As soon as the US PPI was released
The probability of a rate hike in September was directly pushed to around 70%
Risk assets can't afford to spin stories
First, deleveraging, Bitcoin fell below 77,000
It even touched around 76,700 intraday
Ethereum dropped below 2,500
Then hovered just above 2,400
Falling for two consecutive days
It's like someone switched the risk dial from wait-and-see to reducing positions; Dogecoin, a high Beta meme
This time it didn't hold up better
It had already slid from around 0.10 to 0.086 before the PPI release
After the data came out, it nudged around 0.084
It's not that it suddenly got stronger this time
It fell earlier
And fell more fragmented
Tipcoin's first reaction to rate hike expectations
Is never to hold firm
But to quiet down the hype first. SOL is more like an embarrassment
The ecosystem is still active
Transactions on-chain continue
But the price honestly follows the decline
Falling below around 100
The heat and the candlestick chart are temporarily not in the same room, so this round's layering is very clear
$BTC is the barometer, breaking first
ETH is the tech stock, shrinking along
SOL is the narrative still ongoing, but price moves first
$DOGE is high Beta, pre-spent its decline
Still couldn't be a safe haven. The next blow is tonight's CPI
PPI has already raised the probability of a rate hike
If CPI heats up again
The first to ring is probably not the most stable one
But the one with the tightest leverage
The loudest mouth
And the worst sleepBond Market Moves Ahead of CPI Night: BTC Falls Below 77,000, SOL Drops Under 100, Is Your Long Position Still Safe?
Good afternoon, brothers. In the last few hours before the CPI release, the market has already given its direction in advance.
BTC is currently around $76,900, down over 1.7% in 24 hours, declining for the fourth consecutive trading day, with an intraday low of 76,410. ETH is relatively resilient, trading around $2,445. SOL has directly fallen below the 100 mark, now about $99.3, down nearly 3% on the day.
Funds are fleeing, longs are bleeding.
📊 Market Overview
Asset Current Price 24h Change Key Levels
BTC ~76,900 -1.7% Support 76,400, Resistance 77,800
ETH ~2,445 -0.5% Support 2,400, Resistance 2,480
SOL ~99.3 -2.9% Support 96.2, Resistance 100.8
ZEC ~1,060 -13% Retracing previous gains, Support 1,000
💥 Macro Pressure: Bond Market Acts First
The 10-year US Treasury yield has risen to 4.94%, approaching the 5% threshold. Brent crude oil has surpassed $100 per barrel. These two figures combined represent the entire current market logic.
The US-Iran conflict continues to escalate, with Iran expanding its retaliation beyond the Strait of Hormuz, attacking oil tankers and intensifying supply disruption concerns. High oil prices directly push up inflation expectations, reinforcing the tightening narrative.
Last night’s PPI data fully exceeded expectations (YoY 5.4%), and the market’s pricing probability for a 25 basis point rate hike on September 16 has risen to 70%. Rate hike expectations directly increase the real yield of the dollar, weakening BTC’s appeal as a non-yielding asset.
Tonight at 20:30, August CPI data will be released. The market expects an overall YoY of 3.4%, core YoY 2.4%. If the data is hot, rate hike pricing will be confirmed, and BTC may test 75,000-75,500; if the data is moderate, there is a chance to turn the breach of 77,000 into a false breakdown.
💥 Liquidation Data: Long Positions Account for 80%
According to Coinglass data, $446 million worth of liquidations occurred across the network in the past 24 hours, with $352 million from long positions and only $93.94 million from shorts, longs accounting for about 79%. Globally, 93,727 people were liquidated, with the largest single liquidation on Bitget - ETHUSDT, valued at $22.63 million.
Bitcoin long liquidations totaled $111 million, Ethereum long liquidations $74.01 million, with the liquidation wave mainly concentrated in the Asian morning session.
⚠️ Your Position Risk Warning
SOL longs have reached the most dangerous moment.
SOL is currently at $99.3, only about $3 above the liquidation price of $96.24. If tonight’s CPI exceeds expectations and SOL falls another 3%, this long position will be forcibly liquidated, and the $16.38 margin will be wiped out.
Stop loss must be set. It is recommended to place a stop loss order at 96.5 (just above the liquidation price); if it breaks below, accept the loss and exit. Do not hold until liquidation, do not fantasize that CPI will definitely be bullish. If CPI is bullish and rebounds to 101-102, it is also recommended to reduce or close positions first; do not fight the market.
SNDK shorts are currently the only hedge; continue holding, move stop loss up to 1,700, and take profit targets are 1,650-1,660.
📌 Summary
On the eve of CPI, the bond market and oil prices jointly exert pressure, long liquidations account for 80%, and market sentiment shifts from "greed" to "neutral." BTC has declined for four consecutive days, SOL has fallen below 100, and risks are concentrating and releasing.
At 20:30 tonight, CPI will reveal the outcome. Before the data lands, do not heavily bet on direction, and do not hold onto losing positions with hope. Staying alive means having the next opportunity.
Brothers, how are you preparing to respond tonight? Let’s discuss in the comments👇#新手必看：这里有你需要的一切 #PPI高于预期，今晚CPI定方向 $BTC $SOL $BTC The 82,000 mountain, why can't it be bitten through? The chip structure reveals the truth
Previously, BTC repeatedly tested 82,000, each time surging up only to be pushed back down, leaving many people confused. The chip structure has long laid out the resistance clearly because there are three layers of "selling mountain" piled up at this level.
The first layer comes from short-term holders (STH), whose costs mostly range from 59,000 to 81,000. Once the price touches 82,000, it means all short-term positions are fully profitable.
Everyone wants to pocket the profits they have in hand, so a large amount of speculative funds will directly choose to take profits and exit, causing the first wave of selling pressure to hit hard.
The second layer is long-term holders (LTH). Don't assume that all long-term holders are die-hard believers. Many LTHs are essentially trapped at high levels and have passively become long-term chips.
Their chip peak is firmly pressed between 81,000 and 82,000. When the price approaches their cost break-even line, many are eager to quickly exit to break even, which forms the second layer of selling pressure.
The most troublesome is the third layer, which is the stronghold of super whales. Large holders with over 100,000 coins mostly cluster their positions between 78,000 and 82,000, except for a small amount of chips around 4,000.
The chips of large funds represent the market's voice; whoever has the stronger fist controls the gate.
Therefore, 82,000 is a solid and real barrier in the short term. To break through, the market must spend time digesting this pile of disagreements and selling pressure; it cannot be easily overcome by one or two waves of rallies.
However, everything has two sides.
If the market subsequently gathers enough strength and funds collectively bite through this chip mountain, effectively holding above 82,000, the heavy trapped positions above will be directly cleared, the resistance ahead will significantly dissipate, and the market will usher in a broad and smooth space.🚨 Bitcoin: The Real Risk Is Coming From Macro Short-term price movements can be misleading. Right now, the bigger threat to $BTC is no longer coming primarily from the crypto market itself—it is coming from the global macro environment. Bitcoin is hovering near the $78K area, but the external backdrop is becoming increasingly difficult. 🌍 Energy + Geopolitics Are Raising Inflation Risks Geopolitical tensions and disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz have pushed energy markets higher, with Br🚨#PPI higher than expected, tonight's CPI will set the direction
CPI pulls the trigger tonight: PPI first cools down the market, will BTC squat deeply or reverse?
PPI exceeded expectations, inflation alarm rings again, tonight's CPI is the short-term lifeline. BTC is repeatedly tugging in a key range, leverage heat is fading, funds are holding back, waiting for a data bullet to set the direction. Bulls dare not chase, bears dare not heavily position, everyone is waiting for CPI to clear the fog.
If CPI is flat or below expectations, inflation pressure eases, the data may first create a dip, completing a healthy pullback in the early stage of bear-to-bull transition. Not breaking 7.4-7.5 means giving bulls a chance to reverse, and a recovery rally may start.
If CPI exceeds expectations, rate hike concerns intensify, the current rally logic is hurt, BTC may continue to weaken, previous lows or even lower cannot be ruled out.
The underlying logic is: PPI has cooled rate cut expectations, CPI heats up again, the dollar and real interest rates strengthen, risk assets are pressured; if CPI is controlled, the market trades on expectation repair. The key is not the data itself, but the reaction around 7.4-7.5 after the data: holding means partial recovery, breaking means deeper correction. This is not just data trading, but a repricing of expectations and interest rates.
Personally, I lean towards controlled CPI, first squatting then recovering, with a slightly higher probability; the risk of exceeding expectations is slightly lower but not impossible. Hold positions first, let the data speak tonight. Volatility may be intense overnight, position sizing and stop-loss are more important than predictions. Just a personal view, not investment advice.
#财报观察员：甲骨文AI云收入增121% 9.11 | BTC and ETH Early Session Thoughts
Today's trading idea is very clear: mainly short on rebounds at high levels, absolutely no chasing longs before the CPI release.
BTC is currently consolidating around 76800. Yesterday's PPI year-on-year at 5.4% exceeded expectations, combined with international oil prices breaking 100, pushing up imported inflation. The market immediately dropped from 78900 to 76500. After consecutive failed attempts above 80000, long leverage has been heavily liquidated. More importantly, the hot PPI has pushed the probability of a Fed rate hike in September above 70%[2,4](@ref), indicating tightening macro liquidity. If tonight's US August CPI (expected YoY 3.4%, MoM 0.4%) comes in hotter again, the rate hike expectation will be fully cemented, and BTC is very likely to break down.
ETH is currently around 2440, moving in sync with BTC, but there is still buying support in the 2350-2400 range, showing slightly stronger resilience.
Tonight's 20:30 CPI release is the last piece of the puzzle before the data. If core inflation does not decline, BTC may retest 76500 at any time, with an extreme scenario down to 75000; if the data eases, it will relieve hawkish pressure.
BTC: Short in batches between 77500-78500, target 75000-76500.
ETH: Short between 2470-2520, target 2320-2410.
Risk control: If BTC breaks out with volume above 82300, all short positions are invalidated; never stubbornly hold against the trend.
What do you think after the CPI release, will BTC first go to 75000 or directly rebound to 80000?Everyone is watching daily $BTC ETF flows. ETF outflow = “institutions are selling.” ETF inflow = “institutions are buying.” But the Q2 13F data tells a much more complicated story. 👀 During Q2, total BTC held by U.S. spot ETFs fell about 6.6%, while institutional holdings reported through 13F filings increased 7.5%, from roughly 498K BTC to 536K BTC. Institutional ownership reached a record ~44.2% of spot BTC ETF holdings, even though Bitcoin itself fell roughly 14% during the quarter. That meOnly 4 days left until the procedural vote, and the moral clause remains unchanged; the Democrats have already declared this their dealbreaker.
The updated text changed three parts: non-decentralized DeFi protocols must register with the CFTC, DeFi provisions are limited to spot or cash digital commodity trading, and credit unions are granted explicit crypto business permissions.
The problem is, all the changes are minor details; the real sticking points—the moral clause and stablecoin yield provisions—haven't been touched at all.
The Democrats want to restrict the president from profiting from crypto, the Republicans say they've already added that, and the Democrats say it's far from enough.
Trump himself made 1.4 billion from crypto and is pushing to pass the bill before September 15; this situation is awkward in itself.
In 4 days, the Senate needs to gather 60 votes, and the probability of passage on Polymarket has dropped to only 13% to 18%.
The text update is just a gesture, but the core disagreements remain unresolved; I feel the bill most likely won't pass.
#CLARITY替代修正案公布，贝森特呼吁参院推进 #PPI高于预期，今晚CPI定方向 $BTC I just said in the previous message that I’m not planning to add positions for now; I’ll wait for $BTC to firmly establish its footing.
But today, besides watching BTC’s trend, I’m also waiting for a more important signal—the US August CPI tonight.
Yesterday, the PPI year-over-year already reached 5.4%. After the data release, the market’s pricing for a 25 basis point Fed rate hike in September has risen to about 70%.
Tonight, the market expects CPI year-over-year at 3.4%, and core CPI month-over-month at 0.2%.
So what I’m most focused on tonight isn’t whether the CPI is "high or low," but whether it significantly exceeds market expectations.
If core CPI continues to surpass expectations, I think both BTC and US stocks will face short-term pressure, and I won’t rush to add back the high-volatility positions I just reduced.
If the data basically meets expectations, I will first observe how the market moves.
After all, rate hike expectations have already heated up in advance; if the data isn’t worse, the market may not continue to trade in a bearish direction.
If CPI is significantly lower than expected, and BTC can also stabilize and rebound on the four-hour chart, that would be the signal for me to seriously consider the next position addition.
So today, I still choose to wait.
My positions have already been adjusted; I’m not in a hurry to guess the CPI in advance, nor to chase BTC’s short-term rebound.
I’ll wait for tonight’s data release and then see what answer the market gives.
#PPI高于预期，今晚CPI定方向
$ETH $SOL On the "card playing" philosophy in trading.
Ignoring fundamentals is like playing cards without counting them; neglecting technical analysis is like playing cards without looking at them. Studying fundamentals is about understanding what your opponent is thinking, while studying technicals is about understanding what your opponent is doing. Combining these two, using fundamentals to guide technical analysis, often yields twice the result with half the effort.
Take Bitcoin as an example: on-chain data combined with candlestick technical analysis often captures unexpected bottom signals.
In November 2018, the first green bottom signal appeared, with the price around $4304. Later, by November 2021, it surged to a high of $67,542, an increase of over $60,000, approximately 1469% $BTC.
In January 2022, another green bottom appeared, with the price around $43,207. Later, by October 2025, it reached a high of $124,824, an increase of over $80,000, approximately 189%.
Looking at this cycle, the first green appeared on June 21 this year, with the price around $63,365. As of September 10, it was about $78,146, an increase of approximately 23.3%.
History does not simply repeat itself, but these bottom signals are very clear in their indication. They don't tell you to guess the lowest point, but rather that the chips in that range are already cheap enough.
The current market is exactly in a period of intensive macro data, with PPI, CPI, and next week's FOMC all bringing volatility. But if you look long-term, the green bottom zones are often used for gradually building positions.
What do you all think about the potential space this green signal in this cycle can reach? Let's discuss in the comments. Wishing you smooth trading.Last night in the article I said one thing: the probability of a rate hike jumped from 64% to 70%, marking a quantitative to qualitative change. As soon as I finished speaking, today it directly hit 71.3% — even surpassing the qualitative change threshold. So what's the market status now? BTC climbed back from the 76,500 low to above 77,000, seemingly stabilizing, but look at the outside: the 30-year US Treasury yield soared to 5.368%, a new high since 2007; US stocks have fallen four days in a row; oil prices rose 6% in a single day again. This is not just a market issue, it's a global risk asset contraction — the rate hike pricing is already on the table, just waiting for tonight's CPI to sign off. ETH is also very representative here: it bounced from 2404 back to 2465, the 1-hour MACD showed a red bar, looking like a recovery, but the resistance at 2478 and 2495 is pressing down, so it’s stuck, all depending on the CPI mood. My attitude is straightforward: if CPI isn’t cool, 77,000 is just a false rebound, if 76,500 can’t hold, then look to 75,000; but if CPI surprisingly gives a good result, with an annual rate below 3.4%, the 71.3% rate hike probability will instantly retreat, and 76,500 will be the low point of this wave. Tonight at 20:30 it will be decided once and for all. Saying this upfront: don’t rush before the data comes out, let the bullet fly a while. #OKX预言家：来星球玩预测 $SNDK (SanDisk) Market Analysis: Consolidation or End of the Trend?
First, to clarify: SNDK is a tokenized version of SanDisk (SNDK.US) US stock (1:1 pegged to the underlying US stock), and its price movement basically follows the US stock. Below is an objective summary based on on-chain/contract data plus US stock data.
1. Current Position: High-level stagnation, no new highs
Latest price $1,692.6 (2026-09-10)
Core contradiction: After surging to 1827 in mid-August, it peaked and retreated; in early September, it rebounded from 1288 to 1740 on 9/4, but from 9/8 to 9/10 it closed down three consecutive days (1807→1738→1764→1693), representing a high-level oscillation after a surge without effectively breaking the previous high.
2. Bull and Bear Signal Breakdown
🟢 Bullish bias (basis for consolidation theory)
Moving averages in bullish alignment: MA5(1698) ≈ current price, MA10(1612), MA20(1597), MA60(1622) all bullish, trend structure intact
MACD still golden cross: DIF(56) > DEA(31), red bars (49.7) remain, daily-level bullish trend unbroken
Strong fundamental support: AI storage logic (NAND supply-demand gap, enterprise SSD demand), non-GAAP gross margin target near 80%, long-term contracts locking capacity, expected passive buying of about $3 billion upon inclusion in S&P 100 on 9/22
🔴 Bearish bias (basis for peak theory)
Volume surge with stagnation: On 9/8, huge volume of $19.8 billion but price fell, showing "volume without price increase" at high levels, a typical divergence signal
KDJ high level: J value 86.4, entering overbought zone, short-term overheating
Volume contraction on rebounds: Each rebound's volume continuously shrinks, weak signs of long-term capital inflow
Extremely small circulating supply: Token circulation only about 1,000 units, small capital can manipulate price, lack of real support means rapid decline when selling pressure appears
Data is complete. Based on real-time market, candlesticks, and technical indicators, here is an objective analysis.
$SNDK (SanDisk) Market Analysis: Consolidation or End of the Trend?
⚠️ To clarify: SNDK is a tokenized version of SanDisk (SNDK.US) US stock (1:1 pegged to the underlying US stock), and its price movement basically follows the US stock. The following is an objective summary based on on-chain/contract plus US stock data and does not constitute investment advice.
1. Current Position: High-level stagnation, no new highs
Latest price $1,692.6 (2026-09-10), key background:
Indicator Meaning Historical High (ATH) $1,827 (8/17) Current price vs previous high -7.4% 52-week high $2,354 (6/22) Distance from absolute high -28% Range increase 8/12→9/10 +33% Sharp rise then pullback
Core contradiction: After surging to 1827 in mid-August, it peaked and retreated; in early September, it rebounded from 1288 to 1740 on 9/4, but from 9/8 to 9/10 it closed down three consecutive days (1807→1738→1764→1693), representing a high-level oscillation after a surge without effectively breaking the previous high.
2. Bull and Bear Signal Breakdown

Volume contraction on rebounds: Each rebound's volume continuously shrinks, weak signs of long-term capital inflow
Extremely small circulating supply: Token circulation only about 1,000 units, small capital can manipulate price, lack of real support means rapid decline when selling pressure appears
3. Key Price Levels (watch these closely)
Resistance above: 1827 (previous high) → 1900-2000 (round number, Wedbush target 2000) Current price: 1692 Support below: 1480 (short-term strong support) → 1280 (extreme defense)
4. Conclusion: Leaning towards "high-level consolidation," but needs verification
Overall, it looks more like "high-level oscillation consolidation after a sharp rise" rather than the end of the trend, reasons:
Trend structure (bullish moving averages + MACD golden cross) not yet broken;
AI storage fundamentals + expected passive buying remain;
But must break below 1480 to consider consolidation failed, breaking below likely means the trend ends
Judgment criteria (let price choose direction):
✅ Consolidation then breakout: volume surge to hold above 1827 → opens space for 2000+
❌ End of trend: effective break below 1480 (especially on low volume) → trend reversal
📌 Trading tip: Currently in a "post-decline repair phase, not a confirmed reversal phase," control position size and keep ammunition until volume convincingly breaks above 1827. If BTC continues to drain liquidity, US stock tokens may also be drained; monitor BTC and SKHYNIX linkage simultaneously.

1. The Throne: NVIDIA — No True Replacement, But Market Share Diluted
Main Products: Blackwell B200/GB200, Next-Gen Rubin Architecture
1. Hardware: Controls over half of TSMC's advanced CoWoS packaging capacity, deeply integrated with SK Hynix HBM4 high-bandwidth memory, capable of training trillion-parameter large models; currently no competitor can fully match this.
2. The real moat is not the chip but the CUDA full-stack software ecosystem: compiler, operator libraries, inference engine, and a community of millions of developers. Hardware can be caught up to, but the software ecosystem requires years or even over a decade to build.
3. Current Status: Global data center GPU revenue share is 80-85%; almost monopolizes the ultra-large model training market. However, its share is slowly declining—not due to fewer orders, but because the overall compute market is expanding rapidly, and competitors are capturing the incremental market rather than directly taking NVIDIA's existing share.
4. Weaknesses: High price, supply constrained by HBM and CoWoS capacity; inference market is being eroded by specialized chips, AMD, and domestic chips.
2. The Primary Challenger: AMD — The Most Promising General-Purpose GPU Competitor
Main Products: MI300X, next-gen MI400/MI450, Chiplet multi-chip architecture
1. Hardware: HBM capacity and cluster interconnect capabilities close to NVIDIA's equivalent products; focuses on cost-performance ratio, with large-scale procurement by Microsoft and Meta, rapidly scaling in large model inference and medium-scale training. $ARB This surge relies on two temporary tickets that are about to expire!
ARB has risen from 0.083 to 0.206 this round, more than doubling. But the two things supporting it both expire at the end of September.
First ticket: Robinhood Chain's 90-day gas subsidy ends at the end of September. Previously, it generated $2.9 million in daily fees, with Arbitrum taking 10%. Once the subsidy stops, we'll see how much is real demand and how much was just free volume.
Second ticket: 92.63 million tokens unlock on September 16, and 123.5 million tokens unlock on September 23, totaling over $35 million in new supply within one week.
Moreover, more than half of this price increase was leveraged — $ARB's open interest surged from $110 million to $290 million, a 1.5x increase.
Today, ARB fell 3.46%, currently priced at 0.145. In a broadly declining market, it is relatively resilient because it remains above the MA20 (0.124).
Judgment: Buying $ARB now is a bet on "holding up after the subsidy expires," not on performance. To really see, wait until October to observe how much the fees drop in the first week without subsidies.
#PPI高于预期，今晚CPI定方向 OpenAI reaching into chip design doesn't surprise me at all. What really excites me is that it is trying to make Samsung the second path besides TSMC.
OpenAI's head in South Korea confirmed that both parties are advancing joint R&D and production of next-generation chips, but it has not yet been fully disclosed whether Samsung is responsible for foundry, memory, packaging, or multiple collaborations. Previously, OpenAI co-designed the Jalapeno inference chip with Broadcom and chose TSMC for manufacturing. Now with Samsung joining, the goal is likely not just to expand production but also to reduce reliance on a single supplier and gain leverage over pricing and delivery.
Model companies starting to define their own chips means AI competition is shifting from "who can buy the most GPUs" to "who can make hardware work according to their own models." If custom chips succeed, Nvidia's hardest challenge may not be performance but customers' dependence on a general-purpose platform.
But from design to stable mass production, there are yield, software ecosystem, and years of investment in between. The cooperation news is very attractive, but the real outcome will only be seen once the chips are deployed in data centers.
AI giants are no longer satisfied with renting compute power; they are fighting for the design rights of compute power. This change may be deeper than any model release.
#OpenAI联手三星研发下一代AI芯片 Iran's Growth—In this US-Iraq war, we are witnessing a strong and diplomatically skillful "new" Iran. With the recent uproar of the US-Iran conflict, Iran's strategic goal has become very clear: to turn the arc of resistance from a standalone military confrontation into a tool for economic, military, and diplomatic maneuvering. I believe this is Iran's greatest growth since the old Khamenei. Setting aside whether it will bring long-term stability in the future, at least at this stage, it has worked. I am not advocating for Iran. Rather, Iran's actions have clearly advanced their strategic goals and are clearly more successful: 1. The Strait of Hormuz was initially just a means to threaten and counter the U.S. military, but inevitably offending all Gulf countries and other nations. So Iran implemented a new straits system, not a complete blockade like a madman, but established a new order in the strait. Under this order, if the U.S. manages it, Iran will confront the U.S. military in the straits. If the U.S. does not intervene, it will gradually lose the Middle East's vital energy chokepoint and control over the region The new Iran-Oman Strait Agreement centers on friendly countries in the region, rather than merely showcasing Iran's control over the strait. It has learned diplomatic tactics to unite regional nations. As the US and Iran continue to launch attacks around the strait, on September 10, a large cargo ship from a Qatar-controlled liquefied natural gas company sailed out of the strait for the first time to Pakistan, and two other large cargo ships entered the strait, suspected to be returning to Qatar to wait for loading. On September 9, data from the UAE showed that 10-15 cargo ships enter the strait daily through southern Oman's waters#PPI higher than expected, tonight's CPI will set the direction
$BTC is also about to face a big change tonight. Choose the right direction and be one step ahead.
US August PPI rose 0.4% month-on-month, in line with expectations; year-on-year 5.4%, slightly above expectations. Energy rose 4.2% in the month, and oil prices remain high. The probability of a 25 basis point rate hike in September has increased from 61% to about 71%, and BTC has dropped to around 76,600. A few days ago, we were still discussing when 80,000 would be broken; now the question is whether 76,000 can hold.
The real test is at 20:30 tonight. The market expects overall CPI month-on-month at 0.4%, core at 0.2%. If the core can be kept around 0.2%, the probability of a rate hike may fall back, and BTC could recover to 78,000 or even 80,000; if the core jumps to 0.3% or even 0.4%, then trouble.
My own feeling is that this PPI wave has already priced in the rate hike expectations; the core CPI reading is the last gatekeeper. 0.2% is the watershed, but even if it meets the target, don’t expect BTC to immediately return to 80,000—the market will first breathe a sigh of relief, then reprice, and the rebound strength depends on whether new buying comes in. What we really need to guard against is the core exceeding expectations; in that case, 76,000 will most likely not hold, and the downside target is first 74,000. When the data comes out tonight, don’t rush to act the second it’s released; wait for the first wave of spikes to pass before making a move.The institutional picture isn't as simple as “smart money is buying” or “institutions are selling.” It's becoming much more selective. $BTC remains heavily allocation-driven, while $ETH is attracting attention for its staking yield + growing institutional access. ETF flows have been volatile, with periods of both inflows and outflows rather than a clean one-way trend. Recent data also show that institutional exposure through 13F filings remains significant, even as some investors reduce or rotatEven the toughest HYPE has caught a catch-up drop; is this the last dip?
There's a signal worth pondering before the CPI: the "tough guy" that was the most resistant to this round of correction has now also softened.
First, let's talk about $HYPE. A few days ago, while the market was continuously down, it still held firm at $89, but today it caught up with a 7% drop to $79, falling more than 10% from its high. A strong stock catching up with a drop and trapped bulls is often a typical sign that a correction is entering its later stage — the last bulls just can't hold on anymore, and the sentiment is mostly cleared out. The premise is that fundamentals haven't deteriorated: 97% of revenue is used for buybacks, planned to increase to 99%, the aid fund has hoarded $1.5 billion, and a total of $3.1 billion has been burned. These "self-supporting" hard logics remain, with $77.5 as a key support.
Next, look at Ethereum $ETH at 2446, which only dropped less than 0.7% today, becoming the most resilient mainstream asset. The reason is simple: 35.9% of ETH is locked in staking, exchange balances are at multi-year lows, and there are few floating chips outside, so shorts can't easily push it down. $ETH and HYPE actually represent two types of resistant assets: one relies on real cash buybacks, the other on locked chips.
So, is this really the last dip? The answer isn't in the candlesticks but in tonight's 8:30 PM CPI release. A strong catch-up drop is only a necessary condition for "sentiment alignment," not a sufficient one — if core CPI is below 0.2%, this catch-up drop is likely a golden pit, with a direct rebound tomorrow; if it exceeds expectations, the tough guy will have to keep kneeling, with HYPE looking at $77.5 and ETH at 2400. Don't rush before the data comes out; let the market choose the direction first.#LAPTOP debut dropped nearly 99%, Meme market controversy heats up
It's out in the open, no pretending—it's just a chop for retail!
Launched and crashed immediately, down nearly 99%, FDV surged to $144 billion while liquidity was only $48,000, showing a severe disconnect between on-paper valuation and real absorption capacity. The team allocated 30%, and the first round of airdrop claims, market-making inventory sales, and early profit-taking all dumped simultaneously, causing the price to collapse. The lesson is that for Meme coins, watch chip concentration and exit liquidity; political Meme risks are even greater.

The above analysis is time-sensitive; stop losses must be set. Good luck.$ETH is trading around $2,460 and continues to hold up better than $BTC. However, I would describe this strength as relative resilience rather than genuine bullish momentum. One factor supporting ETH is capital flow. The Ethereum ETF is currently showing a net inflow of approximately $34.75M, while the Bitcoin ETF has recorded around $120M in net outflows. This divergence has helped push the ETH/BTC ratio to its highest level in roughly 10 weeks, showing that ETH is outperforming BTC in the shorThe real logic behind $RAY doubling in just a few days
$RAY is still rising, doubling in just 5 days. The catalyst for this surge, besides the project team repurchasing 30% of the circulating supply over the years, is also the integration of the StonkFun launchpad.
Raydium's LaunchLab has funneled a large volume of meme coin transactions into Raydium pools, directly boosting DEX trading volume and causing a surge in fee revenue.
Repurchase is a long-term underlying mechanism, a slow variable, and one of the emotional stimuli, while this rally is a fast variable driven by a volume pulse.
I verified the on-chain repurchase data: the official repurchase wallet holds a total of 86.02 million RAY, accounting for 31.9% of the current circulating supply.
The repurchase mechanism itself is clean; 12% of trading fees from CLMM/CPMM pools are used for market repurchases. In the long run, this indeed achieves net supply contraction, which is a core advantage of RAY compared to many other DEX tokens.The market is under pressure today.$BTC → around $76.6K, down from the $79K area
$ETH → around $2.44K
$SOL → around $100
The bigger driver is macro. Oil is above $100, Treasury yields are near 5%, and markets are pricing a higher chance of a Fed hike. U.S. CPI is also due today, making volatility likely.
For $BTC, I’m watching $76K–$77K support.Hold it → possible stabilization.
Lose it → lower liquidity could be tested.I’m not chasing either side before the data.Let CPI hit. Let price react. RAY’s move is interesting, but I’m watching the buyback effect, not just the price. Raydium’s RAY rally accelerated after its protocol buyback program purchased roughly $640K of RAY in a single day. The program uses part of swap-fee revenue for buybacks, so higher trading activity can translate into direct token demand. The price reaction has been strong: RAY moved from around $0.82 on Sept. 4 to $1.63 now, while recent daily volume expanded sharply during the move. But I wouldn’t chase $1.63.War → Oil prices surge (Brent breaks $100) → Inflation expectations heat up → Fed rate hike probability spikes (September 25bp hike priced at 61%) → US real yields rise → Non-yield assets (BTC) under pressure.
Meanwhile, **gold nears $5,000/oz**, traditional safe-haven assets are siphoning funds. There is a significant buy wall around $76,771, providing short-term technical support, but macro pressure remains dominant.

⚔️ Core controversy: Is Bitcoin really a “safe-haven asset”?
This is the most divisive topic in the current market.
The bullish safe-haven narrative side:
JPMorgan analysts point out that during the Iran war, Bitcoin outperformed gold and silver, with nearly $11 billion outflows from gold ETFs, while Bitcoin saw net inflows during the same period. Bitwise data shows that since the US-Israel airstrike on Iran on February 28, Bitcoin rose 12%, while the S&P 500 fell 1% and gold dropped 10%. Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan believes the market is repricing Bitcoin’s value as a “neutral settlement layer,” not just “digital gold.”
$BTC #PPI高于预期，今晚CPI定方向 Although the monthly core PPI decreased slightly, the market is mainly looking at the jumping headline PPI and betting that the Fed will raise interest rates next week (62 → 70% probability). However, the data does not necessarily support this scenario: 1️⃣ Housing is already very weak. Home sales are now ~4 million units per year - close to the level at the 2008 Crisis. The number of people selling homes is also now 58% more than buyers, the largest difference in history. 2️⃣ The number of jobs created last week far exceeded forecasts, but average hourly earnings andSevere! After the U.S. announced a 0.4% month-on-month increase in August PPI, several clues tracked by Ajian over the past two weeks all converged today: Brent crude oil surged to about $110, and the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield reached about 4.98%. The probability of a rate hike in September has already risen to about 70%, which doesn't seem particularly exaggerated. But when combined with other indicators I have analyzed:
The European Central Bank has raised the deposit rate to 2.5% due to energy and inflation reasons and acknowledged that current inflation risks are skewed to the upside; meanwhile, Japan's 10-year government bond yield is close to 3%, Australia's 3-year yield has risen to about 5.05%, and New Zealand's 10-year yield has also broken through 5%.
The market is no longer trading on whether the U.S. will raise rates in September. Under concerns about inflation driven by rising oil prices, oil prices, inflation, the Fed, fiscal policy, and the global bond market are all starting to push in the same direction. Central banks worldwide face the dual pressure of growth and inflation, which is especially unfriendly to high-valuation assets like $BTC, and the stock market is the same #PPI高于预期，今晚CPI定方向 August producer inflation just delivered another warning sign for markets. · Headline PPI: +0.4% MoM / +5.4% YoY, up from 4.8% in July · Final-demand goods: +1.1% MoM · Diesel prices: +24.1% MoM, one of the biggest drivers · Core PPI: +0.2% MoM / +4.6% YoY · Final demand excluding food, energy and trade services: +4.7% YoY · Energy prices jumped 4.2% MoM The headline PPI number wasn't dramatically above expectations, but the composition is what matters.

Oracle's AI cloud infrastructure revenue grew 121% year-over-year, even stronger than last quarter's 93%. Both revenue and earnings per share exceeded expectations, remaining performance obligations rose from $638 billion to $664 billion, and orders continue to be fulfilled. Although data center capital expenditures remain high and free cash flow is under pressure, the company maintains its full-year spending plan and has raised its performance guidance. The market responded positively, with after-hours trading up 1.6%. On the other hand, Adobe also delivered better-than-expected earnings and raised its full-year guidance, but its after-hours stock fell 2.29%. Why? Because the market remains cautious about the pace of AI commercialization; guidance alone is not enough, real cash flow is needed.
AI competition is shifting from investment scale to execution capability. Oracle's earnings report is highly regarded because it proves AI investments are starting to translate into revenue growth, not just burning cash. For BTC, this logic provides indirect support. Capital expenditures for AI infrastructure are still expanding, with Oracle, Microsoft, and Amazon all investing heavily in building data centers. Fiat currency credit continues to be consumed, and the long-term narrative for non-sovereign assets remains unchanged. But in the short term, the market focuses more on inflation and interest rate hikes. BTC is oscillating around 76,900, and the direction depends on tonight's CPI.
Financial data is just the entry ticket; execution capability is the pricing anchor. That's all from me, think it over. #财报观察员：甲骨文AI云收入增121% $BTC $ETH $ZEC I used to think the biggest risk of buying TSLA was Elon Musk, but later I realized I was too young.
The same TSLA, three ways to buy it, and the ways you lose money are completely different:
Stock: If TSLA falls, I lose money. There's a clear culprit to blame.
Stock tokens: You have to watch the issuer, custody, asset backing, and redemption. Just because the stock is fine doesn't mean the product isn't problematic.
MEXC stock contracts: You can play with USDT, and if you meet the activity conditions, there's Zero Fee, so the cost is really attractive—but Zero Fee doesn't mean Zero risk. Direction, leverage, forced liquidation, liquidity, none of these are absent.
In short:
Stocks fear price drops, tokens fear mechanism issues, contracts require caution against your own leverage.
Zero Fee reduces trading costs, not investment risks.
Don't end up with NVDA only dropping 3%, saving on fees but losing your position.
Which one do you choose: stock / stock token / stock contract? I think tonight's CPI data will most likely not have any big surprises. It might be similar to yesterday's PPI, with the data coming out roughly in line with market expectations, representing a fairly standard result.
In the current environment, if the CPI significantly exceeds expectations, it would only further reinforce rate hike expectations. But the problem is, doing so could easily cause the market to crash outright.
Since a rate hike is most likely still coming in the end, I think providing data that meets expectations and having the market proceed as originally expected with a straightforward rate hike is actually the safest approach.
However, if they force a CPI figure that is significantly below expectations and then decide not to hike rates because inflation has come down, that would seem too contrived. In the current environment, if the Fed tries to produce an especially favorable number just to avoid a rate hike, it could instead damage its own credibility along with the U.S. Treasury market.
If they really don't want to hike rates later, there's no need to manipulate the CPI data. They can simply release data that meets expectations, then work on quickly lowering oil prices while gradually laying the groundwork for the narrative that the energy shock in this CPI cycle is temporary and unsustainable.
This way, if they don't hike rates later, the market will be more accepting.
So my prediction for tonight: CPI will meet expectations and won't create too much surprise for the market. $ETH 【Thought 03】If I were a big money bull, I might not want to mindlessly blow up all short positions before the CPI. Because pulling ETH too high now will cause three problems:
First, the subsequent cost of adding positions becomes more expensive.
Originally could buy at 2450, now pulled to 2500, can only buy more expensively.
Second, the bulls themselves become crowded.
If all shorts are wiped out, the market is left with a bunch of chasing high long positions. If tonight's CPI is slightly hotter:
No shorts to cover and support the price, instead all are long stop losses.
The decline speed could be very fast.
Third, the good news is overdrafted in advance.
If everyone pulls from 2430 to 2520 in advance due to expected CPI good news, then even if the core CPI tonight is really 0.2: the good news has already been traded.
It may instead appear: expected good news realized, buy the expectation, sell the fact.
So truly smart big money does not necessarily pursue killing all shorts before the data.
More likely prefers: pulling the price to a position favorable to themselves but not extremely crowded. Probably around 2460–2470, at most extending to near 2475.
2460–2470: comfortable.
2470–2480: starting to enter the contest/short squeeze zone.
2480–2500: already prone to becoming crowded trading.
Above 2500: if CPI is not yet released, there is a risk of overdrafting good news in advance.市场预期同比3.4%，核心2.4%。 但真正的杀招不在数字本身，在加息概率上——CME数据已经飙到72.4%，一周前才49%。 也就是说，市场已经提前定价了“这次可能真要动手”。 PPI为什么重要？因为生产端的价格迟早要传导到消费端。 8月商品价格环比涨了1.1%，能源价格单月跳了4.2%，占商品涨幅的四分之三以上。 布伦特原油已经站上100刀，通胀这头野兽，正在从上游往下游渗透。 BTC现在在77000附近趴着，连续四天下跌，本周已经吐了3%。 永续资金费率贴着中性区，多头没信心，空头也没敢往里冲——所有人都在等CPI这一锤子。 今晚三种剧本，叶师傅提前摆出来： CPI超预期（同比破3.5%，核心破2.5%）：加息概率直接从72%往90%冲，饼子第一目标76000，破了看74500。 77000上方追哆的兄弟，今晚就是燃料。 CPI符合预期（同比3.4%，核心2.4%）：靴子落地，短线可能先砸后弹，但加息预期不会散。 反弹到78000-78500，是空单进场的窗口。 CPI低于预期（同比3.2%-3.3%）：加息概率回落，饼子能喘口气，但别高兴太早。 9月16日FOMC还没开，沃什的同样是回调，ZEC、SOPH、PUMP 却是三种完全不同的“死法”。
先看 $ZEC 。
从1296一路回落到1053，最大回撤大约18%。
跌幅看起来不小，但关键是下跌有量。昨天单日成交额达到3.5亿美元，是近7日均值的1.2倍。
这种放量下跌，更像是筹码在加速换手，并不完全代表资金彻底撤退。
今天又开始缩量企稳，说明多空暂时进入博弈阶段。
再看 $SOPH ，这个就明显惨很多。
7号还从0.0058一路冲到0.0139，结果两天时间直接砸回0.0042，从高点算下来跌了接近70%。
这种涨得急、跌得更急的走势，往往意味着资金借着消息和情绪快速拉升，然后高位派发，最后接盘的基本都是追涨资金。
最后是 $PUMP 。
它反而是最磨人的一种。
没有出现一天暴跌，而是每天阴跌一两个点，一周下来慢慢回撤25%，成交量也一直不温不火。
这种走势最容易让人产生错觉：
“跌得不多，应该马上就要反弹了。”
但实际上，价格一直跌、资金又没有明显承接，往往才是最需要警惕的。
所以这三个币虽然都是回调，但性质完全不同：
ZEC是放量换手，SOPH是冲高派发，$PUMP 更像缩量阴跌。
三种走势里，我目前反而更关注 $ZEC。
有量的下跌，至少说明市场还有资金在博弈，故事未必已经结束。
当然，能不能真正走出来，还得看后续成交量、关键支撑和资金承接。
你们手里这三个，现在还拿着哪个？

#财报观察员：甲骨文AI云收入增121%
#BTC现货ETF连续流出 September rate hike probability breaks 70%! Before next week's rate decision, don't blindly bottom-fish $BTC
As of September 11, the latest data from CME FedWatch Tool shows the probability of a 25 basis point rate hike at the September 15-16 meeting has climbed to 71.3%, surging from the 60% mark in just one week, almost fully pricing in this month's rate hike expectation.
This shift in expectations gave bulls no time to react: August PPI significantly exceeded expectations, with month-on-month growth hitting a 5-month high. Energy prices surged over 6% in a single day driven by Middle East tensions, upstream inflation pressures rebounded again, directly breaking the market's optimistic forecast of "inflation continuously falling." Coupled with the ECB's recent rate hike, global central banks' anti-inflation stance is fully intensified. The hawkish signals released by Waller at Jackson Hole continue to ferment, causing the market to switch from a "delayed rate cut" trading logic to pricing in a "rate hike this month."
The US Treasury market has already fallen in advance: the 10-year Treasury yield is approaching the 5% psychological level, the 30-year yield hit a new high since 2007, the US dollar index remains firmly high, and global risk assets are facing capital outflows. Naturally, the crypto market cannot remain unaffected. Xinhua News Agency. This repeated failed breakout in Bitcoin's rebound essentially reflects capital pre-pricing this major negative factor.
Currently, it is a typical "expectations lead, repeated bottoming" phase. Before next week's rate decision, it is difficult to see a large-scale reversal.
In terms of operations, do not chase highs; a rebound to resistance is an opportunity to reduce positions and short high. Consider buying on dips at key support levels.
Keep positions within 30%, reserving ammunition to wait for the rate decision. Pay close attention to Waller's post-meeting remarks — whether it is "one rate hike and done" or signals that there is still room for further hikes, which will determine the medium-term trend.
#PPI高于预期，今晚CPI定方向 这次 CPI 比平时有意思一点。
一个月前，市场还没有这么认真地讨论“美联储重新加息”，但现在情况已经变了。
7 月 FOMC，美联储虽然最后维持利率在 3.50%–3.75%，但已经有 3 位委员直接投票支持加息 25bp。
最近几周，强劲的经济数据、油价上涨，再加上昨天公布的 PPI：
环比 +0.4%
同比 +5.4%
截至今天，市场对 9 月加息 25bp 的定价已经来到大约 70%。
但 Reuters 最新调查里，大约 70% 的经济学家仍然认为，美联储下周会继续按兵不动。所以今晚这份 CPI，可能就是让两边预期开始收敛的一份数据。
目前市场预期：
CPI 环比 +0.4%
CPI 同比 +3.4%
核心 CPI 环比 +0.2%
核心 CPI 同比 +2.4%
如果今晚核心 CPI 环比还是 0.2% 左右甚至更低，我觉得最近这波“9 月加息交易”可能会先降温。
如果出来 0.3%，大概率还是现在这种比较尴尬的状态：加息概率高，但还没完全坐实。
如果核心直接到 0.4% 或以上，事情就不太一样了。🙈 在就业还稳、PPI 偏热、能源又在推升通胀的背景下，Capital rotation is surging beneath the surface😰? Narrative reconstruction is the key to breaking the deadlock!
#CryptoTreasuryDifferentiation: Buy coins or buybacks?
The foundation of $ARB lies in Ethereum scaling and the expansion of the Orbit chain ecosystem. Going forward, closely watch the number of Orbit chain deployments, cross-chain TVL, stablecoin liquidity, active developers, and sequencer revenue. If more protocols and capital settle into the Arbitrum ecosystem, and the revenue return mechanism gradually clarifies, ARB's valuation anchor will shift from "L2 leader" to "decentralized infrastructure platform." Technically, if it completes a long-term bottom accumulation followed by a volume breakout, and then stabilizes on lower volume during a pullback confirming support, the chip structure tends to be healthy; however, token unlocking pace and ecosystem incentive decline remain core variables suppressing valuation.
$XRP's narrative focuses more on the regulatory clearing and revaluation of a veteran cross-border payment asset. The network consensus is stable and liquidity deep, but trend-driven rallies still require real payment demand and incremental capital resonance. Key metrics to watch next include ODL channel transaction volume, on-chain payment counts, exchange net inflows, and changes in long-term holding addresses. If capital diffuses from high-beta new narratives to low-expectation veteran assets, and XRP breaks out with volume above years of consolidation resistance, the catch-up rally space is easily amplified by sentiment; conversely, if volume fails to sustain, price surges are more likely short-term pulses.
Both paths are essentially connected: ecosystem data determines the valuation floor, capital rotation determines the elasticity ceiling.

#OKX预言家：来星球玩预测 Bitcoin has fallen for a week, but does that mean a rebound opportunity has arrived?
On September 4th, I indicated a negative signal for Bitcoin, and since then Bitcoin has started to adjust, having continuously pulled back for a week, dropping from a high of 82,300 to a low of 76,460.
From the perspective of capital flow, Coinank data shows that Bitcoin spot funds have had net outflows for 5 consecutive days, with a large net outflow exceeding $400 million just yesterday.
The cumulative net outflow over the past three days is about $896 million, already surpassing the approximately $892 million cumulative net inflow during the surge from August 19th to 21st.
Looking at volume and price relationships, the average daily down volume from September 4th to 10th is higher than that from August 28th to September 2nd, indicating that recent selling pressure has indeed increased.
Therefore, from a mid-term perspective, both capital flow and volume-price relationships still support my mid-term bearish view.
From a short-term perspective, I believe there is no need to be overly pessimistic.
Yesterday's down volume was less than on September 4th and 8th, indicating that short-term selling pressure has eased.
At 8:30 tonight, the US August CPI data will be released.
The PPI data released yesterday was generally strong, and market expectations for a rate hike in September have clearly heated up (over 70%).
Therefore, even if tonight's CPI remains high and further pushes up rate hike expectations, the market may have already priced in some of the negative factors in advance. From a short-term trading perspective, the 75,500 support level is temporarily unlikely to be effectively broken, and the probability of a short-term rebound in Bitcoin remains relatively high$BTC $ETH $ZEC $BTC Danger signals? ETF net outflows for two consecutive days
#BTC现货ETF连续流出
BTC spot ETFs have clearly cooled off these past two days.
On September 8, there was a net outflow of about $46.6 million, and on September 9, another outflow of $120.2 million, totaling approximately $167 million over two consecutive trading days.
And this time it's not just Grayscale.
ARK's ARKB saw a single-day outflow of about $78 million, GBTC outflowed $27.2 million, and even BlackRock's IBIT had an outflow of $19.5 million.
On September 3, there was a single-day net inflow exceeding $730 million, and last week the entire week attracted nearly $1 billion. But after BTC hovered around $80,000 for a few days, ETF buying suddenly hit the brakes.
However, it's still a bit early to say institutions are running away.
Since September, BTC ETFs overall still show net inflows, and earlier buying far outweighs these recent outflows.
What concerns me more is that this change coincides exactly with BTC's price movement.
BTC has struggled to hold above $80,000, and ETFs have shifted from aggressive buying to consecutive outflows, indicating institutions are starting to hesitate.
If tonight's CPI comes in hotter again, BTC will face more than just interest rate pressure.
Even the most stable recent buying needs to be watched closely.That afternoon surge, I reduced my position according to discipline when the Hang Seng Index's decline narrowed.
It's not bearish; such rebounds to positive territory are usually driven by a few heavyweight stocks, and once the momentum traders disperse, it falls back. I was betting it wouldn't hold until the close.
But the index held, with Sunny Optical and Xiaomi rising over 2%, and NIO, JD.com, Tencent, Meituan, and BYD all up about 1%. I missed out on that gain.
The lesson isn't about direction, but position size: judging the sustainability of individual stock rebounds based on the index's decline is inherently flawed. The index is the result, not the cause.
The next observation point is whether southbound capital's net daily purchases turn positive simultaneously. If only local funds are pushing, the quality of this rebound should be discounted.

#PPI高于预期，今晚CPI定方向 #BTC与黄金90日相关性升至+0.50 $ETH 🔥Gas fees are almost free, but the mainnet's "deflation mechanism" is failing! The most awkward bull market for $ETH has arrived.
There's a critical point about ETH no one is discussing: the mainnet is too idle. In early September, only 1160.53 ETH were burned in 30 days, while about 87,700 new ETH were issued in the same period, meaning burns accounted for just 1.3% of issuance; the average base fee was 0.179 gwei, whereas maintaining a constant supply requires 13.384 gwei. This means that after L2s absorb transactions, the mainnet's burn logic is almost ineffective, with an annual supply growth of about 0.86%. But from another perspective, this benefits users: L1 transfer costs are extremely low, Arbitrum/Base/Optimism handle high-frequency transactions, institutions gain exposure through ETFs and staking without worrying about Gas. Current price is 2452, market cap 299.2 billion, down about 50% from the all-time high of 4953. The conclusion is mixed—short term depends on macro and defending 2400, mid term depends on ETFs + staking lock-up, long term sees L2 turning ETH into a "base settlement layer" rather than a "chain too expensive to use." No chasing highs, try longs at 2400, add on a 2550 breakout, deflation return depends on mainnet activity and fees rising. Not investment advice. $ETH $ETH 【Short Squeeze Thoughts 02】Fourth, it can improve the long positions' unrealized profits and risk status
If a batch of funds' long position average price is originally around 2440–2460, pushing the price up to 2480 or even 2500 in advance:
Unrealized profits increase;
Liquidation distance expands;
Margin status improves;
There is more room to withstand downward spikes when data is released.
Fifth, a short squeeze may trigger chasing buying funds
After the market breaks through a level that everyone is watching, three types of buying orders will appear simultaneously:
Short stop-loss buying + breakout trader buying + FOMO chasing buying.
So if 2470/2480 is effectively broken, the original rise may change from active buying by longs to:
The market forming a positive feedback loop on its own.
At this time, the funds that initiated the first wave of the rise can even reduce active buying and let other funds take over. #财报观察员：Oracle AI cloud revenue up 121% Oracle's earnings report takes the idea of "old tree blooming anew" to the extreme.

The stock price rose 0.86% in response, while Adobe fell 2.15%—both tech giants telling AI stories, but the market voted with its feet: computing infrastructure is more favored than application software.
Why? Because the certainty of AI's "shovel sellers" is higher. Large model training requires massive computing power, directly benefiting Oracle's cloud infrastructure. Although Adobe's Firefly AI is integrated into its full suite, its monetization speed falls far short of expectations, and the market fears it will be eroded by open-source models and free tools.
For the crypto industry, this differentiation is very enlightening: the value of underlying infrastructure is being repriced. Computing power, storage, and networks—these are the "water, electricity, and gas" of the AI era. Bitcoin miners, decentralized computing power networks, and storage protocols all stand on the same logic.
The AI cake is being sliced differently. $ETH $BTC $ZEC $ETH 【Short Squeeze Thoughts 01】 There are large-scale long positions in the market that push high-leverage shorts upward before major data releases, which has several practical benefits.
First, the most direct: turning forced liquidations of short positions into fuel for their own price rise. Longs love this structure because they don’t have to bear the full cost of the rally; shorts are forced to pay for the rise. Short liquidations essentially require buying to close positions.
Second, clearing the “upside powder keg” before the CPI release assuming tonight’s CPI is actually somewhat bullish. If there are many shorts piled up above before the data release, then after the data comes out:
Real buying + algorithmic buying + short liquidations
may happen simultaneously.
This can of course cause a sharp surge, but the problem is that liquidity is very poor at the data moment, and prices can easily become very volatile. If some shorts are cleared before the data, the market structure becomes cleaner:
Pre-clear leverage → post-data direction is more likely determined by real macro funds.
For longs who already hold large base positions, clearing the most fragile shorts early can reduce some momentary game uncertainties. However, there is a double-edged sword here: clearing shorts too thoroughly beforehand also means less short squeeze fuel when the data is released.
Third, turning key resistance levels into support levels assuming:
2480 was originally a sell wall, but if longs force a break above it before the CPI and the price doesn’t immediately fall back:
2480 resistance → 2480 support.
At the data release tonight, the longs’ starting position will be completely different.Oracle rises, Adobe falls. The AI bull market isn’t over—but simply mentioning “AI” is no longer enough.
$ORCL delivered strong revenue and cloud growth, sending shares higher. $ADBE showed explosive AI-related ARR growth, yet shares fell as investors questioned overall growth.
The market now wants proof: AI → revenue → margins → cash flow → profit.
The winners will be companies that turn AI hype into real money. 🚀

#PPIHotCPINext #OracleAICloudUp121% Before tonight's CPI release, what the market lacks most is not directional judgment but the distinction between "data" and "trading reaction." For the same inflation data, if US Treasury yields fall, it means expectations have already been priced in; if yields continue to rise, then the pressure from PPI will further transmit to risk assets. I will first check whether $BTC holds its relative strength, then see if $ETH and high-volatility assets have further declined. BTC resisting pressure and altcoins no longer weakening diffusely indicates that capital is making structural defenses; if both mainstream and altcoins are sold off together, that is a clearer signal of liquidity contraction. #PPI higher than expected, tonight's CPI will set the direction #PPI higher than expected, tonight's CPI will set the direction
Global central banks are simultaneously tightening the taps, this time pushing in three directions at once.
Europe: Last night saw the second rate hike, with deposit rates rising to 2.50%. Lagarde laid it out clearly: the Middle East conflict is driving energy prices, and inflation will remain significantly above the 2% target for a "considerable period." Europe is being forced to act by oil prices.
United States: PPI year-on-year at 5.4% exceeded expectations, month-on-month accelerated to 0.4%, with energy components as the main driver; diesel surged 24% in a single month. Once the data came out, market bets on a September rate hike jumped from 60% to 70%. Tonight's CPI is the real moment of truth.
My judgment: Europe has already acted, the US is waiting for CPI confirmation, but the real killer move is not in the interest rates themselves, but in the forced unwinding of yen carry trades. Trades involving borrowing yen and buying dollar assets worth hundreds of billions of dollars, once rapid yen appreciation triggers unwinding, all risk assets will take a hit. This happened once in August 2024, when BTC dropped over 20% in a week. This time the positions are even more crowded, with AI tech stocks' high valuations taking the brunt first. At BTC 76000, PPI has been hammered but not broken, but once CPI turns hot, the dense liquidation zone at 78000 and the demand zone at 76000 will both come into range. Holding the line means a breather; failing to hold means a chain reaction.
