The macro-crypto narrative remains defined by a stark divergence: while spot gold notches record highs and benchmark equity indices hover near peak levels, digital assets remain locked in tight range-bound consolidation. Crypto continues to exhibit a dual lag failing to fully participate in risk-on equity rallies while offering limited safe-haven bid during geopolitical escalations. Macro & Geopolitical Background Macro Uncertainty: Contradictory U.S. employment prints (unexpected contraction ofIs liquidity still high in the crypto world? Why does it feel like there's a lot of money now, but the market is still hard to get started? 》
Recently, many friends have asked me a question:
Girl's thoughts: Is there still liquidity in the crypto world now?
Why does it feel like there's still money in the market, but not like before, when funds rush in as soon as there's a hot topic?
I'm Shaonian Nian. When it comes to crypto liquidity, I'll be straightforward. I think the biggest misconception many people make is misinterpreting 'the market hasn't exploded' as 'the market has no funds.'
Actually, it's not.
From my own observations, I feel that money in the crypto world hasn't disappeared; it's just become more cautious.
In the past, the market liked to hype up stories.
A new concept emerges, capital pours in quickly, and small coins multiply several times in a day.
But now it's different.
Funds are starting to value certainty more.
For example, stablecoin scale has always been an important indicator for observing crypto liquidity. USDC circulating recently reached about $73.3 billion, a year-on-year increase of 19%, indicating that on-chain funding still exists.
Additionally, after the introduction of Bitcoin ETFs, the capital structure has also changed.
Now, more and more funds are not chasing a single day's rally, but waiting for better positions $BTC From July to early August 2026, the global storage sector experienced a rare divergence of "performance surges and stock price plunges." The core question is: Has this AI-driven storage supercycle already shaken? Is the A-share memory bull market still stable? 1. Why did selling pressure erupt in concentrated wavelengths, and why did it begin to ease? The main reason for the July sell-off was not a sudden deterioration in fundamentals, but rather high expectations meeting marginal changes. Over the past year, demand for AI servers and HBM has repriced storage from traditional cyclical stocks to the "core of AI infrastructure." Stock prices have preemptively drawn up the price increases and profit elasticity expected for the coming quarters, pushing market demand for guidance to the extreme. When the original manufacturer gave guidance that "still good, but the growth rate slope may slow," crowded funds at high levels chose to cash in, with leverage and panic trading compounding to amplify the decline. Some highly elastic module stocks in the A-share market had previously surged significantly, making valuation-versus-expectations gaps more vulnerable to impact. After entering August, there were clear signs of easing selling pressure: some core stocks no longer easily hit new lows under negative pressure, and trading volume tended to shrink during declines. After its listing, Changxin Technology became a new anchor point for sentiment and fundamentals, with its counter-trend performance and high turnover partly diverting panic. On the spot side (such as Huaqiangbei), contract prices remain firm and even temporarily rise, showing a temporary decoupling from the stock price trend. Funds shifted from indiscriminate sell-offs to switching between high and low prices and structural opportunities. Leading stocks and more certain earnings were clearly better than pure thematic small caps. This is more like a drastic adjustment driven by trading (valuation, crowding, leverage clearing) rather than the industry周三空头还在数钱，周五电话就被打爆——SPCX两天干掉3270亿，一场教科书级的逼空
周三，做空SpaceX的人还在开香槟。
财报出来，营收78亿美元，同比增长92%，超预期。但AI资本开支183亿，是收入的2.35倍。
股价暴跌14%，创上市新低。
做空比例冲到36%。空头账面浮盈超90亿美元。
他们觉得自己赢了。
两天后，这些人可能正在接催缴保证金的电话。
周四，9.115亿股限售股解禁。
流通盘从6.39亿暴增到15.5亿股——翻了一倍多。
1000亿美元的潜在抛压。
所有人都觉得要踩踏了。分析师警告，内部人士要跑路，股价要崩。
结果呢？股价涨了6%。
周五，再涨16%。
两天累计涨23%。市值增加3270亿美元。
从108美元干到128美元，距离135美元的IPO发行价只差临门一脚。
Miller Tabak首席策略师直言：“我确信，今天有一些看空押注必须回补。”
这不是基本面驱动的上涨。
这是一场交易结构驱动的逼空。
解禁前，空头仓位占流通盘的36%。解禁后，流通盘翻倍，比例被稀释到16%。
但绝对数量呢？
超过2.5亿股，至今仍被卖空。
Ortex Technologies的联合创始人说了一句话，我看了都觉得扎心：“空头没有任何获利了结的迹象。如果非要说有什么变化，那就是他们押注更大了。”95%的可借股票已经被借出去做空了。
也就是说——
能借的几乎都借光了。
期权市场也在火上浇油。
周五，SpaceX期权成交量达到224万份合约，其中看涨期权130万份——历史新高。
资金在用真金白银押注：逼空还没结束。
Vanda Research的数据显示，即使经历财报后暴跌，SpaceX仍然是美国零售投资者买入最多的个股。
散户在接盘？不，散户在火上浇油。
马斯克呢？
他在X上发了句话：“我试图警告他们，但他们只会加倍下注。”一个月前他还说过更狠的：“长期持有大量SpaceX空头头寸的机构，存活概率极低。”
当时没人信。
现在呢？
但事情没那么简单。
解禁只是第一波。SpaceX采用了九阶段分批解禁机制。8月只是开始，后续还有多批股份陆续解禁。
而且，按周五128美元的收盘价计算，距离135美元的IPO发行价还有一步之遥。
一旦站上135，又是一个心理关口。
空头现在面临一个经典困境——
平仓吧，亏90亿浮盈不说，还可能把股价越推越高。
不平仓吧，万一股价继续涨，亏损没有上限。
这就是做空的残酷之处：潜在亏损是无限的，因为股价没有天花板。说句扎心的：
周三，空头觉得自己是猎人。周五，他们发现自己才是猎物。
2.5亿股空头仓位，就是悬在空头头上的达摩克利斯之剑。
股价每涨1美元，空头就要多亏超过3亿美元。
这不是一场普通的反弹。
这是一场交易结构主导的逼空——空头越扛，反弹越猛；反弹越猛，空头越扛不住。
正反馈循环，一旦启动，很难停下来。
接下来怎么看？
两个观察点：
第一，周一开盘能不能站上135美元。 站上去，IPO发行价收复，空头心理防线彻底崩溃。
第二，期权市场会不会继续放量。 130万份看涨期权不是终点，可能是起点。这不是基本面驱动的上涨，这是一场交易结构驱动的逼空。
2.5亿股空头仓位，就是悬在空头头上的达摩克利斯之剑。
你觉得SPCX下周能站上135吗？空头会被彻底打爆吗？The Crypto Security Arms Race: How AI Is Redefining Offense and Defense
A recent high-speed audit revealed the double-edged reality of artificial intelligence in Web3 infrastructure. Over a 24-hour sprint, a group of 16 security researchers utilized advanced LLMs including Moonshot's Kimi K3 to review roughly 390 open-source Bitcoin-related repositories. The scan flagged 4,962 total security concerns, containing 85 critical and 635 high-severity vulnerabilities.
Core Takeaways & Context
* Scope Clarification: The vulnerabilities reside within peripheral ecosystem projects such as wallet software, second-layer protocols, and application-level code rather than the core Bitcoin base layer (Layer 1) consensus code.
* The Catalyst: This audit was prompted by the Coldcard hardware wallet exploit. A five-year-old key generation vulnerability resulted in the drain of over 1,800 BTC across 5,200+ addresses, pushing losses past $100 million.
* Asymmetric Risk: AI scales static code analysis at unprecedented speeds. While defensive "Red Teams" can patch flaws faster, malicious actors gain the exact same automated capability to parse repositories for zero-day exploits.
* The Patch Window Collapse: The window between vulnerability discovery and weaponization has shrank dramatically. Hardware security and offline storage are no longer static guarantees; proactive, continuous automated auditing is now mandatory.
In the AI era, security is no longer a set-and-forget setup it is a continuous race between automated patch management and automated exploitation.
#AIMemorySelloffEases #OKXTraderVoices Honestly, SPCX's stock is really unusual—completely the opposite, really messing with your 😂 mindset
Think about it—if any good news broke, most of the news would leak out in advance. A group of quick-witted veteran players had already secretly bought it, and the price was pushed up by them first.
By the time the news exploded online and good news was spreading everywhere, people had already made enough money and rushed to sell off.
All that's left is we rushing in to buy the stock when we see the news, only to get stuck as soon as we enter. Even if the financial reports look good, everyone is fixated on the annoying problems inside, burning money wildly, and good news is treated like air, with prices dropping rapidly.
And then the negative news is even more funny.
Bad news like lifting restrictions or rocket test failures—when the news broke, the market panicked, stock prices had already plummeted, and those who should have run have mostly left.
When the real bad news finally came out, everyone looked and said, "Is that it?" "It doesn't seem as bad as we expected."
There was also a large number of short sellers, originally expecting a big drop to cash in, but the market refused to move down. These people panicked instantly and had to buy back and close their positions quickly. A bunch of short sellers rushed to buy, forcibly pushing prices up and triggering a rebound, leaving the bears stunned.
To put it bluntly: when rumors are heard, they hype it crazily, but once it lands, they run away. When bad news is everywhere, the market crashes wildly; when it finally comes true, it actually starts to rebound.
Casual chat and opinionsOn August 7, a lower-than-expected U.S. employment data pushed Bitcoin back above $65,000. Market data shows Bitcoin once surged to $65,234, up about 1.3% in 24 hours; Ethereum also rose to $1931, up 1.68%. This rebound occurred against the backdrop of deepening collaboration between traditional finance and the crypto market, with macro data being more sensitive to coin prices than ever before. What drove the rebound was a nonfarm payroll report that surprised the market. U.S. nonfarm payrolls in July fell by 23,000, while the market expected an increase of 80,000 and the previous increase of 57,000. This data, which shows a reduction rather than an increase, means the labor market is colder than expected and strengthens market bets on the Fed's subsequent easing. For risk assets, weak employment often means lower interest rate expectations, and high-beta assets like Bitcoin are the first to react. Even more noteworthy is the buying structure: spot Bitcoin ETFs are heading for their best week since April last year, while whale addresses have recently increased their holdings by over $1.2 billion, even though derivatives traders are reluctant to chase highs. In other words, this rebound is not driven by retail investor sentiment, but rather by institutions and large players buying on dips, making the base stronger. Ethereum also strengthened in tandem, indicating that risk appetite is warming up across the broader crypto market, rather than Bitcoin alone making a solo move. Bitcoin has actually been training its 'resilience to declines' during this period. Despite a series of mixed bad news, the price has managed to hold 6.🚨 BTC may be nearing the bottom of the cycle, but I'm not in a hurry to buy the dip yet
The issue that has caught my attention most recently in the market isn't whether BTC can still fall, but rather:
👉 Have we already entered the bottom area of this cycle?
If you look at the chip structure, cycle indicators, valuation models, and liquidity together, my judgment is changing:
🔥 BTC may be getting closer to the cycle bottom, but the bottom has not been fully confirmed.
So my strategy is:
🟢 Long-term: Start considering phased layouts
🟡 Medium- and short-term markets: waiting for structural confirmation
🔴 Leverage: Stay cautious
⸻
📊 01|61K—65K, forming a chip base
Recently, BTC's URPD data has shown a noteworthy change.
Around 61K–65K, about 2.365 million BTC have accumulated, with a single chip bar near 63K close to 970,000.
This means a large amount of BTC is undergoing turnover within this range.
Historically, cycle bottoms are often accompanied by a large number of chips reexchanging, forming new cost consensus.
So I prefer to understand 61K–65K as:
🧱 A new chip base is being formed.
But the concentration of chips does not mean BTC will not continue to fall.
Conversely, the longer the market consolidates, the higher the likelihood of sharp future volatility, because there are trapped positions above and liquidity below.
⸻
🔥 02 | Cycle bottom signals begin to appear
Several cyclical indicators have also shown clear bottoming characteristics.
The proportion of PSIP profitable chips previously fell below 50%, hitting a low of about 47.8%; AVIV Heatmap also entered a slightly blue zone.
Meanwhile, STH-RP continues to decline, while LTH-RP begins to stabilize.
Simply put: the market has fewer and fewer profit chips, and the motivation to continue selling is declining.
This means BTC's market condition is gradually shifting from:
High valuation, high profit chips → Low valuation, low selling pressure
Transition.
So my judgment is:
🔥 BTC is increasingly resembling the end of a bear market rather than the early stage.
But it must be emphasized:
⚠️ Near the bottom ≠ confirm the bottom.
⸻
🎯 03 | Bottom area indicated by valuation models
Currently, several valuation models show relatively concentrated regions:
🟢 STH-RP green area: approximately 57K
🔵 STH-RP blue area: approximately 50–51K
🟣 CVDD: approximately 46.8K
Other deep bear valuation models have resonance zones around 50–53K.
Therefore, I will simply divide BTC's potential bottom zone as follows:
🟡 65K: Current chip game zone
🟢 57–61K: Important pullback/confirmation zones
🔵 50–53K: Deep bear valuation zone
🟣 46–47K: Extreme valuation reference zone
But this does not mean BTC will definitely fall to 50K.
The purpose of valuation models is not to predict the lowest point, but to tell us:
Which price starts to offer better long-term odds?
⸻
🌊 04 | What really needs attention is Liquidity
The biggest feature of BTC right now is:
It has been sideways for too long.
Since July, prices have remained within a relatively narrow range for a long time, with both bulls and bears waiting.
Once this fragile balance is broken, the subsequent trends tend to be very dramatic.
Currently, the following are the ones worth noting:
🔴 Above 67K: Equal Highs liquidity
🟢 Below 61K: Trendline Liquidity
So I actually don't think the most comfortable move would be for BTC to directly break through 67K.
For me, the more attractive structure is:
👇 First, pull back to 59–61K
🧹 Complete a mobile cleaning
🚀 Then he stood back up
If this structure appears, chips, liquidity, and technical structure will resonate well.
⸻
🧩 05|I have prepared three scripts for BTC
🟢 Scenario 1: 59–61K pullback, then rise
This is the situation I most hope to see.
BTC pushed back to support, cleared liquidity, and then stabilized again; the decline since July may just be a Stop Hunt.
This is my favorite script at the moment.
🟡 Scenario Two: Continued oscillating decline
BTC continues to create small new lows, gradually clearing liquidity below and eventually resonating with the 57K area.
This kind of movement is quite painful, but it may also be a relatively thorough bottoming process.
🔴 Scenario 3: Reach 50–53K
If BTC really falls to this range, I wouldn't panic too much.
From a historical valuation perspective, this is already a very noteworthy long-term allocation area.
Of course, the premise is that the macro environment and cyclical logic have not fundamentally changed.
⸻
💰 06|My strategy: Don't guess the lowest point, take your chips in batches
If you ask me whether I would buy BTC now?
Yes, but not all at once.
My approach is:
🟢 Current Zone: Establish a small base position
🟢 59—61K: Continues to increase
🟢 Near 57K: further increase
🔥 50—53K: Focus on extreme market conditions
The benefits of this approach are simple:
📈 Rising, I have chips in hand.
📉 Falling, I still have bullets in my hand.
As for leverage, I will be more cautious.
Because the most common situation now is:
⚠️ If you judge the direction correctly, you end up using high leverage early and die before the real price rises.
⸻
🧠 One last thing
I increasingly feel that the hardest part of cyclical trading isn't judging price fluctuations, but controlling your own pace.
You know the market might already be cheap, but you can't be completely out of fear; You know there might be one last drop, but you can't go all in just because you're afraid of missing out.
So my core judgment on BTC now is just one sentence:
🔥 The bottom may not be far off, but the market hasn't told us "this is the bottom."
Don't guess the lowest point, take your chips in batches.
Don't pursue perfection, wait for structure to be confirmed.
If BTC really enters the bottom of the cycle, then what really matters isn't whether you bought precisely at the lowest point, but rather:
🎯 Before the next trend starts, do you have enough chips in hand?
⚠️ The above is for personal market observation only and does not constitute investment advice $BTC $ETH TUT suddenly bounced back +9% in one hour, but $BTC was still stuck at 64,800 and playing dead—this market is perfect for my mouth.
In my last round, I just predicted "exhaustion at the end of rotation and the leader fading," but then my face was swollen: $BICO 24h, it surged back to +20.4%, firmly holding the OKX throne. My long position jumped from -2.25% to +7.96%, finally getting a bite of the meat.
Breadth healing 9:6→10:5 — money hasn't been withdrawn, quickly maneuvering in the alt.
The real bottom is not so easy to get. Volume shrinking -78.8% but not falling, leading stocks rising in turn, broad recovery — this set is more like consolidation than distribution.
But old chives have PTSD: Smooth meat is the easiest to throw back. Last time I chased MMT and cut from the sharp bottom.
On-chain US stocks slipped away, $XSPCX +3.59% (largest volume $5.3M), $XSOXL +2.34%, smart money buying cash flow stocks.
Joke: My short position on XSNDK turned 0.8% green, a contrarian indicator is confirmed, using me as a bottom-fishing signal.
This TUT recovery +9%. Do you dare to chase or wait for it to crash? If you dare to chase, make a bid in the comments. Let's see how many people are more stubborn than me.

$BTC $TUT #OKX星球 #龙头轮动 #链上美股When political leaders claim Bitcoin "relieves pressure on the U.S. dollar," retail traders are right to look past the headlines and analyze the mechanics.
Behind the pro-crypto rhetoric lies a simple macroeconomic reality: digital assets and fiat-pegged stablecoins act as global liquidity sponges.
The Liquidity Dynamic: How Crypto Absorbs Capital
* Fiat Rebranding: Major fiat-backed assets whether $USDT , USDC, or venture tokens likeUSD1 are tied directly to U.S. Dollars and short-term U.S. Treasury bills. Increasing global adoption of these digital assets reinforces international demand for underlying U.S. debt and keeps capital anchored to the dollar framework.
* Capital Siphoning: When central banks expand money supplies, non-sovereign stores of value like $BTC absorb surplus global liquidity. This absorbs excess inflationary pressure without disrupting core debt markets.
Retail Strategy: Narrative vs. Market Reality
* Candlesticks Over Statements: Political endorsements create short-term hype, but long-term price action requires spot volume, capital inflows, and macro liquidity alignment.
* Patient Accumulation: In prolonged consolidation or bottoming phases, chasing green candles based on political headlines often leads to poor entries. Wait for defined demand zones and confirmed market structures before committing fresh capital.
The macro narrative for digital assets remains closely intertwined with global financial plumbing. While political backing provides long-term legitimacy, disciplined risk management remains essential for retail market participants.
#AIMemorySelloffEases #OKXTraderVoices ⚠️ أهم نصيحة:
هاد البوت أفضل شي بالأسواق الهابطة أو العرضية بالتحديد - لأن الطلب على اقتراض الدولار (للمضاربة على الصعود بالفيوتشرز) بيقل بهالفترات، فمعدلات التمويل بتتصرف بشكل أفضل لصالح أصحاب مراكز الـShort. بالأسواق الصاعدة بقوة، فيه أحياناً فرص أقل جاذبية.
كمان مهم تعرف: العزل بين مركزي السبوت والفيوتشرز مو مية بالمية مثالي - فيه فرق بسيط بالرسوم والسبريد وقت الفتح والإغلاق، فما تتوقع ربح "صفر مخاطرة" تماماً، بس المخاطرة أقل بكثير من أي بوت تاني بالقائمة لأنك مش رهين اتجاه السعر.
#AIMemorySelloffEases #BTCETHETFInflowsReturn #SP500Eyes8000 "Is liquidity still high in the crypto world?" Has the capital really left the market? 》
Recently, many people have been asking a question:
Is there no liquidity left in the crypto world now?
Why is it that when a hot topic emerged before, the market would explode immediately, but now there are often good news but muted price responses?
I'm Shou Shaonian. When it comes to crypto liquidity, I'll be straightforward. Many people confuse 'no surge' with 'no capital.'
Looking at the current market, liquidity is not disappearing, but being redistributed.
In the past, crypto markets were mostly driven by retail investor sentiment.
A new concept emerged, capital poured in rapidly, and small-cap coins fluctuated sharply.
But now, the market structure has changed.
After the emergence of Bitcoin ETFs, institutional funds began to flow in, and the pace of funding noticeably slowed.
Big funds won't go all out on a rally just because of a single day of news; they focus more on:
Macro environment.
Capital costs.
Long-term allocation value.
Currently, Bitcoin's price is still holding in a high-level oscillating range, indicating that the market is not without buying but is waiting for new catalysts.
Additionally, stablecoin scale remains an important indicator for observing crypto liquidity.
Pools like USDT and USDC represent how much potential buying power there is in the market.
Compared to US stocks, the trading logic of the two markets is now different.
In the US AI sector, performance is validated by Nvidia's $68.1 billion quarterly revenue and $62.3 billion data center revenue.

The catch? It needs 55% to lock in early. 👀
So the headline sounds dramatic, but the numbers tell a different story.
BIP-110 wants to restrict certain types of non-financial data on Bitcoin, including Ordinals, inscriptions and other large data uses. Supporters call it a way to protect block space. Critics see it as an aggressive attempt to change Bitcoin without broad consensus.
📊 The numbers:
- Miner support: ~2.6%
- Lock-in threshold: 55%
- Activation target: 965,664
- New data limits: 34B / 83B / 256B
But here's the plot twist:
And that's the bigger story.
👉 There's an even bigger threat quietly sitting behind this one. Developer Luke Dashjr has warned that if BIP-110 fails, his fallback isn't to walk away — it's a hard fork that changes Bitcoin's Proof-of-Work algorithm entirely. That's a different category of risk than a soft fork most people are focused on.
🧠 Square Insight: BIP-110 may fail as a soft fork — but succeed as a stress test for Bitcoin governance.
The real question isn't just "Will BIP-110 activate?"
It's: Who ultimately gets to decide what Bitcoin is allowed to become? 👀

BTC｜Macro + Core ETF Assets
From August 3 to 7, the US spot BTC ETF saw net inflows for five consecutive days, totaling about $865 million. After the weakening employment data, BTC remains the most direct crypto expression of interest rate expectations.
ETH｜Institutional On-Chain Capital Heating Up
Galaxy and Sharplink just launched a $125 million on-chain yield fund, with $100 million coming from staked ETH; meanwhile, ETH ETFs recorded net inflows of about $256 million from August 4 to 7.
XRP / COIN / RWA｜Regulatory Catalysts Reigniting Interest
CLARITY is not dead. The US Senate has initiated procedures and plans to advance voting after reconvening in September. Improved regulatory expectations are potential catalysts for trading platforms, payments, and the RWA sector.
SOL｜Localized Ecosystem Pressure Does Not Equal Public Chain Collapse
Exchange Art ceased operations on August 1, reflecting the continued sluggishness of the NFT art market, but this does not indicate a capital exodus from the entire Solana ecosystem.
In short: going forward, chase fewer pure sentiment coins and focus more on assets validated jointly by "ETF capital + regulation + genuine institutional investment." $BTC #PayrollsDropCPIFocus #AIMemorySelloffEases #BTCETHETFInflowsReturn #SP500Eyes8000 $LDO 不如ETHFi，项目方格局还是太差了，他那个回购，其实稍微自己了解一下Ldo的财政就知道有问题，他们牛市的巅峰时候收入才4000万，他说4000万以上才进行百分之50的回购，还每天有上限。也就是说这完全是个饼，哪怕在牛市他根本都不可能有多余的钱回购，怪不得市场不买单In the coming decades, the global monetary system may undergo a major transformation.
Many small countries' currencies are being eroded by gold and the US dollar, fundamentally because:
Fiscal deficits → overissued currency→ declining purchasing power of local currencies→ residents seeking more reliable assets.
In the future, there may be more and more 'de facto dollarization.'
But the dollar is not eternal.
With the growing scale of U.S. debt and rising interest payments, the dollar's credit will face challenges in the long run.
However, this does not mean the dollar will suddenly collapse.
The more likely scenario is:
The US dollar remains the global trading currency, but it is no longer the only reserve option.
Gold will once again become an important allocation for central banks around the world.
Bitcoin may become a "non-sovereign reserve asset" in the digital age.
In the future world, perhaps one currency will not replace another, but rather:
The US dollar is responsible for global liquidity;
Gold is the traditional hedging method;
Bitcoin is responsible for storing value in the digital age.
Many people pay attention to Bitcoin because of its price fluctuations.
But what truly deserves attention is:
If the world begins searching for assets that "don't belong to any country" in the future, then digital gold in the 21st century may only just begin to be repriced.
Historically, every change in the monetary system has created new opportunities for wealth.
The question is:
Do you follow after changes occur, or do you plan before they happen?Multiple negative factors have accumulated, putting Bitcoin under pressure on August 9
On August 9, 2026, Bitcoin was blocked and pulled back at the key resistance level of $65,000, with the price fluctuating narrowly around $64,800. This decline was the result of the BIP-110 fork, weak market sentiment, on-chain selling signals, and technical pressure.
Core Negative: The failure of the BIP-110 proposal and security panic. The BIP-110 proposal aimed to restrict on-chain non-financial data storage, but since miner support was only 2.53%, far below the 55% activation threshold, supporter nodes split off from the mainnet into a minority chain, effectively causing the proposal to fail. More seriously, forks lacked replay protection, and users operating forked chain assets could cause mainnet BTC to be accidentally transferred. Wallets like Ledger issued security warnings, triggering a sharp rise in market risk aversion and becoming the most direct downward pressure of the day.
Supporting factors: Sentiment and technical resonance. The Fear and Greed Index is at 39 (fear), indicating fragile market sentiment. Bitcoin has repeatedly broken above 65,000 but failed, with obvious technical resistance, shrinking trading volume, and large-scale long liquidations in the derivatives market.
On-chain selling pressure: Miners have recently deposited large amounts of $BTC to exchanges (about 2,802 tokens in the past two days), accelerating long-term holder outflows and increased net inflows to exchanges, indicating potential selling willingness.
#比特币BIP-110 proposal cools off, forked chains lag behind mainnet 周末保持观察这些币的流通，埋伏。
重点看 叙事持续性、链上活跃度、流动性质量、资金承接和代币供给。
先说$BICO 这个本周涨幅很猛，资金流动量很大，但其实都是散户在交易，主力在等收割，目前不建议做空，现在明显多空双爆。
$SUI：优先级较高。它已经不是单纯的 L1 速度叙事，稳定币、DeFi 和链上交易活跃度才是核心验证项。近期 Sui 的稳定币规模、TVL 和 DEX 活跃仍保持一定韧性，值得继续观察资金是否真正沉淀。
$ONDO ：我更看重它的“资产规模增长”而不是短线K线。Ondo 的代币化股票平台 TVL 已突破10亿美元，并覆盖 260+ 股票和 ETF，RWA 的资金入口正在从概念进入产品阶段。
$ZEC：属于高弹性但有基本面支撑的隐私赛道。近期 shielded pool 占流通 ZEC 比例已达到约30%，同时项目推进抗量子钱包与扩容路线。这里真正要观察的是隐私需求能否转化成持续链上使用。
$NEAR：值得放进中期观察池。它现在真正的差异化已经转向 Chain Abstraction + Intents + AI Agent。NEAR Intents 已覆盖34条链、历史交易量超过240亿美元，这比单纯喊 AI 概念更有研究价值。
$WLD：逻辑不是“AI币”，而是 Proof of Humanity。如果 AI Agent 大规模普及，真实身份验证可能成为基础设施需求；但监管、隐私和代币供给仍然是最大的折价因素。
$GRASS：重点看真实数据需求和节点贡献，而不是单看价格。它属于 DePIN × AI 数据方向，后续如果网络使用量与代币经济形成正反馈，才有机会从叙事走向基本面。
$ICP：属于我会长期跟踪的基础设施资产。判断它不能看一天涨跌，要看开发者、链上计算需求和真实应用是否持续增长。
$PROS：小盘资产里属于高 Beta 观察位。优势是弹性，缺点也是弹性。重点检查成交量是否具有持续性，以及大额地址是否在上涨过程中减仓。
$SENSO：AI/虚拟世界方向的高风险标的，适合观察资金轮动，不适合作为核心仓位逻辑。
$TRUTH：更偏事件驱动和政治叙事，资金情绪强的时候弹性很大，但估值锚相对弱，因此必须把它和真正具有链上现金流/用户增长的项目区分开。

个人研究，不构成投资建议。$SPCX Is this about to take off? Musk has pulled out another big move.
He said that the V3 version of Starship's upcoming satellite will have communication capabilities ten times faster than the V2 launched by Falcon 9, and the future bandwidth target will aim for over a hundred times the current level.
This year, Starlink's revenue is expected to reach $20 billion. According to this new plan, even if the unit price drops to one-tenth of its current level, annual revenue could still reach $200 billion. What does that number mean? It's more than half of the combined total of the three major US telecom giants—Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile—and could go head-to-head with any of them.
The key difference is that traditional communications rely on laying fiber cables and building base stations, and every additional user requires extra investment. Starlink is different; once satellites are hung in the sky, coverage naturally expands. If it really reaches the 200 billion yuan scale, SpaceX will be more than just a rocket company—it will directly transform into a global communications giant. If Starship really succeeds, the future possibilities will be vast. #SPCX因星舰发射与解禁引发多空分歧 What’s truly worth watching next is not the top gainers, but the "event density".
BTC｜Macro + Core ETF Assets
From August 3 to 7, the US spot BTC ETF saw net inflows for five consecutive days, totaling about $865 million. After the weakening employment data, BTC remains the most direct crypto expression of interest rate expectations.
ETH｜Institutional On-Chain Capital Heating Up
Galaxy and Sharplink just launched a $125 million on-chain yield fund, with $100 million coming from staked ETH; meanwhile, ETH ETFs recorded net inflows of about $256 million from August 4 to 7.
XRP / COIN / RWA｜Regulatory Catalysts Reigniting Interest
CLARITY is not dead. The US Senate has initiated procedures and plans to advance voting after reconvening in September. Improved regulatory expectations are potential catalysts for trading platforms, payments, and the RWA sector.
SOL｜Localized Ecosystem Pressure Does Not Equal Public Chain Collapse
Exchange Art ceased operations on August 1, reflecting the continued sluggishness of the NFT art market, but this does not indicate a capital exodus from the entire Solana ecosystem.
In short: going forward, chase fewer pure sentiment coins and focus more on assets validated jointly by "ETF capital + regulation + genuine institutional investment." $BTC #PayrollsDropCPIFocus ETH popularity needs to be split into two halves: one is how many people are talking, and the other is which side the conversation leans to. OKX Onchain OS recorded 16 mentions of ETH in the official snapshot of August 9th at 11:00 in one hour, including 16 x and 0 news articles; A total of 422 times in twenty-four hours. The latest hourly speed is 0.91 times the 24-hour average, meaning it is about 9% lower than the 24-hour average, which is generally "close to the long-window average." This describes attention rhythm but cannot replace price, transaction, or flow data. In terms of tone, 56% are bullish for one hour, 6% bearish, and about 38% neutral, so currently the 'bullish side clearly dominates.' The 24-hour correspondence ratio is 28% slightly bullish, 20% bearish; Whether the short window is deviating from the long window is more meaningful than looking at just one percentage. What I care about most here is actually the denominator: only 16 times. If there are a few more focused discussions, the proportions may be clearly rewritten; Retweets, quotes, and news retellings may all be talking about the same thing. You can write the position as long or bearish as is, but it shouldn't be casually translated as how much capital has established positions in the same direction. Currently, ETH's source structure is "almost entirely driven by X." If X mentions the increase first and the news is still scarce, it feels more like the community spreading first; If news increases simultaneously, it only means more verifiable materials will be available, and we still need to return to the original announcements from foundations, agreements, regulators, or trading platforms📈 The chart is flat. The balance sheets aren't.
Bitcoin's parked around $65K, nothing dramatic on the surface. But look under the hood: U.S. spot BTC ETFs just logged five straight days of net buying — roughly $853.5M added between Aug 3–7, the best stretch since mid-April.
Friday's close alone: $98.85M into Bitcoin funds, $49.60M into Ethereum funds.
BTC — sideways price, steady accumulation
Nothing about the chart screams momentum right now. But five consecutive green sessions for ETF flows tells a different story: allocators are building positions, not heading for the exit. BlackRock's IBIT alone pulled in roughly 80% of the week's total — call it $693M of conviction from one shop.
ETH — smaller checks, same pattern
Ethereum's inflows are a fraction of Bitcoin's, but they've now strung together four straight positive days too. Not headline-grabbing, but consistent.
Meanwhile, Solana's gone quiet. All six US Solana ETFs have sat frozen at zero net flow for an extended stretch, a pause that followed an outflow from Bitwise's BSOL fund in late July. It's a sharp contrast to the size and consistency showing up in the Bitcoin and Ethereum products right now.
A word of caution: steady inflows aren't a breakout signal — they're a foundation. Capital absorbing supply while price idles can set the stage for a bigger move, but it's not a promise of one.
The next layer to watch: if this capital eventually rotates outward, SOL, XRP, and SUI are the names positioned to catch it — though right now, none of them are seeing it.
Boring candles. Active order books. Two different signals — and right now, it's worth watching both.

#AIMemorySelloffEases #BTCETHETFInflowsReturn #SP500Eyes8000 The core divergence is clear: gold hitting all-time highs, US stocks approaching all-time highs, while BTC only recorded a slight increase—crypto assets are trapped in a "dual failure" of risk-on and safe-haven sentiment, and following declines but not gains has become the norm. On the macro side, it is caught in a sustained tug-of-war between weak employment and hard inflation, while on the geopolitical level, it is a two-way noise brought by the Strait of Hormuz. The direction remains unclear; patience is currently the optimal strategy.

[Macro Perspective]
🔴 US July nonfarm payrolls recorded −23,000 (the first negative since February this year), but the unemployment rate instead fell back to 4.1%—clear contradictions within employment data make it difficult for the market to interpret it in a consistent way. Interest rate futures are still pricing in about a 28 basis point hike in December, and the inflation paradigm has not been broken by this weak employment report.
🥇 Spot gold hits another all-time high at **$4,341** (+2.37%, intraday hit $4,371), silver strengthens in sync—risk aversion and inflation demand form a double hit.
🛢️ WTI crude oil closed at $76.35 (−1.32%).
🟢 China's storage chain performed strongly: Jiangbolong completed a 3.7 billion yuan private placement (560 yuan per share); Apple officially announced integration with Alibaba Qianwen AI, which will be implemented in the Mac/iOS ecosystem.
🟢 The U.S. Senate passed a temporary funding bill, which is expected to avoid a government shutdown.

[International Situation]
🔴 Tensions in the Strait of Hormuz have flared up again: an ADNOC vessel was hit by a missile while transiting early Saturday morning, and another ship east of Oman was hit and caught fire. Iran stated it would not charge transit fees and expressed willingness to negotiate, but U.S. Vice President Vance said it is establishing a "safe passage route" and emphasized "no trust in Iran." Geopolitical tug-of-war continues, and the risk premium on oil prices has not been fully released.

[BTC Core Judgment]
The daily chart maintains a short-term bullish structure, but volatility has been severely compressed—this is a typical 'holding back big move' pattern. No direction prediction, just waiting for a breakout on volume before following up. Key resistance above is 66,930 (20-cycle high), and key support below is 62,227. Chasing long and short positions within the range is a wear trade, with very low cost-effectiveness.

[Trading Advice]
🟢 BTC: Volatility is extremely compressed, market change is approaching. Short positions await daily-level volume surge—breaking above 66,930 means buying long, breaking below 62,227 signals bearishness; Within the range (62.2K–66.9K), avoid chasing positions; MaxPain 65K has a significant magnetic attraction effect.
🟢 ETH: Following the BTC rhythm, defending below 1,842 (lower band of BOL), targeting above 1,982.
🟡 SOL: Today's strongest and rising rates—don't chase highs—pullbacks are the best entry point.
📌 Discipline: When there is no trend confirmation, it is better to short positions and wait for a breakout than to expose risks amid magnetic overlap and narrow oscillation.

⚖️ Funding rates are generally moderate positive across the board (BTC +0.007%/8h), no extreme value signal; Spot premium **−0.072%/−$47, US selling pressure has not yet dissipated.
📉 US stocks (closed on Saturday · Reference 24/7 perpetual stock brokers): 🟢 SPCX $136.8 (+5.3%) led the gains, followed by SKHYNIX +0.9%, MU +0.6%; 🔴 SNDK −1.4%。 Storage chain performance is divergent, with SPCX standing out on its own. I believe the current focus is more on "sentiment recovery" and "bottoming out," rather than the starting point for a new unilateral bull market.
Although spot ETFs have seen long-awaited net inflows (Bitcoin ETFs hit a nearly 15-week high, Ethereum ETFs have seen five consecutive weeks of inflows), this wave of capital inflows is largely a "bleeding stop" after a large outflow earlier. Currently, the market lacks an independent catalyst that can make a decisive judgment. At the macro level, Fed rate cut expectations and inflation data are still in conflict, and stablecoin supply continues to flow out. Therefore, prices are likely to remain widely fluctuating in the short term, and ETF funds have built solid bottom support for the market. However, to usher in a true "new round of rallying," further coordination between spot market trading volume and macro liquidity is still needed. #现货ETF资金回流, can BTC and ETH take over? #CLARITY表决推迟至9月, the regulatory window has shifted backward
[Fundamentals: Long-term positive, short-term lack of catalyst]
* Capital: ETF funds have started to flow back, but the market is still on the sidelines and has not yet formed an absolute trend.
* Macro: Rising expectations of rate cuts are favorable for risk assets, but BTC is gradually moving away from its sole macro reliance.
* Policy: The regulatory bill has been postponed to September. There is no clear short-term benefit, but the long-term framework implementation is inevitable.
* On-chain: Long-term holders continue to increase holdings, with solid bottom support.
[Technical: Range-bound Fluctuations, Awaiting Market Reversal]
* Trend: Currently repeatedly tugging in the $64,000 - $65,500 range, with the Bollinger Bands closing and a direction selection imminent.
* Resistance levels: $65,200 - $65,500 (short-term divide between bulls and bears); Strong resistance above is near $67,000.
* Support levels: $63,300 - $63,500 (core defense); If it falls below it, target $62,000.
[Trading Advice: Watch more, move less; sell high, buy low]
* Avoid chasing gains and cutting losses: Currently, trading in the middle of the range has a very poor profit-loss ratio, so avoid frequent trades.
* Buy on dips and try going long: If it stabilizes at $63,800–$64,200, consider a light long position, with a stop loss below $63,400.
* Trial and error on high positions: If the rally to $67,000 encounters resistance, short short selling with a stop loss above $68,000.
* Breakout response: Before volume increases and the level holds above $65,500, treat as a volatile market.

$BTC $ETH #现货ETF资金回流，BTC与ETH能否接力？ Today is Sunday, and the traditional markets are closed, so this issue won't chase the rise and fall rankings. Instead, the focus is on new information added over the weekend + a few potential real trading opportunities for next week. Over the past two days, the market has been trading around non-farm payrolls and interest rate expectations. Today, I’m shifting the perspective: crypto regulatory progress, huge funds starting to re-enter the market, sudden disruptions in East Asian supply chains, and the next round of AI earnings verification. 1. The crypto market welcomes a policy line worth watching The U.S. Senate, before entering its August recess, continues to advance legislation on the digital asset market structure, with the next important procedural vote expected in mid-September. The core of this legislation is to further clarify whether different digital assets are regulated as securities or commodities, and how regulatory authority is divided among different agencies. Previously, the Senate committee had already released the market structure bill text and has been pushing bipartisan negotiations. This matter may not directly boost coin prices in the short term, but it will affect the regulatory discount across the entire industry. For traders, a key phenomenon to watch next is: If regulatory benefits continue to increase, BTC remains sideways, while ETH and some high-liquidity assets start to significantly outperform, it indicates that funds may be trading on "risk appetite expansion brought by policy improvements." As of this morning, BTC is still around $64,800, continuing to hover near the previously contested $65,000 area. Here, I’m not in a hurry to guess the breakout direction; first, I want to see if funds will spread from BTC to other mainstream assets. 2. A large sum of money is starting to flow back from cash into stocks #现货ETF资金回流, can BTC and ETH take over? With spot ETF funds flowing back, can BTC and ETH take over?

📊💵📈
No one expected that the spot crypto ETF, which had been suffering a frenzy of "bleeding" for eight consecutive weeks, would finally reach a turning point for institutional capital to flow back. In the previous months, BTC ETFs had seen over $8 billion in capital flight, plunging the market into continuous volatility and causing many investors to be pessimistic about the outlook; Recently, however, the flow of funds has completely reversed, with BTC+ETH spot ETFs attracting nearly $1.1 billion in a single week, marking the strongest capital performance since April.
The underlying logic behind institutional capital inflow is very clear ✨: ETF subscriptions correspond to funds actually buying BTC and ETH in the spot market, with a continuous influx of compliant off-exchange funds, directly strengthening the buying support for these two major currencies. Among them, BlackRock's IBIT and ETHA products accounted for 80% of the new funds, becoming the core driving force behind this round of capital returns.
However, the capital recovery ≠ a unilateral surge in market ⚠️ polarization is evident. BTC capital inflows are stronger, with institutional allocation taking priority; ETH ETF inflows are more volatile, and fundamental narratives still need market confirmation. Compared to previous outflows of tens of billions, the current weekly inflow volume remains small, which can only ease selling pressure in the short term and is unlikely to immediately start a sustained main rally.
Whether the market can smoothly continue to rise depends on two key signals: first, whether net ETF inflows can continue for three consecutive weeks, confirming this is not short-term impulse capital speculation; second, whether BTC can hold the key resistance level within the range and drive ETH's synchronized recovery trend. On the macro level, uncertainties remain in the Federal Reserve's interest rate expectations and the U.S. crypto regulatory bill, which will continue to suppress the height of the rebound.
Overall, ETF capital inflows are an important positive signal for the market bottoming out. Medium- to long-term positive news for BTC and ETH, but short-term rallies are likely to be mostly volatile and recovering, with a one-sided surge lacking multiple positive resonance supports.
Do you think this round of ETF capital inflows can help BTC break through the 70,000 mark?#存储股抛压缓和, is the AI memory bull market still stable?
"Rate Cut Expectations Heat Up, Why Haven't Funds Flowed into the Crypto Sector Immediately?" 》
Recently, the market has refocused on expectations of interest rate cuts.
Interestingly, however, funds did not flow to all risk assets at once.
I'm Shunshu Nian. Regarding the positive news of interest rate cuts, I speak directly: the market doesn't like news, but rather certainty.
Many people believe:
Expectations of rate cuts are rising, and BTC should rise.
But funds first look for proven directions.
Currently, the US AI industry is supported by profits and orders.
Companies like Nvidia and Microsoft are demonstrating AI demand.
Therefore, institutional funds find it easier to allocate technology assets.
And Bitcoin needs to wait:
Capital inflow.
Market sentiment.
A new catalyst.
So the two markets reacted differently, not just one being weaker or stronger.
US stocks are driven by industry realization.
The crypto sector is expected to accumulate.
In the next phase, funds will seek a new balance.(1) SK Hynix (000660.KS) Current Market Trend — Severe Volatility: On August 9, SK Hynix experienced extremely intense intraday volatility. South Korea's KOSPI index rose over 4% in early trading, and SK Hynix rose more than 9%. However, the market then plunged rapidly, with SK Hynix's drop widening to 18%, closing at 1,269,000 KRW. As of press time, SK Hynix's losses narrowed to about 4.6%. SK Hynix ADR (SKHY) also fell 3.92% on Friday, closing at $137.91. Widespread losses among retail investors—70% are in a loss-making state: According to News1, as of August 9, 2026, about 70% of retail investors holding SK Hynix stock are in a loss-making state, with an average purchase price of 1.82 million KRW. The current stock price is far below the average retail investor cost, with a large number of trapped investors creating selling pressure from above. Downward Moment: Pricing rumors about Nvidia. Market rumors suggest that Nvidia may put pressure on memory chip pricing, raising concerns about SK Hynix's profitability. Clearing out leveraged trading in South Korea. Forced liquidations reduced market financing balances, and with the implementation of new leveraged ETF regulatory regulations, both the trading and asset scale of SK Hynix-linked products contracted.

Positive Factors — 50% Free Cash Flow Shareholder Return: SK Hynix announced the implementation of a 50% free cash flow shareholder return policy, but this positive trend has not yet stopped#现货ETF资金回流, can BTC and ETH take over?
$BTC ETFs saw a net inflow of 865 million last week, the highest in nearly 15 weeks, with BlackRock alone buying 694 million. Institutions kept buying near 65,000, and during the continuous outflows in July, BTC fell from 66,000 to 62,000. After the August nonfarm payroll data turned negative, the probability of rate hikes dropped, and funds immediately shifted from outflows to inflows. The main players buying at this level are not playing short-term but allocation.
I used to blindly trust data, chasing ETF inflows as soon as I saw it, but I got caught in fake breakouts several times. Now I've learned my lesson: the data is there, but whether the 65,000 hurdle can really be crossed depends on next week's CPI performance. Once the direction is clear, follow along; slower is better than losing money. What do you think will happen to the CPI data? #现货ETF资金回流, can BTC and ETH take over? $BTC $ETH$SOL In the current visible sample of the market, the mainstream view remains "the daily chart is weak, don't rush to chase rebounds." This caution is well-founded: the MA20 is still about 1.05% below the MA50, and the high-cycle pattern has not turned bullish.
However, in the past 24 hours, a counter-evidence emerged: SOL rose about 1.88%, the spot active buy-sell ratio was 1.20, USD-M open interest increased by 4.60%, and price, actual trade, and leverage all recovered in the same direction. The problem lies in persistence: in the past 8 hours, the spot ratio has fallen back to 0.97, open interest has only increased by 0.21%, and the funding rate is about 0.01%.
97 similar samples across nearly 1,000 daily charts saw a rise of about 52.6% the next day; Currently, the estimate is about 56%, with an advantage of less than 5 percentage points, so just observe and do not label the rebound as a reversal. If the price stays above the MA20, the spot ratio returns above 1, and positions do not expand at higher rates, the bearish narrative will continue to lose its foundation #SOL #SolanaBerkshire ended fourteen consecutive quarters of net selling, with cash reserves down by about $31.9 billion in a single quarter, indicating large funds are re-allocating liquidity at high levels. However, the overall valuation of U.S. stocks at historic highs has intensified the tug-of-war between profit-taking and buying support.
In its Q2 financial report, $BRK net stock purchases were about $19.8 billion, and cash reserves were reduced from about $397.4 billion in Q1 to $365.51 billion. This capital focused on about $10 billion in Alphabet's private placement and about $6.8 billion in Taylor Morrison acquisition, while also completing about $4.5 billion in self-purchases, directly reversing the previous trend of long-term on-stock selling to gather funds in one direction.
The main factors driving capital flow changes are capital expenditure on AI computing infrastructure and the inventory replenishment demand of real estate, followed by marginal liquidity support provided by self-purchases. The $19.8 billion net purchase directly eased the previous heavy cash backlog suppressing marginal market liquidity, reinjecting risk-free funds previously accumulated in short-term debt and cash accounts into risk assets.
Under a bullish scenario, if cash reserves continue to be released into the equity market in subsequent quarters and the technology and real estate sectors can absorb new shares, the market will see a second wave of liquidity expansion with institutional funds taking over. The trigger for this scenario is that leading tech stocks like Alphabet continue to have quarterly free cash flow covering computing capital expenditures. It is important to observe whether institutional funds form follow-up buying at the spot level; the failure signal is the large-volume sell-off triggered by the quarterly guidance for tech stocks.
Under the bearish scenario, tightening macro liquidity in U.S. stocks or delayed policy shifts may squeeze high-level chips. The $19.8 billion in positions is insufficient alone to offset the systemic correction caused by worsening macro data. The trigger condition for this scenario is that high interest rates cause corporate financing costs to soar. It is important to observe whether defensive put options positions in the derivatives market surge. The expiration signal is that spot market trading volume continues to expand and strong buying pressure swallows all profit-taking.
If $BRK resumes net selling in Q3 and pushes cash reserves back above $390 billion, it indicates that this funding injection is merely a phased customized project transaction rather than a strategic liquidity shift, and the prediction will fail.
The most critical variable to watch over the next seven days is the spot turnover rate and changes in derivatives holdings in the U.S. tech and real estate sector after massive private equity purchases.
#比特币BIP-110 proposal cools off, forked chains lag behind mainnet, #CLARITY表决推迟至9月 and regulatory window relocated#波动雷达: Monitor currency fluctuations
Last night's rally in $SPCX was just bears trampling each other.
Here are the data:
On August 8, SPCX short positions were liquidated by 9.87 million to 12.08 million USD, with short positions accounting for 74% to 79%. A large number of short positions were forcibly liquidated, and the closed buying orders directly pushed the price up.
Previously, short sellers bet that SpaceX would crash after the unlock, with short positions once soaring to about 219 million shares, roughly 34% of circulating shares, and short positions holding unrealized gains of about $7 billion. But after the unlock, insiders barely sold, and the stock price not only didn't fall, but actually rose. Bears panicked and started scrambling to buy back shares to close their positions. Short closing is itself a buying move; buying pushes prices up, and when prices rise, more short positions are forced to liquidate. This creates a cycle of "rise→ liquidation→ keep buying→ keep rising."
It has nothing to do with fundamentals; it's simply that short positions are too crowded, and they've crushed themselves. Although the circulating shares doubled after the lock-up, insiders didn't dump the shares, so the bears actually became fuel. This round of short squeezing isn't over yet; currently, over 250 million shares of $SPCX have been shorted, about 16% of the circulating shares. Short positions haven't been cleared yet, and if prices keep rising, short squeezes will continue.#存储股抛压缓和, is the AI memory bull market still stable?

Daily review of losing orders, day eleven

Please call me the Chinese server trader, even though today is also a day of instant noodles
📊 Core market situation
Recently, the storage sector has experienced an extreme divergence: major companies like Micron, SK Hynix, and SanDisk all set new historical records in Q2 performance, with SK Hynix's profit soaring 557% year-on-year and the industry's highest gross margin exceeding 84%.
However, after the financial report was released, stock prices sharply pulled back across the board, with overseas storage leaders dropping over 40% from their peak, and the A-share memory chip sector simultaneously cutting valuations, with many stocks falling more than 25%.
⚠️ The three main underlying reasons for the sharp decline
1. Good news materialized, capital concentrated to take profits 💸
Over the past two years, AI computing power expectations have overdrawn sector gains, with funds from all sides converging in heavy positions. The release of financial reports means that the positive performance news has been fully realized, forming a consensus in the market to "sell as soon as it lands," and the bullish stampede triggers a wave of sell-offs.
2. Price increase momentum marginally slowing, expectations revised 📈 downward
According to TrendForce, DRAM contract prices rose 58%-63% quarter-on-quarter in Q2, but the increase narrowed to 13%-18% in Q3, and the price increase for NAND flash memory shrank accordingly. The market is concerned that prices will peak in Q4, making it difficult to sustain high profits long-term.
3. Emerging long-term supply pressures 🏭
Samsung, Micron, and SK Hynix are simultaneously ramping up capacity expansions, with global storage capital expenditure up 14% year-on-year in 2026. A large amount of new capacity will be released after 2027, and funds are prematurely competing for future supply-demand reversal risks.
🤖The foundation of the AI memory bull market has not collapsed
Short-term pullbacks are merely valuation digestion; the AI-driven structural shortage logic has not disappeared:
Global leading cloud providers will continue to significantly raise their computing capital opening support for 2026-2027, with NVIDIA, Meta, and Samsung successively signing long-term HBM supply agreements worth hundreds of billions.
High-end HBM and enterprise-grade AI storage remain in short supply, with the gap lasting at least until the first half of 2027; This round is an ultra-long supercycle driven by AI, fundamentally different from the short-cycle traditional storage.
✅ Market Outlook Summary
In the short term, the storage sector will continue to experience high volatility and volatility, digesting previously overpriced valuations; However, the medium- to long-term rigid demand for AI computing power construction remains unchanged. The bull market is only entering a stage of differentiation, no longer a broad rally for all memory stocks. Companies controlling core HBM capacity will continue to benefit.
How long do you think the storage sector will take before the upward trend resumes?$BICO BICO short squeeze in progress, rising another 15% in 24 hours
BICO is currently priced at $0.072, up 15% in 24 hours, continuing its strong short squeeze trend.
This surge was driven by Binance perpetual contract squeeze and not a major update in fundamentals. A week ago, BICO was hovering at a historic low of $0.011, but in less than 10 days, it surged above $0.07, with a cumulative increase of over 500%—a classic case of a "short meat grinder."
On the news front, BICO Group recently appointed co-founder Erik Gatenholm as interim chairman of the board and is scheduled to release its Q2 earnings report on August 19. But the market is clearly speculating on momentum rotation among small-cap clones, not trading these news.
The 0.075-0.08 range above is a tightly trapped zone, with significant risks of a pullback after a rally. Chasing rallies at 0.072 requires extreme caution; this rally is leverage-driven, and if volume can't keep up, pullbacks will be equally fierce. #存储股抛压缓和, is the AI memory bull market still stable? #现货ETF资金回流, can BTC and ETH take over? #标普收盘再创新高. Expectations for 8,000 points are heating up $BTC $ETH This chart reflects the extremely amplified volume of S&P 500 call options; if the data is accurate, it is indeed a market sentiment signal worth watching for. However, to look at it separately: it is not a separate crash signal but a "market overconfidence" signal.
Breakdown:
1. What does a call option trading volume of 4 million contracts mean?
A large increase in call options usually means:
Investors are betting that the index will continue to rise
Leverage funds entering the market
Market makers need to hedge large amounts of Gamma
Short-term speculative demand is heating up
Especially after the AI bull market after 2023, the market drove the following moments:
NVDA
AMD
PLTR
SMCI
CRWD and other highly volatile stocks
Retail investors and institutions have largely replaced direct stock purchases with Call Call.
This environment easily forms:
When stock prices rise, → buy Call→ Market makers buy stocks to hedge → push the index higher→ More people buy Call
That is, Gamma squeeze.
2. But note: trading volume ≠ net bullish
4 million contracts in volume include:
Buy Call
Sell Call
Closed the position
Rolling over the position
So what really matters is:
Call open interest (open interest)
Call/Put ratio
Dealer gamma exposure
VIX term structure
Just looking at trading volume can easily lead to misjudgment.
3. The most dangerous locations are usually:
Historically, similar to:
1999 Tech bubble
Retail investors buying large sums of calls:
"Stocks only go up"
Results:
NASDAQ crashed in 2000.
2021 meme stock craze
Large short-term options:
GME, AMC, Tesla Call exploded.
Back:
Liquidity declined→ Gamma reversed → quickly plunged.
4. This actually aligns with the latter half of the AI strategy discussed earlier
As mentioned before:
The second half of the AI bull market
Funds shifted toward healthcare, industry, and energy
This chart supports one viewpoint:
Now the market may enter:
The speculative diffusion phase at the end of a bull market
Features:
✅ The index hit a new high
✅ Call Frenzy
✅ Leveraged ETFs are increasing
✅ Retail investors have a high appetite for risk
✅ Defensive assets are neglected
But that doesn't mean it will collapse tomorrow.
5. How will I see the next 1–3 months?
There are probably three main types:
Scenario A (Healthy Bull Market)
Market volatility 5–10%
→ Wash out Call speculation
→ Large tech continued to rise
Probability: Medium
Scenario B (High Correction)
Trigger:
CPI exceeded expectations
U.S. Treasury yields rose
The Fed delayed rate cuts
AI stock earnings fell short of expectations
Possible:
S&P500：
Pullback 8–12%
NASDAQ：
10–15%
This is something that requires careful precaution.
Situation C (Bubble Burst)
Things to see:
VIX surged
Credit markets deteriorate
Earnings expectations revised downward
Liquidity tightened
Currently, calling alone is not enough.
Your portfolio strategy (MSFT, AMZN, MU, AMGN, LLY, etc.)
On the contrary, I think it's more reasonable now:
✅ Maintaining high quality:
MSFT
AMZN
AMGN
✅ Growth but Control of Positions:
MU
AMD
⚠️ High Beta:
IREN
CRWV
TEM
If the market really starts a gamma unwind, high-beta stocks usually see the biggest declines.
Brief summary:
This chart is not an "immediate crash" signal, but rather a signal that "the market is entering a frenzy zone."
The most important thing now isn't guessing the top, but rather:
"Don't use your leverage to the maximum when the market is at its most excited."
Previously, it was mentioned that BTC might bottom out in September or October, and US stocks might fluctuate first. This frenzy in options actually matches the scenario of "a need for a leveraged cleanup."ETH fell to around 1900, and I started paying attention to an "asymmetric" signal
ETH is currently back around $1913. Looking at the 15-minute structure, after failing to rally around 1925, the price has been pulling back, and the price is now below the MA5, MA10, and MA20, with the short-term bearish structure not truly reversing.
So here, I won't rush to define the area around 1900 as the "bottom."
But interestingly, prices remain weak, but liquidity is starting to improve.
Recently, ETH spot ETFs have seen net capital inflows again, with about $60.86 million in a single day on August 5. This indicates that while prices remain low and market sentiment is not excessive, some funds have already begun reallocating ETH.
This is completely different from chasing the rally.
What I'm more concerned about now is the time lag between price and capital: if ETF inflows continue but ETH never effectively falls below 1900, the market may be going through a "capital first, price confirmation later" phase.
For the short-term market, let's see if the 1911–1913 range can hold. If it returns to 1918–1920, it can only be considered a stabilization; If we truly want to change the current weak structure, I hope to see the price break through the previous high near 1925 again and hold firm.
Conversely, if 1900 ultimately falls below and ETF funds turn into continuous outflows, then the so-called institutional bottom-fishing logic needs to be reassessed.
My current judgment on ETH is not immediate bullish but shifting from "looking for the bottom" to "waiting for the market to prove the bottom."
The real value in trading is never guessing the low, but knowing what to watch when the odds start to tilt against you.
Around 1900, do you think this is accumulation, or a brief pause before the next round of decline? $ETH #俄罗斯加密监管法9月生效, the boundaries between transactions and payments are clear
"Bitcoin Faces Regulatory Positive Factors Without Rising; I Believe What the Market Is Really Waiting for Is Funding Confirmation"
Recently, the BTC market has caught my attention.
There have been changes in Russia's crypto regulatory policies, but prices have not seen the significant surge many expected.
Many people ask:
Why did the market not react despite such good news?
From my perspective, this is a typical expectation gap.
The market won't rise just because of one piece of news.
Funds pay more attention:
No new buying is coming in.
Is there an increase in institutional funding?
Is there stronger liquidity support?
Russia's regulatory adjustment essentially aims to promote the regulation of the crypto market.
In the long run, this is an important step in increasing market participation.
But in the short term, more capital signals are needed to confirm the price.
This is very different from the AI market in the US market.
Behind the rise in US stocks is corporate earnings as support.
For example, Nvidia's quarterly revenue was $68.1 billion, and its data center revenue was $62.3 billion.
Institutions can judge growth through financial reports.
BTC has no income statement.
It trades the future.
So I believe the current market is not simply a simple comparison of strengths and weaknesses.
It's that the cycles are different.
The US stock market is following an industry realization cycle.
The crypto world is following a cycle of expectation accumulation.
When more capital begins to recognize the new phase of digital assets, prices will once again reflect their value.
The current volatility is more about waiting for the next consensus to be formed.俄罗斯加密监管落地，我为什么认为这不是短线暴涨信号，而是长期变化？》
最近俄罗斯加密监管消息出来后，我看到很多人第一反应是：
监管开放，比特币是不是马上要涨？
但从我的交易经验来看，市场真正关注的，往往不是消息本身，而是消息能不能改变资金行为。
俄罗斯新规预计9月1日起实施，重点是明确加密交易、支付边界以及参与规则。
这个变化最大的意义，不是推动BTC一天上涨，而是降低未来市场的不确定性。
很多投资者容易忽略一点。
真正的大资金进入一个市场，不只是看价格。
更看规则是否清晰，资金通道是否完善。
这也是为什么我认为，监管变化更像长期催化，而不是短线刺激。
现在美股和币圈正在走不同周期。
美股AI方向，我看到的是产业兑现。
英伟达最新季度营收681亿美元，其中数据中心收入623亿美元，市场已经看到AI需求正在转化为真实收入。
而比特币交易的是未来预期。
它关注ETF资金、流动性和市场共识。
所以现在BTC没有因为监管消息马上上涨，并不代表逻辑失效。
我的理解是：
美股正在兑现增长。
币圈正在等待预期重新定价。
真正的大行情，往往不是消息出现的时候，而是资金开始相信未来的时候。#比特币BIP-110 proposal cools off, forked chains lag behind mainnet. This fork actually proves BTC's true moat
BIP-110 has recently entered a critical phase, but the results are already very clear: miner support is only about 2.5%, and after nodes supporting the rule begin rejecting blocks that have not sent support signals, the resulting minority chains quickly lag behind the Bitcoin mainnet.
On the surface, this is a failed BIP proposal.
But I think what's even more noteworthy is that it once again highlights one of Bitcoin's most unique qualities:
No developer, miner, or capital group can easily decide "what Bitcoin should become."
BIP-110 essentially aims to temporarily restrict non-financial data on-chain, including large amounts of data written to Ordinals and inscriptions, aiming to reinforce BTC's positioning as a currency and payment network. The proposal even plans to limit arbitrary data exceeding 256 bytes and restore OP_RETURN related restrictions.
Ideas can be debated, but ultimately, the market chooses consensus.
When the vast majority of hash power remains on the original mainnet and a few chains keep falling behind, this controversy has actually provided a very realistic answer:
Bitcoin's true value has never been just in its code, but in the global consensus formed around it.
Code can be copied, chains can be forked, and rules can be redesigned.
But hash rate, liquidity, exchange infrastructure, holder trust, and the social consensus formed over more than a decade are all difficult to replicate together.
This is also why I believe this event may not be a long-term negative for BTC.
A trillion-dollar decentralized network, facing internal rule conflicts and relying on market and consensus to make choices, is itself a stress test.
What we really need to worry about is not Bitcoin controversy, but that one day Bitcoin can be directly modified by a few people without even needing debate.
From this perspective, BIP-110 lost a rule dispute, while the Bitcoin mainnet won a proof of decentralized consensus.
Do you think Bitcoin should stick to the "pure money" approach, or should applications like Ordinals and inscriptions continue to freely compete for block space? $BTC A heartbreaking truth: the essence of the crypto market's sideways movement is that there are no new stories to tell.
US stocks have AI, optical communications, and commercial aerospace; Gold is de-dollarized. Meanwhile, on our side, ETFs and halving benefits have long been digested, and market funds are thinning. Without new narratives, there is no incremental growth—this is the root cause.
But in the dead silence, I saw three signals that were even more interesting than candlesticks:
🐋 Signal One: Whales Are 'Stocking Up'
That whale with a 100% win rate added another 114.91 BTC today, with an astonishingly low average price. He still had 251 limit orders in the 114,000–114,600 price range—in his eyes, BTC was all at a bargain price.
🏦 Signal Two: Institutions Are "Buying Up"
Last week, BTC spot ETFs saw a net inflow of $853.5 million, a four-month high! BlackRock took $690 million, followed closely by Fidelity. ETH ETFs have also seen net inflows for five consecutive weeks. Institutions are voting with real money.
😨 Signal 3: Retail investors are "cutting their losses"
Santiment data shows panic selling of small wallets. Even more heartbreaking, an ETH whale who had slept for three years woke up, selling at over $1,900 at a cost of $2,723, losing $6 million.
Summary:
Less than 70 million yuan was liquidated in 24 hours across the entire network, with both bulls and bears holding back. The Fear and Greed Index just climbed from 25 to 30, far from greed.
The current script is very old-fashioned: chips are shifting from panicked retail investors to greedy big players.
Rather than getting slapped back and forth inside the box, it's better to protect your bullets. Following the giant whale is more reliable than following panic.
#现货ETF资金回流, can BTC and ETH take over? #标普收盘再创新高, 8000-point Expectations Heat Up; S&P Closes Hitting New Highs, Is 8000 Points Shifting from an "Aggressive Forecast" to Market Consensus?
The most noteworthy aspect of this round of U.S. stock market rally is not just the indexes continuously hitting new highs, but Wall Street collectively revising its earnings pricing.
The latest change is that Société Générale has raised its year-end target for the S&P 500 to 8,000 points, not simply valuation expansion, but because the profit momentum of this earnings season is spreading from large tech companies to more industries.
This is not an isolated viewpoint.
Goldman Sachs also raised its year-end 2026 target to 8,000 points, and forecasted the S&P 500's EPS to reach $340 this year, a year-on-year increase of 24%, with AI infrastructure-related companies contributing about half of the earnings growth. Morgan Stanley, Deutsche Bank, and other institutions have also set targets around 8,000 points.
So I believe the core logic driving U.S. stocks has shifted a bit:
The first half of the market trades AI narratives and valuation expansion, while the second half must gradually turn into profits.
This is also the key to whether the 8000-point level can truly hold steady.
If corporate earnings continue to be revised upward, AI capital spending can be converted into real cash flow, and U.S. Treasury yields do not rise sharply again, then it would not be surprising if the index continues to hit new highs.
But the closer it gets to 8000 points, the less likely I am to chase the rally simply because it "hits a new high."
Because as more and more institutions start to concentrate their target prices around 8000, the biggest risk may no longer be market pessimism, but rather expectations becoming overly consistent.
The bull market can continue, but what truly determines the height next is no longer how big the story can tell, but whether corporate profits can catch up with stock prices that have already risen in advance.
8000 points is not a final prediction, but more like a profit test for the potential of the AI bull market.
Do you think the US stock market is entering a new wave of profit-driven main gains, or have they already started to draw on the growth expected for 2027? $BTC Bitcoin remains stuck in a range of 62,000 to 69,000, with spot prices near $64,700, dipping slightly over the past 24 hours. Gold hit a record high above $4,300, and US stocks were also at high levels, but the crypto market's old habit of following declines but not rising has resurfaced, with neither risk-on nor safe-haven protection. The macro situation is even more complicated: nonfarm payrolls have turned negative but unemployment has fallen, inflationary pressures have not eased, interest rate futures still have rate hike expectations, and the market direction has truly not been cleared. $BTC Although the daily MACD has turned bullish, the width of the Bollinger Band on the 4-hour and hourly lines is less than two percentage points. This extreme compression has historically corresponded to a volume surge and a market shift. The upper limit is 66,900, the lower is 62,200. Chasing gains and selling down within the range is just a back-and-forth slap in the face. On the derivatives side, rates are moderate and positive, spot premiums are still negative, US selling pressure hasn't dissipated, and option volatility has also dropped to a low level, which corresponds to a tightening Bollinger Band. $ETH Quoted at $1,913, following Bitcoin's oscillation, with the lower level defending at 1,842 and the upper level at 1,982, also without an independent market. $SOL Today was relatively strong, up about 1.5 percentage points near $76, but the rate started to rise. Chasing on the high at this time is the easiest way to buy. Repeated news from Hormuz means oil price risk premiums remain, but they have not provided substantial support for cryptocurrency. Right now, the biggest thing is to repeatedly operate in magnetic positions and narrow fluctuations—wear is worse than missing out. Wait for $BTC to break through the box with increased volume, then follow up; if it breaks above and chases long, if it breaks below and goes short, if there is no signal, go short. Behind it are US inflation data and the United KingdomCrowding and Crowding List
The biggest fear of crowding is continued cost increases and stagnant prices; price misalignment is more important than absolute rates.
$BICO Current rate -0.3594%, closed -0.654% in the past 24 hours, at the 2nd percentile of the most recent sample. The 15-minute increase is accompanied by position exits; whether the reversal can take over after covering ends remains to be seen. OI contraction indicates risk exposure is being withdrawn; the rate only indicates which side has higher costs and cannot replace detailed closing directions.
$SPCX Current fee rate +0.0377%, closed in the past 24 hours +0.000%, at the 94th percentile of the most recent sample. Prices go down, open positions rise, and risk exposure continues to expand during the decline. Long positions continue to pay and increase positions; crowding still provides price feedback; Once increased positions but the price doesn't rise, risk quickly rises.
$SOL Current rate +0.0100%, closed in the past 24 hours +0.030%, at the 100th percentile of the most recent sample. The decline is accompanied by a drop in open interest, mainly characterized by exiting old positions rather than new positions continuing to suppress prices. When positions decline, extreme rates may quickly return, making it better to observe deleveraging rather than chase trends.OKX quietly listed five synthetic stocks: xGOOGL, xAMD, xMETA, xSKHY, and xEWY.
No need to open a stock account, no need for a broker—use USDT, directly do the core bullish Nasdaq targets.
This is the third one. Bybit has TradFi Perpetual, Binance has bStocks, and now OKX has joined. The three major institutions are simultaneously intercepting money that should have entered traditional markets.
The logic is simple: crypto users don't need to go viral. Accounts trading Bitcoin now start trading US stocks part-time.
ETH is the hidden beneficiary of this wave—the issuance and on-chain liquidation of synthetic assets like xGOOGL and xMETA run on EVM smart contracts, directly benefiting on-chain demand.
$ETHUSDC#现货ETF资金回流, can BTC and ETH take over? Over the past week, the most notable thing in the crypto market was not the price rebound, but the beginning of capital returns.
The latest data shows that US spot BTC and ETH ETFs combined for a weekly net inflow of about $1.1 billion, marking the best weekly performance since April; BTC ETFs have seen continuous capital inflows, and sentiment on the ETH side has also significantly improved.
But I believe this cannot yet be simply understood as a "bull market restart."
ETF capital inflows first reveal one thing: after the previous decline, traditional funds have begun to see the current price as valuable for allocation again. This is more like a recovery in risk appetite, rather than a full return of rally chasing funds.
Next, it's really important to observe two signals:
First, can BTC convert capital inflows into price breakouts?
If ETFs continue to see net inflows but BTC cannot break out of the current volatility zone, it means there is still strong selling pressure from existing positions above; Conversely, if funds continue to flow in and the price center keeps rising, the nature of this rebound will change.
Second, can ETH absorb the liquidity that comes after BTC?
ETH ETF funds have also improved recently. If ETH/BTC starts to strengthen later, it could mean the market may shift from simple BTC safe-haven allocation to a phase of risk appetite spreading. This signal is even more significant for the entire crypto market than BTC alone.
So now, I won't immediately see a full reversal just because of a few days of net ETF inflows.
Capital returning is the first step; the second step is when prices absorb the funds; Only with BTC leading and ETH taking the lead can the next phase of the market truly open up.
Next, I will focus on: ETF fund continuity + BTC breakout within key ranges + ETH/BTC strength changes.
If all three signals appear simultaneously, I believe this round of rally levels could be greater than the market currently expects.
Do you think this ETF capital inflow is a bottom-fishing, or is it just a temporary recovery in risk appetite? $BTC 🔥 The storage-stock selloff isn’t necessarily a sign that the AI boom is ending. It might just be the market saying: “You ran too far, too fast.”
That’s basically the whole story.
SanDisk $SNDK nearly quadrupled revenue, while Western Digital $WDC delivered 44% growth—both beating expectations. Yet WDC dropped 11% and SNDK fell 7%.
Why?
Because the market doesn’t care only about whether you beat expectations. It cares about whether you can keep beating already sky-high expectations.
SanDisk is up roughly 500% this year, while Western Digital has gained around 200%. At those levels, investors had already priced in a mountain of good news.
So when next-quarter guidance comes in just a little below what the market wanted, people don’t hesitate:
Take profits and run.
But the bulls aren’t wrong either.
SanDisk has signed long-term contracts with major customers, with roughly $93.9B in contracted revenue, and about half of its 2027 capacity is already sold.
Meanwhile, SK Hynix $SKHYNIX is committing 54 trillion KRW to capacity expansion, with the investment cycle extending through 2031.
The bigger picture still looks strong.
The panic around Korean memory stocks has cooled, volatility has come down, and AI demand hasn’t suddenly disappeared.
The problem is that storage stocks are now stuck in an awkward middle ground:
📉 They’ve corrected quite a bit.
💰 But they’re not exactly cheap.
🚀 And after such a huge rally, there isn’t an obvious new catalyst to push them higher.
So from here, it may become a grind.
Every earnings report, memory-price update, and capacity announcement could trigger another sharp move.
And here’s the part I’m watching most closely:
If storage keeps collapsing, the weakness could spread across the broader tech sector—and Bitcoin $BTC probably won’t be completely immune.
But if storage stabilizes, that tells us something important:
AI demand may still be very much alive.
That could be supportive for tech and the broader market.
