Key support has been broken. The VWAP anchored at the all-time high (ATH) has just been breached.
A new bull market is right ahead.
$BTC no longer asks for permission. This technical confirmation can separate noise from signal. When the price reclaims the anchored volume level traced back from the all-time high, it tells you that big money has returned to a sustained accumulation mode. $ETH
For long-term holders, this is a validation. Now is not the time to chase with leverage or panic buy. This is the time to hold steady, be patient, and let the market cycle do its work.
If you have been holding through the volatility, this is your reward. If you want to add positions, wait for a pullback to support—don’t FOMO (fear of missing out) just because of a breakout. The bull market will give you multiple entry opportunities and allow you to make smarter choices.
Macro is aligning, and technicals are confirming. $BTC is leading the way. Stay disciplined. $SOL $HYPE really made everyone uncomfortable before deciding to move.
we had the liquidity sitting below, price eventually came down and took it, then immediately started reclaiming levels.
The important part for me was $88-$90.
That was resistance before and now price is treating it like support.
Sometimes the best trade decision is not touching anything until the market comes back to your level.

#ZEC38KShortClosed We checked what the breakout actually brought with it. Baseline for every multiple below: the Friday median, Jul 24 to Sep 20. 🆕 Sep 18, the breakout day, gained close to 6%. New addresses that day came in at 1.00x. Active addresses, 1.00x. 📊 Social volume ran 1.23x and transactions above $100k ran 1.18x. Both lifted, neither reached its high for the window. 📈 Open interest rose 9% on Sep 18 and has held there since. 🧭 Aug 21 was also a Friday, and gained close to 7%. New addresses 1.07x, acI’m not sitting behind a trading desk every day. I’m out working, earning a little at a time, dealing with long days, bad weather and the reality that every bit of income has to be earned. Then you open crypto and see someone making in minutes what takes you weeks to earn. That feeling is powerful. ⚡ And honestly, sometimes it isn’t even about money anymore. It’s the adrenaline. Leverage goes up. The position moves. Your heart starts racing. Profit jumps in seconds. That dopamine can become addi😭BTC volume exploded and continues to rise, after touching 86351, first watch if 85847 can hold.
Yesterday opened at 81647, highest 81916, lowest 80133, closed at 80918, volume 270 million. Today opened at 80918, highest 86351, lowest 80588, current price around 85847. Volume 904 million, even more than Friday's 617 million.
Resistance is still between 85847–86351 above. Below, first watch 80588, if broken easily look at 80133.
Don't chase 86351 in the short term. For those already holding, watch if 80588 can hold; if not, reduce a bit. Volume has exploded, but if 86351 can't hold, reduce a bit first, then wait for the European and American sessions to see if 85847 can hold. $BTC $BTC just delivered a powerful bullish move, pushing toward $85K. After weeks of watching floating losses and waking up wondering whether the position would survive, today feels completely different. I’m finally sitting on a solid profit. 📈 But the best decision wasn’t holding blindly. When BTC pushed into the $84K area, I closed around half of my position and locked in the gains. That one move changed my entire mindset. My remaining position now has a much lower liquidation level, around $58K $BTC $ETH
Too many people watched Maji Big Brother's on-chain moves with sarcasm, thinking it was just another gambler chasing gains and selling lows. But true veterans never just look at direction; they break down structure.
The base position builds a trend base with long positions in BTC, ETH, and HYPE. The real trick lies in the upper resistance zone—2698-2727—placing short positions in batches for hedging. There's no gamble for a breakout, just waiting for the insertion pin to automatically trade, using short profits to buy insurance for the bulls.
When prices rise, the bottom position keeps flying; Fake breakout, short positions are taken to replenish losses. Being bullish doesn't mean going all in; the difference between fanaticism and faith lies in whether you have left yourself a backup plan.
The market has never been a one-sided ATM, but a balancing act of probability and risk control. Those who can leave with a smile don't rely on accurate predictions, but on having both hands.
#加密总市值重返2.8 trillion USD of my two favourite midcap bags, prob ENA has more juice here than NEAR, both chad founders
NEAR is still heavily a narrative bag and relies on intents blowing up (revenue is nice, not 5b mcap nice), the Hyperliquid confidential perps to take off, or agentic finance to finally take of
ENA USDe expansion is guaranteed as apes start longing again, neobank is best in the biz and will keep expanding, and the unlock overhang nearly finished.
Downside is that Arthur is shilling it again. Brothers, this market has me stunned, BTW this wave is just ridiculously extreme!
BTW has surged 644% from August until now, with the price shooting up from just over 0.1 to around 0.75, but that's not even the most exciting part—focus on the whales' moves!
Today, three new addresses showed exactly the same operation pattern: first withdrawing BNB from OKX as Gas, then immediately going to Gate to frantically withdraw BTW, cumulatively pulling out 15 million tokens in just 3 hours! One of these addresses even withdrew 5 million tokens in just 40 minutes and left. This level of skill clearly shows experienced players at work.
Even more outrageous is the mysterious entity from August 20th, which hoarded 150 million BTW back then, and now the unrealized profit is nearly $58.51 million! From just over 50 million to 112 million, this speed of making money would make even a money printer bow down.
But on the other hand, after more than a 6x increase, whales are still rushing to withdraw coins from exchanges—what earth-shattering good news could there possibly be?One small OKX change could matter more than today’s candle.
From Sep 22, OKX will gradually change how margin is calculated for futures in hedge mode.
Instead of adding long + short margin requirements, the system will use the higher of the two.
That can reduce margin usage for hedged positions.
Most traders will watch price.
I’d watch how this changes capital efficiency.The story of UNI may not have reached its climax yet.
Let's look at two data points:
UNI's FDV is about $8.6 billion, with revenue of about $3.07 million in the last 7 days.
HYPE's FDV is about $91 billion, with revenue of about $14.39 million in the last 7 days.
The former's valuation is less than one-tenth of the latter's, yet its revenue is about one-fifth. The valuation discount is much greater than the revenue discount.
More importantly, HYPE's narrative mainly anchors on perpetual contracts, while UNI connects a broader on-chain asset exchange network. If stocks, RWA, stablecoins, etc., accelerate on-chain, the demand for trading, liquidity, and clearing will expand simultaneously, and DEXs are the underlying entry point. As a leading protocol in this sector, UNI naturally inherits this incremental growth.
Therefore, measuring UNI should not only focus on current fees but also consider how much liquidity dividend it can capture after on-chain financial expansion. The SEC's push for traditional assets on-chain may just be the prologue. If the trend materializes, the $8.6 billion FDV might just be a figure under the old coordinate system.
UNI's revaluation may still be ahead. 🔷 $ETH vs $POL and $SOL: the LST battle
📋 Facts:
• stETH: 1% (2020) → 15% market share (2025); Polygon 0.5→12%, Solana 0.2→10%
• stETH supply: 10→50 million ETH
• Lido/Rocket Pool — key protocols
• LST = yield without liquidity loss
🧠 LST is a second layer of money on top of PoS. ETH’s 15% leadership is not marketing but maturity (stETH = the base collateral of DeFi). Polygon/Solana are catching up fast, but their LST is younger and riskier. Money works on the second layer.
⚠️ Double risk: smart contract and depeg. 🔥 $BTC / $ETH / $SOL | THREE DIFFERENT PROBLEMS
$BTC turns monetary policy into protocol logic, giving the network predefined rules for new issuance.
$ETH turns application logic into blockchain infrastructure, allowing contracts to execute rules around digital assets.
$SOL turns performance into a design priority, aiming to keep transaction-heavy applications responsive under demand.
#CryptoCapReclaims2.8T #ZEC38KShortClosed SOL's move today has another side to it.
More than $18M in SOL short positions were reportedly liquidated as the price pushed higher.
That matters because forced buying can make a rally look much stronger, much faster.
So my question isn't just:
“Can SOL go higher?”
It's:
“How much real demand remains after the short squeeze?”
That's what I'm watching next.
#SOL #Solana #Trading #OKX SOL just crossed above $116.
What caught my attention isn't only the price.
It's how quickly the momentum accelerated once $110 gave way.
Short positions were liquidated, which added fuel to the move.
Now comes the interesting part:
Can SOL hold the strength after the squeeze cools down?
I’d rather watch the reaction than chase the candle.
#SOL #Solana #Crypto #OKX $SOL, $ZEC, $ARB
A mixed bag is not a hedge.
$SOL, $ZEC, and $ARB look like three different stories: speed, privacy, and scaling.
In a risk-off tape, stories get ignored. Liquidity gets priced first.
$ARB still sits inside Ethereum risk.
$SOL still sits inside crypto beta.
$ZEC can decouple, then snap back when the whole market sells.
Different narratives. Same exit door.

#ZEC38KShortClosed BTC's spike to 86137 today has surpassed 85325 again, this surge is quite strong.
Yesterday's low was 80133, high was 81916, closing at 80918. Today opened near 80918, reached a high of 86137, low of 80588, current price around 85939. Volume ratio has increased compared to yesterday, those following the upward move are still present, but the high level is starting to wobble.
The 86137 level above is new resistance; above that is the high point at 126200. If the 80588 support below breaks, it’s likely to test 80133 first; if that support also fails, the short term may look for space down to 76258.
In the short term, watch if the current price around 85939 can hold. If it can’t hold, consider it a pullback after the spike and don’t chase at this price. For those already holding, watch if the low at 80588 today can hold; if not, consider reducing positions. For those looking to buy the dip, wait for a pullback and see if it can break past 86137 before considering, don’t catch a falling knife mid-air. $BTC Analysis: Why has Backpack suddenly attracted market attention?
The core of this piece is about one thing—the competition in tokenized stocks has shifted from "who issues more" to "who has better liquidity."
Bp only accounts for 5% of the supply in Solana's tokenized stock market but takes up 73% of the DEX trading volume. Why? Because it uses propAMM (proprietary automated market maker model), which provides deeper liquidity and narrower spreads. Simply put, the trading experience is better, so capital naturally flows here.
Currently, its trading volume is highly concentrated in popular assets like SPCX and MU. SpaceX is not publicly listed, so ordinary investors can't buy it. Therefore, any platform that can offer on-chain exposure to SPCX with liquidity naturally attracts people. But conversely, once the popularity of these assets cools down, the trading volume will also drop.
Another key design is the redemption mechanism. Some tokenized stocks can be redeemed for the underlying assets according to rules, which adds an anchor to the on-chain price. If the price deviates too much, arbitrageurs will step in to pull it back. This fundamentally distinguishes it from pure Meme coins and synthetic assets.
My view: This sector is now moving from "concept" to "real trading." Solana has become the most active chain for tokenized stocks; low fees and high throughput are the foundation, but what really determines success is the liquidity structure. The Backpack case shows that whoever can enable buyers and sellers to transact with lower friction can retain capital.
#Solana主网提速，节点门槛会否上升？ 🟣 $ZEC｜The privacy narrative is undergoing a real market test
$ZEC is currently focused on more than just short-term price fluctuations; it’s about a more fundamental question: after the market hype cools down, will users still be willing to pay for private transactions?
📊 Key indicators to watch next:
🔹 Real usage rate — whether on-chain activity continues to grow
🔹 Liquidity — whether market depth can remain stable
🔹 Sustained demand — whether capital participation persists after price increases
🔹 Trading volume — whether it effectively aligns with price trends
If trading activity and actual usage increase alongside rising prices, the fundamental signals behind the rally will be more worthy of attention.
Conversely, if initial hype fades and trading volume shrinks rapidly, market momentum may also weaken significantly.
🧠 Privacy is the core narrative; adoption is the true validation.
#ZEC #Crypto #Privacy #Blockchain #CryptoCapReclaims2.8T #ZEC38KShortClosed #TrumpGulfIranTalksThe most expensive trade this cycle may not have been a bad entry but a patient one. Traders who anchored on $BTC returning to 50,000 for a clean bottom are still waiting while price holds above 81,000, with $ETH above 2,600 and $ZEC above 1,500. The discomfort is structural: a bid that never arrives forces either capitulation into strength or permanent exclusion. What changed beneath the surface? Rate expectations have largely been absorbed, sentiment has repaired, and tokenized-equity hopes arETH's spike to 2757 today has surpassed 2749 again, this surge is quite strong.
Yesterday's low was 2564, high was 2669, closing at 2613. Today opened near 2613, reached a high of 2757, low of 2607, current price around 2740. Volume ratio expanded compared to yesterday, those following the upward move are still in, but the high level has started to wobble.
The 2757 level above is new resistance; above that is the high point at 4946. If 2607 below breaks again, it’s likely to see 2564 first; if that level can't hold either, the short term may look for space down to 2437.
In the short term, watch if the current price around 2740 can hold. If it can't hold, treat this as a high point being digested, don't chase at this price now. For those already holding, watch if the low of 2607 today can support; if not, consider reducing positions; for those looking to buy, wait for a pullback and see if 2757 can't be surpassed before considering, don't catch a falling knife mid-air. $ETH 🚨 $UNI MAY BE ONE OF THE MOST MISPRICED DEX PLAYS RIGHT NOW.
Look at the numbers 👇
$UNI FDV: ~$8.6B
7D revenue: ~$3.07M
$HYPE FDV: ~$91B
7D revenue: ~$14.39M
That’s a 10x+ valuation gap, while the 7-day revenue gap is less than 5x.
And here’s the part I think the market may be overlooking:
$HYPE is heavily tied to perpetual trading.
$UNI is positioned around something much broader — on-chain trading, liquidity, and asset exchange.
#DailyOrbit
#CryptoCapReclaims2.8T A few days ago, people were still asking if $SOL could be saved, and now they’re starting to regret not buying more...
In the past few days, it has risen from around $97 to above $116. Calculated between these two price points, the rebound is nearly 20%.
Looking back now, anything below 100 was obviously cheap. But when it was at that level, all you saw were downward candlesticks, and who knew how long you’d have to hold through the grind after buying in.
I think the hardest part about holding SOL isn’t just losing a few points. It’s opening the market every day, seeing other coins moving while it shows little improvement, and slowly starting to doubt whether you made the right choice.
Then you want to switch coins. But before switching, you hesitate—what if it starts rising just after you leave?
I’m still willing to stay bullish on SOL, but whether it can continue depends on its actual performance.
I’d really like to hear from those holding SOL: with the recent rise, have you broken even, or did you already switch because you just couldn’t endure it anymore?The most unusual detail in today's market is not the price increase, but that the greed index has reached 70, yet $TAO has pushed the price up to near the Bollinger upper band at 292.5, with RSI hitting 74.4, and the funding rate still positive—both sentiment and leverage are overheated simultaneously, making chasing longs very low in cost-effectiveness under this structure. The amplitude of 30 K-lines is about 14.6%, volatility is high, meaning setting a stop loss within 3% is basically giving money away.
My bias remains bullish, but I only trade on pullbacks, not chasing highs. Entry reference is 286.5–289.8, which is the range between MA5 and the current price, because the bullish alignment is intact, MACD histogram +1.652 is still expanding, and a pullback that does not break MA5 indicates effective support. Take profit 1 is at 292.5, the Bollinger upper band, where the first touch likely faces selling pressure; take profit 2 is at 298, based on the measured extension after breaking the upper band. Stop loss is set at 279.5, about 2.5% below MA5; breaking this means short-term moving averages are lost and the bullish logic is invalid.
Worst-case scenario: if the funding rate continues to rise but the price stagnates, it can easily trigger a long squeeze. If the close breaks below 279.5, you must exit unconditionally—do not use "long-term optimism" as an excuse. Also watch $PEPE and $SOL during this period; their RSIs are 90.3 and 82.2 respectively, more overbought than $TAO. In terms of relative strength, $TAO is actually the most stable of the three, but if they crash sharply, they will drag down overall sentiment.
(Personal opinion for reference only, not investment advice.)🧊 Smaller Bitcoin holders cracked before the breakout. This chart shows 62,335 wallets holding 0.1-1 BTC and 7,159 holding 1-10 BTC disappearing during the July-August shakeout, just before $BTC reclaimed $80K. 🐋 Capitulation can leave supply in stronger hands. Once fearful holders finish selling, less reactive supply remains available to dump into the next rally, especially when larger buyers keep absorbing coins. 🚀 Bitcoin has now broken above $85K for the first time since January. A massiv$ETH current price is 2762.63, running right along the upper Bollinger Band at 2763.02. This is the current dividing line between bulls and bears: holding above opens up upside space, while resistance leads to a pullback to MA5 at 2738.44 to confirm support.
From the funding perspective, the funding rate of +0.0092% is a mild positive, indicating longs are paying to hold positions but it’s far from an extreme crowded situation; leveraged longs are not out of control yet. The 24h trading volume is 1351.0M USDT with a +5.83% price increase, showing volume and price are advancing in sync. The moving average structure MA5>MA20 forms a bullish alignment, MACD histogram at +6.678 maintains bullish momentum, and the trend direction is undisputed. The real risk lies in the RSI at 78.6—already in the overbought zone, combined with a Fear & Greed Index of 70 (greed), the cost-effectiveness of chasing higher prices is declining. The 30 K-line amplitude is about 7.16%, meaning there is enough room for spikes; near the upper band, rapid pullbacks and stop-loss sweeps are likely, with liquidation pressure concentrated on high-leverage long positions chasing the rally.
Operationally, the bias is bullish but waiting for a pullback, not chasing the upper band. Entry reference is 2735–2745 (resonance between MA5 and previous breakout level); Take profit 1 at 2795 (first target of the expanded upper Bollinger Band); Take profit 2 at 2850 (round number resistance and amplitude extension); Stop loss at 2705 (breaking below MA5 and losing the structure above MA20, invalidating the bullish logic).The most unusual detail in today's market is not the price increase, but the funding rate: $WIF pulled up 23.43% in 24 hours, yet the funding rate is only +0.0009%, almost flat near zero. The price hit a new high for nearly 30 candlesticks, RSI surged to 86.8, but the bulls are unwilling to pay for holding positions, indicating this rally is driven more by shorts passively covering and spot buying rather than a flood of leveraged funds. In this structure, spikes often occur at the densest areas of chasing highs.
From a technical perspective, MA5=0.23304 is clearly above MA20=0.211575, MACD histogram +0.004679 maintains bullishness, so the trend is intact; however, the upper Bollinger Band at 0.239678 has been breached by the current price of 0.2471, with a 30-candle amplitude of 22.87%, typical of an overbought expansion. The Fear and Greed Index is 70, placing the market in a greedy zone, supporting further rallies but also implying a quick pullback. The core of the bulls vs bears battle is: there is no trapped position above the current price, but the 0.233–0.239 range below is a combined support zone of MA5 and the upper Bollinger Band; as long as this is not decisively broken, the bullish structure holds.
Directionally, I lean bullish but only trade on pullbacks, not chasing highs. Entry reference is the 0.233–0.239 range, justified by MA5 support combined with the upper Bollinger Band turning from resistance to support; Take profit 1 is at 0.258, corresponding to the previous high extension and inertia after overbought; Take profit 2 is at 0.272, calculated by equal amplitude projection. 🏛️ The House Financial Services Committee just voted 28-21 to advance the American Reserve Modernization Act

$HYPE was entered at 81.661 with 50x leverage. At that time, the price had just broken through the key resistance near $80, with volume increasing simultaneously. This was a directional choice after a long consolidation, with clear stop-loss and a very high risk-reward ratio, so the entry was decisive.
Now the price has reached 93.515, with an unrealized profit of +724.33%. The entire holding process was actually very dull, just waiting.

Bitcoin reclaimed $80K, but Friday carried most of the ETF momentum: spot BTC ETFs saw $433M in inflows, while the full week ended with just $6.2M net inflows.
The rebound is encouraging, but institutional demand still needs stronger confirmation.
If ETF inflows remain consistent beyond one strong session, the $80K recovery could gain more support.
#CryptoCapReclaims2.8T #ZEC38KShortClosed The market is generally strong today, but each of the three coins has its own story.
$BTC 85,976, up 6.3%. Institutional continuous buying is the main theme, and the Strategy add position signal is still active. The short-term hurdle is $89K-$94K, where whales have placed short orders to hedge, so don't rush too hard.
$ETH 2759, up 5.9%. Today's rise is stronger than many expected. Underlying protocol security is advancing, institutional infrastructure is gradually being implemented, and the mid-term logic is sound. A few days ago, some were bearish, and the price responded directly.
$ZEC 1497, up 3.8%. The privacy sector is the most noteworthy today. Short position liquidations plus mining companies going public on the US stock market are two catalysts combined, causing capital to start repricing this sector.
Fear and Greed Index at 70, greedy but not extreme. The market has momentum, so keep the rhythm steady. The ZEC line can continue to be followed.
#ETH冲高2700美元，质押与资金面现分化

However, this still remains far from the frothy levels we saw near the BTC top.
Perp speculation also remains muted with funding below neutral.Today's rally has an interesting detail:
A huge amount of short positions were liquidated as BTC moved higher.
That can make a rally move much faster than normal.
So I'm asking myself:
How much of today's momentum is new demand,
and how much came from forced buying?
The next few sessions could tell us a lot.38,000 ZEC short positions were all closed before 10 AM today.
Garrett Jin smashed them out on Hyperliquid over 1.5 hours using market orders, pushing ZEC from 1490 to 1530, a 2.7% increase. During this period, the funding rate annualized once surged above 170%.
What's interesting is the losing position. The average entry price for this order was $656, closed at $1459, resulting in a loss of 35.44 million for 38,000 ZEC. But at the same time, he held 202,000 ZEC spot without moving a single coin. The cost was 437, and at 1530, the unrealized profit is 220 million.
This is not called surrender. This is called insurance expiration, so it was withdrawn.
The NU7 timeline is also set: testnet activates on October 6, mainnet activation height will be finalized after performance evaluation on October 20, and mainnet launches on November 5. Block time is reduced from 75 seconds to 25 seconds, tripling the speed.
Shorts closed, price didn’t drop. The shorts at this level were never betting on direction. They were just deleveraging hedge positions. The rest are those holding spot without letting go.
I didn’t chase. But watching the biggest short being lifted by its own stop-loss order, it’s honestly frustrating.

Price can move in hours.
A trading plan shouldn't.2026-09-21 Evening Report (Information as of 23:49)
The market suddenly accelerated late at night, with Bitcoin breaking through $86,000.
The strongest push came from a short squeeze. Across the entire network, shorts worth $648 million were liquidated in 24 hours, with Bitcoin alone accounting for $360 million (Decrypt). At the European market open, Binance's one-hour order consumption surged from $11 million to over $600 million, with forced buy liquidations driving this rally.
Off-exchange large funds are also moving:
MicroStrategy resumed buying 950 BTC (worth $75.7 million) after a three-week pause, bringing total holdings to 846,000 BTC (The Block).
Tom Lee's Bitmine purchased over 27,000 ETH (about $74 million), stating that institutions are still significantly underallocated (CoinDesk).
The European Central Bank launched the Pontes platform, directly settling tokenized assets using central bank digital currency (CoinDesk), bypassing stablecoins to build its own clearing network.
In short, this is a concentrated short squeeze fueled by "short squeeze fuel + institutional spot buying." Scenario A: If Bitcoin holds above $85,000, capital may continue to spill over to SOL, which rose nearly 9% today, and SUI, which broke $1. Scenario B: If liquidity from forced liquidations is exhausted overnight, the Asian morning session may face profit-taking.
Next to watch: MicroStrategy's premium rate during the US stock market sessionBTC and ETH Are Telling Different Parts of the Story
$BTC is still the market’s main liquidity signal. $ETH, meanwhile, shows whether that liquidity is spreading into the broader ecosystem.
When BTC holds its structure while ETH starts gaining strength with improving volume, market breadth is getting healthier. If ETH keeps lagging despite BTC strength, that tells a different story.
The next thing I’d track is ETH relative strength against BTC.

This wave truly shows that "Chinese people can fly." But the higher you fly, the harder you fall. For projects with public blockchains about to shut down, tokens still float in the sky—this isn't called taking off, it's the last firework set off by the market makers. Operate first: short-term selling, 2 to 3x leverage, take short positions at 0.00515 to 0.00525 in batches, stop loss at 0.00585 above previous highs, target 0.00430 to pocket, then bet on 0.00360 if it falls below it. The logic of this order isn't to go against the trend, but to side with common sense: the project team is preparing to pack up and leave, but the token has increased ninefold in a week. This disconnected rally follows sentiment, not fundamentals. No matter how big the name is written, it can't save a project preparing to flee. Whoever takes the last blow stands guard; chasing the high feels good for a moment, then standing guard in the crematorium. $ONE These seven days are a script for crypto-level monster coins.

On the 15th, it was even worse, shrinking to 540,000 USD, a drop of 5.76%, and it looked like it was about to die out along with its projects. But on the 16th, it surged +99.75%, doubling in a single day, with trading volume suddenly skyrocketing to 94.43 million USD, a sharp increase of 100% from the previous dayDidn't they say the bull was gone? How did the bull come back again?
I'm neither cutting losses nor adding positions.
It's so frustrating; the profits I made earlier are about to be given all back.
$ETH This wave has also made the shorts quite uncomfortable.
My short position average price is 2640, now it's been pulled up to around 2740. The 1-hour moving averages are all upward, short-term bulls still dominate.
Next, watch 2755–2760; if it breaks through here, the short pressure will increase; if it can't break through and falls back to 2700–2680, then there's a chance to turn weak again.
Right now, I don't even dare to think about adding positions. With 75x leverage, if the direction is wrong, you can still adjust, but once the position is maxed out, there's little room to maneuver.
$ZEC is actually starting to weaken, now around 1490, the price has fallen below the 1-hour short moving average. If 1490 doesn't hold, then look around 1440 below.
The profits made earlier have already started to be given back; this is the time when trading rhythm is easiest to get messed up.
First, hold your position, then watch the key levels.
The market can fluctuate, judgments can be revised, but you must always leave yourself a chance to make a move again.

#ZEC巨鲸3.8万枚空单平仓，亏损超3500万美元 For this ETH trade, it just dropped back below 2600 earlier, and I even breathed a sigh of relief, but then it turned around and went up to 2747.07. I was happy too soon 🥲 The short position opened at 2510.83, and the page shows this contract’s floating profit and loss rate at -940.88%, still not closed.
From the short seller’s perspective, what I’m still worried about is whether the buying pressure can continue. From September 14 to 18, the US ETH spot ETF had a net outflow of about $141 million, but on the 18th it turned into a net inflow of about $144 million. Shorts did have a funding basis, but the latest changes can’t be ignored just because they’re unfavorable to me.
What I should be asking now is: if I keep looking bearish based on ETF outflows, but the price keeps going up, maybe this indicator alone isn’t enough to support my judgment? The redemptions that have already happened won’t turn back into selling pressure every day. What I want to wait for is the subsequent buying pressure weakening again, but I can’t write “it has already weakened” as “I hope it weakens.”
Looking at the position again, compared to before, the number of short contracts hasn’t decreased, the margin has increased, and the estimated liquidation price has moved up to 3050. The margin increase can buffer, but the liquidation price will still change; it’s not a pre-set stop loss. The price isn’t moving in the direction I want, but the range I can tolerate has actually expanded first, and that’s what makes me most cautious.
If every time things go against me I just add margin, the exit condition for this trade can easily change from “judging when my view is invalid” to “how much more margin the account can add.” Originally, it was just a short-term pullback, no need to turn it into a battle of who can endure the market longer.This morning, Garrett Jin officially closed his nearly three-month $ZEC short position. He directly liquidated 38,000 ZEC shorts at market price, briefly pushing the price from $1490 to $1530, and Hyperliquid's funding rate was once pulled above an annualized 170%.
What does an annualized 170% mean? Going long on ZEC now is basically paying the shorts' salary.
This position lasted almost three months, and the short ultimately lost about $35 million. But the key is he hasn't sold a single ZEC spot coin he holds. Currently, ZEC's spot price is around $1,500, up about 5% in 24 hours, with a market cap of approximately $25 billion.
The previously speculated futures-spot hedge has basically been confirmed: shorts lose money, spot holders benefit from the rise, and overall, the spot side is likely the winner.
Now that the short position has been closed but the spot coins remain, Garrett is effectively in a naked long position. How ZEC moves next depends on how he manages this spot holding.

#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 To be honest, I’ve been thinking about the Arc chain, and it’s kind of interesting, but it might just be so-so.
Circle is behind it, with a native stablecoin design that uses USDC to pay gas fees instead of ARC. This design is pretty smart — costs are priced in USD, so usage isn’t affected by token price fluctuations. But it’s clearly aimed at institutions, not retail traders.
The ARC token isn’t a gas token; it’s called a coordination asset. No matter what you use to pay fees, it ultimately gets converted into ARC, with some distributed to validators and some burned. So whether ARC is valuable depends on actual transaction volume on Arc, not on people buying tokens out of faith.
There’s a supply of 10 billion: 60% for the ecosystem, 25% for Circle, and 15% reserved. Inflation starts at 2 to 3%, and later they want to offset it with burning. Whether that works depends on if Circle can channel USDC payment flow onto Arc. If they can’t, there will be supply but no demand.
Governance is currently controlled by Circle, but will gradually be handed over to stakers. Early on it’s highly centralized but pragmatic.
Don’t expect a pump in the short term. Long term depends on real financial activity and ecosystem growth. I’m still observing; this is not investment advice.
#Circle稳定币公链Arc上线 Why would a coin with a market cap of less than 20 million suddenly see hundreds of millions in daily volume?
$ONE has a circulating market cap of only about 23 million USD, yet its 24-hour trading volume is more than twice its market cap, with a volume-price ratio exceeding 200%, purely speculative short-term control.
I took a long position at 0.004166 with 10x leverage to ride this extreme volatility.
The mark price rose to 0.0053029, with an unrealized profit of 272.87%.
The 4-hour RSI once surged to 90, indicating severe overbought conditions; volume exploded on the rise and shrank on the pullback, showing a clear distribution pattern.
The frenzy of small-cap coins is the most dangerous, as it can be ended at any moment by a single spike.
$BTC $ETH #加密总市值重返2.8万亿美元 Today's market is a perfect reminder of why I don't trade headlines alone.
Macro pressure was still there.
Regulatory uncertainty didn't magically disappear.
Yet crypto rallied sharply.
So instead of asking:
“Is the news bullish or bearish?”
I'm asking:
“How did the market react to the news?”
Sometimes the reaction tells you more than the headline.🔥SanDisk enters the S&P 100, ETH surges past 2700+, one in the US stock market, the other in the crypto space. They seem unrelated, but the underlying logic is quite similar!
📈$SNDK officially joined the S&P 100 today. After the index adjustment, passive funds tracking the related index will allocate according to the rules, and the market will trade in anticipation of this. SanDisk's recent strength is not just due to the index factor; AI storage demand is also an important background. (marketscreener.com)
🔒Looking at $ETH, the logic is completely different but also involves "circulating supply." A large amount of ETH entering the staking system means the short-term freely circulating supply decreases, naturally increasing price sensitivity to new buying pressure.
🚀This explains why ETH's price has still been able to break through 2700 following the broader market, even though the funding side hasn't been consistently strong recently. The market trades not only on news but also on chip structure and supply-demand relationships. (coinpaper.com)
🧠One is passive allocation driven by index funds, the other is chip locking caused by staking—the markets and mechanisms differ, but both ultimately point to the same issue: changes in circulating chips lead to changes in price elasticity.
⚠️Of course, supply contraction does not mean prices only rise without falling. What truly determines whether the trend can continue is whether there is sustained new buying pressure afterward.
👇#加密总市值重返2.8万亿美元 #SEC代币化股票创新豁免落地，UNI盘中涨超21% Who was it that said to wait until 50,000 to bottom-fish $BTC? Step forward!
Watching it rise while holding an empty position feels really awkward. BTC is over 81,000, ETH over 2,600, and ZEC over 1,500 now. I used to think about bottom-fishing BTC at 50,000, but now it's time to take some profits. Waiting stubbornly for 50,000 when it's already at 80,000 is basically just fighting with yourself.
The market standing above 81,000 likely means the rate hikes have been digested, sentiment is warming up, plus some expectations for tokenized stocks. It’s not like it just took off, but it’s also not about to crash in half for a bargain.
The ETF has paid out, and the top is near previous highs, more like grinding upward. If you’re afraid of missing out on the market, I’d watch it first; if you want to vent frustration, its rise isn’t satisfying enough. ETH basically follows BTC, with a bit more volatility, but it lacks its own story. It’s fine as a follower, but not qualified to be the main player this round.
ZEC is the most eye-catching. The ETF launched, institutions named it, block production sped up, halving is still ahead, and shorts got squeezed again. It can multiply several times in a month. The story and trend are still there, but it’s already pulled up quite high, so corrections come fast. Chasing it empty-handed is the most satisfying but also the easiest way to buy at the peak. The fattest gains are already behind. If I were to act, I’d try a small position, wait for a pullback, and never chase all three together. Position sizing is more important than guessing ups and downs: BTC as the base, a bit of ETH following, and ZEC just a token gesture. Watch the market, not your emotions. One thing I learned today:
Short sellers can become fuel for a rally.
When price moves against heavily leveraged shorts, forced liquidations can create even more buying pressure.
That's why a sudden vertical move doesn't always mean new long-term demand appeared instantly.
Sometimes leverage is helping push the market.
Important difference.Something interesting happened today:
BTC pushed higher and a large amount of short positions were liquidated.
That means part of the move wasn't simply fresh buying.
Forced buying from liquidations can accelerate a rally.
So now I'm asking:
What happens when the forced buyers disappear?
That's the part I want to watch next.
