Yesterday, some friends asked about $GUA
whether it has a whale involved. I repeatedly emphasized that this coin has already been abandoned, so don't watch it recently. When I woke up, it indeed continued to hit new lows.
A week ago, friends monitoring the chain noticed
that GUA's multisig wallet has been active, transferring out over 5 million GUA tokens
for distribution. After tracking, we found that these distributed wallets have been selling small amounts continuously.
For coins like this that have already pumped and then crashed, with chips concentrated in the project team's hands, it's best for everyone to stay away.Let's add a capital perspective to this round of divergence. The US stock market's S&P closed at a new all-time high last night, and the Nasdaq rose 1.3%, clearly showing high risk appetite; meanwhile, $BTC and $ETH were stuck trading flat near the bottom. The difference lies in the money inflow: US stocks are supported by pensions, corporate buybacks, and stable daily net purchases from passive indexes; crypto spot ETFs have seen weak inflows in recent weeks, lacking the incremental capital engine. So don't simply say 'high risk appetite = crypto should rise' — you have to see if this appetite has a dedicated capital channel flowing into crypto. Without that channel, no matter how hot the sentiment is, it's just watching from the sidelines. When do you think incremental capital will return to crypto? The most frustrating thing last night wasn't the non-farm payrolls, but BTC hitting 65,000 again, but still didn't get through quickly. U.S. nonfarm payrolls fell by 23,000 in July, far below market expectations, and data for May and June were also sharply revised downward. The US stock market was quite pleased after hearing this, since after cooling employment, the Fed now has one less reason to continue raising interest rates. BTC also returned to around $65,000, but was clearly less excited than US stocks. Employment data: The reason is not hard to guess. Weak employment only indicates that the pressure to raise interest rates is easing, but it does not mean liquidity is returning immediately. Moreover, this nonfarm payroll includes a lot of disruption from government education positions, so the market will have to wait for the CPI at 8:30 next Wednesday night. As long as inflation remains high, the Fed will not immediately pivot to nonfarms just because of a shortfall. BLS Schedule BTC is currently around $65,006, with a 24-hour high of $65,388 and a low of $64,303. The 65,400 level has been pushed down several times in a row. If it can hold steady with increased volume, there will be a chance to test 66,000–67,000; If it drops back below 64,300 over the weekend, it might have to move again around 63,500. ETH is near $1,917, with some temporarily buying at 1,900, but resistance between 1,945 and 1,950 is also evident. ETH now is a bit like that classmate who always says "next time," BTC doesn't break through first, so it's hard for it to suddenly strengthen. SOL is actually more energetic, rising from $72.79 to around $74.77. In the short term, let's see if it can break above 75.2Just a one-rate hike allows Circle to earn $53 million effortlessly
From two rate cuts at the beginning of the year to the current expectation of a one-rate hike, if a one-rate hike really happens on 9/16, based on the current USDC circulation of 73.3 billion and counting 106 days until the end of the year, revenue would increase by $53 million and net profit by $20 million.
Coincidentally, ARC mainnet launches on the same day, 9/16. Assuming it can further boost USDC circulation, Morgan Stanley might have to revise their target price upward again after the fact 😂
That said, Circle’s long-term outlook remains unclear. Here we can swing between a dip rebound + rate hike and revenue growth narrative brought by the ARC mainnet, but long-term attention should still focus on USDC circulation growth in Q3, Q4, and into next year.
$CRCL There is a set of data to look at: in the past month, USDT shrank from 184.2 billion to 183.1 billion, USDC dropped from 73.28 billion to 72.15 billion. Together, the two major mainstream stablecoins have seen a net outflow of 2.23 billion USD.
In simple terms, incremental off-exchange funds are simply unwilling to enter the market. The entire market is just circulating existing capital back and forth, relying on contracts to harvest each other, completely lacking the underlying capital conditions to sustain a major bull market.
At most, there will be a wave of a false rally, with an upper limit around 68,000-70,000 USD.
At this level, trapped positions and medium-to-long-term selling pressure are clustered. The main players will likely use the rebound to push the price up and trigger a short squeeze, clearing out all low-position short orders. After this false rally, a final ultimate downturn will follow, which is commonly referred to as the last drop.
At this stage, don’t hold heavy positions with bull market fantasies. The rebound is an opportunity to reduce holdings. Be patient and wait for the last drop to land, the bottom to be truly consolidated, and then consider large position layouts. 📊 Capital flow matters more than sentiment.
US stocks are hitting new highs, with Nasdaq up strongly, while $BTC and $ETH remain stuck near lows. The key difference is capital flow: equities have steady support from pensions, buybacks, and passive funds, while crypto ETFs have seen weaker inflows.
High risk appetite doesn’t automatically mean crypto will rise—the real question is when fresh capital starts flowing back into crypto. 👀

#SP500Eyes8000
#Gold4300EasingOrHedge 2026 8.8 Personal Analysis on Nonfarm Payroll Turning Negative — Let's Discuss #非农意外转负，CPI成加息关键 $BTC $ETH $BICO
In-depth Analysis of the Entire Blockchain Market Altcoin Trend After Nonfarm Payroll Turns Negative🔥🔥🔥
Core Data: July nonfarm payroll **‑23,000**, expected +80,000; May and June employment data revised down by a total of 103,000; unemployment rate 4.1% (data divergence caused by labor force participation decline).
Market Pricing: The market sharply raised the probability of a Fed rate cut in September, the US dollar index and US Treasury yields declined, US stocks and gold rose simultaneously, and crypto assets leveraged macro tailwinds to achieve a short-term breakout.
I. Underlying Market Logic: Dual Game
1. Employment weakens, labor market cools, market trades Fed rate cut expectations, dollar liquidity easing expectations raise overall market risk appetite, BTC and ETH as risk assets directly benefit.
2. US Treasury real yields decline, gold and XAUT tokenized gold strengthen in tandem, digital gold narrative reactivated.
3. Risk appetite opens, ETH/BTC exchange rate rises, existing funds flow out from mainstream coins to AA, AI-Agent and other hot altcoins, creating a thematic speculation window.
1. Negative nonfarm payroll also indicates US economic weakening; if the market starts trading recession fears, "rate cut expectations cannot outweigh recession concerns," risk assets will be collectively sold off, and crypto cannot remain immune.
2. Data contradictions: employment decreases but unemployment rate falls due to labor participation decline; single-month nonfarm payroll cannot directly lock Fed policy, subsequent CPI and wage data can reverse market rate cut expectations anytime.
3. This rally is driven by external macro factors, not crypto-native incremental funds; no large sustained ETF inflows, no major crypto industry positive news; it is a news-driven pulse rally with significant profit-taking pressure.
II. Sector Market Performance
1. BTC Bitcoin
After data release, broke upward from previous converging triangle, standing above 65000.
- Key support: 64500 (watershed), strong support 63800
- Key resistance: 66000, strong resistance 67200
Logic: Nonfarm payroll pushed BTC out of the consolidation range but volume did not significantly increase. Holding 64500 continues macro dividend; if broken, this nonfarm-driven rebound fails and returns to box consolidation.
2. ETH Ethereum
Followed the market strength, stood above 1930, ETH/BTC exchange rate slightly rose.
ETH/BTC is the master switch for altcoins: only if this rate continues to strengthen will altcoin sector rallies sustain; if ETH underperforms BTC, altcoins quickly fade.
- Support: 1900; Resistance: 1970-1980
3. Altcoin Sector
1) Main tracks: AA account abstraction + AI-Agent (represented by BICO)
Leveraging market dividends for a violent pulse, short-term severe overbought, very high turnover.
Characteristics: Beta market driven by the main market, no independent fundamental positive; main market holds and continues rising; once BTC pulls back, altcoin retracement is much larger than mainstream coins.
2) RWA track (SPCX, SNDK, XAUT)
XAUT gold token follows physical gold strongly; US stock RWA derivatives follow US stock market, with slippage, premium, and discount risks outside trading hours.
3) DePIN, MEME (LPT, DOGE)
Passive follow-up, no active capital attack, supporting role market, weaker elasticity than main thematic sectors.
Sector status: Local thematic rallies, not a full bull market; market still a zero-sum game, fast rotation of hotspots, high one-day tour risk, many unpopular altcoins have limited gains.
III. Three Possible Future Scenarios
✅Scenario 1: Optimistic (Low Probability)
Subsequent economic data continues weakening, rate cut expectations strengthen; BTC holds 64500 support, breaks through 66000 with volume.
Result: Mainstream coins continue rising, ETH/BTC keeps rising, hot altcoins see phased speculation. Volume-less spikes still have pulse pullbacks.
⚖️Scenario 2: Neutral Consolidation (Highest Probability)
Nonfarm benefits fully digested, profit-taking concentrated, BTC retests 64500-64800 to confirm support.
Result: Market sharply diverges, high-flying small caps pull back; main tracks rotate; awaiting CPI and Fed officials' speeches for next directional choice.
❌Scenario 3: Risk Scenario
Market starts trading recession fears or inflation-related data rebounds, rate cut expectations withdrawn.
Result: BTC loses 64500, returns to box range; high-gain altcoins experience rapid, large sell-offs.
Next, focus on 4 core signals
1. Whether BTC 64500 support holds, the foundation of the entire crypto market.
2. ETH/BTC exchange rate, to judge if funds continue flowing to altcoins.
3. Subsequent US CPI inflation data and Fed officials' speeches, which can revise rate cut expectations and rewrite this rally.
4. High-level thematic altcoins: volume-less new highs are profit-taking windows, avoid blindly chasing highs.
Negative nonfarm payroll brought a macro-driven rebound window to the crypto market but does not mean a bull market has started.
Biggest risk: rally momentum comes from external liquidity expectations, not crypto internal capital explosion, with potential economic recession risk attached.
Just personal analysis, everyone proceed steadily US employment data surprises to the downside, $BTC retakes $65,000.
The latest US employment figures unexpectedly weakened, prompting the market to start betting again on a Fed pivot to easing, and BTC immediately broke through $65,000.
More importantly, in the first week of August, Bitcoin spot ETFs have already seen a net inflow of about $754 million, indicating that institutional funds are indeed flowing back.
But strangely: money is coming in, yet the price hasn't shown a strong rally; the options market is still defending the $62,000–$63,000 range.
This rally has capital and macro sentiment, but what’s temporarily missing is the confidence to chase the rise.
BTC breaking above 65,000 is just the first step; whether it can break out with volume will determine if this is a reversal or continued consolidation. #非农意外转负，CPI成加息关键 #非农意外转负，CPI成加息关键 July's nonfarm payrolls unexpectedly recorded a decline of 23,000, far below the market expectation of an 80,000 increase. Coupled with significant downward revisions to employment data from the previous two months and a simultaneous slowdown in wage growth, the market immediately lowered the probability of a Fed rate hike in September. The dollar and U.S. Treasury yields plunged in the short term, while gold, crypto, and U.S. growth stocks collectively rallied.
However, this weak nonfarm payrolls report cannot directly confirm a loosening cycle; inflation remains the core benchmark for Fed policy. Among the Fed's dual mandates, price stability takes higher priority. Currently, core CPI remains significantly above the 2% target. Ongoing geopolitical conflicts in the Middle East continue to disrupt oil prices, and inflation risks on the energy front have not been fully resolved. There is data divergence in this nonfarm report: the unemployment rate slightly fell to 4.1%, mainly due to a large number of people exiting the labor force rather than economic prosperity. A single negative employment figure is insufficient to dispel officials' inflation concerns.
Future market trends will be entirely anchored to CPI data, with two scenarios: if CPI continues to cool, the combination of weak employment and falling inflation will completely eliminate rate hike expectations, allowing risk assets to continue rebounding; if CPI rebounds and inflation proves sticky, even with weak employment, the Fed will retain the option to raise rates, and the previous asset rally will quickly reverse.
In the short term, the market is betting on the benefits of cooling employment, but the medium- to long-term trend and the Fed's rate decisions will all depend on subsequent inflation data.
Risk warning: This is only a market logic sharing and does not constitute any investment advice. $BTC $ETH $SNDK $BICO Risk control alarm ⏰
0.0402 short | margin 68.1U | current price 0.06156, floating loss 21U
The risk does not lie in the proportion of unrealized losses, but in a one-sided trend: 4-hour consecutive bullish candles, no substantial pullback, and the main force of the demon coin has unpredictable upward potential.
Strong parity at 0.0996, the paper buffer looks ample, but under high control, it can be quickly broken down at any time.
✅ Plan: Set a stop loss at 0.063, exit unconditionally after a breakout, admit a loss of 20U
❌ Discipline: No increasing or diluting positions, no short-filling, and preventing a repeat of $BEAT's loss scenario
MMT surged 40%, SPCX broke through and took off, so it's hard not to envy it, but first close the risk of your current holdings.
If you don't defend well and chase new trends, it's easy to get hit on both sides.
This week's total: ETH +142 | BTC +118 | SNDK +25 | BEAT -151 | BICO unrealized loss 21
Overall, it still made a net profit of 100U+, making it profitable this week.
There's no need to overdraft the entire week's profits for 20U.

Not financial advice, just market analysis.
#PayrollsDropCPIFocus #AIMemoryStressTest #SpaceXUnlockRebound The so-called narrative and liquidity aim to understand
For example, if the expected interest rate cuts at the end of the year change from 3 times to 1 time, this is called liquidity tightening, which is bearish for the crypto space. The crypto market thrives on liquidity; if the price is high, you should quickly exit rather than treat it as noise.
Another example is many people buy a coin just because it was a star in the last bull market and has dropped enough to be cheap, but they are still telling the old story.
Or this person is a value investor or has transitioned from the stock market to crypto, only looking at fundamentals like revenue, expenses, TVL, and other indicators to buy it.
This is a narrative issue. Narrative is the router of capital. Although we cannot judge whether an altcoin will have its own mainstream narrative in the next bull market,
we can choose those winners who best capture the narrative.
Bitcoin has its own narrative every cycle.
ETH, BNB, SOL—these public chains are the winners that capture the narrative first.
Whether you are into RWA, tokenized stocks, speculation, etc., you have to play on-chain.
GameFi and NFTs can be falsified and can die, but ETH, BNB, and Solana are still here."SOL starts to catch up, but what’s really worth watching is that the fundamentals are outperforming the price"
Today, SOL is clearly stronger than BTC and ETH.
From this 1-hour chart, SOL has been steadily raising its lows from around $72, currently reaching 74.78, with an intraday high of 75.13. The MA5, MA10, and MA20 have all turned upward, and the price is running close to the upper band of the BOLL.
This indicates that short-term funds are actively seeking higher Beta assets.
However, I believe what’s worth noting about this SOL rally is not just that "altcoins are catching up," but that its on-chain fundamentals have not declined alongside the price over the past few months.
Solana’s official network data now shows about 3.5 billion transactions per month and 50 million monthly active addresses; third-party research even indicates nearly 4 billion transactions in June this year, setting a record for the highest monthly level.
More importantly, institutionalization is continuing.
In July, SOL ETPs still recorded a net inflow of about $18.9 million; meanwhile, RWA, stablecoins, payments, and institutional assets on-chain continue to expand. In other words, Solana is gradually shedding the "MEME casino" label the market once gave it.
This is also why I see the biggest difference between SOL and typical altcoins:
Many altcoins need market sentiment to tell their story to rise;
SOL now has at least some of its upward logic supported by real network usage.
Back to the chart, the short-term resistance is near 75.1.
KDJ has already entered a relatively high level, and the price is close to the upper BOLL band, so chasing the price here doesn’t offer a favorable risk-reward ratio. If 75.1 can be broken with volume and hold, then the structure starting from 70.5 has a chance to open further; if the breakout fails, watch for a pullback confirmation in the 74–73.5 range.
My core judgment on SOL now is:
It is gradually transforming from a "high Beta altcoin" into a public chain asset that needs to be revalued based on fundamentals.
Price can be driven by sentiment in the short term, but what ultimately determines how far a rally can go is whether there are real people, real capital, and real economic activity on the network.
If BTC continues to hold around 65,000 and ETH stays above 1,900, SOL—this high Beta asset whose fundamentals have not obviously declined but whose price has been significantly compressed—may instead become the direction where funds look for resilience in the next phase.
$75 is just a short-term resistance level.
What’s truly worth pondering is: if Solana’s network growth continues to outpace its price, is the market merely trading a typical catch-up rally, or is it actually repricing SOL? $SOL 🚀 XRP/USDT (4H) – Rebound Support Reclaim

#Crypto #XRP #Ripple #Trading #OKX ETFs bought $853+ Million worth of $BTC this week.
That's the largest weekly buy in 15 weeks."ETH is currently hovering above 1900, and I am more focused on the change in its 'asset attributes' behind the scenes" $ETH
ETH's current movement is more worthy of study than simply breaking through 1944.
From the 1-hour chart, after ETH rallied from around 1826, the price did not quickly retrace but continued to trade within the 1900–1920 range. Currently near 1917, MA5, MA10, and MA20 have converged again, with the BOLL middle band around 1915, indicating short-term volatility is compressing and the market is waiting for the next directional choice.
But what truly deserves attention today is something beyond the chart:
SharpLink and Galaxy have officially launched a $125 million on-chain yield fund, and the capital has already started deployment. According to Galaxy's official statement, this is an institutional on-chain yield tool, with the core idea of shifting enterprise-held ETH from simply "holding + staking" to DeFi and other on-chain yield strategies.
I believe the significance of this for ETH is underestimated.
In the past, institutions allocated BTC with a very simple logic: scarce asset + store of value.
But ETH is trying to take a different path:
It can not only be held but also staked to generate yield, serve as the underlying asset for DeFi, and further become a productive capital asset for institutional on-chain capital allocation.
This is where ETH truly differentiates itself from many altcoins.
Back to the chart, the first resistance remains at 1929–1944. If volume expands and it breaks through 1944, the structure since 1826 will form a clearer higher high; conversely, if it falls back below 1900, the short-term strong structure will be weakened.
So I do not think ETH "can't move" just because it is consolidating.
What really needs observation is: the price is still hesitating near 1900, but the way institutions use ETH is changing.
If in the future more enterprises do not simply buy ETH to wait for appreciation but treat ETH as an interest-bearing, deployable, and on-chain financial system-accessible capital asset on their balance sheets, then the market will ultimately need to answer a question anew:
Should ETH be valued as a "cryptocurrency," or should it gradually be repriced as an on-chain productive asset?
This may be more worthy of long-term tracking than whether it can break through $2000 in the short term."BTC Reclaims Around 65,000, But This Time the Most Important Thing About the Rise Isn't the Price"
BTC has returned to around $65,000. What I find most worth observing now is not whether it has "broken through" or not, but that the market's way of pricing in macroeconomic bad news is changing.
The latest employment data has clearly weakened, and the market has started trading again on the possibility of a Federal Reserve policy shift. Meanwhile, recent U.S. spot crypto ETF fund flows have also shown significant improvement, with reports indicating nearly $1 billion in total inflows in a single day, as institutional funds return to the market.
This means BTC currently faces two forces simultaneously:
Economic weakening → increased risk asset concerns;
Policy expectations easing → liquidity valuation rising again.
And BTC is clearly more willing to trade on the second logic at present.
From the 1-hour structure, the lows and highs formed after 62,227 are continuously rising. The current price is 64,968, with MA5, MA10, and MA20 almost converging again near 64,900. After pushing up to 65,358, there was no obvious waterfall drop but rather sideways movement below 65,000, which is more important than a simple breakout.
I will focus on 65,150–65,360.
If volume expands and it breaks through 65,360, it means this rebound starting from 62,200 could upgrade from a "correction rally" to a trend continuation; conversely, if 65,000 cannot hold effectively, short-term caution is needed to prevent another retest of 64,700 or even lower.
But my core view is not about guessing the next candlestick.
What makes BTC truly strong now is that macro expectations remain chaotic, yet it has not fallen back to previous lows.
When the market is weakest, even good news can't push prices up;
When it truly starts to strengthen, bad news increasingly fails to push prices down.
So what I’m more focused on next is:
If fund flows continue to improve and BTC can complete chip rotation around 65,000, then the market’s next phase of trading may no longer be about "whether the economy will recession," but rather "how far in advance the next round of liquidity easing will be priced in." $BTC The essence of the current market is differentiation—if you don't pick the right sector, you miss out completely; if you hit the rhythm, it's a structural bull market.
$ADA surged nearly 20% in a week, while some coins' holdings remained completely stagnant for the entire month. This stark contrast is neither a bull market nor a bear market, but a result of precise capital rotation.
$BTC hovers around the 64k level, still more than 48% below its previous high, but the capital is not dormant; it's just searching for the path of least resistance to break through.
Small-cap memes like $PONS, $WKC, and $HEI are still being hyped, indicating speculative sentiment hasn't faded; privacy sector coins $ZEC rose 12% weekly, $XMR quietly broke through, showing some funds are seeking a "safe haven"; meanwhile, RWA sector's $ONDO dropped 10% weekly, and $XRP, $SUI, $PEPE are stuck in a tug-of-war.📊
Some interpret this as smart money efficiently rotating—altcoins with strong narratives can still win. But a more sober perspective is: the pulses in $ZEC and $ADA are just short-term capital shifts due to liquidity scarcity, essentially a zero-sum game rather than new inflows. Without $BTC effectively breaking previous highs, altcoins are unlikely to see broad-based rallies.
My focus is not on price fluctuations but on the sentiment behind capital flows. Currently, funds are moving into defensive assets—privacy coins and $XAUT (up 7% weekly) are attracting capital. This clearly reflects risk-averse sentiment, not the rallying cry of an altcoin season.🚨
Perhaps altcoin season hasn't disappeared but has fragmented into sector-by-sector bursts—privacy, Meme, AI, RWA each leading for three to five days. Only those who time the sector rhythm correctly can profit; those who don't won't even get a taste.
The conclusion is clear: before $BTC officially breaks out, all altcoin pulses should be treated as short-term rebounds—don't get attached or overconfident; take profits when you can. If the coins in your hands remain stagnant, it's not the market that's wrong, it's that you're on the wrong team—time to switch."Strong earnings report, but the stock price doesn't buy it: SanDisk is now trading not on performance, but on expectation gaps" $SNDK
SanDisk's current movement is very typical: the fundamentals haven't suddenly worsened, but capital has shifted from "chasing performance" to "repricing."
The latest earnings report itself remains very strong, with the market's core focus still on NAND demand driven by AI data centers and whether high profit margins can be sustained. Meanwhile, SanDisk's BiCS10 has entered the sample submission phase, with official disclosures showing its bit density increased by 59% compared to BiCS8, interface speed improved by up to 33%, and the long-term AI storage logic remains intact.
But the problem lies precisely here:
When everyone knows the performance is good, "good" itself is no longer a reason for the price to rise.
Looking at this 1-hour chart, after a surge near 1483, there was a rapid pullback, followed by another failed rebound near 1300. The current price is 1212, already back below MA5, MA10, and MA20. The BOLL middle band is around 1219, upper band 1234, lower band 1204, and the short-term price is running close to the lower band.
I am now more focused on two levels:
First, 1200–1186.
This is the first short-term defense line. If the 1186 24-hour low is effectively broken again, the market is likely to continue searching for a lower-level chip absorption area rather than immediately making a V-shaped reversal.
Second, 1235–1260.
To truly prove that short-term selling pressure has ended, the price must at least reclaim the BOLL middle band and short-term moving averages and further recover this range. Otherwise, I prefer to interpret all current small rebounds as corrections after a decline, not the start of a new major uptrend.
More notably, SanDisk will hold an Investor Day on August 13.
So in the coming days, what the market is really trading may not be the already announced earnings report, but whether management can provide a new medium- to long-term growth narrative.
My judgment is: SanDisk's long-term AI storage logic remains, but the short-term trend is clearly weaker than the fundamentals. The most dangerous mindset now is to assume "the company is good" means "the stock price should immediately rise."
A good company and a good buying point have never been the same thing.
Next, I would rather wait for the market to prove for itself: whether around 1200 is a position where capital is re-accumulating, or the next leg down continuation after breaking 1300.
What’s really worth discussing is—
If Investor Day again delivers an AI/NAND demand outlook exceeding expectations, is the current $1200 price a mispricing, or has the market already started trading the cycle peak in advance?Institutions haven't withdrawn! The net inflow of spot BTC ETF on 8/5 was 244.4M, with IBIT alone accounting for 244.4M, of which IBIT alone accounted for 196.8M; ETH ETF had a net inflow of $60.8M on the same day.
Preliminary data for 8/6 is only 9.3M, but since BlackRock's IBIT/ETHA has not yet been included, it cannot indicate a cooling of demand—refer to 8/5's initial value of 9.3M, which was revised from an initial 47.6M to $244.4M.
Conclusion: ETF buying is the "ballast stone" of this rebound. Don't be scared by the single-day initial value; wait for IBIT to be completed. In the long term, institutional allocation is still in its early stages.
#霍尔木兹谈判取得进展，油价风险降温了吗？ Non-farm payroll data released, can altcoins take off? Let me first clearly state my position, then break down the overall market!
First, the conclusion: Currently, I maintain a cautiously bearish stance, not chasing high-level altcoins. The market is just a stock rotation pulse triggered by macro positive factors, far from a full-scale bull run.
Current Market Status
BTC is stuck digesting the non-farm gains in the 64800-65300 range; all altcoin movements are completely tied to BTC, with no independent major trends. The ETH/BTC ratio has slightly risen, with a small amount of funds flowing into small-cap coins, but no external incremental funds entering the market. It's purely internal fund rotation, and hotspots are mostly one-day plays with poor sustainability.

Market logic: Without major Musk news to ignite it, MEME sector funds have no large-scale return; DOGE only has breakout potential if overall market sentiment turns wildly bullish, currently just a follower.
3. LPT (DePIN Distributed Computing Power)
Chart: Sector heat cooling, upward momentum far weaker than AA mainline, passively following BTC throughout.
Highly dependent on BTC trend, no new catalysts in the sector, token inflation dilutes holdings continuously, only collective sector hype offers short-term arbitrage opportunities.
4. SPCX, SNDK (RWA US stock derivatives)
Chart: Anchored to US stock trends, non-farm positive for risk assets, rising in sync;
Key risk reminder: High slippage and premium/discount volatility outside US stock trading hours, not actual stock holdings, carries counterparty redemption risk.
🧩 Three Core Characteristics of the Entire Altcoin Sector
1. Extreme market divergence
Funds are all concentrated in AA+AI sector hot targets; established DePIN and MEME sectors lag significantly, many obscure small altcoins remain flat.
This is not a broad bull market but a localized thematic market; choosing the wrong sector makes it hard to profit.
2. Upward momentum comes from non-farm macro positives, not crypto market’s own incremental funds
This BTC rise is driven by US employment data, not large external capital flooding into crypto. The short-term rally is backed by a large pile of profit-taking positions ready to be cashed out anytime.
3. ETH/BTC ratio is the master switch for altcoin markets
Only if Ethereum strengthens relative to BTC will funds continue flowing into small-cap coins; if ETH underperforms BTC, all altcoin short-term rallies will quickly fizzle out.
📊 Three Complete Scenarios for the Market Outlook
✅ Optimistic scenario (low probability)
BTC holds 64500 support and rallies with volume, ETH/BTC ratio keeps rising; AA sector continues releasing new positives, popular altcoins extend pulse rallies, but all are short-term arbitrage opportunities, absolutely not suitable for chasing high prices.
⚖️ Neutral consolidation (most probable)
BTC spikes then falls back to test support, altcoin sector sharply diverges.
Short-term doubling popular coins like BICO likely face profit-taking sell-offs; low-level obscure altcoins show weak gains; market hotspots rotate quickly, one-day plays become normal.
❌ Pessimistic scenario
BTC breaks below 64500 key support, non-farm positive fully digested; altcoins collectively decline, early explosive small caps will see especially severe pullbacks.
🎯 Four Key Signals to Watch
1. Whether BTC 64500 support holds, the foundation of all altcoin markets; if broken, all thematic markets end immediately.
2. Whether ETH/BTC ratio continues rising, determining sustained fund inflow into small caps.
3. For hyped high-level small caps, watch volume closely; new highs without volume indicate main holders unloading.
4. Whether AA/AI sector continues producing new project positives; without new narratives, sector heat will quickly fade.
Summary: Short-term altcoins will only have localized pulses, no comprehensive takeoff. I maintain a bearish stance, not blindly chasing high-level coins, patiently waiting for next week’s CPI data to decide the big direction.

Trader GouZong$SNDK SanDisk's financial report is truly "putting in the workload with all its might"—variance surged 372%, gross margin reached 84.6%, data center business doubled quarter-on-quarter, and it even approved a 14 billion yuan buyback. And what happened? The stock price was smashed like a dead dog. Just to get the median guidance for next quarter just a tiny bit less than the numbers the analysts dreamed about. How pathological has the market become? If your performance is blown apart, you still have to kneel and promise to keep breaking the ceiling next quarter, or else you'll be kicked out. Veterans on X see through it clearly; some people directly criticized: "Dongfang +372%, data centers nearly 300 million, just because your guidance isn't crazy enough, you smashed the market like this?" This quarterly report is really ridiculous. "Some people think it's overkill—AI storage demand hasn't stopped at all, and the probability of an oversold rebound is high. Once semiconductors restart, bears would be better off quickly and flee. To be honest, the bottom of this round of storage stocks isn't due to a collapse in demand, but because expectations have been damn overwhelmed. Over the past year, capital first hyped up computing power, then raised HBM prices into a belief, and finally elevated storage cycles like a holy grail. The problem has long changed—it's not about whether AI needs memory, but how fast demand can grow, and how much profit margins can be squeezed out. Micron at least has HBM and DRAM as buffers, SanDisk is pure NAND, and is as sensitive to enterprise orders and price fluctuations as Virgo. When high beta is amplified, the market can sneeze and it can catch a cold. But don't rush to sing a lament for AI storage. Long-term agreements locked in tens of billions of dollars in guaranteed income, and FY27 shipmentsThis round of offspring price increases did not occur across the board; it is a typical case of sector rotation and market differentiation.
On the public chain side, SOL is linked to the broader market, SUI is suppressed by token supply, and XRP's elasticity is relatively weak;
Niche narrative coins like BICO, LAB, and ALLO have many pulse market trends and should also pay attention to unlocking selling pressure;
Meme tiers are layered: PEPE and DOGE are sentiment indicators, while MMT, a small-cap coin, is dominated by speculative funds, posing significant risk of insertion.
In short: Funds are switching back and forth between sectors, small-cap demon coins are volatile, and during a volatile market, don't blindly chase short-term impulses—be sure to manage your positions. #非农意外转负, CPI becomes the key factor for rate hikes. #CLARITY表决推迟至9月, the regulatory window has been postponed What should we do if we haven't gotten in when the price hits a new all-time high?
Since 1950-01-03, the S&P 500 has reached new highs 1,533 times;
Since 1985-10-01, the Nasdaq-100 has reached new highs 818 times;
On average, these two indices hit new all-time highs about 20 times per year.
🔸 So for quality assets: new highs are not a danger signal, but a market norm.
⏰ If you buy at any new high:
▫️ Holding for 1 year, average returns range from 9.8% to 20.5%, with profits over 74% of the time;
▫️ Holding for 3 years, average returns range from 30.5% to 59.2%, with profits over 85% of the time;
▫️ Holding for 5 years, average returns range from 56.8% to 126.8%, with profits over 80% of the time;
▫️ Holding for 10 years, average returns range from 172.4% to 249.9%, with profits over 77% of the time;
Historically, buying at any new high and holding for 20 years yields a 100% success rate, with average cumulative returns reaching 637% and 626% respectively.
So encountering new highs is not scary; what’s truly worth fearing may never be buying at a new high, but rather missing out for a long time due to fear of new highs. 🚨【Earnings Observer】SpaceX Rises After Lockup Expiration, What’s Next?
After the first batch of restricted shares of SpaceX were unlocked, about 911.5 million shares entered the tradable window.
The market originally widely expected the unlock to bring significant selling pressure, but the actual trend was completely the opposite—the stock price once rose about 6%.📈
But to say now that "the negative impact of the unlock has already been digested by the market" is, in my opinion, premature.
It looks more like a typical short squeeze.
Previously, after the earnings report was released, the market formed a highly consistent pessimistic expectation due to high capital expenditures, losses, and massive unlocking, with many funds positioning short in advance.
However, after the actual unlock, selling pressure did not immediately appear; instead, the price rose.
This easily triggers short covering, stop losses, and forced liquidations, further amplifying the upward movement.🔥
The real test is still ahead.
If the unlocked shares continue to be released and the stock price comes under pressure again, then this rise is more likely providing liquidity for subsequent selling.
But if the market can continue to absorb the new selling pressure and the stock price remains strong, then it can be said:
the negative impact brought by the unlock may really have been digested by the market.
So, this 6% rise currently only means:
👉 The shorts lost this round first.
But this does not mean:
👉 The bulls have already won the whole game.
What comes next is the key.👀
#SpaceX #USStocks #Earnings #Stocks #Investment #MarketAnalysis 🥇 Gold gained 7.27% this week to $4,339.75/oz, supported by weaker U.S. jobs data, lower rate-hike expectations, safe-haven demand, and central-bank buying.
The key question is whether this is just an easing-driven rally or a longer-term shift into safe-haven assets. With speculative positioning already elevated, gold may have less room for disappointment.
My view: macro factors remain the main driver. Not financial advice.
#Gold4300EasingOrHedge
#AIMemoryStressTest
#OKXOrbitTopics In July, the U.S. lost 23,000 nonfarm payrolls, while the market had been waiting for an increase of over 80,000. As a result, the Nasdaq rose 1.3% that day, and the S&P 500 also gained 0.6%, hitting a new high. It looks like Wall Street is celebrating worsening employment, $QQQ these tech stocks are actually calculating interest rates. With employment suddenly weakening, the pressure for the Fed to continue raising rates in September has eased a bit. The 10-year Treasury yield rebounded from 4.67% to 4.64%, $NVDA rose 2.3%, and $AVGO increased 1.7%. When interest rates are lower, people are willing to pay a bit more for the profits of tech companies a few years from now, so tech stocks move first. This nonfarm payroll can't just focus on the negative 23,000. Local government education positions lost 50,000 per month, likely influenced by the summer vacation seasonal adjustment, so the monthly numbers are not as bleak as the headline suggests. But in May and June, the total was revised down by 103,000 yuan. The unemployment rate dropped to 4.1%, mainly because some people left the labor market and stopped looking for work. Looking at all these together, American employment has indeed slowed down; just one month alone is not enough to directly judge a recession. Ellen Zentner of Morgan Stanley believes that weak employment will ease the pressure on the Fed to raise rates in September, but ultimately, inflation will depend on next week. This judgment is similar to the market situation: tech stocks have benefited first from easing interest rate pressure, but the economy will remain weak is not yet over. The US stock market is now hoping for a slight cooling of employment, but at the same time, fearing that corporate profits will also cool. It's hard to get that level of boundaries. If inflation hits hard next week,Heavy data sets the tone for the market, everyone must keep a close eye!!!
📊 Full breakdown of this nonfarm core data
• July nonfarm employment: -23,000, market previously expected an increase of 80,000, first negative employment growth this year
• Previous values sharply revised down: May and June employment data collectively revised down by 103,000, the hot employment trend in the first two months was purely overestimated
• Unemployment rate slightly fell to 4.1%, behind which is a decline in labor force participation rate, showing obvious internal contradictions in the data
• Average hourly earnings monthly growth only 0.1%, far below market expectation of 0.3%, wage inflation pressure significantly eased
Market reaction immediately after data release
• September rate hike probability plummeted: before data release 58% dropped directly to 40%, rate hike expectations significantly cooled but not completely gone
• U.S. Treasury yields weakened across the board, dollar index plunged rapidly
• Gold surged sharply; U.S. growth stocks collectively rebounded; risk assets across the market all benefited, perfectly illustrating "bad news is good news"
Key logic highlights
Weak employment only delays the pace of rate hikes, does not mean rate hikes are canceled. The Fed's core target remains 2% inflation, next week's CPI is the ultimate key to judging whether September will see a rate hike!
Complete scenario analysis of two CPI outcomes
Scenario 1: CPI exceeds market expectations, inflation rises again
Deep signal: wage growth slows, but consumer goods prices remain high, inflation stickiness persists
Fed stance: retains possibility of September rate hike, officials release hawkish remarks again
Asset linkage trends:
◦ Gold: short-term spike followed by sharp pullback, profit-taking concentrated
◦ SanDisk, Hynix, SPCX: growth stocks pressured again, valuations continue to be cut
◦ Cryptocurrencies ETH, BICO: market risk appetite cools, altcoins will correct more sharply than mainstream coins
◦ U.S. Treasury yields rebound and recover, dollar returns to upward channel
Scenario 2: CPI below expectations, core inflation continues downward
Deep signal: employment and inflation both weaken, September rate hike basically unlikely, funds start to pre-position for future rate cuts
Asset linkage trends:
◦ Gold naturally pushes to new stage highs
◦ SanDisk, Hynix storage sector valuations recover, oversold rebound opens space
◦ SPCX growth stocks continue to enjoy loose liquidity benefits
◦ BTC, ETH, BICO and other high-elasticity coins continue upward trend
Key holdings detailed analysis
1. SanDisk: Nonfarm data briefly provides a repair window, but earnings report pressure remains. Only if CPI weakens simultaneously can a sustained rebound occur; if inflation data heats up, this rebound will be wiped out immediately, retesting 1200 support.
2. SPCX: rebound height after unlocking fully tied to liquidity environment. CPI exceeding expectations pressures stock price; inflation cooling expands rebound space.
3. BICO/ETH: small coins extremely sensitive to macro liquidity. CPI positive triggers thematic speculative rally continuation; inflation rebound causes high-level altcoins to face rapid sell-off.
4. Gold: Nonfarm is just a short-term appetizer rally, next week's CPI will decide if this rise can continue, not recommended to blindly chase at high levels.
Key risk reminder
This nonfarm data has obvious flaws: employment positions decreased while unemployment rate fell, rooted in lower labor participation rate, cannot directly conclude economy is in deep recession.
Summary
Nonfarm data greatly weakened market rate hike expectations but did not completely lock out rate hikes. Market currently in a vacuum waiting for CPI, all asset rebounds at this stage require inflation data confirmation to establish trend.
⚠️ Friendly reminder: The above is only a personal market review, not investment advice. Cryptocurrency domestic trading is not legally protected and carries very high risk. Trader DogzongOnce a chip leaves the factory, it can basically only run one model, so it's not as flexible as a GPU. AMD $AMD happened to set its sights on Taalas, the company behind it, and had just signed an acquisition agreement. Taalas embeds a certain AI model along with its parameters into the chip, and after leaving the factory, it basically stays with that job. GPUs are like kitchens that can cook any dish, while Taalas is more like a machine that only makes one product. You can do fewer things, but you don't have to repeatedly move model parameters from external memory, so both speed and power consumption can be reduced. Its publicly released HC1 runs Llama 3.1 8B, with Taalas reporting speeds close to 17,000 tokens per user per second. This figure comes from the company's own testing, and since HC1 is still a technical demonstration, don't directly compete with GPUs in large data centers for now. The most troublesome part is model updates. Today, I'm installing Llama 3.1, and in a few months everyone will have a new model, so this chip will be in an awkward position. Taalas said that changing the model only requires two layers of metal, which can take about two months to make a new version. However, customers still need to use the same model long-term and have a sufficiently large call volume, so making a separate chip is cost-effective. AMD stated in the announcement that it will combine this technology with Instinct GPUs to create a system solution. My understanding is that parts with frequently changing models and complex tasks should continue to be handed over to the GPU, while long-term repetitive inference tasks like customer service, search, and translation can be entrusted to dedicated chips. That's AMDSeptember is becoming less a scheduling detail and more a test of whether U.S. crypto policy can hold a broad coalition together. The CLARITY Act remains a stated priority, but the unresolved mix of conflict rules, consumer safeguards, anti-fraud measures and bank concerns over yield products and stablecoins makes a narrow compromise difficult.
My read: institutional movement onchain may strengthen the case for a federal framework, yet it does not settle the harder question of how exchanges, DeFi and major tokens should be governed. The quality of any September agreement will matter more than the speed of the vote.
#CLARITYVotePushedToSep #OKXOrbit#非农意外转负，CPI成加息关键
The nonfarm payrolls really confused the market this time.
US July nonfarm employment unexpectedly decreased by 23,000, not only far below expectations, but the May and June data were also significantly revised downward.
With the employment data cooling off, the market immediately began to reprice the expectation of a rate cut in September.
But here’s the problem—the unemployment rate actually dropped to 4.1%.
So the current market is not simply "poor employment = positive for risk assets," but has entered a more complicated phase:
Employment is cooling down, but inflation has not been fully resolved.
This is why the real focus going forward is not the nonfarm payrolls, but next week's CPI.
If CPI continues to cool, expectations for a policy shift in September may further heat up, giving BTC and other risk assets a chance to continue benefiting from liquidity expectations.
But if CPI unexpectedly rises again, the hawkish expectations that were just suppressed could very well make a comeback.
So my current judgment is simple:
Nonfarm payrolls are responsible for creating volatility, but CPI may determine the direction of the next phase.
Macro data is increasingly prone to reversals, so in trading, one should not rush to conclusions based on a single data point.
Going forward, what I care about more is not "whether there will be a cut in September," but:
How the market will reprice after the CPI is released. 📊 NFP weak, but CPI is the real market trigger!
July jobs fell 23K vs +80K expected, while wages also cooled. Rate-hike expectations dropped, yields and USD fell, while gold and risk assets bounced.
But this alone doesn’t cancel a September hike—the next CPI report is key.
🔥 Hot CPI: Fed stays hawkish → risk assets, crypto & growth stocks could sell off.
📉 Cool CPI: Hike expectations fade → liquidity improves → BTC, ETH, BICO and growth stocks could rally.
Bottom line: NFP opened the door, but CPI decides the next move. ⚠️
#PayrollsDropCPIFocus
#AIMemoryStressTest
#Gold4300EasingOrHedge #Nonfarm payrolls unexpectedly turned negative, CPI becomes the key to rate hikes
This time, the nonfarm payrolls really disrupted market expectations.
In July, U.S. employment unexpectedly decreased by 23,000, and May and June data were significantly revised downward, causing the market to immediately start betting on a rate cut in September.
But one detail cannot be ignored: the unemployment rate actually dropped to 4.1%.
So now the market is actually very conflicted — employment is cooling down, but not bad enough for the Federal Reserve to have to immediately pivot.
This is also why, after the nonfarm data came out, the real main focus has shifted.
Now everyone is watching not "whether nonfarm payrolls are good or not," but: will next week's CPI continue to cool down?
If CPI also weakens, that means cooling employment + easing inflation, and expectations for easing in September may further rise, benefiting BTC and other risk assets.
But if CPI again exceeds expectations and inflation stickiness persists, the hawkish expectations just knocked down could very well come back.
So this market move, nonfarm payrolls are just the first hurdle.
What really determines September's policy expectations might be the next CPI report.
How the crypto market moves next probably depends on whether this data shows some favor. 🚨 NFP Shock: Good for Rate-Cut Hopes, Bad for the Economy?
U.S. nonfarm payrolls came in at -23K vs. expectations above +80K, while previous months were also revised lower by around 103K.
A mild slowdown could be positive for markets by reducing rate-hike expectations. But a sharp deterioration in employment raises a bigger concern: the U.S. economy may be losing momentum faster than expected.
📌 Potential market impact:
1️⃣ Fed: Rate-hike expectations could fade further, while rate-cut bets may increase if upcoming CPI and PCE data also soften.
2️⃣ Dollar & Gold: A weaker labor market could pressure the dollar while supporting gold and Treasuries through the rate-cut and safe-haven narratives.
3️⃣ Tech stocks: Lower-rate expectations may support high-growth stocks in the short term, but prolonged economic weakness could eventually pressure risk assets.
4️⃣ Financial risk: If weak employment spreads into consumption, credit and corporate earnings, recession risks could increase.
For now, the key data points to watch are CPI, PCE and the next NFP report.
The market may be celebrating lower rate expectations, but the bigger question is whether this is simply economic cooling — or the beginning of something more serious.
#PayrollsDropCPIFocus #AIMemoryStressTest #SpaceXUnlockRebound Yen Interest Rate Differential Turning Point: Why the Global Market Relief Is Just an Aphrodisiac?
The joint intervention by the US and Japan pulled the yen exchange rate back from 164 to around 155, and the Bank of Japan kept the interest rate at 1.0% in the July meeting. This gave many funds, still shaken by last week's major crash, a sigh of relief, thinking the arbitrage liquidation storm was over.
But from my big-picture perspective, this brief recovery rally might just be a narcotic.
Kazuo Ueda's extremely hawkish stance has already put the schedule of another 25 basis points rate hike in September or October on the table. More troublesome is that arbitrage funds have not completely exited due to yen volatility; instead, they have started shifting to low-interest currencies like the euro and Swiss franc, continuing to seek arbitrage exits in the shadows.
This means the liquidity noose hanging over global risk assets has only temporarily loosened half a notch; the fundamental trend of interest rate differential contraction has not changed.
Before the right-side trend of the interest rate differential reversal is established, any rushed short-term moves to catch a rebound are extremely dangerous. It is better to watch the rebound helplessly during this confusing recovery period than to blindly bet against this unresolved arbitrage giant before the Bank of Japan's policy meeting in September.
When everyone is celebrating the defense line holding firm, honestly being a spectator is the common sense that trend traders need to survive.#霍尔木兹谈判取得进展，油价风险降温了吗？
I am the mid-term intelligence guy. The Hormuz negotiations have indeed made progress, with Brent retreating from the early-month war premium high to the $79–83 range, and the market is indeed trading on expectations of "navigation restoration."
But to be honest: the risk is only "discounted," not "cleared." Currently, it is just a temporary framework (navigation arrangements for 1–3 months), the final text has not been signed, the Iranian parliament is still reviewing a bill restricting US and Israeli vessels, attacks near Qeshm Island continue, and actual ship traffic is far below pre-war levels.
From a mid-term perspective, as long as the agreement is not finalized, minesweeping is not completed, and the war risk premium has not been genuinely reduced, Brent crude around $80 is the "risk option" price—good news will push it down to 78, problems will push it back up above 85.
I do not consider this negotiation progress as the end of geopolitical risk, only as a temporary compression of volatility. Real cooling will have to wait until oil tankers actually resume loaded navigation, the US lifts the blockade on Iranian ports, and the nuclear issue does not reignite—that will be the time to reduce short oil positions and go long on shipping recovery. Many people watch the rebound only to see whether BTC has risen or not, which easily leads to pitfalls. To truly judge whether the market can go far, the core lies in market breadth and the order of capital rotation.
The complete forward rotation path is: first confirm the direction by bottoming out BTC and ETH; Then the mainstream market of SOL and BNB strengthened and outperformed Bitcoin; then spread to narrative tracks like DeFi, RWA, AI, and DePIN; Finally, high-beta high-beta memes like DOGE and PEPE erupted, with sentiment peaking.
Once the order is reversed, high-level Memes collapse first, so proactive defense is necessary.
So don't just look at the dollar price of a single coin; focus on BTC dominance, ETH/BTC, SOL/BTC, and the broader spread of the altcoin sector. #非农意外转负, CPI becomes the key factor for rate hikes. #CLARITY表决推迟至9月, the regulatory window has been postponed Picking the wrong coins means your holdings stay stagnant all month, while $ADA surged nearly 20% in a week. This is the true face of the current market—$BTC hovers around the 64k mark, still over 48% below its previous high, but the capital is not asleep; it’s just rotating precisely.
Small-cap memes like $PONS, $WKC, and $HEI are still being hyped, while the privacy sector sees $ZEC up 12% weekly and $XMR quietly breaking out. In contrast, the RWA track’s $ONDO dropped 10% this week, and $XRP, $SUI, and $PEPE are stuck in a tug-of-war. 📊
Some interpret this as smart money efficiently rotating, with altcoins that have strong narratives still able to win. But a more sober view is: the pulses in $ZEC and $ADA are just short-term shifts due to liquidity scarcity; without $BTC breaking its previous high, altcoins can’t sustain big waves.
My focus isn’t on price but on capital moving into defensive assets—privacy coins and $XAUT (up 7% weekly) are attracting funds. This clearly signals risk-off sentiment, not an alt season. 🚨 Maybe alt season hasn’t disappeared but has fragmented into bursts by sector, and only those who time the sectors right can profit.The increased risk appetite in the U.S. stock market is transmitting to the crypto market through cross-market linkage chains. The Russell 2000 index hit a new all-time high weekly close, and the U.S. stock market's weekly market capitalization surged by $2.8 trillion, reflecting a significant improvement in the liquidity environment dominated by small-cap stocks. If the strong momentum in small-cap stocks continues and facilitates cross-market capital rotation, the overflow liquidity will boost the catch-up potential of large-cap crypto and mainstream altcoins. However, if macro recession expectations intensify and cause a rapid decline in U.S. stock market risk appetite, the transmission mechanism for incremental capital inflow into the crypto market will be immediately interrupted.
#财报观察员：解禁后反涨，SpaceX后续怎么看？ #Uniswap进军发射台，UNI能否打开新叙事？ #Polymarket洽谈10亿美元融资，估值超200亿美元MU and SNDK plunged sharply after earnings reports, but don't rush to say the AI memory hype is over.
I tend to believe this is a repricing after expectations were overdrawn. Demand hasn't disappeared, but the market is no longer satisfied with "decent performance"; it demands companies continue to significantly exceed expectations.
The storage chain is being reinserted into AI trades for comparison, and the market is examining the gap between earnings reports, guidance, and valuations.
Market performance: $XMU -2.92% latest 876.4; $XSNDK -7.35% latest 1212.32; $XSKHY -4.81% latest 137.84.
Focus on the board:
$XMU: Support expected around 820, defense at 770; short-term resistance at 930, if it holds, then look at 990.
$XSNDK: Support expected around 1100, defense at 1050; short-term resistance at 1300, if it holds, then look at 1400.
Operational inclination: Do not bottom-fish, wait for confirmation of a stop in the decline and support. The sector is still digesting high expectations; first see if the decline can narrow.
My judgment: The AI memory market is not over, but the easy money in the first phase has passed. Going forward, only realization ability matters; if orders, demand, and profit margins don't keep up, the market will cut valuations.
#存储股财报后续跌，AI内存牛市还稳吗？ When 911.5 million chess pieces are simultaneously moved out of confinement squares, amateurs see an avalanche, while grandmasters see a carefully calculated counterattack route.
SpaceX's lock-up period turned to historical dust on August 6, yet the stock price rebounded against the trend by six percentage points. This is not mysterious—the real threat never lies on the day the lock-up is lifted, but at the moment all players have adjusted their formations accordingly. Those who quietly reduced positions in July, those who predicted a narrowing net loss three days before the earnings report, have long regarded the unlock as a neutral opening move rather than a check in the middle game.
Look again at the chessboard revealed for the first time: $7.8 billion in revenue, nearly double year-over-year; a net loss of $540 million, much gentler than market expectations. But if you truly view it from a grandmaster’s perspective, these numbers are just the pieces on the surface. We only care about three lines: whether the next guidance is steady, whether the pawn profit margin advances step by step, and most importantly—the capital expenditure on AI computing power along this diagonal line, is it reinforcing the king’s castle or destroying the Great Wall?
Concerns about expanding losses are essentially the cost of sacrificing pieces in the middle game. To break through the vertical line of AI infrastructure, you must tolerate losing a few pawns on the opponent’s half. SpaceX is clearly making long-term moves sacrificing space to buy time, and XPLTR, as another piece on the same map, mirrors this like a pair of rooks—one rook restrains the flank, the other works along the baseline. The market watches the synchronized moves; we watch whether each move hides follow-up tactics lurking twenty steps ahead.
So today’s rebound—has the unlock pressure been priced in, or must the story of space AI deliver a tougher answer? Two camps of players intertwine in the center of the middle game forming an open clock. Some choose to exchange pieces and simplify, securing their gains; others choose to castle and continue holding. This is the most exciting middle game—no move is absolutely correct, only every move consumes the opponent’s time.
And I have already seen that rook lurking deep in the endgame. It is neither rushing to capture pawns nor to check the king, but firmly occupies the open line that decides victory or defeat.
In a real chess game, the most dangerous check often appears the very second you think you have unlocked the blockade. #SpaceXUnlockRebound Gold broke above $4,300, while BTC stayed near $64K and ETH struggled below $1,900 despite softer jobs data and rising rate-cut expectations.
BTC saw strong ETF inflows, but Fear & Greed remained in “Extreme Fear,” while volume weakened. The negative Coinbase premium also shows continued U.S. selling pressure.
Gold is benefiting directly from falling real rates, whereas crypto remains tied to ETF flows, regulation, and institutional sentiment.
Same macro wind, but gold and crypto are sailing in different directions. 📊

⭐Reverse rally on unlock day: Is the bad news all priced in?
On August 6, 911.5 million shares were unlocked (worth over 100 billion), with market expectations of sell-off. However, the stock price closed up 6.14% at $114.92 against the trend. The day before, the stock had already plunged 14% after the earnings report, releasing pressure in advance. Technically, RSI hit bottom, and support appeared at $105-110, increasing the probability of a phase bottom.
⭐Supply pressure far from over
· On December 8, the overall lock-up period expires, and tradable shares will account for 40% of total shares;
· Elon Musk himself will have 6.4 billion shares unlocked by mid-2027;
· Short positions account for 36% of the float, indicating intense battles.
⭐Earnings report highlights: Starlink generates cash, AI burns money
Q2 revenue was $7.8 billion (+92%), net loss narrowed to $541 million. Starlink revenue was $4.29 billion with operating profit of $1.66 billion, the only profitable segment; AI revenue was $2.56 billion (+247%) but loss was $1.26 billion, capital expenditure was $18.4 billion (AI accounted for $15.8 billion)—this is the main reason for the post-earnings plunge.
⭐What’s next?
Short-term unlock pressure is being digested in phases, but a larger unlock looms in December, limiting rebound potential (still below the $135 IPO price). The long-term core conflict: Musk’s vision of the stars vs. shareholders’ demand for real returns. Starlink generates cash, AI burns money, and capital expenditure is a black hole. JPMorgan’s target price is $240, Goldman Sachs $220, but Morningstar’s fair value estimate is only $62.
🖤 Xin Xin’s little thinking: Current holders should watch Q3 Starlink user growth and AI loss narrowing progress; those not yet in should wait for a pullback to $105-110 before observing further. The unlock day started well, but the real test is in December.📌昨晚那份非农数据直接拉胯：就业人数居然少了2.3万，市场还指望着涨8万呢，结果全砸脸上。5月和6月数据又被往下修了10万，简直是补刀。失业率从4.2%微降到4.1%看着挺好看，可劳动力参与率也跟着掉到61%。 别被表面数字忽悠了，这压根不是经济变强，而是就业市场在降温，不少人直接退出不干了。这种情况下，市场对放水的预期又起来了，短线上对加密货币这些风险资产还是偏多的。 BTC这边 整体就是突破后高位窄幅震荡，重心还是偏上。 关键位置 下方生命线：64600。4小时实体跌破这里，多头逻辑先歇菜，可能去测64100甚至更低。 上方压力：65300-65500。真要打开上行空间，必须硬刚过去并站稳65500。 以太坊这边也别闲着 ETH基本跟着BTC的节奏走，昨晚数据出来后也跟着冲了一波，最高摸到3480附近，但量能和力度明显比BTC弱一截。现在回落到3420-3450区间高位磨，整体还是受益于放水预期，风险偏好回升对它有支撑。 技术上日线均线也在慢慢收敛向上，下方关键支撑先看3380-3400这块，这里不破多头还能撑着。1小时动能同样有点疲，4小时和日线相对健康点。 下方防守位：3380。📊 Stablecoin Data Tells a Different Story
USD stablecoins’ share of cash in circulation climbed from under 1% in 2020 to 12.3% in April 2026, but has since slipped to 11.9%.
At the same time, $BTC is down roughly 27% YTD, while stablecoin market cap just recorded its first quarterly decline since Q3 2023.
🤔 That doesn’t exactly look like fresh capital aggressively rotating into crypto.
The key question now is whether liquidity starts expanding again — or if the market remains in a capital-preservation phase.
#PayrollsDropCPIFocus #AIMemoryStressTest #SpaceXUnlockRebound The Strait of Hormuz is the main load-bearing beam of the global energy infrastructure. Now, the US-Iran talks say "progress is smooth," but what I see on site is just a "structural safety" notice hanging on the barricade—underneath the notice, cracks are still leaking water.
The US and Iran are negotiating passage at the table, and oil prices have responded by falling: WTI dropped 1.32% this week to 76.35, Brent fell 1.54% to 81.50. ICE and CFTC net long positions have simultaneously contracted. The market interprets this as "the risk premium dismantling project has started." But I deal with concrete, rebar, and load curves every day, and I know very well: load-bearing walls never rely on handshakes at the negotiation table; they rely on bolts, joints, embedded parts, and repeated static load tests. Iran publicly denies making concessions, the sanctions list has not been torn up, passage rules have not been rewritten, and insurance clauses have not been revised—these four structural pillars have not been poured even one.
The so-called "imminent agreement" is at best a conceptual plan. What is a conceptual plan? It counts in the bidding PPT but not in the structural calculation book. The real construction drawings must detail the insurance liability for each ship, the approval nodes for each compliance verification, and the issuing authority for each clearance instruction. Before these details are locked into nodes, the oil price drop is just a safety drill on the construction site—the alarm sounds, personnel evacuate, but the fire source still lies in the warehouse.
Now let's look at $XCH. It is a crypto asset with "space" as its staking logic; theoretically, space itself is the foundation. But top-level designers all understand one iron rule: no matter how wide the foundation is, it must match the load curve of the upper structure. The fluctuations in Hormuz are a sudden inflection point in the global macro load curve—when the load-bearing beam of energy transport shows cracks, the expected load-bearing capacity of all risk asset foundations must be re-examined, and XCH is no exception. Its price fluctuations have never been a problem of its own framework but a sign that the entire site is undergoing a crustal micro-adjustment. The foundation downstairs is shifting, while the residents upstairs are still arguing whether the wall cracks are a decoration issue or a structural problem—this itself is the most dangerous construction misjudgment.
Agreement texts are not construction. Agreements are just signature lines on blueprints; construction is another matter. The most dangerous moment on the construction site is precisely the calm before the night of pouring. The decline in net long positions indicates institutional investors have begun dismantling the scaffolding—they don't want to stand in a building that hasn't passed inspection yet, waiting for the ceiling to collapse.
My judgment: the load-bearing wall of Hormuz has not yet passed inspection. Until Iran writes concessions into the contract and the sanctioning parties nail the removal clauses into the nodes, this round of oil price decline is only temporary support, not structural topping out. The cracks on the load-bearing wall are still waiting for the first real batch of grout. #hormuztalksadvance Holding a position makes me a bit anxious, and my hands start to itch.
I opened the $MMT intraday chart, but my eyes drifted to the bookshelf.
In "How to Select Growth Stocks," Fisher calls this the chit-chat method.
To understand a company, ask its competitors, suppliers, and employees.
In crypto, isn’t this just a reminder not to only look at official announcements?
Whether developers are active and what the community is discussing is more honest than candlestick charts.
It surged 43.97% in 24 hours.
Current price is 0.236400, with a trading volume of 67 million U.
I didn’t rush to chase.
I checked the project directory and then lurked in the community for another half hour.
The code has updates, but the rhythm doesn’t quite match the price.
Fisher’s premise is that chit-chat must be with knowledgeable people.
After looking around, the community is lively, but the token is uncertain.
I’ll wait for the hype to die down and see who’s still active in the code and community.
#MMT #InvestmentPhilosophy #TradingMindset #CryptoCommunity #非农意外转负，CPI成加息关键
After the unexpected negative non-farm payrolls, will the September rate hike remain on hold? The key lies in next week's CPI!
July's non-farm payrolls unexpectedly decreased by 23,000, and May and June were also significantly revised downwards, causing the market to immediately lower expectations for a September rate hike. However, with the unemployment rate dropping to 4.1%, the Fed is still focused on inflation stickiness.
The main trading theme has now shifted: from "how good are the non-farm payrolls" to "will the CPI rewrite expectations again."
My views:
1. September is more likely to keep rates unchanged unless the CPI rises again.
2. Going forward, focus on only one variable: CPI. Officials' statements and market sentiment are noise; only inflation data can truly rewrite the policy path.
3. Facing repeatedly disappointing data, I will shorten trading cycles and reduce positions, only trading volatility around data windows, no longer heavily betting on outcomes in advance.
4. Macro data is reversing too quickly now; guessing a rate hike correctly once is less important than focusing on the variable that truly affects positions. Next week's CPI is the real watershed.
Finally, whether it's non-farm payrolls or CPI data, they are only reference factors. Traders, please seize opportunities and control risks! $SPCX latest close at $133.11, up about 15.9% in a single day, with an intraday high of 134.45. The key point is that on August 6, about 911.5 million shares were unlocked. This bearish factor had scared the market for a long time in advance, but after it landed, the expected crazy sell-off did not occur. Instead, it directly turned into a short squeeze following the bearish landing.
The funding rate once dropped to around -0.08%, clearly squeezing the shorts into a mess. As a result, the price surged from 115 all the way to above 130. In simple terms, the shorts paid money and then contributed to a stop-loss fuel rally. 🤣
Today is the 8th.
4-hour net inflow +1.51 million, 8-hour +1.74 million, indicating that mid-term funds are indeed still flowing in; however, within 1 hour, a slight net outflow has reappeared, meaning the chasing funds are starting to cool down.
The key is the long-short ratio: $SPCX
Binance large holders' long-short ratio is only 0.9937, basically even or slightly bearish.
More people are calling for longs, but those actually holding large positions to push the price up are not that excited yet.
Currently, the outlook remains bearish below 125, with stop-loss above 140.
Around 125 is the SPCX IPO pricing area, naturally prone to chip contention.
The issue now is not the direction but that the position is hard to chase.
There will still be phased unlocking pressure later, so this surge is more suitable to be seen as a repair rally after the short squeeze and bearish landing.
The market is also following up with July's non-farm payrolls to blow up the shorts. The main force behind $SPCX is still present.#非农意外转负，CPI成加息关键
On August 8, the unexpected negative nonfarm payrolls combined with the CPI uncertainty are causing global asset pricing to be caught in a fierce tug-of-war between "recession fears" and "policy battles."
· Gold (XAU): Oscillating strongly at high levels. Weak employment strengthens rate cut expectations, providing a bottom support for gold. However, if CPI data exceeds expectations, it will suppress rate cut space, possibly causing a sharp short-term drop in gold prices. The current real interest rate remains the core anchor.
· Crude Oil (WTI/Brent): Clearly under pressure. The market is more concerned about the logic of "negative employment growth → economic recession → demand contraction," which outweighs geopolitical supply risks. If subsequent economic data continues to deteriorate, downward pressure on oil prices will increase.
· U.S. Stocks (S&P/Nasdaq): Increased volatility, growth stocks under pressure. Weak nonfarm payrolls once triggered recession fears, but the falling unemployment rate brought some relief. The market is currently shifting from a "rate cut celebration" to "recession pricing." If CPI again exceeds expectations, "stagflation" fears will arise, especially unfavorable for overvalued tech stocks.
· BTC (Bitcoin): Linked with risk assets, hard to stand alone. Recently highly correlated with the Nasdaq, short-term driven by liquidity expectations. If the market enters "risk-off mode," BTC will be pressured along with risk assets; only when rate cuts are confirmed and no recession occurs can a rebound be expected.
💕💕In short, the core contradiction in the current market is "bad news is just bad news" (economic weakness hitting demand). Before the CPI release on August 12, the market is likely to remain highly volatile with unclear direction.
