The probability of a rate hike in September soared overnight from 35% to 60%: Bitcoin's "autumn reckoning" has only just begun. On August 30, according to Caixin, Federal Reserve Chair Wash took a hawkish stance at the Jackson Hole symposium, and former Fed Vice Chair Blinder bluntly said this laid the groundwork for a September rate hike. The market's expectation for a September rate hike jumped from 35% to about 60%. 【Veteran's rambling】 Don't be fooled by the phrase "no clear forward guidance." Wash mentioned inflation 25 times throughout his speech. The two-year Treasury yield jumped from 4.22% to 4.35% that day, the dollar index surged to 99.703, and gold prices plunged nearly 3% in a single day—this is the market voting with its feet, not listening with its ears. I've been watching crypto for eight years, and my deepest insight is this: Bitcoin generates no cash flow; its valuation is entirely based on the belief in "more liquidity in the future." Once the risk-free rate rises, funds immediately flow into assets like U.S. Treasuries that offer real returns, and BTC is the first to be sold off. During the 2022 rate hike cycle, the correlation between BTC price and interest rates reached an astonishing -90%. The current scenario is even harsher. Spot ETFs have deeply tied BTC into traditional brokerage accounts, macro funds, and multi-asset portfolios, making it increasingly resemble a high-beta tech stock. When institutions cut AI and chip positions, they also redeem crypto exposure and close perpetual contracts. So after Wash's speech, BTC only mildly retreated to around $79,500, not crashing, but mining companies like MARA and Riot, which are highly leveraged, were hit hard.$BTC $DOGE Two things are driving the market this week, and I'm a bit conflicted holding long positions. First, the Nonfarm Payroll data on Thursday. On September 4th, the US August Nonfarm Employment Report will be released. This is the last key data before the FOMC. After Wash's speech, rate hike expectations have risen, with CME FedWatch showing a 57.5% chance of a rate hike in September. If the data is strong, BTC and ETH will come under pressure. If the data is weak, longs can still be held. Second, USDT in Europe has reached a turning point today. On August 31st, Revolut officially delisted USDT. With MiCA regulations coming into effect, Tether has not yet obtained authorization. Revolut is just the beginning; USDT liquidity in Europe is being gradually withdrawn. European users can only swap to USDC or EURC. If liquidity is insufficient, slippage will increase, and volatility will be amplified. BTC is holding around 78000, ETH around 2500, both still holding up. But both factors are tightening. On one side, rate hike expectations are heating up; on the other, Europe is closing the door on USDT. Long positions remain, with some floating profits pulled back. Stop losses are already set, waiting for the data to come out. Market volatility won't be small this week. --- #BTC高位多空拉锯，黄金联动增强 #沃什强调通胀风险，9月加息预期升温 In the past month, the A-share market has seen shrinking volume and stagnant gains, unable to break above or fall below the 3300-point mark, with frequent rallies followed by pullbacks. Sector rotation is too fast; yesterday it was photovoltaic stocks rallying, today it's liquor stocks being hammered. Chasing in is like getting a big bowl of trouble. The brokerage stocks I hold have been consolidating for two whole weeks. Watching the thematic stocks outside bustling, I stubbornly resisted switching. This kind of market reminds me of the end of the 2021 bull market in the crypto space, also characterized by low volume sideways trading, followed by a market shift. $BTC has also been oscillating around the 60,000 level in the past month, with volatility suppressed to an extremely low level. Experience from the stock market tells me that after extreme volume contraction, a directional choice usually follows, with both sides waiting for the turning point. Currently, I maintain a half position in stocks, able to attack or defend, not betting on a single direction. $ETH's movement is highly synchronized with Bitcoin, so without an independent trend, I give up short-term trades. Actually, the core of trading stocks and crypto is one rule: don't place heavy bets during uncertain periods; wait for clear signals. Last week, A-shares showed record low volume, and crypto also experienced historically low volatility. At times like this, patience is key. Look at the market less, sleep more, and wait to act until there is a volume breakout or breakdown. Remember, when lightning strikes, you need to be there, but don't stand on high ground. $SOL has rebounded quickly recently, but before volume picks up, I treat it as just a rebound. Protect your principal and wait for the wind to come.📊 $BTC — follow-up on that reversal setup Called out a 3-drive reversal pattern earlier, and price played out exactly as expected — three touches on that ascending wedge, each one weaker than the last, right into the breaker block zone near 78,024. That breaker block did its job. Strong rejection right where it needed to happen, and now price is showing clear signs of continuation lower. The target here is that flat 4H candle open down near 72,984 — that's the zone where price originally openedKeep fighting with Brother Maji! Hold on to the $ETH long position The news is all bearish So the two of us brothers have to go against it This position was opened at 2420 Now around 2417 Losing a few tens of U is not a panic Although Maji's profit has retraced over 6 million USD He closed other positions Only the $ETH long position remains This shows he is no longer betting on a short-term rebound What I care more about is that the funds haven't fully withdrawn Last week, the US spot ETH ETF had a net inflow close to 700 million USD So as long as 2400 can hold I'm not in a hurry to admit defeat $BTC is now the source of pressure After Wash turned hawkish The probability of a September rate hike has risen to 57% Yields are also rising accordingly If BTC doesn't reclaim 80k The whole market will be a bit hesitant $UNI, on the other hand, has its own logic Protocol fees have started entering the UNI burn mechanism v4 is also continuing to push fee expansion This is something that truly changes token supply and demand So once the market stops falling I think $UNI is more worth watching than altcoins that just tell stories For now, I'll stick with Maji As long as 2400 holds The bulls still have a chance! #沃什强调通胀风险，9月加息预期升温 #BTC高位多空拉锯，黄金联动增强 #美伊军事对抗升级，原油供应风险升温 $ETH 's sharp surge last night and the steep drop this morning are the result of a fierce clash in a short time between bullish short squeeze sentiment and macro/geopolitical negative factors. Essentially, this is a game between institutional buying of spot ETFs and selling in the derivatives market along with macro risks. #WalshInflationRisk #BTCGoldCorrelation #SchwabExpandsCrypto 🌅 Early Monday morning, global financial markets collectively plunged, triggered by renewed clashes between the US and Iran. In the early hours of August 31, the US military airstruck Iran's Larak Island. This is the first publicly acknowledged physical military strike by the US since the ceasefire broke down in July. Unlike Iran's unilateral semi-blockade of the Strait in March, this time the US military proactively targeted rocket launchers, prompting the Iranian Revolutionary Guard to retaliate with missile launches. The conflict has officially escalated from a simple oil price risk pricing to a two-way direct military confrontation. 💡 Intriguing timing background Recently, Trump signaled willingness to negotiate and open dialogue with Iran. The underlying reality: US domestic public opinion is war-weary, hoping to end Middle East consumption; stabilizing oil prices to suppress inflation also helps gain public support for the midterm elections. However, this raid directly compresses the space for diplomatic negotiations. A mainstream market speculation is that some forces do not favor a smooth US-Iran reconciliation. Israel has consistently opposed compromise with Iran; once ceasefire talks succeed, it would undermine the legitimacy of its military actions; hawks within the US also do not want negotiations to proceed smoothly. The crypto market weakened simultaneously, with BTC falling below 78000. A noteworthy phenomenon: in this round of geopolitical turmoil, Bitcoin's movement is synchronized with crude oil rather than following gold's safe-haven rhythm. Interestingly, traditional safe-haven asset gold did not rise as expected but instead opened sharply lower. The macro logic behind this is worth pondering: the market is currently pricing in more than simple panic-driven risk aversion. Rising oil prices bring energy inflation concerns, directly squeezing the Fed's rate cut space; with rising real US dollar interest rates, interest-free asset gold is naturally suppressed. 💡 A key conclusion: At this stage, Bitcoin's trading attribute leans more toward a high-beta risk asset, not the "digital gold" safe-haven many imagine. In an environment where geopolitics push inflation and tighten liquidity expectations, it is more likely to be pressured alongside stocks and growth assets. This change in correlation is very important for our subsequent position management and market judgment. ⚠️ Trading tips: Geopolitical news reversals are extremely fast, with frequent market spikes; do not chase news-driven trades. Reduce positions in the crypto market, tighten stop losses, and prioritize waiting for the situation to clarify before reassessing direction. #美伊军事对抗升级，原油供应风险升温 The most interesting thing about ETH right now is not how much it has risen, but that funds and price are in conflict. My conclusion: moderately bullish in the medium term, but do not chase in the short term. On August 28, the US ETH spot ETF had a net inflow of about $102 million, with BlackRock ETHA contributing about $83.8 million in a single day. Institutional funds are indeed still buying. But on the same day, BTC ETFs had a net outflow of about $202 million. I tend to interpret this as funds rotating from BTC to assets like ETH, rather than the entire market re-entering a mindless risk-on mode. More importantly, the macro environment. After Warsh's hawkish remarks, the probability of a rate hike in September rose to 55.7%, with the dollar and US Treasury yields rising simultaneously. For ETH, this means ETF buying is directly offsetting macro pressure. Currently, ETH is still around $2450. So my judgment criteria are simple: If it holds above 2500, I will clearly turn bullish; if it continues to be suppressed by 2500, I will not chase; if it falls below 2400, I will start to doubt whether ETF funds are really sufficient to absorb selling pressure. Bitcoin continues to be bearish Just yesterday I said it was a fake bull market and a real shakeout Didn't expect this view to be confirmed in less than a night The big coin directly dropped to 76916 The bulls are stunned again Yesterday I thought the overall environment was bad Many investors were unwilling to invest Today it’s smashed for you to see Dropped from 79387 to 76916 Down nearly 2500 points This wave is a typical liquidity hunt Pump up to trigger short stop losses Smash down to trigger long stop losses Cutting back and forth With rate hike expectations pressing down, the market can only oscillate Wash’s hawkish speech Is like a knife hanging over the head September rate hike probability over 50% As long as this news hasn’t landed Big money doesn’t dare to enter massively The market can only oscillate Pump up then get smashed down Drop then have bottom-fishers That’s why I say Better hold your hands before non-farm payrolls Before the rate hike news lands No big moves for bulls or bears Rebound to 78000-78500 Can continue to short Drop to around 76000 Can lightly try longs Stop loss at 75500 This is an oscillation mindset No grand scheme Close positions when at the level Fake bull market, real shakeout This judgment is indeed accurate Next, continue to watch the oscillation High shorts, low longs Don’t chase highs or sell lows Wait for the non-farm data to come out Then decide the big direction $BTC $ETH #沃什强调通胀风险，9月加息预期升温 #BTC高位多空拉锯，黄金联动增强 I've seen BTC move like this more than once. Comparing it with two historical waves will give you a clear idea. The first wave was a recovery after a sharp drop, very similar to now: a big bearish candle crashes down, then it consolidates sideways above the support level, grinding for two or three days to choose a direction. During this grinding, most people think it will bounce back up, but it ends up testing the bottom again. The second wave is a real stabilization, characterized by the retracement low no longer breaking the previous low, and the rebound can hold above the resistance level. Currently, BTC is at 77700, previous low at 76916, resistance at 78400, stuck grinding in the middle. I've lost 200,000 U and am trying to recover. History has taught me not to enter early during sideways consolidation; wait for it to choose a side on its own. Opening a position with 5000 U, two plans: if volume breaks above 78400, then add longs, stop loss at 77900, targets at 79000 and 79387; if it breaks below 77300 and fails to recover, go short with stop loss at 77800, targets at 77000 and 76916. Never hold a position without a stop loss. History won't repeat exactly but will rhyme. Don't bet on direction in the middle; wait for the market to give the answer before acting. This is experience earned with real money. $BTC #财报观察员：AI需求延伸至存储与软件 Monday, August 31, 2026. Federal Reserve Policy Stance ("Hawkish Pressure"): Wash emphasized at the Jackson Hole meeting that inflation remains elevated, and fighting inflation is still the Fed's top priority. Due to the recent rebound in inflation (holding around 3%) combined with Middle East tensions pushing up energy prices, the market's previous expectations of multiple rate cuts within the year have been significantly weakened. Liquidity Landscape: Quantitative Tightening and Fiscal Squeeze: The Treasury's high borrowing demand coupled with the Fed's ongoing balance sheet reduction has gradually tightened the excess reserves in the financial system, causing short-term financing costs to remain sticky. Global Liquidity Divergence: The Bank of Japan (BOJ) has tightened the global carry trade ropes due to rising rate hike expectations; meanwhile, the People's Bank of China maintains a relatively loose monetary stance to support the economy, concentrating global funds into high-yielding dollar assets. Bitcoin (BTC) Current Status: Exhibiting highly liquidity-sensitive volatile pullbacks. Logic: As a non-interest-bearing risk asset, BTC is constrained by high interest rates and tightening liquidity conditions. However, given its increasing institutionalization (ETF inflows) and enhanced safe-haven attributes, it has strong support on the downside and in the short term mainly follows U.S. stock risk appetite and the global Financial Conditions Index (FCI) fluctuations. $BTC Over the weekend, $BTC was pushed up to 79,300 before continuously falling, essentially a false breakout caused by low liquidity: institutions and market makers left the market over the weekend, and the order book depth was 30%-40% thinner than on weekdays. A small amount of capital could push the price to resistance levels, creating a "breakout" illusion but lacking real buying support. 79,300 happened to be right at a previous dense trading zone, where the selling pressure from trapped positions being released, short-term profit-taking, and bears rebuilding positions overlapped. The price failed to stabilize effectively and then declined stepwise, with the high points gradually moving lower. The 78,200 starting point for the rise has been tested multiple times, weakening its support effect. Combined with the broad decline in U.S. stock futures on Monday and the sudden change in the Iran situation triggering risk aversion, this "fake breakout" looks more like leverage deleveraging plus a liquidity trap rather than a trend reversal. The true confirmation of direction depends on whether liquidity recovers during the Asian session on Monday and if 79,000 can be reclaimed; if it cannot hold above that level, bears will take control, with the downside target at the dense chip zone between 77,500 and 77,000. From an operational perspective, chasing longs is not advisable; short positions can be taken when the rebound faces resistance at 78,800-79,000, with a strict stop loss above 79,300. #嘉信理财拟新增SOL、AVAX与LINK #BTC高位多空拉锯，黄金联动增强 Over the weekend, the bull market seems to have moved again... $BTC peaked at $79,401, then climbed back to around 77,700, with the lowest just hitting 77,000; $ETH fell from 2,535 to 2,418, $SOL also fell from 107.5 to 101.8. The drop isn't scary, but the account experience is definitely tough. There are two areas to watch separately for this pullback. After nine consecutive trading days of inflows, the US BTC spot ETF saw a net outflow of about $202 million on Friday. One day of outflows didn't overturn all previous funds, but buying did come to a halt. Instead, ETH ETFs continued to see a net inflow of about $102 million that day, with funds not fully withdrawing from the crypto space, more like swapping positions between BTC and ETH. The real answer will wait for the US stock market to open tonight. BTC is eyeing $77,000 first. If it holds here, the market still has a chance to pull back to 79,000; Only after it holds above 79,000 can the price continue to negotiate between 80,000 and 81,500. A brief push during the session doesn't count; a pullback only counts. If 77,000 is broken down on high volume and the rebound fails to recover, the next phase will most likely target 75,500–76,000. At that point, counterfeit prices won't just be "small pullbacks"; already weak coins like DOGE and XRP may need to be pushed further. ETH's $2400 level is also very important. Although ETF funds are still buying, the price has already returned to 2418, indicating selling pressure is not light. If 2400 can hold, it can test 2450–2500 again;I heard there was another clash between the US and Iran last night. 🛩️ What happened last night? In the late night of August 30 Beijing time, the US military launched an airstrike on Larak Island near the Strait of Hormuz in Iran. This was the first military action taken by the US against Iran in over a month since July 29. #WalshInflationRisk #BTCGoldCorrelation #SchwabExpandsCrypto 🔥$BTC is like a decent middle-aged person, it doesn't get wild when it rises, nor does it make a fuss when it falls. People holding BTC these days shouldn't be too tense: In August, it rebounded strongly from just over 60,000 to 81,000, a pretty sharp increase, but once they hear "Fed leaning hawkish," it shrinks back to 78,000–79,000, like an employee immediately putting their legs down when the boss says attendance will be checked. It’s not like meme coins that go crazy every day, nor like platform tokens that constantly run promotions; it mainly plays the "slow bull attempt + macro pressure" game. Good news: ETFs are not completely out of the picture; in the first 9 days of August, about 3 billion flowed in, with just over 200 million flowing out on Friday alone, which counts as "catching a breath" rather than "running away"; long-term holders on-chain are still accumulating, exchange balances are relatively low, so selling pressure isn’t casual. Bad news: Wash speeches, September rate decisions, crude oil, and geopolitical volatility will all make it sneeze; chasing gains above 79,000 is easily discouraged by resistance at 81,000, while panic below 77,000 tends to lead to selling at the bottom. The most worry-free strategy: Treat 77,000–79,000 as a dollar-cost averaging observation zone; if it breaks through 81,000 and then retests without breaking down, add more; if it breaks below 77,000, look at 74,000 before reassessing. Avoid full positions, no leverage, and don’t follow group chat pump calls. BTC’s sense of humor is that it doesn’t promise to make you rich next week, but every time macro liquidity loosens a bit, it lifts its head before bank fixed deposits do. Treat it as "digital gold for workers" rather than a lottery ticket, and you’ll sleep better. $BTC The valuation logic of the crypto market is undergoing a fundamental change — gradually shifting from hype around concepts to focusing on revenue❗️💹 Bitwise's Chief Investment Officer put it bluntly: "Nowadays, except for $BTC, the value of crypto assets is increasingly measured by the same standards as stocks and bonds: revenue." There are several turning points here: First, regulatory easing. The SEC lost the Ripple case, and with the new chairman in office, tokens distributing revenue to holders are no longer considered "illegal securities offerings." Second, the decentralized exchange Hyperliquid uses 97% of its fee income to repurchase and burn $HYPE on the secondary market. Over the past year, the protocol's revenue was $871 million, with a market cap of $13.46 billion, a valuation multiple of 15x. Grayscale also listed the 15 highest-revenue on-chain protocols; $PUMP generated $459 million in revenue, with a market cap of $456 million, a valuation multiple close to 1x. Many crypto assets with substantial revenue have valuation multiples even in the single digits. Institutional price targets: Bernstein expects $150,000 by year-end, Standard Chartered $100,000, and possibly up to $250,000. BTC has no cash flow and is not suitable for traditional P/E valuation. It follows the "digital gold" path — priced based on scarcity, decentralization, and macro hedge narratives $BTC #BTC高位多空拉锯，黄金联动增强 $SOLBTC is now just above 78,000, still quite a distance from last year's high of 126,000 on October 12, and it has been declining this year. The strong performance in August was mainly driven by ETFs and short squeeze; the fundamentals have not immediately turned bullish. Short-term forecast: September will most likely fluctuate between 73,000 and 83,000, waiting for macroeconomic news. If September closes above 80,000, the probability of reaching 90,000–100,000 in the fourth quarter will significantly increase. At this stage, it is more suitable to build positions gradually rather than chasing highs. $BTC The biggest feature of the A-share market in the past month is "intense competition," stuck around 3300 points without breaking through, with volume shrinking every day. Sector rotation is ridiculously fast; it’s AI in the morning, then switches to new energy in the afternoon, chasing in just leads to losses. One consumer sector leader I hold heavily exceeded expectations in the mid-year report, but ended up opening high and closing low, directly tanking. After spending time in the stock market, you realize that in this zero-sum game, liquidity is king. Looking at the crypto space, the situation is similar but also different; $BTC has been sideways near 60,000 USD for almost three weeks. Volatility is suppressed very low, but on-chain data shows whales quietly accumulating, somewhat like the calm before the storm. My stock trading experience tells me that after extremely low volume, there’s usually a directional choice; both stock and crypto markets are waiting for a turning point. Don’t bet heavily before the direction is clear, or you’ll get hit from both sides. Now I only keep a base position in stocks, watching the exchange rate changes of $ETH and $SOL. Remember, the core principle in a choppy market is summed up in four words: survival first. Wait for volume signals before considering entering on the right side; don’t always try to buy at the lowest point. In this market, minimizing losses is equivalent to making a profit.Key Focus: September rate hike expectations heat up again | BTC supports $78,000 | ETH capital relay | September 13 crypto ETF approval window | CLARITY Act | Friday Nonfarm Payroll | NVDA and US Treasuries The last trading day of August was not an ordinary Monday, but a real beginning of policy and macro validation after a strong rally. Core Analysis: BTC surged from about $64,000 in early August to near $81,200, with a monthly gain of over 20%; ETH performed even stronger, surging from about $1,900 to around $2,550 within the month. The core driving force behind the market rally over the past month was the return of ETF funds, policy expectations, and risk appetite. But entering September, the market environment began to change. At the Jackson Hole annual meeting, Fed Chair Warsh clearly prioritized anti-inflation policies and stated that if it cannot confirm that potential inflation continues to return to 2%, the Fed still has work to do. The market quickly repriced it. CME data shows the probability of a FOMC rate hike in September rose from about 35% to about 56%, the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield climbed to about 4.72%, and both US stocks and BTC came under pressure. This means the trading logic for September has changed: August traded "policy shift + liquidity improvement + ETF funding," while September began trading whether inflation can continue to fall, whether the Fed will raise rates again, and whether high-valuation risk assets can be absorbed furtherIn the past 24 hours, the crypto market saw a total liquidation of $346 million. Compared to the previous 474 million liquidation, this wave is not historic, but the trigger for this round of decline is completely different from previous contract trading and liquidations. On the morning of August 31, the market suddenly plunged, triggered by geopolitical news. External risk sentiment quickly spread to the crypto world, directly causing a sharp market plunge and many positions being swept out before reacting. Looking at the data, the bulls suffered the most. 1. Long positions liquidated $248 million, short positions $97.61 million, with long positions accounting for over 70%, and investors chasing high prices becoming the main force in this liquidation. 2. By currency, BTC liquidations amounted to about $73.28 million, ETH liquidations reached $100 million, with the two major mainstream coins bearing most of the selling pressure. 3. Concentrated liquidations Within just one hour, the total liquidation reached $180 million, with 173 million in long positions being liquidated. The rapid crowding caused market volatility to be greatly amplified. Many people think this is another round of internal capital strangling each other, but the starting point of this round of decline is external news shock. This kind of geodynamic-driven market is the hardest to predict. Without technical indicators to warn in advance, the market is calm one moment ago, but once a piece of news drops, high-leverage positions are instantly destroyed. This also serves as a lesson for all contract participants. Technical aspects and indicators can be referenced, but they can never counter sudden external black swan events. No matter how perfect your chart analysis is, sudden news can be triggered directlyTonight's monthly candle closes, two sets of numbers side by side. First set: August +24% ($62.7k → $81.5k). Second set: Above 80k only held for 1 night, current price $77.9k (already below 78k). I don't chase intraday fluctuations, waiting for the close structure. August rose the whole month, but the key level only held for one night. Early month $62.7k, mid-month touched $81.5k, monthly increase +24% (21/31 bullish days). But out of 31 trading days, only 1 day closed above 80k. Current price $77.9k, -4.5% from the monthly high, already below 78k. A big rise ≠ holding steady. This is why tonight's monthly candle close is very important. Close above $80.0k → August's rise has structural support, September starts bullish, extending to $82.0k. Close below $78.0k → rose for a month but 80k is a false breakout, September should first guard against pullback, support at $75.0k. I don't bet on current sentiment, I bet on tonight's close. The market is also saying "wait for confirmation." Perpetual OI down 10% in 7 days (deleveraging), funding rate +0.007% (not hot), spot volume 0.7x. In the past week BTC -2%, but SOL +6—the market is sideways, high beta still holding, but I won't chase before BTC structure confirms. Answering the title—false breakout or new starting point? My judgment: depends on tonight's close.The early morning public strategy was realized as expected, with the market rebounding to 4472 before facing pressure and declining, steadily pulling back in a single direction within the 36 key intervals. No reliance on luck in trading; understanding the technical structure and key resistance allows every step in and out to be clear and composed. #沃什强调通胀风险，9月加息预期升温 $XAU $SNDK previously experienced a violent market surge driven by concentrated funds rapidly pushing it up in the short term, but from its historical peak, it directly entered a cliff-like crash with zero support, with an overall retracement exceeding 99%.

Currently, the market has not undergone multiple rounds of sufficient turnover, and the risk of blindly entering to bet on a reversal has already reached an extremely high level Recently, the somewhat hawkish remarks by Fed's Waller have stirred the entire market, quickly heating up expectations for a rate hike in September. The two-year US Treasury yield surged significantly. Interestingly, many bond institutions remain skeptical and do not believe the Fed will actually raise rates. The reason is simple: Waller has previously shown a pattern of "talking tough but acting steady." In June, he expressed the need to strictly control inflation, but at the July FOMC meeting, the Fed chose to hold steady without a rate hike and failed to provide a reasonable explanation, causing long-term bond yields to spike. Having learned from this, institutions are now taking a wait-and-see approach, believing that verbal hawkishness alone is not enough; ultimately, it depends on economic data. Asset management institutions generally believe that even if the rhetoric is hawkish, if employment and inflation data decline, a September rate hike is very likely to be off the table. Goldman Sachs also warned of risks: if the Fed again does not hike in September and the explanation is vague, the US Treasury market could experience a sharp shock similar to July. Simply put, we are now in a phase of "hawkish talk, market skepticism." The core anchor for the final decision will be the upcoming economic data releases, which will also indirectly affect the performance of risk assets such as crypto and US stocks. Key data points in September: 1. September 5: US August Nonfarm Payrolls report 2. September 11: US August CPI inflation data 3. September 26: US August PCE Price Index (the Fed's most watched inflation indicator) 4. September 17-18: Fed FOMC meeting, announcing interest rate decision We can closely watch these time windows. The strength or weakness of the data will determine whether the Fed will raise rates or not. Also Last week we were still discussing rate cuts, today the probability of a rate hike has risen to 57%: Why can BTC still hold 77,000? The most unusual thing in today's market is not that $BTC fell, but that despite so many negative factors weighing down, it still hasn't broken below the previous low. Wash reiterated at Jackson Hole that the 2% inflation target cannot be shaken. In CME pricing, the probability of a 25 basis point rate hike in September has risen from 39.9% a week ago to about 57%. At the same time, BTC spot ETFs ended their continuous inflows, with a net outflow of over $200 million in the latest trading day. The normal scenario would be a stronger dollar expectation and a collective pullback of risk assets. As a result, BTC only fell back from around 79,100 at midnight to about 77,700, and the previous 76,800 level still hasn't been broken. The real first to give way are the high Beta assets: $ETH dropped to around 2,417, a decline of over 2.5%; $SOL returned to around 102, a drop of over 4%. Funds are indeed withdrawing, but it currently looks more like a contraction from high volatility assets back to BTC, rather than a full exit from the crypto market. So I won't directly consider 77,000 as the starting point of a crash now. Holding 76,800 means the rate hike negative factors are still insufficient to break through support; retaking 79,400 means bears should be cautious as the news might have already been priced in. Only a volume-driven break below 76,800 would mean the pressure of rate repricing truly hits the price, with the next target around 75,500. #沃什强调通胀风险，9月加息预期升温 #BTC高位多空拉锯，黄金联动增强 In the past, Solana became the core market for Memecoin trading for a simple reason: cheap, fast, and low operational barriers. In contrast, Ethereum mainnet's past Gas costs and transaction experience were not friendly to small fund traders. But Robinhood Chain is trying to change that. It is built on the Ethereum ecosystem while offering lower costs, faster transaction experiences, and uses ETH as an important asset in the network ecosystem. Robinhood's official team is currently promoting this chain as the infrastructure for tokenizing real-world assets and Stock Tokens. More interestingly, Memecoin has already become one of the earliest and most active applications on Robinhood Chain. After launching in July this year, the network once reached about 3.6 million daily transactions and approximately $312 million TVL. However, currently, Memecoin and stablecoin activities on the chain clearly exceed those of tokenized stocks themselves. 🔥 What is truly worth noting is the new gameplay: You can not only trade Memecoin. The market is now beginning to try combining Memecoin with tokenized stock liquidity, such as: 📈 $NVDA 📈 $TSLA 📈 $INTC 📈 and other US stock assets Traders can participate in both crypto assets and tokenized stock markets on the same chain. This means Robinhoo Japan's Bitcoin vault company Metaplanet transferred 800 bitcoins into Coinbase Prime, possibly preparing for sale According to TradingBeats monitoring, Metaplanet, Japan's largest Bitcoin treasury, transferred 800 Bitcoins to Coinbase Prime on August 31, possibly planning to sell them. Metaplanet is Japan's largest Bitcoin vault company, and its holdings have long attracted attention from the crypto market. The 800 Bitcoins transferred this time are worth tens of millions of dollars at current prices, and transferring them to exchanges is usually seen as a preparatory move before selling. On-chain monitoring data from TradingBeats (formerly Hyperinsight) revealed this operation, but it has not yet been confirmed whether the actual selling has occurred. Metaplanet has previously increased its Bitcoin holdings multiple times, and this transfer contrasts with previous buying activities, possibly reflecting adjustments in asset allocation or partial profit-taking. The event itself signals that institutions have liquidity needs at Bitcoin peaks or specific points in time. Market Impact: Potential selling pressure: cryptocurrencies - BTC (Bitcoin): Metaplanet transferred 800 BTC to Coinbase Prime. If actually sold, it would increase market supply, put pressure on Bitcoin's short-term price, and may affect market sentiment. This operation is a change in institutional positions. Although 800 Bitcoins account for a limited proportion of BTC spot daily trading volume,$ZEC holdings surged by 11.86%, and it's important to distinguish whether this is driven by spot buying or by contract longs and shorts competing internally; Lookonchain's observation of large on-chain transfers shows no massive whale accumulation, mostly short-term speculative funds. $SOL: While OI steadily rises, DefiLlama's TVL also climbs in sync, with on-chain activity matching the derivatives market heat, indicating a resonance between capital and fundamentals, making it much more reliable than ZEC. $DOGE increased only slightly by +0.68% in 24h, with low liquidation amounts; the meme coin has not yet entered a collective frenzy and is only suitable for short-term quick in-and-out trades. Strategy: Strict stop-loss is essential when speculating on ZEC's privacy narrative; SOL can be watched for dips to buy; DOGE should not be held long-term. #嘉信理财拟新增SOL、AVAX与LINK #马斯克回应大摩，3.5万亿美元营收或提前七年 #BTC高位多空拉锯，黄金联动增强 Wash Jackson Hole directly hawkish: PCE is still at 3.7%, the underlying trend has no substantial improvement, the 2% target is a hard constraint, and financial conditions are not tight. The probability of a rate hike in September has surged from about 30% to around 60%. This is not just talk; he is establishing credibility. If the data is weak, a move in September is really possible. The dollar strengthens, risk assets come under pressure, and don't expect liquidity to ease immediately on the crypto side. Inflation won't bow down, so rates are hard to cut. Trading should follow hawkish pricing first. #沃什强调通胀风险，9月加息预期升温 #$BTC 8.31 Morning Commentary Geopolitical resurgence meets hawkish pricing, watch the mid-range of 4455 and wait for boundaries Short term: rate hike repricing + 151,315 contracts creating an 11-month high crowded net long + SPDR three-day high-level reduction; Mid term: central bank gold purchases of 345 tons in the first half, China's 21 consecutive increases, South Korea restarting, $3 billion net inflow into ETFs in July. Plus, three dense repricing windows: 9/4 Nonfarm Payrolls, 9/11 CPI, 9/15-16 FOMC — this determines that now is not the time to place heavy bets, but to wait for prices to come to you. Execution conclusion: HOLD current price, place orders waiting for boundaries Go long at 4400-4425 (mid-term structure + central bank buying odds optimal zone), light short at 4509-4538 (short-term momentum + crowding hedge), execute one of the two; if it breaks below 4392 or rises back above 4550, corresponding plan is invalid. Exposure before Nonfarm should not exceed 2%. Current price 4455 is in the middle of the 4412-4520 range, no odds for chasing long or short, wait for boundaries to act. Operation strategy (Trend-following low long): Long at 4400-4425, stop loss 4390, target 4455-4490, break above watch 4509. (Rebound short): Short at 4509-4538, stop loss 4555, target 4431-4435. $XAU The three main drivers behind this pullback: · The lingering impact of Warsh: After the Federal Reserve Chair's hawkish remarks, the market is still digesting expectations of a rate hike in September · $6.4 billion options settlement: Last Friday BTC options expired, causing short-term speculative funds to exit and amplifying volatility · Real technical resistance: The 200-day moving average at 78,670 repeatedly suppresses price breakthroughs, and on-chain data shows a dense supply zone of 975,000 BTC above 83,000 #沃什强调通胀风险，9月加息预期升温 The capital flow of the US spot Bitcoin ETF has finally changed. After nine consecutive trading days of net inflows, on August 28, BTC spot ETFs saw net outflows of about $200 million, ending the previous multi-day inflow trend. Meanwhile, $ETH ETFs remain strong, attracting about $100 million in inflows in a single day, further extending the inflow period. What could this mean? 👀 🟠 The first possibility: BTC short-term profit-taking $BTC previously briefly climbed back above $80,000. ETF outflows after a rapid rise do not necessarily mean institutions have turned bearish; it may simply be some funds locking in profits. Recently, $BTC has fallen from its high to the $77,000–$79,000 range, and the market is seeking direction again. 🔵 Second possibility: Funds starting to rotate to ETH While BTC ETFs cool down, ETH ETFs still receive ongoing financial support. This means some institutional funds may start to pay attention: ⚡ $ETH Potential recovery 🏦 of relative valuation 📈 ETH/BTC Diversification 🔥 of institutional allocations Funds spreading from BTC to mainstream altcoins However, I will not yet directly conclude this is a comprehensive "BTC → ETH major rotation." More noteworthy is whether short-term outflows from BTC ETFs will continue to expand, and whether ETH ETFs can maintain continuous net inflows.Behind the $390 million liquidation: The technical side had already revealed its hand, but too many chose to ignore it In the past 24 hours, the total liquidation amount across all contracts hit $390 million, nearly 100,000 traders were completely wiped out by the market. You might think this is just another routine fluctuation in the crypto market? After reviewing the liquidation timing distribution and long-short structure, it’s clear this is not a simple long-short game; it’s a targeted harvest orchestrated by excessive leverage crowding and key technical levels breaking. The most striking point is that liquidations were almost entirely squeezed into the last 4 hours—$210 million liquidated in 4 hours, with longs accounting for $200 million, over 95%. This means the price broke through several support levels in a very short time, and the long stop-loss orders piled below fell like dominoes. Looking at the 24-hour long-short liquidation ratio, $270 million to $120 million, long losses are more than twice those of shorts. This indicates that before the crash, the market was overwhelmingly bullish, funding rates stayed positive for a long time, and retail investors along with some institutions were adding leverage at highs, waiting for the price to break previous highs. When the direction reversed, these same-side positions, lacking sufficient counterparties, became the softest targets. The largest single liquidation was on Aster-ETH, $6.12 million, likely a professional player or market maker forced out, reminding everyone: even the smartest money can’t withstand insufficient liquidity and excessive leverage. Looking at BTCUSDT candlesticks, the price is hovering around $77,743, with intraday volatility over 3%, between a high of $79,388 and a low of $76,916, a clear short-term range. The moving average system signals are even more intriguing: EMA169 is now at $77,736, and the price just broke below this key level; EMA172 and EMA144 at $78,290 and $78,028 respectively have formed resistance above. This shows the short-term bullish trend is completely broken; any rebound to the $78,000–$78,300 area will be crushed by selling pressure. More worrisome are the long-term EMAs: EMA676 and EMA576 at $71,620 and $72,445, indicating 6% to 8% more downside space. If the price can’t hold around $76,900, the next target is directly around $72,000. Meanwhile, the MACD indicator’s DIF line is -35.1, DEA is 97.8, and the histogram is at -265.8, expanding after a death cross with no sign of convergence, indicating bearish momentum is far from exhausted. 24-hour volume is 55,600 BTC, with a turnover of 4.3 billion USDT; volume-driven decline means selling pressure is real, not a low-volume drop. Funds buying the dip might just be fueling the rebound. On the sentiment side, there’s a detail worth pondering: the chart clearly shows Michael Saylor posted “We're Ba.”, implying MicroStrategy remains bullish on Bitcoin, yet the market didn’t buy it and continued dropping from the $79,000 level. This once again confirms the old rule—when the most steadfast bullish leader publicly shouts a call, it often means the short-term counterparties are gone, and the market is prone to reverse. This is not conspiracy theory; it’s a natural law in liquidity games. For spot holders, now you must closely watch the $76,900 to $77,000 support; if volume shrinks and it stabilizes, you can hold, but if it breaks down with volume, reduce positions quickly. For contract traders, whether shorting or bottom-fishing is passive now; a safer approach is to wait for a rebound to the $78,200–$78,500 area to look for short signals, or wait for a volume breakout above $79,400 before considering right-side entry. The most important lesson from this liquidation, where longs lost $200 million in 4 hours, is: even if you’re right on direction, too much leverage and no stop-loss will still cause you to fall before dawn. The market always teaches risk lessons with real money; what we must do is not predict when the next storm will come, but ensure our positions can withstand any unexpected turbulence. The $390 million liquidation is not the end, but the beginning of leverage structure rebalancing. View every drop rationally; it’s both damage and a foundation for future opportunity. May your positions always have room to breathe. $BTC #BTC高位多空拉锯，黄金联动增强 📰 【Biden Urges Bank of Japan to "Do the Right Thing" on Monetary Policy】 BlockBeats reports that on August 31, U.S. Treasury Secretary Biden stated he expects Bank of Japan Governor Ueda Kazuo to "do the right thing" regarding monetary policy. When asked if the Bank of Japan should consider consecutive rate hikes to address the weak yen, Biden said, "I'm not going to tell them what to do. What I want to say is that I do believe we may have reached the end of Abenomics. Abenomics is a policy aimed at promoting reflation." Biden is expected to meet with Ueda Kazuo during the two-day G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors meeting in Asheville, North Carolina, on Monday. Biden made these remarks as the yen-dollar exchange rate fell below 160, following Japan's intervention a month ago... The yen has depreciated again to 160, and Biden said Abenomics has run its course. This sounds like a warning about global liquidity. Historically, every time yen carry trades loosen, the crypto market is the first to get drained, and on-chain stablecoin liquidity might suffer as well. Don't just focus on meme coins; first, watch the macroeconomic signals. Do you think this round of yen weakness will have a big impact on on-chain funds? 👇👇👇 $BTC $ETH $BNB 十多年前，美元在全球外汇储备中的占比仍接近 60%以上，而黄金的占比相对有限。 如今，各国央行正在加速推动储备资产多元化。美元依然是全球最重要的储备货币，但黄金正在重新成为央行资产配置中的核心选择。 值得关注的是，世界黄金协会此前对 2026年第一季度的数据进行修订：最初公布的央行净购金约 244吨，后续部分需求被重新归类为场外交易等类别。无论最终统计如何变化，全球央行持续增加黄金配置的长期趋势依然没有改变。 与此同时，市场对美元长期购买力、美国财政压力以及全球货币体系的讨论正在升温。近期市场也出现了更多关于“去美元化”和储备资产多元化的声音。 黄金的优势很简单： 🟡 没有主权发行方 🟡 全球认可 🟡 历史悠久的价值储存工具 但问题来了：如果黄金代表传统时代的中立储备资产，那么比特币会不会成为数字时代的新选择？ ⚡ 总量固定 🌍 全球24小时可交易 🔐 没有中央发行机构 📱 可以跨境自由转移 当然，$BTC 目前的波动性仍然远高于黄金，因此短期内很难取代黄金或美元的储备地位。 但从黄金重新受到全球资本和机构关注，到比特币逐渐进入传统金融体系，一个趋势正在变得越来越清晰： 未Common Reasons for Token Delisting on Exchanges & Background of CORE Delisting ⚠️ Risk Warning: The following are public rules and objective market analysis, not investment advice. Binance has not issued a separate special announcement for the CORE delisting; it was a decision made as part of a regular asset review. I. Eight Core Evaluation Dimensions for Token Delisting by Exchanges (Binance) Binance regularly reviews all listed assets and initiates delisting if standards are not met, mainly considering: 1. Team Commitment and Involvement: Whether the team continuously maintains the project and actively responds to exchange due diligence inquiries. ​ 2. Development Activity: Whether GitHub code updates, roadmap implementation, and technical iterations continue. ​ 3. Trading Volume and Liquidity: Long-term trading decline and poor order book depth often lead to delisting; poor liquidity causes slippage and dump risks for ordinary users. ​ 4. Network Security and Stability: Public chain network failures, contract vulnerabilities, frequent security incidents. ​ 5. Transparency and Community Communication: Whether the project team promptly discloses information and responds positively to major community issues. ​ 6. Compliance Risks: Changes in local regulatory policies and the presence of securities classification risks. ​ 7. Token Economic Risks: Unreasonable token issuance, large-scale unlocking and selling, major issues in the token model. ​ 8. Presence of Fraud, Market Manipulation, or Other Unethical Behaviors. ⚠️ Key Point: Delisting ≠ project death; public chain nodes can still operate; however, it means losing liquidity from top exchanges, making it much harder for ordinary users to liquidate, and severely damaging market confidence. II. Comprehensive Market Interpretation of Binance’s CORE Delisting Binance did not provide a separate reason for CORE’s delisting; it was the result of batch reviews. The community generally believes it is due to multiple overlapping factors: 1. Continuous Decline in Market Liquidity CORE had very high early popularity, but subsequent trading volume continuously shrank, and trading depth was insufficient, failing to meet exchange liquidity standards. Top exchanges need to ensure sufficient order book depth to protect ordinary traders. ​ 2. Community Dissatisfaction with Project Communication Many holders reported that after the delisting event, the project leadership did not issue targeted crisis responses and continued technical development at the original pace, lacking reassurance and explanations to the community. Community communication and transparency are important evaluation criteria in exchange reviews. ​ 3. Token Selling Pressure and Narrative Falling Short of Expectations The project’s early grand narrative as a "Bitcoin mining derivative public chain" did not meet market expectations in terms of ecosystem implementation and real user growth; large amounts of early tokens unlocked continuously exert selling pressure, causing prolonged price weakness and eroding community faith. ​ 4. The Public Chain Project’s Own Realistic Difficulties CORE belongs to the public chain sector, which is highly competitive and requires sustained ecosystem, DApp, and real user support; if ecosystem growth stagnates, even if the chain can still run, the exchange will judge it as lacking value.On the last day of August, the market reminded me once again: ETF funds are important, but using them directly to predict the next day's rise or fall can easily lead to losses. From August 24 to 28, the net inflow of US spot BTC ETFs was about $925 million, and ETH ETFs about $816 million. However, on the last trading day Friday, BTC ETFs turned to a net outflow of $202 million, while ETH still had a net inflow of $102 million. This morning on OKX, BTC was around $77,600, down 1.5% in 24 hours; ETH was about $2,417, down 2.6%. Despite stronger capital flow into ETH, its price was weaker. So today, I’m first watching two things after the US market opens: whether ETF flows can continue, and whether ETH can stop its weakness relative to BTC. Until both signals improve together, I won’t chase gains just because “institutions are buying.” ETF data can lag sometimes, and the market is also affected by leverage and liquidity. Data: Farside, OKX. Personal record, not investment advice. $BTC $ETH There has never been a sustained one-sided strong market trend in September-October of any midterm election year; the only difference is the magnitude of the pullback. When the market is mild, there is a slight pullback of 3%-8%; When the market is fragile and macro pressures are present, there will be a deep phased pullback of over 15%. Many retail investors wonder: why is it that in the midterm election years, market volatility systematically amplifies specifically in September and October? Breaking down two underlying core logics, all are institutional consensus-level macro principles, with no subjective speculation: First, the policy uncertainty premium of the midterm elections. The U.S. midterm elections will rewrite the power structure of both houses of Congress, directly affecting subsequent fiscal policies, regulatory policies, and directions. Before the results are finalized, the entire market is in a policy vacuum period. All long-term funds will shrink risk exposure and reduce aggressive bets. Collective risk aversion of funds directly leads to a weakening of market bullish momentum, making oscillations and pullbacks a phased norm. Second, the widely recognized seasonal weakness effect of the U.S. stock market in September. In the century-long seasonal statistics of the U.S. stock market, September is the month with the worst average returns and the highest probability of negative returns. Behind this is a very fixed institutional behavior cycle: during summer, institutions take vacations and trading is light, with many risks temporarily set aside; every September, institutions return en masse, starting quarterly portfolio adjustments, coinciding with the phased redemption windows of public and private funds. Concentrated selling pressure, portfolio adjustments and stock replacements, and risk repricing—these three forces combined naturally suppress market trends #沃什强调通胀风险，9月加息预期升温 $BTC Market expectations for a 25 basis point rate hike by the Fed in September have recently heated up rapidly, with the futures market currently giving a probability of around 54%–57%. But I want to remind traders: a probability above 50% does not mean the outcome is certain. This simply means that the market currently believes the likelihood of a rate hike is slightly higher than keeping rates unchanged, rather than the Fed having already made a final decision. The latest news shows that after the Fed chair's hawkish speech, the market quickly repriced its September policy path, with rate hike expectations surging from about 36% to nearly 57%. However, upcoming U.S. employment data, inflation data, and changes in energy prices may once again alter market expectations. For $BTC, what really needs to be watched is not the "57%" figure, but rather: 📌 whether US employment data continues to weaken 📌, whether inflation is heating up again 📌, whether US Treasury yields keep rising 📌, and whether the dollar continues to strengthen. If future data supports stronger rate hike expectations, risk assets may come under pressure, and $BTC volatility could further expand. But if employment or inflation data fall short of expectations, the current hawkish pricing could be quickly corrected. The market is trading "possibilities," not "certainty." Don't blindly go long or short just because of a probability number. What really matters is whether the upcoming data will change the Fed's judgment #BTCGoldCorrelation #SchwabExpandsCrypto #AIS$HYPE Whale Position Observation At a glance, this is no longer an ordinary retail investor game; it's a super whale group arena. The top long position dominates alone, holding $116 million in long contracts, with a position gap leading the field, clearly a "dead long fortress." 1. This is not a simple long-short argument. The longs are lone wolves fighting solo, one wallet carrying the flag; the shorts are grouped, several big holders sharing the short positions. If the longs want to push the price up, they are not fighting a single opponent but an entire short camp; conversely, if the shorts want to crash the price, they must beware that this giant whale might directly absorb all selling pressure. 2. This kind of position structure is prone to two extreme scenarios: • Either the long funds are strong enough to forcibly blow up a bunch of shorts, triggering a short squeeze; • Or if the longs show signs of reducing positions or withdrawing funds, a group of shorts will collectively push the price down, and the stampede will come very fast. 3. There is a very realistic detail: the top long position is far ahead, but the volume of the following longs quickly diminishes. The 5th, 6th, and 9th largest long positions no longer have an advantage compared to the big short holders. The only truly capable long is actually that first address. In other words: the long side of this coin highly depends on a single whale. Once this big holder wavers, the long forces will collapse by more than half. The shorts use a pack of wolves tactic, while the longs are lone heroes. Once either side can’t hold, whether up or down, there will be big volatility, and those caught in the middle risk being hit by crossfire from both sides. In the past hour, during this slight pullback, Big Brother Maji had many positions liquidated, losing $1.5 million directly. After the market temporarily stopped falling, he is slowly replenishing his long positions. This is the fatal flaw of rolling high-leverage positions; the worst is this kind of back-and-forth choppy movement. The liquidation price is very close, so even a slight move triggers stop losses, repeatedly cutting positions, which rapidly consumes principal. The account balance visibly shrinks: previously there was $11 million, yesterday morning it was $8.8 million, and now only $6.5 million remains. Current positions: $100 million long ETH, plus $10 million long BTC. There are two possible scenarios ahead: If a one-sided upward trend emerges, he can recover and turn things around; If it falls back into choppy consolidation, frequent stop losses will continue, and the account will keep bleeding heavily. $BTC $ETH Even big players with high leverage can't withstand choppy markets, so don't blindly copy his trading style. 🚨 Wash says "interest rate hike," trying to scare BTC off? Don't rush. Wash emphasizes inflation risk, with expectations of a rate hike in September heating up, the crypto community's first reaction is simple: Dollar strengthens → risk assets under pressure → BTC gets hit short-term. But this feels more like a macro sentiment shock, not a sudden deterioration in BTC's fundamentals. More importantly, BTC is now less sensitive to such news than before. In 2021, similar news might have directly dropped BTC by 10%; now it's mostly a fluctuation within 5%, a quick dip, some leverage washout, then back to its own rhythm. Because the real core driver of this BTC cycle is increasingly institutional allocation + ETF capital flow, rather than retail guessing the Fed's next move daily. If it really falls to $58K–$60K due to macro panic, for those with cash and holding power, it might actually be a better spot opportunity. As for contract traders—this kind of news often causes a double whammy for longs and shorts. Reducing leverage or even staying out might be smarter than hard guessing. Wash's shout = short-term negative sentiment. If it really drops, look for opportunities. If it doesn't, don't chase. Instead of focusing on who said what, keep an eye on ETF capital flows, on-chain data, and BTC's real absorption strength. #DailyOrbit SK Hynix is considering outsourcing the foundry production of HBM4E base chips to Intel, marking a key step toward supply chain diversification SK Hynix is considering outsourcing part of the next-generation HBM (HBM4E) base chip production to Intel's foundry to replace the current single foundry pattern fully reliant on TSMC. This move aims to reduce supply chain concentration, enhance bargaining power, and improve cost competitiveness. HBM (High Bandwidth Memory) is constructed by vertically stacking multiple DRAM chips, with the base chip being a key component connecting the logic and memory layers. Currently, SK Hynix outsources the foundry of the base chip entirely to TSMC. According to industry analysts, SK Hynix is promoting a multi-vendor foundry strategy, planning for TSMC and Intel to jointly produce base chips for HBM4E, possibly starting from the seventh-generation HBM product HBM4E. Since HBM products are mainly covered by long-term supply agreements (LTA), SK Hynix finds it difficult to pass on the rising foundry costs through direct price increases. Introducing Intel as a second supplier not only reduces dependence on TSMC but also provides greater flexibility in cost negotiations and supply stability. This news reflects that the AI computing power core hardware supply chain is undergoing structural adjustments, and the diversification trend in HBM production, as a key supporting component of AI chips, is worth attention. Market impact: Direct beneficiaries: semiconductor foundries - INTC (Intel): If it secures SK Hynix's HBM4E base chip orders, it will significantly boost its foundry business revenue and market position, which is a positive for IntelA reminder: absolutely avoid heavy long positions at this level, as risks are quietly accumulating. BTC current price is 77800, it looks like it won't fall, but actually the resistance at 78400 is very strong, several attempts to break through have failed, which is a typical weak rebound pattern. What's worse is that interest rate hike expectations are rising, and risk assets could get hit hard again at any time. Once the 77300 support breaks, 77000 won't hold at all, heading straight to 76916 or even 76000. Those chasing longs will get wiped out. My painful lesson losing 200,000 U was betting heavily on direction at such an indecisive level, and a single bearish candle buried everything. Now I open a position with 5000 U, lightly probing: before 77300 breaks, small positions can try to catch a rebound, stop loss at 76900, target 78000 then exit; decisively short at 78400 resistance, stop loss 78900, targets 77300 and 77000. Never hold positions without stop loss, and never exceed a position size that lets you sleep peacefully. If it really breaks, don't hesitate; slow exits just provide liquidity for others. Survive first, opportunities come every day, but if your principal is gone, you have nothing. $BTC #马斯克回应大摩，3.5万亿美元营收或提前七年 #Moonwell与Avici接连出险，链上应用风控受审视 After the incident, Moonwell lowered the borrowing limit of all core markets on Base to 1 wei, effectively shutting down the lending function; Avici promised a full refund to 1,685 affected users, totaling about $500,000. The right actions were taken, but all were remedial. Risk control for on-chain applications cannot rely solely on "whether the code has vulnerabilities." Moonwell's code had no vulnerabilities, but the oracle-dependent market could be manipulated; Avici's contract logic was fine, but the permission architecture could be abused. The attacker did not change the code but used an operation path that the system designers assumed "would not happen." This is not a technical issue but a governance issue—who approved putting MAMO on the collateral list, and who set Avici's upgrade permissions to single-signature. If these two issues are not resolved, the same attack pattern will come again with a low-liquidity token or a project with weak contract constraints.BTC breaks below $79K: Is capital really fleeing the market? $BTC breaks below $79K, $ETH faces pressure simultaneously, and crypto ETFs are also seeing capital outflows. As expectations for interest rate cuts cool down, overvalued assets begin to be repriced. But what truly deserves attention is the movement of capital on the other side. Storage chip stocks like $MU and $SNDK continue to attract market attention, and the logic behind this is not just emotional speculation—AI computing power expansion is continuously driving up demand for storage like HBM and NAND, and capital expenditure on AI infrastructure still has strong support. This creates an intriguing divergence: The crypto market is compressing valuations, while the AI industry chain is trading on real demand. If this trend continues, what might be happening in the market is not simply a "decline in risk appetite," but a deeper capital migration: From high-valuation, high-volatility assets to growth directions supported by performance, demand, and industrial logic. BTC's decline may just be superficial; what truly deserves observation is where the money is flowing. #沃什强调通胀风险，9月加息预期升温 #BTC高位多空拉锯，黄金联动增强 #嘉信理财拟新增SOL、AVAX与LINK 北京时间8月31日早间，山寨市场的核心变化不是“还有哪些币在上涨”，而是资金正在从板块扩散重新转向局部抱团。 $BTC 24小时下跌0.63%，$ETH 下跌1.65%，ETH再次弱于BTC；$SOL 跌幅扩大至3.36%，距离日内高点已经回撤5.47%。主流底座没有出现恐慌性破位，但对高风险资产的支撑明显减弱。 这意味着市场已经从此前的局部进攻，切换到偏防守的收缩阶段。当前并不适合看到涨幅榜就全面追高，更值得观察的是：哪些标的能够在大盘转弱时保留强势结构，哪些只是盘中脉冲后快速回落。 一、昨日扩散逻辑正在失效：DeFi只剩龙头独强 $UNI 仍然是高流动性标的中最醒目的存在，24小时上涨10.33%，成交额约2.52亿美元，相对BTC领先10.96个百分点。 但需要注意，UNI最高触及5.493，目前回落至5.126，距离日内高点约6.68%。上涨趋势尚未破坏，但已经从单边加速转入高位换手。 更重要的是，$AAVE 下跌2.05%、$ENA 下跌7.65%、$ONDO 下跌1.91%。此前可能形成的DeFi扩散并未延续，板块已经从“多个标的共同走强”退化为“UNI单点支撑”。 🟡 前几天市场还处在贪婪区间，恐惧贪婪指数来到61，市场情绪一路走高，很多人已经默认行情会无脑向上，杠杆也越开越大。 地缘消息突然落地，美伊冲突发酵，盘面没有给到缓冲，直接迎来一波回撤。 打开爆仓数据就能看见代价，24小时近9.6万人爆仓，总爆仓金额3.92亿，多单是重灾区，BTC、ETH大量多头被清洗，这一轮下跌，杀的就是短期追高的情绪盘。 五分钟级别资金大幅流出，大户带头离场，短期抛压集中释放，价格快速下挫。但拉长看ETF并没有出现恐慌性出逃，BTC、ETH现货ETF整体依旧保持净流入，机构并没有因为短期回调直接跑路。 指标层面已经出现变化，4小时RSI回落，从过热回到中性附近，AHR999回到定投区间。说明这一波，只是狂热情绪的降温，并非趋势直接反转。 清算热力图可以清晰看见，下跌过程下方存在密集挂单支撑，价格跌到对应位置后，空头动能开始衰减。 交易里最容易犯错的时刻，就是所有人情绪亢奋，你被行情推着去追高。 当贪婪指数走高，街上人人都在晒盈利，风险其实已经在悄悄积累。消息只是导火索，真正的根源，是场内堆积了太多高杠杆多头。 这一次下跌，给了所有人一堂课：上涨的时候不要被乐观吞没，行2026.8.31 ETH Intraday Analysis: Yesterday, ETH surged near 2535 but then fell back, continuing to decline and eventually breaking below 2500 and 2450. In the early hours today, the lowest point reached 2388. The price has now rebounded to around 2415 but still hasn't reclaimed the key moving averages. In the short term, it is basically considered a pullback. Currently, 2400 is the battleground between bulls and bears, with resistance for the rebound between 2423-2465. Therefore, don't rush to bottom-fish just because of the rebound from 2388 today. If 2400 holds, watch for a rebound; if 2465 is recovered, the structure is repaired; if 2388 breaks, continue to follow the bearish trend.
