$BTC Bitcoin consolidates around 77,000, U.S. Treasury yields pressuring
BTC continues to consolidate near $77,000, but macro pressures are mounting.
The key focus is on U.S. Treasuries — the 10-year yield has surged to nearly 4.8%, a nearly three-year high, and the 30-year yield has returned above 5.27%, surpassing the level before Treasury Secretary Yellen expanded buybacks last month. The bond market signals that expanding buybacks alone is not enough; market concerns about inflation and the massive national debt remain unchecked.
The trigger behind this is the escalation of U.S.-Iran clashes, with oil prices breaking $93, pushing up inflation expectations and Treasury yields, putting risk assets under broad pressure. BTC briefly dipped below 76,500 during the session, though it stabilized temporarily. Heavy selling pressure exists above 81,000-82,000, while 75,000 serves as the defensive line below.
More worrisome is that the U.S. Bitcoin ETF saw a net outflow of about $236 million on Monday, with BlackRock's IBIT being the main selling pressure. On one side, the bond market is signaling "inflation is uncontrollable," while on the other, institutional funds are withdrawing.
The 77,000 level, if consolidated for too long, is not a good sign. #Diverging data before non-farm payrolls, September rate hike expectations heat up Tonight, gold and BTC rebound simultaneously, and the core is just two things. Xiao Meng's post will clear it all up for you!
The ISM Manufacturing PMI was below expectations, with new orders and employment both declining. The market is starting to recalculate; the economy is indeed cooling down. The probability of a rate hike has slightly dropped from 66%, U.S. Treasury yields took a breather, and gold bounced back from 4326 to 4385. On another front, the Fed doubled its monthly long-term bond repurchase from 2 billion to 4 billion, and the market is treating this as a form of QE in play. The dollar weakened, and anti-devaluation assets are being favored again by capital.
Both things are happening simultaneously, causing gold and Bitcoin to rebound together. But the quality of this rebound depends on whether the market is trading "economic slowdown → rate hike probability decline" or "fiscal easing → dollar credit erosion." Friday's non-farm payrolls are the real verdict. Before the data comes out, treat this rebound as an emotional repair and don't rush to chase it. $BTC $XAUT ADP Data Interpretation: Reported 38,000 vs. Expected 48,000, Previous 44,000
👉Significantly below expectations, a dovish data point
Core Meaning
Private sector job additions fell far short of market estimates, indicating a cooling in U.S. private sector employment expansion and a decline in labor market heat.
The market will accordingly lower the probability of a Fed rate hike in September: employment is not that strong, so no need to raise rates to suppress the economy.
Chain reaction: U.S. Treasury yields decline, the dollar weakens, benefiting the Nasdaq, BTC, and other risk assets.
Market Logic (Key Points)
Before the data release, BTC had already dropped nearly 2%, with funds betting in advance on strong employment.
Now the data is a cold surprise, a reversal of expectations:
1. Short-term scenario: short sellers stop losses + long buyers enter, likely causing a quick rebound to recover the recent losses;
2. But ⚠️ ADP is just a small nonfarm payroll figure and cannot directly determine Friday’s nonfarm payroll results!
Historically, ADP has often been dovish while nonfarm payrolls strengthened again. Tonight’s rebound is more of a short-term correction, a pulse move, not necessarily a trend reversal.
Two points to watch during trading
1. See if U.S. Treasury yields and the Nasdaq can sustain stability; if the Nasdaq rallies then falls back, BTC’s rebound is likely a short-lived bull trap;
2. Four-hour resistance level: whether the rebound can hold, whether it’s just a short-term bounce or the start of a new upward phase requires closing confirmation.
Summary in one sentence
ADP’s large miss is bullish news.
Because the market had already fallen in advance, a rebound is likely; but this is just a warm-up before Friday’s nonfarm payrolls, not the start of a major bull market. After the rebound, repeated volatility and back-and-forth shakeouts remain possible. Writing $CORE ⚠️ The project team has once again come forward to clarify, stating that the issuance of new tokens has been effectively curbed. But honestly, I personally remain highly skeptical about this. Over the past few years, there has been a gap between some of the project team's statements and actual performance, which is why I have become increasingly cautious about $CORE. Currently, some trading platforms have taken risk observation measures on $CORE, including actions like "closing earning coins, flexible finance, or staking," which deserve more market attention. If a token truly enters the exchange's risk disposal process, it usually goes through several stages: 1️⃣ Closing earning coins, flexible finance, locking/staking functions 2️⃣ Restricting or delisting leveraged trading pairs, gradually tightening trading permissions 3️⃣ Finally, it may involve spot trading pairs and withdrawal functions Of course, closing a financial or staking function does not necessarily mean the spot trading has been delisted. It is still too premature to directly define $CORE as "about to be delisted." But what is certain is that this incident has clearly increased market uncertainty. For those holding $CORE, the most important thing now is not to blindly trust the project team or panic sell, but to continuously pay attention to: 🔴 Exchange announcements 🔴 Network upgrades and validator node status 🔴 Changes in token supply 🔴 Whether withdrawals/deposits are restricted 🔴 Whether the project team subsequently provides verifiable data The market ultimately looks not at promises, but at actual results. $CORE #As I said yesterday, although $BTC has also been affected by the US and Iran, the decline is not that much, roughly the same as the drop in the S&P 500 and Nasdaq, indicating that investor confidence in Bitcoin is still pretty good.
But since I've been in Taipei all week recently, I might not have had time to look carefully, so I took a conservative approach. Seeing today's 72,000 USD yield still has 6%, I'll take the minimum for now. If I can buy at this price, I'm completely fine with it.
Of course, I don't think the price can reach 72,000 USD in the short term. The key is to see how the US and Iran will choose after this round of bombings. Will they continue fighting, or will they be able to sit down and talk? At the very least, opening part of the Strait of Hormuz would be acceptable.$0G USDT perpetual 20x short, entry at 0.2187, mark at 0.1824, floating +331.96%.

But This Time The Setup Is Different. $BTC is entering September after one of its strongest August performances in years. Bitcoin gained roughly 24% in August and pushed above $80K. Now it is back around $77K. And September is already testing whether that rally has real strength behind it. Historically, September has been one of Bitcoin’s weaker months. But history alone is not enough. The market structure has changed. Spot Bitcoin ETFs have become a major sourceWhat are we really talking about when we mention RWA?
Pools that can yield four- or five-digit APRs are truly exhilarating. On new chains like Robinhood, with so many platforms and a flood of newly launched coin-stock Meme tokens, clueless non-native retail investors scramble through chaotic swap routes, creating a golden window for seasoned traders to rake in profits wildly.
Waking up every day to see fees in your account nearly matching your principal is indeed a pleasant feeling. Cherish this last harvest that belongs to humanity. Everyone knows that the future main force in on-chain market making will no longer be humans but AI Agents—those that can simultaneously monitor your LP pools on the Robinhood chain while tracking Nvidia shipment announcements, US stock earnings reports, and market sentiment in milliseconds, dynamically fine-tuning ranges by the second, ruthlessly squeezing out every efficiency black hole on-chain.
As human players, before being fully dominated by agents, we must see a deeper core truth: the “tokenized stocks (RWA)” we’re playing with now—whether blue chips like NVDA, AAPL or popular pairs like TTWO, WYFI—do they truly represent the future of Crypto?
I have always believed that the current RWA model is actually a regression. Ten years ago, when the crypto world was booming with ICOs, what was the original vision of practitioners?
From the day an asset is born, its equity and tokens exist on-chain; issuance, dividends, and governance voting are all governed by code, completely eliminating the costly friction of Wall Street intermediaries.
What is RWA doing now? It forcibly wraps stocks already listed on traditional US Nasdaq and controlled by Wall Street with a token shell through a bunch of overseas-registered shell companies, then flips them onto the chain to sell to us.
This is not decentralization at all; it actually adds several layers of middlemen. What if the brokerage holding their stocks goes bankrupt? Now, to liquidate debt, you have to connect with global retail investors. What if the US government dislikes this project in the future and sanctions it with an official letter?
For compliance, these RWA tokens must, either covertly or openly, include “freeze” and “blacklist” functions in their code.
With just that one sentence, your tokens in your wallet become a string of dead numbers. How is this still censorship-resistant cryptocurrency? It’s clearly just a free bookkeeping assistant for Wall Street.
But don’t lose hope; this “backtracking” is only temporary.
With the push of the US legislative framework, the true era of “native on-chain ICOs / native on-chain IPOs” is rapidly approaching.
At this crossroads where two generations of narratives converge, Hyperliquid is emerging almost miraculously as the uncrowned king carrying the new global financial vehicle.
Although Jeff allocated millions of hype to HPC for lobbying, this absolutely does not mean bowing to regulators to alter its underlying chain code.
Its underlying HyperBFT is an absolutely anonymous, permissionless, 100% refusal of any centralized regime censorship free haven. Its genius lies in launching the HIP-3 standard, allowing others to rent space there to open compliant exchanges.
This is why recent cooperation talks between Hyperliquid and compliance giant Kraken (and its subsidiary Bitnomial) shocked all of Wall Street.
Kraken essentially rents a compliant “VIP storefront” on the first floor of Hyperliquid’s completely free and censorship-resistant L1 building by staking $HYPE.
Old money in the US with compliance requirements can’t play on native anonymous platforms, so they must obediently register, verify identity, and deposit funds at Kraken’s compliant front desk.
This move directly lets Hyperliquid inherit the grand ultimate vision of the ICO era, becoming the absolute carrier of the next generation of global native finance: future truly high-growth AI projects and tech startups won’t need to queue for years on traditional Nasdaq listings; they can directly issue their compliant equity tokens natively on Hyperliquid’s high-performance, permissionless base chain.
And front-ends like Kraken, with full CFTC licenses, become the “compliant new issuance channels” for global old money.
Hyperliquid offloads the most painful, costly, and criticized compliance photo and review work entirely to traditional exchanges like Kraken, spending zero itself, while at the base layer it reversely absorbs the liquidity blood of the US’s hundreds of billions to trillions in compliant markets cleanly.
Its HIP-3 market’s open interest has thus skyrocketed past the $3 billion mark, directly breaking the century-old deadlock that “to be compliant, you must give up censorship resistance.”
Seeing clearly the future of such a super financial vehicle as Hyperliquid, when you return to your daily LP farming workshops, your life’s money-making philosophy becomes extremely clear.
First, always pair with stablecoins like USDG, which are easier to route. Second, small-cap AI concept stocks like WYFI, though currently boasting intoxicating 6000%+ APRs, are still losing big money fundamentally, relying entirely on whether Nvidia supplies chips or data centers have power to survive, with a constant risk of large losses.
In the newly launched chains’ chaotic “waterborne compliance world” with multi-level routing mess, we don’t talk about faith, only about money-making efficiency—using the early chaotic phase before AI Agents fully dominate to wildly freeload those tens of thousands of annualized dimensionality-reduction super-profits that simply don’t exist in traditional finance.
After earning these USD-denominated profits, don’t get cocky; immediately high-frequency withdraw and deposit profits into the purest permissionless platform token HYPE, or your preferred censorship-resistant native sovereign assets like BTC—basically, maintain a coin-denominated mindset.
Make money on the surface, save money underwater. Relying on giants like Hyperliquid that balance compliance and freedom, you can both earn trend profits and preserve the capital of freedom amid the future’s turbulent waves.Solana may be showing where capital is rotating.
$BTC slipped toward $77K after failing to reclaim $80K, while $ETH, $SOL and $XRP also trade lower.
Yet ETF flows tell a different story: Bitcoin ETFs saw roughly $236.5M in outflows on Sept. 1, while Ethereum, XRP and Solana products still attracted inflows.
Capital may be leaving Bitcoin without leaving crypto. $SOL is the divergence I’m watching most closely. In this market, you still manage to lose yourself, I really don't get it 😂 I used to think you treated the “US-Iran conflict” as your own script, planning to kill two birds with one stone and repeatedly profit from the volatility. But in the end— when the market dropped, you barely gained anything, yet your account shrank first. After a few trades, you made a few dozen dollars in profit, but losses directly reached thousands of dollars; this profit curve is really a bit abstract. Even more ridiculous, BTC and ETH keep oscillating back and forth, and you keep stubbornly fighting the market. BTC is still tugging around $77,000, and the real focus is no longer “will it crash immediately,” but whether the funds are continuously withdrawing. The latest ETF data is quite interesting: 📉 BTC spot ETF had a net outflow of about $236 million in one day 📈 ETH ETF actually had a net inflow of about $10.95 million 📈 SOL ETF net inflow about $10.19 million 📈 XRP ETF net inflow about $14.38 million In other words, it’s not that “institutions are all running away,” but more like funds are starting to show clear differentiation and rotation. Looking at fundamentals, the market is not without expectations. The US CLARITY Act is entering a critical window in September; the Senate is expected to have an important procedural vote around September 15, but there are still many uncertainties before final passage, so this is better seen as a potential catalyst rather than a confirmed positive. What really interests me is— funds are slowly starting to spread beyond BTC and ETH. DeCircle (CRCL) Market Today: $89 Consolidation, Reserve Income and On-Chain Traffic Tug-of-War
As the issuer of USDC, the world's second-largest stablecoin, Circle (NASDAQ: CRCL) is trading around $88 – $90 today. After a rapid rise earlier, the stock price is currently in a high-level base-building and selling pressure digestion phase.
Key Highlights
* Key Support and Consolidation Range: After several consecutive days of rallying, CRCL has established the $88 – $90 range as the core short-term concentration zone. The first resistance above is at $95 – $96; a volume-backed breakout here could open the path to test the $100 mark.
* Interest Income and Rate Expectations: Circle's core profits heavily depend on interest income from USDC reserves (U.S. Treasuries and cash). With U.S. Treasury yields remaining volatile at high levels, the company's short-term interest margin income is solidly supported; however, the Federal Reserve's future rate cut pace remains a key variable affecting mid-to-long-term valuation and profit ceiling.
* USDC On-Chain Ecosystem and Channel Competition: As the "digital dollar" printing machine, USDC's on-chain circulation scale and transaction activity directly determine Circle's fundamentals. Although overall on-chain liquidity is warming up, channel revenue sharing (such as cooperation costs with platforms like Coinbase) and market share competition remain focal points of the bulls vs. bears battle.
$CRCL #霍尔木兹风险升温，能源通胀受关注 Strait shipping risks are rising again, Brent crude oil has reached $92, and the market is repricing energy inflation risks. The continuous rise in oil prices will slow down the pace of inflation decline, indirectly limiting the Federal Reserve's room for rate cuts. BTC and ETH are no longer pure safe havens. Once inflation expectations rise and U.S. Treasury yields increase, crypto assets will face pressure and pull back, with the main market trend driven by macro factors. In March 2024, Bitcoin hit a historic high, breaking 74,000. In December 2024, Bitcoin continued to reach new highs, breaking 100,000. In October 2015, Bitcoin still reached new highs, breaking 120,000. The miracle of Bitcoin continuously breaking historic highs is always accompanied by a main narrative: ETFs, strategic reserves, institutionalization, and so on. This also applies to altcoins. A good narrative can attract buying interest, pushing prices up, attracting more buyers, like a bulldozer pushing prices higher and higher, even reaching historic highs. This is also the source of 10x and 100x coins; once you hit the mark, you can turn your fortunes around. However, many people have a misconception that if they find the narrative for the next bull market early and position themselves during the bear market, the bull market will surge. This is impossible in reality because any main narrative can only be confirmed after the bull market ends and cannot be predicted in advance. After reading the following cases, you will understand: In the 2022 bear market, LUNA collapsed, Three Arrows Capital went bankrupt, FTX exploded, Bitcoin dropped more than 70%, falling from 69,000 all the way down to a low of 15,500. Institutions collapsed one after another, GameFi and NFT narratives completely died out. ETH fell from 4,900 to 880, Solana dropped from 260 to 8, Uni dropped from 42 to 3.3, completely beyond expectations. Looking back then, the entire industry was full of scams and failures.

In the Q2 holdings disclosure, Goldman Sachs holds $87.4 million in XRP ETF, making it the largest publicly disclosed institutional holder. Jane Street and Millennium follow closely, holding $16.6 million and $16.2 million respectively.
However, this should not be directly interpreted as institutions blindly bullish on XRP. Many institutions hedge by pairing ETF purchases with futures and options, not necessarily betting solely on price increases.

Tomorrow (September 3, 2026), Core will open deposits and withdrawals, but on-chain liquidity has long been exhausted.
It reminds me of the line from "Assembly": "You better lead everyone out quickly, or else we'll run out of ammo."
The background is that on September 1, Core DAO urgently initiated a hard fork because some validators exploited a vulnerability to claim excessive rewards. Multiple exchanges immediately suspended deposits and withdrawals, freezing liquidity directly.
The key point is that the total overissued amount has not been disclosed to date, the fork has been upgraded forward, and the excessively claimed CORE will not be recovered. No one knows who holds these "zero-cost" chips.
Exchanges can only conduct internal trading now, but once deposits and withdrawals open tomorrow:
· Will the zero-cost chips flood in?
· On-chain depth is already depleted; once a sell-off occurs, the price will be instantly crushed.
CORE has fallen over 99% from its peak. Opening deposits and withdrawals in a liquidity vacuum is extremely risky.

Actually, OKX's entire delisting system is very detailed and layered. Financial product delisting ≠ token disappearance, hidden tokens ≠ delisting, trading suspension ≠ immediate withdrawal ban. Today, we explain in one go the complete OKX delisting logic, trigger conditions, process sequence, and the practical boundaries ordinary token holders must understand. ⚠️ This is only a rule explanation and does not constitute investment advice. 1. First, correct the 3 most common misconceptions among ordinary people 1. On-chain staking/earning delisting ≠ token delisting. It just means the platform no longer manages staking on behalf of users; spot trading, deposits, and withdrawals are completely unaffected. 2. Spot trading pair delisting ≠ unable to withdraw. After trading suspension, there will be a withdrawal window ranging from several tens of days to three months. 3. Token hidden by the platform ≠ delisting. This is a risk observation warning; trading can still be searched and conducted normally, deposits and withdrawals are normal, and display can be restored after meeting standards. In summary: all OKX penalties are handled in tiers and will not result in immediate death sentence. 2. The four core red lines triggering OKX token risk assessment 1. Compliance and legal risks (highest priority) This is the platform's most resolute and zero-tolerance reason for delisting. - Project team or party faces regulatory investigation or prosecution involving securities violations, market manipulation, fraud - Project related to money laundering, pyramid schemes, or other major criminal risks - Regional regulatory policy changes make the token unable to operate compliantly - Project is transferred or team entity undergoes major changes, not$FIL Could it be that it will surge and then fall back today?

Introduction: $63, a $130 million lifeline On September 2, 2026, everyone in the crypto circle was focused on a highly sensitive number on the Ethereum candlestick chart — $2342.15. This is neither a technical support level nor an institutional cost basis. This is the forced liquidation price of Brother Maji Huang Licheng's 41,000 ETH long position with 25x leverage. According to TradingBeats monitoring data, the average opening price of this long position was $2,443.44, with a nominal value exceeding $98 million. On September 2, the current price of ETH was about $2,405, only $63 away from his liquidation price — equivalent to a drop of just 2.6%. What does 2.6% mean? In the crypto market, a 15-minute wick can easily reach that. And 25x leverage means that a 4% price reversal will wipe out the entire principal. This is not just Maji's problem. Once this nearly $100 million position hitsI just made $CRDO a top 5 position in my growth portfolio because Credo is evolving into a much broader bet on owning the connection inside AI clusters.
As those clusters move toward 1.6T and eventually 3.2T then Credo can capture more of the link across electrical, optical, DSPs and silicon photonics as bandwidth and distance requirements increase.
And once you own more of the link then products like Pilot let Credo move up another layer by monitoring connection health.

#非农前数据分化，9月加息预期升温
#加密财库扩张面临指数资格考验 Bitcoin just went through a "hard fork,"
and the most awkward scene happened: no one cared.
It launched on September 1st.
Miners didn't follow.
Exchanges didn't follow.
Traders were even less interested.
Luke Dashjr wanted to create a purer, cleaner BTC by changing the mining algorithm.
The ideal was beautiful, but reality gave him a lesson in just a few hours.
Adam Back's line was ruthless:
Live by the fork, die by the fork.
Success by the fork, failure by the fork.
This isn't about the fork failing.
It's about proving once again that Bitcoin's true moat has long been more than just code.
Mining machines worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
Liquidity built up by exchanges.
Chips accumulated by institutions.
And countless miners, market makers, traders, and capital forming a network of shared interests.
You can change the code, but you can't change the entire ecosystem's interests.
So now, what really decides who stays in Bitcoin isn't who writes prettier code.
It's who can get miners, capital, exchanges, and users to keep playing together, right? That's ironclad.
That's also why the so-called purer BTC might actually be unwanted.
The market never rewards the most idealistic solution; it only rewards what truly forms consensus.
What do you think?
Is Bitcoin's moat really the code, or the combined power of computing, capital, and the community of interests behind it? $ZEC is highly volatile, so I guess quite a few people are trying to catch the bottom?
But just because the price surged past 800 doesn't mean the value truly stands above 800. Much of the increase comes from sentiment, a resurgence of privacy narratives, and short-term funds clustering together. The linkage between futures and spot markets amplifies the volatility. Once the hype fades, the chips will rebalance. ZEC has underlying privacy features, historical narratives, and a community foundation, but these don't necessarily support a quickly pulled-up premium in the short term.
Right now, it seems like funds are looking for assets with "a story + liquidity + old coin memory," and ZEC has been pushed to the forefront. The problem is that sentiment leaders change quickly. Once macro pressures or sector rotations occur, those chasing highs are the most vulnerable. The floating profit on short positions shown in the chart is just a result; it doesn't mean the trend will always be one-sided. Leverage especially requires close attention to funding rates and liquidation lines.
Personally, I treat it as an observation: watch for support on pullbacks, see if volume shrinks, and check if the privacy sector continues to catalyze; don't take rebounds as reversals before confirmation. Catching the bottom is fine, but don't replace risk control with a "faith price."
#非农前数据分化，9月加息预期升温 #Robinhood链上放量，币股Meme引争议 Goldman Sachs, Citibank, Deutsche Bank, and 21 other giants have joined forces to launch a stablecoin. Are the good days for USDT and USDC over?
Don't rush to conclusions yet. In the short term, the moat for USDT/USDC is not just compliance, but deep liquidity, exchange matching networks, and global merchant/on-chain settlement habits—these cannot be replicated simply by having a banking license. Especially USDT's position in offshore dollars, Asian trading pairs, and derivatives margin is very entrenched.
But in the mid to long term, change is indeed coming. These 21 institutions are entering with payment channels, custodial clients, and cross-border clearing resources, aligning with frameworks like GENIUS/MiCA. Their clear target is institutional, wholesale, and cross-border payment scenarios. Stablecoins will compete as "bank on-balance-sheet/regulatory dollar certificates" rather than "crypto-native dollars." USDC is already closer to the compliance narrative and may be forced to upgrade; USDT will face ongoing pressure on transparency and local regulation.
The real watershed is whether banks treat stablecoins as compliant deposit/payment products or embed them into real clearing layers. The former is just another USDC competitor; the latter will change the underlying settlement logic.
For the crypto market, fiat channels will be smoother, but the narratives of decentralization and censorship resistance will be compressed. Time is not necessarily "running out," but the window is definitely narrowing.
#非农前数据分化，9月加息预期升温 #Robinhood链上放量，币股Meme引争议 $CL Shorting Crude Oil: When the supply floodgates open and the demand engine stalls, every bull rally is an escape opportunity
The crude oil market is playing out a classic "bull trap" scenario. In recent weeks, Brent crude has been tugging back and forth around $70, occasionally spiking sharply on geopolitical news or inventory data, but each rally quickly retreats with lower highs. WTI crude similarly struggles in the $68-72 range, with the $70 round number repeatedly gained and lost. This "sharp rise, slow fall" rhythm mirrors recent crypto market moves—it’s not a signal of trend reversal but a product of short squeezes and emotional pulses.
Currently, the core logic for shorting crude oil has never been clearer: the supply side is opening the floodgates while demand is hitting the brakes, inventories keep accumulating, the macro environment is unfavorable, and technical structure is bearish. Every bull rebound is building energy for the next leg down.
1. Supply Side: OPEC+ Production Machine Restarts
Over the past two years, OPEC+ stabilized oil prices through multiple rounds of voluntary cuts, with Saudi Arabia and Russia bearing most of the cuts. But that chapter has turned. With mounting fiscal pressure on member countries and market share eroded by US shale and other non-OPEC producers, the impulse within OPEC+ to increase production is becoming harder to suppress.
Recent market signals show OPEC+ has begun gradually restoring previously cut production as planned, with some members even overproducing to cover fiscal gaps. Saudi Arabia, while verbally stating "flexible adjustments," has practically moved away from insisting on high oil prices, preferring moderate production increases to secure geopolitical alliances and long-term market share stability.
On the US shale side, although rig count growth has slowed, completion efficiency of existing wells continues to improve, keeping overall output at historic highs. Production in non-OPEC countries like Canada, Brazil, and Guyana is also steadily rising. The global crude supply "floodgate" is opening simultaneously. The supply-side loosening is not a forecast but an ongoing reality.
2. Demand Side: Global Economic Slowdown, China’s Engine Stalls
The demand story is more pessimistic. Global manufacturing PMIs have hovered near the contraction line for months, Europe is on the brink of recession, the US economy remains resilient but with weakening momentum, and China—the world’s largest crude importer—has demand growth far below expectations.
China’s real estate sector remains sluggish, new energy vehicle penetration rises rapidly, heavy industry oil demand has peaked and declined, exports have slowed, and refinery utilization rates have dropped noticeably. Customs data show China’s crude imports have contracted year-on-year for several consecutive months, a rare phenomenon in recent years. More critically, the Chinese government is accelerating energy structure transformation, gradually reducing reliance on traditional oil consumption—a trend unlikely to reverse.
In the US, the summer driving season has ended, refineries are entering autumn maintenance, and direct crude demand will seasonally decline. Jet fuel demand remains stable but cannot offset declines in other sectors. Weak demand is shifting the global crude supply-demand balance from "tight" to "loose," a trend likely to intensify in Q4.
3. Inventories and Spreads: Data Don’t Lie
Inventories are the most direct gauge of supply-demand balance. In recent weeks, US commercial crude inventories and Cushing delivery hub stocks have accumulated beyond expectations, indicating actual supply surplus is more severe than surface data suggest. OECD commercial crude stocks have also risen above the five-year average.
Regarding spread structure, the Brent-WTI monthly spread has shifted from previous spot premium (backwardation) to near flat or even futures premium (contango). When forward contract prices exceed near-term contracts, it signals market expectations of more abundant future supply and rising costs for holding long positions, which is very unfavorable for bulls. Historically, trend declines in crude markets often accompany a shift from backwardation to contango.
4. Macro Environment: Dual Pressure from Strong Dollar and High Real Rates
Crude priced in USD means a stronger dollar directly suppresses oil prices. Although the Fed is discussing rate cuts, Waller’s speech at Jackson Hole remains ambiguous, and real interest rates stay high. High rates increase crude holding costs and suppress real economic activity, reducing oil consumption demand.
More importantly, global liquidity is not truly easing. The Fed continues balance sheet reduction, dollar repatriation occurs, and emerging markets face capital outflow pressure. This macro environment imposes systemic pressure on risk assets represented by crude oil. Even occasional rebounds from rising rate cut expectations struggle to form sustained uptrends.
5. Technicals: Sharp Rise, Slow Fall, a Typical Distribution Pattern
Technically, crude’s daily chart shows a clear "sharp rise, slow fall" pattern. Each single-day surge (usually triggered by geopolitical news or short-term EIA inventory boosts) is followed by several days of gradual decline, erasing all gains and making lower lows.
For Brent crude, $80 has become a strong mid-term resistance level. In the past two months, three attempts to break $80 failed, with highs dropping from $79.8 to $78.5 and then $77.6, progressively lower. Meanwhile, lows have also been falling from $73 to $71 to $69. This "descending triangle" pattern, once broken downward, often triggers accelerated declines.
Regarding moving averages, the 20-day MA continues downward, and prices fail to hold above it effectively. The MACD on daily charts repeatedly shows bearish divergence, with weakening rebound momentum. These technical signals resonate with bearish supply-demand fundamentals, providing high odds for shorts. #霍尔木兹风险升温，能源通胀受关注 $XAU Minor Nonfarm Payrolls Slightly Bullish, Direction Depends on Friday's Nonfarm Payrolls
⚠️Risk Warning: The following is only a market logic explanation and does not constitute any investment advice.
US August ADP | Impact Analysis on Gold
Data: Added 38,000 jobs, expected 47,000, previous 46,000, below expectations, the slowest growth since January this year.
Transmission Logic
Employment below expectations → Market believes labor market is cooling, reducing pressure on the Fed to tighten policy → US Treasury real yields and the dollar face downward pressure, theoretically bullish for gold.
Actual Market Performance (Buy the rumor, sell the fact)
Before data release: Gold price had already risen about $20 in advance, some of the weaker expectations were priced in early;
At the moment of data release: The dollar and US Treasury yields briefly dipped slightly, then quickly recovered most of the losses; gold only showed a brief pulse, no strong one-sided rally, then entered a consolidation phase with mild volatility;
Core reason: ADP is only a private sector sample forecast, not the official nonfarm payrolls; big money is reluctant to take heavy positions, everyone is waiting for Friday night’s nonfarm payrolls (including unemployment rate and average hourly earnings), which is the truly key data for this round.HYPE at $81.5, should you run or hold?
First, look at the surface: high-level oscillation, neither bulls nor bears dare to move.
On August 27, it just hit an ATH of 86.8, then retraced 6% down to around 81.5. It rose over 50% in a month, market cap firmly in the top ranks, with contract OI at $3.2 billion. The price stands above the 20-day EMA (75), the ascending channel remains intact, RSI has moved from overbought back to neutral.
But on September 6, 9.92 million HYPE will be unlocked, with a nominal value of $800 million. Are you scared?
First thing: AQAv2 is here, HYPE becomes an "automatic ATM"
Previously, HYPE buybacks relied on 99% fees; now with AQAv2 activated, USDC reserve yield will also be used for programmatic buybacks and burns.
99% fee income continues buybacks
USDC reserve interest income also joins buybacks
Second thing: $800 million unlocking, what exactly are you afraid of?
On September 6, core contributors will unlock about 9.92 million HYPE, nominally worth about $800 million.
Fact 1: Historically, actual withdrawals are far less than the calendar numbers.
Unlocking does not mean dumping. Many contributors will continue holding or sell in batches, not all at once.
Fact 2: The buyback mechanism keeps buying, daily buy orders are absorbing supply.
Who is your counterparty? It's the 99% fee buyback, USDC yield buyback, and Strategies' $2.5 billion ammunition.
Third thing: The candlestick tells you the bullish structure is intact
Ascending channel is complete: price stands above the 20-day EMA (75) and 50-day EMA, ADX at a high level shows trend strength remains
Fibonacci 0.618 retracement: around 81.5 is a classic retracement level, from August 30 low 79.05 to August 31 high 85.37, just retraced to the golden ratio
RSI neutral to slightly strong: not overbought, still room to grow
Key levels:
Support: 80.6-81.2 (golden ratio) → 78.98 (4-hour Supertrend) → 75 (strong 20-day EMA support)
Resistance: 82.7-83.5 → 84.4 → 86.5-87 (ATH)
Bull vs bear, you decide
On one side:
AQAv2 activated, dual buyback mechanism effective (99% fees + USDC yield)
Strategies hold 29.3 million, continue accumulating
Monthly rise over 50%, trend strength remains, ascending channel intact
Nasdaq index inclusion + ETF inflow signals
On the other side:
$800 million unlocking on September 6 (nominal value)
Macro weakness, BTC pressured at 77,000, rate hike expectations rising
North Korea address-related FUD
OI at $3.2 billion is high, leverage amplifies volatility
How to operate?
Short term:
Light long positions at 80.6-81.2, stop loss at 79.5, target 82.8-83.5. If it can't hold 82.7, wait and see. Consider shorts at 84-85, stop loss above 87.
Mid term:
Reduce positions before and after unlocking, don't hold through. If it holds 78-80 after unlocking and quickly recovers, it means strong buying, add on dips aiming for ATH or even 90+. If it breaks 75 with volume, wait and see, might test 73.
You didn't dare buy ZEC at 300, hesitated at 536.
You fear unlocking at HYPE 81, you'll regret it at HYPE 100.
Every bull run first lets most people off, then races ahead alone.
September 6, $800 million unlocking—are you handing over chips or taking them?
What's your cost for HYPE? Are you running or adding on this unlocking wave?

The Strait of Hormuz, as a critical chokepoint for global oil transportation, has seen escalating geopolitical conflicts recently, prompting the market to reprice the inflation risks driven by energy.
About one-fifth of the world's crude oil shipments pass through the Strait of Hormuz. Any disruption to shipping would directly cause a crude oil supply gap, pushing up international oil prices. With the US-Iran confrontation intensifying and consecutive attacks on oil tankers, the market is proactively factoring in a geopolitical risk premium, driving Brent crude quickly toward the $95 mark.
This transmission chain directly impacts the global macro outlook: rising oil prices → increased energy costs for households and businesses → slower overall inflation deceleration. As inflation stickiness strengthens, the Federal Reserve will find it difficult to quickly pivot to easing and may even keep the option of further rate hikes.
The chain reaction on asset side is clear:
✅ Crude oil and energy sectors receive bullish support;
✅ The US dollar and US Treasury yields are boosted by rate hike expectations;
❌ Gold, US tech stocks, and cryptocurrencies, which are interest-free/high-valuation risk assets, come under pressure.
Two key points to watch going forward: first, whether the conflict escalates to a large-scale blockade of the strait; second, whether sustained higher oil prices will completely reverse the market’s inflation outlook for the US.
In the short term, this is a geopolitically driven sentiment trade. If the situation eases, the premium will quickly dissipate; if shipping disruption risk materializes, energy-driven inflation pressure will constrain the Fed’s monetary policy for the long term, further delaying easing expectations for risk assets. $BTC $ETH $SNDK Global bond sell-off deepens further — US 10-year yield rises to 4.81%, Japan's 10-year yield hits 3% for the first time since 1996, South Korea's KOSPI drops 4% as renewed US-Iran clashes push Brent crude above $95. Fed rate hike odds rise to 68% after Warsh's speech at Jackson Hole. ADP data shows only 38,000 — weakest since January — weakening the rate hike argument without "calling it a day." Bitcoin holds near $77,000, giving up about one-third of losses from high-beta altcoin pullbacks. XRP ETF sees 11 consecutive days of net inflows, with Goldman Sachs disclosed as the largest institutional holder. Friday's nonfarm payroll data remains the only truly important indicator. ADP employment increased by 38,000 in August, the smallest gain since January. US private sector employment rose by just 38,000 in August — the weakest reading since January and below the consensus forecast of 48,000 — while the probability of a September rate hike has reached 68%. Warsh preemptively "anticipated" the labor factor argument at Jackson Hole, explaining that moderate growth is due to labor supply effects. The 38,000 figure aligns with this view — weak but still positive. If Friday's official data shows a negative number, this line of reasoning will be harder to sustain. Bloomberg's Anna Wong notes there is no precedent in modern Fed history for rate hikes after two consecutive negative readings; July's number...The sell-off following the US airstrike on Iran did not evenly materialize. In the past 24 hours, Solana and Tron each dropped over 3%, while Bitcoin only retreated about 1%—this price gap indicates that traders first cut positions with the fastest gains or losses, while basically leaving the underlying assets in place. During Wednesday's Asian trading session, Bitcoin traded around $77,500. Solana fell back to about $100, and Tron dropped to about 32 cents—these were the two weakest performing major coins in this session. Ethereum declined 2%, to just above $2,414, XRP fell nearly 2%, to about $1.35. Dogecoin dropped nearly 2%, to just above 8 cents, HYPE fell over 1%, to about $83. BNB was relatively more defensive, declining less than 1%, at $687. In the past hour, each of these names has risen—this buying occurred amid the worst declines in Asian stock markets. The beta spread is the clearest signal in this session, causing high-beta (high volatility) leaders to give up roughly three times the decline of Bitcoin—this is a typical pattern in macro-driven sell-offs, indicating that the sell-off is more about risk management than firm conviction. When shocks are exogenous to crypto—such as surging oil prices or rising yields—traders reduce exposure by cutting "maximum volatility per unit of position." Solana and Tron fit this scenario. Bitcoin, due to its deepest liquidity and largest institutional base, is the position most likely to be retained. #非农前数据分化，9月加息预期升温
The script has turned another page,
Last night, just as the US-Iran conflict escalated, Walsh still held firmly to a hawkish stance. $BTC once dipped to a low of $76,762, and $ETH also fell below the $2,400 mark. However, tonight's ADP nonfarm payrolls unexpectedly "softened"—August ADP increased by only 38,000, below the expected 48,000, marking the slowest growth since January this year—the market sentiment immediately reversed 180 degrees.
The 30-year US Treasury yield quickly dropped, US stock futures turned positive, BTC rebounded to around $77,200, ETH recovered to $2,409, with 24-hour declines narrowing to 1.9% and 2.6% respectively. SanDisk ($SNDK) also bucked the pre-market trend, rising from a drop of over 2% to a peak gain of 2.5%.
Connecting the dots over the past two days, the pattern is clear: geopolitical tensions push oil prices up → rate hike expectations rise → risk assets come under pressure; weak economic data → rate hike expectations retreat → risk assets breathe a sigh of relief. The pace of switching directions is so fast it’s almost impossible to adjust positions in time. The rhythm is tight, and the face changes faster than flipping a book.

#财报观察员：戴尔业绩超预期，博通雪花接棒 Bitcoin ETF Money Is Leaving. But It May Not Be Leaving Crypto. The first signal from September looked bearish. $BTC slipped below $77K as oil surged, Treasury yields climbed and geopolitical risk pushed investors away from risk assets. But then the capital flows got interesting. Bitcoin ETFs recorded about $236.5M in net outflows on September 1. At the same time, Ethereum ETFs recorded roughly $11M in inflows, XRP about $14.4M, Solana about $10.2M, and Hyperliquid around $1.8M. That is not a brBitcoin and Ethereum doing this won't cause an A-share crash, right? The market collapse is abnormal.
In the short term, it really looks like leverage is being washed out, not just a simple pullback. BTC is watching the 75000 area, ETH is looking for support around 2350; if it breaks below, it means long positions are still being targeted; when contracts are crowded, only after the spike and liquidation can the bottom be discussed.
Macroscopically, non-farm payroll expectations are diverging, September rate hikes/hawkish pricing are retreating, US Treasuries and the dollar are suppressing risk assets, US stocks like storage and SNPK are repeatedly plunging, liquidity expectations tighten first in crypto. On-chain hotspots and crypto-stock memes may be lively, but they can't overshadow the main theme of interest rate trading.
Now don't guess "whether or not," watch volume and funding rates: a drop on low volume is digestion, a break on high volume is continued testing; rebounds that don't hold key areas are considered repairs, not reversals. Positioning is more important than opinions, leverage should be reduced first.
#非农前数据分化，9月加息预期升温 #Robinhood链上放量，币股Meme引争议 There is a group of people buying Sandisk, and another group selling it; the market shows that it is very likely different institutions behind this. I checked outside, and the probability of the Fed raising interest rates this month is over 60%? It seems the institution buying leans toward the view that this month's data won't be overheated, and the Fed is not in a hurry to raise rates. Personally, I think if the data isn't overheated, the Fed still has about a 30% chance of raising rates once by the end of the year. I'm really curious how the probability of a rate hike this month reached 60%; could it be intentional?? $BTC $SNDK On Wednesday, assets related to the "devaluation trade" fell again. Bitcoin dropped below $77,000, down more than 1% from 24 hours ago; meanwhile, gold retreated to $4,300 per ounce. The decline occurred as global bond yields continued to surge. The U.S. 10-year Treasury yield rose above 4.81%, up 0.38% in the past 24 hours, and the dollar index strengthened to 99.85—further pressuring risk assets. Brent crude oil prices were slightly lower, hovering just above $90 per barrel. After Warsh delivered a hawkish speech, the probability of a Fed rate hike rose to 68%. According to CME FedWatch, traders currently assign a 68% chance that the Federal Reserve will raise its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points later this month. The benchmark rate is currently in the 3.5% to 3.75% range. This probability has steadily climbed since Chairman Kevin Warsh’s speech at Jackson Hole—about 36% before his speech, rising to 58% over the weekend, 64% on Tuesday, and now 68%. The indicator has been operating within the 60% to 70% range, which historically the Fed uses to validate market expectations rather than catch the market off guard; it is also close to the "priced in" level. Higher expectations create headwinds for stocks and assets lacking inherent yields, such as gold and Bitcoin. Higher risk-free rates increase the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets, which is the direct channel behind the decline of these two asset classes.

Before Broadcom's earnings report, let me pour some cold water
Broadcom reports earnings after the market closes tonight, and expectations are too high, so it's wise to stay cautious.
How high are the earnings expectations? Revenue is expected to reach 29.4 billion, up 84% year-over-year; AI semiconductor revenue target is 16 billion, doubling year-over-year. It sounds impressive, but these are guidance figures previously given by management and have long been priced in by the market.
The real focus should be on three points:
First, the 16 billion AI revenue is a must-defend baseline; falling below this number would be disastrous.
Second, the Q4 guidance is the main event. Morgan Stanley bluntly said: the market is currently betting on AI revenue reaching 150 billion in fiscal 2027; if management only guides to 120 billion, no matter how good the quarterly report is, it won't matter. Last quarter was a lesson: earnings beat expectations but the stock price dropped 12% after hours.
Third, concerns about Google orders need to be addressed directly. Marvell just disclosed a TPU agreement with Google, raising market worries that Broadcom might lose some market share.
What is the options market betting on? Implied volatility shows about 8% one-sided movement after the earnings. The Call/Put volume ratio is 1.48, with higher Call activity. A big player spent $5.51 million on a Call Spread targeting a price range of 540-560, indicating a bullish stance by large investors.
Long or short? At this position, the game is about expectations exceeding expectations. The stock price has only risen 7% this year, significantly underperforming peer $AVGO Small non-farm payrolls surprise! Employment hits an 8-month low, BTC gets a breather window
US August ADP added only 38,000 jobs, significantly below the expected 48,000, marking the weakest reading since the start of the year. In detail, hiring in goods manufacturing and professional services is contracting, wage growth at the low end continues to slow, and the labor market is truly cooling down. However, the Fed’s tone hasn’t fully softened yet; the inflation target remains the anchor, so the market is reluctant to bet directly on dovishness.
For BTC/ETH, short-term interest rate expectations are being suppressed, giving risk assets a temporary breather, but the path for September is still undecided; oil prices and geopolitical tensions are weighing on risk appetite, so the rebound feels more like a buffer than a trend reversal. Technically, BTC first looks to hold support near 77k; if it stabilizes, then recovery can be discussed. ETH follows BTC, remaining cautious below 2500.
The real verdict will come with Friday’s non-farm payrolls. Don’t add drama before the data; position sizing and stop-losses are more important than directional calls.
#非农前数据分化，9月加息预期升温 #Robinhood链上放量，币股Meme引争议 The $BTC golden cross is indeed coming, and I don't deny that this has historically been a valid signal. But there's one detail many people haven't mentioned — in history, the golden cross usually appears after the price has already rebounded significantly from the bottom. This time is no different; BTC rose from 62K to 81K before the golden cross finally showed up. The signal is real, but the best buying opportunity may have already passed. I prefer to wait for a pullback confirmation before taThe headwinds hitting Bitcoin have not "fallen" on it, although they have indeed hurt major traditional assets. This relative strength may still face challenges from the resilient US Dollar Index. $BTC WTI has risen above $90, and the 10-year yield has hit a new high for 2023. According to TradingView data, WTI futures broke above $90, rising nearly 9% this week. Higher oil prices mean more inflation and less room for the Federal Reserve to cut rates. Longer-term government bond yields in developed economies continue to surge due to fiscal concerns. The US 10-year Treasury—impacting borrowing costs across the economy—rose 10 basis points to 4.81%, the highest level since 2023. This leads to financial tightening, reducing the incentive to take risks in the real economy and markets. These two developments are making the stock market nervous. The S&P 500 index fell for the third consecutive trading day on Monday, hitting a four-week low. With the oil price rebound bringing macro risks to energy-importing countries, Asian stock markets are also bleeding. Gold has sharply retreated, dropping from $4,700 to $4,300 per ounce in less than a week. Bitcoin's follow-up to last Friday's decline is weak. Bitcoin remains stable. The follow-through after last Friday's 3% drop and hovering below $77,000 is weak—the best case is just mediocre—causing the price to oscillate between $76,000 and $80,000. A market that can still stand firm amid headwinds,The 50-day and 200-day moving averages of $ETH have formed a golden cross. Looking back at history, every time this cross appeared at a bear market low, it was followed by a major rebound. The last time was in June 2025, which also saw a direct surge, and the previous cross led to about a 40% increase. Of course, it’s not a guaranteed signal; there was one instance when it appeared near a top. But this is definitely one of the signals I’m watching closely right now. $SNDK Can SanDisk hold steady after surging past 1500 this time? SNDK's gains this year have been quite remarkable, and market expectations have been pushed to very high levels. Analyst target prices remain optimistic, with an average target of about 2125 from 23 analysts compiled by a certain platform, but the range is wide—from a high of 3600 to a low of 1000, showing significant divergence.
However, the real risk that US stocks need to watch today may not come from SNDK itself. The US 10-year Treasury yield is approaching 4.8%, and oil prices continue to rise, which is not favorable for the highly valued AI and semiconductor sectors.
Currently, I still lean towards SNDK holding at 1500, but the "truly safe" level is not 1500, but regaining and holding above 1600. Holding 1500 = structure intact; breaking through 1600 = trend strengthening; breaking below 1450 = start to be cautious; losing 1400 = short-term trend clearly weakening.

#Pre-nonfarm data divergence, September rate hike expectations heating up
#Robinhood on-chain volume surge, crypto stock Meme sparks controversy
#Earnings watcher: Dell beats expectations, Broadcom and Snowflake take overBitcoin Has A September Problem. But This Time The Setup Is Different. $BTC is entering September after one of its strongest August performances in years. Bitcoin gained roughly 24% in August and pushed above $80K. Now it is back around $77K. And September is already testing whether that rally has real strength behind it. Historically, September has been one of Bitcoin’s weaker months. But history alone is not enough. The market structure has changed. Spot Bitcoin ETFs have become a major sourceRobinhood Chain generated $1.92 million in protocol revenue in one day, with DEX daily trading volume continuously breaking historical records, exceeding $1.28 billion. Morgan Stanley directly raised HOOD's target price to $150, with the stock price already up more than 21% in August.
Looks great, right?
But think carefully: HOOD's current stock price is around $104, with a price-to-earnings ratio of about 46. No matter how high Robinhood Chain's on-chain activity is, what is the actual efficiency of translating that into the company's real revenue growth? That is the key issue.
Moreover, in the prediction market, the probability of HOOD reaching $120 in September is only 43%—the market itself isn't that confident.
This round of "crypto stock Meme" rally—is it a value revaluation or just a brief liquidity premium frenzy?

On the other — expensive oil → stronger inflationary pressure → higher yields →Many people still think "war = safe haven = bullish for BTC," but I advise you to throw away this old script. How is the market pricing the conflict now? Inflation. High energy prices in the Middle East → rising inflation → central banks dare not cut interest rates.

It is predicted that the nonfarm payroll data will most likely also fall short of expectations, further raising market expectations for rate cuts.
Subsequently, the crypto market will experience upward momentum driven by this major cycle of positive catalysts. If Bitcoin encounters resistance at the 78,000 level, it will enter a range-bound consolidation.
The more thoroughly the consolidation phase is completed, the stronger the subsequent upward momentum will be. 80,000 will not be the end point; 82,000 also has a very high probability of being reached.

More notably, manufacturing lost 17,000 jobs, professional and business services lost 16,000, with new jobs mainly concentrated in education and healthcare services.

US August ADP employment increased by only 38,000, far below the expected 48,000, marking the slowest growth since January this year.
Key Data Points:
① Manufacturing and professional services sectors weakened across the board, with a clear cooling in the hiring market
② Momentum for wage growth in low-paying jobs has disappeared, now below pre-pandemic levels
③ Employment growth stagnates, but Federal Reserve officials still emphasize that "the top priority is inflation"
Impact on Cryptocurrencies:
① Weak ADP → marginal easing of rate hike expectations → short-term positive for BTC/ETH, possibly leading to a breathing space rebound
② However, the Fed remains focused on the 2% inflation target, so the September rate hike uncertainty remains
③ Geopolitical conflicts (with oil prices staying high) continue to suppress risk appetite, limiting rebound potential
Bottom line: Small Nonfarm Payrolls give bulls a breather, but the real direction depends on Friday's Nonfarm data. Hold your hands, wait for the shoe to drop.

Strait shipping risks are rising again, Brent crude oil has reached $92, and the market is repricing energy inflation risks. The continuous rise in oil prices will slow down the pace of inflation decline, indirectly limiting the Federal Reserve's room for rate cuts.
BTC and ETH are no longer pure safe havens. Once inflation expectations rise and U.S. Treasury yields increase, crypto assets will face pressure and pull back, with the main market trend driven by macro factors. The gold market is showing divergence; in the early stages of conflict escalation, it will also be suppressed by interest rate logic and does not rise blindly.
Geopolitical news is repeatedly changing, and volatility caused by news can easily trigger stop-loss sweeps. Do not open positions directly based on geopolitical news; focus on subsequent changes in oil prices and U.S. Treasury yields.
