Today I saw that UniSat has consolidated the API documentation into a single entry point. Previously, the materials were scattered everywhere, but now from checking interfaces, reading guides to applying for keys, everything can be done in one place. On the surface, this is to make things easier for developers, but to me, it looks more like filling a gap. Wallets are for users, while documentation and APIs are for application developers. Lowering the threshold makes it possible for people to actually write things on this system later. The halving is about a week away, and FIP-102 plans to bring some FB to the Bitcoin mainnet. At that time, if the development side is also easier to connect with, FB will no longer be just about mining and rewards, but more like something used in this infrastructure. Getting the documentation in order first gives applications a chance to catch up. I quite agree with this order. With the halving approaching, actions that pave the way for Builders give me more anticipation than just releasing another feature introduction. #FB #UniSat $FB Treat ETFs and gold as dual anchors to understand the market logic of $BTC, $ETH, and $SOL 🔍
When trading crypto, you can't just focus on candlestick charts. BTC ETF capital flows and gold price trends are currently the two most important external observation anchors.
BTC directly absorbs institutional buying from ETFs, and the institutions' stance determines major support levels; ETH is more elastic, and when macro bearish factors arrive, its decline will be sharper than BTC's; $SOL benefits from its own public chain ecosystem, allowing it to generate localized excess returns during market fluctuations, but it remains vulnerable to systemic corrections.
The logic distinction between the two: ETFs represent institutional confidence in crypto; gold represents global risk aversion sentiment.
When ETFs keep flowing in + gold weakens, it's a golden window for crypto bulls; if ETFs stagnate + gold surges, it's a risk warning signal.
Futures are not suitable for betting on one-sided moves. Don't blindly go long just because ETFs are flowing in, nor blindly short just because gold is strengthening. Observing the resonance of these two indicators is more practical than simply guessing price movements.

#财报观察员：博通与戴尔接棒，AI回报再受检验 Top influencers on foreign networks predict another step forward; 0.01 will be reached soon 👀
The node reward bug incident is fermenting, combined with exchange deposit maintenance, causing the foreign network community discussions to explode. Many overseas influencers have reinforced their views again: the 0.01 threshold is getting closer and closer, and the prediction is being realized step by step.
But the more the entire network reaches consensus on a price level, the greater the trap in the game.
🔻 Logic behind the bearish realization
1. The aftermath of the protocol bug incident is still ongoing. Although it’s not a team-initiated token issuance, the solution for handling the excess tokens remains undecided, leaving the market uncertain and panic selling pressure persists.
2. The exchange temporarily closed deposits, so external incremental funds cannot enter the market; only existing chips are competing inside, lacking buying support.
3. The market is about to enter the employment data week. If employment data exceeds expectations with a hawkish tone, the entire crypto market will be under pressure, and small-cap tokens like CORE will be dragged down, accelerating the test of the lower psychological threshold.
4. A large number of bottom-fishing orders are piled near 0.01, liquidity is concentrated, making it easy to trigger a spike to touch this level.
⚠️ Beware of the reverse scenario
1. Everyone is waiting to bottom-fish at 0.01, but the main force may not follow the crowd’s expectations.
Scenario A: Quickly dip below 0.01, sweep all ambushed long stop losses, then rapidly pull back, trapping all bottom-fishers.
Scenario B: No chance to enter at 0.01 at all, absorb panic chips and rebound directly, leaving many waiting to bottom-fish empty-handed.
2. Even if the price touches 0.01, it doesn’t mean a solid bottom or an immediate reversal.
If excess reward tokens flow into the market and selling pressure is not relieved, breaking below 0.01 could lead to deeper declines. Don’t treat this psychological price as an absolute bottom-fishing holy ground.
🎯 Practical approach
Don’t go all-in betting on 0.01.
- Spot: When it truly retraces near this level, try small positions in batches to test, always keep a backup plan;
- Futures: Leverage risk is extremely high at this level, with a high probability of spikes triggering stop losses, so reduce position size as much as possible.
Top influencers on foreign networks are just sharing opinions; the market moves based on actual developments, not predictions. The final direction depends on the official solution for excess tokens and this week’s employment data impact on the market.
Brothers, if it really approaches 0.01, are you ready to enter and bottom-fish, or will you continue to wait for clearer signals? 👇
$CORE#OKXPlanetInstitutional buying has switched tactics again: Strive uses SATA preferred stock to continuously raise funds and buy $BTC for 9 consecutive trading days
While many are still watching whether MicroStrategy sells coins, on the other side Strive (ASST) has turned "corporate BTC hoarding" into a capital market clockwork.
The logic is simple:
• Tool: Nasdaq ticker SATA, variable rate Class A perpetual preferred stock, par value $100, about 13% annualized yield, switching to daily dividends starting June 2026
• Operation: When SATA price returns near $100 par value → start ATM market price issuance → money raised is not held as cash, directly exchanged for BTC
• Rhythm: Estimated SATA fundraising from 8/24–8/28 can buy about 1,192 BTC in a single week; company states "purchasing Bitcoin through preferred stock financing for 9 consecutive days"; holding 21,356 BTC as of 8/21, aiming for 23,156 BTC by end of August, zero long-term debt
Biggest difference from MSTR: no convertible bonds, no BTC collateral, no debt servitude, purely equity instruments snowballing. But the downside is clear—if BTC stagnates or pulls back, the 13% preferred stock dividend still must be paid, and unrealized losses are on them.
If this wave of enterprise-level buying continues, spot selling pressure will be quietly absorbed; but if SATA falls below par value, the issuance window closes immediately, and the story runs out of fuel.Glassnode: Bitcoin's correlation with the S&P is near a two-year low
Glassnode on-chain data shows that the rolling correlation between $BTC and the S&P 500 has fallen to a near two-year low. The previous strong linkage between Bitcoin and U.S. stocks is changing.
During the past two years' rate hike cycle, BTC basically moved in tandem with U.S. stocks, behaving as a high-beta risk asset. When U.S. stocks plunged, crypto markets also experienced synchronized sell-offs. Now, with correlation significantly lower, it indicates a shift in market driving logic. BTC is no longer simply led by U.S. tech stocks and has shown increased linkage with gold, reviving the narrative of digital gold in the market.
Personal view: Decoupling does not mean an immediate one-sided surge; this distinction should be rationally understood.
A decline in correlation only means the two can diverge in price movement: when U.S. stocks fall, BTC does not necessarily crash; when U.S. stocks rise, BTC may not necessarily rally in sync. However, macro core variables such as Federal Reserve interest rates, the U.S. dollar, and U.S. Treasury yields will still simultaneously influence both markets, so they have not completely detached from the broader macro framework.
Practical significance for traders: Going forward, trading decisions should not simply rely on U.S. stock market movements to judge BTC trends. When U.S. stocks surge, do not blindly go long on crypto; when U.S. stocks plunge, do not panic sell crypto outright. More attention should be paid to crypto-specific factors such as internal capital flows, ETF inflows, and on-chain institutional accumulation.
A caution: Correlation is a dynamic indicator. When risk panic hits, the two markets can quickly re-synchronize. Do not mistake temporary decoupling for a permanent state.Reasons for OKX Delisting CORE On-Chain Earning (Staking) Feature
Risk Warning: Virtual currencies are not protected by domestic laws. The following is only an industry information review and does not constitute investment advice.
The exchange has not issued a long qualitative announcement specifically for CORE. Based on industry rules, product mechanisms, and community information, there are four layers of real reasons:
1. Protocol-level risks: CORE staking has a long unlocking period and high technical uncertainty
CORE on-chain staking has an unlocking waiting period; after delegating staking, immediate redemption is not possible. In case of mainnet upgrades, validator failures, or protocol bugs, the exchange cannot quickly retrieve user assets.
On-chain earning means the exchange delegates staking on the public chain on behalf of users. If the network encounters anomalies, the exchange must bear the redemption pressure from users. Core DAO’s early validator reward mechanism had abnormal incidents, amplifying platform risk control concerns.
Note: This does not mean CORE is worthless; the exchange simply no longer provides the staking entry. Users can still withdraw tokens to the official wallet and stake on-chain themselves.
2. Exchange’s overall strategy contraction for on-chain earning products
OKX is not only delisting CORE but also gradually discontinuing on-chain staking products for multiple public chains (Avalanche, OKT, etc.).
Overseas regulations (such as EU MiCA) impose increasingly strict compliance requirements on centralized platforms proxying DeFi staking: platforms must bear compliance responsibility for risks, returns, and lock-up consequences of staking. Many exchanges proactively reduce third-party public chain delegated staking services to lessen compliance burdens.
The on-chain earning protocol itself allows platforms to pause or remove staking products at any time, as stated in the user agreement.
3. Mismatch between returns and operational costs
- CORE staking rewards come from block inflation rewards, which fluctuate greatly; inflation release schedules may change;
- The exchange must maintain nodes, collect rewards, pay on-chain gas fees, and manage user redemption scheduling;
- If the token price continues to bottom out, staking returns become less attractive, the platform bears technical and redemption risks, but the commercial value generated is limited, so the product is prioritized for removal.
4. Clarification of market misconceptions
❌ Misconception 1: Delisting earning = delisting CORE trading
→ Incorrect, only the "on-chain earning/staking financial product" is delisted; spot trading and deposits/withdrawals remain normal.
❌ Misconception 2: The project had a major security breach and ran away
→ No official announcement disclosing major security incidents; the mainnet is operating normally.
❌ Misconception 3: The exchange is bearish on this project
→ Delisting financial products ≠ denying the token narrative; financial products are independent and have separate review logic from token listing.
Practical tips for users
1. For CORE already in on-chain earning: the exchange will execute redemption and return funds to the account; pay attention to platform redemption cycle notifications;
2. For those who still want to participate in CORE staking: withdraw CORE from the exchange to the official Core wallet and delegate stake directly on the Core DAO official website, bearing lock-up and network risks yourself;
3. Distinguish between exchange-custodied staking vs. user self-custodied on-chain staking; the risks are completely different.Are Trump and Waller performing a double act? One wildly hints at a possible rate hike, while the other wildly demands a rate cut!
Trump just publicly said that since the U.S. is number one in the world, it should have the lowest interest rates globally, and discussing rate hikes now is absurd.
But three days ago, Waller spoke very firmly at Jackson Hole: U.S. PCE inflation is still at 3.7%, employment is near full employment, and if inflation does not clearly and quickly return to 2%, the Fed still has work to do.
The market has already started siding with Waller. After the Jackson Hole speech, the probability of a rate hike in September surged from 35.4% to 55.7%, and is now around 60%.
The 2-year U.S. Treasury yield rose nearly 13 basis points that day, while Bitcoin dropped 3.3%. Barclays even changed its forecast from no hikes this year to two 25 basis point hikes in September and December.
The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield is now above 4.7%, and oil prices are again approaching $90.
If the market believes the Fed is being politically pressured to cut rates despite 3.7% inflation, short-term rates can certainly be pushed down, but inflation expectations, term premiums, and dollar credit risk could easily push long-term rates higher.
Mortgage rates, corporate financing, and the actual money the U.S. government has to pay may not necessarily decrease.

#BTC高位震荡，与黄金联动增强 $XAU Gold at 4336, has fallen below 4400.
Dropped from 4465 to 4332, down 260 dollars. RSI6=14.09, even when BTC dropped to 49000 in early August, it wasn't this low. SAR=4436 is pressing down, EMA21=4436 also pressing, EMA55=4490 even further above, all overhead. The structure is indeed weakening, and very weak.
In August, it rose 10%, from 4330 to 4698, then in two days of September it dropped 360 dollars. It's not that the bulls are weak, but macro pressure has arrived—the Fed rate hike expectations are heating up, treasury yields are rising, the dollar is rebounding, and gold as a zero-yield asset is indeed under pressure. Geopolitical conflicts continue, central bank gold purchases continue, but these medium- to long-term logics can't overcome rate hike expectations in the short term. The long-term logic for gold hasn't changed: rate cut expectations, geopolitical conflicts, central bank gold purchases—all still there. But in the short term, the 4400-4500 range has indeed trapped many.
On August 8, RSI hit 14, at which time gold bounced back from 4330 to 4698. The same RSI value, different position—can it bounce back this time? Share your thoughts in the comments, do you think this wave of gold is a pullback to build momentum, or a phase top? 🫡#Employment data densely released, Wash's policy stance under scrutiny
The probability of a rate hike in September surged to 66%, $BTC reached 77,000, the test has just begun.
Woke up to find BTC already dropped to around 77,200. After Wash's speech, the probability of a September rate hike jumped from 35% to over 60%, and Ball added another push, now peaking at 66%. The 2-year US Treasury yield hit a one-month high, the dollar strengthened, and risk assets collectively came under pressure. Barclays even revised its forecast to predict one rate hike each in September and December.
There are still three key data releases this week: JOLTS job openings, ADP employment, and Friday's nonfarm payrolls. The market expects an increase of 50,000 to 80,000 jobs, with an unemployment rate of 4.1%. Wash has already set the market to "data-sensitive mode," where any number could trigger sharp volatility.
September is already called Rektember, one of the worst months historically, and this year it’s compounded by rate hike expectations and geopolitical risks. The next move for BTC depends on whether this week's employment data shows some favor. Cathie Wood bought $37.4 million while Block fell and continues to increase her holdings in $CRCL. This time, Cathie Wood is not betting on a single coin, but on two future financial gateways for crypto. ARK's latest trading disclosure shows that after Block's stock price fell about 1.85% on August 31, ARK's three ETFs together bought 456,059 shares of Block, valued at about $37.4 million. Meanwhile, ARK continued to buy 35,192 shares of Circle, worth about $3.36 million. Notably, Circle actually rose about 9.65% that day. 1. Block Falls, She Buys $37.4 Million in One Go What is truly worth watching is Cathie Wood's choice to significantly increase her position during Block's decline. Behind Block are not only traditional payment services but also Cash App and the Bitcoin ecosystem. So buying Block doesn't mean directly betting on BTC's price, but rather betting on whether Bitcoin can further enter payments, wallets, and financial services. Second, on the other hand, she's still buying Circle Circle represents a completely different crypto path. The core isn't Bitcoin, but USDC and stablecoin infrastructure. This makes ARK's funding move quite interesting: Block → Bitcoin + payment entry CircBTCFi Four Kings Ultimate Review: Steady, Hardcore, Elastic, Ambush — Who Is the True Leader of the Bull Market?
⚠️ This article only outlines the track logic and project architecture and does not constitute any investment advice.
The Bitcoin ecosystem bull market wave continues to advance, with many investors confusing STX, CORE, MERL, and BABY as all BTCFi track targets.
In fact, they are completely different levels, logics, and capital narratives.
The four projects respectively represent the four top BTCFi schools: Native Steady, Full-Chain Infrastructure, Inscription Elasticity, and Underlying Security. Their underlying architecture, asset risk, growth potential, and capital logic differ vastly.
1. Core Positioning of the Four Schools: Clearly Distinguish the Hierarchy
STX | Native Steady School: The Orthodox Bitcoin L2 Benchmark
Stacks is the earliest and most orthodox L2 infrastructure in the Bitcoin ecosystem.
It does not alter Bitcoin’s base layer; relying on PoX consensus + a dedicated programming language, it realizes on-chain smart contracts on Bitcoin and builds a complete BTC-denominated DeFi system based on sBTC.
Advantages: orthodox ecosystem, high institutional recognition, most stable trend.
Drawbacks: not EVM compatible, slower ecosystem expansion, limited explosive potential.
Positioning: BTCFi defensive leader, following a long-term steady compound growth path.
CORE | All-Purpose Infrastructure School: Bitcoin’s Only Independent L1 Public Chain
The biggest market misconception: treating CORE as a Bitcoin Layer 2.
CORE is an independent Layer 1 public chain, not L2!
It relies on exclusive Satoshi Plus hybrid consensus, leveraging Bitcoin’s entire network hash power as a security base, fully EVM compatible, truly a "Bitcoin Supergrid."
Coverage: BTC staking, institutional lstBTC liquid staking, SatPay payments, lending, RWA real-world assets; the only BTCFi leader with a complete commercial revenue system.
Entering cash flow profitability era in 2026, with real business, real institutional demand, and real buyback expectations.
Positioning: BTCFi aggressive infrastructure leader, largest growth potential, most hardcore narrative.
MERL | Inscription Elasticity School: Dedicated Channel for Bitcoin Native Assets
Merlin Chain focuses on ZK Layer 2 + inscription ecosystem, precisely solving BRC20, Ordinals asset congestion, and high Gas fees.
All ecosystem activity, popularity, and capital are tied to the Bitcoin inscription cycle.
Advantages: extremely strong bull market elasticity, highest gains during hot trends.
Drawbacks: market highly dependent on sector sentiment, no independent narrative, strong cyclical nature.
Positioning: BTCFi cyclical speculative target, riding waves and trends.
BABY | Underlying Security School: Bitcoin Security Leasing Dark Horse
Unique and completely differentiated track.
Does not do DeFi, trading, or applications; only one thing:
Zero-risk staking of Bitcoin native assets and full-network PoS public chain security leasing.
User BTC remains in native addresses throughout, no custody, no cross-chain, no wrapping; the highest security model in the BTCFi network.
Earns continuous income by "renting out Bitcoin’s top-level security," belonging to the most fundamental and essential public chain infrastructure narrative.
Positioning: ultra-long-term ambush-type underlying dark horse, highest odds.
2. Asset Security Hierarchy (The Most Important Watershed in BTCFi)
✅ BABY | Ceiling-Level Security
BTC remains in native UTXO addresses throughout, pure cryptographic staking, zero custody, zero wrapping, zero bridge risk, absolutely secure assets.
✅ CORE | Non-Custodial Hardcore Security
BTC locked with Bitcoin mainnet timelocks, principal never leaves BTC chain, no institutional custody risk, only data relay synchronization, extremely low risk.
⚠️ STX | Consortium Multi-Signature Mode
Asset security depends on node consortium; although there is a penalty mechanism, theoretical risk of consortium misconduct exists.
⚠️ MERL | MPC Custody Mode
Assets require custody mapping; native BTC leaves mainnet, exposing institutional counterparty risk.
3. Value Capture Logic: Determines Bull Market Multiples
STX
Pure ecological consumption + BTC-denominated staking yield, slowly raising value through ecosystem expansion, steady but slow.
CORE
Dual staking lockup + 2026 cash flow realization
lstBTC institutional service fees, cross-border payments, on-chain fees, future revenue buybacks
— the only BTCFi leader transitioning from "storytelling" to "real money earning."
MERL
Inscription ecosystem fees + 50% profit buybacks, market fully follows sector bull and bear cycles, high elasticity, weak sustainability.
BABY
Continuous income from full-network public chain security leasing fees, unique track, long-term value severely underestimated.
4. Ultimate Summary: Four Targets Suit Different Investors
✅ Seeking stability, holding long-term, avoiding volatility: choose STX
Bitcoin native orthodox, heavy institutional holdings, most stable trend.
✅ Riding the bull market main rise, earning growth dividends, focusing on fundamentals: choose CORE
BTCFi’s only L1 infrastructure + only cash flow track, core mainline of this bull market.
✅ Speculating on hot trends, capturing waves, playing cyclical markets: choose MERL
When inscription trends arrive, elasticity crushes the field.
✅ Low-position ambush, betting on underlying narrative breakout, super high odds: choose BABY
The safest BTC staking model in the network, underlying infrastructure dark horse.
The true money-making logic in the bull market:
Not randomly buying BTCFi, but selecting the mainline that fits your style.
#STX #CORE #MERL #BABY #BTCFiThe recent discussion heat around Bitcoin ecosystem finance (BTCFi) remains high, but combining on-chain data and regulatory rhythms, the industry is more likely in a recovery phase rather than on the eve of an explosion. Data shows that in Q1 2026, the total locked value in this sector shrank by about 74% compared to the peak in 2025. Babylon has stabilized above $4 billion, Stacks and Core have started generating real revenue, and the market is shifting from subsidy-driven false prosperity to a fundamental verification stage. From a time perspective, the real scale leap may have to wait until after the second half of 2027. By then, if native programmability upgrades like OP_CAT are implemented, combined with the halving cycle resonance, BTCFi penetration is expected to rise from the current approximately 1% to 2.3%, corresponding to a total locked value in the range of $20 to $30 billion. Large-scale institutional capital entry is more likely to appear in the mid to late stages of the next bull market in 2028 to 2029, provided that at least two conditions are met: continuous multiple quarters of auditable revenue, approval of yield-type ETFs, and standardized products from major custodians. It is worth noting that a "pseudo-explosion" occurred between 2024 and 2025, with a surge to $9.1 billion followed by a halving. The market's ability to distinguish between subsidy-based TVL and real fee revenue has significantly improved. At the token level, the performance of assets like STX and CORE usually lags protocol data by more than one quarter and is constrained by unlocking models. The overall upward trend of the sector does not mean individual tokens strengthen synchronously. For medium to long-term investors, using 2027 as an observation window and 2028 to 2029 as the realization period📊 $BTC Contract Liquidation Express (September 1)
Shorts probed control in 1 hour, bulls reversed with 4x dominance in 4 hours, bulls exploded with 9.7x nuclear-level dominance at 12 hours hitting today's peak, and then collapsed avalanche-style to 6.4x at 24 hours — short squeeze momentum gradually declined from the nuclear peak, but bulls still firmly control the market.
Time Total Liquidation Long Liquidation Short Liquidation
1 hour $51,800 $16,000 $35,800
4 hours $20,091,900 $16,129,500 $3,962,400
12 hours $78,402,300 $71,076,000 $7,326,300
24 hours $99,660,900 $86,217,300 $13,443,700
From BTC liquidation data, shorts held a slight 2.2x advantage in 1 hour with only $51,800, indicating a tentative start; direction reversed in 4 hours — bulls violently overtook with 4.07x, volume surged to $20.09 million, triggering a full short squeeze; 12-hour bull dominance soared to 9.7x, volume exploded to $78.4 million, reaching a nuclear peak of short squeeze; 24-hour bull dominance sharply dropped to 6.4x close, with bull liquidations at $86.22 million versus shorts at $13.44 million, total liquidation exceeding $99.66 million. Bull multiples followed an inverted V pattern from 4.07x → 9.7x → 6.4x, showing short squeeze momentum peaked at 12 hours then steadily declined. 12-hour liquidations accounted for 78.7% of the 24-hour total, indicating a moderately high concentration. Leverage is recommended to be compressed below 3x; direction is clear but momentum is retreating from the peak, avoid blindly chasing longs.
🔥 Market Barometer | September 1
Today's three hot topics point to the same theme: Wash's hawkish tone is about to face the ultimate test from employment data; Bitcoin and gold deeply correlate under "fiat credit revaluation"; and Broadcom and Dell's earnings will successively verify the sustainability of AI hardware returns.
📊 Nonfarm Friday Debut: Can Wash's "Hawk" Withstand the "Blade" of Data?
At 20:30 Beijing time on September 4, the US August nonfarm payroll report will be released. Reuters surveys expect an increase of 58,000 jobs, unemployment steady at 4.1%; ING economists forecast about 65,000 new jobs. July nonfarm unexpectedly shrank by 23,000, with May and June revised down by a total of 103,000.
Last week, Fed Chair Wash delivered his first keynote speech since taking office at Jackson Hole, clearly stating that if inflation does not "clearly and quickly" return to the 2% target, the Fed "still has work to do." CME data shows the probability of a September rate hike surged from about 35% before the speech to 66.1%. Citi economists believe there was no consensus for a July FOMC hike; cooling inflation and slowing hiring suggest rate hikes are unlikely this year. If data weakens again this week, the 66% hike expectation could quickly collapse.
₿ BTC High-Level Volatility: Gold Correlation Hits Historic High, $7 Billion Flows into ETFs
Bitcoin rose 28% in August, briefly surpassing $81,000, but fell under pressure after Wash's hawkish speech, currently oscillating between $77,000-$78,000.
The 90-day correlation coefficient between Bitcoin and gold hit a historic high, with the 30-day indicator reaching a yearly peak of 0.8. This shift is driven by "fiat credit revaluation" — US debt surpassing $40 trillion, investors no longer choosing between gold and Bitcoin but buying both "non-government credit assets" simultaneously. In the past five trading days, gold and Bitcoin ETFs attracted a record $7 billion inflow. SPDR Gold ETF drew nearly $3.4 billion, BlackRock Bitcoin ETF $1.5 billion. Bitcoin is completing its role shift from "tech asset" to "digital gold."
🖥️ Broadcom and Dell Take Over: AI Hardware Returns Under Further Scrutiny
Following Nvidia's explosive $96.2 billion revenue report, the AI hardware sector faces a new round of tests this week.
Dell led with an earnings beat after market close on September 1: Q2 revenue $46.97 billion, well above the expected $44.92 billion; AI-optimized server revenue $16.4 billion, also exceeding expectations; company sharply raised full-year AI server sales forecast to $74 billion. Shares rose 5% after hours.
Broadcom will release Q3 earnings after market close on September 2. Analysts expect revenue of $29.43 billion, up 84.5% year-over-year; EPS $2.55, up 199.5%. Key market variables include whether the $16 billion AI semiconductor target can be met and if Google's custom chip orders will be diverted due to Marvell's involvement.
💎 Summary
Three events paint the same picture: This Friday's nonfarm will test Wash's "still has work to do" hawkish stance — if employment weakens again, the 66% rate hike expectation may quickly collapse; Bitcoin and gold deeply correlate under "fiat credit revaluation," with a record $7 billion ETF inflow and historic correlation highs; Dell has proven AI server demand is still booming with an earnings beat, and Broadcom will be tested tonight.
As employment data, macro narratives, and AI earnings converge this week — the market awaits the final answer on September 4. As the market barometer, BTC liquidation data already gives a clear signal: the nearly 10x short squeeze dominance in the 12-hour window is today's most extreme expression of bull power; but the 24-hour multiple has fallen to 6.4x, indicating the momentum for chasing longs is rapidly fading. The big direction still depends on the nonfarm outcome. #就业数据密集公布，沃什政策立场受检验

#财报观察员：博通与戴尔接棒，AI回报再受检验 ✍️ $BTC $80K and the new market structure
Bitcoin surpassing $80,000 is sparking much debate about the quality of the rally. Spot CVD remains relatively stable while the rising price may reflect a larger role of derivatives and leverage. Nevertheless, ETF inflows and short position liquidations continue to be important supporting drivers. What needs to be monitored now is confirmation from spot demand. Price increases are positive, but do not yet fully confirm an established uptrend.After the latest CPI data was released, the crypto market remains on edge. Inflation strength directly influences policy expectations, which is the fundamental reason for the recent market fluctuations. $BTC strongly rebounded from the low of 57809, surged to 82842 before hitting resistance, and is now contesting around 79000. The price has risen above the 20-day moving average, giving short-term bulls a slight advantage, but heavy overhead supply makes breaking the previous high dependent on macroeconomic support. $ETH follows the overall market trend with better elasticity than BTC, showing good momentum during rebounds but has yet to establish an independent trend. SOL remains popular with frequent positive news, and capital rotation speculation causes high volatility. Established mainstream coins like XRP and $ADA show moderate movements, usually performing only during major market events. MEME coins such as $DOGE and $SHIB continue to be driven by sentiment, with large swings being common and risks very high. TRX is relatively stable with decent capital support. Overall, the current market is structurally driven by macro factors, with CPI as the biggest variable. Before the trend becomes clear, mainstream coins may oscillate while small caps take turns being active. Avoid blindly chasing hot spots and be cautious of profit-taking after news releases. Risk warning: Crypto assets are highly volatile; please manage your positions rationally and practice sound risk management.BTCFi Four Kings Ultimate Review: Steady, Hardcore, Elastic, Ambush — Who Is the True Leader of the Bull Market?

Unique and completely differentiated track.
Does not do DeFi, trading, or applications; only one thing:
Zero-risk staking of Bitcoin native assets and full-network PoS public chain security leasing.
User BTC remains in native addresses throughout, no custody, no cross-chain, no wrapping; the highest security model in the BTCFi network.
Earns continuous income by "renting out Bitcoin’s top-level security," belonging to the most fundamental and essential public chain infrastructure narrative.
Positioning: ultra-long-term ambush-type underlying dark horse, highest odds.
2. Asset Security Hierarchy (The Most Important Watershed in BTCFi)
✅ BABY | Ceiling-Level Security
BTC remains in native UTXO addresses throughout, pure cryptographic staking, zero custody, zero wrapping, zero bridge risk, absolutely secure assets.
✅ CORE | Non-Custodial Hardcore Security
BTC locked with Bitcoin mainnet timelocks, principal never leaves BTC chain, no institutional custody risk, only data relay synchronization, extremely low risk.
⚠️ STX | Consortium Multi-Signature Mode
Asset security depends on node consortium; although there is a penalty mechanism, theoretical risk of consortium misconduct exists.
⚠️ MERL | MPC Custody Mode
Assets require custody mapping; native BTC leaves mainnet, exposing institutional counterparty risk.
3. Value Capture Logic: Determines Bull Market Multiples
STX
Pure ecological consumption + BTC-denominated staking yield, slowly raising value through ecosystem expansion, steady but slow.
CORE
Dual staking lockup + 2026 cash flow realization
lstBTC institutional service fees, cross-border payments, on-chain fees, future revenue buybacks
— the only BTCFi leader transitioning from "storytelling" to "real money earning."
MERL
Inscription ecosystem fees + 50% profit buybacks, market fully follows sector bull and bear cycles, high elasticity, weak sustainability.
BABY
Continuous income from full-network public chain security leasing fees, unique track, long-term value severely underestimated.
4. Ultimate Summary: Four Targets Suit Different Investors
✅ Seeking stability, holding long-term, avoiding volatility: choose STX
Bitcoin native orthodox, heavy institutional holdings, most stable trend.
✅ Riding the bull market main rise, earning growth dividends, focusing on fundamentals: choose CORE
BTCFi’s only L1 infrastructure + only cash flow track, core mainline of this bull market.
✅ Speculating on hot trends, capturing waves, playing cyclical markets: choose MERL
When inscription trends arrive, elasticity crushes the field.
✅ Low-position ambush, betting on underlying narrative breakout, super high odds: choose BABY
The safest BTC staking model in the network, underlying infrastructure dark horse.
The true money-making logic in the bull market:
Not randomly buying BTCFi, but selecting the mainline that fits your style.
#STX #CORE #MERL #BABY #BTCFiWhy does Bitcoin rise every 4 years?
⚠️ Market review only, not investment advice; the crypto market is highly volatile.
This can be divided into six major layers: supply side, demand side, macro liquidity, regulatory expectations, chip and leverage, narrative and belief.
1. Supply side: Scarcity, four-year halving (fundamental basis)
Total permanent cap of 21 million coins, no additional issuance.
Halving occurs every 4 years, cutting miners' daily new Bitcoin production in half, reducing new selling pressure in the market.
- Historical pattern: The market often trades ahead of halving expectations; major peaks mostly appear 12-18 months after halving.
- Current status: 94% of Bitcoin has been mined, with fewer new coins entering circulation; a large amount of coins remain unmoved long-term (whales hoarding, cold wallets), reducing liquid chips on exchanges, so a small amount of capital can push prices up.
2. Demand side: Real buying pressure, institutions are the biggest variable this cycle
1. US spot ETFs
BlackRock and other ETFs provide pension funds, family offices, and ordinary Americans a compliant channel to buy BTC; continuous net inflows into ETFs represent ongoing passive buying and are the most important indicator of the mid-term trend.
2. Public companies hoarding coins (e.g., MicroStrategy)
Companies convert part of their cash into Bitcoin on their balance sheets, continuously buying and directly absorbing circulating market chips.
3. Global retail and high-net-worth allocations
Treat Bitcoin as "digital gold" to hedge fiat overissuance and geopolitical risks.
3. Macro liquidity (largest impact, primary short-term driver)
Bitcoin is a highly elastic risk asset, highly sensitive to US dollar liquidity.
1. Fed rate cut expectations, US Treasury yields declining
Lower risk-free interest rates cause funds to flow out of bonds into stocks, Bitcoin, and other risk assets; when Treasury yields surge, Bitcoin usually comes under pressure.
2. Weakening US dollar makes Bitcoin priced in dollars more likely to rise.
Simply put: In a loose liquidity environment, Bitcoin is more likely to bull; when liquidity tightens, even strong narratives are easily suppressed.
4. Regulatory policy expectations
- Positive: Clear crypto legislation in the US, softer SEC stance, ETF approvals, more countries allowing compliant holdings will open space for incremental capital inflows.
- Negative: Comprehensive bans and strict regulations directly suppress the market.
A large part of the bull market is trading on "expectations of improved regulation."
5. Chip structure + leverage short squeeze (short-term surge catalyst)
1. Long-term on-chain holders do not move: large amounts of BTC locked in cold wallets, not sold, shrinking circulating supply.
2. Derivatives leverage: When price breaks key resistance, a large number of accumulated short positions are forcibly liquidated; shorts buying coins to close positions become passive buying pressure, further driving prices up—this is a short squeeze. Many rapid large green candles come from leverage liquidations, not all from spot buying.
6. Narrative belief: value consensus
Two core narratives:
1. Inflation resistance, hedge against fiat depreciation: governments can print money, but Bitcoin’s total supply cannot be changed.
2. Decentralized digital value storage, not controlled by any single country.
The narrative itself does not directly drive price up but attracts capital willing to allocate, turning the story into real money.
Conversely, what can interrupt the rise?
1. Fed rate hikes again, liquidity tightening; US Treasury yields continue rising.
2. ETFs shift from net inflows to sustained large redemptions, institutional capital withdraws.
3. Global economic crisis, all risk assets crash together.
4. Major negative regulatory news.
5. Excessive leverage accumulation followed by concentrated long liquidations causing a crash.
In summary
Halving tightens supply as the foundation; macro liquidity determines the overall environment; ETFs and institutional funds provide incremental buying; regulation opens institutional space; leverage and sentiment amplify price swings.
Looking at a single factor alone leads to misjudgment; multiple factors must resonate together to produce a major bull market.🔥$BTC Morning Watch｜Battle for 77,000, 80,000 as the Rebound Watershed
🔥This morning, Bitcoin perpetual contracts are quoted around $77,100, with a 24h range of approximately $76,400–$79,200; some platforms briefly dipped below 77,000 during intraday trading. Ethereum is also weak, falling below around $2,400.
Market Highlights:
Support: 77,000 is a short-term psychological level; below that, look to 76,000 and 75,000; if 75,000 breaks, technical traders will eye the 72,000 area.
Resistance: 79,000–80,000 is the first hurdle; 82,000–83,000 is near the weighted cost zone of some spot ETFs, and only a breakout there can lead to a renewed rally.
Capital Flow: In August, the US spot BTC ETF net inflow was about $3.5 billion, with BTC rising about 25% for the month; however, after the hawkish tone at Jackson Hole on August 28, there was a single-day outflow of about $200 million, followed by a net inflow of about $217 million on August 31, indicating a divergence phase of "inflows without price follow-through."
Catalysts: Middle East/Hormuz Strait news pushed Brent crude above $90, the Fed's September rate hike expectations are priced above 60%, and the upcoming big variables are the September 5 Nonfarm Payrolls/September ADP employment report and the September 16 FOMC meeting.
Summary: August was a recovery bull driven by ETFs and short covering; September started with a pullback due to "geopolitics + rate hikes + seasonal weakness." Holding 77,000 means strong consolidation; breaking 75,000 means don't stubbornly catch the falling knife.
$BTC Core DAO Project Major Event Decryption
⚠️Note: The content is only a compilation of publicly available information and does not constitute any investment advice.
Many people have a major misconception: that Core's official cross-chain bridge supporting multiple EVM chains for asset transfers means a large number of projects are fully migrating to Core. The truth is quite the opposite; almost no projects have completely shut down their original chain operations, with the vast majority only choosing to expand multi-chain layouts.
Core's official bridge connects Ethereum, BNB Chain, Arbitrum, Polygon, Avalanche, Optimism, and Base—seven EVM chains—with significant differences in project entry enthusiasm across these chains.
BNB Chain is the public chain with the most projects laying out on Core. Since the second half of 2023, projects like LFGSwap, numerous Meme projects, yield aggregators, ASX Capital, and others have successively deployed on Core. The BSC track is highly competitive with new projects continuously diluting traffic, while Core focuses on the scarce BTCFi narrative, with extremely low EVM-compatible development costs, combined with official Ignition ecosystem incentives. Projects can simultaneously capture BSC's existing users and BTC holders, opening a new growth curve. Ethereum mainly expands through blue-chip protocols multi-chain, with representative project Solv Protocol launching SolvBTC.CORE in October 2024. The Ethereum LST track is fiercely competitive; Core has a native Bitcoin staking system that can form a complete staking and lending business loop, helping Solv reach BTC holders that the Ethereum ecosystem struggles to cover. Infrastructure like oracle Pyth and LayerZero have also been deployed to improve the underlying ecosystem.
Arbitrum has many re-staking and derivatives protocols planning new layouts from late 2024 to 2025. The Arbitrum track focuses on ETH re-staking, with weak BTCFi layout. Core's unique BTC+CORE dual staking mechanism can create differentiated yield products; meanwhile, on-chain fees are lower, making it more suitable for retail DeFi users. Polygon, Avalanche, Optimism, and Base have very few mature projects actively laying out, with only sporadic small new projects launching simultaneously. These public chains have their own ecosystem support policies, native assets mainly ETH-based, lacking BTC existing funds, and projects have little motivation to expand outward.
The core logic behind projects willing to lay out on Core is clear: most EVM public chains compete around the Ethereum ecosystem, while Core is a scarce BTCFi underlying track with a differentiated narrative; smart contract changes are minimal and development costs controllable; it can also absorb incremental funds brought by BTC hashrate narrative.
It is essential to clarify a key concept here: asset cross-chain channels only facilitate token transfers for users and do not equal ecosystem migration. Core's current leading applications Colend and Pell Network are native development projects, not migrated from external public chains.
Track dividends ultimately rely on continuous implementation and realization. Ongoing observation of project activity and real on-chain fee income will determine whether ecosystem expansion can convert into long-term value.
#CORE #BTCFi #PublicChainEcosystem Everyone is doing BTCFi, but STX, CORE, MERL, and BABY are fundamentally different asset types
⚠️ This article is only for outlining track logic and technical architecture, and does not constitute any investment advice
The Bitcoin ecosystem is booming, but many friends tend to confuse STX, CORE, MERL, and BABY. In fact, although these four targets all carry the "BTCFi" label, their underlying positioning, security models, and business logic are completely different. Some are building elevated bridges, some are creating new continents, and others are doing "security business." Today, we will thoroughly clarify these four tracks in 1000 words.
1. Core Positioning: Four Completely Different Species
STX (Stacks): The "veteran" of Bitcoin native L2
Stacks is one of the earliest explorers of Bitcoin Layer 2. It uses a unique PoX consensus and Clarity language, aiming to implement smart contracts without modifying the Bitcoin mainnet.
Core logic: Connect assets through sBTC, allowing users to play DeFi on top of Bitcoin. After the Nakamoto upgrade, it achieved second-level confirmation, but its non-EVM characteristic means it is a relatively closed yet highly native track.
CORE (Core DAO): The "independent L1" with its own power grid
CORE is not a layer two but an independent Layer 1 public chain. It pioneered the Satoshi Plus hybrid consensus, "borrowing" idle computing power from Bitcoin miners to secure its own chain.
Core logic: Build an EVM-compatible "Bitcoin power grid." It serves not only retail users but also focuses on institutional lstBTC (liquid staking Bitcoin) business, aiming to become the underlying infrastructure for RWA and payments.
MERL (Merlin Chain): The "ZK express lane" for inscription players
MERL is an authentic Bitcoin ZK-Rollup Layer 2 network. It was created to solve congestion and high gas fees for BRC20 and inscription assets on the BTC mainnet.
Core logic: EVM compatible, specifically serving liquidity release for BTC native assets (Ordinals/Runes). Its success heavily depends on the activity of the inscription market.
BABY (Babylon): The "wholesaler" of Bitcoin security
BABY’s concept is the most unique. It is not a chain for running applications but a Bitcoin staking protocol.
Core logic: Allows users to stake BTC directly on the Bitcoin mainnet and "rent out" the security of these BTC to other PoS public chains (such as the Cosmos ecosystem). It is currently the only solution to achieve BTC non-custodial staking.
2. Security Watershed: Who is truly guarding your BTC?
This is the most hardcore metric to distinguish these four projects.
BABY (top tier): BTC always remains in the Bitcoin mainnet’s UTXO, no cross-chain bridges, no wrapped assets (no wrapping), pure cryptographic staking. This is currently the safest trust model in the industry.
CORE (non-custodial): User BTC is locked in Bitcoin mainnet’s CLTV time lock, private keys are not handed over to anyone. The main risk lies in the state synchronization mechanism of relay nodes (Relayers).
STX (consortium-based): Connects assets through sBTC, relying on a decentralized signer alliance. Although there are economic incentives and penalties, there is still a theoretical risk of alliance collusion.
MERL (custodial): User BTC enters MPC multi-signature custodial addresses, mapping out stMBTC. Assets leave the mainnet, trusting the honesty of the MPC custodian, with counterparty risk.
3. Token Value Capture: Who is paying for the tokens?
STX: Burn model. Users consume STX when using the sBTC ecosystem; staking STX can earn BTC rewards (BTC-denominated yield).
CORE: Dual staking necessity. To obtain advanced yields, you must stake CORE; the official plan is to use revenue from institutional businesses like SatPay and lstBTC to buy back tokens.
MERL: Profit buyback. The official commitment is to use 50% of ecosystem profits for MERL buybacks. On-chain gas primarily consumes BTC; MERL is mainly used for node staking and governance.
BABY: Security rent. PoS public chains pay Babylon fees to obtain Bitcoin-level security. Meanwhile, BABY is also the network’s gas and governance token.
5. Summary
STX is the "conservative reformer" on Bitcoin, pursuing nativeness and stability.
CORE is the "radical infrastructure fanatic" in the Bitcoin world, pursuing scale and institutionalization.
MERL is the "traffic operator" of Bitcoin assets, pursuing speed and inscription popularity.
BABY is the "behind-the-scenes arms dealer" of Bitcoin security, pursuing ultimate cryptographic trust.
In this cycle, understanding which layer the asset is on (L1/L2/middleware) and who holds custody (non-custodial/custodial/consortium) is far more meaningful than just watching the K-line.
#STX #CORE #MERL #BABY #BTCFi Bitcoin is weaker than Ethereum this time, with a potential sell order of $174 million pressing on-chain.
This morning $BTC is around 77,100, down 2.1% in 24 hours, with a low of 76,420. $ETH is about 2,410, down 2.5%, with a low of 2,383. One address has accumulated 167,855 ETH in two days, of which 70,739 ETH were transferred to multiple exchanges. Transferring in does not mean it has been sold yet, but the potential supply pressure on ETH is heavier.
The US stock market just closed, the Nasdaq dropped 1.03%, with the number of declining stocks about 2.8 times that of advancing stocks. The manufacturing PMI fell to 54.6, and input prices remain at 71.1. Growth is slowing → prices are not falling → interest rates are hard to ease, risk capital is starting to pull back. In the last full trading day, BTC and ETH spot ETFs still had net inflows of $216.7 million and $87.6 million respectively; buying is still there but cannot absorb the current selling pressure.
The strategy is bearish. BTC closed below 76,920 on the 15-minute chart; if it rebounds to 77,050 but fails to hold, short positions are possible. Reduce at 76,420 first, main target 75,800, invalid if it recovers above 77,320. ETH closed below 2,400; if it rebounds to 2,410 but fails to hold, short positions are possible. Reduce at 2,383 first, main targets 2,350 and 2,315, invalid if it recovers above 2,423.
Note: Whale transfers to exchanges do not mean sales are completed; ETF data for September 1 is not yet complete.
For market analysis only, not investment advice. ✏️ Spot demand warning
Bitcoin price rose over the weekend, but Spot CVD data has not yet shown corresponding spot buying pressure. This is a signal worth monitoring, as the uptrend may be more supported by derivatives and leverage. If these positions are closed, volatility could increase. However, it is not yet time to conclude a weakening trend when $BTC is still supported by ETF inflows and short liquidation activity. Investors should prioritize risk management and avoid FOMO.CORE Institutional Edition Launches, Discussing Bitcoin's Long-Term Value and Short-Term Limitations
⚠️This article is for industry information exchange only and does not constitute investment advice
Recently, CORE launched an institutional solution targeting professional capital, focusing on compliant BTC staking and lstBTC liquidity services, specifically connecting with custodial institutions, asset management companies, and family offices. This objectively breaks down the long-term value and short-term expectations of this news.
Long-Term Positive Logic
1. Directly addresses core institutional pain points: Many institutions hold BTC long-term in cold wallets, lacking compliant channels to generate yield. CORE collaborates with leading custodians like BitGo and Hex Trust, allowing assets to remain within the custody system without transfer, using time-locked staking to generate BTC yield without cross-chain wrapping into WBTC. This mature yield solution is expected to increase traditional capital's willingness to allocate to Bitcoin.
2. Enhances the BTCFi narrative system. Bitcoin has long been viewed primarily as a digital store of value with limited financial application scenarios. After institutional tools are implemented, BTC can participate in staking, lending, and liquidity certificate issuance, further broadening Bitcoin's acceptance in traditional finance.
3. Optimizes chip structure. Institutional holders no longer rely solely on buying low and selling high for profit; stable staking yields will encourage long-term funds to reduce short-term selling, potentially easing spot selling pressure in the mid to long term.
Short-Term Constraints to View Rationally
1. Institutional business implementation involves a lengthy cycle. Risk control reviews, system integration, and fund strategy adjustments often take months; large capital inflows will not occur immediately upon product launch, so positive effects have a clear time lag.
2. The core drivers of Bitcoin's market remain USD liquidity, Federal Reserve policy, ETF funds, and overseas regulatory policies. BTCFi is a derivative narrative that can boost the market but is unlikely to independently drive price strength against macro trends.
3. Competition in the sector continues; many BTC layer-2 and staking solutions exist, and institutional funds will diversify, making it difficult to concentrate all capital in a single ecosystem.
Impact on the $CORE Ecosystem
Relying on the ecosystem's dual staking mechanism, BTC holders seeking higher yields need to stake together with CORE, which is expected to continuously stimulate token demand long term.
Key signals to monitor going forward: official cooperation announcements from leading asset management and custody institutions; steady growth in on-chain native staked BTC. Without real on-chain growth, market gains are likely just short-term sentiment pulses.
Trading Thoughts
Without a clear easing inflection in macro liquidity, it is unwise to rely on a single ecosystem's positive news to bet on a unilateral surge.
Over a longer cycle, the continuously improving institutional BTCFi infrastructure is an important foundational buildup for the next bull market, representing a gradual and progressive long-term logic. CORE's market performance is closely tied to BTCFi sector heat; continue to watch official cooperation announcements and on-chain data changes.
$BTC $CORE #CORE #Bitcoin #BTCFi$BTC fell below 77,000 and a$ETH also failed to hold the strong resistance level at 2,400. Will these two major mainstream coins drag down the crypto market?
1. Direct trigger: Escalation of US-Iran conflict sparks risk-off sell-off
On September 2, the US military airstruck Iranian targets near the Strait of Hormuz, followed by Iran firing missiles and drones at US positions in retaliation. Trump described the operation as "large and powerful" and warned of possible higher-level strikes.
As a result, Bitcoin plunged sharply from its Sunday peak, falling below $77,000; Ethereum simultaneously lost the $2,400 level. In the past hour, about $115 million in leveraged long positions in the crypto market were forcibly liquidated. Brent crude surged above $94, further fueling inflation concerns.
2. Deep macro pressure: Fed rate hike expectations surge
The more fundamental pressure comes from monetary policy. The Fed Chair hinted at the Jackson Hole meeting that if inflation does not fall back to the 2% target, further rate hikes cannot be ruled out. CME data shows the probability of a 25 basis point hike in September has risen to 66.4%. The high interest rate environment continues to suppress non-interest-bearing crypto assets.
3. How big is the crash risk? Key points to watch:
1. Leverage liquidation risk
The Bitcoin derivatives market is sending danger signals—open interest is declining but funding rates are rising, a divergence that historically often signals forced liquidation of leveraged longs. Once the price breaks key support levels, it may trigger a chain reaction.
2. Market structure fragility
This rally mainly relies on existing funds plus leverage, rather than new capital inflows. Stablecoin market cap shows almost no growth, while large holders are accumulating and small to medium investors are exiting—this divergence is not characteristic of a healthy bull market.
3. Seasonal factors
September is historically Bitcoin’s weakest month, known as "Rektember." Seasonal selling pressure combined with macro headwinds may amplify downside risk.
Technically, Bitcoin’s short-term support is in the $76,000–$77,000 range; if broken, it could test $70,000–$72,000.
Summary: The current decline is a resonance of geopolitical shocks, rate hike expectations, and deleveraging pressures, with market risks indeed rising. Whether a "crash" occurs depends on whether the $76,000 support holds, as well as the Fed’s policy direction and the evolution of the US-Iran situation. It is recommended to closely monitor these three variables.
#就业数据密集公布，沃什政策立场受检验
#BTC高位震荡，与黄金联动增强 BTC breaks below 77,000, ETH falls under 2,400—will this drag down the entire crypto market?
Combining your 15-minute K-line screenshot, macro environment, and capital chain for a complete analysis:
Short-term altcoins have already weakened, but this does not equal a full-scale crash; distinguish between a "pulse-style collective catch-up drop" and a "major full-scale crash"—the conditions for these two are completely different.
1. What has already happened: mainstream coins break key levels, altcoins passively follow the decline
After $BTC broke below 77,000 and $ETH effectively lost 2,400, the domino effect is already reflected in the market:
1. Layered declines by coin
• BTC: supported by ETF spot base, pullback is relatively controllable;
• ETH: high beta, decline greater than BTC;
• Small and mid-cap altcoins: hit hardest, thin liquidity, generally much larger declines than the two major mainstream coins, most coins follow the drop, a few with independent narratives barely resist the fall.
2. Two sources of the decline
① Contract leverage liquidation: breaking key supports, long positions stop-loss triggering chain liquidations, amplifying intraday declines;
② Quantitative and hedge funds actively reducing positions, responding to Fed rate hike expectations rising and Middle East oil prices pushing inflation, a macro risk.
2. Macro root cause review
This round of decline did not see a black swan event within the crypto market itself; the root cause is external macro factors: hawkish Fed expectations rising; Middle East conflict pushing oil prices up, market worries about stubborn inflation, further raising rate hike probabilities, leading to collective repricing of risk assets.
Summary
1. BTC and ETH losing key supports have already brought the entire crypto market into a weak environment, altcoins generally under pressure catching up with declines, poor profit-making effect.
2. However, conditions for a "full-scale crash" have not yet been met; institutional spot base remains, long-term funds have not collectively fled. This is currently a medium-level risk release window under macro pressure.
3. The biggest decisive variable for the future market is the US nonfarm payroll data: its strength or weakness will determine September rate hike expectations and whether this breakdown is a deep shakeout or the start of a major correction.

#BTC高位震荡，与黄金联动增强 $BTC 1M CHART IS STARTING TO LOOK INTERESTING 👀
Bears had months to take control, but all they managed was a sweep of the February low during June–July.
Then August flipped the script.
$BTC closed the monthly candle back above both the EMA9 and EMA21 — a strong sign that buyers are regaining control of the higher timeframe.
The next move could be very important. 📈
#BessentJapanFXTalks #OKXOutcomesRelay Solana's narrative is undergoing a silent pivot, which is more noteworthy than short-term price fluctuations. In the first half of this year, its network revenue dropped 87% year-over-year, but the internal structure has clearly differentiated: the share of Meme coins in spot trading volume narrowed from 40% to 16%, while stablecoins increased their share from 6% to 19%. More strikingly, Solana currently accounts for about 97% of on-chain tokenized stock spot DEX trading volume, with related transaction volume reaching $4.9 billion in the first half of the year, and stablecoin settlement volume surpassing $1.9 trillion. Meanwhile, the SOL balance on exchanges has decreased by about 4.9% over the past week, and the US SOL ETF has seen net inflows for seven consecutive weeks, with over $150 million added last week. These data points collectively indicate one direction: Solana is gradually shifting from a public chain heavily reliant on Meme speculation to an infrastructure layer focused on stablecoins, stocks, and RWA. If this trend continues, its valuation logic may need to be reconsidered rather than revolving solely around the next Meme rally. The market is always changing, and everything now still requires time to be validated. Risk warning: Cryptocurrency prices are highly volatile; this article does not constitute investment advice, please make decisions cautiously. $SOL#Employment data released intensively, Wash's policy stance under scrutiny
The gains from this round of crypto concept stocks in August have already been secured, but the trend may be far from over.
The related stock index rose by 8.81% that month. Although it seems like a sector rotation rebound, in fact, two deep forces are resonating simultaneously—macroeconomic liquidity expectations turning toward easing, combined with a narrowing regulatory uncertainty discount.
On one hand, the U.S. Treasury continues to repurchase long-term government bonds, effectively easing market anxiety over the yield curve and tightening liquidity. As the marginal allocation value of risk-free assets diminishes, hot money naturally migrates toward high elasticity and high payoff directions.
On the other hand, the SEC and the White House have recently sent a series of relatively positive regulatory signals, gradually dissipating the long-standing policy cloud hanging over the crypto industry. For capital markets, this means both a reduction in risk compensation and opens space for valuation system restructuring.
Therefore, the earliest beneficiaries of this round remain the targets with the strongest beta attributes:
· Strategy leverages $BTC's rise to amplify balance sheet flexibility;
· Coinbase benefits from increased trading activity and industry recovery;
· Robinhood rides the wave of retail trading enthusiasm and expansion of digital asset business.
So, this rally should not be simply attributed to "all crypto sectors rising." Essentially, this is a beta resonance driven by the combined factors of liquidity expectation repair, regulatory pressure relief, and Bitcoin strengthening—what is earned is not the alpha of individual companies, but the beta of capital overall willing to assign higher valuation multiples to the crypto industry.
It is worth noting that if liquidity continues to improve in September and regulatory warmth increases, what we see now may only be the prologue, not the finale, of this crypto stock rally.

#BTC high-level oscillation, enhanced linkage with gold
#Earnings observer: Broadcom and Dell take over, AI returns under further scrutiny Can CORE, which combines Bitcoin security and the Ethereum ecosystem, become the "chosen one" in the BTCFi field?
In this cycle filled with Meme mania and L2 battles, most people's attention is either drawn to Bitcoin's new highs or lost in Ethereum's Cancun upgrade.
But there is a public chain quietly completing its transformation from "mining air" to "underlying infrastructure." That is CORE.
Today, I want to share a bold yet logically solid judgment: CORE is very likely to be the "chosen one" to succeed Bitcoin's narrative and carry the trillion-level BTCFi ecosystem in the future.
1. Why has the market overlooked CORE?
To be honest, CORE is not very appealing right now.
Weak on-chain data, ongoing block reward sell pressure, long-term price stagnation... these are objective "drawbacks." But precisely because of this, the expectation gap is so huge. Looking across the entire public chain track, you will find an astonishing fact: only CORE truly achieves "Bitcoin's security + Ethereum's smart contracts."
This is not just a slogan but a thoroughly solid technical foundation after two epic upgrades, Fusion and Hermes. The project once jokingly called "ICU" has fully revived.
2. Core logic: two major moats, an unbeatable combination
1. Security bottom line: leveraging Bitcoin's entire network hashrate
Unlike other public chains that rely on token staking (PoS) to maintain network security (essentially betting that the coin price won't crash), CORE uses an original Satoshi Plus consensus mechanism. It directly borrows Bitcoin's massive hashrate to protect its own network. What does this mean? It means CORE's security grows stronger as the Bitcoin network grows. The ledger of ordinary small public chains is like paper in front of Bitcoin's hashrate. CORE's ledger is a fortress.
2. Ecosystem compatibility: seamless connection to the Ethereum ecosystem
Security alone is not enough; it also has to be user-friendly.
CORE is fully compatible with EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine). This means all DeFi protocols, swap tools, and staking applications on Ethereum can almost costlessly migrate to CORE.
Developers don't need to learn new languages, and users don't need to change interaction habits. This is key for CORE to support large-scale application deployment.
3. Track explosion: BTCFi, a trillion-dollar blue ocean
We always talk about Ethereum's DeFi Summer, but has anyone thought about this: what else can Bitcoin holders do besides holding for appreciation?
Currently, Bitcoin holders lack native, secure yield channels. Cross-chain bridge risks are frequent, and centralized financial platforms keep collapsing. CORE's emergence is precisely to solve this pain point. Its main focus, the BTCFi (Bitcoin Finance) track, aims to enable Bitcoin native assets to achieve non-custodial, low-risk on-chain yield.
This is a trillion-dollar blue ocean market. Once Bitcoin whales realize they can activate their BTC holdings without selling, CORE's value as underlying infrastructure will explode exponentially.
4. Current status and outlook: foundation established, waiting for the wind
The current reality is: the technology is perfected, but large-scale capital has not yet entered.
It's like a building where the steel and concrete are topped off, the interior is luxurious, but the road to the entrance is not yet built, so few passersby come. This is why CORE is currently in a low-level consolidation phase. The only risk is: perfect technology but market awareness and capital enthusiasm have not reached a critical point. However, for long-term investors, this is precisely an opportunity. When the BTCFi track officially explodes and the Bitcoin ecosystem's spillover effect appears, CORE's unique underlying architecture will become the foundation for the next generation of public chains.
5. Conclusion
In one sentence to summarize CORE:
Foundation established, waiting for the wind; short-term consolidation, long-term ascension. In this market, excess returns often come from discovering early value. Entering when everyone is talking usually means entering at the peak.
Can CORE really become the next "Bitcoin successor"? Time will tell, but at least from the current technical architecture, it has all the potential.Complete Logic of Bitcoin's Price Increase
⚠️ Market review only, not investment advice; the crypto market is highly volatile
It can be divided into six major layers: supply side, demand side, macro liquidity, regulatory expectations, chip and leverage, narrative and belief.
1. Supply Side: Scarcity, Four-Year Halving (Fundamental Basis)
Total permanent cap of 21 million coins, no additional issuance.
Halving occurs every 4 years, cutting miners' daily new Bitcoin output in half, reducing new market selling pressure.
- Historical pattern: The market often trades ahead of halving expectations; major tops mostly appear 12-18 months after halving.
- Current status: 94% of Bitcoin has been mined, with fewer new coins entering circulation; a large amount of coins remain unmoved long-term (whales hoarding, cold wallets), reducing liquid chips on exchanges, so small amounts of capital can push prices up.
2. Demand Side: Real Buying Pressure, Institutions Are the Biggest Variable This Cycle
1. US Spot ETFs
BlackRock and other ETFs provide pensions, family offices, and ordinary Americans a compliant channel to buy BTC; continuous net inflows into ETFs represent ongoing passive buying and are the most important indicator of the mid-term trend.
2. Listed Companies Hoarding Coins (e.g., MicroStrategy)
Companies convert part of their cash into Bitcoin on their balance sheets, continuously buying and directly absorbing circulating market chips.
3. Global Retail and High Net Worth Allocation
Treat Bitcoin as "digital gold" to hedge fiat overissuance and geopolitical risks.
3. Macro Liquidity (Most Impactful, Primary Short-Term Driver)
Bitcoin is a highly elastic risk asset, highly sensitive to US dollar liquidity.
1. Fed rate cut expectations and declining US Treasury yields
Lower risk-free interest rates cause funds to flow out of bonds into stocks and risk assets like Bitcoin; when Treasury yields surge, Bitcoin usually comes under pressure.
2. Weakening US dollar makes Bitcoin priced in dollars easier to rise.
Simply put: In a loose liquidity environment, Bitcoin is more likely to bull; in tight liquidity, even strong narratives are easily suppressed.
4. Regulatory Policy Expectations
- Positive: Clear US crypto legislation, softened SEC stance, ETF approvals, more countries allowing compliant holdings will open space for incremental capital inflows.
- Negative: Total bans and strict regulations directly suppress the market.
A large part of the bull market is trading on "expectations of improved regulation."
5. Chip Structure + Leverage Short Squeeze (Short-Term Surge Catalyst)
1. Long-term holders on-chain do not move: large amounts of BTC locked in cold wallets, not sold, shrinking circulating supply.
2. Derivatives leverage: when price breaks key resistance, accumulated short positions are forcibly liquidated; shorts buying coins to close positions become passive buying, further driving up prices—this is a short squeeze. Many rapid large bullish candles come from leverage liquidations, not all from spot buying.
6. Narrative and Belief: Value Consensus
Two core narratives:
1. Inflation resistance, hedge against fiat depreciation: governments can print money, but Bitcoin’s total supply cannot be changed.
2. Decentralized digital value storage, not controlled by any single country.
The narrative itself does not directly drive price up but attracts capital willing to allocate, turning the story into real money.
Conversely, what can interrupt the rise?
1. Fed rate hikes again, liquidity tightening; US Treasury yields continue rising.
2. ETFs shift from net inflows to sustained large redemptions, institutional funds withdraw.
3. Global economic crisis, all risk assets crash together.
4. Major negative regulatory news.
5. Excessive leverage accumulation followed by concentrated long liquidations and panic selling.
Summary in one sentence
Halving tightens supply as the foundation; macro liquidity determines the overall environment; ETFs and institutional funds provide incremental buying; regulation opens institutional space; leverage and sentiment amplify price swings.
Relying on a single factor leads to misjudgment; only multiple factors resonating together can produce a major bull market.$CORE, headline attention, friends! OKX is still the last exchange where core exists with some dignity. If even OKX has started delisting its own product, then it’s clear that this project has completely fallen apart. Even earning coins on the core chain has been canceled, which is both sad and ridiculous. This is real news, the exchange’s delisting announcement 👇👉Did nothing, just went to the restroom, and when I came back, the K-line had already done the work for me. During the intraday bottom consolidation, $POL's rebound was weak; every rally lacked strength, and the volume couldn't keep up at all. The bull trap was so obvious it made me want to vomit even through the screen.
At that moment, I thought, no one would catch it if it goes up from here, so I might as well short it following the trend. I placed the stop loss above the cost, so if I was wrong, I'd only lose the cost of a meal. Entered the short at 0.10747, and just checked back—current price is 0.08939, +840.69%, feeling good, brothers.
When it comes to profits, pocket the big part first: close 70% of the position, then move the stop loss to the cost price for the remaining 30%, letting the profit run down naturally. When it was grinding earlier, I wondered if I was wrong, but luckily I held back and didn't act. This short wasn't perfect, but at least the rhythm was steady, and I didn't miss any meat to eat.
Don't lose patience grinding in a range and then try to regain dignity in a trending move. Being out of position isn't a sin; opening random positions is the mistake. Profit retracements are most dangerous when you get itchy hands and add positions recklessly—remember this.
Brothers, now is not the time to rush; chasing highs easily gets you stuck at the peak. There will be more opportunities later, wait for the next shot. Taking it slow is actually faster. I'll keep a close watch for the next round.
$BTC $SNDK Understanding the past and present of eth is to understand the future of core
⚠️Content is only a historical review of the sector and does not constitute any investment advice
Many people only know ETH as the second largest by market cap, but they don't know it has faced multiple near collapses along the way, growing from a whitepaper written by a teenager into the foundational base of the entire Web3. Understanding its ups and downs is more important than simply betting on price movements.
1. Germination: An experiment project not favored
In 2013, 19-year-old Vitalik wrote the Ethereum whitepaper, proposing the concept of a world computer: Bitcoin can only transfer value, while Ethereum can run smart contracts, allowing blockchain to run various applications.
In 2014, crowdfunding was conducted, exchanging Bitcoin for ETH. At that time, most of the Bitcoin community was skeptical, thinking this new project was too abstract and unrealistic.
In July 2015, the mainnet launched with very few early developers. It was just a niche technical experiment without large-scale applications, prices were low, and few realized its future potential.
2. Life-and-death crisis: hacked and nearly killed in the first year
In 2016, the major security incident of The DAO occurred, where hackers exploited contract vulnerabilities to steal 3.6 million ETH, worth tens of millions of dollars at the time.
The market panicked, and the coin price was halved. The community erupted in a huge debate: since blockchain pursues immutability, should there be a hard fork to roll back transactions and recover losses?
After the debate, the vast majority chose a hard fork to recover the stolen assets, which also split off Ethereum Classic ETC.
This was Ethereum's darkest hour, with widespread pessimism and many declaring the project dead, but the community survived the governance crisis and lived on.
3. First boom: ICO bubble, instant fame (2017)
The ERC-20 token standard was born, countless new projects issued tokens on Ethereum, and the ICO wave swept the entire crypto market.
ETH surged from single digits, firmly establishing itself as the second largest cryptocurrency.
But the bubble came fast and burst quickly. The 2018 bear market arrived, countless ICO projects went to zero, ETH plummeted 90% from its peak, network congestion and high Gas fees were magnified, and criticism flooded back.
4. Bear market sedimentation: bubble fades, real ecosystem begins to grow (2018-2020)
The bull market bubble subsided, speculative funds left, and developers stayed to focus on building.
DeFi began to sprout, with lending and decentralized exchanges gradually landing; NFT standards took shape.
Outsiders still complained about Ethereum's slowness and high fees, but the underlying infrastructure quietly iterated, preparing for the next big market.
5. Two major narratives ignite, reaching historic highlights (2020-2021)
1. DeFi summer: lending, swaps, liquidity mining exploded, with massive funds flowing on-chain;
2. NFT wave: CryptoKitties and profile picture NFTs went viral, bringing Ethereum into the public eye.
EIP-1559 launched, implementing fee burn mechanism, giving ETH deflationary properties, and the price hit a historic high of $4878.
6. Epic upgrade: The Merge, completing the transformation from mining to staking (2022)
The years-long The Merge was completed, bidding farewell to GPU mining, switching to PoS staking consensus, reducing energy consumption by 99%, sharply shrinking ETH issuance, and officially forming the deflation narrative.
The upgrade process was not smooth, with multiple delays and strong opposition from miners, but it was implemented under great pressure. Subsequent Cancun upgrade promoted Layer2 scaling, solving the old pain point of high fees.
7. Review: Ethereum's comeback and lessons for ordinary people
1. There is no eternal god; even great projects have faced death multiple times. ETH endured hacker attacks, bear market crashes, and upgrade delays, not rising smoothly but surviving crisis after crisis.
2. True value comes from the ecosystem, not mere hype stories. Its strength lies in DeFi, NFT, stablecoins, Layer2, and thousands of developers continuously building together, not a single concept.
3. Bull markets are results, not starting points. The surges in 2017 and 2021 came from years of technical sedimentation during bear markets. Many only see the later glory and ignore the long early struggles when no one cared.
4. Technical routes are not smooth; upgrades will be delayed and controversial. Focus on long-term implementation results, don't be scared off by short-term negatives or blindly brainwashed by stories.
ETH's current status did not come out of nowhere. It tells us: sector narratives are important, but the underlying logic of long-term comebacks is surviving crises, continuous iteration, and ecosystem growth.
$ETH#Ethereum #Web3 Yesterday, the overall cryptocurrency prices remained in a weak structure. After a brief rebound to around 79,200 in the early session, the price faced precise resistance and failed to retest the peak a second time, then the market weakened and fell back. In the early morning, the price dipped to about 76,200 before stopping the decline and rebounding. Currently, the price is maintaining consolidation around 77,200, with intraday movement consistent with our expectations and a clear correction rhythm. For Ethereum, after a pullback to 2,380 was resisted, it rebounded and is currently consolidating narrowly above the 2,400 mark. The short-term structure is also weak, so today's focus is on the integrity of the bottom support. Without any obvious breakout signals, continue to adopt a range-bound approach, with main operations centered on high short positions.
The daily structure remains in a horizontal consolidation phase. The close at the end of the session showed a long lower shadow, indicating some buying support at low levels, but the real body of the candlestick still remains within the consolidation range without signs of a one-sided breakout, overall still a short-term rest structure. As the middle band moves further up, resistance is near 74,000, corresponding to the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of this phase's rise. In the short term, caution is needed against price pulling back to the middle band for correction. On the 4-hour chart, highs are progressively lower, with frequent long upper shadows above the 80,000 level, showing weak upward momentum. The lows at the end of the session also began to test downward. The Bollinger Bands remain horizontal, and after consecutive bearish candles, indicators show slight oversold signals. There may be a technical rebound during the day, but bears still have conditions to continue. Short positions should be adjusted as the middle band moves down, with the main bearish view unchanged.
Light short positions in the 78,000-78,300 range for BTC, targeting around 76,000. Short positions in the 2,430-2,450 range for Ethereum, targeting around 2,380. Use stop losses and respond flexibly within the range. #就业数据密集公布，沃什政策立场受检验 $BTC $ETH 🚨 SOMETHING IS SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH BITCOIN — AND IT’S MAKING ME QUESTION MY BEAR CASE
Saylor is selling again.
Miners dumped 23,000 BTC.
The CLARITY Act got delayed.
ETF outflows just hit record levels.
And Bitcoin?
It barely fucking moved.
Read that again.
This market is getting hit with headline after headline that should be sending $BTC through the floor.
Instead, it keeps absorbing the selling.
That is the first thing I’ve seen in months that genuinely makes me question my bearish thesis.
I’m still not bullish.
Not yet.
I still think Bitcoin has one final brutal flush left before the real expansion begins.
My two scenarios:
BULL:
$64K → $74K → $95K
BEAR:
$64K → $57K → $49K
I’m still betting on $49K first.
But here’s where I’ll admit I’m wrong:
If Bitcoin keeps eating this much supply and STILL refuses to break lower, I’m flipping fast.
Because markets that refuse to dump on bad news are telling you something.
And if a supercycle really is coming, one final liquidation event would be the perfect way to wipe out the last weak hands before it starts.
I called the crash from $111K.
I called the $82K bull trap.
I called the SpaceX collapse from $220 → $105.
And when I finally start buying Bitcoin again, I’ll post it here BEFORE everyone suddenly decides the bull market is back.

Extreme short squeeze pressure persisted all day, with leverage reaching up to 108x and continuing to strengthen — but total 24-hour liquidations were only $12,400, indicating liquidity exhaustion has completely distorted the data signals.
Time Total Liquidation Long Liquidation Short Liquidation
1 hour $73.21 $73.21 $0
4 hours $12,200 $12,200 $0
12 hours $12,200 $12,200 $0
24 hours $12,400 $12,200 $112.29
From OKB liquidation data, shorts monopolized all liquidations in the 1-hour window, with long liquidations at $73.21 and shorts at zero, starting with an extreme short squeeze but at a very small scale; at 4 hours, shorts maintained extreme pressure with volume surging to $12,200; at 12 hours, shorts continued extreme pressure with volume unchanged; at 24 hours, shorts closed at **108x** leverage, with long liquidations at $12,200 versus shorts at $112.29, totaling only $12,400 in liquidations. Short leverage moved from extreme squeeze → extreme squeeze → extreme squeeze → 108x, showing a continuous strengthening trend, with short squeeze momentum stabilizing at a high level. The 12-hour liquidation accounted for 98.4% of the 24-hour total, indicating very high concentration — large-scale liquidations were almost entirely within the first 12 hours, with only minimal increments at the end. Leverage is recommended to be compressed to within 3x; this product’s liquidation volume is very small, data is distorted, and it is not recommended as a directional indicator.
🔥 Market Barometer | September 1
Today’s three hot topics point to the same theme: Wash’s hawkish tone is about to face the ultimate test from employment data; Bitcoin and gold are deeply linked under the "fiat credit revaluation"; and Broadcom and Dell’s earnings will successively verify the sustainability of AI hardware returns.
📊 Nonfarm Payrolls Friday Debut: Can Wash’s "Hawk" Withstand the Data "Blade"?
At 20:30 Beijing time on September 4, the US August nonfarm payroll report will be released. Reuters surveys expect an increase of 58,000 jobs, with unemployment steady at 4.1%; ING economists expect about 65,000 new jobs. July’s nonfarm unexpectedly decreased by 23,000, and May and June combined were revised down by 103,000.
Last week, Fed Chair Wash delivered his first keynote speech since taking office at Jackson Hole, clearly stating that if inflation does not "fall clearly and fast enough" to the 2% target, the Fed "still has work to do." CME data shows the probability of a September rate hike surged from about 35% before the speech to 66.1%. Citi economists believe there was no consensus for a rate hike at the July FOMC, and cooling inflation and slowing hiring mean a rate hike this year is unlikely. If this week’s data weakens again, the 66% hike expectation could quickly collapse.
₿ BTC High Volatility: Gold Linkage Hits Record High, $7 Billion Flows into ETFs
Bitcoin rose 28% in August, briefly surpassing $81,000, but fell under pressure after Wash’s hawkish speech, currently oscillating between $77,000-$78,000.
The 90-day correlation coefficient between Bitcoin and gold hit a record high, with the 30-day indicator reaching a yearly peak of 0.8. This shift is driven by "fiat credit revaluation" — US Treasury debt surpassing $40 trillion, investors no longer choosing between gold and Bitcoin but buying both "non-government credit assets" simultaneously. In the past five trading days, gold and Bitcoin ETFs attracted a record $7 billion inflow. Among them, SPDR Gold ETF attracted nearly $3.4 billion, and BlackRock Bitcoin ETF attracted $1.5 billion. Bitcoin is completing its role transition from a "tech asset" to "digital gold."
🖥️ Broadcom and Dell Take Over: AI Hardware Returns Face New Test
Following Nvidia’s explosive $96.2 billion revenue report, the AI hardware sector faces a new round of tests this week.
Dell led with an earnings beat after market close on September 1: Q2 revenue of $46.97 billion, far exceeding the expected $44.92 billion; AI-optimized server revenue of $16.4 billion, also beating expectations; the company significantly raised its full-year AI server sales forecast to $74 billion. Shares rose 5% after hours.
Broadcom will release Q3 earnings after market close on September 2. Analysts expect revenue of $29.43 billion, up 84.5% year-over-year; EPS of $2.55, up 199.5%. Key market variables include whether the $16 billion AI semiconductor target can be met and whether Google’s custom chip orders will be diverted due to Marvell’s involvement.
💎 Summary
Three events paint the same picture: This Friday’s nonfarm payrolls will test Wash’s hawkish "still has work to do" stance — if employment weakens again, the 66% rate hike expectation could quickly collapse; Bitcoin and gold are deeply linked under "fiat credit revaluation," with a record $7 billion ETF inflow and correlation hitting a record high; Dell has proven with an earnings beat that AI server demand is still booming, and Broadcom will be tested tonight.
As employment data, macro narratives, and AI earnings converge in the same week — the market awaits the final answer on September 4. Meanwhile, OKB’s liquidation data offers another dimension of signals: only $12,400 liquidated all day, with 98.4% in 12 hours — this is not the market expressing direction but liquidity exhaustion causing data distortion. In this major macro week, marginal contract markets have been completely abandoned by traders, with funds concentrated on core assets like BTC, ETH, and XAU. OKB’s liquidation data is just a joke to look at, not to be taken seriously. #就业数据密集公布，沃什政策立场受检验

#财报观察员：博通与戴尔接棒，AI回报再受检验 📊 Bond market sees massive sell-off, crypto sector risks require heightened vigilance
Recently, the global bond market has experienced a fierce sell-off, with bond yields in the US, Japan, and the UK soaring collectively, which is a solid macro headwind for the crypto market.
Although BTC spot ETFs continue to see net inflows, and IBIT is still increasing positions, institutional long-term accumulation of coins has not stopped. But slow buying by institutions does not mean the market won’t experience deep corrections.
Currently, the greed and fear index is still at 70 in the greed zone, and bullish sentiment in the market remains high. Last night’s sharp drop caused liquidations of 310 million across the network in 24 hours, mostly long positions being wiped out; bulls who entered at high levels have started to bear losses.
I still maintain a bearish outlook for now, focusing on several key signals:
1. The 10-year US Treasury yield: if it continues to hold above 4.8% and pushes toward 5%, global liquidity will tighten further, making it difficult for BTC to remain unaffected.
2. If oil prices continue to approach $100, it will further push inflation higher, making it hard for the Federal Reserve to pivot to rate cuts.
Many people still say institutions keep buying ETFs, so the market won’t fall. But it’s important to distinguish that institutions are doing long-term positioning and allow for significant drawdowns along the way.
This week, there will also be major US employment data, which will directly impact Federal Reserve policy expectations.
Long-term $BTC $ETH $OKB base positions can continue to be held. My contract strategy is to short whenever the price rises.
⚠️ The above is only my personal market analysis and does not constitute investment advice. The market can change suddenly at any time; profits and losses are your own responsibility.#闪迪MSCI调仓生效，NAND估值受关注
Let me be straightforward with you mid-term intel folks: SanDisk $SNDK's surge from a 2% drop to a 5.5% gain at the close on August 31 was purely due to the MSCI global index rebalancing taking effect. Passive funds aggressively bought at the closing price, tripling daily volume. This is a liquidity-driven rally, not a fundamental shift.
But the fire can burn because there’s fuel underneath—this NAND cycle isn’t an ordinary rebound. AI data centers are driving enterprise SSD demand crazy, with Q3 contract prices still rising 10%–15% quarter-over-quarter. SanDisk’s FY26 Q4 revenue is projected to soar 372% year-over-year, and they’re tying up capacity with Kioxia and signing multi-year long-term contracts, rewriting the cyclical stock narrative into "locked-in cash flow."
Mid-term, my view is: the index money will be absorbed in a few days; what truly supports valuation is whether the NAND price increase slope can hold through 2027. The consumer side already finds prices high, and the price increase slope is converging, but the supply-demand gap remains unfilled.
Holding $SNDK, don’t chase the late-session spike. Watch for pullbacks and focus on the enterprise SSD share and long-term contract coverage—that’s the mid-term anchor.

$BTC Biden's Two Faces: Easing Liquidity, Forcing Japan to Raise Rates, Crypto Giants Secretly Bottom-Fishing
Three Things Biden Did at the G20: Forced Japan to Raise Rates, Loosened Credit, Expanded Buybacks. Left hand eases liquidity, right hand tightens it—split personality.
Easing credit to support the real economy? But the 10-year US Treasury yield surged to 4.75%, with inflation fighting by the Fed, oil price rebound, and long-term bond supply pressing down. Loosening credit would further ignite inflation and prolong the high interest rate cycle. Forcing Japan to raise rates in September causes carry trade unwinding, global liquidity tightening, and risk assets taking the first hit.
But Strategy and BitMine are increasing positions against the trend—throwing $370 million into buying BTC and hoarding ETH for 65 consecutive weeks. They are betting on the long-term narrative of fiat credit collapse; BTC's correlation with gold has hit a historic high, with capital viewing it as a hedge against depreciation.
Judgment: Biden's policies are contradictory, with no short-term macro solution, but institutional long-term logic remains unchanged. Panic selling may occur before Japan's rate hike—that will be the moment to observe absorption strength.
Action: Do not chase highs now; wait for the yen rate hike to land, then enter BTC in batches below 75,000. Don't mistake institutional strategic accumulation for reckless all-in—they can handle $1.8 billion in interest, can you?

#Strategy与BitMine同步增持 CORE: Saying Goodbye to the Inflation Narrative, Entering the Era of Real Revenue in 2026
⚠️ Content is for track communication and review only, not investment advice
Many people's impression of CORE still lingers in the early days of airdrops and inflation incentives.
But in 2026, it has adopted a new approach.
In the past, public chains relied on token subsidies to fuel the ecosystem and used inflation to generate hype; when the hype faded, the token price reverted to its original state. This is a cycle that most public chains cannot escape.
Core DAO's answer this year: no longer telling stories through token issuance, but relying on real ecological transaction fee revenue to create a buyback flywheel.
Its positioning is very clear: the Bitcoin power grid.
Bitcoin has trillions in assets long stored in cold wallets, which can only be hoarded, not yield interest or participate in DeFi. lstBTC is non-custodial liquid staking; BTC holders do not have to give up ownership but can obtain liquid staking certificates to lend, trade, and earn yields, unlocking the liquidity of dormant Bitcoin stock.
Custodial institutions like BitGo, Cobo, Fireblocks, etc., are all integrated, offering BTC staking services to institutions; SatPay Bitcoin payment banking continues to advance, connecting staking yield, lending, and debit card spending to generate real transaction fee income, which flows back to token buybacks.
The previous dispute and settlement with Maple Finance was interpreted by many as a defeat.
In essence, it was a business stop-loss: both parties did not admit fault, ended the long litigation, recovered user assets, cleared ecological negatives, and focused all energy on 2026 revenue realization, no longer wasting resources on internal conflicts.
The bullish logic is straightforward:
✅ BTCFi is a major trend; the financialization of Bitcoin assets is an important narrative for the next bull market;
✅ Shifting from inflation-driven to business revenue-driven; if ecological fees and buybacks can be realized, the token value logic will be completely rewritten;
✅ Multiple lines including institutional custody, lstBTC, and SatPay are advancing simultaneously, with product launch expectations.
But risks cannot be ignored:
🔴 Strong narrative, but ultimately depends on implementation progress; a blueprint does not equal real output;
🔴 Intense competition in the BTCFi track, with competitors continuously diverting traffic;
🔴 Tokens still face unlocking and selling pressure; the overall Bitcoin market will greatly affect CORE's performance, and small token volatility will be much greater than BTC.
In a bull market, track stories only give you imagination space; what truly determines how far it goes is whether the narrative can be turned into tangible revenue.
CORE is now standing at this crossroads of validation.
$CORE #CoreDAO #BTCFiWhy does Bitcoin rise every 4 years?
⚠️ Market review only, not investment advice; the crypto market is highly volatile.
This can be divided into six major layers: supply side, demand side, macro liquidity, regulatory expectations, chip and leverage, narrative and belief.
1. Supply side: Scarcity, four-year halving (fundamental basis)
Total permanent cap of 21 million coins, no additional issuance.
Halving occurs every 4 years, cutting miners' daily new Bitcoin production in half, reducing new selling pressure in the market.
- Historical pattern: The market often trades ahead of halving expectations; major peaks mostly appear 12-18 months after halving.
- Current status: 94% of Bitcoin has been mined, with fewer new coins entering circulation; a large amount of coins remain unmoved long-term (whales hoarding, cold wallets), reducing liquid chips on exchanges, so a small amount of capital can push prices up.
2. Demand side: Real buying pressure, institutions are the biggest variable this cycle
1. US spot ETFs
BlackRock and other ETFs provide pension funds, family offices, and ordinary Americans a compliant channel to buy BTC; continuous net inflows into ETFs represent ongoing passive buying and are the most important indicator of the mid-term trend.
2. Public companies hoarding coins (e.g., MicroStrategy)
Companies convert part of their cash into Bitcoin on their balance sheets, continuously buying and directly absorbing circulating market chips.
3. Global retail and high-net-worth allocations
Treat Bitcoin as "digital gold" to hedge fiat overissuance and geopolitical risks.
3. Macro liquidity (largest impact, primary short-term driver)
Bitcoin is a highly elastic risk asset, highly sensitive to US dollar liquidity.
1. Fed rate cut expectations, US Treasury yields declining
Lower risk-free interest rates cause funds to flow out of bonds into stocks, Bitcoin, and other risk assets; when Treasury yields surge, Bitcoin usually comes under pressure.
2. Weakening US dollar makes Bitcoin priced in dollars more likely to rise.
Simply put: In a loose liquidity environment, Bitcoin is more likely to bull; when liquidity tightens, even strong narratives are easily suppressed.
4. Regulatory policy expectations
- Positive: Clear crypto legislation in the US, softer SEC stance, ETF approvals, more countries allowing compliant holdings will open space for incremental capital inflows.
- Negative: Comprehensive bans and strict regulations directly suppress the market.
A large part of the bull market is trading on "expectations of improved regulation."
5. Chip structure + leverage short squeeze (short-term surge catalyst)
1. Long-term on-chain holders do not move: large amounts of BTC locked in cold wallets, not sold, shrinking circulating supply.
2. Derivatives leverage: When price breaks key resistance, a large number of accumulated short positions are forcibly liquidated; shorts buying coins to close positions become passive buying pressure, further driving prices up—this is a short squeeze. Many rapid large green candles come from leverage liquidations, not all from spot buying.
6. Narrative belief: value consensus
Two core narratives:
1. Inflation resistance, hedge against fiat depreciation: governments can print money, but Bitcoin’s total supply cannot be changed.
2. Decentralized digital value storage, not controlled by any single country.
The narrative itself does not directly drive price up but attracts capital willing to allocate, turning the story into real money.
Conversely, what can interrupt the rise?
1. Fed rate hikes again, liquidity tightening; US Treasury yields continue rising.
2. ETFs shift from net inflows to sustained large redemptions, institutional capital withdraws.
3. Global economic crisis, all risk assets crash together.
4. Major negative regulatory news.
5. Excessive leverage accumulation followed by concentrated long liquidations causing a crash.
In summary
Halving tightens supply as the foundation; macro liquidity determines the overall environment; ETFs and institutional funds provide incremental buying; regulation opens institutional space; leverage and sentiment amplify price swings.
Looking at a single factor alone leads to misjudgment; multiple factors must resonate together to produce a major bull market.🌁 AI Crypto Monitor

🕵️ Arthur Hayes deposited 6,000 $ETH ($10.14M) into FalconX and Galaxy Digital.
📘 Follow whether builders, users or liquidity respond.$BTC’s August rally was not driven by aggressive leverage.
Bitcoin moved from roughly $63.5K to $80K while futures open interest fell about 9%, from ~646K BTC to ~588K BTC.
Price up + OI down usually means short covering and deleveraging, not a crowded long chase.
For bulls, the next test is a sustained reclaim of $80K.$XRP is showing a different derivatives setup from $BTC.
XRP futures exposure outside CME fell by more than 500M tokens in two weeks, while CME exposure rose roughly 36% as price approached $1.40.
That suggests leverage is rotating toward regulated markets. A clean hold above $1.40 could keep momentum alive; rejection may trigger a fast pullback.Bitcoin hovers near the $80,000 mark, but market sentiment shows subtle divergence. While retail investors hesitate, wondering if $80,318 is too expensive, Strategy chooses to continue adding positions at this price level, with a base cost of $75,412. This means that for this institution, $80,000 is just the replenishment cost after floating profits, not a risky chase for highs.
This confidence in operation stems from ample liquidity reserves. Data shows Strategy has about $6.69 billion in available funds, with this investment only $370 million, a very small proportion. Looking back at January and May, its single purchase sizes both exceeded $2 billion, making this move appear quite restrained, more like a strategic layout reserving space for lower price points.
From a behavioral logic perspective, the institution dares to buy at a price above the average cost, indicating its valuation anchor is set on the more distant future rather than short-term fluctuations. After ten weeks, it acts again and chooses to add positions after turning profitable, a series of moves that convey its judgment on future market potential.
For ordinary investors, this is not a simple "copycat" signal. The institution's long-term perspective, capital scale, and risk tolerance fundamentally differ from individual investors. $BTC price volatility remains intense; please view market changes rationally and carefully assess your own risk tolerance. 📊 $XAU Contract Liquidation Express (September 1)
Long positions have been crushed from an extreme 10,246x leverage down to 71.7x — a nuclear-level liquidation of gold short leverage completed within 4 hours, after which momentum continued to decline but longs still firmly controlled the market.
Time Total Liquidation Long Liquidation Short Liquidation
1 hour $358.86 $332.67 $26.19
4 hours $1,596,500 $1,596,400 $155.79
12 hours $5,933,300 $5,867,900 $65,400
24 hours $10,188,100 $10,048,000 $140,100
From the XAU liquidation data, in 1 hour longs crushed shorts by 12.7x with a volume of only $358; in 4 hours the long advantage soared to 10,246x with volume exploding to $1.5965 million, while short liquidation was only $155.79 — this is the most extreme crushing ratio in a single time window among all products today, bar none; at 12 hours the long advantage narrowed to 89.7x with volume rising to $5.9333 million, momentum marginally retreating from the peak; at 24 hours the long advantage further dropped to 71.7x at close, with long liquidations at $10.048 million versus shorts at $140,100, totaling over $10.18 million in liquidations. The long leverage ratio moved from 12.7x → 10,246x → 89.7x → 71.7x, showing a V-shaped reversal followed by high-level exhaustion. The short squeeze momentum peaked at 4 hours and then gradually declined but remained in a very strong range. The 12-hour liquidation accounts for 58.2% of the 24-hour total, indicating moderate concentration. Leverage is recommended to be compressed to within 3x; the direction is clear but momentum is retreating from the peak, so avoid blindly chasing longs.
🔥 Market Wind Vane | September 1
Today's three hot topics point to the same theme: Wash's hawkish stance is about to face the ultimate test from employment data; Bitcoin and gold are deeply linked under the "fiat credit revaluation"; and Broadcom and Dell's earnings will successively verify the sustainability of AI hardware returns.
📊 Nonfarm Payrolls Friday Debut: Can Wash's "Hawk" Withstand the Data "Blade"?
At 20:30 Beijing time on September 4, the US August nonfarm payroll report will be released. Reuters surveys expect an increase of 58,000 jobs with unemployment steady at 4.1%; ING economists forecast about 65,000 new jobs. July nonfarm unexpectedly shrank by 23,000, and May-June combined revisions cut 103,000 jobs.
Last week, Fed Chair Wash delivered his first keynote speech since taking office at Jackson Hole, clearly stating that if inflation does not "fall clearly and fast enough" to the 2% target, the Fed "still has work to do." CME data shows the probability of a September rate hike surged from about 35% before the speech to 66.1%. Citi economists believe there was no consensus for a rate hike at the July FOMC; cooling inflation and slowing hiring suggest hikes are unlikely this year. If data weakens again this week, the 66% hike expectation could quickly collapse.
₿ BTC High Volatility: Gold Linkage Hits Historic High, $7 Billion Flows into ETFs
Bitcoin gained 28% in August, briefly surpassing $81,000, but fell under pressure after Wash's hawkish speech, currently oscillating between $77,000-$78,000.
The 90-day correlation coefficient between Bitcoin and gold hit a historic high, with the 30-day indicator reaching a yearly peak of 0.8. This shift is driven by "fiat credit revaluation" — US debt surpassing $40 trillion means investors no longer choose between gold and Bitcoin but buy both "non-government credit assets" simultaneously. In the past five trading days, gold and Bitcoin ETFs attracted a record $7 billion inflow. SPDR Gold ETF drew nearly $3.4 billion, and BlackRock Bitcoin ETF attracted $1.5 billion. Bitcoin is completing its role transition from "tech asset" to "digital gold."
🖥️ Broadcom and Dell Take Over: AI Hardware Returns Under Further Scrutiny
Following Nvidia's explosive $96.2 billion revenue report, the AI hardware sector faces a new round of tests this week.
Dell led with an earnings beat after market close on September 1: Q2 revenue $46.97 billion, well above the expected $44.92 billion; AI-optimized server revenue $16.4 billion, also exceeding expectations; the company significantly raised its full-year AI server sales forecast to $74 billion. Shares rose 5% after hours.
Broadcom will release Q3 earnings after market close on September 2. Analysts expect revenue of $29.43 billion, up 84.5% year-over-year; EPS $2.55, up 199.5%. Key market variables include whether the $16 billion AI semiconductor target can be met and if Google's custom chip orders will be diverted due to Marvell's involvement.
💎 Summary
Three events paint the same picture: This Friday's nonfarm payrolls will test Wash's "still has work to do" hawkishness — if employment weakens again, the 66% rate hike expectation could quickly collapse; Bitcoin and gold are deeply linked under "fiat credit revaluation," with a record $7 billion ETF inflow and historic correlation highs; Dell has proven AI server demand is still booming with an earnings beat, and Broadcom will take over the test tonight.
As employment data, macro narratives, and AI earnings converge in the same week — the market awaits the final answer on September 4. #就业数据密集公布，沃什政策立场受检验
#BTC高位震荡，与黄金联动增强
#财报观察员：博通与戴尔接棒，AI回报再受检验 NVIDIA's earnings report just extended the narrative on computing power, but the real test from the market is only just beginning this week. Have you noticed that everyone's attention has quietly shifted from the chips themselves to the companies that are next in line to deliver results? Tonight Dell will release its earnings after the market closes, followed by Broadcom and Snowflake tomorrow. Looking at these three together, they are actually answering the same question: Can AI investments smoothly translate from just buying chips to the later stages like servers, networking, and software subscriptions? On the hardware side, the focus is on Dell's AI server orders and Broadcom's custom chips and networking equipment data. On the software side, it's about whether Snowflake can prove that cloud data demand has truly converted into stable subscription revenue. NVIDIA has already confirmed that demand for computing power remains, but it is not the main player in this round. My own observation is that the market is currently in a very delicate phase of fluctuation. Dell's stock price had already risen quite a bit before the earnings report, indicating high expectations; if the data isn't impressive enough, the pullback could be significant. As a core player in network chips, Broadcom's guidance basically determines how much imagination the AI data center interconnect line can sustain. If Dell's server orders and Broadcom's network data are both strong, then the AI industry chain will be fully connected from computing power to hardware and then to networking, giving investors more confidence to stay in this chain. But if the data diverges, the market will start to reprice, deciding which segments truly benefit and which are just riding the sentiment wave $SOL lost 3.57% in 24 hours, but the range of movement was 6.20% — it rose to 104.37 during the day and fell to 98.28 at night. 1100M green flowed into a 21% position within the range. How to interpret such volatility without a driver?
Since then, nothing has changed: funding is -0.0009%, and volume momentum in the last hour is 0.21x. $BTC is down -2%, and SOL is lagging the market by 1.6pp. Two contrasts: large moves and no trend.Bitcoin Super Bull Market Cycle Rate
Risk Warning: The following is only a review of industry logic and does not constitute investment advice.
What is a Super Bull Market?
Ordinary Four-Year Halving Bull Market: lasts 12-18 months, then crashes 75-85% after peaking, completing a full bull and bear reset.
Super Bull Market (Super Cycle):
No longer a complete collapse after a surge, but a long-term upward trend spanning multiple halving cycles; correction ranges narrow (mainly 20-40%, very rarely an 80% bear market); institutions continuously buy on dips; Bitcoin gradually transforms from a speculative asset into a reserve asset allocated by institutions and enterprises.
Two Historical Traditional Bull Markets (Non-Super Cycles)
1. 2017 Retail Bull Market: halving-driven, ICO bubble, retail frenzy, peaked near $20,000, then crashed 85%, a typical ordinary four-year bull market.
2. 2021 Institutional Bull Market: Fed's massive liquidity injection, Grayscale and listed companies entering, peaked at $69,000, followed by a deep bear market, still a standard 4-year cycle.
A true super cycle has not yet occurred; it is a mainstream market projection for the future, not a realized fact.
Five Major Conditions Must Be Met to Trigger a Bitcoin Super Bull Market
1. Supply Side: Halving causes continuous supply contraction
Every 4 years, block rewards halve, reducing new BTC inflow; large amounts of BTC move into cold wallets, exchange reserves continuously decline, circulating supply shrinks.
2. Demand Side: Continuous inflow of compliant institutional funds (most critical)
- Spot ETFs have stable long-term net inflows; pensions and family offices allocate Bitcoin;
- Listed companies include Bitcoin on their balance sheets;
- Some sovereign/local governments allocate Bitcoin as reserve assets.
Different from the past: no longer just retail speculation, but sustained allocation by the traditional financial system.
3. Macro Liquidity Friendly
Fed rate cuts, declining real interest rates; global debt and inflation anxieties drive markets to seek hedges beyond the dollar; the dollar credit narrative matures, providing macro narrative soil for Bitcoin.
4. Clear Regulatory Framework
The US and Europe enact clear crypto laws, eliminating the biggest institutional uncertainties; no longer fearing assets being directly classified as illegal, large funds dare to hold long-term heavy positions.
5. On-Chain Fundamentals: Long-term holders do not loosen their chips
During deep corrections, old coins are not sold off massively; corrections become institutional accumulation windows rather than panic sell-offs; the number of long-term holding addresses on-chain continues to grow.
Core Differences Between Super Bull Market and Ordinary Bull Market
Table
Dimension Ordinary Halving Bull Market Super Bull Market (Projected Scenario)
Duration 12-18 months main rise Over 8 years, spanning 2 halvings
Max Correction 75-85% crash Mostly 20-40% correction, destructive bear markets rare
Dominant Capital Retail, leveraged speculation Mainly institutional and corporate long-term allocation
Peak Signal Mass frenzy, everyone talks about crypto Phase bubbles, deep corrections followed by new highs
Outcome Complete bull-bear zero-sum reset Upward trend, volatility gradually decreases
What Situations Falsify (Prevent) a Super Bull Market
1. US regulatory crackdown intensifies, ETF funds have continuous large net outflows;
2. Fed restarts long-term high interest rates, risk assets collectively devalue;
3. Black swan event occurs, global liquidity crisis, all risk assets crash simultaneously;
4. On-chain long-term holders massively sell, chips rapidly flow back to exchanges.
Realistic Thoughts
Many people call every bull market a super cycle. A super cycle results from multiple structural conditions resonating, not just a price rising several times.
Even without a super cycle, traditional four-year halving bull markets can still produce huge gains; the super cycle is just an idealized projection, not a certainty.
