$ARB Market and Fundamental In-Depth Analysis
$ARB has surged over 50% in the past week, with a single-day increase of 9.5% breaking through $0.146, rebounding strongly from the low range of $0.07. The core driver of this rally comes from the real protocol revenue landing brought by Robinhood Chain, completely dispelling previous market doubts about it being "pure narrative speculation."
Core Fundamentals: Real Cash Flowing into the Treasury
Robinhood Chain, launched in July as the Arbitrum Orbit architecture Layer2, saw explosive on-chain revenue after launch, with daily fee peaks reaching $1.9 million, far exceeding the usual $100,000 level. According to protocol rules, 10% of net income is returned to the Arbitrum ecosystem, and 8% is directly allocated to the DAO treasury. In just two months since launch, it has allocated $1.3 million to the ARB ecosystem.
Arbitrum DAO's total revenue in the first half of 2026 reached $6.19 million, with a gross margin as high as 97%, almost no additional fixed operating costs, and revenue quality far exceeding most public chain projects. $HYPE If there were a sharp drop in September, I wouldn't be surprised, but I'd care more about how high it would fall. Have you noticed that the market's biggest fear right now isn't a drop, but not knowing where it starts? When watching the market, I usually look for the most vulnerable point first. Right now, in this rally, money is actually very picky. After BTC hits high, everyone is guessing ETH will catch up, but the momentum of ETH's rebound always feels a bit off. Established privacy coins like ZEC have suddenly been flipped by funds, newcomers like HYPE are still trading at high levels, and offenders each go their own way, like fireflies flickering in the rainy season—there are many highlights, but no one dares to say which one will last long. My own position management logic is simple: instead of chasing the gains, it's better to draw support levels and wait for the price to come to me. If September really experiences a spike-like flash crash, the positions I'm watching would roughly be: - BTC first looks at $74,000, which is broken, so the bullish narrative needs to be retold - ETH's $2,350 is the last stubborn moment; a drop below means funds are really pulling out - SOL at $95 and HYPE at $73, one looking at the old mainstream, the other the courage of new players - ZEC's $750 is actually the most reassuring for me, because this rally has its own independent story. I tend to believe these levels can be held. The reason is simple: the market structure now is different from 2022. Intra-exchange leverage is not as crazy, and although derivatives positions are high,Nonfarm payrolls in August at 162,000 far exceed expectations, rate hike bets heat up
Nonfarm payrolls directly shook the market
162,000, while expectations were only fifty to sixty thousand
Unemployment rate still stuck at 4.1%
Swaps suddenly pushed the probability of a September rate hike above 60%
Waller just said earlier that if inflation is soft, they would hold steady
With this employment data out, the hawks have ammunition again
Next week's CPI is the main event
FOMC is on the 15th to 16th
Almost no buffer in between
BTC softened nearly 2 points along with it
Risk assets are giving way to interest rates first
So my judgment is
Employment has settled, don't rush to bet on a one-sided rate hike
First see if inflation on the 11th will continue to rise
If it deviates upward, then talk about the depth of the market drop
$BTC #BTC兑黄金比率升至1月以来高位，强势能否延续？ #美联储官员称应加息，9月概率升至58.6% BTC institutional funds suddenly "returned"! ETF single-day inflow surged $730 million After a period of silence, institutions have finally started making big purchases of BTC again. On September 3, the total net inflow of US spot Bitcoin ETFs was: $731 million, marking the largest single-day net inflow since January 14 this year. What’s even more notable is the concentration of funds: 🔥 BlackRock IBIT: about $454 million 🔥 ARKB: about $138 million 🔥 Fidelity FBTC: about $74.45 million IBIT alone absorbed about 62% of the entire market’s funds. What does this indicate? Previously, the market was worried about institutional fund withdrawals, but now we see: BTC falls → ETF outflows BTC climbs back above $80,000 → institutions start aggressively accumulating And this time, the scale of funds is not "small change." More importantly, the inflow occurred after Federal Reserve officials released dovish signals, easing market concerns about a September rate hike and simultaneously boosting risk asset sentiment. However, don’t rush to call the bull market back just yet. $731 million is a strong signal but not a confirmation of a trend. What really needs to be observed in the coming days is: Can ETFs continue to maintain net inflows above $500 million? If yes— Then this might not be a short-term bottom-fishing but a reactivation of institutional BTC allocation. If the next trading day sees a sharp outflow... Then be cautious; this might just be an emotional recovery plus short covering.Reading DOGE as the VIX of the crypto market is much more useful than focusing on its fundamentals. Experts have pierced this veil: DOGE has no burn mechanism, no ETF inflows, and no protocol upgrades; its price reflects not project progress but the overall market risk appetite.
When it rises, it means retail investors are back. With low holding thresholds, wide community spread, and sufficient trading depth, DOGE always senses incremental capital ahead of the broader market—if retail is willing to pay for an asset with no cash flow, they are willing to pay for the entire market. When it falls, it means funds are fleeing. When risk appetite contracts, traders cut the positions furthest from fundamentals first, and DOGE just happens to stand on that line.
The movements of $BTC and $ETH are wrapped in layers of institutional capital flows, macro interest rates, and regulatory expectations, making their signals ambiguous; $DOGE, on the other hand, is clean—it does not pretend to have fundamentals, so every fluctuation tells the truth. Technical patterns here become a gauge of sentiment: triangle breakouts signal rising speculative demand; breakdowns indicate the spread of risk aversion.
Putting DOGE on the watchlist is not for trading it, but to calibrate market judgment. Its direction is the direction of risk appetite.NFP dropped a bomb on crypto… while Wall Street basically popped the champagne. 😂📈
Brothers, this divergence is getting hard to ignore.
August payrolls came in way hotter than expected, and crypto immediately felt the pain.
$BTC and $ETH got slammed almost as soon as the data hit.
Then I looked at US stocks and thought:
“Wait… why are they running higher?”
That’s the part that really caught my attention.
Maybe the market isn’t simply saying “strong NFP = everything dumps.”
#DailyOrbit $SOL 101.73, back near 100 again.
A friend asked me if they should buy SOL now. I said, you didn’t sell at 104, and now you’re asking if you should buy? At 104.76, you thought it could still rise, but when it dropped to 101, you started hesitating whether to exit. It’s always the same script—when it falls, you think it will go lower; when it bounces, you fear missing out; and when the price returns to your view, you start to struggle again. At this point, those who didn’t sell at 104 must be feeling the worst.
Offchain Labs CEO said Robinhood chose Arbitrum to build L2, which has nothing to do with Solana, and can even be considered an indirect “competitor benefit,” so it’s not positive news for SOL. Solana’s application revenue in August was $143 million, fundamentals are indeed improving, but 80% of the CHUMP token supply is concentrated in one entity, and the health of the Meme ecosystem is indeed questionable—how long can the narrative supported by Meme coins last?
SAR is pressing at 104.4, EMA21 just broke below at 102.16, EMA55 is holding at 101.11. J value is 16.42, RSI 42, momentum is weak but not extreme. If it doesn’t break through 104 with volume, a pullback to 100 is very likely. Chasing at this level has a low success rate; better to wait for the pullback.
Are you buying now or waiting? 🫡$ZEC ZEC 1024 has finally broken the thousand mark. From 944 to 1052, it pushed nearly $110. The volatility after the ETF listing is much greater than Grayscale's expectations—ZCSH has been listed for two weeks, and ZEC surged from 888 to 1052, with a pullback to 812 in between, then bounced back above 1000. Those chasing the highs are starting to hesitate, and holders are considering whether to take some profits around 1050.
Bold was hacked and lost all funds, with ZachXBT tracking some of the funds—this news is not directly related to Zcash itself, but during a sensitive sentiment period, any security issue gets amplified in interpretation. The market seems to have chosen to ignore it—the privacy sector narrative is strong enough to temporarily overlook the impact of the Bold incident and continue driving ZEC upward. The long-term logic of the privacy sector remains unchanged, but the Bold incident shows that security risks still exist in this ecosystem and reminds the market that the security risks in the Zcash ecosystem cannot be ignored.
SAR is at 900, EMA21=939, all below the price, indicating a strong trend. But K value is 81, J value 77, RSI 72, showing high-level stagnation but no death cross yet. There have been 5 volume surges on the rise and 4 volume contractions on pullbacks, indicating that the main force is still present, but the short-term risk of chasing highs is indeed accumulating.
At the 1052 level, it surged once and then dropped. Do you think this wave can hold above 1000? 🫡Interest rate hike probability soars, why non-farm payrolls struggle to reverse the main trend in the crypto market
Federal Reserve officials have signaled a hawkish stance, with the probability of a rate hike in September rising to 58.6%. Many investors are starting to worry that the non-farm payroll data will trigger a major bearish market, but historical market reactions suggest the impact might not be as severe as imagined.
Previously, when Waller expressed views supporting maintaining the current interest rate, the market responded enthusiastically. ETH quickly surged from 2410 to 2520, later reaching a high of 2548. BTC also saw a strong rebound, breaking upward from 78000 to 81500, and the next day hitting a high of 82200, resulting in a significant upward move.
On the day the non-farm payrolls were released, the market briefly plunged, with $BTC dropping from 81300 to 78600. However, the decline did not persist; prices quickly recovered, returning to around 79500. After a rapid spike down, the market swiftly repaired itself without a sustained trend reversal.
This shows that short-term data mainly causes sharp intraday volatility, mostly affecting short-term sentiment, and is unlikely to directly change the overall market direction. Even if the non-farm data falls short of expectations, it will most likely cause short-term pulse-like fluctuations rather than a complete trend reversal.
After the news settles, the market will return to its original capital and technical structure. Traders should not overreact to the power of a single data point or be misled by short-term volatility. The key is to observe whether the market can hold critical support levels, which is a more pragmatic approach.
$BTC $ETH $ZEC
#美联储官员称应加息，9月概率升至58.6% After the non-farm payroll data was released, the entire network went crazy discussing interest rate hikes, and many retail investors were directly scared by the data, with bearish sentiment instantly maxed out.
But beyond the surface data, what truly determines the Federal Reserve's direction in September has never been just employment and inflation. $BTC $ETH
This time, the non-farm data is indeed strong, with employment figures clearly exceeding expectations, and market concerns about a September rate hike quickly heating up, putting pressure on BTC and ETH as well.
The problem is, the Federal Reserve has never faced a single-choice question.
On one side, employment data gives hawks a reason; on the other side, there is ongoing pressure from the US economy, financial markets, and the White House for rate cuts. Trump has publicly called multiple times for the Fed to cut rates, and if a forced rate hike happens in September, the financial market's reaction and subsequent political pressure could further amplify.
At the same time, the dovish signals previously released by Waller also indicate that there is not complete consensus within the Fed on the policy path.
The most critical factor now is not this non-farm report, but the upcoming CPI and PPI.
If inflation continues to heat up and rate hike expectations strengthen, BTC and ETH will certainly face short-term pressure; but if inflation cools down later and the market re-trades "no rate hike in September + future easing," then today's panic might instead become an opportunity for funds to re-enter.
Wall Street never needs a perfect logic, only an expectation that can drive the market to reprice. #美联储官员称应加息，9月概率升至58.6% #Last Night Quick Review: The Three Giants Join Forces to Rescue the Market, BTC Breaks Through 82,000
Last night the global market surged sharply, and the core reason is simple — policy eased, geopolitical situation stabilized, and capital returned. Five quick reviews, straight to the point.
Quick Review 1: Waller Turns Dove, The Real Nuclear Button
Previously the most hawkish Fed governor Waller said last night, "If inflation continues to improve, I support keeping rates unchanged in September." The probability of a rate hike in September plummeted from 63% to 48.4%, dropping 15 percentage points in one day. The sudden policy easing is the root cause of the surge.
Quick Review 2: Trump Verbally Calms Oil Prices
Trump said the military action against Iran "won't last long," and the US has removed all Iranian equipment along the Strait of Hormuz. Oil price gains slowed, geopolitical premium was wiped out by a single statement, and risk appetite instantly returned.
Quick Review 3: BTC Breaks Through 82,000, Concept Stocks Rally Together
Bitcoin surged this morning breaking through $82,000, up over 5% in 24 hours. MSTR rose 17.56%, CRCL up 16.44%, COIN up 10.14%. The Nasdaq led with a 1.4% gain, Tesla rose over 5%, and capital fully replenished.
Quick Review 5: September 11 CPI Is the Real Test
Waller said data decides the vote. Good CPI → no rate hike → continue to surge; bad CPI → hawkish turn → pullback. Only one week left until CPI, hold your hands, don’t bet on direction.
Summary: Waller controls rate hikes, Bessent controls US debt, Trump controls oil prices — the three giants joined forces to rescue the market once. September 11 is the real ultimate test Don't be scared by the non-farm payrolls! Data fluctuations can't change the overall market trend.
Federal Reserve officials have signaled a rate hike, with the probability of a September hike rising to 58.6%. Many investors have started to panic over the negative non-farm payroll news, but looking at historical market performance, a single data shock may not be able to reverse the overall market direction.
Previously, when Waller stated that rates would remain unchanged, the market responded strongly. ETH quickly rose from 2410 to 2520, later reaching a high of 2548; BTC simultaneously surged from 78000 to 81500, with the next day's high touching 82200.
In contrast, during the non-farm payroll release, the market briefly plunged sharply. $BTC dropped from 81300 to 78600, but the bearish momentum did not persist, and the price quickly recovered, stabilizing around 79500.
From this, it is clear that non-farm payrolls mainly cause short-term pulse-like volatility, often creating spike movements, and it is difficult to directly rewrite the medium- to long-term market trend. After the news is released, funds will still return to their original rhythm.
Many in the market overemphasize the impact of a single economic data point and are easily misled by short-term fluctuations. Rather than obsessing over the quality of a single data release, more focus should be placed on how the market absorbs the news afterward.
News is just a catalyst; the real determinant of the big picture is the genuine attitude of the funds in the market. Facing the upcoming rate decision, be wary of sharp short-term volatility and do not let short-term price swings disrupt your judgment.
$BTC $ETH $ZEC
#美联储官员称应加息，9月概率升至58.6% Ancient developer Luke Dashjr says the Bitcoin you bought might be fake?
This farce continues; he himself created a hard fork, directly changed the mining algorithm, and made a brand new BLAKE2b chain.
Then shifted the hash power over, but
most miners didn't follow
hash power was pitifully low
mainstream exchanges didn't recognize it
almost no real liquidity
only small platforms symbolically listed trading pairs
The essence of blockchain has never been the code dogma of a few tech gurus,
but the consensus formed through liquidity and real competition.
Code is not consensus.
These tech coders and investors live in two different worlds,
you can write a prettier set of code, or even change BTC beyond recognition.
You can even declare yourself: this is the real Bitcoin, but it’s useless.
Because Bitcoin has no CEO, nor an official referee to tell the world which chain is the real BTC.
What truly decides whether a chain survives is: miners’ hash power + exchange support + user recognition + capital liquidity.
When a large-scale chain split really happens, which chain exchanges label as BTC is itself a huge power struggleBrothers, considering the current market and news, I still lean towards a weak consolidation from this morning's open to noon, neither chasing the rise nor the fall.
$BTC is now around 79,580, after quickly dropping from 81,378 to 78,610 last night and then stabilizing. The 15-minute moving averages have converged, indicating the selling pressure has temporarily eased. The non-farm payrolls were clearly stronger than expected, and the Fed policy expectations for September have turned more hawkish, which suppresses risk assets; however, there has been a large net inflow into BTC ETFs, showing institutional funds have not clearly withdrawn, so bulls and bears are currently pulling against each other.
Key levels to watch this morning are 79,200–80,000; holding above 80,000 is needed for further recovery; breaking below 79,200 may test 78,600 again.
$ETH is currently near 2453, with 2430 as key support and 2470–2480 as resistance. If it can't hold above 2480, only a rebound repair can be expected for now.
Therefore, from this morning until noon, the probability is still for a choppy range. The real direction depends on whether BTC breaks through 80,000 or falls below 78,600, and for ETH, watch 2480 and 2428. Avoid being too aggressive in the middle range.

The just-released August nonfarm payrolls added 162,000 jobs, far exceeding market expectations, directly shaking up market pricing: 📊 CME interest rate futures data show the probability of a September rate hike rising from about 50% to 58.6%. 🏦 Citibank even directly revised its forecast: pushing the first rate cut from October 2026 to June 2027, signaling a prolonged easing cycle. But on the other hand, different voices emerge: Allianz investment analyst Charlie Ripley points out that August wage growth year-over-year slowed to 3.09%, hitting a stage low, with real wage growth turning negative, indicating the economy is showing signs of cooling; Trump publicly urges the Fed to cut rates quickly. On one side, employment is hot and officials are hawkish; on the other, wages weaken and politicians call for easing. Conflicting signals make it impossible to be certain about September's direction. All suspense will be resolved with the release of August CPI data on September 11! Bloomberg economists predict: overall CPI year-over-year may rise back to 3.4%, core CPI slightly falling to 2.4%. 👉 If inflation rebounds again: the scale will tip decisively toward rate hikes, pressuring US stocks and cryptocurrencies; 👉 If inflation cools significantly: the possibility of pausing rate hikes greatly increases, giving risk assets a breather. The US August nonfarm payrolls brought a reversal to the market this time.
New jobs added were 162,000, far exceeding the market expectation of about 56,000, with the unemployment rate holding steady at 4.1%. After the data release, BTC quickly fell from around $81,300 to $78,600, then fluctuated around $79,500–$80,000. Market expectations for a September rate hike also heated up again.
This is actually very typical.
In past market cycles, whenever nonfarm payrolls significantly exceeded expectations, the market often immediately priced in "higher and longer" interest rates, putting pressure on risk assets, and BTC tended to fall along with them.
But the real key this time is not just the nonfarm payrolls candle.
It's the FOMC on September 15–16.
Because employment is only one variable the Fed uses to assess the economy; inflation data is still to come.
If employment is strong and inflation does not come down, the Fed has even more reason to maintain or raise rates.
If employment is strong but inflation continues to cool, the script might reverse again.
So looking at BTC now, there’s no need to rush to judge whether 80,000 is the top.
The real turning point may have to wait until the Fed writes the answer on September 16.
The most troublesome times for the market are often when data comes one after another but the direction is not yet truly determined.
$BTC $ETH #8月非农16.2万远超预期，加息押注升温 The impact of the US August non-farm payroll data on the crypto market last night is mainly: the data was too strong, which turned into a short-term negative.
Non-farm payrolls increased by 162,000, far exceeding market expectations of about 53,000–56,000; July was also significantly revised up from -23,000 to +21,000.
The unemployment rate remained unchanged at 4.1%, indicating no obvious deterioration in the job market; average hourly earnings rose 3.1% year-on-year. Although wage growth slowed, employment itself was clearly stronger than expected.
As a result, the market re-priced the Fed's September rate hike, with the probability rising to about 58%–62% at one point. US Treasury yields rose, with the 10-year around 4.80% and the 2-year around 4.40%.
$BTC came under direct pressure: after the data release, it quickly fell from around $81,000, briefly dropping below $80,000, then fluctuated around $79,500.
Currently, there is a chance of a short-term negative correction over the weekend. $ETH and $SOL are currently in line with this expectation.
$ZEC remains strongly bullish, with some momentum coming from funds flowing out of BTC during its correction.

#BTC兑黄金比率升至1月以来高位，强势能否延续？ ZEN (Horizen 2.0) Mainnet Transformation Core Value Highlights
⚠️ Risk Warning: Objective interpretation based on public information, not investment advice. Mainnet migration completed on 2025-07-23, transforming from an independent L1 privacy public chain to an L3 privacy application chain on Base, with ZEN becoming an ERC-20 token.
✅ Five Core Value Highlights of the Transformation
1️⃣ Architecture Upgrade: Abandon independent L1, built on Ethereum + Base secure foundation
- Old version: Independent PoW L1 public chain, requiring self-maintenance of network hash power security, with high difficulty for development and user cold start.
- After transformation: As an L3 application chain on Base, inherits Ethereum’s underlying security, shares Base’s high TPS and extremely low fees, with transaction costs often below 0.01U, greatly improving user experience.
- Native EVM compatibility allows developers to build privacy DApps directly with Solidity without mastering complex cryptography, significantly lowering development barriers.
2️⃣ Privacy Technology Iteration: From pure anonymity to authorized audit-compliant privacy
Old ZEN focused on fully shielded private transfers, posing high regulatory risks.
Horizen 2.0 introduces HCCE confidential computing environment, dual engines of ZK-SNARK zero-knowledge proofs + TEE trusted execution environment:
- Encryption protection for transaction and contract data;
- Supports selective disclosure for authorized audits, enabling institutions and regulators to obtain compliance proofs, moving away from pure anonymity, expanding commercial scenarios like DeFi, AI privacy computing, and on-chain reputation.
- Benchmark application Obscura privacy reputation layer launched, targeting real business trials in trading and copy-trading sectors.
Note: Still not natively quantum-resistant; post-quantum cryptography upgrade R&D planned but not yet live on mainnet.
3️⃣ Tokenomics: Total supply remains fixed at 21 million, token utility reshaped
- Cap remains 21 million, 1:1 migration, no inflation, early PoW mining completely ended.
- ZEN’s role changes: no longer on-chain gas fuel, now governance + privacy service payment + staking rights token.
- Staking mechanism relaunched; holders stake to gain governance and ecosystem benefits; ecosystem service fees will repurchase ZEN, creating token capture channels; Thrive developer incentive fund established to support privacy application deployment.
4️⃣ Access to Base’s vast ecosystem traffic, solving old L1’s biggest shortcomings
Old independent chain’s biggest pain points: few users, poor DEX liquidity, lack of developers.
After migrating to Base:
- Direct integration with top Base DEXs like Uniswap and Aerodrome, greatly enhancing liquidity and composability;
- Sharing Base’s massive user and institutional resources, network activity significantly increased compared to pre-migration;
- Privacy capabilities can provide privacy tools for all DeFi and GameFi projects on Base, opening up sector opportunities.
5️⃣ Strategic risk mitigation, reducing privacy coin regulatory risks
Traditional purely anonymous privacy coins often face exchange delisting and regulatory crackdowns.
Transformation to modular optional privacy tools makes privacy an application-layer feature, not mandatory full-chain anonymity, adapting to travel rules and other compliance frameworks, improving the project’s regulatory survival environment and expanding institutional client possibilities.#美联储官员称应加息，9月概率升至58.6%
When you worry about the nonfarm payrolls being bearish, I actually think this news is no big deal. On September 4th, when Waller said to keep the interest rate unchanged, $ETH rose from 2410 to 2520, and the next morning even reached 2548.
$BTC rose from 78000 to 81500, and the next morning even reached 82200.
Compared to the nonfarm payrolls dropping from 81300 to 78600 but quickly recovering to the current price of 79500, do you think this nonfarm payrolls can affect the overall trend?!
#OKX预言家：9月FOMC利率决议预测上线 Will the Federal Reserve really dare to raise interest rates in September?
After the release of the non-farm payroll data, the entire internet has been actively discussing the possibility of a rate hike in September. Many people, influenced by the data performance, quickly turned bearish. But beyond the surface inflation and employment figures, the Fed's decision has never been simply determined by these two sets of numbers alone.
With the election window right ahead, there are multiple practical policy considerations. If a rate hike is rashly implemented in September, it will trigger a series of chain reactions. Even though the Fed has consistently emphasized policy independence, the reality involves multiple trade-offs, and the costs of raising rates must be taken into account.
Waller recently expressed dovish views, still citing inflation as an important reference. Objectively, current inflation remains some distance from the target, compounded by ongoing geopolitical conflicts pushing oil prices higher, so inflationary pressure has not been fully alleviated.
However, capital markets often do not seek perfect logic; Wall Street only needs a narrative to speculate on. As long as the market is willing to digest dovish signals, there is room for the market to play out.
Even if subsequent CPI data rebounds again, the market still has some buffer space. Easing geopolitical tensions leading to falling oil prices can also provide the Fed with a stepping stone to pause rate hikes. Often, data is a tool the market uses to build momentum; the final decision is the result of multi-party bargaining.
Overall, the actual probability of a direct rate hike in September is not as high as short-term market sentiment suggests.
Focusing solely on one non-farm payroll report to chase gains or cut losses misses the underlying game logic behind the data, which is key to grasping the true market mainline. $DOT 🚀 DOT (Polkadot) — Market Watch
DOT is still one of the projects worth watching as the crypto market looks for its next major move.
📊 What I’m watching: • Key support holding strongly
• Increasing trading activity
• Potential breakout if buyers regain momentum
• Ecosystem development remains an important long-term catalyst
💡 My view: DOT could become interesting if it breaks above key resistance with strong volume. Until then, patience and risk management are important.
🔥 Just one word: classic
You said you "predicted the direction early" and told everyone to short at 82000
But when the non-farm payroll data came out, $BTC directly smashed through 80,000 from 81,600
$ETH will fluctuate around 2500
Breaking through 2500 is too hard, falling below 2350 is also too hard
This time you really guessed right
But then you stumbled on $ZEC
The short position opened at 908 was directly liquidated
You bragged so much earlier about "everyone can see the win rate"
But a single altcoin knocked you back to reality
And finally you say "block altcoins, only trade $BTC/$ETH"
Isn't this the standard "expert" rhetoric?
Guess right once and brag, lose and say "I figured it out"
Now about this non-farm data
162,000 vs expected 56,000
Directly three times the expectation, July data even pulled back from negative to positive
$XAU instantly dropped 70 dollars
$BTC lost 80,000
Long positions were liquidated on the spot
This is not "the bull is coming," this is "the scythe is coming," okay.
$ZEC, which doubled in a month
If you short it and don't get liquidated, who else would?
Before CPI comes out, don't rush to chase any rebound
It might just be a bull trap
The job market is so strong, don't go against the FedThis time, the nonfarm payrolls directly pushed BTC down from 81,000 to 79,000.
The US added 162,000 jobs in August, while the market originally expected only about 56,000, and the unemployment rate remains at 4.1%.
As soon as the data came out, the market immediately started to re-bet on rate hikes, and BTC quickly dropped from around $81,300 to $78,600.
This is the most realistic impact of nonfarm payrolls on the crypto market.
If employment is too weak, the market worries about a recession.
If employment is too strong, it worries that the Fed won’t cut rates.
There’s always a reason for you.
So don’t take today’s pullback candlestick too seriously.
The real big test is on September 15–16.
Especially the rate decision on September 16.
At that time, the market actually only needs to solve one question:
Will such strong employment really prevent the Fed from easing?
If inflation continues to stick, BTC may continue to face rate pressure.
But if inflation cooperates, the market might trade again on the script of "the economy isn’t bad, and rates can still ease."
So it’s still too early to conclude whether 80,000 can be firmly held again.
Nonfarm payrolls are just the trailer.
The FOMC is the main feature.

#美联储官员称应加息，9月概率升至58.6% This is a full version of a detailed community analysis optimistic about BASED, with the core viewpoints:
1. Core argument: In the crypto space, trading revolves around storytelling narratives, not solely on actual trading volume.
The author says many people use traditional thinking, judging BASED by the actual trading volume shown in wallet software, and seeing a low market cap, conclude the coin is dead. This view is too superficial.
Small coin speculation in crypto often doesn't require perfect fundamentals; just hot narratives and liquidity flow can drive 20-50x gains.
2. The core value narrative of BASED
- It is the native token of the Hyperliquid (HL, on-chain contract exchange) ecosystem, tied to HL's entire order and contract trading system; other wallet tokens like TWT belong to Binance and are not native to HL.
- Total circulation is 235 million tokens, about 100 million staked and locked, reducing the amount of tokens available for sale on the market. The author believes this will reduce selling pressure.
- The underlying product routing trading volume is $45 billion, supported by Hyperliquid as the background.
3. Hypothetical conditions for future price increase
If Hyperliquid has major positive developments: entering the US market, passing compliance, funds will not buy already large top wallets but will speculate on BASED, which is technically tied to HL and has a small market cap.
Key sentence: Projects with high trading volume do not necessarily see token price increases; token price rises depend on market stories and capital sentiment. On September 3rd, Core DAO completed an emergency hard fork, fixing the validator reward vulnerability and, according to public information, burned over 150 million CORE. It sounds positive, but the market's response was very calm: the demand for fixing the ≠ suddenly increased, and the price of burned tokens ≠ would inevitably rise. Looking at the price performance, CORE closed at about $0.0229 on September 3rd, still at a clear low compared to the end of August. In other words, the market is now more focused on not "how much has been burned," but how much real capital will be willing to keep buying in the future. More importantly, CORE's BTCFi narrative still needs real data to prove it. What the market lacks most now is not a story, but users, TVL, trading volume, and on-chain products that can continuously generate cash flow. In fact, the total TVL currently tracked by the BTCFi protocol is only about $7.7M, with the portion on the CORE chain almost negligible. Now let's look at the macro environment. In August, the US nonfarm payrolls added 162,000 new users, far exceeding the market expectation of about 65,000. BTC briefly hit around $82,000 but quickly pulled back. Meanwhile, the market is still reassessing the Fed's September policy path. So the real question now is not "Has CORE fixed the vulnerability?" Rather: After fixing, is there new demand? After burning, has selling pressure really decreased? Is BTCFi really a blockbuster product? If major players start reducing their holdings, the market...[Pharaoh's Market Watch]
Private messages have completely exploded, everyone is asking Pharaoh: Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Citibank, and 21 other traditional financial giants have gathered together to officially announce plans to jointly launch a US dollar stablecoin in the first half of 2027. Pharaoh looks at this lineup and thinks it's even more organized than Pharaoh's pyramid construction team. These 21 institutions collectively manage over $65 trillion in assets, and now they want to get a piece of the stablecoin pie.
However, despite the grand momentum, all the details are question marks. The alliance announcement revealed almost no specific information—no list of participating companies, no confirmed CEO, unclear which blockchain will be used, and no answer on where the reserve assets will be held. Looking at past cases, Société Générale previously made a high-profile entry into the stablecoin market, but after nearly a year of product launch, its circulation scale was only $12.6 million. In comparison, Tether's USDT single-coin circulation has reached $183.3 billion, and Circle's USDC has $73.8 billion. The compliance advantages held by Wall Street may not easily break through the liquidity moat established by crypto-native players.

#HammackBacksHike #BTCGoldRatioHigh #OKXOutcomeLeagueFOMC Everyone, the nonfarm payrolls have just been implemented, and the data has indeed exceeded expectations. The 162,000 new jobs have reignited the interest rate hike fever. CME rate futures show that the probability of a rate hike in September has jumped from around 50% to 58.6%, and Citi has pushed its expectations for the first rate cut straight to June 2027. Federal Reserve official Hammack directly stated that current policies are not restrictive, inflation remains too high, and action is needed. This judgment is completely contradicted by the market's previous "rate cut fantasy." But on the other hand, August wage growth dropped to an annual low of 3.09%, and real wage growth has turned negative. Trump is also publicly pressuring for rate cuts, making the situation quite tense. There is still CPI due on September 11; Bloomberg Economics expects overall CPI to rise to 3.4%, while core CPI falls to 2.4%. Now, what the market really wants to bet on is no longer a single data point, but rather which of the two forces—inflation and employment—can outperform the other before the September 15-16 policy meeting. To be honest, don't rush to pick sides at this point. The nonfarm payroll exceeding expectations has already pushed the probability of a rate hike, but the CPI is the real card that flips the scales to one side. At this stage, watch more and move less. Wait for the CPI to land, and don't get swept back and forth before the big data comes out. Wishing everyone smooth trading. --- Everyone, once the nonfarm payroll data comes out, the mood for rate hikes has completely changed. 162,000 new jobs far exceeded expectations. With this "cold water" poured on the market, the probability of a rate hike in September at CME has dropped from five to zero#日银加息预期升温，日元空头平仓风险上升 $BTC US Treasury yields surge to highest since January 2025: The market is voting with its feet—Is the rate cut dream shattered or is rate hike resumption underway?
US Treasury yields have surged again, with the 10-year Treasury yield climbing to its highest level since January 2025. This is not an ordinary fluctuation but a shift in the global capital market’s pricing anchor. US Treasury yields are the "gravitational force" behind the valuation of all global assets, and every move affects stocks, forex, commodities, and crypto assets. When this anchor starts moving upward, the market must recalibrate the price coordinates of all risk assets. This time, the rise in yields signals something far more complex than just a "cooling of rate cut expectations."
1. Why are yields surging? Three engines firing simultaneously
The rise in US Treasury yields is never driven by a single factor but by multiple forces resonating together. Currently, at least three engines are powering this.
First, inflation stickiness breaks the "rate cut illusion." Although core PCE is flat month-over-month, it remains above target year-over-year, with service inflation and housing costs not truly collapsing. The market is gradually realizing that the Fed’s previously signaled "easing bias" may have been overinterpreted. As rate cut expectations are repriced, short-term rates are no longer certain to fall quickly, naturally pushing the entire yield curve upward.
Second, the US Treasury’s debt issuance peak exacerbates supply-demand imbalance. After resolving the debt ceiling, the Treasury is aggressively issuing bonds, causing a surge in supply. Meanwhile, traditional big buyers—the Fed is shrinking its balance sheet, the Bank of Japan is raising rates, and some foreign official institutions are reducing holdings. This supply-demand mismatch pressures bond prices, causing yields to rise passively.
Third, economic data resilience pushes back recession narratives. Initial jobless claims remain low, and if nonfarm payrolls continue to beat expectations, the resilience in consumption and employment will reduce "recession trades." Funds are withdrawing from bonds and flowing into risk assets or money markets, pushing long-term yields higher.
2. The signal released: The market is questioning the Fed—will you cut rates or not?
The rise in US Treasury yields to this level essentially sends a question to the Fed: When will the promised rate cuts actually happen? If they don’t, why should rates come down?
When the 10-year Treasury yield hits a new phase high, it indicates a fundamental change in how the market prices the future rate path. Previously, the market widely expected the Fed to start a rate cut cycle, but the rising yields show that more funds believe rates will stay high longer, even considering the possibility of rate hikes resuming.
More dangerously, rising yields can self-reinforce. Mortgage rates, corporate financing costs, and credit card rates all rise, further suppressing real estate and corporate investment. But if the Fed cuts rates due to tightening financial conditions, it could reignite inflation. This dilemma is the deep reason behind the sustained rise in yields.
3. Impact on rate hikes: The door to rate hikes is not completely closed
Another core market concern is whether rising yields mean the Fed might restart rate hikes.
On the surface, Fed Chair Powell’s speech at the Jackson Hole symposium still maintains "policy flexibility." He repeatedly emphasized "meeting-by-meeting decisions," not ruling out any options. This ambiguity itself leaves room for rate hikes. The rise in Treasury yields is precisely pricing in this "room."
At a deeper level, if rising Treasury yields cause financial conditions to tighten rather than ease, the Fed faces a paradox: cutting rates would seem too dovish, while hiking could trigger a recession. In this case, the Fed’s most likely move is to do nothing—keep rates steady but verbally hawkish. This is what the market fears most: not explicit hikes, but the drain caused by prolonged high rates.
4. Transmission to various assets: Who are the victims, who is swimming naked?
Rising US Treasury yields are the biggest enemy of risk assets. For stocks, higher discount rates directly lower valuations, especially for high-valuation tech stocks and unprofitable companies. For commodities, a stronger dollar and higher financing costs create double pressure. For crypto assets, Bitcoin is highly sensitive to liquidity; rising Treasury yields mean a worsening liquidity environment, with repeated failures at the $80,000 level directly reflecting this pressure.
More importantly, assets "living on stories" are at risk. When risk-free yields rise high enough, speculative funds quickly exit high-risk assets, returning to Treasuries and money markets. The rise in yields essentially squeezes out all assets that generate no cash flow.
5. Market’s next steps: Watch nonfarm payrolls, but watch Treasury issuance plans even more
Whether Treasury yields continue rising depends on two key variables. One is labor market resilience: if nonfarm payrolls keep beating expectations, yields will gain new upward momentum. The other is the pace of US Treasury issuance: if issuance continues to expand, supply-demand imbalance will push yields even higher.
For investors, the most important thing now is not to predict direction but to manage duration and risk exposure. In a rising yield environment, cash and short-duration assets become more attractive, while long-duration and highly valued risk assets bear the brunt.
Is the yield pendulum tolling the death knell or a warning bell for high rates?
US Treasury yields reaching the highest since January 2025 is a collective market vote on inflation stickiness, fiscal expansion, and monetary policy ambiguity. The signal it sends is more real than any official speech: the market is preparing for "higher rates for longer" and even "rate hike resumption."
For the Fed, this is a severe test. The threshold for rate cuts is rising, the risks of hikes are accumulating, and the cost of maintaining high rates is becoming apparent. For investors, it is a sober reminder: when the global asset pricing anchor starts moving up, the first to collapse are always those high-valuation assets built on liquidity illusions. The US Treasury yield pendulum is ringing the warning bell for the next round of asset repricing.
#美联储官员称应加息，9月概率升至58.6% $ETH $ZEC #OKX预言家：9月FOMC利率决议预测上线 The story of PONS may be far more than just price increases. Recently, market attention has rapidly risen, with PONS once surpassing $0.52 and its market cap rising to about $360 million. More noteworthy is that Uniswap Labs has reportedly acquired PONS, positioning it as a long-term strategic synergy, though the specific transaction amount and structure have yet to be disclosed. What truly deserves attention is the business data behind PONS. The latest on-chain statistics show that Pons has already held a significant share in the Robinhood Chain ecosystem, with research estimating it accounts for about 60% of the issuance platform's trading volume. As of recently, Pons has accumulated DEX trading volume of about $720 million, with over $120 million in trading volume in the past 24 hours, and 24-hour fee revenue reaching about $5.95 million. This means PONS's value may not be just a "hyped token." Behind it is the issuance and trading of tokens on Robinhood Chain and the liquidity system of Uniswap. A large number of new tokens are issued and traded through Pons, and once conditions are met, they further enter Uniswap's liquidity pool, forming an increasingly obvious business chain between Pons and Robinhood Chain and Uniswap. On-chain data even shows that in the past one,This remote statement by Solana's co-founder seems like a hard promotion for Solana, but in fact it hits the most sensitive commercial pain point in the current Layer 2 ecosystem—the cost bottleneck and profit distribution after throughput growth. 1. The core economic calculation by toly: Where exactly are the savings? Robinhood's current cost: Robinhood built the Robinhood Chain using the Arbitrum Orbit tech stack. As the underlying infrastructure exchange, Robinhood needs to pay 10% of its on-chain revenue as a share to the Arbitrum protocol. Meanwhile, as trading volume rises, the average on-chain transaction fee (Gas) has quietly increased to $0.4 per transaction. Solana's alternative logic: Solana's single transaction fee is extremely low (usually well below $0.01). toly calculated that just the 10% revenue share Robinhood pays to Arbitrum is equivalent to four times the amount Robinhood would need to fully subsidize user transaction fees on Solana. The ultimate effect: If this "platform share" were saved and directly subsidized to Solana nodes, Robinhood would be fully capable of offering front-end users 0 Gas transactions (paid seamlessly by the platform). 2. BackOn Friday night, the Nonfarm Payroll report will appear as the last key piece before the Federal Reserve's September policy meeting, with enough weight to influence short-term market sentiment 🍂. The current situation is quite delicate: previously, ADP employment added only 38,000 jobs, far below expectations, and the Fed's Beige Book repeatedly mentioned that employment growth slowed in most regions, clearly signaling a cooling labor market. However, paradoxically, the market still bets on a 62.3% probability of a rate hike in September. This contrast stems from stubborn inflation—the core PCE price remains stuck at 3.3%, with more than half of the price components rising over 3% year-on-year. The stickiness of inflation makes Fed officials cautious, only watching and not daring to talk about turning policy.
Tonight's data will be the key to breaking the deadlock ⚖️. If employment continues to weaken, even with high inflation, the market will believe the Fed won't tighten aggressively, and expectations for rate hikes will cool down, possibly giving the crypto market a short-term breather; conversely, if nonfarm payrolls strongly recover, with both employment and inflation out of control, rate hike expectations will heat up again, and risk assets will inevitably face short-term pressure. Currently, it is a tug-of-war between weakening employment and stubborn inflation. Which way the data leans will roughly outline the market trend before the policy meeting. $ETH Please weigh carefully on your own.
Risk warning: The market is highly volatile. The above is only an objective logical analysis and does not constitute any investment advice. Please make decisions rationally.Why is it that even when macro data is predicted correctly, trading doesn't necessarily make money?
In the past, when facing Nonfarm Payrolls, CPI, and interest rate meetings, I always wanted to bet on the answers in advance: go long if the data was weak, go short if the data was strong.
After losing a lot, I realized that the market isn’t trading on whether the data is good or bad, but on the difference between the data and expectations.
Cooling employment seems favorable for easing, but if the market has already priced it in, the release might instead trigger profit-taking; strong data should suppress risk assets, but as long as it’s not as strong as expected, BTC can still rise.
What’s more troublesome is that liquidity thins out instantly at the moment of data release, prices first sweep long positions, then short positions, and although the direction ends up correct, positions have already been liquidated.
I used to open high-leverage trades before data releases, thinking my logic was sound, but as soon as the numbers came out, a spike would hit my stop loss first, and only then would the market move in the predicted direction.
At that moment, I understood: having the right view doesn’t mean the trading structure is reasonable.
Before major data releases, what really needs to be assessed is not just the result, but how much the market has already priced in, whether positions are crowded, and whether you can withstand sudden volatility. When there’s no clear edge, waiting for the market to complete the first reaction is usually more important than trying to grab those few seconds.
Remember: data determines how the story is told, the difference in expectations determines where the price goes; guessing the numbers is just knowledge, surviving the volatility is trading.$CORE Community Rift: Should People Complaining About CORE Just Shut Up and Leave?
A growing sentiment in the community is: those who constantly focus on CORE's problems and keep warning about risks should just sell and exit if they can't stand it.
No one is forcing you to enter; adults are responsible for their own investment gains and losses, so there's no need to stay in the community just to spread negativity and create anxiety.
This viewpoint has won the approval of many token holders. Investing is a personal choice; profits and losses should be borne individually. If you don't believe in it, just step away—there's no need to drain yourself or harm the community atmosphere repeatedly.
But this logic doesn't hold up under close scrutiny.
Those who truly participated in this market cycle have personally experienced vulnerabilities being exposed, emergency hard forks, and repeated delays in exchange deposit and withdrawal channels—each event is an objective fact that has already occurred.
Buying tokens doesn't mean you have to blindly cheer for them.
Being willing to accept gains and losses doesn't mean giving up the right to question. People are complaining about the real issues the project has revealed, not just venting baseless emotions.
Many confuse two things: being bullish on holdings and objectively pointing out risks are not mutually exclusive.
Those firmly holding can continue to be optimistic about future fixes; those who got burned and exited also have the right to share the real problems they encountered.
The value of the community lies in the clash of different viewpoints.
If only one positive voice is allowed and all risk concerns are driven away or censored, then the community loses its meaning as a place for discussion.Trump's message today: 5 quick takes
Quick Take 1:
Trump said, "Growth does not lead to inflation."
He claimed the US GDP growth "should have been 15% to 20%"—economically, this is living in another universe.
But politically, he is paving the way for rate cuts.
Rate cuts = fiat depreciation = BTC rise.
The logic is simple and crude, but effective for the crypto market.
Remember: Trump doesn't want economic correctness; he wants liquidity. And liquidity is BTC's fuel.
Quick Take 2:
"25 years ago"—he precisely anchors the end of the Greenspan era.
This is not a casual remark. He is challenging the entire anti-inflation framework of the Fed over the past 25 years:
"Every time we do well, the fools want to immediately stop this good momentum."
In other words: the economy should keep doing well; inflation is just an excuse.
This is a paradigm war. The old Fed believes "overheating = inflation," Trump says "overheating = prosperity."
Who wins will decide the interest rate trend for the next decade.
Quick Take 3:
$650 billion.
This is the annual extra cost the US pays for every 1 percentage point increase in interest rates, according to Trump.
Previously, this number was $800 billion. The change in scope shows the White House economic team is precisely calculating rate costs.
Rate cuts have been incorporated into fiscal planning, not just campaign slogans.
Watch this number's changes. It tells you: the White House is doing the math, not just shouting slogans.
Quick Take 4:
Trump's logic chain:
Good employment → good economy → should cut rates → stock market rises.
Market's logic chain:
Good employment → inflation worries → no rate cuts → stock market falls.
One of these must be falsified.
Today's fact: 162,000 new nonfarm jobs (expected 55,000), all three major US stock indexes closed down.
The market is voting with its feet.
Trump said, "The market should have soared like a rocket"—but the rocket didn't ignite today.
Quick Take 5:
Trump is fully shifting the blame for "why the stock market isn't rising" onto the Fed.
Today he said rates "should be at 1% or 0.5%"—but now they are 3.5%-3.75%.
A 300 basis point difference.
If he returns to the White House, the Fed's independence will face its biggest challenge since the 1970s.
White House officials say Trump "respects the Fed's independence"—but the 10-year US Treasury yield has already surged to a one-year high of 4.79%.
The market doesn't believe it.
Trump vs. the Fed.
Rate cuts vs. anti-inflation.
Big volatility ahead. Bitcoin's next stop depends on who wins.
$BTC $ETH $ZEC #美联储官员称应加息，9月概率升至58.6% The US August nonfarm payroll data is out—162,000 new jobs added, while the market expected only 56,000, nearly triple the forecast.
The data is explosively good.
Yet the US stock market fell. The Dow dropped 270 points, the S&P and Nasdaq declined across the board. Gold and silver plunged.
Good news turned into bad news. Why?
Because the market thinks—such strong employment means the Federal Reserve is more likely to raise rates in September. The probability of a rate hike jumped directly from 49% to 58%.
At this moment, Trump posted something.
What did he say? "Growth does not cause inflation." "GDP should be 15% to 20%, not 2%, 3%, or 4%." "The US should have the lowest interest rates globally."
The whole internet is laughing at him.
But I want to say—Trump might be half right.
First admit: 15%-20% GDP growth is indeed absurd.
In modern US economic history, the real quarterly annualized GDP growth rate reached 20% only once—34.9% in Q3 2020, which was a technical rebound after the pandemic lockdown.
In a normal year, US Q2 GDP growth is only 1.5%. From 1.5% to 20%, there is a gap of more than a dozen percentage points.
This number is indeed ridiculous.
But Trump touched on a real economic debate.
Mainstream economists’ ridicule is reasonable—traditional logic says fast growth → strong demand → rising prices → inflation.
But here is a key distinction: what kind of growth?
If growth comes from the demand side—massive fiscal stimulus, people spending wildly—then it will indeed cause inflation. Demand chasing supply pushes prices up naturally.
But what if growth comes from the supply side?
Technological breakthroughs improving productivity, lower energy costs, increased manufacturing efficiency—more goods can be bought with the same money. Supply catches up with demand, prices not only don’t rise but may fall.
The story Trump’s team tells is: AI revolution + energy independence + manufacturing reshoring can replicate the productivity miracle of the 1990s. Back then, Greenspan also chose not to rush rate hikes because productivity gains from computer technology gave the economy more room to maneuver.
This logic itself is sound.
The problem is—Trump ignored the difference between "short-term" and "long-term."
Supply-side expansion takes time. AI data centers need to be built, chip factories constructed, power grids upgraded—all require money, and that money is spent today.
In the short term, demand shocks are still demand shocks. Massive fiscal stimulus, large-scale infrastructure, tariffs pushing up import prices—these things won’t disappear just because "long-term supply will catch up."
The Fed’s duty? To prevent short-term overheating from turning into long-term inflation expectations. Once people think "money will depreciate," the wage-price spiral kicks in, and it becomes hard to suppress.
Trump is right about the direction but wrong about the timing.
More worrisome is his call for "the lowest global interest rates," which carries a huge risk.
Every 1 percentage point increase in rates costs the US an additional $650 billion in interest annually. Trump wants rate cuts with a straightforward motive—to save money.
But what if cutting rates just to cut rates collapses the dollar’s credit?
For the crypto market, this is a double-edged sword.
The positive side: Trump pushing for rate cuts → fiat currency devaluation → BTC’s logic as a hard asset strengthens. In the long run, any policy weakening fiat credit is fuel for BTC.
The risk side: if his policies really trigger a dollar credit crisis—short-term liquidity tightening, risk asset sell-offs, leverage liquidations—BTC might be dumped first, then slowly recover.
Today Bitcoin has already dropped to around $79,500, down 1.59% in 24 hours. The entire market liquidated $399 million in 24 hours.
Back to Trump’s statement mocked online.
"Growth does not cause inflation"—this phrase in economics textbooks is indeed not rigorous.
But he touched on a truth: in the past 25 years, the Fed has indeed gone too far down the path of "killing growth with interest rates."
Every time data improves a bit, they think about raising rates. Every time the economy shows signs of life, they press it back down.
Growth itself is not the enemy. The real problem is—what kind of growth you rely on.
Trump may have overestimated the speed of growth.
But he is right that relying on rate hikes to fight inflation is like using fever medicine to treat a cold—the symptoms are suppressed, but the root cause remains.

With so many positive news and such a strong trend, daring to short—isn't that too bold?
No, it's not that I'm bold, but I like contrarian thinking.
What is contrarian thinking?
Why did $SNDK rise yesterday?
Because positive news kept coming, especially being included in the S&P 100 index, effective September 21.
Plus, soon attending Goldman Sachs and Citi tech conferences, with all kinds of AI storage demand stories being hyped up.
Everyone thinks it's good, everyone thinks it will rise, everyone thinks hitting 2000 is not a dream.
This is exactly what I fear the most.
Because a few pieces of information tell me something's off.
First, the internal chief legal officer sold 600 shares at $1525 on September 1.
They will be included in the S&P 100 on September 21; can insiders not know?
They know, so why sell? This is suspicious.
Second, the inclusion only takes effect on September 21, and today is only September 5, more than two weeks away.
The price has already been pulled so high in advance; how will it rise further? By what means?
The news hasn't materialized yet, expectations are already maxed out; when the 21st comes, who will take over?
This signal reminds me of Musk's $SPCX before its IPO.
Back then, positive news was everywhere, with calls to hit 1000, 2000, but what happened?
Now it hovers around 140.
All the good news is out, expectations maxed, what's left is a mess.
There are many positive news and strong trends. But the more so, the more cautious I must be!
Contrarian thinking is not stubbornness, it's experience learned from losses.
This trade is a short at the current price of 1750; I wait for it to pull back to 1600.
No rush. The most patient are those in debt. When it falls to the right level, it's time to take profits.

The latest U.S. employment data is clearly stronger than market expectations, with 162,000 new nonfarm payrolls in August, prompting market expectations for the Fed to maintain or even tighten policy in the short term. This rally appears more like a macro rate repricing rather than a simple internal sell-off in the crypto market. Next, it's worth focusing on the relative performance of BTC and gold.

$BTC ETF single-day inflow hits $731 million
BTC institutional funds have suddenly returned 🔥
After a period of silence, institutions are making big moves again. On September 3, the total net inflow of the US spot Bitcoin ETF reached $731 million, marking the largest single-day net inflow since January 14 this year.
Funds are highly concentrated: BlackRock IBIT inflowed $454 million, accounting for about 62% of the entire market; ARKB inflowed $138 million, Fidelity FBTC inflowed $74.45 million, with leading institutions dominating this buying wave.
Previously, everyone was worried about institutional fund withdrawals. Now the market is clear: BTC falls, ETF outflows; once it stabilizes above 80,000, institutions start accumulating. This large capital inflow, combined with dovish remarks from Federal Reserve officials, has eased September rate hike concerns and improved risk asset sentiment.
But don’t rush to call the bull market back. The $731 million single-day inflow is a strong signal but does not confirm a trend. The key is to watch if net inflows can sustain above $500 million.
If sustained, it means institutions are reallocating BTC; if there is a large outflow the next day, it’s just sentiment repair and short covering.
No need to guess the next candlestick’s rise or fall; focus on ETF funds: a single-day inflow is a signal, continuous inflows indicate a trend.

I am Cige, Hamark has spoken out, saying monetary policy is not restrictive, inflation is still too high, action is needed. After the nonfarm payrolls increased by 162,000, the probability of a rate hike in September has surged to 58.6%. Citi has postponed its first rate cut expectation from October 2026 to June 2027.
But on the other hand, wage growth has dropped to an annual low of 3.09%, and real wage growth has turned negative. Trump has publicly called for the Federal Reserve to cut rates. Employment, inflation, and policy statements are all pulling in different directions, and the direction is not yet unified.
The September CPI will be released on September 11, and Bloomberg economists expect the overall CPI year-on-year to rise to 3.4%, while the core CPI year-on-year is expected to fall to 2.4%. If the core CPI really goes down, the rate hike logic will be re-examined. If the overall CPI exceeds expectations along with the nonfarm payrolls, the Federal Reserve will have little reason to wait.
The nonfarm payrolls have already overturned the table; the CPI will decide how this game ends. The direction hasn't changed, but the pace is shifting. Cige has finished speaking, savor it. $BTC $ETH $ZEC At Friday's close, here's a mechanism explanation for those still holding leveraged positions over the weekend—not to scare you, but to let you know where that spike comes from.
Weekend exchange order books naturally thin out: market makers reduce orders, institutions take a break, and depth drops significantly. The same selling pressure that might only push prices down a few hundred points on a weekday can cause spikes two to three times larger on weekends. Even $BTC, with the best liquidity, can't avoid this, and altcoins are hit even harder—many liquidations aren't because the market truly reversed, but because a spike at midnight sweeps away your stop loss, then the price pulls back, leaving you stuck outside.
So the first rule for holding positions over the weekend isn't about direction, it's about leverage. Even if your direction is right, if your leverage is too high to withstand a weekend spike, you'll still get knocked out. Light positions, or simply no positions, are better than anything else.🔥$ETH September 5 Observation: Price retraces to 2456, ETF like a financial reshuffle, Nonfarm payroll spills the milk tea
This morning ETH is around $2456, down about 1.94% in 24h, range 2432—2546, market cap about 30.5 billion; CryptoSlate exchanges vary between 2453—2502, still up about 28.9% in 30 days but more than half away from the all-time high. After last night's Nonfarm, it dropped from around 2520 to 2440, like receiving a bonus on Monday and being called by HR on Tuesday to redo the reimbursement form.
ETF is not moving in unison, it's an "internal seat swap": on September 2, spot ETH ETF net outflow was about 480,800 (original amount unit is uncertain, written as 48.08M pending verification), on September 3 it reversed to a net inflow of 141.39M, ETHA inflow 72.07M, FETH inflow 65.11M, ETHE small outflow 6.07M; to translate—BlackRock and Fidelity sometimes add positions, Grayscale's old products sometimes withdraw, institutions are not blindly dollar-cost averaging but adjusting monthly duration like salary adjustments. Don't just shout "bull market horn" at single-day inflows, look at weekly net flows and which ones dominate to really see the payroll.
Macro short-term matters more than Vitalik's speeches: strong Nonfarm → rate hike expectations retreat → interest-free assets bow first; upcoming September CPI and FOMC dot plot are the real attendance check. Technicals are not fully drawn, 2450—2460 is the retracement confirmation zone, above 2550—2600 watch volume, below 2400—2420 watch for support. $ETH Woke up in the middle of the night, and the market suddenly started "partying" again 😂
It was still falling last night, but after a sleep:
The crypto market is all in the green.
$ETH, $ZEC, those that dropped a few days ago, have started to recover directly, some even hitting new stage highs.
I think this surge is not triggered by a single piece of news, but more like several factors coinciding.
First, the Fed rate cut expectations are heating up again.
Initial jobless claims data weakened, the market started to trade on the logic of cooling employment, interest rate expectations loosened, and risk assets naturally felt a bit better.
Second, geopolitical tensions are adding fuel to the "digital gold" narrative.
Oil prices rising, gold strengthening, risk aversion sentiment heating up, BTC also benefiting from some emotional premium.
Third, institutional funds are still buying.
BTC ETF funds continued to flow in August, and institutional accumulation of ETH is also quite obvious.
So these factors combined:
Policy expectations easing + geopolitical risk aversion + institutional funds
Naturally, the market started to get restless.
But I still want to remind you:
When prices rise, it's easiest to forget the risks.
Especially after a recent drop, suddenly a continuous rally can easily lead to:
"The drop is over, the bull market is back, hurry and chase!"
And then...
The market gives you another needle. 😂
And tonight there's the big variable of the nonfarm payrolls.
So my own thinking is:
The trend can be bullish, but don't chase recklessly.
Keep holding your base positions,
If you haven't entered yet, wait for a pullback,
Don't bet heavily on direction before the data comes out.
The market never keeps rising just because you are bullish.
Slowing down actually makes it easier to capture the whole move.

The above is only my personal market observation and does not constitute investment advice. #8月非农16.2万远超预期，加息押注升温 After the non-farm payrolls release, BTC and ETH showed a clear divergence in capital flow.
The hawkish non-farm data suppressed risk assets, but the capital performance of the two was completely different. BTC spot ETFs showed strong resilience, with institutions not exiting on a large scale during the pullback; ETH spot ETFs saw a slight net outflow.
Institutions treat BTC as a macro hedge asset, while ETH is considered a growth risk asset. When rate cut expectations cool down, funds prioritize withdrawing from ETH.
Even if the market rebounds later, for ETH to outperform BTC, it must rely on new capital brought by DeFi and re-staking; relying solely on macro recovery makes it difficult to have an independent rally.
⚠️This is a personal market view and does not constitute investment advice.
#美联储官员称应加息，9月概率升至58.6% #BTC兑黄金比率升至1月以来高位，强势能否延续？ #OKX预言家：9月FOMC利率决议预测上线 Guys, last night's U.S. employment data once again gave the market a "surprise." 🇺🇸 August nonfarm payrolls: 162,000 📊 Market expectation about 53,000–55,000 👷 Unemployment rate: 4.1% Average 💵 hourly earnings month-on-month: +0.3% Year-on-year 📈 average hourly earnings: +3.1% 162K far exceeded market expectations, and the combined June and July employment data were revised up by 55,000, with July revised up from -23K to +21K. This means the market's previous assessment of a rapid cooling in U.S. employment may need to be reassessed. After the data release, market risk appetite cooled rapidly: 🟡 gold quickly retreated; BTC quickly dipped above $81K, and ETH fell below $80K 🔵 in the short term, also under pressure 💵. Stronger 📈 dollar, rising US Treasury yields 🏦, and clear expectations for a Fed rate hike in September heating up. Reuters also pointed out that strong employment data has driven market bets on a rate hike in September again, while major US stock indices are generally under pressure after employment data releases. But there is a very critical point 👇 here: strong employment ≠ rate hikes have been decided. The next card the market is truly waiting for is the US CPI release on September 11. If inflation data continues to exceed expectations, the combination of "strong employment + sticky inflation" could further pressure the Fed; Conversely, if CPI cools significantly, market expectations for rate hikes will persist#ZEC continues to hit new all-time highs
The hardest part about the current $ZEC market might not be those who haven't bought, but those who think $800 is too high, don't dare to chase at $900, and start waiting for a pullback at $1000.
Yet it pushed even higher.
ZEC recently surged to around $1050, continuously breaking nearly a decade-long high. A month ago, it was hovering around $500, and now it has almost doubled. The increase over the past 30 days is close to 94%, and the yearly gain exceeds 2300%.
Honestly, this kind of movement can no longer be explained simply by the phrase "privacy coin hype."
Since Grayscale's ZCSH spot ETF launched, it has brought in at least $34.4 million in net inflows; meanwhile, the privacy narrative has reignited, miner hashrate is entering, and capital, story, and chips have all come together perfectly.
The hardest hit are the shorts.
When $ZEC broke through $1000, about $36.6 million in leveraged positions were liquidated within 24 hours, of which $34.5 million were short positions.
This is very typical of the crypto world.
The more people think "it has to fall at such a high price," the more shorts open; the more shorts there are, the more the price is pushed up, and forced liquidations turn into buying pressure, ultimately fueling the rally by the shorts themselves.
Going from $500 to $1000 can rely on trend, but pushing above $1000 is all about sentiment, liquidity, and who holds the last baton!!On June 24, Trump said: For every 1 percentage point increase in interest rates, the U.S. bears an annual cost of $800 billion.
On September 5, Trump said again: For every 1 percentage point increase in interest rates, the U.S. bears an annual cost of $650 billion.
In three months, the difference is $150 billion.
The same president, the same topic, but the numbers changed.
Every number from politicians has a purpose. $650 billion is not just a cost; it’s the equivalent of his artillery shell fired at the Federal Reserve.
The U.S. August nonfarm payroll data was released, with employers adding 162,000 jobs. The data is very strong.
According to normal logic—good economy, strong employment—the Fed has no reason to rush to cut rates.
But Trump’s thinking isn’t like that.
He said: Good data means our credit is good; good credit means we should enjoy lower interest rates.
Then he directly called out Fed Chair Powell: "Be smarter."
Not enough. He added a harsh warning—if rates aren’t cut, he will cut trade with countries that have a trade deficit with the U.S.
Linking interest rates to trade deficits? That’s a new tactic.
Trump’s logic is: Cut rates, or I’ll target countries with trade deficits. He also added—"This is better than tariffs."
A president, on a day when employment data is off the charts, is forcing the central bank to cut rates.
This is not economic logic. This is political arithmetic.
Back to that arithmetic problem.
$800 billion became $650 billion, a drop of 18.75%.
Three possibilities:
Possibility one: The White House team adjusted the base for calculating outstanding debt.
U.S. public debt just surpassed $40 trillion. If the base changes, interest costs naturally change. This is the most neutral explanation.
Possibility two: Their expectations for the "future rate hike path" changed.
If the White House expects no significant rate hikes ahead, the marginal cost per percentage point must be recalculated. This change indicates that rate cuts have been incorporated into fiscal planning, not just campaign slogans.
Possibility three: This is deliberate political rhetoric amplification.
$800 billion sounds scary; $650 billion sounds more "precise." Precise numbers are more persuasive. Changing the number every three months tells the market—we are calculating, watching, and waiting.
Whichever you believe, the conclusion is the same:
The White House economic team is meticulously calculating the fiscal cost of interest rates. This is not a casual slogan; it’s a pressure campaign in operation.
When the nonfarm data came out, Bitcoin immediately crashed from a high of $81,350 to a low of $78,600. The market liquidated $398 million in 24 hours, with longs accounting for 59.77% of liquidations.
BTC once surged to $82,281, then gave it all back.
Why the drop?
Because strong employment data reignited market bets on a Fed rate hike in September.
The market fears rate hikes. Trump is pushing for rate cuts.
The Fed is caught in the middle. And Bitcoin is caught in the middle of the Fed.
25 years ago.
Trump deliberately referenced a time anchor today—"the past 25 years."
25 years ago marked the end of the Greenspan era and the loosening of the Volcker-style anti-inflation framework.
Trump wants to say: That "hit the brakes when things get good" approach needs to change.
He even wrote in his post—"Growth does not cause inflation."
This statement is controversial in economics. But politically, it’s a paradigm declaration.
Trump is pulling the monetary policy debate back to the historical dividing line he recognizes. He wants not just this rate cut—he wants to rewrite the rules themselves.
The $650 billion figure will change again.
Next time it might be $700 billion, or $550 billion.
But the direction is only one way—down.
Because every downward adjustment means the White House is more certain about expecting rate cuts.
If Trump continues in office, the probability of simultaneous fiscal and monetary easing is very high.
This is the macro environment for a "super bull market" for BTC.
But the short-term path won’t be smooth—Powell just signaled rate hikes at Jackson Hole, and the Fed is still divided: Bullard leans hawkish, Waller advocates waiting.
The Fed meeting on September 15-16 will reveal the outcome.
Before that, every Trump post, every number change, is fuel for market volatility.
Every number from politicians has a purpose.
$650 billion is not just a cost; it’s the equivalent of his artillery shell fired at the Fed.
And Bitcoin is right in the middle of the crossfire.
$BTC $ETH $XAU #美联储官员称应加息，9月概率升至58.6% Trump spoke again today, and this time it wasn't just a simple call for rate cuts.
He said: "Growth does not cause inflation."
Just that one sentence shattered economics textbooks.
For the past 25 years, the entire framework of the Federal Reserve has been built on an ironclad rule — when the economy grows fast, inflation will come, so interest rates must be raised in advance to "kill" it. This is called the Phillips Curve, something every economics student memorizes in their first year.
Trump says: Wrong. All wrong.
"25 years ago" is not just a casual remark, it's a historical dividing line.
He specifically mentioned a time point — "It was like this until 25 years ago."
Which year was 25 years ago? 2001.
The end of the Greenspan era, the watershed moment when the Volcker-style anti-inflation framework was established.
Who is Volcker? The man who, in the 1980s, pushed interest rates up to 20% and forcibly crushed double-digit inflation. Since then, "preemptive inflation fighting" has become the DNA of the Federal Reserve — raising rates whenever the economy improves, regardless of whether inflation has appeared.
What Trump is saying: This 25-year-old game rule should be scrapped.
He is not just calling out; he is rejecting the entire framework.
$650 billion, this number has significance.
Trump's original words: "For every one percentage point increase in interest rates, the U.S. bears a cost of $650 billion annually."
Note, on June 24 when he spoke, this number was $800 billion.
From $800 billion down to $650 billion — the White House economic team is doing precise calculations. They are using internal models to estimate the baseline interest rate path, not just throwing out slogans.
What does this mean? The Trump administration has a quantified estimate of the impact of rate cuts and is waiting for the "most cost-effective" timing to act.
The ultimate impact on crypto assets
If Trump truly reshapes the Federal Reserve framework —
In a long-term low interest rate environment, Bitcoin’s holding cost as a "non-yielding asset" permanently decreases.
This is not a short-term bullish factor; it is a reshaping of the valuation system.
In recent years, Bitcoin has fluctuated, with everyone watching ETF inflows and outflows, and options expirations. But the real underlying logic is: where is the money most cost-effective to put.
If interest rates stay low for a long time, the opportunity cost of holding Bitcoin drops to zero. At that point, Bitcoin is no longer a "risk asset" — it becomes a substitute for zero-coupon bonds.
But there is a problem.
Trump also said another thing today: if the Federal Reserve does not cut rates, he will cut off trade with countries that have trade deficits.
The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield immediately surged to 4.79%, a one-year high.
The market is telling him: We don’t buy it.
He wants low rates, but the bond market is pushing rates higher. He wants to reshape the paradigm, but the market says "You don’t decide."
Trump wants to kill not just high interest rates.
He wants to kill the entire monetary policy philosophy that has suppressed asset prices for the past 25 years.
If this battle is won, Bitcoin’s valuation logic will be completely rewritten.
But if lost — the bond market will raise rates on behalf of the Federal Reserve.
$BTC $ETH $XAU #美联储官员称应加息，9月概率升至58.6% #美联储官员称应加息, the probability of a September hike rose to 58.6%, and Barr said, "We should raise rates decisively." Williams said, "We can't be sure if current rates are sufficient." There were three votes in favor of a rate hike in July. Potential votes in favor "exceeded half." Then the market pushed the probability of a September rate hike to 58.6%. Everything seemed like a consensus in the process of taking shape. Centrists shifted, the number three softened, and hawks were no longer isolated. The logic of the news was tightly woven: officials changed their wording, so the nature of the September meeting changed. But if you put the numbers in this news side by side, you find a crack carefully hidden by the "consensus" narrative: the market priced "September rate hike" at 58.6%, but only 14.3% at "another hike in October." That 14.3% is the most glaring number in the whole news story. It shows the market doesn't believe the "hawkish consensus" will last. It only believes there might be one hike in September, then stops. The so-called "consensus" is essentially a one-act drama. The market bought the vote, but only believed the first act. Change the subject to "those three July votes" If the subject is "Barr," the story is a "centrist turn." If the subject is "Williams," the story is "the third person softening." But if the subject is those three dissenting votes that voted on interest rates at the July FOMC meeting, a hidden time rift appears in the narrative. Note: July. It's September now. These three votes were cast at the July meeting. At that time, US Treasury yields, inflation data, and oil prices
