Recently, more friends have been following me, and I feel quite grateful. After talking about the crypto market for so long, today I want to change my perspective and share some of my observations on US stocks. To be honest, I personally don't like trading US stocks. My style leans toward medium-short, medium-term trading, which is considered relatively cautious and stable in the crypto world. But this approach still easily leads to big losses in US stocks. The reason is actually not complicated. Intraday chart analysis of US stocks is almost useless; it's the same with any stock market. Support and resistance below the daily chart have very limited reference value. Stocks there mostly follow macro trends rather than relying on market price games. In other words, using the crypto world's monitoring habits to trade US stocks easily causes repeated losses and a crash in mindset. For example, the recent SanDisk wave that drove global tech stocks to pull back collectively, from both daily and weekly perspectives, was a very clear downward trend. But if you shift the perspective to intraday levels, the battle between bulls and bears can only be described as brutal. The final result looks good, but the tug-of-war and back-and-forth during the process really give your scalp tingles. So my current view is that if everyone wants to participate in US stocks in the future, try not to engage in short-term speculation; either patiently hold onto long-term positions or simply choose to short-trade. My personal judgment is that FOMO sentiment in the tech sector is nearing its peak, and smart money is quietly retreating. As long as the market's risk appetite for gold and cryptocurrencies remains, it will be difficult for tech stocks to return to their previous state of continuously hitting new highs. Of course, this is just a perspectiveAfter taking a shower, I checked my account; the $BTC position is still floating with profit, feeling good.
During the day when Bitcoin surged to 80,500, it was pressed down within minutes. Honestly, I wasn't surprised by this pullback at all. Profit-taking in spot markets happens everywhere; the key is that someone clearly stepped in at the 78,000 level, indicating big money hasn't left. Didn't the CryptoQuant boss overseas say this bull market will still see incremental funds later, and most likely not dominated by Americans? So don't just panic and call the top at every dip.
ETH hit a high of 2,566 today, now at 2,497, a pullback of less than 3%, stronger than I expected. I specifically checked the Lido fee reduction; the management fee was directly lowered, increasing staking yields, which is a real attraction for institutions. I placed a buy order at 2,480, and just now part of it was filled. My position isn't heavy, so I'll keep adding if it drops further.
SOL was really strong today, shooting straight to 105, up 9% in one day. I regret not allocating more. The reason is the governance upgrade, which is supposed to reduce supply. Once deflation expectations come out, funds rush in. Now it’s pulling back to 104; I think around 103.5 is still a good entry, but I won’t chase higher at this level—waiting for a pullback.
I don’t plan to make moves tonight; I’ll keep holding my ETH longs, the liquidation is still far off. If BTC can get back to 78,800, I’ll open another position; I’ll also buy ETH at 2,480 and get some SOL at 103.5.Analysis of the three decentralized trading platforms HYPE, LIT, and ASTER. I have held ASTER and staked it for four years.
1. HYPE (Hyperliquid) — The performance-first all-chain derivatives ecosystem leader
Technical features: Uses a custom HyperBFT consensus mechanism to achieve second-level settlement and extremely high TPS while ensuring full decentralization. With the deployment of HyperEVM, it is evolving from a single DEX into a base public chain with a complete DeFi ecosystem.
Token economics: HYPE is the cornerstone of network operation, mainly used for POS validator staking, network governance, and gas within the ecosystem. Value capture relies more on the prosperity of the entire on-chain ecosystem and the accumulation of TVL.
Core advantages: Deep liquidity, completely eliminating off-chain matching black boxes, strong ecosystem appeal.
2. LIT (Lighter) — A minimalist, efficient, and fully buyback ZK track rising star
Technical features: Built on Ethereum-dedicated zk-Rollup, using ZK-SNARKs to achieve millisecond off-chain matching and on-chain cryptographic proof settlement. Combines RFQ pricing mode with order book, balancing ultra-low latency and market-making efficiency. $ETH Sun Ge has moved, causing the market to shake.
The title of "top escape master" is truly well-earned. Just now, on-chain monitoring detected that Sun Yuchen's associated address, after a full year, has for the first time applied to redeem 5,000 ETH from Lido, worth about $12.3 million.
The most critical point is the timing—ETH just touched a high of 2549 before turning downward, currently falling back to around 2446, showing clear signs of weakness. He had staked for over a year without any movement, but at this crucial moment, he unlocks and withdraws, making it hard not to associate this with the "preparing to cash out at the top" scenario.
Even more worrisome is that he still holds nearly $600 million worth of stETH, corresponding to 243,000 ETH. This scale of chips could be unlocked and flow into the market at any time, like a knife hanging over the bulls' heads. Referring to historical records, Sun Yuchen's past operations on ETH have been precise—selling 39,000 ETH at an average price of $1,870 in June-July 2023, after which ETH dropped all the way to $1,500; starting November 2024, he began withdrawing stakes in batches, depositing them into exchanges at an average price of $3,674. This guy's track record of escaping tops is indeed solid.
The current market itself is not strong, with bears dominating, oscillating around 2450, and bulls' counterattacks are limited. The news of a large holder unlocking at this point has a significant psychological impact on the market. Although 5,000 ETH is not a huge amount relative to overall liquidity, the signal that "Sun Yuchen has started moving" is enough to make short-term bulls wary. Sisters, I was shocked when I woke up and opened my account!! One of my 7 positions is missing, turns out the stop loss for $ETH Ethereum was hit!! 💀
ETH is at 2498 and still rising, my short position is still floating at a loss, but I'm not worried at all!! Go ahead and rise hard, the 2.5 level just can't hold, sooner or later it will fall to 1.9!!
Let's look at the data first. Last week ETH rose more than 30%, and net active buying volume did turn positive. But the problem is — new funds simply didn't follow.
Most of last week's gains came from short squeeze, the largest short liquidation in ETH history pushed the price up.
After a large number of leveraged shorts were cleared from the market, open interest contracts dropped by about 500,000 ETH. Estimated leverage ratio fell to 0.74, a new low since March. Simply put — shorts were all blown out, but bulls don't have money to keep pushing.
Looking at the technicals. Daily RSI is still around 75, seriously overbought. 2,431 is the recent first support; once broken, the next supports are 2,172, 2,042, 2,003. Further down are 1,961 and even 1,809.
Now ETH is hovering around 2,498, still some distance from support, but close to the ceiling.
Total open interest across the network rose 5.63% in 24 hours, total open interest is $34.2 billion. With this volume and overbought technical indicators, a pullback is only delayed, not absent.
The harder it rises, the harder it falls. The 2500 mark just can't hold, I'll keep holding my short position, waiting for it to drop back to 1900!!
Sisters, how far do you think this drop can go?? Tell me in the comments!! 🧋💀$BTC $SOL
#美国核心PCE持平上月，沃什杰克逊霍尔讲话如何定调？ The Fed's message is still worth being cautious about.
What Schmidt means is actually very simple:
The current interest rates may not be high enough, and inflation hasn't dropped to the 2% target yet, so don't rush to think about cutting rates; continuing to tighten is not ruled out.
This is clearly a bit different from the market's expectation of a rate cut in September a while ago. Moreover, the July PCE data gave a reminder: inflation year-over-year is 3.7%, still significantly above the Fed's 2% target.
For retail investors, there's no need to study too complicatedly; the logic is just one:
The stronger the rate cut expectation → the better the market liquidity expectation → the easier it is for risk assets like BTC and US stocks to rise.
Conversely:
If inflation doesn't come down → rate cut expectations cool off → US Treasury yields and the dollar strengthen → risk assets tend to come under pressure.
So don't get too excited about $BTC's short-term ups and downs now.
What really matters is whether the Fed will start cutting rates at some point, and whether cutting rates is still necessary.
If this expectation really changes, its impact on the market could be greater than a single data beat.
The biggest mistake we often make is to start fearing when the market falls and to start #FOMO when the market rises.
In the current macro environment, it's more important not to fully load your positions; keep some bullets. If the market really continues to rise, there will still be opportunities to chase.
But if rate cut expectations continue to be dashed, at least you still have chips to cope.
Don't ever take rate cuts as something that will inevitably happen. Everyone is praising $NVDA, yet Dao Ge opened a short on $SNDK. Why? The AI story is shifting from “who invested in AI?” to “who is actually monetizing it?” Salesforce, CrowdStrike and Synopsys are showing real progress in AI revenue, ARR and guidance. That raises a key question: how much of SNDK’s AI/storage growth is already priced in? Now watch Marvell’s earnings. If network growth fails to keep pace, it could signal that AI spending remains concentrated in a few winners. Will $SNDK keep clim$BTC stalled after breaking through 80,000 USD, the market is waiting for the big news on Friday
Bitcoin just touched 81,270 USD yesterday, and today it has fallen back to around 79,000 USD. This rally from over 60,000 USD straight up
Basically comes down to two forces:
One: The U.S. Treasury launched a big move to buy back long-term bonds, increasing the money supply in the market;
Two: Shorts were liquidated so heavily that it forcibly pulled the price up.
The awkward situation now is that the momentum above 80,000 USD is clearly insufficient. Although spot ETFs are still seeing net inflows, buying power is much weaker compared to a few days ago. Technically, there is a yearly moving average resistance around 83,000 USD, and to break through it requires real money.
Everyone is now focused on the speech by Fed Chair Powell at Jackson Hole on Friday. If his tone is hawkish, this rebound might end here; conversely, if easing continues, 80,000 USD could be a new starting point. In the short term, let's see if it can hold 79,000 USD first.
#伊阿敲定临时航道，美对伊制裁加码 #BTC冲高回落，期权到期放大关口博弈 #美国核心PCE持平上月，沃什杰克逊霍尔讲话如何定调？ $SKHYNIX is investing $3.87 billion in the U.S. to build an HBM packaging base, prompting the market to reprice risks related to the AI core component supply chain restructuring. The division of labor between Korean wafer production and North American packaging has increased intermediate management costs, and the mass production node in the second half of 2028 has extended the capital lock-up period. If demand for data center computing power in North America maintains rapid growth, the ability to absorb premium capacity will boost risk appetite and long positions. Going forward, it is necessary to monitor the actual realization of capital expenditures for this project and the progress of the 2028 mass production node.
#Strategy增发扩充现金，BTC配置节奏受关注 #OpenAI自研芯片亮相，推理成本成关键 #财政部拟用TGA回购，财政压力仍待化解Here are a few news items that the market has overlooked in the past two days but could potentially impact the trends of $BTC and $ETH later on. Although the market is grinding, the underlying capital and macro changes have never stopped.
1/ The US banking industry is starting to form a stablecoin alliance, planning to launch a bank-governed stablecoin blockchain network by 2027. The specific blockchain to be used hasn't been decided yet, but I guess they will most likely build their own consortium chain. This indicates that traditional finance is not just here to join the hype; it intends to enter the market and claim territory. In the future, crypto and traditional finance will be more tightly integrated.
2/ Bitcoin ETFs are still seeing net inflows, continuing last week's momentum. Demand for spot allocation hasn't stopped; this kind of real money is more reliable than many technical indicators. As long as the inflow trend doesn't reverse, the bulls probably aren't done yet, so don't scare yourself with short-term pullbacks.
3/ Japan plans to move stock and government bond settlements onto the blockchain to achieve second-level completion. If this really happens, traditional financial infrastructure will essentially switch tracks directly, maximizing transparency and efficiency. Audit firms should start thinking about backup plans now. This is a long-term potential positive for RWA and public chain narratives.
4/ US debt has already reached the 40 trillion level, and long-term bond yields still have upside risk, which will periodically suppress risk assets and affect the inflow pace of BTC ETFs. But the key point is that the Treasury and the Federal Reserve least want to see long-term yields spike too high. Most likely, they will eventually have to ease monetary policy to support the market; otherwise, US tech stocks won't hold up. Once easing happens, beta assets like BTC and gold will be the most direct beneficiaries and one of the main catalysts for this rally.
These matters may not immediately reflect in prices in the short term, but the direction is worth watching closely. This is my personal opinion and does not constitute investment advice. BTC's current rally is driven by "short squeeze ignition + ETF/spot real capital relay," and it currently looks more like a phase recovery rather than a top; however, it has entered a critical supply testing phase.
The current focus is on three levels:
Around 70.4K: Core defense/short-term holder cost zone; holding this means the overall bullish structure remains intact.
80–83K: First layer of supply absorption test.
83–86K: The real battleground between bulls and bears, also a resonance pressure zone involving multiple on-chain costs, chip supply, order books, and derivatives structures.
Next, don't guess the top; watch the capital:
ETF continues inflow + Spot CVD/large buy orders strong + sell walls gradually eaten away + OI/Funding not overheated → leans toward a genuine breakout.
Price surges, but spot weakens + sell walls increase + OI/Funding spikes → beware of false breakout and phase top.
Current judgment: 🟡 Slightly bullish, testing supply rather than confirming a top. Only a firm hold and absorption at 83–86K will mean further upside potential is unlocked.

Personal research and sharing, not investment advice Market Brief: AI Valuation Logic Shift, Thoughts on Shorting $SNDK Against the Trend
Market Overview
The market collectively favors Nvidia, yet this trader chooses to position a short on SNDK.
The evaluation criteria for this earnings season have changed: no longer simply speculating on AI concepts, the focus is on orders, renewals, and cash flow to verify whether AI business can genuinely generate revenue. Several software companies show impressive AI commercialization data, becoming new valuation anchors.
SNDK has already fully priced in AI storage growth expectations, and the positive factors are reflected in the stock price. There is a risk of "performance realization leading to profit-taking by funds." The trader avoids chasing the market's consensus strong picks, opts to short the crowded storage sector, and prepares an exit plan in case of being wrong.
The next key focus is tracking Marvell's earnings report to determine whether AI dividends can propagate through the entire industry chain or if profits concentrate only among a few leading companies.
Market divergence: Will SNDK continue to rise based on performance, or will it pull back after positive news is realized?
Market Logic
The AI market has entered a phase of differentiation and verification. The era when anything related to AI would rise is over; even fully priced stocks can fall back after earnings meet expectations. Even in contrarian trades, a stop-loss plan must be considered before entry. Earnings from a single leading company cannot represent the entire industry's health; cross-verification with upstream and downstream earnings is necessary. LAB was at 0.069, flat for a week. It fell from $27 to 0.069, a drop of 99.7%. A project once worth billions now has only a fraction left. But if you think that's the whole story, you want to keep it simple. This week, I checked LAB's historical news and found a story even more exciting than the price: a public fund participant entered at $5,000, with a maximum floating profit of $5.6 million. 1,120 times. And then? No then. Because now only a few thousand yuan remain. When the project team was at the top, the team's linked address deposited 18.4 million LAB tokens on the exchange, worth $18.3 million, then slowly sold on the DEX. The price fell from 1.2 to 0.5, a 58% decrease. Then it kept falling. It fell to 0.06. It dropped 99.7%. So what are retail investors doing? Bottom-fishing. Every time it drops a little, someone rushes in to "bottom-fish." Then they get stuck, keep falling, keep bottom-fishing, keep getting stuck. Now the price is 0.069, down 17% over 7 days, 51% on 30 days, and 98.77% over 90 days. With this kind of decline, retail investors' faith hasn't collapsed. The long-short ratio is still above 9, and bulls outnumber bears by 9 times. The market never lacks faith; what it lacks is a reverence for risk. Not all declines are called "pullbacks." Some declines are called "zero reset." Do you think LAB can still rise? A. Yes, it has already fallen completely B. No, it will continue to fall. Discuss 👇 📢 in the comments Disclaimer: This is purely my personal opinion and does not constitute any investmentBrothers, if you have 100 wu in your OKX account to allocate, how would you distribute it??
In the past two months, the market has surged and shaken; BTC jumped from around 62,000 to 81,000 in one go. The increase in August has already exceeded twenty percent, and today it’s still hovering around 79,000.
This rally didn’t come from a healthy state but was driven by a shift in fiscal narrative, nearly 2 billion inflows into ETFs in one week, and shorts being squeezed up. It touched 81,000 and then pulled back, indicating that there are still trapped positions and profit-taking above.
In the next 30 days, my view is that BTC will fluctuate widely, representing a high-level shakeout and chip digestion period.
Because after a sharp rise, the market needs to digest chips, with selling pressure from trapped positions and profit-taking intertwined. The market shouldn’t be seen as a one-sided surge nor an immediate reversal, but more like a wide fluctuation between 75,000 and 83,000, digesting the sharp rise before deciding the direction.
Expected range: 75,000 - 83,000. Only after stabilizing above 83,000 can we talk about surpassing 90,000;
If it breaks below 75,000 and fails to recover, this rebound is considered over.
So based on my judgment above, my allocation logic for this 100 wu fund is:
Spot 25% | Dollar-cost averaging 15% | Grid trading 20% | Dual currency earning 15% | Earning coins 8% | Options 5% | Futures 5% | Flexible funds 7%
1. Spot base position (25% / 250,000 U) and strategy dollar-cost averaging (15% / 1SK Hynix has officially landed a heavy blow in the United States. Today, SK Hynix has launched construction of its HBM advanced packaging production base in Indiana, USA. With a total investment of $3.87 billion, approximately 27.6 billion RMB. This is SK Hynix's first HBM advanced packaging production and R&D base in the United States, and also the first such advanced HBM packaging base in the US. More importantly, the timeline: in the second half of 2028, mass production will officially begin. In the future, this site will be responsible for next-generation advanced HBM packaging, while also developing 3D packaging, hybrid bonding, and other next-generation technologies. Why go to the US? Because the world's largest HBM customers are right there. NVIDIA and a group of US tech giants are aggressively expanding their data centers, and HBM has become one of the most important core components beyond GPUs. What SK Hynix is doing now is bringing the final key manufacturing step of HBM directly to customers' doorsteps. And this may only be the first step. Currently, this factory mainly handles HBM advanced packaging, not DRAM wafer front-end manufacturing. But SK Hynix is already studying the possibility of choosing a U.S. front-end wafer fab site. From producing DRAM in Korea, to completing HBM advanced packaging in the U.S., and then directly supplying customers in North America. The global HBM supply chain is being reorganized. What really deserves attention is not the 27.6 billion yuan. Rather: the world's largest HBM manufacturer is beginning to truly shift its core production capacity to the U.S $SKHYNIX $SNDK $MU Mainstream assets collectively weaken, so why is $SOL the only one holding up under pressure with such a strong trend?
After a surge in the afternoon, $BTC and $ETH both reached upper resistance levels, with continuous sell-offs flooding the market, causing the trend to pull back accordingly. However, SOL did not follow the decline, mainly supported by news of a proposal backing the market.
SOL's double deflation proposal has already gathered enough legal votes, with a participation rate of 33.84%. Once implemented, it will reduce the issuance scale by about $1.47 billion over six years, which translates to roughly 18.9 million SOL.
However, this reduction is not as exaggerated as the market previously imagined. Even if the proposal is successfully implemented, the immediate relief in selling pressure will be relatively mild. The real impact is not immediate; after the inflation curve changes and staking yields adjust, it will indirectly alter the validator landscape, representing a medium to long-term reshuffle.
But if this proposal ultimately fails to pass, SOL is very likely to face a rapid sell-off. Given that it has already seen a considerable increase and is at a relatively high level, do not get carried away and chase in impulsively.
#美国核心PCE持平上月，沃什杰克逊霍尔讲话如何定调？ 都别抢，我来分析！ 最近以太坊社区炸开锅📊，EIP‑8361提案正式公开，核心规则：全网质押率越高，验证节点的质押奖励就会直接销毁，用来抑制越来越高的质押占比， 当前ETH全网质押率已经冲高至34%，超过3900万枚ETH被锁仓在链上。一旦提案落地，质押年化收益率会直接腰斩，整个流动质押LST赛道会被彻底改写。 二级市场盘面，LST相关币种集体出现震荡，赛道24小时总交易额达到1.82亿USDT。 全网合约爆仓4.81亿USDT💥，不少押注LST持续走牛的多头遭遇清算。很多普通交易者压根不知道这个链上提案，只看K线形态进场，完全忽略底层经济模型即将迎来改动。 🔗链上&项目研究解读： 现在大量资金通过LST流动质押协议，把ETH锁仓获取收益，衍生出借贷、杠杆循环，整个LST生态规模高达350亿美元。 如果提案生效，质押收益大幅下降，会出现两种可能性：一部分验证节点解锁退出，质押总量回落；另一部分资金会从LST出逃，流向其他高收益赛道。 但是提案还处在草案阶段，需要基金会、节点、社区多方达成共识，短时间不会直接上线，属于预期驱动行情。 市场解读📈： 币圈最大的风险，从来The current crypto market is shifting from a "short squeeze-driven" phase to a "spot validation" phase.
BTC quickly rebounded from 64,000 to around 80,000 USD, with the first half mainly driven by the US Treasury's expanded bond repurchase expectations and short squeezes. After the large-scale short squeeze on August 19, BTC futures open interest measured in coins dropped by 11%, and the funding rate remained neutral, indicating that leverage has not spiraled out of control again.
What truly deserves attention is: about 86% of the short squeeze fuel has been consumed, but BTC ETFs have seen net inflows for 8 consecutive trading days, totaling over 2.8 billion USD, while exchange balances are declining and wallets of various sizes continue accumulating. If there is a second leg to this rally, it will no longer rely on a short squeeze but on whether spot funds can continue to absorb supply.
The 81,000–86,000 USD range is the core resistance zone. Approximately 8% of BTC supply is concentrated near 80,000–82,000 USD, ETF funds’ average cost is also around this area, and the 50-week moving average is about 81,000 USD. This area combines trapped positions, institutional costs, and long-term trend lines.
Therefore, the most important thing going forward is not "how much it has risen," but whether it can effectively hold around 83,300 USD. If ETFs continue to flow in and absorb supply above, funds may have the chance to rotate further into ETH, SOL, and high-beta assets; if it fails to break through for a long time, the market is more likely to return to consolidation and digestion.
When analyzing the market, don’t just look at the candlesticks; look at who is buying, with what money, and whether the buying pressure can be sustained.
#BTC #ETH #SOLThe main theme in the US stock market pre-market today is clear: money is first flowing into earnings-report tech, not a broad rush. QQQ/SPY are slightly stronger, SMH/SOXX haven't fully caught up yet, IGV is noticeably stronger, so focus first on software security and AI infrastructure expansion. Priority candidates are $SMTC and $CRWD.
$SMTC's earnings and Q3 guidance both exceeded expectations, with a sufficient pre-market gain, but don't chase the first wave; watch if it can hold 138-140 after the open, and delete if it falls below 135. $CRWD's earnings, ARR, and guidance all passed, the security software line has money, and it is only considered strong if it holds 188-190 after the open.
General observations include $OKTA, $CRM, $LITE, $VRT. $OKTA has earnings and upward guidance revisions, wait for it to stabilize at 134-138; $CRM watch if it can break previous highs with volume after earnings; $LITE/$VRT are AI infrastructure expansions following NVDA's earnings, only buy on pullbacks, do not chase highs.
$NVDA today is actually the barometer; if it can lead SMH/SOXX to strengthen, the hardware line will be easier to trade. #财报观察员：英伟达超预期，软件收入开始兑现 Một thông tin mới đáng chú ý ngày 27/8: chính quyền Mỹ đang xem xét một vòng thuế mới đối với ngành bán dẫn, không chỉ đánh vào chip mà có thể mở rộng sang các sản phẩm chứa chip như laptop, máy chơi game và máy chủ data center.

I am Cige. Core PCE year-on-year is 3.3%, matching previous value and expectations, month-on-month 0.2%, GDP remains at 1.5%. Inflation hasn't accelerated, but hasn't cooled down either; the economy hasn't collapsed, nor is it enough for a policy shift. The expectation for a rate hike in September has slightly increased. The market has started to shift focus from whether data beats expectations to whether inflation stickiness can support further tightening.
The speech by Wash on Friday at Jackson Hole is the only thing that can break the deadlock. The market doesn't want a hawkish or dovish stance, but a set of judgment criteria that can connect economic data and policy actions. If he can't clarify, the divergence in rate hike expectations will continue to tear apart, and BTC's oscillation between 78000 and 80000 will also continue.
The direction hasn't changed, but the pace is changing. Cige has finished speaking, savor it. $BTC $ETH $SOL Bitcoin just took its first serious step toward quantum resistance.
StarkWare has successfully demonstrated what it calls the first quantum-resistant transaction on the Bitcoin mainnet.
The transaction used Quantum Safe Bitcoin (QSB), a method designed to protect BTC from future quantum attacks without changing Bitcoin’s current consensus rules.
Why does this matter?
Bitcoin currently relies on cryptography that a sufficiently powerful quantum computer could theoretically threaten in the future.
QSB uses hash-based cryptography instead, creating another possible security path.
But there is an important catch.
This is not a permanent Bitcoin upgrade.
The experimental transaction required direct submission to a miner because the format is not currently relayed by standard Bitcoin nodes. The computational cost is also far higher than a normal transaction. 1
So I wouldn't call this “Bitcoin is now quantum-proof.”
It's better described as a proof that quantum-resistant spending can work on the existing network.
And StarkWare isn't alone.
Blockstream researchers have also proposed SHRINCS, another hash-based approach designed to protect Bitcoin against future quantum threats.
This could become one of the most important blockchain security conversations of the next decade.
Because the question isn't whether quantum computers can break Bitcoin today.
They can't.
The question is whether Bitcoin can upgrade its security early enough before that technology becomes a real threat.

In June, when ETH bottomed at 1500 during consolidation, the panic index fluctuated between 10-20.
In other words, the real bottom does not correspond to the lowest panic index.
The bottom comes from boredom, not panic.
A true bull market start won't be optimistic; when the whole network is optimistic, it's a trap.
In fact, on the day Trump won in November 2024, Bitcoin broke through 75,000, hitting a historic high, and everyone was already overly optimistic.
But in the following month, Bitcoin broke through 100,000, altcoins surged 3-5 times, and XRP and ADA even went up 6 times.
Compared to the real main bull market wave, the current optimism is nothing.
Therefore, as long as the bottom chip structure is healthy and selling pressure is cleared, a bull market can start under any sentiment.
The above three examples can reduce our chances of making big mistakes because we are easily misled by indicators.
The second most important discovery is: indicators are basically useless, better to just flip a coin.$NVDA Nvidia's earnings report released, exceeding market expectations, stock price surged 7%:
1. Revenue of 96.2 billion, surpassing the expected 92.1 billion; adjusted EPS of 2.22, also exceeding the expected 2.09; even the gross margin rebounded from the previous 72.5% to 75%.
2. The Q3 expected revenue in the report is 108 billion, with expectations still rising, indicating they believe market demand has not peaked and there is room for growth.
3. Nvidia's current valuation does not have a large bubble; the PE ratio is about 23 times, and it is estimated that this wave can continue to rise with AI for a while longer.
4. Once the earnings report was released, funds voted with their feet; short-term sentiment is positive, no sell-off occurred, indicating the market still has confidence in the future.
Of course, there are some potential risks, so don't get too carried away. This risk is also mentioned in their earnings report: China's regulatory risk is a looming sword that could cut off a large portion of $xNVDA's valuation at any time. #财报观察员：英伟达超预期，软件收入开始兑现 #财报观察员：英伟达超预期，软件收入开始兑现 NVIDIA's earnings report truly excited the market with incremental information revealed during the earnings call.
Q2 revenue reached $96.2 billion, doubling year-over-year and exceeding the expected $92.3 billion. Data center revenue was $89 billion, up 117% year-over-year, accounting for 92.5% of total revenue. GAAP net profit was $59.688 billion, with a gross margin of 75%. Q3 guidance is $108 billion, above the market expectation of $105.1 billion.
What really pushed the after-hours stock price up more than 4% was the CFO's statement on the call — fiscal year 2028 revenue is expected to grow about 70%, far exceeding the market's previous expectation of 45%. Jensen Huang's exact words were even more striking: the 70% figure is "limited by capacity," and the real market demand growth rate far exceeds 100%.
Several key incremental details: supply bottlenecks will last at least until the end of fiscal year 2028, with shortages in wafers, HBM, and power. Amazon is deploying an additional 2 million GPUs. Vera Rubin is now fully operational. Gross margin is under short-term pressure due to rising storage chip prices, with Q3 around 74% and Q4 bottoming at 71%-72%. NVIDIA has partnered with six major asset managers to leverage $500 billion in third-party capital, upgrading from just selling hardware to a "hardware + rental revenue sharing" model.
The market focus has shifted from "Are there enough GPUs?" to "Do customers have the money to keep building?" NVIDIA answered this with the 70% guidance and the $500 billion financing platform — money is available, and demand is sufficient. The market cap is fluctuating around 80 billion in the short term, with macro liquidity being the core driver. Wishing everyone smooth trading.Market Review on August 27: Today, don't just focus on price ups and downs; focus on three key things — spot capital, leverage, and macro factors.
BTC is fluctuating around 79,000 to 80,000 USD. The real value lies in the fact that spot BTC ETFs have seen net inflows for 8 consecutive trading days, totaling about 2.8 billion USD, with 232 million USD flowing in on the 26th alone. Meanwhile, BTC futures open interest remains steady at about 700,000 contracts, not expanding significantly with the price. This indicates that this rally is not purely driven by high leverage; spot buying is the main support.
On the ETH side, the ETF net inflow on the 26th was about 192 million USD, but futures open interest rose from 13.1 million to 13.53 million contracts, showing that while funds continue to enter, leverage is also starting to rise.
SOL is one of the strongest major coins today, breaking above 100 USD with open interest increasing by about 5%. The strength is real, but it also means that momentum chasing funds are clearly concentrated. Whether 100 USD can become effective support is more important than continuing to push higher.
Macro factors are the upcoming risk point: US July PCE year-over-year is 3.7%, core PCE 3.3%, and the probability of a rate hike in September has risen to about 44%.
So, in the short term, the key focus is whether BTC can hold steady between 80,000 and 82,000 USD. If it holds, funds will have room to continue spreading to ETH, SOL, and altcoins; if not, the mainstream coins will likely remain in high-level consolidation rather than a full bull market.
#BTC #ETH #SOL#交易之声：你的经验值得被听到
Q: When you trade, do you calculate the total risk of your account in advance?
Yes. And what I calculate is not the stop loss of a single trade, but the total account risk.
A single trade losing 2% looks well-behaved. The real trouble usually comes when three trades lose together: spot, futures, thematic coins in the same direction, plus US stocks and USD turning against you on the same night. At this point, 2% × 3 is not 6%, because the correlation suddenly becomes 1.
I personally calculate three things in advance:
First, if all positions hit stop loss simultaneously, how much can the account lose at most. I usually cap this number at 6% to 8% of principal; if it exceeds that, I reduce positions.
Second, how much is occupied by the same logic. If all bets are on AI, or all on interest rate cuts, or all on altcoin catch-ups, that’s not diversification, it’s one bet split into three parts.
Third, whether there is an event tonight. On days like PCE, Nvidia, Jackson Hole, total risk needs to be cut further because slippage and gaps can break through paper stop losses.
My view is simple: survive first, then debate whether the view is right or wrong. Position size is the opposite of conviction; the stronger the conviction, the smaller the position should be.
Many people only calculate "Can I afford to lose this trade?" but not "If these trades all fail together, can I still trade tomorrow?" The latter is the total risk. Today's market looks more like "mainstream recovery + partial rotation," not a full altcoin season yet.
$BTC has returned to around $79,500, $ETH has risen above $2,500, and $SOL is up nearly 8%, clearly outperforming. The capital flow remains the most noteworthy variable in this rebound: the US spot BTC ETF has seen net inflows for 8 consecutive trading days, totaling over $2.8 billion, with about $232 million net inflow on August 26; the ETH ETF had a net inflow of about $192 million on the same day.
However, market sentiment is already overheated, with a Fear & Greed Index of 79, BTC dominance at 59.7%, and the altcoin season index only at 37.
My understanding is that incremental funds are still concentrated in mainstream assets, with strong coins like SOL receiving a high Beta premium, rather than a broad market rally.
Next, the focus is on the $81,000–$86,000 resistance zone for BTC. Whether this level can truly hold will determine if this rebound can continue to spread to altcoins. If prices continue to surge but volume and ETF inflows start to weaken, be cautious of high-level consolidation.
#BTC #ETH #SOL #CryptoMarketBeneath the calm surface of tonight's crypto market, there are actually many key variables. At 20:30 Eastern Time, PCE inflation data will be released, the Fed's most valued price indicator, which often has a more direct impact on risk assets than CPI. Considering the Trump administration's recent intervention in the U.S. Treasury market, the market generally expects this data to meet expectations or even slightly lower, with a low likelihood of a negative shock. If the data is positive, the crypto market and U.S. stocks may resonate upward; Conversely, short-term corrections are inevitable, but the depth may be limited. More noteworthy is that Nvidia's earnings report will be released after the U.S. market closes. As the core target of AI narrative, its earnings guidance influences tech stocks and overall risk appetite, indirectly transmitting this to the crypto market. Friends holding related concept tokens need to be extra patient tonight and avoid heavily betting on the direction before the data and earnings are released. Back to trading, both BTC and Solana are approaching the resistance zone from the pre-May highs, so chasing at this level is indeed not cost-effective. The author's approach is worth learning from: actively cashing out some profits at high levels. For example, Pengu has fully cleared its position near 0.01, Solana's holding ratio dropped from 44% to 30%, and USDT has been raised to 20%, leaving ample room for better replenishment levels. Currently, BTC has retreated about 3,000 points from the high, and Solana and Pengu have pulled back about 8% simultaneously, which is considered a healthy shakeout. If the price continues to decline, it may be worth consideringNVIDIA's earnings report significantly exceeded expectations, with its stock price soaring 4%, once again igniting the AI sector rally.
The company's Q2 revenue reached $96.2 billion, a year-over-year increase of 106%, surpassing the market expectation of $92.3 billion; among this, the core data center business revenue was $89 billion, soaring 117% year-over-year.
The key highlights focus on three aspects:
1. AI chip demand remains highly robust, with the data center business maintaining triple-digit growth; cloud providers and AI institutions have not slowed their computing power investments;
2. Growth guidance was sharply raised, with expected next quarter revenue reaching $108 billion, and a forecasted fiscal year 2028 revenue growth rate of about 70%, significantly higher than the previous market consensus of 45%;
3. Capital is flowing back into the AI industry chain; after the earnings release, NVIDIA's after-hours trading rose 4%, with pre-market gains reaching as high as 7%, driving collective strength in upstream and downstream sectors such as chips, servers, and storage.
The core value of this earnings report lies not in simply meeting performance targets but in confirming that the AI capital expenditure cycle is still ongoing.
The short-term positive transmission path is clear: NVIDIA → SK Hynix/Samsung → TSMC → AI servers → optical modules → power and cooling segments supporting data centers.
Risks also need attention: ongoing pressure from supply chain and storage raw material costs may cause the company's gross margin to decline from the current 75% to the 72%-73% range. $BTC $ETH $SOL #财报观察员：英伟达超预期，软件收入开始兑现 Powell speaks tomorrow, and the script is basically all leaked
He won't be hawkish, won't give guidance, so how will interest rates move?
Don't ask, the answer is simply no one knows.
He will definitely say "fight inflation" with his mouth
Blow the slogan up big,
But there won't be any real substantive action.
The old routine:
Data speaks, the market guesses on its own, and the Fed keeps playing hide and seek.
The key now is this situation—
· Oil price $CL and those geopolitical messes can ignite inflation at any time;
· But they dare not really raise rates, fearing to crash the economy.
To put it bluntly, the Fed now only has a mouth, all talk no action.
When the speech lands tomorrow, the market will actually feel more assured:
Easing expectations remain,
Gold $XAU still has to go up.
I think the new high this week is secured tomorrow.
#美国核心PCE持平上月，沃什杰克逊霍尔讲话如何定调？ Initial jobless claims once again fell below expectations! The job market is scorching hot, $BTC at 79,000 may be hard to hold
For the week ending August 22, initial jobless claims in the U.S. recorded 203,000, below the expected 208,000 and previous 207,000 — the labor market remains red hot. The stronger the data, the more confident the Fed is to raise rates. Schmidt just said "rates are too loose," and tonight's data just handed him a knife.
BTC is under short-term pressure; the 79,000 USD level is easily broken by any news. Retail investors, don't stubbornly bottom-fish; wait for the Jackson Hole policy tone on Friday. The better the data, the sharper the blade — don't reach out to catch a flying knife under the shadow of rate hikes. #BTC冲高回落，期权到期放大关口博弈 #ETH触及2500美元后震荡 History Repeats: From ETH to SOL, the Throne of Public Chains Changes Hands
How extreme was Ethereum in 2021? The dual buff of NFT+DeFi completely clogged the network, with average fees soaring to $53 and complex transactions often costing thousands. High gas fees pushed massive users to low-cost chains like BSC and Solana—BSC's daily transactions reached nearly 4 times that of ETH, with TVL breaking $15 billion. Public chains that captured this overflow traffic enjoyed the largest gains.
Now, the exact same scenario is replaying on Solana.
SOL's quarterly fees dropped about 90% from the peak of $919 million in 2025 to $89.9 million in Q1 2026; Q2 saw a further 44% quarter-on-quarter decline. After the Meme hype faded, daily active addresses fell over 30% quarter-on-quarter, and DeFi TVL in USD terms was halved from its peak.
Meanwhile, capital is starting to seek opportunities across multiple chains: Sui's TVL rose 9.4% in the past 30 days, BSC fees are as low as $0.00001, and user activity on Base and Avalanche is growing against the trend.
Once the whole market was focused on SOL for new launches and Meme chasing, but now attention is diversifying. Just like ETH was no longer the only answer back then, SOL has also stepped down from its exclusive spotlight.
Will the next public chain to capture the flow be the one you are positioning for?
#美国核心PCE持平上月，沃什杰克逊霍尔讲话如何定调？ #BTC冲高回落，期权到期放大关口博弈 Everyone is focusing on the headline: “Ethereum wants to cap staking at 50%.” But that’s not really the mechanism. EIP-8361 is designed to make staking progressively less rewarding as more ETH gets staked. Ethereum is already around 34% staked, up from roughly 29% at the start of 2026. Under the proposal, validator rewards would be increasingly burned as the staking ratio rises, eventually reaching zero net consensus issuance around 50% staked. That creates an interesting contradiction. More sta$SNDK
Brothers, many are asking about SanDisk, so let's talk a bit more. Today, BTC and ETH performed well; Brother Qiang didn't trade SanDisk but has been watching it closely.
SanDisk rose today because Nvidia's earnings confirmed a massive surge in storage demand, which is a solid industry-level positive. Combined with SanDisk's own long-term logic (long-term contracts locked in, high growth in data centers, buybacks), its rise is reasonable.
But the issue is—this rally in SanDisk didn't start today. Before Nvidia's earnings, it had already gone through a big run, gathering a lot of profit-taking and short-term speculative funds. Nvidia's earnings basically added fuel to this logic, but if there isn't continuous new incremental capital to support the sentiment-driven and follow-up orders at high levels, it can easily show short-term weakness after the sentiment is released.
The mid-to-long-term logic holds, but that doesn't mean it can rise anytime in the short term. Even fundamentally strong stocks will pull back; the key is to find good entry points, not to rush in at emotional highs. #美国核心PCE持平上月，沃什杰克逊霍尔讲话如何定调？ 📊 Core PCE Steady But Is That Really Bullish?

#PCEToJacksonHole #AIMonetizationBroadens #BTCOptionsExpiryTest SOL at $104, do you dare to chase?
First, look at the surface: V-shaped reversal, momentum like a rainbow.
It was still at 65 in June, 76 at the end of July, broke through 80, 90, 100 in August, up 20% in 7 days, 40% in 30 days, standing above EMA200, with moving averages in a bullish arrangement. But the daily RSI is already at 80-85, and the price is exactly topping the Bollinger upper band at 105. The candlestick tells you: the trend is right, but the position is expensive.
First thing: ETFs are buying, on-chain activity is running, this is not empty hype.
Spot SOL ETF cumulative net inflow is about $1.22 billion, with a single-day inflow of $33.5 million on August 25, the largest single day since 2026. Total network transactions in July were about 4.2 billion, a month-on-month surge. A whale address dormant for two years bought 96,000 SOL, about $9.74 million.
SOL now is exactly like BNB in 2021: explosive on-chain usage, price just climbing from the bottom, most people haven't caught on yet.
Second thing: Tokenomics is moving towards "accelerated deflation," but many don't understand.
SIMD-553: computation unit fee burning has been implemented. SIMD-550: discussion to accelerate annual deflation rate from -15% to -30%, terminal 1.5% inflation possibly arriving early in the first half of 2029.
SOL's issuance is accelerating its reduction
Fee burning is already devouring supply
If the proposal passes, SOL will become one of the assets "scarcer than BTC"
Third thing: A technical signal has appeared that must be taken seriously.
The candlestick on 8/22: surged to 102, then slammed back to 93—a typical failed breakout. But from 8/25-27, it stood above 100 again and hit 105, the second attempt at 105 was stronger than the first.
105 is the Bollinger upper band plus previous high resistance, hit twice already. But don't forget—the third time is often the real breakout.
Bull vs. bear, you decide
On one side:
ETF net inflows for consecutive days, single-day $33.5 million hitting a yearly high
70% staking rate, extremely tight circulating float
Accelerated deflation proposal on the way, mid-term supply contraction
Daily chart holding above EMA200, moving averages bullish, trend restored
On the other side:
Daily RSI 80-85, price hugging Bollinger upper band, extremely overbought
Up 40% from 76 to 104, huge profit-taking pressure
Failed twice at 105, uncertain if third time will break
Jackson Hole speech imminent, a hawkish comment could slam price back to 95
Resistance above: 105-107 → 110 → 118-122
Support below: 100 (psychological level) → 96-97 (first defense) → 91-94 (structural support)
Trading strategy
Short-term players:
Do not chase at 104-106, wait for a pullback to 100-101 to go long, stop loss at 94.8, target 110-118.
Breakout players:
Go long if daily close holds above 107, target 110-118, add positions if pullback to 104-105 does not break. If close falls below 103, treat as false breakout and exit immediately.
Position holders (longs from 90-98):
Reduce 30-50% at 104-106, keep a base position waiting for 110. Lower leverage before Friday's speech.
Naked short? Not recommended. The trend is still intact, shorting against the trend risks being squeezed. Only consider light short if daily shows long upper shadow + volume stagnation and breaks below 100, aiming for 96.
SOL now is like BTC at the end of 2023—
99% of people think "up 40% from bottom, time to pull back," but ETF funds keep flowing in, pushing from 76 all the way to 120.
On the day of the 105 breakout, you will realize:
It's not that SOL can't do it, it's that you always get off before the breakout.
What's your SOL cost?
At $104, do you dare to chase?
$BTC $ETH $SOL Solana's 10% increase this time may have surprised many friends. Taking advantage of this surge, I'd like to share some of my views on the market outlook. Currently, Bitcoin has not yet broken its previous high, but SOL has already taken the lead in an independent upward trend, showing strong short-term bullish momentum. However, there are hidden risks here: if Bitcoin pulls back, SOL is likely to be dragged down by the broader market. From my personal perspective, those holding leveraged positions can consider taking back some profits, while spot positions should continue to observe; Even if a pullback occurs, it should only serve as a window to watch. Chasing contracts at high levels carries higher risk, so trading is not recommended. The core positive factor behind this round of SOL rally comes from updated proposals for token economics. Inflation is declining rapidly, fee burns have increased tenfold, and market expectations suggest tokens may enter a deflationary cycle ahead. Positive fundamentals have fueled this rally. Looking at the longer cycle, SOL's historical bull market high is around $300. Whether it can break through to this price again depends on whether market funds and fundamental positive factors can be sustained; The rumored 400 is just a long-term speculation in a bull market, not a guaranteed level for the market. If signs of weakness appear during the rise, you can gradually reduce your position in batches. Looking back at the previous day's pullback, it actually gave spot a good window to observe. I've shared in previous posts the idea of waiting for spot on dips. Spot trading is relatively controllable, and the coin's short-term gains are already significant, so chasing at high prices carries a high risk of getting stuck. Crypto trading is all about market judgment and information sensitivityBitcoin's "Realized Cap Impulse" recently ended its 93-day negative streak, turning positive for the first time, marking a reversal signal after the longest capital contraction cycle since the 2022 bear market. This indicator tracks the momentum of realized cap changes and combines Bitcoin's supply with price factors to measure whether the flow of tokens with real economic significance in the market is driving capital base expansion. The indicator turning positive does not simply reflect price increases but indicates changes in the state of capital flows within the Bitcoin network. Data shows that on August 20, the indicator broke below zero when BTC's price was around $73,000 and has remained positive for eight consecutive days. Currently, BTC's price has risen to about $78,900, up about 8% during the period. As of the latest reading, this indicator is 0.198, below the peak of 0.226 touched on August 26. Historical data shows that similar bear market signals have accompanied significant Bitcoin rebounds: after the indicator turned positive in September 2015, Bitcoin rose about 160% within a year; in the 90 days after March 2019, it rose about 173%; in the 90 days after January 2023, it rose about 45%, with a 104% increase in one year. However, the realized market cap momentum indicator is not an absolute signal of a cyclical bottom. Similar reversals occurred in 2018 and early 2022$BTC The Fed's message is still worth being cautious about
Schmidt's point is actually very simple:
The current interest rates may not be high enough, and inflation hasn't dropped to the 2% target yet, so don't rush to think about rate cuts, and even tightening further is not ruled out
This is quite different from the market's expectation of a rate cut in September some time ago. Also, the July PCE came out as a reminder, with inflation year-on-year at 3.7%, still clearly above the Fed's 2% target
For retail investors, there's no need to overcomplicate it; the logic is straightforward:
The stronger the rate cut expectations → the better the market liquidity expectations → the easier it is for risk assets like BTC and US stocks to rise
Conversely:
If inflation doesn't come down → rate cut expectations cool off → US Treasury yields and the dollar strengthen → risk assets tend to come under pressure
So don't get too excited about $BTC's short-term ups and downs now
What really matters is whether the Fed will start cutting rates at some point, and whether there is still a need to cut rates
If this expectation really changes, the impact on the market could be greater than a single data beat
The biggest mistake we often make is to start fearing when the market falls and to get excited when the market rises
In the current macro environment, it's more important not to fully load your positions, keep some bullets; if the market really continues to rise, there will still be opportunities to chase
But if rate cut expectations continue to be dashed, at least you still have chips to cope with it
Never take rate cuts as an inevitable event#美国核心PCE持平上月，沃什杰克逊霍尔讲话如何定调？ The recent rebound in meme coins has made many friends itch to get excited again. Especially tokens named after political figures, driven by a piece of truth or falsehood, have climbed out of the pit, nearly doubling in price and instantly shifting market sentiment from panic to excitement. But behind the hype, a calm look at the chip structure and narrative logic reveals it feels more like a carefully designed "selling rally" rather than a value rebound. Take a widely discussed token as an example: it once surged to a high of $80 on its first day of listing, then fell to around $1.3 within a year, a drop of over 98%. This time, riding on rumors, the price rebounded from the bottom to nearly $3. On the surface, it seems like "positive news is being realized," but a closer look at trading volume and order distribution reveals a classic pattern of pushing up the dump. When the price reached $2.9, many experienced traders chose to add short positions against the trend, reasoning that these tokens lack real fundamental support; the so-called "vision" is more of an emotional symbol. Once the hype fades, the return to zero is faster than expected. Some might question, if the price has already fallen so much, why chase short stocks? This is precisely the harsh reality of meme coins—without a valuation anchor, there is no concept of "over-dipping." Looking at other projects in the same sector, it is not uncommon to see prices fall from $6 all the way to $0.13, with a drop exceeding 97%. This shows that after liquidity fades, prices can approach zero infinitely; every rebound along the way is an opportunity for existing funds to flee, not a new starting point. This is also why people dare to take the heavy price during the early stages of a rebound$CORE Why the BTCFi explosion is inevitable (Part 4)
🌍 The "push" of the macro environment: interest rate cycles and sovereign demand
Two macro factors are accelerating the inevitability of BTCFi:
- Interest rate environment: When U.S. Treasury yields decline, the opportunity cost of holding zero-yield BTC relatively increases, driving capital to seek alternative sources of return.
- Sovereign reserve demand: As of March 2026, governments worldwide hold about $36.9 billion in BTC (accounting for 2.47% of circulating supply). If more countries include BTC in their strategic reserves, demand for BTC yield products will grow exponentially.
⚖️ A cognitive bias that needs correction
Saying "inevitable" does not mean "smooth sailing" or "imminent." The inevitability of BTCFi is more about certainty in direction rather than timing.
As Tiger Research pointed out in their report: for BTCFi to truly explode, three conditions must be met — mature institutional deployment paths (compliance, custody, accounting rules), organic demand replacing incentive-driven demand, and user experience reaching "Apple-level" intuitiveness. Achieving these conditions may take 2-5 years.
Summary: The reason the BTCFi explosion is "inevitable" is not because of any single project or technology, but because four forces — trillion-dollar dormant capital + institutionalization trend + technological breakthroughs + network effects — all point in the same direction. Just like water flows downhill, capital flows to more efficient places; this is an irreversible law!周末行情冲高之后，市场并没有出现太多人担心的恐慌性抛售，反而在第一个交易日里，资金用最诚实的方式给出了态度。ETF 的净流入数据往往比 K 线更能说明问题，因为价格容易被情绪左右，而真金白银的流向，通常代表着机构最真实的仓位选择。 周一的数据显示，BTC 现货 ETF 迎来了大约 3.14 亿美元的资金净流入，ETH 现货 ETF 也获得了 1.8 亿美元的支持。单独看数字或许不够直观，但把两者放在一起比较就会发现问题：ETH 的流入规模相当于 BTC 的 57% 左右，而按照两者的市值占比来看，这个比例明显是偏高的。换句话说，机构资金正在主动加大对 ETH 的配置权重，这不仅仅是跟风，更像是经过慎重考量后的结构性调仓。 那么问题来了，既然比特币和以太坊都在持续获得资金流入，过去几天价格回落时，究竟是谁在卖出？从盘面的行为特征来推测，大概率是杠杆资金在被迫或主动去杠杆。合约仓位在剧烈波动中向来是最不稳定的部分，当价格快速拉升后，获利盘和解套盘叠加，加上杠杆资金的反复，很容易形成短期回调的假象。但底层现货并没有出现大规模撤离的痕迹，这也就解释了为什么价格虽然有所波动，支撑却始终显得比较扎The good thing about using OKX is that you can invest in US stocks while investing in crypto.

1st place: Google $GOOGL
Search cash flow is solid, with Cloud + Gemini + TPU three AI lines advancing simultaneously, and the recent pullback is deep enough. Compared to other giants, I prefer its current growth and valuation combination.
2nd place: Nvidia $xNVDA
Core AI asset, performance remains strong. The problem is market expectations are too high; good earnings reports are no longer enough, it must continuously exceed expectations.
3rd place: $META
Advertising business has strong profitability, and AI can directly improve recommendation and advertising efficiency. Although CapEx is large, returns are visible.
4th place: Amazon $AMZN
AWS is the core highlight, with huge AI infrastructure investment, but retail business will drag down overall profit margin and valuation perception.
5th place: Microsoft $MSFT
Azure + enterprise software moat is deep, but the biggest problem now is not that the company is bad, but that the valuation is not cheap.
6th place: Apple $AAPL
Cash flow and ecosystem are top-tier, but AI commercialization and growth speed currently lag behind the previous few.
7th place: Tesla $TSLA
Robots and Robotaxi have the greatest imagination, but it is also the least certain in terms of performance among the seven companies. The current valuation has already priced in a lot.

However, the fundamentals remain strong: the company's latest quarterly revenue reached $8.97B, with data center business growing 103% quarter-over-quarter; today it also announced plans with Kioxia to invest over $31B in Japan to expand storage chip capacity needed for the AI era.
On the technical side, I will focus on the support situation in the $1,500–$1,450 range. If the price stabilizes above $1,700 again accompanied by increased volume, short-term momentum may strengthen again.
