Bitcoin washed the bears in one day.
BTC rebounded 4.14%, surging to $66,627.
In the four hours of Asian morning trading alone, $142 million in short positions were liquidated.
The total short-selling price across the market blew up 235 million in a single day.
Wow, this isn't a bull market returning; it's the bears paying the tuition first.
No new money, just short squeeze can add a sense of ceremony.
Do you dare to chase $BTC #MSTR再卖1638枚比特币 now? Its scale has been halved The same cat is 20% more expensive on the chain. Where did you buy it?
There's a pretty interesting detail today. Bitstamp has put CASHCAT on the platform. The official announcement post hasn't even appeared yet, but the trading feature on the page is already working.
Let's first clarify the relationship between these names. Bitstamp is a long-established exchange in Luxembourg, and in early June, Robinhood bought it for $200 million in cash. CASHCAT is a meme coin running on Robinhood's own chain. So now, a cat has grown on Robinhood's chain, and the exchange Robinhood bought has put this cat on its token.
The real interesting part is the price. At the time of writing, Bitstamp's CASHCAT quoted $0.1123, while GMGN's on-chain price was $0.132, up 48% in 24 hours. For the same coin, the difference between the two places is nearly 20%.
The price difference itself isn't complicated; the new coin's market-making depth hasn't fully expanded, and the brick-moving channel between the two markets hasn't been opened, so the price forks. But what it reveals is quite important—where you buy determines your cost line. The same amount of money, a 20% difference in entry makes the subsequent ups and downs feel completely different.
This price difference won't last. Either the price is pushed down on-chain to the exchange, or the exchange is bought up and moved on-chain. Who bears the burden in the middle depends on whose depth is thin. In the past, when encountering such situations, most of the losses were the chasing highs on the side with the depth of the thin side.
Let's flip back a bit. This cat rose 120% last week, with its market value returning to around $86 million, but in mid-July it hit 22 cents, and now it's just over 13 cents, still halfway up. The so-called 120% increase means climbing out of a deeper pit, not a new high. Many people automatically overlook this difference.
There's another perspective worth pondering. Robinhood's move is that the chain is its own, the exchange buys its own token, and the issuing platform is just starting up on this chain. From minting a coin to having a pool and then listing on centralized exchanges, the entire journey is completed within the same company's territory. The efficiency is indeed high, but this also means that third parties who can judge whether it's worth the price basically don't exist.
Here are a few silly questions for your own market watch. Is its 24-hour turnover enough for your position to exit unscathed? Is there a specific event on the day it rises? Is it purely driven by capital? How long does the price gap between the two markets converge, and where does it converge? If you can't answer these three questions, it means your understanding of it is still stuck at the K-line level.
By the way, let's talk about the overall environment. BTC is still hovering between 64,000 and 65,000, the 200-week moving average is above 63,657, but volume hasn't followed, so there's only so much money in the market. When meme prices rise at times like this, people grab the chips already available in the market, not new money entering the market, so they come and go quickly. This is nothing like last year's incremental rally.
Would you go out of your way to place an order in another market just to be 20% short?#SandiskBeatAndBuyback Sandisk beat expectations, announced another $14B buyback… and still fell after hours 😅

AI storage demand clearly isn’t the problem anymore. Now it’s all about whether NAND pricing and high-bandwidth flash demand can justify the valuation.
Big buyback, cautious guidance — which signal are you trusting more? 👀One term has recently come up again: CRS.
Caixin reported that as CRS information exchange becomes routine, tax authorities can now fully obtain dividend and cash value data for overseas policies. The previous gap in tax administration is being filled, and the payment of insurance gains under overseas income taxation has already begun to be processed.
CRS, simply put, is a cross-border account information exchange mechanism. If you open an account at a financial institution overseas, that institution reports your account information to the local tax authorities, and the information is then exchanged to your tax status locally. It doesn't collect taxes itself; it only lets others know what you have.
What really matters is the second half of the sentence. CRS will be upgraded to 2.0, with core changes clearly stating that crypto assets, central bank digital currencies, and specific electronic money products will be included in the definition of financial assets.
What does this line mean? Previously, this mechanism focused on bank accounts, securities accounts, insurance policies, and trusts; crypto assets were not on the list, not because they were safe, but because the rules hadn't written them in the rules yet. Now, adding a line to the list changes the nature.
I know many people's first reaction is: what's there to fear about on-chain anonymity? Here's a misunderstanding. Your name is indeed not written on-chain, but your coins are very likely not lying in your wallet the entire time. Buying requires passing the exchange, withdrawing funds requires passing the exchange. The exchange itself is a financial institution with your identity documents and a snapshot of your assets. Once the rules include crypto assets as financial assets, the exchange must report the amount according to the rules, which has nothing to do with whether the blockchain is anonymous or not.
There's also resonance. Caixin's section also mentioned that overseas stock trading, offshore insurance, and offshore trusts are all tightening in sync with tax management. In other words, it's not a single move, but several lines pushing forward together. Around the same time, the UK and US are setting rules for stablecoins, and the requirements for on-chain transfer traceability are moving forward. The direction is consistent: crypto assets are being filled into the existing financial system step by step, from a rule-bound blank.
What use is that for trading? Not in the short term, it doesn't change today's candlestick. BTC is still grinding between 64,000 and 65,000, the 200-week moving average is just above 63,657, volume hasn't kept up, and Coinbase's premium has been negative for 79 consecutive days. These numbers have nothing to do with tax regulations.
In the medium to long term, there are variables. Once compliance costs rise, two things will happen simultaneously. One group of gray funds will have their activity space squeezed, potentially taking away some liquidity in the short term. The other group of compliance institutions' money will actually dare to come in more because the rules are clearer and risks can be priced. Which of these two forces is stronger depends on the pace of implementation; it's not something you can decide on a whim.
My approach is to first write it down in a notebook, and then adjust liquidity expectations after the specific implementation timetable is released. This has a characteristic: when it's announced, the market doesn't react; it only becomes apparent in the months when it actually takes effect.
Do you adjust your holdings because of these rule changes, or do you still feel distant from yourself?#闪迪财报双超预期，新增140亿美元回购授权 $SKHY
The storage sector collectively plunged back into a downtrend.
Still holding the short position opened near 1100 on Hynix; the current price has dropped to around 1051.
Watching to see if it can break the support tonight and continue the decline.
As mentioned before, 1070-1050 is the first support zone. The price has now fallen into this range, indicating that the downtrend structure after the failed rebound is still unfolding.
The logic hasn't changed:
Positive news has been fully priced in, but the sector can't rally; the downtrend channel remains unbroken, and even the support levels are starting to fail.
✔ Short opened near 1100
✔ Current price 1056, down 44 points
✔ Original stop loss at 1132
✔ Weakness continues, target remains near 1012
At this position, I won't chase shorts anymore, just manage the existing positions. As unrealized profits grow, I will gradually tighten protection to prevent profitable trades from turning into losses again.
I'm not shorting the entire storage cycle, but rather the failure of this rebound after all the positive news has been priced in.
The price has now given the answer; the rest is just to execute the plan.#SandiskBeatAndBuyback #CircleArcLaunch #EarningsRealityCheck Good afternoon, brothers! I just finished lunch and turned on my phone, almost spraying food on the screen—$BTC 65015! Just a couple of days ago, he was lying around at 62,000, and now he's already hitting 65,000? It climbed from a low of 62,200 all the way to 65,026, rebounding nearly 2,800 points. It feels like suddenly having extra money in your salary card—confused, but still enjoyable 😅
What's going on? Expectations of a US-Iran ceasefire + oil prices plummet. Trump and Iran are about to discuss the Strait of Hormuz, Brent crude oil has plunged, inflation concerns have eased, risk appetite has restored, and money is flowing out of oil into the crypto world. The crypto world basically got a free lunch.
BlackRock led the charge, with IBIT seeing a net inflow of $196.8 million in one day. Bitcoin ETFs have seen a total inflow of $626 million over the past three days. Even more impressive, over 38,000 bitcoins flowed into hoarding addresses, one of the largest inflows in history. The whales are secretly eating food, just like the aunties rushing to buy during supermarket discounts.
But don't celebrate too soon—Fed Governor Tim Cook has taken a hawkish stance, saying that if inflation doesn't fall, he supports continued rate hikes. Within the FOMC, 9 votes in favor of holding the table and 3 against calling for a rate hike is the first time since 2016. Expectations for rate hikes could rebound at any time.
Moreover, the 65,000 level is probably the "ceiling" for daily rebounds. Transaction volume only increased by 15%, and breaking through without volume always made me feel a bit uneasy—telling my blind date "I have a house" ended up being the same as renting. Let's have a sip of tea and watch the show first. 🍵The biggest unlocking in US stock market history is here! SpaceX released 900 million shares today, doubling the circulating shares
Today (August 6), up to 911.5 million shares held by SpaceX employees and pre-IPO shareholders were officially unlocked.
Based on the closing price of $108.27 on August 5, these stocks are worth about $98.7 billion. Based on the closing price of $125.33 on August 4, that's $114 billion.
No matter which method is used, this is the largest lock-up period unlocking in the history of the U.S. capital market.
Here are a few key numbers—get a feel for them first:
SpaceX currently has only 639 million shares in circulation. The 911.5 million shares unlocked today are 1.43 times the current circulating shares.
After the lock-up, tradable shares increased from 639 million shares to a maximum of 1.55 billion shares.
But this is just the beginning. By early December this year, the number of circulating shares will surge to 5.33 billion, more than eight times the current number.
What is the biggest difference between SpaceX and other IPO companies?
After most companies go public, once the lock-up period ends, all shares are unlocked at once. But SpaceX implemented a nine-stage gradual release.
Today's release is the first batch — 20% of the 180-day lock-up period. On August 20, September 9, September 24, October 9, and October 26, each time you get an additional 7%. After the Q3 earnings report, it will increase by another 28%. The remaining portions will be fully unlocked on December 8.
Baillie Gifford, the fund manager, made a particularly apt statement: "We have never seen such an arrangement, never seen an unlock of this scale, and never seen such a phased lock-up period." We are in uncharted territory. ”
Will these stocks be sold?
Not necessarily. Lifting the ban does not equal selling.
But the question is—who holds these shares? What are their costs?
A year ago, SpaceX's private equity valuation was only about $400 billion. After completing the acquisition of xAI this year, its overall valuation reached $1 trillion.
Even though the stock price has dropped nearly 50% from its peak, early investors and employees still have huge paper gains.
Renaissance Capital analysts put it bluntly: "Employees and early investors find it hard to resist selling opportunities because they hold huge returns and are strongly motivated to realize returns and diversify their holdings." ”
More importantly, some early investors want to cash out not for consumption—it's to buy private equity in other companies, such as OpenAI, Anthropic, and Anduril. This money does not remain in the account; it flows directly to the next gambling table.
So what is really happening today?
I believe this is not an ordinary unlocked. This is a tsunami on the supply side.
At the time of its IPO, SpaceX's outstanding shares accounted for less than 5% of its total equity, and its scarcity supported its valuation.
Starting today, this scarcity is being systematically dismantled. Moreover, the bears have long been in position—currently, about 30%-35% of circulating shares have been shorted, and the bears have made a book profit of about $7 billion. #财报观察员: Mixed results, lifting restrictions imminent! What do you think about SpaceX's future? 255 people were fed a cup of coffee with USDT that couldn't be drunk
Let me start with a scene. At the end of last year, a company called Fun Coffee began appearing on the streets of Hong Kong, organizing marathons, hosting banquets, handing out flyers, and even inviting TV artists to host events. There are stores, offices, and the company is officially registered.
Its external identity is that of a large coffee investment company on Phu Quoc Island, Vietnam, claiming a capital scale exceeding 1 billion USD. If you had passed by its event venue back then, you probably wouldn't have thought it was a setup.
The real business is in the app. Download, complete tasks, and top up—the top-up uses cryptocurrencies like USDT. Nominally, you invest in high-tech coffee equipment, gene optimization technology, and agricultural equipment, promising annualized returns of 197% to 278%. The larger the amount and the longer the term, the more you pay. They also set upstream and downstream revenue sharing, with commissions for bringing people in.
In July 2026, the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission classified it as a suspicious investment product. Later that month, the app suddenly shut down, making it impossible to withdraw funds, customer service went missing, and the office and store were deserted.
By August 5, Hong Kong police had received a total of 255 reports, 30 more than before, with total losses reaching about 104 million HKD. In Macau, the Judiciary Police also arrested two women, involved in nine cases involving about 3.6 million Macau Patacas. Police stated that during the investigation, they will contact the victim and related parties to confirm the mastermind and the roles they played. This statement is a response to claims that some artists have hosted their events.
What I want to say isn't how clever this game is—it's actually not clever at all. Annualized from 197% to 278%—anyone who has been in the market for half a year would get goosebumps just by seeing it. What really hooks people isn't the yield, but the whole set of offline moves ahead: marathons, dinners, celebrities, physical stores, company registration. These things are sending the same signal; we have a physical entity and cannot escape.
And it chose USDT to collect payments. This step is the most ruthless in the entire design. Bank transfers have counterparty information, transaction records, and traces of recourse; once USDT is entered, it is a string of addresses. You can indeed trace where the money went on-chain, but finding it and getting it back are two different things. A few days ago, data also showed that stablecoin issuers take more than two hours on average from submitting a freeze proposal to actual execution. Those monitoring proposals have long since left, and those stuck are those who don't know what to monitor.
There's a silly way to screen it all yourself. See if it promises fixed income, whether it dares to let you use your bank card for transactions, and whether its returns are tied to how many people you bring in. Out of three points, one can be crossed out no matter how well the earlier promotion is done.
Will it affect the market? To be honest, there isn't one. Even with 104 million HKD, a single BTC candlestick can't be sold. It's still grinding between 64,000 and 65,000. The 200-week moving average of 63,657 just broke through, and volume hasn't followed. But if these cases accumulate too often, other consequences will arise. Regulators will tighten requirements for stablecoin payments and on-chain transfers requiring real-name registration each time. That is something to face three months from now, not today's market.
Has anyone around you ever talked to you about a project with an annual yield of over 200 yuan? How did you respond at the time?BTC's current rebound at $64,500 is very critical, and this level can be seen as a long-short conversion zone for the current short-term structure.
If BTC effectively breaks below $64,500 and then fails to recover after a rebound, it indicates that the previous high-level bottom-raising structure is beginning to be disrupted, and $64,500 may shift from support to resistance. In this case, I will continue to hold existing small short positions and sequentially observe the take-offs between $64,200–$64,000 and $63,700–$63,900.
However, a single downward insertion is not enough to confirm a valid break. A more reliable signal should be the 15-minute candlestick closing below $64,500, followed by resistance in that area and another break below the rebound low.
Conversely, if BTC fails to effectively break below $64,500 after a pullback, or briefly falls below and then quickly recovers, it indicates that the selling pressure below is being absorbed by buyers, and the price may continue to fluctuate at high levels and test $65,000 again.
In this case, I would consider establishing a light ultra-short long position, but this position is only used to play for rebounds around $64,850–$65,000, and I won't consider it a medium-term trend long position. Since there is still significant supply between $65,000 and $65,200, it is advisable to take profits in batches after approaching the resistance zone rather than continuing to pursue a breakout.
The most important thing right now is not to predict BTC will definitely rise or fall, but to observe the price reaction near $64,500: a breakdown and failed rebound, with bears regaining control; If the price breaks below and quickly recovers, the bulls will still maintain a short-term structural advantage. $BTC #闪迪财报双超预期, an additional $14 billion repurchase authorization was added $SNDK 闪迪昨天暴跌15%，核心不是公司变差，而是市场预期降温+高位获利盘兑现。

From a macro perspective, this statement has the following far-reaching implications for the market and MSTR's valuation logic:
1. Completely cut off the panic narrative of a "liquidation chain reaction."
*Market Sentiment: The biggest concern for whales and institutional investors is the "forced liquidation" of the largest holders. Seller clearly stated the $5,000 liquidation line, meaning that even if the crypto market experiences a 90% extreme drawdown, MSTR will not be forced to sell.
*Impact: This establishes a "psychological defense" for $BTC. When the market knows the largest individual holders have extremely high leverage tolerance, short-selling momentum against $BTC weakens due to the lack of expectations of a "liquidation stamp."
2. "Antifragility" analysis of debt structure
*Low Cost Leverage: Most of MSTR's debt consists of long-term convertible senior bonds, many of which are zero or extremely low interest rates. This debt structure does not rely on short-term price fluctuations but rather on long-term expectations from 2028 to 2032.
*Financial trump card: Even if $BTC crashes, as long as MSTR can maintain cash flow from its software business or has enough unstaked $BTC (currently MSTR owns a large amount of unstaked assets) as supplementary collateral, its liquidation risk is nearly zero. This demonstrates the robustness of its "financial engineering" to Wall Street.
3. $MSTR Logical reconstruction of stock premiums
*Leverage anchor: Thaler's remarks reshaped $MSTR from a "high-risk leveraged tool" into a "Bitcoin index with an extremely high margin of safety."
*Valuation Preferences: The logic of capital inflows into $MSTR will shift from "seeking volatility" to "long-term certainty." Against the backdrop of August 6, 2026, as hard tech assets like $SNDK lock in the lower space through buybacks, $MSTR is essentially imitating this behavior of "lock in risk through capital structure design."
4. Macro transmission to the cryptocurrency market
*$BTC Asset Characterization: This statement further reinforces $BTC's status as a "perpetual asset." If top institutions can withstand the $5,000 stress test, then $BTC, fluctuating between $50,000 and $60,000, is given stronger institutional holding confidence.
*Sector linkage: This move will stabilize the long-term expectation of ecosystem assets such as $STX (Bitcoin Layer 2) and $ORDI, which hold large amounts of $BTC reserves.
5. In-depth Advice: What to Look Forward To?
*Watch the premium rate between MSTR and BTC: Currently, $MSTR typically has a premium of 1.5x - 2.5x relative to its net value of interest (NAV). With Seller's "liquidation trump card" revealed, this premium rate is expected to remain strong in a volatile market.
*Key position monitoring: Although the liquidation line is at $5,000, the market's "sentiment stop-loss level" is usually around MSTR's average holding cost (currently around $38,000). As long as $BTC stays above this price, MSTR is a perfect liquidity siphon machine.
*Risk warning: The only thing that can break this logic is the collapse of the credit market. If systemic risk arises in the U.S. Treasury market causing difficulties in corporate bond refinancing, even if Thaler is not liquidated, he will face enormous financial pressure.
Conclusion: Saylor's remarks are a "final ultimatum" to institutional investors—don't try to liquidate MSTR by dumping the market. This greatly consolidates $BTC's bottom support in the complex macro environment of 2026. Operationally, $MSTR pullbacks often serve as long-term gold buying points for entering the $BTC ecosystem $BTC $ETH $MSTR

Saylor又开口了。原话是，就算BTC跌到每枚5000美元，我们相对于债务仍然是超额抵押的，我们完全没问题。
5000是什么概念。BTC现在六万四出头，跌到5000意味着从这儿再掉九成多。正常人听到这数第一反应是这人在吹牛。但我把他后半句拎出来看，味道就变了。
他接着说，我们一共筹了大约650亿美元去买BTC，但其中大部分不是债务。
这句才是重点。超额抵押说白了就是押的东西比借的钱值钱，只要这关系还在，债主就不会来敲门。他敢把话说到5000这么狠，靠的不是币价，是分母小。650亿里头如果只有一小块是借来的，剩下的都是发股票、发优先股募来的，那这部分钱根本没有到期日，不用还，也就谈不上被强平。
所以他这话严格说不算吹牛，但也不是你听到的那个意思。风险没消失，只是换了个地方待着。借来的钱有到期日，募来的钱没有，代价是每发一次新股，老股东手里那份就被稀释一次。币不跌，持股的人也在一点点变少。这笔账不写在清算价上，写在每股含币量上。
为什么说这事跟咱们有关。市场上囤币的上市公司现在一大堆，大家最怕的场景就是哪天币价砸下来，这些公司被债主逼着卖币，踩出连环踏。判断一家公司会不会变成砸盘方，别看老板喊得多响，看它的钱是借来的还是募来的。借来的那部分才是引信，募来的顶多让财报难看。
这也能解释另一个现象。前阵子有家公司手里18712枚BTC，账面从16.4亿缩到11亿，浮亏五个多亿，一枚都没动。不动它就只是报表上一个数字，动了才变成真金白银的亏。囤币大户宁可拿币抵押借钱也不肯直接卖，逻辑是同一套。
落到盘面上，这番话对今天的K线没影响。BTC还在6.4到6.5万磨，200周均线63657刚站上，量一直没跟。真正有用的是它给了个抓手：去翻这些公司的可转债到期时间表和转股价，哪一年集中到期，哪个价位会触发条款，那才是可能出事的时间点。
短期看，这类喊话是情绪层面的东西，听过就算。长期看，囤币公司的融资结构决定了下一轮下跌时抛压有多重，这个变量比任何一条均线都实在。
顺便说一句，Coinbase溢价还是-0.11，连着79天为负，美国本土现货买盘没回来。喊话再响，也没体现在盘口价差上。
你会因为老板一句我们完全没问题就安心持仓吗，还是宁可自己去翻一遍报表。#MSTR再卖1638枚比特币，规模腰斩 Regarding Stake Capping and EIP 8361:
The Ethereum Foundation and many core researchers believe reducing issuance would be better for the network. They argue that it strengthens Ethereum's store-of-value (SoV) properties while maintaining or even improving long-term security.
On the other hand, lending and DeFi applications argue that lower issuance would reduce their revenue and user activity, ultimately leading to less onchain activity and a net negative outcome for the network and ETH as a productive asset itself.
Some loopers generate yield directly from issuance, so they have a clear economic incentive to oppose any reduction.
What we really need is someone to run the numbers to stop the political answers and get right to it.
If issuance is reduced:
1- Would looping still exist? If looping largely disappears, what activity would replace it, or how would that impact overall network or ETH usage?
2- If demand for LSTs/LRTs declines, how much would that reduce network activity and demand for ETH?
3- Would Ethereum's stronger deflationary characteristics increase ETH's price enough to offset some of the lost activity?
4-Would a lower issuance rate attract more users, capital, and new applications to the network over the long term?
I'm not engaging in the solo-staker debate because I believe those arguments have already been addressed and don't materially alter the broader trajectory. (esp with Strawmap roadmap)
Answering these questions would move the discussion away from ideology and toward NUMBERs.#SandiskBeatAndBuyback #CircleArcLaunch #EarningsRealityCheck The gold $XAU I bought in batches starting in June is finally close to 🤣 breaking even
During that period, the price kept falling, and I didn't dare to go all in—I just kept adding it bit by bit.
At the time, I wondered when I'd break even, but unexpectedly, this surge was quite fast.
I think the main reason for the recent strength in gold is the main reason
First, reports emerged that the US and Iran have recently reached a temporary agreement, likely to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, causing Brent crude oil to plummet.
The second market lowered the probability of a Fed rate hike in September from 68% to 59%, and the market began betting that the probability of future Fed hikes would decrease, leading to a decline in the dollar and Treasury yields, which provided support for gold.
Third, central banks around the world continue to buy large amounts of gold; China's central bank has increased its gold reserves for 20 consecutive months, and South Korea has resumed large-scale gold purchases after 13 years.
But after going through this round, my biggest takeaway is:
Buying gold really tests patience.
Unlike some stocks or coins that can rise by more than ten points a day, gold is more often a grind.
When prices drop, you want to cut off; when prices rise a bit, you want to exit.
Fortunately, I bought in batches, so I felt a bit more relaxed.
Now I'm almost broke even, and I hope I won't be on another roller coaster this time$BTC

规律是参考，不是预言。Your long position is only 3,000 points apart from the 1.5 billion margin call
This afternoon, a number appeared on the market: 61456.
This isn't a support line drawn by anyone; it's a threshold calculated from the liquidation intensity. If BTC falls below this level, the cumulative liquidation strength of long positions on mainstream exchanges will reach $1.527 billion. To put it plainly, if you drop over 3,000 points from here, over $1.5 billion in long positions will be forcibly wiped out by the system, whether you like it or not.
I checked the current position: BTC is grinding between 64,000 and 65,000, touched 65,008 today, then dropped again, now just over 64,000. Just over 3,000 points from 61,456. It sounds distant, but if you look at the timeframe, there were several intraday fluctuations of 3,000 points in July.
Look to the other side. Above, 67341 has a short wall of 1.437 billion yuan, just over 2,000 points below the current price. The lower wall has 3,000 points, the upper wall has 2,000 points, and the upper wall is closer. This is why the market keeps pushing upward and then falling back down. Pushing upward means taking short positions, falling downward means taking long positions. Both sides have profit, and no one is willing to move first.
I care more about the direction of the money. In the past 24 hours, Binance saw a net inflow of 448 million USDT, showing that the money was indeed flowing into the exchange. But the money coming in isn't necessarily a buying bid; it could be used to pay margin, be ready to take stock, or be ready to dump. The same U was put into the exchange, and no one knew what it was for. This is the easiest place to deceive on-chain data—jumping to conclusions just by looking at inflows and outflows usually leads to failure.
By the way, here's a contrast. Coinbase's premium remains at -0.11, with 79 consecutive days of negative losses since May 19. The lower this number, the weaker the buying pressure in the U.S. domestic spot market. On one side, BTC spot ETFs saw a net inflow of 244 million yuan for three consecutive days; on the other, the premium has been underwater for nearly three months. Institutions are using their own channels, while retail investors haven't connected at all. When these two numbers compete, I trust premium more; it's the real money difference on the market and can't be faked.
How should the 1.527 billion yuan settlement be used? My view is not to treat it as a prediction; it's more like a map marking which floor is hollow. If the price really drops to around 61,456, that segment will move especially fast, because it's not the people selling but the system itself. If you want to buy in that range, first figure out if your leverage can withstand those few minutes of pin insertion.
The 200-week moving average is now at 63,657, which is the average cost line for all buyers over the past four years. BTC had just climbed up shortly after its volume. Standing on it without measuring is not much different from not standing at all.
In the short term, this kind of wall-like structure is most frustrating for frequent people coming and going, with fees and slippage being deducted daily. Looking at the longer term, the chip trading within this range is not a bad thing; the longer you grind, the less floating chips you have.
With your current position, can you still hold a drop of 3,000 points? Or are you already calculating the liquidation price?#闪迪财报双超预期, an additional $14 billion repurchase authorization $SKHY
This collective downward movement has returned to the downward channel
Short positions opened near 1100 for SK Hynix are still holding, and the spot price has already reached around 1051
Let's see if it can break below support and continue to decline tonight
As mentioned earlier, 1070-1050 is the first support zone. Now that the price has fallen to this range, it means the downward structure after the failed rebound is still being realized.
The logic hasn't changed:
Positive factors are concentrated in the field, but sectors remain stagnant; The downward channel hasn't broken through, and even support has started to be lost.
✔ Short selling opened near 1100
✔ The current price is 1056, already above 44 points
✔ Original stop loss at 1132
✔ Weakness continues, with targets still around 1012
At the current position, I won't chase short positions anymore, only manage my positions. Once unrealized gains expand, protection will gradually be tightened to prevent profit-taking orders from turning into losses again.
I shorted not the entire storage cycle, but after all the positive news had been released, this rebound still failed.
Now that the price has given the answer, all that's left is to stick to the plan.闪迪和西部数据财报发布后盘后大跌，二者当期业绩都小幅超预期，但下季度指引不及预期，加上西部数据对比希捷增长偏弱，才引发下跌。
存储行业整体基本面向好，AI带动需求旺盛供给紧张，这次是前期预期过高的短期回调，仅两个小风险，长期行业景气逻辑没变，依然看好ADP employment cools, Fed policy divergence intensifies: the market is repricing the next phase of direction
The U.S. job market is sending out new signals.
The latest ADP employment data shows a significant slowdown in corporate hiring and new jobs falling short of market expectations. Although ADP data is not fully equivalent to the official non-farm payroll data, as an important indicator of U.S. companies' willingness to hire, it still influences the market's assessment of economic resilience.
In recent times, one of the biggest pillars of the U.S. economy has been the job market.
Consumption relies on employment, economic growth depends on consumption, and the Fed's important policy formulation references also come from employment and inflation.
Now that ADP employment is cooling down, market attention has once again returned to a core issue:
Is the U.S. economy on a "soft landing," or is it gradually entering a phase of growth pressure?
From the current situation, the slowdown in employment is a double-edged sword for the market.
On one hand, cooling employment means wage growth pressure may ease, which is conducive to further inflation decline, which will increase market expectations for future policy shifts.
On the other hand, if employment continues to deteriorate, it could mean economic momentum is declining, and the Fed needs to be more cautious in balancing inflation targets and economic pressures.
This is also why there has been a clear divergence within the Fed recently.
Some officials believe that inflation remains sticky and policy adjustments should not be made too soon, or prices may rebound again.
Others argue that as the job market cools, policies need to pay more attention to economic growth risks.
In short:
Hawks worry that "inflation is not over."
Dovish factions worry that "the economy is starting to slow down."
What the market is truly waiting for is the balance between the two.
For risk assets, the impact of ADP employment cooling is also quite complex.
If the market interprets this as "the economy is cooling but not in recession," then improved liquidity expectations could support tech stocks, growth assets, and the crypto market.
But if subsequent data continues to deteriorate—such as a significant rise in unemployment or increased layoffs—the market may begin trading in recession risks, and short-term volatility will increase.
For DaDing and Ethereum, the core logic still revolves around two directions:
First, look at US dollar liquidity expectations.
If employment continues to weaken, market expectations for a loose environment may strengthen, which would support risk assets.
Second, look at the risk appetite of the capital.
If investors believe the economy is cooling rather than recession, then funds may continue to seek high-growth directions.
But if the market starts worrying about a hard economic landing and risk-averse sentiment intensifies, short-term rallies are prone to fluctuation.
So what the market is truly trading now is not just a single ADP data, but how the U.S. economic cycle is changing.
My viewpoint:
The cooling employment does not mean the economy is facing immediate problems, but it reminds the market that the strongest pillar of the U.S. economy is gradually weakening.
Next, focus on three key points:
First, will nonfarm payroll data continue to weaken?
Second, whether inflation data will continue to decline.
Third, whether the Fed's policy path will become further diverged.
The market is never trading a single data sheet but trading future expectations.
For traders, it is crucial to control the pace at this stage and avoid chasing rises and selling losses based on a single piece of news.
True major market movements often arise from resonance between economic cycles and capital flows. The market is now waiting for the next certainty signal. $BTC $ETH $SNDK #ADP就业降温, Fed policy divergences have intensified An earnings report that exceeded expectations, yet did not lead to a price increase.
This precisely indicates that the focus of market trading has shifted.
SpaceX released its first earnings report since going public, with core data such as revenue, AI business growth, and narrowed losses all beating market expectations. However, the stock price did not continue its strength after hours; instead, it declined. This shows that capital attention is no longer solely on the performance itself.
What truly makes the market hesitant are the two upcoming variables.
One is AI investment. Although the AI business performed impressively, the company also stated it will maintain high capital expenditures in the future. Short-term profit margins will inevitably be affected. Long-term investors see growth potential, but short-term traders see cost pressure.
The other, and more immediate pressure, is the unlocking of approximately 911.5 million shares on August 6. Unlocking does not necessarily mean selling, but it implies a significant increase in potential supply. The market often prices in this risk in advance, so even if the earnings beat expectations, it is difficult to immediately push the stock price higher.
From a trading perspective, I believe we are no longer trading the earnings report but trading expectations.
If the actual selling pressure after unlocking is not as severe as the market fears, there could be a recovery following a "bad news priced in" scenario; but if early shareholders concentrate on cashing out, short-term volatility is likely to continue increasing.
Performance determines long-term value, while capital flow determines short-term price.
At least for SpaceX now, the latter is the market’s main focus in the coming days. $SKHYNIX South Korea didn't leave a backdoor for crypto taxation; this time it's really going to be shut down
On August 5, the South Korean National Assembly officially passed a resolution — the virtual asset taxation bill would not be postponed and would proceed as originally planned. $SNDK
Starting January 1, 2026, crypto asset trading income will be officially taxed at a rate of 22%, with an annual exemption of 2.5 million KRW. Previously, the industry expected another postponement, after all, it has been postponed three times since 2022. This time, I won't back down.
Short-term sentiment shocks may reduce Korean retail investors, and while the market is under pressure, it is unlikely to collapse.
Compliance acceleration in the medium term, taxation means crypto assets are officially incorporated into the financial regulatory system, institutional capital inflows are opening, and short-term pain is benefiting both the long term. In the long run, Korean won stablecoins and compliant exchanges may accelerate their implementation.
In the short term, look at sentiment; in the medium term, look at compliance; in the long term, look at the landscape. There are unplanned tax costs for unrealized gains, long-term allocation needs, and other emotional releases before making moves.

#Circle财报后押注Arc, can USDC experience new growth? 🎯 Gold surges 3%, but BTC sleeps at 64,000: Has the story of "digital gold" been shattered?
This morning, gold and silver surged across the board.
Spot gold: surged to $4,300
Spot silver: broke through $62
COMEX Gold Futures: Reached a high of $4,267, surged over 3% intraday
The catalyst is simple:
US July ADP employment added only 44,000 (expected 65,000–75,000). The employment data was a major upset, directly dampening expectations for a rate hike. As a result, both the dollar and US Treasury yields plunged, while gold and silver took off.
But what is BTC, touted as "digital gold," doing?
It is trading sideways near $64,000, with an intraday gain of less than 1%, steady and unchanged.
📉 Data doesn't lie: correlations are completely broken
If you look back at the data, you'll find that the narrative of "digital gold" will no longer make sense by 2026:
Short-term performance: Gold surged 3% in a single day, while BTC reacted almost unchanged.
Long-term trend: Gold has risen 9% this year, while BTC has fallen 11%.
Expert opinion: Deutsche Bank bluntly states that BTC is "no longer digital gold"; Peter Schiff is sharper, arguing that the correlation between the two has never truly existed.
❓ While gold is in the sky, what is BTC waiting for?
If it's not following gold, then what exactly is BTC following?
And the US stock market? The S&P and Nasdaq are rising, but BTC is not following.
Along with funding? ETFs saw a net inflow of $211.5 million on Tuesday, but prices remained unchanged.
And geopolitics? Progress has been made in US-Iran negotiations, and the market remains unchanged.
💡 Core conclusion: The pricing logic has been completely decoupled
It's not that BTC is failing, but its underlying pricing logic and gold have taken two different paths.
Gold in trading: interest rate expectations, absolute hedge, traditional fiat credit hedging.
BTC in trading: crypto-specific liquidity, regulatory compliance process, and its own halving cycle.
BTC can't fall or rise right now; it's just waiting at 64,000 for its own 'real catalyst' (such as a real rate cut or substantial action by major institutions).
Next time someone recklessly brags you that "BTC is digital gold," you can just throw today's candlestick in their face. Gold is celebrating, BTC is sleeping. This is the most authentic answer for 2026.
$BTC $ETH $XAU
#黄金重返4200美元, why hasn't BTC risen in line with the rise? $CVX A 7% intraday rebound cannot mask the structural risks of event-driven selling pressure and deteriorating positions. Convex TVL fell 24.3% in one week to $458.6 million, with revenue down over 80% so far in 2026. Combined with the unlocked 500,000 locked CVX unlocked, this significantly curbs risk appetite for chasing highs. If selling triggers a break below the $1.36-$1.40 support line, the price is highly likely to further probe toward $1.18-$1.20. A bullish reversal requires the daily chart to effectively hold the $1.53-$1.58 resistance zone and a significant recovery in protocol bribery revenue.
#俄罗斯加密监管法9月生效, the boundaries between transactions and payments are clear, #CLARITY法案推进受阻 Senate divide widened by #意大利大行减IBIT普通股94%, and ETH staked positions increased1. Analysis of SanDisk's subsequent trends
SanDisk's Q4 revenue was $8.97 billion, up 372% year-on-year, but its stock price plunged in after-hours trading, down 47% in July. The highest increase this year reached 858%, with the market fully pricing in the ultra-high expectations for AI storage—the current transaction is no longer "earnings delivered," but rather "consistently beating expectations." The company's median revenue guidance for next quarter is $10.55 billion, significantly below analysts' expectations of $11.16 billion. Any signal that falls short of expectations could trigger a sharp correction.
Core risks are concentrated in three points: First, the gross margin of 84.6% is near a historic high, with guidance for next quarter remaining flat, and two-thirds of revenue growth is driven by price increases rather than volume expansion, so the marginal dividends from price increases are diminishing; Second, consumer business plunged 32% month-on-month, with the company overly reliant on a few cloud providers, resulting in a high concentration of customers weakening bargaining power; Third, storage cycle risks remain unresolved. Every time a super #SanDisk financial report in history exceeds expectations, with a new $14 billion buyback that follows a downturn, and Yangtze Memory's global market share has climbed to about 13%, the competitive landscape continues to deteriorate.
The high growth in performance cannot hide multiple pressures such as expected overdraw, peak gross margins, cyclical turning points, and the rise of Chinese competitors. SanDisk remains a good company, but after its stock price surged this year, it has seriously drawn into its future, and the risk of valuation revaluation should not be underestimated.

#ADP就业降温, Fed policy divides have intensified $SNDK #内存卖方市场延续, can the Korean stock market see a turnaround?
An interesting market move: the memory contract price rally cycle is still ongoing, but the Korean storage sector has already been heavily suppressed. Many people are puzzled: despite the solid fundamentals, why has the stock price fallen so sharply and whether it can reverse later?
TrendForce's data is on display: in Q3, DRAM contract prices are expected to continue rising 13%-18% quarter-on-quarter, and NAND flash is up 10%-15% quarter-on-quarter, marking five consecutive quarters of gains, with the seller's market structure unchanged. On the supply side, the three major manufacturers are very restrained in expansion, with large-scale new capacity not released until mid-2027; AI servers continue to eat up enterprise-level storage capacity, with manufacturers prioritizing high-profit computing power orders, while consumer-grade capacity is continuously squeezed, making the supply-demand gap difficult to close in the short term.
The performance has also been delivered out. Samsung's storage business revenue surged in Q2, with DRAM market share returning to 39%, reclaiming the world's top spot; SK Hynix's profit margin hit a record high, with ample cash on hand. But after the financial report was released, the stock price actually plunged—not because of the performance collapse, but because the market had set expectations too high beforehand. If the consensus fell even slightly, funds would flee.
A large part of the blame for this round of Korean stock market crashes lies with local leveraged funds.
Previously, Korean retail investors frantically pushed for double-leveraged ETFs to bet on savings, causing leverage to swell rapidly, with half of market volatility driven by margin financing piles. After regulators raised margin requirements, leveraged ETF turnover plummeted by 90%, with many accounts passively liquidated, causing massive drawdowns in Samsung and SK Hynix. This is a typical example of a slash caused by leveraged clearing, not purely driven by fundamentals.
Two other practical risks have also been suppressing valuations:
First, the monopoly narrative of HBM has been broken. SK Hynix's HBM market share has fallen from its peak, and Samsung will deliver HBM4 in bulk to NVIDIA in the second half of the year. The market is concerned that ultra-high profits will be diverted;
Second, sentiment in the US storage sector is dragged down. SanDisk's earnings guidance fell short of expectations, dragging down the global semiconductor sector. Korean stocks are heavily weighted, and volatility will be further amplified.
So, can it really reverse the trend?
The bullish logic is clear: the storage price hike cycle is not over, HBM4 shipments are in batches in the second half of the year, enterprise SSD demand continues to surge, and Q3 earnings still have room for upward revision; After a round of aggressive deleveraging, sector valuations have fallen back to very low levels, many institutions have indicated recovery opportunities, and the overall logic of AI computing power capital spending remains intact.
But never blindly buy the dip; the risks should not be ignored either.
Fed rate hike expectations are repeatedly wavering, the US dollar strengthens, and Korean stocks, heavily held by foreign investors, will continue to be constrained by macro liquidity; Domestic storage manufacturers continue to expand production, focusing on mid- and low-end markets at this stage, but will gradually squeeze market share in the long run; Consumer electronics demand remains weak, and if future AI capital spending falls short of expectations, the price hike cycle may end prematurely.
Even in the crypto world, we need to stay alert. Expectations for AI computing power will be transmitted across markets. Korean storage stocks represent global AI hardware sentiment. If this trend continues to weaken, risk assets like BTC and ETH will likely be suppressed; If the storage sector recovers and recovers, it will also indirectly benefit the entire risk asset market.
In summary, the memory seller's market is still ongoing, but a direct V-shaped reversal is very difficult; most likely, it will be a sharp drop followed by a fluctuating bottom. The real trend opportunity depends on Q3 earnings and actual HBM4 shipment data to verify it.
Do you think Korean stocks are now falling out of the golden pit, or is the decline just beginning? [In-depth Analysis] L1 + DEX + Infrastructure: Breakdown of ALD Ecosystem Layout and Node Mechanisms
Looking back at the development history of public blockchains, early network validators and ecosystem builders often played key roles in network scaling and consensus building. As Web3 architectures evolve toward diversification in 2026, single-function networks are facing challenges in ecosystem capacity, while integrated infrastructure is gradually becoming one of the market focal points.
ALD attempts to create a closed-loop ecosystem from underlying computing power to upper-layer application flow through a trinity architecture of "public chain + decentralized exchange (DEX) + Web3 infrastructure."
1. Core Ecosystem Logic
Three-dimensional collaboration: Deeply binds the underlying L1 scaling capabilities with native DEX liquidity pools, while relying on the infrastructure layer to lower the threshold for Web3 application development and improve on-chain interaction efficiency.
Node Network Staking: Unlike some leading public chains that require tens of thousands of USDT in staking thresholds, ALD launched its first batch of partner node solutions (with an entry threshold set at around 800 USDT) before mainnet launch, aiming to reduce the centralization of validator node distribution and attract a broader early community to participate in decentralized network construction.
2. Node ladder mechanism
According to the official community node expansion roadmap, the first batch of nodes is limited to 1,000 nodes, with a stepwise increment mechanism introduced in later phases. This design aims to prioritize incentives for early network builders, ensuring the stability and cohesion of early validator node distribution.
For creators and investors following the early development of public chain ecosystems, observing the progress of network construction and tokenomics design before the mainnet launch is a key indicator for evaluating its long-term value. Guys, CVX rose 7% today, with the veteran DeFi leader showing a technical rebound from the bottom. The protocol still controls about 52% of Curve's voting power, but TVL has clearly declined in the short term—governance dominance remains, but profitability is declining.
What is CVX?
Convex Finance is the "governance hub" of the Curve ecosystem. By locking vlCVX, CVX holders control about 52% of Curve's voting rights, with the direction of weekly CRV liquidity incentive allocation decisions made by CVX holders.
The maximum token supply is 100 million hard caps, with institutional and team ownership unlocking fully completed in 2025, with almost no new project selling pressure, and nearly 93% of market circulation remains in circulation. vlCVX is a user-actively locked token, not a token waiting to be unlocked by the project.
However, protocol fundamentals have clearly weakened: Phase slicing data shows Convex TVL fell 24.3% over the week to $458.6 million; Protocol revenue fell from $35.7 million in full-year 2025 to only $6.6 million so far in 2026, a decline of over 80%.
Hidden risk: Mochi whale positions left behind in 2021
In November 2021, Mochi Finance founder manipulated oracles, extracting about $46 million in liquidity and buying 1.05 million CVX locked in Convex.
On March 19, 2026, this address sold 550,000 CVX, directly plunging the price from 1.97 to 1.68. Currently, about 500,000 CVX are still locked in Convex, and future unlocks and selling will create potential selling pressure.
Key price points
Resistance levels: 1.53-1.58 (a breakout would target 1.74-1.80),
Support below: 1.36-1.40 (if it fails, 1.18-1.20).
1.53-1.58 is the key resistance zone, and 1.36 is the bullish defensive line. TVL fell 24% in one week, revenue shrank by 80%, and the sustained rebound requires fundamental support.
CVX has the scarce Curve governance moat, with a clean token unlock structure. However, TVL and protocol revenue continued to shrink, weakening fundamentals. The value of governance rights is real, but the ongoing decline in protocol profitability will further weaken this narrative.
Additionally, the 500,000 locked CVX left by Mochi's founder represents a potential selling pressure hanging overhead.
For CVX, tracking Curve's TVL and Convex protocol bribery fee income is far more valuable than tracking short-term candlesticks.

#Circle财报后押注Arc, can USDC experience new growth? Only go long, not short on altcoins. Going long can be at most double, short selling wastes your life, short selling is easy to make money and can be made daily, but encountering a meme coin is basically useless......
For example, if you buy HEI at 0.1 and get $1,000 at zero, you'll lose $1,000. If you go long at 0.1 and go $1,000 at 0.5, that's $5,000. There's no upper limit to profit from going long, but limited profit from shorting.
When altcoins get popular, a few monster coins will always appear. In the crypto world, it's not impossible for underdogs to make a comeback. After all, there are far more short sellers than in any market. Everyone knows altcoins will eventually hit zero. In theory, as long as you have enough capital to short, you can go long for profit. But since we're both underdogs, where do we get unlimited bullets?
Most altcoins have insiders lurking with market makers. You just need to observe your holdings. The shell of small-cap altcoin contracts is about $5 million, meaning that as long as altcoins aren't delisted, they'll almost always buy around $5 million in market value.
So, with a market cap of $5 million, no hype, no liquidity, why do you hold two to three million dollars? Both positions are equal to market value. Do you think such a counterfeit would have a market holder?
For this kind of altcoin, you only need to ambush and give it $1,000. Your cost is lower than the marketer's, and your advantage is to enter and exit quickly. The market players can't leave, and the ship is too big to turn around. If the price keeps falling, the market players lose more than you, so it's not a bad road.
In short, if you want to turn things around, go long and short in the short term and you can make money in the short term. If you encounter a demon coin, just go to sleep and short-sell for the rest of your life.
#闪迪财报双超预期, an additional $14 billion repurchase authorization $SNDK $BTC The AI infrastructure boom faces new obstacles: Is the American community starting to say "no"?
Competition in the AI era is becoming increasingly fierce, but now a new question is emerging—where exactly should data centers be built?
On August 6, it was reported that U.S. Congressman Ro Kana plans to introduce a "Data Center Rights Bill," aiming to give local communities more decision-making power and allow residents to reject data center projects that do not align with local interests.
Why did this spark controversy?
Because behind AI lies not only code and algorithms, but also a large number of data centers to support it.
These massive AI infrastructures are consuming massive amounts of energy and water, and many residents are worried:
Will electricity prices go up?
Will local water pressure increase?
Will the original farmland and residential areas turn into large server bases?
Khanna said that during his recent visit to Pennsylvania, the most common feedback he received was opposition to the rapid expansion of data centers.
His point is clear:
AI development can be supported, but ordinary communities must not be forced to bear the costs.
Currently, the proposal includes several requirements, including:
Data center construction requires local community recognition;
Enhancing energy use transparency;
Prioritize the use of clean and reliable energy;
Limit pollution emissions.
In fact, some regions have already begun to take action, with some places, including New York State, restricting or even suspending new data center construction.
This reflects a bigger issue:
The AI wave is entering a "battle for infrastructure," but behind the rapid expansion lies challenges in energy, land, and social costs.
In the past, the market focused on:
Who has the strongest AI model;
Possible future attention includes:
Who can solve the energy problem behind computing power?
AI is not just a competition of technology, but also a competition of resources.
In short:
The future of AI is not just about computing power, but also about who can make computing power truly realized.Rocket is set to be unlocked on the 6th. Earlier this week, the overall atmosphere in the commercial space sector was actually quite good. Leading mid-sized rocket company Rocket Lab directly delivered major positive news, securing two large contracts with the U.S. Space Force, totaling $663 million. These include satellite network construction orders and long-term launch mission contracts, directly locking in stable revenue for the coming year. As soon as the news broke, funds immediately entered the market to allocate positions, and individual stocks steadily rose, with weekly gains exceeding 11%, carving out an independent rally amid market volatility and sharp declines in storage stocks.
The market logic at the time was simple: the certainty of military and aerospace orders was maximized, unlike consumer flash memory, which was not affected by cyclical fluctuations. Combined with the long-term stories of satellite internet and space computing power, it was a preferred safe haven for capital. Many traders took advantage of SanDisk's short positions and combined it with long rocket stocks for hedging to balance sector volatility risk.
But the industry leader SpaceX directly poured cold water on the entire aerospace theme. On August 4, intraday trading remained relatively stable, and the market had hoped the first IPO earnings report would fully stabilize valuations. The paper data in the financial report was actually very strong: revenue nearly doubled year-on-year, profit growth approached 200%, and Starlink's profitability continued to improve.
But the capital market never looks at past results. The company revealed it will invest huge amounts in space AI computing power and Starship R&D, meaning it will be difficult to realize profits in the short term. Funds instantly lost patience, and the stock price plunged more than 7 points after hours, with all gains during the day being given back.
The negative news didn't end there; soon after, the market began to ferment with massive unlocking events. On August 6, over 900 million original shares were unlocked, and early investors had extremely low holding costs, with concentrated sell-offs occurring at any time. After panic spread, SpaceX's largest intraday drop exceeded 10%, its post-listing high was cut in half, and its trillion-yuan market value vanished, dragging down a wave of small and mid-sized aerospace concept stocks to surge.Many media outlets are spreading the rumors that "Duan Yongping has drastically reduced his stake in Pop Mart, dropping from 7.65% to 5.55%," claiming that Duan Yongping is about to surrender and admit he made a mistake in investing in Pop Mart. Is that really true?
In fact, this is a classic case of "a news blunder caused by ignorance of options."
This statement feels like a book to those who have never traded options. Let me translate it in the simplest language:
According to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the major shareholder's declared position (long position) includes not only the stock you actually buy (the underlying stock) but also the option you go long on that stock.
When Duan Yongping bought Pop Mart before, he didn't use direct buying on the secondary market, but rather his favorite trick—selling put options.
The essence of Sell Put is to open an insurance company. Duan Yongping then told the market, "I promise to buy Pop Mart at a price of 145 yuan someday in the future." As the price for my promise, you must first pay me a royalty (premium). "
If on the expiration date, Pop Mart's stock price is above 145 yuan (for example, rising to 160 yuan), others definitely won't want to sell it at 145. At this point, Duan Yongping's promise was voided, the options expired, and he made the premium for free, but he didn't buy the real stock.
But in the HKEX system, once the option expires, the declared "long position" number automatically decreases. This is what the media calls a "significant share reduction."
But in reality? The actual Pop Mart shares he holds (bought with real money) have been sold for less than 0.1%. And he just said a few days ago that Pop Mart will most likely hold for more than ten years.
What does this matter reveal?
First, never read secondhand news for stock trading. Most likely, the media editor has never even opened an options account and can't tell the difference between "long position reduction" and "selling the underlying stock."
Second, for a big shot like Duan Yongping, the cost and margin for error to build positions are much lower than for retail investors. They can use Sell Puts to earn interest while waiting for low prices, allowing you to rush in and buy the underlying stock. That's why "copying homework" often fails to capture the essence.#闪迪财报双超预期, an additional $14 billion repurchase authorization was added
SanDisk's financial report far exceeded expectations, so why did its stock price plunge? The market is not really trading performance
SanDisk's financial report this time would be considered impressive at any time
Quarterly revenue approached $9 billion, a significant year-on-year increase; Earnings per share exceeded $39, far exceeding market expectations; Gross margin has surpassed 84%, with profitability nearly reaching a historic high. Data center business continues to be the largest engine, with revenue growing several times and enterprise-level AI demand remaining strong; The company also successfully turned profitable for the full year, with cash flow continuously improving. At the same time, the company announced an additional $14 billion share repurchase authorization, further injecting management confidence into the market
According to traditional logic, such a performance should correspond to a major surge
However, the reality is completely the opposite
After the earnings report was released, SanDisk's stock price fell about 8% in after-hours trading, and sentiment across the entire storage sector cooled rapidly. Related companies such as Western Digital and SK Hynix were also dragged down
What truly disappointed the market was not the newly announced results, but the future
The company has provided revenue guidance for the next quarter of $10.3 billion to $10.8 billion. While growth is still maintained, the median is slightly below Wall Street's previous upward expectations. At the same time, gross margins have begun to show signs of peaking and have not continued to reach new highs. With the market already pushing AI rally to its limit, any signal that falls short of expectations will be infinitely amplified by capital
Ultimately, the stock price has long priced in optimistic expectations for the coming years
When valuation is based on the principle that "surprises must be created every quarter," even if the company delivers excellent results, as long as it is not better than the market imagines, it is enough to justify capital realizing profits
Many investors on the X platform have expressed similar views. Some believe the market is trading expectations rather than earnings, and earnings are delivered as a result; Some joke that nowadays the capital market only accepts "continuously exceeding expectations," and even a slight slowdown in growth will be sold off
Additionally, some investors are concerned about the company's business structure
Currently, enterprise-level AI remains the main source of growth, while consumer-grade storage demand has limited recovery. If the industry's price upward cycle gradually ends and corporate business growth returns to normal, overall profitability may struggle to maintain the current high level, which is also a key reason why some funds choose to exit early
From a technical perspective, some traders have begun to focus on key support near 1200. If this level is later broken, it is possible the market will further seek a lower valuation range, which could lead to genuine value capital intervention
However, in the long run, the company's fundamentals have not fundamentally changed
Long-term supply agreements lock in demand for years to come, enterprise customers continue to expand, AI inference and data center construction continue to drive growth in the high-performance storage market, and the company's pricing power and profitability remain competitive
But now, the market's focus is no longer on "whether the company is good," but on "whether it can outperform already high expectations."
When expectations are too high, even the best financial reports can become positive outcomes; Only when emotions are fully released and valuations return to reasonable ranges will long-term investment value become apparent again
At this stage, rather than rushing to bottom-fish, it is better to patiently wait for the market to complete its emotional correction. When valuations and expectations rematch, those companies that can truly benefit from the AI storage wave may see more worthwhile opportunities
$SNDK A quick news flash, those who understand will get it. Changxin Storage directly rejected Apple's price reduction request, quoting prices in line with Samsung and Hynix — this is more worth pondering than the price increase itself. In the past, the terminal giant (Apple) called the shots, and suppliers could only be squeezed on price; now the storage manufacturer dares to say "no" to Apple, indicating that pricing power is shifting from buyers to sellers. Coupled with memory shortages expected until 2027 and production capacity sold out in advance, this is a solid supply-side narrative. The spillover logic to the crypto world is: the market is re-pricing "hard assets with real supply and demand support," while assets like $BTC , driven purely by narrative, are being neglected in the short term. Let's watch and see if this wave of money eventually flows back into crypto. SanDisk took a complete rollercoaster ride this week, with both longs and shorts getting chopped back and forth.
Those playing SanDisk this week probably had their nerves ground down; the first half looked like it was about to hit bottom and take off, but after the earnings report came out, it flipped and plunged, dragging SK Hynix along for a one-day dramatic reversal, causing the entire storage sector sentiment to swing wildly.
Recently, SanDisk’s price halved from its high and hovered around 1200 for a long time, with the bearish pressure mostly released. At the start of this week, SK Hynix suddenly surged violently, rising more than five points in a single day, and the entire Korean semiconductor sector warmed up across the board. Plus, SanDisk just announced a collaboration with Hynix and Google to launch a new AI flash memory product, which made the market suddenly confident that the storage cycle recovery was solid.
With the US dollar weakening slightly and multinational tech companies benefiting from currency exchange profits, short-term funds rushed in to bottom-fish, pushing SanDisk up more than 10 points in a single day, with the price directly touching above 1400. At that time, the community was full of bullish voices, all betting on explosive earnings and another main upward wave riding the industry boom.
Everyone was waiting for the earnings report to confirm the upward trend, but reality poured cold water on the bulls. The earnings data itself was actually very good, with revenue and profits soaring, and the company even allocated billions for stock buybacks—solid positive news. But the capital market never focuses on results already achieved; it cares more about future expectations.
The company’s guidance for the next quarter was less optimistic than institutions expected, and this small flaw triggered profit-taking on the good news. After-hours, the stock price plunged straight down, with short-term funds who chased the highs frantically taking profits and exiting, causing the storage sector to collectively collapse.
The negative sentiment spread directly to Korea when the Asia-Pacific market opened; SK Hynix, which had surged the day before, plunged more than 10%, giving back all its gains in one day. Samsung followed with a big drop, and the Korean market was dragged down by the semiconductor heavyweight, with foreign investors frantically selling chip stocks, creating a vicious cycle of US stock sell-offs and follow-downs in Japan and Korea.
Looking back at this week’s market, it’s clear SanDisk had no independent movement and completely followed SK Hynix’s market and expectations. The stock price had already multiplied several times in the first half of the year, fully pricing in the AI storage benefits in advance. As long as earnings growth can’t continue to exceed expectations, even a slight flaw will trigger a stampede of selling.
Currently, spot flash memory prices remain firm, and AI server storage demand genuinely exists, so the long-term fundamentals have not collapsed. But the short-term speculative atmosphere is already shattered. Relying on the sentiment of the Japan-Korea sector for short-term speculation is too risky; earnings guidance and spot prices are the key factors determining future trends.
In the short term, under the pressure of negative news, it will most likely enter a phase of choppy bottoming. To rebound strongly again, new industry positives or large order news must stimulate it; a pure sentiment rebound is hard to sustain. SpaceX stock flow: The key variable behind the superficial adjustment is the gap between the unloading schedule and the actual price. While the market interprets the drop from 130 to 110 as a technical correction, is the price already reflecting the August unloading volume? $SPCX is retesting the 110 resistance level. Based on the original text, it fell from 130 to 110, and clear break-even points have formed across each segment. The key variable is the first unwinding of circulating shares starting tomorrow and the schedule for additional releases on August 6. This is not just a simple positive event, but a structural change where actual soldable shares flow into the market. - Current price: Testing the 110 resistance level, about 15% down from 130 - Release schedule: First circulation starts tomorrow, large-scale additional unwinding planned for August 6 - Position characteristics: Average loss of about 20% for buying above 130, weakening short-term recovery expectations - Market perception: Demand expecting a rebound after correction shifted to a wait-and-see shift After confirming the release schedule. The essence of this decline is more about technical correction than technical adjustment.Undoubtedly, gold breaking through the $4,200 historical peak while Bitcoin failed to follow the rally clearly signals a fundamental rift in the global capital definition of "safe-haven assets." Below is a quantitative breakdown and market outlook for this divergence.
---
1. Why Was BTC Absent from the Golden Feast? (Three Major Certainty Factors)
1. Asset attributes have completely shifted: from "digital gold" to "technology leverage"
Market evidence for 2026 shows that BTC's 90-day correlation with the Nasdaq 100 and leading AI hardware (such as $SNDK) has reached 0.85, while its correlation with gold drops to just 0.12. When gold surged to $4,200 due to geopolitical sovereign risks, the market was accompanied by expectations of liquidity tightening. In this environment, BTC, as a high-beta risk asset, is prioritized by institutions as a "margin ATM" rather than a safe haven—this historical pattern has been broken.
2. The momentum of central bank buying and ETF inflows is misaligned
The core driving force pushing gold above 4200 is the physical demand for de-dollarized reserves by global central banks (especially in countries in the South), a buying opportunity that is both exclusive and sustainable. In contrast, the incremental capital from BTC ETFs is entirely dependent on the risk appetite of Silicon Valley and Wall Street. Today, the technology sector ($SNDK, etc.) saw large portfolio restructuring, directly draining liquidity from the tech sector, so BTC naturally lost its upward momentum.
3. Dual suppression of real interest rates and recession transactions
Gold is priced at $4,200 in a "deep recession" or "hyperinflation" scenario—capital flowing into physical assets without sovereign risk. BTC's valuation depends on network expansion and leverage cycles; when recession expectations rise, the market classifies it as an "overvalued experimental project," making active net capital outflows inevitable.
---
2. The deterministic impact brought by divergence
· The "digital gold" narrative is staging collapse: BTC will lose its sole right to hedge against inflation in the short term, forcing macro funds to reduce their BTC positions and instead increase holdings in physical gold or PAXG and other gold tokens, intensifying BTC selling pressure.
· Internal crypto funds are accelerating into the RWA sector: the strength of gold will directly push up the premium of on-chain gold tokens ($PAXG, $XAUT), with funds withdrawing from pure air coins and concentrating on real asset protocols backed by physical assets.
· BTC's new anchor targets AI computing power valuation: Since it can no longer follow gold, BTC's future trend will closely monitor tech stocks like $NVDA and $SNDK. Only when the AI hardware sector stabilizes and rebounds can BTC gain support from a "tech premium" rather than a "safe-haven premium."
---
3. Key Future Nodes and Strategies
Core observation period:
· Gold: If the $4,200 level holds steady and the 10-year Treasury yield declines, while BTC remains unmoved, it would be a complete confirmation that BTC has been removed from the safe-haven asset list.
· BTC: Focus on the $58,500-$62,000 chip concentration zone. If it effectively breaks below 58,000, it would mean funds are fully shifting toward gold, opening medium-term downside risk.
Practical Strategy:
· Bulls: Abandon all illusions of "BTC catch-up gold" and strictly follow the trends of tech stocks like $SNDK as the guiding principle—only when liquidity in the tech sector returns can BTC restart its upward momentum.
· Arbitrage: Going long with $PAXG (gold token) and shorting $BTC paired trades is a high institutional win rate strategy in the current environment on August 6, which can be executed decisively.
---
The conclusion is undeniable: gold's return to 4200 is a victory for old-world defensive logic, while BTC's stagflation is precisely the growing pain new technology infrastructure must endure during liquidity contractions. At this moment, blind bottom-fishing is absolutely unacceptable; the only correct choice is to wait for clear signs of a halt in the US AI hardware sector.Bitcoin has been repeatedly tugging around the $64,000 level, a trend that has indeed made many holders anxious. Data from a certain institution shows that although long-term holders have migrated their shares, less than one-tenth actually flow into exchanges, indicating that the market has not experienced panic flight. On-chain chip cleanups are underway, but there is still about 30% room to the final bottom structure of historical bear markets, meaning the shakeout is not yet fully finished. US spot ETFs saw a net outflow of about 65,800 $BTC in June, marking the worst monthly record, and the buying power from corporate reserves clearly cannot fully cover this funding gap. With insufficient incremental capital, even if selling power gradually weakens, there is still a lack of fuel to quickly start the market. The volatility compression in the options market is quite noteworthy. Bullish implied volatility has slipped to a historic low of around 23%. Traders are neither betting on a surge nor frantically hedged the plunge. This extreme calm often brews a shift, but without demand-side support, the engine for an upward breakout won't ignite. Currently, the market is still stuck in the $64,000 central range. If volume increases and it holds above $65,000, it could extend toward $67,000 to $68,000. Conversely, if it falls below the $62,000–$63,000 cluster, the probability of pullback to $60,000 increases significantly. ETF capital flows, trading volume changes, and key price gains and losses are the core criteria for judging a true trend reversal, and none of these have given clear answers yet.#意大利大行减IBIT普通股94%, increasing staked ETH Italy's largest bank is answering a key question with its positions: institutional-level crypto allocation has shifted from "whether to buy" to "how to buy more cost-effectively."
United Bank of São Paulo's Q2 13F filing was released last night, with a clear adjustment: IBIT common shares were cut 93.7%, from 646,800 shares to 40,700 shares; corresponding call option shares shrank from 2.5 million shares to 18,000 shares, a decrease of 99.3%, while 500,000 new put options were issued.
Meanwhile, staked Ethereum ETFs (ETHB) tripled from 116,200 shares to 349,600 shares. Bitwise's Solana staking ETF was almost completely liquidated, dropping from 2,817 shares to 7 shares.
But that doesn't mean it's withdrawing from Bitcoin. ARKB still holds 3.47 million shares, valued at $67.6 million, making it its largest crypto ETF position. The XRP Trust remained unchanged, and a small position was opened in the Morgan Stanley Bitcoin Trust.
Rather than "fleeing Bitcoin," it's more about "redistributing"—reducing IBIT holdings and holding a cheaper Bitcoin exposure.
Three details worth digging into:
First, staking yields have become the core driving force. Bitcoin ETFs only have price exposure, while ETHB can benefit from both price gains and staking yields. Against the backdrop of falling eurozone interest rates and narrowing bank spreads, this yield gap is enough for institutions to take action.
Second, put options do not directly equate to a short signal. The 13F filing does not disclose the full option structure or short exposure; the 500,000 put options may be part of a collar strategy or part of a higher volatility trade. It cannot be simply interpreted as "bearish."
Third, the position at the end of June may have already changed. 13F can be submitted up to 45 days after the quarter ends, when Bitcoin hovered below $30,000; now it has stood above $60,000, indicating a significant adjustment in positions.
The real signal of this rebalancing is: when a bank managing trillions in assets starts to calculate the balance between "holding coins for interest" and "pure price fluctuations," it indicates that institutional crypto allocation is shifting from "whether to allocate or not" to "how to allocate more cost-effectively."

山寨币整体行情推演
为何山寨沉默没有上涨情绪
你手里的山寨目前还在拿住吗
作为一名老韭菜我感觉现在市场最大变化：本轮不再是全面普涨的旧山寨季，是结构性分化行情，绝大多数小币很难吃到大行情，只有少数叙事赛道会脉冲走强。
一、山寨币底层运行规律
1. 完全依附大盘，没有独立大牛市
资金顺序：BTC → ETH →中大市值山寨 →小盘题材币（LPT等）→Meme币。
- BTC企稳横盘、ETH跑赢BTC之后，资金才会外溢到山寨；
- BTC一旦转跌，山寨跌幅会远大于主流币，小盘币杀跌最为凶猛；
- 现在BTC主导占比56%附近，还没到山寨大规模爆发的条件（一般要跌到55%以下）。
2. 现在是存量博弈市场
机构资金大多通过ETF配置BTC、ETH，很少流入小山寨；山寨上涨靠存量资金轮动，脉冲快、持续性差，利好落地经常兑现下跌。
3. 币种两极分化加剧
✅能获得资金：有真实业务收入、代币模型健康、赛道叙事强的中盘币种。
❌持续承压：通胀高、无落地、大户筹码集中、只有故事没有营收的小盘币（例如LPT这类DePIN），就算反弹也多是短期炒作，很难走出长期趋势行情。
二、三种情景推演
情景1：乐观情景（山寨局部小行情）
触发条件：BTC站稳65000上方，ETH持续走强，BTC市占率回落，市场增量资金小幅进场。
- 表现：不是全部山寨普涨，板块轮动炒作。RWA、DePIN、AI+区块链轮流脉冲；
- 小盘币特征：短线暴涨，但是上涨周期很短，上涨之后快速回落；
- LPT这类DePIN：会跟随板块出现反弹，但受制于代币通胀、商业化弱，反弹高度有限。
重点：就算乐观，也是结构性行情，大量山寨依旧跑输大盘。
情景2：中性震荡情景（当前最有可能）
BTC维持箱体震荡63000‑65000来回拉锯，没有大级别单边趋势。
- 山寨整体：板块快速轮动，一日游行情居多。今天DePIN涨、明天RWA涨，后天切换AI；
- 小盘山寨：反弹一波就回落，很难走出连续周线级别上涨；
- 操作特征：震荡市假突破极多，流动性差，插针频繁。
情景3：悲观情景（山寨集体承压）
触发条件：BTC有效跌破63000支撑，宏观数据恶化、监管利空。
- 资金避险，抛售顺序：Meme币 →小盘山寨（LPT等）→中盘币种 →ETH→BTC；
- 小盘山寨跌幅会远超BTC，很多币种创新低；
- DePIN、RWA衍生品同步大幅回调。
目前小山寨
1. DePIN（LPT）
赛道叙事还在，但项目商业化收入不足，代币持续通胀。
只有市场炒作AI算力题材的时候才有短线脉冲；大盘走弱的时候，跌幅会大于主流币，很难走出独立行情。
（SPCX、SNDK）
行情绑定美股，不是纯粹加密逻辑。
优点：现实资产叙事；风险：有溢价折价、对手风险，受美股财报、解禁消息冲击巨大，不属于传统山寨币，但波动和小盘币一样剧烈。
四、观察山寨行情的关键信号
1. BTC主导占比（BTC.D）：跌到55%以下，才代表资金开始流向山寨板块；
2. ETH/BTC汇率：ETH持续跑赢BTC，是山寨行情开启前置信号；
3. 成交量：山寨上涨必须放量，无量上涨基本都是诱多反弹；
4. 板块效应：单一币种上涨没用，需要整个赛道集体异动，持续性才会高。
仅个人观点分析 管理好仓位
大家有不同观点的可以交流探讨下
大家稳步前进 一起加油 Brothers, RESOLV rose 8.17% today, currently priced at $0.01876, rebounding about 30% from the historical low of $0.01427. Behind this bullish candle is the near completion of debt repayment and the newly launched RWA business line. What is RESOLV? RESOLV is the native token of the Resolv protocol. The old product USR is an ETH/BTC over-collateralized interest-bearing stablecoin, earning staking yields and funding rates through a Delta-neutral strategy; the RLP risk pool acts as an insurance layer, bearing protocol risk in exchange for higher returns. The project’s peak TVL exceeded $500 million, securing institutional investments from Coinbase Ventures and Arrington Capital. The scars left by the March attack On 2026-03-22, attackers breached AWS KMS infrastructure and minted 80 million uncollateralized USR with only about 200,000 USDC, exchanging for approximately $25 million ETH to escape. The protocol was immediately paused, and USR sharply de-pegged. TVL plummeted from $500 million to less than $14.7 million, a maximum drawdown of 97%. RESOLV fell from its ATH of $0.4108 to a low of $0.01427, a drop of over 95%. The protocol still has a debt gap of about $78 million, and the stolen 25 million ETH has not been recovered to date. RecoThe total stablecoin market capitalization has dropped to $300.38 billion from an all-time high (ATH) of $322 billion—a decline of 6.8%.
In the previous cycle, the total stablecoin market capitalization fell by 32%, dropping from $185 billion to $124 billion.
Could the stablecoin market cap see such a significant decline this time around? I don't think so; stablecoin adoption has made massive strides since 2023.
The current BTC price is lower than it was when the total stablecoin market capitalization stood at $185 billion.
P.S. DefiLlama shows a 30-day decline of 1.16%. Around this time in July 2023, the stablecoin market capitalization was $311 billion. The figures don't align; either the current market cap should be above $300 billion, or the rate of decline should be greater than 1.16%.
$BTC $ETH $SOL
#SandiskBeatAndBuyback #CircleArcLaunch #EarningsRealityCheck Oil prices have already priced in the "agreement nearing completion," but BTC remains stuck below $65,000.
Iran and Oman are finalizing a temporary navigation arrangement for the Strait of Hormuz. The discussed plan includes dividing inbound and outbound shipping lanes, with both parties participating in management. The agreement has not yet been officially completed, and Iran has listed the lifting of the U.S. blockade on its ports as one of the conditions.
The market has already preemptively reduced the geopolitical risk premium.
Brent crude is currently around $79.5, and WTI is about $75.3. In the previous trading day, both fell by 5.3% and 5.7%, respectively. The return of oil prices near $80 does not directly impact the crypto space by making "energy cheaper," but rather by simultaneously easing inflationary pressures and reducing the necessity for the Federal Reserve to continue raising interest rates.
The U.S. 10-year Treasury yield briefly touched around 4.75% this Monday but has since fallen back to about 4.61%, a drop of approximately 14 basis points; the dollar index has also returned to near 99.8. With yields and the dollar cooling off simultaneously, this should theoretically provide a more accommodative valuation environment for BTC.
BTC has indeed attracted capital inflows, but the price reaction remains restrained.
As of 18:18 Beijing time, BTC is around $64,540, with an intraday range of $63,887 to $64,931, less than 1% away from $65,000.
The U.S. spot BTC ETFs have seen net inflows of $170.1 million, $211.5 million, and $244.4 million over the last three trading days, totaling $626 million. At current prices, this equates to about 9,700 BTC, close to 21.5 days of new mining production.
Despite such significant capital inflows, BTC has not made a clear breakout, indicating that selling pressure during the same period is also strong. ETF inflows are currently supporting the price rather than directly triggering a new round of unilateral rally.
The reason is that the navigation agreement primarily improves expectations first; actual supply has not yet resumed. Oil exports from the Gulf region remain about 40% below pre-conflict levels. As long as actual shipping, insurance, and export volumes have not returned to normal, oil prices could reintroduce risk premiums at any negative news.
This also explains why BTC did not immediately take off following the oil price drop. The market is still waiting for the agreement to be signed, actual export recovery, and further confirmation of the interest rate path from U.S. employment data.
Going forward, three numbers can be watched for simultaneous occurrence: Brent consistently stabilizing below $80, the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield falling below 4.6%, and BTC breaking above $65,000 amid continued ETF inflows.
The first two indicate improvements in the macro environment, while the third shows that new capital finally outweighs spot selling pressure.
#伊朗阿曼临时通航协议近落地 $SNDK Brothers, I woke up to find SanDisk plunging 12%. The pre-market article just said "expectations hit the ceiling with no room for error," and it turned out to be a prophecy. The earnings report didn't beat expectations, funds crashed directly, the storage sector collectively flopped, and Western Digital also plunged 12%. But interestingly, in the panic, smart money was quietly picking up chips. Is this hourly price movement a gold trap or a deadly trap? Let's talk a bit.
On the news front, the trigger was earnings guidance falling short of expectations, causing funds to panic and flee. But note, the stock price had already dropped 12.33% before the earnings report, meaning most of the negative news had been priced in. This kind of move is nothing new; if expectations are too high, a surge is triggered first, and waiting for negative news to materialize might actually be less scary. In the short term, oversold is obvious, and bearish sentiment is nearing its peak.
From a technical perspective, looking at the one-hour chart, the MA7 is near 1240 and the MA30 crosses at 1346, indicating short-term bearish alignment. Although the MACD still holds positive at 10.19, after a high death cross between DIF and DEA, it opened downward, showing a rebound with shrinking volume, indicating weak bullish willingness to counterattack. Strong support below is the chip-dense zone between 1200 and 1230, with the first resistance above at the 1300 round number.
Looking at the data, total holdings are 186 million USD, with a long-short ratio slightly higher than 61.37%, which is quite subtle. Among the profitable investors, 489 accounted for 77.91%, with an average opening price of 1329.4 USD. Currently, the unrealized profit is 8.6 million USD. These people are not retail investors, but winners of following the trend. The 576 losing investors have an average cost of 1268.97 USD, totaling only 1.81 million USD, indicating that the cutting losses have not yet been cleared, and there is still short-term selling pressure to digest.
My personal view: The news is negative, but smart money is more bullish and bearish than net money, indicating big money is accumulating shares through panic. However, poor earnings guidance is a major weakness, and short-term volatility is inevitable. At this level, I prefer mostly low bullish positions, but I will definitely not chase the rally. Wait until the pullback reaches the 1200-1230 support zone before considering it, no rush to act. I still hold long positions in options on Bitcoin and Ethereum. For this kind of individual stock gamble, I'll watch the show for now and wait until the gold pit is fully dug. #闪迪财报双超预期, $14 billion new buyback authorization #SanDisk's earnings both beat expectations, adding $14 billion buyback authorization #ADP就业降温, Fed policy divergence #黄金重返4200美元. Why hasn't BTC followed the rise? 【BTC 美盘前更新】非农倒计时：打勾清单 + 三档剧本
一、下午发生了什么（与早帖修正）
指标 早帖预测 实际（截至 18:00–20:00 UTC） 判断
BTC 价格 守 6.4 万 $64,530–64,887，日涨约 0.7–1.2% ✅ 守稳
65,000 阻力 成败看日收 亚盘冲高至 68,044、收于 66,627 一带，卖单墙压在 65,500 ⚠️ 未站稳 6.5 万日线
ETF 情绪 两日 +3.3 亿 8/5 再 +2.44 亿（连续第3日），IBIT 独揽 1.97 亿 ✅ 偏多
修正一句早帖：亚盘那波摸高不是“假突破”那么简单，4 小时内清算了 1.42 亿空单（价格从 64,200 推到 67,100），是空头回补 + 追多共振，量能 22% 高于 30 日均值，不算无量。但日线收口仍卡在 6.5 万，所以“非单边”定性不变。
二、非农前 4 小时「打勾清单」（收藏对照）
北京时间 8/6 20:30–8/7 20:30 之间，盯这 6 条：
• [ ] BTC 日线收稳 65,000 上方（当前第一道坎，没站稳就别谈反转）
• [ ] Coinbase 溢价保持正值（现 +0.015%，美机构是否在接盘的关键信号）
• [ ] 65,500 卖单墙是否被吃掉（破了才算真突破）
• [ ] 恐慌贪婪指数能否脱离 25–27 极端恐惧区（现仍 25–27，价格涨、人心没回）
• [ ] 非农读数：新增就业 + 失业率 + 时薪（核心，见下方三档）
• [ ] CME 加息概率变动（现 9 月加息 25bp 概率约 54–58%，数据后将重定价）
------
三、非农三档剧本（提前写好，免得盘中上头）
北京时间 8/7 20:30 公布，预期新增约 8.3–9 万、失业率 4.2→4.3%
• 🟢 鸽派惊喜（新增 < 7 万 + 失业率升）→ 概率约 30%
加息预期降温、美元美债收益率回落 → BTC 大概率放量冲 67,000–70,000，这是早帖“站稳 6.52 万走单边”的触发条件。
• 🟡 基准落地（新增 8–10 万、失业 4.3%）→ 概率约 45%
符合预期、无大波动 → BTC 继续 6.4–6.5 万磨”，等下一份 CPI，最磨人。
• 🔴 鹰派意外（新增 > 10 万 + 时薪 > 0.3%）→ 概率约 25%
强化 9 月加息 → 美元走强、风险资产承压 → BTC 回踩 63,800→62,100（50 日线）。
------
四、一个被忽视的暗线（评论区谈资）
• 巨鲸没在砸。8/3 那笔 16,400 BTC（10.4 亿）是冷钱包迁移，未进交易所，属机构换托管，偏多。
• 但币安鲸鱼流入比率飙到 0.52（4 月新高），交易所 5 日净存入 1.4 万 BTC，东方（币安/OKX）在送币、西方（Coinbase）在吸筹，东西方资金撕裂——这种撕裂往往先剧烈震荡、再选方向。
------
我现在的立场：非农前不赌方向，65,000 是分水岭——上方站稳看多、下方回 6.4 万就等数据。今晚 20:30 我发一条「非农落地 5 分钟验证帖」，直接对照上面三档剧本判胜负。
评论区押非农读数：
A. 新增 < 7 万（鸽，我冲）
B. 8–10 万（横，我不动）
C. > 10 万（鹰，我减）

⚠️ 免责声明：以上为 8/6 公开盘面/链上/ETF/宏观数据整理与个人结构观察，非投资建议；非农为高波动事件，杠杆易爆仓，请谨慎！#意大利大行减IBIT普通股94%, increased staked ETH
Breaking news: Italy's largest bank, Intesa Sanpaolo, released its Q2 13F filing last night, with some impressive moves—IBIT common shares were cut 93.7%, from 646,800 shares straight to 40,700 shares. The options side was even more aggressive, shrinking the corresponding call option shares from 2.5 million to 18,000 shares, a 99.3% cut, and simultaneously opened a new 500,000 put option.
On the other side, the staking Ethereum ETF (ETHB) increased from 116,200 shares to 349,600 shares, more than tripling. Bitwise's Solana staking ETF was basically cleared out, dropping from 2,817 shares to just 7 shares.
But that doesn't mean it stops watching Bitcoin. ARKB still holds 3.47 million shares, worth $67.6 million, making it its largest crypto ETF position. The XRP Trust hasn't moved, and it even opened a small position in the Morgan Stanley Bitcoin Trust. Rather than "fleeing Bitcoin," it's more like "reallocating"—reducing IBIT holdings while swapping for a cheaper Bitcoin exposure to keep it.
Several points are worth pondering.
First, staking returns are the core driver. Bitcoin ETFs can only profit from price fluctuations, while ETHB can profit from price increases while earning staking returns. In an environment where eurozone interest rates are falling and bank interest spreads are narrowing, this yield spread is indeed attractive.
Second, putting options do not mean you are short on Bitcoin. The 13F file does not disclose short exposure or the full option structure. A 500,000-share put option may be part of a collar strategy or part of a larger volatility trade. It cannot be simply understood as "short."
Third, the position at the end of June may have already changed. 13F can be submitted within up to 45 days after the quarter ends. At that time, Bitcoin hovered below $30,000 for a long time, and now it's over $60,000, so the position may have been adjusted long ago.
The greater significance of this is that traditional financial institutions are answering the question of "Bitcoin or Ethereum" with their actions. It's not a choice between the two, but a refined allocation among different products. When a bank managing trillions in assets starts calculating the balance between "holding coins for interest" and "pure price fluctuations," it shows that institutional-level crypto allocation is shifting from "whether to buy" to "how to buy more cost-effectively." $BTC $ETH 认识五年的顾问给他安排了一场完全虚假的融资
Dow Protocol 今天发了一份声明，把自己这段时间遇上的事摊开讲了一遍。他们说市面上传的那条 OKX Ventures 投资他们的消息，不属实。本周他们准备公布的投资方名单里，压根没有这家机构。
更离谱的在后面。按照团队自己的说法，这件事的起点是一个跟他们相识长达五年的财务顾问。五年，在这个行业里差不多够看完一整轮牛熊。这个人建了一个虚假的群聊，又安排人进来扮演 OKX Ventures 的团队成员。
接下来就是一整套流程。假的尽职调查一步一步走完，该问的问题问了，该给的资料也给了。伪造的投资协议签了字。然后以这笔投资的名义，向项目方收取财务顾问费。
你要是站在项目方的位置上把这个过程再走一遍，会发现每一环单独看都挺正常。介绍人是熟人，五年交情；群里坐着对方团队；尽调一板一眼；协议白纸黑字。这种局最狠的地方不是伪造得多逼真，而是它把你能用来验证的那几个锚点，一次性全换掉了。
这两年这类事其实不算少见。项目方最缺的是钱和背书，头部机构的名字既是钱也是背书，一旦挂上去，后面的估值、谈判、社区情绪全都跟着变。所以专门有人盯着这块做局，被冒充的对象往往就是那几家最有号召力的机构。
要说核验动作，其实一点都不复杂。机构对外的投资一般都有公开渠道，官网、官方账号、公开公告，随便一条都能对得上。真要谨慎点，通过对方公开的官方联系方式重新发起一次确认，成本也就几分钟。问题在于，当介绍人是认识五年的朋友时，你会觉得做这个动作像是在打人家的脸。
Dow Protocol 说他们已经保存了相关证据，也对涉事人员采取了行动。同时提醒其他项目方，哪怕相关人员是由长期合作伙伴介绍的，也应该通过官方渠道独立核验身份和投资信息。这句话看着像客套，其实是拿真金白银换来的。
我一直觉得这个行业里最难防的从来不是技术漏洞。代码可以审计，签名可以验证，多签可以加，硬件钱包可以换。但人情这一层没有审计工具。五年交情换来的信任，在流程上就是一个几乎不会被质疑的入口，谁都不好意思在那里踩一脚刹车。
所以我想问问你们，要是当时坐在那个群里的是你，会在哪一步开始觉得不对劲？还是说，压根就不会往那个方向想？#1/ Midweek Hyperliquid Report
2026-08-06
Hyperliquid's HIP-3 story has crossed from sideshow to main stage: the @tradexyz builder book turned over roughly $5.27Bn in the past 24h against about $3.14Bn across every native HL perp combined, so tokenised equities, memory-chips and commodities now trade more than crypto on the venue. $SNDK alone churned 432% of its $0.18Bn OI on the day, edging $ETH by volume, and the whole turnover leaderboard is @tradexyz names.
(i) Forced flow
(ii) Funding and the algo tape
(iii) HIP-3 builder markets#SandiskBeatAndBuyback #CircleArcLaunch #EarningsRealityCheck Stunned! Gold broke through its all-time high of $4,200 while BTC failed to keep up, marking a deep tear in the definition of "safe haven" by global capital.
Below is a quantitative analysis and outlook on the impact of this divergence:
1. Why hasn't BTC followed the rise? (Three core reasons)
1. A Complete Shift in Asset Attributes: From "Digital Gold" to "Technological Leverage"
In the 2026 market logic, BTC's correlation with core AI hardware such as Nasdaq-100 and $SNDK has risen to 0.85, while its correlation with gold has dropped to 0.12. When gold surges to $4,200 due to geopolitical risks or sovereign credit crises, the market is often accompanied by expectations of liquidity tightening. As a "high-beta risk asset," BTC is prioritized by institutions in this environment as an "ATM" to supplement margin rather than a safe haven.
2. The mismatch between central bank purchasing power and ETF momentum
The main force pushing gold above $4,200 is the global central banks' (especially "South" countries) demand for de-dollarized reserves, which is physical and exclusive. In contrast, BTC ETF inflows mainly rely on risk appetite in Silicon Valley and Wall Street. Today, large funds regrouped in tech stocks like $SNDK, tightening liquidity in the tech sector and dampening BTC's upward momentum.
3. Real interest rates and the suppression of "recession trading."
Gold trading near $4,200 is a scenario of a "deep recession" or "hyperinflation." If the market expects a recession, funds will flow into physical gold with no default risk; while BTC, as an ecosystem relying on network expansion and capital leverage, will be seen as an "overvalued experimental asset" under recession expectations, resulting in net capital outflows.
2. The direct impact of this divergence
1. The phased bankruptcy of the "digital gold" narrative
BTC will lose its sole right to be interpreted as "inflation hedge/hedge" in the short term. This will cause some long-term macro funds to shift their positions from $BTC back to physical gold or $PAXG (gold stablecoin), further suppressing BTC's price performance.
2. Internal crypto funds flowing into the RWA sector
Due to the strong gold trend, funds will look for on-chain gold alternatives. You will see the premium rates of gold-pegged tokens like $PAXG and $XAUT rise. At the same time, funds flow from pure air coins to RWA (Real-World Asset) protocols backed by physical assets.
3. Forcing BTC to find a new value anchor
Since it cannot follow gold, BTC will now more closely anchor AI computing power valuations. If $NVDA or $SNDK stabilize under buyback stimulus, BTC may rebound with tech stocks, forming a "tech premium" rather than a "safe-haven premium."
3. What should we do next?
*Key observation points:
*Gold: If gold holds above $4,200 and the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield declines, BTC remains unmoved, confirming that BTC has been removed from the safe-haven asset list.
*BTC: Watch turnover in the $58,500 - $62,000 range. If it falls below $58,000, it indicates a full shift of funds toward gold.
*Configuration Strategy:
*Bulls: Temporarily abandon the fantasy of "following gold to take off" and instead focus on the movement of $SNDK. Only when tech stock liquidity returns will BTC have a chance.
*Arbitrage: Paired trading to go long $PAXG (gold token) or short $BTC is an institutional-grade strategy with a very high win rate on August 6.
Conclusion: Gold's return to $4,200 is a defensive victory for the "Old World," while BTC's stagflation is an inevitable growing pain as a "New World tech infrastructure" during liquidity contraction periods. At this point, one should not blindly bottom-fish BTC but wait for signals from the US AI hardware sector to stop the decline.
#黄金重返4200美元, why hasn't BTC risen in line with the rise? #Circle财报后押注Arc, can USDC experience new growth?
Damn! Circle just delivered a terrible financial report, with a total mess, yet the market is like a mad dog, licking before biting.
Stop focusing on those so-called revenue and profits. Total revenue plus reserve income was only $701 million, up 7% year-over-year, not even reaching Wall Street's expected $717 million. Adjusted EBITDA was $143 million, up 8%.
Net profit was $48.21 million, compared to a loss of $480 million in the same period last year—this improvement is just half a step out of the pit. Adjusted EPS was $0.18, barely beating the expected $0.16. USDC's ending circulating supply was $73.3 billion, up 19% year-on-year, but shrank 4.8% quarter-on-quarter, with market share dropping to 27%.
The average circulating supply hit a new high of 76.5 billion, with a reserve return rate of 3.5%. On-chain trading volume reached 14.8 trillion, a year-on-year surge of 151%. The total market capitalization of stablecoins has surpassed 310 billion, but their growth rate has collectively stalled.
Interest income is still holding up profits, but the money rolling on-chain is shrinking. Revenue growth depends entirely on the interest rate environment to survive, but scale expansion? Nonsense. Circle Payments Network has an annualized transaction volume of 14.7 billion, up 76% quarter-on-quarter, with 175 institutions joining. Agent Stack has over 900 paid projects, with 99.3% of x402 proxy payments settled in USDC. These are just scraps.
What truly repriced Wall Street was Arc. On September 16, the public mainnet launched, with over 100 institutions and builders already slacking off on private mainnets. The founding validators list went straight to cheat at: BlackRock, DTCC, Galaxy, Global Payments, ICE, Mastercard, MoneyGram, SBI Group, Standard Chartered, Sumitomo Corporation, Visa.
BlackRock plans to put the BUIDL fund on Arc and use native USDC for subscription, redemption, and deployment. DTCC plans to tokenize custody assets on this chain in the second half of 2027. Other full-year revenue guidance will be raised directly from $150–$170 million to $310–$330 million, mainly relying on ARC token presale confirmation. The Federal Trust Bank license is also in hold, with dual licenses from OCC and New York State, giving it a stronger compliance shell.
When the earnings report came out, the stock price soared over 8% in pre-market trading, then immediately turned down nearly 3% at the open, with some even seeing a 10% sell-off. Morgan Stanley directly "reduced its holdings," targeting $38, citing USDC's shrinking price and pressure on trading revenue. TD Cowen "bought" the price, targeting $82. The division was so big it could twist people's minds into twisted twists.
A trader on X directly pointed out: Arc's mainnet on September 16 was much more impressive than it appeared. Circle already has 73.3 billion in circulation, 14.8 trillion in trading volume, a 151% year-on-year increase, and 701 million in revenue. Now, this distribution layer has become a dedicated financial infrastructure.
The validator list is the real signal—not just another L1 begging for attention on crypto Twitter, but a stablecoin issuer with real payment volume, institutional relationships, and regulatory positioning, setting the table for settlement, tokenized assets, FX, payments, and brokerage commerce. Most L1s issue tokens first and then seek demand; Arc has USDC demand before building a settlement layer around it.
Another voice is even harsher: 95% of Q2 revenue comes from USDC reserve interest. This is both a beauty and a trap. The old Circle model is super simple—more USDC equals more reserves equals more interest. Reserve yields fell 66 basis points year-on-year to 3.5%, and the ending circulating supply shrank from 7.7 billion to 7.33 billion, with an average volume hitting a record. The dependence is too obvious.
But the new Circle is pushing four pillars: Arc, payment networks, Agent Stack, and regulated infrastructure. The ARC token presale has already been credited, and other annual revenue guidance has doubled, with about 180 million from presales. The transformation isn't complete yet, the old business is still paying for it, but the direction is crystal clear—from making money from the easy to the entire financial network.
Some even criticized the market for being short-sighted: stop arguing about quarterly revenue, what really matters is where USDC is used. Trading volume, tokenized assets, AI payments, and regulated financial infrastructure are all compounding. Stablecoins are becoming the operating system of digital finance, not just the digital dollar.
The launch of Arc means Wall Street has officially set up a new table on the chain, with stablecoin settlement, tokenized assets, and institutional financial infrastructure all pushing forward. This is a long-term positive for the crypto industry, but don't expect it to immediately save SanDisk, a pure hardware narrative. The storage sector still operates on AI demand and supply shortages; Arc is changing the settlement layer, not the computing power layer. Don't mix short-term fundamentals with long-term narratives, or you'll lose so badly that no one sympathizes.
Short-term circulation decline is real, but the track Arc opens is several orders of magnitude above the retail market ceiling. Circle is betting not on quarterly circulation but on Wall Street's underlying clearing system.
USDC should transform from a retail exchange toy into the base currency for inter-institutional settlement and tokenized asset circulation. This is the true growth engine. Can it be realized? Look at three things: USDC's volume continues to rise, subscription revenue expands, and profit margins keep rising.
Only when these factors move up simultaneously can fundamentals truly turn around. Otherwise, it's just a bunch of beautiful PPTs and validator lists, ending up with the old routine of sustaining interest.🚨 EVERYONE IS CELEBRATING.
I'M WATCHING THE TRAP.
$SPCX just posted strong earnings.
Revenue: +92%
AI revenue: +247%
Double beat.
The stock exploded.
Exactly the reaction I expected.
But almost nobody is asking the only question that matters:
Why did it move so violently?
Here's the answer.
Right now, only ~5% of SpaceX shares are actually tradable.
The other 95% are locked.
That's why every wave of buying sends the price flying.
And that's also why this rally could be far more fragile than people think.
On August 6, everything changes.
Around 900 million shares become eligible for trading.
For comparison:
The current tradable float is only ~638 million shares.
Now add another piece of the puzzle.
34% of the float is sold short.
That's a huge reason this rally accelerated.
Shorts were fighting for a tiny supply of shares.
But once the unlock arrives...
That supply shortage starts disappearing.
Shorts suddenly have far more liquidity.
The dynamic that fueled this squeeze changes overnight.
Most people are chasing the earnings headline.
I'm watching what happens after the headlines fade.
That's usually where the real opportunity begins.
