Iran's Foreign Minister today denied the news of an extension of the ceasefire.
The day before, Arab media reported that the US and Iran were going to extend the ceasefire by 60 days, and BTC surged to 64,000.
Once Iran denied it, part of the gains were given back.
Geopolitical news has dulled as a driving force for BTC.
Jane Street increased its Bitcoin ETF holdings from 34 million to 1.06 billion in Q2. It cut 71% in Q1 and added 211% in Q2. The same institution, two quarters, completely opposite directions. Strategy sold 346 million worth of stocks last week to raise funds but did not buy coins, holding steady. Jane Street is buying, Strategy is waiting, each with their own calculations. $BTC #交易之声：你的经验值得被听到
Just saw a big influencer shout that $BTC is about to reverse, and I almost laughed out loud.
Few people talk about the 30-year US Treasury yield. It surged to 5.31% tonight, a 19-year high—that's the real boss. The hand pressing down on all overvalued assets is the interest rate, not the minor fluctuations in the K-line intraday chart. BTC pulling back to 64K is just triggering a wave of short stop-losses; it doesn't change the big picture at all.
I still hold long ETH positions with a cost basis of 1880, currently with a slight unrealized profit, but I have no intention to add more. After watching for a while, I realized—the longer interest rates stay high, the harder it is for risk asset valuations to rise. Crypto is just the weakest link in this chain in terms of pricing power. Honestly, chasing longs at this level has pretty poor odds. I've been burned before, rushing in after a bullish candle only to get stuck holding the bag. After trading for a long time, you learn to watch the water level, not the waves. Don’t be fooled by a short squeeze wick into catching a falling knife.
What do you think—is this BTC move a reversal or just a rebound? I'm a bit unsure... Are the odds really that bad for chasing longs at this level? 😅
#加密估值转向收入，BTC如何定价？ U.S. Treasury yields hit a 19-year high, yet $BTC BTC rose, confused again
30-year U.S. Treasury yield at 5.29%.
Highest since 2007.
Textbooks tell us: a surge in long-term yields → borrowing costs rise → valuation pressure → risk assets crash.
By this logic, Bitcoin should be bleeding today.
But it rebounded.
On August 17, BTC bounced from a low of $62,714 to $64,360.
Is the market malfunctioning?
Or is your analytical framework outdated?
Let's first see what happened today.
U.S. Treasuries faced a new wave of selling; the 30-year Treasury yield rose 3 basis points on Monday to 5.29%, approaching the 5.44% peak set at the start of the 2008 financial crisis.
Meanwhile:
The probability of the Fed holding rates steady in September rose to 69%
The 2-year Treasury yield has dropped about 20 basis points since July 23
Bitcoin rebounded to $64,360
Short-term rates are falling, long-term rates are soaring.
The yield curve is "bear steepening."
The market is not worried about rate hikes in the short term but is terrified in the long term.
What are they afraid of?
Afraid of the Fed. Afraid of the Treasury. Afraid that neither institution dares to do the right thing.
Nohshad Shah, head of fixed income sales at Castle Securities, said something harsh:
"This reflects the market's view that, when faced with tough choices, both the Fed and the Treasury tend to take the easier path."
What does that mean?
Inflation has been above the Fed's target for five consecutive years SOL trades at $SOL $75.74 (-0.36%), pulling back after hitting resistance at $SOL $75.98. Price sits above the 10 MA ($75.69) and 20 MA ($75.66), but below the 5 MA ($75.82). MACD maintains slight bullish momentum (0.08).
Reclaiming resistance at $75.82 is needed to retest $75.98. Losing immediate support at $75.69 risks a deeper drop back toward $75.23.
#XiaomiEarningsWatch #30YYieldHits2007High #OKX.ai The RWA (Real World Asset Tokenization) market size has surged 2228% in three years, reaching $44.7 billion. This is no longer just hype; institutions are genuinely bringing government bonds, credit, and real estate onto the blockchain.
Ethereum, with its mature ecosystem and custody capabilities, holds 23.3 billion RWA assets out of a total 522.33 billion RWA assets, accounting for 521.87 billion, but institutional products like BlackRock BUIDL and xStocks are rapidly entering.
Growth logic: Fractional ownership lowers barriers to entry, 24/7 trading improves turnover, and on-chain transparency enhances trust. At the tail end of low interest rates, tokenized assets provide liquidity that traditional assets struggle to offer.
Key targets: RWA infrastructure projects such as ONDO, ONDO, PLUME; meanwhile, be wary of regulatory fragmentation—different jurisdictions classify tokenized securities differently, and compliance costs remain high.
#高盛称美联储9月加息可能性非常低 #XiaomiEarningsWatch
Xiaomi’s upcoming results will test whether its broader ecosystem can deliver balanced growth. The key areas are premium smartphones, electric vehicles, AIoT products and the “Human × Car × Home” strategy. Premium devices are supporting higher average selling prices, while the EV division is emerging as a potential second growth engine beyond smartphones.
Investors should examine smartphone shipments and margins alongside EV deliveries, vehicle profitability and manufacturing capacity. Rising memory costs could pressure device margins, while rapid automotive expansion requires significant research and capital spending. My view is that Xiaomi’s greatest advantage is the connection between phones, cars, appliances and software. However, this ecosystem creates lasting value only if users remain active across multiple products. Improving EV economics, premium-phone demand and recurring service revenue will therefore be more important than headline hardware sales alone.最近几天，安全媒体报道了一起值得 Web3 用户注意的 macOS 安全事件：攻击者利用 Screen Sharing 相关漏洞入侵设备，并安装 Monero 挖矿程序。 听起来和钱包没关系，但其实关系很大。 很多人判断钱包安全，只盯着助记词和交易签名，却忽略了钱包运行的那台电脑。如果攻击者已经控制了设备，他未必需要立刻把币转走，也可以先观察浏览器、截取屏幕、读取本地文件，等你下一次打开钱包或登录交易平台时再动手。 这类攻击最麻烦的地方，是设备可能还能正常使用。电脑只是变慢、风扇变响、耗电增加，用户很容易以为是系统老化，而不是已经被植入了恶意程序。 我现在会把钱包设备也分层： 日常办公和娱乐的电脑，不登录大额资产账户，也不连接长期储存钱包；真正要做重要签名，尽量使用专门设备，并及时更新系统；发现异常发热、卡顿或出现陌生远程访问记录时，先暂停交易，不要继续输入密码或签名。 CatWallet 这类移动端多链工具可以减少在不同应用之间切换，但它解决的是资产管理效率，不是设备感染问题。手机、电脑和钱包应用本身的安全状态，仍然需要单独检查。 最容易被忽略的一条是：钱包安全不只取决于钱包本身，也LINK 9.5: RWA+AI, a truly functional oracle, institutions hold it as a base position for a slow bull market, retail investors find it boring — when you sell, it slowly rises; when you chase, it plays dead.
HYPE 59: Burned 141 million in Q2 for buybacks, burning millions daily, but in August the team unlocked 430,000 tokens to transfer to exchanges; the cash flow story is told to retail investors, while the sawtooth shakeout is reserved for themselves.
DOGE 0.07: Bollinger Bands have been the tightest since 2023, Musk calls for a 20% pump, but if forgotten, it falls back to its original state; no burn, no cash flow, purely a retail liquidity graveyard.
BTC is consolidating sideways at 64,000 with low volume, no big moves yet —
$LINK is an asset, $HYPE is a ticking bomb token, $DOGE is an expired lottery ticket.🎰The 30-year US Treasury yield surged to 5.31%, the last time was June 2007—on the eve of the subprime crisis
Despite economic weakness and easing rate hike expectations, long-term yields still surged—not driven by rate hikes, but by the market voting with its feet. The CBO raised the fiscal year 2026 deficit from 1.9 trillion to 2.1 trillion, with a massive increase in Treasury supply—who will buy if yields aren’t high?
Short-term rates remain unchanged, long-term rates soar, steepening the curve. Inflation has been above the 2% target for five consecutive years, AI giants are borrowing heavily, and Middle East turmoil pushed oil prices up 2.55%. The worse the economy → the higher the deficit → the more bonds issued → the higher the rates, a vicious cycle
Gold is the safest: central banks worldwide keep hoarding gold, US Treasury credit is shaky, gold prices surpassed $4400, up over 9% in August, with institutions eyeing $4500 by year-end. Gold profits from certainty
BTC is the most conflicted: after spot ETFs pass, Wall Street leads pricing, simultaneously bought as digital gold and sold as a high-risk asset. Earning 5.3% risk-free yield passively, but when panic hits, BTC falls harder than the Nasdaq; geopolitical events trigger safe-haven flows back into BTC. BTC bets on expectation gaps
November’s rate decision is key: if inflation continues to fall and the market bets on rate cuts, BTC’s elasticity will increase, and gold’s trend will stabilize.
Summary: Gold is the ballast, BTC is a small bet on elasticity, no matter how tempting US Treasury yields are, don’t go all in—after 5.3% in 2007, what followed wasn’t stable income but the 2008 financial tsunami, where all risk assets were bloodied, ultimately forcing zero rates and QE
History doesn’t repeat, but it always rhymesThe financialization of capital-intensive industries is fundamentally a routine operation in infrastructure construction.
Building a highway requires an initial investment of tens of billions today, with costs gradually recouped over the next decade or even several decades through tolls, so project loans, bonds, and other financial instruments are needed to convert future cash flows into today's construction funds.
The same applies to power plants, ports, power grids, and data centers.
Therefore, $NVDA currently promoting $OPENAI's AI infrastructure financing does not equate to "circular financing = bubble."
What truly needs caution is not the financing itself, but whether these assets will generate sufficient real cash flow in the future.
If AI truly enters the capital-intensive era, financialization is an inevitable path

"NVIDIA's Hundred Billion Guarantee: OpenAI Leases Power Plant"
NVIDIA has pushed the leverage in the computing power business to the extreme.
A massive $105 billion rental credit guarantee directly targets the 8-gigawatt giant AI factory in Pickaway County, Ohio.
Flipping through this power draft in the early morning, the moment I saw the guarantee cap number, my fingertips felt a chill.
This is an unprecedented super leverage bet in Silicon Valley history.
NVIDIA invested $1.5 billion in SB Energy under SoftBank, while underwriting OpenAI's lease fulfillment for the next twenty years.
Imagine the initial 4.25 gigawatts of power roaring, equivalent to 1.5 million top-tier graphics cards running day and night at full speed.
This structure is like a market maker advancing margin for top traders, on the condition that all orders go through their own matching channel.
OpenAI has offloaded the cash burden of building heavy assets, and NVIDIA has directly locked in exclusive supply rights for the next ten years.
Facing widespread market skepticism about circular self-financing, Jensen Huang publicly responded: "OpenAI will pay the rent themselves."
The entire deal transforms originally high hardware procurement expenses into long-term rental liabilities and computing power lock-in spanning twenty years.
Tracking this deal only requires monitoring the rent coverage ratio at the initial 800-megawatt delivery in 2028.
The flywheel of the computing power empire is already spinning at full speed. $BTC $ETH Today: The price hasn't moved much, but the capital logic is slowly changing
As of today, August 18, ETH is around $1,894, maintaining a range-bound movement during the day, still noticeably below the previous rebound high.
Recently, the performance of the US spot ETH ETF has been quite interesting: last week, the ETH ETF saw a net inflow of about $245 million, marking five consecutive weeks of net inflows.
In other words:
ETF funds keep coming in → ETH price hasn't clearly broken out → selling pressure still exists in the market
This actually indicates that ETH is currently digesting its positions.
Additionally, a rather interesting signal has appeared recently: Cboe is applying to launch a 3x leveraged ETH ETF. This doesn't mean ETH will immediately rise, but at least it shows that traditional financial markets continue to treat ETH as an asset that can be financialized and traded.
So my current judgment on ETH is simple:
Around $1,900 → see if it can stabilize again → ETF funds continue to flow in → ETH/BTC continues to recover → only then is there a chance to open the next market cycle.
In the short term, I won't call a bull market just because of a day or two of gains.
But if later we see:
Sustained capital inflow + ETH breaks key resistance + BTC remains stable
Then ETH might not just be following BTC's rebound but regaining its own market momentum.
Right now, ETH seems more like it's gathering strength rather than having already taken off.Oil price at $91 + 30-year US Treasury yield at 5.32%: The real pressure on BTC is not in Iran, but in this transmission chain
The 60-day temporary US-Iran agreement window has expired, the US has clearly refused to extend it, and Iran has warned it will adopt a more aggressive stance; Brent crude oil immediately rose to $91.49.
At the same time, the US 30-year Treasury yield surged to 5.321%, a high not seen since 2007.
What really needs to be watched is not the geopolitical news itself, but this macro chain:
Middle East escalation → Oil price rise → Inflation expectations rise → Long-term interest rates remain high → Risk asset valuations under pressure.
There was already a clear split at the July FOMC: the committee maintained rates at 3.50%–3.75%, but three members directly voted to raise rates by 25bp. The July meeting minutes will be released on August 19 Eastern Time, and the market is looking to see how large the hawkish camp really is.
BTC is currently around $64,163, and despite the dual highs in oil prices and US Treasuries, it has not experienced an uncontrolled drop, indicating support around 63,000.
But BTC and ETH should be viewed separately:
BTC is more of an institutional core crypto position, relatively more resilient; ETH is a higher beta asset, more sensitive to real interest rates and risk-off sentiment.
Geopolitics lights the fire,
Interest rates determine whether this fire ultimately burns BTC and ETH. $BTC #30年期美债收益率创2007年以来新高 Market Snapshot
Bitcoin price at $64,201.50, up 1.05% in 24 hours. The amplitude closed at 2.11 percentage points, indicating notable volatility.
The 24-hour high was $64,630.30, the low was $63,287.80, with a trading volume of $282.29M, showing active long and short position turnover.
Across the market, 32 assets rose while 77 fell, with rising assets accounting for 29.4%, clearly reflecting market sentiment.
In the DeFi sector, focus on $UNI, trading volume is relatively low; first watch if smart money makes a move.
In the exchange token sector, focus on $OKB, volatility has narrowed; wait for directional choice before acting.
Top 3 gainers are $AEON +19.29%, $XCBRS +11.22%, $CSPR +8.59%, smart money has already placed their bets.
Top 3 losers are $GALA -16.60%, $BICO -10.41%, $WLD -9.91%, profit-taking traders have abruptly exited.
Conclusion: The number of rising and falling assets sets the tone, the leaders in gains and losses set the direction; don’t go against smart money.

That’s all for now; manage your entry and exit decisions yourself. SanDisk’s rally looks less like a simple reaction to ambitious targets and more like a reassessment of revenue visibility. Shares rose over 10% intraday and closed more than 8% higher as investors weighed reported deals with eight customers, worth about $93.9B and extending up to five years.
The measured view: longer commitments can reduce demand uncertainty, but they do not automatically secure the planned near-80% adjusted gross margin. Execution and contract economics now matter more than the headline value, especially against FY2028–FY2030 revenue growth goals and a pledge to return all excess cash. Not advice, just analysis.
#SanDiskLongTermDealsWhat is truly suppressing BTC is not the shorts: the 5.32% U.S. Treasury yield is re-pricing global assets.
BTC is still fluctuating around $64,000, but the wall above is getting higher: the U.S. 30-year Treasury yield recently surged to 5.327%, a new high since 2007.
More importantly, this is no longer just a "Fed rate hike or not" trade.
On August 13, the $25 billion 30-year Treasury auction saw a winning yield as high as 5.216%, the highest since 2001, with a bid-to-cover ratio of only 2.39; meanwhile, U.S. government financing needs and massive bond issuance by AI giants are competing for long-term capital.
Adding to this, Brent crude oil has climbed back above $91, transmitting inflation risk and fiscal term premiums to the long end.
The real pressure on BTC is not simply "Treasuries have interest, BTC does not," but rather:
Higher risk-free yields → higher real funding costs → investors demand higher returns from risk assets → BTC valuation thresholds are raised.
But the most dangerous moments often also breed the next round of opportunities.
If in the future we see long-term bond yields peak, real interest rates fall, and ETF funds continuously flow back, that could be more important than any technical breakout candle.
Now is not the time to bet on bulls or bears.
Wait first for the blade of funding costs to start dulling. $BTC
#30年期美债收益率创2007年以来新高 The black swan I can think of:
Currently, the hottest topic is on-chain US stocks.
They are also the most fragile. Every platform is creating its own US stock meme coin on its own chain. There's nothing new to play with in the crypto world, and the retail investors have become savvy. They know that altcoins will all go to zero. But how many realize that a huge trap lies ahead—the meme version of stocks.
In fact, the black swan is already brewing. A few days ago, Hype already staged a crisis. A simple oracle error just amplified a few hundred dollars' worth of a single order, resulting in a massive loss. Although Hype manned up and promised compensation, but... the deceased are like flowing water.
Traditional crypto crashes have become unoriginal—exchange bankruptcies, account hacks, token misissuance... all very localized with minimal damage. Only the current craze of all crypto platforms going crazy with on-chain stocks is new, completely unregulated, and retail investors are completely unprepared. This is the perfect tool for harvesting.
In conclusion, from a whale's fall, all life arises. Come on, the crypto world has been silent for too long. A storm can bring rebirth.Robinhood Chain activity is becoming a tailwind for $UNI. 🔄
Launchpad traders pay Uniswap fees, which support UNI buybacks/burns. The chain generated 70.5% of Uniswap’s 30-day fees, potentially strengthening UNI relative to $HOOD in the near term.
Early retained fees also annualize to ~0.60% of Robinhood’s Q2 net revenue. 👀A Bitcoin mining company has already written the word "bankruptcy" into its SEC filing.
Vulcan Infrastructure & Power still has a $33.1 million debt due on October 31.
As of the end of June, it only had about $3.2 million in cash on hand, plus about $6 million in digital assets, so the available assets total around $9.2 million.
Now it is pinning its hopes on a $39.4 million PIPE financing, planning to use most of it to repay this debt.
The problem is timing.
The PIPE must be completed by October 10 at the latest, and the debt matures on October 31, only 21 days apart.
If the financing doesn't close, within these three weeks it will have to find new funds, negotiate extensions, restructure debt, or sell assets.
Given the current cash level, there is basically no room to directly repay the $33.1 million.
The company has clearly stated the worst-case scenario in the SEC filing:
If the financing fails and no other solutions are found, there could be debt default, restructuring, or even seeking bankruptcy protection.
This is also a key point I pay attention to when looking at mining companies.
BTC price fluctuations are of course important, but when debt matures, how much cash is on hand, and whether the next round of financing can be secured in time sometimes determine a company's survival even more than faster hash rate growth.
Mining rigs can keep running, but creditors won't wait forever. $BTC SNDK has risen again.
When I open the market now, my first reaction is no longer "how much did it rise today," but rather:
When will it finally take a breather?
Even more astonishing, at the end of July it once dropped to around $1007.
In less than a month, the stock price has rebounded by nearly 80%.
This is the most fascinating part of the market.
At $1007, everyone was worried that the NAND cycle had peaked and profits were unsustainable, thinking every piece of good news might be a selling opportunity; now at around $1800, the discussion has shifted to "AI storage is just getting started" and "will it soon return to its historical highs."
The company is still the same company.
What changes fastest is often people's emotions.
Of course, this rally is not without fundamental support.
SanDisk's latest quarterly revenue was $8.965 billion, a year-over-year increase of 372%, with non-GAAP earnings per share of $39.25. The company expects next quarter's revenue to reach $10.3–10.8 billion, with earnings per share of $44–46.
This is no longer just a story about "AI needing more storage," but about data center demand, NAND prices, and orders all entering the financial statements together.
My biggest impression of SNDK now is: when it falls, it makes people doubt the financial reports; when it rises, it makes people doubt the price.
SanDisk's story is indeed getting smoother, but the candlestick chart has already pushed many people's emotions to the highest level.
The most comfortable price has also been left behind.
#闪迪收涨逾8%，长期协议受关注 $SNDK 30-year US Treasury breaks through 5.3%: BTC's real opponent may not be the bears, but the "risk-free yield"
What the market should be most wary of now is not whether the Fed will hike rates again, but that long-term yields have started to decouple from pure policy rate trading
On August 13, the US Treasury's $25 billion 30-year bond auction had a winning yield of 5.216%, the highest since 2001; the bid-to-cover ratio was only 2.39, down from 2.44 last month.
Subsequently, the 30-year yield further surged to 5.321%, a new high since 2007. Meanwhile, the 10-year real yield has risen to 2.44%
This indicates that the bond market repricing is no longer just about the Fed:
Fiscal deficit + Treasury supply + inflation risk + term premium are all pushing up the cost of long-term capital.
This is especially critical for BTC.
BTC is currently still oscillating around $64,200. When risk-free assets can offer over 5% nominal yield and over 2% real yield, the opportunity cost of holding a high-volatility asset with no cash flow naturally rises.
So the next real breakthrough BTC needs is not just $64,500
But—
The "cost of capital wall" of rising US Treasury yields.
As long-term yields don't ease, every crypto risk-on becomes more expensive. $BTC #30年期美债收益率创2007年以来新高 U.S. Treasury yields surge to a 19-year high, but BTC holds at 64,000: The current pressure on Crypto is not from bears, but from "money being too expensive"
Overnight, U.S. stocks closed broadly lower: Dow -0.51%, S&P -0.52%, Nasdaq -0.31%. Although semiconductors bucked the trend and strengthened, overall risk appetite clearly cooled.
What really needs caution is interest rates.
The U.S. 30-year Treasury yield briefly rose to 5.321%, a new high since 2007; the 10-year yield rose to 4.724%. Meanwhile, Brent crude oil climbed back above $91, with Middle East risks again pushing up energy inflation expectations.
BTC still holds near $64,000, indicating no panic selling in the market for now.
The funding side is also interesting: BTC ETFs saw a net outflow of about $385 million last week, but on August 17, there was a net inflow of $137 million.
So the current issue is not a complete institutional withdrawal, but a lack of continuous buying.
In the short term, I continue to watch:
BTC must hold above 64,500 → only then can we talk about a breakout;
If it falls back below 63,200 → defend 62,500.
The biggest macro ceiling for Crypto right now is very clear:
The higher the oil price → the greater the inflation pressure → the harder it is for Treasury yields to come down → the more risk asset valuations are pressured.
The next real market move may not be initiated by BTC itself, but will wait for long-term rates to ease first. $BTC
#30年期美债收益率创2007年以来新高 兄弟们，昨天美股三大指数全线收跌，存储板块却逆势狂飙。 闪迪收盘1786.85美元，涨8.88%，拿下标普和纳指100涨幅双冠王。成交额309亿美元，全美股第二。从8月5日低点1226算起，不到两周反弹超45%。 市场在交易什么？两件事。 第一，NBM长协把周期股改成了成长股。 闪迪已签8份NBM长期协议，包含3家美国超大规模云厂商。合同总价值939亿美元，平均期限超4年。价格下限对应的毛利率约80%。覆盖2027财年约50%出货量、2028财年约三分之二。 第二，长期财务目标远超预期。 2028-2030年营收中高双位数增长，毛利率约80%，营业利润率约75%，调整后自由现金流利润率约50%。公司承诺将100%超额现金返还股东。 市场已经在按新逻辑定价了。 高盛重申买入，目标价2200美元。摩根大通上调至增持，目标价2250美元。25位分析师中22个建议买入。 但短期涨幅已经不小，技术面进入超买区域。老默说一句：方向偏多，但别追高。$BTC $ETH $SNDK #闪迪收涨逾8%，长期协议受关注 356万枚BTC沉睡链上，市场却迟迟不愿醒来。这组数据乍看像是一个囤币时代的注脚，但细品之下，更像一场多空双方都选择闭眼的僵局。流通盘在收缩，教科书说价格该涨，现实却告诉我们，涨价需要新钱，而不是旧币的“不动”。📉 先看事实：约356万枚BTC，占当前流通供应量约17.7%，长期未发生链上移动，创下历史新高。这其中有丢失私钥的“死币”，也有长期持有者压根没有出售意图。无论是哪种，结果都一样——有效流通供应在减少。理论上，供给减少会推升价格，但BTC却始终在63500到65000美元窄幅震荡，成交量持续萎缩，波动率被压到几个月来最低水平。衍生品市场也在用脚投票，隐含波动率一路走低，说明交易者既不恐慌，也无意押注大方向。📊 更值得留意的是ETF资金流。近几周现货ETF买盘明显降温，稳定币甚至继续呈现净流出状态。链上巨鲸不动，场外资金不进场，二级市场只能靠存量资金来回博弈。没有增量资金，紧缩供应的故事就暂时缺乏说服力——价格需要买盘推动，而不是靠持有者躺平就能涨上去。供应减少是真的，但需求同步处于观望状态，双方都在退，价格自然横在那里，像一场沉默的博弈。🤔 不过有个例外正在浮出水面：EOn August 18, the storage trio SanDisk, Micron, and SK Hynix experienced rollercoaster trading. In early trading, boosted by sustained AI demand, SanDisk $SNDK surged nearly 9%, Micron $MU rose over 4%, and SK Hynix $SKHYNIX climbed more than 8%. However, the market turned sharply during the session; by the time of writing, SanDisk had dropped over 3%, Micron fell more than 2%, and SK Hynix plunged over 7%.
The trigger points directly to Middle East geopolitical risks. Iran threatened to shift to a "full-scale offensive" if necessary, while the U.S. ruled out extending the ceasefire possibility. Brent crude oil responded by breaking above $90, and the U.S. 30-year Treasury yield surpassed 5.31%, hitting a 19-year high. Risk assets came under broad pressure, and the storage sector, one of the best-performing tracks this year (SanDisk once soared 628% year-to-date), naturally became a heavy profit-taking target.
Additionally, China's July retail sales growth was only 0.6%, intensifying market concerns about the global consumer electronics demand recovery. Panic spread quickly in the sector, with Seagate Technology falling over 8% and Western Digital dropping more than 5%.
Storage-related crypto assets also came under pressure, with significant intraday volatility. The geopolitical clouds remain unsettled, combined with previous huge gains, making short-term volatility risks in the storage sector not to be ignored.
#30年期美债收益率创2007年以来新高 #闪迪收涨逾8%，长期协议受关注 Staring at the $BTC and $ETH candlestick charts for a long time, my heartbeat almost synced with them—a bullish candle pushes up, and my blood pressure spikes; two bearish candles drop, and my heart rate falls back to the baseline. The most exhausting is having no direction, even worse than a crash, at least a crash is straightforward.
The rhythm of Bitcoin has indeed changed now. It’s closely following the macro liquidity breathing, relying on the digital gold narrative to attract institutions as a safe-haven position, with a defensive capital mindset. Without catalysts like interest rate cuts, expecting it to actively surge upward is unrealistic.
Ethereum’s ecosystem foundation is solid, but every time it tries to lift its head, selling pressure seems to flood in as if on cue. There are rebounds, but the sustainability is poor. At this stage, it’s okay as a defensive position, but wanting to strengthen independently? That’s quite difficult.
There’s a clear distinction between sectors. $SOL and $OKB show resilience, clearly taking the hits when the market swings back and forth. $AVAX, $FIL, $WLD are weaker, drifting with the tide; without their own story, it’s hard to stand out.
In the mid to long term, the market structure is indeed changing; it’s no longer just Bitcoin fighting alone. Whether the synergy between $BTC and $ETH can hold depends on whether ETF funds can keep flowing in and when the macro liquidity turning point arrives.
The regulatory sword still hangs overhead; legislation is far from landing, and the details remain undecided, continuously eroding the confidence to go long.
The market is exhausting, but don’t let your mindset be worn down. Watch the charts less, rest more, the days are still long.

Key highlights of the meeting: The President personally presides, signaling a strong "breakthrough" This White House crypto industry summit is scheduled for August 19 and will be personally hosted by U.S. President Trump, with unprecedented stature. Star-studded attendees: Participants include representatives from Coinbase, Ripple, a16z, Chainlink, and other crypto industry leaders, as well as, for the first time, traditional financial giants like Nasdaq, CME Group, and DTCC. More importantly, the SEC Chair and CFTC Chair will also attend together, marking the first time for such a deep direct dialogue between the highest levels of regulators and the industry. Core signal: The White House is no longer willing to wait. This summit comes at a time when the CLARITY Act is facing obstacles in the Senate. Industry commentator Nate Geraci commented that the government has decided not to wait for Congress's legislative process any longer and will push forward through executive power regardless of the outcome. This means that Wednesday's meeting may mark a shift in the focus of U.S. crypto regulation—from a protracted legislative battle to rapid rulemaking by the SEC and CFTC within the existing legal framework. Current status of the CLARITY Act: A key vote is imminent, but the probability of passage is very low. In contrast to the White House's proactive actions, the highly anticipated CLARIT$BTC $ETH #财报观察员：小米即将发布财报，你更看好哪条业务线？ 截至 2026年8月18日（周二）13:00 左右，BTC/ETH 已从上周五的 6.25 万–6.28 万箱体向上突破并站回 6.4 万，属于“空头回补+降息预期升温”驱动的修复反弹，不是增量资金单边反转。 📊 实时点位（多源交叉验证） BTC：64,100–64,500 美元（Gate 64,288、CMC 64,091、早盘高点到 64,552），24h 涨 +1.4%~+2.6%，昨夜下探 62,780 后拉回，重新站上 6.4 万整数关。 ETH：1,899–1,912 美元，24h 涨 +1.1%~+2.2%，收回 1,900 心理关+期权痛点，但未破 1,920 日内强压，ETH/BTC 汇率仍卡在 0.0298–0.0302 弱势区。 🌍 为什么突然拉回 6.4 万 宏观压力退潮：7月零售 -0.6%、CPI/PPI 偏软 → 9月加息概率从 51% 降到 33%，维持不变 67%，短端利率定价转鸽，美元指数 99.5 偏弱。 空头被拉爆：过去24h 全网爆仓 1.85–1.86 亿美元，空31亿成交额，只换来0.2%的涨幅——$SNDK 今天的盘面像一场无声的拔河。在 $QQQ 与 $SPY 双双翻绿的背景下，这只存储芯片标的却逆势微涨，成交额冲到全市场前列。是谁在买，谁在卖？ 本文大纲 - 📌 $SNDK 是谁：存储周期核心标的 - ⚔️ 31亿成交额只涨0.2%，资金在赌什么 - 🎯 多空逻辑拆解：高利率逆风 vs 产业周期反转 - 📊 交易策略：等待变盘信号 今日快照 $SNDK 成交额 31.1 亿，+0.2% $QQQ -0.16%，$SPY -0.47% $VIX 15.18，+6.45% $DXY +0.07%，$GLD +1.00% 一、$SNDK 是谁：存储周期核心标的 📌 SanDisk 长期深耕 NAND 闪存，产品覆盖消费级存储卡、U 盘到企业级 SSD。它是存储芯片周期的直接映射，价格波动往往领先于行业财报。近期新闻线里没有直接催化，但今天它出现在热门成交榜，本身就是一个信号——资金开始在这个位置重新定价存储的供需逻辑。 在长端美债收益率创数十年新高的背景下，科技成长股普遍承压，$QQQ 与 $SPY 均小幅下跌，而 $SNDK 逆势微Xiaomi is releasing its earnings report tonight, and three numbers will determine the market's attitude.
Revenue, profit, and automotive gross margin. The first two are likely to look bad, while the third is the real key to the post-market price movement.
The current situation in the smartphone business is "volume down, price up" — shipments have dropped, market share has declined, but the average selling price has hit a new high. Simply put, the move toward high-end is indeed happening, but the volume can't support the overall market. Profit is heavily squeezed by rising storage chip prices, so don't expect any surprises there.
Automotive is the biggest variable tonight. Deliveries exceeded 100,000 units in Q2, the new "Pengcheng" SUV is about to launch, and institutions expect revenue of 26.2 billion and a gross margin above 20%. If the gross margin can hold steady or even exceed expectations, it means that car manufacturing is really starting to make money, which is more important than how many cars are sold.
Personally, I think the smartphone business won't get much worse; the market has already priced that in. The real battleground is automotive — if the gross margin exceeds 20%, tonight's conference call could be a turning point in sentiment.
Back to $BTC, Xiaomi $XIAOMI itself has nothing to do with crypto, but it is a bellwether for Hong Kong tech stocks. If the stock price holds after the earnings report, it shows the market's tolerance for "transitional pains," which is good for the entire risk asset class; if it falls sharply, tech stock sentiment will be dragged down, and $BTC will likely wobble along. #财报观察员：小米即将发布财报，你更看好哪条业务线？ Why was $SNDK bound to drop last night?
I was in a hurry to open a position last night and didn’t have time to analyze, so this article explains it retrospectively.
On one hand, the borrowing fee rate for $SNDK was 0.43%, which is the highest rate in the past 3 months. When I opened the position last night, the market hadn’t closed yet, but by the close, the fee rate remained at 0.43%.
This shows that the demand to borrow $SNDK for short selling in the US stock market is not low.
On the other hand, the blue line below represents the supply volume of $SNDK lent out. While the borrowing fee is rising, the supply volume lent out is decreasing.
In the US stock market, the lender can recall or even sell the lent shares at any time. Recalls may take a few trading days, but selling is almost like the shares were never lent out — it can be executed at market price or placed as a limit order.
Yet, despite this, the supply volume of $SNDK is decreasing. This indicates that holders of $SNDK spot shares are likely selling their holdings, leaving fewer $SNDK shares available to lend.
Therefore, short sellers borrowing $SNDK to sell are driving the borrowing fee higher, while spot holders are likely reducing their positions. That’s why $SNDK was definitely going to drop last night.
As for tonight, the situation is uncertain. Brother Feng has already closed his position, not being greedy, and will watch again when the market opens tonight. Taking news hype as a trend is a pitfall most people have fallen into. SOL rises, whales buy in, so the market should go up? Wrong. There is often an emotional amplifier between on-chain activity and price movement.
2) What is noise and what is useful: Whale buying itself does not constitute a trend; it only indicates that funds are retained in a specific asset. SOL price fluctuations lag behind on-chain behavior and show no synchronous liquidity changes. Payward integrating Claude Mythos is an upgrade in exchange security capabilities, not a direct market signal. The student loan protection bill may affect risk appetite among the US middle class but has no direct transmission path to crypto assets.
The bullish side: Whales rebuilding positions after SOL price lows may reflect a restoration of long-term confidence, and if accompanied by liquidity improvement, could support a short-term rebound. The bearish side: This whale has previously realized huge profits; current buying may be rebalancing rather than chasing gains, so the market still needs to observe subsequent capital flows and protocol security events.
What to continue following: The sustainability of SOL on-chain capital flows and disclosures of protocol-level security incidents. If major vulnerabilities are later revealed or exchange security upgrades are implemented, they will affect market risk appetite judgments.
For information and market scenario analysis only, not investment advice. Crypto assets are highly volatile; please conduct independent research and manage risks.A deal worth over 7 billion USD, with Axios even citing a figure over 8 billion USD, is drawing attention in the tech market: Stripe is acquiring OpenRouter. OpenRouter is an infrastructure layer that allows developers to access hundreds of AI models through a single interface, choose the appropriate model, and optimize costs. The company was previously valued at about 1.3 billion USD in a funding round in May 2026. (Axios) But regarding crypto, I believe: The 7–8 billion USD figure is not the most noteworthy aspect. What is noteworthy is that Stripe is acquiring a position located gi S&P earnings exceeded expectations, yet Wall Street remains cautious, which is actually reasonable
Because what the market lacks most now is not good news, but better news
Q2 earnings reports are strong, many companies have beaten earnings expectations, and the US stock market is near its highs. But target prices have not been wildly raised, indicating strategists also know: when the index has already risen to this level, ordinary beats are just fulfilling the ticket price and cannot automatically become fuel for the next rally
What I fear most about the US stock market now is a certain state
Companies are doing well, stock prices are better, and investor sentiment is at its best. When these three things happen simultaneously, the margin for error becomes very low. From then on, as soon as AI capital expenditure cools down, consumption weakens, oil price disturbances occur, or interest rate expectations fluctuate, any one of these variables could make valuations struggle to breathe
High levels don’t mean you can’t buy
But at high levels, the most annoying earnings reports are those that say "good enough"
#标普盈利超预期，华尔街为何仍谨慎？ AI 基本面现在最值得盯的，不是一个标题，而是三张表。
① 供应端兑现
英伟达 FY27 Q1 数据中心收入为752亿美元，环比增长21%、同比增长92%。
② 买方资本开支
微软 FY26 Q3 资本开支为319亿美元，其中约三分之二用于以GPU和CPU为主的短寿命资产。
Meta 2026年Q2资本开支为310.8亿美元（含融资租赁本金），并给出2026年1300—1450亿美元的资本开支指引。
③ 期权不是方向投票器
Cboe 报告称，2026年Q2美股上市期权日均成交量为7280万张，较上年同期增长超过19%；NVIDIA和Tesla各占单股期权成交量的9%。
我的读法是：这条链路已经从“讲算力故事”走到“资本开支—供应商收入—估值与波动率”的交叉验证阶段。
所以期权端不要只看 call/put 单一数字。更应同时看：隐含波动率相对实际波动、财报附近的到期日集中、行权价与未平仓量的分布。它们描述的是定价和风险承受，不是自动给出方向。
反向情景也很清楚：若资本开支继续上行、但收入与使用量不能覆盖折旧和更高的组件成本，市场会重新定价这条链的回报率。
如果只能选一个领先8月18日，港股AI板块迎来一轮显著调整，被市场称为“大模型双雄”的智谱与MiniMax双双出现大幅下挫，其中智谱盘中跌幅超过13%，MiniMax也同步跌逾10%，引发整个AI产业链的广泛关注。 这并非两家公司首次出现大幅波动，早在此前的解禁窗口，港股大模型新股就曾经历过一轮剧烈的估值回调，而本次调整，更像是前期市场情绪与行业基本面矛盾的集中释放。 从当日盘面来看，AI板块整体呈现普跌态势，科创50同步出现明显回撤，产业链上下游的光模块、算力硬件标的也随之下行。对比两家头部大模型企业的表现可以发现，二者的下跌并非完全同步：智谱在前期解禁阶段曾因流通盘占比较小，出现了解禁当日股价逆势上涨的行情，而本次却未能延续此前的韧性，跌幅反而超过了流通盘更大的MiniMax。 这一差异背后，是市场对两家公司后续增长逻辑的重新审视——智谱此前凭借多行业的落地案例，在一级市场积累了较高的估值溢价，而随着二级市场对“投入产出比”的要求持续提升，单纯的收入扩张故事已经难以支撑此前的高估值。 回顾这一轮AI资产的调整脉络，早在数月前市场就已经埋下了回调的伏笔。当时A股和港股的AI资产普遍承压，科创50最大回#30-year US Treasury yield hits highest since 2007
The biggest pie in history often hides the deadliest trap.
The 30-year US Treasury yield surged to 5.31%, directly breaking through the floor set since the 2007 financial crisis. Stop fixating on whether the Fed will cut rates or not; what the market truly fears now is this “valuation guillotine” hanging over global assets!
This long bond rally is a perfect “bloodsucking” storm: the US fiscal deficit is completely out of control, long bonds are being issued frantically; AI giants are borrowing heavily to build data centers, fiercely competing with the US government for funds; plus the oil price rebound adds fuel to the fire, causing overseas buyers to retreat.
What’s the most painful? When the risk-free yield easily stands above 5%, the big pie in your hand doesn’t even generate interest! Over the past year, $BTC dropped 46%, while gold surged 32% against the trend. Capital chases profits; if buying government bonds lying down can beat inflation, who would take on zero-yield risky assets in a high-interest environment?
The big trend isn’t dead, but the upcoming market will definitely be a grueling “lingchi” (slow slicing).
A life-saving tip for all traders: don’t bet heavily at this critical moment! Reduce your positions to a level that lets you sleep peacefully at night. Until long-term rates truly turn downward, hold tight to your money and watch more, act less. When this “valuation guillotine” is completely dulled, then we can talk about adding positions and planning!
Respect the market, protect your principal, and wishing everyone to survive the cold winter and trade smoothly!

Institutions have not left the market; they are simply waiting. 📊
CME $BTC volume dropped to 2,326 contracts as the premium narrowed to $584.
Traders are waiting for the August 19 White House meeting and August 26 PCE data before making a move.
This consolidation looks like a buildup of strength, not exhaustion.
Without macro hedging tools on CME, $ETH continues to lag behind $BTC.Xiaomi's Q2 financial report is about to be unveiled, and the company's four core tracks are now completely differentiated: some are under pressure and grinding the bottom, some are holding the ground, and some carry future valuation potential. Break down each business line and clearly explain the fundamentals, risks, and financial highlights all at once. 1. Smartphones: Short-term pressure, currently controlling volume to protect gross margins. Current situation: Rising storage chip prices and a global smartphone market are sluggish, with significant pressure from declining domestic shipments. Xiaomi proactively reduced its low-end models, abandoned pure sales growth, and pursued a high-end price hike strategy, sacrificing some sales to preserve profit margins. What should the financial report focus on? The core indicator is just one: whether the phone's gross margin can hold in the 8%-10% range. As long as gross margin stops falling, it means cost pressures are being absorbed, and price increases and product structure optimization strategies are beginning to show results; If gross profit continues to decline, it would be the biggest negative signal this quarter. Opportunities & Risks ✅ Positive: Storage price increases are slowing, cost pressure marginally eases in the second half of the year, and overseas markets are more ❌ resilient. Risk: Domestic competition is intensifying, with ongoing price wars squeezing profit margins. Positioning: Basic business, seeking stability rather than explosive growth. 2. Smart Electric Vehicles: Highest market attention, a key factor for valuation. Current Status: Achieved full-year profitability last year, setting the fastest profit record for new forces. After entering 2026, orders entered a phased off-season, with deliveries falling quarter-on-quarter in the first quarter, intensified industry competition, and per-vehicle prices under pressure. What should the financial report focus on? Q2 deliveries, gross margin per vehicle, revenue scale, and management's attitude toward the annual delivery target of 550,000 units—will they be lowered?A brief review of the recent $WLD market trend: this round of movement is a typical case of news-driven speculation, where the positive news is fully priced in and then the price falls back.
Previously, Grayscale submitted a spot ETF application, briefly igniting market sentiment. However, the market quickly returned to rationality; submitting an ETF application does not equal approval. It was purely short-term speculative hype without substantial fundamental support. As the positive news was fully digested, speculative funds quickly withdrew, and the coin price fell back to $0.3286, with a single-day drop close to 9%.
Setting aside short-term positives, the core risks of WLD have always existed. Grayscale's filing clearly indicates that the project's tokens are highly concentrated, with the top 100 holders owning about 90% of the circulating tokens. Meanwhile, the team and early investors have unlocking periods lasting several years, continuously exerting selling pressure that suppresses the market. Coupled with previous large holders exiting, market confidence in going long has been weak.
On the chart, the $0.35 range is a stubborn strong resistance, with multiple rebounds blocked and falling back. Recently, after breaking the $0.33 support, that level has turned into short-term resistance. The current price only has weak psychological support, with core defense levels concentrated between $0.306 and $0.31. Once these are effectively broken, a new round of downside space will open. Currently, derivatives longs are continuously withdrawing, sellers dominate, and the foundation for a rebound is very unstable.
Although the daily token unlocking volume has been slightly reduced later on, easing selling pressure somewhat, this is a slow variable and cannot reverse the short-term weakness. Moreover, WLD has plummeted over 97% from its high, with a massive amount of trapped positions piled up above, and every rebound is accompanied by heavy selling pressure.
My view: Although WLD has a narrative and real users, the token structure flaws are a hard weakness. Short-term positives are unlikely to change the long-term weak pattern. Operationally, bottom-fishing on the left side is not recommended. Holders should closely watch core supports, strictly manage risk on breakdowns, and decisively reduce positions if rebounds meet resistance; those outside the market should patiently wait for clear signals of stabilization or volume breakout, watching more and acting less.

#30年期美债收益率创2007年以来新高
#交易之声：你的经验值得被听到
#闪迪收涨逾8%，长期协议受关注 Zhipu has been continuously falling; is there still a chance later?
Recently, Zhipu has dropped from around HKD 180 to HKD 130, a short-term decline of nearly 28%. For an AI leader with a huge previous increase, this round of adjustment seems more like the market digesting high valuations and profit-taking rather than the AI industry logic suddenly ending.
From the global AI industry trend perspective, competition in large models is shifting from purely parameters and model capabilities to AI Agents, Coding, enterprise applications, and commercialization. Zhipu previously gained market attention with its GLM series models and Coding direction, and the long-term growth logic still exists. (TMTPost)
However, short-term valuation pressure must be noted. After listing, Zhipu once surged to a market value of one trillion HKD, then entered lock-up expiration and financing stages. The market is readjusting the pricing of high-valuation AI companies. In July, the company also announced a placement financing plan of about HKD 31.4 billion, with funds mainly used for model R&D, computing power, and commercialization. This is a long-term positive but also means the market needs to digest the new shares. (The Paper)
HKD 130 is currently a very critical level.
If it stabilizes near 130 and rebounds with volume, the first target is HKD 145–150; after breaking through, look at HKD 160–180.
If 130 is effectively broken down, further pullbacks need to be guarded against, with the next observation area around HKD 115–120.
My judgment: short-term is weak, but mid-to-long-term still sees AI growth logic. Near 130, it is more important to observe a stop in the decline rather than blindly bottom-fishing. A quick glance at the contract gain and loss leaderboard at midday is honestly quite interesting—the gains are inexplicably high, while the losses are reasonable and justified; the market is quite unbalanced.
First, let's look at the gains.
$PIEVERSE rose 16 points, a metaverse concept pulse; with a small market cap, it indeed rallies quickly, but as for sustainability, those who understand know.
Both $SKDD and $SOXS made the list; one shorts Hynix, the other is a triple short semiconductor ETF, indicating pressure on the US stock storage and chip sectors, with some hedging going on. $H plunged 23 points yesterday and rebounded 7.5 points today, with a turnover close to 7 billion; the battle between bulls and bears is fierce, riding this rollercoaster is stomach-churning.
$CAP rose 5.7 points, with turnover hitting 10.5 billion; big money is active on the floor, but profit-taking could happen anytime.
$OFC, $COMP, $VVV, and $OPN are either small caps entertaining themselves, old brands rebounding from oversold levels, or new coin guerrilla warfare, with no solid logic supporting them.
The most eye-catching remains $GPS—with a turnover as high as 26 billion but a gain of only 5 points. Huge capital is actively rotating inside, yet the price cannot be pushed up; this scene looks awkward no matter how you see it. Either the bull-bear disagreement is terrifyingly large, or someone is quietly retreating through massive rotation. Either way, caution is warranted.
Now, the losses.
The AI sector was collectively crushed today.
$ZHIPU led the losses with a 17-point drop, $MINIMAX fell 13%, $KAITO down 11%, $WLD down 9%; these popular coins propped up by concepts recently saw capital exit more swiftly than they rose. $KORU, a triple long Korean ETF, dropped 12 points, indicating the Korean market is also struggling. $KIOXIA, the storage leader, fell 9 points, showing a clear sentiment reversal in the storage sector. Old small coins like $GALA and $SLX have no new stories to tell, merely following the broader market's breath, passively taking hits.
A few interesting details combined reveal some insights. At the top of the gainers are two ETFs shorting US semiconductor stocks, while among the losers are storage leader $KIOXIA and a bunch of AI concept coins—the global tech sector is undergoing a correction, and the crypto world can hardly stay unaffected. Capital is continuously withdrawing from previously hot sectors like AI and storage; this is not retail behavior but systematic portfolio adjustment.
$H fell yesterday and rose today, basically a high-volatility stock with both bulls and bears getting hit. Chasing gains and cutting losses on such stocks easily results in getting slapped back and forth. The massive stagnation of $GPS is even more alarming; huge volume without price movement often signals an impending market shift, with uncertain direction but guaranteed volatility.
The midday strategy is summed up in four words: keep your hands off. Without clear signals of capital dispersion, sudden bullish candles are mostly traps. Wait for the direction guidance after the US market opens; don’t rush in—better to see clearly before making a move.
#30年期美债收益率创2007年以来新高 So, we only need to track the MLCC cycle:
ComponentNews has classified the shortage level of multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCC) for servers as "severe," as reported by ETNews:
According to DigiKey's shipment data, the delivery cycle for some high-capacitance MLCCs from $SAMSUNG Samsung has reached about 40 weeks.
Earlier this year, broader reports showed a runtime of about 20 weeks, so the MLCC bottleneck issue for AI servers continues to worsen.
- Murata was about 24 weeks pregnant in June.
In July, some babies were about 30 weeks gestational age. Now some babies have reached about 36 weeks gestational age.
This is interesting:
"The expansion plan for new capacity will be postponed from Q4 2026 to 2027."
It didn't specify which company's expansion project... maybe Murata? But if the capacity expansion project really stalls, the bottleneck issue should become more severe in the short term.
Delivery cycles are a good way to track demand imbalances. #财报观察员：小米即将发布财报，你更看好哪条业务线？ #30年期美债收益率创2007年以来新高 #闪迪收涨逾8%，长期协议受关注 $PIEVERSE 今天突然大涨。 我在五天之前写了一篇文章，文章里我说它很有可能突破一块，现在它的高点真的突破一块了。 虽然它现在已经突破一块了，到达了我一开始定下的目标价，但是我不打算现在止盈。 我认为，上涨还远远没有结束。 —————————————————— 我们看一下它的合约数据。 可以发现，$PIEVERSE 的合约持仓量在逐步上涨，对应的多空比也在上升。 这说明，在它上涨的阶段，是有很多的资金在做空的。 我先前经常讲，有人做空并不等于说一定要跌，要具体问题具体分析。 我们再来看一下它长一点时间的数据。 可以发现，它现在的合约持仓量还没有到达之前的高点，合约多空比也没有到达之前的低点。 这就意味着，现在做空的力量并没有之前强，它很有可能还没有到达这轮上涨的顶点。 —————————————————— 在这个不同寻常的时候，$PIEVERSE 有如此的表现，不由得让我想起了之前的一些妖币。 妖币往往是在这种没什么行情的时候出现的。 在我印象里，之前市场没什么行情的时候，基本上能持续上涨的就是各种各样的妖币。 除了妖币之外，多数币都是一波流式的上涨，没有什么持续性。 所以，这也BTC had three major bullish catalysts this week: a surprising NFP report, roughly $750M in ETF inflows, and U.S. equities pushing to fresh all-time highs.
Yet Bitcoin barely responded.
BTC has mostly stayed around $65K, struggling to break convincingly in either direction. So why isn’t the price reacting to all the positive news?
What some see as bullish confirmation, I see differently: volume remains weak, $65K has rejected price four times, and buyers haven’t been able to maintain control.
The issue isn’t necessarily that the market doesn’t want to move higher. It’s that buyers currently lack enough strength to push BTC through resistance.
The key question now is what happens after next week’s CPI release.
I’ll break down the real market conditions this week, separate the genuine bullish signals from the warning signs, and outline the three most likely scenarios for BTC after CPI.
By then, we should have a much clearer picture of where the next major move could come from.

I am Yuvi, only talk logic, no trade calls. See you tomorrow. #BTC dormant supply hits a new high, scarcity gains renewed attention #BTC trading volume shrinks, can ETF buying rebound? Currently, an extremely fragmented and surreal market is appearing on-chain:
The total market cap of stablecoins across the network has surpassed $170 billion, setting a new all-time high.
According to previous cycles, continuous expansion of stablecoins = ample off-exchange ammunition = altcoin bull market begins.
But this round is completely different:
Capital levels are at an all-time high, yet 90% of altcoins continue to decline steadily, liquidity is drying up, and they keep bleeding.
Hundreds of billions of incremental USDT/USDC are on-chain, so why won’t they flow into altcoins?
The core truth: the use cases for stablecoin funds have completely changed.
Previously, stablecoins:
Were entirely speculative funds, used for trading crypto, farming altcoins, and market speculation.
Now, stablecoins have three major destinations completely detached from secondary market speculation:
🔹1. RWA tokenized U.S. Treasury yield farming (largest diversion)
Whales and institutions massively enter U.S. Treasury yield protocols, earning about 5% risk-free returns.
This hundreds of billions in funds only earn steady returns without risk and will never take on volatile altcoins.
🔹2. Cross-border real trade settlement
Large amounts of USDT are used in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America for remittances, trade settlements, and inflation hedging.
These are payment circulation funds, not speculative capital, and have no relation to altcoin market trends.
🔹3. Institutional low-risk arbitrage
Traditional funds only engage in futures-spot arbitrage and conservative strategies, avoiding altcoin speculation and emotional trading.
Conclusion is very sobering
More dollars on-chain ≠ more bull market buying
Incremental funds are largely diverted to U.S. Treasury yields, real trade settlements, and institutional conservative holdings.
Pure speculative funds used to pump altcoins are severely diluted.
At the same time, BTC dormant supply continues to hit new highs, with increasing coin lock-up, and scarcity is once again valued by the market.
The future market logic is completely rewritten:
✅ Mainstream, BTC, and quality assets absorb liquidity
❌ Old altcoins and narrative-less low-quality tokens continue bleeding and declining steadily
The era of blindly hoarding altcoins and waiting for a broad surge to get rich is completely over.
📌 Current core trading mindset
Capital layering is obvious, and market structure is very strong.
Instead of hiding in a bunch of trapped altcoins that drain patience, it’s better to follow the logic of big money:
Focus on mainstream, avoid altcoins; prioritize certainty, abandon narrative-less weak tokens. There is no consistent pricing on the macro front; the short-term pullback of the US Dollar Index only brings a weak recovery, and the market lacks a one-sided drive. ALLO focuses more on its own order book; the four-hour naked K-line has continuously closed with long lower shadows below 0.290, with two pin bars around 0.294 indicating a rebound, showing obvious support at low levels. When the red light was on, I took the phone off the stand and swiped twice. Contract open interest is moderately increasing during the sideways phase, funding rates are slightly negative, and bearish sentiment is overly consistent. As long as the market does not continue to break down, short covering can easily trigger a rebound with this structure. Light long positions can be tried on a pullback from 0.289 to 0.294, with a stop loss at 0.281; if it breaks below the previous low dense trading area, exit the position. The first take profit is at 0.309, the second at 0.318, only capturing this segment of the rebound, no broader pattern.

SanDisk rose more than 8%, with long-term agreements drawing attention
SanDisk has surged 40% in five days; the market is pricing in not the Q4 earnings report, but the narrative that “storage is shifting from a cyclical product to infrastructure.” The NBM long-term contract locks in a guaranteed revenue of $93.9 billion, which the market believes, but the cyclical memory of storage has not been completely forgotten.
Specific data: On August 17, the closing price rose 8.88% to $1786.85, with a trading volume of $33.9 billion, topping the US market. Since the investor day on August 13, the cumulative increase has exceeded 40%.
The core driver is the NBM long-term contract. Eight agreements cover eight customers, guaranteeing $93.9 billion in minimum revenue, with remaining performance obligations of $91.1 billion. Over 50% of shipments for fiscal year 2027 and about two-thirds for fiscal year 2028 are already locked in. Supporting the long-term goals for 2028-2030: mid-to-high double-digit revenue growth, approximately 80% gross margin, and about 75% operating profit margin.
Institutions are collectively taking positions: Goldman Sachs at 2200, JPMorgan at 2250, Bank of America at 2500. But Wedbush maintains 2000, bluntly stating “storage is always cyclical.”
Remember, the $93.9 billion guaranteed revenue is a hard number, but a 40% rise in five days and a market cap increase of over $70 billion means expectations are already very high. The long-term contract locks in price but cannot lock in demand fluctuations.
$SNDK #财报观察员：小米即将发布财报，你更看好哪条业务线？
If I could only choose one, I am more optimistic about Xiaomi's automotive business.
The smartphone business is Xiaomi's foundation, but the path to high-end has entered deep waters, and the growth space driven by hardware specs is becoming increasingly limited. Smartphones can remain stable, but it is difficult for them to become the core variable that re-prices Xiaomi in the market.
What could truly change Xiaomi's valuation logic is the automotive sector.
Many people think car manufacturing is a money-burning project, but I believe Xiaomi's greatest advantage is not building a car, but connecting phones, smart homes, and car systems. The future competition may not be about how well a single product sells, but about who can control the entry points to users' life scenarios.
Of course, the automotive business is not without pressure. Delivery, supply chain, and profit margins are all issues that must be faced. If the automotive business only stays at "selling cars," its value is limited; but if it can become the core entry point of the "people-car-home ecosystem," Xiaomi's potential will be completely different.
So I am paying more attention to several details in this earnings report: whether the automotive business's gross margin has improved, whether the smart ecosystem continues to grow, and whether R&D investment is beginning to translate into long-term competitiveness.
Smartphones determine Xiaomi's current position; cars determine Xiaomi's future height.
