Renowned quantitative trader Killa recently publicly stated that Bitcoin is expected to reach a new all-time high next year. In his view, obsessing over a precise entry point is not very meaningful; from a long-term perspective, the current price will eventually be surpassed. The biggest mistake right now is not buying at a high price, but completely exiting and becoming just a bystander.
His core logic is not complicated: rather than waiting painfully for a legendary perfect bottom, it is better to build positions gradually in the spot market and calmly accept the fluctuations and pullbacks along the way. Supporting this optimistic attitude are the continuous inflows of institutional ETF funds and the lagging effects brought by the halving cycle.
My personal view is that cycle predictions can be referenced but do not mean the market will rise in a straight line. Even if the overall trend is upward, deep corrections and intense shakeouts along the way are unavoidable. Interpreting "do not exit" as "go all in" is dangerous; gradual allocation and position control are the correct interpretations of this statement.
Reaching new highs is a long-term conclusion; in the short term, the market is still influenced by employment data, Federal Reserve policies, and geopolitical risks, so volatility risks should not be underestimated. Past performance of traders does not guarantee the future; narrative is narrative, risk control is risk control, and contract trading especially should not blindly follow one-sided bets. $BTC

Sharp swings between bulls and bears, extreme 4-hour crushing followed by bears taking over, direction repeatedly changing
Time Total Liquidation Long Liquidation Short Liquidation
1 hour $302.29 $154.15 $148.14
4 hours $6,802.32 $6,654.18 $148.14
12 hours $57,200 $11,600 $45,600
24 hours $175,400 $79,000 $96,400
In 1 hour, bulls control the market with a slight 1.04x advantage, almost perfectly balanced, volume only $302; in 4 hours, bulls extremely crush with 44.9x, volume surging to $6,802, long liquidation $6,654.18 vs short $148.14; in 12 hours, bears violently reverse with 3.93x, volume exploding to $57,200; in 24 hours, bears close with 1.22x, liquidation $96,400 vs bulls $79,000, totaling $175,400. The 12-hour liquidation accounts for 32.6% of the 24-hour total, concentration is low; but 4-hour liquidation only accounts for 3.88% of 24-hour total, volume very small, typical of a momentary extreme clearing followed by rapid direction change. Bull multiples go from 1.04x → 44.9x (extreme surge) → bear 3.93x (direction reversal) → bear 1.22x (continued exhaustion), showing an inverted V-shaped reversal then continuous decline, bull momentum bursts twice then collapses avalanche-style, bear momentum also weakens simultaneously. Leverage is recommended to be compressed within 3x, watch more and trade less amid repeated direction switches.
🔥 Market Wind Vane | 2026-09-01
Today's three hot topics point to the same theme: Wash's hawkish tone faces the ultimate test with employment data, Bitcoin and gold deeply linked under "fiat credit revaluation," AI hardware returns enter a sustainability verification period.
📊 Nonfarm payrolls debut this Friday: Can Wash's "hawk" withstand the data "blade"?
At 20:30 Beijing time on September 4, the US August nonfarm employment report will be released. The market expects new jobs of 58,000-65,000, previous value was -23,000; unemployment rate expected to remain at 4.1%.
Just last week, Fed Chair Wash gave his first keynote speech since taking office at Jackson Hole, clearly stating inflation is still "too high," "there is more work to do." The market quickly pushed September rate hike probability to 60%. However, nonfarm has been weak for three consecutive times—if this week's data weakens again, Wash's hawkish stance will face a severe test. Goldman Sachs expects August core CPI month-on-month rise around 0.2%, under which FOMC will hold steady; JPMorgan emphasizes the "more important news" deciding September meeting results is this week's nonfarm and next week's CPI.
₿ BTC high-level oscillation: gold linkage continues to strengthen, rate hike expectations pressure
Bitcoin rose 28% cumulatively in August, once breaking $81,000, but fell under pressure after Wash's hawkish speech, currently oscillating between $78,000-$79,000; spot gold also under pressure, once falling below $4,450 intraday.
The core logic driving the previous synchronous strength is "fiat credit revaluation"—in the past five trading days, gold and Bitcoin ETFs attracted a record $7 billion inflow combined. But after Wash's speech, Bitcoin ETFs saw outflows again, and a stronger dollar suppressed gold and Bitcoin. Rising rate hike expectations are short-term suppressing "non-government credit assets" upward momentum—but if this week's nonfarm data is weak, rate hike expectations may quickly collapse, allowing Bitcoin and gold to regain upward momentum.
🖥️ Broadcom and Dell take over: AI hardware returns face re-examination
Following Nvidia's explosive $96.2 billion revenue report, the AI hardware sector faces a new round of tests this week.
Broadcom will release Q3 earnings after market close on September 2. Market expects total revenue about $29.4 billion, up 84% year-on-year; AI semiconductor revenue expected to reach $16 billion, up over 200% year-on-year. JPMorgan expects 2026 full-year AI revenue to exceed $56 billion.
Dell will release Q2 earnings after market close on September 1. The company has $51.3 billion backlog in AI servers, quarterly AI orders $24.4 billion; AI server revenue expected about $15.5 billion. But profit margin pressure is notable—AI servers usually have low margins, market will focus on whether Infrastructure Solutions Group margin can improve from 10.5%.
💎 Summary
Three things outline the same picture: this Friday's nonfarm will test Wash's hawkish "more work to do" stance—if employment weakens again, the 60% rate hike expectation may quickly collapse; Bitcoin and gold are deeply linked under "fiat credit revaluation," but short-term suppressed by rate hike expectations; Broadcom and Dell's earnings will successively verify AI hardware return sustainability, with margin pressure becoming a new focus.
Mapping to the SUI contract market, the 4-hour window saw an extreme 44.9x bull crush, but volume only $6,802, a "big noise, small rain" local clearing—indicating it is not driven by trend forces but a chain liquidation triggered by small-scale funds in a thin liquidity state. Bears reversed with 3.93x in 12 hours then quickly exhausted to 1.22x, combined with 32.6% low concentration, showing neither bulls nor bears can build sustained offense. Currently, SUI is in a repeated direction testing but fruitless oscillation pattern, likely to maintain this state before nonfarm release. Watch more, trade less, wait for clear direction. #就业数据密集公布，沃什政策立场受检验
#BTC高位震荡，与黄金联动增强
#财报观察员：博通与戴尔接棒，AI回报再受检验 On August 31, 2026, Core DAO officially disclosed the "validator over-issuance" incident, combined with Coinbase's temporary suspension of CORE deposits and withdrawals on the same day, causing the price to plummet from about $0.0256 to around $0.021 (a 24h drop of about 7%–9%).
What exactly happened these past two days?
On 8/31, Core officially stated: a small number of validators received block rewards exceeding the protocol's set issuance amount; the root cause has been identified and is being mitigated; emphasized "user asset safety, no impact on network security, just a bug in the reward issuance layer," and promised a complete post-mortem report.
Unanswered community questions: How much excess CORE was issued exactly? Has any been transferred to exchanges? Has the 2.1B total supply cap been effectively breached? The official side has yet to provide numbers or name the validators. Overseas rumors claim "26 million CORE moved from protocol addresses to exchanges," but this is unconfirmed.
Coinbase's suspension of CORE deposits and withdrawals on the same day (trading unaffected) further amplified panic.
Price reaction: CORE had rebounded over 40% in the previous 40 days (BTCFi narrative + non-custodial BTC staking launch), but gave back some gains after the incident; current price is about $0.021–0.024, still down over 99% from the 2023 ATH of $6.14.
AI's current assessment of CORE
Short term: trust discount + technical oversell, awaiting post-mortem to set direction
This incident is not a private key theft or bridge hack; it is a protocol-layer bug in coin issuance logic/reward settlement. Its nature is lighter than a hacker attack but heavier than a "pure market correction"—because it directly hits CORE's "fixed 2.1 billion cap" monetary credibility.
Key observation points: whether the post-mortem discloses the excess amount, whether there will be clawback/destruction, and whether the client will be hard-fixed. If glossed over, the market will price it as "hidden inflation." If the previous low of 0.018 breaks, then watch the historical bottom at 0.016–0.017.
Technically, RSI-7 is near 33, indicating oversold. If BTC stabilizes and the official report is decent, a rebound is possible, but bottom-fishing before the report is a bet on transparency.
Mid term: BTCFi narrative remains, but fundamentals lack closure
Positives: Satoshi Plus integrates BTC hashrate/staking, non-custodial BTC staking launched in August, TVL up about 25% in 30 days, Split Delegation reduces staking friction; the roadmap is still alive.
Negatives: circulating market cap only around $30 million, 24h volume a few million dollars, very shallow depth; early share + team linear unlocks continue to exert pressure; SatPay is not yet a revenue engine, and the "fee → CORE buyback" model currently does not cover sell pressure.
The over-issuance incident will make institutions more cautious; large BTC delegations, which have not yet exploded, will be harder to attract.
Long term: a small-cap turnaround play, not a value coin
CORE's branding is "BTC native yield layer," but its reputation has fallen from $6 to $0.02, leaving trust wreckage and inflation doubts. The only logic for a 10x increase is: SatPay/lstBTC truly generate sustainable fees and continuous buyback and burn, and this issuance bug is proven to be minimal and fully cleared. Missing any one of these means any rise is a rebound, not a reversal.
If you currently hold some CORE
Don't automatically translate "user asset safety" into "price safety"—dilution hurts holders.
In the next 1–2 weeks, only watch the official X (@Coredao_Org) and core browser reward curves; ignore KOL hype.
Position-wise, it is a high-volatility satellite holding, not a core holding; if 0.018 breaks, consider reducing position rather than doubling down. According to data from CryptoQuant analyst Amr Taha, whale holdings have clearly increased during this period.
The group holding 100 to 1000 $BTC has cumulatively increased by 73,300 BTC over 60 days, reaching the highest level since April 21. Although it hasn't returned to the peak of 91,920 BTC on April 21, the trend is already very clear.
More interestingly, super whales holding over 10,000 BTC are also continuously increasing their positions, with a net growth of 43,300 BTC.
This is completely different from the situation in April to May—at that time, super whales net reduced about 40,000 BTC in mid-May, after which Bitcoin's price dropped by 25%. Now, this group is not only holding but actively buying, showing a clear warming in institutional capital sentiment.
In summary:
• Mid-sized and super whales are both increasing holdings, indicating a healthy structure
• This is not a simple repeat of April’s scenario; this trend is more solid
• Large funds are accumulating, retail investors are waiting, and the market often does not favor the majority’s wishes
#BTC高位震荡，与黄金联动增强 There is an iron rule at the poker table: when everyone folds, the only one daring to push chips forward either really has a strong hand or is putting on a show for you.
Today's game is strange—three major indices are all down, as if all three players have folded, yet Tesla, SanDisk, and SK Hynix simultaneously turn green, each rising over 5%. A rookie's pupils dilate: isn't this an open-hand opportunity? Go for it.
But count the chips on the table: volume hasn't increased, sectors aren't moving together, and there's no positive policy news. This isn't a "true dragon rising"; it looks more like someone deliberately showing you three beautiful cards, just waiting for you to call.
I've seen this act too many times. A single-point surge in a weak market is like drawing a winning tile when you're waiting in Mahjong—you think it's a natural win, but actually the player before you calculated and fed it to you. The big bullish candles of Storm Technology in 2015 and BTC hitting 69,000 in 2021—weren't they all sugar-coated traps?
Veterans only ask three questions: Has the fundamental changed drastically? Is capital continuously flowing in? Has the market bottomed out? If all answers are "no," then this bullish candle isn't an opportunity; it's ash blown out by the opponent to distract you.
My discipline is simple: when the trend is down, never heavily bet on a single stock. Fold when you should, even if it later rises, no regrets. Those who live long rely on having chips when the market warms up, not catching the last baton.
The same goes for BTC; don't go all in just because of one bullish candle. The real winner at the table is the one who watches the cards all night and only pushes chips in the last hand. In today's game, I fold, I don't call.
$BTC $TSLA $ETH Every cycle, L2 is declared to "kill ETH":
- L2 is useless → ETH is doomed
- A certain L2 explodes → Alt-L1 under pressure
- L2 revenue is low → ETH gets stronger
- L2 revenue surpasses → "Is ETH dying again?" ⬅️ now
But the latest data is more worth watching: L2 activity is about 60+ times that of the Ethereum mainnet, and the ecosystem is accelerating its differentiation.
The key is not whether L2 will replace ETH, but whether L2's growth can translate into value capture for ETH.
Narratives may change, but data does not.
#ETH #L2 #Ethereum #OKXOrbitMU might actually be the real "decisive factor" for the AI sector in September.
Right now, the market is focused on NVDA and AMD, but Micron is starting to be spotlighted instead. The market is even beginning to discuss whether MU will become the biggest winner or the biggest loser in the AI field this September.
The logic is actually simple: as AI computing power continues to expand, memory demand is hard to avoid. Especially high-bandwidth memory, which is shifting from a "supporting role" in the past to a core component in AI infrastructure.
Nvidia's earnings have already proven that AI capital expenditure hasn't stopped and is even accelerating. What’s truly worth watching next is whether this round of AI funding can continue to flow into Micron's orders, revenue, and profits.
So in September, don’t just focus on how much Nvidia can rise.
$NVDA looks at computing power, $AMD looks at competition, $MU looks at memory.
If MU continues to strengthen, there might be a second wave for AI semiconductors; conversely, if memory prices or performance expectations loosen, MU could also become the sector’s biggest retracement.
At this stage of the AI market, memory is no longer a minor player. #财报观察员：博通与戴尔接棒，AI回报再受检验 #英伟达向联发科投资35亿美元 The labor market is quietly testing Warsh's Fed. After weeks of hawkish talk and open hike dissents, the latest jobs data came in softer than the narrative, with prior months revised down and hiring fading. A hawkish chair now has to square inflation vigilance with a labor market cooling under him. If the weakness is real, the hike case fades and the hold-then-cut path reopens, which is what risk assets are leaning toward. Data over rhetoric. DYOR. #LaborMarketTestsWalsh OKB｜One of the strongest platform tokens, but also the thinnest
$OKB current price 112, almost flat in 24 hours, 7-day pullback of 2.5%, still up nearly 30% in 30 days. Up 30.69% in August, outperforming Top100's 23.95%. In the same sector, BGB -3.9%, KCS -7.9%, MX -3.7%, it is the only one showing a main upward wave.
Three details on the market.
First, deflation is real. On August 15, 279 million tokens were burned at once, reducing the total supply from 300 million permanently to 21 million. On August 18, the contract removed the minting and manual burning functions. This is a fact already implemented, not just an expectation.
Second, the position is in the middle. 112 is about 49% of the historical high of 225.9, with a 37% increase over 90 days, meaning some of the expected gains are already priced in. From 80 at the beginning of August to 117 at the end, a 35% rise in one month requires time to digest.
Third, liquidity is a major weakness. 24-hour trading volume is only around 15 million USD, with a 7-day volatility of 0.57%. At this depth, a single large order can move the price by several points, making the risk-reward ratio for chasing highs very poor.
Key levels: 110 is a repeatedly tested short-term bottom, 104–105 is stronger; above, 115.1 is the recent 7-day high, only breaking this can we talk about 124. Platform tokens essentially act as shadow stocks of exchanges, tracking OKX's volume and regulatory progress. Bitcoin near $79K isn't really a crypto story, it's a debasement one. BTC's 90-day correlation with gold has jumped to ~0.5, its second-highest ever, as US debt past $40T and a $1.9T deficit push capital to hedge the dollar. When gold and BTC rise together, the market is voting on debasement, and BTC is the high-beta version of that hedge. Regime-dependent and it breaks in a real liquidity crunch, but while the deficit runs, the bid is real. NFA. #BTCGoldCorrelation Robinhood Chain Launchpad Wars Two Main Battlefields
- General Launcher Competition, Pons Leading
After nearly two months of dozens of Launchpad battles, Pons has stood out in terms of token creation count, token trading volume, and platform token market value.
- RWA Pairs Theme, Tripartite Standoff
Meme paired with Stock Token forms trading pairs, a new element in this TradFi mega cycle. LONG is slightly ahead, accounting for over 40% of Stock Pair trading volume; Pons and Bankr closely follow On September 1, Bitcoin was priced at $78,620, Ethereum at $2,470, both with 24-hour gains around 1%, and the Fear & Greed Index at 69, indicating a greedy zone.
First, let's look at the structure. The Bitfinex weekly report believes that the August rally was driven by spot purchases, with restrained leverage usage. Last week, the US Bitcoin spot ETF saw net inflows close to $1 billion — the authenticity of the buying is more worth watching than the price itself. Treasury company Bitmine bought another 51,000 ETH, about $126 million, continuously accumulating which provides some support for ETH.
Hyperliquid plans to enter the US market, and two former SEC and CFTC officials jointly called for regulations on the offshore perpetual contract market, which is about $90 trillion in scale; after the news, a whale staked 489,000 HYPE, with a floating profit of about 138% over five months. However, how the rules will be set and when they will be implemented remain unknown.
Risks cannot be ignored either. Injective lost about $4.9 million due to an oracle vulnerability and halted its chain for 4 hours; Ontology preemptively paused block production; Pump.fun sold another 133,000 SOL, totaling 5.11 million SOL sold, about $830 million, at an average price of $163, maintaining selling pressure above SOL.
Spot buying is real, but the expectation of a rate hike in September still looms overhead; managing position size is more important than guessing direction. Right now, many people are worried that there might be an interest rate hike in September, and whether this means the BTC and ETH bull market is about to end?
Currently, the market has priced in a 66% probability of a rate hike in September. So let's objectively think about whether the Federal Reserve can actually raise rates and whether it dares to continue raising rates?
Let's just say, even if there really is a rate hike in September, so what?
One key point everyone needs to understand is that even if the Federal Reserve hasn't officially started raising rates, the market has already completed part of a disguised rate hike in advance.
After Powell's speech, the two-year US Treasury yield directly rose by 15 basis points, meaning the market has already effectively raised rates in advance, whether or not you raise rates, the market has already done so.
The negative impact of the rate hike has already been reflected on the charts to some extent; what needed to fall has already fallen once.
Under these circumstances, even if the rate hike is actually implemented later, the impact won't be particularly large, as expectations have already been largely priced in.
To say it again, this round of correction would have come sooner or later even without Powell's hawkish remarks; his speech just acted as a fuse.
After a big surge, a period of consolidation and profit-taking is normal market behavior.
In the long term, this wave will definitely see BTC break 120,000 and ETH 5,000 $OKB Finally, OpenSea has officially launched Solana NFT trading. Counting from the 2022 beta version, Solana is the first non-EVM chain it has supported in 4 years, so this cannot be simply described as a new listing.
The entry value of an NFT marketplace depends on whether users can see assets from multiple chains in one place. OpenSea supporting Solana means it no longer only competes with the Ethereum NFT market but instead competes for cross-chain collectors and trading liquidity. This is what I believe to be the true moat of an NFT platform, including but not limited to wallets, search, trading, royalties, discovery, and cross-chain distribution.
Of course, after cross-chain integration, wallet, signature, and security issues become more complex. When choosing an NFT platform, remember to check chain coverage, official contracts, and signature prompts. Don’t just look at trading volume, and don’t assume all collections are safe just because the platform supports a new chain. It is recommended to test with a small wallet first and not connect your main wallet directly to a new page."TRUMP: The real big market move may not have started yet"
Recently, $TRUMP hasn't shown any particularly strong trend. The current price is around $2.4, having dropped more than 96% from the all-time high of $73.43; but since hitting a historical low of about $1.37 in mid-August, the price has started to show clear low-level oscillations. So now, simply discussing "whether it can fall further" is no longer very meaningful. What I am more concerned about is this:
In the next two months, $TRUMP may enter a very sensitive political trading cycle.
The 2026 U.S. midterm elections are approaching. November 3rd is the official voting day.
And TRUMP, as a Meme coin, is highly tied to Donald Trump's personal political influence. So from now on, market trading may no longer be just about candlestick charts. Instead, it will be about: Trump's approval ratings, the Republican Party's election prospects, and the market's expectations for the midterm election results.
Surveys at the end of August showed Trump's approval rating at only 33%, and Democratic voters' enthusiasm to vote is clearly higher than that of Republicans.
The market already has an "election expectation gap" to speculate on. What Meme coins excel at is: trading expectations first.
Assuming Trump's camp ultimately performs very poorly, then the market will be trading not just on "how many seats the Republicans lost." Instead, assets like $TRUMP, which heavily rely on Trump's personal narrative, could very likely face a very severe valuation compression.The market is stuck.
BTC and ETH are both consolidating sideways.
The 78000 level is like a stubborn band-aid, neither removable nor shakeable.
The trading volume at 79500 is like a fly's leg—too little for bulls to even wedge in, and not enough to scare bears away.
ETH continues to be squeezed, oscillating between 2350 and 2480 with a suffocatingly narrow range.
SOL is playing dead, ZEC is lying flat; forget about momentum trades, there’s not even a hint of wind—just funds inside the market digging into each other's pockets.
TRUMP and LAB occasionally twitch, chasing them leads to getting stuck, and running late means getting buried.
ZORA’s surge at dawn was like a ghost; retail investors woke up to find the bull already gone, leaving only the cold wind at the peak.
BTC is steady as an old dog, while altcoins jump up and down—not sector rotation, but a liquidity meat grinder.
Remember, pumping to dump isn’t charity; they’re eyeing the small change in your account.
In terms of strategy, BTC won’t move without volume breaking 80000; Ethereum won’t be watched unless it holds above 2520.
For small coins, if you’re itchy, take a 1% position to try your luck; profit or loss is fate, don’t get carried away.
Stop losses must be decisive, and your posture should look good. Bottom fishing? Wait for a dip to 75000 first; right now, it’s all mid-mountain.
Don’t let candlesticks set the rhythm; most news is noise. Employment data? Wash? It’s all a script, just an excuse for volatility.
#就业数据密集公布，沃什政策立场受检验
#BTC高位震荡，与黄金联动增强 OIL IS BACK ABOVE $90, AND MACRO IS GETTING LOUDER
Bitcoin is trading around $78,780 as tensions in the Middle East intensify and shipping risks around the Strait of Hormuz increase.
The headline is geopolitical.
But the more important story for Bitcoin is what happens to oil, inflation and liquidity.
Rising Brent crude back above $90 could increase inflation expectations.
Higher inflation expectations can influence Federal Reserve policy expectations.
If markets begin pricing fewer or later rate cuts, Treasury yields could rise and liquidity conditions could tighten.
That creates pressure on risk assets, including crypto.
The transmission chain is what matters:
Geopolitical tension → oil rises → inflation expectations increase → Fed expectations shift → yields and liquidity change → BTC reacts.
At the same time, there is another side to the story.
During periods of geopolitical uncertainty, some investors may view Bitcoin as an alternative hedge alongside traditional assets such as gold.
But that doesn't mean BTC automatically becomes a safe-haven asset every time tensions escalate.
Short-term liquidity still matters.
That's why I'm not trying to trade the headline itself.
I'm watching the variables underneath it.
Brent crude.
U.S. Treasury yields.
Dollar strength
ETF flows
And most importantly, how Bitcoin reacts to them
BTC is currently around $78.8K, so the market is still sitting in an important decision area
If oil stabilizes and yields stop climbing, risk appetite could gradually improve and give Bitcoin another opportunity to strengthen
If oil continues higher while yields rise sharply, the pressure on BTC could increase even if the long-term structure remains constructive
Personally, I'm still leaning toward a gradual return of bullish conditions.
But I don't think this is the moment for blind speculation
The market can change direction quickly when geopolitics and monetary policy collide
Don't trade the headline
Trade the transmission.
Watch oil.
Watch yields.
Watch liquidity.
Then watch how BTC responds.
$BTC $ETH $SOL Since the last purchase of 520 $BTC by $MSTR at an average price of about $67,068 between June 15 and 21, after more than two months, MSTR has bought Bitcoin again, this time purchasing 4,603 coins at an average price of $80,318, with a total value of $369.7 million.
During these two-plus months, MSTR sold a total of 6,948 BTC, receiving approximately $430 million, with an average price around $62,000. From a mathematical perspective, this does seem a bit like a "losing trade," but given the circumstances at the time, selling BTC to repurchase preferred stock was also the right move.
In the past week, Strategy sold 4,531,421 shares of MSTR common stock on the market through ATM, generating $602.8 million in revenue. Besides using $369.7 million to buy Bitcoin, it also used $151.8 million to repurchase $STRC, paid $50.7 million in STRC dividends, and increased cash reserves by $30 million.
Currently, MSTR still has a remaining issuance capacity of $19.0908 billion under the ATM. While everyone is focused on the price of Bitcoin,
a warning signal has first emerged from Japan.
The 2-year interest rate is 1.746%.
This is the highest level in 31 years.
Even more concerning is the yen.
The interest rate spread between the US and Japan for 2-year bonds has narrowed to 2.64%, yet the yen has broken through the 160 yen per US dollar mark.
This means the market is paying attention to more than just simple interest rate differences.
Yen carry trades.
Borrowing cheap yen to invest in overseas risk assets.
Bitcoin may also be affected by these funds.
The problem arises when the yen suddenly strengthens.
The burden of repaying borrowed yen gradually increases,
investors may sell assets like Bitcoin to convert to cash.
This kind of movement also occurred in August 2024.
At that time, Bitcoin and Ethereum dropped by 20%.
The Bank of Japan's rate hike in September itself is not important,
what matters more is how much of the accumulated yen carry positions remain.
Japan injected as much as 15.4 trillion yen, or 97 billion USD, from late July to late August.
However, the yen once again broke through 160 yen.
Even with rate hikes, the currency still weakens,
this is the core variable now.
More important than the Bank of Japan's decision in September is the sharp rise in the yen →
the extent of carry trade liquidation needs closer monitoring.
Even if Bitcoin holds at $79,000,
if this trend changes, the situation could be different.
Will the risks originating from Japan truly be reflected in the price?Continuing from the last part, let's talk about why I suddenly became a fan of $ZEC and believe it is very likely to outperform BTC and ETH in this cycle.
There are four reasons:
1. Asset Form - If you entered the crypto space around 2017-2018, you must have heard the phrase "Bitcoin is gold, Litecoin is silver." At that time, Litecoin also lacked "empowering" features like smart contracts; it was just a faster, cheaper BTC fork. But because it came early, the market gave it the asset attribute of "silver."
I remember back then some people forcibly attributed the functional property of "Bitcoin code testing ground" to LTC, trying to find value support for it.
Later, BTC went through Lightning Network, various forks, the big block vs. small block debate, then inscriptions, runes, L2, Taproot, RGB... After two or three cycles of turmoil, the market voted with its feet and concluded that only BTC itself has value. The consensus of digital gold was basically established, both for retail investors and Wall Street. All other so-called "functional" things were left to ETH, Solana, and other chains.
Thus, we entered a new phase. On one hand, the crypto space is best at "issuing assets," which peaked during the pump era. On the other hand, with the failure of the older generation represented by LTC and the newer generation represented by inscriptions, the label of "non-functional long-term valuable asset" still belongs only to BTC. So people joke that BTC is the biggest Meme. Doge, Pepe, etc., might count as half? But first, their market caps are not large enough, and they haven't survived long enough. Second, you can say BTC is a Meme, but it's hard to say the top Memes are digital gold or silver.
The market has actually been looking for a second "non-functional long-term valuable" digital asset besides BTC.
This asset cannot be a pure Meme but can be regarded as a Meme.
This asset must be like BTC but sufficiently different from BTC. It must have a very unique attribute of its own, not just "faster, cheaper BTC" or "BTC code testing ground" like LTC.
This asset must have gone through at least one full bull and bear cycle and lived long enough. Because for non-functional assets, history itself is part of the value.
More importantly, it must answer a big question that BTC itself cannot answer but is equally grand.
BTC solves the problem of public, verifiable, censorship-resistant digital scarcity; ZEC complements the other side: it turns "privacy" itself into a monetary attribute.
More interestingly, this privacy does not require everyone to use it. Institutions can hold transparently and accept audits, while individuals still have the option to enter a private state when needed.
So what ZEC truly offers is a "right to privacy for everyone." It has a monetary asset DNA similar to BTC but also has a distinct, irreplaceable independent attribute.
So after thinking it through, I found ZEC is the best candidate, bar none.
2. Market Preference - Whether this rebound or bull market, you will find pure Memes and VC air coins are not favored. Besides BTC, only two types of assets have heat. One is those with good data, real users, and revenue, represented by Hyperliquid and Uniswap. The other is assets institutions are willing to hold and buy, including the first data-driven type and those institutions are optimistic about or can temporarily ignore current data for some reason, represented by XRP, ZEC, and TAO.
In other words, if this cycle has an altcoin season, you should buy altcoins favored and repriced by institutional funds, not those favored by retail.
3. Chip Structure - ZEC has two highs: 700 in November last year and 880 in 2018. The 700 level has been broken. As long as it effectively breaks the major previous high of 880 from 2018, ZEC will enter a price discovery range with almost no trapped positions in mainstream trading history.
Everyone must remember the price rallies after BTC broke previous highs. Compared to BTC's trapped positions at 80,000-100,000 and ETH's at 3,000-4,000, the potential selling pressure after ZEC breaks 880 is much better than those two chip structures. Moreover, these are highs from 8 years ago. Theoretically, after breaking 700 now, there should be no large trapped positions above.
4. Consensus Divergence - My impression is that Naval was the first to call ZEC's start, and then this consensus gradually spread, with more retail and institutions accepting it. But at the same time, bigger divergences arose due to ZEC's rise. Currently, Western consensus on ZEC is higher than Eastern, possibly because Western culture is naturally more sensitive and attentive to privacy than Asia.
Looking at crypto history, heat plus divergence is the biggest driver for a token's rise. Look back at BTC in 2013, ETH in 2017, Solana in 2021, inscriptions in 2023, etc. All rose amid huge controversies. Market-wide consensus doesn't form quickly, but once it does, the peak is usually near. Think about "always lacking storage" two months ago and "the best summer of Korean girl group golden age"...
So after breaking 700, I buy when the price is right, and once it completely breaks 880, I stop buying. Of course, nothing is perfect; I think ZEC can outperform BTC and ETH, but when it falls, its risk is also much higher than those two, so DYOR.$XRP Behind XRP's 40% Surge: Who's Buying, Who's Running?
XRP has surged 40% in the past two weeks, but interestingly, futures open interest has dropped by 16%. Funds are rotating — retail and leveraged funds are closing positions and withdrawing on exchanges outside CME, leveraged funds' net shorts have more than doubled, while CME's institutional holdings have increased from 10% to 17%.
On the other hand, spot ETFs have seen net inflows for 9 consecutive days, totaling $1.6 billion, with institutions like Goldman Sachs and Jane Street continuously accumulating.
In short, this is not a retail sentiment-driven leveraged bull run, but institutions positioning through the ETF channel. Short sellers are adding positions while longs are absorbing them simultaneously, making the battle very intense. $XRP $BTC $ETH $LAB Bitcoin oscillates around 78,000, Ethereum continues to attract capital
Will LAB rise?
Capital differentiation: Bitcoin outflows, Ethereum inflows
Bitcoin spot ETF ended a nine-day consecutive rise, recording $202 million outflows last Friday, with $82,000 repeatedly tested but unsuccessful. Ethereum ETF saw a net inflow of $87.68 million, marking the 11th consecutive day of net inflows, with BlackRock's ETHA leading single-day inflows at $59.93 million. Ethereum recorded a net inflow of $195 million in the past 24 hours, becoming the most prominent target for capital inflows, signaling a rotation in the market from Bitcoin to Ethereum.
Key levels
Bitcoin's short-term support is at $76,500, with resistance between $79,800-$80,000; regaining above $80,000 is needed to restore sentiment. Ethereum's support is at $2,420-$2,450, with resistance between $2,550-$2,600.
Macro remains the biggest constraint
The probability of a Fed rate hike in September has risen to 64%, much higher than the 36% before the Jackson Hole speech. The US 10-year Treasury yield climbed to 4.78%. This Friday's August nonfarm payroll report will be the last key data before the FOMC meeting.
After surging 24% in August, Bitcoin's ability to hold around $78,000 indicates spot buying support remains. However, the rate hike expectations combined with ETF capital differentiation make the short-term direction unclear. Whether Bitcoin can hold above $80,000 and whether Ethereum can continue to attract capital are the core uncertainties for September. Writing
$ARB just experienced a surge driven by news, so I opened a small short position to test this trend 👊
$ARB rose from $0.083 to $0.109 today, an increase of about 24%, with a trading volume of 82.29M.
What was the catalyst for this rise? OpenSea resumed support for Solana NFT trading.
However, this news has no direct fundamental connection to $ARB itself, so this rise seems more like a spillover of the overall sector sentiment heating up and funds flowing into $ARB.
Such rapid surges driven by news are often hard to sustain long-term. Once the initial hype fades, I will focus on whether a pullback occurs.

🔥 Market Indicator | 2026-09-01
Today's three hot topics point to the same theme: Wash’s hawkish tone faces the ultimate test from employment data; Bitcoin and gold deeply linked under "fiat credit revaluation"; AI hardware returns enter a sustainability verification period.
📊 Nonfarm hits this Friday: Can Wash’s "hawk" withstand the data "blade"?
At 20:30 Beijing time on September 4, the US August nonfarm employment report will be released. The market expects new jobs of 58,000-65,000, previous value -23,000; unemployment rate expected to hold at 4.1%.
Last week, Fed Chair Wash gave his first keynote speech since taking office at Jackson Hole, clearly stating inflation remains "too high" and "there is more work to do." The market quickly pushed the September rate hike probability to 60%. However, nonfarm has been weak for three consecutive times—if this week’s data weakens again, Wash’s hawkish stance will face a severe test. Goldman Sachs expects August core CPI month-on-month rise around 0.2%, suggesting FOMC will hold steady; JPMorgan emphasizes the "more important news" deciding September meeting results is this week’s nonfarm and next week’s CPI.
₿ BTC consolidates at highs: gold linkage strengthens, rate hike expectations pressure
Bitcoin rose 28% in August, once breaking $81,000, but fell back under pressure after Wash’s hawkish speech, currently oscillating between $78,000-$79,000; spot gold also pressured, briefly dipping below $4,450 intraday.
The core logic driving prior synchronous strength is "fiat credit revaluation"—in the past five trading days, gold and Bitcoin ETFs attracted a record $7 billion inflow combined. But after Wash’s speech, Bitcoin ETFs saw outflows again, and a stronger dollar suppressed gold and Bitcoin. Rising rate hike expectations are short-term suppressing "non-government credit assets" momentum—but if this week’s nonfarm data is weak, rate hike expectations may quickly collapse, allowing Bitcoin and gold to regain upward momentum.
🖥️ Broadcom and Dell take over: AI hardware returns face re-examination
Following Nvidia’s explosive $96.2 billion revenue report, the AI hardware sector faces a new round of tests this week.
Broadcom will release Q3 earnings after market close on September 2. Market expects total revenue around $29.4 billion, up 84% year-on-year; AI semiconductor revenue expected at $16 billion, with growth over 200%. JPMorgan expects 2026 full-year AI revenue to exceed $56 billion.
Dell will release Q2 earnings after market close on September 1. The company’s AI server backlog reaches $51.3 billion, quarterly AI orders $24.4 billion; AI server revenue expected around $15.5 billion. But margin pressure is notable—AI servers usually have low margins, and the market will focus on whether the Infrastructure Solutions Group can improve margins from 10.5%.
💎 Summary
Three matters sketch the same picture: this Friday’s nonfarm will test Wash’s hawkish "more work to do" stance—if employment weakens again, the 60% rate hike expectation may quickly collapse; Bitcoin and gold are deeply linked under "fiat credit revaluation" but are short-term pressured by rate hike expectations; Broadcom and Dell’s earnings will successively verify AI hardware return sustainability, with margin pressure becoming a new focus.
Mapping to the SPCX contract market, bears used a violent 14.95x leverage to clear long leverage, but 24-hour liquidation concentration is only 21.7%, indicating large-scale liquidation pressure mainly came from the same period yesterday, not a continuous snowball effect. The N-shaped leverage trajectory reveals a key signal: bears completed a "blitzkrieg" in the 4-hour window but exhausted follow-up momentum later. The current market is not yet directionally decided but is defensively positioned before three major uncertainties land—using shorts to hedge macro and earnings uncertainties. Direction choice awaits nonfarm release. #就业数据密集公布，沃什政策立场受检验

#财报观察员：博通与戴尔接棒，AI回报再受检验 From $73 down to $1.6, who is still speculating on $TRUMP?
The "President Coin" that once surged to $73 has now dropped to $1.6, a 97% decline. This is not a correction; it's a zeroing halving.
TRUMP's current market cap is 382 million, with a daily increase of 1% and a weekly increase of 1.8%. It looks stable, but compared to its historical peak, it's trash. Its fatal flaw is clear: purely driven by political narratives. Whenever Trump tweets or news breaks, it surges or crashes. After the July spike riding election expectations, it has been buried all the way down, and those who bought high are still stuck. It’s listed on OKX’s hot search with a 1.6% drop, indicating waning interest.
My honest opinion: TRUMP is a typical "event-driven meme" coin, suitable for positioning before major Trump moves and exiting once news lands. Holding long-term means taking the bag.
The Trump family’s crypto business (World Liberty Financial) is also embroiled in conflicts of interest controversies. Policy benefits and pump-and-dump schemes are just a thin line apart. You can try it, but treat it like a lottery ticket, not an asset.September Chessboard: BTC Awaits New Direction Amid Macro Squeeze
In August, BTC surged and then retreated, starting from the $60,000 range, reaching as high as $81,300, with a monthly increase of over 20%. However, the rally did not continue until the end of the month. The escalation of the US-Iran situation caused international oil prices to surge sharply, with Brent crude oil rising nearly 6% at one point. The oil price volatility reignited inflation concerns, shaking the previously stable expectations of rate cuts, and even sparked market discussions about the risk of rate hikes. As a result, BTC reversed downward from $81,300, retreating to the $78,000 range.
The current core battleground is not the daily ups and downs but the persistence of macro pressure. If oil prices remain high, they will constrain the Federal Reserve's policy flexibility, putting pressure on risk assets; if the situation eases and oil prices fall, rate concerns will ease, allowing BTC to catch a breather.
BTC is currently fighting on two fronts: it needs to digest the profits from the previous rapid rise while being wary of the macro "ceiling" formed by oil prices and rate expectations.
Entering September, the key observation is the effectiveness of the $78,000 support. If it can stabilize and then retake $80,000, market confidence is expected to recover; if it fails, the previous upward logic needs to be reassessed. September is a month of waiting and choosing.
$BTC $ETH There are new developments at Crypto Treasury, with Strategy restarting coin purchases and BitMine continuing to increase its ETH holdings.
After a pause of about ten weeks, Strategy made a move again last week, buying 4,603 BTC at an average price of $80,318, spending approximately $370 million. The funds came from selling its own stock $MSTR, with the remainder used to repurchase preferred shares and pay dividends. The total holding is 845,050 BTC, with an average cost of $75,412, finally showing a paper profit.
BitMine is taking a different path—continuously increasing holdings for 65 weeks straight, last week buying another 53,501 $ETH. The total holding is 5.9 million tokens, accounting for 4.9% of the total network supply, of which 5.07 million are staked, generating about $335 million annually in staking income alone.
The divergence between the two models is becoming increasingly clear. The BTC bought by Strategy itself does not generate income and carries the interest burden of preferred shares and convertible bonds, with fixed annual expenses close to $1.8 billion. BitMine covers its expenses through staking income alone, able to sustain operations without selling assets.
Back to Bitcoin $BTC, the continuous buying by these two companies indeed supports institutional demand. However, old issues like dilution, asset concentration, and price volatility remain. For investors, the comparison is no longer just about which between BTC and ETH rises more—it’s about which of these two models can sustainably increase the per-share asset value. #Strategy与BitMine同步增持 Last night’s SNDK movement, after watching it, I just want to say one thing: the market maker is teaching a lesson again.
First, there was a bullish candle pulling up to 1543, looking like a breakout. As soon as long positions were placed, several bearish candles slammed down, breaking through 1451 directly, wiping out all long stop losses without exception. Just when you thought "this might crash," it reversed with a big bullish candle up to 1579, leaving the shorts no time to react before being taken out. It eats both sides without mercy.
With this kind of movement, technical analysis basically fails; you have to look at the underlying factors.
SNDK was included in the MSCI index, so index funds passively bought it during the close, forcibly pushing it up. Bernstein also came out to support it, listing it as the top pick in the storage sector, betting on AI inference and KV cache continuing to drive demand for high-capacity SSDs. The story is consistent, and the logic makes sense.
Looking at the levels, 1418 was the first bottom, 1440 the second, and last night’s low was 1451, each bottom higher than the last. This is not a breakdown; it’s using negative news to scare out weak holders, then big money slowly accumulates. But I have to be clear, this is not a position to chase blindly now; RSI is already close to 60, so rushing in risks a pullback.
So what I’m waiting for is just one thing: a pullback to around 1480 to 1500 to buy in batches, with a stop loss below 1450, and a target between 1550 and 1580. If there’s no opportunity, I won’t trade; it’s better than chasing halfway up the mountain. $SNDK Tonight's Nonfarm Preview: Data Quality May Determine September Rate Hike Path, Crypto Market Faces Critical Test
1. Market Background: Hawkish Expectations Fully Priced In
Since Federal Reserve Chair Powell delivered a clear hawkish signal at the Jackson Hole Global Central Banking Symposium, market expectations for a September rate hike have surged — the probability of a 25 basis point hike in September has jumped from about 35% before the meeting to 57%-60%. The latest CME FedWatch data shows this probability has even reached 65.4%. Meanwhile, a December rate hike is fully priced in by the market.
Powell's core stance is clear: inflation remains the central concern, and the Fed must see core inflation "clearly and at a sufficiently fast pace" converging toward the 2% target. In other words, as long as employment does not collapse, the Fed has reason to continue tightening.
2. Nonfarm Data Forecast: Significant Divergence
Various institutions have markedly different forecasts for tonight's August nonfarm payrolls:
Institution New Job Additions Forecast Unemployment Rate Forecast
Reuters Survey (Market Consensus) +58,000 4.1%
Bloomberg 53 Analysts Consensus +55,000 4.1%
ING +65,000 —
Deutsche Bank +65,000 —
Wells Fargo/NBC +80,000 4.1%
Better-than-expected nonfarm → September rate hike probability jumps → USD strengthens + US Treasury yields rise → Risk assets (tech stocks, cryptocurrencies) face valuation pressure → Crypto market declines
Currently, Bitcoin is oscillating near $80,000, already at a key resistance zone. A period of pullback is needed to build momentum for a micro rally and prepare for a stronger surge. I still favor short-term short positions at present. Employment data hasn't been released yet, but BTC, ETH, and SOL have already given three completely different signals.
Currently, BTC is still around 79,000, but ETH is only about 2,480, and SOL is near 104.
If you look at BTC alone, it's easy to think the market is still quite strong.
But when you look at the three major coins together, the feeling is completely different.
BTC holding the high ground indicates that funds haven't clearly withdrawn for now; ETH not continuing to surge suggests that funds are noticeably cautious about more volatile coins; SOL still has some elasticity but hasn't shown real acceleration.
So now I actually feel that the most worth watching this week isn't "whether the non-farm payrolls are good or not," but who moves first after the data comes out.
If the employment data is weak, and BTC breaks through 80,000 first while ETH and SOL start catching up, that means funds are beginning to spread out again.
But if BTC surges only to be pushed back down, and ETH and SOL remain weak, then it's not just simple volatility; funds are actively reducing risk.
This is also why I'm currently reluctant to chase the first wave.
Before the data release, every direction has a story; after the data release, only the real reaction of funds can't be deceived.
The real big market move this week might not be the data itself, but which major coin first loses support after the data is out.
Are you more focused on BTC now, or waiting for ETH and SOL to catch up? #就业数据密集公布，沃什政策立场受检验 $BTC $ETH $SOL Robinhood Chain has just delivered a set of very impressive data:
It processed 5.52 million transactions in a single day, with a DEX trading volume of about $875 million, created approximately 22,600 tokens in one day, and on-chain application revenue reached $2.66 million.
This revenue is about twice that of Ethereum applications, second only to Solana's $5.07 million.
But there is a detail easily overlooked by headlines: the $2.66 million is the income earned by on-chain applications, not the revenue directly obtained by Robinhood company or the underlying public chain.
Moreover, GMGN, Pons, and Uniswap contributed about 88% of the revenue, and the main driver is not the tokenized US stocks initially promoted by Robinhood, but Memecoin trading and rapid token issuance.
This data proves that Robinhood Chain has successfully attracted traffic, but it cannot yet prove that it has established a sustainable financial ecosystem.
When I judge whether a new chain is truly mature, I continue to observe three things:
Whether activity can be maintained for weeks, not just a few days
Whether revenue is long-term concentrated in token issuance and speculative tools
Whether tokenized stocks can form real holdings, rather than just short-term trading volume
High transaction numbers can create hype, but the real moat comes from users willing to keep assets long-term.
If a chain focused on tokenized US stocks ultimately earns revenue through Memecoin, is that a product success or a deviation from its direction? 📊 LAB Contract Liquidation Express (2026-09-01)

The community quickly concocted a new big promise: institutional investors will enter the market in September to take over.
This script has been overused for a long time.
Once the market can't withstand the decline, talk of institutional entry, positive news, and cooperation floods in.
Essentially, it's a sedative for deeply trapped retail investors, dangling illusory hopes, forcing everyone to stubbornly hold their tokens to avoid a concentrated stampede crash.
The facade is deliberately dressed up to look glamorous, but the foundation has long been rotten like a sieve, and the project team simply shuts down to avoid public scrutiny.
The vulnerability review is repeatedly delayed, the destination of the newly minted massive tokens is a mystery, and they can be dumped to crash the market at any time.
The fundamental issuance mechanism has caused a huge blunder, the underlying system is shaky, and still fantasizing that institutions will throw money into this mess to put out the fire? Purely wishful thinking.
SatPay and BTCFi slogans are shouted loudly, but consecutive failures are already a foregone conclusion.
The primary task of institutional entry is risk control screening; how can a project that just exploded with massive unexpected minting and has no reliable underlying rules attract large funds?
Those trapped always foolishly wait for a savior to redeem them.
Reality is especially cold, and rumors are just temporary anesthetics to stabilize emotions.
The huge amount of tokens minted additionally will ultimately be taken on tearfully by retail investors holding on inside the market.
The decentralized dream woven over many years has just shattered, and a new round of pie-in-the-sky drama has already hurriedly begun. $SNDK's surge at dawn was a forced ride by the index?
SanDisk's sharp rise at dawn was due to being "forced on board" by the MSCI index—all tracking funds had to buy at a set point, and passive buying directly pushed the price up. But such a strong rise relies on the hard logic of AI storage: massive growth in inference data, SanDisk locking in the sector, plus signing long-term contracts that secure future shipments, making performance highly certain. For crypto traders, this is an opportunity where sentiment and liquidity resonate, and the race is to see who first understands the liquidity inflection point.

A normal person's first reaction would be: leverage is piling up, shorts are being crushed, a typical short squeeze. But the data shows the opposite: open interest in futures across the market dropped by 16%, from 2.77 billion to 2.34 billion. As prices rise, leverage is withdrawing. Even more counterintuitive is another set of numbers: leveraged funds' net short exposure to XRP on the CME doubled from 57 million to 116 million. The price rose 40%, but professional funds are adding shorts. This is the part of this news that feels most off. Changing the subject to "that net short position" Most interpretations place the subject on "XRP price" and then tell a story of "compliant institutions entering the market and retail investors retreating." But if you change the subject to "that net short exposure," the whole narrative changes. A net short of 116 million XRP was built during the most frenzied price period. This is not bearish; it is hedging. The leveraged fund species has a fundamental difference from retail investors: they almost never go long or short without exposure. When they add short positions on the CME, there is likely a spot long position on the other side of the ledger. They are not betting on XRP to fall, but are buying insurance for their spot positions. What does this mean? This means the core driving force behind this round of rally may not be in the derivatives market at all, but in the spot market. Spot buying drives prices up, while professional funds hedge on the futures side. The higher the price,📊 KAITO Contract Liquidation Express (2026-09-01)

🔥 Market Wind Vane | 2026-09-01
Today's three hot topics point to the same theme: Wash's hawkish tone faces the ultimate test with employment data; Bitcoin and gold deeply linked under "fiat credit revaluation"; AI hardware returns enter a sustainability verification period.
📊 Nonfarm arrives this Friday: Can Wash's "hawk" withstand the "blade" of data?
At 20:30 Beijing time on September 4, the US August nonfarm employment report will be released. The market expects new jobs of 58,000-65,000, previous value -23,000; unemployment rate expected to remain at 4.1%.
Last week, Fed Chair Wash gave his first keynote speech since taking office at Jackson Hole, clearly stating inflation is still "too high" and "there is work to do." The market quickly pushed the September rate hike probability to 60%. However, nonfarm has been weak for three consecutive times—if this week's data weakens again, Wash's hawkish stance will face a severe test. Goldman Sachs expects August core CPI month-on-month rise around 0.2%, suggesting FOMC will hold steady; JPMorgan emphasizes the "more important news" deciding September meeting results is this week's nonfarm and next week's CPI.
₿ BTC consolidates at high levels: gold linkage strengthens, rate hike expectations pressure
Bitcoin rose 28% in August, once breaking $81,000, but fell under pressure after Wash's hawkish speech, currently oscillating between $78,000-$79,000; spot gold also pressured, briefly dropping below $4,450 intraday.
The core logic driving the prior synchronous strength is "fiat credit revaluation"—in the past five trading days, gold and Bitcoin ETFs attracted a record $7 billion inflow combined. But after Wash's speech, Bitcoin ETFs saw outflows again, and a stronger dollar suppressed gold and Bitcoin. Rising rate hike expectations are short-term suppressing "non-government credit assets" upward momentum—but if this week's nonfarm data is weak, rate hike expectations may quickly collapse, allowing Bitcoin and gold to regain upward momentum.
🖥️ Broadcom and Dell take over: AI hardware returns face re-examination
Following Nvidia's explosive $96.2 billion revenue report, the AI hardware sector faces a new round of tests this week.
Broadcom will release Q3 earnings after market close on September 2. Market expects total revenue about $29.4 billion, up 84% year-on-year; AI semiconductor revenue expected at $16 billion, with growth over 200%. JPMorgan expects 2026 full-year AI revenue to exceed $56 billion.
Dell will release Q2 earnings after market close on September 1. The company has $51.3 billion AI server backlog, quarterly AI orders $24.4 billion; AI server revenue expected about $15.5 billion. But profit margin pressure is notable—AI servers usually have low margins, market will focus on whether Infrastructure Solutions Group margin can improve from 10.5%.
💎 Summary
Three matters sketch the same picture: this Friday's nonfarm will test Wash's hawkish "work to do" stance—if employment weakens again, the 60% rate hike expectation may quickly collapse; Bitcoin and gold deeply linked under "fiat credit revaluation" but short-term pressured by rate hike expectations; Broadcom and Dell's earnings will successively verify AI hardware return sustainability, with margin pressure becoming a new focus.
Mapping to the KAITO contract market, bears used a violent 14.95x leverage to clear long leverage, but 24-hour liquidation concentration is only 21.7%, indicating large-scale liquidation pressure mainly came from the same period yesterday, not a continuous snowball spread. The N-shaped leverage trajectory reveals a key signal: bears completed a "blitzkrieg" in the 4-hour window but exhausted follow-up momentum later. The current market is not yet directional but a defensive stance before three major uncertainties land—using shorts to hedge macro and earnings uncertainties. Direction choice awaits nonfarm release. #就业数据密集公布，沃什政策立场受检验

Old Huang has made a move again.
$3.5 billion was used to buy MediaTek's convertible bonds. These bonds have a tough feature — zero coupon interest rate, no interest for five years.
What is Old Huang aiming for?
He aims to tie MediaTek's AI chip business into his own ecosystem.
The smartphone chip market is already too competitive to grow; MediaTek's revenue is increasing but profits are declining. The data center custom chip market is $80 billion, currently monopolized by Broadcom and Marvell. MediaTek's AI chip is expected to reach $2 billion this year, with a goal to capture 15% market share by 2027. Nvidia's $3.5 billion is the door opener for this entry.
The impact on the crypto world is twofold.
First, capital expenditure on AI infrastructure continues to rise. Nvidia has tied up with MediaTek again this year. The cost of computing power won't drop in the short term; miners and AI projects still have to bear hardware costs, but the demand base is becoming more stable.
Second, Nvidia is transforming from a GPU seller into the definer of AI data center standards. Once NVLink Fusion becomes the industry standard, all AI chips will have to play by its rules. Standardization of computing infrastructure will reduce fragmentation costs in the long run, indirectly benefiting AI tracks and DePIN projects in the crypto space.
Here is my view.
The essence of this deal is not about the money but about locking in the ecosystem position. The more expensive the computing power, the stronger the AI infrastructure; Bitcoin, as the "most primitive expression of computing power," has an even stronger foundational narrative.
$BTC Why can drones costing a few thousand dollars give air defense systems worth billions of dollars a headache?
Many people, when first seeing counter-drone measures, might think it's just about "shooting down drones." The real issue lies in the cost.
Traditional air defense systems mainly use missiles for interception. A cheap drone might only be worth a few thousand to tens of thousands of dollars, but you might have to fire a missile costing tens of thousands or even more. An occasional drone isn't a big deal, but if dozens or hundreds come at once, what might give out first isn't the air defense capability but the budget and ammunition stock.
That's why the defense industry is researching how to cheaply take down drones. There are roughly three methods: radar to detect them first, electronic warfare to directly disrupt their communication and navigation, and finally, using directed energy weapons like lasers to directly burn the target.
The investment logic here is easy to understand: the cheaper and more numerous the drones, the more countries need radar, electronic warfare, lasers, and counter-drone systems.
In the past, air defense was about how far missiles could fly; now it also has to consider one thing: how much does it cost to shoot down a single drone.#Strategy and BitMine Increase Holdings in Sync
Crypto whales keep moving: MicroStrategy announced the completion of a new round of stock issuance and continues to accumulate BTC. Meanwhile, leading mining company BitMine also announced an expansion of its Bitcoin spot reserves. Institutional buying at high levels shows real money doubling down!
The synchronized increase by giants reveals three core signals:
Institutional long-term logic remains unaffected by interest rate hikes: Even if there are short-term macro interest rate expectation gaps, top holding institutions still regard BTC as a strategic reserve on their balance sheets and firmly execute dollar-cost averaging strategies during pullbacks.
Mining companies shift from selling coins to hoarding coins: With mining costs rising after the halving, leading miners retain spot exposure through diversified financing, reducing secondary market selling pressure and improving supply-demand fundamentals.
Concentration of chips further increases: Low-cost chips in circulation are continuously withdrawn and locked in whale cold wallets, laying a strong liquidity tightening foundation for future market explosions.
With giants openly going long, do you think this high-level accumulation leads the main upward wave or increases volatility risk?
$BTC $MSTR #BTC #MicroStrategy #Employment data released intensively, Wash's policy stance under scrutiny
This week is the "super week" for U.S. employment data, with JOLTS job openings, ADP, initial jobless claims, and August nonfarm payrolls being released intensively. This "four-hit" data directly determines the final pricing of the September FOMC.
Wash turns hawkish, and the market immediately reacts.
Federal Reserve Chair Wash bluntly stated in his keynote speech at Jackson Hole that current financial conditions are "hard to call restrictive," the 2% inflation target is "firm and unwavering," and if inflation does not clearly and quickly decline, the Fed "still has work to do." After the speech, the probability of a rate hike in September jumped from 35% to 65.4%. A rate hike has shifted from a "low probability" to a "high probability."
More importantly, Wash redefined the significance of employment data. In his view, as long as employment does not collapse, it is not a reason to avoid raising rates. Inflation is the only decisive indicator.
Three scenarios for Friday's nonfarm payrolls:
Employment exceeds 65,000, rate hike is basically certain, BTC under pressure; employment around 50,000, the market remains conflicted, focus shifts to next week's CPI; employment close to zero or negative, rate hike expectations cool down, BTC gets a breather. But only if employment shows a "real and significant deterioration" could it possibly stop a rate hike.
For the crypto market, the biggest fear is not the rate hike itself, but uncertainty. Big money dares not take heavy positions before the boot drops. Before Friday, BTC will most likely continue to fluctuate between 77,000 and 79,500. Wait for the data to come out.
Personal opinion, does not constitute any investment advice. Wow, I don't know if everyone has noticed. Gold and BTC are teaming up to fight against fiat currency depreciation, while ETH is more like a tech growth stock waiting to explode.
Lately, watching the market, the movements of gold and BTC are simply "miraculously synchronized," both breaking through key levels.
It's such a coincidence, like a typical "currency depreciation trade," where people notice the US dollar's credit is shaking, so they simultaneously buy these two "hard assets" to hedge risks.
The data shows it clearly: in the past 5 trading days, gold ETFs and Bitcoin ETFs have collectively attracted $7 billion, flowing in parallel rather than competing for funds.
This indicates institutional money is treating BTC and gold as the same asset class allocation, rather than viewing BTC as a high-risk tech stock like before.
ETH's situation is completely different. Although it’s also rising, the logic leans more toward "technology applications."
On August 30, Ethereum ETFs had a single-day net inflow of $226 million, a 10-month high, but this is more about optimism for its on-chain ecosystem and the potential of AI, DeFi, and other applications.
My own strategy is: treat gold and BTC as "ballast stones," allocating portions of my portfolio to hedge macro risks.
ETH, on the other hand, is an "offensive asset," using a small position to bet on ecosystem breakout gains.
Stop mixing them up. The current market has already divided them into "safe-haven" and "growth" tracks.
The allocation logic is completely different. Understanding this is the key to holding onto profits. #BTC高位震荡，与黄金联动增强 September has just started, and the real determinant of this round of market movement is no longer simply looking at the K-line, but the chain of employment data → Federal Reserve → US Treasury yields → risk asset valuations. Currently, $BTC still holds near $78,000, with an approximate 24% increase for the entire month of August, but the resistance between $79,400 and $80,800 has been continuously forming. The market's pricing for a September rate hike has clearly heated up after the hawkish tone at Jackson Hole. This week, JOLTS, ADP, and Friday's non-farm payrolls will become the next directional selectors. Strong employment means US Treasury yields may continue to rise, which is an uncomfortable environment for $BTC, $ETH, and gold; conversely, if employment cools significantly and rate hike expectations fall, the area around $77,000 could once again become a zone for capital accumulation. There is an easy-to-misjudge point here: the recent simultaneous strength of $BTC and gold does not mean they will always move in sync. Gold is more sensitive to real interest rates and safe-haven demand, while $BTC is driven by ETFs, liquidity, and risk appetite. Gold is currently oscillating near $4,400; if yields continue to rise, both may face pressure; but if employment weakens, gold and $BTC could instead resonate again. On the chart, I am now more focused on several levels: for $BTC, first watch $77,200; if it breaks below, the area near $76,000 will become a contested zone again; only by reclaiming $79,400–$80,800 can we talk about $82,000 again. $ETH is currently around $2,440, with a short-term focus on whether $2,400–$2,430 can hold.

#BTC高位震荡，与黄金联动增强
#财报观察员：博通与戴尔接棒，AI回报再受检验 $ETH is strongly bullish on a very large scale. If it doesn't give you a chance to pull back to 2200–2188 in September, that would really be a pity.
$ETH's first phase target in the bull market is $3800, which depends on whether it will pull back to 2200 before rising again or just go straight up. #BTC高位震荡，与黄金联动增强 ETH is currently priced at 2473, and in Asian trading it fell back to around 2440, with the largest drawdown close to 1% during the day. Looking at the cyclical gains, the 30-day increase was 31.8%, but the 7-day increase was only 1.9%. The monthly bullish trend remains, but the weekly upward momentum has clearly exhausted. Looking back at the previous rally, August 19-21 was the main rally for three consecutive days, followed by a sharp consolidation on reduced volume over the next eight trading days. ETF trading volume shrank continuously from 107 million shares to 30.9 million shares, with volume nearly halved and halved again and again. On the capital side, ETH spot ETFs have maintained inflows for 11 consecutive days, with a single-day net inflow of up to $87.7 million, and a cumulative net inflow of about $1.75 billion in August—the strongest level since October last year. The underlying support for medium-term bulls remains. However, negative factors are suppressing the market on the macro side, with the probability of a rate hike in September rising to 64%. Tightening expectations continue to heat up, becoming the biggest headwind at present. The market is currently dominated by bullish and bearish ETF inflows, while rate hike expectations combined with shrinking volume and stagnation at high levels are bearish. There will be no one-sided trend today; we need to wait for prices to reach the boundary of the range. Combining the 4-hour Bollinger Bands indicator: middle band at 2454, upper band 2497, lower band 2412, overall range 2320–2566. The current price at 2475 is slightly above the middle of the range, which is the worst position to open a position. There is no advantage for both long and short positions. Trading Strategy 25$UNITREE Yushù Technology has dropped from over 400 billion at release to today's 230 billion
Many people may now be considering whether it will continue to decline, and whether 230 billion is too high?
Because the answer is actually very clear:
Based on current financial data, 230 billion is very expensive. The highest valuation given by the current evaluation agency Nomura is only 150 billion!
What should really be studied is:
"What can keep the 230 billion valuation sustained?"
I believe there are currently 5 core supports:
① Expectations of a humanoid robot industry boom
② Yushù's advantages in motion control and body technology
③ Existing real revenue and profitability
④ Long-term imagination space of AI + robots + data closed loop
⑤ Scarcity of leading robot companies in the A-share market
But at the same time, there are 4 major valuation killers:
① No explosion in robot sales
② Revenue growth significantly below market expectations
③ Lack of major customers/large-scale commercial applications
④ Competitors' technology and sales rapidly catching up
Currently, the market has already fallen from 444.9 billion on the first day of listing to 230.9 billion, evaporating over 200 billion in a week, indicating that the market has actually begun to actively reprice these risks. According to TradingBeats monitoring, the trader "CBB" associated sub-account has cumulatively purchased 125,492.4 HYPE spot tokens since 00:45 today, with a transaction amount of approximately 10.5506 million USD and a weighted average price of 84.073 USD. However, while buying the spot tokens, the account also added a short position of 125,458.02 HYPE perpetual contracts in 10x cross margin mode, with a position size of about 10.5524 million USD and an average entry price of 84.111 USD. The quantities and amounts of the two legs almost completely correspond, forming an almost 1:1 spot-futures hedge.

I went back and checked the information behind tonight’s move. At first glance, it looks like a risk-off rotation, with Bitcoin breaking higher as the market treats it like “digital gold.”💎
But there’s one problem with that narrative:
Gold didn’t see the same kind of capital flow.💵
So I’m not convinced this pump is sim because of the so-calledTo get straight to the point: US military airstrikes on Iran, oil prices soaring, US stocks plummeting, yet $BTC actually rose. This is not a coincidence; it marks the turning point where BTC shifts from a risk asset to a safe-haven asset.
Last Friday, the US military launched airstrikes on Iran, oil prices jumped, and S&P futures turned green. Normally, risk assets should fall along with this. But what about BTC? It pulled back from 77,000 to 78,500, up 1.5%. ETH rose even more, and SOL is also climbing. The total crypto market cap reached 2.73 trillion, up 1.7% in one day.
Did you notice another signal? At the Jackson Hole symposium, hawkish comments pushed the September rate hike probability from 35% to 55.5%. Normally, a higher rate hike probability would cause BTC to fall. But BTC held steady at 78,000. The fact that bearish rate hike expectations couldn’t push it down means what? It means the buying pressure underneath is much stronger than you think.
Those who bottomed out at 77,000 on the day of the airstrike are already counting their money today. Those still waiting for 75,000 might not get that chance. The market never gives you a comfortable entry point; it always rises when you hesitate and crashes when you chase highs.
At the 78,000 level, building a position in batches makes perfect sense. Half a position allows you to attack or defend, and keep the remaining ammo for the mid-September pullback. Don’t believe me? Just wait. If BTC is still below 78,000 by the end of September, come to the comments and curse me.
#BTC #IranAirstrike #SafeHaven #RateHike After waiting for more than a year for the X Layer ecosystem incentives, the first round of rewards delivered was only 120,000 U, which starkly contrasts with the initially promised 5 million U prize pool and the grand RWA narrative. The motivation for new funds to enter is weak, while old funds remain inactive. The community has started taking screenshots to preserve data, preparing for a 1:1 migration to other chains. This "all bark and no bite" implementation approach has shaken even the originally steadfast internal supporters. I still hold XDOG, and seeing other communities gradually withdraw, the most agonizing dilemma is whether to leave or stay: leaving means over a year of construction and pool maintenance goes to waste, while staying might mean holding onto a chain losing users, waiting for an uncertain spring. Objectively, OKX has users, funds, and mature products, yet only offers Meme rewards at the 100,000 U level. Compared to Binance nurturing BSC and Coinbase supporting Base, this indeed seems insincere. Now the community votes with their feet, and the project team’s choice to migrate is a survival instinct, which is understandable. But where XDOG ultimately goes—whether to stay or seek another path—remains unclear and requires observing official follow-up actions. If there is no positive response soon, I will seriously consider exchanging XDOG and some OKB for a more active ecosystem. Risk warning: On-chain ecosystem rewards and migration plans are uncertain; please make independent judgments and manage position risks. $XDOG $OKB
