$HYPE ## HYPE 7/31 Analysis **Direction: Short-term bearish, but fundamentals are slapping institutional faces 📉 ** --- Current price **around $56**, up 4% in 24 hours, but this is a bounce from the low of $52.84—don't be fooled. Down 14% in the past two weeks, down 13% in 30 days, and down 27%** from June's ATH of $76.97. --- **First, the bad news—ETFs and VCs are running. ** HYPE ETF recorded its first monthly net outflow in July: **$13.33 million**. It entered $132 million when it first launched in May, $161 million in June, and then reversed in July. Even more impressive, Multicoin Capital unstaked **$120 million worth of HYPE** on July 22, then transferred $7.51 million to Coinbase Prime. Bitwise also transferred $1.23 million. The most ironic thing is: on June 25, Multicoin just released a research report saying HYPE's 2028 target price was **$319**, but a month later it exited first. This is what institutions say one thing and one wallet holds. --- **But the good news is also significant—this business is truly capable. ** Q2 protocol revenue was **$201.8 million**, of which $178.7 million came from perpetual contract transaction fees. Cumulative revenue exceeded **$1 billion** in less than two years. Open interest surged to **$10.5 billion**, ranking second among global derivatives exchanges, just behind Binance. At the start of the year, it was less than $4 billion. More importantly, HIP-3 traditional asset contracts — in the third week of July, contributed **$25.1 billion in trading volume**, accounting for 52% of the platform's total trading volume, surpassing pure crypto trading for the first time. Single stock contracts, commodities, and indices were all running. ARK Invest said Hyperliquid handled **63%** of the total on-chain derivatives that week. --- **Grayscale Valuation Model**: Based on 2027 revenue forecasts, earnings per share are about $3.25-3.75. HYPE is now trading at **15-18x forward-looking PE**. Compared to Coinbase's 35x and Circle's 40x, it's indeed cheap. But HYPE is not equity, and holders do not own the agreement—this comparison has its limitations. On July 29, a16z withdrew **$7.33 million** of HYPE from the exchange, the only institutional giant still buying. --- **Technicals**: RSI 34.5, Fear and Greed 28. Support at $53.08 (strong support at 91 points), resistance at **$56.71**. A rebound is needed above $56.7; a drop below $53 requires a bottom. --- **Conclusion: Don't rush to copy, but keep a close watch. ** Institutional exits + ETF outflows are real selling pressure; don't resist the trend in the short term. But if the $50-53 range is reached, fundamental support is real. Grayscale says it's cheap, a16z is still buying, protocol revenue is rising. Wait for two signals: ETF outflows narrowing and turning positive, or Multicoin stopping deposits to exchanges. Don't take the dagger before these two signals appear.💥 The nth time I slapped and broke my thigh! SanDisk surged violently late at night, I sold it off! Brothers, you left early! Brothers, you left early! SanDisk closed positions near 1200, but unexpectedly, overnight it launched a violent rally, with a single-day surge of nearly 26%. 📈 The volatility is even more outrageous than that of altcoins. Unfortunately, he left early to sell the tickets; if he had held on, he could have earned more than ten times the profit. Perhaps this is fate's arrangement; the market will never go against everyone's expectations. Let's talk about last night's US stock market and the main reasons behind SanDisk's sudden counterattack: 1. Previously experienced deep halving and short-taking, with profit-taking positions concentrated to take profits and close positions, and a large number of short positions covering directly boosted the price rebound; 2. The storage sector collectively rose in resonance, with Micron and Western Digital surging simultaneously, as funds renegotiated the inflection point of the storage cycle. 3. The market corrects its previous excessive pessimism, with funds repricing the long-term rigid demand for AI server storage; 4. Low-level bottom-fishing institutions entering the market, completing short-term sentiment recovery, and blowing up retail investors who were selling at high prices and missing out at low levels. Now, with the August 5th earnings report approaching, the major rally still hasn't settled. The main force is pushing the market, so just bear with it! If the main players are selling down, just endure it! Institutional whales keep trading between long and short, and ordinary people can never accurately tap every high and low point. Taking delivery under wind and sun, saving up every penny, always hoping to turn things around on the market—missing out is truly the hardest to endure. Whether you're missing out or getting stuck, on the path of trading, cultivating your mindset always comes first. $SNDK 🚀 Bitcoin (BTC) Posts a 0.31% Gain as Bullish Momentum Holds $BTC Bitcoin (BTC) has climbed 0.31% over the past 24 hours, extending its steady upward trajectory as buyers continue to support the market. Although the gain is modest, it reflects sustained confidence in Bitcoin amid improving overall crypto sentiment. The world's largest cryptocurrency remains comfortably above key support levels, with investors closely watching resistance zones that could determine the next significant move. A successful breakout may attract additional buying pressure, while a period of consolidation could help build a stronger foundation for future gains. Market participants are also keeping an eye on macroeconomic data, institutional investment activity, and ETF inflows, all of which continue to influence Bitcoin's medium-term outlook. As the leading digital asset, BTC often sets the tone for the broader cryptocurrency market, making its price action an important indicator for traders and investors alike. If buying momentum continues to strengthen, Bitcoin could pave the way for renewed optimism across the crypto sector. #USQ2GDP1.5% #AppleQ3BeatButGuidance #MSFTCutsCapex 📊 Market Overview: The high-level tug-of-war among RWA leaders $ONDO Recently, it has surged from $0.31 to around $0.40 in three weeks, an increase of about 30%. However, the recent upward momentum has clearly stalled near 0.41, with prices entering high-level volatility and intensifying the divergence between bulls and bears. --- 🔒 Support Level (Bullish Defense) · First support range: 0.39 - 0.40. The EMA50 is near 0.39, a key support previously confirmed by technical analysis, and prices stabilized and rebounded around this area last week. · Core support levels: 0.37 - 0.38. The lower Bollinger Bands at 0.37 form resonant support with the 200-day EMA at around 0.38. The lower band of the Bollinger Bands at 0.37 on the previous day was also marked as key support. · Ultimate defense: 0.34 - 0.35. There is a large purchase wall costing over $310,000 stationed here. It also represents the potential higher low formed after the daily triangle breakout. If it falls, it will open up room for a pullback toward 0.30 or even the 0.21-0.23 range. 🚀 Pressure Level (Bear Fortress) · First resistance level: 0.42 - 0.44. The upper band of 0.42 forms short-term resistance, with 0.44 being the resistance level within the triangle. · Core resistance zone: 0.45 - 0.48. Analyst Michaël van de Poppe pointed out a breakout target at 0.48, which is the upper boundary of the daily triangle. · Medium-term ceiling: 0.9965. The location of the macro downtrend line still has a considerable gap away — which also means there is a long resistance zone above. --- 🐋 On-chain market players and whale movements · Institutional Buying Moves: Asset management firm 21Shares recently purchased about 12.776 million $ONDO from exchanges, valued at approximately $55.14 million. Previously, another entity transferred 178 million ONDO (worth about $61 million) from Coinbase Prime Custody in six batches to multiple addresses. · ⚠️ Severe whale divides: alongside institutional buying, whale share reduction coexists. Since July 27, whales (excluding exchanges) have reduced their holdings from 7.6 billion to 7.58 billion, reducing holdings by about 20 million to approximately $7.8 million. During the same period, ONDO dropped more than 6% within 24 hours. Additionally, addresses associated with the Ondo team recently deposited 26.05 million ONDO (about $9.79 million) to Coinbase, while other whale addresses 0x7C8 continue to sell over $1 million worth of ONDO to Coinbase. · Extremely long and short ratio is extremely high: Currently, the ratio is as high as 1.93, with long positions accounting for 65.9%—long positions are extremely crowded, and if the direction reverses, liquidation pressure will be extremely severe. --- 📈 Positive factors (fundamental support) · The absolute leader in the RWA sector: Ondo holds about 60%-70% of the tokenized equity issuance market share, manages approximately $3.6 billion in proxy assets, and is the largest issuer of tokenized U.S. Treasury bonds and equities. BlackRock executives have called Ondo's tokenization infrastructure the industry's "gold standard." · Institutional-level infrastructure implementation: Ondo joins the DTCC tokenization program, alongside BlackRock and J.P. Morgan; Collaboration with Japan's SBI Group to tokenize Japanese assets; Ondo Perps allows users to use tokenized stocks (such as NVDA, AAPL) as collateral for up to 20x leveraged trading. · Spot ETF Expectations: Swiss asset management firm 21Shares has applied to the SEC for a spot ONDO ETF—opening up possibilities for long-term institutional capital inflows. · The next unlock will be in January 2027: the massive unlock of 1.94 billion tokens (61% of market cap) on January 18 has already been priced in by the market, and the next large-scale unlock will be in January 2027—the supply side will be relatively clean over the next six months. --- 📉 Bearish Factors (Potential Risks) · Acquisition rumors denied: On July 30, reports surfaced that Ondo planned to acquire assets worth $250 million to $500 million, but the company immediately denied it. Although the news once pushed prices up by 6%, sentiment quickly declined after the denial—this "rumor-debunk" pattern often accompanies short-term peaks. · Whale Divides and Team Sell-offs: Institutional buying and whale sell-offs coexist. The team's associated address deposited nearly ten million dollars into the exchange—regardless of usage, large-scale transfers into exchanges are often interpreted as potential selling preparations. · Multiple technical resistances: spot and contract CVD decline simultaneously, with genuine selling pressure and speculative pressure intertwined; The price is below VWAP and has dropped to 0.4944; both SuperTrend and Ichimoku Cloud show bearish market structures. · Long positions are extremely crowded: a long-short ratio of 1.93 means the vast majority of traders are on the same side. Historical experience shows that this extreme consistency often starts with a bullish cleanup. --- 💎 Summary $ONDO is at a crossroads between the "strongest fundamentals period" and "short-term chip games." Institutions like 21Shares are heavily buying, DTCC integration, SBI collaboration, spot ETF expectations—the long-term narrative is solid. However, the short-term signals from on-chain data are not optimistic: whales are reducing their holdings, team addresses are depositing on exchanges, the long-short ratio is as high as 1.93, and the price is repeatedly blocked around 0.41. 0.39-0.40 is the immediate life-or-death line—if it holds, the bulls still have a chance to challenge 0.42-0.44; if it falls below 0.37, it could trigger a bullish stamp, pushing toward 0.34 or even 0.30. Smart money placed limit buy orders at 0.34-0.35, waiting to harvest, while you chased the high at 0.41—who's positioning, who's taking over? The answer is already clear. #苹果第三财季业绩超预期, the stock price plunged #美联储三票主张加息 after hours, with PCE becoming the new highlight tonight, #微软逆势下调资本开支 rising 8.5% after hours $SKHYNIX SK Hynix: AI storage leaders are also facing valuation pressure SK Hynix is one of the biggest winners in AI storage. Causes: HBM technology is leading. and deeply tied to the AI chip supply chain. However, the market has also diverged recently: Company profits have grown significantly, but the stock price has not fully reflected this. Causes: Investors are beginning to worry: Has the AI boom already overloaded expectations ahead of schedule? My viewpoint: The problem with SK Hynix is not that it has not grown. Instead, the market is shifting from "watching growth" to "seeing whether growth can exceed expectations." Outstanding companies also face valuation pressure.The US semiconductor and storage sectors saw an oversold rebound driven by improved macro liquidity expectations, but high valuations and concerns over a cyclical peak remain core contradictions. On July 30, the US East Coast saw $SNDK surge 25.99% with a single-day volume surge of 25.99%, closing at $1,279.96, reversing the previously extremely pessimistic technical pattern of a nearly 46% pullback from the $2,354 high to $998. This rebound directly drove the triple long semiconductor ETF to surge by more than 25%, confirming that the market's risk appetite for highly elastic tech assets has rapidly rebounded amid the Nasdaq's 2.78% surge. The factors driving this round of interactions are, in order, marginal improvement in macro liquidity due to rising expectations of Fed rate cuts, Microsoft's earnings dispelling concerns about AI capital expenditure, and technical short covering following previous excessive sell-offs. The cooling of U.S. inflation data has pushed U.S. Treasury yields down, and the U.S. dollar index has weakened, directly boosting valuation elasticity for U.S. tech stocks and risk assets such as crypto assets. In the upward scenario, US Treasury yields continue to fall and the US dollar index breaks below key support, accelerating global liquidity inflows into high-beta assets. If $SNDK's August 6 financial report discloses that AI server SSD revenue accounts for more than 60% and its gross margin remains high at 78%, it will confirm the long-term demand for AI storage, and the stock price is likely to approach the $1,500 option pain point. The failure signal of this scenario is either a strong rebound in the US dollar index or a downward revision of the August 6 earnings guidance. In the downward scenario, macro interest rate cuts fell short of expectations, and gold and crypto assets were the first to pull back due to tighter liquidity, putting pressure on the US semiconductor sector as well. $SNDK The current TTM P/E ratio of 43x is much higher than the reasonable storage cycle range of 8-15x, confirming that the valuation bubble has not been fully digested. If the August 6 earnings report shows that the quarter-on-quarter increase in third-quarter NAND contract prices shrank below 10%, it will confirm the conclusion that the storage boom cycle has peaked, and the stock price may once again test the $998 support level. The failure signal of this scenario is the Fed's unexpectedly released rate cuts. The current wide fluctuations in gold and crypto assets reflect the market's wait-and-see sentiment ahead of the Federal Reserve's rate meeting, while the surge in US tech stocks has not yet fully transmitted to the crypto market. This cross-market divergence means that if the US stock rebound cannot be sustained, crypto assets will face greater pressure to catch up. If US stocks can hold firm, liquidity spillover effects will drive the crypto market to catch up in the coming days. The most important variable to watch over the next seven days is the trend of U.S. Treasury yields and $SNDK's latest earnings guidance released on August 6. #英伟达. Google provides massive guarantees for AI data center debt #微软逆势下调资本开支, rising 8.5% in after-hours trading.Today $MU Micron is rising, with the core catalyst coming from the overall improvement in sentiment in the storage sector. In the past, the market was worried: Storage price increases were just a short-term cycle. But now the logic has changed: AI servers require a large amount of high-performance memory. HBM has raised the profit ceiling for the storage industry. Micron's real opportunity: Is not to sell more ordinary memory. But to enter the AI supply chain and increase product value. My view: If HBM becomes the AI standard, Micron may be shedding its traditional cyclical stock label. #韩股波动剧烈引监管介入, the finance minister apologized for leveraged ETFs The Korean stock market went wild. KOSPI surged over 15% intraday, marking the largest single-day gain in history. Just a couple of days ago, it was still in circuit breakers, but today it filled half of the pitfalls from the past three days in one day. The Nikkei 225 also broke through 65,000 points, rising more than 5%. SK Hynix surged as much as 28% intraday, and Samsung Electronics rose 26%. This rebound has four driving forces: First, SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won personally bought stocks. For the first time, he made a direct personal purchase of SK Hynix stock. The company's stock price had plummeted 27% over the previous three trading days, and Choi Tae-won's move was seen by the market as "a vote of confidence in the long-term outlook." The chairman personally paid out of his own pocket to buy his own stock, sending a more direct signal than any research report. Second, the South Korean government has injected 20 trillion won (about $13.9 billion) into the stock market for strategic investments in AI, data centers, and infrastructure. This is the first time a South Korean sovereign wealth fund has been authorized to invest in domestic assets. The government finally couldn't sit still. It's fine to drop, but it can't drop to the point where no one dares to buy. Third, Japan and South Korea are suspected of jointly interfering in the foreign exchange market. On Thursday, South Korea's foreign exchange authorities implemented a rare intervention to sell the dollar, pushing the won to appreciate by 2% to a nine-month high. Japan simultaneously bought yen and sold dollars in the New York market. The Korean won has already risen more than 8% this month, potentially marking the largest single-month gain since March 2009. Two currencies that had been suppressed by the dollar for a long time suddenly strengthened simultaneously—the market immediately speculated: could Japan and South Korea have joined forces? South Korea's Deputy Finance Minister recently stated that "we are closely coordinating with major countries such as the United States and Japan in the foreign exchange market." Fourth, the rebound in Wall Street tech stocks provided an external environment. On Thursday, U.S. chip stocks surged, with the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index rising 9%, giving the Asian market a good start. Choi Tae-won bought stocks, the government spent 13.9 billion won, Japan and South Korea intervened together, and the US stock chip market rebounded—four events happened simultaneously, which led to today's 15% bullish candlestick. But there's a question worth pondering: Is this round a rebound or a reversal? NH Investment & Securities Company holds the view: "Recently, the AI technology sector, driven by deleveraging, derisking, closing positions, and other liquidity factors, has accelerated sell-offs and may be stabilizing." A few words can be used to sing it again—"It may be stabilizing." It's not 'has already reversed', but rather 'possibly' + 'stabilizing'. The official stance remains cautious. KOSPI has fallen more than 30% from its June high, and now it's up 15% in one day. It's a pattern of falling more and rebounding stronger. But whether the AI narrative can revive valuations, whether chip demand can be sustained, and whether Micron's SK Hynix earnings can continue to exceed expectations are the core variables determining the sustainability of this rebound. My TQQQ grid order is still running. Last night, the Nasdaq rose 2.6%, and today Japan and South Korea continued to rebound, with the strategy still operating automatically. Previously, it went from -10% to +7%, and now there may be several more transactions. The advantage of grid orders is that you don't need to judge whether this is a rebound or a reversal—as long as the price fluctuates within the range, it will automatically reverse. As for whether this surge in Asian stock markets will be a rebound or a reversal, we'll wait until this week is over. $SAMSUNG $SKHYNIX $QQQ AEHR continues to hold bullish pressure.

Today, SanDisk became the focus of the storage sector, with its stock price surging sharply. Behind this rally is not just AI demand. The market trades the following: The storage industry is experiencing a supply and demand reversal. In recent years: Manufacturers expand production → prices fall → profits decline. Now: Demand for AI data centers is increasing, while supply is becoming more cautious. Investors began to think: Storage may shift from a cyclical industry to a part of AI infrastructure. My viewpoint: SanDisk's biggest change is that the market no longer only looks at NAND prices. Instead, they are watching: Will the growth of data in the AI era bring long-term storage demand?AI monetization reveals the boundaries: Azure 43%, AWS 37%, Meta 59.4 billion in advertising—what do they each mean? All three companies mentioned AI in their official results, but the levels of reconcilable financial disclosures differed. Microsoft reported a 43% increase in Azure and other cloud services revenue; Amazon disclosed AWS revenue of $42.232 billion, up 37%; Meta disclosed $59.363 billion in advertising revenue, up about 27.5%. The three figures represent product growth rate, accounting segment revenue, and revenue category. They cannot be directly added together in the same table or used to determine which AI has the highest revenue. Microsoft's 43% comes from the growth rate of official products and services from Azure and other cloud services, not from Azure alone. The accounting division Intelligent Cloud generated revenue of $39.306 billion and operating profit of $15.955 billion; Cross-segment Microsoft Cloud revenue was $59.3 billion. Azure, Intelligent Cloud, and Microsoft Cloud are three different terms: $59.3 billion is called Azure revenue, or segment profit margin is called Azure gross margin, both exceeding company disclosures. Amazon's AWS is a clearer accounting division. This quarter, revenue was $42.232 billion, operating profit was $16.621 billion, with a simple segment operating margin of about 39.4%. The company also noted that both the AWS AI and chip businesses have annualized revenue rates exceeding $25 billion, showing triple-digit growth; These two run rates are not Q2 GAAP revenue, nor are there any category overlaps disclosed, so they cannot be directly added together to replace AWS segment tables. Meta has not separately disclosed generative AI revenue. Q2 advertising revenue was $59.363 billion, with ad impressions up 18% and average ad price up 8%; Companies can discuss the benefits of recommendation and advertising tools in management statements, but financial statements do not attribute how much advertising revenue is solely to a single model. Calling total ad increments AI revenue means mixing user growth, demand, pricing, placement, and product improvements. The profit side must also adhere to disclosure boundaries. Microsoft's Intelligent Cloud segment posted operating profit of $15.955 billion, not the independent profits of Azure or Copilot; AWS's $16.621 billion is the full segment profit, not Trainium's returns; Meta Family of Apps posted operating profit of $23.394 billion, covering advertising and core apps, and did not have a separate Meta AI list. Partial profits that the company has not disclosed cannot be supplemented by multiplying the total by the self-estimation ratio. Demand commitments and recognized revenue are also different. Microsoft's commercial RPO was $678 billion, representing contracted but not yet confirmed commercial performance obligations; Amazon mentioned Anthropic and OpenAI's multi-year, multi-gigawatt-hour commitment to Trainium; Meta's full-year capital expenditure bracket reflects construction plans. RPO, customer commitments, and capital expenditure guidance can all provide visibility, but none are considered quarterly revenue. Cash returns are still at various stages. Microsoft's Q4 operating cash flow after deducting cash equipment purchases still had a simplified balance of about $19.639 billion; Meta defined Q2 free cash flow at $784 million; Amazon's free cash flow over the past twelve months was negative $7.604 billion. These figures are influenced by period and company definitions and cannot be directly considered cash returns from AI projects, but it is clear that infrastructure investments are changing the group's cash structure. Therefore, AI financial reports should consistently mark four pieces of evidence: recognized revenue, product or segment growth, annualized operating rate or contract commitments, and management outlook. Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta all have real evidence of business growth, yet none have fully disclosed their standalone income, gross profit, capital expenditures, and free cash flow for generative AI this quarter. Maintaining this boundary won't weaken the AI core storyline; instead, it allows future quarters to use the same official column to verify whether monetization has truly expanded.But looking at OKX tokenized US stocks: **XSOXL 3x long lead led up 33.85%, trading $7.01 million; XSNDK 3x short NASDAQ up 35.26%**. Gamblers are all playing with triple leverage on US stock indices, while BTC has become a boring safe-haven asset. Where did the money go? This can be seen from the shrinking BTC OI and counterfeit trading volume—**all liquidity is being absorbed by US leveraged ETFs**. Strategy lost 8.2 billion yuan in Q2; whales can't even hold up relying on BTC payrolls, while retail investors are still fantasizing about the knockoff season? The knockoff list is even more outrageous: GRVT rose 389%, AEON fell 13%. **Chasing the rally becomes fuel, cutting losses becomes stepping stones**. In the current market, staying up is winning; moving means losing.📊 Market Overview: Extreme compression before the storm $ADA is currently in a rare low-volatility quiet period—with a 24-hour range of just $0.0072, one of the narrowest ranges among mainstream cryptocurrencies. Binance's spot trading volume was only $16.4 million, with both bulls and bears holding their breath in the market. --- 🔒 Support Level (Bullish Defense) · First support range: 0.160 - 0.161. This is the lower boundary of the recent consolidation range, the "key support" pointed out in the July 29 analysis. The target price for the short-term short trading plan is also around 0.161-0.165. · Core support level: 0.155. This is a dense stop-loss zone for long positions; if it falls below it, it could trigger a chain liquidation. A break below 0.155 will open up space toward 0.150-0.152. · Ultimate defense: 0.138 - 0.148. 0.138 is the key Fibonacci support level; 0.1488 is the June low. Once it breaks through 0.138, it will fully open up downside space. 🚀 Pressure Level (Bear Fortress) · First resistance level: 0.168 - 0.169. The upper boundary of the current consolidation range is also the dividing line between short-term bulls and bears. · Core resistance zone: 0.17 - 0.176. The 20-day moving average (0.17) has completely shifted from support to resistance; the 50-day moving average is near 0.176. Double suppression forms a barrier that bulls find difficult to cross. · Mid-term ceiling: 0.197 - 0.20. The location of the long-term downtrend line. Last week, ADA tried to break above $0.20 but quickly pulled back. --- 🐋 On-chain market players and whale movements · Sharp divide between whales and retail investors: whale addresses holding 100,000 to 100 million ADA have a combined holdings exceeding 25.6 billion, the highest since February 2023; Meanwhile, small wallets holding fewer than 100 coins saw their holdings drop by 0.7% over four months. This is a typical divergence pattern, where smart money is accumulating while retail investors are cutting losses. · In the past 7 days, holdings exceeded 30 million coins: large-denomination addresses held 5.69 billion coins, pushing ADA's market value to 15th place at one point. Santiment data shows this is sustained accumulation rather than single-batch concentrated buying. · Bought a total of 120 million coins in the past week: Since the week of July 20, whales have accumulated holdings of about 120 million $ADA. · ⚠️ Key contradictory signal: Despite whales buying, the perpetual contract funding rate has turned negative (about -0.014%), with top traders' long-short ratio as high as 2.51 (71.5% long), and retail long positions as high as 69.2%. Long positions are highly crowded—when smart money and retail investors are on the same side, the market often experiences a round of long liquidation and clean-up. --- 📈 Positive factors (fundamental support) · Whales continue to accumulate profits: while prices have fallen near multi-year lows, whales have bucked the trend by increasing their positions to nearly three-and-a-half-year highs—this is often an important signal for medium- to long-term bottoms. · Continuous advancement of technical upgrades: Leios testnet development, Hydra scaling upgrades, Mithril progress, Pyth oracle integration, and more. The total supply of 45 billion ADA has long been fully unlocked, with over 55% locked in staking, and an annual inflation rate of only 2.5%. · Stable staking yield: ADA staking yields are about 3%-5%, with a long-term staking rate of 60%-70%, providing some bottom support for the price. 📉 Bearish Factors (Potential Risks) · Long positions are extremely crowded: top traders' long-short ratio is 2.51, retail long positions 69.2%, and open interest has risen to $78 million. Prices are stagnant but OI is rising—this is a typical bullish trap signal. · EMA is suppressing across the board: prices are well below the 50-day (0.176), 100-day (0.202), and 200-day (0.24) moving averages. The 20-day moving average of 0.17 has shifted from support to a ceiling. · Ecosystem Setbacks: EMURGO Withdraws from Cardano Governance Group, TapTools Ceases Operations, Singapore Summit Cancelled. Founder Hoskinson even warned that DeFi projects could face a "wave of failures." · Extremely sluggish volume: $16.4 million spot volume was far below historical averages, with a lack of buyers entering the market. · Long-term forecasts are seriously out of place: at the beginning of the year, institutions predicted a year-end target of $0.42-3.50, which is completely out of sync with actual prices. --- 💎 Summary $ADA is standing at a critical crossroads. On-chain whales have been accumulating shares to nearly three-and-a-half-year highs over the past few weeks, signaling a medium- to long-term optimistic outlook; However, the short-term technical situation is extremely oppressive—EMA is being suppressed across the board, long positions are extremely crowded, trading volume is drying up, and the ecosystem is facing setbacks one after another. 0.168-0.17 is the immediate life-or-death line; a breakout could lead to a recovery toward 0.176 or even 0.197; a break below 0.155 could trigger long liquidations, pushing straight to 0.138. The current extreme low volatility will not last long—ATR is only $0.01 (about 6% of the price), and historically, such compression has often been accompanied by sharp one-way fluctuations of 6-10%. Whales are buying, but the bulls are too crowded—who will ultimately trigger the direction may reveal itself in the next few trading days. #美联储三票主张加息, PCE becomes a new highlight tonight. #微软逆势下调资本开支, up 8.5% in after-hours trading. #财报观察员: Microsoft Cloud revenue surpasses 100 billion, but Meta's guidance is disappointing—Is the AI story diverging? Just now, everyone was waiting for the Fed to speak, but they just turned off 🎤 the microphones. The market seemed calm on the surface, but the underlying structure had quietly shifted. At this press conference, Walsh's harshest statement wasn't what he said, but his statement: "No more forward-looking guidance." What does this mean? The comfortable days of "setting an early ambush for interest rate cuts and a week of speeches" have officially come to an end. From now on, every rate decision will only look at real-time data, effectively pulling out the market's "expectation anchor." Many may not have noticed that this shift fundamentally impacts the pace of transactions. Previously, everyone debated "what the Fed would think," but now it's become "how will I move when the data comes out?" The disappearance of expectation management means the one-sided trend will decrease, replaced by random shakeouts and pulse swings. Everyone is waiting for the next data point; no one dares to bet on the direction in advance. Statements on inflation are also hawkish. He said that a single drop in data does not represent a turning point, and short-term expectations for rate cuts have basically been disproven. The policy focus remains on controlling inflation and will not provide a safety net for a declining market. For risk assets, this signal is not a direct sell-off, but rather makes "bottom-fishing" even more dangerous—because no one knows if there are policies supporting the market downward. In my holdings, I kept short Biting and Ethereum. But for AI-related stocks like SanDisk and Hynix, I tend to view volatility.

SN44 is the native token of the Score subnet within the Bittensor ecosystem, with the project's main focus on computer vision and video recognition applications. Market interpretation is biased bullish SN44. Kraken's launch itself does not equate to fundamental revaluation, but it will directly improve the token's centralized trading entry point and visibility, adding value to the liquidity narrative of Bittensor subnet assets. Short-term funds tend to chase rallies around "subnet + new exchange liquidity," focusing on whether trading volume and order book depth can be held after launch; If volume cannot keep up, the risk of a pullback after the listing benefits are realized will be amplified. Source: Kraken #SN44 #TAO #Crypto100W Damn, I lost 820U, and my long positions are stuck at 65,347. This $BTC consolidation is making my mindset feel like it's about to collapse! Last night, $BTC surged to 65,180. I stared at the screen, my heart racing, thinking I was about to break even, but today it fell back to 64,776, just 570 USD short of breaking even. With 19x leverage, long positions tremble with every jump. Do you think this dog farm is watching my account operations? $BTC rose 0.79% in the 24 hours, with a trading volume of 244.08M USDT, but the volume shrank by 38.70% compared to the previous 24 hours. The market fluctuated narrowly between 63,904 and 65,180, with both bulls and bears testing the waters, and neither side wanted to act first. This sideways movement is even more troubling than a crash. At least you can cut your losses during a crash, but sideways trading is like boiling a frog in warm water. 📊 Technical side: Bollinger Bands closed, the dead silence before the storm closed at 1.63%, upper band 65,200, lower band 64,146, price fluctuating near the middle band 64,673. The saying that Bollinger Bands must be amplified at the end of the band has been said for ten years, but the problem is when it will be amplified—right now, it's the dead silence before the storm. The MACD green bars are still shrinking, but the DIF line at 149.6 is still below the DEA line at 166.5, indicating that bearish momentum has not completely died out. The funding rate of +0.01% is not high, and the holding is 2 billion USD, which shows that big funds are watching and waiting; no one dares to dump or push aggressively. Look at this trading volume shrinking by 38.70%. This data is quite interesting. Contracting sideways trading usually means the market is accumulating momentum but the direction is unclear.Bitcoin ETF returns to positive cash flow 💰 The Spot BTC ETF has just recorded about $32 million in inflows, ending a streak of 4 net drawdown sessions! After more than $500 million in consecutive outflows, institutional cash flows have returned even though the BTC price is still around $64k. IBIT continues to lead. Meanwhile, ETH ETF is still under slight drawdown pressure. Traders who look at this number will not be in a hurry to rejoice. Inflow is small compared to the old peak, but the important thing is timing: it comes at a time when the market is testing sentiment after the FOMC. ETF trading volume is stable, not pure short-term waves. Private Insights: The market is shifting from "selling on bad news" to "buying on fear". If cash flow remains above $30-50 million for a few more sessions, institutional demand will begin to weigh on retail supply. Which side wins: Will inflow push BTC to $67k fast, or just enough to hold the current range?📊 盘面速览：W底突破后的关键考验 $UNI 近期完成了一轮技术性突破——7月20日触底至3.413后，在3.70-3.80附近形成双底，随后一路拉升至当前区间。MA5（4.170）> MA10（4.057）> MA30（3.896），均线多头堆叠。但链上与衍生品数据发出了矛盾信号。 --- 🔒 支撑位（多头防线） · 第一支撑区间：4.17 - 4.20。MA5均线所在位置，同时是此前下降趋势线突破后转化的关键支撑区。守住此位则多头结构完好。 · 核心支撑位：4.05 - 4.057。MA10均线所在，若跌破将是短线首次走弱信号。 · 终极防线：3.89 - 3.90。MA30均线及布林带中轨区域。一旦放量击穿，意味着趋势可能逆转。 🚀 压力位（空头堡垒） · 第一压力位：4.477。24小时高点，近期拉升的阶段性天花板。 · 核心阻力区：4.58 - 4.60。下一技术目标位，突破此处需成交量显著放大配合。 · 中期天花板：5.05。市场讨论的下一关键上方位置。2025年12月预测的1月目标5.35至今未能触及，说明4以上存在持续抛压。 --- 🐋 链上庄家与巨鲸动向 · 做市商Cumberland大举买入：链上数据显示，做市商Cumberland在数小时内集中买入约162万枚UNI（约677万美元），平均成本约4.17美元。随后将其中超122万枚转入与Monetalis关联的非交易所钱包，该钱包目前持有约335万枚UNI，价值超1440万美元。大额代币转入非交易所钱包通常被解读为偏中长期持有意图。 · a16z仍是最大持仓方：据Rootdata统计，a16z Crypto持有的最大仓位仍是UNI代币，约4400万枚（价值超5.7亿美元），分布在多个地址。因持有UNI占比过多，a16z曾多次陷入Uniswap提案治理风波。 · 巨鲸整体呈积累态势：随着UNIfication提案（激活费用并销毁UNI）的推进，巨鲸们已开始积累UNI。2026年上半年，有地址撤出约2250万美元的UNI流通供应量，巨鲸持续增持导致流通量日益缩减。 --- 📈 利好因素（基本面支撑） · 通缩机制全面加速：UNIfication提案已激活协议费用开关，v2和v3池产生的费用将用于买入并销毁UNI。该提案还包含对1亿枚UNI的追溯性销毁（约9.4亿美元）。自2025年底以来，费用开关已燃烧超1.06亿枚UNI（>10%供应量）。过去一周销毁率从5.1万美元激增三倍至超16万美元。 · Robinhood Chain整合落地：Uniswap被采用为Robinhood新Layer 2区块链的原生AMM。超430档代币化股票正通过Uniswap路由交易。Robinhood Chain近期10天交易量已突破60亿美元。 · 新治理提案扩大销毁范围：Uniswap启动新投票，拟将v4交易池手续费与Robinhood Chain跨链交易费用纳入回购与销毁范围。三项提案覆盖以太坊、Base、Arbitrum、Robinhood、BNB Chain、Polygon和Optimism等多条链。 📉 利空因素（潜在风险） · 流动性提供者（LP）强烈反对：Gamma Strategies等主要LP反对V4费用启动，认为V4交易量仍落后于V3，且面临Hyperliquid等现货限价订单簿DEX的激烈竞争。自2018年以来LP累计赚取超50亿美元手续费，而协议仅获得2500万美元——新提案实质是将价值从LP转移给UNI持有者。 · “纸面全流通”背后的隐性抛压：UNI虽已完成全部解锁、流通率100%（10亿枚），但社区财库及团队/投资人/顾问出售数量仅8837万枚。绝大部分已解锁筹码暂未出售，实际流通仅约2.583亿枚（25.83%）。这意味着超7.4亿枚潜在抛压随时可能释放。 · 上涨动能存疑：价格虽涨但CT（Crypto Twitter）过去24小时几乎没有有意义的UNI分析。升幅完全由技术面和资金流推动，而非基本面或叙事逻辑驱动。 · 技术面超买信号：随机指标%K为85.52，已位于超买区间。MACD柱状图压缩至零，多头动能停滞。未平仓合约持续下降，一旦空头挤压结束，缺乏新增买盘支撑。 --- 💎 总结 $UNI 正处于“最强基本面时期”与“短期动能衰竭”的十字路口。Cumberland以4.17美元成本大举建仓并转入冷钱包，a16z等巨鲸持续持仓，通缩机制加速燃烧——长期逻辑坚实$UNI #美联储三票主张加息，今晚PCE成新看点 #微软逆势下调资本开支，盘后涨8.5% #财报观察员：微软云收入破千亿，Meta却指引拉胯——AI故事分化了？ Apple released its financial report for the third quarter of fiscal year 2026, ending at the end of June. This report was supposed to be an "honorable summary" from current CEO Tim Cook before stepping down, but the market responded harshly, with the stock plunging more than 4% in after-hours trading. Looking at the core financial data, Apple's performance this time was not bad. Total revenue reached $109.4 billion, not only exceeding Wall Street analysts' previous expectations but also showing a 16% year-on-year growth rate, demonstrating that this tech giant still maintains strong revenue-generating capabilities. The iPhone business remains solid as a core player, while Mac computer sales have exceeded expectations, becoming the two major highlights of the quarter. However, the glamorous figures on paper cannot hide hidden concerns; it is precisely these uncertainties that make investors choose to "vote with their feet." $SKHYNIX The first hidden concern lies in the "cooling" of future guidance. Apple's revenue guidance for the fourth quarter fell short of market expectations, citing supply chain constraints caused by "memory shortages." This means that even with strong demand, product supply may lag behind, which could suppress next quarter's performance. The second hidden concern is even more critical: the growth engine is "stalling." The Greater China business and service business, considered Apple's most important growth drivers for the future, both fell short of expectations this time. Revenue data for Greater China failed to meet analysts' model forecasts, reigniting concerns about Apple's competitiveness in China; The service business, as the core of Apple's shift to "software-driven," saw its slowing growth also disappoint long-term investors $SLX Excellent. Looking at the comment section and the 2.27 million leading trading holders, then looking at Bian's contract data, the OKX bottom-fishing crowd is very authentic.

To elaborate, the BIAN contract only has 49 million coins, while OKE has 36.7 million coins. By the way, here's a reference: OKE is 65% higher than BIAN. You need to weigh the numbers to see if they're correct, hahaha. Keep resisting.#Significant Drop in Correlation Between Bitcoin and Nasdaq: Independence or Illusion Correlation plummets! Has Bitcoin completely detached from Nasdaq? Is the independent trend just a short-term illusion? In 2026, the market shows clear signs of divergence, with the linkage between Bitcoin and the Nasdaq 100 index cooling significantly. Data shows their 40-day rolling correlation coefficient dropped rapidly from nearly perfect synchronization at 0.96 in April to near zero. While Nasdaq continues to surge, Bitcoin remains range-bound. Many investors are proclaiming that crypto assets are entering an independent phase, but institutions generally warn that this decoupling is mostly a temporary illusion, and the long-term binding logic remains intact. There are multiple superficial reasons for the short-term decline in correlation. First, capital is flowing into different sectors; hot money is concentrated in AI tech stocks, with Nasdaq riding an independent bull market driven by computing power companies’ earnings. Meanwhile, spot Bitcoin ETFs see continuous net outflows, with institutional funds withdrawing from crypto markets, causing a complete split in the capital pools of the two asset classes. Second, the crypto market is driven by internal cycles: halving cycle corrections, rotation of funds into new on-chain sectors, and successive regulatory news from various countries disturb the market, making coin prices more driven by industry-specific events and weakening volatility transmission from US stocks. Third, market pricing expectations diverge: in a high interest rate environment, tech stocks benefit from AI profit realization, while Bitcoin’s interest-free nature faces pressure, causing a split in bullish and bearish pricing logic and resulting in inverse oscillation. However, this does not mean Bitcoin has fully decoupled. Fundamentally, both are liquidity-sensitive risk assets, highly bound to global US dollar liquidity over the long term. Institutional data shows Bitcoin’s correlation to global liquidity is 87%, Nasdaq’s is as high as 97%. Federal Reserve rate decisions, the US dollar index, and US Treasury yields remain core variables influencing the major trends of both asset classes. In the event of extreme liquidity shocks, such as an unexpected Fed rate hike or global risk aversion, synchronized price movements between stocks and Bitcoin will immediately return. Historical data also confirms the correlation is highly elastic. Short-term decoupling occurred multiple times in 2025 and 2026, but quarterly and annual correlations remained high. The current divergence is only a short-term phenomenon caused by temporary capital reallocation, not a structural change. For traders, it is unwise to blindly assume Bitcoin has entered an independent trend. Macro liquidity remains a critical variable that cannot be ignored, only temporarily reducing Nasdaq’s volatility impact on Bitcoin’s price, while the medium- to long-term linkage is difficult to sever completely. $BTC $SATS Margin contracts are basically liquidated, right? Since its launch, Sats has been falling continuously. Based on some nationality-specific mindsets, they have been betting on rebounds and rises during the decline, but the decline is just a decline, with support levels broken one by one during the decline. No altcoin has ever been as recognizable and popular as SATS. If SATS is set to delist for its historical mission, then this coin is truly special. SATS has sold massive amounts on exchanges, but there are still a large amount of coins in cold wallets, held by individuals, and also on different exchanges. Can't buy out! Sales never stop; everything is a pre-scripted script. The probability of this coin being delisted is much higher than the probability of "power intervention and violent reshuffling." When SATS is delisted, is it equivalent to USDT 1:1 exchange, or is it a high withdrawal fee? We'll see when the time comes. At the same time, here's the most straightforward data: since SATS was launched, spot trading on OKX alone has reached 10.5 billion USDT, and contract trading has reached 55 billion USDT. The second largest wallet on SATS accounts for less than 20%. How much have other exchanges traded? And will only increase? This does not include strategy trading and similar items. In other words, the transaction fees for a large amount of a single coin already cover the total value of the coin. Exchanges do not allocate the trading fees they earn to users or research sustainable development. On one hand, they feed a group of KLOs to keep profits from trading fees to keep recruiting people to replenish their pools; on the other, they issue massive amounts of new coins to crazily drive prices up to stimulate trading desire, under the guise of "community building," with Da Shayi being especially evident. When the speed of recruiting people can't keep up with the rate at which crypto pools are diluting, the value of crypto collapses dramatically, and 1011 is the inevitable outcome. After 1011, it's not that the over-issuance scheme can't continue, but that some exchanges have smashed all their trading posts just to protect themselves! Since 1011, meme coins have "gone viral smoothly due to the Hacker 4 incident," and the introduction of meme coins serves as a buffer pool to ensure the stability of the exchange's "token" value, since the "token" market cap is already in the hundreds of billions of USDT (this deserves praise from OKX, whose meme coins have never been very popular). In short, exchanges are fighting to protect their own territories. Everyone understands that besides Bitcoin, there is also some value with liquidity; junk coins and meme coins are all meant to strengthen their respective token moats. How can we break the deadlock? That is, in the eyes of "Wall Street," the price linkage mechanisms of various exchanges are just a piece of lucrative meat. Is the reason they aren't eating now because the exchanges are still laying eggs? Is the reason "power" not working is because they don't lack the money of the crypto world? I have high hopes for India and South Korea.An epic counterattack! South Korea's KOSPI surged over 15%, and the Nikkei broke through 65,000 points Play Tracking global stock market trends 2026-07-31 08:57 On Friday, Korean stocks surged over 15% intraday, marking the largest single-day intraday gain in history; The Nikkei 225 broke through 65,000 points. SK Group Chairman increased his stake in SK Hynix, and the South Korean government's 20 trillion KRW AI investment plan further boosted market confidence; The simultaneous strengthening of the Korean won and yen has also sparked speculation about joint intervention by Japan and South Korea. Asian stock markets rose on Friday after chip stocks rebounded and restored confidence in the AI industry. After the opening, South Korea's stock index surged, with the KOSPI index surging over 15% intraday, reaching 6,463 points as of press time, marking the largest single-day intraday gain in history. The Korea Exchange activated a sidecar mechanism for KOSPI, pausing programmatic trading for 5 minutes. In the previous three trading days, the benchmark index had plunged 17% cumulatively, due to market concerns over rising debt levels at the world's largest tech companies and competitive threats from competitors. SK Hynix surged as much as 28% intraday on Thursday, partly thanks to SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won's rare direct purchase of the company's shares; Another memory chip giant, Samsung Electronics, rose 26%. The Japanese stock market rose simultaneously, with the Nikkei 225 index breaking above 65,000 points, rising more than 5% intraday. Japanese stocks SoftBank Group shares rose 14%. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index climbed for the second consecutive day. It is worth mentioning that amid the sharp rebound in Japanese and Korean stock markets, traders also suspected that Japan and South Korea had jointly intervened in the foreign exchange market. Market sources revealed that South Korea's foreign exchange authorities implemented a rare dollar sell-off intervention on Thursday, pushing the won to a nine-month high. South Korea's move coincided with Japan's intervention on Thursday in the New York market by buying yen and selling the dollar, which pulled the yen back from a forty-year low. The Korean won appreciated 2% against the US dollar on Thursday, reaching 1,418.0 won per dollar, marking its strongest level since October 20 last year. Last month, the Korean won hit a 17-year low of 1561.50, but this month it has risen more than 8%, potentially marking its largest single-month gain since March 2009. A foreign exchange official at South Korea's Ministry of Finance declined to confirm the intervention. A South Korean forex trader said the market suspects joint intervention by South Korea and Japan, as the two countries had previously stated they would coordinate closely. South Korea's Deputy Finance Minister recently stated that it is closely coordinating with major countries such as the United States and Japan in the foreign exchange market. Japan's highest foreign exchange official, Jun Mimura, recently stated that he has received support from the U.S. that he has received support beyond spiritual level, and that the focus of maintaining foreign exchange contact is not limited to the U.S. alone. Thursday's rally on Wall Street gave tech stocks a breathing room. This year's AI-driven rally has become increasingly volatile since the launch of leveraged products in May. "Recently, the AI technology sector, driven by deleveraging, derisking, closing out, and other liquidity factors, has accelerated sell-offs and may be stabilizing," said Shawn Oh, head of Korean spot equities at NH Investment & Securities. Investors find comfort in Choi Tae-won's actions. The chairman of SK Group purchased 3,620 shares of SK Hynix on the open market, marking his first direct personal investment in the chipmaker. This approximately 4.8 billion KRW (approximately $3.2 million) purchase was widely interpreted as a vote of confidence in the company's long-term prospects after a sharp drop in its stock price. In the previous three trading days, SK Hynix's stock price on the Korea Exchange had plummeted by 27%. Additionally, the South Korean government plans to inject 20 trillion won (about $13.9 billion) into its sovereign wealth fund for strategic investments in artificial intelligence, data centers, and infrastructure. This is the fund's first authorized investment in domestic assets, and as the decision was made, the technology sector of the Korean stock market has just experienced a round of intense turmoil. According to a statement released on Friday, the government will set up a dedicated account within the Korea Investment Corporation, with an initial scale of at least 20 trillion won, funded by equity contributions from policy banks and other public institutions. Although the statement did not directly link the government's plan to the current market turmoil, it came at a time after the sharp decline in the Korean stock market this week, and prior to that, the government had introduced a series of recent measures to stabilize the market. The South Korean government stated that South Korea has core competitive advantages in building an AI ecosystem, and global investment interest in South Korea is growing; this decision is driven by the need for "proactive action." The South Korean government pointed out the need for anchored investors to attract global capital from foreign sovereign wealth funds and asset management companies. The new account will be authorized to invest in local assets, breaking away from its traditional overseas asset portfolio. The government added that the new account will support the development of strategic industries, generate returns for future generations, and serve as a buffer for national economic security, foreign exchange, and asset markets. The KOSPI index has plunged 34% in July, and if it fails to close sharply on Friday, it will set a record for the worst monthly performance in history. Investor concerns about large-scale capital expenditures by South Korea's two major chip giants are deepening, market sentiment remains fragile, and investors are watching to see how effective the government can be in curbing leverage and volatility.The Crypto Carnival Has Moved to the Graveyard Retail is fixated on $DOGE's 10% bounce, oblivious to the carnage unfolding beneath. $STRK's 10% implosion serves as a harbinger, but no one's paying attention to the telltale signs of life support. $BNB's +3.42% surge looks suspiciously like a liquidity pump from the same pockets that artificially inflated $ASTER's 2.01% gain.

Currently, after a sharp drop, the price has entered a weak rebound phase, but overall remains within a downward channel. --- 🔒 Support Level (Bullish Defense) · First support range: 0.031 - 0.032. This is the lower boundary of a recently traded area, with buy orders having the upper hand depth (Bid/Ask=1.30), indicating some capital support intentions. · Core support levels: 0.028 - 0.030. If the initial rebound breaks through this range with increased volume, further downside space will be opened. · Ultimate defense: 0.015 - 0.016. This is the historical lowest area, and once touched, it means the trend has completely collapsed. 🚀 Pressure Level (Bear Fortress) · Short-term resistance: 0.035 - 0.036. The upper Bollinger Band is within reach, with the 1-hour RSI at 73.84 and the 4-hour RSI at 77.13, both entering overbought territory. · Core resistance zone: 0.042 - 0.043. At the historical high area, a large number of trapped units have accumulated, making a direct breakout almost impossible in the short term. · Mid-term ceiling: 0.050. If the psychological barrier between previous and rear high is broken, strong fundamental catalysts are needed. --- 🐋 On-chain market players and whale movements · Tokens are highly concentrated: $CAP total supply is 10 billion tokens, with initial circulation accounting for only 15.6%. The top 100 addresses together hold as much as 99.40% of the position—this is extreme token concentration, with a handful of addresses holding absolute pricing power. · Clear signs of whale escape: on July 11, CAP surged after Coinbase went live, but was immediately hit by an 11.4% single-day sell-off. This "sell off immediately after launch" model typically reflects early investors/market makers' profit-taking. · Institutional-level Sell-Off Record: CAP Finance previously sold 1 million ARB on-chain in one go, exchanging 579,000 USDC and 311.3 ETH. The institution still holds 1.95 million ARB (about $2.3 million) — this scale of operation indicates that professional-grade funds are systematically reducing their holdings. · Market maker control signals: 0.6% of initial circulation is allocated to market makers. Recently, prices have been repeatedly fluctuating around 0.034, with buy queues clearly thicker than sell orders. It is possible that market makers are holding prices to support distribution. 📈 Positive factors · Franklin Templeton endorsement: Cap is a stablecoin protocol backed by Franklin Templeton, backed by traditional financial giants with scarce credit endorsements. · Real business support: The protocol has a total locked value of about $230 million and has provided Susquehanna Crypto with a $100 million revolving credit line—this is not Aircoin, but has real business and cash flow. · Founder takes responsibility: Regarding the controversy over Stabledrop airdrop shrinking from 11 million to 4.2 million, founder Benjamin publicly apologized and switched to a "fully capital-guaranteed" plan. In the short term, trust was damaged, but in the long run, it prevented a more severe community collapse. · Listed on leading exchanges: Listed on mainstream exchanges such as Bybit, KuCoin, Coinbase, LBank, and others, with relatively complete liquidity infrastructure. 📉 Bearish factors · 84.4% of tokens remain unlocked: initial circulation is only 15.6%. Private investors, teams, and Echo community sales only unlock 12 months after TGE; 25% is unlocked on the first anniversary of TGE, then vested linearly monthly over 3 years—a massive unlocked token is a long-term sword hanging overhead. · The trust crisis has yet to subside: The Stabledrop shrinkage from 11 million to 4.2 million has severely damaged community trust. The team made premature commitments before funding was disbursed, exposing governance and transparency issues. · Technically bearish overall: The daily chart shows consecutive lower highs and lower lows. Both the 1-hour and 4-hour RSI have entered the overbought zone, and the rebound could end abruptly at any time. · High Beta + Low Liquidity: Market cap of only about $34 million, small size means any large trade can trigger sharp volatility. In an environment of unstable macro sentiment, CAP declines tend to be much more pronounced than upward gains. --- 💎 Summary $CAP It is currently in a state of tear between "top-tier institutional endorsement + genuine business" and "extreme chip concentration + massive ununlocked assets + trust crisis." The top 100 addresses control over 99% of the supply, indicating that the willingness of market makers is far more important than fundamentals. Although there was a technical rebound after a recent plunge of 57% from the historical high, both the 1H and 4H RSI were overbought, limiting the momentum of the rebound. 0.035-0.036 is the immediate life-or-death line—a breakout could lead to a recovery toward 0.042, while resistance could lead to a second dip to 0.028 or even 0.015. 84% of unlocked tokens and Stabledrop trust trauma are long-term suppressive factors. At this moment, waiting and waiting is wiser than bottom-fishing—wait until volume increases and the price stabilizes above 0.036 before acting. #美联储三票主张加息, PCE becomes a new highlight tonight. #微软逆势下调资本开支, up 8.5% in after-hours trading. #财报观察员: Microsoft Cloud revenue surpasses 100 billion, but Meta's guidance is disappointing—Is the AI story diverging? After Hynix's financial report, it invested $31 million to go long, with the whale's unrealized profit reaching $6.44 million According to Jinse Finance, on July 31, according to Lookonchain monitoring, after Hynix reported its earnings, it invested $31 million to go long on whales, with unrealized gains reaching $6.44 million.

Micron was previously sold off due to concerns over storage demand and Changxin's supply worries after listing, but Microsoft's earnings report proved that AI demand has not slowed, and the market is repricing long-term AI infrastructure demand. (3) Key locations Resistance: 930-950; a breakout will open up space above, looking toward 1000. Support: 880-900. If the pullback confirms this, it is a potential entry point for bulls. 706 is the bottom of this round; if it falls below it again, the bearish structure will once again dominate. (4) My judgment Micron jumped from 706 to 917, rising 30% in three days, following the valuation recovery trend of the entire storage sector. However, the intraday rally and pullback trend indicates that short-term selling pressure is increasing, and profit-taking orders have started to be unloaded. If Micron can hold above 900, this rebound may still have room to continue. If it falls below 880, it means this is just an oversold rebound. 900 is a watershed point; holding it means a trend recovery, failing means the rebound is over. $MU #美光暴跌后: Is it at the bottom or halfway up the mountain? 1. Market focus focuses on cloud vendors and AI capital expenditure: AMZN raises full-year 2026 capital expenditure, AWS continues to accelerate; MSFT's earnings surged sharply after the release; $GOOGL continues to advance the Gemini landing robot track. 2. AAPL and AMZN simultaneously submitted 8-K operating announcements, both exceeding expectations, but pricing diverged significantly: the market gave AWS cloud and AI higher growth rates and valuation premiums, while Apple's stock price came under pressure despite strong earnings reports. ● $AAPL -1.4% 💰 [Positive Earnings] Apple's Q3 revenue hits a new high for the next phase • Nikkei: Sales in China region grow, boosting overall performance • Both revenue and profit exceeded market expectations 📌 Capital: FINRA short trades account for 48%, unchanged from the 19-day average, continue to monitor short-selling funds • Market Divergence: Service business growth falls short of market expectations ● $AMZN +3.9% 💰 [Positive Earnings] Amazon submits 8-K operating results • SEC releases official earnings announcement, post-hours maximum increase over 10% • CEO states: full-year 2026 capital expenditure raised to $🚀 220 billion Industry news: Zoox's autonomous vehicles receive NHTSA approval 📰 Key highlight: AWS revenue grows fastest in 18 quarters ● $GOOGL -0.9% 🚀 [Product Update] Gemini Robotics SK Hynix rose 6.27% today to 1,173, with an intraday low of 900 and a high of 1,174. It rose from 900, nearly $300 in a single day, an increase of over 30%. (1) Data SK Hynix is currently at $1,173.08, up 6.26% in 24 hours, with an intraday low of 900.00 and a high of 1,174.00, and a turnover of 1.573 billion. On the 7th, the decline narrowed to -1.83%, and on the 30th, it still fell -26.29%. SUPERTREND shows support near 1,108, with the price having broken above the WMA 5/10/20 moving averages. 900 is today's low and an important support level for this round of decline. The price jumped directly from 900 to 1,174, with almost no pullback throughout the day—a typical short-squeeze trend. (2) Why is it rising? The storage sector collectively recovered. Microsoft's earnings report drove AI narrative recovery, with SanDisk rising 47% in two days, Micron rebounding from 706 to over 800, and SK Hynix jumping from 900 to 1,174. SK Hynix was previously sold off due to an excessive HBM proportion and revenue below expectations, but Microsoft's financial report proved that AI demand has not slowed—Azure cloud revenue grew 43%, exceeding expectations, and annual cloud revenue exceeded 100 billion for the first time. The market has rediscovered that the demand for AI infrastructure is real, and the supercycle of memory chips is not yet over. (3) Key locations Resistance: 1,200-1,220; if broken and holding, it may continue to test 1,300-1,350. Support: 1,080-1,100; if confirmed on a pullback, it is a potential entry point for bulls. 900 is the bottom of this round; if it falls below it again, the bearish structure will regain dominance. (4) My judgment SK Hynix jumped from 900 to 1,174, and SanDisk jumped from 972 to 1,436, all part of the collective valuation recovery in the storage sector. The 1,200-1,220 resistance zone is crucial. If it can break through with increased volume, this rebound could continue toward 1,300-1,350. If it is pushed back below this level, it may just be a technical correction after an oversold rebound. 900 is the short-term bottom, and 1,200 is the watershed. If it can't get past it, it's an oversold rebound; only after it gets past will the trend recover. $SKHYNIX #海力士业绩创纪录但不及预期, storage stocks experienced sharp fluctuations As expected, the hedge fund SALP founded by 25-year-old AI stock guru Leopold has gone bankrupt, indeed facing a large-scale forced liquidation. Honestly, I had a premonition two months ago that Leopold's skills were not as good as Cathie Wood's, but I didn't expect him to exit so quickly. Because SALP used 4x leverage, a sharp drop in individual stocks quickly triggered a margin call crisis. On July 30, the fund liquidated all its public market US stock positions and sold the entire package to a single buyer, Citadel. Leopold established the eponymous fund after publishing a sensational 165-page AI community article titled "Situational Awareness" in 2024. The fund focused on an extremely bullish "AGI computing power/infrastructure" strategy and received top-tier capital support from founders like Stripe's. By mid-2026, the fund's assets under management soared from an initial approximately $225 million to over $20 billion, with a cumulative net return rate reaching as high as 439%. However, the highly concentrated long positions combined with very high leverage ultimately triggered a chain of liquidations during this AI trading pullback. As a professional trader, please search for the May 18 log by Asia Finance @AsiaFinance. Overall, it seems he doesn't understand hedging, going long and short, and is quite extreme. We wrote at the time: "Leopold, hyped up as a superstar, just released a dismal 13F report. Besides going long on emerging computing power and mining company transformations like CRWV and CLSK, he initiated $7.46 billion in put options against semiconductor giants during Q1 2026. As of May 18, this massive put option portfolio, including NVDA, INTC, AMD, AVGO, ORCL, TSM, etc., is very likely in severe unrealized losses." In other words, he shorted too early and went long too late. Looking back now, Leopold was already in trouble by May.Warning Signs | Behind KAITO's surge, unlocking will directly double supply $KAITO Recently, there have been a lot of people talking about KAITO in the circle. While most AI coins were collectively weakening, it bucked the trend and pulled off a major rally, with monthly gains soaring to 113.72%. Discussions about it are everywhere, and it's easy to be swept away by this lively sentiment. But after calmly reading through on-chain data, unlocking plans, and various market discussions, I felt quite worried. In the past four days, 4.452 million KAITO worth $5.61 million were withdrawn from Binance to six external wallets. Some voices in the market interpret large withdrawals as bullish hoarding by big players. This sounds nice, but after experiencing so many fake rallies and I dare not simply treat it as positive. Large tokens leaving the exchange could return to the market at any time in the future, posing a real hidden risk above the price. What is truly worrying is the pressure on future token supply. Over the next 12 months, KAITO will unlock about 241 million tokens, nearly doubling its supply. More importantly, the project buyback has been suspended; tokens are only held and will not be burned. Imagine if nearly equal amounts of chips are flooding into the market, no matter how fervent the bullish sentiment is, it will be extremely difficult to fully withstand such heavy selling pressure. This round of rally has largely been driven by AI narrative sentiment speculation; once sentiment fades, the pressure from supply will become apparent. Some discussions within the community are also worth listening to. There are now many leveraged bulls accumulating in the market, and everyone has high expectations for staking rewards. However, many have already raised doubts, saying that ordinary participants may not necessarily achieve long-term stable returns under this model. Many whale investors prefer to leverage their positions rather than quietly accumulating spot positions. Whenever I see this, I always feel a tight grip in my heart. Looking at the market situation, prices have fallen below the VWAP moving average, volume differentials continue to shrink, capital inflows have clearly weakened, selling pressure is gradually emerging, and market liquidity is starting to soften. The biggest fear in a market built on emotions is buying pressure that can't keep up. Once the hype fades, pullbacks often come quickly and fiercely. I'm not completely denying KAITO's AI narrative; hot sectors can reignite emotions at any time, and the market never has an absolute side. I've seen too many people get confused by short-term surges, rush in on impulse, and end up being harshly taught a lesson by the market. Faced with these short-term viral altcoins, don't rush to follow the trend just because others are profiting. No matter how good the narrative sounds, you must keep data and reality in mind, and leverage must be handled with utmost caution. The market never lacks opportunities; surviving in the crypto world is far more important than catching a single surge. #交易之声: Your experience deserves to be heard [Today's Market Observation: Weekly Close Battle! Macro Liquidity Migration, Tech Stock Retreat, and BTC's Independent Pricing] 1. Macro Liquidity and Tech Stocks: Not a "Drain," but a "Massive Capital Migration" The recent sharp shocks in US stocks (especially Nasdaq, semiconductor AI chains) and Korean stocks have caused great panic in the market, but we must see through the liquidity essence behind this: Fed's Clear Signal: The interest rate decision has firmly confirmed the imminent arrival of a "loose monetary" cycle. The underlying market liquidity has not contracted; instead, it is expected to expand. Logic Behind Tech Stock Turmoil: The tech stock sell-off is a "valuation bubble deflation following liquidity expectation fulfillment," not a macroeconomic collapse. Before the rate cut lands, capital chooses to take profits from the extremely crowded, overvalued tech hardware sector. Subsequent Tech Stock Trend: In the short term, tech stocks need time to digest the high-level trapped positions above, entering a wide-range volatile "dead time." But in the medium to long term, as long as the rate cut cycle's floodgates open, tech stocks still have fundamental support, though the capital attack slope will significantly slow down. 2. Gold and BTC: The "Two Reservoirs" of Safe-Haven Funds Where did the large volume of funds withdrawn from tech stocks go? The answer lies in the gold and BTC markets: Gold's Certainty: Gold continuously breaking highs is the purest pricing of "dollar credit depreciation" and the "rate cut cycle," absorbing the most conservative portion of safe-haven funds. BTC's "Hardcore Resilience": The most alarming signal this time is—BTC refuses to follow Nasdaq's plunge. Amid the US stock market turmoil these days, BTC has stood firm like an anchor at the iron bottom of 63,500 - 64,000 USD. This indicates BTC is shedding its previous "tech stock high-leverage derivative" label, beginning to absorb macro liquidity overflowing from US stocks, demonstrating the "digital gold" independent safe-haven and reservoir attributes. 3. Market Structure and Weekly Close: The Ultimate Judgment of the 63,500 USD Iron Bottom Today is Friday; how the weekly candle closes will directly determine the main force's trading tone next week. The current market structure is exceptionally clear: "Backtest" is extremely healthy: Falling from 66,000 to around 64,000 USD accompanied by volume contraction and deleveraging. This is a benign technical backtest after breaking out of the 57k-59k W bottom, with a very solid spot base inside the market. Weekly Lifeline (63,500 USD): As long as today's daily and tomorrow morning's weekly close candles firmly hold above 63,500 USD, all efforts by bears are declared bankrupt, and the mid-term bullish structure will perfectly continue. Bullish Counterattack Horn (65,000 USD): The 65,000 USD level (daily 50-day EMA) above remains the pivot for bull-bear conversion. A volume breakout above 65,000 is a clear signal for the right-side main upward wave to restart. 4. Today's Tactics and Operation Principles The trend is set; Friday's tactical core is "defensive counterattack," firmly adhering to the iron rule of not being left behind: Spot Base Position (Absolute Core): The blood-stained chips we acquired in the 58,000 - 59,000 USD range are now the safest assets in the entire market. Continue to hold spot with the absolute belief of "No Sell," regardless of macro turbulence, lock in place, waiting for liquidity to fully flood the crypto market. Contract Tactics (Left-side dip buy, right-side add-on): Relying on the iron bottom dip buy: If extreme volume contraction dips occur intraday due to weekend effects, 63,500 - 64,000 USD remains our golden pit for tactical low-leverage long entries, with stop loss at 62,800 USD as the ultimate defense. Right-side chase conditions: Avoid chasing highs lightly on Friday. But if the market shows abnormal movement with volume-driven strong breakout and stabilizes above 65,000 USD, it can directly switch to right-side trend following, betting on the early start of next week's market. $BTC $ETH $SNDK After pocketing that 136U last night My hands feel light today Went through my watchlist One short position is running, one altcoin is bouncing My mindset is completely different from yesterday Not rushing to find the next prey But watching slowly, no hurry $SNDK Closed the long position yesterday Today reversed and placed a short at 1433 50x leverage, took 2 contracts Margin 57.3U Current price 1379, floating profit 108U Liquidation at 1568, still some buffer left On the 1-hour chart, a V-shaped reversal from the 972 bottom Volume increased and pulled up for a while Now around 1400, showing some signs of stagnation This trade is just a scout Take profit pushed to 1410 to lock in profits If it breaks 1450, let it close itself If it hits resistance and falls back, consider the 108U as free profit $MMT Is the craziest one in today's watchlist From 0.167 to 0.2749 Up 16% in a single day The candlestick is almost vertical upwards But this kind of rapid explosive pull Has only 8.2 million 24-hour volume The main force can easily dump and create a pin bar Never chase at 0.255 If I really want to touch it Place a limit order between 0.22 and 0.23 Wait for a pullback and stabilization before deciding If it doesn't drop, just ignore it Missing out is like it never happened $BTC is grinding at 64861 1-hour MACD is dulling, volume shrinking The market is stagnant Small caps' independent moves can turn anytime Last night's profits are already locked in Today's short position is running, orders are waiting The biggest mistake after continuous profits Is thinking you are right about everything Rushing to open another position That 128U loss yesterday taught me one thing After making money, the hand that wants to open another order Must be controlled by yourself No chasing highs today, no new positions Set stop loss and let it run Today's goal is already achieved #Fed3Dissents #MSFTCutsCapex #AIStoryDiverges 在L2高速崛起的两年间，两个核心疑问始终萦绕以太坊社区：L2是否在持续侵蚀L1的核心价值？以太坊的全局可组合性是否正在逐步消解？过往以太坊的分层逻辑清晰固化：L1主打安全稳定，承担底层结算职能，但手续费高昂、吞吐量有限；L2作为高效扩容执行层，以低成本、高吞吐补足主网短板。这套分工大幅拓展了以太坊的区块空间，却也割裂了网络生态，让以太坊从“完整统一的公链”，变成碎片化的多层架构。基于此，以太坊社区近两年持续复盘L1与L2的底层关系，一轮全新的架构重构正在悄然推进。一方面，L1主动突破原有定位，持续上调Gas上限、推进无状态升级与zkEVM验证落地，彻底摒弃“仅做底层结算底座”的保守定位，全力提升自身执行与吞吐能力。另一方面，社区顶层认知持续迭代：Vitalik年初明确表态，随着L1原生扩容能力升级，五年前敲定的“以L2为核心扩容方案”的路线图，底层前提已然改变。以太坊研究者Barnabé Monnot更是进一步提出，行业需要重新定义L1与L2的长期价值分工，聚焦三大核心命题：L2的长期价值落点、交易最终确定性的极致压缩、以及证明系统落地后，L1或将演化成自身的Rollup。虽暂无最终协议定论，但这些观点为以太坊架构终局，提供了全新的核心研判视角。归根结底，当下以太坊的核心困境，早已不是单纯的“扩容增量”，而是在交易、资产、用户状态全面分散至多类执行环境后，如何重新界定L1、L2、执行层、结算层的权责边界，搭建统一、协同、无割裂的网络体系。When I discovered the Bittensor $TAO in December 2023, it was priced around $350. At that time, the best computing subnet was SN27, but it has now been decommissioned and replaced by a better subnet. Mining SN27 is very simple: just add a GPU you rented from somewhere, and validators will blindly verify whether it's really an H200 server. Miners can cheat by adding false statistics, such as disguising themselves as another higher-value GPU with unlimited VRAM and memory statistics. Another subnet is SN28, which has also been decommissioned and decommissioned, with the goal of predicting S&P 500 prices. We only need to rent a cheap CPU instance, register multiple hotkeys running on the same server, and send random price numbers. At the peak of mining activity at the time, I made up to $5,000 in net profit every day. Every day is like this. Mining is easy, but full of loopholes, and subnet output is useless. Now, by 2026, I won't be able to mine alone on the compute subnet. I can't cheat. There are no vulnerabilities in mature subnets. The profit margin is very small. Products are generating revenue from users who love them. Guess what? The $TAO costs $185. The key point is, the signal you're looking for is not the $TAO price or the subnet alpha price...... Instead, we need to examine how competitive mining has become, how narrow the profit margins, how useful the product is, and whether ordinary people can use it. If subnets bring useful work, it means the protocol operates as intended: a useful proof of work blockchain. I think Bittensor is much better than before. Forget all those jokes I keep posting, because you're too crazy. When I'm optimistic and you think prices will crash, just think about that...... It just got better.Tonight's aggressive rally in US stocks led many people to think Micron was the main driver, but in fact, it was Microsoft's cloud business that was rising, with NBIS still leading the gains. There is an important logic behind these two points: first, Microsoft maintains good cash flow while investing in data centers; second, the monetization capability of its AI cloud business is entering a positive trajectory. Tonight, Amazon is also worth paying close attention tonight. Right now, investors are watching whether major AI companies maintain positive cash flow in AI investments—this is the top priority. #微软逆势下调资本开支, up 8.5% in after-hours #财报观察员: Microsoft Cloud revenue surpasses 100 billion, but Meta's guidance is weak—Is the AI story diverging? #财报观察员: Microsoft's cloud revenue surpasses 100 billion, but Meta's guidance is disappointing—Is the AI story diverging? Is AI Story Entering the Acceptance Stage? Microsoft's cloud revenue surpassed 100 billion, while Meta is facing guidance pressure. I think this comparison is more interesting than just looking at stock price. Previously, the market speculated on AI: "Whoever lays out AI is the future." But now the money is starting to cool down: Is AI really the trend, or is it a business that can truly generate profit? Microsoft proved one thing: If AI can be combined with cloud and enterprise services, it can indeed generate business value. Meta's issues also remind the market: Huge investment doesn't mean immediate profit; this AI competition is not just about technology, but also about cash flow and commercial implementation capabilities. My view: AI will not end; it will only move on to the next stage. In the first few years, it's about imagination; in the coming years, it's about execution. Actually, the crypto world is the same. Every bull market has new stories, but what remains in the end are often not the loudest shouts, but projects that truly have users, revenue, and value. I believe the future opportunities remain, but the market will become increasingly selective. Friends with time, the future is promising. @OKX planet The above represents only personal views and does not constitute investment advice.$ZEC 1. Overview of Ironwood Upgrades Zcash successfully activated the Ironwood (NU6.3) network upgrade on July 28 at block height 3,428,143. Core Content: · Permanently shut down the old Orchard privacy pool, no longer accepting new funds · About 3.6 million ZEC (worth approximately $1.8 billion) need to be migrated to the new Ironwood pool · Introduced the "Turnstile" mechanism: funds leaving the old pool cannot exceed the total verified deposits, and counterfeit tokens will be permanently trapped in the old pool · The total ZEC supply can be independently verified locally, currently at 16,848,458 tokens. Zcash co-founder Zooko Wilcox has confirmed that anyone can verify ZEC supply locally via computer, and there is no secret issuance. 2. Current Market Price: ZEC is currently trading at about $471-472, up 2.5% in 24 hours, with a market capitalization of about $7.9 billion.

The full reason behind the sharp drop followed by a strong rebound in recent days (1) The Root Cause of the Consecutive Sharp Drops in the First Two Days (Sector Collective Sell-Off) Huge profit-taking at high levels realized + Cycle peak expectations ferment (core) At the beginning of the year, the stock surged dozens of times, with capital clustering to the extreme; The market predicts that NAND flash price increases are nearing an end: in Q3, NAND contract prices only rose 10%~15% quarter-on-quarter, sharply shrinking from Q2's 55%+ gain. Performance growth cannot sustain explosive growth, and funds are selling off early to lock in profits. Fear of future overcapacity Samsung and SK Hynix are ramping up 3D NAND production, with institutions widely predicting that by 2027, overall NAND supply will be overflowing, flash memory prices will turn downward, and the storage boom cycle is about to end. Domestic storage substitution is a bearish impact Changxin Technology's IPO fundraising to expand production, and Yangtze Memory's enterprise-grade SSDs continue to capture domestic AI server storage share, squeezing the long-term market space of overseas storage giants and erasing valuation premiums. The US tech sector weakened + options pushed through negative gamma The Nasdaq and semiconductor indices pulled back, with the high-β storage sector falling far more than the broader market; The stock price repeatedly broke below support, market makers were forced to sell, and the further the price fell, the more they sold, accelerating the crash, with the lowest reaching the $998 mark of the whole number.

Domestic storage continues to penetrate and squeeze overseas market share Everyone, last night's market was like riding a rocket! 🚀 Market sentiment shifted overnight from "recession fear" to "rushing to rebound," swallowing all pessimism in one go! Today, let's 👇 📊 review this extreme reversal and see where all the money went. [Today's Highlights] 💰 $SOXL surged 33.9%, with a turnover reaching 410 million! 📉 The VIX Panic Index plunged 17.29% in a single day, dropping to 17.08 📈. The Nasdaq surged 3.30%, and the S&P gained 1.68 🪙%. $BTC 64,805 (+1.34 BTC) 64,805 (+1.34 ETH 1,924 (+0.77%) 🔍 I. The Tide of Panic Recedes—Who's Swimming Naked? VIX evaporated nearly 20% in one day—this is no longer just a simple correction, but a stomp-down reversal of emotions! Triple-leverage semiconductor ETFs like SOXL surged, while chip-mapped tokens like MU and $SKHYNIX surged in massive volume. Hot money is unabashedly charging into the AI hardware narrative! When the fear index drops back to 17, the market is no longer pricing in a recession, but a soft landing + technological revolution. But a 17% drop in one day is itself a warning: optimism comes too quickly, like a 🌪️ ⚔️ tornado. 2. Yen Surprise Attack, Macro Landscape Quietly Shifts The Bank of Japan intervened again in the foreign exchange market, causing the yen to surge in a single day to its largest gain in over two years, disrupting arbitrage trading. However, the US dollar index $DXY only rose slightly by 0.10%, indicating that capital has not flowed into the dollar as a safe haven. Gold GLD (+$BTC ## BTC 7/31 Analysis **Direction: Short-term neutral bias with bearish bias, not chasing rebounds 🧊 ** --- The current price is **around $64,750**, up 2% in 24 hours, but this increase is unhealthy—the entire network exploded in the past 24 hours, with **$1.47 billion**** exploding, 62% of which were forced liquidations on short sellers. To put it simply: it's not that the bulls are strong, but the bears are being squeezed. This is not a rise driven by active buying, but a bearish stamp. The sustainability of this rebound is often questionable. --- The macro aspect is the real main theme. Binance Research's newly released H1 report: BTC fell **32%** in the first half of the year, closing negative for the third consecutive quarter. ETFs saw a record **$4.5 billion net outflow** throughout June, with BlackRock's IBIT accounting for over 75%. Even more impressive, **10.83 million BTC are currently in floating losses**, with only 9.22 million still in profit—this is the first time in this cycle that losses exceed profits. On the Fed's side, the market has priced in an 80% chance of a December rate hike. New chairman Warsh has been focusing on inflation since his debut, not talking about employment. --- The technical aspects are also not impressive. RSI 52.7 is neutral but weak, with MACD still in a bearish alignment. Fear and Greed Index **28**, Fear Zone. Key support is at $64,005 (50-day SMA + Ichimoku Equilibrium Kijun); if broken, watch $62,600. Resistance at $65,000-65,300, and above $66,000, is the tough challenge. There was also a short-term positive factor: the ETF just ended a 10-day streak of outflows, with **$222 million** entering on Thursday. But a single day's data is not enough to indicate a trend reversal. --- **Conclusion: Wait, don't chase. ** This rebound was driven up by short sellers blowing out their positions, not by direct buying with real money. $64,000 is the lifeline; once broken, wait for $62,000-63,000 before entering. If it breaks above $65,000 and volume is confirmed, then consider chasing after that. Binance Research offers a noteworthy judgment: **Q4 2026 may be the bottom window for this round**. But it's only the end of July, so there's still time—spend money sparingly.🌍 Global Macro Express | July 31: The Federal Reserve remains "hawkish," global markets enter a mode of high volatility Last night, the main theme in global financial markets was singular—although the Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged, its stance was more moderate and hawkish than the market expected. The market had expected further rate cuts this year, but the Fed stated inflation still needs to be monitored, and significant policy disagreements emerged internally, causing U.S. Treasury yields to rise rapidly and risk assets under short-term pressure. 📈 Global stock market performance: • 🇺🇸 US tech stocks have shown significant volatility, with differentiation in the AI sector. Microsoft's stronger-than-expected earnings led the Nasdaq to rebound; Meanwhile, some chip and AI concept stocks showed weaker performance, with funds paying more attention to corporate earnings quality rather than just AI stories. • 🇪🇺 European stock markets overall remain resilient, but the market is still awaiting more U.S. economic data to confirm the direction. • 🇯🇵🇰🇷 Asian market sentiment remains cautious; Japan, South Korea, and some Asian tech stocks have been affected by adjustments in the semiconductor sector, leading to a decline in risk appetite. 💰 What does this mean for the crypto market? Currently, Crypto is still in a macro-driven phase. When Treasury yields continue to rise and the dollar remains strong, market liquidity tends to tighten, causing risk assets like BTC and ETH to experience short-term volatility. However, if U.S. inflation continues to cool and policy expectations in September turn to easing again, risk assets may still regain capital favor. 📌 Today's market focus includes: Whether U.S. economic data will continue to support cooling down; Will U.S. Treasury yields continue to surge? Whether U.S. tech earnings reports can continue to boost market risk appetite; Can BTC and ETH hold key support under macro pressure? In short: The Fed has not raised rates, but more importantly than "not raising rates," it has not given the market the accommodative signals it wants. In the short term, global market volatility will remain high. Controlling positions and patiently waiting for trend confirmation is more important than blindly chasing gains.

On the market factual level, BEAT quickly rebounded from 2.45 to around 3.9, with short-term gains entering the previously concentrated trading zone. After multiple attempts at 3.9 at the 15-minute level, it failed to break through effectively, indicating genuine selling pressure at this level, and the upside space is not without resistance. Driver Order: Unlocking events are currently the largest supply and demand variable; 21.25 million new circulating tokens mean considerable potential selling pressure; Secondly, on the sentiment side, the rally on the eve of unlocking already affects the bears' stop-loss positions and entry rhythm, so the position structure is already being passively adjusted. Upward scenario: If the unlocked chips have been already digested in advance or holders choose not to sell, once the current short stop loss concentration near 3.9 is swept, the price may surge rapidly. The trigger condition is that within 24 hours after unlocking, the large on-chain transfer volume falls below expectations, and the 3.9 level effectively breaks through and holds steady. Observe the variable is the on-chain flow of the unlock address. A failure signal refers to a large-scale transfer to the exchange that occurs after unlocking. Downside scenario: If unlocked chips are concentrated and cashed out, combined with profit-taking near 3.9, the price may quickly fall back to the 3.4-3.5 support zone. In extreme sentiment, testing around 3.0 is not ruled out. The trigger conditions are large accumulation on the chain after unlocking, and a noticeable increase in spot selling volume. The variables to watch are the depth changes on the day of unlocking and the direction of funding rates. A breakdown signal is that after unlocking, the price surges rapidly and breaks through 4.0. Determining the failure condition: If an abnormally large buy order occurs on the day of unlock, directly absorbing selling pressure, or if overall market risk appetite suddenly rises and high-volatility assets rise in tandem, the current bearish logic needs to be repriced. The most important variable to watch in the next 24 hours: unlocking the direction of transfers on the address chain, whether 3.9 can effectively break through, and the volume and price coordination of the first 4-hour candlestick after unlocking. #比特币与纳指相关性大幅下降: Independence or Illusion #美联储三票主张加息, tonight's PCE is a new highlight Microsoft's stock price staged a powerful and powerful counterattack. The closing gain that day was fixed at 15.5%. Although it was only the fourth largest single-day gain in the company's history, considering its massive scale, the actual impact of this rally was unprecedented, with market value surging by $450 billion, directly rewriting the single-day market cap growth record for US stocks. The previous record holder was Nvidia, which achieved a single-day increase of $440 billion on April 9, 2025. This surge occurred at a rather delicate moment. Just the day before, Microsoft's stock price was mired in a quagmire, with a cumulative decline of about 19.3% this year. Investor enthusiasm for the AI sector has noticeably cooled, and the market is filled with a sense of disappointment. Overnight, Microsoft narrowed its losses to 5.8%, nearly filling the gap that had lasted half a year. The core driving force behind the market sentiment reversal comes from Microsoft's just-released earnings report. Although the specific data was not revealed in this newsletter, the market response clearly exceeded expectations, especially in the progress of AI commercialization, dispelling several previously feared issues. $MSFT In recent months, AI concept stocks have generally performed weakly, and the market has begun to question whether such massive capital expenditures can yield corresponding returns. Microsoft's recent financial report serves as a reassuring pill, reassuring investors that the AI story is no longer just in the computing power arms race, but is now transforming into tangible revenue and profits. However, a single-day 15.5% increase seems hard to explain purely by performance Elon's $SPCX has secured a $1.6 billion Space Force contract, which is positive for SPCX but leans more toward the medium to long term; it may not directly trigger sustained surges in the short term. SpaceX will be responsible for 18 Falcon 9 launch missions through 2027, reaffirming the stability of government orders. My views are threefold: First, this is a fundamental positive. Government contracts not only increase revenue but also indicate SpaceX's enhanced position within the U.S. national security space framework, where client stickiness is typically very high. Second, the short-term stock price may not solely reflect the contract. The market is currently focused on post-IPO valuation, upcoming lock-up expirations, and the first earnings report. If these factors cause selling pressure, the contract's positive impact might be partially offset. Third, I am more optimistic about the medium to long term. With ongoing government contracts, Starlink, and Starship progress, SpaceX's revenue streams are becoming increasingly diversified. If performance meets expectations in the coming quarters, this contract will be a key factor supporting valuation. My strategy: Short term: Don't chase the price just because of one positive news; watch for volume breakout above key resistance levels. Medium to long term: If you believe in the commercial space sector, these large government contracts will continuously strengthen SpaceX's competitive edge, making each pullback more worth watching. SpaceX is evolving from a space company into a part of the U.S. space infrastructure. This has greater significance for long-term valuation than the contract amount itself. #SpaceX获$1.6B美军合同，股价暴跌引两派争议 Overnight, the narrative completely reversed, with financial reports proving AI can be profitable. The four major cloud providers' cloud services all grew faster than expected, and even Amazon, which raised its capital expenditures, surged 10 points in after-hours trading. Apple's $XAAPL also expects storage costs to continue rising after the September quarter. The Leopold fund, the largest leveraged buyer in storage, was also liquidated. On the macro side, combined with the negative monthly PCE rate in June and the slowdown in GDP growth, the pressure to raise interest rates has eased. So is this a rebound or a reversal? Let's keep watching. #微软逆势下调资本开支, up 8.5% in after-hours #财报观察员: Microsoft Cloud revenue surpasses 100 billion, but Meta's guidance is weak—Is the AI story diverging?
