Market analysis this week: Funds are still flowing in, but momentum is marginally decreasing. Major coins are oscillating downward, while altcoins are showing significant divergence.
1. $BTC ETF had a net inflow of $216.7 million on Monday, with IBIT dominating 95% of it.
$ETH ETF has had net inflows for 11 consecutive days, totaling $1.6 billion.
$SOL ETF has had net inflows for 10 consecutive days, but on the day it sharply dropped to $925,000 — institutional enthusiasm for SOL is cooling down.
2. The RSI for BTC and ETH are both still at 70, remaining in the overbought zone. It's not a peak yet, but the risk of chasing higher is accumulating.
SOL is also at 68, with a higher probability of a short-term pullback than a continued surge.
3. Two clear events next week: DOGE-1 satellite may launch, and Solana Alpenglow consensus might upgrade. DOGE and SOL could benefit.
4. On the xStocks side, SNDK investor day guidance failed to reach consensus, facing short-term pressure; SpaceX users surpassed 12 million, showing strong fundamentals. Micron and SK Hynix followed the storage sector adjustment, but the HBM demand logic remains unchanged.
My approach: Hold onto BTC and ETH without moving, no chasing in the short term. DOGE can be speculated on for pre-launch sentiment. xSPCX has the strongest fundamentals, can buy at lows; xSNDK has short-term emotional pitfalls, better to exit first. Can't take it anymore, can't take it anymore, can't hold on.
$ETH's current pullback is so exhausting. Didn't exit at 2480, now it's pressed near 2400. Using 30x leverage really can't fight emotions. The logic behind Ethereum isn't flawed; ETF and on-chain staking expectations remain, but short-term it's being led by macro factors and BTC. The dollar, US bonds, and employment data are suppressing risk assets, turning ETH's resilience into downward resilience. The unrealized losses shown in the chart and maintaining margin ratio are uncomfortable; holding on longer is just gambling on a rebound with your mindset.
$BTC tried to recover after breaking below 7.8, but the market is still waiting for JOLTS, ADP, and non-farm payroll data, so volatility isn't over. I used to think "wait a bit more" was discipline, but often it's just greed disguised. Leverage positions fear this kind of slow decline plus sudden spikes the most; profits don't exit, and pullbacks get amplified.
Now focusing on just two things: whether ETH can hold near 2400 and whether BTC can stabilize back in the key zone. If it can't stabilize, reduce leverage; don't turn your allocation logic into a contract gamble. No matter how much trading advice you hear, nothing beats a stop-loss line.
#就业数据密集公布，沃什政策立场受检验 #BTC高位震荡，与黄金联动增强 ETF funds are still flowing in — so why are BTC and ETH adjusting?
The spot ETF channel hasn't closed yet, and institutional medium- to long-term allocation willingness remains, but the market is being suppressed by short-term factors. BTC is probing around 77.8K, ETH is close to 2.45K; on the surface, it's a pullback, but in reality, it's multiple pressures stacking up: rising US Treasury yields, a relatively strong dollar, oil prices and inflation expectations swinging back, the market becoming cautious again about the Fed's path, and risk assets generally being repriced.
On the other hand, profit-taking on-chain and at the contract level is also being released. The large amount of floating profits accumulated during the previous rally phase, encountering a week of macro data and the seasonal weakness in September, easily triggers position reductions; ETF inflows are more "structural," which doesn't mean they can support leverage and sentiment positions every day. Especially this week, with dense employment data releases, any number from JOLTS, ADP, or non-farm payrolls exceeding expectations could cause short-term interest rates and crypto volatility to jump together.
So the adjustment doesn't mean the ETF logic has failed; it's more like a tug-of-war between incremental funds and existing leverage/macro pressure. BTC should first watch the reaction after the previous support turns, and ETH should focus on exchange inventory and the sustainability of spot buying. Don't negate the trend based on a single daily candlestick, and don't increase heavy positions before interest rate expectations stabilize.
#就业数据密集公布，沃什政策立场受检验 #BTC高位震荡，与黄金联动增强 The US ISM Manufacturing PMI for August dropped to 54.6, below the expected 55.2 and down 1.0 point from July's 55.6, but still 4.6 points above the contraction threshold of 50. The core of the data is not that manufacturing has weakened into contraction, but that momentum within the expansion range has cooled. Market assessments of growth resilience and inflation pressure need to consider both dimensions simultaneously.
Historical data provides a clearer path: 52.7 in April, rising to 54.0 in May, falling to 53.3 in June, rising to 55.6 in July, and then dropping to 54.6 in August. Manufacturing has remained in expansion for at least five consecutive months, but August failed to continue July's upward trend and was 0.6 points below market expectations, indicating that business activity is still expanding but with weaker marginal strength than previously priced in.
The Federal Reserve maintained the federal funds rate at 3.75% in both June and July. This PMI does not signal manufacturing contraction, but being below expectations and declining from the previous value may reduce the necessity for further tightening; readings above 50 also limit the rationale for a rapid shift to easing. The policy path is expected to continue focusing on monitoring subsequent inflation and employment data.🚨 ETH just dropped $2,400 — is this whale activity or geopolitical panic?
ETH is currently hovering around 2,399, with a cold splash at the start of September, down nearly 3% intraday. On the surface, it looks like large on-chain transfers and profit-taking dumping, but the underlying cause is macro pressure: escalating US-Iran tensions pushing up oil prices, US Treasury yields continuing to rise, a strong dollar, and risk assets being repriced overall. Plus, September is historically a weak window, with contract leverage piled high, so any trigger causes volatility.
Technically, the $2,438 support has been broken, with short-term sellers dominating. Downside targets are first around $2,320 for support, then $2,220, and in extreme cases testing the $2,000 round number. But it’s not without confidence: ETH rose over 20% in August, spot ETFs still have mid-to-long-term funds coming in, and on-chain withdrawals and exchange inventory structures haven’t completely deteriorated. As long as no macro black swan appears, the deep drop looks more like a shakeout after a rise rather than a trend reversal.
In terms of trading, don’t chase shorts impulsively, and don’t rush to bottom-fish; wait for daily close stability and volume confirmation. Keep positions light and reduce leverage.
#就业数据密集公布，沃什政策立场受检验 #BTC高位震荡，与黄金联动增强 #财报观察员：博通与戴尔接棒，AI回报再受检验 Setting price aside, BTC's community data itself already shows two different clues. On September 2, 05:00, OKX Onchain OS recorded 97 mentions of BTC in one hour, including 87 mentions of X and 10 news articles; The total volume in 24 hours was 1,483. After calculation, the latest hour is 1.57 times the long-window hourly average, which is about 57% higher than the 24-hour average. This ratio only answers whether the discussion has heated up, not whether buying has increased. If you write it directly as a breakout signal, it would be an extra step beyond the inference that the data does not support. The tone structure is a different line. One hour is 43% bullish, 12% bearish, neutral about 45%, which is a "bullish clearly dominant" category; Within the 24-hour period, the trend is 40% bullish and 14% bearish. The gap between the short and long windows is the part worth tracking going forward. In terms of sources, BTC is currently mainly driven by X. When a news is widely shared, mentions quickly increase, but independent information may not increase year-on-year. The trending list cannot tell us whether each piece of text comes from different participants, nor is it weighted by account influence or fund size. The long window source can be used as background: BTC has 1,288 times in 24 hours, and 195 news reports. If the proportion of sources in one hour suddenly deviates sharply, it could mean new news first broke out on a certain channel, or it could just be that news updates haven't caught up yet. Both explanations are reasonable, so we still have to wait$USELESS I've heard people call this coin "useless coin." If it's so useless, why does it keep rising like this?
From 0.033 to 0.12, it went up several times without crashing, which shows that the chips and sentiment don't follow the fundamentals at all. Coins with such self-deprecating names are all about attracting attention. When contract funding fees get high, the bears' "top-out mindset" actually becomes fuel. You think it's peaking, but it's actually a liquidity game; once leverage is added, a few points of pullback are enough to make people uncomfortable. The chart shows a floating loss of over 150%, which is a typical result of trying to catch the very last bite.
You can't apply value coin logic to these altcoins. Pits like XAN and XPL, which have dropped 90% or even been delisted, many people have seen them before but think they won't catch the last fall. I used to make the same mistake—buying the dip, then it dips again, and finally realizing that "going long" isn't a talisman; position sizing and exit strategy are what matter.
Now I only look at one thing: coins without real income, depth, lock-up/burn mechanisms, or use cases— the more they rise, the more you should treat them like fireworks. If you want to participate, keep a small position and trade quickly; don't hold onto empty hopes, and definitely don't keep buying to become a shareholder.
#就业数据密集公布，沃什政策立场受检验 #BTC高位震荡，与黄金联动增强 My view: the market is in a "medium-term uptrend but short-term correction" phase, with no signs confirming a long-term downtrend yet.
Institutional capital remains a bright spot: Spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted about 216.7 million USD on August 31; August recorded approximately 3.52 billion USD inflows. Ethereum ETFs also saw 11 consecutive sessions of capital inflows, totaling about 1.6 billion USD during this streak. The biggest risk: US–Iran tensions driving oil prices up and US bond yields nearing 4.8%, with a high probability of the Fed raising interest rates in September $CORE OKX delists CORE on-chain earning product, signaling strong risk
OKX officially delists the CORE on-chain earning product, and funds will be automatically redeemed before 14:00 on September 2.
The logic behind this is very clear:
The exchange's risk control acted in advance and no longer supports user staking mining. The large amount of tokens originally locked in the earning staking pool will all be unstaked and returned to users' accounts.
Previously, these tokens were locked and could not be directly dumped on the secondary market. Now that the earning product is delisted and staking is unlocked, a large amount of CORE tokens become freely transferable.
This means that after deposits and withdrawals reopen on September 3, more tokens can be directly withdrawn to exchanges for sale, potentially increasing selling pressure.
Exchanges do not delist earning products without reason; they assess risks related to project tokens and contracts and take preemptive risk avoidance measures.
However, note that token unlocking does not necessarily mean a price dump; it only significantly increases the possibility of selling, sharply raising market uncertainty.

#BTC高位震荡，与黄金联动增强 BTC has already fallen back near 77K, but what is really weighing on the market is not internal negative news from the crypto circle, but rather "the surge in oil prices + global bond sell-off + the Fed's September rate hike probability rising to about 68%." What's more troublesome is that the preliminary data for the BTC ETF on September 1st has also turned negative again.
① BTC: 77K has become a must-defend area
On September 1st, BTC once dropped to about $77,300–$77,500, clearly below the 80K level that was repeatedly contested in the previous days. ETH also fell back to about $2,400–$2,450 during the same period.
I now see the structure very simply:
80K: has turned back into strong resistance
77K: current first line of support
Below 77K: need to guard against further deleveraging
The biggest difference between this drop and previous ones is:
It’s not just BTC selling off alone, but the entire global risk asset class is being repriced due to high interest rates.
② ETF: There was indeed a strong inflow on August 31st, but it turned negative again on the first day of September
Farside final data confirms:
August 31 BTC Spot ETF: +$216.7M
Among which BlackRock IBIT single-day inflow was about +$205.9M.
This is much stronger than the preliminary data seen in yesterday’s morning report, indicating that the -$201.9M on last Friday did not immediately evolve into a sustained capital outflow.Brothers, big news! A mysterious big player is frantically selling! A total of 167,855 ETH, valued at about $408 million at the current price. Who can withstand this?
On-chain tracking shows that these chips were aggregated from multiple addresses and sent to exchanges in bulk. About 70,739 ETH have entered the platform within 48 hours, equivalent to about $174 million at the time; the remaining approximately 97,115 ETH have not moved yet, hanging overhead worth about $237 million. This node in early September is quite sensitive, combined with interest rate hike expectations and BTC high-level oscillation, ETH was already looking for support, and such transfer actions are easily interpreted by the market as a prelude to selling pressure.
But don’t just see it as bearish. Recently, ETH spot ETFs still have net inflows, and the long-term on-chain withdrawal trend hasn’t been completely broken, indicating a tug-of-war between institutional allocation and whale selling. The key is to watch exchange net flows and defense around 2400; if there is no continuous sell-off after the transfer, it might just be repositioning/hedging; if the remaining 97,000 continue flowing to the platform, short-term volatility will increase.
Personally, I will monitor order book depth and stablecoin inflows, not rushing to guess identities or blindly follow. Keep positions light and wait for signal confirmation.
#就业数据密集公布，沃什政策立场受检验 #BTC高位震荡，与黄金联动增强 21 financial institutions plan to jointly issue a US dollar stablecoin; is stablecoin competition entering the banking system?
Reuters reports that Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Citi, Deutsche Bank, and 17 other financial institutions plan to establish a company together and issue a US dollar stablecoin in 2027.
What’s interesting about this is not just "another stablecoin."
In the past, stablecoins were mainly driven by crypto-native companies, with use cases focused on trading, cross-border transfers, and DeFi. Now, major banks are starting to jointly build their own US dollar on-chain infrastructure. Competition may gradually shift from issuance scale to several more practical issues:
Can it connect to bank accounts and payment networks?
Are the reserve assets and redemption mechanisms sufficiently transparent?
Can different institutions settle with each other?
Can stablecoins truly be used for corporate payments, rather than just circulating within trading platforms?
For ordinary users, the most intuitive change might not be having an additional asset in their wallet, but that the paths for cross-border receipts and settlements have increased.
However, more paths may also mean more complexity in choices: collection networks, address formats, fees, and compliance restrictions all need wallets and payment tools to handle more clearly on behalf of users.
Bank-issued stablecoins are just the first step. Whether they can ultimately become everyday payment tools depends on whether these details can truly be implemented.Dehydrated overnight market, strip away the noise, focus only on the core information that truly affects capital flows. 👇 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ☀️ One-sentence core summary: The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index has dropped two consecutive drops to drag BTC down to 78K, and the VIX jumped from 14.92 to 16.34—panic has officially begun.

This time, Huang is not buying Hugging Face's mere $150 million annual revenue; he is buying the "faucet" of the world's open-source AI. Why is Huang willing to pay a sky-high premium? OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google are frantically developing their own chips to break free from Nvidia's dependence. Huang's response is ruthless: since closed-source giants want to stab me in the back, I'll directly buy the "headquarters" of 3 million downstream open-source models and 13 million developers. Hugging Face was originally the "Switzerland" of the AI world—absolutely neutral. Once acquired by Nvidia, from model recommendation, inference backend adaptation to development pipelines, Nvidia's CUDA ecosystem will completely lock down the open-source entry. According to real-time capital and market data monitored by OKX, the secondary market has already given extremely sensitive feedback with real money: Funding rates and open interest both soar: OKX AI sector's main targets (such as TAO, RENDER, FET, NEAR) see rapid capital accumulation in perpetual contract open interest in the short term, with long funding rates significantly rising, indicating leveraged funds are using the premium from massive Web2 acquisitions to go long on high Beta AI tokens. The irony is, the founder of Hugging Face once firmly stated in 2024: "Excessive concentration of power is the biggest risk in AI." Yet, faced with nearly $14 billion in absolute cash power, even Switzerland The Trump family earned nearly $1.2 billion from cryptocurrency last year. Behind this figure lies a series of carefully packaged deals of power and money. Who is footing the bill for these deals? And who is truly benefiting from them? 1. Justin Sun: The $75 million "investment pledge" Less than three weeks after Trump won the election, before the White House doors officially opened to him, Justin Sun's money had already arrived. Justin Sun, the cryptocurrency billionaire who was then being sued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), invested $30 million in the Trump family's crypto project, then added another $45 million, totaling $75 million. Such a large sum could buy a decent company, but what Sun bought was not shares in the Trump family company—no dividends, no profit sharing, and initially no freedom to resell. What he truly gained was mainly the right to participate in project voting. Meanwhile, the Trump family received real cash. According to the project's public documents, after deducting agreed fees and reserves, the Trump family’s affiliated company could take 75% of the token sales revenue. In other words, whether the token price rises or not is unknown, but the Trump family could immediately monetize this income. At the same time, Justin Sun transformed into an advisor for Trump's token project, and the SEC charges against him quietly disappeared. The same person who was a defendant in U.S. regulatory filings became one of the key clients in the presidential family's business. Subsequently, the SEC suspended its case against Justin Sun $SPCX closed at 142.23 on Monday, down 1.02%. The intraday high reached 145.23 but couldn't hold. Volume was 52.81 million shares, still not good compared to a while ago—the price is rising but volume can't keep up, an old problem. Closed at 141.50 last Friday.
The biggest news these two days is the AI data center team restructuring. Facilities in Tennessee and Mississippi had reliability issues; some sites have been without backup cooling and power for months, a hidden risk left from rushing capacity expansion. SpaceX moved veterans from rockets and Starlink to rescue the situation, aiming to reach 2GW computing power by the end of the year. AI revenue hit 2.6 billion in Q2, up from only 737 million last year. Meanwhile, Musk announced he is manufacturing gas turbine blades himself to solve the "invisible bottleneck" of power shortages in AI data centers. The news caused a 1.6% rise on Monday.
What to watch next: Starship's 14th test flight may happen in mid-September, targeting the first orbit insertion. If successful, it would be a qualitative leap for the entire valuation logic. Wall Street's 35 analysts have an average target price of 219. Morgan Stanley reiterated 300, Bernstein 248, JPMorgan 240. But some see a low of 117.
My personal view: short-term oscillation between 135-145. AI data center issues are not fully resolved, a 57% chance of a rate hike in September is not friendly to tech stocks, and Starship's outcome is uncertain. But the long-term logic remains intact; the AI + space story is still ongoing. I haven't changed my position, waiting for Starship to land before making moves.
# Capital continues to flow in — even as the market adjusts
BTC nearly +924 million, ETH +824 million, SOL +154 million, XRP +110 million; this pace indicates the adjustment is not a withdrawal of funds but more like a portfolio rebalancing. In the last week of August, spot crypto ETFs still saw over 2 billion USD inflow overall; although BTC retraced to 77K–78K, the institutional channel remains intact. After a net outflow of about 201.9 million on 8/28, it reversed to a net inflow of about 216.7 million on 9/1, showing quick resilience. ETH, SOL, and XRP are also simultaneously attracting capital, with allocation funds and ecosystem narrative funds both seeking positions.
Prices are fluctuating, but on-chain and ETF levels have not signaled panic. In the short term, of course, keep an eye on US bonds, the dollar, and employment data, as volatility will be amplified; but as long as the ETF channel remains positive, deep corrections look more like shakeouts rather than trend reversals. Structurally, BTC is expected to find support near 77K, ETH depends on whether spot/ETF demand can continue to hold, and SOL and XRP will follow risk appetite.
Don’t get misled by intraday spikes; as long as funds haven’t exited, the underlying trend is still intact. Stay light and wait for confirmation; don’t chase rallies or sell in panic.
#就业数据密集公布，沃什政策立场受检验 #财报观察员：博通与戴尔接棒，AI回报再受检验 #Employment data released intensively, Wash's policy stance under scrutiny
ISM Manufacturing PMI below expectations but still in expansion territory, Fed remains reluctant to move
The just-released data shows the US August ISM Manufacturing PMI recorded 54.6, below the market expectation of 55.2 and down 1 point from July's 55.6.
How to interpret this data?
54.6 means manufacturing is still expanding (above 50 is expansion), but the pace of expansion is indeed slowing. April 52.7 → May 54.0 → June 53.3 → July 55.6 → August 54.6, the overall trend is "still growing, but the strength fluctuates."
What does this mean for Fed policy?
Lower than expected and previous value does weaken the necessity for further tightening, but 54.6 itself is not low enough to justify a quick shift to easing. Wash just hawked at Jackson Hole, saying inflation is still above 2% and financial conditions are not yet restrictive; this data can only be considered "less hawkish," but not "dovish" enough.
Impact on $BTC?
After the data release, BTC hovered around 77,200 with little movement. The real market focus is Friday's nonfarm payroll data, which is the key factor deciding whether to raise rates in September. PMI data at most reduces some market worries but won't change the direction.
Manufacturing is still expanding, just not as strongly as before. The real verdict is on Friday. Oil prices return to $90, US-Iran clash again, but the real trouble may not be crude oil.
It's:
Inflation trades are back.
Latest close:
Brent crude $94.65, +4.6%
WTI crude $90.22, +5.2%
US and Iran have resumed military attacks, and supply risks in the Strait of Hormuz are heating up again.
In short:
One of the world's most important oil routes is unstable again, and the market must reprice the "supply cut risk."
What's more troubling is that two supertankers carrying Saudi crude were recently attacked in the Strait of Hormuz, indicating the risk is no longer just a verbal threat.
This is not simply "war bearish" for BTC.
The real transmission chain is:
Oil price rises
→ Inflation expectations heat up again
→ US Treasury yields rise
→ Fed finds it harder to pivot dovish
→ Valuations of risk assets like BTC and tech stocks come under pressure.
When oil prices rose on September 1, the US 10-year yield rose simultaneously, and the Nasdaq fell about 1%, showing the market has begun repricing rate risk.
So the key going forward is not whether oil prices hold above 90.
But to watch two scenarios:
Scenario A:
US-Iran conflict escalates, Strait of Hormuz remains restricted, Brent continues to challenge $95–100.
Then the market may reprice "high oil prices + high inflation + higher rates," which is somewhat suppressive for BTC.
Scenario B:
Military conflict cools down again, Strait transport clearly recovers, oil prices quickly fall back below $90.
Then this round looks more like a geopolitical risk premium rather than a new energy conThe first week of every bull market always starts with a violent surge, making it impossible for most people to get in. It was like this in 2023 and also in 2019.
But the real chip filtering never happens with the first big weekly green candle; it’s the subsequent grinding sideways consolidation. The historical rhythm is very similar: first a sharp rally to confirm sentiment, then several weeks or even one to two months of chaotic oscillation, with altcoins and on-chain local hotspots rotating, while the main trend seems to be playing dead. Many people get shaken out during this phase by stop-hunting, handing over low positions, only to chase at higher prices when the next breakout comes.
This round with BTC, ETH, and SOL hasn’t deviated from this pattern. BTC is tangled at highs with gold and macro interest rate expectations, ETH is supported by ETF and on-chain staking narratives, SOL is propped up by ecosystem and meme/infrastructure capital rotation, but all are still digesting previous gains in the short term. The weekly structure isn’t broken; it’s just shifted from “blindly rising” to a phase of “watching chips and liquidity.”
My own approach: keep core base positions steady, trade small positions along with hotspots and volatility, no leverage or forced directional bets. The most costly thing in a bull market isn’t the pullback, it’s impatience. Wait for the shakeout to finish, and the trend will speak for itself.
#就业数据密集公布，沃什政策立场受检验 #BTC高位震荡，与黄金联动增强 What BTC finds most frustrating right now is not falling or rising, but that no one knows what it really wants to do next.
The market is grinding between 77,000 and 79,000. When it rises, ETF and futures bulls start talking about a reversal; when it falls, panic posts flood the screen. Yet after the wicks sweep, it still comes back. The short term fears this kind of "volatility without direction" the most, as leverage and sentiment get twisted back and forth.
But the grinding phase is often when information is repriced. Currently, macro factors like employment data and interest rate expectations weigh down, while on-chain and ETF funds have not formed a one-sided consensus, so BTC seems to be waiting for a catalyst. Neither bulls nor bears have truly conceded: the bulls focus on accumulating spot and holding long-term positions, the bears watch the dollar, U.S. bonds, and options hedges. No one dares to strike hard because a strong move can easily be counterattacked.
This sideways movement is not meaningless; it is exhausting the patience of those chasing rallies and sell-offs, and also filtering positions. The real breakout will either wait for liquidity or policy expectations to improve and funds to flow back; or for data to be tough and the dollar to remain strong, forcing floating chips out.
I don’t care much about a few hundred points moving back and forth intraday; I pay more attention to volume and spot attitude accompanying a range breakout. Without signals, don’t guess forcibly—save your bullets and wait for the market to reveal its hand. #就业数据密集公布，沃什政策立场受检验 #BTC高位震荡，与黄金联动增强 $BTC Total market cap is $2.62 trillion, down 3.84% in 24 hours; $BTC fell 1.95% to 77,321, $ETH dropped 2.41% to 2,416. The overall market decline is nearly twice that of the leaders, with altcoins bleeding separately, and BTC dominance hitting 59.07%.
External factor in Japan: The central bank governor ruled out further rate hikes, 5-year government bond yields rose to 2.275%, and the first to be cleared are always small caps without cash flow.
Unseen readings in the contract market: The most positive rates are all tokenized stocks and gold miners, GDX +0.18%, BABA +0.10%; the most negative are all old altcoins, ACE -0.67%, $TRX -0.18%. Bulls pay to hold shares, bears pay to short coins. $OP turnover is 61.67%, price moved only -0.08%.
In the next one to two weeks, if BTC dominance holds above 59%, the rebound will belong only to $BTC; if it falls below 58% and the overall market decline narrows to within 1.2 times that of BTC, that will be a signal for altcoins to recover. Views on the bull market
In the future, the gap between bull and bear markets will become smaller and smaller. For example, this bear market only dropped about 50%, so the bull market is destined not to multiply much, and expectations should be appropriately lowered.
Past bull and bear markets were driven by emotions, either excessive optimism or excessive pessimism. Future bull markets will be driven by capital, with Bitcoin ETFs and corporate treasuries dominating market fluctuations, and retail investors playing a smaller and smaller role.
The crypto market will mature like the US Nasdaq stock market, where only a few leading companies can sustain growth. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? $BTC $ETH $SOL The crypto market experienced intense volatility again in the early hours, with both Bitcoin and Ethereum losing key psychological support levels. Data shows Bitcoin fell below $77,000, down about 2.4% in 24 hours; Ethereum dipped below $2,400, down about 2.9%. This round of decline is not an isolated event but the result of multiple macro pressures releasing simultaneously overnight.
From the news perspective, the Federal Reserve Chair's hawkish remarks have clearly heightened market expectations for a rate hike in September, putting risk assets under immediate pressure. Meanwhile, signs of escalation in military conflict between the U.S. and Iran have emerged, causing oil prices to surge and Brent crude to return above $90, quickly spreading risk-off sentiment across global markets. The combination of these two forces directly lowered risk appetite.
Many investors wonder why sharp crashes always happen at midnight, which is closely related to the crypto market’s 24/7 continuous trading feature. When traditional markets like U.S. stocks are closed, liquidity significantly thins, and any sudden news is amplified, causing especially volatile price swings. This is the structural reason why sharp rises and falls often occur overnight.
In the short term, macro disturbances are still brewing, and market sentiment remains cautious. Investors are advised to closely monitor employment data trends and geopolitical developments, and manage positions prudently.

Please make decisions carefully based on your own risk tolerance. $BTC $ETHSuffered a -524% loss hit by $XAU gold, confused, I went to check and found out there's such a thing:
War usually benefits gold, but this time the market logic has a crucial change — the "inflation and interest rate hike expectations" brought by war temporarily outweigh the safe-haven demand.
Simply put:
1. War pushes up oil prices, but rising oil prices don't necessarily benefit gold
This time the Hormuz situation is tense, oil tankers attacked, crude oil surged.
The market immediately worries:
War → Oil price rise → Inflation rise → Fed may be more hawkish, even raise rates
And gold itself has no interest. As long as US Treasury yields rise and the dollar strengthens, funds will feel the opportunity cost of holding gold increases, so they sell gold.
2. Gold's biggest enemy now is not war, but "high interest rates"
Yesterday gold fell more than 2%, once dropping to about $4342. Reports show that rising US Treasury yields and a stronger dollar, combined with gold breaking key technical levels triggering technical selling, further amplified the decline.
So the current market logic is:
War benefits gold ❌
More accurately:
War → Safe-haven sentiment → Benefits gold
But at the same time
War → Oil price rise → Inflation → Rate hike expectations → Dollar/US Treasury yields rise → Negative for gold

#贝森特拟放宽银行信贷，高利率压力待解 At the end of the last cycle, I was not optimistic about $SOL. I still vividly remember a piece of data from back then: in November 2021, the price of SOL was $250, with a market cap of $73B; by September 2025, the price of SOL was still $250, but the market cap had risen to $135B. That's an outrageous inflation rate.
At the end of August, the SOL community just passed a proposal, which in short means: inflation will be acceleratedly reduced, starting from the first half of 2029, the annual inflation rate will become 1.5% and remain stable thereafter.
This round, I have started to be bullish on SOL, with a personal long-term target above $400. When a downtrend channel runs for a long time and the breakout volume significantly increases, the price rise could reach 1.5 to 2 times the height of the channel.
At the same time, I started a live trading account for SOL options, sharing the daily process of "picking small fish." SOL is the meme capital; if you don't have time to sit idle and no lottery luck, use options to catch some alpha.In the early morning, the US-Iran situation escalated again, and market risk sentiment cooled instantly. After the US launched a new round of strikes on Iran-related targets, Iran also sent a tough signal, and the market immediately began to reprice the Middle East situation. The most direct reaction was: $BTC briefly fell below $77,000, $ETH briefly fell below $2,400, and highly volatile assets like $XRP came under pressure simultaneously. This decline is not just the crypto market's own problem. Crude oil is the bigger variable. The latest news shows that the escalation of the US-Iran conflict has renewed market concerns about shipping risks in the Strait of Hormuz. Brent crude oil surged sharply, with the latest settlement price reaching $94.65 per barrel, up about 4.6% for the day; WTI reached $90.22 per barrel. After oil prices surged back to $90, the market's biggest concern was not just the war itself, but rather: rising energy prices→ renewed inflationary pressures→ Fed rate cut expectations affecting → risk assets under pressure. So this rapid BTC pullback is actually a typical example of "geopolitical risk + inflation expectations + risk aversion" appearing simultaneously. My position was directly taught 🤣 by the market this time. But this actually illustrates another truth: making a single short-term misjudgment is not scary; what's truly scary is one mistake that disrupts the entire account's rhythm. The market never follows a script. Being able to accept small trial and error and maintain enough risk margin is actually more important than demanding yourself to guess the right direction every time. Next, I will pay more attentionBesent hasn't been idle during this G20, simultaneously pressuring Japan to raise interest rates while relaxing banking regulations, handling both fronts.
Externally, at the G20 finance ministers' meeting, on August 30th he met with the Governor of the Bank of Japan, and on the 31st with the Finance Minister, directly stating that Japan should raise interest rates next. Even more aggressively, he said, "I have information the market doesn't," which immediately boosted expectations for a Bank of Japan rate hike in September. The yen is now hovering around the 160 mark, having previously fallen below it; after his remarks, the yen surged. Interestingly, the Japanese Finance Minister later downplayed the discussion, saying monetary policy wasn't discussed, while the U.S. side said it was—both sides have different accounts.
Domestically, he also signaled a relaxation of banking regulations. How exactly? By including the Federal Reserve's discount window lending capacity in liquidity rules, which could release $500 billion to $1 trillion in lending capacity. An additional $2.5 trillion in credit space has already been created, and capital requirements for small banks are also being lowered.
Looking at these two together: high interest rates are being pressed too hard; externally, stabilizing the exchange rate by pressuring Japan to raise rates to prevent yen collapse; internally, loosening credit so small businesses can get loans. In short, it's a way to bypass the Fed to ease conditions—not cutting rates but loosening regulations to release liquidity.
The market wasn't calm last night; news of the US-Iran conflict caused all three to be hit. Key levels: $XAU Gold near 4320, with strong support at 4290; $BTC hovering around 77000, if 76000 breaks, look to 75000; $ETH grinding near 2410, if 2380 breaks, look to 2350.
ADP at 8:15 tonight, data is dense this week, volatility won't be small. What do you all think? Why did Robinhood Chain (RH) suddenly become popular? Many people think it's a speculative craze, but the logic is probably the opposite: narrative brings speculation, not speculation dominating the narrative. RH has recently gone viral, but if you only think of it as another hot new chain, it's easy to misjudge the direction. What's even more worth studying is that Robinhood is doing something the crypto industry has always wanted to do, but traditional finance rarely actually steps in: moving stocks, ETFs, stablecoins, lending, and other financial products directly into an open on-chain infrastructure. RH officially launched its mainnet on July 1, with a very clear core positioning at the time: an L2 network serving financial products and RWA. In the past, the industry focused on tokenizing assets like US Treasuries and stocks. But what truly determines whether this market can grow is not just how many tokens are issued, but where transactions and settlements are settled after issuance, whether it can enter DeFi, and how different applications are combined. Robinhood's approach goes a step further: instead of launching a few stock tokens separately, it builds a chain dedicated to these assets, opening it up to third-party developers. Traditional crypto projects often build chains first and then find users, but Robinhood does the opposite. It already has a huge financial customer base and has been integrating on-chain products into its own system. This means RH's most important feature is not the TPS boom like Solana, but traffic inflowIn August, Bitcoin rose nearly 25% in a single month, marking one of the strongest monthly performances in recent years. But entering September, the macro environment clearly began to "put pressure" on risk assets. Currently, $BTC is still fluctuating around $77,000 to $79,000, with rising oil prices, strong US Treasury yields, and increased market bets on a Fed rate hike in September, causing short-term resistance for risk assets to increase significantly. The market even once pushed the probability of a September rate hike to about 66%. Meanwhile, Brent crude oil climbed back above $90, and macro trading is once again influencing the crypto market. But what really stands out is — while macro investors are calling for caution, institutional funds have not shown obvious withdrawal. On August 31, US spot BTC ETFs saw net inflows of about $217 million, with BlackRock IBIT attracting about $206 million in a single day, accounting for the majority of BTC ETF net inflows that day. Meanwhile: 🔵 $ETH ETFs maintained net inflows for 11 consecutive trading days; 🟣 $XRP ETFs saw inflows for 10 consecutive trading days; 🟢 $SOL ETFs also maintained positive inflows, with about $925,000 flowing in on the first trading day of the new month. So the current market is actually quite interesting: the macro environment is bearish, but institutional funds have not fully shifted to defensiveness. This is the real contradiction worth watching in September. My watchlist: 🟠 $BTC around $77,000 remains an important short-term defense zone$BTC US-Iran clashes, oil price breaks 90, crypto market bloodbath.
US military airstrikes near the Strait of Hormuz in Iran, Trump warns "a more intense strike is brewing." Iran retaliates by launching ballistic missiles at the US base in Jordan.
CL WTI crude oil soars to $90.22, up 5.2%. BZ Brent surges to $94.65, up 4.6%.
With oil prices soaring, inflation expectations explode. The 10-year US Treasury yield hits 4.79%, the dollar strengthens, and risk assets retreat across the board.
BTC drops to 77,000, down 2.4% in 24 hours, losing the 80,000 level. ETH falls below 2,400, down nearly 3%. The entire network liquidations total $239 million, with longs liquidated at $198 million.
ETF net inflows break a five-day streak, funds start flowing out.
Core logic: oil price → inflation → rate hike expectations. If oil prices don't fall back, risk assets will continue to take hits. This comparison really hits hard. On one side, traditional tech giants are experiencing a "V-shaped recovery" backed by solid orders, while on the other, the crypto market is scared into a "long-short double kill" by any bit of geopolitical news. Just checked the data; over $300 million liquidated in the past 24 hours—this volatility really makes you sweat.
To put it simply for $BTC, the market's "taste" has changed. The Fed is holding tight, and capital is searching for certainty and safety nets. Companies like SanDisk and Nvidia, with earnings, cash flow, and backing from major buyers, naturally serve as safe havens. Once there's any macro disturbance, liquidity in risky assets like Bitcoin withdraws faster than anyone else because for institutions, reducing high-beta assets first is an instinctive reaction.
From a technical perspective for $ETH, BTC slid down from 80k to around 77k where some buying appeared, but confidence at this level is clearly lacking—the on-chain data also shows that recent bottom-fishing short-term chips are turning over aggressively, all betting on an oversold rebound; no one wants to hold long-term. ETH is weaker; after breaking below 2400, the next strong support to watch might be in the 2200-2250 range. The rebound is on low volume, the decline on high volume—a typical weak structure.
The lesson from $SOL this round is straightforward: in a macro environment of tight balance, the market's patience for "stories" is limited, and the hunger for "numbers" is very real. Geopolitical friction is just the fuse; fundamentally, crypto assets need to develop stronger fundamentals and cannot rely solely on halving narratives and ETF expectations.
#CryptoMarketCorrection #LackOfFundamentalSupport On September 1, OKX announced that due to risk control reasons, it would delist its CORE on-chain Earn Coin product and redeem related funds early. Meanwhile, CORE DAO was recently exposed for abnormal validator rewards, Coinbase suspended CORE deposits and withdrawals, further fueling market concerns about supply and project risks. Shutting down Earn Coin≠ CORE was immediately delisted from spot trading, but this is definitely not a signal to ignore. I used to be a die-hard CORE fan; I didn't sell at $6.9, then recovered as it fell, thinking one day it could recover, even fantasizing it could rise to 5–15U. It wasn't until the price repeatedly fell below the issue price that I finally woke up. A single drop below this level can be considered a market downturn; repeated drops can't be explained by "faith" alone. What is most feared now is not how much it will fall in the short term, but the deterioration of liquidity, project fundamentals, and market confidence together. The biggest taboo in investing is not being willing to accept losses and ultimately reducing small losses to zero. Whether CORE can turn things around is up to the market to verify; But you still have to take responsibility for your own principal. ⚠️ Not bearish, just a reminder: don't let "faith" become a reason to trap yourself.BTC failed to hold above the 80,000 mark and is currently oscillating at high levels in the 77,000-78,000 range. Many people focus only on price fluctuations, but the real turning point lies in correlation changes. 📊 First, let's look at the liquidity side: BTC-ETF's nine-day net inflow trend officially ended on August 28, and institutional buying temporarily paused. An interesting contrast emerged: while institutional funds slowed, retail investor market activity surged to a nearly two-year high. The biggest suspense next: after institutions temporarily exit, whether retail investors and spot buyers can withstand selling pressure and stabilize the market is the most direct short-term indicator. 🔗 Now let's look at the more important structural changes: ✅ the linkage between BTC and gold is growing ❌ stronger. The correlation between BTC and Nasdaq continues to weaken. Previously, people assumed BTC was a high-risk tech asset, and when the Nasdaq fell, it would fall accordingly. Now, this old logic is failing. The market has already begun discussing that Bitcoin is moving out of its own independent market, gradually shifting from a "risk speculator" to a "digital gold." Why is this change? Geopolitical conflicts continue to escalate, expectations of Fed rate hikes are resurfacing, and both uncertainties are looming. Funds are making a long-term strategy: reassessing fiat currency credit and treating BTC and gold together as scarce hedge assets. This is not a short-term speculation for a day or two, but a systematic migration of funds. ⚠️ Of course, the underlying logic has changed≠ a unilateral upward trend. Macro turbulence will not disappear; short-term fluctuations and repeated shakeouts remain the norm. Don't let the long term go your wayWhy are $BTC and $ETH starting to decline slowly now? What are the macro factors? Currently, it is mainly due to the combined effects of macro pressure, profit-taking by funds, and leverage cooling down. First, the probability of the Federal Reserve raising interest rates has risen to 65%, which is very high. Second, ETF funds have started to flow out, indicating that institutions are beginning to lock in profits. Third, the rapid and large profit gains by bulls have caused the upward trend to turn into a sideways slow decline. Fourth, why is ETH's drop less obvious than BTC's? The capital efficiency causes ETH to be relatively resistant during the decline. Fifth, leveraged funds are being cleared out, and the current slow decline is gradually consuming market sentiment. My personal view is that this technical adjustment is a consolidation after the rise.The JOLTS report from the night before last doesn't seem to show anything major: 7.3 million job openings, with the BLS describing it as "little change." I'm more concerned about the 278,000 drop in hires.
July hires fell to 5.054 million, with the hiring rate dropping from 3.4% to 3.2%; about 3.1 million voluntary quits, with a quit rate of 1.9%. Meanwhile, June job openings were revised down by 177,000 to 7.2 million. Positions are still posted on hiring pages, but the actual speed of bringing people in has slowed. Professional and business services hiring dropped by 188,000 in a single month, and hiring rates at large companies are also declining.
This set of data supports a cooling in labor demand but is not enough to prove a sudden employment slowdown. JOLTS will be revised; job openings are a month-end stock, while hires are a flow over the entire month, so these two numbers should not be mixed to draw conclusions.
This morning BTC is around $77,300, down about 0.8% in 24 hours. I won't attribute this entire drop to JOLTS; I'll wait for Friday's nonfarm payrolls to complete the picture with employment, unemployment rate, and wages.

$BTC #就业数据密集公布，沃什政策立场受检验 The conflict between Iran and the United States continues to escalate, directly causing oil prices to rise. Currently, WTI is approaching $90, and Brent is also nearing $95. I completed my additional position yesterday; the next targets are to add more at WTI $91 and Brent $95.
Also, those shorting should definitely pay attention to margin requirements. $110 should be the minimum limit, and $120 is somewhat safer.
Today's decline in the US stock market and $BTC is mainly due to the escalation of the war. The focus now should be on two scenarios: one is Iran opening the Strait of Hormuz to certain countries, which would cause oil prices to fall; the other is the US and Iran resuming negotiations, which would also cause oil prices to fall. The latter is less likely, while the former becomes more probable as oil prices rise.
After all, Hormuz is not only about oil but also about food and fertilizer, and blocking Hormuz affects the entire world, not just the US.$CORE OKX Delists CORE On-Chain Earning Feature
Recently, many users have noticed that OKX has removed the on-chain earning entry for CORE. Many are confused about whether this means the token is being delisted. Here is a brief clarification of the situation and the signals it sends.
First, to be clear: this is not a delisting of CORE spot trading, nor has the deposit and withdrawal channel been closed. On-chain earning is a convenient entry provided by the exchange to help ordinary users participate in on-chain staking and earn rewards with one click. The platform acts as an intermediary channel, and the earnings come from the staking rewards of the public chain itself.
Exchanges regularly conduct risk control assessments on each token's on-chain earning feature. The evaluation criteria include token price volatility, project public opinion, contract security rumors, node stability, user participation risks, and more. Once the platform determines that the risk level has increased, it prioritizes removing high-risk assets from earning products, which is a common risk control practice among leading platforms.
This event sends several signals worth noting. First, the exchange has raised the risk rating for CORE and is no longer willing to provide a traffic entry point to guide users to stake. Second, it will reduce some of the newly added staking chips from the platform channels, which may have a short-term impact on market sentiment. Third, the native staking channels of the public chain remain available; those who want to participate in staking can go directly to the official on-chain channels, though they lose the convenience of one-click operation on the exchange.
A reminder to everyone: do not panic excessively, but also do not completely ignore the signals. Regardless of whether the exchange product is delisted or not, CORE itself experiences significant market volatility, and on-chain staking carries potential risks such as contract issues and penalties. $CORE When it rains, it pours.
CORE has consecutively exposed multiple incidents, with risk signals intensively released. Holders should stop self-deception.
Core DAO officials have confirmed a block reward over-issuance vulnerability, where a few validators can receive excess tokens. The project team can only urgently coordinate a hard fork to fix it.
There is a loophole in the underlying on-chain rules, posing a real risk of additional token issuance. The risk of dilution and value shrinkage of holdings truly exists, and no amount of rhetoric can cover up the fact that the underlying mechanism is flawed.
Exchanges have taken the lead in reacting, suspending on-chain earning of CORE tokens based on risk control. Staked funds will be automatically redeemed and withdrawn before 14:00 on September 2.
Deposit channels have also entered maintenance, temporarily disabling deposits. New capital inflow is blocked short-term, with service expected to resume at 11:00 on September 3.
Reward vulnerabilities, financial product withdrawals, and deposit shutdowns—three events happening in succession. A whole risk chain has formed, making it hard to attribute this purely to coincidence.
Many trapped investors are still comforting themselves that this is just routine maintenance, stubbornly holding positions waiting for a rebound to break even.
The market never pities luck; funds have already fled in advance, and the market has long signaled this.
Looking back at CORE’s journey, temporary protocol adjustments have long been the norm.
After rounds of depletion, the community’s remaining trust is already shattered.
Multiple risks are exposed simultaneously, and the buffer space is shrinking.
Whether you choose to hold on stubbornly or plan to bottom-fish, you must face reality: downside risks still exist, and the window for lucky trial-and-error is closing.The crypto circle is like a kitchen: the cook stirs, the cutter chops, and the watcher monitors the market.
At 3 AM, BTC dipped to 78,300, just 300 points away from wiping out my 77,787 short position. Floating loss over 400 USDT; what’s painful isn’t losing money, but the ETF’s net inflow for 8 consecutive days—2.8 billion USD in real money supporting below, someone is taking the other side.
Bitcoin oscillates around 78,600. Before the nonfarm payrolls, Wash turned hawkish, dropping from 81k to 76k in just two hours. Now the bulls are slowly clawing back; with 2.8 billion USD buying over 8 days, who dares to stubbornly hold shorts? Once it returns to the 77,787 cost, I’ll exit first, letting the short leader rest for a couple of days.
ZEC is even riskier to top out. After the spot ETF launch, capital enthusiasm hasn’t faded; if it drops, someone will grab it. The strong momentum logic is still alive; topping out means going against momentum, which is unnecessary.
CORE, on the other hand, wants to wait for a low. The BTCFi narrative centers on putting idle BTC to work for yield; when Bitcoin sentiment returns, its elasticity is greater than ordinary L1s. Waiting to see if 78,000 holds steady.
The 3 AM candlestick pierced the heart, missing a blowout by 300 points. Survived to come out; closing positions first before anything else.

#就业数据密集公布，沃什政策立场受检验 ETF funds are still flowing in — so why are $BTC and $ETH adjusting?
ETF demand remains strong, but short-term pressure is building. $BTC is around $77.8K, and $ETH is close to $2.45K.
Profit-taking, rising U.S. Treasury yields, higher oil prices, inflation concerns, and increased expectations of Fed rate hikes are weighing on risk assets.
The key point: ETF fund flows show structural demand, while the macro environment, liquidity, and leverage drive short-term volatility. The adjustment does not necessarily mean funds are flowing out of the crypto market. This time, 21 major Wall Street banks are jointly launching a US dollar stablecoin, which I think is much more important than simply issuing a new coin.
Goldman Sachs, Citi, Bank of America, UBS, and others are all involved, planning to launch in 2027.
To put it plainly, in the past, crypto was always thinking about how to get into Wall Street; now Wall Street itself is moving the US dollar onto the blockchain.
This means stablecoins might really transform from "crypto circle tools" into the foundation of global finance.
Moreover, what banks are really after isn’t just earning some fees from issuing a coin; the real value lies in the subsequent payments, settlements, and capital flows.
So I think in the next few years, the sectors of stablecoins, RWA, and cross-border payments might be the real main event.
The good days for USDT and USDC aren’t over yet, but the real competition may just be beginning. In the next 30 days, my outlook for BTC: wide-range oscillation (base case 60%) Alternative scenarios: first a pullback then oscillation (25%) / post-rate decision pulse surge (15%) Core reasons: Current price around 77,300–77,400. After rebounding from about 63,000 to 81,000 in August, it is digesting between 76,400–81,500, the structure remains, but the supply zone is clearly between 81,200–82,800. The events of 9/4 Nonfarm Payrolls, 9/11 CPI, and 9/15–16 FOMC overlap, with a relatively high probability of a rate hike (about 65%–68%), liquidity is tight, which does not support a "no pullback continuation"; meanwhile, the mid-term support after the August breakout has not been broken and it should not be treated as a unilateral bear market. Therefore, the main scenario for the month is a wide-range oscillation between 74,000–82,800, #OKX百万规划师
If you have 1 million U The most important change in the market today is: BTC has been oscillating at high levels for about 12 days, and may gradually approach an exit in the next couple of days. The overall direction remains unchanged; the current trend is still seen as the fourth wave consolidation within three waves, and after consolidation, the outlook remains bullish. BTC | Around 77K, 12-day consolidation approaching a critical stage BTC is currently pulling back to around 77,000. This round of high-level correction has lasted about 12 days, with repeated ups and downs, making short-term trading more challenging. The current major structural judgment remains: three waves rising → minor fourth wave oscillation → continuing bullish after completion After 12 days of consolidation, today's judgment is that the next day or two may be close to an exit direction. ⚠️ Short-term risk | Support cannot easily break below BTC minor levels Currently, a head-and-shoulders pattern has formed, so downside risk cannot be completely ignored in the short term. The ideal scenario is for the current upper support zone to hold, then end the upward consolidation. If this area is broken, since the next support is relatively far away, the downward correction may widen further. Currently, subjective judgment still leans toward holding above the upper range, but risk awareness should be maintained. BTC Strategy | Early buying can only be done in batches; if you are safe, wait for a breakout The biggest issue now is not the medium-term direction, but where to enter. Currently, this pullback can be broken down into an ABC structure, but whether wave C has ended or will continue to extend downward cannot be fully confirmed for now. Therefore, today I have proposed two strategies: early long → staggered betsCrypto Market Under Pressure from Rising US Treasury Yields: Short-Term Strain and Mid-Term Outlook
Recently, the 10-year US Treasury yield has been steadily climbing, hitting new highs for the phase. As the global asset pricing anchor, its fluctuations directly influence the sentiment and trends of all risk assets.
The market consensus is clear: inflation remains persistently high, making it difficult for the Federal Reserve to ease rates in the short term. Expectations of high interest rates and a relatively tight policy continue to strengthen. The crypto market, being most sensitive to macro interest rates, naturally bears the brunt of this pressure first and most directly.
Many don’t understand the transmission logic, but it’s actually very simple.
Rising risk-free yields on US Treasuries mean that funds placed in bond markets or money market funds can earn stable returns. In contrast, holding non-yielding risk assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum becomes significantly more costly.
This leads to a typical liquidity siphoning:
Institutional funds begin withdrawing from high-volatility sectors and flow back into fixed income markets. The recent large net inflows into global money market funds are the most direct evidence.
This is fully reflected in the market.
Overall trading volume continues to shrink, trading enthusiasm is low, Bitcoin futures basis keeps narrowing, and the momentum of active long positions is visibly declining.
From a short-term perspective over the next 24–72 hours, sentiment and liquidity will continue to dominate the market.
Until interest rate expectations cool down, BTC and ETH are likely to remain in a weak, oscillating pattern, persistently testing key support levels.
If US Treasury yields break above the 4.3% threshold, it will directly trigger a new round of market deleveraging and accelerate market shakeouts.
At that time, the critical supports at BTC 75000 and ETH 2300 will face real pressure tests.
Looking at the mid-term horizon of 1–2 weeks, the logic is clearer:
As long as US Treasury yields have not peaked and started to fall, the crypto market lacks a solid foundation for a meaningful rally.
Without macro easing expectations, all rebounds are merely corrections, and the overall trend will remain weak and oscillatory, repeatedly bottoming out until the Federal Reserve signals a clear dovish stance or inflation data substantially declines.
But there’s no need to be overly pessimistic.
Historically, the peak in US Treasury yields often marks the phase bottom for risk assets.
Every past cycle of rising rates and market valuation cuts has been a digging phase. In the 1–3 months following the confirmation of the rate turning point, Bitcoin’s recovery strength generally outperforms most other assets.
The current decline is a valuation correction driven by reshaped macro expectations, not a collapse of the industry fundamentals.
Therefore, from a mid- to long-term perspective, there’s no need to panic sell now.
The prudent approach is to keep sufficient cash, control leverage, and patiently wait for the interest rate turning point to materialize.
Before the macro environment clarifies, avoiding heavy positions, high-frequency trading, and maintaining controlled exposure while observing is the best trading strategy.
In summary, rising interest rates are fundamentally reshaping global asset pricing logic. The crypto market cannot remain immune in the short term; pressure and oscillation are the norm.
However, every macro reshuffle is a process of filtering quality assets.
Once interest rate expectations stabilize completely, assets with real ecosystems, consensus capital, and value support will surely lead an independent recovery rally.
$BTC $ETH #就业数据密集公布，沃什政策立场受检验 #BTC高位震荡，与黄金联动增强 $XRP This round of rally has a clear contrast. From August 17 to 31, XRP rose from about $0.99 to $1.38, nearly 40%. However, during the same period, total open interest in futures dropped from about 2.77 billion to 2.34 billion, a decrease of about 16%. In other words, while prices are rising, the overall market leverage is actually decreasing. 1. Crypto exchanges reduce leverage, but CME's share rises During the same period, XRP open interest on CME rose from about 284 million to 387 million, an increase of about 36%. CME's share of total XRP futures open interest also rose from about 10% to about 17%. This shows that this rally did not mean all markets were leveraging simultaneously. On the contrary, holdings on crypto-native exchanges are declining, while regulated CME exposure is increasing. 2. The trader structure of XRP may be changing. CME itself is increasingly used by professional trading firms and asset management institutions. Therefore, the rising proportion of CME derivatives at least indicates that XRP derivatives trading is increasingly entering traditional regulated markets. However, this does not directly equate to "institutions are broadly bullish." Because different types of professional funds have different directions; some are going long, while others are still shorting. 3. This round of rally may not be ordinary leverage-driven Previous crypto market rallies often accompanied by exchange leverage expansion. This time, however: XRP price rises → total leverage decreases→ crypto exchange holdings decrease, → CME exposure increases.Geopolitical conflicts combined with interest rate hike expectations create a high-level oscillation and game window
Today, the crypto market surged and then retreated, with BTC repeatedly oscillating between 77500 and 78800, and ETH following the fluctuations synchronously. The market is jointly dominated by three main themes: Middle East geopolitical risks, Federal Reserve rate hike expectations, and leveraged position games.
On the price front, BTC recently returned near 78750, with total market capitalization rebounding to 2.74 trillion, and ETH holding steady around 2473. U.S. stocks closed lower across the board overnight, but August still ended with gains: Dow up 1.4% for the month, S&P about 2.4%, Nasdaq about 3.5%. The stock market and crypto assets showed intraday divergence, with BTC overall showing relative resilience, gaining about 23% in August, outperforming most risk assets. $BTC $ETH ETF MONEY IS STILL FLOWING — SO WHY ARE $BTC AND $ETH CORRECTING?

$DOGE shows a bullish reading from both the entire and top accounts, but the top position size is conversely bearish, indicating the two metrics are still in conflict. Price and positions are falling in sync, so this phase is treated as a reduction-driven decline. Until the top position ratio returns above 1, the bullish account advantage remains an incomplete consensus.
$XAU account direction is bullish, while top positions are bearish; the side with more participants is temporarily not the side with heavier top positions. Price fell over 15 minutes while open interest increased, meaning market pressure has not eased with the price drop. If price continues to strengthen but the top position ratio remains below 1, this divergence has not truly closed.
$SUI shows no alignment among the three metrics, indicating market sentiment has not formed a complete consensus. Price drops with position reductions, so risk exposure is contracting and cannot be directly interpreted as new short positions. Currently, only disagreement can be confirmed; trading direction requires a second layer of evidence from positions and price.
