Are you afraid of $SKHYNIX consolidating? Here's a chance to add to your position!
The main players are just testing your patience. The short position mentioned by Caibao last night can still be firmly held. The chat room had already alerted fans to watch for an opportunity to add at 1240, but why did SanDisk plummet crazily while Hynix consolidated?
The core reason is that Hynix has AI chip demand and buyback support, so funds are more willing to hold, resulting in consolidation; SanDisk had surged too much earlier, and with market concerns about intensified NAND competition, funds started to take profits, so after a rebound, it was pushed down again. Overall, Hynix is relatively stronger, while SanDisk faces greater short-term pressure.
Caibao does not recommend opening many positions because fundamentally, the funding logic and impact levels of these two companies differ. Personal trading advice: For Hynix, if you haven't entered yet, you can short at the current position around 1240, with a target near 1180.The U.S. is increasing sanctions on one hand while wanting to negotiate on the other; the Iran situation is starting to take a different turn.
A few days ago, the U.S. was continuously ramping up economic pressure on Iran, but in the past couple of days, signs of de-escalation have appeared.
Some U.S. diplomatic staff who partially withdrew are preparing to return to multiple Middle Eastern countries, and Qatar and Pakistan continue to mediate talks between the U.S. and Iran. Meanwhile, Iran and Oman are discussing temporary navigation arrangements and mine clearance in the Strait of Hormuz.
Looking at this series of actions together, it feels like the situation is slowly shifting from "continuing the fight" to "how to end it."
Of course, peace is still far from being achieved.
The U.S. has just launched a new round of economic pressure on Iran, covering shipping, finance, gold, technology, and digital assets. In simple terms, military pressure has not increased for now, but economic pressure has tightened further.
However, the market's reaction this time is quite interesting.
After the sanctions news, oil prices did not continue to surge; instead, they noticeably fell. The reason is easy to understand: what worries everyone most now is not "what new sanctions the U.S. has imposed," but when the Strait of Hormuz will return to normal navigation.
As long as the shipping route issue is unresolved, oil prices will always carry a risk premium.
But once navigation starts to recover, even if only partially at first, the panic premium built into oil prices will gradually subside.
So the most critical factor now may not be whether the U.S. will announce new sanctions next, but whether the navigation talks between Iran and Oman can truly move forward.
If there is substantial progress on navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, crude oil prices may continue to fall, and gold's safe-haven demand will cool down. Assets previously pushed up by war and supply concerns could be repriced.
But if talks break down and the route remains blocked, the situation will completely reverse.
Personally, I think we have reached a very delicate stage.
Previously, the trade was on the war itself; now it’s slowly shifting to "when will the war end."
These two logics are very different.
Before, whenever the situation escalated, oil and gold prices tended to rise. Going forward, if diplomatic talks really advance, capital might start unwinding previous safe-haven positions.
The same applies to BTC.
If geopolitical risks decline, oil prices fall, and dollar and liquidity pressures do not tighten further, it may not be bad for BTC. But if the situation escalates again and capital flows back into safe-haven assets, whether BTC will continue to rise is uncertain.
So I think, going forward, don’t just focus on who the U.S. sanctions next.
What really matters is whether the Strait of Hormuz can gradually reopen for navigation.
That is the most important indicator right now.
If the route opens, oil price pressure may start to ease.
If it remains closed, the major turmoil in the Middle East may be far from over.

#美扩大对伊制裁，海峡复航谈判推进 5x long ZEC, don’t rush to call this trade aggressive. Once leverage is applied, your margin for error is immediately cut down.
Key data laid out: Coin ZEC, 5x leverage, long position, entry price 800.00, position size $45,712, quantity 57.14.
Going long itself isn’t wrong; if a trend develops afterward, profits will come faster than spot trading. That’s the most tempting part of contracts.
But on the flip side, 5x leverage isn’t a joke. If your direction is even slightly off, drawdowns and emotional pressure will hit you hard, and no one will bear the losses for you.
Veteran traders despise those who use leverage thinking they can tough it out—talking about waiting for a rebound but actually just paying tuition to the market with their principal.
Whether this kind of position can profit depends not only on direction but also on whether you’ve planned in advance how to exit if things go wrong. Don’t turn trading into a tantrum.
Cut losses when you should; don’t wait until forced liquidation to realize the market punishes stubbornness.$ETH Ethereum really drove me crazy, consolidating sideways for a full two months, then recovering all losses in just three days. When it easily broke through 2500, I was staring blankly at the candlestick chart. The long positions around 2000 two months ago now look like a golden opportunity in hindsight, but back then, watching the account's floating losses every day, my mindset had already collapsed.
The day it fell below 2000, I actually felt relieved, thinking I could finally give up. When it dropped below 1900, everyone in the group was shouting it would go to 1600. I gritted my teeth and closed my position because I really couldn't endure the slow, dull pain of cutting losses. In the end, it bottomed out at 1500. Those days were full of posts targeting 850 for shorts, sounding so convincing, saying the fundamentals were all rotten and Ethereum was going to zero.
Looking back now, the most painful thing wasn't losing money, but clearly seeing the opportunity and not holding on. I hesitated at 1500 but was scared off by the continuous sharp drops, thinking to wait and see if it would go lower. Instead, it rebounded all the way back without any pullback, watching the price go from 1500 back to 2000, then surge to 2500. Those who bottomed at 1500 and held on until now, honestly, besides envy, I feel a kind of indescribable admiration.
It takes courage to reach out and catch a falling knife at that level, and faith to hold on for so long. I had neither. The market always teaches life lessons: when it falls, it feels like a bottomless pit; when it rises, it feels limitless. Looking back, the cheapest prices are often the moments of greatest panic. Whether this tuition fee was worth it or not, probably only the next time I encounter such a market can I verify.Did nothing, just went to the restroom, and when I came back, the candlestick chart had already done the work for me. During the repeated fluctuations in the session, I saw $MON pull back to a key level and then hold steady, with volume clearly shrinking and selling pressure decreasing. This was obviously a pullback confirmation. I judged this as a buying opportunity, followed the plan and entered a position. At the time, I thought I was a bit impulsive, but now I see I was just being cautious.
Entry price was 0.02021, now it has surged to 0.02771, with a return of +1860.46%. The timing was perfect, really satisfying. The brothers in the car must have woken up laughing; this wave was worth the wait.
Panic comes from lack of planning, losses come from overthinking. Hold as long as the trend is intact, exit when it breaks, don’t fall in love with stocks.
First take profits on 75% of the position, keep the remaining 25% at cost price as protection, letting the profits run. Don’t be greedy for the last bit; take profits when you should.
Don’t rush, there will be more opportunities. The market isn’t short of chances, it’s short of patience. Wait for the next shot.
$ETH $XRP #ZEC现货ETF首日成交额1480万美元
The boss has something to say
The ZEC spot ETF officially launched yesterday, ticker ZCSH, on NYSE Arca, with a first-day trading volume of $14.8 million.
Compared to the first-day volumes of BTC and ETH ETFs, this number is not large. But ZEC is a privacy coin, and the fact that this sector passed SEC review and got listed on the NYSE is itself a signal. The compliance path is cleared, and the regulatory framework is changing.
However, this data should not be seen as net inflow.
The $14.8 million is trading volume, not net subscription. Buyers and sellers are trading, but it does not mean $14.8 million of new money is buying ZEC. This Grayscale ETF was converted from the existing Zcash Trust, not newly issued, so there was no hard demand for large-scale new positions on day one. The real buying pressure will be seen in sustained net inflows over the coming weeks.
Barry Silbert is on board
The founder of Grayscale compared ZEC to Bitcoin in 2013, expecting it might start a multi-year growth cycle similar to Bitcoin. Of course, he hopes his own position will rise; this message is aimed at institutions.
ZEC’s fundamentals are marginally improving
Previously, ZEC rose from 250 to 850, driven mainly by expectations for the Grayscale ETF and the Ironwood upgrade that fixed the June vulnerability. Now that the ETF is launched, some of the positive expectations have been realized. Whether it can continue depends on two factors: whether the ETF can keep attracting net subscriptions to form a stable spot buying base, and whether usage of the privacy network grows enough to replace derivatives leverage as a more stable price support.
My position: the ZEC short is still open, shorted down from 568, closed half at 450, added back above 500, with an overall cost around 520 to 530. The ETF’s first-day volume of $14.8 million is not bad but not strong either. After the short-term positive is realized, net subscription data needs to be watched.
Stop loss is set at 600; if broken, it means ETF buying is stronger than expected, so cut losses and exit. Target is around 400 to 450. Manage position size carefully; volatility is high, do not hold through it.
BTC is fluctuating near 80,000, all longs closed waiting for a pullback. No heavy directional bets before PCE and Wash’s speech. $BTC $ETH $SOL
The above analysis is time-sensitive; always set stop losses on your trades. Good luck.Privacy coins are really getting interesting now.
THORChain 3.20 has been launched, but the official stance is more cautious than the screenshot: XMR and ZEC are "closer to activation," not fully open for exchange yet.
At the same time, Solana, Base, and BNB transactions have resumed, and POL and Stable Reserve have been added.
The real highlights are still XMR and ZEC. Once native cross-chain swaps are fully operational, you can directly access mainstream assets like BTC and ETH without wrapped assets or relying on centralized exchanges.
For privacy coins that have been increasingly restricted by exchanges over the years, this is equivalent to gaining another decentralized liquidity channel.
The more exchanges avoid privacy coins, the more the blockchain wants to rebuild this path.Rally then pullback, all markets stall — the market is cautious ahead of Nvidia's earnings report
$BTC surged to 81240 before falling back, dropping below 78000. ETH weakened in sync to around 2460. ZEC fell from a high of 889 back to 796. HYPE broke 83 then retested 78.
The broad rally and pullback — it's not a change in fundamentals, but risk aversion ahead of Nvidia's earnings.
BTC rose 24% this week, with over $4 billion in shorts liquidated in the past few days. But the Fear & Greed Index has soared to 81, entering "Extreme Greed" for the first time in 2024. The last time it hit extreme greed was March 2024, when BTC dropped from 73000 to 59000.
$ETH's relative strength is weakening — when BTC hit 81,000, ETH didn't reach its previous high. Profit-taking is emerging in ZEC and HYPE, and those chasing highs are starting to hesitate.
Nvidia's earnings report is tonight, with expected revenue of $92 billion. The entire AI industry chain is waiting. Holding the 80000 level is the start of a bull market; failing to hold it is a bull trap. The narrower the market fluctuations, the easier it is to underestimate execution costs.
Many contract traders focus on the K-line, thinking the real issue today is unclear direction. But I believe the greater danger is this: when the market grinds sideways, you start placing test orders frequently, and each test order consumes depth, fees, funding rates, and triggers differences in stop-loss rules.
For the same trading pair, it may look like going long or short, but in reality, it's not the same. In some places, the order book is thinner, so entering feels off, and once the stop-loss triggers, you get slipped out; in others, the funding rate looks small, but holding for a long time reveals costs slowly leaking; and some have tighter liquidation rules, with positions stuck in the most uncomfortable spots.
That's why I'm increasingly against "opening all orders from a fixed entry point." Perpetual contracts aren't just about who clicks the button faster; each order should first ask: at this moment, where is the best place to execute?
This is where PerpEX, a Perp aggregator, adds value: first select the asset, then compare depth, fees, slippage, and rules across different venues, and finally decide where to route this order.$HYPE faces the risk of position repricing triggered by the unlocking of 14.18 million tokens on August 29 after hitting a historical high of $83. The expected selling pressure and the competition from buying at highs form the core contradiction of short-term price volatility.
Current market facts show that the momentum driving spot prices is positively colliding with the upcoming inflation supply. On August 29, 14.18 million tokens are expected to be unlocked, equivalent to about $1.2 billion, or 2.7% of the total market capitalization, with nearly 47% belonging to insiders. This directly heightens the market's defensive sentiment against marginal supply surplus.
The driving factors, in order of priority, are: insiders' potential liquidation tendency of unlocked positions, the concentration of long leverage in the derivatives market, and the intrinsic value support capability brought by Hyperliquid trading volume.
The bullish scenario triggers if the spot market completes turnover absorption ahead of the unlocking date. If Hyperliquid derivatives trading volume remains strong and there is no concentrated sell order pressure on the market, the chip squeeze mechanism will dominate the trend, aiming to break above previous highs.
The bearish scenario triggers if insiders choose to quickly liquidate unlocked tokens on the secondary market. Once tokens accounting for 2.7% of market cap are sold during a liquidity-short window, leveraged long positions chasing highs will face cascading liquidation risks, inducing a deep correction.
Invalidation conditions require close attention to the divergence between funding rates and open interest. If open interest continues to surge during price declines, it indicates excessive short crowding, increasing the risk of a short squeeze rebound.
The most important variables to watch in the next 7 days are the scale of net chip inflows to exchanges around the unlocking date and the anchoring stability of Hyperliquid's daily protocol revenue on token valuation.
#财报观察员：英伟达领衔，AI回报进入验证期 #美扩大对伊制裁，海峡复航谈判推进 On August 26, after a week of fierce rallying, BTC pulled back to consolidate near $78,500. A week earlier, it was hovering around $63,000, and on August 25, it briefly broke through $81,000, hitting a three-month high. Starting at around $63,000 on August 17, BTC's cumulative gain over the past ten days once exceeded 28%, and as of August 26, the gain is still about 28%, potentially marking the largest single-month gain since November 2024. ETH followed suit, reaching a high of $2,450 before consolidating around $2,300. But after this surge, the market has reached a delicate tipping point. $80,000 is more than just a number. BTC breaking through $80,000 is the first time in over three months. The core logic behind this rally is the rapid rise over concerns over dollar depreciation. On August 19, U.S. Treasury Secretary Bescent announced that the scale of long-term Treasury repurchases would be at least doubled, with the maximum limit for single operations raised from $2 billion to no less than $4 billion. After the announcement, the yield on 30-year U.S. Treasuries fell from around 5.337%, the dollar index fell below 99, and funds flowed into gold and BTC. On August 24, even more explosive news emerged. Two senior U.S. Treasury officials revealed that the Treasury may use nearly $1 trillion in TGA account funds to fund bond repurchases. Bescent has expanded the TGA balance to about $950 billion, far above the $550 billion to $600 billion target set during the Biden administration. This is not QThe market at 4 a.m. was interesting: BTC was gasping above 80,000, ETH had just climbed back to 2,500, then pulled back again, like two people who had just finished running, resting on their knees and looking back at the path. Have you ever wondered whether this pullback is just building up momentum, or is someone quietly handing you the goods? When I watch the market, I rarely only look at the price itself; I care more about "who is catching it, who is waiting." Last week, spot ETFs around BTC attracted about $1.92 billion, while ETH also saw $697 million in inflow. This figure itself isn't new; what's new is that it happens after a sharp rally—normally, someone would take profits after a big rise, but ETF data shows that some money not only hasn't flown out, it's actually increasing its holdings. This is no longer just sentimental optimism. ETF subscriptions are more like structural buying; it doesn't care how deep your needle was last night; it only cares whether the long-term pricing logic has been broken. So my understanding is that this cooldown is not the end of the trend; it's more like shaking off short-term chasers and letting more patient money take over. But I also have to remind myself not to think everything goes too smoothly. The current risk is that if ETF inflows weaken in the coming days, or if hawkish macro voices suddenly appear, this consensus of "buy when pullback" will become the starting point of a stampede. After all, the market never strikes when everyone thinks it's safe; it always strikes at the moment you let your guard down. Honestly, I think the most important thing to watch right now is no$MINIMAX's market is gathering extremely intense speculative tension, with short positions rising to 20% of the freely tradable shares, and the short exposure reaching a historical peak.
The 150 million shares unlocked in July have not yet been fully absorbed by the market, continuously suppressing the risk appetite of on-site funds.
The upcoming semi-annual report is the key variable to break the fragile balance, with the market focus completely anchored on monetization efficiency and pricing power.
The very high short exposure means the price is extremely sensitive to event outcomes, and deviations in fundamental expectations will instantly transmit to overall position restructuring.
If revenue growth or pricing power exceeds expectations, the highly crowded shorts will be forced to cover, triggering a stampede-style short squeeze rebound.
If monetization efficiency falls short of market expectations, the accumulated short positions will accelerate downward selling, intensifying the selling pressure caused by unlocked shares.
If after the earnings release the price volatility quickly narrows and trading volume sharply shrinks, it indicates a shift in the speculative focus, and the short-term short squeeze or sell-off scenarios will be falsified.
The variable to watch most closely in the next 24 hours is whether the very high proportion of short positions will see concentrated covering after the earnings announcement.
#BTC突破80000美元，能否站稳新关口 #ETH触及2500美元后震荡This wave of Bitcoin once rebounded to $80,000.
It was neither due to new ETF approvals nor Federal Reserve easing.
The core catalyst is the complete shift in the direction of U.S. regulation.
From August 18 to August 20, in just 72 hours: the SEC launched a new proposal for crypto asset fundraising regulations, the CFTC stated it will independently build an industry regulatory framework, and the White House held a crypto industry summit to publicly show support. The three-stage rocket of U.S. crypto regulation ignited simultaneously.
This is not an ordinary short-term positive news, but a watershed moment for U.S. crypto policy.
The era of enforcement crackdowns and lawsuits over the past few years is gradually ending, and the era of building an industry compliance framework is officially beginning #BTC突破80000美元，能否站稳新关口 #ETH触及2500美元后震荡 If the Treasury really uses TGA to repurchase long-term bonds, the market will breathe a short sigh of relief
But this relief is likely to be short-lived. The high yield on long-term bonds is not just due to the lack of a temporary buyer, but because the market is demanding higher compensation from the U.S. Treasury. Deficits, inflation, bond issuance terms, overseas buyers' willingness—these issues won't automatically disappear just because bonds are bought from a different account
TGA is like a reservoir that can be used to water the cracked ground of the bond market. But if the weather itself doesn't change, the ground will soon crack again
I think the most important signal from this matter is: the authorities have already started to fear losing control over long-term interest rates. But the more they fear it, the more the market will ask why so many tools are needed to suppress a price that should be determined by confidence
#财政部拟动用TGA，长债回购能否治本？ $SOL is at 96.92 today, slightly up 0.39%, crawling between 96.17 and 97.17 in the last 24 hours. It's still 67% away from its ATH of 294, making it one of the major coins with the least "recovery" in this cycle.
I treat it as a sentiment thermometer, not a main position.
The logic is simple: SOL has a higher beta than BTC, leading the rise when it goes up and leading the fall when it drops, serving as a barometer of risk appetite. Now that it’s stuck at 97 without moving, it shows the market’s risk appetite hasn’t opened up at all. On-chain activity is still there, meme and DePIN have traffic, but funds prefer BTC as an "institutionally certified" safe haven.
So my position is clear: keep SOL allocation under 5%, purely observational. I won’t add unless it breaks above the 100 whole number; I’ll reduce if it falls below 95. The 92–100 range is a box it won’t break in the short term.
Don’t treat it as a main position; keep allocation under 5%, don’t be upset if it loses, consider gains a surprise. The role of the sentiment thermometer is to tell you the "water temperature," not to jump into boiling water to swim. Wait until BTC truly breaks out with volume and risk appetite returns—then SOL will be the flexible asset to add. 🛢️ Crude Oil Five-Dimensional Overview｜Supply Premium Being Squeezed, Easing Resonance Taking Shape
Crude oil has dropped sharply this round, but don’t rush to interpret it as a "recession crash"—when you look at gold and the US dollar together, the picture is completely different.
📊 Five-Dimensional Summary
**Trend Qualitative**
• Status: Mid-term weakening
• Signal: 5-day -8.56%, broke below MA60 (80.75), but MA20 is still above MA60, bullish alignment intact
**Structural Positioning**
• Status: Key support dense zone
• Signal: Current price $80.31 stuck at 0.5 Fibonacci (80.27) + $80 round number + MA60 triple resonance
**Momentum Judgment**
• Status: Oversold, awaiting rebound
• Signal: MACD just formed a death cross, but KDJ J=-2.6 has reached an extreme, strong mean reversion demand
**Volume Verification**
• Status: Declining on low volume
• Signal: VolRatio 0.79, signs of supply exhaustion, not panic selling
**Macro Resonance**
• Status: 🟢 Easing resonance
• Signal: Crude oil down + gold and silver rising together + DXY oversold, indicating a supply recovery scenario
🔺 Triangle Verification: This is a supply-side issue, not a demand crash 2020 was the last time liquidity dynamics looked this unusual. QE crushed yields and pushed capital away from sovereign debt into assets offering higher returns. Gold surged. BTC followed.
Now in 2026, the Treasury is pursuing roughly $950B in debt buybacks. The mechanism is different, but the potential impact is similar: less duration supply and more pressure for capital to move further out the risk curve.
Markets are already starting to price it in.
#BTC80KHoldOrFold #IranSanctionsAndTalks $LINK Reserve has only accumulated 3.78 million LINK (about $37 million), which is extremely slow compared to the protocol revenue inflow of over 110 billion TVS. The impact of token burning/buyback on circulating supply is negligible.
The 11.675 institutional TVS story acted as an intraday catalyst, but the underlying token sink didn't catch on. Entered short at 11.39, with an unrealized profit of 122%. Stop-loss cost is set, remaining position is hanging. For those who didn't follow, the reserve growth rate is just for their own reference. $BTC $ETH US liquidity expectations may already be priced into crypto. BTC surged from $62K to $81K+ in a week as Treasury buybacks expanded and TGA drawdown rumors fueled another push higher.
It’s not QE, but markets may treat it as temporary easing, potentially sending liquidity toward stocks and crypto. The risk? Once the TGA is rebuilt, that liquidity boost could fade.
#BTC80KHoldOrFold #IranSanctionsAndTalks #Anthropic30TTAM The $80,000 threshold for BTC was indeed pushed open, but now the price has retreated outside the door again.
$BTC peaked near 81,266, then pulled back to oscillate around 79,000.
When we discuss "whether it can hold above 80,000," the market has actually shifted the question to: Is this pullback a rotation of hands, or a retreat after a failed breakout?
Last night, I tried going long near 78,681 with a stop loss set at 78,388, exiting at a -43.37% return. Now that the price has returned to around 79,000, I have to admit the direction might not have been wrong, but the stop loss was set too optimistically.
With 100x leverage, normal fluctuations of a few hundred points can easily force you out early.
From the 4-hour structure, BTC fell below the short-term moving average but was pulled back; the mid-term moving average near 78,300 is still supporting for now, but momentum has clearly cooled down.
This is not simply a place to call a bull or bear market, but a moment waiting for new capital to show its stance.
The real big event tonight is still the PCE.
If the data continues to cool, the dollar and US Treasury yields might ease, and combined with ETF buying, there’s still a chance to reclaim 80,000; if inflation remains hot, profit-taking at high levels and leveraged positions will loosen together, and the area near 78,000 will face another test.
So, 80,000 now is not the end point, but more like a banknote verifier: short covering can only push the price inside, to truly pass through, it requires the endorsement of spot, ETFs, and the macro environment together.

US Expands Sanctions on Iran, Strait Resumption Negotiations Progress｜Asset Logic Amid Geopolitical Games
The US is intensifying secondary sanctions on Iran, attempting to pressure Iran through economic blockade; meanwhile, Iran and Oman have finalized a temporary navigation framework for the Strait of Hormuz, and under Pakistan's mediation, US-Iran ceasefire talks have made substantial progress. Expectations for easing global energy supply tensions have emerged, causing crude oil to plunge sharply intraday and geopolitical risk premiums to quickly decline.
These seemingly contradictory forces essentially reflect the tug-of-war between the US and Iran: the US applies maximum pressure through sanctions while simultaneously opening a negotiation window; Iran uses the strait navigation as leverage, demanding the US lift the blockade and fulfill previous commitments. The temporary route is open only to commercial vessels, with military ships prohibited, and permanent route negotiations still have a 30-60 day buffer period. The core conflict has not been fully resolved.
From a broad asset perspective:
Crude oil has sharply corrected in the short term due to navigation expectations, but clearing the strait and restoring shipping confidence will take time, so the long-term premium from geopolitical friction will not disappear completely; gold's macro safe-haven logic is no longer solely tied to Middle East conflicts but increasingly anchored to long-term concerns over US debt and dollar credit; BTC is oscillating around the 80,000 mark amid a warming risk appetite, with short-term sentiment influenced by geopolitical easing, while the long-term outlook depends on institutional capital and liquidity trends.
The escalation of sanctions is a short-term pressure tactic, while resumption negotiations represent a phase of easing. The recurring nature of the Middle East situation means volatility in commodities and crypto assets will only intensify. The market always prices in optimistic expectations in advance, but true stabilityMany people ask: Does Litecoin $LTC still have hope?
For these old coins, I usually don't listen to narratives, I first look at $BCH.
In the 2021 bull market, Jiang Zhuoer was especially optimistic about BCH, but BCH performed poorly, and later Xiao Jiang basically stopped mentioning it. By 2024, when the new market cycle started, he was particularly bullish on $ETH, but this round ETH was relatively weak, while BCH performed very strongly.
So the shakeout for old coins often lasts not just months, but years. The round that everyone is bullish on doesn't necessarily rise; the round no one wants to mention might suddenly show strength.
Looking at LTC: the spot ETF has already launched, and the monthly chart has been oscillating at the bottom range for a long time. It didn't perform remarkably in the last bull market either, and the market has always labeled it as "no story, no resilience, junk coin." This is normal—before the price rises, everyone thinks it's junk; when it really rises, it's usually not a good entry point.
If the next round sees a catch-up rally like BCH, LTC does have a script. But for coins like this, the test is never about faith, but whether you can endure the years when no one is watching.
#OKX星球话题来啦
#波动雷达：币种异动观察 The current market shows a contradictory situation: the U.S. is intensifying comprehensive economic sanctions on Iran, while at the same time, negotiations for navigation through the Strait are progressing. These two forces are pulling against each other, directly disrupting the pricing logic of crude oil, gold, and BTC.
Core event breakdown
1. Sanctions aspect
The U.S. has expanded sanctions to cover multiple sectors including shipping, gold, and digital assets, using secondary sanctions to deter third-party entities. The goal is to squeeze Iran's fiscal revenue, but the overall approach is mainly economic pressure without immediate military strikes.
2. Strait negotiation reality
Iran, together with Oman, is advancing a temporary navigation understanding for the Strait of Hormuz, discussing a temporary passage plan for commercial vessels. However, this is only a phased technical understanding and does not equate to a full restoration of free navigation as before. There is still a negotiation period before a final permanent channel agreement, and uncertainties remain significant.
Contradictory market logic
- Crude oil: buy the expectation, sell the fact
With sanctions implemented and optimistic expectations from navigation talks, the market trades on "reduced blockade risk," leading to substantial profit-taking from prior geopolitical longs and a price pullback. But since the negotiations are only intentions and not fully realized, the risk has not been completely eliminated.
- Gold, BTC: diverging logic
The oil price pullback lowers inflation expectations, indirectly opening up the possibility of Fed policy easing, which supports risk assets. However, the Middle East situation has not fully cleared the alert, so geopolitical safe-haven buying will still support gold; BTC follows macro liquidity more closely, with geopolitical events causing only pulse-like volatility, making it difficult to develop an independent safe-haven rally.
$BTC $ETH One data point: USDC + compliant USD stablecoins account for 50.8%, USDT has risen from 7% a year ago to 20.3%.
Behind this are two different demand lines—USDC driven by US regulatory benefits and compliance; USDT driven by real consumption demand in emerging markets.
Both routes are growing, betting on only one side means wagering that one route will win. When making U card withdrawals, you also notice some platforms only support a single stablecoin, while others support both tracks.
Supporting both tracks is more adaptable in the long run.🔥 $BTC COOLS — WHERE DOES CAPITAL GO NEXT?
$BTC slipped back toward $78.8K–$79K after losing $80K, while $ETH holds near $2.45K.
So far, this looks like consolidation—not a confirmed reversal.
With nearly $2B recently entering spot BTC ETFs, the bigger question is whether capital starts rotating into $ETH, $SOL and stronger alts.
Watch:
$BTC → ETF flows + volume
$ETH → ETH/BTC + ETF flows
$SOL → Volume + momentum
The next move may be decided by rotation.
#BTC80KHoldOrFold $BTC $ETH $SOL Last night my hand trembled slightly when setting the stop loss, but this morning I realized it was an unnecessary act of filial piety.😅 Last night before bed, $ZEC was still consolidating with low volume, but I saw the buying pressure clearly strengthening, with support every time it dipped—not a one-shot spike and run type of move. So I preemptively positioned a long at 513.22. At the time, I didn’t dare to expect it would go so smoothly; I just felt there was support below, it wouldn’t fall further, so it was time to change direction.
Now at 791.37, a +2711.11% profit is enough for a good meal. Don’t lose patience in the choppy market and then try to regain dignity in a trending move. Risk control done upfront is called rational; cutting losses later is called decisive. Those who got in on this wave should have experienced that patience pays off.
Following the long plan, take profit on 75% first, keep the remaining 25% at cost price as protection; exit if it breaks down, otherwise keep riding. Don’t give back the profits you’ve earned; protect what needs protecting.
Chasing highs easily leaves you stuck at the peak. There are still opportunities, don’t rush. I will notify you as soon as the next structure forms. For those who haven’t entered yet, patiently wait for my signal; don’t rush in when emotions run high.
$DOGE $ADA Operation on August 26: In a volatile market, trade along the lower edge of the order module, try not to open positions in the middle
BTC is no longer just a simple emotional rebound; it is now simultaneously improving in four directions: falling oil prices + declining long-term bond yields + a weaker dollar + continuous ETF buying, and it is less influenced by the US stock market#BTC80KHoldOrFold #IranSanctionsAndTalks #Anthropic30TTAM On August 26, as Bitcoin regained strength and crypto-related stocks recovered, the quality of this round of crypto market rebound may be better than before. The current rise is not mainly driven by high leverage; coin-margined open contracts fell to a one-month low after the initial rebound, indicating that the capital structure is closer to spot and ETF-driven.
This is crucial for market sentiment. In past multiple crypto rebounds, rapid leverage accumulation often amplified volatility, and once prices fell, it easily triggered chain liquidations. In this round, spot Bitcoin ETF inflows are more prominent, with a net inflow of about $1.9 billion in the past week, marking the strongest week since October 2025, showing that traditional capital channels still support crypto assets.
The reason is that rising trading volume will directly improve brokerage, custody, and institutional service revenues. Especially with retail trading recovering, ETF demand holding steady, and institutional custody demand expanding, crypto infrastructure companies will find it easier to achieve stable income elasticity than single tokens.
However, the market will still be influenced by US Treasury yields, the US dollar trend, and risk appetite. If Jackson Hole signals a hawkish tone, or if the US stock AI chain continues to pull back, crypto assets may still face short-term pressure. Mizuho's judgment leans more toward the mid-term structure: this rebound has less leverage bubble, and if spot demand continues to flow in, crypto stocks will have a clearer earnings transmission path. $BTC $ETH #美扩大对伊制裁，海峡复航谈判推进 #BTC突破80000美元，能否站稳新关口
BTC touched the 80,000 mark, and the whole network started hyping a bull market restart and the digital gold narrative. Simply put, this is a fake rally forced by collective short squeeze, not supported by real demand.
Half of this surge is due to passive ETF buying, and the other half is pushed up by leveraged shorts covering their positions. Whales are quietly selling above 80,000, while retail investors are still buying at the high levels. Gold is the true hard hedge that transcends cycles; BTC is more of a speculative chip for capital games. The so-called hedge against US dollar credit is mostly a story created by hype.
Currently, the market is seriously overbought, with small coins rising chaotically and sentiment overheated—a typical high-level bull trap signal. 80,000 is a strong resistance level and hard to hold. Once incremental funds fail to keep up and profit-taking intensifies, the correction will be very sharp. Leveraged trading is a heartbeat game; chasing longs now essentially hands chips to the shorts.
Don’t listen to institutions painting big pictures. Under the high-level frenzy, the first to be buried are the late-to-the-party retail investors. The hotter the market, the greater the risk. Protecting your principal is more practical than any get-rich-quick myth. Account Position Divergence Radar
The number of accounts indicates the side taken, while the position ratio indicates the weight; only when these two are inconsistent is it worth monitoring.
$DOGE account numbers consistently lean long, but the top holders' position ratio remains below 1, so the numerical advantage has not translated into a top position advantage. Price and open interest (OI) both increased over 15 minutes, indicating that market heat is spreading to position expansion. From now on, stop counting accounts and directly monitor whether the top position weight is recovering toward the long side.
$SUI overall accounts, top accounts, and top positions are not aligned, currently resembling a divergence market. The rise is not accompanied by position liquidation; new positions have already participated, but continuation depends on subsequent price response. Divergence markets tend to be volatile; wait for alignment between top positions and price response before making a judgment.
$PEOPLE both overall and top accounts lean long, but the top position size remains on the short side, representing a clear account/position divergence. When price rises, OI increases simultaneously, indicating this is not a simple deleveraging; position attribution still requires transaction verification. The top position ratio must recover toward 1 to indicate that position weight is starting to follow account sentiment. $DOGE surged to 0.09121. I checked large on-chain addresses and net flows on exchanges; old addresses haven't added positions, while deposits show an uptick. The narrative relies on X hype and contract leverage at the top, but the underlying accumulation hasn't been confirmed.
After confirmation, 50x short. Currently at 0.08675, with an unrealized profit of 244.49%. Cost loss locked; remaining positions target 0.084/0.082. If it can't reclaim 0.089, don't add longs. For those who missed out, don't chase whales moving to exchanges. $BTC $ETH Yesterday we discussed why a 6000U account needs to first establish a risk budget. Once the initial order budget is set, many people naturally come up with the idea: since the initial order for a single coin can't be too large, why not open positions in several coins to spread out the funds? This way, each coin's allocation seems small, so overall, isn't it safer? The answer is that you can't judge safety just by the number of coins. Opening more coins may reduce the position size per coin and broaden opportunity distribution; however, if these coins are influenced by similar market factors and fluctuate or trigger default rebalancing at similar times, the account's risk may still concentrate. Increasing the number only changes the allocation method; it does not automatically eliminate risk. 1. Increasing the number of coins changes local allocation proportions Suppose the account plans to operate multiple coins. The most direct change is that the initial order budget per coin may shrink, and the proportion of each coin in the account may decrease. This helps control concentration risk per coin but only addresses a local issue: whether risk is concentrated in a single coin. It does not answer what overall risk paths the account will bear. Each coin has its own default rebalancing path, and multiple coins may simultaneously hold long and short positions. As long as these paths unfold simultaneously in the same market movement, the account's total margin usage and available balance will change together. Therefore, "each coin's initial order is small" only indicates local entry points are dispersed; it does not directly imply "the account's overall risk is small." 2. Superficial diversification and effective diversification are not the same True diversification is not just aboutBrothers, it's really been a long time since I've seen the account rise so smoothly. Opening my eyes to a sea of green, $ETH is really performing well this wave, feels great 😁.
Last night during the review, I felt that both BTC and ETH were a bit shaky. BTC has been hovering around 80k, unable to hold steady, which is not a good sign. It's even more obvious with ETH; the double top pattern is clear, the breakout failed, so there's basically no chance of going up in the short term. So before going to sleep, I thought there was a high probability of a pullback. This morning when I woke up, I saw the orders finally starting to feed, it's my turn to take a bite.
The biggest improvement this time is that I finally stopped worrying about whether to hold the position and started thinking about when to take profit. This wave of BTC is indeed strong; the psychological barrier of 80,000 dollars hasn't been broken, and the support in the market is very strong.
Honestly, what concerns me most about this BTC rally isn't how much it has risen from the 60k range, but that after breaking through the major resistance at 80k, it wasn't immediately pushed back down. A weekly increase of over 20% would normally trigger a deep correction, but there are buyers all along, so it doesn't fall deeply at all.
The capital flow is also solid. The US spot BTC ETF has had net inflows for several consecutive days, with $338 million flowing in on August 24 alone, and nearly $1.9 billion accumulated the previous week. So I've been watching the 80k level closely these days. When a key level is repeatedly tested but not broken, it often means accumulation.

As a highly volatile mainstream public chain token, the long-short battle for SOL is particularly fierce at key resistance levels.
Traders entered short positions at $98.58, precisely targeting the critical point where bullish momentum waned. Subsequently, the market showed a stair-step decline, with extremely weak buying support; every slight rebound failed to break the previous high, ultimately suppressing the price to $96.88.

Whether intentional or not, the U.S. government has just validated the two strongest arguments for Bitcoin, and the market has responded accordingly.
There are multiple driving factors behind the current Bitcoin and cryptocurrency rally:
· Last week, the U.S. SEC announced the "Regulatory Framework for Crypto Assets," paving a compliant development path for emerging crypto projects;
· The White House convened a meeting with crypto industry executives, sending a positive signal to the sector;
· Stimulated by this, the market experienced a rapid short-term surge, catching shorts off guard and forcing them to cover their positions.
But the most important catalyst came from U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Beznos.
He was the one who ignited last week's rally and created conditions to push Bitcoin toward a new all-time high.
Step One: Long-Term Treasury Intervention
Beznos's first move was to announce plans to intervene in the long-term U.S. Treasury market.
Last Wednesday, Beznos publicly disclosed that the Treasury would double the size of its long-term bond purchases in regular repo operations, increasing from $2 billion to $4 billion. This announcement came as the 30-year Treasury yield hit its highest level since 2007.
On one hand, this move itself is limited in scale—the U.S. Treasury issues trillions of dollars in debt annually, and a few billion in repos is just a drop in the ocean.
But the real key is not the purchase size, but the signal it sends.
Although Beznos characterized it as a "liquidity adjustment measure," the market interpreted it as a deliberate effort to suppress long-term interest rates, a classic form of financial repression. And financial repression is exactly the environment Bitcoin thrives in.
When the government suppresses long-term rates, savers suffer: safe asset yields decline while inflation erodes purchasing power. This often drives capital toward scarce assets like gold and Bitcoin. Unsurprisingly, both rose in tandem after the news.
Step Two: Policy Escalation
Initially, Beznos's move had a brief effect:
· The 30-year Treasury yield briefly fell from 5.29% to 5.20%;
· The benchmark 10-year Treasury yield dropped from 4.70% to 4.65%.
But the rally did not last, and both yields quickly rebounded, approaching previous highs again. It proved that a $40 trillion debt load cannot be offset by $4 billion in repo operations.
Beznos did not stop there:
· He stated on CNBC that the repo size could exceed $4 billion;
· And when this still failed to calm the bond market, reports emerged that the Treasury might use nearly $1 trillion from its general account to conduct larger-scale bond repos.
In other words, within about 48 hours, the market's focus shifted from a $2 billion liquidity operation to the possibility of deploying $1 trillion to backstop long-term Treasuries.
This shook the entire investment community:
· Ray Dalio warned that a debt crisis is imminent and advised investors to allocate gold and Bitcoin;
· Stanley Druckenmiller wrote in The Wall Street Journal that this action constitutes "price control" and that "its severity far exceeds what $4 billion can reflect";
· Allianz Group's Chief Economic Advisor Mohamed El-Erian compared this policy attempt to Japan's painful yield curve control policy.
This discussion thrust the $40 trillion U.S. debt into the spotlight, with global economists debating currency devaluation risks. Undoubtedly, Bitcoin has greatly benefited from this market narrative.
Step Three: Weaponizing the Dollar Financial System
The situation did not end there.
On Monday, Beznos held a press conference to launch what he called an "economic blitz" targeting Iran's global financial connections.
He described it as a "financial Normandy landing," stating that this administration will push to sever Iran's ties to the global economy, sanctioning companies and countries doing business with Iran.
"Any entity assisting Iran in money laundering will be expelled from the dollar system; the countdown has begun."
He brought a long-implicit fact to the forefront: access to the dollar financial system is a tool of U.S. power. More importantly, he explicitly stated the U.S. is willing to wield this tool.
This recalls the U.S. decision to freeze Russian foreign reserves after the 2022 Ukraine crisis—an event that also laid the groundwork for subsequent sharp rises in gold and Bitcoin.
When countries weaponize payment systems, the market inevitably craves neutral alternatives.
Bitcoin is the only monetary asset that individuals can directly hold, is scarce, globally transferable, and not dependent on any single political entity's banking or custody system. (Gold is a high-quality store of value but is heavy, difficult to transport, and hard to divide, making it less practical for transactions.)
The more the global financial system becomes a tool of geopolitical games, the greater the value of a neutral financial network.
Extremely Strong Market Conditions
Within just one week, Beznos, leveraging the full policy power of the U.S. government (intentionally or not), validated Bitcoin's two core logics:
1. Implementing soft yield curve control to drive investors toward hard assets;
2. Reaffirming to the world the growing value of a neutral monetary settlement layer.
All this coincided with:
· Continued money printing by countries;
· Ongoing improvements in Bitcoin access channels;
· Leading global asset managers beginning to include Bitcoin in model portfolios.
This creates very favorable market allocation conditions.

#BTC突破80000美元，能否站稳新关口
#Strategy增发扩充现金，BTC配置节奏受关注 The combination of strong inflows into $BTC ETF funds (nearly 2 billion USD in one week) and the Greed & Fear Index soaring to a high level (reaching 74 - the highest since October 2025) is creating major shifts in the cryptocurrency market. These phenomena reflect the core factors at play: 1. The underlying cause behind the record-breaking Institutional Inflows surge: US Spot $BTC ETF funds recorded the strongest net inflow week in the past 10 months (nI plan to buy some $FIL
FIL, this coin, has increased its circulating supply (inflation) by 3,607,645 FIL within 10 days (an average daily increase of 360,000 FIL; among which the block reward is 85,235 FIL, and the current maximum circulating supply is 709,532,938). With such a high dilution rate, if this coin doesn't drop at this stage, it can be considered as rising.
I plan to buy some of this coin, betting on its potential after October 14, 2026. After that date, the daily dilution will become 60,000, which equals a 6-fold deflation. By then, the total circulating supply will also exceed 40%. If lucky, there might be ecological adoption, and there could be a little bit of room for imagination.#US expands sanctions on Iran, Strait navigation talks advance
On one hand, sanctions are intensified; on the other, Strait navigation talks have begun. The situation is tense but leaves room for easing, with no move toward a full blockade for now. Brent crude is currently priced at $88.58. After the news, risk premiums have fallen, causing a slight dip in oil prices.

Both bulls and bears are focusing on the narrow range between 78,000 and 79,000. The most noteworthy change right now comes from the rapid cooling of geopolitical risks. According to Russian media, the US and Iran are expected to resume dialogue, with both sides reaching a preliminary consensus on ceasefire terms, which may be officially announced in the coming days and push for the implementation of a permanent route within 30 to 60 days. After the news broke, crude oil prices fell nearly 2% to $80.47, significantly compressing the geopolitical premium, which is a mild tailwind for risk assets. 💡 US stocks collectively strengthened last night, with crypto-related stocks performing particularly well. Robinhood rose over 8%, and market sentiment clearly warmed. Meanwhile, Nvidia rose 2.19%, ending a seven-day losing streak. After the market is about to release earnings reports, funds are holding their breath as they wait. Meanwhile, South Korea's DRAM export prices surged 401% year-on-year, further solidifying the narrative of tight supply and demand for memory chips, providing additional support for tech stocks. On the macro level, the market is still awaiting Jackson Hole's central bank official's speech and core PCE data. The direction remains unchanged, but the pace is shifting. Returning to Bitcoin itself, the information revealed by the market structure is worth careful consideration. Above the 80,000 to 81,500 range, dense short liquidation pressure has accumulated.

#黄金高位震荡，机构资金继续看涨 #Anthropic估算30万亿美元市场，IPO叙事能否兑现？A $30T-plus TAM may make for a striking IPO frame, but the more useful signal is the gap between theoretical demand and monetizable share. Anthropic's expected 2028 revenue of roughly $190B-$200B would represent only about 0.6% of that market, underscoring how expansive the premise is.
My read: investors should weigh durable enterprise retention, pricing power and model differentiation more heavily than the headline TAM. If compute and R&D remain costly, scale must translate into profit and cash flow to support the valuation case. Not advice, just analysis.
#Anthropic30TTAM$ZEC $SNDK Turning Point Confirmed! Complete Review of High-Level Layered Short Logic
Yesterday I clearly posted my view: ZEC has officially entered a market turning point, and SNDK can be shorted around the 1550 area.
Many think this was an offhand judgment, but every step of the view is supported by complete market logic and cycle basis.
1. Overall Market Momentum: Weak Uptrend, Correction is an Inevitable Repair
The biggest flaw in this round of the market is very obvious:
BTC strongly caught up and broke previous highs, but ETH remained stagnant throughout, and most other small and mid-cap sectors simultaneously corrected and weakened.
This is a typical signal of insufficient market capital momentum.
Only BTC is holding the market alone; second- and third-tier coins are not rotating along, indicating very limited incremental funds and severe capital divergence within the market.
Such a structural market cannot sustain a one-sided rally.
The market must undergo a deep correction to release high-level selling pressure and repair overbought indicators before it can have the momentum for a second upward move.
2. $ZEC Privacy Coin Leader: Doubling Completed, Good News Fully Priced In Becomes Bad News
As the absolute leader in privacy coins, $ZEC has nearly doubled in this round, with its market cap surging into the top ten, and the short-term gains have completely overextended expectations.
Those familiar with ZEC’s history know:
This coin has extremely strong explosive power but also very fierce pullbacks; it once dropped nearly 50% in a single day and took a full month to recover back to its original level.
During this rally, institutions have fully completed low-level accumulation and wave washing, combined with recent privacy narratives and ETF expectations being hyped, the good news has been thoroughlyBTC 在 79K 附近磨了一整天，像不像暴风雨前那种安静？ 你有没有感觉到，最近盘面其实很"闷"——不是没波动，而是波动都在窄框里来回蹭。BTC 摸了一下 80K 又被推回来，目前就在 79K 到 81K 之间游走，ETH 稳在 2470 附近，SOL 卡在 99。价格没怎么动，但情绪已经悄悄换了一种温度。 先给现在这个阶段定个性：这不是追涨的时候，也不是恐慌的时候，这更像是"等结果"的震荡局。真正的变量不在盘面里，而在明天早上——Nvidia 的财报要出来了。 这件事值得认真对待，因为它不只是美股的事。Nvidia 是 AI 叙事的核心标的，而 AI 叙事恰恰是这轮风险资产偏好的风向标之一。如果数据亮眼，市场会觉得"增长还在"，风险偏好会扩散，BTC 有机会直接去够 83K；如果不及预期，短期可能先来一次回调，反而给踏空的人递了个还算舒服的上车点。 但我想多说一层：市场其实已经提前把"还不错"的预期计入了不少价格。所以真正重要的不是财报本身好不好，而是它有没有超出那个已经被定价的"好"。如果只是符合预期，可能并不会带来太多额外的买盘；真正的惊喜或惊吓，才容易撬动情绪。 另外要提醒自According to S&P Global data, $MINIMAX's short positions have soared to 20% of free-float shares (a record high), and $ZHIPU Zhipu AI is about 6%, also setting a new record. MiniMax released its semi-annual report after the market closed tonight, with Zhipu to hand over on August 31, and bears are taking the opportunity to position positions. Both were hotly speculated when they went public at the beginning of the year: Zhipu is still over 800% above its IPO price, MiniMax over 80%, but both have been halved from their peaks. After the release of Kimi K3 in July, Zhipu fell as much as 24% and MiniMax dropped 18%. Zhipu then launched the GLM-5.3. Jefferies claimed its performance was close to Kimi K3 and its single-task cost was 19% lower, yet the stock price barely rebounded. Supply-side pressure is even greater: after the July lock-up period ended, Zhipu unlocked 25.68 million shares and MiniMax unlocked 150 million shares, totaling about $11.5 billion at the market at the time. Southbound funds are still taking over (Zhipu holds about 12%, MiniMax about 8.1%) but cannot support the stock price. Analyst opinions are divided: Hedgeye believes Zhipu is suppressed by price wars and has increased price and profit margins; MiniMax, on the other hand, is "neither the smartest nor the cheapest." The core question is simple: In an environment where large models are getting cheaper and competition is intensifying, can pure large model companies still truly make money? Tonight's MiniMax earnings report is the first hurdle. #星球日报 #OKX星球话题来啦 比特币在七万九千六百一十美元附近短暂驻足，距离八万美元这道心理关口只剩一步之遥，整个加密市场的总市值也随之来到二点七一万亿美元。以太坊同步走强，价格回升至两千五百美元一线。值得留意的是，这一轮加密资产的上涨并没有得到传统市场的呼应，纳斯达克当日下跌百分之零点七六，美股整体情绪偏弱，数字资产与美股之间正在形成一条越来越清晰的独立路径。 📉 在宏观层面，市场接下来的目光会集中在八月二十八日杰克逊霍尔全球央行年会，届时沃勒的发言被普遍视为连接经济数据与政策行动的关键节点。与此同时，巴森特宣布针对伊朗推出一套被形容为“前所未有”的经济措施，核心意图是切断伊朗与全球经济的联系，打击面覆盖数字资产、技术、黄金、航空以及航运五条关键命脉，并明确警告那些仍与伊朗保持贸易往来的国家可能面临连带制裁。伊朗最高领导人的高级顾问随即回应称，反击力度将超过以往任何时候，并特别强调了霍尔木兹海峡方向的威慑能力。地缘政治的不确定性，正在成为加密市场定价中不可忽视的变量。 🌍 科技股方面，英伟达连续第七个交易日下跌，累计跌幅接近百分之三，创下自二零二二年以来最长的连跌纪录。存储与光通信板块承受了明显的抛压，美光跌$ANTHROPIC throws out a $30 trillion TAM, painting a bigger picture than $xSPCX
Just saw the news, Anthropic is preparing to tell investors a $30 trillion story in its prospectus, surpassing the $28.5 trillion thrown out by SpaceX at its IPO.
$30 trillion is the TAM, the theoretical upper limit, not the actual amount they can earn, but daring to claim this number already beats SpaceX in narrative terms. Supporting this is a set of solid data: Q2 revenue broke 11.5 billion, a 14-fold year-over-year increase, and adjusted profit turned positive. By the end of July, annualized revenue surged above 65 billion.
However, some analyses point out that ARR used the gross method to recognize revenue, possibly including money shared with cloud providers. Net loss in 2025 is 42 billion, with a similarly astonishing burn rate.
A 2 trillion valuation target corresponds to about 31 times sales, higher than the 21 times during the May private placement. Valuation runs ahead first, waiting for fundamentals to verify—how many times have you seen this script? Whether it's Anthropic's 2 trillion or Yushu's 444.9 billion market cap on the first day of listing, the logic of the capital market is to price the future in advance; it's just a matter of the size of the bet.
#Anthropic估算30万亿美元市场，IPO叙事能否兑现？ Even companies are unwilling to spend money on new models, yet Anthropic dares to paint a $30 trillion pie. If it really happens, not only the AI sector but the entire US stock market will be drained by it.
Despite Fable 5 accounting for only 11% of total expenses with dismal performance, Anthropic still plans to raise over $100 billion at a $2 trillion valuation, nearly breaking SpaceX's record.
To gather this enormous amount of funds, institutions will definitely have to sell their stakes in old leaders like Nvidia to participate in the new offering. This will directly drain the existing capital pool.
But in trading, short selling is absolutely not allowed. The initial float of the new stock is only 5%, and in the AI sector, even a small amount of money leaking in can drive the price soaring.
Now the pre-market price is actually lower than the issue price. When it officially lists, the low float combined with large capital pulling hard will most likely cause a direct blowout against short sellers.
