CME announced plans to launch Uniswap futures on October 19 (under review). This news means: UNI is beginning to enter the traditional institutional derivatives trading system. CME (Chicago Mercantile Exchange) is the world's largest and most strictly regulated derivatives exchange, and it is the main gateway for traditional Wall Street hedge funds, family offices, and large asset management institutions to participate in the crypto market. Previously, CME's derivatives matrix almost exclusively served BTC and ETH. UNI becoming the first decentralized finance application layer token to enter the CME compliant derivatives market marks Wall Street's traditional compliant capital's full recognition of Uniswap's position in the global financial infrastructure. Before, UNI was mostly: DeFi → DEX → Liquidity Now there is an additional layer: UNI → Institutional Derivatives → CME Second news: Arc protocol fee governance Uniswap has already launched on Circle's Arc mainnet: Currently, an extended governance vote on protocol fees is underway on Arc. On-chain voting will begin after September 18–23. This matter is more noteworthy for the UNI token itself than simply "Uniswap deploying to a new chain," because the governance proposal involves protocol fee collection and the UNI burn mechanism. #CME拟推BCH与UNI期货 #uni$BTC It is the cost of pricing regret$LIT Exchange Net Flow No new reliable custody data; The most recent verifiable data remains the net outflow of 78,641 LIT on 9/3 Vault Staking ~125M LIT (about 50% of circulating supply), 6% APR Strong lock-up (rewards include ~7.5M annual inflation) Protocol TVL ~$596–615M, still about 6–9% below the 9/4 peak of $655M 🔴 Mildly bearish billΞ.eth Associated Address 500K LIT ($2.07M) withdrawn on 9/14 with continuous monitoring showing no further activity, not deposited into CEX ⚪ Changed from mildly bearish to watch Other Whales CoinStats analysis this morning indicates Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) turning positive, with large wallets rotating positions to buy LIT, but no verifiable new large transaction details provided 🟢 Sentiment is bullish, but evidence strength is weak Buyback and Burn Cumulative 17.5M (7% of circulating supply); recent actual pace about 0.93M/month (928,000 in August), annualized about 11M, lower than July estimate 🔴 Deflationary pressure is relatively weak Yesterday's long position was stopped out, no avoidance, indeed a loss Day before yesterday's profit: +85,260U Yesterday's loss: -10,541U For BTC and ETH, if broken yesterday, just accept it, no waiting or holding on When the market pulls back, don't chase.

I've endured days like this. Now this $DOGE long position has profited more than tenfold. The market has answered that old question with results: the direction was right, and time is your ally. Dogecoin started as a joke and survived through rounds of community relay. Elon Musk endorsed it, retail investors recharged their faith, and it followed the market's ups and downs, being shorted countless times. Every pullback, someone declared the story over; every stabilization, the bulls came back to take the chips. After several cycles, those who held on have been rewarded. The difficulty in holding a position is not about being right, but about enduring. Margin call emails are not urging you to exit; they are asking if you still believe. Believers focus on direction, non-believers focus on volatility, and volatility does only one thing: transfer chips from the hesitant to the determined. Of course, being bullish doesn't mean stubbornly holding on. Leave room in your position, keep leverage at a level where you won't be woken up by emails at midnight, and first give yourself space to make mistakes before talking about results. The opponent of $DOGE bulls has never been the bears, but themselves who get off halfway. No matter how winding the road, if the direction is right, the destination remains unchanged.Oil prices fall for the second consecutive day: Brent crude drops below 100, Iran signals "willing to negotiate within a week," inflation alarm temporarily lifted If the sharp drop the night before last was somewhat emotional, last night was basically driven by fundamentals continuing to align International oil prices continued to decline on September 22 WTI closed down 1.24% at $94.59 Brent fell 1.09% to $99.25, once again breaking below the 100-dollar mark The catalyst was market news that Iran is willing to resume contact within a week after the US eases military pressure Supply side is also improving Saudi Arabia’s damaged oil pipeline repairs are faster than expected, quickly easing market panic over physical supply disruptions This is a solid positive for global risk assets Oil prices are the master switch for current inflation expectations; when they soften The market’s fear of further Fed rate hikes recedes, giving growth stocks room to perform The Nasdaq’s ability to hit new highs last night was supported by oil prices holding the floor Of course, the "easing" in the Middle East can flip faster than turning a page Whether negotiations within a week can truly materialize and whether the Strait of Hormuz remains stable are both uncertainties The more relaxed it is now, the more painful the reversals can be; oil prices must remain on the watchlistThe market over the past couple of days has somewhat proven the shorts wrong. BTC has retaken 85,000 in this wave, with ETF funds flowing back and short liquidations basically fueling the market while burning the shorts. ETH is even stronger, retaking 2,700, indicating that risk appetite among funds is indeed returning. But I still don't want to chase. In this kind of market, the most common scenario is that after shaking out the shorts, it turns around and harvests the longs. The market makers never play fair with you. So now I'm watching a few key levels: BTC at 82,000 — if it holds, the short-term bullish structure remains; if it breaks below 82,000, this rebound needs to be reassessed. On the upside, watch 87,000 and 89,000; only a solid break above 89,000 opens room for further gains. ETH at 2,680 is critical — if it holds, we continue to target 2,800; if it breaks below 2,680, the short-term strength starts to fade. Right now, I prefer to wait for the market to show its own direction rather than guessing what it will do next second. Not excited when it rises, not panicked when it falls, just execute when the levels are reached. The Nasdaq quietly hit a new high again, but the leader has changed: this time it's not Meta, but a collective uprising of the four storage giants. After a crazy Tuesday, the US stock market clearly took a breather last night, but the structure is very interesting. The three major indices diverged. The Nasdaq rose 0.45% to 27,244 points, once again setting a new closing record. The S&P closed flat, and the Dow fell 0.36%. Meta, which surged 11% the day before, gave back 0.63%, while Amazon and Microsoft dipped slightly. The real baton pass was to storage chips. SanDisk rose over 6%, Micron rose 5%, Western Digital and SK Hynix rose over 3%. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index rose more than 2%, Nvidia rose slightly by 0.66% to close at $228.87. AMD, which just broke the trillion-dollar mark, continued to fluctuate above the trillion-dollar line. The logic of the funds is very clear. The narrative "intelligent agents require massive computing power" sparked by Meta Muse is spilling over from CPUs to memory and HBM, the tightest bottleneck. After all, if an agent really runs tasks for you 7×24 hours, it consumes inference load, and storage is the first to run short. The index is flat, but individual stocks are hot, indicating the market is not broadly rising but carefully reallocating money. This kind of market tests stock picking the most; the phase of blindly buying beta may be over $TSLA Trump frequently supports Tesla, can it really drive the stock price to surge? Recently, Trump has repeatedly publicly endorsed Musk and made favorable remarks about Tesla, flooding the market. Many believe Tesla is about to start a big rally. But objectively speaking: Trump's statements can only drive short-term emotional pulses, not sustain medium- to long-term trend rallies. In the short term, Trump's public stance and calls for interest rate cuts can quickly boost market risk sentiment, attracting short-term funds to speculate, causing Tesla's stock price to rebound temporarily, which is a typical news-driven positive. But don't overestimate the value of political verbal statements. On one hand, campaign rhetoric is not the same as implemented policy; Trump's past attitudes toward new energy subsidies and electric vehicle regulations have been inconsistent, and verbal support lacks substantive policy backing. On the other hand, the core logic of Tesla's stock price is always its own fundamentals such as sales, gross margin, and FSD progress, not politicians' opinions. Besides, the cooperation between Trump and Musk is unstable, with multiple past disagreements, so market funds will not blindly bet long-term on this uncertain positive. In summary: short-term emotional trading can be speculated on, but don't rely on "political positives" for medium- to long-term dreams. Tesla's rise and fall ultimately depends on its own performance delivery ability. #BTC冲高$87000,加密总市值重返3万亿 Bitcoin has returned above $87,000, and the total crypto market cap has returned to $3 trillion. This trend doesn't seem like a rapid rebound driven solely by retail investor sentiment. What's even more noteworthy is the liquidity side: spot ETFs first saw brief net outflows, then recovered nearly $600 million. Large funds did not exit at relatively high levels but continued to buy shares, indicating they remain optimistic about the medium- to long-term trend. Although the growth in derivatives holdings is noticeable, it feels more like fuel for short squeezes. As prices keep rising, those trapped in short positions will feel increasingly uncomfortable, and concentrated liquidations may occur later. Right now, this is just the early stage of sentiment warming up, not yet at the peak of widespread excitement. Next, focus on Ethereum. Bitcoin has already opened its upper range, so as long as the market doesn't experience a sharp drop, the probability of ETH catching up is high. My position: If you miss BTC or ETH, don't chase; currently only keep DOGE long positions. The worst thing in a bull market is greed. If there is floating profit, move up to stop loss—protect your principal first, then discuss the layout; If you haven't entered, use small positions to test mistakes, and set your take-profit and stop-loss in advance. No matter how strong the market is, risk control always comes first. $BTC $ETH $DOGE #BTC冲高 $87,000, total crypto market cap returns to 3 trillion #AMD市值突破1万亿美元, chip stocks collectively surged, closing #ZEC巨鲸3 8,000 short positions, losses exceeding $35 million
