最近市场有个细节挺值得关注：BTC兑黄金比率重新走强，一枚比特币目前大约可以换18盎司左右的黄金，已经来到今年1月以来的高位。 很多人只盯着BTC有没有突破8万美元，但我觉得现在更应该看看BTC和黄金之间的相对强弱。 为什么？ 因为黄金代表的是传统资金的避险逻辑，而BTC更多代表风险资产、流动性以及新一代“数字黄金”的叙事。 当黄金上涨、BTC不动，说明资金明显更喜欢避险；但如果黄金上涨的同时，BTC涨得更快，那么情况就不一样了——这意味着市场开始愿意给BTC更高的风险溢价。 今年其实已经出现过明显的切换。5月份BTC兑黄金的阶段性上涨趋势就曾经被打破，当时黄金ETF获得资金流入，而BTC相关基金出现资金流出，市场明显偏向传统避险资产。 现在重新走强，说明资金风险偏好正在修复。 更关键的是，宏观环境也在发生变化。 美联储政策预期降温、美债收益率回落，再加上美元走弱，给风险资产提供了一定喘息空间。欧易当前话题数据显示，BTC一度突破8.2万美元附近，而市场真正的压力区域已经逐渐上移到8.3万—8.6万美元。 但我这里必须泼一盆冷水： BTC兑黄金比率走强，不等于BTC马上开启主升浪。 现Last night, Bitcoin surged over 5% at one point, climbing back above $80,000. The direct catalyst was the dovish remarks from Federal Reserve Governor Waller: if upcoming inflation data continues to cool, he leans toward keeping rates unchanged at the September 15-16 FOMC meeting. The market immediately lowered its expectations for a September rate hike, U.S. Treasury yields fell, the dollar weakened, and risk asset sentiment improved accordingly. It's worth noting that Waller was relatively hawkish during his Jackson Hole speech, and the market had previously pushed the probability of a September rate hike higher.
Last night's rally felt more like a continuation on top of the existing rebound, combined with easing rate hike expectations. Going forward, we still need to watch Friday's nonfarm payrolls and the September 11 CPI; if the data heats up again, rate hike expectations could reverse at any time.
The short BTC position I gave yesterday has already hit stop loss; the short Ethereum position hasn't hit stop loss yet and is still being held. The stop loss can be moved down to 2530. I'll wait for the nonfarm payrolls tonight to see the situation before giving new orders.
#沃勒：8月通胀决定9月是否加息
$BTC $ETH BTC has returned to 80,000, but don't rush to pop the champagne yet. The "engine" driving this rally is short liquidations — in the past 24 hours, the entire network saw $2.01 billion liquidated, with shorts accounting for $1.7 billion, over 80%. Simply put, it was short covering that "lifted" the price, not new incremental funds competing to buy. Funds are indeed flowing back (BTC net inflow of $3.42 billion), but replenished funds and new funds are two different things. Plus, with tonight's non-farm payrolls and the September rate hike probability still hovering around 60%, the interest rate scale hasn't loosened. My view: the market is biased bullish, but the quality remains to be verified. A rebound and a reversal are two different things. Let's first see if 81,520 can be passed with volume before making further judgments. #沃勒：8月通胀决定9月是否加息 #OKX预言家：9月FOMC利率决议预测上线 Every first Friday night of every month, the entire crypto world enters a collective wait. Everyone stares at their screens, waiting for the U.S. nonfarm payroll data to be released. Insiders, whether trading spot or futures, treat this employment report as a switch for short-term market trends. Many people wonder: how can employment data from across the ocean influence the entire crypto market for Bitcoin and Ethereum? Nonfarm payrolls themselves are not directly targeted at the crypto market; their real power lies in reshaping market expectations for Federal Reserve interest rates. The Fed's two main tasks are stabilizing inflation and ensuring full employment. The three core indicators in the nonfarm payroll report—new jobs, unemployment rate, and average wage growth—are the Fed's most important indicators for observing the economy. The transmission chain is very clear: → nonfarm payrolls are realized→ the market repricing interest rate hikes and cut probabilities volatility in U.S. Treasury yields and the dollar index→ global risk asset valuations shift, ultimately transmitting to Bitcoin and the entire crypto market. Simply put, nonfarm payrolls themselves are not important; the real killer move is the change in interest rate expectations. If nonfarm payrolls far exceed expectations, new jobs surge, and wage growth rises. This means the U.S. labor market remains hot, household incomes keep rising, consumption is resilient, and inflation is hard to bring back quickly. The market will start trading: high interest rates will persist longer, and rates may even resume. This will lead to rising U.S. Treasury yields and a stronger dollar. For high-risk assets like Bitcoin, risk-free yields rise, and holding crypto assets is a key factorTheir doubts were so loud at the time, almost drowning out my will.
【Why did I switch from bearish to bullish?】
No lengthy explanation, just a short sentence and a chart: After consolidating for more than 60 days, with a weekly increase of over 10%, the situation where it then falls back to the bottom of the consolidation range has never occurred in history.
Yesterday, those who said going long was clownish and bullishness was foolish, when it dropped a bit they saw 57K, and when it rose a bit they said it was just a rebound. Why are they all silent today?
I still like it when you doubt me and jump in my face.
The bear market is over, just over. BTC rose 23% in a week and you don't believe it, ETH rose 40% in a week and you don't accept it either, because you are biased against cryptocurrencies themselves, only seeing them as trash, worthless, so-called virtual currencies.
But I am not a loser, nor a leader of the bears. I am just an ant who assesses the situation and goes with the trend.
【Next plan】
The end of wave one is expected around 83K. When it reaches this position, I will also choose to short on the right side, to take short positions for the wave two correction.

MISREADING A 48-HOUR SQUEEZE CANDLE Over the next 12 days, three macro forces are set to collide head-on: NFP prints today, CPI drops on September 11, and the FOMC policy decision lands on September 15–16. Simultaneously on Capitol Hill, the Senate faces key test hurdles for the CLARITY Act—the landmark regulatory framework expected to reshape the crypto ecosystem. Yet, Bitcoin ($BTC) on OKX abruptly spiked to $81,055 (+4.29% in 24 hours). Financial media immediately seized on the narrative: SpOne $BTC can now be exchanged for more than 18 ounces of $XAU, the highest ratio since January. Simply put, Bitcoin has surged more than gold recently; August was its strongest month since 2017. Both are rising together as the market bets that governments worldwide will rely on printing money to pay debts and dilute fiat currencies. Gold is the defense, BTC is the offense—betting on both sides with the same money. Gold is slowly grinding around 4,400, while BTC is charging ahead. In this battle for safe haven, BTC is truly outperforming this time. #BTC兑黄金比率升至1月以来高位，强势能否延续？ #沃勒：August inflation will decide whether to raise rates in September
Tonight at 8:30 PM, the August nonfarm payrolls report, the last piece before the FOMC.
Waller softened his tone on September 3rd, saying if inflation continues recent progress, he supports keeping rates unchanged; if data is strong, he would consider supporting a rate hike. After his remarks, the probability of a September rate hike dropped from over 70% to 50.2%.
Reuters survey expects an increase of 56,000 to 58,000 jobs in August, with unemployment steady at 4.1%. July nonfarm payrolls were down 23,000, and May and June were revised down by a total of 103,000. ADP reported 38,000, the weakest increase since January. Employment data has been cooling for three consecutive months.
Bank of America says nonfarm payrolls are just an appetizer; CPI is the main course that will decide the September rate hike. Inflation remains the core anchor of current policy.
Three scenarios: Nonfarm below 40,000, rate hike expectations continue to fall, BTC has a chance to rebound and test 79,000 to 80,000. Nonfarm between 50,000 and 80,000, direction unclear, BTC continues to fluctuate. Nonfarm above 100,000, rate hike expectations solidify, BTC remains under pressure, looking down to 75,000 or even 72,000.
Employment data is cooling, but oil prices are still rising; Brent crude broke through $95, expanding inflationary pressures. Among 178 PCE subcomponents, 54% have year-over-year increases above 3%, compared to 47% a year ago. Employment is cooling, inflation is still rising, the market cannot price unilaterally. Don't bet on the data, wait for it to land before acting. Tonight's nonfarm payrolls are just the appetizer; next week's CPI is the decisive battleground for the September rate hike. $BTC 📉 Today's first trade by the group member, a short position opening with a winning start!
Entered a gold short at 4474 this morning, precisely took profit and exited at 4462.
12 points gained, 7069 profit secured.
The morning session logic was very clear:
① The previous high resistance at 4478 was tested twice but not broken
② A bearish divergence signal appeared on the 4-hour chart
③ The US dollar index strengthened simultaneously
When the signal arrives, enter; when the target is reached, exit. It's that simple. $BTC $ETH $XAU #沃勒：8月通胀决定9月是否加息 #BTC兑黄金比率升至1月以来高位，强势能否延续？ #OKX预言家：9月FOMC利率决议预测上线 🚨 $BTC breaks through $81,000, $ETH stands above $2,500!
This surge came too fast, with a 24-hour increase of over 5%. On the surface, it looks like a breakout, but behind it are three forces igniting simultaneously:
First, macro expectations suddenly shifted. Fed Governor Waller released a dovish signal; if inflation continues to fall, the likelihood of no rate hike in September significantly increases. The market is betting on rapid changes, the dollar weakens, risk assets instantly gain liquidity support, and naturally, BTC and ETH benefit first.
Second, shorts began to get squeezed.
A large number of short positions were previously suppressed; after BTC broke through a key resistance level, stop-losses and liquidations triggered continuously, forcing shorts to buy back their positions, creating a positive feedback loop of "rising → liquidation → forced buying → continued rise." This explains why this rally suddenly accelerated.
Third, institutional funds are not absent.
Spot BTC ETFs continue to see inflows, indicating this rally is not just contract market hype; off-exchange spot funds are also returning to the market. Whales keep accumulating, further strengthening bullish sentiment.
But the most important thing now is not "how much it has risen," but whether $80,000 can truly become a support level.
If BTC can sustain volume and hold above $80,000, the market has a chance to continue challenging previous highs.
#BTC兑黄金比率升至1月以来高位，强势能否延续？ #沃勒：8月通胀决定9月是否加息 After crisis repair, the institutional version went live, and two major tests arrived as scheduled
A reward logic loophole pushed CORE into the spotlight. The v1.0.26 hard fork was completed, 150 million excess tokens were destroyed, and the underlying node vulnerabilities were patched; immediately after, the institutional bank version was officially released, and exchange deposits and withdrawals are expected to resume today at 17:00, coinciding with the release of the evening non-farm payroll data.
Short-term events are piling up, and the market can easily fall into two extremes: some believe the crisis is completely resolved, the institutional narrative begins, and the market takes off directly; others are overshadowed by the bug incident, completely denying the project's long-term value.
At this moment, we should step out of the black-and-white community emotions and objectively view the repairs that have been made and the real tests that have yet to come.
1. Hard fork completed: dismantling the protocol's internal time bomb
The root cause of this bug was a loophole in the node reward minting logic, allowing a few nodes to obtain excess block rewards, posing a risk of token oversupply diluting holders' assets.
The v1.0.26 new version hard fork did not roll back historical transactions; ordinary users' staking, transfers, and DApp interactions were completely unaffected. From the protocol level, 150 million excess CORE tokens were permanently destroyed, and the underlying code blocked the path for generating excess rewards.
✅ Problems already solved:
1. Prevent recurrence of similar reward inflation loopholes;
2. Eliminate the risk of excess token supply, returning total supply to the original design;
3. Staking and BTC hash staking functions will resume operation after full network node synchronization.
❌ Real issues not solved by the hard fork:
1. The trust damage to institutions and developers caused by the incident cannot be instantly erased by a single code fix; trust needs long-term stable operation to rebuild;
2. It cannot prevent users from freely unstaking and selling, so selling pressure risk objectively remains;
3. Code repair does not mean the market will automatically provide buy orders; the coin price is determined by the game between capital and chips, not protocol code.
In the past few days, exchange deposit maintenance and staking unlocks prevented CORE from flowing into the secondary market, so the market price was a distorted situation. The closure of deposit and withdrawal channels was equivalent to physically locking potential selling pressure, and the price did not undergo a real chip test. Data centers and large computing power orders are emerging intensively
SB Energy files IPO application: AI power infrastructure company SB Energy, supported by SoftBank, OpenAI, and NVIDIA, has submitted an IPO application to the SEC, planning to raise $5-7 billion.
NVIDIA previously announced providing $105 billion financing for SB Energy's OpenAI data center in Ohio.
Crusoe secures $13 billion large order: Data center startup Crusoe signed a five-year AI cloud service agreement worth about $13 billion with trading giant Jane Street;
Crusoe raised over $3 billion in a new funding round, with a valuation of about $30 billion.
Anthropic signs $35 billion computing power agreement: Anthropic reached a $35 billion computing power agreement with NVIDIA-backed cloud service provider Lambda.
Huiyu Technology collaborates with Oracle: Huiyu officially announced an AI data center cooperation agreement with Oracle.
PwC predicts: By 2050, global cumulative investment in data centers will reach $31.6 trillion, surpassing historical infrastructure waves such as railways, the internet, and electrification. Robinhood Chain单日收入超400万美元 超越Hyperliquid升至全网第三 据DefiLlama数据，Robinhood Chain过去24小时收入达413万美元，超越Hyperliquid的270万美元，位列全网第三，累计收入已达2069万美元，上线以来增长极为迅猛。 9月4日，据DefiLlama数据，Robinhood Chain过去24小时收入达413万美元，超越以衍生品交易见长的头部平台Hyperliquid（270万美元），跃居全网第三，目前累计收入已达2069万美元。Robinhood Chain是传统券商Robinhood推出的链上网络，围绕股票代币化与加密资产交易构建，目标是将美股、ETF等传统金融资产搬上链，并依托Robinhood庞大的零售用户基础导流。作为对比，Hyperliquid深耕链上衍生品多年，长期稳居收入榜前列，Robinhood Chain能在上线后的短时间内实现单日收入反超，足见其放量速度之快。这一数据的重要性体现在三个层面：其一，验证了股票代币化叙事的商业化能力，传统资产上链已能产生真实、可持续的现金流，而非停留在概念层面；其二Friday's non-farm payrolls, SanDisk's critical point.
Don't be fooled by the low-volume rebound these past two days. ADP at 38,000 is the lowest this year, and the market expects August non-farm payrolls to be only 58,000 — climbing back from -23,000 to just over 50,000 is called a "recovery," not "strength."
Moreover, July's previous value was significantly revised downward; who can guarantee it won't happen again this time?
The probability of a rate hike is now 57%. Storage stocks like SanDisk, which rely on liquidity to support their valuations, will be the first to get hit once liquidity tightens. July's non-farm payrolls surprised on the downside, making the storage sector the "only hard-hit area." Jefferies cut their target from 3000 to 1750, Citigroup from 2500 to 2100, and $SNDK plunged 7% in a single day — the reason boils down to four words: expectations too high.
The current trend is high-level sideways movement with low volume, exactly the same as before July's non-farm payrolls. Once Friday's data is released, do nothing and just wait.
Every time before non-farm payrolls, the manipulators pump the market, handing shorts easy profits.
Keep holding short positions on $SNDK, wait for Friday.

#FOMC前最后一组数据：本周五非农
#财报观察员：博通业绩超预期，Snowflake上调指引 Tonight's non-farm payroll data will very likely determine whether Bitcoin can truly hold above the 80,000 mark this round, or if it's just another misleading fake breakout.
The market expects about 56,000 new jobs added in the US in August, compared to -23,000 in July, indicating a slight recovery in employment.
Currently, BTC is stuck around 81,000. Last night's rebound was mainly driven by dovish signals from Federal Reserve officials, with US Treasury yields falling and easing rate hike expectations.
If the employment data is significantly hotter than expected, US Treasury yields will rise again, rate hike expectations will return, and the 80,000 level will face pressure once more.
If the data is moderately weak and yields continue to fall, BTC will have a chance to turn the 80,000 resistance into solid support.

#沃勒：8月通胀决定9月是否加息 #非农前数据分化，9月加息预期升温 The market is all waiting for tonight's non-farm payrolls, but more important than the non-farm data is the interest rate scale. Waller said if August inflation is strong, a rate hike in September will be considered; Vance is calling for a rate cut, and Basent strongly supports crypto — policy signals are one hawkish and one dovish, so the market is basically flipping a coin. Gold broke 4470, oil prices hit 91 dollars, and Iran attacked a US military base, so the risk-off sentiment hasn't dissipated at all. In this environment, BTC returning to 80,000 seems more like a reaction to "short squeeze" rather than confirmation of "macro improvement." My judgment: before the direction emerges, ups and downs are just fluctuations; don't mistake a rebound for a reversal.
$BTC $XAU $CL
#沃勒：8月通胀决定9月是否加息 #BTC兑黄金比率升至1月以来高位，强势能否延续？ #OKX预言家：9月FOMC利率决议预测上线 Yesterday, the US 10-year yield fell back to about 4.77%, but Ajian doesn't think this means the market suddenly stopped worrying about interest rates; it's just that no one wants to make big bets before the nonfarm payrolls. In the past two days, stocks have rebounded, gold has rebounded, crypto has rebounded, and the dollar is slightly weak—everything feels like the calm before the storm, waiting for the US August nonfarm payroll report to be released.
The current market expectation is for about 55,000-60,000 new jobs, an unemployment rate of about 4.1%, and average hourly earnings year-over-year of about 3.7%-3.8%. Many people only look at new jobs, but tonight you must first look at hourly wages, because what the Fed really fears is that employment cools down but wages do not fall, while oil prices remain above $90. This would create the most uncomfortable combination of being stuck in the middle.
Also, one more thing to understand: if the results are close to expectations, what the market will really care about is how yields move, not whether employment is good or not. Expectations are already on the table; only exceeding expectations will change pricing. Weak employment does not necessarily benefit $BTC, and if it is too weak, the market will switch from a rate cut trade to recession and deleveraging. #长端美债收益率维持高位，债务压力升温 📰 【The MEME stock meme project briefly surpassed $130 million in market cap, setting a new all-time high.】
According to BlockBeats, on September 4th, based on GMGN data, the Robinhood Chain stock meme project MEME continued to surge, with its market cap briefly exceeding $130 million, setting a new all-time high, now retreating to $115 million. It surged over a thousand times in 24 hours, with a trading volume as high as $77.8 million.

This wave of stock memes took off too fast, a thousand-fold increase looks exciting, but liquidity is limited, so be careful not to catch the last leg when rushing in. The market cap fell from $130 million to $115 million, showing obvious divergence. Do you think this narrative can continue or is it just a pure emotional wave? Let's discuss in the comments 👇👇👇
$BTC $ETH $XAU BTC reclaiming $80K with ETH leading the 24h move suggests this is broader risk appetite, not an isolated squeeze. My read: the market is positioning for a friendlier macro path ahead of CPI, but the stronger signal is ETH's relative bid. If that persists, participation may widen beyond BTC.
Not advice, just analysis.

#OKXOutcomeLeagueFOMC In the forex interface, BTC suddenly became clickable.
Standard Chartered announced on September 3: through its UAE DIFC entity, it will launch deliverable BTC/USD and ETH/USD spot trading for qualified institutions.
It claims to be the first global systemically important bank locally to do this, and currently the only multinational bank in the region offering institutional digital asset spot trading.
I verified this with Standard Chartered's official website release, Reuters, and CoinDesk.
It's not launching a separate crypto app but integrating into the existing electronic trading channel, using the familiar forex interface.
Settlement can be done with your own custody or with Standard Chartered's digital asset custody, which will launch in the UAE in September 2024.
Simply put: custody is set up first, then trading is connected.
The UK branch had already implemented similar capabilities in July 2025; this time, the approach is extended to the Middle East.
I think this is more practical than just shouting "institutions entering the market" again—the real signal lies in whether the regulatory framework and bank balance sheets can accommodate it, not slogans.
Ordinary people still can't access this door; only qualified institutions are the clients.
Price check: Coinbase Spot BTC≈81024 / ETH≈2513 (Beijing time September 4, 13:18).
There is also the August non-farm payroll report late Friday night; don't mix macro news with this announcement.
$BTC $ETHBitcoin briefly surpassed $82,000 this morning, rising over 6% in 24 hours, with the total crypto market cap approaching $2.82 trillion, hitting a nearly seven-month high. U.S. stocks also strengthened, with the Nasdaq leading gains around 1.4%, and crypto-related stocks like Tesla, SpaceX concepts, Strategy, Circle, and Coinbase rising sharply.
The market rally is not driven by a single factor. Trump stated that the stock market will rise and said the action against Iran "won't last long," aiming to suppress oil prices and geopolitical premiums. Treasury Secretary Yellen emphasized falling prices, controlled core inflation, limited impact of U.S.-Canada frictions on prices, easing concerns over bond market sell-offs. Fed Governor Waller unusually softened his stance, saying if data continues to cool over the next two weeks, he leans toward holding steady in September, borrowing Lennon’s phrase "give disinflation a chance." The probability of a rate hike immediately dropped from over 60%.
Each of the three focuses on a different area: geopolitics and oil, inflation expectations, and interest rate path, with the market simultaneously easing. But QCP points out this round is more about short covering, with leverage not significantly returning. Once the CPI is released on September 11, it will be clear whether this is a policy pulse or the start of a new risk appetite cycle. $BTC $ETH $SNDK #沃勒：8月通胀决定9月是否加息 #BTC兑黄金比率升至1月以来高位，强势能否延续？ #HOOD收涨创年内新高，链上收入居公链第一 🔥$ETH outflow after 12 days of inflow, don't treat "institutions" as a single-day signal
On September 3rd (partly sourced from September 2nd), the US spot ETH ETF saw a net outflow of about 48.2 million, ending a continuous 12-day inflow; among them, ETHA outflowed 53.35 million, ETHB inflowed 52.92 million, FETH outflowed 26.2 million, ETHE outflowed 23.5 million. The cumulative inflow of about 1.62 billion over the previous 12 days was impressive, but the single-day outflow indicates institutions are not "mindlessly dollar-cost averaging," but rather reallocating between products: BlackRock’s staked ETHB is being acquired while the old spot ETHA/Fidelity’s FETH are withdrawn, like a company’s finance department exchanging duration without changing the sector.
Looking at the price makes it clearer: ETF flows are slow variables, short-term prices are more influenced by interest rate hike expectations and nonfarm/CPI disappointments. This morning’s 5% rise was mainly due to initial jobless claims + Waller pushing down the rate hike probability, not because the ETF bought that much in one day; if September CPI is high again and Waller changes his stance, 2500–2520 can quickly become resistance rather than a stepping stone.
A beginner’s framework without mysticism: watch ETFs by "weekly net flow + which few dominate," don’t focus on single-day headlines; watch ETH by "staking queue + mainnet burn + L2 large network fees" three ledgers; watch macro by initial claims, CPI, and the three tests of the September 15–16 FOMC. Instead of listening to influencers shouting $10,000, better to watch if 2500 closes weekly with volume, if 2400 holds without breaking on low volume, and if ETFs resume continuous weekly inflows. $ETH As of September 4, BTC had surpassed $81,000, up more than 5% in 24 hours; ETH also climbed above $2,500, also up more than 5%. This pattern of "rally followed by high-level oscillation" is the result of fierce competition among multiple forces: 🚀 The three core drivers behind the rapid rally 1. Macroeconomic shift (the core driver) Fed Governor Waller sent a "dovish" signal, indicating that if inflation eases, it would support a pause in rate hikes in September. This caused the market's probability of a rate hike in September to plummet from 63% to about 50%, pushing the US dollar index below the 99 mark and directly igniting global risk assets, including cryptocurrencies. 2. Bear stamping ("short squeeze") A large number of short positions accumulated in previously pressured markets trigger stop-losses and forced liquidations after the price breaks through key resistance levels, resulting in passive buying and a chain rally. In the past 24 hours, net liquidations across the network reached about $2.01 billion, with short liquidations reaching $1.7 billion. 3. Institutions and whales continue to accumulate ETF funds (reaching $358 million in a single day on September 3), with whales actively accumulating coins at low levels. However, it should be noted that some whales transferred large amounts of shares to exchanges during ETH's rise, creating potential selling pressure. ⚖️ Impact and Outlook of High-Level Volatility After a sharp rise, prices enter high-level consolidation mainly due to the following constraints: · Key resistance levels to be broken: BTC faces the previous high resistance zone at 81,500-82,800, while ETH is under pressure near 2,520-2,530. Nonfarm payroll data$CHIP Main Force Chain Plan: First Squeeze Shorts, Then Harvest, The Script Is Clear
Source of funds, 0.043→0.0624, a 34% increase without news support, characterized as main force accumulation rather than retail behavior. The liquidation map shows short positions near 0.049 with a strength of 9.5 far exceeding long positions at 4.2, with short leverage positions more concentrated; the main force's primary motive for pumping the price is to squeeze shorts and trigger liquidations.
At the current stage, the price retraced to 0.05631 with a very shallow pullback, indicating the main force has not yet exited. There is inflow on the 5-minute small timeframe but an outflow of 1.13 million on the 15-minute, which belongs to short-term profit-taking after a pump, not a trend reversal.
Tycoon Operation Suggestion: Gradually go long around 0.052-0.055, add positions if it holds above 0.057, leverage ≤ 3x.
Tycoon Personal View: The main force short squeeze is not over, the retracement is healthy and the lower support is effective, the bullish structure remains intact, mid-term bullish target near 0.07.
How much do you believe this script? #沃勒：8月通胀决定9月是否加息 #BTC兑黄金比率升至1月以来高位，强势能否延续？ #OKX预言家：9月FOMC利率决议预测上线 $BTC $ETH 【BTC Market Depth Analysis・September 4】
1. Major Trend Overview
On the daily chart, a strong upward trend started from 57800, with higher highs and higher lows continuously forming, indicating that the bullish macro structure remains fundamentally unchanged. The 8-hour timeframe shows a large bullish candlestick breaking out of the previous consolidation range, with a clear upward trend direction. The first target resistance for this rally is 82300.
2. Current Contradiction Points
After the price surged to 82300, a noticeable pullback occurred. On the 1-hour chart, volume shrinks at the high level with sideways movement, and multiple consecutive candlesticks fail to make new highs, which is a typical sign of a rally stalling. The rhythm of volume increasing on the rise and decreasing on the pullback has been broken, indicating short-term bullish momentum is weakening.
3. Key Price Levels
- Strong Resistance: 82300 (double top neckline, two failed attempts)
- Short-term Support: 79062 (upper boundary of converging triangle, confirmed on pullback)
- Mid-term Support: 76264 (low point of this rally, critical line between bulls and bears)
4. Bull-Bear Balance
Weighted across four timeframes, bulls hold 54% and bears 46%. Bulls have a slight advantage but it is narrowing. It is not recommended to open new positions at the middle price range.
5. Trading Strategy
- Long positions: Buy on dips around 79000-79200 after stabilization, stop loss below 78500, target 82300

Because yesterday the market was still discussing: Is BTC about to break 76,000? But today, there was a major reversal. BTC quickly rebounded from around $77,000, climbed back above $80,000, and even briefly hit around $82,000; After Fed Governor Christopher Waller sent a dovish signal, market concerns about a rate hike in September significantly diminished, and risk assets rebounded in sync. More importantly: after BTC rose, altcoins did not remain idle. Mainstream altcoins like SOL, XRP, BNB, and others rebounded simultaneously, while DeFi, high beta, and AI sectors also started to regain activity. But here's a very important detail: Currently, BTC Dominance is still around 57%–58%, and the quarterly altcoin index is only 37/100. So we can't just shout: "The full-scale altcoin season is here!" The truly accurate description should be: BTC strengthens again→ risk appetite is repairing → altcoins are starting to take the lead→ sector rotation is being tested. Today, let's follow this capital chain downward. ⸻ 01| 🚨 Market Radar: $80,000 reclaimed, the rules of the altcoin game have changed 🟢 $BTC| 76,000 successfully defended, now retesting 82,000 BTC. The most important move today is not how impressive a 5% increase is. Rather: it has recovered the previous downward structure. Previously, BTC quickly recovered from above $80,000BTC is back above $80K. The easy trade is to call this a broad crypto breakout. I’m not convinced yet. The interesting part is the rotation underneath BTC. $ETH is holding around $2,508 while $SOL is still near $104, even as BTC pushes above $80K. At the same time, $HYPE is trading around $86 while a roughly $797M HYPE unlock is scheduled for September 6. That tells me this market is becoming increasingly selective: capital is chasing strength, but some high-beta names have a supply event sit#HOOD closed up at a new high for the year, leading public chains in on-chain revenue
The leader has something to say
Robinhood's stock price rose 16.57% to close at $124.72, hitting a new high for the year. Morgan Stanley upgraded the rating to overweight with a target price of $150, followed by Piper and Scotiabank.
Robinhood Chain's single-day revenue reached $4.01 million, ranking first among public chains. In two months since launch, cumulative fees totaled $13.05 million, annualized to about $110 million.
Revenue is high, but the main trading drivers are still Meme and Launchpad. Real demand for RWA has not yet emerged; whether volume can stabilize is something to watch going forward.
Robinhood Chain is based on the Arbitrum tech stack, and revenue is directly shared with the Arbitrum DAO. ARB rose along with it, but this was driven by ecosystem narrative, not fundamentals. This ARB surge is ecosystem narrative-driven; don't chase it, wait for a pullback.

The above analysis is time-sensitive; always set stop-loss orders. Good luck.#原油供应扰动反复, oil prices fluctuated at high levels. On September 1, the U.S. Secretary of Energy said that about 17 million barrels of oil passed through the Strait of Hormuz that day, the highest single-day volume since the outbreak of the US-Iran conflict. On the same day, the market's pricing in the Fed's rate hike in September soared from less than 40% a week earlier to over 66%. This is the most glaring contrast in the entire news: physical goods are regaining circulation, but fear is accelerating its own reinforcement. The 17 million barrels figure says "oil is flowing," but the interest rate market is pricing in "oil is coming to a halt." What lies between the two is not supply and demand fundamentals, but an increasingly thick, repeatedly played "attack narrative." What the market is doing is no longer trading crude oil, but trading its own fear of crude oil. And fear has a fatal attribute: it doesn't need facts to sustain it; it only needs no reverse facts to interrupt. Swap the subject to "the pipeline being restored" If the subject is "oil prices," the story is "supply disturbance." If the subject is "Strait of Hormuz," the story is "geopolitical risk." But if the subject is the pipeline itself, struggling to restore flow between attack and escort, the whole narrative becomes a black comedy about "who is ignoring reality." This pipeline passed 17 million barrels on Monday, the highest since the conflict began. The U.S. military began escorting large amounts of crude oil transit in a single day. Traders' tankers were calculating insurance and freight fees, but they did not halt operations. The physical market said in its own way: supply was not interrupted. But the interest rate market was doing something#沃勒：8月通胀决定9月是否加息
Waller's one sentence instantly changed the market
$BTC just broke through 82,000, then turned back to hover around 80,000. This back and forth is all because of Waller's one sentence.
Last night, Federal Reserve Governor Waller made a statement, very straightforward: if August CPI and PPI data show inflation cooling, he supports keeping rates unchanged in September; but if the data is hot, he will consider a rate hike. He also quoted John Lennon — "Give inflation a chance," saying we can wait for one more meeting.
As soon as he finished speaking, the CME's probability of a September rate hike dropped directly from 63% to about 50%, U.S. Treasury yields fell, the dollar weakened, BTC briefly surged past 82,000, and gold also rose above 4,500 dollars.
But this rally was more driven by expectations. After BTC surged, it returned to around 80,000, indicating the market is waiting for the nonfarm payroll data. Expectations are expectations, data is data; the real judgment day is at 8:30 tonight. If nonfarm payrolls weaken and rate hike expectations continue to cool, BTC might surge again; if nonfarm payrolls are strong, rate hike expectations will return, and the profits from this rally might be given back.
Waller opened the door for the market, but how wide it opens depends on what the nonfarm payrolls say.

The BTC to Gold (BTC/Gold) ratio has surged to its highest level since January this year! Against the backdrop of the Federal Reserve's tightening battles and intertwined geopolitical crises, the relative strength of digital gold compared to traditional hard currency has attracted intense global capital attention.
The exchange rate ratio hitting a new stage high reflects a profound differentiation in the underlying asset attributes:
Institutional capital risk appetite varies: Despite repeated macro interest rate disturbances, the continuous inflow into US stock spot ETFs provides BTC with highly resilient marginal buying power, with capital absorption significantly stronger than physical gold.
Liquidity premium of digital gold: Gold above $4500 faces suppression from central bank gold purchase slowdowns and high interest rate discounting, while BTC, with global 7x24 hour instant liquidity and a narrative of asset scarcity, demonstrates higher offensive elasticity.
Resistance test at a critical juncture: The ratio indicator has reached a previous dense chip lock-in zone; if subsequent spot incremental funds fail to follow up, the high level may easily trigger some long positions to take profits and rebalance positions.
Do you think the BTC to Gold ratio can further open upward space, or is it time for gold to catch up in the short term?
$BTC $XAU #BTC #Gold #DigitalGold #Macroeconomics #CryptoAssets#沃勒：August inflation will determine whether there is a rate hike in September
Federal Reserve Governor Waller draws a policy red line: if inflation continues to improve in August, he supports holding steady; otherwise, he supports a rate hike. Next week's CPI and PPI will be decisive indicators. As a result, the probability of a 25 basis point rate hike in September on the CME has plummeted from over 70% to 50.2%!
Macro bulls and bears are evenly split again, with three core points of contention:
Employment resilience provides confidence: Initial jobless claims at 206,000 remain at a healthy low level. Both Waller and Bahl have characterized employment as "stable and satisfactory," so the Fed does not need to rush to cut rates to protect jobs.
Cooling expectations boost asset side: The decline in rate hike probability has driven U.S. Treasury yields down by 3 to 5 basis points, and the dollar index has weakened, providing a breathing window for risk assets under tension.
Three major milestones will decide the outcome: tonight's August nonfarm payrolls, next week's inflation data, and the mid-September FOMC decision. Before these three major events, interest rate pricing will continue to experience intense tug-of-war.
Do you think next week's inflation data will extinguish the rate hike flames or force the Fed to implement a hard rate hike in September?
$BTC $SPX $QQQ After Bitcoin surpassed 80,000, another more noteworthy indicator has changed.
One BTC can now be exchanged for 18.17 ounces of gold, hitting a new high since January. This is not because BTC is rising while gold is falling—both are rising, but BTC is rising faster. Their 90-day correlation has reached a nearly six-year high, while the correlation with Nasdaq has dropped to a one-year low. The market is pricing $BTC and gold $XAU together, based on the same logic: debt expansion and fiat currency depreciation.
ETF funds saw a net inflow of $3.52 billion in August, marking the best month of the year. However, starting from early September, flows have been volatile, with $236 million outflow on September 1 and $101 million inflow on September 2. Institutions have not formed sustained momentum yet; it’s more of a back-and-forth tug.
Market opinions are also divided. Yi Lihua believes after a pullback, the price will continue to rise, with resistance at 86,000; Scaramucci predicts a rebound from the end of this year to early next year. But Jiang Zhuoer liquidated all BTC at $82,050 and turned to shorting, citing proximity to the upper range, ETF fund outflows, and resistance between 83,000 and 84,000.
Both bulls and bears have their reasons. Whether $BTC can outperform gold and continue upward depends on whether the sell orders in the 80,000 to 82,500 range can be absorbed. If absorbed, the story continues; if not, Jiang Zhuoer’s camp might be right. #BTC兑黄金比率升至1月以来高位，强势能否延续？ Recently, BTC has undergone a change that's more worth watching than just its price fluctuations.
It is starting to resemble gold more and more.
The 90-day correlation between BTC and gold has risen to its highest level since 2020, while its correlation with the Nasdaq has clearly declined.
In simple terms, the market is beginning to understand BTC in a different way.
Before:
BTC was like a tech stock.
It rose when liquidity came in and crashed when risk appetite disappeared.
Now:
Dollar depreciation, fiscal deficits, and debt pressures are being used to explain why BTC is rising.
Gold fits this logic.
BTC is starting to fit it too.
This is actually more interesting than "institutions being bullish on BTC."
Because once BTC is truly incorporated into macro asset allocation, it’s not just trading on crypto market sentiment anymore, but on global capital’s judgment of fiat currencies, interest rates, and purchasing power.
Of course, don’t rush to call it digital gold.
When correlations are high, everyone looks like brothers.
When real trouble hits, that’s when you find out who the true safe-haven assets are.
$BTC $XAU 21 financial institutions plan to launch a US dollar stablecoin; the real signal is that banks no longer want to be just the deposit channels for stablecoins
In the past, stablecoin companies were responsible for issuing coins, payment companies handled scenarios, and banks took care of custody and channels. Banks held the underlying infrastructure but watched the front-end entry points being taken by others. Now, big banks and asset management institutions are teaming up to enter the field, essentially fighting to reclaim the brand and distribution rights of the "digital dollar"
But the bank-issued stablecoin won't be as wild as crypto-native products. It is more likely to first serve corporate settlements, cross-border payments, and institutional fund transfers, emphasizing compliance, redemption, reserves, and identity
This competition won't immediately kill USDT or USDC, but it will shift the stablecoin market from "who runs out first" to "who can be trusted by the biggest money"
#21家金融机构拟推美元稳定币 Driven by Trump's White House crypto activities and the U.S. Treasury's increased efforts in bond repurchases, liquidity in the crypto market has significantly improved. Bitcoin recently rebounded sharply, once surging above $82,000, with a nearly 26% gain in a single month.
However, this rally has not been smooth. Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Walsh delivered hawkish remarks at the Jackson Hole conference, warning of inflationary risks, which briefly fueled expectations of rate hikes and caused a short-term pullback in risk assets including Bitcoin. Currently, BTC faces clear resistance around $82,100.
Looking ahead, whether the market can continue to break through depends on the consistency of fiscal liquidity release and the upcoming inflation data. If the Treasury subsequently withdraws liquidity or inflation remains persistently high, the market may face a new round of adjustment pressure.
$BTC $ETH $SNDK #沃勒：8月通胀决定9月是否加息 #BTC兑黄金比率升至1月以来高位，强势能否延续？ #HOOD收涨创年内新高，链上收入居公链第一 #Last data set before FOMC: Nonfarm Payrolls this Friday
Only the August nonfarm payrolls at 20:30 tonight remain before the September 16 rate decision meeting. Previously released data has weakened across the board: August ADP private employment increased by only 38,000, the slowest since January; the Beige Book shows growth slowing in 10 districts. But CME shows the probability of a 25 basis point rate hike in September remains as high as 62.3%!
Why does cooling employment fail to extinguish rate hike expectations?
Inflation price pressures are spreading substantially: Core PCE remains at 3.3%, Carson's statistics show that over 54% of 178 PCE subcomponents have year-over-year increases exceeding 3% (last year only 47%), indicating very sticky prices.
Fed officials remain hawkish and noncommittal: Williams said inflation is encouraging but firmly stated "we need to wait and see" on further actions, giving no bottom-line commitment to easing.
The ultimate showdown focuses on nonfarm payrolls: if nonfarm payrolls deteriorate sharply, rate hike expectations will instantly collapse; if data remains resilient, the tightening boot may land, directly triggering a repricing of stocks and crypto.
Do you think tonight's nonfarm payrolls will pull the Fed back onto a rate cut path, or will they fully seal the September rate hike?
$BTC $SPX $TLT #Fed #Nonfarm #FOMC #RateHike #MacroeconomicsBTC reclaiming $80K matters more than the headline gain. ETH is keeping pace, while SOL lags slightly, suggesting this is a broad risk bid rather than a narrow rotation. Still, pressure at the long end of the Treasury curve argues for discipline. I would trust the move more if it holds through the next macro catalyst.
Not advice, just analysis.#WallerEyesAugCPI #BTCGoldRatioHigh #OKXOutcomeLeagueFOMC Bitcoin's momentum in this oscillation range is very strong. Although it is currently oscillating at a high level, the probability of an upward move in this support-resistance swap zone is still very high. However, $82,000 is a strong resistance level that needs attention. Tonight's non-farm payroll data plays a very important role! $BTC The biggest variable this week — watch tonight's Nonfarm Payrolls!
The data's quality directly determines the Fed's September rate hike expectations, which in turn affects risk asset trends.
The pricing power of this round of $BTC is not on-chain; last night, it was most clearly verified in the Fed's meeting room.
Shorts were carried out, not convinced. In the hour BTC reclaimed 80,000, $86 million in short positions were liquidated. In this rise, part of the gains come from the corpses of shorts, not new money buying in. The 24h trading volume is 676.3M, ranking first among 11 assets, but with a 4.63% increase, the volume is not exaggerated.
Devaluation trades are quietly returning. The US government debt is 40 trillion, the 30-year Treasury yield at 5.27% is the highest since 2007, and the Treasury's debt repurchase expansion is underway. This is the only bullish logic that does not depend on the Fed's mood.
7-day outlook: slightly bullish but fragile. 81,455 is the resistance from 8/25; it must be effectively reclaimed before talking about hitting 82,814 (May high). Tonight, if Nonfarm is weak → surge to 83,000; if Nonfarm is strong → retest neckline at 78,000. #沃勒：8月通胀决定9月是否加息 #OKX预言家：9月FOMC利率决议预测上线 The correlation between Bitcoin and gold has recently risen to its highest level in nearly six years.
According to Bitwise data, the 90-day correlation between BTC and gold has reached its highest point since 2020, while the correlation with the Nasdaq 100 has noticeably declined.
This change is actually quite interesting.
In the past, the market preferred to treat BTC as a highly volatile tech asset.
Now the macro narrative is starting to shift.
When the market worries about dollar depreciation, fiscal deficits, and currency purchasing power, capital begins to seek assets with relatively limited supply again.
Gold fits this, and BTC is also starting to be included in this basket.
So this round of BTC's rise may not just be a story of the crypto market itself.
It increasingly resembles a macro asset, trading on interest rates, liquidity, and fiat credit.
But a higher correlation does not mean BTC has become "digital gold."
What’s truly worth watching is:
When the next macro pressure arises, can BTC still hold up like gold?
Or will it still be the first to be sold when the market gets nervous?
$BTC $XAU Federal Reserve Governor Waller made a statement yesterday, and the market immediately adjusted its positions.
He said that if the August inflation data continues to cool down, he supports keeping interest rates unchanged in September; but if the data strengthens again, he would also consider supporting a rate hike. The overall tone is more dovish than at Jackson Hole, but the door to rate hikes is not completely closed.
Before the speech, CME data showed a 62.3% probability of a rate hike in September, which dropped directly to about 50% after the speech. The US dollar and US Treasury yields fell accordingly, while gold strengthened.
Initial jobless claims were 206,000, steadily stuck in the 200,000 to 240,000 range over the past year, indicating employment is neither collapsing nor overheating.
Tonight at 8:30 PM, the August nonfarm payrolls will be released, with the market expecting an increase of about 56,000 and the unemployment rate to remain at 4.1%. July’s nonfarm payrolls actually decreased by 23,000, so whether August can rebound is critical. CPI and PPI data will also be released next Wednesday, and the FOMC meeting is scheduled for September 15-16.
Before these three key events pass, the probability of a rate hike or no hike is basically a 50-50 split.
Regarding $BTC, the 77,000-78,000 level is waiting for these cards to be revealed. Waller’s speech provided some breathing room, but the 50% rate hike probability hangs overhead, making big moves difficult in the short term. If tonight’s nonfarm payrolls are weaker than expected, rate hike expectations will ease further, giving BTC some relief; if the data is stronger, the rate hike probability will bounce back, and it’s uncertain whether 77,000 can hold. #沃勒：8月通胀决定9月是否加息 How much longer can the ARB rent-collecting narrative stay hype?
Brothers, ARB has taken off these past two days, rising nearly 50% in three days, from 0.07 all the way to 0.14. The core logic is simple—Robinhood Chain is paying it rent.
Robinhood Chain is built on Arbitrum Orbit, and in just two months since launch, it has generated over $13 million in fees. According to the protocol, 10% of net revenue is returned to the Arbitrum ecosystem, totaling $1.3 million distributed so far. The market suddenly realized—L2s can be played like this? Collecting taxes passively, isn’t that better than struggling to pull TVL?
But I think this wave of sentiment has mostly played out.
Technically, RSI is above 70, and the price has pierced through the upper Bollinger Band—seriously overbought. More importantly, price is rising but open interest is falling, indicating this rally is more about shorts getting squeezed than new money chasing. Also, there are two unlock rounds on September 16 and 23, releasing over 230 million tokens, which is real selling pressure.
Whether Robinhood Chain’s heat can last depends on whether its fee income can stay high. And don’t forget, Robinhood is a publicly listed company; if they ever think the 10% revenue share is too costly, they might just follow Base and leave anytime. $ARB When everyone only sees $124.72, I see an extra pawn on the seventh rank ready to promote at any moment. HOOD closed up 16.57%, superficially marking a new high for 2026, but in reality, the player is signaling a passing move: Robinhood Chain’s single-day revenue hit $4.01 million, securing the top spot among public chains; cumulative fees over two months reached $13.05 million, annualized at about $110 million based on the past thirty days. This advantage isn’t a fluke gained by greedy pawns but a central pawn chain set up from the opening—true masters don’t chase check; they naturally trap their opponent on the side they least expect.
Institutional ratings are like another page update in the opening: Morgan Stanley raised the target to $150, Piper advanced from $135 to $145, and Scotiabank simultaneously pressed the overweight button. These numbers shouldn’t be taken as mere applause from the sidelines but as the opponent’s revised opening manual after deep calculation—$150 isn’t a square they suddenly like, but the material lead they forecast by move 25.
Yet there are still uncertainties on the board: Meme, Launchpad, and Terminal occupy the current active squares; they have the knight’s agility but may lack the rook’s endgame penetration. The meme pawn formation strikes a loud rhythm; the launchpad acts like a pawn seizing the center, sharp at first glance but leaving a weakness on the board to be patched. The real question is whether these light pieces can be exchanged for RWA, a heavy piece that can drag the endgame to the last square.
The change brought by Arbitrum’s revenue sharing is like actively opening a half-open file. Yielding your pawn front to the flank camp looks like revenue sharing to ordinary people, but to a player, it’s a strategic repositioning—once the fee narrative is revalued, the ARB pawn sleeping on the sidelines will see a clear path.
The same chess manual is also unfolding on the $xORCL board. Stock tokens and on-chain revenue breathe almost in sync, indicating the market isn’t dissecting two separate games but trying to combine them into a midgame battle spanning the entire board through sacrifices and diversions.
A grandmaster’s instinct isn’t to admire a beautiful knight sacrifice but to coldly ask after the smoke clears: when all the meme pawns expire, will the RWA heavy piece still be sitting in the corner, unused? The chess clock won’t pause for applause; it only waits to see who can promote first in the endgame. #HOODChainRevenueLead 🇺🇸 Three sages are each busy with their own things 😅

Not advice, just analysis.#WallerEyesAugCPI #BTCBreaks80KAgain #OKXOutcomeLeagueFOMC $CORE This time, the story may not be as simple as imagined. Many people first saw a reward issuance vulnerability in Core, with over 150 million CORE overissued. But if you look at the timeline a bit longer, you'll see another side. The v1.0.26 hard fork has been completed, the vulnerability fixed, the overissued CORE has been permanently removed, the network has no rollback transactions, and no user funds have been lost as a result. From the perspective of tokenomics, this actually completes a supply correction. CORE that should never have existed has been created. Now, this portion of CORE has been permanently cleared. This is not a simple "burn bonus," but at least it means an abnormal issuance has been corrected, and there will be no further dilution of normal supply in the future. What's even more interesting is that the current total supply of CORE is very close to the maximum supply cap of 2.1 billion tokens. So what's really worth watching next is no longer "whether more issuance can continue." Rather: once CORE's supply side becomes clearer, can demand really pick up? If BTCFi, staking, dual staking, and the Core ecosystem continue to generate real demand in the future, then limited supply will make sense. Conversely, if demand doesn't grow, then simple burning won't create long-term value. So what this incident left $CORE with may be more than just a crisis.

But $xSTRC has the cleanest catalyst: Strategy recently confirmed a 12% annual STRC dividend rate for semi-monthly periods beginning SeptemDamn, tonight the whole market is focused on the non-farm payrolls. Oil prices have already fired the first shot.
Saudi Arabia's tracked crude oil exports in August dropped to about 3 million barrels/day, the lowest in at least 9 years. The peak in February was still around 7.3 million barrels, so it's been halved. The Red Sea and Hormuz Strait were bombed consecutively; two supertankers were hit again last week, totaling about 4 million barrels of cargo. Brent touched around 96 today, up more than 20% in a month. WTI is also fluctuating around 92. Brent crude has risen about 7% this week. Once energy rebounds, CPI won't be so loose. This is the real external variable.
Many people treat tonight's 8:30 PM non-farm payrolls as the rate cut switch. The consensus is roughly an increase of 56,000 to 58,000 jobs, unemployment rate watched at 4.1%, hourly wages at 0.3%. But with oil prices firm, service inflation won't ease. Besides soft employment numbers and hard wages, energy might add another layer to CPI. Waller is still saying August inflation will determine whether to raise rates in September.
Before the September FOMC, the real dividing line is whether employment is weak or not versus whether oil prices can push inflation expectations back up. Focusing only on employment numbers without considering barrels can easily misread the direction. Crypto risk appetite will also shake along with oil and interest rate expectations. Don't treat tonight as a pure employment trade; barrel counts are the hidden variable tonight.
