ETH touched 2549 and then softened again. The whole network is shouting that it will reach new highs, but I feel there's a different vibe in the air. Have you noticed that what really gets you hyped is never just that single candlestick, but the fact that everyone around you is talking in the same direction? Let's look at the data before going by feelings. ETH was pulled from 2355 all the way up to 2549.34, a nearly 200-point surge in a short time, and then? It didn't continue to push strongly upward; instead, it started to fluctuate around 2500 and has now retreated to around 2470. This rhythm feels very familiar—not a downtrend, but people starting to lose their footing at the highs. - The first surge was a test, the second surge should have been a statement, but it wasn't, which means the chips here are starting to loosen. - More importantly, BTC simultaneously touched 79998, just two steps away from 80000, but also pulled back. The whole market at the highs is showing a fatigue of "not being able to push much." My current understanding is: the market isn't trading how much ETH can still rise, but whether this rebound can hold. Those chasing above 2500 are betting on the narrative continuing to ferment, but once the price starts to stall, FOMO will slowly fade, turning into hesitation, then into wanting to exit. At times like this, both bulls and bears have reasons, but what I think is more worth noting is the overlooked direction—the internal strength and weakness within sectors has quietly diverged. For example, ZEC, from around 500BTC broke through around $81,000, with a 24-hour increase of over 4%; ETH rebounded above $2,500; SOL performed even better, with a single-day gain close to 8%. Compared to previous rallies driven solely by short liquidations, this phase has seen a new change: funds are spreading to more sectors. Previously, BTC's rise was mainly driven by ETF inflows and short covering, but now sectors like SOL, AI Agents, and Layer 2 are strengthening simultaneously, indicating that market risk appetite is increasing. Among them, SOL performed particularly well. The Bitwise staking ETF saw daily trading volume exceed $100 million, and the US SOL spot ETF also saw net capital inflows, indicating that this rally is driven not only by sentiment but also by genuine capital participation. At the same time, bear pressure has yet to be fully released. Some large short positions remain under pressure after BTC breaks through key levels, with stop-losses triggering further pushing prices upward, forming a short-term "rise—liquidation—continued rise" feedback cycle. However, it should be noted: the biggest risk in short squeeze is the rapid rise rate. After short liquidation ends, the market will re-enter the capital verification phase. Current key BTC position: $80,500 marks the short-term boundary between bulls and bears. If the price can stabilize above the level and ETF funds continue to flow in, the market may continue to expand to higher areas; If the price drops quickly after a breakout, one should be wary of short-term pullbacks caused by profit-taking. Market sentiment has clearly heated up, but a truly healthy bull market is not limited to thatUnderstanding the Hong Kong Bitcoin Conference: It's an emotional catalyst, not a direct trigger for price surge⚠️
Many people equate the Hong Kong Bitcoin Conference directly with a bullish signal, but it's important to clarify the underlying logic. The biggest highlight of this conference is not new project hype, but institutionalization and regulatory narratives.
On one hand, Hong Kong continues to release clear regulatory signals: stablecoin regulations have come into effect, licensed platforms, ETFs, and institutional custody systems are continuously improving. The conference will showcase how traditional financial institutions embrace Bitcoin and discuss practical plans for enterprises to allocate BTC as asset reserves. This is a mid-to-long-term industry logic, beneficial for the industry's long-term development, but it will not directly cause a violent short-term price surge.
On the other hand, the short-term market is more about emotional battles. The market has already priced in the positive expectations of the conference. Traders should be cautious of two scenarios: first, if regulatory benefits exceed expectations, there could be a short-term spike; second, if the speeches contain only information already known to the market with no surprises, there could be profit-taking pressure after the positive news is realized.
BTC and ETH are currently oscillating at high levels, accumulating a large amount of profit-taking positions. Event-driven price movements are highly uncertain and not suitable for chasing gains at high levels. Holders should prepare to move stop-profits; those without positions should not gamble on news but wait for the conference to conclude and observe the real market reaction before making trading decisions to avoid being whipsawed by news.
$BTC 1. Market Overview: Surge up, crash down, then surge up again
Over the past week, BTC violently surged from $64,000, rising $15,000 in a single week — the largest weekly USD gain in Bitcoin's history. On August 24, it returned to $80,000 after 100 days, reaching a high of $81,280, but was quickly pushed back down near $79,000.
The $80,000 level is a wall of sell orders. Binance has about $31.98 million in sell orders stacked around $79,945, and another $13.2 million near $80,000. Coinbase is also holding down $38.74 million. Getting pushed down right after surging is no coincidence.
Current position: oscillating between $77,000 and $79,000, with $80,000 acting as a short-term ceiling. Key support below is between $74,000 and $76,000; if it holds, another surge is possible; if not, the bottom will be sought below $70,000.
2. Who is buying? Who is selling?
Buyers:
· Spot ETFs saw a net inflow of $1.92 billion last week, the largest weekly inflow since October 2025. BlackRock's IBIT attracted over $500 million in a single day. Yesterday, another $337 million came in. Institutions are buying with real money.
· The U.S. Treasury doubled the scale of long-term bond repurchases to $4 billion, weakening the dollar and pushing funds into scarce assets. Bitcoin and gold both rose together.
Sellers:
· Short-term holders cashed out by transferring 43,300 BTC to exchanges during the rally, marking the largest profit-taking this year.
· At the $79,500 level, $550 million in leveraged positions were liquidated within 60 minutes, with a total of strong liquidations accumulating over 24 hours.If BTC really has passed the bottom area, then it will no longer be the sole core asset in the future. This week, BTC's highest price reached around 80,000. If this round's 57,800 is truly the bottom, the drop from the peak is about 54%. If it reverses from now on, the next cycle likely won't see much growth. Even if it reaches 150,000, that's basically just a 2x return. I don't really believe there will be a 5x return in 2-3 years.#BTC80KHoldOrFold #IranSanctionsOilFalls #StrategyBuildsCash Tomorrow, $NVDA reports earnings, and this could be a major market-moving event. We’ve seen this movie before: $SPCX surged immediately after earnings, only to give back the gains later. So even if Nvidia delivers strong numbers, the real question is whether the results are strong enough to beat the market’s already-high expectations. Nvidia has now fallen for seven consecutive sessions. Yesterday alone, $NVDA dropped 2%, wiping out roughly RMB 1 trillion in market value. That makes the Augus$SOL SOL back at $100 — but the drivers have changed.
Three things happening at once:
• Supply squeeze: SGP-0002/0003 under vote — if passed, daily burns could jump from 650 to 7,500–9,000 SOL
• Institutional inflow: Bitwise staking ETF hit $108M in single-day volume — all-time high
• **Leverage fuel**: Futures OI at ~$6.5B vs spot volume of just $1.74B — leverage drove the breakout, but volatility risk is real
$100 is here. Whether it holds depends on governance.
#Solana #SOLBTC breaks above 81,000, SOL ETF surges in volume: Is this rally more than just a short squeeze?
Brothers, if we explain today's bullish candle simply as "shorts getting squeezed," I think that's a bit too simplistic.
$BTC peaked at 81,280, currently around 81,010; $ETH rose to 2,529, a 24-hour increase of 3.33%; $SOL is even more dramatic, surging to 102.21 with a nearly 8% intraday gain.
Short squeeze is indeed an accelerator. After BTC broke 80,000, large whale short positions suffered unrealized losses close to tens of millions of dollars, stop losses around 80,500 were triggered repeatedly, and short covering turned into new buying pressure.
But what really deserves attention is the capital flow in SOL. Bitwise staking ETF single-day turnover exceeded $100 million, and the US SOL spot ETF also saw net inflows. If it were just contract short squeezes, SOL wouldn't necessarily show volume expansion simultaneously; now with spot and ETF funds participating, it indicates risk appetite is spreading toward high Beta assets.
On the chart, I only watch three levels:
Can BTC hold 80,500;
Can ETH stay above 2,500;
Can SOL hold 100.
If all three hold, it means this rally is not just short covering but mainstream capital beginning to spread into the ecosystem and themes.
But if BTC falls back below 80,000, ETH loses 2,500 again, and SOL drops below 100, then today's volume surge is likely just the tail end of the short squeeze.
#BTC突破80000美元，能否站稳新关口 Many people overlook a reality: after the same round of rally ends, the shakeout logic of $BTC and ETH is completely different. A large portion of $BTC chips belong to long-term dormant holders. After a big surge, major holders tend to hold and wait rather than sell off in large quantities. The pullback mainly comes from liquidation shocks caused by contract leverage, resulting in a relatively mild downward rhythm.#BTC80KHoldOrFold #IranSanctionsOilFalls #StrategyBuildsCash $BTC $80K, but the playbook has changed.
Last time it was short squeezes. This time, the Coinbase premium turned positive for the first time in 3.5 months — real US money is flowing in.
Catalysts: Treasury buyback doubled, pressuring yields lower. Dalio says "allocate a little BTC." ETFs saw $1.9B in weekly inflows — a 10-month high.
From short covering to spot accumulation — narrative shifted.
#Bitcoin #BTCA paradox is emerging in the global market: the US is increasing pressure with sanctions on Iran, but oil prices are sharply falling instead of continuing to rise. On August 24, Brent crude dropped more than $2 to around $92 per barrel, while WTI fell to about $85 per barrel. This is a notable signal because the oil market usually reacts very sensitively to geopolitical risks in the Middle East. But this time, the story is not simply “Iran sanctioned = oil prices rise.” The market is asking a different question: The actual oil supply TAC Blockchain suffered an attack exploiting a vulnerability in the Cosmos EVM module, resulting in a loss of about $7.5M, and the network was subsequently paused. How many security incidents have occurred since Cosmos Labs publicly released the EVM patch on August 19? $MANTRA, $TAC, $KII — each one worse than the last 😂
Although a full technical review from all parties is still pending and no final conclusions should be drawn from a single report, Ajian believes this series of incidents cannot be attributed to a single contract issue. It is entirely a systemic risk caused by reuse of underlying modules. The more standardized the tech stack and the faster the development, the more likely vulnerabilities will be replicated in bulk.
If you hold assets in the Cosmos EVM ecosystem, Ajian recommends you do the following:
First, pause interactions with affected Cosmos EVM projects;
Second, confirm whether the official side has paused the network, contracts, or deposits and withdrawals;
Third, do not download any so-called migration tools sent via private messages.
After a security incident, do not let scammers exploit panic to launch a second attack3 major holders chose to completely liquidate, causing this drop. Let's take a look at the overall data!
Data changes of the top 40 $Asteroid holding addresses as of 2026.8.25
1: Uniswap inflow 18.11%
MEXC outflow 33.12%
2: Top 10 addresses: 1 person increased position
Top 20 addresses: 1 person increased position
Top 40 addresses: 3 new entries, 1 person reduced position, 1 person increased position
$Asteroid Daily Key Summary:
Asteroid hasn't updated for 3 days. Today, I organized the data alone. From the data, we can see a significant outflow from MEXC, an 18% inflow into the liquidity pool, corresponding to a token price drop. Among the top 40 holders, 3 increased their positions—these are genuine increases with moderate amounts. Only 1 person reduced their position in the top 40, and the actual reduction is very small, negligible. There are also 3 new addresses entering; 1 address increased position and entered the top 40 for the first time, and 2 addresses entered due to others dropping out of the top 40. Corresponding to the 3 addresses that dropped out, I checked individually: all three completely liquidated and left. That's roughly the data. To put it simply, from the overall data, the front-row major holders' escape is quite obvious. The 3 people didn't just reduce positions but completely liquidated. The reduction by major holders has a significant impact, and the token price is closely related to these 3 major holders' liquidation. That's about it, brothers!! The Bitcoin bull market may have just begun.
Arthur Hayes' recent perspective is quite interesting:
This BTC bull market might not necessarily wait for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates.
What’s truly worth paying attention to could be that the U.S. Treasury is becoming a new liquidity variable.
Treasury expands buybacks → adjusts the structure of U.S. debt supply → improves dollar liquidity in the financial system → risk assets regain funding attention.
This logic has some similarities to the liquidity rally at the end of 2023.
But this time it might be more interesting:
In the past, we mainly focused on the Fed.
Now we also need to watch the Treasury.
Especially:
TGA
U.S. debt buybacks
Dollar liquidity
ETF capital flows
BTC price
If these lines start to resonate, then what BTC is seeing now might not be the end of the bull market, but the start of a new liquidity cycle.
Of course, Treasury buybacks ≠ QE.
So we can’t simply shout “super bull market is here” yet.
But for long-term BTC observers, the real question to consider is no longer:
“When will the Fed cut rates?”
But rather:
“Has dollar liquidity already started to turn?”
If the answer is Yes,
then this BTC bull market
may really have just begun. 🟠US BOND YIELD IS SENDING A DANGEROUS SIGNAL 🎈 There is one chart I think crypto traders should watch alongside $BTC right now. It's not TOTAL3. Not BTC Dominance. Not Funding Rate. It's: US TREASURY 30-YEAR YIELD. The 30-year US bond yield has risen to around 5.3%, near the highest level in almost two decades. The 10Y Treasury also remains high as investors demand higher yields to hold long-term US debt. And here’s the noteworthy part: BTC is still strong. Gold is still strong LAB is down nearly 48% since Aug. 1, while $BEAT fell from $6 highs under real token-unlock pressure—including a $67.8M release on Aug. 1.
But here’s the part worth watching: not every deep drawdown ends the same way.
The ZEC comparison doesn’t fully hold up either. Its breakout was backed by a real ETF catalyst, not simply “hard consolidation.”#BTC80KHoldOrFold #IranSanctionsOilFalls #StrategyBuildsCash #BTC breaks through $80,000, can it hold the new threshold? #Strategy issues more to expand cash, BTC allocation rhythm under focus Good afternoon everyone!
$BTC BTC
Narrative: Digital gold, anti-inflation, alternative reserve asset.
Reality check: It does not generate cash flow; its value is entirely based on social consensus. The only practical functions are value storage and cross-border transfer, with no application layer iteration or upgrade.
Market contradiction: The market is currently trading on "acceptance by the US system," not the technology itself. Once ETF benefits and regulatory friendliness are fully priced in, there will be no new stories to continue driving valuation higher. The advantage is a simple and clear narrative, easy for the public and institutions to understand; the downside is almost no self-sustaining ability, with price fully dependent on continuous external capital inflow. Price rises rely on expectations; price falls rely on expectations failing.
$ETH ETH
Narrative: World computer, smart contract hub, staking provides yield, RWA (real-world assets) on-chain brings large incremental income.
Reality check: DeFi and NFT have proven feasible, but large-scale traditional asset on-chain is still in early experimentation. L2 scaling solves congestion but also moves many transactions and fees off the mainnet, directly weakening ETH's revenue sources. Staking yields mostly come from token issuance, not business profits.
Market contradiction: Its valuation is priced as a "future trillion-level Web3 infrastructure," but current on-chain revenue is very small. It's like giving a growth tech company full credit for future potential. The positive is a grand narrative; the risk is if RWA and other stories fail to materialize long-term, valuation will contract, leading to a "good story but poor performance" valuation crash.
$SOL SOL
Narrative: High-performance public chain, high throughput and low fees, new generation application explosion ground.
Reality check: Performance-wise, high TPS has been achieved, on-chain transactions are active, but most volume comes from Meme coins and short-term speculation; truly long-term valuable applications are not prevalent. Network stability is improving, but the ecosystem has not yet formed large-scale sustainable cash flow.
Market contradiction: It attracts users by performance but lacks enough high-quality applications to sustain traffic. When hype is high, on-chain data looks great; when hype fades, on-chain activity quickly drops. It profits from the "next-generation public chain" imagination premium, not mature business profits.
Summary: The essential differences among the three are: BTC earns money from institutional acceptance; ETH earns money from future infrastructure growth; SOL earns money from performance and new application explosion imagination. The current market generally runs ahead of reality in expectations; future market differentiation depends on whether each narrative can be validated by real business data.#BTC突破80000美元，能否站稳新关口
I am Cige, BTC has officially broken through 80000 dollars, and this rebound has reached a new threshold.
Last week, ETF net inflows were about 1.92 billion dollars, marking the largest single-week inflow in nearly 10 months. After the price broke through 80000, the proportion of short-term holders in profit increased, and inflows on trading platforms indicate that profit-taking pressure is rising. This week also includes macro events such as PCE inflation, Jackson Hole speeches, and employment statistics benchmark revisions. What truly determines whether the market can transition from a rebound to a bull market is not just breaking through 80000, but whether ETF funds, spot trading, and macro risk appetite can continue to support it.
BTC is currently fluctuating near 80000, and the spot market needs to digest profit-taking. The direction hasn't changed, but the rhythm is shifting. Cige has finished speaking, savor it. $BTC $ETH Spot $BTC ETF net inflows over five days reached $1.92 billion, hitting a 10-month high, but the structure is extremely concentrated—BlackRock IBIT alone accounts for 80%. This "single allocator dominated" inflow is fragile: a large redemption from IBIT could reverse the entire funding situation. The long position opened at 69,940 hit the mark on the "ETF breakthrough + liquidity shift" resonance, but it is necessary to be clear: BTC ETFs have still seen a net outflow of $2.9 billion year-to-date; the single-week inflow only repairs sentiment, not the full-year trend.
Discipline: 80,000 is a strong psychological resistance and a dense profit-taking zone. With zero tolerance for 100x leverage, lock in principal in batches after 14x floating profit, set a trailing stop loss at 77,000 for the profit position, and avoid the Friday PCE data and Jackson Hole speech period. $ETH $TRUMP #BTC突破80000美元，能否站稳新关口 BTC has truly broken above 80000, reaching a high of 80908, up 23% in a week.
But this surge relies on a short squeeze—bears were liquidated for 7.2 billion, not because everyone was rushing to buy. ETFs did bring in 1.9 billion, the highest in nearly 10 months, but on-chain data looks less optimistic: short-term holders (cost basis around 68700) have unlocked profits and transferred over 40,000 BTC to exchanges, marking the largest profit-taking this year. Those who held for over half a year finally broke even and are exiting faster than anyone else.
Funding rates have also soared, with long leverage starting to pile up again. The last time it surged to 80908 and quickly dropped back to 77000 was a rehearsal for a leverage liquidation.
Personally, I am short-term bearish and have taken some short positions at the high. Either I expect a major trend reversal or I think the recent surge is too aggressive and needs a pullback—profit-taking is heavy, so I’ll wait for a decent correction before considering re-entry.
Whether it can hold depends on two points: if $BTC can defend the 70000 level, and whether this week’s PCE and Jackson Hole speeches deliver a dovish signal. If both align, only after a pullback will there be a chance to push higher. 83000 is the first hurdle; only after surpassing it can we look at 85000-90000. A short squeeze-driven rally won’t be gentle when new highs emerge. #BTC突破80000美元，能否站稳新关口 The rebound led by BTC, but the real key is whether funds are flowing into altcoins. There seems to be a gap between the apparent recovery and the actual position reshuffling. The facts confirmed in the original text are clear. The market is in a rebound phase, BTC is maintaining its trend, and ETH still requires confirmation. Subsequent observation points include SOL, XRP, SUI, and the groups LINK, AAVE, TAO, HYPE. The core variable presented is not simply the rise rate of specific assets, but whether the flow of funds is moving from top-tier assets to lower-tier assets. At this point, the important factor is the cross-market transmission structure rather than the price level itself. If altcoins do not rise alongside BTC's lead in the upward movement, this can be interpreted not as an expansion of risk appetite but as a temporary concentration of funds into the single asset BTC. Conversely, if altcoins follow BTC's rise with a time lag and this process is accompanied by trading volume, it signals a healthy cyclical phase. Structurally, the current market confirms the solidity of BTC#BTC突破80000美元，能否站稳新关口
Bitcoin breaks through $80,000 again: Three key relay conditions for the rebound to turn into a main upward wave
Bitcoin has once again surged past the $80,000 mark, continuing this rapid rebound.
The upward momentum mainly comes from resonance at two ends: first, short sellers triggering a squeeze due to dense stop-losses at key resistance levels; second, spot buying flows returning. The most indicative signal is the US spot BTC ETF, which last week saw a net inflow of $1.92 billion in a single week, marking the largest weekly inflow in nearly 10 months, with large off-exchange funds providing strong support.
However, amid the high sentiment, on-chain profit-taking is rapidly increasing. As prices reach high levels, the proportion of short-term holders in profit has sharply risen, and BTC deposits on major exchanges have significantly increased. Near the psychological $80,000 mark, profit-taking and sell pressure from unlocking positions have clearly intensified, with bulls and bears entering a white-hot dispute.
Major macroeconomic tests are also approaching. This week will see intensive releases of July PCE inflation data, Fed Chair Powell's speech at the Jackson Hole symposium, and revisions to employment statistics benchmarks. On the eve of a rate cut cycle, macro liquidity expectations will directly determine the ceiling of risk appetite.
What truly decides whether the market can transform from an "oversold rebound" into a "main bull market" is never the number $80,000 itself, but whether ETF funds can continue to accumulate, whether spot trading volume can expand to absorb, and whether macro risk appetite can smoothly take over. Avoid blindly chasing highs; focus on confirming the pullback at the $80,000 level. $NVDA has experienced a 7-day consecutive pullback before the early Thursday earnings report, reflecting profit-taking and the clearing pressure from high baseline expectations. The core issue lies in whether data center revenue and next quarter guidance can support the high valuation speculation.
The 7-day consecutive decline has preemptively realized some profit-taking positions, resulting in a short-term deleveraging and cleanup of the chip structure. The driving factors, in order of importance, are the realization of data center revenue, the direction of next quarter's performance guidance, and the repricing of overall risk appetite.
The bullish scenario triggers if data center revenue exceeds expectations and next quarter guidance maintains high growth, which would enhance overall risk appetite. At that time, it is necessary to observe the strength of capital inflow concentrated in heavyweight stocks. If there is a post-market surge accompanied by sector resonance, performance recovery will drive a new round of price exploration.
The bearish scenario triggers if data center revenue falls short of very high expectations or guidance is weak, causing a flight to safety from high-valuation assets. It is necessary to observe whether the selling pressure spreads to assets in the same sector. If there is a gap down opening accompanied by expanding selling pressure, it indicates that long positions are stopping losses and exiting, confirming the risk of high expectations falling through.
The invalidation signal for the established scenario is abnormal chip feedback in the market. If performance indicators exceed expectations but face profit-taking selling, or if guidance falls short but capital forcibly pushes prices up, it indicates the market is fully dominated by short-term position clearing rather than fundamentals.
The most critical observation variables for the next 7 days are the actual reading of data center revenue and the growth range of next quarter's guidance.
#黄金高位震荡，机构资金继续看涨 #阿里配售获超额认购，高管增持能否稳住信心？The storage sector collectively crashed last night!
SanDisk $xSNDK fell 6.45%, Seagate (STX) dropped 6.51%, Micron $xMU declined 5.83%, Western Digital (WDC) fell 5.24%, and SK Hynix $xSKHY dropped 4.92%. This morning, South Korea's KOSPI opened down over 3%, Samsung Electronics fell nearly 4%, and SK Hynix dropped nearly 5% again.
The trigger was Samsung. After the market closed on August 21, Samsung announced a maximum shareholder return of 110 trillion KRW ($80 billion), but JPMorgan bluntly stated it "failed to deliver better-than-expected benefits" — Q3 dividend scale was small, no buyback announced, and shareholder returns remained at 50% of FCF. The market's disappointment directly hit the entire storage sector.
A deeper concern is: how much longer can the AI storage cycle last? SanDisk has already risen 574% this year, SK Hynix previously dropped 49% but was pulled up by the largest buyback in history of 40 trillion KRW. At such a high level, any slight disturbance will be magnified.
Now everyone is waiting for a bellwether, Nvidia. Its Q2 earnings report will be released after the market closes on August 26, which is a critical window to test whether AI computing demand can continue. This round of storage stock sell-off is essentially capital's risk aversion and profit-taking ahead of earnings.
The long-term logic of AI storage remains unchanged (Hynix's 40 trillion KRW buyback, HBM capacity locked until 2027), but short-term volatility at high levels is huge. Don't heavily bet on direction before earnings are released; wait until Nvidia's report comes out and sector sentiment clears up before making a move #IranSanctionsOilFalls The United States has expanded its campaign to economically isolate Iran, targeting oil, shipping, technology, aviation, gold and digital-asset activity. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warned Iran’s trading partners to begin withdrawing or risk secondary sanctions. Washington also sanctioned dozens of entities and vessels linked to Tehran. Iran’s rial weakened to a record low, while Iranian officials promised a stronger response. Despite the escalating rhetoric, oil prices fell as markets questioned how quickly the measures would reduce exports.
The market reaction shows that stricter sanctions do not automatically create an immediate supply shock. Countries may receive time to wind down activity, and Iran has extensive experience using intermediaries to maintain trade. Oil could rise sharply if enforcement removes meaningful volumes or causes further shipping disruption around Hormuz. Higher energy prices would support inflation and gold but could pressure liquidity-sensitive assets. Bitcoin may receive some hedge demand, yet tighter dollar conditions could offset that benefit. Confirmed export data and shipping movements are more important than political language alone.If someone had told me a week ago that in just 7 days, BTC could surge from around 63,000 to break through the 80,000 mark, I would most likely have thought they were hallucinating from holding a position too long. But the reality is that the long four-month downtrend and bottoming process was completely reversed by this violent rally. The explosive power of the market always exceeds ordinary people's expectations.
I am the most typical negative example myself. I entered a long position at 62,760 but hastily took profit at just 63,600, only making a tiny bit of profit, and watched the entire epic rally pass me by. I was too afraid of profit retracement, got unsettled with slight fluctuations, couldn't hold the trend, and constantly worried that the gains in hand would vanish. In the end, I could only watch the market soar wildly and missed the fattest part of the main upward wave.
Now my heart is full of regret, always wanting to short to make up for the missed opportunity, but reason tells me that shorting against a strong one-sided market is like licking a knife. Not to mention that a short-term drop back below 70,000 is almost impossible. The current bullish trend has firmly established the 80,000 level, and there is still momentum to push higher. Blindly opening short positions will only replicate the previous tragedy of shorts being liquidated en masse.
This round of rally is not just pure emotional speculation. The US spot BTC ETF continues to see large net inflows, institutional buying keeps coming in, combined with the macro expectation of a weakening dollar, the risk-hedging logic of Bitcoin is being continuously reinforced by capital. Spot buying combined with passive short covering has created a resonant short squeeze market. The power of the trend is far stronger than individual subjective predictions. $$BTC $ETH Cryptocurrency may have already started to front-run the next wave of liquidity in the US.
Bitcoin surged from 62k to over 81k in less than a week, a 30% increase.
This rally began when the Treasury doubled the scale of long-term bond repurchases to at least 4B per operation.
Since reports that Bessent might have 950B in TGA firepower, BTC has risen another 4.7%.
If these funds are deployed, the Treasury's Fed account funds will flow into the financial system, injecting liquidity.
This could support bond prices, lower yields, and push investors toward stocks and cryptocurrencies.
This is not quantitative easing (QE), but the market may view it as a form of temporary monetary easing.
The Treasury will eventually need to replenish its cash account, which may reverse this liquidity boost.
For now, BTC seems to have priced in this possibility. #BTC突破80000美元，能否站稳新关口 #ETH触及2500美元后震荡 If you are currently out of the market, it can indeed feel quite uncomfortable. The market is going through a typical selection phase: not entering means fearing further rises; chasing in means fearing another pullback. Currently, there are basically two strategies:
(1) Strategy 1: Wait for a pullback, referencing the short-term holder cost on-chain (STH-RP, currently about 70K). For the bold and those planning to hold long-term, go all in on the dip. For those not in a hurry, take a partial position; if it falls below the STH-RP, keep buying more as it drops, continuously averaging down.
(2) Strategy 2: Wait for trend confirmation. Reference the 365-day moving average (currently about 83K). Historical data shows that when BTC reclaims the 365-day moving average (for example, stabilizing above it for 3 days), it often means the main bear market phase is over, and you can chase the rally directly.
Because the current on-chain data and candlestick charts resemble 2019, if the market follows a similar pattern to 2019, it would be a continuous rally, directly entering a small bull market before a pullback. Therefore, Strategy 2 is needed as a Plan B, but you have to overcome your fear of heights.
(This strategy is based on model analysis, for reference only, trade at your own risk) $BTC Bitcoin has officially stabilized above the $80,000 mark, returning to a three-month high. This round of rally has long surpassed the scope of a typical rebound.
The core driving force behind this market movement is the dual push of genuine institutional capital inflow combined with forced short position liquidations. The US spot BTC ETF has seen net inflows for five consecutive days, with a single-week scale approaching $2 billion, marking the strongest capital inflow in nearly 10 months; during the price breakthrough of key resistance levels, approximately $220 million in short positions were liquidated in concentrated fashion. The spot buying and short squeeze formed a resonance, jointly pushing the price upward.
The previously widely anticipated psychological $80,000 threshold has now been effectively broken. As long as the subsequent pullback near $80,000 can hold support, the target of $84,000 above may arrive faster than the market expects.
According to historical market patterns, after Bitcoin stabilizes at key highs, capital often gradually diffuses from BTC to mainstream altcoins. Once BTC completes sideways consolidation above $80,000, a catch-up rally in major coins like ETH and SOL is highly likely to follow.
In a one-sided explosive rally, the cost of holding positions and gambling is always extremely heavy. Many shorts face liquidation pressure in this rally; the relief of not having to stubbornly hold on can only be understood by traders who have experienced it firsthand. The market never exists as a scenario of only rising without falling. Behind the euphoria lies hidden volatility risk. Even if bulls currently dominate, blindly loading up on high positions must be avoided. #ZEC创站内历史新高，隐私资产重估
ZEC's high-speed train, if you can't catch up, don't force it!
$ZEC weekly increase of 75.5%, once surged to $850, has transformed from a "privacy coin catch-up" to one of the main capital themes. Behind this are both the risk appetite spread from BTC's weekly rise of about 25%, and catalysts like the Grayscale spot ETF expectation and the August 25 NU7 governance vote; but what is more worth caution is that the current derivatives leverage is about $926 million, making the market extremely sensitive to liquidations and funding rates.
My strategy: Do not chase the acceleration after the 75% rise, watch for stability around $800–820 before considering $900; if it falls below $800, reduce leverage first and look further toward around $770. If ETF expectations continue to heat up and the governance vote goes smoothly, $1000 is not out of the question; but if there is a "good news realization," this surge could also turn into dive fuel.$OKB rose 8.27% in one day, and the Intercontinental Exchange's card is not yet played!
OKB is currently priced at $115.55, up 8.27% in 24 hours, outperforming BTC and ETH directly. Don't just focus on mainstream coins; OKB's alpha characteristics are becoming increasingly obvious.
The core logic remains the same: In August 2025, OKX will burn 65.26 million OKB tokens in one go, permanently locking the total supply at 21 million, cutting supply + deflation. Now OKB is the only Gas token on the X Layer; the more active the on-chain activity, the greater the consumption, the less the supply.
But the real potential lies in the crossover with traditional finance. The Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) invested in OKX at a $25 billion valuation and secured a seat on the board. ICE plans to connect NYSE-level market infrastructure with OKX, launch compliant futures pegged to OKX crypto prices, and is preparing to open NYSE tokenized stocks to about 120 million OKX users.
Now Coinbase has also launched tokenized stocks like Apple and Nvidia on the Base chain, enabling 24/7 trading without brokerage accounts. This indicates that the "traditional financial assets going on-chain" track is starting to gain momentum — and behind OKX stands ICE, the parent company of NYSE, a narrative not yet fully priced in.
In the short term, OKB liquidity is not as good as BTC/ETH, and volatility is more intense. But with the deflationary model + ICE endorsement + tokenized assets on-chain, the triple narrative overlap means once market sentiment picks up, the elasticity far exceeds that of mainstream coins.
Don't just allocate mainstream coin positions to heavily hold OKB Register an SPV in Tasmania, package a sustainably harvested forest area + abalone fishing quota + a winery, perform legal confirmation → custodian bank review → issue ERC-3643 / ERC-20 fractional tokens (TAS-RWA).
Settlement side: TAS-RWA is priced in USD1, dividends (AUD exchanged for USD1), Chainlink price feed.
Access side: WLFI staking ≥X tokens → obtain TAS-RWA initial subscription rights and fee discounts; WLFI itself does not pay dividends, only consumes scenarios.
Narrative side: "The last low-entropy continent's on-chain property certificate in the Southern Hemisphere" — the selling point is geopolitical hedging + carbon sink + food sovereignty, not technology.
Structurally, this aligns with WLFI official's concept of "natural resources / agriculture access for WLFI holders."#美光加码AI存储，十年研发投入100亿美元
The more AI intensifies, the more valuable storage becomes.
Micron is starting to bet early on the next wave of demand.
Recently, there has been a change in the AI industry that I think is worth noting: money is beginning to flow from GPUs to storage.
Micron plans to invest about $10 billion in Japan over the next ten years for R&D and production, focusing on advanced storage technologies needed for AI servers.
The reason is quite easy to understand.
AI models are getting larger, and servers need to process more data. GPUs alone are no longer enough; high-speed storage like HBM and DRAM are also becoming bottlenecks.
So in this round of AI market trends, you shouldn’t just focus on NVIDIA.
GPUs handle computation, storage feeds the data. As AI computing power continues to expand, storage is very likely the next area to continuously receive capital expenditure. $SNDK $MU $SKHYNIX #美启动对伊经济孤立，油价为何回落？ #Strategy增发扩充现金，BTC配置节奏受关注 Bitcoin has returned to $80,000 after more than three months, reaching a high of 80,908. It rose 23% in the past week, marking the largest weekly gain in nearly three years.
Several factors are behind this surge: U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen announced increased long-term bond repurchases to suppress long-end yields, weakening the dollar, while both Bitcoin and gold have been rising. Last week, 13 U.S. spot BTC ETFs saw a net inflow of $1.92 billion, the strongest weekly inflow in nearly 10 months. Additionally, Trump is pushing for crypto legislation, which also supports market sentiment.
But here’s the problem—short sellers were liquidated for $7.2 billion. This rally is largely driven by a short squeeze rather than genuine buying interest.
On-chain signals are also worth noting. $BTC short-term holders (cost basis around 68,700) have unlocked profits and transferred over 43,000 BTC to exchanges, marking the largest profit-taking scale this year. New whales realized over $1.2 billion in profits within three days, with a single-day record of $614 million. In other words, those who held for over half a year have finally broken even and are eager to exit.
Whether the price can hold depends on two points: whether the short-term holders’ cost line at 70,000 can hold, and whether this week’s PCE data and Jackson Hole speeches provide a dovish signal. If both align and ETFs continue to see inflows, the rebound could turn into a trend.
83,000 is the first hurdle; only after surpassing it can we look toward 85,000–90,000. Until then, a rally driven by a short squeeze won’t be gentle with the surge of selling at high levels. #BTC突破80000美元，能否站稳新关口 $SPCX SPCX 136.27, SpaceXAI adopts NVIDIA Vera CPU to accelerate Agentic AI — this news might be a major catalyst for a surge in other assets, but for SPCX, the price barely moved because the unlocking expectations suppress the price more than the technical benefits. 😅
SAR=133.57 is just below, recently broken through; EMA21=135.73 is also underfoot; EMA55=136.61 is overhead, and the price is trying to break through EMA55 — if it can close steadily above 136.6, the short-term trend may turn stronger; if it falls back, it might retest the 133-135 range. RSI6=60.46, RSI12=53.00, RSI24=49.18 — short-term strengthening, mid-term neutral. The KDJ three lines are diverging upwards, just formed a golden cross, momentum is still strengthening but not by much.
If the news about NVIDIA Vera CPU had come six months ago, SPCX might have already surged to 150. But now the market seems a bit "tired" of SpaceX's good news — it's not that the good news is unimportant, but the unlocking expectations have suppressed the price too much. The technical breakthrough is real, but the contract structure is another matter. SpaceX's fundamentals are fine, but SPCX's contract structure has unlocking issues. When fundamentals and contract structure conflict, the market usually resolves the contract structure issue first before considering fundamentals.
Comment below, do you think SPCX can break through 140? Or is 138 the peak for this wave? My account is still empty, but I'm curious about your views. 🫡
The adoption of NVIDIA Vera CPU is a solid technical upgrade for SpaceX. But if even news of this level can't support the price, what will be SPCX's next positive catalyst? If you disagree, come argue and show your trades. 😅#BTC突破80000美元，能否站稳新关口
Damn! Is the raging bull market just around the corner?
Bitcoin just surged wildly from the bottom to above 80,000, ETH followed up to 2,500, and the entire crypto market cap soared to around 2.7 trillion.
Meanwhile, the US stock market is a mess: the Nasdaq just softened into a puddle, dropping nearly one percent. AI hardware has completely collapsed, with Nvidia falling for seven consecutive days, setting the longest losing streak in recent years.
Storage chips and optical communication guys are even worse off. Micron dropped nearly 6%, SanDisk and Seagate each fell over 6%, the whole sector got tossed around like a rag, and money is flowing into defensive stocks.
Funds are clearly fleeing from overvalued chips to defensive plays, but crypto is doing its own thing, completely decoupled from traditional markets.
I don’t think this feels like a bull market returning. This is a drop from the 126,000 high, and the current trend is still shaky and drifting downward. Every rebound is weak, with each high lower than the last.
Just a few thousand dollars up, or a few days of consecutive gains, and people get impatient and start making up bullish stories?
The only real level to watch is 84,000. That’s not just a random line; it’s the bull-bear dividing line for this cycle. Only if it breaks through and holds does it count.
In the past week, spot ETFs have sucked in over 2 billion dollars, with institutions quietly buying in.
The US Treasury has doubled its bond repurchase efforts, 30-year Treasury yields are falling, and the dollar is weakening. Shorts are being force-liquidated wave after wave, exploding like it’s New Year. Leveraged longs are crowded tightly between 75,000 and 79,000.
Short liquidation pressure above 80,000 is piled high; pushing higher could trigger a chain of forced liquidations. But right now, short-term profit-taking is as thick as a city wall. If it can’t hold 81,000 and falls back to the 78,000–79,000 range, that’s completely expected.
Look at how traders on X are analyzing it. Some are shouting, “No more resistance, might sweep to 82,000 or even clear liquidity above 80,000.”
Some big influencers think 84,000 is the biggest resistance, possibly grinding there first then pulling back to 78,000. Long-term bulls shouldn’t expect a true bull market to start immediately; institutions are eager to push to target prices to facilitate selling.
This Friday, Powell will speak at Jackson Hole, and everyone is hoping he can present clear standards that truly connect economic data with policy.
80,000 has already been stepped on, and many people are FOMO chasing the rally. But the real bull-bear dividing line is still around 84,000!
In a bull market, blindly chasing highs and selling lows will only accelerate your losses! Bitcoin has finally stomped $80,000 underfoot. From over $60,000 all the way up to $80,000, this move is indeed quite fast. In just over a week, it has risen more than 25%, and even the previously low-lying knockoff coins have started to move, with SOL jumping 8% today. But I actually think the biggest concern now is not not getting in the stock, but getting carried away. Clear signs of overheating have already appeared in the market. After BTC surged above $80,000, the short-term rally was too rapid, and technical indicators have entered the overbought zone. Even more interestingly, some people in the market have already started directly betting $82,000, with single bets reaching $2.9 million. Everyone should understand this feeling — the higher the price rises, the more excited those chasing the rally become, and the easier it is to rebuild leverage. After so many years of doing BTC, I have one feeling that hasn't changed: the real danger is often not that no one is bullish, but that everyone suddenly thinks, "This time it will definitely rise." Of course, the current rally is not purely driven by sentiment. After the U.S. Treasury expanded long-term Treasury repurchases, the dollar weakened, and "currency depreciation trading" was revived by the market, with assets like BTC and gold benefiting from the funds. There is another easily overlooked point: support for cryptocurrencies in U.S. politics is still increasing. Stand With Crypto has already endorsed 32 current House members, all of whom have supported the Clarity Act. The crypto industry is no longer just about trading cryptocurrencies; it is now participating in the U.S. midterm elections and regulatory games with real money. So I won't spend 80,000 on it nowThe US initiates "economic isolation" of Iran, yet oil prices fall—why?
On the surface, it seems counterintuitive:
US intensifies sanctions on Iran → geopolitical risk rises → crude oil should increase.
But the market is not trading on the word "sanctions" itself, but rather:
Will this action actually reduce global oil supply?
The current market answer is: not for now.
On August 24, the US Treasury announced expanded secondary sanctions on Iran aimed at further cutting off Iran's trade, financial, and energy revenues, but no immediate large-scale military action or full closure of the Strait of Hormuz has occurred yet.
Therefore, oil prices have actually fallen, with WTI dropping to about $85 and Brent to around $91.
First, the market views this as "economic pressure," not "military escalation."
This is the key distinction.
If the US announced:
Sanctions escalation + expanded military action + imminent closure of the Strait of Hormuz
Oil prices would likely quickly price in supply disruption risks.
But the signals from the US now are closer to:
Economic containment first, continued pressure, aiming to force Iran to concede.
Some analyses even suggest the market interprets this extreme pressure as creating conditions for negotiation or de-escalation, so risk premiums actually decline.
In other words:
Sanctions escalation ≠ immediate drop in crude oil supply.
Second, the market has already priced in a large portion of geopolitical risk in advance.
This is especially important.
Oil prices had already surged significantly due to US-Iran conflicts and Strait of Hormuz risks.
Now the market is shifting from:
"Will supply disruption happen?"
to:
"What is the actual probability of supply disruption?"
As long as this probability does not rise further, the previously accumulated war premium will start to be withdrawn.
So your earlier statement is very accurate:
Oil prices trade not today's barrels, but tomorrow's war probability.
Third, the market currently believes Iranian crude can still flow.
Iran's largest crude buyer remains China. Although US sanctions have clearly reduced Iran's crude flow to China, the market has not seen supply suddenly drop to zero.
Moreover, the most critical question remains:
Has the Strait of Hormuz been fully blocked?
As long as the strait remains partially open, the global market will not price oil as if all Iranian crude has exited.
---
But there is a reverse risk here.
Falling oil prices do not mean geopolitical risks have disappeared.
In fact, the market now shows a clear "asymmetry":
Negotiations/de-escalation → oil prices continue to fall.
Conflict escalation/substantial Strait of Hormuz disruption → oil prices may rebound quickly.
Especially since the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve is currently at very low levels, with buffer capacity significantly reduced compared to the early crisis stage.
So oil prices now look like:
Withdrawing some war premium but not fully removing geopolitical risk premium.
Real impact on the market
This is actually worth noting for gold, BTC, and US stocks.
If oil prices continue to fall:
Energy inflation pressure ↓
→ Market worries about further Fed tightening ↓
→ US Treasury yield pressure may ease
→ Risk assets gain some recovery room.
But if the Strait of Hormuz faces renewed substantial risk:
Oil prices ↑ → Inflation expectations ↑ → Rate cut expectations ↓ → US Treasury yields ↑ → BTC and US stocks under pressure.
So when watching crude oil now, the real focus should not be how many companies the US sanctioned today.
But rather:
Has the Strait of Hormuz experienced substantial supply disruption?
In short: The US "economic isolation" of Iran looks like an escalation of conflict, but the market currently interprets it as "economic pressure without simultaneous military risk escalation," so the previously accumulated war premium is being withdrawn. The real danger point for oil prices is not the sanctions themselves, but whether sanctions ultimately force Iran to take more aggressive countermeasures like blocking the Strait of Hormuz. $BTC #美启动对伊经济孤立，油价为何回落？ #ETH震荡 after reaching $2500
This time, I actually feel that $ETH sideways movement is not necessarily "accumulating strength for a rise," but more like cooling down after the previous sharp surge, even somewhat resembling distribution at a high level.
After the price surged from above 1800 to over 2500, there was no sustained volume increase pushing it higher; instead, it quickly entered a consolidation phase. This indicates that selling pressure at the top is not weak. Although ETF funds are still flowing in, the inflow pace has clearly slowed, and the price's reaction to the funds has started to dull. The bottom support remains but is far less solid than BTC.
What truly deserves attention is the coordination of volume and price. If ETH keeps lowering its highs during consolidation, with trading volume continuously shrinking and the inflow of funds unable to keep up, then this sideways movement is more likely distribution rather than bottom building.
Therefore, I won’t rush to be bullish just because there hasn’t been a big drop for a few days. Short-term opinions may differ, but as long as momentum weakens, the trend is prone to ending prematurely. On the contrary, chasing gains at the top is more likely to be driven by emotions, ultimately getting stuck halfway up the mountain. BTC hit the brakes above 77K, but I still didn't dare let go of the string in my heart. Have you noticed that the market lately doesn't seem to be a stagnant pool anymore? Last night, while watching the market, I stared at the high of 79.5K and then watched it slowly retreat. The first thought that popped into my mind wasn't "It's over," but rather "This time it really seems a bit different." BTC didn't crash after touching the highs like in previous rounds; instead, it held firmly above 77K, like a cat testing the water temperature before retracting its paw—alert but not fleeing. ETH also stayed quietly above 2.4K, not holding it back. What really lifted my spirits was that funds started testing the higher Beta direction. Elastic names like ZEC and HYPE actually started attracting funds to touch them. This shows the market no longer just huddles in the arms of industry leaders; risk appetite is quietly rising, and people are willing to look for opportunities farther away. The strength between sectors is shifting from "only big pies can be bought" to "even knockoffs want to show their skills." Behind this is a stronger support: US spot BTC and ETH ETFs attracted about $2.6 billion last week, marking the strongest weekly inflow since October. This money isn't pocket money for retail investors; it's institutions using real money to make a statement. When funds vote with their feet, it's often much more honest than slogans. But I don't want to say too much. The trend seems more solid, but the confirmation signals haven't fully emerged yet. ETF data is a lagging indicator, reflecting the upward trendIn February 2026, Waymo completed a $16 billion financing round. Participants included Alphabet, Dragoneer, Sequoia Capital, Mubadala, and Temasek, among others. The presence of sovereign capital, tech giants, and venture capital on the shareholder list indicates that driverless taxis have moved from a technological experiment to a heavy-asset expansion phase. According to data disclosed by Waymo, the company completed 15 million rides in 2025; by early 2026, it had completed over 20 million rides cumulatively, with more than 400,000 orders per week, covering six major metropolitan areas in the United States. The next step is to establish operational infrastructure in more than twenty cities including Tokyo and London. Waymo financing and operational data Meanwhile, Chinese companies are also accelerating their overseas expansion. Baidu Apollo Go has launched fully driverless commercial operations in Dubai and is testing in markets such as London, Switzerland, and Hong Kong; Pony.ai has announced overseas plans and potential orders exceeding 4,000 vehicles, with plans to deploy over 2,000 vehicles in the European market through Uber. Baidu Q2 2026 performance, Pony.ai overseas fleet plans Urban transportation is witnessing a new commodity: machine drivers that can be replicated, dispatched, and generate revenue calculated per kilometer. Twenty years of technology have finally met cities ready for expansion. The driverless driving boom can be traced back to the 2004 DARPA Challenge in the United States. At that time, no vehicle completed the desert course. A few years later, LiDAR, cameras, high-precision maps, and machine learning gradually matured, Go$SOL This rally is beautiful!
But I want to be honest with you. On 8/25, SOL surged to around 101 (weekly gain of 25%+), with RSI at 90 indicating extreme overbought conditions. Technically, it's signaling "the easy money from this wave has already been made."
The backstory: Expected new SEC regulatory framework + a short squeeze clearing 4.6 billion in three days + ecosystem capital inflow (stablecoin supply on Solana reached 65.8 billion, TVL 5.55 billion).
But there's a detail you need to notice: liquid staking TVL rose 25% in a week, yet spot DEX volume dropped 21%. Money is shifting from trading to staking for yield, retail chasing memes, smart money withdrawing. Also, the Drift 295 million hack and Term Finance attack make security a hidden risk.
Technically, SOL has risen above the 50-day moving average (77.7) and 200-day moving average (81.3), with a short-term target of 98–100.
My advice: For those holding, take profits in batches above 100; for those wanting to enter, don’t chase the price between 95–100, wait for a pullback to 88–90 support, and reconsider the structure if it falls below 85.
Folks, SOL is very volatile but also prone to sharp corrections, so keep your position size within what you can sleep comfortably with. I am the mid-term intelligence guy.
#Strategy increased issuance to expand cash, BTC allocation pace under attention
First, about Strategy, this guy issued 18.26 million shares via ATM last week, raising 2 billion USD, but didn't buy a single $BTC, piling up cash to 6.69 billion, and conveniently repurchased discounted STRC preferred shares.
Seller is not chasing highs now; once the coin price returns above cost line, they stockpile ammo, waiting to buy discounted BTC or preferred shares again. The buying pace for coins is clearly braking.
#US initiates economic isolation on Iran, why did oil prices fall?
Looking at Iran, the US is implementing "economic isolation actions" with secondary sanctions. Logically supply should be tight, but Brent and WTI $CL actually dropped over 2%.
Why?
Earlier "buying on expectations" has already risen enough. This round is economic sanctions, not bombing the strait, not directly cutting Gulf exports. The Hormuz night shift still passes 16 million barrels, the positive factors are exhausted, and funds are exiting to take profits.
For a real reversal, we have to wait for Iran to block the strait; otherwise, oil prices will continue to give up premiums in the short term. $HYPE 80.13, +1.55%, just 4% away from the ATH of 83.34. This token bounced back directly from the 77 support level last week, and a breakout is right ahead.
The logic behind Hyperliquid keeps getting smoother: the top on-chain perpetual DEX, with 320 million in 24-hour trading volume, and buybacks funded by real cash. BTC rose 20% in a week, on-chain trading volume surged, and Hyperliquid, as the largest on-chain perpetual platform, directly benefits—trading volume up → revenue up → buybacks up → price up. This flywheel spins fast in a bull market.
Unlike UNI, HYPE has real revenue buybacks. Unlike OKB, it’s decentralized. This paradigm is unmatched in the entire market.
But the ATH of 83.34 is right above; the first time it touched 83, volume shrank and it pulled back. This time, it’s been sideways at 80-81 for two days, with volume increasing, like it’s gathering strength. If BTC holds above 80k and triggers an on-chain sentiment explosion, HYPE could very well hit a new high this week.
HYPE’s volatility is three times that of BTC, so position sizing should be about one-third of BTC’s. Should you chase the breakout above 83 or wait for a pullback? I choose to wait for the pullback 【Strategy raised $2B but didn't buy a single BTC】
Last week, Strategy sold about 18.26 million shares of $MSTR, raising approximately $2B, but its $BTC holdings remained at 840,447 coins, about 4% of the total supply.
Of the funds, $300M was used to replenish the USD Reserve, increasing it to $5.10B; another $136.4M was used to repurchase STRC, and the remaining approximately $1.59B went into a more flexible cash pool.
Peter Schiff also pinpointed the most sensitive issue: Strategy's YTD BTC Yield has dropped from 13.3% in May to -3.3%.
The cash pool can still be used to buy BTC in the future, so it’s not yet definitive that Strategy has abandoned increasing its holdings. But for MSTR shareholders, last week they endured dilution without an increase in BTC holdings, and some funds were used to support $STRC.
When capital allocation starts prioritizing cash reserves and preferred stock, has the original investment logic of MSTR—"issuing more shares to increase BTC per share"—changed?
If you had to choose, would you hold MSTR now or directly hold BTC? Hello everyone, I am the Big Prince with a great mindset 🐮
BTC's current rebound is strong, driven mainly by two core factors:
1. The U.S. Treasury has increased the scale of U.S. debt repurchases, causing Bitcoin and gold to rise in tandem, benefiting simultaneously as inflation-hedge assets. Nvidia's earnings report on Wednesday is a key macro turning point; if the report performs well, it could further boost the crypto sector and storage stocks.
2. BTC ETFs saw nearly $2 billion in net inflows last week, Coinbase's premium shifted from positive to negative, and retail sentiment changed from panic selling to actively buying the dip. This rally is driven by short squeezes combined with new spot market capital inflows.
Looking at the technical chart:
On the weekly level, last week closed with a strong bullish candlestick, engulfing several previous bearish candles, forming a bullish "door" pattern. Comparing with historical trends, the market may first test the previous high near 82,500 with a false breakout, then pull back to the gap with a long lower shadow, before officially starting a bull market.
BTC faces very strong resistance in the 82,000-83,000 range, where a large amount of previous trapped positions are concentrated. A one-time breakout is very difficult and will likely become a phase of pressure and reversal, with a significant risk of pullback on the daily chart. The previous rally was too fast, so a rapid correction of similar magnitude is also possible.
#BTC突破80000美元，能否站稳新关口 #美启动对伊经济孤立，油价为何回落？ $ETH is a bit risky this round ⚠️
In 15 minutes, it dropped directly from around 2500 to 2480, MACD turned bearish, and Coinglass long-short ratio fell from about 1.3 to 1.16, clearly showing bulls are starting to retreat.
More importantly: the daily RSI has surged to around 95, indicating severe short-term overheating; but the 15-minute RSI has already dropped to 20, meaning shorting here is also prone to a rebound.
My judgment: short-term bias is bearish, watch the 2480→2460 support; only if it breaks below is there a chance to continue weakening; if it stabilizes around 2480, be wary of a quick rebound.
No chasing longs at highs, no chasing shorts on sharp drops, wait for confirmation before entering. 📉How did ETH rise so much this week?
It went straight from 1900 to 2547, nearly +30% in a single week.
It wasn’t a slow climb; it was almost a vertical surge.
The core reasons are three things stacked together:
1. The US Treasury suddenly doubled the scale of long-term bond repurchases, releasing liquidity.
2. ETH spot ETFs had a net inflow of nearly $700 million in a week, with institutions buying real money.
3. A large-scale short squeeze, leveraged short positions liquidated, and passive buying directly pushed the price up.
A typical "macro easing + institutional inflow + short squeeze" triple play.
Now it has pulled back to around 2480 and is consolidating, which is normal digestion.
In the short term, whether 2500 can hold is key, and 2420 is a critical support level.
The rise was too rapid, so chasing the high carries significant risk.
But if the structure can hold after the pullback, this wave might not be over yet.
What do you think? Is this pulse over, or the start of a mid-term recovery?$SNDK is the "injured protagonist" in the storage sector today, but the mid-term view remains unchanged: wait for a full drop before buying.
On 8/24, SNDK closed at 1,493.12, down 6.45% (previous close 1,596); pre-market on 8/25 at 1,492, still down 6.5%; early Korean stocks on 8/25 were even worse, KOSPI -3%, Samsung -8.7%, Hynix -3.41%. YTD still +521%, 52-week high 2,354, this drop is profit-taking, not a breakdown in logic.
Citi remains bullish: NAND supply is tight, AI eSSD demand is exploding, August Investor Day provided a technology roadmap + capital return. SNDK is a core stock in the "storage supercycle."
But short-term pressures are threefold: Samsung shareholder returns below expectations, waiting for NVDA's 8/26 earnings guidance, PE 21.64 is not cheap. Good news is already priced in, don't catch a falling knife before earnings.NVIDIA and Marvell are like two AI report cards this week
The market is not unaware of the strong AI demand; the real question is: with such expensive capital expenditures, has the return actually started to materialize? NVIDIA focuses on upstream pricing power, Marvell focuses on custom chips and customer concentration. Together, these two answers form a more complete health check report.
If the earnings continue to exceed expectations, the AI chain can catch a breath; if only revenue looks good but profit and order quality don't keep up, the market will immediately start to nitpick.
Honestly, AI trading has passed the stage of "rising just because there's a story." Now every company has to do its homework: whoever can turn compute hunger into cash flow will stay; those who only talk about the future will have their valuations harshly corrected.
