First, SK Hynix pushed 24.07 million shares onto the board, betting on a sacrifice: 40 trillion KRW is not an expense, but an added permanently mobile pawn chain for the opponent's camp. On Samsung's side, the 9.8 trillion annual dividend is just a routine king-side castling; the real killer move is hidden in the phrase "50% return on cumulative FCF over three years"—that's the promotion tactic buried in the rear pawn formation.
Where is the game? The middle game. AI memory demand is like a pawn advancing straight down the file, its speed changing the entire board's valuation coordinates. Market rumors say Samsung holds a plan worth hundreds of trillions, but the official line is "under review, no set timeline." A grandmaster hears this as: before the real move, he has already chosen his straight flush in the endgame.
Amateurs ask: "Can cash flow simultaneously feed expansion and returns?" Professionals only watch the clock and ask another question: who will transform first in this move?
SK Hynix chooses this moment to cancel capital stock, like actively exchanging the queen in the center, simplifying the board into a king-and-pawn endgame with mutual restrictions; Samsung refuses to reveal its bottom cards, using two bishops to guard two diagonals, luring the opponent's pawns past the fourth rank before counter-capturing. Cash flow is equivalent to initiative: if you don't stack it into offense, it becomes a lone rear pawn you must constantly defend.
And the AI storage board always has only sixty-four squares. The two giants suppress each other on the same pawn chain; one raises its valuation through buybacks, the other stabilizes the king's castle with dividends. Capital only watches who checkmates first. If that hundred-trillion plan is real, it's Samsung's long check cycle; if just a rumor, SK Hynix's sacrificed piece will become a textbook example. Professionals don't predict; they only choose in which endgame to finish.
Samsung is still thinking long. But thinking long is not waiting.
Those afraid to die open with a pawn move; those who will win blindly reach for the pawn about to promote. #SamsungToFollowHynix The barricades still hang the sign "Hot-selling Global Assets," but the safes in the underground vault have already started to pull back—the foreign official institutions added 16 billion to the Fed's foreign reverse repo pool within a week, pushing the total to 373 billion, the highest level since October 2022. This skyscraper called the "Global Financial System" is undergoing a visibly noticeable load transfer. Structural engineers know well that the most dangerous signal in inspection reports is never the swaying of the wind but a sudden change in the moisture content of the foundation soil.
This 56 billion USD is like an undercurrent flushed out from your home's toilet, not flowing into anyone's renovation budget. The foreign reverse repo tool is a settlement observation point only understood by the Fed's forty-year-old supervisors. International major owners who don't buy US bonds, don't dismantle physical projects, and don't increase holdings in money market funds, but put money intact into the reverse repo cement tank, are telling the market: "Brothers, I'm not starting construction; your tower cranes on the site can spin freely, but my money is going back to the safe vault to chill with the air conditioning."
Builders call this a "structural shift in capital risk aversion." The global USD liquidity construction site has underground pipelines more intricate than the blueprints. When the FIMA reverse repo pool doesn't rise, those dollars are working as labor and building materials elsewhere; now, adding 56 billion back in a week means the safety cushion of the entire peripheral market has been pulled away by three inches. Look at those so-called "strong stocks" and "tokenized US equity" K-lines still drawing beautiful load-bearing column patterns, but their reinforcement ratios are quietly being downgraded.
Some will tell you "this is just cash reallocation by foreign official institutions, not affecting US domestic liquidity," which is like a construction foreman explaining to the owner why the rebar spacing exceeds the code. The Fed's balance sheet of over 30 trillion and nearly 400 billion in reverse repo balances are like the lateral pressure on your basement's retaining wall—it doesn't care which side the wall faces, only whether water has entered the soil inside. Where the money flows out from, and under what name it is deposited, affects the equivalent seismic rating of the entire risk asset.
For targets like $xAMZN, watching its daily chart is like standing on an unfinished floor looking at the skyline: a panoramic view of urban sentiment. But we builders don't look at the curtain wall reflections; on rainy days, we touch the moisture of the load-bearing walls. That 56 billion is the first rain. When the basement water level rises, all projects claiming "deep foundations" must re-enter the site for pile foundation testing. Foreign central banks' USD cash is the world's most sensitive design reviewer; they pull funds back from all other options and stack them in the Fed's steel-reinforced safe—translated into engineering language, this action is a "design change": the reinforcement acceptance of peripheral assets was downgraded by one seismic intensity overnight.
So don't just look at the brightly lit tower cranes above ground; look at how much force the underground anchor plates are bearing. The 373 billion reverse repo balance is not observation data; it is water poured into the settlement box of the entire building. The water level is still rising.
#ImpactCycle·Monthly #MacroLiquidity·ForeignRRP #$3,730B·TwoWeeks+$56B #fearandgreedindex$ENA surged significantly today. Many people might wonder why this coin is rising so sharply. Essentially, it's because the crypto market is currently on the rise. $ENA earns funding fees; when the market is good, shorts pay higher fees, and when the market is weak, shorts pay lower fees. If you believe the market will continue to rise, you can definitely chase this coin higher. If you think the market won't continue to rise, then chasing it now is not a very wise move. —————————————————— Let's look at its contract data. We can see that its open interest is continuously increasing, but the long-short ratio is steadily decreasing. This means that currently, a large amount of capital is shorting. Looking at a longer timeframe, we find that the long-short ratio has dropped to a very low bottom, while open interest has risen to a very high level. This indicates that the market sentiment is dominated by shorts at the moment. Under these circumstances, chasing higher is not recommended. —————————————————— I don't want to chase $ENA higher. There are two reasons. One is that I don't believe the market will keep rising, and the other is that the current market sentiment is bearish. I also don't want to short this coin because it hasn't risen much at all—only about twenty to thirty points from the bottom to this level. Shorting wouldn't yield much profit.我坚定持有 $UNI 和 $AAVE —— 逢低买入，一路拿到牛市到来，目标至少是 50 到 100 倍的回报。这是我人生翻盘的最后一个机会，我必须管住手，管住手，再管住手。如果这次再错过这个确定性极高的机会，这辈子可能就真的没有下一次了。我要稳住心态，绝不能被熊市的恐慌吓跑，半途而废。 这段表态在散户圈里很有代表性，但作为市场观察者，我们得冷静拆解一下。首先，50 到 100 倍的预期建立在“牛市必然到来”且“选中的代币能跑赢大盘”的双重假设上。历史数据显示，像 UNI 和 AAVE 这样的蓝筹 DeFi 协议，在上轮牛市中确实有过数十倍的涨幅，但那是从极低市值起步，且伴随整个生态的爆发式增长。当前它们的市值基数已经大了不少，要重现同样的倍数，难度呈几何级数上升。 其次，“逢低买入”听起来简单，执行起来却极其考验纪律。真正的底部往往是事后才知道的，抄底抄在半山腰是常态。这位投资者反复强调“管住手”，恰恰说明情绪管理是最大的敌人。熊市里的每一次反弹都可能像陷阱，每一次暴跌都可能是黄金坑，没有一套基于基本面和风险承受能力的策略，单靠意志力硬扛，很容易在黎明前倒下。 从基本面看，UNI 和In my view, the most noteworthy news about Nvidia recently isn't how many chips it has sold, but that it is trying to transform "computing power" into a type of infrastructure asset that Wall Street is willing to finance long-term. If this change really works, NVIDIA will not only be a device supplier but will increasingly act as one of the designers of the entire AI capital expenditure cycle. On August 10, NVIDIA announced it would establish an independent computing power financing platform with Apollo, BlackRock, Blackstone, Brookfield, Goldman Sachs, and KKR, aiming to gradually mobilize over $500 billion in third-party capital in the future to build AI infrastructure. Let's clarify the most easily misunderstood point: this is not the $500 billion already credited to Nvidia's account, nor is it the confirmed sales revenue. The official statement is that multiple platforms "mobilize" capital in the future, and each specific project still requires independent evaluation by the financier for customers, utilization, cash flow, and residual value. My judgment is that this arrangement truly addresses the payment methods for AI data centers. In the past, clients had to first invest huge amounts of capital to purchase servers, land, electricity, and cooling systems; If computing power equipment can be packaged as assets with long-term contracts and predictable usage fees, like airplanes, logistics warehouses, or energy projects, builders can split large one-off expenditures into longer-term financing. Lowering the financing threshold will allow more projects to start earlier, and may also be delayedThe four-year cycle investment logic of Bitcoin is actually very simple
Prepare some money you don't need, buy BTC 500 days before each halving, and then sell 500 days after the BTC halving.
Repeat this, and your assets can multiply about 5 times every four years.
Don't underestimate this 5x; compared to real-world physical industries, it's already very good.
$BTC
From a technical perspective, the 200-week MA of $BTC can be simply understood as BTC's intrinsic value. This value was still 58,000 in February, and now at the end of July, it has reached 63,500, an increase of about 10%. Does this mean the risk of missing out at 52,000 is increasing? So I suggest retail investors do dollar-cost averaging.
#BTC加速拉升，资金还能继续接力吗？ Anthropic’s IPO case appears to rest on a sharp tension: rapidly scaling enterprise demand versus the economics of supplying compute-intensive AI. Preliminary Q2 revenue above $11.5B and positive adjusted operating profit strengthen the operating narrative, but a projected 2025 net loss near $42B keeps cash efficiency central.
A raise rivaling SpaceX’s record would imply investors are underwriting durable margin expansion, not revenue growth alone. The decisive evidence will be whether enterprise monetization can outpace compute costs as scale rises. Not advice, just analysis.

#DailyOrbit I doubted 72,000 yesterday, and today BTC stands above 75,000: this time I should admit I was wrong
Yesterday, I took the volume contraction near 72,000 as bearish evidence. Today BTC has reached 75,413, up 8.37% in 24 hours, and I was slow in judging the direction.
But the volume-price divergence still exists: the current trading volume has shrunk by 33.8% compared to the previous window, and the funding rate is only +0.0061%. I will downgrade "volume contraction" from a veto factor to a warning; as long as BTC can continue to hold above 75,000, this breakout should no longer be blocked by old logic.
Would you now reclassify this as a true breakout, or continue to wait for volume? Just give one condition that would make you change your judgment.

#OKX星球 #BTC #BTC accelerating its rise, can the funds continue to take over?
Has the bull market really returned? In my view, it has. BTC and ETH have already reversed the three-stage weekly downtrend. From a macro perspective, although US inflation is still above the 2% target, it has significantly declined compared to before. The US-Iran war has also entered the final bickering phase. The strong rally in the market at this time directly reverses the downtrend, paving the way for the upcoming rate cut cycle. Unless a black swan event occurs, the probability of a continued downtrend is almost zero. Around 60,000 is likely the bottom range for this cycle. Looking back at historical trends, before the 2024 US midterm elections, BTC also took off strongly from around 68,000, with almost no pullback, rising directly to about 100,000. The current stage is somewhat similar, but this does not mean chasing highs at this position. This is just the initial sign. Whether it will truly follow the prediction remains to be seen. What can be confirmed is that the downtrend has been reversed, but the rise is not a straight line. There will still be aftershocks. If it rises too much in a short time, a pullback is certain. You need to catch the point where the upward momentum weakens, not just when it has risen by a certain amount and should fall. For a pullback, 68,000-70,000 is a very critical zone. Overall, the mindset of shorting every small rise in a bear market needs to shift. Buying low-leverage long positions on dips might be more appropriate. $BTC 📊 $OKB Contract Liquidation Express (August 21)
Bulls and bears completed a strong-weak reversal within 4 hours; bears controlled the market for 12 hours but momentum collapsed; bears had a second outbreak at 24 hours establishing full suppression, with cumulative liquidations exceeding $100,000...
Time Total Liquidations Long Liquidations Short Liquidations
1 hour $10.61 $10.61 $0
4 hours $11,500 $10.61 $11,500
12 hours $14,200 $1,608.67 $12,600
24 hours $100,300 $2,185.52 $98,100
From the OKB liquidation data: bulls monopolized the market in 1 hour with zero short liquidations and a tiny volume of only $10.61 as a probe; at 4 hours the direction completely reversed, short liquidations crushed longs, shorts were 1083 times longs, liquidation volume surged to $11,500, shorts took over the game with an extreme posture; at 12 hours the short multiple collapsed to only a 7.8x advantage, liquidation volume slightly rose to $12,600, short momentum sharply declined; at 24 hours shorts had a second outbreak with $98,100 short liquidations versus $2,200 long, shorts were 44.9 times longs, cumulative liquidations broke $100,000. The 12-hour liquidations accounted for 14.2% of the 24-hour total, showing very low concentration—new liquidations in the last 12 hours reached $86,100, with shorts completing a full harvest in the latter half of 24 hours with overwhelming force. The short dominance ratio crashed from an extreme 1083x at 4 hours to 7.8x at 12 hours, then rebounded to 44.9x at 24 hours, showing a "V-shaped reversal" in short squeeze momentum; after intense shakeout, shorts re-exploded with stronger posture, establishing absolute dominance over 24 hours. Leverage is recommended to be compressed to within 3x; do not blindly chase shorts.
🔥 Market Indicator | August 21
Three hot topics today point to the same theme: capital is simultaneously seeking new pricing anchors in three different tracks—whether Bitcoin's short squeeze can turn into a bull market, whether Anthropic's trillion-dollar valuation can sustain the AI bubble, and whether Pop Mart's IP iteration can transcend cycles.
₿ BTC Accelerates Rally: $3.3 Billion Shorts Vaporized, But Short Squeeze Momentum Is Fading
Bitcoin rose over 14% in two days, breaking $73,000. Over $3 billion in leveraged positions were liquidated in the past 24 hours.
However, market data shows new leveraged long funds have not yet entered on a large scale. This rally is still mainly driven by short covering; perpetual futures open interest has not significantly rebounded. Whether Bitcoin can continue higher increasingly depends on spot buying and ETF inflows taking over. On the 19th, the US Bitcoin spot ETF had a single-day net inflow of $517 million, but ETF investors’ average cost is about $82,465, still overall at a loss. After the short squeeze, the real test is just beginning.
🤖 Anthropic Plans to File IPO Documents by End of August: Fundraising May Surpass SpaceX, Valuation Targets $1.5-2 Trillion
Insiders reveal Anthropic expects to publicly submit IPO documents as early as the end of August, with fundraising possibly matching or exceeding SpaceX’s record $75-86.2 billion, targeting a valuation of $1.5-2 trillion.
In May this year, Anthropic completed a $65 billion financing round with a valuation of $965 billion, surpassing OpenAI’s $852 billion. By the end of July, annualized revenue exceeded $65 billion.
Founded only five years ago, aiming for the largest IPO in history. When the secondary market prices it at $2 trillion, the market is betting not on current profits but on AI’s complete restructuring of the enterprise market.
🎨 Pop Mart Half-Year Report: LABUBU Still First, Star People Soar 580% to Take Over
On August 20, Pop Mart released its 2026 half-year report: revenue of 17.17 billion yuan, up 23.8% year-on-year; adjusted net profit of 5.16 billion yuan, up 9.5%; gross margin 69.7%. However, revenue was below market expectations of 19.98 billion yuan.
IP landscape is undergoing drastic restructuring. THE MONSTERS series featuring LABUBU generated 4.45 billion yuan, still first; new IP "Star People" revenue surged 580.6% year-on-year to 2.65 billion yuan, becoming the second largest IP. Plush product line has become the largest growth engine with revenue of 9.82 billion yuan, accounting for 57.2%. The board announced a first buyback plan of 2 to 5 billion yuan. LABUBU slows down, Star People takes over—the lifecycle management of IP is undergoing its toughest test.
💎 Summary
Three events sketch the same picture: after Bitcoin’s $3.3 billion short squeeze, whether it can attract real spot buying is key; OKB contract market short dominance ratio crashed from an extreme 1083x to 7.8x then rebounded to 44.9x with cumulative liquidations exceeding $100,000, shorts re-exploded with stronger posture after intense shakeout establishing absolute dominance; Anthropic’s $2 trillion valuation challenges the largest IPO in history, redefining the limits of the AI bubble; Pop Mart’s LABUBU slows while Star People surges 580%, IP transition continues. Capital is seeking direction simultaneously in three tracks—when the short squeeze fades, IPO volume peaks, and IP shifts gears, who will be the true successor? #BTC加速拉升，资金还能继续接力吗？
#Anthropic拟8月底公开IPO文件，募资或追平SpaceX
#财报观察员：泡泡玛特增长换挡，多IP能否接力？ $BTC This live chart completely exposed my trading habits. I set three take-profit levels: 75,500, 75,730, and 76,180, but I didn't set stop-loss at any of them. The only price that can close this trade is the estimated strong moving average near 73,759. In other words, I seriously planned where I should make money, but never really planned it: if I misjudged, I was willing to give up where I was. I keep telling myself that short-term losses are highly volatile, and normal stop-losses are easily swept away by inserted needles; As long as the major trend is not broken, and the price has not touched the strong moving average, the floating loss is only temporary. But the more real reason might be: I can't accept forced liquidation, but rather can't accept proactive stop-losses. Taking the initiative to stop loss means I have to admit that this trade was wrong; Qiangping, on the other hand, seemed to have made decisions for me by the market. The former requires facing misjudgments, while the latter can blame failure on market trends, pin insertion, and luck. So, I'd rather take the risk of losing the entire position than suffer a small, controllable loss. This is not courage, but rather packaging "unwillingness to admit mistakes" as "ability to withstand fluctuations." This time, the market pulled back from 75,770, and my position repeatedly broke below several short-term support points, with deep losses at one point. Now the price has returned to around 75,188, almost breaking even. From this, it's easy to conclude: See, not setting stop-losses is the right move. As long as you hold on, the price will eventually come back. But this may be the most dangerous outcome of this trade. A mistaken handoverUSDT doesn’t win because it beats every stablecoin on every trade.
It wins because traders already have it sitting on the exchange.
That’s the bigger story with USD1.
Aster just listed a SpaceX perp alongside gold, oil, SanDisk, and SK Hynix — all priced and settled in USD1.
And honestly, SpaceX might not even be the most important part.
The real game is becoming the stablecoin traders keep ready.
Because you don’t want to buy a stablecoin before every trade.
#DailyOrbit Today's Bitcoin Key Analysis: BTC Breaks Through $75,000, How Much Higher Can It Go Next?
August 21 BTC Market Key Forecast
But it should be noted: the faster the rise, the greater the short-term correction risk.
This rally is not just a simple technical rebound.
Recently, the U.S. Treasury increased the scale of long-term bond repurchases, raising market expectations for improved liquidity. At the same time, the U.S. has released more positive signals on crypto regulation, all of which have jointly improved the risk asset environment.
Additionally, this rally has been accompanied by a large number of short liquidations. In the past 24 hours, the crypto market has seen over $1 billion in liquidations, with shorts accounting for the vast majority.
This is significant. Currently, BTC's rise is driven by a combination of "fundamental improvement + capital push + short squeeze."
$75,000 is the most important level today.
What the market needs to focus on now is not whether BTC can continue to rise, but whether BTC can hold above $75,000.
If the price can form effective support above $75,000, the market will further convert $75,000 from a "resistance level" into a "support level."
In this case: the first target is $78,000, and if $78,000 is broken further,
the second target is $80,000–$82,000.
If market sentiment remains extremely strong, testing near $85,000 cannot be ruled out. Bitcoin just had a week that restored bulls' confidence: from the accumulation zone of $62K–$67K, BTC surged to $73,050, up about 15% in 7 days. But the important question is not how much Bitcoin has risen, but whether this inflow of funds is strong enough to turn the breakout into a sustainable uptrend? The current answer is still uncertain. The crypto market is caught between four opposing forces: the Fed, geopolitics, AI, and US crypto policy. Just one of these variables reversing could change the market structure t#BTC accelerates its rally, can the funds continue to take over?
The truth behind this round of rally: it's not that the bulls are too strong, but that the shorts are too crowded.
On August 21, $BTC strongly broke through $75,000, with a cumulative increase of nearly 20% this week. In the past 48 hours, over 180,000 liquidations occurred across the network, with a total liquidation amount reaching $3.264 billion, and short liquidations accounting for more than 90%.
But amid the frenzy, a core question emerges: after the "fuel" of short liquidations is burned out, who will take over?
Fund takeover: there are signals, but not strong enough yet
On August 19, the US spot Bitcoin ETF saw a single-day net inflow of $517 million, hitting a three-month high. On-chain data shows that in the past 60 days, whales have net increased their holdings by about 43,000 bitcoins, with long-term holders controlling 83% of the supply, the highest proportion since December 2023.
But concerns are also obvious. The open interest of perpetual contracts has not significantly rebounded, and new leveraged long funds have not entered on a large scale. As analyst Adam McCarthy said: "The fuel has been burned out; the next leg up must rely on active buying rather than a short squeeze."
My judgment: $75,800 is the real decisive point
Glassnode data shows that about $75,800 is the cost basis for a broader range of active investors, and breaking this level is stronger evidence of market improvement. Analyst Ali Charts believes that if $75,733 is broken, the next major supply concentration zone is between $83,307 and $84,569.
But the $80,000–$82,500 range will be the real tough battle, as this area will face significant selling pressure from positions being freed up.
What to watch next?
First, the sustainability of ETF fund inflows. Second, the Jackson Hole Global Central Bank Annual Meeting from August 27 to 29. Third, progress on the CLARITY Act.
In conclusion
The US Treasury’s move ignited the short squeeze rally, but it cannot decide how long the fire will burn. If $75,800 is effectively broken, it means this rally is not just "killing shorts" but that new funds are officially entering; if it is resisted and falls back, then this $3.2 billion short liquidation wave is just another short squeeze rebound destined to be given back.
The direction depends on how this key level behaves in the coming weeks. 218 million short positions with an unrealized loss of $877,000 — “Set 10 big targets first” continues to add positions at $74,700, betting on Bitcoin topping out
💥 1. Position Overview: $218 million short, BTC short average entry price $74,746
On August 21, on-chain analyst Ai Yi monitored that “Set 10 big targets first” added another 1,000 BTC, updating the total position to $218 million, currently with an unrealized loss of $877,000.
Specific position structure:
· BTC 5x short: 2,449.968 BTC, valued at $183 million, average entry price $74,746.1
· ETH 7x short: 15,000 ETH, valued at $35.21 million, average entry price $2,347.89
Based on the current BTC price around $72,000–73,000, the BTC short position has an unrealized loss of about $4.3–6.7 million. However, the news states a total unrealized loss of $877,000, implying that the BTC short losses are partially hedged by other positions or margin structures.
🔥 2. Review: From “tens of millions in unrealized profit” to “unrealized loss with added positions,” what has he experienced?
This whale’s shorting journey is a highly representative leveraged narrative:
Phase 1 (June–July): Repeated attempts to short BTC in the $64,000–66,000 range. On June 19, closed 3,173.6 BTC shorts, netting about $9.467 million profit in a single trade. Afterwards, shorting space was continuously squeezed, and after BTC rebounded to $62,000–64,000 in August, losses expanded.
Phase 2 (early August): On August 10, held 1,742 BTC shorts ($110 million), average entry price about $63,709, with an unrealized profit of $292,000. After three stop losses on August 14, added 330 BTC shorts, raising the average short price to $63,700.
Phase 3 (August 21): After BTC broke through $70,000, he added another 1,000 BTC shorts, pushing total position to 2,449 BTC, average entry price $74,746 — this is the fifth or sixth time adding positions in nearly half a year.
He previously publicly stated: “You can stay out, you can be wrong, but refuse any probability of being taken out by a single wave.” But as unrealized losses expand to $877,000, this statement is undergoing its toughest test.
📈 3. The opposing forces: Who says the bull market is back?
The whale chose to add positions at $74,700, betting Bitcoin tops at this level. But the opposing side is extremely strong:
1. Technical: Golden cross is about to form, BTC above 200-day moving average
BTC price has broken above $71,000, firmly above the 200-day moving average at $69,000. The 50-day moving average is about $63,976, 200-day about $69,005, with a golden cross approaching. Analyst Yi Lihua wrote: “BTC has officially ended the bear market trend, and is bullish for the next two weeks.”
2. Macro: US Treasury repo implemented, risk appetite improves
The US Treasury announced an expansion of long-term Treasury repos, with 30-year Treasury yields falling from above 5.3%. Macro strategist Mark Connors even predicts that if repos expand to $10–30 billion monthly, BTC could surge to $180,000.
3. Institutional inflows continue
On August 19, Bitcoin ETFs saw net inflows of $517 million, Ethereum ETFs $189 million, totaling over $700 million. BIT withdrew 894.72 BTC from Binance, valued at $61.93 million.
4. Coinbase CEO calls for $400,000
Brian Armstrong publicly predicted BTC could rise to $300,000–400,000 before 2030, stating the industry is “preparing to push the CLARITY Act over the finish line.”
📉 4. Key levels: The “life and death line” for shorts
BTC shorts: average entry price $74,746, 5x leverage. If BTC continues to rise to $75,500–76,000, unrealized losses could expand to $3–5 million. The liquidation price depends on margin rate — this position has had multiple margin additions, so the safety buffer is relatively thick, but continuous adding means the shorts’ confidence is stronger, and the risk is greater.
ETH shorts: average entry price $2,347, 7x leverage. If ETH breaks $2,400–2,450, ETH shorts will face greater liquidation pressure.
💎 5. Summary
“Set 10 big targets first” started shorting in June, from $64,000 all the way to $74,700. Five times adding positions, $218 million position, unrealized loss of $877,000 — this is his largest bet in his shorting career.
His shorting logic is not without reason: BTC’s rebound from $62,500 to $71,000 shows technical overbought signals; Glassnode on-chain data shows sellers are not exhausted, Coinbase premium remains negative; CZ stated at SALT conference that “the market is still in a bear phase.” But the market doesn’t care about “logic” — it only cares about whose money runs out first.
If BTC continues to rise to $75,000–76,000, he will face greater unrealized losses. If BTC starts to pull back, he will become the most accurate “contrarian indicator.” The answer is not in his position, but in the market’s direction.
$BTC This round of BTC rise seems like a price breakout
but is actually the result of three core forces pushing simultaneously
First, the U.S. Treasury plans to expand long-term government bond repurchases
The market interprets this as a marginal improvement in liquidity
The weakening of the U.S. dollar index benefits risk assets collectively
Second, on August 19, U.S. spot ETFs saw net inflows of about $517 million
BlackRock's IBIT contributed $285 million in spot funds, clearly indicating capital inflow
Third, in the past 24 hours, the entire market liquidated over $3.2 billion
A large number of short positions were continuously swept out, creating a typical short squeeze scenario. Surpassing SpaceX? Anthropic might create the largest IPO in history. How much does the capital market really believe in the future of AI?
Anthropic's current story is quite exaggerated:
Revenue is exploding, with annualized income already reaching the hundreds of billions of dollars level; but on the other hand, losses are also rapidly expanding.
In simple terms: AI is really starting to make money, but AI is also burning through cash.
Training models requires computing power, computing power requires data centers, and data centers require chips, electricity, and huge capital.
So if Anthropic really enters the public market with a mega IPO, in a sense, it’s not just a company going public, but the capital market continuing to vote for the entire AI industry chain.
The problem lies exactly here: Can AI’s revenue growth ultimately outpace the growth of computing power costs?
If yes, the valuations that seem exaggerated today might just be the starting point in the future.
If not, then all the current crazy capital investments might end up being an expensive bet on expectations.
So what I care about more is not whether Anthropic can surpass SpaceX to become the largest IPO in history.
But how much money the capital market is willing to bet on the future of AI.
This might be the most worth-watching IPO in 2026. #Anthropic拟8月底公开IPO文件，募资或追平SpaceX @OKX星球 $ANTHROPIC $SPCX In three days, BTC surged from $64,000 to over $75,000, with a weekly increase exceeding 20%. The intensity and speed of this rally are rare in the crypto market over the past two years. The key question is—can this really be considered the foundation of a bull market?
Three major drivers of the rise
First, a substantial policy shift occurred. On August 19, Trump met with crypto industry executives from Coinbase, Ripple, and others at the White House, publicly stating that the U.S. government has discussed accumulating a "significant amount" of Bitcoin. He also urged Congress to quickly pass the CLARITY Act, which the market interpreted as the White House shifting its stance on crypto from "regulatory suppression" to "policy support." For a crypto market long troubled by regulatory uncertainty, presidential-level endorsement itself is a strong confidence booster.
Second, the liquidity environment suddenly improved. On the same day, U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen announced raising the repo operation cap for 10- to 30-year Treasury bonds from $2 billion per operation to at least $4 billion. This move directly lowered long-term Treasury yields—which had previously spiked to a multi-year high of 5.34% for the 30-year bond. The yield decline means the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets like Bitcoin decreases, increasing the appeal of risk assets. A Standard Chartered strategist bluntly called this "Bitcoin's favorite policy mix."
Third, a short squeeze triggered a chain reaction. This is actually the most critical of the three points. Bitcoin had been oscillating around $60,000 for the past six months, with massive leveraged short positions accumulating in the derivatives market. When the price broke through a key liquidation-heavy zone, a large number of shorts were forcibly closed—on August 19 alone, about $1.1 to $1.4 billion in shorts were liquidated, with global liquidations exceeding $3 billion within 24 hours, and nearly 200,000 traders liquidated. Short covering requires buying Bitcoin, and passive buying pushed prices higher, triggering the next wave of liquidations—forming a classic short squeeze positive feedback loop.
New Fire Research Institute's assessment is precise: this is not a single news-driven stimulus but a concentrated price release caused by a crowded short structure meeting multiple catalysts—regulatory tailwinds, falling long-term rates, and cross-sector capital inflows.
Has the foundation for a bull market been laid?
The divide between optimists and cautious observers centers on this question.
Optimistic signals are indeed accumulating. ETFs have seen large net inflows for three consecutive days, reaching $517 million on August 19, a three-and-a-half-month high. More importantly, CryptoQuant's "apparent demand" indicator turned positive for the first time since February, ending six months of net selling pressure. Bitcoin's market dominance rose to 58.87%, indicating this rally is led by Bitcoin, with funds showing signs of concentrating in mainstream coins. Standard Chartered maintains a year-end target of $100,000, and some strategists even call for a longer-term target of $180,000.
But the cautious reasons are equally solid.
First, the core driver of this rally is leverage, not spot buying. After $3 billion in shorts were liquidated, the power of passive buying is rapidly fading. Whether prices can hold depends on whether spot buying and ETF funds can take over the baton. MEXC Research's chief analyst bluntly said the Treasury's move is more like "opening a pressure valve" rather than a fundamental shift in the financial environment; BTC reclaiming $70,000 "still seems premature."
Second, there is no consensus within institutions. Standard Chartered is bullish, but CZ and VanEck believe the market has not bottomed, and Glassnode emphasizes the current rebound is only a local bounce. Glassnode's logic is solid: short-term holder cost is about $68,500, below the market average, with most holders still at unrealized losses; the 90-day realized profit-loss ratio is only 0.75, far from the threshold confirming a trend reversal.
Third, the policy tailwind has a time window. The Treasury's repo plan is explicitly set from September 9 to November 4, so the liquidity boost has an expiration date. Some analysts warn that if there is no substantial progress on the CLARITY Act before September 15, a short-term pullback risk may arise.
Three variables to watch next
First, whether ETF net inflows can continue. A single-day $500 million inflow looks good, but if subsequent volumes shrink or turn negative, it means institutional funds have not truly entered to support the market.
Second, whether BTC can hold above $75,000 and effectively break past its all-time high. If it just spikes and quickly falls back, that’s a typical false breakout with bulls forced to catch the falling knife.
Third, the progress of policy implementation in September. The actual execution of repo operations and the review progress of the CLARITY Act are key variables determining whether this rally can upgrade from a rebound to a sustained trend.
A $10,000 rise in three days is indeed fierce, with market sentiment jumping from fear to greed, and the intensity of the short squeeze setting records. But this feels more like a bull market rehearsal—the signals have appeared, but the foundation is not yet fully solidified. In the coming weeks, whether spot buying can hold, policies can be implemented, and overbought conditions can be digested through pullbacks will be the core variables truly deciding if the bull market returns. After a sharp rise, a pullback is inevitable; waiting for the pullback to stabilize before going long is much safer than chasing the high.
#BTC加速拉升，资金还能继续接力吗？ BTC touching above 75000 has already exceeded expectations
The weekly candle closed with the strongest bullish candle in nearly a year
So it needs to be taken seriously
Currently, there are only two possibilities
Either a new round of trend uptrend has started
Or it’s a pump to sweep all short stop losses before turning down
There was no significant negative funding rate before this rise
Lacking signals of concentrated short accumulation
The volume shrank and the rise was driven entirely by short covering
With the closing fuel exhausted and no incremental funds to take over
Operationally, it’s still best not to chase the high
If you want to go long, wait for a pullback to 72200 before entering long positions
Currently, it’s a main wave one-sided market
Even if bearish, don’t heavily short with forceBTC is accelerating its rally, can the funds continue to take over?
My view: They can, but the short-term has already shifted from "fund-driven rise" to a stage that "requires continuous fund validation."
In the past two days, BTC quickly surged from around $63,000, once breaking through $72,000, with a very rapid increase. Meanwhile, the US stock spot BTC ETF saw a single-day net inflow of about $517 million, the largest single-day inflow since May, indicating this is not purely a sentiment-driven market. 
But here is a core issue to note:
ETF funds returning does not mean high-level funds will indefinitely keep taking over.
There are three important signals now:
First, shorts have been largely cleared.
During this rally, there were short liquidations exceeding tens of billions of dollars, and the short squeeze itself provided BTC with very strong acceleration. 
So the first half of the rise was mainly:
Short covering → Passive buying → Breaking resistance → More short stop-losses.
This phase is very prone to fast gains.
But the question is:
After most shorts are cleared, who will continue to buy?
This depends on spot funds.
⸻
Second, ETF funds are starting to take the "baton."
This is the most noteworthy change currently.
BTC ETFs have already shown continuous fund recovery, recently reaching about $517 million in a single day. 
This means the market is trying to shift from:
"Short squeeze market"
to:
"Spot fund relay market."
If ETFs continue to maintain net inflows, then after BTC breaks through 72,000, continuing to challenge 75,000—78,000 is reasonable.
⸻
Third, rising too fast is itself a risk.
BTC’s gains over the past few trading days have been very large, clearly entering a short-term ultra-strong state.
The biggest taboo now is:
ETF inflows not continuing to expand, but prices keep crazily rising.
That indicates marginal buying is starting to be insufficient.
Especially after breaking 72,000, if there is:
Price hitting new highs, but volume declining, ETF inflows dropping, and funding rates heating up rapidly
Be cautious of crowding among bulls.
⸻
Therefore, I now pay more attention to "pullbacks."
If BTC next shows:
72,000 → Pullback to 70,000—72,000 → No break → ETF continues inflow → Volume expands again
This is the healthiest trend.
Because this means:
72,000 turns from resistance into support.
In this case, the outlook for:
75,000 → 78,000 → 80,000
will be more confident.
But if it is:
72,000 breaks → Continues to surge rapidly → ETF funds can’t keep up → Quickly falls back below 70,000
Then beware that this rally might revert to profit-taking after the short squeeze.
⸻
My judgment on this rally:
Currently, I still lean toward the uptrend not being over.
But the pace of the rise may start to change:
First half: Short squeeze driven.
Now: Needs spot funds to take over.
Second half: Whether it becomes a trending market depends on whether ETFs can sustain inflows.
So the most important thing going forward is not guessing if BTC can reach 80,000, but watching three indicators:
Whether ETF net inflows continue
Whether 72,000 can turn into support
Whether volume expands synchronously during the rise
If all three conditions are met, this rally still has room.
If only price rises but funds don’t follow, the higher it goes, the greater the risk.
In short: Shorts can push BTC up to 72,000, but only sustained spot funds can push BTC to 80,000. The real test is just beginning. $BTC #BTC加速拉升，资金还能继续接力吗？ $BTC For the first trade, I completed my position near 74,500, then closed the position in two batches, achieving profits of 84.57U and 24.84U, totaling 109.41U. From the outcome, it was a good deal. But looking back now, the seeds of the second scam were actually planted during the first profit. The most dangerous moment in trading isn't necessarily a series of losses; it might actually be right after you make money. Losses make people cautious, but profits can easily create the illusion that the market doesn't exactly match your strategy, but that you already understand the market. On my first trade, I was willing to wait for the price, for the structure, for the market to give an answer; After my first profit, I started to fear being short in positions, afraid of missing the next rally, and even subconsciously believed that the money I just made could be earned again. So, the second trade was no longer about entering after market opportunities appeared, but rather about wanting to enter and then looking for reasons in the market. The 4-hour trend is upward, the 1-hour structure remains intact, and the 15-minute low is still rising—these judgments are not wrong, but I use the excuse of "bullish on major levels" to justify "early entry in minor levels." A bullish trend does not mean you can buy at every position; The right direction can't make up for the wrong entrance rhythm. The first was waiting for the market, the second was asking for the market. Even more ironically, I had no patience before entering, but after the losses, I suddenly became "patient." When it's time to wait for confirmation, I'm afraid of missing out; When it's time to face mistakes, I tell myself again$BTC/Nasdaq ratio rebounds to the critical resistance level of 3.0. The core contradiction lies in whether crypto assets passively follow the volatility of US tech stocks or regain the ability to independently attract cross-market capital.
After a 64% retracement from the 2025 high, the ratio has rebounded about 15%, reaching the 3.0 level, indicating that the relative strength of $BTC against the Nasdaq has entered a key inflection point. Below 3.0 means liquidity premium is controlled by tech stocks, and structural capital reallocation to crypto has not yet formed.
In terms of driving factors priority, changes in Federal Reserve interest rate expectations and US Treasury yield trends rank first, followed by the transmission of liquidity risk from high-level US stock corrections, and lastly the degree of leverage clearing within the crypto market. If the US dollar index strengthens during the Nasdaq's high-level consolidation, cross-market liquidity will prioritize contraction into traditional risk-free assets.
The bullish scenario requires the $BTC/Nasdaq ratio to break out with volume and hold above 3.0. If this is accompanied by a weakening US dollar index and rotation of US stock capital into high-beta assets, $BTC will confirm its detachment from the US stock dependency, opening an independent upward attack channel; if the ratio falls back below 2.85, the bullish thesis is invalidated.
The bearish scenario is set as the ratio being capped by the 3.0 resistance and experiencing a secondary decline. If the Nasdaq corrects due to sustained high interest rates or disappointing earnings, and $BTC follows down with a larger drop, the ratio will probe downward again, confirming that crypto assets have not yet regained market pricing dominance.
The invalidation condition for this cross-market rotation is when gold and US Treasuries rise during a US stock correction while $BTC simultaneously falls. This means both safe-haven and risk capital are squeezed out of the crypto market, causing the rebound to stall at the 3.0 threshold.
In the next 7 days, close attention should be paid to the volatility changes of the Nasdaq index at critical levels, and whether $BTC can maintain relative strength and surpass the 3.0 resistance during US stock consolidation.
#ETH强势拉升，空头清算超11亿美元 #银行业支持CLARITY，稳定币奖励成争议$BTC broke through 72,000, this wave is really different
As soon as the market opened, BTC had already reached 72,000, rising nearly 12% in 24 hours, reaching a high near 73880. A few days ago, I was still talking about whether 70,000 could stand firm, but now I'm directly heading towards 74,000. The speed is indeed a bit fast.
The pace of this rise is obviously different from the previous one. The previous few pulls were all based on news, and they fell back after two days. This time, the Ministry of Finance doubled the scale of long-term government bond repurchases, from 2 billion to at least 4 billion per transaction. With the decline in US bond yields, the weakening of the US dollar, and the collective relaxation of risk assets. Following that, the Trump White House Crypto Council made another move, saying that the United States is discussing "massive hoarding of coins," and BTC has directly increased from 69,000 to over 72,000.
This wave is really bad. 24 Nearly $3 billion was liquidated in the hour, with short positions accounting for more than $2.6 billion. More importantly, ETFs have seen a large net inflow for two consecutive days. On August 20th alone, they received $517 million, which is completely different from the previous market where contract funds were pushed hard. Some people say that it is the bearish squeeze that pushes prices up, but the real money of ETFs is the foundation for this wave to stand.
#ETH强势拉升，空头清算超11亿美元 #BTC加速拉升，资金还能继续接力吗？ $BTC SOXL dropped from 300 to 120, panic? I choose to keep going long.
This pullback is indeed brutal, SOXL lost nearly 60% in a month, and SOXX also retreated from 655 to around 540. But after calmly breaking it down, I don't think the AI logic is broken; rather, it feels like a pause to pick up passengers.
First, what is falling? It's sentiment, not orders.
The culprit of this plunge is the surge in long-term Treasury yields, which slashed valuations of high-growth stocks, having nothing to do with fundamentals. Looking at the industry side, TSMC's CoWoS capacity is still fully booked, Nvidia's H200 has a shortage of over a million units, and Samsung's advanced process prices are still rising. Orders are rock solid, AI has entered the earnings realization phase, not just the PPT stage.
Second, what are the smart money doing? Bottom fishing.
Despite retail panic, SOXL and SOXX have seen net inflows of tens of billions of dollars in the past month combined. Korean retail investors bought $3.7 billion of SOXL in July for good reason. Funds are just waiting for a signal that interest rates have stabilized.
My strategy:
Short-term volatility is inevitable, leveraged products are extremely volatile, so position management is paramount. But in the mid to long term, with a $1.5 trillion market by 2030 and equipment investment expected to double by 2027, AI is just getting started. I won't exit because of a single interest rate disturbance.
SOXL, waiting for the right-side stabilization, continue to be bullish. 🚀 BTC’s breakout above $69K looks powerful, but much of the move was fueled by a massive short squeeze and easier yield conditions. The key now is whether BTC can hold the breakout after forced buying fades—momentum is strong, but confirmation matters.Buying OKB is essentially not just a simple bet on an exchange token, but a bet on OKX's ability to bring users and liquidity to the X Layer.

The U.S. Treasury has doubled the single auction limit for 10-30 year Treasury buybacks from $2 billion to at least $4 billion, with Bassett even hinting it could be higher in the future. On the surface, this is to rescue liquidity, but behind it is a stress test of soaring long-term interest rates; however, for the $32 trillion Treasury market, this buyback is more like a "painkiller" rather than a cure.

WLD is currently at 0.3713, up 3.1% in 24 hours. Both the 1-hour and 4-hour trends are upward, just 1.07% and 0.59% below the recent highs, showing short-term strength. However, the top 10 sell orders total 337,781, exceeding buy orders of 308,874, indicating selling pressure at 0.3750.
Support is seen at 0.3650, resistance at 0.3750; a volume-backed break above 0.3750 would open mid-term potential up to 0.3820.
Plan 1: If price pulls back to 0.3670 and stabilizes, consider going long with a stop loss at 0.3610, targeting 0.3750 first, then 0.3820 upon breakout. If the 4-hour close falls below 0.3650, it signals weakening upward momentum; reduce positions or avoid chasing longs if not already in.
Funding rate is positive at 0.0100%, with coin-margined open interest at 73,461,060 units, indicating strong bullish sentiment. Main risks include weakening consumption expectations, slight dominance of sell orders in the order book, and long covering if breakout fails. It’s advisable to buy on dips but avoid chasing above 0.3750.

#沃尔玛在美销售放缓，消费压力受关注 $WLD What Pop Mart should be most wary of is not declining profits, but the market starting to reprice it. On August 20, Pop Mart released its 2026 first-half results: revenue of 17.17 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 23.8%; Net profit attributable to shareholders was 5.04 billion yuan, up 10.1% year-on-year; Adjusted net profit was 5.16 billion yuan, up about 9.5% year-on-year. Looking at the numbers alone, this is still a fast-growing company. But the capital market is not so optimistic. On August 21, Pop Mart's stock opened about 8.2% lower and fell more than 8% in early trading. The reason is simple: the market previously expected higher growth, not "23.8% revenue growth + about 10% profit growth." The company's actual revenue and profit were both below market expectations. More importantly, management has made it clear that the 20% growth target for 2026 is highly unlikely to be met, and the pressure will be even greater in the second half. So, the real issue with this financial report isn't whether Pop Mart can still make money. Instead: After LABUBU, who will take over? 1. What happened? Pop Mart hasn't stalled, but it did shift gears. Let's look at the most important data first. First-half revenue was 17.17 billion yuan, up 23.8% year-on-year; Adjusted net profit was 5.16 billion yuan, with a profit margin of about 30%; Gross margin was 69.7%, down 0.6 percentage points from 70.3% in the same period last year. What does this mean? Revenue is still growing, but profits have clearly lagged behind revenue. This is similar to LABUBU's explosive growth in 2025Hynix's buyback is implemented, and Samsung shareholders' returns are also being compared
South Korea's semiconductor industry is finally starting to directly answer an old question: How much of the money earned from AI can shareholders receive?
SK Hynix's large-scale buyback and cancellation this time sends a very clear signal: the company believes the market has underestimated it and wants to restore confidence with real cash. Samsung already has a long-term dividend and buyback framework; when these two giants move, the entire South Korean stock market will be revalued
But I won't just write this as positive news
The storage industry fears most is shouting about returning profits to shareholders while being dragged into a new round of capital expenditure competition by AI expansion. Buybacks can support the stock price but cannot guarantee the cycle will always go up. Truly capable management must do two things simultaneously: not hesitate to expand when needed, and not be ambiguous when it comes to distributing profits
What this round of Korean chip stocks needs to prove is not whether they can make money
But whether they can manage the money they make well

Risk warning: This is only a market logic review and does not constitute any investment advice. Crypto assets are highly volatile and trade 24/7 nonstop.
Current market overview
After reaching a historical high of $126,198 in October 2025, Bitcoin entered a major correction with a maximum drawdown exceeding 50%, hitting a yearly low of $57,800.
The market has become highly institutionalized, with US spot ETFs becoming the main channel for institutional allocation; capital inflows are no longer unidirectional and continuous, alternating between inflows and outflows, with incremental momentum significantly weaker compared to the 2025 bull market. Recently, there has been a phase rebound driven by short covering and ETF capital returning, causing a pulse surge, but the medium-term big picture remains in a consolidation and bottom-building phase.
Key price levels
• Strong resistance zone: $69,000–$73,000
2021 historical high plus a large concentration of trapped positions. Breaking through does not equal a valid breakout; it requires 2–3 consecutive daily candlesticks to close above to be considered effective; above that, a larger resistance lies at $83,000–$85,000, where a large amount of selling pressure to unlock positions accumulates.
• Core support: $60,000–$62,000
On-chain holding cost center, medium- to long-term capital absorption range.
• Extreme bottom: $57,000–$58,000
Yearly low and 200-week moving average resonance point; once effectively broken, it will open a deeper downside space.
Distinction: Short-term rapid spikes are largely due to contract short squeezes; sustainable major rallies require spot capital (ETF, on-chain whales) cooperation. Rallies driven solely by leverage are prone to false breakouts and pullbacks.
Bullish logic
1. Halving supply contraction, long-term coin lock-up
The fourth halving has taken effect, sharply reducing new mining output; Bitcoin inventories on exchanges remain at multi-year lows, with many long-term holders keeping cold wallets untouched, reducing circulating spot supply and suppressing long-term selling pressure.
2. Institutional base has formed
Spot ETFs bring traditional financial capital into the market; even with capital flowing in and out repeatedly, a long-term allocation base has been established; family offices and listed companies include Bitcoin in their major asset allocations, no longer a purely retail speculative market.
3. Macro liquidity inflection expectation
Bitcoin is a non-yielding risk asset; the 10-year US Treasury real yield is the most important macro switch. When real yields decline, risk-free returns decrease, enhancing Bitcoin’s allocation appeal; if US inflation continues to fall and the Fed starts cutting rates, it will bring major catalysts.
4. Regulatory narrative catalyst
Progress in US crypto legislation and marginal improvements in the regulatory environment will stimulate the market in phases.
Core bearish risks
1. High real interest rates are the biggest suppression
US Treasury real yields running high increase the opportunity cost of holding non-cash-flow Bitcoin. CPI inflation rebound and hawkish Fed signals can directly suppress prices, the most critical constraint in 2026.
2. Insufficient ETF fund sustainability
ETFs often experience large phase redemptions; a single day of large inflows does not indicate a trend reversal and requires multiple days of fund confirmation; rebounds driven solely by contract leverage have poor sustainability.
3. Heavy trapped position selling pressure
A large amount of high-entry cost positions are accumulated in the $69,000–$85,000 range; when price returns to cost lines, large-scale unlocking sales occur, and each upward breakout must digest selling pressure.
4. Derivatives leverage backlash
Rallies tend to generate high leverage; once the trend reverses, cascading long liquidations will amplify the decline.
5. Black swan risks
US regulatory tightening, geopolitical conflicts, and exchange security incidents can cause severe volatility.
Three scenario simulations
1. Base scenario (highest neutral probability): Range-bound consolidation
Trading back and forth within the $60,000–$73,000 large box. Waiting for US inflation and Fed policy signals, and for ETFs to resume sustained net inflows.
There will be multiple pulse breakouts above $69,000, mostly false breakouts, followed by pullbacks into the box to fully digest trapped positions.
2. Optimistic scenario: Effective upward breakout
Trigger conditions: US inflation significantly declines, rate cut expectations rise; Bitcoin ETFs see multiple days of large net inflows; on-chain whales continue accumulating.
Daily close above $73,000 opens upward space, next target $83,000–$85,000.
3. Pessimistic scenario: Deep downside
Inflation rebounds, Fed maintains high rates; ETFs see sustained large net outflows; global risk assets collectively sell off. Effective break below $60,000 support tests the extreme bottom at $57,000–$58,000.
BTC vs ETH comparison
• BTC: Store of value attribute, relatively lower beta, simple and clear institutional consensus, stronger bear market resilience.
• ETH: Infrastructure + staking yield, higher beta, greater upside elasticity but deeper downside drawdowns, rarely has an independent bull market, mostly follows BTC’s catch-up rally.
Key tracking indicators
1. US 10-year Treasury real yield (macro master switch)
2. US spot Bitcoin ETF daily net fund inflows/outflows
3. On-chain: exchange BTC balances, MVRV metric, short-term holder cost
4. CPI inflation, Fed officials’ speeches and dot plots
5. Derivatives: perpetual contract positions, long/short liquidation data
Summary
Bitcoin is now a risk asset deeply involved by institutions.
Halving is a long-term supply logic and cannot solely drive a major bull market; US Treasury real yields (macro liquidity) are the overall market master switch.
Short-term pulse rallies can be created by contract short squeezes; medium- to long-term trend rallies require the synergy of declining US Treasury real yields and incremental spot capital.
Do not mistake price piercing resistance as a breakout; a reliable signal requires holding above, volume expansion, and capital confirmation. Just said this morning "no new money coming in," and by noon the data slapped me in the face.
This morning I posted an article saying this rally is short covering, not new money entering. Reason: perpetual open interest didn't rise, no one willing to chase longs at a premium.
Then I opened CoinGlass at noon, and my face swelled.
Open interest rose 10% in one day. From $49 billion to $54 billion, a $5 billion increase in a day.
What is this called? It's called leverage coming back. This morning I said "no one is chasing," and by noon $5 billion in new positions squeezed in. My mouth is more accurate than Sandisk's stop-loss line—say one thing, the opposite happens.
But don't rush to laugh at me. Look at the full data first.
On the ETF side, net inflows exceeded $1 billion in three days. On August 19 alone, $517 million, the largest single day since May, with BlackRock absorbing $280 million by itself. Throughout August, no single trading day saw net outflows from US spot ETFs.
On-chain whales are also moving, net increasing holdings by 43,000 BTC. 43,000 BTC, at the current price of 74,000, equals $3.2 billion.
So new money is indeed coming in. Not a guess, but on the ledger. I admit I was wrong this morning.
But did you notice one detail?
Exchange stablecoin balances have been shrinking. USDT and other "ammunition" are withdrawing from exchanges.
On one side, leverage is rushing in with +10%, on the other, ammunition is decreasing. I've only seen this combo in one type of market phase—the latter half of a rally.
The first half is cheap chips changing hands; the latter half is leverage funds taking over. The more people relay, the faster the run, but the baton eventually drops.
The Fear & Greed Index is 73 today. Five days ago it was 27, now 73. A 46-point jump in five days—the fastest emotional shift since 2026. What does 73 mean? Extreme greed. Extreme greed is never the top, but those extremely greedy always say "this time is different."
I know some will scold me. This morning I said don't chase, at noon I said leverage is relaying, what do you mean?
What I mean is: I acknowledge the direction, the trend has turned bullish, I won't short at 74,000. But chasing longs at 74,000? ETF cost is 82,465, BlackRock 82,206, both still underwater. If you chase at 74,000, there's a line of big players averaging 82,000 waiting to break even and run.
To put it plainly, the current market is: new money coming in, ammunition decreasing, emotions boiling. The direction is right, but the entry point is bad. People entering at bad points still lose money in a bull market—this is a lesson I bought with 60% of my capital on Sandisk.
I'm still not moving today. Last week's shorts got slapped, this morning the data slapped me again, my face is already too swollen to look at. But even with a swollen face, I won't chase 74,000.
Waiting for what? Waiting for a pullback to 69,000-70,000, or for ammunition to replenish. Whichever comes first, that's when I enter. $BTC $ETH #BTC加速拉升，资金还能继续接力吗？ Brothers, everyone is talking about $BTC breaking 70,000 and short liquidations, but there's something more worth pondering that's being overlooked—Bitcoin is "aging" at an unprecedented speed.
3.56 million BTC have been unmoved for over ten years, accounting for 17.7% of the circulating supply, valued at over $240 billion. For every 6 BTC, 1 is extremely long-term dormant. In August, the movement of "sleeping coins" surged 5 times, with an average daily transfer of 220 BTC, mostly old coins from 2013-2014. Even addresses from 2011 woke up—8.54 BTC, worth $120 back then, now valued at $538,000, a 46,000-fold increase.
17.7% means a large amount of coins have permanently exited circulation—lost private keys, forgotten wallets. The actual tradable supply is far less than the numbers you see.
On August 20, US debt surpassed $40 trillion, with annual interest exceeding $1.1 trillion, more than twice the military budget. On the same day, BTC returned to 70,000. As debt servicing costs erode fiscal space, Bitcoin's "non-sovereign hedge" narrative is turning from slogan to reality.
On-chain data tells us something different from the candlestick charts: supply is tightening, coins are aging, holders are becoming more steadfast. These sleeping coins—are they lost, forgotten, or waiting for a higher price? Let's discuss in the comments.

#BTC加速拉升，资金还能继续接力吗？
#白宫峰会：特朗普称曾讨论购入BTC The most noteworthy aspect of Anthropic's IPO may not be "how much money it can raise," but rather a bigger question: How high is Wall Street willing to pay AI companies? The latest news shows that Anthropic is accelerating its IPO preparations, with the earliest possible IPO filings being released by the end of August. It should be noted that it had already secretly submitted its S-1 draft to the U.S. SEC as early as June 1, so the current focus of discussion is not "whether there is an IPO plan," but when to truly bring this transaction to the public market. And the market offers tremendous room for imagination. There are reports that Anthropic's IPO fundraising scale may match or even surpass SpaceX's previous record of $75 billion. If realized, this will not be just an ordinary tech company going public, but a stress test for the AI capital frenzy entering the public market. 1. What happened? Anthropic is no longer the AI startup it once was. Let's first look at the most critical data. After completing a $6.5 billion funding round in May this year, Anthropic's valuation has reached about $965 billion, a significant increase from about $380 billion in February. Even more remarkable is the increase in revenue. According to the latest reports, Anthropic's annualized revenue operating rate as of the end of July had reached approximately $65 billion, compared to about $47 billion in May this year. In other words, in just a few months, the pace of revenue growth has reached a new level. This is also the wish of the capital marketZEC’s rally looks impressive, but the risks are hard to ignore: developer continuity, concentrated hash power/holdings, and heavy derivatives leverage all raise questions about decentralization and sustainability. ETF interest could help, but non-binding capital commitments aren’t enough to remove those structural risks.Market Quick Report
Bitcoin is priced at $74,809.60, up 7.88% in 24 hours. The amplitude closed at 9.44 percentage points, indicating considerable volatility.
The 24-hour high was $75,779.40, the low was $69,233.00, with a trading volume of $1.07B, showing active turnover between bulls and bears.
Across the market, 121 assets rose while 29 fell, with 80.7% showing gains, clearly reflecting market sentiment.
In the exchange token sector, focus on $OKB; trading volume is relatively low, so watch if smart money makes a move.
In the DeFi sector, focus on $UNI; volatility has narrowed, wait for a directional choice before acting.
Top three gainers are $ENA +35.03%, $PEOPLE +32.50%, and $BOME +29.57%; smart money has already placed their bets.
Top three losers are $AEON -9.39%, $GRVT -9.33%, and $XCBRS -4.38%; profit-taking traders have abruptly exited.
Core judgment: The number of rising and falling assets sets the tone; the leaders in gains and losses set the direction. Don’t act against smart money.
This is public market data and does not constitute investment advice; make your own judgment.
That’s all for now; the decision is in your hands. Regarding the CLARITY Act, my judgment is simple:
In the short term, it most likely won't pass, but it's not that important.
1. The bill is important, but not mandatory.
The core is to use legislation to clearly define the regulatory boundaries between the SEC and CFTC.
However, the Senate has been stuck for months, with ongoing debates about DeFi and interest-bearing stablecoins, plus the midterm elections, so the time window is actually very short.
So I’m not too concerned about whether it will pass or not.
2. What’s really worth watching is the probability fluctuations.
Trump’s statements, the SEC’s compliant ICO framework, and CFTC Chairman Selig’s remarks could all cause short-term shifts in the probability of passage.
I opened a position within 20% at @bagel_win, and now it’s back to 28%. 🎉
So:
Don’t bet on the outcome, watch the probability.
3. Regulation has actually already been preemptively filled in.
The SEC’s compliant ICO channel essentially paves a path for tokens:
Securities → shedding securities attributes → commodities
The CFTC is also pushing exchanges, brokers, market makers, and perpetual platforms into the regulatory system, and Hyperliquid will most likely follow this path.
Along with token taxonomy, asset classification, issuance, and trading regulation are all gradually being implemented.
So to put it plainly:
Even if CLARITY doesn’t pass, regulation won’t stop.
Of course—what if it does pass? Then just consider it as having positioned yourself early. 😏
#白宫峰会：特朗普称曾讨论购入BTC
$BTC This round of collective cryptocurrency rally is not merely driven by speculative capital but is the result of the combined effects of macro liquidity, overseas regulatory expectations, and market structure, with the uptrend supported by clear fundamental factors. The improvement in macro liquidity is the underlying driver of this rebound. The U.S. Treasury has expanded the scale of long-term Treasury repurchase operations, effectively lowering long-term U.S. bond yields, marginally easing market liquidity conditions. The valuation pressure on risk assets has been significantly alleviated, providing upside space for highly volatile assets like cryptocurrencies. Overseas regulatory expectations have warmed up, substantially restoring market sentiment. On August 18, the U.S. SEC announced proposed rules for crypto assets, establishing a new exemption mechanism and safe harbor framework to regulate certain crypto asset issuance and financing activities. On August 19, the White House met with crypto industry executives to fully promote the legislative process of the "Digital Asset Market Clarity Act." Regulation has shifted from ambiguous tightening to rule-based implementation, completely reversing market pessimism. The short squeeze in the market has amplified the rally. After a prolonged period of market consolidation and adjustment, many investors were bearish on the outlook, with short positions continuously accumulating and becoming highly crowded $BTC $ETH $SOL #Anthropic拟8月底公开IPO文件，募资或追平SpaceX BTC accelerates its rise—can funds continue to take over? The real issue worth discussing in Bitcoin's recent rally is no longer "how much has risen," but a more critical question: who exactly pushed BTC up? If it were just short-term short squeezes caused by short liquidations, then this rally could come and go just as fast; But if there is already sustained spot capital behind the scenes, especially institutional funds re-entering the market, then $70,000 may not be the end, but merely the starting point for market repricing. Based on the current data, I prefer to define this round as: a mixed market of "spot funds recovering + short squeeze + improved macro expectations." In other words, it's not just a short squeeze, but short-term acceleration does have a clear short-selling component. 1. Why did BTC suddenly accelerate? The trigger for this rally is not complicated. On August 20, BTC once surged to around $72,800, with a single-day increase of over 6%, marking the highest level since June. Meanwhile, the U.S. Treasury announced an expansion of long-term Treasury repurchases, which the market believes could ease long-term interest rate pressures and improve risk asset sentiment. Trump's push for the CLARITY Act again at the White House cryptocurrency event further eased market concerns about U.S. crypto regulation. But macro news is just "igniting." What truly accelerated BTC was the accumulation of a large amount of short interest in the market itself. When BTC regained the $70,000 mark, short stop-losses and forced liquidations began to turn into new buying opportunities. On August 19, BTC rose in a single day#BTC accelerating its rise, can the funds continue to take over?
I am Brother Ci. BTC broke through 75,000, and the low volatility state was completely broken. The 24-hour high reached above 75,000, with shorts concentrated on closing positions, amplifying the gains. The entire network's liquidations once approached $3 billion, with shorts accounting for the vast majority.
The capital side is simultaneously recovering. On August 19, the combined net inflow of US BTC and ETH spot ETFs was about $706 million, with BTC around $517 million and ETH about $189 million. Continuous net inflows into ETFs over multiple days are the core incremental factor of this rally. Institutions have been continuously buying above 65,000; the buying is not short-term speculative funds but allocation-type capital entering the market.
The current divergence lies in the nature of this rally. If it is a short-term acceleration after a short squeeze, then profit-taking at high levels and leverage re-accumulation will amplify volatility, and the market may quickly top out. If it is a trend repair brought by ETF and spot buying flows returning, then this rally still has room, and pullbacks are buying opportunities.
The key lies in whether subsequent trading volume and stablecoin liquidity can keep up. If incremental funds continue to enter, the short squeeze market may switch to a trend upward. If spot support is insufficient, high-level profit-taking and leverage re-accumulation will amplify volatility. The direction hasn't changed, but the rhythm is shifting. Brother Ci has finished speaking; you savor it. $BTC $ETH $SOL This round of $BTC rally seems like a price breakout
but is actually the result of three core forces pushing simultaneously.
First, the U.S. Treasury plans to expand long-term Treasury repurchases,
which the market interprets as a marginal improvement in liquidity.
The weakening of the dollar index benefits risk assets collectively.
Second, on August 19, U.S. spot ETFs saw a net inflow of about $517 million,
with BlackRock's IBIT contributing $285 million in spot funds, clearly indicating a capital return.
Third, in the past 24 hours, the entire market liquidated over $3.2 billion,
with a large number of short positions being continuously swept out, creating a typical short squeeze scenario.Fundamental Research Report $TRX / TRON (Established/Litecoin lineage) $3.20
Essentially: TRON ($TRX) comprehensive score 54/100, rating narrative outweighs execution. Breaking down the three layers, the company team has cash reserves, the protocol network shows signs of paid usage, and token value capture has been realized.
Project overview: TRON (token $TRX), an established project in the Litecoin lineage track. Focuses on Tron network and stablecoin settlement. Competes with ETH and EOS. Traditional centralized platforms charge 15-40% commission, with no user data ownership. On-chain trustless transactions have lower fees, and token incentives convert early users into contributors. Average customer spend is $50-500/month, requiring USDC or fiat settlement. Narrative-driven track, usage drops 60-80% in bear markets. Positioned as an end-to-end vertical platform. Product deployment: protocol layer officially operational, on-chain dashboard shows protocol fees accumulating, with evidence of paid usage. Latest version not found, 60 valid commits in the last 90 days.
User metrics: address MAU not disclosed, DAU not disclosed, 24h trading volume $80.00M, TVL not found. Wallet addresses do not equal unique monthly active users; concentration of large addresses may overestimate real user count. Revenue side: user fees undisclosed, supplier income about 80-90% of user fees (to LPs and nodes), protocol treasury income $2.00M, token holder buyback and burn annualized no burn mechanism. 24h trading volume is business flow, not revenue. Company profit does not equal protocol profit, protocol profit does not equal token holder profit. Code side: 60 valid commits in 90 days, 25 active contributors, latest version not found. GitHub is grade A evidence for direct verification. Investment background: company equity financing per PitchBook/Crunchbase (grade A), token private and public sales per whitepaper, release schedule, and on-chain unlock contracts (grade A), market makers and ecosystem grants grade B, not representing long-term VC holdings, technical integration per API/SDK evidence (grade B), strategic partnerships and logo walls grade D. NVIDIA GPU usage does not equal NVIDIA investment, exchange listing does not equal exchange strategic investment.
Token side: total supply 1,300,000,000, circulating 950,000,000 (73.1%), FDV $4.20B, next unlock 2026-Q4 (adds +3.50% to circulation), no clear annualized buyback and burn. Is buying tokens required to use the product? Partially, moderate value capture (staking/discount/governance). Compared with peers (uniform criteria, no cross-track comparison): circulating market cap TRON $3.00B, ETH undisclosed, EOS undisclosed. FDV TRON $4.20B, ETH undisclosed, EOS undisclosed. Annual revenue TRON $2.00M, ETH undisclosed, EOS undisclosed. Monthly active addresses or users TRON undisclosed, ETH undisclosed, EOS undisclosed. Figures based on public data snapshots; some missing data supplemented by official reports or industry standards. Valuation: circulating market cap $3.00B, FDV $4.20B, P/S 1500.0x, FDV to revenue 2100.0x. Pessimistic view discounts $3.00B by 50-70%, neutral range oscillates, optimistic scenario doubles revenue, burn implemented, enterprise clients onboard, FDV P/S aligns with top projects. Final judgment: fundamentals solid (score 54/100). Token value capture realized (buyback/burn/Gas). Circulating market cap relatively expensive compared to fundamentals, overleveraged expectations, FDV moderate. Three major risks: short-term large unlock dump, protocol revenue long-term zero, token demand relies solely on incentives (if incentives stop, usage collapses). Tracking metrics: weekly protocol fees, burn amount, active address retention, TVL/loan balance, GitHub version releases. The above is logic and judgment based on public information, not investment advice. If core financial indicators deviate more than 30%, conclusions need reassessment.
Fundamentals covered here, the rest is up to the market.
#FundamentalResearch #Crypto #Research #OKXOrbit🚨 The real Bitcoin bull market might have to wait for this signal to appear.
Many people only focus on $BTC's price in USD.
But what I'm paying more attention to now is:
BTC / Nasdaq Ratio.
This indicator doesn't measure whether Bitcoin has risen,
but rather—
whether Bitcoin can truly "outperform the US stock market."
Since the peak in 2025,
BTC / Nasdaq Ratio once plunged about 64%.
Interestingly, similar sharp crashes also happened in the 2018 and 2022 bear markets.
And now:
BTC / Nasdaq has rebounded about 15% from the bottom.
But don't rush to call a bull market yet.
Because the real key hasn't been broken through:
🎯 BTC / Nasdaq = 3.0
As long as the ratio stays below 3.0,
it means capital still prefers Nasdaq,
and Bitcoin hasn't truly regained market dominance.
But if BTC / Nasdaq officially breaks above 3.0 and holds steady—
things will be completely different.
That means:
Bitcoin starts outperforming tech stocks.
Capital shifts back toward Crypto.
BTC changes from "rising with risk assets" to "leading the market."
The real big move
often doesn't start when everyone begins shouting bull market.
But when—
Bitcoin starts outperforming everyone again.
So from now on, I only watch one number:
3.0.
Breaking it could be the true start of this $BTC rally.👀
