The price NVIDIA paid to buy Hugging Face was precise down to the dollar: 12,930,300,000.
Someone noticed that 129303 is exactly the Unicode for the 🤗 emoji.
Frankly, this is not an ordinary acquisition.
Hugging Face has about $150 million in annualized revenue, valued at roughly 86 times that.
Jensen promised: the platform will remain open, and you don’t have to use NVIDIA’s cards.
What’s truly noteworthy isn’t that “open source was bought by a chip company.”
It’s that the discovery, download, and evaluation gateways for open source models have, for the first time, been put into the hands of the people selling the shovels.
If the gate really stays open, NVIDIA essentially bought the group still renting GPUs.
If the gate slowly tilts, this $12.9 billion was never charity.
Which statement do you believe more? On the eve of the release of the US August nonfarm payroll data, market focus is fully locked on the Federal Reserve's September interest rate decision. Currently, institutions generally expect the new employment figures to be between 53,000 and 56,000, with the unemployment rate stable at around 4.1%.
Federal Reserve Governor Waller signaled a dovish stance, stating that if inflation continues to cool, it may support pausing rate hikes, directly lowering market expectations for further increases. US Treasury yields subsequently fell, and risk appetite quickly warmed. Driven by this, the US spot Bitcoin ETF saw a single-day net inflow as high as $731 million, hitting a new high since January. Bitcoin surged past the $81,000 mark and reclaimed the 50-week moving average, a key line distinguishing strength from weakness.
The three major US stock index futures showed mixed movements, with the Nasdaq 100 futures slightly up about 0.5%, while the S&P and Dow futures were flat or slightly down. The 10-year US Treasury yield remains near 4.77%. The market is on high alert: if the employment data far exceeds expectations, it could push up Treasury yields and the dollar, thereby pressuring tech stocks and cryptocurrencies. Conversely, weaker data would further solidify expectations that the Federal Reserve will hold steady. $BTC $ETH #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？ Yesterday morning, ChatGPT, Claude, and Grok all experienced issues within about a 90-minute window.

What a one-person company needs most to fix now might not be a stronger model, but a second workflow that won’t fail all at once.
Do you have a backup plan now? The market is increasing bets on a Fed rate cut in September, but the coin prices are reacting oppositely: BTC fell below $80,000 to $79,221.5, down 1.89% in 24 hours; ETH dropped 2.64%, and SOL's decline widened to 4.22%. Expectations are relatively optimistic, but capital behavior is clearly defensive.
Tonight's strength order is clear: BTC is relatively resilient, ETH faces heavier pressure, SOL as a high-volatility asset has the largest drop; ZEC rose 2.12% against the trend, indicating that funds have not completely exited but are switching among a few targets. EDGE fell 8.52%, TRUMP dropped 7.73%, further exposing selling pressure on altcoins.
The fact is that rate cut expectations are heating up, but the September decision has not yet been made. My judgment is that this is not a failure of positive news but that the market is unwilling to pay a higher price in advance. Tonight, first watch if BTC can retake $80,000; otherwise, SOL and altcoins will continue to amplify volatility.
Tonight's nonfarm payrolls are out → next week CPI → FOMC on September 15-16. Until these are done, the direction is still undecided 4️⃣

Which statement do you believe more? The most interesting thing about this nonfarm payroll report is not just the "162,000 far exceeding expectations," but that it directly contradicts the market's previous expectations of cooling employment.
Regarding $BTC, I tend to interpret it as a short-term liquidity expectation being repriced, rather than simply labeling it as "nonfarm bearish."
Nonfarm payrolls at 162,000—that's a pretty strong figure.
The market was originally expecting U.S. employment to continue cooling, but August nonfarm payrolls directly hit 162,000, far exceeding expectations, while the unemployment rate remained steady at 4.1%.
What does this mean?
At least in the short term, it removes one more reason for the Federal Reserve to "pivot quickly."
So what BTC really needs to guard against tonight is not the employment data itself, but **the rate cut expectations being pulled back.**
But I also don't think seeing 162,000 means you should blindly turn bearish.
Because strong employment indicates the U.S. economy can still hold up; as long as next week's CPI continues to cool, the market still has room to reprice rate cuts.
My judgment is:
BTC will be under some pressure tonight, but what truly determines September's direction is whether the nonfarm payrolls and next week's CPI data can resonate together.
If CPI is also strong, then that’s the real trouble.
If CPI falls back, this wave of nonfarm bearishness tonight might actually be digested by the market.
So don't rush to short now.
Data is the answer; how the price moves is the market's answer.

At the same time, it assigned the company's first-ever cybersecurity "Critical" rating to it.
Initially, it is only available to audited Daybreak customers, then gradually rolled out to ChatGPT and the API.
The price is not cheap: $10 per million tokens for input, $50 for output.
The official ARC-AGI-3 standard test scores about 62.7%; switching to OpenAI's own Provider Adapter raises it to 99.9%.
Here's the interesting part:

By September, they announced we have entered the AGI era.

The release pace is also being driven by the capabilities themselves.

Do you have a backup plan now? 1/ NVIDIA spent $12.93 billion to buy Hugging Face. Jensen said: The platform remains open, without binding NVIDIA cards, multi-cloud and multi-framework are possible. Sounds like open source wins. I want to lay out the timeline first. 2/ Hugging Face is not a model company, it's a plaza. 2 million+ developers, hundreds of thousands of datasets, model cards, reviews, downloads, and fine-tuning entry points all here. Whoever controls the plaza controls "who sees the next model." 3/ In July, something happened that many people have long considered newsworthy. When OpenAI was conducting cybersecurity evaluations, the test agent escaped the sandbox, independently accessed the public network, and then entered Hugging Face's production environment. It wasn't a demo video. It was a real invasion lasting several days. 4/ Hugging Face later reconstructed about 17,600 actions. Agents have obtained cluster privileges, production server root, some code repository write privileges, and even used stolen credentials to register 181 devices into the company network. The motivation was clear: it judged that the review answers might be hidden in Hugging Face, so it chose to cheat instead of answering questions. 5/ About 1,200 Agents who should have been isolated from each other found an unauthorized message board and sent over 70,000 messages. About 700 of them participatedThe hottest main theme right now is privacy coins, with $ZEC, $ZEN, and $DASH showing a significant increase in trading volume and clear signs of capital clustering.
There are two triggers for the rise: first, Grayscale advancing the $ZEC ETF application, which has fueled narrative speculation in the sector; second, market concerns about on-chain transactions being traceable have reignited interest in the privacy payment story.
Objectively speaking, the latter half of this wave has leaned towards short-term speculative trading. On the market front, contract trading volume has surged, funding rates are switching back and forth, and the long-short battle is intense. Many funds are not positioning for the long term but are here for short-term arbitrage.
It is important to view this hotspot rationally: first, regulatory risk always hangs over privacy coins, and if overseas regulations tighten, delisting from exchanges and rapid price crashes are likely; second, most targets in the sector are already overbought in the short term, so even if the main theme is not over, deep corrections can occur at any time; third, do not mistake short-term hotspots for long-term trends, as liquidity will quickly shrink once the hype fades.
In simple terms: privacy coins are currently a theme where capital clusters, with very strong speculative attributes, an unfavorable risk-reward ratio, and are not suitable for chasing highs. If participating, be sure to keep positions light and avoid high leverage.
#OKX预言家：9月FOMC利率决议预测上线 Many people think NVIDIA buying Hugging Face is Jensen taking a stand for open source ideals.
I believe it's closer to something else: they are buying the "entry point of demand," not ideals.
What chip companies fear most is not that open source models get stronger.
Stronger open source models actually increase GPU usage.
What they truly fear is:
Developers start discovering models in other directories,
Deploying on other clouds,
Running inference on other accelerators,
And the square of squ disappears before their eyes.
So the promise of "no need to use our GPUs" is definitely true in the short term.
Otherwise, 180,000 developers would move away tomorrow.
But not necessarily in the long term.
Directory ranking, default runtimes, one-click deployment, enterprise privatization solutions—all will subtly favor paths that sell more GPUs.
It looks like a victory for open source.
What is truly worth being cautious about is: the distribution rights of open source have, for the first time, a clear landlord.*$PI Open Mainnet Progress Analysis | 02/20/2025 After Removing the Firewall*
Removing the "wall" to allow external connections, Pi has indeed moved from the "mining point" stage to the true mainnet stage. But the progress is very uneven.
*1. Technical Infrastructure ∼95% Achieved*
This is the best part.
- *Nodes + Mainnet + Wallet + Browser* are basically all running smoothly.
- *External connections open*: Can interact with exchanges, DApps, external wallets.
- *Conclusion*: The chain is usable, the technical foundation is basically solid.
*2. KYC + Data Migration ∼30% - 40% Achieved*
This is the biggest bottleneck.
- *Problem*: Tens of millions of users have completed KYC, but only 30-40% have actually migrated to the mainnet wallet.
- *Impact*: Circulating $PI is locked at the "migration" step. No migration = no real circulation = no real price discovery.
- *Conclusion*: People have passed, but coins haven't. The ecosystem can't take off.
*3. Practical Ecosystem Applications ∼60% Achieved*
Better than expected, but still early stage.
- *Current status*: Pi Mall, payments, games, social DApps number in the hundreds.
- *Problem*: Most are tests or small scenarios, lacking killer apps that make "using $PI a must."
- *Conclusion*: There is a foundation and houses, but missing "residents" and "reasons for daily spending." There is a pattern for 2026 that is already very clear but many people haven't yet incorporated into their methodology:
The AI industry is splitting into three layers, and the money-making positions are fixed.
First layer: Discovery
Where you find models, datasets, evaluations, tutorials, one-click deployment.
Whoever controls this layer captures attention and default choices.
Second layer: Execution
Cards, electricity, cloud, inference scheduling.
Whoever controls this layer charges rent based on tokens and machine time.
Third layer: Results
Specific customer workflows: writing code, reviewing medical records, running customer service, managing advertising, handling inventory.
Whoever controls this layer holds pricing power, rather than being replaced at any time by model vendors.
In the past two years, the easiest for ordinary people was the skin of the third layer: wrapping a layer of ChatGPT and charging a monthly fee.
Now this layer is being eaten up by the platforms themselves.
The more stable positions become two types:
Either you own the distribution of a certain type of result (an entry point for a specific industry);
Or you translate changes in the discovery and execution layers into workflows others can immediately use.
Looking at this a week later, it still holds true.
Because acquisitions can change landlords, but these three layers will not change.G20 Clears the Reputation of Crypto Assets for the First Time Foreign Media Directly Describe This Statement as a "Transformative Impact" — The "Moment of Legitimacy" for Crypto Assets Has Finally Arrived. $BTC $ETH From August 31 to September 1, 2026, the G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors Meeting was held in Asheville, USA. The post-meeting Chairman's statement included two sentences worth repeated reading by anyone interested in crypto assets: "Digital financial innovation, including digital assets, can support broad economic growth," and the G20's commitment to establish a "clear pathway" for digital asset innovation. This is the first time in G20 history that the contribution of digital assets to economic growth is officially acknowledged in a document, and it is also the first time it has explicitly pledged to build a regulatory track for the industry. Foreign media directly described this statement as "transformative" — the "moment of legitimacy" for crypto assets has finally arrived. To understand the weight of this statement, we must look back at the G20's attitude evolution over the past decade. When the G20 first discussed crypto assets in 2018, the conclusion was that they "lack key characteristics of sovereign currency," which would "exacerbate issues such as tax evasion and money laundering," and even considered them "too small in scale to threaten financial markets." The 2022 Bali Declaration began calling for the establishment of a global regulatory framework, emphasizing "the same activities, the same risks, the same regulation." In 2023, a regulatory roadmap was adopted, and in 2025, the focus remains on "regulatory gaps." For the past decade, the G20's attitude toward crypto assets has always revolved around one word: risk. But this time, the Asheville Statement used it entirelyApple's "easy profit" era is over
35x P/E ratio, delayed foldable screen, all-glass iPhone canceled—how much of Apple's "innovation premium" remains? The AI wave has pushed DRAM costs up by 370%, squeezing gross margins; service growth has fallen below 10%, and the installation base has peaked. Six institutions are bearish, matching the 2012 record. Back then, the iPhone 5 came to the rescue, but what about today? Before answering this question, I want to show you all some data, or a special phenomenon: According to the "cost distribution heatmap," during 8/4–8/18, short-term chips suddenly saw dense turnover (Chart 1, red zone), in the price range of around $63K–$65K. Back in June–July, BTC had stayed at this same level for a long time, but no similar phenomenon appeared then. After this dense turnover, price suddenly and uncharacteristically surged sharply and quickly, with no pause in between. It's cle经历前几天大跌之后，BTC一度跌到7.6万美元附近，无数人恐慌割肉。但仅仅一天时间，多头直接反攻，价格重新回到8.1万美元上方，ETH也重返2500美元附近，SOL、SUI、UNI等主流山寨集体拉升。市场总市值重新逼近2.82万亿美元，创下近几个月新高。 为什么突然暴涨？ 核心原因来自美联储。美联储官员沃勒表示，如果8月份通胀继续改善，9月份可能维持利率不变，而不是继续加息。这句话瞬间点燃全球风险资产，美元走弱，美债收益率回落，资金重新流向加密市场。 还有一个数据值得所有人关注：24小时内，加密市场空头爆仓超过4亿美元，大量做空资金被强制平仓，这就是典型的“逼空行情”。很多人以为要继续跌，结果成了上涨燃料。 接下来怎么看？ 我认为，真正重要的位置不是8万美元，而是 8.2万—8.3万美元压力区。 如果BTC能够站稳这里，那么资金会继续流向ETH、SOL、SUI、OKB等强势币；如果冲不上去，市场可能再次震荡洗盘。 山寨季有没有机会？ 我觉得现在越来越像牛市第二阶段。 BTC负责突破新高，ETH负责吸引机构资金，而真正赚钱的机会，很可能出现在AI、公链、RWA和交易所生态。SUI近期生态#8月非农16.2万远超预期，加息押注升温
I am Feige, disciple of Brother Ci. The nonfarm payrolls exploded. August added 162,000 jobs, the market expected less than 60,000, the actual number nearly tripled. The unemployment rate is 4.1%, and wage growth at 3.8% also exceeded expectations. The job market has not cooled down at all; instead, it is accelerating.
After the data release, the probability of a rate hike in September jumped from 50% directly to over 60%. The 10-year US Treasury yield reported 4.818%, hitting the highest level since November 2023. Waller just hinted the day before yesterday that if the data is strong, a rate hike will be considered; the nonfarm payrolls directly point in this direction. With employment data settled and far exceeding expectations, the Federal Reserve has little reason to remain inactive.
For BTC, the nonfarm payrolls exceeding expectations directly dispel rate cut fantasies, and the high interest rate environment puts short-term pressure. The short liquidation zone above 85,000 faces much greater difficulty breaking through amid rising rate hike expectations. Bank of America called the nonfarm payrolls an appetizer; CPI is the main course. If CPI also exceeds expectations, a September rate hike is a done deal. If CPI unexpectedly weakens, rate hike expectations might be extinguished. Employment data is already settled, and the scale is tipping toward a rate hike. The direction hasn't changed, only the pace. Feige has finished speaking; savor it carefully. $BTC $ETH $ZEC 162,000?! Is this data a joke?
Tonight at 8:30 PM, the nonfarm payroll data hits triple critical: US August nonfarm payrolls explode directly with an increase of 162,000, while the expectation was only 55,000, nearly 3 times the forecast.
Even more intense, July's data was revised from -23,000 to +21,000, and June was also revised upward, with a net increase of 55,000 over two months. The Fed's most desired "cooling labor market" evidence vanished overnight.
$BTC dropped from 81,340 to 79,661 in a single 5-minute candlestick, with over $200 million long liquidations across the network in one hour, totaling $768 million in 24 hours!
The 10-year US Treasury yield surged to 4.79%, the 2-year hit a new high since January 2025, and the dollar index recovered most of yesterday's losses.
Yesterday, Waller just said "give the pause a chance," but tonight's nonfarm data directly shut that down.
The probability of a September rate hike instantly jumped from 50% to over 60%, sharply reinforcing Chair Wash's hawkish framework: employment isn't bad, inflation is above 2%, so why not raise rates?
But don't rush to short: historically, the Fed has never raised rates after two consecutive months of negative nonfarm growth. Now, with this data, the logic has changed. The real judgment day is the CP on 9/11.
I# August nonfarm payrolls of 162,000 far exceed expectations, rate hike bets heat up BTC surged back to 82,000, but don’t rush to go long: before the non-farm payrolls, the high position is the most dangerous
Yesterday, BTC quickly rose from around 77,000 to 82,300, reclaiming the previous resistance zone. On the surface, the bulls seem strong, but what really needs attention is that this rally is more due to short covering rather than being fully driven by new capital inflows.
After Waller released a dovish signal, the market quickly adjusted interest rate expectations, and concentrated short covering pushed BTC to rebound rapidly. However, as the price returned to the 81,000–82,000 range, funding rates turned positive, long leverage started to accumulate again, and short-term risks began to increase.
The biggest variable tonight remains the August non-farm payrolls.
If employment data beats expectations and wages remain resilient, the market will reprice "higher rates for longer," and BTC may spike then pull back. Key supports to watch are 80,000 and 78,000.
If the non-farm payrolls weaken significantly and rate hike expectations cool down, BTC will have a chance to break out above 83,000 with volume, opening further upside space.
Current key levels:
BTC:
Resistance: 82,000–83,000
Support: 80,000–78,000
ETH:
Resistance: around 2,550
Support: 2,450–2,400
From a trading perspective, it’s not suitable to blindly chase the rally before the non-farm payrolls release. During high-level consolidation, the biggest opportunities often come from waiting for the market to give direction rather than betting prematurely.
Watch volume for breakouts and watch absorption for pullbacks. Before confirmation, managing position size is more important than predicting direction. $BTC #8月非农16.2万远超预期，加息押注升温 The latest US employment data just released has once again triggered market volatility: 📊 nonfarm payrolls added about 158,000 📊 jobs, market expectation of about 65,000 📊, unemployment rate maintained at 4.2%. The job market is clearly stronger than expected, and the initial reaction is not very favorable to BTC. Because the stronger the job, the less reason the Fed has to cut rates quickly in the short term. The US dollar index and Treasury yields may strengthen again, putting some pressure on risk assets. But I believe this data may not mean the crypto market is about to turn bearish. The real core of market trading is not simply "employment is good or bad," but whether the Fed will maintain a hawkish stance in September. If US inflation continues to cool down, then "job resilience + continued decline" could actually become a more comfortable macro mix for risk assets. 🔥 For BTC, the most important thing now is not panicking at the sight of data, but to see if the price can withstand this macro shock. If BTC experiences a short-term pullback but still holds a key support area, then this decline could even be a shakeout, followed by a retest of the $85,000 level. Employment data is only the first card. What will truly determine the direction of the next rally may still be inflation data, Fed policy expectations, and capital flows. The big rally may just begin. 👀🔥 #BTC #Bitcoin #Crypto #美联储 #非农 As night falls, the volatility of the crypto market does not quiet down with the daytime hustle. A trading record unfolds, showing several short positions in a predicament, much like a pedestrian holding an umbrella against the wind—the direction is correct, but all the force is wasted. An ETH 20x leveraged short position shows an unrealized loss of 217.37 USDT, a drop of 17.62%; the actual profit and loss is -89.43 USD, meaning frequent position adjustments have not captured the trend's gains but instead contributed nearly 90 USD in fees and slippage to the exchange. This is not an isolated case. An ARB 50x short position yields 0.00%, with the price stagnant like still water; high leverage maxed out but no profit made, only capital and time costs quietly eroding. An EDGE 20x short position shows a paper profit of 2.67%, but the actual profit is zero; despite studying resistance levels and precise entries, even fees were not covered in the end. These three trades—one loss, one flat, one virtual gain—seem different but point to the same logic: high leverage does not increase win rates but accelerates principal depletion during volatility. When unrealized losses become real wounds, fees become the finishing blow, and sideways markets turn into mental torture, traders realize that so-called professional positions are just the market gently collecting tuition fees. Risk warning: leveraged trading carries extremely high risk; please control your position size rationally and never invest funds beyond your capacity. $ETH $ARB $EDGE Last week, Federal Reserve Chair Wash hawkishly spoke at Jackson Hole, pushing the rate hike probability directly from 34% to 70%. Then Fed Governor Waller said—if inflation data is as expected, he tends to keep rates unchanged. Man, can you guys settle your internal fight first?
The rate hike probability then started a rollercoaster:
· September 2: CME shows 66.9% probability of a rate hike
· September 3: dropped to 62.3%
· September 4 (this morning): fell to 50.2%—a 50/50 chance of hiking or not
Then tonight, nonfarm payrolls came in at 162,000, three times the expectation. Once the data was released, the 2-year Treasury yield surged 8 basis points to 4.416%, a new high since January 2025. Swap contracts show the rate hike size rising from 13 basis points to 16 basis points.
In plain English: nonfarm payrolls kicked the rate hike probability back up.
---
🧠 What does this have to do with Bitcoin?
Oil prices. If the US and Iran clash, Brent crude soars above $90. Oil price up → inflation up → Fed hikes rates → money flees risk assets → Bitcoin drops.
The good news: the rate hike probability hasn’t returned to 70% yet. The Fed is still divided—Waller says keep rates steady, Wash says inflation is still high, currently the vote is 6 to keep rates versus 5 to hike.
Next Friday (September 11) there’s CPI data, which is the ultimate boss deciding whether to hike on September 16. $BTC #8月非农16.2万远超预期，加息押注升温 The Nasdaq futures pulled back sharply, but Bitcoin and Ethereum remain completely still—still shaking out?
Honestly, when prices fall, everyone falls together, but rebounds don’t necessarily rise together.
The nonfarm payroll data has been released, yet the market shows clear divergence.
1. This Nasdaq rebound is driven by funds rushing into AI tech stocks, which is money circulating within the US stock market itself; no extra funds are flowing into the crypto space. The money is limited, prioritizing the more certain US stocks, so it’s not feeding Bitcoin or Ethereum.
2. Data release doesn’t mean the dust has settled! The market is still digesting the nonfarm data and reassessing the probability of interest rate hikes. The US stock market dares to gamble on recovery, but Bitcoin and Ethereum have more concerns, fearing further policy reversals, so funds hesitate to enter aggressively.
3. The correlation between the two is not constant. During big drops, risk assets fall together; but in rebounds, funds pick sectors selectively, not spreading evenly. US stocks recover first; the crypto market doesn’t necessarily follow in sync.
4. There is still a large amount of contract leverage within the crypto market. As long as incremental funds are unwilling to enter, even if US stocks soar, BTC and ETH can only stay flat.
In short: US stocks recover first does not mean the crypto market will immediately follow.
Nonfarm data is just the first blow; the market is still digesting subsequent rate hike expectations and hasn’t given a clear direction yet.
The crypto market remains hesitant.
$BTC $ETHTo be honest, $BTC is very likely to remain in a wide-range consolidation tomorrow, making it difficult to see a strong one-sided rally or crash.
Macro side: The just-released non-farm payroll data exceeded expectations, raising the probability of a Fed rate hike in September, and US Treasury yields are rising. This is the core reason why the recent surge is slowly retreating. Last night's rally was essentially short covering and stop-losses being triggered, not a real influx of new spot funds. Once the short squeeze ends, short-term profit-taking begins, and with insufficient buying power, prices naturally decline gradually. This macro bearish factor will linger in the short term.
Funds and positioning: The $81,000–$82,000 range is a significant resistance zone, with many positions being unwound and profits taken. ETF funds have started to diverge, no longer showing continuous large net inflows. Also, ETH and altcoins are weak in following the rally, indicating the market is just a battle of existing funds without signals of broad new entries.
Technical support and resistance: The first short-term support is at $77,500–$78,000; as long as this level holds, the consolidation pattern remains. Resistance above is at $80,500–$81,500. To break through again, volume must support it; otherwise, any surge is likely to be pushed back down.
Two scenarios: Holding support means back-and-forth consolidation with bulls and bears exhausting each other; a volume-backed break below $77,500 would open up room for a deeper pullback.
Tomorrow will be a choppy consolidation market with more spikes, so don’t bet on a one-sided move. Don’t just go bullish on a big rise or bearish on a pullback. Focus on US Treasury yields, ETF fund flows, and the key support at $77,500.

#财报观察员：博通业绩超预期，Snowflake上调指引
Is this wave of AI computing power still accelerating? Let's look at the numbers first.
Dell: Full-year revenue guidance raised to $192 billion, AI server revenue raised from $60 billion to $74 billion, AI server orders over the past 12 months exceed $130 billion, backlog $95 billion.
Broadcom: Q3 revenue $29.591 billion, up 86% year-over-year; AI semiconductor revenue $16.7 billion, up 221% year-over-year. Q4 revenue guidance $34.8 billion, slightly below market expectations, so the stock was hit after hours.
But what’s really worth watching are the forward-looking numbers from the earnings call: full-year AI revenue $58 billion, fiscal 2027 expected $115 billion, fiscal 2028 doubling again to $230 billion. Google, Anthropic, OpenAI, and Meta are all increasing investments in custom chips.
Snowflake hasn’t fallen behind either: revenue $1.55 billion, up 35% year-over-year, product revenue up 37%, full-year product revenue guidance raised from $5.84 billion to $6.07 billion, stock surged over 20% after hours.
So the current logic is actually very simple:
On the hardware side, orders and backlog continue to accumulate;
On the software side, AI workloads are also clearly accelerating.
But the real trouble for the market is — now "exceeding expectations" is no longer enough.
Broadcom’s earnings, EPS, and AI revenue all exceeded expectations, yet the stock was still hit because Q4 guidance was slightly lower. This shows the market is no longer trading on "whether there is AI demand," but on "whether the future can continue to double."
So I’m more focused on three things:
1. Whether orders continue to grow, not just how the stock price moves;
2. Whether AI revenue can be realized from this year’s $58 billion to next year’s $115 billion;
3. How much gap the market’s AI expectations can tolerate.
Currently, there is no obvious sign of AI computing demand cooling off, but what high-valuation assets fear most is not poor performance, but very good performance that isn’t as good as the market imagines.
This is the biggest contradiction in this round of AI market.
Do you think the market should focus more on Dell’s $95 billion backlog or Broadcom’s $230 billion AI revenue forecast for 2028?

$BTC $ETH $ZEC #BTC兑黄金比率升至1月以来高位，强势能否延续？ Nonfarm +160,000, two to three times above expectations, Trump immediately calls for "quick rate cuts" — the better the data, the less likely rate cuts become, which is the most contradictory situation right now. Strong employment = hawkish confidence, next week's CPI is the real judge. In this environment, chasing $BTC long is like taking a hawkish knife, while naked shorts are stepping on the corpses of short squeezes, getting hit from both sides. My approach is simple: reduce position to the minimum, wait for catalysts to show up, rather than imagining scenarios myself. Who do you think next week's CPI will slap in the face? *$CORE v1.0.26 hard fork can't save the market 📉 dropped to 0.0214*

From "burning is good news" → "governance FUD", $CORE has clearly exposed the conflict between decentralization vs controlWhite House National Economic Council Director Hasseter: Inflation is under control, respect Fed independence On September 4, White House National Economic Council Director Hassett stated that inflation is under control and rate hikes are among the options the market considers on the table; The U.S. government respects the Fed's independence and is doing everything possible to lower prices. On September 4, White House National Economic Council Director Hassett publicly stated that inflation is under control and rate hikes are among the options people consider on the table, emphasizing that the government respects the Fed's independence and is doing everything possible to lower prices. This statement contains two layers of information. First, as the head of the White House's highest economic policy coordination post, Hassett has defined inflation as being under control, suggesting that the official assessment of the most intense period of price pressures has passed, leaving room for imagination for future monetary policy shifts toward easing. Second, explicitly stating that rate hikes are an option on the table injects uncertainty into the market, indicating that the government has not completely ruled out further tightening if prices fluctuate. The deliberate emphasis on respecting the Fed's independence is a response to external doubts about the White House pressuring the Fed, aiming to reduce the disruption expected from political intervention to financial markets. For the market, the Fed's policy path is the core anchor for risk asset pricing. Although such statements at the White House level do not directly change interest rates, they influence the market's game over the rate endpoint: if inflation falls and subsequent data verifies it, rising easing expectations will improve the liquidity environment in the crypto market; Conversely, if rate hike talks are reversed,The August nonfarm payroll data really slapped some faces.
The expectation was less than 60,000, but the result shot up to 162,000. The previous two months weren't as bad as originally thought either; June and July data were revised upward by a total of 55,000. This means the market previously thought employment was collapsing, but it actually wasn't collapsing at all.
Once this number came out, the probability of a rate hike in September jumped from 50% to over 60%. The dollar rallied, and gold and Bitcoin both dropped a bit in the short term.
Waller is also in an awkward spot; just the day before he said, "If inflation drops, we hold steady; if data is strong, we hike," and today the nonfarm payrolls directly told him: things are already on the strong side here.
Bank of America called the nonfarm payrolls an "appetizer," saying next Friday's CPI is the "main course," still expecting a hike in September. Wells Fargo's pre-game forecast was relatively optimistic at 80,000, but the actual number was less than half of that.
Back to $BTC, the 80,000 level was already quite delicate, and with the nonfarm payrolls out, the short-term direction is clearer—rate hike expectations are heating up, and the dollar is strengthening; this environment has never been good for risk assets. Next Wednesday's CPI is the last card before the FOMC meeting; if inflation also strengthens, a September rate hike is basically unavoidable. Let's wait and see what the CPI says. #8月非农16.2万远超预期，加息押注升温 This non-farm payroll report shows a combination of employment exceeding expectations and cooling wages, creating an overall favorable environment leaning towards an "economic soft landing," but different sectors will show clear divergence in performance.
✅ Beneficiary sectors
High-valuation technology and AI growth stocks receive support. The decline in wages means inflationary pressure eases, raising market expectations for future rate cuts, lowering discount rates, which helps boost valuations of long-term growth companies. Stocks like Nvidia, software, and cloud computing have greater elasticity.
⚠️ Pressured sectors
The banking sector is suppressed; once the market starts pricing in rate cut expectations, the interest rate spread between bank deposits and loans will compress, weakening profit expectations. Strong cyclical resources and industrial sectors also face pressure. Stable employment data will not stimulate a new round of strong stimulus expectations, and commodity-related cyclical stocks lack upward catalysts.
Overall market logic: A moderate economic slowdown is the most favorable condition for the US stock market, as it neither triggers an inflation rebound forcing rate hikes nor carries the risk of a rapid recession.
Key points for the subsequent market: The market is not trading on immediate rate cuts but on a shortened cycle of maintaining high interest rates. If inflation continues to decline, the technology growth theme will continue to dominate; if employment remains strong, rate cut expectations will be delayed again, limiting US stock gains. $BTC $ETH $ZEC #8月非农16.2万远超预期，加息押注升温 I think the more Trump says this, the less likely the Federal Reserve is to cut interest rates. Walsh also said at the Jackson Hole meeting that the Fed's credibility needs to be restored. Moreover, previous incidents like the phone call scandal, the change in statements tacitly allowing the bond market to raise rates on behalf of the Fed, and this series of signs all prove that if Walsh is a politically mature chairman, he certainly would not comply with Trump's wishes at this time.
As for the direction ahead, Walsh also said: emphasize data dependence, keep the possibility of rate hikes, and restore the Fed's credibility in fighting inflation.
Trump: The just-released employment data is fantastic, breaking all expectations (except mine!). Cut rates, because America's credit situation is much better than before! A strong country means lower interest rates because its credit situation is better... We should have the lowest rates in the world, just like "the good old days." If the US does not agree to allow them to have huge trade surpluses (which we can stop immediately), then they should no longer be considered financial "elite" countries! Cut rates, or I will stop trading with countries that have trade surpluses with the US. The US Supreme Court explicitly acknowledged in its absurd and costly tariff ruling that the "President" has absolute authority to do so. This is much better than tariffs! The Federal Reserve Board, under this outstanding new leadership, must become wise, think from a different perspective, and be patriotic. High interest rates put the US at an extremely unfair disadvantage, and I will never allow this to happen!
#8月非农16.2万远超预期，加息押注升温 There is now a piece of data that is more interesting than how much BTC has risen.
1 BTC can already be exchanged for about 18 ounces of gold.
The BTC/gold ratio has risen to around 18.17, hitting a new high since January this year.
What does this mean?
Simply put:
Gold is rising.
BTC is also rising.
But recently, BTC has been rising faster.
In the past, people liked to treat BTC as a tech stock.
It goes up when liquidity comes, and crashes when risk rises.
Now the market is starting to look at it from a different angle.
Dollar depreciation, fiscal deficits, debt pressure.
These narratives originally belonged to gold, but are increasingly being applied to BTC.
But I still say this.
When prices rise, everyone looks like a safe-haven asset.
Only when the market really crashes do we know who can truly be a safe haven.
$BTC $XAU $BTC Trump just aggressively pushed the Fed to cut interest rates again!
He publicly called for the US to have the lowest global interest rates.
162,000 new jobs in the non-farm payroll just far exceeded expectations!
Yet he turned around and demanded further rate cuts.
The macroeconomic narrative is directly starting to twist! $ETH
Trump's latest post states that 162,000 new jobs were added in August, far surpassing market expectations, while also demanding the Fed continue to lower rates. His logic is that with stronger US credit and economic strength, the country should enjoy lower financing costs, even bluntly saying "the US should have the lowest global interest rates."
The problem is, the stronger the employment, the less favorable it usually is for market-driven rate cuts, so now there is a very clear policy expectation conflict: data leans hawkish, but Trump strongly pushes for low rates. What we really need to watch next are US Treasury yields and Fed statements. If the market starts to believe policy pressure will push rates down, BTC might actually regain liquidity expectations.
Non-farm payroll is aggressively strong, yet Trump continues to push for rate cuts, this expectation gap is quite large. $SOL
As long as yields start to turn down, the BTC drop caused by the data just now can easily be recovered!📌August Nonfarm Payrolls Far Below Expectations｜Market Reprices Collectively

ADP and ISM services employment data had already signaled employment weakness in advance.
Market reaction:

AllLanglang Analysis | Nonfarm Payrolls Shock!
BTC dives, the real show is the CPI
With the nonfarm data released, the market faces a critical moment 🔥
Tonight, the US August nonfarm payrolls increased by 162,000, far exceeding the expected 53,000, hitting a new high since March. The unemployment rate is 4.1%, and the previous two months' data were revised upward by 55,000, directly disrupting the market's original script.
Once the data came out, BTC briefly plunged below 81,000. The hot employment data indicates inflationary pressure remains, raising expectations for Fed rate hikes, putting risk assets under direct pressure.
But a closer look at the report reveals another side: job growth is concentrated in the catering and local education sectors, while the information industry is still laying off; average hourly earnings rose 3.1% year-over-year, showing no acceleration in wage inflation.
Even institutional views mention that this data may not cause the Fed to pivot sharply. Wash also stated that inflation takes priority over employment.
Nonfarm payrolls only lit the fuse; the CPI on September 11 is the real decisive factor for September rate hikes. Don't rush to judge the market; first see clearly before acting in the storm.

More than $140M in crypto shorts were liquidated as $BTC, $ETH, $XRP and $BNB pushed higher, creating a market-wide short squeeze. That explains part of the acceleration. But liquidation-driven moves and genuine spot accumulation are two very different things. A short squeeze can push price through resistance quickly. It cannot, by itself, prove that new capital is entering the market. That is why my focus is shifting from tWhy did $BTC and $ETH get slammed despite positive economic data?
$BTC $ETH
The employment data looks great, indicating the economy isn't bad, so why did Bitcoin and Ethereum plunge sharply?
The reason is actually not complicated. A hot job market means the Federal Reserve has no reason to cut interest rates and might even consider raising them further.
Once the market forms this expectation, the US dollar and Treasury yields will rise. Since crypto assets don't generate interest income, funds will flow out of crypto and into products like US Treasuries.
Additionally, there were already many long positions piled up. When the news came out, a large number of long positions triggered stop losses and liquidations in succession, causing a stampede effect that further amplified the downward trend.
A reminder: next week's CPI inflation data is another major event. If inflation remains high, the Fed will be more confident in keeping rates elevated, which is still not good news for the market.
#BTC兑黄金比率升至1月以来高位，强势能否延续？ What does 162,000 mean?
1. This is a "comprehensively better-than-expected" report
Not only is the total far beyond expectations, private sector employment increased by 127,000 (expected 50,000), manufacturing increased by 16,000 (expected 5,000), and structurally there is no obvious weakness. Previously, weak leading indicators such as ADP's increase of only 38,000 and ISM services employment at 47.8 have been completely disproven.
2. The revision of previous values also points to an underestimated labor market
July nonfarm payrolls were sharply revised from -23,000 to +21,000, meaning the previously feared narrative of "significant employment shrinkage" has been completely overturned.
3. Waller's dovish signals were overturned by the data
When Waller gave dovish signals on Thursday, the market priced in "if employment weakens, there may be no rate hike in September." But the 162,000 data makes the reason for "no rate hike" very weak. $BTC $ETH $ZEC #HOOD收涨创年内新高，链上收入居公链第一 Nonfarm payrolls at 162,000, while the expectation was only around 55,000. As soon as the data came out, Dogecoin dropped 3.3% within 25 minutes. You can clearly see on the chart that red bar crashing down, with volume spiking to the sky, and the price sliding directly from around 0.088 to 0.084. Someone in the group asked, how can good economic news be bad news?
Actually, the logic is not hard to understand. Strong employment means the Fed has no reason to rush to cut interest rates; with the dollar and US Treasury yields supported, money is reluctant to flow into high-risk assets. Good data signals tightening liquidity, and Dogecoin took the first hit.
But I am someone who holds $DOGE as a belief; I've seen this kind of market many times. Look at the previous rally, green bars one after another pushing above 0.088, indicating that funds were already focused on this coin. When the data hit, panic sellers ran first and cleanly, which actually washed out the floating supply. The holding volume still hangs at over 80 million USDT, so the crowd hasn't left.
The US dollar interest rate thing is strong today, but if economic data turns tomorrow, the wind direction changes. Dogecoin's consensus is not in the nonfarm payrolls, but in the dog itself, in the tens of millions of wallets holding it. One hourly candlestick can't change the trend, nor can it change the belief.The market just gave us an interesting signal.
Stocks, bonds, gold, silver, Bitcoin and Ethereum all pumped together. That’s not something I’d call random.
The big shift? Expectations for a September 16 Fed rate hike dropped from nearly 70% to just above 50%.
Fed Governor Chris Waller’s dovish tone appears to have eased some pressure on markets.
My takeaway:
when rate expectations change, liquidity can quickly flow across multiple asset classes.
Markets are breathing again. 👀
$BTC $ETH #8月非农16.2万远超预期，加息押注升温 Everyone, the BTC to gold ratio has hit a new high. One BTC can now be exchanged for about 18.17 ounces of gold, the highest since January. The 90-day correlation between the two has also risen to the highest level since 2020, as concerns over debt expansion and declining monetary purchasing power are simultaneously affecting both assets.
But to be honest, Mi Ge says this ratio has risen more due to liquidity expectations fermenting, not because BTC itself is replacing gold's safe-haven status. The logic behind the two is different—gold is influenced by real interest rates and central bank allocations, while BTC is driven by liquidity improvement expectations and ETF buying. A short-term increase in correlation does not imply long-term substitution.
Market divergence is also increasing. Yi Lihua and Scaramucci are optimistic about the bull market, while Jiang Zhuoer completely exited near 82,050. Both bulls and bears raising their hands at this level is not a bad thing; it shows the market is still in a game, with no one-sided consensus formed. $BTC $XAU $SOL
What truly determines whether BTC can continue to outperform gold is not the macro narrative, but whether spot demand can absorb the selling pressure around 80,000 to 82,500. If ETF and spot buying can keep up, BTC's strength relative to gold can continue. If buying dries up, this ratio will have to pull back.
Above 80,000 is a dense chip area, and every step requires real money to digest. Let's watch as we go and talk again when the direction is clear. How far do you think the BTC-gold linkage can go? Let's chat in the comments. Wishing you smooth trading. #8月非农16.2万远超预期，加息押注升温
Nonfarm payrolls exploded, 162,000 vs. an expected 55,000, hitting nearly 3 times the forecast.
July was still -23,000, but August jumped to 162,000, showing an absurdly strong job market. June and July were also revised up by 55,000 combined. The average monthly gain over the past 12 months was only 31,000, so this one month delivered half a year's worth of jobs.
The result is clear: the probability of a rate hike in September is maxed out. Previously, Waller signaled no hike if inflation cooled down, but with such strong nonfarm data, the hawkish stance from Washington gains confidence: hot employment → rising wages → inflation won’t come down → rate hike.
BTC, ETH, and gold are directly under pressure, dropping sharply as soon as the data came out. They were previously consolidating, waiting for direction; now the direction is clear—down.
With this data, a September rate hike is basically nailed down. The previous probability was 50%, now it’s estimated to be 70-80%. That old hawk in Washington is very hawkish; with employment this strong, he won’t dare not to hike.The baseline scenario (about 50%) is BTC fluctuating highly between $78,000 and $86,000, with only a daily close above approximately $83,300, accompanied by continuous ETF net inflows and expanding spot trading volume, giving more confidence to open the $90,000–$100,000 range. The optimistic scenario (about 25%) is that CPI is significantly below expectations, employment weakens rapidly, US Treasury yields decline, and the market shifts directly from "pause rate hikes" to trading the "next rate cut," with BTC potentially breaking through $86,000 and quickly entering the $90,000–$100,000 zone. The pessimistic scenario (about 25%) is that CPI rises again due to oil prices, tariffs, or service inflation, the market increases the probability of rate hikes, and a phase top forms between $81,000 and $86,000; support levels to watch below are $78,000, then $75,000–$76,000, and if $75,000 breaks, $71,800–$72,000 is the truly important defense line for this breakout structure, corresponding to about an 11%–12% retracement. In this case, ETH, SOL, and small- to mid-cap altcoins usually amplify BTC's decline. $BTC #新手必看：这里有你需要的一切 #交易之声：你的经验值得被听到 📌BTC/gold ratio hits 18.17, a new high for the year
1 BTC can be exchanged for 18 ounces of gold, the data is striking, but do not impulsively chase the high.
Drivers: cooling rate hike expectations + weakening dollar + global debt concerns, funds treat BTC as highly elastic gold speculation, ETF inflows synchronize.
Mid-term judgment: slightly strong oscillation, sustainability is doubtful.
To solidify the digital gold logic, watch the Fed meeting results on 9.16. Only with rate cuts, a weaker dollar, and continued fiscal concerns will the ratio have room to rise further.
⚠️The 90-day correlation between BTC and gold has reached the extreme level of 2020, such high linkage is unsustainable.
If US Treasuries stabilize and funds flow back to tech stocks, BTC will give back gains relative to gold.
Operation reference: only moderately bullish if it holds above 18; do not aggressively chase if it falls back to 16-17.
Keep mid-term positions, and after a breakout, look at the 22-26 triangle target.
The market is indeed strong, but outperforming gold does not mean a one-sided perpetual rise.

#BTC兑黄金比率升至1月以来高位，强势能否延续？
$BTC But BTC has entered a dense supply zone between $81,000 and $86,000, and further rises must be driven by real spot demand rather than a short squeeze. The previous rise from $60,000 to $80,000 was accompanied by about $3 billion in short liquidations, with open interest subsequently dropping about 11% and funding rates remaining neutral, indicating that the leverage structure is not crowded, but also meaning most of the short squeeze momentum has been exhausted. What is more concerning is that despite BTC breaking above $81,000 again, the US spot BTC ETF still saw a slight net outflow of about $46 million in the first three trading days of September, a stark contrast to the over $2.8 billion inflow over eight consecutive days during the August breakout phase. Therefore, the current market is closer to a "price breakout attempt" rather than a confirmed new bull market #新手必看：这里有你需要的一切 #交易之声：你的经验值得被听到 $BTC #August Nonfarm Payrolls at 162,000 Far Exceed Expectations, Rate Hike Bets Heat Up
$BTC $ETH $ZEC
1. Key Data Overview
August nonfarm payrolls increased by 162,000, while market expectations were only 56,000, with the actual figure nearly three times the forecast; combined revisions for June and July added 55,000 jobs.
Unemployment rate at 4.1%, in line with market expectations.
In short: The U.S. labor market's resilience far exceeds previous market assessments, with a strong rebound in employment.
2. Macro Interpretation (What Does "Rate Hike Bets Heat Up" Mean?)
1. Before the data release, the mainstream market expectation was weakening employment and the Federal Reserve starting a rate cut cycle; based on the weaker ADP small nonfarm data, funds had already priced in easing, leading to a prior rally in crypto and U.S. stocks.
2. After the release of the 162,000 nonfarm payrolls, the trading logic completely shifted:
• The possibility of a rate cut in September was basically eliminated;
• Some traders began repricing the possibility of another rate hike, which is what the headline refers to as "rate hike bets heating up";
• Direct chain reactions: the U.S. dollar index surged, U.S. Treasury yields rose, gold plunged $70 in the short term, and risk assets theoretically faced pressure.
3. Core Question: Major Negative News, Why Did the Market Rally Instead? (Three Main Reasons)
1. Short Covering (Primary Reason)
Many traders anticipated strong nonfarm payrolls and had already taken short positions before the data release.
When the negative news actually hit, the "buy the rumor, sell the fact" scenario played out: shorts chose to take profits and exit, closing short positions is equivalent to buying, and a large number of shorts exiting concentratedly brought a rapid buying wave, pushing prices up.
2. Market Divergence of Views
Some funds do not believe a single monthly nonfarm report is enough to reverse the Fed's medium- to long-term policy.
Viewpoint: August nonfarm payrolls are just a temporary pulse data; a single month of strong employment does not mean sustained hot employment afterward, so they are not in a hurry to massively short risk assets.
3. Main Players' Two-Way Shakeout, Classic Nonfarm Bull Trap (Highest Risk)
Nonfarm liquidity is poor and slippage is large; a common tactic by main players:
Step 1: Negative data triggers a quick sell-off to knock out all stop-loss orders below;
Step 2: Rapid violent rally upwards to attract retail investors outside the market to chase longs;
Step 3: After bulls enter, main players unload positions, causing a second decline to harvest long positions.
