As of August 17 Beijing time, $BTC was still fluctuating around $63,000. Over the past week, prices have pulled back, and spot ETF funds have weakened again. At least from the current capital structure, the market has not yet entered the stage of "buying risk assets with eyes closed." The most noteworthy aspect of this market is not a sudden big bullish candlestick in any track, but whether the money is still in the market and where it is headed. Currently, the total market capitalization of stablecoins remains at a high level. Although there has been a slight pullback in recent weeks, there has been no significant large-scale capital withdrawal from the crypto market. In other words, many funds may not have exited, but rather been watching and waiting. This is very important. The most common misjudgment in the latter part of a bull market is seeing a few coins rise and thinking the "full-scale altcoin season" is just around the corner. But real capital rotation often doesn't happen overnight; it starts with low-risk, highly liquid assets and gradually spreads toward higher Beta levels. $BTC remains the most important liquidity anchor for institutional capital. As long as ETF funds do not flow back into stable inflows, it will be difficult for the overall market risk appetite to truly unfold. But by comparison, $ETH's position is starting to get interesting. In recent periods, ETH ETF funds have clearly outperformed BTC, indicating that institutions are not completely unwilling to increase risk, but are seeking more flexible allocation options beyond BTC. The problem is, on-chain data has not yet fully confirmed a trend reversal, so what you really need to look at here is not a single day when inflows are high$SNDK I originally wanted to short near the previous high, but this "needle spike" almost sent me to the grave.
On the 15-minute chart, the price is still above EMA20 and EMA60, and the MACD is also in a bullish structure, but the RSI has already reached 79.88, clearly overbought in the short term. What's more notable is that when this spike appeared, the volume surged to about 20 times the 20-bar average, indicating that this was not an ordinary fluctuation but a fierce battle between bulls and bears at a high level.
Currently around 1710, the first resistance to watch is near 1775 above, and below, we need to see if 1653 can hold.
The most frustrating thing about this position is: it looks strong, but chasing it easily gets you caught by spikes.
What do you think about this move just now? Was it a shakeout of long positions, or has high-level distribution already begun?

#BTC成交萎缩，ETF买盘能否回暖 Rigidly applying traditional revenue valuations to Bitcoin, I think, will cause distortion. The homepage has already started discussing "crypto valuation shifting toward revenue," but currently, Bitcoin is around 63.06K, down 0.04%, and Ethereum is about 1.88K, down 0.22%. There are currently no signs of price repricing. To judge whether Bitcoin has achieved higher valuations, I prefer to cross-examine three factors: whether net ETF inflows can be sustained, whether long-term holder supply has significantly changed, and whether on-chain settlements and fees are active in sync with fees. Focusing only on income while ignoring scarcity and cash flow can easily lead to biased conclusions. Which metric do you think is best suited for pricing Bitcoin? $ETH $BTC In the micro game of trading psychology, when a group has been trapped for months and has experienced multiple panic washouts, the strongest obsession in their minds is no longer to make double profits, but the extremely humble four words — "break even and run".
Therefore, whenever the market rebounds near the cost line of short-term holders' positions, a massive amount of chips eager to break even will instantly flood the chain.
These speculators who have endured the panic period will rush to place sell orders to break even, forming an extremely heavy iceberg resistance band on the market. If at this time there is no off-exchange new spot buying volume several times larger than this (such as a violent net inflow from ETFs) to forcibly absorb this part of the break-even orders, the momentum of the rebound will be completely exhausted by this selling pressure in a very short time.
#BTC成交萎缩，ETF买盘能否回暖 #SPCX持股结构曝光，哈佛13F重仓 ⚠️Epic rebound but crazy short selling! Is the big chip AI rally all an illusion?
Recently, the most bizarre scene in the global tech market has appeared📉
The South Korean stock market has staged an extraordinary recovery, with the main index rising 6% in a month, the tech startup board soaring 20%, and chip and AI concept stocks collectively regaining ground, seemingly signaling a bull market restart.
But institutional shorts are not buying it at all; instead, they are aggressively increasing their short positions against the trend!
Latest data: The outstanding short balance in the South Korean stock market has surged to 19 trillion KRW, a 14% monthly increase, up 2.27 trillion KRW since the end of July.
The higher it rises, the more shorts increase; the more it rebounds, the more the market is hammered down. This operation directly tears apart the false facade of this tech rebound.
Many retail investors are fooled by the big gains, thinking the AI chip downside is fully priced in and a new rally has begun. But institutions see it very clearly:
This surge is just an oversold technical rebound, not a fundamental reversal!
The core hidden risks from last month's market crash remain unresolved: doubts about AI investment profitability, weak downstream chip demand, and the persistent high risk of a peak in the entire memory chip industry.
Here is the breakdown of the most critical underlying logic:
1. The rally is driven by leverage, not supported by earnings
The South Korean stock market is highly tied to the two memory giants Samsung and SK Hynix, relying on leveraged funds and sentiment-driven rebounds without real orders or revenue support, a typical sentiment bubble.
2. Shorts increasing = institutions hedging early
Professional funds never bet on sentiment; continuous shorting indicates institutions anticipate further correction risks. The current high valuations offer very poor risk-reward and could trigger profit-taking sell-offs anytime.
3. Chip cycle inflection point not reached
Memory chips are a highly cyclical sector; sharp rises and falls are normal. The industry is only temporarily stabilizing, not fully out of the down cycle. Once sentiment fades, the decline will be severe.
Core market-wide impacts
✅ Stock market/chip sector: This AI and memory rebound is a bull trap; avoid chasing highs at elevated levels. A likely volatile pullback will follow, with tech stock risks outweighing opportunities.
✅ Crypto AI memory sector: Sentiment in A-shares and Korean chip stocks directly affects AI memory tokens like SNDK. When the stock bubble bursts, alt memory tokens will be the first to feel the pressure. Avoid chasing overbought targets.
✅ Global risk assets: Increasing divergence in tech stocks quietly warms market risk aversion, overall bearish for the highly volatile crypto market.
In summary: Retail investors chase gains hoping for a bull market; institutions short to prevent a crash.
All current tech rebounds are speculative battles, not trend rallies. Heavy positions will be harvested!

#闪迪投资者日后股价大涨，长期目标待验证 INJ has dropped to this point, and I have actually started to seriously look at it again.
Recently, I went back to review INJ.
To be honest, not many people are discussing this coin anymore.
When the market was good before, INJ was called a “god coin” by many; whenever it rose, there were all kinds of logic: DeFi, derivatives, RWA, institutional finance, deflation.
Now that the hype has cooled down, discussions have decreased.
But I actually think this is the best time to study it, more so than when everyone is shouting about it.
What interests me most about INJ has never been how fast Injective’s technology is, but its token model.
INJ has now entered a full circulation phase.
This is very important to me.
Because when I look at altcoins now, I’m increasingly wary of one thing: continuous unlocking over the next few years.
The project might be good, the ecosystem might grow, but as long as early investors, the team, and various shares keep releasing tokens, there will always be someone taking chips in the secondary market.
INJ has at least basically completed this pressure.
Looking further, there is its buyback and burn.
Injective has upgraded its past Burn Auction to a Community BuyBack, where ecosystem participants can use part of their income to buy back INJ, and the bought-back INJ is permanently destroyed.
Official data shows that over 7 million INJ have been burned so far.
I personally like this model.
But note, I like the “model,” not just because it has the word burn that I’m automatically bullish on INJ.
What really determines whether this has value is whether the Injective ecosystem can continuously generate income.
If the ecosystem has no real trading volume, no fees, no growing user base, then the so-called buyback and burn is just moving tokens from one hand to another.
So now that INJ’s price has dropped, I won’t first ask:
“Can it return to its previous high?”
I ask three other questions first.
Can Injective’s real trading volume grow again?
Can RWA, derivatives, and on-chain finance generate sustainable income?
Can this income ultimately be reflected back to INJ through buyback and burn?
If the answers to all three are yes, then at this low-attention stage, I actually think it’s worth continuing to follow INJ.
But if the ecosystem income never picks up, then no matter how beautiful the words full circulation, deflation, and buyback sound, they can’t solve the problem of insufficient demand.
This is also my biggest change in how I look at altcoins now.
I used to like to find “the next narrative.”
Now I prefer to find a closed loop:
Someone uses it → generates income → income flows back → token supply decreases → holders truly benefit.
I’m willing to spend time on projects that can run this loop.
If they can’t, no matter how sexy the story, I will slowly give up.
So INJ is still on my watchlist, and it’s not low on that list.
Not because I think it will definitely rise.
Much less because “it’s dropped so much it must be the bottom.”
But because it at least gives me a logic that can be continuously verified.
Full circulation solves supply pressure.
Ecosystem growth solves demand.
Buyback and burn solve value feedback.
What’s missing now is data to prove these three things can really connect.
If one day this closed loop works, the market will naturally reprice it.
If it doesn’t, I won’t keep making excuses for it just because I once liked it.
Coins can be studied long-term.
But don’t believe in them long-term.
Study trends, seek certainty.
Reject emotion, respect logic.

⚠️ The above only represents personal research and opinions and does not constitute any investment advice. INJ is a highly volatile crypto asset; full circulation and buyback burn mechanisms do not guarantee price increases. Please make independent judgments and manage your positions and risks accordingly.

#BTC成交萎缩，ETF买盘能否回暖 #SPCX持股结构曝光，哈佛13F重仓 #标普盈利超预期，华尔街为何仍谨慎？ What is the current state of BTC liquidity?
Overall, it is in a significant contraction phase, with multiple indicators hitting historical lows:
· Order book depth halved: Bitcoin's 2% order book depth dropped from about $70 million in early May to $35–40 million by the end of June
· Spot trading volume plummeted: daily volume shrank from about $200 billion at the 2025 peak to around $50 billion currently, only 25% of the peak; January 2026 spot volume fell to the lowest since November 2023; further dropped to $2.2 billion in August
· Extremely sluggish trading volume: recent volume only 95.43, a fraction of the 5-day average (4548)
· Volatility severely compressed: BTC daily Bollinger Band width is the narrowest since January, with price oscillating narrowly between $61,000 and $67,000
Five major reasons for liquidity contraction
1. Large-scale stablecoin outflows
Since 2026, total stablecoin supply shrank from $159 billion to $153.4 billion, a net decrease of $5.6 billion. Binance had a cumulative net outflow of nearly $7 billion in stablecoins in 2026; in July alone, Binance and Bybit outflowed over $2.3 billion. USDT market cap decreased by about $4 billion in 60 days, approaching historically low levels.
2. Weakened institutional inflows
Bitcoin ETFs continue net outflows, Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) buying support has faded, and the market's 30-day rolling capital flow remains in net outflow.
3. Macro liquidity tightening
The Federal Reserve unexpectedly turned hawkish, removing market expectations of easing; U.S. Treasury settlement operations are expected to withdraw about $150 billion liquidity from the financial system.
4. Leverage clearing but depth not recovered
In Q2, Bitcoin and Ethereum long liquidations totaled $8.35 billion, Bitcoin open interest dropped 32%. Although leverage decreased, market depth has not recovered accordingly.
5. Seasonal trading lull
Typical summer trading activity declines, combined with a macro data vacuum, global funds have entered a defensive wait-and-see mode. $BTC $ETH $OKB #BTC成交萎缩，ETF买盘能否回暖 Wow, SanDisk $SNDK is still pushing upwards.
To put it simply, the story from Investor Day is still fermenting, institutions believe that long-term contracts can smooth out the cycle, shorts are forced to keep covering, and analysts raising target prices are directly pushing the stock price higher.
But I always feel it's a bit overhyped; the consumer side is still weak, relying entirely on the cloud providers' story. Now, the good expectations for several years into the future are all priced in. If reality can't keep up with the fantasy someday, the drop will probably be ruthless. #闪迪投资者日后股价大涨，长期目标待验证 #标普盈利超预期，华尔街为何仍谨慎？ #SPCX Shareholding Structure Revealed, Harvard's 13F Heavy Position The latest disclosed 13F filing unveils part of SpaceX's institutional holdings. Harvard Management Company holds about $2.21 billion in market value, instantly becoming its largest publicly disclosed U.S. stock holding, with a position accounting for over half, far exceeding the second place, TSMC, at $350 million. It should be noted that this position was not recently bought on the secondary market but is an early private placement from over a decade ago. With the IPO completed and shares circulating, the paper gains are substantial.
This holding sends two signals. First, major long-term funds are optimistic about the dual main themes of aerospace + AI. Institutions no longer simply regard SpaceX as a rocket company but benchmark it as the next generation of new infrastructure, optimistic about the long-term growth potential of Starlink and AI computing power businesses. Second, university endowment funds are appearing in clusters, with several prestigious schools like the University of California also holding large positions, as long-term funds collectively enter to boost market sentiment.
However, the positive news should not be overinterpreted. Harvard's position is an old one with deep unrealized gains, with no short-term chasing logic, and there is always the possibility of reduction and realization later. The biggest current risk comes from high valuation; after a short squeeze rebound, expectations are fully priced in. If satellite internet and aerospace projects fall short of expectations, a valuation correction could easily follow.
Overall, the news is sentimentally positive but unlikely to independently drive a new round of unilateral large gains. Going forward, focus on tracking more major institutional buying and selling movements. $BTC $ETH $SPCX This time, with SpaceX's first round of lock-up expiration landing, instead of the anticipated sell-off, the stock price actually surged all the way to $140, climbing back above the IPO issue price of $135, rebounding significantly from the low point. $SPCX
There are two reasons behind this rise: first, early shareholders did not rush to dump shares after the lock-up expiration, so the expected stampede did not happen; second, short sellers crowded to close their positions and cover, creating a short squeeze effect, combined with the narrative boost from space AI computing power, all these factors together pushed the price up. $SNDK
But we veterans need to be clear that this is a recovery rebound after risk realization, not a complete elimination of risk. Starlink is profitable, no doubt, but the rocket and AI businesses are burning cash heavily, and there are several more lock-up windows ahead, so the market's ability to absorb shares will still be tested. Sina Finance. $BTC
Don't get overheated and rush in just because the stock price is rising; short squeeze rallies are volatile, so never mistake a short-term rebound for a long-term bull signal. Keep a close eye on earnings reports and subsequent lock-up developments, and make sure to hold your position tightly. What happened? BTC has failed to take advantage of relatively favorable US economic data. The price is still hovering around $62–63K, while inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs in the US have reversed. In the sessions of August 12–13, the Bitcoin ETF recorded about -$61.1 million and -$131.1 million, respectively, after a series of 5 days of cash inflows. It is worth noting that the ETH ETF still had a positive cash flow of about $5.9 million on August 13, indicating that institutional cash flows have not completely left crypto but are trending selectively. Why is it important? A$ETH I hold a long position in ETH at 1878. This trade is not chasing the rally but is based on repeated support around 1865–1875.
Recently, after ETH fell back from above 1900, it has been oscillating around 1870–1890, indicating buying pressure below, but the resistance at 1895–1910 has not been truly broken. Bulls have not yet received a clear confirmation signal.
✔ The advantage of going long at 1878 is that it is close to short-term support, and the conditions for invalidating the trade are relatively clear.
✔ The issue is that the market is still in a consolidation range, BTC is still capped around 63000, and ETH spot ETF fund flows have noticeably cooled compared to the previous week. So currently, it can only be considered as accumulation, not a direct confirmation that a new upward wave has started.
✔ I opened this position with 75x leverage, so I won’t stubbornly hold through major support levels like 1840. The short-term focus is around 1865; if it holds, continue to watch 1895–1910; if there is a volume breakout and a stable retest, then look at 1920–1950.
✔ If 1865 is taken as the invalidation level, the risk from 1878 to 1865 is 13 points. With a 1:3 risk-reward ratio, the target should be at least around 1917, which is close to the 1920 resistance level.
I am still biased bullish, but not unconditionally. The most important thing with high leverage is to ensure stop loss happens before liquidation; you can’t have the direction right but lose the position due to normal volatility first.Brothers, today let's talk about a story of a fall from grace — $KAITO.
Just checked OKX data, KAITO/USDT is currently around $0.3365. How bad is this price? At the end of July, it was bouncing around $1.37, dropping over 75% in just two weeks, wiping out all the gains from July.
What’s even more painful is that the coin’s all-time high was $2.925, and now it’s just a fraction of that.
📉 What happened? From $1.37 to $0.33 in just two weeks
This plunge in KAITO is the result of several factors combined.
1. The "tide went out" on hype-driven speculation
KAITO is about "attention infrastructure" — using AI to track crypto market sentiment and mindshare. In July, the InfoFi 2.0 concept exploded, pushing KAITO from around $0.40 all the way up to $1.37.
But when the hype faded, the money ran faster than anyone else. Daily trading volume shrank from $84 million to $25 million, and total value locked (TVL) dropped from $21.9 million to about $8 million. Gains without real demand support always have to be paid back.
2. Whales are aggressively selling off
CoinGlass data shows the gap between KAITO whales and retail holders remains high, indicating big players are actively reducing positions, believing the current price is still too high.
3. A "bomb" is set to explode on August 20
On August 20, 32.6 million KAITO tokens will unlock, accounting for 3.26% of total supply. The market is already pricing in this selling pressure — running before the unlock is a survival rule in crypto.
4. Derivatives market: longs getting liquidated
The funding rate for perpetual contracts has been negative for several days, showing that everyone is shorting. Long liquidations far exceed shorts, and long leverage has been repeatedly punished by the market.
📊 Technicals: Is $0.33 the bottom or halfway down?
From the chart data, KAITO has already broken below the July launch level of $0.40.
· Current price: $0.3365, at the low range since August
· Support below: $0.266 — if $0.40 is decisively lost, analysts see this as the next target and the lowest point for 2026
· Resistance above: $0.40-$0.45 (previous support turned resistance), $0.80-$0.90 (moving average pressure zone)
💰 My view: Bottom now or wait?
KAITO’s fundamentals haven’t collapsed — the project is still progressing normally, and at the end of July, they launched the Katalyst creator rewards layer, allowing the team to pay based on actual results. But "the project isn’t dead" doesn’t mean "the price won’t keep falling."
The biggest short-term uncertainty is the August 20 unlock. If the market can’t absorb the 32.6 million tokens flooding out, the price may drop further.
My strategy:
· For bottom hunters: wait until after the August 20 unlock. If $0.30 holds, try a small position; if it breaks through, wait around $0.266 to reconsider.
· For holders: if your cost is above $0.40, cutting losses or holding tight both feel uncomfortable — but the selling pressure before unlock is real, so consider trimming positions if it rebounds to $0.38-$0.40.
· The safest: wait for the unlock to settle, panic selling to clear, and right-side signals. Catching a falling knife now has low odds.
KAITO fell from $1.37 to $0.33, and several waves of bottom hunters have already been buried. No matter how good the story, it can’t withstand the double whammy of token unlocks plus whale sell-offs.
#交易之声：你的经验值得被听到 S&P earnings are so strong, yet Wall Street doesn't dare set targets too wildly high
This is very worth pondering
In Q2, US stock earnings exceeded expectations, with many companies outperforming under FactSet's criteria. JPMorgan, Citi, and Yardeni all raised their S&P targets and EPS assumptions. The problem is, the index is already at a high level; raising target prices further implies assuming AI spending will deliver, consumption won't collapse, inflation won't rebound, and oil prices won't cause trouble
When I look at these reports now, what I focus on most isn't the target levels
But whether they acknowledge a "lower margin for error"
High markets are prone to an illusion: because companies are doing well, stock prices can keep rising. But once prices get high enough, good news is just a ticket to enter, surprises are the fuel
It's not that no one is bullish on the S&P now
It's that even the bulls know that every step higher requires delivering results
#标普盈利超预期，华尔街为何仍谨慎？ Many people see EIP-8363 and their first reaction is: reduce issuance, ETH is positive. That's what I thought at first. But after reviewing this draft several times, you'll find it's not just a "reduction in issuance" but a redistribution of the core pie in the Ethereum ecosystem: staking yields. The current mechanism is simple: the more people stake, the lower the yield per individual validator, but consensus rewards continue to be distributed across the network. In theory, even if almost all ETH is staked, the network will continue to distribute money to stakers. This is also the problem. If staking becomes easier—exchanges, LSTs, ETFs, and more—a large amount of ETH will naturally flow to a few custodians, staking service providers, and large institutions. Ordinary holders who do not stake will continue to bear the dilution caused by new issuance; Those who control the traffic entry point just sit back and reap the profits. EIP-8363 aims to address this issue. It doesn't directly cut staking rewards, but rather that the higher the staking scale, the more new issuance in the consensus layer is offset. According to the draft, when the total network staked approaches about 60.25 million ETH, roughly half of the total supply, the new issuance of the consensus layer is fully offset. The entire process will be gradually transitioned over about 18 months, not by suddenly halving tomorrow. Note, the compressed content here is the **consensus layer issuance reward**. Priority fees and MEV are not the same thing. So for different people, the results are completely different. Non-staking holders will say: Finally, you don't have to look at what you holdThe market's biggest fear about weakening consumption is not that people stop spending,
but that people stop spending while inflation hasn't fully eased yet.
U.S. retail sales unexpectedly declined in July, and consumer confidence is also weighed down by high oil prices and price pressures. Normally, cooling consumption should help ease pressure on the Fed, but the problem now is that energy, services, and wages won't immediately comply just because of one retail data point.
I think the trading here is especially conflicted.
Bad data makes people want to bet on a policy shift, but before inflation drops to a comfortably low level, the Fed can't ease too quickly. So the market is caught in the middle: on one hand, hoping cooling will lead to easing, on the other hand, worrying that cooling will first hurt corporate income.
This is not a classic bullish scenario.
It's more like a car running low on fuel, but the brakes haven't been fixed yet.
#消费动能转弱，9月政策仍受通胀制约 Assets like SpaceX are starting to appear in 13F filings. The most interesting part isn't who bought how much, but that private unicorns are being "dissected" by the public market.
When long-term funds like Harvard show up in the conversation, many instinctively see it as an endorsement. But 13F has a very annoying detail: it is inherently delayed, and when disclosed, the market sees a snapshot from the end of a past quarter, not the real position today.
I prefer to treat it as a signal.
After SpaceX goes public, stories that could only circulate in private equity, funds, or secondary shares before will start to become assets that ordinary investors can also compare. Starlink, launches, AI computing power, military contracts—all compressed into one stock ticker for trading.
This will bring liquidity but also misinterpretation.
The more legendary the company, the more cautious everyone should be about mistaking "position disclosure" for a "future guarantee".
#SPCX持股结构曝光，哈佛13F重仓 This is not about gambling to get rich quickly, but about waiting for a "validation." After experiencing a 98% crash, the obsession with "breaking even" has surpassed the fantasy of "getting rich." But the harsh reality is that the project's fundamentals have not improved, and the "proof" you are waiting for may never come.
Why do you have the obsession to "wait a little longer"?
Your persistence stems from the typical "disposition effect" psychology: when facing huge losses, the brain instinctively refuses to admit failure, equating "selling" with "admitting a mistake." What you fear is not the loss itself, but the regret of "why didn’t I wait longer" when you see it rise someday in the future.
The harsh reality: why the "proof" is hard to come by
Rational analysis shows that the probability of this "proof" happening is extremely low because the project is facing a triple deadlock:
- The narrative is dead, and the sector is overcrowded: CoreDAO’s core story is "connecting Bitcoin to DeFi" (BTCFi). But now this sector is filled with stronger competitors (such as Babylon, Sovereign Rollups). CoreDAO has lost its first-mover advantage and lacks a unique technological moat.
- Price collapse, confidence shattered: From a historical high of $6.14, it has plummeted to around $0.02, a drop of over 98%. This extreme wealth destruction effect deters any new funds from entering, creating a vicious cycle of "no buyers means no price increase, no price increase means no buyers."
- Ecological hollowing out: Although the project team launched applications like SatPay, there is a lack of real user growth and revenue. Instead, due to the project’s popularity, many scammers have used its name to "run away" and "phish," further worsening the survival environment.
A suggestion for those "holding on a bit longer"
If you decide to continue holding, please do not treat it as an "investment" but as a "souvenir of sunk costs."
1. Stop averaging down: Don’t try to "dilute your cost" by adding more; this is throwing more money into a possibly bottomless pit.
2. Set a bottom line: Give yourself a clear psychological price or time point (for example, hold for 3 more months). If by then the price still shows no improvement, or worse fundamental news appears (such as the project team stopping updates), mechanically execute a sell to cut off this psychological burden.
3. Shift your focus: Put your energy into new, promising projects or real life. When you no longer watch the K-line every day, the pain of "waiting" will ease a lot.
You are not waiting to get rich quickly; you are waiting for a release. But true release often does not come from a price rebound, but from the moment you actively choose to let go.The era of vertical expansion on $SNDK is officially behind us. Heavy with a 99%+ decline off top valuations, continuous token unlocks continue to overwhelm secondary market bids before momentum can build.
In stark contrast to $BICO,$BEAT, $ALLO,$KAITO, and $APR—which all absorbed fresh liquidity to execute solid turnaround runs—$SNDK fails to construct a support floor or draw in organic buyers. Without clear accumulation footprints, betting on a turnaround is pure speculation.

#CryptoRevenueVsBTC #Harvard has half of its US stock portfolio bet on SPCX, while smart money quietly shorts
On August 14, Harvard filed its Q2 13F with the SEC, and the word "SpaceX" pushed the rocket stock price back to 140; 24 hours later, an unexpected contrast emerged on the market—Harvard has half of its US stock portfolio bet on SPCX, while OKX smart money is quietly increasing shorts.
This quarter, Harvard Management Company holds 12,935,100 Class A shares of SpaceX, valued at about $2.21 billion (based on the 6/30 closing price of $170.86). This single holding accounts for 51.84% of its approximately $4.26 billion US stock 13F portfolio—not a test, but a direct allocation of the largest portion of its US stock account to the rocket company. Note that 13F only covers publicly traded US securities and excludes private overseas holdings; the "52% bet on SPCX" only applies within the context of its US public holdings, so do not misinterpret it as "the entire school's net worth is on the rocket."
As of June 30, about 1,697 institutions held SpaceX in their 13F filings. The top tier includes Alphabet with 551 million shares / $94.18 billion (about 100 times the value of the initial investment ten years ago); followed by Valor with 503 million / $86 billion, Fidelity with 303 million / $51.66 billion, Saudi PIF with 154.1 million Class A shares (valued at about $26.3 billion on 6/30), Nvidia with 122.8 million shares / $20.98 billion—this Nvidia stake is a byproduct of the $10 billion investment in xAI Series E in January and the full stock merger of xAI into SpaceX in February, representing Musk's overall AI growth rights. This list places top-tier capital like Alphabet, Saudi sovereign wealth, Nvidia, and Harvard in front of all investors.
Many attribute the August decline to the lock-up expiration, but the situation is more complex. The Q2 earnings report on August 4–5 triggered the initial move: capex doubled year-over-year, surpassing revenue, causing a 14% single-day drop, closing at a historic low of $108.27 on August 5. Then came the first lock-up release on August 6—911.5 million shares, worth about $100 billion (7–8% of the float), unlocked that day. Instead of falling, the stock rose 6.1% to close at $114.92—AP/CNN/Bloomberg all reported "no panic selling." The decline was driven by earnings, not lock-up selling; the first release became a "bad news priced in—short covering—rebound starting point" turning point.
Price: August 17 09:55 SPCX perpetual at $141.68, 24h +1.58%; 30-day 125.59 → August 6 low 105.39 → August 13 high 149.47 → back to 140—"V + second retest."

Smart money is short at this point: among 100 qualified traders on the signal page, only 6 have positions—3 long, 4 short, weighted longs 44.6% / shorts 55.4%, net nominal amount −$91,500 net short. Average entry price for longs is 145.45 (about $3.8 above current price, unrealized loss), shorts at 136.66 (in the green); win rate 67% for longs, 78% for shorts. Total positions only $840,000, but the 4:3 oligarchic direction is clear—Harvard is adding longs, smart money is shorting.
Institutional holdings disclosure provides an "institutional valuation anchor" narrative. On August 12, Morgan Stanley interpreted Q2 lock-up release as a "buying opportunity," target price 300 / bull market 600—pricing SPCX as "AI infrastructure" rather than a "rocket company." Risks are equally weighted: after 1,697 holdings are transparent, the second and third rounds of lock-up releases—Saudi sovereign's 154.1 million shares are potential supply at every point; Q3 capex still below revenue line means downside risk not fully realized; on X, HaxKai on August 13 called the 140→131 short position profitable, explicitly stating "two-way volatility suits market making, not faith investing."

On August 16, SafePal disclosed that its order tracking plugin had an authorization flaw, potentially exposing the names, emails, shipping addresses, phone numbers, and purchase details of approximately 39,798 customers to unauthorized access. The incident did not involve mnemonic phrases, private keys, wallet passwords, or fund access, but order data can turn "someone owning a hardware wallet" into a profile usable for targeted phishing: attackers know how to contact them, where shipments might be sent, and can disguise themselves as after-sales service, replacements, or firmware update reminders. Trezor's logistics service provider incident disclosed the same week also involved customer identity and shipping information. The conclusion is not "offline private keys are enough": device security, order systems, logistics, and customer communication together form the security boundary. Do not submit mnemonic phrases, private keys, or passwords in unsolicited emails, texts, calls, or letters without independent verification; if you have entered mnemonic phrases or private keys due to suspicious contact, consider that wallet compromised and migrate remaining assets. Sources: SafePal security announcement, CoinDesk, BleepingComputer. #AI #Web3 #MPC #SelfCustody #PhishingBrothers, let's talk about something different today——$ZHIPU, China's first AI stock.
Just checked OKX data, ZHIPU perpetual contract is quoted around $152.62. This is not an air coin in the crypto circle; it's the perpetual contract of the Hong Kong stock equity of Tsinghua-affiliated AI unicorn Zhipu, with the underlying asset being the Hong Kong stock 02513.HK. Since its listing in January, it has risen 20-25 times from the issue price of HKD 116, with a market cap in the range of $120-150 billion.
🔥 What happened? GLM-5.3 released, but the stock price "good news fully priced in"
On August 14, Zhipu officially released the new flagship model GLM-5.3.
Some hardcore data:
· Programming ability improved by 50% compared to GLM-5.2, ranked first in open source on public benchmarks like TerminalBench
· Achieved 84.5% in CyberGym vulnerability detection test, slightly higher than OpenAI GPT-5.6 Sol's 83.6%
· Model weights will be open-sourced two weeks later, following an open-source approach
· Integrated into JD Cloud MaaS platform
But the stock price fell in the afternoon of the same day, currently around HKD 1288, down about 3.5%.
Typical "good news fully priced in" — the model is strong, but market expectations were too high, so the news became an excuse for profit-taking.
📊 Current market situation: highly volatile AI stock, both bulls and bears are being educated
Key data:
· Current OKX quote: $152.62, with drastic 24-hour fluctuations
· Hong Kong stock spot: about HKD 1288, equivalent to about $166 USD, with some price difference
· Daiwa rating: first coverage with a "Buy" rating, target price HKD 1500, optimistic about MaaS business growth
Risk one: extremely small float
Hong Kong stock float is less than 6%, daily volatility of 25-30% is normal. On July 13, 197.8 million shares were just placed, with subsequent unlocking pressure.
Risk two: overvaluation
2025 revenue only $100 million**, net loss **$650 million, price-to-sales ratio over 1000 times — entirely priced based on the scarcity of "China's strongest open-source AI," with no fundamental support.
💰 My view
ZHIPU is the reflection of China's AGI narrative in the crypto market — "If OpenAI is worth $850 billion, why can't the Chinese version of OpenAI be worth $150 billion?"
But short-term trading is extremely brutal:
· In late July, ZHIPU rebounded 31% from the low, a batch of short sellers opened shorts in the $127-$143 range, floating losses nearly 40%
· On the day GLM-5.3 was released, the stock price fell, and those chasing longs got trapped
· Both bulls and bears suffer, whoever moves first dies first
My strategy:
· For longs: wait for a pullback to the $140-$145 range to confirm stabilization, try light positions, stop loss at $135
· For shorts: try if the $160-$165 rebound is weak, stop loss at $170
· The safest: volatility is too high, keep position under 3% of total funds, or just watch the show
ZHIPU's fundamentals are "China's hope for AI," but the trading side is a "retail investor meat grinder." July placement, August unlocking, model release, Hong Kong stock linkage — too many variables, direction is hard to guess.
💰 Today's P&L: I didn't touch ZHIPU, this volatility is not for ordinary people to withstand. Let's chat in the comments, do you believe in China's long-term AI story? Would you dare to get on board at this level? 👇
#存储股抛压缓和，AI内存牛市还稳吗？ If the top spot market leaders are all small-cap market caps rushing, then the derivatives market has already voted for us. Did you see that? The OKX spot spot gainers chart seemed to be hit on the accelerator today: BICO jumped 22.39%, ONE gained 11%, and WLFI, ROBO, LEO, ONT, CVX, and ILV all rose. At a glance, it looks like a river just thawed in spring, with shattered ice crackling down—truly lively. But behind the excitement, what I care about more is another layer of signals. The spot price gainers are just the surface; the real undercurrents lie in the futures market. On today's list, aside from the established stable player LEO, almost all other high-beta small- and mid-cap assets are on the list. What does this mean? This means that the most likely funds entering the market now are those with extremely high risk appetite, whose desire for leverage outweighs their pursuit of certainty. If you look at the funding rates of these coins, you'll notice an interesting phenomenon. Some of the top gainers have seen their perpetual contract funding rates quietly turn positive or even rise. This indicates that derivatives traders are paying premiums to maintain long positions; the market is not simply buying spot but using leverage to raise the trend continuation. If this structure continues, it will further attract arbitrage funds into the market, forming a positive cycle. But the second layer of impact is often overlooked. When small-cap contract open interest expands rapidly, it often signals that market sentiment has entered an exuberant zone. At this point, the biggest fear is not a drop, but a flash crash. Once a certain coin triggers a large stop loss, chain liquidations will follow$NFLX has just pulled up from a low point with a certain slope, and Ackman's re-entry to build a position has refocused the market's attention on streaming assets.
The market closed at 78.16 on August 14, rebounding 20% from the 52-week low of 65.
The core driver of this rebound lies in the capital's revaluation of the 325 million subscription base, with institutions betting that economies of scale can still maintain the moat.
The external risk appetite recovery combined with large capital replenishing positions has pushed short-term valuations out of the previously extremely pessimistic oversold range.
If subsequent capital continues to flow in and subscription retention does not decline, prices stabilize around the short-term rebound center, and the valuation recovery rally will spread to a broader market.
Once macro inflation expectations rise again suppressing growth stock preference, or AI production tools substantially erode distribution barriers, this rebound momentum will quickly fade.
The essence of this rally is position replenishment triggered by events, rather than a thoroughly resolved long-term content pricing logic.
The most important variable to watch in the next 7 days is whether the trading volume of the tokenized US stock market after the rebound can withstand the selling pressure from profit-taking.
#消费动能转弱，9月政策仍受通胀制约 #BTC成交萎缩，ETF买盘能否回暖#Bitcoin bear market countdown, maybe only about 40 days left in the window.
If the past cycle scripts continue to apply,
BTC's ultimate bottoming in this bear market will most likely fall in the fourth quarter.
Looking back at Bitcoin's more than ten years of bull and bear cycles, there is a very confusing time pattern:
2015‑2017 bull market: 1062 days
2017‑2018 bear market: 362 days
2018‑2021 bull market: 1068 days
2021‑2022 bear market: 361 days
2022‑2025 bull market: 1061 days
Cycle lengths almost replicate history.
If the historical script continues to be copied:
2025‑2026 bear market: 360 days
Then this bear market is already in its final stage.
According to cycle timing projections,
there may be only about 40 days left until the market's potential cycle bottom.
Looking again at the signals from the long-term rainbow valuation chart:
2015 cycle bottom ✅
2018 cycle bottom ✅
2022 cycle bottom ✅
Will 2026 repeat again?
Historically, every BTC cycle completes its bottoming in the long-term undervaluation range before officially starting the next big bull market.
Right now, most people in the market are still repeatedly worrying:
"Will there be further big drops? Where exactly is the bottom?"
But the real question to consider has changed:
If these next few dozen days are the bottom window of this cycle, are your bullets ready?
The most damaging thing about a bear market is never the decline itself.
It's having no cash in hand during the decline;
It's panic selling at the bottom;
It's missing out on the bull market when your position is gone.
Cycles won't replicate mechanically 100%, institutional ETFs and macro interest rate cuts will disrupt the timing, but the lessons from history are worth noting.
Opportunities always belong to those who hold chips and patiently wait for the bottom.

#Bitcoin mining company Riot wins Anthropic's large computing power order #Gold remains high, South Korea's central bank returns to the market
#S&P earnings exceed expectations, why is Wall Street still cautious? #Crypto valuation logic is splitting, are two types of coins completely diverging?
I am Lao K, and the valuation benchmarks in the crypto market are undergoing a split.
Recently, multiple institutional research reports have proposed a view: the market is abandoning pure story-driven speculation and gradually shifting to focus on real yields and on-chain revenue capabilities. This valuation system is especially suitable for ETH, storage tokens, and the DeFi sector.
Ethereum relies on Gas fees and staking yields to form stable on-chain cash flow; storage sector tokens generate continuous protocol revenue from real storage services; DeFi leaders also have a steady stream of transaction fee income. These projects can be evaluated using traditional market cash flow and revenue models to measure valuation.
But the valuation logic for $BTC is a completely different system.
Bitcoin itself does not generate protocol revenue, has no dividends, no fee returns to holders, and no measurable cash flow. Its value foundation comes from total supply scarcity, spot ETF capital flows, the global macro interest rate environment, and the consensus narrative of digital store of value. Institutional reports also admit that for BTC, an asset without cash flow, cash flow valuation models are not applicable; pricing still relies on existing consensus and capital flow.
The core factor truly influencing BTC’s short-term price is the inflow and outflow of spot ETF funds. The previous wave of continuous ETF net inflows directly pushed BTC to rebound from around 61,000 to above 64,000, which is the most straightforward real-world reflection.
Going forward, the market will show a clear differentiation:
ETH, DeFi, and storage sectors will increasingly resemble traditional enterprises, focusing on revenue, profit, and real on-chain cash flow. Tokens with poor performance will be mercilessly abandoned by capital.
Meanwhile, BTC will continue to play the role of digital gold, with pricing anchored on scarcity, institutional allocation positions, U.S. debt, and interest rate cut cycles.
There is no replacement between the two; they are just on two completely different valuation tracks.
Different sectors, different pricing logic, but they will coexist.

#消费动能转弱，9月政策仍受通胀制约 📊 The macro environment is quietly shifting, and the crypto market seems to be standing at a new node. The recently released CPI data met market expectations; this result did not trigger an excessive chain reaction, but instead provided some room to ease the long-standing tension. Inflation is no longer out of control, meaning the tail risks of aggressive rate hikes are gradually being absorbed by the market, and funds are reassessing the cost-effectiveness of risk assets. For the crypto market, this kind of macro-level "mild confirmation" makes more sense than a stunning downturn—because it sets the boundary of uncertainty. Meanwhile, signals from Washington are equally intriguing. The SEC and CFTC have successively released new moves related to the regulatory framework for crypto assets. Although the details have not yet been fully finalized, the direction is clearly more constructive than before. This shift has shaken the market's stereotypical narrative of a "regulatory siege," and the outline of the compliance path is beginning to become faint. For institutions, the real obstacle has never been price fluctuations, but the ambiguous areas in compliance judgment. When this fog begins to lift, the willingness of capital to enter will increase significantly. More importantly, the actions of traditional financial markets are becoming more concrete. Market information shows that more institutional clients in TradFi are increasing their exposure to BTC, ETH, and SOL. This is not something that short-term speculation can explain; it is more like a strategy for the next stage of the cycle. Leading assets have once again become the hub of liquidity for funds, and the entry of large funds often precedes price narratives, only after which market attention increases🚀 $CORE/USDT Price Prediction Post
Current Price: $CORE 0.02036 (+0.84%)
24h High / Low: $CORE 0.02078 / $0.01929
Market Overview
CORE is showing a steady recovery trend on the 15-minute chart, climbing gradually after hitting a local floor near $0.01987. The price is currently holding above all key short-term moving averages—MA5 ($0.02031), MA10 ($0.02024), and MA20 ($0.02017)—showing consistent buying support and a push toward testing higher levels.
Key Levels to Watch
* Resistance: $0.02040 & $0.02078
* Support: $0.02017 & $0.01987
Price Targets & Scenarios
* Bullish Scenario (Breakout):
If buyers push and hold above the $0.02040 level, expect momentum to carry CORE toward $0.02060, with a strong chance to retest the 24-hour high at $0.02078.
* Bearish Scenario (Retracement):
If the price fails to break past $0.02040, a small pullback toward the moving average support zone around $0.02017 is likely before the next attempt upward.
Are you expecting $CORE to clear $0.02040 for a rally, or will it dip back down to retest support first?$CORE First, the capital and chips are different. BTC is mainly long-term holdings, and driving the price upward requires large incremental funds; ETH is more active in the short term and contract funds; short stop-losses during rebounds tend to amplify the market, and with equal funds, it is more flexible. Second, narrative catalyzes differentiation. BTC relies on macro news and currently lacks new positive drivers; ETH ecosystem hotspots continue to emerge, with tracks like Hyperliquid continuously attracting short-term capital inflows. Furthermore, there is a gap in technological momentum. BTC is under pressure near the 63,800 moving average, with daily upward momentum weakening and heavy trapped positions above; ETH has completed a low support test, making short-term rebound conditions relatively better. ⚠️ High elasticity comes with high volatility. If the market weakens, ETH will pull back even more, and the dynamics could reverse at any time for $BTC $ETH $OKB #BTC成交萎缩.

Last night I watched the market until 3 a.m., glanced at the candlesticks and then at my account, almost laughing at myself.
First, let's talk about what kind of mess this market is right now. BTC broke 63,000 this morning, but that’s about it, with a daily increase of just 0.19%—a gain so small last year I wouldn’t even bother opening the app to check. OKX data shows BTC even dipped below 63,000 around midnight, hitting a low near 62,995. The whole weekend it just oscillated in the narrowest range between 62,500 and 63,000, with volatility shrinking to the lowest level in months. The 10x Research team said trading volume dropped to a fraction of what it was during last October’s flash crash peak. I checked my own orders; the order book depth is as thin as paper, and a moderately sized order can move the price by dozens of dollars.
Now about the ETF situation, which is the real headache. Last week, BTC spot ETFs saw a net outflow of about 390 million, with outflows on four of the five trading days. Monday saw 144 million out, Thursday 131 million, Friday 57.63 million—only Tuesday had a symbolic inflow of 4.89 million. Keep in mind the previous week had an inflow of 850 million, so this reversal is pretty sharp.
But here’s the interesting part—although funds are flowing out, BTC ETF trading volume last week hit the second lowest since October 2024. That’s contradictory: significant outflows but thin trading volume. What does that mean? It means there aren’t that many sellers, but even fewer buyers, so the whole market feels frozen.
On-chain data is also interesting. Exchange net inflows dropped from +3507 BTC on August 14 to +683 BTC on the 15th, a decline of about 81%—fewer people are depositing BTC to exchanges, so selling pressure is easing. But the problem is exchange reserves have broken above the 200-day moving average, breaking a downtrend that lasted over two years. More BTC sitting on exchanges ready to sell is not a good sign. Funding rates also dropped from 0.0228 to 0.00465, down nearly 80%—longs are paying much less premium, but open interest barely moved. Leverage costs dropped but volume didn’t, meaning traders are still holding on, neither liquidating nor closing positions, just waiting for direction.
So can ETF buying pick up? Honestly, I think it’s unlikely in the short term.
First, ETF funds are playing differently now. Early August saw 1.1 billion flow in, BTC touched 65,000 then got pushed back down. Now ETF money seems more like bottom-fishing rather than pushing prices up—lots of money comes in but prices don’t rise, meaning selling pressure is still there, with some using ETF buying to offload.
Second, the previously most reliable buyer strategy has been a seller for four consecutive weeks. This used to be a faith-driven buyer who only bought, now they’re reducing holdings—how can market confidence be strong?
Third, stablecoins continue to flow out of the market. If off-exchange funds aren’t coming in, what buying rebound can we expect?
That said, this kind of ultra-low volume sideways market isn’t unprecedented. The market fear index dropped to 31, retail traders are talking about US stocks and gold, and BTC is barely mentioned. Times like these might actually be when long-term players should pay attention—of course, only if you can endure the grind of a prolonged bottom.
In the short term, whether 63,000 holds is key. Below that, watch 62,600; if broken, it could drop to 61,800. On the upside, 63,500 to 64,000 is all resistance. Talking about breakouts without volume is just nonsense.
I’m just chilling with limit orders now—buy a little on dips, sell a little on rebounds, making some pocket money. Chasing rallies and panicking sells just feed the exchange fees anyway.
Brothers, what do you think about this level? Will bulls outlast the bears or will it dip further?
$BTC #BTC成交萎缩，ETF买盘能否回暖 Can BTC trading volume shrinkage and ETF buying recover?
The real issue with BTC now is not how much it has dropped, but the market's lack of funds willing to actively take over at the current level.
After this round of pullback, although the price has not continued to rapidly drop for the time being, the trading volume has clearly shrunk. Many interpret this trend as "selling pressure exhaustion," but I think we need to be more cautious—reduced volume can mean no one wants to sell, but it can also mean no one wants to buy.
And the key to distinguishing between the two, I believe, is ETF funds.
Past market cycles have repeatedly proven that spot ETFs are not simply sentiment indicators; they act more like an incremental liquidity channel connecting traditional funds with the BTC spot market. When ETFs have continuous net inflows, the market can absorb high-level profit-taking; but once inflows slow or even turn into net outflows, BTC relying solely on on-exchange leveraged funds finds it difficult to sustain a continuous upward trend.
So now I won't conclude the correction is over just because of one or two rebound candlesticks.
I pay more attention to two signals:
First, whether trading volume can expand synchronously when the price rebounds.
If the price rises but volume continues to shrink, this rebound looks more like short covering rather than new funds entering.
Second, whether ETFs show continuous net inflows again.
A single day of large inflow is of limited significance; what truly changes market structure is several consecutive days of capital returning. If ETFs form a stable buying force again and BTC can reclaim previously lost areas, then this volume contraction is more likely a re-accumulation of chips rather than a downtrend continuation.
At this stage, rather than guessing the bottom, it's better to observe whether funds have returned.
Price can create sentiment, but the real driver of trends is always marginal buying.
If BTC rebounds next, do you value technicals reclaiming key levels more, or ETF funds strengthening again?The next surge will be different
In early August, the unwinding of carry trades put pressure on $BTC and $ETH, but their leverage structures showed different reactions.
$BTC is driven by futures and institutional funds, so deleveraging tends to be faster and more orderly.
$ETH is more sensitive to DeFi, liquidations, and on-chain leverage. Price drops may trigger a new round of sell-offs.
For $ETH, pay attention not only to candlestick charts but also to TVL, funding rates, and on-chain activity to identify real stress. 周末的钟声终于敲响，加密市场的交易员们总算可以合上屏幕，让紧绷的神经暂时松弛下来。但这一周，留给市场的并不是惊心动魄的剧情，而是一种近乎窒息的平静。数据显示，以太坊本周的振幅仅有百分之四点四四，比特币略高一点，也不过百分之四点五九。这个数字放在过去，几乎是难以想象的，尤其是以太坊的波动率竟然没有跑赢比特币，这在以往极为罕见。 更值得玩味的是，八月已经悄然过半，可整个月的成交量却只有上个月的三分之一，市场上几乎看不到大资金的主动买盘或卖盘。资金似乎在集体沉默，没有方向，没有情绪，甚至没有试探的欲望。说实话，这种状态反而比暴跌更让人不安，因为它意味着市场进入了一种深度的观望期，所有人都在等待，等待一个足以改变格局的信号出现。 但在这片看似平静的水面下，暗流其实一直在涌动。成交量与波动率的双双萎缩，固然让人焦虑，但反常从来都是有原因的。恰恰是这种极致的低波与缩量，让我对下半个月多了几分期待。如果未来两周依然维持这种窄幅震荡的格局，那本月的成交量恐怕会低到一个历史罕见的水平，而这种极致的压缩往往意味着某种方向的酝酿，只是在那一刻到来之前，没有人知道它究竟会朝哪个方向爆发。 我始终不太相信加密货#SPCX Shareholding Structure Revealed, Harvard 13F Heavy Position
Brother Ma is here, getting straight to the point
What impact does this have on us?
First layer: Top-tier institutions are treating AI computing power companies as core assets. Harvard's single endowment fund has more than half of its public holdings concentrated in one stock, a level of allocation extremely rare in traditional assets. It's not that SpaceX is exceptionally good, but in the eyes of institutions managing hundreds of billions in funds, AI computing infrastructure has been elevated to the same importance as traditional core assets.
Second layer: A liquidity shock is inevitable. After the lock-up period ends, how these concentrated holdings move will truly determine SPCX's short-term trend. High concentration of institutional holdings means that once large-scale sell-offs occur, market support will be directly tested. The stock price rose rather than fell after the first batch of unlocks, indicating that batch was absorbed. But there are more to come, so we need to watch the rhythm.
Here’s my view.
Harvard putting more than half of its public holdings into SpaceX is not a bet on a single company, but a bet on a direction—AI computing power will become the most important infrastructure over the next decade. When capital at this level starts allocating computing power companies as core assets, the financial attributes of computing power have already been repriced. Bitcoin, as the most primitive expression of computing power, will only have its long-term narrative reinforced.
In the short term, liquidity pressure and lock-up releases will cause volatility. But the direction is clear; volatility is just part of the process.
What do you think?
$BTC $ETH Harvard "half position" in SpaceX? Is it still worth buying?
The latest Harvard Management 13F filing shows that as of June 30, it held about 12.935 million shares of SpaceX, valued at approximately $2.21 billion, accounting for 51.8% of the reported portfolio.
This proportion is quite striking, but the 13F only counts certain public securities and does not mean that half of Harvard's total assets are invested in SpaceX.
Among institutional shareholders, Nvidia's holding scale is even larger. According to FT, it holds nearly 123 million shares worth about $21 billion; Alphabet, Fidelity, and BlackRock are also on the list of major shareholders.
These prestigious holdings indicate that SpaceX has gained significant long-term capital recognition, but it does not mean the current stock price is undervalued.
The core variable in post-IPO trading is the supply of shares.
As the lock-up period ends, early shareholders' low-cost shares will gradually gain liquidity.
Whether institutions reduce holdings and whether the market can absorb them, SpaceX's performance will affect valuation and volatility.
Harvard's returns come from early entry and long-term waiting.
For ordinary investors following the buy, the cost difference is there; rather than blindly following the trend, it is better to closely watch the unlocking schedule and market trading volume changes to time operations!
#SPCX持股结构曝光，哈佛13F重仓 过去24小时，大盘依然没有真正选择方向。 BTC继续围绕6.3万美元横盘，ETH、SOL相对更强，但一个值得注意的变化是：价格没有明显下跌，恐惧指数却从34进一步降到31。 再结合稳定币供应几乎停止增长，目前市场更像是存量资金轮动，而不是新资金推动的新一轮Risk-on。 📊 市场快照 截至08月17日10:00 HKT： BTC $63,131，24h +0.2% ETH $1,892，24h +0.2% SOL $75.17，24h +0.9% 加密总市值约 $2.254万亿，24h +0.13% BTC市占率 56.13% 恐惧与贪婪指数 31（恐惧），昨日为34。 从价格看，SOL今天明显跑赢BTC，但整个市场总市值仅增加0.13%。 所以这里更应该理解成： SOL相对强 ≠ 整个Crypto市场转强。 目前仍然属于低风险偏好环境下的结构性轮动。 😨 一个值得注意的背离：价格稳定，但情绪变差 BTC过去24小时上涨0.2%，总市值也没有明显下降。 但恐惧指数却： 34 → 31 继续向恐惧区域移动。 与此同时，稳定币总市值约： 3007.16亿美元 24h -0.05% 过#spacex stock price rises to $140
This time, with SpaceX's first round of share unlocking landing, instead of the expected sell-off, the stock price actually surged to $140, climbing back above the IPO issue price of $135, rebounding significantly from the low point.
There are two reasons behind this rise: first, early shareholders did not rush to dump shares after unlocking, so the anticipated stampede did not happen; second, short sellers previously crowded to close positions and cover, creating a short squeeze effect, combined with the narrative boost from space AI computing power, all these factors together pushed the price up.
But we veterans must be clear, this is a repair rebound after risk realization, not a complete risk elimination. Starlink is profitable, no doubt, but the rocket and AI businesses are burning cash heavily, and there are still several unlocking windows ahead, so the market's ability to absorb shares will continue to be tested, according to Sina Finance.
Don’t get overheated and rush in just because the stock price is rebounding. Short squeeze markets are highly volatile; never mistake a short-term rebound for a long-term bull signal. Keep a close eye on financial reports and subsequent unlocking developments, and make sure to hold your position tightly.

Why is Wall Street still not too optimistic?
S&P 500 earnings are still exceeding expectations, but the index is already near its high, and Wall Street's target hasn't been significantly raised.
I think the core issue is not poor earnings, but that valuations have already priced in too much good news in advance.
Currently, there are two real risks for the US stock market:
One is that US Treasury yields remain high, suppressing valuation expansion.
Two is that if the earnings growth driven by AI slows down, the market may start to reprice.
So the US stock market can still rise, but the logic may shift from valuation expansion to earnings-driven.
I prefer to focus on companies that can truly turn AI investments into profits and cash flow, rather than simply chasing the hottest AI concepts.
If earnings don't fall, the US stock market still has the potential for new highs.
If earnings slow down, valuations will become a pressure.
Not investment advice DYOR [Pharaoh's Market Watch]
Pharaoh's spicy take: Is the 500 billion yuan spent on GPUs a booster or a big risk?
My inbox exploded with questions about how Pharaoh views Nvidia pulling in 500 billion yuan in financing from six major Wall Street giants.
To put it simply: Jensen Huang wants to be the "mortgage broker" of the AI world—helping clients borrow money to buy GPUs, then collecting rent to pay off the loans.
It's a clever scheme: packaging GPUs from "fast-moving consumer goods" into "rental properties." CoreWeave raised 8.5 billion yuan with this trick, and Volta secured a 10 billion yuan deal just seven months after founding. Huang wants to replicate the "computing power real estate" legend.
But why is the market panicking? As soon as the news broke, Nvidia's stock dropped 5%, and credit default swaps surged.
Because it smells like subprime debt—
· Nvidia invests in clients → clients use the money to buy GPUs → demand data looks good → keep investing... Is this real demand or a game of hot potato?
· "Dark GPU" panic: What if computing power is oversupplied, with idle GPUs everywhere? It would be a repeat of the internet bubble's "dark fiber" disaster.
As a result, Wall Street chickened out first: the guarantee scale was cut from 250 billion yuan to less than 120 billion yuan, only covering the first phase.
Pharaoh says:
Whether this 500 billion yuan deal succeeds doesn't depend on how much money the big players have, but on one thing—whether AI applications can take off!
If they take off, it's a money printer; if not, it's the first domino in a debt cascade.
Computing power securitization is just starting; keep an eye on the demand side and don't rush to be the "GPU bag holder." #英伟达深入AI资本链，协同与风险如何平衡 CZ's passive “promotion” ignites Four.Meme, launching 1,648 tokens in a day with a 126% surge — BSC Chain's Meme launchpad is rising
📊 1. Data Comparison: Pump.fun cools down, Four.Meme rises
On August 16, the four major Meme launch platforms showed significant divergence:
Platform Token Launch Volume Change from Previous Day Trend
Pump.fun 31,945 tokens -1,710 tokens (-5.1%) Slight decline
Flap 29,417 tokens +616 tokens (+2.1%) Basically stable
Four.Meme 1,648 tokens +918 tokens (+126%) Doubling growth
Four.Meme is a Meme token launch platform on the BSC Chain (BNB Chain), positioned similarly to Solana's Pump.fun. The 126% single-day increase on August 16 was mainly triggered by a hot event.
🔥 2. Direct Trigger: CZ's wallet “passively burns” 4,444 MarsCoin tokens
On August 16, a large amount of the Meme token MarsCoin was minted on the BSC Chain and actively transferred to CZ's public wallet address, after which 4,444 tokens were sent to a burn address.
The market immediately interpreted this as “CZ actively burning MarsCoin,” causing the token price to surge over 460 times intraday, with market cap surpassing $36 million. CZ later responded on platform X that he can never “clean out” all Meme tokens from the address, so he will stop using that public address and turn it into a burn address. MARSCOIN then plummeted over 90%, and a trader who bought 6.15 million tokens chasing the high lost $110,700 within 2 hours.
However, the ripple effect of this “CZ passive promotion” is still fermenting — a large number of users are flocking to the BSC Chain to find the next Meme token “possibly to be burned by CZ,” directly boosting Four.Meme's launch volume.
📈 3. Four.Meme is becoming the “launchpad” for Meme tokens on BSC Chain
Four.Meme's growth is no accident:
1. Low Gas fees advantage of BSC Chain
Compared to Ethereum mainnet, BSC Chain's transaction fees are extremely low, suitable for high-frequency Meme token launches and trading. Four.Meme, as a native launch platform on BSC Chain, has a natural cost advantage.
2. CZ's “passive promotion” effect
CZ's public wallet address has become a “traffic entry point” for BSC Chain Meme tokens — many project teams actively transfer tokens to this address, trying to create narratives of “CZ holding” or “CZ burning” to attract speculative funds. After CZ announced stopping use of this address, it instead created a scarcity narrative of “the last batch of Meme tokens possibly seen by CZ,” which may further stimulate Meme token launch enthusiasm on BSC Chain in the short term.
3. Differentiated competition with Pump.fun
Pump.fun still dominates (launching about 32,000 tokens daily), but Four.Meme's growth curve (126% single-day increase) shows the Meme launch track on BSC Chain is rapidly catching up.
⚠️ 4. Risk Warning
1. Short-term pulse effect vs. long-term sustainability
Four.Meme's explosion heavily depends on the event-driven “CZ passive promotion.” Once the market loses interest in the “CZ wallet narrative,” launch volume may quickly decline.
2. Zeroing risk of Meme tokens
MarsCoin fell from a $36 million market cap to about $3.44 million, a drop of over 90% — Meme tokens' wild price swings are normal, and those chasing highs often lose everything.
3. BSC Chain's Meme token ecosystem is still in early stages
Compared to the mature Meme token ecosystem on Solana (Pump.fun has operated for over 18 months), BSC Chain's Meme token launch platforms are still early-stage, with liquidity and user base needing time to prove themselves.
💎 5. Summary
Four.Meme's token launch volume doubled to 1,648 on August 16, directly reflecting CZ's passive “promotion” effect on BSC Chain. When the market mistakes CZ wallet's “passive receipt” and “active burn” as endorsement signals, speculative funds flood into BSC Chain seeking the next Meme token “possibly seen by CZ.”
But launch volume does not equal token quality. Whether Four.Meme's short-term surge can evolve into a long-term trend depends on whether BSC Chain can incubate a truly sustainable Meme token ecosystem from this wave of traffic, rather than just a one-day “CZ wallet narrative” spectacle. 📊 $XRP Liquidation Flash Report (August 17)
According to liquidation data, the whale played a textbook-level "short-term bear trap → long-term aggressive bull squeeze" harvesting strategy on XRP, switching directions decisively, with total liquidations exceeding $1.54 million.
Time Total Liquidations Long Liquidations Short Liquidations
1H $91,500 $1,075.56 $90,400
4H $519,900 $429,500 $90,400
12H $1,483,200 $1,370,700 $112,600
24H $1,542,000 $1,422,300 $119,700
From the $XRP liquidation data, in the 1-hour window, short liquidations crushed longs, shorts were 84 times the longs, a short squeeze unfolded with nuclear-level intensity, liquidation volume $91,500 — shorts dominated the short-term strongly, longs were directly crushed, a typical small-scale bear trap; at 4 hours, the direction completely reversed, long liquidations crushed shorts, longs were 4.75 times shorts, the whale completed a fierce turn from short squeeze to bull squeeze, liquidation volume jumped from $91,500 to $519,900 — longs began to take over the game; at 12 hours, long liquidations crushed shorts, longs were 12.2 times shorts, bull squeeze momentum exploded with nuclear-level intensity, liquidation volume soared to $1,483,200 — longs went all out; at 24 hours, longs continued to dominate, long liquidations $1,422,300 vs. shorts $119,700, longs were 11.9 times shorts, total liquidations exceeded $1.54 million — the whale completed a perfect harvesting path of "short-term bear trap → long-term aggressive bull squeeze" on XRP, short-term small short squeeze confused everyone, from 4 hours longs directly took over, 12-24 hours with 12x intensity fully harvesting, a textbook "feed then kill" strategy. Everyone control your positions well, don’t get harvested back and forth.
⚠️ Risk Warning: XRP shows a sharp directional switch between short-term short squeeze (1H) and mid-to-long-term bull squeeze (4H/12H/24H), switching decisively, but the multiplier from 12H to 24H slightly dropped from 12.2x to 11.9x, bull squeeze momentum basically steady; 24H liquidations account for 99% of daily total, highly concentrated. Leverage is recommended to be compressed below 3x, avoid blindly bottom-fishing, strictly control positions and wait for clear direction.
🔥 Market Indicator | August 17
Today's three hot topics point to the same theme: macro signals are fragmented, the market is undergoing a "data conflict" pricing reconstruction — consumption is retreating, earnings are surging, leverage is gambling.
📉 Consumption Momentum Weakens: No Rate Cuts, No Rate Hikes
US consumption continues to show cooling signals. July retail sales fell 0.6% month-over-month, the largest drop in 14 months, far below the expected 0.1% increase; core retail sales also dropped 0.6%, missing expectations. By category, gas station sales plunged 4.9% month-over-month due to falling oil prices, and big-ticket items like furniture, autos, electronics were generally weak, with only online sales barely maintaining positive growth. The rapid decline in consumption momentum echoes the unexpected negative July nonfarm payrolls — the "double decline" in labor market and consumer spending is reinforcing each other.
But inflation stickiness still limits policy space. July CPI year-over-year was 3.4%, core CPI 2.5%; PPI dropped to 4.7% YoY, but service costs hit the largest increase of the year, inflation cooling is not a straight line down. CME data shows September rate hike probability has dropped to about 33%, sharply contrasting with the 12% low after June CPI release — market worries about inflation have never truly faded. No action is not because it's enough, but because they dare not act.
📈 S&P Earnings Beat Expectations: Why Only Target 7894 Points?
US Q2 earnings season delivered strong results. S&P 500 constituent Q2 earnings grew 31% YoY, far exceeding early-year expectations; overall earnings beat by 7.4%, with over 90% of reporting companies showing earnings growth.
But Wall Street strategists have raised the year-end S&P 500 target to 7894 points — only about 1% upside from current all-time highs. Full-year earnings growth expectations have been raised from 15% to 27%, but valuation expansion space is fully priced in. For the index to hit new highs, it requires continuous "outperformance" rather than steady "meeting expectations."
📊 ETF Buying Reversal: BTC Leverage Positions Rebuild
Bitcoin ETF fund flows have fluctuated sharply. After a net inflow of about $1.1 billion from August 3 to 7, there was a net outflow of about $329 million from August 10 to 14. Ethereum ETFs weakened in sync, with net inflows of only $16.4 million in the same period.
More noteworthy is leverage — CryptoQuant data shows Bitcoin futures open interest surged by $2 billion in the second week of August. If Bitcoin falls below $58,500, a large amount of leveraged positions may trigger forced liquidations. Buying reversal and leverage buildup are signs of intensified long-short battles.
💎 Summary
Consumption retreats, earnings surge, leverage gambles — weak consumption and sticky inflation create macro "stagflation" troubles; earnings beat expectations but narrow target price space creates valuation contradictions; buying reversal and leverage rebuilding create tension in the crypto market. No rate cuts, no rate hikes, earnings rising, leverage building — the market is pricing the second half of 2026 in the most fragmented way. #SPCX持股结构曝光，哈佛13F重仓

Japan's Q2 GDP data fell short of market expectations, and the Nikkei index opened slightly higher in early trading, with the market betting that Japan is unlikely to tighten monetary policy in the short term.
The yen remains volatile, and Japanese retail investors' risk appetite has slightly increased, with some funds continuing to flow into the crypto market.

---
📅 1. Event Overview: A 48-Hour Reversal
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) canceled the public meeting originally scheduled for August 14 (last Friday). The SEC announced after the close on August 13 (Thursday) that the meeting was postponed due to "unforeseen scheduling issues," without announcing a new date. Just two days earlier, on August 11, the SEC had announced this agenda through the Sunshine Act notice. The cancellation came less than 48 hours after the announcement.
📋 2. What Was the Canceled Meeting Supposed to Discuss?
The meeting was planned to advance two key agendas:
1. Vote on the "Reg Crypto" Proposal
Commissioners were to discuss and vote on the Reg Crypto proposal, which aims to create a limited but clear compliance pathway for crypto securities tokens: projects could raise funds under specific conditions without triggering SEC registration requirements; after decentralization, tokens could gradually exit SEC oversight. This would be the SEC's first dedicated rulemaking specifically for crypto assets, which had previously been regulated mainly through enforcement and statements.
2. Announcement of the "Innovation Exemption" Framework
The meeting was also set to announce the "Innovation Exemption" framework, allowing companies to experiment with blockchain-based stock products without meeting all disclosure requirements. Details are expected to remain undisclosed in the short term.
🔍 3. Why Was It Canceled? Three Possible Reasons
1. CLARITY Act Deadlock, SEC Waiting for Legislative Outcome
The Senate is in August recess and has not held a full vote on the CLARITY Act. SEC staff indicated that related work might wait until the CLARITY Act's outcome becomes clear.
SEC Chair Paul Atkins previously stated that if the Senate fails to pass the CLARITY Act, the SEC is "ready, willing, and able" to roll out digital asset rules. The cancellation may indicate the SEC's choice to continue waiting for legislative clarity rather than acting unilaterally.
2. Dual Pressure from the White House and Wall Street
The postponement directly stems from regulatory pressure jointly applied by the White House and Wall Street. The White House worries that unilateral SEC action could disrupt ongoing CLARITY Act negotiations in Congress; Wall Street industry group SIFMA opposes the exemption, citing compatibility concerns between decentralized exchanges and existing securities market rules.
3. Section 10505 of the Bill Not Yet Settled
Section 10505 of the CLARITY Act concerning tokenization is still under repeated negotiation among stakeholders. If the SEC advances related measures through the "Innovation Exemption," it could undermine the compromise in this section.
📉 4. Market Impact
1. Regulatory "Two-Front" Deadlock
The CLARITY Act is stalled in Congress, and SEC rulemaking is delayed—both legislative and administrative paths are blocked. Myriad forecasts show the probability of the CLARITY Act becoming law by 2026 has dropped to 20%.
2. Prolonged Industry Uncertainty
For startups and exchanges, each delay means continued accumulation of compliance costs and market strategy uncertainty. If Reg Crypto is implemented, it would open a dedicated window for crypto fundraising within the existing securities law framework. The meeting cancellation means this window will not open in the short term.
3. CFTC Meeting on August 20 Worth Watching
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) will hold its first Innovation Advisory Committee meeting on August 20, with the agenda theme "The Evolution of Crypto Regulation: From Uncertainty to Clarity." Although advisory in nature, this meeting will be an important window for the market to observe the direction of U.S. crypto regulation amid the SEC meeting cancellation.
💎 5. Summary
The SEC meeting, highly anticipated, was announced and canceled within 48 hours, reflecting the fragility of current U.S. crypto regulation. When Congress is in recess and legislation stalls, the executive branch's rulemaking should fill the gap, but political considerations from the White House, industry resistance from Wall Street, and unsettled bill details have stalled this path as well.
The "safe harbor" design of the Reg Crypto proposal and the Innovation Exemption framework are directions long awaited by the industry. But between "expectation" and "implementation" lies a complex game involving Congress, the White House, Wall Street, and the SEC itself. The next chapter of this game will at least wait until the Senate reconvenes in September.
$BTC South Korea public holiday market closure, kimchi funds collectively absent from today's market
Today, the South Korean stock market is closed all day due to Liberation Day, and the usually active Korean short-term funds are completely absent during the Asian trading session.
Kimchi funds have always been one of the biggest drivers behind US stock-mapped tokens and small-cap meme coins. Without this active force today, the short-term volatility intensity of small-cap coins is likely to decrease.
Without Korean funds stirring the market, storage-themed tokens like $SNDK are unlikely to experience violent pulses during the Asian session; short-term movements will depend more on the attitudes of European and American session funds. $BTC $ETH $OKB #消费动能转弱，9月政策仍受通胀制约 $SNDK has already placed 3,000 short positions on SanDisk.
The bulls on the market are still very strong; technically, there is no clear signal of a top, but subjectively, the market feels like there is an undercurrent stirring.
This wave looks like it could have two outcomes: either the bulls continue and the market goes fully bullish, replicating the previous BTC surge to 83,000 that forced a short squeeze; or after a high-level bull trap, a major reversal occurs.
For this position, I used 30% of the profits from my previous account as the maximum loss tolerance before daring to place the short order.
Looking at the market, the previously trapped long positions at high levels now only account for 10% of the chips. The weekly pressure here is very clear.
SK Hynix holds firm at 1210 without breaking, while SanDisk has consistently failed to effectively break through 1710. I will continue holding this short position to play the game.
If volume breaks through the 1710 level, the risk of a short squeeze increases, so I manually reduce one-third of the position to lower risk;
If it further attacks and breaks through 1755, I will close another one-third, keeping a small base position to observe. 市场总是喜欢用极端的方式考验人性。当OKB在盘面中持续调整时，SanDisk却逆势走强，两条资产的走势像两条分叉的轨道，把交易者的计划完全甩在身后。一位交易者面对这样的局面发出感叹：用来做空SanDisk的资金，其实是抵押OKB得来的，结果OKB先跌了，SanDisk还在涨，最终浮亏超过一万八千美元。这不是段子，而是杠杆世界里真实发生的困境。 回顾这个场景，核心矛盾并不在于行情本身，而在于抵押品与被做空标的之间的相关性。很多人低估了杠杆交易中“抵押品波动”和“被押注资产波动”可能同时发生的风险。当两者方向背离时，账户面临的就不再是单线亏损，而是双向挤压。这也是为什么，即便市场没有出现极端行情，组合式交易依然可能让人陷入失控。因为链条越长，脆弱点越多，一旦其中一个环节被拉开，整个逻辑都可能瞬间失去平衡。 从情绪面来看，这位交易者正经历一种很典型的心理阶段。起初是困惑，因为眼前的走势超出了预设的模型。紧接着是自我调侃，试图用笑声化解压力。但接着，恐慌和焦虑开始浮现，因为亏损已经超过了心理能承受的边界。人在这种状态下往往不知道该做什么，不是没有选择，而是选择太多，且每一个都伴随潜在的反噬。这#ETF buying reversal, BTC leverage positions rising
Many only see the leverage positions rising but overlook the most fatal contrast.
The $1.1 billion ETF net inflow from 8.3 to 8.7
looks more like a brief pulse rally rather than a trend start.
In just a few days
from 8.10 to 8.14, ETFs directly returned to net outflows
institutional funds chose not to continue adding, and spot buying cooled off immediately.
Ironically,
while spot funds are retreating,
the futures market bulls are frantically increasing positions.
$BTC open interest surged to 765,820 contracts
funding rates remain positive, and on-exchange longs keep piling up.
This is a very dangerous situation.
Without spot funds as the underlying support,
the heat propped up solely by contract leverage is a castle in the air.
If the ETF outflow trend continues,
the large long positions accumulating now
will become the biggest time bomb.
As soon as the market breaks slightly downward,
chain liquidations and stampedes could erupt at any time, with the correction amplified infinitely by leverage.
Don’t be fooled by the current calm sideways consolidation,
the calm now is just the buildup before the storm.
The activity in contracts cannot cover up the weakness of spot funds.
At this stage, don’t blindly be optimistic and go long.
The higher the leverage stacks, the more terrifying the damage when it collapses.
The only way for BTC to break out is for ETF funds to flow back in; otherwise, the risk will only accumulate.
