I believe the Fed is very likely to hold steady in September, and may even send hawkish signals due to a rebound in inflation expectations. Don't get your hopes up too much for rate cuts. Retail sales in July unexpectedly fell 0.6% month-on-month, which is quite shocking, marking the largest drop since May 2025. When I was watching the market last Friday, I originally thought the consumption data was just a minor adjustment, but this completely shattered the market's expectations for the necessity of a rate hike in September. However, don't take this as a sign of good news, because Michigan's consumer confidence index fell to 51.0, while the one-year inflation expectation actually rose from 4.2% to 4.3%. This is the most typical sign of "stagflation": ordinary people don't dare to spend money but feel that prices are still rising. In this environment, the Fed is feeling very uneasy—raising rates fears it could shake the economy, and not raising rates risks losing control of inflation. So I believe that the dollar and short-term US Treasury yields will come under pressure going forward, but that doesn't mean risk assets can go wild. For gold and BTC, this is indeed a support logic, but I advise against going all-in on rate cuts. Before the data was released, I had already closed out all my loose coins and stocks, adding a bit of gold and Dabing Erbing. Because if inflation expectations continue to rise, interest rates will remain high for longer than the market anticipates, and the two Bing of BTC could actually be an opportunity. Chasing high-risk assets at this time can easily become a victim of the "stagflation" narrative. The current strategy should be: watch more, act less, and wait for clearer signs of recession or proof that inflation has fully fallenWhen Nvidia shook the market with $500 billion in financing, the most nervous people weren't the stock bulls, but bond traders. What they see is a crack in the $7 billion shadow credit in the AI industry, which is being widened by a chip giant. Outline - 🔍 Why $NVDA Riding the Wave Today - ⚔️ $500 Billion Financing: Growth Story or Credit Bomb - 📊 Long-Bear Game: AI Demand Is Real, But Is Capital Expenditure Sustainable? - 🎯 How to Participate: Wait for Risk Release, Don't Rush to Chase Today's Snapshot $BTC 63,044, -0.03% $ETH 1,880, -0.16% $QQQ -0.14%, $SPY -0.20% $DXY -0.31%, $GLD +0.63% $ IBIT -0.70% The hottest trading volume in the crypto market: $ETH 24H turnover was 990 million, $BTC 810 million. 1. Why $NVDA Trending 🔍 Today The market was generally calm, $QQQ -0.14%, $SPY -0.20%, but the most eye-catching news came from Nvidia: a $500 billion financing deal pushed the AI chip giant's capital game to new heights. This is not ordinary corporate financing; it directly touches the most sensitive nerve in the bond market—AI companies have already accumulated $7 billion in shadowOn the surface, Bitcoin has been hovering around the 63,000 USD mark in recent days, but inside, the story is much more thought-provoking. 📉 As of August 15, BTC fluctuated around 63,000 USD after once surpassing 65,000 USD and then quickly turning back. The issue is not the range, but how the market reacts to good news. The subtlety is that the macro environment has not suddenly worsened. The US stock market remains strong, but Bitcoin lacks the necessary resilience. Good news does not translate into an upward momentum, silenceRegarding SK Hynix's capacity expansion, the market should focus not on "how much more is produced" but on whether it has relearned restraint.
AI servers, HBM, and enterprise-grade SSDs have indeed pushed storage demand into a new cycle. SK Hynix's capacity expansion in Dalian, China, and Solidigm being repeatedly discussed in the market sound like a pro-cyclical acceleration. But the harshest reality in the storage industry is this: every profitable cycle easily turns into a capacity expansion race.
I don't think capacity expansion itself is wrong.
The issue is how solid the customer demand really is, whether long-term contracts can lock in profits, and whether AI giants will still be willing to pay today's prices when supply is released. The bull market in storage stocks has never been explained simply by the phrase "demand is very good."
It profits from cycles but fears most that everyone forgets the cycle.
#海力士扩产提速，资本开支能否兑现回报 #ETF buying reversal, BTC leverage positions rising
It seems the main players are about to make a big move recently and have already started positioning.
The wind of capital should blow through the crypto space this time!
ETF is running, leverage is increasing, and seeing these two together is really contradictory. Last week, BTC spot ETF had a net outflow of nearly 400 million, but futures open interest and funding rates both went up. What does this mean? It means institutions are withdrawing, but speculative funds are still rushing in. Both sides are not coordinated and are moving independently.
Weak spot buying is a fact; ETF funds are the real allocation funds. If they don't buy, the price lacks a bottom support. Leverage funds are different—they are borrowed money with interest costs and can't support the market for long. Futures contracts must settle on their due date. If the price stays flat or drops slightly, and the long funding rate rises, the holding cost will force people out. When leverage loosens, the stampede will be faster than anyone else.
So in the current situation, the most important thing to watch is not the $BTC Bitcoin price, but whether ETF net inflows can turn positive again—that is the real signal of spot buying returning. Leverage position data must also be monitored; if open interest continues to rise but the price doesn't move, that's a typical crowded long position, and liquidation is near.
My operation: I’m holding BTC steady, waiting for a clear direction. I have a small long position in Ethereum because I believe $ETH's rebound strength is better than BTC's.
Other spot positions are neither reduced nor increased; I’ll let the market find its direction first. Before spot and leverage reach consensus, making a move is just giving away heads. Patience is more valuable than anything. The more revealing gap is not between the S&P 500 and 8,000, but between earnings delivery and strategist conviction. With over 90% of Q2 results in, profit growth reached 31% year on year versus 23% expected, while the index finished Friday at 7,785.76.
That outperformance has compressed forward valuation from roughly 26x to below 22x even as prices rose. My read: 8,000 is plausible if AI-related margin gains broaden, but the modest 7,894 year-end target shows investors still need evidence that revenue can withstand softer consumption. The next leg depends more on earnings breadth than multiple expansion.
Not advice, just analysis.
#SP500EarningsGapLet's study the symmetry patterns of $BTC market trends.
When a bull market reaches its mid-to-late stage, the depth of each pullback keeps increasing.
And now, the exact same rhythm is playing out in reverse.
The macro trend remains downward, but as the bear market gradually enters its latter half, each round of rebounds becomes more intense and aggressive.
There will be another wave of declines ahead, and this drop will convince the vast majority of market participants that BTC is about to enter a new accelerated decline.
But in my view, after this round of decline, there is likely to be the largest rebound in this bear market.
$ETH $OKB
#ETF买盘反转, BTC leverage positions have rebounded
#AI押注受挫, Wall Street trading giants lost $15 billion in the month
#OpenAI与Anthropic估值竞赛升温 This round of dollar decline is likely to suppress the emergence of altcoin season.
The market often directly interprets a weaker dollar as positive for risk assets, but in fact, there are two completely different economic environments behind the dollar's decline.
The first is global growth recovery.
Manufacturing, trade, credit, and corporate profits outside the US improve simultaneously, and capital flows from dollar assets to global risk assets. This environment is most favorable for altcoins because altcoins inherently have high growth, long duration, and high financing dependency characteristics.
The second is the deterioration of US fiscal credit or policy credibility.
The dollar falls, but long-term real interest rates continue to rise. At this time, funds will buy gold, BTC, short-duration cash instruments, and assets with pricing power, while avoiding long-term projects lacking cash flow.
Dollar down, BTC up, gold up, altcoins continue to bleed—this is the norm in the second scenario.
The 2022 bear market came from a strong dollar; unfortunately, when the dollar begins to tentatively weaken, altcoins will instead face a new harsh environment.
In this environment, BTC is treated as a monetary asset, while altcoins are still regarded as high-risk tech stocks.
This leads to a divergence in valuation drivers despite both sharing the crypto label: BTC benefits from sovereign credit concerns, while altcoins are suppressed by financing costs and the discounting of future cash flows.
In this cycle, the BTC bull market and the crypto bull market will become two different concepts. $BTC $ETH $OKB ETF买盘反转和杠杆仓位回升听着都偏多，但利好不是永久有效。相关话题重新出现在首页时，比特币仍围着63100美元震荡，以太坊约1883美元、跌幅约0.12%，说明价格暂时没有给出同等强度的回应。 我给这类消息一个观察窗口：接下来十五分钟内，比特币要抬高短线高点，以太坊要收复1885且不再转弱；若热度继续上升、两币却原地踏步，利好就该折价。你会给消息多长时间证明自己有效？$ETH $BTC Brothers, those who are bold and want to take a bite, $BEAT is ready for bottom-fishing!
The positive signals have already been sent out. Because the coin I bought has been falling continuously, I found that it has pretty much bottomed out.
This coin once surged to a high of $10.99, now it's only $0.39, down more than 96% from the peak, not even a fraction left.
First, a full drop is an opportunity. From 10.99 down to 0.39, all the panic sellers have fled, and those cutting losses are exhausted. With such a drop, there is huge room for a technical rebound.
Second, the project itself has a solid foundation. BEAT is the token of the Audiera ecosystem, based on the IP of "Audition" with 600 million users, combining AI music, rhythm games, and on-chain economy—not just empty hype. The project also has a weekly platform revenue buyback and burn mechanism, with over 17 million tokens burned cumulatively.
Third, the massive unlock on August 1st, which was bearish, has been fully digested. At that time, 21.25 million BEAT tokens were unlocked, worth over $80 million, which directly crashed the price. Now the selling pressure has mostly eased, and those who needed to run have already run.
I opened an isolated margin long position at an average entry price of 0.3935, current price 0.3935, testing the waters with a small position, liquidation price at 0.2679, stop loss set, no big issues.
I’m not expecting to break even, just hoping to get a little return! Brothers, what do you think?

#消费动能转弱，9月政策仍受通胀制约 $BTC is sitting quietly near $63K, but the more interesting story isn't on the price chart — it's happening at the power plant.
Riot Platforms just locked in a 20-year, $9.1 billion deal to lease compute capacity to Anthropic, converting part of its Texas mining campus into AI infrastructure. It's not an isolated move — miners across the sector are realizing the same thing: the land, grid connections, and cooling systems built for hashing blocks are exactly what AI data centers need, and they're already sitting there, ready to go.
That's the real shift worth watching. Bitcoin doesn't need AI hype to push its price — it just needs the physical backbone of mining to become more valuable in its own right. If that trend keeps building, the mining sector stops being a pure crypto bet and starts looking like an infrastructure play with a completely different valuation story attached.
Power, land, and compute — not hashing power alone — may be what actually moves this sector next.
Not financial advice.
#WeakConsumptionFedSplit #SP500EarningsGap #BTCETFsVsLeverage Crypto market liquidity weakened over the weekend, with multiple risk events unresolved and market participants generally holding their coins on the sidelines. ETF capital flows reversed, Bitcoin leveraged positions rebounded simultaneously, while Ethereum showed a pattern of both capital outflows and leverage rallying, leading to cautious market sentiment. Last week, US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a net inflow of $1.1 billion, but on Monday this week turned to a net outflow of $145 million, indicating institutional buying momentum has temporarily stopped. Meanwhile, Bitcoin futures open interest rebounded to 765,820 contracts, with a nominal value of about $49.2 billion. The funding rate remained positive, indicating that leveraged bulls are accumulating again. On Ethereum, funds continue to withdraw, but contract positions also rose, with both bulls and bears waiting for their counterparts to act first. Geopolitical risk has become a key variable at next week's open. The Strait of Hormuz agreement is still awaiting signing, with the U.S. side clearly opposing it and Iran making no concessions. Trump has indicated he may declare the strait "U.S. territory," and if this statement is officially released on Monday's trading day, Brent crude oil prices are expected to jump at least 3%. Currently, it is the weekend, and futures markets are closed. Risk factors including oil prices, ETF subscriptions, and leverage liquidations will be consolidated after the market opens at 9 a.m. on Monday. Analysts point out that if crude oil prices catch up by 3% on Monday, rising inflation expectations will push U.S. Treasury yields higher, and Bitcoin may face short-term downward pressure. If ETF outflows continue, combined with concentrated leveraged long positions, the market may trigger a chain liquidation, posing downward risk for prices. Currently, selling is under pressure$H shares some similarities with previous small-cap, high-control coins like $LAB and $BEAT, including the crucial question of what the address occupancy rate is.
Current status of HU (H)
Humanity Protocol focuses on Proof of Humanity (real identity verification) + AI anti-bot track, belonging to the AI + DID (decentralized identity) narrative. In the first half of 2026, it was favored by capital due to the AI identity verification concept.
However, the project experienced a significant security incident this year, causing the token to plummet. Subsequently, token migration and reconstruction took place, which affected market trust.
Will it be like LAB or RAVE?
From the perspective of the manipulators' behavior:
LAB/RAVE
* Extremely small circulating supply
* Top 10 addresses hold concentrated positions
* Market-making funds clearly control the supply
* Shallow pullbacks during rallies
* Typical "small coin pump-and-dump" pattern
Whereas HU
* Significantly larger market cap
* Listed on more exchanges
* Circulating tokens are relatively dispersed
* Supported by a real project narrative
Therefore:
➡️ HU is not a pure pump-and-dump coin like LAB.
But:
➡️ HU may experience "narrative-driven pump + unlocking and selling".
Because it still has a large amount of unreleased tokens, with FDV (fully diluted valuation) far exceeding the circulating market cap, future unlocks will continue to exert selling pressure.
Which stage does it currently resemble more?
I believe it is closer to:
Stage Two: Post-pump token exchange
Characteristics:
* Volume expands during price increases
* Starts to consolidate at high levels
* Positive news decreases
* Funds begin rotating to new hotspots
If in the future there is:
* Volume surges but price struggles to rise
* Large whale addresses continuously transfer tokens to exchanges
* Repeated spikes followed by pullbacks
Then be cautious: the manipulators may be pumping while selling.$DOGE price has once again dipped into the historically deeply undervalued zone of the CVDD channel, with repeated battles between bulls and bears around the $0.07 mark intertwined with large holders consolidating their chips. The core contradiction lies in whether the bottom turnover can solidify into an effective price support zone.
The market has repeatedly tested the $0.07 support and, after breaking below, has reclaimed it. Short-term volatility is compressed within this dense turnover range. The price is already at a historically deeply undervalued position in the CVDD channel, possessing strong potential momentum for mean reversion.
In terms of driving factors, large on-chain holders accumulating 680 million tokens against the trend have changed the chip thickness at the support level, becoming the dominant variable preventing a continuous short-term decline. Historical mean reversion momentum acts as a secondary variable, influencing the duration of the subsequent rebound.
The bullish scenario triggers if the price continuously holds above $0.07 and the lower shadow area completes turnover consolidation under low volume. If this condition is met, the market is expected to rely on the historical lower boundary to carry out a valuation recovery over several months.
The bearish scenario triggers if passive support at the $0.07 mark loses control and large chips show signs of loosening. At this point, the price will lose its support buffer and enter a weak oscillation clearance phase.
The structural failure point is confirmed if the daily close falls below the $0.067 defense line. If $0.067 is breached, the bottom support structure will directly fail, triggering a deeper liquidity clearance.
The most important variable to watch in the next 7 days is whether the $0.07 mark can complete chip consolidation in the lower shadow area during low-volume oscillation.
#霍尔木兹协议待落地，原油风险等待定价 #英伟达深入AI资本链，协同与风险如何平衡 #韩股十日反弹逾22%，芯片股领涨Whether this round of SOL has heated up can be answered with speed; Whether the market is biased or not depends on another set of figures. OKX Onchain OS recorded 25 mentions in one hour on SOL at 09:00 on August 16, including 25 mentions of X and 0 news articles; The total volume in 24 hours was 464 times. The latest hour is 1.29 times the hourly average for Long Windows, or about 29% higher than the 24-hour average, which can be considered a 'slight acceleration.' This speed describes new discussions and is not necessarily related to market fluctuations. The tone of the text is 64% bullish, 4% bearish, and about 32% neutral, currently indicating a clear bullish dominance. 55% bullish on the 24-hour side, 10% bearish; If there is a gap between the two windows, it should first be understood as a change in the discussion structure, rather than directly deriving a price target. I will draw these two lines separately. If the tone is too heavy but the speed of mention is slower, it means the current discussion is more positive, but the new attention hasn't accelerated; If mentions are rising and bearish are dominant, it may be risk or fault news attracting people. Even if the hype and tone are in the same direction, it still cannot be directly equated with genuine buying. Source is another limitation. Currently, SOL is "almost entirely driven by X." Social channels respond fastest, and the same topic can be reposted repeatedly; The more concentrated the source, the more the next window needs confirmation. News mentions that an increase does not automatically mean the event is true; the original announcement remains the final verifying standard. OKB 突破 100 美元那天，我突然想起七月那个说"等 BTC 跌到 3 万再买"的朋友。 那些执着于捡最低价筹码的人，是不是永远都在等一场不会来的瀑布？ 我承认，当时我劝他买 OKB 时，语气里带着点"你不懂"的得意。他回我一句"接盘侠"，说我在天堂里做梦。如今 OKB 站在 100 美元上方，他依然在等他的 40 美元。这件事让我想了很久，不是关于对错，而是关于一种市场里最常见的错觉——总觉得更好的机会在后面，总觉得别人的上涨是泡沫。 从衍生品视角看，OKB 这轮拉升其实很值得拆解。持仓量在价格突破时同步放大，但资金费率并没有出现极端过热，说明这波更多是现货真金白银在推，而不是杠杆资金在赌方向。这种结构通常比高费率拉升更健康，但也意味着一旦现货买盘减弱，回调速度会比预期快，因为下方缺一层"爆多"的缓冲垫。 再看板块强弱这个镜头。最近市场并不是普涨，而是典型的结构性行情。AI 叙事和存储芯片概念明显强于大盘，OpenAI 估值竞赛、海力士扩产这些消息不断给风险偏好加温。OKB 更像是被生态预期推着走的代表——交易所在持续上新资产，合约深度也在变好，资金愿意为"未来现金流"买单。 偏$BTC $SNDK Bitcoin and U.S. stocks both "flatlined" over the weekend, with the core reason being a perfect balance between bullish and bearish forces, and no one daring to make the first move.
On the Bitcoin side, positive and negative factors canceled each other out. Strategy's sale of 1,690 BTC (about $108 million) created supply pressure, the SEC's delay in the tokenization project exemption plan dampened sentiment, coupled with ETF net outflows for two consecutive days. But these negatives were exactly offset by the strength in U.S. stocks and expectations of long-term institutional allocation, resulting in BTC stubbornly fluctuating in the $62,000-$63,000 range.
On the U.S. stock side, it was similarly "neither up nor down." The S&P 500 hit a record high on Thursday, but on Friday, July retail sales plunged 0.6% month-over-month, consumer confidence declined, and tensions between the U.S. and Iran pushed oil prices higher. Funds chose to take profits and adopt a wait-and-see approach before the weekend, leading the three major indexes to end with only about a 0.2% decline.
Simply put: no new story, no new direction.
#消费动能转弱，9月政策仍受通胀制约 #ETF买盘反转，BTC杠杆仓位回升 兄弟们，$SNDK这波没上车的，我估计现在最纠结的就是一个问题： 还能不能追？ 先说我的看法： 我现在不会因为它涨疯了就直接看空，但这个位置让我追，我也是真下不去手。 8月13日投资者日当天，$SNDK直接涨了大约13.7%，8月14日又涨了约6.5%，收在1628美元附近。算下来，这周已经涨了接近35%。 最刺激的是，这波不是纯炒情绪。 投资者日确实给了市场一些东西。 公司把长期增长目标、80%左右的长期毛利率目标、长期客户协议以及HBF高带宽闪存都拿出来重新讲了一遍。 而且华尔街也开始重新给估值。 摩根大通给到了2250美元目标价，花旗维持2100美元目标价。 所以现在最容易犯的错误就是： “这么好的基本面，那就直接追啊！” 我反而觉得没那么简单。 因为市场已经提前把很多好消息交易了一遍。 你现在买的，已经不是前面那个1000多美元、大家还在争论“AI存储到底是不是故事”的SNDK了。 现在市场已经开始交易： AI存储需求继续爆、HBF成功、利润率维持高位、长期合同继续增加。 只要其中一个环节低于预期，股价就可能先给你一个大回撤。 所以如果是我： 已经有仓位的，我不会因为涨了就急着BTC — I'm Yuvi, with BTC at 63,000, I'll just say one thing
All the macro indicators are positive: CPI, PPI, retail all cooling down, US stocks hitting new highs, BTC holding steady at 63,000.
It's unsettling that BTC doesn't rise despite the good news, but from another perspective: these positives haven't been priced in yet, liquidity is gradually opening up, it just takes time to transmit to the crypto market.
The 62,000-63,000 range has been tested four or five times without breaking, showing strong support from market makers. Support tested repeatedly is more reliable than a single bullish candle.
My strategy: no shorting at this level, wait for a volume breakout above 65,000 before adding positions. There's a floor if it falls, and room to grow if it rises; the odds are in my favor.
$BTC Brothers, if you still believe in the $BTC four-year cycle theory, you should seriously take a look at this timeline projection.
BTC's past macro cycles have shown very strong regularity:
2015–2017 Bull Market: 1064 days
2017–2018 Bear Market: 364 days
2018–2021 Bull Market: 1064 days
2021–2022 Bear Market: 364 days
2022–2025 Bull Market: 1064 days
If the historical script continues to repeat:
2025–2026 Bear Market lasts 364 days, with the cycle bottom time window falling on October 5, 2026.
Considering the current market, BTC continues to weaken and faces long-term oscillation pressure. According to this cycle framework, if the final drop occurs later, it will be a window period for long-term phased bottom buying.
⚠️ Objective and calm supplement:
Historical patterns can be used as a reference but should not be treated as ironclad rules.
The current market environment has long changed: spot ETF institutional funds entering, Federal Reserve liquidity policies, and global regulatory environments all disrupt the cycle rhythm. The previously precise day counts were historical coincidences and do not have a logic that must be fulfilled.
Even if the time window approaches, you should combine price support and on-chain sentiment for phased positioning, and avoid going all-in betting on the bottom.Guys, Bloomberg just released data on August 16. S&P 500 component earnings grew 31% year-over-year in Q2, far exceeding the previous 23% expectation, marking the strongest increase since Bloomberg's industry research began data in 1992, excluding recovery after major recessions. Over 90% of the constituent stocks have already released their financial reports, and overall profit performance for the first half of the year is expected to be the best for the same period since 2021. Among approximately 1,500 U.S.-listed companies that have disclosed results, three-quarters simultaneously achieved earnings per share and revenue that exceeded expectations. The profit structure is also improving—the S&P 500's net profit margin has risen from 14%, which was difficult to break in previous years, to nearly 16%. Mark Hackett, Chief Market Strategist at Nationwide, said that AI used to be mainly a cost center, but this year there is a turning point and it is beginning to become a profit center. Profits are no longer limited to large tech companies but are spreading across broader sectors. With such strong profits, what does Wall Street think? The year-end average target has been raised to 7,894 points—meaning there is only about 1% upside from the historic high set this week. The full-year profit growth forecast has been raised from 15% at the beginning of the year to 27%. 7894。 This is only about 1% higher than the current level. Old Mo will break down four whys for you. First, profits rise quickly, but the index has already risen. The S&P 500 has risen about 13% over the years. Earnings growth of 31% is indeed faster than the index gains, with the P/E ratio dropping from about 26 times at the beginning of the year to just below 22 times over the next 12 months. But 22x is still not cheap historically—the S&P 500's long-term average price-to-earnings ratio is about 1⚡Multiple economic signals are collectively weakening! Yet the market remains deadlocked, with BTC struggling to achieve a strong one-sided rally
US consumer spending confidence is rapidly fading.
The latest July retail sales data came in sharply below expectations, dropping 0.6% month-over-month, whereas the market had widely anticipated a slight increase of 0.1%. Demand across various sectors is cooling simultaneously: auto sales are sluggish, online retail enthusiasm is waning, and with crude oil prices falling, gas station revenues are shrinking accordingly. Not only consumption data, but the August consumer confidence index also fell from 55.2 to 51, marking the first decline in nearly three months.
Inflation continues to ease, employment shows signs of weakness, and with consumption steadily weakening, multiple negative factors are emerging, continuously undermining the Federal Reserve's motivation to raise rates again in September. According to CME interest rate futures data, the probability of the Fed holding rates steady at the upcoming meeting has risen to 67.5%, with some institutions estimating as high as 71%.
However, the market hides a major contradiction: the public’s one-year inflation expectations have not decreased but risen, from 4.2% to 4.3%. This surreal situation has emerged: ordinary people are actively cutting back spending and consuming cautiously, yet internally still expect prices to continue rising. Under this conflicting expectation interference, easing and rate cuts will not come easily, and various risk assets naturally struggle to see sustained rallies.
Turning the focus back to $BTC. Weakening consumption data suppresses rate hike expectations, which is a slight short-term positive that can provide the market with a brief breather. But with inflation expectations remaining high and long-term US Treasury yields under continuous pressure, the 65000 level remains an impenetrable ceiling.
Do not expect a single set of economic data to reverse the trend. The current market lacks a clear direction and can only continue to oscillate and tug back and forth. The answers to all major market moves will only be revealed after the September Fed meeting.
#消费动能转弱，9月政策仍受通胀制约 $BTC $ETH $ETH $BTC **BTC, $63,100, four major bearish factors haven't broken through $60K, the market is quietly getting stronger**
MicroStrategy sold 1,690 BTC yesterday to cash out $108 million—Saylor has started selling, but BTC remains unmoved. Along with the SEC vote cancellation, Cold Card theft of $100 million, and Trezor data leak, these four bearish hits didn't even break $62K.
Santiment data: market sentiment is at its worst on record, the whole network is shouting "crypto is dead." But whales (10-10K BTC) are quietly accumulating in panic, the first time since April. MVRV has returned to negative, historically a long-term bottom area.
ETF funds are still flowing out, spot volume is shrinking, but the $60K-$62K bottom is getting firmer. Only above $65K will it turn bullish. Breaking below $62K → $60K → $58.5K.
Next week's catalysts are dense: 8/19 White House crypto meeting, 8/20 CFTC, 8/26 PCE.
Direction: **watching with a bearish bias**, but bottom signals are accumulating. No drop despite bearish news is the biggest bullish sign. Any BTC bought in 2025 would be at a loss if held until now. Therefore, as long as the 2025 chips decrease, except for wallet transfers, the rest are sell-offs at a loss.
As of today, there are still 4.77 million BTC from 2025, down 41.5% from the peak in December last year.
The slope of the downward trend clearly has two segments: a rapid decline before February, and a slowdown after February, but still maintaining a certain slope.
This group is probably the largest supply side in the current market.
Comparing data from 2024, 2023, and 2022, it’s not hard to see that these chips with unrealized gains have basically passed the steep phase of the decline slope.
Moreover, the longer the time, the smaller the slope. From the chart, the slope of the curve after February almost became a straight line.
Even if the price falls further, the change in the number of these chips is not obvious. In other words, those who needed to turnover have done so, and the rest remain inactive.
From the past two bear markets, at the 2022 bear bottom, the high-position chips from 2021 dropped by 51%; at the 2018 bear bottom, the high-position chips from 2017 dropped by 62%;
If we simply extrapolate, I personally think the bottom of this bear market will be at most 50-60% (currently 41%), not yet considering BTC bought by 2025 ETFs and MicroStrategy, most of which are locked and inactive.#S&P Earnings Exceed Expectations, Why Is Wall Street Only Targeting 7894 Points
I'm Brother Ci. The S&P 500 earnings exceeded expectations, but Wall Street only set a target price of 7894 points. These numbers just don't add up when put together.
S&P 500 Q2 earnings grew 31% year-over-year, higher than the previous expectation of 23%, and the full-year earnings growth forecast was raised from 15% at the beginning of the year to 27%. Over 90% of component stocks have already reported earnings. Earnings growth outpaced the index increase, and the forward 12-month P/E ratio dropped from about 26 times at the start of the year to less than 22 times. Earnings are accelerating while valuations are contracting, so logically the index should have considerable room to rise.
However, Wall Street's year-end average target only sees 7894 points, about 1.4% higher than Friday's close at 7785 points. Despite earnings growth exceeding expectations, the index target hasn't been significantly raised. Essentially, the market is waiting for two variables to provide direction: whether the profit margin improvements brought by AI can spread to more industries, and whether the cooling consumption will transmit to corporate revenues.
S&P earnings are exceeding expectations, but Wall Street is waiting for data validation. The 7894-point target price is not an undervaluation of earnings but a wait for earnings to spread to more industries. The impact on BTC in the short term depends on whether earnings can spread and consumption stabilizes; in the medium term, the logic of AI infrastructure capital expenditure remains unchanged. The S&P is waiting for diffusion, BTC is waiting for its own catalyst. $BTC $ETH $SNDK Consumer data unexpectedly cooled down, and the September rate hike might be off the table
July retail sales fell by 0.6% month-over-month, while the expectation was a 0.1% increase, catching everyone off guard. The August consumer confidence index also dropped from 55.2 to 51.0, below the expected 54.5.
CPI has decreased, PPI has also dropped, and now consumption is starting to cool down — the reasons for a September rate hike are disappearing one by one.
But one detail is worth noting:
The one-year inflation expectation among consumers actually rose from 4.2% to 4.3%. This shows that while people say "the economy is struggling," they are still worried about rising prices. This poses a dilemma for the Federal Reserve: economic data supports no rate hike, but inflation expectations prevent it from easing up.
For $BTC:
Cooling consumption + weakening rate hike expectations are short-term positives for risk assets; the dollar and U.S. Treasury yields may come under pressure, giving BTC a chance to move upward.
However, if inflation expectations continue to rise and interest rates remain high for an extended period, the sustainability of this rebound is questionable.
In the short term, watch if 65000 can hold; if it does, there’s a chance to push to 70000. But if inflation data continues to exceed expectations, the shadow of a September rate hike will still loom.
My judgment: short-term positive, medium-term uncertain. #消费动能转弱，9月政策仍受通胀制约 $BTC #Hormuz Agreement Pending Implementation, Oil Risk Awaiting Pricing
The Strait of Hormuz still has a significant impact on the crypto circle, after all, $BTC has been really weak recently, and the real impact of oil prices on BTC is not as a safe haven, but inflation.
Although the temporary channel is close to confirmation now, this does not mean the strait is fully reopened. As long as the risk of oil supply remains, oil prices may rebound after the market opens.
Oil price $CL rising will not benefit BTC; among them, gold $XAU is the safe-haven asset most people choose. The key is whether it will reignite inflation expectations.
If oil only rises moderately, and the US dollar and US Treasury yields do not rise significantly, the market may continue to trade geopolitical risks, and BTC might have a chance to benefit from the safe-haven and inflation hedge narrative.
But if oil suddenly surges, further pushing up US inflation expectations, and US Treasury yields and the dollar strengthen simultaneously, that would be bearish for BTC. Because the market will bet again that the Fed’s rate cuts are blocked, dollar liquidity tightens, and high-risk assets will be the first to come under pressure.
So don’t be bullish on BTC just because of tensions in the Strait of Hormuz.
Currently, the only real line to watch is oil → US Treasury yields → US dollar.
If oil rises but yields don’t, BTC still has a chance; if oil, yields, and the dollar all rise together, then BTC needs to be cautious.
#标普盈利超预期，华尔街为何仅看7894点 I have a long position in $DOT with an average price of 0.7775, current price 0.7586, floating loss of a bit over two points, stop loss at 0.6874.
I'm writing this because it's too boring. $DOT dropped another 2% today, with only 960,000 U traded in 24 hours—an established coin's trading volume shrinking like this means no one is really playing anymore. On X, there are only 6 mentions in 24 hours, none bullish. This kind of coin is ignored by institutions, not played by retail investors, and even those chasing hype are too lazy to look.
Why am I opening a long position in such a place? Since opening the position, $DOT has been grinding between 0.75-0.78, with a 24-hour low of 0.756 and a high of 0.7844, a fluctuation of less than 4 points. It doesn't fall, no one talks about it; I actually find this state more worth watching than a volume-driven rally—reversals often start when no one pays attention.
My approach: watch 0.756; if it breaks, I have to adjust my judgment, so the stop loss isn't set very close (0.6874). I'm betting on this bottom area position, accepting a loss if I'm wrong once. I might also be wrong about this position; with $DOT's liquidity, a big bearish candle breaking support can happen in just a few minutes. Looking upward, I first watch 0.78-0.784, today's high; if it breaks above, I continue holding, if not, I admit I was wrong. 😅 Huang is also feeling the pressure—cutting from 250 billion to 120 billion!
NVIDIA holds about $21 billion in SpaceX shares, but its guarantee for OpenAI's data center was slashed from 250 billion to less than 120 billion—cut in half directly!
Equity investment is ownership, with a maximum loss of 21 billion—guarantees are liabilities, meaning if the client collapses, you have to cover unlimited losses. Cutting the guarantee shows Huang clearly understands the AI infrastructure bubble.
It's not weakness, it's more shrewd—equity investment is fine, but taking on debt is not.
#英伟达深入AI资本链，协同与风险如何平衡 A noteworthy signal has emerged in US Crypto regulation.
The SEC public meeting originally scheduled for August 14 was suddenly canceled,
and this is not an isolated incident.
The CLARITY Act, a Crypto market structure bill previously pushed by the US Congress, has also been postponed to continue in September.
At that time,
US spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced net outflows for two consecutive days:
August 12: approximately -$61M
August 13: approximately -$131M
A total net outflow of about $192M over two days.
This means the market is currently facing two pressures simultaneously:
👉 Regulatory implementation expectations are delayed
👉 Institutional short-term funds are becoming cautious, so the recent BTC pullback cannot be simply interpreted as a "deterioration of Crypto fundamentals."
The market is waiting to see when US Crypto regulation will truly be implemented, while institutional funds are entering a short-term observation period.
However, I believe the most important thing to watch is not that the SEC "canceled a meeting," but what happens in September.
If the SEC resumes pushing Regulation Crypto and the CLARITY Act successfully moves to the next stage, the US Crypto market may experience a new regulatory expectation reassessment.
What kind of regulatory framework will the US provide for Crypto in the next round?
This could determine the valuation logic for the entire industry in the next phase. $CORE deliberately posted more yesterday, and the pattern shows a slow and weak rise! A reminder not to be impulsive! Just like the previous times. Usually, a real surge rarely gives the vast majority of people a chance to react! This move is so awkward, it doesn't seem right! Why is there such a big reaction in the dynamics? That's because everyone has been suffering with this thing for a long time! After a long drought, a sweet dew! A little sunshine makes it feel like a sunny day is coming! It's not that easy! This thing has always relied on storytelling! Many people's minds have been brainwashed, making hype for this thing every day! If it were really that awesome, the price wouldn't be so bottomless! People who have been fooled are about to lose everything, yet they still cheer for others, haha. Calm down and look at reality! Most who have spot holdings can't escape either, just lie low! Prepare for the worst!The Calm Before the Move
Sideways doesn’t mean nothing is happening. Sometimes, it means the market is quietly loading up for its next big move. 👀
$BTC has been trapped between $63K and $65K for nearly ten weeks. It looks boring on the surface—but underneath, the story is getting interesting.
Momentum is shifting.
Volatility is compressing.
Long-term holders are staying patient.
And the macro picture is slowly changing.
Four forces are lining up at the same time.
#WeakConsumptionFedSplit ETF fund flow divergence: Why institutions prefer $BTC but are starting to reassess $ETH staking yields
Recently, there's been an interesting phenomenon in the market
Institutions say they are embracing crypto assets
But when it comes to actual money flow, they are quite honest
The first stop is mostly still $BTC
The reason is not complicated
$BTC tells a great story
Digital gold, scarce asset, inflation hedge, macro hedge
These terms resonate with Wall Street
And clients understand them too
Fund managers find it safe to use in PPTs without risk of backfire
So $BTC ETFs have strong capital attraction
Essentially, it's not because it's the most sexy
But because it's the safest and easiest to explain
For institutions
Assets that can be clearly explained
are easier to allocate to
But $ETH has recently started to become interesting
Many used to think $ETH
had too complex a narrative
Smart contracts, DeFi, Layer2, staking, gas fees
The story would lose newcomers' attention
But now it's different
If $ETH ETFs can include staking yields
Then it’s not just a price-volatile asset
But somewhat like an asset generating on-chain cash flow
This is crucial for institutions
Because they like two words
Yield
BTC is like a safe
Just sitting there, representing scarcity and belief
$ETH is more like a machine still running
Though sometimes noisy and slow to ignite
It can work and potentially keep producing
So the future focus is not
Whether $ETH can replace $BTC
That question is too old-fashioned 🚨Consumption has collapsed, yet they still dare to push for 8000? That’s the real danger!
S&P 500 earnings are indeed strong—Q2 earnings grew 31% year-over-year, the full-year forecast rose from 15% to 27%, and valuation dropped from 26x to 22x, which looks quite healthy.
But on the other hand—nonfarm payrolls down 23,000, retail down 0.6%, consumer confidence plummeting, inflation expectations still rising—the economic foundation is weakening while corporate profits are soaring.
If the economy really cools down, how long can high earnings growth be sustained? Consumption accounts for 70% of GDP; if consumption disappears, where will corporate revenue come from? This current trend of “worse macro data, yet rising stock market” is not a bull market, it’s an expectations market—entirely propped up by the rate cut narrative.
Wall Street’s average target is 7894 points, only 1.4% above current levels. What does this mean? It means institutions also think it’s about done; any further rise is pure emotional speculation.
Pushing to 8000 despite collapsing consumption is not a breakout, it’s a bull trap. At this level, chasing in is like catching a flying knife.
#标普盈利超预期，华尔街为何仅看7894点 The ranking of Bitcoin mining pool hashrate across the entire network in the last 3 days: F2Pool regained the hashrate previously eaten by SpiderPool after distributing nat, climbing back to third place in the whole network. ViaBTC dropped to fifth place after being surpassed by SpiderPool's hashrate because it hasn't distributed nat yet, and it hasn't caught up since.
Whether a mining pool distributes nat is officially decided by the pool, but in reality, it's the miners who decide, as they vote with their feet based on their interests.
The second-ranked AntPool will also be forced to distribute nat if it gets surpassed by other pools in hashrate one day. Let's wait and see.Altcoin total market cap just hit the lowest weekly closing price in nearly 3 years.$ETH is under intense discussion regarding a proposal called EIP-8363. If implemented, this proposal would directly impact loop leverage strategies that rely on staking yields.
Core risk mechanism Yield zero threshold: The proposal sets that when the total staked $ETH across the network reaches 50% of the total supply, consensus layer rewards will be gradually burned until they reach zero. Currently, the staking rate is about 34%, but the growth trend is clear.
Leverage strategy inversion: The premise for loop leverage strategy profitability is staking yield > borrowing rate. If the base yield drops from the current 2.6% to 1.2% while borrowing rates remain around 1.5%, the interest spread will turn negative, instantly turning the strategy from a “money printer” into a “loss machine.”
Chain liquidation crisis: Once yields cannot cover costs, large-scale deleveraging will trigger $ETH sell-offs, leading to liquidity pool depletion and collateral price drops, potentially triggering a chain liquidation and de-pegging risk similar to the 2022 crash.
Market reaction and game theoryInstitutional strong opposition: They believe this move will erase $ETH’s yield advantage over $BTC and distort yield benchmarks.
Governance divergence: The proposal aims to prevent staking centralization, but critics argue it may instead eliminate independent nodes, accelerate centralization, and cause significant harm if a sudden “emergency brake” is applied without a complete contingency plan.
If Ethereum yields drop to zero, institutional funds may flow to other high-yield assets.
Currently, the proposal is still in the draft discussion stageThe hottest topic in the crypto community recently is the two "big brothers" $BTC and $ETH—which one is more likely to attract capital. But in my view, this is not a simple multiple-choice question; the real market is unfolding a "three-way division" of capital competition. 📊 Let's first look at institutional trends. Smart money is quietly entering through ETF channels, directly reversing the previous half-year trend of net outflows. Just last week, $1.1 billion in funds flowed back, and BlackRock remains ahead, holding about 80% of the market share. Ethereum is not to be outdone, recording net inflows for five consecutive weeks, with momentum even surpassing Bitcoin. Wall Street giants JPMorgan Chase and Morgan Stanley both doubled their holdings in the second quarter or more, clearly aiming to include these two asset groups in their core allocations. This shift is not accidental but a reassessment of the "certainty premium" by institutions—as crypto assets gradually gain acceptance by the mainstream financial system, ETF channels become the safest compliance gateway, naturally attracting funds to secure positions early. 🏦 However, there is still a significant force in the market that cannot be ignored. Many funds are withdrawing from Bitcoin and rushing straight into the AI sector. Essentially, this is a debate between two narratives: one side believes AI applications are more pragmatic, while the other believes the imaginative potential of crypto assets is broader. This siphoning effect actually reflects the same group of funds chasing "sexier growth stories." When the market lacks a clear hotspot, Bitcoin, as the most liquid crypto asset, naturally becomes the first to become an "ATM." From a psychological perspective, investors sell for profit$CORE deconstructs the narrative and loopholes behind the "Bitcoin holding energy"
🟧 Bitcoin holding energy.
🔶 CORE utilizes and guides it.
The argument heavily promoted early this morning seems grand but is actually targeted emotional stabilization rhetoric.
A massive amount of idle BTC is an industry-recognized stock cake, used to create expectations implying that large BTC funds will eventually enter the market. The entire concept is very vague, with no quantitative indicators or implementation timeline, merely packaging long-term speculation as an inevitable opportunity.
The market continues to weaken, unlocking selling pressure persists, and the on-chain ecosystem remains cold. When the market is under pressure, aggressively promoting long-term narratives has a clear purpose: to divert attention, making people ignore the heavy trapped positions and the lack of incremental funds, thereby delaying chip selling.
The narrative’s loopholes are obvious.
Competition in the BTCFi sector is fierce; funds will not naturally flow to CORE. Institutions holding large amounts of BTC are extremely cautious and will not enter positions based solely on concepts.
Reality has already provided the answer: the narrative continues to be pushed, but on-chain data remains sluggish long-term. No matter how good the future outlook is, it cannot absorb the current selling pressure or reverse the imbalanced chip structure.
Faith relies on stories for support; the market relies on real money to drive it. The BTC stock cake is fiercely contested; relying only on empty promises to share dividends is nothing but a daydream.
⚠️ Personal market thoughts only, not investment advice, the crypto market is extremely risky Coinbase BTC negative premium has lasted for 90 consecutive days, which actually means that the US spot buying demand has not been strong during this period.
Especially since this has set the longest record since the indicator was introduced, it at least indicates one thing:
Although BTC hasn't experienced an uncontrollable drop recently, the active buying willingness in the US market has remained weak.
This aligns with many previous observations:
Macroeconomic expectations are improving, CPI and PPI have not continued to worsen, interest rate hike expectations are declining, but BTC hasn't shown particularly strong follow-up gains.
The reason might lie here.
Positive factors are increasing, but there aren't enough funds willing to chase prices yet.
Of course, the negative premium shouldn't be directly interpreted as institutions all withdrawing.
It more reflects that Coinbase's quotes are weaker relative to Binance, indicating that the US buying side is not active enough or selling pressure is heavier.
So what I am more focused on now is when this negative premium will start to noticeably narrow, or even turn positive again.
If by then macro pressures continue to ease and Coinbase's premium also starts to improve, that would indicate that US spot funds are truly starting to come back. Let's talk about the Strait of Hormuz this weekend; both sides have started exchanging verbal confrontations again.
On the 14th, Trump made another statement: after defeating Iran, I will declare the Strait of Hormuz as U.S. territory.
A week ago, he said the U.S. completely controls the strait; this time, he directly escalated to claiming it as U.S. territory.
Iran is not backing down either.
On the 15th, they directly announced reaching a navigation agreement with Oman, and both sides have agreed on the shipping route map. But Iran's foreign minister clearly stated that currently, there is no plan to renegotiate with the U.S.
Both sides are talking past each other; no one has changed the status quo.
The strait remains closed, and direct talks between the U.S. and Iran have not resumed at all.
Trump's statement seems more like a performance for the domestic audience; he even laughed after saying it, indicating he knows how unreliable this claim is.
How will oil prices move at Monday's open?
The market was closed over the weekend, so these messages have not been repriced yet. $BZ closed above $88 last week, and $CL above $81.
Two completely opposite directions: Trump is escalating confrontation, while Iran and Oman are advancing navigation.
Which will the market choose?
I lean towards oil opening higher and then fluctuating because the agreement does not solve the fundamental problem, and the U.S. clearly opposes Iran having approval rights.
$XAU will most likely continue to follow the safe-haven logic.
$BTC is harder to say; with the same geopolitical risks, gold is rising while BTC remains at the bottom. My judgment is that BTC will still be suppressed in the short term; geopolitical tension is never good news for risk assets.
#霍尔木兹协议待落地，原油风险等待定价 Key strategies for tomorrow (just personal thoughts for reference only)
① BTC: Prioritize watching the 62,000–63,000 range
If it pulls back and stops falling near 62,000 + rebounds with volume: consider light long positions.
If it breaks below 62,000 and fails to recover on a rebound: don’t rush to go long, the correction may continue downward.
If it stabilizes again at 64,000–64,500: short-term structure clearly strengthens, then consider following the trend to go long.
Recent market data also regard $64.2K–$64.5K as an important area; BTC previously had a significant pullback from here.
② ETH: More suitable to wait for confirmation than BTC
Currently ETH is around $1,884.
Key levels to watch tomorrow:
$1,850–1,880: support observation zone
$1,900 stabilize again → short-term strength
$1,850 break → not recommended to catch a falling knife
If BTC simultaneously breaks key support, ETH often experiences greater volatility.
③ The most important thing tomorrow is not prediction, but this rhythm
Fall → stop falling → volume contraction → sudden volume rebound
This is the signal I’m more willing to go long on.
Conversely:
Rebound → reach resistance → volume decline → long upper shadow → break short-term support
This is more suitable for shorting rather than chasing longs.
Additionally, recent macro variables remain worth noting; the US 10-year Treasury yield is about 4.67%, and the interest rate environment remains an important factor for risk assets like BTC.
Regarding position sizing, it’s recommended not to go all in at once tomorrow; the first entry should be at most 20%–30% of planned position size, then increase after confirming direction. Leverage especially requires risk control; do not treat the above prices as guaranteed support/resistance.The S&P has hit a new high again!
The US stock market is indeed strong, with capital clustering around the leaders, and risk appetite remains high!
First, the rebound in risk appetite is a positive sentiment for crypto. The strength of the US stock market at least indicates that global capital is not in panic, so $BTC is unlikely to plunge deeply.
Second, however, liquidity siphoning is also obvious. Capital is rushing into US stocks, so crypto lacks incremental inflows. Therefore, $BTC can only move sideways, unable to rise much nor fall deeply.
Third, the stronger the S&P, the less urgent the Fed is to cut interest rates. This still suppresses the valuation ceiling for risk assets.
#标普盈利超预期，华尔街为何仅看7894点 #消费动能转弱，9月政策仍受通胀制约 #霍尔木兹协议待落地，原油风险等待定价 $SPCX's rise is only temporary; the main trend is a decline!
Many have already jumped on this wave of increase, but I am becoming more firmly bearish, not because it lacks a story, but because the short-term price has already priced in too much expectation in advance.
My reasons for being bearish:
1️⃣ The rebound is too large
SPCX quickly rebounded from the early August low, quickly surpassing the IPO price again and even approaching $150 at one point. After continuous rises, profit-taking and short-term funds have demands to cash out, and the risk-reward ratio for chasing higher is decreasing.
2️⃣ Supply pressure from unlocking
About 320 million shares will become available for sale on August 20, roughly 3.5 times the trading volume of last Friday. Even if not all these shares are sold, the market will preemptively trade on the "potential selling pressure."
3️⃣ Valuation and investment pressures still exist
SpaceX's Q2 revenue grew very strongly year-over-year, but capital expenditures behind AI, satellite, and other businesses are also huge. The market is currently trading on expectations far into the future; if growth falls short of expectations, the high valuation is likely to be repriced.
So my short-term strategy is simple: go short directly!
#SPCX首份财报将公布，千亿美元解禁在即 The basis between $BTC CME Bitcoin futures and Binance perpetual contracts has narrowed to below 0.5%, which is a clear signal that institutional funds are no longer betting on a one-sided direction. The funding rate for BTC perpetual contracts has been close to 0.0000% for several consecutive days, occasionally even negative, indicating that long and short funding are almost in absolute equilibrium. Open interest has not shown a significant increase, indicating no new funds entering to bet on direction, with existing funds engaged in a zero-sum game.
The put/call ratio in the Bitcoin options market has risen to 0.83, which is relatively high, meaning the market currently prices downside risk higher than upside potential. Implied volatility continues to fall to a 6-month low; buying options at such low volatility is cheap, but once a direction emerges, volatility will expand sharply.
---#交易之声：你的经验值得被听到
Just finished a meeting and took a quick look at my phone while the boss wasn’t paying attention. Both CPI and PPI point to no rate hike, so logically it should go up, right? But ETFs have had net outflows for two consecutive days, with Fidelity and ARKB leading the way, even IBIT, the toughest buyer, is pulling out. No way, the positive expectations can’t even drive it up, how weak is that.
And this is different from "good news is bad news"; the September meeting hasn’t even happened yet, this is just the hype phase of expectations. If it doesn’t go up when it should, there’s a problem. I’m thinking $BTC won’t keep shaking like this. It held before because of the expectation of no rate hikes, but now that’s clearly not enough. Price needs a reason to rise, but not to fall—only buying pressure can lift it, without positive funds it just moves elsewhere. No bad news means a slow decline, bad news means a crash.
Don’t catch a falling knife around 63,000, I definitely won’t dare to move. If it holds with volume at 62,000, you can try a light long position up to 63,000, but I feel it will most likely go straight to 60,000. Seriously, this position by the big players is really frustrating, my palms are sweaty, and my eyes are strained from watching.
Do you think it can hold 62,000? Or will it just go down? 😭$BTC First, the positive impact of CPI has already been fully priced in. The US CPI year-on-year for July was +2.9%, although lower than the expected 3.0%, the market has already priced this in. Core CPI at 3.2% still exceeds the Federal Reserve's 2% target, which means the Fed's short-term rate cuts remain a "wolf is coming" story. Current interest rate futures market pricing shows about a 60% probability of rates remaining unchanged in September, with about a 40% chance of a 25 basis point hike. High interest rates continue to suppress risk assets.
Second, miners continue to face survival pressure. Although computing power has stabilized, the miner community still faces "cost inversion" pressure, with some high-cost miners exiting or shifting to AI computing power. This creates a continuous source of selling pressure, which, although not large in scale, is amplified in a low liquidity market.
Third, there is a turnaround in crypto policy during the US election year. Although the CLARITY Act pushed by the Senate has been delayed until autumn, bipartisan consensus on crypto regulatory frameworks is increasing. This provides a long-term policy catalyst for Bitcoin. The key market signal may be what cannot trade yet. With weekend oil markets closed, stalled talks over Hormuz, sanctions, blockade and reparations leave a meaningful geopolitical risk without a live crude price.
For BTC, the first-order reaction may matter more than the inflation-hedge narrative. A crude jump could lift inflation expectations, the dollar and yields, creating an initial liquidity headwind even if the longer-term monetary case for Bitcoin strengthens. My read: watch the rates channel before assuming digital gold behavior.
Not advice, just analysis.
