Bullish rebound, quick return
$ETH
Daily chart: Ethereum is the brightest star today, with a 24-hour increase once breaking 20%, reaching a high of 2336, far surpassing Bitcoin's gains. It has been emphasized multiple times before that Bitcoin has been consolidating sideways for two weeks with Bollinger Bands tightening to the extreme; once the direction is chosen, it will run wildly.
The 200-day moving average at 2004 and the 1986-2000 resistance zone were directly pierced by a large bullish candlestick, with trading volume surging by 50%. ETF inflows have been net positive for three consecutive days, totaling about $345 million in August, signaling a clear return of institutional funds.
On the macro side, the Ministry of Finance's bond repurchase to suppress yields is a natural positive for high-beta assets like ETH — a weaker dollar and lower interest rates increase the duration and elasticity of risk assets. In the short term, 2072 is the Fibonacci 161.8% extension level, which was touched today, but if Bitcoin pulls back, Ethereum will likely retreat from the high to test support at 2130-2150.
Undoubtedly, the rhythm this month is to buy on the dip. Trump's White House names: CFTC Chairman Selig is pushing Hyperliquid $HYPE to enter the US in full compliance.
$HYPE rose +15-20% that day. This is not sentiment, but a repricing.
Currently 0 US users. The US is the world's deepest derivatives market, HL is the absolute leader in on-chain perpetuals, with annual trading volume reaching trillions of dollars. Opening the US market = TAM directly steps up.
99% of fees are used to buy back and burn HYPE. Every additional US trade accelerates deflation. This is currently the cleanest flywheel, with no VC grabbing shares.
White House + CFTC endorsement = institutional legitimacy. ETFs and listed companies already hold large positions; once the compliance channel is opened, the nature of the funds will change.
HL is already trading stocks, crude oil, index perpetuals, with 24/7 pricing capability being noticed by traditional markets. Selig previously publicly stated he wants to bring this type of on-chain market into the US.

Marvell secured Google's custom chip orders and expanded its collaboration with Google to cover AI, storage, and networking chips across the board; on the same day, Broadcom dropped 2%. The custom chip (ASIC) market is gradually shifting from "one dominant player" to "multiple players sharing the pie" — cloud providers increasingly prefer in-house development plus multiple suppliers to reduce reliance on a single vendor. This trend is worth watching: whoever wins the custom orders from hyperscale cloud providers locks in a certain cash flow for the coming years. The AI narrative is quietly shifting from "whose GPU is stronger" to "who can help cloud providers save money." Those who understand, understand.$HYPE

I believe this round of BTC breaking through $69,000 is more a resonance of sentiment repair and short covering rather than a fundamental reversal. In the short term, caution is needed for the risk of a pullback due to insufficient volume.
The judgment is based on three aspects: first, VanEck pointed out that multiple capitulation indicators have been triggered, usually indicating that selling pressure is nearing its end; second, Bitcoin's volatility suddenly surged after being at a cyclical low, consistent with a low-volatility breakout technical pattern; third, ETH simultaneously surged 8% with increased volume, showing funds flowing back from altcoins to mainstream coins, but OKX spot trading volume has not significantly expanded, lacking sustained buying support.
Specifically, BTC reached an intraday high of $69,888 on August 19, with a 24-hour increase of over 5%, but then fell back to around $68,000, indicating heavy selling pressure above; ETH reached a high of $2,119, with gains exceeding 8% at one point, but momentum weakened afterward. Current market participation is low, and if the 24-hour trading volume cannot be maintained above $30 billion, the sustainability of the rebound is questionable.
First, a breakout after low volatility needs to be confirmed with volume, otherwise it is prone to be a false breakout; second, when mainstream coins rise simultaneously, priority should be given to observing whether ETH continues to lead, as it is a barometer of fund inflow; third, if the holding cost is below $65,000, $67,500 can be set as a reference take-profit level to avoid profit giving back.
@OKX星球 Every time there's a one-sided short squeeze, the most expensive phrase at the table is "I told you it was going to drop here." See, the price doesn't care at all about what you said before. $BTC squeezed shorts overnight, over 90% of short positions got liquidated, and the comment section immediately split into two camps: one stubbornly saying "It's topped, keep adding shorts," the other rushing in shouting "The bull is back, all in." Both groups actually have equally bad odds—they're both fighting the market with emotions they haven't fully understood yet. The professional approach is boring: if you don't understand it, don't bet; if you do, only place bets with stop-losses. Don't use "not willing to accept it" as a reason to enter. Tonight, are you trading, or just sulking against the market?US Treasury Secretary Yellen suddenly "rescues the market"—what signal does this send to the market? In this macro-sensitive phase, Yellen's market rescue seems so "coincidental"
Just now, the US Treasury Department officially announced that starting September 9, 2026, it will expand the size of single bond purchases from the original $2 billion per transaction to even $4 billion per transaction. This policy covers 10-year, 20-year, and 30-year Treasury bonds.
Simply put, the Treasury is adjusting the market supply of medium- to long-term bonds by increasing the size of single bond purchases to suppress yields. After the announcement, the US dollar weakened, long-term bond yields declined, gold strengthened, and risk markets—especially high Beta assets—saw gains.
This event is a "positive catalyst," but whether it becomes a policy benefit remains to be observed.
1. The short-term increase in purchase size releases marginal liquidity to risk markets, such as Bitcoin starting to rise. Although different from conventional QE, it is beneficial to risk sub-assets. However, this is only a one-time event benefit; given the massive scale of US Treasuries, increasing single repurchases from $2 billion to $4 billion is still a drop in the bucket.
2. The key point is whether the Treasury considers the 5.3% yield on 30-year Treasuries a sensitive red line. This is the greatest significance of this move. If the 30-year long bond yield hits 5.3% and continues to trigger this rule, the event benefit could turn into a policy benefit, which would be the most direct positive for financial markets.
3. If in the future the government expands long bond repurchases, reduces long bond issuance, and increases Bills financing, it could form a medium- to long-term liquidity benefit. Therefore, monitoring the 30-year long bond yield is crucial.
Behind this Treasury move, does it mean Yellen has very low tolerance for the 5.3% yield on 30-year long bonds?
Tonight is actually a hidden dangerous node:
1. Last week's retail data clearly weakened, raising concerns about a US economic slowdown. This week’s important retail earnings reports: yesterday Home Depot showed weakness, today Lowe’s as a major home retailer also showed consumption fatigue. Target’s earnings remained stable, but tomorrow’s Walmart earnings are key. If major retail earnings weaken, economic slowdown and consumption downturn expectations will rise, which, combined with current high oil prices and inflation expectations, will threaten US economic stability and the stock market.
2. The July central bank meeting minutes are about to be released. Because Wash advocated reducing forward guidance, the market did not get sufficient information during the July rate meeting, so these minutes will be a market focus.
So far, the Fed has held rates steady for five consecutive times. In the July minutes, three governors proposed rate hikes, indicating increasing internal division within the Fed. The market is more interested in the attitudes of the majority of officials aside from the hawkish governors, especially regarding inflation, economic growth, and employment.
Most analysts believe the July minutes may be more hawkish than expected, with many officials possibly ready to support rate hikes, especially due to deepening inflation concerns.
These two key nodes will show whether the US economy slows down or loses risk and inflation expectations, or faces the dual risk of rate hikes triggered by high oil prices. The overlap of these risks is crucial for US economic confidence and the stock market. Therefore, I think the Treasury’s choice to increase repurchase limits now is a somewhat excessive "coincidence" to boost the market.
It must be said that macro factors have entered a complex phase. Yellen’s unexpected market rescue and the macro-sensitive factors yet to be verified make tonight’s game unpredictable.
Yellen’s rescue is an event benefit; it cannot yet be proven to be policy-driven or sustainable. If tonight’s minutes are more hawkish and tomorrow’s Walmart earnings show consumption downgrade, the positive and negative factors may offset each other, making the financial market’s long-short game even more complex!$ETH is even stronger than $BTC in this wave. A few days ago, it was still stuck between 1870-1920 pretending to be dead, but yesterday at 8 PM, the 4-hour candle suddenly surged with 30.04 million contracts traded, pushing the price from 1922 all the way up to 2085. Today it surged further to 2342, with volume several times the usual.
The catch-up logic is actually quite clear: BTC first broke through 70,000 to lift the overall market sentiment, and ETH, as the second largest, lagged behind a bit. When funds rotated over, it caused a violent catch-up rally. But the problem lies here — the daily RSI is already at 82.29, which is an extremely overbought zone. Historically, it’s rare for the price to continue rising without a pullback from this level.
Looking at derivatives, the long-short ratio is 0.96, and the funding rate is 0.01%, indicating no crowded rush of longs buying up positions. This suggests that this wave is driven more by spot and FOMO funds chasing, with leverage positions not yet overheated.
My judgment: switching to a bullish direction is fine, but the intraday high of 2342 was just rejected, and the short-term is overbought. Don’t rush in when sentiment is at its hottest.
Key levels: support for pullback is at 2220 and 2100; breaking below 2100 means this catch-up rally needs to rest. Resistance is at 2342; only holding above this can open up more space, otherwise, a high-level consolidation to digest profits is likely. #BTC突破69000美元，这轮上涨能走多远？ #The market is currently betting on a "soft landing," but the real risk is the triple overlay of AI valuation bubbles + long-term interest rate volatility + inflation stickiness.
If overheating in AI infrastructure financing triggers financial stability concerns, the Federal Reserve may be forced to walk a tightrope between "controlling inflation" and "risk prevention."
For risk assets, short-term liquidity easing is positive, but the medium term depends on whether the AI narrative can continue to attract capital. Once AI stocks pull back, the crypto market will find it hard to remain unaffected.

#美联储7月FOMC纪要9比3，官员加息分歧仍在 Add an easily overlooked macro variable to this wave of broad risk asset rally: the yen. Japan's net government bond sales in July hit a new high since 2006, with foreign investors selling 1.28 trillion yen of short- and medium-term Japanese bonds in a single month. The market is betting on a Bank of Japan rate hike in September. The tightness of carry trades has always been a hidden switch for global risk appetite—the chain deleveraging triggered by last year's sharp yen surge is still fresh in memory. Now, with $BTC and $ETH soaring overnight and the dollar weakening, it looks lively, but if the yen starts to tighten, the first liquidity to be pulled out is often the most crowded longs. Don't just focus on the coin price candlesticks; look up at the interest rate spreads. Have you put the yen exchange rate on your watchlist? Genius Trader - Little Soybean (Day6)
$BTC
Daily chart: Yesterday we were still discussing the battle around the 64000 EMA50 for Bitcoin, also warning everyone that a big volatility was coming soon (refer to my past analysis 🧐)
The U.S. Treasury announced it will at least double the scale of long-term bond repurchases to $4 billion, injecting liquidity into the market. The dollar index plunged below 99, hitting a new low since mid-May, and the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield dropped to 4.651% — once the liquidity floodgates opened, Bitcoin surged straight from the 64000 range to 69500, liquidating over $1 billion in shorts within an hour, marking the largest single-hour short liquidation on record since 2021.
From a technical perspective, Bitcoin broke through the 100-day moving average at 66288 and the 200-day moving average at 69047 in one go. The 4-hour RSI shot up to 83.49, indicating severe overbought conditions. The long upper shadow near 69500 suggests strong selling pressure between 69000-70000. The options market had previously accumulated a large amount of downside protection at 60000 and bullish positions at 70000, and now it is realizing the latter.
Whales have increased their BTC holdings by $2.9 billion over 60 days, and ETFs have seen a net inflow of $486 million in two days. These are substantial buy orders, not just pure liquidations. In the short term, the 69000-70000 round number resistance is unlikely to be broken in one go; it will most likely pull back to 66600-67000 to digest the overbought condition before gathering strength. Intraday movement range: 66600-70000. If it stabilizes above 69000 this week, the target will be 74000 directly. Today's crypto ETF trends have a certain consensus. Let me explain: 1) BTC ETF funds have seen net inflows for two consecutive days, with yesterday's net inflows significantly lower than the previous day. This indicates that large institutions' buying intentions at this level are still not unified enough, and Bitcoin is also hesitating below the previous 1-hour downtrend line. Although it kept hurting me, I still made a short position. Use small stop-losses to play for big opportunities. My trading logic is: the driving force of the big market here is still insufficient. Overall, the market is still somewhat bearish. 2) ETH ETF funds have seen net inflows for four out of the past five days. From a price action perspective, it is also quite strong, having broken through the 1-hour triangle convergence pattern, but no effective large bullish candlestick has formed. The main reason may be waiting for BTC to break out effectively and stabilize signals. Another reason ETH is relatively strong is the Ethereum Foundation's launch of the Glamsterdam testnet and subsequent upgrades across various stages. If you want to go long, prioritize ETH; go short, choose BTC. 3) After five consecutive days of zero net inflows for SOL's ETF, it finally saw a small rebound. Yesterday, there was a net inflow of 1.6M, marking the first time in the past month (not going further back) that BTC, ETH, and SOL have seen simultaneous positive net inflows. This could become an opportunity, or it could be a milestone for Dabing to break through a key position. However, before the big band confirms this,$CORE Regarding whether CORE coin (Core) can rise back to $1 (1U) in the future, there is currently significant market divergence and it faces very severe challenges.
According to the latest market data from August 2026, the price of CORE coin hovers around 0.02, which is a huge gap from $1. Based on the current market information, the difficulty and possibility of its return to 1U can be analyzed from the following dimensions:
1. Optimistic forecast: theoretically possible but requires a huge price increase
Some long-term price prediction models hold an optimistic view of CORE coin's future. Some analyses point out that if the crypto market enters a new bull run and CORE maintains a bullish momentum, its price could reach as high as 4.20 in 2026 and possibly 15.00 in 2029. If these predictions come true, CORE coin could not only return to 1U but even significantly surpass it.
2. Realistic difficulties: fundamentals and capital face multiple suppressions
Despite long-term optimistic forecasts, CORE coin currently faces insurmountable resistance in the real market, which is the core reason for its prolonged low price:
* Liquidity exhaustion and whale sell pressure: CORE coin's current daily trading volume is extremely low (less than $4 million), with severely insufficient market depth. A few large sell orders can easily push the price down. Meanwhile, whale holdings are concentrated, and tokens from early mining and airdrops tend to be sold off in concentrated bursts during rebounds, leading to weak upward momentum.
* Continuous token release: CORE's total supply is 2.1 billion tokens, with more than half already in circulation. Mining rewards and tokens for early contributors are still being unlocked periodically into the market, lacking strong deflationary or buyback mechanisms to offset this selling pressure, resulting in a long-term supply-demand imbalance.
* Ecosystem implementation below expectations: Although Core promotes the "BTCFi (Bitcoin Decentralized Finance)" narrative, on-chain real activity and locked capital scale are low, lacking hit applications with strong user retention. The token's actual use cases are limited, making it difficult to generate stable cash flow to support the price.
* Intensified competition in the sector: The Bitcoin layer-2 scaling sector is becoming saturated, with similar projects like Stacks (STX) capturing a large share of developers and institutional funds, continuously squeezing CORE's market space.
3. Technical status: long-term weakness
From a technical analysis perspective, although CORE coin has occasionally rebounded recently (e.g., single-day gains over 10%), it still trades below long-term moving averages like the 200-day MA, with the long-term trend remaining bearish. The current price has dropped over 99% from its historical high (around 6.47), with extremely heavy historical sell positions above.
Summary
Theoretically, CORE coin's return to 1U is possible according to predictions, but this requires extremely stringent conditions: not only must the entire crypto market (especially Bitcoin) enter a super bull market, but the Core ecosystem must achieve substantial breakthroughs in the BTCFi sector, resolve token sell pressure issues, and attract significant incremental capital inflows.
Given the current liquidity shortage, lack of fundamental support, and prolonged weak consolidation, the difficulty of CORE coin returning to 1U in the short term is very high, with a low probability.

I can provide a horizontal reference.$500 billion Wall Street capital is pouring into AI — and can Bitcoin benefit or face risks? 08/20/2026 — The most notable topic There is a major shift happening behind the AI frenzy that the crypto market needs to pay attention to: AI is moving from a “technology spending” story to an “asset financialization” story. NVIDIA has partnered with Apollo, BlackRock, Blackstone, Brookfield, Goldman Sachs, and KKR to build financial platforms capable of raising over $500 billion in external capital for AI infrastructure over time. NVIDBTC’s brief move above $69,000, followed by an easing toward $68,000, matters less as a breakout headline than as a test of demand quality. OKX spot BTC/USDT reached nearly $69,888 and gained over 5% in 24 hours, while ETH/USDT touched about $2,119 with gains above 8%.
The stronger ETH response and VanEck’s view that several BTC capitulation signals have triggered support a measured recovery case. Still, durability depends on whether spot demand persists after short covering and leverage lose momentum. Holding gains as volume and inflows normalize would be the more convincing signal. Not advice, just analysis.
#BTCBreaks69000after Trump raised the odds of compliant US access to Hyperliquid, buyers pushed $HYPE 11% higher. when a regulated venue sends fees from US trading to the Assistance Fund, the fund uses them for automatic $HYPE buys and burns. no disclosed structure does that yet. if regulated intermediaries keep the fees, added US volume leaves the fund's $HYPE purchases unchanged.Overnight, this wave of $BTC short squeeze, those who understand know: it surged from 64K to nearly 69K in one night, $ETH even stronger with +17%, over 90% of the 24h volume was short positions getting liquidated. From a narrative perspective, this isn’t a "bull comeback" sparked by some positive news, but a "devaluation trade" driven by a weaker dollar + Treasury expanding bond buybacks + US debt surpassing 40 trillion, with $BTC just being revalued alongside gold and silver. This macro liquidity-driven rally has the advantage of broad gains but the downside of not following a single narrative—if the dollar or interest rates reverse, the most crowded longs will get hit first. At this point, preserving ammo is more important than chasing highs. Let’s watch and see.The Treasury Department got anxious last night
The 30-year US Treasury yield just touched 5.33% on Tuesday, a 19-year high, and on Wednesday night they announced: the repurchase limit for long-term bonds from 10 to 30 years doubled from 2 billion to 4 billion, starting September 9. The 30-year yield instantly jumped nearly 10 basis points to 5.20%, the 10-year at 4.65%
This is not QE. The Fed's QE is printing money to buy bonds, that's true easing; the Treasury is using the left hand to buy unpopular old bonds with cash, and the right hand to issue new bonds to borrow back, so the total bonds in the market remain unchanged.
Traders see it as "Fed not easing, Treasury secretly easing." BTC and ETH in this wave are less about a fundamental reversal and more a conditioned reflex to implicit easing—gold, US stock futures, and crypto all rallying together, a classic easing package.
BTC surged from 64,100 to nearly 70,000, up about 6%, a new high since June 2; ETH was even stronger, surging over 20% intraday to 2,330, above 2,000 for the first time since May. Nearly $2.5 billion in short positions across the network were liquidated, the largest single-day short squeeze in history, with ETH accounting for over $1 billion.
A 4 billion order is a drop in the bucket compared to the 32 trillion in national debt; deficits, oil prices above 90, and inflation stuck above 2% remain unresolved. Warsh's July minutes were still hawkish, with a 9:3 vote to hold steady and three voters calling for a rate hike, while the Treasury turns around to inject buying power into the long end, a completely opposite direction.
Can this continue? Before November 4, repurchases can only save liquidity, they can't suppress long-term rates. Shorts are hurting, but don't mistake the rebound for a reversal; whether 70,000 can hold depends on whether inflation cooperates The market is extremely fierce; this rally has liquidated large-scale Short positions up to about 1.9 billion USD. However, the amount of stablecoin reserves on exchanges has dropped to around 64 billion USD, thinning market liquidity. Additionally, on 8/19, President Trump called on Congress to pass a version of the CLARITY Act to create a clearer legal framework for crypto.
In summary, I see signs of a strong recovery, but I do not yet consider this a confirmed signal of a new upcycle.
Please pay close attention and make your own decisions.Today, the cryptocurrency market rose, mainly driven by the following three factors:
1. The U.S. Treasury is increasing long-term Treasury repurchases. Long-term Treasury yields have sharply dropped, lowering funding costs, making investors more willing to buy high-risk assets like Bitcoin/Ethereum. This is the most direct reason for the price increase.
2. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has proposed new cryptocurrency issuance rules. This provides project teams with two clearer financing channels, making regulation appear more relaxed, thereby boosting market sentiment.
3. The White House met with leading figures in the cryptocurrency sector today. Both sides discussed tokenization and clear legislation, which made the market feel that policies will support cryptocurrencies, further strengthening market confidence. Additionally, ETF funds have started to flow back, shorts are being squeezed, and prices have surged
#美联储7月FOMC纪要9比3，官员加息分歧仍在 $ETH $BTC The Ultimate Truth Behind CORE's Reconciliation: No Surrender, No Loss! $150 Million BTC Assets Secured, Ending Internal Conflict Completely
The market has misunderstood the reconciliation between Core and Maple: it’s not about conceding defeat, losing a lawsuit, or having the track stolen. Instead, it’s the highest-level business stop-loss game in crypto — neither side admits fault, but neither can afford to drag it out!
1. Full Event Recap: A Top-Tier Cooperation That Fattened the Opponent
In early 2025, Core Foundation and Maple Finance joined forces to launch the heavyweight product lstBTC, opening the Bitcoin staking yield track.
Core fully provided core technology, massive market subsidies, and comprehensive traffic marketing;
Maple was only responsible for asset management.
This cooperation directly ignited the track: Maple’s asset management scale surged from under $500 million to $2.8 billion, and the lstBTC pilot absorbed $150 million in Bitcoin stock assets unilaterally, instantly becoming the hottest benchmark project in BTCFi at the time.
However, after the track was proven and the model validated, Maple directly betrayed and breached the agreement:
They used confidential cooperation data to secretly develop a competing product syrupBTC, openly violating the exclusive 24-month cooperation agreement.
Core, unable to tolerate this, fought back hard by applying for an injunction at the Cayman Islands Grand Court:
1. Forcibly stopping Maple from launching the competing syrupBTC;
2. Completely banning Maple from trading CORE tokens, fully locking down their ecosystem permissions.
After the situation escalated, Maple issued a deadly threat:
They threatened to impair $150 million of user Bitcoin deposits, indirectly implying inability to repay principal and shifting risk.
2. The Deep Truth of the Reconciliation Agreement: No Losers, Only Precise Game Theory
The official narrative is polite throughout: neither side admits fault or breach.
It seems like a draw, but in fact, it’s a carefully calculated exchange of interests, each taking what they need and precisely stopping losses.
Core Rights Maple Obtained
The court injunction was lifted, officially granting syrupBTC compliance launch qualification, preserving their track layout and $3 billion asset management reputation, avoiding financing collapse and institutional decoupling risks caused by ongoing litigation.
Core’s Absolute Core Gains (The Most Critical Takeaway)
1. Preservation of $150 million user BTC assets
This is the first bottom line of the reconciliation! Maple promised full repayment of user principal, completely preventing large-scale asset crashes, user stampedes for compensation, and total brand collapse.
2. Ending sky-high cross-border litigation internal conflict
Cayman court cross-border arbitration and overseas compliance lawsuits incur sky-high lawyer fees and time costs; continuous dragging only exhausts ecosystem energy and keeps pressuring prices negatively.
3. Implicit reconciliation compensation received
The agreement clearly keeps financial terms confidential; the industry assumes Maple paid a large confidential settlement to get Core to withdraw the lawsuit and give up exclusive rights.
4. Completely clearing negative sentiment and stopping market bleeding
Previously, CORE dropped over 90%; ongoing litigation disputes were the biggest emotional suppression. The reconciliation settles all negative dust, fully shedding old burdens.
3. Why This Is Absolutely Not “Working for the Opponent for Free”
Many don’t understand and think Core was stabbed in the back after validating the track, losing more than gaining. Actually, it’s the opposite:
1. The old lstBTC model was already invalid
Early yields fully depended on CORE inflation subsidies, not real ecosystem revenue. After the token’s deep drop, the original model collapsed completely. Even without Maple’s betrayal, the old model would have naturally phased out, so there’s no loss here.
2. Open-source tracks cannot be monopolized forever
The 24-month exclusive agreement only restricts commercial cooperation, not the open-source technology track. Rather than a long-term tug-of-war, it’s better to stop losses gracefully and secure gains.
3. Core’s strategy is fully upgraded
After reconciliation, Core completely sheds inefficient cooperation, no longer relying on third-party asset management, fully building BTCFi infrastructure, advancing SatPay implementation, expanding compliant financial ecosystems, abandoning the old path, and moving toward a higher-dimensional new narrative.
4. Final Summary
The essence of this reconciliation:
Maple paid for track freedom; Core stopped losses, preserved assets, received compensation, cleared negative sentiment, and gained rebirth.
No surrender, no loss, and definitely no defeat!
The so-called opponent betrayal and track theft are just surface illusions.
Core truly won the most critical outcome: user asset security, ecosystem negative clearing, complete end to internal conflict, and a fresh start to welcome the 2026 revenue era.
Having endured the darkest struggles and washed away speculative noise, the true BTCFi leader has already completed its phoenix rebirth.
$CORE #CoreDAO #BTCFiTrack The biggest self-delusion within the $CORE community: comparing CORE to SOL and betting on a desperate comeback.
Many holders treat others' comeback legends as their only hope to break even.
Trapped in long-term losses, many cite SOL's historical performance to convince themselves to hold on.
Endless oscillations and gradual declines, with mounting paper losses and no sign of recovery for a long time. Stuck in the emotional prison of losses, people desperately seek reasons to persist, borrowing others' bull market myths to escape the harsh reality of the market.
Judging a reversal solely by the extent of the drop is a fatal mistake.
SOL's strong rebound after the bear market is not simply because it fell a lot. A complete ecological closed loop, a continuous influx of developers, real on-chain traffic, and sustained incremental capital inflows are the foundation for bottoming out and strengthening; the decline is just a normal cyclical fluctuation.
In contrast, CORE keeps releasing new narratives to maintain hype, but the actual implemented ecosystem is sparse, on-chain real activity is sluggish, and it lacks self-sustaining capabilities. Mountains of trapped positions hang overhead; to replicate a SOL-level rebound requires massive incremental capital to absorb it, and the real-world resistance is hard to overcome.
The market does not sympathize with losses, and cycles do not make exceptions to deliver rallies after big drops.
What determines the future market direction is never how much it has fallen, but whether visible tangible results can be produced to attract incremental capital.
Can constantly comforting yourself with others' wealth stories really bring the long-awaited reversal?
⚠️This is only a personal market review and discussion, not investment advice. Cryptocurrency assets are highly volatile; please make decisions rationally. $BTC surged overnight from 64K to nearly 69K, up 7% in 24h, while $ETH even pushed above 2,200 with a +17% gain. The community generally assumes this is a "bullish comeback." But looking at derivatives, the main fuel for this upward push comes from short liquidations: over 90% of the 24h liquidations were shorts, and the funding rate only mildly turned positive, far from an overheated zone. This means the price is driven by passive short covering, not new longs adding leverage actively—these two have completely different sustainability. How far the short squeeze can go depends not on hype but on when the funding rate truly overheats and whether open interest follows suit. The data won't play along with your narrative. Do you think this is a trend reversal or a collective surrender of the shorts? Despite BTC holding at 69.3K, the rise in altcoins has been selective, and the circulation of small-cap capital has yet to be confirmed. Why hasn't Bitcoin's bullish trend led to a bottom signal for the altcoin? There are three key facts confirmed in the original text. BTC is trading at around 69.3K, while ETH has reached 2.2K. However, altcoin rallies are limited to specific stocks, and there is still no evidence that capital has shifted to all small-cap stocks. Notable stocks mentioned include BEAT, BICO, KAITO, LAB, SNDK, and H, with KAITO facing selling pressure due to the unlock schedule. What this scene means is a differentiation in market structure. While BTC holds strong, capital does not drop to small-cap stocks and remains in relatively liquid ETH or specific thematic stocks. This does not mean risk appetite has recovered, but rather that selective positioning is taking place. For an actual cycle to occur, an increase in altcoin trading volume and a process where support for the declining stocks is reconfirmed. From a position perspective,最脆弱的一环往往不在K线最热闹的地方，而在那些被忽略的清算数据里。 你有没有想过，当所有人都在盯BTC那根大阳线的时候，真正聪明的钱在做什么？ 今天刷清算数据的时候，我盯着$CORE盯了很久。这不是一个很多人讨论的币，但它的清算结构干净得像教科书。1小时内空单被清掉195美元，4小时这个数字跳到9978美元，24小时直接冲到13400美元。多单在4小时窗口几乎被碾碎，1514美元对8464美元，力量悬殊到有点残忍。 但让我停下来多看了两眼的，是那个比例变化。4小时的时候空单清算量是多单的5.6倍，到24小时降到4.16倍。这个数字在告诉我一件事——单向挤压的动能正在衰减，多空力量在悄悄回到平衡。很多人只看到"空单被收割"，没看到收割的镰刀已经钝了。 这轮行情的节奏，其实很像一个标准的趋势生命周期。启动期的特征是试探，4小时窗口那个从195到9978的跳跃就是典型的放量确认。延续期是主升浪，12小时到24小时虽然还在碾压空单，但倍数已经撑不住了。现在这个位置，更像是分歧期——方向还没变，但力度在犹豫。 BTC那边也是同一个剧本。五天横盘，波动率被压到年内最低，然后一根8.7%的阳线直接捅₿ BTC BREAKOUT OR ANOTHER TRAP?
Bitcoin's next decisive move could set the tone for the entire market.
A clean break above resistance with strong volume could attract momentum buyers. Rejection could send traders back toward support.
The key isn't the candle—it's whether volume confirms the move. 👀
#BTCBreaks69000 #FOMC9To3Split Sudden surge! Behind today's market rise, three major events are unfolding one after another
#BTC#ETH#SOL
The market suddenly surged today, leaving many people confused, not knowing the root cause of the breakout. In fact, it wasn't a rise out of thin air; several key pieces of news came from overseas, collectively pushing the coin prices upward.
The first and most direct catalyst came from the US Treasury market. The US Treasury Department increased the repurchase of long-term government bonds, directly driving long-term bond yields to fall rapidly, which lowered market funding costs. In this environment, funds are more willing to flow into risk assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The core driver of this round of rise is the loosening of liquidity.
Secondly, there is a noticeable warming of sentiment on the regulatory front. The SEC introduced new rules related to cryptocurrency issuance, providing project teams with two clearer financing paths. The market generally interprets this as a relaxation of regulatory attitudes, which largely eases previous policy concerns and directly boosts market confidence.
There is also an easily overlooked event: the White House met today with leading figures in the crypto industry to discuss topics like tokenization and clearer legislation. The signal released is that the policy side tends to accept the industry, further dispelling retail investors' policy worries.
With multiple positive factors stacking up, ETF funds have started to flow back in, and a large number of short positions in the market have been squeezed, triggering this rapid surge. But a reminder: positive news landing does not mean the market will blindly keep rising. Going forward, it depends on whether funds can continue to follow. Once the news hype fades, the market may fluctuate at any time. The Ultimate Truth Behind the CORE Reconciliation: No Surrender, No Loss! $150 Million BTC Assets Secured, Completely Ending Internal Strife
The market has misunderstood the Core and Maple reconciliation: it’s not about conceding defeat, losing a lawsuit, or having the track stolen. Instead, it’s the highest-level business stop-loss game in crypto — neither side admits fault, but neither can afford to drag it out!
1. Full Event Recap: A Top-Tier Cooperation That Fattened the Opponent
In early 2025, Core Foundation and Maple Finance joined forces to launch the heavyweight product lstBTC, opening the Bitcoin staking yield track.
Core fully provided core technology, massive market subsidies, and comprehensive traffic marketing;
Maple was only responsible for asset management.
This cooperation directly ignited the track: Maple’s asset management scale surged from under $500 million to $2.8 billion, and lstBTC pilot absorbed $150 million in Bitcoin stock assets unilaterally, instantly becoming the hottest benchmark project in BTCFi at the time.
However, after the track was proven and the model validated, Maple directly betrayed and breached the agreement:
They used confidential cooperation data to secretly develop a competing product syrupBTC, blatantly violating the exclusive 24-month cooperation agreement.
Core, unable to tolerate this, fought back hard by applying for an injunction at the Cayman Islands Grand Court:
1. Forcibly stopping Maple from launching the competing syrupBTC;
2. Completely banning Maple from trading CORE tokens, fully locking down their ecosystem permissions.
After the situation escalated, Maple issued a deadly threat:
They threatened to impair $150 million of user Bitcoin deposits, implicitly signaling inability to repay principal and shifting risk.
2. The Deep Truth of the Reconciliation Agreement: No Losers, Only Precise Game Theory
The official narrative is entirely dignified: neither party admits fault or breach.
Though it seems like a draw, it’s actually a carefully calculated exchange of interests, each taking what they need and precisely stopping losses.
Core Rights Maple Obtained
The court injunction was lifted, officially granting syrupBTC compliance launch qualification, preserving their track layout and $3 billion asset management reputation, avoiding financing collapse and institutional decoupling risks from ongoing litigation.
Core’s Absolute Core Gains (The Most Critical Takeaway)
1. Preservation of $150 million user BTC assets
This is the first bottom line of the reconciliation! Maple promised full repayment of user principal, completely preventing large-scale asset crashes, user stampedes for compensation, and total brand collapse.
2. Ending sky-high cross-border litigation internal strife
Cayman court cross-border arbitration and overseas compliance lawsuits incur sky-high lawyer fees and time costs; continuous dragging only exhausts ecosystem energy and keeps hammering prices.
3. Implicit reconciliation compensation received
The agreement’s financial terms are fully confidential; the industry assumes Maple paid a large confidential settlement to get Core to withdraw the lawsuit and give up exclusive rights.
4. Completely clearing negative sentiment and stopping market bleeding
Previously, CORE dropped over 90%; ongoing litigation disputes were the biggest emotional suppression. The reconciliation settles all negative dust, fully shedding old burdens.
3. Why This Is Absolutely Not “Working for the Opponent for Free”
Many don’t understand and think Core was stabbed in the back after validating the track, losing more than gaining. Actually, it’s the opposite:
1. The old lstBTC model was already invalid
Early yields fully depended on CORE inflation subsidies, not real ecosystem revenue. After the token’s deep drop, the original model collapsed completely. Even without Maple’s betrayal, the old model would have naturally phased out, so no regret.
2. Open-source tracks can’t be monopolized forever
The 24-month exclusive agreement only restricts commercial cooperation, not the open-source technology track. Rather than a long tug-of-war, it’s better to stop losses gracefully and secure gains.
3. Core’s strategy fully upgraded
After reconciliation, Core completely shed inefficient cooperation, no longer relying on third-party asset management, fully building BTCFi infrastructure, advancing SatPay implementation, expanding compliant financial ecosystems, abandoning the old path, and heading toward a higher-dimensional new narrative.
4. Final Summary
The essence of this reconciliation:
Maple paid for track freedom, Core stopped losses to protect assets, received compensation, cleared negative sentiment, and gained rebirth.
No surrender, no loss, and definitely no defeat!
The so-called opponent betrayal and track theft are just surface illusions.
Core truly won the most critical outcome: user asset safety secured, ecosystem negatives cleared, internal strife completely ended, ready to enter the 2026 revenue era unburdened.
Having endured the darkest struggles and washed away speculative noise, the true BTCFi leader has already completed its phoenix rebirth.
$CORE #CoreDAO #BTCFiTrack BREAKING: 🇺🇸 President Trump says the US is considering buying "sizable" amounts of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.💧 LIQUIDITY IS DRIVING TODAY’S CRYPTO STORY
U.S. Treasury plans to double longer-term bond buybacks, helping push the 30Y yield down from a 19-year high near 5.34% to around 5.18%.
Lower long-end yields can ease financial pressure and improve risk appetite.
BTC’s breakout may therefore be about more than crypto.
Watch liquidity. Watch yields. Watch BTC. 📊
#TreasuryUpsBuybacks #FOMC9To3Split #BTCBreaks69000 The crypto market has just experienced a historic-level short liquidation storm. According to Coinglass statistics, on August 19, the total daily short contract liquidation amount across the network reached approximately $1.74 billion, ranking as the second largest in history, only behind the $2.46 billion on October 10, 2025. It should be added that at that time, long liquidations were also severe, reaching $16.7 billion, with a total daily liquidation amount of $19.16 billion, setting the largest single-day liquidation scale in crypto history — it was precisely that wave of impact that directly interrupted the bull market rhythm, and its effects are still repeatedly mentioned in the market today.
Returning to the current data: within 24 hours on August 19, the total network liquidation was about $1.9 billion, with shorts absolutely dominating, contributing about $1.74 billion, accounting for over 90%; longs only liquidated about $180 million. Breaking down by asset, BTC short liquidations were over $1.1 billion, while ETH ranged between $460 million and $510 million. The peak single-hour liquidation was particularly astonishing, with short liquidations concentrated between $1.1 billion and $1.23 billion.
This round of "short squeeze" was not accidental but the result of a positive feedback loop formed by crowded high-leverage positions, breakthrough price surges, and forced liquidations. Many traders had continuously bet on the short side, especially building positions with high leverage, causing extreme crowding on the short side. A typical case came from the Hyperliquid platform: one address holding 1,800 BTC short positions (worth about $117 million, 40x leverage) was completely liquidated; two other addresses with a combined total of about 1,177 BTC (equivalent to nearly $77 million) short positions were also liquidated in succession. The liquidation prices of these whale positions overlapped highly, triggering a rapid price rally — BTC once touched a high near $70,000, with a significant 24-hour increase.
The sharp price surge quickly breached the margin bottom line of high-leverage shorts, forcing exchanges to passively buy to close positions, further pushing up the coin price and triggering more short liquidations. In the perpetual contract market, this feedback mechanism is especially fierce, coupled with thin order book liquidity near key price levels, amplifying volatility dramatically. On-chain data transparency and whale positions being almost "open cards" made them easier targets for market hunting, ultimately resulting in this textbook-level short stampede.The market has already speculated on the "U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve" several times, and this time we finally got Trump’s personal confirmation — a large-scale accumulation plan is under discussion.
Discussion is one thing, implementation is another.
Trump publicly confirmed the plan to massively accumulate Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency reserves, which is a direct upgrade to the national sovereign reserve narrative and is generally bullish for BTC and the overall crypto market. The market had repeatedly traded on expectations of the "U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve" before; this time, those expectations have moved from speculation to official confirmation.
If implemented, sovereign-level buying will directly enter the BTC market, tightening supply further and redefining the price ceiling. But don’t get ahead of yourself: the discussion phase does not mean execution has started; the pace and timeline for implementation remain unclear. In the short term, it’s mostly driven by sentiment and expectation games. If BTC rallies quickly, watch out for profit-taking and increased volatility.
In the medium term, as long as the national reserve narrative is not disproven, every pullback is likely to be seen by investors as a buying opportunity.

#BTC #Crypto100W #白宫会晤加密业，政策成果待观察
On August 19, Trump hosted the White House Crypto Summit, attended by SEC Chair Atkins and CFTC Chair Selig. Executives from Coinbase, Ripple, Gemini, Robinhood, Polymarket, and Kalshi participated. Traditional finance was also present—Nasdaq, NYSE, CME, DTCC. Treasury Secretary Yellen and Commerce Secretary Raimondo were also expected to attend.
The next day, the CFTC followed up. On August 20, the Innovation Advisory Committee held its first meeting with the theme "From Uncertainty to Clarity."
The CLARITY Act did not pass in August; procedural voting is scheduled for September 15. Polymarket's probability of passing has dropped to about 20%. The SEC's meeting planned for last week was halted by the White House, concerned that unilateral rulemaking could affect congressional negotiations. Therefore, the White House chose to gather everyone through an "industry summit," using executive power to advance regulatory dialogue.
The longer Congress delays, the more the executive branch tends to take matters into its own hands. This meeting itself will not have legal effect, but it sends a signal—regardless of whether CLARITY passes, a regulatory framework must be established. Direction is more important than speed.
Congress has delayed the CLARITY Act for 13 months, so the executive branch took direct action. Essentially, this White House meeting brought the SEC, CFTC, Wall Street exchanges, and crypto companies to the same table, bypassing Congress to first build the regulatory framework. ETH is "sideways" near $1,900, waiting for three things
ETH is currently hovering near $1,900, neither plunging nor breaking out. This sideways movement is not resting; it is waiting for three things to happen simultaneously.
First, waiting for the staking provisions of the CLARITY Act to be implemented. Fidelity has already submitted a staking ETF application, but SEC approval requires guidance from the Act. The day staking rewards are clearly defined as non-security distributions, ETH will truly transform from a "zero-coupon asset" into an "interest-bearing asset." Second, waiting for an explosion in stablecoin settlement volume. The details of the GENIUS Act are under consultation, and once the licensed issuance red line is triggered in 2027, compliant stablecoins will flood on-chain, causing ETH’s transaction volume as the settlement layer to grow exponentially. Third, waiting for RWA to shift from an "experiment" to "business." Ethereum already holds nearly 70% of RWA deposits, but the scale is only $7.4 billion—still a drop in the ocean compared to the trillion-dollar traditional finance market. When the regulatory framework provides a clear path for compliant issuance and trading of RWA, the settlement layer value of ETH will be truly re-evaluated. Each of these three things requires time, but all are progressing. ETH at $1,900 is not "lying flat"; it is waiting for all three signals to turn green simultaneously. $BTC Today's big bullish candle for BTC basically means: three weeks of sideways trading with shorts piled up too heavily → a macro news trigger → a chain reaction of short squeezes → price pushed passively by buy orders to the $70,000 threshold.
But looking on-chain: spot trading volume hasn't increased, ETFs only slightly rebounded, and off-exchange funds are completely inactive.
An increase without new money coming in is just people inside the market cutting each other down; after the cuts, it will still fall. I'm not optimistic about this rally, don't get fooled by a single spike to jump on $ETH 比特币昨天突然拉到69000美元附近。 短短几个小时，市场直接炸锅。 超过10亿美元的空头被强平，整个加密市场24小时清算接近20亿美元。(KuCoin) 很多人第一反应是什么？ “牛回来了！” 然后开始找机会追多。 但我反而觉得—— 现在最应该冷静的，恰恰是准备追进去的人。 为什么？ 因为这轮上涨里面，有一部分买盘并不是“看好BTC所以主动买”。 而是空头被爆仓以后，被交易所强制买回来。 什么意思？ 你开了空单。 BTC突然往上冲。 保证金扛不住。 系统直接帮你平仓。 平仓意味着什么？ 空单必须买BTC回来。 于是： BTC上涨 → 空头爆仓 → 被迫买入 → BTC继续上涨 → 更多空头爆仓。 这就是典型的轧空行情。 所以昨天那根大阳线有多漂亮，我反而越不敢上头。 因为最容易让人犯错的，往往不是下跌。 而是这种突然暴涨。 前面还在骂BTC垃圾的人，看到涨起来以后开始喊牛市。 前面不敢买的人，突然开始害怕踏空。 然后杠杆一开。 仓位一上。 真正的风险，才刚刚开始。 当然，我不是说BTC一定要跌。 现在市场确实出现了不少积极信号，包括美国财政部扩大长期国债回购，以及监管层释放新的加密政$BTC $ETH $SOL 这波大涨不是单一利好催生，是宏观流动性、机构资金+空头轧空多重力量共振。 此前AI企业发债、财政赤字、地缘冲突持续推高长端美债收益率，BTC长期被压制在63000附近。而美国财政部扩大长期国债回购规模，直接带动30年期美债收益率从5.33%高位回落，市场流动性预期改善。无息资产BTC吸引力提升，全局风险资产估值天花板被抬高。 流动性预期改善之后行情迎来引爆点：价格上行触发连锁空头清算，全网爆仓13.45亿美元，其中空单占11.91亿，大量高位空单集中强平，形成逼空踩踏行情。不少大额空单在短短两天内直接归零，进一步加速上涨。 同时现货ETF持续大额净流入，贝莱德IBIT持续加码，机构买盘持续托底。大饼打开上行空间后，市场风险偏好回暖，资金向外扩散，存储板块同步走强，SNDK等题材标的迎来反弹，各路山寨币轮番起飞。 ⚠️重点提醒：69400–70000区间堆积大量止盈盘，短线追高性价比很低；若回踩64000–65000区间，才是更优质的承接位置。另外市场上美国加密储备相关消息存在旧闻反复炒作的情况，需要警惕利好兑现后的资金兑现回落。 大方向趋势未变The 3 dissenting votes and the wording in the minutes reveal that the "hawkish" voices are far more complex than they appear on the surface.
The minutes, which voted against holding rates steady and advocated an immediate 25 basis point hike, clearly state that these three officials believe taking action early helps avoid the need for a larger, steeper tightening path in the future.
More notably, the minutes show that "many participants" assessed that if inflation does not decline further, additional policy tightening is likely necessary; some officials even explicitly stated that current financial conditions may not yet be sufficient to push inflation back to the 2% target.
This is not an isolated phenomenon. Current U.S. inflation remains significantly above the Fed's 2% long-term target, partly influenced by energy price volatility and supply chain shocks triggered by the Middle East conflict.
Meanwhile, economic growth is still described as "robust," with productivity gains and strong capital investment, and the labor market basically balanced. This combination of "decent growth and sticky inflation" makes decision-making particularly challenging.
For the market, the signal from these minutes leans hawkish. Although ultimately no action was taken, internal discussions about "whether faster action is needed" were already quite thorough.
Investors need to realize that the Fed's internal consensus is recalibrating—from the previous "patiently waiting for data" stance to a higher alertness to the persistent risks of inflation. If subsequent inflation data fail to continue cooling, the possibility of rate hikes in September or by year-end will heat up again.#美联储7月FOMC纪要9比3，官员加息分歧仍在 $SOL is finally looking decent this wave, but it's a high beta, not the leader.
Last night SOL surged from just over 80 to 86.8 in one go, a single-day +11%, with 24-hour volume doubling. Like BTC and ETH, behind this is the Treasury's "QE Lite" move that ignited the entire risk asset market, and high-beta assets like SOL naturally surged the most. Also, shorts were flushed out this time, with the entire crypto market exploding by 2.9 billion in 24 hours, and SOL got a significant share.
Funding rates have completely flipped to positive, which is a key change. On 8/19 it was still negative (longs lacked confidence), but today it has turned positive: Binance 0.0091%, Bybit 0.0100%, network average 0.0018%. Positive funding rates mean perpetual contract longs are willing to pay to hold positions, shifting sentiment from "fear of highs" to "fear of missing out."
There’s also a story on-chain. Solana plans to cut block time from 400ms to 350ms at epoch 1020 (SIMD-0525), with a roadmap targeting 200ms, promoting "the fastest settlement in the market." This "fast horse" narrative is what traders love to talk about in a short squeeze rally, so SOL outperformed the market beta.
But on the other hand, SOL’s weekly RSI was only 38 before, and the daily rebound doesn’t change the old problem of the weekly trend. Also, its rise relies entirely on sentiment and leverage; once BTC pulls back to 66,600, SOL will also fall the hardest. A single statement from the Treasury caused shorts to liquidate $1.3 billion: Is this BTC move a short squeeze or a new trend?
Last night, the market was still hovering around 64,000, and many had already planned for a "drop back to 62,000."
But when we woke up, $BTC surged from 64,142 all the way to 70,099, currently holding near 69,500. Intraday monitoring shows about $1.3 billion liquidated across the network, with shorts taking the biggest hit.
The most intense part of this move isn’t how much it rose, but that after shorts stopped out, they directly turned into market buying. The more you think it should fall, the higher the price goes.
The trigger came from U.S. Treasuries.
The U.S. Treasury announced that starting in September, the single transaction limit for long-term Treasury buybacks will be raised from $2 billion to at least $4 billion. This isn’t QE, but after the news, the 10-year yield dropped from 4.71% to 4.64%. The market’s first reaction was: long-term interest rate pressure finally eased.
After BTC reclaimed a key level, stop losses, covering shorts, and liquidations piled up, accelerating the rally. The 24-hour contract trading volume exceeded $12.8 billion, but the funding rate was only +0.0085%, indicating longs haven’t aggressively crowded in yet.
What I’m most conflicted about now is: is this a new trend or a large-scale short squeeze?
Only if 70,000 holds can we continue to be bullish; if it falls back below 69,000, last night’s move might have just been macro news plus short covering.
Brothers, do you dare to chase here?
$BTC #美联储7月FOMC纪要9比3，官员加息分歧仍在 $BTC surged from $64,000 to $69,888, with a rise of nearly 9% from the low to the high point.
I wouldn't simply call this wave an "oversold rebound," but I also wouldn't say it has nothing to do with short covering. The real sequence is: U.S. Treasury bonds loosen first, risk appetite warms up, BTC breaks through, and a large number of shorts are forced to cover, further amplifying the gains. 🌊
On August 19, the U.S. Treasury announced that starting September 9, the single repurchase size for 10–30 year Treasury bonds will be increased from $2 billion to at least $4 billion. After the news, the 30-year Treasury yield quickly fell, the dollar weakened, gold rose over 3%, and the market immediately began to reassess liquidity. 📈
However, I wouldn't treat this as a new round of QE. The repurchase hasn't been officially executed yet, nor does it directly create new base money; it looks more like the Treasury is cooling down the tight bond market first.
Next, I'm waiting for BTC to truly hold above $70,000. Only if it holds and retests without breaking down will there be a chance to continue aiming for $72,000; if it falls back below $68,000 and fails to recover, this wave looks more like a quick fix driven by macro news and short squeeze. The news is big, but confirmation still has to come from the price. 👀🧠Market focus is on the Federal Reserve's September rate decision. My judgment: the probability of no rate hike is higher, but a purely dovish market no longer exists.
In the July FOMC vote, it was 9-3, with some members already supporting a 25bp hike, showing a clear rise in hawkish demands. However, with July inflation easing and employment weakening, a rash rate hike would sacrifice the economy, and market pricing leans toward keeping rates unchanged.
Two scenarios briefly outlined:
✅ If there is a rate hike in September: liquidity tightens, US Treasury yields rise, risk appetite declines. BTC and $QQQ will face short-term pressure simultaneously.
✅ If there is no rate hike in September, combined with continued weakening inflation and employment, the market will trade on rate cut expectations, and $BTC and US stocks are likely to strengthen.
A pause in rate hikes is not the ultimate positive; the real big move depends on the formal start of rate cuts later.
The biggest potential risk: inflation rebounds again, market pricing maintains high rates for longer, which will suppress BTC and $SNDK .CFTC Chairman to reveal plans tomorrow: settling old scores, drawing new boundaries
Today, a "five-year trading ban + ten-year registration ban" was imposed on two key figures of FTX, and tomorrow the details of the future regulatory path will be announced—this is no coincidence, it's a signal.
FTX's bad debts are not fully uncovered yet; Ellison and Wang have been asked to "continue cooperating with the investigation," hinting that there may be bigger fish behind the scenes. Fines and guilty pleas are no longer enough; U.S. regulators want to nail down everyone involved one by one.
More importantly, on the same day, the CFTC is soliciting opinions on derivatives based on computing power, with mining computing power to be traded like crude oil and gold. This means: the crypto space as a lawless zone is ending, and everything will be brought under the financial framework.
Institutional funds can enter, but retail arbitrage opportunities will be squeezed. Meanwhile, Anthropic's billion-dollar credit is paving the way for an IPO, accelerating the integration of AI and crypto—the future you invest in will no longer be coins, but computing power and AI infrastructure.
See you tomorrow for the verdict. $BTC 这两天$BTC 暴力突破，重新站上 $68K，ETH也直接突破 $2,000，甚至一度冲到$2,200上方。更重要的是，SOL也开始明显跟涨，市场终于出现了从BTC向主流山寨扩散的味道。 现在盘面我更愿意这样看： BTC → 突破$68K → 资金确认大盘风险偏好回升 ↓ ETH → 突破$2K → 一度冲击$2.2K → 开始接力 ↓ SOL → 突破$80附近 → 高弹性资金开始回归 ↓ BNB / XRP / LINK → 等待资金继续扩散 ↓ DOGE / HYPE等高Beta资产 → 最后才是山寨情绪真正全面打开 这里面我比较关注几个： $SOL 它是我认为最值得观察的第二梯队。因为它不是单纯靠情绪，生态、DeFi、支付和机构产品都有故事。最近SOL相关ETF资金也比较强，所以如果BTC和ETH继续稳住，SOL很容易成为下一阶段资金寻找弹性的地方。 $BNB 逻辑不太一样。BNB背后其实是整个Binance生态，交易、链上应用、手续费、流动性都能给它提供需求，而且今年美国市场已经出现BNB现货ETF产品，机构化程度也在提高。 $XRP 它更像是在交易一个支付 + 监管 + 机The leader has something to say
After the BTC short positions were liquidated, I also reviewed this ETH wave. Ethereum surged from around 1900 directly to above 2400, rising 20% in 24 hours. This was not driven by a single piece of news, but by several factors combined.
First, a reversal in macro liquidity expectations. The U.S. Treasury announced doubling the scale of long-term bond repurchases, increasing each operation from $2 billion to at least $4 billion. The market immediately interpreted this as a "light version of QE." Long-term bond yields fell, the dollar weakened, and the holding cost of non-interest-bearing assets decreased. ETH rose from 1904 to 2112, with a daily volatility close to 11%.
Second, the SEC regulatory framework was implemented. On August 18, the SEC officially proposed a regulatory draft for crypto assets, opening a financing exemption path for projects. Shortly after, the White House held a crypto summit attended by the CEOs of Coinbase, Kraken, Ripple, and Robinhood. These two events together reduced regulatory uncertainty by a notch.
Third, short positions were liquidated. ETH derivatives short positions had been heavily built up. Once the price broke through 2000, short margin calls became urgent, triggering automatic liquidations on exchanges. About $1.57 billion in positions were liquidated within 24 hours, of which $1.41 billion were shorts. The short liquidation scale was 8.6 times that of longs. A total of 114,038 traders were liquidated in this wave. This was not a rally driven by longs, but a short squeeze.
Fourth, ETF funds entered early. On August 17, Ethereum spot ETFs saw a net inflow of $30.85 million, which surged to $71.47 million on August 18, with BlackRock alone contributing $64.68 million. In the first week of August, ETH ETFs had a net inflow of $245 million. Institutions confirmed their direction with real money.
Fifth, the ecosystem fundamentals are changing. BitMine’s ETH holdings have reached 5.815 million coins, accounting for 4.8% of total supply, with 87% staked. The ETH/BTC ratio broke a multi-year downtrend, with funds shifting from BTC to Ethereum. Standard Chartered Bank maintains a year-end target price of $4000 for 2026.
The essence of this ETH surge is the resonance of four factors in the same time window: macro easing, regulatory implementation, short squeeze, and ETF inflows. ETH outperformed BTC because its short positions were more crowded, its leverage structure more fragile, and the short squeeze more elastic. $BTC $ETH $SOL #BTC突破69000美元，这轮上涨能走多远？
The above analysis is time-sensitive; always set your stop-loss orders properly. Good luck.$CORE: (CORE) Progress of Korean Operations｜Institutional Custody, Exchanges, Community Status
1. Institutional Custody Cooperation (KODA)
Korean compliant digital asset custodian KODA has completed integration with Core network technology and is one of the early local custodians in Korea supporting Core PoS staking.
- Value: For local Korean institutional clients, they can participate in Core Bitcoin staking products through custody channels;
- Current status: Technically integrated, but due to Korean crypto regulations, large-scale institutional funds have not yet entered in bulk; infrastructure is ready, business volume pending;
- Positioning: Provides BTCFi staking entry for Korean institutions, a front-end layout rather than direct capital benefit.
2. Exchange Market (Local Korean)
1. Bithumb (leading Korean exchange) has launched the CORE/KRW trading pair, serving as the main trading venue for CORE in Korea, with direct KRW buy orders and a certain proportion of local retail trading volume.
2. Upbit has not yet listed CORE, lacking the traffic boost from Korea's largest exchange.
Market phenomenon: Korean community sentiment is highly volatile, with hype surging during price spikes and heavy sell pressure during declines.
3. Offline and Developer Activities
1. At the 2025 Korea Blockchain Week (KBW), the Core official team will attend with a booth to promote the BTCFi ecosystem and connect with local Korean developers, VCs, and KOLs.
2. No official localized office in Korea; the Korean market is driven by community ambassadors and external partners without an official direct team.
3. No publicly known large-scale Korean local DeFi or RWA projects deployed on the Core chain; the Korean ecosystem application layer is relatively weak.
4. Current Contradiction: Infrastructure Complete, Ecosystem Implementation Insufficient
✅ Completed:
- Custody integration, listing on leading Korean exchange, participation in KBW industry conference; all infrastructure laid out.
5. Future Observation Checklist (Korean Direction)
1. Whether KODA custody will disclose institutional staking scale;
2. Whether CORE can be listed on Korea's largest exchange Upbit;
3. Whether KBW will announce local Korean cooperation projects;
4. Changes in Korean regulatory policies, and whether BTC-Staking products will be deregulated. BTC breaks through $70,000, how far can this rally go? 🔥
Woke up to a completely changed market.
ETH surged significantly, holding above the 2300 mark, and BTC also followed through to break $70,000. This wave is not a mild rebound but a strong, rapid surge.
Breaking down the driving forces behind this rally:
The U.S. Treasury has increased its bond repurchase efforts, leading the market to expect looser trading liquidity, and institutional risk appetite has risen.
During the rally, a large number of short positions were liquidated, with a 24-hour total liquidation volume across the network reaching $1.4 billion. A significant part of the price increase comes from the short squeeze effect caused by forced closures of shorts.
Additionally, the spot ETF has ended its continuous outflow, and we are seeing incremental smart money re-entering the market.
But the faster the surge, the more important it is to stay clear-headed.
This kind of liquidation-driven rally comes hard and can retrace just as sharply. Avoid adding leverage at the top; risks will be magnified exponentially.
No need to rush in to catch the top; waiting for a pullback confirmation before making moves is much safer.
We still cannot directly conclude that the bull market has returned; the key going forward is whether BTC can firmly hold above the $70,000 level.
Today's intense volatility is another test of traders' mindset. 💤

#BTC突破69000美元，这轮上涨能走多远？ Is this a true trend reversal or just a brief rebound after another short squeeze? How far can this rally go?
The U.S. Treasury announced an expansion of long-term Treasury repurchase operations, significantly improving market liquidity expectations. U.S. Treasury yields declined, and risk assets broadly benefited.
A large number of short positions were forcibly liquidated, with liquidation volumes reaching hundreds of millions or even over two billion dollars, forming a typical short squeeze. Positive statements from the Trump administration and regulators on crypto legislation, along with renewed net inflows into spot ETFs, jointly propelled prices to surge rapidly.
BTC successfully broke through the recent consolidation range's upper boundary and key resistance levels. Some analysts point out that after effectively breaking the neckline of the previously formed inverted head and shoulders pattern, the measured target points to the $73,000 to $76,000 range.
We must stay clear-headed. A significant part of this rally is driven by leverage liquidations and short-term liquidity, and the strength of continuous spot buying still needs further observation.
The Federal Reserve's policy path, inflation data, and long-term interest rate trends remain key variables. If yields rise again or risk appetite cools, prices could easily retest previous breakout levels.
The market is currently still in a recovery phase after a major correction, with a significant distance from previous highs. A true new bull market confirmation requires seeing more solid institutional capital inflows and fundamental improvements.
This rebound is expected to test the $73,000-$76,000 range; if it breaks through and holds, the upside potential will further open up. #BTC突破69000美元，这轮上涨能走多远？
