One coin fades, another one takes its place. 🔄
The crypto market really does feel like a spring breeze bringing everything back to life. 🌱 Altcoins keep rotating and pumping, as if liquidity is constantly searching for the next target.
$ACU has only doubled so far. I wouldn’t rush to short it here. With its relatively small market cap, even a modest wave of buying could trigger another explosive move. Keep it on watch. 👀
Just look at what happened with $BICO , $APR , and $CAP a few days ago.
They all experienced massive one-day moves, but in hindsight, that surge may have only marked the beginning rather than the end.
The real question isn’t which coin pumped today.
It’s which coin is next to attract the liquidity. 💧📈
#CPIPPIEaseFedSplit #AIInfraEarningsWatch $APR Prices are rising, but funds haven't kept up.
This is not a very good sign.
In the past half hour, the APR has risen by nearly 5%, but the OI indicator is trending downward, which to some extent indicates that funds are not flowing in but are actually flowing out.
This is a less healthy bullish signal, and often the market tends to drop rapidly at the end.
Additionally, its transaction volume has gradually decreased, reflecting that the market has gradually returned to calm and is no longer chasing it.
When the hype was high, they didn't take the opportunity to break new highs.
After the hype faded, the bears had already liquidated a large area.
And the bulls have already secured their positions and are unlikely to enter the market easily.
Even Green Hair has opened many long orders here, earning several thousand USD.
Many people have made ten or twenty times their money and exited.
When more people make money, it means the main force earns less.
This is the consequence of the main players' delayed price control.
Leverage capital is used to push prices, but if you don't act quickly, it's easy to end up as a buyer.
If short-selling institutions target you during the process, then the show will be interesting.
Stop using those tricks to lure bulls and bears.
Just like the story of the wolf coming, after so many times, no one believes it.
For someone like me, I'd rather write an article and comment than even get involved.
It's because I feel this main force is a bit greedy, wanting to buy it all in.
So, there's no need to enter the market and become its food—it's that simple.
#CPI与PPI同步降温, rate hike divergence widens #财报观察员: AI infrastructure earnings report debuts at #马斯克称AI将占SpaceX价值99% $BTC #Strategy再卖1690枚BTC, corporate financial pools are diverging. At this level, short-term holders' costs are holding back at 68,700 yuan, while the median realized price is 63,000 yuan at the bottom, with spot trading volume hitting the lowest level since 2019. The market is as quiet as a sea before a storm...... Glassnode says this is the late bear market compression phase, but real demand signals have yet to appear. Core inflation fell back to 2.5% in July, the stock market hit a new high, but Bitcoin remains motionless—is this normal?Within one hour, 48 million was cleared in encrypted trading across the network, including 45.7 million in long liquidations and only 2.3 million in short positions, with long positions accounting for nearly 95.2%, indicating pure single-direction deleveraging.
In terms of exchange distribution, the three leading platforms accounted for over 80% of liquidations.
This decline instantly broke through the first liquidation cluster near 63,300, hitting a short-term low of around 62,720, with $BTC BTC experiencing a maximum drawdown of about 1.3% within one hour.
Let's look at the front-end contract data: last week, BTC was stuck in a narrow range of 63,000-65,000, with volatility continuously suppressed to low levels. The perpetual funding rate remained slightly positive at 0.015%-0.025%, indicating retail investors continued to open long positions, but the hype was not crazy. The overall long-short ratio of the three major exchanges was close to 1.7:1, with a long-short ratio of 1.54. Many short-term positions were betting on breaking above 65,000, with stop-losses piled up between 62,900 and 63,400, with highly overlapping positions.
The liquidation heatmap marked early: breaking below the $63,350 level means 442 million nominal long positions have entered the forced liquidation zone; the next major liquidation zone is 62,000-62,800, totaling about 516 million long risk positions. This hourly 48 million is only the first wave of release, far from triggering all potential liquidation positions below.
Scale comparison: Around 50 million in one hour is a moderate, short-term stamp. In extreme markets, one-hour liquidations generally break 200 to 300 million, and 24-hour heavy liquidations can push prices to over a billion. Looking at this time, this is a case of excessive sideways trading and one-sided positions caused by leverage relief, not a systemic crash.
After the liquidation, open interest across the entire network quickly fell by about 1.7%, meaning some leveraged funds left directly, but the overall holdings remained at a relatively high level, indicating that deleveraging was not thorough.
Macro supporting data: The 10-year US Treasury yield edged higher, and the market continued to lower its rate cut expectations for the year, with the first rate cut priced later. US BTC spot ETFs did not see large exits, but for several consecutive days, only small inflows of tens of millions were made, with clearly weak marginal buying and insufficient funds to support the 63,000 level. During the same period, the US Nasdaq weakened slightly, overall risk asset sentiment contracted, and BTC and growth stocks showed strong correlation, bearing selling pressure first.
Market details: The first to appear on the decline were several tens of millions worth of spot sell orders breaking below 63,380, not contract liquidation proactively starting the market. After the price break, the exchange's forced liquidation system automatically sells at the market price. Liquidity is insufficient in the short window, and sell orders further push the price down, leading to the liquidation of second and third long orders, forming self-reinforcement. Many long positions have leverage concentrated in the 10-20x range, with some positions above 30x, with very narrow margin for error. Any slight break in support triggers immediately.
Here are some key point data:
Holding above 63,000: Short-term liquidation pressure immediately subsides, and the consolidation pattern continues.
Falling below 62,800: Starting the second wave of long liquidation and release, with selling pressure significantly amplified.
Breakdown at 62000: Large-scale chain liquidation risk opens, and volatility will rapidly amplify.
Additionally, two layers of funds need to be distinguished: contract speculation is being concentrated and withdrawn, which is completely different from changes in long-term holders and institutional holdings. Currently, long-term on-chain holdings have not shown significant changes, and ETFs have not seen sustained redemptions; it is just that short-term leverage sentiment has collapsed.
Even if this round of bull markets is cleared all at once, it doesn't mean an immediate rebound. Currently, spot trading volume hasn't expanded in tandem, so there's no sign of a large amount of bottom-fishing funds entering the market. Whether it can hold steady going forward depends on the strength of spot market support, not on liquidation data.
The cumulative 24-hour liquidation has reached 146 million, and the gap between long-short liquidations has narrowed significantly, indicating that in the latter half of the decline, bears have also started to be swept away, and the one-way stampede phase has basically come to an end $ETH $SOL What MU should be most wary of right now may not be a huge price increase, but rather that the entire market has already accepted that "memory will only get more expensive."
This round of $MU logic is indeed very strong. AI servers continue to expand, and HBM has become one of the most important things alongside GPUs. As $NVDA and AMD move toward next-generation accelerators, their requirements for memory capacity and bandwidth are rising. At the same time, the supply of standard DRAM is also squeezed. The entire storage industry, which used to clear inventory in previous years, has suddenly reached a stage where people are starting to worry about "whether there will be enough supply."
This is also why $MU has recently gained particularly strong funding recognition.
Micron used to be most annoyed by cycles. DRAM prices rose, profits exploded, and Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron all expanded production together; Once capacity came out, prices started dropping again. So in the past, when the market saw MU's profits suddenly booming, the first reaction was usually not to offer higher valuations, but to ask: Is this the top of the cycle?
AI has temporarily rewritten this issue.
Because HBM is not ordinary memory. To put it another name, it requires more wafer capacity and is more complex. When manufacturers allocate more resources to producing high-margin HBM, the supply of regular DRAM tends to tighten. The result is a very comfortable situation: AI directly drives HBM demand while indirectly helping traditional memory prices.
Similar things are actually happening on SNDK's side. AI models are getting larger, and data centers need not only GPUs and HBMs but also large numbers of enterprise-grade SSDs to store data. So recently, the market has been buying from NVDA all the way to MU and SNDK, essentially betting on the same thing: the speed of AI infrastructure construction will always outpace supply chain expansion in the short term.
But what worries me most right now is precisely this consensus.
Once everyone knows HBM shortages, DRAM price hikes, and strong demand for enterprise SSDs, these things are no longer just expectations bad. For MU to achieve higher valuations, what it needs to prove is no longer "AI is great," but that demand in 2027 and 2028 can still absorb new capacity.
Samsung won't always watch SK Hynix and Micron make money, nor will SNDK voluntarily give up expanding once NAND profits start to materialize. The most classic cycle in the semiconductor industry is like this: expand production when supply is most scarce, and sow the seeds of oversupply when it's most profitable.
So now, when looking at MU, I will look at NVDA and SNDK together.
NVDA told me whether AI capital spending has cooled, SNDK told me if the storage boom is still spreading, and MU's most important concerns are HBM supply, DRAM prices, and capacity changes.
If all three lines continue to rise simultaneously, this storage supercycle could indeed be much longer than before.
But if one day NVDA orders are still strong and MU and SNDK start to weaken early, I would be very cautious.
Because cyclical stocks are best to sell, often not when bad news is everywhere.
It was when everyone already believed that good days could last many more years.
$MU The biggest positive now is that AI has changed storage demand, but the biggest risk is that the market has begun to believe AI has completely changed the storage cycle.

July's PPI did not rise month-on-month, and the core index rose only 0.2%. With favorable interest rates on the table, $IWM only hovered around $303.23, up about 0.17%, touching it to 305.05 intraday before pulling back again.
No selling, no rushing. Small caps have support, but the money chasing the price isn't strong enough.
Now, small positions are testing the long position, entering in batches at $302.8–$303.5, stop-loss at 300.8, target at 307.5; maximum loss per trade is 0.5%, no leverage needed. Breaking below 300.8 indicates that cooling inflation cannot bring incremental small-cap funds. Data as of Beijing time 00:19.The U.S. stock market just triggered a massive short squeeze—and crypto followed.
Cooling jobless claims and PPI strengthened rate-cut hopes, sending Treasury yields lower and forcing heavily shorted tech and storage names into aggressive covering.
The move then spilled into crypto:
$BTC and $ETH found support, with ETH showing stronger resilience from ETF flows.
Stock-linked tokens like $XSNDK and $XSPCX moved sharply higher, while small-cap memes mostly saw short-lived speculative pumps.
#CPIPPIEaseFedSplit #AIInfraEarningsWatch The hotter quantum computing gets, the more BTC and ETH have to answer a question the market is unwilling to face
The Trump administration has updated the U.S. quantum strategy and promoted the commercialization, deployment, and national security application of quantum technology;
This kind of news is most likely to trigger panic in the crypto world: Will quantum computing crack $BTC and $ETH?
To start with the conclusion, progress in quantum technology does not mean that Bitcoin and Ethereum will immediately lose their security today. To truly threaten mainstream public-key cryptosystems, quantum computers with sufficient scale, stability, and error correction capabilities are needed. There is still a long way to go before real-world development and the "tomorrow wallet hacking" approach.
But what the market should really focus on is not whether the danger will happen tomorrow, but whether the network can complete the migration before the danger arrives.
BTC's advantages are stable rules and cautious changes, which is a key reason for its long-term trust. But the same feature may also cause major crypto upgrades to require longer coordination. Miners, nodes, wallets, trading platforms, and holders all need to reach a consensus on migration solutions.
ETH's development and upgrade mechanisms are more active, theoretically making it easier to introduce new signature schemes. However, the Ethereum ecosystem has a large number of smart contracts, Layer 2s, cross-chain bridges, and custodial systems, and the components involved in migration are more complex.
One is slow coordination, the other is high system complexity.
What quantum risks may truly impact may not be the blockchain itself, but old addresses that haven't moved for years and whose public keys have been exposed, as well as wallets and infrastructure that haven't been upgraded in time. If the market begins to believe quantum threats are becoming a reality, whether these potential tokens will be stolen or migrated ahead could affect price expectations.
This is also why the quantum topic is both a risk for BTC and a sign of institutional upgrades.
If the Bitcoin network can complete post-quantum migration before a real threat arrives, it will prove that so-called "digital gold" is not an unchangeable old code, but rather a security layer that can be updated without breaking currency rules.
ETH needs to prove that a fast-iterating ecosystem can carry out migration in a unified manner without causing mass applications and asset fragmentation.
In the short term, it's easy to create panic with "quantum cracking BTC," but the truly valuable indicators are much more specific: whether developers have formed migration plans, whether wallets and custodians are starting to support new signature standards, and whether the network can provide secure transition paths for old addresses.
Quantum computing won't suddenly destroy cryptocurrencies because of a single piece of news, but it will gradually force BTC and ETH to answer the same question:
A system that claims to preserve decades of wealth can proactively prepare for attacks decades from now?The main takeaway is market resilience, not simply “Bitcoin must be at the bottom.”
Bad news isn't moving BTC: If repeated negative catalysts fail to produce new lows, it suggests sellers may be becoming exhausted.
Institutional adoption could be the bigger story: The argument is that the next major wave may come from traditional wealth-management platforms rather than crypto-native traders.
BTC and ETH may capture institutional flows: Smaller DeFi assets can still benefit, but institutional portfolios generally have greater capacity for the largest, most liquid assets.
The important confirmation is price action: “Bad news doesn't matter” becomes much more meaningful if BTC continues making higher lows and eventually breaks major resistance with strong volume.
Don't treat the $180K/$8K/$500 projections as guaranteed targets: Those are forecasts, not facts. Crypto can remain highly volatile even when the long-term adoption story is positive.
So the strongest signal here is:
If increasingly bearish news produces less and less downside, while demand continues absorbing selling, the market may be transitioning from a seller-controlled phase to an accumulation phase.
But I'd still watch BTC's support levels, ETF flows, volume, and macro liquidity before declaring a confirmed bottom.Harmony 사태, 가격 구조보다 수급 균열이 문제다 이번 사건이 ONE의 가격 발견 방식을 근본적으로 바꿔놓을 수 있는가?

OKX Onchain OS recorded 12 mentions of SOL in one hour at 23:00 on August 13, at about 0.48 times the 24-hour average, with the current tone being "bullish with clear dominance."
Here, we need to break down two things: faster mentions only mean more new discussions; Bullish or bearish dominance only means text classification, and neither is the real buying or selling volume. In this round of sources, X appeared 10 times and news 2 times; the more concentrated the sources, the easier it is for a single narrative to be amplified.
I'll wait for the next snapshot to confirm whether the speed and source continue, then check spot transactions, funding rates, open interest, and on-chain usage. If the data can echo each other, this wave of interest is worth looking forward to.Just after CPI was released, PPI poured a bucket of lukewarm water, but the market fell below the middle track—Lao Mo said inflation had cooled, but the market was trading on another matter
Guys, this week's macro data is packed like the New Year.
Let's start with CPI, which hits the bullseye perfectly.
On August 12, the US July CPI report was released. Overall, CPI year-on-year was 3.4%, lower than June's 3.5%, marking the second consecutive month of decline. Core CPI was 2.5% year-on-year, also slightly lower. Month-on-month, July's CPI rose 0.1%, and the decline seen in June did not return. Energy prices fell 1.5% month-on-month, but the decline was much smaller than June's 5.7%. Overall—in line with expectations and in a positive direction.
As for PPI, it's even gentler than expected.
On August 13, the July PPI data was released. Month-on-month steady at 0.0%, analysts had originally expected a 0.2% increase. Year-on-year growth fell from 5.5% to 4.7%, also below the expected 4.9%. Core PPI rose 0.2% month-on-month, also below the expected 0.3%. For the second consecutive month, final demand prices for PPI did not rise.
Putting these two data points together, the narrative of cooling inflation is now confirmed.
The data shows that the probability of keeping rates unchanged in September rose from 54.1% to 55.9%, while the probability of a rate hike dropped from 45.9% to 44.1%. The market is shifting from a "50-50 split" to "leaning toward no rate hikes."
But instead of rising, the market is falling.
BTC's latest price is 63,109, down 0.43% in 24 hours, with a low of 62,818 and a high of 63,997. The 4-hour Bollinger Band middle band is at 63,567, with the upper band at 64,079 and the lower band at 63,055. The price 63,109 has already broken below the middle band at 63,567 and is running close to the lower band at 63,055—a weak signal, not a strong consolidation. The SAR reversal signal at 63,654 has been broken—the short-term trend has shifted from bullish to bearish. SuperTrend 63,679 is also holding back overhead.
MACD fast line -127.6, slow line -54.9, energy bar -145.4. Compared to yesterday's chart (fast line 4.4, energy bar 75.2), bullish momentum has completely disappeared, and bears have started to dominate. Fast lines turning from positive to negative, and energy bars from positive to negative—these are typical trend reversal signals.
Key levels: First resistance above 63,500-63,700; a breakout at 64,000-64,200; first support below 62,800-63,000; if broken, target 62,500-62,600.
Positive data, but prices fall—what is the market trading?
First, the CPI had already risen to 1,200 points the night before, and expectations were over. On August 11, the CPI eve jumped from 63,100 to 64,400, meaning the bulls had already already priced in the expected CPI in advance. The data is a classic scenario for financial markets.
Second, inflation is still above 3%, far from 2%. A lower probability of rate hikes does not mean a rate cut. No rate hikes in September, but rates are likely to remain stuck between 3.5% and 3.75%. The market is pricing in "higher for longer," which is not truly positive for risk assets.
Third, internal battles are still ongoing within the Federal Reserve, with no one winning.
On August 13, two Fed officials spoke simultaneously, holding completely opposite positions. Richmond Fed President Barkin supported holding the rate unchanged; Cleveland Fed President Hamack insisted on raising rates, stating, "I think we need to take action now."
Hawks say inflation is still above 3%, far from 2%, and that if you don't act now, you'll be more passive later. Doves say employment is already loosening and inflation is easing, so wait and see. Both sides have data backing them, which is why the probability of a rate hike in September is stuck at the awkward 44% level.
Lao Mo said a few words about the operation.
If Bitcoin breaks below both the mid-band and SAR support levels, the short-term trend has turned bearish. Don't go against the trend.
For those wanting to short: rebound 63,500-63,700, but light positions are worth trying, stop loss above 64,000, target 62,800-63,000, and a breakout target 62,500-62,600.
For those wanting to go long: wait for a stabilization signal between 62,800-63,000. If there are stop-drop signals like a shrinking doji or a long lower shadow, consider lightly entering and testing long, setting a stop loss below 62,500, targeting 63,500-63,700. Continue to wait cautiously—wait for the August nonfarm payrolls, wait for the Jackson Hole annual meeting, and wait until the direction is clear before acting.
Lao Mo finally said: Inflation is indeed cooling down, but the market is falling instead of rising. The market is telling you it's time to respect the trend—data is data, market is market, and there's a wall of 'expectations' between the two.
Bing has fallen below the mid-tier track—are you bottom-fishing or just waiting and waiting? Let's talk in the comments.
If you think Lao Mo has a clear breakdown, give a like and follow. When the key points come, I'll call you immediately. #CPI与PPI同步降温, rate hike divergences widen $BTC $ETH $OKB Saying goodbye to double-digit mindless effortless profits: EigenLayer enters a brutal painful period—how does the commercial closed loop of re-staking take take place?
Recently, I chatted with a few friends who have been farming Liquid Restaking and then staking points, and most of them were complaining about the same phenomenon.
The EigenLayer ecosystem, which once boasted double-digit returns, massive reward points, and various AVS token airdrops, has recently dropped its comprehensive return to the benchmark range of 4% to 7%. Many friends who have layered layers of leverage on assets for arbitrage have found that after deducting gas fees and funding costs, the actual returns they receive are barely covered by losses.
Re-pledged, once the hottest engine, is clearly hitting a harsh wall of commercial reality.
Everyone witnessed the early frenzy, with funds flooding in across the internet, pushing EigenLayer's locked value to an astonishing scale of tens of billions. But no matter how high the capital piles, it cannot hide the core contradiction of supply-demand imbalance. The market has accumulated massive restaking funds, but the number of Web2 or Web3 entities willing to spend real money to buy AVS security verification services is pitifully few.
Most of the generous profits people received early on were just subsidies frantically issued by the project team to generate buzz.
Once project teams in the ecosystem begin tightening token emissions, or the secondary liquidity of the altcoins themselves comes under pressure, the yield flywheel backed by fake interest will immediately stagnate. Faced with this awkward situation, the official team has recently begun adjusting its strategic direction, trying to align with the EigenCloud concept, and has proposed a new plan to extract AVS protocol yields for token buybacks in the secondary market.
This series of moves marks that the restaking sector is moving from a bloated phase of point-based airdrops to a period of seeking genuine commercial loops.
This is actually a good thing for the entire crypto ecosystem. Decentralized security services cannot always be built on printing money out of thin air; they ultimately need to find genuine buyers willing to pay for network security, decentralized oracles, and data availability. Only when restaking networks can continuously generate fiat-level real protocol revenue and feed back to token holders and staking nodes can this track emerge from Ponzi pains.
Finally, here's a question for friends: after the restaking yield has been squeezed out of the water, would you still lock your ETH in the restaking protocol? Do you think the EigenCloud model can run a real commercial capital loop for restaking?
#BitMine成全球最大ETH质押方 🚀 BNB/USDT Short-Term Prediction 🚀
BNB is currently trading around $BNB 606.90 after pulling back slightly from its recent peak of $BNB 620.60. The overall uptrend remains healthy, with key support holding right near the $600.00 moving average level.
📈 Short-Term Price Targets:
Bullish Target: $625.00 – $635.00 🎯 (If it holds above $600.00 and breaks $615.00)
Key Support Zone: $595.00 – $600.00 🛡️
If buyers hold support above $600.00, expect another bullish move toward $625.00+ soon! 📊💸⚡The most interesting thing about BNB right now is that while everyone is looking for the "next hundredfold coin," it is quietly making money from the entire market's active market.
Recently, as Meme, new coins, and on-chain trading have started heating up again, I actually took a fresh look at $BNB. Many people think platform coins don't have any sexy stories, $SOL at least they can talk about performance, payments, and RWA. DOGE can talk about Musk, PEPE and $GIGGLE are even more so. Once emotions run high, fluctuations in just a few days can be greater than in months for platform coins. But BNB has a special aspect: it doesn't necessarily need to guess which coin will ultimately win. As long as more and more people are still trading and looking for opportunities on-chain, it has a chance to benefit from the whole process.
This is actually a bit like a gold rush. Everyone is competing over which mine can dig gold; the ones who truly make stable money are often those selling shovels, running hotels, and collecting tolls. The logic behind BNB is somewhat similar. When new projects launch, people trade; When Memes get hot, people run on-chain; When market sentiment returns, Launchpools, new coins, and various ecosystem activities start attracting users again. Which project ultimately goes zero doesn't necessarily directly determine BNB's value; what really matters is whether these people remain in the entire system.
This is one of the biggest differences between it and SOL. A large part of SOL's current appeal comes from on-chain activity—Memes, DEXs, payments, and stablecoins all create transaction demand; BNB adds a platform entry layer. Users may start out just to buy BTC, then participate in new coin events, trade on BNB Chain, and finally use wallets to participate in other on-chain applications. As long as this user path continues to cycle, BNB will benefit more than just one sector, but the growth in crypto trading demand as a whole.
But the biggest problem with platform coins is precisely here.
This model seems stable but is highly dependent on the platform itself. If users start migrating massively, trading volume is taken by other platforms, or the hottest on-chain assets remain on SOL or other ecosystems for a long time, BNB's entry advantage will gradually weaken. Therefore, BNB should not be judged solely by coin price or how many new addresses BNB Chain has gained today; what should really be watched is whether the entire system continues to attract new users and whether these users stay after joining.
OKB is actually facing the same problem. The final battle with platform coins isn't whose token name is more prominent, but who can continue directing exchange traffic to wallets, on-chain, payments, new assets, and more financial services. The deeper you go, the more platform tokens become like a token of rights for the entire ecosystem; If you don't go deep enough, it's easy to revert to the old story of "transaction fee discount coins."
So now, looking at $BNB, I don't really care whether it's the fastest-rising asset this round.
SOL can win a round of public chain markets, DOGE can win a round of meme markets, and new coins can even double in a day. But what platform coins really want to win is another game: as long as everyone is still playing in this casino, can it keep standing at the door collecting money?
The most attractive thing in a bull market is the soaring chips, but the ones most easily overlooked are often the ones selling the chips.
#BNB #BNBChain #SOL #OKB #DOGE #Crypto #加密货币 #OKX星球话题来啦 Tonight, the crypto world is actually focused on one serious matter.
The SEC will meet at 10 PM in the US East Today, and at 10 PM Beijing time tonight, to vote on whether to formally propose Regulation Crypto. Note: it's a proposal, not a real implementation. The CLARITY Act in Congress didn't pass before the recess, so the SEC itself will write the regulatory line first. Rumors say the project will be given a financing channel without full registration, around $75 million, and it will only take effect next year. Once the narrative is set, don't assume the rules have been changed.
BTC is still grinding around 63,000 on the market. Yesterday's rebound was mainly due to contract buying and spot buying still being weak. This kind of structure can easily wash away leverage. Sideways trading doesn't mean it's fine.
Two items beside it: the Russian central bank has added BTC, ETH, and USDT to tradable lists, with retail investors up to 300,000 rubles per year, effective September 1. Additionally, Coinbase and Block are urging AI labs, claiming that the attackers' models are stronger than those of defenders, and their security is somewhat lagging.
And Sandi, Dizi is going all out tonightDự báo ETH sáng mai: Liệu có sóng tăng mới hay lại là cú lừa “Buy the rumor, sell the news”?
Dữ liệu lạm phát (CPI tháng 7): CPI cho thấy áp lực lạm phát đang có dấu hiệu hạ nhiệt, nhưng thị trường vẫn chưa phản ứng theo hướng tăng bền vững. (The Block)
Dữ liệu PPI: PPI tháng 7 thực tế tăng 4,7% YoY, thấp hơn mức dự báo 4,9% và giảm mạnh từ 5,5% kỳ trước. Đây là tín hiệu tích cực cho kỳ vọng lạm phát, nhưng phản ứng của thị trường lại không quá mạnh.
Diễn biến giá ETH: ETH hiện đang dao động quanh vùng $1,880–$1,900, cho thấy lực mua chưa đủ mạnh để tạo một cú breakout rõ ràng sau loạt dữ liệu lạm phát.
Góc nhìn: Với việc PPI đã thấp hơn kỳ vọng, phần lớn tin tốt có thể đã được thị trường hấp thụ. Kịch bản sáng mai đáng chú ý là ETH giật tăng để hút FOMO rồi quay đầu điều chỉnh, thay vì lập tức hình thành một xu hướng tăng bền vững.
Anh em ETH sáng mai cẩn trọng củi lửa!
$ETH Key Battles in Tomorrow Morning: Korean Stock SKHYNIX $SKHYNIX Expected to Surge Sharply!
There are two reasons: First, today's increase in the US stock Hynix ADR has shown a clear premium, creating an upward price pull for Korean stocks; Second, there has once again been a funding fee as high as 0.385%, with bulls willing to pay their holding costs, and the market shares a unified bullish outlook.
I have already set up a long grid for Hynix and shorted Hynix ADR hedging, waiting for developments tomorrow morning.
#芯片股领涨, Korean stocks rebounded over 22% #海力士推进NAND扩产 over the 10th day, raising expectations for storage supply 美股逼空传导币圈，热闹行情底下分化非常明显
很多人误以为新一轮趋势行情来了。但剥开盘面看，这波上涨本质是宏观数据驱动的短期逼空，并不是基本面彻底反转。
先看源头：美国最新初请失业金、核心PPI数据走弱，就业与通胀同步降温，市场进一步押注美联储年内降息，美债收益率下行。
此前大量对冲基金集中押空科技、存储赛道，空头仓位堆得很高。数据出炉利好落地，资金一窝蜂冲进去做多，空头保证金扛不住，只能被动高价平仓回补，触发一波空头踩踏式逼空。$MU $SNDK 拉动纳指走强，叠加做市商买盘推动，涨幅进一步放大。
这条行情链条很快传导到币圈，但资金分配极度不均衡，市场撕裂感特别强。
网上热度最高的是存储概念映射代币xSNDK、xSPCX，短线连续冲高，社群到处都是晒盈利的截图，热度快速发酵，吸引大量散户跟风冲热点。这类标的纯粹蹭美股题材情绪，炒作属性拉满，波动和风险同样极高。
反观大盘蓝筹，$BTC ETH只是依靠降息预期稳住震荡，没有走出强势突破。机构资金持续流入ETH ETF，长期资金布局痕迹明显，后续ETH价格弹性理论上会大于比特币。
另一边绝大多数小盘币完全是另一套剧本：没有真实业务与叙事支撑，只是借着大盘反弹脉冲一下。行情稍微一动，游资就趁机拉高出货，涨得快、砸得更狠，来回剧烈震荡收割。现在圈内一个很现实的现象：机构资金偏向布局主流，散户追高热点山寨，不少人看着行情热闹盲目冲进去，最后高位被套。
有一点必须拎清楚：这一轮上涨是空头平仓带来的脉冲行情，属于短期情绪驱动，不是新一轮牛市开启。月底杰克逊霍尔年会鲍威尔讲话是接下来最重要的变数。一旦表态偏鹰，降息预期降温，美股和加密市场很容易出现快速回调，现在盘面杠杆仓位并不低，回调时踩踏风险不能忽视。
结合当前市场环境，操作上没必要追涨凑热闹。更稳妥的思路是等待一轮回调之后，再择机关注BTC、ETH。高位爆炒的小盘山寨、热点概念币尽量回避，不要被短期暴涨的舆论氛围带偏。

Inflation data (CPI in July): Signals of cooling inflation are helping the market maintain positive expectations, while technology and semiconductor stocks continue to benefit. (Reuters)
PPI forecast tonight: If the PPI continues to be lower than expected, inflationary pressures could ease further and provide sentiment support for the technology group. However, much of the positive expectations may have been reflected in the price.
SNDK price movement: SNDK is experiencing a strong upward momentum. Shares jumped more than 15% in today's session after Investor Day, as SanDisk laid out its long-term growth outlook and emphasized the need for AI storage and tight NAND supply.
Perspective: With the strong increase already there, even if the PPI is positive tonight, the possibility of SNDK continuing to make a sustainable breakthrough immediately is not easy. The remarkable scenario is still to pull up according to the news → take profits strongly → retest the support price area. SNDK brothers beware of firewood! 🔥
$SNDK What really caught my attention these past two days wasn't BTC or ETH, but SMIC's financial report.
Q2 profit directly reached $479 million, nearly double market expectations, and revenue exceeded $3 billion, a year-on-year increase of 36%. Even more astonishing, the market had long worried that China's chip manufacturing would be limited by equipment, processes, and supply chains, but now AI demand has driven up mature processes and local capacity utilization. SMIC's financial report actually shows one thing: this AI rally is no longer just about high-end GPU companies like NVDA and AMD; even upstream wafer manufacturing is beginning to receive real orders.
This is interesting. In the past, when people looked at the AI industry chain, it was easy to form a fixed mindset: GPUs were the most valuable, and the rest were just supporting the price. But now, from $MU, SNDK to SMIC, capital is gradually breaking down this logic. GPUs are still the core, but behind an AI server lies memory, storage, advanced packaging, power, networking, and further on, wafer production capacity. As long as AI capital spending continues to increase, the benefits will not be limited to one or two companies, but to the entire hardware chain.
The most noteworthy thing about SMIC right now isn't that profits multiplied this quarter, but that they're already facing a problem many people hadn't anticipated before: insufficient production capacity. The company itself is also accelerating the advancement of new production lines, which means demand has shifted from "whether orders exist" to "whether it can be delivered." This situation is somewhat similar to MU, SK Hynix, and even SNDK recently—the market is no longer just restocking inventory, but AI tightening the entire hardware supply chain at once.
But I actually think this place is the easiest to overheat. Whenever an industry starts experiencing supply shortages, soaring profits, or companies collectively expanding production, the market easily counts the good days ahead into its stock price all at once. After Changxin Memory went public, it was chased by capital frantically, while SMIC's profits soared, while MU and $SNDK were running out of trading and storage. The entire industry chain is telling almost the same story: AI demand will continue to explode.
The problem is, the capital market prefers to trade the next step ahead of time.
If capacity is lacking today, everyone should expand; When new capacity is actually added in two years, will AI demand still be able to maintain the current pace? If so, this semiconductor boom may last longer than any previous cycle; If not, the companies that seem most profitable now will eventually face the cycle again.
So now I increasingly feel that the AI market has truly entered its second phase. The first phase is about finding who will benefit most directly, NVDA being the most obvious; The second phase will focus on who is the bottleneck, with MU, SNDK, and SMIC all starting to be repriced $BTC
AI originally lacked GPUs; now it lacks the entire supply chain.
When an industry shifts from "insufficient demand" to "insufficient capacity," profits look great, but the most aggressive expansion often starts at this point.

Every cycle has lasted exactly the same:
From the 2015 bottom to the December 2017 peak, 1064 days passed, followed by a 364-day bear market into the December 2018 bottom.
Then another 1064 days to the November 2021 peak, followed by 364 days down to the November 2022 bottom.
Bitcoin set its latest ATH on October 6, 2025 — exactly 1064 days after the November 2022 bottom.
If this pattern remains intact, the end of the bear market and the next bottom#芯片股领涨，韩股十日反弹逾22%
I followed this for a month in July; at that time, some people on the forum were shouting "Give me back my money."
A rebound of about 22% over ten trading days (CNBC cites LSEG at 23%), a technical bull market. On Thursday, the Kospi rose 4.15% to 6,852.31, SK Hynix +7.11%, Samsung +3.72%.
But these two numbers must be viewed together: July saw a 22% drop for the whole month, the worst single month since the financial crisis; even after the rebound, it is still about 24% below the peak at the end of June.
It has only climbed out halfway from the crash.
The most ironic layer: the culprit of the July crash was the forced liquidation of leveraged chip bets, while one reason for this stabilization is the government restricting single-stock leveraged ETFs and retail investors reducing margin balances.
The same thing is fuel when rising, but explosive when falling; once regulated, it becomes a stabilizer.
Where the fragility lies (according to Citibank): Korean retail investors bought $6.7 billion in overseas securities in July, with overseas purchases exceeding domestic ones by the end of the month. Domestic funds are still flowing out.
Catalyst: Samsung and Hynix are expected to announce shareholder return plans soon.
Strategy: If bullish on memory, buy upstream or US targets (Micron), avoid Korean leveraged products—the same logic, but volatility differs by an order of magnitude. Watch DRAM spot prices and capital expenditure announcements; these two move ahead of stock prices.BTC 守得稳稳的，山寨却摔得鼻青脸肿，这不是普跌，是资金在重新排座次。 你有没有发现，今天真正受伤的，不是比特币，而是那些昨天还让你心痒痒的"明星币"？ 昨天 $BEAT 冲到 1.35 的时候，多少人觉得要起飞了？今天直接一根大阴线砸回 0.96，振幅 54%，追高的人一夜回到解放前。这不是简单的回调，这是典型的"派发陷阱"——拉高出货，专治各种不服。市场情绪在这里不是恐慌，而是"选择性失明"：大家只盯着 BTC 的稳，却选择性忽略了山寨里正在发生的踩踏。 我今天的真实感受是：盘面在告诉我们一件很重要的事——钱没有离开，只是从山寨的赌桌撤回了 BTC 的避风港。$BTC 在 63600 附近纹丝不动，这不是无力，这是蓄势。当山寨血流成河而大饼稳如泰山时，往往意味着主力资金在收缩战线，准备下一波定向打击。 但别急着乐观，这里有个被忽略的风险：BTC 的稳，也可能是暴风雨前的宁静。如果 63000 这个位置被跌破，那些还在硬撑的山寨会迎来第二波抛售，到时候就不是 -17% 的问题了。 再看强势的 $HYPE，57.67，五天从 52 爬上来，今天还破了前高。但我的判断是：它强，不代表你Russell 2000 went up to 3067, a record high.

Don't wait until the price has finished to react 🚀#芯片股领涨，韩股十日反弹逾22%
I have to say this separately: This is the trend line I have been following for the entire month of July, and the reversal happened even faster than a crash.
Let's clarify the numbers first (there are slight differences in data sources, all listed together):
Bloomberg: Kospi rose 3.6% on Thursday (intraday up to 4.8%), rebounding about 22% from the July 30 low, over 10 trading days.
CNBC citing LSEG: rebound about 23%.
Investing.com: Kospi up 4.15% to 6,852.31, Samsung up 3.72%, SK Hynix up 7.11%.
Korea Exchange data: opened at 6,773.92, up 194.88 points (2.96%), marking the fourth consecutive trading day of gains.
The technical definition of a bull market is a rise of more than 20% from a recent low — it has achieved that.
But two numbers must be viewed together:
1. KOSPI fell 22% throughout July, the worst monthly drop since the global financial crisis.
2. Even after rebounding 22%, it is still about 24% below the peak at the end of June.
In other words: it has only climbed halfway out of a "historically rare crash."
Three reasons for the rebound:
1. Earnings reports from major global tech companies confirmed continued AI investment. On August 12, CoreWeave and SMCI each rose 19% in the New York market, Micron up about 5%.
2. Mild US inflation data eased concerns about further Federal Reserve rate hikes.
3. Government restrictions on single-stock leveraged ETFs and signs of investors reducing margin balances helped stabilize the market.
I want to emphasize the last point because it is the most ironic part of this whole situation.
The direct cause of the July crash was forced liquidations of leveraged chip bets — triggering trading halts and wiping out billions of dollars in retail investor wealth. At that time, someone wrote on a Korean trading forum: "I want to go back to before I started trading stocks. Give me back my money." The KODEX SK Hynix single-stock leveraged ETF dropped about 70% from its June high.
Now, government restrictions on leveraged ETFs have become one of the reasons the market has stabilized.
The same thing is fuel when rising, explosive when falling, and becomes a stabilizer once regulated.
Two sober voices:
Kang DaeKwun, CEO of Life Asset Management, spoke cautiously, basically saying: the market overshot downward during the unwinding of leveraged positions, and the current rebound is a natural recovery after liquidity stabilized; but without a solid AI narrative and stable US interest rates, the market will struggle to sustain a continuous rise.
Citibank pointed out a divergence: the Korean won appreciated 7.1% against the US dollar in July, the strongest monthly gain since November 2022, while the KOSPI suffered its largest monthly drop since the financial crisis. Moreover, Korean retail investors bought $6.7 billion in overseas securities in July, with overseas asset purchases exceeding domestic Korean stocks and ETFs by month-end.
This means domestic capital is still flowing out, and if AI trading comes under pressure again, KOSPI remains vulnerable.
There is another catalyst on the way: the market expects Samsung and SK Hynix to soon announce shareholder return plans, which has also boosted recent sentiment.
Strategy: KOSPI is still up over 60% year-to-date, a rally largely driven by retail investors. A technical bull market does not mean structural issues are resolved — the fact that two stocks account for about 60% of the index weight remains unchanged.
If you want to participate in this storage rebound, buy upstream or US targets, but avoid Korean leveraged products. The same logic, different vehicles, can result in volatility differing by an order of magnitude. What really should be tracked are DRAM spot prices and capital expenditure announcements from various companies, as those move ahead of stock prices.An interesting detail of the past bear cycle $BTC
In 2022, along with the fall of BTC, both open interest and volumes gradually decreased. The market was cleared of a large number of positions and leverage.
Now OI remains significantly higher than the levels of previous years, so the market structure is completely different. 👏Today's split screen is the story: the S&P 500 broke 7,800 for the first time ever, tech led the charge, and traders trimmed their odds of a September Fed hike after a soft inflation print and a 2%+ drop in oil. Classic "cheap money coming back" setup. Bitcoin should be the biggest beneficiary of that setup. It isn't. $BTC is sitting near $63,500, stuck in the same $62K–$66K box it's been boxed into since the July CPI release — down slightly on the day even as equities rip. Continued ETF outflow"Predictions for ETH in the Next 60 Days"
August 13, 2026 · Thursday
Third Quarter · Issue 99
Aspirin · Period analysis from the perspective of a data scientist
ETH is currently priced at about $1782. In May 2026, it fell 8.2%, in June it dropped 22.7%, in July it rebounded 9.6%, and since August has experienced slight upward fluctuations. This July rebound recovered some losses from the sharp decline in June, but it is not enough to directly conclude that the current mid-term correction has ended. Reviewing the bear markets of 2018 and 2022, there were rebounds after summer lows, followed by several weeks of low-volatility grinding. The truly important yearly lows often appear in later time windows.
1. On historical months and price pressure zones
The monthly rhythms of 2018 and 2022 are informative for ETH: continuous declines in May and June, a recovery and rebound in July, and another weakening and adjustment in August and September. There was no July rebound in 2014, and continued declines from June to September. According to Glassnode's historical daily price backtests, ETH fell 11.4% and 7.8% in August and September 2018; 16.1% and 4.7% in August and September 2022; Declines of 21.3% and 19.2% in August and September 2014. The sample sizes of these three historical samples are limited and cannot be fixed as seasonal rules, but they all remind us: in a mid-term correction, the July rebound does not mean the bear market bottom has been established.
Using $1782 as the benchmark for a stress scenario test, a 10% pullback corresponds to about $1604; On this basis, an 8% pullback brings the price to $1476.
Therefore, $1580-$1620 serves as the first level of risk observation range, while $1440-$1490 serves as a deeper resistance range. The above is only a retracement observation reference and not a price target, so it does not necessarily mean the market will arrive.
The strength of this summer rebound is relatively weak. In 2018, ETH's maximum rebound from the summer low was nearly 55%, while this round of rebound from the stage low was only 18%. The current market heat indicator is about 0.22, significantly below the 0.42-0.51 range in the same period in 2022, closer to the mid-stage level of the 2018 bear market. Low market enthusiasm often reflects insufficient incremental funds, shrinking market volatility, and a lack of capital support for sustained rebounds.
2. On cycle days and bear market duration
The main cycle lows of the previous two complete bear market ETH cycles fell on day 1442 and day 1435 respectively. Currently, it is at day 1366 of the cycle, and in sixty days it will approach day 1426, entering a 1-2 week time window before and after the historical low. The time difference between the top of several cycles and the bear market low is roughly 12 days. Time dimension alone cannot determine price, but it suggests that late September to October is a time window that requires careful scrutiny.
In terms of bear market duration, the first two complete bear markets lasted 53 and 55 weeks respectively. Fitting this cycle into the trading weeks of October 8 and October 22, respectively; An earlier bear market lasted 60 weeks, corresponding to the week of November 27 this year. The three bear market troughs were in January, December, and November. If the monthly migration pattern is still useful, October could become a potential key candidate month. However, the sample of monthly migration is limited and can only serve as auxiliary evidence.
The historical lessons of 2018 are worth noting: after the July rebound, the market consolidated sideways from August to October without clear direction, and only began a new round of deep declines in November. ETH's summer equilibrium in 2022 lasted until late August. Therefore, the fact that August did not immediately break downward only means short-term supply-demand balance is temporary and cannot directly confirm that a major bear market low has appeared.
3. Three scenario forecasts for the next 60 days
1. A key low point for this round will form around October, with a subjective probability of about 50%. In August and September, the overall trend remains weak. ETH will fall below 1700 and the summer low, first testing the 1580-1620 observation range; If on-chain indicators weaken and reset simultaneously, the 1440-1490 range will enter the observation range. Price downturns must be synchronized with on-chain indicators; a rapid short-term drop alone is insufficient to confirm this scenario.
2. The sideways consolidation continues into November, with a subjective probability of about 30%. Support near 1680 remains active, and the market remains in a narrow range; On-chain indicators such as NUPL, ETH-MVRV, Z-Score, and others have not reset the bear market bottom characteristics. In this situation, since October did not hit a new low, it cannot be directly interpreted as risk release and the historical weight of the 60-week bear market has increased.
3. The summer low has been established, with a subjective probability of about 20%. ETH has regained its position above the resistance zone for the July rebound, and after pulling back, continues to push the lows higher; Even if the MVRV Z-Score does not fall below zero, the price continues to rise strongly. If this condition is fulfilled, it means the current market structure differs significantly from the previous three cycles, and the benchmark judgment of new lows in September and October should be discarded.
4. Verification Conditions and Judgment Boundaries
Price dimension: Focus on 1700 and the summer low below, while focus on the July rebound high and bear resistance zone above.
On-chain dimension: At the bottom of historical bear markets, ETH-MVRV Z-Score often falls below zero; NUPL, staking outflow ratio, network fees, realized losses, and other comprehensive risk indicators are generally close to 0.1. Currently, all these signals have not been triggered, so it cannot be confirmed that the bottom has been formed.
The next 60 days will be divided into two key market states: current sideways consolidation—is it a bottoming process or a brief equilibrium before the final round of decline in the mid-term correction? Accurately predicting a day's bottom or precisely locking at a low price between 1440 and 1490 lacks sufficient data support.
My benchmark judgment still favors a more meaningful reference low between late September and October, but only if it effectively breaks below the summer low, accompanied by collective on-chain indicator realignment, will the credibility of this scenario increase significantly; Conversely, if ETH rises above the July rebound resistance zone, I will directly overturn the previous benchmark judgment.

EP: $0.0458–$0.0473
TP: $0.0495 / $0.0520 / $0.0555
SL: $0.0438[Pharaoh Market Watch]
Pharaoh bluntly said Goldman Sachs' $2.25 billion was worth it because it wasn't buying a fund company, but a ticket to the track of "letting Bitcoin lay eggs."
Let's first look at the transaction itself.
Goldman Sachs acquired NEOS Investments for up to $2.25 billion, with the transaction expected to close in Q1 2027. NEOS manages $30 billion in 19 options yield ETFs, with its core asset being BTCI, which is about $1.1 billion, and a Bitcoin yield ETF that earns premiums by selling call options and has an annualized distribution rate of about 27%.
Four months ago, Goldman Sachs applied for a Bitcoin covered call ETF but never pushed it. Now, directly buying the sector leader is essentially bypassing the "follow-up" path and going head-to-head with BlackRock's BITA. Bloomberg ETF analyst Balchunas said bluntly: "Now I understand why Goldman Sachs doesn't push it themselves—buying is better than following the crowd." ”
But don't be blinded by a 27% yield.
BTCI does not directly hold Bitcoin, but instead holds spot ETPs and sells options for rental income. It can generate cash flow when Bitcoin moves sideways or rises moderately, but when the price surges, the upside is capped. Over the past year, BTCI's price has dropped about 43%, with some dividends coming from principal returns. A high distribution rate does not equal high returns.
The real highlight of this acquisition is not BTCI itself.
In the past nine months, Goldman Sachs has acquired Innovator and NEOS, with total ETF assets surpassing $130 billion, making it the world's eighth largest actively managed ETF manager. One focuses on downside protection, the other on yield enhancement, both of which have been traded in both strategies of derivatives ETFs. This shows that Goldman Sachs is betting not on Bitcoin's rise or fall, but on Wall Street's structural need for "monthly cash intake"—retirement accounts over 55 need cash flow, which is more essential than young people seeking sudden wealth.
For the Bitcoin ecosystem, this is deeper than spot ETF approval. Spot ETFs turn Bitcoin into "tradable," while income ETFs turn it into "dividend-collecting." Two completely different types of capital—the former is speculative capital, the latter is allocation capital. If Goldman Sachs succeeds, more institutions will follow, and the participant structure and volatility characteristics of the crypto market will be rewritten.
Remember, Wall Street is packaging Bitcoin's volatility into wealth management products and selling them. This is much more worth pondering than short-term ups and downs! $BTC $ETH $OKB #高盛收购Neos, crypto ETFs are shifting toward earnings competition [SharpLink Hands Over $200 Million $ETH to Lido for Staking, LDO Welcomes Institutional Adoption Positive]
Ethereum treasury company SharpLink announced it will stake $200 million worth of existing ETH through Lido and acquire wstETH, with the assets held by Anchorage Digital, a U.S. federally chartered crypto bank.
SharpLink not only allows continuous accumulation of ETH, but can also be sold, redeemed, or used as DeFi collateral in the future, maintaining liquidity while improving capital efficiency.
For ETH, this means that listed companies are beginning to treat staking as a standard strategy for corporate treasuries. If more companies follow suit, it could increase ETH staking ratios, reduce real-time market supply, and strengthen Ethereum's position as a yield-generating asset.
SharpLink choosing Lido effectively provides a large enterprise case for its liquidity, security, and institutional suitability. Lido charges a 10% fee on the staking rewards generated, with part allocated to node operators and part going into the DAO treasury.
Additionally, $LDO's main current use remains governance. Whether protocol revenue can effectively reflect the token price depends on whether the DAO introduces profit sharing, buybacks, burns, or other value capture mechanisms.When AI Starts Opening Wallets to Buy Computing Power: The Micro-Settlement Revolution in the Machine Economy Era
A few days ago, while exploring several open-source AI Agent frameworks running automated workflows, I encountered a particularly interesting real-world dilemma.
At that time, the AI Agent tried to call a third-party paid data API and simultaneously rent three seconds of temporary GPU computing power to run large model inference. Calculated by computing power consumption, the actual cost of that interaction was only $0.003. But when the AI tried to settle the payment, the existing traditional Web2 payment channels completely blocked it.
Think about it: current credit cards, bank cards, and Stripe payment interfaces are all designed specifically for human users.
They require users to fill in their names, enter card numbers, receive mobile verification codes, and even go through manual KYC verification. Not to mention, traditional card payment channels charge a fixed fee of two to three cents per transaction plus a 3% commission. For an AI Agent that needs to perform thousands of high-frequency micro-interactions every second, this traditional financial infrastructure is an insurmountable physical barrier.
AI agents don’t need fancy graphical user interfaces, nor can they queue at bank counters to open accounts. What they urgently need is a purely code- and protocol-based millisecond-level micro-settlement network.
This is why recently, technical solutions based on the HTTP 402 protocol and signature-free smart wallets have suddenly become popular. Under the new machine payment paradigm, when an AI Agent initiates a data request, it can directly attach a $0.001 encrypted stablecoin in the code request header. The transaction is instantly confirmed on low-fee chains like Solana or Base, and the recipient’s server receives the on-chain proof, responding within milliseconds and releasing the computing power channel.
People have often complained that besides speculation and transfers, cryptocurrencies have struggled to find truly large-scale physical application scenarios.
That’s because people have habitually focused their attention on human users, trying to compete with the extremely smooth Web2 experience.
But they overlook one fact: the majority of future internet traffic and transaction activities may not be generated by humans at all, but by hundreds of millions of AI Agents running 24/7.
Machine-to-machine (M2M) value exchange involves no emotional bias and requires no complex legal contracts; they only recognize deterministic code and real-time on-chain settlement. This micro-payment blue ocean driven by AI agents may be the most hardcore and irreplaceable foundational landing point for cryptographic technology.
Finally, a question for friends: in the next five years, who do you think will be the first to inject continuous real payment demand into crypto networks — new retail users from Web2, or AI Agents with their own treasuries on-chain?

If it fails to break through the $105 mark for a long time,
Chasing high prices doesn't offer great value for money
——
So the logic behind this order is quite simple
What I short is not a rise in US stocks
I'm short on US stocks and Korean stocks—both are rising
Crypto still remains relatively weak and unable to keep up
A truly strong market
There won't be all good news outside
I was still falling down
From 1880 to 1895, it was impossible to recover
I kept holding on
But 100 times is no joke
Even if you look for the right direction, you must hold the strong line
Follow! Keep building your strategy! Stay steady!
Let's make sure this deal survives first
Then consider taking the full market price

#财报观察员: AI infrastructure earnings report debuts one after another If the AI bubble bursts, will BTC become a safe-haven asset, or will it fall along with Nvidia?
AI has become one of the most crowded narratives in global capital markets. Computing power, data centers, chips, and model companies have absorbed massive amounts of capital, and the market has begun discussing whether massive capital investments can yield sufficient returns.
If one day AI trading experiences a major correction, what will $BTC do?
Optimists believe BTC does not depend on the profits of any AI company, and its supply will not expand due to increased capital expenditure, making it a scarce asset outside of tech bubbles.
Pessimists argue that BTC is still essentially a highly volatile risk asset. If AI stocks crash and trigger US deleveraging, funds will prioritize selling liquidity positions, making it hard for BTC to remain unaffected.
Both judgments can occur, just in different chronological order.
The first stage is usually a liquidity shock.
When the market suddenly panics, investors often sell not the worst assets, but the ones that are easiest to sell. BTC is traded around the clock and has ample liquidity, and is likely to fall along with tech stocks. ETH, SOL, and AI concept coins may see even greater drawdowns, as they also face declining risk appetite and leveraged liquidations.
The second stage is asset repricing.
If the AI adjustment is simply due to overvaluations and earnings falling short of expectations, while the economy and financial system remain stable, funds may return to cash, US Treasuries, and undervalued tech stocks, and BTC may not benefit immediately.
If the AI bubble bursts further trigger credit issues, forcing the Federal Reserve to release liquidity, BTC may resume trading narratives of monetary easing, fiscal bailouts, and non-sovereign scarce assets.
This logic is very similar to the 2020 model: when a crisis occurs, BTC can be sold off as a risk asset; after policy starts to inject liquidity, it may become a more resilient asset for liquidity and currency depreciation trading.
Therefore, the conclusion that "AI crash is good for BTC" is a conclusion lacking a proper process.
What really needs to be watched is whether the AI adjustment will affect the credit market, whether the Fed will change policy, and whether ETFs and long-term holders continue to absorb chips during the decline.
$ETH and $SOL face even stricter questions: Are the growth of AI agents, stablecoin payments, and on-chain applications real demand, or stories magnified by the AI boom?
If real usage continues to grow, the price drop may just be a valuation reset; If so-called on-chain AI demand mainly relies on token speculation, the bubble bursting will cause both narratives to fade simultaneously.
On the first day the AI bubble burst, BTC may not be gold; Only when the market begins to debate who will rescue liquidity may BTC return to being that scarce asset not controlled by a single company.Terrible! Miners lose money every time they dig, Puell Multiple drops to 0.71
This is the ratio of $BTC miners' daily income to the average over the past year. Currently, miners' daily income is only 71% of the normal level.
What's even tougher is the cost—a listed mining company costs nearly $80,000 in cash to mine one BTC, while the token price is only 63,000, so mining loses 19,000. This year, public miners have already sold 28,000 BTC
But interestingly—miners aren't dumping their shares like crazy
MPI dropped to negative territory, and miners' reserves dropped from 41,900 to 41,900. Only 22 tokens were sold in just a few months, showing reluctance to sell, not clearing out
In 2018, Puell dropped to 0.28; in 2022, 0.35; and in 2024, 0.49. Every time it hits a low point, it follows a major rally
ETFs are buying, miners aren't selling, supply shrinks, demand increases—I've seen this scene before
Just 🚀 hold onto itDirectly translating OG shipment as 'summit' is so convenient.
According to Wu, early Bitcoin holders have realized trading profits in this cycle to record highs, and ETFs and digital asset treasury company DAT are becoming the main recipients of funds.
Market divergences are also here: old chips are taking profits in concentrated fashion, which does put temporary selling pressure on BTC; But the shift from retail investors on exchanges to structural buying like ETFs and listed companies' Treasury also indicates a shift in the level of support.
For traders, the focus is not on simply labeling OG shipments, but on monitoring whether net ETF inflows and DAT holdings can continue to cover on-chain selling pressure. Once support weakens, BTC pullbacks will accelerate.

#BTC #Crypto100WMarket Analysis | Update on U.S. Crypto Regulatory Landscape: CLARITY Act Delayed, SEC Introduces New Regulations
📌 Core: Senate vote on the CLARITY Act postponed to September 15, causing the market's approval probability to drop sharply; The SEC shifted to August 14 to advance the Regulation Crypto draft for public comment, shifting regulatory direction.
Key points
1. CLARITY Act Setback: House and committees passed smoothly, but Senate votes were delayed, Polymarket's approval expectation dropped from 82% to 21%, cooling short-term congressional legislative expectations.
2. SEC alternative: Atkins is pushing for Crypto regulation, shifting its approach from tough crackdowns to clear rules and exemptions; On the 14th, it was only decided to initiate public consultation, with official implementation expected as early as 2027, with limited short-term substantive impact.
3. Capital Divergence Logic: Long-term positive for BTC, with compliance frameworks gradually clarifying; Negative for most altcoins, ongoing qualitative risks of "whether they qualify as securities," with higher regulatory uncertainty. Night session analysis: The Bitcoin falls below 63,000—the three-day "iron bottom" is broken tonight
At 12:30 a.m., $BTC BTC plunged from 63,341 to 62,818 on a 15-minute moving average. The "iron bottom" of 63,163, confirmed for three consecutive days, was broken through.
After the 8:30 PM PPI data came out, BTC was originally fluctuating calmly between 63,600 and 63,900, seemingly planning to stay stable overnight under a moderate CPI + PPI combination. But after 11 PM, the trend shifted. The price fell from 63,911 all the way down, with no rebound or support, and by early morning it accelerated downward, with a line breaking through 63,163 and hitting a low of 62,818. Now at 62,826, it's just one step away from the 62,800 mark.
$ETH Weakened in tandem, sliding from 1895 all the way to 1863, approaching the August 11 low of 1852. Now at 1863.
Three hours ago, in my evening analysis, I wrote: "Strong retail data, soft landing narrative holds, and BTC has the confidence to break upward; Weak data, 63163 is very likely to be held in. " Even before the retail data is released, 63163 is already unsustainable. This shows the market is not waiting for tomorrow's data, but is pricing in a "recession" ahead of time—after the inflation benefits are exhausted, funds are starting to rush ahead of expectations of weakening retail sales.
Structurally, what does a break below 63,163 mean? Since the decline started at 65,500 on August 10, the low trajectory has been 63,776→ 63,405→ 63,163. Each low is being refreshed, and now 62,818 is the fourth level. The bears haven't stopped, with defenses moving downward one by one. If 62,800 can't hold, the next stop is 62,000, followed by the early 61,500 area.
Key Levels: BTC's 63,163 has shifted from support to resistance; below 62,800 is tonight's low; if it breaks, target 62,000. ETH above 1872 is resistance; below 1863 is tonight's low, 1852 is the August 11 low; if broken, target 1820.
Tonight's breakout could be a preview for tomorrow. If retail data is weak tomorrow night as well, 62,800 is most likely just a passing point.
#CPI与PPI同步降温, the rate hike divide widened
#财报观察员: AI infrastructure earnings report debuts one after another
#马斯克称AI将占SpaceX价值99% The BTCFi track is undergoing a strategic battle between the fast EVM ecosystem and Bitcoin's native pure security, with the core conflict centered on the balance between the trust cost of relay node data synchronization and the efficiency of institutional liquidity release.
Currently, the ranking of capital drivers on the market is: the efficiency of institutional custody systems in attracting large capital, the speed of application implementation brought by EVM compatibility, and the decentralized synchronization quality of relay nodes.
In the upward scenario, if institutional funds prioritize the flexible lock-up cycle of the EVM all-powerful ecosystem, dual-staking mining will continue to release liquidity premiums. In this scenario, rapidly scaling cross-chain financial applications will attract developers to migrate, thereby enhancing $CORE's premium power in ecosystem assets.
The key to determining the persistence of the upward scenario lies in the stability of relay data synchronization and the scale of assets managed by institutions. Once there is a technical delay or decentralization progress lags behind relay synchronization, the breakthrough scenario becomes ineffective.
In a downward scenario, if market risk aversion dominates, funds will return to the native minimalist architecture without cross-chain middleware. At this point, due to the complexity of relay nodes synchronizing staking data, valuations will face safety discounts and capital outflow pressures.
If the relay mechanism faces data verification risks or institutional custody is hindered, the market will accelerate toward a more decentralized native conservative path, and funds will withdraw from multifunctional public chains.
The most important variable to watch in the next seven days is the synchronized decentralization progress of relay nodes and the scale of new staking accumulation under the institutional custody system.
#高盛收购Neos, crypto ETFs shift to earnings competition. #芯片股领涨, South Korean stocks rebounded over 22% in ten days, #黄金维持高位 the Bank of Korea returned to the marketMarket Analysis | Major Update for Hyperliquid, Rising Dividend Expectations for Crypto Stocks
📌 Core: Hyperliquid has completed a technical upgrade at the underlying level, possessing the technical conditions for automatic dividends on tokenized stocks. The market expects that future platform cryptocurrencies will support dividend mechanisms, strengthening the on-chain broker + RWA narrative.
Key points
1. This launch of the ScaleWei module solves the challenges of on-chain token stock dividends and stock splits, enabling automatic dividend distribution based on holdings; Currently, only infrastructure has been implemented; dividend products have not yet been officially launched.
2. Positive logic: Filling the gap in crypto equity is expected to attract allocation funds and boost sentiment in the HYPE and RWA sectors.
3. Risk Warning: This is an expectation-driven positive trend with regulatory uncertainty. In the short term, sentiment pulses dominate, so be cautious of the positive signs being realized and pullback. $BTC ETF inflows are massive… so why isn’t Bitcoin moving? 👀 Billions of dollars have flowed into spot Bitcoin ETFs, yet BTC keeps getting trapped in the same sideways range. Here’s the part most retail traders miss: Not every ETF inflow is a bullish bet. Some institutions are buying spot ETFs while simultaneously shorting CME Bitcoin futures through a cash-and-carry arbitrage strategy. So while the spot market shows huge “buying,” the derivatives market can be creating an equally powerful sour$BTC has once again closed below 200 MA
In August 2022, BTC closed below 200 MA → a new bottom formed 80 days later
My roadmap for next 3 months:
August → relief rally
September → downtrend begins
November → cycle bottom
If pattern holds, bottom should form around $45K in October
Turn on notifs, I’ll update🚨 PPI COOLED — BUT CRYPTO STILL CAN’T CATCH A BID 👀
Good macro data. Weak follow-through.
That’s the most interesting part of tonight’s market.
The latest PPI print came in softer than expected, reinforcing the idea that producer-price pressure is easing and keeping the door open for a less restrictive Fed.
Yet crypto barely responded.
$BTC bounced briefly before surrendering the move. $ETH remains below $1,900, $SOL is still range-bound, while $XRP and $DOGE haven't attracted convincing momentum.
That doesn't automatically mean the market is bearish.
It may mean the catalyst isn't enough anymore.
📊 KEY LEVELS
🟠 $BTC — around $63.3K
The $62.8K–$63K area remains important support. Bulls need to reclaim roughly $63.8K–$64.2K to make the structure meaningfully stronger.
🔵 $ETH — $1,850–$1,880
This area is becoming an important base, but $1,900 remains the psychological barrier.
🟣 $SOL — $72–$77
Still trapped inside the range. A decisive break is needed before chasing momentum.
🟢 $XRP / $DOGE
Still lacking the volume and follow-through needed to confirm a broader risk-on rotation.
🔥 THE BIGGER SIGNAL
CPI has cooled. PPI has cooled.
Yet prices aren't exploding higher.
That tells us the market is looking beyond inflation headlines.
Liquidity. Positioning. Yields. Confidence.
If positive macro news stops producing downside, while sellers struggle to push price through support, that can eventually become a sign of accumulation.
But confirmation matters.
This isn't breakout season yet.
It may be the boring phase where weak hands disappear before the next decisive move.
Don't force the trade.
Let price prove the direction.

#CPIPPIEaseFedSplit
#AIInfraEarningsWatch
#DailyOrbit I keep asking myself, is it because my skills are lacking, or am I just not cut out for this circle?
It's not that I can't understand candlestick charts, but it's really hard to withstand the psychological pressure brought by leverage. Whenever the market fluctuates, my mindset easily gets unsettled, leading to impulsive entries and reluctance to cut losses, and one wrong step results in continuous losses.Money is coming in, so why can't BTC and ETH rise?
In the recent crypto market, I think the most common misjudgment is that ETF data doesn't look as bad as the market suggests. In the first week of August, US BTC and ETH spot ETFs saw a combined net inflow of about $1.1 billion, with BTC accounting for roughly $865 million and ETH about $244 million. According to previous thinking, when funds of this level return, the market should at least react.
Looking back now, BTC is still grinding around $63,000, and ETH is even below $1,900.
This is quite interesting.
Many people, seeing ETFs flowing in, immediately react with "institutions are bottom-fishing," assuming the next step should be price increases. But ETF buying has never been the only cash flow in the market. If institutions buy hundreds of millions in a day, miners, whales, long-term holders, and the futures market happen to have more chips selling, and the result on the K-line might just be sideways trading.
In other words, the problem now may not be that no one is buying, but that someone keeps selling.
BTC is especially evident. Since coming down from last year's high, it has been trading repeatedly above $60,000 for a long time, naturally attracting many people wanting to exit even, take profits, or readjust their positions. ETF funds coming in is like people constantly taking water from below, but the tap above is still on, so what you see isn't a sharp rise, but the price is stuck in a range.
ETH is even more troublesome.
BTC at least still has a very simple institutional allocation logic called "digital gold." Besides ETF funds, ETH also has to compete with SOL and various high-beta assets for internal crypto funds. Conservative funds think $BTC is simpler, while aggressive funds think ETH lacks elasticity and directly turn to $SOL and hot altcoins, leaving ETH caught in the middle. So what ETH really needs now may not be another positive factor, but that capital is willing to actively increase risk.
However, I actually think this kind of market is more worth watching than the $ETH ETF where no one buys at all.
Because if funds keep flowing in but prices don't rise for a long time, it essentially means the market is undergoing massive chip swaps. The real key is which side is exhausted first: if the selling above is gradually eaten up by ETFs and spot funds, the subsequent $100 million buying pressure on the price may become more pronounced; But if ETF inflows start to weaken and prices still don't rise, it means the real selling pressure in the market may be greater than we imagine.
So recently, I won't be calling for a bull market just because I saw a net ETF inflow in one day, nor will I think institutional funds are useless just because BTC is flat and ETH is falling.
I'm more eager to wait for a signal: when the same size of buying suddenly starts to clearly push prices up.
Money coming in and not rising is not scary.
What really needs to be wary is that money keeps coming in, but the selling price never finishes the deal.
What BTC and ETH are really engaging in now may not be a battle over bullish or bearish directions, but rather who will run out of chips first.
#现货ETF资金分化, BTC selling pressure remains #ETH #Bitcoin #Ethereum #SOL #ETF #Crypto #加密货币 #星球日报 PPI forecast tonight: Is there a new bullish wave or is it a "Buy the rumor, sell the news" trick?
Inflation data (July CPI): Up 3.4% YoY and up only 0.1% MoM confirm that inflation is under control.
PPI forecast tonight: Expected at 4.9% (down from 5.5% in the previous period). If it is true as forecasted, this is just a piece of the puzzle that continues the cooling momentum that the CPI has established, it is difficult to create a big surprise.
BTC price movement: After the CPI news, BTC soared to $63,800 and immediately fell sharply by more than 1,000 to the $62,700 area — a clear demonstration of the "Buy when there are rumors, sell when you know".
Perspective: Even if tonight's PPI comes out as expected, the possibility of making a 2nd sustainable breakthrough is very difficult. The most likely scenario is still to jerk up a beat and then turn down. Beware of firewood!
$BTC One of the interesting questions to ponder for this upcoming crypto bull market is whether the bear market winners continue to outperform.
Previously, we mostly had new winners once the bull market got going and things that did well in the bear market actually ended up being laggards. LINK the major example from 19-20.
One exception that comes to mind is BNB, which made a new ATH in the bear and ripped incredibly hard in 2021. Feel like this is the correct place to say Hyperliquid.
Overall, I think crypto as an asset class is much more mature going into 2027 and beyond.
I think we have left the speculative phase, and therefore it's conceivable to assume that the winners of this bear market could continue to do well, as many of them are doing well because they are actually generating revenue, and it feels like this is the cycle where actual adoption is rewarded.
I still also believe ZEC will be an outlier as it essentially did nothing for like 10 years, and has maintained a year long outperformance trend vs BTC, which is maybe a first for a project after doing so badly against BTC for such a long time.
Anyway, food for thought, and worth not just blindly assuming you already have the winning bags because they are doing well right now.
#DailyOrbit WHAT IF THE LAST $BTC DUMP ISN'T COMING? Almost everyone I know is positioned for it. One final flush. One clean macro bottom. Then straight up into the next bull run. But this cycle has already broken the old playbook multiple times: - ATH printed before the halving - Bottoms showing up earlier than usual - A top that could also land earlier The cycle is shifting while most traders are still trading the old 4 year script. That's the mistake I keep seeing. The market has a habit of punishing the
