Will the Federal Reserve really cut interest rates in September for $BTC?
Recently, many in the crypto space have been betting on the expectation of a Fed rate cut.
Many assume that a rate cut will happen in September, pushing crypto prices higher.
But looking at the recent macro data, I'm not so optimistic.
There are now two completely different voices in the market.
Some institutions are betting on a rate cut starting in September to inject liquidity into risk assets.
Others believe there will be no rate cut this year at all, and there might even be another rate hike.
Rate cuts are not just about the Fed wanting to cut; they depend on two key measures: inflation and employment.
Inflation is stumbling down but still far from the 2% target, and geopolitical conflicts could push oil prices up again, driving inflation back up.
Employment data is volatile, sometimes cooling off, sometimes very resilient, causing great dilemmas for the Fed's decisions.
Having traded for so long, I've seen many times when the market fully priced in a rate cut prematurely, only for the expectation to be dashed, which then crashes the market.
If there is no rate cut in September, the market that rose on positive expectations will likely face a correction.
Two scenarios:
✅ If inflation clearly falls and employment weakens continuously, there will be confidence for a rate cut in September, which would be positive for risk assets like Bitcoin.
❌ If inflation rebounds and the economy holds up, rates will likely remain unchanged or even lean hawkish, putting pressure on the market.
Don't bet all the market's rise on a rate cut.
Expectations are expectations; actual outcomes are actual outcomes, and the damage from unmet expectations can be severe. #美国PMI创四年新高，9月加息分歧升温 One thing rarely gets the attention it deserves: The debt problem keeps getting pushed down the road. Cutting spending is unpopular. Raising taxes is unpopular. So politically, kicking the can is often easier than making painful fiscal decisions. That’s where scarce assets like Bitcoin and gold become interesting. You don’t have to agree with the politics to understand the demand: When trust in fiscal discipline weakens, people look for assets that can’t simply be printed into existence. That naThe core conclusion of today's market is: risk appetite remains divergent, pressure on traditional markets has not been fully relieved, but the crypto market continues to maintain clear relative strength. On Friday, U.S. stocks rebounded after consecutive corrections but closed lower for the week, with long-term Treasury yields and oil prices approaching $95 remaining the core variables suppressing valuations. Over the weekend, a marginal signal of easing appeared in geopolitical tensions—Iran allowed some Iraqi oil tankers to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, but overall navigation remained far below pre-war levels. BTC is currently fluctuating at high levels around $77,500, and during the traditional market closure, it remains the most direct window to observe global risk appetite. 1. What happened overnight? 1. U.S. stocks rebounded on Friday but did not reverse the overall weak week. Facts: On Friday, the three major U.S. stock indexes all rose: the Dow Jones rose 0.98% to close at 53,277.01 points; The S&P 500 rose 0.43% to close at 7,674.37; The Nasdaq Composite Index rose 0.44%, closing at 26,180.46. But looking at the whole week: the S&P 500 fell 1.43%; The Nasdaq fell 2.05%; The Dow Jones fell 0.85%. Both the S&P and Nasdaq ended their previous three-week winning streak. Market Reaction: Market sentiment on Friday was noticeably more stable than previous trading days, with materials, healthcare, and financials leading gains, and crypto-related stocks particularly strong. Robinhood rose 13.7%, Coinbase rose 8.2%, and Strategy gained 6%. with patrols from behind9月8日，加美"一美元对一美元"开火：Crypto圈的真正风暴不在盘面，在流动性 8月22日，加拿大总理卡尼宣布，因美国对价值200亿美元的加拿大商品征收50%关税，加方将于9月8日起对美国钢铁、乳制品、家电、农业设备、纸浆造纸、电子产品等发起等额报复性关税，加美贸易谈判就此破裂。 【老手的碎碎念】 别只盯着盘面那点波动。9月8日这道线画下去，真正被改写的是全球美元的"出口"。 高关税一上来，美国进口成本被人为抬高，进口总量被压下去——以往美国靠买全世界的货把美元撒向全球的路径，被自己亲手掐了一截。全球能拿到的美元少了，美元流动性供给被动收紧。这事听起来离BTC很远，其实最近。 BTC早就不单是"数字黄金"了。2025年那波冲到11.2万美元，靠的是ETF、财库配置、英伟达+AI叙事的外溢，它已经变成高贝塔的流动性资产——全球风险偏好一收，它先跪；美债实际利率一上，它先抖。 现在加美互砍50%，欧盟、墨西哥、中国那边会怎么想？谈判桌上的筹码逻辑一旦从"互利"切到"对等报复"，关税楔子就钉进来了。徐奇渊那篇讲得透：关税推升美国通胀预期，美债长端利率下行受阻，全球无风险利率降不下来，风险溢The market may be pricing in ZEC becoming the institutional privacy play. Grayscale is pushing toward an NYSE-listed ZEC ETF, while adoption is expanding through payment integrations and shielded transactions. But here’s the catch: • ETF isn’t live yet • No confirmed major inflows • Network fees remain tiny vs. the valuation • ZEC is already around $14B market cap Price is running ahead of fundamentals. I’m not chasing this candle. I want to see the ETF launch, real inflows, and a healthy pullbaBTC is currently at 77,100 (after a weekly rise of over 23%, it failed to break 79.5k and then pulled back), ETH is at 2420 (weaker than BTC, 2500 not broken). Daily RSI is 82–85, 4H RSI is 93, indicating overbought across all timeframes; Bollinger Bands are widening and moving along the upper band, MACD is bullish but 1H momentum is weakening.
Capital flow: BTC ETF weekly net inflow is about 1.92 billion, with a single day peak of 608 million, led by IBIT; fees have turned positive but spot trading volume has shrunk, indicating a "short squeeze + ETF support" rather than new explosive volume.
Macro: 10Y US Treasury yield at 4.7%, with Nvidia earnings on the 26th and Jackson Hole on the 28th setting the tone for continued risk-on sentiment.
SNDK/Hynix line: 54 trillion KRW dumped at Yongin Y2 + Cheongju M17, HBM4 is already in mass production, 2026 capacity sold out, LTA price lock hedges the cycle, waiting for Vera Rubin orders to be fulfilled.
Conclusion: High-level turnover is not a bottom; if 76.5k (BTC)/2400 (ETH) hold, the range will continue, watch for false breakouts; 80k requires volume expansion + ETF continued inflow confirmation, avoid chasing highs during thin weekend liquidity. $BTC dropped 38% from the cycle peak after 320 days.
Compared to the previous cycle, this decline is still relatively mild.
2017-18 reached -83%.
2021-22 reached -76%.
Not saying this is the bottom. But the difference is hard to ignore.
$BTC Don't call it "bottom fishing" now—BTC at 77,000 and ETH at 2,420 represent a high-level pullback after failing to break 80,000, not a bottom. The daily RSI at 82–93 is severely overbought, with a 23% rise over 5 days mainly driven by a short squeeze; short-term holders have turned profitable and selling pressure is gradually increasing.
ETF inflow hit 600 million in a single day (led by IBIT), prices have risen above the 200-day moving average, and fees are neutral. The mid-term structure remains intact, but thin weekend liquidity combined with unanimous bullish sentiment makes it easiest to get stopped out by a spike.
If you really want to enter: wait for BTC to stabilize around the 76,000–76,500 and ETH around the 2,350–2,400 watershed levels before scaling in, with stop losses at 74,500/2,300; chasing now means taking over last week's profit-taking positions. Brothers, today I’m putting BTC and ETH together — these two are currently following a "big brother leading the little brother" script.
Just checked OKX data, $BTC is now at $77,402, $ETH at $2,428. Over the past week, BTC has risen over 20%, once touching a three-month high of $79,455; ETH also followed suit, breaking through $2,400 and holding a key weekly level.
🚀 What happened? "Currency devaluation trades" ignite the dual-core rally
This surge is driven by two forces simultaneously.
First, US Treasury repos acted as the fuse. The US Treasury announced increasing the long-term bond repo size from $2 billion each time to "no less than $4 billion," which the market interpreted as the government actively easing long-end yield pressure. The dollar weakened, gold surged, and Bitcoin, as the core asset of "currency devaluation trades," took off directly. Bridgewater Fund founder Ray Dalio publicly recommended allocating gold and Bitcoin, further strengthening the narrative.
Second, shorts were liquidated in a chain reaction, amplifying the rally. On August 19, about $2.7 billion in short positions were liquidated in the crypto market, the highest on record according to CoinGlass, with BTC shorts alone liquidated over $1 billion within an hour. The buying from short covering combined with genuine buying pushed prices above $79,000.
On the capital side, this week the US spot Bitcoin ETF saw a net inflow of $1.9178 billion, and the Ethereum spot ETF net inflow was $692.6 million, both marking five consecutive days of net inflows. Real spot demand is taking over from short squeezes, which is the essential difference from previous "fake pump" rebounds.
📊 Market status: healthy correction after rapid rise
BTC: Around $77,400, slightly retreating from the $79,455 high. Analysts say this is a "sideways consolidation" after a sharp rise; daily charts enter a correction phase but the mid-term trend remains intact. $80,000 is a psychological battleground; if volume breaks through, the $82,500-$85,000 range opens; if resisted, $75,000-$76,000 is the first support zone.
ETH: Around $2,428, adjusting in sync with BTC. The ETH/BTC ratio strengthening indicates capital flowing from BTC overflow to ETH. $2,300-$2,350 is the key support zone below; holding it means the rebound continues; above, $2,450-$2,500 is short-term resistance.
Risk signal: A mysterious large whale sold 7,700 BTC in the past 3 days, worth about $576.6 million, indicating some big money is offloading at highs. If the SEC’s proposed new crypto asset financing regulations pass, it could benefit mainstream public chain tokens like ETH and SOL.
💰 My view: The trend is there, but watch for pullbacks
This rally has macro catalysts, short covering, and real ETF buying — a triple drive much more reliable than pure leverage-driven moves. But a rapid rise from $63,000 to $79,000, over 25%, carries significant risk chasing highs.
My strategy:
· For those with positions: Hold steady, but consider taking partial profits near $80,000
· For those wanting in: Wait for a pullback to $75,000-$76,000 (BTC) or around $2,350 (ETH) to confirm support before entering
· Focus: Next week’s Jackson Hole central bank meeting; Fed chair’s remarks will be the real "catalyst"
📌 Trading suggestions (for reference only)
· BTC long: Enter on pullback to $75,000-$76,000 with stop loss at $74,000, target $80,000-$82,500
· ETH long: Enter on pullback near $2,350 with stop loss at $2,300, target $2,500-$2,550
· Shorts: Light positions can be tried if rebound near $80,000 (BTC) or $2,500 (ETH) shows weakness, with tight stop loss
· Leverage: Within 3x, as rapid rallies have high volatility
#BTC延续强势，资金流能否持续？ 9月8日这道关税闸门一开，BTC是跟着美股跳楼，还是借机再冲8万？ 8月22日加拿大总理卡尼确认，因美国对价值200亿美元的加拿大商品加征50%关税，加方将于9月8日起对美钢铁、乳制品、家电、农业设备、纸浆造纸及电子产品等实施一美元对一美元的等额报复性关税，加美贸易谈判就此破裂。 【老手的碎碎念】 加拿大这点体量，200亿美元商品的关税，搁全球贸易盘面里其实不算啥惊天巨浪。但架不住它是根引线啊。美加谈崩了，墨西哥会不会跟进？欧盟那一揽子反制草案是不是也要提速？特朗普援引338条款打过来的50%关税本来8月19日就要生效，推迟三天后如今悬而未决——这种"最后一刻反复"最要命，市场讨厌的不是坏消息，是没完没了的悬念。 回到咱们盘面上。8月19日美国财政部把长债回购上限从20亿美元提到至少40亿美元，30年期国债收益率从2007年来高位回落，流动性预期一松，BTC当天就从6.4万区域直抽，三天干到7.8万上方，单周涨幅22%，空单爆仓12.7亿美元，全球近20万人爆仓、总额33.43亿美元。恐慌贪婪指数冲到62，踏入"贪婪"区间，是2025年10月以来最亢奋的一次。 热闹是真热闹。可老哥我得BTC suddenly dropped, and altcoins almost instantly crashed, which actually reveals the truth about this altcoin rally: many gains are not from a spot bull market, but from leverage plus thin liquidity.
$BTC is the risk anchor of Crypto. Once it plunges sharply, contract liquidations, quantitative risk reduction, and market makers withdrawing bids happen simultaneously, causing the order books of small coins to instantly become empty.
So next time, don't just look at who falls the hardest; I actually watch who recovers first.
$BTC falls → altcoins crash → open interest gets wiped out → top 50 holders hold firm → price recovers first.
These coins are the most worth studying.
Because truly strong altcoins are not those that rise the most when $BTC goes up, but those whose market makers still refuse to sell chips when BTC is deleveraging.
#BTC延续强势，资金流能否持续？ Don't call for a cow. Damn it. Bitcoin jumped from 64,000 to 77,000, and at 1900 ETH, I directly drew 2500. Selling 2.6 billion in short positions in one day, it can explode 1 billion in just one hour. The circle started beating drums and gongs again, making it feel like the day of the halving ceremony. Wake up. This isn't bull—it's the bears stacking leverage into a mountain in a dead market, and the Ministry of Finance casually lit a cigarette. Who started the fire? Not Cong or V God, but U.S. Treasury Secretary Becent. Long-term bond yields have soared to a 20-year high, all the money is lying on government bonds to earn interest, and the crypto world is like a morgue. On August 19, he said: 10-year, 20-year, and 30-year government bond repurchases, 2 billion yuan will be upgraded to at least 4 billion, and the market will start on September 9. The next day, he added another blow: 4 billion is the minimum limit. In plain language: national debt isn't as tempting anymore, and the water is starting to overflow. The big bing hardens just by smelling liquidity—this is a reflex, not a awakening of faith. Anyone who tries to bring up halving or institutional entry narratives at this time is either foolish or wants you to take over. The White House actually gave some face. Trump called in Coinbase and Robinhood, shouting to push the Clarity Act through Congress. What do institutions fear most? It's not a drop, it's that compliance people are stuck in subscriptions. Once the pass is opened, ETFs are active. That week, it attracted 1.1 billion in funds, with Ethereum reaching 220 million in a single day, a ten-month high. BlackRock and IBIT alone bear eighty percent of the burden. The play is just these three lines: The Ministry of Finance is easing the water, igniting the fire. The White House gave a legal explanation and opened the door. The shorts have built up their own explosives and ended up blowing themselves up. Once the price breaks, short positions explode, forced buying, breaking again, then exploding again. The gears are biting tight. You see one$BTC $ETH Let's summarize the underlying logic behind the weekend rally leading up to Monday's opening: --- 1. Weekend gains are often due to "thin liquidity"—traditional financial institutions (US stocks, spot ETFs, CME) are all closed during the weekend, and exchange depth and order volume are far lower than on weekdays. - In this "thin liquidity" environment, even a slight buying order or triggering a small wave of liquidation can quickly amplify and rally the price. In other words, the current surge is not necessarily due to institutions buying heavily; it is very likely that the market is too lightly pushed up by sentiment or contract trading. --- 2. Monday faces 'CME gap gap' filling pressure - CME Bitcoin futures halted after Friday's close. If spot prices surges over the weekend, a huge upward gap (CME Gap) will form at the opening on Monday morning. - From a historical pattern, the crypto community is very likely to pull back to fill this gap in the short term, meaning Monday's opening will first buy a dip to cover the gap, then look at the real direction. --- 3. "Expected Front-Running" vs. "Monday's Actual Buying" – Many people (including retail and speculators) thought this way over the weekend: "With prices rising this much over the weekend, there will definitely be institutional buying at the US stock market opening on Monday, so I need to jump in early." - This leads to expectations being overloaded before Monday's open. Once US stocks open Monday night and ETF net inflows aren't as strong as expected, the short-term big players who rushed over the weekend are likely to dump their chips directlyИ BTC, и ETH показывают уже Strong signal потенциального хая даже на дневном ТФ.

ASTER｜8/25 Biweekly Burn Execution (Triggered Tomorrow)
The current plan is to burn about 2.8 million ASTER every two weeks. On August 25, it is necessary to verify the transactions at the burn address and whether the total supply has actually decreased; if not executed, the credibility of the buyback and burn mechanism announced on June 17 will need to be downgraded. Starting September 17, the team's holding of 400 million tokens will begin monthly releases for the first time, about 10 million per month, and it is also necessary to observe whether these enter the market.
HYPE｜9/1–9/6 Core Contributor Unlock (Conflicting Data)
Different sources report inconsistent release amounts for HYPE: CoinLaunch states 6.43 million tokens will be released on September 1, crypto.news estimates about 9.9 million per month based on continuous release speed, while another view holds that tokens are released continuously daily without a concentrated single-day release. From September 1, the actual on-chain received amount and how much enters exchanges should be directly observed.
UNI｜8 Chain Fee Expansion Proposal Voting Window (Expected Late August to Early September)
The community will first conduct a 5-day vote, then submit for on-chain confirmation; after passing, it will take about 2 more days to take effect. At that time, fees from 8 Layer 2 networks and more Ethereum transaction pools may be used to automatically buy and burn UNI. The actual daily burn amount will be key data to judge whether this mechanism is effective.Actual changes: 8/22 Flash Report (citing Farside monitoring scope) reports BTC spot ETF single-day net inflow of $307.5 million, continuous for 5 trading days; ETH spot ETF net inflow of $184 million, continuous for 7 trading days; no significant outflows within the window. Compared to the conflicting data direction from 8/20–21 recorded in the 8/22 scan, the capital flow direction shows consistent signals for the first time, directly touching the demand dimension of the core hypothesis of BTC/ETH "institutional spot absorption." Supporting evidence: Weekly background still supportive — this week's digital asset ETP inflow of $2.2 billion is the largest of the year (CoinShares 8/20), macro drivers (US Treasury repo expansion, weakening dollar) continue but no new events within 24h. If continuous inflows receive SoSoValue dual-caliber confirmation, the biggest uncertainty in the 8/22 scan "new price highs but questionable capital flow" will be partially resolved. Strongest counter-argument: The flash report is from a single source, Farside/MarsBit; data dates and statistical timing have not yet been reconciled with SoSoValue, and yesterday's conflict has not been officially closed; a single-day inflow of $300 million is still small relative to the $78,000 price level and derivatives market scale (short squeeze, over $1.5 billion liquidations across the network), so the market may still be driven by derivatives rather than institutional spot.Cross-chain security incidents, potential compensation sell-offs, and heavy multi-party regulatory pressure have collectively caused a contraction in market speculative liquidity, accelerating large capital withdrawals from high-risk protocols and a comprehensive shift toward mainnet blue chips and defensive assets for hedging.
1. Smart Money Flow and Macro Tone
The macro and industry dynamics over the past 12 hours clearly exhibit characteristics of "risk aversion and liquidity defense" from the perspective of SMC (Smart Money Concepts).
1. Sandbox cross-chain bridge vulnerability suspension (Base & BNB Chain): This incident directly damaged the local on-chain credit system. In terms of liquidity distribution, buyer-side liquidity (BSL) in DeFi and Web3 sectors was hit, prompting smart money to move funds away from high-risk cross-chain protocols and settle into mainnet blue chips.
2. BitMart may partially restart and compensate creditors: This potential repayment action implies that some locked and lost tokens will be released into the market in the future. In the medium to long term, the release of this passive liquidity often translates into substantial selling pressure within specific price ranges (Premium zones).
3. RWA and prediction market regulatory pressure (Fairmint warning and Kalshi lawsuit): This dimension greatly suppresses the bridging expectations of liquidity between TradFi and Crypto. U.S. regulators' crackdowns on prediction markets across states have curtailed speculative liquidity in derivatives markets.Wintermute is sitting on roughly $160M in on-chain exposure, with around $146M in shorts and only ~$13.85M on the other side. That looks aggressively bearish at first glance. But there’s a catch 👀 Market makers don’t trade like retail. They can build positions on-chain while hedging exposure elsewhere, especially on CEXs. Funding can also become a source of yield while the larger book is being managed. So don’t see a huge short wallet and instantly think: “Smart money is dumping.

#AI #Web3 #MPC #Lightning #ThresholdSignatures$77K 的 BTC，热闹是真的，但接盘的人换了一批。 你有没有发现，这轮上涨的"底气"和以前不太一样？ 先说个容易被忽略的数字：美国现货 BTC ETF 这周净流入约 16.1 亿美元，光周四一天就吃了 6.06 亿，是五月以来最猛的单日流入。这个量级说明什么？说明买盘不是散户 FOMO 推起来的，是机构在按季度节奏建仓。 所以我的理解是，$75K 现在是多空分水岭，$80K 是下一个要啃的硬骨头。ETF 资金只要不熄火，BTC 站稳突破位，市场情绪就会从 BTC 外溢到 ETH、SOL、XRP 甚至 HYPE 这类高 beta 资产上。 但我想提醒一句：这轮的结构是"机构托底、散户观望"。如果 BTC 冲高但山寨不跟，或者 ETF 流入突然转负，那表面热闹和真实承接之间就会拉开落差。 偏多路径很清晰：ETF 持续买，BTC 守住 $75K，资金开始向主流山寨扩散，情绪从谨慎转贪婪。 风险路径也要想清楚：ETF 流入是滞后指标，一旦 BTC 冲 $80K 失败，回踩 $75K 以下，杠杆多头会被打得很痛，山寨的跌幅会放大 BTC 的跌幅。 我的判断：这轮更像结构性的趋势起点，而不是短$ETH slowed its upward momentum after reaching the $2500 mark, with consecutive days of short liquidations gradually calming down, and bulls and bears locked in a tug-of-war at a key resistance zone.
The spot price surged nearly 30% within a week, breaking through $2540, while the derivatives market saw over $200 million in short liquidations. The market then consolidated narrowly above $2400.
On the funding side, nearly $700 million in net inflows into spot ETFs were recorded in a single week, while exchange reserves dropped to a low of 6.54 million tokens, with over 42 million tokens staked further tightening spot liquidity.
The rapid withdrawal of circulating supply on exchanges amplified the buying efficiency, with continuous institutional accumulation combined with supply tightening directly driving this pulse-like upward move.
If the spot market can sustain volume and hold above the $2500 watershed, the liquidity premium will spread to the $2575 to $2755 range; if volume fails to expand accordingly, this breakout will quickly fail.
If the price is resisted between $2470 and $2500 and falls below the $2400 support, profit-taking and indicator corrections may trigger a deep pullback to the $2330 to $2350 range.
If ETF fund flows turn to net outflows or exchange spot reserves reverse and increase, the driving logic of chip tightening will be substantially disproven.
The most important variable to watch in the next 24 hours is whether spot ETFs can maintain daily net purchases of over $100 million at the start of the week.

people who missed out are about to be anxious to death
those who shorted on the rebound are about to jump
I also missed out a lot
I can say I caught the bottom
62800 then 68000 and left
there were indeed issues with the operation
Let's look at history
The three cycles from bull peak to bear bottom lasted approximately 410, 364, and 376 days respectively.
The average is 383 days.
The historical highest point of this $BTC cycle appeared on October 6, 2025, around 126,200.
As of today, August 22, 2026, 320 days have passed.
Time is more important than price points
The important time window is from September to November
If you haven't used all your bullets
keep dollar-cost averaging
If you don't have money
keep working hard to make money
There is nothing to be anxious about
and there are many macro events in the next three months
no one knows when they will happen
Keep making money
and then at the lowest possible point
fire your bullets
and then live well
This is already the limit that each of us ordinary people
can achieve The recent major fluctuations in Bitcoin and gold followed by a strong rebound have made me think a lot.
1) To capitalize on a favorable market trend, you can choose low leverage with wide stop-losses, similar to Bitcoin above 60,000 and gold at 4000-4100. If you are optimistic, enter with low leverage and set wide stop-losses; stop loss only if Bitcoin falls below 60,000 or gold below 3950, so you can catch this rebound.
2) During the middle consolidation phase, avoid trading. The more you trade, the more your mind associates it with consolidation, so when Bitcoin breaks through 67,000 or gold breaks 4200, you will inevitably fail to hold your positions.
3) High leverage can be used after a clear breakout from the range. For example, after a decisive break above 67,000, you can chase longs. The stop loss should be set within the range, and take profit can wait until the first pullback from the top appears, then exit on the rebound.
4) Sometimes news actually increases certainty. You need to tell a narrative that convinces the market to have confidence in holding positions. For example, SPCX confirming the date for a new listing, the decline in US stocks and Bitcoin.
After Bitcoin compressed and consolidated for a month, news came out about the US Treasury expanding long-term Treasury repurchases and the White House cryptocurrency meeting. Behind this news catalyst is definitely the involvement of insider trading.BTC hit a high of $79.5K and currently at $78.5K.
Pretty solid.
Still sticking with my original view. Short-term upside is gonna be tough.
Besides the reasons I said before, Strategy is likely to sell some BTC since it's above their cost basis of ~$75K. Selling BTC to repurchase STRC makes total sense.
So I think BTC will back to $75K and chop around there.
Of course, hoping I'm wrong and it just keeps pumping.🚀

But after trading for a long time, you realize— what really gets you hooked is never how much money you made, but that this time your judgment was right. I don't get it right every time. When the market gives an opportunity, I dare to enter; when the market direction is unclear, I dare to wait; after the trend unfolds, what’s more important is knowing when to stop. Many people lose money not because they can't analyze, but because: ❌ They chase when prices rise ❌ They panic when prices fall ❌ They run away after a small profit but hold on stubbornly when losing ❌ They treat 50x leverage as a “money-making machine” Actually, leverage is just an amplifier. If the direction is right, it amplifies profits; if wrong, it also amplifies losses. This position currently has a good floating profit, but what I care more about is the safety buffer of the account. The screenshot shows a maintenance margin rate of 746.1%, which is one of the reasons I dare to take this position. My insight is simple: trading is not about who is braver, but who can survive longer. BTC offers opportunities every day, but your principal is only once. A truly stable trader is not someone who catches every surge and plunge, but someone who knows when to act and when to stay out. This trade earned a profit.

And there are still so many people wanting to buy it, it seems like getting cut on $TRUMP isn't enough yet.
Everyone thinks they are the fastest to make money.
At the same time, it can be predicted that
The "CLARITY Act" probably won't pass this year
because the biggest sticking point is about the president and government officials issuing and endorsing cryptocurrencies.
Since Trump is still launching coins,
that means he hasn't compromised on this point.
With a new coin and new narrative,
this round of $TRUMP might be the last pump before it goes to zero.From my perspective, the VX index still has a long way to go. It might not make much money for half a year, but when it does, it doubles. To me, it’s a kind of protection for going long on US stocks. The volatility for it is very low; it doesn’t have high volatility. It has even hit monthly lows several times. Historically, this price level is a very good bottom-fishing point.
So when will it surge? It will surge only when all the underlying assets are crashing. It’s a panic index, but not the current index—it’s a forward-looking one. In this situation, it can’t fall much, but it can hedge your risk. I think it’s definitely worth holding a position.
At worst, its losses are capped; at most, you lose 5%. If your other assets are making money, spending 5% on insurance is very cost-effective. Because it guarantees that you can react when the market falls, and even when it falls, its rebound is very quick. Looking at history, it has also reached very high levels. Basically, seventy or eighty points are still possible.
Compared to fund managers and big investment banks’ fund managers, our biggest advantage as retail investors is the ability to enter and exit quickly. Our biggest advantage is that we can choose not to sell and hold on. Use your advantages well. But also learn from them on how to hedge some risks—I think that’s a very good path.The market has once again begun to debate a core question: Has this bear market really ended? Jiang Zhuo'er from Lebit Mining Pool has recently given a very optimistic assessment, believing the probability of the bear market ending has reached about 85%, even considering the area around $68,000–$73,000 as a pullback zone worth watching. But another long-term market participant, Hu Wan'er, holds a completely different view. She believes the current rally is more like a rapid rebound driven by news and short covering, rather than a trend bull market after a new round of incremental capital fully enters. From the market perspective, after BTC quickly surged to around $77,000 in a short period, market sentiment has clearly heated up, but the sustainability of spot ETF funds remains worth watching. In some stages, insufficient capital follow-up means the foundation for the rise is not as solid as imagined. What is even more concerning is the significant increase in market volatility recently. XRP experienced a rapid and abnormal decline, and the derivatives market saw large-scale liquidations. The continuous squeeze of high-leverage funds off-exchange indicates that market risks are accumulating rapidly. Jiang Zhuoer is looking at longer-term macro trends; Hu Wan'er focuses on short- to medium-term technical structure and market sentiment. One believes the cycle is turning again, while the other thinks the market may still have a final deep pullback. So, the real danger may not be bullish or bearish, but that during the market's most frenzied moments, people mistake their own judgments for certainty. If BTC continues to break out and hold a key resistance level, the bearish outlook will naturally need to readjust; But if the upward momentum fades,Gold briefly touched $4600 on Friday, surging nearly 5% this week. The 10-year US Treasury yield is still hovering around 4.7%, and gold is stubbornly pushing higher despite the high interest rates.
On August 11, it just broke through 4430, and in less than 10 days, it reached 4600. Moreover, this time it's real money buying — gold funds have recorded the strongest inflow of capital this year, and the options market has shifted from defensive to bullish.
Two points are worth pondering:
First, the US debt scale is still expanding. The 30-year Treasury yield has reached 5.3%, a new high since 2007. Interest expenses are growing, and market confidence in the dollar is loosening. Gold is a direct beneficiary.
Second, Bitcoin has risen from 63,000 to 77,000, up 22%. But gold has also risen during the same period, from 4430 to 4600. Safe-haven funds are not choosing one or the other; both are being bought.
My judgment: this round of gold is not a simple safe-haven rally. It is a market re-pricing of the US dollar credit system under a high interest rate environment. 4600 may not be the end.
If you hold spot gold, don't get off lightly. Fluctuations above 4500 are inevitable, but the trend is intact.
Are your gold positions still open? Grayscale has changed its stance: BTC may have bottomed, this weekly candle is key
Last night, Grayscale posted on X, changing its tone.
Previously, the market consensus was "another crash to the bottom in Q4 2026," but now Grayscale says: this week's rally might be the cycle turning point.
The logic is twofold:
1. Historically, bull-bear retracements usually bottom out after about an 80% drop; this cycle only retraced from the 126,000 high to around 57,000, a drop of about 50%, which is shallower than all previous cycles;
2. Since August 19, a three-day surge of over 21%, with the weekly candle closing up about 22%, wiped out $2.7 billion from the shorts. The short-term holder cost zone (68,500) and the real market average price (75,800) are being reclaimed.
But don't get carried away—Glassnode is still cautious: the realized profit-loss ratio is 0.75, still far from the "seller exhaustion" level of 0.5, Coinbase premium remains negative, and until spot buying fully returns, this should be seen as a "strong rebound during bottom consolidation," not a signal to blindly rush in.
What to watch on the charts:
• Whether the weekly close can hold above the 76,000–78,000 range (this rally's high + upper bound of short-term holder cost)
• If the pullback doesn't break below 68,000–70,000, there is still buying support
• If it truly breaks below 64,000, Grayscale's "bottom" needs to be re-evaluated
Personally, I lean towards: the bottom pattern is flatter than previous cycles, but "bottoming" does not mean "immediate main rise," sideways movement for several months in between is normal. 3,837,000 TRUMP ($9.33 million) was transferred from the TRUMP token team address 1 hour ago, routed through BitGo, and then entered OKX.

Documents disclosed on August 22 show that Trump made large-scale sales of Meta, Motorola in June, switching equivalent amounts into traditional value stocks like Berkshire Hathaway, Visa, and Mastercard. The total monthly transaction volume reached $260 million, with net purchases exceeding $49 million.
This is not an ordinary portfolio adjustment but an early bet on a macro signal.
Trump's selling of tech growth stocks and embracing financial blue chips and insurance giants clearly signals caution toward a "high valuation + high interest rate" environment. Berkshire holds massive cash reserves, while Visa and Mastercard benefit from consumer resilience—he is betting on cash flow dominance under a soft economic landing rather than a rate cut frenzy.
What does this mean for the crypto space?
Short-term bearish: If traditional funds shift to defense and risk appetite contracts, BTC as a high-beta asset may face liquidity withdrawal. Pressure on tech stocks often drags down crypto market sentiment.
But the long-term is more subtle: If Trump worries about dollar credit or fiscal deficits, Bitcoin is one of the hedging tools—though he has not directly bought it. His conservative choices remind us that big money never bets one-sided before the shoe drops.
Before Friday, don’t be swept away by the "short squeeze" narrative. Follow Trump’s discipline—staggered moves, hedging, and holding cash. Wait for macro clarity before deciding direction. Survive first, then wait for crypto’s "Berkshire moment" $BTC has been holding steady at 77000, but the upward momentum is weakening.
BTC has dropped from 79000 to around 77000. The psychological barrier at $80,000 is within reach, but three attempts have failed to break above it. A whale has placed sell orders near 78000, and above 78000 is the top area of the large bullish candle from August 21. In the past 24 hours, $1.238 billion worth of positions were liquidated, with longs liquidated for $742 million. A week ago, shorts were liquidated for $3 billion, and a week later longs have repaid $700 million. Neither side has escaped.
An anonymous whale sold a total of 7700 BTC over three days, about $576 million. Meanwhile, a whale who previously opened a $102 million BTC short position added 1010 BTC three times this morning, increasing holdings to 1792 BTC, with an average entry price of $63,999 and an unrealized profit of $335,000. At the same price, some are selling while others are shorting.
Last week, spot Bitcoin ETFs saw a net inflow of $1.9 billion, and spot Ethereum ETFs had a net inflow of $697 million, totaling $2.6 billion, marking the strongest weekly performance since October 2025. However, the price repeatedly faced resistance near 78000, indicating that some are using ETF liquidity to sell off.
There are two types of sideways movement—accumulation and turnover. Accumulation means chips are concentrating, preparing for the next move. Turnover means some are selling, some are buying, but no one is willing to push higher. Currently, it looks more like the latter—shorts have mostly been cleared, whales have sell orders at 78000, and the force pushing the price up is weakening.
At this level, sideways movement may last longer than a breakout. ETH surges 29%, blowing 260 million dollars—are exchanges running out of coins? Let's talk about the underlying logic behind this rally. Brothers, have a great weekend! The feeling of watching the market these past two days can be summed up in one word: satisfying, but also accompanied by a hint of caution. 📈 As you can see, when BTC repeatedly rubbed around the $80,000 mark, ETH quietly surged, surging nearly 30% in the past seven days to reach $2,546. Coinglass's data is very clear: in total network liquidations, ETH short sellers lost over $260 million. Watching those short-selling friends get repeatedly scrutinized, I can only say: when facing a bull market trend, never rush to catch a flying knife. 🔪 Many fans are asking, why is ETH so powerful? In fact, from the perspective of capital and chip structure, the logic is very clear. First is Wall Street's "scoop of goods" speed. Spot Ethereum ETFs saw cumulative net inflows of nearly $700 million this week, the highest since last October. Institutional funds continue to buy in, which is the strongest confidence. 💰 Secondly, a more critical detail is that "the exchange has no tokens." From June to mid-August, the amount of ETH held on exchanges dropped by about 15%, leaving only 6.54 million tokens. Meanwhile, more than 42 million ETH are firmly locked in the staking network. The number of truly freely circulating "active coins" on the market has dropped significantly. Against the backdrop of sustained net ETF inflows, the chip tightening effect is amplified, and even a slight amount of buying can push prices up. This is actually a sign that the chip structure is extremely healthy. 🔒 Besides the market surface, if we raise our perspective,$BTC $ETH Is the bull market really here?
Recently, BTC and ETH have surged rapidly. Many believe a major bull market is coming, but for now, it can only be considered a strong rebound, not a definitive start of a bull market.
There are several practical reasons for this rise: the market expects the Federal Reserve may cut interest rates later, improving dollar liquidity; institutional ETF funds continue to flow in; additionally, many short positions had accumulated previously, and as prices surged, shorts were forced to cover, pushing prices even higher—this is a short squeeze. ETH has followed BTC closely, with even stronger gains, also driven by ETF policy expectations.
However, a bull market is not defined by a few days of gains. A true bull market requires a continuous influx of new external capital, not just a short-term rally driven by short covering. Market sentiment has just shifted from panic to neutral and has not yet reached a stage of widespread euphoria. There are still many uncertainties ahead: if U.S. inflation rebounds and rate cuts are delayed, the market could easily fall again; if regulations bring more negative news, prices will be directly suppressed.
Historically, the crypto market often experiences "false bull markets," where a sharp rise is followed by a drop back down. We are currently in a recovery phase after a bottom consolidation, showing positive signals but the confirmation process is not complete. Don’t get carried away by short-term surges; high leverage carries great risk, and the market can experience significant corrections at any time.
#BTC延续强势，资金流能否持续？ #黄金突破4600美元，债券避险地位受挑战 #Anthropic拟8月底公开IPO文件，募资或追平SpaceX Many altcoins experienced a collective sharp drop yesterday afternoon, with some targets seeing a short-term pullback of 20-30% directly.
But in my judgment, the main theme of this round of the market has not ended because of this. #BTC延续强势，资金流能否持续？
This round of crash looks more like a concentrated leverage liquidation after continuous rallies.
Recently, BTC surged close to 79,000, the market kept squeezing shorts, and large-scale leverage liquidations have occurred. The altcoin sector attracted a lot of short-term speculative funds, and leverage positions have also piled up to very high levels. A quick market drop wipes out the long positions that chased the highs, which is a common shakeout method during a bull market phase.
The macro-level support logic still holds. BTC has risen over 20% this week overall, spot ETF funds are flowing back, and overseas regulatory attitudes and liquidity expectations have significantly improved compared to before. A single intraday flash crash is not enough to directly reverse the major trend.
Therefore, I will not be swayed by this sharp drop to turn fully bearish.
As long as $BTC can hold the current high-level range, after this violent reshuffle in altcoins, there is still the possibility of a second round of the market. Fundamentally solid targets will be the first to complete repair and rebound. $BTC Is Bitcoin bullish or bearish?
Bitcoin is currently neither "bullish" nor "purely bearish"; it is in the "late bear market + fake bull rebound + 74K–78K range squeeze."
Those calling it bullish are looking at the short squeeze from August 19, when it rose from 64K to 78K, gaining over 20% in three days;
Those calling it bearish focus on the 54% retracement from the October 2025 peak of 126K, breaking below the short-term holder cost line, with Glassnode judging it as the "capitulation bottoming phase."
The truth is: there has been a rebound, but no confirmed reversal.
Let's straighten the timeline:
October 2025: BTC peaks at $126,198
July 2026: drops to around 57K, down 54% from the peak, a typical bear market retracement
August 19: still hovering at 64K, with on-chain short-term holder cost line at 68.5K and real market average at 75.8K pressing overhead; Glassnode calls this the "capitulation phase"
August 19–21: US Treasury extends long-term debt repurchase + Trump gives positive signals + crowded shorts lead to a three-day short squeeze pushing above 78K, with $1.149 billion liquidated in 24 hours, total liquidations $1.321 billion
August 22–23: the upper wick at 78K is rejected, 74K holds, 78K can't be surpassed — a classic range consolidation
So how to define bull or bear?
By traditional definition (retracement >20% from peak and trend break): bear market, ongoing for over 10 months.
By bullish narrative (daily price above 120/200-day moving averages, weekly above 20-week MA, institutional ETF inflows): attempting a bear market bottom reversal. Yi Lihua says "bear trend is over," but Sun Wei and Glassnode are skeptical — volume hasn't expanded, Coinbase premium remains negative, this is just a partial rebound during bottoming.
Three hard indicators to judge for yourself, don't just listen to hype:
Price structure: weekly highs and lows must rise to be bullish; currently, it's just a rebound from 57K, 78K is far below the previous high of 126K, less than half, so it's a bear market wave B rebound.
On-chain cost: price below short-term holder cost (68.5K) is accumulation; price firmly above 75.8K real average is needed to talk about bull return.
Capital nature: August ETF inflows (net $854 million in one week) exist, but Coinbase premium hasn't turned positive sustainably — real US spot demand hasn't taken over, leverage short squeeze is significant.
In summary:
A bull market means "rising and not falling back"; currently, BTC is "pushed up and sold off, dropped and bought" — this is a bottom, not a bull market.
74K is the bulls' lifeline, 78K is the bears' defense line; break above 80K with weekly close stable, then we can talk bull return; break below 64K, the bear market tail will strike again. $BTC After a rapid rise, the crypto market has entered a phase of correction and digestion. $BTC has fallen back to around $77,100, while $ETH has seen a relatively larger correction, currently hovering around $2,420. What really deserves attention is not the red candlesticks, but the beginning of divergence within the market. $BTC's performance is clearly more resilient than $ETH, indicating that current capital may be prioritizing liquidity and more institutional involvement assets. Meanwhile, this week the US spot BTC and ETH ETFs recorded a combined net inflow of about $2.6 billion, making it one of the strongest weekly inflows since October last year. More importantly, on August 21, BTC spot ETFs still recorded about $307 million in net inflows, indicating that institutional funds did not fully exit the market during the high-price volatility. Hidden signal: If $BTC can hold the $74,000–$75,000 range while $ETH and some altcoins continue to perform weakly, the market may not be entering a full-blown decline but rather a more obvious selective rally. 🔥 The next phase may not be "all coins rising together." Capital may be more concentrated in $BTC, highly liquid large-cap assets and sectors with clear capital inflows. The market's rhythm is changing. The most important thing now is not blind bullish or bearish but to observe where funds are actually flowing. #BTC #ETH #Bitcoin breaks through $77,000, ETF funds determine the substance of the movement. More important than the apparent rate of increase is the fact that the source of the funds supporting this rally has changed. About $1.61 billion saw a net inflow into the U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF from Monday to Thursday, with about $606 million flowing in just on Thursday alone. This is the largest daily net inflow since May. During the same period, Bitcoin rose more than 20% for the week, surpassing $77,000. More significant structural change is that, rather than the price increase itself, the main supply-demand driver supporting the rise is institutional spot demand rather than leverage chasing. This rally is different in nature from the short squeeze-type rally driven by forced liquidations in the derivatives market. Net ETF inflows lead to spot buying demand rather than arbitrage capital, meaning buying positions are not vulnerable to funding costs. Therefore, even if a short-term correction occurs, the likelihood of triggering a chain of leverage liquidations is relatively low. However, after a surge of more than 20%, the profits #BTC continues its strength, can the capital flow sustain? #BTC continues its strength, can the capital flow sustain? #ETF has seen capital inflow for five consecutive days, supporting the market bottom, but don't blindly chase the highs📊
BTC spot ETF had a net inflow of $307 million yesterday, maintaining capital inflow for five consecutive trading days.
Single-day data has limited persuasiveness, but against the backdrop of this rapid rebound and improving market sentiment, the signal is clear: price increases have not scared off external capital, and institutions continue to accumulate chips.
BlackRock IBIT attracted $239 million in a single day, still the main force of capital inflow; Fidelity FBTC saw an inflow of $30.1885 million.
Currently, the total net asset value of Bitcoin spot ETFs has reached $96.069 billion, with a historical cumulative net inflow exceeding $53.706 billion. ETFs are no longer just a narrative concept; they are genuinely changing BTC's supply and demand structure and influencing medium- to long-term market expectations.
However, continuous capital inflow does not mean you can blindly chase short-term price increases.
The recent market rally has been very rapid. After BTC strengthened, capital quickly flowed into mainstream and high-volatility coins, causing market heat to soar. FOMO sentiment easily triggers a large number of follow-up buy orders.
ETF buying can support major market moves but cannot immediately absorb the short-term accumulated overbought chips. Even with continuous fundamental positives, mid-term fluctuations and phased pullbacks can still occur at any time.
In my view, this round of continuous inflows is more a proof of mid-term market confidence recovery, not a guarantee that prices will immediately surge further.
In a truly strong trend, pullbacks are part of chip rotation and also a window for new capital to enter; if support during pullbacks fails to hold, even the best data cannot withstand the selling pressure from concentrated short-term profit-taking.
You can remain optimistic mid-term but avoid chasing every bullish candle with full leverage. The bull market is not about who rushes up fastest but about whether you can time the rhythm correctly and survive the entire cycle.
$BTC
#BTC continues its strength, can the capital flow sustain?$BTC Many traders in the market are discussing whether 82000 will become the next key resistance level for Bitcoin?
This price roughly corresponds to the previous stage high in April, which is a zone with concentrated prior holdings and is naturally seen as a potential upward obstacle.
From noon to night yesterday, I continuously tracked the order book depth data on Coinbase, observing the distribution of liquidity orders on the market. During most trading sessions, there were two price levels with considerable clusters of order placements, located at 79000 and 80000 respectively.
After the bulls broke through the 79000 level, the market pulled back, and the current price has stabilized above the 77000 range.
Currently on the Coinbase platform, large orders are heavily concentrated around the 80000 level; looking further up, the next obvious selling pressure cluster jumps directly to 88000, with relatively sparse orders in the intermediate range.
The macro dimension should not be ignored either. The US PCE inflation data to be released next Wednesday requires close attention.
As a key inflation indicator referenced by the Federal Reserve, the strength of the data will directly affect market expectations for the pace of rate cuts, thereby providing directional catalysts for crypto assets. Be cautious of sharp market fluctuations around the data release. #BTC延续强势，资金流能否持续？ #美国PMI创四年新高，9月加息分歧升温 #ETH强势拉升，空头清算超11亿美元 $BTC $ETH BTC 在 77K 附近晃悠，但真正让人睡不着的不是价格，是山寨们突然活过来的那股劲儿。 你有没有发现，最近几天最脆弱的环节恰好是看起来最稳的？ 先说事实。BTC 摸到 79.5K 后回落，现在贴着 77.2K 呼吸。ETH 在 2.42K 附近，明显比大盘扛打。资金没有离场，只是换了个姿势——从"保命"切换成"找刺激"。BICO、OKB、BNB 这些名字重新出现在涨幅榜上，交易所板块尤其扎眼。 这里有个被忽略的信号：当 BTC 在 80K 下方反复试探时，山寨没有跟着泄气，反而接住了抛压。这说明市场情绪不是恐慌，是"等一个理由"。大家在等 BTC 表态，但手里的仓位已经悄悄往高 beta 挪了。 我看到的第二层是：情绪修复比价格修复更早发生。ETF 流入、美元走软、政策面松动的预期，这些早就被计价了。真正在变的是风险偏好的形状——从"只敢碰 BTC"变成"愿意给 ETH 和优质山寨一点耐心"。这种扩散通常不会一天结束，但也意味着，一旦 BTC 再次冲击 80K 失败，最先回吐的不会是 BTC，而是这批涨得最欢的山寨。 多头路径很清晰：BTC 守住 76.5K，ETH 继续跑赢，山寨轮$BTC
The market is currently very difficult to judge because it is influenced by many factors.
However, my bold judgment is that the bear market cannot be declared over yet.
Most likely, it will still go up, just to see if it can reach up and try, then in September to October (possibly even earlier, as this market moves so fast, I don't know if it can hold) it will pull back to 70k–76k. This is the real test to determine whether it is a 2018-style failed rebound or a 2023-style state transition threshold.
100,000 this year is not what I consider likely; more realistically, pushing to 80,000 is more reliable (of course, whether it can actually reach 80k and break through again is unknown), then a pullback, and then decide the overall situation for the fourth quarter. This market's rhythm is really too similar to 2018.
And surprisingly, I found that
The relative amplitude from the first low to the second low in 2018 and now is almost identical;
And in both cases, the second low slightly breaks below the first low;
Both experienced several weeks of consolidation;
And both suddenly broke upward after widespread market pessimism and short accumulation;
So far, it still hasn't broken through the recent truly meaningful mid-term lower high at 82.85k.
Rising from 62k to 79.5k is very impressive, but from the weekly trend definition, it is still just attacking the previous lower high and has not completed a weekly reversal yet. Recap on my thoughts 👇
The buyback announcement Wednesday. The verdict by Friday:
30yr: 5.34% → 5.18% → back to 5.27%. The buyback rally fizzled in 36 hours. Bessent already talking bigger size before operation one even runs (Sep 9th)
Gold: $4,324 Wednesday morning → through $4,600 by Friday. Highest since May, ~5% on the week
Silver: $70. Gold/silver ratio compressing, the whole monetary complex bid, not just gold
DXY: 3-month lows
Read it carefully. Yields round-tripped. Haven't talked about $MRVL for a long time. The US stock market is closed over the weekend, and the token market is still grinding on its own. I've been watching all night, and this position is a bit awkward.
📰 News: Google's trading looks like a long-term logic, but the stock plunged 5.57% on Thursday. TipRanks and Barron's are both discussing the market's disagreement on the realization of positive news, and the battle between bears and bulls hasn't produced a winner.
🔧 Technicals: The daily RSI14 at 56.2 is relatively strong but not overheated. After the MACD golden cross, the red bars are shrinking. The price is stagnating just below the upper Bollinger Band at 242.50. Although MA7/MA25 are in a bullish arrangement, the upward momentum is clearly a bit lacking.
🌍 Macro: The Nasdaq 100 tokens fell slightly by 0.23%. With the stock market closed over the weekend and no real-time anchor, the token's current volatility is more sentiment-driven, so directional references should be discounted.
🎯 Today's view: I'm bearish. After the stock's volume-driven sell-off, the token only shows a -0.57% discount, and the technical momentum can't keep up. There's no sign of strong support at this position, and a short-term catch-up drop is more feared.

SOL mainnet speed-up analysis (compared to ETH)
Latest data
$SOL mainnet has completed a speed upgrade, with TPS significantly increased, transaction speed maxed out, and overall performance enhanced. However, the hardware and bandwidth requirements for core nodes have risen sharply, and operating costs far exceed those of ETH. $ETH node thresholds are more accessible and have a higher degree of decentralization.
Market consensus
$SOL performance has fundamentally changed, making it the biggest beneficiary public chain in this bull market, expected to continue leading.
Underlying logic analysis
SOL focuses on extreme speed and high throughput, sacrificing some decentralization for performance. Its bull market explosiveness, capital heat, and market elasticity are much stronger than ETH;
ETH emphasizes security, stability, a solid ecosystem, and top-level decentralization, resulting in steadier trends and smaller pullbacks.
Raising node thresholds will gradually institutionalize SOL, reducing retail nodes. This does not affect the market in the short term but poses centralization risks in the long term.
Personal view (leaning towards a slow bull market return, personal opinion only, not investment advice)
In this round of public chain market, SOL shows elasticity, ETH is the base holding. $SOL is the core speculative target of this bull market, with high upside and large volatility, suitable for small position speculation, not for heavy holding. from here, BTC can extend higher if U.S. spot Bitcoin funds keep taking in capital after forced buying fades. the funds took in $1.9178b across five positive sessions on August 17-21, fully erasing the prior week's $385.2m outflow, with IBIT supplying $1.3308b. together, IBIT and FBTC supplied 84.7% of the rebound, and more than $4b of bearish crypto positions were liquidated as yields and the dollar fell, so BTC still needs ETF demand to persist beyond one concentrated week.
$BTC BTC hit a high of $79.5K and currently at $78.5K.
Pretty solid.
Still sticking with my original view. Short-term upside is gonna be tough.
Besides the reasons I said before, Strategy is likely to sell some BTC since it's above their cost basis of ~$75K. Selling BTC to repurchase STRC makes total sense.
So I think BTC will back to $75K and chop around there.
Of course, hoping I'm wrong and it just keeps pumping.🚀
