CLARITY Bill 50:49: Just as Wall Street was ready, US crypto regulation hit the brakes
The most awkward part of the 50:49 vote is that the market had already priced in the passage of the CLARITY Bill. But the 60-vote threshold was not met, turning the situation from "waiting for implementation" to "keep waiting." The Senate ultimately voted 50 in favor and 49 against, still 10 votes short, with 4 Republican senators voting no. Tillis then pushed for reconsideration, indicating this issue is not completely dead yet.
The market's initial reaction was very direct: $BTC briefly dropped from about $77,200 to around $75,600, $ETH fell even more, and $SOL also dropped over 6% at one point; Coinbase and Circle shares also fell about 10%.
The problem lies here. The market is not really trading the absence of a law today, but the delay in the timeline for "crypto assets officially entering the US regulatory system." The CLARITY Bill was originally meant to address core issues like SEC/CFTC jurisdiction, digital asset classification, DeFi, and stablecoins. Now it's in limbo, and institutions wanting to expand on a large scale still face uncertainty about regulatory boundaries.
What really stalled the bill were issues around stablecoin yields, competition with bank deposits, conflicts of interest related to Trump, and DeFi developer liability. In other words, the US debate is no longer about "whether to have crypto," but about who will take the slice of this financial infrastructure pie. Banks, stablecoin companies, exchanges, and DeFi projects are all vying for their place within the rules.CLARITY Bill Faces Senate Test: 60-Vote Threshold, Market Trades on Expectations
$BTC $ETH $ZEC On September 15, the U.S. Senate will hold a procedural vote on the CLARITY Bill, with 60 votes as the hard threshold. The Republicans hold 53 seats, meaning at least 7 Democrats must cross party lines to support it. The latest pricing from Polymarket shows only a 20% chance of passage. Even if it passes this hurdle, there are still many challenges before final legislation. But the crypto market never waits for results to act; it trades on expectations, not the process.
If the bill advances, BTC will first benefit from regulatory clarity, potentially loosening the last psychological barrier for institutional allocation. ETH is more resilient: compliant DeFi gains a registration path, combined with staking yields and RWA narratives, its catch-up potential may exceed BTC. ZEC is developing an independent privacy narrative; the Grayscale ZEC ETF attracted $580 million in two weeks, and once funds spill over from the top assets, its resilience should not be underestimated.
However, the altcoin season will not benefit all equally. Currently, ETF funds remain concentrated in BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP; only when funds truly break out of the ETF core circle can a full altcoin season be considered underway. The CLARITY Bill is just the fuse; the real test is whether funds are willing to spread from core assets outward.

Big Brother Maji was busy today completely reshuffling the long positions, with a few small positions replenished mid-way due to impatience, but overall still reduced holdings worth $125 million.
$BTC cumulative reduction of 697 coins, transaction amount $53.41 million
$ETH cumulative reduction of 26,315 coins, transaction amount $64.64 million
$HYPE cumulative reduction of 88,750 coins, transaction amount $7.03 million
In the evening, it seemed like a sudden awakening, starting to clear positions decisively. Over 300 BTC long positions were all sold off, and 40,000 ETH were cut in half directly.
Currently, BTC and HYPE have been completely cleared.
$ETH｜25x leverage long position
Holding 20,000 ETH, position value $47.93 million
Current floating loss about $1.84 million
Previously, the approach was to go all-in with over a hundred million chips, either getting rich or blowing up.
This time, the team was decisively streamlined, no longer spreading chips across multiple coins, focusing entirely on Ethereum.
A full retreat leaving only a single surviving position; it's unclear if this is a temporary relief or a buildup to prepare for a big move. The remaining 20,000 ETH long position will have to bear all the market storms alone going forward.As soon as I opened the planet recommendations, I saw that explosive post with 180,000 views
I was amazed: Is $CP still getting this much attention? A coin that peaked right at launch, even listing on Korean exchanges couldn't save it, it might as well be considered a run-away!
This sounds exaggerated, but looking back at CP's trend, it makes sense. Pumping, attracting FOMO, then a steady decline once the hype fades—an old script.
The comment section is even more interesting, some advising not to short, while others bravely buy the dip. I understand both types, but I’m not following either.
But that blogger actually dared to short it, reasoning: a 90% drop doesn’t mean it’s cheap, it might just be the beginning of cheap. 24-hour trading volume is under 10 million U, 47 people liquidated, liquidity is half-dead. The price is still wildly volatile, meaning few players are involved, so the direction is easily manipulated by a small number of funds. Shorting in this environment is actually a bit more reliable than bottom-fishing. Of course, shorting doesn’t mean holding on to the death. If you have enough margin, hold; if you can’t bear it, admit the mistake. If $CP really revives in place, I’ll admit defeat and call it the "Phoenix of the crypto world."

The global bond market is undergoing a historic sell-off: the 10-year US Treasury yield has broken 5%, the 30-year yield is approaching 5.4%; Japan's 10-year yield has risen to a new high since 1996; the Bank of England has urgently suspended bond sales. The core drivers are geopolitical oil price hikes pushing up inflation expectations, central bank rate hike pricing soaring (87% probability for the US in September), expanding fiscal deficits, and traditional buyers exiting. This sovereign credit repricing is transmitting to the crypto market through liquidity channels.
Bitcoin is struggling to hold at 77,000. The surge in US Treasury yields is draining dollar liquidity, forcing institutions to sell risk assets to meet margin calls; a bigger hidden risk is the yen carry trade—if Japan raises rates, a wave of liquidations will resonate with liquidity shocks, amplifying downside volatility.
Key observation: tonight's testimony by Bostic is a short-term indicator; if Bitcoin holds steady at 77,000, it remains in a consolidation phase, but if it breaks below 76,000, the next target is 72,000. Current liquidity undercurrents are gathering; defense is paramount.The crypto bill is cool, and it's all about one person—Trump.
Democratic lawmakers like Gillibrand, Warner, and Booker, who had previously negotiated well with Republicans, all turned against the bill and voted against it on voting day. Why? Because the bill can't touch the Trump family's cheese.
By 2025, Trump's crypto-related income will be about $1.4 billion. Family companies like WLFI and Meme coins are thriving. The Democrats demand: existing holdings must be strictly divested, covering children's families, and even paid promotions must be banned. Instead of just banning officials from registering as token issuers.
What's worse is that law enforcement power is mainly in the hands of the Department of Justice—and above that is the President. Who do you want the President to investigate? Although the Republicans have conceded to grant the state attorney general litigation power, the Democrats feel it's far from enough.
Trump's stance is clear: If the bill passes, what will the Democrats use to investigate my family? So any changes involving his own business are rejected.
The Republicans said they had adopted 126 amendments from the Democrats, but the most critical ones—those aimed at Trump's business—were all killed.
In a fit of anger, the Democrats collectively voted against it. The negotiations collapsed at the last moment.
To put it bluntly, this bill doesn't lose because of its content, but because of its interests.Brothers, last night's market was really intense.
At 2:15 AM, the CLARITY debate termination vote ended, and with 60 votes not reached, it failed directly.
They had conceded 126 items earlier, even swallowed 80% of the ethical clauses, but still fell short by a few votes.
The market quickly reacted: $ETH dropped below 2400, hitting a 24-hour low of 2356.18, now around 2401. I've already taken profits on most of my Ethereum short positions, leaving the rest to observe.
Bitcoin crashed from 79,569 to 74,896, and altcoins took an even bigger hit first.
The vote failure doesn't mean the bill is completely dead; it may still be amended and re-voted later.
What's more troublesome is that geopolitical risks are heating up, with senior military officials from the US, Israel, and Arab countries discussing the Iran war and Hormuz operations in Germany.
On one hand, regulatory expectations are dashed; on the other, geopolitical risks are rising.
However, Bitcoin bounced back from 74,896 to around 75,800, indicating there are still buyers at the bottom.
So I'm not rushing to bottom-fish or call a bear market yet; I'll first see if the rebound can hold.
Most of my short positions have taken profits; the rest is up to the market.
Will it continue to fall, or rebound after the negative news settles?
Brothers, let's chat in the comments. Those who stayed up last night waiting for the result, check in!
#本周FOMC揭晓，加息能否落地？ I really didn't expect Maji to play $ETH like this...
Starting with about $150,000 in August, using high leverage to roll positions as $ETH rose from 1900 to 2500 USD, reaching a peak position of $12.3 million!
It looks like a myth, but the trend suddenly changed starting in September.
$ETH oscillated between 2400-2600 USD, and Maji's high-leverage long positions were repeatedly stopped out, with the account net value dropping from $12.3 million down to about $1 million now.
That means earning $12 million, then giving back about $11 million.
Now it’s even more intense: if $ETH drops another few tens to 100 dollars, the remaining positions might continue to be liquidated.
I think this kind of play is really extreme.
For coins like $BTC, $ETH, $SOL, $XRP, $DOGE, getting the direction right is just the first step; if you use too much leverage, even sideways moves can grind you down.
Rolling $150,000 up to $12.3 million is indeed impressive, but if you can't hold it, no matter how big the number is, it's just fireworks in the account.💀
#本周FOMC揭晓，加息能否落地？ 加息预期叠加CLARITY相关消息扰动，市场风险情绪明显降温。 $BTC 跌破76,000，$ETH 也重新回到2,400下方，短线杠杆仓位被快速清理，市场波动明显放大。 但这种时候最容易犯的错误，就是看到价格连续下跌后不断加仓摊成本。 目前我的观察分成几个位置： **BTC：** 此前77K—76K附近承接的多头，现在更多是在等待反弹。如果76K无法重新站回，可以继续观察75K附近有没有明显的现货承接，而不是急着连续补仓。 **ETH：** 2,490—2,450区域进场的仓位目前同样承受压力。2,400失守之后，2350附近会成为下一层值得观察的支撑区域。 **更重要的是资金结构。** 这轮下跌首先打击的可能是高杠杆仓位，接下来真正决定行情能不能止跌的，是现货资金是否愿意在低位承接。 所以现在不能简单理解成“跌了就买”。 关键是等价格到达重要区域之后，观察成交量、资金流和价格反应，再判断市场有没有真正出现承接。 宁愿错过一段反弹，也不要因为急着摊低成本，让风险仓位不断扩大。 接下来继续关注FOMC、CLARITY相关消息，以及$BTC 和$ETH能否重新收复关键位置。When the market drops in the early session, the stop-loss price does not equal the execution price
This morning's market was very straightforward: BTC hovered around $75,000, ETH dropped even more, and many people's first reaction was "Is the direction wrong?"
But what really hits hard in contracts is often not the wrong direction, but that you think you've set a stop-loss properly, yet the final execution looks like a completely different trade.
How the mark price moves, what triggers the stop-loss, whether the order book has support, how many levels are eaten, how fees and funding rates stack up—these details seem minor normally but become real costs during those few minutes of a sharp drop. Especially with high leverage, a 0.2% slippage difference can be more important than correctly reading a 15-minute candlestick.
My judgment is: in a downtrend, traders should first compare not "which viewpoint they believe more," but "which venue's rules for forced exit are closer to the result you expect."
The value of Perp aggregators like Perpex/PerpEX should not be understood merely as finding an entry point. A more reasonable process is: first select the asset, then compare the depth, trigger rules, fees, slippage, and liquidation conditions of different venues, and finally decide where to execute the trade.CoinEx announced its shutdown. After nine years of operation, it just closed.
The official reasons: market downturn, liquidity shrinkage, and high compliance costs. Liquidation starts on September 15, and users can still withdraw funds until December 22.
But CoinEx's history is quite remarkable. This year, TRM Labs discovered that this exchange conducted over $3.84 billion in transactions over more than seven years with sanctioned Iranian entities. Founder Yang Haipo admitted there were indeed many Iranian clients but denied any government connections. In 2024, a hot wallet private key leak led to Lazarus Group stealing $70 million. In 2023, they also paid $1.7 million to settle a lawsuit in New York.
A nine-year-old exchange ended up as a case study in regulatory reports.
On the same day, an MEV bot called Yoink on Ethereum pulled off an even slicker move.
An attacker tried to exploit a Safe wallet module vulnerability to steal 2,900 rsETH from others' wallets, worth $7.81 million. As the transaction was sent, the Yoink bot jumped ahead, packaging the same transaction at the top of the block and snatching 2,882 rsETH for itself. The attacker's original transaction was rolled back with nothing gained.
The bot also paid 18.95 ETH to the block builder to ensure it could cut in line.
It's a case of black hat hacking another black hat, but the bot's greed is the ugliest.
#CoinExToday the main trend of BTC has changed. Last night, the procedural vote on the US Senate CLARITY Act failed, causing BTC to drop more than 5% in a single day to about $75.3K; meanwhile, the 10Y US Treasury yield surged to 5.041%, Brent closed at about $108.75, and the probability of a 25bp Fed rate hike tonight has risen to about 95%. This is no longer just negative news, but rather "regulation + interest rates + energy" all pressing down on BTC at the same time. The 10-year US Treasury yield closed at 5%, the first time since the eve of the financial crisis. Today, the FOMC shouldn't just focus on whether to raise rates or not.
Last night, US stocks softened again: the S&P fell about 0.45%, and the Nasdaq about 0.8%.
The 10-year Treasury yield closed near 5%, roughly retracing the 2007 peak.
Oil prices are still pushing up, making energy one of the few green sectors; inflation expectations haven't fully dissipated.
I think the market has already priced in an 80-90% chance of a 25 basis point hike; what really matters is the dot plot and SEP path, not just whether there will be a hike.
Operationally, don't chase the dip or stay completely out before the event: hold a light position and wait for the decision; if the 10-year yield pushes above 5.1% again and the Nasdaq continues to break down, this wait-and-see approach fails first, so reduce risk first.
Are you more worried about the dot plot revisions upward, or oil prices continuing to push inflation expectations higher?

#ThisWeekFOMCReveal, will the rate hike land?
#10YearUSTreasuryYieldBreaks5%The CLARITY Act result is out: it did not pass!
50 votes in favor, 50 votes against, not even reaching the 60-vote threshold
Not a single Democrat defected; all voted against
And 3 Republicans also flipped
After this vote, Congress will immediately recess to prepare for the November midterm elections, basically no chance in 2026...
The market reaction is very honest
$BTC once fell below $76,000, dropping over 5% intraday. $ETH also fell below $2,400. The funds that bet on the bill passing were buried the moment the vote result came out
Why did it fail? On the surface, it's crypto regulation, but in reality, it's about the Trump family's business.
Democrats are adamant about restricting officials from profiting from crypto
Warren directly blasted in the Senate: the Trump family earned $1.4 billion from crypto business in 2025, "more than any listed crypto company in the US."
The ethical clauses Republicans amended
They looked down on them, calling them a "small fig leaf" 😂
Although the bill died, regulation hasn't stopped.
The SEC is already pushing its own token issuance framework, and the CFTC is also criticizing perpetual contract products.
I think it's best not to treat "regulatory clarity" as a short-term positive to hype
The essence of this vote is that "the two parties broke down in talks,"
The core conflict has never been resolved from start to finish, the pace is much slower than expected, keep holding short positions, and wait for the midterm elections to reassess.
#本周FOMC揭晓，加息能否落地？
#AI发展焦虑升温，芯片股集体走弱
#沙特关键输油管道受损，或停运数周 Hello everyone, I am your uncle! Sorry, old friends. This time the market really gave me a harsh lesson.
I was narrow-minded; just a few days ago I was stubbornly waiting for a second surge, unwilling to reduce my position at the high, never expecting the bulls' momentum to dry up so quickly.
I held a heavy long position on $ETH at 2530, but didn't exit in time. The mark price dropped to around 2407, and more than half of the floating profit was lost right on the spot.
I hesitated and watched above 80000 on $BTC, missing the perfect short entry window, helplessly watching the market turn downward.
The daily MACD turned down, all short-term moving averages are bending down to suppress the price, the upward rhythm has been broken.
But what really shocked me was how drastically market sentiment flipped in just a few days. A few days ago, the community was all bullish, aiming for new highs; now everywhere is talking about a pullback.
Holding positions is easy, but learning to take profits and exit is too hard; the profits in hand can disappear just like that.
$BTC $ETH
#ETH daily upward rhythm broken
#Major coins entering short-term correction cycleHalf of the bonus is paid in cash, and half in the company's own stock, which sounds like an upgrade to employee benefits.
But from another perspective: the company originally just paid a sum of cash, now at least half has to be bought back from the market. The money spent hasn't decreased, and there's an additional role continuously absorbing the shares.
Who is selling to it? This question is more interesting than the agreement itself.
The union receives the stock, but the material doesn't mention a word about lock-up or how long before it can be sold. If there's no lock-up, it means the company is simultaneously repurchasing and planting selling pressure for the future.
In the short term, this looks like good news, but in the long term, it shifts costs from the income statement to the circulating supply.
What I'm watching for next is whether there will be disclosure of the repurchase scale and lock-up arrangements.
#Strategy回购约1.39亿美元STRC $HYPE First, my own operation: on Monday, I tried to short $ETH near 2483, but exited around 2495. This timing was indeed poor; actual execution and long-term judgment are still different. I remain cautious about the current overall direction, but in futures short-cycle markets, the real difficulty is often not judging price movements, but entering and exiting and managing positions. Even very experienced traders find it difficult to accurately grasp every detail, so position control is even more important. Back to the market. I started paying attention to downside risks this Monday. Near the previous high, Bitcoin at 82.2K and Ethereum at 2.66K can be seen as important stage resistance zones in this short-term rally. The market has now retreated to key support levels, with $BTC 76K and $ETH 2400 both key points to watch going forward. There will be further news disturbances, and short-term volatility may further amplify. What really matters is not simply bearish or bullish, but whether the market can effectively confirm the key level after it is broken. If BTC falls below 76K, the area below 73K will become a key area for the market; Correspondingly, ETH needs to watch for support below 2300.4. A Deeper Rift: Bitcoin Is Being Repriced
In a research report released by BlackRock in August, Bitcoin's drop of over 50% from its October 2025 peak was attributed to "position and liquidity clearing," rather than a fundamental change in its asset characteristics.
This statement is half true.
Positions are indeed being cleared, and liquidity is indeed receding. But the judgment that "asset characteristics have not changed" overlooks a fatal variable: Bitcoin is being forced to switch from the "inflation hedge narrative" back to the "risk asset narrative."
In recent years, Bitcoin's core selling point has been "digital gold"—a hedge against fiat currency depreciation. But when the Federal Reserve is actually raising rates and U.S. Treasury yields reach 5%, the market votes with its feet to tell the world: Bitcoin is not gold; it behaves more like the Nasdaq than gold.
This is clear from a set of data. In the same week, U.S. equity funds saw outflows of $32.27 billion. This is not just about the crypto market itself; it is a synchronized bloodletting of global risk assets. $BTC $ETH $ZEC #本周FOMC揭晓，加息能否落地？ #AI发展焦虑升温，芯片股集体走弱 #沙特关键输油管道受损，或停运数周 这次最先提醒市场“风险可能来了”的，恰恰是AI行业内部的人。 Anthropic CEO公开讨论了AI自主迭代以及安全风险，引发市场对AI智能体、网络攻击和算力安全的重新关注。与此同时，行业巨头也纷纷表达对AI发展速度和安全问题的重视。 资金的反应非常直接—— 算力、芯片方向承压，而网络安全板块突然成为资金关注的焦点。 CrowdStrike大幅上涨并刷新高位，软件与安全相关资产的表现明显强于部分半导体板块。 这背后可能不是资金彻底放弃AI，而是AI产业链内部出现了一次新的资金切换： 以前市场更愿意给“生产算力”的公司估值， 现在开始重新给“保护算力、管理AI风险”的公司定价。 这也是我最近比较关注$SNDK 的原因。 前期存储板块涨幅已经非常大，一旦市场风险偏好发生变化，高估值和高预期资产的波动往往会被放大。 $NVDA 代表的是AI算力基础设施， $SNDK 更偏向存储需求， 而$FIL则属于另一条数据与存储叙事。 接下来AI产业的资金故事可能不再只是“谁能提供更多算力”，而会逐渐扩展到“谁能管理数据、保护AI基础设施、解决安全问题”。 AI主线没有用数据说话： 一、销毁：31.20% 的供应已经消失，$PONS 最硬核的机制是销毁。 总供应量：10 亿枚 已销毁：312,036,595.78 枚，占总量的 31.20% 31.2% 是什么概念？接近三分之一的 PONS 已经不在流通盘里了。而且销毁不是一次性的，是持续每天在发生。供应在持续通缩，这是 PONS 最底层的基本面支撑。 二、营收：24 小时 57.4 万美元，年化超 2 亿美元 PONS 的营收能力，比很多人想的要强。 24 小时营收：$574,000（约 57.4 万美元） 年化营收：约 $209.4M（2.094 亿美元） V1 / V2 累计营收：$4.08M / $18.7M 近 28 天结算营收：$19.64M 从营收曲线看，8 月中旬开始 PONS 营收快速爬坡，8 月底到 9 月初达到高峰（单日突破 200 万美元），近期虽有所回落，但仍稳定在 60 万-80 万美元/天的量级。按当前节奏，9 月 16 日单日营收预估约 $851k。 这不是一个“没有收入的概念币”，这是一个每天真金白银进账的协议。 三、估值：1.31× 的营收倍数，市场在给它打“骨折价Last night, the Senate procedural vote on the CLARITY Act was 49 to 50. 60 votes were needed. The shortfall wasn't one vote, but eleven.
The counterintuitive part of this news is that the market had been pricing in a "pass" all week. Prediction market probabilities were rising, Trump had accepted most of the ethics provisions, and Galaxy's Novogratz was shouting the day before, "If it doesn't advance tomorrow, the industry can only go overseas." Then the vote count came out, and the direction reversed.
Coinbase and Circle fell about 10%, and BTC briefly dropped below 75000. The money isn't trading "whether the bill will pass," but "the story after it passes"—and now that story is postponed until after the midterm elections, with fewer than 36 legislative days left this year.
Here's a rebuttal for the market: Armstrong said that if 60 votes aren't reached by September 15, the CFTC and SEC should issue rules on September 16. If rules are indeed issued today, the negative impact of this vote might be digested the same day. Rushing to treat this as a long-term negative might be premature.
What I'm watching is whether the SEC and CFTC take action today, not yesterday's vote count. Bescent recently emphasized that the so-called "strong dollar" is not just about exchange rate strength but is more reflected in the overall U.S. policy and capital environment. If regulatory, tax, trade, energy, and other policies can provide greater certainty, theoretically it could further strengthen global capital willingness to allocate U.S. assets. What truly deserves attention is the underlying capital logic: when dollar assets have higher yields and stronger appeal, global capital may temporarily concentrate in the U.S. A strong dollar and high interest rates also put liquidity pressure on risk assets like stocks and cryptocurrencies. This is also why rebounds in $BTC and $ETH tend to be limited during tight macro conditions. But this does not mean funds have completely left crypto. More precisely, the market now seems to be waiting for a new liquidity turning point. If the dollar remains strong, BTC/ETH may continue to face pressure; If the dollar and U.S. Treasury yields start to cool, the funding environment for risk assets may also change. So at this stage, rather than blindly chasing gains and selling losses, it's better to focus on the US dollar, US Treasury yields, and ETF fund flows. When macro liquidity will shift again may be the key clue for the next phase of the market. 📊 $BTC $ETH #Bitcoin #Ethereum #Crypto #美元 #宏观The White House is calling to stop rate hikes, but the market is pricing in a 90% chance of a hike
#本周FOMC揭晓，加息能否落地？
The debate on the planet these past two days isn't about whether to hike or not, but why the market hasn't backed down even though the White House has spoken out.
As of September 16, 09:07, among 101 economists surveyed by Reuters, 86 expect a 25 basis point rate hike, with market pricing close to 90%. If implemented, the federal funds rate range will rise to 3.75% to 4.00%. The hard data is clear: August PPI year-on-year 5.4%, CPI month-on-month 0.4%. Yet Trump and White House advisor Hassett continue to publicly oppose rate hikes. At the same time, $BTC hovered around 75,684, dropping from 78,262 to 74,955 in 24 hours.
My view is bearish: political rhetoric cannot change inflation readings; the market has already voted with prices. The falsification condition is clear—if after the decision $BTC can reclaim 76,800 and hold, my bearish stance is void; if it continues to lose 75,500, the downside target is around 74,800.
When the decision lands, will you be "long" or "short"? Reply with one word and a reason.

The above is my personal opinion and does not constitute investment advice.Day fifteen, another single-day loss of 7,226.86 yuan. After two consecutive days of heavy losses, the account's cumulative profit and loss dropped to -7,226.86 yuan. Someone asked me why the spot is zero: the spot profit is zero purely because I never bought any spot — for these fifteen days, I've been fighting in the contract grinder. This 7,226 yuan is not a recovery, but another bloody cut loss. $BTC $ETH
On September 15, the crypto market faced a "double whammy" from policy and macro factors.
First blow: the bill failed. The U.S. Senate rejected the procedural vote on the "Digital Asset Market Clarity Act" with 49 votes in favor and 50 against, far from the 60-vote threshold needed to advance. The bill, seen by the industry as a "policy catalyst," fell through, wasting hundreds of millions of dollars in lobbying funds. Bitcoin instantly plunged 5.3%, hitting $74,910, marking the largest single-day drop since June; Ethereum crashed over 8%, falling below $2,400. Coinbase plummeted 12%, Circle dropped 13%, and over 90,000 liquidations occurred across the network within 24 hours.
Second blow: oil prices and interest rate hikes. U.S. crude oil surged over 3% to $105 per barrel, with Iran firmly stating it will never negotiate with the U.S. The oil price spike intensified inflation expectations, and CME FedWatch showed the probability of a September rate hike soaring to 92.4%. Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, and HSBC collectively turned hawkish, expecting two rate hikes this year.
Why did I lose another 7,226 yuan? Because I bet on the bill passing and took a light long position before the vote. When the 49:50 vote count came out, Bitcoin dropped vertically from $79,000. Fortunately, my position wasn't heavy, and I stopped loss timely near $76,000, avoiding a repeat of the September 9 single-day loss of 16,888 yuan.
Fifteen days have passed, the account went from -8,487 to +43,281, then to two consecutive days of losses totaling 23,114 yuan and 7,226 yuan. The September 16 FOMC is imminent, with a 92.4% chance of a rate hike looming overhead. This fifteen-day roller coaster has completely awakened me: I am not "investing" at all; I am merely betting my fate on the Senate vote count, the Federal Reserve's decision, and Iran's stance — none of which I can control. The money in contracts can be earned quickly, but can be lost just as brutally.Braking on building AI, accelerating on managing AI
#AI development anxiety heats up, chip stocks collectively weaken
The AI scene has been quite fragmented these past two days.
On September 14 local time, Trump called Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang at the All-In Summit, calling the idea of "AI taking over the world" a scam and stating he would not let such rhetoric hinder AI and data center development. But those actually building the models are hitting the brakes: Anthropic's CEO Dario Amodei called for slowing down the advancement of cutting-edge model capabilities to buy time for independent evaluation and safety governance. Sam Altman expressed support, and Obama also called for clear AI policy frameworks. The result was a general weakening of chip, storage, and data center stocks.
Simply put, money hasn't left AI; it has just shifted from "building computing power" to "managing computing power." A post on the planet summarized this as sector rotation.
Don't rush to draw conclusions about the AI narrative. Storage stock $SNDK is seen as a pain point in this round. As of 09:07 on September 16, the post gave a current price around 1518 with strong support near 1450. If it breaks below, sentiment will need another washout. So I am cautious about chasing AI concept coins at highs.
In the short term, watch if chip stocks can stop falling; in the long term, watch the pace of computing power investment shifting toward inference and enterprise applications. What determines how far this market can go is not how fast models run, but how quickly computing power converts into revenue.

The above is only my personal opinion and does not constitute investment advice. Key point: In this period of intense news and amplified volatility, meme coins face significantly higher risks than mainstream assets. $DOGE is one of the most watched assets in the meme sector, with relatively greater market liquidity and participant numbers, supported by long-term community and market narratives. But before the CLARITY voting results are announced, without new catalysts, DOGE is likely to follow $BTC and overall risk sentiment fluctuations. $BOME's situation is different. As a meme with relatively smaller market cap and liquidity, its price is more sensitive to capital inflows and outflows. When market sentiment is positive, the elasticity can be high, but once risk appetite declines, the drawdown can also be more severe. So the biggest difference between the two is not just "which is stronger," but the difference in liquidity and volatility structure. If CLARITY ultimately drives a rebound in market risk appetite, the meme sector may attract overall capital attention; If the outcome falls short of market expectations, funds may also prioritize withdrawing from highly volatile small-cap Memes. And don't forget, there's also the FOMC this week. With the CLARITY + interest rate decision events combined, the short-term market could experience a very intense up-and-down sweep. Therefore, looking at DOGE and BOME now, rather than guessing in advance which will surge, it's better to focus on voting results, BTC trends, trading volume, and whether meme sector funds are truly flowing back. After the news is realized, the market is reallySix people, each with $15.5 billion.
I stared at this number for a long time, and the only image in my mind was: I'm still fussing over a few points on the K-line, while they leave their jobs with enough money to last a lifetime.
To put it simply, these are the people who left OpenAI in 2021, now certified by Forbes. Each holds about 1.6% of Anthropic shares, totaling 93 billion for the six of them.
What impact does this have on the market? Honestly, none. This isn't a crypto matter, and no funds will rush in because of this.
But it is a signal.
In the AI sector, the price capital is willing to pay is still rising. Anthropic was valued at 965 billion in May, and money of this scale is still pouring in.
I won't touch this short-term, but I will keep an eye on the few AI-related coins. If one day they start moving with this kind of news, it means sentiment is about to spread.
Not yet. Just watching for now.
#AnthropicIPO争议延续
#OpenAICEO称2026年不会IPO #AI发展焦虑升温，芯片股集体走弱 $BTC The leak at sea hasn't been sealed yet, but Saudi Arabia's "back door" has already been cut off
#Saudi Arabia's key oil pipeline damaged, may be out of operation for weeks
This time it's not just slogans, it's about subtraction.
The official summary says this pipeline has not fully recovered since the attack on September 10, with major pumping stations damaged and most capacity expected to be halted for weeks. It is an important alternative route Saudi Arabia uses to transfer crude oil to the Red Sea after disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, with recent daily transport averaging about 2.6 to 4 million barrels. Reuters cited industry sources saying that if it cannot be restored quickly, Yanbu port's inventory will only be enough to maintain exports for about 5 to 7 days, with an impact scale up to about 4% of global oil supply. On September 14, the Houthi forces also took control of the large and small Hanish Islands in the Red Sea.
What’s more worth pondering is that despite the easing news, oil prices still rose. There was a post on the platform mentioning Brent once rose to 104.93, and WTI returned above 100. Simply put, the market now only trusts ships and pipelines, not words.
Don’t rush to see this as a one-sided bullish signal for oil. As of September 16, 09:07, another post on the platform reminded that oil prices rising, inflation expectations increasing, the Fed becoming more hawkish, and risk assets under pressure—this chain is what BTC really needs to guard against. I am cautious about short-term sentiment chasing energy assets.
In the short term, watch the 5 to 7-day inventory window at Yanbu port and the repair schedule; in the long term, observe how the Middle East risk narrative is repriced as delays drag from weeks to quarters. The countdown on the inventory chart is harder than any slogan.

The above is only personal opinion and does not constitute investment advice. 2. The real killer is not the bill, but the interest rates cutting the throat
The bill vote is the fuse, but the powder keg has long been stacked.
The Federal Reserve will announce the interest rate decision in the early morning of September 17 Beijing time. Currently, traders price in a rate hike probability exceeding 92%. The 10-year US Treasury yield has surpassed the 5% threshold, closing at 5.005%.
Consider the weight of this statement. A risk-free return of 5%, while Bitcoin is a zero-yield asset. Holding an asset that generates no cash flow means an opportunity cost of 5% per year. When this number keeps rising, what can you use to convince institutions to continue allocating?
QCP Capital's analysis hits the mark: US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen's intervention in the long-term bond market has fallen short of expectations, market confidence in liquidity support has collapsed, combined with soaring bond yields and rising rate hike expectations — this forms the most unfavorable combination for Bitcoin.
There is another underlying factor. International oil prices surged overnight, with WTI crude oil futures rising 4.38% in a single day. Oil prices push up inflation expectations, inflation expectations push up interest rate expectations, and interest rate expectations compress risk asset valuations — this transmission chain is amplified threefold for Bitcoin. $BTC $ETH $SOL #本周FOMC揭晓，加息能否落地？ #AI发展焦虑升温，芯片股集体走弱 #沙特关键输油管道受损，或停运数周 Bassett has been pushing the CLARITY Act recently, even directly saying that if the bill can't move forward, it would send a signal to the outside world that "the U.S. is unwilling to lead the future of digital assets."
However, on September 15, the Senate vote still failed to advance the bill, with 50 votes in favor and 50 against.
This is actually quite interesting.
Bassett was still encouraging the market just before, but then the bill got stuck immediately.
Bitcoin also dropped from around 80,000, and market sentiment quickly cooled off.
But I think what’s really worth watching about Bassett isn’t just the CLARITY Act.
He has also been pushing for a U.S. strategic Bitcoin reserve, and the Treasury Department has said it is advancing related work.
So now the market is actually watching two things:
Will the U.S. continue to integrate crypto assets into its financial system?
If the regulatory framework can gradually be implemented, the path for institutional entry will be clearer; but if Congress keeps blocking it, short-term sentiment will definitely remain volatile.
To be honest, the bill getting stuck was somewhat expected, but the rate hike is basically a done deal, and yesterday’s big market move dropped directly to 75,000 as I predicted.

#USbondYields #MiddleEastSituation #OilBitcoin Plunges Deep at Midnight: This Is Not a Squat, Someone Is Undermining the Foundation
Let's put the conclusion here first: This round of sell-off didn't kill the price, it killed the last group of people still believing "regulation will save us."
If you're still posting "bottom fishing," "adding positions," or "faith recharge" in the group, I suggest you read the following data word by word before deciding whether to move your fingers.
1. At 2 AM, a cut straight to the heart
At 2 AM Beijing time on September 16, Bitcoin crashed directly from above $79,000 through $75,000, with a maximum 24-hour drop exceeding 5%. Ethereum was even worse, plunging over 8% at one point. According to CoinGlass data, 115,716 people worldwide were liquidated in the last 24 hours.
But there is something extremely unusual about this crash.
On September 16 Beijing time, September 15 Eastern US time, the US Senate held a procedural vote on the "Digital Asset Market Structure Clarity Act," resulting in 50 votes in favor and 49 against—far below the 60-vote threshold needed for passage.
$BTC $ETH $ZEC #本周FOMC揭晓，加息能否落地？ #AI发展焦虑升温，芯片股集体走弱 #沙特关键输油管道受损，或停运数周 The Clear Act this time failed in the Senate procedural vote, with 50 votes in favor and 49 against, still a bit far from the 60-vote threshold. The vote itself only decided whether it could enter formal debate; failing means the entire bill didn't even get a chance for a vote. On the surface, it looks like a procedural issue, but in reality, the ethics clause exhausted the last bit of bipartisan cooperation space. All Democrats voted against it, with one core demand: restrictions on public officials and their families holding crypto assets must be stricter. Democratic lawmakers openly stated that the Trump family's related projects brought in over $1.4 billion in revenue in 2025, even exceeding the annual revenue of most crypto companies, which made Democrats insist the bill cover the President, Vice President, members of Congress, and their immediate family members. The Republicans added clauses about trusts and state attorney general lawsuits in the final text, claiming the 635-page revised version included 126 substantive amendments sought by the Democrats, but the Democrats were not convinced, saying the ethics clause was too weak. Democrats also worry that enforcement mainly relies on the Department of Justice, which they do not trust to be independent, and some restrictions have sunset clauses, effectively leaving a backdoor. The 60-vote threshold is another major obstacle; Republicans have 53 seats and need at least 7 Democrats to support, but none of the Democrats who supported advancing it in committee remained for the full Senate vote. Even more surprisingly, at least 4 Republican senators opposed it. So, with this failure, what happens next? According to the agreement, after the procedural vote fails, this Congress will continue until January 2027 #10年期美债收益率突破5%
The 5% figure is even more nerve-wracking than the Fed's decision itself.
What does a 5% risk-free yield mean? Stock valuations need to be discounted, real financing costs rise, and high-beta assets like Bitcoin are put on the line. But interestingly, BTC didn't plunge that day. Why? Because the market swings between two narratives: one is a brief peak like the 2023 model, where yields surged and then retreated, giving risk assets a breather; The other is a 2000s-style crisis precursor where high interest rates crush a link and trigger broader deleveraging.
Next, we need to focus on three things. Will real yields continue to rise? Can oil prices hold at high levels? Will the Fed's dot plot reinforce the signal of "higher and longer"? If these three issues are not resolved, it will be difficult for BTC to achieve a smooth rebound.
In the short term, pressure is a clear sign. ETF funds are flowing out, institutions are hedgeing safely, and the long-short tug-of-war near 78555 will continue. But if we look at the longer term, debt has already surpassed 40 trillion, and high interest rates are already eroding the credit of the dollar. If disguised easing or inflation dilution is ultimately forced, non-sovereign assets will actually benefit.
In terms of operations, don't bet heavily on the FOMC before the FOMC. Is the 5% US Treasury yield a brief peak or a sign of crisis? Let's wait for the market to give an answer before making a move.
Do you think this time, the return rate breaking 5% is just a bluff or the prelude to a storm? Let's talk in the comments $BTC $BZ $XAUT 现在市场最关心的还是一个问题： 解锁之后，价格会选择继续向上，还是迎来一波获利盘释放？ 有意思的是，在大盘此前明显回调的情况下，ARB 反而走出了相对强势的表现，短线一度上涨约 9.65%。 这种走势说明，部分资金可能已经提前交易解锁预期，并没有因为解锁临近就出现明显的恐慌性抛售。 另外，ARB 的解锁并不是突然一次性释放全部筹码。 目前主要按照既定安排持续进行线性释放，市场每个月都会关注对应的解锁节点，因此单次释放对价格的实际影响，还需要结合解锁数量、市场成交量以及当时的资金情绪来看。 接下来真正值得观察的有三个方面： ① 解锁完成后，ARB 能不能继续保持强势 ② Layer2 板块会不会出现同步走强 ③ $BTC 能不能稳住当前结构 如果 BTC 再次出现明显下跌，那么即使 ARB 自身有解锁预期，短线反弹也可能受到大盘拖累。 所以现在还不能简单判断解锁一定利空或者一定利好。 先看解锁后的真实成交和价格反应，市场给出的答案往往比提前猜测更加直接。 $ARB $BTC #ARB #Layer2 #FOMC #Crypto$BTC 74000! $ETH 2300! Contract shorts are making big profits but are extremely crowded; will the FOMC announcement trigger short covering?
BTC current price is 74000, down 5600 points from 79600, breaking through the 75000 and 74000 levels, down over 5% in 7 days.
ETH current price is 2300, down 315 points from 2615, breaking below 2400, down over 6% in 7 days, with its high beta characteristic causing a larger drop than BTC.
Contracts: Shorts have profited greatly during the plunge, but funding rates are deeply negative, causing shorting costs to soar and shorts to be extremely crowded. Once the FOMC leans dovish or bad news is fully priced in, concentrated short covering will drive a rapid price rebound, triggering a short squeeze.
Funding: Stablecoins totaling 310 billion are waiting off-market to buy the dip. BTC ETF outflows of 450 million over three days represent institutional profit-taking, while ETH ETF inflows of 216 million defy the trend. Whales holding 60,000 BTC have not sold, Bitmine has locked 5.96 million ETH, indicating main holders have not moved.
Macro: A 90% chance of a rate hike is fully priced in. The FOMC announcement is at 02:00 tomorrow morning. Trump opposes rate hikes, Goldman Sachs expects a 25bp hike, reflecting a political vs institutional battle. Powell's speech stance will determine whether shorts cover $ZEC #本周FOMC揭晓，加息能否落地？ #BTC现货ETF三日流出近4.5亿美元 #ETH现货ETF连续三周净流入 所以真正值得留意的，可能不是消息公布的那一刻，而是消息落地之后，市场还有没有新的资金推动行情。 这周 $BTC 还有一个比较重要的变量——周五 IBIT 期权到期。 按照目前市场数据，本周五到期的 IBIT 期权中，Call 约31.3亿美元，Put 约20.2亿美元，Call 仓位明显更多。 与此同时，市场计算的 Max Pain 对应 BTC 大约在 $71K 附近，而现价仍处于 $79K 左右，两者存在比较明显的距离。 期权集中到期的时候，做市商的对冲行为可能放大短线价格波动。 上涨过程中可能需要增加对冲，价格快速下跌时也可能出现反向调整，因此临近到期日，行情有机会出现比平时更大的上下波动。 这也是为什么我觉得： 法案结果和FOMC落地，并不代表风险马上消失。 消息落地之后，还要继续观察期权到期、资金流向以及价格能否守住关键支撑。 尤其是周五前后，$BTC 如果突然出现快速拉升或者快速回撤，都不一定代表新的中长期趋势已经形成。 高波动环境下，仓位和杠杆本身就是需要重点考虑的风险因素。 所以接下来别只盯着新闻标题，期权结构和资金变化同样值得关注。 $BTC $ETH #BitcoiHit by the dual negative impacts of the US "Clarity Act" rejection and DeFi security incidents, the crypto market's long leverage liquidity has been cleansed, reaching the established bearish target. Currently, the funding rates have returned to neutral, and the overall market has entered a phase of institutional structural distribution.
1. Smart Money Flow and Liquidity Map
1. Macro Inducement and Sentiment Resonance
In the past 12 hours, the US Senate voted down the "Clarity Act," a major regulatory negative that became the strongest external inducement (Macro Inducement) of the day. Crypto concept stocks plunged first during US stock trading, and panic sentiment flowed into the on-chain crypto market through cross-sector arbitrage. Along with DeFi cross-chain bridges being attacked by hackers exploiting a "25-cent counterfeit 46 billion BTC" vulnerability, on-chain trust premium was damaged. Multiple negative factors intertwined, triggering liquidity cleansing in the derivatives market.
2. Funding Rates and Position Structure (OI & Funding Rate)
Currently, the funding rates for BTC (+0.0060%), ETH (+0.0019%), and SOL (-0.0062%) have generally returned to neutral. This indicates that after yesterday's high-level liquidity sweep, long leverage has been cleared in stages. Real-time open interest remains relatively stable, suggesting the market is not in a state of "mindless emotional sell-off" but rather institutional smart money is conducting structural distribution after completing BSL (Buy-Side Liquidity) extraction (DistThe Clarity Act didn't pass, and the market immediately started settling accounts. In the past 24 hours, the entire network saw liquidations totaling $664 million, with 114,700 people forcibly closed out.
The hardest hit were the longs:
Long positions liquidated $571 million, making up the vast majority;
Short positions only liquidated $97.91 million.
Yesterday, the market was still waiting for the CLARITY Act to advance, but the procedural vote failed to reach the 60-vote threshold, so the bill is temporarily stalled. After the news broke, risk sentiment quickly cooled, with BTC briefly dropping below $76,000 and ETH also plunging.
This is the harsh reality of the leveraged market: when good news doesn't materialize, the longs get hit first. $664 million lost in 24 hours, and 114,700 people directly out.
And it's not over yet; the upcoming Federal Reserve interest rate decision is the real big test.
Do you think after tonight's FOMC, the market will continue to crush the longs or will there be a counterattack against the shorts? $BTC $ETH #本周FOMC揭晓，加息能否落地？ 🔥The key to the market lies in ETH! Its choice will determine how far this rebound can go
$ETH $BTC
Many people only focus on Bitcoin, but for the height of this round's follow-up, Ethereum might actually be the true indicator📊.
Over the past month, ETH has been oscillating at a high level. This is not just simple sideways movement to kill time; essentially, it is a large-scale exchange of chips between bulls and bears here.
This round of the market started at $1500, surged to $2666, with a maximum increase of over 70%, and now it has just reached a crucial directional decision point.
✅Upper resistance range: 2620‑2666
Only by breaking and holding above 2666 with volume can the bulls regain the initiative, and the market will have a chance to challenge 2700‑2750 or even further open up the upside space;
If multiple attempts to break through fail, it means there is heavy selling pressure from trapped positions above, increasing the risk of a deep correction.
🛡️Lower lifeline: 2390
If the daily chart effectively breaks below 2390 and cannot quickly recover, the upward trend that started from 1500 will most likely end, and the market will enter a deep correction at the weekly level.
💡My practical insight:
Do not subjectively guess the rise or fall during the high-level oscillation phase. Oscillation itself is neither an opportunity nor a risk; truly safe opportunities only come after the direction is confirmed.
At this stage, just patiently wait for the market to give the answer, and do not take heavy positions prematurely to gamble. More resilient than Bitcoin, altcoins continue to leverage up: The market is repricing after the Clarity Act failure
After the U.S. Senate failed to advance the Digital Asset Market Structure Clarity Act (Clarity Act), the crypto market experienced a typical "disappointment-driven sell-off." BTC briefly dropped below $76,000, ETH fell back to around $2,400, but what truly deserves attention is not the single-day drop itself, but the structure behind the decline: capital contracted from low-liquidity altcoins to the leading coins, with BTC's share rising against the trend; some highly volatile assets fell significantly more than the overall market, while extreme negative funding rates did not immediately translate into systemic short covering. This article believes the current market is closer to a "repricing after the retreat of rule implementation expectations" rather than pure panic selling; operationally, priority should be given to observing whether BTC can regain key resistance levels, whether funding rates are converging, and whether trading volume is truly expanding. #本周FOMC揭晓，加息能否落地？ #AI发展焦虑升温，芯片股集体走弱 #沙特关键输油管道受损，或停运数周 $BTC $ETH $ZEC 49:50, the bill failed at the Senate door
The "Clarity Act" procedural vote was 49 in favor and 50 against, 11 votes short of the 60-vote threshold, effectively deadlocked.
$BTC Bitcoin flash crashed over 5%, falling below $75,000; $ETH Ethereum dropped over 8%; Coinbase fell 12%, Circle dropped 13%. Over 110,000 people were liquidated within 24 hours, with nearly $300 million in long positions cleared.
The Democrats are firmly targeting the Trump family's crypto interests, banks worry about deposit outflows and collectively pressure, even four Republicans defected. Three lines collapsed simultaneously, not even a simple majority was reached.
With only seven weeks left until the midterm elections, senators are heading back to campaign, basically no chance this year.
But the SEC and CFTC continue to push their respective rules, and the stablecoin bill is already being implemented.
The fantasy of "waiting for a big law to clarify everything at once" is shattered. Going forward, we will continue to live under two sets of institutional narratives.
This $ETH short position pocketed some profits, and the remaining positions continued to follow the trend. Starting from around $2524, I have been adjusting positions continuously based on market rebounds. I just reduced my position again, locking in the profits I already taken, and continue to observe the downside potential for the remaining positions. ETH's low has already reached $2387. In the short term, the 1-hour MA5, MA10, and MA20 are all running downward, and prices continue to be suppressed by short-term moving averages, so there is no clear bullish rebound for now. The next key level is $2400. The key point is not just whether it has broken below it, but whether it can regain its position after breaking down. If $2400 shifts from its original support to a rebound resistance, then the short-term weak structure may continue further. $BTC is also weak here. The price has been falling steadily from around $79,500 and is now near $76,300, with the 1-hour moving average structure starting to lean bearish. Next, $76K is a key point to watch. If it continues to fall, the previous low near $75,557 may be tested again. So my approach to this short position remains the same: take as you go, don't close all at once. I've already locked in some profits by reducing my position, and the remaining positions are waiting for further confirmation at $2400. What really decides whether I want to keep holding is not just "breaking below 2400," but whether the rebound can recover after the break.What the crypto community is currently betting on may not be the next cycle, but the door of U.S. policy that hasn't closed yet.
If Trump retains control of Congress, there is still a chance to continue piecing together digital asset regulations, and the Clarity Act might also be pushed forward.
If the Democrats regain control, the direction could sharply reverse: stricter rules, more hearings, bill freezes—this is the scenario that capital fears most.
Therefore, $BTC and $ETH making another surge is not just a wealth effect.
To put it plainly:
The hotter the market, the more confident the pro-crypto political narrative; the colder the market, the easier it is for opponents to make a comeback.
Capital is not inherently opposed to regulation; what it truly fears is rules flipping overnight with no one able to predict it.
So this market movement is not just a bull-bear switch.
It's more like a battle for the last remaining crypto policy window left from the Trump era.$ETH What really needs to be watched now is not a single candlestick, but the key area of $2,400. **Let's look at the macro first. ** The September 16 FOMC is one of the biggest short-term variables. If the Fed sends a more hawkish signal, market pressure on liquidity and risk assets may increase further. Currently, the market has high expectations for interest rate decisions, but the real volatility likely to be Powell's statement on the policy path is likely to occur. **Now let's look at technical structure. ** ETH has repeatedly tried to break through around $2,550 but failed to break through, which is also an important weekly pressure area. Above the $2,700–$2,800 range, there are still clear historical trading volumes and trapped chips, so even if a rebound occurs, whether it can sustain a breakout remains to be seen. **If the market continues to decline, several positions are worth watching:** The first level is $2,400. If the daily chart effectively breaks below this level, the market may further test structural support near $2,380. Looking further down, it is the $2,350–$2,360 area. If this area is also breached, the short-term bullish structure will clearly weaken, and $2,300 could become the next observation level. Of course, liquidation data can only be used as a reference; the actual market will depend on whether leveraged positions, trading volume, and price reaction are synchronized. **Some indicators have also shown some bearish signals. ** RSI momentum has weakened, and prices have returned to the short week
