The latest U.S. employment data exceeded some market expectations, with about 168K new jobs added and the unemployment rate holding steady at 4.2%. The strong employment performance reignited market discussions about the Fed's policy path and put some short-term pressure on $BTC and $ETH. But it's important to note: a single employment report rarely determines the overall market trend. Next week, the market will see a series of heavyweight macro data, including PPI and CPI, followed by the Federal Reserve's policy meeting. The combination of employment, inflation, and interest rate expectations is likely to become a key catalyst for the next phase of the crypto market. 📉 If inflation remains elevated and U.S. Treasury yields strengthen further: $BTC → focus on $79.2K $ETH → focus on $2,450–$2,420. If these areas are effectively breached, it would mean selling pressure may be strengthening further and the market correction level could expand. 📈 But if CPI falls short of expectations and the market re-bets on future rate cuts, today's decline may just be a short-term "shakeout." Therefore, I am not entirely bearish at present. My judgment leans more toward this: early next week, → volatility intensifies and prices come under pressure. After the CPI release→ the market may choose a clearer direction, focusing on whether key support is breached. As long as BTC can hold near $79K and ETH stays above $2.4K, I prefer to define this round of rally as a normal correction after an upward trend, rather than confirming a bear market phase. 🔥 The real value is nextNonfarm payrolls surge, US stocks diverge: Is it genuine industrial buying or major players "pumping and dumping"?
Last night, US August nonfarm payrolls increased by 162,000, far exceeding the expected 56,000, with the previous figure revised up to 21,000. Traditionally, strong employment would trigger fears of rate hikes, putting pressure on the stock market. However, US stocks showed a "fire and ice" scenario: the three major indices slightly declined (Nasdaq down only 0.29%), while AI hardware and storage sectors surged against the trend, with the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index rising over 3%.
Is this truly genuine industrial buying, or a "pump and dump" by big capital?
On one hand, there is solid industrial logic behind this. The better-than-expected nonfarm data directly disproves recession fears, implying that AI giants' capital expenditures will not sharply decrease. As computing power bottlenecks shift toward storage and optical communications, funds are withdrawing from the "software stories" suppressed by high interest rates and flocking into the "hardware performance" track with real orders. For example, SanDisk surged nearly 12%, SK Hynix rose over 8%, and Micron Technology increased more than 6%.
On the other hand, the capital market game is equally ruthless. Facing macroeconomic headwinds, big capital uses market faith in the AI industry chain to concentrate buying in hardware leaders to stabilize the front, effectively creating the illusion that "tech stocks remain strong." Under this cover, major players can smoothly distribute overvalued software stocks. Last night, Tesla plummeted nearly 6%, Apple fell 2.51%, reflecting capital's "rotation between high and low" and risk-hedging adjustments amid rising rate expectations. On Saturday morning, I glanced at the market and almost laughed—this week the crypto world felt like being led by the nose by the Federal Reserve. On Thursday night, Waller went on a dovish stance, BTC surged to 81,000, ETH hit 2,510, and the group was buzzing with 'bull recovery, quick return.' But on Friday, the US August nonfarm payroll came out, adding 162,000 (expected only 55,000), and the market instantly changed the script: the probability of a rate hike in September jumped from 50% back to around 58%, the 10-year Treasury yield peaked at 4.78%, Bitcoin plunged back below 79,000, ETH retreated to around 2,440, and the previous day's gains were wiped out by more than half. But do you call this a crash? Not really. BTC is grinding back and forth between 78,000 and 82,000, ETH hovering around 2400, SOL struggling around the 100-dollar mark—overall, it's a "macro data market"—everyone fears chasing highs, and no one is willing to truly cut losses. CoinShares' statement is quite vivid: BTC's trading behavior over the past two weeks has become increasingly gold-like; everyone is betting on US debt confidence and fiscal sustainability, not on crypto itself. The altcoins are even more interesting: ZEC privacy coins suddenly surged to around $970–1000, MARSCOIN surged 61% in one day but was clearly thin volume control, USDT showed a 95% sell-down ratio on Coinbase—on days like this, the more the meme coins jump, the more it shows the main funds are watching and waiting. Institutions are not all bad news: OCC initially released a1Suddenly I understand that the 21 banks issuing stablecoins are not here to compete with USDT
Goldman Sachs, Citibank, Bank of America, UBS, Deutsche Bank, Mitsubishi UFJ, and 21 institutions joined forces on September 1st, planning to establish a joint venture in the second half of 2026, launching a US dollar stablecoin in the first half of 2027, then targeting the euro and other G7 currencies. They explicitly say they are benchmarking against the GENIUS Act and MiCA, focusing on cross-border payments and institutional settlement.
Notably, JPMorgan Chase is absent from the list. Their own JPM Coin is already running smoothly on their internal clearing network, and they are unwilling to share the pie with the alliance. Société Générale’s compliant stablecoin USDCV has been circulating for nearly a year with a volume of only about $12.6 million. When the news from Circle came out, their stock price dropped about 6%.
It suddenly dawned on me: Wall Street wants a compliant clearing layer and deposit inflows, not to compete with USDT or USDC in DeFi trading pair depth. Bank-issued coins are more like inter-institutional settlement notes, while native coins are the real circulating blood on-chain. These two tracks will coexist for a long time.
Don’t take the joint announcement as a signal that USDT is about to collapse. What really matters is who the issuer is, how the reserves are held, which public chain it runs on, and whether it can enter the main trading pairs on exchanges when it officially launches in 2027. There are already precedents of big noise but little action. Let’s first watch $BTC. #21家金融机构拟推美元稳定币 Rules need to be implemented before talking about disruption.#BTC兑黄金比率升至1月以来高位，强势能否延续？
The BTC/gold ratio has reached 18.17, hitting the highest point since January this year, indicating that currently funds prefer $BTC, outperforming physical gold. Both are rising simultaneously, driven mainly by market concerns over debt devaluation, with the digital gold narrative once again attracting capital.
However, it is important to recognize that a rising ratio does not mean a one-sided, mindless rally. If macro risks escalate sharply, funds will flee back to gold for safety, causing the ratio to quickly fall.
BTC is currently driven by macro sentiment; it depends on whether spot ETFs can sustain net inflows. Purely sentiment-driven rallies are prone to sharp pullbacks. ETH and $SOL are rebounding in tandem with the market, but incremental funds are not abundant.
The ratio is a relative strength indicator, not a direct buy signal. Do not blindly chase just because the data hits new highs. Focus on macro variables like US Treasury bonds and Federal Reserve speeches.
This is only a personal market record and does not constitute any investment advice.Last night's nonfarm payroll was somewhat unexpected for the market. U.S. nonfarm payrolls added 162,000 in August, significantly exceeding the market's previous expectation of over 50,000, and the June and July employment data were revised upward. The unemployment rate remained at 4.1%, indicating that the U.S. job market is not as bad as people had imagined. This put the market in an awkward position. Many funds had already started betting on the Fed's rate cut in September, but then nonfarms suddenly hit the market with a "counterattack." Why is this data so important? Simply put: the U.S. economy hasn't softened enough to have to cut rates to save the situation. A resilient job market means household income and consumption are still supported for now, so the Fed is naturally not in a rush to cut rates. What's more troublesome is that wages rose 3.1% year-on-year, slightly lower than July's 3.2%, but still shows the labor market hasn't completely cooled down. So now the market is re-discussing a question: will the Fed cut rates in September, or will it keep holding steady or even consider raising rates? After the non-farm payroll release, US Treasury yields rose, the dollar strengthened, gold came under pressure, and market expectations for a rate hike in September clearly increased. Reuters data shows the market once priced the probability of a rate hike in September at nearly 60%. But for the crypto world, this is not particularly pleasant news. Because what BTC needs most right now, simply put, is liquidity. The stronger the rate cut expectations, the lower the cost of funding for the dollar, and the easier it is for market risk appetite to rise, making highly volatile assets like BTC and ETH more likely to benefit.$ETH Ethereum Real-Time Market

#14U Zero-Threshold Crypto Market Real Trading Perspective | Macro Overhang, Capital Clustering in Local Hotspots
Recently, the crypto market has been very fragmented: the overall market is sideways and volatile, while the AI sector has developed an independent trend. The root cause lies in macro uncertainty.
At the Jackson Hole Symposium, the Federal Reserve released a hawkish signal; inflation has fallen less than expected, and the probability of a rate hike at the September meeting has risen steadily. U.S. Treasury yields remain high, suppressing valuations of all risk assets. BTC surged 25% in August, breaking above 80,000. Just as everyone expected the trend to continue, rate hike expectations intensified, causing BTC to oscillate around the 80,000 mark with mixed bullish and bearish forces, washing out a large number of high-leverage traders.
Geopolitically, crude oil prices have risen, risk-off sentiment fluctuates, and large funds dare not bet unilaterally on mainstream coins, so they choose to cluster around niche narratives. AI + crypto (DeFAI) has recently been continuously catalyzed by news; the heat around AI agents and decentralized computing power keeps fermenting. AI tokens like GRASS, ENJ, RENDER, and FET have shown alternating movements, creating local trends diverging from the overall market.
The current market is not a full bull market but a rotation of hotspots within existing capital:
There is not enough liquidity to support all coins; funds have flowed out partially from BTC and ETH to chase small sectors with stories. The heat comes fast and fades fast.
My 14U real trading just happened to hit the harsh truth of this market cycle: Good morning Air Force brothers, the non-farm payroll data came out last night, and the probability of a rate hike has significantly increased.
Logically, the market should have fallen, but last night the US stock market still surged, while BTC and others fell. What does this mean?
Honestly, as someone who is short, I am a bit confused.
In August, non-farm payrolls increased by 162,000, while the market expected only 56,000, nearly three times the expectation, and the unemployment rate remained at 4.1%. After the data was released, the probability of a rate hike in September clearly rose, and the market suddenly started worrying about tightening liquidity.
But the strange thing is, although the US stock market ultimately closed slightly lower, with the Dow down 0.51%, the S&P down 0.38%, and the Nasdaq down 0.29%, some tech and AI stocks on the board remained very strong, completely lacking the panic sell-off I expected.
On the contrary, BTC was more direct, quickly falling below $80,000 after the non-farm announcement, reaching as low as around $79,200 at one point.
So my biggest question now is: with rate hike expectations already heating up again, why is the market still so resilient?
My view remains bearish. It may just be the market holding on hard now; the real test is still ahead. If next week's CPI and PPI continue to exceed expectations, I don't believe these high-valuation assets can hold up much longer.
#8月非农16.2万远超预期，加息押注升温 There’s a side of trading that rarely gets discussed: the psychological cost of being wrong for a long time.
$SOL going from $280 to $103 was not just a drawdown on a portfolio.
It was months of asking myself whether I was making the right decision by continuing to hold.
The advantage of spot was that I wasn't facing liquidation. I could step away, sell, or wait. I chose to wait.
But before that, I made almost every timing mistake possible.
When $SOL was moving from $180 toward $240 and the market was filled with $300–$350 predictions, I kept shorting.
The trend kept going higher.
Every short became another lesson.
Eventually, around $243, I was nearly out of capital. I switched direction around $248 and went long.
That was the moment I realized something uncomfortable:
Sometimes the problem isn't the asset.
It's your ability to recognize when your thesis is no longer working.
I later experienced something similar with $ETH around $4,700.
Looking back, I don't regret every decision because mistakes are part of trading. What I regret is refusing to adapt quickly enough.
The market doesn't care how confident you are.
It doesn't care how much research you've done.
And it definitely doesn't care about your entry price.
$SOL may return to $280 someday, or it may take much longer than expected.
Either way, the real value of this position is the lesson.
Don't let stubbornness turn a trading idea into an emotional attachment.
Protect capital. Respect the trend. Accept being wrong early.
Risk warning: Crypto remains highly volatile. This is personal experience, not financial advice.
$SOL $ETHAfter the US nonfarm payroll data came out yesterday, $BTC ultimately still couldn't hold above $80,000.
August nonfarm payrolls increased by 162,000, significantly higher than the market expectation of 56,000, with the unemployment rate steady at 4.1%.
The employment data was much stronger than expected, reigniting market expectations for a rate hike in September, and BTC quickly fell back below $80,000.
Earlier, BTC had just reclaimed $80,000, and what I was most focused on was whether this level could truly turn from resistance into support.
Now it seems the first attempt was unsuccessful.
However, I won't immediately turn bearish just because it fell below $80,000 this time.
I am more inclined to believe that $80,000 has now returned to a battleground between bulls and bears, rather than being a confirmed support level.
The short-term strength of the previous breakout needs to be discounted first.
Looking ahead, the focus remains on $80,000.
If BTC can quickly reclaim this level, it indicates that the selling pressure brought by the nonfarm data might still be digestible by the market.
Below, watch for support around $78,000–$79,000.
If $80,000 is not recovered soon and the downside continues to weaken, then the previous rebound cannot be viewed with the same strength as before.
So my current judgment is simple:
Falling below $80,000 is not yet a signal to turn bearish, but $80,000 can no longer be considered a firmly established support.
Whether it can be reclaimed will be more important than the drop itself yesterday.
#8月非农16.2万远超预期，加息押注升温 What does it mean that many exchanges have delisted and suspended CORE deposits?
1. Why do exchanges suspend deposits and withdrawals and execute delisting?
The primary responsibility of centralized exchanges is to protect platform users, with a set of strict evaluation criteria: underlying public chain consensus, token issuance mechanism, network stability, and risk disclosure transparency are all core assessment items.
1. The underlying protocol repeatedly experiences mainnet-level risks, triggering the highest level of risk control alerts.
CORE has repeatedly encountered consensus reward logic vulnerabilities, resulting in validator over-mining and token over-issuance risks, which are fundamental incidents directly impacting the token supply rules.
Exchanges fear losing control over token issuance rules the most; once abnormal token issuance occurs, it directly disrupts the asset value of holders. When such incidents happen, the first action is to suspend deposits and withdrawals to prevent node forks and abnormal token deposits entering the platform, which could cause disputes over platform and user assets.
2. It is not just a one-time incident but repeated occurrences of similar problems.
For a single vulnerability, the project urgently hard forks to fix it, and exchanges generally observe before resuming services.
However, CORE has repeatedly exposed mainnet vulnerabilities that should have been intercepted on the testnet. In the exchange’s evaluation system, this indicates structural shortcomings in the project’s testing, auditing, and risk control processes—not just occasional bugs but a possibility of future incidents. I'm leaning towards shorting this wave of $BTC on the rebound; if it can't hold above 80k, I'll treat it as weak first. Last night, US non-farm payrolls increased by 162,000, while the expectation was only 53,000. Once the data came out, BTC dropped about 2.5% in an hour, falling from around 81.3k down to 79.1k. Employment is too strong, so the market naturally worries that the Fed won't be in a hurry to cut rates. Then a hawkish figure posted urging the Fed to cut rates and even threatened to sThe logic behind why Bitcoin suddenly surged this round isn't that complicated.
First, the market's expectations for a Fed rate hike in September have started to cool down.
Fed Governor Waller recently took a dovish stance, indicating that if subsequent inflation data continues to ease, he prefers to keep interest rates unchanged.
The market's previous concerns about further tightening have begun to ease, causing the dollar and U.S. Treasury yields to fall back, naturally giving risk assets some breathing room.
Second, a significant number of short positions had accumulated during the prior decline.
So this rally isn't entirely driven by new funds; once the price quickly breaks through key levels, short stop-losses and forced liquidations turn into buying pressure, further pushing the market upward.
A large amount of short liquidation has already occurred during this rally.U.S. nonfarm payrolls in August increased by 162K, far exceeding the market expectation of about 56K, with the unemployment rate holding steady at 4.1%. Meanwhile, average hourly earnings rose 3.1% year-on-year, indicating that the job market remains resilient. This data has reignited expectations for a Fed rate hike in September, strengthening the dollar and Treasury yields, putting short-term pressure on $BTC and $ETH. The market's probability of betting on a rate hike in September has now rebounded to about 60%, but that does not mean the decline will continue next week. The real test is yet to come. 📅 Key Focus for Next Week: • September 10: U.S. PPI • September 11: U.S. CPI • September 15–16: FOMC Interest Rate Decision and Policy Guidance If inflation remains stubborn and yields keep rising, risk assets may come under further pressure. My short-term watch range: 🔹 $BTC: Focus on $79.2K, may test $77.5K 🔹 if breached; $ETH: Watch $2,450; if it falls below it, the next target is $2,380. But if CPI cools significantly, the market may resume trading rate cut expectations, and today's decline could be quickly corrected. My current outlook: The first half of next week may continue to fluctuate weakly, with volatility possibly significantly amplified. What will truly determine the next round may not be the NFP, but whether the CPI can provide enough cooling signals. In my opinion, $79.2#NonfarmColdWater #ExpectationAdjustment
**1️⃣ Opening Tone**
The nonfarm payrolls hit like a sucker punch, pushing BTC down from above 81,000 to 79,500 — I judge this as a typical "expectations fully priced then reality correction" weak pullback. The market just bet on a perfect Fed rate cut in September, but the data gave a sharp slap: You want to ease? First, take a dip.
---
**2️⃣ Core Logic Chain**
Today I’ll focus on one thing: **The nonfarm employment data killed the short-term premium on the "dovish narrative."**
What was the market originally betting on? BTC surged to 82,200 before the nonfarm report, pricing in "US economic cooling → Fed rate cut in September → liquidity easing → risk assets take off." In August, US BTC ETF net inflows hit $3.5 billion, a yearly high; short covering plus spot buying kept the price welded above 80,000. Funding rates instantly turned positive, long-short ratio maxed out — pure FOMO.
Then the nonfarm data dropped. The data wasn’t that bad — employment didn’t collapse, wages weren’t soft enough to make the Fed immediately yield. The market reacted honestly: BTC plunged from 82,200 straight down to 78,600, with a daily swing over $3,600. **Dovish expectations were discounted, BTC retreated from "rate cut priced in" back to "rate cut pending confirmation."** Funds aren’t fleeing, they’re repricing: before the September 15 FOMC, no one dares to bet all chips on longs. The September 11 CPI is the next real pricing anchor; before that, the premium above 80,000 is a castle in the air.
---
**3️⃣ Mainstream Coin Stratification**
- **BTC**: Down 1.83% in 24h, closing near 79,500, daily low 78,600. The 81,000-82,500 range is a welded iron ceiling; 78,600 is today’s floor. HashWhale weekly report shows whales took profits of nearly $4 billion last week, the largest since February 2025 — strong hands are selling to weak hands. A giant whale dormant for 8 years deposited 400 BTC to OKX, made $30 million and ran. Don’t chase short-term, wait for CPI.
- **ETH**: Down 1.97% in 24h, closing at 2,455, weaker than BTC. ETH ETFs are seeing outflows, gas activity lacks highlights, 2,500 is resistance. ETH/BTC ratio continues weakening; this rebound is BTC dragging ETH, not ETH standing on its own. Avoid.
- **SOL**: Down 2.9% in 24h, closing at 101.6, biggest drop. High volatility means high risk — it falls more when it falls. The 100 round number is a psychological floor; if broken, look toward 90. Short-term trading possible, no overnight holds.
---
**4️⃣ Sector Quick Review**
**Strong:** ZEC (+14.5%, broke $1,000, driven by institutional entry + short liquidations); HYPE (+3.8%, new star in perpetual contracts, funds betting on high Beta volatility); stablecoin total market cap hits new high at 283.7 billion, DeFi TVL rises to 76.5 billion with 24h volume +4.18% — funds haven’t left, just hiding in safe harbors.
**Weak:** XRP (-3.9%, biggest drop, narrative fading and funds withdrawing); SOL ecosystem tokens down 3%+; Meme sector volume shrinks with steady decline, DOGE lacks support.
Funds’ intent in one sentence: **No attack, no escape, shrinking into stablecoins and mainstream coins to bunker down.** Typical weekend low volume risk-off mode, not bottom fishing, just waiting for signals.
---
**5️⃣ Liquidations and Funding**
24h total liquidations about $700 million, a 43.55% surge from the previous day, longs account for 60% — the nonfarm spike specifically killed leveraged long positions. Overall long-short ratio 50.2:49.8, almost even; longs haven’t given up but dare not add. BTC funding rate 0.0065-0.009%, slightly positive but far from extreme, leverage sentiment is neutral. Total contract open interest $141.65 billion (+2.5%), open interest rising not falling, indicating leverage positions remain and could be cleaned out again anytime.
Whale activity signals red: exchange whale ratio 0.99 (near full score), large BTC inflows to exchanges continue — this is on-chain fingerprint of short-term selling pressure. Sentiment judgment: **Neutral leaning panic, long leverage has been taught a lesson but far from extreme panic bottom signal.**
---
**6️⃣ Tomorrow’s Trading Tips**
① **Positioning:** Reduce and observe. Weekend liquidity thin, nonfarm aftershocks not gone, CPI lands September 11, no adding before then.
② **Leverage advice:** Low leverage or no position. Weekend spikes likely, high leverage equals handing money to market makers.
③ **Key levels:** BTC support 78,600 (today’s low), break targets 73,700-75,200; resistance 81,000-82,500. ETH support 2,430, break target 2,400; resistance 2,530-2,546.
④ **Key events:** US CPI data September 11 (this week’s real pricing anchor); September 15 FOMC meeting; keep monitoring whale deposits to exchanges for acceleration.
⑤ **Core risk:** September is the "curse month" with 8 declines in 13 years for crypto, combined with whale $4 billion profit-taking wave and weekend thin liquidity — if CPI surprises again, 78,600 won’t hold, below is a vacuum zone.
⑥ The market isn’t betting on whether rates cut or not, but **who blinks first** — Powell or you. Don’t gamble before he blinks.

Previously, participating in Flash Earn Stake to Earn mainly deducted funds from the funding account or trading account; now, if Simple Earn Flexible is selected, the system will deduct funds in the order of "funding account > trading account > Simple Earn Flexible," and if insufficient, it will automatically redeem from the flexible savings to make up the difference. This is very convenient for existing users but can easily be overlooked. You might think you are just clicking I saw some early signals, but I'm not in a hurry to announce an Altseason yet. My watchlist: $ETH → Core focus on $SOL $XRP → growth opportunities $HYPE $OKB → Offensive positions A large bullish candlestick is not enough to prove the trend has reversed. What truly matters is whether capital continues to flow in, whether relative strength holds, and whether upward momentum can continue. Recent ETF data has indeed diverged: on September 1, BTC spot ETFs had a net outflow of about $236 million, while ETH, SOL, and XRP-related ETFs combined saw net inflows of about $26.26 million. But on September 2, BTC ETFs recorded another net inflow of about $101 million, while ETH, SOL, and XRP ETFs turned into net outflows. This is more like funds testing across different assets rather than the fully confirmed altcoin season. My criteria are simple: • BTC → Observe dominance and capital stability • ETH → See if it can sustain capital • SOL / XRP → See if relative strength can sustain • HYPE / OKB → Focus on momentum but control risk I don't want to change my strategy immediately just because a coin suddenly rises. First look at the flow of funds, then the price performance, and finally decide whether to increase positions. The market will tell us where capital is going. Don't be swayed by noise; follow the capital, not the sentiment. 📈 #BTC #Inflation still damn above 3%?
The Fed insiders say they want to raise rates
Not cut rates
Raise rates
That manufacturing company in Ohio
Costs are rising double digits
The boss is begging the FOMC not to be soft
I've been watching this signal for a long time
Right now monetary policy isn't restricting the economy at all
Yet the market is still pricing in rate cuts
Isn't that just fooling ourselves?
The longer inflation drags on
The harder it will be to fix later
The dollar's purchasing power keeps shrinking
BTC as a hard asset actually has a floor
I don't believe rate cuts can come easily now
I believe inflation will stick around
$BTC Where will it go
Let's see if tonight's data gives us an answer
Do you still think rate cuts are coming soon?
#8月非农16.2万远超预期，加息押注升温 #BTC兑黄金比率升至1月以来高位，强势能否延续？ Strong non-farm payrolls are just the beginning; CPI is the real market switch
US non-farm payrolls increased by 162,000, exceeding market expectations, with the unemployment rate holding at 4.1%. Strong employment data has pushed up market bets on a September rate hike, putting clear downward pressure on risk assets like BTC and ETH.
However, it is not enough to conclude a continued market decline next week based solely on non-farm data; bigger tests lie ahead. Upcoming PPI and CPI inflation data will clearly show the true inflation trend, followed by the FOMC meeting decision and Powell's guidance. A series of events will dominate the market's subsequent rhythm.
If inflation remains high and US Treasury yields continue to rise, BTC could retest $78,600, while ETH might fall back to $2,428, further probing the $2,400 level. Conversely, if CPI data cools significantly, rate cut expectations may return, potentially reversing the decline caused by the non-farm report.
Overall, the market is likely to remain weak in the first half of next week with high volatility. CPI data will act as the catalyst for triggering a new major market move.
$BTC $ETH $ZEC
$78,600 for BTC and $2,400 for ETH are two critical defensive lines. Once these key levels are effectively broken, the bearish structure of the market will be further confirmed, strengthening the downtrend. Trading should focus closely on the gains or losses of these two support points.

#OKX预言家：9月FOMC利率决议预测上线 Review Summary: The previous judgment was overall accurate—direction, lower support, and previous high resistance were all correct. The only deviation was that the rebound once surged to $2,547 (instead of being blocked at $2,468), due to underestimating the support for risk appetite from the counter-trend strength of AI hardware and the bottoming effect of ETF buying.The US August non-farm payrolls poured cold water on the market.
New non-farm jobs added were 162,000, while the expectation was only 56,000.
The unemployment rate was 4.1%, in line with expectations.
More importantly, the previous value was revised up from -23,000 to 21,000.
This data at least indicates that the US job market is not as bad as imagined.
For the Federal Reserve, the more resilient employment is, the less urgent the need to shift policy toward easing.
So after the data came out, the market resumed trading on September rate hike expectations, and US Treasury yields also rose accordingly.
BTC surged to $82,000 and then quickly fell back, which is understandable.
What really needs caution now is not the non-farm payrolls themselves, but the combination of strong employment and still high inflation.
If subsequent inflation data also do not cooperate, the market's pricing of rate hikes may continue to fluctuate.
What the market fears most is never a bad data point, but a sudden change in market expectations.

#8月非农16.2万远超预期，加息押注升温 Currently, the market shows a very representative divergence: SanDisk is experiencing a strong catch-up rally, while mainstream cryptocurrencies like BTC and ETH are stuck in sideways consolidation, neither rising nor falling.
Many people wonder: Is it that large funds are collectively withdrawing from crypto and all running to trade US storage stocks? To understand this scene, one must distinguish between long-term allocation funds and short-term speculative hot money, as their behaviors are completely different.
The underlying logic behind SanDisk's rise comes from AI storage industry orders and has no direct relation to crypto mining. However, a large number of the same short-term traders participate simultaneously in both US stocks and crypto contracts, causing liquidity to be competed for between the two markets.
Breaking down the real capital flow
1. It’s not large-scale exit of long-term funds, but rotation of short-term hot money
Overall global risk asset liquidity has not expanded significantly. The money is limited; whichever side has stronger short-term profit potential, hot money flows there.
With the profit effect in the SanDisk sector exploding, some short-term players cash out floating profits from the crypto market and enter US stocks to speculate on storage stocks; when US stocks peak and profits are taken, this portion of funds flows back to crypto to speculate on rebounds. This is capital jumping back and forth, not a permanent relocation.
Institutional funds with long-term BTC allocations will not massively sell spot holdings just because a US stock surges. The real cause of market divergence and volatility is speculative capital chasing short-term gains.
2. Direct consequence of crypto sideways: liquidity is diverted
Mainstream coins are stuck in a range with no clear direction and weak profit potential, reducing their attraction to short-term hot money.
After funds divert outward, the crypto market will show: rebounds with strength but difficulty producing sustained large green candles; altcoins diverge more, with most lacking incremental liquidity and only passively following BTC’s fluctuations.
3. Note: rotation is phase-based, not permanent decoupling
Rotation depends on the premise that global risk appetite remains high.
Once US Treasury yields rise and risk appetite collectively weakens, US AI storage stocks and crypto assets will both come under pressure; no single market can remain unaffected.
Mapping to the market, how should we trade?
Don’t simply and linearly deduce: SanDisk up = crypto must fall.
US stock sector trends can only serve as sentiment references and should not be directly used as a basis for crypto trades. The trading focus should return to the crypto market itself: key resistance and support, volume, and ETF capital flows.
During sideways phases, do not subjectively bet on which side funds will flow.
Reduce opening positions in the middle, strictly control leverage, and wait for volume breakout or effective breakdown before following the trend.
When the market is unclear, holding cash is also an effective position.
Do you think hot money will continue to stay in US storage stocks or flow back to the crypto market? @小二哥哥68 This livestream started with a sharp drop following the nonfarm payroll data. Faced with rapidly volatile $ETH, his initial judgment was actually quite restrained: short-term trading is neither suitable for immediate short buying nor direct bottom-fishing; at the very least, wait until around the US market opens and when signs of market stability appear before making judgments. This premise is reasonable — the first phase of volatility after macro data releases often simultaneously amplifies liquidity gaps and sentiment orders, and a single sharp drop or rally alone cannot confirm direction. But subsequent execution did not follow this premise. He once discussed segmented addition on Ethereum short positions, mentioning higher levels like 2500, 2600, and 2700, while clearly stating no stop-loss and treating the liquidation price rather than predefined expiration conditions as the position's safety boundary. Later, he tried short-term bottom-fishing and quick profit-taking during the decline, and the livestream discussions repeatedly switched between "keep shorting," "run first," "add more," and "don't open trades." These on-the-spot expressions lacked consistent direction, entry, stop-loss, and exit closed loops, so they cannot be considered replicable Ethereum trading plans. SanDisk, a US stock stock, is another main theme. He once preferred to look for short opportunities near 1680 after a rebound, and mentioned that 1700, 1730, and even 1800 might be pressure or risk zones for bears; But in practice, the terms of short entry, adding positions, stop-losses, continuing holding, and reverse going long keep changing. After the price reached higher levels, he also admitted that position size and sentiment had influenced his judgment. What really needs to be learned here is notTonight's non-farm payroll data is essentially the final piece of the puzzle setting the tone for the September interest rate decision. Saying it will determine whether $BTC can hold above 80,000 is no exaggeration.
Currently, the market is stuck at the 81,000 level, pulled back and forth by expectations of rate cuts and recession fears. Last night's rebound was mainly driven by Waller's somewhat dovish statement that "August inflation determines rate hikes," which pushed down US Treasury yields and gave Bitcoin some breathing room.
Let's consider three possible scenarios for tonight:
First, if employment data significantly exceeds expectations (e.g., new jobs exceed 100,000), US Treasury yields will immediately rebound, the market will reprice the risk of rate hikes, and the 80,000 level will likely not hold, leading to a quick pullback.
Second, if the data mildly weakens, hovering around or slightly below expectations, this is the ideal scenario—employment cools slowly, the economy doesn't collapse, rate cut expectations are further solidified, and BTC has a chance to turn 80,000 from a resistance level into support, leading to a slow, steady upward trend.
Third, if the data collapses (e.g., zero growth or even negative), market sentiment will shift directly to a "recession trade," with risk assets indiscriminately sold off. BTC would likely fall even harder than US stocks because during liquidity contractions, crypto is always the first to get drained.
In short, what we fear most tonight isn't bad news itself, but the recession logic triggered by "bad data causing bad expectations." For bulls, just the right amount of weakness is the real positive.
It's now afternoon Beijing time, and the market is still shrinking volume, waiting for direction. My strategy is: no adding positions before the data, and after the data is released, react accordingly for right-side trading.
$BTC $ETH The plan to buy the dip in storage pointed out on August 20 is based on the following logic:
1. The golden pit caused by the last panic sell-off is unlikely to appear again; the support level is strong enough.
2. The market has already been raising interest rates before the non-farm payroll data came out; the data release is actually the boot dropping.
3. Considering Trump's speech, I actually think the probability of a rate hike is low. The reasons are as follows: 1. Technological development will improve productivity and thus suppress inflation. 2. Trump is using administrative means to pressure, imposing tariffs on countries with large trade surpluses. 3. If a rate hike were necessary, it should have happened earlier; the chairman's attitude is wavering, and Trump's pressure is probably aimed at finding a way to cut rates or keep rates unchanged. Here's a more important hidden insight for those only focused on coin prices: After the non-farm payrolls hit, US Treasuries were sold off, pushing yields higher, but the big banks made a key point — this round of bond selling hasn't spread to other risk assets yet, and credit spreads remain low. In plain language: the market isn't truly panicking yet; today's pullback in stocks and crypto is more about "re-pricing rate hikes" rather than "systemic risk aversion." The real trigger to watch is a rapid surge in yields, which would force funds to cut exposure across the board. So don't rush to call a crash now, but don't act like nothing's happening either — just keep a close eye on the 2-year US Treasury yield.#August Nonfarm Payrolls at 162,000 Far Exceed Expectations, Rate Hike Bets Heat Up
$BTC dropped from 82,000 back to 79,000: false breakout traps traders, position sizing is deadlier than direction
Yesterday, some were still shouting "82,000 holds, the bull is back."
Today, as the US August nonfarm payrolls landed: 162,000 new jobs added, while expectations were only 56,000.
$BTC plunged from the high of 82,178 straight down to 78,650, with intraday volatility exceeding $3,500.
The market hasn't suddenly changed.
Many mistook a "breakout" for a "trend," and "volume surge" for "safety."
Let me be clear upfront to save you from arguing:
I’m not chasing longs in the short term.
78.6–79.0k is a watch zone, not a buy zone.
If it doesn’t reclaim 81,400, I treat yesterday’s 5% bullish candle as a bull trap.
If it breaks below 78,650 and fails to recover, next target is 76,300.
Why not side with the bulls? Just three numbers.
First, 82,000 is not new territory.
It was tested in May, again on August 25, and yesterday once more—three attempts, no overnight hold. The chips stacked here, it’s not empty.
Second, the nonfarm data changed the narrative.
Waller was saying the day before yesterday, "Wait for August inflation to decide on rate hikes," the market lowered rate hike odds, pushing funds to 82,000.
With 162,000 jobs added, the economy isn’t weak enough to ease; before the September 16 meeting, bears have ammo again.
Third, spot and futures are fighting.
One side is ETF still accumulating, the other is leveraged traders queued around 82,000 celebrating.
This structure usually doesn’t lead to "immediate takeoff," but first shakes out the chase buyers before deciding whether to move.
Sharing my own pitfall to avoid paper trading illusions.
The most expensive lesson I learned after 2024 wasn’t misreading direction, but adding leverage on breakout day.
The moment the candle looks like "finally right," the account often dies in the retracement.
When the fish bites loudest, the hook is often a fake bait.
I later set a strict rule for myself: on breakout day, only reduce positions or watch; confirm hold before adding. Slow, but survive.
So my execution this week is simple, no stories:
• Spot: hold, treat as inventory, not ammo
• Futures: flat or very light, no betting on reversal near 79k
• Failure condition clearly stated: if daily closes back above 81,400 and holds, I admit short-term mistake and reconsider longs
• Adding condition also clear: only consider a very small long if it retraces to 78,650 without breaking and volume shrinks, stop loss just below that wick
$ETH I’m even less inclined to chase. It still has follow-the-leader traits and is less resilient than $BTC after nonfarm.
$OKB I treat as an ecosystem position, not a hedge against the market direction.
Over the weekend, the most likely event isn’t a big move, but emotional review.
Winners will write yesterday’s 5% gain as "correct bullish call," losers will call today’s pullback "whale harvesting."
Both miss the point: the real pricing day in September is the 16th meeting, not the bullish candle on the 3rd.
One last question, don’t reply "wait and see"—such comments are meaningless for you and me.
Which do you choose now:
A. Stay flat until September 16, treat anything near 79k as noise
B. Buy near 79k in two parts, stop loss below 78,600
C. Still bullish, wait for retracement to 81,400 to add
Pick one and write your stop loss price.
If no stop loss, I’ll pretend I didn’t see it.

So don't rush to call a crash now, but don't act like nothing's happening either — just keep a close eye on the 2-year US Treasury yield.The US added 162,000 jobs in August, compared with expectations of around 56,000. That’s nearly three times the forecast. After the release, expectations for tighter Fed policy picked up again, Treasury yields moved higher, and BTC quickly pulled back from its highs. But there was one interesting exception: $ZEC barely reacted. Even with the market facing fresh macro pressure, ZEC continued holding around the $1,000 area. That kind of relative strength is exactly what I’ve been watching. A stronPharaoh’s headline number is simple: 162,000 jobs added vs. 55,000 expected, after the previous -23,000 reading. That isn’t just a beat. It’s a massive upside surprise. August nonfarm payrolls came in at 162,000, far above expectations, while the previous months were also revised higher by a combined 55,000. That makes the narrative of a rapidly deteriorating US labor market much harder to defend. And the market reaction tells the story. US Treasury yields jumped, with the 10-year briefly reachiAfter the short squeeze, the most important thing to watch is not the candlestick chart, but the funding rates. $BTC and $ETH funding rates across exchanges have all turned positive, but they remain mild, not reaching the extreme levels of bulls paying aggressively—indicating that those chasing longs in this rally are not overly euphoric; it looks more like shorts being squeezed out in a passive move rather than new buying FOMO. Even more interesting is $SOL, whose funding rate has quietly turned negative, meaning short-term shorts are starting to crowd in. Funding rates won’t play games with you: a mild positive rate = no one is going crazy, turning negative = someone is rushing to short. Between these two signals, which one do you trust more? and instead of supporting the bullish narrative, it poured cold water all over the market. August non-farm payrolls came in at 162,000, crushing the 56,000 consensus, while unemployment held at 4.1%. BTC reacted immediately, dropping back below $80K, while the 10-year Treasury yield moved back toward 4.80%. This essentially erased the dovish opening Waller created last night. Waller had previously signaled a preference to hold steady in September, pushing the probability of a rate hike down froSeptember 5 Comprehensive Risk Assessment Part 2
- **Current major change: Nonfarm payrolls greatly exceeded expectations → sharp rise in rate hike expectations → "Nonfarm rate hike panic"**.
→ 2026-09-10 CPI may exceed expectations
3. **Global high interest rate environment**: US 10-year 4.78% / Japan 10-year 2.91% (down from 3% but still high) / UK 10-year at 2008 highs / Germany 10-year at 2011 highs

- **Under the complex combination of "strong nonfarm (+162,000) + moderate hourly wages (YoY 3.1%) + Trump threatening Iran's Haoshan + Waller leaning dovish (waiting for CPI)", the market is highly dependent in the short term on the 2026-09-10 CPI verification. If CPI is moderate → Waller insists on pause → market rebounds; if CPI exceeds expectations → combined with strong nonfarm → September rate hike almost certain → market sharply corrects. Any additional shocks (Trump actually attacking Iran / CPI exceeding expectations / Japan 10-year breaking 3% again / emerging market crisis) could trigger severe adjustments in global financial markets.**$SOL's current pullback is more uncomfortable than $ETH's.
The reason is simple: SOL itself is more volatile than ETH, and there was more short-term capital accumulated during the previous rise. After the non-farm payroll data suddenly came in significantly stronger than expected, the market began to reprice Federal Reserve policy, risk appetite declined, and capital naturally withdrew first from high-volatility assets.
Currently, SOL still belongs to the core assets in a strong sector, but strong does not mean it won't fall.
This time, I am more concerned about one issue: whether the previous upward structure has been broken.
If it is just a rapid deleveraging triggered by the non-farm data, with volume gradually shrinking after the drop and the price reclaiming key positions, then it might actually be a reshuffling of chips.
But if BTC continues to weaken, SOL's rebounds fail to recover lost ground, and every rebound is crushed, then it is not a simple shakeout.
A coin like SOL rises fiercely, and when it falls, it doesn't give much hesitation time either.
So now, more important than guessing the bottom is to see if it can digest today's big bearish candle.September 5 Comprehensive Risk Assessment Part 1

And here’s the strange part: A stronger labor market normally gives the Federal Reserve more reason to keep policy tight, yet the Trump administration continues pushing for lower rates. So what is the real game here? It increasingly looks like a battle over who gets to influence US monetary policy. The Fed has to balance employment against inflation, while the White House keeps emphasizing Trump is still pushing for rate cuts, but the market is already worried about rate hikes again 😂
Morning report for September 5th: Last night, the US added 162,000 nonfarm jobs, far exceeding expectations, with the unemployment rate holding at 4.1%. With such strong employment, the Federal Reserve has even more reason to maintain high interest rates. Bitcoin $BTC also fell below 80k after the data release. Recently, just looking at project positives isn’t enough for Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Trump then posted, demanding that US interest rates be the lowest in the world, and even threatened that if the Fed doesn’t cut rates, he would stop doing business with countries that have trade deficits. This is just a statement for now, but it adds another layer of uncertainty to the weekend.
There’s also news on-chain. Injective announced that Pineapple has put over $1 billion worth of mortgage loan records on-chain. But these are loan records on-chain, so don’t mistake the $1 billion figure as $1 billion of funds coming in to buy INJ; those two are very different.
Also, an easy-to-forget note: next Monday, September 7th, is US Labor Day, so the US stock market will be closed, and spot ETFs listed on US exchanges will also suspend trading. The weekend extends through Monday, but the crypto market will operate as usual. If you see a sudden surge, first check if the trading volume can keep up; a few bullish candles alone aren’t enough to confirm a reversal.
#8月非农16.2万远超预期，加息押注升温 The first reaction to strong data was negative for risk assets, but what truly determines overnight profits and losses is whether the market followed the preset path. @交易员刺客 This session first dealt with rebound orders after the $BTC sharp drop, then focused mainly on SNDK short positions. The first phase relied on reducing positions and exiting to cash in on the rebound, but the second phase saw the target break off the sector and continue to rally independently, ultimately switching from "hedging waiting" to "stop-loss in batches." Viewing these two segments together is more valuable than discussing directions separately. On a macro level, Assassin interpreted that night's employment data as clearly strong. He believes that new jobs, unemployment rate, and wage data did not show the market's expected cooling, so rate hike expectations were raised again, putting BTC under pressure. This was his intraday judgment, not a definitive conclusion. The first sharp drop after data release often involves macro pricing, stop-loss triggers, and liquidity shocks. Traders shouldn't chase shorts based solely on "negative data," but should observe whether the price can sustain in key areas. For BTC, when the price returned below 79,488, he tried to go long low, separating the bottom and add positions: first using a smaller position, then adding positions near 79,288. The nominal leverage mentioned in the livestream was very high, so he repeatedly distinguished between "cross-margin mode" and "cross-margin betting." The former is just margin mode, while the latter exposes the account to single fluctuations; If viewers ignore the position ratio and only remember the leverage numbers, the risk will be much higher than the original plan. This long position then rebounded. The assassin first demanded a halving long position, then near 79,650#Semiconductor Conduction Observer: Tech stocks are rising, the crypto market is fluctuating, and funds are waiting for resonance
Last night, US semiconductor stocks all turned red, with SK Hynix, Micron, and SanDisk all rising together, and leveraged long positions in semiconductor targets rising simultaneously. Funds are flowing back into the tech growth sector, the signal is very clear
The logic for memory chips is not hard to understand: inventory destocking is nearing completion, AI computing power continues to consume capacity, price expectations are rising, and funds are positioning ahead of the cycle reversal
But in the crypto market, BTC is stuck at 81,000, ETH is hovering around 2,530, external tech sentiment is warming up, but internally it is fluctuating at a high level. The rhythms of the two markets are clearly out of sync
There is still linkage, but where is the transmission stuck?
The profit-taking in the crypto market is piled up too thickly, and short-term bullish forces are severely depleted. External sentiment can provide a floor but cannot push a new round of breakthroughs. BTC above 80,000 needs stronger catalysts to push higher
What has always suppressed risk assets has not changed
Geopolitical risks in the Middle East remain, oil prices are running high, inflation concerns are pressing down, and the Federal Reserve's rate cut pace is constrained. As long as these variables do not materialize, risk assets have a ceiling.
Three operational reminders
1. Do not blindly chase semiconductor mapped targets; handle the crypto market with a fluctuation mindset
2. Tech stocks lead, crypto lags, there is sometimes a time lag in between, do not chase highs and sell lows during the lag
3. The mainline signals have not yet appeared—before the three indicators of ETF inflows, on-chain activity, and rate cut expectations resonate, leave room in your positions
It is a fact that semiconductors are rising, and it is also a fact that the crypto market is fluctuating
#BTC #ETH #Semiconductor #Nonfarm Night Observer: The data hasn't come out yet, but the script is already written
Yesterday at 20:30, the nonfarm payrolls arrived again. BTC and ETH hang like a knife over our heads; a spike is a high-probability event.
The market expects an increase of 56,000 jobs, previous value -23,000, unemployment rate 4.1%. Last week's ADP was only 38,000, below expectations, signs of cooling in the labor market are already evident.
Tonight, the key is not whether the data is "right or wrong," but which side it leans toward:
· Below 30,000, unemployment rate jumps: rate hike expectations continue to fall, BTC and ETH lean bullish, but don't chase the first candle; wait for volume confirmation
· 50,000-70,000, meets expectations: expect a spike then choose direction, a trash market during trash time, don't make rash moves
· Above 100,000, wages rise: US Treasury yields and the dollar rebound, risk assets face short-term pressure, bears will take the opportunity to push prices down
Personally, I'm slightly bullish but keeping my position very light. The reason is simple: the Fed is currently focused on CPI; weak nonfarm payrolls don't mean immediate easing, next week's CPI is the real directional switch.
Two reminders:
1. The first candle after data release is often swept by algorithms, don't chase it
2. Unemployment rate and revisions to previous data are more critical than the number of new jobs; these are the details the Fed truly watches
It's a macro data night; surviving is more important than guessing right. Calculate your overnight fees carefully for leveraged positions; don't treat nonfarm payrolls as a double-or-nothing button.
#BTC #ETH #NonfarmData #CryptoMarket#日银加息预期升温，日元空头平仓风险上升
The yen is acting strange this time.
When the yen appreciates, the dollar weakens, U.S. Treasury yields push higher, and risk assets come under pressure. But the bigger problem is that the short positions on the yen are extremely crowded. The whole world is borrowing yen to buy high-yield assets, and cryptocurrencies are one of the important destinations.
The impact on the crypto space can be analyzed on two levels.
In the short term, a stronger yen itself does not directly suppress Bitcoin prices, but it transmits pressure by withdrawing global liquidity. If the USD/JPY really falls below 155 and triggers a chain of liquidations. The non-farm payroll data has already caused a drop, and if the yen delivers another blow, market pressure will increase further.
In the long term, the Bank of Japan raising interest rates means the global "cheap money" tap is being tightened. Over the past decade, the yen has been the world’s largest funding currency, and now this source is shrinking. The cost of borrowing to speculate in crypto is rising, so valuations built on liquidity need to be reassessed.
Just watch the 155 level. If it holds, the yen’s appreciation pause will give risk assets a breather. If it doesn’t hold, the $102.6 billion short squeeze chain reaction could cause global risk assets to be repriced.

Trump trades T in Brent crude oil between $70-90; when it hits $70, he strikes Iran, and at $90, he tacos again.
Basent watches the US Treasury yield; when the 30-year Treasury yield reaches 5.2%, he launches verbal attacks.
Wash watches the September rate hike probability; when it drops to 30%, he pushes hard, and when it rises to 70%, he babbles.
The three immortals each play their own game, independent yet interfering with each other
#FOMC前最后一组数据：本周五非农 August's nonfarm payrolls were 162,000, breaking market expectations. 📉 Why did this number silence everyone? I stared at the screen for a long time, and my first reaction wasn't how much I lost, but that familiar dull pain returned. Nonfarm payrolls were 162,000, expectations were 65,000, more than double. The unemployment rate remained completely unchanged at 4.1%. Previously, the market still held the illusion of "weaker employment and lighter rate hikes," but now that script has been torn apart. Rate cut expectations jumped from 33% straight to 67%, US Treasury yields surged across the board, and BTC was knocked to its knees. This wasn't just a simple data head-on, but a disruption of pricing logic. Previously, everyone traded "inflation falling→ policy easing→ liquidity recovery," and the most vulnerable link in this chain was employment. With such strong employment data, it's like telling the market: the economy is still hot, and there's no need to rush policy shifts. So all positions betting on easing are passively adjusting, and BTC, as the most liquid asset, naturally bears the brunt. But what really hurts people isn't the downtrend itself. It's the feeling of waking up every day thinking, "I should have bottomed out," only to grind down a bit the next day. A sharp drop is at least a quick cut; this kind of bearish drop is like grinding your nerves with sandpaper. The red in your account grows longer each day, but you can't tell whether to leave or stay. I didn't cut off. It's not that I'm holding on, but that I've come this far and want to see a few more steps. AXTI's logic line hasn't broken yet, and USELESS's short liquidation price of 0.299 hasn't been touched yet. If one day it really happensNonfarm payroll data is stronger than expected, and market bets on a rate hike in September have heated up again, with the probability now around 60%. But there's a detail here that can't be ignored: a rate hike isn't set in stone yet. Waller has made it very clear: what will truly determine his voting stance in September is the upcoming August inflation data. But judging from the market, it's clear that funds have already started to defend themselves in advance. $BTC. $ETH Both weakened, with BTC once falling below 80,000. The US stock market hasn't opened yet, but I'm actually a bit curious: Was yesterday's tech rally a preemptive move, or was it just a premature move to give back today's profits? If risk assets continue to be under pressure after the US market opens, yesterday's rally is likely to be repriced. As for $SNDK, yesterday's performance wasn't particularly strong. If risk appetite continues to decline tonight, will these highly elastic stocks become the target for capital to prioritize reducing positions? Of course, I can't say for sure that a crash will occur. I'm just a poor person 🥺 still waiting to break even. But in this current market, I prefer to believe: news can be speculated up in advance, sentiment can be traded in advance, but ultimately, the direction is determined by data. The inflation data from September 11 might be the real test. #BTC #ETH #SNDK #美联储 #非农Now preparing for a second round, this time not chasing short-term trades, but aiming for a medium-term logic. $ZEC After breaking through $1000, the highest reached around 1029, directly hitting a nearly ten-year high. Now the price is around 1188, already approaching the key resistance zone of 1200–1300. Technicals are starting to heat up a bit. The daily RSI has surged to around 78, clearly above the overbought line of 70, and the divergence between price and moving average is widening. The stronger the rise, the stronger the demand for pullbacks. Behind this surge is mainly capital stimulus after ETF listings, combined with concentrated short selling pressure, further amplifying the pace of the rise. But the problem is also obvious: once incremental buying starts to weaken, the funds chased earlier may become cash-out. Looking at fundamentals, uncertainties remain regarding Zcash development team, privacy pool security, and regulation, and the future institutional space for privacy assets faces certain pressure. The liquidity situation is also not very promising. Currently, selling pressure is clearly higher than buying pressure, funding rates are negative, and there is a divergence between spot trading and contract positions. So my idea is simple: look for shorting opportunities near 1188. Set stop-loss above 1250, with the first target looking at the 1029–1000 range. If 1000 falls, then look at 900–920. The position won't be too heavy, controlled between 10% and 15%, with leverage up to 3x. Of course, plan is plan; if the market really goes against us, you still have to admit defeat. Wrong direction isn't scary; holding out is what really matters. FirstWhy do I choose to gradually accumulate $ONDO?
Personal view: In the next cycle, ONDO will be a high-quality RWA target, suitable for accumulating in batches on dips.
The core focus comes from regulatory trends: Ondo has submitted comments to the SEC and CFTC, advocating relying on existing U.S. securities laws without new legislation, incorporating U.S. stock perpetual futures into the domestic regulatory framework.
Overseas products have already been validated, with $8 billion in trading volume within six weeks of launch, $2.6 billion in RWA assets under management, ranking fourth in the sector. Tokenized assets combined with synthetic derivatives are advancing compliance.
Currently, the market has not fully entered a bull phase, so it is possible to accumulate on dips and wait for the cycle to fulfill the narrative.
However, it is important to distinguish between surface phenomena and fundamental support points. Submitting comment letters ≠ regulatory approval; trading volume and AUM are surface-level results. The three key things to watch are: whether regulators accept the proposal, whether custody fully maps assets, and real user adoption.
Once the fundamental support points are disproven, even the most impressive data will become invalid. I am optimistic about the long-term outlook but reserve room for correction. This is a personal insight and does not constitute investment advice.The NFP report may have shaken the market, but I think the bigger story starts next week.
Jobs came in stronger than expected at 162K, with unemployment at 4.1%. That’s enough to bring September rate-hike expectations back into focus and keep pressure on $BTC and $ETH.
But one jobs report doesn’t decide the entire trend.
Next week brings PPI, CPI, and eventually the FOMC. That combination could determine whether today’s weakness continues or gets completely reversed.
If inflation stays elevated and Treasury yields move higher, I’ll be watching $78.6K on BTC and $2,428–$2,400 on ETH.
Those levels matter because a clean breakdown would confirm that sellers are gaining real control.
But if CPI comes in softer and markets start pricing in renewed rate-cut expectations, today’s reaction could quickly become just another temporary shakeout.
So I’m not blindly bearish.
My expectation is weakness and volatility early next week, followed by a clearer directional move after CPI.
Until BTC loses $78.6K and ETH loses $2.4K, I’m treating this as a correction rather than a confirmed bear trend. #BTC兑黄金比率升至1月以来高位，强势能否延续？
Data Analysis
The BTC/gold ratio has risen above 18.17, reaching a new high since January this year. One BTC can be exchanged for over 18 ounces of gold. BTC is trading at 81,000, with gold also maintaining a high level. Both are strengthening together, but BTC's elasticity clearly outperforms gold.
Market Consensus
Bullish investors believe the rising ratio indicates that capital prefers crypto assets, and the hard asset narrative of $BTC is gaining institutional recognition; cautious voices remind that this is only a relative strength indicator, and the ratio often experiences pullbacks after surging, so it cannot be taken as a direct signal of a one-sided rise.
Underlying Logic
A rising ratio means that under equal conditions, capital is more willing to bet on BTC. However, this indicator is directly influenced by US Treasury yields and interest rate hike expectations. Once the macro environment reverses, BTC's volatility will far exceed gold's, and the ratio will quickly fall back.
Personal Viewpoint (Personally leaning towards a gradual return of the bull market, just a personal opinion, not investment advice)
The relative strength looks promising, but don't rely solely on this indicator to chase longs. Focus on subsequent inflation data and manage your positions carefully. [Pharaoh's Market Watch]
My DMs exploded, everyone is asking Pharaoh about Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Citibank, and 21 other traditional financial giants teaming up to officially announce the joint issuance of a US dollar stablecoin in the first half of 2027. Pharaoh took a look at this lineup—it's even more organized than Pharaoh's pyramid construction crew. Together, they manage assets exceeding $65 trillion and are aiming to grab a slice of the stablecoin pie.
The lineup is indeed impressive, but full of question marks. The alliance statement said nothing—no company name, no CEO appointed, no blockchain specified, and unclear where reserves will be held. Looking back at past lessons, Société Générale previously entered the market with much fanfare, but after nearly a year, its circulating volume was only $12.6 million. Tether's USDT alone has reached $183.3 billion, and Circle's USDC stands at $73.8 billion. Wall Street's compliance credentials may not be effective against the liquidity moat of crypto natives.
No direct short-term impact on Bitcoin, but in the long run, it adds bricks to the blockchain. More compliant dollars on-chain will thicken the underlying liquidity of the entire crypto ecosystem. However, with these 21 banks only launching in 2027, there is plenty of time for USDT and USDC to keep running.
Pharaoh's one sentence: Wall Street's regular army has finally entered the field, but they are still a long, long way from "taking over." Good deals come to those who wait; don't rush to get hyped. $BTC $ETH $ZEC #21家金融机构拟推美元稳定币
