A large amount will unlock in a few days, it's over [Pharaoh's Market Watch]
Pharaoh says directly, this script is even more surreal than Pharaoh's pyramids. The US swung the sanction hammer at Iran, but oil prices not only didn't rise, they actually fell by more than 2%.
First, military de-escalation happened, and the war premium was removed. The shift from military strikes to economic sanctions means the missiles feared most by the market didn't fly, so panic cooled down.
Second, the good news has been fully priced in, and profit-taking came first. Oil prices already rose over 5% last week, and the sanction news was long digested by the market. On the announcement day, traders chose to sell first.
Third, the market simply doesn't believe in the effectiveness of sanctions. Iran has been sanctioned for decades, and its shadow fleet and currency exchange networks have long been established as countermeasures. As long as China keeps buying, sanctions are just a paper tiger.
Fourth, Iran holds the card of the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian officials directly warned: if the economic war continues, not a drop of oil will leave the Persian Gulf. This standoff of "if you cut off my revenue, I'll cut off your oil route" actually makes the market feel the real risk of supply disruption remains.
What does Pharaoh think? The sanctions are a short-term negative fully priced in, oil prices have corrected, inflation pressure eased, and Bitcoin is catching a breath near 80,000. But as long as the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, geopolitical risk premium won't disappear. Good trades are made by waiting; the direction is clear, no rush to act. $BTC $ETH $SOL #美启动对伊经济孤立，油价为何回落？ Many people don't understand when altcoins will have market momentum, so here is the real capital logic of the market.
Once $BTC, $ETH, and $SOL, these major market coins, start leading the rally, most of the hot money in the entire market will be absorbed.
In this environment, only some tokens within the same ecosystem can get a share of the gains; other altcoin sectors basically find it hard to perform decently and mostly stay stagnant.
Just like recently with SOL strengthening, several tokens in its ecosystem became active, whereas many tokens on the Ethereum side clearly couldn't keep up with the pace.
The real opportunity for altcoins to collectively surge is not when the major market is skyrocketing.
You have to wait until BTC, ETH, and SOL stop and trade sideways without continuously pushing higher; only then will funds overflow from mainstream coins and rotate to speculate on various altcoins.
Don't randomly chase altcoins when the major market is continuously surging; it's easy to make gains on the index but not profit.
Wait for the mainstream to enter a consolidation phase, then digging for sector opportunities will be much more comfortable.
Going forward, you can focus on two directions:
In the Ethereum ecosystem, pay attention to AAVE and UNI
In the SOL ecosystem, watch WIF and JUP
#BTC突破80000美元，能否站稳新关口 [Pharaoh's Market Watch]
Pharaoh says, private messages exploded, everyone is asking whether the $80,000 mark is a quick bull rebound or a bull trap.
Pharaoh's view is simple: 80,000 is a psychological barrier, not the final stop. It has surged over 20% in three days, driven by three forces—the Fed's buyback suppressing yields, shorts getting liquidated to tears (40 billion USD in three days), and ETF institutions frantically buying. Social media is flooded with "The big bull is coming," but Pharaoh calculates: don't rush to jump in.
Key points to watch:
- The 78,000-80,000 range must hold; if the daily close doesn't break below, the bullish structure remains;
- 83,000 is the first hurdle; a valid breakout there opens the 85,000-90,000 space;
- On Friday at Jackson Hole, if Powell dovetails, 90,000 isn't a dream; otherwise, expect sideways friction around 80,000.
Pharaoh predicts a high probability of oscillation and rotation between 78,000-83,000 in the short term. Standard Chartered analysts say 100,000 by year-end is conservative, but Pharaoh has to pour cold water—the historical trading volume between 80,000 and 90,000 is low, liquidity is thin, and choosing the wrong direction will sting so badly you'll question your life.
Strategy? Wait for a pullback to stabilize at 76,500-78,000 before acting; it's a hundred times safer than chasing above 80,000. Pharaoh puts it plainly: good trades are waited for, not chased. 80,000 is just a number; how you make money around it is the real skill. $BTC $ETH $SOL #BTC突破80000美元，能否站稳新关口 A question scarier than BTC rising to $80,000 is: Why does the US have to intervene in the bond market right when long-term yields are under pressure? From the mainstream perspective, this is just liquidity management and stabilizing the Treasury market. But what if we think differently? When the US has to ramp up bond buybacks, the market might be receiving a signal: yields that are too high are starting to become a problem for the financial system and the government's borrowing costs. And this is the interesting part. If yieldsAfter dinner, I stared at the candlestick for a long time; BTC peaked at 81,280 and is now fluctuating around 80,500. Last week, it was still lingering at 64,000, but in a week it jumped 23%, marking the largest weekly gain since 2023. This pace is indeed a bit alarming. The core drivers are three factors piling up: First, the US Treasury is making a major move. On August 19, it announced that the scale of long-term Treasury repurchases would at least double to $4 billion per transaction, effective September 9. Long-term bond yields fell, the dollar weakened, and "depreciation trading" made a comeback. Dalio also spoke out, saying that US government debt risks continue to climb and suggested allocating to gold and Bitcoin. Second, short sellers were collectively exposed. In the past week, all crypto asset short sellers liquidated about $7.2 billion, setting a record high. Short sellers were forced to close out and buy back, creating a stampede rally. Third, ETF inflows are frenzied. As of the week ending August 21, US spot Bitcoin ETFs saw a net inflow of $1.92 billion, marking the strongest weekly performance in 10 months. On August 20, single-day inflows totaled $606 million. But the question is: has the bull really returned? Optimists say Standard Chartered analysts believe this rally could be self-reinforcing, and the year-end $100,000 forecast may be too conservative, even challenging the all-time high of $126,000. Bitget Research Institute points out that if the $83,000 resistance level is effectively broken, it could open up upside to $90,000. The cautious side says there is a large amount of open interest in $80,000 options, and this price level itself could trigger bullish and bearish battles. Some analysts also warn#美启动对伊经济孤立，油价为何回落？ Family, the US has officially launched an "economic isolation operation" against Iran.
This time, the reach is longer, with digital assets, technology, gold, aviation, and shipping all included in secondary sanctions. Basent declared a "zero leakage" enforcement. The Iranian rial has already dropped to a new low of 2,039,000 to 1 USD, warning that a more resolute response will be made.
But interestingly, after the financial confrontation escalated, crude oil did not rise. The market is still watching two variables: whether third countries will cooperate, and whether these sanctions can truly choke off Iran's oil and cross-border capital flows.
For the crypto market, this matter has two layers of impact. If sanctions limit Iran's oil exports, oil prices may rebound, energy inflation will rise again, which is pressure on risk assets. But digital assets being explicitly included in the sanctions scope actually strengthens Bitcoin's value as a non-sovereign asset, and some funds will re-examine BTC's safe-haven attribute.
The market is still pricing the tug of these two forces, the short-term direction is unclear, wait for the actual effect of the sanctions to come out. Wish everyone smooth trading. $BTC $ETH BTC has already risen by 26% in this wave, but the total network hashrate has not increased correspondingly; in fact, mining difficulty may continue to decline within the next two weeks
This indicates that after the last sharp drop, quite a few mining farms with high electricity costs and poor machine efficiency have shut down, and their machines have been cleared out and are now gathering dust in warehouses
Therefore, miners can actually calculate in advance how much BTC they can roughly produce in the next quarter based on their shutdown price, and then buy Put options in the options market to insure their mining income
For example, if your shutdown price is 60,000, when BTC is usually at 100,000, 110,000, or 120,000, the 60,000 Put is far from the spot price, so the option itself is not expensive
But if BTC really falls to 60,000 or even lower, and the mining machines start approaching shutdown or actually stop, this Put option will start to take effect
If everyone bought Puts, probably there wouldn’t be so many miners in debt this yearOn August 24, the United States announced the "toughest ever" economic sanctions on Iran, yet international oil prices plunged more than 2%. Brent crude closed at $92.17 per barrel, and WTI closed at $85.01 per barrel. The sanctions aim to cut off Iranian oil exports, but oil prices "fell instead of rising," mainly because:
· Positive factors fully priced in, profit-taking: The market had already priced in the US-Iran conflict and the risk to the Strait of Hormuz. Last week, Brent and WTI rose more than 5%. After the sanctions announcement, bulls chose to "sell the news" and exit.
· Shift from "military" to "economic": The sanctions temporarily reduced market concerns about "military conflict directly hitting energy facilities." The market believes the focus has shifted from "attacking Iran" to "restricting Iran's earnings."
· Waiting to see enforcement strength: The market is watching the actual impact of the sanctions. Analysts believe that if China does not significantly cut purchases, the impact on Iran's oil revenue may be limited.
However, a $92 oil price does not mean geopolitical risks have disappeared. Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz remains low, and if Iran takes substantive blockade actions, the oil price dynamics will instantly change.
In the short term, this correction looks more like an emotional pause in the geopolitical game rather than a trend reversal. The key variables going forward are the actual implementation effects of US sanctions and whether Iran will take substantive retaliatory actions. $BTC $ETH $SNDK #美启动对伊经济孤立，油价为何回落？ #BTC突破80000美元，能否站稳新关口 BTC突破8万美元，真正的考验才刚开始
Just checked BTC breaking through $80,000, with an intraday increase close to 5%, reaching a high of $81,104. Compared to the expectations in the image, $80,000 is no longer about "whether it can break through," but whether it can truly hold after breaking through.
This round of rise is not just driven by sentiment. The US spot BTC ETF saw continuous net inflows last week, totaling nearly $2 billion, with BlackRock's IBIT single-week inflow around $1 billion; combined with short covering, a weaker dollar, and the US Treasury expanding long-term bond repurchases, liquidity expectations for risk assets have clearly improved.
However, after continuous rises, short-term profit-taking will definitely increase. Next, I am focusing on two levels: whether $82,000 above can break through with volume, and whether the $78,000–$80,000 range below can turn from a resistance zone into a support zone. Holding $80,000 gives the market a chance to continue testing higher; if it quickly falls below $78,000, beware that this breakout might turn into a bull trap.
Additionally, the 2026 Jackson Hole Global Central Bank Annual Meeting will be held from August 27 to 29, and the Federal Reserve Chair's speech may again impact the dollar, interest rates, and risk appetite.
So now we cannot just look at the headline "BTC突破8万". What truly determines how far the market can go is whether ETF funds can continue, whether spot trading can keep up, and whether the $80,000 level can withstand pullbacks. Becent's latest key points: U.S. Treasury Secretary Bescent has recently released several major signals: · Policy characterization: The previous policy toward Iran that relied on "giving benefits for restraint" no longer works; the attitude has completely shifted to a tough stance. · Sanctions intensify: Before this weekend, a major financial institution will be sanctioned over the Iran issue—this is a clear "decapitation" warning. · Secondary sanctions effectiveness: Emphasizing "do not underestimate secondary sanctions," any entity doing business with Iran may be cut off from the dollar system. Bond market operation timeline: No bonds have been purchased yet; the next buyback operation is scheduled for September 9, which differs from the market's previous expectations of "immediate action." · Reiterating warning strategy: believes that "issuing warnings and recalibrating" is the appropriate pace for action at present. 📊 Short-term impact on BTC, ETH, and altcoins: (1) Accelerated enforcement of sanctions, rising compliance fears. This weekend, a financial institution will be "hit," meaning sanctions have moved from "legal framework" to "enforcement phase." The crypto industry has just been included in the scope of secondary sanctions, and any institution involved in Iran-related transactions will face the risk of having its dollar channel cut off. In the short term, this may trigger a market repricing of crypto compliance costs, with some funds potentially withdrawing from small- and mid-cap altcoins for safe havens. (2) Gap in buyback expectations on September 9: Besente clearly stated it "has not purchased any bonds," meaning the previously loose liquidity trading has been overloaded in advance. The market previously bet that the Treasury would act faster, but the actual delay may cool short-term sentiment, with BTC potentially gaining near 80,000Bitcoin was once again flooding social media feeds, with BTC climbing back above the $80,000 mark, making a strong rebound in just one week. After the big rise, the market split into two voices: some shouted that a new bull market had started and urged them to jump in; others calmly reminded that this was just a bullish rebound, and the story of the wolf was repeating. 80,000 is just a psychological threshold, not a trend judgment. We combine real capital, on-chain signals, and macro events to objectively see the underlying nature of this round of the market. The rally is driven by two forces working together. This rebound is not driven by a single factor; it is divided into short covering and spot buying flowing back. Previously, the market accumulated a large number of short positions. After the price broke through key resistance, short positions triggered stop-losses, passive buying closed positions, creating a short squeeze effect, quickly driving up prices and liquidating a large number of leveraged short positions. Meanwhile, institutional funds are flowing back: US spot BTC ETFs saw a net inflow of $1.92 billion last week, the largest weekly inflow in nearly 10 months. Institutions like BlackRock continue to withdraw BTC from exchanges and transfer it to ETF wallets, providing solid spot buying support. With these positive factors stacked, BTC surged past 80,000, driving a comprehensive recovery in sentiment across the crypto market. But behind the highlights, risk signals have already emerged simultaneously. As prices surge, a large number of short-term holders have turned from losses to profits. On-chain data shows that many tokens continue to flow into trading platforms, and profit-taking selling pressure is accumulating. Many trapped traders have taken advantage of this rebound to break even, and whales are selling off in batches at high levels$CORE Don't let this set of "Six Soul Questions" confuse the concepts
Recently, the six soul-searching questions circulating in the community seem logically closed, but in fact, they are all deliberately beautified brainwashing rhetoric. Let's debunk them one by one based on the current market reality.
Miners delegating computing power to Core nodes is just to earn an extra mining subsidy. The computing power can be withdrawn at any time. Miners only look at short-term profits and have no long-term optimism about the coin price. The 5588 BTC staked has not been withdrawn for a long time, only locked in contracts to earn node dividends. Stakers receive stable income passively, and once the risk outweighs the reward, they can unlock and exit at any time.
Leading exchanges setting up CORE nodes is just to seize the discourse power in the BTCFi ecosystem and earn long-term node income. This is a routine institutional ecological layout, not a heavy bet on the coin price doubling. CORE continues to decline slowly and bottom out. Although it won't immediately go to zero or be delisted, the long-term low trading volume and lack of ecological progress are the biggest weaknesses. Don't numb yourself with "it won't die" to rationalize being trapped at a high price.
Bull market 100x coins do experience deep corrections, but 99% of coins that crash and bottom out never return to their previous highs. Don't take the few survivors as proof of inevitable surges. No one can guarantee CORE will never go to zero. The heavy trapped positions, selling pressure, and fake market created by quantitative wash trading are real risks. Blind faith in grand narratives will only get you trapped deeper.
Beautiful stories are always intoxicating, but market capital flows and real trading volumes don't lie. Investment must face market reality and not rely on fantasies to fight downtrends. $BTC ETF single-week inflow of $1.92 billion, the strongest in 10 months, institutions are back!
Last week, 13 BTC spot ETFs had a net inflow of $1.92 billion, the largest single week since October last year. BlackRock's IBIT alone attracted $1.33 billion, Fidelity's FBTC $293 million. August accumulated $2.07 billion, surpassing April to become the highest month since 2026.
This is not retail chasing the rally. A brother working in institutional sales revealed that the main buyers in this subscription wave are allocation funds, buying to hold, with chips settling down. Bridgewater's Ray Dalio publicly recommended "moderate allocation" to Bitcoin this week. The head of the world's largest hedge fund calling to buy BTC is stronger than any technical indicator.
But YTD BTC ETFs still have a net outflow of about $2.9 billion. Whether the large inflow in one week is a trend reversal or a rebound game needs to be verified by data from the first two weeks of September.
Conclusion: Medium-term bullish. Continuous ETF inflows are a fundamental signal. Build positions below $80K in batches, don't treat one week's data as a trend.
#BTC突破80000美元，能否站稳新关口 $ETH short positions trapped at 2250? Brother, you picked the wrong opponent in this game.
Stop fooling yourself. You've been staring at the chart, silently chanting "It should pull back," for three days, while the price rose from 2250 to 2500.
Why can't it fall? Three reasons, each hitting hard.
First, all the news supports the bulls. Trump personally urged Congress at the White House to pass the "Clarity Act," giving crypto assets a "legitimate name." Treasury Secretary Yellen simultaneously announced a massive buyback of long-term government bonds, money flowing out of the bond market, and the ETH spot ETF saw a net inflow of $221 million in one day — all real money buying. Tell me, what could make it fall?
Second, the main force's cost is right under your feet. The "chip explosion" in the chart is crystal clear; 2300-2350 is a dense chip area, with the main force's average cost at 2322. Your 2250 short is basically shorting below the main force's cost — they have an unrealized profit of $135 million, what can you compete with?
Third, as long as the shorts don't die, the uptrend won't stop. 180,000 people liquidated, $3.2 billion vanished into thin air. How many of them are "you"?
How to deal with it:
Light positions should cut losses on pullbacks, heavy positions reduce in batches. If you're liquidated, you don't even have the qualification to break even. Stay alive first, wait for the main force to finish selling, then I'll accompany you to short again.
I'm not telling you to chase the bulls, I'm telling you not to die in the darkness before dawn.
#BTC突破80000美元，能否站稳新关口 #美启动对伊经济孤立，油价为何回落？ #Strategy增发扩充现金，BTC配置节奏受关注 Ethereum's Historical Cycle Rate Projection
⚠️For historical review only, not investment advice. Past cycles cannot be simply replicated, DYOR
Ethereum does not have a fixed four-year halving supply cycle like Bitcoin. It follows the macro big cycle of BTC and is internally driven by three variables: narrative, technical upgrades, and ecosystem explosions. Its volatility beta is significantly higher than Bitcoin's: bull markets see greater gains, bear markets deeper retracements, with historical bear market maximum drawdowns ranging from 70% to 94%.
I. Review of Three Complete Historical Cycles
Cycle 1: ICO Cycle (2016-2018)
- Bear Market Bottoming: DAO event crash, late 2016 bottom, market trust collapse, ecosystem depression
- Bull Market Driver: ICO wave, explosive demand for ERC20 token issuance
- Bull Market Peak: January 2018, approximately $1420
- Bear Market Decline: ICO bubble burst, regulatory crackdown, massive project ETH sell-offs, bottom around $82, maximum drawdown 94%
- Cycle Characteristics: purely narrative-driven, many technical issues, price driven by external financing demand.
Cycle 2: DeFi-NFT Cycle (2019-2022)
- Bear Market Bottoming: prolonged bottoming from late 2018 to mid-2020, DeFi underlying protocols quietly developing
- Bull Market Driver: DeFi summer, NFT explosion; EIP-1559 burn mechanism implemented
- Bull Market Peak: November 2021, $4891
- Bear Market Decline: aggressive Fed rate hikes, Terra and FTX chain of collapses; despite completing the Merge upgrade and moving through "buy the rumor, sell the fact," bottomed at $879, drawdown 82%
- Cycle Characteristics: real ecosystem use cases landing, fundamental upgrades, but macro rate hikes overshadowed positives.
Cycle 3: ETF and Institutional Cycle (2023-2025)
- Bottoming and Recovery: 2023 banking crisis bottom, staking ecosystem continues expanding, L2 scaling rapidly developing
- Bull Market Driver: expectations for BTC spot ETF and ETH spot ETF, institutional capital entering
- Bull Market Peak: August 2025, $4953, new all-time high
- Current Bear Market Phase: after peaking in August 2025, entering a correction cycle, ETH/BTC ratio continuously declining, underperforming Bitcoin, L2 liquidity diversion, US regulatory uncertainty suppressing valuation.
II. Repeated Cycle Patterns of Ethereum (Cycle Rate)
1. Follows Bitcoin's big cycle but with a time lag
BTC halving is the master switch for the entire crypto market; historically, ETH usually starts its main uptrend 6-12 months after BTC halving; bear markets also follow BTC but ETH's retracements are generally deeper and more elastic.
2. Each bull market requires a new narrative to ignite the ecosystem
2017: ICO; 2021: DeFi+NFT; 2025: Institutional ETF;
Without a new story, it's hard to have an independent major rally; relying solely on old logic makes new highs difficult.
3. Major technical upgrades often follow "buy the rumor, sell the fact"
The Merge is an epic fundamental innovation, with burn issuance and elimination of miner sell pressure, but after implementation, the price fell instead of rising.
After full positive expectations are priced in, the event's realization leads to a sell-off; this is a classic ETH cycle phenomenon.
4. Two necessary conditions for bear market bottoms
① Extreme market panic occurs, with massive on-chain staking losses and thorough chip exchanges;
② ETH/BTC ratio falls to historically low levels, relatively devalued against Bitcoin.
Historical bottoms are accompanied by long-term weekly-level bottoming; rapid V-shaped reversals rarely form true major bottoms.
5. Bear market retracement range
ETH typical bear market retracement: 70%-83%; extreme black swan events can reach 90%+;
A full bull-bear cycle, from top to bottom and bottom consolidation, spans about 2-2.8 years.
III. Projection Based on Historical Cycle Rate
History does not simply repeat but rhymes.
1) Time Window
If August 2025 is the peak of this cycle, referencing history, the full bear market bottoming window likely falls between late 2026 and early 2027.
Even if a price low is hit earlier, time is needed for weekly bottoming; panic sentiment and chip clearing are both essential.
2) Two Key Observation Indicators
- ETH/BTC ratio: only when it returns to historically very low percentiles is it a major opportunity zone for ETH relative value;
- Narrative catalyst: the next major ETH rally requires a new engine: RWA tokenization of real-world assets, large-scale L2 explosion, clear US regulation, large-scale institutional capital inflow—at least one must materialize.
3) Two Scenario Projections
- Pessimistic scenario: continued regulatory suppression, ongoing L2 liquidity diversion, ETH underperforms BTC long-term, bear market bottom further declines.
- Neutral scenario: Fed rate cut cycle begins + regulatory clarity, after sufficient time for bottoming, a new main uptrend arrives in 2027-2028.
4) Practical Insights
Do not mistake a quick rebound for the end of the bear market;
Without immersive bottoming and extreme panic, even if a price low appears, it is likely a rebound bottom, not a cycle major bottom.
IV. Biggest Variables: What Could Break This Historical Cycle
1. US SEC classifies ETH as a security; regulatory risk is the biggest black swan;
2. L2 ecosystem continues to divert liquidity, weakening mainnet value capture;
3. Institutions massively allocate Bitcoin, capital continuously tilts toward BTC, ETH/BTC weakens long-term.
$BTC $ETHThe mainstream short squeeze is retreating, but the money hasn't left; it's moving to second-tier leaders. Today, $SOL is up 8.5% in one day, clearly outperforming BTC and ETH—this is a typical sector rotation: the big coins rally first, and when they can't push further, funds look for more elastic catch-up targets. Rotation itself signals a continuation of the market, but it's actually the most dangerous time for those chasing the trade: when you see it surging the most and jump in, that's often when this batch of funds is ready to find the next bag holder. My approach is to treat rotation only as a sentiment thermometer, not as a buy signal. If I really want to participate in the second tier, I wait for a pullback, volume contraction, and a clear stop-loss level, rather than chasing the intraday biggest gain line. Are you chasing the trend, or someone else's excitement? Reasons for BTC's sharp rebound:
1: The U.S. Treasury expanded U.S. debt repurchases, causing Bitcoin and gold to resonate and strengthen together, marking an inflation-resistant asset trend. Pay close attention to Nvidia's earnings report on Wednesday as a key macro turning point; positive earnings could once again drive the crypto and storage markets.
2. BTC ETF saw nearly $2 billion net inflow last week, Coinbase premium turned positive, retail investors shifted from panic selling to buying, with the market driven by a short squeeze plus spot capital inflow.
Technical analysis discussion:
Weekly BTC analysis: Last week closed with a strong bullish candlestick, one bullish candle piercing multiple bearish ones, forming a bullish "gate" pattern; compared to historical patterns, there is a possibility of a false breakout above the previous high of 82,500, a pullback to fill the gap with a long lower shadow, then restarting the bull market. Bitcoin faces heavy resistance between 82,000-83,000; it is advisable to try low-leverage short positions at this level. There is a large amount of trapped positions in this range, making it difficult to break through in one go. This area is likely to become a reversal zone, with a significant risk of correction at the daily level. After a rapid rise, a sharp drop of similar magnitude may follow.

BTC peaked at 79999, just 1 short of breaking the 80,000 milestone

#BTC突破80000美元，能否站稳新关口 #BTC breaks through $80,000, can it hold the new threshold? ##BTC pierces $80,000! Nearly 30% surge in 8 days🚨
The market suddenly surged, with BTC directly breaking through the $80,000 mark, a 24-hour increase of about 3.6%, reaching a new high since May 16.
In just 8 trading days, a violent rally of nearly 30% occurred, the long-suppressed market fully exploded, and bullish sentiment across the network was instantly ignited.
Breaking down this epic rebound, it is driven by three converging forces:
✅ Macro liquidity shift: The US Treasury's long-term bond repurchase scale doubled, long-term yields declined, and liquidity flowed back simultaneously into gold, risk assets, and BTC.
✅ Short squeeze forced by shorts: Over 20% rise in just three days, with more than $4 billion in short positions forcibly liquidated, continuous stop-losses on shorts further pushed prices up, the more it rose, the more shorts were squeezed.
✅ Institutional capital return: BTC spot ETFs saw a weekly net inflow as high as $1.92 billion, institutional funds re-entered to accumulate, providing solid buying support for the market.
The market linkage effect is evident, $ETH also stabilized around 2500, market heat spread, altcoin sectors began to stir, and many are proclaiming the official start of a new bull market.
But the more this is a moment of nationwide celebration, the more you must keep a cool head.
80,000 is not only a psychological integer barrier but also a previous dense trading resistance zone; this is definitely not a place for mindless chasing of the rally.
To truly confirm strong continuation, a pullback to the 78,000-79,000 range with reduced volume holding is required to be considered a valid hold.
After the surge, a pullback driven by "buy the rumor, sell the fact" can occur at any time; high leverage at the top must be cautious, as after a sharp rise, the risk of two-way liquidations is also huge.
$BTC $ETHIf stablecoins just quietly stay on exchanges, they will always be a supporting role in the crypto world. But once it started flowing to supermarkets, subways, and takeout orders, the story changed completely. Have you ever thought that the "stablecoin liquidity" we talk about every day might not even be its most valuable identity? The data for July is right in front of us: crypto card spending has surged to the billion-dollar level, more than tripling compared to the same period last year. Of the ten million transactions, 70% are quietly settled by stablecoins. USDC alone took over half of the market share, while USDT added another 20%. This structure is no longer the old script of "moving bricks between exchanges." When I watch the market, I tend to watch where the funds are going, but lately I've been more concerned about what form the funds are shifting and flowing. Previously, USDT and USDC were fuel for leverage, springboards for entry and exit, shadows hanging beside the order book. Now, they are more like cash in a wallet, used to buy coffee, pay rent, and pay the driver. This shift touched me more than any bullish candlestick. What is truly worth savoring is the battle for infrastructure behind this chain. ETH and SOL are competing over settlement speed, TRX is holding its old ground of low fees, and XRP and BNB are also busy. LINK continues to act as a translator between blockchain and traditional finance. On the surface, everyone is competing over stablecoin issuance, but in reality, they're competing for the underlying tracks of future payments. The market may have underestimated one thing: stablecoins have shifted from trading tools to payment tools, which means demand$BTC has risen above 80,000, and once the whole number threshold is broken, the timeline is once again filled with "new high confirmations, getting in." I currently have no long contracts in my account, nor any short orders placed—not because I have no opinion, but because this level isn't worth expressing with leverage. The daily RSI is above 80, and this week's push from 60,000 to 80,000 was driven by shorts being force-liquidated, not by real buyers putting in actual money at this price. Whole number thresholds have never been a reason to enter; they are just emotional anchors. My capital is invested in spot positions I understand, leaving contracts empty, waiting for momentum to truly fade and give me a more comfortable entry point, rather than rushing to prove I didn't miss out on the last vertical green candle. Are you trading now, or are you just afraid of missing out? $xNVDA Nasdaq six consecutive declines, is it time to bottom-fish?
My answer: Hold on for two more days, this week is full of nuclear-level events.
· Wednesday (Core PCE + Nvidia earnings): The former determines inflation's fate, the latter determines AI faith. Both released the same day; if the direction is right, you profit, if wrong, keep digging.
· Friday (Jackson Hole central bank annual meeting): Every word from the Fed can overturn the market.
Three catalysts packed into five days, acting now is like betting blindfolded.
Action plan: Just watch and don't move on Monday and Tuesday. Wait for all data to settle after Wednesday's market close, focus on Nvidia, Micron, and the semiconductor sector—strong chips mean a real rebound; weak chips, don't catch a falling knife.
Missing the gains in the first two days isn't scary; what's scary is standing guard halfway up the mountain. Wednesday will reveal the truth, so keep your hands tied first.
#马斯克称AI将占SpaceX价值99% When the trillion-dollar dollar buyback of U.S. Treasuries is the only reason to push the market above 80,000? Last night, the U.S. Treasury Department released news that nearly $1 trillion from the TGA account may be used to purchase long-term U.S. Treasuries. The 10-year Treasury yield fell in response, briefly falling below 4.7%. Gold stood above $4,670. Bitcoin has touched $80,000 again after 101 days. Everything looks beautiful. But this time, the strangest part—did you notice? Short-term yields have risen instead of fallen. The 2-year U.S. Treasury yield once dropped to 4.2188%, but surprisingly rebounded to 4.238% by the close. This simply doesn't make sense in the traditional logic of 'reversing operations.' Under normal circumstances, the Ministry of Finance buys long-term bonds and sells short-term bonds—long-term yields fall, short-term yields rise, which is called a "distortion curve." But the logic behind this TGA buyback is: directly use cash to buy long-term bonds, without needing to increase short-term bond supply simultaneously. Long-term US Treasuries rose (yields fell) because someone was about to enter the market to buy in. Short-term US Treasuries fell (yields rose) because the market suddenly realized: once TGA money is spent, short-term liquidity will be drained. Bloomberg macro strategist Simon White hit the nail on the head: this operation is no longer strictly "distorted operations" but closer to "net liquidity injection." In plain language: the Ministry of Finance is injecting liquidity on the long end while pumping money on the short side. Short-term liquidity expectations within the banking system are deteriorating. The traders told Betcent, "The real issue now isn't whether you have the money, but us."On August 18, the yield on the U.S. 30-year Treasury note reached 5.337% intraday, the highest since April 2007. The last time this number appeared on the screen was when the iPhone had just launched, and Lehman Brothers was still a Wall Street giant. No one knew that seventeen years later, history would knock on that door again in a way so similar yet completely different. However, this time, the real concern is not investors, but the U.S. Treasury. In less than 24 hours, the Ministry of Finance took action. On August 19, the U.S. Treasury announced that it would at least double the scale of long-term Treasury liquidity support repurchase operations. The maximum limit for a single operation has been raised from $2 billion to at least $4 billion, covering two term ranges: 10 to 20 years and 20 to 30 years. Implementation began on September 9 and lasted until November 4. After the announcement, the 30-year U.S. Treasury yield quickly dropped from around 5.337% to around 5.19%. Gold $XAU surged to around $4,500, Bitcoin $BTC surged rapidly from around $64,000 to approach $70,000, and the crypto market saw short liquidations exceeding $1 billion that day. It seems this is just an ordinary bond buyback. But if you look a bit longer, you'll find that what really changes may not be the price of a 30-year Treasury bond. Instead, the U.S. is facing a problem it has never truly faced in decades: if the world is no longer willing to lend money to the U.S. at sufficiently low interest rates, can the U.S. remain the same as it once was?#BTC breaks through $80,000, can it hold the new threshold? BTC surged to $81,000 intraday, hitting a new stage high. This round of rally benefited from the decline in US Treasury yields, a weaker dollar, improved expectations for US crypto regulation, ETF capital inflows, and concentrated short covering—multiple positive factors jointly pushing the price up.
However, $81,000 is a strong resistance level with a large amount of historical trapped positions piled up above. After a rapid short-term surge, there is significant profit-taking pressure. To hold this threshold, the key is whether incremental spot funds can continue to take over; relying solely on short squeeze-driven gains has limited sustainability.
External macro factors also carry uncertainties. The US dollar index shows signs of rebound, US stock markets are volatile, and with important events like the Jackson Hole Symposium and Nvidia earnings approaching, large funds tend to be cautious and will not blindly chase highs. Once risk appetite weakens, a quick pullback is likely.
The medium-term bullish trend structure remains intact, but the $81,000 level will not hold easily and will likely undergo repeated oscillation tests. If it can later retest and hold key support, there is a chance to consolidate a new platform; otherwise, a rise followed by a fall will lead to a high-level shakeout phase. Aggressive chasing of highs is not suitable; focus on observing the interaction between spot funds and external markets.
Trading strategy: buy on a pullback to $79,000 directly #交易之声：你的经验值得被听到 $BTC $ETH $OKB $ETH [Hyperliquid's largest long position leader] took profit and closed positions early this morning with 60,000 ETH + 1,200 BTC. Realized profit is $45.3 million.

◎ All 120,000 ETH long positions have been closed for profit, earning $32.77 million.

1. The current price difference between OKX and the neighboring exchange is because OKX has already closed NES deposits and withdrawals, so basically no one is trading, causing this. Those holding spot, run quickly.
2. This kind of complete Rug pull to zero can just be treated as a Meme play. Those who bottom-fished last night took the chips, someone has to pay. Who will buy? In the end, it can only end unresolved PvP.
3. Also, the NES project team’s behavior is a bit ugly; they transferred coins into the exchange and sold them off in the morning, then withdrew liquidity and Rugged in the evening, no pretense at all.
4. It’s still responsible of a big exchange like OKX to have suspended NES deposits early, probably because they detected abnormalities in the project team, very commendable!
Brothers who want to touch it, just treat it as a meme play, don’t expect it to re-anchor Many people overlook a reality: after the same round of rally ends, the shakeout logic of BTC and ETH is completely different.
A large portion of $BTC chips belong to long-term dormant holders. After a big surge, major holders tend to hold and wait rather than sell off in large quantities. The pullback mainly comes from liquidation shocks caused by contract leverage, resulting in a relatively mild downward rhythm. ETH chips have much higher liquidity. After a significant rally, swing profit-taking and unlocked staked floating chips will concentrate on fleeing. Even if the overall market does not show obvious deterioration, $ETH will still experience an independent retracement.
This is the tormenting part of the high-level phase: the overall market looks relatively stable, but the ETH retracement on hand exceeds expectations. Do not simply use BTC's resistance to decline to predict ETH's support strength. In a high-level oscillation market, ETH's support will be more fragile. When trading with leverage, position size and stop-loss standards must be treated differently for the two coins; one set of parameters cannot be universally applied.#BTC breaks through $80,000, can it hold the new threshold? Good afternoon everyone!
$BTC BTC Bitcoin
This round of rally is driven by three factors: liquidity easing from US Treasury repos, expectations for US crypto legislation, and short squeeze. The price has surpassed the $80,000 mark, with spot ETF funds flowing back and institutional capital leading the market. Positioned as digital gold, the total supply of 21 million coins and deflationary narrative remain unchanged, with no operational cash flow. In the short term, there is historical trapped volume between $80,000 and $83,000; continuing the upward attack requires sustained incremental capital. If the legislation falls short of expectations or US Treasury yields rebound, a rapid correction may occur. Among the three, BTC has the strongest liquidity and relatively lower volatility, serving as the market indicator for the entire crypto space. Major market turning points are usually confirmed by BTC first.
$ETH ETH Ethereum
Considered a mainstream coin catching up, with beta higher than BTC, the price has stabilized above $2,400. It benefits from improved regulatory expectations, PoS staking lock-up remains high, and RWA and DeFi activity have slightly warmed up. However, L2 continues to divert mainnet traffic, and mainnet fees have not surged in line with the coin price, indicating limited fundamental improvement. The biggest tail risk remains the SEC's classification of ETH as a security. Derivatives leverage positions have risen, increasing liquidation risk; the upward momentum is strong, but the magnitude of pullbacks is significantly greater than BTC. It lacks an independent trend and its movement is highly correlated with the BTC market.
$SOL SOL (Solana)
This round shows the highest elasticity among the three, belonging to the public chain sector's offensive category. On-chain DEX and RWA tokenized trading volumes are impressive, network stability continues to improve, and technical upgrades boost market sentiment. The ecosystem simultaneously supports MEME coins, high-frequency trading, and real asset tokenization, with high user activity. However, inflationary pressure release remains, tokens continue to unlock and sell off, retail holders hold a large share, and volatility is much greater than BTC and ETH. The upward phase sees sharp gains, but when the market weakens, the pullbacks are the deepest. Liquidity is weaker than the other two, with frequent spike phenomena. The market is influenced by macro policies and highly dependent on on-chain ecosystem heat, making it a high-elasticity, high-risk speculative public chain asset.
Overall, this is a rebound driven by expectations rather than a complete fundamental reversal. Going forward, focus will be on US Treasury data and the progress of the CLARITY Act.$OKB rose 8.27% in one day, and Intercontinental Exchange's card is not yet played!
OKB is currently priced at $119.55, up 8.27% in 24 hours, outperforming BTC and ETH directly. Don't just focus on mainstream coins; OKB's alpha characteristics are becoming increasingly obvious.
The core logic remains the same: In August 2025, OKX will burn 65.26 million OKB tokens in one go, permanently locking the total supply at 21 million, cutting supply + deflation. Now OKB is the only Gas token on the X Layer; the more active the on-chain activity, the greater the consumption, the less the supply.
But the real potential lies in the crossover with traditional finance. Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) invested in OKX at a $25 billion valuation and secured a seat on the board. ICE plans to connect NYSE-level market infrastructure to OKX, launch compliant futures pegged to OKX crypto prices, and is preparing to open NYSE tokenized stocks to about 120 million OKX users.
Now Coinbase has also launched tokenized stocks like Apple and Nvidia on the Base chain, allowing 24/7 trading without brokerage accounts. This indicates that the "traditional financial assets going on-chain" track is starting to gain momentum — and behind OKX stands ICE, the parent company of NYSE, a narrative not yet fully priced in.
In the short term, OKB liquidity is not as good as BTC/ETH, with more volatility. But with the deflationary model + ICE endorsement + tokenized assets on-chain, the triple narrative overlap means once market sentiment picks up, the elasticity far exceeds that of mainstream coins.
Don't just allocate mainstream coin positions heavily into OKB Still holding the short position at BTC 76000? Above 83000, 455 million shorts are lining up with you for the execution, how to resolve?
It's not that you're slow to run, but the ground beneath your feet has already collapsed. $950 billion is flowing from the Treasury account into the market.
BTC current price is 80800, the 76000 short position is floating with a loss of 4800 points. If last week you thought "I can still hold on," today you need to rethink. Because in the past 72 hours, the macro logic has been completely rewritten.
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen dropped a nuke: clearly considering using about $950 billion from the Treasury's general account to expand U.S. debt repurchase orders. The repurchase scale doubled on August 19, and the market was only excited for one day—because no one knew where the money came from. Now the answer is revealed, Arthur Hayes directly states: Yellen is replicating the liquidity injection script.
Money flows into the market, BTC rises 23% in a week, from 60,000 to 80,000.
Your short at 76000 has become history. BTC continues to surge after hitting 80,000, and at 83,000 there are still 455 million shorts waiting to be liquidated. You are not alone holding on—455 million shorts stand with you, but they are closer to liquidation than you.
Three paths, choose one to survive:
Cut half: close half of the short position at the current price, set stop loss for the remaining half at 81500-82000. Losing 4600 points hurts, don't let it become 10000.
Lock and hedge: open an equal number of long positions to hedge, wait for resistance at 83,000 and a pullback before exiting. You need bullets to use.
$BTC U.S. Treasury Secretary states: No bond purchases have started yet; actual operations will wait until September 9.
This means no substantial liquidity injection in the next two weeks, relying entirely on market expectations.
U.S. Treasuries are the anchor of global assets, so the crypto market will be more sensitive to macro news. $ETH
The official bond purchase on September 9 will be a form of indirect easing, beneficial for BTC and altcoins in the mid-term. $BTC
But before that, it’s all about expectation-driven trading; keep positions small and enjoy, don’t fall before dawn. $ZEC
#ZEC创站内历史新高，隐私资产重估 #杰克逊霍尔临近，沃什能否明确政策路径 BTC Analysis on the $68,000–$70,000 Pullback
Following @Murphy's on-chain analysis, I also favor BTC first retesting the midline before gathering strength to push upward.
🔻 Three Core Logic Points
1️⃣ Bottom chip loosening: The largest peak at $63k dropped from 1.22 million to 985,000 coins, profit-taking exits, increasing upward resistance.
2️⃣ Intense high-level turnover: $77k–$78k triggered the strongest realization in nearly half a year, with 320,000 BTC absorbed between $76k–$77k within 3 days, requiring time to digest.
3️⃣ Double anchor structure formed: Upper and lower chip peaks ($76k–$77k and $62k–$63k) established, the midline $68k–$70k is highly likely to become the pullback target.
⚠️ But don't ignore bullish signals
Whales have increased holdings by about 46,000 BTC in the past 60 days, ETF weekly inflows near $2 billion, the long-term trend remains healthy. The short-term pullback under overbought conditions (RSI 70.85) is precisely a structural accumulation opportunity.
🧠 Summary
Patiently wait for turnover at $76k–$77k to complete; if it pulls back to $68k–$70k, it will be an excellent right-side entry point.
DYOR, pay attention to risks.
#Bitcoin #BTC #Crypto #TradingStrategy #TechnicalAnalysisNVIDIA has fallen for seven consecutive days!
This Wednesday, NVIDIA will release its latest earnings report, and the market is worried that the "NVIDIA earnings curse" will appear again. In the previous four quarters, although NVIDIA's performance significantly exceeded analysts' expectations, the stock price dropped within 1-2 trading days after the earnings release.
NVIDIA's performance is related to the entire AI narrative; it not only needs to exceed expectations but also bring surprises, otherwise it is negative news. This is also the reason why NVIDIA has fallen for seven consecutive days, dragging down AI hardware stocks.
$BTC $ETH $SOL On August 24, the U.S. Treasury officially launched the "Economic Orphan Action," which the White House called the "Economic Normandy Landing Day" against Iran.
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen announced that all remaining economic lifelines of Iran, including digital assets, gold, shipping, aviation, and technology, would be cut off, and secondary sanctions threats would be expanded, warning that any country or company continuing to trade with Tehran would face isolation from the dollar system.
This should have raised the supply risk premium, yet oil prices fell by more than $2 that day—Brent dropped to around $92, and WTI fell to about $85.
First, it was profit-taking. Last week, oil prices had risen more than 5% due to stalled negotiations and concerns over the Strait of Hormuz navigation, with the market already pricing in expectations of "tougher sanctions."
When the sanctions were actually implemented, the details largely overlapped with previously leaked information, lacking a "new shock" sufficient to change the supply-demand balance, so bulls naturally chose to take profits.
Second, the market remains cautious about actual enforcement. Although the threat of secondary sanctions is severe, core buyers like China were not named, nor was a specific timeline immediately set.
China has long absorbed about 90% of Iran's oil exports, often at discounted prices, so the marginal effect of sanctions is discounted by the market. Iran has been accustomed to surviving under sanctions for decades, and short-term supply cut expectations are not strong.
Furthermore, global demand remains weak, especially with sluggish Chinese import data, combined with the buffer from previous strategic reserve releases, so the physical market has not experienced immediate tightness. Prices reflect more of an "expectation gap" rather than an actual supply disruption.
#美启动对伊经济孤立，油价为何回落？ Dogecoin delivered an impressive performance in the past 24 hours, rising 33%, with its price consolidating at high levels between $0.092 and $0.093. The background of this rally is quite delicate: Bitcoin itself is strong, but driving BTC upward requires real institutional capital, whereas MEME coins have a completely different logic—retail investor sentiment and buying are enough to ignite it. This structural difference precisely explains why DOGE stands out as particularly active among mainstream coins. Looking at market details, the highest and lowest prices in the 24 hours were $0.094 and $0.089 respectively, showing a fairly narrow fluctuation range. It is worth noting that trading volume has clearly declined compared to the previous explosive surge. This high-level consolidation in a state of shrinking volume is more like a turnover among profit-takers, rather than a signal of a trend reversal. After all, since the price has risen from around $0.074, the cumulative increase has exceeded 25%. It is only natural for some early positions to cash in safely, which is a natural market behavior. Technically, DOGE is currently firmly holding above the 50-day exponential moving average (around $0.074 to $0.075), which serves as an important support for short-term bullish structure. However, the 200-day EMA above (around $0.095 to $0.100) acts like an invisible ceiling, limiting further upside potential. In other words, the medium-term trend has not yet been confirmed; the current strength is closer to a linked market that follows Bitcoin's rhythm—when BTC rises, DOGE follows suit; BTC enters$BTC recently broke through $80,000, with the latest price once approaching above $80,000, rising about 23.6% over the past week, becoming one of the strongest assets in the crypto market recently. After the rapid surge, market focus has shifted from "whether it can break through" to "whether it can hold steady." This round of increase is driven by multiple factors. After the U.S. Treasury expanded its bond repurchase operations, long-term U.S. Treasury yields and the dollar temporarily declined, improving market liquidity expectations and supporting risk assets. At the same time, short positions were concentrated in the market earlier, and after the price broke through key resistance, large-scale liquidations were triggered, further amplifying short-term buying. Data shows that recent crypto market short liquidations exceeded $3 billion, with a clear short squeeze effect. More importantly, spot ETF funds are flowing back. Previously, U.S. spot $BTC and $ETH ETFs recorded a combined weekly net inflow of about $2.6 billion, with BTC ETFs netting about $1.9 billion. Compared to price increases relying solely on contract leverage, the spot demand brought by ETFs better improves the market supply-demand structure and provides a more solid capital foundation for Bitcoin to break through $80,000. However, $80,000 is not an ordinary price level. As an important round number threshold, it carries psychological pressure and may also gather previous trapped positions and profit-taking. If Bitcoin can maintain volume during consolidation at high levels and receive spot fund support on pullbacks, $80,000 is likely to turn from a resistance level into a new support level, and the market may further test higher levels. Conversely, if ETF inflows slow down 比特币在快速拉升触及七万八千八百美元之后，回落到七万七千美元附近反复拉锯，整体重心依然维持在近期高位。这种冲高后的横盘整理，本质上是从逼空行情过渡到趋势修复的必经阶段，市场需要时间消化前期积累的获利盘，同时也为下一轮方向选择蓄力。 从资金面看，上周现货ETF的表现相当亮眼，净流入总额大约二十六亿美元，其中比特币贡献了十九亿，以太坊也有六亿九千七百万的进账，创下去年十月以来单周最强吸金纪录。机构资金在七万七千美元上方持续买入，叠加空头回补带来的现货买盘协同，是本轮上涨的重要推手。这种结构性的买入行为，说明主流资金并不认为当前价格已经透支。 七万七千美元这个位置，现在成了多空双方激烈争夺的焦点。只要价格能够守住这里，上升趋势的技术形态就没有被破坏；但若失守并滑落到七万五千美元下方，则意味着短期调整的深度可能超出预期，需要重新评估节奏。眼下最值得观察的变量，是ETF资金能否继续承接高位抛压。如果流入保持惯性，市场便有条件从逼空行情平滑过渡到趋势性修复；一旦流入放缓，前期快速上涨积累的兑现压力和高杠杆波动风险就可能重新抬头。 方向没有改变，变化的只是步伐。资金是否持续进场，决定了这轮行情的韧性Meta Vaults of Term Finance suffered a governance attack on August 23. On-chain data and security teams estimate that about 2,843 ETH and 1.68 million USDC were transferred, totaling approximately $8.5 million, accounting for roughly 68% of the assets before these vault attacks. Term Labs subsequently permanently closed Meta Vaults' deposit portals and revoked related governance privileges, but allowed withdrawals; The team stated that the underlying lending market has not yet been affected. What makes this incident special is that the attacker did not seem to bypass inspections through traditional contract vulnerabilities, but instead secured enough governance votes. On-chain observers believe that voting rights are highly concentrated or sparse, and after the attacker gains a majority, they propose to gain control of the treasury. Term Labs has not yet released a complete review, so the exact method of obtaining it should still be subject to the official final conclusion. The issue is not whether the contract executed the voting results. Instead, contracts may be executed as designed. The real imbalance is the price of authority: if the cost of buying governance control is less than the asset that authority can mobilize, rational attackers will treat the vote as a purchase. Audit code can only confirm how rules operate and cannot replace checks on governance thresholds, vote distribution, and economic incentives. High-risk operations cannot rely solely on the "majority of voters." More robust designs require setting a sufficiently high quorum for total supply, allowing proposals to enter a time lock and allowing for independent securityBitcoin and Ethereum have once again become centers of capital aggregation in recent markets, with BTC once reaching $79,500 and ETH climbing back above the $2,500 mark. 📈 However, beneath the seemingly warming market, altcoin performance showed clear divergence. Tokens like H, LAB, KAITO, BEAT, and SNDK remained weak and failed to keep pace with mainstream assets. The underlying tone of this rally is not broad-based rally, but rather a concentrated shift of funds toward large-cap assets. From the spot market perspective, altcoins overall face difficulties such as thin liquidity and insufficient buying support. Some projects also face pressure on their own token supply, making it difficult for prices to be effectively boosted even when mainstream assets strengthen. Structural differentiation within the market illustrates this even more than the numbers at the index level. It is worth noting that capital flow data also confirms this trend. BTC and ETH spot ETFs attracted a combined net inflow of about $2.6 billion over the past week, which is not small in the recent market. Institutional capital's preference for leading assets is directly reshaping the market's risk appetite structure. For ordinary participants, this selective capital rotation means that market opportunities are more concentrated in a few key assets. From the current landscape, rather than expecting a so-called knockoff season that will flourish across the board, it is better to pragmatically observe the rotation rhythm of capital between mainstream assets and individual high-quality projects.

Woke up to $BTC at 80,000, but I don't dare to chase it anymore.
Last night before bed it was 79,000, thinking maybe it could hit 80,000 tomorrow. Turns out it really did hit 80,000.
This wave pulled from 64,000 to 81,280, gaining 25% in a week. Shorts got liquidated for 4 billion dollars, $ETH saw inflows of 1.92 billion in a week, plus the Treasury doubled its bond buybacks, the dollar weakened, and money flowed into BTC.
But honestly, I'm a bit hesitant at this level. There are about 100 million dollars in sell orders stacked near 80,000. On Friday at the Jackson Hole annual meeting, Powell will speak for the first time; if dovish, it could keep rising, if hawkish, it might crash back to 73,000. As of August 25, 2026, the "$2 trillion" valuation surrounding Anthropic's IPO is not the company's official target but an expectation released to the media by investment institutions. This article reviews the exact source, supporting logic, and risks behind this figure for readers' independent judgment. 1. First, clarify the source: Who said the $2 trillion? Around August 13, 2026, Fortune and Financial Times reported that six Anthropic investors told FT they expect Anthropic to seek a valuation of $2 trillion or even higher in its IPO around October 2026. There are three key facts to emphasize here: 1. This is an investor's expectation, not a company's guidance. FT's report clearly points out that even Anthropic executives have not yet determined the IPO valuation range even in private; this figure is entirely driven by "investor rumor mill." 2. Expectations are inflating rapidly. When Anthropic secretly submitted its IPO filings to the U.S. SEC on June 1, 2026, the market generally expected a valuation of about $1 trillion, roughly in line with its private equity valuation; just over two months later, investor prices had doubled. #BTC breaks through $80,000, can it hold the new threshold?
The leader has something to say
Every day is a new high!
BTC really stood above 80,000.
Last night, I entered at 78,130 and exited at 79,500 during the live stream. This morning when I woke up, it went straight above 80,000. This short squeeze started from 64,000, pushing to 80,000 in two weeks, leaving shorts scattered everywhere.
The significance of 80,000
This is a psychological barrier. For retail investors, 80,000 is an integer milestone after breaking out from the 60,000 consolidation zone, which will attract more watchful funds to enter. For institutions, 80,000 is a trigger point for position rebalancing, bringing new allocation demands. The key is not just reaching 80,000, but whether it can hold. The volume after the US stock market opens tonight will provide the first verification signal.
Last week's ETF data supports this level
The US spot Bitcoin ETF had a net inflow of $1.92 billion last week, the largest single-week inflow in nearly 10 months. BlackRock's IBIT alone accounted for a large proportion. Institutions are not here for short-term speculation; they are confirming the direction with real money.
Pressure is also accumulating
The profit ratio of short-term holders has risen, and inflows on trading platforms have started to increase, indicating some are selling. Around 80,000, there is a large amount of profit-taking and trapped positions exchanging hands, so volatility will not be small. Whether it can hold depends on two things: whether spot trading volume can continue to expand, and whether 80,000 can turn from resistance into support.
Critical events are concentrated
Wednesday's PCE, Friday's speech by Waller at Jackson Hole, plus Nvidia's earnings report. Any unexpected outcome from these three could trigger major volatility. If PCE is moderate, Waller is not hawkish, and Nvidia exceeds expectations, 80,000 will be a new starting point. If any one of these disappoints, a pullback to 75,000-76,000 is also normal.

Whale address: 0x5b5d51203a0f9079f8aeb098a6523a13f298c060 $BTC This time, it really broke through $80,000. At the time of writing, the price was still around $80,800, with an intraday high of $80,957. On August 18, it was only hovering around $64,200, up nearly 26% in a week. This is no longer the usual small rebound. Seeing such a big bullish candlestick, many people's first reaction is definitely that the bull market is back. I wasn't in a hurry to stamp it, because a single bullish candlestick only shows that buyers have been in a hurry these past few days. It can't guarantee anything for the market going forward. At times like this, positions tend to get too excited and over-increase. But this time can't simply be called a pull; there is indeed money buying behind the scenes. Last week, US spot Bitcoin ETFs saw net inflows for five consecutive trading days, totaling about $1.92 billion, the strongest week in nearly 10 months. On August 20 alone, $606 million was inflowed—much more substantial than the buying calls on social media. In the first half of the rally, bears also helped out on their own. The market has been worn down at low levels for too long, with more and more positions betting on selling. Once prices break through resistance, stop-losses and forced liquidations force them to buy back, so the market expands faster and faster, making it seem like no one can stop it. The US Treasury is expanding long-term Treasury repurchases, prompting the market to reconsider liquidity. This money isn't directly used to buy Bitcoin; it changes expectations about whether liquidity will loosen later. Those who previously didn't dare to touch risk assets have started to recover, and with short covering, this bullish candlestick is pushed even higher. Spot and ETF buyingAfter $BTC broke through the psychological barrier of $80,000, the core market conflict lies in the risk appetite expansion expected from the vote on the Clarity Act on September 15, versus the potential squeeze on high positions due to the stability of U.S. Treasury yields.
Currently, the market shows a divergence between native funds being bullish and traditional funds reducing positions on rallies. Conservative holders anchor their ideal buying range between $65,000 and $70,000, while the bulls' target has pointed to $90,000.
In terms of driving factors, the progress of the Congressional vote on the Clarity Act ranks first, followed by the sustainability of ETF inflows, with the stability of the U.S. Treasury environment serving as the fundamental fuel ensuring the security of the capital chain.
The bullish scenario requires the bill to pass and ETF net inflows to remain strong. At this point, risk appetite will be activated, pushing prices up to $90,000. However, if U.S. Treasury yields spike abnormally, this bullish logic will immediately fail.
The bearish scenario corresponds to volatility in U.S. Treasuries or obstacles in advancing the bill. Profit-taking at high levels will trigger short-term shakeouts, with prices retreating to test the $65,000 support level. If ETFs continue large counter-trend inflows, the downtrend will end.
A signal that the main thesis has failed will be the capital movement during the October window after the midterm elections. If Bitcoin cannot maintain independent liquidity during the U.S. stock market adjustment, the optimistic bottom rebound hypothesis needs to be reassessed.
In the next 7 days, key observations include changes in U.S. Treasury yields, daily ETF net inflow magnitude, and shifts in Congressional sentiment before the September 15 bill vote.
#ETH触及2500美元后震荡 #美启动对伊经济孤立，油价为何回落？ #ZEC创站内历史新高，隐私资产重估BTC touched $81.3k, current price about $80.7k. Retail investors are asking if it can hold steady; Market makers are asking—who is buying above 80k. BTC surged to $81.3k during the day, now about $80.7k. The market is all flashing "breaking 80,000." Let me look at it from another angle: if I were a market maker, what I care about most isn't the gain, but whether I transfer chips to stronger hands or dump shares to those chasing the rally. Let's look at the structure first. In the past six months, about 110 trading days have closed below 80k; In the past 60 days, the price has closed above 80k, only once. In 7 days, it's up about 24%. It's easy to reach the threshold; holding the level is expensive. Plain language translation: today's bullish candlestick looks more like a "test trade" and not a "new platform confirmation." Now let's look at the real buy orders. Public data: US spot BTC ETFs saw a net inflow of about $1.92B last week, the strongest week in nearly 10 months — this is the spot buying favored by institutional investors. Futures OI is about $2.3B, 7-day +10%, with a fee rate of only +0.01%. Some are adding positions, but retail investors haven't filled the long positions yet. With this combination, breakouts can continue; Once OI alone increases and spot volume shrinks, above 80k will become a selling zone. The yellow line is 80k. The offline shadow has been the main battleground over the past six months. Touching and stabilizing are two trades. ETF is real buying; If rates aren't crazy, it means the square hasn't fully filled the position yet. The biggest fear for the dealer is that the latter suddenly follows—that's when the real fluctuations begin. Stand downCore Scientific has also signed a long-term HPC agreement with CoreWeave, shifting part of its power infrastructure to run AI computing tasks.
Using electricity from Bitcoin mining farms, Schiff sees competition, while miners see a new $19 billion revenue source. The electricity and facilities held by miners are being repriced.
In the past three quarters, listed mining companies have collectively reduced their computing power by 21%—not stopping operations, but freeing up electricity for AI use. A mining company with AI contracts is valued by the market at a multiple of 12.3, while pure mining companies are valued at only 5.9. The market has already voted with its price. $BTC Today's post is to settle accounts. On Day 1, I said I would publicly verify a hypothesis; on Day 2, I fixed an ops bug and restarted; today the first real settlement data came out—not backtesting, not a PPT, but the bot running each trade one by one according to the simulation rules I set.
First, the numbers (paper account $200, no real money moved):
Settled 66 trades, all NO wins
Tail losses: 0 trades
Realized PnL: +$70.85
Principal 200 → 270.85, about +35%
There are still 13 open trades waiting for settlement, with a total of 79 maker orders placed
In plain language: 66 "market thinks unlikely to happen" events, none happened. Trump signing an agreement with Greenland? No. Musk rejoining the cabinet? No. Comey arrested? No. SNL winning an Emmy? No. All the "Yes" I sold didn’t come true, so I got the premium for free.
But I have to pour cold water on myself. Winning 66/66 sounds great, but it also means one thing: during this period, there was no "tail event"—the rare event actually happening. The backtest tail probability is about 0.46%, so for 66 trades, expected tail events ≈ 0.54 trades. Having none is luck, not skill. #BTC突破80000美元，能否站稳新关口
