$ICX ICX cold coins suddenly surged🔥 The old coin, silent for more than half a year, unexpectedly triggered a wave of market activity, catching many off guard. This is not a random pump; the chain shutdown + token migration countdown for SODAX is catalyzing the market. The old ICON mainnet will shut down by the end of the year, and ICX can be swapped 1:1 for the new token SODA. The two-way exchange window will close by the end of September. Some holders are choosing to lock their tokens for migration, passively tightening the circulating supply. Coupled with concentrated funds on local Korean exchanges and the old project's community betting on a revival, buying pressure suddenly surged. After breaking through key resistance, stop-loss orders were triggered, and short-term speculative funds followed in, pushing the 24-hour gain to over forty percent.When TrendForce marked the NAND contract price increase for Q3 as "a month-on-month rise of 10% to 15%, with a significant slowdown in growth," my red pen paused on the overall chart. This wording is not the joy brought by price hikes, but the warning whistle of a high-rise building reaching its design limit in a wind tunnel test—yesterday SanDisk was still sinking in a -1.6% mortar, today it used a strong 11.9% bullish candlestick to pull the tower crane back up. Every visible building in the digital world stands on a prefabricated base plate poured from storage chips. NAND contract prices are like the building materials price list the project manager checks daily. Now the price list is nailed at the historical highest elevation line; the old buildings in consumer terminals are fully occupied, even adding one more hard drive touches the load red line; the only units that can still add layers are the urban renewal units composed of AI inference data centers—they are the new load-bearing frameworks replacing every brick wall in the old districts. From a structural mechanics perspective, the slowdown in price growth is not a crack in the load-bearing wall but more like the concrete specimen entering the yield plateau. The design strength has reached C60; pushing every additional megapascal means battling the aggregate gradation and cement hydration heat to the end. Ultimately, the consumer side has lost elasticity, and new demand hangs alone on the giant truss of AI inference. Whether the truss is stable is not judged by today's price list numbers but by whether the long-term load can complete the entire force transmission path. But just as I was checking the load, a spotlight from excavators suddenly lit up on the site plan. SanDisk and Kioxia jointly unveiled a $31 billion investment blueprint, signed in Japan, with the new wafer fab expected to produce output no earlier than fiscal 2029; the Bank of Korea used the same method to estimate that Samsung and SK Hynix will add 600,000 wafers per month by 2028. At the design institute review meeting, this is called a rigid supply-demand balance check—the filled area of the supply curve closes the network earlier than the demand curve, and experienced project managers always look up to check the tower crane’s swing radius a few more times. All these curves ultimately reflect on the same equity asset facade named XMSTR. But professional habit reminds me not to just stare at the glass curtain wall’s reflection. That asset is essentially a storage complex still pouring its basement; the core tube hasn’t reached zero elevation, yet the market’s pricing software has already installed the curtain wall frame for the 2029 data center. SanDisk’s 11.9% bullish candlestick today is just a concrete pump truck on the site’s perimeter flooring the accelerator, spraying slurry onto the scaffolding, still two transfer floors short of topping out the main structure. For those who review drawings year-round, the most critical moment is whether the pile end bearing layer has been drilled to the true elevation. And that geotechnical report is still stuck in the lab. The bullish candlestick can cover the floating soil at the edge of the foundation pit but cannot cover the fishy smell inside the drill core—when the supply side’s tower crane count is scheduled through 2029, the demand side can’t even produce a complete static load test report. The drill rig has already started smoking. #sandiskup12%nandslowsWill the weekend digest the big short market caused by the strong non-farm payrolls? Has Bitcoin dropped to the bottom at 79,000? The 162,000 new non-farm jobs are three times the expectation, with immediate reactions: 1. The probability of a rate hike next week rose from 52.4% to 60.2%, effectively pushing for a rate hike. 2. Rate hikes strengthen the dollar, causing gold to drop directly by 2%. 3. Bitcoin plunged sharply from 81,200 to 78,700. 4. All long positions in gold and Bitcoin were liquidated. There is a transmission relationship here: Increased rate hike expectations → Stronger dollar leads to money stored in banks → Pressure on Bitcoin and gold → Reduced liquidity expectations → Lower prices for all money-dependent investments like US stocks and Bitcoin. The BTC market slowly moved over the weekend, basically locking in no big fluctuations. This is not a bottoming out; it’s a strong non-farm drop followed by a shakeout absorbing long positions. The market’s bulls and bears balanced again, so the coin price temporarily stabilized and oscillated. Next week there is CPI data, which tells us inflation is still strong and needs to be addressed. Therefore, although Bitcoin may rebound, it won’t rise too high and should continue oscillating between 79,100 and 80,000. On Friday, we will wait for CPI to judge whether the Fed’s rate hike probability for the following week will increase or decrease, affecting price movements. I will try some ultra-short-term trades over the weekend. BTC controlled between 79,800 and 79,100, ETH between 2,440 and 2,460. Short above and long below, a rare good opportunity. Large funds and institutions are watching and waiting to act after CPI.September 5 News Macro 1.

RH chain revenue surpasses Hyperliquid, $ZEC new high — on-chain profit effect still self-reinforcing Conclusion: Nonfarm surge shifts September main theme from "rate cut trade" to "data tug-of-war," BTC short-term below 76K needs CPI to beat expectations. $BTC #美联储官员称应加息，9月概率升至58.6% This market, in the end, is ruled by data. The optimism built on a pile of good news crumbles in the face of non-farm payrolls. Last night, I was watching BTC hovering around $82,100, pondering whether BlackRock's continuous buying and over $800 million net inflow into ETFs could push the market further. However, once the August new jobs data of 162,000 (expected only 55,000) came out, the market logic instantly restructured—rate hike expectations heated up, and risk assets took the hardest hit. BTC immediately fell below $80,000, dipping as low as around $79,000. In the short term, this will be a critical battleground between bulls and bears: if it holds, a rebound to the $80,000–$81,000 range is still possible; if it breaks, it may test stronger support at $77,500. ETH also retreated to $2,500, with the $2,450 level not to be lost. However, divergence still exists. SanDisk (SNDK) strengthened against the negative trend; the market is trading not on rate cut expectations but on the storage supply-demand logic driven by AI data centers, showing its independent movement. As for ZEC, which I have been following long-term, the performance is even more impressive. The privacy narrative combined with ETF expectations, along with short squeeze after breaking the $1,000 mark, has driven its price sharply upward. If $1,000 can hold, the $1,050–$1,100 area is worth watching; but short-term overbought conditions are severe, so a pullback to $930–$950 for consolidation is also normal. Non-farm payrolls are just the prelude; the real test lies ahead with the CPI data on September 11.Anonymous privacy coin $ZEC after its rally, the funds will most likely rotate to $ZEN. Historically, ZEC peaks first, then $DASH and ZEN follow, with the one having the lower valuation ultimately benefiting from the main rise. ZEN is not a post-attached mixing plugin. It inherits zk-SNARKs from the same source as Zcash, later proactively shutting down the main chain shield pool and migrating to Base to become L3, turning privacy into an application-layer capability: private swaps, cross-chain #There is also this conference from September 8-10 worth watching; the industry's stance during this period could become a catalyst for a new round of global tech stock rallies. But the more good news there is, the more it is likely to be overdrawn by the time of the announcement. The value of the TMT conference preview lies in "the agenda as a map" — global tech capital continues to be revised upward (3.8 trillion USD by 2030), backlog orders at 1.7 trillion, and the power bottleneck of data centers. These topics point to the same conclusion: the AI infrastructure boom cycle is still in the first half. But this year's new changes are also worth noting: the narrative focus of AI is shifting from "selling shovels" (chips) to "the shovel users" (enterprise software, data layers, Agentic commerce). The number of software stocks in Citi's Top Ideas has clearly increased. For A-share investors, this report has two points of reference: first, it confirms that global demand for the AI hardware chain (semiconductor equipment, optical modules, data centers) is still accelerating; second, it indicates that the commercialization of AI application layers (data, software, advertising) is becoming the focus of the next round of market pricing. The $DASH privacy sector has recently experienced a lively rotation rally. Many people, seeing the leader ZEC launch a super trend, noticed that DASH within the sector has recently gained nearly 40% in a single phase, finally gaining recognition. Many friends directly assume this is the standard script of the first leader's surge followed by the second leader's catch-up rally. But I have a different view here: the recent strength of DASH cannot be simply categorized as a follow-up rally driven by sector rotation. It has its own exclusive positive catalysts as the ignition point, and the underlying logic of this rally is different from ordinary latecomer catch-up coins. The first wave of rally catalysts came from the recently concluded Amsterdam offline developer conference. The project team released two major updates at this meeting: first, attempting to embed AI inference functions into the existing payment system, opening a brand-new narrative direction for the veteran payment public chain; second, successfully completing the real-world test of the mobile privacy payment solution, further optimizing the convenience for ordinary users in daily use. These two pieces of news provided ample material for market speculation. Furthermore, the DASH mainnet version has undergone a major iterative upgrade, adding two new modules: decentralized storage and on-chain domain names. Before this, DASH was basically tagged by the market only as privacy payment, with relatively single application scenarios; after this upgrade, the project boundaries have been broadened, the sector story has become richer, and it also provides new reasons for long-term capital to enter and layout. Of course, we cannot deny the boosting effect of the broader environment. The fuse was the official launch of the Zcash trust product by Grayscale on the 25th, bringing institutional entry.Last night’s nonfarm payrolls were a big negative surprise, but $ZEC actually hit a new high. The US added 162,000 nonfarm jobs in August, far exceeding expectations. The rate hike/tightening expectations were repriced, US Treasury yields surged, and BTC and ETH fell accordingly. Normally, risk appetite cools down, and high-volatility altcoins should come under pressure, but ZEC not only didn’t break down, it held above 1000, indicating independent capital is supporting it. There may be several reasons behind this: privacy narrative + warming compliance discussions, ETF/institutional allocation speculation creating imagination space, plus previously low circulation and high control structure, making it easy to decouple from the broader market pulse. But beware of a “strong illusion” — if volume starts to decline, funding rates overheat, and BTC continues to dip, ZEC’s catch-up drop could come quickly. The question now isn’t how strong it is, but whether the strength can continue to be validated after the negative news. In the short term, watch the 1000 round number and previous highs for support; if it breaks down with volume, don’t force an explanation; if it breaks through, watch for capital continuation, but avoid 50x leverage like that — the cost of a reverse spike is too high. Personally, I prefer to wait for a pullback confirmation and not chase highs. If you’ve already opened a short, strictly set stop losses and don’t let judgment turn into obsession. #美联储官员称应加息，9月概率升至58.6% #BTC兑黄金比率升至1月以来高位，强势能否延续？ #Federal Reserve officials say rate hikes are necessary, with a 58.6% probability in September The U.S. added 162,000 nonfarm jobs in August, significantly exceeding market expectations, with the unemployment rate holding steady at 4.1%. The resilience of the job market has led the market to raise expectations for a Fed rate hike in September. This is also why Jeff Rosenberg from BlackRock has refocused attention on the CPI release on September 11. For the crypto community, the logic is simple: If the CPI continues to cool → the Fed is more likely to hold steady in September → pressure on the dollar and U.S. Treasury yields eases → market liquidity expectations improve → BTC, ETH, and highly volatile altcoins are expected to rebound. But if the CPI heats up again or the decline is not fast enough → rate hike expectations intensify → the dollar strengthens, yields rise → risk assets come under pressure, and BTC may continue to fluctuate or even seek support downward. Notably, after the nonfarm data was released, Bitcoin briefly fell below $80,000, indicating the market is already pricing in expectations of a "more hawkish Fed." So now, don’t just focus on $BTC’s price movements. What really needs attention is whether the September 11 CPI will give the Fed a reason to "cut rates or hold off on hikes." A cooler CPI could bring a wave of liquidity recovery to the crypto space; a hotter CPI means the September market should be approached with more caution. Personally, I lean toward the view that before the CPI release, market volatility will significantly increase, making chasing gains or cutting losses risky and prone to being trapped. $BTC briefly moved above $82K after Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller indicated he could support keeping rates unchanged if inflation continues improving. That helped push Bitcoin back above $80K and revived the macro-sensitive side of the crypto narrative. But the rally now has another test. The U.S. jobs report showed 162,000 payroll gains, stronger than expectations, while upcoming inflation data could heavily influence the Fed's next decision. That creates a conflicting setup. DovLast night, the non-farm payroll data exploded, causing BTC to crash down from its highs, while storage stocks like SNDK took off on the spot. Next, macro data will take the wheel. August non-farm payrolls were clearly stronger than expected, pushing the market to price in a longer period of higher interest rates/hikes again. Short-term US Treasuries and the dollar together pressured risk assets, and BTC naturally digested the overbought condition at the high level. This is not really surprising; the daily RSI and positioning were tight beforehand, so the data shakeout actually released some risk. The real tone will depend on next week's CPI/PPI; if inflation remains sticky, September might not work out and the tightening could drag into October/November. Don't mistake a single pullback for the end of the trend. Sector-wise, it's a differentiated market: storage/AI chains have fundamental and capital narratives supporting them, so they don't move in sync with the crypto market; ZEC and similar assets follow risk appetite—if BTC can't hold steady, they struggle to be independently strong. Institutional flows show both inflows and outflows, indicating no one-sided consensus, just changing allocation rhythms. In terms of trading, BTC's short-term support is around 78,000; if macro data continues to be hot and that support breaks, look for support near 75,000. Avoid chasing rebounds that don't break previous highs with volume. Keep some position flexibility and wait for data to settle before adjusting. In June, the Orchard vulnerability was exposed, causing ZEC to plummet from over 600 to just over 200 dollars. After the fix, it strongly rebounded, breaking through 1000 dollars in early September and reaching a recent high of about 1050. The latest August non-farm payrolls greatly exceeded expectations (+162,000, expected about 53,000), with the unemployment rate steady at 4.1%. Strong employment reduces expectations for a Fed rate cut and even pushes hawkish pricing, suppressing risk assets like crypto. ZEC's short-term gains have been large, combined with a macro shift to hawkishness, increasing the risk of a pullback. Caution is advised when chasing highs. Bitcoin Broke $82K. Now the Market Faces Its Real Test. $BTC pushed above $82K, but the breakout has already faced resistance near $80K. That reaction matters. The latest U.S. jobs report showed 162,000 payroll gains in August versus expectations around 65,000. Treasury yields moved higher and markets increased the probability of a September Fed hike. So Bitcoin is now caught between two opposing forces. On one side, institutional demand is returning. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded about $731M of net inflows on September 3, while Ethereum ETFs also posted roughly $141M in inflows. On the other side, tighter monetary expectations are creating a ceiling for risk assets. This is why I am not treating the $82K move as a confirmed trend continuation yet. My radar is watching the $80K area. If $BTC can reclaim and hold it after the jobs-driven volatility, the failed breakout narrative weakens considerably. $ETH is already showing relative strength, while $BNB and $SOL are important large-cap confirmations. $XRP is also worth watching because broad participation needs more than Bitcoin alone. The next layer is where things become interesting. $SUI, $APT, $AVAX, $NEAR and $SEI need to demonstrate that capital is willing to move deeper into Layer 1s. In DeFi, $AAVE, $UNI, $CRV and $PENDLE can reveal whether traders are moving toward productive on-chain liquidity rather than simply chasing momentum. For infrastructure, $LINK and $ONDO remain key RWA and tokenization names, while $ARB and $OP can help gauge whether Layer 2 activity is recovering. AI infrastructure through $TAO, $RENDER and $FET remains another sector to monitor if risk appetite expands. The bigger market thesis is simple: Bitcoin has proven buyers exist. Now it needs to prove buyers can absorb macro pressure. The next major catalyst is U.S. CPI on September 11, followed by the Fed decision on September 16. If BTC holds the breakout zone despite higher yields, that would be a stronger bullish signal than the initial move above $82K. #HammackBacksHike #BTCGoldRatioHigh ZEC at 1010 USD, did you chase it? First, look at the surface: after ten years, it returns to the thousand-dollar level, and retail investors are chasing it like crazy. On August 25, Grayscale's spot ETF (ZCSH) was listed on NYSE Arca, and ZEC surged directly from 800 to above 1000, reaching a high of 1046, with 24-hour trading volume breaking 1 billion, and short positions liquidated for 34 million. The daily RSI has already hit 78-80, and the weekly RSI surged to over 73, extremely overbought. First thing: The ETF has really landed, but the price has already run ahead. Grayscale spot ETF (ZCSH) was listed on August 25, with an initial net inflow of 34 million and holdings exceeding 400,000 ZEC. The institutional channel is open, which is the strongest catalyst for ZEC. But this surge from 800 to 1000 has already priced in the ETF expectations. Second thing: The fundamentals of ZEC have indeed changed, but 1000 USD has already overextended a lot. Total supply is 21 million, with shielded pool accounting for 30% (about 4.8 million), making the circulating supply even tighter. SEC investigation concluded (no enforcement action), compliance channel opened. Cypherpunk Technologies continues to accumulate coins, targeting 5% of circulating supply. Shielded transactions continue to increase, real demand is growing. From 40 USD to 1000 USD, a 25x increase. Fundamentals support this rise, but the price has run much faster than the fundamentals. Good asset + good price = good investment. Good asset + bad price = bad investment. Now ZEC is a good asset, but is the price a good price? Third thing: In the next two weeks, macro is the biggest risk. CPI comes out on September 11, FOMC on September 15-16. If CPI is high, rate hike expectations heat up, high-level altcoins will fall first. If FOMC is hawkish, liquidity tightens, a 20-30% pullback for high-beta assets like ZEC is normal. The market is now tightly linked to the Fed, BTC is fluctuating around 80,000, can ZEC's independent narrative withstand macro headwinds? Resistance above: 1046-1050 → 1100 → 1200 Support below: 1000 (psychological and breakout level) → 890-920 → 775-800 Trading strategy If you are currently out of position: Wait for a pullback to 1000-980 with reduced volume to stabilize, then try a light long position. Set stop loss below 960. Target 1045-1100, reduce position when reached. If you have unrealized profits: Reduce 1/3 to half to lower your cost. Set stop loss at 920-950 for the remainder. Don't expect a direct rise to 1500, protect your profits first. If you just chased high and are stuck: Don't panic, but don't hold stubbornly either. If volume breaks below 1000, exit first, then re-enter at 890-920. Reduce positions three days before CPI and FOMC. Funding rates turning positive + high positions, once weakening, leads to long liquidation. ZEC's rise from 40 to 1000 is the explosion of the "compliant privacy" narrative from zero to one— But think about it: BTC rose from 10,000 to 60,000 in 2020, how many chased at the peak? 1000 is a realization zone, not an accumulation zone. Those who know how to buy are apprentices, those who know how to sell are masters, those who know how to stay out are grandmasters. What is your ZEC cost? Did you chase at 1010, or did you already position at 800? $BTC $ETH $ZEC $SNDK Non-farm payrolls scared away a lot of funds Last night, the three major US stock indexes all fell, but the funds did not completely flee; they just changed direction. The non-farm payroll data hit 162,000, far exceeding expectations, and the probability of a rate hike in September rose from 49% back to 58%. US Treasury yields also surged to a one-year high. Normally, the stock market should have taken a hit as well. However, the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index rose 0.37%, with all sectors in the green, not a single one down. Simply put, funds shifted direction and all fled to the semiconductor sector to hold on. SanDisk surged 12%, Micron rose 6%. The rise in the storage sector is very solid; AI storage demand is real and not related to any brand consumption. Overall, the hard demand for AI caused funds to abandon consumer goods and focus on the semiconductor and storage sectors $CL $KORU #美联储官员称应加息，9月概率升至58.6% Strong Nonfarm Payrolls: Funds Haven't Left the Market, They're Just Becoming More Selective with Assets! $BTC Nonfarm Payrolls have raised the September rate hike expectations again, yet Bitcoin can still fluctuate around 81,000. Behind this is still ETF buying support. Previously, there was a single-day net inflow of about $731 million, indicating that macro factors are suppressing risk appetite, but institutional allocation demand hasn't disappeared. $ETH once again rose above $2,500, showing much greater elasticity than BTC, but it also depends more on liquidity. The issue now isn't a lack of narrative, but that the high interest rate environment is suppressing valuations; as long as ETFs, staking, and corporate holdings continue to absorb supply, ETH can still easily act as an amplifier when macro conditions ease. $BICO is currently around $0.021, down about 14% over the past 7 days, and the liquidity dividend brought by the exchange has clearly waned. For it to strengthen again, it must rely on account abstraction and infrastructure genuinely bringing users back, rather than waiting for another exchange-driven stimulus. $OKB continues to watch if X Layer can turn applications into trading volume; $QQQ is suppressed by strong Nonfarm Payrolls, but chip stocks are clearly resilient; $SNDK rose about 12% against the trend, as AI storage demand is outweighing the negative impact of interest rates; $SKHYNIX's HBM demand is also strong, but Samsung's Q2 market share has already risen to 33%, and the future battle is over who will capture more AI memory profits. #美联储官员称应加息，9月概率升至58.6% #BTC兑黄金比率升至1月以来高位，强势能否延续？ #黄金ETF增持近10吨，期权波动受关注 $SNDK 昨晚特朗普讲话落地之后，整个市场情绪快速回暖，风险偏好全面回升，AI存储赛道迎来一轮集体资金拉动，闪迪顺势走出一波上攻行情。 我在1688的价位进场布局$SNDK空单，目前盘面价格徘徊于1730一带，头寸已经处在浮亏状态，短期持仓体验谈不上轻松。 不过眼下我并不急于选择止损离场。 有一个道理最近慢慢想通：标的短期走出强势行情，并不代表多头行情已经宣告终结，同样也无法直接判定我的做空思路从根源上就是错误的。 观察这一段K线走势，闪迪本轮行情最关键的信号，并不在于阶段性涨幅有多夸张，而是放量拉升之后，价格并没有快速冲高回落，反而稳稳维持在高位区间震荡盘整，释放出主力资金暂时没有大规模出逃的信号。 因此现阶段的核心课题，并不是纠结闪迪明天会不会迎来回调，而是要去分辨当前的高位横盘，究竟是新一轮上攻之前的蓄力阶段，还是主力借着高位震荡，慢慢派发前期的获利筹码。 我给自己定下两套后续应对方案：倘若后续盘面放量向上，成功站稳1745一线，那就说明这波多头的强度已经超出我的预判，原先的做空逻辑不再成立，我会重新评估这笔头寸，及时调整思路。 反过来，如果价格多次Watching the market at 3 a.m., I suddenly felt the market is even harder to predict than love — just yesterday everything was peaceful and prosperous. Have you noticed that every time you think the situation is clear, that's precisely the most dangerous moment? Tonight, the crypto market has entered risk-off mode early, BTC fell below the 80,000 mark, and ETH weakened in sync. Wall Street hasn't opened yet, but the Asian session has already voted with its feet. I stared at the screen thinking, this isn't panic; it's clearly someone rushing to get ahead. The key signals are hidden in the details: the probability of a rate hike forecast jumped silently from 46 to 52, a change more honest than any big bearish candle. Capital never does charity; it only flows toward maximizing profit. I sensed a Trump-style maneuver. Two days ago, loudly calling trades, quietly placing many orders; yesterday, as soon as the data was released, flipping to short positions. This overnight flip is a familiar play for veteran investors. Yesterday, tech stocks surged across the board; looking back now, it seems more like a carefully designed distribution party rather than a trend reversal. SNDK had limited gains last night and will likely see a catch-down tonight. The market is repricing September's rate hike expectations, and all assets must follow the new script. The bullish logic is also traceable: - If August inflation data is lower than expected, rate hike expectations will cool quickly, forcing shorts to cover - Bitcoin dropping below 80,000 will be seen by some long-term funds as a range for phased accumulation - If the U.S. stock market shows resilience after opening, the crypto market may follow to recover some losses But the risks are equally glaring: - September's rate hike is... The ETF Bid Is Back. But Bitcoin Still Has Something to Prove. The most important signal in crypto right now may not be the Bitcoin chart. It is where the money is coming from. $BTC pushed above $82K this week before cooling back toward $80K. At the same time, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a strong $731M net inflow, while Ethereum ETFs have also returned to positive flows. That matters because this is different from a rally driven purely by leverage. Institutional demand is providing a real bid underneath the market. But the August U.S. jobs report added another complication: stronger employment data could keep the Fed cautious on rate cuts, limiting how quickly liquidity can expand. My radar is watching one thing now: Can $BTC hold above $80K while capital continues moving beyond Bitcoin? $ETH is already showing relative strength, while $SOL, $XRP and $BNB remain important indicators of whether institutional interest is spreading into large-cap altcoins. Below that, I am watching $SUI, $APT, $AVAX, $NEAR and $SEI for confirmation that traders are willing to take more risk. DeFi is another confirmation layer. If liquidity starts reaching $AAVE, $UNI, $CRV and $PENDLE, that would suggest the market is moving from simple asset accumulation toward broader on-chain risk appetite. The same applies to infrastructure. $LINK and $ONDO represent the RWA/tokenization narrative, while $ARB and $OP can tell us whether Layer 2 liquidity is recovering. AI infrastructure through $TAO, $RENDER and $FET is another sector worth tracking if risk appetite continues expanding. The bigger thesis is simple: ETF demand can restart the Bitcoin trend, but altcoin breadth will determine whether this becomes a broader market expansion. Bitcoin has already shown buyers are willing to defend the higher range. Now the market needs to prove that liquidity can spread. The next major macro checkpoint is U.S. CPI on September 11, followed by the Fed decision on September 16. #HammackBacksHike #BTCGoldRatioHigh #OKXOutcomeLeagueFOMC ZEC really caught the shorts off guard this time. It surged nearly 20% in one day, breaking through $1000 directly, reaching a high of $1023, with a market cap close to $1.7 billion. Even more intense, about $34.5 million worth of ZEC shorts were liquidated in the past 24 hours. But don’t rush to interpret this as a "full revival of privacy coins." There are actually two engines behind this. The first is the ETF. Grayscale's ZCSH debuted on NYSE Arca at the end of August, giving ZEC its first more convenient entry point for traditional financial capital. The second is short squeeze. As the price rises, shorts are forced to buy back. The more they buy, the higher it goes. The faster it rises, the more shorts get liquidated. This is why small-cap assets show especially exaggerated elasticity when ETF expectations arise. But this also brings a problem. Now the privacy narrative, the ETF story, and the short squeeze rally for ZEC are all out in the open. How many people will still be willing to buy with real money going forward? The most valuable moment of a story is often not when no one knows about it. But when everyone knows, and yet some are still willing to pay a higher price. $ZEC How Dogecoin (DOGE) Rose DOGE was born in 2013 as an internet joke, without grand technical ambitions, and eventually grew into a Meme leader with a market cap in the billions. Its rise was driven by meme culture, community, celebrity influence, and cyclical resonance. It is classified as a speculative asset and not used as a core holding. 1. Origin: A Prank In 2013, Bitcoin was booming, and the market was flooded with various altcoins. Programmer Billy Markus created Dogecoin to satirize the rampant coin issuance and speculation at the time, using the popular Shiba Inu meme from the internet. The code was largely copied from Litecoin, with no innovative technology, no whitepaper, no funding, and no grand team plans; it was meant purely as a humorous meme. 2. True Ascendancy: Elon Musk's Continuous Boost (2020-2021) This was the most critical factor in Dogecoin reaching its peak. Elon Musk frequently tweeted memes about DOGE, occasionally posting Shiba Inu emojis, publicly expressing optimism about Dogecoin, and even saying he wanted to take Dogecoin to the moon. The massive influence of this billionaire internet celebrity propelled a niche meme into global mainstream attention. Many retail investors with no blockchain knowledge rushed in, buying DOGE as a symbol of internet culture. During the 2021 bull market peak, DOGE surged dozens of times in a short period, pushing its market cap to the top ranks. Tesla's acceptance of DOGE for merchandise purchases further amplified the hype. Polymarket is also jumping into the contract game. In the past two days, they launched Perps, already featuring 67 markets covering crypto, US stocks, gold, and other assets, with some products supporting up to 20x leverage. This is a standalone perpetual contract business, not just leverage added to the original Yes/No markets. Source of information I find this move quite interesting: previously, if you wanted to bet on whether the Fed would cut rates on Polymarket and also wanted to go long on BTC, you had to switch to another platform. Now they want to keep both trades in one place. For contract platforms, this kind of user is worth paying attention to. Users are already here checking news and placing bets; adding a long/short button nearby brings them one step closer to placing orders. But attracting users and retaining them are two different things. When it comes to real money trading, it ultimately depends on liquidity, slippage, and fees.$DOGE : Dogecoin's merged mining with Litecoin is its quiet advantage. It borrows hash power without extra cost, sharing security. Most meme coins have none of this. Add one-minute blocks and low fees, and you get a network that's surprisingly practical for small payments.#HammackBacksHike #BTCGoldRatioHigh $BTC Recently, the entire network has been hyping up interest rate hike panic. As soon as officials made a few hawkish remarks, the CME rate tool's probability of a September rate hike surged directly to 58.6%, causing the market to plunge in response. Bitcoin quickly fell back from the 80,000 mark, and market panic instantly peaked. But let me be straightforward: this wave of rate hike expectations is purely media hype; there will definitely be no rate hike in September! I'm not blindly bullish; I'm breaking down the truth for everyone based on three solid logics: market probability, employment logic, and inflation trends 👇 First, the 58.6% rate hike probability itself is the biggest signal of no rate hike. If a rate hike were truly going to happen, market funds wouldn't be ambiguous; the probability would be pushed up to 70% or 80%+, with unanimous bets on tightening. Right now, it's just a bit over 50%, neither here nor there, indicating that top-tier big money doesn't actually believe in this rate hike expectation. It's just a temporary lift driven by officials' verbal hawkishness. Institutions clearly understand: verbal hawkishness is expectation management; when it comes to the actual vote, no one dares to easily approve a rate hike. Second, a single month's nonfarm payroll exceeding expectations cannot change the big trend of cooling employment. August's nonfarm data looks impressive and gives the market a hawkish excuse in the short term. But those who understand macroeconomics know: a single month's data is just noise; continuous trends are the basis for Federal Reserve decisions. The overall employment market is continuously weakening and gradually cooling down, just at a slower pace. The Fed's decision-making style is extremely conservative; when data is mixed and trends unclear, it always prefers to wait and see, never aggressively hiking rates based on one better-than-expected data point. Currently, it is completely unsatisfied with sustained strength and needs to suppressNext week's CPI will decide life or death: Bitcoin's 80,000 level awaits a direction BTC is currently around 79,500, down about 3.4% from the post-nonfarm high of 82,279. After the nonfarm payrolls crushed expectations at 162,000, the probability of a rate hike in September has risen from 50% to 62%. But the rate hike is not yet set in stone—the real decision will be made by next Friday's CPI. The market expects August's overall CPI year-over-year to be 3.4%, with core CPI at 2.5%. BlackRock's Rosenberg said: if CPI continues to show inflation improving, "I think they will hold steady." But if the data is hotter, Waller himself said—"I would consider a rate hike." Three scenario simulations: Inflation cools down (CPI below 3.4%): rate hike probability falls, BTC has a chance to reclaim 80,000 and even test the previous high resistance zone of 82,000-82,200. Bulls are already shouting that holding above 80,000 aims for 100,000. Meets expectations (around 3.4%): market pricing changes little, BTC continues to oscillate between 78,000-81,000. The pressure from the 4-hour MACD high-level death cross remains, but the support at 76,200-76,600 is not easy to break. Inflation exceeds expectations (above 3.4%): rate hike probability continues to soar, BTC may retest the 76,000-77,000 range. The Fed meets on September 15-16, and CPI is the last key data before the meeting. Move less and watch more before the data comes out. $BTC 券商+公链”的价值！ Robinhood股价周四上涨约16%，一度触及 $124.72，公司市值也逼近 $1120亿美元。与此同时，华尔街机构接连上调评级，Morgan Stanley更是将目标价从 $124提高至$150。 真正值得关注的，可能并不只是HOOD的传统券商业绩，而是它正在推进的 Robinhood Chain。 数据显示，Robinhood Chain近期链上收入快速增长：9月初单日收入突破 380万美元，9月3日更达到约 401万美元。如果这一趋势能够持续，其链上手续费和金融活动带来的商业价值，将成为市场重新评估Robinhood的重要变量。 这背后的逻辑正在发生变化： 过去，Robinhood更像一家互联网券商； 现在，市场开始思考——如果一家拥有庞大用户基础的金融平台，同时能够通过区块链基础设施持续产生链上收入，它的估值是否应该获得类似公链的溢价？ 这也是近期HOOD上涨背后最值得观察的故事之一。 当然，链上收入排名、手续费增长和用户活跃度都可能快速变化，短期行情也存在较大波动，不能简单把公链估值逻辑直接套用到券商股票上。 但如果Robinhood Chain继续Wall Street's calculations are sharp, yet still two years away. It is rumored that more than twenty traditional financial giants, including Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, and Citibank, plan to jointly issue a US dollar stablecoin in the first half of 2027. Once the news broke, private messages exploded, but this feels more like a grand declaration than a concrete blueprint. The alliance has not disclosed any details—no specific company list, no confirmed CEOs, and even the underlying blockchain and reserve custody methods remain blank. This recalls the precedent of Société Générale: a grand entrance, but nearly a year later, circulation is only $12.6 million. In contrast, USDT has reached $183.3 billion, and USDC has a scale of $73.8 billion. Wall Street's compliance licenses may not easily break through the liquidity moat of crypto-native players. In the short term, this news has no direct impact on $BTC $ETH; in the long term, more compliant US dollars on-chain will add bricks and tiles to the entire ecosystem's on-chain liquidity. But there is plenty of time until 2027, allowing existing stablecoin giants to keep running. The regular army of traditional finance has finally entered the field, but it is still far from truly "taking over." Opportunities come with time; there is no need to rush. Risk warning: Market rumors remain to be verified, and the competitive landscape of the stablecoin sector is uncertain. Please view rationally and make independent decisions.Yesterday’s NFP triggered a sharp selloff across crypto and gold as strong employment raised fears of hotter inflation and tighter Fed policy. But the unusually large beat also sparked doubts about the data, helping $BTC, $ETH and gold recover quickly. If markets continue questioning the report, crypto could rebound sharply. Macro expectations remain the key driver. $BTC $ETH $ZEC #HammackBacksHike #BTCGoldRatioHigh #OKXOutcomeLeagueFOMC After the non-farm payrolls landed over the weekend, I actually wanted to review SanDisk. On Friday in the US stock market, SanDisk rose nearly 12% in a single day, while on the same day, US August non-farm payrolls increased by 162,000, stronger than expected, and the market's bet on a September rate hike actually intensified. Even more interestingly, the Middle East situation is still pushing oil prices up, with WTI rising nearly 10% this week. Logically, neither interest rates nor geopolitical risks are friendly, yet storage stocks can still rally like this. This made me think about the few trades I made on SanDisk these past couple of days. I placed an order at 1514 for a whole day; the lowest price hit 1514.5, just 0.5 short of execution; then I changed 1514 to 1515, later it tested the bottom twice, with two 15-minute candlesticks hitting lows of 1515.02 and 1515.2, but still missed by a bit. But what really made me review was not missing out, but the short position near 1700 afterward. I saw it sideways for an hour and started subjectively thinking "it can't go up anymore," plus I had made a profit earlier, so my sense of risk clearly decreased. In the end, I added to the position and even loosened the stop loss, turning an original risk of a dozen dollars into more than 40 dollars. Now I increasingly feel that the biggest fear in trading is not being wrong in your view, but holding a position and only believing the side you want to see. For a highly volatile stock like SanDisk, you can watch support and resistance, but you can't treat resistance levels as a definite reason it will fall. I'll look again on Monday; right now, I prefer to wait for it to choose its own direction #美联储官员称应加息，9月概率升至58.6% #闪迪涨近12%，NAND涨价放缓，产能却加码 $SNDK The Rally Has a Macro Problem $BTC just showed why this market still cannot ignore macro. After pushing above $82K, Bitcoin slipped back below $80K following a stronger-than-expected U.S. jobs report. The move tells me the current rally is facing a simple test: can crypto absorb higher-for-longer rate expectations? The backdrop is mixed. Spot Bitcoin ETFs recently recorded a $731M daily net inflow, showing institutional demand has not disappeared. But stronger labor data and rising Treasury yields are making liquidity conditions less comfortable for risk assets. That creates an important divergence. Institutional demand is supporting $BTC and $ETH, while macro is limiting how aggressively capital can chase risk. My radar is watching whether $SOL, $XRP and $BNB can hold their recent strength without Bitcoin reclaiming its highs first. If capital starts rotating deeper into $SUI, $APT, $AVAX, $NEAR and $SEI while BTC remains stable, that would be a healthier sign of market breadth rather than pure Bitcoin speculation. DeFi is another area I am watching. $AAVE, $UNI, $CRV and $PENDLE should benefit if liquidity continues moving toward on-chain yield and decentralized financial activity. Infrastructure remains important too. $LINK and $ONDO sit directly inside the tokenization and RWA narrative, while $ARB and $OP remain key indicators for whether Layer 2 activity can regain momentum. AI infrastructure is also worth monitoring through $TAO, $RENDER and $FET, particularly if capital begins rotating away from purely monetary trades. The bigger signal is not simply whether $BTC reaches $82K again. It is whether Bitcoin can regain resistance while macro pressure eases and capital begins expanding across sectors. September 11 CPI and the September 15–16 Fed meeting are now major volatility checkpoints. If macro becomes less restrictive, the current pullback could become a reset. If yields and inflation expectations keep rising, this rally may need more time to prove itself. #HammackBacksHike #BTCGoldRatioHigh #OKXOutcomeLeagueFOMC NVIDIA $NVDA just made another big move, spending about $12.9 billion to acquire Hugging Face, an open-source AI community and model hosting platform. For a long time, NVIDIA's core identity was selling GPUs, but now it is expanding into the model ecosystem, developers, AI infrastructure, and the entire software layer. The ultimate goal is likely to keep the AI development ecosystem running around its own infrastructure. This aligns with what Ajian previously proposed as the new stage of AI competition: shifting from whose model is the strongest to who controls more infrastructure, including but not limited to chips, models, developers, cloud, data centers, ecosystems, and so on. #闪迪涨近12%，NAND涨价放缓，产能却加码 SanDisk is currently in a "gray area where the old cycle logic fails and the new logic has not been fully validated." The traditional storage cycle of "price increase—capacity expansion—oversupply—plunge" is being torn apart by two forces: downward is a historically large capacity expansion plan about to release massive supply; upward is the demand structure upgrade brought by AI and the revenue certainty locked by long-term contracts. Citibank analysts put it bluntly: the investment landing means the company has secured long-term orders, "market demand will remain strong at least until 2028." But the six-year 5 trillion yen investment cycle also means this is a high-stakes bet aimed at mid-to-long-term supply structure reorganization—the bet is that AI storage demand will not only continue but also be sufficient to absorb all future new capacity. In the short term, the slowdown in price increases is a fact, but SanDisk's profits are largely locked by long-term contracts; in the long term, the risk of overcapacity is real, but the structural changes in demand may be rewriting the storage industry's cycle rules. What the market is currently pricing in is precisely this "uncertainty" itself. $SNDK $NVDA Non-farm payrolls pushed $BTC back to 80,000 But ETF funds are actually buying heavily Last night, BTC had already surged to around 82,000, but the non-farm payrolls added 162,000 jobs, nearly three times the market expectation, causing the probability of a rate hike to rise again, and BTC was quickly pushed back below 80,000. However, there is one data point I think cannot be ignored. The day before the non-farm payrolls release, the US spot BTC ETF had a single-day net inflow of about $731 million, the largest single-day inflow since January, with IBIT alone absorbing about $454 million. So for now, I will not turn bearish because of this pullback. Macro factors are pressuring $BTC, but institutional funds are still buying. Next, let's see if 80,000 can be reclaimed; if it is, I still look to the previous high, and after breaking through, the target continues at 84,000. The real new variable has become the CPI on September 11.$SPCX surged 6.42% the day before to $149.74, yesterday it even touched $150.85 at the highest, but finally returned to around $149. There is clearly divergence starting around $150. My current judgment on SPCX hasn't changed much. SpaceX has strong fundamentals, but what really needs attention in the short term is the next round of stock unlocking on September 9th. The market has already started trading ahead of this date. So I don't think there's a need to rush around $150. If sentiment continues to push SPCX to around $166 later, that level is actually more worth watching. Watch and wait around $150 first, then consider direction near $166. The risk-reward ratio will be much more comfortable. $SPCX Strategy's Bitcoin approach is shifting from "buy and hold" to active treasury management. This summer, the company sold approximately 6,916 BTC in total, cashing out funds mainly to replenish USD reserves, pay dividends and interest, and repurchase securities, indicating that Bitcoin has begun to play a role in liquidity allocation within the capital structure. However, after replenishing cash flow, the company quickly repurchased 4,603 BTC. This flexible "selling and buying" operation shows that it has not abandoned crypto assets but is moving toward a treasury management logic more typical of traditional enterprises. Despite the strategic adjustments, Strategy still holds over 845,000 BTC, maintaining its position as the largest publicly listed company Bitcoin holder globally. Against the backdrop of spot ETF adoption and premium decline, it is enhancing asset efficiency through more complex capital operations, enabling Bitcoin to flow bidirectionally between accumulation and liquidation. $BTC #BTC兑黄金比率升至1月以来高位，强势能否延续？ #美联储官员称应加息，9月概率升至58.6% Nonfarm Payrolls Bearish for Gold Last night, the nonfarm payrolls data was clearly bearish. US August added 162,000 jobs, far exceeding the market expectation of 56,000. After the data release, the probability of a rate hike in September rose from about 55% to 65%, and the 10-year US Treasury yield surged again. Gold then dropped to around $4420. But I won’t turn bearish on gold just because of one nonfarm report. The current issue is that rate cut expectations have been dashed, and rate hike expectations are heating up again. The next key event is the CPI on September 11. I already bought near 4300 before; here I won’t chase the rally, nor will I panic over a one-day pullback. What gold really needs to guard against is CPI continuing to surge, not this single nonfarm report. $XAU $XAUT $BTC #BTC兑黄金比率升至1月以来高位，强势能否延续？ ZEC breaks 1,000, privacy coins collectively surge—how far can this wave go? ZEC has surged past $1,000, pushing its market cap into the top ten. DASH is up 17%, ZEN up 15%, and the privacy sector saw $5 billion in trading volume in one day, with funds circling like sharks smelling blood. ZEC's real trump card is the Grayscale ETF—launching on August 25, with holdings already exceeding 420,000 coins and assets surpassing $400 million. The SEC investigation has ended, removing regulatory shadows. On-chain shielded transactions account for 90%, with 4.2 million ZEC locked in privacy pools, supply shrinking while demand expands. Grayscale estimates: if ZEC reaches 2%, 5%, or 10% of BTC's market cap, the corresponding prices would be $1,622, $4,054, and $8,109 respectively. But ZEC is not ETH. ETH is a smart contract empire with $45 billion TVL; ZEC is merely a privacy payment tool with no on-chain ecosystem, and its market cap is less than 7% of ETH's. This rally is a "privacy narrative" revaluation, not an "ETH alternative." DASH and ZEN are more of a catch-up rally. DASH lacks fundamental catalysts, with RSI at 76 nearing overbought; ZEN's rise is inflated by Grayscale valuation adjustments, futures volume is five times spot, indicating unstable holdings. Short-term overbought conditions are severe, with $36.6 million in leveraged positions liquidated in 24 hours. The $1,200–$1,300 range is the first barrier, $700–$800 is the lifeline. ZEC has the hard logic of an ETF backing it, and the privacy narrative is a long-term story, but chasing highs in the short term risks getting trapped! $ZEC $DASH $ZEN $TRUMP Don't chase it, don't look at its rise today, it's purely a scam to lure people in and harvest. Its fundamentals are terrible, it's just an emotional coin, an air coin. Let me break it down for you in detail: 1. It's a perpetual money printer. Unlike other tokens that unlock completely in a year, TRUMP is designed to release 909,000 tokens linearly into circulation every day, nonstop. That's why it has small drops every 7 days, big drops every 30 days, it can drop 50% and then drop another 50%, its decline has no end. 2. The banquet trap hasn't been filled yet. Two White House banquets trapped 220 big holders, except for 35 who escaped quickly, the rest are all stuck, and many still haven't sold. This "narrative pump + scam to pass the bag + slow bleed cut loss" tactic is too obvious, it's TRUMP's fatal internal flaw, it can't be pumped up to let them break even. 3. The truly scary competitor is its sibling $WLFI. WLFI is the real bet of the Trump family—USD1 stablecoin with a market cap of 4 billion, ranked in the top ten stablecoins. Even the coins promoted by the Trump family have dropped 80%, indicating the market has discounted Trump's credibility: no matter what you launch, there's an inherent 80% expected drawdown. Moreover, even if funds speculate on Trump, they will prefer WLFI, leaving only some overflow funds for TRUMP, which is too little to pump it up.I don't think the Federal Reserve will really raise interest rates in September. The current rate hike expectations seem more like a temporary boost caused by strong non-farm payrolls and hawkish statements. Just now, a Federal Reserve official came out calling for a rate hike: Inflation is too high, policy isn't tight enough, action should continue. The market immediately panicked, and the probability of a September rate hike surged back to 58.6%. But the problem is that employment looks strong, wages have already started to cool down, and real wage growth has even turned negative. The Federal Reserve is not facing a simple choice right now. Raising rates risks further cooling the economy. Not raising rates risks inflation picking up again. That's why I think: the real determinant of September's policy is not what any official says today, but the CPI on September 11. If the CPI is below expectations, rate hike expectations will quickly cool down, U.S. Treasury yields and the dollar may fall back, and BTC might actually see an opportunity. Conversely, if the CPI again exceeds expectations, then caution is needed. So I don't recommend shorting $BTC now. Wait for the CPI to give the answer; if inflation is not strong, this rate hike panic might actually become a chance to buy at a low point. The market likes to scare you first, then tell you the real answer. This time, wait for the CPI. #美联储官员称应加息，9月概率升至58.6% #BTC兑黄金比率升至1月以来高位，强势能否延续？ Zcash has surged above $1000 this round. On September 4th, ZEC's single-day increase nearly reached 20%, soaring from around $828 to a high of $1023, with its market cap approaching $17 billion. Meanwhile, about $34.5 million worth of ZEC short positions were forcibly liquidated. But this rally is not just about short squeezes. At the end of August, Grayscale's spot ZEC ETF—ZCSH—began trading on NYSE Arca, allowing traditional accounts to directly gain spot exposure to ZEC. These two factors combined make things very interesting. The ETF opens the capital inflow. Short liquidations accelerate the price movement. So a coin that originally didn't have a particularly large market cap can easily exhibit price elasticity far beyond its fundamentals. And the privacy narrative is also returning to the market's spotlight. But what I want to see more is: After the novelty of the ETF fades and most shorts have been cleared out, can ZEC continue to rise based on real demand? If it can, then the narrative has truly returned. Otherwise, it might just be leverage helping it run through the rally ahead of time. $ZEC *Totally agree. $CORE is now entering the 'Show me, don’t tell me' phase* September 7 is approaching, what the community wants is not a PPT, but on-chain data *The current top 3 question marks* 1. *Deposits and withdrawals*: `deposits and withdrawals remain a major concern` Bridge/deposit-withdrawal closed = funds can neither come in nor go out.

(AI inference, KV cache, NBM long-term contracts) — EPS only reaches 135, corresponding to a fair price of 1350. KDJ's J value is 103.65, RSI6 is 78.9, both severely overbought. Current price is 13.7% above the 20-day moving average, with moving averages extremely divergent. 92% of chips are in profit (the most dangerous structure), average cost is 1544, current price is 11% higher. Only about 11% of chips are above 1740 (the vacuum zone means no support to hold). History has already shown: July 10 high at 1946 → July 29 low at 998, a 48.7% drop in 19 trading days. Evidence and hard data (289x PE, 25.2x PB, institutional positions reduced to zero, Fidelity cashed out 18.2 billion). The market generally expects NAND prices to sharply decline after fiscal year 2027. 25x PB has no net asset backing, relying entirely on future profits. The current price of 1740 implies: net profit must increase 12.6 times (from 892 million to 11.2 billion) for PE to return to 22.94. So the question is not "expensive or not," but "whether that 12.6 times growth can be realized." The suspense over a Fed rate hike in September has sharply increased! SanDisk soars 11%, Chinese assets rise against the trend, gold and silver both plunge—what exactly is the market afraid of? On what seemed like an ordinary Friday night, the global capital markets staged a textbook case of "fire and ice." The three major U.S. stock indexes all closed lower, Tesla lost about $100 billion in market value overnight, gold and silver fell in tandem, and Bitcoin dropped below the $80,000 mark. Meanwhile, SanDisk surged over 11%, SK Hynix and Micron Technology rallied strongly, Baidu rose over 4%, and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index climbed 3.37% against the trend. The same market showed two completely different faces, behind which lies a fierce monetary policy debate triggered by the August nonfarm payroll data. On September 4, U.S. Eastern Time, data released by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics made Wall Street collectively take a sharp breath: seasonally adjusted nonfarm payrolls increased by 162,000 in August, far exceeding the market expectation of 56,000; the previous figure was revised from a decrease of 23,000 to an increase of 21,000; June data was also revised upward to 31,000, totaling 55,000 more jobs over two months. The unemployment rate remained steady at 4.1%, and average hourly earnings rose 0.3% month-over-month. Caixin cited analysts pointing out that this was the strongest monthly employment growth since March this year, with the six-month average hiring pace reaching its highest level in over two years. Once the data was released, the market quickly repriced. Federal funds futures showed the probability of a Fed rate hike in September jumped from about 50% before the data release to over 60%. The 2-year U.S. Treasury yield, most sensitive to interest rates, rose 5 basis points to 4.38%. Nick Timiraos, a Wall Street Journal reporter known as the "Fed's mouthpiece," wrote bluntly that the strong August employment data cleared a key obstacle for a September rate hike; the core argument against tightening policy—that the labor market lacked growth momentum—no longer exists. The story is not one-sided. Just the day before, Fed Governor Waller had just sent dovish signals, which Timiraos interpreted as a clear reaction function: if inflation continues moving toward the 2% target, the Fed will hold steady; if August CPI improvement proves fleeting, raising policy rates is the appropriate choice. BMO strategist Vail Hartman’s judgment is representative: this report supports the hawks but is not decisive enough to confirm a rate hike on September 16; employment data still carries less weight than inflation. Citibank’s move is even more intriguing, pushing back rate cut expectations sharply to June, September, and December 2027—delayed by more than half a year compared to previous forecasts. Capital’s instincts are always more honest than words. While the broader market was suffocating under the "rate hike trade," the AI hardware sector was fighting a completely independent battle. Storage giants went on a rampage: SanDisk closed up 11.9%, SK Hynix up 8.14%, Micron up 6.1%, Kioxia ADR up 10.41%, Western Digital and Seagate both up over 5%; in the optical communications sector, Mycronic rose 7%, Coherent 6%, Corning 5.7%; semiconductor equipment maker Aehr Test Systems surged 13.1%. Wallstreetcn’s analysis was spot on: the market was running two trades simultaneously that day—one macro "rate hike trade" and one industry "AI trade." The underlying logic of the storage rally is not emotional speculation. CFM flash market data shows that the global DRAM market size reached $147.024 billion in Q2 2026, a quarter-on-quarter surge of 55.9%, hitting a record high; JPMorgan even raised its 2028 global storage market size forecast to $1.82 trillion. Training a large model with hundreds of billions of parameters requires petabyte-scale storage arrays; computing power is instant consumption, storage is permanent accumulation. Every step AI advances increases its appetite for storage. Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, and other institutions generally predict the supply-demand gap will continue beyond 2027, and this super cycle may last longer than any previous one. On the Pacific side, Chinese concept stocks also performed brilliantly. The Nasdaq Golden Dragon China Index closed up 0.89%, Kingsoft Cloud and Baidu rose over 4%, Bawang Tea, Li Auto, and Xiaomi ADRs rose over 2%, while NetEase, JD.com, and Tencent ADRs also gained more than 1%. Gold prices could not withstand the impact of strong employment data; spot gold fell 0.94% to $4,429.07/oz, spot silver dropped 1.18% to $66.17/oz. Funds quietly flowed out of precious metals and into the AI hardware sector. International oil prices rose against the trend, with WTI closing at $91.48 and Brent at $95.93. On Friday, Trump again urged Fed Chair Powell on social media to "be smart and cut rates quickly," but the market voted with real money in the opposite direction. The countdown to the September 15-16 FOMC meeting has begun. The August CPI data released next Friday will play the true "judge" role. Strong nonfarm payrolls give hawks confidence, but CPI is the key to deciding whether a rate hike will happen. On one side is the "rate hike trade," on the other the "AI trade." The U.S. stock market is telling global investors in the most straightforward way: macro clouds cannot block the light of industry; storage has transformed from a marginal part of the supply chain into a strategic asset of the AI era; valuation logic has been completely reconstructed.

Then, as soon as the non-farm payroll data was released, the market suddenly reversed, with long positions being heavily liquidated, causing nearly $200 million to evaporate in a short time. August's non-farm payrolls increased by 162,000, far exceeding the market expectation of 55,000. This strong data indeed reignited expectations for a rate hike. However, judging that the Fed will act immediately based on just one month's employment figures is probably premature—don't forget, Waller's stance is very clear; he is really focused on August's CPI, which is the key variable that will determine the next step. Returning to the market, Bitcoin pulled back after hitting 82,100, and currently, the battle between bulls and bears near the 80,000 round number is quite intense. The short-term support at 79,000 is important; if it holds, there is still a chance to retest 81,000. Once broken, the next support to watch is 77,500. I am reluctant to chase shorts at that level and prefer to observe the effectiveness of the support. Ethereum's relative strength depends on the 2,500 level; if it holds above, it could gradually target 2,550 to 2,600. If it falls below 2,450, it may retest around 2,400. Both the capital and narrative aspects are more relaxed than before, and I will keep an eye during the pullback. Solana is more volatile; 110 to 115 is the immediate support. Holding that level gives a chance to rebound to around 120 to 125, but if broken, it is not advisable to hold aggressively. The non-farm payrolls were just a shakeout; the real test will be the CPI on September 11. My choice is to continue holding *$CORE This round of token burn is a temporary fix; trust is the fundamental cure 🔥* You hit the nail on the head. Burning 150M is just the first step *Let's start with the positives* 1. *Fast stop-loss*: No rollback, user funds reportedly safe, the excess tokens are directly burned 2. *Right attitude*: Problems are addressed openly, no cover-ups. Better than playing dead This operation has temporarily suppressed the "inflation risk." In the short term, it's bullish *But your question is the core* `how did the issue get this far before being detected?` This is the Achilles' heel of all L1/L2 - *Where was the audit?* Was there third-party auditing on the issuance mechanism/contract permissions - *Where was the monitoring?* 150M excess issuance is not a small amount, how was there no on-chain alert - *Where was the process?* Who has minting permissions? Are multisigs sufficient? `fixing the problem` anyone can do. `making sure it doesn’t happen again` is what matters *$CORE needs to prove three things next* 1. *Transparency*: Incident report + root cause analysis + full disclosure of the fix plan 2. *Mechanism*: Tightened permissions, multisig upgrades, real-time monitoring, bounty program 3. *Time*: No new incidents in the next 3-6 months, 最近交易的一个总结 从 5.29 日 1300 元 7 天干了 55 倍到了 7 万元左右 到 8 月底又亏完了 这次的进步之处在于持续了 2 个月 然后 9 月 1 号 170 美金，到 9.4 号盘中最高 10 倍到了 1800 美金 然后又亏了 我其实知道自己的问题，认知基本到位了，也就是悟道了。但是执行和心态总有问题。 比如 1.等不起，没有出现交易交易系统的信号的标的，为了开单而开单。 2.贪婪和恐惧，昨天以太坊的多单，本金到了 1500 美金，开了 35 个以太多单，开盘均价 2397，盘中的从浮盈到浮亏的震荡，害怕插针给我打掉止损，算了一下止损掉就只能剩下 400 多美金，太怕亏了，所以小止损走了，但是在 8:30 非农数据出来前，其实到了我的止盈位过计划赚 40 刀差价走，那么本金就可以到 3000 美金了。 这是，恐惧。恐惧来源于太怕亏了，亏了没后手。 贪婪也有，useless 的多单止盈后，空单结构很明确，开了空单，但是 500 美金本金，最高赚了 1500 美金，但是明看到了一个支撑位没有止盈，而去赌他跌破，最后也是没赚钱跑了，好像还小亏了。 这$BTC has been moving sideways, but the macro backdrop just got tougher. 👀 🇺🇸 August jobs came in at 162K vs ~56K expected, pushing expectations for a September Fed hike higher. If the Fed stays hawkish: 📈 Yields could rise 💵 Dollar could strengthen 📉 Risk assets could face more pressure I’m not calling for a crash. But right now, BTC needs to prove it can hold support while macro pressure is rising. Next big catalyst: US CPI. 👀 Are we setting up for a breakdown or another BTC squeeze? #BT$BTC BTC $79,618, down 1.5%. 24h range $78,628-$81,395. Non-farm payrolls exploded. 162,000 jobs vs expected 53,000, triple the forecast. Rate hike probability surged to 62%, BTC dropped straight from $82K+ through $80K. But this is not a trend reversal. ETF net inflow was $731 million in one day, BlackRock alone took $454 million, the largest this year. All moving averages are well supporting above $75K, RSI at 66 is healthy, CMF 0.31 still accumulating. Aroon Up 92%, trend intact. $79,000 is the lifeline. Hold it and wait for 9/11 CPI and 9/15 FOMC, if lost, it will return to $77K-$78K. **Short-term bias is bullish, $79,618.** Support at $79,000→$78,500→$78,000→$77,000, resistance at $79,920→$80,500→$81,500→$82,278. A bounce off $79,000 without breaking is a buy point. The non-farm drop is a pit, not a top; ETF money is real cash, not a short-covering bubble.
