BIP-110 failed with only ~2.5% miner support, stalling minority chains after block 961632.
Critics say large mining pools coordinated to block activation, raising concerns of “protocol capture.”
Main chain remains stable, while some supporters consider a hard fork to change PoW.
Do you think miner dominance undermines Bitcoin’s decentralization?Watching the market in the early hours, $ETH That doji reminds me of ETH in June 2022. That time, I lost 20,000 dollars on a single order; this time, I've learned my lesson.
· ETH ETFs have seen inflows for three consecutive weeks, contrasting with BTC ETF outflows
· The ETH/BTC exchange rate remains at its lowest level in many years, but has not broken further and shows signs of stabilization
ETH's biggest problem now isn't its price, but that no one cares about it. BTC has an ETF story, SOL has an AI narrative, BNB has deflation—what does ETH have? Staking yield 2%? This narrative has been going on for three years, and capital has long since grown tired of aesthetics. I won't touch ETH for the long term until staking ETFs are approved or a real new story emerges.

#质押 #技术分析 #ETH BTC Bearish Structure vs. ETH Rebound: BTC daily chart is bearish but the 1H Bollinger Bands are tightening and a market shift is approaching; ETH strengthens in the short term due to short liquidation; Market panic and the biggest BTC options pain point is around $64K, creating a short-term "magnetism."
Technical Perspective: BTC is bearish, ETH is relatively strong, and SOL is relatively resilient to declines
- BTC: Daily chart breaks below all moving averages, MACD in bearish alignment, RSI around 45; 4H volume drop, RSI around 38; 1H RSI around 39 and KDJ oversold; 1H Bollinger bandwidth at about 1.33% in extreme compression, increasing short-term risk of market reversal; Key box at $62,227–$65,780.
- ETH: Strongest performance today, 4H/1H MACD turning bullish; Daily MACD remains bearish but the bars are expanding, short-term strength is positive; Range: $1,821–$1,982.
- SOL: Still above the moving average, overall more resilient to declines.
Derivatives: Bears are forced into the market, panic persists, and options are becoming 'magnetic.'
- Liquidation structure: In the 24-hour liquidation, BTC long liquidations amounted to about $32.4 million, while ETH short liquidations amounted to about $32.3 million (short positions accounted for 73%), showing a clear "squeeze" characteristic of bears.
- Rates and OI: Funding rates are moderately positive (BTC about +0.0067%~+0.010%), not at extreme levels; Open interest (OI) BTC is about $47 billion, ETH is about $25.3 billion.
- Spot Premium: The spot premium is about −0.11%~−0.115%, indicating weak buying by US institutions.
- Market sentiment: The Crypto Fear & Greed Index is around 26–27, in the "panic" range.
- Biggest Option Pain Points: On August 13–14, the BTC options max pain was near $64,000, and on August 15, near $63,000. In the short term, prices are "magnetized," and market maker hedging may pull prices toward this area.
Transmission of macro and sentiment: indirect impacts of interest rates, liquidity, and geopolitical factors
- Interest rate expectations: July's CPI fully met expectations, with the probability of holding rates unchanged in September rising to 55.9%, while the probability of a 25 basis point hike dropped to 44.1%. Short-term rate hike pressure eases, but further hikes are not entirely ruled out.
- Fiscal deficit and liquidity: The federal budget deficit in July was about $432 billion, the largest single-month deficit since March 2021. The increased issuance of Treasury bonds to cover the deficit will drain liquidity from the financial system, indirectly suppressing the performance of risk assets, including cryptocurrencies.
- The double-edged sword of geopolitical risk: Navigation risks in the Strait of Hormuz have pushed up oil and gold prices, but high oil prices may trigger a rebound in inflation expectations, thereby strengthening the market's long-term pricing for high interest rates and indirectly suppressing cryptocurrencies.
Attention and response
- BTC Short-term: Focus on whether the 1H Bollinger Bands are broken out and the upper and lower boundaries of the $62,227–65,780 range; If volume rises and a breakout occurs, it could trigger a new wave of trends.
- ETH Sustainability: Whether the rebound driven by short liquidations can continue depends on a breakout near the $1,982 resistance level.
- Option expiration: On August 13–15, the biggest pain point for BTC options is $63,000–$64,000, and short-term prices may be "magneted" to fluctuate near this range.
- Macro Rhythm: Upcoming August CPI, nonfarm payrolls, and the Jackson Hole annual meeting will affect interest rate expectations and risk appetite, which in turn will affect cryptocurrency pricing $BTC $ETH
The main theme of the US stock market is memory supercyclical + computing power arms race. Funds are concentrated in AI hardware/storage/GPU computing power, with large software cloud holdings being reduced; July PPI and initial jobless claims data on August 14 will reconfirm the strength of the inflation chain.
Main storyline and differentiation
- Capital flows: AI hardware, storage, and GPU computing power were concentrated purchases, and large software clouds were withdrawn
- Representative stocks: SNDK +6%, MU +7.6%, SK Hynix ADR +11%, DRAM +8%, CoreWeave +22%, Nebius +31%, IREN +10%, ORCL +5%, INTC +6%
- Software cloud decline: META −3.8%, MSFT −2%, GOOGL −0.4%, AMZN −1.2%, TSLA −1.4%
The storage sector's "exceed" and "below expectations"
- Micron Technology (MU): Q3 revenue for fiscal year 2026 was $41.456 billion (+345.72% year-on-year), data center business +650% year-on-year, HBM revenue exceeded $1 billion for two consecutive quarters; Q4 revenue guidance was about $50 billion (above the expected $42.5 billion), boosting sector sentiment
- SanDisk (SNDK) / Western Digital (WDC): Q4 revenue for fiscal year 2026 was +372%/+44% year-on-year, but next quarter's guidance fell short of expectations, causing stock prices to plunge at times
- SK Hynix: Holds nearly 60% of high-end HBM capacity; executives warn that 2027 may face the most severe storage shortage in history
The spillover of the computing power arms race
- AI Servers: Supermicro's earnings guidance exceeded expectations, boosting AI server complete devices and upstream optical communications (such as Lumentum).
- Independent computing power providers: CoreWeave, Nebius, and others saw significant increases due to overflow demand from cloud giants
- Storage supply-demand gap: Institutions expect the supply-demand gap to widen in 2027, with the DRAM bit supply-demand gap possibly reaching −1% to −2%, and the price hike cycle will continue
Key risks and catalysts
- Second confirmation of inflation: July PPI and initial jobless claims data on August 14 will verify the strength of the inflation chain
- Geopolitics and oil prices: A worsening situation in Hormuz or a breakdown of the US-Iran ceasefire could push up oil prices and intensify inflation concerns
- Policy decision: The Jackson Hole annual meeting at the end of August and August CPI/employment data will determine whether rate hikes are resumed in September
- JPY/BOJ risk: USDJPY approached 160, prompting multiple Japanese interventions; If the yen depreciates rapidly again, it could trigger volatility in global liquidity and safe-haven sentiment
Trading and risk control
- BTC range: $62,000–$65,800, sell high, buy low
- Bearish signal: break below $62,000, targets $60,500/$59,000Erbing evening market analysis

Have you noticed that those who call for price points every day are often more easily swept out than those quietly waiting for signals? The longer I've been in the industry, the less interested I am in "guessing." I used to like to watch CPI and non-farm payrolls, hoping to grab the candlestick early and be happy all day. But now I've changed; I only do one thing—wait for confirmation. At this point in BTC, the direction hasn't really been chosen yet. The CPI is out, the numbers are decent, but the price reaction is very restrained, indicating the market doesn't treat this data as a one-sided reason. At this point, the biggest mistake is to get itchy and rush to pick sides. My own habit is to let the price take two steps first, hold a key position first, then make a move. Many people fear missing out and always think not entering the market is a loss. But the real loss is when you expose yourself to uncontrollable risks to catch uncertain fluctuations. What I want are trades that can be executed repeatedly, not surprises that come from luck. Sleeping well is more important than how much you earn. From the perspective of cross-market linkage, BTC's current rhythm is actually tightly bound by US stocks and the US dollar index. If the Nasdaq continues to rise, risk appetite will gradually flow back to crypto, but only if the dollar doesn't suddenly strengthen. If DXY rises, BTC will most likely have to come back and test support. So don't focus on individual coins; look at the overall liquidity pool. The bullish path is: US stocks stabilize, the dollar weakens, BTC repeatedly confirms key levels and breaks upward, and altcoins start to catch up.BTC ETFs are seeing outflows, ETH/SOL is being absorbed, and some altcoins are still diverging$BTC currently fluctuating in the 63,400–63,900 range, with the 24-hour market basically flat and slightly weak.

After the CPI was implemented, the market response was lukewarm, with both trading volume and volatility narrowing, and overall it was still a game of stock volume. ETF funds showed clear divergence (data from August 12): Bitcoin spot ETF: net outflow $61.1 million (mainly from FBTC outflows of 46.8 million + IBIT outflow of 14.3 million); Ethereum spot ETF: net inflow of $7.4 million; Solana spot ETF: net inflow of about $9 million. This contrasts with the previous day's structure—previously BTC had small inflows and ETH outflows, now a direct reversal.

Some high-liquidity stocks like $TRX still have sporadic net inflow signals. Overall, The funds did not fully withdraw, but instead moved into BTLet's analyze yesterday's ETF fund divergence between $BTC and $ETH. Many people glance over it and don't understand the details, so I'll be straightforward.
Yesterday's data is quite interesting. For Bitcoin, the spot ETF saw money flowing out, with a net outflow of $61.1 million; conversely, Ethereum ETFs continued to see inflows, with a net inflow of $7.4 million.
Many people's first reaction: "Oh no, institutions are bearish on Bitcoin and are running away?" Actually, it can't be understood so simply.
First, the essence: this situation most likely doesn't mean institutions are completely exiting the crypto space; it's more like internal portfolio rebalancing and position shifting.
Everyone knows Bitcoin is positioned more like the gold of the crypto world, emphasizing stability and value preservation, making it the top choice for large capital as a hedge. With macroeconomic news hanging in the balance, and PPI inflation data yet to be released tonight, plus ongoing regulatory battles with the SEC, some institutions are pulling money out of Bitcoin ETFs to avoid holding through volatility, locking in some profits first.
But they don't want to leave the crypto sector entirely; instead, they are reallocating a small portion of funds into Ethereum.
ETH and BTC have different logics. Besides speculation, ETH offers staking yields, on-chain applications, and RWA (Real World Assets) stories. Many institutions believe ETH has greater potential at this stage and are willing to allocate some positions to bet on future opportunities. That's why we see ETH ETFs still attracting small inflows.
A key reminder here: this is just single-day data and shouldn't be taken as a long-term trend.
A single day of outflow doesn't mean institutions have completely abandoned Bitcoin; it could just be short-term fund rebalancing, client redemptions, or hedge adjustments. Similarly, the ETH inflow amount isn't huge and doesn't indicate massive institutional accumulation, just a slight preference shift.
Looking at the market, this signal translates to: institutions are currently cautious overall, with no consensus for large capital to push the market up.
Funds are unwilling to blindly pile into Bitcoin, starting to diversify and pick specific assets. The market is unlikely to see a strong one-sided rally; more likely, it will experience choppy fluctuations, with news causing quick spikes and drops. So, avoid being too aggressive in trading.
Summary: You can add to your long positions with small leverage. Currently, coin prices are at low levels, so half a position is enough; don't go all in. On the surface, Goldman Sachs' acquisition appears to be expanding its ETF portfolio, but in reality, what deserves more attention is its layout in the crypto asset yield track. On August 12, Goldman Sachs announced plans to acquire NEOS Investments for up to $2.25 billion in cash and equity. NEOS is a major issuer in the options income ETF sector, currently managing about $30 billion in assets and owning 19 products. After the transaction is completed, the scale of Goldman Sachs' actively managed ETF platform is expected to reach approximately $130 billion, directly ranking among the global leaders. But what truly draws the crypto market's attention is the Bitcoin products held by NEOS. Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas pointed out that Goldman Sachs' transaction will indirectly acquire about $1 billion worth of Bitcoin options yield ETF under NEOS, BTCI. The core logic of these products is not complicated: holding Bitcoin-related assets, earning premiums by selling options, and distributing part of the returns to investors. BTCI's allocation rate once reached about 27%, effectively packaging the originally highly volatile Bitcoin exposure into a standardized financial product with cash flow attributes. In other words, Wall Street is trying to upgrade "holding BTC" to "holding Bitcoin and earning profits." And this is not an isolated incident. In the past two years, the development of option income ETFs has accelerated significantly, with the entire related market size reaching about $180 billion, and a compound annual growth rate exceeding 70% since 2021. In the interest rate environment, the situation is inverse#芯片股领涨, Korean stocks rebound over 22% in ten days
This rebound in Korean chip stocks is not simply oversold repair, but an early pricing of the AI storage cycle reversal, making the market unlikely to end easily.
South Korea's KOSPI index has rebounded over 22% from its late July low, led by Samsung and SK Hynix. Many people say this is a technical rebound from a large drop and that after trading, it will go back again, but I disagree. There are two core logics:
First, global AI capital is supporting continued growth. Storage is the infrastructure for computing power, and the industry's cycle bottoming out and rebound is a certain trend, not short-term sentiment speculation;
Second, this rally is accompanied by continuous foreign capital inflows, indicating institutional funds are repricing the value of the industry chain, not the quick in-and-out speculative approach of speculative capital.
Last month, I set up long positions on SK Hynix and SanDisk, essentially betting on a reversal in storage cycles. It fluctuated several times but didn't break out, precisely because I was convinced of this big logic.
Of course, this is not to call everyone chasing the high now. After such a large short-term rise, there is a constant need for a pullback, so the price-loss ratio of chasing on highs is very low. Those holding positions should just hold onto key support; those waiting for pullbacks and stabilization before buying in batches is much safer than chasing highs.
Don't call a big bull market just because it's a little increase, nor predict the top just because it's a big rise. Follow industry logic and focus on intraday volatility for more reliable results.

$OKB around $85 is interesting, but the real story isn’t the price.
After its 2025 tokenomics adjustment, OKB’s supply is permanently capped at 21 million, while it serves as the native gas token for X Layer.
That creates an interesting equation:
Fixed supply + growing on-chain demand = potential value leverage.
But scarcity alone doesn’t create sustainable value.
The real question is whether X Layer can keep growing users, transactions, TVL and Gas demand — and whether more on-chain activity actually requires $OKB.
If adoption expands, the 21M cap becomes meaningful.
If ecosystem activity stalls, scarcity alone won’t be enough.
So I’m watching demand, not just supply.
#CPIEasesHikeBets #AIInfraEarningsWatch #SpaceX99%ValueFromAI Organize and summarize
Disclaimer: The content is for news only and does not constitute investment advice.
1. Musk's recent main statements
1. All-hands meeting statement: AI revenue in September is highly likely to surpass SpaceX's total of other businesses. Over the next five years, 99% of the company's valuation will be contributed by AI business, with a computing power target of 10GW next year.
2. Starlink and Starship Viewpoint: V3 Starlink has greatly improved performance, with significant long-term communication revenue potential; Starship serves as the hardware foundation, supporting satellite and space computing deployment.
2. The short-term impact of speech
The market's main investment theme shifted from aerospace and Starlink to new stories of space AI computing power.
Previously, the stock price pullback and unlocking brought pessimism, but the rhetoric stimulated capital inflows, leading to a clear rebound in the stock price. Investment banks' optimistic ratings also boosted sentiment, indicating a sentiment-driven recovery rally.
3. Main risks
Musk's statements mostly focus on long-term goals, not actual results.
1. If AI revenue in September falls short of expectations, the rebound may easily fall back.
2. The "AI accounts for 99% of valuation" scenario relies on Starship launches, orbital computing power deployment, and other key links. Any delay in any link weakens market confidence.
3. The circulating supply of new stocks is unstable, unlocking chips still face selling pressure, and stock price volatility is likely to be large.
4. Core Summary
Musk's short-term positive remarks have raised market expectations and driven a rebound in stock prices.
Medium- to long-term trends don't rely on speech; focus on two key verifications:
First, September AI revenue data;
Second, the progress of Starship and V3 Starlink projects.
Only when expectations are met can the market have support; If expectations fall short of expectations, gains are easily forfeited. CPI Cooling Is Not Enough Bitcoin Needs Fresh Capital
July CPI came in at 3.4% YoY, with core CPI at 2.5%, both matching expectations. That reduces some macro pressure and gives risk assets room to breathe.
But I wouldn’t call it a new bull-market signal yet.
The bigger issue is liquidity.
On August 12, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded roughly $61M in net outflows, while Ethereum ETFs saw only around $7M of net inflows.
So CPI may remove a headwind, but it doesn’t automatically create buyers.
From here, I’m watching three things:
1. U.S. Treasury yields — can they keep falling?
2. ETF flows — do consistent net inflows return?
3. $BTC volume — can Bitcoin break resistance with real buying pressure?
If those three align, the CPI relief could become something bigger.
Until then, better macro ≠ guaranteed upside.

比特币继续在63,636美元附近缩量震荡，像一潭死水。
CPI明明降温了，为啥不涨？ 7月CPI符合预期，9月加息概率回落至40%左右，但这轮利好仿佛被市场直接“无视”。核心原因是多头信心不足：买盘缺席，ETF资金流入断断续续，链上成交量甚至创下2019年新低。
资金面上，有人在偷偷跑路： 一方面，美伊霍尔木兹海峡僵局推高油价，压制风险偏好；另一方面，上市矿企今年已累计减持28,000枚BTC（约17.8亿美元），加上ETF时不时流出，供给端持续施压。
技术面上， 上方64,100-65,000美元是强阻力带，下方63,280美元为短期支撑。今晚PPI数据或成变盘导火索。多看少动，等待方向明确。#7月CPI平稳落地，9月加息预期降温 #财报观察员：AI基建财报接力登场 #马斯克称AI将占SpaceX价值99% $ETH $OKB Cerebras, the "Nvidia challenger," posted Q2 core revenue of $209.9 million, up +103% year-on-year. It looks impressive, but breaking it down: hardware revenue unexpectedly declined, cloud business surged nearly fourfold year-on-year, core operating margin was -16%, and after-hours plunged 12%.
I think this isn't just Cerebras' issue. Chip sellers, when chips can't sell well and rent computing power themselves, just boosting revenue—this shows downstream AI companies are tight on cash flow and can't afford complete machines, so they have to rent.
Transmitted to $XNVDA: The real pressure isn't who is competing for its business, but that even "Challenger" is starting to struggle to sell hardware
I judge AI chip prosperity based solely on one ratio: hardware revenue / cloud revenue. If the ratio goes downward = downstream is renting, not buying = demand structure is deteriorating. This indicator turns ahead of financial report revenue
#财报观察员: AI infrastructure earnings report debuts one after another Why did the "mild CPI boost" fail to ignite BTC? The deeper logic and breakthrough path behind the $63,600 fluctuation
The US July CPI data fully met expectations, with inflation falling year-on-year to 3.4% and core CPI dropping to 2.5%. The "prelude to rate cuts" that the market had anticipated did not materialize. After the data was released, Bitcoin fell instead of rising, falling to around $63,600. This article analyzes the underlying reasons behind the current market volatility from four dimensions: macro data, capital flows, seasonal patterns, and technical aspects, and outlines key operational strategies and risk control points for investors in the key range between $64,000 and $62,000.
The US July Consumer Price Index (CPI) data released last night best summed up as "moderate." Overall CPI rose 0.1% month-on-month and 3.4% year-on-year, while core CPI rose 2.5% year-on-year—both key indicators fully aligned with market expectations. This means inflation has not worsened further. Two consecutive months of moderate readings (June and July) have provided the Fed with a valuable window to watch policy and temporarily eased market concerns that the central bank will be forced to accelerate tightening.
However, this "impartial and unbiased" data did not provide a significant boost to risk assets. Bitcoin experienced brief fluctuations after the data release, then quickly retreated to around $63,600. This "good news without price increases" phenomenon precisely indicates that the current market's pricing logic has undergone a subtle shift—macro data is no longer the sole guiding force; capital flows, technical patterns, and seasonal patterns are jointly shaping price trends.
1. CPI in line with expected "atypical" market reactions
Looking at the data itself, July's CPI is a qualified "cooling report." The decline in energy prices provides clear support for overall inflation, with services inflation slowing year-on-year to 3.0%, and core CPI growth of 2.48% hitting the lowest level since February this year. But the problem is that this data is too "within expectations" attributes. Before the data was released, the market had already fully priced in the possibility of inflation easing; what could truly drive large asset price swings were "unexpected surprises or shocks."
A deeper reason is that the Fed's policy path has not become clear. Although inflation has been moderate for two consecutive months, the 3.4% year-on-year increase is still significantly higher than the policy target of 2%. Boston Fed President Susan Collins has made it clear that if inflation remains high, she will support a rate hike in September; Cleveland Fed President Beth Hamack even believes multiple rate hikes may be needed to keep inflation back into the target range. Currently, the market's probability of a rate hike in September remains around 45%, with policy moving toward a highly open approach. In this asymmetric game of "good data but no rate cuts, poor data may lead to rate hikes," risk assets find it difficult to gain sustained upward momentum.
2. The "retreat signals" in liquidity are more important than the data itself
If CPI data is the market's "background noise," then capital flows are the core variable determining short-term prices. One undeniable fact is that inflows into Bitcoin spot ETFs are cooling significantly. In mid-July, weekly net inflows peaked at $197 million, but by late July, they had plummeted to $33.79 million—a weekly drop of 55% and an 83% shrunk from the monthly peak.
Institutional investors have not shown obvious sell-offs, but the "exhaustion of buying demand" itself serves as a warning. Meanwhile, on-chain data shows a striking divergence: the number of whale entities holding at least 1,000 bitcoins rose from 1,263 to 1,267, indicating that large players are still buying on dips; However, the "Hodler net position change" indicator for long-term holders plummeted from 29,838 to 15,766 within two weeks, a 47% decrease. This means some steadfast holders are slowing their accumulation pace, leaving room for potential pullbacks. When the divergence index between whales and retail investors aligns, once the market turns, the lack of counterparty support will make the decline smoother.
3. August's "seasonal curse" and the dual suppression of technical form
Historical data adds an extra layer of caution to the current market. Bitcoin's performance in August was arguably the worst of the year: over the past 15 years, the median return in August was -7.87%, with an average return of only -0.64%, making it the only month with a negative median. In the past 15 years, there have been nine instances of August closes lower, including notable corrections such as a 14% drop in 2022 and an 8.73% drop in 2024. Liquidity is thin in summer, and traders' vacations have led to a decline in market depth, with individual large trades potentially triggering sharp volatility.
Technically, Bitcoin is currently in a key game zone. Looking at the three-day moving average, since early March, the price has been running within a potential head and shoulders top pattern, with the right shoulder rising accompanied by shrinking volume—a classic "upward exhaustion" signal. If this pattern is effective, the theoretical downside target could point to $54,000 or even lower. On the other hand, the weekly RSI indicator hit a new low in June, forming a bullish divergence from the signal line—a pattern that has appeared multiple times before major rebounds in history.
Specifically, $63,600 is at a delicate equilibrium point. Above $64,000 is the first short-term resistance; regaining hold is necessary for further recovery; $64,500 to $65,000 is the core resistance zone that has failed multiple previous breakouts; only a successful breakout above this area can the bulls regain control and attempt a push toward the next target between $66,000 and $66,500. Below, the 63,000 to $63,500 level is the current key support zone; holding it would still represent a healthy range-bound consolidation; If it falls below $63,000, one should be alert to the risk of further pullbacks to $62,000 or even lower.
Facing the current complex landscape of "moderate macro, capital retreat, technical volatility, and weak seasons," investors need to establish a clear response framework.
For short-term trading, it is recommended to consider the $63,000 to $65,000 range as the core trading range. The area around $63,500 can be seen as a reference area for left-side positioning. #7月CPI平稳落地, September rate hike expectations cool #财报观察员: AI infrastructure earnings report debuts in succession, #马斯克称AI将占SpaceX价值99% $BTC $ETH $SNDK #7月CPI平稳落地，9月加息预期降温 我认为只是预期修复，绝非趋势反转，别借着数据就无脑追多。

你们借着这波CPI利好加仓了吗？If you shorted SpaceX (SPCX) in early August, you are most likely under the pressure of unrealized losses on paper. This doesn't mean your judgment is wrong; rather, you're participating in a narrative-driven game but betting using traditional value analysis rules. 1. Your reason for shorting back then still holds up today. Looking back at early August, the bears' betting logic was clear and solid. On August 6, about 911.5 million restricted shares were unlocked, while only about 640 million shares were publicly circulating at the time of the IPO, with the circulating shares more than doubling overnight. Morgan Stanley called this period SpaceX's "most dangerous moment." Meanwhile, when SpaceX launched at an issue price of $135, its price-to-sales ratio exceeded 90 times, and when its stock peaked at $225, its valuation approached 140 times, while Tesla was only about 15 times during the same period. Regarding financial data, net loss for the full year 2025 is $4.9 billion, and for the first quarter of 2026, net loss is $4.276 billion. Although Starlink contributed positive profits, its AI and aerospace businesses remain bottomless pits. Famous short seller Jim Charnos publicly questioned SpaceX's valuation before its IPO, claiming it was built on "hope and dreams." Michael Barry bluntly stated that it was "not even worth $1 trillion," and veteran investor George Noble set a reasonable value at just $30 per share. These judgments hold up within traditional valuation frameworks. 2. But why hasn't the stock price crashed? The problem is, the market hasn't followed this logic. After the financial report was released on August 4, SpaceHere's an interesting 'historical pattern' in the crypto world: often, the 'high before last' becomes the next 'bottom.'
Take the previous round as an example: in 2023, Bitcoin's $BTC bottomed out at 16,000 USD, while its previous high (2017) was just around 19,000 USD. Although it fell below 3,000 USD at that time, it was clearly oversold.
Let's apply this rule to the present:
The lowest point in this round was 58,000 USD, while the previous high (2021) was around 69,000 USD. This time, it fell below 10,000 USD, which is also considered severely oversold.
Therefore, this round of major bottoms may have already been smashed through, or could see a violent rally at any moment, kicking off a new bull market.
If this pattern continues, then after the next peak occurs, the next major bottom is very likely to fall near the current high (126,000 USD). Considering possible overselling, 110,000 to 120,000 USD could be the ultimate defense line for the future.The surge in the Korean stock market is a clear signal to the cryptocurrency market. This marks the beginning of the initial stage of risk appetite recovery. Will this Korea-driven rally follow the same trajectory as previous rebound patterns? The surge in the Korean stock market, led by Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, is not just a matter of individual stocks. Looking at past cases where $KORU intervened to stabilize the market, this has served as a leading indicator of a global recovery in risk appetite. This time, as always, there is a possibility that the pattern of Korean large-cap stocks moving first followed by the cryptocurrency market following will repeat. A notable feature observed in the derivatives market is that after leverage liquidation, only trend-following funds remain. This means that if the funding fee rises without overheating, conditions are now in place for a short squeeze to occur. In particular, if the Korean stock market continues to rise, buying pressure could be transmitted to both altcoins and major coins linked to it. The key scenarios can be summarized as follows. - Upward scenario: The Korean stock market rises further, and this mom#黄金维持高位, institutions remain bullish by year-end
The leader had something to say
Gold is oscillating near $4,380. The LBMA surveyed 16 analysts, with a year-end median forecast of $4,500, with the mainstream bullish outlook. However, the forecast range has widened from 3,879 to $5,100, indicating significant divergence.
The cooling CPI has eased the pressure to raise rates, and central bank gold purchases and safe-haven demand continue to support the market. The dollar and high long-term US Treasury yields are the suppressive factors.
For Bitcoin, a rise in gold is a good thing, but the key depends on how funds move. If the gold price increase is driven by improved liquidity, Bitcoin is very likely to follow. If it's purely safe-haven funds pushing, Bitcoin might not get a share of the profits. Looking at the past two weeks, Bitcoin has been hovering between 64,000 and 65,000, clearly not keeping up with the pace $BTC $ETH $OKB
I keep holding a few orders in my hand. Short position on Da Bing at 64250 was halved at 63800, and the remaining half is still holding below 63500. SanDisk 1377 short position stop-loss at 1420, target between 1300 and 1320. Light position near SPCX 135, test long position, stop loss at 124.
The mountain stronghold still didn't move.
All of the above analyses are time-sensitive. You must set stop-loss orders for your orders. Good luck to you.Rising expectations of a Japanese rate hike have a core impact on the market
Background of the incident
On August 13, 2026, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi publicly supported the Bank of Japan's upcoming rate hike, prompting the market to bet on a sharp increase in the probability of a rate hike in September or October. Affected by this news, the US dollar fell more than 214 points against the yen at one point, while the yen surged sharply, directly triggering collective volatility in global risk assets.
Global market performance
1. Foreign Exchange Market: The yen has appreciated sharply, with the US dollar falling more than 214 points against the yen in the short term, and the pressure to close out carry trades has surged.
2. Commodities: Silver plunged first, followed by a collective collapse in commodities, and market risk appetite cooled rapidly.
3. Asia-Pacific Stock Market: South Korea's gains narrowed across the afternoon, while Japanese stocks also came under pressure.
4. A-share Market: The market briefly strengthened in early trading, with the Shanghai Composite up 0.32% and the ChiNext up 1.49%. Over 4,100 stocks rose, with a turnover of 2.15 trillion yuan; in the afternoon, affected by yen appreciation and falling commodities, A-shares surged and then retreated, ultimately dropping over 4,300 stocks, showing a clear pattern of stagnation on high volume.
Conduction logic analysis
1. Closing Carry Trades: As the world's core financing currency, the yen has been heavily borrowed by institutions to buy high-yield assets in a prolonged low interest rate environment. After expectations of a rate hike in Japan heated up, the yen appreciated, forcing institutions to sell risk assets to recoup the yen to repay debts, directly triggering leveraged capital withdrawals.
2. Global liquidity tightening: Japan's rate hikes push Japanese bond yields higher, attracting global capital back into Japan's domestic market, leading to tighter liquidity in other markets, with commodities, stocks, and other risk assets bearing the brunt.
3. Risk sentiment contagion: The appreciation of the yen and falling commodities intensify market concerns about tightening global liquidity, reducing investors' risk appetite and leading them to reduce holdings of stocks and other risk assets. A-shares are also affected by this sentiment transmission.
A comparison with the UK's "Truss moment" in 2022
The video mentions that Japan's current situation is highly similar to the government debt crisis triggered by UK Prime Minister Truss in 2022. At that time, the UK's fiscal policy was chaotic, leading to a frenzied sell-off of government bonds, soaring interest rates, and the financial system on the brink of collapse. Now, with Japan's debt scale continuously expanding and fiscal prospects uncertain, the yen's depreciation is essentially a vote of distrust from the market on Japan's fiscal policy. If Japan's rate hikes trigger similar market panic, history could repeat itself, potentially triggering a global financial tsunami.
The specific impact on A-shares
1. Direct impact: The global withdrawal of leveraged funds triggered by yen appreciation directly puts pressure on A-shares and other global risk assets, which is a key reason for A-shares' afternoon rally and pullback.
2. Structural Divergence: The pharmaceutical sector (CRO, biologics) surged across the board in the morning, with pharmaceutical ETFs seeing capital inflows for three consecutive months, but also saw a surge and pullback in the afternoon, indicating that funds are only blocating for warmth rather than a full-scale attack. The pharmaceutical sector is already at the tail end of a peak and on the eve of differentiation.
3. Market signals: A-shares are stagnant on high volume, indicating funds are selling off on a rebound. This is a short-term top signal, not an offensive signal.
Key points to watch going forward
1. Bank of Japan Policy: Focus on whether the Bank of Japan will actually raise interest rates in September or October, as well as the magnitude and pace of the hikes, which will determine the speed of yen appreciation and the scale of carry trade unwinding.
2. Global liquidity changes: Observe whether global capital continues to withdraw from risk assets and the trend of Japanese bond yields to assess the degree of liquidity tightening.
3. A-share Structure: Focus on whether A-shares can break through the stagnant situation of increased volume and stagnation, as well as the direction of sector rotation, to judge whether the market will continue to rebound or enter a correction.Bearish, fundamentals are completely broken, no need to force a bottom-guessing forecast
Looking at CryptoQuant's data, miners' fee revenue has dropped to 0.71%, directly returning to the historically low level of 2015. Hash rate has dropped 23% from its peak, and $BTC has plummeted from 124,000 to 63,000.
Currently, there's no activity on the chain at all, block space isn't being contested, and miners' income can only rely on a small amount of subsidies. With coin prices halved and hash rate declines, high-cost miners are already forced to shut down and sell off BTC inventory to support cash flow. During this "miner surrender" phase, selling pressure hasn't been fully cleared yet
The main idea is to short on highs and never take the knife: it looks cheap after nearly a 50% drop, but during the phase when miners are dumping chips, it's easy to accelerate bottoming, and blindly bottoming out easily gets buried
Look for short opportunities at rebound exhaustion levels: weak rebounds give shorts chips, with a focus on bearish signals after resistance is put under pressure
Long position signal on the right: If you want to go long, at least wait for hash rate stabilization and on-chain fees to recover, or after seeing clear miner selling pressure and structural bottoming out, then consider it
Right now, with no new funds entering the chain and miners still cutting losses, it's much safer to short than to hold back and go long2026年8月13日市场事件分析：日本加息预期引发的全球联动冲击
事件核心背景
2026年8月13日，日本首相高市早苗公开支持日本央行近期加息，市场随即押注9月或10月加息概率大幅上升。受此消息影响，美元兑日元一度下跌超214点，日元直线拉升，直接引发全球风险资产集体波动。
全球市场表现
1. 外汇市场：日元大幅升值，美元兑日元短线下挫超214点，套息交易平仓压力陡增。
2. 大宗商品：白银率先跳水，随后大宗商品集体崩跌，市场风险偏好快速降温。
3. 亚太股市：韩国股市午后涨幅全部收窄，日股也同步承压。
4. A股市场：早盘一度走强，上证涨0.32%、创业板涨1.49%，超4100只个股上涨，成交额达2.15万亿；午后受日元升值、大宗商品下跌影响，A股冲高回落，最终超4300只个股下跌，呈现明显的放量滞涨特征。
传导逻辑分析
1. 套息交易平仓：日元作为全球核心融资货币，长期低利率环境下大量机构借入日元买入高收益资产。日本加息预期升温后，日元升值，机构被迫抛售风险资产回笼日元偿还债务，直接引发杠杆资金撤离。
2. 全球流动性收紧：日本加息会推动日债收益率上行，吸引全球资金回流日本本土市场，导致其他市场流动性收紧，大宗商品、股票等风险资产首当其冲。
3. 风险情绪传染：日元升值和大宗商品下跌，会强化市场对全球流动性收紧的担忧，投资者风险偏好下降，进而减持股票等风险资产，A股也受到这一情绪传导影响。
与2022年英国“特拉斯时刻”的对比
视频中提到，当前日本的情况与2022年英国首相特拉斯引发的国债危机高度相似。当时英国财政政策混乱，导致国债被疯狂抛售、利率飙升，金融系统濒临崩盘。现在日本债务规模持续扩大、财政前景存疑，日元贬值本质上也是市场对日本财政政策投下的不信任票。如果日本加息引发类似的市场恐慌，可能会重演历史，甚至引发全球金融海啸。
对A股的具体影响
1. 直接冲击：日元升值引发的全球杠杆资金撤离，会直接导致A股等全球风险资产承压，这也是A股午后冲高回落的重要原因。
2. 结构分化：医药板块（CRO、生物制品）早盘全线爆发，医药ETF连续三个月资金流入，但午后也出现冲高回落，说明资金只是抱团取暖而非全面进攻，医药板块已处于高潮的尾巴、分化的前夜。
3. 市场信号：A股放量滞涨，说明资金在借反弹出货，这是短期顶部的信号，而非进攻信号。
后市关注重点
1. 日本央行政策：重点关注9月或10月日本央行是否真的加息，以及加息的幅度和节奏，这将决定日元升值的速度和套息交易平仓的规模。
2. 全球流动性变化：观察全球资金是否持续从风险资产撤离，以及日债收益率的走势，判断流动性收紧的程度。
3. A股自身结构：关注A股后续能否突破放量滞涨的局面，以及板块轮动的方向，判断市场是继续反弹还是进入调整。ETH staking ratio reached a new high of 34.4%, indicating tightening supply is a long-term logic.
The real direction for the market will be determined by the Fed's statement at the Jackson Hole meeting at the end of the month.
In the short term, the market is stalemate, making it difficult to trade both long and short. Key point: US Treasury yields have yet to peak, and the market is still unlikely to start a major rally.
#美国7月CPI与PPI数据本周出炉No surprises in CPI, BTC surged and then retreated—some thoughts from a beginner's perspective
Guys, last night's CPI data came out, but the market reaction was a bit confusing.
US July CPI rose 3.4% year-on-year, 2.5% in core growth, and 0.1% month-on-month—exactly as expected—no more, no less. Logically, if inflation cools → rate hike expectations drop, risk assets should rise→ right? But BTC instead surged from 64,400 and then retreated, still fluctuating around 63,500. Gold, on the other hand, broke through 4,400 and rose quite well. Why isn't Bitcoin following suit?
I have randomly speculated on a few reasons:
1. "Meeting expectations" means "no surprises": The market has long priced it in, and the data is just "boots dropping," so it's normal for prices to stall.
2. Inflation is still far from the 2% target: Although it has dropped slightly, housing costs are still rising, energy prices remain high year-on-year, and inflation is stickier than expected.
3. The Fed is just "pausing rate hikes," not "cutting rates": The probability of keeping rates unchanged in September is 59.9%, but there's still a 40% chance of a rate hike. Goldman Sachs even says there might not be any rate cuts in 2026, so easing is still early.
4. Long-term interest rates are not coming down: Short-term U.S. Treasury yields have fallen, but long-term yields remain high. With such a large fiscal deficit, risk assets remain under pressure.
Tonight is the main event: PPI data
Market expectation is 4.9%. If the PPI also falls short of expectations→ the narrative of cooling inflation strengthens → positive; If it exceeds expectations→ the probability of rate hikes will return→ negative news. I think this is even more critical than the CPI, since the CPI has already "met expectations," so the PPI may bring new variables.
My approach:
In the short term, BTC may still be mostly volatile; there's no rush to hold heavy positions. First, let's look at tonight's PPI before making any decisions.
After all, I'm a newbie, so all of the above is just my guess and might not be right. Feel free to criticize. Feel free to share in the comments—I'll learn from it too.
#7月CPI平稳落地 #新手看盘 #PPI才是关键$CAP Between 0.55 and 0.06, Dog Farm has issued 40 million caps, totaling 250 million caps. That's impressive—it can't even fall. Retail investors are just too strongGold bulls are taking a breather again, two major hurdles are about to arrive, and is the pressure from high interest rates losing its effect?
$XAU After gold's surge, the market dares not blindly chase gains; the upcoming PPI and Jackson Hole meeting are important touchstones. State Street strategists expect gold prices to have ample short-term upside, with year-end targets set at $5,000.
After U.S. inflation data cooled, gold saw a strong rebound, but after hitting a two-month high, bulls began to pause for a while. On Thursday, spot gold briefly approached $4,450 per ounce, the highest since June 5, before falling back below the 4,400 round-to-round mark, with an intraday drop of as much as 1%. Previously, gold prices had risen more than 9% over the past two weeks, with a cumulative increase of over 8% this month, reclaiming the key psychological level of $4,000.
The core driving force behind this rally is very clear: U.S. employment and inflation data weakened, market expectations for a Fed rate hike in September cooled significantly, and the weakening dollar opened upside for gold. However, the market is not in a hurry to chase further gains. Investors are awaiting the upcoming release of the U.S. Producer Price Index (PPI) to assess whether the cooling inflation will be sustained. Previously, in July, the U.S. CPI rose 3.4% year-on-year, down from 3.5% in June, marking the second consecutive month of decline; Core CPI rose 2.5% year-on-year, the lowest level since March 2021.
After the data was released, market bets on a Fed rate hike in September further declined. Currently, interest rate futures show the probability of a rate hike in September has dropped to about 40%, significantly lower than about 54% a week ago.
Aakash Doshi, Global Head of Gold and Metals Strategy at State Street Management, said that the recent rise in gold prices over the past three to four weeks was mainly driven by a shift in Fed expectations and a weaker dollar. The US dollar index is currently hovering near its lowest level since mid-June. More importantly, funds are returning to the gold market. One of the largest gold ETFs in the U.S., SPDR Gold Shares, recorded a net inflow of $284 million in July, marking the first net inflow since March. In just the first two weeks of August, the fund's net inflow had already exceeded $2 billion. Gold mining stock ETFs also saw capital inflows again in July. This indicates that this rebound is no longer just short-term trading in the futures market; previously hesitant funds are now chasing gold again.
Under what circumstances is gold not afraid of high returns?
There is another unusual aspect of this gold rebound: U.S. long-term Treasury yields remain elevated.
The 10-year Treasury yield has recently remained around 4.7%, while the 30-year yield once rose to 5.28%, the highest level since 2007.
According to traditional logic, high real interest rates usually suppress gold, because interest-free assets need to compete with bonds that generate interest. But this time, gold was not overwhelmed by high yields. The reason may be that the market is beginning to reconsider: why are long-term U.S. Treasury yields so high?
If rising yields are due to a strong U.S. economy, increased productivity, and market confidence that the Fed can control inflation, then gold will indeed face pressure. But if rising yields come from massive fiscal deficits, massive government bond supply, ongoing inflation uncertainty, and investors demanding higher risk compensation, then high yields may actually strengthen gold's safe-haven attributes.
In other words, gold may be shifting from a simple "rate-cut trade" to a hedge against fiscal risks, monetary policy uncertainty, and sovereign debt pressures. This also explains why even with the 30-year U.S. Treasury yield approaching 5.3%, gold can continue to rise.
PPI vs. Jackson Hole: The Next Test Arrives
In the short term, gold bulls still need to face two key variables.
First is the upcoming US PPI release. If the PPI continues to show limited inflationary pressure, the market may further dampen expectations for a rate hike in September, putting pressure on the dollar and Treasury yields, which could provide gold with a new round of upward momentum. Conversely, if the PPI rebounds significantly and the market renews concerns that energy prices, tariffs, and geopolitical conflicts are being transmitted to broader goods and services prices, gold could face a phase of volatility.
The second key variable is the Jackson Hole global central bank annual meeting at the end of August. Although Federal Reserve Chair Wash has recently remained tough on inflation, he has not clearly committed to raising rates in September. The market is waiting for him to send clearer policy signals at Jackson Hole.
Additionally, in the short term, there is another factor favorable for gold. Doshi of State Street stated that given gold's seasonal strength, its price may still have room to rise. His team expects gold prices to rebound to around $5,000 per ounce by year-end. #7月CPI平稳落地, expectations for a rate hike in September cooled #黄金维持高位, institutions remain bullish at year-end, #霍尔木兹通航谈判未果, and pressure from the US and Iran is escalating $BTC $CL 🦅 Macro Geopolitical Market Analysis | Strait of Hormuz deadlock, the transmission logic between oil prices and crypto assets
🔴 Market phenomenon: Geopolitical news in the night session stirred up the entire market
During the night session, news from the Middle East disturbed the market. After reports of the Strait route closure, BTC and ETH plunged rapidly; In contrast, crude oil $CL bucked the trend and strengthened, holding above $82. The market is re-pricing the risk of Middle East geopolitical conflicts.
🟠 Current Status of Negotiations: The Strait of Hormuz negotiations have essentially reached a deadlock
The much-anticipated Hormuz shipping agreement has made no substantial progress so far. Both the US and Iran are increasing their bargaining chips, but have not shown any sincerity in negotiations.
The key point of the conflict is not the text of the agreement, but the implementation stage. Mediation negotiations between Iran and Oman are still at the stage of tug-of-war, with even basic terms like transit fees not yet being discussed.
Market views suggest that Iran's negotiation bargaining chips are gradually depreciating, and the international community's tolerance for blockading shipping continues to decline. However, in the short term, the strait navigation crisis remains unresolved, and the risk of conflict cannot be quickly resolved.
🟡 A complete risk transmission chain
Escalating geopolitical conflicts → rising crude oil prices→ driving global inflation expectations → squeezing the Fed's room to cut rates→ putting downward pressure on risk assets.
Rising oil prices reignite inflation concerns, directly suppressing market expectations for loose liquidity—this is the underlying logic behind the suppression of highly volatile risk assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum.
🟢 Core variable: Evening CPI inflation data determines the subsequent market trend
1. If CPI data falls and cools down: Inflationary pressures ease, which can offset some of the negative factors caused by geopolitical factors, easing the chain of negative news mentioned above.
2. If CPI data rebounds higher: Geopolitical crises combined with inflation rebound create dual pressures on the market, putting greater pullback pressure on risk assets like crypto.
⚫ Practical conduct reveals and inspires
All current attention is on the CPI data. Before the data is released or the market direction is clear, it is not advisable to subjectively predict the market in advance. The short-term fluctuations in night sessions have far less impact than the decisive impact of this inflation data. #财报观察员: AI Infrastructure Earnings Debut #7月CPI平稳落地, September Rate Hike Expectations Cool by #马斯克称AI将占SpaceX价值99% $BTC $ETH The latest data from Glassnode sends out a warning signal: $BTC spot trading volume has dropped to its lowest level since statistics began in 2019, and market liquidity has clearly contracted.
Currently, Bitcoin is caught between the realized median price of about $63,000 and the short-term holder cost of $68,700. Spot buying remains lacking, and the overall market is in a state of low activity compression.
If it further falls below the June low of $58,500, with insufficient spot support, high-leverage positions may intensify downside volatility, making short-term risks significant. #7月CPI平稳落地, expectations of rate hikes in September cooled #高盛收购Neos, crypto ETFs shifted to #霍尔木兹通航谈判未果 of earnings competition, and pressure from the US and Iran escalated $BTC is currently hovering around $63,647, with nearly $10,000 left to reach the much-discussed bottom area. Many people ask if you can bottom fish now. My judgment is that the real opportunity is most likely around $54,000, not at the current level. This judgment is not just a guess; technical, on-chain costs, and institutional consensus all point to the same range. From a technical perspective, the 4-hour rounded top and daily bearish flag breakout, with both independent patterns targeting downside below $54,000. The monthly MACD touches the zero axis, and historical patterns show that this position corresponds to the adjustment low area of each bear market. On-chain data is even more convincing: $BTC's realized price is currently between $53,000 and $54,000, miner production costs are between $55,000 and $56,000, and the 1.0x benchmark for the MVRV pricing band is also near $54,000. Four support lines are strongly resonating in this area. Institutional views are also concentrated in the $53,000 to $54,000 range, with several institutions including Galaxy Digital, Bernstein, and NYDIG identifying key support levels in this area. Macroeconomic factors are also cooperating. The Fed's rate hike cycle is nearing its end, and once policy shifts are confirmed, the bottoming logic will be fully activated. If the price really reaches $54,000, it's not the time to panic and exit, but to seriously consider the right time to act. Currently, unrealized losses for current holders will widen, while those with short positions should stay alert and keep an eye on thisThe expectation for the opening on @okxchinese here is:
1. News sniper, $DOS spot trading on OKX.
2. Given the current rapid clearance across all exchanges, there is definitely a grand slam expectation, which will reduce some selling pressure.
3. Even though the airdrop was generous, part of it was consumed by yesterday's selling pressure.
In reality, the spot price on OKX only rose by a small margin, considering the current market liquidity.
Formula @Vida_BWE also gave up on news sniping with low volatility, and fewer bots followed the formula afterward, so there won’t be many points gained.
Therefore, to break even, I can only synchronize with the index after the call auction, unload the opening position, made a wave break, and entered at 0.27.
Using the opening to break even, closing out wave and added positions, I will observe the market further. BTC/USDT Update: Currently trading at $63,628.0. The $BTC 63,309.4 level acts as key support.

$SMCI: Yesterday, I chose SMCI as a medium- to long-term target, which is quite good. In a few months, the stock price target is about 🤩 doubled This is definitely the most suffocating on-chain disaster I've seen recently......
1.6 big pies, over 100,000 dollars, not a single cent was transferred, all thrown to miners as tips.
After digging into the on-chain data, the reason was simply baffling: this guy wrote an RBF automated script to increase fees, setting it to automatically increase prices every second. The result...... He actually forgot to set a maximum fee cap (Max Fee).
So the program started self-bidding frantically, moving at lightning speed. After several rounds, the fees completely consumed the only 1.6 BTC input in the account, ultimately turning the output into a disastrous zero.
The most ironic was the SpiderPool pool. Yesterday, block 962142 won this huge sum — 88% of the block's 1.82 BTC transaction fee came from this unlucky player.
This round really gave all on-chain automation brothers the hardest lesson with real money: never trust code without stop-loss settings.Expectations of a rate hike in Japan are heating up, liquidity black swan is arriving, and today's in-depth analysis of the market impact on Bitcoin
The biggest macro risk in the entire financial market recently is the Bank of Japan's September 18 policy meeting. Market statistics show the probability of another rate hike has reached 74-78, and the negative sentiment for rate hikes has already started to be transmitted to the crypto market today.
The yen has long been the world's lowest-cost financing currency. Many overseas institutions earn interest rate gains by lending low-interest yen and investing in high-risk assets like Bitcoin—commonly known as yen carry trades. As expectations for rate hikes continue to rise, borrowing costs for yen have increased, the yen has started a rally, and institutions' arbitrage opportunities have been shrinking. To avoid exchange rate losses, many funds have already sold Bitcoin in advance today, reclaiming yen to repay leveraged loans. Selling interest continues to increase, directly putting pressure on the market.
Looking back at past market patterns, since Japan officially ended negative interest rates in March 2024, every rate hike has triggered a sharp correction for Bitcoin. In July of the same year, Japan unexpectedly raised rates beyond expectations, causing Bitcoin to drop 25% in just one week. In subsequent rounds of rate hikes, the price pullback ranged roughly between 18 and 32, with an average drop as high as 27%. The historical trend is now very clear: Japan's tightening of monetary policy has long been recognized as a liquidity black swan in the crypto market.
Risk sentiment is also being transmitted across global markets. Today, stocks and commodities collectively weakened, Japanese bond yields continued to rise, and overseas funds gradually withdrew from global risk assets, flowing back into Japan's domestic market. Bitcoin is the most sensitive high-risk speculative asset. When market risk aversion rises, traders prioritize reducing their positions in cryptocurrencies to avoid the impact of tightening macro liquidity.
The market will mainly follow two directions: if Japan's rate hike pace is moderate, the yen strengthens slowly, and carry trades are smoothly and orderly liquidated, Bitcoin will only experience short-term volatility and pullback, then after adjustment, it will return to its original trend. If the central bank chooses aggressive rate hikes, the yen will appreciate rapidly and sharply, forcing large amounts of leveraged positions to be forced to close out, leading to a deep market correction.
At this stage, everyone needs to closely monitor the Bank of Japan's September 18 meeting, the rate hike rate, and the real-time trend of the yen exchange rate. Changes in liquidity will directly determine Bitcoin's volatility direction for the coming period.xSPCX/USDT Update: Currently trading at $147.76. The $XSPCX 146.40 level acts as key support. Watch resistance near $149.37. Expect sideways movement between $146.00 and $149.00 short term. A breakout above $149.37 can target $XSPCX 152.00, while dropping under $146.40 risks hitting $144.00.#CPIEasesHikeBets #OKX.ai Which sectors did the pre-market smart money flow into the US stock market???
First, major funds concentrated in the storage semiconductor sector, with $SNDK, $MU, and $SKHYNIX all rising slightly before the market opened, supported by expectations of AI computing power demand. Corresponding to the crypto market, the US-based storage mapped token surged in unison, with short-term funds following the trend for speculation, but no independent rally. If the US market pulls back, the mapped coin will plunge first.
Second, safe-haven funds saw slight inflows into US Treasuries and gold in $XAU targets, with the US dollar index fluctuating within a narrow range. Risk appetite is neutral, with no widespread panic. $BTC and $ETH hold support at 63,160 and 1,872, with digital gold's safe-haven attributes supporting the market and avoiding a systemic crash.
Third, funds continue to withdraw from high-level loss-making theme stocks. Pre-market selling of old AI and weak public chain targets is transmitted to the crypto market of $DOS, $ADA, and $KAITO continuing to decline. Funds are clustered around the sector leaders, with no counterfeit players to take over.
Overall impact logic: pre-market tech strengthens benefits AI and crypto storage tokens; Funds hedge while mainstream coins stabilize, while highly elastic altcoins weaken. Currently, there is no one-sided large market; only light positions and short-term betting main themes are suitable for mapping targets. Avoid weak coins with low volume and wait for the main US stock market to break the volatility pattern with increased volume.
⚠️ Market review is only and does not constitute investment adviceBitcoin long- and short-term trading opportunities from a perspective
In the short term, rate hike expectations will trigger massive leveraged liquidations, intensifying market volatility and making rapid short-term declines likely. In the medium term, there are two trends: moderate rate hikes, slow yen appreciation, smooth exit of arbitrage trades, and Bitcoin will only return to its original trend after a brief correction. If Japan chooses aggressive rate hikes, the yen will surge rapidly, and massive leveraged liquidations will trigger a deep market correction. Traders currently need to wait closely for the central bank meeting on September 18 to judge the subsequent market direction.Important events for the crypto market on August 13 from the economic calendar. Today, the markets are waiting for the release of US manufacturing inflation for July (a leading indicator of consumer inflation for August). And also - data on unemployment benefits in the States.

#CPIEasesHikeBets #OKXTraderVoices $XAU CPI and the big non-farm payrolls have both risen as expected. Now, the next target is to look at the PPI data to assess the sustainability of the inflation easing. Additionally, gold usually has a seasonal upward advantage in August, September, and October, so there is still a chance for gold to be above $5000 by the end of the year 😁A perspective on global Bitcoin asset risk sentiment
Japan's rate hikes are not just a single country's monetary policy adjustment; it drives Japanese bond yields higher, causing overseas funds to withdraw from various global risk assets and return to Japan's domestic market. After the simultaneous weakening of stocks, commodities, and US stocks, overall market risk appetite declines. Bitcoin is a high-risk speculative asset; investors prioritize reducing their positions in crypto assets to avoid macro risks. Global risk-averse sentiment indirectly drives price volatility downward.A perspective on Bitcoin's historical market trends
Looking back at the full cycle, since Japan exited negative interest rates in March 2024, every rate hike has triggered a sharp correction for Bitcoin. After the March rate hike, the coin price fell by 23; in July, the unexpected rate hike plunged 25% in a single week; subsequent hikes have ranged between 18 and 32, with an average decline of 27. Historical data has established a fixed pattern: Japan's rate hikes are recognized in the crypto market as a liquidity black swan. When rate hike expectations ferment early, the market will be pressured and retreat ahead of time.Liquidity may determine crypto’s next major move. With $BTC below $64K and ETF flows weakening, today’s CPI is crucial. Softer inflation could revive risk appetite, while hotter data may strengthen the dollar, lift yields, and pressure BTC and altcoins.

Facts, Trends & Insights
#SECActsAsCLARITYWaits Why is the market willing to valu a company that hasn't fully proven profitability close to a trillion dollars?
This question is more interesting for SpaceX than discussing stock price fluctuations.
In recent years, SpaceX has been one of the most sought-after tech companies in the private market.
Investors are willing to give it extremely high valuations, not just because of the rocket.
If you only watch rocket launches, SpaceX isn't that special.
Two things have truly changed market imagination:
One is reusable rockets, turning previously expensive space launches into scalable commercial services.
The other is Starlink, which turns satellite internet from a science fiction story into a real business.
So many investors buying SpaceX are essentially not buying a space company.
Instead, they are placing bets:
Will future space infrastructure, like the internet, give birth to new super platforms?
But now the problem arises.
As a company's valuation rises, market focus inevitably shifts.
People used to ask:
Can SpaceX change spaceflight?
Now everyone starts asking:
Can SpaceX support this valuation?
This is its biggest contradiction $SPCX
Starlink is indeed currently the closest business to a commercial closed loop.
User growth, enterprise services, and global coverage all prove that there is real demand for satellite internet.
But on the other hand, Starship, rocket development, and launch facility construction all require substantial ongoing investment.
SpaceX now resembles a rapidly expanding technology infrastructure company.
There is enormous room for growth.
But cash flow pressure is equally enormous.
This is also why the market is beginning to re-examine it.
Because there are many great stories.
But those who truly become trillion-dollar companies ultimately need to answer one question:
When did this story start making money?
Many people watching SpaceX tend to focus on Musk.
Focus on the Mars program.
Stay tuned for the next successful launch.
But in the end, the capital market doesn't look at how big the dream is.
It's about whether dreams can turn into income.
If Starlink becomes a global internet infrastructure in the future, SpaceX's valuation logic could be completely changed.
It is no longer an aerospace company.
Instead, it will become an infrastructure company connecting Earth and space.
But if commercialization can't keep up with market expectations, even the grandest space narrative will face repricing.
So now, looking at SpaceX, I think the biggest highlight isn't how far the rocket flies it.
Instead:
Can Starlink transform SpaceX from a great engineering company into a great business enterprise?
The rocket decides where it can go.
Cash flow determines how far it can go.
#SpaceX #SPCX #美股 #科技股 #太空经济 #美方酝酿打击伊朗能源设施, the embassy issued an evacuation warning Bitcoin Liquidity Perspective
The yen is the world's mainstream low-cost financing currency, with many institutions borrowing yen at low interest rates and entering the market to allocate Bitcoin to earn interest rate gains. Currently, expectations for a rate hike in September are heating up, raising yen borrowing costs and shrinking arbitrage opportunities. Institutions will proactively sell Bitcoin to recoup yen to repay leveraged loans, increasing market selling pressure and directly tightening external liquidity in the crypto market. Once carry trades begin to unwind large-scale positions, Bitcoin will be the first to bear the downward pressure from liquidity withdrawal.The yen has long been a cheap global financing currency. Many institutions borrow low-cost yen to buy Bitcoin and earn profits, known as yen carry trades.
After Japan began raising interest rates, borrowing costs rose and the yen began to strengthen. Institutions needed to sell Bitcoin to raise funds to repay yen loans, causing heavy selling pressure and causing Bitcoin to fall under pressure.
Historical trends clearly confirm that in March 2024, Japan ended negative interest rates, leading to a sharp correction in Bitcoin. In July of the same year, Japan raised rates more than market expectations, causing Bitcoin to fall 25% in a single week. Every subsequent round of rate hikes has seen Bitcoin fall between 20 and 30 points.
Currently, the market estimates the probability of another rate hike by the Bank of Japan on September 18 to 74 to 78, with rate hike expectations continuing to rise. Global risk asset sentiment has weakened, stock and commodity markets are declining, and the crypto market has started deleveraging early. Bitcoin, which trades around the clock, reacted the most sensitively, being the first to be hit by tightening liquidity.
There are three main channels for capital transmission in total
First, leverage positions were being closed in concentrated fashion, yen appreciation raised borrowing costs, institutions sold Bitcoin to settle yen debts, and massive selling pushed down coin prices.
Second, overseas capital has begun flowing back to the mainland, Japanese government bond yields have risen, liquidity has tightened, and funds are withdrawing from the crypto market into Japanese local assets.
Third, market risk sentiment cooled, major global stock markets weakened and fluctuated, and investors actively reduced their holdings of high-risk assets like Bitcoin.
The subsequent market trend will follow in two directions
The pace of rate hikes is moderate, the yen is rising slowly, carry trades are being smoothly closed, and Bitcoin will only experience short-term volatility and pullback.
If Japan adopts aggressive rate hikes, the yen will appreciate rapidly and sharply, forcing large amounts of leveraged positions to be undone, and Bitcoin will experience a deep correction.
Going forward, pay close attention to the Bank of Japan's September 18 policy meeting, the extent of the rate hike, and the direction of the yen exchange rate.
