June's position disclosures show funds flowing from high-volatility tech stocks to high cash flow defensive assets, with the core conflict being the lag in position data versus the valuation recovery of growth stocks.
Trump liquidated $META and increased holdings in $PLTR, Berkshire Hathaway, Visa, and Mastercard, indicating a shift of large capital from high-valuation preferences back to strong cash flow defensive assets. This position adjustment reflects market expectations of persistent inflation and declining risk appetite.
In the ranking of driving factors, contraction in macro risk appetite is first, followed by corporate cash flow robustness, with tech concept premium ability ranking last. Defensive value stocks demonstrate stronger defensive characteristics in the event risk transmission path.
The bullish scenario condition is a continued decline in market risk appetite, accelerating fund withdrawal from high-valuation sectors. It is necessary to observe the premium changes of value stocks relative to growth stocks; if low-valuation assets continue to receive inflows, the defensive rotation pattern will be further consolidated.
The bearish scenario condition is an improvement in liquidity expectations, with funds flowing back to high-beta assets. If high-volatility tech stocks experience sentiment recovery and volume rebound, retracing the June rebalancing record will face the risk of a second valuation fluctuation loss.
The condition for judgment failure is a rapid valuation reshaping of the tech sector, with funds regaining dominance, causing the relative returns of defensive rebalancing portfolios to lag significantly.
The most important observation variable in the next 7 days is the flow switching rhythm of funds between growth stocks represented by $META and defensive stocks represented by $PLTR.
#ETH触及2500美元后震荡 #Anthropic拟8月底公开IPO文件，募资或追平SpaceX #美财政部扩大长债回购，30年美债高位回落$ETH surges to 2500: Is the ticket to 3000 held by the whales?
As of August 23, 2026, ETH touched $2542 before retreating to around $2388, a 27% surge in five days. 2500 has been trampled underfoot, but is the ticket to 3000 in hand?
If the 2300 support holds, 2500-2550 will become the new attack target. However, over ten million ETH tokens are stacked near 3000, forming a "sell pressure wall" that cannot be underestimated. Currently, it looks more like a valuation correction rather than a trend reversal.
On-chain signals are optimistic: ETFs have seen net inflows of about $512 million over four consecutive days, the best this year; old coin holders are reluctant to sell, with coin age consumption indicators running low; $1.69 billion shorts were cleared in three days; large funds are planning portfolio adjustments mainly through OTC platforms, with no signs of panic selling.
But hidden dangers remain: RSI approaches 87, indicating deep overbought conditions; USDT has shrunk by about $4 billion over sixty days, signaling liquidity withdrawal; the SEC regulatory framework is still in the proposal stage, with high policy uncertainty.
Institutional target prices diverge significantly—Citibank’s $2240 has been surpassed, Standard Chartered looks at 4000, Tom Lee sees 5000. The market is shifting from a "technical narrative" to an "institutional narrative."
Key price levels: support at 2300 → 2172 → 2000; resistance at 2500-2550 → 2750 → 3000.
Whales are buying but never chase the rally—the market always rewards patience and punishes impulsiveness.
#BTC冲高后震荡，ETF资金持续流入 $BTC Sell orders stacked around $80,000 for $BTC essentially represent a test of endurance between bulls and bears.
From the composition of sell orders, three clear sources of selling pressure are visible: Strategy positions have an average cost of $75,385, with profit-taking intentions increasing as the price rises to this level; the average cost basis from the previous cycle is about $77,700, where trapped positions' desire to break even creates resistance; listed mining companies have mining cash costs ranging from $76,000 to $80,000, and the closer to $80,000, the stronger their willingness to liquidate.
On the buy side, net inflows from ETFs, institutional buying support, and short liquidations are the main forces driving the bulls currently.
Whether the sell wall can be broken depends on whether the bullish buying can continuously absorb the selling pressure. If ETF funds keep flowing in and institutional buying keeps pace, the sell orders will be gradually absorbed; otherwise, if driven only by short liquidations, once liquidations are exhausted and real demand is insufficient, the sell wall will form substantial resistance.
Currently, Bitcoin has retreated from last Friday's high of $79,500 to about $76,600, with the RSI having previously reached a seven-year high and now entering a correction and digestion phase. The $80,000 sell wall is a key level to judge the nature of this rebound— a breakout with volume indicates selling pressure is effectively absorbed, while a volume-reduced pullback indicates insufficient real buying.
#BTC冲高后震荡，ETF资金持续流入 $ETH Sunday market basically flatlined. BTC hovered around 77,000 all day, peaking just above 77,200 and never dropping below 76,900. The daily volatility was even less than some hours last week. ETH fluctuated between 2,400 and 2,450 in that range. SOL was just above 90, showing the same pattern. Weekend liquidity is thin, so prices neither rise nor fall. Days like this are perfect for clearing last week's gains. To conclude, BTC's 22% weekly surge last week has mostly been digested. The market is now waiting for the next catalyst, not holding back a big move. Where will that next catalyst come from? Today, I want to talk about money itself. On August 20, the US spot Bitcoin ETF saw a net inflow of $606 million, and the Ethereum spot ETF had $221 million. The next day, combined trading volume exceeded $7.5 billion. The numbers look impressive, but there was another news item the same week: Hashdex's DeFi spot Bitcoin ETF was suspended and liquidated on NYSE Arca on August 17 due to small scale and poor liquidity. On one hand, there's a flood of capital; on the other, small ponds run dry. Both events happened in the same sector in the same week. So ETFs are never a story of broad gains; they are a winner-takes-all game. Money only flows to the top three. Products ranked eighth or ninth, even if perfectly positioned, still can't survive. This is a bit like the dating market—everyone says they're looking for true love, but... $AAOI disclosed an ATM equity sale plan with a cap of $600 million after market close.
After the initial stock price surge, management chose to exchange high-position chips for expansion funds, directly disturbing the risk appetite of long positions.
If the issuance expectation triggers capital risk aversion and position reduction, short-term price elasticity will be significantly suppressed.
If subsequent AI optical communication order release strength is sufficient to offset equity dilution, there is still room for valuation logic recovery.
Focus on observing the actual absorption strength of potential financing selling pressure through chip turnover after the market opens.
#黄金突破4600美元，债券避险地位受挑战 #Anthropic拟8月底公开IPO文件，募资或追平SpaceXWeekend started with a rise then fell back, another flash crash occurred
On August 23, the cryptocurrency market continued its intense weekend volatility, marking the best weekly performance since March 2023. However, on Sunday the market turned to a correction, with Bitcoin $BTC falling below the $76,000 mark, hitting a low of $75,500 before rebounding above $77,000; Ethereum $ETH performed weaker, dropping over 5% to around $2,383.
Coinglass data shows that in the past 24 hours, liquidations across the network totaled $349 million, with long position liquidations at $205 million; other statistics indicate liquidation amounts as high as $995 million to $1.238 billion. Over 170,000 people worldwide were affected.
Reasons for the decline: leverage cascade + weekend liquidity drought
The main cause of this correction was not an external black swan event. In the previous three days, Bitcoin violently surged from about $64,000 to above $77,000, accumulating a large number of high-leverage long positions. When the price hit resistance and triggered an initial pullback, the crowded long positions triggered a chain of forced liquidations. Coupled with insufficient weekend liquidity and a thin order book, sell orders easily broke through multiple price levels, amplifying the "flash crash" drop. Additionally, profit-taking from earlier gains and geopolitical tensions also pressured risk assets.
Institutional activity: ETF funds continue to flow in
Despite the weekend correction, this week the US spot Bitcoin ETF saw a cumulative net inflow of $1.92 billion, and the Ethereum ETF net inflow was about $700 million, both the strongest weekly performances in recent months. Whether institutional funds continue to support the market remains a key variable to watch going forward. $BTC My short position is still open
As long as it doesn't break the new high, the problem isn't big
The current long-short ratio is severely imbalanced
Out of 5600 smart money traders, 4600 are long
The long side is already very crowded
Unrealized profits exceed $100 million
If these positions are not liquidated, it will be hard to rise
Before the explosive surge to 65000, I looked at the long-short ratio of $ETH
At that time, the number of shorts exceeded longs, and short positions were in profit
It can still be bullish afterward, but a drop to liquidate long positions is possible
The 64000 short position still has a chance to be unwound.

#英伟达AI服务器或涨价超15% #美国PMI创四年新高，9月加息分歧升温
"US PMI Hits Four-Year High, September Rate Hike Disagreements Heat Up"
US manufacturing PMI surged to 55.6, marking the fastest expansion rate in nearly four years.
Initial jobless claims dropped to 206,000, with a strong real economy directly extinguishing rate cut expectations.
Order output rebounded across the board combined with labor stickiness, prompting Federal Reserve officials to warn of a lack of basis for rate cuts.
Maintaining high interest rates for longer has become the consensus, putting pressure on tech valuations overly reliant on cheap liquidity.
The unwinding of rate cut premiums forces capital to flow back into hard cash flow assets; seasoned investors have long seen the reality.
Completely abandoning the fantasy of significant easing in September, growth positions are reduced to 20% with strict stop-loss at the Nasdaq 19500 level. $BTC Half a month ago, the entire network was anxiously discussing a "second dip," but this week institutions have firmly taught the shorts a lesson with a real cash injection of 2.6 billion USD.
Bitcoin spot ETFs grabbed 1.9 billion USD in a single week, while Ethereum ETFs simultaneously attracted nearly 700 million USD. The most alarming factor is not the sheer size of the numbers, but the cold and decisive shift in sentiment—without any buildup or buffer, one moment liquidity was frozen, and the next moment institutional-level clear buying swept through.
The key signal here is very clear: this is not a "risk-averse bloodletting" of a single major coin, but a resonant accumulation of BTC and ETH, indicating that institutions are systematically replenishing positions across the entire crypto market.
Big money never cares about buying at the absolute bottom; their core demand is to "ensure chips are in hand." The gloom of consecutive weeks of net outflows has been wiped away by this week's violent accumulation.
History is always strikingly similar—the real turning points often emerge amid despair and hesitation. When large volumes of capital enter, there is never any fanfare, nor do they offer a comfortable "pull back to pick up" opportunity for onlookers. The biggest risk now is no longer a breakdown or crash, but your obsession with "waiting for a pullback to enter" and ultimately being left behind by the main upward wave.

#现货ETF资金回流，BTC与ETH能否接力？
#以太坊草案EIP-8363引争议 Since the "1011 Flash Crash," fund inflows have hit a new high! Bitcoin spot ETFs attracted $1.9178 billion this week
The US $BTC spot ETF has finally delivered a report that allows the market to breathe a sigh of relief.
According to The Block data, Bitcoin spot ETFs saw a net inflow of about $1.9178 billion this week, marking the highest single-week record since October 2025 and the best weekly performance so far in 2026.
Overall capital conditions have warmed up: ETF weekly trading volume surged from $6.9 billion to $22.1 billion, an increase of over 219%; total net assets rose from $76.6 billion to $96.1 billion. BlackRock's IBIT contributed $503 million in a single day, firmly holding the title of "top capital attractor." Ethereum ETFs simultaneously saw a net inflow of $697.2 million, with the two combined attracting about $2.6 billion.
Triple drivers resonated: about $2.5 billion worth of Bitcoin shorts were liquidated, creating a short squeeze rally; Trump urged the passage of the CLARITY Act, boosting policy confidence; whales accumulated about $2.75 billion worth of Bitcoin over 60 days, ending the selling cycle.
But cautious reflection is necessary: so far in 2026, Bitcoin ETFs have still seen a cumulative net outflow of about $2.9 billion. This week was merely "stopping the bleeding," not "recovering the blood." How much real demand remains after the short squeeze subsides is the true test of the rebound's sustainability.
Wall Street's bandage has been applied, but true healing requires sustained inflows, not a one-day frenzy.

$ETH $ZEC $BTC $ETH crypto is stagnant, money is flowing into US stocks $SNDK
SNDK 1596 long position, 50x leverage, floating profit of 50 points, not closed yet.
Sandisk just released the world's first 8TB SD card, AI phone storage demand is fully triggered, Nvidia H200 is out of stock, storage chips are bound to rise.
The current market situation is very subtle.
Bitcoin is stuck below 77000, ETF inflows have continued at 1.9 billion, but futures trading volume has dropped 70%, indicating that the main players are waiting for direction.
Crypto is not rising, but US stocks are.
Before Nvidia's earnings report, AI chips are globally out of stock, H200 orders are booked until Q2 next year, institutional money is flowing to places with higher certainty.
I hold long positions in SNDK and NVDAX, betting on this logic.
Crypto's breakout requires rate cuts or new narratives, but now the rate cut expectation is gone, so funds can only flow into US stocks first.

#闪迪收涨逾8%，长期协议受关注 If Trump really reconciles with Iran and TACO afterward, gold and $BTC might experience a pattern of falling first and then rising.
Recently, gold, silver, and BTC have surged so quickly that I think part of this is actually trading on the fact that U.S. long-term Treasury yields can't be suppressed. The 30-year Treasury yield has remained very high, and Basent has started trying to intervene in long-term bonds again. Naturally, the market worries that if the U.S. ultimately refuses to let long-term yields continue rising, the pressure might gradually shift to the dollar and monetary credit. So recently, gold, silver, and BTC all carry a bit of a dollar depreciation trade flavor.
If Trump suddenly reconciles with Iran, oil prices are very likely to drop quickly first. After oil prices fall, inflation pressure will also ease significantly, and the 10-year and 30-year Treasury yields might no longer need to stay at such high levels. In this case, the market’s previous biggest concern—that long-term yields can’t be suppressed—would temporarily ease. The portion of the recent rise in gold, silver, and BTC driven by this logic might short-term give back some gains, so the immediate reaction to a true TACO might not be continued gains but rather a pullback. This would conveniently trigger a burst of high-leverage BTC longs.
However, I wouldn’t interpret this pullback as the end of the trend. Because if oil prices continue to decline afterward, inflation eases accordingly, and long-term yields keep moving down, that would actually be good news for gold $XAU and $BTC in the medium term.The biggest fear of self-custody is not problems on-chain, but thinking "offline means safe."
PANews reports that a vulnerability in the Coldcard hardware wallet led to the theft of over 1,500 BTC, with losses exceeding $100 million. The debate between open source and closed source has once again come to the forefront.
This incident is generally negative for hardware wallets and the self-custody narrative, but it is not negative for BTC's fundamentals. The key issue is not the on-chain protocol, but the security assumption behind wallet private key/mnemonic generation being broken.
For coin holders, having source code visible does not mean it has been thoroughly audited, let alone that funds are safe. Users still using Coldcard to generate single-signature wallets affected by this vulnerability should focus not on upgrading firmware, but on migrating to new wallet addresses as soon as possible.
In the short term, such incidents will weaken retail investors' confidence in self-custody, while custodial services and compliant entry points like BTC ETFs may actually benefit more.

#BTC #Crypto100W Fundstrat co-founder Tom Lee said on Thursday's Macro Minute that the first phase of AI trading is concentrated in upstream sectors such as semiconductors, storage, and infrastructure, with related targets having already surged significantly and entered a correction.
The market's focus is shifting downstream—to software and application layers, with ETH beginning to gain more attention.
Stablecoins, asset tokenization, institutional adoption, and future AI agents completing on-chain transactions form the fundamental narrative for ETH. Capital may be shifting from building infrastructure to holding the underlying assets that support these activities. Lee believes ETH's price has already started to show performance, but market positioning has not caught up, with most portfolios still not allocated to ETH.
ETH rose nearly 30% this week, BTC rose 26%, a 4 percentage point difference. Funds are flowing into ETH, whales are diverging, and the AI narrative is shifting downstream. All three directions point to Ethereum. But at the 2,500 level, the risk of chasing higher is also increasing. Wait for a pullback confirmation before making a move. $ETH From now until November, the US stock market and crypto will consecutively face several key events that could change market pricing. If you are preparing for the upcoming market phase, you must remember this timeline first. August 26｜NVIDIA Earnings Report The first shot is still NVIDIA $NVDA. NVIDIA has confirmed it will release its FY2027 Q2 earnings after the market closes on August 26. The biggest question about AI in the market has moved from "Is there demand for AI?" to the next step: With such massive capital expenditure, how fast can it continue to grow? Therefore, the important points this time are data center revenue, gross margin, next quarter guidance, and demand related to Blackwell/Rubin. If NVIDIA continues to provide strong guidance, AI, optical communications, storage, and servers could all see another round of valuation gains. If the earnings are very good but guidance starts to slow, be cautious about the post-earnings season realization. This night for NVIDIA could very well decide how the last phase of the tech stock rally at the end of August will go. September 4—11｜Nonfarm Payrolls, PPI, CPI Released Consecutively Then the market's focus will quickly shift from AI to macroeconomics. September 4: Nonfarm Payrolls September 10: PPI September 11: CPI This is the official schedule already released by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. These three data sets will directly affect the market's judgment on the September interest rate meeting. If employment continues to cool down and inflation remains moderate, US Treasury yields will have conditions to move downward, making tech stocks and crypto much more comfortable. If employment remains strong and inflation rebounds,BlackRock's Dual-Chain Deployment of Stablecoin Reserve Funds: The Land Rent Battle Between Ethereum and Solana
While the community is still fiercely debating which will ultimately defeat the other between Ethereum and Solana, the world's largest asset manager BlackRock has already provided an answer through concrete action. It has simultaneously launched tokenized money market funds and stablecoin reserve management tools on both chains, initiating a new round of compliant asset penetration.
BlackRock's move precisely targets the trillion-dollar government bond reserve management pain points of stablecoin issuers. In its architecture, Ethereum is assigned the role of a highly secure, tamper-proof "institutional-grade base vault," suitable for cold custody of large funds; while Solana, with its 350-millisecond high concurrency and extremely low gas fees, is defined as a "high-frequency payment and real-time clearing engine." This marks the stablecoin's complete transformation into a seamless distribution channel for tokenized government bonds.
However, this full-scale entry by a trillion-dollar giant is also a double-edged sword. While it brings massive compliant liquidity, the strong regulatory scrutiny and whitelist admission rules inevitably compress the permissionless and anonymous space of native DeFi.
In configuring public chain strategies, one must abandon narrow single-chain loyalty and focus chips on public chain infrastructure that can truly accommodate compliant large capital deposits and capture real fees.
Under the institutional wave led by BlackRock, who do you think will hold greater influence in tokenized finance over the next three years, Ethereum or Solana?
#BTC延续强势，资金流能否持续？ $ZEC That is just Grayscale's wishful thinking. The 4th application was submitted on the 18th, and the 5th application was submitted on August 21st. The listing is expected on August 25th, but it has not yet received SEC approval, nor has a final date been announced. It is impossible to complete the listing in just 4 days. If a revision bill could pass in 4 days, that would be absurd, right? How many days are left now? There is only tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, just two days, actually only one day. Do you think there is still hope?
It's mostly institutions and some big players speculating on expectations, but these expectations are almost at their peak. Unless institutions want to push it up one more time, but if that happens, the first resistance level is between 876 and 890. Only by breaking through this resistance can it have a chance to rise, reaching a high point of 920 to 930, but most likely it will fall. Of course, if it really lands on August 25th, it must first get SEC approval to do so. Even if it really lands, that will be the time for institutions to exit. Before it lands, people are speculating on expectations; after it lands, those who went long at two or three hundred will definitely leave. Entering short positions now, although not the best timing, if you enter at 900, you definitely won't be wrong. Entering with a small position above 800 won't lose much either. If you hold on, you will profit.

For example, if quantum computing truly breaks through to a certain extent, existing signature algorithms would also face risks.
But the difference is that once the scarcity of gold is broken from a physical level by new technology, it is basically irreparable. If BTC's algorithm has issues, the community can upgrade the signature algorithm and migrate to quantum-resistant algorithms.

Did some analysis with AI, sharing it for everyone to see
Starting from the 19th-20th, two big bullish candles, simultaneously standing back above the 120-day and 200-day moving averages — previously it had been below both lines for a full 29 days.
In the past 7 years, there have been 7 big bullish breakouts that met the criteria of "single-day increase of 4%+, stayed below for at least 3 days, and a decent macro environment (no tightening of interest rates)". Among them, only 3 times did it stand back above both moving averages at once.
Results:
Out of the 7 times, 6 closed positive after 30 days, averaging +14.5%
For the 3 times it stood above both lines, all gained over +29% after 120 days, with the best at +74.4%
(October 2023: US Treasury yields peaked and fell, spot ETF approval on the eve)
The only loss was in November 2022: at breakout it was still -12.5% below the 200-day line (the weakest pattern), with peak inflation, consecutive 75bp rate hikes, tightening interest rates, followed by the FTX collapse, resulting in -19% over those 30 days.
This time: standing above both lines, inflation at 2.5-3%, Federal Reserve on hold — similar to October 2023, not like November 2022.
Data only states history. 7 times, 6 positive and 1 negative; the only negative case had the weakest pattern and tightest rates. This time both factors are opposite.

#BTC冲高后震荡，ETF资金持续流入 BTC and ETH leverage liquidation maps are densely clustered above and below the price. If the price decides on a direction, it is highly likely that a chain reaction of liquidations in that direction will trigger first. So, which trigger will the market absorb first? According to the original text, BTC is positioned around $76,500, and ETH around $2,414. The key is not the price itself but the density of leverage positions accumulated above and below it. For BTC, near $76,838, there is a concentration of high-leverage long positions ranging from 50x to 100x, and for ETH, around $2,425.8, there is a similar cluster of high-leverage long positions. This is not just a simple resistance zone; if the price reaches this area, forced liquidations can occur in a chain reaction, acting as fuel to accelerate the upward movement. At the same time, there are multiple liquidation zones for short positions below, so the same mechanism can operate during a decline. This structure is important because liquidations go beyond mere position clearing and contribute to market volatility #ZEC hits an all-time high on the site, privacy assets revalued
I remember Monero appeared in a movie, and out of curiosity, I looked into these privacy coins. At that time, $ZEC was still around $400. Looking back now, this logic has become clearer and clearer. ZEC has recently hit a new all-time high, and the privacy sector is clearly being targeted by capital again.
Many people understand privacy coins too narrowly. Actually, I think Ethereum is like a "half privacy sector." ETH itself is a public ledger, and on-chain fund flows can be tracked, but privacy protocols like Railgun have already grown on it, enabling hidden transactions and private DeFi through zero-knowledge proofs.
This means that future privacy competition may not only be between native privacy coins like ZEC and XMR, but more likely a competition between "public chains + privacy layers." Even from real cases, in 2023 the FBI confirmed that Lazarus processed over $60 million worth of Ethereum through Railgun.
So now I look at this sector by considering ZEC and $ETH together: the former represents the revaluation of native privacy assets, while the latter represents huge application scenarios for privacy infrastructure.
If on-chain assets continue to grow and regulation and on-chain tracking become stronger, I actually think "privacy" may not be a niche demand but will gradually become a fundamental layer of infrastructure that public chains must solve. #美光加码AI存储，十年研发投入100亿美元
The boss has something to say
The storage sector has been receiving news one after another these days.
Samsung just finished an $80 billion shareholder return, SK Hynix's 40 trillion KRW buyback is still ongoing, and Micron has jumped out to announce a $10 billion investment in R&D over the next ten years. They are setting up a Micron research lab in Boise, Idaho, focusing on next-generation storage, Memory+Compute architecture, and advanced packaging.
What is the $10 billion investment for?
Ten billion over ten years, averaging $1 billion per year. The direction is very clear: next-generation storage, in-memory computing architecture, and advanced packaging. All are centered around the core scenario of AI storage.
Micron is transforming from a pure storage chip supplier to an AI storage solution provider. HBM, data center memory, and AI storage are the three main directions for Micron's R&D investment. The goal is to blur the boundary between Memory+Compute and bring storage closer to computing.
Three companies are taking three different paths
Samsung is distributing money, $80 billion in shareholder returns, following a cash flow realization route.
SK Hynix is doing buybacks, with a 40 trillion KRW buyback and cancellation, directly reducing circulating shares and increasing earnings per share.
Micron is investing in the future, $10 billion in R&D, betting on next-generation AI storage technology.
Each of the three legs is going its own way but points to the same direction: the prosperity of AI storage is not a short-term cycle; manufacturers are planning on a five- to ten-year scale. Samsung and SK Hynix give the money earned back to shareholders, while Micron throws the money earned into R&D. Essentially, all confirm the long-term demand for AI storage.
Impact on storage valuation
Micron's $10 billion ten-year R&D plan puts short-term pressure on financial statements, but the market is now looking at long-term competitiveness. If R&D can be converted into next-generation HBM products and secure more long-term contracts with cloud providers, then this money is well spent. If revenue realization lags, cash flow pressure will again become a valuation suppressor.
The valuation logic of the storage sector is undergoing a shift from cyclical stocks to growth plus high dividends. Samsung and SK Hynix have drawn a safety net for the market through shareholder returns, while Micron has drawn a growth curve through R&D investment.
Market overview $BTC $ETH $TRUMP
Bitcoin has fallen from 77,000 to around 75,000 and is oscillating. After all long positions have been closed, wait for a pullback; stabilize in the 73,000 to 74,000 range before re-entering. After PMI hit a four-year high, interest rate hike divergence has intensified, reducing the short-term cost-effectiveness of chasing longs.
The fundamentals of the storage sector are sound; SK Hynix's buyback is still ongoing, Samsung's dividend has not yet landed, and Micron's R&D is long-term. But short-term stock price volatility will not be small; wait for the pullback before considering entry.
The above analysis is time-sensitive; orders must have stop-losses set. Good luck.$OKB stands above 110! The initial target price has been achieved 🎯
Ladies, submit your homework on Sunday night~ OKB reached a high above **$110** today, currently around 108.5. This week it climbed steadily from below $100, with a single-day increase exceeding 6% at one point. Remember the $110 target price given by analysts at the beginning of the month? **It's been achieved**.
There are three layers of logic behind this rise:
**1. The market gives momentum.** The liquidity rally ignited by the Ministry of Finance's "water release" continues. Bitcoin remains stable above 69,000, altcoins and platform tokens collectively follow the rise, and OKB, as the "most deflationary platform token," naturally has greater elasticity.
**2. Deflation is the base tone.** On August 15, the total supply was permanently locked at 21 million tokens, scarcer than Bitcoin; concentrated chips + continuous deflation mean funds buy in on every pullback.
**3. The story isn't over.** ICE's $25 billion valuation stake is there, the expectation of a US listing is still fermenting, and X Layer's bets on DeFi + payments + RWA each have enough market potential for another round of hype.
**Reference levels**: Look first to the upside at **124** (previous analysis target), and for pullback support at **103–100** (breakthrough platform turns into support).
In short: the trend continues, but after nearly a 10% rise in a week, don't chase short-term; wait for pullback confirmation before adding positions, and make money you understand~✨ BTC took a tumble, but it's not time to call a bear market yet 🤔
BTC fell from 79,500 to 75,500, with AAVE and LTC leading the plunge—looks scary, but breaking it down, it's not that bad: EMA is still in a bullish alignment, and volume hasn't increased, so this feels more like catching a breath after running too fast, not a reversal and fleeing.
The real variables come next week: PCE inflation, Nvidia earnings, and the debut at the Jackson Hole symposium by Powell—all hitting within 4 trading days, so volatility is inevitable.
So is this pullback a discounted entry opportunity, or should we just grab a seat and watch?
My take: The trend isn't broken, but catalysts are too dense; don't go all in, it's safer to buy in batches.BTC ETF funds are starting to feel like a bull market.
After carefully analyzing the BTC ETF funds over the last three working days, I found that the net inflow of ETF funds exceeded 300M for three consecutive days,
which is the first time in the past three months.
The last time this happened was on May 5, 2026, and the three working days before that.
That last time coincided with the few days before the peak of the 59000 to 82000 wave.
In other words, that was the final few days of a rebound.
This time, however, it is just the beginning of a rebound.
Such a large net inflow of funds also indicates a unanimous optimistic expectation from bullish institutions for this rebound wave. The investment is indeed quite substantial.
ETH: In the last three working days, there has also been a continuous net inflow exceeding 180M daily, which is quite rare. Basically, this only happens in a bull market.
SOL: There has also been a continuous net inflow of ETF funds for four working days, and the net inflow of ETF funds in the last two trading days has both exceeded 10M, which was also rarely seen before.
Personal operation:
I personally remain bullish. I am particularly watching whether BTC can break through 82700 in this round. If it can break through, then it can basically be confirmed that there will be no lower lows. 57991 is basically the lowest point of this bear market. So going forward, any decline is an opportunity to go long.
The same logic applies to gold. Since it has already broken through the consolidation box, I have been buying on dips and holding long positions.
Hype has already broken through the historical high, so the main strategy is to hold on.Taxation not only didn't crash the market but achieved a triple win? One month after Uniswap's fee switch, revealing the confidence behind the super liquidity black hole
Previously, the Uniswap fee switch, which once caused market concerns about a liquidity exodus, has delivered an impressive report nearly a month after the full launch of V4.
The latest on-chain data shows that after the protocol's tax was enabled, the total locked value (TVL) of LPs across the network barely declined, remaining resilient even against fierce competition from Aerodrome, the native dominant player on the Base chain. Meanwhile, price impact and slippage for mainstream asset and stablecoin trading pairs on the Ethereum mainnet have actually improved, truly achieving a triple win for protocol revenue generation, LP retention, and trader experience.
Uniswap founder Hayden Adams revealed data that further demonstrates a terrifying monopoly scale: there are 8 super pools with monthly trading volumes exceeding $1 billion, and 57 pools with over $100 million.
This completely proves that the moat of a top-tier DEX has never been sustained by artificially inflated funds through pure subsidies, but by a massive natural routing flow, top-tier market-making depth, and extremely secure smart contracts forming a liquidity black hole.
When network effects become irreplaceable, moderate protocol taxation not only does not destroy the ecosystem but instead frees the platform from the vicious cycle of air token subsidies, laying the foundation for a long-term healthy business closed loop. 2. Microsoft (MSFT)
Azure cloud AI-related revenue maintains high growth, Copilot office AI enterprise paid penetration continues to increase, integrating computing power, cloud, and upper-layer applications into a complete closed loop, with abundant cash flow, continuously acquiring AI startups to fill technical gaps. Enterprise customer stickiness is strong, and the commercialization path is clear. Valuation is relatively high, and AI computing power capital expenditure significantly raises operating costs. Overseas antitrust regulations are tightening, imposing constraints on business expansion. Overall risk resistance is strong, and performance certainty ranks in the top tier among global tech giants.$BTC surged then pulled back, with macro factors and ETFs jointly forming bottom support
BTC's recent peak reached $79,500 but failed to hold effectively, currently retreating to around $77,800. $ETH simultaneously pulled back to about 2,480, as the market digests the previous weekly gain of over 30%. This week, BTC ETFs saw a cumulative net inflow of approximately $1.65 billion, marking the strongest single-week performance since October 2025. Institutional buying continues to provide bottom support.
On the macro front, the SEC is accelerating the implementation of a regulatory framework for crypto assets, raising expectations for compliance and marginally improving industry confidence. The Federal Reserve maintained interest rates unchanged, stabilizing the short-term policy path, but the situation in the Strait of Hormuz remains a potential disruptive factor. Oil price volatility may affect subsequent inflation trends.
Overall, BTC is in a consolidation phase characterized by “ETF incremental support and macro expectations setting direction.” If institutional inflows persist, the price has potential to continue rising after sufficient turnover; if inflows slow, caution is needed for a deeper pullback to the $75,000-$76,000 range.$xMU Micron YTD up 231% but down 23% from the peak, NVDA reports before 9/29
Up 231% but amid controversy at the cycle top
Micron YTD rose from $285 to a high of $1,255, then fell back to $967, down 23% from the peak. Market cap $1.1 trillion, Forward P/E about 6x. Motley Fool's latest article headline reads "Rebounded 30% from the low but may be near the profit peak." All 43 analysts give buy ratings, but target prices range from $361 to $2,200, a 6x difference, an absurdly large divergence.
Is 6x P/E cheap?
Forward P/E of 6x looks like a big blue-chip price, but Micron's historical cycle top P/E ranges between 3-8x. If this is the profit peak now, 6x is not cheap. Management signs long-term contracts to lock demand but also caps prices; Samsung and SK Hynix Q2 pricing growth has already slowed, and the side effects of long-term contracts are beginning to show.
Two key dates
8/27 NVDA reports earnings, 9/29 Micron reports earnings. NVDA is the vanguard—if AI demand guidance falls short of expectations, Micron will fall first as a warning. 9/29 is the lifeline: if quarterly results show DRAM/NAND pricing has peaked, the market will quickly reprice. New capacity will come online massively in 2028, by then price declines may offset shipment growth.
#美光加码AI存储，十年研发投入100亿美元 #BTC surges then consolidates, ETF funds continue to flow in #Gold breaks through $4600, bond safe-haven status challenged #Trump discloses thousands of securities transactions, transparency under scrutiny Stop focusing only on rate cuts and geopolitical conflicts when watching gold! Citibank just released a blockbuster report, the logic behind gold's rise has completely changed!
The real Achilles' heel for the US now is the massive $40 trillion national debt; interest keeps compounding, and no matter how strong the dollar is, it simply can't hold up! Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has taken consecutive actions, expanding long-term Treasury buybacks and coordinating with Japan on joint currency interventions—in short, to stabilize the bond market and no longer cling stubbornly to the strongest dollar.
This is a huge opportunity for gold! Global central banks and sovereign funds now care most about asset security over the next decade or so. Gold has no issuing country and no credit risk, making it naturally the most reliable reserve asset. In recent years, global central banks have been aggressively buying gold, and if the US truly starts to weaken the dollar's dominance, this trend will only intensify.
From now on, when watching gold, don't just focus on non-farm payrolls, CPI, and the Fed; pay more attention to what the US Treasury is doing, what's happening in the US bond market, and whether global funds are reallocating reserve assets. Real big moves are never decided by a single data point; it's about the underlying logic changing! Gold's current story has shifted from a safe-haven trade to a global monetary system restructuring, potentially a once-in-a-generation asset revaluation!
Stop obsessing over whether it rose 20 or fell 30 today; focus on this major transformation of the monetary system!The person who sold ETH at 1738 bought it back at 2100 and even said he was 90% sure the bear market was over. Guess what, was he admitting a mistake or adding to his position? Today I came across Jiang Zhuoer’s trading record. Honestly, I stared at those few lines of numbers for a long time. Not because his directional judgment was amazing, but because his operation revealed the most real aspect of the market: judgments can be wrong, but position management cannot be sloppy. He previously sold ETH between 1738 and 1931, then set a stop loss at 2100 and bought back directly. Then ETH rose to 2525, he sold half for cash and moved the stop loss up to 2550. Now he still holds the other half, waiting for BTC to drop between 67000 and 72000 to put all the missed funds in. If BTC doesn’t pull back, he plans to get in directly at the current price before the end of October. This whole set of actions looks like timing on the surface, but it’s actually all risk management. He says he’s 90% sure the bear market is over, but every step he takes leaves room for fallback. Selling half is to avoid drawdown, moving the stop loss up is to lock in profits, waiting for a pullback is to avoid chasing highs, setting a deadline is to avoid missing out. What really interests me is not how bullish he is on this round, but how he broke down "uncertainty" into four executable plans. Most people’s anxiety in the market isn’t because their directional judgment is wrong, but because their position size doesn’t match their judgment. Being bullish but empty-handed, bearish but full of spot holdings—this contradiction is the root of losses. The real rhythm of the market now is BTC oscillating repeatedly at a high level,On 8/23, buying pressure was relatively strong, while leverage actually decreased. At 23:00, $BTC BTC mark price was 77,128.99, with a gain of only 0.15%, but active buy volume was already 1.42 times the active sell volume.
Meanwhile, open interest dropped to $8.16 billion, a change of -0.4%, indicating this price push looks more like short covering and reduction of existing positions rather than concentrated leverage chasing the rally.
Bitcoin and $ETH Ethereum spot exchange-traded funds saw weekly inflows of $2.6 billion, marking the strongest week since last October. BlackRock made a single purchase of about $290 million in Bitcoin and $151 million in Ethereum.
The Treasury's buyback adjustment also fueled another round of short squeeze. The capital side is indeed bullish, but the fear-greed index has reached 66, with bulls accounting for 52%, showing sentiment is starting to get ahead of positions. Funding rates for mainstream coins have not yet spiraled out of control; both $BTC and $ETH remain near +0.01%.
The real congestion is in some contracts: ACE funding rate dropped to -0.364%, posing the highest short squeeze risk; ZHIPU rose to +0.248%, meaning if bulls weaken, retracements can easily be amplified by forced liquidations. $SOL SOL rose 1.75% to 94.89, with mainnet block intervals shortened to 350 milliseconds providing an independent catalyst.
Next, the focus is on whether $BTC open interest can grow again with price; if price continues to rise but open interest still declines, the short squeeze component remains high, and the chasing price space needs to be discounted. 4. CanSino Biologics (06185)
A popular biotech stock in the Hong Kong market, the overseas clinical breakthrough of its mRNA tumor vaccine has driven sector sentiment. The company's mRNA technology platform is mature, with multiple vaccines in clinical application stages. The acceptance of the DTaP vaccine brings new commercialization highlights. Traditional vaccine centralized procurement suppresses profits, and most innovative pipelines have yet to contribute revenue, leaving the company in a loss-making state. This recent rise is driven by industry theme catalysts rather than significant clinical achievements of the company itself, and there is a high risk of pullback after the hype subsides. $BTC has risen about 23% this week, which is indeed very strong, but I think we need to separate the "short squeeze rally" from the "trend rally."
A large number of short positions were concentrated at high levels earlier. After breaking through key resistance, continuous liquidations were triggered, and the forced liquidations themselves became new buying pressure, forming a cycle of "rising → short squeeze → continued rise." Over $5 billion in short liquidations indicates that the acceleration of this rally is very high, but this part of the momentum is a one-time fuel and cannot be simply assumed to continue indefinitely.
What truly determines whether the price can continue to rise afterward is whether spot funds can take over. Continuous net inflows into ETFs and improved macro liquidity do provide support for BTC. If during the 77K–80K high-level consolidation period, spot trading and ETF funds remain strong, then even after the short squeeze ends, the price may still continue upward.
Conversely, if ETF inflows significantly slow down and the price repeatedly fails to break through 80K, one should be cautious of concentrated profit-taking.
Therefore, the most critical thing now is not whether to chase the price but to see if 80K can hold with volume and if the area around 77K can be defended. Holding above 80K may signal the trend entering a new phase; breaking below key support means preparing for a high-level shakeout first. The market is very strong, but the stronger the position, the more you should avoid chasing based on emotion.

The Hong Kong AI sector surged, with the company iterating and upgrading its multimodal large models, AI vision, and government-enterprise smart business orders warming up. The World Robot Conference catalyzed sentiment in the AI sector, leading to capital flowing back into the Hong Kong tech sector. Smart city and automotive intelligent driving businesses are steadily expanding. The company is still in a loss-making phase, with high computing power costs for large models. The domestic AI sector is highly competitive, with price wars squeezing service gross margins. The stock price relies more on industry expectations, and performance realization depends on the speed of government-enterprise order conversion, showing strong thematic volatility.Goldman Sachs seems to be refocusing its attention on Korean assets recently, especially the AI storage chip sector represented by SK Hynix. While the market sees continuous foreign capital selling, the Korean stock market keeps rising — this seemingly contradictory trend is becoming one of the most noteworthy capital battles in the Asian market at the end of August. According to the latest issue of Asia Market Watch, the MSCI Asia Pacific (ex-Japan) index rose about 1.3% this week. Although some overseas funds continue to withdraw from the Asian market, the resilience of tech exports, combined with the strengthening of the Korean won and other Asian currencies, provides additional support to the market. Foreign capital is still withdrawing, but Korea has become the main driver of the rise. Latest capital data shows that emerging Asian markets (excluding China) experienced a net outflow of about $1.8 billion, with the Korean market bearing the most significant selling pressure, with a weekly net outflow close to $2 billion. However, it is worth noting that the Korean stock market has not weakened due to foreign capital selling; instead, it has been clearly led by the recovery of semiconductor exports, rising AI server demand, and the strengthening of the local currency, outperforming some Asian markets. This has led to an intriguing phenomenon in the market: foreign capital is selling, but the index is rising. The reason behind this is that active funds, long-term institutional funds, and passive funds are giving completely different directions. Hedge funds continue to reduce positions, but long-term funds are beginning to reposition. After a large-scale net sell-off in July, hedge funds in the Asian market still maintained net selling in August, but the pace of reduction has slowed down US Bitcoin and Ethereum Spot ETFs See Strongest Week in Nearly a Year
This week, the combined net inflow of US $BTC and $ETH spot ETFs reached about $2.6 billion, setting a new single-week record since October 2025, with the market completing a momentum reversal of nearly $3 billion.
Bitcoin spot ETFs saw a weekly net inflow of approximately $1.9 billion, with weekly trading volume surging over 219%; Ethereum attracted about $697 million, with trading volume increasing by 259%. Behind this are multiple positive factors resonating: the US Treasury expanded Treasury repurchase operations to suppress yields, Trump urged the Senate to pass crypto legislation, combined with a short squeeze triggered by about $4.5 billion in shorts being liquidated. BlackRock's IBIT recorded a single-day net inflow of $503 million, accelerating institutional demand return.
However, amid the celebration, caution is necessary. Since 2026, the two types of ETFs have still seen a combined net outflow of about $3.1 billion; one week of inflow is not enough to reverse the contraction trend. As Bitcoin approached $80,000, a whale sold 7,700 BTC over three days, worth about $577 million, with smart money quietly exiting at the highs.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading around $77,000 to $77,500, and Ethereum around $2,418 to $2,442, both having retreated from their highs. Whether this $2.6 billion marks the start of a trend reversal or a bull trap after a short squeeze unwind, time will tell.
#BTC冲高后震荡，ETF资金持续流入 Brothers, $TRUMP's trend is really getting more and more bizarre.
Today the team address is offloading again—early this morning they transferred 3.83 million TRUMP to OKX, worth 9.33 million USD. And this time they used BitGo as an intermediary before moving into the exchange. Doesn't this route look familiar? They played this way in February, March, April, and July—it's a complete assembly line operation. What's really chilling is that previously large amounts were all funneled into Binance, but recently they've all rerouted to OKX. Are they changing venues or is there another plan?
Even more interesting is the market situation. TRUMP has had double-digit gains for three consecutive days, today pushing above 2.9. The team keeps offloading, yet the price keeps rising. I can't quite figure out the logic here—is someone forcibly absorbing the chips, or has the "political narrative" premium already digested the selling pressure? Don't forget that the big whale who lost over 15 million USD on TRUMP before has re-entered at 3.17, currently floating a profit of over 2.7 million. These old money players are pacing their moves very tightly.
On one hand, the team is steadfastly dumping tokens into the exchange; on the other, the price is being artificially pumped up. Is this a pump to facilitate better offloading, or is there really big money betting on the political market before the election?$HYPE broke through $80 to reach a new high. The core conflict lies in the main long positions adjusting margin at a high liquidation price of $53.39, creating an extremely tense liquidity standoff with shorts holding tens of millions of dollars in unrealized losses.
The primary driving factor is the position structure of the leading longs. These longs have built positions from $38.6 and have paid nearly $5 million in capital costs, locking in a large amount of chips long-term.
The second driving factor is that longs have continuously extracted floating profits since June, raising the leverage liquidation line to $53.39, significantly narrowing the downside tolerance.
The third driving factor is the $35.6 million unrealized loss short positions held since May, whose potential short squeeze liquidation risk fuels the upward push.
The trigger for the bullish scenario is the completion of chip turnover above $80, with high funding rates not eroding long costs.
If the price breaks above $85, triggering large-scale forced short liquidations, the long trend will continue; the invalidation signal for this scenario is the main longs taking profits or actively closing positions.
The trigger for the bearish scenario is the price falling below the $70 turnover band, directly inducing a purge of leveraged chasing longs.
If the market slides down and breaks below the main liquidation bottom line at $53.39, a chain liquidation will directly suppress the price to retest the initial position area at $38.6; the invalidation signal is short stop-loss buying forming strong support above $65.
The most important variables to watch in the next 7 days are whether the main longs continue to raise the liquidation price at $53.39 and whether the $35.6 million unrealized loss short positions undergo substantial changes.

A popular stock in optical communications, with explosive half-year report performance; net profit has surged significantly year-on-year. Orders for high-speed special optical fibers and overseas business are increasing, and AI computing power construction is driving demand across the entire optical communication industry chain. The company has a well-established full industry chain layout, with a continuously increasing proportion of overseas customers. Industry manufacturers are collectively expanding production capacity, intensifying market competition, which will suppress gross margins. The sector has seen a substantial overall increase, driven by strong performance, but if capital expenditure on computing power falls short of expectations, a correction may occur. It is not advisable to chase the price at high levels. AI stocks focus on $NVDA.
The market is looking not only at revenue and EPS but also at data center growth, the progress of the next-generation Rubin, and whether AI orders can continue to be raised.
If guidance continues to exceed expectations, AI industry chain stocks like $MU, $SNDK, $LITE, $COHR, and $VST all have a chance to recover.
If the beat is only slight, the first to be hit won't be Nvidia but rather those second-tier AI stocks with higher valuations and weaker performance.

The traditional vaccine market is highly competitive, with centralized procurement suppressing profit margins. Most innovative pipelines have yet to achieve commercialization, and the company is not yet profitable. This round of increase is driven by thematic sentiment rather than the company's own major clinical results; there is a risk of selling pressure after the positive news is realized. THIS $BTC SUMMER SQUEEZE FEELS VERY FAMILIAR
We’ve seen this kind of move before
In 2018, a summer short squeeze wiped out around $300M, but the bear market still continued for months after that.
Now in 2026, the squeeze is much bigger, with around $5B liquidated.
So I still think one more strong flush could happen before the market fully settles.
I’m personally DCA’ing over the next 2–4 months instead of trying to catch the exact bottom.
What’s your view final flush first
$SOL $XRP The focus of mainstream coins today is not how much they fall, but that after a big surge, funds are starting to re-segment.
$BTC is still fluctuating above $77,000 in the evening, with the previous low hitting 75,513 but quickly recovering, indicating core support remains; however, momentum clearly slows after the surge, and currently it is more about digesting profit-taking at high levels. $ETH is repeatedly tugging above $2,400, with slightly less strength than BTC, which is a normal pullback after a rapid rise. Prices are based on tonight's market snapshot.
The capital side is not bad: as of the week of August 21, the US spot BTC ETF net inflow was about $1.9 billion, ETH ETF inflow about $697 million, totaling approximately $2.6 billion, marking the strongest week since last October.
Additionally, the US Treasury expanded the scale of long-term Treasury repos, and with Trump continuing to push the CLARITY Act, risk asset sentiment has indeed improved these days.
Overall, today looks more like a redistribution of funds after a big surge: BTC is responsible for stabilizing the market, ETH is digesting at high levels, fast-rising coins from earlier are starting to realize gains, and some strong coins continue to cluster. The market is not cooling off; it has just shifted from broad gains back to a differentiation between strong and weak. $TRUMP #BTC冲高后震荡，ETF资金持续流入 $TRUMP broke through $3.4, reaching a new high since March 21, with a 24h increase of nearly 93% and a market cap of $1.9 billion. Meme coins are highly volatile and extremely risky.
Leverage-driven surge
Derivative data shows clear signs of leverage in this rally, with open interest contracts hitting a stage high, funding rates negative, and shorts facing a squeeze. Futures trading volume far exceeds spot, indicating intense long-short battles.
Rally triggered by debunked rumors
The rise was sparked by rumors of the Trump family issuing a coin, which Eric Trump later publicly denied. The news was proven false, making this a pump driven by a false rumor.
Market & on-chain signals warrant caution
Some believe the denial means the negative news is fully priced in. During the surge, project-related addresses transferred 3.837 million TRUMP tokens (about $9.33 million) to exchanges, bringing potential selling pressure from large transfers.
The daily resistance zone at $3.10–$3.20 is critical; failure to hold above it could form a double top.
Market thoughts
The current game is highly speculative; beware of leverage liquidations, news reversals, and large chip sell-offs. Exercise caution in news-driven rallies.

#特朗普披露千笔证券交易，透明度受关注 From $250 to $860: $ZEC hits an eight-year high.
In June, a serious vulnerability was exposed in $ZEC's Orchard privacy pool, theoretically allowing the creation of undetectable counterfeit ZEC.
Although there is no evidence that the vulnerability was exploited, the market remained concerned about the credibility of the supply, causing the price to plummet from around $630 to below $250.
OKX market data shows $ZEC has rebounded to $840, with an intraday high surpassing $875, marking an eight-year peak.
The rapid market reversal is due to two factors: first, the Ironwood privacy pool completed formal verification, enabling independent verification of circulating supply; second, Grayscale continues to push for the Zcash trust to convert to an ETF, planning to list ZCSH on NYSE Arca, bringing renewed capital attention to the privacy sector.
The market is currently overheated: ZEC futures trading volume is about $9.5 billion, while spot trading is only $1.06 billion, with leveraged trading nearly nine times the spot volume.
This rally is driven by security fixes and ETF expectations, as well as the boost from derivatives.
Going forward, it is important to watch whether spot market funds can take over; if the news cools down, the price could fall quickly as well. Does a big bullish candlestick directly declare the end of the bear market? But will the bull market really start immediately? $BTC $ETH
#BTC冲高后震荡，ETF资金持续流入 #ETH触及2500美元后震荡
Looking back at the cycle bottom at the end of 2022, Bitcoin also formed consecutive large bullish candlesticks with increased volume after stabilizing at a low level, strongly breaking through the “Bull Market Support Band.” However, it did not immediately rally unilaterally but went through months of consolidation and gradual decline, repeatedly testing support and absorbing selling pressure before officially entering a magnificent main upward wave.
History always rhymes similarly:
Definition of the big bullish candlestick: This week’s large volume bullish candlestick surged directly to $79,000, successfully standing above the Bull-Bear Transition Band (69,400–69,500), basically confirming the effectiveness of $57,800 as the major bear market bottom, breaking the logic of blind bearishness.
Premise for the bull market to start: The price is still pressured by the 50-week moving average (SMA 50 around $81,784). As long as the weekly candlestick body does not increase volume and stabilize above the 50-week moving average and the $81,900–$83,300 resistance zone, the market is very likely still in the “end of bear, beginning of bull” accumulation phase.
Conclusion: The end of the bear market does not equal an immediate bull market surge. It is highly probable that a phase of gradual decline or retesting (such as a double bottom at $70k or even $63k) will occur next. Be patient and wait for a stable pullback to buy the dip
