The previous article covered the on-chain data already realized this week; below is what is about to happen
1. $AVAX
Fact: Upgrade on the 22nd, about 27 million unlocked near the 21st.
Judgment: Do not chase on the upgrade day. Wait for a pullback to stabilize before watching; if it breaks this low point, give up.
2. $ENA
Fact: Lock-up exemption, truly unlocked only on October 5th.
Judgment: Before 10/5, only consider short-term expectations. If there is a large bearish volume after that day, prioritize reducing, do not catch the first big drop.
3. $SEI
Fact: ETF amendment was not approved.
Judgment: The news spike can be traded, but do not hold. Sell on the rally, reconsider when it returns to the original position; holding as a trend trade will get stuck.
4. $NEAR
Fact: Privacy + Hyper perpetual already launched, incentives also triggered.
Judgment: The only batch worth holding for a while. If already pulled up, wait for a pullback; reduce positions on volume stagnation, do not chase a second buy at new highs.
5. $POL
Fact: Plans to burn 100 million, not yet burned.
Judgment: The positive impact is too weak, do not make it a main holding. If the burn succeeds, at most a short rebound; do not chase without a breakout.
6. $AAVE
Fact: Buyback date not yet set.
Judgment: Without official announcement of scale and start time, do not pre-position. On announcement day, see if volume can push it up; otherwise, it’s just a one-day event.
$ZAMA
Fact: Investment flow still ongoing, small market cap.
Judgment: Can do swing trades, keep position small. Exit on volume contraction, do not treat as a major coin. As early as May 13 this year, at the Conflux Ecosystem Conference, the founder Long Fan stated that Conflux's focus is to build China's financial digital infrastructure, 1/ focusing efforts on agent payment security to support the ecosystem. 2/ supporting RWA in this area. Logically, these two narratives align with the current environment, yet the coin price does not rise! The reason is that RWA is basically blocked in mainland China, while Hong Kong and other places do not use this chain, even though it has offshore RMB stablecoins like ustd0 and AxCHN. But in mainland China, those who want to go on-chain and play are restricted by regulations! Therefore, Conflux $CFX can only reach $2-5 unless policies change! #ZEC38KShortClosed
🚨 $ZEC SHORT SQUEEZE: $35M LOSS
A massive $ZEC short position has finally been closed.
On-chain data shows Garrett Jin closed 38,000 $ZEC shorts near $1,459, after entering around $656 — an estimated $35.4M loss.
The key takeaway isn’t the loss itself:
🐋 Huge short closed
🔥 Short-covering pushed $ZEC toward $1,530
📈 Momentum remains strong
But now the real test begins:
Can spot demand keep $ZEC high after the short squeeze fades?
$ZEC $BTC
#BTC87KCryptoCap3T That's nearly 12,000 BTC. But ETF demand was only part of the move. Here's what happened: • Spot demand was strong. Then shorts got squeezed. $345M in Bitcoin shorts were liquidated in a single day, adding fuel to the move. • And there wasn't much resistance in the way. URPD shows little historical activity between $80K–$85K, allowing BTC to move through quickly. Now, Bitcoin is testing the next major resistance zone: $85K–$95K. • The result: Bitcoin jumped from $81,146 to $86,600. That's +6.7% Did nothing, just went to the restroom, and when I came back, the K-line had already done the work for me. During the bottom consolidation, $OPG was moving sideways at the bottom, holding steady on the pullback, so I casually suggested opening a long position.
At that time, the screen was green enough to make you nervous, no one was talking ahead, I was the only one waiting there patiently.
When I came back, it pushed from 0.13431 all the way to 0.14025, a solid +90.09%, perfectly nailed it. The earlier hesitation was real, but the outcome is really sweet 😎
Took profits first, closed 70% to secure gains, don’t be greedy for the last bit. The remaining 30% I moved the stop loss to the entry price, if it keeps rising, let the profits run.
Panic comes from lack of planning, losses come from overthinking.
For those who haven’t entered yet, listen to me: now is not the time to rush, wait for the new structure to form, there will be more opportunities, don’t be anxious.
$DOGE $ETH When I woke up, ETH had already reached 2800. So now, is it chasing, oscillating, gambling, or a wash of chips? To be honest, when I saw this rally, my first reaction wasn't excitement, but caution. Because between 2400 and 2800, the 400-point range—roughly 10%—there was almost no real resistance. This move felt more like chips turning over rather than simply chasing the rally. Let's look at the facts first. After ETH broke through 2700, it continued to rise, with total market cap returning to the $2.8 trillion level, and staking and capital structure showed a clear divergence. These numbers themselves aren't surprising; what's interesting is the rhythm—altcoins haven't fully caught up, and BTC hasn't accelerated in sync yet, which suggests this wave is more like ETH holding the flag alone, rather than the entire market's risk appetite rising together. My understanding is that what the market is trading now isn't "bulls returning," but "ETH being repriced." Staking narratives, fund stratification, and forced short buying — these three factors combined are what drive prices upward. The problem is that this repricing often has a trait: prices rise quickly, but once expectations are digested, pullbacks are very direct. From the perspective of sector rotation, the current order of strength is roughly ETH leading, BTC holding its ground, and altcoins still watching and watching. If this sequence continues, we may see funds spilling out from ETH to high-quality altcoins later, forming a second layer of transmission. But if ETH surges but there is no support, and BTC does not take over, thenA rapid rise doesn't mean the bull market has arrived
$BTC surged to 86600, $SOL touched 119, $ETH stood back at 2700. The group chat started shouting "bull return" again
But my judgment hasn't changed: chasing at this level is not worth the odds
This round of rally is essentially a short squeeze. $648 million worth of short positions were liquidated in 24 hours, accounting for 86% of the liquidation volume. It's not new money buying in, but shorts forced to cover at market price due to margin calls, pushing the price up. Wintermute's assessment is accurate: derivatives are causing the squeeze, but spot trading volume remains at a two-year low.
ETFs haven't kept up either. On September 15, Bitcoin spot ETFs saw a net outflow of $450 million, the largest since June; weekly outflow was $753 million, almost wiping out the inflows from the start of the month, forming a classic inverted V. Without spot buyers to catch the fall, the short squeeze foundation is unstable.
Good news needs to be analyzed carefully.
That whale calling the shots was right about 80k, but his own plan was to reduce 30% at 100k, targeting 120k. He lost 6.68 million in June and 3.81 million in July, cutting positions decisively. Retail investors holding on to "12k at all costs" are playing a completely different game from his real operations.
The "crypto bill" corresponding to the CLARITY Act was rejected in the Senate 49:50 on September 15, closing the window until 2026. Following the news, BTC briefly dropped to 74913, with nearly 120,000 liquidations. Expectations have been disproven.
Whether the bull market has arrived or not, watch spot buying and ETF flows, not short squeezes and shout calls.
Hold core positions if 80k holds, take profits on rallies before 100k, and let the profits run Listed-company treasuries are buying again, but the cash-flow mechanics behind $BTC and $ETH accumulation are drifting apart. Strategy added 950 BTC, lifting its stack to 846,000 coins. Strive followed with 1,355 BTC. On the Ethereum side, BitMine absorbed 27,562 ETH, bringing holdings to roughly 5.98 million ETH, of which about 5.07 million is already staked. $BTC traded near $87,000 as total crypto market value pushed back above $3 trillion. The headline reads as one uniform bid. The balance sExtreme Greed Index at 78, yet XRP is sticking close to the upper Bollinger Band at 1.581 and closed at 1.582 — this is the most abnormal detail on today's chart. In the same sector, $BONK, although it surged 9.45% in 24h and ran faster, its MACD histogram has turned negative, RSI is only 63.2, volume is 15.6M, typical of an overextended emotional rally; $ENA has fallen behind directly, down 4.19% in 24h, MA5 has crossed below MA20, RSI only 44.6, and the funding rate still shows a +0.0050% long crowding. Comparing the three horizontally, $XRP is the only one with the structure of “new price high + MACD bullish + RSI not overbought,” showing clear relative strength advantage.
From a technical perspective, $XRP current price is 1.582, MA5=1.56306 has crossed above MA20=1.53693, forming a bullish moving average alignment; RSI=68.3 is approaching but not breaking 70, still room to rise; MACD histogram +0.002434 continues to expand, momentum not exhausted. The risk point is that the price has touched the upper Bollinger Band at 1.581, short-term pullback demand exists, and the funding rate +0.0100% indicates slight long crowding. Operation-wise, do not chase highs, buy on pullback near MA5.
The direction is bullish. Entry reference 1.545–1.560 (MA5 support zone, as long as pullback does not break it, the bullish structure remains intact). Take profit 1: 1.620 (extension above the upper Bollinger Band, inertia target before RSI nears 70).#AMD1TChipStocksRally
AMD just joined the $1T club, but the bigger story may be who gets pulled up next 👀
Nvidia, Broadcom and TSMC are already there, while Intel, Arm and Qualcomm rallied as AI inference demand gained attention.
What caught my eye is the shift from training to everyday AI usage. More agents could mean demand spreading across CPUs, servers and networking.
The next AI trade may be less about one GPU winner and more about how widely the compute boom spreads.
$AMD $NVDA $AVGOHyperliquid's data on HYPE burn: In the past 24 hours, 39,980 HYPE tokens were burned (worth $3.76 million), with a weighted average price of $94.18. A total of 48.84 million HYPE tokens have been burned (worth $4.64 billion), accounting for 4.88% of the maximum supply, and the platform's cumulative revenue is $1.27 billion.
① The burn mechanism is the core anchor of HYPE's value — every day, platform revenue is used to repurchase and burn HYPE, completing the loop of 'transaction fees → token holder benefits,' effectively giving HYPE holders an automatic 'dividend' daily;
② The burn ratio of 4.88% is already close to the cumulative level of many tokens' 'annual inflation burn models,' but HYPE has been live for less than 12 months, implying an annualized burn rate possibly exceeding 20%;
③ Protocols that can truly achieve a 'deflationary flywheel' require Hyperliquid's combination of 'high daily active users + net fee inflow + active repurchase and burn,' rather than relying solely on forced repurchases after VC unlocks.
HYPE's burn economics model may become the most textbook-worthy model in the DEX sector by 2027.$ZEC has closed this position first, waiting to re-enter later #ZEC巨鲸3.8万枚空单平仓，亏损超3500万美元
Brothers, after ZEC bottomed out and rebounded this time, it surged violently and has now reached a high level.
This wave surged directly from 1503.12 to 1558.41, hitting a new intraday high, currently around 1552.96, up 3.56% in 24 hours. On the 5-minute chart, EMA5, EMA10, and EMA20 are all aligned bullishly, with a big bullish candle shooting up sharply, showing very strong short-term bullish momentum.
The strong resistance above is at the high of 1558.41; after the surge, it has slightly pulled back. The short-term support below is around 1530, near EMA20. Once broken, this rapid rally is likely to enter a deep retracement.
After a big rise, don’t get carried away. ZEC has risen 38% in 7 days, 86% in 30 days, and nearly tripled in 90 days. The sharper the rise, the more profit-taking there is, and a concentrated sell-off could happen anytime. High leverage at this level is extremely risky; even a small wick can trigger liquidation. Many want to chase after seeing a big bullish candle, but remember, after a rapid surge, the high level is most prone to long upper shadow shakeouts.
This is not the time to chase longs; better to wait for a pullback near 1530 to confirm, rather than heavily betting on a breakout at the high.$BTC: Don't be tamed by the candlestick chart
Yesterday cleared shorts, today swept longs, the table just changed the guards. 84,000 is the short-term face; if it holds, it can grind; if it doesn't, the 153,000 spike at midnight won't be a joke.
The main force knows how to feed habits best: as soon as it hits 82,000, it falls back, shorting feels like picking up money. When you treat the previous high of 82,800 as a switch, it reverses and pulls to 87,000, turning all shorts into fuel.
If the next round pulls back, the candlestick will most likely draw a "75,000 iron bottom" again, luring retail investors to heavily buy in, then smash it down further. Er Gou's view: if you really want to buy in, do it in batches around 70,000, which is more comfortable than chasing the candlestick.
This time really lost badly, first control your hands, don't open orders recklessly. $BTC How long does it take to turn 1000 yuan into 100,000 in the crypto world?
My answer is simple: theoretically possible, but definitely not by wishful thinking, nor by going all-in at once. It depends on opportunity, timing, and execution.
First method: Seize the real big trend. Mathematically, if 1000 yuan catches two consecutive 10x opportunities, it can reach 100,000. But the real challenge is not solving this math problem; it’s whether you have the ability to spot opportunities early, hold on as it rises 2x or 3x according to plan, and whether you are willing to cash out once the profit is truly realized.
Second method: Accumulate slowly by rolling positions. This path suits most small capital investors. Don’t chase opportunities every day; what’s really worth doing are clearer market conditions like stabilization after a sharp drop, a trend just reversing, or a volume breakout at a key level. Start with small positions to test; if the direction is wrong, exit promptly. Once the trend is confirmed, consider gradually increasing your position with profits. For example, with 50,000 capital, only use a small portion each time, locking in risk per trade in advance. Even if you misjudge several times in a row, it won’t directly damage your account’s foundation. Once you truly catch a trend, let the profits roll up slowly.
Many people fail not because the market lacks opportunities, but because when their capital is still small, they get impatient—scaling up after a small gain and rushing to recover losses after a small setback.
Turning 1000 yuan into 100,000 is not just about "steady can do it." What’s truly worth learning is how to first protect your 1000, then gradually amplify the results. The market never lacks opportunities; it lacks patience, rules, and people who can truly keep their profits.$BTC needs three things to validate a breakout.
Net taker buying
Expanding coin-denominated OI
Continued ETF inflows
A close below $77,100 invalidates the structure, exposing the True Market Mean at $76,677. $MINA current price 0.1565, 24h surge of 26.31%, but trading volume only 5.1M USDT, funding rate -0.0943% — this means shorts are paying longs, indicating crowded shorts in the futures market while spot volume hasn't kept up. MA5=0.14418 has crossed above MA20=0.134505, MACD histogram +0.001871 maintains bullishness, trend structure intact; but RSI=84.7 has entered extreme overbought territory, price 0.1565 directly broke above Bollinger upper band 0.149327, 30 candlesticks amplitude 24.86%, very high wick risk. Fear & Greed Index 78, extreme greed combined with negative funding rate, a typical late-stage short squeeze feature: shorts are forced to cover pushing price up, but once funding rate turns positive and liquidation clears, a pullback will be quick. Directionally, I remain bullish but won’t chase highs, waiting for a pullback near MA5 to enter.
Entry reference 0.1440–0.1480 (MA5 support + Bollinger upper band pullback confirmation); Take profit 1 at 0.1650 (previous high extension, first target after RSI overbought surge); Take profit 2 at 0.1780 (amplitude expansion by 1x estimate); Stop loss at 0.1380 (break below MA5 and approaching MA20, bullish structure fails). Also watch concurrently: $XRP above MA5, RSI 68.1 relatively strong; $SAGA with bearish moving averages, RSI 47.3 clearly weak, funds prefer to stay in stronger assets.$ZEC long-short ratio ~0.53, indicating there is still large amount of short fuel in the market.
The extreme long-short ratio is because retail investors are shorting a market that has already proven it can squeeze shorts by saying "too expensive"
From last year's low, it has already risen >20x. On-chain realized price is only ~328, while current price is close to 4.5x the cost. Many traders naturally feel this increase will eventually be given back, so every round of rise sees people continuMy judgment is that this round has already passed the initial rebound phase and entered the breakthrough acceleration and capital diffusion stage. There is currently no clear top signal, but the most comfortable low point has already passed. $BTC $ETH $ZEC are now roughly in the third step of the entire rebound. The first step was the panic clearance from 58,000 to 67,000, where the market did not believe in the bottom and chips quietly changed hands at low levels. The second step was the trend recovery from 63,000 to 82,000, with BTC retaking the medium- to long-term moving averages and shorts covering, but most people still treated it as a bear market rebound. The third step is now, from 75,000 to 87,000, where missed funds start chasing the rally. After BTC stabilizes at a high level, funds spread to ETH, SOL, and altcoins, and the profit-making effect clearly heats up. However, the third step could either lead to the main rise or form a stage top. If BTC breaks through 88,000 with volume and then retests 85,000 without breaking down, it will be considered entering the fourth step, with a chance to challenge 90,000 to 96,000 later. Conversely, if it rallies high but then falls back below 82,000 or even loses 80,000, the crazier the altcoin catch-up rally, the more cautious one should be as this is the emotional release at the end of the rebound. From 126,200 down to 57,800, 84,000 corresponds to the 38.2% retracement level, and 92,000 corresponds to the 50% retracement level. The first barrier has been broken; the real pressure zone is from 88,000 to 92,000. Currently, altcoins are collectively catching up, indicating risk appetite is spreading, but BTC's market dominance is still close to 59%, more like capital overflow after a breakthrough, and it cannot yet be defined as a full altcoin season. Next, just watch a few positions to hold above 8.$ETH is not a cheaper $ZEC. It is a different claim: fees, staking, and product flow.
Those flows confirm while Bitcoin holds. Catch-up can be real, not just a squeeze.
$BTC is firm and $ETH still lags with dead fees and dead products. That lag is information.
Do not average down because the logo is familiar.
Duration without flow is just a slower dump.
#BTC87KCryptoCap3T From the chessboard perspective, $AAVE has reached a typical "baiting the enemy deep" position. Currently at $95.24, up 4.68% in 24H, it appears Black is actively advancing, but true experts focus on the piece structure—short-term RSI has surged to 70.4, entering the overbought zone, while the long-term RSI is only 55.9, indicating mid-game momentum hasn't kept up. This is not strength; it's an overextended pawn chain.
More critically is the Bollinger Bands position. The short-term price has already hit beyond the upper band, with a position reading of 132%, just -1.1% shy of the upper band, while the lower band is +4.9% away—this means the price has been forcibly pulled out of statistical boundaries, a classic "out-of-bounds lone soldier" without rear piece support. The mid-term Bollinger Bands position is 66%, with upper and lower band spaces only 5.8% and 2.8%, showing that the longer the time dimension, the less sustainable this move is.
The signal given is SELL, which is exactly the tactical window I want. My entry point is set at $97.99, 2.9% above the current price, forcing the opponent to make one more useless move while I complete the counterattack setup at a higher position. The first take-profit target is $87.10, corresponding to an 8.5% drop; the second target is $90.03, corresponding to a 5.5% drop. These two targets form a stepped capture, first taking out the opponent's active pieces, then securing the remaining space.
Stop loss is placed at $109.29, 14.8% above the current price—this is not set arbitrarily but is the only counterattack route left for the opponent. If the price really crosses this line, it means the mid-game judgment was wrong, and I will not hesitate to concede defeat, never clinging to the fight. A true grandmaster doesn't avoid losing but loses only a pawn when they do.
In terms of position management, I am using a light position to probe because the 4.68% 24H rise has already consumed too much bullish momentum; the short-term RSI is overbought while the long-term is neutral, a typical "superficial offense, hollow inside." In the endgame, whoever loses composure first will be checkmated first.
📉 Short:
Entry: $97.99 (current price +2.9%)
Take Profit 1: $87.10 (-8.5%)
Take Profit 2: $90.03 (-5.5%)
Stop Loss: $109.29 (+14.8%) #strategyplaybookI only looked at the blueprints of $YGG for three minutes before deciding to pull out of the site. It's not because it's cheap—the unit price of $0.02 looks like land on the outskirts of a third-tier city. The problem lies in its structural mechanics being fundamentally unsound.
First, look at the 24-hour data: it rose 6.31%. It sounds like concrete that just had its formwork removed hastily after pouring, without completing the curing period. More critically, the short-term RSI has surged to 74.3, a typical overbought zone, equivalent to a floor slab with seriously excessive reinforcement ratio, which will crack brittlely under load. Meanwhile, the long-term RSI is only 38.6, neutral to slightly cold—the stress distribution across these two timeframes is completely disconnected, indicating the building’s settlement monitoring data is fake. The short-term rebound is just a visual height created by scaffolding.
The Bollinger Bands are even more straightforward. The short-term price is already at 102%, exceeding the upper band by 0.1%—the structure is completely cantilevered out with no supporting anchors. The mid-term is at 71%, only 3.1% clearance from the upper band, and the load-bearing walls have started to show shear cracks. In my professional experience, this pattern has only one outcome: a pullback to the lower band for structural backfilling. The lower band has 7.3% room to settle from the current level, and the mid and lower bands have an 8.5% buffer—enough.
Here is my short construction plan.
📉 Short:
Entry: $0.02 (current price +3.8%, i.e., wait for a rebound to the unremoved scaffolding level before entering, no chasing highs)
Take Profit 1: $0.02 (-7.8%, at the first ring beam position)
Take Profit 2: $0.02 (-10.4%, directly to the Bollinger lower band foundation)
Stop Loss: $0.02 (+16.2%, crossing this line means the original geological survey report is completely invalid)
The logic of this plan is: I don’t buy blueprints at floor price; I short volatility at the critical point of structural failure. Entry is set 3.8% above the current price to avoid the inertia shock of the 6.31% residual heat; stop loss is set beyond 16.2% to allow enough construction error margin—if it can’t withstand this displacement, it means the project party hasn’t even properly installed the pile foundation. The two take profit levels correspond to 7.8% and 10.4% settlement, just covering the short-term moving average’s regression needs.
The most typical problem with projects like $YGG is the separation of community foundation and token economy load-bearing walls. The skyscraper drawn in the whitepaper ends up as just a frame structure on the ground, with even the exterior curtain wall being just a texture. The combination of short-term overbought and long-term neutral is something I’ve seen too many times—bottom-fishers think they’re getting a bargain, but they’re actually taking over an unfinished, abandoned project without completion acceptance.

#OKXOrbitTopics #CryptoTreasuriesBuy #DailyOrbit #200 Yuan Challenge to 1 Million Phase 2 · Day 6
Today is the first full trading day after transitioning to both long and short positions, and also the most comfortable day in these past few days.
Account: Total assets 105.74, today +8.74 (+9.01%).
I’m fully disclosing the three trades I made today:
$GRASS Long: Opened at 0.4281, closed at 0.4617, +2.21 (+15.46%). This is the first long position I took after the transition—before, I would just watch it rise and then look for the next coin to short. Today, I captured this 15.46% gain.
$ETHW Short: Opened at 0.3074, closed at 0.2974, +0.86 (+6.35%). Short positions still work; when the direction is right, it’s profit.
$MUBARAK Long: Opened at 0.0712, closed at 0.0672, -1.59 (-11.21%). I misjudged this one and stopped out within 3 minutes—an 11% loss, but it doesn’t hurt because the leverage was only 2x.
Looking at these three trades together shows the meaning of my transition: two longs, one short, two wins and one loss, netting +8.74. If I had stuck to "only shorting," two of these trades wouldn’t have existed today, and that 15.46% gain wouldn’t have been mine.
I know many people are still calling me a "traitor" and saying I’ve betrayed my original intention. What I want to say remains the same: I’m here in this market to make money, not to cling to the identity of "being a short seller." I follow the market direction—long when it goes up, short when it goes down.
More importantly, today’s +8.74 was earned with 2x leverage, proper stop-losses, and disciplined trading. No 20x leverage, no all-in bets, no gambling. I don’t want to repeat the craziness of blowing up three times in one day like a few days ago.
Slow is fine. Starting over from 10 dollars, today at 105.74 yuan (about 15 dollars). The direction is right, leverage is low, stop-losses are set—this is the path I can keep walking.
Let’s chat in the comments: do you think my transition is "betrayal" or "awakening"? I want to hear different voices 🤝
Always use stop-loss, low leverage, position management, and full disclosure of holdings. For reference only, not investment advice. #BTC冲高$87000，加密总市值重返3万亿 #Strategy再度增持，财库同步加仓 #财报观察员：好市多Q4财报即将公布 Didn't make any judgment, just held on a bit longer, didn't expect it to really show respect. During the bottom consolidation, $PUMP support didn't break, buying pressure strengthened, I advised to go long and not to move the long positions recklessly.
From 0.004005 to 0.004442, +544.31%, the wait was worth it. Took the big profit first, locked in 70% gains, kept 30% at cost price for protection, moved the stop loss closer to cost price.
As long as the trend isn't broken, hold on; if it breaks, run—don't fall in love with stocks. The premise of compounding is survival; the shortcut to getting rich often leads to zero.
For those who haven't gotten in yet, a word of advice: don't chase, wait for a new structure to form.
$ETH $SOL 2707 is today's defense line, but don't mistake a single needle for a breach
The 24-hour low for $ETH on September 22 was $2706.87. This level naturally becomes a short-term focus, but support is never a wall precise to the decimal point. A brief dip below 2707 followed by an immediate recovery is completely different from a volume-driven break below that stays suppressed for a long time.
The former is more like clearing stop losses: trading systems and high-leverage positions concentrate at obvious lows, and a brief penetration can release liquidity. The latter indicates a failed support: those willing to buy retreat, and the original low turns into resistance for a rebound. The key to judgment is time, volume, and recovery speed, not whether 2706 appears.
If $ETH retests around 2700, I will first look for a higher low on the minute chart, then see if the rebound can surpass 2755. Only if the downside holds and the upside recovers simultaneously does the range truly lean bullish. Holding a single number alone only means the bears haven't broken through yet.
Placing stop losses where everyone can see them but leaving no room for volatility often results in the market teaching a precise lesson. 2707 is worth watching, but don't worship it. The essence of support is sustained buying, not a thin line drawn on the candlestick chart. Only those willing to continuously buy have the right to name 2707.#BTC surges to $87,000, total crypto market cap returns to 3 trillion
The $87,000 price was pushed up by a short squeeze, but this time it's different from before—the spot ETF is buying simultaneously, creating a resonance between the short squeeze and spot buying for the first time.
The trigger chain is clear: after the Fed raised interest rates by 25 basis points, the rate path signal was milder than the market expected, restoring risk appetite. After breaking through 82,000, intense short liquidations were triggered—the 84,000 to 85,000 range was a previously marked strong liquidation zone, and continuous BTC breakthroughs formed a positive feedback loop of forced short covering.
But this time there is spot buying to absorb it. On September 21, the US spot Bitcoin ETF had a net inflow of about $1 billion in a single day, with Fidelity's FBTC contributing $311 million and BlackRock's IBIT $108 million, one of the largest single-day inflows in nearly a year. Overnight Bitcoin short liquidations exceeded $900 million, while open interest contracts actually increased from 685,600 BTC to 717,400 BTC. Shorts were liquidated, new leverage entered, and ETFs were buying simultaneously.
The short squeeze explains "why it rose so fast," and ETF inflows explain "why it didn't fall back." Above $87,000, the test is whether spot buyers are willing to continue chasing. Perpetual contract open interest has reached $160 billion, the highest since October last year, with leverage density rising. Watch two signals—the ETF's ability to maintain continuous inflows in the hundreds of millions, and a volume-backed hold above $87,000. Both are present, indicating a trend; if one is missing, it's just the aftershock of a squeeze.In the past, trading crypto was about watching K-lines; now it's about looking at financial reports.
Making $491 million in a month, not by running a company, but by issuing stablecoins.
Tether allocates users' $183.3 billion deposits into short-term government bonds and reverse repos, earning interest passively. It ranked first among the top ten most profitable crypto protocols in September, crushing most Wall Street financial institutions.
Circle earned $200 million in a month, relying on government bond interest plus cross-chain bridge fees. With a P/S of only 10.6, it's considered honest in the crypto circle.
Hyperliquid made $60.6 million in a month, but the most impressive part isn't how much it earned—99% of the fees are directly used to repurchase and burn HYPE on the secondary market. Earning while burning, the more it burns, the more valuable it becomes.
Pump.fun earned $54.4 million in a month, with a P/S of just 3.13. Token issuance fees plus matching taxes make it a pure traffic-harvesting machine.
Before, whoever told the best story would see their coin rise; now, whoever truly makes money sees their coin rise. The market has started pricing cash flow instead of narratives.
These four ways of making money are completely different, but every penny is real money, not supported by faith.
That's why I always say don't just look at K-lines. K-lines can deceive, but cash flow won't.
When choosing coins now, do you look at the story or the income?

This time there is barely any selling to absorb.Recently, while organizing the healthcare industry, I realized I had two misconceptions about this industry in the past: (1) Simply equating the number of patients with the market; (2) Simply considering the approval and launch of an innovative drug as the moat of a pharmaceutical company. Moreover, these two misconceptions are not unique to me. While browsing the Xueqiu community, I found that many investors holding Eli Lilly, AstraZeneca, and those following the pharmaceutical sector generally share similar understandings. However, from the moment a drug concept is proposed in the laboratory to when it actually reaches the patient's body, it must go through a series of stages including clinical trials, production, diagnosis, cold chain logistics, insurance reimbursement, and pharmacy delivery. If any one of these stages is blocked, the theoretical market size cannot translate into real-world usage scenarios. Therefore, what determines the value and moat of a healthcare company is its position at key stages and the cost required to replace it. If it is involved in a certain stage but the upstream and downstream channels are not smooth enough, even if the business it operates has a large potential market, that remains just theoretical data. This report does not discuss valuation or pile up financial data. I aim only to clarify this industry map and then list one or two companies in each segment to explain exactly how they make money. For the US healthcare sector, this report basically makes everything clear. First, let's clarify the entire picture of the healthcare industry. If we lay out the entire process from a patient falling ill to receiving treatment, the healthcare industry can roughly be divided into two layers. The first layer consists of companies directly facing diseases. They provide drugs, devices, and diagnostic products, and their value mainlyMVRV has climbed back above the 365-day moving average, and Glassnode says this signal appeared in the previous two bull markets.
I've been watching this line for a while, feeling frustrated.
In the 2019 wave and the 2023 wave, when the signal appeared, the price was indeed at a low point and did rise afterward. But the problem is, from my memory—after these two signals flashed, the market consolidated for a while before really taking off. It didn't just rise as if a switch was flipped.
Right now, this position is neither high nor low. The signal is there, but what about the volume? Has on-chain activity kept up? Has new money come in?
Glassnode only tells you how it behaved historically, not whether it will be the same this time. I tend to think: the signal is real, but don't treat it as a starting gun.
The signal is for those with patience, not for those chasing the rally.
I'll hold back for now.

#美国加密税收与BTC储备法案获推进 #美联储10月再加息概率破55% $ZEC No rollback, no destruction! The toughest hardcore interpretation of the CORE 8.31 incident: technical bleeding stopped successfully, but did the secondary market bury a permanent landmine?
⚠️This article is based solely on publicly available on-chain information and does not constitute any investment advice.
The most attractive narrative in the BTCFi sector used to be the top-level security guarantee relying on Bitcoin’s computing power. But the CORE 8.31 reward contract vulnerability incident revealed a harsh truth: Bitcoin’s computing power protects the underlying ledger but cannot protect the upper-layer business code; a hard fork can block future vulnerabilities but cannot erase the legacy risk of tokens already leaked.
Complete incident process
On August 31, a logical flaw appeared in the CORE validator node reward distribution contract. A few malicious validator nodes exploited the vulnerability to repeatedly claim block rewards, mining tokens that were originally supposed to be released slowly over decades in just a few days. Once the incident broke out, multiple exchanges urgently suspended CORE deposits and withdrawals, and market panic quickly escalated.
The project team immediately clarified: ordinary users’ funds were not stolen, the vulnerability was limited to the block reward distribution module; the total hard cap of 2.1 billion tokens was not breached, no new tokens were minted out of thin air, only future tokens were released prematurely.
Then the project team initiated a forward hard fork (v1.0.26), which was the most critical decision in the entire incident: only fixing future code, no rollback of historical transactions, and no destruction of excess tokens already transferred to external wallets.
After the hard fork was completed, new blocks executed the new reward rules, malicious nodes could no longer repeatedly claim excess rewards, and the network continued producing blocks, technically stopping the bleeding successfully.
However, about 69 million CORE tokens that had already been withdrawn by attackers and transferred to external wallets remain permanently in circulation, known in the market as ghost chips.
Why did the project team choose no rollback and no destruction?
The project’s consideration essentially involved a trade-off between the "public chain decentralization narrative" and the "interests of secondary market token holders."
1. Fear of being accused of centralized ledger tampering
The fundamental blockchain principle is that once the ledger is on-chain, it cannot be arbitrarily altered. If transactions were forcibly rolled back or tokens at specific addresses destroyed, the project would be suspected of arbitrarily modifying on-chain assets, causing the decentralization narrative to collapse.
2. Inability to distinguish innocent secondary market holders from original attackers
Some excess tokens have already circulated on-chain, and wallet addresses cannot identify whether holders are the original attackers or ordinary users who bought later in the secondary market. A blanket destruction would harm innocent users and trigger bigger disputes.
In short, the project’s choice was to preserve network operation and the decentralization story at the cost of certainty in the token release curve.
Technical bleeding stopped successfully ≠ secondary market risk eliminated
The hard fork solved the acute crisis of "continued excess token issuance" but planted a permanent landmine of tokens hanging over the market.
The total supply cap remains 2.1 billion tokens, but the token release schedule is completely disrupted. Tokens originally released slowly over decades were dumped into the circulating market all at once. These ghost chips have extremely low cost, no lock-up constraints, and are concentrated in a few wallets.
As long as the BTCFi sector rallies and token prices rise, large holders of these tokens have a strong incentive to cash out, and the price rally process is easily met with continuous selling pressure. Institutional funds building valuation models require a stable and predictable token release curve; this risk of tokens that can be dumped anytime is unquantifiable, causing risk control to outright reject it, which is the core reason institutions avoid CORE.
Another point not to be ignored: CORE’s ecosystem data is inflated; 125 DApps rely heavily on mining subsidies, many on-chain addresses are one-time interaction “airdrop” accounts, the ecosystem’s native transaction fees are weak, lacking fundamental support. Staking rewards paid in CORE tokens tie returns deeply to token price, making it difficult to attract large BTC holders for long-term commitment.
To understand this matter with Marx’s words: a single practical action is worth more than a dozen programs.
The project team continuously posts reassuring updates on social platforms, repeatedly emphasizing normal network operation, which is a beautiful "program propaganda."
But what the market truly expects is practical action to properly handle the ghost chips. Only blocking future vulnerabilities without solving the legacy token problem means no amount of announcements can restore market trust.
How to view CORE from a game theory perspective
CORE’s opportunity only comes from pulse rallies driven by sentiment rotation in the BTCFi sector. EVM compatibility and a large retail base give it strong short-term explosive power when hot.
But it is only suitable for very small position short-term speculation with strict take-profit and stop-loss, never for long-term holding. Heavy and long-term holdings easily become the bag holders of ghost chips during price rallies.
Three major follow-up tracking indicators: large wallet transfers of ghost chips, on-chain native BTC staking amounts, and ecosystem TVL changes. Once large token transfers out occur continuously, positions should be decisively reduced.
Summary: The hard fork completed technical bleeding stop, and the network no longer repeatedly suffers reward vulnerabilities. But the choice of no rollback and no destruction leaves 69 million ghost chips permanently in circulation. Technical issues can be fixed, but the trust fracture in token supply is very difficult to repair.SanDisk almost blew me up just now, and this time it gave it back to me, really a slap ✋, then handed it back to me again?
The previous two short positions were forcibly blown up, my mindset almost collapsed.
Just saw it surge near 1908, clearly stagnating at a high level, the 15-minute candlestick closed with a long upper shadow, and the MACD red bars started to shorten, so I decisively reversed and took a short near 1907.
Now the price has fallen back to 1847, floating profit +12.65U, this pullback basically repaid the previous losses with interest.
Judging by this momentum, the upper Bollinger Band pressure is still heavy, the lower EMA20 is around 1816, so in the short term it probably still needs to seek a bottom downward.
Brothers, where do you think I can hold this position until?
Should I keep holding and wait for a break below 1850, or take profits now?
This roller coaster ride today, really impressive.

A Garrett Jin-linked wallet closed its entire ~38K ZEC short, helping ZEC climb ~2.7% during the unwind. But here's what caught my attention: it reportedly kept ~202K ZEC spot.
That suggests the short may have been partly a hedge, not simply a failed bearish bet.
With NU7 approaching and funding still elevated, ZEC's next battle may be less bulls vs bears and more leverage vs fundamentals.
$ZEC Is it still worth buying Bitcoin spot now? When will the bull market peak?
From the weekly smart money structure perspective, the current price is at the end of a rebound/liquidity grab phase below a strong resistance zone.
There are two possible approaches to consider:
1. Left-side dip buying (better risk-reward ratio): place staggered orders in the demand zones
• First tier (aggressive averaging down): $78,000 - $81,000
• Corresponds to the recent minor breakout zone and weekly breakout gap in the chart (around iOB 36%). If there is a healthy pullback and stabilization here, allocate 20% - 30% of your position.
• Second tier (steady main position): $70,000 - $73,000
• Corresponds to the demand accumulation zone above the previous major bottom (green box and BPR/FVG area). If a deep pullback occurs here, it is a very solid mid-to-long-term spot accumulation range.
2. Right-side trend following: wait for the weekly candle to close decisively above $97,000
• If bulls are extremely strong, with continuous volume expansion and a full weekly candle close above the upper edge of the $97,000 FVG/iOB, it indicates the market has completely absorbed the short supply and confirmed a new major bull market structure. At that time, buying spot on a pullback to $95,000 - $97,000 is recommended, targeting the liquidity pool above $110,000 (EQH).MUBARAK this wave is indeed a bit crazy.
It surged from around 0.03x to near 0.07, with a very exaggerated short-term increase. I myself paid the tuition in this wave of the market — the previous order already blew about 80U, and now this order is a 10x short, opening price 0.069727.
So first, let me say upfront: this is not a call to short, nor a suggestion for everyone to follow the trade, just a record of my own trading logic.
My current core judgment is:
I think MUBARAK may continue to surge in the short term, but from a larger price structure perspective, a return to the 0.04x area later is not impossible.
The reasons are simple:
1. This round of rise is too fast, clearly deviating from the previous normal trading range;
2. The rise of Meme coins largely depends on sentiment and capital, and once new funds fail to keep up, the pullback speed is usually very fast;
3. The area near 0.04x is actually a price range with real previous trades, not just a random guess;
4. Currently, funding rates, trading volume, and sentiment are quite extreme, so I am more concerned about how long the capital relay can continue.
My expected path is roughly:
Around 0.0735 → failed to break higher → 0.06 → 0.055 → 0.052 → 0.047~0.04x
Of course, this is just my trading hypothesis Why is crypto watching Costco's $4.99 chicken? 🍗
Retail metrics reflect U.S. consumer stamina. Strong spending signals sticky inflation, keeping rate cuts on hold and draining risk-asset liquidity. Softening retail numbers hint at central bank easing, sparking early momentum across digital assets.

The concern isn’t simply the reported $122M position size—it’s the concentration around a similar entry zone. If $DOGE slips toward $0.098, many recent longs could move from profit toward breakeven, while a deeper pullback could increase selling pressurBrothers, tonight with Hynix, I finally got a feeling of "understanding the market in advance."
I had already positioned myself around 186 in advance, and when the market opened tonight, there was no time to hesitate; it just surged straight up, reaching as high as around 196.
The most satisfying thing isn’t how much it rose, but that the position I took in advance happened to coincide exactly with the moment when capital started to exert force.
I’ve been watching Hynix these days, not because it rises every day, but because I increasingly realize that the market is no longer just speculating on the price of storage chips, but on the real demand behind AI computing power. Tonight, the Korean market’s chip sector strengthened overall, and SK Hynix was also driven by optimistic AI sentiment. (Yonhap News Agency)
But after rising to 196, I won’t get excited to the point of losing reason.
Because the real challenge is never just getting it right once, but whether you can maintain your rhythm after the rise.
Daring to position at 186, daring to hold at 196, what I care about next is: is this wave just a short-term capital acceleration, or the start of a new trend for Hynix?
Personally, I won’t change my logic just because of one big bullish candle.
This stock may have just entered the truly interesting phase. #AI降速争议未退，算力投入继续加码 #闪迪纳入标普100，焦点转向AI需求 $SNDK $MU A hot piece of knowledge: Tron’s fees are clearly much higher than those of $ARB, $OP, and other L2s, yet it has become an important hub for global stablecoin settlements.
The reason is simple: many exchanges, wallets, and payment channels only support TRC20 USDT.
According to DefiLlama data, the scale of Tron stablecoins is about $94.5 billion, of which USDT accounts for about $92.6 billion, nearly 98%.
The problem is that such a large amount of dollar liquidity has mostly just been sitting on-chain for transfers and settlements, generating no yield.
Now Ethena is starting to target this market.
On September 11, USDe and sUSDe officially launched on Tron, and JustLend, SUN.io, as well as wallets, exchanges, and payment applications are expected to integrate later.
This means Tron handles dollar liquidity, while Ethena turns this portion of assets into yield-generating assets.
Tron has over 403 million accounts and more than 15 billion cumulative transactions, with a stablecoin volume large enough.
So what’s really worth watching this time is not that USDe supports one more chain, but whether Ethena can capture the huge stablecoin traffic on Tron.
ENA has recently strengthened noticeably; the key next step is to see if it can break its previous high.
If USDe on Tron really takes off, this wave for $ENA won’t just be an emotional rebound but a fundamental narrative continuation.The first time I encountered this

I looked for a long time but didn’t dare to buy.

sideways enough to make me scratch my head.
I sold it and it went up,
chased it and it went down.

I didn’t make money,
and lost a lot of sleep.
Now I only use a little spare money,
if I lose it won’t affect my meals,
and if I earn, I’ll treat myself to a chicken leg.
I’m not jealous when others show profits,
nor do I laugh when others get liquidated.

Don’t use leverage.
Don’t use living expenses.

If you can’t, just stay away.

The market punishes all kinds of arrogance, especially those who think they’re the smartest. Better to miss a limit-up than to catch a falling knife and end up bleeding.
Waiting for a more comfortable position in the next round, will move only when the next signal appears.
$XRP $LAB BTC = $86k — the May high of $82.9k has been surpassed. And on the charts, the situation is starting to change. Since October 2025, we’ve had a clear downtrend: every rally ended with a lower high. But now, for the first time, we’ve broken this structure and surpassed the previous high. And here’s the most interesting part—historically, it’s precisely this kind of structural breakout that has marked the end of bear cycles. In other words, purely from a technical perspective, we’re now seeing a pWhy do you always fall for "fake breakouts"? Explaining with information asymmetry and the "lemon market"
In crypto trading, many people often encounter this scenario: a certain token suddenly surges with volume, breaking through a key resistance level, with excellent candlestick patterns and overwhelming positive community sentiment. But as soon as you place an order to chase, a large bearish candle "pin bar" appears, trapping you at a high price.
Beyond the technical fake breakout trap, from an economic perspective, this is actually a real-world validation of extreme information asymmetry and the lemon market effect.
Nobel laureate Akerlof proposed that when there is severe information asymmetry between buyers and sellers, sellers holding inferior assets will use packaging and hype to attract buyers who lack the ability to obtain information to buy at high prices.
In the crypto secondary market, this game is especially brutal:
Hidden chip distribution: whales and market makers hold huge amounts of low-cost chips, controlling first-hand on-chain liquidity and selling points, while retail investors can only rely on delayed public candlestick charts and community news.
The damage of adverse selection: the seemingly attractive "fake breakout" is essentially a liquidity trap actively created by the advantaged party. Market makers use volume to lure buyers, creating illusions at resistance levels to stimulate opponent buy orders, thereby quietly escaping with heavy profit positions.
Reflection on trading discipline:
When you receive news of a "certain breakout," the information has often already decayed multiple times, and you may be the liquidity provider at the bottom of the chain.
To trade breakouts, you must strictly adhere to the fake breakout stop-loss line, use strict position management to counter inherent information disadvantages, and not mistake the opponent's "selling liquidity" for your own "golden entry point" $BTC You calculated very precisely; this address is a typical buy-more-as-it-rises type.
Let me help you reconcile the accounts:
*This time:*
4500 $ETH x ∼2750 USD = 12.38 million, which matches the number you mentioned. It should be the recent buy when $ETH rebounded from 2685 support to 2750.
*Previously:*
37,000 x 1922 average price = 71.13 million cost
Now 37,000 x 2750 current price = 101.7 million
Unrealized profit = 101.7 million - 71.13 million = *30.62 million*, so your 30 million+ is correct.
*The two key points you reminded are very professional:*
*1. Unrealized profit is not cash*
This 30 million is just a book figure now. $ETH at 2750 is following $BTC in the 85.6K-87.4K range. If BTC dips back to 84K→82K, and $ETH falls to 2685 or even 2600, this 30 million could shrink by 5-8 million in a day. No sale means it doesn't count.
*2. Cost basis is rising*
First at 1922, second at 2750, the average price is pulled up. Calculate the new average:
(37000×1922 + 4500×2750) / 41500 = *∼2011 USD*
Cost basis rose from 1922 to 2011, the safety margin thinned, indicating he is truly bullish, not just trading swings. Those who shouted 90,000 last night are quiet today 🤫
BTC plunged from 87,374 straight down to 85,770, ETH dropped from 2,806 back to 2,751, and SOL couldn't hold either, dipping down to 117.9. The screen is full of red; those who were shouting bull market yesterday are collectively silent today.
I opened a short position on ETH at 2,781.8, now at 2,749, with an unrealized profit of +114%. Just over thirty dollars, not much. But this feeling, it's out.
Let you chase the highs, let you talk about faith at the peak. The market never lacks moments like this—when prices rise, everyone is an analyst; when they fall, everyone claims they saw it coming early.
Not rushing to close. This wave of sell-off looks like it’s just beginning. As long as it dares to rebound to 2,780, I dare to add to the short. But the stop loss has been moved to breakeven; whether I make more or less profit, the principal must be protected. In this market, you must always leave a way out.
Tonight, the bulls won’t be able to sleep.
$BTC $ETH $ZEC #BTC #ETH #ZEC #Coldcard安全事件升级，第四波攻击预警 Many traders reflexively short when they see the price close to the upper Bollinger Band, labeling it as overbought, but they overlook that when moving averages are in a bullish alignment, the upper band is repeatedly pushed higher—this is a typical case of applying a range-bound mindset to a trending market.
$XRP Current price is 1.5679, MA5=1.56036 has firmly stood above MA20=1.53626, with short- and mid-term moving averages showing a bullish structure. A pullback that does not break below MA5 is considered a strong consolidation. The MACD histogram reports +0.001573, maintaining the bullish zone; momentum is not explosive but the direction is clear. RSI=65.5 is relatively strong but has not reached the 70 overbought threshold, leaving room for further upside. The Bollinger Bands [1.49459, 1.57792] upper band is right overhead, and the price running along the upper band is a typical characteristic of a trending market rather than a top signal. What needs caution is that the Fear and Greed Index at 78 is in the extreme greed zone, and the funding rate of +0.0100% indicates the bulls are slightly crowded, making the risk of chasing higher greater than the risk of a pullback. CZ's core points in the Hong Kong speech are twofold: stablecoins as a vehicle for RMB going global, and RWA on-chain focusing on stocks and bonds. CME plans to launch BCH and UNI futures in October, opening a compliant channel for altcoins. The central bank strictly blocks overseas institutions from providing virtual currency services domestically, and stablecoins pegged to RMB are also prohibited from issuance abroad.

But on CoinGlass, there is dense liquidation between 0.0255 and 0.0260, with heavy long positions stacked and obvious selling pressure above. This golden cross may be a bull trap. Chasing longs in an overbought state is just fueling the liquidation zone.
The bias is bearish. Enter short lightly between 0.0266 and 0.0268, take profit first target at 0.0255, second target at 0.0248. Set stop loss at 0.0275; if broken, admit the mistake and exit.

@OKX星球 Your summary of this logic is very accurate; this is exactly where gold is most counterintuitive right now.
Traditional textbooks say: *Hike interest rates by 25bp → Real interest rates ↑ → Gold ↓*
But this time Standard Chartered is right, the correlation has broken. At the beginning of the year, the expectation was two rate cuts and gold at 4500; now rates have been hiked and there is still an expectation of another hike within the year, yet gold is holding above 4300, indicating the pricing logic has changed.
*Why hasn't it dropped sharply? The three points you mentioned are the answer:*
*1. The buyers have changed*
Previously, speculators looked at real interest rates; now central banks are buying to de-dollarize. Central banks don’t focus on 25bp moves, they focus on currency depreciation risk. This is structural buying, not trading; when prices drop, someone steps in.
*2. The supply is not squeezed*
Gold ETFs have just seen inflows, speculative long positions are not heavy. You might expect a long liquidation after a rate hike, but not many can sell, so selling pressure is limited.
*3. The narrative has changed*
The market is no longer trading on "rate cuts," but on "safe haven + depreciation." Like you said, $BTC hitting 87K and crypto market cap returning to 3 trillion, funds are betting on fiat purchasing power decline.
*My view:*
In the short term, your target ⚠️ is correct, *a stronger dollar is the biggest suppressor.* The probability of a Fed hike in October is over 55%; when the dollar strengthens, gold will definitely have a pulse-like pullback, possibly down to 4200-4150.
But in the medium term, your target ✅ is right, *the downside is locked.* Central bank gold purchases plus ETF inflows are supporting the bottom. Standard Chartered expects a Q4 average price of 4650, which I think is reasonable; a pullback is a buying opportunity, I almost missed it at first, then noticed BCH showing up among the strongest gainers. When older, high-beta altcoins start making aggressive moves, it can sometimes signal that momentum is spreading into the later stages of a rally. That doesn’t automatically mean the market is finished, but it does raise the risk of a sharp pullback. ⚠️ For now, I’m watching whether BTC can hold its recent breakout and whether ETH and major alts continue attracting buyers. If momentum fades quickly after this s
