Sister Mutou will share how I came up with this grid strategy. Let me clarify the logic for you. SPCX grid long position. Entered at 134 on August 10th, currently with a floating profit of 40%. This wave of timing is quite good
When I entered the market on August 10, the price was right around 134. After a round of pullbacks, the market stabilized above 130, with the low continuously rising. The overall upward structure was confirmed. The grid was stuck at this level, indicating a trend confirmation and buying on the right side. This is not a bottom-fishing bet on a rebound
From 134 to around 146 now, the unrealized gain in three days is 40 points. That's a decent return efficiency. Looking back, the core logic of entering the market was a combination of short squeezes, the Ghana Index weight adjustment expectation, and the gap period. These three lines are still fermenting, with short positions pushed from 34% to 11%. S3 Partners said the shorts had their bullets out, and both rising and covering were pushing forward
But there are still variables ahead. On August 20, 319 million shares were unlocked. In September, there were still over 700 million shares. The circulating market is continuously expanding, which suppresses prices. You can keep holding the grid bottom position to let profits run, but don't add positions at this level. 149 to 152 is the first resistance. If it can't break through, reduce when needed. Add new positions when it pushes back to 132 to 135 before adding new positions
The entry position is well found, with a solid profit margin, but the road ahead is still long. If you can hold on, you must know how to buy $BTC $ETH $SPCX
#7月CPI平稳落地, expectations for a rate hike in September cool down#财报观察员: AI infrastructure earnings report debuts in succession, #马斯克称AI将占SpaceX价值99% Additionally, looking at data from high-net-worth and small-scale investors, there has been a reversal in the past month, which is probably the most promising data we've seen in the short term.
Starting July 30, when $BTC reached $63,000, it was clear that many small-scale investors holding less than 10 Bitcoins were exiting, with most of these tokens going into the hands of high-net-worth investors holding more than 10 Bitcoins.
Some may question whether the BTC was entered by an exchange address, which is why it shows as high-net-worth BTC. However, in reality, the amount of BTC transferred to exchanges after July 30 is not high. Compared to the reduction by small-scale investors versus the increase by high-net-worth investors, the gap is significant.
Therefore, the reduction by these small-scale investors is very likely to be pocketed by high-net-worth investors. More and more signs are starting to taste like the latter half of a bear market.
The proportion of short-term BTC holders has been steadily declining, a phenomenon that has appeared in the late stages of previous bear markets.
Short-term traders are decreasing, new funds are inactive, and market attention is declining; Meanwhile, chips are gradually accumulating in the hands of long-term holders.
The hardest phase of a bear market is often not a daily plunge.
Instead, it fell to the end, with fewer and fewer people even discussing it.
When will the short-term holders' share rebound from its lows next?
This means new participants and new demands are entering the market again. #7月CPI平稳落地, expectations for a rate hike in September cool down #财报观察员: AI infrastructure earnings report debuts in succession. #黄金维持高位, institutions remain bullish at year-end 🔥 THE “TOKENS DON’T CAPTURE VALUE” THESIS IS GETTING HARDER TO IGNORE — AND HARDER TO DEFEND
For years, one of the biggest criticisms of crypto tokens has been simple:
The network generates revenue, but the token holders don’t necessarily capture it.
That assumption is increasingly being challenged by new token-economic models.
Look at what’s happening across several major ecosystems:
⚡ Hyperliquid
A large share of protocol fees is being directed toward token buybacks, creating a more direct connection between network activity and $HYPE demand.
🚀 Pump
Token burns and revenue-linked supply reductions are being used to create a deflationary mechanism around $PUMP.
🦄 Uniswap
The introduction of fee-related mechanisms changes the conversation around whether protocol activity can eventually translate into value for $UNI.
👻 Aave
Automated buyback mechanisms are creating another potential link between protocol revenue and token demand.
🔵 Aptos
Fee growth, supply mechanics and token burns are changing the economics of $APT as network activity expands.
🟣 Solana
Proposals to significantly increase the portion of fees burned could further strengthen the connection between network usage and $SOL’s supply dynamics.
The bigger story isn’t any single token.
It’s the evolution of value accrual.
The next phase of crypto may increasingly be about answering one question:
«If a blockchain generates billions in economic activity, who actually captures that value?»
Revenue alone isn’t enough.
Usage matters.
Fees matter.
Buybacks matter.
Burns matter.
Supply dynamics matter.
And if more protocols successfully connect real network activity → token demand or supply reduction, the market may need to rethink how it values crypto assets.
The narrative is shifting from:
“What does this token represent?”
to “What economic value does this token actually capture?” 👀

#CPIEasesHikeBets #AIInfraEarningsWatch #SpaceX99%ValueFromAI CPI降温只是第一关：BTC真正缺的，还是增量资金
7月CPI没有制造黑天鹅：整体同比 3.4%、核心同比 2.5%，均符合预期。通胀继续缓和，9月加息压力随之下降，美债收益率回落、美元转弱，风险资产获得了一次喘息窗口。
但别把“宏观利空减弱”直接等同于“新一轮牛市启动”。
更值得注意的是资金端：8月12日美国现货BTC ETF净流出约 6110万美元，ETH ETF仅净流入约 740万美元。
这说明CPI解决的是估值压制，却没有自动创造新增买盘。
真正决定后续行情的仍是三件事：
美债收益率能否持续回落、ETF能否恢复连续净流入、BTC能否在宏观转暖后放量突破关键压力。
如果利好环境下价格仍然涨不动，反而更值得警惕上方存量卖压。
CPI负责打开门，资金愿不愿意进来，才决定行情能走多远。$BTC #7月CPI平稳落地，9月加息预期降温 If the CPI fails, will tonight's PPI bring about a rate cut?
After the CPI came out yesterday, I feel the market has given a very clear answer: the most important macro contradictions now are worsening employment and inflation war—who is moving faster?
July CPI rose only 0.1% month-on-month, falling from 3.5% year-on-year to 3.4%; Core CPI rose 0.2% month-on-month and 2.5% year-on-year, overall in line with expectations.
At least from the consumer side, the energy shock caused by the war has not yet formed a full-scale second-wave inflation.
But on the other hand, employment has already begun to clearly weaken.
Nonfarm payrolls in July showed negative growth, and previous months were further revised downward.
So the Fed now faces an awkward combination: jobs require more loose monetary policy, but inflation is far from low enough to be relaxed.
PPI is the next piece of the puzzle.
1. Why tonight's PPI is more important than usual
PPI is the Producer Price Index.
Simply put, CPI shows how expensive consumers end up buying, while PPI shows whether costs and prices rise first when a company produces or sells goods and services.
Many costs are not immediately passed on to consumers.
Just because crude oil prices have risen doesn't mean all supermarket goods have gone up in price today.
There is a time lag in transportation, chemicals, packaging, manufacturing, wholesale, and then terminal retail.
Therefore, after the war pushes up energy and logistics costs, the PPI often exposes inflationary pressures on the business side earlier than the CPI.
The current market consensus is a PPI of +0.2% month-on-month, compared to the previous -0.3%; The PPI excluding food and energy is about +0.3% month-on-month.
In other words, the market itself is prepared for the PPI to rebound from its lows.
So tonight we see a +0.2%, which can't be called an inflation rebound.
What really matters is how much it rebounds, and whether the rise comes from energy or has already spread to core services and other costs.
2. Tonight is very likely to rebound, but not explosive
The June PPI fell 0.3% month-on-month, marking the largest drop in fourteen months.
But that figure had a strong energy factor: prices for final demand goods dropped significantly, and energy prices fell sharply. Meanwhile, the narrower caliber PPI, which excludes food, energy, and trade, still rose by 0.1%.
So you can't simply assume that -0.3% means the US has entered deflation.
The US-Iran conflict escalated again, with supply risks in the Strait of Hormuz and the Middle East re-entering oil prices, and Brent briefly climbing back above the 80 or even higher range; To this day, the situation in the Middle East remains unresolved.
This means that the rise in energy, transportation, and raw material costs on the enterprise side compared to June is very reasonable.
So I actually don't expect to see another negative PPI tonight.
My baseline scenario is a headline PPI around +0.1%~+0.3%, and near the core it's about +0.2%~+0.3%.
If it ultimately falls here, I think it belongs to a relatively comfortable number: war does create some cost pressures,
But it has not yet evolved into full-blown production-side inflation.
And this is precisely the answer risk assets most want to see right now.
3. The best outcome of tonight
Here's an easily overlooked question.
If the PPI turns sharply negative tonight, it is not necessarily a super positive sign.
Because employment is already poor enough.
If the nonfarm payroll is very poor + CPI is very low + PPI is also suddenly very low
The market will begin to ask why inflation is falling so quickly.
If the answer is that demand is rapidly deteriorating, then the trading logic will gradually shift from [interest rate cut benefits] to [recession trading].
So at this stage, the most perfect data for US stocks is not always better if the numbers are lower.
Instead, employment has cooled moderately, inflation has dropped moderately, and the economy has not suddenly stalled.
This is known as the soft landing window.
Therefore, the truly comfortable PPI tonight is around market expectations: 0.1%~0.2%, with core values not exceeding 0.3%.
4. The danger is that the PPI could reach 0.4% or even higher
This is the biggest tail risk tonight.
Because once both headline PPI and core PPI clearly exceed expectations, the market can no longer simply interpret it as oil prices.
The logic immediately becomes: war → energy/logistics price hikes → rising corporate costs → diffusion of service and goods prices → CPI/PCE rebounding in the future.
Meanwhile, employment in the U.S. has already begun to deteriorate.
If both things happen at the same time: the economy weakens while prices rise again.
That could lead to stagflation.
Inflation itself is actually not that frightening.
Economic weakness itself isn't that scary.
The former can raise interest rates, while the latter can cut rates.
The most troublesome thing is when two appear together.
5. Trading logic of various asset types
If tonight's PPI is below or roughly in line with expectations, the first reaction remains positive for risk assets.
Short-term yields on US Treasuries tend to decline, the US dollar is under pressure, and financial conditions are marginally easing.
Nasdaq, AI, semiconductors, optical modules, storage, software, and BTC/ETH will all benefit.
Among them, software stocks and cryptocurrencies, which are typical long-duration/highly liquid assets, are often the most sensitive to changes in interest rate expectations.
After yesterday's CPI basically met expectations, US stocks reacted similarly: Nasdaq rose, US Treasury yields fell, and the dollar weakened.
Gold is quite special
Now, gold has two logics at once: the war-hedging logic + the real interest rate logic brought by the weakening US economy.
So with low PPI, lower interest rates, and gold benefits.
PPI is high, but the market is trading on war inflation and stagflation, and gold may find another layer of support.
Therefore, the current macro structure of gold is, to some extent, more comfortable than that of purely high-valuation tech stocks.
I won't use tonight's PPI to judge crude oil direction.
Currently, the top variable in oil prices remains the US-Iran situation, the Strait of Hormuz, actual supply, inventories, and progress in negotiations.
As of today, oil prices are supported by the deadlock in US-Iran negotiations and shipping risks, while also being weighed down by lowered demand expectations and a sharp increase in US crude inventories
So this is a typical geopolitical > supply and demand > Fed #July CPI delivered steadily, September rate hike expectations cooled The July U.S. CPI data has been released, showing a month-on-month increase of 0.1%, with core inflation rising 2.5% year-on-year, both in line with expectations and slightly below forecasts. With inflation cooling down, the market's concerns about a rate hike in September have been temporarily eased.
But as everyone can see, Bitcoin remains lukewarm, while Ethereum is almost unmoved. Many people are puzzled: with macro positive news, why can't the coin price soar?
First, this round of positive news had already been priced in by the market in advance. The CPI release was not a surprise beyond everyone's expectations; early on-stage funds chose to take profits, which is a typical positive factor realized. Macro only reduces the risk of a sharp decline, not that capital is actively entering the market.
Second, the internal pressures of the two coins are completely different.
Above Bitcoin, there are 65,000 to 68,000 trapped positions, and without massive incremental funds, it is difficult to break through;
Ethereum is even more struggling; the Layer 2 network continues to divert funds, lacks independent narratives, and rebounds often lag behind Bitcoin. If Bitcoin remains stagnant, Ethereum will find it difficult to break out of an independent rally.
Summing up the current landscape, the market still remains a game of stock competition.
Macroeconomics determines the lower bound; as long as inflation does not rebound, it is difficult for liquidity to stamp on and plunge;
Chip structure and market narrative determine the upper limit of the upside. Without new stories or clear signals of rate cuts, ordinary economic data cannot drive the main rally. #7月CPI平稳落地, expectations for a rate hike in September cool, #财报观察员: AI infrastructure earnings reports debut one after another With the ETF for XRP, the biggest positive may not be capital inflows, but that valuations can no longer rely solely on story value
In past market discussions $XRP, the most common topics were regulation, litigation, payment cooperation, and bank adoption.
These topics have kept XRP in the spotlight for years, allowing it to remain on the mainstream market cap rankings for a long time even without the most popular DeFi and meme ecosystems.
Now, with the emergence of XRP-related ETF products, traditional funds now have a more convenient entry point for participation. SEC registration documents
Many people interpret ETFs as simply positive buying signals, but for XRP, it may also mean the market will raise stricter questions from now on.
Previously, when regulatory uncertainty previously, XRP's poor performance could be explained as policy suppression; As institutional entry points increase, the market will be more concerned about real demand: how many cross-border payments must use XRP? When financial institutions use related infrastructure, do they need to continuously purchase and hold tokens? After transaction volume expands, where will the value actually accumulate?
ETFs can make a story easier to trade, but they cannot fulfill the narrative.
This is the biggest difference between XRP and BTC.
As long as more people hold BTC long-term, the logic of scarcity will be strengthened. XRP focuses on payments and settlements; if real financial business growth does not generate token demand, the market will sooner or later question the relationship between technology adoption and token value.
But XRP also has an advantage that other altcoins find hard to replicate: its story is understandable to traditional finance.
Slow cross-border settlement speed, high costs, and dispersed liquidity are not problems created by the crypto world, but long-standing issues in the global financial system. XRP does not need to convince banks to believe in Meme and DeFi; it only needs to prove that digital assets can improve capital turnover efficiency.
This is also why its market value has been difficult to completely disappear over the long term.
Many projects need to constantly create new concepts, and XRP just needs to wait for an old problem to become increasingly unbearable.
After the ETF, XRP's short-term price may continue to be driven by news and capital flows, but long-term valuations will increasingly depend on settlement size, liquidity usage, and real business needs.
If this data appears, the market may for the first time stop treating XRP merely as a "regulated concept coin"; If the data never keeps up, ETFs may simply provide existing holders with a more convenient trading channel.
So ETFs are not the end of XRP's story, but more like the bell for the start of the defense.
In the past, it had to prove it could legally stay at the table; now it wants to prove that the global financial system really needs this card.#7月CPI平稳落地, Expectations for September Rate Hikes Cool | BTC I Remain Bearish!
Around 63,700, I temporarily don't consider it a true support.
The biggest issue in the market right now isn't whether there's a rebound, but whether there is enough incremental capital to carry the relay. If volume can't keep up, the longer the 63,700 level is repeatedly worn down, the easier it is to wear down the support.
Many people have started talking about "digital gold" and "21 million coin limits" as long-term narratives, but trading is focused on the present.
Narratives can hold up long-term, and prices can also fall temporarily.
Especially with macro data windows like CPI and PPI approaching, volatility is easily amplified. For me, before the trend truly reverses, a rebound is more about looking for bearish opportunities rather than rushing to buy the dip at a bullish candlestick.
So my script hasn't changed for now:
If it can't hold 63,700→ Continue to be weak;
Rebound without increased volume → continue to seek shorts;
Truly breaking through key resistance with increased volume→ I admit my mistake and cut my losses again.
Short selling is not faith; stopping losses is the bottom line.
Don't fall in love with your own position; if the market moves wrong, just accept it.
$BTC, at this stage, I remain bearish 🐻

Brothers, the reason for this morning's waterfall might have been found!
Harmony is suspected to have been attacked by an attacker who minted about 4 billion ONE unauthorized through empty blocks, accounting for about 26% of the supply. Even more outrageous, about 2.8 billion of these quickly flowed to exchanges and faced massive sell-offs.
So the sudden surge in volume and price drop of ONE this morning might not be a normal correction at all, but a huge amount of newly minted tokens dumped directly into the market.
But what really deserves attention now is not how much more ONE can fall, but how Harmony will handle this next.
If the abnormal minting is confirmed, should the project team roll back?
Those in favor of rollback would say: This is abnormal assets created by attackers, why should normal holders pay the price?
Opponents would say: The greatest value of blockchain is immutability; if something goes wrong and you roll back, how is that different from a traditional database?
More importantly, about 2.8 billion ONE have already flowed to exchanges; freezing, recovering, or rolling back could each impact market trust.
If you hold ONE, would you choose to keep holding and wait for the official result, or run first to be safe?
This time, the real victim might not only be Harmony, but the entire market's trust in on-chain rules.#黄金维持高位, institutions remain bullish by year-end
Gold continues to hold at high levels, with several overseas institutions updating year-end target prices. The general optimism is that gold prices will continue to rise in the fourth quarter, with geopolitical risks combined with falling inflation becoming the two core drivers.
This supports the logic behind gold price increases
1. US CPI cooled, rate hike expectations eased, real interest rate pressure eased, and the attractiveness of gold, a non-yielding asset, regained its allure.
2. Geopolitical tensions remain high, global central banks keep buying gold, safe-haven buying supports the bottom, and any pullback will have funds buying in.
3. Institutions generally predict that there is no need to wait for official rate cuts; as long as rates have peaked, gold will have the momentum to continue rising.
We cannot be blindly optimistic
1. Institutional bullish sentiment is scenario-based, not inevitable. If the economy surpasses expectations again and interest rate expectations resurface, gold prices may experience rapid pullbacks, and a sharp correction may occur during a bull market.
2. Pay special attention to one phenomenon: gold is strong, but Bitcoin has not strengthened in tandem. Currently, funds are primarily flowing into safe-haven assets, while risk assets have not directly benefited, and the two have already shown a clear divergence.
3. In risk-averse conditions, funds seeking certainty may divert incremental funds from the crypto market.
In my opinion, a bull run in gold indicates changes in the macro environment, but gold rises ≠ the crypto sector surges directly.
Gold reflects risk aversion + interest rate expectations; Bitcoin is more about risk appetite, ETF funds, and market buying.
In practice, just treat gold as a macro indicator, not directly bet on gold price trends to bet on BTC trends. Only when gold rises and risk appetite also warms will the crypto market truly reap the dividends.Easing hike bets are not translating into broad crypto demand. BTC near $63.7K is down modestly, while ETH and SOL are slightly weaker, a pattern that points to caution rather than a clean risk-on rotation.
With attention split across AI infrastructure earnings, Korean chips and gold, crypto lacks a dominant macro catalyst. My bias is defensive in the near term: BTC may retain relative strength, but the backdrop does not yet support chasing higher-beta assets.

Holding digital assets has always created balance-sheet exposure.
Now it's increasingly affecting earnings as well.
Trump Media's latest quarterly results included substantial unrealized losses tied to digital assets, staked assets and equity investments, highlighting how crypto volatility can directly influence reported financial performance.
This isn't unique to one company.
As more corporations allocate capital to Bitcoin and other digital assets, investors will increasingly evaluate treasury strategy alongside operating performance.
Questions around accounting treatment, unrealized gains and losses, liquidity management and capital allocation are becoming part of mainstream equity analysis.
That's an important shift.
Corporate crypto adoption is no longer just about accumulating Bitcoin.
It's about managing digital assets responsibly within public markets.
The more widespread corporate adoption becomes, the more treasury decisions may influence quarterly earnings, valuation multiples and shareholder expectations.
Crypto is gradually becoming another component of corporate finance.
And investors will analyze it the same way they evaluate every other capital allocation decision.
Do you think public companies should actively manage their crypto holdings—or simply hold them through market cycles?
Share your thoughts below 👇 #TrumpTruthAPILawsuit #TrumpMediaCryptoLosses The most important thing for SNDK today isn't how much it has risen, but whether management dares to say that 👇
"How much longer can AI storage demand last?"
Yesterday, SNDK suddenly surged about 8%, and the market started getting excited again.
But I actually think today's Investor Day is the real exam ground.
Because the last financial report was actually quite contradictory:
📈 Quarterly revenue was approximately $8.97 billion
📈 AI/data center demand remains very strong
📈 The company's long-term customer orders continue to increase
But why hasn't the market bought in directly?
Because the market's real concern is not whether SNDK is making money right now.
Instead:
How long can such ultra-high profit margins last?
This is the biggest valuation divergence for SNDK right now.
If management today can prove:
AI data centers' demand for NAND/Flash continues to expand;
The price and profit margins of high-end storage products can be maintained;
Order visibility for the coming quarters remains high;
So the current valuation of SNDK may need to be recalculated.
But if management starts to stress:
"Cycle Peak"
"Price pressures"
"Profit margin normalization"
"Slowing Demand Growth"
That's a completely different story.
So today, I won't just focus on the stock price.
What I most want to hear from management is one question:
Is the money SNDK is making now a "cycle top profit" or a new normal after the restructuring of storage demands in the AI era?
These two answers may correspond to valuations that are completely different worlds.
Interestingly, after SNDK's sharp pullback from its previous highs, the market has clearly split into two camps:
🟢 Bulls: AI storage demand is just beginning
🔴 Bears: The market has already traded too much ahead of time
So today, I won't call for long or short.
I'm more curious to see which side the market will choose to believe after hearing Investor Day.
What do you think?
👇
Is SNDK's current high profit margin the "cycle top," or the "new normal of the AI era"?
I'm more curious to see how the bears explain it.The AI narrative was reignited today by earnings. CoreWeave surged 19%, Nebius soared 34%, AMD +19%, IREN +10%—computing power leasing became the sexiest business.
CoreWeave posted Q2 revenue of $2.575 billion, up +112% year-on-year, and also raised its full-year capital expenditure guidance. The market is saying: Don't worry about AI burning cash—demand is moving faster than burning cash.
SMCI's FY27 Q1 guidance was impressive, with a direct +19%; Data center operators IREN and Applied Digital also strengthened. Cloud vendor Capex was revised upward, benefiting the entire hash power chain.
CoreWeave's "heavy assets + high leverage" computing power leasing model—do you think it's the next AWS or the next WeWork?

OKB is currently around $85, still about 67% away from OKX's all-time high of $258.6.
But now, re-examining OKB, the focus is no longer on "can it become the next BNB."
After the 2025 economic model adjustment, OKB's total supply will be permanently fixed at 21 million tokens, making it X Layer's sole native gas token. In other words, it is transforming from a traditional exchange platform token to a dual value capture of "trading platform traffic + L2 on-chain economy."
What truly determines the next round of valuation is not scarcity itself, but rather the question:
Can X Layer generate real transactions, users, TVL, and gas demand?
21 million coins solve supply issues, while ecosystem growth solves demand issues.
So the biggest highlight of OKB right now isn't "how high the price can rise," but rather:
Can OKX make more and more on-chain events mandatory to use OKB?
If demand continues to expand, fixed supply will truly form value leverage; If ecosystem growth stagnates, even the scarcer tokens will find it difficult to sustainably boost valuations based solely on stories. $OKB #7月CPI平稳落地, expectations for a rate hike in September have cooled Market Trends: Differentiation and Catalysts
Ethereum is gaining attention, and under the "fork bull market," on-chain capital is concentrating on DeFi protocols with real income (such as Hyperliquid, Uniswap, etc.). Asset attributes are becoming increasingly distinct: Bitcoin is gradually "gold-digitizing," while Ethereum and Solana resemble software company stocks with different driving logics, leading to significant divergence in future trends.
The biggest catalyst is on Wall Street
Morgan Stanley, Wells Fargo, UBS, and Bank of America Merrill Lynch together manage about $20 trillion in assets. If their model portfolios incorporate 1%-2% crypto allocation, it could generate sustained capital inflows in the hundreds of billions of dollars. On the macro level, the US plans to borrow $600 billion in Q4, expanding fiscal deficits and overall benefits for crypto and other risk assets.#芯片股领涨, Korean stocks rebound over 22% in ten days
Chips have returned to the center stage in recent days, with Samsung and SK Hynix leading the rally in turn. On the surface, it looks like sentiment is returning, but the underlying logic is solid—AI is pulling storage demand back into an upward trend. But to be fair, this rally can't just focus on the candlestick fever; whether orders can be delivered and whether demand can support a true new industry cycle is the key to determining the height.
Let's start with SK Hynix. The previous rebound peaked at 1154, but now it has pulled back to fluctuate near the 1100 level. In the short term, it broke below MA5 and MA13, and the MACD red bars have clearly reduced volume, indicating that after continuous rallies, some funds have started to cash in profits. However, the overall structure hasn't broken yet, and prices are still holding above the support band formed by EMA144 and EMA169. To reactivate the offensive, the price must first hold above the upper boundary of the short-term box at 1115-1125; otherwise, it is highly likely to continue grinding near 1100.
The logic behind this is actually the same as SanDisk and Micron. The AI market has long passed the "take off with a concept" phase; it has now officially entered the elimination round of "industry realization." Previously, capital was aggressively speculating on computing power and GPUs; now it is digging deep into the segments that truly reap dividends—high-bandwidth memory (HBM) and DDR5, which have become new focus points for capital. However, rapid rises do not mean only gains and no falls; after continuous sprints in any sector, short-term pullbacks are mandatory lessons.
Let's shift the perspective back to the macro perspective. Last night, the US July CPI rose 3.4% year-on-year and core 2.5%, fully meeting expectations. Although it didn't surprise the rate cut, at least it sealed the risk of rate hikes. Currently, CME data shows the probability of holding rates steady in September is close to 60%, indicating relatively stable sentiment in the US tech sector, providing breathing room for the AI industry chain. For the crypto world, the fact that the macro environment hasn't further deteriorated is good news, marginal liquidity expectations have improved, and BTC's risk appetite has also warmed up.
However, BTC is still in a typical "half-baked" market. 63,000 is short-term support, 65,000 is strong resistance above, and both are missing a breakout catalyst. After the CPI data was released, BTC only edged up 0.3%, indicating that what the market truly craves is the engine of "rate cuts," not the placebo of "no rate hikes." If expectations for rate cuts further ferment and risk appetite continues to rise, BTC will have a chance to challenge the resistance above 65,000. But before a clear signal appears, the market is likely to remain volatile, with the risks of chasing gains far outweighing the opportunities; timing is more important than blindly guessing direction.
How far can this AI storage rally go? SK Hynix has fully capitalized on HBM's first-mover advantage, Micron has capacity replenishment and NAND flexibility, while SanDisk is a flexible target in the pure NAND cycle—which one do you think best? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section.

$SKHYNIX $BTC $ETH One thing many people find most puzzling right now: earlier market trading led to the idea that the Fed might continue raising interest rates, with BTC, ETH, and high-beta assets collectively crashing valuations. Now, July CPI has been moderately delivered, and the probability of a rate hike in September has dropped from about 54% before the data release to around 40%. By the simplest logic, as negative news weakens, shouldn't the assets that have fallen the hardest should be the first to recover? (reuters.com) But the market did not move that way. The reason is: the disappearance of negative news only means "fewer reasons to sell," not "the money you bought has returned." These are two completely different sets of funding logic. The previous round of declines was indeed influenced by rising expectations of rate hikes, but macro news acted more like triggers. What truly amplified the decline were the large amount of profit-taking positions, leveraged positions, and risk exposure to overvalued assets accumulated earlier. Once risk appetite weakens, the first thing money usually does is not to judge whether the long-term story has changed, but to: reduce positions→ reduce leverage → lock in profits→ increase cash ratios. After these positions are sold, they won't automatically buy back the way they came, just because a CPI meets expectations. This is also why BTC is currently acting so "awkward"—it is currently around $63,600, and intraday it is still trading between $63,267 and $64,298. The macro environment is now more favorable than a few days ago, but a breakout near 65,000 remains difficult. This illustrates the current market problem that has shifted from: "Will the Fed become more hawkish?" Gradually switch to: "Who."Main reasons for OKB's strength: reshaping the deflationary model, the closed loop of the X Layer ecosystem, and fundamental revaluation led to strategic cooperation with ICE; There is a significant gap between current valuations and the $25 billion platform valuation, and the market is pricing in the room for upside gains.
Deflation Model Reshaped: Supply-side tightening
- Total Lock-up and Burning: 65.25 million OKB were burned at once, permanently locking 21 million tokens, and the smart contract issuance feature was removed, establishing a deflationary model.
- Dual-chain integration: Shutting down OKT Chain, OKT is swapped for OKB at a 1:9.5 ratio, achieving ecosystem and value unification, reducing competition, and strengthening OKB's core position.
- Buyback and Burn: Continuing the quarterly buyback and burn mechanism, OKB is continuously recovered from circulation to enhance long-term scarcity.
Ecosystem Closed-loop: X Layer + Exchange OS drives demand
- X Layer positioning: Established as OKX's sole core public blockchain, based on ZK technology, compatible with Ethereum, targeting a TPS of about 5000.
- Exchange OS staking: Developers who build trading marketplaces need to stake OKB, bringing new lock-in and demand.
- Ecosystem Integration: OKX Wallet and OKX Pay form a flywheel of "exchange-wallet-payment-blockchain" with public chains, driving OKB's use in fees, staking, voting, and other scenarios.
- External Scenarios: OKB has expanded to about 80 application scenarios worldwide, covering payments, lending, wealth management, and lifestyle services, forming external value support.
Fundamental Revaluation: Strategic cooperation with ICE
- Investment and Valuation: ICE, the parent company of the NYSE, invested in OKX, with the platform valued at $25 billion, significantly higher than OKB's fully circulating market capitalization, creating room for revaluation.
- Products and Channels: ICE plans to launch US-regulated cryptocurrency futures at OKX spot prices; OKX intends to provide its users with compliant access to ICE U.S. FUTURES and NYSE tokenized stocks.
- Institutional endorsement: Strategic cooperation enhances brand and compliance image, boosting confidence for both organizations and users.
Room for catch-up: Valuation gap and platform strength
- Valuation gap: OKB's fully circulating market cap differs by more than ten times from the platform's $25 billion company valuation, and the catch-up logic is priced in by the market.
- Platform strength: OKX reserves are about $26 billion, with over 120 million users and a 24-hour trading volume exceeding $10 billion, providing strong fundamental support for OKB.
- Fees and Security: Competitive transaction fee rates, implementing 1:1 proof of reserves since 2023, and establishing a $10 billion protection fund to enhance security and transparency.
Technical aspects and trading references
- Price and momentum: On August 12, the price was around $95.95, approaching the $100 mark; the price has risen about 107.46% over the past year and about 21.64% over the past 30 days, showing strong momentum.
- Risk warning: RSI around 75.04, in the overbought zone, with potential short-term pullback pressure $OKB Brothers in the crypto world share a common experience: no matter how much money is in the account, it always ends up fully invested. Knowing it's more flexible to keep some ammunition, knowing it's more cost-effective to add when it drops, knowing it's fully invested and just hoping it rises with no room to move. But they just can't hold onto their positions. Every time I open a position, I put all the money I can use into it. Why is that? You know the market will fall. There are rises and falls—this is the most basic common sense in financial markets, and everyone understands it. But in reality, this common sense fails. When the market is rising, emotions are activated, and everyone is discussing how much more it can rise—the knowledge that "the market will fall" is still in your head, but its voice has become very quiet. Another voice was even louder: This time prices will keep rising. I have to seize this opportunity—I can't afford to miss out. This isn't your IQ problem; it's a common response of the human brain when emotionally activated. Staying awake in moments of greed violates the default settings of the human nervous system. The real reason for being fully invested is not to judge that the market will keep rising. Being fully invested doesn't require a decision. If you choose to enter a 70% position, you make an active judgment—I think now is not the time to go all in, so I keep 30% and wait for the right opportunity. This judgment carries risks. If the price rises directly and the 30% is missed, that's a misjudgment. But full positions are different. A full position means "I've gone in everything, now let's watch the market." Without proactive judgment, there is no initiativeAs of 17:00 on August 13, 2026 (Beijing time), BTC was quoted at $63,465, down 0.7% in 24 hours and down 1.8% over seven days; ETH was quoted at $1,881, up 0.45% in 24 hours; SOL was at $75.2, DOGE at $0.071. The Fear and Greed Index is 27, indicating the market is still in the fear zone. The market is flat, but there are more interesting things hidden in the derivatives positions.
Looking at Binance's hourly liquidation samples, the liquidation structures of $BTC and ETH are completely different. ETH saw hourly long liquidations of $5.359 million and hourly short liquidations of $5.722 million, both of which were heavily slaughtered; In the BTC sample, hourly long liquidations totaled $4.303 million, while short liquidations were only $1.102 million, clearly a one-sided blow. This set of numbers shows that ETH's short-term funds are heavily leveraged on both long and short sides, while BTC liquidations are more like a confirmation of direction after a trend emerges—once the price breaks through a key level, those who bet in the wrong direction are wiped out in one go, clean and decisive.
Why is there such a difference? BTC's current holding structure has a high proportion of institutional and ETF funds; these people are either present or absent, and rarely engage in two-way betting. On August 12, the market liquidated $187 million, with long positions at 122 million and shorts at 64 million, nearly 79,000 liquidated. BTC's funding rate was 0.0066%, with a long-short ratio of 1.85. Bulls crowded but with a relatively consistent direction—long when it drops, they clear; when it rises, they liquidate. Liquidation orders basically follow the trend. ETH is different; its trading capital is more aggressive. One group gambles to catch up with the rally, another gambles on a failed rebound. Both groups leverage simultaneously, resulting in a slight price movement: one side crashes, then the other side crashes. On Binance, the long-short ratio of ETHUSDT has reached 71.4% to 28.6%, with bulls extremely crowded. However, of the $25.13 million ETH liquidated in the past 24 hours, 70% were longs—these crowded bulls are repeatedly being harvested, and the bears are not gaining any advantage.
The macro backdrop has provided a stage for this kind of game. The US July CPI released on August 12 was 3.4% year-on-year, down from 3.5% in June, in line with expectations. The market was neither excited nor panicked, and BTC was stuck in a box between $62,000 and $66,000. Expectations of a US-Iran ceasefire boosted risk appetite a bit, but the real variable is the PPI at 20:30 tonight. This dilemma environment is precisely the easiest to feed ETH's two-way squeeze play—without a trend, only mutual struggling remains.
So the core contradiction now is clear: BTC liquidations tell you where the trend is, ETH liquidations show how chaotic emotions are. ETH has multiple moving averages supporting the bottom between 1850 and 1880 USD, and the 100-day moving average above 1922 USD has been held since July 26. Both bulls and bears have repeatedly been forced into positions within an extremely narrow space, indicating the market has not formed a consensus expectation for ETH. But leverage will not always be stacked in both directions. Once PPI or liquidity gives a clear signal, ETH's squeezed positions will be released in the same direction, and its volatility will likely be much fiercer than BTC's. BTC first checks whether it can hold at $63,000; if not, look at 62,000; $ETH Focus on 1850 and 1922; whichever breaks first will trigger the next wave of liquidation.🌐 THE MARKET MOVES ON MACRO — BUT CRYPTO GROWS UNDERNEATH THE NOISE
Short-term crypto price action is often dominated by the same forces:
🏦 Fed expectations — Rate-cut or rate-hike bets can quickly change liquidity conditions.
💰 ETF flows — Persistent inflows or outflows can influence institutional positioning and market sentiment.
📊 Inflation data — CPI, PPI and labor-market reports can trigger sharp repricing across risk assets.
🏛️ Institutional demand — More capital entering through funds, treasuries and financial products can reshape market structure.
But there’s another layer that receives far less attention.
The underlying network economy.
While traders react to every candle, on-chain activity continues developing:
🔹 More wallets and users interacting with protocols
🔹 Developers building applications and infrastructure
🔹 Stablecoin liquidity expanding across networks
🔹 DeFi and tokenized assets creating new use cases
🔹 Blockchain activity becoming increasingly integrated into financial markets
This is why short-term price and long-term adoption can tell completely different stories.
A market can be weak while its infrastructure continues improving.
Likewise, a token can rally aggressively without meaningful growth underneath it.
The important distinction is price momentum versus fundamental network growth.
Macro tells us where liquidity may move next.
ETF flows show where institutional capital is positioning.
But users, developers, transactions and real economic activity reveal whether the ecosystem is actually expanding.
📌 Watch both layers.
The market trades the narrative today.
Adoption determines whether the narrative survives tomorrow.

#AIInfraEarningsWatch 🚨 Is Bitcoin’s Bear-Market Bottom Starting to Take Shape?
The $BTC chart may be pointing toward a major support zone around $54K.
Several independent signals are lining up around the same area:
📉 Technical structure:
A 4H rounded-top breakdown and the daily bear-flag structure both project toward the $54K region after BTC lost the $60K level.
📊 On-chain metrics:
Bitcoin’s realized price is currently around $53K–$54K, while the 1.0x MVRV level is also close to this zone. Miner production costs around $55K–$56K add another layer of potential support.
🏦 Institutional expectations:
Several market researchers have identified the low-$50Ks as an important downside area, although some more bearish scenarios place BTC closer to $40K–$46K.
🌎 Macro backdrop:
With expectations for further Fed tightening cooling, the macro environment could gradually become less hostile toward risk assets. If the tightening cycle is truly nearing its end, Bitcoin’s bottoming process could strengthen.
The key takeaway isn’t that $54K is guaranteed.
Rather, multiple technical, on-chain, and fundamental indicators are converging around this level, making it an area worth watching closely.
BTC has already experienced a much smaller drawdown than previous major bear markets, while ETFs and institutional demand have changed the market structure.
If $BTC eventually reaches the $54K region, the question may not simply be “How bad is this?”
It could become:
“Is this where long-term buyers start paying attention?” 👀

#CPIEasesHikeBets #AIInfraEarningsWatch #SpaceX99%ValueFromAI More and more signs are starting to taste like the latter half of a bear market.
The proportion of short-term BTC holders has been steadily declining, a phenomenon that has appeared in the late stages of previous bear markets.
Short-term traders are decreasing, new funds are inactive, and market attention is declining; Meanwhile, chips are gradually accumulating in the hands of long-term holders.
The hardest phase of a bear market is often not a daily plunge.
Instead, it fell to the end, with fewer and fewer people even discussing it.
When will the short-term holders' share rebound from its lows next?
That means new participants and new demands are entering the market again.Last night's CPI was released, but BTC fell instead of rising? A beginner shares some personal thoughts
Guys, last night the US July CPI came out: year-on-year 3.4%, core 2.5%, month-on-month 0.1%. Everything was exactly as expected, not missing a bit.
Logically, inflation has dropped, rate hike expectations should cool, and risk assets should rise, right? But BTC instead surged from 64,400 and then retreated, still fluctuating around 64,000. Gold, on the other hand, broke through 4,400 and rose quite well. I was puzzled—why didn't Bitcoin follow suit?
I'm just guessing on my own—maybe "meeting expectations" means "no surprises," and the market has already priced in their expectations. And although inflation has dropped a bit, it's still far from the Fed's 2% target. Housing costs are still rising, energy prices are still high year-on-year, and it feels like inflation is sticky.
As for the Fed, the probability of keeping rates unchanged in September is 59.9%, but there's still a 40% chance of a rate hike. It's just a pause in rate hikes, not a cut, so it doesn't feel like real easing has yet to come to an end. Goldman Sachs even says they might not cut rates in 2026, and just thinking about it gives me a headache.
Another thing: short-term U.S. Treasury yields have fallen, but long-term yields are still quite high. With such a large fiscal deficit, long-term rates can't come down, so risk assets are still being weighed down.
There's another PPI data to be released tonight, with the market expecting 4.9%. If it's also low, it could be positive; If it exceeds expectations, the probability of a rate hike will return. I think this is even more critical than the CPI.
To sum up my personal view: BTC will likely remain volatile in the short term, so I won't rush to hold heavy positions. I'll first look at tonight's PPI before making any decisions. After all, I'm a beginner, 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, and I'll learn from it too.
$BTC $ETH $OKB #7月CPI平稳落地, expectations for a rate hike in September have cooled #马斯克称AI将占SpaceX价值99%
During a 30-minute all-hands meeting, Musk tore up and rewrote the valuation playbook for SpaceX (SPCX).
Previously, people priced SpaceX as "rocket + Starlink," but after the August 11 meeting, it shifted to pricing as an "AI computing power company." The old man's exact words were harsh: "Not impossible, but definitely—in September, AI revenue exceeded all other businesses combined, and in Q4 it surpassed it significantly; In four or five years, AI will account for 99% of SpaceX's value, and Rocket Starlink will keep 1% combined." "
The market believed half of it on the spot. The SPCX climbed from a low of 104.83 on August 3 to 146.15 on August 12, up about 40% over five days, and touched 149.6 intraday. But on the 11th, it actually opened high and closed low at 133.29, down 3.93%—showing that funds were swallowing the stimulant of "500 billion in revenue" while also looking at the 45 billion yuan annual capital expenditure bill, feeling uneasy.
Why is this story both confident and frightening? Looking at Q2 numbers: total revenue $7.814 billion, AI business $2.56 billion (YoY +247%, quarter-on-quarter +213%), Starlink $4.291 billion, launches $962 million. AI isn't number one yet, but the slope is steepest. Elon Musk's year-end target for next year is 10 gigawatts of computing power (currently 1.4 GW), and at $30-50 per watt, that's $300–$500 billion in annual revenue. For comparison: Nvidia's total revenue last year was only $60 billion. That's like letting a business that's not yet fully commercialized grow eight times Nvidia's in five years—not growth, but a change of species.
The architecture is also connected: Terafab (Texas's own chip factory + Tesla partnership) to train Grok on the ground, Starmind satellites for inference in space, Starlink as the transmission pipeline, and Starship for launching payloads into space. Grok 4.6 arrives this week, 4.7 is three weeks later, Grok 5, which flies all SpaceX's engineering data, will be released at the end of year 5, Cursor has secured a $60 billion stock acquisition, Morgan Stanley has revalued its AI business implied valuation from $12 per share, and in a bull market scenario, SPCX is expected to pay $600.
But when this news reaches the BTC community, it needs to be looked at in two layers:
In the short term—SpaceX pushed its AI infrastructure capital spending to the 45 billion yuan level per year, igniting risk appetite in tech stocks. BTC, as a high-beta asset, followed tech sentiment. Last night, the Nasdaq was up and it was also red. The logic is that "AI burns money→ fiat credit continues to be printed out to feed computing power→ non-sovereign assets benefit."
The mid-term—deeper narrative is: 10 gigawatts of computing power, a 500 billion revenue target, 45 billion annual Capex—behind every figure is the ongoing consumption of US dollar credit. With each round of AI infrastructure expansion, the market feels more like "fiat currency is being diluted in terms of purchasing power," and BTC's "non-sovereign hardtop" story adds another brick. Rockets are tools, Starlink is the tube, AI is the endpoint, and BTC is the bystander beneficiary outside the chain of fiat consumption.
But don't get carried away. A story that can boost the market doesn't mean it can close the bill. Q2 AI revenue was 2.6 billion, 192 times short of 500 billion; 10 gigawatts need to grow sevenfold from 1.4 gigawatts in 16 months, with power, chips, cooling, and launch windows all under hard constraints; SpaceX's quarterly Capex was 18.4 billion, and GAAP is still in the red. Morgan Stanley expects $300-600 to be discounted three years from now, not cash next month.
So when SPCX reached 146, my short positions continued to bear floating losses (like -1925%)—not because I didn't believe in AI, but because I didn't believe 500 billion would grow out of a company-wide meeting. Wait until September when AI revenue really surpasses Starlink, when 10 gigawatts have a power protocol, when Cursor completes Grok 5 benchmark scores—then I'll decide whether to switch the story to financial reports. At current prices, 99% is narrative, 1% is rocket, and I choose to wait for the numbers to speak within 1%.
Stories can pull the market, but they can't be eaten as food.
$SNDK $BTC $ETH 原油真正的多头逻辑，正在从“战争预期”变成“现实缺口”
目前国际原油供应持续收紧，油价重新站上80美元。
▪️ 布伦特原油：约88.5—88.9美元/桶
▪️ 币安WTI原油：81.32美元/桶
IEA最新月报释放了一个非常明确的信号：全球石油供应正在比市场此前预期收缩得更快。
几组数据值得放在一起看：
▪️ 2026年全球石油供应预计减少 430万桶/日
▪️ 上月预测还是减少 370万桶/日
▪️ 全球供应预计比需求低 127万桶/日
▪️ 此前预计的缺口只有 86万桶/日
▪️ 第三季度供应缺口预计达到 180万桶/日
▪️ 7月全球可观察石油库存减少 6900万桶
最关键的是中东出口。
中东石油装船量在7月初一度恢复至约：2000万桶/日
但到了7月下旬，又快速降至：1200万桶/日，每天约800万桶的出口落差。
背后的核心仍然是霍尔木兹海峡通行受限、中东基础设施和油轮持续遭遇安全威胁，以及红海航线的不确定性。
目前海湾地区仍有约 830万桶/日 的产量没有恢复。
换句话说：原油市场正在从“担心供应中断”，逐渐走向“供应确实没有回来”。
这也意味着，市场并非完全没有定价中东出口下降和全球供应缺口，但距离极端恐慌仍有一定空间。
如果未来几周中东装船量继续维持在1200万桶/日附近，库存持续下降，WTI就可能进一步向85美元甚至更高位置寻找新的平衡。
现在的原油市场，本质上是两股力量正面碰撞：
供应端：出口受阻、产量下降、库存快速消耗。
需求端：高油价压制消费，全球需求被持续下修。
短期来看，供应收缩的速度明显快于需求下降，油价下方仍有支撑。
真正决定下一轮方向的，是两个问题：
第一，霍尔木兹海峡能否恢复稳定通行；
第二，中东出口能否重新回到接近2000万桶/日。
如果装船量长期维持低位，库存继续下降，那么这就不再是一次短期地缘事件，而是一个真实、持续的全球供应缺口。
反过来，如果霍尔木兹海峡恢复稳定通行，中东产量和出口迅速回升，叠加全球需求继续走弱，80美元上方也可能出现明显回吐。

* Glory of the Past: Three years ago, Big Brother spent 34.17 ETH (about $64,000 at the time) to buy BAYC #5715. At that time, he was the absolute faith of the NFT world.
* Last night, the transaction price was only 8.3 ETH (about $15,600).
* Lost 75% on the ETH standard, and even worse on the US dollar standard, losing everything. The worst part is, he only withdrew 1,540 USDC from the exchange—a small amount that, for a former whale, was like "loose change" buying a pack of cigarettes at a convenience store, indirectly showing that the big brother's cash flow is indeed extremely tight now.
The reason the big brother was so humble and willing to cut losses was to keep his 2,800 ETH (about $5.3 million) long position.
* Clearing price: $1,863.08
* Current market conditions: Based on the data just now, ETH is hovering around $1,896.

#基本面研报 #加密 #研究 #OKXOrbit🇺🇸 US Crypto Regulation Update: Congress Stalls, SEC Steps Forward
The long-awaited CLARITY Act has hit another roadblock.
Although the bill passed the House and cleared committee, the full Senate vote was postponed on August 6 and is now expected to be revisited on September 15. The market’s estimated probability of passage this year has also fallen sharply, from around 82% to just 21%.
With Congress moving slowly, the SEC is taking a more active role.
SEC Chair Atkins is pushing a new regulatory approach that would shift the agency away from relying mainly on enforcement and toward providing clearer rules, exemptions, and pathways for crypto businesses to operate compliantly.
But there’s an important catch: the August 14 action was only about whether to seek public comments. Actual implementation could still be years away, potentially not arriving until 2027.
So the immediate market impact may remain limited, but the bigger message is important: regulatory clarity could increasingly come from the executive branch even while Congress remains stuck.
From a market perspective, this could favor $BTC more than many altcoins.
Bitcoin already has a relatively clear regulatory identity, while numerous altcoins still face uncertainty around securities classification and potential enforcement.
The short-term picture is uncertain, but the long-term regulatory direction is becoming increasingly important for crypto.
$BTC $ETH
#CPIEasesHikeBets #AIInfraEarningsWatch #SpaceX99%ValueFromAI 🔥 This time, the market's real focus is no longer just on BTC price fluctuations, but on where the U.S. regulatory framework will go. Currently, there is a very noteworthy divergence in U.S. crypto regulation: the SEC is actively pushing forward new crypto asset rules, while the CLARITY Act has been delayed until September. The latest news shows that the SEC plans to discuss a "customized issuance regime" for certain crypto asset issuance activities on August 14, aiming to provide a clearer regulatory path for specific digital assets. Meanwhile, the Senate has delayed the push for the CLARITY Act, with the market currently focusing on the time window pointing to mid-September. This means: regulation will not stop completely just because Congress is temporarily stalled. 🟢 The SEC is proactively advancing, which could become a new catalyst. If the SEC ultimately introduces issuance and disclosure rules better suited to the crypto industry, the biggest change may not be short-term pricing, but rather: 🏦 lowering 📑 the threshold for institutional participation, clearer 💰 token issuance rules, easier 🌐 access for compliant capital, and reduced legal uncertainty for U.S. crypto projects. In fact, the SEC and CFTC already issued explanations in March this year for certain crypto assets and related transactions, further distinguishing between digital commodities, digital securities, Stablecoins and other categories, and also involve activities like staking and airdrops. The relevant interpretation took effect on March 23. This indicates that the U.S. regulatory framework has actually begun to gradually take shape. 🟠 --- But the CLARITY Act二饼1874接哆，1899附近离场。

The core issue isn't about high prices, but that the Fed simply doesn't dare to raise rates anymore. Housing costs have shrunk, instantly draining the confidence to keep raising rates. At this point, big money has already set the stage: short-term bond yields keep falling, the gold market pulls off a dramatic reversal, and even cryptocurrencies take the opportunity to hold their positions tightly, holding their range.
Everyone is waiting for production data, but it's basically just a smokescreen. After so much pressure on interest rates, consumer spending has long been overdrawn. Even if corporate costs fluctuate, it's hard to pass on to ordinary people. To put it bluntly, the current market is just funds frantically finding an outlet. Compared to guessing policies, seeing the rhythm of asset rotation and following liquidity is the real wiser.

Elon Musk recently revealed to SpaceX employees that AI business could account for 99% of SpaceX's total value over the next five years. Meanwhile, SpaceX is massively expanding its AI computing infrastructure and plans to increase AI computing capacity to 10GW by 2027 
This statement is actually very crucial.
Because this means the market's valuation logic for SpaceX is changing:
Previously, when looking at Rockets and Starlink,
Let's start looking at AI now.
SpaceX completed its acquisition of xAI this year, and the strategic direction after the merger is very clear—to integrate AI models, computing power, satellite communications, and space infrastructure. SpaceX's IPO document has also explicitly listed AI as one of its core business pillars 
Why might AI become SpaceX's biggest source of value?
Because what SpaceX truly wants to do may not simply be "making a Grok."
Instead, it is about building a complete AI infrastructure:
Chips→ Data Centers→ Computing Power→ Grok → Starlink→ Space Data Centers.
This is also why Musk has always emphasized extending AI computing power into space.
If demand for AI computing power continues to surge in the future, SpaceX's Starlink network, launch capacity, power supply, and data center construction capabilities could all become assets that set it apart from traditional AI companies.
But there is also a huge risk here
99% is a judgment about the future, not today's profit contribution.
Currently, SpaceX's core revenue still comes from connectivity businesses like Starlink. Recent financial reports show that connectivity revenue in the second quarter was about $4.29 billion, and remains the company's main source of income. Meanwhile, the company is making massive capital investments in AI infrastructure and other projects 
So the market is currently trading with:
"Will SpaceX become a giant in AI infrastructure in the future?"
Instead of:
"SpaceX is already an AI company today."
The difference between the two is significant.
What does this mean for the AI industry chain?
If SpaceX really develops in this direction, the beneficiaries won't be limited to SpaceX.
It requires:
GPU → Nvidia
High-speed network → network equipment manufacturers
Storage → SanDisk, Hynix, Micron, etc
Power → Power infrastructure
Data centers → AI infrastructure industry chain
Therefore, if SpaceX continues to increase its AI capital expenditure, it is essentially further increasing demand for the entire AI infrastructure industry chain.
This also explains why the market has recently focused more on AI financing, data centers, chips, storage, and power.
The story of AI is gradually shifting from "model competition" to "infrastructure competition."
In short:
The real signal Musk is sending this time is not that SpaceX is abandoning rockets, but that the core of SpaceX's future valuation may gradually shift from being an "aerospace company" to "AI + computing power + satellite networks + space infrastructure platform."
But a 99% value share is a very aggressive long-term goal. Whether it can ultimately be realized depends on whether AI revenue, computing power utilization, and capital returns can truly be realized. $BTC #马斯克称AI将占SpaceX价值99% After seeing this financial report on AI infrastructure, I just want to laugh: demand is fierce, and spending is ruthless. CoreWeave orders accumulated $104 billion. Oracle has put up more than 600 billion yuan in orders. AMD Computer's revenue doubled in direct succession. And what happened? CoreWeave posted a net loss of 600 million yuan, with interest expenses doubling—a classic case of putting on a show and burning cash just to save face. But don't just look at their losses /AI. The more these people lose money and scramble for power and cards, the more it shows: the pricing power of the computing power war is no longer in the hands of crypto. Nvidia's cards, Texas's electricity, and data center grid connection approvals have all been stockpiled as strategic materials by AI cloud manufacturers. ASICs used in mining machines can't run large models, but the grid-connected power, substations, data center shells, and cooling systems in the hands of miners are precisely the hard assets AI hosting lacks. AI earnings per megawatt are 3 to 25 times that of mining, and you can sign long-term contracts of 12 to 20 years; On the mining side, after the halving, block rewards were cut in half, hash price dropped to just over $30, and the cash cost per $BTC for listed mining companies was $76,000 to $80,000, with market prices still below the bottom. Every coin mined cost money. Money, electricity, and hardware resources are being snatched away by AI one after another; miners are not bystanders but the ones being sucked in—this is where the crypto world comes to work. What impact does this have on the crypto world? Don't listen to those experts' nonsense; just three points: In the short term, it's just for fun. Whenever Nvidia farts, Bitcoin follows suit. AI earnings report is strong, and the market is strong[Crypto Scenario]
#芯片股领涨, Korean stocks rebound over 22% in ten days
I'm Script Bro. The chip sector has once again become a focus of capital, with Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix continuing to strengthen. The core logic behind this is still storage demand driven by AI. However, I believe this round of rally shouldn't be based solely on sentiment; the real key is whether subsequent orders can be fulfilled and whether demand growth can support the new cycle of the storage industry.
From the market perspective, SK Hynix's recent performance has clearly outperformed most tech assets. After a rapid rebound from a low point, it peaked near 1154 before now falling back to fluctuate around 1100. In the short term, prices have fallen back below MA5 and MA13, with MACD red bars shortening and weakening, indicating that funds are beginning to cash out after continuous gains. However, the overall structure has not been completely destroyed. Currently, prices remain at support areas near EMA144 and EMA169. If the price can regain the 1115-1125 range, there is still room for a short-term rebound.
Actually, this logic is the same as the SanDisk, Micron, and Hynix that Script Brother has been discussing before. The AI market has now shifted from purely speculating on concepts to gradually moving into a phase focused on industry realization. In the early stages, the market speculated on AI computing power, but later funds began to seek real benefits, and storage is a crucial part of this. However, after any sector rises rapidly, short-term adjustments are needed; it's impossible to just rise and not fall every day.
Looking at the overall market, after last night's CPI met expectations, expectations for Fed rate cuts have risen, and the US tech sector has remained relatively stable, providing sentiment support for AI-related assets. For the crypto sector, the improvement in the macro environment is also helpful, with increased liquidity expectations and a warming risk appetite, giving BTC a chance to recover.
Currently, Bitcoin is still in a volatile phase, with short-term attention on support near 63,000 and resistance above 65,000. If expectations for further rate cuts continue to ferment and risk appetite picks up, BTC may usher in a new breakout opportunity. But the market is not trending one-sidedly; the risk of chasing gains still exists, and timing matters more than direction.
Do you think this round of AI storage market can continue? SK Hynix, SanDisk, Micron—which one do you think you favor? Let's talk in the comments $BTC $ETH $SKHYNIX $BTC $ETH — Midday Market Update 📊
BTC is back around $63.9K while ETH is approaching $1.9K, but this recovery still has two major questions behind it.
BTC has climbed steadily from roughly $63.35K to nearly $64K without much volatility. ETH has been stronger, moving from around $1,872 to almost $1,900 and recovering most of the post-CPI decline.
But here’s the first issue: will traders stick to their plan?
If the strategy was to short ETH near $1,900, reaching that level shouldn’t suddenly turn the plan into a long just because price kept rising. The past few days already punished traders who repeatedly chased strength and tried to catch every dip.
The second question is even more important: why has BTC defended the $63.1K–$63.2K area for three consecutive days?
Is this becoming a genuine support zone, or are sellers simply waiting for another catalyst to break it?
If support holds, the $63K–$64K region could be the base of the correction. If it fails, these rebounds could become bull traps.
For now, the short-term recovery is real, but the bigger direction remains unclear.
📌 BTC range: $63.28K–$64.47K
📌 ETH range: $1,872–$1,927
A breakout above resistance could confirm a reversal, while losing support would strengthen the bearish case.
BTC fell more than $2.3K from $65.5K to $63.16K in three days, but has only recovered toward $63.9K over the following two days.
So what do you think?
Is the recovery just getting started, or is this simply a pause before the downtrend continues? 👀
#CPIEasesHikeBets #AIInfraEarningsWatch #SpaceX99%ValueFromAI Open bulls, hidden bears: On August 13, dual-currency sentiment misaligned
On August 13, BTC was quoted at $63,682, down 0.34% in 24 hours, down 1.81% over seven days. While the market appeared calm, derivatives accounts were bleeding—in the past 24 hours, long liquidations totaled $35.59 million, nearly 90% of all BTC liquidations online, with a long-short ratio of 1.85, and 65% of accounts were crowded on the long side. This structure can be put simply: everyone knows long positions, so every downward insertion is a targeted harvest. After one wave of liquidation, the next batch of bottom-fishing leveraged comes in, repeating the cycle. Fortunately, BTC open interest fell 4.16% in one week to $47.35 billion, indicating that this round of deleveraging is already halfway done, and crowding is being passively digested.
What really matters is $ETH. It doesn't have liquidation data of equal granularity, but its price action has left its cards out: in the early hours of August 13, ETH struggled around $1,890, and Robinhood predicted that contracts with ETH above $1,894.89 would sell only 0.1 cents—the market barely priced in a rebound. This is what I call 'hidden bears': there's no long-short ratio to screenshot, but pessimism is written in every odds. ETH has been grinding from $2,330 in May all the way to now, down nearly 20% in three months. Every rebound is driven back by spot selling, and bears don't even need to push back—bulls give up on their own.
This creates the most interesting mismatch right now: $BTC short sellers are "event-based," profiting by clearing open long positions, coming and going quickly; ETH short sellers are "position-type," relying on time and endurance, betting on the ETH/BTC exchange rate continuing to hit bottoms. The Fear and Greed Index range of 26 to 38 also confirms this—the market is not panic, it's numbness.
There are two scenarios for the next scenario: if BTC's bullish liquidation pauses and holds above $63,000, capital attention will shift to ETH short covering. After all, when odds reach extremes, a small amount of spot buying can trigger a short squeeze, with $1,950 above being the first zone of bear stop-loss concentration; Conversely, if ETH falls below $1,850 and feeds hidden bears into an overt trend, it will drag down the entire altcoin sector. Tonight's US July PPI is a variable. If inflation exceeds expectations again, a stronger dollar will first hit ETH, which has less liquidity. My judgment: BTC is an open card oscillation, ETH is a hidden card direction. Betting on ETH odds changes is more useful than tracking BTC's long-short ratio.BTW touched $0.27 today. After reading the market, my first reaction wasn't "How many times can it multiply?" but rather that chasing in at this level already leaves very little room for error. For most of the first time, it was grinding around 0.06–0.08. Now, the price is around 0.25, with a 24-hour trading volume exceeding $57 million, directly surpassing the previous June high. The trend is strong, so there's no need to argue about that. But this round of rally is not entirely a sudden improvement in the project's fundamentals. BitcoinFi narrative, wallet-side exposure, yield activities, plus contract short covering, and several funds pooling together have pushed the price so quickly. There are two things to fear most in this kind of market: first, mistaking short-term sentiment for long-term value; Second, only after reaching resistance levels can one hold back heavy positions. So I don't guess the top, just waiting for the market to give a signal. I focus on three positions. 0.27 is the most immediate pressure. If it breaks out on increased volume and can hold on on a pullback, it means it's not a pin insertion, and only then will there be a chance to continue watching 0.30 or even 0.35. I won't chase the first breakout; I'd rather earn less and wait for confirmation. 0.19–0.21 are the areas I'm more interested in. This is the breakout zone of the previous high point. The price is really strong; if you retrace here, you should see the continued support. If the price drops and no one buys in, the quality of this round of gains needs to be reassessed. Once 0.19 is effectively broken, the short-term logic basically changes. At that time, don't comfort yourself by doing short-term trades while comforting yourself with long-term trades. Look for around 0.15 below; if the rebound fails to recover, risk should be controlled. There's another easily overlooked one$HKDAP — issued by Anchorpoint (Standard Chartered x Animoca x HKT), 1:1 to the Hong Kong dollar. Beta access dropped this week. HashKey already ran mint/redeem. OSL's onboarding too. Not retail yet. Institutions + pro investors only for now — retail's targeted for late 2026 if conditions allow. Why this isn't just another HKD wrapper: ▸ HK is actively pushing RWAs on-chain (bonds, funds) ▸ every one of those needs a trusted fiat rail to settle against ▸ that's the lane $HKDAP is built for — notThe quieter the market, the more you watch where the money goes.
ETFs had a net flow of about $850 million in the first week of August, and July's CPI of 3.4% pushed the probability of a rate hike in September below 40%. The Fed's "not becoming more hawkish" is the best breeding ground for liquidity.
The sequence is clear: ETF capital flow→ Federal Reserve stance → liquidity gates→ BTC leading the way, → ETH catching up, → SOL+ high-quality counterfeit funds to attract funds.
BTC stable, ETH follows, which is healthy; Altcoin trading starts to show volume, which is the real season.
This kind of narrow sideways movement is often not due to lack of market activity, but rather smart money re-exchanging.
Don't just focus on candlesticks to guess sentiment—focus on this chain: ETFs won't withdraw, the US dollar won't withdraw, BTC won't break down—the rest is just waiting for the sound of a counterfeit rotation.
The quiet period is when the largest position is allocated.
