Microsoft's integration of Saudi Arabia's ALLAM model highlights the channel restructuring between sovereign AI and multinational giants, with the market reassessing the marginal impact of AI Agent deployment pace on risk appetite and capital allocation in the tech sector.
From the event transmission path perspective, the factors driving asset pricing are: sovereign capital's commitment to investing in localized AI infrastructure, monetization efficiency of enterprise-level distribution channels, and the friction costs of technical integration caused by geopolitical compliance. The collaboration between Saudi HUMAIN and Microsoft, integrating the Arabic flagship model ALLAM into Microsoft 365 Copilot and Foundry, and jointly developing region-specific Agents with stationed engineers, confirms the importance of multinational distribution channels in regional deployment.
This event transmits through risk appetite channels to the technology and chip sectors, prompting a short-term position shift from chasing monopoly premiums of single general models to reallocating towards hardware and channel ecosystems with government and enterprise deployment capabilities. If sovereign capital continues to invest in local infrastructure, the global tech sector's risk aversion will ease temporarily, driving risk capital to concentrate on the B-end Agent deployment chain.
The upside scenario trigger condition is: Microsoft Foundry and Microsoft 365 Copilot successfully complete deep integration of the ALLAM model and Agent in real industries such as energy and finance. At this point, it is necessary to observe the actual conversion rate of government and enterprise B-end orders and subsequent investments by Middle Eastern sovereign capital in related infrastructure. If B-end Agent payment willingness significantly increases without compliance blockages, capital will substantially increase positions in computing power channels and enterprise service distribution targets. The failure signal is technical integration stagnation caused by regional compliance reviews.
The downside scenario trigger condition is: rising geopolitical compliance policy barriers or data sovereignty restrictions cause the joint development progress of the engineering team to fall below expectations. Variables to watch include the speed of regional compliance review implementation and cross-border API call obstructions. Once compliance barriers interrupt system integration, market risk aversion toward sovereign AI commercial deployment will rapidly rise, triggering indiscriminate withdrawal of early-stage B-end monetization positions. The failure signal is the issuance of a clear compliance exemption list by sovereign entities.
The current judgment failure conditions in this scenario are if general large models achieve breakthrough technological compression in multilingual and cross-cultural scenarios, causing local models to lose independent value; or if global tech capital liquidity is hit again due to renewed tightening of macro inflation expectations, leading to a systemic decline in sovereign capital's willingness to invest in AI infrastructure.
Key variables to observe in the next 7 days are the interface deployment progress of the joint Microsoft and HUMAIN engineering team on the Foundry platform and initial trial feedback from Middle Eastern government and enterprise customers on the ALLAM Agent.

a-shares, Hong Kong stocks, and Korean stocks all closed higher
Crude oil continues to decline, gold and Bitcoin are under pressure and falling from high levels
It depends on what the PCE says, as it is the main indicator for measuring inflation
In the first half of the year, due to geopolitical oil price impacts, inflation was sticky and declined slowly
Reviewing July, WTI crude oil rose 21.65%, Brent +20.29%
But the core PCE excludes the most seasonally volatile components, such as food and energy
Therefore, if consumption levels rise, meaning higher than expected, rate hike expectations heat up (gold and Bitcoin under pressure); if as expected, little impact; if lower than expected, rate hike expectations cool down (gold and Bitcoin get support)
Here is July personal spending, which is related to consumer confidence
When personal spending increases along with rising inflation pressure, rate hike expectations also rise; conversely, rate hike expectations cool down
As for me, I am optimistic about it being lower than or equal to expectations because July PPI declinedIn 1859, Darwin wrote a phrase in On the Origin of Species that changed human understanding—"The species that survives is neither the strongest nor the smartest, but the most adaptable to change." More than 160 years later, I realized this saying applies not only to living things. It also applies to money. If you see every kind of currency as a species, and the global economy as an ecosystem, you will see a magnificent evolutionary history. And Bitcoin is by far the most perfect adapter in this natural selection. Money is a species, not a tool. This is the premise of understanding Bitcoin. Most people think money is a man-made tool—the government invents it, the central bank manages it, and banks distribute it. But if you stretch the timeline to five thousand years, you find money was not "invented" at all. It was "selected." Just like in nature, it was not God who created the fittest, but the environment that eliminated the unfit. Shells once ruled human trade for thousands of years. From Pacific islands to the African interior, from ancient China to indigenous peoples, shells were the most widely distributed primitive currency worldwide. Why was it eliminated? Not because someone declared "shells are no longer money," but because a more environmentally adapted competitor emerged—metal currency. Shells were too fragile, too easy to obtain, too easy to counterfeit. When bronze and iron civilizations rose, shells naturally lost out in competition. No one voted to eliminate shells; they simply lost in natural selection. Gold: The top species in the atomic world Why gold?According to Xiaowei Finance on August 26, BitPool (B.TOP) founder Jiang Zhuoer stated in a post that on the first trading day of the U.S. stock market after the weekend's sharp rise, ETF capital flows have become a key indicator. Data shows that Bitcoin ETFs had a net inflow of $314 million, while Ethereum ETFs had net inflows of $180 million. The U.S. stock market is heavily funded, indicating that this round of gains has been further confirmed by capital, and the probability of Bitcoin falling back below the $67,000 starting point is very low. At the same time, the inflow into Ethereum ETFs accounts for 57.2% of Bitcoin, significantly higher than the 18.8% share of ETH/BTC's total market capitalization. Based on this, he believes ETH will continue to play the role of the "engine" for this bull market. With Trump's strong embrace of blockchain and the advancement of the CLARITY Act, financial assets such as the US dollar, US stocks, and US bonds may further move onto blockchain, be tokenized, and possess smart contract capabilities. He believes this will encourage more traditional financial practitioners to understand and invest in the blockchain ecosystem.Most crypto traders watch Bitcoin when the market gets volatile, but today there is another number worth watching: Core PCE. It is one of the inflation measures the Fed watches closely, and the result can change expectations around interest rates, liquidity, and risk assets. Here’s the part many traders miss: A “good” inflation number is not automatically bullish, and a “bad” number is not automatically bearish. The market reacts to the difference between what was expected and what actually arri$ETH ETH at $2,447 — Record ETF Inflows, Price Stalls
$697M ETF inflow last week — **highest of the year**. Gas fees $2.1M→$8.2M/day, ETH back in deflation. Yet price stuck at $2,447.
Why no move? 30% weekly gain → RSI 70→80+, overbought. Q4 Glamsterdam upgrade still far — no fresh catalyst.
$2,500–$2,546 is ceiling; $2,400 is support. Break $2,500 → $2,600. Lose $2,400 → caution.
Trend intact, just tired. Let it breathe. Don't chase.Jiang Zhuoer said the bear market is 90% over, but I won't go all-in directly
After Jiang Zhuoer proposed that "90% of the bear market is already over," many in the community took this as a signal to go all-in with leverage on BTC and BNB, expecting a bull market to take off immediately.
Reviewing his full strategy, he is not calling for everyone to all-in at once. He still reserves 20-30% cash, plans to wait for a pullback range to continue adding positions in batches, and will use contracts to hedge and protect spot positions, accepting that there is still a 10% downside risk in the market.
On-chain data also supports this: miner sell pressure has weakened, but whales still transfer chips to exchanges in batches at high levels. BTC's key watershed at 80000 faces repeated resistance, with support at 77800. Coins like XRP and OKB have not collectively exploded, showing clear characteristics of stock game.
What the expert is talking about is a long-term probabilistic judgment, not a guarantee of an immediate surge. Big players can withstand 20-30% drawdowns, but ordinary retail investors with leverage get liquidated with even a slight pullback. You can learn from his cycle thinking, but position sizes should be based on your own risk tolerance.
Risk warning: Cycle judgments are probabilistic in nature; the market still carries black swan risks. Do not take cycle views as direct short-term trading instructions. #BTC突破80000美元，能否站稳新关口 #杰克逊霍尔临近，沃什能否明确政策路径 #美扩大对伊制裁，海峡复航谈判推进 $BTC $ETH $SOL Microsoft announced a long-term strategic partnership with Saudi AI organization HUMAIN, directly integrating its Arabic flagship model ALLAM into Microsoft Foundry and Microsoft 365 Copilot, and deploying cutting-edge engineers to jointly develop region-specific Agents.
This move sends a very clear signal that the global AI competition is accelerating from a unilateral output of general large models to a new stage of sovereign AI and regional localization implementation.
For a long time, Silicon Valley giants have led the world with advantages in computing power and English-language corpora, but in specific regional markets such as the Middle East, language habits, religious and cultural compliance, and data sovereignty demands have created very high barriers. Multilingual models purely fine-tuned in English find it difficult to fully penetrate core government and enterprise scenarios. Microsoft's choice to directly adopt Saudi Arabia's native ALLAM model is based on the core logic of exchanging an open ecosystem for the vast government and enterprise B2B market and oil capital support in the Middle East.
This cooperation model reveals a key division of labor for future AI commercialization: regions with strong sovereign capital like the Middle East are responsible for building proprietary models and data assets that meet local demands, while giants like Microsoft act as super conduits through operating system-level enterprise distribution channels. This combination of sovereign models plus multinational distribution channels will greatly accelerate the penetration of AI Agents in real industries such as energy and finance.
Do you think the future global AI ecosystem will move toward an absolute monopoly of a few general models, or a diversified pattern divided by sovereign models of various countries? On August 26, Jiang Zhuo'er, founder of Lebit Mining Pool (B.TOP), posted that on the first trading day of US stocks after the weekend's big rally, ETF capital flows became a key indicator to watch. Data shows Bitcoin ETFs saw a net inflow of $314 million, while Ethereum ETFs saw a net inflow of $180 million. US stock funds are chasing the bullish trend, which means this round of rally is further confirmed by funds, and the probability of Bitcoin falling below the $67,000 starting point is very low. Meanwhile, Ethereum ETF inflows account for 57.2% of Bitcoin's, significantly higher than the 18.8% share of ETH/BTC's total market cap. Based on this, he believes ETH will continue to play the role of the "engine" for this bull market. With Trump's strong embrace of blockchain and the advancement of the CLARITY Act, financial assets such as the US dollar, US stocks, and Treasuries may further go on-chain, tokenized, and become smart contracts in the future. He believes this will encourage more traditional finance professionals to understand and invest in related blockchain ecosystemsListening to Arthur Hayes' statements can lead to pitfalls; it's better to look at on-chain wallets than just his words
Arthur Hayes, as a macro expert, once publicly favored $HYPE, setting a target price of $150, attracting many retail investors to rush in. However, not long after, his wallet address completed a full liquidation, and many who followed blindly got stuck at the high point.
I also fell into a similar trap before. After reading his tweets, I heavily invested in $ZEC, ignoring the real on-chain transfer records. Later, during a review, I understood: public statements are opinions, but on-chain transfers reflect his real money moves. Statements can change anytime, but wallet inflows and outflows are hard to fake.
At the same time, market data shows HYPE's 24-hour turnover rate has long stayed above 70%, with frequent contract liquidations, making it a high-risk coin with fast capital in and out. BTC and $ETH also have significant volatility, but their chip structures are relatively stable.
Now my habit is: first check what his wallet is really buying or selling, then read the tweets; the order must not be reversed. What the big players say and what they actually do can be completely different.

BTC ETF: $314 million in a single day, $3.03 billion accumulated in August
On August 26, the US spot Bitcoin ETF recorded a single-day net inflow of $314 million, marking the 7th consecutive trading day of positive inflows. The cumulative net inflow in August has reached $3.03 billion, just $390 million short of the monthly inflow record of $3.42 billion set in October 2025. At this pace, breaking the record in the remaining 4 trading days of August is almost certain.
Institutional details: BlackRock IBIT contributed $284 million, Fidelity FBTC added $15.4 million, Bitwise BITB added $3 million, and MSBT added $4.5 million.
ETH ETF: 7 consecutive days, $180 million per day
The Ethereum spot ETF also saw net inflows for 7 consecutive trading days, with a single-day net inflow of $179.8 million on Tuesday. BlackRock ETHA net inflow was $146 million, Fidelity FETH net inflow was $25.8 million.
To be honest
But one detail is worth noting—the price and funds are diverging. During the 7 consecutive days of ETF inflows, BTC actually fell from above 80,000 to around 78,880. The incremental funds did not push the price up, indicating that the buying is absorbing profit-taking and leverage liquidations, rather than new one-sided capital setting the price.

#BTC突破80000美元，能否站稳新关口
#杰克逊霍尔临近，沃什能否明确政策路径 $BTC Due to character limits, brothers, please check the image, all of Lolo's analysis and thoughts are here If tonight's market is a quiet chessboard, then tomorrow's Nvidia earnings report will be the first heavy stone about to fall. Have you noticed BTC is stuck in the narrow alley between 79K and 81K, no longer fluctuating like it was a few days ago? Last night, BTC tried above 80K but was gently pushed back as if hitting an invisible ceiling, now retreating back to around 79K. ETH is around 2470, SOL about 99, overall in a "breathing still" state. Prices haven't moved, but the derivatives market has changed — funding rates have shifted from hot to cool, indicating leveraged funds are actively pulling back before earnings reports; no one wants to be the one betting on direction before the data releases. This kind of "fake death" rhythm is actually more worth watching than big rises or falls. Because what the market is really trading isn't the current price, but Nvidia's answer sheet early tomorrow morning. It's not just an ordinary stock, but the master switch for the entire AI narrative and risk appetite. The direction of the US AI chain will directly transmit to sentiment and incremental capital willingness on the crypto side. - If the earnings report is strong and Nasdaq moves first, BTC will most likely take advantage to challenge the short-term target of 83K, and knockoffs will catch their breath. - If the data falls short of expectations, risk assets will take a short hit, and BTC may push back to lower ranges, but then it will actually be the comfort zone for the first batch of cash waiters. Many people only focus on whether prices will rise or fall, overlooking a more critical point: the current derivatives market has already...MicroStrategy holds cash but does not buy coins, this is worth being cautious about
I have been tracking MicroStrategy MSTR's on-chain and financial report data. This institution holds a cash pool of $1.59 billion specifically for buying coins, with a BTC position of 840,447 coins at an average cost of $75,385. During this round of BTC rebound above 78,000, it has not rushed to buy; instead, it sold 6,916 BTC earlier to optimize its debt structure.
Previously, the market treated MicroStrategy as a no-brainer bullish signal—whenever it raised funds, everyone would blindly rush into BTC and ETH. But now the myth has changed: having money does not mean immediately buying coins. On the contract side, the 24-hour BTC open interest remains high, with longs and shorts roughly balanced, and incremental funds are not as overwhelming as imagined. Consequently, $SOL can only follow the market's oscillation and struggles to form an independent trend.
This teaches me that if institutions do not enter the market, relying solely on retail investors and contract leverage will limit the market's potential. Do not blindly believe "big players with money will pump the market"; institutions also time their entries carefully. Now I use MSTR's coin purchase records as an indicator to verify market strength rather than as a basis for opening positions.
Risk reminder: Corporate institutional fund movements are financial behaviors and do not represent short-term price fluctuations; they should not be directly used as trading signals. #BTC突破80000美元，能否站稳新关口 #杰克逊霍尔临近，沃什能否明确政策路径 #美扩大对伊制裁，海峡复航谈判推进 $BTC $ETH $SOL $BTC BTC at $79K — Real Pullback or Just a Fakeout?
BTC hit $81,255 (3-month high) and pulled back to $79,000. Sound familiar? $80K has been rejected multiple times now.
The rally was real: ~$2B ETF net inflow last week — institutions buying hard. Treasury buybacks weakening USD — macro tailwinds intact.
The pullback was also real: 25% weekly gain → overbought RSI; extreme greed (80); heavy resistance at $80K — triple whammy triggered profit-taking.
Trend intact, but needs cooling: $80,000**$BTC's recent surge stems from a major drop in AI, combined with Wall Street promoting dollar devaluation, leading a large influx of funds into the crypto market for safe haven! A weekly gain of over 24% was driven by a short whale liquidation causing a cascade of liquidations! Now, with the US debt crisis reemerging (new maturity of 840 billion with no takers), the dollar index is expected to rebound and strengthen! Bitcoin and Ethereum are likely to enter a downward correction phase!#BTC突破80000美元，能否站稳新关口
The 80,000 mark, I think, is not that easy to hold.
BTC has broken through 80,000, indeed moving fiercely, rising from 64,000 in a week, with ETF net inflows of 1.9 billion dollars, and shorts liquidated by over 4 billion.
But honestly, I’m not confident about this level.
This rally is different from the last one; this wave heavily relies on ETFs and short squeezes, representing passive buying, not a push driven by continuous new capital inflows. Also, there is a large amount of trapped positions accumulated around 80,000 that need to be slowly digested. A pullback right after touching this level is highly probable.
Another variable is this week’s Jackson Hole symposium. If Powell speaks dovishly, it will take off directly; if hawkish, it might pull back to 73,000 or even lower.
My simple thought: don’t chase. Wait until it stabilizes. Holding cash is more reassuring than being trapped at the peak. $ETH Tonight's in-depth analysis of PCE: Inflation data landing will determine the Fed's direction in September 👍 At 20:30 Beijing time on Wednesday evening, the U.S. Department of Commerce's Bureau of Economic Analysis will release the July PCE Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index. This is the inflation indicator most closely watched by the Federal Reserve, and this report will directly influence the market's judgment on whether to raise interest rates in September. The previously released July CPI and PPI have not yet shown signs of inflation accelerating again. Reviewing June's PCE, it experienced the first month-on-month decline since 2020, dropping by 0.11%. Institutions generally predict a slight rebound in overall PCE for July, with a month-on-month increase of about 0.1%, and the year-on-year figure expected to slightly fall from June's 3.7% to around 3.6%. After excluding volatile items like food and energy, core inflation pressure remains significant. The mainstream market expectation is that July's core PCE year-on-year will hold steady at 3.3%, the same as June; core PCE month-on-month is expected to rise from 0.1% to 0.2%. Calculated, the U.S. core PCE year-on-year has been above the Fed's 2% inflation target for 65 consecutive months. Given the current situation, the Fed does not yet have enough confidence to declare that the battle against inflation is completely over. Two new factors are stirring core inflation Many investment bank analysts mention that inflation disturbances caused by tariffs are basically no longer visible, but new forces are still pushing prices higher. One is the expansion of the AI industry. Analysts from the French Foreign Trade Bank state that the AI wave is driving data center construction and increases in computer hardware and software prices.At this point, it might be wise to consider retreating! Nvidia is about to release its earnings report after the US stock market closes, which is early tomorrow morning. I believe that regardless of the earnings report outcome, there will be a major crash in crypto. Let's break it down step by step. —————————————————— If Nvidia's earnings meet expectations, its stock price will most likely decline. Because its market cap is currently very high, just meeting expectations won't be enough to sustain the current stock price. It must exceed expectations to possibly maintain the current stock price. Once Nvidia's stock price falls, the entire US tech stock sector will be dragged down. Because its market cap is so large, it can influence the entire market. Once the US tech stock sector declines, many institutions will indiscriminately sell off. And crypto, having already surged significantly, will be the first to be sold off. Crypto is very likely to crash hard. —————————————————— If Nvidia's earnings exceed expectations, stocks like SanDisk will probably see a significant rebound. At that time, crypto might come under pressure because a lot of risk capital will withdraw to stocks like SanDisk. This is the best-case scenario I have deduced, and the only outcome where crypto can maintain its current price. However, I think the probability of Nvidia's earnings exceeding expectations is relatively low. In the current market environment, it would be good enough if their earnings just meet expectations. —————————————————— If Nvidia's earnings fall short of expectations, then it might face a downturn.Gold's high-level volatility actually indicates that it is no longer just a safe-haven trade.
In the past, many people bought gold thinking about war, inflation, or a weak dollar. But this cycle is more complex: fiscal credit, long-term bond yields, central bank purchases, ETF funds, AI bubble anxiety—all crowded into the same asset.
This makes gold very strong but also very crowded. Because when everyone buys the same asset for different reasons, the price may continue to hold firm in the short term, but once the Fed speaks, bond market sentiment shifts, or the dollar rebounds changing expectations, volatility can be fierce.
I don't think the gold story is over. It's just that chasing it at this level can't be explained by the word "safe-haven" alone. Are you buying protection, or are you buying a sense of security that others have already crowded into?
#黄金高位震荡，机构资金继续看涨 Concentration is decreasing, and chips are starting to loosen!
As of August 24, the highest chip peak — the accumulation at $63,000 — has dropped from a peak of 1.22 million to 980,000;
while the bar next to it at $62,000 shows little change, indicating that the short-term price rally has little impact on the chips here.
As we deduced in the possible future scenarios on August 21 (see the quote): once chips start to loosen, the price will either consolidate or even pull back.
A new chip concentration area will then form. Because the price staying put provides an opportunity for turnover.
Now it seems the $76,000-$77,000 range has the potential to become a new chip concentration area (Figure 1).
In just 3 days, 320,000 BTC were added in this range.
At the same time, when BTC broke through to $77,000-$78,000,
a strong wave of profit-taking occurred, the largest scale in nearly 6 months (Figure 2).
But even so, the price did not drop significantly.
Clearly, there is capital absorbing the supply here.
Assuming a new chip peak can indeed form near $76,000-$77,000, do you remember the "double anchor structure" theory? Then the subsequent BTC pullback will very likely fall in the middle of the structure.
That is roughly around $68,000-$70,000. $ETH $BTC $SOL Fundamental Research Report $FLOKI / Floki (Meme/Payment) $3.20

#FundamentalResearchReport #Crypto #Research #OKXOrbitIs this related to the U.S. repurchasing long-term Treasury bonds? This surge isn't just for one reason; several factors come together. Saying "the Treasury bought Treasury bonds so the price increase" is actually only half the story. The trigger was news from the U.S. Treasury. The U.S. announced it would double the scale of long-term Treasury repurchases from $2 billion to $4 billion. This background is crucial: U.S. Treasuries just broke through $40 trillion, long-term rates keep climbing, and the yield on 30-year Treasuries once reached its highest level since 2007. The government is taking action to suppress long-term yields at this time, and the market interprets it as a signal: the U.S. may not want to accept further rate hikes and may use various means to depreciate the dollar. Once this logic holds, assets like gold and Bitcoin—which you can't print—will have reasons to rise. After the news broke, the dollar weakened, and gold rose in sync with Bitcoin, confirming this logic. But the price surged within hours, mainly because shorts were liquidated in one wave. Before this surge, Bitcoin had been sluggish for several months, with a large amount of money shorting. Treasury News pushed the price upward, and after breaking through several key levels, short sellers began to be forcibly liquidated. The forced liquidation logic was: exchanges automatically went to the market to buy coins to replenish positions; when buying orders rose, the price went higher, and when prices rose, more short liquidations were triggered...... This cycle was extremely fierce. On August 19 alone, about $2.7 billion in short positions in the entire crypto market were liquidated, the highest since statistics began, with Bitcoin shorts losing over $1 billion within an hour. Then real money from institutions started entering the market. Shortoptions expiring this Friday deserve close attention!
Around 81,700 BTC options contracts are set to expire, with a total notional value of roughly $6.4 billion.
There are approximately 44,600 call options versus 37,000 puts, putting the Put/Call ratio at 0.83 and keeping the overall positioning bullish.

#WarshAtJacksonHole
#IranSanctionsAndTalks On July 11th, I mentioned that the market's phase bottom had already appeared, and the main strategy was to buy on dips. Today, I’m updating my view: this phase bottom is very likely to become the historical bottom of this cycle. In other words, the bear market is over, but that doesn’t mean there won’t be short-term pullbacks. We are currently in a non-consensus phase where market perceptions are not unified. The four-year cycle won’t disappear, but as an asset matures and is driven by macro liquidity and asset allocation, the cycle will become distorted.
There was once a view that the worse the liquidity, the more you should play small-cap assets; the better the liquidity, the more you should play large-cap assets.
Now I’m expressing a new view: play consensus assets during non-consensus times, and play non-consensus assets during consensus times.
Simply put, take $HYPE as an example. HYPE can reach new highs during a bear market; the market invests funds and consensus into these coins, so during non-consensus times, play hype. That is, exchange temporal non-consensus for asset certainty.
In the late bull market, when everyone is discussing that BTC has become mainstream consensus and even traditional funds start aggressively allocating, BTC itself may still be very good, but the odds have been compressed by consensus. At this time, you need to exchange asset non-consensus for temporal certainty.
Summary:
When no one believes in the market, believe in the best assets;
When everyone believes in the market, look for assets no one else believes in yet.
So hold onto $HYPE Recent contacts between Iran and Oman have sent some signs of easing, and the market has begun betting that shipping pressure in the Strait of Hormuz may ease. If crude oil supply risks further ease, cooling oil prices may help ease short-term inflationary pressures. Meanwhile, the U.S. continues to impose additional sanctions on networks linked to Iran, indicating that geopolitical risks have not truly disappeared. Currently, $BTC is about $81.6K, $ETH about $2.63K. If negotiations continue and energy prices fall, the reduction in risk premium could further improve crypto market sentiment and provide support for BTC and ETH. However, it should be noted that if negotiations break down, tensions in Hormuz flare up again, or the U.S. expands sanctions, oil prices and safe-haven sentiment could rebound rapidly, potentially causing sharp volatility in the crypto market. What truly deserves attention going forward is not just price, but whether geopolitical situations, oil prices, and capital flows can improve in tandem. #BTC #ETH #Iran #Crypto #Bitcoinam Cige. The U.S. is expanding financial and trade sanctions against Iran, while countries like Qatar are pushing to resume negotiations. Both sides, Iran and the U.S., are engaging on the issue of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz. Sanctions escalation and diplomatic progress are happening simultaneously. Oil prices have not risen but instead fallen, as the market believes diplomacy is closer to yielding results than sanctions.
#BTC80KHoldOrFold #WarshAtJacksonHole #IranSanctionsAndTalks The US just expanded sanctions to digital assets, and Iran immediately announced that only commercial ships are allowed through the strait, while warships are not — oil prices fell below 80, Bitcoin dropped below 79,000, and altcoins are bleeding heavily. I stared at the screen and laughed for a long time, confirming one thing: this is not the end of good news, this is the official start of Manstein's "elastic defense" — and the bulls are the enemy troops who have been lured in. ⚔️ Manstein's perspective: The bulls just finished their "blitzkrieg" and are now lured into a pocket. The core of Manstein's "elastic defense" is one sentence: actively retreat, lure the enemy deep, and then counterattack when the opponent's supply lines are stretched. The rally from 70,000 to 80,000 was the bulls' "blitzkrieg" — 4 billion shorts liquidated, a 23% rise in a week, and a 4-hour RSI soaring above 93, an extreme overbought condition. But the fuel for the blitzkrieg was the corpses of shorts, not real buying power. The shorts have been wiped out, so the fuel is gone. Now, the trap of elastic defense has been set. First, sanctions escalate, and Iran does not back down. On August 24, the US expanded sanctions to five areas including digital assets, gold, and shipping. Iran's Supreme Leader's advisor directly retorted: "The response will be more resolute than ever." Second, the strait is half open, but the other half is a trap. Iran announced that only commercial ships are allowed to pass, warships are not. At the same time, Iran's foreign minister clearly said: "The opening of the strait depends on whether the US fully accepts Iran's conditions." Oil prices fell, but the geopolitical risk premium has not disappeared — it just changed from an "open card" to a "hidden card." Third, Bitcoin has already knelt first. On the 25th, it just broke through 81 Recently, after BTC's big rally, it started to consolidate sideways. Although the overall cryptocurrency market has risen about 30% in just one week, strangely, the market doesn't seem to have experienced a particularly strong FOMO, nor the kind of crazy sentiment like "the bull market is here, hurry and go all in." I wonder if anyone else feels the same? Of course, a small portion of people did make money. For example, Brother Maji reportedly rolled over his position starting with 60,000 yuan and eventually earned over 10 million, which is indeed an extraordinary return. But the problem is, most retail investors actually missed this wave. Why? Because during the previous market downturn, many retail investors were waiting for the so-called "last dip." "If it dips one more time, I'll buy." "I'll get in when BTC drops to above 50,000." "It's not the real bottom yet." But as they waited, BTC didn't give another chance and instead pulled up directly. Now, there are still some people thinking: "It's okay, after this rally finishes, it will definitely drop again, then I'll get in." But I think this time it might not be that easy. Because the funds driving this rally may have already changed. First, those bottom-fishing this time might not be retail investors, but institutions. I recently checked the BTC balances across all exchanges, currently about 700,000 BTC. Of course, this number may vary slightly across different data platforms, but the trend is very clear: BTC on exchanges is decreasing. Why is the exchange balance worth paying attention to? Because for most$BTC
Money is still flowing in, but BTC has fallen back below 80,000.
This is more noteworthy than a simple 5% drop.
This wave has risen all the way from over 60,000, and the first half is easy to understand:
Short sellers were heavily squeezed, and the liquidations themselves created buying pressure.
But now the situation is starting to change.
ETF funds are still flowing in, but BTC hasn’t continued to surge with the positive news; instead, it has fallen back to around 79,000.
So what I want to see most now is not "when will it break 83,000."
But rather:
Money is still coming in, so why is the price starting to stall?
If BTC stabilizes above 80,000 again, I would consider it just a strong turnover.
But if ETFs keep buying and positive news keeps coming, yet the price finds it harder and harder to break through each time,
then we need to be cautious.
Because the real danger in the market often doesn’t come from big negative news.
It’s when the good news is still there, but the price no longer rewards it.
$BTC Recent negotiations between Iran and Oman over shipping issues in the Strait of Hormuz have brought new expectations of easing to the market. The latest news shows that both sides are discussing temporary shipping corridors and related security arrangements. As a result, international oil prices have continued to fall, with Brent crude once falling to around $86, easing market concerns about energy supply disruptions. Meanwhile, the U.S. continues to impose economic pressure and sanctions on Iran-related networks, indicating that geopolitical risks have not truly disappeared. Any new sanctions or unexpected negotiations could once again push energy prices and market risk aversion. In the crypto market, $BTC is currently fluctuating around $79,000, while $ETH is trading around $2,450. After a recent rapid rise, the market has begun to see some profit-taking, but overall risk appetite remains worth watching. If diplomatic progress between Iran and Oman continues, risk premiums in the Strait of Hormuz will further decline, and inflationary pressures from falling oil prices may ease, potentially creating a more favorable macro environment for risk assets like $BTC and $ETH. 📈 On the other hand, if negotiations stall, sanctions escalate, or regional tensions worsen again, market sentiment could quickly reverse, and crypto volatility could amplify once more. ⚠️ Next to focus on: Iran negotiations → Hormuz shipping → international oil prices $→ and macro sentiment → crypto capital flows. #BTC80KHoldOrFold #IranNVIDIA's earnings report will be revealed tonight, a key battle in the AI bull market—how should it be traded?
NVIDIA's "better-than-expected" performance this quarter is already the market's default script. Whether the stock price can rise depends on whether management can deliver three simultaneous benefits: improved profitability of cloud providers, controllable financing risks, and large-scale capital returns. For investors optimistic about the AI theme, relatively cheap options offer an asymmetric participation window. The deeper trading logic lies in whether the Rubin platform can initiate the next round of higher base growth curve, and whether the controversy over circular financing can be clarified, which will determine if the valuation narrative can complete its transition.
NVIDIA's earnings report this quarter is very likely still a strong performance, but the market's question is no longer "whether it exceeds expectations," but whether it can provide sufficient answers after exceeding expectations. From options pricing to institutional disagreements, from circular financing controversies to power bottlenecks, this earnings report is becoming a touchstone for whether the AI bull market can enter the next phase.Bitcoin firmly stands above $80,000, with about $2.6 billion flowing into spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs last week. This figure itself tells us that institutional funds are not leaving, but are expressing their stance with real money. 💧 When large-cap blue-chip assets are so strong in attracting money, the market often experiences a subtle divergence: some funds continue to chase certainty, while others start looking for greater elasticity on the periphery. What is worth watching now is whether this capital rotation is spreading from Bitcoin to Ethereum and higher-volatility assets, such as platform coins like BNB and OKB, as well as some infrastructure tokens. 🌀 Sustained net inflows into ETFs are currently one of the most solid supporting logics. It means traditional funds are gradually allocating crypto assets through compliant channels, and this buying behavior tends to be more sustained and better resistant to short-term sentiment fluctuations. Meanwhile, changes in Bitcoin's market share and Ethereum's relative strength have become key indicators for judging whether funds are truly flowing over. If Bitcoin's dominance starts to decline while Ethereum continues to strengthen, it is usually a sign that capital risk appetite is rising. 🌱 However, it is important to note that capital rotation is never a straight line. Last week's large inflows may have partially priced in the current price, and whether this can continue depends on the combination of macro liquidity and market confidence. For high-beta assets, resilience is two-way: stronger during upswings and more sensitive during pullbacks. 📉 Right now, it feels more like a structural selection period: Bitcoin is consolidating itselfBTC breaks through $80,000: Sentiment rapidly reverses, a game under a short squeeze scenario. Bitcoin once surged to $81,000, then retreated to fluctuate between $78,000 and $79,000, with a weekly gain of nearly 24%, marking the best weekly performance since 2023. In just one month, crypto market sentiment has undergone a dramatic reversal, with the Fear and Greed Index breaking out from the fear zone at 36 to 80, entering an extreme greed state.
The core driver of this rally is the return of institutional funds. The US spot Bitcoin ETF recorded a net inflow of $1.92 billion in one week, hitting a nearly 10-month high. Coinbase premium turned positive from negative, reflecting that US institutions are continuously accumulating, driving Ethereum to hold steady above $2,500, and triggering a comprehensive market profit effect.
At the macro level, it became the fuse for the rally. The US Treasury doubled the scale of long-term bond repurchases to $40 billion, leading to expectations of loose market trading liquidity. US Treasury yields and the dollar weakened, with funds flowing into Bitcoin, gold, and other assets, boosting this round of rebound.
However, extreme greed is a double-edged sword. The index standing above 80 means a large amount of momentum-following funds entering the market, increasing short-term correction risks. Although the bull market allows the continuation of fervent sentiment, this rally includes buying from short squeeze liquidations; after the shorts are exhausted, the upward momentum may weaken.
Whether the $80,000 level can hold depends on observing two signals: whether the spot ETF continues to have net inflows—once it turns to outflows, it can easily trigger profit-taking escapes; and if the Fear and Greed Index continues to rise, it indicates the market sentiment is overheated. $PENGU short position dropped from 0.009513 to 0.009257, with a floating profit of 134%. Watching the order book, the market maker's quote intervals are widening, indicating they are actively reducing quote frequency to lower risk exposure.
Once the market maker withdraws, the order book becomes a vacuum, and the price will gap instantly. Holding a 50x position during such abnormal quote intervals is the most dangerous. I took profit on 90% directly, leaving 10% with a stop loss raised to 0.009513 to break even, and a trailing stop at 0.0094.
If you haven't entered yet, don't open positions when market making quotes are abnormal—that's a pit with no one to take the other side. $BTC $ETH Storage sector sees a stark contrast! Dropped over 6% the day before yesterday, then a full-scale pre-market rebound yesterday
$xSNDK $xMU $WDC This wave really wore people out.
On August 24, the storage sector collectively plunged: SanDisk down 6.45%, Seagate 6.51%, Micron 5.83%, Western Digital 5.24%, SK Hynix 4.92%. Samsung fell 8.7%, triggered by its shareholder return plan "falling short of expectations."
Then on August 26 pre-market, a full-scale rebound: Seagate and Western Digital rose over 3%, Hynix and Micron rose over 2%, SanDisk rose over 3%. From hell to heaven in one day.
Core reason: Nvidia's earnings report tonight. Funds are betting on better-than-expected results and rushing to accumulate early; storage is the sector that benefits most directly from AI computing power. SK Hynix's 40 trillion buyback + PE 3.8x + HBM locked until 2027 long-term logic remains unchanged, but short-term volatility is huge, so don't bet on direction before the earnings report. #StorageSectorRebound $SNDK $MU The market is entering a more sensitive phase: positive expectations have already been priced in in advance, and what truly determines the trend next is whether actual capital can keep up. The latest data shows that on August 25, the net inflow of US spot BTC ETFs was about $327 million, with IBIT contributing about $271 million; Spot ETH ETFs recorded a net inflow of about $192 million, while ETHA accounted for about $155 million. Continued capital inflows indicate that institutional demand remains, but short-term ETF buying alone is not enough to confirm new trends. $BTC To regain a stable position near $81K, ETF funds need to continue increasing and corporate treasuries to keep increasing holdings, providing more solid spot liquidity for the rise. $ETH requires continuous net ETF inflows and further follow-up by institutional/corporate funds. If capital flows do not significantly cool, ETH will have a better chance to accumulate enough momentum and attempt a breakout toward the next key resistance area. The core issue now is not "whether prices can rise," but rather how much positive news has already been priced in, and whether new funds can continue to enter the market. 👀 #BTC80KHoldOrFold #ETH #Bitcoin #EthereumMaji was not liquidated today and even net added 1360.9838 ETH. As of 17:17 Beijing time on August 26, his ETH position's unrealized profit is about $200,000, showing the liquidation price has risen to $2171. The position is still alive for now, but the safety margin is rapidly narrowing. I took public account snapshots at 17:11 and 17:17. In just six minutes, the ETH mark price fell from $2457.9 to $2447.2, Maji's ETH unrealized profit dropped from $441,000 to $200,000, and the account equity decreased from $9.633 million to $9.023 million. Meanwhile, the displayed liquidation price for ETH rose from $2155 to $2171. He currently holds 22,560.9838 ETH long positions, with an average entry price of $2438.33, a position value of about $55.21 million, set at 25x cross margin leverage. The current price is only 0.36% above cost, with a page return rate of about 9.09%. From $2447.2 down to the current displayed liquidation price, there is about 11.28% distance left. Today's trading is also interesting. From midnight to 17:12 Beijing time, he cumulatively opened 2850 ETH longs, closed 1489.0162 ETH longs, net increasing 1360.9838 ETH, expanding the position by about 6.4% compared to midnight. During this period, realized profit from closing positions was about $35,600, paying about $1952 in fees and $5825 in funding costs. No liquidation marks appeared in the public trade records. I am more concerned about his cross margin risk.$BTC is dropping even though money is still flowing in: What's going on?
BTC is falling, but paradoxically, ETFs still attracted nearly $2 billion last week, with many spot sessions recording inflows over $300M.
The key lies in the money flow structure: the recent rally was amplified by nearly $3B in Shorts being liquidated. When the forced buying ended, buyers from the $60–70K range started taking profits as BTC rose to $80–82K.
Therefore, I don't see this as a bearish reversal yet. BTC is absorbing supply after an overheated rally.
$BTC The latest negotiations between Iran and Oman over shipping in the Strait of Hormuz are improving market sentiment, with hopes of restoring shipping lanes driving oil prices lower and easing short-term pressure on energy supply and inflation. Meanwhile, the U.S. continues to strengthen sanctions against Iran-related entities and networks, and geopolitical risks have not completely disappeared. Currently, $BTC is fluctuating around $79,000, while $ETH has retreated to the $2,450–$2,500 range. After Bitcoin's recent sharp rise, it still holds a key psychological level, but the market is digesting some profit-taking. If diplomatic negotiations continue to make progress, the risk premium on the Strait of Hormuz will further decline, and oil prices may remain under pressure, which will help improve sentiment toward risk assets and provide a more stable macro environment for the crypto market. 📈 However, the market still needs to remain vigilant. ⚠️ Any breakdown in negotiations, escalation of new sanctions, or a strait security incident could quickly drive up oil prices and trigger global market risk aversion, intensifying short-term volatility in $BTC and $ETH. Next, focus on: oil price trends→ Hormuz negotiations→ sanctions dynamics, → capital flows in the crypto market. #BTC #ETH #CryptoNews #IranTalks #StraitOfHormuz #Bitcoin #EthereumThe current market expectation for core PCE is 0.2% month-over-month and 3.3% year-over-year. If the results meet or even fall below expectations, it would be positive for BTC, ETH, and US stocks, as this would reinforce the narrative that "inflation is not spiraling out of control"; conversely, if core PCE significantly exceeds expectations, the market will have to reprice the risk of interest rates staying high or tightening further, which would clearly increase the downside pressure on Bitcoin. Recently, the US Treasury has indeed been increasing long-term Treasury buybacks, partly to ease pressure on long-end yields, but this does not mean the PCE data will necessarily be "massaged" to look better. What really matters for trading is the difference between the reported value and expectations. So my approach tonight is simple: if PCE is below expectations, lean bullish; if it meets expectations, first see if the market follows through; if it exceeds expectations, beware of a pullback in BTC and SOL together. ⚠️ And tonight is not over yet—there’s also Nvidia’s earnings after the market close. The Nvidia options market is already pricing in about 5.4% post-earnings volatility, which could also significantly impact AI/storage chain stocks like MU and SNDK. Tonight is not the time to bet on direction; wait for the data to land and then follow, which will increase your odds of success. 🔥 $BTC $ETH $SOL #BTC突破80000美元，能否站稳新关口 #杰克逊霍尔临近，沃什能否明确政策路径 #美扩大对伊制裁，海峡复航谈判推进 Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana are playing increasingly clear roles in the current market. Rather than being three assets, they represent three completely different capital logics and holding mindsets. The market is not experiencing a widespread rally, but has entered a hierarchical structure, with each layer having its own rhythm and participants. Let's start with Bitcoin. From $60,000 to around $79,800, the core driving force behind this rally is not retail sentiment, but the continuous net inflow of spot ETF funds. Institutional funds tend to prioritize certainty and liquidity, making Bitcoin the most stable cornerstone in the entire market. Its trend is relatively smooth, with controllable drawdowns, making it suitable as a core position for long-term holding in portfolios. When the market experiences uncertainty, capital's first reaction is often to flock to these assets for safe haven. Ethereum is in a subtle acceleration phase. Recently, weekly net inflows into spot ETFs reached about $699 million, a new yearly high, a figure that itself indicates a shift in institutional attitudes toward it. The price rebounded from around $1,900 to the $2,500 mark, maintaining the stability of mainstream assets while also showing some upward resilience. For those who feel Bitcoin is too volatile and don't want direct exposure to high-risk altcoins, Ethereum offers a middle ground. Its performance is more like a thermometer of market risk appetite—not extreme, but sufficiently sensitive. Solana, on the other hand, takes a different path. On-chain DEX trading activityThe world's largest enterprise-level BTC holder, whose purchases, reductions, and financing actions are important indicators of institutional sentiment. 1. Core holdings and key data - Currently holding 840447 BTC, with an average holding cost of $75,385 per coin, current price of $78,658, and a book unrealized profit of about $4.01 billion. - The last BTC purchase was on June 22, and since then, increased holdings have been suspended; From June to August, a total of 6,916 BTC were sold, mainly for repurchasing high-yield preferred shares, paying dividends, and optimizing debt structure, not a bearish BTC narrative. - In August, raised $3.28 billion through stock issuance, but did not use it to buy coins. Capital splitting: regular reserves of $5.1 billion, newly established flexible coin purchase cash pool of $1.59 billion, total USD liquidity of $6.69 billion. Funds are in place, but there has been no entry to buy stock. 2. Recent Market Changes to Watch 1. Breaking the "buy only, not sell" approach. In the past, they only hoarded without moving; now, to reduce high dividend pressure, they are willing to sell BTC below average cost, prioritizing finance over mindless hoarding. 2. Holding huge amounts of cash but waiting and waiting. The USD Cash pool was specifically designed to buy BTC, but in the face of this rebound, it did not act. This indirectly shows that institutions do not recognize the current price as an ideal position and are waiting for a more comfortable position. 3. MSTR stock is highly pegged to BTC. Movements in MSTR before and during the US market indirectly drive BTC market sentiment; If MSTR weakens sharply, it will be conductedThe mass production of HBM4 combined with Nvidia's earnings report is triggering a position rebalancing and valuation reassessment of $xSKHY within the AI computing power chain. SK Hynix achieved a 76% profit margin in Q2 with a price-to-earnings ratio of only 3.5, and holding over 50% of the HBM market share has solidified the risk appetite support base. If Nvidia's earnings guidance tonight exceeds expectations and confirms HBM4 demand, funds will push the ADR to break through the $165 resistance and test $170. If macro risk-off selling triggers an overall pullback, the key observation will be whether the ADR can hold the $155 support.
#英伟达加码Perplexity，AI资本闭环再受审视 #美扩大对伊制裁，海峡复航谈判推进 #Strategy增发扩充现金，BTC配置节奏受关注Reasons for the pullback: triple pressure overlay
① $83,000 technical resistance (maximum suppression)
$83,000 is the position of the 365-day moving average, regarded by analysts as the "lifeline." BTC encountered resistance and retreated near $81,200 in advance, indicating heavy selling pressure in this area. CryptoQuant's "bullish score" surged from 30 to 80 within 7 days; the last time such an extreme score appeared was in October 2025 when BTC was at $124,000—short-term momentum is extremely overextended.
② Extreme greed triggers profit-taking
The Fear and Greed Index soared to the "extreme greed" range of 80-83, and RSI fell back to 65-70 after breaking above 80 in overbought territory. The profit realization rate among retail investors rose to 20.5%, a new high since June 2025. The overlay of short-term overheating signals triggered concentrated early profit-taking.
③ Whales begin transferring assets to exchanges
In the past 48 hours, the inflow of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Ripple into centralized exchanges has increased. Historical data shows this often accompanies subsequent selling pressure. Large holder wallets recorded a single-day net gain of $614 million, the highest this year, with some whales choosing to cash out. $BTC $ETH $MOVE #BTC突破80000美元，能否站稳新关口 Pre-market refers to the extended trading session from 4:00 to 9:30 AM Eastern Time, with liquidity far weaker than the official open. It holds strong reference value for crypto RWA tokens SNDK, xNVDA, and $XAUT, but pre-market pulses cannot be directly considered effective trends.
1. Core Observational Data
1) Nasdaq and S&P Futures
Nasdaq NQ and S&P ES futures represent global risk appetite. Futures rising more than 0.5% indicate increased risk appetite, benefiting AI storage and tech stocks, indirectly driving BTC; weakening futures put growth assets under collective pressure. Pre-market futures are the primary indicator for judging the market open tone.
2) US 10-Year Treasury Yield + US Dollar DXY
Rising Treasury yields and a stronger dollar suppress tech growth; falling yields benefit US tech stocks and crypto risk assets. Pre-market releases of CPI, initial jobless claims, and other data directly rewrite the trends of both.
3) Pre-market Price Change + Volume (Most Important Filter)
Individual stocks moving ±2% or more pre-market indicate significant anomalies. Similarly, a 4% rise with low volume is a false pulse; only when volume meets standards is the signal credible. High or low opens caused by low volume often reverse after the official open. Key focus: Nvidia NVDA, Micron MU, SanDisk SNDK, and the storage sector’s collective pre-market strength or weakness directly determine $SNDK’s trend.
4) VIX Fear Index
A rising VIX indicates market expectations of increased intraday volatility, raising spike risks for RWA tokens and BTC; a falling VIX suggests calmer market sentiment.
5,@懂币猫 believes that the pullback after $BTC broke through 80,000 is not yet sufficient to be classified as a trend reversal. After a pullback to about 77,900 in the early hours of the 26th, the price still mainly consolidated sideways; There are no clear conditions for short selling at the two-hour and four-hour levels, so the market remains bullish. What really needs to be guarded against is not the anxiety of "not getting in," but using a strong trend as a reason to leverage and chase gains. The previous roughly 30% smooth rally has already ended; bulls can take profits in batches during the rally, but this does not mean they have fully closed their positions. To continue breaking out next, the daily chart needs to provide better coordination with trading volume; Before that, the market is more like consolidation after a strong rally, rather than a one-sided segment suitable for frequent bets. He regards the 78,000 area as the trigger zone for short-term strategies: if the two-hour close effectively breaks below the limit, then the strategy will start to set short selling conditions. The more critical structural defense line is around 76,500 to 76,000 — if it breaks below the previous low and cannot be quickly recovered, it indicates the upward momentum has been disrupted and the market may switch to a longer consolidation scenario. Even so, it's not about immediately chasing short trades, but waiting for the structure to provide the next odds. He reminds that breaking above 80,000 may come from new buying or mixed with short stops; Currently, low selling pressure is strong evidence but cannot replace confirmation. For those who missed out, don't use high leverage to buy after three sharp pull candlesticks. Previously, similar rapid rallies often led to 10% to 15% clearance; waiting for sideways consolidation, confirmed volume and price, or smaller cycle structures is more meaningful than guessing tops and bottoms. For $ETH, he$BTC $ETH I'm increasingly skeptical that this wave of shouting "the bull is back" is essentially a large group of people who missed out, unable to withstand the psychological pressure, finally entering the market chasing highs.
#BTC突破80000美元，能否站稳新关口
BTC surged from over 60,000 all the way to around 80,000, and suddenly all sorts of logic appeared in the market.
Loose liquidity, institutional entry, Treasury buybacks, interest rate cut expectations, AI market continuation—various reasons are everywhere.
But I'm just thinking about one question: Did these positives only emerge in the past couple of days?
Or is it that after the price went up, everyone is desperately trying to find all kinds of reasons to justify the rise?
No need to rush to calculate how many more points it can rise.
What should be watched more closely is who will be the last batch near 80,000, the ones afraid of missing the market, who feel if they don't rush now, it will be too late.
I want to ask everyone, standing at this moment, do you think the bull market has just started, or is the market sentiment already a bit overheated?
⚠️Personal market thoughts, not investment advice Bank of Montreal $BMO Q3 earnings report shows a -25% year-over-year net profit
But this does not mean its operations have deteriorated; adjusted net profit increased by 19% year-over-year, and adjusted earnings per share grew by 22%
This indicates that the earnings report was affected by a one-time factor impacting the book profit, rather than any deterioration in core profitability
Regarding this one-time factor, not many people talked about it after the earnings release, but the answer was actually disclosed two to three months ago
First, this one-time factor is due to the sale of two businesses: transportation finance and supplier finance
The former provides financing loans to the transportation industry, and the latter provides financing loans to various manufacturers and suppliers
This sale is not a simple small-scale business adjustment; it involves approximately CAD 14.5 billion in loan and lease asset portfolios
In an official document released earlier (in May), the impact of this transaction was already explained
➠ To summarize in one point: this sale temporarily affects the profit figures reported for the current period but improves the return on equity in the long term
How to understand this? For example, originally Montreal invested one million, and because it had different product portfolios, the total returns generated were also dispersed across various products
Now it sells two products; the products themselves are fine, but the profit generated per unit might be relatively lower compared to other products
Thus, by "reducing the denominator" to increase the [return on investment], this is the underlying logic of this transaction Bitcoin ETF net inflows for 7 consecutive days, capital flow is recovering
Bitcoin spot ETFs saw a net inflow of $314 million on Tuesday, marking 7 consecutive trading days of inflows; the cumulative net inflow in August reached $3.03 billion, and the net outflow for the year narrowed to $2.26 billion, with total net assets rising to $99.05 billion.
This appears more like a recovery in capital flow: the previous pressure of capital outflows is easing, but there is still a net outflow for the year, so it cannot be confirmed that the market trend has reversed based on this. Seven consecutive days is a change; whether it becomes a trend depends on whether ETFs can maintain net buying during market pullbacks.
For long-term observers, the value of ETFs is not in providing market answers but in making capital inflows and outflows more visible.
