Regarding the CLARITY Act, my judgment is simple:
In the short term, it most likely won't pass, but it's not that important.
1. The bill is important, but not mandatory.
The core is to use legislation to clearly define the regulatory boundaries between the SEC and CFTC.
However, the Senate has been stuck for months, with ongoing debates about DeFi and interest-bearing stablecoins, plus the midterm elections, so the time window is actually very short.
So I’m not too concerned about whether it will pass or not.
2. What’s really worth watching is the probability fluctuations.
Trump’s statements, the SEC’s compliant ICO framework, and CFTC Chairman Selig’s remarks could all cause short-term shifts in the probability of passage.
I opened a position within 20% at @bagel_win, and now it’s back to 28%. 🎉
So:
Don’t bet on the outcome, watch the probability.
3. Regulation has actually already been preemptively filled in.
The SEC’s compliant ICO channel essentially paves a path for tokens:
Securities → shedding securities attributes → commodities
The CFTC is also pushing exchanges, brokers, market makers, and perpetual platforms into the regulatory system, and Hyperliquid will most likely follow this path.
Along with token taxonomy, asset classification, issuance, and trading regulation are all gradually being implemented.
So to put it plainly:
Even if CLARITY doesn’t pass, regulation won’t stop.
Of course—what if it does pass? Then just consider it as having positioned yourself early. 😏
#白宫峰会：特朗普称曾讨论购入BTC
$BTC This round of collective cryptocurrency rally is not merely driven by speculative capital but is the result of the combined effects of macro liquidity, overseas regulatory expectations, and market structure, with the uptrend supported by clear fundamental factors. The improvement in macro liquidity is the underlying driver of this rebound. The U.S. Treasury has expanded the scale of long-term Treasury repurchase operations, effectively lowering long-term U.S. bond yields, marginally easing market liquidity conditions. The valuation pressure on risk assets has been significantly alleviated, providing upside space for highly volatile assets like cryptocurrencies. Overseas regulatory expectations have warmed up, substantially restoring market sentiment. On August 18, the U.S. SEC announced proposed rules for crypto assets, establishing a new exemption mechanism and safe harbor framework to regulate certain crypto asset issuance and financing activities. On August 19, the White House met with crypto industry executives to fully promote the legislative process of the "Digital Asset Market Clarity Act." Regulation has shifted from ambiguous tightening to rule-based implementation, completely reversing market pessimism. The short squeeze in the market has amplified the rally. After a prolonged period of market consolidation and adjustment, many investors were bearish on the outlook, with short positions continuously accumulating and becoming highly crowded $BTC $ETH $SOL #Anthropic拟8月底公开IPO文件，募资或追平SpaceX BTC accelerates its rally, can the funds continue to take over? The real discussion about this round of Bitcoin's rise is no longer "how much it has increased," but a more critical question: Who exactly is pushing BTC up? If it's just a short squeeze caused by short liquidations, then this rally might come quickly and go quickly; but if sustained spot funds, especially institutional funds, have re-entered the market, then $70,000 might not be the end but just the starting point of a market revaluation. From the current data, I tend to define this rally as a mixed market of: "spot funds warming up + short squeeze + improved macro expectations." In other words, it is not purely a short squeeze, but the short-term acceleration definitely has a clear short squeeze component. 1. Why did BTC suddenly accelerate? The trigger for this rally is not complicated. On August 20, BTC once surged to around $72,800, with a single-day increase of over 6%, marking a new high since June. At the same time, the U.S. Treasury announced an expansion of long-term Treasury repurchase operations, which the market believes may ease long-term interest rate pressure, improving risk asset sentiment. Trump also pushed the "CLARITY Act" again at a White House cryptocurrency event, further reducing market concerns about U.S. crypto regulation. But macro news was only the "ignition." What really accelerated BTC was the market itself having accumulated a large number of shorts. After BTC reclaimed $70,000, short stop-losses and liquidations began to become new buying pressure. On August 19, BTC rose in a single day#BTC accelerating its rise, can the funds continue to take over?
I am Brother Ci. BTC broke through 75,000, and the low volatility state was completely broken. The 24-hour high reached above 75,000, with shorts concentrated on closing positions, amplifying the gains. The entire network's liquidations once approached $3 billion, with shorts accounting for the vast majority.
The capital side is simultaneously recovering. On August 19, the combined net inflow of US BTC and ETH spot ETFs was about $706 million, with BTC around $517 million and ETH about $189 million. Continuous net inflows into ETFs over multiple days are the core incremental factor of this rally. Institutions have been continuously buying above 65,000; the buying is not short-term speculative funds but allocation-type capital entering the market.
The current divergence lies in the nature of this rally. If it is a short-term acceleration after a short squeeze, then profit-taking at high levels and leverage re-accumulation will amplify volatility, and the market may quickly top out. If it is a trend repair brought by ETF and spot buying flows returning, then this rally still has room, and pullbacks are buying opportunities.
The key lies in whether subsequent trading volume and stablecoin liquidity can keep up. If incremental funds continue to enter, the short squeeze market may switch to a trend upward. If spot support is insufficient, high-level profit-taking and leverage re-accumulation will amplify volatility. The direction hasn't changed, but the rhythm is shifting. Brother Ci has finished speaking; you savor it. $BTC $ETH $SOL This round of $BTC rally seems like a price breakout
but is actually the result of three core forces pushing simultaneously.
First, the U.S. Treasury plans to expand long-term Treasury repurchases,
which the market interprets as a marginal improvement in liquidity.
The weakening of the dollar index benefits risk assets collectively.
Second, on August 19, U.S. spot ETFs saw a net inflow of about $517 million,
with BlackRock's IBIT contributing $285 million in spot funds, clearly indicating a capital return.
Third, in the past 24 hours, the entire market liquidated over $3.2 billion,
with a large number of short positions being continuously swept out, creating a typical short squeeze scenario.Fundamental Research Report $TRX / TRON (Established/Litecoin lineage) $3.20
Essentially: TRON ($TRX) comprehensive score 54/100, rating narrative outweighs execution. Breaking down the three layers, the company team has cash reserves, the protocol network shows signs of paid usage, and token value capture has been realized.
Project overview: TRON (token $TRX), an established project in the Litecoin lineage track. Focuses on Tron network and stablecoin settlement. Competes with ETH and EOS. Traditional centralized platforms charge 15-40% commission, with no user data ownership. On-chain trustless transactions have lower fees, and token incentives convert early users into contributors. Average customer spend is $50-500/month, requiring USDC or fiat settlement. Narrative-driven track, usage drops 60-80% in bear markets. Positioned as an end-to-end vertical platform. Product deployment: protocol layer officially operational, on-chain dashboard shows protocol fees accumulating, with evidence of paid usage.

Valuation: circulating market cap $3.00B, FDV $4.20B, P/S 1500.0x, FDV to revenue 2100.0x. Pessimistic view discounts $3.00B by 50-70%, neutral range oscillates, optimistic scenario doubles revenue, burn implemented, enterprise clients onboard, FDV P/S aligns with top projects. Final judgment: fundamentals solid (score 54/100). Token value capture realized (buyback/burn/Gas). Circulating market cap relatively expensive compared to fundamentals, overleveraged expectations, FDV moderate. Three major risks: short-term large unlock dump, protocol revenue long-term zero, token demand relies solely on incentives (if incentives stop, usage collapses). Tracking metrics: weekly protocol fees, burn amount, active address retention, TVL/loan balance, GitHub version releases. The above is logic and judgment based on public information, not investment advice. If core financial indicators deviate more than 30%, conclusions need reassessment.

#FundamentalResearch #Crypto #Research #OKXOrbit🚨 The real Bitcoin bull market might have to wait for this signal to appear.
Many people only focus on $BTC's price in USD.
But what I'm paying more attention to now is:
BTC / Nasdaq Ratio.
This indicator doesn't measure whether Bitcoin has risen,
but rather—
whether Bitcoin can truly "outperform the US stock market."
Since the peak in 2025,
BTC / Nasdaq Ratio once plunged about 64%.
Interestingly, similar sharp crashes also happened in the 2018 and 2022 bear markets.
And now:
BTC / Nasdaq has rebounded about 15% from the bottom.
But don't rush to call a bull market yet.
Because the real key hasn't been broken through:
🎯 BTC / Nasdaq = 3.0
As long as the ratio stays below 3.0,
it means capital still prefers Nasdaq,
and Bitcoin hasn't truly regained market dominance.
But if BTC / Nasdaq officially breaks above 3.0 and holds steady—
things will be completely different.
That means:
Bitcoin starts outperforming tech stocks.
Capital shifts back toward Crypto.
BTC changes from "rising with risk assets" to "leading the market."
The real big move
often doesn't start when everyone begins shouting bull market.
But when—
Bitcoin starts outperforming everyone again.
So from now on, I only watch one number:
3.0.
Breaking it could be the true start of this $BTC rally.👀Current BTC market situation, I still have remaining positions personally, and I plan to prepare two strategies:
(1) STH-RP right-side confirmation: If BTC can hold above the short-term holder real cost price STH-RP, then follow the trend on the right side.
(2) After recently backtesting various data models, the reason I still have 40% of my position unfilled is that I can't let go of the traditional four-year halving cycle in my heart: in past halving cycles, the MVRV trend clearly overlapped. Currently, August 23 to the end of August is an important observation window. If BTC does not show a significant pullback during this period, it indicates that this cycle is deviating from the traditional four-year cycle structure.
(3) Another important reason is that in the traditional four-year cycle, the time from top to bottom is basically one year. By this calculation, early October would be the BTC bottom. However, now that institutions have entered, the cycle rhythm may really be deviating from the traditional four-year cycle structure. By the end of this year, it will be clear whether this cycle has changed.
(Purely personal crypto trading sharing, not investment advice, all bear their own profits and losses) #BTC accelerating its rise, can the funds continue to take over?
The crypto market's surge looks fierce, and everyone's wondering how long this rally can last and whether there will be funds willing to take over later?
BTC rose above $75,000 within 24 hours, triggering massive liquidations, and ETF funds are also flowing back. But this looks more like a typical short squeeze triggered by forced liquidations. After leverage is mechanically pushed up, if the subsequent trading volume and stablecoin liquidity don't keep up, the selling pressure at the top will come down hard, and a sharp shakeout could happen at any time.
The policy environment is indeed strong. Trump just held a meeting at the White House calling on Congress to pass the Clarity Act, clearly defining regulatory boundaries. Coupled with his family's huge investments in the crypto sector, this policy foundation is solid, and the industry has basically said goodbye to the previous risk of administrative crackdowns.
My forecast for the market:
Short term: be cautious about chasing highs
Short squeeze rallies easily overheat sentiment; once volume shrinks, there's a high probability of a pullback to test actual buy orders below.
Medium term: high-level consolidation
The bill is still being tugged in Congress; Wall Street's big money will likely do swing trading with high sells and low buys, making it hard to start a one-sided bull market directly.
Long term: extreme divergence
Assets like BTC with ETFs and policy moats are mainstream; the vast majority of altcoins without real revenue will struggle to keep up even if the market rises and may even become marginalized.
Overall, funds have entered, but sentiment remains cautious. Don't top up right after the liquidation wave; wait for spot buy orders to confirm they can absorb selling pressure before making a move.
DYOR Why is a large bullish candlestick the most likely to mislead people into thinking the trend has reversed?
After going through several bull and bear cycles, I am increasingly reluctant to call a “bull return” based on just one explosive K-line surge.
After the market consolidates for a long time and suddenly breaks out, short sellers’ stop losses and liquidations create forced buying; outside funds see the rise and chase in, pushing the price up faster and faster.
It looks like massive capital is scrambling to accumulate, but in reality, the initial surge may mainly be shorts being forced to cover.
I used to be most prone to chasing highs at such times: seeing BTC break out, ETH and altcoins collectively catching up, I thought a new cycle was confirmed.
But after the short liquidation ends, if subsequent spot funds don’t follow through, the market quickly falls back to the original range.
A true reversal can’t be judged just by how strong the rise is.
You also need to look at three details: whether the price can hold after the breakout, whether volume shrinks on the pullback, and whether real funds like ETFs or on-chain stablecoins continue to flow in. If the price is mainly driven up by contract positions and funding rates, the sharper the rise, the greater the subsequent volatility.
A large bullish candlestick only proves that buyers dominated at one moment, but it can’t prove that people will still be willing to buy in the coming weeks.
Remember: short liquidation can create a breakout, but only sustained spot buying can turn a breakout into a trend.USD1 doesn’t need to beat USDT on every trade. It needs to become the stablecoin traders keep ready.
Aster just listed a SpaceX perp, alongside gold, oil, SanDisk and SK Hynix — all priced and settled in USD1.
And honestly, the bigger story here might not be SpaceX at all.
USDT became hard to replace because traders already keep it on exchanges. Most markets are quoted in it. You don’t buy USDT before every trade — it’s already sitting there, waiting for the next one.
#DailyOrbit Backtesting the past two rounds of easing cycles, the conclusion is straightforward: in terms of elasticity, BTC is just a little brother compared to DOGE; this is the explosive power of high Beta assets in a liquidity flood. First, look at the epic easing round in 2020. Under the pandemic shock, the Fed emergency cut interest rates by 150 basis points and launched unlimited QE. BTC rose from a low of over $5,300 in March to a high of $69,000 in 2021, about 12 times in a year, which is already quite exaggerated, right? But what about DOGE during the same period? It surged from around $0.003 to $0.74, nearly a 200-fold increase. The elasticity of $BTC is almost negligible compared to $DOGE. The liquidity flood first fills the main pool of BTC, and the overflow effect then rushes into small-cap altcoins, with DOGE being the biggest recipient. Now look at the round starting in 2024. The first rate cut in September was 50 basis points, BTC surged from $61,000 to above $100,000, about a 60% increase in half a year; DOGE during the same period rose from around $0.1 to $0.48, nearly 4 times the difference, easily outperforming BTC. The pattern is very clear: during rate cut cycles, BTC is the anchor, determining the market direction, but the elasticity multiple always belongs to high Beta small caps. The principle is simple: can the same incremental funds leverage a $200 billion market cap and a $2 trillion market cap with the same effect? Of course, it must be said that high Beta is a double-edged sword; it’s a rocket when rising but free-falls when falling. DOGE’s history of falling from $0.74 back to $0.05 is still fresh. In the rate cut cycle, bullish on DOGE’s elasticity The more useful question is not whether BTC’s move above $75,000 began as a squeeze, but whether demand can persist after forced buying fades. Nearly $3B in estimated crypto short liquidations explains part of the speed; roughly $706M of combined US spot BTC and ETH ETF inflows on Aug 19, including $517M for BTC, gives the move a firmer spot-flow backdrop.
My read: this can develop into a trend recovery, but confirmation requires volume and stablecoin liquidity to keep pace. Otherwise, profit-taking and rebuilt leverage may turn the breakout into a sharper two-way market. Not advice, just analysis.
#BTCRallyOrSqueezeCurrently, BTC has surged to around 74,800, rising 3.14% in the past 24 hours, with a cumulative increase of over 18% this week. During the Asian session today, it reached a high of 75,785; 75,000 is considered a breakout, but how long this level can hold is uncertain.
The core catalyst remains the U.S. Treasury. On August 19, it announced raising the single purchase limit for long-term Treasury buybacks to at least $4 billion. The 30-year Treasury yield fell from 5.34%, the dollar weakened, and risk assets collectively rallied. VanEck's research director said this rally is unrelated to the CLARITY Act; it’s purely the market repricing fiscal and dollar credit—the Treasury is effectively easing, money is losing value, and Bitcoin is rising.
Short sellers were collectively liquidated. Over the past two days, short liquidations exceeded $2.7 billion, setting a record. Shorts were forced to cover, causing a stampede-like surge.
ETFs are also cooperating; since August, spot Bitcoin ETFs have seen a cumulative net inflow of about $1.6 billion, with a single-day net inflow of $517 million on August 20. Institutions are continuously accumulating.
Technically, Ali Charts points out a strong support zone established between $61,849 and $63,111, with over 2 million BTC changing hands there. However, funding rates have hit a 20-month high; the last time similar levels appeared was in January 2025, when BTC peaked near 102,000. Short-term overbought signals are evident.
This wave is a resonance of macro factors, capital flow, and sentiment, but chasing the high is not cost-effective. Let’s first see if 75,000 can truly hold before making further moves. BTC suddenly surged back to $70,000, did Trump give it another push?
This wave of Bitcoin suddenly rushing from over $60,000 all the way back to $70,000 is definitely not just a simple technical rebound.
On August 19, Trump met with several crypto industry executives at the White House and publicly urged Congress to quickly advance the CLARITY Act.
The signal is very clear: the U.S. is not trying to drive crypto out, but is rushing to establish a regulatory framework.
But I think the real ignition was the liquidity expectation.
The U.S. Treasury expanded long-term Treasury repurchases, Treasury yields fell, and the market's liquidity expectations suddenly eased. At the same time, BTC broke through a key level, shorts started to liquidate continuously, and ETF funds flowed back in.
Policy expectations + liquidity improvement + short squeeze + ETF funds, a few sparks collided, making it hard for BTC not to rally. $BTC $ETH
But here I still want to remind you:
$70,000 is not the end, nor a reason to blindly chase the rally.
What really matters is whether BTC can hold above $70,000 and turn this level from resistance into support.
If it can hold, the story ahead may just be beginning.
If it can't hold, this might just be a beautiful "bull trap."
Personally, I’m more focused on the trading volume and capital flow in the next few days.
Breaking through is not hard; holding the level is the real skill. #BTC加速拉升，资金还能继续接力吗？ #Anthropic拟8月底公开IPO文件，募资或追平SpaceX BTC is rising, but altcoins are still stuck in place; this is not the time for you to rush to chase the highs. Have you noticed that every time BTC pumps, the group chat starts shouting "altcoin season is here," but very few actually make money? Today BTC touched 74.7K, and ETH also returned to around 2358, making the market look quite lively. But if you zoom out a bit and look at BEAT, BICO, KAITO, LAB, SNDK, these guys are still weak, like sleepy kittens, unable to support any decent rebound. The essence of this rebound is actually an improvement in liquidity expectations, with funds willing to give BTC and ETH a smile. But note, this is a solo dance of the top assets, not a party for the whole market. A true altcoin season requires money flowing out from the big coins into those small-cap tokens, pushing them to form higher lows and increasing trading volume. None of these conditions are met right now. My own observation is that the market sentiment is particularly delicate. On one side, FOMO is quietly rising, making people itchy to buy as BTC rises; on the other side, those trapped in the last cycle are still trying to break even and dare not add positions. This indecisive state is the easiest to lead to wrong decisions—like rushing in halfway through the rebound to catch the falling knife. The strength divergence among sectors is very clear. BTC and ETH are like the stable top students in class, while those weak altcoins are struggling around the passing line. Instead of betting on their sudden breakout, it's better to first clearly see: the capitalView on the current Bitcoin market
Bitcoin has broken through $74,000, and market sentiment is high, but it is not advisable to chase the price at this level.
The driving factors behind this round of rally are relatively clear: on the macro level, the U.S. Treasury's increased repurchase signals liquidity easing; on the policy level, the White House has expressed a positive stance on cryptocurrency legislation.
The resonance of these two factors has triggered this rapid surge. However, a closer look at the market's internal structure reveals obvious concerns. Derivatives trading volume far exceeds spot volume, indicating that the current market is mainly driven by leveraged funds rather than substantial buying support. On-chain data also shows that some large whale addresses have been continuously withdrawing during the rise, with smart money taking the opportunity to reduce positions.
From a risk-reward perspective, going long at the current price has limited upside and objective downside risk; going short is against the trend and also faces short squeeze risk. Comparing the two, waiting and watching is the most reasonable choice.
It is recommended to remain patient and wait for the price to pull back to confirm support or for spot volume to break through previous highs before making decisions. The market never lacks opportunities; what it lacks are investors with sufficient capital and clear judgment when opportunities arise. Watching $74,000 is more important than acting.Hook

#DailyOrbit #黄金重回4500美元，机构分歧加剧
Spot gold has strongly returned to the historic high of 4500 USD, but as gold prices peak, the divergence between top Wall Street institutions has reached its highest point in recent years.
At this historic threshold, bullish and bearish logics clash intensely:
Bullish logic: De-dollarization and sovereign risk consensus. Global central banks continue to increase gold reserves, combined with great power competition and the need for diversified asset allocation, gold has become the strongest hard currency hedge against sovereign credit dilution. The narrative of decentralized hard assets remains unshakable.
Bearish logic: High real interest rates and overextended high valuations. Currently, long-term US Treasury yields remain high, making the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding gold extremely high; if the Federal Reserve cuts rates less than expected, the crowded long positions at high levels are prone to a cascade of liquidations.
Asset attribute reconstruction: Gold today is not only a safe-haven tool but is also priced by global sovereign funds as a "call option" against "debt crises and fiat currency depreciation."
At this historic 4500 USD juncture, do you firmly stand with the central banks buying into the bullish case, or with the valuation camp cautious of a potential liquidation?
$XAU $XAUT $GLD #黄金 #现货黄金 #宏观经济 #避险资产 #抗通胀$BTC breaks through 74,000, and the signals revealed by this market are completely different from before
Just after refreshing the K-line, BTC has already touched above 74,300, with a 24-hour amplitude close to 15%, reaching a high near 74,880. A few days ago, the market was still debating whether 70,000 was a phase top, but now it is directly aiming for 75,000. Such a slope is indeed rare in this year's market
The driving logic behind this wave is fundamentally different from previous rallies. In the past, it was mostly news pulses—shouting for a rise for two days, then slowly retreating. But this time, it is a resonance of multiple structural positives: on one hand, the Federal Reserve's overnight reverse repurchase tool usage fell below 300 billion, meaning liquidity is substantially migrating towards risk assets; on the other hand, institutions like BlackRock have continuously increased their positions, and not just small-scale tests, but net purchases worth hundreds of millions of dollars in a single day. More importantly, on-chain data shows that long-term holder addresses have increased their holdings by more than 50,000 BTC in the past week, which cannot be explained by short-term hot money
The shorts have been thoroughly squeezed this round. Nearly 4 billion USD worth of liquidations occurred across the network in the past 24 hours, with shorts accounting for over 80%. But unlike previous contract-driven rallies, the perpetual contract funding rate has not surged simultaneously, indicating that derivative leverage is not overheated. The main driver of the price rise seems to be spot buying—the continuous inflow of ETFs and active accumulation by whales. This structure is usually more stable than rallies driven by contract leverage
Next, it depends on whether the supply-dense zone between 74,300 and 74,800 can successfully convert into support. #财报观察员：泡泡玛特增长换挡，多IP能否接力？ @币圈超短王马大帅 $BTC broke through 75,000, $ETH recovered 2300, and the whole network is saying "the bull market is back." Hold on, don't rush to chase yet. First, let's see what this surge is about: • On Wednesday, $2.75 billion worth of shorts were wiped out — this is a historic short squeeze, not a value revaluation; • BTC ETF net inflow was $517 million, a 3.5-month high — institutions are buying, but they're buying the "bullish narrative," not "fundamental improvement"; • The catalysts are three things: Treasury expanding bond buybacks, SEC releasing crypto proposals, and Trump meeting a room full of crypto CEOs at the White House. All are "policy appetite," none are "demand fundamentals." Even more painful signals are right in front of us: BTC's RSI has hit 76, entering the overbought zone, the fear and greed index is 62 heading straight into greed territory, and funding rates are high — longs are crowded. Even MEXC's chief analyst openly said: this rally is "premature," the Treasury is just releasing pressure valves, but crypto is pricing it as a "regime change." Makes sense. My view is straightforward: this looks more like a policy-driven retaliatory rebound, not a new main upward wave. Don't be the bag holder in the greed zone, don't mistake a "short squeeze" for a "trend reversal." Wait for two signals: one, whether the price can hold key support without falling back; two, whether spot ETF inflows can sustain (not just a one-day spike). Once confirmed, then it's not too late to talk about a bull market. The bull market won't miss a few hours. FOMO is the truly fatal position risk in this cycle.#BTC accelerating its rally, can the funds continue to take over?
Why is it rising so sharply? Three factors have combined.
At that White House meeting, Trump announced crypto-friendly policies, shifting the US government from "regulatory crackdown" to "reserve buyer." This narrative shift is the strongest underlying logic behind this rally. Shorts have been crushed, with nearly 3 billion liquidated in the past 24 hours, shorts making up the vast majority. During the consolidation period, shorts added positions aggressively, and all the negative news was wiped out in one blow.
ETF funds are also following suit. On August 19, BTC and ETH spot ETFs had a combined net inflow of 706 million, with BTC accounting for 517 million and ETH 189 million. Institutions are buying, and they are buying continuously.
Now the question is, can 75,000 hold?
If this is a short squeeze driven by short covering, the bounce will be quick but also retreat quickly. If ETF and spot buying can continue, this wave marks the start of a trend up. Next, watch two things: whether trading volume can continue to expand, and whether stablecoin liquidity can keep up. With volume comes sustainability; without volume, it’s just a pulse.
If the 73,000 to 75,000 range can hold sideways, the next hurdle is 80,000. If it can’t hold, a pullback to 70,000 is also normal.
What do you think?
$BTC $ETH $SPCX has become the core of this round of smart money rotation.
A wallet with stable profits over 30 days holds about 401.6k USD in long positions of SPCX, with SPCX attribution around +147.6k USD; daily, weekly, and monthly portfolio returns are all positive, and currently there are no pending orders or recent chasing noise.
In contrast, $MSFT still has about 193k USD in long positions, but its recent daily and weekly performance is weaker, with 30d MSFT attribution around +26.2k USD.
Therefore, Tideline rotates an equal 0.65 position from MSFT to SPCX, with both gross and net unchanged. This is not leveraging, but reallocating the risk budget to a stronger signal. Latest position plan: Long $XMR 0.75 (about 675 USD), long $SPCX 0.65 (about 585 USD), short $GRAM 0.75 (about 675 USD), gross 2.15, net +0.65. Rebalancing record: exited $MSFT 0.65, switched to $SPCX 0.65, total risk unchanged. Rebalancing rationale: SPCX comes from the current long position of about 401.6k USD, with a 30-day attribution of about +147.6k USD; daily, weekly, and monthly portfolio performances are all positive; MSFT is still profitable but has shown weaker recent performance and attribution. Key interpretation: $XMR retains about 681.1k USD long position; $GRAM retains about 1.418m USD short position; original directions remain intact. Next steps: monitor whether SPCX maintains a long position above 300k USD, XMR maintains a long position above 600k USD, GRAM maintains a short position above 1.1m USD, and check phased rebalancing execution. At this position, I am actually more bearish on $SPCX
Previously, $SPCX quickly rebounded from around $105, once returning above $140, but at this point, I feel the cost-performance ratio has started to decline. Although the stock price is still some distance from the historical high of $225, the current valuation remains very high.
Another issue is the supply of shares. Around August 20, about 319 million shares will be unlocked, and more early shareholders' shares will gradually enter the market afterward, which will continuously test the market's absorption capacity.
I still recognize the long-term story of SpaceX, but stocks need to be judged by their price.
At the current level of $133, I would not chase; in the short term, I am more bearish and would rather wait for it to return to a more comfortable level before considering.The recent market trend of $DOGE superficially shows that altcoins and Dogecoin have both risen, but the core driver is still Bitcoin.
When BTC moves, market risk appetite returns. It's not just a simple rise in one candlestick; it's signaling to capital that mainstream assets have buyers, and shorts are starting to cover. Thus, capital spills over from BTC to ETH, then spreads to higher volatility coins, with DOGE naturally becoming one of the most sentiment-sensitive.
Dogecoin has performed well in this rally, but I don't think it suddenly gained strong fundamentals. It's more that the market has entered a phase willing to pay for high volatility, high emotion, and high propagation. BTC stabilizes, and DOGE gets room to perform; once BTC weakens, DOGE usually falls faster than the broader market.
So don't view DOGE's rise as a standalone new cycle signal. It's more like a mirror of sentiment: when everyone starts chasing Dogecoin, it means the market is no longer satisfied with earning certainty but is seeking higher odds.
The market can be optimistic, but don't get carried away with the pace. What really matters to watch is whether Bitcoin can hold steady and whether capital continues to flow from BTC to a broader range of altcoins $BTC $DOGE
(This is only a personal market analysis and does not constitute investment advice)#美财政部扩大长债回购，30年美债高位回落
"US Treasury Doubles Long-Term Debt Buybacks, $40 Trillion Debt Rolled Over"
Just now! The yield on the US 30-year Treasury bond surged past 5.33%, hitting a 19-year high. The US Treasury urgently slammed the table, doubling the buyback cap for long-term bonds from $2 billion to $4 billion per session for maturities between 10 and 30 years.
The moment the news broke, the 30-year Treasury yield plunged 10 basis points to 5.18%, triggering a wave of stop-losses among heavy short positions on the market.
Looking under the Treasury's hood, there is no extra cash on hand; the real money for buying back long-term bonds comes entirely from aggressively issuing short-term Treasury bills with maturities under one year.
This is a classic Treasury maneuver to reverse the situation. They break down high-interest long-term debt into short-term debt to buy some breathing room. The total US debt of $40 trillion remains unchanged, with the fiscal deficit soaring to $432.3 billion in July alone, and annual debt interest payments consuming a full $1.2 trillion.
Short-term debt interest keeps compounding daily. Once short-term financing costs are locked in by high rates, this liquidity juggling act of robbing Peter to pay Paul could at any time push the more dangerous US debt sell-off pressure back onto the table. $BTC In this round of crypto market rebound, everyone has seen a core fact: Bitcoin breaking above 70,000 is a sign of sentiment recovery, while Ethereum's nearly 20% surge is the real main driver of this rally. With the same macro environment and capital inflows, ETH's gains directly crushed BTC, surging violently from the 1900 mark to break through 2200 and 2300, marking the strongest single-day rebound in nearly two months. Many retail investors only understand the idea of "the market rising, the altcoins following the rise," but they don't grasp the underlying core logic behind ETH's independent catch-up this round. As a trader who has weathered multiple bull and bear cycles, today I will thoroughly analyze it all at once: Ethereum's recent surge is not just following the crowd, but the result of multiple positive factors resonating with certainty and precise capital positioning. 1. Macro Liquidity Easing: The Biggest Dividends for Risk Assets Landing The root cause of this rally is the complete marginal easing of US dollar liquidity. The U.S. Treasury has officially taken a major move: the scale of long-term Treasury repurchases has doubled, directly lowering long-term U.S. Treasury yields. The logic for the crypto market is very simple: falling interest rates → valuations of non-yielding risk assets recover→ capital flowing out of safe-haven assets → into cryptocurrencies, gold, and other highly elastic assets. Ethereum's inherent nature is that it is a highly elastic risk asset. BTC leans toward "digital gold, safe-haven storage," with stable trends but slow rebounds; ETH leans toward "tech growth and ecosystem targets." In a relaxed liquidity environment, its elasticity, explosiveness, and gains naturally outpace Bitcoin. This is the macro underlying logic behind ETH outperforming BTC this round. 2. Epic Bear Stampede: ETH Short Squeeze Far Exceeds B🔥 What happened? From August 19 to 21, the crypto market experienced the most intense short squeeze of 2026: • $BTC surged from $68,900 to a high of $75,770, hitting a nearly two-month peak • $ETH simultaneously rose above $2,340, with a single-day gain approaching 20% • Over $3.3 billion liquidated across the network, with short liquidations exceeding $3 billion, marking the largest single-day short liquidation since 2021 More than 183,000 traders were wiped out, with short positions littering the battlefield. --- 💥 Who ignited this fire? Three forces resonated, pressing shorts to the ground: 1. White House major signal Trump met with crypto industry executives, stating the government has "completely ended the war on cryptocurrency," revealing discussions about accumulating a "substantial amount" of Bitcoin. 2. Treasury's liquidity gift The U.S. Treasury announced doubling the scale of long-term Treasury repurchase operations, directly lowering long-end yields and releasing liquidity. 3. $3 billion short squeeze Shorts were forcibly liquidated → forced to buy back → prices rose again → more shorts liquidated, creating a death spiral. --- 🤔 After the surge, will a crash come? Let's pour some cold water first: The essence of this surge is a short squeeze (mechanical rebound), not a fundamental reversal. After the $3 billion short positions were liquidated, the passive buying driving the price increase will naturally dry up. ⚠️ Current warning signals • Technical indicators overheating: Bitcoin RSI has entered the overbought zone (80.3) $BTC, $ETH Accelerate Upward: Who Is Building the Support?
Behind the accelerated rise, the real support being built is actually a handoff between two forces: first, the "short squeeze" rocket fuel ignited the rally; now whether it can hold depends on whether the "institutions and spot funds" can steadily take the baton.
⛽ Phase One: Short Squeeze Provides the Explosive Power
The most direct driver of this surge is an epic "short squeeze." Before the breakout, the market consolidated around $60,000 for a long time, with massive leveraged short positions accumulated in the derivatives market. Once the price broke through the key liquidation point upward, shorts were forced to cover (buy), triggering a chain reaction and generating huge short-term buying pressure. Analysts pointed out that over $3 billion worth of short positions were liquidated in this rebound, providing the "fuel" for the rise.
But this force is one-time only. When the "fuel" runs out, for the rally to continue, it must be taken over by real spot buying.
🏗️ Phase Two: Institutions and Positive Factors Build Sustainable Support
Now, the core of building medium- to long-term support lies in the following "structural forces" gaining momentum:
· Institutional capital positioning in advance: Before the surge, on-chain and OTC data already showed that institutions with listed company backgrounds and "ancient whales" were aggressively bottom-fishing around $60,000, laying the spot position foundation for the rebound.
· Macro liquidity improvement: The U.S. Treasury expanded long-term bond repos, pushing down long-end yields, improving overall risk appetite, and providing liquidity support for crypto assets.
· Regulatory expectations becoming clearer: The U.S. SEC released a new regulatory framework, the White House held a crypto summit and called for advancing the "CLARITY Act," policy tailwinds boosted market confidence, attracting incremental funds to reassess crypto assets.
📊 The Critical "Validation Window"
Currently, the market is at a crucial validation window: after the short squeeze buying fades, whether real spot demand, $ETF inflows, and trading volume can keep pace. The mainstream view now is to watch if $BTC can hold the 71,000 area as support and if $ETH can defend the $2,300 level.
In summary, the short squeeze ignited the first fire, but what can keep the flames burning are the "firewood" of institutional capital, macro environment, and policy expectations. The key to the rally’s sustainability lies in whether this firewood can be continuously added.After the latest financial report of 泡泡玛特
I think the market is no longer really concerned about whether Labubu can still sell, but rather who will take over after Labubu.
In the first half of 2026, the company's revenue reached approximately ¥17.17 billion RMB, a year-on-year increase of 23.8%, and net profit was about ¥5.04 billion RMB, a year-on-year increase of about 10%. The numbers are still growing, but compared to the explosive period of Labubu in the past, the growth rate has clearly slowed down, and overseas revenue has declined.
The good news is that 泡泡玛特 is also actively reducing its reliance on a single IP.
The new Twinkle Twinkle is growing rapidly and currently contributes about 15% of revenue. The company also announced plans for a share buyback of ¥2 billion to ¥5 billion RMB in the future.
So I think this financial report is not bad; it feels more like entering the next stage.
Previously, the market bought into Labubu's explosion; now the market wants to see if 泡泡玛特 can truly become a company that continuously creates global IPs. If the second and third major IPs can connect, the valuation logic will have a chance to reopen.
#财报观察员：泡泡玛特增长换挡，多IP能否接力？ $POPMART $SNDK $OKB #财报观察员：泡泡玛特增长换挡，多IP能否接力？ \
#财报观察员：Xiaomi is about to release its earnings report, which business line do you favor more?
Pengcheng is a line I am willing to give some patience to, but today's surge does not mean it has already won.
In the conference call, Lu Weibing said that Pengcheng's user base overlaps with SU7/YU7 by only 10%+, representing a new price segment and incremental market, launched in September with orders exceeding expectations. This is real incremental growth, not internal cannibalization.
The risk lies in: the extended-range market declined by 13% year-on-year over six months, with 85 models competing for the same batch of customers. Pengcheng needs to fill a 550,000 target gap, requiring an average of 45,000 units per month, heavily relying on its volume growth.
In the short term, I admit I was wrong; in the medium term, I still watch to see if it can truly narrow losses. Until verified, I will not turn bullish.
$XIAOMI White House Summit: Trump Says He Discussed Buying BTC
This might also be one of the most noteworthy pieces of news behind this sudden acceleration of BTC.
On August 19, Trump held a meeting at the White House with executives from the crypto industry and financial institutions, including representatives from Coinbase, Ripple, Nasdaq, as well as officials from the SEC and CFTC.
Trump reiterated that the U.S. must maintain its leading position in the Bitcoin and Crypto space, while pushing forward the CLARITY Act.
What the market is more focused on is that Trump also mentioned the possibility of the U.S. government further expanding its Bitcoin holdings. The U.S. has already established a strategic Bitcoin reserve, mainly from government-held BTC, and an executive order allows the Treasury and Commerce Departments to explore additional BTC acquisition methods "without increasing taxpayer costs."
The real significance of this lies in expectations.
Previously, the market debated whether the U.S. would ban Bitcoin; now the discussion has shifted to whether the U.S. government will continue to increase its Bitcoin reserves.
If in the future the approach moves from "seizing assets to form reserves" to actively increasing BTC holdings, the U.S. government's stance on Bitcoin will change again.
This is also why when BTC breaks through $70,000 these days, the capital reacts so quickly.

BTC just ripped 7.79% to $74,782, but I’m not convinced this is a full-blown crypto risk-on move yet.
ETH is up 4.56% and SOL 5.58% — solid gains, but both are still noticeably behind BTC.
To me, this looks more like a BTC-led positioning reset than broad speculative rotation.
For now, BTC remains the cleanest expression of the market while macro uncertainty stays elevated.

🔥 Market Barometer | August 21
Three hot topics today point to the same theme: capital is simultaneously seeking new pricing anchors in three different tracks—whether Bitcoin's short squeeze can turn into a bull market, whether Anthropic's trillion-dollar valuation can sustain the AI bubble, and whether Pop Mart's IP iteration can transcend cycles.
₿ BTC Accelerates Rally: $3.3 Billion Shorts Vaporized, But Short Squeeze Momentum Is Fading
Bitcoin rose over 14% in two days, breaking $73,000. Over $3 billion in leveraged positions were liquidated in the past 24 hours.
However, market data shows new leveraged long funds have not yet entered on a large scale. This rally is still mainly driven by short covering; perpetual futures open interest has not significantly rebounded. Whether Bitcoin can continue higher increasingly depends on spot buying and ETF inflows taking over. On the 19th, the US Bitcoin spot ETF had a single-day net inflow of $517 million, but ETF investors’ average holding cost is about $82,465, still overall at a loss. After the short squeeze, the real test is just beginning.
🤖 Anthropic Plans to File IPO Documents by End of August: Fundraising May Surpass SpaceX, Valuation Targets $1.5-2 Trillion
Insiders reveal Anthropic expects to publicly submit IPO documents as early as the end of August, with fundraising possibly matching or exceeding SpaceX’s record $7.5-8.62 billion, targeting a valuation of $1.5-2 trillion.
In May this year, Anthropic completed $65 billion financing, valued at $965 billion, surpassing OpenAI’s $852 billion. By the end of July, annualized revenue exceeded $65 billion.
Founded only five years ago, aiming for the largest IPO in history. When the secondary market prices it at $2 trillion, the market is betting not on current profits but on AI’s complete restructuring of the enterprise market.
🎨 Pop Mart Half-Year Report: LABUBU Still First, Star People Soar 580% to Take Over
On August 20, Pop Mart released its 2026 half-year report: revenue 17.17 billion yuan, up 23.8% year-on-year; adjusted net profit 5.16 billion yuan, up 9.5%; gross margin 69.7%. But revenue was below market estimate of 19.98 billion yuan.
IP landscape drastically reshaped. THE MONSTERS series featuring LABUBU generated 4.45 billion yuan, still first; new IP "Star People" revenue 2.65 billion yuan, soaring 580.6% year-on-year, becoming the second largest IP. Plush product line has become the largest growth engine, revenue 9.82 billion yuan, accounting for 57.2%. The board announced a first buyback plan of 2 to 5 billion yuan. LABUBU slows down, Star People takes over—the lifecycle management of IP is undergoing its toughest test.
💎 Summary
Three events sketch the same picture: after Bitcoin’s $3.3 billion short squeeze, whether it can attract real spot buying is key; CORE contract market’s total liquidation is less than $30,000 all day with frequent directional switches, typical low liquidity invalid market with no reference value; Anthropic’s $2 trillion valuation challenges the largest IPO ever, redefining the limits of the AI bubble; Pop Mart’s LABUBU slows while Star People surges 580%, IP succession is ongoing. Capital is seeking direction simultaneously in three tracks—when the short squeeze fades, IPO volume peaks, and IP shifts gears, who will be the true successor? #BTC加速拉升，资金还能继续接力吗？

This wave of BTC's violent surge
A large part of the momentum comes from short squeeze covering, combined with ETF capital inflows, which directly ignited sentiment.
The most critical question now: after the short squeeze finishes, can new buying support hold the high-level chips?
$BTC has directly rushed to a strong resistance zone in the short term; after continuous sharp rallies, indicators have entered overbought territory, and a wick pullback could occur at any time.
Optimistic scenario: if it can hold above 74000, and ETFs continue to see capital inflows, there is a chance to test the 78000‑79000 resistance level.
Risk point: if incremental funds can't keep up and the buying from previous short squeeze exhaustion runs out, a quick pullback to the 68000‑70000 support zone is very likely.
Now is not the time to chase highs for profits; high-level volatility will amplify, so profits should be taken in batches, and avoid holding through back-and-forth wicks.
$ETH's rebound elasticity this round is stronger than BTC's; the ETH/BTC ratio is rising, funds are clearly rotating into Ethereum, and ETFs are also seeing large inflows.
But it’s important to distinguish: part of this is driven by overall market sentiment, and part is catalyzed by its own regulatory benefits.
Bullish logic: as long as the key support at 2200 holds, there is still room to rise, and it will continue to follow BTC in an elastic market.
Risk logic: if BTC experiences a pullback, ETH's retracement is often larger than BTC's. If BTC oscillates at high levels without continuous capital rotation, Ethereum is likely to show relative weakness.The $ETH move is bigger than the Hyperliquid narrative. Three forces are coming together: 1️⃣ Ethereum had been heavily discounted, with traders questioning whether competitors could take its market share. 2️⃣ The DEX + stablecoin narrative is strengthening. If decentralized markets and stablecoins become more central to the U.S. crypto framework, Ethereum’s infrastructure could benefit—including ecosystems built around its technology. 3️⃣ Supply dynamics matter. Lower potential selling pressureMainstream coins are all up in the last 24 hours with 12 fully in the green, averaging +8.59%. 79% of the entire market is rising, with $XRP +20% and $ADA +15% leading the gains. This is a broad rally, not a single-point event. Many attribute the cause to the midterm elections, but this needs clarification: the election is on November 3, more than two months away, and it will determine whether the CLARITY Act can ultimately be implemented. That is a variable for November, not the reason for this August rally. The real triggers are threefold: the Treasury announced that long-term bond buybacks will double from $2 billion each time to at least $4 billion, effective September 9, causing long-term yields to drop; the White House held a crypto meeting; and the government is pushing Congress to pass the CLARITY Act. The news is just the matchstick; what really pushed prices up were the shorts. On August 19, the entire market liquidated $2.99 billion, 91.6% of which were short positions. My own contract data confirms this: despite the large price increase, open interest barely rose and funding rates dropped to nearly zero. The driving force was forced short covering, not new long entries. After the shorts have burned out, it remains to be seen if real money will take over. Who is fueling this surge in Bitcoin?
In the past 24 hours, the crypto market seemed ignited. Bitcoin surged from around 64,000 directly through 70,000, Ethereum approached 2,300, rising nearly 19% in 24 hours. 180,000 people were liquidated, with $3.2 billion in positions wiped out in one wave.
Who is lighting the fire? It's not a single positive factor, but three things combined resonating together.
On August 19, it was announced that the scale of 10 to 30-year Treasury buybacks would double, causing the 30-year US Treasury yield to plunge sharply from 5.337% to around 5.19%, while gold soared $125 in a single day. Bitcoin reacted even faster, jumping from 64,000 directly to 70,000. The signal conveyed is crucial — there is an implicit ceiling on long-term rates, the government will intervene to support, liquidity expectations improve, and Bitcoin is the most sensitive to this.
Trump publicly called out trades. The White House met with executives from Coinbase, Kraken, and other crypto companies, urging Congress to pass the CLARITY Act. The top-level stance is clearly shifting. The head of research at Standard Chartered put it bluntly: increased Treasury support at the back end is exactly the signal Bitcoin wants to see, maintaining the year-end target of 100,000 USD.
Short positions accumulated over half a year were wiped out in one go. Bitcoin had been hovering around 60,000 for the past six months, with a large buildup of shorts. After breaking through key resistance, a short squeeze spiral started — the more it rose, the more it flattened; the more it flattened, the more it rose. $1.44 billion in shorts were liquidated within an hour.
The combination of these three factors validates a transmission chain: fiscal policy signals → decline in long-term rates → risk asset revaluation → resonance between crypto spot and derivatives.$BTC breaks through 75,000, with $3 billion shorts liquidated. Is this a short squeeze rebound or a trend reversal? Over the past six weeks, Bitcoin has been consolidating between 62,000 and 66,900. Market sentiment was frozen cold, with the fear index dropping to rock bottom. Everyone was shorting. The perpetual contract funding rate remained negative for a long time, and shorts pushed leverage to the extreme. Then— On the evening of August 19, BTC surged straight up from 64,000, reaching a high of 75,700 today. In 24 hours, $3.3 billion was liquidated, with shorts accounting for $3.07 billion. Nearly 200,000 people were wiped out in one wave. This is the largest liquidation wave since 2021. Then everyone asked the same question: Can this rally continue? Will there be a mess after the short squeeze? My judgment is— The short squeeze is the gunpowder, policy is the fuse, and ETFs are the fuel. A short squeeze alone cannot sustain a trend. But with the resonance of all three, this rally might last longer than most people imagine. Three signals, judge for yourself. Signal one: ETF net inflows for three consecutive days, $517 million in a single day on August 19 This is not short-term speculative capital. On August 19, the US Bitcoin spot ETF had a single-day net inflow of $517 million, the highest single-day record since May 4. Net inflows for three consecutive days. BlackRock IBIT attracted $285 million in a single day. Institutions are building positions with real money. Signal two: White House crypto meeting + Treasury expands bond repurchase On August 19, Trump met with Coinbase, Ri at the White House Roosevelt Room #WhiteHouseSummit: Trump says he discussed buying BTC
The White House held a summit, and Trump publicly said, "We talked about buying Bitcoin."
As soon as he said that, Bitcoin surged again, now at 74,000.
These two characters used to be considered "financial terrorists," but now the president himself says he wants it as a reserve asset.
This is the underlying tone of this market cycle—there's no narrative of a peak yet.
But don't get too excited; he only said they "discussed it."
Between "discussing" and "actually spending real money to buy," there's Congress, budgets, and a lot of back-and-forth.
On the institutional side, ETFs are seriously picking up, with three consecutive days of net inflows.
So my judgment is that Trump's words will keep fueling market imagination, but whether Bitcoin can hold its ground depends on institutions voting with real money.
$BTC Scene asking about the nature of BTC's rebound: Altcoins have not yet been confirmed. Why can't altcoins follow even though the market is rising? BTC is continuing its rebound to about $74,700, and ETH to about $2,358, reflecting improved liquidity expectations in the price. However, even within the same upward trend, the weak altcoin group remains in a vulnerable position. BEAT, BICO, KAITO, LAB, SNDK, etc., need stronger demand signals to confirm their rebound. The key question is whether this movement is a simple rebound or the beginning of a recovery phase spreading across the entire asset class. Currently, the price structure confirms the rise of BTC and ETH, but recovery across altcoins as a whole has not been confirmed. What the market is actually reflecting is not a "broad altcoin rally" but rather a "difference in expectations for the top liquidity assets, BTC and ETH." In other words, current prices are closer to a selective response to improved liquidity conditions rather than a recovery in risk appetite. From the perspective of event repricing, the market has already factored in liquidity【For this ETH market cycle, I only focus on one signal】Many people watch ETH's daily price changes by a few points but overlook that the real factor influencing the trend is capital flow. Recently, ETH has been oscillating repeatedly at high levels, and market divergence is growing. However, it is precisely during such phases that the next wave's direction is most likely decided. My observation is that as long as mainstream capital does not show obvious outflows, the oscillation looks more like a chip exchange rather than a trend ending. Many people like to chase highs and sell lows, ending up turning profits into losses; truly stable traders plan ahead and execute according to rhythm. ETH is not just a coin but an important foundation for many public chain ecosystems and DeFi applications, so every time the market warms up, it usually regains attention. My strategy remains to control position size, wait patiently, and not let emotions dictate trades. There is no 100% certain market in crypto, but you can increase your probability of being right. Do you think ETH will break new highs next or continue to consolidate?

The driving factors in order are: a strong market and ETH establishing a risk appetite base; on August 19, Ethena and FalconX launched a $1 billion institutional credit facility to expand USDe institutional pathways; and on August 17, the yield-generating asset locked staking profit-sharing mechanism started, locking in buying expectations.
The bullish scenario triggers if the price holds within the 0.115 to 0.118 range and volume increases on the 1-hour chart to stop the decline. Coupled with an ETH-driven ecosystem revaluation, the first upward target is 0.13 to 0.135, with a mid-term logical target of $0.5 to $1. Considering the team and institutions have about 5 billion tokens (33% of total) locked until September 2026, there is no large-scale unlocking pressure in the short term.
The bearish scenario triggers if market volatility causes Delta-neutral hedging and liquidation risks, leading to risk-off capital outflows. If the price fails to hold above the 0.112 floating profit protection level, the large holders controlling 55% to 60% may cash out in the short term, testing liquidity downward.
The invalidation signal is a price break below the 0.108 stop-loss line. Once broken, it indicates that the bullish logic of institutional credit facilities and yield transformation is completely offset by market risk, and the long position scenario fails.
In the next 7 days, focus on confirming the pullback within the 0.115 to 0.118 range, as well as the holding changes and capital flows of the top 10 addresses.
#OpenAI二季度营收67亿美元，亏损扩大 #海力士回购落地，三星股东回报待确认I believe everyone has been shocked by the recent Bitcoin $BTC rally. In just three days, BTC surged 13,000 points, climbing from 62,800 straight up to 75,800. This wave of increase can be described as quite violent. However, the stronger the rally, the more we need to stay calm. The 75,800 level has already reached a strong resistance zone. Where is the short-term rebound peak for Bitcoin in this round? First, we need to understand that this big surge was not driven by a massive influx of new funds into the market, but mainly by three combined forces: short squeeze, liquidity release from U.S. Treasury repos, and regulatory benefits. In the past 24 hours, the total liquidations across the network reached as high as 3.3 billion USD, with short liquidations close to 3 billion. Simply put, this rally was largely forced by a short squeeze. Once the shorts are basically cleared out, the subsequent buying power will significantly weaken. From a technical perspective, the four-hour chart already shows a clear volume-price divergence, and a short-term correction may occur. The 75,800 level is the weekly descending trendline and also the upper edge of a historical dense chip area. Fibonacci levels, weekly resistance, and historical trapped chips—all three pressures converge here. Therefore, my judgment is that the short-term rebound peak in this round will most likely be near 75,800. Looking at funds and sentiment, the market's long sentiment is already clearly overheated. The funding rate has surged to the highest level in 20 months. The last time this happened was in January 2025, when BTC was at a phase top The real test of Pop Mart's financial report is not whether Labubu is still popular, but whether it can transform from a "hit product company" into an "IP factory." Revenue was still growing in the first half of the year, but the growth rate has clearly shifted gears, and there is pressure overseas as well. THE MONSTERS, which includes Labubu, has seen a decline in its share, while new IPs like Twinkle Twinkle are rising quickly. The management has also proposed a buyback plan. The market actually understands this: the company no longer wants everyone to focus solely on one ugly-cute doll. I think this step is crucial. The hardest part of trendy toys is not just having one hit, but continuously creating new characters, new scenes, and new reasons for consumption after the hit. A single IP going viral brings valuation premiums but also fatigue; a relay of multiple IPs is the real business moat. But having multiple IPs is not just about displaying more characters. It must prove that users don’t just love Labubu, but are willing to pay long-term for Pop Mart’s worldview. This is the real issue after the growth shift. #财报观察员：泡泡玛特增长换挡，多IP能否接力？ Bitcoin continues to rise slowly, but leverage levels remain surprisingly subdued.
Open interest has steadily declined from about 485k to around 475k, while BTC price is pushing higher.
Both futures CVD and spot CVD completed major moves during the initial pump but have since stabilized.
The funding rate remains neutral and flat at 0.0006.
The interesting part lies in the spot buy-sell flow.
The spot buy-sell spread is still heavily negative, but spot CVD remains near its highs, and the price continues to climb.
A large amount of selling is being absorbed without causing significant downward pressure.
So far, this looks more like spot absorption + leverage reduction rather than aggressive new longs chasing the rally.
A healthier structure than leverage expansion.
