#SandiskBeatAndBuyback #CircleArcLaunch #EarningsRealityCheck On August 6th Beijing time, US-based NAND flash leader SanDisk released its Q4 financial report for fiscal year 2026. Revenue and profit for the period far exceeded market consensus expectations, but due to a conservative guidance for next quarter's results, its stock price plunged sharply after hours, which also triggered a collective correction in the US storage sector. Financial reports show that SanDisk achieved revenue of $8.97 billion in the fourth quarter, a year-on-year increase of 372% and a quarter-on-quarter increase of 51%; GAAP net profit was $6.9 billion, with a gross margin of 84.6%. AI-driven data center business became the core growth engine, and the company's board approved a $14 billion stock buyback plan, boosting confidence in its long-term value. Despite the strong performance for the period, the company provided revenue guidance for the first quarter of fiscal 2027 at $10.3–10.8 billion, which was below Wall Street institutions' expectations and directly triggered the stock price decline. The market is concerned that the slope of NAND flash memory price increases is slowing. The previously high valuations accumulated in the storage sector make it difficult to sustain growth expectations, leading to profit-taking rallies. Looking at the market, SanDisk's largest post-market drop was nearly 8%, with Micron and Western Digital weakening in tandem, further spreading sentiment to the leading Korean storage stocks. Institutional analysis points out that AI server storage demand remains resilient, but consumer demand remains weak. Coupled with changes in global supply-side expectations brought by Changxin Technology's IPO, funds have begun to reassess the sustainability of the storage supercycle. The sector will focus on tracking flash spot prices and enterprise-level order fulfillment. #闪迪财报双超预期, 14 new units were addedBTC August 6 Market Technical Analysis:
ETFs continue to flow in, short stop-losses drive the rise, and $65,000 has become a key battleground
As of August 6, 2026, Bitcoin (BTC) is currently quoted at $64,660, up 0.97% in 24 hours, with an intraday high of $64,998 before slightly pulling back. Overall, the trend remains oscillating with a strong tendency to dominate. This round of rally is mainly driven by continued institutional capital inflows, short stop-losses, and technical breakout resonance, but significant pressure remains at the top.
⸻
1. Core Market Logic
(1) ETFs continue to accumulate shares, while institutions are still positioning
Yesterday, US spot Bitcoin ETFs continued to maintain net inflows:
* Total net inflow of $244.4 million
* BlackRock IBIT saw a single-day inflow of $196.8 million
* Accounts for about 80.5% of total ETF inflows
Meanwhile, the IBIT wallet once again withdrew 5,073.95 BTC (about $327 million) from Coinbase Prime, indicating that the ETF is still undergoing physical deliveries, and institutional funds have not stopped allocation.
Conclusion:
ETFs remain the largest source of incremental capital for BTC currently.
⸻
(2) New wallets continue to build positions
In the past three hours:
Four new wallets received from Galaxy Digital and BitGo:
* 1540 BTC
* Valued at approximately $99.4 million
This indicates that professional funds are starting to build new positions.
This type of on-chain data usually leads market sentiment, indicating that large funds still favor medium- to long-term bullishness.
⸻
(3) Bears are being forced to stop losses
Previously, a whale created:
* 1600 BTC short position
* Total value approximately $102 million
After the market rebounded in the early morning:
* Stop-loss reduced position by 200 BTC
* 1400 BTC remaining
* Liquidation price increased to $64,998
Explanation:
Bears are constantly retreating their defenses.
Once it breaks through the $65,000 level again, it could trigger new short covering, forming a rapid short-term rally.
⸻
(4) The funding rate has returned to positive form
Perpetual contract funding rates on major exchanges:
+0.012%
Means:
* The number of long positions increases again
* Market sentiment has recovered to a bullish side
* The bears' dominance is starting to weaken
However, funding rates remain low and have not entered an overheated state.
⸻
2. Technical analysis
Current key price
Indicators of price technical significance
The current price of $64,660 has broken above the 50-day moving average and confirmed the pullback
Intraday high of $64,998 is the whale short position liquidation zone
First support at $64,000 closed yesterday when the price coincided with the 50-day moving average
The first resistance is at $65,500, near the upper boundary of the previous consolidation level
⸻
Daily chart structure
Currently, BTC already:
* Two consecutive days of positive growth
* Successfully climbed above the 50-day moving average (approximately $64,100)
* MACD re-formed a golden cross
Explanation:
The daily trend has started to turn bullish again.
If it can continue to hold above the 50-day moving average in the next two to three days, the effectiveness of this breakout will be further enhanced.
⸻
Hourly price movement
Current hourly chart features:
* Operating Section:
64,500~65,000 USD
* Volume increases moderately
* No significant bearish divergence has yet appeared
* Bulls still hold the initiative
In the short term:
The upward trend is not yet over, but there is still some selling pressure near $65,000.
⸻
3. Short-term trend forecast
Bullish scenario (about 60% probability)
If BTC can hold steady: $64,800
is expected to continue triggering:
* More short stop-losses
* Trend money tracking
* Sustained ETF inflows have driven this trend
Focus on the upside targets in order:
* First target: $65,500
* Second target: $66,000
If the market breaks through $65,500 with increased volume, the market is likely to enter a new upward phase.
⸻
Bearish scenario (about 40% probability)
If the price still fails to break through effectively: $65,000
a technical correction may occur.
Watch below:
* First support: $64,000
* Second support: $63,800
In addition, caution should be held against the following macro factors that may suppress risk assets:
* Volatility in U.S. tech stocks (Nasdaq previously fell 0.8%)
* Fed Hawkish Statement (Daly says further rate hikes are not ruled out if inflation rebounds)
⸻
4. Risk Warning
1. Macro liquidity risk
The market still expects some rate hikes in September (about 55%). If U.S. Treasury yields continue to rise, it could increase the opportunity cost of holding BTC, putting pressure on prices.
⸻
2. Technical False Breakout Risk
Although BTC has broken above the 50-day moving average, it is still necessary to observe the closing over the next 2–3 trading days.
If it falls below the 50-day moving average again, this breakout could turn into a false breakout and trigger short-term profit-taking.
⸻
3. Whale positioning risk
The 1400 BTC short position has not yet been closed
Its liquidation price is around $64,998
Once this area is reached, short-term volatility may increase significantly.
⸻
5. Operational Strategy
Short-term traders
* Watch the $64,200~$64,500 area for buying opportunities.
* Stop-loss reference is $63,800.
* If it breaks through $65,500 with increased volume, you can follow the trend, with a target of $66,000.
Medium-term investors
Maintain a phased layout on pullbacks, with a focus on:
* Whether ETF fund flows are continuously net inflows;
* Changes in Fed policy expectations;
* Performance of the U.S. tech sector;
* Can BTC consistently hold above the 50-day moving average?
⸻
Summary
Currently, Bitcoin is generally in a volatile and relatively strong phase, with ETFs continuously accumulating funds, institutional funds building positions, and short stop-loss positions all driving the market recovery. Technically, prices have regained the 50-day moving average, the MACD golden cross has formed, and the bulls' dominance has strengthened. In the short term, $65,000~$65,500 remains a key resistance zone. If volume breaks through, it could further challenge $66,000; If resistance is encountered multiple times, one should guard against a retracement of the direction after testing the support near $64,000. Overall, against the backdrop of resonance between capital and technical factors, the current market remains slightly bullish#Costco最新月销出炉: Net sales +10.7%, digital same-store sales soared 17.7%
Yesterday, Costco released its July sales data:
Net sales of $23.12 billion, up +10.7% year-on-year
Cumulative sales for the first 48 weeks: $273.55 billion, up +10.1% year-on-year
Same-store sales (Comp) overall +8.9%
Excluding gasoline and exchange rates, still +6.6%
Digital same-store sales +17.7%
The U.S. market performed best, with digital channels continuing double-digit growth, indicating that membership loyalty and spending power have not significantly weakened.
Now, let's look at the stock price:
Although COST has recently pulled back significantly from its May high, YTD still rose about +9%. After yesterday's sales data was released, there was slight intraday fluctuation, a slight close, and signs of stabilization appearing in after-hours. For a highly valued Costco, the market is naturally sensitive to "slowing growth," but this time core stores have maintained a healthy level, highlighting its defensive nature—in a highly uncertain macro environment, stable membership spending and high renewal rates remain scarce assets.
For long-term holders, these steady growth data are often more valuable than short-term stock price fluctuations.

#Costco #COST #美股 #零售股 #防御股#闪迪财报双超预期, an additional $14 billion repurchase authorization was added
Kim Jeong-kwan, South Korea's Minister of Trade, Industry and Energy, spoke out today (August 6). To put it bluntly: if South Korea does not accelerate chip investment, it will lose its advantage in the semiconductor industry.
He is indeed under pressure now. $SKHYNIX SK Hynix fell over 10% today, $SAMSUNG Samsung Electronics fell 6.3%, and $EWY KOSPI closed down 4.59%. This is the result of $SNDK's earnings exceeding expectations and a sharp after-hours drop, along with continued deterioration in sentiment in the storage sector.
South Korea now holds 65% of the global memory chip market, with Samsung and SK Hynix dominating. But this position is not secure. Changxin Memory's DRAM market share has reached 7%, a year-on-year surge of 716%, and Chinese manufacturers are quickly catching up. The United States and Japan are also ramping up their investments in the domestic semiconductor industry. Jin Zhengkuan also admitted that Beijing is investing significant national resources into the semiconductor industry.
He provided the data: By 2030, the global memory chip market size will grow to about $1 trillion. Speed is key—once semiconductor customers adopt a supplier's product, they rarely switch brands, so once the window of rapid demand growth is missed, it's hard to catch up.
He offered a rather practical viewpoint: "Rather than discussing how to distribute the chip industry's windfall profits, it's better to focus on helping companies reinvest their funds." To put it bluntly, don't think about how to split the money; invest it first to secure production capacity and speed.
The South Korean government has already started throwing money around. At the end of June, it was just announced that Samsung and SK Hynix would invest 800 trillion won (about 518 billion USD) in the southwest, each building two new wafer fabs. But what Kim Jeong-kwan said today shows he feels it's not fast enough. Changxin has followed the path of perfect lighting in 10 years, and its expansion speed is truly astonishing.
Jin Zhengkwan's statement today sums it up in one sentence: we've spent money, but speed isn't enough—we need to go even faster. If South Korea is slow, it may not be able to hold onto 65% of the market share. Whether the four new factories in Gwangju and Jeollanam-do can start production on schedule is likely the key to winning this race.$BTC positioning
Current liquidation imbalance is skewed toward longs.
Long liq levels: 516
Short liq levels: 262
Δ: +254 (~$7.25B aggregated over the last 5 days)
-> not extreme but starting to get more meaningful
At the same time, there are no major liquidity targets above price. The closest meaningful high-leverage liquidation level sits below us around 64.3k, while Binance Top Traders continue to increase short exposure & whale vs retail delta turns positive - often indicating a local high area
For now, the imbalance clearly favors longs being at risk. Let's see if sellers can capitalize为什么现在币圈死气沉沉（心里话）
$ETH $BTC
1. 散户被亏怕了，大批直接离场
之前好几轮行情，大量人追高、扛单、补钱，亏得很惨。很多人亏完之后直接不玩了，社群没人聊天，晒盈利截图的基本消失，连吐槽行情的人都变少。
以前行情热闹全靠散户来回交易，散户一走，盘面就没了活水。就像截图里的涨幅榜，看着有几个币大涨，但绝大多数币种一动不动，只有少数游资在玩。
2. 外面没有新钱流进来
外面的钱跑去买美债、炒美股AI板块，不愿意流进币圈。稳定币总量不见增长，市场里面的“子弹”就那么多，没有增量资金，很难走出普涨大行情 。现在只能轮流拉几个小币种脉冲一下，拉完就回落，走不出持续性行情。
3. 能炒的故事越来越少
之前DeFi、MEME、Layer2轮番炒作，现在新叙事炒一波就熄火，没有能持续带动全场的大题材。很多币种全靠解锁、抛压压制，涨一点就有筹码砸出来，反弹很难延续。就像截图里$BICO，反弹只是空单止损推上去，不是真的资金持续看好。
4. 市场变成机构控盘，少了以前的疯劲
机构大多是拿长线，不会频繁来回爆炒。现在大盘不会像以前那样暴涨暴跌，更多是长时间磨盘震荡。习惯快进快出赚快钱的交易者，就会感觉行情死气沉沉，赚不到钱。
5. 土狗、山寨套路大家都看透了
庄家拉一波就砸盘、下跌途中反弹诱骗大家充钱扛单，这套玩法见得多了，散户不再轻易追高。币种涨一点没人跟风冲，主力拉不动盘面，只能小范围脉冲，行情看着就很沉闷。
6. 合约市场后遗症
一轮又一轮爆仓清算之后，很多人不敢开高仓位。大家都观望，不敢主动开单，成交量萎缩。偶尔出现单日大涨，也只是局部行情，大部分币种还是横盘不动。
#特朗普代币遭参议员要求调查
#MSTR再卖1638枚比特币，规模腰斩 US July ADP employment increased by only 44,000, clearly showing a cooling job market. But strangely, the Fed staff have become even more hawkish—Kashkari, Cook, and Daly have all made statements that if inflation doesn't continue to improve, further rate hikes are not ruled out. Only then did the market realize: an economic slowdown does not mean monetary policy will immediately switch to easing.
The Ministry of Finance also showed no respect, maintaining the pace of government bond repurchase and bond issuance. This means the market will have to continue absorbing large amounts of Treasury bonds in the short term, long-term yields remain high, and financial conditions are tightening.
Now, global asset valuations are no longer just about whether the Fed raises interest rates. The government's massive financing demand, long-term interest rates, and market risk premiums together drive up the global cost of capital.
On the geopolitical side, Iran and Oman are close to reaching a shipping agreement on the Strait of Hormuz, but it is only a temporary arrangement; full resumption of navigation depends on US-Iran negotiations. The risk of supply disruptions has decreased somewhat, but Iran wants to gain more control over shipping lanes and fees. Uncertainties in the energy supply chain remain, and oil prices could fluctuate at any time due to repeated negotiations.
Simply put, global capital is currently facing four pressures: high capital costs, continued government bond issuance, burning AI infrastructure, and geopolitical risks in energy. Capital allocation will increasingly focus on capital efficiency and cash flow quality, while high-valuation, high-leverage assets will continue to face pressure.
On the crypto market side, ETFs saw a net inflow of 475 million yuan in the past week and a net inflow of 922 million yuan in the past month, with short-term institutional funds replenishing risk assets. But looking at the longer term, the cumulative outflow in the past quarter still reached 7.932 billion yuan, indicating that large funds remain conservative about the overall market.
So right now, the market is not experiencing a broad recovery in risk appetite, but is seeking a new pricing balance between global liquidity, long-term interest rates, and policy uncertainty. In the short term, Bitcoin is still guided by changes in dollar liquidity, global capital costs, and risk appetite. Whether ETF funds can shift from short-term replenishment to trending inflows is a key focus to watch going forward.

#SandiskBeatAndBuyback #CircleArcLaunch #EarningsRealityCheck STX (Seagate) vs WDC (Western Digital) Earnings Divergence Core Analysis
Key Conclusion:
The difference between STX and WDC is not about who has stronger demand, but stems from differences in technology roadmap, product cycle, business structure, and management guidance style.
STX relies on HAMR new technology for future growth expectations, while WDC depends on existing products to maintain current profitability.
1. Biggest Difference: HAMR Technology Roadmap
STX: HAMR Leader
Seagate is currently the fastest advancing vendor in HAMR technology, with 30TB HAMR drives already certified by leading cloud providers.
HAMR can increase hard drive capacity, reduce unit storage cost, and bring technological premium.
Due to AI data centers' growing demand for large-capacity storage, Seagate has secured more long-term orders, and management is more optimistic about the future.
WDC: HAMR Later
Western Digital's HAMR mass production timeline is relatively delayed, expected around 2027.
Currently mainly relying on mature products like Ultra-SMR and ePMR.
Advantages:
High product yield, excellent cost control, with this quarter's gross margin about 54%, higher than STX.
Shortcomings:
Lacks growth elasticity brought by next-generation technology.
Simply put:
WDC earns money now, STX bets on future growth.
2. Business Structure Differences
STX:
Almost 100% focused on HDD business.
Benefiting from AI data centers' growing demand for large-capacity storage.
Simple business structure without other cyclical businesses affecting it, so management can more easily provide positive guidance.
WDC:
Recently completed the split of HDD and NAND flash businesses.
Although beneficial for business focus in the long term, short term still affected by NAND cycle fluctuations and split transition.
Therefore, WDC's earnings guidance is more conservative.
3. Order and Pricing Power Differences
STX:
HAMR technology brings new orders.
Cloud providers lock in capacity in advance to secure future storage needs.
Long-term orders have higher certainty and also possess technology premium capability.
WDC:
Long-term contracts mainly secure existing Ultra-SMR products.
Current products have strong profitability but lack new growth space brought by HAMR.
Difference:
Short-term profitability: WDC is stronger.
Long-term technology premium: STX has the advantage.
4. Why did WDC's earnings look good but the stock price fell?
The reason is not poor performance but market expectations being raised by Seagate.
WDC:
Revenue and EPS exceeded expectations.
However, future guidance only met analyst expectations without extra surprises.
Investors originally expected WDC to also raise guidance significantly like STX, so the expectation gap caused the stock price pullback.
5. Company Comparison
STX Seagate:
Core Advantages:
HAMR technology leadership
Clear benefits from AI storage demand
High certainty of future orders
Shortcomings:
Current gross margin lower than WDC
Market has high expectations for future growth
WDC Western Digital:
Core Advantages:
Strong current profitability
Higher gross margin
Strong competitiveness of mature products
Shortcomings:
Slower HAMR progress
NAND split has transition risks
Future growth elasticity needs to wait
Summary:
STX's advantage lies in the future, WDC's advantage lies in the present.
STX gains valuation uplift relying on AI storage upgrades and HAMR technology breakthroughs.
WDC needs to wait for HAMR technology realization while relying on current product profitability support.
Key follow-up focuses:
1. Whether WDC's HAMR mass production proceeds as planned.
2. Speed of STX's HAMR shipment ratio increase.
3. Whether cloud providers' AI capital expenditure continues to grow.
4. Impact of NAND price changes on WDC.
🚨 Bitcoin could be heading toward one of its biggest governance battles in years.
In less than 3 days, a controversial proposal known as BIP-110 is expected to spark intense debate across the Bitcoin community.
Supporters of the Ordinals and Runes ecosystem argue the proposal is designed to restrict their activity on Bitcoin. They also believe it won't achieve broad consensus and could ultimately lead to a minority fork with limited adoption.
Whether that happens or not, one thing is becoming increasingly clear: the debate is no longer just about code—it's about who gets to shape Bitcoin's future.
For many builders in the Ordinals and Runes ecosystem, relying on Bitcoin maximalists to protect their interests is no longer seen as a viable strategy. Instead, they're calling for greater independence, including the development of their own Bitcoin client and the ability to evolve the network on their own terms.
The message is simple:
Don't wait for the next battle. Build your own future.
The next few days could become another defining chapter in Bitcoin's ongoing governance story.

先别只盯着谷歌换了谁。
真正值得关注的是，这次管理层调整背后，反映的是整个AI行业正在进入新的竞争阶段。
我更倾向于认为，这既是谷歌的一次主动升级，也反映出AI人才争夺正在不断加剧。
哈萨比斯转任首席科学家，把更多精力从管理事务转向AGI研究和技术路线，本质上是希望让核心科研力量回到最前线，加快下一代AI技术的发展。
但另一边，多位DeepMind元老选择创业，也让市场开始重新审视谷歌的人才稳定性。随着OpenAI、Anthropic等公司不断吸引顶级研究人员，AI行业的竞争已经不只是模型之间的竞争，更是顶尖人才之间的争夺。
在我看来，未来一家AI公司的核心竞争力，并不是单纯拥有多少算力，或者推出了多少参数更大的模型。
人才决定技术突破的高度，算力决定研发推进的速度，而产品决定技术能不能真正创造价值。
未来可能会出现一个更加有意思的格局：科技巨头依靠资金、数据和基础设施继续占据优势，而AI创业公司则凭借更灵活的组织、更快的创新速度寻找突破机会。
所以，真正决定胜负的，不是谁挖走了哪位科学家，而是谁能够持续吸引顶尖人才，把科研成果快速转化成产品，并建立长期竞争壁垒。AI大战，才刚刚进入更激烈的阶段。 🚨 Gold is making history… but Bitcoin is standing still. Why?
While gold keeps pushing toward the historic $4,200/oz mark, $BTC continues to trade sideways. At first glance, it may seem like crypto has lost momentum—but the bigger picture tells a different story.
Right now, investors are choosing safety over risk.
Gold is benefiting from geopolitical uncertainty, aggressive central bank buying, and growing expectations that the Federal Reserve could eventually shift toward easier monetary policy. At the same time, high U.S. Treasury yields and a strong U.S. dollar are limiting both gold's upside and the appetite for riskier assets.
Bitcoin, meanwhile, remains in consolidation.
The long-term story hasn't changed. Institutional adoption continues to grow, spot ETF demand remains steady, and digital assets are becoming a larger part of global portfolios. What's missing isn't conviction—it's a catalyst.
With crypto liquidity still below previous bull-market levels, many investors are waiting on key U.S. economic data, including CPI, PPI, and upcoming Federal Reserve commentary, before making bigger moves.
History offers an interesting perspective.
Gold often leads during periods of uncertainty. But when inflation cools, Treasury yields decline, and the dollar weakens, capital has historically rotated from traditional safe havens into risk assets—including $BTC and $ETH.
The next major move could depend on three questions:
• Can gold hold above $4,200/oz?
• Can $BTC break out of its range with strong volume?
• Will softer inflation, stronger ETF inflows, and a more dovish Fed reignite risk appetite?
For now, gold has the spotlight. The real question is: How much longer before Bitcoin takes it back?

#DailyOrbit #Circle财报后押注Arc，USDC能否迎来新增长？
🔥Circle刚发了Q2财报，数据看着还行，但真正的重头戏不是财报本身，而是他们All in Arc的这步棋。
先快速过一遍财报：
营收7.01亿刀，同比+7%，净利润4800万。USDC流通量733亿，市场份额27%。链上交易量1.48万亿，同比翻了1.5倍。
说实话，营收增速只有7%，放在币圈这个增速不算炸裂。但市场为啥财报后涨了16%？因为大家看的根本不是当下这7%，而是Arc主网9月16日上线之后，Circle能不能从"卖稳定币的"变成"做金融操作系统的"。
Arc是什么？简单说，Circle自己搞了一条L1公链，专门给机构做支付、外汇、资产代币化用的。几个狠点：
1. USDC当gas费。不用ETH、不用SOL，直接用USDC付手续费，机构做预算的时候不用猜今天gas多少钱。
2. 确定性最终性<1秒。交易确认了就改不了，不用等12个区块，对支付场景太重要了。
3. 可选隐私。金额可以隐藏，但地址可见，合规和保密兼顾。
最夸张的是验证者名单：BlackRock、Visa、Mastercard、DTCC、渣打、SBI...这阵容不像公链，像华尔街 consortium。BlackRock还要把BUIDL基金直接部署在Arc上，DTCC也在搞资产代币化。
另外Arc代币已经做了2.22亿预售，估值30亿，a16z、贝莱德都投了。CEO Jeremy Allaire明确说了，60%的代币会给生态资助和空投。这意味着主网上线后，Arc生态大概率有一波激励潮。
那USDC能不能迎来新增长？
我的判断是：能，但不是马上。
短期看，733亿流通量已经是个很高的基数，再往上冲需要新的场景。Arc就是这个新场景——如果Arc真能跑起来，USDC从"跨链转账工具"变成"机构金融基础设施的底层结算资产"，那流通量天花板会被彻底打开。
但风险也很现实：
- Arc主网9月才上，现在还是画饼阶段，100多个开发者听起来多，实际TVL和交易量能不能起来是另一回事。
- 利率红利在退潮。Circle以前靠储备金利息赚麻了，现在美联储降息周期，这块收入会被压缩。Arc必须尽快跑出第二曲线。
- 竞争不等人。Tether的USDT还是老大，PayPal也在推PYUSD，传统银行也在搞自己的稳定币。Arc要是不能快速形成网络效应，窗口期会过去。
一句话总结：Circle这次不是在发一个新产品，是在赌一个身份转型——从稳定币发行商变成链上金融基础设施。赌赢了，USDC的叙事就从"加密货币的美元"升级成"互联网的结算层"。赌输了，那就是一个估值过高的公链+一个增速放缓的稳定币公司。
9月16日主网上线是个关键节点，到时候看实际数据说话。现在可以先关注着，别急着FOMO。
你们觉得Arc能带USDC破圈吗？还是机构链最后都是自嗨？👇The financial reports clearly signal a divergence: although revenue fell short of expectations, profits far exceeded expectations, which is the market's real focus at this moment.
Total revenue and reserve income were $701 million, up 7% year-over-year. Although this was below Wall Street's consensus estimate of $717 million, adjusted EBITDA reached $143 million (+8% year-on-year), and net profit surged from a loss of $482.1 million in the same period last year to $48.21 million, with adjusted earnings per share of $0.18, higher than the expected $0.16—the improvement in profitability is far more significant than the slight gap in revenue.
USDC's data also points clearly: the ending circulating supply was $73.3 billion, up 19% year-on-year, but shrank 4.8% quarter-over-quarter, with market share dropping to 27%. At quarter-end, the reserve return rate was 3.5%, while average circulating supply hit a new high of $76.5 billion. On-chain transaction volume surged 151% year-on-year to $14.8 trillion—even though the total market capitalization of stablecoins across the industry has surpassed $310 billion and growth slows in 2026, Circle's leadership in on-chain settlement depth remains unshaken.
However, Arc is the true value anchor of this financial report and the absolute core of market repricing after the report.
Arc is scheduled to officially launch on the public mainnet on September 16, and over 100 institutions and ecosystem builders have already participated in private mainnet testing. The founding validator list is enough to convince any observer—BlackRock, DTCC, Galaxy, Global Payments, ICE, Mastercard, MoneyGram, SBI Group, Standard Chartered Bank, Sumitomo Corporation, Visa, and 11 Wall Street-level institutions are all included. BlackRock plans to deploy the BUIDL fund on Arc, leveraging native USDC integration to enable institutional investors to complete subscriptions, redemptions, and fund deployments within the same on-chain environment; DTCC plans to tokenize custody assets on Arc starting in the second half of 2027. The annualized transaction volume of the Circle payment network has reached $14.7 billion, a 76% month-on-month increase, with 175 financial institutions already engaged. The full-year guidance for other revenue was sharply raised from $150–$170 million to $310–$330 million, directly due to the recognition of ARC token presale revenue—all of this points to Arc no longer being a concept but an institutional-level financial infrastructure about to be implemented.
The market reaction also confirmed the certainty within the divide: after the earnings report, the stock price rose over 8% in pre-market trading, then turned nearly 3% intraday, showing a clear divide in Wall Street. Morgan Stanley has issued a "sell" rating and a target price of $38, expressing concerns about shrinking USDC circulation and pressure on trading revenue; TD Cowen gave a "buy" rating and a target price of $82. But regardless of short-term ratings, the new on-chain institutional finance track opened by Arc has already been truly recognized by the market.
For the storage sector, the launch of Arc means Wall Street has officially built a brand-new on-chain settlement and tokenization infrastructure—stablecoin settlement, asset tokenization, and institutional finance are advancing simultaneously, which is a long-term institutional boon for the crypto industry. But for pure hardware narratives like SanDisk, the propagation path is limited: storage logic is still dominated by AI demand and supply shortages, and Arc changes the settlement layer rather than the computing power layer. The short logic for SanDisk 1337 has not been shaken by Circle's earnings report, and short-term negative guidance that came in below expectations continues to ferment. Arc is a long-term narrative, SanDisk is a short-term fundamental—the two cannot be confused with trading, and this is a judgment we must affirm.
#Circle财报 #Arc主网 #机构链上金融 #存储与结算分离The 65K I watched two hours ago still hasn't surpassed it, but the bulls have already written the divergence into a clear condition: can it turn from resistance into support?
WWG believes that once $BTC rises back to 65K, liquidity above will pull the price toward 67K; Yekoi also judged that the bullish continuation pattern still exists, continuing to increase positions with a small position pyramid, while warning that Europe and the US may pull back after the opening. Unity Academy is reluctant to bet near key daily moving averages: only follow when upwards are accepted, and avoid when it falls below the moving average.
Publicly verifiable funds are slightly overflowing: Farside data shows that the US spot $BTC ETF saw a net inflow of $244.4 million in the latest day, marking three consecutive days of positive inflows. Overall judgment: Cash flow supports a rebound, but the price has not yet completed a breakout confirmation; Only continue to watch 67K after 65K turns to support; otherwise, it will still be treated as range-bound consolidation. Will you wait to hold your ground and follow the path, or wait to step back before taking the lead?
Multiple knockoff technical groups lacked official catalysts, and $HEI also exited with small profits after losing the retest and were not listed as an opportunity this round.

Bitcoin continues to trade near $64K, but on-chain data reveals a notable shift beneath the surface.
📊 Coinbase net inflows surged nearly 838% above the 30-day average, driven primarily by 3–7-year-old BTC moving back on-chain. Spending from the 3–5 year cohort alone exceeded $367M, suggesting long-dormant holders have become increasingly active.
In contrast, Binance recorded mixed inflows and outflows over the same period, indicating this wave of older coins is largely Coinbase-specific rather than a market-wide exchange trend.
⚠️ Another signal is also weakening. The NVT Golden Cross has dropped sharply, implying network activity is cooling relative to Bitcoin's price. At the same time, the Coinbase Premium has remained negative, showing that U.S. spot demand has yet to strengthen enough to absorb the incoming supply.
💡 Taken together, the data points to consolidation rather than a strong directional trend. Unless Coinbase inflows begin to normalize or the Coinbase Premium turns positive, Bitcoin may continue trading in a relatively quiet range.
#Bitcoin #BTC #Coinbase #Binance #OnChain #Crypto #Whales #NVT #MarketUpdate #BlockchainOn the day gold hit a new high, someone added a short position to 24 million
From yesterday to today, GOLD on Hyperliquid reached a high of $4,303.5, the highest since June 18, and has now returned to 4,259.3, up 2.9% in 24 hours. The spot market was even more active, with a single-day gain of 4.2%, the strongest day in five months.
Most people are debating whether to chase after it at this point. An address starting with 0x84a is doing the exact opposite.
In the past 24 hours, he opened 2,199.9 new GOLD short positions in the 4261.2 to 4300 range, with a turnover of about $9.423 million and a weighted transaction price of 4283.4. Note that at this price level, it's basically just the highest point when adding value.
What's even more interesting is that he didn't just make a move today. On August 4, while GOLD was still between 4058 and 4065, he started shorting. Then it keeps going up—if the price goes up for a while, it'll add another amount, and if it goes up again, it'll increase again. So far, he has used 7x cross-margin short positions totaling 5,799.8 lots, with a position value of about $24.699 million, an average comprehensive position price of 4,156.4 million, an overall unrealized loss of $593,000, and a liquidation price of 5,888.2.
Here's an unusual detail. Although overall losses were made, his latest round of high-level short positions has actually turned profitable, with a floating profit of about 53,000 yuan at current prices. What really dragged down the account was the batch of bottom positions on August 4. In other words, he misjudged at first, but with each subsequent increase, his position became more accurate.
This address is not a new face. Active starting July 2025, account equity about $8.183 million, historical cumulative profit of 10.5 million, has traded in crypto trading, storage, and commodity swing trading, no fixed direction, moving wherever there is volatility. Currently, he has not placed any take-profit, stop-loss, or further increase orders. Just keep it open.
On the same day, another group of people were doing similar things, just in the opposite direction. In South Korea, KOSPI closed down 4.59%, SK Hynix dropped 10.3%, and Samsung Electronics dropped 6.3%. On-chain SKHX is currently at 1061.5, down 10.6% in 24 hours. In the past four hours, five whales have opened or increased their positions, investing about 9.077 million yuan in total, all of which are currently at unrealized losses. The largest was 1073.5, with 2394.8 long positions at an average price, liquidation price 1016.8, only 4.2% below the current price.
On one hand, gold is surging and some are holding out short positions; on the other, the Korean stock market crash is causing people to line up to take the knife. Both groups are betting on mean reversion, and now both are trapped.
Meanwhile, Da Bing remained quiet, showing no signs of anger.
I've always felt that buying positions against the trend is quite divisive. It might be the dumbest move, or the most profitable one; the only difference is whether your money lasts until the day you decide to pay off. This gold short seller has over 8 million yuan on his account and more than 24 million in position, with a liquidation price of 5,800 yuan. Judging by the numbers, he can really hold on.
But being able to hold on doesn't mean you're right. What do you think will be the final outcome of this order? #Someone asked: ETH only rose 1.85% today, is it worth hyping?
As for that. Because it's not about the price that goes up, but about the 'irreplaceability' $ETH.
For example—
$SOL Like newly opened expressways: fast, cheap, with fewer traffic jams, but the bridge isn't finished yet, and toll stations are occasionally closed at night;
BNB Chain is like a mall's self-operated escalator: convenient, but if you want to move out, the property management is unhappy;
Ethereum is like the foundation of an old CBD: slow, gas a bit more expensive (now also beaten down to a few cents by L2s), but 80% of the city's banks, vaults, pawnshops, and stock exchanges are built on this land.
Behind today's 2% rise is actually three things happening simultaneously:
Spot ETFs saw net inflows for two consecutive days, with BlackRock ETHA historically reaching nearly $8.7 billion
In Q1, L2+ mainnet had 13.2 million monthly active addresses, up +86% year-on-year, with 200 million+ transactions. More and more people are using it, but fees have actually been driven down by expansion—this is a classic example of 'early internet losses just to gain attention.'
Glamsterdam / Hegota is upgrading in progress, mainnet TPS is pushing toward 10,000, and L2 data rental will eventually be recycled back to a single layer for destruction—meaning the office building rental model will need to be upgraded again
So don't just look at who rose 8% or 20% today.
Fake players compete on "who's crazier this wave," while ETH competes on "whether this building will still be there ten years from now." $ETH Currently, BTC is trading sideways around $64,000, nearly halved from last year's high, while US stocks continue to hit new highs under AI narrative. This decoupling has lasted for several months, indicating that funds are prioritizing traditional risk assets over crypto.
The temporary return of ETFs is a positive sign, but the scale is still far from enough to reverse the overall trend. Ethereum is relatively weaker, and the overall differentiation among cryptocurrencies is obvious—a few with narrative or fundamental support can still withstand the decline, while most remain under pressure.
The real key next is macro: whether the Fed will truly pivot, and whether the CLARITY Act can make substantial progress before adjournment. In the short term, the probability of continued range-bound fluctuations is high; a directional breakout requires clearer catalysts.$ETH #沉睡比特币案迎行业机构介入 Thursday, August 6 | Nonfarm Eve
Fear and Greed Index: 25 - Extreme Fear
Gold is exploding—this is a signal
Bitcoin holds above $64,000, while Ethereum returns to $1,900 (up 1.57%, leading the way again). After hitting a record high, US stocks paused for a while. But the real highlight is gold: it surged to an all-time high of $4,362. What does this mean for the crypto market? The key lies in the driving logic behind the gold surge.
Gold is betting early on rate cuts
The surge in gold was mainly driven by two factors: weakening signals from the US labor market and a weaker dollar (DXY falling below 100). Gold is the purest bet on Fed rate cuts—it is pricing in tomorrow's dovish employment data ahead of schedule. When gold surges on expectations of rate cuts and the dollar falls, this is a clear signal that macro liquidity is shifting to easing.
This is precisely the macro backdrop of the crypto market's long-awaited wait, and why BTC has held steadfast at $64,000 and ETH has returned to $1,900 without retreating.
Tomorrow will be the moment of confirmation
All eyes are now on Friday's July nonfarm payroll report (8:30 AM Eastern Time). Gold has already positioned itself for the "weak" data. The number of initial jobless claims announced today also rose (forecasted at 202,000 people).
Weak employment data = dovish macro logic (oil price drop + dollar decline + weak labor force) fully realized = crypto market will hit 66,000-6.
$80,000. The only risk is: if the data is unexpectedly strong, it could break dovish expectations.
Key Points BTC

Don't bet on data direction in advance—let the 8:30 EST data decide, and keep a close eye on the $64,000 support level.金店门口最近又热闹了。 有人看中一只镯子，听完报价又放了回去；有人翻出家里的旧金饰，盘算现在卖掉值多少；还有人本来只是路过，看到“黄金突破4300美元”，心里突然多出一句：是不是又错过了？ 8月6日，国际现货黄金盘中突破每盎司4300美元，随后在高位盘整。这是一个醒目的价格节点，却不是一张通往下一个高点的保证书。 它更像一道放大镜：一边是市场对利率、美元、央行购金和避险需求的重新定价，另一边是普通人对“贬值”“错过”和“安全感”的集中焦虑。 【4300美元，到底是什么价格】 先要拆开一个最容易混淆的概念。 热搜里的4300美元，指的是国际现货黄金每盎司报价。它不是国内金店每克金饰的价签，也不等于你今天买入、明天卖出就能按同样涨幅结算。 从国际盘面到国内柜台，中间还要经过汇率、品牌溢价、工艺费、渠道成本和回收折价。两个人在同一天进店，一个买投资金条，一个买复杂工艺的金饰，他们买到的其实不是同一种东西。 前者更接近金价本身，后者还包含设计、加工和情绪价值。日后回收时，那些买入时很贵的工费，往往不会原样返回。 所以，看见4300美元就立刻问“金饰还能不能买”，就像看到小麦期货涨了，马上问明天$MU is currently in a neutral to slightly low position—not the lowest (29% pullback from the 52-week high), nor a position chasing highs.

When most people think about Bitcoin mining, they picture rows of noisy ASICs inside massive warehouses.
What they don't see are the engineers, electricians, technicians, software developers, and energy experts working behind the scenes to keep the network running 24/7.
Mining isn't just plugging in hardware.
It's designing power systems, managing cooling, monitoring performance, repairing equipment, and building software that keeps thousands of machines online with minimal downtime.
As the industry grows, so does the demand for skilled talent. Companies are investing in training, developing more efficient mining chips, improving energy management, and pushing innovation in automation and high-performance computing.
Many of the breakthroughs born in Bitcoin mining are already influencing the broader data center industry.
At its core, Bitcoin mining isn't only about hashrate.
It's about the people who build, maintain, and improve the infrastructure that keeps the world's most decentralized financial network secure every single day.
Behind every block mined is a team making it possible.

This storage cycle is completely different from before
#内存卖方市场延续, can the Korean stock market see a turnaround?
Recently, many people have been alarmed by the continuous adjustments in South Korea's semiconductor sector, and have started calling for the storage cycle to peak and the market to end.
But today, I'll be bluntly stating my only core view: this wave of Korean chip declines is purely due to emotional misjudgment. This round of memory upward cycles is far from over—in fact, it's likely to last longer than ever before!
I'm not blindly bullish; combining recent industry data and market logic, I'll explain why I'm so confident.
First, everyone must be clear about one thing: a stock price correction ≠ the industry cycle has peaked.
Recently, Samsung and SK Hynix have continued to weaken, and the Korean stock sector has been undergoing continuous adjustments, leading to widespread market pessimism. Many retail investors see the market drop and instinctively feel that the momentum for storage storage is gone and the market is over.
But the real state of the industry is nothing like that!
Currently, global DRAM memory supply remains tight, a clear seller's market, with tight supply and rigid demand, and no signs of weakening industry fundamentals. The storage demand for AI servers and computing clusters is a sustained long-term increment, not a one-off hype in the short term.
Traditional storage cycles were driven by smartphones, computers, and consumer electronics. Once demand saturated, the cycle would quickly decline, leading to overcapacity and sharp price drops.
But the core driving force of this cycle has completely changed!
The underlying logic behind this round of rally is the expansion of AI computing power, driven by rigid demand driven by global digitalization and large model iteration. This demand is stable, sustainable, and massive in scale, directly extending the overall boom cycle of the storage industry. This is also the core reason why Goldman Sachs dared to clearly state that Korean stocks are being overly sold.
The biggest problem in the market right now is that everyone is viewing the new AI storage market with an old-fashioned mindset.
Funds are simply using pullbacks to shake out and digest valuations due to previous sector gains, which is a normal technical adjustment and not a fundamental collapse. Retail investors have been swayed by short-term candlestick declines and become overly panicked, which has led to the current misselling rally.
Finally, let me share my practical approach, which is very clear:
At this stage, I am neither panicking and cutting losses, nor blindly buying heavy positions to chase gains.
I firmly believe in the long-term outlook for the storage sector, believing this correction is a mid-cycle opportunity to dig a hole, not the end of the market. However, short-term market sentiment has not yet stabilized, and the volatility will continue, so there is no need to bet on a left-side reversal.
The key to trading is to recognize the essence:
What fell was stock sentiment; what remained unchanged was the industry cycle.
Patiently wait for sentiment to recover and the trend to pick up again. The dividends of this ultra-long storage cycle will surely be paid out in the future.

#AMD财报超预期，增长已被透支？ $AMD $SNDK $SNDK Tonight, SPCX will face its most brutal battle since its listing—not a financial report, not a launch, but an unlocking event
In US stock history, there has never been such a large-scale post-IPO unlocking or a nine-stage stepwise release. How to break this game will be revealed tonight
911.5 million shares held by insiders were lifted from sales restrictions. At current stock prices, the market value involved exceeds $100 billion. There are only 639 million shares in circulation, but after the lock-up was lifted, the tradable shares surged overnight to 1.55 billion shares. This is one of the largest post-IPO stock lock-up releases in U.S. stock history. On the market supply side, it will expand to more than 1.4 times the original level.
The bigger issue is that this is just the beginning. By December this year, the SPCX's tradable shares will surge from 639 million to 5.33 billion, an increase of more than sevenfold. A little over a month ago, the stock price was $225; now, it's $108—already halved. Short positions soared from 23.3 million shares on June 16 to 219.3 million shares, accounting for 34% of the circulating shares, with short selling totaling $24.6 billion, already surpassing Tesla. The head of research at S3 Partners put it bluntly: "The current big bets revolve around the unlocked, and the market's bet on earnings reports is insufficient to offset the impact of a large number of unlocked shares entering the market." ”
Both bulls and bears have already formed their formations. On the day of the earnings report, the SPCX fell nearly 8%, and after hours, it fell more than 4%. Revenue of 7.814 billion yuan exceeded expectations, but capital expenditure was 18.4 billion yuan, nearly 40% above analysts' forecast of 13.2 billion.
But most people missed one piece of information—Musk's 6.4 billion shares are still locked until June 2027. He once said on X: Institutions shorting SpaceX have a "very low chance of long-term survival." If selling pressure after the lock-up is lifted tonight falls short of expectations, 34% of short positions themselves serve as fuel for short squeezes.
The expectation of oversupply has already been priced in. If expectations diverge, which direction will it take?
Tonight's unlocking is the first real test since SPCX's listing. The big test isn't about fundamentals, but about everyone's prediction of the "liquidity shock." If insiders concentrate selling, the stock price will come under pressure; If selling pressure falls short of expectations, bears may be hit by backlash.
Either way, tonight's SPCX will send a clear signal to the market.
#SPCX因星舰发射与解禁引发多空分歧
$SPCX $SPCX (SpaceX) Comprehensive Trend Analysis
⚠️ Information is for reference only and does not constitute any investment advice. This stock is highly volatile, with a peak unlocking period and high short positions, classified as a high-risk asset. The ATR reaches 7.99, and daily price swings of over ten dollars are normal.
Current Status
After listing, it sharply retraced from a high of $225 and has now fallen below the $135 IPO issue price; on August 6, the U.S. East Coast experienced a historic large-scale unlocking: 911.5 million shares unlocked, more than doubling the circulating shares. Multiple rounds of batch unlocks will continue from August to December, maintaining selling pressure.
Short positions account for about 34% of the circulating free float before unlocking, with huge short positions and extremely fierce long-short battles; note: the percentage will passively decrease after unlocking, so focus on the total number of short shares rather than the short percentage.
Financial reports show Starlink is profitable, but AI and Starship R&D capital expenditures are huge, resulting in overall continuous losses; the market is highly divided: some institutions are optimistic about the long-term space + AI story, while others believe the valuation is still too high.
Key Technical Levels
Strong support 1: $107-108, a recent important bottom and the lifeline for bulls; if volume-backed effective breakdown occurs, the next key support is in the $98-100 range.
First resistance: $118, the first short-term hurdle; only with volume and a stable hold here will a recovery rally begin.
Strong resistance: $132-135 (IPO issue price), a huge trapped position; this level is the bull-bear dividing line, and regaining it indicates a trend reversal upward.
Technical indicators: daily chart is in a descending broad channel, all medium- and long-term moving averages are above the price; RSI is in a neutral to weak zone, no clear uptrend formed, with oscillation and high volatility as the main tone.
Three Scenario Projections
① Base scenario (highest probability): wide oscillation between $108-132
After unlocking, insiders moderately sell but no panic dumping; shorts and bottom-fishing retail investors battle back and forth.
Trapped positions above suppress the rise, while retail investors buy on dips below.
Trigger conditions: no major positive or negative news, neutral Starship test flight, earnings guidance not significantly deviating from expectations.
② Optimistic scenario: rebound and challenge $132-135
Trigger conditions (at least one fulfilled):
No large-scale insider selling after unlocking; total short shares significantly decrease, with short covering;
Successful full orbital test flight of Starship;
Management provides clear guidance on loss reduction and future cash flow improvement;
Overall strength in the U.S. tech market, with significant institutional capital inflow.
Note: even with a rebound, a large amount of trapped chips accumulate near $135, making a one-time breakthrough difficult.
③ Pessimistic scenario: break below $108, test $98-100
Trigger conditions:
Large-scale original shareholder selling after unlocking, supply shock exceeds expectations;
Starship test delayed or failed;
Earnings call provides no loss reduction timetable, capital expenditures continue to exceed expectations;
U.S. risk assets collectively pull back;
Shorts continue to increase positions, with intraday short trade ratio remaining high.
Core Driving Factors (Bullish / Bearish)
✅ Bullish
Starlink business continues profitable growth, the company's core foundation; long-term space computing narrative has huge imagination space.
High short positions mean if positive catalysts appear, there is potential for a short squeeze rebound.
After unlocking, the circulating shares increase, allowing some ETFs and large institutions to enter and allocate.
❌ Bearish (current dominant pressure)
Massive unlocking is the biggest short-term risk; shares will continue unlocking from August to December, keeping supply pressure overhead for a long time.
AI and Starship burn cash heavily, with no overall profitability in the short term; if capital expenditures continue to exceed expectations, valuation will remain under pressure.
Short positions are at extremely high levels; simultaneously, a large amount of trapped shares after IPO means every rally faces selling pressure from unlocking.
Elon Musk's personal-related public opinion and statements can easily cause additional stock price disturbances.
Key Practical Monitoring Signals
Bullish confirmation signals
Daily volume-backed hold above $118, closing without falling back below.
Total short shares continuously decrease, intraday short trade ratio consistently drops below 45%.
Unlocking data shows insider selling far below market expectations.
Starship test flight is successful, management provides clear loss reduction guidance.
Bearish confirmation signals
Volume-backed close below $107-108 support.
Large-scale original shareholder selling after unlocking, total short shares continue to increase.
Multiple Starship delays/test failures; capital expenditures continue to rise. The U.S. stock market added $800 billion in a single day, pushing the S&P 500 to a new all-time high. The core driving force was semiconductors. The question the mayor asks is this. Could the increased risk appetite of U.S. stocks lead to stronger relative strength for altcoins in the Korean crypto market? Summarize the facts. On June 26, the S&P 500 closed up 1.02% in the U.S. stock market, reaching an all-time high, with its market capitalization increasing by about $800 billion. The five semiconductor stocks led the rally, adding about $178 billion in market capitalization to their combined market. Micron rose 5.63%, AMD 6.34%, Intel 9.22%, Marvell 10.43%, and SanDisk 7.64%. This accounts for about 22% of the overall market gain. The structural significance of this incident is not simply a stock market rally, but that the source of risk appetite lies not in defensive stocks or large tech stocks, but in high-beta semiconductors. Semiconductors are highly sensitive to interest rates and respond immediately to global liquidity conditions. Their strength is reflected in the U.S. asset market.$BTC $ETH $SOL #黄金重返4200美元, why hasn't BTC followed the rise? #意大利大行减IBIT普通股94%, increased staking ETH #谷歌AI高层重组, core talent loss draws attention.

Three things he publicly discussed a few days ago hit the emotional point of global risk assets: the employment data exceeding expectations temporarily dispelled the illusion of "an immediate rate cut," the promise that inflation would not continue to soar gave the market some reassurance, and the most explosive was the hint of discussing the Strait of Hormuz agreement—after all, nearly one-third of the world's maritime oil flows there. If shipment volumes could stabilize, the panic of the oil price jump would be largely dispelled.
Many people might not realize what this has to do with Bitcoin. Here's the most straightforward logic: if oil prices skyrocket, inflation can't be suppressed, US Treasury yields will definitely climb, and the dollar will strengthen accordingly. So Bitcoin, a risk asset supported by loose liquidity, has no incentive to surge. Conversely, if the strait situation stabilizes, oil prices hold steady or even slightly fall, inflation data can keep falling, opening up room for Fed rate cuts, and the first hot money to flow into the crypto market is our crypto market.
Stop focusing on spot ETF net inflows and institutional holdings. The main trend for the next half month is not in the crypto world: every fluctuation in international oil prices will be reflected in US Treasury and US dollar movements, and finally reflected in Bitcoin's rise and fall. How intense is the long-short battle at the 65,000 level? Just look at the contract opening interest repeatedly breaking new highs and you'll understand: a single external signal triggers a major bullish candlestick or a major plunge.
If you have chips, don't blindly trade T; if you are short, don't rush to bottom-fish. Recently, checking international news twice more is more useful than looking at 100 candlestick charts. After this round of the market, Bitcoin has truly been completely transformed—it is no longer the niche speculative asset it once was. It is now a major asset deeply tied to global macro markets. This kind of market, linked to commodities and monetary policy, has been seen by veteran crypto enthusiasts before; new players should definitely not miss this opportunity. Hold your chips and wait for signals; after this breakout, the next scene might be 70,000 views.$BTC 正在以一种“无聊横盘”的方式筑底，但最后一跌或许还没有结束。
根据 Glassnode 最新报告，比特币正逐步进入底部构建阶段。
7 月 31 日 Coldcard 事件导致约 594 枚 BTC 被盗。随后三天内，超过一年未移动的比特币转移量激增至约 11.9 万枚，但流入交易所的仅占约 10%，市场也没有出现明显的恐慌性抛售。
这意味着，长期持有者更多是在调整仓位，而不是集中离场。
与此同时，**卖方耗尽（Seller Exhaustion）**指标已经进入历史底部区域。不过，与历次熊市真正的最终底部相比，目前仍有一定距离，说明筹码清洗正在进行，但可能尚未彻底完成。
真正的问题依然是需求不足。
美国现货比特币 ETF 在 6 月净流出约 6.58 万枚 $BTC，创下历史最差单月纪录。虽然企业持续增持比特币，但依然无法完全弥补新增资金的缺口。
没有新的增量资金，即使卖压减弱，也很难推动 $BTC 快速走出趋势行情。
期权市场同样释放出谨慎信号。看涨期权隐含波动率已降至约 23% 的历史低位，而看跌期权波动率保持相对稳定，说明市场既没有大举押注暴涨，也没有积极对冲暴跌风险。
历史经验来看，波动率长期压缩往往会迎来方向性突破，但本轮行情仍缺少推动持续上涨的资金引擎。
目前，$BTC 仍围绕 6.4 万美元附近震荡。
如果放量突破并站稳 6.5 万美元，有望进一步挑战 6.7 万–6.8 万美元；如果跌破 6.2 万–6.3 万美元这一关键支撑区域，则不排除再次回测 6 万美元。
底部条件正在逐步积累，但真正的反转仍需要三个关键确认：
• ETF 资金重新回流
• 成交量持续放大
• 价格有效突破关键阻力位
#CLARITYVoteMath ，参议院分歧扩大
#DailyOrbit 兄弟们，跟大家完整复盘我在1466位置布局闪迪空单的整套逻辑，现在持仓状态，还有接下来这只票该怎么看。#闪迪财报双超预期，新增140亿美元回购授权
为什么1466敢开空？
当时冲到1466，盘面看着一片火热，市场全部在吹AI存储超级周期，但我看到的全是风险，四个核心理由：
1、估值已经把所有利好提前打满。
市场直接把闪迪对标英伟达给高估值，但本质NAND闪存属于强周期大宗商品，涨价是阶段性的，不是永续高增长生意。短期从低位快速反弹30%+，大量散户追高进场，情绪完全过热，已经price in了AI存储所有乐观故事，一旦业绩指引不及超高预期，很容易杀估值回调。
2、技术面来到强压力重套牢区。
1460‑1480是前期下跌的筹码密集套牢带，日线级别下降通道上沿就在这个区间，多次冲上去都站不稳，属于压力重重的位置，向上突破的代价非常大，博弈回落盈亏比很高。
3、财报前的预期泡沫，隐患很大。
财报还没落地，华尔街一致性预期已经拉到天花板，几十家机构几乎全部给买入评级，平均目标价两千以上。这种局面，就算财报本身数据好看，只要下一季指引稍微达不到市场疯狂的想象，就会利好兑现砸盘。周期股最怕的不是业绩差，是预期打的太满。
4、板块层面隐患。
整个AI存储板块短期涨幅巨大，市场资金拥挤。同时美债收益率居高不下，高估值成长股整体承压，一旦美股科技板块情绪转弱，闪迪这种高波动标的，回调幅度会非常猛。
当时我的入场：1466布局空，止损放在1510上方，第一目标1350，第二目标1280。
空单现在的持有情况
入场之后，盘中最高冲到接近1483，短暂测试我的止损附近，空头承受一波逼空洗盘，没有打穿止损位，随后转头向下回落。
随着财报落地，虽然本季度营收、利润数据超预期，但下一季度营收、毛利率指引低于市场乐观的一致性预期，直接触发资金获利了结，股价开始下行，最低打到1345附近，现在价格1350区间，空单已经拿到浮盈。
目前我没有全部止盈离场，保留部分底仓空单，已经把止损下移到1430，把这笔单子变成零风险持仓，就算后面重新反弹上去，也不会亏本金，拿底仓博弈进一步下行空间。
这里说一句实在话：这笔单子中间经历逼空，心理压力是很大的，高波动美股个股，仓位一定不能重，重仓很容易被短期洗盘直接扫出局。
闪迪后续走势两种推演
情景一（我底仓博弈的主线情景）：冲高回落，继续走回调
财报指引不及预期这个心结会持续压制估值。上方1420‑1460变成强压力。
如果反弹摸这个区间承压过不去，会继续下探。第一支撑1300，进一步打开空间看向1240‑1280前期平台。
催化：NAND涨价逻辑被证伪、云厂商资本开支放缓、美股科技股整体风险偏好回落。
情景二：多头重新夺回主动权，向上突破
只有一种情况我会全部平掉空单：放量站稳1480上方，有效突破下降通道上沿。
代表市场完全无视指引利空，资金继续疯狂炒作AI存储故事，那么本轮回调逻辑失效，就要放弃空头思路，不能死扛空单。
币哥社区个人总结
1466开空，不是看这家公司彻底不行，是博弈利好出尽、预期过高之后的估值修复。闪迪实实在在有AI业务增长，不是纯垃圾股，只是当时价格透支太多。AI storage demand is exploding, but if companies cannot sustain profits, grand narratives become harvesters
I just saw SanDisk's financial report: FY2026Q4 revenue was $8.97 billion, with adjusted EPS of $39.25. Although these exceeded expectations and included $14 billion in share buybacks, the revenue guidance for the next quarter was slightly weaker, causing the stock price to fall back after hours. What does this indicate? This shows that the market is no longer satisfied with the impressive data before it but is beginning to question: how much longer can the surge in storage demand driven by AI last?
Why does the stock price fall after hours just because the revenue guidance for next quarter is slightly weaker, even when the earnings report exceeds expectations and buybacks are so aggressive?
The core reason is that the market is divided over the sustainability of AI storage companies' profitability. Over the past year or so, tech giants have spent extremely heavily on AI data centers (CapEx), aggressively buying enterprise-grade SSDs and high-bandwidth memory. But the market now worries that this procurement peak may be pre-processed, and once these cloud giants' cloud service computing power fails to translate into paid profits for end users, they will have to cut spending. For storage hardware manufacturers like SanDisk, if downstream demand growth slows, no matter how good profits are now, future performance growth will inevitably stall. I myself have also been holding back in the storage sector before; when the big cycle peaks, if it runs a bit slower, all profits will be swallowed up.
For investors focused on hardware and semiconductors, what changes will the core logic in the future?
We need to shift our focus from short-term shipment volumes to the company's true pricing power and profit quality. The storage industry has always been a typical high-cyclical sector, with extremely high price elasticity. Although due to rigid demand for AI computing power, TrendForce data shows that NAND flash capital expenditure in 2026 will still be kept at a conservative level of around $22.2 billion, and contract prices in Q3 are expected to rise by 10% to 15% quarter-on-quarter, with some SLC NAND contract prices possibly surging 120% to 170% quarter-on-quarter in the second half of the year. But the reason manufacturers remain restrained in capacity expansion and aggressively buy back while making big profits is because they fully understand the ruthlessness of cyclical laws. If the commercialization of the AI application layer cannot keep pace, this kind of profitability maintained by high premiums cannot be sustained.
So, in the upcoming market, which specific indicators should we focus on to confirm this turning point?
Next, I will focus on tracking two core indicators. One is the change in capital expenditure (CapEx) guidance released by hyperscale cloud providers like Microsoft, Google, and Meta in their quarterly earnings reports, to see if there are signs of slowdown in procurement. Another is TrendForce's monthly updates on enterprise SSD and NAND flash contract price trends, to see if the high premium is starting to loosen.

#闪迪财报双超预期, an additional $14 billion repurchase authorization was added Is Google also starting to struggle to retain AI giants?
#谷歌AI高层重组, the loss of core talent draws attention
Today, I saw news about Google's AI executive restructuring and the loss of core talent. My first reaction wasn't that AI is dying off, but that this sector has become so competitive that even Google might not be able to retain staff.
Previously, companies were busy comparing models; now even researchers have become market resources to compete for. With a few more stars in the team, a new story can be told outside; Once people leave, everyone starts speculating again if there is a problem with the internal channels.
This situation really looks like the crypto world.
We complain every day that project teams rely on team backgrounds to make empty promises, but US AI isn't that different. Before the real product and revenue are fully revealed, the core team list is basically half a financial report.
I don't think Google AI is doomed just because a few people leave; its assets and cash are still there. It's just that talent keeps moving and organizational structures are constantly adjusted, at least indicating that the inside isn't as stable as outsiders think.
Of course, the story of AI can still be told, but in the future, just shouting about investment may no longer be enough.
With so much money spent, what is left behind in the end? The market will sooner or later seriously calculate this account. #Polymarket洽谈10亿美元融资，估值超200亿美元
Polymarket这是要起飞啊！
兄弟们，200亿美金估值，融资10亿！去年估值才90亿，这才半年多直接翻倍还不止。一个预测市场平台，估值快赶上二线公链了，你敢信？
你知道这背后意味着什么吗？
年化营收已经超过12亿美金，翻了整整三倍！美国合规交易所5月份才正式开放，现在日均交易量已经破亿。世界杯一来，国际平台交易量直接冲上历史新高。这不是什么空气项目，这是实实在在的钱在往里涌。
而且你看看投资方都是谁——纽交所母公司ICE砸了6亿美金，D.E. Shaw、G Squared这些顶级机构全来了。传统金融巨头是真把预测市场当回事了，不是来玩票的。
但我必须泼盆冷水。
这公司现在最大的问题不是能不能赚钱，是全世界都在跟它过不去。印度直接封了，巴西封了，法国封了，英国封了，连乌克兰都因为它接受战争下注给封了。三十多个国家把它列进黑名单，每两三个月就多几个。
说白了，这套"去中心化、无需许可"的玩法，跟各国的主权监管天生就是死对头。它想进日本，目标定在2030年，要花四年去游说。四年！在币圈，四年足够死三回了。
我觉得吧，Polymarket确实在做一个很牛逼的事——把"群众智慧"变成可交易的金融产品。但监管这关要是过不去，再大的估值也是空中楼阁。

The release of earnings reports and earnings expectations once again impacted the US stock market. Yesterday, several companies' earnings data pushed down the price of the storage sector. I think this is normal after a strong rebound followed by resistance. However, gold bucked the trend yesterday and surged nearly 5%. Bitcoin has also been linked to the downward trend of gold and US stocks. Although the reversal remains weak, this is a rare occurrence in recent months.
On August 5, Bitcoin ETFs saw a net inflow of 244 million. Ethereum ETFs saw a net outflow of 60.8 million.
BITMEX and bitMart have both shut down, which is a bit reminiscent of the FTX collapse during the 2022 bear market. In previous bear markets, exchanges were the last to be killed, but in this bear market, I think the most critical issue is still shell companies. Now that WeCe has started to open the door to selling coins, even if it falls, it's very likely that WeCe won't collapse because it can keep selling coins to maintain operations. Ethereum shell companies can earn interest through staking. As long as there is no coin disaster, shell companies seem unlikely to collapse. So, could history be strikingly similar? Is this 60,000 really the bottom of this bear market? That depends on how long the market can stay sideways at the bottom.
Market analysis
Bitcoin rose against the trend yesterday in conjunction with gold, but ultimately did not surpass 65,000, which is still too small. Gold rose 5% yesterday, while Bitcoin was less than 1%. Today looks more like a catch-up rally. Whether it can break the consolidation pattern depends on the next couple of days. Tomorrow's nonfarm payroll data is also important, presenting an opportunity to break the upper boundary. Wait patiently.
As mentioned yesterday, US tech companies are indeed a good opportunity to exit, but they won't keep falling. Declines are still good opportunities to buy bottoms. The second test support is at the bottom range of the last drop, so you can raise the price slightly around that range to bottom-fish. Under Trump's leadership, US stocks don't have the potential for a big drop, so they're not very afraid.

#闪迪财报双超预期，新增140亿美元回购授权 #内存卖方市场延续, can the Korean stock market see a turnaround?
Don't rush to sentence Korean chip stocks to death.
Recently, the semiconductor sector has been pulling back, and many people have started to shout that "the cycle is over." But on the other hand, Goldman Sachs believes this round of decline has gone a bit too far, and the market may have underestimated the duration of this round of storage rally.
The key reason is that AI demand has not significantly cooled. HBM and DRAM remain in short supply, global new capacity is being released at a limited pace, and the memory market remains in the hands of sellers.
So, the current market debate is focused on only one thing: is this a sentiment-driven misselling, or the last rebound before the storage cycle peaks?
What I care about more is not short-term stock price fluctuations, but whether the fundamentals have changed. If AI continues to drive computing power demand, memory prices remain strong, and manufacturers can't keep pace with production expansion, then this round of adjustment may not mean the market is over; rather, it may be a repricing after digesting overly high expectations.
What truly determines the next phase's trend is still demand, supply, and profits, not market sentiment.
Based on this assessment, I prefer to view this adjustment as an opportunity rather than a risk. Semiconductors themselves are a strong cyclical industry, and market sentiment often changes faster than fundamentals. When the supply-demand pattern does not reverse, a short-term correction does not necessarily mean the industry has peaked.
If memory supply remains tight in the future, I believe the first to benefit will still be memory chip companies. Price increases will directly improve profitability; Then, as capacity expansion begins, semiconductor equipment companies will also see order growth; Going forward, the entire AI industry chain will continue to benefit from stronger computing infrastructure.
As for whether I will participate in the semiconductor sector now, I won't rush to bottom-fish just because of continuous declines, nor will I exit completely because of market pessimism. I prefer to position in batches and patiently wait, letting time prove the logic.
My judgment remains unchanged, focusing only on three core variables: whether AI demand is slowing, whether memory supply and demand remain tight, and whether manufacturers are expanding production faster than demand. As long as these three conditions remain unchanged, I believe this round of adjustment is more like a repricing rather than the end of the semiconductor cycle.

What do you think about SpaceX's future? [Pharaoh Market Watch]
Everyone is asking the pharaoh: ADP is only 44,000, so the Fed must be backing down now, right?
Pharaoh bluntly said that while employment data has indeed cooled, the Fed's mouths are much tougher than expected. Now, it's not about "adding or not," but about "who decides." ADP added 44,000 new jobs, far below the expected 70,000 and more than last month's 98,000 cut. The market's first reaction was that expectations for rate hikes cooled, the US dollar weakened, and Bitcoin rebounded from around 62,000 to above 63,000.
But as soon as the data came out, the Fed's hawks jumped out to speak out. Minneapolis Fed President Kashkari directly advocated for "gradual rate hikes," saying that voting against it was no joke. Kansas City Fed President Schmid also stated that "further rate hikes may be necessary." Even more ruthless, three regional Fed chairs voted against it at the July meeting, marking the first time since 2016 that three votes were aligned against the same direction.
The differences have become obvious. Finance Minister Besent stepped forward and said, "There's no need to raise rates," but internal hawks simply didn't buy it. Fed Chair Wash, however, refused to provide any forward-looking guidance, leaving the market to guess for itself. Former New York Fed President Dudley directly retorted, saying that rising long-term bond yields indicate the Fed's credibility is declining.
What did the Pharaoh think? The cooling employment data is a fact, but internal disputes within the Federal Reserve remain. In the short term, the market will follow the data, but in the medium term, it will depend on whether these hawks will actually act before the September meeting. Pharaoh still said, good orders are waited for, not chased.
Follow Pharaoh and never lose your way to wealth! $BTC $ETH $BICO #ADP就业降温, Fed policy divergences have intensified #Circle财报后押注Arc，USDC能否迎来新增长？ Family, Mi Ge breaks down Circle's earnings report for you, along with its real trump card—Arc.
First, about the earnings report itself: it’s decent but the market isn’t buying it much.
Q2 total revenue was $701 million, up 7% year-over-year, but below Wall Street’s expectation of $713 million. This is the second consecutive quarter of revenue missing expectations. Net profit was $48.21 million, much better than the huge loss in the same period last year.
Key data: USDC circulating supply at the end of the period was $73.3 billion, up 19% year-over-year. However, it dropped about 4.8% from $77 billion at the end of Q1, and is also below the near $80 billion peak earlier this year. On-chain transaction volume in Q2 was $14.8 trillion, a staggering 151% year-over-year increase, with 7 million active wallets, up 24% year-over-year. Reserve yield dropped from 4.14% to 3.48%, so interest income is shrinking.
After the earnings release, pre-market price briefly rose over 8%, then turned to a nearly 3% drop during the session. The stock has fallen about 20% year-to-date, with a market cap around $16 billion. The market sentiment is clear: the story of making money from interest income has reached its ceiling.
Arc is the real trump card.
Mainnet launched on September 16, with over 100 institutions and ecosystem builders already running on the private mainnet.
The founding validator list is extremely high-profile: BlackRock, DTCC, Visa, Mastercard, Standard Chartered, Intercontinental Exchange, Western Union, Galaxy, SBI Group, Sumitomo Corporation, Global Payments.
Specific collaborations are already in place: BlackRock plans to deploy the BUIDL fund on Arc. DTCC will tokenize DTC custodial assets on Arc starting in the second half of 2027. BNY Mellon and Standard Chartered are also exploring digital asset custody, FX, and repo infrastructure integration.
On launch day, the ecosystem lineup includes DeFi protocols like Aave, Uniswap, Morpho; wallet providers such as Binance Wallet, MetaMask, Ledger; and payment service providers like Rain and Thunes will all connect.
ARC token raised $222 million in a May presale, led by a16z with $75 million, with participation from BlackRock, Apollo, ICE, and others. The company has significantly raised its full-year other income guidance from $150 million to $310–330 million, mainly from Arc token presale revenue. $BTC $ETH
Mi Ge’s take:
What Circle is doing now is completely different from Tether’s path. While Tether is still earning interest from U.S. Treasuries, Circle has started building institutional financial infrastructure. Having names like BlackRock, Visa, and DTCC together on a blockchain project’s validator list is unprecedented in crypto history.
Arc’s risks are also clear. Stablecoins are still a business relying on interest income. Whether Arc can really take off and whether institutions will actually use it remain unknown. The gap between technical implementation and commercialization is longer than expected.
But if this move succeeds, Circle will no longer be just a stablecoin issuer; it will be the bridge between traditional finance and the crypto world. The mainnet launches on September 16—let’s see the real results then. What do you think? Can Arc change the stablecoin landscape? Share your judgment in the comments.#闪迪财报双超预期, an additional $14 billion repurchase authorization was added
SanDisk's recent financial report is actually quite interesting.
The numbers look impressive: revenue of $8.97 billion exceeded expectations, EPS was significantly above market expectations, and the company also announced an additional $14 billion in buyback authorizations. But as everyone saw, the stock price actually fell after hours.
Many people's first reaction might be: "The good news has been delivered, but prices can't rise anymore." ”
But my understanding is not exactly the same.
I think this is more like the market entering a new phase: previously, people bought AI supply chains mainly to see if there was AI demand; Now, everyone is watching whether AI demand can support current valuations.
This change is crucial.
Because the story of AI storage itself is not over.
In recent years, the biggest change in AI has been the explosive demand for computing power, and behind computing power lies storage. As models grow larger, data increases, and inference scenarios become more diverse, the demand for high-performance storage in servers and data centers will only increase.
Simply put, the faster AI develops, the larger the data processing volume, and the greater the importance of storage.
But problems arose.
The market never rewards only trends; it rewards expectations.
SanDisk's recent financial report has proven one thing: the demand for AI storage does exist.
But what the market now wants to know is the second thing: how much longer can this growth last?
If profits are driven solely by rising storage prices in the future, then this cycle may resemble a traditional semiconductor market: when prices rise, earnings explode, and after supply and demand shifts, profits return.
But if AI truly brings long-term data growth and infrastructure upgrades, then the valuation logic of the storage industry may change.
So now, when I look at the storage sector, the focus isn't on how much a company made this quarter, but on three things:
First, are orders from AI customers continuously increasing?
Second, is the rise in storage prices driven by real demand rather than short-term supply adjustments;
Third, can the company turn revenue growth into stable profits?
Many people like to look for opportunities when the market is hottest because that's when stories are the best.
But what's interesting about investing is that truly good opportunities often don't appear when everyone believes them, but when everyone starts to hesitate.
This time, SanDisk's earnings exceeded expectations but the stock price fell, which I actually think serves as a reminder:
The direction of AI storage may be correct, but the way people make money will change in the future.
The next competition is not about who can ride the AI concept, but who can continuously generate profits amid the wave of AI infrastructure.
The trend remains, but valuations won't always pay for sentiment. $SNDK 很多交易员现在都陷入一个典型认知误区：误以为所有山寨币都能迎来一轮集体拉升。但当下市场传递出的信号恰恰相反，行情并不会出现普涨式山寨大牛市，本质是一轮实实在在的流动性转移行情。
