Recently, when looking at SanDisk, I've developed a fixed routine:
Open the market data, feel like it's rising too fast;
Close the software, tell myself to wait for a pullback;
After a while, I can't help but open it again to see if it has risen further.
AI servers need not only chips but also massive data storage. As long as AI infrastructure continues to expand, NAND demand will be supported; this logic isn't complicated. The hard part is that the market has also understood this, and the stock price has already run far ahead.
SanDisk also happens to have strong cyclical characteristics.
When demand is strong, prices rise, and profits improve, everything seems smooth; but once the industry expands production, inventory rises, or prices loosen, the market can turn quickly. Buying in now means purchasing not just company growth but also a judgment on how long this storage boom can last.
So every time I’m about to act quickly, I hesitate again.
The fear of missing out is real, and so is the fear of buying in at the peak of excitement.
SanDisk now feels like a car that has already driven very far. I know it might keep going forward, but jumping on while it's speeding definitely takes some courage.
For now, I'll keep it on my watchlist.
Some money missed is regrettable, but rushing in just to avoid regret usually makes it harder to sleep. $SNDK #闪迪MSCI调仓生效，NAND估值受关注 $6.16B of weekly DEX volume against just $725M of TVL looks impressive, but I'm watching what people are actually trading. Stock-paired memes have now beaten tokenized-stock volume for four straight days. That makes Robinhood Chain's growth harder to label as an RWA breakout just yet.
Speculation can bootstrap liquidity and users, but durability comes when capital stays for real financial products. The next milestone isn't more volume. It's proving that tokenized assets. #RobinhoodChainSurge Recently, I came across a video of Li Shanglong discussing the Ye Junde fall incident. In it, he talked about private keys and freedom. The gist is: keeping a private key in your mind is not freedom, but isolation; If you hold the private key in your own hands, others can't intervene, which means others can't help you; A person who remembers the private key is like a walking safe in the eyes of bad people—priing open a person is much easier than opening a bank. He also mentioned that the original intention of cryptocurrency is to return control of wealth from banks and governments to individuals. This ideal is wonderful, but when ownership returns to individuals, the risks also return to individuals. Authority takes away your freedom, and authority backs you up. These words sound reasonable on their own. But after watching them, I kept feeling something was off. Thinking carefully, I found he linked private keys, Bitcoin, and freedom, and explained Ye Junde's case as "the price of freedom." Ye Junde's case is still unconclusive. Was it an accident, suicide, or homicide? The local investigation is ongoing. Online claims that he was kidnapped and interrogated about private keys are just speculation. Let's take a step back and consider the worst-case scenario: suppose he was kidnapped, and the other party pressured him for money, ultimately causing him to fall from a building. Even so, the kidnappers targeted him not because of the private key, but because of money. A few days ago, I watched "Empty Gun." The movie tells the story of Zhang Ziqiang kidnapping a wealthy man in the 1990s. The kidnappers kidnapped the tycoon because he had money. In the end, they also wanted cash; the family went to the bank to withdraw the money and handed it over to the kidnappers. No one would get cash just because the kidnappers took cash📊 Overall: The market is down, altcoins are "splitting" Bitcoin dropped to around 77,300, Ethereum to 2,416, SOL fell below 100. But the total crypto market cap dropped 3.84%, nearly twice Bitcoin's decline (1.95%)—altcoins are bleeding separately. Bitcoin's market cap dominance is as high as 59.07%. The altcoin season index is only 28, far from the 75 threshold. 🚀 Gainers: FIL and UNI lead the charge FIL rose 14.6% to $0.79; UNI rose 10.9% to $6, catalyzed by a surge in RWA trading volume on Robinhood Chain; CRV up 9.36%; PYTH up 7.33%; AR up 7.17%. 📉 Losers: Old altcoins collectively tank XRP down 2.4%, SOL down 3.1%, TRX down 2.6%, DOGE down 2%. Meme sector down over 3%. The most negative funding rates are all old altcoins, indicating shorts are concentrated. Japanese listed company Remixpoint liquidated all altcoins, shifting to only invest in Bitcoin. 🔍 Two abnormal signals One is high turnover with low volatility: OP turnover 61% only down 0.08%, ARB turnover 58% down 2.36%—indicating existing funds are rotating without new money coming in. The second is Japan's rate hike expectation: The Bank of Japan governor hinted at continued rate hikes, the world's cheapest money is getting more expensive, and altcoins are the first to be cleared out. 💎 Summary Today's truth about altcoins is: a few with real narratives are rising (FIL storage,The US military directly bombed Iranian oil tankers! The "tanker for tanker" policy is officially implemented, and the market needs to reprice.
This time it's not just a simple blockade, but a direct retaliatory strike. The Strait of Hormuz is once again thrust into the spotlight.
My judgment is simple: in the short term, oil prices will most likely surge first, while risk assets will come under pressure.
🛢️ Oil prices: geopolitical risks + shipping disruptions, risk premiums will continue to rise.
₿ BTC: Don't rush to bottom-fish in the short term; funds will most likely flow first to gold and the US dollar.
But if oil prices continue to rise later and inflation expectations re-emerge, BTC may first fall and then follow the "digital gold" logic.
What we really need to watch is not how many ships were bombed this time, but whether Iran will continue to retaliate against shipping.
If the Strait of Hormuz is truly blocked long-term, this won't be a one-time pulse but could be a new round of Middle East risk spiral.
What do you think: will oil prices break 100 first, or will BTC rebound first? $BTC $CL

1. Why Dell's performance exceeded expectations
Dell (DELL) this quarter's earnings report greatly exceeded Wall Street expectations:
• Core driver: AI servers exploded, AI server revenue doubled year-over-year, backlog orders reached $95 billion, future revenue certainty is very strong.
• Revenue and net profit significantly exceeded analyst estimates, with after-hours stock price rising.
• Pain point: Dell management repeatedly mentioned in the conference call the tight supply of DRAM memory and HBM storage; upstream storage chips are the bottleneck restricting further volume growth of Dell servers.
Dell is a downstream AI computing power system integrator: responsible for assembling chips and memory into AI servers sold to cloud providers and enterprises.
Dell's strong earnings indirectly confirm that global AI capital expenditure remains highly prosperous.
2. What does "Broadcom and Snowflake take over" mean
• Broadcom (AVGO): upstream AI chips, custom AI chips, high-speed switching chips; Google, Meta, OpenAI purchase large quantities of Broadcom ASIC chips, regarded by the market as the second largest AI chip beneficiary after NVIDIA. Dell servers extensively use Broadcom network switching chips.
• Snowflake: cloud data warehouse, AI application layer; AI large models require massive data storage, analysis, and processing; represents AI application-end companies.
Dell's (AI server system integrator) strong earnings confirm hardware demand; next, the market will look at upstream chip Broadcom and software-side Snowflake earnings reports to confirm that the AI industry chain prosperity can transmit upward and downward.SOL 24h Trend
Solana was at $100.37 this morning, down 3.47% in 24 hours, weaker than the top two.
The 4-hour MA5 has been pressing down continuously, with the price hugging the moving average, not even allowing a decent rebound.
At 02:27 AM on Hyperliquid, a $1.75 million SOL long position was liquidated, marking the largest single liquidation of SOL today.
The community is voting on a governance proposal for SOL, suggesting a reduction in issuance; the long-term narrative remains intact.
However, poor short-term liquidity has always been its weakness; it’s always the first to get hit when altcoins fall.
The next support is at $96; breaking this means this rebound is completely over.
SOL’s fundamentals are actually improving: on-chain active addresses, DEX trading volume, and stablecoin settlements are all top-tier. The problem lies in the token distribution—early investors and unlocked tokens are suppressing the price.
Governance reducing issuance is a step in the right direction, but distant help can’t solve immediate problems; in the short term, it still depends on the overall market sentiment.
If Firedancer’s parallelization upgrade lands as scheduled, throughput could increase by another magnitude, which is the biggest mid-term expectation gap for SOL. The current drop is making room for that catalyst.
Do you think SOL can still catch up, or is it completely falling behind this round? Share your judgment in the comments.
$SOL #CryptoMarket #Today’sMarketBTC 24h Trend
Bitcoin returned to $77,204 this morning, down 2.01% in the past day.
Last night, the 4-hour MA20 at 78,703 became a ceiling; bulls tried to break through twice but failed to hold, and volume did not keep up.
More noteworthy is BlackRock's IBIT—its first single-day net outflow since May, with the ETF channel seeing net outflows for the fourth consecutive day, evaporating $1.3 billion.
Institutional money is not withdrawing but observing. Real withdrawal means dumping, while observing means waiting for the right position; these two are fundamentally different.
The next technical support is at 76,200; if broken, it’s not sideways movement but a step down.
Currently, more people hold positions than are observing, but the volume of observing funds is larger than that of holders—indicating the real big money has not yet acted.
Many interpret ETF net outflows as bearish, but I see it as a buildup. Chips are moving from short-term traders back to long-term institutions, which is actually beneficial for the market structure going forward.
US Treasury yields haven’t pushed higher these days, and the dollar hasn’t strengthened; macro factors haven’t added extra pressure on BTC. The drop mainly reflects on-exchange sentiment and leverage.
On-chain data also supports this: long-term holder addresses are still slowly accumulating, exchange balances remain low, and selling pressure mainly comes from derivatives rather than spot.
In this round, are you reducing your position at 78K, or waiting for a rebound to exit? Explain your logic in the comments.
$BTC #CryptoMarket #Today’sMarketThe crypto industry is bidding farewell to "air coins," with about 15 mainstream projects
(such as Solana, Ethena, Polygon)
driving token economic reforms, with core directions:
1. Inflation suppression / hard cap setting (public chains):
Solana accelerates inflation reduction, NEAR halves the inflation cap, Aptos sets a supply hard cap.
2. Revenue buyback and burn (application layer):
Using protocol revenue to buy back and burn tokens, Hyperliquid and pump.fun account for nearly 90% of this year's buybacks.
3. Unlock optimization:
Releasing tokens early or slowing release speed to reduce selling pressure.
4. Real income staking:
Changing staking rewards from issuance to real business revenue.
Buybacks have reached nearly $640 million this year, but buybacks ≠ price increase.
The real key is whether protocol revenue can sustain growth.
Future token value evaluation standards will shift from "how many tokens are issued"
to "how much money is earned, how it is distributed, and whether it is sustainable,"
and the Meme track, which cannot provide real income,
will face uncertainty about its future.

#Robinhood链上放量，币股Meme引争议 Symbiotic TVL
Symbiotic's locked value today surpassed $1.5 billion, rising 23.55% over 30 days.
The restaking sector has maintained its narrative throughout this year, and Symbiotic is the most recognized project by the market after EigenLayer.
It follows a different technical approach than EigenLayer, not requiring node operators to stake independently, which offers greater scalability.
Currently, it has over 60 partner projects covering mainnets and L2s, with real capital flowing in.
But a reminder: the core risk of restaking is node slashing—if the underlying validator nodes have issues, losses will cascade upward.
This is not the next meme coin; it is an evolution at the DeFi protocol layer.
Why is capital willing to pour money into this sector at the end of a bear market? Because restaking turns idle staked assets into composable productivity, which is the biggest leverage point for the ETH ecosystem going forward.
Short-term TVL growth is fast and includes some inflation from incentive mining, so don’t get carried away by the numbers alone.
More importantly is the tokenomics: the release schedule of Symbiotic’s native token and whether early investors have massive unlocks directly determine if entering now means taking the bag or positioning for the future. A good protocol doesn’t necessarily mean the token is worth buying now.
Do you believe in this sector? Will you hold long-term or wait for a pullback to enter? Share your thoughts in the comments.
#Symbiotic $SYMB #DeFi #PotentialProject Unlike the positive accumulation attitude shown on-chain, the derivatives market remains mostly on the sidelines.
We know that short liquidations are the direct cause of OI shrinkage. However, when the price hovered between 77,000 and 80,000 for two weeks, the OI stayed around 440,000 to 455,000 contracts with no signs of replenishment.
The price rose by 25%, theoretically making shorting more cost-effective; but those who dared to short at 62,000 are now hesitant at 78,000. The reasonable explanation is that "shorts have been scared off."
Longs also have not chased. If this wave were a trend reversal, the normal reaction would be for OI to rise along with the price while funding rates remain positive.
Now with OI stagnant, it indicates that most people still classify this wave as a short squeeze, not a trend reversal. They are either waiting for a pullback or simply not participating.
From the perspective of judging the cycle bottom, a rebound driven by leverage clearing and spot buying is indeed a common feature of bottom structures. But currently, neither longs nor shorts above are willing to make the first move, reflecting a cautious sentiment in the derivatives market: waiting and watching.
Additionally, the ELR (leverage ratio) has returned to around 0.26, a two-year low. This means there is little leverage left in the market to be liquidated.
The risk of a chain reaction of liquidations in the short term is very low, and it is unlikely to see violent leverage-driven fluctuations either way.
Perhaps the market is waiting for guidance from the next macro event.24H Liquidation Data
Over the past 24 hours, the total contract liquidations across the network exceeded $130 million.
Sixty percent of the liquidations were long positions.
This means that when the market moves downward, those betting on a rebound get wiped out more severely.
Binance saw a single ETH long position liquidation of $11.9 million at midnight, the largest single liquidation of the day. BTC also had $1.73 million in long positions liquidated on Hyperliquid, and SOL was not spared either.
The Fear and Greed Index dropped to 26 today, indicating the market sentiment has entered extreme fear.
Usually, at this level, the cleaner the long liquidations, the faster the rebound—but no one can predict the exact bottom.
Liquidation data is a lagging indicator, but it reflects leverage crowding. Now that 60% of longs have been cleared, it shows that optimistic positions in the market have been significantly reduced.
Conversely, this signals a release of short-side pressure. This is not a call to bottom-fish, but a caution not to follow the crowd and get liquidated at the lowest point during extreme fear.
Compared to history, a single-day liquidation of $130 million is moderate for a bull market correction, far from the panic peaks of over $1 billion, indicating this deleveraging wave is relatively restrained.
Are you currently lightly watching, or have you already exited your positions? Share your strategy.
#LiquidationData #ContractMarket #CryptoMarket #TodayMarketRedemptions from cryptocurrency funds are ebbing, but incremental capital has not fully recovered yet.
EPFR data shows that global cryptocurrency funds had a net inflow of about $1.5 billion in the latest week, marking one of the stronger capital return weeks this year.
The situation was completely opposite in the previous months. From May to July, cryptocurrency funds faced continuous large-scale redemptions, and the cumulative capital flow over the past 12 months dropped rapidly from a net inflow of about $6 billion in April to a net outflow of about $3 billion in June.
In recent weeks, capital has flowed back, and the cumulative net outflow has basically been filled. The pressure from continuous redemptions, passive position reductions, and sales of crypto assets on the fund side has significantly eased compared to two months ago.
However, the cumulative capital flow over the past 12 months is still hovering around zero, and the capital flow ratio calculated by asset management scale is also close to zero. Therefore, the latest inflow of $1.5 billion mainly serves to repair the gap left in previous months and has not yet formed a large-scale new buying force.
This remains relatively positive for the crypto market, especially for $BTC. Fund capital was dragging the market down in previous months, but selling pressure has gradually subsided now. If net inflows can be maintained for several consecutive weeks, investor funds are likely to shift from selling to buying.
However, if capital quickly turns negative again, this week's $1.5 billion might just be low-level replenishment, position rebalancing, or a one-time subscription. After all, I have mentioned many times before that there was a large amount of buying around Bitcoin at $60,000, and it still needs to be observed after the rapid rise close to $80,000.
Additionally, EPFR statistics cover global cryptocurrency funds, and the overall capital volume is larger than that of the US Bitcoin spot ETF.Don't just sigh over Ethereum's inflation: you might not even understand who L2 is really working for
Recently, there have been many bearish voices about Ethereum, with the main criticism being: after the Cancun upgrade, Gas fees plummeted, the mainnet is no longer deflationary, and even has a slight annual inflation above 0.5%, leading many to believe the "supersonic money" narrative is shattered.
But many overlook a business common sense: any infrastructure aiming to grow big cannot survive by charging users expensive tolls.
Previously, Ethereum Gas fees often cost tens of dollars; on the surface, burning and destroying tokens looked great, but in reality, it forced many high-frequency applications and ordinary users away. Now, L2 indeed offloads the mainnet's transfer fees, but after bundling hundreds of thousands of low-value transactions, it still ultimately returns to the Ethereum mainnet for tamper-proof secure settlement.
This is like Ethereum transforming from a "crowded and expensive pedestrian street" into the "global financial kitchen and central bank clearing desk."
As long as entities like BlackRock BUIDL, tokenized US Treasuries, massive stablecoins, and leading L2s still treat the mainnet as an irreplaceable credit foundation, depositing hundreds of billions of dollars in asset trust annually, that slight inflation is nothing to worry about.
The ultimate moat of a public chain has never been "burning itself to keep warm," but the irreplaceability of ecological settlement.
#非农前数据分化，9月加息预期升温 ARB at $0.12, are you chasing it?
First, look at the surface: two big bullish candles, retail investors shouting "bulls returning fast."
On August 31, ARB surged from 0.084 with a record-breaking bullish candle to 0.109, a single-day increase of over 30%. On September 1, it continued to rise to 0.119. 24-hour trading volume exploded, open interest soared, and the whole market was shouting: Arbitrum is finally taking off!
First thing: Robinhood Chain is real money, not just empty talk.
Robinhood built its own dedicated chain based on Arbitrum Orbit. After launch, daily fee revenue reached $1.9-2.13 million, DEX trading volume exceeded $1.4 billion, earning more than Arbitrum One itself.
The key point: 10% of Orbit chain’s net income flows back to the Arbitrum ecosystem—8% to the DAO treasury, 2% to the developer guild. This brings tens of thousands of dollars in real daily income to the ecosystem, amounting to tens of millions annually.
Previously, L2s were "burning money to acquire users," now Arbitrum runs a "rent-collecting" model. Technology licensing plus revenue sharing—this is the first time an L2 has proven it’s not a money-losing asset.
Second thing: September 16, countdown to the 92.63 million token unlock bomb.
On September 16, about 92.63 million ARB tokens will unlock, released linearly by the team and investors, worth approximately $9-10.5 million, accounting for 1.3-1.4% of circulating market cap.
Sounds small? But you should know the ARB unlock schedule continues until 2027, with new tokens hitting the market every month.
Third thing: technical overbought, funding rates soaring.
Daily chart shows a volume breakout from the 0.075-0.10 range, RSI is near 70 in the overbought zone. Open interest is surging—indicating heavy leverage inflows and crowded longs.
0.10-0.105 is the upper boundary of the breakout box, now a critical support level. If it doesn’t hold, a drop back to 0.10 or even 0.095 is possible.
Bull vs. bear showdown, judge for yourself:
On one side:
Robinhood Chain daily revenue over $2 million, real value capture
Orbit chain’s revenue-sharing model is working, L2 finally "collecting rent"
ArbOS 61 upgrade benefits institutional deployment
Weekly gains 13-22%, monthly gains 37-40%, trend turning bullish
On the other side:
September 16 unlock of 92.63 million tokens hitting the market
Unlock schedule continues until 2027, structural selling pressure
RSI overbought, open interest too high, crowded longs
0.12 level has been a top every time since last year
ARB token’s capture of protocol revenue remains indirect, not going into its own pocket
Resistance above: 0.119-0.12 (psychological barrier) → 0.125 → 0.14
Support below: 0.108-0.105 (breakout level) → 0.10 (box lower boundary) → 0.092-0.095 (strong bottom)
Trading strategy:
Short-term traders:
Mainly wait and see. If it holds above 0.12 with volume, and pullbacks don’t break support, try light longs targeting 0.125-0.13, stop loss at 0.112. If it breaks 0.108 with volume, exit immediately, watch 0.10 below.
Swing traders:
Wait for a pullback to 0.105-0.10 range to accumulate in batches, stop loss at 0.092, target previous highs 0.119-0.125, if breakout then look at 0.14. Reduce positions on September 14-15, observe capital absorption on unlock day before deciding.
Risk control rules:
Position size no more than 3-5% of account, leverage within 3-5x
Watch if Robinhood Chain fees can maintain high levels
Watch for large transfers on unlock day
If BTC falls below 76,000, don’t hold ARB
This ARB surge is just the first test of the L2 "rent-collecting narrative"—
99% of people see a 37% rise and think it will reverse, forgetting 90 million tokens are waiting on September 16.
The day 0.12 fails to hold, you’ll realize:
It’s not that ARB is bad, it’s that you always chase at the hottest news.
What is your ARB cost?
What will you do on the September 16 unlock day?

Dell's earnings report is another heavy blow.
Last week, NVIDIA told you that GPUs sold well; this week, Dell tells you that after GPUs are sold, they are indeed installed in servers and shipped to data centers. The demand for AI hardware is expanding downstream from the chip level. This is not just storytelling; it's real orders piling up.
This news impacts the crypto world on two levels.
First, the narrative is spreading. NVIDIA proved that chips are selling well, and Dell proves that servers are also moving in sync. AI infrastructure is not just a GPU party; the entire chain from chips to servers to storage is growing. For crypto AI tracks and DePIN projects, this confirmation is an indirect positive.
Second, the transmission of risk appetite. Dell's earnings rose 6.51% after hours, and the profitability quality of the tech sector is being continuously validated. As long as tech stock sentiment holds steady, crypto, as a high-beta asset, will have its own narrative space.
Here’s my view. Dell's earnings report is more grounded than NVIDIA's—NVIDIA sells chips, Dell sells complete machines, the latter being closer to the end output of infrastructure. Demand has penetrated from the silicon level to the physical level and is accelerating.
The real variable this week is Friday's nonfarm payroll data; Dell represents a long-term narrative, while nonfarm data determines the short-term direction.
What do you think?
$BTC $ETH Non-farm payrolls will be announced this Friday, and next Monday is the US Labor Day, so the US stock market will be closed for one day, effectively resulting in three consecutive days of trading halt. The volatility will mainly concentrate on the night after tomorrow, combined with Jackson Hole's somewhat hawkish remarks. This data will directly rewrite the September interest rate pricing, with the probability of a rate hike already close to 70%.
Currently, it is in a recovery phase after a high-level pullback, inherently under correction pressure. Non-farm payrolls are just a catalyst and cannot unilaterally change the structure.
Given the amplified volatility the day after tomorrow, from a mid-term perspective, short near the 80k rebound on the upside, and wait to go long near 75k on the downside. Prepare your positions in advance.$BTC ETF inflows reached 200 million in one day, but 95% was bought by IBIT alone. Is this bottom support stable?
Many people only look at the net inflow numbers of ETFs and ignore the capital structure. On August 31, the total market ETF net inflow was about 217 million USD, which looks good, right? But if you break it down, you'll understand: BlackRock's IBIT alone contributed 205.9 million, accounting for 95% of that day's share. Other funds combined only added a few million, and VanEck actually had an outflow of 13.4 million.
What does this mean? It means not all market institutions are buying together; IBIT is solely supporting the bottom. This structure is more fragile than a "broad inflow" — if IBIT stops one day and other funds don't pick up, the price will easily fluctuate. But from another perspective, IBIT, as a flagship product, is still continuously buying, indicating that long-term allocation hasn't left and real demand remains.
Looking at the entire month of August: ETF net inflows were about 3 to 3.5 billion USD, the strongest month since October 2025. This is not a one- or two-day pulse but a month of sustained buying.
A common problem for many retail investors is: they hesitate when ETF inflows are strong, chase after the price rises, and panic when there's a slight pullback. My approach is simple: look at the ETF capital structure. IBIT supporting the bottom shows real demand, but the high concentration is a warning. Wait for more funds to join and for the capital structure to become healthy before increasing your position. For now, just observe and don't chase the highs.Nowadays, everyone says AI is the Fourth Industrial Revolution. ChatGPT can write copy, Codex can write code, and models can draw, make videos, and read financial reports. Of course, these things have improved efficiency, and I use them every day. But if you compare them to steam engines or electricity, what AI changes more is information processing, and it's still some distance from transforming the entire production process. Marx mentioned in 'Capital': 'The simple elements of the labor process are: purposeful activity or labor itself, the object of labor and the means of labor.' He explained the means of labor as follows: 'The means of labor are the objects or composite of things placed by the worker between themselves and the object of labor, used to transmit their activities to the object of labor.' If today's AI is placed within this framework, it is closer to a new means of labor—that is, the tool placed between the person and the object of work. But now, most of the "labor objects" it encounters are still text and code in computers. AI helps us process these things faster, but the final judgment, the responsibility for results, and the people who bring work into real processes still need people to oversee the final checks. Although this is already productivity improvement, it mainly happens in the digital world. If AI really wants to transform production on a large scale like the steam engine and electricity, it will have to continue moving outward. It will encounter steel, fabric, cardboard boxes, roads, and machines, and learn to move, grab, assemble, and transport in the real world. This step is what we often talk about nowadays, physical AI. Why mold?Don't scare yourself, the market just yawned
Early in the morning, cries of "the sky is falling" echoed down the hallway. I quickly checked the market, thinking some black swan event had occurred.
The result? This?
$BTC Bitcoin did hover around $76,400, and last night $78,000 was as fragile as paper—once broken, it broke through, not even $77,000 could hold it back. But at most, this is just a decent pullback, still miles away from a "collapse."
$ETH Ethereum is quite interesting, showing strong resistance around $2,380, like a compressed spring. It has now bounced back to $2,410, indicating that the buying pressure below is not weak. This movement likely means a second bottom test confirming support.
In the short term, $2,450 and $2,490 are like two small hills above, while around $2,360 is a short-term bottom line. As for that $TRUMP coin, at $2.24, it's stuck awkwardly between up and down. Without clear signals, I choose to sit back and watch, not taking long or short positions to avoid getting slapped back and forth.
Don't shout collapse at every drop; the market just took a cold shower to wake up.
#非农前数据分化，9月加息预期升温 #BTC高位回落，黄金联动受考验 ⚠️ $BTC & $ETH : Pullback or Bigger Breakdown?
BTC and ETH are both under short-term pressure, with BTC around $77.5K and ETH near $2.42K.

Technically, BTC needs to reclaim $80K, while ETH must hold the $2,400 area to keep the recovery structure intact.

Just now, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard confirmed that two oil tankers were attacked by mines in the Strait of Hormuz and have stopped sailing. This is no small matter; Hormuz is a major global oil artery, with one-third of the world's crude oil passing through here last year.
Once the news broke, Brent crude oil surged above $94. When oil prices rise, inflation expectations heat up, and the probability of a Fed rate hike in September jumped directly to 57%. The US dollar strengthened, US Treasury yields soared, and risk assets all collapsed.
Bitcoin $BTC plunged from a high of $79,166 to $76,762, Ethereum fell below 2400, with $115 million long positions liquidated in one hour. The Meme sector was even worse, dropping more than 3%.
Tycoons' view: This time it’s not just a pure flight to safety, but inflation logic at work. Bitcoin was not bought as a safe haven in this wave; instead, it was smashed as a risk asset. Interestingly, SOL and ETH fell three times more than BTC, with funds concentrating on Bitcoin for safer refuge.
What should retail investors do? Don’t rush to bottom-fish. Watch two signals: whether oil prices can hold above 90, and whether the US military will continue to strike Iran. Until the situation clarifies, keep your hands off and save your ammunition.

The second round of airstrikes within three days. He wrote on Truth Social: If Iran retaliates, this country will be left with almost nothing.
At noon on September 1st Eastern Time, the Central Command fired at targets of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps: Qeshm Island, Abbas Port, Chabahar, Lavan Island, and even explosions were reported at the Assaluyeh natural gas hub. Iran retaliated by launching heavy ballistic missiles at the US military base in Aqaba Bay, Jordan, and claimed to have shot down an MQ-9. The US military has rerouted 84 commercial ships to cooperate with the blockade.
The market reaction is reflected in oil prices: WTI closed at $90.22, up 5.20%, Brent at $94.65, up 4.60%, intraday surged to $96.70, and European natural gas hit a new high for 2023.
My judgment: This is no longer a market that can be explained by "risk-off sentiment." Oil prices rise → inflation expectations rise → Fed has stronger reasons to raise rates → risk assets get valuation cuts. This chain is the real bear case for $BTC; the Middle East is just the trigger finger.
Watch Qatar's mediation closely, and also watch whether the phrase "poised to strike" is deterrence or a warning. #霍尔木兹风险升温，能源通胀受关注 Japan's 10-year bond yield breaks 3%, making me even more hesitant to chase altcoins
Many people are currently waiting for “BTC to stabilize, then capital rotates to SOL/ETH,” but today's data makes me hit the brakes first.
Japan's 10-year government bond yield has surpassed 3% for the first time since 1996; the 2-year yield has also risen to its highest level since 1995. More importantly, Kazuo Ueda clearly stated that the #NFPTestsSeptHikeOdds #RobinhoodChainRWAvsMemes #DellAIServerBeat 🔥 EVERYONE IS WATCHING BTC – BUT GOLD + OIL + BONDS ARE GIVING IMPORTANT SIGNALS, AND MEME 🐸 MAY BE MISREADING THE MARKET? There's something I find quite interesting. Whenever Bitcoin moves... many people only look at: ₿ BTC Chart. But in my opinion... BTC is usually the result. Not the cause. To know Bitcoin's next move... I look at three other markets first: 🟡 GOLD 🛢️ OIL 💣 BONDS These are the three "storytellers" I think the market is ignoring. ⸻ 💣 BTC OFTEN FOLLOWS MACROAfter Bitcoin's daily chart rally, it has entered a nearly two-week range consolidation, with volatility gradually narrowing and a clear increase in bullish and bearish divergence. On one side, some are calling for a bull market return, while on the other, bets are placed on another drop.
Comparing with historical bull market start conditions, there was no long-term negative funding rate before this rise, and the bottom lacked sufficient accumulation and minimal volume process, making the pattern significantly different from previous beginnings. Therefore, there is no need to rush to label this as a major bull market; wait for structural confirmation before entering. The later potential remains large, so there is no need to worry excessively about missing out.
Currently, in the narrow-range oscillation, the bullish and bearish battle is intense. The first breakout is most likely a false breakout and can be tested for participation. Key observations: if it breaks down and quickly recovers, consider going long; if it breaks up and then falls back, consider going short. Short-term support is seen at 75600, where a large number of long stop-loss orders are concentrated, making it the most important reference point at present.
$BTC $ETH $SNDK #非农前数据分化，9月加息预期升温 #BTC高位回落，黄金联动受考验 #Robinhood链上放量，币股Meme引争议 The market pricing for a 25bp rate hike by the Federal Reserve in September has risen sharply to 68%, compared to less than 40% a week ago, signaling a clearly hawkish macro outlook.
There are three main drivers behind this rapid upward revision of expectations:
First, the Middle East geopolitical conflict has pushed oil prices up, with Brent crude nearing $95 per barrel. Rising energy prices will again bring upward inflationary pressure, squeezing the Federal Reserve's room for monetary policy easing.
Second, Federal Reserve officials have collectively issued tough statements. Governor Michael Barr publicly stated that if inflation does not effectively decline, he supports further rate hikes; previously, Chair Kevin Warsh also emphasized the need to push inflation back down to the 2% target.
Third, the US Treasury market has reacted first, with the 10-year Treasury yield approaching 4.8%, simultaneously strengthening the US dollar. Higher financing costs will suppress global risk asset valuations, putting liquidity pressure on both the stock market and cryptocurrencies.
Precious metals have already priced in the negative impact first; under the dual effect of rising rate hike expectations and a stronger dollar, gold prices have fallen to a three-week low. $BTC $ETH $SOL #非农前数据分化，9月加息预期升温 🟢 FED INJECTING $4.243 BILLION TODAY! 💵🚀

$BTC $QQQ $SPY #NFPTestsSeptHikeOdds #SECMarketModernization Is Apple about to change its playstyle?
Cook has been at it for 15 years, turning Apple into a finely tuned money-making machine.
But the problems have become increasingly obvious: money is being made, but new innovations are becoming scarcer.
If you look closely, you'll see.
In recent years, Apple's strongest points have been supply chain, cost control, financial reports, and buybacks.
Cook is great at these, but when it comes to AI and next-generation hardware, the AI aspect is indeed quite awkward.
They even have to borrow AI models from Google, which is embarrassing.
So pushing a veteran engineer with over 20 years in hardware to the forefront sends a very clear signal:
Cook is good at defending the kingdom, but Apple now wants to take a new gamble.
And this time, the bet is not just on AI.
Apple's real trump card should still be hardware.
AI integrated into the iPhone.
AI integrated into chips.
AI integrated into glasses.
Even a completely different next-generation terminal.
On the path of large AI models, Apple will find it hard to directly beat Google and Microsoft.
But if AI is directly made part of Apple hardware, then that's a whole different game.
This is also what the board is most anxious about right now:
Apple can't just be good at making money; it has to tell a new story that excites the market.
Because what capital fears most is never a company making a little less money.
It's that you have no story for the future. You need a story to attract people, to tell a bigger narrative, like Musk does.
Cook's generation has actually done a very good job.
They turned Apple from a great product company into the world's most terrifyingToday's market situation is clearly different from last night. As of now, BTC is trading in the $77,000–77,600 range, showing a significant pullback from the August high; ETH is around $2,400, SOL around $160, with altcoins overall noticeably weaker than BTC. Data from the morning of September 2 shows that BTC, ETH, XRP, and SOL all experienced varying degrees of decline, with SOL's drop significantly exceeding BTC's. A larger macro change is: the US-Iran conflict has escalated again, oil prices have broken through $90, US Treasury yields continue to rise, the dollar index has climbed to about 99.8, and global risk assets are simultaneously under pressure. Reuters reported today that Asian stock markets generally fell, the 10-year US Treasury yield briefly rose to 4.812%, and Brent crude oil rose to around $95. Therefore, today's altcoin market cannot continue to be treated with the logic of "BTC pullback equals altcoin buying opportunity." What we really need to find now is: BTC pullback → who resists the drop → who leads in volume → who can independently rally apart from BTC.

The market's first reaction: "More than half recovered, the project handled it well." But I stared at the word "recovered" for a long time, and the more I looked, the more something felt off. "Recovered" implies these tokens had once escaped control. But what if they never truly left? This is the most important question in this news: Were the 237 million destroyed tokens really "recovered," or were they "never lost" in the first place? Change the subject to "those 237 million tokens that were never lost." If the subject is "Fogo official," the story is "professional damage control." If the subject is "token holders," the story is "shared responsibility." But if the subject is those 237 million frozen tokens that never truly entered circulation, the whole narrative collapses. What is the status of these tokens? The official says "recovered." But the usual way to recover tokens is only one: freezing them on centralized exchanges or on-chain addresses. That means from the moment they were stolen, these tokens never really left the range of control. They were not "recovered." They were "allowed to stay in place." What's the difference? The difference is: if these tokens never entered free circulation from the start, the hacker never had the ability to liquidate them. For these tokens, the theft was never completed. They are not a "loss," but an "attempted theft." And the project packaged an "attempted theft" as a "victory of recovering more than half," then removed them from the supply. 400 million minus 2#贝森特拟放宽银行信贷，高利率压力待解
During the G20 Finance Ministers meeting, Basent publicly stated the intention to promote looser financial regulation for small banks. The core reform is to include banks' borrowing limits at the Federal Reserve's discount window in liquidity assessments—meaning banks don't need to hold as many high-liquidity assets themselves and can borrow from the Fed when short on cash. The goal is to release $500 billion to $1 trillion in credit space. Basent said this could "unlock hundreds of billions of dollars" to support small business loans and household credit. Major beneficiaries include Bank of America, U.S. Bank, Truist, and First Capital Financial.
Why push this now? The 30-year U.S. Treasury yield once surged to 5.34%, with $40 trillion in debt weighing heavily. Banks want to lend but are constrained by liquidity regulations and can't lend out; businesses want to borrow but rates are too high to afford. Basent aims to use an administrative measure to simultaneously relieve both sides' constraints.
This operation bypasses the Fed's interest rate decisions, but whether it can truly lower long-term yields remains uncertain. Whether banks use the extra credit space to lend or continue hoarding Treasuries will determine the policy's actual effect. The direction is toward loosening, but the transmission chain is very long.ETH ETF has seen net inflows for 11 consecutive days, so why hasn't the price taken off directly?
The US spot ETH ETF has had net inflows for 11 trading days in a row, accumulating about $1.6 billion in this round.
On the latest day, another $87.68 million flowed in, with BlackRock's ETHA product alone taking about $59.9 million.
This indicates that institutional buying is not just a short-term sentiment but a continuous allocation.
However, ETH is still around $2470 and hasn't surged directly due to the 11 consecutive inflows.
The reason is simple: $1.6 billion is not enough to independently cause a supply squeeze for ETH, which has a market cap close to $300 billion. Also, ETH has already risen about 30% in the past two weeks, so part of the ETF's positive impact has already been priced in.
Another point worth noting: ETF funds are strong, but spot trading volume hasn't exploded correspondingly. Funds are flowing in, but the price is stuck near $2500, indicating that profit-taking and trapped positions are still selling above.
Next, watch two levels.
Holding near $2400 means this round of capital support is still in place; breaking through $2500–$2560 again means continuous ETF inflows could further translate into a price breakout.
Conversely, if ETF inflows start to slow significantly and ETH can't break above $2500, the market should beware of "funds look good, but the price has already been overextended."
So, the 11 consecutive inflows are generally positive, but the key going forward is whether ETH can continue to rise as ETFs keep buying. $ETH Everyone knows $DELL's earnings report is excellent, like your ex's ideal investment target, so no time is wasted here.
This time, it triggered two major investment banks to issue completely opposite ratings, creating a highly insightful valuation contradiction:
Morgan Stanley is only willing to assign a 14x P/E ratio because they believe the current profit margin expansion comes from passing on high-priced components and inventory timing differences. Once the supply chain normalizes, the margin space will shrink, facing a cyclical downturn in FY29.
J.P. Morgan, on the other hand, believes Dell has successfully transformed into a leading enterprise-level AI infrastructure provider, enjoying a home-field advantage in enterprise deployment, and thus deserves a high valuation premium of 20x.
🔴 How does the market view this?
Despite the stock price surging significantly after hours, from the probability pricing in the derivatives market, smart money has not fully adopted J.P. Morgan's optimistic scenario but instead leans toward Morgan Stanley's cautious tone.
Options market probability distribution:
The probability of the stock price breaking above $499 (Morgan Stanley's target price) is only about 20%.
The probability of the stock price falling below $299 is as high as 39%.
Traders are buying deep out-of-the-money puts to hedge against the risk of "all good news priced in" or long-term valuation downgrades.
The market's expectation for FY27 has been indisputably exceeded; the current pricing battlefield has completely shifted to whether FY28–FY29 can maintain a 20x P/E ratio. Any future single-quarter delivery delays or any signal in guidance indicating a peak and decline in profit margins will trigger multiple compression and a bull market stampede.When war-driven safe-haven logic meets inflation and rate hike logic
On September 1, the U.S. military launched a new round of airstrikes targeting the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps around the southern Strait of Hormuz in Iran. Trump posted on social media that if Iran retaliates, there will be "more intense, higher-level" strikes. After a month, the U.S. and Iran engaged in direct conflict again.
According to the traditional script, escalation of geopolitical conflict → safe-haven buying → gold surges. But this time, the market reaction was completely different: Brent crude oil returned above $90, briefly breaking $91 intraday; spot gold fell below $4300, closing down 2.7% for the day, dropping over $300 in the past week.
The battle between these two logic lines is clear. The struggle for control of the Strait of Hormuz is both a key reason for the U.S. military's renewed strikes and likely the main battlefield for repeated clashes. The sharp rise in oil prices pushes up energy inflation expectations, combined with Fed Chair Walsh's earlier hawkish speech at Jackson Hole, the market quickly shifted from pricing in "rate cuts" to pricing in "rate hikes." Global bonds were sold off, yields soared, the dollar strengthened, and gold remained under continuous pressure amid multiple headwinds.
The market is often not simply about "rising" or "falling," but a battleground of multiple logics. Trading safe havens yesterday, trading inflation today — recognizing this is more important than guessing the direction. 🫡$BTC $ETH $ZEC #非农前数据分化，9月加息预期升温 #Robinhood链上放量，币股Meme引争议 #财报观察员：戴尔业绩超预期，博通雪花接棒 The non-farm payroll data is about to be released, and I've observed a very obvious change—the market trading logic is no longer the same.
I've reviewed it myself, and now the Federal Reserve is focusing on just two core things: new employment numbers and average hourly wages.
First scenario: employment slows down moderately, and wages also decrease. This is the most comfortable situation, with rising expectations for rate cuts, US Treasury yields falling, and ETH, as a highly elastic asset, rebounding more strongly than BTC.
Second scenario: employment weakens, but wages remain stubbornly high. This is the most frustrating; the tail of inflation hasn't been shaken off, so rate cuts will have to be postponed.
Third scenario: employment data surprisingly comes in strong. The scary stories about rate hikes will resurface, risk assets will generally come under pressure, and ETH will fall much harder than BTC.
I've noticed that the mainstream institutional approach in the options market is to keep holding spot base positions while buying some put options for protection, but no one is massively shorting naked.
Regarding asset types, I've made my own distinctions: $BTC increasingly resembles a digital reserve asset, showing significantly stronger resilience in bearish environments; $ETH still follows global risk appetite, with greater volatility and weaker offensive and defensive characteristics.
So my strategy is simple: before the non-farm data comes out, reduce leveraged positions as needed and avoid heavy bets on direction prematurely. It's not too late to follow the trend once the data lands and the market gives a clear direction.

#财报观察员：戴尔业绩超预期，博通雪花接棒 The core argument can be tightened to retain the logical chain of "War → Inflation → Interest Rates → Liquidity → BTC Decline":
After the US airstrike on Iran, the market gave a lesson to the idea that "Bitcoin is digital gold."
On September 1, the US-Iran conflict escalated, and Brent crude oil surged as much as 4.6%, breaking through $94. But Bitcoin did not rise as a safe haven; instead, it fell from around $79,000 to a low of $76,760, and gold also dropped more than 2%.
The reason is actually simple: the market is not worried about the war itself, but about the inflation caused by the war.
Oil price rise → Inflation expectations heat up → Rate cut expectations cool down → US Treasury yields rise → US dollar strengthens → Global liquidity under pressure.
Therefore, the funds truly flowing into "safe-haven assets" are still the US dollar and US Treasuries, not BTC.
This also shows that Bitcoin currently acts more like a barometer of liquidity rather than a traditional safe-haven asset.
War does not necessarily benefit BTC; the key is whether the war ultimately changes liquidity or inflation. $BTC $ETH $SNDK #非农前数据分化，9月加息预期升温 #BTC高位回落，黄金联动受考验 #霍尔木兹风险升温，能源通胀受关注 The Queen's Gambit left an endgame in the summer of '96. Today, the Japanese 10-year government bond yield hit 3.01%—that's not just a number, it's the bishop in the 37th move, biting the opponent's weak f7 pawn. Everyone stared at this "highest price point" for three seconds, but the grandmaster sees: the 1996 chessboard has yet to be settled, the 30-year long bond at 4.18% is pressing on the old endgame's a-file, and the international metals market knows this is a fierce battle of opposite-colored bishops; a seasoned player doesn't count pieces but counts the speed of pawn chain advances.
London, New York, Frankfurt, all chess clocks tick simultaneously. The peak is not just Tokyo's story but a triple chain problem on the main board. The small bishop of US Treasury yields jumps, pulling the British pound and German long bonds—the global capital is making a long repositioning, but the king's wing and rook are stuck in a stalemate on the secondary baseline. The global bond market is entering the most dangerous open-line tussle of the midgame: inflation is the crossing pawn, the deficit is the double rooks, and the supply-side structural mismatch is the queen without squares hanging eternally in the center of the board. Every yield probe is a mild piece exchange warning.
On the board, the yen carry trade is a Sicilian Najdorf variation. Low-interest yen is like the chained pawns on the queenside, supporting tens of billions in risk asset structures. Now Japan's 30-year interest rate breaks through 4.18%—that pawn has advanced to the seventh rank. The instant the yen opponent suddenly appreciates, countless carry positions will be forced to sacrifice half a piece to reclaim the king's castle; overseas allocations, the dollar index, and US Treasury durations all surge and fluctuate in the same ocean. If the Bank of Japan's rate hike forecast is confirmed, it's like the opponent preemptively playing Nf7+ before the endgame—the dollar, Treasury bills, gold, Bitcoin, stocks, the entire continent's king's wing pawn formation shatters instantly.
This is what true international chess thinking must see: BTC, stocks, gold, the dollar—they are not isolated games but a midgame unresolved on a global central bank-supported chessboard. $xAAPL is the queen at the center of the board being restrained—it essentially mirrors the leading tech assets in the US stock market. When you see it rush to one side, it's not its own will but the entire board under pressure.
All winds point to a deeper structural weak square, a link without a chess manual—the global long-term yield curve is compressing all risk asset durations into shorter time controls. A true international chess grandmaster doesn't seek safety in every move but calculates the endgame's outline in every pawn structure. Yet you never know, in some high-interest endgame, whether the opponent is hiding a pair of sacrificed bishops quietly waiting to deliver the final checkmate on e5. #jgb10ytops3%$UNITREE dropped from 87 to 80, is the valuation bubble "popping"?!
Unitree has steadily declined from a high of 87.47 to 80.93, with MACD showing a bearish crossover below zero, Bollinger Bands opening downward, and technical indicators all bearish. This is not just a pullback but a brutal process of valuation correction.
Why bearish?
Analyzed from three aspects:
First, revenue growth plummeted from 300% to 48%, with net profit excluding non-recurring items declining, showing revenue growth without profit growth.
Second, a massive amount of low-cost shares will be unlocked in 2027, creating huge institutional selling pressure.
Third, Zhiyuan Robotics' shipment volume has surpassed Unitree's, indicating Unitree's commercialization is lagging.
How to position? Catching a falling knife now is just giving away money! For those not yet in, don’t act until the third-quarter net profit growth returns to 30%; for those trapped, strictly control your position and avoid blindly averaging down.
#Robinhood链上放量，币股Meme引争议 This blueprint is labeled "Dollar Stablecoin," but the concrete grade, rebar spacing, and core tube position are all blank. Don't talk to me about renderings; I'm the one reviewing the drawings.
Twenty-one "established construction firms"—including several of the world's top ten contractors—have announced plans to form a joint project department in the second half of 2026 and start construction in early 2027. It sounds like an industry earthquake. But to me, this is just moving from the "blueprint stage" to the "plan refinement stage." The documents they issued don't even include geological survey reports: the reserve structure is the foundation, the governance framework is the frame beam, and the compliance path is the construction permit. Everything is currently marked "subject to final approval."
So, for us designers, what we really need to look at isn't the elevation rendering, but what they are using as the "load-bearing wall." USDT and USDC are two supertall buildings that have already topped out and have their glass curtain walls lit up. Their biggest advantage isn't their design but their deep pile foundations. USDT has been an irreplaceable "cargo terminal" on the global payment route for many years, while USDC is a "standard component" cast in the compliant soil of North America.
Now that bank capital is entering, what do they hold? Not a better white paper, but a wider "municipal pipeline"—cross-border payment channels are highway ramps, and corporate settlement networks are underground utility corridors. The sales channels that traditional finance has built over decades are "existing road systems" that crypto-native projects find hard to replicate. But there is a fatal construction challenge here: on which plot of land are you building?
If the "GENIUS Act" and "MiCA" are two different national versions of the "building seismic code," then starting construction on two plots with the same blueprint would get the structural engineer sent back by the review center for rework. Wholesale and retail are two load-bearing systems; cross-border clearing and digital asset custody are two different stress models. Design misalignment leads to cracks later.
I noticed a market quote anomaly called $xDELL, as if someone on the construction site heard the pile-driving early and rushed to buy nearby building material futures. But noise doesn't change the stress analysis. The core of the current game is whether the "bank coin" building can solve a fundamental mechanical problem: how to face the twin towers—USDT's global liquidity and USDC's compliance trust—already operating for years next door when the foundation hasn't been disclosed and the cement hasn't arrived.
A more fundamental hidden risk is that many of these 21 contractors are competitors. Who will be the general contractor for the joint construction? Who exercises the "design representative" authority on the blueprint? Internal approval processes at each firm cause schedule delays worldwide; now coordinating to complete a full blueprint means coordination meetings might be longer than the construction calendar.
There's an old saying in construction: buildings on paper are always taller than buildings on the ground. For these financial giants, the purpose of announcements is often not about the foundation but the wind direction. As long as they haven't handed over the structural calculation book, it means the load hasn't been applied, and the column grid hasn't been set.
TradFi's fleet is docked at the port, the cargo holds are full—but the anchors haven't been dropped.
Foundation not poured, blueprint not unveiled, the construction team is just having a coffee at the door. #TradFiStablecoinAlliance Data Divergence Before Nonfarm Payrolls, September Rate Hike Expectations Heat Up
Nonfarm payrolls haven't been released yet, but the market is already showing clear divergence.
On one side, employment demand hasn't completely collapsed: July JOLTS job openings rose to 7.271 million, higher than the previous value; layoffs remain relatively low. 
On the other side, hiring momentum is clearly weak: July hiring fell by 278,000, and leading indicators like ADP have not shown strong employment expansion. 
This creates the most troublesome situation now:
Jobs still exist, but companies are reluctant to hire.
Why are September rate hike expectations heating up instead?
The core reason is no longer the employment data itself, but that Waller has shifted the policy focus back to inflation.
After Jackson Hole, the market's pricing for a September rate hike has quickly risen from about 33% to around 66%, even reaching about 70% at one point. 
In other words, the market's current logic is:
Employment hasn't clearly collapsed
•
Inflation remains elevated
•
Waller clearly emphasizes price stability
=
The Fed still has room to tighten policy.
So the importance of this nonfarm payrolls report is further amplified.
But the real danger is a "strong nonfarm"
If on Friday we see:
Nonfarm significantly above expectations + unemployment rate declines + wages strengthen again
Then the market will believe the labor market remains resilient enough.
At that time:
Probability of September rate hike ↑
→ 2-year Treasury yields ↑
→ US dollar ↑
→ BTC, gold, and other assets come under pressure.
Especially BTC, which is currently in a high-level consolidation phase; if macro expectations suddenly turn hawkish, a rapid pullback is very likely.
Conversely, what if nonfarm is weak?
If:
Nonfarm below expectations + unemployment rate rises + wages cool down
Then the question arises:
Does the Fed still need to continue raising rates when employment is starting to deteriorate?
This would directly weaken Waller's current hawkish framework.
Therefore, I believe a weak nonfarm doesn't necessarily mean BTC will surge immediately, but it will clearly reduce September rate hike expectations and provide liquidity support for risk assets.
What deserves the most attention now is actually the "data combination"
Don't just focus on the nonfarm payroll number.
I will focus on:
① Nonfarm employment number
② Unemployment rate
③ Average hourly earnings
④ Whether previous values are significantly revised
Especially the fourth point.
If the nonfarm looks good on the surface but previous months' data are significantly revised downward, the market may still believe employment is cooling.
Currently, the market's expectation for August nonfarm is only about 50,000–60,000, and July nonfarm had already recorded a decrease of 23,000, so this data itself is based on a relatively low base. 
Regarding BTC, I now tend to understand it this way:
Before nonfarm: it's not advisable to bet unilaterally in advance.
Because the current macro environment is:
Employment data is weak, but inflation pressure remains; Waller is hawkish, but final policy still depends on data.
Therefore, the real market movement on Friday may not be decided by "whether nonfarm is good or bad," but by:
Actual data vs market expectations
If the data is strong enough to make the market further believe in a September rate hike, BTC's high-level pressure will clearly increase.
If the data is weak enough to make the market question the rate hike logic again, the macro factors suppressing BTC earlier may quickly ease.
In short: the biggest contradiction now is not "whether US employment is strong," but that employment is cooling but not yet weak enough to force the Fed to abandon its hawkish stance. Nonfarm payrolls are the tipping point in this game—strong data may turn September rate hike expectations into consensus, while weak data may make the market bet on a policy pivot again. #非农前数据分化，9月加息预期升温 $BTC Goldman Sachs, Citibank, Deutsche Bank, and 21 other giants join forces to launch a stablecoin—are the good days of USDT and USDC over?
Including Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Citibank, Deutsche Bank, UBS, and 21 major global banks have announced plans to establish a joint company in the second half of 2026 and launch a US dollar stablecoin in the first half of 2027.
These 21 institutions hold the world's top payment networks, banking client channels, and compliance capabilities. The project also plans to target cross-border payments, digital asset settlement, wholesale, institutional, and retail clients, while complying with the US GENIUS Act and the EU MiCA regulations.
My judgment: The short-term impact on USDT/USDC is limited—the liquidity network effect is not so easily broken. But in the long run, this represents a "systemic incorporation" of crypto by traditional finance.
If bank-grade stablecoins can truly run cross-border payments and corporate settlements, USDT's "offshore dollar" moat will be gradually eroded. Moreover, with 21 institutions jointly issuing the coin, regulatory resistance will be much less than that faced by a single institution.
The key question is: Are the banks just looking to take a share of the pie, or do they really want to disrupt their own clearing systems? If they only treat stablecoins as "dollar deposits on the blockchain," then it’s just a compliant version of USDC. But if they truly embed stablecoins into cross-border clearing and settlement layers—that would be a genuine paradigm shift.
The time left for USDT and USDC may not be much.

Now September has opened with a completely different macro environment. $BTC is still holding around the $77K–$78K area, but rising oil prices, higher Treasury yields and growing expectations for a September Fed hike are creating a serious headwind for risk assets. The interesting part? Capital is still flowing into crypto. Spot Bitcoin ETFs pulled roughly $216.7M on August 31, while Ether ETFs extended their posRight from the start, BTC has already been on a roller coaster. From the high of $81,000 in the last week of August, it has pulled back all the way to around $77,000. As of September 2, BTC was oscillating between $76,000 and $78,000, with market sentiment gradually cooling from frenzy. The gains in August were indeed astonishing. BTC recorded about a 25% increase in August, the third strongest August performance in history, behind only 65.6% in 2017 and 30.7% in 2013. More importantly, this was the first time since 2021 that BTC closed higher in August. However, a well-worn question immediately emerged! Will the September curse play out as expected? Historical data shows that September was one of BTC's worst months in history, with average returns between -3% and -4%. Dow Jones Market Data's statistical criteria are slightly different: since 2014, BTC's average decline in September has been about 2.2%, also the weakest month of the year. But this data has a clear flaw: BTC's full trading history is only a little over a decade, and the market structure in 2014 and 2026 are completely different. The weights of spot ETFs, institutional funds, the options market, and macro liquidity have all undergone qualitative changes. Using seasonal patterns from over a decade ago to fit the 2026 market is itself debatable. A more meaningful question than obsessing over the September curse is: Does the underlying logic behind this August rally still exist? August 19, US Treasury$ETH Today's Operation Guide
Ether has been generally declining intraday, continuously weakening and repeatedly breaking below the key 2400 level. Currently, it is in a high-level pullback and recovery phase, with intraday fluctuations near 2383. Short-term pressure is evident, but the monthly chart still shows significant gains, and the overall trend has not deteriorated.
The pullback is mainly due to macroeconomic bearish factors and rapid provocations by the Trump figure. The Federal Reserve's rate hike expectations have intensified, causing market panic and triggering chip sell-offs, leading to a continuous price decline. Overall, this drop is a healthy deep correction. Going forward, Wolf still remains bullish! $BTC
Operation strategy: Buy near 2410, set defense at support levels, take profit around 2458! #比特币ETF买家回归 #非农前数据分化，9月加息预期升温 Japan currently still maintains a loose monetary environment, but plans to continue raising interest rates. In essence, this round of rate hikes in Japan is in coordination with and supports the US monetary policy, and the possibility of Japan raising rates in the coming months continues to increase.
The most critical point is that during the previous policy gap period, crude oil prices did not drop at all. Coupled with the recent impact of localized short-term military conflicts, oil prices have risen again, bringing considerable pressure and challenges to the overall market.
As the probability of Japan raising rates increases, the cryptocurrency market is currently under overall pressure and showing a weak trend. Only a signal of rate cuts can reverse the current short-term downward pressure. However, even if the market rebounds, the upside space is very limited, and the key level of 82,000 is basically difficult to break through.
If the market situation remains as it is, the market will most likely correct about half of the previous gains, with a bottom around 70,000. This is what was mentioned before: the current bull market is very unstable. Overall, this week the market will be dominated by bears, showing a downward trend.
Additionally, to judge the trend of rate hikes or cuts, the focus can be on the movement of gold. Since Wash made related remarks, gold has fallen for three consecutive days, which has already sent a clear signal that the short-term rebound strength of gold will be weak, making it difficult to see a strong upward trend.$BTC has lost $3000 in three days, tearing off the "digital gold" label with its own hands.
72 hours ago, it was still at 80,000, today it has dropped to 76,000. This is not a bear market coming, but Bitcoin's identity being exposed on the spot.
The trigger was the US military striking Iran again at noon on September 1st, causing BTC to hit a low of 76,420 and ETH to fall below 2400. But what’s really worth mentioning is that gold simultaneously dropped 2.35% and silver 2.86%. Safe-haven assets were collectively hit, indicating this is not money moving to safety, but everyone selling off assets that can be immediately liquidated at the same time. BTC has the deepest liquidity and 24-hour trading, so it was the first to be hit.
The market is actually not that panicked: the total liquidations across the network are only $54.51 million, open interest contracts of 53.7 billion barely moved, and the funding rate at 0.0043% is far below the 0.01% benchmark. The sell-off is driven by spot panic selling, not leveraged cascading liquidations.
I think there might be bearish trends recently, but don’t rush; first, let’s see if the ships in the Strait of Hormuz can pass. Of course, if you are a long-term investor, the difference between entering at 70,000 and 80,000 isn’t that big — what matters is that you bought. Will the Bitcoin network collapse when all coins are mined by 2140 and no one mines anymore? This is the biggest misunderstanding about Satoshi Nakamoto.
Many new investors, upon hearing that the total supply of Bitcoin is only 21 million and that the block reward halves every 4 years, raise a classic concern: when the block reward eventually drops to zero, miners will have no profit and shut down, so won't the BTC network instantly collapse?
But Satoshi Nakamoto clearly outlined the evolution of the security model in the whitepaper:
Bitcoin's security system is designed to smoothly transition from being "subsidy (block reward) dominated" to "fee dominated."
With the booming development of the Bitcoin ecosystem, the demand for inscriptions, runes, BTC staking, and layer-two network settlements has surged. During multiple network congestion cycles, transaction fees have repeatedly exceeded 50% of miners' total revenue.
Moreover, even in extreme cases where some miners shut down and leave, Bitcoin's unique "Difficulty Adjustment" mechanism will adaptively lower mining difficulty within two weeks, allowing the remaining miners to continue profiting. The so-called "hashrate death spiral" will never happen.
Bitcoin's security has never relied on infinitely expanding hashrate; it depends on a sophisticated game-theoretic economic closed loop.
BTC's moat is not the hashrate itself but the adaptive mechanism that no single force can destroy.
