Brothers, NVIDIA just dropped $3.5 billion on MediaTek, that's a big move. The narrative of AI chips spreading from the cloud to PCs and cars is officially taking shape, and MediaTek's stock hit the daily limit. #英伟达向联发科投资35亿美元
But on the crypto side, the three brothers only rose a little, almost no reaction. It's good news, but it can't drive the market. There are also reports of institutions buying $BTC and $ETH, Besant is calling for relaxed credit, but Wash's hawkish remarks and the US-Iran conflict are keeping the market tightly suppressed. #美伊再交火、油轮遇阻，布油重返90美元
$BTC has been sideways at a high level for so long, no volume, no narrative, direction unclear. $OKB is holding up on the deflation narrative, relatively resilient among altcoins, but it can't take off if the overall market doesn't turn. $ZEC is independently strengthening, with Grayscale ETF and halving expectations leading the charge, but it has nearly quadrupled, so chasing the high risk is big; better wait for a pullback.
On one side institutions are buying, on the other macro is suppressing; now it's a matter of who lets go first. $BTC, $OKB, and $ZEC are three assets in three different states—BTC is waiting for direction, OKB is holding on, ZEC is going its own way. Let's wait for CPI and non-farm payroll data; before direction is clear, staying put is better than making a mess.👊 #交易之声：你的经验值得被听到

Direction changed hands three times, nearly perfectly balanced at the close — the dog trader completed a day of alternating long and short positions to harvest volatility on BCH
Time Total Liquidation Long Liquidation Short Liquidation
1 hour $897.41 $897.41 $0
4 hours $8,968.37 $6,578.70 $2,389.67

24 hours $108,600 $54,200 $54,400
From BCH liquidation data, shorts monopolized all liquidations in 1 hour, starting with extreme crushing but volume under a thousand dollars; in 4 hours, longs violently reversed with 2.75 times the volume, rising to nearly $9,000; in 12 hours, long advantage narrowed to 1.36 times, volume rose to $93,400; in 24 hours, direction reversed again — shorts closed almost perfectly balanced at 1.004 times, short liquidation $54,400 vs. long $54,200, total liquidation $108,600. Long multiples went from extreme crushing → 2.75x → 1.36x → short 1.004x, showing an inverted V shape crossing equilibrium, with direction changing hands three times. 12-hour liquidation accounts for 86% of 24-hour total, highly concentrated, with almost no increase at the close. Leverage is recommended to be compressed to within 3x; when direction is unclear, watch more and trade less.
🔥 Market Wind Vane | September 1
Today's three hot topics point to the same theme: Wash's hawkish tone is about to face the ultimate test from employment data; Bitcoin and gold deeply linked under "fiat credit revaluation"; Broadcom and Dell's earnings will successively verify the sustainability of AI hardware returns.
📊 Nonfarm Friday Debut: Can Wash's "hawk" withstand the "blade" of data?
At 20:30 Beijing time on September 4, the US August nonfarm payroll report will be released. Reuters survey expects an increase of 58,000 jobs, unemployment rate steady at 4.1%; Wells Fargo expects an increase of 80,000. July nonfarm unexpectedly decreased by 23,000, the worst this year.
Just last week, Fed Chair Wash delivered his first keynote speech since taking office at Jackson Hole, mentioning "inflation" 25 times, reaffirming the 2% inflation target as "firm and fixed," stating that if core inflation does not "clearly and quickly" fall, the Fed "still has work to do." CME data shows September rate hike probability surged from about 35% before the speech to 60%. If this week's data weakens again, the 60% rate hike expectation may quickly collapse.
₿ BTC High Volatility: Gold Linkage Continues to Strengthen, $7 Billion Flows into ETFs
Bitcoin rose 28% in August, once breaking $81,000, but fell under pressure after Wash's hawkish speech, currently oscillating between $78,000-$79,000.
The core logic driving the previous synchronous strength is "fiat credit revaluation" — in the past five trading days, gold and Bitcoin ETFs attracted a record $7 billion inflow. Among them, SPDR Gold ETF net inflow nearly $3.4 billion, BlackRock Bitcoin ETF net inflow $1.5 billion. Investors no longer choose between gold and Bitcoin but buy both "non-government credit assets" simultaneously. However, rate hike expectations rose after Wash's speech, suppressing both assets in the short term.
🖥️ Broadcom and Dell Take Over: AI Hardware Returns Face New Test
Following Nvidia's explosive $96.2 billion revenue report, the AI hardware sector faces a new round of tests this week.
Broadcom will release Q3 earnings after market close on September 2. Market expects revenue around $29.4 billion, up 84% year-on-year; AI semiconductor revenue target $16 billion, up over 200%, accounting for more than half of total revenue. The company has repeatedly reaffirmed the AI semiconductor revenue target of $56 billion for fiscal 2026 and over $100 billion for fiscal 2027.
Dell will release Q2 earnings after market close on September 1. The company built $16.1 billion AI servers in Q1; management guides Q2 infrastructure segment growth of about 75%, with AI server revenue about $15.5 billion. But profit margin pressure is notable — infrastructure segment operating margin dropped from 14.8% to 10.5%.
💎 Summary
Three things outline the same picture: this Friday's nonfarm will test Wash's hawkish "still has work to do" stance — if employment weakens again, the 60% rate hike expectation may quickly collapse; Bitcoin and gold deeply linked under "fiat credit revaluation," with a record $7 billion ETF inflow; Broadcom and Dell's earnings will successively verify AI hardware return sustainability, with profit margin pressure becoming a new focus.
As employment data, macro narratives, and AI earnings converge in the same week — the market awaits the final answer on September 4. #就业数据密集公布，沃什政策立场受检验

#财报观察员：博通与戴尔接棒，AI回报再受检验 Friday's Nonfarm Payrolls, the last card to decide the September rate hike
If the data exceeds expectations, bears may act at any time; if the data falls short, bulls will be activated. Are you positioning for short or long in advance???
The probability of negative news is somewhat higher, about 60-70%.
At 8:30 PM Friday (Beijing time), the US August Nonfarm Payroll data will be released, with an expected increase of 58,000 jobs, unemployment rate steady at 4.1%, and average hourly earnings up 0.3% month-over-month.
If negative (high probability):
New jobs exceed 58,000 by a large margin, for example over 100,000, and wage growth also beats expectations. The market will think "the economy is still this hot, the Fed rate hike is justified," and the probability of a September rate hike may soar from the current 65%, with BTC very likely to retrace to 76,000 or even lower.
If positive (low probability):
New jobs fall significantly below expectations (e.g., below 30,000), unemployment rate spikes. Rate hike expectations cool down, the dollar weakens, and BTC may violently rebound.
Why is the probability of negative news higher?
July's Nonfarm was negative (-23,000), a very low base. The market expects a rebound from "negative" to "positive," so a large drop below 58,000 is actually unlikely. Also, Wash just turned hawkish; as long as the data isn't particularly bad, rate hike expectations are hard to cool down.
Wait for the data to land before acting. Betting on the data direction is less effective than betting on the response after the data is out. #就业数据密集公布，沃什政策立场受检验 #财报观察员：博通与戴尔接棒，AI回报再受检验 Strategy announced the latest position changes, purchasing approximately $370 million to acquire 4,603 bitcoins, while increasing cash by $29 million and repurchasing $152 million of its own securities. As of August 30, the company holds a total of 845,050 native bitcoins, with total USD assets amounting to $6.71 billion, maintaining a solid net leverage ratio of 0.0%.
The core intent of this operation is to enhance STRC's asset defense capability. Currently, USD reserves stand at $5.1 billion, cash at $1.61 billion, and the USD duration has been extended to 4.0 years, an increase of 23 days from before. More notably, STRC's bitcoin credit spread has narrowed to 56 basis points, down 3 basis points from the previous period, indicating a slight recovery in market confidence in its collateral quality.
It should be noted that this spread is based on three key assumptions: a bitcoin annualized return of 10%, volatility of 40%, and a price of $77,558. If actual market trends deviate from these parameters, the spread may be subject to adjustment. Overall, Strategy is building a thicker capital buffer by increasing core asset holdings and repurchasing its own securities, but bitcoin price volatility remains the main variable affecting the stability of its balance sheet.
Risk warning: Digital asset prices are highly volatile; the above content is for reference only and does not constitute investment advice. $BTC $STRCHYPE unlock did not crash through, ZEC benefits followed by turnover, BTC first looks at capital inflow
$HYPE After the large-scale unlock of tens of millions of tokens landed without directly crashing through, it shows the market's support is indeed stronger than expected, and the AQAv2 buyback also provided a bottom. Now, there's no need to be too concerned about the unlock itself; I am more focused on how the trading volume behaves after the new supply comes out; a volume contraction with a pullback that someone catches can still be seen as strong, but a volume increase with a decline indicates that selling pressure is truly starting to release.
$ZEC After ZCSH went live, it has moved from purely speculating on expectations to the realization phase. It surged to an eight-year high in one go, so high-level consolidation is very normal. The logic of the privacy track and compliant capital inflow still holds, but after such a rise, the biggest taboo is chasing the sentiment. The question is whether ETF funds can continue to flow in.
$BTC The start of September is still stuck around 78,000, but the spot ETF turned back to net inflows on Monday, indicating institutional buying has not completely died out. The problem is that August already saw a 24% rise, combined with interest rate expectations turning hawkish again, so I am still watching the 76,000 support and the quality of breaking through 80,000.
$SOL rose too fast earlier; today profit-taking and derivatives risk-off are pressing it down together, but ETF long-term funds remain; $NVDA Nvidia's earnings and AI demand are solid, but after the US Treasury yields surged, high valuations continue to be pressured; $XAU fell to a two-week low today, with triple pressure from the dollar, yields, and rate hike expectations. Short term, wait for stabilization first; the mid-term gold buying logic is still intact.
#BTC高位震荡，与黄金联动增强
#英伟达向联发科投资35亿美元 The whales aren't sleeping, but their actions are much more honest than candlesticks. Have you ever thought that the movement of on-chain wallets actually tells you where the money is going before any news releases? Last night, when I checked on-chain records, I found several interesting large transfers within 24 hours, all related to OKX. These were not small-scale rebalances, but actions with clear stance. Let's start with SOL. A whale took 108,158 SOL from OKX at once, worth $16.2 million, and immediately put them to stake. This move is worth pondering—staking means locked positions, and hedging means not planning to sell in the short term. SOL already has fundamental positive support, so with chips of this level being pulled out, selling pressure on the market naturally eases again. As prices rise, the fuel needed is even less. Then there's BTC. Another whale withdrew 618 BTC from OKX, worth about $38 million, bringing his total holdings to 2,341 BTC, totaling $144 million. The whole process was just outbound and no inbound; this one-way withdrawal behavior is basically synonymous with the phrase "I'm accumulating funds" in on-chain language. Bitcoin is continuously being moved off exchanges at this level, with circulating float getting thinner and thinner, which is a positive signal for the price. But ETH's situation is quite different. Some whales transferred 28,495 ETH to OKX, worth about $118 million. Large transfers to exchanges usually have only two possibilities: either preparing to sell or planning to switch platforms. Either wayThe crypto market was generally weak in the evening, with volatility continuing to narrow and weak capital direction, so traders generally remained cautious. $BTC Maintained range-bound sideways trading, with technical MACD divergence signals appearing but no volume breaking previous highs. This is more suitable as a form of accumulation rather than a reversal indicator. It is worth noting that the US spot Bitcoin ETF recorded a net inflow of $216.7 million in a single day, with BlackRock contributing the vast majority and reversing the previous day's outflows. However, the single-day data is insufficient to confirm the trend reversal, so sustainability remains to be seen. $ETH Weaker than BTC, following the broader market fluctuations and lacking incremental capital catalysts, independent rallies are unlikely in the short term; new news stimuli are needed. Meme coins like Dogecoin and TrumpCoin are much more volatile than mainstream assets and heavily dependent on public opinion and hot sentiment. When the market is stable, pulses can surge; if the market weakens, the pullback is deeper, so blindly chasing higher prices is not advisable. $SPCX Following the Nasdaq adjustment, buying is still acceptable. Currently, most entries are front-runner gambling, while passive index funds will wait until 9.18 to trigger unloading moves. Based on historical market conditions, early rallies may be used to unlock and release positions. Before the 9.10-9.18 window, blind short selling is not advisable, but caution is needed to be cautious of selling risks that may materialize positive news. At the macro level, continue to closely monitor employment data, the linkage between Bitcoin and gold, and AI giant earnings reports, as these variables will directly affect market risk appetite. Risk warning: Market volatility is uncertain; the above content is not includedCharles Schwab's financial plan adds SOL, AVAX, and LINK to the platform. On the surface, this is a single-asset positive, but behind it reflects a rare cognitive dissonance among market participants. Institutions are continuously absorbing chips through the ETF channel, while many retail investors remain shackled by memories of LUNA's collapse to zero, the FTX crash, and past extreme market conditions. They fear chasing highs and dread deep traps, naturally leading to conservative actions. This hesitation is not due to a lack of desire but is a form of self-protection formed after repeated volatility.
Institutions' logic leans more toward long-term allocation, viewing crypto as digital gold or a high-beta alternative asset, exchanging time for an advantage in major asset rotation. However, institutions are not selfless; after concentrated accumulation raises prices, they may also exit en masse, leaving volatility to later participants. Therefore, BTC around eighty thousand dollars can no longer be considered low risk.
Currently, it looks more like a mid-term recovery phase of institutional capital inflow, but the cost-performance ratio is not as good as last year. Opportunities remain, but it is more suitable to control positions, buy in batches, and advance steadily, without going all in out of fear of missing out. The real winning strategy is not betting on a single surge but seeing the trend clearly and waiting for the wind with discipline. First seek to avoid losses, then talk about gains.
Risk warning: The market is highly volatile; views are for reference only. Please make decisions cautiously. $BTC $SOL $AVAX $LINKNear the $80,000 mark, the crypto market saw a noteworthy institutional-level move. On-chain data shows that a strategic platform resumed its Bitcoin accumulation pace, making a one-time purchase of 4,603 BTC at an average price of $80,318, pushing its total holdings up to 845,050 BTC. Meanwhile, the platform maintains a zero-leverage position and holds over $6.7 billion in cash reserves.💡
The highlight of this data is not the scale of the single purchase, but the cautious stance behind the operation. Zero leverage combined with substantial cash reserves indicates this is not a reckless all-in gamble, but a gradual allocation with a safety cushion. Thus, $80,318 becomes a meaningful institutional cost anchor; if prices later fall back near this range, market sentiment could experience subtle new shifts.
What’s even more intriguing is the rhythm itself: the platform had previously paused accumulation and now has restarted. This ebb and flow often signals a clearer judgment on the mid-term direction. Large funds acting near $80,000 doesn’t necessarily mean the bottom has been reached, but at least suggests some institutions find the current price level attractive. For ordinary investors, rather than chasing short-term fluctuations, it’s better to treat this cost line as a coordinate for observing market sentiment.📊
Risk reminder: Institutional holding costs do not constitute price support. Market volatility is uncertain; please make independent judgments and decisions with caution. $BTCBitcoin led the way in breaking through the consolidation range, with short positions being heavily liquidated, and passive buying subsequently driving the entire market higher. The whole process was not triggered by any major news catalyst; it was purely a chain reaction caused by price action. ETH then took over the upward momentum, while SOL amplified gains with higher leverage and elasticity, forming a clear transmission chain of BTC breaking down, ETH following, and SOL strengthening.
Notably, some traders heavily shorted ETH around $2462, admitting they were crushed by the market's reversal. In such a one-sided market, contrarian positions often face double pressure: margin calls and difficulty exiting rationally amid emotional volatility. From the perspective of flow, capital clearly prefers high-beta assets, with SOL's elasticity making it the preferred vehicle for leveraged funds, but this also means volatility is equally intense during pullbacks.
The current market structure is still dominated by derivatives, with price sensitivity to liquidation levels exceeding fundamentals. If there is no sustained buying support later, the risk of a pullback after a rapid rise cannot be ignored. Risk warning: Cryptocurrency prices are highly volatile, and leveraged trading may result in significant losses. Please carefully assess your own risk tolerance. $BTC $ETH $SOLSOL's bullish logic is shifting from narrative to a more quantifiable financial structure, with market attention focused on three levels. On the fundamental side, Solana has long carried about 25% to 35% of the network's spot DEX trading volume and maintains millions of daily active addresses, providing a solid liquidity foundation for deep order books and aggregators. The real marginal change comes from the supply side. If the proposal is implemented, the annual inflation decay rate will rise from 15% to 30%, decouple signing fees from computing unit fees, and charge resource fees for high-frequency and arbitrage activities, with full burning. Daily burn volume is expected to jump from 600–800 SOL to 7,500–9,000 SOL, with real net issuance rapidly narrowing, and network peaks may even shift to deflation. On the demand side, structural migration is also occurring. Mainstream asset management institutions are promoting spot products, placing SOL within the compliant basket of traditional hedge funds and sovereign assets; Compared to Ethereum's roughly 3% staking yield, SOL is more attractive. If staking yields are incorporated into the compliant fund structure, long-term lock-up will further reduce selling pressure. Payment giants' deep integration of stablecoin liquidation, combined with Token Extensions functionality, gives them a first-mover advantage in tokenized U.S. Treasury and other RWA tracks. The logic is clear, but the pace of proposal advancement, execution details of burn mechanisms, and macro liquidity remain key variables, with prices highly dependent on the degree of expected fulfillment.

$BTC this week is not an ordinary data week; it's a four-report battle—ADP tests the waters first, JOLTS reveals employers' cards, initial claims measure real-time temperature, and finally, the nonfarm payrolls deliver the decisive blow. These four reports combined directly determine how the September policy statement will be written.
Wash's remarks at Jackson Hole have long closed off any ambiguity: inflation is still alarmingly far from 2%, financial conditions are as loose as if seat belts were unfastened, and the labor market shows no sign of loosening. His exact words "clear and sufficiently rapid decline" set a hard threshold—monthly core PCE must fall three consecutive times before considering the end of tightening. Now, the probability of a rate hike has risen from 35% to 65%, short-term interest rates have jumped, and the market has already loaded the gun, just waiting for the data to pull the trigger. $ETH
$BTC is fluctuating around 77,600, with 80,000 flipping from support to resistance. If data is strong, rate hikes are confirmed, risk assets continue deleveraging, and the next BTC support is seen at 74,000; if data is weak, rate cut expectations reignite, and 80,000 has a chance to be reclaimed. Don't bet before the data; adjust exposure after the readings come out. The big directional framework hasn't changed, but intraweek volatility will explode, so timing is more important than direction.
$BTC $ETH $SOL are all waiting for this referee to blow the whistle; before the whistle blows, keep your hands steady.The narrative of the Bitcoin ecosystem is undergoing cooling and restructuring. Data shows that in Q1 2026, the total locked amount in this sector will retrace about 74% from the 2025 peak, and the previous "pseudo-explosion" has already been digested by the market. From a cyclical perspective, a true scale leap is unlikely to occur for the rest of the year, but is more likely to occur between the second half of 2027 and 2029, that is, the mid-to-late stage of the next bull market. In the next six months to a year, the industry is likely to be in a period of recovery and wait-and-see measures. Although there are positive signals on the regulatory side—for example, the CLARITY Act passed in the House of Representatives, and the SEC and CFTC have issued guidance on Bitcoin's commodity attributes—none of these are final statutes, with about a 50% chance of implementation. The pace of compliant funds entering is cautious; institutions usually need two to three consecutive quarters of auditable revenue to see volume increase, which makes explosive market growth difficult. The real acceleration window is expected to open in the second half of 2027. If OP_CAT and other soft forks are activated on the mainnet, they will unlock native programmability, providing a foundation for upgrades for projects like Stacks and Citrea. Combined with Babylon's mature multi-staking mechanism and two years of accumulated data from the Core revenue buyback model, institutional staking scale is expected to jump from several billion dollars to tens of billions. If Bitcoin enters the main post-halving phase at that time, the total locked amount in the sector will rise from about 5.6 billion USD to 20 to 30 billion USD, which is a neutral expectation. It is worth noting that token price performance usually lags behind protocol total locked growth by one to two quarters, and is subject to unlocking and withdrawalRUSSIA ISN’T JUST REGULATING CRYPTO. IT’S BUILDING RAILS FOR IT.
The most interesting part of Russia’s new crypto framework isn't the headline that BTC, ETH and USDT can be traded through regulated channels.
It's the direction of travel.
As of September 1, Russia's new framework places crypto trading and custody under a formal regulatory structure, with Bitcoin, Ethereum and USDT among the assets available to retail investors through regulated intermediaries.
That changes the conversation.
For years, crypto adoption was mostly driven by exchanges, startups and retail users.
Now the infrastructure is moving closer to traditional finance.
Regulated platforms.
Bank involvement.
Custody.
Potential crypto-backed lending.
And eventually, potentially deeper connections between digital assets and the banking system.
Sberbank has already said it plans to expand lending backed by BTC, ETH and USDT, although the ETH and USDT components remain dependent on regulatory approval.
That's a much bigger development than another exchange listing.
It suggests crypto is gradually becoming something that financial institutions can potentially use as collateral and financial infrastructure, not simply something customers speculate on.
There is also a major distinction that shouldn't be missed.
Russia has not simply made crypto a replacement for the ruble.
Domestic crypto payments for ordinary goods and services remain restricted, while the new framework primarily establishes regulated trading, custody and other permitted uses.
So the real story isn't:
“Russia is turning into a crypto economy overnight.”
The better interpretation is:
“Russia is bringing part of its existing crypto market into a regulated financial framework.”
And that could be significant.
Sberbank has estimated that regulated crypto trading volume could reach around 3.5–4 trillion rubles, roughly $46B, in the first year.
That's projected trading turnover, not $46B of fresh capital flowing directly into Bitcoin or Ethereum, but it shows how large the potential market could become Market pullback, UNI rallies over 10% against the trend, where is the money coming from?
BTC -1%, ETH -1.2%, UNI rallies over 10% against the trend, nearly 190 million USDT traded in 24h, triple support:
① Main buying force: At 14:00, the 1-hour K-line released a huge volume of 880,000 tokens (~5 million USDT), $5.37→$5.96, not retail sentiment.
② Robinhood Chain stocks on-chain: tokenized US stocks daily trading volume broke 130 million USD, nearly 10x monthly growth, largely routed through Uniswap. XHOOD +2.9%, XAAPL +3.3% in sync with UNI — value logic shifts from "concept speculation" to "earning real fees".
③ Standard Chartered publicly bullish on DeFi×TradFi integration, UNI named as an entry point for traditional funds.
Derivatives health: funding rate only +0.01%, not leverage-driven.
Technicals: resistance $5.96→$6.44; support $5.63/$5.37. Doubled since June low of $2.32, this narrative of "stocks on-chain + real cash flow" fundamentally differs from pure concept speculation.
Strong against the trend, worth watching closely. DYOR.
#UNI #DeFi #StockTokenization #Robinhood🇷🇺 RUSSIA IS MOVING CRYPTO CLOSER TO TRADITIONAL FINANCE
The biggest part of Russia's new crypto framework isn't simply that Bitcoin, Ethereum and USDT can now be traded through regulated channels.
The bigger story is infrastructure.
As of September 1, Russia's new framework brings crypto trading and custody into a formal regulatory structure under Bank of Russia supervision. BTC, ETH and USDT are among the assets initially available through regulated channels.
That creates something crypto has been building toward for years:
A clearer bridge between digital assets and traditional finance.
Think about the progression.
First, Bitcoin was treated primarily as a speculative asset.
Then came institutional custody.
Then ETFs.
Then corporate treasury adoption.
Now we're seeing major financial institutions prepare regulated trading and even crypto-backed lending infrastructure.
Sberbank, Russia's largest bank, has said it plans to accept BTC, ETH and USDT as loan collateral, subject to regulatory approval for the relevant assets.
That's a very different narrative from simply “people are buying crypto.”
It suggests crypto is gradually becoming something financial institutions can hold, trade, custody and potentially use as collateral.
And that could be more important than any single day's price movement.
There is another interesting signal.
Sberbank has estimated that Russia's regulated crypto market could generate roughly 3.5–4 trillion rubles, around $46B, in trading volume during its first year.
That number should not be interpreted as $46B of fresh money flowing directly into BTC.
It's an estimate of potential regulated trading activity.
But it still shows how seriously traditional financial institutions are beginning to view the market.
And the initial asset selection is interesting too.
BTC → digital monetary asset
ETH → blockchain financial infrastructure
USDT → stablecoin liquidity
Those three assets cover very different parts of the crypto economy.
Russia isn't opening the door to every token at once. 📊 $XRP Contract Liquidation Express (September 1)
Long positions crashed violently from 11x leverage down to 2.5x, with short squeeze momentum completely exhausted; bears quietly crept back in near the close.
Time Total Liquidations Long Liquidations Short Liquidations
1 hour $124,200 $96,500 $27,700
4 hours $1,064,700 $977,700 $86,900

24 hours $3,826,200 $2,753,000 $1,073,100
From the XRP liquidation data, longs controlled the market with a 3.48x advantage in 1 hour, breaking $120,000 in volume; in 4 hours, the long advantage surged to a violent 11.25x, with volume exploding to $1.06 million—short squeeze peaked in the 4-hour window; in 12 hours, the long advantage sharply dropped to 5.16x, volume rose to $2.84 million, but momentum clearly slowed; in 24 hours, the long advantage continued to collapse to 2.57x at close, with long liquidations at $2.75 million versus shorts at $1.07 million, totaling over $3.82 million in liquidations. Long leverage ratios moved from 3.48x → 11.25x → 5.16x → 2.57x, showing an inverted V-shaped trajectory, with short squeeze momentum peaking then continuously fading. The 12-hour liquidations accounted for 74.3% of the 24-hour total, indicating a moderately high concentration. Leverage is recommended to be compressed to within 3x; when direction is unclear, watch more and trade less.
🔥 Market Barometer | September 1
Today's three hot topics point to the same theme: Wash's hawkish stance is about to face the ultimate test from employment data; Bitcoin and gold are deeply linked under the "fiat credit revaluation"; and Broadcom and Dell's earnings will successively verify the sustainability of AI hardware returns.
📊 Nonfarm Payrolls Friday Debut: Can Wash's "Hawk" Withstand the Data "Blade"?
At 20:30 Beijing time on September 4, the US August nonfarm payroll report will be released. Reuters surveys expect an increase of 58,000 jobs, with unemployment steady at 4.1%; Wells Fargo expects an 80,000 increase. July's nonfarm unexpectedly dropped by 23,000, the worst this year.
Last week, Fed Chair Wash delivered his first keynote speech since taking office at Jackson Hole, mentioning "inflation" 25 times, reaffirming the 2% inflation target as "firm and fixed," stating that if core inflation does not "clearly and quickly" decline, the Fed "still has work to do." CME data shows the probability of a September rate hike surged from about 35% before the speech to 60%. If this week's data weakens again, the 60% hike expectation could quickly collapse.

The core logic driving the prior synchronous strength is "fiat credit revaluation"—over the past five trading days, gold and Bitcoin ETFs attracted a record $7 billion inflow. SPDR Gold ETF net inflow was nearly $3.4 billion, BlackRock Bitcoin ETF net inflow $1.5 billion. Investors no longer choose between gold and Bitcoin but buy both "non-government credit assets" simultaneously. However, after Wash's speech, rising rate hike expectations have short-term suppressive effects on both assets.
🖥️ Broadcom and Dell Take Over: AI Hardware Returns Face New Tests
Following Nvidia's explosive $96.2 billion revenue report, the AI hardware sector faces a new round of tests this week.
Broadcom will release Q3 earnings after market close on September 2. Market expects revenue around $29.4 billion, up 84% year-over-year; AI semiconductor revenue target is $16 billion, up over 200%, accounting for more than half of total revenue. The company has repeatedly reaffirmed its AI semiconductor revenue target of $56 billion for fiscal 2026 and over $100 billion for fiscal 2027.
Dell will release Q2 earnings after market close on September 1. The company built $16.1 billion in AI servers in Q1; management guides Q2 infrastructure segment growth of about 75%, with AI server revenue around $15.5 billion. But margin pressure is notable—the infrastructure segment operating margin has dropped from 14.8% to 10.5%.
💎 Summary
Three events paint the same picture: This Friday's nonfarm payrolls will test Wash's "still has work to do" hawkishness—if employment weakens again, the 60% rate hike expectation could quickly collapse; Bitcoin and gold are deeply linked under "fiat credit revaluation," with a record $7 billion ETF inflow; Broadcom and Dell's earnings will successively verify the sustainability of AI hardware returns, with margin pressure becoming a new focus.
As employment data, macro narratives, and AI earnings converge in the same week—the market awaits the final answer on September 4. #就业数据密集公布，沃什政策立场受检验

#BTC高位震荡，与黄金联动增强 🇷🇺 $BTC $ETH $USDT RUSSIA JUST CHANGED THE ACCESS GAME
September 1 marks an important shift for crypto in Russia.
A new framework for digital currencies has officially taken effect, bringing crypto trading into a more clearly regulated structure under Russian financial rules. The framework provides for regulated intermediaries, including brokers, exchange operators and digital custodians.
But the bigger story isn't simply that Bitcoin, Ethereum and USDT can now be accessed through regulated channels.
It's what regulated access could mean for capital.
For years, one of the biggest barriers to institutional crypto adoption wasn't necessarily demand.
It was infrastructure.
Institutions need regulated venues.
They need custody.
They need compliance.
They need clear rules around execution and settlement.
A formal framework begins addressing those pieces.
And that's where this development becomes interesting.
Russia's framework allows residents to conduct crypto transactions through authorized market participants, while non-qualified investors face limits and testing requirements. Crypto is still not being turned into ordinary domestic payment money under the framework.
So this isn't simply:
“Russia legalized crypto.”
The more accurate narrative is:
Russia is building a regulated channel for crypto investment and trading.
That distinction matters.
And the potential market size is worth watching.
Sberbank has estimated that Russia's regulated crypto market could reach roughly 3.5–4 trillion rubles, or around $46B, in its first year. That's a projection, not guaranteed trading volume, but it shows how large traditional financial institutions believe the opportunity could become.
There's also a potentially bigger development forming around crypto-backed finance.
Sberbank has discussed plans to accept BTC, ETH and USDT as collateral for lending, subject to the necessary regulatory approvals.
That could eventually move the conversation beyond simple buying and selling.
Crypto could become part of a broader financial infrastructure: In the first week of September, the market focus shifts to U.S. employment data, but the real risk may not lie in the data itself, rather in its awkward "not bad enough" situation. Current pricing has heavily bet on a policy shift, with a clear logical chain: weak employment → rising expectations of rate cuts → risk assets get a breather. However, if the data only weakens slightly, neither bad enough to force policy adjustments nor strong enough to completely dash expectations, Bitcoin is more l⚠️ Bearish Chips: Triple Pressure Stacking 1. Rapid Tightening of Macro Rate Hike Expectations This is the biggest current risk source. After Fed Chair Powell's speech at Jackson Hole, the probability of a rate hike in September surged from 35% to 66.4%. He clearly stated that "inflation remains unacceptably high," and the 2% target is "non-negotiable." In a high interest rate environment, Bitcoin, as a non-yielding risk asset, naturally faces pressure. 2. Seasonal Curse — "Rektember" September is historically the worst-performing month for Bitcoin. From 2017 to 2022, September recorded negative returns for six consecutive years. After Bitcoin closed positive in August, the following September typically saw an average drop of about 7%-8%. Although this pattern has been broken in the past three years, this year, combined with rate hike expectations, the pressure is clearly heavier. 3. Long Leverage Is a Time Bomb Currently, the long forced liquidation leverage is about $3 billion, while shorts are only $1.8 billion — a slight price drop could trigger a chain of liquidations. On September 1, Bitcoin once dropped 4% to $77,712, and within 24 hours, 97,691 traders had $487 million in positions liquidated, with longs accounting for $360 million. 4. Geopolitical Tensions Add Fuel to the Fire The US-Iran conflict in the Strait of Hormuz escalated, Brent crude oil rose to $91 per barrel, and the 10-year US Treasury yield climbed to 4.78%. Risk aversion sentiment increased, with funds flowing out of risk assets. 💪 Bulls' Trump Card: Downside Support 1. Institutional Funds Are Still Entering The US spot Bitcoin ETF recorded 35.2 in August On September 1st during the US stock market session, the semiconductor and memory sectors collectively weakened, with the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index dropping over 3%, and Intel falling nearly 4%—this scale of decline deserves a closer look.
Specific figures: Micron fell 2.53%, SanDisk fell 2.26%, Seagate fell 3.06%, Western Digital fell 1.94%, SK Hynix ADR fell 2.41%, Nvidia fell 3.25%, Intel fell 3.88%, and AMD fell 3.48%. Both memory chips (Micron, SanDisk, Seagate, Western Digital) and logic chips (Nvidia, Intel, AMD) declined simultaneously, indicating that this is not an issue isolated to a single segment but that the entire semiconductor supply chain faced collective pressure on the same day.
These companies correspond to different links in AI computing power—Nvidia is the core of computing power, Micron and SanDisk correspond to storage demand, and SK Hynix is a key supplier of HBM high-bandwidth memory. If only Nvidia had fallen, it could be attributed to individual stock sentiment; however, the simultaneous weakening of both memory and logic chips suggests the market is repricing the entire "AI hardware industry chain" rather than questioning the fundamentals of any single company. **Bitcoin ETF capital flows are showing signs of cooling down.** On August 28, US Bitcoin Spot ETFs recorded a net outflow of $201.8 million, ending a streak of 9 consecutive sessions of inflows totaling over $3 billion. Weekly capital flows also dropped 51.8%, down to $924.5 million. This is not yet a signal that institutions are abandoning Bitcoin, but if the trend continues, weakening spot demand could make it difficult for $BTC to absorb selling pressure around the $80,000 level. Investors should monitor ETF flows along with liquidity and price structure.The August US ISM Manufacturing PMI is 54.6, lower than the expected 55.2 and last month's 55.6. The value remains above the 50 expansion-contraction line, indicating the economy is still expanding, but the growth momentum has weakened.
For the Federal Reserve, the data being slightly worse reduces the motivation for rate hikes, but the economy hasn't weakened enough to prompt immediate rate cuts, so monetary policy will likely remain on hold in the short term.
From the crypto perspective: $BTC $ETH $SOL
With data below expectations, there will initially be a slight bullish lift for BTC and ETH; however, since the economy is not in clear recession, the bullish impact is limited. After the initial surge, it will be difficult to sustain a strong one-sided rally, and a pullback followed by consolidation is more probable.
Bitcoin and Ethereum volatility will increase temporarily, altcoins will briefly rebound with the market, but lacking sustained positive catalysts, it will be hard to see a prolonged major rally. Overall, this will be a short-term sentiment-driven move, followed by a return to range-bound trading.

#财报观察员：博通与戴尔接棒，AI回报再受检验 📊 $SUI Contract Liquidation Express (September 1)
Long positions crashed from an extreme 36x leverage down to 1.6x, with the short squeeze barely holding on, and the closing session basically directionless.
Time Total Liquidations Long Liquidations Short Liquidations
1 hour $61,100 $59,400 $1,637.30
4 hours $110,100 $91,700 $18,400
12 hours $242,900 $186,300 $56,600
24 hours $316,900 $194,900 $122,000
From the SUI liquidation data, in the 1-hour window longs dominated shorts with an extreme 36x leverage, starting the short squeeze with nuclear-level intensity, breaking $60,000 in volume; in 4 hours, the long advantage narrowed to 5x, volume rose to $110,000; in 12 hours, the long advantage further dropped to 3.3x, volume rose to $240,000; in 24 hours, the long advantage sharply fell to 1.6x at close, with long liquidations at $194,900 versus shorts at $122,000, totaling $316,900 in liquidations. The long leverage ratio declined from 36x → 5x → 3.3x → 1.6x, showing a continuous exhaustion trajectory, and the short squeeze momentum collapsed. The 12-hour liquidations accounted for 76.7% of the 24-hour total, indicating a very high concentration—most liquidations were completed in the first 12 hours, with almost no increase near the close, and shorts sneaking back in the final period. Leverage is recommended to be compressed to within 3x, and when direction is unclear, watch more and trade less.
🔥 Market Barometer | September 1
Today's three hot topics point to the same theme: Wash's hawkish stance is about to face the ultimate test from employment data; Bitcoin and gold are deeply linked under the "fiat credit revaluation"; and Broadcom and Dell's earnings will successively verify the sustainability of AI hardware returns.
📊 Nonfarm Payrolls Friday Debut: Can Wash's "Hawk" Withstand the Data "Blade"?
At 20:30 Beijing time on September 4, the US August nonfarm payroll report will be released. Reuters surveys expect an increase of 58,000 jobs, with unemployment steady at 4.1%; Wells Fargo expects an increase of 80,000. July's nonfarm unexpectedly dropped by 23,000, the worst this year.
Just last week, Fed Chair Wash delivered his first keynote speech since taking office at Jackson Hole, mentioning "inflation" 25 times, reaffirming the 2% inflation target as "firm and fixed," stating that if core inflation does not "clearly and quickly" decline, the Fed "still has work to do." CME data shows the probability of a September rate hike surged from about 35% before the speech to 60%. If this week's data weakens again, the 60% hike expectation could quickly collapse.
₿ BTC High-Level Volatility: Gold Linkage Strengthens, $7 Billion Flows into ETFs
Bitcoin rose 28% in August, once breaking $81,000, but fell under pressure after Wash's hawkish speech, currently oscillating between $78,000-$79,000.
The core logic driving the previous synchronous strength is the "fiat credit revaluation"—in the past five trading days, gold and Bitcoin ETFs attracted a record $7 billion inflow. Among them, SPDR Gold ETF net inflow was nearly $3.4 billion, and BlackRock Bitcoin ETF net inflow was $1.5 billion. Investors no longer choose between gold and Bitcoin but buy both "non-government credit assets" simultaneously. However, after Wash's speech, rising rate hike expectations have short-term suppressive effects on both assets.
🖥️ Broadcom and Dell Take Over: AI Hardware Returns Face New Tests
Following Nvidia's explosive $96.2 billion revenue report, the AI hardware sector faces a new round of tests this week.
Broadcom will release Q3 earnings after market close on September 2. The market expects revenue around $29.4 billion, up 84% year-over-year; AI semiconductor revenue target is $16 billion, up over 200% year-over-year, accounting for more than half of total revenue. The company has repeatedly reaffirmed its AI semiconductor revenue target of $56 billion for fiscal 2026 and over $100 billion for fiscal 2027.
Dell will release Q2 earnings after market close on September 1. The company built $16.1 billion in AI servers in Q1, with management guiding about 75% growth in the infrastructure segment for Q2, including approximately $15.5 billion in AI server revenue. But margin pressure is notable—the infrastructure segment operating margin has dropped from 14.8% to 10.5%.
💎 Summary
Three events paint the same picture: This Friday's nonfarm payrolls will test Wash's hawkish "still has work to do" stance—if employment weakens again, the 60% rate hike expectation may quickly collapse; Bitcoin and gold are deeply linked under the "fiat credit revaluation," with a record $7 billion ETF inflow; Broadcom and Dell's earnings will successively verify the sustainability of AI hardware returns, with margin pressure becoming a new focus.
As employment data, macro narratives, and AI earnings converge in the same week—the market awaits the final answer on September 4. Meanwhile, SUI's liquidation data reveals a typical path of leverage retreat before major events: starting at 36x, cutting down each period, leaving only 1.6x at the close, basically directionless. The extremely high 76.7% concentration indicates that what needed to be cleared was cleared early, and the rest are veterans cutting each other. The big direction still depends on the nonfarm outcome. #就业数据密集公布，沃什政策立场受检验

#财报观察员：博通与戴尔接棒，AI回报再受检验 Bitcoin ETFs Are Buying Again. But Price Still Isn’t Moving.
One thing on my radar right now is the growing disconnect between institutional demand and Bitcoin’s price action.
U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted around $216.7M in net inflows on Monday, reversing the previous session’s $201.8M outflow.
Yet Bitcoin is still struggling below $80K.
That tells us something.
My radar:
🟠 $BTC — $77K support, $80K resistance
🔵 $ETH — watching institutional strength
🟣 $SOL — tracking liquidity rotation
🟢 $XRP — watching relative performance
The ETF numbers look constructive.
But price is not confirming them yet.
Bitcoin pushed toward $79K again but failed to reclaim the $80K area.
That means sellers are still active around the same resistance zone.
At the same time, institutional demand is returning.
BlackRock’s IBIT accounted for most of Monday’s Bitcoin ETF inflows, showing that large investors are still adding exposure despite the recent weakness.
So why is price not moving?
The answer may be liquidity.
U.S. Treasury yields remain elevated, with the 10-year yield around 4.8%.
Oil is also trading near multi-month highs as geopolitical tensions increase inflation concerns.
That creates pressure on risk assets.
In other words, buyers are entering the market while macro conditions are making it harder for price to expand.
This is why the next move matters more than the current ETF headline.
If Bitcoin can hold $77K and finally reclaim $80K with stronger volume, the recent resistance could turn into support.
A move above $81K would provide an even stronger confirmation that buyers are back in control.
But if $77K fails while ETF demand starts weakening again, the market could be facing another deeper reset.
The broader market is giving us another signal.
$ETH continues to attract institutional attention, while $SOL and $XRP are showing different levels of relative strength.
That makes capital rotation worth watching.
#LaborMarketTestsWalsh #BTCGoldCorrelation #BroadcomDellAIResults Brothers, good evening. I reviewed today's market again, and combined with the news on September 1st, I want to be straightforward with you all—today's market is not a shakeout, but macroeconomic pressure like three knives at the neck, short-term bearish, so brothers, don't stubbornly catch the flying knives. First, let's talk about the news pressuring the market today: 1. The Fed's September rate hike expectation has surged to 66%, as shown by CME FedWatch. After the hawkish Jackson Hole speech, the market is now pricing in a 25 basis point hike on September 16th. The 10-year US Treasury yield touched 4.78%, money is getting more expensive, and zero-yield risk assets like BTC are the first to be hit. 2. The September unlocking wave started with a bang today: SUI unlocked 13.53 million tokens today, ENA will unlock 40.63 million tomorrow, and HYPE will unlock 9.92 million on September 6th (nearly $800 million). Every week there is hundreds of millions in selling pressure; it's no surprise institutions are selling. 3. DeFi had another incident over the weekend: the Tectonic protocol on the Cronos chain was hacked for about $75 million. There were 16 hacker incidents in August alone, which has maxed out risk-off sentiment, and leveraged longs are being liquidated first. So today BTC is stuck around 78,000 in Europe and the US, down about 1% in 24 hours; ETH is grinding between 2440-2480; SOL is pulling back to 102-104. Overall, it's "wanting to bounce but afraid to push hard." But brothers, note that spot ETFs had a net inflow of $27.91 million yesterday, and Strategy bought another $460 million in BTC, so this is a correction, not a crash. 78,000 is a lifeline.September's Rhythm
The three major themes in September are U.S. Treasury bonds, the Federal Reserve meeting, and the midterm elections; the market dynamics revolve around these three:
· Midterm Elections: As mentioned before, Iran is taking advantage of the situation to escalate the conflict, which indeed happened, pushing oil prices back to $90. The current decline in U.S. stocks and gold stems from oil prices; inflation expectations drive rate hike expectations, suppressing all assets. The problem is that Trump still can't TACO because he didn't start this issue; now only Basent is loudly calling for sanctions, but Iran is not afraid at all.
· Federal Reserve Meeting: The key focus is on the nonfarm payrolls and CPI, which are likely to soften, creating a pattern of a "hard dip" before the data and a "rebound" after. If this holds true, rate hikes are unlikely in September, and U.S. stocks may rebound.
· U.S. Treasury Bonds: They are moving toward what I predicted as the "final drop," with the 10-year yield possibly reaching 5%. The underlying reason is Basent's "trading mindset" backfiring; the correct approach is to strictly adhere to fiscal discipline.
In summary, before the nonfarm payrolls and CPI data, U.S. stocks, A-shares, gold, and Bitcoin generally fall; after the data release, they rebound but do not reverse.
U.S. Stocks: The AI industry fundamentals and earnings reports are in a vacuum period, lacking upward catalysts. The Nasdaq at 26,000 is a key support to watch; if a major negative surprise occurs (CPI exceeding expectations), the downside could reach 25,000.
Gold: After breaking below 4,400 tonight and then recovering, 4,400 will be tested again. If it breaks below again, I will slowly monitor the 4,300–4,400 range.
A-shares: This week, attempts to break 4,000 failed consecutively; the ChiNext Index is firmly suppressed by short-term moving averages. With overseas tech weakening, domestic tech rebounds still need to wait. Fortunately, some tech sectors are not highly valued; you can review previous content.
Bitcoin: Continues to oscillate around 78,000, with sufficient turnover being a good sign, building momentum for the next push toward 83,000.
Overall, in September, everyone should focus on defense. Major asset classes are in a state of indecision. Beware of black swan events triggered by bad U.S. data. Options can be allocated appropriately for hedging. If the Labor Statistics Bureau chief performs well and data softens as expected, the market will have some rebound opportunities.
The U.S. Treasury bond issue is escalating, adding long-term logic to gold, but in the short term, oil prices suppress gold prices, so wait for a good entry price.
The above is only personal opinion and does not constitute investment advice. Please be aware of risks. The sudden surge in the probability of a September rate hike has become the core macro factor currently suppressing the crypto market.
📈 Why has the rate hike probability suddenly surged?
The rate hike expectation sharply reversed upward within just one week, mainly due to the hawkish speech by Federal Reserve Chair Powell at the Jackson Hole global central bank annual meeting. He bluntly stated that inflation is "still too high" and abandoned forward guidance, completely overturning the market's previous easing expectations.
· Probability surge: The CME FedWatch tool shows that the probability of a 25 basis point rate hike in September has surged to 66.4%, up from about 35% a week ago.
· Core reasons: The US July PCE annual growth rate is 3.7%, core PCE 3.3%, far above the 2% target; coupled with rising oil prices due to geopolitical factors, inflationary pressure continues to increase.
💥 Direct impact on the crypto market: comprehensive pressure
As the asset most sensitive to liquidity, cryptocurrencies are the first to be hit:
· Price decline across the board: Bitcoin once fell below $76,000, currently oscillating between $77,000 and $78,000; Ethereum dropped to around $2,440; major coins like Solana, XRP, and BNB generally fell 1%-2%.
· ETF fund reversal: The Bitcoin spot ETF, which had net inflows for 9 consecutive days, turned to a net outflow of $202 million for the first time after the rate hike expectations heated up.
· Derivatives liquidation: The market's sharp directional shift caused massive forced liquidations of leveraged long positions. In the past 24 hours, the total liquidation amount of long crypto contracts across the network exceeded $360 million.
⚔️ Market tug-of-war: macro bears vs institutional bulls
Despite macro pressure, the market has not collapsed and shows intense tug-of-war:
· Bear logic: Rate hikes will tighten liquidity and push up US Treasury yields (which have surged to 4.78%), reducing the appeal of interest-free assets like Bitcoin.
· Bull confidence: Institutions are buying on dips. Last week, Bitcoin spot ETF net inflows still reached $924 million; Strategy firms bought Bitcoin at an average price of $80,318; Ethereum ETFs also had net inflows for 11 consecutive days.
🔮 Key upcoming milestones
Short-term trends will depend on several key data points:
1. September 4 (August nonfarm payroll report): If employment exceeds expectations, rate hike expectations will be confirmed, and the market may further decline.
2. September 11 (August CPI data): Inflation data will directly affect the decision at the September 16 FOMC meeting.
3. September 15-16 (FOMC meeting): The final decision will be decisive.
Technically, $80,000-$86,000 is a strong short-term resistance zone for Bitcoin, with key support below at the $76,000-$77,000 range.
Overall, the warming of September rate hike expectations has brought clear short-term headwinds to the crypto market, making high volatility unavoidable. However, institutional fund support also indicates that a simple rate hike is no longer the sole factor determining Bitcoin's trend.
#就业数据密集公布，沃什政策立场受检验
#BTC高位震荡，与黄金联动增强 Probability of a rate hike in September rises, analysis of impact on the crypto space
Current rate hike expectations have risen to 67%. This is not an actual rate hike yet, but pricing at the expectation level. The bearish impact is gradual, not a one-time crash.
Transmission logic
1. Opportunity cost rises
BTC and ETH are zero-coupon risk assets. As U.S. Treasury yields rise, institutional funds will prioritize risk-free U.S. Treasuries, suppressing incremental ETF buying. Sustained large inflows at high levels are unlikely.
2. Risk appetite contracts
The crypto market increasingly correlates with the Nasdaq. With stronger rate hike expectations and a stronger dollar, global risk assets face unified pressure. Funds will proactively reduce risk exposure, with altcoins being sold off first.
3. Contract leverage under pressure
Market borrowing costs rise, making high-leverage positions fragile. The market is prone to flash crashes and cascading liquidations, amplifying volatility, but spot markets may not see large-scale sell-offs.
Impact intensity by scenario
Scenario 1: Only the probability of a rate hike rises, but the rate remains unchanged in September (bearish expectation realized)
• Impact: Some panic has already been priced in earlier, bearish pressure is exhausted, the crypto space has a chance to lift suppression, and BTC may retest the 80,000 resistance level;
• Characteristics: U.S. Treasury yields fall back, ETF funds return, altcoins see repair rebounds.
Scenario 2: A 25bp rate hike is actually implemented in September, and Walsh continues hawkish statements (substantive bearish)
1) BTC:
Short-term noticeable pullback, key support tested in the 74,000–76,000 range; with ETF and MSTR corporate buying support, a direct one-sided crash is unlikely, but a breakout above 80,000 will be delayed, entering a prolonged wide-range consolidation.
2) ETH: High beta, more damage than BTC
The pullback will significantly underperform BTC, 2,400 support is easily broken, and 2,500 resistance is hard to surpass in the short term.
3) Altcoins: Most impacted
Most small and mid-cap coins will fall far more than major coins, with funds quickly flowing back to BTC for safety; only a few independent narrative coins can resist the trend.
Current market reality (based on your screenshot candlestick)
The rising rate hike probability is already reflected in the market:
BTC is stuck in a 77,400–79,000 range, upward attempts are weak, but every dip finds support. This indicates bearish expectations exist, but spot markets show no panic selling, with more contract funds playing back and forth.
Key distinction: expectation VS implementation
• Rising rate hike probability (current stage): suppresses upward momentum, intensifies volatility, hard to form large bullish candles, declines find support.
• Official rate hike announcement: the real bearish shock, amplifies pullback magnitude.
Summary
1. Rising rate hike expectations won’t directly crash the crypto market but will lock in the inability to rally strongly; rallies face selling pressure, and volatility will continue to increase.
2. BTC has stronger risk resistance due to institutional spot base; ETH and altcoins suffer more damage.
3. The biggest variable is the nonfarm payroll data. If nonfarm weakens significantly, rate hike probability will quickly fall, easing macro pressure; if nonfarm is strong, rate hike expectations will surge further, significantly increasing pullback risk.
Key levels to watch: BTC support at 77,400, resistance at 79,000; ETH support at 2,420, resistance at 2,455.

#BTC高位震荡，与黄金联动增强 $SNDK
SanDisk's recent surge is driven primarily by the dual factors of the AI storage boom and continuous flash memory price increases. AI inference servers have caused a massive surge in demand for large-capacity flash memory, with major cloud providers competing for production capacity. NAND chip contract prices have steadily risen, with over half of the company's profit growth coming from product price hikes, pushing gross margins to very high levels. Financial reports have consistently exceeded market expectations. Additionally, the company signed a long-term supply agreement worth hundreds of billions with a major client and announced large-scale buybacks and plans to return excess cash flow to shareholders. Institutional investors are willing to assign higher valuations, and whenever there is a pullback, funds step in to buy, occasionally triggering rapid short-squeeze rallies.
In the short term, as long as spot and contract prices for flash memory maintain an upward trend, the stock price is likely to repeatedly strengthen. $1500 is a key support level, with the upside target range between $1600 and $1800. When sector sentiment is strong, the stock can exhibit explosive momentum. However, it is a typical cyclical growth stock, and the price has already priced in a lot of optimistic expectations, resulting in particularly high volatility and frequent rapid pullbacks after big gains.
The medium-term outlook hinges on two key points: first, whether actual procurement by AI data centers can continue to materialize; second, the pace of new capacity releases. If supply increases in the future, the chip price rally will cool down, putting pressure on profits and stock price. The storage sector tends to move in tandem, with Micron and Kioxia's market performance directly influencing SanDisk's trend.
#就业数据密集公布，沃什政策立场受检验 #闪迪MSCI调仓生效，NAND估值受关注 #BTC高位震荡，与黄金联动增强 In late August, ETH experienced a rare strong rally for the year. From August 19 to 21, ETH rose from about $1916 to an intraday price of $2546, a significant increase surpassing BTC over the same period. Afterwards, the price did not quickly retreat but consolidated near the $2500 level, and the ETH/BTC exchange rate rebounded significantly from the mid-year low. This rally was first ignited by improved risk appetite and short squeezes, but the real discussion in this article is the supply and demand changes behind the rally: the US spot Ethereum ETF saw a weekly net inflow of nearly $700 million, about 42 million ETH staked, exchange balances dropped about 15% compared to early June, and corporate treasuries continue to increase holdings. Several forces are combining, compressing the amount of ETH available for immediate sale. Based on this, author Itai Smidt suggests that ETH's circulating supply has tightened significantly compared to June, and new funds entering thinner markets may generate greater price elasticity. However, a decrease in supply does not necessarily mean a price increase; this round also includes a large amount of short covering and leveraged funds, so the sustainability of ETF inflows has yet to be fully verified. Therefore, what the market needs to confirm next is not only whether ETH can break through $2550, but also whether institutional funds can continue to flow in, whether ETH/BTC can hold onto the rebound gains, and whether staking and corporate holdings continue to absorb new supply. These variables will determine whether this rally is a quick short squeeze or an ETThe pinned macro framework for this week mentions two verification logics for this week's macro data:
1. Whether employment can weaken Walsh's current hawkish rate hike view
2. ISM data verifies whether changes in the labor market come from the supply side or demand side, while also showing some economic resilience
Tonight's July job openings and ISM manufacturing PMI are considered the first wave of data this week
July job openings show 7.271 million, higher than the previous value but weaker than expected, considered moderate data, which means that corporate demand for employment has not collapsed and still maintains certain demand resilience, so this data cannot weaken the probability of a rate hike in September
August ISM manufacturing PMI recorded 54.6, still in growth, but overall weaker than the previous value and expectations, manufacturing is clearly cooling down, but still far from recession expectations
Among the three major sub-items of the futures ISM data, new orders declined, employment weakened, and prices paid remained unchanged and higher than expected. Although this set is not enough for stagflation expectations, there are already slight signs of stagflation, especially the weakening employment, which means demand side weakening, unfavorable for Friday's expectations
Especially if Thursday's ISM services PMI is consistent with manufacturing data, then short-term slight stagflation expectations will significantly increase #就业数据密集公布，沃什政策立场受检验
Overall, tonight's data has little impact on the market, considered neutral data, and the probability of a September rate hike remains unchanged. The 2-year US Treasury yield slightly weakened. The data itself gives the market a brief respite, but faced with the current high oil prices, this effect is obviously not obvious FalconX 宣布与 Ethena 通过 SPV 建立 $10 亿有担保借贷额度,把 USDe 储备资产投向超额抵押机构信贷;FalconX 担任发起人、服务商与抵押品管理人,抵押品由合格第三方托管 一、结论 第一,这笔交易把 USDe 的收益来源从单一资金费率 carry 升级为四类组合:质押收益、资金费率、国债类资产、机构担保信贷。 $10 亿循环高级担保额度打开了其中容量最大的一条腿——机构借贷此前已占 USDe 储备的 6.9%(约 $3.1 亿),若额度满额动用,对应当前约 $45 亿储备的两成上下,收益结构将发生量级变化。 第二,结构上,"仓储融资 + 破产隔离 SPV + 第一顺位担保权益"是传统金融运转了数十年的成熟法律工程,这次首度以稳定币储备为资金来源批量落地。稳定币发行方由此获得一个新身份:面向 $1.5–2 万亿私募信贷市场的资金批发商。 第三,护城河来自三个变量的乘积:负债端的零成本浮存金规模 × 需求端的分销网络(CEX 保证金、Aladdin、Robinhood、Coinbase)× 资产端的结构化能力(SPV、托管、第三方持续审查)。 二、结构分析 该Macro Background: Hawkish Rate Hike Expectations Are the Biggest Headwind
After Federal Reserve Chair Warsh's hawkish remarks, the market raised the probability of a rate hike in September from about 35% to 57-61.9%. Warsh confirmed that the 2% inflation target is a hard constraint. U.S. PCE inflation is at 3.7%, core inflation at 3.3%, and Q2 private demand annualized growth at 4.2%, with macro data supporting a tightening stance.
This Friday's U.S. August nonfarm payroll data is the biggest variable. If the data is weak, it may weaken rate hike expectations and provide relief for risk assets; if the data is strong, the probability of a rate hike will further increase.
On the geopolitical front, clashes between the U.S. and Iran in the Strait of Hormuz have escalated conflicts, pushing oil prices higher and gold prices up simultaneously. BTC, as "digital gold," has attracted safe-haven capital inflows.
$BTC $ETH $SOL #OKX预言家：CS2波尔图激战，F1与英超接力 In the first week of September, the market focus shifts to U.S. employment data, but the real risk may not lie in the data itself, rather in its awkward "not bad enough" situation. Current pricing has heavily bet on a policy shift, with a clear logical chain: weak employment → rising expectations of rate cuts → risk assets get a breather. However, if the data only weakens slightly, neither bad enough to force policy adjustments nor strong enough to completely dash expectations, Bitcoin is more likely to fall into a choppy pattern of repeated stop-loss sweeps.
Both bulls and bears are reluctant to exit in this ambiguous zone: bulls firmly believe there is still room for rate cuts, while bears are convinced that high interest rates are not over yet. For short-term traders, this is undoubtedly the most agonizing environment—every breakout could be a front-run before data release, and every sharp drop might just be a forced liquidation of leveraged positions.
Rather than predicting whether there will be a rate cut in September, it is better to observe whether BTC’s initial reaction to the data release can be quickly reversed. If bad news doesn’t cause a drop and good news doesn’t cause a rise, that is the real warning signal, meaning the market has already priced in all expectations in advance. In the first week of September, what may decide the market is not the quality of the data but the market’s "reaction" to it. Risk warning: market volatility is intense, please control your positions rationally.

Isn't that impressive?
India has the largest population, while the United States has the highest penetration rate.
In contrast, countries with high inflation such as Vietnam, Argentina, and Turkey hold currency in particularly high proportions.
The reason isn't complicated: some people buy big pies because their national currency has fallen too hard, so they can only use it as a lifelong cash outlet.
Let's start with a core point: as the number of users grows≠ Bitcoin is about to skyrocket.
Currently, only about 4.5%–6% of people worldwide have encountered Bitcoin.
What does this mean?
Bitcoin has gradually transformed from a niche toy into a mainstream investment asset.
But it is still far from truly challenging the fiat currency system.
If it really wants to enter a nationwide asset competition, the penetration rate might need to aim for 50% or even higher.
Where are we now?
And the 500 million users themselves are inflated,
For example, if one person opens several exchange accounts or wallets, both on-chain and trading platforms may be counted repeatedly.
So it's actually hard to count how many are real users and how many are duplicate accounts within this number.
So dreaming of Bitcoin reaching millions of dollars still requires time, a major global economic crash.
The reality is that there is gold, a trillion-level giant beast on top.
Next to it are regulators, traditional finance, ETFs, and the banking system.
They won't actively give way just because Bitcoin users have grown larger.
So the real question isn't how many people have actually bought Bitcoin?
It's about how many people are willing to treat it as a long-term asset. ARB rose nearly 30% in a single day, with open interest increasing by more than 10%, making it the strongest mainstream asset in the crypto market in the past 24 hours. This round of rally was driven by more than just narrative. Offchain Labs co-founder Steven Goldfeder confirmed that Robinhood Chain's on-chain trading revenue in the past 24 hours exceeded $2 million, continuing to climb from about $1.22 million the previous day. Because Robinhood Chain uses the Arbitrum Dedicated Chain architecture, about 10% of net protocol revenue is returned to the Arbitrum ecosystem. Annualized at current levels: $2 million × 365 days× 10% ≈ $73 million. This is the first time in ARB history that an annualized revenue stream from a single app can be clearly attributed, with the market voting for a 30% increase. Twenty times in eight days ARK Invest capital markets analyst Lorenzo Valente provides a more compelling growth curve: Robinhood Chain's daily total revenue climbed from $54,676 on August 22 to $1.088 million on August 30, a nearly 20-fold increase in eight days. The share Arbitrum gained from this,Everyone is watching the ARB pump. I’m watching whether $0.11 can actually turn into support. $ARB is around $0.10875 after a sharp 24h move, while the catalyst is more interesting than the chart alone: Robinhood Chain generated over $2M in daily fees, and its Arbitrum-based infrastructure sends 10% of protocol net revenue into the Arbitrum ecosystem. But here’s the problem: derivatives activity has expanded aggressively, with futures volume reported above $800M and open interest up more than Let's chat a bit about tonight's US stock market.
All three major indices opened lower: the Dow fell 0.61%, the Nasdaq dropped 1.29%, and the S&P 500 dropped 0.68%. All seven tech giants fell at the open—Nvidia fell 1.68%, Meta 2.49%, Microsoft 1.72%, Tesla 2%, and Amazon 2.46%. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index opened down 2%, Nvidia down 1.8%, SanDisk down 2.72%, and Micron and SK Hynix each fell over 2%.
Two core suppressive factors:
First, the U.S. and Iran have clashed again. After the U.S. airstrike on Iran's Larak Island, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard retaliated by launching missiles at U.S. bases. Brent crude approached $92 per barrel, directly pushing up inflation expectations.
Second, rising expectations of rate hikes. After Walsh took a hawkish stance last week, swap market pricing shows a rate hike probability in September has exceeded 60%. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield rose to 4.782%, the highest since January this year. High oil prices + high interest rate expectations are doubly suppressing risk assets.
Sector differentiation is also evident—oil and gas stocks bucked the trend and strengthened, with energy ETFs rising about 2%; Technology and semiconductor sectors all declined.
September started off suppressed by both geopolitical and rate hike expectations. Friday's nonfarm payroll data was the real test; big money won't enter the market easily until the data is out.

#财报观察员: Broadcom and Dell take over, AI returns are being tested again 📊 $SPCX Contract Liquidation Express (September 1)
Long and short positions repeatedly changed hands throughout the day, with leverage never exceeding 2x — direction unclear, the market makers moderately harvesting in the tug-of-war between longs and shorts
Time Total Liquidations Long Liquidations Short Liquidations
1 hour $19,500 $12,100 $7,425.25
4 hours $386,200 $194,600 $191,600
12 hours $452,200 $247,700 $204,500
24 hours $703,000 $420,400 $282,600
From the SPCX liquidation data, longs held a slight 1.63x advantage in the 1-hour window, with volume approaching $20,000, direction still unclear; the 4-hour long advantage sharply dropped to 1.02x, nearly balanced, but volume surged to $386,200 — both longs and shorts were liquidated simultaneously in the 4-hour window, showing clear bidirectional harvesting characteristics; in 12 hours, longs regained a slight 1.21x advantage, volume rose to $452,200; in 24 hours, longs closed with a 1.49x advantage, long liquidations at $420,400 versus shorts at $282,600, total liquidations exceeded $700,000. Long leverage ratios moved from 1.63x → 1.02x → 1.21x → 1.49x, with a daily amplitude of only 0.6x, showing an N-shaped oscillation trajectory, with longs and shorts changing hands three times but unable to break 2x leverage. The 12-hour liquidations accounted for 64.3% of the 24-hour total, indicating a moderately high concentration. Leverage is recommended to be compressed to within 3x; when direction is unclear, watch more and trade less.
🔥 Market Barometer | September 1
Today's three hot topics point to the same theme: Wash's hawkish tone is about to face the ultimate test from employment data; Bitcoin and gold are deeply linked under the "fiat credit revaluation"; and Broadcom and Dell's earnings will successively verify the sustainability of AI hardware returns.
📊 Nonfarm Payrolls Friday Debut: Can Wash's "Hawk" Withstand the "Blade" of Data?
At 20:30 Beijing time on September 4, the US August nonfarm payroll report will be released. Reuters surveys expect an increase of 58,000 jobs, with unemployment steady at 4.1%; Wells Fargo expects an increase of 80,000. July's nonfarm unexpectedly decreased by 23,000, the worst this year.
Last week, Fed Chair Wash delivered his first keynote speech since taking office at Jackson Hole, mentioning "inflation" 25 times, reaffirming the 2% inflation target as "firm and fixed," stating that if core inflation does not "clearly and quickly" decline, the Fed "still has work to do." CME data shows the probability of a September rate hike surged from about 35% before the speech to 60%. If this week's data weakens again, the 60% rate hike expectation may quickly collapse.
₿ BTC High-Level Volatility: Gold Linkage Continues to Strengthen, $7 Billion Flows into ETFs
Bitcoin rose 28% in August, once breaking above $81,000, but fell under pressure after Wash's hawkish speech, currently oscillating between $78,000-$79,000.
The core logic driving the previous synchronous strength is the "fiat credit revaluation" — in the past five trading days, gold and Bitcoin ETFs attracted a record $7 billion inflow. Among them, SPDR Gold ETF net inflow was nearly $3.4 billion, BlackRock Bitcoin ETF net inflow was $1.5 billion. Investors no longer choose between gold and Bitcoin but buy both "non-government credit assets" simultaneously. However, after Wash's speech, rising rate hike expectations have suppressed both assets in the short term.
🖥️ Broadcom and Dell Take Over: AI Hardware Returns Face New Tests
Following Nvidia's explosive $96.2 billion revenue report, the AI hardware sector faces a new round of tests this week.
Broadcom will release Q3 earnings after market close on September 2. The market expects revenue around $29.4 billion, up 84% year-over-year; AI semiconductor revenue target is $16 billion, up over 200% year-over-year, accounting for more than half of total revenue. The company has repeatedly reaffirmed its AI semiconductor revenue target of $56 billion for fiscal 2026 and over $100 billion for fiscal 2027.
Dell will release Q2 earnings after market close on September 1. The company built $16.1 billion in AI servers in Q1, with management guiding about 75% growth in the infrastructure segment in Q2, including about $15.5 billion in AI server revenue. But margin pressure is notable — infrastructure segment operating margin has dropped from 14.8% to 10.5%.
💎 Summary
Three events paint the same picture: This Friday's nonfarm payrolls will test Wash's hawkish "still has work to do" stance — if employment weakens again, the 60% rate hike expectation may quickly collapse; Bitcoin and gold are deeply linked under the "fiat credit revaluation," with a record $7 billion ETF inflow; Broadcom and Dell's earnings will successively verify the sustainability of AI hardware returns, with margin pressure becoming a new focus.
As employment data, macro narratives, and AI earnings converge in the same week — the market awaits the final answer on September 4. SPCX liquidation data perfectly reflects the "volume contraction squeeze" state before the big event: long leverage never broke 2x all day, the 4-hour window was nearly balanced, and 64.3% concentration indicates most liquidations were completed in the first 12 hours. The big direction still depends on the nonfarm outcome. #就业数据密集公布，沃什政策立场受检验

#财报观察员：博通与戴尔接棒，AI回报再受检验 Bitcoin spot ETFs have once again seen capital inflows, with a single-day net inflow of $216.7 million, ending the previous day's outflow trend. BlackRock's IBIT product alone absorbed $205.9 million, signaling a return of institutional buying.
Entering September, BTC continues to fluctuate near the high level around $78,000. However, the real risk focus in the market currently is not on ETF capital flows but on the macro factor of U.S. Treasury bonds.
Oil prices have stabilized above $90, and the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield has risen to 4.78%. The market is repricing the probability of a Fed rate hike in September. Bitcoin dipped to a low of $77,200 last night, with tightening liquidity expectations continuing to suppress the market. Given the macro-level uncertainties, aggressive short-term trading is not advisable.
There are also favorable signals on the chart: Bitcoin's full-month gain in August reached 24%. During this high-level consolidation phase, the total open interest in perpetual contracts has fallen to the lowest point since May, indicating no speculative leverage overheating in the market.
Going forward, two key thresholds to watch: if the price holds the $77,000 support, the market still has momentum to challenge the $80,000 level; if it breaks below $77,000 effectively, a deeper correction risk needs to be guarded against. $BTC $ETH $ZEC #交易之声：你的经验值得被听到 OpenAI once called advertising a "last resort."

Sometimes, I really don't understand MicroStrategy! It always sells at lows and buys at highs.
According to the latest Bitcoin holdings disclosed by MicroStrategy.
From August 24 to August 30, 2026, the company acquired 4,603 bitcoins at an average price of $80,318.
The funds for this Bitcoin purchase mainly came from selling MSTR stock worth $602.8 million, of which $50.7 million was used to pay STRC interest, $367.9 million to buy stock, $151.8 million for post-meeting STRC stock, and $30 million to increase cash liquidity.
In the past, MicroStrategy was financially strong; when it sold stock, it often directly bought Bitcoin in full.
Previous operation mode: financing — buying coins.
Current operation mode: financing — buying coins, saving them, repurchasing stock, paying interest.
This subtle change indicates that although MicroStrategy still remains bullish on Bitcoin, the company's operational structure now faces more complex leverage and funding chain risks than before.
This is MicroStrategy's first Bitcoin purchase after a two-and-a-half-month pause.
This purchase has attracted a lot of attention.
The outside world has mixed opinions about this buying behavior.
Some say it finally came out to support Bitcoin, making up for the negative impact caused by previous sales.
Others say buying so much just increases risk for every investor.
Because everyone could be affected if the company’s heavy position and excessive financing cause asset structure problems, dragging everyone down.
Just like the rumors in March that MicroStrategy would sell Bitcoin, causing the price to plummet wildly.
Then two months ago, it tried selling some coins, and the price dropped again.
This shows how much influence MicroStrategy has on the crypto space.
Now continuing to buy Bitcoin again, total holdings increase further.
Such concerns are inevitable again, after all, it is no longer the crypto faith that swore to only buy and never sell!
Actually, personally, I am less willing to see MicroStrategy buy coins again.
Because, if you see it as a company, the background of the largest shareholder often determines how far the company can go.
If the largest shareholder is a country or a fund with a national background, that kind of endorsement would elevate Bitcoin’s status.
But now, the largest shareholder Satoshi Nakamoto is an unknown figure, the second largest shareholder MicroStrategy buys coins with financing, and the third largest shareholder BlackRock holds funds to buy coins (ETF), basically a large speculator.
So, more and more Bitcoin flowing into their hands will only increase future risks and uncertainties for Bitcoin.
The above is just a personal opinion and not investment advice.
