DAY3 Review
In the past two days, the high-level sideways movement + overlapping candlestick parts and increased doji stars indicate the start of a consolidation phase.
To prevent stop-loss triggers from spikes, I moved the stop-loss to the 5-minute bullish structure defense area around 75000.
Originally, I planned to add to the position once it broke through 78000 and set a separate stop-loss for this position.
Unexpectedly, a spike up and then a drop at midnight just hit the stop-loss for this position.
Although there was no loss, it caused my average price to rise again by 1000.
That is, from the initial average price of 64230 to now 74800, locking in about 50% profit.
The mid-to-long-term target of 82000 remains unchanged.
This time, the add-on was actually too hasty; at this stage, it’s better not to chase the breakout highs.
One should wait for a pullback and confirm support before entering again.
However, at least since the start on 8.19, most of the profits have been captured, exceeding my expectations.
Next, it depends on how far the market can go. In the next two days, I might take some profits to look at the US stock market.
No active take-profit, just moving the stop-loss.#Strategy issues additional shares to increase cash, BTC allocation pace under scrutiny
The leader has something to say
Strategy's moves this week are worth pondering.
From August 17 to 23, they sold 18.26 million shares of MSTR, raising about $2 billion. But they didn't buy any BTC this week; holdings remain unchanged at 840,447 coins.
Where did the money go?
Part of it was used to repurchase STRC preferred shares, and the rest increased the USD reserves to $5.1 billion, with a new $1.59 billion USDCash established. The former covers preferred stock dividends and debt interest, while the latter can be used to buy BTC, repurchase securities, or repay debt.
Strategy's previous approach was simple: finance to buy coins, which the market was accustomed to. Now it's different: after financing, they first accumulate cash, then decide how to use it based on the situation.
These are two different logics. Previously it was a one-way long position; now it's flexible allocation. With $5.1 billion cash on hand, it can be converted into buying power anytime or used to manage debt and capital structure. Flexibility has increased, reducing the risk of forced coin sales, but the cost is dilution of common shares.
For BTC, Strategy hasn't bought for several consecutive weeks, so in the short term, one structural buying force is missing. But having over $5 billion in cash means plenty of ammunition, just no trigger pulled yet. Whether the new cash eventually flows into BTC or securities repurchase will affect market judgment on MSTR's valuation premium.
On the market front, last night's live trades: bought BTC at 78,130 and sold at 79,500; long ETH at 2,455 and sold at 2,500, both trades were successful. There's consolidation near 79,500; next, watch if the 80,000 round number can be broken with volume. If not, wait for a pullback to buy again. $BTC $ETH $SOL
The above analysis is time-sensitive; always set stop losses on your trades. Good luck.$BTC
Daily chart: On Monday during the Asian session, Bitcoin returned to around 79,000, rising about 1.8% in 24 hours. Last week, it surged from 63,000 to nearly 80,000 in one go, with a weekly increase of over 22%, marking the largest weekly gain since March 2023.
Spot ETFs saw a net inflow of $1.92 billion last week. BlackRock's IBIT continues to accumulate, with AUM approaching 96 billion; the Strategy fund had zero net increase this week and instead sold stocks to hold $5.1 billion in cash, indicating Saylor believes the market has sufficient natural buying power.
Technically, the daily chart has risen above all short-term moving averages, with the EMA50 near 71,000 and EMA200 near 66,000, showing the early formation of a bullish alignment; on the 4-hour chart, the MACD red bars are shortening but still above the zero line. Intraday support is seen at 78,000/77,000, resistance at 79,600/80,000, and only a break above 80,000 will open the space toward 82,000.
Key variables this week include the US July PCE and revised GDP on Wednesday, and Fed Chair Waller's Jackson Hole debut on Friday. If PCE exceeds expectations and Waller turns more hawkish, a short-term retest of 76,000 is possible; otherwise, breaking 80,000 is more likely.
Outlook for the next 7 days: strong high-level consolidation, range 75,500-82,000 $BTC BTC breaks through 80800! Returns above 80,000 dollars after 100 days, surging nearly 30% in the past 8 days.
Trigger point: The US Treasury Secretary announced at least doubling the scale of Treasury repurchase operations, directly lowering long-term bond yields, weakening the dollar, and fully activating the logic of interest-free asset allocation.
Triple resonance of driving forces:
· Institutions buying aggressively: Spot Bitcoin ETF net inflow exceeded $1.9 billion in a single week, the largest scale since last October
· Shorts getting liquidated: Over $4 billion in crypto short positions were forcibly closed, short covering added fuel to the rally
· Policy + big names calling: Trump strongly promotes the "Clear Act," Dalio publicly suggests "moderate allocation to Bitcoin"
Yesterday, the 80,000 mark was tested twice and failed, with an intraday drop to 78,400, but buying quickly returned to repair the price. Coinbase premium turned positive for the first time in three and a half months, US demand is back. So what if you made 1.8 million USD? After looking at the on-chain data of the top CASHCAT whale, I strongly advise ordinary people not to go crazy following it.
23 days ago, a whale on Robinhood chain split 1 million USD into 96 transactions to buy CASHCAT, and hasn’t sold a single share since. The unrealized profit is 1.8 million USD (+166%).
Many people call this a godlike strategy, but I urge you to calmly see through these 3 truths behind it:
This is not retail bottom-fishing at all; it’s institutional control: 96 fragmented small orders to build a position, a professional operation using algorithmic bots to strictly control slippage and avoid traps. While you’re FOMO chasing highs, they’re accumulating chips in reverse batches.
Extremely poor risk-reward ratio: risking 1 million USD that could go to zero anytime, only to get less than 2x (166%) return after nearly a month. This life-or-death psychological pressure is unbearable for retail investors with tens of thousands of capital.
Single-core liquidity trap: the entire chain relies heavily on CASHCAT alone, the second tier still only in the tens of millions. The whale doesn’t sell because they haven’t found liquidity to absorb their 2.9 million USD liquidation; if they decide to dump, all below are retail investors buried alive.
💡 Pitfall summary:
Don’t use money you "can’t sleep at night" over to play the whale’s game of "losing 90% without blinking." Put your money in big coins like BTC and ETH where you can sleep soundly. They may not have the explosive power of Meme, but they are solid. Earning money you can control is better than looking for death on-chain.
Would you rather be anxious chasing 2x returns in the Meme crowd, or sleep peacefully holding big coins?$BTC has broken through $80,000! Is this breakout for real?
BTC is currently priced at $80,834, up 4.37% in 24 hours, breaking through the $80,000 mark in one go. From $75,000 yesterday to $80,000 today, that's a 5% increase in one day.
BlackRock's IBIT added nearly $478.5 million (about 7,320 BTC) against the trend this week. Trump confirmed that the US has discussed plans to increase Bitcoin holdings, and the strategic reserve narrative continues to ferment. Institutional funds have not fled above $70,000; instead, they buy more as prices fall.
But don't get too excited yet. CME futures open interest still stands at about $48 billion. Glassnode has long warned this is a potential systemic imbalance. When the price last surged to $75,000, the RSI hit 80.94; now at $80,000, the overbought condition is even more severe.
There is also an on-chain signal: the anonymous whale jasonleo's 4x leveraged BTC short position of 1,030 BTC entered at $76,065 is still holding on with a floating loss of over $1.8 million. Bears holding on without cutting losses means this rally has less "fuel."
Breaking $80,000 confirms the trend, but above $80,000 is a dense trading zone since 2025, so selling pressure will significantly increase. Chasing highs is possible, but don't go all in; set stop losses. At this level, market manipulators love to play "fake breakouts." #BTC rally then consolidation #ETF funds continue to flow in From 58k to 80k, is the bull market really back? Here's a different perspective
In the past few days, BTC surged from 58,000 to 80,000 in one go, and many people started shouting "bull market is back quickly." But my own feeling is: don't rush to conclusions, this rally looks more like a "policy-driven rebound" rather than an endogenous bull market start.
First, let me clarify, I'm not bearish, I also hold positions. But precisely because I hold, I'm more cautious. The core reason for this week's rally is one thing: the U.S. Treasury said it will expand long-term bond repurchases. The market immediately interpreted this as "more liquidity injection," so risk assets rose across the board. BTC, being sensitive to liquidity, naturally reacted first. Plus, ETF funds concentrated inflows, shorts got squeezed, and the price felt like it was floored on the gas pedal.
But the problem is, the sustainability of this rise depends on whether liquidity is truly released, not just "expectations." If subsequent repurchases fall short of expectations, or inflation data fluctuates again, then how it went up might be how it comes down. The 80,000 level has more psychological significance than technical—breaking it means a "new era," failing means a "double top."
Looking at the chart (just a quick glance), it indeed broke through the previous months' consolidation range, but breakouts often need a pullback to confirm. I personally won't chase at 80,000; I prefer to wait for a pullback to around 75,000 or even 72,000 to see the support strength. If it holds there and ETFs continue net inflows, then I dare to add positions. If it breaks below 70,000 directly, then this is a false breakout, and the price might drop to 65,000 or even lower.
Also, market sentiment is a bit overheated now. Many people around me have started borrowing money to buy the dip, and various communities are shouting "eternal bull market," which reminds me of the scene at 72,000 last year. Whenever consensus expectations are too strong, that's often when risk is greatest.
So my judgment is: now is not the confirmation point of a bull market, but the watershed between bull and bear. At the 80,000 level, bulls and bears will fight hard. I won't change my belief just because it rose 40%, nor will I panic because others are bearish. I'll watch two things: one is ETF fund flows (if there's a continuous week of net outflows, it's time to exit), and two is U.S. Treasury yields (if yields rise again, it means liquidity expectations are disproved).
Finally, a word on trading: don't always think about "catching the entire bull market." Those who held from 58,000 to now either got lucky or had low cost. If you're currently out of position, I don't recommend going all in at once; building positions gradually or waiting for a pullback is more comfortable. If you've already made good profits, consider taking out your principal first and let the profits run.
The bull market isn't shouted into existence; it's walked into. Let's watch as we go.
$BTC #BTC突破80000美元，能否站稳新关口 Woke up this morning still wondering if it could reach 80000, just saw the big coin $BTC directly break 80000, OKX quotes even reached 81000. Honestly, it's a bit beyond expectations.
I had been watching the 80000 level for several days, twice it tried but couldn't hold, this time it finally broke through. Not sure if it will drop back later, but I feel it probably won't.
$ETH also broke 2500, reaching a high of 2533. The grid I set up earlier has already made a profit. Between 2500 and 3000, it should be possible to buy slowly and climb up.
The logic behind this rally is very solid. The options skew turned negative for the first time this year, indicating the market fears missing out more than getting trapped. Leverage positions actually dropped by 11%, the structure is very healthy, plus ETF funds are accelerating inflows.
From now on, I'll just honestly go long. The bull market is here, so I'll be a steadfast bull, but I'll still set stop losses properly. Don't get carried away just because you see the right direction.
#BTC突破80000美元，能否站稳新关口
#$NES — honestly, stop trying to catch this knife. Based on the current situation, I wouldn't expect the project to recover. 1. Why is the price different across exchanges?
OKX has suspended $NES deposits and withdrawals, so trading liquidity is extremely limited. That can create a huge price gap with other exchanges. If you're holding spot, this is a serious liquidity warning. 2. A potential zero-bound Meme gamble
After a collapse like this, any bounce can simply become a PvP game. Those who boU.S. Treasury yields are about to spiral out of control again; can the Treasury really keep them in check?
Arthur Hayes' newly published article "Much of a Muchness" truly hits the macro truth. Whether it's Yellen or Bassent, as long as the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield approaches the 5% red line, the Treasury's only solution is to find ways to effectively print money.
From Yellen squeezing out reverse repo funds through short-term Treasuries back then, to Bassent increasing long-term Treasury repos now, on the surface it's about optimizing the structure, but in reality, it's all about pumping liquidity into the market.
But this time there's a harsher point: bond guardians are no longer buying it. Facing massive debt and inflation expectations, small-scale repos simply can't suppress yields. And the Treasury will never sit idly by while high interest rates crush the stock market and debt. Under pressure, it can only open the floodgates wider.
When U.S. Treasuries no longer serve as a safe haven, the rise of gold and Bitcoin is not about safety but an early pricing of the dollar's purchasing power depreciation. Bitcoin essentially acts as a high-leverage gauge of global fiat money printing.
Forecast for the near future:
Short-term U.S. Treasuries will battle with the Treasury Department, causing intense shakeouts in the crypto market.
The mid-to-long-term liquidity turning point is established; fiat currency continues to dilute, and scarce assets $BTC $ETH gold $CL will keep absorbing overflowing funds.
Hold spot positions firmly to avoid liquidation of high leverage on the eve of a surge.
Paper can never ultimately withstand fire; as long as the money printing machine doesn't stop, Bitcoin can no longer be cheap.
DYOR #BTC突破80000美元，能否站稳新关口
This surge to 80,000 is driven by the combined effect of macro liquidity recovery, ETF buying, and short squeeze. But whether it can hold firmly cannot be judged by just one big bullish candle.
The real logic behind the rise
1. The U.S. Treasury expands bond repurchases, U.S. Treasury yields decline, overall risk asset valuations rise, providing a macro environment favorable for Bitcoin.
2. Spot ETFs return to large net inflows, institutional funds re-enter to absorb selling pressure, which is the most solid support on the spot side.
3. A large number of shorts are forcibly liquidated in the short term, and passive buying quickly pushes the price up, constituting a short squeeze. This force is consumptive and unsustainable.
Two possible future scenarios
Scenario 1: Effectively hold above the 80,000 level
Conditions: ETF funds maintain continuous inflows, U.S. Treasury yields do not rebound rapidly, and selling pressure is light when retesting 80,000.
After holding firm, the target above is the 82,000–83,000 USD range.
Scenario 2: False breakout followed by a pullback (equally probable)
80,000 is a strong psychological and technical resistance level, with heavy selling pressure from large whales, mining companies, and institutional holders looking to break even.
Once ETF inflows slow and short liquidations end, without new long positions to take over, it is easy to spike and then fall back, retesting support at 76,000–77,000.
If it breaks below 74,000, the structure of this rebound will be broken.The moment Bitcoin surpassed $80,000, market sentiment was actually quite subtle. To be honest, this number itself is not surprising; what is truly intriguing is how the price is precisely "stuck" at the integer threshold—on the two most liquid leading exchanges, Bitcoin's highest price was fixed at $80,000 and $79,999.8 respectively, both less than one smallest unit of movement from the 80,000 mark. Such a uniform trend, especially for an asset already worth over a trillion dollars, truly makes one marvel at the precision of market maneuvering. The reason the 80,000 is repeatedly mentioned in the market is that it is widely regarded as the clearest resistance level at this stage. From a technical analysis perspective, the integer level often carries a large accumulation of orders and psychological expectations. When the price approaches this area, both bulls and bears become more sensitive. This time, without sharp spikes or instant breakouts followed by pullbacks, the market hovered almost "close to the ground" below the threshold, revealing signs of deliberate management. Many observers might think that if this is a small-cap altcoin, such price action would be understandable, but if it happens to Bitcoin and is simultaneously displayed on multiple mainstream platforms, it becomes less natural. A market insider borrowed a somewhat ironic comment: power can be wielded in this way, and assets worth trillions can also be "arranged" in this way. Although this statement carries emotion, it also reflects a reality in the current market structure—#Strategy增发扩充现金，BTC配置节奏受关注
Strategy officially announced a cash reserve replenishment through a share issuance, refocusing market attention on the subsequent Bitcoin purchase pace of this crypto treasury giant.
Previously, the company had reduced stock holdings to realize profits and reserve cash. This time, the market has two interpretations of the share issuance.
Optimistic view: Replenishing ammunition is preparation for continued BTC accumulation. Holding ample cash allows increasing dollar-cost averaging during market pullbacks, continuously strengthening the narrative of corporate treasury buying, supporting crypto market sentiment.
Risk divergence: The issuance dilutes existing shareholders' equity and not all funds may be used to buy coins. The market worries that if BTC prices keep rising, the company may slow down accumulation; if the stock price comes under pressure, it might reduce stock holdings again.
Personal view: Issuance does not mean immediate large-scale coin buying; it is a potential positive but not a direct catalyst for the market. The focus should not be on the news itself but on tracking two things going forward: actual use of funds and weekly BTC holdings changes.
From the crypto market perspective, Strategy's buying mainly affects medium- to long-term supply and demand; short-term trends are still driven by ETF funds and macro interest rates. Do not blindly chase the rally based solely on this news.
Practical reminder: Crypto corporate treasury narratives can easily drive emotional speculation but carry uncertainties. Avoid impulsive contract trades based on news; use key price levels and capital flows as the main judgment criteria.#BTCETFInflowsSurge #OKXOutcomeF1TI15Recap Có một chuyện đang xảy ra trên thị trường Mỹ mà mình nghĩ trader crypto không nên chỉ nhìn lướt qua: Bộ Tài chính Mỹ đang tăng mạnh hoạt động mua lại trái phiếu dài hạn.

Ngày 19/8, Treasury thông báo sẽ tăng gấp đôi quy mô một số đợt buyback trái phiếu kỳ hạn 10–30 năm, từ khoảng $2 tỷ lên ít nhất $4 tỷ mỗi operation, trong giai đoạ#Strategy增发扩充现金，BTC配置节奏受关注
MSTR's moves this week are subtle: from August 17–23, it issued about 18.26 million common shares through ATM, raising a net $2.01 billion, but didn't buy a single BTC.
Where did the money go?
• $300 million injected into the existing USD Reserve (now $5.1 billion)
• $136.4 million used to repurchase discounted STRC preferred shares
• The remaining $1.59 billion placed into a newly established "USD Cash" flexible cash pool
Including the original reserve, the company's USD liquidity on hand surged to $6.69 billion. BTC holdings remain at 840,447 coins (average cost $75,385), with zero accumulation for 9 consecutive weeks since June 22.
The rhythm signal is very clear:
The seller changed from "always only buying and never selling" to a two-way trader—accumulating cash when BTC is far from the 200-week moving average, and acting only when it approaches or falls below it; meanwhile, using the issuance proceeds to reduce the preferred stock dividend burden (STRC's annual interest has reached 12%), prioritizing maintaining the capital structure.
So it's not that the flywheel has stopped, but that it's spinning slowly to maintain liquidity. BTC returned to around 79,000, MSTR rose about 30% monthly, but the company chose not to chase the high. The next big buy will likely wait for a pullback or easing of preferred stock pressure.
Short-term bearish on dilution from issuance, but long-term it has turned the "Bitcoin reserve company" into a credit machine with a cash buffer—this is harder to collapse than mindless buying and more like institutional play.BTC$BTC This wave has surged all the way close to $80,000, yet the open interest (OI) in the market has dropped to a two-month low.
Many traders' first reaction is that liquidity has dried up, but I actually think this is precisely the healthiest market signal recently.
The price is pushed up, but leveraged contract positions are rapidly being cleared. This indicates that the high-leverage shorts buried in the previous phase have been completely flushed out by this short squeeze, and at the same time, the longs have not blindly piled on high leverage following the trend. Compared to the kind of violent oscillation structure where prices rise, contract positions get heavier, and cliff-like cascading liquidations are always ready, the current chip distribution and leverage ratio have actually been cleaned up quite thoroughly.
However, from the perspective of chip game theory,
the fuel to forcibly pull the price up by short squeeze has almost been consumed. After the shorts have been liquidated, if the price wants to continue expanding upward, it can no longer rely on the passive push of "short liquidation" but must depend on real incremental funds—that is, the actual capacity of spot chips to absorb, and the continuous net inflow of spot ETF capital chains.
So the focus of market watching needs to shift. Instead of staring at liquidation maps and liquidation data every day, it is better to closely monitor when open interest starts to rise again. When leveraged funds re-enter, whether spot funds can support the market and allow prices to strengthen simultaneously is the core indicator to determine whether this move is a true breakout or a temporary top. #BTC突破80000美元，能否站稳新关口 BTC peaked at $79,400, with $80,000 being the key level the market focused on before today's open.
It's not because $80,000 has any special technical significance, but because it's a round number—many stop-loss orders from shorts and many target orders from longs are clustered around this integer.
There is now a signal worth serious attention: the skew in the BTC options market has turned negative for the first time this year—this means the premium for call options has exceeded that for put options. The market is telling you with real money that participants are more worried about missing out than about being trapped.
During the same period, BTC-denominated open interest contracts dropped from about 353,500 to 312,600—a decline of about 11%, reaching a one-month low. This indicates that leveraged positions are decreasing, not increasing, during this rally—this is a healthy upward structure.
This afternoon, Waller will deliver his first keynote speech of the year at Jackson Hole, one of the most important public signals for Fed policy this year. The probability of a rate hike in September is currently about 36%—if Waller's tone is dovish, $80,000 could break today. If hawkish, $80,000 will continue to wait.
CoinShares research head James Butterfill's assessment: this rebound is mainly a macro story, not a crypto-specific one—BTC is extremely sensitive to liquidity expectations and actual interest rate changes, and its reaction is entirely as expected.
In short: $80,000 is just ahead, and Waller's words this afternoon will decide whether it breaks today or continues to wait. Everyone, this week Bitcoin surged directly from 62,000 to 81,000, rising a full 30.6%, marking the strongest weekly performance since 2021.
The driving logic is actually a combination of a few factors.
First, liquidity expectations are improving. The Treasury expanded the scale of long-term government bond repos, which the market interprets as suppressing long-term bond yields and weakening the dollar, causing funds to flow into hard assets like gold and Bitcoin.
Second, ETF funds have returned. There was a net inflow of 1.92 billion in a single week, the highest since October 2025, and Ethereum also saw nearly 700 million inflow. Institutions are increasing their positions, not retail traders speculating.
Third, shorts were squeezed. After a long period of sideways movement, leverage dropped to a low level. Once the price broke a key level, shorts were forced to cover, causing a feedback loop of rising prices and more liquidations.
Regulation is also warming up. Trump held a crypto summit supporting the CLARITY Act, and the SEC issued new draft rules. The market is pricing in a clearer compliance framework.
But a reminder from Mi Ge: a weekly gain of over 30% means the market is seriously overbought in the short term. At the 81,000 level, profit-taking is piled up like a mountain, and chasing higher prices has very low cost-effectiveness. Next, watch if the pullback can hold between 78,000 and 79,000; sideways movement would be a healthy consolidation. Nvidia's earnings report and the Jackson Hole event are the next two key milestones. After these two events, the direction will become truly clear. Share in the comments how much you gained this week. Wishing everyone smooth trading. #BTC突破80000美元，能否站稳新关口 $BTC $ETH $SOL Is big money quietly shifting tracks? Recently, a whale account labeled "Maji" on the chain staged a distinctive position swap with real money. He first tried to go long with high leverage twice amid Bitcoin's high volatility, but both failed, resulting in a total loss of $165,000; then he decisively shifted his focus to Ethereum, increasing his long position to $75 million, averaging entry price of about $2,370, and currently making a floating profit of $1.96 million. Meanwhile, he also holds long positions in HYPE and PUMP. This set of data is noteworthy not because of the profit or loss of a single trade, but because of the stratified market sentiment it reflects. After Bitcoin's surge, it entered a phase of volatility, yet ETF funds continued to flow in, indicating that institutional allocation logic has not reversed; However, the repeated setbacks faced by some high-leverage players on BTC also highlight the current "trap" nature of volatility—if you go in the right direction but move the wrong rhythm, you can still be washed out. In contrast, ETH also experienced volatility after touching $2,500, but whales chose to increase their positions at this level, perhaps more valuing its catch-up room after relatively stagnation and the mid-term narrative driven by spot ETF expectations. From an operational style perspective, this whale's shift from "high-leverage battles" to "holding large positions" is itself a convergence of risk appetite. Although the $75 million ETH position is substantial, the entry price is not extreme, and the floating profit status provides more room for error. Some in the market interpret this kind of switch as "abandoning BTC for ETH."BTC surged about 24% last week, but Strategy didn't buy a single one.
What's even more unusual is that it sold about $2 billion worth of MSTR stock when the market picked up, but didn't immediately convert the money into BTC. Instead, it first built a $1.59 billion cash pool.
This doesn't mean Saylor suddenly turned bearish on BTC.
It's more like Strategy is starting to keep a backup plan: raising funds when the market is good, holding cash in hand, so later it can buy BTC, repurchase stock, pay interest, and dividends.
The market used to watch "how much BTC Strategy bought this week," but this approach is changing now.
The next real thing to watch is when this $1.59 billion starts moving. $BTC #BitcoinWeeklyUp23.6% #BitcoinOpenInterestDropsToTwoMonthLow #BTCHits80000USD #Strategy increases cash through additional issuance, BTC allocation pace under scrutiny
The most noteworthy recent change in Strategy is not how much BTC it has bought again, but that it has not bought any for several consecutive weeks.
The latest disclosure shows that from August 17 to 23, Strategy sold about 18.26 million shares of MSTR, raising nearly $2 billion in financing, but did not buy or sell any Bitcoin. The company added $300 million to its USD Reserve, raising the dollar reserve to about $5.1 billion, while also establishing an independent "USD Cash" pool of about $1.59 billion. (The Block)
This means that Strategy’s available dollar liquidity has significantly increased.
However, I believe the real point to consider is not whether "Saylor has lost confidence in BTC," but that Strategy’s balance sheet logic is changing.
Currently, Strategy still holds about 840,447 BTC, with an average cost of about $75,385, totaling approximately $63.4 billion, accounting for about 4% of the final 21 million BTC supply. (The Block)
The market has traditionally understood Strategy as a very simple cycle:
Financing → Buy BTC → BTC rises → MSTR gains higher premium → Refinance → Buy more BTC.
But when MSTR’s mNAV premium shrinks, preferred shares require dividend payments, and the company must maintain price stability for financing tools like STRC, this cycle can no longer just pursue "maximizing BTC quantity."
Strategy now seems to be actively extending its survival time and capital management capability.
In the past month or so, its dollar reserves have increased from about $3 billion to $5.1 billion, with an additional $1.59 billion independent cash pool. Meanwhile, the company has not significantly increased its BTC position for about two months. (The Block)
This actually signals:
Strategy has not abandoned its BTC strategy but is moving from "mindlessly expanding the balance sheet to buy coins" to "managing the balance sheet."
The newly established USD Cash can be used in the future to buy BTC, pay preferred stock dividends, debt interest, repurchase MSTR or preferred shares, or even repay some convertible bonds. In other words, Saylor now holds an "option."
This is very important.
Because BTC previously fell below Strategy’s overall holding cost of about $75,400, and recently rebounded near or above this cost. For Strategy, immediately chasing BTC at scale may not be the most capital-efficient choice. (The Block)
If BTC experiences another deep pullback, this tens of billions of dollars in cash will become very valuable ammunition;
If BTC continues to rise, Strategy can use capital market financing to restart purchases;
If MSTR or STRC shows significant discounts, it can even prioritize repurchasing its own securities.
Therefore, I am more inclined to believe:
Strategy is not losing faith in BTC but increasing its initiative for the next round of bets.
Saylor’s greatest strength in the past was daring to leverage up.
What will truly test him next might be—when to choose not to leverage.
If Strategy resumes BTC purchases in the coming weeks, I will focus on two things:
BTC’s position at that time, and MSTR’s premium relative to BTC net asset value.
Because the next large-scale buy may not be just an ordinary increase but will signal to the market that Strategy believes the current capital structure is ready for expansion.
The question now is:
With over $6 billion in dollar liquidity, is Strategy simply strengthening its defense, or already preparing ammunition for the next large-scale BTC allocation? $BTC Bitcoin has broken 80,000…
To put it simply, there are three things:
1. The U.S. Treasury made a big move — doubling the scale of long-term bond repurchases, which is equivalent to covertly printing money. With money becoming loose, "hard currency" like Bitcoin naturally gets snapped up.
2. Shorts got counterattacked — many people bet on a price drop, but the price stubbornly pushed up, forcing shorts to cover their positions by buying back, which in turn pushed the price even higher. They basically "dug their own grave."
3. Institutions are entering with real money — last week, ETFs brought in nearly $2 billion, a volume retail investors can't generate; big money is moving.
What's the current situation?
· Still some way from the all-time high (126,000), but short-term indicators are already heating up
· Next, it will either consolidate to digest profits or surge before pulling back; a direct V-shaped reversal is unlikely
My view:
The trend is solid, but chasing highs in the short term isn't worth it. If you're really interested, wait until it returns to the 76k-78k range before considering; no rush in the next day or two. #美启动对伊经济孤立，油价为何回落？
According to traditional logic, the U.S. expanding sanctions on Iran means Iran's crude oil exports could be further restricted, supply risks rise, and oil prices should increase.
But the market's answer is exactly the opposite.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen announced expanded economic sanctions on Iran, aiming to cut off its remaining economic channels and warned that countries continuing business with Iran might face pressure within the U.S. dollar financial system. As a result, Brent crude oil fell 2.35% to $92.17, and WTI dropped to $85.01 on the same day. (Reuters)
This indicates that the market is no longer trading on the word "sanctions" alone, but on the policy path behind the sanctions.
Oil prices have already risen significantly over the past two weeks, with geopolitical conflicts and risks in the Strait of Hormuz priced in advance. Now, the U.S. is further focusing on economic and financial pressure, which in the short term reduces market concerns about continued military escalation and direct attacks on energy infrastructure.
In other words:
An escalation in economic warfare does not necessarily mean an immediate reduction in oil supply.
More importantly, it depends on enforcement strength. Although the U.S. has expanded secondary sanctions, it has not explicitly named major countries nor provided a complete enforcement timeline. The market truly cares whether the U.S. dares to further touch Iran's most important external demand and financial settlement channels for crude oil. (Reuters)
So this oil price pullback, I tend to interpret as a combination of three factors:
Previously excessive geopolitical risk premium + profit-taking by bulls + the market temporarily lowering pricing for direct military escalation.
But there is a risk easily overlooked here.
Iran's real leverage to retaliate against the global market is not its hundreds of thousands of barrels of exports, but the Strait of Hormuz. This route normally handles about 20% of global oil transportation. Once economic blockade forces Iran to further disrupt shipping, the market's trading logic will instantly switch from "how much less oil Iran sells" to "how much oil can still be transported globally." (Reuters)
Therefore, Brent crude near $92 does not necessarily mean geopolitical risk has disappeared; it more likely means the market temporarily believes the U.S. is still choosing economic warfare rather than further expanding military conflict.
What is truly worth watching next is not how many more sanctions the U.S. adds, but two things:
Whether the U.S. will really take action against Iran's main trading partners, and whether Iran will turn economic pressure into actual actions in the Strait of Hormuz.
If the former escalates, Iran's exports will continue to decline; if the latter escalates, the impact may extend beyond just Iran's oil.
This is the biggest tail risk for oil prices in the next phase.
What do you think about Brent crude at $92 now—is the geopolitical premium still too high, or is the market underestimating Iran's potential retaliation?Brothers, the big coin has finally touched the $80,000 threshold.
Just checked the data, $BTC is currently at $80,700, $ETH is at $2,514. Over the past week, BTC has surged from around $63,000 to above $79,000, a weekly increase of over 22%, marking the largest weekly gain since 2023. ETH performed even stronger, rising 30% in 7 days, shooting from below $1,900 directly above $2,500.
🚀 What happened? Triple positive factors ignited simultaneously
First, US Treasury repos sparked a "currency devaluation trade"
On August 19, the US Treasury announced it would more than double the scale of long-term bond repos, increasing repos of bonds over 10 years from $2 billion to "no less than $4 billion." The 30-year US Treasury yield fell in response, the dollar weakened, and both Bitcoin and gold surged. Bridgewater Associates founder Ray Dalio publicly recommended "underweight bonds, allocate 10%-15% to gold, and a small portion to Bitcoin," further reinforcing the narrative of scarce assets.
Second, ETF institutional funds are pouring in wildly
Last week, the US spot Bitcoin ETF saw a net inflow of $1.92 billion, the largest single-week inflow since October last year (when Bitcoin hit its cycle peak). Along with the price rise, over $4 billion in short positions were liquidated, and the short-covering buying further pushed prices up.
Third, the fear index soared to "extreme greed"
CoinMarketCap's Crypto Fear & Greed Index has risen to 81 (extreme greed), up from around 40 a week ago. Market sentiment jumped directly from "neutral" to "extreme greed," indicating this rally has fully ignited FOMO.
📊 Market status: After the sharp rise, divergences begin to appear
BTC: Around $80,700, intraday once approached the psychological $80,000 mark before profit-taking appeared. $80,000 is a short-term key resistance; if volume breaks through, the next target is $82,000-$85,000; if rejected, $75,000-$76,000 is the first support zone, $71,000-$72,000 is a deeper support. Note, the daily RSI has surged to 82**, indicating severe overbought conditions.
ETH: Around $2,514, recently outperforming BTC. $2,500-$2,550 is the short-term resistance zone; after breaking through, the next target is $2,700-$2,800; $3,000 is the mid-to-long-term target but requires first holding above $2,750 with increased volume. The daily RSI is also high at 80, entering an overheated zone. Key support below is in the $2,140-$2,200 range.
Key signals: Some analysts warn this rally is mainly driven by short squeezes and ETF funds, not broad spot demand. Without real buying follow-through, short-term pullback risks cannot be ignored. Hyperion Decimus co-founder bluntly states BTC is in an overbought state, and a short-term correction is almost an inevitable technical adjustment.
💰 View: The trend is there, but watch for pullbacks
The driving force behind this rally comes from macro policy shifts + real ETF buying + short squeezes. The reliability of this triple driver is much stronger than pure leveraged rallies. But from $63,000 to $80,000, a rise of over 25% in two weeks, it is seriously overbought short-term. Consolidation and digestion after a sharp rise is normal; the key is whether key supports hold during pullbacks.
📌 Trading suggestions (for reference only)
· Long BTC: Consider after a pullback to $75,000-$76,000 stabilizes, stop loss at $74,000, target $80,000-$82,500
· Long ETH: Consider after a pullback to $2,350-$2,400 stabilizes, stop loss at $2,300, target $2,500-$2,550
· Short: Light positions can be tried if rebounds near $80,000 (BTC) or $2,550 (ETH) show weakness, with tight stop loss
· Leverage: Within 3x, 5x leverage in this volatility is like giving away money

#Strategy增发扩充现金，BTC配置节奏受关注 Bitcoin (BTC)
Bitcoin has already broken through 80,000 in this wave. Basically, if you want to trade short-term, I suggest considering shorting, with a stop loss set at the May high of 83,000. If it breaks below that, you must stop loss and exit.
Moreover, if 83,000 can really hold, you can no longer simply treat this wave as a rebound; the entire pattern might be completely different, requiring a reassessment of bullish and bearish views.
On the news front, the U.S. Treasury recently expanded the scale of long-term Treasury repurchases, raising the single transaction limit from 2 billion USD to at least 4 billion USD. The market interprets this as a signal of improved liquidity conditions, driving this sharp rally in Bitcoin.
Additionally, spot Bitcoin ETFs saw net inflows for four consecutive trading days from August 17 to 20, totaling about 1.6 billion USD, with institutional funds clearly returning; the market is also watching whether the September "CLARITY Act" can pass the Senate vote, which will be a key catalyst for whether Bitcoin can further stabilize or even break through the 80,000 mark.New range:
813
806
798 market price
Currently, all kinds of data clearly meet the standards of a healthy bull market, the trend is very healthy, and both spot and derivatives data look very good.
80000 is a very thick positive gamma wall, so market makers will precisely control the price below 80k, but it will thin out on August 28th, and after some grinding, it will break through 80000. Moving upward may encounter liquidity around 815-820. Current liquidity is seen at 804-806, which will definitely be eaten up, so I set the upper range at 806 because short covering will pierce the upper range.
The 755 range mentioned in the quote might be a good short-term buying point. This time I won't set a lower range; setting ranges on both sides always invites random criticism.
Whether it's strong altcoins or BTC, the direction is still to buy the dip. I will enter long positions at the lower range 80,000 dollars is not a door, it's the switch of a meat grinder! BTC surged nearly 30% in eight days, 4.5 billion short positions were liquidated, 189,000 people were liquidated, and ETFs attracted 1.92 billion USD in a week — this is not a right-side move, it's a short squeeze rocket ignition.
But listen carefully: a single week +25%, RSI entering the overbought zone, 80,000 is a psychological barrier plus previous trapped positions, a breakout followed by a pullback is the script.
The real right-side strategy is not chasing the peak, but waiting for the daily close to hold above 80,500, then biting the first piece on a pullback to 78,000 without breaking it (≤30% position), cutting losses if it breaks 76,000 without hesitation.
Institutional ETFs are real money, but once the “fake bulls” of short liquidation are cleared, the one catching the flying knife will be you.
Missing out doesn't lose money, going all-in leads to zero. This wave is called "trend confirmation," not "blindly jumping in."80,000, $BTC really charged through it #BTC突破69000美元，这轮上涨能走多远？
I was indeed bearish earlier in this wave, but from around $63,000 all the way up to now, the market has thoroughly proven my judgment wrong. BTC's current rebound has nearly reached 25%, and it has retaken the $80,000 level for the first time since May.
At the start, there was clearly a short squeeze driving it up; over the past 24 hours, more than $220 million in short positions across the market were liquidated. Meanwhile, the US spot BTC ETF saw nearly $1.9 billion in net inflows last week, marking one of the strongest weeks since October last year.
In other words: the first half was shorts forced to buy, and the second half saw genuine cash-driven buying.
These two types of rallies are completely different concepts. From just over $60,000 to $80,000, BTC has turned what looked like a "rebound" into a trend that needs to be reassessed. Now, I don't even want to guess if it will be $82,000 or $78,000 tomorrow; after such rapid consecutive gains, some volatility or pullbacks are perfectly normal.
What really changed my view is: ETFs re-entering the market, a weakening dollar, improved regulatory expectations, plus the price itself reclaiming a key level.
This time I admit: BTC's rally is much stronger than I expected.
$80,000 is not the end, but at least up to this point, we can no longer casually dismiss it as just an "ordinary bear market rebound."BTC surged 20% in three days, breaking 80,000, a typical breakout. ETF weekly inflows reached $1.9 billion, and short covering resonated, confirming the trend signal.
However, 80,000 is a psychological barrier and a previous trapped zone. After a 30% weekly surge, profit-taking is heavy, so the risk of a false breakout is high. The correct approach on the right side: wait for the daily close to hold steady at 80,500–81,000 and for a pullback that does not break 80,000 before establishing the first position (≤30%), with a stop loss set below 79,000; if it breaks 82,000, increase to 50%, never chase sharp spikes on intraday charts. Keep total position within 10% of total assets and avoid high leverage.
Missing out is better than catching a falling knife; confirmation is more important than cheapness. The $SKHY union narrowly rejected the preliminary compensation agreement with a slim majority against, instantly nullifying the nearly finalized labor negotiations. The storage sector has quickly recorded this noise as a supply risk.
Semiconductor sentiment is already in a phase of adjustment, and delivery uncertainties in the supply chain will be rapidly amplified by capital, directly suppressing the willingness of bulls to hold positions.
Event risks are propagating outward along with tightening risk appetite and defensive positioning. Potential delivery disruptions in the core HBM production line are turning into a cautious stance at the valuation level.
After traditional storage capacity is questioned on its pace, decentralized storage with dispersed layout will re-enter the long-term demand framework, and the network value of $FIL thus gains a more stable basis for discussion.
In the coming days, it remains to be seen whether the union will propose a specific strike schedule or a timetable for resuming talks. If a compromise is reached again in the short term, the emotional discount may have a chance to clear.
Focusing on demand rebalancing after supply is repriced, a clearly positive bias can be maintained for $FIL's medium- to long-term position.
#ZEC创站内历史新高，隐私资产重估 #ETH触及2500美元后震荡 #美光加码AI存储，十年研发投入100亿美元Missing out on $SOL is more agonizing than losing money (August 25, 10:25)
I've been watching $SOL closely during this period, repeatedly marking the 92 support level. I was optimistic about its rebound potential but kept waiting for a deeper pullback before entering. Instead, the price surged straight from 93 to 97, with the 24-hour contract long positions ratio hitting 62%, leaving me stranded.
Watching the candlesticks climb and the community sharing profit screenshots everywhere made me very anxious, feeling like I missed out on a big chunk of profits. Several times I impulsively wanted to chase at the current price, but seeing the strong resistance at 102-104 above, I forced myself to hold back.
Reviewing the on-chain data afterward, a large part of this rally was due to short squeeze, not a massive influx of spot funds. Even though I missed this wave, the market will definitely offer pullback opportunities later.
The most tormenting part of trading isn't losses, but the FOMO caused by missing out. Missing out won't lose your principal; chasing highs will. I'd rather earn less than recklessly rush into high-risk positions.
The above is just a market review and does not constitute investment advice. #BTC冲高后震荡，ETF资金持续流入 #ETH触及2500美元后震荡 $BTC $ETH $SOL Simply put in plain language:
Besent is preparing to use a large amount of treasury funds to buy U.S. Treasuries, bypassing the Federal Reserve, with the goal of driving down U.S. Treasury yields.
Once yields fall, the dollar becomes less attractive, the market will feel that money is loosening up a bit, and the crypto space is likely to catch a wave of rebound sentiment.
But it’s important to understand that this money is not newly printed; it’s just being moved from within the treasury, with a capped amount, not endless liquidity injection.
There are two possible market scenarios:
The market buys in, yields actually drop, and crypto rallies;
If everyone realizes it’s just a temporary bailout without a real rate cut, then the good news is fully priced in, and after the rally, prices will fall.
The key is not to just watch the news, but to focus on whether the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield actually moves. If it’s just talk with no data change, the news is basically useless.
This will only stir the market in the short term, not a signal for a major bull market start. Contract volatility will be amplified, and the risk is significant. $BTC $ETH $SNDK $BTC $ETH First layer: Geopolitics vs. Macro Fundamentals. This rally was driven by risk-off events such as sanctions on Iran, but macro risks such as U.S. inflation, fiscal deficits, and long-term Treasury yields have not disappeared. Ray Dalio has warned that the U.S. could face a debt crisis within three years and recommended reducing U.S. Treasury holdings and increasing gold and Bitcoin. This means the current rally is sustained and heavily depends on whether geopolitical tensions escalate further. Second: ETF capital inflows vs. institutions hedging holdings. Spot ETFs saw a net inflow of $1.5 billion last week, but institutions simultaneously established $1.38 billion in short positions in the futures market. This is not a simple long-short opposition but basis arbitrage—institutions buy spot ETFs while shorting futures to profit from price differences. The widespread presence of this "neutral strategy" means the market rally may lack true "directional conviction." Once the price spread narrows, institutions may simultaneously close positions on both sides, triggering a rapid pullback. Third: The significance of Solana's governance vote as a "paradigm shift." Compared to BTC and ETH's price movements, the price swings are more driven by macro factors. SOL's biggest current variable comes from internal governance. If SGP-0002 and SGP-0003 pass, they will be among the largest tokenomics reforms in public chain history—shifting from "high-inflation incentivized validators" to "deflation-driven value capture," but at the cost of staking yields being halved, which could trigger validator exodus and centralizationThe chain of this $NES hack is already very clear
1. The underlying layer used by $NES is Cosmos evm. Five days ago, Cosmos discovered a vulnerability but did not notify specifically; instead, the vulnerability and patch were directly published on GitHub (an open-source community).
2. Obviously, most project teams did not check in time, while the hackers were more diligent than these teams. As a result, $tac, $kii, and today's $NES were successively attacked.
3. "Between 15:11 and 16:09 UTC, the attacker sold 185,744,335 NES in 241 transactions through CoW and Uni. The profit was 95.97 ETH, approximately $237,208." The project team then urgently suspended on-chain activities.
4. The $NES project team immediately notified exchanges after the attack and shut down the chain. This response was relatively quick and decisive compared to other projects.
5. Due to deposit and withdrawal closures on exchanges, especially on alpha where only orders can be placed but no exchanges can be made, a large number of users panicked and sold off, causing a huge price gap. Currently, the alpha price is $0.011, and the okx price is $0.13, a difference of more than ten times.
6. The current situation is that the actual loss caused by the hacker attack is about $200,000 to $300,000, and it is limited to the ETH chain. The situation is expected to be relatively controllable, with relatively little impact on fundamentals. Spot BTC+ETH ETF attracted $2.6B in a single week, the strongest since October.
BTC ETF had a net inflow of $1.9B last week, with IBIT taking the lion's share; ETH ETF also attracted $697M.
A total of $2.6B, marking the most intense week since October last year.
What’s even more worth watching is the Coinbase BTC premium index.
It stayed in negative territory for a record 97 days and finally turned positive last week. Simply put: spot buying demand in the US mainland has returned, not just Asia and Europe pulling.
But don’t celebrate too early.
About 53,000 BTC flowed into exchanges over the past three days, mainly from short-term holders—indicating rising profit-taking pressure.
The key now: can ETFs continue net inflows at higher prices, and can the Coinbase premium remain positive during US trading hours?
If both signals hold, this looks more like a "healthy rotation after a rise"; if the premium turns negative again and exchange deposits keep rising, the risk of a high-level pullback increases.
Do you trust the ETF buying more, or fear the selling pressure from short-term holders?
#BTC冲高后震荡，ETF资金持续流入
#杰克逊霍尔临近，沃什能否明确政策路径 Good morning, teachers!
$BTC surged sharply and then entered a high-level consolidation. The latest large institutional outflows coexist with improvements in ETF funds, indicating that chips are still being redistributed. The liquidity logic has not been broken yet, but the short squeeze dividend is weakening; technically, the volume contraction and pullback remain relatively healthy. If a volume surge causes a drop back to the breakout platform, concentrated leverage fund liquidation should be guarded against.
$ETH continues to show higher resilience in this round. Recently, ETFs have seen continuous inflows, and the logic of funds spreading from BTC to ETH remains. The technical structure is still repairing, but after a rapid catch-up rally, chips tend to be crowded; if the pullback is on low volume and holds the breakout zone, the bias remains bullish. If BTC weakens, the retracement magnitude may be amplified.
$BICO The trading stimulation after the addition of new trading pairs on Upbit has clearly cooled down, and the market has shifted from news-driven to high turnover digestion. Currently, more attention is paid to volume rather than short-term price fluctuations. After volume contraction stabilizes and volume expands again, there will be a second leg of upside; if it falls back to the starting zone, it indicates that the new liquidity has not yet converted into sustained buying.
$OKB still focuses on X Layer ecosystem expansion, and a box breakout requires volume confirmation; $QQQ was suppressed last night by weakness in chip stocks and high yields, with Nvidia's earnings report this week being key; $SNDK fell nearly 7% yesterday, the AI storage logic remains unchanged but high valuations are beginning to be repriced; $SKHYNIX HBM demand and buyback cancellations continue to provide support, with a medium-term bullish bias but short-term need to digest high-level chips.

#OKX预言家：F1与TI15赛果揭晓 Don't short it, don't short it! 1. If last week's BTC rise was driven by liquidations and ETF funds, then in the coming week, there may be even more positive momentum. For example, MicroStrategy: Switching from selling to buying? 2. Yesterday (Monday), net inflows into ETF funds did not stop, pushing BTC to the 80,000 level. Other mainstream coins are also occasionally pushing higher prices without any signs of slowing down. However, looking at net inflows from ETFs, there has indeed been some decline. But overall, the outlook is still not bearish. 3. Some may think BTC has reached a key resistance level, but I think after several large bullish candles in the previous week, BTC's current trend remains healthy, with the previous small high (around 82,800) likely to be broken. In a bull market, resistance is precisely what the big players break through. 4. Many people are shorting at this position, which is actually easy to understand. However, this 4-hour candlestick also doesn't seem to show any sign of a bearish trend. I'd rather go short or go long with good patterns than short selling. Short selling is the least cost-effective, and it's just going against the big trend. 5. Yesterday, the S&P 500 was down, with many large tech stocks falling. This is actually easy to understand as a shift in hot money funds. Considering the current overall market situation, it's clear that funds have shifted from storage to gold and crypto. Previously, US stocks fell, gold fell, and crypto fell; now, US stocks fall, gold is stable, crypto is stable. Since it's so steady, then...历史可能正在押韵，但 2026 年的市场环境与 2022 年并不完全相同。 回看 2022 年，$BTC 一度跌至 1.75 万美元附近，随后快速反弹，之后又回踩 1.55 万美元区域，最终才逐渐完成筑底。$ETH 也走出了相似的走势。 来到 2026 年，$BTC 已经从 6 万美元下方附近一路反弹至接近 8 万美元，$ETH 也重新站上 2400 美元附近。 但这一次有一个非常重要的不同点： 机构资金正在重新进入市场。 📊 最新数据显示，比特币现货 ETF 单周资金净流入接近 20 亿美元，以太坊现货 ETF 也接近 7 亿美元。这意味着当前市场不仅仅依靠散户情绪推动，机构资金也正在提供一定的买盘支撑。 与此同时，BTC 一度触及 7.95 万美元附近，ETH 重新挑战 2400–2500 美元区域。短期上涨还伴随着空头挤压、流动性改善以及市场对监管环境进一步改善的预期。 但真正值得思考的问题是👇 这到底是新一轮周期底部的开始，还是又一次强势的“超跌反弹”？ 接下来我更关注几个关键位置： 🔹 BTC 能否稳定守住 7.7万–7.8万美元？ 🔹 ETH 能否站稳 2400美元$BTC $ETH $HYPE
What is the outlook for HYPE, and how far can the burn narrative go?
Currently, the hottest coin in the community is none other than HYPE. It has been strengthening steadily through fee-based buyback and burn. Many regard it as the new DeFi leader, but the risks behind the spotlight cannot be ignored.
✅ Core bullish logic
1. Real revenue used for buyback and burn: the platform uses the vast majority of transaction fees to directly buy back HYPE on the secondary market for burning. As long as contract trading volume is maintained, there will be continuous buying pressure in the market. During hot market phases, the burn volume exceeds new token releases, creating net deflation.
2. Advantageous sector: benefiting from the decentralized derivatives sector’s traffic dividends, combined with expansion into RWA (real-world asset) trading, the business has considerable growth potential.
3. Token staking demand: opening trading markets requires staking HYPE, which locks tokens and reduces circulating supply, further shrinking selling pressure.
❌ Risks that cannot be ignored
1. Unlocking selling pressure is the biggest mid-to-long-term risk.
Burning only removes circulating tokens from the secondary market. Team and investor tokens will continue to unlock over time, releasing new tokens continuously. Even with daily burns, new tokens keep entering circulation, so infinite deflation is impossible. Once the market weakens, the selling pressure from unlocking will be very damaging.
2. Everything depends on trading volume. If the overall market cools down and contract activity declines, fee income drops, and the strength of buyback and burn will shrink directly.
3. Valuation is already highly speculative, with market expectations fully priced in. If data falls short of expectations, a sharp correction is likely. Additionally, regulatory risks and competition from peers add uncertainty.
Two possible future scenarios
👉 Optimistic scenario:
The BTC market stabilizes, Hyperliquid trading volume continues to explode, and burn strength surpasses unlocking selling pressure, allowing a chance to hit new highs.
👉 Cautious scenario:
The market oscillates and corrects, contract activity wanes, unlocked tokens flood the market, and even if fundamentals remain unchanged, a deep valuation cut will occur.
A sincere note:
Burning is a strong positive narrative but does not guarantee profits. HYPE is a highly volatile hot coin; it surges sharply when rising but also experiences deep pullbacks when falling.
If you follow this coin, don’t just focus on burn data. Always monitor two things simultaneously: the platform’s real trading volume and token unlocking progress. Manage your position size strictly and absolutely avoid leverage. How powerful is the yellow-haired signal caller???
Honestly, a single social media post from him is enough to stir up the market for small-cap coins.
Looking at past data, once positive remarks are made, the corresponding token’s trading volume can multiply several times in a short period, with a 24-hour surge of 30%‑60%, instantly topping trending charts, and retail investors rushing in massively. But this kind of rise is purely driven by emotional capital without fundamental support.
The power manifests in two scenarios: for small-cap MEME coins with shallow liquidity, social media hype can directly control short-term trends; for large-cap mainstreams like BTC and ETH, such calls only cause brief fluctuations and cannot change the existing trend.
What’s more concerning is the reversal risk. Once rumors are debunked or negative news emerges, it triggers a stampede. Previously, when the TRUMP family denied a new token, the coin quickly retraced within hours, many late buyers got trapped, the team cashed out large amounts and exited, the hype remained but the funds fled.
Essentially, this is event-driven speculation; positive news often signals a selling window. Markets pumped by news come fast and fall faster. Ordinary players shouldn’t FOMO in just because of news; the risk-reward ratio in news-driven battles is very poor.
The above is only a market review and does not constitute investment advice. #BTC冲高后震荡，ETF资金持续流入 #ETH触及2500美元后震荡 $BTC $ETH This week, Waller will deliver an important speech at the Jackson Hole Annual Meeting for the first time as Federal Reserve Chair. How inflation, employment, and economic growth influence interest rate decisions will be the core focus of market interpretation.
In July, the Federal Reserve voted 9-3 to keep interest rates unchanged, but three officials supported a rate hike. After the meeting, Waller did not fully explain the rationale for maintaining the rates nor provide clear guidance on future rate paths, leading to doubts about the transparency of Fed policy communication. What truly impacts the market for investors is whether the decision criteria remain stable and whether policy signals are coherent.
This week's releases of consumer confidence, PCE inflation, the revised Q2 GDP, and durable goods orders will provide important context for the speech. If the PCE shows inflation remains sticky while consumption and business investment stay resilient, the market may raise expectations for a September rate hike; if demand cools and employment pressures rise, it could reinforce a wait-and-see policy stance or even a shift toward easing.
The market is not simply waiting for a hawkish or dovish stance, but whether Waller can answer three questions: how much tolerance the Fed has when inflation is above target; to what extent weakening employment would trigger policy adjustments; and how decision weights are allocated when economic growth conflicts with price stability.
The true test at Jackson Hole is not just the direction of interest rates, but whether the Federal Reserve can rebuild the credibility of its policy communication
#杰克逊霍尔临近，沃什能否明确政策路径 The current environment is very delicate: traditional U.S. Treasury yields are high, but the debt burden is growing heavier; valuations of leading U.S. tech stocks are not low, and for them to continue a major breakout, more new money is needed. Idle funds held by ordinary global investors have been constantly seeking outlets with better returns.
The stablecoin system subtly links the crypto market with the U.S. Treasury market. Expansion of stablecoins creates demand for U.S. Treasuries; conversely, when the crypto market warms up and retail investors enter to buy stablecoins, they indirectly provide funds to absorb U.S. Treasuries. This closed loop offers global capital a new channel.
Institutional funds can support the bottom and defend the market’s floor, but it’s difficult for them to create a grand primary uptrend. To truly push the market to new heights requires continuous inflows from countless ordinary people outside the market.
When the profit-making effect appears and wealth stories start to spread, retail funds from outside will flow in continuously. This portion of capital is the core driving force of the next bull market.
The market is still in the late stage of a bear market, with low sentiment, and most ordinary people are still watching from the sidelines. But cycles always repeat: bear markets accumulate chips, bull markets realize sentiment.
The debt problem of U.S. Treasuries, the reality of global capital seeking new outlets, the institutional possibilities brought by stablecoins, combined with retail investors’ natural pursuit of high-yield assets—these multiple factors intertwine, and the soil for a new bull market in the crypto market is slowly taking shape. Why is the US artificially creating a crypto bull market at this time?
The reason is simple, just two words: debt resolution.
The rise in US Treasury yields indicates no one is buying US debt. The solution proposed by Trump's think tank is—short term, the government buys; long term, the crypto community buys. How does the crypto community buy? With USD stablecoins, because the reserve assets of stablecoins must be US Treasuries.
This is a top-level conspiracy:
US stocks are the first globally to be tokenized on-chain. As a global premium asset, the 24/7 trading of US stocks will inevitably bring global trading volume growth on-chain, which will drive on-chain prosperity. This on-chain prosperity will continuously benefit the crypto second-in-command $ETH. On-chain assets and stocks will form a spiral upward interaction, gradually increasing the total issuance of stablecoins, and continuously strengthening the purchasing power for US Treasuries.
This is a national-level contest, ensuring you are on the vehicle to continue watching the historical drama unfold. Brothers, the market has been crazy lately!
$BTC has risen nearly 30% in 8 days, almost touching 80000, a new high in recent months.
I've been watching the 80000 level for several days; it tried to break through twice but couldn't hold. I'll be ready to short as soon as it gets close again.
$ETH is even stronger, up 30% in a week, hitting 2533. The grid I set up earlier has already made profits, and the stop loss at 2550 is temporarily safe.
I feel this rally is mainly due to the US Treasury expanding bond repurchases, which suppressed long-term bond yields,
plus shorts were liquidated for 4.5 billion, and ETF funds are accelerating inflows.
But don't be too greedy. The Jackson Hole meeting and inflation data are coming this week, likely causing big volatility.
80000 and 2530 are dense zones of trapped positions; without volume breakout, a pullback is likely. Don't chase the highs and manage your positions well.
#BTC冲高后震荡，ETF资金持续流入
#ETH触及2500美元后震荡 Close the short position on $SKHYNIX first, and try small long positions on $SNDK to test the waters. I feel the expectation management for this wave is about right. The Federal Reserve will watch the PCE tomorrow night; the dovish shift is starting to play the rate cut card due to the poor economy and the need to maintain market liquidity. But I'm not fully bullish; it's more about playing the expectations. Market pricing is decided by the market, with sentiment pushing to stabilize it, but this doesn't solve the fundamental problems. Bearish in the mid to long term, bullish in the short term.
Leave some room for yourself; if the market crashes, rate cuts will be easier. #美联储三票主张加息，今晚PCE成新看点 Last night, US stocks began to plunge again. In fact, the reason for the sharp drop is quite simple: the US has officially entered a debt resolution cycle. Yesterday, rumors about Becent using 1 trillion in TGA for buybacks marked that the 4 billion buyback was no joke; this is the US version's "if not enough, you can add more." From 8/24 to 9/24, it's unclear whether it was a coincidence or a cycle of fate. If the U.S. ushers in their 8/24 rally, it means the start of a debt resolution cycle. China's debt resolution involves rolling over various high-interest hidden debts from local governments and swapping them for long-term low-interest debt. U.S. debt resolution involves forced repurchases of low-interest debt swaps and cancellations issued at high prices. China's debt resolution is about interest, while the U.S. is about principal. The U.S. debt resolution is a typical example of only paying Huabei and not the mortgage. But regardless, once debt resolution begins, a country's total macro leverage ratio will be limited. Because debt resolution essentially means the state provides special treatment for certain debts. To handle special cases, the first step is to create some kind of price discrimination, making it easier for the portion of the debt to be processed to obtain financing for other debts. If macro leverage is not generally restricted, policy price discrimination will be quickly diluted by new debt. We are already very familiar with China's macro leverage restrictions, namely the real estate 'three red lines' implemented since 2018. At that time, China's main debt was real estate bonds + local government bonds. Through the three-line administrative control model, we have sealed the leverage of real estate companies, freeing up space for local debt swapping. So beautifulBTC surged past 80,000, ETH is rebounding with some chasing the rally, Strive increased its Bitcoin holdings, but the per-share position only slightly rose. The same set of news shows, on one hand, market sentiment heating up, and on the other, institutional behavior remaining cautious. What does this indicate? Not all actions point to a trend; some are merely reactions to volatility.
1) Market Divergence
2) Event Breakdown
An address spent $25.27 million to buy 10,000 ETH during the ETH rebound, showing short-term funds responding to the rally. Strive increased Bitcoin holdings by 5.5%, but Bitcoin per share only rose by 1.4%, indicating its position adjustment is related to share dilution, with limited actual increase. The market observed BTC surpassing gold and stocks, but this is only short-term performance without policy or macro data support.
3) My Judgment
Bullish logic: BTC breaking 80,000, combined with Treasury's expected long bond buyback, may boost risk appetite in the short term, driving asset reallocation. Risk factors: ETH chasing the rally might be short-term arbitrage, potentially triggering subsequent pullbacks; Strive's low increase ratio reflects limited institutional long-term confidence in BTC.
4) Verification Conditions
For information and market scenario analysis only, not investment advice. Crypto assets are highly volatile; please conduct independent research and manage risks. In the most recent trading day, the US BTC spot ETF saw a net inflow of about $307 million; last week, the cumulative inflow was about $1.92 billion, marking the strongest week in nearly 10 months.
This indicates that the current rally is not solely driven by contract short squeezes; spot funds are also participating.
But what really matters is not how much flows in on a single day, but whether the ETF can continue to maintain net inflows after BTC surpasses $80,000.
#BTC #BitcoinETF#BTC consolidates after a surge, ETF funds continue to flow in #ETH consolidates after reaching $2500 Good morning everyone!
$BTC BTC (Bitcoin)
This round of rally was driven jointly by liquidity easing from U.S. Treasury repo operations, improved expectations for U.S. crypto regulation, and short squeeze, pushing the price up to around $78,000. Spot ETF funds have shifted from outflows to net inflows, and institutional sentiment has clearly recovered. As the market's core anchor, its main narrative remains digital gold, with a capped total supply bringing deflation expectations but no cash flow. There is strong psychological and trapped position pressure at $80,000 in the short term. This rebound is an expected market move; key variables include the Senate vote on the CLARITY Act and monetary policy signals from the Jackson Hole meeting. If policies fall short of expectations or U.S. Treasury yields rebound, a deep correction is likely. Among the three, BTC has the best liquidity and relatively controllable volatility, leading the overall market direction.
$ETH ETH (Ethereum)
This round shows significantly higher elasticity than BTC, representing a catch-up rally among mainstream coins, breaking above the $2400 range. Positive factors come from regulatory proposal-driven industry sentiment recovery, PoS staking remaining high, and slight increases in RWA and DeFi activity. However, real constraints remain prominent: L2 solutions continue to divert mainnet traffic, and mainnet fees have not surged in line with the coin price; the SEC has yet to give a final conclusion on ETH's classification, which remains the largest tail risk. ETH has a high beta, strong upward momentum, but its downward corrections are usually larger than BTC's. Currently, derivative leverage positions are elevated, increasing short-term liquidation risk. The market highly depends on the continuation of the overall market, with limited independent driving power.
$TRUMP TRUMP (Trump Coin)
A typical political MEME coin with no technology, product, or cash flow. Its market moves are entirely tied to Trump's public statements and media hype. This time it surged on crypto policy tailwinds but is unrelated to on-chain fundamentals. The token distribution is highly concentrated, with large holders dominating, turnover rates remain high, and there is significant selling pressure risk from whales. Its logic is disconnected from BTC and ETH; it may not hold up when the market weakens. Once the hype fades, it is prone to rapid crashes. It is only suitable for very short-term sentiment trading, with no long-term allocation logic, and carries a risk level far higher than the first two.
Overall, the market is driven by expected rebounds rather than a fundamental reversal. Going forward, focus will be on Federal Reserve statements and progress on crypto legislation.Is the US Treasury market about to "get oxygen"? The crypto community might sense it first!
Starting September 9, the US Treasury will expand long-term bond repurchases, with at least $4 billion per transaction. Bassett confirmed that no purchases have been made yet, but the market is already watching this timing closely. 👀
This is not just a simple "liquidity injection narrative," but an expectation of improved liquidity in the bond market. If long-term rates cool down, risk assets might find it easier to breathe.
On the market front, $BTC is around $79,909, $ETH about $2,496, and $SOL approximately $102 and stronger, indicating that funds are no longer satisfied with just holding large caps and are starting to test higher volatility. 🚀
However, gold is also strengthening, representing that external uncertainties remain. The market is not taking off in one direction but is a tug-of-war between "risk appetite warming up + hedging demand not fading." ⚡️
Before September 9, do you think funds will continue to bet on risk assets, or wait for the bond market to give an answer first?
