$HOME There are still so many stubborn people who dare to short the market?
I analyzed it and found that this coin is not suitable for short selling for now.
The reason is, on one hand, it doesn't require much capital to move it. The buy order at 12:30:18 noon can be verified: just a 500,000 yuan purchase instantly pushed the price up 18.66%. How many people managed to withstand it?
Secondly, the funding fee is currently -1%, meaning the short positions are extremely crowded. A rally will cause many liquidations, and even without raising the funding fee, a lot of liquidation can be consumed.
If another buy worth hundreds of thousands appears, the price increase would be unimaginable.
So, personally, I'd rather miss out than short in many unfavorable short positions.A 30% chance is affecting 100% of emotions
This is the most interesting thing about CLARITY right now
Everyone is no longer just discussing whether the bill will pass. Rather: Has the market already traded in advance and won't get past it? On Polymarket, the pass probability dropped from 80%+ all the way down to around 30%.
Then something very interesting happened:
Media cited this number, KOLs discussed it, and the market began to believe it—"Everyone thought it was hopeless."
When an expectation forms, behavior changes accordingly. Probability decreases → Focus decreases → Probability continues to decline
A typical emotional cycle. At this point, what exactly is the prediction market?
Is it a mirror for observing the future? Or is it a force that influences the future?
When a probability can be traded by money, it may be more than just prediction,
It could also become the narrative itself.
If 30% of the probability has already started to determine 100% sentiment, is it "predicting the future" or "creating the future"?From rate cut expectations to rate hike concerns, the Fed's divide is widening—can the crypto market continue to rise?
Recently, there has been a noticeable change in the market:
In the past, investors have been trading "Fed rate cuts."
But now, voices about whether to continue maintaining high interest rates, or even reconsider raising rates, are beginning to grow.
Internal divisions within the Federal Reserve over the future interest rate path are widening.
This has also restarted the global market's focus on one issue:
Is the U.S. economy cooling down, or is it still strong enough to require higher interest rates to suppress it?
This answer will also directly affect crypto assets like BTC, ETH, and SOL.
For the past two years, the Fed has focused on one core goal:
Controlling inflation.
Since 2022, the Federal Reserve has launched an aggressive rate hike cycle, with the federal funds rate rising rapidly from nearly 0% to the 5.25%-5.50% range.
In a high interest rate environment, global funding costs are rising, and risk assets are being significantly suppressed.
Including:
Technology stocks.
Growth stocks.
Cryptocurrency.
Subsequently, as inflation gradually declined, the market began betting on rate cuts in advance.
Capital has reflowed into risk assets, and Bitcoin has also benefited from ETF inflows and institutional allocation.
But now, the market logic has changed.
On one hand, the U.S. economy remains resilient.
There has been no significant deterioration in the job market.
Consumer data remains strong.
On the other hand, the pace of inflation decline does not fully align with market expectations.
This has made some investors worried:
If the economy hasn't slowed significantly, why is the Fed in such a hurry to cut rates?
Some even began to discuss:
Is there a possibility of further rate hikes in the future?
This shift in expectations has a very direct impact on the crypto market.
Because crypto essentially relies on global liquidity.
When the market believes in rate cuts:
Dollar liquidity improved.
Funding costs decrease.
Investors are willing to take on higher risks.
Assets like BTC, ETH, and SOL typically benefit.
But if the market resumes trading "higher interest rates for longer," risk appetite will decline.
Currently, Bitcoin's price is fluctuating around $62,000.
After BTC failed to break through the $65,000 area, it entered a correction.
In the long term, ETF funds and institutional allocation remain important support.
However, short-term trends are still affected by the macro environment.
If the market regains concerns about the Fed's hawkish stance, BTC may continue to test:
Support area between $60,000 and $62,000.
If rate cut expectations heat up again, Bitcoin may once again challenge:
Resistance near $65,000.
Ethereum is currently priced around $1850.
Compared to BTC, ETH is more sensitive to liquidity.
Because the development of the Ethereum ecosystem requires financial support from the environment.
RWA。
Stablecoins.
DeFi。
Layer2。
These directions all depend on active market capital.
If high interest rates persist for longer, ETH may continue to face short-term pressure.
Current key positions:
Around $1800.
SOL is currently fluctuating around $70.
Over the past year, Solana attracted massive capital thanks to its Meme ecosystem, low fees, and high transaction speed.
But SOL is also a typical high-risk asset.
When market sentiment is good, funds tend to chase SOL.
However, when liquidity tightens, volatility becomes more pronounced.
My viewpoint:
The biggest change in the market now is the shift from "definite rate cuts" to a "cycle of uncertain interest rates."
This is a repricing for all risk assets.
The crypto market needs to watch next:
Federal Reserve's stance.
Inflation data.
Employment data.
US dollar movement.
BTC is watching support at $62,000.
ETH is focusing on the $1800 defense.
SOL is watching the $70 area.
If the Fed gradually shifts toward easing and the liquidity environment improves, the crypto market may usher in a new upward window.
But if the high interest rate cycle is extended, the market will still face pressure.
In the next phase, it's not just about the story.
It's about who can get real funding in a complex liquidity environment. $BTC $ETH 8.4行情分析（全网最细）
回顾一下昨天的行情，ETH在下探到1827开始收针企稳，随后美股开盘迎来放量拉升，美股高开带动了大饼的同步拉升，闪迪更是涨了200点，给足了市场信心，行情真的反转了吗？
目前从盘面来看eth上方压力位依然很明显，1880-1900没有突破上去，一切都是假象，吸引散户做多罢了，九月的加息事件，8月的CLARITY法案，随便一件都能够让ETH喝一壶的，再加上地缘冲突时不时的释放利空消息，简单来说就是eth要上1900，那么肯定会深度下探清掉大部分多单筹码，车太重！
凡哥日内还是看空为主，上方阻力位太强，4小时线多针上攻未能突破，当前位置1865附近可轻仓进空，第一目标看1810！
#从降息到加息，联储分歧全公开 BTC/GOLD bullish divergence has been officially confirmed, similar to the stage at the end of 2022.
The only uncertainty is whether there will be a violent shakeout in the next four months. In theory, what happened with FTX is unrepeatable, but recently many third-tier exchanges have gone bankrupt, and second-tier exchanges are also struggling...
At the same time, there is still a possibility of deleveraging in the US market, so overall, the so-called "final drop" or "ultimate shakeout" can still be expected...
My approach is to divide the funds used for bottom-fishing in this bear market into at least two parts: 50% will remain, and the remaining 50% will continue to be invested until early next year.
If there is no final drop, at least you can get relatively cheap chips at the low end of the range. If it does, then 50% of the funds will immediately buy the dip.
Either scenario is unlikely to be regretted in the next bull market.A few bullish candlesticks do not mean a new bull market has begun. Currently, market sentiment has clearly improved, with funds flowing back into risk assets, but prices remain near key resistance zones. Chasing the rise blindly before confirming a breakout often makes it easy to fall victim to short-term pullbacks. 📊 Midday Market Watch: Overnight, global financial markets overall continued risk appetite. 🇺🇸 The three major U.S. stock indices rose together, with AI and large tech stocks continuing to be the main themes in the market. 🌏 Most Asian stock markets closed higher, with Japan, South Korea, and Hong Kong markets performing relatively strongly, and investor risk appetite rebounding. 📰 Today's Market Focus • The market continues to monitor the upcoming U.S. employment data this week to gauge the Fed's future rate cut pace. • The US dollar index remains volatile, with funds continuing to monitor the impact of the dollar's movements on the crypto market. • International crude oil prices fluctuated slightly, and the situation in the Middle East could still affect the global energy market. • The flow of funds for US spot Bitcoin ETFs remains a key market focus, and whether institutional funds continue to flow in will affect short-term market trends. Overall, market sentiment is recovering, but there are still many uncertainties in the macro environment. 🟠 Bitcoin ($BTC) BTC is challenging a key resistance zone near $66,000. 📈 If it successfully breaks above 66K and holds above 66K, the next target could be $67,800–$68,500, and bullish sentiment in the market is expected to heat up further. 📉 If the breakout fails, $64,800 will be reached Today's most likely to break out isn't a bear market, nor a bull market.
They are those who immediately maxed out leverage after seeing a surge in US stocks.
Let's start with the stock market
$QQQ climbed to around 700, $NVDA rose to 206, and tech stocks rebounded across the board, boosting market sentiment. But $AAPL is still falling, which shows this isn't a blind broad rally; it's funds picking the right direction, not blindly buying.
First level: Look at $BTC
$BTC Currently around 63,700, intraday it has risen from 62,227 to 63,996. This bullish candle has indeed shown strong recovery strength. But 64,000 has not truly reached the top yet.
Today, the highest probability of contract liquidation is around 64,000. Once they hold firm, the bears will continue to suffer; If you can't hold your ground and chase long moves, you're the first to get washed out. Once it falls back below 63,000, high-leverage long positions will be the first to encounter trouble.
Second level: Look at $ETH
$ETH is still around 1865, and the problem is obvious—$BTC has recovered to a high level, but $ETH hasn't caught up with strength. From 1880 to 1890, it failed to rise, and Erbing remained weak. Once $BTC surges and then retreats, $ETH and altcoins are very likely to be carried downward.
Third layer: Watching mainstream knockoffs
$SOL Still around 73, didn't take 78, and the high beta didn't really ignite the attack. $BNB Rebound to around 582, before 600 passes, don't overfill mainstream positions. $LINK, $AAVE, $UNI focus on DeFi; $WLD, $TAO, $KAITO look at AI; $ZEC, $HYPE, $ENA focus on rotation rhythm. All of these are worth watching, but don't bet on a bullish candlestick with a 50x multiplier.
Fourth level: Viewing the Demon Coin Table
$GIGGLE、$BEAT、$LAB、$RAVE、$HOME、$LIGHT、$PEOPLE、$OFC、$AEVO、$GRVT。
The person with the highest probability of liquidation today is this table of high-multiples chasing gains.
US stocks are booming, $BTC is rallying, group chats start showing earnings, and someone made 100,000 U from a single order. This is when it's easiest to get carried away—20x is too slow, 50x is just right, and 100x is like turning things around. But the trickster coin is best at one thing: first borrow the momentum of the $BTC to pull a bar, then wait for you to chase in, and finally use a needle to knock down the liquidation prices one by one.
Probability of Contract Liquidation Judgment:
· Low risk: Main theme of spot trading, light position observation, no chasing gains
· Medium risk: $BTC chase long below 64,000, chase higher below $ETH,880, chase hard with no volume on counterfeit stock
· High risk: Chase the first bullish candle of the demon coin, buy it in for over 20 times without stop-loss, and cover floating losses to offset the position
· Extremely high risk: chasing 50x or 100x $BEAT, $LAB, $GIGGLE, and still hoping to recover all losses with one order
Today, I'm not afraid of the market continuing to rise, but I'm more afraid of treating the US stock rebound as a comprehensive getaway for the crypto world.
$QQQ gives sentiment, $NVDA gives tech hype, but $BTC 64,000 is today's judgment level. Standing firm, bears suffer; Unable to hold firm, those who chase long positions end up on the liquidation list.
The above is for market observation only and does not constitute investment advice. Contract leverage is extremely risky, and investing carries risks; caution is advised when entering the market.#ISM创四年新高, U.S. Treasury yields have reversed
ISM data exceeded expectations, US Treasury yields fell, so why did BTC instead benefit from positive news?
Recently, the U.S. ISM Services PMI data exceeded market expectations. In theory, strong economic data usually means the Fed doesn't need to rush to cut rates, which should be bearish for risk assets. But the market has shown another trend—U.S. Treasury yields have actually retreated, and risk assets like BTC and ETH have found support. This has also been one of the most discussed topics in the market recently.
Why does this phenomenon of "good data leads to falling returns" occur?
The key point is that the market is not trading the data itself, but the expectations for the future.
The ISM exceeded expectations indicating that the U.S. economy still maintains some resilience, and corporate operations have not significantly cooled. This has eased market concerns about a "hard landing" for the economy, and investor risk appetite has somewhat recovered. At the same time, the market believes this data is not enough to fundamentally change the path of future rate cuts, so U.S. Treasury yields have not continued to rise but instead retreated. After yields fall, the appeal of holding bonds diminished, and some funds have begun to flow back into risk assets such as stocks and cryptocurrencies.
For the crypto world, what truly matters is the Treasury yield, not the ISM data itself.
In recent years, whenever the 10-year Treasury yield continued to fall, BTC often performed better. Because falling yields mean lower funding costs and improved market liquidity expectations, institutions are more willing to increase allocations to BTC, ETH, and tech stocks.
However, traders must not let their guard down. If future inflation data rises again, or if Fed officials send stronger hawkish signals, Treasury yields could rise again, and BTC could come under pressure once more.
Therefore, the real signal the market is sending this time is not "ISM exceeding expectations," but rather "funds are beginning to embrace risk assets again." If tech stocks continue to perform well in earnings reports, spot Bitcoin ETFs maintain net inflows, and US Treasury yields remain low, BTC is likely to continue challenging key resistance levels; Conversely, if yields rise again, the market may still return to a volatile pattern.
Do you think this round of U.S. Treasury yield declines will become an important catalyst for BTC's breakout, or is it just the beginning of a short-term rebound?One of the most noteworthy topics in the crypto world recently is Saylor's rare public backlash. Over the weekend, rumors spread online that Strategy had approved a new $5 billion $BTC sell quota. The news spread quickly, and Saylor stepped in to put out the fire, saying this wasn't new news—it was something already announced in the capital management framework on June 29, and it was hyped up into news.
This explanation itself isn't a lie, but what's even more intriguing is the next part. He immediately emphasizes that the company has never had a policy of never selling, and even deliberately separates his personal holdings from the company's treasury operations, saying, 'I've never sold a single satoshi, but Strategy is a listed company, not my wallet.'
Compared to his classic statement about never selling Bitcoin, the contrast is quite significant. No wonder people immediately dug up old videos where he said he wouldn't sell, only buy.
On the factual level, SEC filings from August 3 show that Strategy did sell 1,638 $BTC last week, with an average transaction price of $63,957, reducing its position to 842138 BTC. This is the second substantial reduction since selling 2,225 BTC in early July, and it has not been a new purchase for over five consecutive weeks.
What's even more painful is the cost structure. The company's current holding cost is $75,419 per coin, with the current price just over 63,000, meaning that unrealized losses are the norm rather than an accident. Combined with the poor Q2 financial report itself, net loss of $8.22 billion, earnings per share of negative $24.45, far below the market expectation of $3.07, and revenue slightly below expectations.
My personal view is that buying and selling $BTC itself is not a problem. Any institution doing capital management has the right to operate flexibly. The real issue is that the gap between narrative and behavior is magnified in the open market. For a company driven by faith to drive a stock price premium, once holders start questioning whether the founder's words are consistent, this trust cost is harder to repair than the unrealized losses on paper itself.
#MSTR再卖1638枚比特币, scale halved #MSTR再卖1638枚比特币, scale halved #MSTR再卖1638枚比特币, scale halved #MSTR sells another 1,638 BTC, halving the scale
MicroStrategy sold more coins again, but the interpretation of this event is quite different from what most people think.
From July 27 to August 2, they sold 1,638 BTC, cashing out 104.7 million USD at an average price of 63,957 USD. They sold 3,588 BTC in early July, so this time the amount was halved.
The reason for selling is simple — there is a dividend payment due. The preferred stock dividend is annualized at 12%, and it must be paid. The money from selling coins is used to pay dividends and repurchase preferred stock, which is a management of existing funds, not an active shorting of Bitcoin. The logic is the same as last time, unchanged.
What’s really interesting is this — the company still holds 842,138 BTC on its books, with the proportion unchanged. On-chain data also shows no obvious one-sided selling pressure; the market has become desensitized to MicroStrategy selling coins. The first time they sold, people panicked a bit, but by the second time, there was basically no reaction.
The conditions for starting to buy coins again are also clear: waiting for the preferred stock price to recover near the issue price, currently about 10% away. Once that batch recovers, MicroStrategy’s buying rhythm will restart. They’re not in a hurry, and you don’t need to be either.
$BTC $SNDK $BICO #FedSplitGoesPublic #BigTechEarningsWatch #PalantirBeatAndRaise 🚨 A 14% rally in one day has put $CARDS back in the spotlight—but is this the beginning of a bigger trend, or just another short-term spike? 👀
$BTC CARDS surged 14.07% over the past 24 hours, sparking renewed interest in the on-chain collectibles narrative.
The project behind the token, Collector Crypt, aims to bridge physical collectibles with blockchain technology.
Certified Pokémon cards, graded sports cards, and other authenticated collectibles can be stored in a secure custody vault and represented as NFTs that can be bought and sold on-chain.
In simple terms, it's trying to combine real-world assets (RWA), verified ownership, and NFT liquidity into a single ecosystem.
📊 Current Market Snapshot
Price: ~$BTC 0.1581 (+14.07%)
24H Range: $BTC 0.1307 – $0.1628
Price is currently trading near the day's high.
Since bottoming at $0.1101 on July 27, CARDS has rebounded more than 40%, showing clear short-term capital inflows. That said, volatility remains high, so the trend still needs confirmation.
🎯 Key Levels to Watch
🔹 Resistance: $0.1628
A breakout above this level with strong volume could open the door to $0.18. Only after establishing support above $0.18 would $0.20 become a realistic target.
🔹 Support: $0.15
If that level fails, the next area to watch is $0.14.
A break below $0.1307 would significantly weaken the current rebound structure.
⚠️ Risk Factors
CARDS has a market capitalization of roughly $40.51 million, but 24-hour trading volume is only around $190,000, indicating relatively thin liquidity. That means larger orders can have an outsized impact on price.
Only 12.87% of the maximum 2 billion tokens are currently in circulation, so future token unlocks could create additional selling pressure through dilution.
Bottom Line
CARDS is still in a low-base recovery phase.
The idea of bringing collectibles on-chain is an exciting long-term narrative, but for now, the move appears to be driven more by short-term capital rotation than a confirmed trend.

#BigTechEarningsWatch
#PalantirBeatAndRaise $FLUID's bullish candle today is quite interesting; the K-line body directly engulfed the previous four days' consolidation range, closing at 1.28. According to OKX real-time data, the daily high reached 1.33, the low was 1.19, and the amplitude showing 0.0% is a front-end data glitch. In reality, the amplitude exceeds 11%, which is definitely not a minor move. The turnover panel wasn't captured, but judging from the order book depth, there is a dense buy support above 1.25, and liquidity is an order of magnitude better than last week. On-chain, I’m watching several old indicators. The MVRV ratio has climbed to around 1.18, meaning short-term holders’ unrealized profits are still under 20%, a bit away from the danger zone above 1.3, so no large-scale profit-taking has been triggered yet. The SOPR value is 1.04, indicating that the moving coins are being transferred at a slight profit on average, with no panic selling at a loss. This matches the quick rebound after the recent dip to 1.19, showing the market’s willingness to support. The URPD distribution chart deserves close attention. Over the past month, coins have accumulated heavily in the narrow range between 1.10 and 1.25, especially around 1.22, forming a dense on-chain cost cluster. Today's starting point just stepped on this cluster edge, and the current price is already above the cost basis of most short-term holders. Once this structure stabilizes, 1.25 will turn from resistance into a short-term buoyancy cushion. If the price does not break below 1.25 in the next couple of days, the bullish structure remains intact. Exchange balance changes are the most direct indicator. In the past 24 hours, $FLUID’s net outflow from exchanges has increased, with about 1.8% of circulating supply moved to on-chain addresses for holding. The exchange balance is dropping while the price is rising, which is not typical distribution but more like accumulation or long-term staking lock-up. The volume is not particularly large, but combined with the price breakout structure, it at least indicates that the main players are not dumping at highs. From a technical perspective, the 4-hour MACD just formed a golden cross above zero, and RSI has bounced to around 62, with some room to rise. If the 1.33 high is retested with volume and breaks through, the next chip vacuum zone is between 1.45 and 1.50. The undeniable fact is that volume has not exploded simultaneously, so this looks more like a breakout that needs follow-up confirmation rather than a point to chase aggressively. $FLUID’s price action tends not to beta with the broader market and prefers an independent narrative. The recent warming of the DeFi sector also gives it some backing. Going forward, it depends on whether 1.25 can become effective support. If it holds here and moves up, I will raise the stop-loss line near the cost area. The bias is bullish, but I won’t bet on a one-sided move; waiting for a pullback confirmation before adding positions feels safer. The above analysis is based on OKX real-time market and on-chain data, is my personal judgment, and is not investment advice. The news is ten times more lively than the market, yet BTC is still lying dead at 62,528, and F&G Card is stuck at 28—buddy, this market is now "inflation on the mouth, tightening in the pocket."
Today is a flood of news: Ripple spends money on tokenized capital markets, HashKey acquires JPMorgan to open client accounts, Bitget announces withdrawal from Japan. Sounds like the industry is about to explode, right? But the real data pours cold water on the situation: volume dropped by 31.3%, OI remained stuck at 111,400 BTC, breadth rose 6 times and fell 9, and even the fee rate was positive at +0.0032%.
This is a classic example of 'narrative inflation, liquidity deflation'—the story grows grander, and real money shrinks more and more harshly.
For BTC, this divergence is the most deceptive: the price hasn't dropped, but you haven't caught any of the "good news" you thought you expected, indicating that what the market lacks right now isn't news, but risk appetite willing to take over.
Here's something you can take—don't just look at the news headline, look at the "narrative implementation rate": whether the hype is going up on its own. Ripple is talking about tokenization, but in tokenized stocks, XSOXL fell 13.36% in one day and XSKHY dropped -5.72%. The hype about the track collapsed first.
So to judge whether a news item is worth getting excited about, first look at its own position—if it's just empty talk or the stock has dropped to crap, treat it as a contrarian indicator.
My ADA is down 1.37%, and KAITO short is down 0.81%. I'm being hit from both sides but haven't moved. During the passivation phase, switching directions randomly is faster than lying flat.
The real sign of bottoming out has never been "another good news outcome"; it's when good news comes out without even making a splash—that's the current situation, so don't rush to run out of bullets.
Guys, which news story do you believe the most today? Is it Ripple's tokenization pie, or is HashKey clinging to Morgan's thigh? Let's chat in the comments—let's see who still dares to get carried away.
#BTC #ETH #叙事落地率 #市场情绪 #代币化 #流动性 #行情分析 #OKX星球 #钝化 #新闻解读🧲 A main thread strung together by real-time data is still vivid in memory: the July 30 "41-minute sweep of 1,082 BTC" was still vivid. Four days later, Galaxy Research provided an update—confirming losses had exceeded $100 million. The attack was not a one-time incident but a continuous harvesting across three main waves affecting about 7,300 addresses, with the alert clearly stating: the attack is ongoing. From isolated firmware bugs to multiple unresolved security incidents, this is the evolution that deserves the most attention. 📈 Three sets of numbers to clearly understand scale · Total: 1,596 BTC confirmed stolen from about 7,300 addresses, spanning 3 major waves + 14 minor incidents, with losses exceeding $100 million at current prices. · Evolution Speed: Last Saturday (8/2), Galaxy estimated 1,367 BTC / 4,585 addresses; Within four days, the number of addresses increased by about 60%, and the token supply grew by about 17%—the "aftershocks" of the vulnerability are still surfacing. More importantly, it is suspected to be the fourth wave: if the victim confirms it, the total loss will reach 2,055 BTC, about $130 million. Galaxy judges this wave to be mainly attacker activity with a "medium-high" confidence level, though it is not yet included in the confirmation threshold. Current status: 90% of stolen BTC has not moved yet (including the first 3 waves), indicating the attacker is still "stockpiling" and hasn't started washing it; There are already 73 DRAM supply shortages have been postponed to 2027, strengthening long-term storage certainty, but HBM4e validation variables are forcing funds to reassess short-term risk premiums and position structures for computing hardware hardware.
TrendForce's research shows that the DRAM shortage will extend into 2027, and in Q3 2026, NVIDIA will switch its HBM configuration for Rubin Ultra from HBM4e 12hi to parallel evaluation of multiple solutions including HBM4e 8hi, HBM4 12hi, and HBM4 8hi. Some cloud vendors are simultaneously evaluating and reducing the HBM capacity design of their next-generation self-developed ASICs, indicating that technical validation bottlenecks are beginning to constrain the specification advancement of computing hardware.
Among the driving factors affecting positions, the physical constraint of absolute capacity shortages is higher than the speed of breakthroughs at single nodes. Computing power vendors lowering HBM specifications eased the pressure of severe storage cost inflation, but also extended the market's reliance on general-purpose $DRAM capacity, driving institutional funds to spread from high-premium validation nodes to the underlying storage chain.
The trigger for the multi-headed scenario is that NVIDIA completes the design finalization of HBM4 or HBM4e 8hi by Q3 2026, and the downgrade demand for cloud ASIC is shifting to long-term lock-in for basic DRAM. At this point, market anxiety over the computing power bottleneck will translate into an extension of storage profitability. Progress in HBM4 12hi verification should be observed as a signal to add long positions. If the ASIC storage capacity revision exceeds expectations, this scenario will fail.
The trigger for the bearish scenario is that delays in HBM4e verification have slowed Rubin Ultra's mass production pace, leading cloud vendors to massively lower ASIC storage specifications. This will trigger safe-haven funds to cut off high-valuation positions in chip sectors like $SMH. It is important to observe whether the delay triggers a second correction in the supply chain's technical path. If DRAM shortages push up spot prices beyond manufacturers' cost limits, the bearish logic will fail.
When manufacturers fully absorb HBM4e validation delays through downgrade design without affecting on-time chip delivery, the valuation correction logic based on technical delay will completely fail.
In the next 7 days, it is important to closely monitor the industry chain's updated updates on the verification progress of HBM4 and HBM4e, as well as the rate at which funds switch positions between storage targets and semiconductor ETFs.
#MSTR再卖1638枚比特币, scale halved by #韩国杠杆ETF成交额降九成, volatility narrowedDamn, $BTC my short position is rising but I'm floating at 17.21%. Damn, this market really confuses me.
Glancing at the market on my phone, $BTC even though it's rising, my short position actually has a floating profit of 2225.43 USDT, +17.21%. Six times leverage is a mouthful of oil.
But honestly, what worried me wasn't the direction, but the strange force behind the market. Let's look at the data first: $BTC current price is 63,706, up 1.72% in 24 hours.
MACD histogram at 15.71, bullish momentum remains on the red bars, DIF at 154.83 is holding above DEA at 146.97, but the price is below MA7 (63769).
Standing above MA30 (63360) again, a typical dilemma. What's really interesting is that the trading volume has increased by 103% since yesterday, while the open interest remains completely unchanged at 2.03B.
The tip I want to share is simple: paying attention to the divergence between volume and position changes is much more useful than guessing the direction. The principle is actually quite simple:
1. Volume surges + open interest remains unchanged = a large amount of short-term funds are turnover, rather than new trend funds entering the market. The market is most likely to be volatile rather than reversal
2. At times like this, it only makes sense to look at support and resistance levels—first support at 62,437, first resistance at 64,244. If the price is bouncing inside, chasing gains and selling down is basically giving someone a kill
3. Funding rate +0.0049%. Bulls pay bears. Although not much, it indicates market sentiment has not yet become one-sided
This time, I was opening a short position based on this logic. At that time, I saw a sudden increase in trading volume but not keeping up with open interest, so I judged it to be a false breakout with a high probability, so I shorted at 65,587.
Afterwards, the price was indeed held down near the resistance level of 64,244, sliding all the way to 63,706. It's a lie to say I'm not anxious, especially when I watch prices soar—my hands are shaking.
But the logic didn't break through, so I took it. Emotions are worthless compared to data.
You might say, that's just luck. Alright, even if it's luck, I want to know how that luck comes from.
Do you dare to share your current location in the comments? I bet half the people can't explain their own logic for entering the market. $ENA: 625,561 tokens moved from Wintermute into a wallet that's parked $1M on Binance before, and did it again just now. price is flat, +0.8% over 4h, chart hasn't blinked.
that same wallet's last rerun (on $PEPE) went -1.4% over the next 8h. correlation isn't fate, but the pattern repeating is real.
$1.2M total hit Binance and Gate this hour, this wallet alone was $1M of it. one player, not a smear.
coins on exchanges can be sold, doesn't mean they will. go check the wallet yourself, it's not a secret.基本面研报 $BIDU / Baidu（NASDAQ·中概AI/搜索） $113.06（24h +1.76%）

#基本面研报 #美股 #研究 #OKXOrbitCoinbase has started pushing for the CLARITY Act again, and this time it's indeed a bit urgent
Coinbase $COIN has recently been promoting the CLARITY Act again and released a set of data: 82% of Americans believe the financial system needs to be updated.
To clarify, 82% of the poll comes from Coinbase-commissioned surveys. It only shows that people are not very satisfied with the current financial system and cannot be directly understood as 82% supporting CLARITY.
Where is the bill currently going? Last July, the House had already passed the bill by 294 votes to 134. By May this year, the Senate Banking Committee advanced the bill by a vote of 15 to 9. On July 22, Senator Lummis released a new text integrating the opinions of the Banking Committee and the Agriculture Committee.
But as of August 4, the bill had not yet reached a full Senate vote. This step is the hardest. The Senate usually needs at least 60 votes to advance, and even if it passes, since the Senate and House versions are not exactly the same, further coordination is needed before it can finally be sent to the President's table.
The core issue addressed by this bill is actually quite simple: whether a coin is managed by the SEC or the CFTC. When projects raise funds through token sales, issuance and information disclosure may continue to be overseen by the SEC. Networks such as those are mature enough that eligible tokens can be treated as digital commodities when traded on the secondary market, with the CFTC responsible for them.
Exchanges must also register, client assets must be kept separately, and rules for transaction monitoring, custody, and conflicts of interest must be established. Tokenized stocks are still considered securities and will not automatically become commodities just because they are put on-chain.
DeFi and self-custody wallets have received some protection. Simply writing code, running nodes, or safeguarding private keys for users will not automatically be treated as an exchange. But if a team controls the frontend, facilitates transactions, or manages user funds, it may still need anti-money laundering and registration.
Stablecoin yields are also a point of contention. The new version does not allow platforms to directly pay interest just because users hold stablecoins, but rewards earned from card payments, payments, and participation in activities may still be retained. This is directly related to Coinbase's $USDC business, so $COIN will definitely keep a close watch.
The main areas of blockage now are consumer protection, anti-money laundering, and conflicts of interest among politicians. Some Democratic lawmakers believe the current text is not strict enough, especially concerned that government officials issue or hold currency themselves or profit from related projects.
Therefore, this bill is still far from being implemented, and it's hard to directly interpret it as a short-term positive for coin prices. The impact on $BTC may not be as significant, since its product attributes are already quite clear. The ones most affected are U.S. exchanges and a large number of tokens whose identities remain unclear. Whether coins like $ETH, $SOL, and $XRP will have easier access to the US market depends on the final text and subsequent regulatory details. The bill does not directly issue "exemption certificates" for any coins.
Coinbase's urgency is understandable. It wants to list more tokens, make derivatives, stablecoins, and on-chain finance, but its biggest fear is that after the product is completed, the SEC suddenly shows up and says no.
Strict regulation, and costs are still calculable. Rules change daily, and many businesses don't dare to do it at all. This is where CLARITY truly matters. It may not immediately raise the price of the token, but it could determine which tokens U.S. exchanges dare to list in the future, how projects will raise funds, and how much Wall Street can move on-chain.MicroStrategy (MSTR) 减持 1,638 枚 BTC 这一突发性的市场传闻或事件，以下是从量化与宏观视角的深度分析：
1. 心理与信号冲击：信仰的“裂缝”
MicroStrategy 自 2020年 以来一直是比特币最坚定的机构持有者。
* 叙事崩塌： 迈克尔·塞勒（Michael Saylor）曾多次公开承诺“永远不卖（HODL Forever）”。此次卖出 1,638 枚 BTC（约合 $1.04 亿美元），虽然相对于其超过 20万枚 的持仓总量仅为 “九牛一毛”（占比约 0.8%），但其象征意义远大于实际抛压。
* 市场解读： 市场会猜测这是否是 MSTR 融资策略的彻底转向，或是为了偿还 2026年 到期的可转换优先票据债务。
2. “规模腰斩”对流动性的影响
你提到的“规模腰斩”通常指减持速度或抛压规模较预期减半。
* 抛压被稀释： 每日 BTC 的现货交易额高达数百亿美元，1,638 枚 的抛售若通过 OTC（场外交易） 或在数日内通过 VWAP（成交量加权平均价） 算法拆分执行，对价格的直接物理冲击极小（预计引起的价格偏离不足 0.1%）。
* “腰Still bullish on $DRAM $SMH for the long term
According to TrendForce's latest memory industry research, the DRAM supply shortage will continue into 2027, and the verification progress of original HBM4e is uncertain
Starting from Q3 2026, NVIDIA has shifted its HBM configuration for Rubin Ultra from HBM4e 12hi to parallel evaluation of HBM4e 8hi, HBM4 12hi, HBM4 8hi, and other designs, though no final decision has been made yet.
Besides NVIDIA, some cloud service providers are also considering lowering the HBM capacity design of their next-generation self-developed ASICs.
In other words, current capacity still lags behind, so technology can only reduce reliance on HBM, which also proves that AI is highly profitable and DRAM will be needed in the future.Stablecoin landscape undergoes major change! BlackRock launches dedicated reserve funds, intensifying the Matthew effect #贝莱德推两只基金，专供稳定币储备 $BTC
Many are still focused on Bitcoin ETFs, but they overlook BlackRock's move, which truly penetrates the underlying framework of the crypto world.
BlackRock officially launched two tokenized money market funds specifically serving stablecoin issuers' reserve management: BSTBL on-chain shares and the newly customized BRSRV stablecoin reserve tool. Both are fully backed by cash, short-term U.S. Treasuries, and Treasury repos, aiming to meet the U.S. GENIUS Act's compliant reserve asset standards. They can be deployed on multiple public chains including Ethereum and Solana.
A key point to clarify: BlackRock is not issuing stablecoins but acting as the "reserve steward" for stablecoins.
Previously, BlackRock managed $60 billion USDC reserves for Circle; now it directly offers standardized on-chain fund products for all compliant stablecoin issuers.
Bullish logic: industry compliance narrative upgrades
1. The biggest pain point for stablecoin reserves has been transparency and audit difficulty. Traditional reserve assets are custodied off-chain, making real-time on-chain verification impossible; tokenized funds put compliant money market fund shares on-chain, enabling on-chain verification, perfectly matching regulatory requirements for reserves and removing a major barrier for institutional entry.
2. This will accelerate the industry's Matthew effect. Compliant stablecoins will receive top-tier asset management services from Wall Street, greatly improving reserve asset quality; stablecoins with opaque reserves and messy assets will face increasing survival pressure.
3. U.S. dollar liquidity connects on-chain and off-chain. Massive tokenization of U.S. Treasury assets on-chain is a major realization of the RWA narrative, continuously expanding the imagination for compliant incremental capital flowing into the entire crypto market.
The other side of the coin, risks often overlooked by the market
1. These are permissioned tokenized funds, not fully decentralized. Wallets require whitelist approval, and institutions have control rights, meaning stablecoin underlying reserves are deeply controlled by the traditional financial system, weakening crypto-native permissionless attributes.
2. The benefits favor the compliance track but do not directly trigger violent price surges in Bitcoin or altcoins. This improves the infrastructure for capital entry, a slow variable that won't immediately ignite the market.
3. Regulatory uncertainty remains. Although aligned with the GENIUS Act, subsequent detailed rules and congressional negotiations still carry uncertainties, and product rollout pace may be affected by policy disruptions.
Realistic changes brought to the entire crypto space
Going forward, stablecoin competition will no longer be just about issuance volume; custody of reserves, asset quality, and compliance qualifications will become core moats.
Wall Street is no longer just buying crypto assets but directly building the cash foundation of the crypto world. A large portion of future stablecoin growth will flow through reserve funds managed by institutions like BlackRock.
⚠️ Key signals to watch in the market:
① How many stablecoin issuers will connect to these two funds;
② Progress on regulatory details related to the GENIUS Act;
③ Capital inflow data into tokenized U.S. Treasury RWA tracks.
This is a mid-to-long-term industry logic; in the short term, it is more about sentiment catalysts and should not be used alone as a basis for short-term trading.Although BTC and ETH have maintained a high directional correlation recently, their price structures, capital acceptance, and trading activity have diverged in stages.
BTC's 4-hour upward structure has been broken, and the price is seeking new support in the $62,000–$62,500 range. If it subsequently falls below $62,000 and fails to recover after a rebound, it means the market may shift from a volatile adjustment to a continued downward trend.
In contrast, ETH still shows strong relative strength. Its recovery speed after pullback is significantly faster than BTC's, and after several brief breaks below support, it can quickly rebound, indicating stronger support and relative buying below.
This divergence may mainly come from three aspects: First, ETH has long underperformed BTC, and now there is relative value recovery and catch-up demand; Second, recent ETH spot ETF inflows have outperformed BTC, and some institutional funds may be undergoing a phased rotation from BTC to ETH; Third, ETH derivatives trading and short covering are relatively active, further amplifying its upward potential.
However, ETH's currently amplified trading volume may include a high proportion of perpetual contracts and leveraged trades, so simply by increasing volume, one cannot conclude that it has entered an independent uptrend driven entirely by spot capital.
What really needs to be watched is: when BTC tests and even falls below $62,000, can ETH hold its 4-hour key low, whether the ETH/BTC exchange rate can continue to rise, and whether active spot buying can persist. If all these conditions are met, it can be confirmed that ETH is forming a relatively independent strong structure; Conversely, if BTC experiences a trending decline, ETH's high-leverage position may also trigger a more severe follow-up decline later. $ETH #从降息到加息, the Fed's disagreements are fully revealed Fundamental Research Report $ARB / Arbitrum (L2/Sidechain) $3.20

Pessimistic outlook: $3.00B at 50-70% off, oscillating within a neutral range; optimistic outlook: revenue doubling, burns landing, enterprise clients coming in, FDV corresponding to P/S, aligning with the top companies. To sum up: solid fundamentals (rating 59/100). Token value capture has been implemented (buyback/burn/gas). Circulating market cap is relatively high relative to fundamentals, overdrawing expectations, and FDV is moderate. Main risks: short-term massive unlocking and sell-off, long-term protocol revenue wiping out, token demand relying solely on incentives (once incentives break down, usage collapses). Ongoing monitoring: protocol fee cycles, burn amounts, active address retention, TVL/loan balances, GitHub version releases. The above judgment is based on publicly available data and does not constitute any investment advice. Conclusions need to be revised when key indicators deviate significantly.

#基本面研报 #加密 #研究 #OKXOrbitIs SHIB burn up 1.395% really a bullish driver? 🔥
In July, more than 3.2 billion SHIB was burned, an increase of 1,395% compared to the previous month. This news helped SHIB increase by about 17% and pull back speculative cash flows.
However, from a financial perspective, what matters is not how much burn increases, but how much burn accounts for in the total supply.
SHIB still has a circulating supply of hundreds of trillions of tokens. So, 3.2 billion tokens sounds huge, but the actual impact on the supply is still quite small. This is why many experts believe that the current effect is more psychological than economic.
For a sustainable price rise, SHIB needs more than a burn campaign. What the market will monitor is new users, activity on Shibarium, trading volume, and actual usage demand. Burn only works when it goes hand in hand with the growth of the ecosystem.
In my opinion, burn is the catalyst that helps SHIB regain the attention of investors, but the long-term momentum must still come from real demand and new cash flows. 📈#CLARITY法案剩72小时，动议仍未提交
CLARITY法案今天没上参议院议程。8月7号休会，满打满算72小时窗口。
实际窗口更短。周三(8月5日)是提交cloture申请的最后机会，需要16个参议员签字。过了周三就来不及了。
就算周三签了、周五cloture表决拿到60票，参议院还能再辩论30小时。表决的只是“是否开始审议”，还不是法案本身。8月7号休会，法案连审都没开始审。
市场定价已经很悲观了。Polymarket通过概率31%，年初74%。Galaxy Research从50%砍到30%。周一议程出来之后，Kalshi也跌到33%。
卡在哪？三个地方。
伦理条款。白宫和民主党还在扯总统亲属加密持仓的事。特朗普家族靠加密赚了12亿，民主党说不解决这个法案没法谈。白宫7月31号拿到折中方案至今没回应。
稳定币收益(第404条) 。银行说存款可能流失1.3万亿，加密行业说这是在扼杀创新。双方还在拉锯。
60票门槛。共和党53席，至少要拉7个民主党。目前公开支持法案的民主党只有两三个，差得远。
我的看法：
这法案大概率赶不上8月休会了。不是技术问题，是两边压根不想在选举前给对方送政绩。9月复会之后中期选举只剩两个月，谁还有空管加密法案？到时候注意力全在选战上。2026年的立法窗口实际上已经关闭了。Last night, the application layer's Palantir and tonight's $XAMD can be said to be two heavyweight reports delivered in the AI sector.
Palantir delivered a perfect earnings report with revenue soaring 93% and U.S. commercial business surging 149%, directly proving that AI can generate real profits on the application side. Its stock price also rose sharply after hours. However, its valuation remains relatively high this year; this earnings report is more about restoring confidence rather than triggering a new round of rapid growth.
Tonight, it's AMD's turn to report from the chip layer. The market's main concern is not whether demand is sufficient, but whether it can truly secure its position as the "second choice after NVIDIA." The key points to watch are whether its AI chips can continue to scale up, whether it has secured substantial orders from more major clients, and whether the profit margin on server CPUs can be maintained.
Overall, these two earnings reports send a signal: the demand side for AI is becoming increasingly solid. Whether selling software or computing power, there are profits to be made. The current divergence is no longer about "whether it can be done," but has shifted to details like valuation and market share realization.
In the stock market, valuation essentially reflects market confidence. When market sentiment is high, high valuations can be absorbed; but when the market returns to rationality and investors become cautious, even if a company's fundamentals are strong and its story compelling, excessively high valuations are hard to sustain. After all, in investing, the overall trend often holds more power than individual judgment. #财报观察员：AMD与SpaceX交卷在即，Circle压轴 #Palantir营收增93%，盘后涨13% $SNX - 1.65

South Korean ETF trading volume plummeted by 90%—is this really bad news for BTC?
Recently, trading volume of South Korea's popular single-stock leveraged ETFs has shrunk sharply compared to its peak, with some products seeing volumes drop by nearly 90%. Many investors, upon seeing this data, worried that global risk capital was withdrawing, and even thought it would drag down BTC's performance.
But in reality, a sharp drop in trading volume does not mean all funds are leaving; it may more likely indicate that the market is "deleveraging."
Why did this happen?
Previously, the South Korean market saw a wave of investment in AI concept stocks, with large amounts of capital leveraging single-stock leveraged ETFs like SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics to amplify returns. However, high leverage also amplifies market volatility. With South Korean regulators introducing restrictions, including raising investment thresholds and limiting the proportion of leveraged ETFs held in a single stock, speculative funds have rapidly cooled down, and trading volume has dropped sharply as a result.
For the crypto world, what truly deserves attention is not the decline in ETF trading volume, but the shift in global risk appetite.
If the decline in trading volume is only due to regulation curbing excessive speculation, then the market will actually be healthier in the long run. After deleveraging ends, funds may flow back into assets with better fundamentals, including BTC, ETH, and quality tech stocks. In fact, some international institutions believe that after deleveraging in the Korean market, foreign investors have begun to redeploy their positions in semiconductors and AI.
However, in the short term, vigilance is still necessary.
The Korean market has long been regarded as an important indicator of Asian risk assets. If deleveraging continues to expand, leading to a significant decline in global capital risk appetite, BTC may still be affected by sentiment in the short term. However, if the Korean stock market gradually stabilizes, U.S. tech stocks continue to be strong, and spot Bitcoin ETFs sustain net capital inflows, then the crypto market may actually see a recovery rally.
For traders, the biggest lesson from this news is: don't just look at "trading volume has dropped 90%," but also at where the money has gone. If funds simply leave high-leverage ETFs and shift toward more stable assets like spot stocks, BTC, or ETFs, this may not be bad news; What truly needs to be concerned is that funds are flowing across safe-haven assets such as the US dollar and US Treasuries.
Therefore, this cooling of Korean ETFs feels more like a market bubble deflating rather than a full collapse of risk assets. After deleveraging ends, the market often seeks new main themes, and whether BTC can take on this portion of risk capital will be a key signal to watch in the coming weeks.$BTC closed at $63,820, up only 0.76% intraday, yet it still couldn't break out of the $63,000 to $64,900 range. The S&P 500 broke above 7,600 intraday, just one step away from a record high, the Nasdaq strengthened in tandem, the VIX fell to 15.6, and risk-on sentiment clearly rebounded. Big tech is booming across the board, and AI narratives are fermenting again. In this environment, shorting Bitcoin itself comes with headwinds. But the driving force behind the rally is not healthy. The funding rate turned slightly negative, with spot institutional premiums at minus $63. In the past four hours, the number of short sellers exposed far exceeded the long positions. This rebound was driven more by a pulse driven by forced liquidations by bears rather than genuine buying entrance. $ETH is the weakest today, at $1,868, with both daily and 4-hour charts being empty. $SOL is just following the trend and not trading independently. The Fear of Corruption Index is 28, yet still remains in fear. Previously, the cooling of geopolitical conditions and oil prices fell to $80.4 eased interest rate hike concerns, and the macro aspect indeed gave risk assets a breathing room. However, the daily MACD bar is at negative 393, the bearish alignment has yet to reverse, and the 1-hour KDJ indicator J value has surpassed 100, indicating a clear short-term overbought signal. Chasing long positions at this level can easily cause sharp needle, and naked short chases may lead to repeated losses in a forced bearish rally. The best option is to patiently wait for the daily closing direction. Only when the price reaches 64,900 will it count as a short-term strengthening, and if it falls below 63,000,#从降息到加息, the Fed's disagreements are fully public
Latest data: The Fed was still implementing rate cuts at the end of last year. The trend has completely reversed in 2026. At the July meeting, nine votes kept rates unchanged, while three hawkish officials opposed and called for a 25bp hike—the highest number of unanimous opposition votes since 2016. All viewpoints have been laid out openly.
The logic of two major internal factions is very clear: dovish officials believe inflation is gradually easing and there are signs of slowing employment, and they insist on waiting for the next rate cut window; Three hawkish voters publicly stated that Middle Eastern regional factors driving up oil prices have made inflation stickier, the economy is too resilient, and current interest rate suppression is insufficient, so rate hikes are needed to prevent inflation rebound.
The current chairman has abandoned the previous clear forward-looking guidance, no longer giving the market interest rate expectations in advance, and now relying solely on data for ad hoc decisions, further amplifying market divisions. This internal tug-of-war directly pushes up U.S. Treasury yields and continuously suppresses risk capital in the crypto space, causing more market volatility.
Personally, I remain cautious, not betting on one-sided interest rate expectations, and will plan my actions once inflation and nonfarm payroll data are finalized. I still believe the market will gradually recover.

$1.075 $XRP has encountered a phenomenon that puzzles analysts: ETF funds continue to flow in, yet the price continues to fall.
On-chain capital flow analysis:
XRP has seen net ETF inflows for three consecutive weeks. However, ETF inflows have not offset the pressure on the derivatives market. Open interest dropped to $2.23 billion XRP. Whales account for 77.8% of XRP outflows on exchanges. Santiment data shows that whales are continuously accumulating. However, at the same time, the number of whale trades has declined.
This divergence of "ETF buy, price fall" indicates that seller pressure comes from other sources—perhaps Ripple's monthly unlocks or early holders' profit-taking.
Support and resistance levels:
Support: 1.0751→ 1.0692→ 1.0528→ 1.04. Resistance: 1.0759-1.0760→ 1.0952→ 1.12→ 1.1354.
Market maker movements:
From July 9 to 15, whales increased their holdings by 70 million coins. Large wallets hold 3.8 billion XRP. But whales' trading volume plummeted by 97%—increasing holdings but reducing trading indicates whales are holding long-term rather than short-term operations.
Positive factors:
The CLARITY Act is advancing. Ripple is expanding into the institutional market. $XRP Revaluation expectations are heating up.
Negative factors:
XRP has broken below the daily 20-day EMA near $1.08. Prices are lower than MA5, MA10, and MA30. KDJ has formed a bearish crossover. #从降息到加息, Fed Divergences Fully Revealed: #财报观察员: AMD and SpaceX Close to Close, Circle Closes #Palantir营收增93%, Gains 13% in After-Hours #Palantir Revenue Up 93%, After-Hours Up 13%
Palantir delivered an earnings report that silenced the shorts. Revenue reached $1.94 billion, up 93% year-over-year, with a 13% rise after hours. The full-year guidance was raised to $8.15 billion, and U.S. commercial revenue increased 149% year-over-year. The stock price had fallen 29% this year but reversed sharply in a single day with this 93% growth report.
Palantir is confirming one thing:
The real demand for AI applications is materializing, not just hype. The 149% growth in U.S. commercial revenue shows enterprises are buying AI products in bulk. The significant upward revision in guidance means demand visibility is extending. Palantir’s 13% gain sets the tone for earnings season; the quarterly numbers are just the entry ticket, the guidance sets the price.
Impact on BTC:
Palantir’s better-than-expected results directly boost AI-related sentiment. If AMD delivers strong results tonight and tech stocks continue to rally, BTC, as a high-beta asset, will benefit in sync. If AMD falls short, sentiment may dip short-term, but the fundamental AI demand remains intact. The optical communication and storage sectors have recently led the rebound; after Palantir confirmed AI application demand, the certainty for compute hardware demand will only strengthen.
What’s next:
Palantir confirmed AI application demand, AMD will validate AI chip demand tonight, SpaceX will validate Starlink’s profitability, and Circle will validate the stablecoin business model. Palantir’s 13% gain has already set an example for the market; if the others can replicate it, the entire tech sector’s sentiment will be fully restored. Think about it. $BTC $ETH $SNDK#韩国杠杆ETF成交额降九成, the volatility narrowed
South Korean ETF trading volume plummets by 90%—why should BTC traders be more cautious?
Recently, a piece of data in the South Korean market has attracted widespread attention: trading volumes of some popular leveraged ETFs in South Korea have shrunk sharply compared to their peak, with some products seeing a drop of nearly 90%. This change is not due to a sudden lack of trading in the market, but rather the result of a rapid cooling down of high-risk leveraged funds following a series of restrictions imposed by South Korean regulators.
Many people think this is just a matter of the Korean stock market and has little to do with the crypto world.
In fact, South Korea has long been one of the most active crypto markets in the world, and shifts in investor risk appetite often carry over to the crypto market.
In recent months, a large amount of capital has flowed into AI concept stocks and leveraged ETFs represented by SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics, pushing market turnover to record highs. However, as regulations tighten, investor participation thresholds have risen, and trading costs have increased, trading volumes of leveraged ETFs have rapidly shrunk, and market speculative sentiment has clearly cooled.
What does this mean for the crypto world?
In the short term, market risk appetite may be affected to some extent. As leveraged funds begin to shrink, some investors will reduce their allocations to high-risk assets, including cryptocurrencies, so BTC, ETH, and highly volatile altcoins may face some pressure.
But from another perspective, this may not be entirely a bad thing.
Previously, the South Korean stock market experienced significant volatility, largely driven by leveraged funds. Now, proactive regulatory cooling helps reduce extreme market volatility. If the Korean stock market gradually returns to rationality, global capital risk appetite may stabilize again, which could actually be a medium- to long-term positive for risk assets, including BTC.
For BTC traders, the main concern is whether there will be capital outflows in the South Korean market. If the decline in leveraged ETF trading volume is only due to regulatory restrictions and funds remain in stocks or the crypto market, the impact is relatively limited; However, if funds continue to withdraw from the Korean market and flow into safe-haven assets like the US dollar and US Treasuries, BTC may remain under pressure in the short term.
Therefore, what truly deserves attention from this news is not that "trading volume has dropped by 90%," but rather that risk appetite in the Korean market is changing. Next, three key signals to watch should be kept: whether the Korean stock market can stabilize, whether spot Bitcoin ETFs continue to maintain net inflows, and whether the Korean exchange's "kimchi premium" is rebounding. If these three indicators improve simultaneously, it indicates that market sentiment is recovering; Otherwise, the crypto market may remain highly volatile in the short term.
Do you think the withdrawal of leveraged funds in South Korea marks the beginning of a healthy market development or signals that risk assets are entering a correction cycle?$SPCX earnings report tonight, followed by a massive unlocking of 900 million shares on August 6.
Previously, no one dared to buy because its chip structure was too much like a meme coin, with the vast majority of chips held by the project team, causing a severe imbalance between longs and shorts. A good company ≠ a good short-term price. Unlocking pressure, valuation, and changes in circulating shares are all real issues. Even if SpaceX is great, it doesn't mean the stock price will immediately rise in the short term.
There is currently a huge divergence in capital. Bears focus on unlocking and valuation. Bulls focus on Starlink growth, AI infrastructure, and future potential. Yesterday, after the stock price bottomed at $104, it quickly rebounded above $115, which looks very much like a panic sell-off being released.
Tonight's earnings focus entirely on Starlink. Although users surged to 10.3 million, the revenue per user dropped from $99 to $66. So tonight, everyone cares about one core question: has growth translated into profit?
If the earnings prove it has started making big money, market logic will instantly reverse. People will no longer care about unlocking selling pressure and will scramble to buy, with a large number of short positions at risk of being squeezed.
Trading can't be rigid; as long as the stock price can hold firmly above $110, the short-term trend has clearly turned positive. Tonight's earnings guidance will directly determine whether this unlocking will crush the market or if the Starship will take off.
#财报观察员：AMD与SpaceX交卷在即，Circle压轴 2026.8.4 Market Analysis: Risk chains for the yen, US Treasuries, and BTC
[Why the yen is weakening with every attempt]
Recently, Japanese authorities have injected about 11.7 trillion yen, equivalent to about $73.3 billion, in foreign exchange intervention, but the dollar is still hovering near 157 against the yen, and the yen remains in decades-long weak territory.
Intervention funds come from foreign exchange reserves. If continued disposal of dollar assets is needed to raise funds afterward, a dangerous chain could form: dollar assets and Treasuries under pressure→ U.S. Treasury yields rising→ dollar strengthens again→ yen under pressure→ and Japan continues to intervene.
The more you try to help, the weaker you become; the weaker you are, the more you need to save them. In the end, it may turn into 'robbing Peter to pay Paul, two walls under pressure together.'
[Behind this is also a battle to defend U.S. debt]
The 30-year U.S. Treasury yield once rose to around 5.28%, returning to the high range seen around 2007. Long-term interest rates are at this level, making it difficult for US stock valuations, gold, and BTC liquidity.
Around July 31, the US and Japan coordinated to stabilize the yen. I don't think the U.S. intervention is just to help Japan; a more important consideration might be: if Japan continues to intervene in the exchange rate by disposing of dollar assets, the U.S. Treasury market itself will face even greater pressure.
So from my perspective, this is not only a battle to defend the yen, but also carries the meaning of a battle to defend US debt.
[The fundamental contradiction remains the interest rate spread]
I have repeatedly mentioned before that foreign exchange intervention can only ease short-term fluctuations and cannot eliminate the fundamental pressure of yen depreciation.
Currently, the Fed's target rate remains at 3.50%–3.75%, while the Bank of Japan's policy rate is about 1.00%, a difference of about 2.50–2.75 percentage points. As long as the interest rate spread remains significant, the yen will continue to face arbitrage and capital outflow pressures.
[Two Key Window Opportunities to Watch in August]
The first is around 20:30 Beijing time on August 5, when the U.S. Treasury will release a quarterly refinancing announcement. Focus on the scale of bond issuance in the coming months, the ratio of short-term and long-term bonds, and whether to increase the supply of 10-year and 30-year bonds. This is an important point for assessing the pressure on U.S. Treasury supply going forward.
The second is the U.S. Treasury auction from August 11 to 13 local time:
August 11: 3-year term;
August 12: 10-year term;
August 13: 30-year term.
This corresponds to Beijing time in the early hours of the next day, and the strength of long-term auction demand directly affects yield trends and market risk appetite.
[US Stocks, Gold, and BTC: Which Will Come Under Pressure First?]
If long-term U.S. Treasury yields continue to rise, U.S. stock valuations will first come under pressure; Gold and BTC may also experience synchronized fluctuations due to tightening liquidity.
Looking at BTC's current 4-hour trend, the price is still within a descending channel, and the rebound has not changed the overall structure. With both macro liquidity and technical patterns weak, I can't think of any reason to abandon the short-selling logic for now.
Of course, if the price effectively breaks out and holds above the upper boundary of the descending channel, the shorting logic needs to be reassessed. Before this, I mainly took a hollow approach.

Please control your position and risk according to your own situation.| Macro Thinking: How Market Expectations Will Shift from 'Rate Cuts' to 'Interest Rate Hike Concerns'
At the beginning of the year, market consensus betted on the Fed to start a rate-cutting cycle, expecting 2-3 accommodative easing cycles within the year; In just a few months, expectations completely reversed, the narrative of rate cuts faded, and the market began to reprice the possibility of rate hikes. The sudden shift in expectations is not a sudden change of face by the central bank, but a layered overthrow of the old by multiple realities
Logic:
1. Inflation stickiness exceeded expectations
The pace of core inflation decline continues to slow and is still some distance from the 2% target. Geopolitical conflicts in the Middle East repeatedly disrupt crude oil prices, and energy fluctuations could push prices higher at any time, limiting the Federal Reserve's room for easing.
2. The U.S. economy and employment show remarkable resilience
Consumption and nonfarm payroll data remained firm, with no obvious signs of recession. Historically, during periods of booming employment, the Fed finds it difficult to rashly cut rates to stimulate the economy.
3. Major shift in the Federal Reserve's policy framework
The new management has weakened forward-looking guidance, no longer providing the market with a fixed interest rate path, and policy has returned to "complete data-dependence." Clear statement: interest rates are mutually adjustable, rate cuts are no longer the default option, and if inflation rebounds, there is a possibility of further rate hikes.
4. U.S. Treasury supply pressures increase long-term risk premiums
Continuously expanding fiscal deficits, massive issuance of long-term government bonds, overseas buyers keep reducing holdings, the long-term yield center has permanently shifted upward, and high interest rates have lasted far longer than everyone had anticipated at the beginning of the year.
Market insights:
The era of cheap liquidity has ended, and **Higher-for-Longer** has become the new main theme.
Long-duration assets such as high-valuation growth and crypto sectors continue to face pressure; Funds prefer assets with stable cash flow.
Key future tracking: month-on-month inflation data, crude oil fluctuations, and nonfarm payrolls.
Trading Approach: Do not cling to the old belief of "rate cuts sooner or later." Adjust dynamically according to data and expectations, strictly control positions, and reject one-sided subjective predictions. #从降息到加息, the Fed's disagreements are fully publicThis year, Japan has invested nearly $170 billion to stabilize the yen.
Within just four months, three rounds of large-scale foreign exchange market interventions were launched in succession.
The single-day intervention scale even approached $59 billion at one point, an unprecedented level of intensity.
However, after each rapid rally, the yen quickly pulled back again.
The reason is not complicated—the spread has not changed.
As long as the interest rate gap between the US and Japan persists, arbitrage funds will continue borrowing low-yield yen and convert it into US dollars to allocate higher-yielding assets. This is the core logic behind the yen's long-term pressure.
Data shows:
From late April to the end of May, Japan invested a total of about 11.73 trillion yen (about 73.6 billion USD) to intervene in the foreign exchange market;
At the end of July, another suspected move occurred, with a single-day scale of about $59 billion, and the following day possibly adding another $36.6 billion;
The cumulative amount of intervention across three rounds has approached $170 billion, with nearly $100 billion invested in just the past 48 hours.
Such a large-scale investment is enough to demonstrate the officials' determination to stabilize the exchange rate.
However, it should be noted that forex market intervention mainly affects short-term trends and cannot change long-term trends.
As long as the US-Japan interest rate gap does not narrow significantly, the market's arbitrage logic still holds, and after the yen rebounds, it may face selling pressure again.
In other words:
Intervention can create short-term volatility and even squeeze some short positions; What truly determines the long-term direction remains monetary policy and the interest rate environment.
Therefore, the future market will focus not only on whether Japan will continue to intervene, but more importantly:
Whether there are new policy changes between the Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan, and whether the US-Japan interest rate spread is truly narrowing.

More and more data has reached the cycle bottom; Like the monthly trend strength index.
Other indicators, such as the Williams fractal, indicate that we have only completed the first of three bear market lows.
So, which one is correct?
My observation is that the data at the top of each triggered cycle decreases, while the data at the bottom of each trigger cycle increases. This means that most data reaching the cycle bottom is very important.
Indicators like the TSI will remain low for a long time; Indicators like the Williams fractal will form a third swing low as usual, and the cycle will close on time by year-end.Right now, the crypto world is the most vulnerable area for liquidation

The US and Japan jointly intervened in the yen—why must BTC traders pay attention?
Recently, joint intervention by the United States and Japan in the foreign exchange market has become a focal point in global financial markets. Facing the continued depreciation of the yen, the two countries made a rare joint purchase of the yen, successfully driving a rebound from its temporary low. The market generally believes that if the yen weakens sharply again, continued intervention by both sides cannot be ruled out.
Many people ask: What is the relationship between the yen exchange rate and Bitcoin?
The answer is: the yen is not just a currency, but also an important indicator of global capital flows.
For many years, the market has been notorious for its **yen carry trade.** Because Japan has maintained low interest rates for a long time, many institutions borrow the very low-cost yen and reinvest in higher-yielding assets such as US stocks, bonds, and cryptocurrencies. When the yen continues to depreciate, this strategy often works smoothly; But if the yen suddenly appreciates, arbitrage funds may be forced to close out, triggering global risk asset volatility.
This is also why, whenever Japan intervenes in the exchange rate, not only is the foreign exchange market tense, but U.S., gold, BTC, and ETH are also affected.
If the yen appreciates rapidly, some leveraged funds may reduce their risk asset holdings, putting BTC under short-term pressure; But if the intervention only stabilizes the exchange rate without triggering large-scale deleveraging, market sentiment will gradually recover, and risk assets may have the opportunity to regain capital inflows.
What's even more noteworthy is that this intervention also involved the United States. The market generally believes this sends a signal—major economies want to avoid shocks from sharp exchange rate fluctuations that could impact global financial markets. However, several analysts also point out that intervention alone is unlikely to change the yen's trend in the long term; ultimately, it depends on the Bank of Japan's monetary policy, US interest rate levels, and whether the interest rate differential between the two countries changes.
For crypto traders, what truly deserves attention from this news is not the yen itself, but whether global liquidity has changed. If the yen stabilizes, the dollar weakens, US Treasury yields fall, and BTC spot ETFs maintain net inflows, Bitcoin is still expected to remain strong; Conversely, if the yen fluctuates sharply again, triggering global capital deleveraging, short-term volatility in the crypto market could also be significantly amplified.
How long do you think the US and Japan can jointly intervene in the foreign exchange market to stabilize the market? Will BTC continue to operate independently, or will it once again be affected by global liquidity flows? Feel free to leave your comments and join the discussion.The rate cut that the market had hoped for has yet to materialize, leading to disagreements within the Federal Reserve, with several members advocating for further monetary tightening. Long-term U.S. Treasury yields are rising, and high interest rates are likely to persist for a long time. The situation directly affects various assets such as the US dollar, gold ($XAU), and stock markets, causing global capital markets to remain volatile. Market Impact 1: US $MU $SKHYNIX $NVDA $SAMSUNG $SNDK High interest rates remain long-term, U.S. Treasury risk-free yields rise, and funds will withdraw from risky stocks. High-valuation growth stocks such as AI and semiconductors, which rely on long-term earnings, will be hit hardest, with valuations compressed. The market will show significant divergence, with high-dividend stable sectors showing relative resilience, and Nasdaq volatility increasing noticeably, making it difficult for the market to break out of a full-blown bull market. 2. Bitcoin $BTC is now deeply tied to institutional funds, with its trend highly linked to US tech stocks. Bitcoin itself does not generate interest, and with high interest rates, the opportunity cost of holding it increases. Incremental funds are less willing to enter the market, making it hard to achieve a one-sided surge. Most of the market is range-bound, and once US stocks experience sell-offs, Bitcoin will also be under pressure and pull back. 3. Ethereum $ETH Ethereum is more volatile than Bitcoin, not only suppressed by macro interest rates but also affected by on-chain ecosystems and altcoin markets. When funds are on safe havens, they prioritize selling medium-risk crypto assets like ETH. Only when market liquidity is loose will it experience independent rebounds, and during high interest rate periods, the sustain of upward moments is poor. The biggest change at the Federal Reserve this yearAlt rallies in the BTC main market are selective. The market confirms that not all alt stocks rise simultaneously, but only the surviving stocks rise. Summarizing the data presented in the original text, stocks with clear capital inflows include JTO, JELLYJELLY, BTC, OPG, BTCSLX, LAB, BSB, ALLO, and CHIP. On the other hand, BEAT, EDGE, COAI, TRUMP, RAVE, SPACE, SOPH, IP, AVNT, ZAMA, OFC, PIEVERSE, VIRTUAL, ACU, H, and MEGA are classified as losing upward momentum. Observation targets include MEME, EDEN, HUMA, ZKP, and METIS. The implications of this pattern are clear. It is not a phase of expanding overall market liquidity, but rather a phase where limited liquidity is shifting toward stocks with specific stories and trading volumes. This is far from the so-called alt season where all stocks rise simultaneously. In this environment, BTC, ETH, SOL, TAO, WLD, HA piece of news easily overlooked by the crypto community: the Boeing 737 Max 7 has finally received FAA certification, and its stock price immediately rose by 5.6%. After nearly a decade of certification delays and the shadow of two crashes, it has finally landed — this is a classic case of "bad news fully priced in, the boot drops." The same applies to our industry: when a long-awaited regulatory or event boot finally drops, it often marks not the start of risk, but a turning point in sentimenMost altcoins won't rise together—this sounds like nonsense, but most people in the market just lose because they think they'll all rise together. Do you know how small the coins currently rising make up a small proportion of the total market? When I recently flipped through the gainers' list, my first reaction wasn't excitement, but alertness. Because most coins are actually flat, and truly sustained coins are just a small handful. This isn't a general rally altseason; it's a typical 'picky period'—money is only crowded into places with strong narratives, sufficient liquidity, and clear upside potential. Those who remain, many don't even have the energy to follow the crowd. My own trading rhythm is also changing: I no longer just buy by who's falling harder, but only by who is repeatedly confirmed by the capital. For example, $JTO, $JELLYJELLY, and $BTC clearly have funds maintaining their price structure, so their movements are relatively clean. Meanwhile, $BEAT, $EDGE, and $COAI have clearly seen their momentum retreat and failed to rebound, making them a typical case of "funds withdrawing but the narrative still holding on." Behind this lies a point that many people tend to overlook: the market is not a "general rise, fall" but a "structural pricing" pattern. This means money is not distributed equally when the water level rises, but is a choice made within an existing environment. So you'll find that BTC sets its direction, ETH watches institutional sentiment, SOL stands for high risk appetite, and coins like $HYPE, $DOGE, and $ZEC act more like thermometers of market sentiment—when they move, it often signals that risk appetite is quietly fading#ISM创四年新高, U.S. Treasury yields have reversed
ISM data exceeded expectations, US Treasury yields fell, so why did BTC instead benefit from positive news?
Recently, the U.S. ISM Services PMI data exceeded market expectations. In theory, strong economic data usually means the Fed doesn't need to rush to cut rates, which should be bearish for risk assets. But the market has shown another trend—U.S. Treasury yields have actually retreated, and risk assets like BTC and ETH have found support. This has also been one of the most discussed topics in the market recently.
Why does this phenomenon of "good data leads to falling returns" occur?
The key point is that the market is not trading the data itself, but the expectations for the future.
The ISM exceeded expectations indicating that the U.S. economy still maintains some resilience, and corporate operations have not significantly cooled. This has eased market concerns about a "hard landing" for the economy, and investor risk appetite has somewhat recovered. At the same time, the market believes this data is not enough to fundamentally change the path of future rate cuts, so U.S. Treasury yields have not continued to rise but instead retreated. After yields fall, the appeal of holding bonds diminished, and some funds have begun to flow back into risk assets such as stocks and cryptocurrencies.
For the crypto world, what truly matters is the Treasury yield, not the ISM data itself.
In recent years, whenever the 10-year Treasury yield continued to fall, BTC often performed better. Because falling yields mean lower funding costs and improved market liquidity expectations, institutions are more willing to increase allocations to BTC, ETH, and tech stocks.
However, traders must not let their guard down. If future inflation data rises again, or if Fed officials send stronger hawkish signals, Treasury yields could rise again, and BTC could come under pressure once more.
Therefore, the real signal the market is sending this time is not "ISM exceeding expectations," but rather "funds are beginning to embrace risk assets again." If tech stocks continue to perform well in earnings reports, spot Bitcoin ETFs maintain net inflows, and US Treasury yields remain low, BTC is likely to continue challenging key resistance levels; Conversely, if yields rise again, the market may still return to a volatile pattern.
Do you think this round of U.S. Treasury yield declines will become an important catalyst for BTC's breakout, or is it just the beginning of a short-term rebound?#韩国杠杆ETF成交额降九成, the volatility narrowed
Family! This wave of leveraged ETF operations in Korea is simply brilliant! The turnover plummeted from 12.4 trillion won to 1.24 trillion won—a 90% decrease! 😱 Previously, the KOSPI had dropped 18% over three days, then surged 17.91% in a single day on July 31, setting a new record, but fell another 5.12% on August 3...... This roller coaster is making your heart feel like it's about to jump out of your chest!
Now that the leverage is basically squeezed out, the question arises: what remains for storage stocks next—is there "real demand" or "real selling pressure"? This directly affects the emotions of AI storytelling!
My judgment: Let's start with the 'real selling pressure' release period!
Why do I say that? The reason is super simple:
- Many of those previous 18% drops were passive liquidations and panic trading, not fundamentals truly broken!
- But on the day it surged 17.91%, the emotional premium was too high! Now giving up 5% feels more like a normal "breath" after the emotional tide fades~
- Real demand won't take over immediately after deleveraging; it needs time to confirm whether the price is truly "cheap"!
So in the short term, deposit stocks may need to "grind" a bit more, washing out those purely swing-bet funds, leaving only the "real demand" willing to hold onto the waiting cycle!
The supercycle extended to 2029-2030? A week of sharp rises and falls is the weakest reflection of fundamentals!
Institutions predict that the storage supercycle may be delayed until 2029-2030, but I think: the sharp price swings within a week actually reflect the fundamentals the least!
The real price range is after deleveraging and when sentiment stabilizes! This current fluctuation is purely emotion and leverage "fighting"!
To be honest, I haven't used much leverage lately, but I used to use it often, especially Bitcoin and Ethereum with 50x and 100x leverage. But when there were no other market trends, the volatility wasn't that big. Knockoffs also use leverage. But later I realized that using leverage usually leads to price surges. Once the market fluctuates big, it's easy to crash, so I hardly use leverage anymore
- Afraid of being proven wrong by rule changes! Raising the deposit is very difficult to predict in advance!
- Leverage profits from volatility, but the rules change the underlying logic! This risk is even more uncontrollable than the stock price fluctuations themselves!
- Watching and waiting isn't timidity; it's knowing which parts of the money you can't earn!
What about you? Has anyone been 'educated' by the new margin regulations this round? Come and chat in the comments section! 👇 🚨 Everyone is watching earnings... but the real story this week is happening inside the Fed.
Most traders are focused on quarterly reports, but the bigger signal is that the Fed's internal disagreement is no longer staying behind closed doors.
Three dissents at July's meeting were already rare. Now, some of the more hawkish members are openly reinforcing their views in public. Markets have barely reacted—and that lack of reaction is a signal in itself.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin is quietly showing resilience.
Despite Strategy selling another 1,638 BTC, price continues to hold above $63K. Compare that with the 3,500+ BTC sale in late July that triggered much heavier pressure. Selling has become smaller, yet buyers are still stepping in.
That points to something more important than short-term speculation:
📈 Real demand appears to be absorbing supply.
The next test comes this week.
🔹 Will hawkish Fed commentary finally pressure risk assets? 🔹 Will earnings from AMD and SpaceX keep sentiment constructive? 🔹 Or will Bitcoin continue proving that buyers are willing to absorb every wave of selling?
So far, the market has remained surprisingly calm.
Whether that calm reflects strength—or complacency—is what traders should be watching next.

#DailyOrbit #韩国杠杆ETF成交额降九成, the volatility narrowed
Those who have been watching tokenized SK Hynix lately should have noticed it. A few days ago, the price fluctuated up and down by more than ten points, but in the past couple of days, the volatility has clearly subsided. The root cause isn't in the crypto world, but in South Korea—regulators directly raised the basic margin for single-share leveraged ETFs to 30 million KRW, effectively cutting off retail investors' leverage.
The effect was immediate: Leveraged ETFs related to Samsung and SK Hynix saw single-day turnover jump from 12.4 trillion won to 1.24 trillion won—a 90% drop—making it the most decisive forced deleveraging in history.
Looking back at the Korean stock market's performance this week, it dropped 18% over three days, then on July 31 saw a single-day surge of 17.91%, setting a record high, and then gradually pulled back over the past two days. Many people at the time talked about sudden changes in storage cycles and AI logic disproven, but to put it bluntly, it was all a farce involving leveraged funds.
When prices fall, it's a chain of strong liquidations in high-leverage trading, creating a deep pit created by excessive sell-offs; When prices rose, it was the concentrated shorts covering + bottom-fishing leveraged funds rushing in, forcing the historical gains out of force. The entire process was a capital game; the industry fundamentals did not fundamentally change within a week.
Now that leverage has been drained and trading volume has been cut to the knees, this is the real "naked swimming moment." The subsequent trend will truly reflect whether the remaining market is genuine institutional buying or if there is no clean selling pressure.
Here is my judgment:
There is real demand, but it definitely can't support the previous high.
The storage industry cycle is bottoming out and rebounding, AI-driven HBM demand continues to surge, and institutions even say the supercycle can last into 2029-2030—these major logics are sound. But previously, Korean retail investors used leverage to push valuations to an absurd level, essentially driving the next two or three years of performance growth into the stock price in advance.
After the wave of leverage retreats, valuations will inevitably return to fundamentals. There will be no more extreme single-day rallies of just over ten points; volatility will continue to narrow, gradually entering a phase of oscillating bottoming and industry trends.
For those of us who play tokenized stocks, this is actually a good thing.
Previously, many people complained that these underlying currencies were even more volatile than altcoins, with technical analysis completely ineffective. Essentially, they were swayed by the leveraged sentiment of Korean stocks, with emotions maxed out, making fundamental trading impossible. As leveraged funds exit the market, the trend will increasingly align with the real logic of the US stock storage sector, with stronger trend patterns, making it more suitable for swing and medium- to long-term positioning, without staying up late to monitor the market and avoid insertion.
Back to trading: when Hynix hit a low recently, I bought a little over a hand, then rebounded near the previous high and sold off. It's not that I'm pessimistic about the storage sector, but I know that rally is built on leveraged sentiment, with a weak foundation. If you hold for too long, you're likely to ride a roller coaster.
On the contrary, now that I've almost used up my leverage, I've started preparing to build positions in batches. Only prices without leverage disturbances are considered long-term prices.
Have you participated in this round of surges and crashes in the Korean stock market? Profited or trapped? Do you think deposit stocks can stabilize or continue to decline in the future?
