$BTC Breaking: There may not be much time left for the Crypto "Clarity Act"! The situation really doesn't look optimistic!!
┈➤ House of Representatives is pressed for time
The House has canceled votes for two weeks on September 21 and September 28.
The House will start work on September 14, hold a 4-day session, then leave Washington to return to their states to campaign for the midterm elections, after all, House members can be re-elected indefinitely.
┈➤ Senate is wavering
The problem is, the Crypto "Clarity Act" is currently stuck in the Senate, and the Senate's version is different from the House's.
So at the earliest, it requires: Senate pre-vote (procedural vote) passage, Senate formal vote passage, and then the House voting again to pass the Senate's version.
If the procedural vote passes, there may still be formal debates and possibly amendments. After the Senate vote passes, it is uncertain whether the House will make further changes.
From September 15 to September 18, only 4 days remain; the time left for the Crypto "Clarity Act" is really limited.
┈➤ The bigger issue is the Democrats may retake both chambers
The bigger issue is that current media polls, including @Polymarket's market, show the Democrats' support rate is higher than the Republicans'.
If the Democrats retake both chambers, especially the Senate, then whether the Crypto "Clarity Act" can pass is really uncertain...$900 million USD violently entering the market! BTC breaks 80,000, ETH surges to 2,500: Wall Street is back, but high leverage hides risks
Overnight, the crypto market was directly pushed up by real money.
Bitcoin $BTC held above $81,000, and Ethereum broke through the $2,500 mark in one go. This rally is not retail hype; it is solid institutional money from Wall Street — BTC and ETH spot ETFs together attracted nearly $900 million, with institutional demand making a strong comeback after a brief fluctuation.
1. The truth about the funds: 730 million flowed into BTC, two ETFs absorbed all ETH inflows
The flow of funds clearly shows "institution-led".
• The US spot Bitcoin ETF had a single-day net inflow of $730.8 million, the largest single-day net inflow since January 2026, with BlackRock's IBIT product alone contributing $454 million, accounting for over 60%;
• Ethereum ETFs had a total net inflow of $141.4 million, with just BlackRock's ETHA and Fidelity's FETH two leading products absorbing $137.2 million, nearly covering all net inflows across all categories.
The rhythm of funds is dramatic:
On September 1, Bitcoin ETFs had a large outflow of $236.5 million, then returned $100 million the next day, and surged to $730 million by September 3; Ethereum ended a 12-day consecutive net inflow with a single-day outflow of $48.2 million, but new funds immediately entered the next day.
This is not a steady long-term layout but a pulse-style rush to accumulate; institutional sentiment switches faster than imagined.
2. Short squeeze unfolds! $57 billion open interest hits a new high since May, $260 million shorts liquidated
More impactful than the funds is the short squeeze effect on the market.
Bitcoin futures open interest exceeded $57 billion, reaching the highest level since May. Massive buy orders directly consumed sell orders above, and despite rising US and Japanese bond yields, spot prices were still pushed up forcefully.
As prices rose, over $260 million in short positions were liquidated, triggering the most intense short squeeze since August 21.
3. A sober note: High leverage is a double-edged sword, sustained accumulation not yet confirmed
The more the whole network shouts bull market, the more we need to calmly assess risks.
A market with high open interest and high leverage always rises sharply and falls fiercely. The thrill of a short squeeze is matched by the terror of forced selling on reversal, with volatility amplified by leverage.
More importantly: it is still too early to conclude that a new sustained accumulation cycle has started.
Large outflows just days ago turned into huge inflows; funds come and go quickly. This looks more like institutions using a macro window for short-term swings, not steady long-term capital inflows. Whether the rally continues depends on whether funds keep following.
Final thoughts
This is a real-money institutional market, not fake hype; it is also a high-leverage volatile market, not a one-sided bull market.
Don’t go all-in shouting bull market just because of one big green candle, nor ignore the power of institutional funds. Respect the current trend and maintain your risk control bottom line. In this market, survival is always more important than making quick money.
#BTC兑黄金比率升至1月以来高位，强势能否延续？ The non-farm payrolls data leaning hawkish suppresses the market, ETH remains flat, while L2 tokens lead the rally
The non-farm data exceeded expectations with a hawkish tilt, BTC showed a pattern of rising sharply then falling back; ETH’s volatility elasticity clearly expanded, most of the previous gains were quickly given back, and the market returned to a high-level consolidation range.
A subtle phenomenon appeared in the market: ARB, OP, and CRV have recently taken turns showing strong movements, the profit-making effect in the Layer 2 network ecosystem is visibly evident, with ecosystem tokens taking turns to gain momentum, yet ETH, the core asset, remains flat and dormant. This "little brothers charge ahead, big brother stays put" pattern has always been full of divergence in crypto market history. Some interpret it as a precursor signal for the main coin’s subsequent catch-up rally, but there is a more cautionary logic: the hotter the L2 track gets, the more it dilutes Ethereum mainnet’s own value capture ability.
Capital verbally favors the entire Ethereum ecosystem but actually rotates and switches among various ecosystem sectors. The direct result is that the ETH/BTC exchange rate has yet to reclaim the 0.04 level, and the market’s anticipated independent strengthening rally has not materialized.
On the macro level, the situation became awkward after the non-farm data release. September rate hike expectations continue to rise, U.S. Treasury yields remain high, and these known market risks hang overhead. More troublesome than short-term rate hikes is that if the economy maintains this lukewarm resilience, the Federal Reserve has no urgent reason to ease, and the timing for liquidity easing is likely to be much later than the market originally expected. #Fed officials say rate hikes are necessary, #高盛称美联储9月加息可能性非常低
#FOMC前最后一组数据：本周五非农
Last night at 20:30, the U.S. Department of Labor dropped a bomb.
August nonfarm payrolls increased by 162,000, while the market expected only 56,000—nearly three times the expectation.
June and July data were also revised upward by a total of 55,000.
So what happened in the market?
Gold: Spot gold plunged over $70 in the short term. The intraday low hit $4,365, diving straight down from above $4,470.
Silver: Short-term plunge of $1.5 to $65.7/oz, briefly falling below the $65 mark.
Dollar Index: Sharp short-term surge of 34 points, reaching 99.36.
Bitcoin: Crashed through $80,000 instantly from $81,600, with over $200 million liquidated across the network in one hour, including $186 million in long liquidations. Total liquidation in the past 24 hours reached $768 million.
This is not isolated battles. This is a collective shift in the macro narrative—
from “weak economy → pause rate hikes” back to “strong economy → rate hikes.”
After the data release, the probability of a Fed rate hike in September surged from 50/50 to 60.3%.
History doesn’t simply repeat, but it often rhymes.
On June 5, the exact same script played out: nonfarm payrolls beat expectations → gold crashed → Bitcoin dropped to $61,801 → $160 million liquidated.
Last night, the same script replayed at a different price.
The gold-silver ratio was already high before the data release—silver has retraced over 23% from its January peak.
Weak industrial demand amplifies silver’s downside elasticity in a rate hike environment. The gold-silver ratio widens—
Is this an early warning signal of recession, or simply an interest rate shock?
The answer might be both.
Some say BTC is “digital gold.”
So why did it fall with gold?
Because at this moment, they are both “non-yielding assets”—in the face of rate hike expectations, none is more special than the other.
The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield jumped to 4.792%, and the 2-year soared to 4.406%.
Rising risk-free rates directly drain zero-yield assets.
When gold, silver, and BTC all plunge together on the same nonfarm data,
don’t ask “Why did BTC fall too?”—
ask about the macro.
The new rule under Fed Chair Powell is: no forward guidance, only hard data—good data means rate hikes, bad data means pause.
Friday’s nonfarm is just the “first round of screening,” next week’s CPI is the “final verdict.”
$BTC $XAU The Crypto market today is facing an important test. Just a few hours earlier, Bitcoin had surpassed $82,000 when Fed official Christopher Waller's statement lowered expectations for a rate hike in September. But after the US employment data was released, the picture immediately changed. The US added 162,000 jobs in August, much higher than the expected range of about 55,000–65,000. The unemployment rate remained at 4.1%, while average wages increased by 0.3% month-over-month and 3.1% year-over-year The emperor takes turns sitting on the throne, and privacy coins have finally rotated to $DASH, with a 40% surge that brings pride and joy.
But everyone, take note: this is not a simple rotation from the leading $ZEC to the second-in-line, but rather a stroke of luck as DASH has its own independent positive catalyst:
1. Dash's offline conference acted as a catalyst. Yesterday's offline meeting in Amsterdam announced two things: integrating AI inference directly into payment scenarios; and completing mobile privacy payment testing.
2. Moreover, the ecosystem has had a major upgrade. Dash's mainnet launched, adding decentralized storage and a domain name system, making DASH not just a payment coin but also expanding its application scenarios and project narrative.
3. Of course, the trigger was Grayscale launching the Zcash Trust on the 25th, heating up the privacy sector. Retail investors started sweeping the entire privacy track, with three established privacy coins strengthening one after another. DASH is essentially riding the wave, not the main character.
So, a word of caution: this time it’s just good luck; otherwise, in a rotation market, the leader would definitely outperform the second significantly.
Don’t think that just because the leader is expensive, you should buy the second, because the second is either leftovers or falling even harder.#美联储官员称应加息，9月概率升至58.6% The probability of a rate hike has surged to 58.6%, yet BTC remains sideways — what is the market waiting for? I just glanced at the CME data, and the probability of a September rate hike has jumped again. 58.6%. The probability of keeping rates unchanged is only 41.4%. About a week ago, it was hovering around 34%. After Waller shouted at Jackson Hole that "inflation is not under control yet," the probability soared directly to 70%. When Waller made a dovish comment, it fell back to around 50%. After the nonfarm payrolls release, it bounced back to 58.6%. The market is being pulled back and forth and is quite unsettled. The nonfarm payroll data exceeded expectations by three times, which is the biggest variable. August nonfarm payrolls increased by 162,000, nearly three times the expected amount. The labor market's resilience is absurdly strong, supported by AI infrastructure investment and credit expansion sustaining the economy. The previously feared logic that "employment collapse would force the Fed to pivot" has been disproven by this data. But the problem is — the Fed is now truly focused on inflation, not employment. Waller's stance is very clear: core inflation won't return to 2%, so the Fed still has work to do. Although Waller is dovish, he left a door open: "If inflation data is hot, I will consider a rate hike." Therefore, next week's CPI is the real decisive factor. Nonfarm payrolls are just the appetizer; CPI is the main course — I've said this before, and it still holds true. The probability of a rate hike jumped from 35% to 65%, and the first to buckle were high-valuation tech stocks. BTC has been trading sideways in the 75,000-80,000 range recently, neither falling sharply with the US stock market nor independently surging The crypto market, which had been declining, suddenly rebounded noticeably in a short time. BTC regained a key position, ETH began to recover from previous days' losses, and ZEC showed a very strong independent rally, once hitting a nearly decade high. But looking back now, this rally was not driven solely by a single piece of news. It was more like: macro expectations + capital inflows + narrative switching + short covering — several forces appearing simultaneously. First, market expectations for Fed rate cuts had clearly risen. But yesterday's U.S. August nonfarm payroll data directly reversed the market's expectations. U.S. August nonfarm payrolls added 162,000, far exceeding the market's previous expectation of about 50,000 people, while the unemployment rate remained at 4.1%. This means the U.S. job market may be more resilient than previously imagined. After the data was released, market expectations for the Fed's September policy quickly repriced, rate hike bets rose to nearly 60%, and U.S. Treasury yields rose accordingly. So an interesting change emerged here: Previously, "employment weakened→ rate cut expectations warmed up→ risk assets rose." Now it has become—"jobs too strong→ rate hike expectations → dollars and yields rising → BTC under short-term pressure." This is also why BTC quickly fell below $80,000 after the nonfarm payroll release, while previously it had surged near $82,000. Second, liquidity remains worth watching. Before the nonfarm payroll release, US spot BT💥Non-farm payrolls far exceed expectations, the entire market collectively plunges! Interest rate hike expectations rapidly heat up
Brothers, last night's non-farm data completely stunned the entire financial market.
The market expected an increase of 56,000 jobs, but the actual figure was as high as 162,000, marking a three-month high. July's data was also revised upward by 44,000, from -23,000 to +21,000. For two consecutive months, the data has exceeded market expectations, showing no signs of weakening or cooling in the job market.
The moment the data was released, the market completely reversed. Gold plummeted $70 in one go, silver dropped $1.5, the US dollar index rose by 34 basis points, and CME market bets on a September rate hike surged rapidly. The previously optimistic sentiment in the morning session vanished instantly. BTC plunged quickly from 81,600, ETH fell below the 2,450 mark, triggering massive long position liquidations.
My judgment is clear: this strong data directly pushes Waller's "data-dependent policy" to the brink of a decision.
On Thursday, Waller stated that inflation CPI is the key basis for judgment, but the non-farm payrolls unexpectedly came out first. The CPI data on September 11 will be the final arbiter: if CPI also exceeds expectations, a September rate hike is basically set in stone.
Currently, the market RSI has dropped to 12.5, entering an extremely oversold zone in the short term, so a slight technical rebound is possible. But tonight's non-farm data has rewritten the medium-term macro logic. Before the official CPI release, every rally and rebound is very likely a bull trap. Don't forget that the same script played out in June and July data consecutively. After the non-farm payrolls came out last night, both $BTC and $XAU were hit, but their subsequent trends diverged significantly.
$BTC dropped from 82279 all the way below 80,000 and is now hovering around 79,500. The non-farm data clearly exceeded expectations, reigniting rate hike bets. BTC reacted most directly; once it broke below 80,000, it hasn't truly recovered since.
$XAU is different. Last night it dipped to a low of 4369.7, but quickly bounced back above 4430 and is now near 4438. With rising rate hike expectations and US Treasury yields climbing, gold should logically continue to face pressure, but there is clearly buying support around 4360–4380.
On the upside, gold is first looking at 4450–4470; only by reclaiming this range does it have a chance to test 4493 again. For BTC, keep an eye on 80,000; if it can't reclaim that level, watch out for support at 79,200 and 78,800.
The same data, yet gold has recovered most of its losses while BTC remains below 80,000.
If next week's inflation data heats up again, I feel BTC will struggle more than gold.
#BTC兑黄金比率升至1月以来高位，强势能否延续？ The latest U.S. employment data was clearly stronger than expected, with nonfarm payrolls adding about 162,000 in August, far above the market's previous forecast of about 56,000, and the unemployment rate still holding steady at 4.1%. Strong employment performance has renewed expectations for the Fed to maintain a hawkish policy or even raise rates in September. As a result, the dollar and Treasury yields have risen, putting pressure on risk assets. BTC is currently fluctuating around $78.3K, with ETH and SOL also under pressure. Rather than interpreting the crypto market decline individually, I prefer to observe BTC's performance relative to gold. If BTC can maintain relative resilience amid hawkish interest rate expectations and a stronger dollar, it may indicate that macro demand for digital assets has not significantly diminished. Conversely, if BTC continues to weaken compared to gold, it would be important to be cautious of further cooling of risk appetite. Next, it is worth focusing on the U.S. CPI and the Federal Reserve's September meeting, as these data may become important catalysts for the next phase of market direction. This is for market analysis only and does not constitute investment advice.$ETH Major Drop Review: Nonfarm Payrolls Crash as the Trigger, Upward Volatile Structure Intact
The recent rapid decline of $ETH was directly triggered by the unexpectedly strong nonfarm payroll data.
This nonfarm data significantly exceeded expectations, completely reversing the market's previous anticipation of economic weakness and a slowdown in rate hikes, directly reinforcing the market narrative of a Fed rate hike in September. The labor market's strong resilience means wages and inflation are unlikely to fall quickly, giving the Fed ample reason to maintain a hawkish stance. Risk assets came under pressure accordingly, and ETH experienced a rapid correction.
However, a short-term news-driven crash does not indicate a trend reversal.
I have directly positioned a long base at this moment, with a simple core logic: the nonfarm data is a one-time macro sentiment shock, a short-term negative, not a fundamental collapse.
The crypto market has always been characterized by sharp drops on news, sentiment recovery, and repeated shakeouts. This crash is more about panic selling pressure releasing funds. Subsequently, $ETH is unlikely to continue a one-sided decline but will enter a wide-range volatile consolidation phase, fully digesting rate hike expectations and washing out floating chips before attempting another upward breakout.
In the short term, bearish pressure suppresses the market; in the medium term, the volatile accumulation structure remains intact. Patience is needed to wait for sentiment to warm and the market to return to its original rhythm.

Strictly control position size and set stop losses during volatile markets #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 Bitcoin and gold have both been rising recently, with Bitcoin increasing a bit faster. This situation is quite unusual!
Let's dig into the reasons behind it.
The reasons are roughly as follows:
People feel the Federal Reserve's rate hike momentum is weakening
U.S. national debt has surpassed 40 trillion, and except for Switzerland, major developed countries have debt-to-GDP ratios exceeding 100%
Funds are treating Bitcoin like gold, buying it as a hedge
There is also capital inflow back into Bitcoin ETFs
Bitcoin's correlation with Nasdaq has dropped to a one-year low, while its correlation with gold has risen to the highest in recent years.
The key is to watch the Federal Reserve meeting on September 16.
Bitcoin and gold have been rising very synchronously lately; historically, such high synchronization doesn't last long.
Once the bond market stabilizes and people start chasing tech stocks again, Bitcoin could rise further relative to gold. This non-farm payroll punch has stunned gold $XAUT
The US added 162,000 jobs in August, while the expectation was only about 55,000, and the unemployment rate remained at 4.1%. After the data clearly exceeded expectations, the dollar and US Treasury yields quickly rose, and spot gold once dropped about $80, directly breaking below $4,400.
XAUT also fell in sync, hitting a low of about $4,398 during the session, and has now returned to around $4,460.
This trend is actually easy to understand.
Gold had just experienced a continuous rebound, with XAUT falling from around $4,610 on August 26 to about $4,390 on September 2, then quickly rebounding above $4,500. Today, the non-farm payrolls again disrupted the market's interest rate expectations, high-level funds chose to take profits, and the price was naturally pushed down again.
But here is a detail: XAUT is still holding near $4,400 and has not experienced an uncontrolled drop.
In the short term, I will focus on the $4,400 level. If it can hold, it means this is more like a quick shakeout caused by macro data; if $4,400 is effectively broken, the next step is to watch for support near $4,300.
Gold is no longer competing on safe-haven sentiment, but on the game between the dollar, interest rates, and inflation expectations.
Non-farm payrolls are just the first hurdle; next week's US inflation data may be the next card that decides whether this gold pullback can stabilize.Some of my recent analyses about $SNDK have been correct, and some have not.
This stock is now completely unpredictable; some say with such a big rise at this position, should we jump in?
Although my analysis isn't very accurate, my bearish view remains unchanged!
Yesterday, SNDK surged directly to $1736.50, closing near $1719, with a single-day increase of over 10%, and trading volume significantly expanded.
What’s even more outrageous is that the broader market was actually under pressure yesterday due to strong non-farm payrolls and rising rate hike expectations, with the S&P and Nasdaq both down, yet SanDisk became the target of frenzied buying.
Currently, the market is mainly speculating on AI + storage demand, NAND prices, and semiconductor sector rotation, so it is indeed very strong in the short term.
But here’s the problem: after such continuous rallies, can we still blindly chase it?US August nonfarm payroll data far exceeded expectations (162,000 new jobs, expected only 55,000), sharply heating up rate hike expectations, strengthening the dollar, and putting pressure on the crypto market overall. BTC plunged from above $82,000 to $78,609, with total market liquidations totaling about $399 million in 24 hours. Below is a breakdown of the seven selected currencies one by one. 1. $ZEC — A once-in-a-decade outbreak, but risks are already high Latest price: 1,027.14 USDT | Today's change: +4.07% | Turnover: $105 million ZEC is the absolute star of this rally. It has surged nearly 100% in the past month, breaking through the $1,000 mark for the first time in nearly 10 years, and briefly touched $1,045 intraday. The driving force comes from three cards: Grayscale launched the first U.S. Zcash spot ETF (ZCSH) in late August, opening compliance channels for institutions; AI privacy scandals ignited privacy narratives; On-chain shielding pools grew to 4.86 million ZEC, signaling a rebound in real usage demand. About $34.5 million in short positions were forcibly liquidated, further fueling the rally. But the risks are also significant: the daily RSI has approached 80, in deeply overbought territory; Open interest has surged to about $2.4 billion. The key support range is between $985 and $1,005. Holding is historical support; falling back is a false breakout. 2. $BTC — $80,000 battle, bulls hang by a thread Latest price: 79,524.3 USDT | Today's change: +0.12% | Turnover: $5.After the non-farm payrolls, the market didn’t collapse; instead, it became clearer who has real buying power and who is just riding liquidity.
$BTC Strong non-farm data pushed the rate hike probability back up, causing BTC to briefly drop below 80,000, but ETF funds flowed back in large amounts, with a recent single-day net inflow of about $731 million. This combination is very interesting: macro is suppressing valuations, but institutions are still buying, so BTC now feels more like a tug-of-war between high interest rates and long-term allocation funds.
$ETH still shows greater elasticity than BTC, rebounding about 5% at one point on Thursday. The current logic is not just about the coin price; ETF funds are flowing back, staking continues to lock up tokens, and as long as institutional demand can keep absorbing supply, ETH tends to react faster than BTC once macro conditions ease again.
$BICO, on the other hand, requires more caution. The current price is about $0.02, showing clear weakness over the past week. The sentiment brought by exchange expansion earlier is fading. What needs to be proven now is not "whether it can still pump," but whether account abstraction and on-chain infrastructure can bring real users back.
$OKB is around $108, with focus continuing on X Layer application growth; $QQQ faces high interest rate pressure, but chip stocks are relatively strong; $SNDK surged nearly 12% on Friday, as AI data centers continue to trade NAND shortages; $SKHYNIX continues to benefit from HBM demand, but after Samsung’s catch-up, the market focus has shifted from demand to market share.
#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？ Bitcoin Historical Cycle Rate
⚠️For market review only, not investment advice, crypto market is highly volatile
It can be divided into six major layers: supply side, demand side, macro liquidity, regulatory expectations, chip and leverage, narrative belief.
1. Supply Side: Scarcity, Four-Year Halving (Underlying Foundation)
Total permanent cap of 21 million coins, no additional issuance.
Every 4 years halving, the daily new Bitcoin output by miners is directly halved, reducing new market selling pressure.
- Historical pattern: Market often trades ahead of halving expectations, major tops mostly appear 12-18 months after halving.
- Current status: 94% of Bitcoin has been mined, new circulation is decreasing; large amounts of coins remain unmoved long-term (whales hoarding, cold wallets), exchange liquid chips decrease, small amounts of funds can push prices up.
2. Demand Side: Real Buying, Institutions Are the Biggest Variable This Cycle
1. US Spot ETFs
BlackRock and other ETFs provide pensions, family offices, and ordinary Americans a compliant channel to buy BTC; continuous net inflows into ETFs represent ongoing passive buying, the most important indicator of mid-term trend.
2. Listed Companies Hoarding Coins (e.g., MicroStrategy)
Companies convert part of their cash into Bitcoin on their balance sheets, continuously buying and directly absorbing market circulating chips.
3. Global Retail and High Net Worth Allocation
Treat Bitcoin as "digital gold" to hedge fiat overissuance and geopolitical risks.
3. Macro Liquidity (Most Impactful, Short-Term Primary Driver)
Bitcoin is a highly elastic risk asset, highly sensitive to US dollar liquidity.
1. Fed rate cut expectations, US Treasury yields decline
Risk-free interest rates fall, funds flow out of bonds into stocks, Bitcoin, and other risk assets; when Treasury yields surge, Bitcoin usually comes under pressure.
2. Weakening US dollar makes Bitcoin priced in dollars easier to rise.
Simply put: In a loose liquidity environment, Bitcoin is more likely to bull; when liquidity tightens, even strong narratives are easily suppressed.
4. Regulatory Policy Expectations
- Positive: Clear crypto legislation in the US, softer SEC stance, ETF approvals, more countries allowing compliant holding, opening space for incremental funds.
- Negative: Total bans, strict regulation, directly suppressing the market.
A large part of bull markets is trading on "expectations of improved regulation."
5. Chip Structure + Leverage Short Squeeze (Short-Term Surge Catalyst)
1. Long-term holders on-chain do not move: large BTC locked in cold wallets, not selling, shrinking circulating supply.
2. Derivatives leverage: price breaks key resistance, large accumulated shorts are forcibly liquidated, short sellers buying coins to close positions become passive buyers, further driving price up—this is a short squeeze. Many rapid big green candles come from leverage liquidations, not all from spot buying.
6. Narrative Belief: Value Consensus
Two core narratives:
1. Inflation resistance, hedge against fiat depreciation: governments can print money, but Bitcoin’s total supply cannot be changed.
2. Decentralized digital value storage, not controlled by any single country.
Narratives themselves don’t directly drive price up but attract funds willing to allocate, turning stories into real money.
Conversely, what can interrupt the rise?
1. Fed raises rates again, liquidity tightens; Treasury yields continue rising.
2. ETFs shift from net inflows to sustained large redemptions, institutional funds withdraw.
3. Global economic crisis, all risk assets crash together.
4. Major negative regulatory news.
5. Excessive leverage accumulation followed by concentrated long liquidations and a liquidation cascade causing price drops.
Summary in one sentence
Halving tightens supply as foundation; macro liquidity determines the big environment; ETFs and institutional funds provide incremental buying; regulation opens institutional space; leverage and sentiment amplify price swings.
Looking at a single factor alone leads to misjudgment; multiple factors must resonate together to produce a major bull market.The August non-farm payrolls really slapped all the "recession camp" in the face 🥊
Everyone was originally waiting for an "expected weakness" — ADP even reported the worst number of the year at 38,000, and the market obediently set expectations at 56,000. But wow, the Labor Department directly threw out 162,000, nearly three times the expected value. What happened to the July "recession signal" of -23,000? Sorry, it has been revised to +21,000, making everyone’s grumbling over the past month pointless.
The private sector was not to be outdone, with 127,000 versus the expected 45,000, directly rubbing the narrative of "employment cooling down" into the ground. Some had already laid the groundwork: July job vacancies quietly rose to 7.27 million, and layoffs dropped to the lowest level of the year — but no one took it seriously. This "signal ignored" episode is arguably the blunder of the year.
Wages were relatively restrained, up 3.1% year-over-year, slightly higher than expected but a bit lower than July’s 3.2%, barely qualifying as "not completely crazy."
Now, the market is directly betting that the Federal Reserve will raise rates this month, with CME’s rate hike probability climbing rapidly. But don’t get too excited yet; next week’s CPI is the real big boss — relying on just one non-farm payroll report to make the Fed’s decision is too naive. #美联储官员称应加息，9月概率升至58.6% It's the weekend, and BTC is hovering around 79,500. After the Nonfarm Payrolls bombshell, the market has been digesting it.
Honestly, the Nonfarm number of 162,000 directly slapped in the face of all those betting on weakness. Yesterday during the day, BTC was pushed from 77,000 up to 82,000 because Waller said that slowing inflation might support a pause in September, which excited the market. But when the data came out last night, the gap from expectations was fully realized, and the price dropped from 81,600 to below 80,000 within minutes.
The 79,500 level is neither up nor down. Support is between 78,500-79,000; if broken, look to 77,500. Resistance has formed at 80,500.
No major news over the weekend, so it will likely grind between 78,500 and 80,500. Next week’s CPI is the real highlight; the rate hike probability is currently 55-58%. The CPI data will push it either up to 70% or back down to 30%. Wait for the CPI release before making moves; acting now is just gambling.
Manage your positions well, don’t chase highs or catch bottoms, and have a good rest over the weekend.

Personal opinion for reference onlyMacro level: US ISM and JOLTS data diverge, August nonfarm payrolls significantly exceed expectations, employment revised upward, raising the probability of a rate hike in September. US Treasury yields rise, geopolitical conflicts disturb risk appetite, BTC experiences a rollercoaster driven by macro factors, surging then retreating, ETFs still see inflows, the market faces a dual sell-off, and the short-term trend remains unclear.
US stock industry: AI earnings are hot, Dell's performance greatly exceeds expectations, the market begins to focus on the entire server, HBM, and storage industry chain, with Micron, Samsung, and SK Hynix attracting capital attention.
Crypto sector: Polymarket secures huge financing, institutional and political capital increase investment in crypto infrastructure, but regulatory pressure is huge. The storage narrative spills over to FIL and AR, but only as a narrative; on-chain real demand remains to be verified. Public chain landscape differentiates, SOL benefits from short-term sentiment elasticity, ETH relies on stablecoins, RWA, and other asset accumulation. SNDK and HYPE see intensified divergence, with fierce long-short battles in HYPE.
Recommendations
Macro priority: Current nonfarm payrolls raise rate hike expectations, focus on tracking CPI, maintain a defensive approach overall before interest rate uncertainties resolve, avoid heavy positions chasing highs.
Target differentiation:
High elasticity varieties HYPE, FIL, AR, SOL: suitable only for speculative rotation, must be accompanied by volume expansion and BTC mainline holding firm to participate; do not chase low-volume hype, pullback risks far exceed mainstream coins. #全球最大主权基金拟减持800亿美元美债, Norway's sovereign wealth fund, $2.3 trillion, the largest in the world. It said it wanted to reduce its exposure to U.S. Treasuries by 12.2 percentage points, about $80 billion. Once the news broke, it was interpreted as "sovereign capital's confidence in U.S. Treasuries is loosening." But look at the calendar: this proposal was issued on September 1. The Federal Reserve's September policy meeting is from September 15 to 16. There is exactly a two-week gap between them. And the final review of this proposal will be held in spring 2027. It is not in a hurry to implement it now, nor does it need to announce it to the world in early September. It is not even a "decision," but simply a letter to Norway's Ministry of Finance. But its release timing is precisely at the most sensitive window before the FOMC meeting. This is the strangest part of this news: it's not what Norway wants to do, but why it chose this moment to let the world know what it wants to do. Replace the subject with "the letter sent on September 1st." If the subject is "Norway's sovereign wealth fund," the story is "long-term capital repricing U.S. Treasuries." If the subject is "$80 billion," the story is "selling pressure." But if the subject is the September 1 suggestion letter that could have quietly sat in the drawer of the Norwegian Ministry of Finance, the nature of the entire narrative changes. The content of this letter has long been discussed in the expert committee of the Norwegian sovereign fund. Their long-term allocation framework, views on government bond weighting, and preferences for institutional MBS—these are not new ideas that suddenly emerged on September 1. They are slow variablesU.S. stocks closed lower on Friday, with the Nasdaq down 0.3% intraday and the S&P 500 down 0.4%; gold dropped 0.8% to $4430 per ounce; Brent crude oil slightly retreated 0.1% to $95.3 per barrel.
The heavyweight August nonfarm payroll data was released in the evening: 162,000 new jobs added, significantly exceeding the market expectation of 56,000; the July previous value was revised upward from -23,000 to 21,000, showing the labor market's resilience far beyond prior market forecasts. After the data release, the market quickly repriced Federal Reserve policy, with the probability of a September rate hike rising to 60%.
U.S. Treasury yields and the dollar rose simultaneously, putting pressure on rate-sensitive assets. Gold and $BTC faced pressure and pulled back, and valuations of U.S. growth stocks were impacted by rate hike expectations. Although the employment data was strong, it does not guarantee a rate hike; next week's August CPI inflation data will be the most important reference before the Fed's September decision and will again stir global asset pricing.
Market logic has shifted; the previous "rate cut expectations" were broken by strong employment and have returned to a rate hike contest. Going forward, market volatility will further increase, and the previous easing trading logic cannot be simply applied. #美联储官员称应加息，9月概率升至58.6% $BTC Brothers, this market situation is really interesting. A few days ago, everyone was complaining that Ethereum was just a bystander in the bull market, getting dominated daily by Solana, but when you look at the data now, the big brother is still the big brother.
According to the latest statistics from BlockBeats and DefiLlama, in the past 24 hours, Ethereum quietly attracted $46.47 million. What does this mean? This net inflow is directly 4.5 times that of Solana! Solana next door must be stunned; it thought it was the hottest in the village, but the funds turned around and returned to the mainnet's embrace.
The worst hit are those L2 (Layer 2) and sidechains. Robinhood Chain led the decline, with an outflow of $21.07 million. Arbitrum, Base, Polygon, and the recently popular Hyperliquid also didn't escape; everyone is losing blood in line, with a combined outflow exceeding $100 million.
1. Previously, everyone went to Layer 2 for mining and speculating on meme coins, draining the mainnet dry. Now, some big players might feel the external waves are too rough and prefer to stay steady on the mainnet, after all, Ethereum is the safety cushion for assets.
2. Solana's net inflow being left so far behind indicates smart money is starting to switch between highs and lows. Funds are flowing from those overheated ecosystems to the relatively bottomed Ethereum mainnet, which is a typical risk-averse plus bottom-fishing logic.
3. So many Meta has started paying creators in 160 countries with USDC; the "distribution" of stablecoins is more important than their "issuance"
Meta has begun paying Facebook creators in Colombia and the Philippines using USDC, utilizing the Stripe+Polygon+Solana network. The plan is to cover over 160 countries by the end of the year.
What does this mean? Instagram+Facebook+WhatsApp have 3.2 billion monthly active users. This is one of the largest stablecoin distribution channels on Earth—and Meta itself does not issue coins or build blockchains, but directly uses existing infrastructure.
What inspiration does this offer to U Card users?
Previously, card selection was based on "which currencies are supported," but now it’s more important to consider "which distribution networks are integrated." A card that can seamlessly receive USDC, quickly convert it to fiat, and withdraw to your bank with the same account name—this value far exceeds an extra 2% cashback.
I have compared many cards on PayAll and found a pattern: truly useful cards often don’t have their advantage in fee schedules, but in the stability of settlement channels and the coverage of distribution networks. Fees can be copied, but channels cannot.The most interesting thing last night wasn't $BTC falling below 80,000, but that the US stock market was also worried about rate hikes, while $SNDK rose 12% against the market trend, and $SPCX dropped from 150.72 down to around 148. Who exactly is trading interest rates, and who is trading their own story in this market?
First, looking at $BTC, after the non-farm payrolls added 162,000 jobs, the probability of a rate hike rose back to about 60%, and the price directly fell below 80,000. It looks a bit stable now around 79,500, but if it can't reclaim 80,000, I still think it's weak. Below, watch out for 79,200 and 78,800 as support levels.
I'm actually a bit worried about $SPCX. After the 147.28 spike on the chart, it did pull back to 148.13, but with low volume, and there are unlocking events on September 9 and 24. Until it retakes 150–151, I prefer to treat this move as a rebound.
The most absurd is $SNDK. With rising rate hike expectations, high-valuation tech stocks should logically struggle, yet it surged about 12% in a single day. The AI storage sector is genuinely being chased now, but with such a rise, I don't dare to chase it.
So now these three assets are moving in completely different ways: BTC fears interest rates, SPCX is still digesting pressure, and SNDK continues to trade AI. Whoever makes the wrong move first, I think next week's CPI release will make it clearer.
#美联储官员称应加息，9月概率升至58.6% # BTC at 79.6k, how will it move before next week's CPI? Four charts are enough for veterans to watch 9/5 Market overview in one sentence Price oscillates around 79,566, with volatility actually smaller than last night — a plunge from 81k to 78,649, then a 2-hour pullback to 79.6k, this is called a "false breakout." To judge its authenticity, no need to guess the second candlestick, just return to several data sources from last night's bulls vs bears battle: liquidation map, ETF flows, whale positions, and post-nonfarm rate probabilities. Today's article uses these four data points to clearly explain why veterans avoid heavy positions before CPI. --- 1. Last night review: Nonfarm triple the expectation, why didn't the market crash? August nonfarm payrolls released +162,000, expected +56,000, more than triple. Textbook logic: strong employment → sticky inflation → Fed won't ease → USD and US bonds strengthen → BTC falls. The market did react — BTC dropped from 81k to 78,649 in 15 minutes. But interestingly, 24 hours later the price returned to 79.6k instead of continuing down. Three data points explain this: 1. 24h total network liquidations $403 million, **not one-sided**, after a brief long squeeze on nonfarm night (over $200 million longs in 15 minutes), it was pushed back to 81.4k and then short squeezed, alternating bulls and bears washout, no one-sided dominance. 2.

SanDisk surged nearly 200 points overnight. Did Nvidia really place an order?
This thing with SanDisk, last night’s move wasn’t just a rally, it was a launch on the spot.
An epic explosive surge.
At first, I also thought Nvidia suddenly started using SanDisk devices, but after digging through the news, I found this wave is a triple overlay:
On September 1, Dell’s earnings call explicitly said AI servers are most lacking in "DRAM, then NAND";
On September 2, Nvidia signed an agreement to acquire Hugging Face, disclosed on September 3;
On the same day, Kioxia also stated it is closely cooperating with Nvidia to develop AI ultra-high-speed SSDs.
But it must be made clear, there is currently no announcement of "Nvidia officially purchasing SanDisk devices."
SanDisk can fly because it has a 25-year partnership with Kioxia, jointly developing and manufacturing NAND, and it is also part of Nvidia’s Storage-Next ecosystem.
I used to only focus on GPUs, but now I finally realize: graphics cards handle computing, but massive data has to be stored somewhere?
So this isn’t a baseless rally, but don’t imagine "participating in the ecosystem" as a "big order landing."
The story soared nearly 200 points overnight; samples, mass production, and real orders need to catch up quickly afterward.
#闪迪收涨逾8%，长期协议受关注
$SAND Mid to long term: The overall direction of institutional and political capital deployment in crypto infrastructure remains unchanged.
Short term: The Federal Reserve's interest rate expectations are the biggest constraint on the market; the uncertainty over a rate hike in September remains unresolved, awaiting CPI guidance;
Sector opportunities:
Storage track: The bullish trend in US storage stocks brings narrative benefits to FIL and AR, but it is essential to verify real on-chain business and not just speculate on concepts;
Public chains: SOL profits from risk appetite, ETH profits from financial accumulation, different market phases reward different assets;
Risks: Theme tokens (FIL, AR, SOL) have higher beta; if the BTC main trend breaks, their correction magnitude will be significantly greater than BTC and ETH.What is "on-chain minting"? This is not Circle (the issuer of USDC) creating money out of thin air, but rather institutions or whales handing over real $250 million in cash to Circle with a request: "I give you the money, you help me generate 250 million USDC tokens on the Solana chain, which I want to use on-chain." So, minting = real external funds are flowing into the crypto world. This is like someone exchanging 250 million chips at a casino and pushing them into the chip room, representing genuine new liquidity. Why do large funds specifically choose to "dive in" on Solana? $250 million is not a small amount; landing this money on the Solana chain indicates three things: On-chain trading and financial demand are booming: Solana is fast and has low fees. Whether whales are doing high-frequency arbitrage, yield farming, or providing liquidity on decentralized exchanges (DEX), a large amount of USDC is needed as the "lifeblood." Institutions prefer "compliant stablecoins + high-performance chains": Compared to USDT, USDC has stronger compliance, making it the first choice for traditional institutions entering the market; meanwhile, Solana has become one of the "highways" with the most frequent interactions between traditional capital and Web3. Preparing ample "ammunition" in advance: This money is most likely a liquidity pool pre-established by market makers (MM), institutional investors, or large projects to handle upcoming trading peaks or new project launches. So we need toNonfarm payrolls exceeded expectations by 3 times, but BTC only dropped 2%?
$BTC
Last night's nonfarm payrolls were somewhat beyond expectations.
The US added 162,000 nonfarm jobs in August, while the market had previously expected only about 53,000–56,000.
That's nearly 3 times the expectation.
More importantly, July's data was revised from a decrease of 23,000 to an increase of 21,000.
In other words, the market's original concern about "rapid deterioration in US employment" did not happen, at least according to this data. The US unemployment rate in August also remained steady at 4.1%.
With such a large expectation gap, BTC surprisingly did not fall sharply.
Before the nonfarm release, BTC once surged to around $82,200.
After the nonfarm release, the lowest point dropped to about $78,600.
If we only look at the first few minutes after the data release, BTC quickly fell from around $81,300 to below $80,000, a drop of about 2%; even calculating from the intraday high to low, the retracement was only a few percentage points.
This is worth pondering.
Because this time it was not "slightly above expectations."
It was:
Nearly 3 times the expected difference.
🟢First possibility: The market actually never fully believed in "no rate hike"
The market never waits until the data is released to start trading.
Before the nonfarm release, funds had already been adjusting positions around the September Federal Reserve decision.
The day before, dovish remarks from Fed officials pushed BTC to break above $80,000 again, and the market's expectation for a September rate hike had clearly decreased.
So BTC reaching around $82,000 already included some of the expectation that:
"The Fed might not raise rates."
Last night’s nonfarm data just pushed this expectation back.
From this perspective, last night’s drop looks more like: a re-pricing.
Not that the market suddenly discovered a huge risk it had never known before.
There is a big difference between these two.
---
🟡Second possibility: Someone is really buying the dip
There is another data point that cannot be ignored.
The day before the nonfarm release, the US spot BTC ETF saw a single-day net inflow of about $730 million, a very significant recent capital inflow.
This means that around $80,000, it’s not just contract funds playing.
There is real spot capital entering.
This might explain why after the first rapid sell-off last night, BTC did not immediately turn into a continuous stampede.
Especially after BTC fell below $80,000, if ETF funds continue to flow in, it’s very worth watching.
Because this means: macro funds are selling, but another group of funds might be buying.
---
🔴Third possibility: The data that truly decides direction hasn’t come yet
This is also the biggest reason I’m currently reluctant to directly call it "all bad news priced in."
Strong nonfarm payrolls prove that: the US economy and employment are not as bad as the market previously imagined.
But what does the Fed really need to solve?
It’s still inflation.
Strong employment means the Fed "has the ability" to continue raising rates.
But whether it is "necessary" to continue raising rates largely depends on upcoming inflation data.
So after last night’s nonfarm data, although the market clearly raised the expectation for a September rate hike, it did not price in a 100% hike. There is still a lot of room for market swings.
That’s the reason.
The market is still waiting for the next card: CPI
If the upcoming CPI cools down significantly, the market can completely reinterpret it as:
Employment is good, but inflation is falling, so the Fed has no need to continue raising rates.
But if the next scenario is: strong nonfarm + high CPI
Then the nature completely changes.
Because this means: the economy can hold, employment can hold,
but inflation has not come down.
Then the Fed’s reason to continue raising rates will be significantly strengthened.
At that time, BTC may face a real second round of macro pressure.

Babies, that needle last night even poked my eyelashes crooked. $BTC is now around $79,700, down 2% in 24h, but still up 2.6% over 7 days and 23% over a month — this isn’t a crash, it’s just a strong rally taking a breather.
There’s only one culprit: August nonfarm payrolls added 162,000 jobs, expected only 56,000, a triple slap in the face, with June and July revised up by 55,000. The probability of a rate hike in September shot up to 68%, and Bitcoin missed stepping on 80,000. But it just surged nearly 25% in August, the strongest August since 2021; why panic over this small pullback? Weekend liquidity is as thin as paper, it just won’t break 78,000.
Easter egg on-chain: RWA total value surged to $38.7 billion, holders skyrocketed 105% in a month to 3.298 million. Bitcoin stays silent, institutions are quietly arbitraging. The real bullet is the Senate’s "Clear Act" vote on September 15.
Second favorite: fell, but still the most resilient of the three
$ETH around $2,455, down 2.5% in 24h, lost 2,500. Don’t rush to cry — yesterday it surged 5% to 2,508, a bullish candle that blasted through 82.41 million shorts.
Up 32.6% in August, 18.5% in July, the strongest kid for 2026. ETFs are crazier: net inflow of $824 million in a single week at the end of August, the strongest week this year, with a total inflow of $13 billion. Now stuck just below 2,560, grinding and making me itchy. Weekly close above 2,550, 2,600 is just paper-thin.
SOL: The lifeline at $100
$SOL around $101.8, down 3% in 24h, the worst performer of the three, still touched 109.57 at the end of August. I’m not worried, its fundamentals are strong:
SGP-0002 passed narrowly with 67%, annual deflation rate doubled from 15% to 30%, 18.9 million fewer tokens issued over six years, 1.5% terminal inflation moved up to 2029. Bitwise’s BSOL became the first altcoin ETF to break $1 billion AUM, with Goldman Sachs as the largest institutional holder. ETF inflows continued for 9 days straight, $154 million last week. Transaction V1 mainnet launched on September 9, all ZK.
$100 holds strong, target 116.88; if it breaks 98.02, I’ll catch you at 90. Don’t run.【#OpenSky 100 Days Foundation Day 68】⚡️

The market's reaction to this figure is: "The digital gold narrative is making a comeback." Bitwise said Bitcoin's 90-day correlation with gold hit a six-year high. Glassnode said Bitcoin's 30-day correlation with the S&P 500 dropped to zero. Scaramucci said Beckent's G20 comment "global debt overflow" was "Bitcoin ad of the year." Everything sounds like a story of structural shift: Bitcoin finally stopped following tech stocks and started following gold. It is becoming the thing it always wanted to be. But I stared at the word "January" in the phrase "new high since January" for a long time. What happened in January? How much did this ratio drop after January? Why did September return to January's level? None of these three questions are answered by any news news. And the answer may be closer to the truth than the catchy story of "digital gold." Replace the subject with "the January high." If the subject is "Bitcoin," the story is "outperforming gold." If the subject is "relevance," the story is "identity shift." But if the subject is the BTC/Gold Ratio that January once touched, then fell back, and is now being tested again, the whole narrative becomes questionable 18.17。 This figure is not a "historic high." It is "the highest since January." There is a gap between these two wordsWhen Bitcoin starts to rise, all those miners who once pivoted to AI suddenly remember that they're mining companies.
Mining group stocks surged 40-67% in August, while CoreWeave only rose about 21%, Nebius 17%. Miners with more exposure to AI and HPC were practically flat or even declined. Just a 23% BTC increase, and the AI pivot story suddenly becomes far less appealing compared to simply holding coins.#HammackBacksHike #BTCGoldRatioHigh #OKXOutcomeLeagueFOMC $BTC to $XAU ratio rises to 18.17, the highest since January this year
Debt concerns are the core driver; investors are no longer debating between gold or BTC, but want both
Bitwise report shows BTC's 90-day correlation with gold has reached a six-year high, while its correlation with Nasdaq has dropped to a one-year low. BTC is shifting from "following Nasdaq" to "following gold"‼️
If the correlation trend with gold continues, BTC's performance over the next fifteen years could be very objective
Although the number 18.17 itself does not indicate a trend reversal, BTC is shifting from "following Nasdaq" to "following gold." If this correlation persists, the path ahead could be completely different from the past fifteen years.
#BTC高位回落，黄金联动受考验
#BTC兑黄金比率升至1月以来高位，强势能否延续？ $BTC to gold ratio rises to highest level since January, can the strength continue?
Recently, the Bitcoin to gold ratio rose to 18.17, reaching a new high since January, meaning 1 BTC can now be exchanged for over 18 ounces of gold. This milestone signifies that BTC has not only risen against the US dollar but has also outperformed the traditional hard asset gold.
Debt concerns drive synchronized strength
The core catalyst for this rise is not simply a rebound in risk appetite but market worries over high debt levels in major economies such as the US. Data shows that except for Switzerland, the debt-to-GDP ratio in major developed economies exceeds 100%. Investors are beginning to allocate both Bitcoin and gold to hedge against potential currency depreciation risks.
The "digital gold" narrative gains data support
Bitwise points out that the 90-day correlation between Bitcoin and gold has climbed to a nearly six-year high, while its correlation with US stocks has dropped to a one-year low. This indicates that Bitcoin is decoupling from tech stock trends and beginning to exhibit characteristics of an "amplified gold." $XAU
Can the strength continue?
Although the strengthening ratio confirms BTC's relative value increase, its high volatility means it may simply be amplifying the same depreciation narrative faster. If macro debt concerns continue to ferment, BTC's "digital gold" pricing cycle may deepen; conversely, if the market returns to risk appetite, the correlation between the two may loosen. #BTC #gold #BTC兑黄金比率升至1月以来高位，强势能否延续？ This looks more like macro repricing than a crypto-specific break. BTC at $79.6K is down 1.36%, with ETH and SOL slightly weaker as August payrolls beat expectations. That keeps policy sensitivity elevated, so I would treat the next rates signal as more important than today's red tape.
Not advice, just analysis.#HammackBacksHike #BTCGoldRatioHigh #OKXOutcomeLeagueFOMC Trading Review Notes｜Two Systems: Emotional Arbitrage vs. Cyclical Main Rise
Combining Mr. Ren's emotional arbitrage approach and Mr. Ma's cyclical judgment approach, integrating A-share market intuition shifted to US stock high-leverage contracts, distinguishing arbitrage markets from main rising markets, using the two models separately without mixing.
1. Mr. Ren: Emotional Low-Position Arbitrage Leverage
Focuses on moments of extreme market emotional release.
Panic emotions hit an extreme low point, betting on a rebound brought by emotional recovery.
Entry points can be chosen near the close, betting on the next day's trading space.
But there is an objective reality here: a low emotional point does not equal a bottom.
After buying, the market can only move in two directions: a direct rebound recovery or continue to probe lower, with prices falling deeper.
This model essentially profits from quick emotional pulses, only capturing the emotional recovery segment; once emotions dissipate, exit immediately, not suitable for large wave trends.
Suitable for short-term arbitrage, not for holding main rising large trends.
2. Mr. Ma: Judging from a Cyclical Perspective
Does not rashly enter the market relying solely on panic emotions.
Even if the market is severely beaten and emotions are full of panic, one must return to the cycle to assess the current position.
If the cycle has not bottomed, pure emotional sell-offs are just pauses in the downtrend; rebounds are mostly the first wave of escape rebounds with poor sustainability.
Only when cyclical signals confirm simultaneously, selling pressure is fully released, and a secondary bottom forms, will a true main rising market emerge.
The main rising market is worth holding to capture larger profit space.
3. Distinguish the Two Models: Arbitrage when appropriate, main rise when appropriate Nonfarm payrolls exceed expectations, September rate hike probability soars to 60%! How will the market move next week?
The nonfarm data was unexpectedly strong, and the market's bet on a Fed rate hike in September has risen to about 60%. The CPI data next Friday (9.11) will be the key test to determine the final policy direction.
But here is a core misconception:
Although the rate hike expectation has already been reflected in recent stock market trends, what we really need to be wary of is not the "rate hike" action itself, but the economic signals behind it.
If the U.S. economy remains resilient and corporate profits continue to grow, then the valuation pressure caused by rising interest rates may not completely reverse the stock market's upward trend. Therefore, even if the rate hike occurs as scheduled in September, it should not be simply equated with the U.S. stock market entering a sustained decline phase.
A more critical variable emerges:
A rare "policy divergence"
Pay attention to a major piece of news that is easily overlooked: next Wednesday (9.9), the U.S. Treasury will launch an expanded version of the Treasury buyback program, with a scale as high as $4 billion!
What does this mean? The Treasury is "supporting" the market, while the Fed is "tightening" liquidity. This rare policy divergence must be viewed together! Bull and Bear Divergence: Who's Buying, Who's Selling?
On the Bull Side: The 90-day correlation between Bitcoin and gold has climbed to its highest since 2020, while its correlation with the S&P 500 has dropped to nearly zero. This indicates the market is treating Bitcoin as "digital gold" for allocation rather than a high-beta tech stock. The $3.5 billion net inflow into ETFs in August is a solid institutional buy. TD Cowen sets a year-end target price at $97,500, while Bernstein is more aggressive, seeing $150,000.
On the Bear Side: September is historically Bitcoin's weakest month, with an average decline of -2.95% since 2013. 68% of supply is in profit, indicating significant potential selling pressure. The $83,000-$86,000 range has a "ceiling" supply of up to 1.05 million long-term held Bitcoins. Fidelity Digital Assets also poured cold water: a rebound does not mean the bear market is over; November could still test new lows. $BTC $ETH $SOL #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 Tonight's non-farm payroll data itself is not particularly impressive, but what truly confuses the market is the White House's optimistic interpretation of this "bad news," even calling again for a rate cut. This stance is seen by outsiders as almost equivalent to the executive branch attempting to directly interfere with the Federal Reserve's independent decision-making, leaving many puzzled.📉
After the data release, the crypto market generally came under pressure, with Bitcoin and most major coins retreating; in contrast, the US stock market remained resilient, showing an independent upward trend, making this divergence quite peculiar. Meanwhile, some small-cap tokens like $SNDK and $SPCX recorded considerable gains, suggesting that capital seems to be searching for new narrative outlets.🧐
What is most worth cautioning about now is not the single data point itself, but the potential amplification of volatility caused by confusing policy signals. If the market interprets this move as a prelude to an economic recession, risk appetite may further contract; conversely, if seen as the beginning of a loosening cycle, capital flows could reverse. At this stage, maintaining observation and controlling positions may be more important than guessing the direction.⚠️

The 2-year U.S. Treasury yield surged to 4.416%, the highest since January 2025. Bitcoin fell below $80,000. All three major U.S. stock indexes closed lower. Everything seems reasonable: the economy is too strong → need to raise rates→ risk assets are under pressure. The chain is clear, the logic is complete. But if you break down the 162,000 figure, you'll see another picture: hourly wages have only risen 3.1% year-on-year, while inflation during the same period was 3.4%. This means that in this "strong enough to raise interest rates" job market, workers' real purchasing power is declining. The 162,000 new jobs have made the average wage of Americans lagging behind prices. A "strong" job market is making those in it poorer. And the market's reaction is to bet on rate hikes. This is the most unusual part of this news. Replace the subject with "that 3.1% hourly wage" If the subject is "non-farm payrolls," the story is "strong economy." If the subject is "rate hike probability," the story is "liquidity tightening." But if the subject is the hourly wage data completely overshadowed by the 162,000 yuan — a 3.1% year-on-year increase below 3.4% inflation, the entire narrative falls apart. What does a 3.1% year-on-year hourly wage indicate? It shows companies are willing to hire people at lower real wages. It shows that the price of "full employment" is workers losing their bargaining power. This shows that this "so strong it frightens the market" labor market is essentially expanding in quantity#TSLA无人出租车发布不及预期，股价跌近6%
$TSLA As of the close on September 4, Tesla's stock fell 5.92%, with a single-day market value evaporation of about $88 billion (approximately RMB 591 billion). During the session, it once dropped more than 6.2%, with market value declining from $1.49 trillion to about $1.39 trillion.
Tesla held the Cybercab driverless taxi launch event in Austin, Texas. This event was by invitation only, with no public live broadcast, and Tesla's official website did not release any related press releases. CEO Elon Musk himself did not appear. Musk only posted a pre-recorded video on the social platform X.
This sharply contrasts with Tesla's previous highly dramatic and theatrical product launches. Wall Street Journal columnist Tim Higgins bluntly stated that this move did not meet Musk's promised "robotaxi storm." Musk had claimed "Cybercab storm" on social media just hours before the event, creating a strong contrast with the low-key release.
The stock price decline results from a combination of sparse information from the launch, surprise regulatory scrutiny, and exposure of operational issues. Tesla's long-term narrative—growth through autonomous driving and Robotaxi business—has not fundamentally changed, but short-term uncertainty has significantly increased. Whether Tesla can reverse market sentiment through subsequent actions as before remains to be seen.#美联储官员称应加息，9月概率升至58.6% #Robinhood链上收入创高，资金却转为净流出
Robinhood Chain is experiencing a very contradictory market phenomenon: on-chain fee revenue has surged significantly, yet capital has turned into a net outflow.
Deutsche Bank analysts have raised the target price for Robinhood from $115 to $136, maintaining a buy rating. The core logic is that Robinhood Chain's fee revenue growth has exceeded expectations, and traditional institutions have begun incorporating the earnings of this public chain into HOOD's valuation framework.
On-chain revenue data is very impressive: DeFiLlama data shows that mid-August daily on-chain revenue was less than $200,000, but on September 2 it surged directly to $4.01 million. Deutsche Bank estimates that annualized revenue could exceed $100 million.
However, risk signals have appeared simultaneously. On September 4, Ethereum saw a net capital inflow of $46.47 million, while Robinhood Chain experienced a net outflow of $21.07 million, making it the public chain with the highest capital outflow that day. The on-chain Meme coin hype has rapidly cooled, with MEME's market cap shrinking from $150 million to $40 million, and HOOD's stock price falling 2.09% accordingly.
The market's core question now is: can the explosive high on-chain revenue be converted into long-term stable cash flow, or is it merely a short-term bonus brought by Meme speculation?#BTC兑黄金比率升至1月以来高位，强势能否延续？
The BTC to gold ratio has surged to its highest level since January. Can this strength continue?
The BTC to gold ratio has hit a new high for the year. Can this wave of strength hold?
Since BTC surpassed 80,000, I have been closely watching the comparison data between BTC and gold. Currently, 1 BTC can be exchanged for 18.17 ounces of gold, the highest level since January this year.
Interestingly, the 90-day correlation between the two has also reached its highest point since 2020, indicating that the market is concerned about declining currency purchasing power and expanding debt, which is driving both gold and Bitcoin upward.
However, there have been changes on the funding side. In August, the US BTC ETF saw a net inflow overall, but entering early September, funds began to fluctuate back and forth, and institutions have not been continuously pushing in.
Opinions among experts are completely polarized; some continue to be optimistic about the bull market for scarce assets, while Jiang Zhuoer has already fully reduced his position near $82,050.
Whether BTC can continue to outperform gold depends on whether the selling pressure above the $80,000‑82,500 range can be absorbed. There is heavy selling pressure at this level, and if spot buying cannot keep up, a correction could easily occur.
Right now, there are solid reasons for both bullish and bearish views, so it’s unwise to blindly chase the highs. What do you think? Can BTC’s relative strength against gold continue? $ZEC Trust me, today's strategy will satisfy you. Don't forget to come back and thank me if you make a profit!
Position direction: Light long position.
Entry: 1025.5-1026
Take profit: 1040.00 - 1047.11
Position basis: Closing firmly above 1026 means completely freeing all trapped positions from the early session on September 5th. The upper vacuum zone reaches directly to 1047. This strategy space is only 2%, and weekend continuity is poor, so you must enter and exit quickly. Take partial profits at 1040, and don't be greedy to reach 1047. #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
