🚨 THE U.S. JUST LOST JOBS… AND MARKETS WEREN’T READY FOR IT.
The latest NFP report came in at -23K vs. +85K expected.
That’s a massive miss — instead of adding jobs, the U.S. economy actually lost 23,000 jobs.
Here’s how I’m reading it 👇
📉 USD: Bearish
🟡 Gold: Bullish
🚀 BTC & Crypto: Potentially bullish
A weaker labor market could increase expectations for easier Fed policy and future rate cuts — generally a positive setup for risk assets.
But there’s a catch. ⚠️
A number this weak also raises the risk of a sharper economic slowdown. If markets start pricing in recession instead of rate cuts, volatility could get ugly.
So I’m not chasing the first move.
I want to see $BTC confirm the direction before making any decisions.
The market will react fast.
I’d rather react to confirmation than become exit liquidity.
Stay patient.
Let the market reveal its hand. 👀
$BTC $ETH
#DailyOrbit With nonfarms implemented, what the market is really trading isn't data, but the Fed's next direction.
After tonight's U.S. nonfarm payroll data release, the market's initial reaction was not a simple "positive or negative" but a repricing of the liquidity environment for the coming months.
From the data, there are clear signs of cooling in the U.S. job market, with new jobs falling short of expectations and previous employment figures also being revised downward, indicating that the pressure on the economy from the high interest rate environment is gradually becoming apparent. The market has begun to lower expectations for the Federal Reserve to maintain a tough policy, putting pressure on the dollar and U.S. Treasury yields.
For the crypto market, the logic still revolves around two core elements:
First, dollar liquidity.
In recent years, Bitcoin and Ethereum have increasingly resembled high-volatility risk assets, closely linked to US and US dollar liquidity. When the market begins expecting rate cuts and capital risk appetite increases, BTC and ETH often benefit first.
Second, market chip structure.
Nonfarm payroll-level data often does not directly determine the trend but becomes a tool for capital shakeouts. Before data releases, large amounts of capital are positioned in advance, and after the data is released, there is a trend of "selling the direction first, then following the trend."
BTC:
At present, Bitcoin's medium- to long-term logic remains unchanged.
If the dollar continues to weaken and the Fed sends clearer easing signals, BTC still has a chance to test the previous resistance zone upward.
However, short-term trading cannot overlook one issue:
After the nonfarm payroll positive is implemented, if prices do not quickly break through resistance levels and instead experience a sharp rise and pullback, it suggests the market may have anticipated trading in advance, and funds will choose to take profits.
So next, let's focus on the following:
* Whether the upper resistance has been effectively broken;
* Whether trading volume has increased simultaneously;
* Whether there is capital to take over the pullback support.
A truly healthy rally is not a single candlestick pulling up, but continuous capital inflows driving the trend formation.
ETH:
Compared to BTC, Ethereum currently has greater resilience.
If the market enters a phase of risk appetite recovery, ETH usually experiences catch-up rallies.
However, the problem with ETH is that it requires new capital narratives to drive it, such as ecosystem growth and sustained ETF inflows; otherwise, simply following BTC's rise may have limited sustainability.
In the short term, ETH should focus on whether the support zone is stable.
If BTC remains strong, ETH is very likely to follow the rebound; If BTC experiences a sharp correction, ETH's higher volatility may lead to a more pronounced correction.
Summary:
The core signal sent by this nonfarm roll is not "the bull market is about to start," but rather that the market is gradually trading expectations of "improved liquidity."
The future market is unlikely to be a smooth rise, but rather a repeated battle between macro data, capital flows, and market sentiment.
For traders, the most important thing now is not to predict every candlestick, but to wait for trend confirmation.
A real major market usually doesn't happen on the day the data is released, but when the market has digested the data and funds begin to move in a convergent direction.[Pharaoh's Market Watch]
How does Pharaoh view tonight's non-farm payroll data?
Everyone is asking Pharaoh how to bet on tonight's non-farm payroll data—will Bitcoin surge or crash?
Pharaoh says directly: the data will most likely be weak tonight. The Bitcoin script is "dip first, then rebound." Don't chase near 64800; wait for a pullback to buy in more securely.
Let's first look at tonight's data expectations. The market expects about 83,000 new jobs added in July, with the unemployment rate steady at 4.2%. But some institutions have started to call for a downturn. Vanguard Group, based on 401(k) pension data, estimates only about 18,000 new jobs in July. ADP data has already given a warning signal: only 44,000 private sector jobs added in July, far below the expected 75,000. If tonight's data really disappoints, rate hike expectations will cool further, the dollar will weaken, and Bitcoin will get a short breather.
But the market consensus is just over 80,000, and the probability of below 60,000 is even higher. Fed Governor Cook also added fuel this week, saying if inflation doesn't come down, she is ready to support rate hikes.
So how will Bitcoin move?
Chasing longs here is just helping others carry the coffin. Combining the chart and macro expectations, Pharaoh leans toward a "dip first, then rebound" scenario—after the data release, first pull back to 64000-64300 to confirm support, then rebound to 65000-65500. If the data is significantly below expectations, it might even surge directly to 66000. But until 65000 breaks out with volume, don't rush in. Wait for the data to land and the market to digest the first wave of emotions before acting—this is a hundred times more reliable than betting on direction.
You can short blindly above 65000; a quick 500-1000 points profit is no problem!
Remember, good trades are waited for, not chased. Don't rush to jump in tonight; wait for the shoe to drop before making a move. Those who rush will lose first.
Follow Pharaoh, and wealth won't get lost! $BTC $ETH $SNDK MSTR重回102美元——比特币“影子股”正在发出关键信号
---
一、事件背景
8月7日，Strategy（MSTR）股价时隔两周多重回102美元上方。MSTR是全球最大的比特币企业级持有者，截至7月31日持有约843,775枚比特币，持仓价值约544亿美元，平均持仓成本约75,419美元/枚。
MSTR本质上是比特币的“杠杆化替代品”——当BTC上涨时，MSTR涨幅通常更大；当BTC下跌时，MSTR跌幅也更剧烈。因此，MSTR股价重返102美元，是市场对比特币信心恢复的一个重要信号。
二、为什么这次值得关注？
1. 从“折价”到“溢价”的扭转
MSTR股价此前长期低于其持有的比特币净值（NAV），出现“折价”现象。而近期这一趋势被扭转，重返102美元意味着市场对其比特币持仓估值的认可。
2. 市场情绪的关键转折点
两周前，MSTR股价一度跌破95美元，市场担心其债务安全边际和比特币下行风险。重返102美元，说明市场最悲观的时刻已经过去。
3. 配合ETF资金持续流入
当日比特币ETF净流入1,673枚BTC（约1.08亿美元），连续多日保持正流入。MSTR与ETF资金流向的同步性，强化了“机构资金正在重新入场”的判断。
三、核心逻辑：CLARITY法案预期与“最后上车”的巨鲸信号
MSTR股价反弹与三件事同步发生：
① CLARITY法案终现曙光
参议院银行委员会主席Tim Scott于8月6日晚间明确表示，法案“毫无疑问”将在休会前进行表决。尽管通过概率仍低于20%，但Scott作为共和党高层，其表态本身已释放出强烈的进展信号。这是近两个月以来首次出现积极的实质性消息面催化。
② 巨鲸公开喊多：“最后上车的机会”
“先定10个大目标”在X平台直言“最后上车的机会”。本轮行情中，该巨鲸用300枚BTC建仓，目标3亿美元，已实现盈利6,000万美元，此前四次多单三胜一负，累计获利996万美元。
③ 非农数据公布前的情绪预热
8月7日非农就业报告发布前，BTC已反弹至6.5万美元以上。市场对CLARITY法案的积极预期已部分计入价格，但尚未充分定价。
四、风险面：仍需警惕的变量
· CLARITY法案不确定性：通过概率仍低于20%，若休会前未能推进，短期市场或面临情绪修正。
· MSTR债务安全边际：持仓成本约7.5万美元，若BTC大幅回调，债务压力将重新成为市场担忧的焦点。
· 非农数据与美元指数：若就业数据超预期，美元反弹可能对BTC形成短期压制，打断当前的反弹节奏。
五、总结
MSTR重回102美元、ETF连续多日净流入、巨鲸公开喊多——三重信号正在同步发出。
MSTR作为比特币的“杠杆化替代品”，其股价领先BTC企稳，是市场最直接的情绪指标。如果CLARITY法案在未来一周内出现实质性突破，102美元可能只是MSTR反弹的起点。长期来看，年内比特币重回10万美元仍是大概率事件。
$BTC After this post was posted, it took 4 days of trading to push $BTC's price from 63k to 64.8k, during which many long positions were washed away, and some even turned from long to bearish. Now it is retesting the upper edge of the channel
Tonight's nonfarm payroll data was 5.7 previous, expected 8
If employment significantly exceeds 80,000 (for example, >120,000-150,000), → jobs remain resilient, which may weaken rate cut expectations and benefit the dollar, negatively impact gold, and US Treasuries.
Jobs close to or below 57,000 continue to cool, reinforcing expectations for Fed easing, which is bearish for the dollar, risk assets, and precious metals.
Personally, I don't think it will be too low. Most likely between 7-8 and waiting for market reaction. $BTC if it can maintain 64k after the data is released, it can at least continue to climb to 65.8kThe crypto M&A market is experiencing a "cash frenzy, shrinking volume" market segment. According to CryptoRank data, the crypto industry announced 87 M&A deals in the first half of 2026, a 25% decrease compared to the second half of 2025, but disclosed deal amounts rose to $9.66 billion, a month-on-month increase of 223%, setting a new half-year high in the statistics' history. Record-high amounts ≠ market valuations generally rise Behind this seemingly contradictory phenomenon is that only 24% of transactions disclosed amounts, while the top four transactions contributed 76% of the total disclosed amount. The median disclosed transaction remains at $100 million, indicating that "sky-high prices" are not the industry norm. Largest deal: Gemini acquired BitGo for about $3.77 billion, accounting for about 39% of the total amount. Second largest: SpaceX acquired VC for about $1.6 billion. These two deals together contributed more than half of the disclosure amount. M&A direction: Infrastructure becomes the biggest hotspot Infrastructure (19 cases, about 22%) surpassed DeFi (only 9 cases) to become the largest acquisition category. This indicates that the focus of M&A in the first half of 2026 is shifting from the product layer (trading platforms, DeFi protocols) to the underlying layer (compliance infrastructure, custody services, on-chain data, node operations). The crypto industry is undergoing a round of "territorial expansion"—leading players are strengthening market barriers through mergers and acquisitions, large deals are driving up disclosed total amounts, but transaction volumes for small and medium-sized projects are cooling down. A handful of leading players are strengthening market barriers through mergers and acquisitions, especially small and medium-sized projectsAt the end of October 2023, Bitcoin suddenly entered a bull market main rally
It rose from 25,000 to 74,000 in March 2024, breaking its all-time high
During this process, a large number of people missed out on the bull market
It was later revealed that the main driving force behind this bull market was the approval of Bitcoin ETFs and expectations of interest rate cuts
We all know that crypto bull markets are driven by narrative and liquidity.
Many people might think, why not just find the main narrative of the next bull market and buy the corresponding tokens?
Many people also wonder, with no good news now, how could a bull market possibly come?
This is a typical event transaction
In real environments, it's hard to predict what the next bull market narrative will be or when it will start, and ordinary people shouldn't invest time in narrative prediction
Let me give you a few examples to show just how challenging it is
In 2023, besides ETFs, there was also the Shanghai upgrade, Cancun upgrade, inscription ecosystem, Hong Kong compliance, and Layer 2 boom, each hailed as the "next bull market main theme"; Fake narratives are everywhere, making it hard to tell truth from falsehood right from the start
We now remember ETFs as the main theme because it eventually became the main theme; But at the same time, countless disproven narratives were forgotten afterwards.
This is the first difficulty: choose the right main storyline
On June 15, 2023, BlackRock submitted a spot ETF application. Although this signal is obvious now, at the time, no one believed it would definitely pass. Many believed the SEC had rejected it for ten years, and this time was no different—just pumping up and selling off.'
When Grayscale won, many said, "The SEC can still appeal and delay, but approval is still a long way off."
Moreover, the sharp drop in August and the SEC's delay in approval have made many feel the narrative has been disproven
At that time, it was still in a rate hike cycle, with the 10-year Treasury yield briefly exceeding 5%. Many people mechanically believed that high interest rates meant no bull market,
Until it broke through 35,000 in October, some still saw it as the "last lure for bulls."
The clarity afterwards is essentially survivor bias
Looking back at the 2023 ETF market, from BlackRock's application to Grayscale's victory and official approval, every step was like a clear card, but no main narrative was recognized by the entire market on day one. By the time everyone confirmed this was the main theme, the market had often already risen 50% or even doubled, and the most fattest early gains had already passed.
This is the second difficulty: being able to believe the main story is successful and dare to hold a heavy position
Back to the current environment, we still face the same problem. Today, we see that the Clarity Act has been postponed to the September vote, so the question is, will it definitely pass in September? Will it pass this year? What if it doesn't?
Also, the liquidity environment that hasn't started a bull market yet, and the market is still pricing in a September rate hike, with occasional news of three rate hikes
If you don't know these questions, I advise you not to invest too much effort in finding answers. Countless geniuses on Wall Street are searching for answers. They can study what spokespersons say, read documents, privately communicate with relevant people in circles, conduct interviews, and so on. These information advantages are beyond what we can have
For us, the main focus is on the chip structure
Now, Bitcoin has dropped more than 50% from last October. A full 10 months have passed, and the market has told us selling pressure is exhausted and sentiment has cleared. So we just need to keep buying and don't pay attention to external news, negative news, or various KOL predictions—those are all noise
Second, choose places where winners gather
Every Bitcoin bull market has its own narrative, and this one is undisputed and a must-buy
Those that can capture the main storyline are all public chain tokens, such as ETH, BNB, SOL
2024 will be the meme narrative for Solana; 2025 will be Bitmine buying ETH and BNB for two years; Launchpool in 2024 and treasury buying coins in 2025;
The next step is sector selection, which is less certain than public blockchains. For example, DeFi ended badly in 2023. Back then, DeFi protocols were excellent in every aspect—revenue, growth, and far better than those empty ones. The star sector of 2021, but sorry, this bull market narrative isn't on your side—the price is only half dead, except for Aave, which is a bit better.
If you think DeFi will turn things around in the next bull market, you can allocate some assets, but you can't go all-in;
If you think the upcoming main narrative of the bull market will be RWA, then the tokens we choose will benefit from these narrative dividends and won't bet on the wrong one
For ordinary people like us, the only thing we can do in a bear market is to keep buying and then wait, because we don't have an information advantage;
Don't wait for good news to start buying
Every bull market starts suddenly out of despair, giving you no chance to react, because the start is always at its worst—no good news, poor liquidity, sluggish turnover, and the whole circle feels like it's over
Only two types of people keep buying:
1. Firm long-term holders, not asking for news, just buying
2. The geniuses with information advantages on Wall Street have studied and continuously accumulate chips
Then one day, the price suddenly rises, and most people still think it's just a bullish inducementRate hike expectations cool, gold returns to 4300? U.S. employment data is fiercely contested, Federal Reserve officials are voicing the "empty city strategy," and the market is on the eve of a decisive battle.
📊 Core conflict: data is fighting, officials are bucking
The current macro environment is in a state of extreme division:
Employment polarization: ADP hit a new low of 44,000 this year, signaling "hiring is stagnating"; The initial unemployment claim of 199,000 yuan hit a four-year low, proving that "the company has not started layoffs." Goldman Sachs pointed out that the market is currently in a delicate balance of "low hiring, low layoffs."
Fed Split Views: Schmid issued a rate hike warning, Cook claimed he was watching inflation action, while Bescent thought it was unnecessary. The three giants have three voices, leaving the probability of a rate hike in September at a 55% life-or-death threshold.
💸 Asset Game: Gold goes left, BTC goes right
Different assets have made completely different underlying pricing for this round of "data battles":
Gold (XAU): The absolute barometer of interest rates
Trading logic: ADP weakens ➡️, rate hike expectations cool, ➡️ both the dollar and US Treasury yields fall, ➡️ and the non-yielding asset gold benefits.
Current situation: Although it pulled back after reaching $4,300, it is the most sensitive and pure pricing in weakening macro interest rates.
SanDisk (SNDK): Positive performance, falling short of expectations
Trading logic: Revenue surged 372%, gross margin reached 84.6%, accompanied by massive buybacks, but the natural fear rate for high-tech growth stocks remained high.
Current situation: 7% plunge in after-hours trading, proving the market currently only looks at the "future interest rate environment" and ignores "past financial performance"
。 Bitcoin (BTC): Macro Slowdown, Capital Tug-of-War
Trading logic: Although ETFs continue to see net inflows, Coinbase's premium has been negative for 80 consecutive days, showing a situation where "US institutions are withdrawing, Asian funds are taking over," and neither side is taking over.
Current status: Fluctuating sideways around $64,000. It's not that they ignore macroeconomic factors, but internal divisions within the Fed have made funds hesitant to bet on BTC too early.
🎯 Summary and Outlook
Gold is trading interest rate expectations, while BTC is waiting for its own catalyst.
The current macro direction is extremely unclear, and the contradictions between the two sets of employment data have directly leveled the bullish and bearish forces. Tonight's nonfarm payroll data and next Thursday's CPI will be the ultimate judges to break this deadlock. Once the data sets the tone and the suspense of a rate hike in September settles in, the market will truly move toward a one-sided direction.
#联储鹰派信号升温, can weak employment outpace inflation? August 7 | BTC Data Evening Report
BTC real-time quotes
At the time of writing, BTC was trading near $65,150, with a 24-hour high of about $65,391 and a low of about $64,166, up about 1.49% in 24 hours, with the price returning to around $65,000.
ETF funds
On August 6, the US spot BTC ETF recorded a total net inflow of $137.6 million, marking the fourth consecutive trading day of net inflows.
From August 3 to 6, cumulative net inflows amounted to approximately $763.6 million. Capital continuity improved significantly, but single-day inflows on August 6 declined compared to the previous day.
On-chain Tokens (Address Calibration)
Consecutive snapshots from August 6 to August 7:
Below 10 BTC: net decrease of about 28 BTC, latest total holdings about 3.4387 million BTC
10–100 BTC: Net decrease of about 1,805 BTC, latest total holdings about 4.2202 million BTC
Above 100 BTC: net increase of about 2,070 BTC, latest total holdings about 12.4054 million BTC
Inside 100 BTC or more:
100–1,000 BTC: net increase of about 3,645 BTC, latest about 5.1664 million BTC
1,000–10,000 BTC: Net decrease of about 323 BTC, latest about 4.2779 million BTC
10,000–100,000 BTC: net decrease of about 1,252 BTC, latest about 2,256,400 BTC
Above 100,000 BTC: net change of 0 BTC, latest about 704,700 BTC
The new additions are mainly concentrated in the 100–1,000 BTC range; above 1,000 BTC, the increase did not occur simultaneously.
BTC exchange
Major exchanges have a total BTC reserve of about 3.6232 million BTC, with a net decrease of about 1,381 BTC over the past day.
Among them, Coinbase saw a net decrease of about 677 BTC, Binance a net decrease of about 508 BTC, OKX a net increase of about 231 BTC, and Bybit a net increase of about 319 BTC. Currently, there is no centralized BTC reflow on exchanges.
Stablecoin liquidity
The total stablecoin size is about $300.435 billion, up about $506 million (+0.17%) over the past 7 days, but still down about 0.76% over the past 30 days.
USDT was about $183.341 billion, basically flat over 7 days; USDC was about $71.921 billion, down about 2.00% over 30 days.
Stablecoin liquidity has recently stabilized but has not yet formed a significant expansion. Continued ETF inflows have not yet strongly resonated with on-chain US dollar liquidity.
Contract data
BTC open interest is about $50.48 billion, 24-hour contract turnover is about $42.58 billion, spot trading is about $2.63 billion, and BTC liquidation is about $38.93 million.
Contract trading is about 16 times that of spot trading, and the funding rate is close to neutral. The current risk is not obvious bullish overheating, but rather that trading activity remains highly concentrated on the derivatives side.
Important news today
U.S. nonfarm payrolls unexpectedly fell by 23,000 in July, and the May and June employment figures were revised down by a combined 103,000. After the data release, U.S. Treasury yields and the dollar retreated, lowering market expectations for a rate hike in September. Short-term interest rate pressures eased, but if employment continues to deteriorate, the market may shift to trading in weaker economic growth.
Progress has been made in Middle East negotiations, with Brent crude falling back to around $81.79. The drop in oil prices temporarily eases inflationary pressures; If the situation reverses and oil prices rise rapidly again, it will weaken the positive interest rate side.
Next, let's focus on the main focus
ETFs have flowed in for four consecutive days, addresses with over 100 BTC are increasing, but stablecoins only increased by $506 million in seven days. If stablecoin weekly growth expands significantly and ETFs continue to flow in, then institutional funds and on-chain dollar liquidity will truly resonate; If ETFs weaken and stablecoins contract again, the current improvement will be discounted.
Additionally, increments above 100 BTC mainly come from 100–1,000 BTC, while those above 1,000 BTC are still decreasing. If in future consecutive snapshots, the amount above 1,000 BTC also continues to increase, it will be closer to true large-scale token concentration.

#DailyOrbit For BTC, focus on speed and tone first, not just popular rankings
OKX Onchain OS recorded 46 mentions of BTC in one hour at 20:00 on August 7 (China time), including 36 times on X and 10 times in the news.
Compared to the 24-hour average, this round is 0.83 times faster, indicating a "slowdown"; The tone is 30% bullish and 17% bearish. There's no need to force the same conclusion between the two lines: whether the buzz answers how many people are talking, or which tone the text leans on, neither can directly replace sales or cash flow.
If the speed, news sources, and actual market transactions continue in the next round, confidence in judgment will be further boosted; If it returns to the mean quickly, this change will resemble short window noise.📊 $ZEC Contract Liquidation Express (August 8)
According to liquidation data, this wave of short positions was frantically crushed by the Dog Traders...
Time: Total liquidation, long liquidation, short liquidation
1 hour: $18,700 $1,988.33 $16,700
4 hours: $485,000, $14,300, $470,600
12 hours: $708,500, $105,900, $602,600
24 hours: $1,279,600 $247,800 $1,031,800
From $ZEC's liquidation data, 1-hour short liquidations crushed the bulls, with shorts outnumbering bulls by 8.4 times, and the short squeeze was fierce right from the start; the 4-hour short advantage further expanded to about 33 times, with a full-scale short squeeze explosion; 12-hour bears still led by a wide margin, about 5.7 times, with short squeezes running through the short to medium cycle; 24-hour short liquidations soared to $1.03 million, 4.16 times the bears' total. Dog Farm completed a full-cycle slaughter of shorts on ZEC—short, medium, and long-term shorts were targeted and destroyed from all angles, with cumulative liquidations exceeding $1.27 million. Bears are bleeding like rivers, and short squeezes are unstoppable. Everyone control their positions and don't get caught in buying and selling.
🔥 Market Weather Vane | August 8
Today's three hot topics point to the same theme: the market has entered a stage of "fully loaded expectations, flaws must be eliminated"—"exceeding expectations" is just the passing line, and any signal of slowing growth will be amplified.
💾 Storage stocks plunged after earnings reports: the more explosive the earnings, the harder the drops fell
SanDisk delivered a "legendary" financial report: Q4 revenue was $8.965 billion, a year-on-year surge of 372%; Western Digital reported $3.747 billion in revenue during the same period. SK Hynix's Q2 revenue was 79.32 trillion KRW, a year-on-year surge of 557%.
However, SanDisk's stock plunged nearly 8% after hours. The culprit is the guidance—next quarter's median revenue is $10.55 billion, below the market expectation of $10.82 billion. The market's pricing logic for storage stocks has shifted from "good performance" to "whether growth is fast enough."
Is the AI memory bull market stable? UBS forecasts total storage industry revenue to reach $992 billion in 2026 and nearly double to $1.76 trillion by 2027, with HBM as the core driving force. But short-term corrections are equally real—as of the end of July, leading AI storage companies had an average drawdown of about 40%; In July, SK Hynix's Korean stock market saw a maximum drawdown of 54%, Samsung Electronics 42%, and SanDisk plunged 47% in a single month. The long-term logic of the supercycle has not been broken, but valuations have already outpaced fundamentals, and any flaws will be magnified.
🏛️ Fed hawkish signals heat up: weak employment cannot suppress inflation anxiety
At the July FOMC meeting, three unanimous votes were cast against the same direction for the first time since 2016—three regional Fed chairs advocated for a 25 basis point rate hike. Voting member Kashkari even said that raising rates three times within the year is "not impossible."
Can weak employment suppress inflation? In July, ADP added only 44,000 new jobs, the weakest since January. However, wage growth remained high at 4.4%, and the ISM Services PMI price sub-index surged to 70.3, the highest in four months—"weak employment, strong prices" forms a classic stagflation signal. The market's probability of a rate hike in September remains at 54.9%.
🚀 SpaceX rebounds after unlocking restrictions: a classic scenario where all negative news is released
On August 6, SpaceX unlocked its first batch of 911.5 million restricted shares, potentially releasing a market value of about $100 billion. Previously, the market generally expected a wave of sell-offs.
As a result, the stock price did not fall but instead rose 6.14%, closing at $114.92. After Wednesday's 13.6% earnings report, the plunge had already released the pressure to lift the lock; New selling orders were effectively absorbed by bottom-fishing funds and short covering. The market played out the classic scenario of "when all the negative news is gone, good news." However, the alarm was not lifted—another 319 million shares may be unlocked on August 20, and about 700 million more are expected to be released in September.
💎 Summary
SanDisk traded 372% growth for a plunge, proving that storage stock valuations have moved ahead of fundamentals; The Fed is torn between weak employment and high inflation, with stagflation signals emerging; SpaceX played out the classic scenario of "all negative news being exhausted" by rallying against the trend on the unlocked day.

#财报观察员: After the lock-up lifts, prices rebounded—what do you think about SpaceX's future? 华尔街知名投行伯恩斯坦发布了一份新的研究报告，一口气上调了多家公司的目标股价，涉及太空探索、网络安全和传统军工三大领域。 具体调整如下 SpaceX目标价从 239美元 上调至 248美元。 Cloudflare目标价从 136美元 上调至 164美元。 洛克希德马丁目标价从 614美元 上调至 629美元。 虽然报告没有详细说明每项调整的具体理由，但结合伯恩斯坦过往的研报风格和当前市场环境，可以从行业逻辑上做一些解读。$SPCX 首先看SpaceX，这个目标价更多反映的是其股权价值的变动。SpaceX的商业价值主要依托于 Starlink星链 业务的稳定现金流。而未来估值的想象空间，则很大程度上押注在 Starship星舰 的研发进度和 AI太空应用 的潜力上。此次上调，可能意味着伯恩斯坦对星舰项目商业化时间表或星链用户增长预期更为乐观。 Cloudflare 作为云服务和网络安全公司，受益于AI算力需求带来的边缘计算和网络安全防护需求，其股价和估值在过去一年经历了显著增长。伯恩斯坦将目标价从136美元大幅上调至164美元，显示出对其在AI时代技术护城河和盈利能力的强烈看好。 洛克$SNDK SNDK hit a low of 1232 tonight, then approached the low of 1167. Three days after the earnings report, it fell from 1483 to 1232, erasing the $250 gain. The profits from the rebound from the 993 bottom have already been given back half.
What exactly happened?
1. After the financial report, the "positive news has been exhausted" is still being digested. The financial data is impressive, but the stock price is not buying — there are too many short-term profit-takings, rising 49% from 993 to 1483, and the bottom-level unrealized gains need to be cleared.
2. The overall pullback in the RWA sector, with SNDK, as the sector leader, bearing the brunt. The market is trading sideways near 64,000, risk appetite is shrinking, and growth stock valuations are temporarily compressed.
3. Consecutive declines over the past two days, but trading volume is shrinking—today's turnover was 2.1 billion, 500 million less than yesterday. This indicates selling pressure is decreasing, and panic selling is exhausting. The first time it hit 1167, volume increased; today, it dropped to 1232. Shrinking volume and decline are often signals of the exhaustion of bear power.
Can you still hold on now?
Wall Street targets are still there—Susquehanna raised from $3,250 to $3,500, Goldman Sachs reiterated 'Buy,' and Evercore reiterated $3,100. There is still more than 70% of the gap between the current stock price and the Wall Street average target price. The fundamentals haven't changed, but what has changed is short-term sentiment.
What should be seen from a technical perspective?
RSI 6 is 33.64, near the oversold zone, with limited short-term downside. Below, 1220-1230 is short-term support; a break below would target 1160-1170; above 1280-1300 is the first resistance; breaking above 1280 would be considered a stabilization signal.
Operational Advice:
For those with positions: Cutting losses at this level is not very meaningful; wait for a rebound of 1280-1300 before considering reducing positions.
For those who haven't boarded: wait until the station stabilizes at 1280 before reconsidering; entering from the right side is safer.
Core conclusion: In the short term, profit-taking is still being digested, but the decline is shrinking on volume + RSI 33 is close to oversold, and bearish momentum is fading. The direction remains upward, but time is needed to buy space. On the surface, ETF data this week shows three consecutive days of net inflows, totaling over $620 million.
But breaking it down, on August 5, there was a single-day inflow of 240 million yuan; on August 6, 180 million yuan; and on August 7, less than 200 million yuan.
Daily inflows are decreasing.
BlackRock IBIT accounts for the majority, while inflows from other products are almost negligible.
More importantly, the price reaction was — on August 5, ETF inflows totaled 240 million, closing at 64,000, up 1.7%. On August 6, inflows reached 180 million, closing at 64,200, up 0.3%. On August 7, inflows were less than 200 million, closing at 64,100, barely moving. The marginal effect is diminishing, and the driving force of incremental funds is weakening. The scale of Bitcoin ETFs continues to grow, with total net assets already surpassing $83 billion. But the diminishing marginal utility of incremental funds means that current price levels require greater capital inflows to drive prices higher.
BlackRock IBIT has been buying continuously, and some have been selling off spot markets consecutively, with both forces completing chip turnover near 64,000. ETF data improvement is a fact, but prices have not followed suit $BTC After the release of the nonfarm payroll data, the probability of a September rate hike at CME dropped from 70% to 40%.
The market immediately made a rally—Bitcoin hit 65,200, gold broke through $4,400, and the US dollar index plunged. And then? Bitcoin returned to 64,000.
The deep-seated contradiction in the market is: is weakening employment a "sign of cooling inflation" or the "start of a recession"? If inflation data continues to decline for the next two months, then this nonfarm payroll data is a positive signal. If inflation remains stubborn and employment data weakens, the Fed will be in a dilemma—if inflation doesn't come down, it can't cut rates, but if employment is worsening, it won't dare to raise rates. The market has already begun discussing the term "stagflation." Fed Chair Walsh's hawkish stance is clear—price stability is the top priority, employment second. As long as core inflation stays above 3%, the Fed won't easily pivot just because employment data weakens $BTC Long-term holders are increasing their holdings, while short-term holders are reducing their positions.
Addresses holding for more than 155 days increased their positions by about 140,000 BTC in the past month, while short-term holders are simultaneously reducing their holdings, causing exchange reserves to continue declining to about 2.18 million BTC.
Supply is concentrating on long-term holders, which is a typical bear market bottom accumulation pattern. Similar structures have appeared three times in the past, corresponding to bottom areas in 2015, 2018, and 2022.
But unlike the previous three times, this time prices are much higher than historical lows, and the macro environment is far more complex than before. Long-term holders are increasing their holdings, but prices haven't risen, indicating that the scale of their holdings is not large enough to offset macro pressure. Supply is concentrated, demand is waiting, and the two sides have yet to declare a winner $BTC 比特币现在的定价逻辑正在发生微妙的变化——它越来越像宏观数据的放大器，而不是独立的避险资产。
非农数据出来之前，市场安静得像暴风雨前的宁静。数据出来之后，一根针扎下去，然后又回来，振幅只有不到1%。
流动性在季节性收缩，市场参与者越来越少。大饼现价在64,000附近横着，方向没有出来，做多和做空的胜率都不高。63,800守不住就等63,000，63,000守不住就等60,000-61,000。在方向明朗之前，多看少动，现金为王。不差这几天。
$BTC 🚨 THE U.S. JUST LOST JOBS… AND MARKETS WEREN’T READY FOR IT.
The latest NFP report came in at -23K vs. +85K expected.
That’s a massive miss — instead of adding jobs, the U.S. economy actually lost 23,000 jobs.
Here’s how I’m reading it 👇
📉 USD: Bearish
🟡 Gold: Bullish
🚀 BTC & Crypto: Potentially bullish
A weaker labor market could increase expectations for easier Fed policy and future rate cuts — generally a positive setup for risk assets.
But there’s a catch. ⚠️
A number this weak also raises the risk of a sharper economic slowdown. If markets start pricing in recession instead of rate cuts, volatility could get ugly.
So I’m not chasing the first move.
I want to see $BTC confirm the direction before making any decisions.
The market will react fast.
I’d rather react to confirmation than become exit liquidity.
Stay patient.
Let the market reveal its hand. 👀

#DailyOrbit 1. The underlying linkage logic in the crypto world: Crypto assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum are now highly tied to US growth stocks, Nasdaq, and US dollar liquidity expectations. Nonfarm payrolls weaken unexpectedly → Market bets on Fed to cut rates earlier and more broadly 2. Rate cut expectations rise→ US dollar weakens, market funds increase in future → Risk asset valuations (stocks, currencies) rise 3. Conversely, if employment is overheated and the Fed wants to maintain high interest rates, it will continue to suppress the price of cryptocurrencies. In short: expectations of Fed rate cuts are the biggest macro theme affecting the crypto world this round. 2. Breakdown of Impact Weights 1. Nonfarm payrolls declined (biggest positive factor). The market originally expected 80,000 new jobs, but ended up with a decrease of 23,000, indicating a clear economic cooldown. Traders will immediately trade the phrase "The Fed must cut rates early to save the economy," which is positive for overall bullish sentiment in the crypto market. 2. Wage data sharply declines (second major positive) Wages are the most important indicator of sticky inflation in the US; if wages don't rise, inflation is hard to rebound. It dismissed the Fed's justification of "keeping rates high for a long time to fight inflation," further strengthening the narrative of rate cuts. 3. Slight decline in unemployment rate (the only negative noise) Looking at the unemployment rate alone looks good, a small portion of capital will hesitate. But the market deals with the entire employment report and doesn't look solely at the unemployment rate. This clause has little impact and is basically overshadowed by the other three items. 3. Short-Term to Medium-to-Long-Term Market Prediction Short-term (several hours ~ 1-3 days) - Good news materializes, short-term rallies tend to start with a surge, followed by "positive news realization selling pressure" 今晚非农数据分析
CME FedWatch显示，9月加息25个基点的概率，56.7%
道琼斯调查的经济学家预计，7月非农新增8.3万人，失业率4.2%。
但两天前，ADP数据已经让市场倒吸一口凉气——7月私营部门仅新增4.4万个岗位，低于预期的7.5万，创年内最低。
就业在放缓。
CME FedWatch显示，9月加息25个基点的概率，56.7%
ADP 4.4万，创年内最低。6月非农也只有5.7万，4-5月合计下修7.4万。招聘动能肉眼可见地在放缓。
截至8月1日当周，初请失业金人数19.9万，连续第三周低于20万。企业根本没在裁员。
二季度非农劳动生产率增长1.4%，单位劳动力成本增长1.3%——工资还在涨，成本压力还在传导。

市场开始不信了。
10年期国债收益率今年以来已经涨了48个基点，到4.64%。
美联储不加息，市场自己给自己加息。
未来六周，每次CPI、PCE、非农发布，都是一场风暴。

Nonfarm payrolls -23,000, Micron surged pre-market then pulled back, followed by a sharp spike down to 874. My short positions went from a floating profit of 7000 to a floating loss, then back to break-even — a rollercoaster ride within one day.
But the logic remains unchanged: rising expectations of rate cuts ≠ guaranteed tech stock rally; the market is trading a "recession" rather than a "rate cut." The storage sector's earnings sell-off hasn't been fully digested yet, Western Digital plunged 13%, SanDisk dropped over 6%, Micron followed down but showed relative resilience, indicating some are buying in the 800-880 range, but no one is willing to push it above 900.
Positions: 70 MU short positions, cost 855.02, stop losses set in batches at 945/965/1030, targets to cover in batches at 870-820.

#MU #Micron #ShortSelling #USStocks #ContractTrading[US stocks are rising tonight, so why hasn't the crypto world moved yet?] 】
Tonight, what truly deserves attention is not a single coin, but the US stock market.
The US unexpectedly turned negative in July nonfarm payrolls, and expectations for further rate hikes by the Federal Reserve in September quickly cooled. After the data was released, US stocks opened with immediate feedback: both the Nasdaq and S&P rose.
Under normal logic:
Fed rate hike expectations have declined
→ Pressure on U.S. Treasury yields eased
→ Risk appetite for tech stocks is rebounding
→ risk assets such as BTC and ETH benefit
→ Only in the end may XRP, SOL, and other offcuts rotate.
But now there is a very interesting phenomenon:
BTC is still hovering around $64,000–$65,000, unable to rise or fall.
Meanwhile, BTC spot ETFs have not seen any net outflows this month, attracting about $754 million in the first week of August. Funds are flowing in, but prices have not yet started.
This was actually what I was most focused on tonight.
If the Nasdaq continues to strengthen tonight and BTC can break through and hold above $65,000–$66,000, I believe risk appetite in the crypto sector may reopen.
But if you see "US stocks rise, BTC doesn't," be cautious—it means the crypto sector still faces heavy selling pressure.
As for XRP, I won't blindly bottom-fish just because it drops. This week, XRP remains one of the weaker mainstream coins. For real long opportunities, I'd rather wait for BTC to chart its direction.
Tonight, my order is only one:
First, look at the Nasdaq→ then BTC →, then ETH →, and finally XRP and altcoins.
If the U.S. stock market continues to risk on, the crypto world may be missing a matchmaker.
Do you think BTC can break through 66,000 tonight, riding the wave of US stocks?
#BTC #ETH #XRP #美股 #纳斯达克 #美联储 #非农 #币圈 Here's an interesting topic: the same Shiba Inu is seen by regulators in different countries as completely different species.
The US is now the most sensitive in its stance. Last September, the first Dogecoin ETF (DOJE) was listed on Cboe; in January this year, 21Shares' TDOG also went public on NASDAQ. The joint framework of the SEC and CFTC in March directly classified it as a digital commodity. Note this logic—US regulators didn't say "Dogecoin has value," but rather said, "It doesn't constitute a security, so it's governed by the commodity rules." This is a typical American approach: not judging whether you're funny or not, just which department you belong to. The combined size of the two ETFs is only about $20 million; institutions voted against it with their wallets, but the door to entry was indeed open. It can be said that the US is the only country that has officially incorporated "jokes" into its regulatory classification system—not relaxation, but acquisition.
Japan follows a whitelist approach. The FSA strictly enforces regulations: exchanges must register, client assets must be stored in cold wallets, and tokens that can be listed must pass industry association review. $DOGE Whitelisted a few years ago, trading normally on licensed platforms like bitFlyer and Coincheck. Japanese regulators don't care whether you're a Meme; they only care about two things: whether custody is safe and whether money laundering is prevented. Once approved, everyone is treated equally; Dogecoin and Bitcoin have no difference in compliance treatment.
South Korea is even more interesting. DOGE on Upbit and Bithumb has consistently ranked among the top trading volume users for years, and with the premium coming together, Korean retail investors can pull DOGE out of its own market. South Korea's regulatory focus has always been on real-name exchange accounts and token listing reviews, with no particular hostility toward meme coins themselves, since the entire market is driven by retail investors. Banning DOGE is equivalent to going against their own trading volume.
As for China, there are no subtle differences to discuss. After the 924 Documents, all virtual currency-related business was illegal financial activity, regardless of whether it was $BTC or $DOGE, a one-size-fits-all approach, regardless of face.
So has any country relaxed regulation because of its "non-serious" nature? Strictly speaking, no. The real law is quite the opposite: the more mature the market, the less it cares about narrative and structure. Dogecoin's "joke" persona has never earned exemptions; every upgrade it receives relies on liquidity, user base, and no compliance issues. Regulators don't look at memes; regulators only look at data and risk exposure. This is probably the biggest indirect endorsement of DOGE—it's being managed as a legitimate asset.📊 $CORE Contract Liquidation Express (August 8)
According to liquidation data, in the past 24 hours, bears have been frantically rubbed against by bull traders, but the short-term market has almost come to a standstill...
Time: Total liquidation, long liquidation, short liquidation
1 hour $50.49 $50.49 $0
4 hours $50.49 $50.49 $0
12 hours $50.97 $50.97 $0
24 hours: $2,431.20 $50.97 $2,380.23
From $CORE liquidation data, the 1-hour, 4-hour, and 12-hour market is almost zero volatility, with liquidation amounts only around $50, liquidity extremely depleted, and all long positions monopolized but the scale is minimal; Within 24 hours, the direction suddenly reversed, with short liquidations crushing the bulls, whose volume was 46.7 times that of bulls, and the short squeeze market exploded across the long cycle. Dog Farm completed the switch from extremely low volatility to intense short squeezing on CORE—short-term trading was almost nonexistent, long-term bears were targeted and destroyed, with cumulative liquidations surpassing $2,400. Although the volume was very small, the direction switch was extremely decisive. Everyone should control their positions to avoid being bought back.
🔥 Market Weather Vane | August 8
Today's three hot topics point to the same theme: the market has entered a stage of "fully loaded expectations, flaws must be eliminated"—"exceeding expectations" is just the passing line, and any signal of slowing growth will be amplified.
💾 Storage stocks plunged after earnings reports: the more explosive the earnings, the harder the drops fell
SanDisk delivered a "legendary" financial report: Q4 revenue was $8.965 billion, a year-on-year surge of 372%; Western Digital reported $3.747 billion in revenue during the same period. SK Hynix's Q2 revenue was 79.32 trillion KRW, a year-on-year surge of 557%.
However, SanDisk's stock plunged nearly 8% after hours. The culprit is the guidance—next quarter's median revenue is $10.55 billion, below the market expectation of $10.82 billion. The market's pricing logic for storage stocks has shifted from "good performance" to "whether growth is fast enough."
Is the AI memory bull market stable? UBS forecasts total storage industry revenue to reach $992 billion in 2026 and nearly double to $1.76 trillion by 2027, with HBM as the core driving force. But short-term corrections are equally real—as of the end of July, leading AI storage companies had an average drawdown of about 40%; In July, SK Hynix's Korean stock market saw a maximum drawdown of 54%, Samsung Electronics 42%, and SanDisk plunged 47% in a single month. The long-term logic of the supercycle has not been broken, but valuations have already outpaced fundamentals, and any flaws will be magnified.
🏛️ Fed hawkish signals heat up: weak employment cannot suppress inflation anxiety
At the July FOMC meeting, three unanimous votes were cast against the same direction for the first time since 2016—three regional Fed chairs advocated for a 25 basis point rate hike. Voting member Kashkari even said that raising rates three times within the year is "not impossible."
Can weak employment suppress inflation? In July, ADP added only 44,000 new jobs, the weakest since January. However, wage growth remained high at 4.4%, and the ISM Services PMI price sub-index surged to 70.3, the highest in four months—"weak employment, strong prices" forms a classic stagflation signal. The market's probability of a rate hike in September remains at 54.9%.
🚀 SpaceX rebounds after unlocking restrictions: a classic scenario where all negative news is released
On August 6, SpaceX unlocked its first batch of 911.5 million restricted shares, potentially releasing a market value of about $100 billion. Previously, the market generally expected a wave of sell-offs.
As a result, the stock price did not fall but instead rose 6.14%, closing at $114.92. After Wednesday's 13.6% earnings report, the plunge had already released the pressure to lift the lock; New selling orders were effectively absorbed by bottom-fishing funds and short covering. The market played out the classic scenario of "when all the negative news is gone, good news." However, the alarm was not lifted—another 319 million shares may be unlocked on August 20, and about 700 million more are expected to be released in September.
💎 Summary
SanDisk traded 372% growth for a plunge, proving that storage stock valuations have moved ahead of fundamentals; The Fed is torn between weak employment and high inflation, with stagflation signals emerging; SpaceX played out the classic scenario of "all negative news being exhausted" by rallying against the trend on the unlocked day. When earnings beating expectations becomes standard, every point of guidance deviation is magnified infinitely—the old logic is collapsing, new pricing power is forming, and it punishes all the "not perfect" answers. #存储股财报后下挫, is the AI memory bull market still stable?

#DailyOrbit Full-market market analysis 🔥🔥🔥 of blockchain after nonfarm payroll data is implemented
Nonfarm payroll results: July nonfarm employment was **-23,000**, expected +80,000, previous value 57,000, May and June data revised down by 103,000; unemployment rate 4.1%, average hourly wage declined.
Macroeconomic reactions: The US dollar index and US Treasury yields fell rapidly; Gold surged violently; US stock futures rose, and the market sharply lowered the probability of further Fed rate hikes, fueling expectations for rate cuts.
📊 Mainstream coin market performance
1. BTC (Bitcoin).
The current price has held above 65,200, and after the data is realized, it rebounded in the short term and broke through the upper boundary of the previous convergence triangle.
- Support: 64,500, strong support at 63,800; After a breakout, the original resistance has turned into support
- Resistance: 66,000 strong resistance, then above 67,200 as the futures resistance level
- Market characteristics: Short-term bullish sentiment has opened, but trading volume has not exploded, indicating a macro-driven market, not an internal capital explosion in crypto. Be alert to a rally followed by a pullback to confirm support.
2. ETH (Ethereum).
Simultaneously strengthened, breaking above 1930, with the ETH/BTC exchange rate slightly higher.
- Support: 1900; Strong support: 1870
- Pressure: 1970-1980
With the ETH exchange rate strengthening and capital flowing outward, this is a precursor signal for the altcoin sector to recover.
3. XAUT Token Gold
Following the sharp rise of physical gold, safe-haven and risk assets rose simultaneously, reflecting a broad rally driven by expectations of liquidity easing.
4. Thematic Knockoffs (BICO, DOGE)
BICO continued to surge, riding the market dividend, with short-term overbought conditions intensifying; The DOGE meme sector followed the rebound, but its momentum was weaker than that of the AA track.
Characteristics of altcoins: The market dividend is generally rising, but there are no independent positive factors for themselves; Once BTC pulls back, the counterfeit market's drawdown will be much greater than that of mainstream coins.
🔥 A breakdown of the core market logic
1. This nonfarm payroll event was a major upset, with macro indicators clearly benefiting risk assets
Negative employment growth combined with sharp downward revisions in historical data has further loosened market pricing in the Federal Reserve's era of high interest rates, while the US dollar and Treasury yields have fallen, directly benefiting risk assets like BTC.
Minor contradiction: The unemployment rate actually dropped to 4.1%, due to a decline in labor force participation, and the market temporarily ignored this bearish detail; If the market reinterprets this indicator later, there may be a pullback.
2. Distinguish: Macro drivers ≠ crypto-native bull market
This round of rally is driven by US employment data, not crypto itself (no large ETF inflows, no major protocol upgrades).
Macro positive news is a "spark"; it depends on whether buying can continue to follow. If volume can't keep up, it's easy to break out of the pulse and surge, followed by a pullback and shakeout.
3. Changes in capital flows
- Phase One: BTC leads the rally;
- Phase Two: ETH strengthens, ETH/BTC rises;
- Stage Three: Capital overflow, AA-AI Agent and RWA hotspot clones all explode; The MEME sector is weak.
Currently, it is in the transition from the second to the third phase.
📈 Three subsequent scenario simulations
✅ An optimistic scenario
Hold the 64,500 support level, break through 66,000 with increased volume, opening up upside space; ETH has risen above 1970, signaling a period of profit-making in the altcoin sector.
⚖️ Neutral (higher probability)
After the rally, profit-taking is realized, with a pullback to confirm support in the 64,500-64,800 range, digesting short-term gains from nonfarm payrolls before choosing a direction; Cryptocurrencies will diverge, truly strong sectors will remain active, and weak coins will quickly fall back to their original levels.
❌ Risk scenarios
The market repriced the risk of declining unemployment, and US Treasury yields rebounded; BTC fell below 64,500 and returned to a range, causing rapid drops in high-level altcoins.
✅ Next, focus on the signals
1. Can BTC hold the new support at 64,500 and avoid quickly falling back to the previous consolidation range;
2. Whether the ETH/BTC exchange rate can continue to rise determines the sustainability of the altcoin market;
3. The future trend of US and Treasury yields: macro is the root of this rally;
4. Small-cap coins like BICO that have already risen sharply: focus on volume expansion; new highs without volume are the window for cashing out.
✍️ Market summary copywriting
The major upset in non-farm payrolls brought macro positive news to the crypto market, with BTC breaking out of a converging triangle range and driving the entire market to warm up.
But remember: this is a macro-driven market, not an internal capital explosion in crypto. Don't blindly chase highs.
64,500 is a new important watershed; hold it and the market will continue; If it falls below it, this wave of nonfarm dividends will quickly fade.
Knockoff is part of the market dividend market, and there will be significant divergence. High-level thematic coins still carry significant risks.
Everyone steadily advancing $BTC $ETH $BICO #Today's Bitcoin Market Summary (about 200 words)
On August 7, Bitcoin saw a slight increase, with a 24-hour increase of about 1.3%, holding above $65,200 and breaking out of its recent sideways consolidation pattern. The main driver of this rally is the US July nonfarm payroll data falling far short of expectations. The market anticipates an increased probability of Fed rate cuts, and loose liquidity expectations provide positive support for crypto assets. Institutional funds continue to support the market, with US spot Bitcoin ETFs maintaining net inflows for four consecutive days, with cumulative inflows exceeding $76 billion, stabilizing the market base. However, short-term gains are limited, with $66,000 still a strong resistance level. Trading volume has not surged significantly, and retail investors are largely cautious. Looking ahead, if inflation data weakens further, rate cuts may help Bitcoin break through resistance; If data recovers, the market is likely to return to range-bound volatility.#联储鹰派信号升温，弱就业能否压过通胀？
现在美联储内部吵得挺厉害。一边是ADP就业数据掉到4.4万，ISM服务业就业指数也跌破50了。另一边是通胀还在3.5%以上晃荡，连续五年多没到过2%。两边在往相反方向拽。
库克是7月FOMC投了赞成票的，那场会9比3。当时还是"观察派"，但现在已经明确改口了。她说得很直白：通胀高于目标的时间越长，固化进工资和定价机制的风险就越大，在当前环境下美联储没有等待的余地。一个原来偏鸽的理事倒向鹰派，这比卡什卡利喊加息更有说服力。
威廉姆斯那边也划了条线：通胀如果回不到2%，加息是绝对适当的。卡什卡利说得更狠，年底前连续加息三次"并非不可能"。
市场现在的定价是9月加息概率55%，10月累计加息25基点概率52%，加息50基点概率17%。换句话说，市场认为9月动手的概率略大于不动。
但就业数据确实在走弱。ADP 4.4万，初请失业金人数连续三周低于20万。就业市场还有韧性，但边际上确实在降温。问题是这个降温够不够把通胀拉下来。
美联储现在真正的困境是——连续五年多没完成通胀目标，信誉在流失。沃什自己也承认沟通有失误。一个刚上任就面临信誉危机的主席，面对3.5%以上的通胀，很难轻易松口说"再等等"。
如果下周CPI数据再次超预期，9月加息可能就从55%变成板上钉钉了。如果CPI符合预期甚至低于预期，就业数据可能会重新获得一些话语权。但在这个关口，押注美联储会因为一份ADP数据就放弃加息，概率不大。通胀连续五年超标带来的政治压力，比一份弱就业数据的分量重得多。美股Shopify SHOP 股价跳空高开后一路狂飙，单日暴涨 17.0%，成交量急剧放大，领跑整个互联网电商与软件板块。

#联储鹰派信号升温，弱就业能否压过通胀？ $SPCX
Yesterday's performance exceeded expectations, opening at 107.09, low 105.11, high 115.75, and closing at 114.92, up 6.14%. Total turnover for the day was 255 million shares, about 2.17 times the 65-day average, and the close was at 92% of the day's amplitude. This is a pretty standard case of "buying temporarily winning after massive turnover."
This trend confirmed several previous major speculations:
1. The unlocking negative news has indeed been traded in advance
2. Obtaining the right to sell does not mean immediate sale
3. The credibility of the stage bottom near 105 has significantly improved
More importantly, yesterday they timely released news about building a Terafab chip factory in Texas to support the market, and today there will be a Grok 4.6 release. Previous speculation about Musk's intention to manage market value and use narrative to support fragile fundamentals has been confirmed.
Terafab is very likely to quickly complete land and factory construction to support the narrative, but the yield rate and stable output will be repeatedly delayed according to Musk's usual behavior.
Meanwhile, Trump's midterm elections are about to officially begin, and Musk will once again fund the campaign. During this period, it would be expected that some interest exchanges to secure major orders from the Department of Defense, and even the upcoming Tesla and SpaceX mergers will likely be greenlit. Trump also needs pre-election headlines like "Space Orders, American Jobs" to boost his campaign.
Next, let's look at several ranges:
112—115: If it can hold for the next two or three trading days, it means the unlocking selling pressure has indeed been effectively absorbed.
120: Only by closing above 120 can the area around 105 be officially upgraded to a stage bottom, and the trend will recover from 'negative news has exhausted the rebound.'
125–130: This is the pre-release zone and the area where many trapped positions are trapped before the earnings report. Only after a breakout and holding hold does it indicate that active funds are starting to continue flowing back.
110: If it quickly falls below 110 and high volume persists, then 114.92 may just be a one-day rebound driven by short covering and Terafab news. Employment data came in below expectations. Now we can breathe a sigh of relief
The US dollar has plunged. Gold and silver have risen.
US stocks also pulled back quickly.
The reason is simple:
Bad data = reduced pressure to cut rates.
But there is a problem here.
Poor employment is not always a good thing.
If the market starts trading in the future, the economy slows down. #Fed's hawkish signals heat up, can weak employment beat inflation? , the logic will change.
Currently, this rebound is more driven by a weaker dollar.
Not driven by improved corporate earnings.
So don't change your judgment just because you see the first bullish candlestick.
Next, let's look at two things:
Can the Nasdaq hold its ground?
Is the trading volume keeping up?
A real trend reversal is not determined by a single candlestick.Looking at today's market, the market still leans more toward "selective liquidity" rather than widespread cash throwing. BTC is around $65,186, ETH about $1,625, and SOL is about $77.97; Meanwhile, CoinDesk observed that over the past month, altcoin OI dropped by about 15%, while BTC actually rose by about 8%, and the Altcoin Season Index stands at 42/100. (CoinDesk)
What does this indicate?
Not every project is getting stronger; it's just that a few assets with the most consensus have gained new liquidity first.
📉 Knockoff OI is cooling down
📊 Volume remains, but increasing positions is more cautious
🧠 Traders no longer chase every impulse, but instead wait for confirmation, relative strength, and higher confidence patterns
🟢 Assets that still attract capital are usually these types:
$BTC — The largest liquid magnet
$ETH — The core asset that institutions find easiest to target
$SOL — High Beta main storyline
$DOGE / $WLD / $HYPE — thermometers of mood and risk appetite
🔴 Those still struggling are often those small- and mid-cap counterfeit brands without narrative, transactions, or relative strength
The biggest focus of this market is not guessing when the next big bullish candlestick will come, but clearly seeing where the money is flowing.
The more selective the market, the more important relative strength becomes.
Don't chase every green candle; just follow the direction of the funds.① SK海力士（000660.KS） 当前行情——高开后转跌： 8月7日，韩国股市冲高回落。韩国KOSPI指数早盘开于6,365.07点，一度涨近2%，随后转跌，收盘下跌0.6%报6,258.71点。SK海力士开盘上涨1.74%，但开盘不到20分钟便由涨转跌。收盘下跌4.88%。盘中一度跌超5%。KOSPI指数本周跌超5%，连续第七周下跌。 下跌驱动： 美股存储芯片疲弱传导。 闪迪和西部数据因财报指引不及预期而重挫，全球存储芯片板块情绪恶化直接拖累SK海力士。 外资持续流出。 受外国投资者持续净卖出影响，韩国股市持续承压。 高贝塔特性。 SK海力士营收全部集中在DRAM和NAND闪存，对半导体行业景气的敏感度远高于多元化的三星电子，在本轮存储调整中跌幅更为剧烈。 大盘背景： 韩国KOSPI指数本周跌超5%，创2022年12月以来最长周线连跌纪录。 小结： SK海力士今日经历了“高开→转跌→跌幅扩大”的走势，全球存储芯片板块情绪恶化和外资流出是核心驱动因素。纯存储业务的高贝塔特性使其跌幅（-4.88%）远超三星电子（+0.22%）。短期能否企稳取决于美股存储板块能否止跌以及外资流向的变化Today, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics will release July nonfarm payroll data, with the market expecting about 80,000 to 97,000 new jobs, and the unemployment rate forecast remaining at 4.2%.
Last month (June) only added 57,000 new units, far below the expected 115,000, which was a surprise.
Currently, BTC is fluctuating around $64,000, having been consolidating in the $58,000-$67,000 range for a full two months, while ETH is near $1,900, showing a relatively strong structure.
This nonfarm payroll data is a key catalyst for the short-term market.
For BTC, the resistance zone between 65,000 and 67,000 is a necessary breakthrough, while for ETH, 1,950 to 2,000 is the short-term ceiling.
Volatility will increase before and after data releases, so it's recommended to control your position size and avoid betting heavily on direction. # In the previous hour, total market volume had just surged +77%, breaking through 65,000; in this hour, volume dropped by -69.5%—BTC was still at $65, 208, 24h +1.22%. The price withdrew before volume dropped; this breakout lasted less than an hour before no one took over, very much like chasing a rally but being stood up.
I stared at Fear & Greed for two rounds: welded to 29 and didn't budge at all. The price rallyed, volume was released and then exited, but retail investors' fear didn't diminish at all—this shows that the investors entered the market after being trapped and using volume to escape, not new money buying at the bottom.
The worst is contract divergence: funding dropped from +0.0070% to +0.0061% (bulls cooling off), but OI climbed to 107,000 BTC (leverage still piling up). Spot withdrawal, contract support — this "no volume held by leverage" structure is easier to crack with a single needle than an open drop.
$BICO last round -6.9%, this round +8.1%, and 24h plus +41.8%—two face-pulling gains in one hour. This stock is now a trap, not an opportunity. Whoever chases is catching the knife. I even used it as a contrarian indicator last round and enjoyed it all day.
ETH is also far from quiet: the EIP-8363 staking proposal faces fierce backlash from the community, and the constant changes to staking rules are the biggest blow to long-term holding confidence. ETH holders have been feeling quite exhausted lately.
Here's a framework you can take—three characteristics of a fake breakout: (1) Volume breakout followed by a 50% drawdown > (this time -70% targeted) (2) Fear of not moving means no new money (3) Spot withdrawal + OI rise = leveraged support alone. Two out of three should be treated as a bullish incentive, not chase after a breakout.
Self-mocking time: My ADA long position is still at 0.2022, floating loss -1%. BICO long position was laughed at last round and returned to its original state, this round of bleeding +7.5%—I kept swinging back and forth like the market, but I accept the contrarian indicator.
This Wuliang is holding on with contracts for 65,000 yuan, do you dare to follow? A: I dare, I trust the leveraged bull; B: I don't dare, withdraw capital and run first; C. Lie flat and play dead. Brothers, type the letter in the comments, whatever you choose, I'll do it in reverse (manual dog head).

$BTC $BICO $ETH #OKX星球 #假突破 #缩量陷阱 #BTC关键位 #市场情绪 #爆仓预警$SNDK $MU $NVDA Concise analysis of US stock opening trends on August 7
1. Index Chart
U.S. stocks opened higher across the board on Friday, with the Dow up 0.18%, the S&P 500 up 0.35%, and the Nasdaq up 0.75%. After a sharp overnight drop, there was a technical recovery, with funds betting on expectations of nonfarm rate cuts.
2. Sector Differentiation
Tech heavyweights collectively strengthened, with Nvidia and Tesla opening up over 1%; Storage chips rebounded early, with SanDisk rising over 3% to ease yesterday's sharp decline. Energy and healthcare maintained defensive advantages, while industrial and real estate sectors followed with slight gains.
3. Market Logic
Overnight storage has digested the negative news from earnings reports, and the market is betting that weak nonfarm payroll data will drive rate cuts; At the end of the week, funds flowed back into growth tracks, and previously oversold tech stocks saw short-term bottom-fishing.
4. Short-term forecasting
There is previously trapped pressure on the market, and the sustainability of the rebound depends on evening nonfarm payroll data. The storage sector is only a short-term recovery, and the logic of the medium-term rise remains divergent.He held onto a floating loss of 520,000 yuan but still held on, while another calmly cleared his position and steadily turned a profit
The crypto rankings always unfold two completely different stories at once, and the live trading of Xiaobo and Benny_256 is the most striking contrast.
Xiaobo is always a top player on the 30-day trading volume chart, heavily investing in $LAB contract long positions, originally full of anticipation for the market.
He added positions multiple times in batches, confident that the market was upward, and never set an exit bottom line in advance. However, the market trend completely deviated from expectations, and prices continued to decline.
Currently, his floating loss on his position has reached 522,505.51 USDT, a loss ratio as high as 411%. Even facing a sharp drawdown, he still chooses to hold on, even posting openly expressing his anticipation for the coin's continued decline.
On the other side of the leaderboard, Benny_256, ranked ninth on the profit list, took a completely opposite approach.
He used 10x leverage to position $MSTR long positions, closely monitoring market fluctuations throughout. Despite multiple fluctuations in the market, he always maintained his trading rhythm and did not blindly increase positions to take on trades.
After identifying the right price level, I decisively closed all positions, earning a profit of 36,205.40 USDT, with a return rate of 18.36%.
After clearing his position, he remained calm and planned to restart the next day with a principal of 500,000, repeating the stable profit pace of the previous seven days from 500,000 to 900,000.
Both in the futures market, one person holds a heavy position and bears huge unrealized losses, while the other takes profits while the market is good and pockets steadily—these two choices lead to two different situations.
Many people are easily misled by short-term trading volume rankings, mistakenly thinking that frequent holding positions and holding trades long-term is trading ability, while overlooking that risk control is the foundation of long-term trading.
Blindly confronting the opposite market will only amplify your book losses; Only by knowing when to take profits, clearing positions, and replanning can you keep your principal continuously.
I want to ask everyone: when faced with a large loss on your position, would you choose to exit promptly to cut losses, or continue holding like Xiao Bo and wait for the market to reverse?Are American retail investors not buying the dip anymore?! Selling .......
Over the past two years, there has been a tried-and-true rule among U.S. tech stocks:
Down 5%, retail investors entered to bottom-fish;
Down 10%, capital poured in even more than once;
Down 20%, 3x leveraged ETFs went all in and went all in.
Every drop automatically generates new buying opportunities, like a built-in cushion for declines.
But this time, that iron rule was broken...
1. It took only one month to go from "buying more as prices fall" to "historically crashing the market."
In less than a month, retail investors have switched from "frantically buying in" to "historic-level dumping"—this is the most vigilant micro signal in this round of tech stock declines.
Retail trading data tracked by Citadel Securities shows:
U.S. retail investors have net sold stocks for four consecutive trading days, setting a record for the longest selling streak this year;
Tech stocks saw a weekly net sell-off of nearly $7 billion, 80% higher than the previous weekly record;
Of the three days with the largest single-day tech sell-offs by retail investors in U.S. history, two of them happened last week.
Selling was precisely focused on semiconductors, AI, and storage sectors—sectors where retail investors bought the most, leveraged the most, and rose the most in May and June.
The average daily retail selling volume of these stocks has already surged to more than five times the previous record.
On one side are the "bottom-fishing main force" who used to buy more as prices fall; on the other is the "selling force" who is selling more as prices fall. The same group has completely reversed their behavior.
2. Mechanism Reversal: From a "Downward Buffer" to a "Downward Accelerator"
The previous downward cycle was a natural bottom-support mechanism:
Stock prices fall → retail investors bottom-fish → leveraged ETFs increase positions simultaneously → market makers hedge for price support → the decline automatically stops
The lower it falls, the more buying interest there is, indicating a stable market situation.
The current downward cycle is an out-of-control stampede mechanism:
Stock price declines → Margin account floating losses and liquidated positions → ETF net value shrinks rapidly → Retail investors passive stop-losses/forced liquidations → Concentrated selling further suppresses the stock price
The lower it falls, the more there are sellers, and the decline becomes fiercer.
The same amount of money has completely transformed from a rally accelerator during a rise into a crash accelerator during a decline.
This is also the root cause of the recent unusual semiconductor trends:
Even though the valuation has dropped 30%, 40%, or even 50%, and valuations seem reasonable, even a slight rebound triggers massive sell orders immediately.
Because what the market is digesting now is not valuation, but leveraged positions piled up to the peak earlier.
3. Leverage backlash: The crazier the rise, the more brutal the fall
The tech stock market in recent months was essentially a retail investor leverage frenzy.
Goldman Sachs' retail investor preference stock portfolio has risen nearly 36% in just two months.
With the profit-making effect, leverage snowballs up and higher: margin financing for stock trading, increasing holdings in SOXL triple ETFs, using options to add another layer of leverage......
U.S. margin financing and securities lending debt once surged to $1.53 trillion, setting a new historical high.
Many people are not "holding stocks" but are overdrawing future cash flow, betting that the trend will keep rising.
When prices rise, this is a perfect positive feedback: the faster the increase, the higher the account net value, the more leverage you can leverage, and the stronger the buying interest.
But once the trend reverses, positive feedback immediately turns into a more damaging negative feedback.
So far, the scale of technology-based leveraged ETFs has shrunk by $50-60 billion compared to the June peak, with some semiconductor leveraged products being cut in half.
Most of the money in this was not "smart money for precise escape," but rather losses that could no longer bear the risk and forced to deleverage, forcing a forced exit in reluctance.
So now, it's pointless to monitor retail investor sentiment. What really matters is: how far has this deleveraging avalanche gone?
4. Biggest misconception: Retail investors cutting losses ≠ doesn't mean bottoming out immediately
Many people say: retail investors have sold record-breaking stocks, so it's definitely bottomed out.
This is the most dangerous misjudgment at present.
First, it's important to clarify: collective retail selling is never a top signal.
At the true top, everyone firmly believes that "a drop is a bottom-fishing opportunity," and no one wants to sell;
Only when the market has already doubted the logic of the rise will large-scale panic selling occur.
From this perspective, tech stocks are indeed healthier than two months ago—crowded positions are being cleared, bubble leverage is being digested, and the most aggressive funds are exiting.
This is the necessary path to bottoming, but it does not mean bottoming out.
The core differences must be clearly distinguished:
The start of a clearing and the completion of the clearing are two completely different things.
For the market to truly bottom out, two steps must be taken simultaneously:
(1) Old funds trapped in the market are completely unsellable;
(2) Long-term new funds are willing to actively take over.
Now we have only seen the first step: retail investors stopping losses, ETF shrinkage, margin buying pullback, and record-high selling.
But for the second step, there has been no clear signal so far:
Have long-term funds like pensions, sovereign wealth funds, and mutual funds been continuously entering the market?
Has semiconductor ETFs returned to stable net inflows?
Is the rebound volume a short cover, or is it real long-term position-building?
The answers to these questions determine whether we are at the bottom or a breather in the middle of the decline.
The collective surrender of retail investors only means we are close to the bottom range.
The real bottom is never the last day retail investors cut their losses, but rather the day after all passive selling is finished, when someone is still willing to take full hold.
5. Futures Core: Wait for new marginal buyers to emerge
Over the past two months, the logic of tech stocks has been: can incremental retail funds still flow in?
The logic behind the next rally is: who will take on the massive sell-off.
The complete reversal of retail investors' trading logic means that the most important support force in this round of AI market has been eliminated.
The next round of sustained gains will have to wait until new marginal buyers emerge.
In the short term, don't worry about a few cents in a single company's financial report; what you really need to watch are two signals:
When selling pressure is completely exhausted, long-term funds will truly flow back.

The scariest thing about the market has never been a decline, but the hand that once held the market up has turned into a market smasher
#存储股财报后下挫, is the AI memory bull market still stable?
$AAPL $SNDK $MU Dehydrated all-day market data, strip away market noise, and focus only on the core information that truly influences capital flows. 👇 🌍 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ In a nutshell: US July nonfarm payroll data was far below expectations, prompting the market to re-trade expectations for a September rate cut. BTC broke through 65,000, US stock index futures strengthened, and global risk assets are expected to see liquidity recovery. But the core of market trading is not "economic deterioration," but rather "cooling employment, but inflationary pressures are temporarily under control." This is exactly the favorite combination of risk assets. 🪙 Crypto | BTC breaks through 65,000, rate cut trading officially begins After the non-farm payroll announcement, BTC surged rapidly. The price has risen from around 64,300, breaking through 65,000, currently trading in the 65,200-65,500 range. The logic behind this round of increases mainly comes from three aspects: (1) Improved macro liquidity expectations Nonfarm payrolls turned negative, significantly below market expectations. The market quickly raised expectations for a rate cut in September, putting pressure on the US dollar, and liquidity-sensitive assets reacted first. BTC and Nasdaq futures rose in tandem, continuing to reflect the linkage between crypto assets and tech growth assets. (2) ETF funds rebound After consecutive outflows, BTC ETF funds turned into net inflows again. Institutional funds have returned to the buying side, and the market's biggest short-term pressure is easing. (3) On-chain structure continues to improve: BTC balances on exchanges remain low, and long-term holdings continue to increase. Funding rates remain moderate, with no significant signsSK Hynix invests 54.3 trillion KRW to expand memory production capacity
According to the latest board resolution, SK Hynix has finalized investments in two major factories: 19.1 trillion KRW (approximately $13.8 billion) for the Cheongju M17 project, and 35.2 trillion KRW for Yongin Phase 2, totaling an investment of 54.3 trillion KRW.
The Cheongju M17 factory will focus on NAND flash memory, covering storage needs for PCs, servers, and AI data centers. Construction will start in February 2027, with the first cleanroom expected to be operational by December 2028. Yongin Phase 2 will concentrate on advanced DRAM and high-end HBM memory, with the first cleanroom anticipated to be completed in 2029.
This massive expansion plan signals the company's judgment that the tight AI storage supply situation will continue. However, the long cycle from groundbreaking to mass production means that a large amount of new supply will not be released in the short term.
From a stock price perspective, this is a medium- to long-term positive, but it is unlikely to stimulate short-term market movement. The current market focus is not on the expansion itself but on two core issues: whether HBM4 orders and high prices can be sustained, and whether the huge capital expenditure will squeeze shareholder returns. Coupled with the semiconductor sector currently undergoing a correction, a simple expansion announcement is unlikely to directly boost the stock price.

Nonfarm payrolls turning negative: Why might optical modules benefit more than storage?
In July, the U.S. nonfarm payrolls directly decreased by 23,000, while the market had expected an increase of about 80,000. What's even more troublesome is that in May, the number was lowered from 129,000 to 63,000, and in June, from 57,000 to 20,000—a total of 103,000 fewer jobs over two months.
After the data was released, the market's first reaction was not to dump tech stocks, but to the Nasdaq futures clearly strengthening. The reason is simple: employment is already weak enough to dampen rate hike expectations, but not so weak that the market is in a full-blown trading recession.
After the non-farm payroll release, the market's probability of a rate hike in September dropped sharply from about 55% to around 20%, and the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield also fell from about 4.67% to 4.60%.
This is a very direct relief for AI hardware recently suppressed by high interest rates.
Optical modules: This non-farm payroll is actually a relatively clean positive factor
I think today's macro data will be more obvious to companies like $Applied Optoelectronics (AAOI), $Lumentum (LITE), and $Coherent (COHR)$ optical module companies.
The core logic of optical modules right now is still the AI data center CapEx.
Microsoft, Meta, Google, and Amazon won't immediately cancel 800G, 1.6T optical modules, and AI cluster construction just because the US hires tens of thousands less in a month. What truly affects the short-term valuations of these stocks is actually U.S. Treasury yields.
Falling yields mean that discounting pressure on high-valuation growth stocks is easing; Meanwhile, as long as Mag 7 does not start cutting AI CapEx, the order logic for optical modules remains largely unchanged.
So today's lineup is actually very comfortable:
AI CapEx is not bad + rate hike expectations are declining + US Treasury yields are falling.
Coupled with recent U.S. policy expectations restricting China's new optical modules from entering the U.S. market, AAOI, LITE, and COHR themselves have a layer of supply chain redistribution logic.
Therefore, if the market continues to trade "bad news is good news," I believe optical modules will be the most flexible direction within semiconductors.
Storage: Also positive, but it can't solve all problems
For $SanDisk (SNDK)$, $Micron (MU)$, $Western Digital (WDC)$, and $Seagate (STX)$, the nonfarm payrolls are also favorable, but their logic is not as clean as that of optical modules.
The most direct benefit is still the interest rate.
With U.S. Treasury yields falling and Nasdaq risk appetite rebounding, high-beta semiconductors will naturally benefit. Especially after a recent round of sharp valuation cuts in storage stocks, the reduction in macro pressure at least reduces the risk of further rate sell-offs.
But storage now has its own issues.
SNDK's recently released financial report is the clearest example: strong earnings, but next quarter revenue guidance is about $10.7 billion, below the market's previous expectation of about $11.2 billion.
Therefore, the nonfarm payrolls can improve SNDK's valuation environment, but they cannot turn lower-than-expected guidance into above-expected guidance.
What truly determines storage stock prices going forward will still be NAND and DRAM prices, data center SSD demand, cloud vendor orders, and the next round of guidance.
What really needs to be worried is the next stage
Although this nonfarm payroll is negative, it cannot yet be directly interpreted as a U.S. recession.
Government employment decreased by about 53,000 in July, with the seasonal adjustment in education being more pronounced; the private sector actually saw an increase of about 30,000. The unemployment rate even fell from 4.2% to 4.1%, although a large part was due to labor force exits.
So the current market is still available for trading:
Weakening employment → The Fed is hesitant to raise interest rates→ Interest rates fall→ AI stocks rise.
This is currently the most favorable phase for optical modules and storage.
But if nonfarm payrolls continue to decline and unemployment starts rising rapidly in the coming months, the logic becomes:
Worsening employment → recession→ declining corporate earnings→ AI CapEx may be re-examined.
By then, both optical modules and storage will face pressure.
So my judgment is clear:
In the short term, this nonfarm payroll report is positive for AI hardware, and the benefits of optical modules may be greater than those of storage.
Optical modules are currently mainly trading "AI CapEx + interest rate declines"; Storage still needs to digest its own earnings reports, guidance, and price cycles simultaneously.
As long as the market hasn't shifted from "rate cut/stop rate hike trading" to "recession trading," highly elastic AI infrastructure stocks like $AAOI, $LITE, and $COHR are theoretically more comfortable than storage stocks like SNDK and WDC, which have just undergone earnings tests.盘面拆解：沉寂许久，RIVER出现资金异动
沉寂很长一段时间之后，这枚币种迎来主力资金的动作，不少人打算顺势进场博弈，这里梳理下背后的真实盘面逻辑。
①缺少外部利好加持：近两周没有头部交易所上新，也没有重磅消息释放，行情完全是存量筹码博弈驱动。
②筹码高度集中：前十地址掌握89%的代币供给，单一头部钱包就占据62.9%份额，盘面价格很大程度由少数主体主导。
③成交结构暗藏疑点：市场呈现超买状态，绝大多数交易发生在中心化平台。24小时整体成交规模在110‑120万区间，而实际净流入仅仅3.8万。买入61.3万，卖出57.5万。这一轮接近29%的涨幅，来源于流动性匮乏带来的杠杆撬动，并非大批量场外资金进场。
结合现状推测，现阶段更偏向拉升吸引市场注意力，还没到大规模派发的阶段。该项目做市运作经验充足，会借助合约资金费率辅助推高行情。当下平台资金费率维持正向，等到价格进一步冲高，费率翻转为负值，才会迎来波动最激烈的阶段。$BTC and $ETH were pushing ahead of US stocks today, and their resistance was unusual—more like a test, not a safety signal.
Look at the numbers
$BTC 65,133 +1.40% $ETH 1,927 +1.41%
$QQQ -0.37% $SPY -0.16% $IBIT -0.68%
$DXY -0.46% $GLD +0.01%
US Treasuries and Fed expectations continue to suppress valuations, and $QQQ here doesn't dare to run freely. The exchange rate line is also restless; $DXY move, the whole market has to shake along with it. AI and semiconductors are still sentiment switches, and $QQQ's lifeline is in their hands.
Money is clearly shrinking into defense, $QQQ looks weak. $IBIT is weaker than $BTC; when ETFs weaken, it's like spot buying isn't that strong. $ETH is actually more elastic than $BTC, and risk appetite for small coins quietly rises. $DXY breathes a sigh of relief, and risk assets can barely catch their breath. $GLD is still rising, and safe-haven funds haven't fully withdrawn.

The entire market is no longer paying attention to Bitcoin, and there is no good news about crypto right now. Everyone is trading US stocks, doing SanDisk, Micron
So now is exactly the time to focus on Bitcoin
Buy when no one is interested, sell when the crowds are bustling $BTC 非农数据大幅低于预期，市场预期新增8万人，结果非但没有增长，还减少了2.3万人。这一正一负，差值超过十万。失业率反而小幅回落，并没有走高。但这并不是就业行情转好，而是劳动力参与人数下降造成的。利好已经落地，冲高阶段，短线朋友可以适当减仓，不要追高，等待回踩确认支撑再进场。
失业率 4.1%（预期4.2%）失业率没涨反降。
市场现在的核心逻辑： 这种极其拉胯的就业数据，等于把美联储架在火上烤。市场现在不担心衰退，而是狂赌美联储9月必须降息，甚至可能直接降50个基点大放水！ 这就是为什么数据出来，大饼不仅没跌，反而往上冲到了65100以上的原因——大家都在抢跑流动性宽松的预期。
结合当前盘面65129左右的位置
目前这个价格，刚好突破了之前我们一直强调的日线生命线EMA55，约64830
日线和4小时图的MACD红柱都在放大，说明刚才那一波拉升是有真金白银进场的，大方向已经站住了脚跟。
接下来行情的预测与交易策略
短期行情推演
今晚很可能是一个“冲高回落震荡”的剧本。
数据刚公布时，散户跟风买入，把价格推到了最高65350附近。但要注意，上方压力重重下一个压力在65435，再往上就是66928的前高。主力大概率不会在周五晚上一口气直接拉爆，反而可能会借机洗盘。
具体操作建议：
1. 千万别在 65300 以上追高 刚才已经冲过一波了，现在进去很容易变成给主力接盘。宁可错过第一波，也绝不追涨。
2. 看准回踩位再动手 既然65000已经站稳，回踩 64800 - 65000 就是绝佳的上车机会。如果1小时图在这个位置跌不下去，收了长下影线，那才是最安全、最舒服的进场点。
3. 防守底线要死死守住： 不管你是在哪儿进的，止损必须放在 64000 下方。如果在这个数据和利好的加持下，大饼还能砸穿64000，那说明市场内部有更大的毛病，必须无条件先跑路。
4. 注意风险： 今晚美股开盘肯定会剧烈波动，如果美股因为“经济衰退”大跌，大饼可能会被带下来一些，轻仓度过最稳妥 一句话总结：美国岗位意外减少，工资涨幅放缓，美联储被迫降息的概率暴涨，中长线对币圈是利好！ 一、 三句话看懂这份非农报告 * 美国岗位不增反减，企业招不动人了 原本市场预测 7 月能新增 8 万个工作岗位，结果不仅没增加，反而直接少了 2.3 万个。这说明高利率压制下，美国企业生意不好做，招聘严重枯竭。 * 工人工资涨不动了，通胀威胁彻底解除 工人的时薪环比只上涨了 0.1%（低于预期的 0.3%）。工资涨得慢，大家消费就会收敛，物价就不会飞涨。这意味着美联储最担心的“通胀反弹”风险已经不复存在。 * 失业率小幅降至 4.1% 失业率虽然稍微好看了一点点，但掩盖不了私营企业招聘枯竭、经济放缓的事实。 二、 究竟是利好还是利空？ 结论：中长线属于强利好，短线属于高波动洗盘。 * 为什么中长线是大利好？（资金面驱动） 美联储有两个核心任务：一是防通胀，二是保就业。以前不降息是怕通胀复发；现在通胀控制住了，但就业和经济衰退的风险猛增。美联储为了防止经济硬着陆，只能被迫选择降息放水。水龙头一旦打开，资本市场的钱就会变多，对 BTC 和 ETH 这种风险资"One report tonight could decide whether the Fed stays patient—or brings rate hikes back into the conversation."
📌 US July Non-Farm Payrolls (8:30 PM Beijing time): Why tonight's data matters for crypto and global markets
Markets expect the US economy to add 80,000 jobs in July, while the unemployment rate is forecast to remain at 4.2% and monthly wage growth is expected to come in at 0.3%.
At first glance, the labor market still looks stable. But beneath the surface, the cracks are becoming harder to ignore.
⚠️ The warning signs are already flashing.
Private payroll data from ADP showed just 44,000 new jobs, far below expectations of 75,000, suggesting that corporate hiring momentum is slowing much faster than economists anticipated.
Even more importantly, the labor-force participation rate has fallen to its lowest level since 2021. That means a steady unemployment rate may not actually reflect a healthy job market—it could simply mean that fewer people are actively looking for work.
🏭 Where are the jobs holding up—and where are they disappearing?
Healthcare and education continue to provide support.
Hotels and leisure businesses face seasonal weakness.
Financial firms are becoming more cautious as concerns about AI-driven job replacement grow.
🤔 Why does this matter for the Fed?
Tonight's report could reshape expectations for the rest of the year:
📈 Stronger-than-expected wages and job growth would reinforce inflation fears and revive speculation that the Federal Reserve may need to tighten policy sooner than markets expect.
📉 Weak employment numbers would strengthen the case for the Fed to remain patient and could increase expectations for future rate cuts.
For Bitcoin and the broader crypto market, this isn't just another economic release—it's a test of whether growth is slowing fast enough to outweigh inflation concerns.
At 8:30 PM, traders won't just be watching the jobs number. They'll be watching the future path of interest rates.
#DailyOrbit Expectations for rate cuts are soaring, but I advise you to hold off high-multiples long positions for now
Tonight, the nonfarm payrolls hit a massive collapse of 23,000 contractions, causing nominal global government bond yields to collapse instantly and the US dollar index to plummet. Almost at the same moment, Bitcoin drew a very conspicuous bullish candlestick above $64,000, and many people excitedly shouted, "The tap is running, the altcoin season is about to begin."
But personally, I think rushing to use high leverage to chase long positions at this juncture is very likely to be slapped back by the subsequent liquidity fluctuations.
There's a classic counterintuitive logic here.
In the cycles of financial history, bad news is often traded as good news because poor employment data can force the Fed to cut rates. But don't forget, the Fed never shifts directly from a tough rate hike cycle to an emergency bow without reason. The starting point of Fed rate cuts is often when certain key links in the real economy have begun to stall or even crack down.
Although my large position was still spot long, when the data just popped up and the market surged upward, not only did I not chase the long, but I actually closed some defensive leveraged long positions to close profits.
I chose to defend this point because I paid expensive tuition fees. In the actual evolution of historical cycles, when the Fed is truly forced into a rate-cutting channel by poor economic data, it is often accompanied by a liquidity chill in risk assets. Because the market is trading rate cuts in the first phase, the second phase quickly shifts to a trading recession that leads to corporate earnings collapse and credit contraction.
At this point, simply going long with high leverage just because "rate cuts are coming" is essentially gambling that the Fed can instantly plug the loophole in the physical market with paper reports.
Near the current $64,000 resistance level, the depth of order placements in the market remains very fragile. Tonight's rally is largely a chain reaction after short positions were liquidated, and does not mean that external incremental funds have started building large positions.
Next, I recommend focusing on one defensive indicator: the net inflow of Bitcoin spot ETFs in the first three trading days of next week. If ETF buying does not see a sudden and significant increment, tonight's rally is most likely just a bluffed twitch in a large liquidity vacuum.
#交易之声: Your experience deserves to be heard Terafab's initial $1.68 billion and SpaceX's $5 billion committed capital expenditure are severely squeezing corporate cash flow. Valuations in the U.S. tech sector are under pressure on U.S. tech sector valuations, combined with high volatility in U.S. Treasury yields, driving on-chain tokenized asset $XLITE to face liquidity premium squeezes and valuation squeeze pressure.
The market shows a divergence between the heavy assetization of the US computing power industry chain and the high premiums of on-chain tokens. US Treasury yields and the US dollar remain firm, macro liquidity struggles to support the heavy asset premium without dividend attributes, while $XLITE is chasing the concept of computing power chip autonomy, with short-term trading prices significantly deviating from the discounted cash flow support of underlying equity earnings.
The primary driving logic is the adjustment of equity asset discount rates under U.S. Treasury yield pressure; the second priority is the erosion of short-term free cash flow from the initial investment of $1.68 billion at the Terafab factory; and the third is the marginal cost reduction expected from forward computing power self-sufficiency. The high interest rate environment amplifies the capital costs of heavy asset launch cycles, directly weakening risk appetite for on-chain derivative tokens.
If U.S. Treasury yields fall in sync with the U.S. dollar index, and Tesla and SpaceX set clear timetables for implementing $5 billion in capital spending before 2030, liquidity will recover quickly. Under these conditions, the release of macro interest rate pressure, combined with the faster-than-expected realization of domestic capacity, will drive $XLITE to break through the high resistance zone and maintain valuation premiums. The signal that this scenario is failing is the continued rise in the macro discount rate.
If the US dollar remains strong, interest rates remain high, and Terafab's allocation mechanism is unclear, causing accelerated free cash flow loss in earnings reports, valuation corrections in US tech stocks will be directly transmitted to the crypto on-chain market. At this point, $XLITE will be pressured by inflated liquidity premiums, causing prices to pull back to the discount range of fundamentals. The signal that this scenario is failing is that local tax incentives and other external funding subsidies are in place beyond expectations, slowing the pace of cash outflow.
When the pace of self-developed capacity rollout far exceeds expectations, resulting in profit increases from chip manufacturing costs exceeding $1.68 billion in cash flow losses from investments, the entire phase-based bearish scenario will completely fail.
In the next 7 days, it is important to closely watch the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield trend, changes in liquidity premiums in the U.S. tech sector, and the actual impact of the Terafab project's specific rights and liability allocation and capital expenditure implementation pace on $XLITE secondary market capital flows.
