$BTC $SNDK Both Bitcoin and US stocks "lay flat" over the weekend, with the core being the perfect offsetting of bullish and bearish forces, so neither dared to make the first move.
On Bitcoin's side, both positive and negative factors were evenly matched. Strategy's sale of 1,690 BTC (about $108 million) put supply pressure, and the SEC's delay in tokenization project exemption plans dampened sentiment, combined with two consecutive days of net outflows from ETFs. But these negative factors were offset by the U.S. stock market strength and long-term institutional allocation expectations, resulting in BTC stuck in the $62,000–$63,000 range.
On the US side, it was also "neither rising nor falling." The S&P 500 hit a record high on Thursday, but July retail sales plunged 0.6% month-on-month on Friday, consumer confidence declined, and tensions between the US and Iran pushed up oil prices, prompting funds to take profits before the weekend and wait and avoid risks. The three major indices ultimately fell only about 0.2%.
Simply put: without new stories, there are no new directions.
#消费动能转弱, September policies remain constrained by inflation, #ETF买盘反转 BTC leveraged positions have rebounded 兄弟们，$SNDK这波没上车的，我估计现在最纠结的就是一个问题： 还能不能追？ 先说我的看法： 我现在不会因为它涨疯了就直接看空，但这个位置让我追，我也是真下不去手。 8月13日投资者日当天，$SNDK直接涨了大约13.7%，8月14日又涨了约6.5%，收在1628美元附近。算下来，这周已经涨了接近35%。 最刺激的是，这波不是纯炒情绪。 投资者日确实给了市场一些东西。 公司把长期增长目标、80%左右的长期毛利率目标、长期客户协议以及HBF高带宽闪存都拿出来重新讲了一遍。 而且华尔街也开始重新给估值。 摩根大通给到了2250美元目标价，花旗维持2100美元目标价。 所以现在最容易犯的错误就是： “这么好的基本面，那就直接追啊！” 我反而觉得没那么简单。 因为市场已经提前把很多好消息交易了一遍。 你现在买的，已经不是前面那个1000多美元、大家还在争论“AI存储到底是不是故事”的SNDK了。 现在市场已经开始交易： AI存储需求继续爆、HBF成功、利润率维持高位、长期合同继续增加。 只要其中一个环节低于预期，股价就可能先给你一个大回撤。 所以如果是我： 已经有仓位的，我不会因为涨了就急着BTC — I'm Yuvi, 63,000 BTC, I'll just say one thing
All macro factors are providing positive news: CPI, PPI, and retail all cool, while US stocks hit new highs, BTC hovered around 63,000.
It's frustrating that the positive news hasn't risen further, but let me look at it differently: these positive factors haven't been priced in yet; liquidity is slowly opening up, but it will take time for them to reach the crypto world.
The 62,000-63,000 range has been repeatedly tested four or five times but still hasn't been broken, so the support funds are piling up. Support that's been tested repeatedly is more reliable than the kind that can be pulled up by a single bullish candlestick.
My strategy: Don't short at this position; wait for volume to break through 65,000 before adding more. If it falls, there's bottom; if it rises, there's room. The odds are on my side.
$BTC 兄弟们，如果你依旧相信$BTC四年周期理论，可以认真看看这套时间推演。
BTC过往宏观周期展现出极强的规律性：
2015–2017牛市：1064天
2017–2018熊市：364天
2018–2021牛市：1064天
2021–2022熊市：364天
2022–2025牛市：1064天
如果历史剧本继续复刻：
2025–2026熊市持续364天，周期底部时间窗口落在2026年10月5日。
结合当下盘面，大饼持续走弱、长期震荡承压。按照这套周期框架，如果后续走出最后一跌，将会是长线分批抄底的窗口期。
⚠️客观冷静补充：
历史规律可以作为参考，但不能当成铁律刻舟求剑。
如今市场环境早已改变：现货ETF机构资金入场、美联储流动性政策、全球监管环境，都会扰动周期节奏。过往精准的天数循环，属于历史巧合，不存在必然兑现的逻辑。
即便时间窗口临近，也要结合价格支撑、链上情绪分批布局，切勿一把重仓赌低点。Guys, Bloomberg just released data on August 16. S&P 500 component earnings grew 31% year-over-year in Q2, far exceeding the previous 23% expectation, marking the strongest increase since Bloomberg's industry research began data in 1992, excluding recovery after major recessions. Over 90% of the constituent stocks have already released their financial reports, and overall profit performance for the first half of the year is expected to be the best for the same period since 2021. Among approximately 1,500 U.S.-listed companies that have disclosed results, three-quarters simultaneously achieved earnings per share and revenue that exceeded expectations. The profit structure is also improving—the S&P 500's net profit margin has risen from 14%, which was difficult to break in previous years, to nearly 16%. Mark Hackett, Chief Market Strategist at Nationwide, said that AI used to be mainly a cost center, but this year there is a turning point and it is beginning to become a profit center. Profits are no longer limited to large tech companies but are spreading across broader sectors. With such strong profits, what does Wall Street think? The year-end average target has been raised to 7,894 points—meaning there is only about 1% upside from the historic high set this week. The full-year profit growth forecast has been raised from 15% at the beginning of the year to 27%. 7894。 This is only about 1% higher than the current level. Old Mo will break down four whys for you. First, profits rise quickly, but the index has already risen. The S&P 500 has risen about 13% over the years. Earnings growth of 31% is indeed faster than the index gains, with the P/E ratio dropping from about 26 times at the beginning of the year to just below 22 times over the next 12 months. But 22x is still not cheap historically—the S&P 500's long-term average price-to-earnings ratio is about 1⚡ Multiple economic signals signal a collective downturn! Yet the market remains deadlocked, with the market unable to welcome a one-sided surge
The confidence of American consumers in spending is rapidly fading.
The latest July retail sales data fell far short of expectations, falling 0.6% month-on-month, after the market generally expected a modest 0.1% increase. Demand across industries cooled simultaneously: car sales cooled, online retail activity waned, and with crude oil prices falling, gas station revenue shrank simultaneously. Not only consumption data, but the August consumer confidence index fell from 55.2 to 51, marking the first decline in nearly three months.
Persistently easing inflation, showing signs of weak employment, combined with weakening consumption, and multiple negative factors have been unfolding one after another, further weakening the Fed's motivation to raise rates again in September. Referring to CME interest rate futures data, the probability of keeping rates unchanged at the policy meeting has risen to 67.5%, with some institutions projecting as high as 71%.
But the market hides a huge contradiction: people's one-year inflation expectations have not fallen but instead risen, rising from 4.2% to 4.3%. A surreal reality has emerged: ordinary people are actively cutting back on spending and spending cautiously, yet they still anticipate prices will continue to rise. Under such contradictory expectations, easing rate cuts are unlikely to arrive easily, so various risk assets naturally struggle to sustain a rally.
Turning the perspective back to $BTC. Weakening consumer data dampened rate hike expectations, which in the short term is a bit of a positive sign and can provide a brief breathing room for the market. However, inflation expectations remain high, long-term US Treasury yields remain under pressure, and the 65,000 level remains a tough ceiling to break.
Don't fantasize that a single set of economic data can reverse the trend. Currently, the market has no clear direction and can only continue to fluctuate and tug-of-war. The answer to all major rallies will only be revealed after the September interest rate meeting.
#消费动能转弱, September policy remains constrained by inflation $BTC $ETH $ETH $BTC **BTC, $63,100, four negative factors failed to break below $60K, market is quietly hardening**
MicroStrategy sold 1,690 BTC yesterday and cashed out $108 million—Saylor has started selling, but BTC hasn't budged. Combined with the SEC vote cancellation, $100 million in Cold Card theft, and Trezor data leaks, four negative factors have hit the bank, yet it hasn't even broken $62K.
Santiment data: Market sentiment hits its worst record level, with the entire internet shouting "crypto is dead." But whales (10-10K BTC) have secretly accumulated shares amid panic, marking the first time since April. MVRV has returned to negative territory, historically a long-term bottom zone.
ETF funds are still flowing out, spot volume shrinking, but the $60K-$62K bottom is getting stronger. Only after the $65K level did it turn bullish. If it falls below $62K→ $60K→ $58.5K.
Next week is packed with catalysts: 8/19 White House Crypto Meeting, 8/20 CFTC, 8/26 PCE.
Direction: **Watching and leaning bearish**, but bottom signals are accumulating. The biggest positive is that the bearish situation does not fall.Any BTC bought in 2025 is still at a loss now. So, as long as the 2025 chip decreases, except for wallet transfers, the rest is sold at a loss.
As of today, there are still 4.77 million BTC in 2025, down 41.5% from the peak in December last year.
The two distinct slope quantiles of the downward trend are: before February, there was a sharp decline, then a slight slowdown after February, but the slope still maintains a certain range.
This group is probably the largest supply side in the current market.
If we compare the data from 2024, 2023, and 2022, it's not hard to see that these chips with unrealized gains have basically passed the steep downward slope.
And the longer the time, the smaller the slope. From the chart, the curve slope after February almost becomes a straight line.
Even if the price drops further, the change in the number of chips won't be obvious. In other words, those that should be switched have been exchanged, and the rest remain untouched.
From the past two bear markets, during the 2022 bear bottom, the 21-year high chips dropped by 51%; During the 2018 bear bottom, the 2017-year high chips dropped by 62%;
If we only consider Kezhou, I personally think this round of bear bottom will be at most 50-60% (currently 41%), not counting the BTC bought in 2025 ETFs and MicroStrategy, most of which are locked in and unmoved.#标普盈利超预期, why is Wall Street only looking at 7,894 points?
I'm Ci Ge. S&P 500 earnings exceeded expectations, but Wall Street only gave a target price of 7,894 points. These numbers don't add up no matter how you put them together.
S&P 500 Q2 earnings grew 31% year-over-year, higher than the previous 23% forecast, and full-year earnings growth expectations rose from 15% at the beginning of the year to 27%. Over 90% of the constituent stocks have already disclosed their earnings reports. Earnings growth outpaced the index gains, with the P/E ratio dropping from about 26 at the beginning of the year to less than 22 times over the next 12 months. Earnings are accelerating, valuations are shrinking, so logically, the index should still have plenty of room to grow.
But Wall Street's year-end average target was only 7,894 points, about 1.4% higher than Friday's closing of 7,785 points. Earnings growth exceeded expectations, yet the index was not significantly revised. Essentially, the market is waiting for two variables to give direction: whether the profit margin improvements brought by AI can spread to more industries, and whether cooling consumption will pass on to corporate revenues.
S&P earnings are exceeding expectations, while Wall Street is waiting for data to prove it. The target price of 7,894 points is not underestimating earnings; it is waiting for profits to spread to more industries. The short-term impact on BTC depends on whether profits can spread and consumption stabilizes; in the medium term, the logic of AI infrastructure capital spending remains unchanged. S&P is waiting for spread, while BTC is waiting for its own catalyst $BTC $ETH $SNDK Consumer data unexpectedly disappointed, and the September rate hike may be out of reach
July retail sales fell 0.6% month-on-month, while expectations for a 0.1% increase were expected, catching everyone off guard. The August consumer confidence index also dropped from 55.2 to 51.0, below the expected 54.5.
CPI has fallen, PPI has fallen, and now consumption is starting to cool down—the reasons for a rate hike in September are disappearing one by one.
But there's a detail worth noting:
Consumers' one-year inflation expectations actually rose from 4.2% to 4.3%. This shows that while people say "the economy is failing," deep down they are still worried about rising prices. This presents a dilemma for the Fed: economic data supports not raising rates, but inflation expectations won't make it relax.
For $BTC:
Cooling consumption + weakening rate hike expectations are short-term positive for risk assets. The US dollar and US Treasury yields may come under pressure, giving BTC a chance to rise on this momentum.
However, if inflation expectations continue to heat up, the duration of high interest rates may be extended, raising questions about the sustainability of this rebound.
In the short term, let's see if 65,000 can hold steady; if it holds, there's a chance to hit 70,000. But if inflation data continues to exceed expectations, the shadow of a rate hike in September will still loom over.
My judgment: short-term positive, medium-term dilemma. #消费动能转弱, September policy will still be constrained by inflation $BTC #霍尔木兹协议待落地，原油风险等待定价
霍尔木兹海峡对币圈影响依旧不小，毕竟$BTC 最近是真的弱，而油价对BTC真正的影响，并不是避险，而是通胀。
现在临时航道虽然接近确认，但这不等于海峡全面复航。只要原油供应风险还在，油价就可能在开盘后重新补涨。
油价$CL 涨，不会利好BTC，其中黄金$XAU 是大多数人都会选择的避险资产，最关键看它会不会把通胀预期重新打起来。
如果原油只是温和上涨，美元和美债收益率没有明显走高，市场可能继续交易地缘风险，BTC反而有机会吃到避险和通胀对冲叙事。
但如果原油突然大涨，进一步推高美国通胀预期，美债收益率和美元同步走强，那对BTC反而是利空。因为市场会重新押注美联储降息受阻，美元流动性收紧，高风险资产首先承压。
所以不要因为霍尔木兹海峡紧张就看多BTC。
目前真正要盯的只有一条线，原油→美债收益率→美元。
原油涨，但收益率不涨，BTC还有机会，原油涨、收益率和美元一起涨，那BTC就要小心了。
#标普盈利超预期，华尔街为何仅看7894点 I have a long position in $DOT with an average price of 0.7775 and a current price of 0.7586, with an unrealized loss of more than two points and a stop loss of 0.6874.
I wrote it because it's too boring. $DOT dropped another 2% today, with only 960,000 U traded in 24 hours—a classic coin with such shrinking transactions, no one is playing anymore. There were 6 mentions on X in 24 hours, but 0 long. This kind of coin is ignored by institutions, not by retail investors, and even by riding the hype.
Why am I going long in this area? Since opening my order until now, $DOT has been grinding between 0.75-0.78, with a 24-hour low of 0.756 and a high of 0.7844, with a range of less than 4 points. Unable to drop and with no one to talk to—I actually think this situation is more worth watching than a volume rally—when a reversal starts, it's often the look of being ignored.
Strategy: Target 0.756. Once it breaks, the judgment must be adjusted, so the stop-loss is not very close (0.6874). The bet is on the bottom area, betting on one wrong bet and losing the position. I might have misjudged this position, $DOT This kind of liquidity, a big bearish candlestick breakdown only takes a few minutes. Looking up, first 0.78-0.784 is today's high. If it rises, I will keep holding; if it fails, I admit my mistake.😅 Huang is also weak—slashing from 250 billion to 120 billion!
Nvidia holds about $21 billion in SpaceX shares, but its guarantee for OpenAI's data center has been cut from $250 billion to less than $120 billion—it's been cut in half!
Investing in equity means a maximum loss of 21 billion—guarantees mean liabilities, and if a client collapses, there's unlimited coverage. Cutting guarantees shows that Huang is well aware of the AI infrastructure bubble.
It's not about being empty, it's more sophisticated. Investing in shares is fine, but not carrying debt.
#英伟达深入AI资本链. How to balance synergy and risk A noteworthy signal has emerged in US crypto regulation.
The SEC public meeting originally scheduled for August 14 was suddenly canceled
And this is not an isolated incident.
The CLARITY Act, a crypto market structure bill previously promoted by the U.S. Congress, was also postponed to September to continue advancing.
At that time
US spot Bitcoin ETFs saw net outflows for two consecutive days:
August 12: About -$61M
August 13: approximately -$131M
The cumulative net outflow over two days was about $192M.
This means the market is currently facing two pressures:
👉 Regulatory implementation expectations have been delayed
👉 Institutional funds are becoming more cautious in the short term, so the recent BTC pullback cannot simply be understood as "deterioration of crypto fundamentals."
The market is waiting to see when U.S. crypto regulation will truly take effect, while institutional funds are entering a short-term observation phase.
But I think the most noteworthy thing about this matter is not the SEC's "cancellation of a meeting," but the upcoming September.
If the SEC reconsiders renewing Crypto regulation and the CLARITY Act smoothly moves into the next phase, the U.S. crypto market may experience a new regulatory expectation reassessment.
What kind of regulatory framework will the US provide for crypto in the next round?
This could determine the valuation logic for the entire industry in the next phase.$CORE 昨天特意多发了一篇，形态上看上涨缓慢无力！提示不要冲动！和上几次一样。一般真正拉伸很少给绝大多数人反应机会！这个走的这么别扭，不像！为什么动态会那么大的反应呢？那是因为大家苦这玩意久矣！久旱逢甘露！给一点阳光感觉晴天就要来了！没那么容易！这玩意一直靠嘴叙事！很多人脑袋被洗的天天为这玩意造势！如果真那么牛逼，价格不会这样无底线的！被人忽悠的都要倾家荡产了，还在为别人摇旗呐喊呵呵冷静下来看看现实！有现货的绝大多数也跑不掉，躺着呗！做好最坏打算！The Calm Before the Move
Sideways doesn’t mean nothing is happening. Sometimes, it means the market is quietly loading up for its next big move. 👀
$BTC has been trapped between $63K and $65K for nearly ten weeks. It looks boring on the surface—but underneath, the story is getting interesting.
Momentum is shifting.
Volatility is compressing.
Long-term holders are staying patient.
And the macro picture is slowly changing.
Four forces are lining up at the same time.
#WeakConsumptionFedSplit ETF Flow Divergence: Why Institutions Prefer $BTC but Are Starting to Revalue $ETH Staking Yields
Recently, there has been a rather interesting phenomenon in the market
Institutions claim they are all embracing crypto assets
But when money flows in, it still comes in honestly
The first stop is mostly $BTC
The reason isn't complicated
$BTC Too good to tell stories
Digital gold, scarce assets, inflation resistance, macro hedging
These words are understood by Wall Street
Customers can understand as well
Fund managers are also less likely to mess up when using them for PPTs
Therefore, $BTC ETFs have strong capital attraction capabilities
Essentially, not because it's the sexiest
But because it is the safest and easiest to explain
For institutions
Assets that can be clearly explained
This makes it easier to be configured
But $ETH has recently started to get interesting
Many people used to watch $ETH
I always feel its narrative is too complicated
Smart contract DeFi Layer2 staking gas fees
As the story went on, the newbie got distracted
But now things were different
If $ETH ETF can stack staking yields
Then it's not just a price-volatile asset
It's somewhat like an asset that generates on-chain cash flow
This is crucial for institutions
Because they like two words
Earnings
BTC is like a safe
Put there speaks of scarcity and faith
$ETH is more like a machine still running
Although occasionally noisy and slow ignition,
But it can work and may also continue to produce output
So the future is not the main focus
$ETH can replace $BTC
This question is too clichéd 🚨消费都崩了还敢冲8000？那才是真危险！
标普500盈利确实猛——二季度盈利同比增长31%，全年预期从15%升至27%，估值从26倍降到22倍，看起来健康得很。
但另一边是——非农-2.3万、零售-0.6%、消费者信心暴跌、通胀预期还在涨——经济地基在松，企业利润却在天上飞。
如果经济真的降温，盈利高增速能维持多久？ 消费占GDP七成，消费没了，企业收入从哪来？现在这种“宏观数据越差、股市越涨”的走势，不是牛市，是预期市——全靠降息故事撑着。
华尔街平均目标7894点，离现在只差1.4%，这是啥意思？ 意思是机构也觉得差不多了，再往上就是纯情绪博弈。
消费崩了还拉8000，那不是突破，是诱多。这位置，追进去就是接飞刀。

Core Risk Mechanism Yield Zeroing Threshold: The proposal sets that when the total network staked $ETH reaches 50% of the total supply, consensus layer rewards will be gradually burned until they are zero. Currently, the staking rate is about 34%, but the upward trend is clear
Leverage strategy inversion: The premise for profits in revolving leverage strategies is the pledge yield > lending rate. If the underlying yield drops from the current 2.6% to 1.2% while the lending rate stays around 1.5%, the spread will turn negative, instantly turning the strategy from a "money printer" into a "loss-making machine"
Chain liquidation crisis: Once profits no longer cover costs, large-scale deleveraging will trigger $ETH sell-offs, leading to liquidity pool depletion and collateral price declines, potentially triggering chain liquidations and depegging risks similar to the 2022 crash
Market reaction and gaming: Institutions strongly opposed this, believing this move would erase $ETH's yield-bearing advantage over $BTC and distort yield benchmarks
Governance differences: The proposal aims to prevent centralization of staking, but critics point out that this could actually eliminate independent nodes, accelerate centralization, and cause significant harm if the "brakes" are not fully developed
If Ethereum's returns drop to zero, institutional funds may flow into other high-yield assets
Currently, the proposal is still in the draft discussion stage最近加密社区最热的话题，莫过于$BTC和$ETH这对“老大哥”，到底谁更能吸引资金。但在笔者看来，这并非一道简单的二选一选择题，真实的市场，正在上演一场“三分天下”的资本大戏。📊 先看机构动向。聪明钱正通过ETF渠道悄然进场，直接逆转了此前长达半年的净流出趋势。仅上周就有11亿美元资金回流，贝莱德依然一马当先，占据约80%的市场份额。以太坊这边也不甘示弱，连续五周录得资金净流入，势头甚至盖过比特币。华尔街巨头摩根大通、摩根士丹利在二季度持仓双双翻倍甚至更多，显然是想把这两类资产纳入核心配置。这种转变并非偶然，而是机构对“确定性溢价”的重估——当加密资产逐步被主流金融体系接纳，ETF的通道便成了最稳妥的合规入口，资金自然愿意提前卡位。🏦 不过，市场里还有一股不可忽视的“抽水”力量。不少资金正从比特币撤出，头也不回地涌向AI赛道。这本质上是两种叙事之争：一边认为AI应用更务实，另一边相信加密资产的想象空间更广阔。这种虹吸效应，反映的其实是同一批资金在追逐“更性感的增长故事”。当市场缺乏明确热点时，比特币作为流动性最好的加密资产，自然首当其冲成为“提款机”。从心理层面看，投资者卖掉盈利的$CORE 拆解「Bitcoin持有能量」叙事背后的套路与漏洞

今日凌晨热推的这套论调看似宏大，实则是针对性的情绪维稳话术。
海量闲置BTC是行业公认的存量蛋糕，借此制造预期，暗示大额BTC资金终将入场。整套概念十分模糊，没有量化指标、落地周期，只是把远期猜想包装成必然兑现的机遇。

BTCFi赛道竞争白热化，资金不会天然流向CORE。持有大额BTC的机构极度审慎，不会单凭概念进场布局。

⚠️仅个人盘面思考，不构成投资建议，加密市场风险极高 Coinbase's BTC negative premium for 90 consecutive days actually means that US spot buying has not been strong during this period.
Especially since this time it has set the longest record since the indicator was introduced, at least one thing is clear:
Although BTC has not experienced a runaway decline recently, active buying interest in the U.S. market has remained weak.
This actually matches many of the previous phenomena:
Macro expectations are improving, CPI and PPI have not further deteriorated, rate hike expectations have declined, but BTC has not shown particularly strong follow-up gains.
This may be the reason.
The positive news is increasing, but there aren't enough funds truly willing to chase prices.
Of course, negative premiums cannot be directly interpreted as institutions withdrawing.
It mainly reflects that Coinbase's quotes are weaker compared to Binance, indicating that buying interest in the U.S. is not strong enough, or selling pressure is heavier.
So now, I'm more focused on when this negative premium will begin to narrow significantly, or even turn positive again.
If macro pressures continue to ease and Coinbase's premium starts to improve, it will indicate that U.S. spot funds are truly starting to return. Talking about the Strait of Hormuz this weekend, both sides have started calling out from afar again.
On the 14th, Trump declared again: after defeating Iran, he will declare the Strait of Hormuz as U.S. territory.
Just a week ago, he said the U.S. had complete control over the strait, but this time it has been directly escalated to U.S. territory.
Iran is not backing down either.
On the 15th, it was directly announced that a route agreement had been reached with Oman, and both sides had agreed on a route map for commercial vessels. However, Iran's foreign minister made it clear that there are currently no plans to renegotiate with the United States.
Both sides were speaking their own way, and neither side changed the status quo.
The strait remains closed, and direct negotiations between the US and Iran have not resumed at all.
Trump's remarks felt more like a performance for a domestic audience; he laughed after saying it, showing that he knows how unreliable this matter is.
How will oil prices move at Monday's opening?
The market was closed over the weekend, and these news have not yet been repriced. $BZ closed above $88 last week, $CL above $81.
The two directions are completely opposite: Trump is escalating confrontation, while Iran and Oman are advancing navigation.
Which market will it choose?
I tend to expect oil prices to open high and fluctuate, because the agreement does not solve the fundamental problem, and the U.S. also clearly opposes Iran's approval authority.
$XAU Most likely to continue risk-averse logic.
$BTC It's hard to say. With the same geopolitical risk, gold is rising, while BTC is still at the bottom. My judgment is that BTC will still be suppressed in the short term, and geopolitical tensions are never good news for risk assets.
#霍尔木兹协议待落地, crude oil risk awaits pricing Tomorrow's Key Strategies (These are just my personal thoughts for reference only)
(1) BTC: Prioritize watching the 62,000–63,000 range
If after a pullback and near 62,000 stops falling + rebounds with increased volume: consider a light position or long position.
If it breaks below 62,000 and the rebound doesn't pull back: don't rush to buy long, the correction may continue to extend downward.
If it regains the 64,000–64,500 range: the short-term structure will clearly strengthen, then consider going long with the trend.
Recent market data also considers the $64.2K–$64.5K range as important, with BTC having previously pulled back significantly.
(2) ETH: More suitable for waiting for confirmation than BTC
Currently, ETH is around $1,884.
Tomorrow we can focus on the following:
$1,850–1,880: Support to watch zone
$1,900 regains → short-term strengthening
$1,850 falls below → Not recommended to take the flying knife head-on
If BTC also breaks below key support, ETH tends to experience greater volatility.
(3) The most important thing tomorrow is not the prediction, but the rhythm
Decline → stabilize → shrink volume → sudden volume increase and rebound
This is the signal I'm more willing to go long.
Conversely:
Rebound → to resistance level → volume down → long upper shadow → break below short-term support
This is better suited for short-term trading than chasing long positions.
Additionally, recent macro variables remain noteworthy: the yield on the US 10-year Treasury note is about 4.67%, and the interest rate environment remains an important variable for BTC, a risk asset.
Regarding positions, it is recommended not to fully invest in one go tomorrow; the first maximum is 20%–30% of the planned position, and increase only after confirming the direction. Leverage is especially important to control risk; the above price should not be treated as inevitable support or pressure.The S&P has hit another new high!
U.S. stocks are indeed strong, with funds clustering around the leaders, and risk appetite remains strong!
First, risk appetite is rebounding, which is a positive sentiment for crypto. A strong US stock market at least shows that global funds are not panicking, and $BTC is unlikely to fall deeply.
Second, liquidity siphon is also obvious. Funds are rushing into US stocks, while crypto lacks incremental growth. So $BTC can only hold sideways, neither rising nor falling deeply.
Third, the stronger the S&P, the less eager the Fed is to cut rates. This still puts pressure on the valuation ceiling of risk assets.
#标普盈利超预期, why is Wall Street only looking at 7,894 points? #消费动能转弱, September policy remains constrained by inflation, #霍尔木兹协议待落地 oil risks await pricing in $SPCX rise is only temporary; the decline is the main theme!
Many people have already joined this rally, but I have instead become firmly bearish—not because there is no story, but because short-term prices have already traded too much in advance.
My reasons for being bearish:
1️⃣ The rebound is too large
SPCX quickly rebounded from near its early August low, quickly climbed back above its IPO price, and even approached $150 at one point. After consecutive gains, both profit-taking and short-term funds have cashed out, and the profit-loss ratio for those chasing higher prices is declining.
2️⃣ Supply pressure brought by the lifting of restrictions
On August 20, about 320 million shares were available for sale, roughly 3.5 times the volume on Friday. Even if not all these shares were sold, the market would have already traded in "potential selling pressure."
3️⃣ Valuation and investment pressures still exist
SpaceX's Q2 revenue grew very strongly year-on-year, but the capital expenditures behind AI and satellite businesses are also huge. The market is currently trading on distant expectations for the future; if growth falls short of expectations, high valuations can easily be repriced.
So my short-term approach is simple: just short directly!
#SPCX首份财报将公布, the $100 billion ban is about to be lifted $BTC The basis between CME Bitcoin futures and Binance perpetual contracts has narrowed to below 0.5%, which is a clear signal that institutional funds are no longer betting on one-sided directions. The funding rate for BTC perpetual contracts has approached 0.0000% for several consecutive days, sometimes even negative, indicating that long and short funds are almost in absolute equilibrium. There has been no significant increase in open interest, indicating that no new capital has entered to bet on direction, and existing funds are competing in the stock game.
The put/call ratio in the Bitcoin options market has rebounded to 0.83, which is relatively high, indicating that the market currently prices downside risk more than upside potential. Implied volatility continues to fall to a six-month low; the cost of buying options is low when volatility is extremely low, but once the direction appears, volatility expands sharply.
---#交易之声: Your experience deserves to be heard
Right after the meeting, when the leader wasn't paying attention, he took out his phone to glance at it. Both CPI and PPI pointed to no rate hikes, so logically, they should have risen, right? But ETF saw net outflows for two consecutive days, with Fidelity and ARKB leading the way, and even IBIT, the toughest buyer, pulling out. No way, even positive expectations can't be held—how weak is that?
And this is different from "good news is bad news." The September meeting hasn't even started yet, so it's just speculation and expectations. If it should rise or not, then there's a problem. I think $BTC won't keep shaking. Previously, it held on because there was an expectation of no rate hikes, but now it's clearly not enough. You need reasons to rise, but not for a fall—only buying can push the price up; without good news, funds move elsewhere. If there's no negative news, it'll fall on the side; if there's bad news, it will crash.
Don't take the flying knife near 63,000; I don't dare to touch anyway. If you hold at 62,000 with high volume, you can lightly enter and try increasing to 63,000, but I feel most likely to go straight to 60,000. Damn, the position at Dog Farm is really tough, palms sweaty, staring until my eyes are blurry.
Do you think you can hold the 62,000 yuan? Or should you just go straight down? 😭$BTC 第一，CPI利好已经消化殆尽。 7月美国CPI同比+2.9%，虽然低于预期的3.0%，但市场已经Price In。核心CPI 3.2%仍然高于美联储2%的目标，这意味着美联储短期降息仍是“狼来了”的故事。目前的利率期货市场定价显示，9月维持利率不变的概率约60%，加息25个基点的概率仍有约40%。高利率继续压制风险资产。
第二，矿工生存压力持续存在。 算力虽然企稳，但矿工群体依然面临“成本倒挂”压力，部分高成本矿工正在退出或转向AI算力。这形成持续的抛压来源，虽然规模不大，但在低流动性市场中被放大了。
第三，美国大选年加密政策出现转机。 参议院推动的CLARITY法案虽然被推迟到秋季，但两党对加密监管框架的共识正在增加。这为比特币提供了长期政策催化剂。 The key market signal may be what cannot trade yet. With weekend oil markets closed, stalled talks over Hormuz, sanctions, blockade and reparations leave a meaningful geopolitical risk without a live crude price.
For BTC, the first-order reaction may matter more than the inflation-hedge narrative. A crude jump could lift inflation expectations, the dollar and yields, creating an initial liquidity headwind even if the longer-term monetary case for Bitcoin strengthens. My read: watch the rates channel before assuming digital gold behavior.

The previous post didn't mention SpaceX, so I left it for a separate discussion because its performance yesterday (August 14) was truly special. Here are some of the anomalies I observed: 1. Breaking news flooding frequency is abnormally high: According to Jinshi data, SpaceX was mentioned 14 times throughout August 14 (excluding duplicate pushes). How frequent is this? For comparison: on the same day, Nvidia was mentioned only 10 times, SanDisk 7 times (while SanDisk was mentioned 11 times on the 13th, with its stock price rising 15% that day). SpaceX's exposure was noticeably different from usual. 2. Institutional holdings are concentrated and "open" cards, with mixed feelings. Seven of these concerns are disclosures by major institutions, well-known companies, or individuals about their SpaceX holdings (such as Nvidia, Saudi PIF, Tiger Global, Harvard University, etc.). While these are certainly positive, they also raise two concerns: 1) After a concentrated disclosure, there may be a short-term lack of new catalysts; 2) Too many institutional positions are openly displayed, which can actually make people wonder if "there are too many open cards, and the buying opportunities for the future have dried up." 3. The most representative "positive news turns into negative news" The moment news of Cursor's acquisition was officially completed, SpaceX's stock price immediately fell by 3%, with the largest intraday drop reaching about 6%. This is almost textbook-level "Buy the rumor, sell the." 🤖 CAN AI BECOME BITCOIN’S NEXT BIG NARRATIVE? 👀
$BTC remains tightly compressed around the $63K region, with short-term moving averages clustered nearby—another sign that the market is waiting for a catalyst.
But the more interesting development may be happening outside the Bitcoin price chart.
Bitcoin miners have accumulated something increasingly valuable:
⚡ Power capacity
🏭 Data-center infrastructure
🌐 Grid connections
🖥️ High-performance computing facilities
As AI and HPC demand accelerates, some of this infrastructure could potentially be repurposed toward compute-intensive applications.
That creates an unusual connection between two seemingly different sectors.
Bitcoin mining → power infrastructure → AI/HPC demand
AI doesn't necessarily need to push $BTC higher directly.
Instead, it could increase the value of the physical infrastructure surrounding Bitcoin mining, potentially changing how miners allocate capital, power and computing resources.
That's the hidden narrative worth watching.
If AI demand continues expanding while BTC remains range-bound, the market may eventually start valuing certain miners for more than their Bitcoin production.
Bitcoin may not be the AI trade.
But Bitcoin's infrastructure could become part of the AI trade. 🚀
$BTC #Bitcoin $AI $HPC
#WeakConsumptionFedSplit #SP500EarningsGap $1.1 billion in ETF buying, cooling CPI, and war in the Middle East—yet BTC is hovering at 63,000
From August 3 to 7, US spot BTC and ETH ETFs combined saw net inflows of about $1.1 billion.
CPI has cooled down—July's CPI year-on-year fell from 3.5% to 3.4%, and core CPI fell to 2.5%, easing inflationary pressures.
The US-Iran conflict is still ongoing, and the standoff in the Strait of Hormuz is far from over.
These three signals are good news in any textbook.
And then?
BTC is hovering around $63,000. It can't rise, doesn't fall deeply, like a boxer hit by a pressure point.
Is the market failing, or have we missed something?
Come on, make a list.
✅ Geopolitical conflicts continue to escalate→ Traditional safe-haven assets should rise, but BTC → didn't keep up
✅ CPI cools down, inflation pressure eases→ risk assets should rise, → BTC did not follow
✅ $1.1 billion in ETFs flowed in→ institutions bought → BTC, but they didn't follow
Despite three positive signals stacking together, BTC remained unmoved at 63,000.
This is not a market failure—it is the scale of "macro headwinds," far greater than the "micro positives."
The Federal Reserve has kept interest rates unchanged at 3.50%-3.75% for five consecutive meetings.
The 2-year Treasury yield remained around 4.16%. The 10-year yield is approaching 5%.
What does a 4% risk-free rate mean?
It means you put $1 million into U.S. Treasury bonds, do nothing, and earn 40,000 a year lying down.
Holding Bitcoin — zero interest, zero cash flow, and bearing over 60% volatility risk.
It's not that BTC is lacking in value. It's that the 4% risk-free rate is too tempting.
Even more troublesome is another set of data.
From August 10 to 13, BTC ETFs returned to a net outflow of about $329 million. On August 13, there was a single-day outflow of $131 million.
Spot buying is retreating.
On the other hand, Bitcoin futures open interest surged by $1.2 billion in eight hours on August 14. Binance open interest peaked at $8.15 billion on Wednesday.
Derivatives leverage is piling up.
Spot demand is weakening, and leveraged positions are expanding.
This is not accumulation—it's a powder keg. Once ETF funds continue to flow out, leverage accumulation amplifies pullback and liquidation pressure.
High interest rates + high oil prices + geopolitical risks = triple macro headwinds.
Any single micro-positive effect will bounce back against this wall.
So what if the CPI fell by 0.1 percentage points? Oil prices are still above $80. At least five of the Fed's 19 policymakers are still calling for rate hikes.
Don't blame BTC for lacking expectations; it's just that the 4% risk-free rate is too tempting.
So what now?
In short: until the Fed truly pivots, all good news will be "filtered" by high interest rates.
The $1.1 billion inflow into spot ETFs failed to drive prices—because bigger money was waiting, waiting.
What are you waiting for? Waiting for when interest rates will fall, when the Middle East will pause, and when macro uncertainty will subside.
Before that, BTC is very likely to continue grinding within the 60,000 to 65,000 range.
Grinding until most people lose patience, until leverage is cleared, and until macro signals truly shift.
$BTC $ETH $OKB #ETF买盘反转, BTC leveraged positions rebounded #霍尔木兹协议待落地, crude oil risk awaits pricing
Trump suddenly posted a video calling out to Iran, stirring up the tension over geopolitics and quietly shifting into risk-averse mode!
The U.S. has not relaxed its blockade on Iran, and now he personally steps in to talk about Iran. Anyone with eyes can see that this is not just a statement, but more like a leak—there will likely be further moves to follow.
So don't expect BTC to profit from the "safe haven" logic right now.
People often call Bitcoin "digital gold," but when it comes to geopolitical tensions and war expectations, the fastest direction for smart money is still gold and US Treasuries.
Gold jumps, the dollar is strong, and BTC is often the first to be smashed.
To put it bluntly, it's just a thin layer of paper:
When panic really breaks out, institutions' first reaction is to cut up their volatile positions, not to rush in to buy coins and hedge risk.
If the current Iran situation continues to escalate, BTC shouldn't get too caught up in the short term.
But the other side also has to be closely watched:
If the conflict drags on, oil prices are pushed up, inflation resurfaces, and expectations for Fed rate cuts are suppressed, BTC will likely be the first to take the hit, and only then will it slowly return to trading along the main line of "dollar credit + global liquidity."
Conclusion: Don't force BTC to be labeled as a safe haven right now. #霍尔木兹海峡僵局 #美伊博弈升级 $BTC #ETF买盘反转, BTC leverage positions have rebounded
$BTC. No one is buying ETH spot, but gamblers are betting wildly!
Crypto liquidity is shifting toward US stocks and altcoins in search of greater resilience.
From August 3 to 7, BTC+ETH ETFs once saw a net inflow of about $1.1 billion, but from August 10 to 14, BTC ETFs returned to net outflows.
Meanwhile, BTC futures open interest once reached about 765,820 contracts, with a nominal value close to $49.2 billion, and the funding rate remained positive.
Simply put, no one is buying spot stocks, and gamblers are betting wildly!
If capital is truly bullish on BTC, what should be observed is: ETFs continue to flow in→ spot prices rise, → leverage follows.
But now it's a bit the opposite: BTC sideways → spot funds outflowing → leverage accumulation.
So where did the money from the market go?
Maybe it was a US AI + altcoin.
Because these areas are more volatile, capital can more easily generate profits.
Now, we can wait for signals of sustained net inflows from ETFs again; until then, BTC is more like accumulating momentum than launching.
If spot trading regains control, leverage will become an upward amplifier.
But if ETFs continue to flow out, the accumulated leverage will sooner or later become fuel for sell-offs.
Personally, I think the short-term trading opportunities for Bitcoin and Ethereum aren't very large. US stocks have actually performed better, and $SPCX $SNDK are good participating stocks.In the past 24 hours, $168 million was liquidated, nearly 90,000 people were cleaned out, short positions are relatively high, BTC fell below 63,000 and buying failed to catch up, ETH still holds liquidation risk below 1,789 million over 469 million orders. On BSC, bulls rolled from $121.4 million to $284,000, a return of 231572%. Such extreme orders are draining market liquidity. BULL's problem is even more direct: TradingView has no effective candlestick, OKX's spot price benchmark has dropped to zero, Coinglass liquidation chart still shows 0.0613, below 0.0507 long positions have thick liquidity, and above 0.0644, short positions are dense. The current price of 0.000000000 indicates there is no real trading counterpart on OKX; slippage and inability to trigger stop-losses will swallow the principal. I had just turned my car into the backstreet to rest for half a minute when my phone came in again to urge me to place orders. Based on this price, the entry range, take-profit level, and defensive stop-loss level all have no conditions to be established; being short is the only actionable conclusion.

@OKX planet BTC $63,000: The gap between apparent bullish and actual positioning amid a low-liquidity market. Are these bullish signals welcomed by the market already priced in expectations, or changes that have yet to be priced in? BTC continued to fluctuate around $63,000 in the low-liquidity zone over the weekend. While spot buying was not absent, the price was maintained without trading volume, so this move is not highly reliable. Key support and resistance levels have narrowed to the $62,500 and $63,500~$64,500 ranges, respectively. There are two structural signals to watch in this weekend's market. First, MARA sold 23,000 BTC in the first half of the year, acting as a supply pressure. Miners' volume disposals are generally recognized as direct overhangs in the spot market. Second, Tudor increased its BTC ETF holdings by 18.9%. Institutional accumulation is a factor that strengthens the mid- to long-term demand base.

周一开盘先到1750美金CAN AI BECOME BITCOIN’S NEXT BIG NARRATIVE? 🤖₿
$BTC is now around $63,070, holding a tight range near the $63K zone as traders wait for a stronger catalyst.
But the bigger story may be developing beneath the surface.
Bitcoin miners are increasingly turning their massive power capacity and data-center infrastructure toward AI and high-performance computing (HPC). Recent developments include Riot’s reported $9.1B, 20-year AI compute agreement with Anthropic, while other miners are also accelerating their AI infrastructure pivots.
That creates an interesting new connection:
⚡ Bitcoin miners → Power infrastructure
🤖 AI → Exploding demand for compute
🏢 Data centers → Higher-value infrastructure
The key signal: AI may not need to directly drive BTC higher to become part of Bitcoin’s narrative. Instead, it could increase the strategic value of the power, land and infrastructure built around Bitcoin mining.
If this trend accelerates, Bitcoin miners may evolve from pure crypto operators into major AI infrastructure players—potentially creating a new valuation story around the entire mining sector.
AI + Energy + Bitcoin infrastructure could be a powerful combination to watch. 👀$ETH
ETH was also calm, with daily and 4-hour moving averages all intertwined, volume shrinking sharply, a typical opposite-direction market change.
Let's get straight to the short-term strategy:
Long Approach:
When it pulls back near 1876-1878, if the 15-minute line closes with the lower shadow and stabilizes, you can buy a bit. Set your stop loss at 1868. The first target on the upside is 1888; if it can break through with volume, keep watching 1895. If a single move breaks below 1876, forget it—don't hold on.
Short-selling approach:
If the price surges to the 1885-1888 range and the price is clearly stagnant, such as a long upper shadow for 15 minutes, you can try shorting. Set a stop loss at 1892, look below 1878, and if it falls below 1874.
💡
Although there are plenty of whale transfers and macro news, the market remains completely indifferent, indicating no capital is taking over. With such an extremely narrow amplitude now, don't overdo heavy positions or bet on directional positions. You must wait for a clear volume bullish or bearish candlestick on the 15-minute chart, break above 1876 or hold above 1890, then trade in the rightward direction; your chances of winning will be much higher. Recent on-chain data shows multiple long-dormant Bitcoin wallets have made large-scale transfers. An address that had never been active since 2013 suddenly moved all 500 BTC (approximately $31.3 million) to a new address. CryptoQuant data further reveals that on August 3, about 935 BTC that had not moved for over ten years were activated; on July 31, another approximately 6,388 BTC held for five to seven years were transferred. However, these actions cannot be simply interpreted as "ancient whales selling off." On-chain information only confirms that the funds changed addresses; it cannot prove a direct connection to the recent Coldcard security incident, nor can it determine whether these BTC later entered exchanges. But the timing coincidence is indeed thought-provoking. This phenomenon has also sparked reflection on the security of self-custody. It was previously believed that buying a cold wallet and recording the mnemonic phrase was a one-time solution, but the migration of an address dormant for 12 years indicates that risks such as hardware aging and firmware vulnerabilities accumulate over time. The safest solutions of the past may also fail. Coins can remain untouched for ten years, but holders cannot neglect management for ten years—regular checks and updates of security measures are necessary. In the crypto bull market, even chickens and dogs could rise to the heavens. A coin just launched, constantly talking about surpassing $ETH and catching up with $BTC, casually pulling a few big bullish candlesticks, everyone thought they had bought the next hundredfold coin.
That's completely not the case now...
This round of money clearly only recognizes the top; $BTC can break previous highs, $ETH will struggle to leave. The remaining funds will continue to cluster in coins like $SOL, $BNB, and $OKB with ecosystems and trading volumes, and will never reach those useless altcoins.
The spectacular rise of 2021 is unlikely to be seen again. Many altcoins may not be relieved but delisted from exchanges......8 hours, $1.2 billion: BTC is playing out a "life-or-death battle between bulls and bears"
August 14.
Eight hours.
$1.2 billion.
Bitcoin futures open interest surged at an almost "lightning-war" pace.
This is not buying in stock.
It's leverage gambling.
Let's look at the other side first.
From August 10 to 14, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw a net outflow of $389.7 million, marking the largest single-week capital withdrawal in six weeks.
On August 14, there was a single-day net outflow of $131.1 million, marking the third consecutive day of net outflow.
Institutions are retreating.
ARKB outflowed 58.8 million, FBTC outflowed 55.1 million.
But the futures market is celebrating.
What's even more intriguing are the details.
This $1.2 billion increase was mainly concentrated in offshore perpetual futures platforms—Binance, Bybit, OKX.
CME regulated futures did not surge in tandem.
What does this mean?
This is not institutions increasing positions; retail investors and speculative funds are dominating.
Leverage can reach up to 100 times. An eight-hour growth rate of $1.2 billion is faster than the $1.6 billion increase in 24 hours during the mid-2026 price correction.
The faster the speed, the greater the risk.
Now let's look at funding rates.
Stay positive.
Bulls still dominate—but positive rates mean bulls are continuously "paying positions."
Costs are accumulating.
Every day is bleeding.
What does BTC look like now?
Like a rubber band stretched to its limit.
The direction is undecided. But no matter which way you flick, the force is never weak.
Scenario 1: ETF continues to flow out, spot buying is absent→ leveraged bulls lose support → liquidation chain reaction → flash crash.
Some analysts warn that if the price falls below $62,800, a large amount of high-leverage long positions have accumulated below, potentially triggering a chain liquidation.
Scenario 2: Spot buying suddenly resumes → leveraged bulls "icing on the cake" → short squeeze rebounds.
Glassnode data shows that BTC futures open interest has surpassed the total day's futures trading volume, with large open interest but thin volume—in such a thin market, liquidation faces little resistance in either direction.
Thin market, large fluctuations.
Eight hours to 1.2 billion—not a belief, but a gamble.
Spot is retreating, and leverage is charging.
Institutions are selling, retail investors are gambling.
This market is fragmented.
On one side, real funds are exiting; on the other, illusory leverage is accumulating.
Who is right and who is wrong? No one knows.
But one thing is certain—
During liquidation, there is no right or wrong, only position size.
$BTC $ETH $OKB #ETF买盘反转, BTC leveraged positions rebounded The audience's gaze was always drawn by the rising candlelight, but I had already slipped that real card into Wall Street's sleeve. On the backstage monitor, the S&P 500 rose for three consecutive weeks, breaking records on Thursday and closing at 77-85.76 on Friday—just a grand illusion warming the scene, keeping the audience glued to the red candle, unable to see that the other pigeon under the hat had already been replaced by a crow. I heard applause and couldn't help but smile: they thought they were sitting at the table, not realizing the whole table was a makeshift mechanism I set up for this show.
It's time to show your trump card. The earnings season handover bell rings, over 90% of companies unveil the veil, Q2 profits soar 31% year-on-year, eight whole peas above the market estimate of 23%. Beautiful, the audience is full of cheers. But the cheater's eyes are always fixed on that black box: the forward P/E ratio has shrunk from 26 to below 22. Earnings growth outpacing the market—isn't this a textbook visual error? You think the chips have thickened, but that's just me folding a Ace of Spades into two thick cards at my fingertips. Valuations shrink in the hidden compartment, bubbles dripping down like melting ice cubes down the sleeve. The full-year growth forecast jumps from 15% to 27%, more like a smoke bomb exploding right under everyone's noses, making you believe this magic never fails.
But look down at the year-end target Wall Street has thrown on the table: seven, eight, ninety, and four points, only 1.4 points above current price. The stinginess of this target is precisely the most clever trick—when all eyes are nailed down to a price as low as possible, you will never catch sight of the other hand reaching for the audience's wallet. The real problem is never that target, but the hand wearing white gloves: can tech profits be pulled out endlessly like magic ribbons, pushing the index all the way to eight thousand points? If the cold knife of weak consumption stabs into the revenue groin from behind, then tech, Bitcoin, and the cards you hold in your hand will all be swept into the black velvet bag by me, zipper closed, and nothing remains.
Watch carefully, audience. The real trick is never at the table, but in the gold watch that disappears from your pocket.Market Status Summary
$SNDK SanDisk and other US storage sectors
Currently, the enthusiasm for the rise is very high, reflecting a structural sector trend. The overall market is volatile, but the storage sector is showing independent strength.
The core of the rally comes from positive news released by Investor Day, the explosion of AI inference driving flash demand growth, NAND chip price increases, long-term orders locking in capacity, weakening cyclical attributes, and cash returns to shareholders, all driven by concentrated institutional capital to chase the market.
The risk lies in the huge short-term surges and rapid valuation increases; if AI demand expectations are lowered, profit-taking is likely to occur.
News: High U.S. Treasury yields will weigh on overall growth stocks; However, the sector's own supply and demand factors are dominant, so the sector is strengthening against the trend.
Spot ETF funds saw slight outflows, and the market is highly cautious, lacking endogenous positive drivers.
Although risk appetite for technology is rebounding, capital is still flowing into more certain AI hardware, diverting funds into the crypto market.
The news faces the combined impact of both asset classes
Rising long-term U.S. Treasury yields are a common macro variable.
For storage stocks: The industry's own performance logic is strong enough to offset the pressure from interest rates to some extent.
For cryptocurrencies: Crypto is a high-risk asset, and rising interest rates directly increase the opportunity cost of holding it, suppressing upward momentum.
The two only share global risk preferences, with no direct causality, leading to divergent market trends.
Looking ahead, the focus will be on the statements from the Jackson Hole conference, which will simultaneously affect the two major assets of U.S. stocks, storage and crypto. #财报观察员: AI infrastructure earnings report debuts one after another Account position divergence radar
Even though it's a bullish side, having more accounts and heavy positions aren't the same—the difference is shown in this chart.
$DOGE The account direction is bullish, while leading positions are bearish; The side with more people is not currently the side where the leading positions are heavier. Reduce positions after a 15-minute drop; the most clear current is position exit and deleveraging. If the price rises but the leading positions remain bearish, position size conflicts are likely to occur during pullbacks.
$CAP All accounts and leading accounts are bearish, while the leading positions are oversized, and the account direction is opposite to the position weight. A 15-minute drop and position reduction occur simultaneously, indicating the current phase is deleveraging. If the price declines but leading positions remain long, position size conflicts are likely to occur during a rebound.
$PEPE Both the total and leading accounts are overweight, while the top holdings are bearish, and the number of accounts and position weights are not on the same side. The downtrend was not accompanied by withdrawal; newly increased holdings make this volatility even more vigilant. What the bulls need next is not more accounts, but confirmation of top position weights.The weakening of consumer spending momentum is a real pressure, but directly translating it as September inevitably means easing is still too fast. Right now, it's more important to look at three things than guessing the date: whether inflation will continue to decline, whether employment data will cool in tandem, and whether the dollar and US Treasury yields will weaken in tandem after policy expectations change. Currently, Bitcoin is about $63,125.6, up 0.05%, while Ethereum is about $1,883.77, down 0.06%. This divergence indicates that funds have not yet formed a unified risk appetite. Do you care more about the next inflation data or the employment data triggering the coin price? $ETH $BTC
