BTC is consolidating in a narrow range near 64.7k, with both bulls and bears temporarily balanced. Attention is on resistance at 65.5k above, and 64k below is short-term support. ETH is weakening in tandem, with repeated struggles around the $1914 level. If the 1900 level is breached, it could trigger further pullbacks. Currently, market sentiment is cautious; it is recommended to control positions, focus on range-bound trading in the short term, and add positions once direction is confirmed.美股周线继续上涨，为什么市场真正关注的不是指数，而是资金方向？
最近一周美股最大的变化，不是指数涨了多少。
而是资金正在告诉市场：
它到底相信什么。
这一周标普500和纳斯达克继续保持强势，市场表现受到强劲财报和AI相关增长预期推动。
很多人看指数，只看到结果。
但交易者更关注过程。
上涨过程中，资金有没有持续进入？
哪些板块成为主线？
哪些公司正在获得重新定价？
现在答案比较清楚：
AI仍然是核心方向。
但这里有一个变化。
市场已经不是简单炒AI概念。
而是在寻找真正能产生收入的公司。
这说明市场进入了更成熟阶段。
很多散户喜欢等一个信号：
“什么时候所有股票一起涨？”
但真正的大行情，往往不是全面上涨。
而是资金不断集中到最有确定性的方向。
这也是为什么美股和币圈现在出现差异。
美股资金寻找的是已经验证的产业增长。
币圈寻找的是未来可能出现的新周期。
两者不是竞争。
只是阶段不同。
今年市场最大的机会，可能不是找到一个万能答案。
而是理解：
不同资产，正在走自己的路。纳指本周继续走强，为什么$NVDA 英伟达上涨背后比股价更重要？
这一周看美股，最明显的信号还是科技方向。
纳斯达克保持强势，半导体和AI相关板块成为市场关注焦点。科技板块本周表现突出，信息技术板块录得阶段性强势表现。
很多人盯着英伟达每天涨跌。
但真正交易的人，看的是背后的资金逻辑。
英伟达现在代表的已经不是一家芯片公司。
市场交易的是整个AI基础设施周期。
从算力需求，到数据中心建设，再到企业AI应用，这条产业链正在不断扩大。
所以资金给估值，不只是因为过去利润，而是因为未来增长预期。
这也是为什么美股这一轮上涨和过去很多科技行情不同。
过去可能靠概念推动。
现在开始靠产业验证。
很多散户最大的问题，是喜欢比较：
为什么这个涨，那个没涨？
为什么AI强，其他科技没有同步？
但市场本来就是分层运行。
资金永远优先流向确定性最高的方向。
现在美股最大的确定性，就是AI产业正在兑现。
而币圈目前更多是等待下一阶段催化。
比特币、以太坊的价值逻辑，不是季度利润，而是市场共识和周期变化。
所以两边不同步，其实很正常。
美股交易现在。
币圈交易未来。 $SPCX 核心观点：SpaceX近期上涨的核心驱动力，更像是“空头回补（Short Covering）+ 低流通盘资金推动”，而不是公司价值突然发生重大变化。市场正在演绎一场典型的逼空行情。 (The Economic Times) 很多交易者看到 SpaceX 股价快速反弹，会认为市场重新认可其长期价值，但从资金结构来看，这波上涨更值得关注的是——大量空头集中平仓带来的被动买盘。 此前由于 SpaceX 上市后估值较高、市场预期分歧巨大，不少资金选择做空，押注股价回归合理估值。数据显示，SpaceX 流通盘中的空头比例一度非常高，大量空头仓位成为潜在的“燃料”。当价格反向上涨，空头为了控制亏损必须买入股票回补仓位，进一步推动价格上涨，形成“上涨→爆仓风险增加→继续买入→继续上涨”的循环。(The Economic Times) 一、为什么会出现空头回补？ 1、流通盘较低，容易被资金推动 SpaceX IPO后公开流通股份有限，大量股份仍掌握在内部员工、早期投资者手中。低流通盘意味着： 少量资金买入就可能推动价格快速上涨； 空头平仓需要买入股票； 买盘集中时容易形成剧烈波动。 这"Review of the Top 10 US Stock Stocks Data This Week: Nasdaq Rises Nearly 4%, Why Has AI Funds Yet to Leave?" 》
Looking at US stocks this week, the biggest impression wasn't "how much has risen," but rather that the market is reaffirming one thing:
Can the AI main thread continue?
Looking at the data, U.S. stocks remained strong this week. The Nasdaq rose about 3.9% for the week, the S&P 500 gained about 3.1%, and both major indices remained near their all-time highs.
Many people's first reaction upon seeing this is:
"With such a big increase, is it about time now?"
But looking at the market, what the market is trading now is not the index itself, but the underlying industry realization speed.
Data 1: The Nasdaq rose about 3.9% for the week, with funds continuing to focus on technology
The most obvious feature this week is that funds remain concentrated in technology growth directions.
Previously, the market speculated on technology, relying more on expectations.
But now it's different.
AI has moved from the concept stage to the commercial validation stage.
Enterprises are truly investing in AI infrastructure, with demand expanding for data centers, computing power, and software applications.
That's why capital is willing to give tech stocks higher valuations.
This is also why the Nasdaq has clearly outperformed many traditional sectors.
Data 2: The S&P 500 rose about 3.1% for the week, with the range of gains beginning to expand
Many people wonder: "Is the US stock market just being propped up by a handful of AI giants?" ”
This perspective is actually changing.
During the recent earnings season, more than 440 S&P 500 companies reported earnings, and earnings growth remains strong.
This shows that the market rally is not driven solely by sentiment.The probability of the CLARITY Act being implemented within the year dropped from 82% to around 14%, yet BTC still held at $64,800. Washington delayed the vote until September, so why didn't the coin price plunge?
I re-crossed the Senate's latest procedures with market prices. The August voting window has already passed, but Majority Leader John Thune submitted a motion to end the debate before the recess. After the Senate reconvenes on September 14, it can quickly enter the first round of procedural voting. The bill is still alive, but time is tight.
[What does this bill actually cover?]
(The structural diagram is shown on the cover and in the main text. Please refer to the blue fold line swing and the right Fib dashed line to read.) ）
The CLARITY Act, numbered H.R. 3633, aims to establish a relatively complete regulatory boundary for the U.S. digital asset market. The digital commodity spot market is mainly handed over to the CFTC, while digital asset securities remain under the SEC, and exchanges, brokers, and custodians will enter the corresponding registration frameworks.
This impact on the industry is reflected in daily operations. Which tokens can be listed, what standards platforms use for custody, what project financing must disclose, and who investigates manipulation and fraud will all provide clearer legal channels.
The controversy also hangs down on these details. The latest draft restricts interest solely from holding stablecoins, while retaining rewards related to payments, liquidity, or staking activities. Government officials' crypto interests, DeFi developer protections, and anti-money laundering provisions have also yet to be negotiated.
[Why wait until September]
Senate advancement of bills usually requires 60 votes to conclude debates. The Banking Committee previously passed by a vote of 15 to 9, with only two Democratic members joining the supporting camp. If Republican votes remain intact, about six Democratic members would still need to vote cross-party during the House session.
Not gathered before the August recess. Thune then submitted a motion to end the debate, putting the procedure in the queue. The Senate returned on September 14, and the first round of voting could come as early as the second working day after reconvening.
Trouble is on the calendar. There are only a few weeks of full legislative time available in September, and the November midterm elections will steal attention again. If the Senate amends the text, the bill must be sent back to the House for another vote before being signed by the president.
Polymarket's probability of signing into law in 2026 once dropped to 14% to 16%, but after the motion to end the debate was submitted, the latest page returned to about 22%. This shows the market held some hope for September, still viewing failure as a greater probability.
[Why didn't the coin price drop sharply?]
As of about 03:03 UTC on August 9, BTC was about $64,809, ETH about $1,914.79, XRP about $1.0349, and SOL about $75.84. After the bill was extended, mainstream coins did not see simultaneous sell-offs.
Voting blockages have already led to early trading in the prediction market, and confirming the extension only seals old concerns. BTC still has spot ETFs and institutional demand supporting it, while short-term trading is more concerned about inflation, interest rates, and dollar liquidity.
Different assets have varying sensitivities. BTC already has a clearer commodity attribute and is less affected by this act. ETH, SOL, XRP, and US exchanges are more concerned about regulatory boundaries because token classification, spot market jurisdiction, and compliance with listings all directly affect business.
[How September Will Affect the Market]
The first scenario is a procedural vote that receives 60 votes. The market will first trade regulatory certainty, while more flexible altcoins and US compliance platforms may respond faster.
Passing the final debate only means the bill can continue to be discussed; there are still amendments, votes, and House reviews before it becomes law.
If 60 votes are not collected, short-term sentiment will cool, and altcoins will likely face more pressure than BTC. The market has already priced down the probability of failure high, so the second shock may not be as fierce as the new negative news.
There is also a slow path. Both parties continue to revise the text regarding stablecoin rewards and official interests, pushing the vote further backward. The market may not crash on the same day, but U.S. projects and trading platforms will continue to pay compliance costs for vague rules.
The August extension shaved off a recent catalyst but did not change BTC supply, ETF demand, or on-chain operations. Whether the first round in September can get 60 votes and whether Democratic support continues to increase from the committee stage will determine whether the bill can make it into the year-end window.

Do you think 60 votes will be gathered by September, or has the market already accepted the bill ahead of time and won't pass it within the year? #存储股抛压缓和, is the AI memory bull market stable? #热门榜单对比 | Clearly observe the flow and withdrawal 📊 of funds
Comparing yesterday's spot spot hot list, you can clearly see the complete traces of a short-term rotation:
Some coins continue to strengthen, a large number of previously popular stocks have seen funds cash out and their hype has faded, further intensifying market differentiation. The broad-based rally has completely disappeared, hot spots are rapidly rotating, and the cost of chasing highs is rising.
The core of the overall market is anchored
$BTC| The turnover of both periods of the rankings remained high, with the overall trend consolidating sideways. There was a battle of existing assets on the board, with no major entry of incremental stock. Local market momentum for knockoffs remained, but once the market turned downward, all hot topics would face selling pressure.
$ETH| Continued to be temporarily neglected by capital, shrinking trading volume, RWA and tokenization narratives currently lack strong catalysts, mainly following market fluctuations.
$SOL| Still maintaining high trading volume, with capital flowing in and out repeatedly. As a sentiment indicator for counterfeit trading, the market is trading sideways with intense internal coin rotation, and the market itself has not broken out of an independent trend.
$BNB| Newly featured on this issue's list, with existing funds defending and choosing to link with the exchange ecosystem, but the explosive momentum of the market is limited.
The strong get stronger (heat retained, capital continues to grow)
$BICO | The biggest highlight: it made the list last time and remains firmly in 3rd place this time, with a single-day surge of +17.10%.
Multi-chain infrastructure narratives continue to attract funds, with sustained net capital inflows. In the short term, the market is in an overbought range at high levels, with profit-taking positions piling up. The lifeline remains watched by the 5-day moving average; if it holds, the market will continue; Once it is effectively broken, there will be significant profit-taking, and chasing gains at high levels is strictly prohibited.
$OKB| Stable Popularity, Gradually Strengthening from Defensive to Safe-Haven, Closing Slightly Higher. In a volatile market environment, funds prefer platform coins as safe-haven allocations.
$MMT | Still on the trending list, not being washed out. Capital competition continues, with huge fluctuations, making it a purely short-term betting target with high risk level.
$KAITO|AI Sector Representative, Consistently Online for Two Periods. Prices pulled back slightly, trading volume stayed steady, indicating that funds did not withdraw on a large scale during the pullback, with AI narratives repeatedly rotating.
$HYPE| Consistently on the chart, closing slightly higher, stable trading volume, narrative still brewing, no breakout or capital fleeing, keeping track of the situation.
$ZEC| Privacy narrative, both issues on the charts, event-driven, mainly pulsating market trends.
Wave of capital redemption retreats (last issue hot, this issue clearly weaken)
$SLX| Popular last period, plunged -7.88% this time. A typical short-term speculative wave fades, funds profit-taking and flight; the hype hasn't completely disappeared, but short-term risks have already increased.
$RE | Saw a sharp drawdown of -6.89% from the popularity list. Small-cap coins with quick capital and decisive withdrawals, shallow liquidity, and strong pullback power.
$ALLO| After the new hype, it experienced a -5.10% pullback, with incremental funds cashing out in the short term. Small-cap stocks have high elasticity and strong drawdowns.
$GRVT | New coin heat cools down, -5.05% this period. New coin chips have not fully settled; after a round of speculation, selling pressure is released, increasing volatility risk.
Volatility follows the variant
$DOGE| Meme trendsetters: the heat remains, but funds continue to flow out by -1.56%. The market has not fully recovered, and MEME is unlikely to break out of large-scale rallies, only experiencing pulse opportunities.
$XRP| Maintaining the rankings, with slight pullbacks, news-driven but lacking short-term strong catalysts, passively following the market.
$XAUT| On-chain gold is a safe-haven asset, with stable heat and no major market fluctuations, only coming into play during market panic.
Newly made the list
$AEON| This issue newly entered the rankings, with a single-day +8.21%. Short-term funds are pouring in, just finished generating heat, and belongs to an early-stage game observation pool with limited liquidity.
Summary comparison of the two rankings
1. Significant acceleration of hotspot rotation: After a wave of coin surges, funds are quickly cashed out, and the leaderboard updates are more frequent. Chasing highs is easy to connect with short-term highs.
2. Only stocks with clear track narratives (BICO multi-chain infrastructure, KAITO AI) will not immediately withdraw funds during pullbacks; Pure short-term theme small coins will see sharp drawdowns once the hype fades.
3. Current trading logic: BTC stabilizes the main line of → sector; BTC weakens→ all hot topics are cautious.
4. The popular rankings are about the "results," not opportunities. Many coins only make the list after they have risen; the real positioning often comes before they make it onto the trending list.
#现货ETF资金回流, can BTC and ETH take over?
Review Priority Order:
Look at the overall market environment→ the narrative of the coin track→ whether funds are continuously flowing in or a pulse day trip. Don't make decisions based solely on the popularity of the rankings.
#现货ETF资金回流, can BTC and ETH take over? #存储股抛压缓和, is the AI memory bull market still stable? #交易之声: Your experience deserves to be heard On screens in Seoul, the local semiconductor index showed a cold bearish candlestick, and capital was exiting along the cross-border channel. The speed at which retail investors were withdrawing from the domestic market sharply countered the pace of overseas tech stocks absorbing liquidity.
The KOSPI index fell 33% from its June high, with pullback pressure concentrated on chip giants like $SKHYNIX. Against the backdrop of a persistent decline in the domestic market, capital flows showed a clear cross-market shift.
In July, retail investors bought $4.6 billion in US stocks in a single month, with the amount increasing more than sixfold month-on-month and setting a new high for the year. The lack of profitability in the local market has led retail investors to surpass domestic stocks in US stock purchases again after several months.
The downward trend of domestic semiconductor giants intertwines with the capital-attracting effect of US tech stocks, pushing funds into pools with stronger liquidity. The US market's absorption of retail funds has objectively deepened the differentiation of cross-market liquidity.
If overseas tech assets continue to make money and drive risk appetite expansion, the liquidity environment for US stocks and crypto assets may remain stable. If interest rate expectations or the US dollar trend suddenly shift, causing tech stocks to plunge, the capital premium of chasing overseas assets will quickly lose its effect.
If US stocks experience a sharp correction or overall macro liquidity tightens, cross-border group funds may face dual pressure from both domestic and overseas markets. When traditional safe-haven assets like gold experience abnormal capital inflows, the assumption that overall liquidity pressure on risk assets will be confirmed.
Currently, retail investors' cross-border safe-haven paths heavily rely on overseas US stocks to hedge against the damage caused by domestic bear markets. If South Korean semiconductor leaders stop their decline and rebound, or if volatility in US tech sectors surges, this one-way outflow logic will be disproven.
The most noteworthy variable to watch over the next seven days is the marginal change in retail investors' net cross-border purchases during U.S. market consolidation at high levels.
#霍尔木兹谈判取得进展, has the oil price risk cooled down? #存储股抛压缓和, is the AI memory bull market still stable? #Uniswap进军发射台, can UNI open up a new narrative?This is not a complete exit from crypto, but rather the $CRO treasury plan putting on the brakes first!
Terminate an unfinished $CRO treasury/SPAC plan and cease to advance Crypto.com cooperation to provide services for some proposed Yorkville America's ETFs. On August 7, 2026, the parties agreed to terminate the agreement and take immediate effect, citing changes in market conditions.
The most confusing here are two transactions. The approximately 684.4 million $CRO completed in 2025, approximately $105 million in cash plus stock purchases, and the canceled vault/SPAC are events on different levels. The current public documents do not disclose balances, sales, or continued staking. A more accurate assessment is that the expectation of new financialized buying has been weakened, and historical holdings have not been rewritten by this announcement. The short-term decline of about 5% in CRO is more like an expected correction.
In practice, when you see the "digital asset vault," check five things: whether the coins have already been purchased, where the funds come from, whether there are independent listed entities, how custody and staking are arranged, and what are the lock-up and exit conditions. Then break down coin holdings, product integration, user rewards, and marketing traffic diversion. Truth Social predicts the market will shift from direct integration to marketing traffic generation, indicating that distribution value remains, but technical and execution commitments have contracted. Placed in the broader market, this is more suitable as a sample for risk appetite and new buying, and $BTC's trend remains a more stable market reference. #BTCETHETFInflowsReturn 🐂 Wall Street Is Buying the Dip — But Can $BTC Break Free?
Weekend price action can make crypto look lifeless.
$BTC is still hovering around the $65K area, while $ETH continues struggling to build convincing momentum.
But underneath the quiet charts, something deserves attention: institutional ETF flows are improving.
U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs reportedly attracted roughly $865M in net inflows over the week, their strongest weekly result in around 15 weeks, with BlackRock accounting for a substantial portion of the buying.
Ethereum is showing encouraging signs too, with spot $ETH ETFs recording inflows for five consecutive weeks and approximately $244M entering over that period.
That's important because price isn't the only signal.
If large investors are accumulating while retail sentiment remains cautious, the market may be quietly rebuilding demand beneath the range.
But there's a catch.
ETF inflows alone don't guarantee a rally.
For $BTC to turn this accumulation into a sustained breakout, the market still needs confirmation from spot volume, liquidity and macro conditions.
If inflation continues cooling and expectations for easier monetary policy strengthen, risk appetite could improve.
If yields remain elevated or macro conditions deteriorate, even strong ETF demand may struggle to overpower broader risk-off pressure.
That's why the $65K area matters.
A decisive breakout with genuine spot volume would give the bulls something the market currently lacks: confirmation.
And if $ETH begins outperforming $BTC at the same time, the signal becomes even more interesting for the broader altcoin market.
So what are we looking at?
🐂 Quiet accumulation before another leg higher?
Or
🐻 Institutional buying that eventually becomes a sell-the-news event?
The money may already be moving.
Now we need to see whether price follows.
$BTC $ETH #Bitcoin #Ethereum #ETF #Crypto
#BTCETHETFInflowsReturn #AIMemorySelloffEases Uniswap personally launched Pools.trade as a meme coin launchpad, which should be a business with built-in traffic. Moreover, Pools.trade runs on the recently popular Robinhood Chain, integrating token issuance, coin finding, and trading. The issued tokens can be stored on Uniswap's website, wallet, and multiple aggregators, yet it cannot produce a large-cap meme.
On August 5, the platform's trading volume reached $99.1 million, accounting for about 54.2% of the daily trading volume of similar platforms on Robinhood Chain, which looks quite impressive. In fact, the real controversy comes before the official launch. The community discovered contracts deployed during the testing phase in advance and began trading directly on-chain. By the time the frontend was open, the cumulative contract transactions had exceeded $150 million, forcing the official team to temporarily adjust the website and data index. Those who discover the contract first get a big deal, so the newcomers naturally suspect they are taking over. Currently, only two tokens on the platform, FRONG and POOLS, have a market cap exceeding 1 million USD. FRONG used Uniswap's frog videos to surge, reaching $18 million; POOLS is based on the platform's namesake concept, with a maximum price exceeding $4 million.
Both tokens were minted before the official announcement, but after the time gap was exposed, the "rat trading" controversy quickly overshadowed the meme narrative, causing their market value to fall back. In fact, Pools.trade's product design is not bad.
The total token supply is fixed at 1 billion, the most# S&P closes at a new high, 8,000 points expected to rise
I'm the S&P 500, closing at a new high, with a cumulative increase of 3.57% this week. The market has already started discussing 8000 points. The US stock market is reaching a new high, while BTC is still around 65,000, and the two are once again disconnected.
The reason for the S&P's record high is clear. Overall, corporate financial reports were strong, with Palantir's revenue increasing by 93% and nearly 30% after-hours trading. Microsoft's cloud business exceeded expectations, and Amazon's market value exceeded 3 trillion yuan. The logic of performance realization is continuously being verified. The negative non-farm data has driven the probability of a rate hike in September from over 50% to 44%, and interest rate expectations are moving towards dovishness, providing support for risk assets. The progress of the Hormuz negotiations is also pushing down oil prices, and inflation concerns are marginally easing. The three forces simultaneously drove the S&P to break through at the weekly level.
The reason why BTC did not rise is also clear. The liquidity structure of the cryptocurrency market is different from that of the US stock market. Although ETF funds are flowing in, the volume is not enough to support BTC directly breaking through the pressure zone of 65,000. BTC itself is also waiting for a clearer catalyst. Above 65,000 is a dense area for short liquidation, and it is difficult to break through without enough buying power. The rise in US stocks is due to earnings and interest rate cut expectations, while the rise in BTC requires a weakening US dollar or further warming of interest rate cut expectations. Although the driving factors of the two markets overlap, the transmission time is not synchronized.
How to look next. The non-farm data has already dampened expectations of interest rate hikes, and the geopolitical news is moving in a positive direction. The probability of BTC breaking through around 65,000 is increasing. The S&P's new high means that macro risk appetite is at a high levelOn-chain US stock tokens are sneaking away: XSPCX +3.38%, XSOXL +1.37%, but $BTC are still lying at -0.35% and playing dead.
The crypto world is busy pulling out of their pockets, while smart money buys "things with cash flow" on-chain—US stocks.
Breadth narrowed from 12:3 to 10:5, and the number of drops doubled in one hour; TUT +12.94% made a comeback, MMT +4.8% rebounded, and alt rotation didn't die but became more scattered.
No one touches BTC as an ATM; funds are looking for cash flow alternatives, not betting on size.
My ruler: tokenized stocks can be used as thermometers—XSPCX 24h volume $5.2M, the largest in the field, real money coming in, not just empty talk.
My short position on XSNDK 3x is still stuck at -0.5%, while semiconductor 3x is long, XSOXL is up +1.37%—my shorting direction is exactly what capital is buying, contrarian indicators.
The true bottom isn't made horizontally; it's money that votes with its feet; Now money has chosen US stock tokens, BTC is still waiting for Godot.
Which side are you on? A. US stock tokens are truly safe havens B. After a thorough drop, they finally pick fights. Comment on your choice, brothers.

#BTC #市场广度
#CryptoThe Nasdaq 23-hour trading regime (23/5) has been approved by the SEC and is scheduled to officially launch on December 6, 2026. At that time, the U.S. stock market will be closed for only one hour each day (20:00-21:00 Eastern Time) for system clearing and data processing.
This transformation is widely seen as a direct response to traditional finance's core advantage of cryptocurrencies' "24×7/7 continuous trading."
⚠️ Potential shocks to the crypto market
1. The "overnight solo" advantage of eroding crypto assets
Currently, from after the U.S. stock market closes (after 16:00 ET) until the next day's open, the crypto market is the only active global asset, attracting a large amount of capital seeking "non-mainstream hours" trading opportunities. The 23-hour trading system will directly provide these funds with an alternative to traditional finance.
2. Intensified liquidity competition and amplified volatility
Some viewpoints worry that prolonged trading in U.S. stocks may divert daytime liquidity from the crypto market. A more critical risk lies in overnight liquidity: under the 23/5 model, liquidity in U.S. stocks night sessions (21:00 Eastern Edition - 4:00 next day) may be much lower than during the day. In the event of a major event, weak liquidity may amplify price volatility and even trigger chain liquidation risks similar to those in the crypto market.
3. Market structure "cryptocurrency" converging with regulation
Nasdaq's transformation is part of the "encryption" of traditional financial market structures—NYSE Arca has been approved for 22-hour trading, and CBOE has also submitted an application. The SEC will also hold a roundtable on September 17 to discuss the possibility of 24-hour trading. As traditional market trading hours extend, its volatility patterns may become closer to those of the crypto market, and regulatory frameworks may further converge.
💎 Summary
Nasdaq's 23-hour trading system is the most direct challenge traditional finance has launched against the "24/7" advantage of cryptocurrencies. It is not aimed at eliminating the crypto market, but rather by eliminating its biggest weakness to compete for pricing power and liquidity in the era of "money never sleeps." This marks a new stage in the competition between the crypto market and traditional finance.
$BTC 加密市场有一个被大多数人忽视的隐藏信号：市场宽度💰
BTC独自上涨不等于真正的牛市到来。真正有价值的信号，是资金开始像潮水一样向外扩散蔓延。
这个扩散过程有着清晰的秩序感：
1️⃣ 龙头先行——$BTC 领跑，随后 $ETH 跟进，主力资金先为大方向定调。
2️⃣ 大市值接力——像 $SOL、$BNB、$XRP 这些核心资产开始跑赢BTC/ETH，意味着市场的风险偏好正在实质性地打开。
3️⃣ 叙事轮动——资金随后涌入 DeFi、RWA、AI 等热门赛道，热点开始全面苏醒。
4️⃣ 情绪高潮——当 $DOGE、$PEPE 等高beta Meme币占据舞台中央，市场才真正陷入狂热。
这个传导链条的顺序至关重要：BTC → ETH → 大市值 → 叙事 → Meme币。一旦这个链条开始反向运行，就是需要转为防御的时刻。比起盯着单一币种，现在更值得关注的是BTC统治率与山寨币宽度的动态变化🔍

#Crypto🌍 MORNING MACRO | Jobs Set the Tone, CPI Gets the Final Say
The macro picture heading into the new week is increasingly important for crypto.
The U.S. labor market delivered a major surprise with July payrolls falling by 23K. That has increased attention on whether the Federal Reserve could eventually have more room to ease.
But markets still need the other half of the equation:
Inflation.
That's why #PayrollsDropCPIFocus remains relevant.
🟢 Weak jobs + cooling CPI
→ stronger rate-cut expectations
→ lower yields
→ potentially better liquidity for $BTC and risk assets.
🔴 Weak jobs + sticky CPI
→ limited room for Fed easing
→ inflation uncertainty
→ potential pressure on risk assets.
Then comes Hormuz.
Energy prices remain a key inflation variable. A sustained normalization of shipping could ease oil pressure and improve the macro backdrop. Renewed disruption could quickly reverse that optimism.
For crypto, the morning dashboard is therefore:
💵 Dollar
📉 Treasury yields
📊 CPI expectations
🏦 Fed policy
🛢️ Oil/Hormuz
💰 ETF flows
$BTC remains the first market signal to watch.
If Bitcoin holds strength while $ETH, $SOL and major altcoins broaden the move, liquidity is likely becoming more constructive.
Jobs opened the debate. CPI may decide the direction.

The storage-chip battlefield looks ugly right now.
$SNDK, $MU and $SKHYNIX have all come under pressure despite the broader high-compute storage narrative remaining intact. Strong earnings alone haven't been enough to keep prices rising, because the market is now asking a harder question:
How much growth is already priced in?
That's the distinction traders need to understand.
The AI infrastructure story hasn't suddenly disappeared. Demand for high-bandwidth memory, advanced storage and data-center capacity remains tied to the rapid expansion of AI workloads.
$SKHYNIX's planned investment across its Yongin and Cheongju facilities is a reminder that major semiconductor companies are still preparing for substantial future demand.
But markets don't move on fundamentals alone.
Valuations matter.
Expectations matter.
Guidance matters.
And when expectations become extreme, even strong results can trigger profit-taking.
That's what we're seeing now.
The sell-off across storage and semiconductor names may therefore represent a valuation reset rather than proof that the entire AI infrastructure cycle has peaked.
Crypto traders should pay attention because the connection between technology equities and digital assets is becoming increasingly important.
When high-growth tech gets hit, risk appetite across crypto can weaken quickly. But when capital stabilizes and investors begin looking beyond the immediate earnings reaction, the strongest infrastructure narratives can recover just as quickly.
I'm not rushing to chase either direction.
Let the market finish repricing expectations.
Watch $SNDK, $MU and $SKHYNIX for stabilization. Watch AI-capex expectations. Watch liquidity.
The strongest narratives don't need constant green candles.
They need buyers to return when the noise fades.
The battlefield is loud right now.
Sometimes the smartest position is simply waiting for the smoke to clear before pulling the trigger.
$BTC $ETH $SNDK $MU $SKHYNIX#现货ETF资金回流, can BTC and ETH take over?
This week's data is quite strong. US spot BTC ETFs saw a weekly net inflow of about $865 million, nearly a 15-week high; Blackrock IBIT alone held up more than half. ETH was also impressive, with about $244 million in inflows over the same period, maintaining positive inflows for five consecutive weeks.
Institutions are buying, and that's not out of the question.
But my personal view is: rebound does not mean takeoff. ETFs are more like "official channels" for big funds; if they rebound, it means sentiment is recovering; If BTC and ETH really take turn, it depends on whether macro sentiment doesn't crash and risk appetite can stabilize.
Money is fuel, not engine.
In the coming weeks, I will focus on two things: whether inflows can be sustained, and whether the price can keep up with the capital. If you can keep up, that's called a relay; If not, it's mostly a rebound.
You can enjoy the excitement, but you still have to manage your position yourself.The economic curve that prematurely reduces staking yields to zero essentially serves as a tool 🧐 to drive Ethereum toward centralization
First, clarify the underlying logic: theoretically, reaching 100% ETH staking across the entire network is an almost impossible extreme scenario. Even if it really reaches this point, the rewards generated from staking will lose their incentive value. Therefore, the curve where returns gradually zero only when the staking rate approaches the full limit aligns with the underlying logic of network decentralization.
But if an economic model sets the stake-to-hold ratio far below 100%, and only reaches a certain intermediate threshold N, it will directly reset all ordinary stakers' returns to zero, this mechanism will create an extremely unfair game of competition.
Given the current industry situation, the market generally expects the total network staking scale to approach 50% of total supply. Once this early zero-to-zero rule is implemented, a survival race squeezing small and medium stakers will immediately unfold. After staking returns reach zero, retail investors and independent individual validators lack sufficient funds to withstand the zero-yield gap and are forced to redeem and exit the staking sector; But institutional capital like BitMine, which holds massive amounts of $ETH, has strong cash flow buffers and can endure zero-yield conditions for a long time. Once a large number of small stakers exit and the network staking rate falls, staking rewards return to positive returns, institutions can monopolize all staking dividends.
Over time, the staking sector will gradually be monopolized by leading large institutions, individual independent nodes will continue to disappear, and Ethereum's decentralized foundation will be continuously damaged.
Having been deeply involved in Ethereum's decentralized construction for five years, long-term tracking of network consensus layer and staking economic model iterations, I believe this kind of proposal to lock staking yields early has a very clear underlying direction: it continuously weakens the motivation of ordinary retail investors to participate in node verification, indirectly boosting the concentration of staking resources toward large institutions, completely deviating from Ethereum's long-term goal of full decentralization, and is a design detrimental to the network's long-term healthy development.
The above is only a personal opinion and does not constitute investment advice. Please use it with caution.💧 Post-market liquidity notes: chase capital, not candlesticks
The crypto market is showing signs of healthier liquidity, but capital remains discerning. Recent ETF capital inflows, especially flowing into $BTC, indicate institutional demand is recovering, but the overall market is still waiting—waiting for liquidity to spill over from top assets and nourish the broader ecosystem.
The macro script is becoming clearer: July employment unexpectedly shrank by 23K, and if the upcoming CPI confirms inflation has cooled, the market is likely to accelerate pricing in a shift toward Fed easing, injecting fresh water into risk assets. But the Strait of Hormuz remains a hidden variable. If the risk of energy supply cutouts continues to ease, it can suppress inflationary pressures driven by crude oil; But if the situation escalates, the logic supporting yields will make a comeback.
The liquidity ladder within the crypto world has never changed: 👑 $BTC is the ultimate anchor, 🏛️ $ETH undertakes institutional rotation, ⚡ $SOL acts as the spearhead of high-beta capital. 🟡 $BNB and $XRP hold large market cap pools, 🔗 while $LINK and $AAVE define the value thickness of infrastructure. Going further, 🤖 $TAO and $WLD map AI narratives, 🚀 $SUI carry speculative hot money with $HYPE. The market doesn't need thousands of coins flying at once; it just needs capital to spread orderly into new sectors. Until the divergence signals truly appear, selective rotation remains the dominant theme.
$BTC$SPCX 这波是真的把市场玩明白了。
我现在看着账户里的 +846.51%，人都有点懵了。😂
开仓均价：116.95
最新成交价：136.76
最离谱的是，上周四明明有大量股票解禁，市场一片声音都在喊抛压来了，SPCX这次肯定要跌。
结果呢？不跌反而直接往上干。
这就是资本市场最狠的地方，你以为自己在预判行情，实际上庄家可能早就在预判你的预判了。
所有人都知道解禁是利空，于是提前做空、提前跑路、提前等着砸盘。
可当所有人都站到同一边的时候，反而容易给大资金留下反向操作的空间。
消息本身并不可怕，可怕的是你把消息当成了确定性。
市场真正交易的，从来不只是利好利空，而是预期差。
等消息真正落地的时候，可能早就被市场消化完了。
所以以后再看到重大解禁、利空消息，真得先冷静一下：
散户都在想什么？
空头都站哪边？
大资金为什么偏偏选择这个位置拉？
千万别低估资本的力量，也别太相信自己的“常识”。
市场最狠的玩法就是，觉得它应该跌，它偏偏就给你涨。还涨到你怀疑人生。😂，所以大家别太自信，做好仓位管理和资金隔离。 $CORE Hotly discussed across the internet! CORE missing one validator node—is excessive panic necessary?
Recently, the community has been discussing the reduction of one active validator node in CORE, with many people worried about declining cybersecurity and decentralization, sparking divergent market sentiment. Let's objectively analyze this issue using the Satoshi Plus consensus mechanism.
1. First, clarify the concept: Ordinary Full Node VS Validator
Many people are easily confused:
1. Ordinary RPC/Full Node: Anyone can set up for free, only synchronizes on-chain data, does not participate in block consensus, and has no limit on quantity;
2. Validator nodes: Requires staking margin to participate in the election; those ranked high will enter the active block list, take turns packaging and trading, and form the core of consensus.
CORE adopts a rotating election mechanism, re-selecting validators each cycle based on staking CORE, entrusted BTC hash power, and staked BTC composite scores.
An exit of a single validator node does not mean the network is paralyzed. The remaining listed nodes will continue to handle block production and transaction verification, and on-chain transfer, staking, and contract functions will not be interrupted.
2. Fewer nodes: Two possibilities behind it
✅ A benign situation
Node operators voluntarily withdraw from operations due to cost-benefit considerations. Some validator nodes' earnings cannot cover server and maintenance costs, so they choose to withdraw from the election; In the next cycle, nodes with ranking candidates will be replaced and added to the active list.
⚠️ Risks that require vigilance
1. Continuous withdrawal of multiple validator nodes indicates that institutions/node operators are not optimistic about project revenue expectations for a long time;
2. The long-term shrinkage of validator lists reduces network decentralization and exacerbates the risk of a few nodes monopolizing consensus;
3. It easily amplifies panic in the secondary market, with funds selling off shares on the news.
Key point: Losing one node at a time is normal fluctuation; A concentrated withdrawal of multiple nodes in succession is the real danger signal.
3. The underlying safeguards of CORE network security cannot be ignored
CORE relies on the Satoshi Plus hybrid consensus, with security supported by two layers: BTC delegated hash power + CORE staking.
Even if a small number of validator nodes exit, Bitcoin hashrate delegation remains the network's strongest security foundation.
Unlike pure PoS public chains, it does not rely solely on node token staking to maintain security, and a single node's exit rarely causes systemic risk.
4. Distinguish the impact of news on the market
Short-term perspective:
This news is easily amplified by bears, triggering panic selling among retail investors, and is highly likely to cause short-term price fluctuations.
Medium- to Long-Term Perspective:
The core factors determining $CORE's trend remain the progress of COREATM implementation, anti-quantum technology audits, BTCFi ecosystem TVL growth, and selling pressure on large token unlocks.
A single change in a validator node is not a major catalyst for fundamental changes.
5. Practical observation checklist, with key points to focus on going forward
1. In the next three election cycles, are there any waiting nodes to quickly fill vacancies?
2. Whether a second or third validator node will exit one after another;
3. Whether the official team has proposed optimization proposals for node revenue mechanisms to improve node operational revenue.
Summary
A single validator node exiting does not require excessive panic; this is normal operation of public chains.
What truly needs to be watched out is not "one less node," but mass exit of nodes and long-term lack of replacement. During market volatility phases, news is easily amplified. Don't blindly go long or cut losses based on a single piece of news; continuously track subsequent on-chain changes.
Interactive Q&A:
Do you think that if nodes continue to exit in the future, it will have a significant impact on CORE's long-term narrative?
A: Limited impact; the BTC hash power base ensures security
B: Undermining confidence and continuously suppressing prices
C: Continuously observe the rotation situation at the node before making a judgment
$CORE #CORE公链 #BTCFi #节点动态Leading speculative investors failed: After the first wave broke, the second and third stocks could not quickly fill the gap; High-level stocks showed increased volume and long upper shadows, rising limit-up rates, and no support at the lower opening the next day. Institutional investors failed: trading volume expanded but stock prices stagnated, major players continuously exited, performance or orders falling short of expectations, mismatched product prices and company profit transmission. One-vote veto: company announcements clarified core concepts, were investigated/penalized/placed on risk warnings, core business revenue proportion was extremely low, and the main catalyst only came from unconfirmed rumors. #存储股抛压缓和, is the AI memory bull market stable? 黄金这周是真的猛，现货4342美元，周涨7%+，创了今年最大的单周涨幅。国内金饰克价都回到1300块以上了，周生生卖1315。

The core contradiction is that traditional financial institutions have continued to exceed expectations in CCIP adoption, but macro interest rates and the US dollar environment have yet to signal a comprehensive expansion of risk assets.
Current market facts: The price is repeatedly consolidating around 8.20, with buying support at multiple dips to 8.00. Whale addresses continue to withdraw from exchanges with net outflows, and tokens are being accumulated by medium- to long-term holders. There is a dense resistance zone between 8.50 and 9.50 above, with no signs of volume expanding.
Driver ranking: The first layer is macro interest rate expectations—if the Fed maintains high rates longer, a stronger US dollar will suppress risk asset valuations, and LINK, as a large-cap infrastructure token, is naturally less resilient than high-beta targets; The second layer is the progress of TradFi adoption—institutions like DTCC, JPMorgan, and UBS are deeply using CCIP to promote RWA tokenization liquidation, providing LINK with a fundamental anchor different from most altcoins; The third layer is signals from gold and US stocks—if gold strengthens and US tech sectors pull back, funds tend to be defensive rather than offensive, and LINK's sideways trading period could be extended.
Upside scenario: The US dollar index has fallen below key support, the 10-year US Treasury yield has shown a trending downward turning point, providing risk assets with a liquidity release window. Under these conditions, if LINK breaks above 8.50 with volume and holds steady, the 8.50-9.50 resistance zone is expected to be gradually digested. The RWA narrative combined with ETF-compliant product expectations may attract incremental allocation funds. Variable to watch: Whether the US Nasdaq can simultaneously hit a new stage high, and whether on-chain CCIP fee income will jump month-on-month. Failure signal: After breaking above 8.50, volume shrinks and falls below 8.20, indicating selling pressure remains dominant.
Downside scenario: The Fed sends hawkish signals or stronger-than-expected economic data reignites rate hike hopes, strengthening the dollar and putting pressure on gold and US stocks simultaneously. In this environment, if LINK breaks below the 8.00 support and whale withdrawal trends reverse to net inflows into exchanges, it may seek a new equilibrium in the 7.50 or even lower range. Trigger conditions: The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield rises rapidly to break previous highs, while the overall market capitalization of the crypto market shrinks. Failure signal: After falling below 8.00, it quickly recovers within 24 hours accompanied by large on-chain purchases.
Opportunity cost dimension to consider: LINK's market cap is $6.1–6.2 billion, with high token dispersion. Even if fundamentals continue to improve, its price elasticity during the hot money rotation phase is likely to lag behind small-cap, high-beta sectors. This means that if the macro environment offers a narrow window, LINK's time cost could be significantly higher than expected.
The most important variables to watch in the next 7 days: directional changes in the US dollar index and the 10-year US Treasury yield, whether LINK daily trading volume has abnormally increased, and the battle results at the key 8.00 and 8.50 price levels.
#存储股抛压缓和, is the AI memory bull market still stable? #现货ETF资金回流, can BTC and ETH take over? #Uniswap进军发射台, can UNI open up a new narrative?$AEON It has rebounded from the bottom in the past couple of days. I wanted to go long on this coin before, but later didn't go long. At the time, I thought the market environment was relatively harsh and not suitable to buy these knockoffs at the bottom. I don't know why, but I always feel the market is a bit cold right now. Although the market is rising fairly well now, I always feel this is the afterglow before sunset. —————————————————— Let's look at its contract data. To be honest, its contract data is indeed quite good. If its contract data had been two weeks ago, I would have gone in and long right now. But now, I'm not afraid to chase highs. Back in May or June, I suffered a big loss from chasing highs. Now, whenever I feel the market is a bit cold, I start to play cautiously. Back to the main topic, let's take a look at its data. We can see that its contract open interest has seen two significant increases, with the corresponding long-short ratio both rising. This shows that during today's rally, many people are still willing to go long. However, if we look at the price, we can see that the long positions are driving the price higher. This is not a good thing. Let's take a look at its recent contract data. It can be seen that its contract open interest and long-short ratio over the past two days have also shown a simultaneous upward trend. We can look at the corresponding prices, which are also continuously rising. This indicates that most of the recent rebound has been driven up by long market funds. In this situation, I am not in this situationSolana application layer 8/4 saw single-day revenue of $4.44M, 29% higher than recent peaks and a six-month high.
Q2 dApp total revenue was $257M; Solana has led all public chains in app revenue for nine consecutive quarters.
Driving force: Trading aggregators like Photon and Axiom are still profitable even during market corrections; DEX daily trading volume surged to $6.54B.
This shows that the SOL ecosystem is not just a meme coin casino, but an infrastructure with real users paying.
Compared to ETH: too many L2s, revenue is split between Arbitrum, Base, and OP; Solana monochains actually keep track of the total score.

$BTC $ETH #NFP #Bitcoin #Ethereum #CryptoTrading #MacroTrading #TradingStrategy
$ETH $BTC #AIMemorySelloffEases #BTCETHETFInflowsReturn #SpaceXShortCovering Haha, bored at the hotel, I checked CMC data—BTC is making a comeback 😂
Currently, BTC reserves on exchanges are about $59 billion, accounting for 30.3%, already surpassing USDT, which had dominated the chart for several months.
USDT is currently about 55.3 billion, accounting for 28.4%.
What's even more interesting is that after digging into the reserve structures of different exchanges, the picture really looks quite different.
Let's start with a few representative examples:
The structure of OKX, Binance, and Gate is quite interesting.
Binance is the largest overall, with stablecoin reserves alone totaling about $46 billion, providing ample liquidity and making it a "big warehouse" type.
OKX's asset structure is relatively more balanced, with clear allocations in BTC, ETH, stablecoins, and more, with no particularly extreme tendencies overall.
Gate is quite interesting: BTC reserves account for nearly 64%, USDT only 10.85%, completely different from platforms with a high proportion of stablecoins.
Looking at MEXC and KuCoin, stablecoins account for about 60%-70%, clearly leaning more towards stablecoins and liquidity.
So I think exchange reserve data is sometimes quite worth reading.
Even though they're all exchanges, the huge difference in asset structure actually reflects some users' trading habits and risk preferences.
Some people like to hold onto USDT, waiting for an opportunity;
Some people just hold BTC and ETH spot without moving 😂
Which exchange do you usually use, which has more stablecoins or more BTC?#CLARITY表决推迟至9月, the regulatory window has been moved backward
The CLARITY Act—I bet it won't pass.
Patrick Witt, Executive Director of the White House Crypto Commission, has spoken harshly:
If it can't be advanced before September 15, then it's basically over, and it might even be delayed until 2027.
Now, the key point is precisely the ethical clause related to the Trump family's crypto projects.
$WLFI. $USD 1. $TRUMP are all involved, and neither side is willing to give in first.
So what do I think?
Most likely, the delay will continue.
But don't just call BTC crashing just because you see the "bill is stuck."
This is more like short-term BTC like:
One less positive catalyst is not one more blowout.
BTC should still be worn down, and it should still shake.
The real headache might be the knockoffs.
At least BTC still has institutional funds, ETFs, and reserve demand as its narrative; many knockoffs rely on "regulatory implementation" to tell stories.
If the bill is delayed, how much longer can the story continue?
So now I don't predict the bottom or chase the rise.
Keep playing dead, waiting for the market to give you an opportunity.
Approved before September 15?
I don't believe it.
Delayed until 2027?
This vibe is actually quite right.
Which one are you betting on?
"Passed on September 15" or "See you in 2027"? 23% surge in two days, shorts lose 9 billion: Is SPCX's rebound valuation repair or a short squeeze kill?
Have you ever seen a stock plunge 14% the day before the largest unlock in history, then surge 23% for two consecutive days?
SpaceX did it.
After market close on August 4, SpaceX released its first post-IPO earnings report—revenue of $7.814 billion, up 92% year-over-year, far exceeding the expected $6.9 billion; net loss narrowed from $1.008 billion to $541 million; adjusted EBITDA soared from $1.2 billion to $3.5 billion, up 191% year-over-year.
By all accounts, a strong earnings report.
Then on August 5, the stock plunged 13.6%, closing at $108.27, a new post-IPO closing low.
Market cap evaporated over $1 trillion from the $225 all-time high.
Do you know people who, seeing revenue double and losses halve, eagerly bought the dip only to lose 15% overnight?
Because you’re not looking at the same thing.
You see revenue. The market sees capital expenditures.
Q2 capital expenditure was $18.369 billion, 6.5 times the $2.825 billion in the same period last year.
Of that, $15.828 billion went to AI computing infrastructure, accounting for 86.2% of total capex, which is 6.2 times the AI business’s quarterly revenue.
The money Starlink makes ($4.291 billion revenue, $1.656 billion profit) isn’t enough to fill the AI and aerospace money pits.
AI business lost $1.257 billion, aerospace lost $542 million.
Of the three segments, only Starlink is profitable. The other two are money sinks.
Musk said on the call: computing power will exceed 2 gigawatts by year-end, nearly 10 gigawatts by next year-end.
In plain terms: the cash burn is just beginning.
The market voted with its feet—stock plunged 14% after earnings.
But the story isn’t over.
More frightening than earnings is the unlock.
On August 6, the first batch of 911.5 million restricted shares unlocked, increasing float from 639 million to 1.55 billion shares.
At the then stock price, that’s about $100 billion potential selling pressure.
This is the largest lockup expiration in U.S. capital market history.
Shorts went crazy.
According to S3 Partners data, as of July 29, short positions reached 219.3 million shares, 34% of the float. 95% of lendable shares were already borrowed.
The nominal short size even exceeded Tesla’s short bets.
This isn’t just shorting. This is all-in betting on SpaceX’s collapse.
Shorts had accumulated paper gains exceeding $9 billion.
Then, the reversal came.
August 6, unlock day.
The stock didn’t crash but rose 6.14%, closing at $114.92.
Trading volume was 255 million shares.
August 7, surged another 15.83%, closing at $133.11.
A two-day cumulative gain of about 23%, market cap increased by over $327 billion.
Just under $2 from the $135 IPO price.
The script completely reversed.
Why?
Three words: short covering.
Let’s break down the logic of this situation—
Step 1: Before earnings, shorts aggressively increased to 34%, betting on disappointing earnings + unlock sell-off.
Step 2: Earnings were actually good (revenue beat, loss narrowed), but scary capex caused a 14% drop. Shorts made big paper profits.
Step 3: Unlock day arrived. Shorts expected early employees and investors to dump shares.
Step 4: No dump. Early investors not only didn’t sell, some bought shares.
Step 5: Stock rose instead of falling. Shorts panicked—219 million short shares, every $1 rise means $219 million loss.
Step 6: Shorts rushed to cover. Covering means buying. Buying pushed the stock higher. The higher the stock, the more shorts forced to cover.
This is the classic short squeeze script.
Even more intense are signals from the options market.
On Thursday, a professional trader made this move—
Sold $12 million worth of put options with a $90 strike expiring June next year, while buying $4.3 million worth of call options with a $220 strike expiring the same day.
Net collected $7.7 million in premiums.
In plain terms: this trader bets SPCX won’t drop 20% in the next 10 months and that the stock could double.
That afternoon, another similar trade: sold $75 strike puts, bought $185 strike calls, expiring January 2028.
Smart money is using a “sell put + buy call” combo, heavily betting SpaceX has bottomed.
On Friday, total options volume hit 2.24 million contracts, with 1.3 million calls, a record high.
Capital is flowing back in.
But don’t celebrate too soon.
Over 250 million shares remain shorted, about 16% of tradable shares.
Shorts were just squeezed once, not wiped out.
And more unlocks are coming—319 million shares may unlock on August 20, about 700 million in September, nearly 700 million in October.
Is this rebound a "bad news priced in" valuation repair or a short squeeze-driven short-term spike?
It depends on two things:
First, will shorts continue to add positions and fight back?
Second, will early investors sell in the upcoming unlock rounds?
To be blunt:
This SPCX script is essentially gamblers betting on a company’s life or death.
Shorts bet SpaceX can’t support its valuation; bulls bet Musk can deliver on promises.
Both sides are heavily staked, but chips are completely asymmetric—
Shorts hold 250 million borrowed shares, always at risk of forced covering.
Bulls hold Musk’s "$1 trillion revenue by 2030" dream.
How far can a rebound propped up by trading structure go?
$SPCX $TSLA $BTC #财报观察员：空头回补成焦点，SpaceX后续怎么看？ Deep in the primary market, a $500 million sum is flowing into new technologies challenging lithography giants, while the hedge funds behind it have just undergone a public market position liquidation.
Public market stock positions are forced to shift to large institutions, and the aftershocks of selling pressure at trading terminals have yet to fully subside.
Safe-haven funds are withdrawing from the highly liquid secondary market, shifting their focus to the long-term core semiconductor processes.
This position realization indicates that tightening liquidity in the secondary market has not weakened capital's long-term bets on the underlying AI computing power bottleneck, but the duration of funds has been extended.
If startup processes complete their first phase of engineering validation within the next few months, market concerns about AI hardware inflation will ease. However, once traditional lithography giants downgrade and launch alternatives, this optimistic outlook will quickly fade.
If R&D progress slows down and capital continues to sink, risk appetite in the primary market will further shrink, and valuation corrections in publicly traded tech stocks will accelerate due to the loss of technical story support—unless macro liquidity becomes more relaxed than expected.
When the order flow of mainstream foundries reverses, the grand narrative of "low-cost lithography breakthroughs" will be completely disproven.
In the next seven days, the most important thing to watch is whether the institutions taking on the fund's open market positions will make new rebalancing moves.
#标普收盘再创新高. Expected rise to 8,000 points #霍尔木兹谈判取得进展, has oil price risk cooled down? #Coldcard旧固件漏洞损失扩大Everyone is trying to get ahead of the same $BTC at the $67K breakout.
Cumulative net long positions are now close to +$500 million, the highest reading BTC has recorded around this price range across the entire range.
The position is much larger than BTC's last time during this trade, and the price has yet to reach the range resistance.
Maybe they are right.
But if the breakout fails, the market will face the largest concentration of trapped long positions at this level of the range.
Another rejection from the range resistance is likely to force these exposures to close positions through range pullbacks.🔍Yao Coin AOB (All on BINANCE) Why is it worth continuous observation?
Since the creation of the block, I have fully reconstructed 153,109 Transfers of AOB and tracked 8,199 historical holding addresses. On-chain data shows that AOB is experiencing explosive growth from early addresses, entering the stage of "chip sedimentation and high turnover competition."
📊 Chip Structure
Current holding addresses: 2,404
Historical cleared positions: 5,795, exit rate 70.68%
Excluding LP, Top 10 holdings account for only 14.97%
Top 50/Top 100 holdings are 43.69%/59.42% respectively
613 diamond-hand addresses hold about 33.69%
Among them, "continuous accumulation diamond hands" hold about 13.71%
This means that although AOB has a certain degree of concentration, the chips are not extremely concentrated in a few addresses, and early selling pressure has already undergone a large-scale release.

Watching $SPCX today, I feel this rally isn't just a sudden wave of sentiment. There are rumors that Falcon 9 will no longer accept forward group orders after 2028, and funds prefer to see this as resources concentrating on Starship. Whether long-term profit margins have improved remains to be seen. What's even more interesting is that after rising 15.8% the day before yesterday, the bears haven't fully exited; continuing to rise could easily trigger a pullback. Combined with the spread of news of Argus and JPMorgan raising target prices, buying is indeed more positive than I expected. But the faster it rises, the less likely I am to chase; let's first see if this rebound can hold steady.
$BTC $ETH 💡 In short: A Bitcoin proposal called BIP-110 entered the mandatory signaling phase at block 961632, but miner support was only 2.53%, far below the activation threshold. It wanted to temporarily limit on-chain non-monetary data, but ended up pushing the community to the edge of a hard fork. 🔍 Let's break down several core questions: What exactly does BIP-110 intend to do? Answer: It was proposed by anonymous developer Dathon Ohm, aiming to add a consensus limit to Bitcoin that lasts about one year. Most new output scripts are limited to 34 bytes OP_RETURN capped to 83 bytes, some data push and witness elements are limited to 256 bytes, and some taproot features are temporarily narrowed. Unspent output that existed before activation is not restricted. Supporters say these restrictions suppress non-monetary data such as inscriptions, reducing storage and bandwidth costs for node operators. Q: What happens during the forced signaling phase? A: Starting from block 961632, nodes executing BIP-110 start rejecting blocks without version bit 4. Regular nodes accept both. Of the previous 2016 blocks, only 51 were signaled by miners, accounting for 2.53%, far from the 55% threshold for early activation. A minority branch briefly appeared but quickly fell behind the main chain. With such a low signal rate and no large number of miners joining, competitive chains struggle to sustain. Ask why Saylor and Core warning: If the CLARITY Act does not achieve substantial progress before September 15, it will be very difficult to pass again
Reason for the stuck: Senate Democratic leader Schumer joined forces with some Democratic lawmakers to block the bill from being voted on before the recess, demanding continued negotiations.
1. Supplement: What is the CLARITY Act?
Officially named the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, it is the most important crypto legislation in the United States:
- Clearly define the regulatory boundaries between the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) and the CFTC (Commodity Futures Commission).
- Decentralized tokens like Bitcoin and Ethereum can be defined as digital goods
- End the long-standing regulatory chaos in the U.S. characterized by "law enforcement through litigation without written laws."
- If implemented, it will greatly attract Wall Street institutional funds into the crypto market
2. Why is September 15th considered a life-or-death day?
1. Constraints on the U.S. Congressional Schedule
After September, Congress quickly moved into election-related agendas, with many legislative topics directly shelved and the remaining effective deliberation window for the year basically closed.
2. Political cycle risks
If the bill is delayed past 2026, when the new parliamentary elections come, the number of seats and party positions will change, and the entire bill will have to be redrafted and redone, essentially starting over—at least 1-2 years delayed.
3. The subtext of the White House advisor's original words: It's not a temporary delay, but rather that this legislative opportunity is completely voided.
3. Impact projection on the crypto market
Scenario 1: Progress on legislation before 9.15 (positive)
- With expectations restored and institutional funds redeploying, the overall crypto market is likely to experience a wave of sentiment rally
- Crypto concept stocks (such as Coinbase) strengthened
Scenario 2: No progress at all before 9.15 (Negative news)
1. Short-term (1-4 weeks)
Market sentiment has plummeted, with more pressure from altcoins facing corrections; Bitcoin is relatively resilient to declines;
Biggest blow: institutional funds continue to hesitate, hesitant to enter large-scale markets (institutions need regulatory certainty most)
2. Medium to Long Term (3-12 months)
The U.S. has returned to "SEC-style regulation," lacking unified federal laws;
Regulatory uncertainty has persisted for a long time, making it difficult for a bull market to rely on U.S. policy catalysts;
The industry will increasingly shift to regions where crypto regulations have already been enacted, such as the EU, Middle East, and Singapore.
4. Current Market Strategic Points
1. The market has already partially priced in the expectation of a delay in the bill, so the news may not immediately plunge, which is considered a "negative in expectations."
2. Next, focus on whether the Senate will arrange a procedural vote in early September, rather than just verbal negotiations
3. If the bill is completely hopeless, market-driven logic will shift entirely back to the Fed interest rate and dollar macro environment, with policy themes taking a back seat. #Storage stocks selling pressure eases, is the AI memory bull market still stable? #现货ETF资金回流, can BTC and ETH take over? #财报观察员：空头回补成焦点，SpaceX后续怎么看？
$SPCX is moving way cleaner than I expected.
The Falcon 9 order cutoff is the new short-term catalyst. The market is reading it as SpaceX cutting lower-margin work and pushing more resources into Starship. That narrative is pulling fresh buyers in.
Then there’s the squeeze. After that 15.8% jump, shorts clearly haven’t disappeared. Every small push higher can force another round of covering. The unlock didn’t create the dump everyone feared, so now those shorts are becoming fuel.
Brokerage upgrades are adding more heat too. Argus and JPM targets keep circulating, and dip buyers are still willing to step in.
Lowkey, this is why the rebound feels different. New catalyst + trapped shorts + bullish reports = a pretty clean momentum setup.
$SPCX 承重墙上的裂缝，从来都是从“人事”这一根钢筋开始锈蚀的。
白宫要撤换美联储理事Lisa Cook，就像建筑方想替换承重墙里的一根锚栓。她还没回答完那堆指控，冲击钻已经架到墙边。参议员沃伦拿防火隔板顶着，但白宫说自己只是和美联储主席沃什讨论经济——这话听着像工头拎着工具箱说“我只是和监理聊聊天”。
从我的习惯看，美联储独立性就是整座货币大厦的剪力墙。剪力墙一旦开了窗，风就能穿堂，结构的刚度矩阵就要改写。现在工资数据像松动的砖，九月的政策预期像临时支撑架，市场不是在读图纸，而是在看工头会不会强行换掉监理。
做设计这么多年，我最怕的不是荷载不够，而是业主开始插手结构选型。美联储的七名理事是七根立柱，缺一根楼不塌，但业主一旦表现出“哪根柱子我看着不顺眼”，所有柱子的应力分配都要重新计算。美元是外立面玻璃，国债是楼板，黄金是地下室防水层，加密资产是顶层还没做完风洞试验的观光厅——这些全部依赖同一套结构体系。
在图纸上，美联储的独立性标注着明确的公差范围。历届政府都在这个公差内微调，但没有人直接把立柱从承重体系里抽出来。这回不同——他们不是微调，是拿着冲击钻拆墙。而且拆墙的噪音盖过了工资数据和通胀信号。市场之所以开始重新定价九月的政策路径，不是因为经济学家发现了新裂缝，而是因为所有人都听见了墙里面传来的金属疲劳声。
顺便说一句，白皮书只是效果图，施工质量才决定建筑寿命。有人盯着利率决议当外观挑毛病，却忽略了理事会人事这堵填充墙已经在被反复敲砸。填充墙不承重，但敲多了，粉尘会堵住新风系统，让人喘不过气。
XSOXL这种标的，本质是高标号玻璃幕墙配悬挑桁架。它对风压极其敏感。当政治风压从白宫与美联储之间的缝隙灌进来，最先颤动的不是混凝土核心筒，而是这种悬挑构件。市场若只盯着利率曲线那层抹灰，就看错了地方。要盯的是结构工程师们是否开始递交辞呈。
现在最危险的，是“经济讨论”这把软锤反复敲打同一面剪力墙。今天敲掉一个锚栓Lisa Cook，明天换一根钢梁沃什，后天就该改混凝土标号了。哪怕这次她留任，墙体的损伤已经记录在案。美元、美债、黄金、加密——所有人都住在这同一栋楼里，但没有人拥有这栋楼的剪力墙。
我的施工日志最后一页写着：当政客开始用卷尺量承重墙的厚度，这栋楼就进入了拆除流程。XSOXL只是最早感应到震动的铝板，它连震源都算不上。 #whitehousevslisacook#现货ETF资金回流, can BTC and ETH take over?
To be honest, last week's ETF data was quite impressive—not just empty promises, but real money pouring in.
From August 3rd to 7th, over these five trading days, US spot BTC ETFs saw net inflows of $853.5 million, while ETH ETFs saw net inflows of $244.9 million—nearly $1.1 billion in total. What does that mean? This is the strongest week since mid-April, and BTC has been in the red for five consecutive days, not missing a single day. Even more outrageous, the previous week saw a net outflow of $61.5 million, but this week it reversed by nearly $900 million—changing faces faster than flipping a page.
In July, BTC ETFs saw only 172 million in inflows, and in August, the market had just one week of inflows and had already increased fivefold—the capital sentiment is clear.
But one detail needs to be clarified—this round is basically just BlackRock itself putting on a show. IBIT took 693 million on its own, accounting for 81% of total BTC inflows; $ETH ETHA took 203 million over there, also over 80%. That means nearly 900 million of the 1.1 billion was carried by BlackRock's two funds, while the others were mostly just playing the soy sauce. So rather than saying "institutions are collectively back," it's more accurate to say "BlackRock is buying up stocks again." This concentration is a hidden danger; if BlackRock ever shuts down, the data could immediately look bad.
Now let's look at the price. $BTC Currently near 64,800, up more than 3 points over the week; ETH is around 1,910, up nearly 4% for the week, slightly stronger. ETH is now above the 20-day, 50-day, and 100-day moving averages, but the 200-day moving average is holding back at 2,061, which is the real hurdle. Whether it can reach $2,000 depends on whether this wave of ETF inflows can continue.
Now, let's talk about $SOL, which is quite interesting.
ETFs on the BTC and ETH sides are buying like crazy, while SOL's spot ETFs actually saw a net outflow of about $900,000 last week—not much, but the problem is that it had recorded zero inflows for several consecutive days, earning people the nickname "five consecutive zeros." But the magical part is, SOL's price has actually been rising in the past two days.
The macro sector also cooperated. July's employment data was disappointing, and the probability of a rate hike in September dropped below 50%, giving risk assets a sigh of relief. But this is a double-edged sword—poor data means the economy is really cooling, and whether short-term positive sentiment can hold up depends on the CPI coming up.
So can we take the relay? My view:
Short-term sentiment has indeed returned. BTC at 65,000 is a psychological barrier; if volume builds and it holds firm, the upside potential will open upward; If ETH ETF inflows maintain this pace, hitting 2,000 is not impossible. But don't get too carried away. First, trading volume hasn't kept up, and The Block also mentioned "low volume"—you know the market is about price rising and volume shrinking; Second, BlackRock's proportion is too high, and broad-based funding hasn't kept up; Third, the macro bomb hasn't been cleared yet.
The conclusion is: it's a fact that funds have returned, but it's still a breath short of 'relay'—let's see if we can see net inflows for the second consecutive week this week. One week of data is called a rebound; only after two weeks or more is it called a trend. Don't FOMO, and don't miss out; watching ETF daily reports is more effective than following candlesticks.#现货ETF资金回流, can BTC and ETH take over?
1. Capital Inflow: Both BTC and ETFs are recovering
After a sharp sell-off at the end of July, both Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs saw significant capital inflows in the first week of August. This week, the cumulative net inflow of Bitcoin ETFs has surpassed $750 million. Ethereum ETF: Warming Up Simultaneously However, the historical cumulative net inflow of Ethereum spot ETFs has surpassed $11.4 billion.
2. Price Response: Immediate rise ≠ capital inflow
The most critical observation is that large-scale capital inflows have not pushed prices up in tandem.
Bitcoin $BTC: Hovering in the $64,900-$65,100 range, ETF inflows totaled $738 million over the past 7 trading days, with BTC up only 1.14%.
Ethereum $ETH: Quoted around $1,919; ETF inflows of $156 million over the past 7 days, while ETH actually fell 0.69%.
3. Summary
Capital inflow is a positive signal, but the "relay" is not yet complete.
Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs indeed saw strong capital inflows back in the first week of August, and institutional allocation demand is recovering. However, prices reacted mutedly, reflecting that the market is in a tug-of-war between long and short positions—institutions are slowly building positions through ETFs, long-term holders continue to distribute while retail investors retreat, forming a temporary balance.
Whether BTC can continue to rise depends on whether it can effectively break through the $65,000 resistance and hold firm; ETH needs stronger spot demand to verify the effectiveness of ETF inflows. #标普收盘再创新高. Rising expectations at 8,000 points #财报观察员: Bear buying becomes the focus—what is SpaceX's outlook going forward? $BTC $ETH $SOL #非农意外转负, CPI becomes the key to rate hikes. #CLARITY表决推迟至9月, regulatory window pushed back—is the big retreat over? BTC has reclaimed the "iron throne," but the signals behind the data are not optimistic
Just now, a piece of data from CoinMarketCap sent shockwaves through the entire crypto community: BTC has once again become the largest reserve asset among major exchanges.
The total size is about $59 billion, accounting for 30.3% of total reserves. This figure not only signifies Bitcoin's return to the throne but also marks the temporary end of the "stablecoin hegemony era" led by USDT that began in May this year.
To be honest, my first reaction upon seeing this news wasn't 'Niuhui' (a big surprise), but rather a complex emotion.
Let's look at the details. Although BTC ranks first in total volume, USDT's reserves also reach $55.3 billion, accounting for 28.4%, making it almost a close battle. Together, these two account for nearly 60% of the reserve fund. What does this mean? It shows that in this market, conservative money and aggressive money have never been separated.
What's even more interesting are the "personality differences" among major exchanges. MEXC's stablecoin reserves account for 70.8%, KuCoin's 60.1%, meaning the vast majority of funds on these platforms are "ready to flee at any moment." Binance's stablecoin reserves alone reach $46 billion, a scale that would make any market maker covet and attract the attention of any regulator.
CoinMarketCap's commentary hits the nail on the head: reserve composition reflects risk appetite, reserve size reflects liquidity volume.
To put it plainly—when the market is truly panicking, people choose to swap their coins for stablecoins and "hold on"; When the market is greedy, Bitcoin reserves soar. Now that BTC has returned to the top spot, is it institutions bottom-fishing, or retail investors out of FOMO?
The answer may lie in a detail: although USDT's share has dropped to second place, its $55.3 billion volume remains at a historic high. This means a large amount of capital is just "waiting" rather than "retreating." They are like soldiers lying in trenches, loaded with bullets but still undecided which direction to charge.
For us ordinary players, the most memorable thing about this report is just one sentence: Bitcoin reserves are the market's "ballast stone," while stablecoin reserves are the "powder keg." When the fuse in the powder keg is lit, can the ballast hold the ship's hull?
This question is left for time to answer. But one thing is certain—in this industry, those who understand the reserve structure will never swim naked before the storm arrives.I am Brother Ci. The non-farm payroll data came out two days ago, and the market has already given the first round of feedback. BTC surged from 64750 to above 65350, and now it has pulled back to around 64800, consolidating sideways. The direction has not been fully decided yet.
The data itself is clear. July non-farm payrolls decreased by 23,000, while the expectation was an increase of 80,000. May and June combined were revised down by 103,000. The unemployment rate dropped from 4.2% to 4.1%, due to a decline in labor force participation. CME data shows the probability of a September rate hike dropped from over 50% to 44%, while Kalshi shows the probability of maintaining the current rate rose to 65%.
Breaking down this data, employment is indeed weakening, but the falling unemployment rate prevents the market from directly pricing in a recession. The main trading theme has shifted: previously it was whether employment could outpace inflation; now, after the non-farm surprise, the question is whether CPI will rewrite the policy pricing for September. Next week's CPI is the real judgment point. If CPI is weak, rate cut expectations will heat up, and BTC may directly break through 65500 and surge to 67000. If CPI is strong, rate hike expectations will soar again, and BTC will pull back to 63500-64000.
The market is consolidating around 65000, waiting for that catalyst. At 65000, a breakout upward requires incremental buying, while a pullback downward needs a negative trigger. Non-farm payrolls have already overturned half the table; the other half is waiting for CPI to overturn it. Don't heavily bet on direction before the data comes out; set stop losses properly, and follow up once the direction is clear. Non-farm payrolls are the preliminary battle; CPI is the decisive battle.
Brother Ci has finished speaking. Think it over carefully. #存储股抛压缓和，AI内存牛市还稳吗？ $BTC $ETH $BICO #AIMemorySelloffEases #BTCETHETFInflowsReturn #SpaceXShortCovering If this round of bull performance in the crypto world really comes back, many people will immediately have a thought: Should US stocks be the first to withdraw? Should all the money be moved into cryptocurrency? This momentum becomes even more pronounced when you see BTC strengthen again, ETH starts to catch up, and SOL and altcoins show resilience. But I actually think the most common mistake at this time isn't buying too little, but thinking too extremely: not "US stocks are over, crypto is coming," but more likely "US stocks can still be held, crypto is more elastic." In other words, the next round may not be the most worthwhile move to liquidate US stocks and swap coins, but rather a smarter asset allocation. To start with the conclusion: just because the crypto bull market is back doesn't mean US stocks will definitely fall. Many people like to think of these two markets as seesaws: when crypto rises, US stocks fall; when US stocks rise, crypto has no chance. But reality is often not that simple. If the macro environment warms up—such as rising expectations for rate cuts, a weaker dollar, improved liquidity, and a rebound in risk appetite—then US stocks and the crypto sector could rise together. However, the price increases may not be the same. Usually, the most likely scenario is: US stocks continue to rise slowly, while crypto rises even more aggressively. US stocks are now more likely to "continue trending at high levels," and if crypto shifts from a bearish bottom zone back to bullish, the odds and elasticity will be significantly greater. The problem with US stocks isn't whether they will crash immediately, but that the odds aren't as high as before. Nowadays, many US stock leaders and indices aren't considered "bad assets" themselves. The problem is, they have been rising for many years. In other words, while U.S. stocks can certainly continue to rise, you want to repeat what happened a few years agoThe CLARITY Act is not dead; it was pushed forward again before the Senate recess
A few days ago, the market was saying the CLARITY Act was about to be stalled again.
Before the adjournment, the U.S. Senate still pushed it forward, with a procedural vote scheduled for mid-September.
What does this mean?
At the very least, it shows that this matter is not "completely hopeless," but has shifted from "immediate approval" to "continuing the tug-of-war."
The real difficulty is clear: the bill requires 60 votes, and Republicans alone aren't enough—at least eight Democratic senators must support it. The banking industry is also opposing some provisions, because stablecoin rewards would directly affect the traditional banking market.
So my current view is:
Regulatory benefits remain, but don't fantasize about overnight implementation.
For BTC, advancing the bill is certainly a good thing; But for altcoins and domestic US projects, what really matters is not "pushing another step," but when the rules are truly written down.
On the contrary, I think the September vote will be even more interesting than now.
If even the procedural vote passes, the market might resume trading a "regulatory bull market."
Do you think September will get through this time, or will it keep dragging on?

Berkshire finally started spending money
Berkshire sent a very important signal in the second quarter:
After 14 consecutive quarters of net stock selling, it finally made a big buying rebound.
In Q2, Berkshire Hathaway bought about $23.5 billion in stock, sold about $3.7 billion, and ultimately achieved a net purchase of about $19.8 billion.
Even more noteworthy is that Alphabet (Google's parent company) has officially entered Berkshire's top five holdings, replacing Chevron.
Currently, the top five holdings include:
① Alphabet
(2) American Express
(3) Apple
(4) Bank of America
(5) Coca-Cola
Meanwhile, Berkshire Hathaway repurchased about $4.53 billion worth of its own stock in the second quarter, significantly increasing the intensity of the buyback.
Cash reserves also fell from about $397.4 billion at the end of Q1 to about $364.7 billion at the end of Q2.
In other words, Berkshire is undergoing a clear change:
In recent years, they have been stockpiling cash and waiting for opportunities; Now, they are starting to reinvest cash back into the market.
The most noteworthy aspect is this approximately $10 billion Alphabet investment.
During the Warren Buffett era, Berkshire Hathaway focused on high-quality consumer and financial companies represented by Apple, but now Google has become a core holding.
Clearly, the bet behind this is not just traditional search business, but:

Brother Ci has finished speaking. Think it over carefully. #存储股抛压缓和，AI内存牛市还稳吗？ $BTC $ETH $BICO #AIMemorySelloffEases #BTCETHETFInflowsReturn #SpaceXShortCovering Recently, many people have been puzzled:
ETH has ETFs, institutional attention, and ecosystem development, so why hasn't its price exploded significantly?
I believe what ETH lacks right now is not positive news, but liquidity catalysts.
The U.S. economy is undergoing changes:
📉 Inflation is gradually cooling down
📉 The job market began to slow down
The market has begun to re-trade "rate cut expectations."
Why is this important for ETH?
Because ETH is a highly elastic risk asset.
High interest rate periods:
High dollar returns → funds lean toward safe-haven → crypto under pressure
Rate cut cycle:
Increased liquidity → funds seeking high-yield assets→ ETH may benefit
Of course, the biggest risks are:
If inflation fluctuates, the Fed delays rate cuts, market liquidity continues to tighten, ETH's upward momentum could be interrupted.
So next, focus on:
✅ U.S. CPI
✅ Nonfarm payrolls
✅ Federal Reserve September meeting attitude
My viewpoint:
What ETH is waiting for now may not be more news, but rather the reopening of global liquidity.
If the rate-cutting cycle officially begins, ETH may become the core asset that capital is regaining its attention.
Do you think ETH can break its previous high in the next round?
