🇺🇸⚠️ THE U.S. IS SLOWING DOWN — BUT THE FED CAN STILL RAISE RATES: $BTC FACES THE MOST IMPORTANT "TEST" OF SEPTEMBER A new notable signal this morning: the U.S. labor market is cooling faster than expected, just as the Fed is facing inflation and the oil shock from the Middle East. The ADP report released on 9/2 shows the U.S. private sector added only 38,000 jobs in August, below the forecast of about 48,000 and also lower than the adjusted 46,000 in July. This is the level of inThese two financial reports released the same key signal: the AI narrative is shifting from "selling shovels" to "using shovels," but the market's tolerance for high valuations is tightening. Let me break down the core logic and follow-up highlights for you: · Broadcom (AVGO): The "invisible champion" of custom chips faced a backlash against expectations. AI semiconductor annual revenue reached 16.7 billion (market originally expected 15 billion+), proving that its ASIC (custom chips) are clearly replacing some Nvidia GPUs in major companies like Google and Meta. However, after-hours trading first fell then rose, mainly because the Q4 guidance was slightly below expectations—this exposes the market's current "stringent mindset": even if you beat expectations, you must provide an even more explosive outlook for the next quarter, or valuations will be cut first. Going forward, watch the growth of the networking business (switches), which is the second engine for Broadcom's AI revenue to continue exceeding expectations. · Snowflake (SNOW): The data cloud "activated by AI." Product revenue increased 37% and the full-year guidance was raised; after-hours it rose 21%, indicating the market was previously too pessimistic about its transformation. Its core logic is: enterprises must unify their data platforms to run large models, and Snowflake is that "data foundation." The CoCo tool accounts reaching 9,100 shows AI coding is indeed driving consumption. The key going forward is whether customer data consumption growth exceeds market expectations. · Insights for investors: The AI market has entered the second phase of the "validation period." The first phase of broad gains (buy Nvidia, buy servers) is over, and now capital is digging into the opportunities brought by AI The leader has something to say
The world's largest gold ETF increased its holdings by nearly 10 tons in a single day, bringing the total holdings back to 1056 tons. Money is flowing back.
The Dutch central bank transferred 86 tons of gold from New York and Ottawa to London, citing the reason of improving trading liquidity during crises. This is a warehouse relocation, not a new purchase. But choosing to adjust reserve locations at a high gold price is itself a signal.
Goldman Sachs added that the hedging behavior of gold options market makers amplifies buying during price rises and exacerbates drawdowns during declines.
The strength of gold is backed by weakening US dollar credit. Central banks around the world have been buying gold continuously for over a year; this is a long-term structural issue.
The correlation between Bitcoin and gold remains high, but the market itself has not chosen a direction yet. Continuing to hold ZEC short positions, targeting 600 to 650. Bitcoin is currently out of position; will wait for a proper pullback before reassessing. #黄金ETF增持近10吨，期权波动受关注
The above analysis is time-sensitive; stop losses must be set on positions. Good luck. $BTC $ETH $SOL $ARB 0.128.
Seven days ago it was 0.09. No one was looking.
Now up 40% in a week, another 14% in 24h. Market's dead, but ARB is carrying the whole damn show.
Why? Robinhood paid its first "rent." Orbit chain fees — 10% flow back to the DAO. First month: $360K. Not huge, but it flipped the narrative. ARB is no longer just governance air — it's a yield-generating asset.
Fundamentals solid too: $6.19M in H1 revenue, 97% gross margin.
But — 90M tokens unlock on Sep 16. You thought about that?The market's pricing for a Fed rate hike at the September 15–16 meeting has suddenly risen to about 65–67%.
Reuters reported a figure today of around 66%–67%, compared to about 37% a week ago.
Why the sudden increase?
Because a troublesome combination has emerged:
Employment is not particularly strong + inflationary pressures have not completely disappeared + oil prices are very high.
US July nonfarm payrolls were even -23,000, with an unemployment rate of 4.1%.
At the same time, oil prices have heated up again due to the US-Iran conflict, with Brent still around $95 today.
This is very problematic for the Fed.
Because:
Weak employment → theoretically should ease
High oil prices/inflation → but can't afford to ease
So the market is very prone to:
Betting on a rate cut today → betting on a rate hike tomorrow → BTC surging and crashing within an hour.
My bias is: high volatility and repeated false rallies in early September; a major directional reshuffle around mid-September due to Fed/NFP/CPI; then risk appetite begins to recover toward the end of the month.
In other words:
First a drop/sideways movement → then finding direction → Q4 turns bullish again
Rather than:
A continuous crash throughout September.
I believe the overall trend is mainly a bearish consolidation for $BTC $ETH Tomorrow could be a big day for $BTC .
ADP added just 38K private jobs in August, below expectations, showing the labor market is cooling.
Yet markets still price around a 62% chance of a 25bp Fed hike in September.
The missing piece is Friday’s NFP.
A weak report could pressure hike odds and support risk assets. A strong number could strengthen the hawkish case.
**Jobs data or inflation — which matters more for $BTC right now? 👀**
#LastNFPBeforeFOMC
#LastNFPBeforeFOMC The just-released ADP data shows that about 38,000 jobs were added in the US private sector in August, below market expectations. Employment is cooling down, but oil prices remain above $90. So the question arises: should the Fed prioritize employment or inflation? This is the real dilemma in September.
If employment continues to deteriorate, expectations for rate cuts will rise; but if oil prices push inflation back up, it will be difficult for the Fed to quickly turn dovish. Therefore, tomorrow's nonfarm payrolls report is very important, because this time the data has a special aspect: the market doesn't need very good data, it just needs to confirm whether the economy is bad enough for the Fed to stop raising rates.
Let's wait for tomorrow's results and see if the nonfarm payrolls variable can outweigh other factors to become the most important indicator #财报观察员：Broadcom's performance exceeds expectations, Snowflake raises guidance
The US tech earnings season shines: Broadcom's latest results beat expectations, cloud data giant Snowflake significantly raises its full-year guidance, and AI hardware stocks like Dell surge nearly 7%!
This earnings wave releases a key signal of AI industry chain penetration from hardware to software:
Customized ASIC demand explodes: Broadcom's strong growth in self-developed AI accelerators and Ethernet switch chips confirms the irreversible trend of hyperscale cloud giants (CSP) moving away from sole GPU dependence and accelerating self-development.
Enterprise data layer is officially realized: Snowflake's raised guidance indicates that enterprises, after completing hardware infrastructure, are genuinely investing substantial funds into data cleansing, large model fine-tuning, and upper-layer application development.
Valuation re-rating begins: Computing power is no longer Nvidia's solo show; full-stack AI software, hardware, and data service providers are starting to receive comprehensive performance validation and valuation upgrades.
From selling shovel hardware to upper-layer software, which segment do you think will become the leading dark horse in the next phase of the AI race?
$AVGO $DELL $SNOW #FOMC last set of data before: Nonfarm payrolls this Friday
Only tonight at 20:30 remains the August nonfarm payrolls before the September 16 interest rate meeting. Previously released data all weakened: August ADP private employment increased by only 38,000, the slowest since January; the Beige Book shows growth slowing in 10 districts. But CME shows the probability of a 25 basis point rate hike in September is still as high as 62.3%!
Why does cooling employment fail to extinguish rate hike expectations?
Inflation price spread is substantial: Core PCE remains at 3.3%, Carson statistics show that over 54% of 178 PCE sub-items rose more than 3% year-on-year (only 47% last year), indicating very sticky prices.
Fed officials remain hawkish and noncommittal: Williams said inflation is encouraging but firmly stated "we need to wait and see" on further actions, giving no bottom-line promise for easing.
The ultimate showdown focuses on nonfarm payrolls: if nonfarm payrolls deteriorate sharply, rate hike expectations will instantly collapse; if data remains resilient, the tightening boot may land, directly triggering stock and crypto repricing.
Do you think tonight's nonfarm payrolls can pull the Fed back to a rate cut path, or will it completely seal the September rate hike?
$BTC $SPX $TLT$XRP Among the semi-mainstream coins in the crypto world, XRP has always been a very special presence. Backed by Ripple's commercial company, with numerous stories of bank collaborations and regulatory lawsuits, plus spot ETFs, countless retail investors have long held very high expectations, believing that with cross-border payments, institutional cooperation, and regulatory implementation, XRP can keep rising and keep breaking historical highs. But putting aside the hype of positive news and community frenzy, combined with the underlying supply structure, historical chip distribution, macro liquidity pressures, the reality of business and token decoupling, large sellers' selling habits, trapped market structure, and derivatives leverage risks, XRP has a real chance of falling back to around $1. This is not an extreme conspiracy theory, but a market path deduced under multiple real-world conditions. Many retail investors understand XRP's logic very simply: Ripple grows bigger, banking partnerships increase, regulations are settled, ETF funds flow in, and the price of the coin will inevitably rise. But the reality has repeatedly diverged: ETF funds have net inflows, and XRP has fallen instead of rising; The company announced a major institutional partnership, and after a brief spike, the price continued to fall. This shows that a positive narrative does not equal buying power; a company's commercial success does not naturally mean token price increases. Ripple's equity value continues to grow, but the XRP token can keep weakening, and there is no direct interest tie between corporate earnings and retail holders. To make senseGeopolitical risks have suddenly intensified, causing the crypto market to experience a sharp two-way volatility. On the news front, the US launched airstrikes targeting Iran's Revolutionary Guard, and Trump stated that if retaliated against, stronger actions would be taken, quickly spreading risk-off sentiment to risk assets. $BTC plunged from around $79,000 to below $77,000, hitting an intraday low of $76,762; $ETH weakened in tandem, falling below the $2,400 mark, with the market briefly facing a tense situation where about $100 million worth of ETH long positions were close to liquidation. Meanwhile, traditional safe-haven channels were rapidly activated, with WTI crude oil surging 5.2% to $90.22 per barrel, and Brent crude rising 4.6% to $94.65, indicating capital is moving from risk assets to energy and safe-haven categories. This correction is not merely a technical adjustment but the beginning of a geopolitical risk premium repricing. It is worth noting that market sensitivity to non-farm payroll data and rate hike expectations is also rising simultaneously, and subsequent volatility may still amplify. Risk warning: Geopolitical developments carry high uncertainty, crypto asset prices are highly volatile, please manage your positions cautiously and practice risk management.On the eve of the non-farm payrolls, the market swings between "soft landing" and "reflation"
The August ISM Services PMI unexpectedly rose to 56.9, creating a "hot and cold" disparity with the cooling manufacturing sector — the resilience of the service sector remains strong, and wage transmission pressure has not dissipated. The Atlanta Fed's GDPNow model maintains a 5.6% growth forecast; economic hard data is not weak, but the market pricing for the end of rate hikes has reached an impasse.
The current rise in the probability of a September rate hike is more of a passive hedge by the market between "higher for longer" and "early recession." What is truly worth noting is the lagged impact of the oil price rebound on core inflation and the non-farm hourly wage growth — if the month-on-month increase exceeds 0.4%, even with moderate new employment, rate hike expectations will surge again.
In the short term, $BTC has formed a dense chip area near $25,800, with no incremental volume on the upside and no catalyst on the downside, oscillating while waiting for direction. The Nasdaq has already priced in some rate hike premium, but if non-farm hourly wages are strong, tech stock valuations will be further squeezed.
My strategy: control position size before the non-farm payrolls, do not bet on a one-sided move. Strong non-farm data looks at hourly wages; weak non-farm data looks at sustainability — the second hourly candlestick after data release is the real signal.
On September 4, focus not only on employment numbers but also on the payroll. The direction will reveal itself.

#BTC加速拉升，资金还能继续接力吗？ 🔥$BTC September 3rd Capital Watch: More Profit-Taking, ETF Fluctuations, Volatility Simmering
BTC is around 77.4k today, narrowly oscillating between 76.5k and 79.5k, with TMM around 76.35k. Don’t just focus on the sideways movement: Glassnode reports that the proportion of profitable supply rose from 65% to 68%, short-term holders’ cost basis reset to about 71k, and a rebound above 79k is likely to face selling pressure from profit-taking; there is also long-term supply pressure between 83k and 86k. ETFs are acting up — on September 3rd, spot BTC ETF net inflow was about 101 million, IBIT inflow was 115.4 million, GBTC outflow was 56.2 million; during the rebound period, daily average inflow was about 290 million but spot trading volume was only about 3 billion, like adding water without igniting a fire. Even more concerning is volatility: implied volatility is about 37.2, realized about 41, and low implied volatility combined with non-farm payrolls/FOMC events can easily trigger explosions. You can post in the group: “Institutions are buying while withdrawing, profit-taking queues start above 71k; if 77k doesn’t break, it’s clocking out; only a return to 80k counts as a pay raise; between 83k and 86k, veteran employees won’t sign off resignation, so no straight surge.” $BTC The non-farm payroll report on September 4 may become the key to the next volatility in the crypto market. Currently, the market's expectation for a 25 basis point rate hike by the Federal Reserve in September has risen to about 67%. Meanwhile, the unexpected decrease of 23,000 in July's non-farm payrolls has further increased the importance of this data. The market's focus this time is not just on the number of new jobs added. More importantly: Is employment continuing to cool down? Are inflation pressures still stubborn? Will the Federal Reserve maintain a hawkish stance? Recently, ETF funds have also shown significant divergence. In the past week, the US spot BTC ETF saw a cumulative net inflow of about $925 million, but then experienced a net outflow of about $202 million. At the same time, the ETH ETF attracted about $816 million last week, maintaining net inflows for the 10th consecutive trading day. This means the market is not simply "buying or selling cryptocurrencies." Funds are choosing directions anew. 📈 If NFP is stronger than expected: Employment resilience → rate hike expectations heat up → liquidity under pressure → $BTC, $ETH, $SOL may face short-term pressure. 📉 If NFP is weaker than expected: Employment cools down → rate hike expectations fall → risk appetite improves → if ETF funds continue to flow in, it may support a rebound in the crypto market. But note: Weak employment ≠ guaranteed rise. If economic data deteriorates enough to trigger recession concerns, risk assets will alsoBitcoin has bounced back toward $79K after briefly trading below $77K. At first glance, it looks like buyers successfully defended support. But I’m paying more attention to what’s happening in the derivatives market. Bitcoin open interest fell from 331,100 BTC on August 21 to 318,600 BTC on August 31, while funding costs for longs increased. That combination is interesting.

#财报观察员：博通业绩超预期，Snowflake上调指引 CZ said some “hot money” is moving from AI back to crypto, and I strongly agree with this statement because AI won’t make money in the short term, and OPENAI’s cash will be burned out by 2027; the gap between leading model vendors and second- and third-tier ones is continuously narrowing, the entire chip industry’s capacity is fully predictable, and until 2028 there won’t be a significant drop in computing power costs. The whole AI industry is growing far less than expected. It’s not to say the bubble will burst, but expectations have peaked. $BTC 9/3 Market Overview: BTC consolidates at 77.3k (box range 76.2k-77.8k), ETH around 2390, SOL 100, UNI 6.0; after a 25% rise in August, leverage has been cleared, with 24h total liquidations across the network at 150 million (70% longs), volume ratio 0.57, capital reluctant to push.
Macro determines fate: 9/16 FOMC rate hike probability 25bp at 62%-66%, 10Y US Treasury yield at 4.79%, oil price above 95, liquidity headwinds; 9/4 Nonfarm Payrolls and 9/11 CPI are preemptive bombs. On the ETF front, BTC saw single-day inflows but weekly outflows, ETH ETF inflows have been intermittent, institutions support but do not drive prices up.
Qualitative assessment: "77k watershed + macro boot not yet dropped" weak oscillation, neither bottom nor reversal. Only a break above 78k-80k signals recovery; a break below 76k targets 75k-74k. Altcoins diverge—UNI (Robinhood Chain) independently strong, SOL high Beta follows the drop, meme coins should be approached cautiously. Strategy: do not chase or fully buy in, lightly test below 77k, defend at 75k, increase position above 80k. ⚠️10 major assets shifted from 9 declining to 9 rising, yet total trading volume dropped by 9%
The 1H candle closed at 12–13 o'clock, with 9 out of 10 fixed high-liquidity samples closing higher; the previous hour had 9 closing lower. ADA rebounded 1.12%, SOL rose 0.46%, BTC and ETH only increased 0.10% and 0.21% respectively.
Breadth turned positive, but total trading volume fell from 22.01 million to 19.98 million USDT, a 9.2% decrease compared to the previous period. This looks more like a recovery after selling pressure subsided, with active buying yet to push volume back up.
If in the next hour 7 or more close higher and total volume returns above 22.01 million, the recovery is confirmed; if 7 or more close lower, the rebound fails.
Do you think it's better to first watch the continuity of breadth or wait for trading volume to expand again?

#BTC #ETH #SOL #ADA #MarketWatchGlobal Liquidity Drain: US Treasury Yields Surge, Crypto Market Faces a "Suffocation Moment"
The 10-year US Treasury yield soared to 4.814%, hitting a new high since November 2023; global government bond yields surged simultaneously, and the probability of a Fed rate hike in September abruptly rose to 69% — this is not just an expectation, it's almost a confirmed fact.
The transmission chain is brutal and direct: US Treasury risk-free rate breaks 4.8% → funding costs soar → institutions sell off risk assets to return to the dollar → BTC and ETH face pressure and a slow decline. Over the past week, Bitcoin dropped 2.14% to $77,336, and this is just the beginning. The US stock market is propped up by tech leaders like Nvidia, but European and Asia-Pacific markets have fully collapsed, with global liquidity being "drained" — crypto, as a high-beta, non-yielding asset, is the first to be hit in this macro headwind.
All current rebounds are weak recoveries; ETH's struggle around $2400 is unlikely to last. Strategically, respect the trend but do not blindly chase shorts — rate hike expectations are partially priced in, and after a sharp drop, there may be technical rebounds, but every rally is an opportunity to reduce positions or hedge. If a rate hike occurs in September, BTC will most likely test the previous lows in the $74,000-$76,000 range. The real bottom-fishing opportunity will come when rate hike negatives are fully priced in and liquidity expectations reverse.
Waiting is currently the most costly tactic. Everyone calls Bitcoin “digital gold,” but when real inflation hits and rising oil prices revive rate-hike fears, capital often runs toward actual gold and silver instead.
Why? In a tightening cycle, high-volatility assets with no cash flow tend to get hit first.
So maybe it’s time to stop calling crypto a “safe haven” and recognize what it is today: a high-beta risk asset driven heavily by liquidity.
Can Bitcoin finally prove the safe-haven narrative this time?#LastNFPBeforeFOMC #FOMC last set of data before: Nonfarm payrolls this Friday Next nonfarm payrolls are also approaching #黄金ETF增持近10吨，期权波动受关注 $BTC $ETH $FIL This time, it really has something!
This asset has brought back the old narrative of AI + decentralized storage, and despite the market volatility, FIL has risen 5.5% against the trend.
Why the sudden rise?
On one hand, AI training data stored on-chain has increased by 40% month-over-month, and the market is starting to reprice Filecoin as a “decentralized data layer.”
On the other hand, the Onchain Cloud mainnet launch and FVM staking have further locked up some circulating supply, tightening short-term supply.
But what’s truly worth paying attention to is the first halving in October.
Block rewards will be cut directly from 32 to 16, and the annual inflation rate is expected to drop from 18% to below 7%, which could significantly change the entire selling pressure structure.
And the market usually doesn’t wait for the halving to actually happen before starting to price in expectations; trading can begin months in advance.
So at this point in time, it’s indeed easier to form an expectation gap.
Looking at volume:
The 24-hour trading volume is about $16.8 million, three times the 30-day average, showing that capital is clearly becoming active.
But don’t forget the other side of FIL.
In the past year, there has still been about 16%–18% new supply, and the price once fell from $236 all the way down to around $0.8, nearly a 99.7% maximum drawdown.
So historically, this asset has indeed trapped many retail investors.
In the short term:
Support is around 0.78, and previous high resistance is near 0.834.
If it can firmly hold above 0.8 again, there’s a chance for another upward move;
but if 0.78 is effectively broken, the short-term AI + storage + halving narrative will basically have to take a break.
Therefore, I tend to treat FIL as:
A highly elastic position in the AI + storage sector, rather than a value coin to hold long-term.
Take advantage of the market when there’s momentum, but don’t talk about faith when there isn’t.

But they may have underestimated one thing: the liquidity moat of the crypto market is much deeper than imagined.
Société Générale made a high-profile entry last year, with bank-level compliance endorsement. After nearly a year online, its circulation is only $12.6 million. Circle's market cap is $70 billion, and Tether exceeds $180 billion. This is a gap that can't be caught up with just a few licenses.
Banks have compliance and channel advantages, but the crypto-native market values liquidity depth and trading pair habits. USDT/USDC have been rooted in exchanges, wallets, and DeFi protocols for years, with very high migration costs.
Bank entry won't kill USDT, but it may capture incremental markets—cross-border payments, institutional settlements, and compliance scenarios.
The real showdown will be in July 2028—the critical point when U.S. platforms clear out non-compliant stablecoins. Before then, USDT's moat is deep enough, and banks' compliance credentials are strong enough; it's still uncertain who will win or lose.
In the short term, Circle's stock price dropped 6.35% immediately after the news, showing the market has already reacted.
In the long term, the stablecoin market moving from a duopoly to diversified competition is not a bad thing for the industry.

$BTC $ETH At 3 a.m., I stared at the flow of funds on the screen, and a question suddenly popped into my mind: Is this green light for this knockoff really bright, or is it just a cover for the main players? The data from August 31 is actually quite interesting: on the ETF side, Bitcoin attracted $216 million, Ethereum took $87.6 million, and XRP and SOL also saw sporadic gains. The numbers alone aren't shocking, but at this point when BTC repeatedly rubs between 77,000 and 79,000, the mood changes. There are a few signals I want to share on my own board. - The ETH/BTC exchange rate is quietly warming up, and with continued ETF inflows, this may be a tentative, long-term position buildup. - SOL saw capital inflows, but not much; it seems more like short-term funds seeking presence, not yet at the level of a trend kickoff. - XRP can secure institutional orders, indicating that traditional funds are not interested in compliance narratives yet; the scale just cannot support an independent rally. - HYPE's trend is relatively strong; this independent trend usually involves smart money grouping together, which is worth watching. - OKB's ecosystem fundamentals and price structure are well coordinated, making it one of the few stocks I feel have internal logical support. The current market is actually trading one thing: expectations for interest rate cut cycles and liquidity easing. ETF inflows are the surface; the real underlying theme is funds preparing early for next year's risk appetite rebound. But I don't think the altcoin season has already been confirmed. It's more like a crossroads; BTC stabilization is the key prerequisite, and the real altcoin market needs stabilityLast night's JINQIAN/FAMI was so exciting... This morning I saw that JINQIAN has already dropped 95.8%
There is a very obvious loophole here: this FAMI is not an official stock token issued by Robinhood, but a third-party issuance
This makes the narrative of "on-chain Meme short squeeze of US stocks" lack the most basic foundation
There is no official Robinhood Stock Token peg between the on-chain FAMI token and the Nasdaq FAMI stock; it is only driven by short-term attention
There are about 10,000 listed US stocks and ETFs in total, but Robinhood has only brought about 200 on-chain officially, roughly 2%, mainly concentrated in high market cap, high recognition, and high liquidity stocks
Robinhood's official documentation specifically emphasizes: Tokens with the same name and stock code but different contract addresses are not Robinhood Stock Tokens
To determine whether a so-called "stock coin" is officially deployed by Robinhood, it is actually very simple: check the official Registry for the contract address and refer to the official documentationHave you ever thought about this question: when a listed company declares that “we are continuously buying a certain asset,” on what grounds do you believe that it really is buying? The answer is actually very plain — on no grounds at all; you are simply waiting. Waiting for it to put out a financial report once a quarter, waiting for an audit firm to put down a signature, and then choosing to believe that this document has not been dressed up. In this arrangement, between you and the truth ther#非农前数据分化，9月加息预期升温
The market has already priced in the expectation of a rate hike in September. This wave of risk asset decline did not start only after the non-farm payrolls release; rather, it is highly likely that the negative impact will be fully absorbed after the non-farm data is out.
Current data shows a clear split: August ISM Manufacturing PMI dropped to 54.6, cooling down consecutively, but JOLTS job openings still reached 7.27 million, showing labor market resilience beyond expectations. The market's expectation for a 25 basis point rate hike in September has risen to 66%, with US Treasury yields and the US dollar index strengthening in advance. BTC has pulled back from 81,000 to around 78,000, essentially digesting hawkish expectations ahead of time.
Many wait for the non-farm data before making moves, but I think the approach should be reversed: if the non-farm data is stronger than expected and the rate hike expectation is fully priced in, the market will likely drop again, marking a short-term bottom; if the non-farm data is weaker than expected and rate hike expectations cool down, risk assets will directly start to rebound. In other words, regardless of the data outcome, the room for a significant further decline from the current position is limited.
For the crypto space, macro sentiment shocks are always short-term. The core logic of long-term ETF inflows and supply contraction after halving remains unchanged. In terms of operations, I am not panicking to cut losses but am gradually building positions at support levels. After the data release and sentiment eases, the market will eventually return to its own trend.
What do you think? After the non-farm data release, will BTC rebound or continue to test lower levels?
$BTC $ETH ETF funds are seriously diverging! BTC and ETH markets have completely diverged
The biggest highlight in the recent market is not the rise or fall, but the complete divergence in the capital structure of mainstream coins.
BTC remains under sustained pressure at high levels, with continuous outflows from spot ETFs and clear profit-taking by institutions at highs. After a previous rebound, BTC has accumulated a large amount of trapped and profit-taking positions, with heavy selling pressure above, severely lacking short-term upward momentum, and the market has entered a consolidation and bottoming phase.
In contrast, ETH shows a completely different trend. Although it fluctuates with the broader market in the short term, ETFs have seen continuous net inflows over the past week, with long-term institutions steadily accumulating at low levels. The previous lag in gains and attractive valuation make ETH the new preferred choice for capital allocation, with much stronger resilience against declines than BTC.
This also indicates that the market will no longer experience a broad rally but will officially enter a phase of rotation between strong and weak. BTC mainly digests selling pressure through consolidation, making a strong breakout difficult; ETH has solid capital support at the bottom, with a higher probability of catching up later.
Currently, with non-farm payroll data approaching, overall market sentiment is cautious. In terms of operations, avoid chasing highs and heavy positions, wait for the market to stabilize, and prioritize watching for ETH rotation opportunities. #FOMC前最后一组数据：本周五非农 $BTC $ETH #FOMC last set of data before: this Friday's nonfarm payrolls

Finally realized: news now increasingly feels like it's handing scripts to the market.
Last night ADP was only 38,000, below the expected 48,000, employment continues to cool; G20 again signals clearer regulation of digital assets. Such news all comes out at critical moments, BTC can't fall further, ETH has started to V-shaped recover.
But don't get too excited yet, the real big test is this Friday's nonfarm payrolls, which is also the last major employment data before the September FOMC. The market is already trading rate cut expectations; if nonfarm continues to be weak, the rebound space for BTC and ETH will naturally open up; conversely, if data is too strong, expect another hit.
For BTC, I still only watch 770 and 778: above 778, look to 792; below 770, continue weak oscillation. If 755 doesn't break, I won't short.
Same for ETH, don't rush to call 2000–2200 yet, first see if this nonfarm gives bulls a lifeline. $BTC $ETH The first privacy coin to get a US ETF is $ZEC!
It surged to 888 in August, hitting an 8-year high, and now has pulled back to 819. This move is definitely not driven by retail traders. The logic supporting it is stronger than expected:
Grayscale converted the trust into ZCSH, listed on NYSE Arca on 8/25, attracting $53 million in the first three days, and reaching $313 million by 8/28. Weekly new issuance is 657,000 ZEC (about $10.7 million), and early ETF demand is several times the weekly supply, indicating institutions are accumulating, not just hype.
The privacy fundamentals are strengthening: shielded supply ratio hit a record 31%, the Ironwood upgrade permanently fixed the mid-year counterfeit coin vulnerability, and the NU7 shielded holder vote ends on 9/14, possibly changing halving to smooth issuance.
But the current price at 818, with RSI at 75.8, is still overbought. It only dropped 0.86% in 24h with $37.3 million volume, showing high-level turnover. It’s still some distance from the previous high of 888, and just one step away from yesterday’s low of 788.
Seven days of high-level consolidation, 788 is the bull-bear line, 842 is the previous high; there will be stories before the 9/14 NU7 vote. Breaking below 788 would be a signal of a pullback.

#恐慌贪婪指数 Oil prices surge past $90, a hidden threat looming over the crypto space Recently, almost everyone's attention has been focused on ADP, Friday's non-farm payrolls, and the US crypto legislation. However, there is one developing issue that many have overlooked: international crude oil holding steady at $90. The Middle East situation has become tense again, with the US military launching airstrikes, pushing oil prices directly above the $90 mark. Many crypto players feel that crude oil is far removed from them, but in reality, energy prices are the biggest upcoming macroeconomic variable. Let's break down the logic simply. Rising oil prices mean increased energy costs across society, which will push overall inflation higher again. Even if subsequent employment data gradually weakens, as long as inflation rises again due to crude oil, the Federal Reserve's window to cut interest rates will be forced to delay or even be compelled to raise rates again. This also explains why after Wednesday's ADP data unexpectedly cooled, BTC did not rebound accordingly. Employment data is cooling, but the oil price surge has reawakened market concerns about inflation. These two forces cancel each other out, causing the market to stagnate. Many people have a misconception. They always think that as long as employment worsens, the Fed will immediately ease policy. But the Fed watches two indicators: employment and inflation. Even if employment weakens, once oil prices drive inflation back up, the option to raise rates remains on the table. The current situation is very delicate. In the short term, everyone is watching Friday's non-farm payroll results to judge the probability of a rate hike in September. But if oil prices continue to hold above $90, it will be a mid-to-long-term hidden threat hanging over the crypto market. Of course, there is no need to panic excessively 21 financial institutions plan to launch a US dollar stablecoin, indicating that banks finally no longer want to just sit on the sidelines
Stablecoins have previously been weapons for crypto companies and payment companies—fast, versatile, and favored by users. Banks were more defensive before, worried about deposit outflows, regulatory responsibilities, and being bypassed. Now they are forming teams to enter the field themselves, essentially admitting that the path of on-chain US dollars can no longer be ignored
But bank-issued stablecoins won’t be as wild as crypto-native stablecoins. They are more likely to serve corporate settlements, cross-border payments, and institutional clearing, emphasizing compliance, reserves, redemption, and identity systems
The most interesting aspect of this competition is that stablecoins are no longer just crypto products but tools for banks to reclaim payment gateways
#21家金融机构拟推美元稳定币 As mentioned earlier, Saudi crude oil exports have slid up oil prices and increased US inflation risks. This logic hasn't yet materialized, and with the nonfarm payroll data set to be released this Friday, coupled with the recent reality of gold ETFs increasing their holdings, these major events will completely set the tone for the crypto world for the foreseeable future. Many retail investors still focus only on the crypto world, scrolling through communities, watching market makers, and contracts liquidation, treating crypto as a closed game. But in reality, employment reports across the ocean and institutional funds in the gold market are transmitted through liquidity chains to Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, ZEC, Trump, and all sorts of altcoins — the extent of impact varies greatly by coin. Let's clarify the logic first. Nonfarm data focuses on three things: new jobs, unemployment rate, and wage growth rate. Booming jobs and sharp wage increases mean the US economy remains hot; even if oil prices don't continue to spike, wages will naturally drive up inflation. Once inflationary pressures resurface, the Fed will delay rate cuts, and the market may even re-trade the possibility of rate hikes. As US Treasury yields rise and the dollar strengthens, cheap money in global markets will tighten. And the continued increase in gold ETFs is itself a form of institutional voting. Institutions buying gold ETFs partly to hedge against inflation risks caused by geopolitical issues and crude oil; partly because institutions anticipate huge uncertainties in the future economy and monetary policy, treating gold as a safe haven. This#黄金ETF增持近10吨, options volatility is under scrutiny, with GLD call open interest exceeding put options by nearly 2.5 million, marking the largest gap since February. On the surface, this seems like a story in the same direction: funds are frantically bullish on gold. But if you look closely at what options traders are betting on, things get strange: they buy large amounts of call spread options, not directly heavily hold call options. Implied volatility is far below the Q1 high. The call option skew is narrower than at the beginning of the year. To put it plainly: they want to rise, but don't want to pay too much for a "rise." On one side, ETFs are betting with real money, like pushing gold prices up with both hands. On the other side, the options market is leaving itself a way out with its carefully calculated feet. Hands are increasing, feet are finding an exit. This is the most unusual part of this news: the gold market is speaking to itself in two completely different languages. Replace the subject with "that savvy foot." If the subject is "gold ETFs," the story is "the allocation is bullish." If the subject is "call options," the story is "sentiment enthusiastic trading." But if the subject is the foot that is calculated in the options market, replacing bare long positions with spread structures, the entire narrative reveals a crack. What is this foot saying? It says: "I believe gold prices will rise, but I don't believe it will rise fast or far enough to be worth paying full price for this belief." So it bought call spread options—the cost is lower, but the upside is locked within a range. It bought a strange option—with a single outcomeThe 10-year US Treasury yield soared to 4.803% today, hitting a new high since November 2023 😬
The last time this number appeared, BTC was still hovering around 35,000.
Now $BTC is at 77,000, the position is different, but the pressure is the same.
What the market is really worried about now is not whether the yield is high or not, but whether the Fed will actually raise rates on September 16.
Currently, the probability of a rate hike has climbed to 65-68%. If the September 5 nonfarm payroll data is stronger, this number will have to go even higher 📈
Technically, 79,000 is the bulls' defensive line today.
If it holds, we can wait for the nonfarm data; if it breaks, look down to 76,500.
Before the data comes out, all positions are betting on one report, don’t fool yourself into thinking you’re trading.
With rate hike expectations heating up and high interest rates weighing on interest-free assets, $BTC will definitely struggle in the short term.
But I don’t pay attention to what officials say, only whether they dare to actually raise rates in the end.
With 40 trillion in debt on the table, who can’t talk big?On September 15, the U.S. Senate will hold a crucial vote on the "Clarity Act."
As soon as this news came out, the market naturally started to get excited. After all, this is a major issue that U.S. crypto regulation has been closely watching.
But interestingly, the more these moments come, the less I like to see the words "positive news."
The reason is simple. A vote does not equal passage. To advance, it needs at least 60 votes. The Republicans hold 53 seats. That means they still need to find at least 7 Democratic senators. And right now, both sides haven't even fully agreed on some specific provisions.
So the truly interesting part of this matter is not:
"Is September 15 really a big positive?"
But rather: Why does a bill that seems to already have industry consensus still need to be negotiated vote by vote at the end?
Because the crypto market likes to talk about consensus. Wall Street likes to talk about interests. Politicians like to talk about votes. The rules that actually get implemented are often the result of compromises among these three.
So this time, I'm not in a hurry to guess the market's rise or fall. Let's first see who will provide those 60 votes.📝 Today's Share
BTC Nonfarm Eve, 77K Becomes the Battlefield for Bulls and Bears
Tomorrow night at 8:30, the August Nonfarm Payrolls will decide the September rate hike script.
The market expects an increase of 50-80K, with an unemployment rate of 4.1%. July was -23K, so this data is very likely to rebound—but the key is whether the rebound exceeds expectations.
ADP recorded 38K yesterday, below expectations, the weakest since January, casting a shadow over Nonfarm. The 10-year yield soared to 4.81%, the probability of a rate hike rose to 68%, and the market has priced in a hawkish stance in advance.
Three scenarios:
📉 Over 100K → Rate hike confirmed, BTC pressure increases
🔄 50-80K → Meets expectations, volatility followed by consolidation
📈 Below 30K → Rate hike expectations ease, rebound opportunity appears
BofA reminds: Nonfarm is just an appetizer; the CPI on September 11 is the key to deciding whether to hike rates.
My approach: Hold the base position, no adding or betting on direction. Wait for data to land before acting, keep U on hand for signals.
⛔ Risk reminder: Historical data shows that if data exceeds expectations, BTC may fall back to $75,000 or even lower. Don't go heavy tonight. $BTC $ETH

This round of oil price increases has a real supply gap. But the price also includes a heavy war premium. In the short term, Brent crude oil will still fluctuate sharply between $90 and $105. Breaking through $100 is not difficult. To hold steady in the long term, we need to see Saudi exports continuously hindered, or a serious disruption in the Strait of Hormuz again. The news of the “lowest in nine years” alone cannot support a long-term oil price bull market. In August, Saudi observable crude oil exports dropped to about 3 million barrels per day, the lowest level since 2017. In February this year, Saudi Arabia could still export about 7.3 million barrels per day. In half a year, it has decreased by more than half. However, this “3 million barrels” comes from vessel tracking data from institutions like Kpler and Vortexa. It is not the final official data released by Saudi Arabia. During the war, many oil tankers turn off AIS signals and also hide routes through offshore transshipment. The specific numbers may be underestimated. There is not much controversy about the direction. Saudi crude oil is indeed harder to transport out. On September 1, Brent crude oil rose 4.6% in a single day, closing at $94.65. WTI rose 5.2%, closing at $90.22. The next day, Brent once touched $97.04, then fluctuated around $95. The oil price increase happened before the “lowest in nine years” data was widely spread in the market. The real trigger was the renewed clashes between the US and Iran, and the attacks on oil tankers. Two supertankers carrying Saudi crude oil were attacked while leaving the Strait of Hormuz. The ships carried a total of about 4 millionASTER｜September 17: Original team cliff start (official announcement postponed to after 2027/9/17 requires on-chain verification)

Both bulls and bears have material, waiting for 9/6 to see the real outcome.The probability of a September rate hike has already surged to 70% even before the non-farm payrolls were released. What signal does this send? Yet today's employment data is starting to weaken again. What should we make of this market?
The latest ADP report shows that the US private sector added only 38,000 jobs in August, not only below the market expectation of 47,000 but also the lowest in 7 months. The JOLTS data released the day before also indicates that companies' hiring intentions remain weak.
Currently, market expectations for Friday's non-farm payrolls are low, with an anticipated increase of just over 50,000. Clearly, the US labor market is no longer as "tight" as it was in previous years.
Here’s the question: Employment is cooling down, so why is the Federal Reserve more likely to raise rates?
Because the market's concern now is not just employment but inflation making a comeback.
The US-Iran conflict has pushed oil prices higher, with Brent crude returning to elevated levels; the 10-year US Treasury yield has also reached around 4.81%. Coupled with the hawkish signals from Warsh at Jackson Hole, the market's expectation for a 25 basis point rate hike in September has soared from about 37% a week ago to 70%.
Therefore, Friday's non-farm payrolls are very likely to be highly impactful.
**If the data is too strong:** Rate hike expectations will continue to rise, US Treasury yields will climb, and tech stock valuations will remain under pressure.
If the data is clearly weak:** The market will start worrying about the US economy again, and trading logic will shift back toward recession risks.
The most awkward scenario might be if the data only weakens moderately—employment is not strong enough but not weak enough to make the Fed fully pivot dovish.
What the market is really waiting for now is not just "how many jobs the non-farm payrolls add," but:
How weak does employment have to get to outweigh the inflation-driven pressure for rate hikes?
The answer will be revealed this Friday. $BTC $ETH $SOL #FOMC前最后一组数据：本周五非农 #财报观察员：博通业绩超预期，Snowflake上调指引 #沙特原油出口跌至9年最低，油价飙升 📊 $BTC Before NFP: The Market Is Already Nervous

Broadcom's Q3 revenue and profit both exceeded expectations, with AI semiconductor revenue at 16.7 billion, but the overall revenue guidance for Q4 is slightly below analyst forecasts, causing a post-market drop of over 6%. The market is saying one thing — no matter how strong the AI chip business is, it can't withstand the drag from the slowdown in traditional business, and the tolerance is getting lower.
Snowflake presents a completely different picture, with product revenue up 37% year-over-year, AI-assisted coding tool CoCo's user accounts increasing to 9,100, and an upward revision of full-year revenue and margin guidance, surging 21% after hours. The AI story on the software side is being validated, turning from "pie in the sky" to "real money."
Dell also recently raised its full-year AI server revenue forecast. Putting these three signals together — AI demand is spreading from chip procurement to servers, network equipment, data cloud, and software applications. But the market's demand for delivery speed is also increasing; Broadcom's slightly lower guidance was punished, indicating the margin for error has narrowed significantly.

Based on the market's conditioned reflexes over the past twenty years, the next scenario should be: energy shocks → rising inflation expectations→ central banks in a dilemma→ and the market began betting that "the central bank wouldn't dare raise rates→ risk assets would catch their breath." But the reality in September 2026 is: on the same day oil prices broke through $95, the market pushed the probability of a Fed rate hike in September to 65%. There is no pricing where "the central bank will hesitate." There is no consensus that "no rate hikes are traditionally due to supply shocks." The moment the market saw energy prices soar, its reaction was—increasing its bet that the Fed would be more hawkish. This is the most unusual part of this news: it's not that oil prices have risen, but that the market's interpretation of "rising oil prices" has completely changed. Replace the subject with "that broken transmission chain." If the subject is "Saudi Arabia," the story is "export contraction." If the subject is "oil prices," the story is "inflation alert." But if the subject is the "energy→inflation → central bank → assets' transmission chain that was once revered by the market, you find something terrifying: the third link of this chain has broken. In the past, the logic of this chain was: rising oil prices → rising inflation→ central banks faced a dilemma→ the market expected the central bank to "hesitate→ increased uncertainty in the interest rate path→ buffering risk assets." The key lies in the "dilemma." The central bank hesitates, and the market exploits this hesitation. But now, the market has directly skipped the "dilemma" step. Oil prices have risen? Good, the probability of rate hikes has increased. No hesitation, no weighing options,The most chilling scene in blockchain isn't necessarily a private key being stolen. It's when a wallet with no public key, never signed, and theoretically never supposed to move, suddenly transfers funds by itself. MANTRA released a full post-mortem on August 28: the attacker exploited an unsigned integer underflow vulnerability in the upstream `cosmos/evm`, moving about 600 million MANTRA from the burn address, and about 121 million from an early multisig address, totaling approximately 721 million tokens, worth around 3.6 million USD at the time of the incident. No validator keys, admin privileges, or multisig signatures were compromised, and no customer accounts were directly debited. The problem lies in a very "programmer-like" pitfall: when the system performed subtraction, it should have detected insufficient balance and thrown an error, but because the numeric type couldn't represent negative numbers, it wrapped into an astronomical number. The attacker then exploited this erroneous state to debit unauthorized addresses. No new tokens were minted out of thin air, but balances that were economically dormant became liquid assets, which still impacted circulating supply and market confidence. The truly painful part isn't the code itself, but the phrase "this address can never move." Because the team treated the burn address as a permanently dormant dead account, monitoring didn't watch it. Nearly four hours passed after the first abnormal transfer without an automatic alert; after the second transfer, the chain was paused only 14 minutes later. The network was ultimately down for 30 hours and 13 minutes. Cosmos's security post-mortem also expanded the scope of the incident: similar vulnerabilities exist in
