The CLARITY Act is at a critical juncture this week.
The Senate is set to adjourn on August 7, and bipartisan negotiators are rushing to catch the last train. A new ethical compromise was just delivered to the White House on July 31, adding the law enforcement role of the state attorney general. Treasury Secretary Bessent directly fired on X, demanding the Senate "vote immediately."
But reality is harsh. On Polymarket, the probability of the bill passing this year has dropped to 26%, while Kalshi has given it 37%. In February, it was still 82%, dropping all the way to today. JPMorgan warned that the drop in passing probability is a direct headwind for the entire crypto market. The longer the delay, the more likely tokenization and blockchain applications are to be absorbed by traditional financial infrastructure.
The bill requires 60 votes to pass. The Republicans have 53 seats, with Hawley and Paul clearly opposing them, and the actual available votes are less than 51. At least 7 to 9 Democrats need to be involved, but last week 7 Democratic senators publicly opposed it. Turning seven opponents into supporters in just one week is harder than making the big market reach 70,000 in a single day.
And then there's the bank issue. Section 404 of the stablecoin yield clause remains unresolved to this day. Banks should completely ban stablecoin interest payments, and the crypto industry should allow users to earn interest directly. Every round of concessions is a way to strip away a layer of future on-chain profits.
The window is closing. Missing August, after the September session resumes, there will only be three weeks of sessions, followed by midterm elections. This year, I estimate the chance of passing is about 25%. $BTC The big cake is 63,000, you wouldn't dare buy it.
When it returns to 100,000, will you chase it?
Let the data speak.
The proportion of short-term holders has dropped to 23.5%, the lowest point in many years.
The proportion of long-term holders has risen to 52.5%, compared to 52% a month ago and 42% three months ago. Dormant supply over five years has reached a new high. The old man refused to sell. Chips are concentrated on strong players.
But demand hasn't returned yet. The MVRV long-term investor indicator has dropped to -26%, a level historically seen as a market bottom area. But analysts also say that tightening supply itself does not guarantee a bullish reversal.
The 62,000 to 63,000 range concentrates about 8% of the circulating supply. This distribution of holdings is somewhat similar to the pattern before the FTX incident in 2022. If 62,400 cannot hold, the next stop is 60,000-61,000. If it holds, the first resistance above is 63,700-64,500.
The logic for bulls and bears is clear. Bulls say widespread shutdowns by miners are a bottom signal, long-term holders are accumulating, and July still closed up 7.5%. Bearish views say the 200-day moving average is holding down at 71,700, with a 67% chance of a rate hike in September and a weak seasonal outlook in August.
At 63,000, that's half the price of 126,000. Some believe it's the bottom, while others think there's even lower. Both sides have their reasons, both sides are waiting. Before the direction is released, don't overhold your position. If it breaks below 62,400, look for 60,000-61,000. After the August CPI data is released, it's time to choose your direction. $BTC $BTC current market is in a "weak rebound + strong selling pressure" tug-of-war: BTC faces significant resistance above $63,000, with sellers strongly controlling the closing session; $ETH is repeatedly tugging near $1,850; market sentiment is fearful, funding rates are low, and institutions have no large-scale bottom-fishing actions. August, historically the month with a median negative return for Bitcoin (median -7.87% over the past 15 years), combined with seasonal pressure and macro uncertainty, calls for caution of further downside risk in the short term. #30年期美债收益率创19年新高
Bitcoin experienced a "thrilling roller coaster" intraday — once surging to $63,266, showing strong buying pressure, but then quickly reversing, with price sharply dropping in the last hour from about $63,065 straight down to $62,837.
Ethereum continues its weakness. After previously surging to $1,982 forming a phase top, it consecutively broke multiple moving average supports, dipping as low as $1,820. Currently, ETH is quoted between $1,834-$1,868, down about 2.1% in 24 hours.
Key support lies in the $1,830-$1,850 range; if broken, further decline is possible. ETH shorts at $1,835 have all been closed. Additionally, Ethereum marks its 11th anniversary on August 1; although down over 60% from its historical peak, it still consolidates its position as core infrastructure for stablecoins and RWA.
SOL $SOL is weak, hitting a high of $73.44 in the morning but failing to hold, pushed down sharply by sellers to a low of $72.42 at the close, currently at $72.66, down 0.86% intraday. The final bearish candle is steep, usually indicating stop-loss triggers and buyer exit.
Altcoins are volatile: BANK down 22.01% in 24 hours, OGN down 13.2%, DEXE down 11.21%, PORTO down 11.64%; HYPER rises against the trend by 7.38%.In the past couple of days, X has topped the discussion board with the phrase "30-year US Treasury yield hits a 19-year high," and many interpretations have followed suit, treating it as the sole reason for the continued weakness of risk assets. Let's break down the hype from the facts:
According to the closing data released by the U.S. Treasury on July 31, the 30-year Treasury yield was 5.27%, and the 10-year yield was 4.75%; On July 1, the two were 4.97% and 4.48% respectively, showing a clear monthly increase in the long end. AP's record of the July 30 market also shows the 30-year yield rising from 5.20% to 5.22%, indicating that long-term yields reflect market expectations for future inflation and economic growth.
For ordinary people, the more useful judgment is not that "when interest rates rise, the coin will definitely weaken," but rather: rising long-term benchmark yields increase the opportunity cost of holding highly volatile assets, and risk appetite is more easily interrupted by repeated macro data; But it cannot explain every phase of BTC and ETH volatility in isolation. Next, three things need to be clarified: whether yields will continue to rise or then retreat, whether the US dollar and stock indices are under simultaneous pressure, and whether the crypto market is driven by independent funds and events.
So this hot topic is worth watching, but not worth using as a substitute for complete evidence. It is a macro context, not a trading instruction; Data has closing points; intraday fluctuations, subsequent corrections, and cross-asset correlations should all be viewed separately.$BTC stuck at 63,000, the scale of forced liquidations across the entire network in the past 24 hours is actually not large—neither the bulls nor the bears experienced any chain of liquidations. What does this indicate? This wave now feels more like mild deleveraging, not a trend-driven outpouring of liquidation. The real bottom often comes with a massive wave of long liquidation, wiping out all the leverage at once—and we haven't seen it yet. So don't rush to buy the 'big drop bottoming out'—the data shows this place looks more like grinding than a crash. Data won't play along with you. Do you think this round of reckoning has been enough?今天的山寨币名单像一锅沸水：BCH剧烈拉扯、FARTCOIN资金狂欢、KOMA闪崩四成……但真正值得细品的，是那个没有霸榜的“隐形主角”——SOL。此刻它正蛰伏在70.5美元附近，4小时和1小时波动率同时收缩，价格像一根被压到极限的弹簧。问题不是“会不会动”，而是“往哪边崩”。
**大周期：下跌结构已成立，但大资金在“撤退”**
翻看4小时图，最近摆动点序列是HH→LL→LH→LL→LH→LL，高点持续走低，低点不断被破，一个标准的下降推进结构。最新结构事件是70.51美元的BOS，方向向下，意味着中期上升结构已被彻底破坏。市场目前处于“下跌趋势中的整理阶段”，这个位置附近密集沉淀了7个有效区域，大量筹码在70.5-71.5之间交换过手。
真正需要玩味的是衍生品数据：当前OI象限为price_down_oi_down——价格在跌，但持仓量在缩。这说明这波下跌不是空头大举加仓进攻，而是多头砍仓、空头获利了结。大资金没有在低位追加空单，反而在悄悄收手。这种“下跌的纯度”不够，一旦空头出清完毕，反弹随时可能以暴烈的方式展开。
**小周期：Delta为正的“假摔”现场**
切换到1小时图，微观结构给出了一组耐人寻味的矛盾信号。最新结构事件同样是看跌的CHoCH，价格指向70.51美元，然而1小时Delta却是+18585——最近一个时段主动买入量竟然大于主动卖出量。CVD虽随价格走低，但背离标记为False，说明资金流与价格之间还没有出现严重的不信任。资金费率-0.0000，位于历史分位0.05，几乎冰点，市场情绪既不恐慌也不狂热。强平线索为空，没有发生踩踏式清算。
这些信号拼在一起，像极了一场“假崩”：价格破了结构，但动能不配合。空头没有乘胜追击，多头也没有彻底缴械。多空两个拳手正互相搀扶着靠在绳圈上，谁先动手，谁就可能被反制。
**交易计划：不追空，只等反弹做空或破位确认**
基于以上得出明确倾向：中期方向偏空，但短期绝不追空。更合理的做法是等待两类入场信号。
**情景一（主方案）**：若价格反弹至71.2-71.5区域，且1小时K线出现滞涨信号（长上影、看跌吞没），可轻仓做空。入场价71.3附近，止损72.2，第一止盈69.8，第二止盈68.5。仓位控制在总资金的3%-5%。逻辑很简单：4小时BOS之后，反弹至结构破位点的下沿，是本轮空头最舒服的“上车位”。
**情景二（顺势破位）**：若价格直接放量跌破69.8，且OI同步上升（price_down_oi_up），说明空头重新夺回主动权，可顺势追空，入场69.5，止损70.8，目标68.0、66.5。但如果跌破时OI继续下降，则放弃追空——那很可能是诱空陷阱。
**情景三（意外反转）**：若价格强行站上72.5并完成4小时级别收线，则说明BOS是假突破，空头必须离场。届时可等回踩71.8-72.0做多，止损71.0，目标74.0、75.5。这个概率偏低，需要新闻面强力点燃情绪。
仓位管理坚持“轻仓+分批止盈+移动止损”。当前波动率极度收缩，任何方向的突破都可能引发短路式行情，满仓无异于自杀。
**新闻面：ETF预期与抛压阴影交织**
过去一周，SOL的故事可不止K线。市场对Solana现货ETF的预期再次反复——某资管机构被曝修改了申请文件，加入“实物申购”条款，价格应声冲高后回落；同时Solana基金会发布生态周报，活跃地址创历史新高，但链上手续费收入连续三周下滑。这种“人气与收入背离”的状态，恰似当前Delta为正、价格却下跌的诡异局面——所有人都想买，但没人愿意重仓。
另一边，FTX清算地址的连续转账传闻始终压制着市场情绪。虽然大单数据暂时没有明显异动，但“死亡解锁”的达摩克利斯之剑仍悬在头顶。这也是为什么即使小周期出现买盘，价格却始终抬不起头的根本原因。
**结尾**
SOL正站在十字路口：是“利空出尽”后的黎明，还是“多杀多”前最后的黄昏？我认为答案就在70.5美元。守住，反弹可期；跌破，空头加速。

The cryptocurrency market has never lacked stories. In the early morning session, TRX gracefully danced amid the capital flood with a slight 0.7% gain, WLD and PENGU breathed rapidly within a narrow range, HEI surged 8% like a dark horse, and BANK's large 11% bearish candlestick smashed like a stone into a pond, stirring ripples of panic. Behind all this commotion, Ethereum is quietly hovering around $1820—4-hour volatility shrinking, 1-hour volatility shrinking, as if the entire market is holding its breath, waiting for a signal.
Extending the timeline to the 4-hour chart, after the price broke out of the upward staircase of HH, HL, HH, HL, and then repeatedly appeared LH and LL—the bullish ladder had turned into a downward slope. The latest structural event at CHoCH occurred at 1820.61, with a clear direction: bearish. This means the baton of trend has been handed over, and the eight effective zones act like defensive ramparts, now competing for the most critical frontline. Even more interesting is the OI quadrant: price_down_oi_down. While prices fall, open interest decreases simultaneously. This is not a fierce short position increase, but a retreat from long positions closing out. The fuel for the decline may be running out, and large funds are reluctant to continue increasing their short positions at this level.
The microscopic world is equally full of tension. On the 1-hour chart, LL, LH, HL, LH, LL, LH repeatedly struggled between 1800 and 1830, with BOS confirming a downward move at 1820.61. The Delta is -252.82, indicating that active selling still holds the advantage. But CVD data provides a subtle note: during the recent low swing, the price fell by $41.39, and CVD dropped by 148,214.79 in tandem. The divergence signal is False—there is no classic bottom signal where the price hits a new low and volume diverges; At the same time, this low has been confirmed as a valid swing, indicating that the short-term stabilization is real. There was no divergence at the high, further indicating that the current decline is "real" rather than just a bluff. The funding rate returned to 0.0000, at the 0.38 rank, meaning neither the bulls nor the bears paid any substantial cost; the liquidation lead was short, and the large order was absent. The market is like a pool of still, rippleless water, but beneath the surface, undercurrents are surging.
Considering these signals, my judgment is: ETH is bearish in the short term, but the downward momentum has waned, making short-selling less cost-effective. Trading plan as follows: Conservatives wait for a rebound to short within the 1840-1850 range, stop loss above 1865, first take profit at 1800, second take profit at 1770, position not exceeding 2% of total capital. If the price drops below 1800 with increased volume, you can take a light position to chase shorts, targeting 1770, but beware of rapid recalls after a false breakout. If a positive Delta or CVD divergence reappears on the 1-hour chart, short positions should exit decisively and focus on the right long opportunity. If the price has been consolidating between 1820-1840 for more than 12 hours and the OI continues to decline, it is recommended to hold a short position and wait—at this time, holding the position is the best move.
On the news front, Ethereum spot ETFs saw a single-day net inflow of $120 million this week, but the price failed to hold above $1,850, disappointing many bulls. The Ethereum Foundation announced funding for account abstraction research, which benefits the ecosystem in the long term but has limited short-term impact. On the macro level, Fed officials' latest statements have been hawkish, putting pressure on risk assets and making it difficult for the crypto market to remain unaffected.
So, standing at $1820, do you choose to wait for a rebound to short, or prepare to catch a counter-trend move? Feel free to leave your thoughts in the comments section. If you enjoy this warm market analysis, please like and share so more friends can see it.

Happy with the transaction. ——Crowding and Crowding List
First, find the side with the heaviest payout, then check the price and whether your position is giving it a return.
$SNDK Current rate +0.0357%, closed in the past 24 hours +0.033%, at the 69th percentile of the most recent sample. The decline is accompanied by a drop in OI, mainly characterized by the exit of old positions rather than new positions continuing to suppress prices. OI contraction indicates that risk exposure is being withdrawn; the fee rate only indicates which side has higher costs and cannot replace the detailed exit directions.
$CAP Current rate +0.0243%, closed in the past 24 hours +0.053%, at the 100th percentile of the most recent sample. The 15-minute price and open interest increase together, and market momentum is being transmitted to position expansion. Bullish costs are relatively high but prices still match, and the structure is not yet broken. Stagflation will be the first warning sign.
$SOL Current rate -0.0103%, +0.004% in the past 24 hours, at the 1% percentile of the most recent sample. With prices rising and OI falling, the current trend is to reduce positions, so it's not appropriate to write it as a new long entry. The new rate overlaps with the past 24 hours, and this side switching can easily cause volatility. Let's first see if the price position will take over.What is most easily overlooked on Friday is not Amazon's big surge, but that $QQQ intraday surged to 695.65, yet finally closed only at 687.99. A single heavyweight dragged the index up, but the long-term yields did not cooperate: the 10-year US Treasury yield rose to 4.745%, while the price remained below the 20-day moving average of 701.02.
This money followed earnings reports, not valuation recovery.
Before Monday's market open, first look at Friday's high and low range. Regain the intraday high before discussing testing the moving average; if it falls below Friday's low, any rebound will be exposed. VIX remains in the normal range, not a panic market, but low volatility does not mean interest rate pressure has disappeared. Watch first, don't chase the first move. Data as of US market close on July 31, not investment advice.

You think you bought a cheap project, but actually you bought chips with high FDV and low circulation—you are not an investor at all, you are the liquidity for VC exit.
The chart looks “low,” but behind it is the monthly scheduled unlocking pressure. Unlocking means selling, this is the structural reality 😤
This script has been repeatedly played out:
L2 and infrastructure projects: $ARB $OP $STRK $ZK $BLAST $MANTA $ALT $DYM $TIA
L1 and oracles: $SUI $APT $SEI $PYTH $JUP $W $EIGEN $REZ $ETHFI
All get smashed to pieces when large-scale unlocking arrives. The Damocles sword is real ⚔️
Funds will only flow to places with clean supply.
DeFi and RWA leaders are the winners: $ONDO $MKR $AAVE $UNI $PENDLE $ENA $SNX $CRV $COMP $LDO $RPL
They have real revenue, predictable unlocking, no surprises.
Projects with real demand in AI and DePIN are also strong: $TAO $FET $NEAR $RNDR $AKT $AIOZ $GRT $THETA $FIL $AR
What about the gaming sector? Basically crushed repeatedly by ecosystem unlocking: $GALA $BEAM $IMX $AXS $SAND $MANA $PIXEL $PORTAL $PRIME $ILV
The coin price always pays for unlocking; no matter how good the trend looks, it can’t hold.
What’s the most ironic?
The burned retail investors eventually all hide in Meme: $PEPE $WIF $BONK $FLOKI $POPCAT $BOME $DOGE $SHIB $MOG $BRETT
No VC lock-up period, no unlocking schedule, only fair issuance.

This is terrifying, these US debt!
The 30-year Treasury yield has surged to 5.27%, just one step away from 5.3%.
Many people are watching the June PCE cooling, thinking the Fed is getting closer to a rate cut. But the bond market gives a completely different answer—funds are repricing the future interest rate path.
What truly worries the market is not the data already released, but oil prices.
In July, international crude oil rebounded sharply, with geopolitical risks continuing to ferment. If energy prices continue to rise, inflation is likely to rise again, and the optimistic expectations previously seen in PCE cooling may be quickly shattered.
This is also why long-term U.S. Treasury yields have not fallen but have instead climbed steadily.
The market is beginning to worry that the Federal Reserve may need to keep high interest rates for longer, or even re-release more hawkish policy signals.
If the 30-year Treasury yield holds above 5.3%, the pressure on overvalued assets could increase further.
After all, as risk-free yields rise, capital naturally reconsiders whether it is still willing to pay dozens or even hundreds of times valuation for high-valuation growth stocks like AI.
BTC will not be completely uninvolved either.
In the short term, it may attract some safe-haven funds thanks to its "digital gold" attributes, but if liquidity continues to tighten and risk assets face deleveraging, Bitcoin will find it hard to remain unaffected.
Looking ahead, focus on three key signals:
First, can the 30-year Treasury yield hold steady at 5.3%;
Second, whether international oil prices will continue to rise, refueling inflation expectations;
Third, will the Fed's policy outlook for September turn further hawkish?
My judgment is that market volatility in August may intensify further, and before interest rate expectations truly reverse, risks still outweigh opportunities.Long positions in highly leveraged AI infrastructure collapsed under the dual pressure of memory chip and software stocks, forcing a well-known fund manager to sell at a discount, raising market concerns about liquidity trampling.
In the memory chip sector, $SNDK faced massive selling pressure after a concentrated sell-off, while previously shorted software stocks rebounded against the trend driven by closed positions.
Volatility in U.S. Treasury yields and the AI data center debt guarantee incident are re-anchoring institutions' risk appetite for overvalued tech stocks, forcing highly leveraged funds to conduct indiscriminate deleveraging.
Excessive position concentration and high leverage have directly led to liquidity exhaustion during margin calls, and this partial liquidation is spreading throughout the AI infrastructure sector.
If mainstream memory chip stocks stabilize and receive credit support from major company debts, market risk appetite will rebound. However, if US Treasury yields break through key resistance levels, this recovery path will fail.
When the chain reaction triggered by liquidations spreads to other leveraged positions, selling pressure will further reach second-tier AI hardware chains, unless large tech companies provide new liquidity guarantees to interrupt this trend.
There are still market disagreements over whether the AI computing power logic has been damaged. If software and hardware stocks return to same-direction volatility, the previous two-way liquidation logic caused by hedging failure will be disproven.
In the next seven days, the most important variable to watch is whether the daily closing price of the memory chip sector can hold above the key moving average after massive turnover.

An attacker can reconstruct candidate seeds offline once device and timing state are sufficiently constrained, without contacting the victim device. The same faulty RNG fed other Coldcard secrets too, so mapped wallet sweeps leave a wider potential crypto-loss tail.BTC mining companies sold off 61,000 BTC in the first half of the year, accelerating the "death spiral." Just the 32,000 BTC sold in Q1 already exceeded the total for all of 2025.
1. The halving was the trigger, losses are the main cause. After the halving in April 2024, block rewards dropped from 6.25 to 3.125. Some mining companies have production costs as high as $78,000, while spot prices are only $63,000-$65,000. Mining one BTC results in a loss of over $10,000; if they don’t sell BTC to pay electricity bills, they have to shut down. This is not an investment choice, it’s a survival issue.
2. The scale of sell-offs hasn’t stopped and is continuing. The 32,000 BTC was just data from publicly listed miners in Q1; now the monitored amount has reached 61,000 BTC. This also explains why BTC doesn’t rise even when ETFs have inflows—miners are selling, ETFs are buying, supply and demand basically offset each other. When ETFs have outflows but miners keep selling, the price naturally can’t hold.
3. A bigger issue is that mining companies are basically all transitioning to AI. Nvidia GPUs, data centers, AI computing power leasing—these business cash flows are much more stable than mining BTC. This isn’t just "riding the hype," it’s a business model shift.
This is why I’m currently pessimistic about the market, believing this rally won’t hold and the market will see another drop. Unless spot demand (ETF + institutions) experiences explosive growth, BTC will continue to be suppressed by sell pressure. Crypto Has Brainwashed Us

🔍 In-depth observation
1️⃣ Differentiation between spot and futures and long-term accumulation:
Coinbase's negative premium and net ETF outflows indicate a temporary withdrawal in institutional spot trading, but CryptoQuant data confirms BTC accumulated address inflows have hit a new high for this cycle. Whales are quietly accumulating shares amid uncertainty by exploiting retail investors' fears.
2️⃣ Liquidation Defense Line:
The overall RSI average across the network is in the neutral stable range of 46.87. ETH is establishing defenses near the key triangle breaking above the upper support level ($1,846); For BTC, attention should be paid to $62k-$61k whale buys; if it falls, it will trigger a chain liquidation toward $60k. #以太坊主网十一周年: Eleven years of uninterrupted operation and ecological achievements
3️⃣ Asian retail investors join forces with whales:
South Korea's kimchi premium turned positive (+1.18%), combined with multi-billion dollar net purchases of perpetual contracts by Binance and OKX whales, serving as the main support to prevent further price drops over the weekend.
💬 In short
Expectations of Fed rate hikes surged and spot selling pressure impacted the short-term market, but the Korean premium turned positive and OKX/Binance whales bought ETH/BTC futures as a strong hedging factor, with attention on the support effectiveness at BTC $62k and ETH $1846.
💵 Understanding the flow of funds is more important 💵 than predicting prices$CORE The rebound reached 0.02070, and die-hard fans collectively spread the word during the New Year, calmly reviewing the truth beneath the surface of the celebration
📈 The market slightly rebounded above 0.02070, instantly igniting the entire CORE community buzz. Many long-term holders and paid commentators have started circulating the post-launch screenshots, enthusiastically promoting the market, as if the bear market has completely ended and a super reversal has officially begun. Various long-term get-rich-quick narratives such as 6U, long-term hundred-fold, and Bitcoin ecosystem leaders have once again flooded the social media on a large scale.
⚠️ Important preface: The content is only an objective analysis of market phenomena. Crypto assets carry extremely high risks and do not constitute any investment advice
First, face the objective facts of the market and avoid deliberately empty smear campaigns
This round started a rebound from the stage low of 0.01678, rebounding to 0.02070, with short-term trading volume clearly warming up and releasing long-suppressed sentiment from trapped positions.
From a technical perspective, this is a recovery rebound after a deep drop. In the short term, bullish funds entering the market to compete for an oversold reversal, and a warming of sentiment is a normal market phenomenon.
But a rebound ≠ a trend reversal, short-term sentiment warming ≠ fundamentals undergoing a qualitative change—this is the common misconception most people fall into.
2. Dissecting the currently exploding promotional slogans: a large amount of information is deliberately vague or conceptually distorted
Recently, with the rebound, multiple favorable narratives have been released simultaneously, clarifying the packaging schemes one by one:
1. BTCS S.A Institutional Entry Narrative
Many promotions directly interpret it as institutions investing heavily in the secondary market and continuously buying up stock.
Fact: 18.48 million CORE tokens are node technical cooperation settlement chips, not bought through secondary market bidding; In the Series G round, only 10% of the funds are planned for CORE (about 10 million USD), not the rumored 100 million USD allocation, and there has been no official announcement or on-chain solid evidence of a full portfolio building so far. At the same time, it is important to distinguish: Poland's BTCS S.A and the US-listed BTCS Inc. have no connection.
2. Extensive ecological implementation narrative
The promotional list lists functions such as BTC staking, lstBTC, and dual staking, packaged as mature commercial achievements.
Objective distinction: Once the underlying contract is deployed, it can only be considered basic infrastructure; Currently, a large amount of on-chain TVL and staking data heavily depends on token subsidies, which rely on subsidy stacking data to ≠ real user needs and sustainable business cash flow. Core products like SatPay and consistently stable fee income still lack publicly verifiable transaction records.
3. The grand narrative of Bitcoin Grid, BTCFi
Vision sounds promising, but it is a long-term development goal. At present, they still face real challenges such as competitive squeeze, insufficient user base, and undeveloped business models. Grand stories are best suited for a rebound to attract follow-up capital.
3. Classic Market Strategy Review: Small rebound + concentrated positive news + long-term vision
Oversold coins during bear market phases often repeat the exact same script:
The long-term decline → hit a new low for a phase→ with small funds driving up the rally→ activating community sentiment→ and releasing various positive promotions→ launching high-priced targets (6U) that would take years to verify → attracting off-exchange retail investors to buy in.
Especially noteworthy: previously, the expected cycle of 6–18 months was expected to hit 6U, but after the market weakened, it quietly extended to 6–24 months. The cycle continues to be delayed, and whether it rises or falls, it cannot be disproven. This is a typical stabilization rhetoric.
4. To judge whether the market has truly reversed, don't rely on slogans—focus on these hardcore verification signals
Only if the following conditions are continuously met can there be a foundation for a trend reversal; a single rebound alone is not enough to draw conclusions:
1. The ecosystem generates real cash flow from fees unsubsidized and can publicly verify transaction transactions monthly;
2. BTCS S.A issued an official announcement with on-chain records proving that the secondary market increased funds had been implemented;
3. The market continues to see increased volume, holding a key resistance level, breaking free from a pulse-like one-day rally, and no longer falling back quickly;
4. Clear mitigation plans have emerged for the unlocking of large shares in the team and treasury, as well as potential risks of selling pressure from share reductions;
5. The BTCFi sector forms differentiated competitive advantages, continuously adding genuine independent users rather than transferring existing ones.
5. Rational advice
From the all-time high of $6.90 to around 0.015, a long downtrend has accumulated massive trapped positions. A rebound can only temporarily ease the pressure of losses from holdings and cannot directly erase the pain from the declines of the past few years.
With the current lively community celebration, once the rebound momentum fades and another pullback begins, holders will face even greater psychological gaps and greater pressure of losses.
You can participate in short-term market strategies, but don't be brainwashed by the frenzied atmosphere, and don't heavily invest or borrow funds to bet on distant long-term targets. Market narratives can be fabricated at any time, and once the principal suffers a significant loss, it is very difficult to recover.BTC Market Outlook
Short-term bullish, medium-term bearish.
BTC is currently around $62,900. After a continuous decline, short-term selling pressure has somewhat eased. If support can be found near $62,000, the market may see an oversold rebound or short covering.
However, from the 4-hour structure perspective, BTC is still in a downtrend, with rebound highs continuously moving lower. Until the price firmly breaks above $64,000–65,000 and breaks the downtrend structure, short-term rallies are better defined as technical rebounds rather than trend reversals.
The capital side remains weak. On July 31, the US spot Bitcoin ETF saw a net outflow of about $87.9 million, indicating that institutional incremental funds have not yet formed a sustained inflow, and market liquidity and upward momentum are clearly insufficient.
On the macro level, the Federal Reserve maintained interest rates at 3.50%–3.75% on July 29, and the easing cycle has not yet been confirmed. Future policies may gradually shift toward easing, but this is still an expectation and not enough to support a medium- to long-term BTC trend reversal.
Conclusion: Focus on oversold rebounds in the short term, maintain cautious bearishness in the medium term; only if the price firmly breaks above $64,000–65,000 and ETF funds resume sustained net inflows should the bearish view be adjusted. $BTC #30年期美债收益率创19年新高 The US-Iran war is not over, and $BTC and $ETH are struggling to break upward
The weekend tint isn't worth mentioning. What you really need to see is to pull the timeline to two months—you'll discover a harsh fact: BTC and ETH haven't "been stagnant in recent days," but have been sideways for a full two months, with the focus still sinking.
Look at the weekly chart. Since early June, BTC has been stuck in a box between $60,000 and $67,000, repeatedly bouncing against it: in mid-June, it briefly dropped to around $58,000, then rebounded, tested between $65,000 and $66,000 in July, but each time it touched the upper boundary and was suppressed back, closing the latest week at $62,700—even lower than the opening point. ETH is slightly stronger, recovering from the June low of 1,511 to 1,845 at the end of July, but it has also pulled back three times just before the 2,000 mark and still failed to break above it.
Two months, two boxes, countless times "it looks like I'm about to break through," but in the end, it's all just a feint 📦. Why? Because what has suppressed these two boxes has never been technical, but the same macro specter: the chain of the US-Iran war→ oil prices→ inflation, → rate hike expectations—none of these have been broken.
1. The core logic of long-term suppression: war is the fuel for inflation, and inflation is the trigger for interest rate hikes
Just look at the timeline and you'll understand. From late May to early June, BTC crashed from 76,000 to 62,000, and ETH dropped from 2,000 to 1,500—this was no coincidence, just as the US-Iran conflict was escalating and oil prices began to surge. In July, Brent crude rose 31% cumulatively, while U.S. crude oil rose 26%. These two "fuel bombs" for oil prices continue to fuel inflation expectations in the U.S.
The data is already there: core PCE has returned above 3.0%, the 30-year Treasury yield has broken through 5.2% (the highest since 2007), and the probability of a September CME rate hike is oscillating between 50% and 80%. Behind these three numbers lies the same logical chain—
The war continues→ oil prices can't be brought down→ inflation can't be suppressed→ The Fed dares not ease its stance, → rate hike expectations hang overhead→ BTC/ETH with zero cash flow continues to bleed. 🔗
This isn't just any bad news; it's a structural suppression that won't be lifted for at least one or two quarters. As long as the war remains, this chain will repeatedly suppress rebounds on every data release day and every time the Middle East situation heats up.
2. History tells us: crypto in geopolitical conflicts is more honest than anyone when it falls
There are always people who comfort themselves with "digital gold," but data doesn't lie. Over the past two months, whenever the US-Iran situation escalated, BTC behaved more like a "high-volatility risk asset" than a "safe-haven asset"—funds withdrew into the dollar, gold, and Treasuries during conflicts, with crypto being the one being sold off.
What's even more troublesome is the "uncertain premium." The market is not afraid of certain bad news; what worries about it is the Schrödinger state of "whether it will fight or not, to what extent, and whether it will drag down the Strait of Hormuz." As long as there is no clear signal of an end to the war—no ceasefire implemented, no diplomatic breakthrough, no oil price turnaround—institutions have no incentive to go long heavily on BTC. After all, who would want to bet on an upward trend 🤷 in an environment where "another missile could come at any moment"?
And don't forget the fundamentals: BTC has closed lower for two consecutive quarters in the first half of the year (historically only four times), with the average daily spot turnover in July at only $2.2 billion, the lowest since November 2023—this isn't "gathering before takeoff," but a true reflection of liquidity depletion. Without incremental funds, the war isn't over; the rebound is just a game of existing capital—neither rising nor falling deeply, with the focus slowly shifting downward.
3. So what exactly should we look for in the long term? Three signals of the "end of the war."
Instead of constantly watching candlesticks to predict tops and bottoms, it's better to focus on three long-term signals that can change the game:
First, oil prices peaked and then retreated. This is the most direct indicator of the situation. If Brent falls from its highs for several consecutive weeks, it indicates that the war premium is fading, inflationary pressures are easing, and rate hike expectations are cooling — this is the primary prerequisite ⛽ for BTC/ETH to qualify for a long-term breakout.
Second, diplomatic easing has emerged in reality. The implementation of the ceasefire agreement, the two sides sending clear signals of de-escalation, or the restart of Iran nuclear negotiations—any "substantive" move will cause the market to start pricing in the "post-war era," and risk appetite will truly return 🕊.
Third, signs of a shift from the Federal Reserve. Before the September FOMC, Walsh's remarks at Jackson Hole (late August) were a window of observation. If inflation cools due to falling oil prices and the Fed leaves room for rate cuts again, that will be when BTC/ETH truly opens upside—which may not appear until one or two quarters after the war ends.
4. Long-term trading strategy: Don't go head-to-head with the trend; wait for the structure to break through
From a practical perspective, the correct long-term approach is not prediction, but waiting for confirmation:
Boxing strategies are the main approach. Before the war ends or rate hikes are implemented, BTC's 60,000-67,000 and ETH's 1,800-2,000 are the main battlegrounds. Rebound to the upper boundary of the range (BTC 65,000+ / ETH 1,950+) to reduce or lightly position to be bearish; if it falls to the lower boundary (BTC 61,000-62,000 / ETH 1,800-1,830), observe for support, no breakout or short 📊 chase.
The real heavy position moment is the moment of "breaking through and confirming." What is breakthrough confirmation? Oil prices continue to fall + ceasefire implementation + Fed sending dovish signals—at least two of these three factors appear, and BTC has steadily held above 67,000 with increased volume—then discussing an "upward breakout" is the best way to go with the flow, rather than to buy the dip 🚀 against the war's winds.
Before breaking the deadlock, surviving is more important than making money. Two months of sideways trading have already eroded a large number of bulls, and geopolitical risks mean any day's insertion can be magnified tenfold. Position control and stop-loss discipline are more valuable 🛡 than any "bottom-fishing technique."
The war will end, inflation will fall, and the rate hike cycle will eventually shift—these are all certain directions, but the timing is unknown. But until then, the long-term script of BTC and ETH will not change: box oscillation, center of gravity under pressure, waiting for a breakthrough. Patience is the most scarce position in this market cycle.

The recent focus in the financial markets may not be the US stock market or gold, but the Japanese yen.
There are reports that the US is preparing in advance for possible currency intervention. If this news is eventually confirmed, it means the yen issue has escalated from a domestic Japanese matter to a risk that the global financial markets need to collectively pay attention to.
Why does a currency issue attract so much attention?
Because the yen has always been an important global safe-haven currency. Once the exchange rate experiences drastic fluctuations, capital flows, the global bond market, US stocks, and even the crypto market could all be affected in a chain reaction.
Of course, official intervention does not necessarily mean the trend will change.
Currently, US interest rates remain high, and Japan's monetary policy is still relatively loose, so the interest rate differential between the two countries persists. Against this backdrop, even if Japan or other countries take intervention measures, it is more likely to slow the depreciation of the yen rather than directly trigger a long-term appreciation cycle.
What truly deserves attention is the attitude of central banks worldwide going forward.
If a joint currency intervention emerges in the future, the global market is likely to face a new round of volatility; but without stronger policy coordination, the pressure on the yen may still be difficult to fully relieve in the short term.
Therefore, rather than focusing on the yen's daily fluctuations of a few points, it is better to watch the policy direction. Often, what truly changes the market is not the price itself, but the moment when policy begins to shift.The biggest gossip in the industry recently is AI stock god Leopold, who was forced to sell heavily held stocks at a discount, with the entire internet mocking him for completely crashing.
Famous influencer Serenity directly spoke up for him: The media's narrative is too extreme, labeling short-term drawdowns as a complete strategy failure, which is not objective.
A brief overview of the causes and consequences:
Leopold made a fortune early by betting on AI infrastructure stocks like SNDK and BE Energy, becoming a legend for a time. The July market collapsed, with heavy storage chip holdings plunging collectively, and short-selling software stocks rising against the trend. Hit by 4x leverage at both ends, facing margin calls, forced to sell off their holdings.
Serenity's view is very straightforward: a major drop cannot be completely rejected. Although this time exposed his excessive leverage, poor liquidity risk control, and ineffective hedging, the total value shows he still has an 80% return this year, which is still top-tier among hedge funds.
Here are my thoughts:
1. Long-term logic ≠ short-term doesn't die. Leopold is optimistic that the overall direction of AI computing power and storage has not disrupted, but loses due to overly concentrated positions and overly leveraged. If the trend is right, even if capital management collapses, it still can't withstand a sharp drop.
2. The public opinion market has always been a winner and loser. When the market surges, everyone is chasing after the stock god, and after a round of pullbacks, everyone kicks them when they're down. This phenomenon is common in both US stocks and crypto circles.
3. Key points to inspire us traders: Be optimistic about one direction, and never blindly believe in full positions and high leverage. If you see the right direction and can't withstand the volatility and shakeout, exit early—it's all just empty talk.
Subsequent market angles:
After massive selling pressure was released, stocks like SNDK have short-term recovery opportunities, but don't simply repeat Leopold's heavy holdings. In a volatile market, prioritize controlling leverage, wait for stabilization signals, and avoid blindly bottom-fishing for reversals. #30年期美债收益率创19年新高 #谷歌为AI数据中心债务兜底, in exchange for 20% equity #"AI Stock God" fund clears positions, Micron rises over 15% in a single day #30年期美债收益率创19年新高
U.S. stocks are starting to cool down. Is a rate cut already on the Federal Reserve's agenda?
The latest U.S. economic data is causing the market to bet again on a rate cut.
U.S. GDP growth slowed to 1.5%, indicating that economic expansion is decelerating; meanwhile, the PCE unexpectedly turned negative month-over-month, showing that inflationary pressures continue to ease. These two key indicators are moving in the direction the Fed hopes to see, which has also reignited market expectations for a rate cut.
However, what truly determines market trends is not the data itself, but how the Fed will act next.
If the economy continues to cool in the coming months and inflation remains stable, the likelihood of a rate cut will increase further, risk appetite for capital is expected to recover, and assets like U.S. stocks, gold, and Bitcoin could all see new opportunities.
But it’s still too early to be overly optimistic. The Fed’s biggest concern remains inflation rebounding. As long as the labor market stays strong or inflation picks up again, the timing of a rate cut may continue to be delayed.
Therefore, the upcoming releases of nonfarm payrolls, CPI, and PCE data are likely to be the true indicators that will determine the market’s next phase. Nvidia's market value soared over 400 billion in a single day—has AI computing power finally delivered real financial returns?
Another tech giant has shaken Wall Street's perception with its stock price, with daily market value surging to the $400 billion mark. On the surface, quarterly results far exceed expectations, but deeper signals are more intriguing: AI is no longer just about burning money, but is genuinely contributing profits.
The data center business is booming, with demand for AI chips and cloud computing power continuing to surge. Corporate purchasing orders with real money convince the market that large models are not castles in the air, but essential tools willing to pay. Many once questioned whether the giants would lose everything by pouring hundreds of billions a year, but now this report is quite convincing.
This means the capital market does not reject AI investment; it simply stops paying for pure concepts and will only heavily reward players who have already completed the commercial closed loop. Next, the market will shift from a "broad-based bubble" to "selecting the best among the best," with resources accelerating toward the top. The wave of shear-through in AI investment is actually just beginning.

Weekly Market Overview: First Dip, Then Rebound, Weekly Closed Higher Last week, US stocks experienced an extreme "panic sell-off - violent rebound - consolidation" deep V-shaped rally. At the start of the week, the index fell continuously, hit by hawkish expectations from the Fed and profit-taking at high levels; Midweek, relying on tech giants' better-than-expected earnings, a strong recovery began; At the end of the week, the market digested data and earnings reports, fluctuating within a narrow range. All three major indices closed higher on the weekly chart, ending a three-week losing streak. • Dow Jones Industrial Average: Up 1.04% for the week, at 52,485.03; up 0.32% for July, marking four consecutive monthly gains • S&P 500: Up 1.05% for the week, at 7,489.72; down 0.13% for July • Nasdaq Composite Index: Up 1.59% for the week, at 25,373.85; down 3.2% for July, making it one of the worst months this year • Fear Index VIX: Weekly high above 21, Weekend Decline to 17.8, Risk Aversion Gradually Cools Alongside Rebound Weekly Rhythm Breakdown 1. Monday (7.28): Style polarization was extreme. The Dow rose 1.05%, leading value stocks, while the Nasdaq fell 0.22% for the fifth consecutive decline. Semiconductors and storage sectors led the declines. Tuesday (7.29): The entire board plunged, with the Dow down 2.19%, marking its largest single-day drop of the year. The Nasdaq fell 1.74%, marking its sixth consecutive decline, with the Fed's hawkish stance fully suppressedThe script was written backwards; what should have fallen turned out to be like a pigeon flying all over the field with its throat cut. Everyone, look closely—this is the most beautiful "trompe-l'œil performance" of the week.
Meta's earnings report yesterday was a classic "one-size-fits-all" trick—precise cuts, blood flowing profusely, and the audience exclaimed in unison. Today, Amazon has delivered the same knife: profit margins are burned by capital expenditure, and guidance is shattered to pieces. By the rules, it's time for a downside. Yet it just pulls out an AWS mirror: 39.4% profit margin, 37% growth—the most spectacular profile since 2021. Look, the audience's attention is instantly drawn away by that light—who still remembers that $220 billion shredder backstage?
This is the essence of the illusion: your eyes always serve the good fortune of "growth." The dealer threw a white pigeon to the upper left. Everyone looked up—hey, the clouds were accelerating! So the scale in my heart automatically tipped: Burning money? That's called a prepayment. Deficit? That's called infrastructure. Drop? That was a fine for the slow-witted.
But you and I are both card players; we have to learn to smell the scent of the card at the bottom. MSFT honestly showed you their trump card, Meta threw a blank sword, and what about Amazon? It plays a "two-handed" role: one hand lets you see AWS's greasy shine, the other pushes the 220B bill under the table. The market chose only that hand, and cheered. Is this fundamental analysis? This is the highest level of collective hypnosis.
If you are a retail investor, what you are always watching is their open hand. And we only focus on the cuffs.
Did that pigeon fly back? Is it holding an olive branch in its mouth, or is it a bill of exchange payable instantly?Account position divergence radar
Where people stand and where money is held are sometimes completely different things.
$BTC Accounts with a long profile hold more weights, while top positions bear weights, and the surface consensus has yet to reach position size. Prices rise in sync with holdings; short-term trading is not just about replenishing old positions. Before the top position ratio returned above 1, the advantage of long accounts remains an incomplete consensus.
$ETH The number of accounts has shifted toward the bullish side, with leading positions not following suit; the current divergence comes from quantity and weight. The decline did not lead to position expansion; first observe when the contraction in risk exposure slows down. The account side is already overweight; it depends on whether the top positions are willing to push the weight to the same side.
$SOL All and leading accounts are pushing toward the bulls, while the top holdings remain on the short side—this is a clear set of account/position divergence. The decline is accompanied by a drop in OI, mainly characterized by the exit of old positions rather than new positions continuing to suppress prices. If prices continue to strengthen but the leading position ratio remains below 1, this divergence has not truly closed.#韩股KOSPI盘中飙升14%, marking the largest single-day gain in history
Who would have thought that while the circuit breaker was just one day earlier, the Korean stock market launched a violent counterattack the next.
This market rally once again reminds everyone: the fiercest market rebounds often happen at the most pessimistic moments.
In just the past 40 days, South Korea's KOSPI index has dropped more than 43% cumulatively, with massive capital withdrawals, multiple market circuit breakers triggered, countless highly leveraged investors forced to exit, and panic nearly spreading throughout the entire market.
But just as everyone was unanimously bearish, funds suddenly made a surprise move.
KOSPI surged more than 16% intraday, setting a new single-day record in recent years. Samsung Electronics once rose about 20%, SK Hynix gained nearly 25%, and the semiconductor sector surged across the board, quickly regaining significant ground in the entire index.
This surge was not without warning.
US tech giants like Microsoft delivered impressive earnings reports, AI buzz has reignited, and global capital is once again chasing tech stocks; South Korean regulators also introduced measures to stabilize the market, easing market panic; Coupled with the continuous sharp decline, a large amount of short-selling and bottom-fishing funds poured in, collectively igniting this round of retaliatory rebound.
If you look at a familiar market, such a rise is equivalent to Bitcoin rising 16% in one day, or the Shanghai Composite Index surging 16% in one day—enough to make many short positions too late to get on the board, and also cause many short sellers to be instantly liquidated.
The market never operates as most people expect.
The more everyone thinks the decline will continue, the more likely an unexpected major reversal will occur. And those who truly make money are often not the most accurate predictors, but those who can control risks and remain patient even in extreme emotions.#微软单日市值增近4500亿，创美股纪录
Don't be shocked by the $450 billion figure just yet.
What truly matters is not Microsoft's stock hitting new highs, but the shift in Wall Street's attitude toward AI.
Previously, the market's biggest worry was whether tech giants spending hundreds of billions annually on AI would end up with nothing but a bunch of servers and losses. Now, those concerns are being gradually dispelled by Microsoft.
Azure cloud business continues to grow, Copilot paid users keep expanding, and more companies are willing to pay for AI. This shows AI has moved from "storytelling" to "profit-making," and its business model is starting to be validated.
Microsoft's nearly $450 billion market cap surge in one day seems like a financial report hype, but it's actually a revaluation of the entire AI industry.
This also explains why some AI companies announce huge investments yet see their stock prices plummet, while Microsoft gains market favor.
Capital doesn't reject high investment; it only cares about one thing—whether these investments can ultimately convert into cash flow and profits.
Going forward, the AI sector will likely enter a phase where the strong get stronger.
Not all companies labeled AI will rise; only those leading enterprises with technology, users, and profitability will continuously attract funding.
The AI story isn't over; it has just shifted from competing on imagination to competing on the ability to make money. $CORE Recently, a flood of news has been flooding the forum: European institutions have made a massive move into BTCS to lay out CORE. Many people directly interpret this as institutions buying up goods in the secondary market with real money, first clarifying the boundaries between key entities and facts, and avoiding misleading information caused by information confusion.
Important pre-distinctions
Poland's BTCS S.A ≠ US's BTCS Inc—these two entities are completely unrelated. Don't let them get confused and misinterpret.
1. Proven Implementation: 18.48 million CORE, which is a cooperative settlement token
BTCS S.A obtained over 18.48 million CORE through technical cooperation with ecosystem nodes, with tokens posted and included on the balance sheet, accompanied by a value guarantee protocol.
Key Points:
These tokens were jointly settled by the project team, not bought by BTCS through bidding on the secondary market.
This is fundamentally different from institutions actively being optimistic and investing real money in off-exchange or secondary markets.
2. Series G $100 million financing plan to correct the most widely circulated rumors
The online rumor that "BTCS raised $100 million to buy all CORE" is a serious exaggeration.
Real Fund Allocation Plan:
60% allocated to BTC, 30% to ZIG, and only 10% to CORE, corresponding to a planned quota of about 10 million USD.
This round of financing was completed on July 20, 2026.
The planned secondary market increase is merely a timely execution, with no official announcement proving that the quota has been fully established.
3. Key points that require rational vigilance (the most ambiguous parts Fuuki)
1. Capital Planning ≠ Instantly Full Position
Institutional positions are phased and timely; market conditions, liquidity, and risk conditions all affect the pace, so they won't go all-in in the short term. If you can't just see the financing come through, you can assume you'll immediately push prices up.
2. Large on-chain transfers cannot be directly equated with BTCS positions
Don't rely solely on on-chain address transfers to imagine institutional movements; it's easy to be misled by swaps or split transfers. Everything is subject to official announcements.
3. Settlement chips and secondary market holdings are two separate events
Having chips from cooperation doesn't mean they'll keep increasing their buying in the secondary market. Communities often deliberately combine narratives to amplify positive expectations.
Summary
✅ Fact: BTCS S.A does hold 18.48 million CORE tokens (node cooperative settlement); Series G financing completed, with plans to allocate funds to CORE.
❌ Misconception: Not spending 100 million USD on CORE; Existing positions are not built in the secondary market; The planned increase progress has not been officially announced.
The positive news is real, but there is a lot of exaggeration and conceptual distortion in the rhetoric. During a rebound, these institutional narratives are easy to use to boost sentiment.
Subsequent verification only recognized strong signals: BTCS officially issued an increase in holdings announcement and publicly disclosed corresponding on-chain buying records, rather than relying on rumors or address speculation.
Narratives can amplify expectations, but the progress of building positions requires official confirmation.

The key point is that BTC still acts as an anchor for liquidity, ETH is in a zone where institutional buying accumulates slowly, and SOL is a market where speed and psychological play are alive. Looking at this trend from a cross-market structure, BTC sets the direction and ETH supports the downside, while altcoins are sharply divided by the speed of capital turnover. While the stocks with inflow have recently entered a period of overheating or theme exhaustion, the stocks that have flowed in have yet to gain public recognition. While $CORE's price is consolidating at a low level, large on-chain Bitcoin addresses continue to converge into dual staking contracts.
Selling pressure in the spot market has temporarily eased within the current range, and the low-level fluctuations have not triggered large-scale panic selling.
A large amount of long-term accumulated Bitcoin funds chose to abandon cashing out during market rallies, instead locking them within the ecosystem through dual staking mechanisms to earn derivative income.
This large-scale idle capital lock-up directly builds liquidity bottom support for the ecosystem, delaying downward pressure in the spot market.
If SatPay's large-scale commercialization can bring sustained fee cash flow, the ecosystem will attract more incremental capital entry. However, if the treasury buyback mechanism is not regularly implemented, this path of strength will lose support.
If institutional funds face turnover pressures and trigger portfolio readjustments, or if similar lightweight mining projects divert funds due to low replication thresholds, locked liquidity will be lost, unless the returns on dual staking can remain at an absolute high level.
The current market's optimistic expectations for long-term lock-up may be completely disproven when institutional funds make substantial large-scale transfers and rebalances.
In the next seven days, the most important variable to watch is whether the net inflow rate of total Bitcoin locked in dual staking contracts slows down.
#Tether季度盈利15亿, gold rose to 146 #苹果第三财季业绩超预期 tons, and the stock price plunged sharply in after-hours tradingETH is bullish and bearish, so why can't short-term hype be directly seen as a breakout signal?
According to the official community sentiment snapshot of OKX Onchain OS at 04:00 (China time) on August 2, ETH recorded 12 mentions in the past hour, with sources including X 11 times and 1 news report. There were 700 mentions in 24 hours; After converting the long window to the hourly average, the latest hourly speed is about 0.41 times. This means the current discussion pace is slower or faster relative to the long-window average, and does not correspond to the price direction.
The tone structure adds an extra layer of information than just looking at the total amount. The proportion of ETH one-hour samples is slightly bullish, with 25% bearish, 8% bearish, and about 67% neutral; The 24-hour correspondence ratio is 40% bullish and 13% bearish. Short-term window internal bias is clearly higher than bias bearish, but the sample is only 12 times, so any concentrated event can cause proportions to swing rapidly.
This set of numbers best answers "the tone of ETH discussions currently leaning toward it," rather than "how much capital is betting on the market to rise." Text categories do not read wallet positions, nor are each mention weighted by capital size. A highly engaged account and multiple small accounts are just text samples; reposts, quotes, and news retellings may even describe the same thing.
Source separation can help identify the texture of hotspots. If mentions on X increase but news remains scarce, the topic may first spread on social media; If news sources increase simultaneously, it indicates more verifiable event materials. However, the increase in news volume does not guarantee positive content; it is still necessary to return to agreements, foundations, regulators, or original company announcements to avoid using secondhand headlines to fill in unconfirmed details.
For ETH, subsequent validation can be divided into two lines: network usage and market structure. Network usage includes transaction fees, active addresses, L2 settlement, and staking changes; Market structure includes spot trading, futures basis, funding rates, and option skew. Only when the community bias is partially echoed in these independent data can it be possible to upgrade from tone signals to more reliable market judgments.
Also, pay attention to the 24-hour average limit. 700 times divided by twenty-four is a convenient benchmark for comparison, but it smooths out spikes caused by press conferences, regulatory announcements, or US trading sessions. If the latest hour is below the average, it may just be a time zone difference; If it is above the average, it may just be a single news outburst. At least observe two to three consecutive snapshots to qualify for a trend continuation.
A more stable conditional statement is: if the proportion of ETH overweight remains after the sample expands, the mention speed is once again higher than the long-window average, and the sources expand from pure X to multiple official or news channels, market attention will be more solid. Conversely, if the total volume drops in the next round and the ratio quickly returns to neutral, the current round result should be regarded as short-window noise.
Currently, official data supports only two points: ETH's one-hour bullish tone is higher than bearish sentiment, and the short-term discussion speed is about 0.41 times the 24-hour average. It has not proven a breakout, net inflow, or synchronized on-chain demand. The article sets a short validity period and retains the original metrics so that the next update can be replaced directly, rather than letting a beautiful proportion become an outdated conclusion in the absence of new evidence.Next Wednesday's earnings report: The resonance of AI and storage, plus SpaceX's multi-billion dollar gamble
Next week marks a small peak in earnings reports for US tech stocks, with three to watch — AMD$AMD, SanDisk$SNDK, and SpaceX$SPCX. The first two companies belong to two segments of the AI industry chain: computing chips and storage chips. Their financial reports corroborate each other, signaling a wave of signal at the industry chain level. SpaceX is a different story, carrying the Damocles Sword of unlocking hundreds of billions in unlocked, facing its first report card since listing alone. Even more interestingly, AMD and SpaceX are both rushing to release their earnings reports on the same night.
Let's talk about the first two first; their stories must be viewed together.
1. AMD and SanDisk: Two Answers in One AI Industry Chain
The relationship between these two companies can be summed up in one sentence: AI training requires a large number of computing chips, and behind every AI chip lies a flash memory chip for data throughput. AMD is the challenger in computing power, while SanDisk is the barometer in storage; their financial reports answer two questions about the AI cycle.
AMD (after hours on Tuesday, August 4). ⏰
Earnings release time: East Coast after 16:05 on August 4 / August 5 (Wednesday) at 04:05 Beijing time, conference call starts at 17:00 ET (Beijing 05:00).
The market expects AMD's Q2 revenue to be $11.3 billion, a 46% year-over-year increase, with EPS of $1.61, a year-on-year surge of 235%. At the heart of the story is the data center: the EPYC server CPU and Instinct GPU are its two weapons against NVIDIA. The company's own guidance is revenue of 11.2 billion ± 300 million, with a gross margin of about 56%—in other words, simply "meeting the guidelines" is not enough; the market expects the MI450 accelerator card to exceed expectations. AMD's stock price has more than doubled this year, and its valuation is not cheap. What the earnings report needs to prove is not "good gains," but "data center market share is truly expanding."
SanDisk (after market closed on Wednesday, August 5). ⏰
Earnings release time: East Coast after 16:05 on August 5 / Beijing time at 04:05 on Thursday, August 6, conference call begins at 16:30 ET (Beijing 04:30).
This is the most exaggerated of the three: market expectation of EPS of $34.4 (+11,700% year-on-year), revenue of $8.4 billion (+340% year-on-year). The numbers are absurd because the storage industry is at the peak of the NAND price hike cycle—SSD demand for AI servers is surging, and with major manufacturers cutting production and price controls, flash memory prices have risen for several consecutive quarters. SanDisk's financial report validates not only itself but the entire storage chain: if it exceeds expectations, it means AI storage demand is real; If it blows up, the entire narrative of "storage price hikes" will have to be repriced. Moreover, its financial report follows AMD's closely, and the results will be revealed the next day, making it the second signal in the industry chain.
How to connect these two reports: AMD reports first, setting the tone for AI chip demand; SanDisk immediately reports to verify whether the storage side is keeping up. If both companies exceed expectations, the AI cycle narrative will be confirmed; If AMD is strong and SanDisk is weak, that's a warning sign of misalignment—meaning computing power is stacking up, storage can't keep up, and the AI infrastructure is already out of balance. Conversely, if AMD is weak, then no matter how strong SanDisk is, it cannot hold up alone.
2. SpaceX: A one-person gamble worth hundreds of billions
SPCX doesn't need to be discussed alongside the previous two, because the challenges it faces are completely different—not growth, but survival pressures.
SpaceX (after market close on Tuesday, August 4). ⏰
Earnings release time: East Coast August 4, 16:30 / Beijing time, August 5 (Wednesday) 04:30 AM (pure audio live broadcast, management briefing 16:30 CT / 17:30 ET, Beijing 05:30).
It released its earnings report the same evening as AMD. SpaceX will release its first earnings report since going public, with market expectations for EPS of -$0.28, indicating a loss. But the financial report itself is not the main point; the key is the unlocking that started on the second trading day after the report: 911.5 million internal shares unlocked, with a market value of about 100 billion yuan, equivalent to 1.6 times the total circulating shares. This means that for every tradable stock on the market, 1.6 shares suddenly gain overnight to be dumped.
The stock price says it all: from a post-IPO high of $225 to around $108, it fell more than 30% in July alone, and has long since fallen below the $135 issue price. The market actually wants to see three things: whether Starlink's gross margin can withstand the decline in ARPU, whether xAI's cash-burning has taberated, and — most importantly—whether the 100-billion unlocking will be absorbed by incremental funds or triggered a stampede.
The good news is that Musk himself locked up his holdings until 2027, so the boss won't run away. The bad news is: new stocks falling below issue price + massive volume unlocking + loss-making financial reports—these three events happen simultaneously, making it rare in history to hit bottom on the first try. No one doubts SpaceX's long-term story, but the short-term chip structure means it may need to let the last batch of panic sellers exit before it can talk about stabilization.
3. One-sentence summary
From August 4 to August 5, over two days, three companies followed two main themes: one was AMD and SanDisk using earnings reports asking "Is there still fuel for the AI cycle?" The other was SpaceX answering "how much unlocking chips faith can hold" based on earnings. The former determines the mid-term direction of tech stocks, while the latter determines the fate of a $100 billion stock.
For investors, the two most noteworthy moments are: the after-hours reaction after AMD's earnings report on the evening of August 4 (around 04:05 in Beijing, 5:00 AM conference call), to see if AI chip demand is still accelerating; And the day after SanDisk's earnings report was released on August 5 (Beijing, August 6, 04:05), to see if the storage chain has materialized. Don't jump into the SpaceX ban reopening event in between
#30年期美债收益率创19年新高 A few points about $AAOI, please stay tuned for next week's Q2 earnings report:
In short: $AAOI is the only vertically integrated transceiver manufacturer in the West with its own InP laser wafer fab, with production capacity directly targeting 800G/1.6T mass production. The company is currently expanding capacity in Texas, so if capacity is successfully launched, its revenue will have basically been presold due to the supply-demand gap. Other factors, such as high P/E ratios, equity dilution risks, and Chief Purchasing Officer (CPO) schedules, are only secondary; the key is whether $AAOI can truly and quickly produce enough modules.
During the Q1 earnings call, the CEO stated: "Actual demand is not $1.1 billion, but $1.4 to $1.5 billion," and the reason for raising the full-year performance forecast is simply for revenue "over $1.1 billion," as current production and supply chain are their bottlenecks.
Therefore, since demand exceeds supply, $AAOI becomes a bet on manufacturing execution.
In other words, can $AAOI increase 800G/1.6T capacity from about 100,000 modules per month in the first quarter to over 650,000 modules per month by the end of the year, and reach about 930,000 modules per month by the end of 2027? Since I'm not an insider, I'm not sure. But if they increase capacity, both revenue and profit margins will be affected.
Additionally, I personally feel that most of the $AAOI bearish articles I've read overemphasize customer concentration and dilution, underestimating their only truly differentiating asset: the laser manufacturing plant.
Everyone is missing InP.
InnoLight, Eoptolink, and all commercial module manufacturers source EMLs from a few suppliers, mainly $LITE and $COHR. Both suppliers themselves are facing capacity constraints, and their supply has been locked in due to $NVDA's investment in March. Even $FN mentioned that their data communication product line is limited by the supply of components and materials, such as lasers, DSPs, and ASICs, rather than market demand.
$AAOI is the only company in the Western supply chain to manufacture EMLs using its own tools, and plans to expand the scale of this laser manufacturing plant by about four times by 2027.
In the first quarter, the CFO stated: "So far, equipment supply has not been an issue, as most of these devices have been developed internally...... This means we usually don't directly compete for supply with other similar companies. ”
Therefore, in a world of laser shortages, vertical integration actually means $AAOI can actually ship, but merchants cannot.
This is also why tariff stacking is more important than you might think, since most transceiver assembly worldwide is in China. For U.S. hyperscale data center operators, U.S. laser chip manufacturers are an effective hedging tool for procurement, as they have no competitors in China. The price of Chinese modules is still about 20-25% lower than in the US, so this is more about security/supply considerations than cost savings. This is precisely the structural reason why $AMZN and $MSFT initially engaged in cooperation, and why $AAOI's expansion in Texas is truly strategic, rather than, as many fear, merely vanity capital expenditures in AI infrastructure construction.
Nevertheless, 800G remains small in scale: in the first quarter, it accounted for only 5.6% of data center revenue, with quarterly revenue mainly contributed by 100G (41% of data center revenue) and 200G/400G (46.7% of data center revenue). "800G capacity ramp-up" is a forward-looking event that should be slightly reflected in the second quarter but more pronounced in the third quarter.
Therefore, I believe the second quarter results will leave many optimistic about the company feeling "disappointed." For reference, management clearly told everyone that the first half of the year is only about one-third of the whole year, and the "significantly expanded" capacity ramp-up will begin "in the third quarter with new capacity coming online."
Therefore, if the optical margin is insufficient, a "weak" Q2 does not constitute a warning signal. In fact, the only important indicators are the trajectory of the Q3 guidance and the 800G unit.
If $AAOI forecasts a 60-80% quarter-on-quarter growth in the third quarter, it confirms that 800G will become their largest DC revenue product line, and the 1.6T product line will also begin contributing revenue. Obviously, if the third-quarter guidance is weak, the capacity transformation plan I mentioned earlier will be hindered, and then we will have to revisit management and its past record of overcommitment/shareholder disappointment.
I believe the following points should be considered in order:
1. Third quarter revenue forecast
2. 800G revenue and shipments
3. Gross margin compared to an expected 29-30% + any restated year-end targets (about 35%). #30年期美债收益率创19年新高 #财报观察员: Amazon's guidance fell short of expectations, but its stock price rebounded by 9% #微软单日市值增近4500亿, setting a record for US stocks
Disclosure — I hold shares in $AAOI.If a single bullish candlestick could define a bullish recovery, then losses would likely come about in this way. Have you ever had that moment: even though it only rose for one day, you're already calculating how to spend it after it doubles? Today, I don't want to talk about emotions, but rather risk management. Because after scanning the market, I found the market was speaking differently—it wasn't a broad rally, it was filtering through the market. First, let's see what the funds are doing. BTC, ETH, and SOL remain the backbone, especially BTC, which is fluctuating at high levels in line with the cycle, and institutional buying has not significantly receded. This signal deserves serious attention. ETH has ETF funds as a foundation, SOL continues to carry the banner of Layer1, TAO and WLD are still attracting funds in the AI sector, and DOGE acts like a mirror, reflecting whether retail investor sentiment is still hot. On the other hand, many altcoins are still lying low, such as SHIB, TRUMP, and VIRTUAL, with weak rebounds, indicating that capital is not sharing evenly. What is the market trading? In my view, what is trading is a "certainty premium." It's not that money isn't coming anymore; it's that they're picky—only willing to go where there is authentic storytelling, ongoing buying, and institutional presence. In this environment, the most dangerous positions aren't those that haven't risen, but those coins that make you believe a "reversal is coming" just by a single bullish candlestick. If this judgment holds, then the next trend is clear: the strong get stronger, the weak fall in shadow. BTC is the anchor; if it is stable, the market has a bottom; If it suddenly accelerates to the top, you should be wary of a return after overheating emotionsRecently, the fluctuations in the crypto market haven't been very large every day, which actually makes me interested in spending more time studying US stocks. Especially the recent $SPCX
Brothers engaged in short-term trading should pay close attention; two important events are approaching in the next couple of days that may cause significant fluctuations in the stock price.
The first is the first post-IPO financial report to be released on August 4. Currently, the market is not simply looking at whether SpaceX has a story, but rather whether its performance matches current valuations. Starlink, AI business, and rocket launches are all strong long-term logic, but the problem is that the market has already set high expectations in the early stages.
So this financial report fears one possible scenario:
The performance is good, but it has not exceeded market expectations.
For ordinary companies, profit growth may be a positive sign, but for high-profile stocks like SPCX, capital demands "stronger growth and better guidance." If the financial report only meets expectations, it is easy for positive news to materialize.
The second point worth paying more attention to is the subsequent stock unlocking pressure.
Currently, the market is watching the release of the first round of locked-in shares after the earnings report, and some early investor shares may enter tradable status, increasing market circulation assets. The market's concern is not that SpaceX lacks value, but whether, after a large short-term release of chips, funds will be cashed out.
This is also why, after the successful Starship test, SPCX's stock price did not soar as many retail investors had imagined, but instead continued to weaken. Because nowadays, the trading of funds is no longer about whether the Rockets succeeded or not, but rather:
Has the valuation been overdrawn?
Can the earnings report continue to deliver surprises?
Is there selling pressure after unlocking?
So for those who are stuck at high levels, if you are a long-term trader, I think you shouldn't fantasize about immediately returning to previous highs in the short term. SpaceX's long-term story is not over, but short-term capital needs to reabsorb valuation and chip pressure.
From a trading perspective, I actually pay more attention to the market reaction on earnings day day:
If the financial report is good but the stock price surges and then falls, it means funds are taking advantage of good news to realize it;
If the earnings report exceeds expectations and volume surges through resistance levels, it will indicate the market re-acknowledges this valuation.
Currently, my view is still cautious; short-term blind chasing of rallies is not advisable. A good company doesn't mean every price is worth buying; truly good trading opportunities often come when market sentiment and fundamentals diverge.
The biggest future focus on SPCX is not whether the rocket can still fly, but whether the market is willing to continue valuing it higher.
$SNDK $MU [$XINTC Nothing big today, but I actually think it's worth keeping an eye on.]
Friends of the planet, let me briefly share the $XINTC I saw.
This thing has been moving quite steadily today, current price 89.84, only moving +0.40% in 24 hours. The amplitude is also small, with a high of 90.75 and a low of 89.1, covering only 1.84%, mostly fluctuating in the middle range. The trading volume was 319.57K USDT, which isn't large, but some people are still doing it.
Here's how I see it: during these small sideways fluctuations, it's actually a good window to observe the intentions of the capital. Don't rush to chase; let's see if it can hold the 89 position. If the volume surges and breaks through the 90.75 high, it could open up space.
One more reminder: this is an equititus/ETF token, not a direct holding of the original shares, but just an on-chain expression of price exposure. You should understand it as "a kind of tokenized exposure that follows the rhythm of US stocks." Don't get confused.
The data is just like this: a slight 24-hour increase, price stuck in the middle of the range, volume not picking up, but no obvious selling pressure. In this state, the direction is often chosen in the following days.
My plan is simple: keep observing, don't chase highs, and if it can hold steady near 89.1, then consider what comes next.
Do you think $XINTC is just moving sideways to build up momentum or lacking momentum in the upward move? Let's chat in the comments.

Risk warning: The above is only personal observation and sharing and does not constitute investment advice. Digital asset prices fluctuate greatly, so please make cautious decisions.Liquidity fragmentation across L2s is the problem nobody wants to admit is getting worse, not better. We were promised cheaper, faster Ethereum, and instead we got a dozen isolated islands all competing for the same shrinking pool of capital.
$ARB, $OP, $BASE, $ZK, STRK, $BLAST, $MANTA, $LINEA, $SCROLL, and $MODE all fight over TVL that used to just sit on mainnet. Bridging between them adds friction, fees, and trust assumptions most users don’t even think about until something breaks.
Sequencer centralization is the quiet part. Most of these chains still run a single sequencer controlled by the founding team. $OP and $ARB have shared sequencing roadmaps, sure, but “roadmap” has become crypto’s favorite word for “not yet.”
Meanwhile shared liquidity layers try to patch the problem. $STG, HOP, $SYN, and cross-chain messaging plays like $ZRO and $LAYER all exist specifically because fragmentation broke the user experience nobody asked for. If the L2 thesis actually worked cleanly, these wouldn’t need to exist.
Compare that to chains that never fragmented in the first place. $SOL, $SUI, and $APT run single execution environments with native liquidity, no bridging tax, no sequencer trust games. That’s part of why capital keeps rotating back toward monolithic designs when L2 unlock pressure hits.
Before aping into “the next L2,” check where its liquidity actually lives and how it gets there. Fragmented liquidity means fragmented conviction, and fragmented conviction dumps fast.
#Layer2 #EthereumScaling #CryptoInfra#Liquidity A clearer version:
Tether just made gold impossible to ignore.
Tether's Q2 report showed around $1.5B in operating profit, while its gold reserves have grown to more than 146 tons. That reinforces a broader trend: during periods of uncertainty, large financial players continue allocating capital to tangible reserve assets.
For $XAU, this strengthens the long-term bullish narrative. Institutions and corporations are still accumulating physical gold even as digital assets gain wider adoption. Rather than competing with $BTC, gold is increasingly being viewed as a complementary reserve asset.
With ongoing geopolitical tensions, central bank buying, and macroeconomic uncertainty, gold continues to stand out as one of the market's preferred safe havens.
Gold is no longer seen only as a defensive asset—it's becoming a strategic component of balance sheets across both traditional finance and parts of the digital asset ecosystem.
Whether this signals the beginning of the next major safe-haven rally remains to be seen, but Tether's growing exposure certainly adds another bullish data point for gold.
$XAU $XAUT #DailyOrbit #TetherQ2ProfitGold #Gold #Bitcoin #SafeHaven #Crypto #MacroBTC 62,793, ETH 1,846, the market was stagnant. But the Reuters news is interesting—Iran-linked exchanges transferred 676 million dollars to Binance, claiming it was to circumvent sanctions. In the comments, someone shouted "The crypto world knows no borders," to hell with it.
I went through the entire 676 million from start to finish. That exchange in Iran was sanctioned by OFAC in 2022, with wallet addresses listed on the sanctions list. This money starts from the sanctioned address, goes through a bunch of intermediaries, and finally ends up in Binance's hot wallet. I reviewed the technical report from the on-chain tracking company—the timeline, amount, and path all match. This isn't speculation—it's blockchain accounting and memorization.
"The crypto world knows no borders" is the biggest lie I've ever heard. Here are the numbers: On the day the 676 million arrived at Binance, the Iranian rial black market exchange rate jumped 4%. Can you say sanctions are useless? Iranians exchange Nariyal for Tether and then for US dollars, with each layer depleting real money. When the Iran nuclear deal was signed, the foreign exchange inflows from rising oil prices could suppress the exchange rate, but blockchain didn't have that capability.
As for the idea that "blockchain is transparent, so there's no money laundering," I'll show you the data I just mentioned. The 676 million dollar split into 143 transfers, each with a maximum of 7 million yuan, stuck below the compliance threshold. Look at the chain—every transaction is clearly visible, but when it comes to all, it's 676 million. Transparency is a mirror, not a door lock. You see money moving away, but you can't stop it; all Binance can do is freeze it afterward.
Now BTC is back around 62,000, and this money has little impact on the market; everything is being handled in compliance. But next time someone tells you "blockchain can't handle sanctions," you should throw that number in their face. 676 million, as of October 2024, verifiable on-chain.Crowding and Crowding List
The biggest fear of crowding is continued cost increases and stagnant prices; price misalignment is more important than absolute rates.
$CAP Current rate +0.0258%, closed in the past 24 hours +0.035%, at the 100th percentile of the most recent sample. The decline is accompanied by a drop in OI, mainly characterized by the exit of old positions rather than new positions continuing to suppress prices. The reduction in positions has already occurred; the next step is to see if the price can stabilize after the position contraction.
$SOL Current rate -0.0085%, closed in the past 24 hours +0.018%, at the 0th percentile of the most recent sample. The 15-minute rise comes with exit from the position; whether it can take over after the rebound remains to be seen. The crowding indicator remains, but risk exposure is decreasing, so let's deleverage this section for now.
$GIGGLE Current rate +0.0050%, with a 24-hour settlement of -0.048%, at the 100th percentile of the most recent sample. Increasing positions after a 15-minute drop indicates that new positions were added during this period of pressure. High positive rates combined with falling positions increase positions, and bulls are under price pressure, but it cannot yet be labeled as centralized liquidation.I'd rate this market brief 7.5/10.
What it does well ✅
It gives a quick snapshot of technology and semiconductor-related assets.
It correctly highlights that AI and semiconductor stocks have been important market themes.
It recognizes that institutional investors often focus on long-term growth sectors rather than reacting to every short-term fluctuation.
Where it falls short ⚠️
The conclusion that "institutional capital is still favoring the technology sector" isn't fully supported by the limited price changes shown. Most moves are within about ±1%, which is normal daily volatility.
It doesn't explain why each asset moved (earnings, guidance, macro news, analyst upgrades, etc.).
The claim that the correlation between AI stocks and crypto is strengthening can be true during certain periods, but correlations change over time and should be supported with data rather than assumed.
Missing context
A stronger market brief would include:
Major macro drivers (Fed, bond yields, inflation).
Trading volume and breadth.
ETF inflows/outflows.
Whether the gains are broad-based or concentrated in a few mega-cap companies.
Overall assessment
The post is a useful morning market summary, but its conclusions are stronger than the evidence presented. The price data alone doesn't prove sustained institutional buying or an increasing stock–crypto correlation.
Overall score: 7.5/10
Readability: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (9/10)
Market insight: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (8/10)
Evidence: ⭐⭐⭐☆☆ (7/10)
Practical value: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (8/10)
The takeaway is reasonable: technology and AI remain key themes, but investors should confirm broader market trends with additional data before concluding that institutional capital is decisively rotating into the sector.Rating: 9/10 ⭐
This is a balanced analysis that separates headline hype from the actual earnings story.
Strengths:
Clarifies that Microsoft's capex wasn't truly cut—it's largely an accounting change.
Identifies the real catalyst: $90B revenue beat vs. $87.62B expected.
Emphasizes waiting for price and volume confirmation instead of chasing the rally.
Limitation: The support/resistance levels (420 and 405) are useful for short-term traders but should be confirmed with broader market conditions and trading volume.
Key takeaway: Strong earnings—not lower capex—drove the rally. Let price action confirm the trend before making trading decisions.#30年期美债收益率创19年新高
The 30-year U.S. Treasury yield surged to 5.27%, and this time, the bond market seems to be sounding the alarm for the fraught risk assets.
Seeing the June PCE turn negative month-on-month, one might think inflation has started to cool down, and the Fed is likely to shift to easing going forward. But the market has never been trading today's data, but future risks.
The biggest variable right now is oil prices.
If inflation is a fire, then the oil price $CL is a barrel of gasoline. July crude oil $BZ rose about 20% in a single month, and uncertainty in the US-Iran situation has made the market worry that energy prices will reignite inflation. If oil prices continue to rise, the "fruits of victory" brought by earlier PCE cooling may soon be swallowed back.
More importantly, the signals from the Federal Reserve's July meeting were far from easy.
Three officials voted in favor of rate hikes, marking a rare widening of divisions in recent years. The market is beginning to reconsider: is September the starting point for rate cuts, or a renewed rate hike following a failed policy shift?
My assessment is that short-term pressure on the bond market has not yet been fully released.
The 30-year Treasury yield has broken through its multi-year range, like a spring pushed to its limit; once it breaks through a key level, the market will seek a new equilibrium. The 5.3% area is not a simple number, but a psychological defense.
If yields remain above 5.3%, it means the market is repricing the "high interest rate era may last longer," which will put pressure on US stocks, especially in the highly valued AI sector.
Because the underlying logic of stock valuation is essentially a race against risk-free returns. As 30-year Treasury yields keep rising, why do investors still bear the risk of tech stocks valuing dozens or even hundreds of times?
Of course, I also don't believe long-term yields will rise indefinitely.
Currently, economic contradictions remain. On one hand, strong domestic demand in the second quarter pushes up inflation expectations; On the other hand, PCE has already shown signs of cooling, and future pressures for businesses and consumers are accumulating.
So the market is currently in a phase of a "real vs. false inflation" contest.
And the biggest risk in August isn't a sudden economic crash, but the market repricing the interest rate path. If the US-Iran conflict escalates and oil prices continue to surge and expectations for a Fed rate cut in September are further reduced, US Treasury yields may continue to challenge highs, putting pressure on both US stocks and crypto markets.
For $BTC, in the short term, it may continue to demonstrate digital gold attributes and attract capital attention during US market corrections. But if liquidity continues to tighten and risk assets are fully deleveraged, Bitcoin will find it difficult to remain completely unaffected.
So next, focus on three key signals
First, can the 30-year U.S. Treasury yield break through and hold above 5.3%; Second, whether oil prices will continue to rise, creating new inflationary pressures; Third, whether the Fed's policy outlook for September will continue to turn hawkish.
My judgment is that short-term risks remain high, and August may see a valuation stress test. BTC still has short-term potential to break above $70,000, but the structure of the long-term bear market remains unchanged. The true bottom opportunity may still require liquidity to shift again.
The above is just my personal opinion and does not constitute any investment advice! While BTC is bullish, the derivatives market is sending warning signals. Can the movement of prices rising despite open interest dying be read as an uptrend? The key fact confirmed in the original text is that despite the price increase of GRVT, trading volume remains stagnant and open interest (OI) shows no signs of vitality. This suggests a structure where prices are being pulled up solely by spot buying without the inflow of new capital. The market needs to prioritize risk management over directional bets in this phase. The message from GRVT's movement is simple: even if prices rise, if the derivatives market does not follow, it is difficult for the trend to continue. Stagnant OI means there are no new players taking leveraged positions, indicating a lack of new bets rather than liquidation of existing positions. If the price increase stems from supply-demand imbalance rather than actual demand, the risk of a pullback grows. In a situation where BTC acts as a liquidity anchor, ETH and SOL are diverging into institutional demand and high-volatility leverage instruments, respectively.Staking yields might be the biggest illusion in crypto right now.
Everyone sees a 15%, 20%, or even 50% APY and thinks they're earning passive income. Few ask the only question that matters:
Where does the yield come from?
If the protocol is paying rewards from trading fees, lending revenue, or real economic activity, that's yield.
If it's paying you by minting more tokens, that's not yield—it's dilution with better marketing.
We've seen this play out repeatedly. High emissions attract capital, APYs look incredible, and then the growing token supply crushes price. Holders collect rewards while their purchasing power quietly disappears.
The market is finally separating real yield from inflationary yield.
Protocols generating actual cash flow have a stronger foundation because rewards come from usage, not token printing. Meanwhile, many staking and restaking models still rely heavily on emissions, creating the illusion of returns while expanding supply.
The same principle applies across L1s, DeFi, AI, and DePIN:
A 20% APY means nothing if dilution is 25%.
Before entering any yield strategy, ask:
• Is the yield funded by fees or emissions?
• Is protocol revenue growing?
• How fast is token supply expanding?
• Would the yield still exist without token incentives?
The next cycle won't reward the highest APY.
It will reward the most sustainable one.
If the yield comes from printing tokens, you're not earning more value—you're getting paid with your own future dilution.

Old Gao glanced at the 30-year US Treasury yield, 5.27%. The last time this number was seen was in 2007. After 19 years, the bond market is telling the whole world with a big bullish candle — the market no longer believes the Federal Reserve can easily control inflation.
Today's market: BTC is hovering around 62,819. EMA5 (62,795), EMA10 (62,744), and EMA20 (62,725) are all stuck together, with the price barely standing above them. But all three lines are flat — this is not support, this is hanging in the air.
The 24-hour high is 63,125, the low is 62,227. The intraday range is less than 900 points, with low volume. A trading volume of 29,500 BTC and a turnover of 1.855 billion USDT indicate that big money is watching the show. Retail investors are positioning, institutions are observing; whoever moves first dies first.
What is happening on the macro front?
The FOMC just maintained rates unchanged with a 9:3 vote. This is the fifth consecutive pause since 2026, but with three dissenting votes — the most since 2016. Three regional Fed presidents simultaneously advocated a 25 basis point hike. Cleveland Fed President Mester said bluntly: "The longer high inflation persists, the harder and costlier it will be to bring inflation back to target." Kashkari called rate hikes "risk management," and Logan believes current policy is not restrictive enough.
On the other hand, in Q2, US private domestic final sales rose 3.9% annualized quarter-over-quarter, the fastest growth since Q1 2023. Consumption rebounded sharply from 0.5% in Q1 to 3.2%. Oil prices rose about 20% in July alone. These three forces are simultaneously pushing inflation expectations — Fed internal division, strong domestic demand, and soaring oil prices.
Market pricing has caught up: the probability of a rate hike in September exceeds 57%, with some institutions predicting 1 to 2 more hikes this year.
The strange thing is, June PCE month-over-month just recorded its first negative reading since 2020. Inflation cooling and long-term highs are appearing simultaneously. The bond market chooses to believe the direction of oil prices and domestic demand, not the PCE.
Old Gao's conclusion:
The 5.3% level is either a top or a new starting point, determining the valuation anchor for risk assets in August.
If yields continue to rise, BTC will most likely test the previous low at 62,200. If it can't hold, then 60,000-61,000. If it tops and falls back at this level — risk assets will get a breather.
In the short term, the EMA moving averages are all flat, with no trend direction. The resistance zone is 63,100-63,300 above, and 62,200 is the lifeline below. Watch more and trade less within the range; follow the breakout side. Short sellers should set stop losses above 63,200, longs below 62,000. Don't be greedy, don't hold on.
Finally, a bit of insight:
Old Gao has been in this market for so many years, and the deepest lesson is one sentence — don't argue with the market.
You think the 5.27% 30-year US Treasury yield is unreasonable? You think inflation should cool down? You think BTC should rise? The market doesn't care what you think. The market only cares about one thing: where the money flows.
When the world's safest asset starts offering over 5% risk-free returns, some funds will definitely flow back from risk assets to bonds. This is not a matter of belief, it's a math problem. A 5% risk-free return means the valuation anchor for risk assets shifts downward overall.
But Old Gao also wants to say another thing — every climax of a macro narrative is the starting point for contrarian positioning. When everyone is discussing how detrimental a 5.3% US Treasury yield is to risk assets, it is often not far from an extreme in sentiment.
If rates continue to rise and start to choke economic growth, the logic of US dollar credit deterioration will ultimately strengthen demand for non-sovereign assets. This logic chain is long but the direction is clear.
Respect the market in the short term, believe in logic in the long term. Position management is more important than directional judgment. Stay alive to wait for the day the trend reverses.
Old Gao is done. Ponder it carefully.
