Recently, public opinion about Sun Yuchen has heated up again, spreading from Chinese communities all the way overseas. For TRX holders, this atmosphere is not very comfortable, because the market's emotional reaction to projects closely tied to founders often outpaces fundamental changes. TRX is currently priced around $0.34, which is not a low level but a relatively high level recently. With prices at high levels and accumulating public pressure, this combination naturally tends to amplify volatility. Some people have started trading early to shorten TRX with small positions, arguing that the risk-reward ratio is now leaning toward the bears. This logic is not complicated. In TRX's pricing, Sun Yuchen's personal influence has always been very important; both brand effect and market appeal are deeply tied to the project. When the founder's public opinion environment worsens, the market usually adjusts prices first rather than waiting for fundamentals to respond. This pattern of "sentiment leading first" has repeatedly appeared in the crypto market. However, it should be made clear that TRON's fundamentals have not significantly deteriorated. The TRX ETF application is still underway, indicating that institutional narratives have not been interrupted by recent controversies. So this is more like a short-term sentiment trading than a long-term bearish logic. Short sellers themselves emphasize that if the event calms down quickly, they will exit immediately and hold light positions. This trading approach actually reflects the mindset of a type of market participant: not betting on the outcome of events, only trading emotional fluctuations during the event's fermentation. Using comparison🚨 MRVL BEAT THE NUMBERS — SO WHY DID THE STOCK DROP 8%?
Marvell just delivered a strong quarter:
📈 Revenue: +37% YoY
🏢 Data Center: +46%
🚀 FY27/FY28 outlook: Raised
And yet, $MRVL still fell nearly 8% pre-market.
What’s even more interesting? $SNDK, $MU and $WDC also moved lower, while AI heavyweights like $NVDA and $AVGO stayed relatively steady.
📌 The message from the market may be changing: AI demand itself isn’t necessarily weakening — investors may simply be becoming PC sales are sluggish, and $xDELL Dell's earnings report numbers won't look good
Memory price hikes have passed on to the end market, PC prices have followed suit, the Chinese market has already been halved, hardware costs have risen, consumers are not buying, both sales and profits are under pressure.
Dell's earnings this quarter need to be watched on two fronts: the PC business is very likely to underperform, and whether AI servers can support the overall numbers is the key. But server gross margins are low and can't cover the PC shortfall.
My judgment: the numbers won't look good, market expectations have already been lowered, the key lies in management's guidance for the second half of the year. If Dell also says "enterprise IT spending is contracting," the entire hardware sector will need to be revalued.
Waiting to see the specific numbers before making any conclusions.
#财报观察员：博通与戴尔接棒，AI回报再受检验 Markets appear to be reacting to renewed Middle East tensions after fresh military exchanges between the U.S. and Iran, reigniting concerns around the Strait of Hormuz and pushing oil prices higher. What's interesting is that $BTC has been surprisingly resilient. It dipped from around $78K to $77K but quickly found buyers. For a geopolitical shock, that's a relatively strong response and suggests support remains intact. $ETH couldn't hold $2.5K, but staying above $2.4K is still an important sign📉 Today's crypto market broadly declines: It's not sentiment, but a repricing
On August 31, the total crypto market cap fell about 1%–3% from Sunday's peak, operating around $2.59 trillion–$2.68 trillion. Bitcoin fluctuated near $77,600–$78,100, Ethereum dropped more sharply (about -1.6% to $2,416–$2,438), and altcoins like SOL and XRP generally fell deeper. 
This is not a single negative factor but several layers of logic stacked together.
🏦 1. Macro main cause: Jackson Hole dismantled the "rate cut trade"
On August 28, Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh delivered his first keynote speech at Jackson Hole during his tenure, sending a clear hawkish signal to the market:
• Called inflation "worrisome," with PCE year-over-year still around 3.7%, summer data "better than expected but does not indicate a clear improvement in underlying trends";
• The standard is: must be confident that underlying inflation is approaching the 2% target at a sufficient pace, otherwise "we still have work to do";
• Refused to give forward guidance, emphasizing the Fed should not let the market bet on "guessing the Fed's next move." 
The market immediately repriced:
• Probability of a September rate hike rose from about 35% to 56%–57%;
• U.S. Treasury yields rose, the dollar strengthened;
• Risk assets simultaneously came under pressure—crypto, tech stocks, and gold all retraced. 
Theoretical support: liquidity pricing.
Bitcoin has no cash flow; its valuation heavily depends on "future liquidity expectations." When the market shifts from "cheap money soon" to "rates may stay tight longer or even rise," high Beta risk assets are the first to be liquidated. This is the classic risk appetite rotation in macro finance (Risk-on → Risk-off), not a major on-chain problem.
💸 2. Funding: institutional buying withdrew on the same day
On the same trading day, the U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF recorded a net outflow of about $201.8 million–$201.9 million, ending a continuous 9-day net inflow streak (previously totaling about $2.8 billion–$3.0 billion). Institutional buying was the core incremental driver of the rebound in mid to late August; once buying stopped, spot support immediately thinned. 
Theoretical support: marginal funds determine price.
Spot ETFs are the most important compliant incremental channel for Bitcoin. Continuous inflows push prices up; once reversed to outflows, short-term pricing power shifts from "institutional support" back to "leveraged traders trampling each other." Fund flows often lead candlesticks, a basic rule in institutional markets.
📊 3. Technical: secondary resistance near $2.72 trillion, double top risk forming
Total market cap stalled twice near $2.72 trillion—once in early May, once at last week's high around $2.71 trillion. After the second rejection, a double top pattern, the least desired by traders, began to form. The key observation level is about $2.54 trillion: holding it means consolidation; breaking it opens a downward path to $2.43 trillion → $2.26 trillion. 
Bitcoin itself also faced intense selling pressure near $81,000–$81,500 (touched about $81,455 before retreating). Above $80,000 lies a "triple resistance" zone of ETF cost basis, short-term profit-taking chips, and historical supply concentration.
Theoretical support: double top + resistance supply.
A double top is not mystical; it essentially means the same price level failed to be absorbed by buyers twice, indicating sellers above are more determined than buyers below. Coupled with profit-taking, the price can only retrace first to confirm demand.
⚠️ 4. Amplifier: leverage liquidations turned retracement into broad decline
The August rebound was too fast (BTC rose about 26% within two weeks), accumulating long leverage. After the pullback, billions of dollars in long liquidations occurred (statistics show about $390 million–$480 million liquidated in a single day, mostly longs), and altcoins, with poorer liquidity, saw amplified declines. 
Theoretical support: liquidation cascade.
Crypto perpetual contracts are a high-leverage market. Price breaks key support → long positions liquidate with automatic market sells → smashing through the next liquidation line. Spot was originally just mild profit-taking; derivatives amplify it into a "network-wide broad decline."
🔍 5. Secondary disturbances (not main causes but worsen sentiment)
• Oil prices strengthened (WTI about $85, up about 2% intraday), reinforcing inflation concerns;
• Reports mentioned rising U.S.-Iran geopolitical tensions;
• Cronos/Tectonic suffered about $75 million-level attack, network paused briefly—limited impact on mainstream coin pricing but adds to the narrative of "risk assets being unsafe." 
Sentiment-wise, the Fear & Greed Index fell from previous highs, currently mostly in the 61–62 greed range (previously reached extreme greed), indicating cooling heat but not yet panic bottoming. 
🎯 Fisherman's view on this candlestick
This looks more like a technical retracement after macro repricing, not a fundamental collapse.
Short-term key points:
• BTC: $77,000–$77,500 is near-term support; losing it likely tests $76,000;
• Above: $80,000–$81,500 remains a supply wall;
• Total market cap: $2.54 trillion is the watershed for double top validity.
Mid-term still watching two things:
1) Whether September Fed path gets contradicted by data;
2) Whether ETFs can turn inflows back on.
When the lake fogs, first watch the wind direction, then cast the line. Today's wind blows from Jackson Hole.
#Bitcoin #Cryptocurrency #Today'sMarket #FederalReserve #JacksonHole #ETF #TechnicalAnalysis #MacroLiquidity #OKXPlanet #MarketInterpretationJust now, the data came out: BTC ETF ended a 9-day streak of net inflows, with a net outflow of 201.9 million USD on Friday. But ETH ETF has had net inflows for 10 consecutive days, totaling 1.52 billion USD, with BlackRock alone accounting for 72%.
This is not a withdrawal of funds from the crypto market; it's a shift of funds from BTC to ETH and altcoins.
In the past two weeks, BTC ETF has accumulated nearly 3 billion USD in inflows, so taking profits now is normal. But ETH ETF continues to attract capital, indicating institutions are not bearish on crypto but are reallocating.
More importantly, the ETH/BTC exchange rate rose from 0.031 to 0.0317, a clear signal of capital rotation. In August, ETH rose 40%, BTC only 25%, and the gap is widening.
Why now? Because ETH's narrative has changed: continuous ETF inflows + performance improvements after the Cancun upgrade + L2 ecosystem explosion + stable staking yields. BTC only has the halving narrative, while ETH has a whole ecosystem story.
But I want to remind you: when ETH outperforms BTC, it is often mid-bull market, not the end. When BTC starts outperforming ETH again, that's when caution is warranted.
Institutions are not buying ETH; they are buying the future of the ETH ecosystem.
Do you think ETH will continue to outperform BTC? I bet it will, at least until the end of September.
$BTC $ETH #ETF #特朗普媒体Q2加密亏损扩大，BTC持仓下降 Long and Short Game: Macro Pressure vs. Market Resilience
· 📊 Bullish Defense Line
· Continuous Inflow of New Funds: Bitcoin has achieved a weekly single-day market cap increase exceeding $4.6 billion, with genuine buying support at high levels.
· Institutional Positioning Continues: ETF net inflows in August have exceeded $3 billion; leading products like BlackRock have seen no large-scale redemptions, with long-term funds viewing pullbacks as opportunities.
· Anti-Devaluation Logic: The Treasury expands long-term bond repurchases increasing dollar supply, with some funds using BTC as a hedge.
· ⚠️ Bearish Pressure
· Hawkish Disturbance: After Wash's speech, rate cut expectations were revised downward, the dollar strengthened, and BTC fell below $79,000.
· Fund Divergence: On August 28, ETF net outflows totaled $201.8 million, led by ARKB and BITB outflows, but Grayscale still maintained inflows.
· Technical Resistance: Daily RSI approaches overbought (71.5), 4-hour chart shows bearish divergence, resistance at $80,700–81,000.
· 📌 Summary: Macro headwinds triggered a short-term pullback, but on-chain and ETF data show no trend reversal. The market is in a tug-of-war between "digesting valuation" and "capital absorption," with the area below $78,000 as a key mid-term observation zone. $BTC $ETH $SOL L #嘉信理财拟新增SOL、AVAX与LINK 、AVAX与LINK🌅 On Monday morning, global financial markets collectively plummeted, with the trigger being renewed clashes between the U.S. and Iran.
In the early hours of August 31, the U.S. military conducted an airstrike on Iran's Larak Island, marking the first publicly acknowledged physical military strike by the U.S. since the ceasefire agreement in July broke down.
Unlike the unilateral partial blockade of the Strait by Iran in March, this time the U.S. military proactively targeted rocket launchers, prompting the Iranian Revolutionary Guard to retaliate with missile strikes. The conflict has officially escalated from a simple oil price risk assessment to a direct and bilateral military confrontation.
💡Thought-provoking historical context
Recently, Trump has signaled a willingness to negotiate and expressed an intention to initiate dialogue with Iran.
The underlying logic: Domestically, the U.S. public is war-weary and eager to end the draining conflict in the Middle East; stabilizing oil prices and curbing inflation could also help secure public support for the midterm elections.
This sudden attack has directly narrowed the space for diplomatic negotiations.
There is a mainstream speculation in the market: certain influential forces are not pleased to see a smooth reconciliation between the United States and Iran.
Israel has consistently opposed any compromise with Iran, as a ceasefire negotiation would undermine the legitimacy of its military actions; similarly, the hawkish faction within the United States is also reluctant to see the negotiations proceed smoothly.
The crypto market weakened in sync, with BTC falling below the $78,000 mark.
A noteworthy phenomenon: during this round of geopolitical disturbances, Bitcoin's movement has been synchronized with crude oil, rather than following the safe-haven rhythm of gold.
Interestingly, the traditional safe-haven asset gold did not rise as expected but instead opened with a gap down.🔥 Trump VS Warsh: A "Power Game" That Could Influence $BTC Direction
The White House wants rate cuts, but the Fed is reiterating inflation risks.
Trump needs low interest rates to stimulate the economy and reduce government financing costs; meanwhile, Warsh's latest remarks at Jackson Hole are clearly more hawkish—if inflation does not clearly and quickly return to the 2% target, the Fed "still has work to do," and market expectations for a September rate hike have risen accordingly.
What does this mean for $BTC?
🟢 Rising rate cut expectations → improved liquidity → risk assets benefit
🔴 Rising rate hike expectations → pressure on USD/US Treasury yields and risk assets → short-term pressure on BTC
So the real key now is not who "wins," but whether future data can change Warsh's inflation assessment.
📌 Key focus going forward:
Inflation → Nonfarm Payrolls → September FOMC → Interest rate expectations → BTC liquidity
If inflation remains stubborn, BTC faces short-term risk;
If inflation cools significantly, rate cut trades heat up again, and the market may reopen upside potential.
BTC is now trading not just technical patterns, but macro policy expectations. 👀
#BTC #Crypto #Fed #Trump #Warsh #InterestRates #DailyOrbitJOLTS, ADP, jobless claims, and Friday's Nonfarm Payrolls are all lined up. With major labor data arriving back-to-back, volatility could stay elevated all week. Walsh has made it clear that inflation remains the priority. If employment data stays resilient, hawks will have support for a tougher stance. But if payrolls disappoint again, recent rate hike fears could quickly fade. That's why $BTC hovering around the $80K area isn't surprising. Until the data arrives, every breakout and breakdown d#Solana通胀缩减提案获投票通过
I am Cige. The Solana community just finished voting, and the SGP-0002 proposal narrowly passed with 67% support. 176.29 million SOL voted in favor, 66.19 million voted against, and 20.63 million abstained. This is Solana's first binding on-chain governance vote.
The proposal itself is not complicated; it raises the annual inflation reduction rate from 15% to 30%. The long-term inflation target remains unchanged at 1.5%, but the time to reach this target is shortened from 5.7 years to 2.8 years. It is expected that about 18.9 million fewer SOL will be issued over the next six years.
For token holders, reduced new issuance means slower supply growth and a slower dilution rate of existing holdings. However, staking rewards will also decrease, meaning validators and stakers will receive fewer new tokens. This is a trade-off: less dilution or more rewards—you can only choose one.
There was a twist during the voting process: the Helius CEO made 500 calls in the last few hours to persuade Kraken to change its voting stance, which helped the proposal narrowly pass.
For SOL, the supply growth rate is slowing. The inflation narrative has changed, and tokenomics is moving toward a tighter direction. If network transaction fees can compensate for the reduced rewards to validators, the staking ecosystem can be maintained. If not, staking participation may be affected.
$BTC $ETH $SOL From "Digital Gold" to "Yield-Generating Asset": CORE Institutional Edition Launches, Comparing Bitcoin's Long-Term Value and Short-Term Limitations
⚠️This article is for industry information exchange only and does not constitute investment advice
Recently, CORE launched an institutional solution targeting professional capital, focusing on compliant BTC staking and lstBTC liquidity services, specifically connecting with custodial institutions, asset management companies, and family offices. This objectively breaks down the long-term value and short-term expectations of this news.
Long-Term Positive Logic
1. Directly addresses core institutional pain points: Many institutions hold BTC long-term in cold wallets, lacking compliant channels to generate yield. CORE collaborates with leading custodians like BitGo and Hex Trust, allowing assets to remain within the custody system without transfer, using time-locked staking to generate BTC yield without cross-chain wrapping into WBTC. This mature yield solution is expected to increase traditional capital's willingness to allocate to Bitcoin.
2. Completes the BTCFi narrative system. Bitcoin has long been seen primarily as a digital store of value with limited financial application scenarios. After institutional tools are implemented, BTC can participate in staking, lending, and liquidity certificate issuance, further broadening Bitcoin's acceptance in traditional finance.
3. Optimizes chip structure. Institutional holders no longer rely solely on buying low and selling high for profit; stable staking yields will encourage long-term funds to reduce short-term selling, potentially easing spot selling pressure in the mid to long term.
Short-Term Constraints to View Rationally
1. Institutional business implementation involves a lengthy cycle. Risk control reviews, system integration, and capital strategy adjustments often take months; large capital inflows will not occur immediately upon product launch, so the positive impact has a clear time lag.
2. The core drivers of Bitcoin's market remain USD liquidity, Federal Reserve policy, ETF funds, and overseas regulatory policies. BTCFi is a derivative narrative that can boost the market but is unlikely to independently drive price strength against macro trends.
3. Competition in the sector continues; many BTC layer-2 and staking solutions exist, and institutional funds will diversify, making it difficult to concentrate all capital in a single ecosystem.
Impact on the $CORE Ecosystem
Relying on the ecosystem's dual staking mechanism, BTC holders seeking higher yields need to stake CORE together, which is expected to continuously generate token demand in the long term.
Key signals to monitor going forward: official cooperation announcements from leading asset management and custody institutions; steady growth in on-chain native staked BTC. Without real on-chain growth, market moves are likely just short-term sentiment pulses.
Trading Thoughts
Without a clear easing turning point in macro liquidity, it is unwise to rely on a single ecosystem's positive news to bet on a unilateral surge.
Over a longer cycle, the continuously improving institutional BTCFi infrastructure is an important foundational buildup for the next bull market, representing a gradual and progressive long-term logic. CORE's market performance is closely tied to BTCFi sector heat; continue to watch official cooperation announcements and on-chain data changes.
$BTC $CORE #CORE #Bitcoin #BTCFi$SNDK is under pressure on the market; tonight's US stock market opening is crucial.
Just now, the market saw a big bullish candle reach 1510, then it was pushed down. The market looks rather pessimistic. From 1510 downward, there are continuous sell orders; this dense selling pressure is serious, indicating many are waiting to exit.
The fundamentals are also worrying. Last night, the US military took action in the Strait of Hormuz, and Iran has already retaliated with missiles, sharply increasing geopolitical risk. The transmission logic is straightforward: oil prices rise, inflation expectations increase, no chance of rate cuts, liquidity tightens, and high-valuation assets get hit first.
Bitcoin fell below 77,000 last night. Stocks like SNDK, which rose from 998 to 1827, are inherently high-valuation and are the most likely to be abandoned by capital under this macro backdrop.
Tonight's US stock market opening is an important juncture. If tech stocks lead the sell-off there, SNDK will likely follow downward. If 1450 doesn't hold, the next support is 1400.
Currently, light short positions can be tried. But don't go all in; wait to see the direction again at the US market open tonight #美伊军事对抗升级，原油供应风险升温 🚨 BTC may be leading the race, but ETH could be getting ready to make its move.
$BTC is still setting the pace, but $ETH is starting to attract more attention.
When Bitcoin cools off after a strong move and holds steady, capital often starts looking for the next opportunity. If ETH begins catching up while BTC stays strong, we could see a much broader market rotation.
That’s why I’m watching the BTC/ETH relationship closely. 👀
#DailyOrbit Employment data will set the tone this week; whether rates will be cut or raised depends on this.
BTC 78062, ETH 2436, the market is stuck at a critical level, waiting for the macroeconomic card to play.
Last week, nonfarm payrolls unexpectedly decreased by 23,000, with the previous two months cumulatively revised down by 103,000. The signal of cooling hiring demand is already evident.
Yet, Walsh continues to emphasize "inflation above 2% and financial conditions not restrictive enough." After his speech, the probability of a rate hike in September surged from 35% to nearly 60%.
The judgment is simple: employment data will determine whether Walsh has the confidence to keep calling for rate hikes.
If employment disappoints this week and rate cut expectations reignite, BTC and ETH will break out strongly, directly targeting above 80000 and 2500 respectively.
If employment exceeds expectations strongly, Walsh will have enough chips to raise rates, putting pressure across all risk assets, and BTC may retest 76000.
I am betting on the first scenario, but my position won’t be heavy; I will wait for the data to confirm before adding.
Tonight, first watch the JOLTS job openings, which is the first appetizer.
#就业数据密集公布，沃什政策立场受检验 Spot ETFs have seen net inflows for 9 consecutive days, as Wall Street is completely rewriting Bitcoin's pricing power
Every time the market experiences volatility and pullbacks, retail investors panic and sell their bloodied chips, while Wall Street's buying machine keeps swallowing them relentlessly.
The spot Bitcoin ETFs led by BlackRock and Fidelity have recorded net purchases for 9 straight trading days, with daily net inflows exceeding $240 million. Throughout August, spot ETFs set the strongest weekly accumulation record since last fall, driving Bitcoin's monthly gains above 20%.
The capital flow data clearly shows a dramatic structural shift in the market. The era dominated by retail sentiment and offshore leverage causing wild price swings is ending, replaced by systematic monthly investments from European and American sovereign funds, pension funds, and family offices. These institutional funds never watch five-minute candlesticks; they execute allocation strategies with monthly lock-ups, and Bitcoin entering ETF custody cold wallets almost never returns to secondary market trading.
The chips lost by retail investors in fear ultimately become permanent base positions on Wall Street's balance sheets. As supply continues to be physically withdrawn, each pullback does not lead to a bottomless pit but rather forms the foundation for a violent rebound under a liquidity vacuum.
Facing Wall Street institutions' fierce accumulation day after day, are you going to patiently dollar-cost average with them at the current level, or wait for a deeper pullback to try to catch the rebound?

#BTC高位震荡，与黄金联动增强 Many people mining meme coins always want to rely on external news, but actually, there is a complete process for tracking wallets on-chain. Once you understand it thoroughly, you can avoid a lot of second-hand information.
First, find coins that have had historical surges, 750x, 4500x, etc. Even if they are now worthless, they still have reference value. Use GMGN to export the top 20 wallets that entered early before the surge of that coin. Filter once, remove addresses that have been inactive for a long time, keep those still trading in the last 30 days, usually leaving 3 to 5 wallets. Then distinguish between human and bot wallets; exclude automated wallets with transaction intervals of a few seconds. Then continuously track these wallets to see what new coins they open positions in and how large their positions are. The key is to find resonance: when 3 independent wallets hold the same coin simultaneously, it’s worth pulling out for a closer look. Finally, apply your own scoring criteria; do not touch those scoring below 9.
The underlying logic is to distinguish luck from skill. Wallets that get rich by luck disappear quickly; addresses with real trading ability survive several cycles. You don’t need others to share insider info; on-chain data speaks for itself.
Remember the risks: copying wallets does not equal replicating profits. Different capital sizes mean very different risk tolerances. What you buy is just the beginning; when to sell and how to set stop-loss and take-profit are what truly make the difference.Looking at Bitcoin $BTC historical trends over a longer period, I am increasingly skeptical of the so-called "four-year cycle."
Halving does affect supply, but it doesn't explain why the market suddenly accelerates, nor why the cycle can be disrupted by unexpected events.
The LUNA crash, the FTX collapse, and last year's 1011 event—each time the market rhythm truly changed, it wasn't because "time was up," but due to panic, greed, and a stampede of funds.
If you only look at halving dates, BTC does seem to follow a pattern; but when you factor in human nature and black swan events, the so-called four-year cycle isn't that magical.
The market has never traded according to the calendar.
Halving is just a variable; what truly determines bull and bear markets is human nature.DeFi is in trouble again...
#Tectonic遭操纵，Cronos暂停出块
Tectonic is suspected of being manipulated due to low liquidity asset prices; attackers borrowed a large amount of assets, and some funds were even transferred cross-chain. Subsequently, Cronos paused block production. The project team is still investigating, and the final loss has not been confirmed.
Honestly, when seeing "pause block production," the first reaction is definitely: Can a public chain just stop whenever it wants?
But when assets are actually flowing out, continuing to operate might only help attackers move money. A short pause to stop the bleeding, I can understand; the problem is who decides, how long the pause lasts, and whether the process is transparent. If every incident relies on admins pulling the plug, then the so-called decentralization is indeed a bit awkward.
What should be questioned more this time is why Tectonic allows low liquidity assets to bear such high collateral value. If the price is slightly pulled, a large amount of real money can be borrowed. The oracle is just the entry point; the collateral cap and risk control parameters are the final gate.
If the funds are still in similar protocols, well, don’t rush to talk about faith. Reduce positions, cancel high-risk authorizations, and wait until the loss and compensation plan are clarified before deciding.
On-chain yields can be earned slowly, but if the principal is gone, it’s really gone.Sun Yuchen has been practicing this playstyle for 20 years;
In 2019, he spent 4.56 million USD on a lunch with Buffett, then bailed citing kidney stones, missing the meal but grabbing all the trending attention.
In 2024, he spent 6.2 million USD to buy a banana stuck on a wall and ate it publicly.
In 2025, he went to space and came back silent for three days.
Every move precisely hit the traffic flow and left a way out.
Don’t think he’s just hyping; behind it all is business. His stablecoin on the TRON chain is worth over 86 billion USD, accounting for nearly 30% globally — it’s real business.
The label of scamming investors is true, the black-and-white accusations are true, and the real money is true.

He’s been barred from entering mainland China since June 2018, hasn’t set foot on the mainland for eight years, yet the trending topics, traffic, and lawsuits are all in China’s courts.
A person who can’t return to the country ironically lives off domestic controversies. In the long article, the line "Can you come to Beijing? I fell silent" was said by netizens to be the most honest sentence in the whole text.

This IPO has a special design: it considers allowing existing shareholders to directly sell part of their shares during the listing phase, while imposing a longer lock-up period than the usual 180 days on some shareholders, balancing early investors' desire to cash out and reducing selling pressure that could impact the stock price after listing.
The core market contention now lies in the real data within the prospectus.
On one hand, Anthropic has already achieved quarterly profitability, its enterprise API business is growing rapidly, and it holds massive compute power purchase orders, painting a very full story; on the other hand, the huge compute power expenses continue to consume cash flow, and there is significant controversy over whether the high revenue forecasts for 2028 can be realized.
The impact on the crypto market should be viewed rationally.
✅ Optimistic scenario: The prospectus shows strong performance, the AI sector sentiment is high, driving a general recovery in risk assets, and BTC gains sentiment support.
⚠️ Pessimistic scenario: Valuation expectations are too high, subscription is lukewarm, the AI sector faces valuation cuts, institutional funds will undergo capital rotation, and some AI concept coins will face diversion pressure.
It is important to distinguish the primary from the secondary: The Anthropic IPO is a sector disturbance, but the major trend of BTC is still dominated by US Treasury yields, US dollar liquidity, and spot ETF funds. Do not place all trading logic on this single event.#Moonwell与Avici接连出险，链上应用风控受审视
Latest on-chain data shows that Brother Maji currently holds about $114 million in long positions, with around $100 million concentrated in ETH. The ETH entry price is about $2463, and the liquidation price is about $2307.
It still looks very strong, but one detail is very important:
In the past few days, his account funds have dropped from $11.15 million to about $8.8 million, not due to a one-time liquidation, but through continuous stop-losses and position reductions during price fluctuations.
This is quite different from the previous approach of stubbornly holding 25x or 40x leverage until the end.
Now his core logic seems to be:
Still bullish on direction, but no longer relying entirely on a single position to hold at all costs; instead, controlling drawdowns through reducing positions and stop-losses, while concentrating the main chips on ETH.
More interestingly, his ETH long position is only about $156 away from the liquidation price, meaning if ETH continues to fall, the leveraged position will still face significant pressure.
So what’s really worth studying this time is not "Brother Maji went all in again."
But that a long-term high-leverage trader is starting to learn to use stop-losses to buy survival space.
This might be his biggest change this time:
Before, he was betting on direction; now he’s betting on whether he can survive longer.BTC 78062, ETH 2436, touched 2600 and above 79000 in the early morning, woke up and it was all gone.
The Strait of Hormuz is at war again, Iran shot down a US MQ-9 drone, Trump posted an AI video threat, US forces launched a night raid destroying the launcher.
I've seen this script too many times. Whenever negotiations approach, this happens; if you don't let the US gain bargaining chips in the Middle East, they will never let your risk assets be stable.
Gold fell below 4400, BTC followed down, indicating funds are closing positions and adding margin, not rotating for hedging.
Conclusion: This conflict is limited in scale, more like a pressure tactic before negotiations. If the US stock market doesn't escalate further after opening, the decline is just short-term emotional venting.
No rush in operations, wait for one hour after the opening to confirm direction before acting. 【Only one thing to focus on in September: the Federal Reserve's interest rate meeting】
At 2:00 AM Beijing time on September 17, will the Federal Reserve raise interest rates?
My current conclusion is: no change.
Many friends who are long or going all-in on spot are worried that the Fed will raise rates in September, causing BTC to plummet and the bear market to return.
But if you understand the current economic situation in the U.S., you will know the Fed will not raise rates lightly.
【The real risk may not be in the U.S., but in Japan】
If the U.S.-Japan interest rate differential continues to widen, the yen will come under pressure again. To stabilize the exchange rate, Japan may need to sell U.S. dollar assets and reduce some U.S. Treasury holdings.
Once U.S. Treasuries are sold off by major overseas buyers, the U.S.'s own financing costs will further increase.
This is a chain reaction of rate hikes that could backfire on the U.S.
Additionally, the U.S. August employment data has not yet been released. If employment performance is poor, the likelihood of a rate hike is even lower.
The U.S. August unemployment rate and nonfarm payroll data will be released at 8:30 PM Beijing time on September 4.
So in September, just pay attention to two dates:
September 4: watch the employment data.
September 17: watch the Federal Reserve interest rate meeting.
Combined with the yen exchange rate, from July 30 to August 26, the U.S. and Japan jointly intervened, spending a total of 96 billion USD, but the USD/JPY returned to 160.
If the Fed raises rates again, a conservative estimate is that USD/JPY could reach 180, and the subsequent chain of reactions is unimaginable.
The above content is only a personal market analysis and trading idea record and does not constitute any investment advice. Please control your position and risk according to your own situation. The United States owes 40 trillion! This number is rewriting the rules of the crypto game.
What does 40 trillion mean? The U.S., the world's largest GDP, owes an amount equal to its output of two years without eating or drinking.
What does this mean for Bitcoin $BTC?
First, the cracks in the U.S. dollar's credit are widening. Trump pushed the strategic Bitcoin reserve, gold prices surged to $4500 but couldn't hold, and funds are voting with fiat devaluation hedges, boosting BTC's "digital gold" narrative.
Second, the fiscal dilemma forces a policy shift. The debt keeps rolling over and growing; in the long run, printing money is the only way out. The Fed stubbornly resists rate cuts, but under the pressure of 40 trillion in interest, the rate-cut cycle will be delayed but inevitable, which is the fuse for BTC to hit 100,000.
Third, tokenized U.S. debt is exploding: BlackRock BUIDL retakes first place, with a scale of 2.8 billion, and the market rose from 15 billion to 16 billion.
The worse the macro environment, the more attractive BTC becomes. Short-term pain, long-term bull market, hold patiently. After the sharp drop, don't rush to take sides
This morning's plunge liquidated $346 million long positions, with BTC bottoming at 77,500 and ETH breaking 2,400. On the surface, it looks like a US-Iran skirmish plus hawkish Wash, but I prefer to interpret it as a leverage liquidation.
The key is not how much it fell, but where it stopped. BTC just stopped above the previous low at 76,800, and ETH also found resistance near 2,400. After a volume spike, volume quickly shrank, indicating those who needed to exit have done so, and the remaining holders are reluctant to sell at this level.
It's hard to set stop losses when chasing shorts. Downside space is limited, but a rebound could come quickly—there's still a CME gap, and if sentiment improves after the US market opens, filling the gap could produce a bullish candle.
Here's how I see it:
BTC holds 76,800, wait for rebound confirmation; if it climbs back above 78,500, short-term bears should be cautious. ETH first watches 2,400; if it holds, there's a chance to reach 2,450; if not, look to 2,350.
Gold XAUT didn't move today, which isn't bad. Without a rise in safe-haven demand, funds won't rush out one-sidedly, giving BTC a chance to catch its breath.
As for small coins like BICO, no rush now. Until BTC stabilizes, altcoins won't have independent rallies.
The liquidation numbers are large but often mark emotional extremes. Staying calm is more important than impulsiveness now; wait for the market to find its direction before following—it won't be late.

#加密估值转向收入，BTC如何定价？
$ETH $BTC Whether $xMU can reverse depends crucially on two major events on Thursday and Friday!
If the data leans dovish, the rebound strength of storage stocks like XMU will be even stronger than BTC.
Three details:
NVDA's after-hours -5% sentiment extension. Micron's storage + HBM logic is linked to NVDA; last night NVDA dropped 5%, and XMU couldn't avoid it.
HBM4 mass production is still progressing. Micron's HBM4 capacity ramp-up is the core of this narrative, but the market's short-term attention was stolen by NVDA's earnings report.
FY26 Q2 record high is already priced in. 134M year-over-year revenue is a historical high, but the logic of "good news is bad news" is also fermenting.
My thinking: 900-920 is the range for scaling in. XMU is not suitable for chasing; consider it again when it pulls back to the 900 integer level. If US stocks see dovish PPI on Thursday and non-farm payroll data on Friday, the rebound strength of storage stocks like XMU will be even stronger than BTC. Bassett described the current economic sanctions on Iran as an economic "Normandy landing," but it is clear that the actual effect is not ideal, more like unilateral economic pressure from the U.S. rather than multilateral coordination.
After the announcement of this economic plan, the UK, NATO member Turkey, all remained silent, and Pakistan even stated it has no obligation to respond to such unilateral sanctions.
It is obvious that the decline of the U.S. military and economic power globally is becoming increasingly apparent. The inability to guarantee allies' interests and the practice of only exploiting allies have long caused dissatisfaction. Silence and isolation are just the beginning. If Trump continues recklessly, a collective backlash is very likely.
Bassett clearly stated in the report that unless Chinese companies face secondary sanctions, it will be difficult to achieve victory in actions against Iran.
Indeed, Bassett hits the core of the problem, but should the U.S. do this? Will Trump allow it? September is approaching, and Chinese leaders are about to visit the U.S. Making empty claims is possible, but if it turns into diplomatic hostility, can Trump bear the consequences?
Although the risk of war between the U.S. and Iran has not yet expanded globally, the resulting rise in energy prices has already plunged the world into an era of high inflation. If crude oil prices spiral out of control, especially for U.S. system allies, inflationary pressure will be greater. Forced to raise interest rates to curb inflation, they will also have to bear the increased risk of economic recession, risks the U.S. cannot shoulder for them.
Alliances are based on mutual benefit; when benefits end, so does the alliance. Now, if Trump cannot secure enough benefits for allies, why should they help you?
#美伊军事对抗升级，原油供应风险升温 $AAOI (Applied Optoelectronics) had a tough week.
Last Friday it closed at $106.23, dropping 6% in one day, barely recovering to around $107 after hours. Despite this rough week, it has still more than tripled since the beginning of the year, with a little over a threefold increase in one year; it's just that the surge to $233 in May was too wild, and now it's effectively halved from that peak.
The fundamentals aren't bad: Q2 revenue was $192 million, up 86% year-over-year, and Non-GAAP is already positive. The company itself says orders for 800G and 1.6T are so high that capacity can't keep up, and Q3 guidance aims to reach $255–$290 million. Most analysts still recommend buying, with an average target price around $163.
But what annoys the market most now is: on August 21, they did another $600 million ATM offering, the third round this year. It's understandable that expansion requires money, but shareholders are understandably unhappy about dilution, so the stock price is being pressured by sentiment.
In short: business is good, but they don't have enough cash from operations and have to dilute again. In the short term, it depends on whether sentiment can recover; in the medium term, it depends on whether the production lines can really deliver the orders. Not a recommendation, decide for yourself. #就业数据密集公布，沃什政策立场受检验 #星球日报 #OKX星球话题来啦 In this market wave, two short positions were almost opened at the highest points and closed at the lowest points, luckily preserving profits. At that time, ETH lingered around 2440 without falling further, and I vaguely felt something was off, so I chose to exit first. The original plan was to wait for it to break support and then short again on the rebound. Unexpectedly, instead of falling, BTC and ETH rose along with the risk-off sentiment triggered by geopolitical conflicts, likely driving altcoins to collectively catch up.
Looking back, this exit actually avoided a round of profit retracement. The sudden market shift was somewhat related to Trump's unexpected statement, a typical case of unforeseen volatility. Notably, Charles Schwab plans to list SOL, AVAX, and LINK, clarifying institutional entry paths and improving capital expectations. Meanwhile, Powell emphasized inflation risks, with September rate hike expectations heating up, leaving macro uncertainties.
In the short term, BTC is tugging between bulls and bears at high levels, with stronger correlation to gold, reinforcing its safe-haven attribute in market pricing. However, news-driven rallies often lack sustainability; without incremental funds following up, correction pressure cannot be ignored. Currently, it is more suitable to observe rather than chase highs, and reassess direction after sentiment cools.
Risk warning: The market is highly volatile; please control your positions rationally and manage risks well. $BTC $ETH $SOLBrothers, on Monday midday, the sharp drop in the early morning washed out a lot of people. BTC dropped directly from 79,300 to 76,900, ETH hit a low of 2,386, SOL hit a low of 100.2, all are spikes.
$BTC is now at 77,967, with support at 77,000; as long as 76,900 doesn't break, it's a good sign. The 15-minute indicators have turned positive, it can't fall further. I placed orders to buy between 77,200-77,400, stop loss at 76,700, target 78,500, if it holds, then look at 79,300. The order at 75,555 is still there, will add when it reaches.
$ETH at 2,434, pulled back from 2,386, the ETF has had net inflows for 11 consecutive days, which is real; the Cronos issue is just a short-term emotional impact. I continue to hold my long position, will buy more on a pullback to 2,400-2,415, stop loss at 2,375, target 2,460-2,510.
$SOL at 102.5, the hardest hit, dropped straight from 107 to 100.2. The market is speculating on Robinhood's blockchain project, but the governance upgrade and the V1 launch on the 9th remain intact. As long as 100 doesn't break, it's buyable; I placed orders at 100.5-101 waiting, stop loss at 99.4, target 104-106.5.
On the news front, fighting has resumed between Russia and Ukraine, putting pressure on risk assets, but on-chain whales are still accumulating, smart money hasn't fled.Why is $UNI so strong? Criticized for five years, recently UNI's performance has surprised many. Despite the overall market not being particularly booming, UNI has charted an independent course. Why? As the absolute leader among decentralized exchanges, it can collect tens of billions of dollars in fees annually. But for a full five years, UNI token holders could only participate in governance voting and did not receive a single cent. A protocol that makes huge profits but whose token captures no value—this has been criticized by the community for five years. This year, the UNI protocol officially activated the v4 fee switch, starting to use fee income to buy back and burn UNI. The token transformed from being only for voting to being deflationary and dividend-paying, completely rewriting the entire logic. However, this alone was not enough to drive UNI's rise. A bigger catalyst came in July this year with the launch of the Robinhood Chain mainnet. UNI was a core partner from the start and became the main market maker on this chain. In one month, the daily trading volume of stock tokens on UNI increased tenfold, reaching $130 million. UNI unexpectedly became the "settlement layer" for global users trading U.S. stocks 24/7, and protocol revenue surged accordingly. Data observable on Alpaca explains everything: holder income was $4.38 million in July and doubled to $8.75 million in August. As of the end of August, UNI has cumulatively burned 110 million UNI tokens worth $630 million, with daily burns exceeding $400,000 in August, Robinhood.Why is downloading a Web3 app nowadays harder than getting a driver's license? 😤

The leader has something to say
Tectonic was hit for 75 million, the attacker pushed the TONIC price up 100 times in 20 minutes, using the inflated collateral to borrow a large amount of assets. Cronos directly stopped block production on the entire chain, blocking most of the funds.
The chain halt is very controversial. Blocking fund outflows is correct, but the precedent that the chain can be stopped at any time means something users need to rethink. $BTC $ETH $SOL
Three security incidents in one week: Moonwell and Tectonic were price manipulations, Avici was a third-party contract vulnerability. DeFi trust costs are rising, and users will become more selective.
On the market, BTC is around 77,000, continuing to hold ZEC short positions with floating profits of over 90 points. Oil prices are above 90, geopolitical tensions are rising, short-term direction is bearish. All long positions have been closed, waiting for a pullback, no chasing or resisting.

The demand for AI computing power hasn't cooled down yet. Nvidia has already delivered its first test, and now it's Broadcom and Dell's turn.
As long as Broadcom and Dell's data continue to prove that AI capital expenditures are spreading, this AI rally isn't over yet.
In the past, everyone speculated on AI by focusing only on Nvidia and GPUs.
But now it's different. After buying GPUs, you also need to buy servers, networking equipment, custom chips, optical modules, and finally, someone has to turn this computing power into real enterprise revenue.
Especially Broadcom, with custom AI chips plus networking, is essentially benefiting from the continued expansion of AI infrastructure.
Dell is even more direct; whether AI servers really sell well will be revealed in their earnings report.
Of course, if another scenario occurs: AI orders keep growing, but profit margins start to fall, or companies begin to slow capital expenditures, then caution is needed.
Because the market ultimately pays not for the "AI story," but for whether AI can actually make money.
So what I care about more is, when will the massive AI investments truly turn into cash flow?
If the answer becomes clearer, the AI rally can continue.
If the answer becomes more uncertain, then these high valuations will sooner or later require someone to pay the price.
The real second half of the AI bull market isn't about who sells more chips, but about who can turn computing power into profit. $xDELL Regarding this week's AI earnings reports, the company I want to focus on most is no longer Nvidia, but rather Broadcom.
The reason is simple: Nvidia has already proven that "AI has buyers." What really needs to be verified now is how far this AI money can actually flow down the industry chain. Broadcom's custom AI chips and networking business, Dell's AI servers, and Snowflake's enterprise AI applications correspond exactly to the three segments of chips, hardware, and software. Whose revenue and profits can continue to rise is who truly benefits from the second wave of AI dividends, rather than just riding the hype.
If I had to pick the sector that will realize profits first, I would still lean towards servers and chips.
Not because I think software has no chance, but because the most realistic AI demand right now is still "to first stack up computing power." Data center expansion, GPU deployment, network equipment upgrades—these are all expenses customers are already paying real money for, so revenue realization on the hardware side will be faster. Software requires enterprises to be truly willing to pay long-term, which obviously takes a longer cycle.
But if you ask me what I would prefer to allocate to in the long term, I actually wouldn’t always just focus on hardware leaders.
Hardware is currently the easiest place to see money, but software is where profit margins can truly widen in the future. Only when enterprises start continuously increasing spending, purchasing more, and renewing subscriptions for AI features can AI be considered to have transformed from "frantically burning capital expenditure" into something that genuinely improves business models.
So for these three companies this week, I am actually looking at three different things: Broadcom to see if AI computing demand can continue to expand outward, Dell to see if capital expenditure can continue to convert into orders, and Snowflake to see if enterprises are truly willing to pay long-term for AI.
If all three earnings reports can provide answers, then the AI market can be said to have truly entered the next phase.
After all, the story so far can no longer just ask "How big is AI?"
Now the question is: who ultimately really made money from this.
$SNOW $NVDA #财报观察员：博通与戴尔接棒，AI回报再受检验 $OKB fell from 116.77 to 111.31; don't forget it is a deflationary token with a total locked supply of 21 million.
Background: In August 2025, OKX burned 65,256,700 OKB tokens in one go, fixing the total issuance at 21 million tokens, entering a Bitcoin-like scarcity model. This structural change happened a year ago, not a recent update, but the fact of the locked total supply remains unchanged and still serves as a long-term pricing foundation; the spike to 116.77 on 08/30 was more of a short-term fluctuation.
Current price is 111.31, down 2.92% in 24 hours. Today on the 1-hour chart, it opened at 111.53, peaked at 111.59, and closed at 111.31, with a volatility of 0.56%. This round fell from 116.77 to a bottom at 109.27. EMA5, EMA10, and EMA20 are 111.32, 111.53, and 112.15 respectively, with the price stuck near the moving averages. The super trend line at 113.62 has turned into a resistance level.
In the sub-chart, the KDJ J value is still relatively high at 76.74; RSI three lines are 42.51, 39.67, and 43.60, all below 50 but not yet oversold. The MACD histogram has turned negative, DIF has fallen below DEA, indicating weak short-term momentum.
Do you think this wave will first fill the drop to 109, or can it first stand back above 112?
Personal opinion, not investment advice.
#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 $BTC $ETH #Employment data is being released intensively, and Wash's policy stance is being tested
Just finished listening to Wash's hawkish remarks at Jackson Hole; whether there will be a rate hike in September depends heavily on the employment data in the coming days as a hard indicator.
Is a rate hike more likely in September or will they hold steady?
I believe the probability of maintaining the current interest rate is higher. Although Wash has been insisting on firmly suppressing inflation and inflation data remains sticky, the US Department of Labor recently significantly revised down nonfarm payroll data by 79,000 through March this year. Coupled with the previously weaker-than-expected July employment, the certainty of a cooling labor market is quite high. Forcing a rate hike now carries too much risk; the Federal Reserve will most likely pause first to observe.
The data I am most focused on is definitely the nonfarm payrolls, especially the unemployment rate and wage growth. Indicators like JOLTS and ADP are more forward-looking previews, but nonfarm payrolls are the core decision-making factor for the Fed. If the August nonfarm unemployment rate continues to stabilize or slightly rise, and wage growth slows, inflation pressure will naturally ease from the supply side.
Personally, I would choose to temporarily consolidate, reduce leverage, and maintain high cash flow. During such a period of heavy data releases, the market often experiences intense two-way shakeouts. Blindly betting on a September rate cut or hike is very risky.
Looking ahead
$BTC is very likely to experience intense fluctuations within a range in the short term. If this week's data proves employment is indeed cooling faster and rate hike expectations are completely crushed, macro funds may see a wave of risk aversion combined with accumulation. But if the data unexpectedly strengthens, providing Wash with an excuse to tighten further, the crypto market will inevitably face another round of liquidity tightening and decline in the short term After Jackson Hole, I think the labor market has suddenly become much more important.
Warsh described employment conditions as broadly consistent with full employment, pointing to the 4.1% unemployment rate and relatively low jobless claims. That gives the Fed more room to stay focused on inflation for now.
But this week’s jobs data could test that view.
Economists are looking for roughly 50K–55K new payrolls in August, with unemployment expected to remain around 4.1%. After July’s weak payroll number, another disappointing report could make the Fed’s tougher stance harder to maintain.
Personally, I think the unemployment rate matters more than the headline payroll number this time. Job creation can look weak simply because labor-force growth is slowing. But if unemployment starts climbing together with weaker hiring, that would tell a much more concerning story.
#LaborMarketTestsWalsh $BTC | Hormuz Shipping Risk Escalation
Fact: Iran reports that a supertanker caught fire and stopped after hitting two mines in the Strait of Hormuz; details are still pending independent verification.
Market Reaction: Brent crude broke above $90 again, stock markets are under pressure; gold has not shown significant strength, still suppressed by Fed hawkish expectations and high yields.
Impact Chain:
Hormuz risk ↑ → Crude oil ↑ → Inflation expectations ↑ → US Treasury yield pressure ↑ → US stocks/BTC under pressure; gold is tugged between "safe-haven support" and "high interest rate headwinds."
My Judgment: The real focus is not on a single tanker, but whether commercial vessels begin to reduce passage through Hormuz. If shipping volume continues to decline, energy inflation could once again become the core trade in global markets. Last night’s incident between the US and Iran directly knocked down BTC and ETC.
Woke up in the middle of the night and checked my phone, BTC dropped from 78k to 77k, and ETC fell nearly 3%. My first reaction: what happened again? Then I saw the news—the US military bombed Iran’s Larak Island, and Iran retaliated with missile strikes.
Honestly, geopolitical conflicts themselves aren’t necessarily a big negative for crypto; there used to be talk about it being a “safe haven.” But this time it’s really different.
Oil prices surged, Brent crude hit 90 again. Then look at this—the probability of a Fed rate hike in September suddenly jumped to nearly 57%. What the market fears now isn’t the war itself, but that the war will push oil prices up, which will drive inflation higher, forcing the Fed to continue raising rates. The dollar strengthens, US Treasury yields rise, and risk assets like Bitcoin have no choice but to take a hit first.
Interestingly, before last night’s drop, rate hike expectations were already climbing. This military conflict just poured fuel on an already tense macro sentiment, a double whammy.
Now it’s a question of whether the 78k level can hold. If it breaks, technical traders will likely follow suit and sell off. If the situation eases, maybe it can recover. But honestly, who can say for sure? As long as there’s any stir near the Strait of Hormuz, if oil prices rise, crypto will tremble again.
Anyway, my position isn’t heavy, so I’m just watching the show. In times like this, it’s better not to act rashly.
The above is just my personal opinion.
#美伊军事对抗升级，原油供应风险升温 #美方酝酿打击伊朗能源设施，使馆发撤离预警
$BTC $ETH BTC is hovering near $77.5K, down ~1.6% in 24H. The hawkish Fed shock should’ve been priced in by now—so why is BTC moving sideways instead of breaking down? Three paths I’m watching: 1️⃣ Jobs <100K → hike bets fade → USD & yields fall → BTC rebounds 📈 2️⃣ Jobs stay strong → hike odds rise → USD & yields climb → BTC breaks lower 📉 3️⃣ Mixed data → chop continues until the Fed makes the next move. The key: Friday’s jobs report. 👀 #LaborMarketTestsWalsh #BTCGoldCorrelation #BroadcomDellAIResuEarnings week is here again, starring Dell and Broadcom. My focus is no longer on the four words "AI concept"; who is still telling stories and who has already received money becomes clear once you flip through the earnings report.
I bet on hardware to realize returns faster. Companies like Broadcom, which sell custom chips and switches, have revenue that is solidly accounted for, and Dell's server orders and backlog also reveal clues. Software, on the other hand, is slower; most AI software is still in trial and money-burning stages, and the earnings reports still say it's a transition period.
If I were to invest in the AI industry chain, I would choose hardware over software—not because software has no future, but because profit realization lags by one or two years. My holding logic is simple: let the profit statement speak. No matter how loud the story is told, negative numbers on the report are all illusions.
#财报观察员：博通与戴尔接棒，AI回报再受检验 $BTC The Japanese Ministry of Finance announced data showing that from July 30 to August 26, Japan invested a total of 15.4 trillion yen (approximately 96.5 billion USD) in foreign exchange intervention, setting a new record for monthly intervention. The goal was to buy yen and curb its rapid depreciation.
However, even after spending nearly 100 billion USD, the yen continued to weaken under pressure.
The fundamental reason lies in Japan's struggle against the market interest rate differential and capital flow trends. Japanese interest rates remain significantly lower than those in the US, and with Fed officials releasing hawkish statements, the market has readjusted its expectations for a rate hike in September. The US dollar continues to strengthen, with USD/JPY breaking through the 160 level again. After the intervention, the yen briefly rebounded to around 159, then fell back again.
Simply put, foreign exchange intervention can only buy short-term buffer time and it is difficult to reverse the medium- to long-term depreciation trend of the yen by intervention alone.
It is worth noting that this time Japan did not act alone; at the end of July, the US and Japan implemented a rare joint intervention to prevent a collapse-style drop in the yen. Previously, the highest single-day intervention scale once reached 9.6 trillion yen.
But US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen stated on August 30 that the current yen situation is generally controllable, and there is no need to initiate a new round of US-Japan joint intervention for the time being. $BTC $ETH $SOL #交易之声：你的经验值得被听到 After Nvidia's earnings report was released, the spotlight on AI hardware quickly shifted to Broadcom and Dell, with high positions beginning to await evidence of the next round of cash flow realization.
Broadcom's AI semiconductor revenue reached $10.8 billion last quarter, and Dell's backlog of AI server orders has also piled up to $51.3 billion, with the infrastructure-level book figures still substantial.
The focus of capital is shifting from mere order accumulation to the actual conversion speed of Broadcom's $16 billion AI revenue guidance and Dell's $60 billion revenue target for fiscal year 2027.
When the overall market risk appetite remains at an extremely high level, whether the delivery pace can keep up with the guidance directly determines whether the liquidity of tech stocks will continue to expand or tighten rapidly.
If Broadcom's custom chip demand continues to expand and Dell's orders are realized as current profits as scheduled, the valuation system of the hardware supply chain will be supported, and capital will continue to concentrate on core assets such as $NVDA.
If there is even a slight sign of slowdown in subsequent guidance, concentrated profit-taking could quickly suppress risk appetite and trigger a sector-wide position pullback.
Once the guidance from both companies confirms a demand slowdown, the logic of sustained high growth in the hardware chain will be falsified.
The most important variable to watch in the coming days is the specific delivery ratio of Dell's on-hand orders converted into actual revenue for the current quarter.
#Tectonic遭操纵，Cronos暂停出块 #闪迪铠侠拟投310亿美元，NAND供需重估There is a detail in the current crypto market that is easily overlooked:
Whether $BTC rises or not is one thing, but whether funds have started to leave BTC is another.
Currently, BTC is still the core of the entire market, with its price fluctuating around $77,000. As long as BTC does not show a clear breakout, the market still has a foundation to continue upward.
But what really determines the next phase of profit-making might not be BTC itself, but BTC's market dominance.
If BTC continues to trade sideways while its market dominance starts to decline, and at the same time ETH/BTC stabilizes, with mainstream assets like SOL, BNB, LINK, SUI, AAVE beginning to increase in volume, this means funds are spreading from defensive assets to high Beta assets.
This is the signal I think is most worth paying attention to.
Because the altcoin season never starts suddenly on a single day.
It usually goes through:
BTC rising → BTC sideways → ETH strengthening → rotation among major altcoins → frenzy in small and mid-cap assets.
Right now, the market seems to be searching for direction between the second and third stages.
So don’t rush to ask "which altcoin is about to double soon."
First, observe whether funds have truly started to spread.
If BTC holds steady and ETH starts to run, only then do altcoins have the qualification to talk about a market rally.The hawks have returned again, and this week's table is completely different from last week's.
At this time last week, the market was still celebrating the triple benefits of Treasury buybacks, ETF accumulation, and short squeeze liquidations of 3.1 billion, with $BTC surging to 80,906. A week later, Powell turned hawkish at Jackson Hole, the probability of a September rate hike soared to 55.7%, Brent crude oil prices rose 5.4% in one day, and the stagflation combo directly knocked risk assets back to reality. BTC is now at 78,029, with a 24h range of 77,380-78,135, +0.43%. It looks stable, but actually both bulls and bears are hesitant to move.
My view: The nature of this correction has changed. Previously it was "taking a breather after a big rise," now there's a macro variable added. Under rate hike expectations, the holding cost of zero-yield assets rises, and the sustainability of ETF inflows is in doubt. 78,000 is the lifeline this week. This is the resonance point of the previous breakout platform plus the 20-day moving average. If it holds, the narrative of 80,000 remains; if it breaks, look down to 74,000-75,000.
Summary of thoughts: During macro headwinds, don't try to guess or catch the bottom; reduce positions by half and wait and see. If 78,000 breaks, then decide the direction. Good news can be late, but rate hikes won't be absent.Recently, BTC has been repeatedly tugging at high levels, with a very obvious market change: the correlation between Bitcoin and gold has significantly increased, with more frequent simultaneous rises and falls.
The underlying logic is that both share the same set of macro drivers: real interest rates and US dollar credit. Institutional funds regard BTC as digital gold, used to hedge against US Treasury and fiscal risks. When US Treasury yields decline, gold and BTC strengthen simultaneously; when yields rebound, both come under pressure, and the inflow and outflow rhythm of spot ETFs also begins to align.
However, it is important to distinguish their attribute differences: gold is a traditional safe-haven asset; BTC is a high-beta asset, and during risk events, Bitcoin’s pullback magnitude will be much greater than gold’s, so BTC cannot be fully treated as a safe-haven tool.
Currently, the market is fiercely contested between bulls and bears.
✅ Bullish: gold is holding support at high levels, ETF funds continue to flow in, and the fiat currency hedging narrative remains;
⚠️ Bearish: Jackson Hole keeps the possibility of rate hikes, high leverage is accumulating at high levels, and a rapid correction could occur at any time.
In practice, do not chase highs. In linked markets, focus on US Treasury yield data, wait for clear direction before acting, and avoid heavy positions betting on a single side prematurely.Where exactly does Justin Sun's money come from?
Let's break down the accounts: just a few calculations will make it clear!
First account: The $4.56788 million lunch was the cheapest advertisement in history
In 2019, Justin Sun spent $4,567,888 to secure a charity lunch with Buffett, setting a 20-year record. What's even more amazing is what happened afterward: he first stood Buffett up, citing kidney stones, making global headlines for two weeks for free; six months later, he made up for the meal, making headlines again for another two weeks. One meal, trending three times.
Second account: What he bets on is never the coin price, but human nature.
Because in a fool's market, the loudest voice is the one that prices assets. Hype equals demand, topics equal buy orders. He's not just marketing; he's making a market for his own assets, using public opinion to make a market, which is much cheaper than using capital. In a market where expectations determine price, those who create expectations always stand at the top of the food chain.
Third account: Issuing coins is like opening your own central bank
In 2017, Justin Sun issued TRON (TRX), raising about $70 million through ICO. What did TRON have at the time? A white paper. This is a business with near-zero cost and an unlimited ceiling.
Justin Sun is just the one who made this business the loudest and longest-lasting.
Fourth account: Enough of the intangible, let's do some real math; he really has a tollbooth business. It's called the TRON chain's USDT circulation.
The most tangible asset of TRON is often overlooked: it has become the world's largest highway for stablecoin (USDT). A single on-chain transfer costs less than $1 in fees and settles in 3 seconds; traditional bank cross-border wire transfers cost tens of dollars and take 3–5 business days. Nearly half of the world's USDT runs on this route. Whether building roads makes you rich is unknown, but tollbooths do collect money.
Fifth account: Fines are called booth fees on his books.
In March 2023, the U.S. SEC sued Justin Sun for alleged fraud, market manipulation (wash trading to inflate volume), and unregistered securities issuance. After a three-year battle, it ended in March 2026 with a $10 million settlement, borne by the affiliated company Rainberry, with no charges against him personally.BTC is currently around $78,200, with a 24% increase over the past 30 days. The trend is indeed strong, but two data points make me hesitant to chase the highs:
First, BTC reserves on Binance have risen to about 687,000 coins, reaching a yearly high. This data shouldn't be directly interpreted as "whales are about to dump," but it indicates more chips are in a state ready for quick trading.
Second, on August 28, the US BTC spot ETF saw a net outflow of about $202 million, ending the previous continuous inflows. The overall weekly funds are still net inflows, so I'm not bearish, just thinking institutional buying is starting to cool down.
More notably, when BTC recently tested $80,000, the spot active buying did not show a clear simultaneous increase. If the price is mainly driven by leverage and short covering, the sustainability after the breakout is questionable.
My plan is simple:
Hold above $80,000–$81,000 with increased spot buying: continue to be bullish.
Range between $77,000–$80,000: do not chase.
Break below $77,000 and ETF continues to weaken: defend $74,000–$75,000.
Right now, I have only one key question:
If BTC breaks through $80,000 but ETF inflows decline and spot buying remains weak, would you chase the breakout or treat it as a false breakout? Why?
