From last night to today, Bitcoin pushed from below $76,000 all the way above $81,000, and the total market capitalization of the entire crypto market also surged to around $2.71 trillion, reaching the high point from May. The direct trigger for this rally was still the buying power in the spot market. After Bitcoin-related funds in the US set a record by attracting $3.5 billion in August, ETF funds have net inflowed over $700 million in the past two days, completely reversing the outflow trend from a few days ago. However, to be honest, the willingness to take profits after the rally is also quite strong. The price was once hammered down from the $82,000 high before the European session and is now hovering around $81,000. There are two key levels to watch here: one is the $83,000 to $86,000 range, which, according to on-chain data, is a dense area of long-term holder chips, also known as the "supply wall," so selling pressure won’t be small; the other is the 365-day moving average at $82,300, which is also a tough resistance. The options market isn’t very excited either; no one expects a short-term breakout, but rather a continued oscillation between $80,000 and $83,000. As for how things will go from today to tomorrow morning, I think it’s highly likely to be a high-level consolidation to digest profit-taking, seeing if it can hold above $80,000. The current market heat mainly relies on short covering and inflows of spot funds, but to break through the $83,000 wall above, a stronger macro catalyst is needed, such as if tonight there isYesterday BTC surged to 81,000, rising 5.6% in one day. ETH returned to 2499. Over 400 million USD worth of short positions across the network were liquidated. The scene was very lively. But if you ask me what exactly happened, to be honest, the fundamentals haven't changed at all. The on-chain data is still the same. The ETF inflows yesterday and today aren't that different. What changed was just a few dovish remarks from a Federal Reserve official. The market's expectation for a rate hike in September dropped from 63% to 50%. Just that one sentence, a thirteen percentage point drop, moved nearly 2.8 trillion USD in the market. This is very much like a moment in a relationship: a three-week cold war where no one wants to speak first, no problems solved, then suddenly one day they send a message asking "Are you busy?" and the weight in your heart is lifted. Actually, nothing has changed, just a bit less uncertainty. And people's pricing of uncertainty is always higher than their pricing of facts. So I’m reluctant to treat this rally as evidence of a trend reversal. It’s more like an emotional correction. The previous sharp drop was because everyone priced in the worst-case scenario early. Now it’s just retracting the part that was overestimated. My recent approach is not to chase these gaps or short the sentiment. When prices rise, I pay more attention to who is taking the risk: is it slow money like ETFs, or fast money with leverage? The height pushed by fast money is usually the depth fast money will take back. Slow money determines how long you can hold, fast money determines whether you can sleep tonight. The above data is from the market on September 4th, just personal observation, and does not constitute any investment advice. #比特币 $ETH current price is about $2,350–$2,550｜ATH $4,946 (2025-08-24) This is not a pump article. The contradiction in Ethereum right now is clear: both on-chain and institutional sides are hitting records, yet the coin price is still more than halved from last year's peak. Below is an analysis broken down by "Protocol / Supply / Funding / Ecosystem / Risks." 1. Protocol: Fusaka has been launched, the next step is Glamsterdam. The roadmap has changed from "one fork per year" to about one fork every six months. - Pectra (2025-05): EIP-7702 allows ordinary addresses to temporarily become smart accounts; validator effective balance cap raised to 2048 ETH; blob throughput doubled. - Fusaka (2025-12-03): The core is PeerDAS. Nodes sample-verify blobs without needing to download them fully. Subsequently, BPO1 / BPO2 raised the target blobs per block from 6 to 14, with an upper limit of 21. L2 data bandwidth is the biggest leap since Dencun. - Next step Glamsterdam (target second half of 2026): Sepolia testnet aiming for October 6. The two headline features are - ePBS: protocol-level proposer-builder separation; - BAL (block-level access lists): paving the way for parallel execution. Also working on gas reReal estate stocks surged sharply today, reportedly due to the loosening of purchase restrictions in first-tier cities, but this kind of short note has fooled people several times already.
The market index surged then fell back, closing with a gravestone doji; those who chased in got stuck at the intraday high—this market really punishes itchy hands.
The only good news is that trading volume slightly increased, indicating some bottom-fishing funds are testing the waters, but the strength is still lacking.
$BTC remains the familiar formula: drifting down during the day and rallying at night; today it retested the 59,000 support.
This lower shadow is quite nice, showing there’s considerable support below, but a direct V-shaped rebound is still difficult.
Coinbase’s premium index turned positive, confirming that buying interest in the US is indeed warming up, which is a positive signal.
However, be cautious: Friday’s options expiry volume is huge and may push the price toward the maximum pain point, roughly around 60,000.
$ETH finally showed some strength today, with its exchange rate rebounding a bit, but sustainability remains to be seen.
There’s news that a certain whale withdrew over a hundred thousand ETH from an exchange, though it’s unclear if it’s a buy or just a wallet transfer.
My current strategy is to place staggered orders: one at 58,000, another at 56,000, and not chasing the rally.
If the price goes straight up, the base positions I hold can still profit, avoiding missing out and anxiety.
Remember, during this low-volume bottom-building phase, there’s no rush; you have to be more patient than the market makers—whoever moves first loses.After this non-farm payroll report, the price movements of $BTC and $ZEC have diverged quite a bit. BTC had just reclaimed the $80,000 level and even surged close to $82,000, but after the non-farm data was released, it fell back. The August non-farm payrolls added 162,000 jobs, significantly higher than the market expectation of 56,000. With employment data stronger than expected, market expectations for a September rate hike have reignited, and BTC fell back below $80,000. But ZEC showed a completely different trend. Before the non-farm report, it was already rising, and after the data release, instead of pulling back with BTC, it continued to surge past $1,000. Facing the same stronger-than-expected non-farm data, why did one get pushed down while the other kept rising? At first, I thought it was just that privacy coins have been hotter in recent speculation, but the more I look, the more I feel that simply attributing this ZEC rally to "short-term speculation" might not be enough. One very important change is that ZEC now has a channel for traditional capital to enter. On August 25, Grayscale's Zcash product ZCSH officially listed on NYSE Arca. By September 3, ZCSH held about 428,600 ZEC, with assets totaling approximately $415 million. Since the listing, there has indeed been new capital inflow. Public data shows that since ZCSH's listing, it has recorded at least about $34.4 million in net inflows. So for this ZEC rally, what I think is truly worth watching is not just how much it has risen, but what new logic the market is actually trading on. Even more interestingly, there is a very contradictory aspect about ZECNonfarm payrolls at 162,000, expected to be less than 60,000? September rate hike probability soars past 60%, BTC 80,000 is hanging by a thread
Tonight's data is really brutal. The market expected less than 60,000, the most optimistic institutions only dared to see 80,000, but the actual figure came out at 162,000. Even more astonishing, the previous two months were revised upward by a total of 55,000 — July was revised from -23,000 to +21,000, June from +20,000 to +31,000. This means the data that everyone thought was "very bad" before actually wasn’t that bad in hindsight, and this month’s data directly slapped that notion in the face.
Waller just hinted the day before: if inflation continues to cool, he supports no rate hike; if data is strong, he will consider a hike. At the time of his speech, the rate hike probability was stuck around 50%, but once the nonfarm data came out, CME immediately pushed the September rate hike probability above 60%. The dollar rallied, and gold and BTC were hammered on the spot.
Bank of America said the nonfarm payrolls are just an "appetizer," with next Friday’s CPI being the "main course," continuing to bet on a September rate hike. Wells Fargo is probably the most stunned — their most optimistic forecast before was only 80,000, but the actual figure was less than half of that.
BTC at the 80,000 level was already fragile; this nonfarm data basically pushed the short-term direction toward "rising rate hike expectations." Next Wednesday’s CPI is the last card before the September 16 FOMC meeting. If inflation strengthens, a September rate hike is basically inevitable, and risk assets will take another hit; if CPI softens a bit, there might be some relief. Let’s see how the CPI report turns out.
#August nonfarm payrolls 162,000 far exceed expectations, rate hike bets heat up The vast majority of traders misunderstand the goal: profit is never about chasing every rally
Many people enter the trading market thinking about catching every upswing and not missing any opportunity on the chart, but the primary principle of real trading is never to chase the rise, but to protect the principal.
By properly layering your positions, your thinking becomes clearer. The core base positions are allocated to BTC and ETH, which are the cornerstones of the market and determine the overall market tone; growth and flexible targets include SOL and XRP, which have sufficient liquidity and room for speculative gains; as for KAITO and BEAT, these are high-risk tracks with huge volatility and require strict position control.
There is no need to force yourself to capture every market fluctuation. Market opportunities are continuous; even if you miss this wave, new opportunities will still appear later, so don’t be overwhelmed by the anxiety of missing out.
Trading is not about frequency but about patience and risk management. Preserving capital allows you to wait for the entry window that truly suits you. Endure the loneliness, manage risk well, hold sufficient principal, and only then will you have the confidence to act when a good opportunity arrives. Rather than exhausting yourself chasing every rise and fall, it’s better to protect your principal and quietly wait for your own market.

#8月非农16.2万远超预期，加息押注升温
#OKX预言家：9月FOMC利率决议预测上线 美国以英伟达AI芯片承诺促成亚美尼亚与阿塞拜疆和平协议，芯片外交首次公开亮相 参与谈判的知情人士透露，美国谈判代表利用获得英伟达AI芯片的承诺，帮助促成亚美尼亚与阿塞拜疆之间的初步和平协议，并特别为亚美尼亚数据中心项目扩大了芯片采购审批权限。这是美国政府首次公开以AI芯片作为筹码促成和平协议。 据参与谈判的知情人士透露，美国谈判代表在促成亚美尼亚与阿塞拜疆初步和平协议的过程中，将获得英伟达人工智能芯片的承诺作为谈判筹码。此前未被报道的细节是，为鼓励亚美尼亚参与谈判，美方特别为其数据中心项目扩大了芯片采购审批权限，这成为美国官员所称的芯片外交迄今最引人注目的案例。从机制上看，美国政府掌握着先进AI芯片的出口审批权，此次将审批便利与和平谈判直接挂钩，意味着芯片已经从单纯的商业商品升格为国家层面的外交资产。特朗普政府此前也曾以人工智能硬件作为筹码与阿联酋、沙特展开谈判，但亚美尼亚协议是该政府首次公开使用此类手段促成和平协议的实例。这一事件的重要性体现在三个层面：其一，AI芯片的战略价值获得官方背书，其稀缺性和不可替代性被地缘政治实践进一步确认；其二，美国出口审批政策正在成为影响全球AI算力分$SNDK surged 11%, when all the bad news is out, it becomes the biggest good news
The non-farm payroll data exploded — 162,000 new jobs added in August far exceeded expectations, and CME shows the probability of a rate hike in September soaring to 60%. The Dow Jones dropped 0.4% in response, while the S&P and Nasdaq fell across the board. According to textbook logic, rising rate hike expectations should cause tech stocks to fall.
But SanDisk bucked the trend on non-farm payroll day, closing up 11.6%, at one point rising over 9% intraday. On the surface, Nvidia's $12.9 billion acquisition of Hugging Face ignited AI sentiment — this is an indirect positive for SanDisk, since GPUs require NAND flash memory support. Dell COO’s exact words were even more direct: "The bottleneck is DRAM, DRAM, DRAM, then NAND, NAND, NAND." In Q2, global NAND revenue surged 70% quarter-over-quarter, with the supply-demand gap clearly evident.
But what really made me sit up in front of the screen was another signal: the entire storage sector collectively surged — Micron, Seagate, Western Digital all rose over 4%, and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index jumped 3.4%. This cannot be explained by individual stock news; it’s capital voting with real money.
Non-farm bad news = rate hike expectations = tech stocks under pressure, this logic is not wrong. But the market is never linear. When an expectation is over-priced and the sector has already corrected over 30%, the moment all the bad news is out actually becomes the biggest good news. SanDisk’s surge tells us: macro data is background noise, industry trends are the main theme. AI’s appetite for storage is just beginning, and this is the real confidence behind capital chasing gains on non-farm payroll day.Crude oil plummeted by five points, easing global inflation expectations, and US stock futures jumped sharply before the market opened.
On the A-share side, consumer electronics and auto parts rallied, but brokers came in to disrupt, pulling it down immediately.
The trading volume remains the same, not even reaching 700 billion; this volume can't support a full rebound, only partial rotation.
$BTC took advantage of this tailwind and surged to 62,000, but was immediately pushed back down.
The selling pressure above is really heavy, with large amounts of trapped positions waiting to be released at every whole number level, so it's not easy.
However, the good news is that this high surge followed by a drop didn't come with huge volume, indicating that chips are still locked in well, and there was no panic selling.
Now it depends on how the US stock market opens; if the Nasdaq can hold steady, Bitcoin still has a chance to surge again.
$ETH clearly can't keep up this round; the exchange rate is falling badly, and all funds are piling into Bitcoin.
Many people are starting to bet on an upgrade narrative after Cancun, but I think it's too early; don't be fooled by big influencers into taking the risk.
In terms of operation, above 60,000 I choose to reduce positions, then wait to buy back near 59,000 to play the price difference.
If it breaks through 63,000 with volume, then chase in, setting a stop loss at 60,000; the risk-reward ratio is favorable.
Markets always rise amid hesitation, but now there are clearly too many hesitant people, so most likely it will still grind.
Remember, don't go against the trend, and don't fight your own position; if you need to be cautious, then be cautious. Recent ETF capital flows have shown a very clear divergence. 📊 Recent fund performance: • 🟠 $BTC → +$730.9M • 🔵 $ETH → -$48.1M • 🟣 $SOL → -$6.1M • 🟢 $XRP → -$7.2M Compared to the approximately $236M single-day outflow of BTC ETF funds in early September, BTC quickly attracted a large amount of institutional capital again, indicating that the market is currently undergoing rapid capital reallocation rather than a simple broad withdrawal. This also tells us one thing: The market cannot yet be defined as a full Altseason. Funds are indeed flowing into the crypto market, but the selection is currently very strong. BTC has regained institutional capital support, while ETF flows for ETH, SOL, and XRP have temporarily cooled down, meaning the market still prefers to allocate to BTC first and then observe whether risks spread to high Beta assets. 📰 The macro situation cannot be ignored either. The US added 162,000 jobs in August, significantly higher than the market's previous expectation of about 55,000, with the unemployment rate holding steady at 4.1%. Strong employment data pushed US Treasury yields higher, also raising market concerns again about a Fed rate hike in September. Therefore, what is truly worth watching next is not just whether BTC can rise, but: Where will the next round of new funds flow? ➡#BTC兑黄金比率升至1月以来高位，强势能否延续？
Nonfarm payrolls at 162,000, directly smashing the expected 80,000, bulls got excited for nothing
Last night I was still wondering if 80,000 could hold, but when the nonfarm data came out, it completely stunned me.
The expectation was only 56,000, but the actual number was 162,000. I stared at that number for several seconds, thinking I had read it wrong. The June and July data were also significantly revised upward by 55,000, with July changing from a negative 23,000 to a positive 21,000. The average monthly number over the past year was only 31,000, so this is a fivefold increase.
During the day, Waller just came out and gave a dovish signal. He said if inflation data continues to improve, he tends to keep rates unchanged in September. The market immediately cheered, BTC surged to 82,000. But then the nonfarm data hit back at night, pushing the rate hike probability from 50% to over 60%, and BTC dropped from 82,000 back to 79,000.
But don’t celebrate too early. In August, hourly wages only rose 3.1% year-over-year, so wage pressure really hasn’t increased. The core issue is next week’s CPI, which is the real key to deciding whether there will be a rate hike in September.
Right now, the rate hike probability on Polymarket is split 50-50, no one dares to say for sure. BTC touched 82,000, then dropped back. Nonfarm won, but the war isn’t over yet, waiting for next week’s CPI. Are the three great immortals manipulating the global market at their fingertips?
Blond Immortal: The Wise King crazily trades T in Brent crude oil between $70-100, hitting Iran when it hits $70, and pretending to sign an agreement with TACO at $100.
Blabber Immortal: Besent focuses on US Treasury yields, intervening with blabber skills when the 30-year US Treasury yield reaches 5.2%.
New Aba Aba Immortal: Wash only watches the probability of rate hikes, hawking hard when the probability drops below 30%, and dovetailing with Aba Aba when it rises to 70%.
The three immortals each play their own game, independent yet interfering with each other.
According to Blond Immortal's usual behavior, friendly negotiations with Iran will happen again within two weeks. $BTC 9月4日非农明显强于预期，按传统逻辑应该压制高估值成长股，但 SanDisk（SNDK）反而成为当天标普500最强个股，盘中/收盘附近涨幅达到约 12%，而美股三大指数反而下跌；Micron、Western Digital、Seagate 等存储股也同步上涨。 我认为，非农并不是 SNDK 上涨的真正核心原因，更像是资金重新定价“AI + NAND”的催化剂。 先看一个最关键的现象 9月4日的数据是： * 非农：+16.2万人 * 市场预期：约 +5.6万人 * 失业率：4.1% * 平均时薪同比：+3.1% * 2年期美债收益率一度升至 4.42% * 纳指：-0.29% * 标普500：-0.38% * 但半导体指数 SOX：约 +3.4% * SNDK：+12%左右 也就是说： 这不是一个“美股整体风险偏好上升”的行情，而是资金非常明确地在买 AI / Memory。 ⸻ ① 非农强 → 市场开始重新交易“美国经济没有衰退” 这是第一层逻辑。 之前市场担心的是： 就业恶化 → 美国经济衰退 → 企业削减资本开支 → AI数据中心投资下降 → 半导体需求下降。 但这次非农直接给了What really matters is: protect the principal first, then wait for high-quality opportunities. Currently, my approach remains very simple: 🏦 Core positions → $BTC + $ETH mainly bear the portfolio's stability, focusing on structural changes around BTC $78K–$82K and ETH $2.35K–$2.60K. 🚀 Growth positions → $SOL + $XRP If BTC stabilizes and ETH starts to increase volume, these high Beta assets may see capital rotation. Pay close attention to SOL at $135–$150 and XRP at $1.30–$1.50. ⚡ High-risk positions → $KAITO + $BEAT with greater volatility, so positions must be lighter. I will only consider increasing risk exposure when volume, structure, and market sentiment align simultaneously. 📰 There is also an important variable now: the macro environment. The latest US August nonfarm payrolls added 162,000 jobs, significantly above market expectations, with unemployment steady at 4.1%. Strong employment data has renewed market concerns that the Fed may maintain a hawkish stance, causing a clear shift in September policy expectations. This is why I won’t FOMO just because of a big bullish candle now. Whether BTC can hold near $78K and ETH can regain and sustain above $2.5K with volume will be more important than mere price increases. If capital starts moving from BTC → ETH → 1.05M #BTC of long-term holder supply sits between $83K and $86K, the first heavy cost-basis shelf above spot at $79K.
Effectively all of it has held through the entire drawdown, making that band the test of whether patient supply sells at breakeven.#Long-term US Treasury yields remain high, debt pressure intensifies
US Treasury yields are still at 4.8%, the aftershocks of the non-farm payrolls are not over.
After last night's non-farm payrolls exceeded expectations at 162,000, the 10-year US Treasury yield surged to around 4.8% intraday, and the 30-year yield remains above 5%. The US government debt has surpassed 40 trillion, with long-term bond supply and inflation expectations jointly pushing up the term premium, making this pressure difficult to ease in the short term.
$BTC is still hovering around 79,600; after a spike and pullback, it hasn't continued to fall, but also hasn't rebounded. Since the bullish candle at 81,279, the market has been digesting the negative impact of the non-farm payrolls. Next, we need to watch next week's CPI data, which is the key variable determining whether the September rate hike can truly be implemented.
If CPI also exceeds expectations, the probability of a rate hike will continue to rise, and 78,000 may not hold. If CPI is moderate, the market might catch a breather. Hold for now and wait for the CPI release before making further moves.CAPITAL IS RETURNING — BUT NOT EQUALLY
Crypto ETF flows are showing clear divergence:
• $BTC → -$236.46M
• $ETH → +$10.95M
• $SOL → +$10.19M
• $XRP → +$14.38M
On September 1, $BTC ETFs recorded significant outflows, while $ETH, $SOL and $XRP continued attracting capital.
This is not confirmation of a full altseason.
But it shows capital is becoming more selective.
The bigger question now:
Where will the next wave of capital flow? #AugPayrollsBeat #BTCGoldRatioHigh #OKXOutcomeLeagThe real driver of the market has never been the crypto circle itself
Many people focus on K-lines to find reasons, but the engine behind this round of ups and downs is in Washington, not in the crypto circle.
The rebound in August itself was a product of "targeted monetary policy easing." On August 19, the U.S. Treasury doubled the scale of long-term bond repurchases from $2 billion to $4 billion. The 30-year U.S. Treasury yield fell back from a high of 5.34%, the dollar weakened, and Bitcoin's opportunity cost decreased—capital began to flow in. Throughout August, Bitcoin rose about 25% cumulatively, and spot ETF net inflows reached about $3.5 billion, marking the largest single-month record in over a year.
The rise in early September was a continuation of this logic. Waller's dovish remarks essentially told the market: a rate hike in September is not certain. Once rate expectations loosened, risk assets rebounded across the board.
But the nonfarm payroll data on September 5 slapped the market. The 162,000 new jobs far exceeded all economists' forecasts. With such a hot job market, what reason does the Federal Reserve have not to raise rates? Sygnum Bank's Chief Investment Officer bluntly stated that the employment recovery provides more grounds for a hawkish stance.
Bitcoin's last 48 hours essentially reflect the market repeatedly pricing the same question: Will the Federal Reserve raise rates at the September 16 FOMC meeting? $ETH $BTC $SOL #8月非农16.2万远超预期，加息押注升温 #BTC兑黄金比率升至1月以来高位，强势能否延续？ #OKX预言家：9月FOMC利率决议预测上线 1. US August employment data exceeded expectations, and the market began to reprice the Federal Reserve: expectations for rate cuts cooled, with even the possibility of maintaining high interest rates. The US dollar and US Treasury yields rose, putting direct pressure on risk assets like crypto, which triggered the sharp drop from 2548 shown in the chart, causing massive contract liquidations and billions in funds cleared. As long as the expectation that the Fed will "not cut rates" remains, there will be continuous pressure above ETH.
2. The US ETH spot ETF still maintains net capital inflows, with institutions not fleeing on a large scale; on-chain large whale addresses continue to accumulate at low levels, which is the core reason why the price did not plunge straight down after the crash and held around 2430, supported by buy orders below.
3. A vote on crypto-related legislation is scheduled for September 15, and the market generally expects it to be difficult to pass. With regulatory uncertainty unresolved, large funds dare not pull aggressively, which will limit the height of the rally, making a unilateral surge unlikely. $ETH $BTC @天才交易员绿毛 @OKX中文 @OKX星球 美国8月就业数据超预期强化加息押注，华尔街未现全面避险 美国8月就业数据强于预期，交易员上调对美联储9月16日会议加息的押注，美债遭抛售、美元走强，标普500周五收跌但仍录得周涨幅。与以往利率上行引发资金撤离不同，本轮债市调整尚未扩散至其他风险资产，信用利差维持低位，AI投资驱动的企业资本开支成为市场韧性的核心来源。 美国8月就业数据强于预期，显示劳动力市场韧性仍在增强，交易员随之上调对美联储9月16日会议加息的押注。受此影响，美债遭遇抛售、美元走强，标普500指数周五收跌，但仍录得周度涨幅，华尔街并未出现以往利率上行周期中常见的资金全面撤离。与以往不同的是，本轮债券市场调整尚未向其他风险资产扩散。信用利差仍处于低位，企业债与股指市场压力有限。摩根大通指出，美债流动性已出现明显恶化，但公司债ETF和股指期货市场尚未出现类似紧张迹象。市场韧性的核心来自经济增长与企业盈利，尤其是人工智能投资仍在推动科技企业维持大规模资本支出，为盈利端提供持续支撑，这也是科技股在利率压力下仍相对抗跌的关键原因。分析人士认为，当前市场真正关注的并非单次就业数据本身，而是收益率是否会出现快速上升。后续焦点将转向I currently lean towards keeping the interest rate unchanged in September.
The latest employment data is relatively strong, and the market has raised its expectations for a rate hike again. Wash's recent statements have also been hawkish, with the core emphasis still on inflation needing to continue falling back to the 2% target.
On the other hand, Trump continues to publicly call for rate cuts. Personally, I think the two have a bit of a "double act" feeling: Trump is responsible for releasing rate cut expectations and easing market pressure, while Wash is responsible for maintaining the Fed's image of fighting inflation and policy independence.
Therefore, I believe the most reasonable choice in September might be to hold steady for now while maintaining hawkish rhetoric to keep room for future policy.
The most critical factor going forward is still the CPI: if inflation rises significantly again, I will turn to expecting a 25BP rate hike; if CPI is moderate, I continue to expect no change in September. #8月非农16.2万远超预期，加息押注升温 #BTC兑黄金比率升至1月以来高位，强势能否延续？ CORE has experienced multiple unexpected risk incidents, shaking the crypto community and prompting exchanges to collectively initiate risk-avoidance measures!
Several protocol-level anomalies that should have been intercepted on testnets have consecutively occurred on the mainnet. Issues such as consensus reward logic loopholes, cryptographic vulnerabilities, and abnormal contract parameters have appeared one after another. Each incident has rattled the entire market's nerves, directly pushing major exchanges to the forefront of risk control.
When validators excessively obtain block rewards, causing the risk of token oversupply, exchanges are most concerned about losing control over token supply rules. If abnormal tokens flow into the platform, it could trigger disputes over user assets. Multiple leading platforms immediately suspended deposits and withdrawals, and some later proceeded to delist evaluations—this is a rare chain of risk-avoidance actions in the industry.
Exchanges do not react to market price fluctuations; they assess underlying network risks:
Incidents that occur occasionally can wait for a hard fork fix before resuming services; however, repeated mainnet-level accidents indicate clear shortcomings in project risk management, making it impossible to predict when the next failure will occur.
After major events, with incomplete post-mortem reviews, excessive token issuance scale, and insufficient disclosure of involved node information, exchanges cannot confirm whether the risk is truly closed, so risk-avoidance measures will continue.
Code vulnerabilities can be patched through hard forks, but the continuous unexpected incidents have caused double damage:
On one hand, the industry labels the project as high risk, significantly raising the threshold for top exchanges to re-accept it; on the other hand, community confidence continues to erode, and institutional funds actively avoid it.
Hard forks can modify on-chain code but cannot erase the record of risks that have already occurred. No matter how grand the BTCFi narrative is, the foundation of all value lies in a stable underlying network and reliable token issuance rules.美股三大股指集体收跌，AI存储芯片链逆势大涨，加密概念股全线回落 9月5日美股周五收盘，道指跌0.51%，标普500指数跌0.38%，纳指跌0.29%。特斯拉大跌5.92%，苹果、微软分别跌2.51%和2.04%；AI芯片产业链逆势走强，闪迪大涨11.9%，SK海力士涨8.14%，美光科技涨6.1%，英特尔涨4.51%；加密概念股普跌，Coinbase跌4.18%，MSTR跌1.39%。 本次美股交易日的核心特征是结构性分化。指数层面，三大股指集体收跌，但跌幅有限，属于温和回调而非恐慌性抛售。个股层面分化明显：大型科技股普遍承压，特斯拉跌5.92%，苹果跌2.51%，微软跌2.04%，拖累纳指表现。与之形成鲜明对比的是AI芯片产业链，尤其是存储方向集体走强：闪迪大涨11.9%，SK海力士涨8.14%，美光科技涨6.1%，英特尔涨4.51%。存储板块的强势与AI数据中心对NAND闪存、HBM高带宽内存及DRAM需求的持续扩张密切相关，AI算力建设正从GPU向存储环节传导景气度，成为资金关注的新主线。加密货币概念股方面全线回落：MSTR跌1.39%，CRCL跌1.14%，Coinbase跌US payrolls printed 162k jobs, nearly 3x the 56k consensus. BTC dropped in one candle from about 81.3k to a session low near 78.65k and gave back the 80k handle it had only just reclaimed. OVERVIEW The shock is the range, not a trend break. Thursday, Waller leaned toward holding rates if inflation does not jump; shorts got squeezed, BTC tagged 81.4–82.2k, ETH cleared 2.5k, US spot ETFs printed a heavy inflow day. Friday’s labor print was far hotter than expected, unemployment held 4.1%, hourlyHang Seng Tech opened with a direct plunge of two points, and Meituan's positive earnings turned into an excuse for selling; this market really makes no sense.
On the A-share side, the power sector is strengthening against the trend, with summer heat and coal price drops, funds are flocking in for risk aversion.
But the trading volume still can't rise; the stock game is just robbing Peter to pay Paul, and those chasing highs are all left hanging out in the wind at the peak.
$BTC yesterday dipped to 56,000 then pulled back, liquidating nearly 200 million USD in long positions, the bears have temporarily stopped.
However, the rebound lacks volume, the four-hour moving averages are pressing down hard, to go up it will need a sudden news shock.
Currently, the market is waiting for Friday's non-farm payroll data, expectations are low, if it surprises on the upside it could actually be positive.
$ETH wobbled along but is clearly weaker than BTC; funds now only recognize the leader, altcoin season will have to wait.
In terms of trading, don't be stubborn; at this position it's hard to go up and hard to go down, the most comfortable is to do high sell and low buy between 57,000 and 59,000.
Don't listen to those big influencers shouting 100,000; their own positions might be lighter than yours, just survive this grinding market first.
$SOL's trend is a bit stronger but still can't stand alone; the overall environment doesn't support a solo pump.
Remember, before a volume breakout, treat all rebounds as pullbacks; if you're itchy, just buy one lot to test the waters.Bitcoin has reclaimed the $80,000 mark, and market sentiment has clearly warmed, but the real test is not this single bullish candle, rather whether funds are willing to spill over from Bitcoin into the broader altcoin market. 📊 Today's US employment report is about to be released, with market expectations of approximately 56,000 new jobs and an unemployment rate possibly holding at 4.1%. This data will influence the pricing of the Federal Reserve's rate cut pace, which will then transmit through US Treasury yields and the dollar's movement to overall risk appetite. I am more concerned about the changes in market breadth after the macro data is released. If Bitcoin maintains its gains while Ethereum starts to outperform the broader market, this will be the first effective signal of liquidity sinking along the risk curve. Next, we need to observe whether Solana, XRP, and BNB can maintain relative strength, which is the second layer of evidence to judge whether rotation is truly underway. Deeper rotation signs often appear in small and mid-cap sectors: Sui, Aptos, Avalanche, NEAR, and Sei need sustained buying rather than single-day pulses; the DeFi sector should also not be absent, with trading and lending activity in Aave, Uniswap, Curve, and Pendle expected to heat up simultaneously. On the infrastructure layer, Chainlink and Ondo remain closely tied to institutional and RWA narratives, while Arbitrum and Optimism can reflect whether Layer 2 assets are attracting new funds. If risk appetite aggressively expands, AI-related Bittensor, Render, and Fetch are also worth watching. The altcoin season has neverNonfarm payrolls far exceed expectations, but semiconductors rebound?
August nonfarm payrolls increased by 162,000, significantly higher than expected. According to traditional trading logic, this should have raised the probability of a September rate hike and pushed U.S. Treasury yields higher, which would be unfavorable for high-valuation tech stocks.
However, the market did not follow this path. U.S. stocks quickly stabilized, and semiconductors actually showed notable strength.
There are two reasons:
First, the market is beginning to differentiate between "strong economy" and "high interest rates." This nonfarm report tells the market that the U.S. economy is not heading into a recession. For semiconductors, especially the AI chain, demand, CapEx, and profit growth remain strong.
Second, Trump's statement today adds a variable to monetary policy. His logic is very straightforward: with such a strong U.S. economy and credit, interest rates should be lower. He even said that if rates do not come down, trade with countries that have long-term trade surpluses with the U.S. could be reduced or even stopped.
So the focus going forward is not whether there will be a 25bp hike in September, but on how the 10-year and 30-year Treasury yields move.
If CPI continues to improve, the Fed ultimately holds steady, and the 10Y yield can stabilize around 4.8% or even decline, then today's semiconductor strength is easy to understand: AI profit growth is once again outweighing rate disturbances.
Therefore, the signal from last night's market is clear: the market currently believes more in the strength of the U.S. economy and AI profits. Whether semiconductors can continue to be strong depends next on CPI and long-term yields.
#8月非农16.2万远超预期，加息押注升温 $xSNDK $SKHYNIX Waking up late at night, the entire crypto market turned green. Coins like $ETH and $ZEC not only recovered several days of losses but also hit new phase highs. This rally was not triggered by a single factor but by a resonance of three forces in a short period. The most direct catalyst came from a shift in Federal Reserve policy expectations: US initial jobless claims rose more than expected, revealing weakness in the labor market. Fed Governor Waller then stated that if inflation cools in August, he supports keeping interest rates unchanged. CME data shows the probability of a rate hike in September dropped sharply from 63.2% to 50.4%, easing concerns about liquidity tightening and giving risk assets a breather. Meanwhile, the escalation of US-Iran military conflict pushed oil prices above $91 and gold near historic highs, strengthening Bitcoin’s narrative as "digital gold" for hedging. On the funding side, Bitcoin ETFs saw a net inflow of about $3.5 billion in August, and BitMine significantly increased its Ethereum holdings, becoming the largest corporate holder. The dovish shift in monetary policy, geopolitical risk aversion, and institutional accumulation combined to ignite this rally, but Friday’s nonfarm payroll data may still disrupt market rhythm. Risk warning: Market volatility is intense, and policy and geopolitical situations change rapidly. Please assess risks carefully and make rational decisions. Over 30 million USD pushed Zcash (privacy coin) to $1000, setting a new all-time high. It rose about 31% during the same period.
My first reaction wasn’t about how much it rose, but that the capital efficiency is somewhat exaggerated. Grayscale’s ZEC spot ETF has been listed for less than two weeks, with a net inflow of 34.4 million, enabling this established privacy coin to make history. On the BTC side, spot ETF net inflows are much larger, yet the price still grinds.
This indicates that ZEC’s rise is not just about the privacy narrative, but also the scarcity of this new ETF channel. Being the first spot exposure, this label is currently more valuable than ZEC itself in the short term.
From now on, focus on one thing: whether Grayscale’s net inflows can continue. If early allocation keeps going, underestimating it will be proven wrong; if inflows stop, the portion of this 31% driven by the ETF will likely be given back first.
No rush to say ZEC has turned around yet. An established coin being boosted by an ETF is a different matter from fundamental improvement.$CORE hard fork official announcement completed, with many promotional statements repeatedly emphasizing that mainstream exchanges have fully resumed deposits and withdrawals.
However, a large number of users report that on OKX, both deposit and withdrawal channels are restricted; deposits are estimated to be delayed until 11:00 on September 7, and withdrawals have not been reopened either. This is the core reality basis for many people feeling that some promoters are blatantly lying.
They only extract the announcement segment about the hard fork completion, deliberately hiding the key fact that the exchange wallet verification is not yet complete and that all deposits and withdrawals remain locked. They only mention that the vulnerability has been fixed, never mentioning that users currently cannot perform any on-chain transfers.
Here we need to clarify the reality.
Spot trading pairs can indeed be bought and sold normally; on-exchange trading is unaffected, but on-chain deposits and withdrawals are all suspended. The September 7 11:00 time noted in the announcement is only an estimated time without mandatory binding force, and there is still the possibility of further delays.
Both extreme views in the community are completely false.
One side deliberately downplays the locked deposit and withdrawal status, creating a false impression that everything has been fixed; the other side directly interprets it as the exchange permanently delisting.
The real situation: on-exchange trading is normal, on-chain deposit and withdrawal functions are entirely locked awaiting exchange verification, and some small and medium exchanges have already permanently delisted CORE.
The project completing the hard fork upgrade does not mean the exchange-side technical processes are simultaneously finalized. Whether you can deposit or withdraw depends on the actual status on the exchange’s page; do not blindly trust selectively presented rhetoric in the community.August nonfarm payrolls increased by 162,000, nearly three times the market expectation of 55,000, quickly offsetting July's negative growth with this strong boost. 📊 What is even more noteworthy is that June and July data were revised upward by a total of 55,000; the average monthly increase over the past 12 months was only 31,000, so the single-month performance almost matches that of the first half of the year, showing the labor market's resilience far beyond expectations.
After the data release, market bets on a September rate hike quickly heated up, rising from an even 50-50 chance to about 70-80%. There had been voices within the Federal Reserve suggesting that cooling inflation could allow a pause in rate hikes, but such a strong employment report undoubtedly adds significant weight to the hawkish stance: hot employment → rising wages → sticky inflation → policy tightening, this chain of logic tightens again. 🗣️
$BTC, $ETH, and gold came under immediate pressure and declined as the data was released, breaking the previous sideways pattern waiting for direction, with short-term sentiment clearly turning bearish. After overcoming this nonfarm hurdle, market attention will naturally shift to the September FOMC meeting, where the interest rate path remains the key variable driving risk asset pricing.
Risk warning: Market volatility increases, data impact is time-sensitive, please control your positions rationally and manage risks properly. @天才交易员绿毛 The clearest judgment in this live broadcast is treating the sharp drop of $BTC near $79,500 as a short-term abnormal fluctuation, continuing to bet on the price recovering to $80,000, and setting $81,000 as the rebound extension target. But more striking than the direction is the risk after increasing the position to 4.5 BTC: the market may rebound as expected, but heavy positions and high leverage could throw people off the ride first. The real main theme of the whole session is not "the bulls will definitely win," but that bullish logic must withstand position management. BTC: Recover $80,000 first, then talk about $81,000 During the live broadcast, he gradually increased long BTC positions around $79,500 to $79,600, believing that the dip after the non-farm payroll data had already released some sentiment, and there was still a chance for short-term upward repair. He repeatedly focused on the battle above $79,700, hoping the price would first break through the $80,000 integer mark, then push toward around $81,000. There are two conditions here that should not be mixed. The support near $79,500 only means there are temporarily buyers below; the real strong confirmation is that the price can recover and hold above $80,000, not just briefly piercing it and then falling back. If BTC cannot break through for a long time, or falls back below the entry area and breaks the rebound structure, the original bullish script must be downgraded, and one cannot force the judgment into belief by continuing to add positions. He is quite firm on the direction but also admits the position has become too heavy during the process of adding positions. The initial entry difference of one or two hundred dollars will not decide the fate of a trade; what really determines the outcome is whether the total risk after adding positions has exceeded The latest US employment data outperformed some market expectations, with about 168K new jobs added and the unemployment rate remaining at 4.2%. The strong employment performance has reignited market discussions about the Federal Reserve's policy path, also putting short-term pressure on $BTC and $ETH. But it is important to note: a single employment report is unlikely to determine the entire market trend. Next week, the market will face a series of heavyweight macroeconomic data releases, including PPI and CPI, followed by the Federal Reserve's interest rate meeting. The combination of employment, inflation, and interest rate expectations is likely to become a key catalyst for the next phase of the crypto market. 📉 If inflation continues to run high and US Treasury yields further strengthen: $BTC → watch $79.2K $ETH → watch $2,450–$2,420 If these levels are effectively broken down, it means selling pressure may be further increasing, and the market correction could deepen. 📈 But if CPI is lower than expected and the market repositions for future rate cuts, today's decline might just be a short-term "shakeout." Therefore, I am not entirely bearish at the moment. My judgment leans more towards: Early next week → increased volatility, price under pressure After CPI release → the market may choose a clearer direction The key point remains whether critical support levels hold. As long as BTC can hold near $79K and ETH stays above $2.4K, I am more inclined to define this round as a normal correction after an uptrend, rather than confirming entry into a bear market. 🔥 What really matters next isNonfarm payrolls surge, US stocks diverge: Is it genuine industrial buying or major players "pumping and dumping"?
Last night, US August nonfarm payrolls increased by 162,000, far exceeding the expected 56,000, with the previous figure revised up to 21,000. Traditionally, strong employment would trigger fears of rate hikes, putting pressure on the stock market. However, US stocks showed a "fire and ice" scenario: the three major indices slightly declined (Nasdaq down only 0.29%), while AI hardware and storage sectors surged against the trend, with the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index rising over 3%.
Is this truly genuine industrial buying, or a "pump and dump" by big capital?
On one hand, there is solid industrial logic behind this. The better-than-expected nonfarm data directly disproves recession fears, implying that AI giants' capital expenditures will not sharply decrease. As computing power bottlenecks shift toward storage and optical communications, funds are withdrawing from the "software stories" suppressed by high interest rates and flocking into the "hardware performance" track with real orders. For example, SanDisk surged nearly 12%, SK Hynix rose over 8%, and Micron Technology increased more than 6%.
On the other hand, the capital market game is equally ruthless. Facing macroeconomic headwinds, big capital uses market faith in the AI industry chain to concentrate buying in hardware leaders to stabilize the front, effectively creating the illusion that "tech stocks remain strong." Under this cover, major players can smoothly distribute overvalued software stocks. Last night, Tesla plummeted nearly 6%, Apple fell 2.51%, reflecting capital's "rotation between high and low" and risk-hedging adjustments amid rising rate expectations. On Saturday morning, I glanced at the market and couldn't help but smile — this week the crypto space seems to be led by the Federal Reserve by the nose. On Thursday night, Waller backed out, and BTC surged straight up to 81,000, ETH also touched 2,510, and the group chat was full of "bullish rebound speed." But then on Friday, the US August nonfarm payrolls came out with an increase of 162,000 (expected only 55,000), and the market instantly changed the script: the probability of a September rate hike jumped from 50% back to around 58%, the 10-year US Treasury yield peaked at 4.78%, BTC was hammered back below 79,000 in one sharp move, ETH retreated to around 2,440, giving up more than half of the previous day's gains. But would you call this a crash? Not really. BTC is grinding back and forth within the 78,000–82,000 range, ETH hovering around 2,400, SOL struggling at the hundred-dollar mark — overall, it's a "macro data market" — no one dares to chase highs, and no one is willing to truly cut losses. CoinShares' take is quite vivid: BTC's trading characteristics over the past two weeks increasingly resemble gold, with everyone betting on confidence in US debt and fiscal sustainability, not on crypto's own narrative. The altcoin side is even more interesting: ZEC privacy coin surged to around 970–1,000 USD, MARSCOIN soared 61% in one day but clearly on thin volume and controlled supply, USDT showed a 95% sell pressure ratio on Coinbase — in times like these, the more the speculative coins jump, the more it indicates that the main funds are on the sidelines. On the institutional front, it's not all bad news: OCC has preliminarily approved a1 Suddenly I understand that the 21 banks issuing stablecoins are not here to compete with USDT
Goldman Sachs, Citibank, Bank of America, UBS, Deutsche Bank, Mitsubishi UFJ, and 21 institutions joined forces on September 1st, planning to establish a joint venture in the second half of 2026, launching a US dollar stablecoin in the first half of 2027, then targeting the euro and other G7 currencies. They explicitly say they are benchmarking against the GENIUS Act and MiCA, focusing on cross-border payments and institutional settlement.
Notably, JPMorgan Chase is absent from the list. Their own JPM Coin is already running smoothly on their internal clearing network, and they are unwilling to share the pie with the alliance. Société Générale’s compliant stablecoin USDCV has been circulating for nearly a year with a volume of only about $12.6 million. When the news from Circle came out, their stock price dropped about 6%.
It suddenly dawned on me: Wall Street wants a compliant clearing layer and deposit inflows, not to compete with USDT or USDC in DeFi trading pair depth. Bank-issued coins are more like inter-institutional settlement notes, while native coins are the real circulating blood on-chain. These two tracks will coexist for a long time.
Don’t take the joint announcement as a signal that USDT is about to collapse. What really matters is who the issuer is, how the reserves are held, which public chain it runs on, and whether it can enter the main trading pairs on exchanges when it officially launches in 2027. There are already precedents of big noise but little action. Let’s first watch $BTC. #21家金融机构拟推美元稳定币 Rules need to be implemented before talking about disruption.#BTC兑黄金比率升至1月以来高位，强势能否延续？
The BTC/gold ratio has reached 18.17, hitting the highest point since January this year, indicating that currently funds prefer $BTC, outperforming physical gold. Both are rising simultaneously, driven mainly by market concerns over debt devaluation, with the digital gold narrative once again attracting capital.
However, it is important to recognize that a rising ratio does not mean a one-sided, mindless rally. If macro risks escalate sharply, funds will flee back to gold for safety, causing the ratio to quickly fall.
BTC is currently driven by macro sentiment; it depends on whether spot ETFs can sustain net inflows. Purely sentiment-driven rallies are prone to sharp pullbacks. ETH and $SOL are rebounding in tandem with the market, but incremental funds are not abundant.
The ratio is a relative strength indicator, not a direct buy signal. Do not blindly chase just because the data hits new highs. Focus on macro variables like US Treasury bonds and Federal Reserve speeches.
This is only a personal market record and does not constitute any investment advice.Last night's non-farm payrolls somewhat surprised the market. The US added 162,000 jobs in August, significantly higher than the market's previous expectation of about 50,000, and the employment data for June and July were also revised upward. The unemployment rate remained at 4.1%, indicating that the US job market is not as bad as many had previously thought. This put the market in an awkward position. Many funds had already started betting on a Fed rate cut in September, but the non-farm payrolls suddenly delivered a "counterattack." Why is this data so important? Simply put: the US economy is not yet weak enough to require a rate cut to save it. The resilience of the job market means that household income and consumption still have some support for now, so the Fed is naturally not in a hurry to cut rates. What's more troublesome is that wages rose 3.1% year-over-year, slightly lower than July's 3.2%, but still indicating that the labor market has not completely cooled down. So now the market is starting to reconsider a question: Will the Fed cut rates in September, stay on hold, or even consider raising rates? After the non-farm payrolls release, US Treasury yields rose, the dollar strengthened, gold came under pressure, and market expectations for a September rate hike clearly increased. Reuters data showed that the market at one point priced the probability of a September rate hike close to 60%. For the crypto space, this is not particularly good news. Because what BTC needs most right now, frankly, is liquidity. The stronger the rate cut expectations, the lower the cost of dollar funding, and the easier it is for market risk appetite to rise, benefiting high-volatility assets like BTC and ETH.$ETH Ethereum Real-Time Market

#14U Zero-Threshold Crypto Market Real Trading Perspective | Macro Overhang, Capital Clustering in Local Hotspots
Recently, the crypto market has been very fragmented: the overall market is sideways and volatile, while the AI sector has developed an independent trend. The root cause lies in macro uncertainty.
At the Jackson Hole Symposium, the Federal Reserve released a hawkish signal; inflation has fallen less than expected, and the probability of a rate hike at the September meeting has risen steadily. U.S. Treasury yields remain high, suppressing valuations of all risk assets. BTC surged 25% in August, breaking above 80,000. Just as everyone expected the trend to continue, rate hike expectations intensified, causing BTC to oscillate around the 80,000 mark with mixed bullish and bearish forces, washing out a large number of high-leverage traders.
Geopolitically, crude oil prices have risen, risk-off sentiment fluctuates, and large funds dare not bet unilaterally on mainstream coins, so they choose to cluster around niche narratives. AI + crypto (DeFAI) has recently been continuously catalyzed by news; the heat around AI agents and decentralized computing power keeps fermenting. AI tokens like GRASS, ENJ, RENDER, and FET have shown alternating movements, creating local trends diverging from the overall market.
The current market is not a full bull market but a rotation of hotspots within existing capital:
There is not enough liquidity to support all coins; funds have flowed out partially from BTC and ETH to chase small sectors with stories. The heat comes fast and fades fast.
My 14U real trading just happened to hit the harsh truth of this market cycle: Good morning Air Force brothers, the non-farm payroll data came out last night, and the probability of a rate hike has significantly increased.
Logically, the market should have fallen, but last night the US stock market still surged, while BTC and others fell. What does this mean?
Honestly, as someone who is short, I am a bit confused.
In August, non-farm payrolls increased by 162,000, while the market expected only 56,000, nearly three times the expectation, and the unemployment rate remained at 4.1%. After the data was released, the probability of a rate hike in September clearly rose, and the market suddenly started worrying about tightening liquidity.
But the strange thing is, although the US stock market ultimately closed slightly lower, with the Dow down 0.51%, the S&P down 0.38%, and the Nasdaq down 0.29%, some tech and AI stocks on the board remained very strong, completely lacking the panic sell-off I expected.
On the contrary, BTC was more direct, quickly falling below $80,000 after the non-farm announcement, reaching as low as around $79,200 at one point.
So my biggest question now is: with rate hike expectations already heating up again, why is the market still so resilient?
My view remains bearish. It may just be the market holding on hard now; the real test is still ahead. If next week's CPI and PPI continue to exceed expectations, I don't believe these high-valuation assets can hold up much longer.
#8月非农16.2万远超预期，加息押注升温 There’s a side of trading that rarely gets discussed: the psychological cost of being wrong for a long time.
$SOL going from $280 to $103 was not just a drawdown on a portfolio.
It was months of asking myself whether I was making the right decision by continuing to hold.
The advantage of spot was that I wasn't facing liquidation. I could step away, sell, or wait. I chose to wait.
But before that, I made almost every timing mistake possible.
When $SOL was moving from $180 toward $240 and the market was filled with $300–$350 predictions, I kept shorting.
The trend kept going higher.
Every short became another lesson.
Eventually, around $243, I was nearly out of capital. I switched direction around $248 and went long.
That was the moment I realized something uncomfortable:
Sometimes the problem isn't the asset.
It's your ability to recognize when your thesis is no longer working.
I later experienced something similar with $ETH around $4,700.
Looking back, I don't regret every decision because mistakes are part of trading. What I regret is refusing to adapt quickly enough.
The market doesn't care how confident you are.
It doesn't care how much research you've done.
And it definitely doesn't care about your entry price.
$SOL may return to $280 someday, or it may take much longer than expected.
Either way, the real value of this position is the lesson.
Don't let stubbornness turn a trading idea into an emotional attachment.
Protect capital. Respect the trend. Accept being wrong early.
Risk warning: Crypto remains highly volatile. This is personal experience, not financial advice.
$SOL $ETHAfter the US nonfarm payroll data came out yesterday, $BTC ultimately still couldn't hold above $80,000.
August nonfarm payrolls increased by 162,000, significantly higher than the market expectation of 56,000, with the unemployment rate steady at 4.1%.
The employment data was much stronger than expected, reigniting market expectations for a rate hike in September, and BTC quickly fell back below $80,000.
Earlier, BTC had just reclaimed $80,000, and what I was most focused on was whether this level could truly turn from resistance into support.
Now it seems the first attempt was unsuccessful.
However, I won't immediately turn bearish just because it fell below $80,000 this time.
I am more inclined to believe that $80,000 has now returned to a battleground between bulls and bears, rather than being a confirmed support level.
The short-term strength of the previous breakout needs to be discounted first.
Looking ahead, the focus remains on $80,000.
If BTC can quickly reclaim this level, it indicates that the selling pressure brought by the nonfarm data might still be digestible by the market.
Below, watch for support around $78,000–$79,000.
If $80,000 is not recovered soon and the downside continues to weaken, then the previous rebound cannot be viewed with the same strength as before.
So my current judgment is simple:
Falling below $80,000 is not yet a signal to turn bearish, but $80,000 can no longer be considered a firmly established support.
Whether it can be reclaimed will be more important than the drop itself yesterday.
#8月非农16.2万远超预期，加息押注升温 What does it mean that many exchanges have delisted and suspended CORE deposits?
1. Why do exchanges suspend deposits and withdrawals and execute delisting?
The primary responsibility of centralized exchanges is to protect platform users, with a set of strict evaluation criteria: underlying public chain consensus, token issuance mechanism, network stability, and risk disclosure transparency are all core assessment items.
1. The underlying protocol repeatedly experiences mainnet-level risks, triggering the highest level of risk control alerts.
CORE has repeatedly encountered consensus reward logic vulnerabilities, resulting in validator over-mining and token over-issuance risks, which are fundamental incidents directly impacting the token supply rules.
Exchanges fear losing control over token issuance rules the most; once abnormal token issuance occurs, it directly disrupts the asset value of holders. When such incidents happen, the first action is to suspend deposits and withdrawals to prevent node forks and abnormal token deposits entering the platform, which could cause disputes over platform and user assets.
2. It is not just a one-time incident but repeated occurrences of similar problems.
For a single vulnerability, the project urgently hard forks to fix it, and exchanges generally observe before resuming services.
However, CORE has repeatedly exposed mainnet vulnerabilities that should have been intercepted on the testnet. In the exchange’s evaluation system, this indicates structural shortcomings in the project’s testing, auditing, and risk control processes—not just occasional bugs but a possibility of future incidents. I'm leaning towards shorting this wave of $BTC on the rebound; if it can't hold above 80k, I'll treat it as weak first. Last night, US non-farm payrolls increased by 162,000, while the expectation was only 53,000. Once the data came out, BTC dropped about 2.5% in an hour, falling from around 81.3k down to 79.1k. Employment is too strong, so the market naturally worries that the Fed won't be in a hurry to cut rates. Then a hawkish figure posted urging the Fed to cut rates and even threatened to sThe logic behind why Bitcoin suddenly surged this round isn't that complicated.
First, the market's expectations for a Fed rate hike in September have started to cool down.
Fed Governor Waller recently took a dovish stance, indicating that if subsequent inflation data continues to ease, he prefers to keep interest rates unchanged.
The market's previous concerns about further tightening have begun to ease, causing the dollar and U.S. Treasury yields to fall back, naturally giving risk assets some breathing room.
Second, a significant number of short positions had accumulated during the prior decline.
So this rally isn't entirely driven by new funds; once the price quickly breaks through key levels, short stop-losses and forced liquidations turn into buying pressure, further pushing the market upward.
A large amount of short liquidation has already occurred during this rally.The US added 162K nonfarm payroll jobs in August, far exceeding the market expectation of about 56K, with the unemployment rate holding steady at 4.1%. Meanwhile, average hourly earnings rose 3.1% year-over-year, indicating the labor market remains resilient. This data has reignited expectations for a Fed rate hike in September, strengthening the US dollar and Treasury yields, which has also put short-term pressure on $BTC and $ETH. The market currently prices the probability of a September rate hike back up to about 60%, but this does not necessarily mean prices will continue to fall next week. The real test is still ahead. 📅 Key events to watch next week: • September 10: US PPI • September 11: US CPI • September 15–16: FOMC rate decision and policy guidance If inflation remains stubborn and yields continue to rise, risk assets may face further pressure. My short-term observation range: 🔹 $BTC: Watch $79.2K; if broken, may test $77.5K 🔹 $ETH: Watch $2,450; if broken, next target is $2,380 However, if CPI cools significantly, the market may reprice rate cut expectations, and today's decline could be quickly reversed. My current judgment: The first half of next week may continue to be weak and volatile, with volatility likely to increase noticeably. The real determinant of the next directional move may not be NFP, but whether CPI can provide a strong enough cooling signal. In my view, $79.2 #NonfarmColdWater #ExpectationAdjustment
**1️⃣ Opening Tone**
The nonfarm payrolls hit like a sucker punch, pushing BTC down from above 81,000 to 79,500 — I judge this as a typical "expectations fully priced then reality correction" weak pullback. The market just bet on a perfect Fed rate cut in September, but the data gave a sharp slap: You want to ease? First, take a dip.
---
**2️⃣ Core Logic Chain**
Today I’ll focus on one thing: **The nonfarm employment data killed the short-term premium on the "dovish narrative."**
What was the market originally betting on? BTC surged to 82,200 before the nonfarm report, pricing in "US economic cooling → Fed rate cut in September → liquidity easing → risk assets take off." In August, US BTC ETF net inflows hit $3.5 billion, a yearly high; short covering plus spot buying kept the price welded above 80,000. Funding rates instantly turned positive, long-short ratio maxed out — pure FOMO.
Then the nonfarm data dropped. The data wasn’t that bad — employment didn’t collapse, wages weren’t soft enough to make the Fed immediately yield. The market reacted honestly: BTC plunged from 82,200 straight down to 78,600, with a daily swing over $3,600. **Dovish expectations were discounted, BTC retreated from "rate cut priced in" back to "rate cut pending confirmation."** Funds aren’t fleeing, they’re repricing: before the September 15 FOMC, no one dares to bet all chips on longs. The September 11 CPI is the next real pricing anchor; before that, the premium above 80,000 is a castle in the air.

**3️⃣ Mainstream Coin Stratification**
- **BTC**: Down 1.83% in 24h, closing near 79,500, daily low 78,600. The 81,000-82,500 range is a welded iron ceiling; 78,600 is today’s floor. HashWhale weekly report shows whales took profits of nearly $4 billion last week, the largest since February 2025 — strong hands are selling to weak hands. A giant whale dormant for 8 years deposited 400 BTC to OKX, made $30 million and ran. Don’t chase short-term, wait for CPI.
- **ETH**: Down 1.97% in 24h, closing at 2,455, weaker than BTC. ETH ETFs are seeing outflows, gas activity lacks highlights, 2,500 is resistance. ETH/BTC ratio continues weakening; this rebound is BTC dragging ETH, not ETH standing on its own. Avoid.
- **SOL**: Down 2.9% in 24h, closing at 101.6, biggest drop. High volatility means high risk — it falls more when it falls. The 100 round number is a psychological floor; if broken, look toward 90. Short-term trading possible, no overnight holds.
---
**4️⃣ Sector Quick Review**
**Strong:** ZEC (+14.5%, broke $1,000, driven by institutional entry + short liquidations); HYPE (+3.8%, new star in perpetual contracts, funds betting on high Beta volatility); stablecoin total market cap hits new high at 283.7 billion, DeFi TVL rises to 76.5 billion with 24h volume +4.18% — funds haven’t left, just hiding in safe harbors.
**Weak:** XRP (-3.9%, biggest drop, narrative fading and funds withdrawing); SOL ecosystem tokens down 3%+; Meme sector volume shrinks with steady decline, DOGE lacks support.
Funds’ intent in one sentence: **No attack, no escape, shrinking into stablecoins and mainstream coins to bunker down.** Typical weekend low volume risk-off mode, not bottom fishing, just waiting for signals.
---
**5️⃣ Liquidations and Funding**
24h total liquidations about $700 million, a 43.55% surge from the previous day, longs account for 60% — the nonfarm spike specifically killed leveraged long positions. Overall long-short ratio 50.2:49.8, almost even; longs haven’t given up but dare not add. BTC funding rate 0.0065-0.009%, slightly positive but far from extreme, leverage sentiment is neutral. Total contract open interest $141.65 billion (+2.5%), open interest rising not falling, indicating leverage positions remain and could be cleaned out again anytime.
Whale activity signals red: exchange whale ratio 0.99 (near full score), large BTC inflows to exchanges continue — this is on-chain fingerprint of short-term selling pressure. Sentiment judgment: **Neutral leaning panic, long leverage has been taught a lesson but far from extreme panic bottom signal.**
---
**6️⃣ Tomorrow’s Trading Tips**
① **Positioning:** Reduce and observe. Weekend liquidity thin, nonfarm aftershocks not gone, CPI lands September 11, no adding before then.
② **Leverage advice:** Low leverage or no position. Weekend spikes likely, high leverage equals handing money to market makers.
③ **Key levels:** BTC support 78,600 (today’s low), break targets 73,700-75,200; resistance 81,000-82,500. ETH support 2,430, break target 2,400; resistance 2,530-2,546.
④ **Key events:** US CPI data September 11 (this week’s real pricing anchor); September 15 FOMC meeting; keep monitoring whale deposits to exchanges for acceleration.
⑤ **Core risk:** September is the "curse month" with 8 declines in 13 years for crypto, combined with whale $4 billion profit-taking wave and weekend thin liquidity — if CPI surprises again, 78,600 won’t hold, below is a vacuum zone.
⑥ The market isn’t betting on whether rates cut or not, but **who blinks first** — Powell or you. Don’t gamble before he blinks.

*Data sources: CoinGlass / CoinMarketCap / Gate / HashWhale / 120BTC | Data update: 2026-09-05 08:00 UTC+8*For this round of DOS on OKX Flash Earn Lite, I think the focus is not just on the words "650,000 DOS prize pool." OKX announced on September 4 that DOS (DAPPOS) Flash Earn Lite is now open, allowing users to participate in Stake to Earn using BTC, OKB, or DOS. The pre-subscription starts at 07:00 UTC on September 5, and the official reward calculation window is from 07:00 UTC on September 10 to 07:00 UTC on September 15. The total prize pool is 650,000 DOS, with the BTC pool at 487,500 DOS, the OKB pool at 110,500 DOS, and the DOS pool at 52,000 DOS. Here's a detail worth noting: starting this round, supported assets can be directly deducted from Simple Earn Flexible. Previously, participating in Flash Earn Stake to Earn mainly deducted funds from the funding account or trading account; now, if Simple Earn Flexible is selected, the system will deduct funds in the order of "funding account > trading account > Simple Earn Flexible," and if insufficient, it will automatically redeem from the flexible savings to make up the difference. This is very convenient for existing users but can easily be overlooked. You might think you are just clicking
