Long and Short Crowding List
$IOST negative fee rate is at a historical sample low, with shorts bearing the settlement cost: current rate -0.5889%, at the 5th percentile among the most recent 100 single settlement samples; total settled fee rate in the past 24 hours over 6 times is -2.495%; price down 0.59%, position value change -0.09%.
$SNDK positive fee rate is at a historical sample high, with longs bearing relatively high settlement costs: current rate +0.0413%, at the 98th percentile among the most recent 100 single settlement samples; total settled fee rate in the past 24 hours over 3 times is +0.066%; price down 0.02%, position value change +0.43%. At the current fee rate settlement, funding fees are paid by longs to shorts, with the current rate higher than most historical single settlement samples. Price decline coexists with long-side payment, meaning longs face both weakening prices and funding fee costs.
$ZEC negative fee rate is at a historical sample low, with shorts bearing the settlement cost: current rate -0.0330%, at the 0th percentile among the most recent 100 single settlement samples; total settled fee rate in the past 24 hours over 3 times is -0.005%; price down 0.004%, position value change -0.26%.
IOST, ZEC: At the current fee rate settlement, funding fees are paid by shorts to longs, with the negative fee rate magnitude at an extreme side of historical samples.Brothers, this whole act is just a performance.
First, Saudi Aramco said it would restore half of its oil export capacity "within a few days," causing oil prices to plunge 4% immediately. But if you look closely, the pipeline is 1200 kilometers long, and this time they are only bypassing the damaged section to operate "partially"; full restoration will take six weeks. The market heard "a few days" and sold off purely out of reflex.
Second, the US secretly met with the Houthi forces in Oman. The Houthis promised not to attack US vessels, but then added—"except for Saudi-owned ships," and they also won’t touch other Israeli commercial ships. This is not easing tensions; it’s holding a knife to Saudi Arabia’s neck, telling the US "I only target your allies."
My judgment: both pieces of news are smokescreens. The oil price drop is meant to scare retail investors, and the Houthis’ "promise" is a precise cut targeting the US-Saudi alliance. Now that the CLARITY Act has just failed and Bitcoin is gasping around 75,000, the market’s biggest fear is more geopolitical surprises. If oil prices continue to fall due to expectations of "a few days" restoration, inflation expectations will ease, giving risk assets a breather. But if Saudi pipeline repairs lag expectations or the Houthis attack Saudi ships, oil prices could instantly V-shape upward.
#中东能源风险推高油价 I was in a pretty bad mood today, but opening my account made me feel a bit better, at least it wasn't all for nothing. Just after lunch, while watching the market, $EDGE surged on EDGE, but the volume didn't keep up, and the support was insufficient. I signaled a bearish outlook, didn't rush to act, just waited for it to show its weakness.
The resistance above was obvious; every rebound was weak, and the selling pressure was strong. I knew this high short had potential, but I also reminded myself not to be greedy.
Opened a short at 0.6584, closed at 0.6014, a +173.14% gain in hand. This profit feels good. Took 80% off the table first, kept 20% at cost price as protection, so if it rebounds, I won't give back the profits.
Don't get inflated by profits, don't despair over pullbacks. For uncertain stocks, just a glance keeps you clear-headed; buying a lot is foolish.
Now is not the time to rush, wait for the next move, and see the new structure.
$BTC $SOL UNI｜In-depth Strategic Value Analysis of the World's Largest Decentralized Spot Exchange
1. Core Positioning
Uniswap is the world's largest decentralized spot exchange, not just an ordinary DApp, but the underlying infrastructure for on-chain asset swaps.
Users do not need to deposit assets on a platform; exchanges are completed directly via wallets; there is no listing approval threshold, allowing any on-chain asset to form liquidity pools for trading; now with V4 and permissioned pools, it covers both retail crypto trading and institutional RWA tokenized asset markets.
2. Five Core Strategic Values
1. Decentralized and Non-Custodial, Reshaping the Underlying Paradigm of Asset Trading
1. User assets always remain in personal wallets; the platform neither touches nor holds user funds, eliminating systemic risks such as centralized exchanges running away or freezing assets.
2. Permissionless, no listing approvals; long-tail small coins and new tokens can quickly gain liquidity, filling the gaps left by centralized exchanges.
3. All transaction records are on-chain, publicly verifiable; trading rules are hardcoded in smart contracts, preventing arbitrary rule changes or transaction rollbacks, ensuring trading neutrality.
Strategic significance: providing the crypto world with a neutral, censorship-resistant underlying spot trading layer; the essential demand for DEX remains through bull markets for new tokens and bear markets for safe exits.
2. Strong Network Effects, an Unshakable Leading Moat for DEX
After multiple bull and bear cycles, despite countless forks and imitations, it still firmly holds the top spot in DEX spot trading volume.
- Highly concentrated liquidity: the more liquidity, the lower the slippage, attracting more traders; more traders attract more liquidity providers, creating a positive flywheel.
- Comprehensive multi-chain deployment: fully deployed on major chains like Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Robinhood Chain, becoming the default trading base for each public chain.
- Numerous third-party wallets, aggregators, and DeFi projects directly integrate Uniswap as their backend liquidity source, effectively serving as the entire Web3 trading backend.
3. V4 Modularization + Hooks, Key Infrastructure Connecting Institutional RWA Real Assets
V4's permissioned liquidity pools are a strategic leap:
- Ordinary pools are fully permissionless; permissioned pools can embed whitelists and compliance checks at the contract level, enabling regulated RWA assets like stock tokens, government bond tokens, and fund shares to trade on decentralized AMMs.
- Traditional financial institutions do not need to build exchanges themselves; they can directly leverage Uniswap's mature liquidity technology to connect tokenized real-world assets to pools for trading.
- Upgrading from a simple retail crypto trading tool to a bridge connecting traditional finance and Web3, unlocking a trillion-dollar tokenized asset market.
4. Tokenomics Achieves Qualitative Change, Protocol Captures Real Business Value
With the UNIfication proposal implemented, protocol fee switch enabled:
Protocol fees are generated from all network trades; fees drive UNI burn; the larger the trading volume, the higher the burn amount, directly linking business revenue with token supply contraction.
A one-time burn of 100 million UNI from the treasury optimizes token supply; UNI transforms from a pure governance voting token to a value certificate of the entire trading infrastructure, completing the shift from "governance token" to "revenue asset."
5. Industry Standard Output, Defining the Direction of DEX Technology Evolution
Uniswap V2/V3/V4 AMM models have become the industry reference standard; the vast majority of DEXs on the market are forks or modifications based on its logic.
Hooks programmable liquidity allows developers to customize fees, risk controls, and market-making logic; no longer just simple token swaps, but building financial modules like wealth management, hedging, and compliant trading at the protocol layer, expanding the boundaries of decentralized finance.A market can look strong while the foundation underneath is quietly changing. Price can rise. Sentiment can improve. The narrative can become louder. But none of that tells you whether the move is being supported by real conviction or temporary positioning. That’s why I’m less interested in asking: “Where is BTC going?” And more interested in asking: “What is actually driving this move?” Because when the reason behind the move changes, the market can change before the chart makes it obvious. 🧠 $BTC BTC Short-Term Strategy｜Pre-Fed Decision Game
#本周FOMC揭晓，加息能否落地？
BTC rebound tests the 76,300 area, quickly facing selling pressure and falling back again. It failed to hold this position for two consecutive hourly candles; tonight's short-term strategy prioritizes shorting on the rebound.
At 02:00 Beijing time on September 17, the Federal Reserve will announce the interest rate decision, followed by a press conference by the Chair at 02:30. This trade only plays the market before the decision is released; once the policy statement is out, the short-term direction may reverse at any time, so no further positions will be held.
$BTC
Support zones: 75,300–75,400, 74,900–75,100
Resistance zone: 76,200–76,350
📝Trading Plan
- Entry condition: Price rebounds to the 76,200–76,350 zone, observe the 15-minute candle closing back below 76,200, then place short positions in the 76,100–76,200 range
- Stop loss: 76,500
- Take profit: Reduce half the position at 75,400, remaining position targets 75,000
- Invalid condition: Price breaks and holds above 76,500 before entry, or price has already fallen below 76,100, cancel this plan
- Validity period: Until 01:00 on September 17; if not executed by then, the plan is void and any open positions should be closed
There was clear support around 75,000 previously; price retracing here can realize profits. Do not change the plan impulsively to bet on the Fed decision outcome. Endless inflation, bug fixes, why are institutions still researching CORE? The harsh truth about the rigid demand for native BTC yield
⚠️This article only reviews the fundamentals of the sector and does not constitute any investment advice
The 8.31 reward bug was fixed through a hard fork, patching the code to close the loophole for excessive minting. However, inflationary pressure has not disappeared, and ghost tokens still hang overhead. Many retail investors wonder: with so many hidden risks, why do institutional researchers continue to study CORE?
The core point: institutional research ≠ preparing to buy. They are researching the rigid demand for native BTC yield assets, not endorsing the investment value of the CORE token.
1. The underlying logic behind institutions willing to spend time researching
1. Massive dormant BTC assets, yield is a real rigid demand
Many institutions hold large amounts of BTC in cold wallets long-term, only benefiting from price appreciation with almost no interest. Traditional WBTC and centralized custody staking carry custody risks. CORE proposes non-custodial BTC dual staking, where BTC does not need to be transferred out or wrapped into wrapped tokens, relying on time locks to achieve native yield. This product model hits institutional pain points. Institutions first evaluate whether this infrastructure can be implemented, not directly favoring the CORE token.
2. Compliance custody channels established
CORE has integrated with top institutional custody providers like BitGo and Copper. The first barrier for institutional capital entry is custody. This channel being operational means BTCFi infrastructure has the potential for commercialization targeting institutional clients, a major variable for the entire sector.
3. Sector first-mover advantage, Satoshi Plus differentiated narrative
STX, Babylon, and MERL each have their own technical routes. CORE is among the few public chains that combine BTC hash power security + EVM smart contracts and native BTC staking packaging. Institutional sector research must include all leading players for comparison. Research is risk control and industry reconnaissance, not a bullish buy signal.
2. The harsh truth: institutional research and buying CORE tokens are completely different matters
1. Endless inflation: network rewards continue to be released, long-term token dilution
The hard fork only fixed the excessive issuance bug; the basic block reward inflation mechanism remains unchanged. Validators, miners, and ecosystem incentives continue to issue CORE, diluting holders’ equity over the long term.
Even if BTC staking scale keeps rising, the staking rewards are still paid in CORE. The more active the ecosystem, the higher the token release volume, naturally creating continuous selling pressure.
Key point: BTC staking growth brings ecosystem TVL growth, not automatic CORE buying. To get higher BTC staking yields, staking CORE is required; demand is a conditional add-on, not a rigid perpetual buy.
2. The bug fix is only a “patch,” the underlying trust cracks cannot be erased at once
The 8.31 incident exposed major flaws in the consensus reward calculation mechanism. The hard fork closed the loophole but proved the protocol code has design blind spots. Institutional risk control will keep this on the long-term risk list:
- Ghost tokens not yet recovered, disposal plans and recovery progress uncertain;
- No one can guarantee no new reward logic bugs will appear in the future;
Institutional asset admission assessments consider security incidents as major deductions, significantly raising capital entry barriers.
3. Value capture dilemma: the ecosystem flywheel is still at the blueprint stage
The project plans fee buybacks and lstBTC asset issuance fees to flow back to the ecosystem treasury, attempting to build a self-sustaining flywheel.
Harsh reality: current ecosystem revenue is very small, insufficient to offset inflationary selling pressure. Fees generated by ecosystem prosperity are hard to convert into stable, continuous CORE buying.
Simply put: BTC yields on-chain go to BTC stakers; CORE tokens mainly serve as network security and yield adjustment certificates, with weak value capture.
3. Reassessing CORE from Zhang Sufen’s contrarian investment perspective
Zhang Sufen’s stock selection core: clean fundamentals, no major historical risks, long-term bottom consolidation, waiting for catalysts, strict position control.
✅ Positives: BTCFi is a main sector, experienced deep decline and bottom consolidation, with real institutional demand;
❌ Negatives: major protocol bugs, ghost tokens overhead, continuous token inflation, fundamentals are not clean.
Conclusion: only suitable for very small positions to speculate on narrative rallies, absolutely not for core heavy holdings. Institutions research sector infrastructure; retail should not take “institutional research” as a buy signal. Many KOLs deliberately confuse and hype institutional research news.
4. Four core observation indicators for retail tracking
1. Disposal and recovery progress of ghost tokens, whether large wallets continue transferring to exchanges;
2. Scale of lstBTC liquid staking BTC landing, actual institutional custody capital access;
3. Ecosystem fee income, protocol buyback execution strength, to judge if the self-sustaining flywheel can run;
4. New audit reports, continuously verifying underlying contract and reward mechanism security.
5. Most important pitfall warning
Institutional research has many purposes: industry reconnaissance, competitor benchmarking, evaluating business cooperation, studying sector risks. The vast majority of research does not end with buying tokens.
Don’t blindly rush in just because of “institutional research.” The sector’s rigid demand is real, but infrastructure opportunities do not equal token profit opportunities.
💬 Interactive question: Do you think institutions continue researching CORE because they are optimistic about native BTC staking business, or simply for horizontal sector comparison? Feel free to leave comments for discussion.The early morning FOMC is the real highlight tonight.
$BTC $ETH waiting for judgment together: Wall Street is watching, and the crypto world can't escape either. Brothers holding Ethereum, can you still hold on until the other side? 😭
Sister San sees that the market has already preemptively digested the rate hike with continuous declines for several days. But tonight, the U.S. stock market is broadly rising in after-hours trading, other markets are shaking along, and precious metals futures are starting to stir. Financial markets never follow the script. Whether they raise rates or not is just the first shot; the real killer is the future interest rate plan in the subsequent statements.
If you have short positions, of course you hope it goes down 😑. But don't get carried away: reduce positions before the data, set stop losses well, don't let a single spike wipe out months of profits. Endure if you can, sleep if you can't; staying alive means there's a next trade.
#本周FOMC揭晓，加息能否落地？ #CLARITY法案投票受阻引争议 #AI发展焦虑升温，监管讨论升级 If this position were on me, I would definitely be so anxious these days that I couldn't sleep at all.
But then again, if someone really had hundreds of millions or tens of millions of dollars in capital, I guess they would have cashed out and left the market long ago. Buying a few houses, putting some money into investments, traveling around, and enjoying life sounds much better, right? Why live in constant fear in this market, holding onto high leverage, gambling on an uncertain tomorrow?
$BTC opened 200 long positions at 50x full margin, average price 79,872, and was directly liquidated at 75,165 by the market crash. A single catastrophic loss of 1,086,189 USDT. Over a million dollars, equivalent to more than seven million RMB, just vanished in a few days. If this were an ordinary person, it would feel like the sky is falling.
Ethereum $ETH had 7,500 long positions earlier, of which 2,500 were forcibly reduced, losing 429,000. Now still holding tightly to 5,000 long positions at 30x full margin, average price 2,518. Watching helplessly as the mark price dropped to 2,392, with an unrealized loss of 628,000. Just a little more market shake and it will liquidate again.
$DOGE has 45 million long positions at 10x full margin, unrealized loss of 477,000, with the margin ratio stuck at the critical 184.97% survival line.
Realized losses plus unrealized losses have evaporated over two million dollars. Every day opening and closing eyes, it's tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars fluctuating up and down.
Maybe this is the obsession of the big players. Money can be made endlessly, but it can really be lost completely. This market is too brutal; respect the market, staying alive is more important than anything.Don't be misled by pump calls! CORE low-price illusion, ghost chips, self-sustaining dilemma, all explained in this article
⚠️This is only a fundamental review of the sector and does not constitute any investment advice.
The BTCFi sector's heat continues to ferment, with many KOLs collectively pumping CORE. Many retail investors see the low unit price at a glance, combined with the grand narrative of "Bitcoin DeFi socket," and easily rush in impulsively.
But beneath the glamorous narrative lie three deadly traps most people overlook: low-price illusion, ghost chips, and self-sustaining dilemma.
1. Low-price illusion: Low unit price ≠ cheap valuation, the biggest pitfall to avoid
Many see CORE at around $0.02 and instinctively think "it's already bottomed out, limited downside," which is a typical low-price illusion.
To judge a token's value, look at the fully diluted valuation (FDV), not just the surface unit price. CORE has a fixed total supply cap of 2.1 billion tokens; even if the price is low, once fully released, the overall market cap is not small.
Its historical high once exceeded $6, then crashed over 99%. Many pump callers emphasize the huge drop but avoid mentioning: a crash doesn't mean the bottom; as long as selling pressure continues, it can keep sliding down.
Key point: In crypto, unit price is just a number. Tokens with huge total supply can be highly valued even at a few cents; tokens with very small supply can be undervalued even at tens of dollars. Simply buying the dip based on unit price is the number one cause of retail losses.
2. Ghost chips: The looming sword left by the 8.31 loophole
The 8.31 reward loophole incident is a major historical hidden risk CORE cannot avoid. A protocol reward calculation bug prematurely released a large amount of tokens that should have been gradually distributed in the future. The project team recovered 186 million CORE via a hard fork, but about 69 million tokens had already been transferred out of target addresses and cannot be directly reclaimed by hard fork—these are the so-called ghost chips in the market.
These chips are scattered and their disposal timeline is unknown, acting as a ticking time bomb hanging over the market.
During bull runs, if these ghost chips are sold off en masse, they will directly break the upward trend. Even if the team promises to track and recover them, there is no set timetable or certainty on how much can be recovered.
Combined with tokens unlocked linearly for the original team and validators, multiple sell pressures stack up, and every rebound faces realization pressure.
3. Self-sustaining dilemma: Active ecosystem but weak token value capture
The project roadmap plans a fee flywheel and ecosystem buybacks, aiming to use real ecosystem revenue to repurchase CORE on the secondary market, building a value closed loop.
But blueprints are blueprints, reality is reality; currently, there is still a clear self-sustaining problem:
1. Users staking BTC into the CORE ecosystem do not directly buy CORE; ecosystem revenue depends on block inflation rewards, not a natural buy demand for CORE.
2. Ecosystem fees and lending income are currently limited in scale, far from sustaining large-scale buybacks or forming a stable flywheel. Current ecosystem growth relies more on token inflation subsidies to attract users, not sustained profits from business itself.
3. Competitors STX, MERL, Babylon continuously fight for the BTCFi market. Even if the BTCFi sector explodes overall, CORE may not get the largest business share.
In short: ecosystem prosperity does not equal synchronous benefit for CORE token.
4. Considering Zhang Sufen's contrarian strategy, how to view CORE
Zhang Sufen's core ambush strategy: choose fundamentally clean projects with no major risks, wait long-term sideways for catalysts, strictly control position size.
Comparing to this standard for CORE:
✅ Advantages: experienced deep decline, long-term bottom consolidation, belongs to BTCFi main sector, with narrative catalyst expectations;
❌ Flaws: major protocol loophole occurred, ghost chips remain overhead, token value capture mechanism unverified, fundamentals not clean.
Conclusion: Only treat as a very small position to speculate on narrative-driven moves, absolutely not as a core heavy holding.
5. Practical anti-pitfall rules
1. Avoid pure pump talk: Be highly cautious of content that only talks about BTCFi's bright narrative while deliberately avoiding ghost chips and token economic flaws.
2. Strict position control: single token position within 5% of total funds, use spare money, absolutely no leverage.
3. Continuously track three core indicators: progress on ghost chip disposal, lstBTC landing progress, ecosystem fee and buyback data.
4. Set profit-taking and stop-loss: when price reaches expected target, take profits in batches; if fundamentals worsen, exit decisively, don't stubbornly hold waiting to break even.
💬 Interactive question: Do you think CORE's biggest risk is ghost chip selling pressure or the ecosystem's failure to establish a self-sustaining flywheel? Feel free to leave comments for discussion.Everyone thought that when the funding rate fell, the bears won, but actually, the market was just using a different approach to keep pressing short sellers. Have you noticed that CNPY's drop and then rebound this time don't look like a normal correction? In the afternoon, I watched CNPY's rate. It was clearly slowly falling, and I thought, this time it's finally going to crash. But the price fell all afternoon, and at the close, it was pulled back like a needle, with the rate almost matching my holding cost. A coin that just launched was volatile like a monster. Shorting it now would really get you hit hard. This isn't just a simple bull-short battle; it's more like the derivative structure is controlling the rhythm. A drop in the rate doesn't mean pressure is released; rather, it's likely the bears are quietly adding positions, waiting for the next squeeze. I just closed a long position on Binance for ETH, but didn't hold on. After closing out, it moved up again. It's a lie to say it's not uncomfortable. But I want to wait for tonight's news to come true. My feeling is that ETH will first follow BTC downward before making a truly strong rebound, since it has been quietly grinding for too long. This rhythm is more like a shakeout before the start, not the end of a trend. Looking at BTC, the liquidation zone above is so thick, yet there hasn't been any violent surge to sweep orders. I still haven't fully figured this out. Either the main force is waiting for a bigger catalyst, or those positions above have already been digested in advance. If tonight can drive the whole market to strengthen, 85,000 might not be an unattainable dream. The logic behind the bullish bias lies in the rate being deducted, the short position crowding, and the accumulation of clearing zones—all of theseU.S. Treasury Secretary Yellen testified before Congress that the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield has surpassed 5.04%, the highest since 2007. She attributed this to global factors rather than domestic ones. This is essentially a capital pricing signal: when the risk-free yield exceeds 5%, the attractiveness of risk assets passively contracts, with highly volatile assets like $BTC and $ETH being the first affected. More subtly, Trump proposed distributing $5,000 to every American adult, totaling about $1.35 trillion. Yellen expressed support and claimed it would not increase the deficit but did not explain how this would be achieved, further undermining market confidence in fiscal discipline. Meanwhile, the U.S. claimed to have jointly intervened with Japan to support the yen, but in reality contributed less than $1 billion, while Japan paid $9.64 billion out of pocket. The U.S. also claimed a small profit of tens of millions, making the gesture more symbolic than a substantive backstop. The entire hearing did not mention cryptocurrencies, but the macro backdrop of uncontrollable deficits and high yields continues to suppress risk appetite, with $ZEC also constrained by this liquidity environment. Going forward, it is worth observing whether U.S. Treasury yields can stabilize below 5% and whether the cash distribution plan provides a credible funding source. Risk warning: The above is market observation and does not constitute investment advice; please carefully assess volatility.The SEC chairman said, "Whether or not there is legislation, decisive action must be taken," which sounds pretty tough.
But the CLARITY Act is stuck in the Senate, and the CFTC is also saying, "Let's push forward with existing authority first." The two agencies are competing to make statements, and legislation is no longer being mentioned.
My first reaction is not optimism, but that these two are fighting for turf.
If clarity is really needed, one bill would be enough; there’s no need for two chairmen to take turns saying "stay tuned." Translated, it sounds more like: can’t wait, let’s just do it first.
As for what will actually be accomplished, no one is giving a timeline.
The louder the slogans, the slower the implementation—this feeling is all too familiar to seasoned players.
#CLARITY法案投票受阻引争议 $HYPE I've been watching the number 76,700 for a long time.
Glassnode says Bitcoin has fallen below the real market value, which is this line.
Simply put, this is the average cost line for all holders across the network.
Falling below it means most people are starting to see unrealized losses.
Interestingly, this drop isn't actually that severe.
After the Senate vote failed and altcoins plunged, it only dropped 4.6%, showing some resilience.
But the problem lies with the opposing side—no one is stepping in to buy.
On-chain funds have been stagnant for 27 days, ETFs are seeing net outflows, stablecoins are inactive, and companies have stopped buying.
No new money is coming in, and old money isn't panicking, so the market is stuck.
Options are even more direct; just hours after the vote, sentiment shifted from bullish to bearish.
The biggest pain point is at 72,000, with a lot of bullish pressure above at 85,000.
Nearly two-thirds of the order book is placed between 1% to 10% below; once 68,000 breaks, the bottom is basically empty.
I'm not trying to scare anyone.
It's just that this kind of "no one stepping in" market is very familiar to an old trader like me.
Whether it goes up or not, would you dare to be the one to catch the fall at this position?

MACD short-term death cross faces pullback pressure, but the overall direction remains unchanged: Holding 1,283 (middle Bollinger band) → LSK Burns 25% of Tokens + Major Significance Outlook on Ecological Transformation
I. Summary of Two Core Events
1. Token Burn: Total Supply Reduced by 25%
The original total supply was 400 million tokens. 100 million LSK tokens held in the DAO treasury, which were expected to be unlocked between 2027 and 2033 (not currently in circulation), are burned, reducing the total supply to 300 million.
The remaining treasury of about 47 million tokens is transferred to the project company Lisk Ltd, and the DAO community governance is officially dissolved.
Key point: This does not directly reduce the existing circulating tokens in the secondary market; its core function is to permanently eliminate future large inflationary selling pressure.
2. Ecological Strategic Transformation: From Public Chain → Enterprise Financial SaaS Platform
Abandoning the native public chain operated for many years, shutting down the original DApp staking and node ecosystem; the business shifts to a financial management platform for enterprise finance teams, providing one-stop management of fiat bank accounts and stablecoins, completing cross-border payments, fund approvals, and financial accounting.
Token positioning is reshaped: from a public chain staking governance token to a loyalty reward token for enterprise platforms. Enterprises using services and referring clients can earn LSK rewards, and tokens can be used to offset platform service fees.
II. Multiple Major Significances Brought by Burn Plus Transformation
✅ Token Economics: Resolving Long-Term Inflation Risks
1. One-time cut of 100 million tokens scheduled for release over the coming years permanently lowers the token supply cap, eliminating large unlocking selling pressure looming over the market, improving supply-demand fundamentals in the mid to long term.
2. The token value anchor is completely changed: previously, value was tied to the public chain ecosystem and staking mining, with inflation continuously diluting holders; now, value is tied to B2B enterprise service business, where future business-generated commercial revenue can continuously empower the token.
✅ Sector Perspective: Exiting the Public Chain Red Ocean, Opening a Differentiated B2B Track
The public chain sector is already saturated, with many projects competing for developers, resulting in high customer acquisition costs and difficulty in profitability. LSK proactively abandons the public chain track and enters the enterprise treasury and cross-border fund management market, which has real traditional financial demand.
No longer competing with numerous L1 public chains for developers, but serving real enterprise finance teams by embedding stablecoins and blockchain technology into daily enterprise fund workflows, creating a new value narrative.
✅ Industry Sample Significance: A New Transformation Model for Established Public Chains
LSK is a rare established public chain in the industry that proactively shuts down its mainnet, dissolves the DAO, and fully pivots to B2B SaaS.
It provides a reference direction for other established public chains facing growth difficulties: not necessarily clinging to the public chain narrative, but embedding blockchain technology into traditional enterprise services to find real paying customers.
✅ Token Utility Reconstruction, Establishing a New Demand Logic
The token is no longer a staking voting tool but becomes a reward point and service fee offset voucher for enterprise clients. As the platform’s enterprise clients increase, token holding and consumption demand will gradually emerge, forming a new demand closed loop.
III. Costs and Risks Not to Be Ignored
1. The original public chain ecosystem is completely reset to zero
Years of accumulated nodes, DApps, and community staking users are all lost, and the old community consensus collapses. The mainnet shutdown on October 31 requires users to manually bridge and migrate; operational errors will cause permanent asset loss.
2. The burn is a long-term positive but lacks short-term buying support
The burned tokens are those to be released in the future; current circulating supply remains unchanged, so no immediate deflation occurs. Price increases ultimately depend on whether the B2B enterprise platform can secure paying customers and generate real business revenue.
3. Fierce competition in the B2B track
The enterprise fund management field has mature financial service providers like Stripe and Ramp, with high customer acquisition barriers. New platforms face great difficulty expanding enterprise clients. LSK is only a reward point, an ancillary business product; even if the business is profitable, token revenue capture ability is limited.
4. Residual token risk
The 47 million treasury tokens transferred to the project company may be sold in the future; cross-border funds and stablecoin business belong to heavily regulated sectors, and policy changes may restrict business expansion.
IV. Three Scenario Outlooks
1. Optimistic Scenario
The enterprise fund platform successfully expands a large number of overseas enterprise clients, generating continuous service fee income. LSK reward and offset demand steadily rise. Coupled with the permanent long-term supply reduction, fundamentals are reshaped, achieving value restoration.
Prerequisite: Scaled enterprise client adoption and smooth compliance construction.
2. Neutral Scenario
The platform develops slowly with a small number of enterprises joining but no explosive growth; the token relies on transformation and burn narratives for support, with price following crypto market fluctuations, making it difficult to have an independent major rally.
3. Pessimistic Scenario
B2B business expansion falls short of expectations, struggling to compete with traditional financial service providers; new business lacks real cash flow, narrative fades, and token price remains under pressure.
Core Summary
Burning 25% of tokens addresses long-term inflation selling pressure; ecological transformation addresses project track and business self-sustainability. The burn is an important positive factor, but the success of the transformation is the core determinant of LSK’s long-term value. Supply contraction is only a necessary condition; whether the enterprise service business can secure real paying customers is the decisive factor.Single Coin Contract Fluctuation
$SNDK price net change is limited, with trading leaning towards buyers: in three sets of 5-minute statistics, sellers account for 35.4%, buyers 64.6%, and the active buying amount is about 1.83 times the active selling amount; the 15-minute K-line for this root fell by 0.02%; open interest increased by 0.08%, open interest value changed by -0.07%, with quantity increase and value decrease coexisting, valuation changes offsetting quantity growth. The buy bias signal mainly comes from the trading distribution, while the price net change has not yet shown a clear rise or fall.At 2 a.m., the Federal Reserve raised interest rates by 25 basis points as expected, and the market had already priced it in. But BTC surged to $76,000, ETH broke through $2,400, and ZEC followed the rally. Why did prices rise despite the rate hike? The scary part isn't the rate hike itself, but the dot plot: among 19 officials, 16 expect further rate hikes in 2026, with a median pointing to 4.1%, more hawkish than Goldman Sachs' expectation of "only one hike." While Powell verbally says "a slight adjustment," the dot plot reveals he can't hold back the hawks. The market understood: 25 basis points is just the beginning. The US stock market reacted moderately, with the Dow slightly up, the S&P up 0.32%, and the Nasdaq up 0.67%. The crypto rally is not a misread but traders front-running the expectation gap that the "rate hike cycle is not over."The SEC Chair said "stay tuned," and those four words are not an announcement.
Paul Atkins said one thing.
Whether or not there is legislation, the SEC will take action.
The exact wording of the rule is:
He said "regardless of legislation," assuming the bill in Congress is stuck.
The trigger moment:
The bill can't move forward in the Senate, so the Chair switches to administrative authority.
In other words, the rule bypasses voting and goes straight to enforcement.
Legislation requires dozens of people voting and takes years to produce results.
Enforcement requires one person’s signature and takes a few months to implement.
The time difference between these two paths is the entire meaning of "stay tuned."
Who holds the pen to sign is more important than what the bill says.
#CLARITY法案投票受阻引争议 $BTC The most abnormal detail in today's market: $SAGA dropped 13.52% in 24h, but the funding rate is still a positive +0.0050%, meaning longs are still paying to hold positions, indicating that bottom-fishing sentiment hasn't faded. Meanwhile, the MACD histogram has turned negative, MA5 has fallen below MA20, and the price is running close to the lower Bollinger Band at 0.0186149. This is a typical "bulls not dead, downtrend not over" structure. The amplitude of 30 K-lines is 33.72%, with volatility at a high level. At this point, any left-side bottom-fishing without stop-loss is essentially gambling principal on a rebound.
My view is bearish for two reasons: first, the moving averages are in a bearish alignment combined with a MACD bearish histogram at -2.489e-05, showing no signs of momentum recovery; second, the Fear and Greed Index is neutral at 51, far from panic selling levels, so there is still room to the downside. The lower Bollinger Band at 0.0186149 is the first reference level; if broken with a weak rebound, it will open the next leg down.
For operations, the entry reference range is 0.02020–0.02060 (a rebound zone above the current price, with heavier selling pressure near MA5 resistance at 0.019644). Take profit 1 is at 0.01880 (near the lower Bollinger Band), take profit 2 at 0.01760 (amplitude extension level), and stop loss at 0.02150 (above the upper Bollinger Band at 0.0212461; if broken, the bearish logic fails and you must exit). If the price stands back above MA20 at 0.0199305 with volume, consider it an exit signal and do not cling to the position.Brothers, today's wave is actually quite interesting. After the rate hike was implemented, BTC and ETH did not experience the expected sharp drop, indicating that this negative factor has largely been priced in in advance. What’s more important now is to see if the market can continue to digest the impact of the rate hike, rather than immediately turning bearish just because of the rate hike.
$ARB is actually stronger. It rose from 0.131 to 0.174, then pulled back from the high and returned to around 0.16, showing that capital is still supporting it. The short-term focus is on 0.158–0.160; as long as this level holds, there is still a chance to test 0.164–0.166. A strong breakout would then target the previous high of 0.174. If it falls below 0.155, we need to be cautious that this rally might turn into a pullback.
$BTC currently has key support around 75000, with resistance at 77000–78000; $ETH is relatively weaker. Overall, it looks more like a digestion and repair phase after the rate hike implementation. If BTC continues to hold steady, strong altcoins might outperform the mainstream, but ARB still has unlocking selling pressure, so don’t blindly chase highs in the short term.
#本周FOMC揭晓，加息能否落地？ #CLARITY法案投票受阻引争议 #美战略比特币储备法案进入委员会审议 很多人觉得，以太坊一涨，就意味着山寨季正式开始。但我发现，每次市场情绪最一致的时候，往往也是风险开始累积的时候。 这两天 ETH 的走势很强，资金重新回流，很多人开始喊 10000 美元、12000 美元，朋友圈又开始截图收益。我不是说不会涨，而是觉得现在更应该关注 “还能不能持续涨”。 我看 ETH 主要看三个信号。 第一，看成交量是不是持续放大。真正的趋势上涨，一定有资金不断接力，而不是一天拉盘、一天缩量。 第二，看 ETF 和机构资金有没有继续流入。ETH 这一轮和过去最大的不同，就是越来越多传统资金开始参与，这会影响行情节奏。 第三，看 BTC 是否保持强势。历史上，大部分山寨行情都需要 BTC 稳定，资金才会轮动到 ETH 和其他公链。 很多新人有一个误区：ETH 一涨，就去追各种山寨币，希望一天翻倍。结果热点一换，利润全部吐回去。 我现在更愿意做一件事：有计划地拿住，而不是情绪化追高。 上涨的时候，不幻想卖在最高点；回调的时候，不因为一天大跌就怀疑牛市结束。提前想好自己的仓位和止盈位置，比每天猜涨跌重要得多。 还有一句话，我觉得特别适合现在： 牛市后半程，赚大钱的人靠耐心；$BTC BTC Real-time Analysis｜2026-09-17 Morning

No Bullish View Without Holding 78.6K, No Panic Selling Without Breaking 74.9K, 71.2K Is the Mid-term Bullish Bottom. $BTC At 2 a.m., the Federal Reserve got the job done. Interest rates were raised by 25 basis points, lifting the rate to 3.75% to 4.00%. This is the first rate hike since July 2023, ending five consecutive meetings of holding steady. Looking at this result alone, the market had long anticipated it, so there was no surprise. But what truly chilled the market behind the scenes was the simultaneously released dot plot.
The dot plot shows that out of 19 officials, 16 believe there will be more rate hikes this year. Compared to the June forecast, when 8 people thought rates should remain steady, that number has now dropped to zero. More critically, those expecting a cumulative 75 basis points hike this year surged from 1 in June to 4 now. Those expecting a 50 basis points hike rose from 5 to 12. What does this mean? It means the dovish voices that once existed within the Federal Reserve have been almost completely drowned out. The remaining disagreement is only about how much to raise, not whether to raise.
The market had previously priced in nearly a 90% chance of a rate hike, but that only accounted for "this time." After the dot plot was released, the market must reprice "how many more times after this." This is the real source of pressure.
For BTC, the rate hike itself was not unexpected, but the hawkishness of the dot plot clearly exceeded expectations. Once the expectation of higher rates for longer is confirmed, valuations of risk assets will continue to be suppressed.
#美战略比特币储备法案进入委员会审议 #本周FOMC揭晓，加息能否落地？ #BTC财库优先股融资升温 The opponent lifted the piece off the board—Robinhood minted stocks into tokens but has been reluctant to hand over the two crucial rights: voting and redemption.
This is a classic "shadow soldier" setup. Backed 1:1 by physical stocks, the number of pieces on the ledger matches, but the tokens themselves do not constitute direct ownership. It's like having a piece on the board that looks exactly like a soldier, but its moves must be explained by the player afterward. The opponent can see the shape but cannot calculate the path.
AMC was the first to challenge, asking the old question: on what basis do you move my square? Tenev's defense was clean and straightforward— as long as stock rights are not changed and the registry is untouched, no issuer permission is needed. In chess terms, this is called "occupying a square without placing a piece," neither check nor yielding position, purely compressing the opponent's space of action.
The real calculation is in the endgame. Once redemption and voting rights are implemented, the exchange square between tokens and stocks is forcibly opened. The holder's identity rises from spectator to player, from someone watching the game to someone who can reach out and move the pieces. The damage of this step is not immediate but lies in forcing the issuer to take a stance: do you tacitly allow this exchange channel, or do you block it yourself?
The blank consent from the issuer is the only unresolved square in this game. Whoever places a piece on this square first sets the entire legal tone of the game.
The midgame focus is not on price but on the time difference. The linkage of US stock token targets is not a bet on cash flow but on the progress bar of "identity upgrade." The market is willing to pay a premium for a right not yet redeemed, essentially betting on a soldier chain that has not yet completed its path—whether the soldier can promote at the baseline depends on whether the opponent recognizes this line.
Every silent move by the issuer is a long contemplation left to themselves. The most dangerous thing on the board is not an obvious check but the opponent clearly holding promotion rights yet never making that move.
The registry is the board itself. Whoever can define it truly holds ownership of the squares. #robinhoodtokennewrights5.01%—this is not an interest rate figure; it is the benchmark elevation of the entire global capital structure, forcibly raised by fifty centimeters overnight. All blueprints must be redrawn.
Our first lesson in supertall buildings: when the foundation water level changes, the entire load path of the upper structure must be recalculated from scratch. The 10-year Treasury yield is the benchmark pile embedded in the bedrock; when it pushes up a notch, all buildings on the surface must be rechecked for settlement. Oil prices breaking $100 is like sand and gravel price hikes, inflation expectations force concrete grades to be upgraded, the Fed’s rate hike probability is like the plan review office potentially rejecting your structural calculations at any time. And the Treasury’s massive bond issuance? That’s the owner insisting on adding another basement layer on an already cracked site.
AI financing demand is even fiercer. This is a group of supertall developers who ignore regulations, desperately adding floors to the sky, concentrating all the foundation stress onto a single pile beneath their feet. The taller they build, the more the neighboring old buildings sway. The term premium is rising, which means one thing: no one believes this building will be topped out on schedule anymore.
The real watershed is here—high-beta assets are like those cantilevered oversized curtain walls; the first to rattle in the wind are always them. Equity and corporate financing costs rise with the benchmark interest rate, equivalent to the entire city’s tower crane rental fees doubling, construction schedules lengthening, and cash flow breaking off mid-air.
But Bitcoin hasn’t collapsed here. This is a key structural signal. It’s not doing a secondary renovation on someone else’s load-bearing system; it’s driving its own piles on an independent site. While the foundations worldwide are recalibrating their elevations, a structure not hanging on the old framework actually shows stability in load-bearing capacity. This is not faith; this is stress analysis.
As for that tokenized asset pegged to US stocks, you need to see its assembly logic clearly: it essentially moves others’ prefabricated components to a new site. When the foundation changes, the original factory blueprints must be revised, and all interface tolerances recalculated. The degree of linkage depends on whether it’s rigidly welded to the old framework or has flexible joints. Designers know best: rigid connections in seismic zones are disasters.
Now focus on three observation points: the real yield is the core rock sample, crude oil is the commodity concrete delivery price, and the Fed’s wording is the plan review opinion. If any of the three continue to push upward, the entire city’s foundation pits must be re-shored. Don’t rush to draw the facade renderings; first, drive the piles to the bearing layer.
The structure is not yet stable. Whoever is pouring a bare slab and building walls upward, just wait to see cracks crawl from the basement all the way to the parapet. #us10yearyieldbreaks5%$BTC FOMC flow:

Shorts still doing their job🔥 $BTC / $ETH / $SOL | Three Different Bear Market Survival Logics
$BTC survives the bear market through consensus.
$ETH survives the bear market through its ecosystem.
$SOL survives the bear market through hype.
With $BTC, interest rate hikes take effect, liquidity continues to tighten, and the support from consensus will remain under pressure.
With $ETH, on-chain activity shrinks during the interest rate hike cycle, the ecosystem's self-sustaining ability declines, prolonging the bear market bottoming process.
$SOL lacks long-term fundamental accumulation; after interest rate hikes take effect and hype dissipates, it enters a prolonged gradual decline.
Different survival logics.
Different eventual outcomes.
This interest rate hike implementation determines how much longer the bear market will last. #数字资产信息合规受关注
The U.S. Department of Justice is getting serious this time, directly starting to crack down on insider trading.
So what impact does this have on the crypto space? Let me break it down into two layers for you.
First layer: short-term sentiment will definitely worsen. Look at the past two days, the CLARITY Act vote failed, Bitcoin dropped below 75,000, nearly 120,000 people were liquidated, plus Tether froze 42 million U and got sued, and now the DOJ is arresting people. Several events piling up together make market sentiment very fragile. At a time like this, with such compliance news, institutional funds dare not move recklessly, so Bitcoin will remain under pressure in the short term.
Second layer: the boundaries of industry compliance are being thoroughly defined. The old ways of making money through insider information and wash trading will become increasingly difficult. Traditional large funds want to enter the market but fear opacity and frontrunning. Regulators are now cracking down hard on these parasites. Although there is short-term pain, in the long run, this paves the way for genuine institutional capital. This aligns with what we discussed earlier about the SEC filling the gap with its own rules after the CLARITY Act failed.
Here’s my view.
Don’t think the arrests are targeting just the crypto space; this is a necessary path for the entire industry to move from chaos to regulation. Without rules, legitimate players won’t dare to enter. What we retail investors should do is stay away from those trash projects that constantly hype insider info and wash trading, and honestly stick to the mainstream. The compliance sword will sooner or later clean up the entire market.
What do you think?
$BTC $ETH $BTC I really didn't do much this round, but the short position ended well, and that's enough.
Just finished watching the negative news, selling pressure was strong, trading volume was low, and resistance above was obvious. I advised not to rush to catch the rebound, wait for confirmation of support first.
BTC dropped from 77,261.2 to 75,983.2, short position +165.37%, the earlier hesitation turned out to be very rewarding.
Close 80% first, keep 20% to protect the cost price. Brothers, watch your profits; if it continues to drop, let the profits run.
The premise of compounding is staying alive; the shortcut to getting rich often leads to zero. For uncertain coins, a glance is clarity, buying a lot is confusion. Wait for the next signal before acting.
$BNB $LAB Today marks the 104th day since Ruoshui started holding $OKB, rejecting leverage and not doing contracts, only long-term spot trading. Friends who can't hold onto their chips can follow me to navigate through bull and bear markets together.
The interest rate hike has landed, with a 25 basis point increase as expected, passed unanimously with 12 votes. Many people originally thought that the bad news landing was actually good news, but the dot plot directly poured cold water on the market. Officials expect another chance to raise rates within the year, and high interest rates will be maintained longer than everyone imagined.
Real market feeling:
This rate hike had actually been priced in by the market in advance. The moment the news came out, the coin price first spiked to sweep contract long positions, then oscillated back and forth. The truly scary part is not this 25 basis point hike, but Wash's hawkish speech, which shattered many people's hopes for a rate cut by the end of the year.
Combined with the previous failure of the Clarity Act, the crypto market is under double pressure. Short-term market volatility will be large, with spikes back and forth to harvest leveraged players. Many contract traders have been liquidated in this round.
Many retail investors tend to fall into traps: seeing the rate hike landing, they rush in to bottom-fish and bet on a rebound. Don't be impulsive; hawkish statements mean the period of loose liquidity will be pushed further back, making it difficult to sustain a strong rally in the short term.
Long-term strategy remains unchanged: Bitcoin's bull and bear cycles will not be rewritten by a single rate hike.
Next, focus on US Treasury yields and subsequent CPI inflation data. If inflation doesn't come down, easing is out of reach. #MiddleEastEnergyRisksPushOilPrices #CLARITY法案投票受阻引争议 $BTC $ETH $BTC My Current Market Thesis, Price swept the downside liquidity and rejected from the 2hr OB, + We are already at the range lows and honestly to me, it doesn't look like an optimal area to look for shorts.

#FOMCRateCallThisWeek #Everyone is waiting for the next headline to decide what $BTC does.
But price doesn’t wait for headlines.
Markets move on expectations first.

Kind of holding on the 4H trend and above the low swept yesterday, but still below VaL.
I have attempted a long yesterday after the sweep but closed at BE going into FOMC.
From here we need to reclaim VaL, other wise we are simply in breakdown territory with a huge FVG just below.$BTC The pipeline is under repair, missiles are flying, and negotiations are secretly underway.
Three things happening at the same time, which one do you trust?
First, about the repairs: Saudi Arabia is now striving to restore half of the pipeline's capacity within a few days, with repair progress faster than expected. Previously it was said to take "weeks," now it's "days." Upon hearing this news, Brent crude oil directly fell 2.6% from its high to 100.54.
But don't be quick to relax. In the same week, the Houthis said they launched two military operations against Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia declared a "red line." The Houthis denied it. Whether they deny it or not, missiles don't lie.
On the other side, U.S. officials secretly met with Houthi representatives in Oman over the weekend. No official announcement, no statement, it was leaked. Shouting red lines while secretly negotiating and repairing the pipeline—these three things together represent the real Middle East.
Our stance is also very clear: Wang Yi met with the Iranian foreign minister, urging peace and promoting talks, not taking sides, looking for people who can really speak.
So the current situation is: repairs are ongoing, fighting continues, and talks are happening.
Oil prices falling from 108 to 100 is not because the risk is gone, but because the market chooses to believe the "repair" side first.
I’m not guessing whether oil prices will fall back.
I’m only watching one thing: the pipeline is only considered fixed when it’s truly repaired; half repaired doesn’t count.
Will it be fixed first, or will there be another round of fighting? What does everyone think?
I hope for another surge to catch my short position 😁

#FOMCRateCallThisWeek $UP Some orders are just like this: the more you watch them, the less they move; the moment you look away, they move. This short position was the same.
Yesterday afternoon, there was insufficient support; no one stepped in as it went up, and the sell orders kept pressing down layer by layer. I saw the rebound lacked volume, so I indicated the bearish structure was still intact and advised not to chase longs.
The $UP short position went from 0.3755 to 0.3068, a +183.75% gain, a big profit in one go.
First, close 80%, and keep the remaining 20% to protect the cost price. Take profits when you should, let the continued drop run the profits, and don’t give back gains on the rebound.
Being out of position is not a sin; opening positions recklessly is the mistake. Hold as long as the trend is intact; exit if it breaks. Now is not the time to rush; wait for a more comfortable position in the next round, and I will notify immediately.

The Senate procedural vote failed, and Bitcoin slid from the $77,800 level to $74,910. On the surface, it looks like an event-driven sell-off, but the real impact is not on the candlestick chart, but on the calendar.
Historical experience with similar legislative setbacks shows that emotional sell-offs are usually digested within 5 to 10 trading days. Price moves fast, but institutions move slow. The most costly consequence of this bill stalling is time: Congress is in recess this month, the November midterm elections are looming, and the legislative window is effectively pushed to 2027. Institutional incremental businesses such as bank custody, broker distribution, and tokenized securities are collectively delayed by a year.
In other words, the market is selling off due to "disappointed expectations," but what is truly suppressed is the valuation anchor, not the price itself. The price reaction is one-off, but the valuation discount is persistent. When the compliant entry of incremental funds is delayed, BTC's weight in institutional allocation models is difficult to systematically increase.
For traders, the short-term focus is on the support strength around $74,900; historically, the repair window for event shocks usually opens within two weeks. But for allocators, a reality must be accepted: in this cycle, the door between crypto assets and Wall Street has been pushed back another year.

#本周FOMC揭晓，加息能否落地？ $DOGE is leaning bullish, with whales quietly increasing their positions. In the past 24 hours, the proportion of whale holdings has clearly risen, while the retail traders' long-short ratio has slightly declined. Large funds are adding to longs, retail traders are letting go, creating a divergence in direction; the market is being driven by the former. There are no signs of leverage being liquidated. In the past hour, almost no one on either side has been forcibly liquidated; the current positions are actively maintained, not leftover from liquidations. The funding rate remains slightly positive, with the latest period noticeably cooling down, indicating bulls are not paying a premium to accumulate chips, and sentiment is far from overheated, leaving room above. The price closed in the upper half of the daily range, having tested the low and then pulled back, showing support below. Judgment: $DOGE will first test the intraday high of 0.08082; once it holds above, the upside space will open. Bearish condition: if the price breaks below the intraday low of 0.07828, it indicates the whales' recent long additions have failed, invalidating the bullish logic. $CHIP Conclusion: Short-term bearish bias, rebounds are opportunities to reduce positions. Current price 0.03584, MA5=0.03595 has fallen below MA20=0.03672, the moving average death cross is the first signal of a weakening trend, RSI=38.5 has not entered the oversold zone, indicating there is still room to decline; although the MACD histogram is positive, the price does not rise, indicating divergence, Bollinger lower band 0.035291 is the recent support. Funding rate +0.0050% is relatively high, long positions are crowded and prone to liquidation. Teaching points: Moving averages indicate direction, RSI indicates strength, funding rate indicates sentiment; the resonance of all three constitutes a healthy trend.

“FOMC is expected to hike rates tomorrow, so BTC will dump even harder.”
What they’re missing is that💹 markets price in expectations before the news actually hits. That’s why BTC is selling off ahead of the announcements.
By the time the headlines give everyone a reason to sell, the market may have already absorbed the move—and those late sellers could simply be selling into the bids that form the bottom.
#FOMCRateCallThisWeek Strategy has made a move again.
This time, instead of buying BTC, it directly repurchased about $139 million of $STRC.
This action is actually quite worth watching.
Strategy itself is a company highly reliant on capital market financing, then directing funds towards BTC.
Now, by actively repurchasing STRC, it is essentially using cash to improve its own capital structure while reducing the supply of STRC in the market.
And don't forget:
Its biggest trump card is still BTC.
So when looking at Strategy now, you can't just focus on "how much BTC it has bought again."
On one hand, it raises money through the capital markets and continuously increases BTC exposure; on the other hand, it starts actively managing its securities structure.
This playbook increasingly looks like:
Using the capital markets to leverage BTC, then using BTC to support the entire capital story.
If $BTC strengthens again later, the flexibility of Strategy's financial engineering will naturally be further amplified.
But conversely, if BTC weakens long-term, financing costs, premiums, and capital structure pressures will also increase simultaneously.
So what’s really worth watching is not just how much BTC Strategy has bought.
But how it plans to continue playing this "capital markets → BTC" cycle next. #Strategy回购约1.39亿美元STRC US Treasury yields break 5%! Besent redraws the "industrial supercycle," BTC under pressure before FOMC
The 10-year US Treasury yield surged past 5%, tightening the global valuation anchor once again. Besent's congressional hearing was interrupted by protests, after which he attributed the bond market turmoil to Middle East oil prices, emphasizing that the US is not experiencing stagflation and is entering an "industrial supercycle," with wages outpacing inflation. However, interest rate swaps have already priced in a Fed rate hike this week, opposing Trump's calls for rate cuts.
My view: Besent seems more like stabilizing the narrative rather than describing reality. The combination of fiscal deficits, energy shocks, and tariff disruptions means inflation decline won't be smooth. Once the rate hike is realized and liquidity tightens, risk assets like BTC will be hit first. 75000 is not a safety cushion; losing 77000 could trigger a chain deleveraging.
Strategy: Light or no positions before the FOMC, don't guess the direction; follow after a breakout, cash is also a position.
