$BTC has once again reclaimed the 1130-day SMA, which is indeed a medium-to-long-term signal worth paying attention to. In past cycles, this kind of ultra-long-term moving average often serves as the "bear-bull dividing line." Reclaiming it at least indicates the market is shifting from a long-term weakness back toward recovery.
Especially after the break below in June, BTC stayed below the moving average for about 80 days, then in August broke through $74,000 and reclaimed it, showing that the previously extreme pessimistic pricing is being corrected. If historical patterns continue to hold, this indeed has some significance for a cycle reversal.
However, note that reclaiming the moving average ≠ a confirmed bull market. The real key is whether it can hold above it consistently afterward and turn the pullback into support. If it repeatedly falls back below the moving average after the breakout, or even loses the $70,000 level again, the reliability of this signal will significantly decrease.
Therefore, I tend to view this as a medium-to-long-term bullish positive factor rather than a direct all-in buy signal.
Next, the focus is on whether the 1130-day SMA can complete the "resistance → support" flip, combined with ETF capital flows and weekly chart structure for judgment. If the pullback confirmation succeeds, the value of this signal will clearly increase.
#BTC冲高后震荡，ETF资金持续流入 #OKX预言家：F1与TI15赛果揭晓 Just now on OKX, $BTC hit a high of 79,999.8 USD, then quickly dropped back to around 78,500 USD. There was no simultaneous unexpected positive news; this breakout seems more like a continuation of the recent upward momentum, with a final concentrated release at 80,000 USD.
This recent move is more influenced by market factors. After BTC broke the previous high of 79,500 USD, it triggered short stop-losses and breakout buy orders near 80,000 USD. However, the funding rate is only about 0.0076%, the long-short ratio returned to around 1, and leverage is not at an extreme level, indicating this is not a forced pull-up by contracts alone.
The current question is whether it can hold above this level. After reaching 80,000 USD, it immediately pulled back, and selling pressure has appeared; if it can stabilize above 80,000 USD again, the next resistance is at 82,800–83,000 USD. If it fails to reclaim this level soon, watch 78,000 USD first, and if it dips further, look at 76,800–77,300 USD.
The long-term structure is not overheated yet, but the fear and greed index has risen to 73. The trend remains strong, but this is no longer a suitable point for emotional chasing. Touching 80,000 USD is not a breakout; holding above it is what counts.
#BTC冲高后震荡，ETF资金持续流入 A key event happened in the market last week. U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen doubled the scale of long-term Treasury repurchases from $2 billion to $4 billion, with the core purpose of lowering U.S. Treasury yields and reducing the U.S. government's financing costs.
After the policy was implemented, the 30-year Treasury yield fell from 5.34% to 5.19%, bonds rose, while BTC surged 7% in a single day, and gold XAU rose 4%.
At 2 a.m. tonight, a major event affecting BTC and ETH will take place: the U.S. will announce the latest sanctions details on Iran. Trump called this the strongest sanctions in history, comparable to the economic version of the Normandy landing.
The subsequent situation is not optimistic. Iran has clearly stated that if sanctions escalate, it will retaliate in kind. Currently, Iran deliberately left the Oman route open for crude oil transportation, allowing 8 million barrels of crude oil to be exported daily, stabilizing current oil prices, serving as a buffer space for the game between both sides.
But if the U.S. implements the ultimate sanctions, Iran will leave no room, likely fully blocking the Strait of Hormuz, affecting the Mand Strait, striking oil ports along the route, and even causing a complete halt to Middle East crude oil exports.
The current market is generally optimistic, believing the situation will likely be more bark than bite, so oil prices have temporarily fallen and are waiting. But the risk cannot be ignored; the implementation of sanctions could easily trigger an escalation of conflicts in the Middle East. #BTC冲高后震荡，ETF资金持续流入 #ETH触及2500美元后震荡 #OKX预言家：F1与TI15赛果揭晓 $BTC $ETH $2.6 billion poured in, but BTC still hasn't broken above 80,000 — what exactly is the market waiting for?
This time, the feeling is indeed different.
Last week, the combined inflow into $BTC spot ETF and $ETH spot ETF was about $2.6 billion, marking the strongest single-week record since October last year. BlackRock's IBIT alone took in $503 million in a single day, large holders stopped selling and started accumulating, and whales have hoarded 43,000 BTC over the past 60 days. The capital rotation chain is also very clear — BTC broke through first, ETH followed with nearly a 30% rise, ZEC surged 75% weekly hitting a historic high, ENA skyrocketed nearly 100%, altcoins and Meme coins began to take over, very much like what a bull market should look like.
But the problem is, BTC got stuck around $79,400, then pulled back to oscillate between $77,000 and $78,000, never managing to break above the 80,000 mark with volume.
The money really did come in, but the price didn’t respond accordingly.
Here’s a detail worth pondering: over $2.7 billion worth of shorts were liquidated this week, and the core driver pushing prices up was forced short covering, not new buying entering the market. After the shorts were wiped out, the largest marginal buying power also disappeared — which explains the divergence of "new highs with decreasing volume."
In other words, the market is simulating "strong bulls" through "short liquidation," but these two are not equivalent.
More subtly, the macro environment is also fermenting in advance. The U.S. Treasury doubled the scale of long-term bond repos, signaling liquidity easing, and the crypto market is using immediate high leverage to digest macro benefits that have not yet fully transmitted. Meanwhile, this week’s PCE inflation data and Fed Chair Waller’s speech are about to be released; if expectations are disappointed, the early pricing could quickly turn into overpricing.
So, rather than rushing to call a "turnaround," it’s better to focus on a few more honest signals:
- Whether ETFs see net outflows for three consecutive days — a true thermometer of institutional allocation willingness
- Whether BTC can break above and hold 80,000 — not just touching it, but holding it
- Whether funding rates remain positive after falling — whether long leverage has truly been cleared
$2.6 billion is indeed a strong signal, but a strong signal does not equal certainty. The market has given a bullish reason, but also left an unresolved question: when the short squeeze dividend is exhausted and macro expectations face testing, how long can this upward momentum last?
The answer may come this week.
#BTC冲高后震荡，ETF资金持续流入 If you haven't gotten on board yet, hurry up and get on.
BTC just touched a high of 79934.
Rounded up, that's 80k.
My 78 $ETH long positions have already gained 8300U in floating profit.
At this point, why would you get off?
This round is aiming for 2600 first.
Just go straight up.
Trust me.
The bull market is already at the doorstep.
——
ETH is now fluctuating between 2460 and 2500.
A 24-hour increase of about 1%.
It has risen nearly 30% in seven days.
Last week, spot ETF net inflows were $697 million.
Both spot and institutional funds are pouring in.
But contract open interest has already reached around $32.3 billion.
Leverage is also stacked very high.
So there will definitely be some mid-way shakeouts.
It might come back to test around 2350.
My cost basis is exactly 2357.
This level must hold for me.
——
$TRUMP's current rise is not normal.
Trading volume is still six to seven hundred million dollars.
Almost on par with circulating market cap.
This indicates very fierce turnover inside.
And on-chain data shows
team-related addresses just sold out 3.39 million USDC.
This thing is pumping while dumping at the same time.
If it can hold near 2.30, it might rebound to 2.70.
Only above that do I look at 3 dollars.
I might take a small bite,
but definitely wouldn't go all in at the peak.
——
$ZEC
Grayscale Zcash Trust is expected to be listed on NYSE Arca on August 25,
ticker ZCSH.
This is the core reason for the recent surge of funds into ZEC.
If 800 holds, continue to watch the previous high at 865.
If it really breaks through, some might even call for 900 or 1000.
But the listing still depends on regulatory procedures.
Be careful of a final wave of positive news realization.
Don't short this coin recklessly,
and don't blindly chase it.
——
There's another piece of news not to be ignored.
The U.S. Treasury may use nearly $1 trillion of TGA funds to expand long-term bond buybacks.
The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield has fallen back from around 4.70%.
This is a short-term breath of oxygen for crypto.
But this does not mean the Fed is officially cutting rates or easing.
So BTC holding above 80k,
and ETH reaching 2600 is not a dream.
If it doesn't hold,
my 8300U profit might disappear overnight.

#ETH触及2500美元后震荡 Friends who are not rushing into a bull frenzy yet,
There is a major event tonight that will have a significant impact on btc and eth.
At 2 AM, the US will announce the details of sanctions on Iran, which could become a major short-term variable for BTC and ETH.
If the sanctions exceed expectations and Iran escalates the conflict further, once the risk of the Strait of Hormuz is repriced, oil prices and risk aversion sentiment will rise, and BTC and ETH may face a wave of sharp rises followed by pullbacks.
But the market hasn't turned bad yet. Ethereum hasn't disappointed me, once again breaking above 2500, clearly outperforming altcoins compared to BTC. I am focusing on BTC at 83000; if it holds here, ETH will continue to strengthen, and I even think there is a real chance for this cycle to reach 5000.
It's normal for altcoins to dip slightly now, as funds are concentrating on BTC and ETH. I won't chase tonight; I'll wait for the news at midnight to settle before deciding the next step.

#ETH触及2500美元后震荡
#美伊制裁升级，能源通胀风险回升 The rise in U.S. Treasury yields and the suppression of overall tech sector risk appetite ahead of Nvidia's earnings report have led to $xSKHY being hit by sector sell-offs, clearing long positions. However, the technical barriers built through early sample delivery are now competing with expectations of market share loss.
On the market front, after a 5.5% drop last Friday, $xSKHY fell another 3%+ today, showing that tight macro liquidity is suppressing valuation multiples of high-level hardware sectors, with long funds being squeezed out before major events. The underlying order logic remains strong; on June 18, 12-layer HBM4E samples (48GB, pin rate 16Gbps, 20% energy efficiency improvement, 17% thermal resistance reduction) were delivered to core customers, securing a first-mover advantage in the generational race.
In terms of driving factors, the top is the decline in macro risk appetite triggered by high U.S. Treasury yields, followed by option hedging demand sparked by Nvidia's earnings, while early HBM4E sample delivery and capacity expansion on the industry side are core elements supporting the long-term valuation floor. The company raised $29.4 billion in its July 10 Nasdaq IPO, having invested 45.5 trillion KRW in M100 capacity expansion and 11.9 trillion KRW in EUV equipment procurement, along with 40 trillion KRW in cancelable buybacks to buffer short-term liquidation pressure.
In the bullish scenario, if Nvidia's earnings exceed expectations and release risk appetite, and global HBM demand breaks through 30 billion Gb as expected this year, the overall market expansion will absorb the shrinkage expectation of market share dropping from 59% to 50%. This scenario requires monitoring whether long positions flow back into the AI hardware leader; a failure signal would be continued tightening of macro liquidity causing a second sector bottom test.
In the bearish scenario, if the high-interest-rate environment drags the valuation baseline further down and competitors catch up faster than expected in the second half, valuation restructuring pressure will suppress stock price rebound space. This scenario is triggered by continued U.S. Treasury yield rises causing sector-wide valuation cuts; monitoring competitors' mass production progress is necessary, with a failure signal being early completion of HBM4E customer validation.
When macro inflation expectations heat up again or U.S. Treasury yields surge beyond expectations, even with industry-leading technology, overall position clearing will dominate short-term trends.
The core variables to watch in the next 7 days are the direction of U.S. Treasury yield changes and the strength of risk appetite recovery in the overall chip sector after Nvidia's earnings release.
#卡什卡利称美债未失灵，长债回购能否治本？ #美伊制裁升级，能源通胀风险回升$BTC & $ETH : IS HISTORY ECHOING AGAIN?
In 2022, $BTC fell to $17.7K in June, rallied sharply, then retested lows near $15.8K. $ETH followed a similar path.
In 2026, $BTC has again rebounded strongly from below $60K toward $80K, while $ETH recovered above $2.4K. But this cycle has a major difference: institutional demand is returning through spot ETFs, with recent weekly inflows approaching $2B for Bitcoin and nearly $700M for Ethereum.
Is this a real cycle bottom—or another relief rally? 🔥 After the BTC rebound, where is the capital flowing? Key conclusions: The current market risk appetite has clearly recovered, but it cannot yet be defined as a full Altseason. BTC remains the core of capital, ETH is starting to take over, some large Altcoins are seeing capital dispersion, and the real key lies in whether subsequent liquidity can continue to transmit to the altcoin market. 1. Market capital behavior The recent BTC rebound is mainly driven by ETF capital inflows + short covering + improved liquidity expectations. BTC ETF net inflow is about $1.9 billion per week, ETH ETF about $700 million, indicating institutional capital is re-entering the market. However, BTC Dominance remains high, meaning capital still favors core assets. The capital flow path is closer to: BTC → ETH → large-cap Altcoins → mid/small-cap, rather than full dispersion. 2. Divergent performance across sectors BTC / ETH: Institutional capital is most clear, ETH is relatively strengthening compared to BTC, ETH/BTC is an important indicator to judge Altseason. Large-cap Altcoins: Large public chains like SOL are beginning to attract risk capital attention, but volume support is needed to confirm the trend. Mid/Small-cap: More elastic but with higher liquidity risk, currently more like an early stage of capital risk appetite dispersion. Meme: The strongest sentiment and largest volatility, usually the most liquid phase After looking at Bitcoin from multiple angles, my broader view remains unchanged. Short-term strength does not automatically invalidate a larger bearish thesis. A market can rally aggressively, create renewed optimism, and still remain within a larger corrective structure. The historical comparison I’m watching is the 2013–2015 bearish phase. That cycle demonstrated how Bitcoin could produce powerful rallies during a broader correction—rallies strong enough to convince market participants that t$xSKHY SK Hynix got hit along with the sector, but HBM4E samples were delivered a month earlier than Samsung's
Sector pullback, innocent collateral damage. Today the memory sector collectively weakened, with SK Hynix dropping over 3% (already down 5.5% last Friday). Honestly, this round of decline has little to do with Hynix itself; the combination of NVDA earnings week and high US Treasury yields hit the entire AI hardware chain.
HBM4E sample delivery took the lead. On June 18, they delivered 12-layer HBM4E samples (48GB, 16Gbps pin rate, +20% energy efficiency, -17% thermal resistance) to major customers, earlier than industry expectations and directly competing with Samsung's move at the end of May. HBM4 is already in mass production and shipment in Q2, with expansion planned for the second half of the year. Hynix's pace makes it the "front-runner" in the HBM generational race.
Raised $29.4 billion in US stock market listing. On July 10, SKHY was listed on Nasdaq, with a financing scale ranking among the top three IPOs globally, comparable to Saudi Aramco. All funds are invested in capacity: 45.5 trillion KRW for M100 expansion + 11.9 trillion KRW for EUV lithography machine procurement. Along with 40 trillion KRW in cancelable buybacks for shareholder returns, the ammunition and sincerity are top-notch.
How much market share will be lost? Optimists say: the HBM market will exceed 30 billion Gb this year, the cake is growing faster than the rate of share loss, and Hynix's deepest binding with NVDA is currently unbeatable; cautious view: TrendForce predicts Hynix's HBM share will shrink from 59% to 50%Still guessing this wave was driven to the top by retail FOMO? Nearly $2 billion in weekly ETF inflows directly slap the answer in the face.
The US spot Bitcoin ETF had a net inflow of $1.92 billion last week, marking the strongest single-week record since October 2025, with Bitcoin briefly breaking $78,000 on Friday.
This scale indicates that institutional allocation funds are accelerating their return, with the ETF channel being the core incremental source of this rally, rather than pure short-term speculation.
Somewhat bullish. Continuous ETF accumulation provides solid fundamental support for BTC's mid-term trend, but profit-taking pressure rises simultaneously after rapid price surges.
The key is whether subsequent inflows can continue—if capital remains strong, the correction space is limited; if inflows drop sharply, beware of a high-level pullback. Momentum chasers should control their positions and leverage.

#BTC #Crypto100W$BTC sits at $78,734, brushing the "no chase" line right on cue. But the "altcoins can't keep up" read cuts against what's actually on today's board — $SPK, $VIRTUAL, $MORPHO all ripped double digits. My take: this isn't dead breadth, it's selective breadth — quality alts with real usage are moving, dead weight isn't. The caution on chasing majors near resistance still holds. The blanket altcoin warning doesn't, not today.
#ETHTests2500 #OKXOutcomeF1TI15Recap #BTCETFInflowsSurge Regarding the idea that some coins are being drained by $BTC and $ETH, this notion does not exist. The market's funds are not a fixed pool, and it's not that if BTC receives an inflow of 100 million, altcoins must lose 100 million. What actually happens is that funds are repriced across different risk levels. When BTC and ETH are strong, it often means overall risk appetite and off-exchange incremental funds are rising. Whether this money continues to spread to altcoins is another matter.
So, many altcoins stagnate after their first surge not because they are being drained by someone, but more accurately, this is sector rotation and a shift in capital preference. At different stages, the market concentrates funds in different directions. When BTC and ETH are strong, funds prefer to cluster in large-cap and highly liquid assets. After this phase ends, profits and risk appetite may then spread to other altcoins or sectors. This also explains why when BTC consolidates at a high level, a certain sector suddenly explodes.
When BTC rises, people say BTC is draining liquidity; when ETH rises, they say ETH is draining liquidity; when Meme coins rise, they say Meme coins are pulling liquidity from altcoins. According to this logic, whoever rises is draining liquidity, so you can always find a scapegoat.
What really happens is sector rotation, with funds flowing to different directions at different stages. Understand? You need to differentiate sectors; it's not like in 2021 when the pool of funds was abundant and everything rose together.
If every time your holdings don't rise, you have to find a "vampire" culprit, it only shows that your understanding of capital rotation is still quite superficial.The most valuable experience in the crypto world isn't about which entry or exit points to choose, but learning to coexist peacefully with your own hands.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling trading software over and over, more than a dozen times, only to realize the problem wasn't the software, but myself.
Later, I changed a habit: every time I want to place an order, I first write down the reason and review it the next day.
The next morning, eight out of ten reasons usually seem unnecessary, saving me enough in transaction fees for several barbecue meals.
$BTC I started buying at 48,000, didn't dare to move when it dropped to 30,000, and didn't sell all when it rose back to 50,000, just kept a base position.
Now I don't even look at that base position, just treat it as a blind box for myself ten years from now.
I don't even bother with simulated contracts because I know I can't control my hands, so I simply don't start.
I treat all news as background noise now, like “institutional accumulation” or “regulatory rumors”; hearing them too much is just white noise.
I only trust one old trick: when the market chatter among the vegetable vendors is about stocks, that's when I should be selling some coins.
$ETH I hold the least because each transfer hurts, but whenever the on-chain activity is lively, it feels like the network is still valuable.
I split my replenishment into five parts, adding one part every 10% drop, but at most three times, leaving the rest to watch the show.
If it drops after three replenishments, it means I was wrong; I accept the loss and exit without lingering.
I set stop-loss orders at 10% below cost but leave a small margin in case of a wick that recovers, so I don't lose everything.
The first thing I do after making money is to take out half and convert it into supermarket gift cards to spend for real.
The money you spend is truly yours; the numbers in your account might belong to someone else someday.
$SOL I only observe the position, watching it drop from over two hundred, without acting, because I never understood its moat.
If you don't understand it, don't touch it; this rule has helped me avoid many traps.
Now I fix my daily market-watching time at 8 PM, then turn off the computer and never scroll on my phone again.
The time saved allowed me to read a few leisure books and even learn to steam fish; life is much better than staring at the market.
Actually, there is no secret in the crypto world; the secret is: keep your position light, look at longer cycles, and live a grounded life.
No matter how lively the market is, don't let it stop you from having a solid good night's sleep—that's the real compound interest. #ETH触及2500美元后震荡

#杰克逊霍尔临近，沃什能否明确政策路径 In these years of playing with virtual currencies, my biggest progress isn't how much money I've made, but that I no longer beat my chest and regret losing money.
I used to rush to recover losses after a small loss, but the more I tried, the more I lost, like a headless fly.
Later, I learned to be smarter. Before every trade, I ask myself: If this money is gone, can I still laugh?
If I can't laugh, I don't buy. This rule has saved me several times.
$BTC I started dollar-cost averaging from fifty thousand, continuing all the way down to twenty-seven thousand without stopping.
Now the average price isn't low, but I don't expect to get rich quickly; I just treat it as saving a hope for the future.
I've only played contracts on the demo account, earning tens of millions of virtual coins, then lost it all—quite thrilling.
But I absolutely won't touch real money because I know even playing demo makes my heart race; real money would definitely be unbearable.
I quit all the news groups, leaving only one silent group where I occasionally watch others argue for fun.
The louder the shouting in the group, the less I dare to act; those slogans sound like pyramid schemes.
$ETH I use as a tool; when gas fees are low, I make a few transfers to get familiar with on-chain operations.
I don't care much about price going up or down because the volume is small; if I lose it all, it's just the cost of a hotpot meal.
I have only one method for averaging down: split into three times, add once every 15% drop, otherwise wait.
While waiting, do whatever you need to do; never watch the price every day—that's too torturous.
I set stop-loss orders very wide but always set them because that's the last safety rope.
When it hits, cut losses, then delete from favorites, never look back to avoid heartache.
When I make money, I first take out half, convert it to physical goods or fixed deposits, and let the rest keep rolling.
The money taken out is used to buy practical things for the family, like a good vacuum cleaner.
$SOL I only keep an observation position because it drops too sharply; I don't dare to hold heavy positions.
But it also reminds me that no matter how strong the track is, control your position size and don't get carried away.
Now I check the market no more than three times a day, each time no more than three minutes, saving time to play games.
I don't mind losing games, and I don't panic when coins drop; my mindset has improved a lot.
Actually, the crypto world doesn't have that many secrets; the secret is to move less, hold light positions, and survive longer.
No matter how good the market is, don't let it interfere with your eating and sleeping—that's the real skill. #ETH触及2500美元后震荡
#OKX预言家：F1与TI15赛果揭晓
#杰克逊霍尔临近，沃什能否明确政策路径 Brothers, a landmark event has occurred in the AI industry chain. According to Bloomberg on August 22, Nvidia has notified some of its largest customers that the prices of servers equipped with AI chips will generally increase, with most price hikes exceeding 15%. This price increase will take effect starting with systems shipped early next year, affecting products including complete systems equipped with flagship Vera Rubin and Grace Blackwell chips. The specific price increase depends on the GPU generation and memory configuration—some GB300 and Vera Rubin 200 systems are expected to see about a 17% price increase. ODM manufacturers that produce servers for major companies like Microsoft, Google, and Oracle have already issued price adjustment notices to downstream customers. The fundamental reason for the price increase is only one: soaring storage chip costs. Nvidia's AI accelerator performance heavily depends on the accompanying DRAM and HBM capacity. Globally, DRAM/HBM production capacity is almost entirely divided among Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron. Although these three major manufacturers continue to expand production, the growth rate of capacity still lags far behind the explosive growth in AI infrastructure demand. Even Nvidia can't withstand this, which is the most thought-provoking aspect of this matter. Nvidia's 75% gross margin, TSMC's prioritized production capacity, and an almost monopolized AI software ecosystem— the market assumes Nvidia can easily absorb any cost fluctuations. But this server price increase shows that even Nvidia, at the top of the industry chain, is being constrained by upstream storage components. The higher the HBM configuration of the model, the more significant the cost impact. Storage manufacturers are leveragingThe consolidation of US tech stocks at high levels has prompted South Korean retail investors to take profits and exit, while cross-market funds are accelerating their flow into highly elastic crypto assets. Upbit's single-day trading volume surged 250% to $1.8 billion, with the XRP/KRW trading pair reaching $319 million and the kimchi premium standing at -0.5%. If the pressure from a pullback in the US tech sector persists and US Treasury yields stabilize, this round of incremental Korean won funds will continue to support trading in mainstream tokens. The criteria for invalidating the market trend include severe volatility in US stocks causing liquidity tightening or a significant drop in Upbit's trading volume.
#英伟达AI服务器或涨价超15% #美伊制裁升级，能源通胀风险回升 @交易员刺客 The main theme of this live stream is very clear: he believes that when $BTC hits $80,000, both the upside potential and short-term risks are simultaneously increasing, so he chooses to set up short positions around $79,000 to $80,000. After the live stream ended, the official OKX replay showed a total of 21,570 views. The entire session lasted about 4 hours, during which he not only discussed direction but also openly addressed adding positions, reducing positions, hedging, and emotional control. Assassin's judgment on BTC is not "a guaranteed drop at $80,000." He repeatedly reminded that if the price effectively breaks above $80,000, it could continue to $82,000; but before it stabilizes, he prefers to treat the $78,800 to $79,200 range as the base position zone and looks for opportunities to add positions above $79,500. During the live stream, he gave an add position level around $79,558 and set about $80,400 as a clear invalidation reference. These numbers were slightly adjusted during trading, so a more reasonable understanding is a "range plan" rather than rigidly applying a single price point. What really needs caution is the position size. He repeatedly emphasized to the audience that the base position only uses about 1% to 1.5% margin, and even with 100x leverage, the overall exposure should be kept low through small margin. But as the market approached $80,000, his personal displayed position increased from 10 BTC to 20 BTC, later mentioning 50 BTC, and said he first transferred 500,000 USDT as margin buffer. He also admitted to being "overconfident" and "overexposed," even showing obvious nervousness after holding the position. The price then declined, and Assassin initially said on the live stream that this BTC position...BTC reported at $78,980, consolidating near the daily high, just one step away from the 80,000 round number. It has rebounded nearly 27% over 8 days. Spot ETFs saw a total net inflow of about $2.6 billion last week (BTC products about $1.92 billion + ETH products about $680 million), with institutional investors taking over short covering as the main buying force.
ETH simultaneously rose above 2500 (currently at 2512), with a weekly gain of about 25%, outperforming BTC by approximately 1.5 percentage points. The 2500 level has shifted from resistance to the daily pivot, with support at 2440 and resistance at the previous high of 2530.
Capital structure: Weak dollar (DXY 98.9) + long-term bond yields retreating from highs + expectations of US Treasury balance sheet expansion, three factors resonating to boost non-sovereign asset revaluation; gold also broke 4600, confirming the return of "safe-haven trading."
This week's catalysts:
8/27–29 Jackson Hole Global Central Bank Annual Meeting: Powell's debut sets the tone, anti-inflation roadmap > hints of rate cuts
8/27 04:00 Nvidia after-hours earnings: revenue consensus ~ $92 billion, Blackwell shipments and data center guidance will determine AI chain risk appetite
8/29 20:30 US July Core PCE: if 0.1%, rate constraints may ease; if 0.3%, real yield suppression continues. #BTC冲高后震荡，ETF资金持续流入 #ETH触及2500美元后震荡 $BTC $ETH The market rose 24% this week, but OKB only increased by 4%: fundamentals are not bad, so why is it just not moving?
Tonight $OKB is hovering around $110, only up 4% this week, while BTC rose 23.6%. Compared to the beta nature of exchange tokens in the past, this data is frankly failing. On a 30-day scale, however, it’s quite strong, +34.85%, indicating it had risen in the previous wave but lagged behind this round.
The reason for lagging is not complicated. The fuel for this rally was short squeeze + ETF funds; OKB has no US stock ETFs, and derivative short positions are not crowded, so the sentiment transmission to it weakened into a "slow-following rally." On 8/21, it was pulled from 100.9 to 108, then fell back—a typical passive catch-up rise.
But there are three fundamental cards yet to be played. ICE (the parent company of NYSE) strategically invested in OKX and jointly launched compliant crypto futures, opening imagination space for traditional financial channels; after the X Layer upgrade, OKB became the only Gas token, with a fixed supply of 21 million and continuous burning, making its tokenomics the cleanest among exchange tokens; plus the IPO expectation hanging over it. These are not news this week but are slow variables.
The position is very delicate. On this day one year ago (2025/8/22), OKB hit its $256 ATH, now at $110, just halved. The KDJ J value of 104 is severely overbought, $108-110 is a previous dense trading zone with many trapped positions. $100 is the lifeline; if it doesn’t break, it will continue to consolidate. 比特币再次成为全场唯一的焦点，价格在七万七千至七万八千美元区间内反复确认，此前一度逼近七万九千五百美元。以太坊则稳稳站在两千四百美元上方，两大资产共同托住了市场的情绪底线。这轮反弹的背后，ETF 资金的持续流入与空头回补形成了合力，但资金似乎并未真正扩散开来，比特币依然像一块巨大的磁铁，把场内流动性牢牢吸附在自己身边。 真正值得留意的，是山寨币阵营的沉默。BEAT、BICO、KAITO、LAB 和 SNDK 这些名字虽然偶有异动，却始终缺乏持续的买盘跟进，K 线结构也没有出现像样的反转形态。它们更像是在等待一个信号，而不是主动发起进攻。这种局面并不罕见，但每一次出现，都意味着市场仍处于比特币主导的阶段，而非真正的普涨行情。 从资金轮动的角度看，当前最关键的观察点在于流动性是否愿意外溢。如果比特币和以太坊之外的交易量始终无法放大，那么这轮上涨就只能定义为一轮由龙头带动的修复，而非山寨季的开幕。历史上，山寨季的启动往往伴随着比特币进入高位震荡、资金开始寻找更高弹性标的的过程，而眼下显然还没有走到那一步。 对于普通参与者来说，这样的市场节奏其实是一种提醒：不要因为比特币的强势就下意识认为所有比特币近期迎来一轮猛烈反弹，从6.4万区间快速冲高，逼近80000美元关口，创出一段时间以来最大单周美元涨幅。不少前期低位离场的交易者，对此轮行情感慨颇多。 梳理市场公开信息，本轮行情大致由三股力量共振推动： 1️⃣美债流动性变化 美国财政部扩大长期国债回购规模，30年期美债收益率从5.34%回落至5.19%。无风险收益率下行，一部分资金从债市流出，风险资产的配置吸引力提升。 2️⃣大规模空头被迫平仓 单周有数十亿美元的看跌头寸遭到清算，形成典型逼空行情。空头平仓买入进一步助推短期价格上行，放大了反弹幅度。 3️⃣现货ETF资金回流 美国比特币现货ETF录得大额周度净流入，创下去年10月之后的较高水平，机构现货买盘给盘面带来支撑力量。 全球债务规模不断走高，桥水达利欧也公开提及比特币可以作为小比例多元化配置的资产选项，市场对于加密资产的讨论度持续走高。 当下8万是一个很关键的心理关口。 市场分化成两种声音：一部分人看好继续向上拓展空间；另一部分观点认为，短期上涨速度过快，后续存在回踩震荡的可能性。 💬互动： 站在现在这个节点，你更倾向哪种看法？ A 有望继续向上试探 B 涨幅过猛，大$DOGE is now $0.0905, up 34% in 7 days, with a market cap of $14 billion, climbing to the tenth spot in crypto market cap.
Looks impressive, but breaking it down reveals old stories. RSI at 85.9 is severely overbought; 24h trading volume is $2 billion, open interest contracts at $1 billion, with leverage positions piled high. More importantly, this rally basically has nothing to do with $DOGE itself—BTC and ETH are up, and meme coins as high Beta tail assets are being pulled along, which is different from Musk’s 2021 pump.
Dogecoin’s fundamentals haven’t changed in ten years: 5 billion new coins minted annually, unlimited supply, inflation rate over 5%. It survives on community culture and celebrity effect, with no smart contracts, no DeFi ecosystem, no institutional narrative. This kind of coin has high bull market elasticity but crashes hardest in bear markets.
I’m not saying DOGE can’t rise, but talking about faith at this level is a bit ridiculous. After a 34% rise in 7 days, those buying in are gambling on "Musk tweeting again"—this isn’t investing, it’s a lottery.
My judgment: there’s still short-term momentum to push higher, but a 20%-30% pullback at any time wouldn’t be surprising. Don’t chase meme coin tail rallies with long-term positions. Talking fundamentals after a surge is mostly just finding excuses for yourself.
#杰克逊霍尔临近，沃什能否明确政策路径 $BTC & $ETH: Is history repeating itself?
In 2022, $BTC dropped to 17.7K in June, then saw a strong rebound, but eventually retested the low near 15.8K. $ETH showed a similar pattern at that time.
Fast forward to 2026, $BTC once again rebounded strongly from below 60K, approaching 80K at one point, while $ETH climbed back above 2.4K.
But this time there is a clear difference:
Institutional funds are returning.
Recent inflows into US spot ETFs show Bitcoin had nearly $2 billion in weekly inflows, and Ethereum ETF inflows were close to $700 million.
So the real question to focus on is:
Is this the true cycle bottom, or just another strong technical rebound?
The price structure, ETF fund flows, and market volume in the coming weeks may determine whether this rebound evolves into a new trend.

#DailyOrbit Playing with virtual currency for four years, my biggest insight is not to fight against your own holdings.
You can't hold when it rises, and even less when it falls, ending up working for the exchange.
Later, I came up with a simple trick: set an alarm clock every time I buy, and check back after three months.
Price fluctuations in between don’t matter; as long as the alarm hasn’t gone off, I don’t touch it.
As a result, most of my profits came from those trades locked by the alarm.
I started buying $BTC in batches from 42,000, down to 26,000, with an average cost just over 30,000.
Now that the price has recovered quite a bit, I haven’t sold all, just 30%, keeping the rest locked.
The locking method is simple: transfer to a cold wallet, then hide the mnemonic phrase in a cabinet at my hometown.
Want to sell? You have to go back home first, and the hassle cuts my impulse in half.
I tried futures once, lost 2,000 in five minutes, and blacklisted it ever since.
That 2,000 was like buying a ticket to realize my own limits.
Now I treat news as jokes; things like “whale transfers” or “policy rumors” are all distractions.
Useful info is often hidden in on-chain data on blockchain explorers, but that’s too exhausting.
So I simply don’t look; I only watch one indicator: whether people around are still talking about crypto.
When no one talks, I buy a bit; when everyone talks, I sell a bit—simple and straightforward.
I also have some $ETH, but not much, mainly to experience gas fees and catch upgrade bonuses.
I found watching gas fees is way more interesting than watching candlesticks; at least you can guess if the network is busy.
I always add to my position in three parts, buying one part every 20% drop, never acting before that.
When my bullets are gone, I close the app and never add more capital—that’s my bottom line.
I set stop-loss orders 15% below my purchase price; if hit, I accept the loss and leave.
Once I leave, I never look back, even if it rises tenfold later, it’s none of my business.
The first thing I do with profits is withdraw them, using the money to buy new appliances or a bag for my wife.
Seeing her happy is a hundred times more reassuring than watching floating profits.
I only hold a tiny base of $SOL, purely to observe the ecosystem.
When it dropped from over 200 to single digits, I didn’t add because I didn’t understand it.
Not understanding means no touching—that’s my strictest rule now.
Finally, one sentence: don’t treat the crypto world like a casino; treat it like a piggy bank—once you put money in, don’t always think about breaking it open.
Life goes on as usual, work goes on as usual, crypto prices do whatever they want, but it doesn’t affect what’s for dinner tonight. #ETH触及2500美元后震荡
#OKX预言家：F1与TI15赛果揭晓
#杰克逊霍尔临近，沃什能否明确政策路径 Approaching the August 28 unlock, $GRASS shows a continuous decline in contract CVD while both trading volume and open interest expand, and the price remains resilient. This divergence, where active selling pressure increases on the derivatives side but spot buying absorbs it, indicates that bullish and bearish funds are concentrating on turnover. If open interest stays high and contract CVD turns upward, exhaustion of active selling could easily trigger a short squeeze; conversely, if spot selling pressure breaks liquidity on the unlock day, the market will face a pullback risk. If open interest significantly exits in advance, it means the absorbing buyers are retreating, and the subsequent focus will be on the dynamic changes of contract CVD and open interest around the unlock period.
#财报观察员：英伟达领衔，AI回报进入验证期 #ETH触及2500美元后震荡午间时分，美盘尚未开启，市场却已悄然积蓄着一股力量。比起追涨杀跌，此刻更值得静下心来梳理这轮行情的底层逻辑，等待流动性回归后再做打算。 宏观层面的叙事依然清晰而有力。美联储将长期国债回购规模提升了一倍，直接推动30年期美债收益率从5.34%回落至5.19%。美元的走弱为风险资产打开了一扇窗，而达利欧旗下桥水基金公开表态债务不可持续，进一步强化了货币贬值交易的逻辑。这不是一两天的噪音，而是支撑中期趋势的基石。 资金面的信号同样值得玩味。现货比特币ETF本周净流入16亿美元，其中贝莱德旗下IBIT单只产品便贡献超过5亿。以太坊ETF也不甘示弱，同期净流入6.97亿。值得注意的是，尽管市场对CLARITY法案的通过预期并不高，但SEC与CFTC各自推进监管框架的举动，正让资金从单纯的BTC扩散至更广泛的替代币种，市场结构比前几周更健康了。 具体来看，比特币现报76800美元，上周五曾触及79500，周末小幅回撤至75500，全周涨幅达23%，创下2023年3月以来最佳单周表现。小时级别的底部不断抬高，76300至76600一带是较为扎实的买入支撑区，止损可参考75500下方。上方78400到近期加密市场在反弹后进入高位拉锯阶段，BTC围绕7.5-7.8万美元窄幅震荡，ETH在2380-2550美元宽幅波动。多数人习惯用“龙头跟涨”的老眼光看两者，却忽略了一个核心变化：本轮行情中BTC与ETH的抗跌性与爆发力已经完全错配——BTC用强抗跌性换来了上涨的慢节奏，ETH用高爆发力换来了回调的高波动。这种能力的不对等，恰恰是下阶段行情的胜负手，看懂错配逻辑才能找准自己的交易节奏。 先看BTC，它是当前市场里抗跌性最强的品种，但上涨爆发力显著偏弱。抗跌性体现在极致的支撑韧性：本轮反弹后最大回撤仅4%左右，周末市场集中回调时BTC跌幅仅2.4%，几乎是ETH的一半；价格每次下探至7.5万美元一线都会快速收回，日内回撤基本控制在3%以内，很少出现恐慌性跳水。背后的核心支撑是机构底仓的稳定性：近一个月现货BTC ETF累计净流入超37亿美元，头部机构产品保持匀速吸金，即便在震荡期也没有出现大幅净流出；链上交易所BTC持续净流出，大户将币提至冷存储锁定，中长期筹码基本不参与短期交易。 但与之对应的是上涨爆发力不足。价格逼近8万美元整数关口时屡屡遇阻，始终无法有效突破，每次冲高至7.9万美元BTC suddenly surged to the doorstep of $80,000, and this time, it’s not just the shorts that got crushed.
Many people's first reaction to this BTC rebound is: another short squeeze.
But if you only see it as a short squeeze, you might be underestimating this market move.
In late August, BTC quickly rose from just above $60,000, once approaching $80,000. The latest data shows that on August 24, BTC was still trading around $79,000, indicating that after the surge, it didn’t immediately give back all the gains.
More importantly, there’s an interesting combination behind this rise.
US Treasury yields fell, shorts were liquidated en masse, and ETF funds flowed back in simultaneously.
In the past five trading days, the US spot BTC ETF saw continuous net inflows totaling about $1.918 billion; the spot ETH ETF had net inflows of about $697 million during the same period, with these two product types attracting roughly $2.6 billion combined. This is one of the strongest weeks since 2026.
So this time, BTC’s surge wasn’t simply driven by the futures market forcibly pushing the price up.
Looking at the capital flow rhythm, from August 19 to 21, BTC spot ETF daily net inflows were approximately $517 million, $606 million, and $308 million respectively. Consecutive days of large inflows indicate that this rebound is at least no longer just short covering but shows signs of spot capital re-entering the market.
But personally, I think the truly noteworthy point is right here.
After BTC rose to $78,000, $79,000, and even near $80,000, the nature of the market has started to change.
The first half was shorts disbelieving and getting squeezed out.
The second half is bulls starting to believe, even worrying about getting in too late.
Once the market enters this stage, the risk actually increases.
Because the most intense short squeezes are often when chips are most easily exchanged. Earlier, shorts stopped losses by buying in; now, if the price continues to hold high without falling, it will attract new leveraged longs entering.
This is what we really need to watch next.
From a macro perspective, after the US Treasury expanded long-term bond repurchase operations, long-term US Treasury yields fell, easing pressure on risk assets. This is also one of the key catalysts for BTC’s sudden acceleration this time. But note, expanding bond repurchases is not the same as the Fed starting QE; it should not be simply interpreted as "money printing."
So I now tend to interpret this round of gains as a re-pricing after an improvement in the funding environment, rather than a confirmed new bull market.
BTC has pulled back from the previous oversold area, but the $80,000 level will become a new watershed.
If it can consolidate at a high level, digest short-term profits, and ETF funds remain stable, then this rally has a chance to gradually evolve from a "short squeeze rebound" into a trend recovery.
But if the price can’t break $80,000, capital enthusiasm quickly cools, and leveraged longs start to pile up heavily, then just as shorts were squeezed out earlier, longs could be liquidated later.
So going forward, I won’t just focus on whether BTC breaks $80,000.
What really matters is, after reaching this point, will it hold sideways or fall?
If it holds sideways, it means capital is willing to buy at the high level.
If it can’t hold, then this rally might just be a beautiful short squeeze counterattack.
The biggest change for BTC this time isn’t how much it rose.
It’s that the force that had been suppressing it is starting to loosen.
As for whether $80,000 can truly be trampled underfoot, it depends on whether the incoming capital is long-term funds or another batch of leveraged traders chasing highs.

Seeing this news, I knew today was a bit stable
Nearly $1 trillion in the TGA fund pool
Long-term bond buybacks increased from $2 billion per time to at least $4 billion
This sentiment effect is basically like giving the market two small rate cuts
Of course, this is not a real rate cut
Nor is it the Fed directly flooding the market with liquidity
But as long as long-term US Treasury yields are pushed down
Risk assets can catch a breath
Before, the market was guided by negotiation progress
Then every day urging the Fed to help draw the line
The Fed didn’t cooperate
Now the Treasury Department is stepping in to draw it themselves 😂
But I’m still a bit anxious
Because what’s being talked about now is still a possible action
The exact scale and funding method haven’t been fully finalized
If expectations are hyped up and then crushed again

I’ll hold this position for now

The Treasury Department really added fuel to the market this time
But it’s just helping to suppress long-term rates
It can’t really be treated as unlimited liquidity injection

#ETH触及2500美元后震荡 Forwarded:
Something very strange is happening
Bitcoin surged from $64,000 to $79,000.
Now everyone thinks the bull market is back.
However, almost no one understands what triggered this move.
It all started with U.S. Treasury bonds.
The Treasury doubled the maximum size of long-term bond repos:
$2 billion → at least $4 billion per transaction.
Long-term yields instantly dropped.
Then Bitcoin started to rise:
$65,400 → $69,500
An almost instant increase of over $4,000.
Then Trump put cryptocurrency back on the agenda.
Strategic Bitcoin reserves began to be discussed again.
Bitcoin continued to rise:
$69,500 → $79,000
By then, the short squeeze had taken care of the rest.
Leveraged short positions were being eliminated.
Forced buying pushed BTC even higher.
$4 billion was liquidated in just 48 hours.
So the chain reaction is simple:
Treasury expands repo size
↓
Yields drop
↓
Trump rekindles hope for crypto
↓
Bitcoin rises
↓
Short positions liquidated
↓ Forced buying pushes BTC to $79,000
But everyone overlooked this:
This is not quantitative easing.
The Fed has not restarted the money printer.
And while everyone is celebrating the rise, the Fed is moving in the opposite direction.
The latest FOMC minutes show that a rate hike in September is still under discussion.
This is not the clean macro environment I expected for the start of a Bitcoin bull market.
And we've seen this trap before.
August 2022:
Bitcoin suddenly rose.
Everyone thought the bear market was over.
Then the bull trap failed, and BTC crashed again.
Same year.
Same excitement.
Same belief that the bottom had been reached.
And the macroeconomic situation is worse now.
War risks remain unresolved. Oil prices remain high.
The energy shock is not over.
Now there is one level more important than anything else:
$83,000-$85,000.
Reaching this level means nothing.
The key is to hold this level.
If Bitcoin reaches $83,000-$85,000 and is rejected, the bull trap remains.
If it breaks through this level and truly holds, the pattern will change. Bitcoin Hits Largest Weekly Gain in Three Years: Weekly Surge of 23% Reaches 79,000, How Will Spot Take Over After Short Squeeze?
Bitcoin recorded a 23% weekly surge last week, marking the largest weekly gain in over three years. Intraday, it touched a high of $79,000, making a push toward the historic $80,000 level.
This pulse-like rally is driven by two hardcore forces: first, the US spot ETF saw a massive net inflow of $1.92 billion in a single week, combined with macro liquidity injected by the US Treasury’s expanded long-term bond repurchase (Stealth QE); second, billions of dollars in shorts in the derivatives market faced a cascade of liquidations. A key micro signal is that open interest (OI) actually declined during the sharp rise, indicating the current rally is mainly driven by real spot buying and short covering, rather than fragile high-leverage long stacking.
Around $78,000, the market’s short-term floating profit has reached 75%, with short-term profit-taking and RSI’s phase of overbought conditions triggering intense high-level battles. Since leveraged counterparties have been deeply cleared out, whether the $80,000 level can hold depends entirely on the sustained net inflows from institutional ETFs and the willingness of spot CVD to actively absorb. The market has officially entered a right-side strength test phase.
#BTC冲高后震荡，ETF资金持续流入 Simply put, the ideal scenario in my mind is a mild PCE with the market staying calm or even a false breakout.
Then, no matter how much Nvidia's earnings beat expectations, it's already the last hurrah; this theme is old, and it's really hard to rise after all the buying.
After the earnings are released, they will find any angle to trigger a sell-off (waiting for some agreements at the China-US summit at the end of September before rising again).
Finally, on Friday, Powell will initiate a decisive move, which will lead to another wave of deflation and deleveraging.
If they want to be more aggressive, they will start releasing hawkish data from the PCE to raise rate hike expectations.
Then from September, the various non-farm payrolls and CPI data will continue to raise rate hike expectations, pushing the probability from the current 30% to 70% before the mid-September FOMC. By then, whether they hike rates or not won't matter; the market will have already completed price discovery during the rise in rate hike expectations.BTC has stagnated, breaking the previous high with divergence, it's time for a correction

Manage it yourself Currently, $GRASS shows a divergence where trading volume and open interest are rising simultaneously, but the contract CVD continues to trend downward. With the token unlock approaching on August 28, bearish selling pressure has been actively absorbed by spot and buy orders, leading to a critical juncture in the battle between bulls and bears.
From the perspective of derivatives and capital flows, the declining contract CVD indicates continuous active sell orders being released, but as volume and open interest expand, the price refuses to fall accordingly. This chip turnover state reflects that off-exchange funds are absorbing the bearish selling pressure.
The core factor driving the current market is primarily the psychological game around the unlock date, followed by the marginal strength of hedging short positions. Some token holders about to unlock choose to open short positions in the derivatives market in advance to hedge risks, concentrating selling pressure on the contract side.
The bullish scenario is based on the exhaustion of short liquidity. If derivatives open interest remains high and contract CVD stops declining and turns upward, active selling will fail to push prices down, triggering short liquidations and driving a short squeeze rally.
The bearish scenario depends on the intensity of concentrated selling on the unlock day. If large-scale dumping emerges on the spot side after the August 28 unlock, accompanied by a rapid plunge in contract CVD and a sharp drop in open interest, the current absorbing funds will be overwhelmed, causing a swift price pullback.
If the price breaks the preset stop-loss level or open interest significantly decreases before the price rises, it indicates that the buying funds absorbing selling pressure have withdrawn, and the short squeeze logic fails.
In the next 7 days, it is crucial to monitor whether contract CVD stops falling and rebounds, as well as changes in open interest and spot flows around August 28.
#英伟达AI服务器或涨价超15% #ZEC创站内历史新高，隐私资产重估$SNDK From above 1800 to around 1500, the bulls have taken significant paper profits, but Lucy's core judgment remains unchanged: this is a shakeout during an uptrend, not the end of the medium-term trend. She still sets 2000 as her target. The real conflict was that she chose to add positions in batches during the decline, rather than waiting for confirmation from the right. Once this script is judged correctly, the return is very flexible; If you misjudge, every additional position under high leverage narrows your escape path.
@山寨女王露西's original long positions are not chasing at high levels. She said she initially built positions around 1200 yuan, reduced positions in batches during the rise, then replenished them later. Currently, the overall cost is around 1400 yuan. Her plan is clear: add one more below 1500, add another near 1450, and if there is still emotional sell-off, then see if the 1350 to 1300 range can be supported. She believes the 1300 area is a key resistance turning support zone on the daily chart, and it will not be easy for the market to fall back to 1200 in one go.
But that doesn't mean there's no space below. She also noticed that at that time, the platform's data showed that long positions accounted for about 65% to 70%, and after a day of price drops, many people were still waiting for a reversal. In this crowded structure, the first price dip may not be the lowest point, and a pullback may just continue to attract bullish positions. So while watching the 2000, she reminded her not to use up all her bullets on the first kill. For her, 1500 and 1450 are split positions, not "buy whatever drops."
She was bullish on SNDK's logic, but the core wasn't a single cable meeting that night$SNDK I'm such an unlucky guy, I sold my long positions too early again, and rushed into short positions, feeling frustrated!!!
Judgment criteria: It only counts as valid if the position holds steady for 2-3 consecutive trading days; momentary intraday spikes don't count
Table
10-year US Treasury yield range and pressure on the storage sector Market performance interpretation
✅＜4.40% Pressure relieved, slightly bullish Liquidity environment is friendly, valuations open up, storage technology is more likely to rally, Treasury buyback target range [(Xueqiu)].
🟡4.40%-4.50% Neutral, critical zone The dividing line between bulls and bears; here it fluctuates, the sector depends on its own earnings cycle, interest rate impact is limited.
🔴4.50%-4.70% Strong suppression range Storage starts to show obvious pressure, fault tolerance decreases; even with good earnings, large swings and increased volatility are common. The recent storage crash occurred just above this range.
⛔＞4.70% High risk zone Valuation compression intensifies, as long as yields are driven by inflation/fiscal factors, the storage sector is prone to sharp corrections; only very strong earnings breakthroughs can offset the negative impact of rates.
🚨＞5.00% Severe risk alert Historical-level pressure, growth stocks generally face valuation cuts, highly elastic sectors like storage will see amplified correction space, best to avoid bullish strategies.
Very important: Distinguish the source of upward yield movement
1. Yield rises due to strong economic data
Even if it hits 4.6-4.7, as long as corporate profits continue to exceed expectations, storage may not crash sharply, just the upward momentum is weakened.
2. Yield rises due to inflation rebound, US debt supply, fiscal concerns (malignant rise)
This was the scenario for the storage crash in August; at the same 4.6%, the damage is much greater, with risks of both stock and bond sell-offs, storage is the first to be hit.
Combined with the Treasury buyback on September 9
- Ideal effect: push the 10-year Treasury yield back below 4.4%, easing pressure on the storage sector.
- Below expectations: insufficient buyback strength, yields remain above 4.5%, storage will continue to be suppressed by rates.
Three practical trading watchwords
1. 4.5% is the first red line: if it holds above 4.5%, reduce position expectations for storage longs, avoid chasing highs.
2. Only intraday spikes don’t count; focus on closing results over 2-3 consecutive days, don’t panic over single-day pulses.
3. Interest rates are just the denominator; the ultimate determinants for storage chips are storage cycles, HBM orders, corporate earnings reports; rates are just an amplifier, not a standalone trading basis.
Supplement: The 30-year Treasury yield can be used as auxiliary reference; the 10-year yield is the core indicator for judging SanDisk and Hynix.【BTC Breaks Through Key Cost Line with Explosive Volume, Bear Market May Have Ended Early】
$BTC surged from around 62,000 to nearly 80,000 in one week, a gain of over 23%, marking one of the strongest weekly performances in recent years.
This cannot be explained by "short squeeze" alone.
Last week, the US spot BTC ETF saw a net inflow of about $1.6 billion, with spot trading volume expanding simultaneously; BTC reserves on exchanges dropped from about 3.4 million during the last bear market to around 2.7 million currently. BlackRock's IBIT now holds over 760,000 BTC.
What’s truly noteworthy is that after the price surge, contract open interest actually decreased, indicating short positions were liquidated, but the market has not seen a large influx of high-leverage long positions. Spot demand and institutional capital are the more important forces behind this breakout.
$BTC has reclaimed the 200-day moving average and the short-term holder cost line. My judgment is that the major bottom of this bear market likely formed between 50,000 and 60,000, and the bear market may have officially ended early.
In the short term, there is still a chance to challenge 83,000, but the early bull market will not just rise without any pullbacks. If a consolidation range forms afterward, or even a pullback near 72,000 and the short-term holder cost line, that could be the next opportunity worth watching for positioning.
The biggest risk now is not being out of the market, but anxiously chasing highs after a big rally. Will you wait for a pullback to buy, or believe $BTC will break directly through 83,000?This Friday evening, Walsh will make his first major policy statement at Jackson Hole, and the market has already entered a state of "waiting for answers." Tonight, focus will be on US durable goods orders, followed by the release of PCE inflation data and GDP revisions, which will serve as the most important data setup before the speech. Earlier, the Fed meeting kept rates unchanged 8-4, with some officials still signaling a more hawkish stance. Although pausing rate hikes remains the main theme, the future policy path is not yet fully determined. What the market really wants to know is not just whether Wash is "hawkish" or "dovish," but whether he can clearly explain inflation, employment, and future interest rate decision conditions. Currently, the market is pricing in expectations: $BTC is around $77,600, $ETH around $2,430, and $XAU is holding around $4,580. But don't simply treat all three as safe-haven assets. BTC and ETH are currently more susceptible to dollar liquidity, real interest rates, and risk appetite; Gold more reflects changes in fiscal credit, monetary policy, and real interest rates. If data remains hot, Walsh signals a tougher policy, and the dollar and Treasury yields keep rising, risk assets may be the first to come under pressure, with BTC and ETH being especially sensitive, and gold also likely to be constrained by rising real interest rates. Conversely, if he clearly sets conditions for pausing rate hikes or even future easing, yields fall, and the dollar weakens, the rebound potential for BTC and ETH could increaseI've observed the storage sector's trend over the past two weeks and the crypto market sentiment recently, and it can be summarized as "short storage, long crypto," which still fits the current situation well.
SanDisk $SNDK looks more like a meme coin, even the leader of meme coins. It's said to be an AI bubble, similar to the internet bubble. Since its historical high around $2400 in June, its market cap has evaporated by nearly half in just over a month. The situation on the Korean side is even more grim. The US stock market is also at a high level now, and there is still a risk of continued volatility and pullback. So the summary is "short storage" #存储股财报后下挫，AI内存牛市还稳吗？
$BTC BTC spot ETF recorded the largest weekly net inflow since last October, which surprised most people as it kept rising. This indicates that "smart money has shifted," seemingly returning to the crypto market that was ignored for months, which can be seen as another way to harvest retail investors. The bullish trend is gradually forming. Be cautious with leverage, prevent flash crashes, and consider going long on pullbacks.
#BTC加速拉升，资金还能继续接力吗？
To summarize, the fundamentals of storage stocks are actually not bad, but the stock prices seem to have risen too much. On the crypto side, the macro environment (weakening dollar, treasury repo) just supports it. So in the short term, the logic of "short storage, long crypto" is consistent.

This is just a share. Of course, if you remember it, you might thank me. $BTC $ETH $OKB SOL｜Market Analysis at 00:30 AM on 8.25
As of the early morning of August 25, the crypto market is in a strong rebound driven jointly by macro policies, short squeeze, and institutional sentiment.
📊 Overall Market Overview
The past week (up to August 23) was the strongest week for Bitcoin since March 2023, with a weekly gain of over 23%, once breaking above $79,000. Market sentiment completely reversed, with the Fear & Greed Index soaring directly from “Fear” (46 points) to the “Greed” zone (80 points).
Performance of Major Assets:
· $BTC Bitcoin: around $79,000, weekly gain about 24.7%. Technically, it has risen above the 50-week EMA, the first time since November 2025, regarded as a reliable signal of a mid-term trend reversal.
· $ETH Ethereum: around $2,508, weekly gain about 32.4%. Outperformed Bitcoin, benefiting from the overall market risk appetite recovery.
· $SOL Solana: around $96, weekly gain about 27.8%. Price rebounded nearly 28% from a low near $74 but faces key resistance in the $100-105 range.
· $OKB: Recently strong performance, once surged over 10% on August 21, reaching the $120 mark.
🔍 Technical Analysis and Key Levels
Bitcoin ($BTC)
Although the overall trend is bullish, multiple short-term indicators show overbought conditions. The 14-day RSI entered an overheated zone at 79.69, and the MACD histogram is near the zero line, indicating weakening short-term upward momentum. The psychological resistance zone is between $78,400-$79,300, with stronger resistance at $83,300-$84,500. Key support levels are at $76,254 and the $75,000-$77,000 range; a pullback to these levels is worth watching.
Solana ($SOL)
$SOL shows a weekly buy signal but must effectively break through the $100-$105 resistance zone to confirm a larger trend reversal. If successful, analysts target a short-term goal of $114-$116, and even a mid-to-long-term target of $160-$180. Key support lies at $75-$80; breaking below this area could invalidate the rebound structure.
⚠️ Trading Reminder
The market is overheated in the short term, and part of this surge is due to a short squeeze in the futures market—about $3-4 billion of short positions were liquidated within a week. After this momentum fades, the market may return to fundamentals for testing. It is recommended to wait for a price pullback near support levels before considering entry, avoiding chasing highs when RSI is overbought and prices approach resistance zones. #BTC冲高后震荡，ETF资金持续流入 #ETH触及2500美元后震荡 $BTC & $ETH : IS HISTORY ECHOING AGAIN?
In 2022, $BTC fell to $17.7K in June, rallied sharply, then retested lows near $15.8K. $ETH followed a similar path.
In 2026, $BTC has again rebounded strongly from below $60K toward $80K, while $ETH recovered above $2.4K. But this cycle has a major difference: institutional demand is returning through spot ETFs, with recent weekly inflows approaching $2B for Bitcoin and nearly $700M for Ethereum.
Is this a real cycle bottom—or another relief rally? BTC surged to 80,000 then pulled back
$BTC surged 22% in a single week, touching $79,400 intraday before quickly retreating to the $77,000–78,000 range. On the surface, it looks like a "failed push to 80,000," but the market hides a contradictory phenomenon: everyone says "institutions are buying," yet the price can't move higher.
Money is coming in, but the price can't rise. Weekly ETF net inflows reached $1.92 billion, with BlackRock's IBIT alone taking $503 million in a single day. But ETFs are passive allocation funds driven by index rebalancing; "must buy" does not equal "buy because of optimism." The money is mechanically injected, not actively bullish.
Shorts are dead, but bulls are also nervous. The short squeeze seems strong, but the upward push is not from new buying but forced short covering. After shorts are fully cleared, the largest marginal buying power disappears—this is the fatal divergence of "new highs with shrinking volume."
Whales are selling, retail is chasing. On-chain data shows some large holders reducing positions at highs, while weekend liquidations totaled $304 million with longs accounting for 62.6%. Smart money quietly retreats, retail frantically buys, and ETFs mechanically buy—the three forces are completely opposed.
Using today's leverage to price tomorrow's liquidity. The U.S. Treasury doubled bond repo operations signaling easing, but macro liquidity transmission takes time, while crypto market leverage reacts instantly. Once expectations fail, premature pricing becomes overpricing.
Essence: BTC's identity crisis. It is transitioning from a "retail speculative asset" to an "institutional allocation asset," but the trading structure remains stuck in the old era. Institutional funds provide bottom support but lack upward elasticity; retail leverage provides upward elasticity but creates downside risk.
Going forward, rather than focusing on the 80,000 level, watch three signals: whether ETFs have three consecutive days of net outflows, whether on-chain active addresses grow simultaneously, and whether funding rates remain positive after falling.
The surge and pullback is not a simple technical correction but a deep game of "who is truly pricing BTC."

$BTC BTC (Bitcoin)
Currently driven by liquidity easing from US Treasury repos and pro-crypto signals from Trump, it has recently staged a short squeeze rebound, quickly surging from around 60,000 to above 75,000 USD. Spot ETF funds are flowing back, and short sellers are concentrated in closing positions, amplifying the rally. As the market leader, its trend is tied to the progress of US regulatory bills and US Treasury yields. The short-term rebound is a resonance of news and short squeeze, with selling pressure from previous trapped positions above; if legislation falls short of expectations or inflation recurs, a rapid pullback will occur. Institutional funds hold a high proportion, liquidity is best, but there is no fundamental support, fully driven by macro factors and sentiment.
$ETH ETH (Ethereum)
This round of rebound shows significantly higher elasticity than BTC, following the broader market surge to surpass 2300 USD, representing a strong catch-up rally. Positive factors include improved regulatory expectations, warming narratives around DeFi and RWA, and PoS staking yields providing cash flow to holders. However, short-term L2 continues to divert mainnet Gas fee income, and US securities classification remains the biggest sword hanging over it. In terms of market behavior, ETH has a higher beta coefficient, rising sharply but often experiencing larger retracements than BTC; with many leveraged derivative positions, liquidation risk rises after rebounds, making it a mainstream coin in the speculative ecosystem narrative.
$TRUMP Trump Coin TRUMP
A pure Meme sentiment coin with no technology or business implementation, its market is entirely tied to Trump's crypto statements and public opinion heat. Recently, the president released crypto-friendly signals, causing a pulse-like surge in this coin, but its sustainability is very poor. The chips are highly concentrated in related entities' hands, posing a high risk of dump by the whales. It has no intrinsic valuation and tends to fall quickly after the hype fades. It is not a mainstream asset, highly speculative, with volatility far exceeding BTC and ETH. Once the news passes, it tends to bleed quickly, suitable only for very short-term sentiment speculation, with the highest risk level.
Overall market: This round of rise is jointly driven by policy expectations, liquidity improvement, and short squeeze, not a complete trend reversal. Going forward, focus will be on US Treasury data and the progress of the CLARITY Act congressional review.Pharaoh directly said that Kashkari and the Treasury Department are performing a counterplay. One says, "The market is fine, no need to intervene," while the other is urgently spending money on buybacks. Their disagreement perfectly reflects the current US debt dilemma. Kashkari, the hawkish guy: The market hasn't collapsed, don't worry unnecessarily. Minneapolis Fed President Kashkari, known as a hawk in the Federal Reserve, said directly on CBS's "Face the Nation" on August 23: The US debt market is fine, it hasn't malfunctioned. The 10-year yield at 4.7% looks scary, but it was much higher in the 1990s; market trading is normal and liquidity is sufficient. His logic is firm: The Fed only manages inflation and employment; the debt market is the Treasury's responsibility. Regardless of the 30-year yield soaring to 5.3% or debt surpassing 40 trillion, as long as the market can still trade and hasn't collapsed, the Fed shouldn't change policy just to suppress yields. The Treasury got anxious: first spend money to put out the fire before talking. When Kashkari spoke, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen had already acted. On August 19, she announced raising the single buyback limit for 10-30 year Treasuries from $2 billion to at least $4 billion, doubling it. The effect? On the day the news came out, the 30-year yield briefly plunged nearly 10 basis points but bounced back the next day. Goldman Sachs bluntly said: This is a temporary fix, the impact is likely "relatively short-lived" because the Treasury's buyback money still needs to be replenished by issuing new debt. So where is the "fundamental" solution? Pharaoh helps you sort it out: First, inflation is the real switch. Goldman Sachs said it best: lowering inflation is the key to reducing bond yields The most dangerous signal for BTC may have already appeared.
Don't be quick to get swept up by voices like "institutions are bullish" or "the bull market is here."
The latest chip data shows a very subtle divergence in the market:
Holders of 100–1,000 BTC and 1,000–10,000 BTC are accumulating again.
But the real whales—addresses holding 10,000–100,000 BTC—have shown a clear decline in holdings after peaking on August 21.
What does this mean?
It likely means mid-sized funds are buying while large funds are selling.
The most worrisome thing is never that a whale sells once, but rather:
While the price rises, the largest holding group continues to distribute.
If enough new capital enters the market later to absorb all this selling pressure, BTC could still continue upward, even achieving a new breakout.
But if the price is only driven by sentiment and whales keep offloading chips to chasing buyers, then the more optimistic it looks now, the more likely a rapid pullback will occur later.
So don’t just look at whether the candlestick is up or not right now.
What you really need to watch are three things:
Are the whales still selling?
Are mid-to-large funds still buying?
Can new buying volume continue to absorb the selling pressure?
The most dangerous thing for BTC now isn’t a drop, but when everyone thinks it can only go up, and the smart money has already quietly started rotating.
Short-term you can be bullish, but never blindly chase the rally.
In a bull market, the easiest way to lose money is often not by picking the wrong direction,Wash's Jackson Hole debut is at 22:00 Beijing time on Friday.
Tonight we first look at durable goods orders, while tomorrow night's PCE and GDP revisions are the real warm-up.
The July FOMC held steady with a 9-3 vote, but three members advocated for a rate hike.
The pause still dominates, but a September rate hike is not truly off the table.
What everyone is waiting for is not just "hawk or dove," but whether Wash can present inflation, employment, and the next steps as a coherent, understandable set of rules.
The market has already taken its seat in the exam room early: $BTC near 79,400, $ETH close to 2,500, $XAU holding at 4,660.
Don't treat them all as safe havens.
BTC and ETH are mainly trading liquidity now, while gold is more about fiscal and monetary credit.
If data is hot and Wash turns hawkish again, with the dollar and US Treasury yields rising, BTC and ETH will likely take the first hit, and gold will also be knocked by real rates;
If he provides clear pause conditions and yields fall back, BTC and ETH will have greater resilience, and gold can continue to benefit from a weaker dollar.
The biggest fear this week is not hawkishness, but that after all his talk,
the market still doesn't know what to watch next.
#杰克逊霍尔临近，沃什能否明确政策路径 When Zcash rose from the ruins of June, it told the market with a 72% single-week increase: privacy coins are still alive.
On August 23, $ZEC once hit $888, marking the highest level in nearly eight years since 2018. The single-week increase exceeded 70%, with a cumulative rise of about 64% year-to-date, and over 1,770% in the past 12 months. As of August 24, ZEC pulled back to around $838-$844, with a market cap rising to about $13.8 billion, ranking 12th among crypto assets.
The direct catalyst was not a "return of the privacy narrative," but Grayscale's fifth amended filing. On August 21, Grayscale submitted the fifth amended registration statement, proposing to convert the existing Zcash Trust into a spot ETF listed on NYSE Arca, renamed "The Zcash ETF," ticker ZCSH, with an annual management fee of 2.5%. The filing also disclosed that a DCG subsidiary is negotiating to inject about 200,000 ZEC, valued at approximately $110 million, into the trust, which if realized could account for about 34% of the expanded fund's shares.
The derivatives market added fuel to the fire. At its peak, $ZEC futures daily trading volume reached $9.54 billion, open interest rose to $1.76 billion, while spot trading volume was only about $1.06 billion. Leveraged funds are rushing ahead of the yet-to-be-launched product.
This surge is a triple resonance of ETF expectations, derivatives leverage, and tightening supply narratives.
If the Grayscale fund is approved, the rally will continue; otherwise, the leverage will retreat depending on the vote. Welcome crypto friends to apply for United Nations positions and participate in related activities
