BTC still couldn't hold above $80,000 on Friday.
The US added 162,000 nonfarm jobs in August, far exceeding the market expectation of about 56,000, with the unemployment rate steady at 4.1%. After the data release, the 10-year US Treasury yield briefly surged to around 4.80%, and BTC quickly fell from above $81,000, hitting a low of about $79,200.
A more obvious change now is:
$80,000 is starting to shift from support to resistance.
When it previously broke through, $80,000 was the level bulls wanted to defend.
Now if the price rebounds to this level again, it depends on whether new buyers are willing to step in.
But I think there's no need to rush to judge the market as bearish yet.
Because the nonfarm data is just the first test.
The next key event is the US CPI on September 11.
If employment is strong and inflation remains high, the Fed's expectation for a rate hike in September may continue to rise.
If employment is strong but inflation cools down again, the market might pull back rate hike expectations.
So $80,000 now feels more like a watershed.
If it can reclaim this level, it suggests this correction might just be digesting the nonfarm data.
If it can't hold above it, we have to accept a reality:
The previous support may have turned into a new trap zone.
$BTC $ETH #美联储官员称应加息，9月概率升至58.6% After Nonfarm Payrolls, September Rate Hike Becomes the Main Focus
The U.S. added 162,000 jobs in August, far exceeding market expectations, with the unemployment rate holding steady at 4.1%. Strong employment directly changed interest rate pricing, and the market's expectation for a 25BP rate hike by the Federal Reserve in September has risen back to about 60%.
What truly deserves attention is not the "58.6%" figure itself, but the shift in market logic: previously, the trade was on economic cooling and inflation easing; now employment has proven the economy still has resilience, reopening the space for the Fed to continue tightening.
However, a September rate hike is not yet locked in. Waller's latest statement is clear: if inflation continues to improve in August, he tends to keep rates unchanged; if inflation strengthens again, he may support a hike.
So the real direction will be decided by inflation data going forward. Strong nonfarm payrolls only put rate hikes back on the table; CPI may ultimately cast the deciding vote.
For BTC and other risk assets, the biggest short-term pressure is not the 25BP hike itself, but the market revising upward the expectation that "high rates will persist longer." The most dangerous combination now is strong employment plus a rebound in inflation.$USELESS
This is not a low-volume rise, but a high-volume surge followed by high-level volume oscillation. On 9/1, spot volume jumped from about $60 million to over $130 million; on 9/4, a single-day spot increase of +$1.3 billion combined with contracts resonance, representing a typical "news + leverage + short covering" triple-driven rise, not a bottom volume reversal.
Current volume maintains around 0.8 times MCAP, indicating ongoing support, but marginal buying power is weakening—breaking previous highs again requires sustained daily spot volume of $150 million+, otherwise volume-price divergence is likely.
Turnover in the past 7 days is extremely active, with nearly one full turnover of 100% circulating supply daily, meaning: retail investors are fully relaying, with many floating chips.
Whales (top 10 wallets ~31%, overall whales ~47%) can dump anytime, and without lock-up/unlock pressure as a buffer, dumping is purely market price.
High turnover is fuel in an uptrend but a time bomb in a stagnation zone.
Spot: short-term net flow is slightly negative, but early September was dominated by net inflow.
Perpetuals: OI once exceeded $100 million, positive funding rate, crowded longs; once price retraces triggering long liquidation, funds will instantly net outflow.#全球最大主权基金拟减持800亿美元美债
The Federal Reserve hasn't held its meeting yet, but the market has already priced in a rate hike: a 58.6% chance of a September rate hike, surpassing 50% for the first time. The same non-farm payroll report, two interpretations.
▪️ August non-farm payrolls +162,000 (expected 56,000, nearly 3 times)
▪️ Harnack: Policy is not restrictive, action needed due to high inflation
▪️ Citi: First rate cut pushed from October 2026 to June 2027
▪️ Trump: Calls for rate cuts
When employment is hot, rates should rise; when wages cool, rates should fall: wage growth at 3.09% hits annual low, real income turns negative. The disagreement is not about whether inflation is high, but about which data the Fed focuses on — employment data suggests action, wage data shows no evidence of an inflation spiral.
BTC: Don't bet on a one-way move. If the core CPI on 9/11 falls to 2.4%, the probability likely drops below 50%, with a rebound window if 80,000 holds; if it exceeds expectations, 80,000 will be lost. Anchors: core CPI + U.S. Treasuries.
If core CPI cools down, do you bet the Fed will back down gracefully, or will it hike despite the data?The US added 162,000 nonfarm jobs, far exceeding the market expectation of about 53,000, with the unemployment rate holding steady at 4.1%. This was the trigger for the sharp drop.
This nonfarm report is indeed strong, but looking closely, it is not a completely out-of-control employment report. So this data looks more like a "sudden rebound in employment" rather than wages and employment both accelerating again.
This is also why I would not judge that there will definitely be a rate hike in September based solely on this nonfarm report. What really decides this game now is the CPI on September 11.
$BTC $ETH $ZEC #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？ The expectation of a Bank of Japan rate hike is heating up. The real danger isn't just the yen rising a bit, but that the shorts start looking for an exit together.
For a long time, the yen has been the world's most convenient funding currency: borrowing cheap money to buy higher-yielding assets. This trade has been comfortable for so long that many have forgotten it can also backfire. Once the Bank of Japan turns more hawkish, the Japanese Ministry of Finance intervention expectations rise, and the dollar side wavers due to data, yen shorts can easily shift from "slowly withdrawing" to "rushing to exit."
I think this kind of market is most like a sudden blackout in a hallway: no one wants to panic first, but everyone knows the door is narrow. For crypto and US stocks, the yen is not an isolated variable; it pulls the nerves of global leveraged funds.
#日银加息预期升温，日元空头平仓风险上升 $UNI whales have been quietly active this week
On-chain data shows that Uniswap's UNI has been increased by whale addresses by 257,777 tokens, worth about $1.62 million, with holdings rising from 3.2 million to 3.46 million, and a new major holder has joined. Even more impressive is the price: UNI rose 9% in a single day, 47% over the week, with a daily trading volume of $2.69 billion and fees of $10.7 million in one day, all feeding the UNI burn mechanism passed last year.
Honestly, I feel like I missed out on this UNI wave. I was bullish on its fee switch narrative at the end of last year but never acted, watching it quietly take off. Self-mockingly, the more I research, the more hesitant I get; I need to fix this flaw.
My current feeling is that whales are starting to pick blue-chip altcoins with real income instead of blindly chasing memes. UNI has burning, Orca has trading volume, Hyperliquid has buybacks—all are self-sustaining projects.
I quite agree with this style shift. My UNI position was light, but I added some this week; I also followed with a small position in Orca. For those wanting to follow the whales, remember that on-chain inflow and outflow ratios are more reliable than candlestick charts, but don’t copy blindly—whales might also cut you off.No updates these days, I've been observing continuously. After the rally in August, the market indeed showed many positive changes, but after reviewing the recent price and employment data, my outlook for the next month or so is more bearish. The autumn pullback I had been worried about before is still the path I lean towards. This judgment continues from the previous issues. On August 13, in issue 99 discussing the next 60 days, I identified late September to October as a key bottom-building window, with the possibility of postponing to November. Later, issue 101 continued to use this timing judgment. The basis is the position in the four-year cycle and the time experienced in previous rounds moving from top to bottom. In this scenario, the summer low can bring a strong rebound, but autumn may still see a pullback to retest whether the low is reliable. Therefore, the closer we get to the previously outlined time window, the more I want to know whether the summer rebound has truly changed the long-term structure. However, the rally in the latter half of August was clearly stronger than I originally expected. The previously described "weak or sideways" path did not accurately describe this phase, and I must admit this. Because of this, issues 103 to 105 shifted focus to breakout confirmation, giving more consideration to "summer has already bottomed." The tests I proposed then still apply now. After BTC breaks out, can it continuously hold above the 50-week moving average on weekly charts and leave support on pullbacks? After ETH completes valuation repair, can it maintain relative strength against BTC? Only if these improvements continue should the bearish judgment for autumn pullback be downgraded. As of the last completed weekly candle, BTC stillI recently had a pretty clear feeling when watching the market: the current altcoin market is no longer about "who tells the biggest story, who rises." Instead, it has entered a very realistic phase—after a drop, is there anyone to catch it? For example, $XRP, which previously retraced from nearly $1.70, has now held around $1.40 again. If this level can slowly absorb the chips back, it actually means more than suddenly pulling up a 10% bullish candle. The same goes for $SOL. Around $100 now increasingly feels like a psychological barrier that the whole market is watching. On September 9, there is the Transaction V1 upgrade; in the short term, if the price doesn't break down and volume starts to come back, I would be more interested than seeing it suddenly surge to $115. Then there's $LINK. It doesn't have the kind of 20% daily spikes like $ZEC, nor the craziness of $HYPE. But this kind of coin has an advantage: you can easily know what exactly you are buying. Cross-chain, oracle, stablecoin, tokenized assets—these things are essentially the infrastructure needed for future on-chain finance. So if I were to pick altcoins now, I wouldn't ask: "Can this coin double next month?" I would first ask: "If $BTC continues to hover between $78K–82K for a month, can this coin maintain strength?" If yes, I keep watching. If not, no matter how good the story is, I won't bother chasing it. Because a truly healthy market should have increasingly selective capital, not increasingly crazy. Currently, the global crypto market is about $2.Income surges but capital flees! The prosperity of Robinhood Chain hides risks
Robinhood Chain is experiencing a starkly contrasting market phenomenon: on-chain income data has surged dramatically, yet on-exchange funds are massively withdrawing. The issues behind this prosperous facade warrant caution.
The biggest contradiction for this chain is no longer whether profits can be made, but whether this income can be sustained long-term. On September 2, Robinhood Chain's single-day on-chain income soared to $4.01 million, sparking heated market discussion.
However, the spotlight did not last. On September 4, the capital flow direction completely reversed, with large-scale outflows exceeding $21 million in a single day. Meanwhile, the hype around on-chain Meme coins cooled rapidly, and market sentiment clearly waned.
This raises a core market question: Is the impressive on-chain high income derived from real, grounded business demand, or is it merely a short-term bonus fueled by Meme speculation?
Once the Meme craze fades, on-chain income will likely drop sharply in tandem. The previously optimistic annual income forecast of $100 million will struggle to support the project's high valuation. Going forward, the key will be whether this public chain can continue to generate stable cash flow after the MEME speculation wave subsides.
Reaching a new income high is just the beginning. The true core value of a public chain lies in its ability to endure bull and bear cycles and sustain cash flow without relying on short-term hype. Evaluating a project requires looking beyond short-term impressive data to discern the underlying logic behind the income.
$BTC $ETH $ZEC
#美联储官员称应加息，9月概率升至58.6% The late-night market was originally quiet, with many traders bearish and placing a large number of short orders. The brief drop in U.S. Treasury yields acted like a signal, causing the cryptocurrency price to suddenly surge upward. A large number of short positions triggered forced liquidations, and passive buy orders flooded in, pushing $BTC rapidly up to around 82,000.
Major communities instantly became lively, with many mistakenly believing a new rally had begun and rushing to buy at higher prices. However, this upward momentum came from short stop-losses; no large-scale new capital entered from outside the market. Once the short liquidation was complete, the upward push was directly exhausted.
Then, with non-farm payroll data exceeding expectations, interest rate hike expectations intensified, and U.S. Treasury yields rebounded, effectively creating a headwind. The 81,000–82,000 range was burdened with a large amount of trapped positions and short-term profit-taking, causing profit funds to gradually exit. Meanwhile, Ethereum and altcoins struggled to follow the rally, like the main force charging ahead while teammates couldn’t keep pace, failing to form market synergy.
The price did not crash directly but slowed down, oscillating and gradually retreating. Market sentiment polarized: short sellers were shaken out by the late-night surge; traders who chased at high levels fell into passive suffering.
Currently, the market is at a critical point, with 77,500–78,000 as an important threshold. Holding this level means the market is just consolidating and oscillating, with bulls and bears repeatedly tugging; a decisive break below would open further correction space.
Ultimately, this is just an impulse move triggered by external forces, not a trend reversal. Macro policy direction remains the true driver. In a volatile environment, contracts are prone to two-way stop-loss sweeps, requiring extra caution.#AFTER THE NFP SHOCK: Now volatility is gradually cooling down. BTC: $79K–$80K zone ETH: around ~$2,450 SOL: near ~$102 The violent pump-dump that happened after NFP is now showing signs of immediate pressure settling down. WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED? U.S. jobs data was stronger than expected, which increased pressure on the Fed's rate-cut outlook and supported yields/dollar. Result? ⚡ Leverage-heavy positions were flushed out, long liquidations accelerated, and short-term traders were forced In this round of $ZEC's market movement, the most agonizing part has never been for those who missed the entry. The market did not follow their script at all; the price continuously broke upwards, recently reaching around $1050, repeatedly hitting nearly a decade-long high. Just a month ago, ZEC was fluctuating around $500, and now in a short time, the price has almost doubled, with a cumulative increase of nearly 94% over the past 30 days and more than 2300% over the past year. The momentum far exceeds normal market expectations.
This surge can no longer be simply described as "short-term speculation on privacy coins." Multiple core positive factors have resonated: since the spot ETF officially launched, it has brought in at least $34.4 million in net inflows, injecting ample new capital into the market; meanwhile, the privacy narrative in the crypto market has fully heated up, with a large number of miners' computing power continuously entering to take over chips. The three core elements of capital, narrative, and chips coincidentally formed a synergy at the same time, directly driving the market to an unusually strong trend.
The stronger the market consensus that "such a high rise must fall," the more traders enter to short; and the more short positions accumulate, once the price slightly breaks upward, a large number of forced liquidations passively convert into buy orders, ultimately becoming fuel that pushes the market even higher. This creates a short squeeze that self-reinforces, pushing this round of $ZEC's rise to an even more extreme state. #OKX预言家：9月FOMC利率决议预测上线 【Interest Rate Hike Expectations Heat Up Again, What Impact Does It Have on the Subsequent Trends of $BTC and $ETH】
In one sentence from Hamarak, the probability of a rate hike in September has reached 58.6%.
This lady voted against it back in July, saying that companies reported raw material prices rising sharply, and the current interest rates alone can't suppress it. Last week's non-farm payroll data was still decent, so the market quickly adjusted its expectations.
But honestly, 58.6% looks intimidating, but it's actually still a toss-up. A few days ago, when Walsh spoke, the probability surged to over 70%, then Waller came out and lowered it back to 50%. This kind of back-and-forth market is the most exhausting.
For BTC and ETH, with rising interest rate hike expectations, short-term pressure is certain. The cost of capital is higher, and risk assets take the brunt first. But previous rounds have also shown that BTC's reaction to rate hikes is becoming blunted, with more focus on liquidity expectations.
Next, watch two things: first, the August CPI, and second, oil prices. If inflation data again exceeds expectations and the probability of a rate hike rises further, there might be another short-term drop. But if the data is moderate, the market will likely correct back.
For ETH, besides macro factors, we also need to watch on-chain activity and gas fee changes.
When the direction is unclear, don't leverage too heavily; in a volatile market, the worst is getting slapped back and forth.
Personally, I am still bullish on the big picture, but in the short term, I don't rule out another dip triggered by news. Hold your spot positions steady, and be cautious with contracts.
#美联储官员称应加息，9月概率升至58.6% $ZEC @OKX中文 Two days ago I said Tesla's trend was "not very exciting," and now the answer is out.
Before the Cybercab event, the market was waiting every day for "big news."
At that time, TSLA was hovering around 355, and I felt something was off.
Because in a truly strong bullish scenario, capital usually doesn't wait until the conference ends to start buying.
Now everyone has seen the result.
After the Cybercab story was told, TSLA actually dropped more than 6%.
I'm now increasingly certain of one thing:
Tesla's biggest problem isn't that the company isn't attractive enough, but that its story always runs ahead of its profits.
Robotaxi, FSD, Optimus, AI...
Each story alone could be worth a lot of money.
But sooner or later the market will ask:
Where's the money?
That's also why I’m not rushing to bottom-fish just because TSLA dropped 6%.
I even feel—
If Cybercab doesn't soon produce data that truly validates commercialization, this 6% might not be the market's last re-pricing.
Elon Musk's greatest skill is making the market willing to pay in advance for the future.
But the harshest truth about stocks is:
If the future keeps being delayed, the bill will have to be settled sooner or later.
Tesla bulls definitely don’t want to hear this.
$TSLA #特斯拉股价走强，无人出租车成焦点 BTC is sitting around $79.7K this morning after pulling back from the $82K area.
The rejection shows sellers are still active, but the bigger question is whether $BTC can hold the $78K–$80K zone.
A reclaim of $80K could bring momentum back.
For now, I’m watching price action and waiting for confirmation.
#HammackBacksHike #BTCGoldRatioHigh #OKXOutcomeLeagueFOMC Sandisk's inclusion in the S&P 100 is truly positive news, but it has already been priced in early by the +11.9% gain on 9/4 — and the actual passive funds entering the market only account for 1.5% of the trading volume. This is precisely the most dangerous combination: the story is told, the money hasn't arrived, and the stock is extremely overbought.
Academically, MSCI's research shows that the positive returns from inclusion can last for 60 days after the effective date — but that conclusion mainly comes from emerging markets and small-cap stocks (the "Investor Recognition Hypothesis"). Sandisk is a giant with a market cap of 254.8 billion and has been included in three indices already, so this rule does not apply to it.
The overbought condition must correct:
1. There is no real capital support. Passive buying of $350–700 million is negligible for a stock with a daily average turnover of 20 billion. The rise is driven by sentiment, and when sentiment fades, there is no support.
2. Diminishing marginal effect. This is already the fourth time being included in an index. The passive funds that should have entered during the first three times (S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, Bloomberg 500) have long been in. The S&P 100 inclusion is just the same money moving between different baskets — for OEF to buy Sandisk, it must first sell stocks like Nike and Colgate that were removed, resulting in almost zero net increase.
In Q2, hedge fund holdings surged 125% (from $11.3 billion to $25.6 billion, from 114 to 128 firms) — these players are betting on the index inclusion, and their profit-taking point is around 9/21.
$SNXX $CORE staking rewards have resumed, showing that the project team is indeed working on fixing the vulnerability.
But the core issue hanging over the market has yet to be resolved: how exactly will the 150 million excess tokens be burned?
Will they be directly transferred to a black hole address for on-chain public burning? Or will a buyback and burn model be adopted?
This is not a trivial numbers game; whether whales or ordinary retail investors, everyone is watching the final destination of these tokens.
The burn must have verifiable on-chain proof; it cannot rely solely on a written notice or verbal announcement.
If the project team continues to evade and delays publicly disclosing a complete handling plan, market doubts will continue to ferment.
A large amount of capital in the secondary market will use this as a rationale to short, and selling pressure could materialize at any time, making it difficult for the price to truly stabilize.

First, interest rate expectations eased, ETFs saw large inflows, shorts covered, and the price surged to near a four-month high.
On Friday, employment data exceeded market expectations, bringing the rate hike probability back into discussion.
So this is not just a story within the crypto circle.
It's a liquidity story.
What really matters is not "whether it will reach the next round number."
It's whether three things hold true simultaneously:
Whether spot demand still exists (can ETF net inflows continue)
Whether leverage has piled back up
Whether the next CPI will again rewrite the rate cut/hike script
In a month dense with macro data, treating single-day price moves as trends usually comes at a cost.I finally get it, brothers. 👀

#OKXOrbitTopics#August Nonfarm Payrolls 162K Far Exceed Expectations, Rate Hike Bets Heat Up
$BTC dropped from 82K back to 79K: fake breakout traps traders, position size is more dangerous than direction
Yesterday some were still shouting "82K holds, the bull is back."
Today, as the US August nonfarm payrolls were released: 162K new jobs added, while expectations were only 56K.
$BTC plunged from the high of 82,178 straight down to 78,650, with intraday volatility exceeding $3,500.
The market hasn't suddenly changed.
Many mistook a "breakout" for a "trend," and "volume surge" for "safety."
Let me be clear with my view upfront, so you can criticize me:
I’m not chasing longs in the short term.
78.6–79.0K is an observation zone, not a zone to add positions.
If it doesn't reclaim 81,400, I treat yesterday’s 5% bullish candle as a bull trap.
If it breaks below 78,650 and fails to recover, the next target is 76,300.
Why not side with the bulls? Just three numbers.
First, 82K is not new territory.
It was tested in May, again on August 25, and once more yesterday—three attempts without holding overnight. The chips stacked here mean it’s not a vacuum #HammackBacksHike #BTCGoldRatioHigh #OKXOutcomeLeagueFOMC Most traders watch candlesticks to explain moves, but they’re looking in the wrong place.
This rally wasn’t driven by crypto, it was driven by US macro policy.
August’s bounce came from Fed repo liquidity easing. Falling Treasury yields and a weaker dollar gave BTC room to run — up 25%+ with $3.5B in ETF inflows, the year’s strongest capital push.
Early September’s spike to $81K was a short squeeze fueled by dovish rate-cut hopes.
#HammackBacksHike #BTCGoldRatioHigh #OKXOutcomeLeagueFOMC The latest U.S. jobs report just dropped a serious macro bomb on crypto. 🇺🇸 NFP came in at 162K — roughly 3× expectations. And suddenly the Fed-hike narrative is back on the table, with markets pricing around a 60% chance of a September hike. Treasury yields jumped, the dollar strengthened, and crypto took the hit. That explains the divergence: 🟥 BTC → back under $80K 🟦 ETH → losing momentum 🟩 Alts → getting squeezed harder 🏦 Equities → holding up far better than crypto But here’s the inte$CORE CORE did complete the hard fork fix and token burn, but the price didn’t rise, and the reason is straightforward:
All the positive news has been fully priced in
After the vulnerability was exposed, CORE plummeted 19.5% in 7 days. The fix itself was already expected by the market. A 4% rise is just a response to returning to normal, not a new upward momentum.
The burn scale is negligible
Over 150 million tokens were permanently burned, which sounds like a lot, but CORE’s total supply is 2.1 billion, so this only accounts for 0.7%. There are still large amounts unlocking and being sold monthly, so this burn can’t support sustained price increases.
Trust cracks are hard to repair
The project team has yet to disclose details about the vulnerability, the exact amount of excess rewards, or whether any tokens have already entered the market. Coinbase and four other exchanges once suspended deposits and withdrawals. Market doubts about governance won’t disappear just because of one hard fork.
Simply put: fixing the vulnerability was necessary, not beyond expectations. Without fundamental changes to the token economic model, this level of positive news is unlikely to reverse the long-term downtrend. #HammackBacksHike #BTCGoldRatioHigh #OKXOutcomeLeagueFOMC Most traders watch candlesticks to explain moves, but they’re looking in the wrong place.

#HammackBacksHike #BTCGoldRatioHigh #OKXOutcomeLeagueFOMC #美联储官员称应加息，9月概率升至58.6%
The Fed hasn't met yet, but the market has already priced in a rate hike — the probability of a September hike has been pushed to 58.6%, surpassing 50% for the first time. However, the nonfarm payroll report driving this increase contains two contradictory conclusions.
▪️ August nonfarm payrolls +162,000, expected 56,000, nearly 3 times the forecast
▪️ CME rate hike probability: ~50% → 58.6% (previously cut to 50.2% after Waller's speech)
▪️ Citi delayed the first rate cut from October 2026 to June 2027, 8 months later
▪️ Harnack: policy is not restrictive, inflation too high requires action; Trump: publicly calls for rate cuts
Employment is hot enough to warrant a rate hike, wages cool enough to warrant a cut — August wage growth at 3.09%, a yearly low, with real wages turning negative. The disagreement isn't about whether inflation is high, but on which side of the Fed's scale to measure: employment at 162,000 is there; wages provide evidence against an inflation spiral. Citi has taken a stance: 58.6% only decides September, the first rate cut pushed to the year after next is the real hawkish signal.
BTC view: Don't bet on a one-sided move. 58.6% is a clear bearish signal, but the verdict depends on the 9/11 core CPI — Bloomberg expects it to drop to 2.4%. If it really falls, the probability will likely be pushed back below 50%, and BTC holding above 80,000 will open a rebound window; if core CPI exceeds expectations, a rate hike is confirmed, and losing 80,000 will lead to a further drop.PONS has just opened USDT-margined perpetual futures on OKX at 03:00 UTC on September 5. But the key point is that the price had already moved hard beforehand: PONS had gained roughly 41% in 24 hours and pushed toward the $0.73–$0.75 ATH area after reports that Uniswap Labs acquired a position. ⦿ So this is not simply a case of “OKX listing = PONS goes up.” The listing adds another liquidity channel, and more importantly, brings PONS into the perpetual futures market — where traders can use leve$ZEC To be honest, I wasn't particularly eager to talk about this, but since everyone is interested, I'll briefly share my personal view.
This wave of ZEC has already risen quite a bit, so it's normal that most shorts are feeling uncomfortable.
Currently, ZEC's market cap is about 17.1 billion USD, while $DOGE is only 13.3 billion. Regarding ETFs, ZEC currently has 1, and DOGE has 4. I have to say, ETF expectations have indeed played a big role in this recent surge.
So if you want to short $ZEC, you must be mentally prepared for it to continue skyrocketing. Position size, stop loss, and your own expectations are all very important.
I'm currently shorting ZEC myself, with a personal target around 1450, so at this stage, I can still accept this price. As for why I look at 1450 but choose to short instead of go long, explaining that would be too long.
Based on past experience, some coins held by Grayscale do tend to experience a sharp pump followed by a quick dump, and the decline is often very fast.
As for whether it can hold at the peak in the end, that depends on your own judgment.
Not enough words, goodbye!If you agree that BTCFi is the next phase of a long-term narrative worth paying attention to, then the most important question is: who is truly taking on the financialization of BTC? Currently, I believe there are two directions especially worth noting: Babylon and Core. But the two are actually not the same kind of approach. Babylon is more like doing: Bitcoin Security Layer The core logic is: BTC ↓ Staking ↓ Economic Security ↓ PoS Network ↓ Earning Yield In other words, Babylon's core is not simply moving BTC to another chain, but making BTC the economic security asset of other networks. Currently, Babylon's BTC TVL has already reached the level of several billion dollars. This data is very important because it proves one thing: the market is indeed willing to turn BTC from a "static asset" into a "productive asset." Core takes a different route. Core is closer to: Bitcoin Financial Ecosystem BTC ↓ Staking ↓ DeFi ↓ Lending ↓ DEX ↓ Yield It aims to build a complete financial ecosystem around BTC. So I prefer to understand it this way: Babylon: BTC → Securit Strong non-farm payrolls pressure valuations, but the AI industry chain and privacy coins have real demand support!
$BTC Non-farm payrolls increased by 162,000, far exceeding expectations, then came under pressure again. It's not due to negative news within Crypto, but the market re-trading high interest rates, with US Treasuries and the dollar strengthening together. Fortunately, ETF inflows remain strong, institutional demand hasn't disappeared, and CPI will be the key going forward.
$RE rose 3% to 0.46, with abnormal trading and expanding volume for two consecutive days. Small-cap coins tend to be pulled up by funds when the market is sideways; with a market cap of 70 million, it has high volatility. 0.45 is support, 0.50 is key resistance. This kind of small coin follows sentiment, so set stop losses and don't get attached.
$ZEC broke through $1000, making the privacy sector the strongest sub-sector in this round. ETF funds, spot demand, and short squeeze combined have exaggerated the upward speed, but as derivatives volume and open interest grow simultaneously, it has moved from fundamental revaluation to a fundamental plus leverage phase, so volatility will only increase.
ETH is still a high-elasticity version of BTC; ETF staking and corporate holdings continue to absorb supply, and elasticity expands as soon as macro eases; SOL remains near $100, with a trading format upgrade on September 9 as a fundamental catalyst; MU rose 3.26%, with HBM core suppliers directly benefiting from AI server demand; AVGO rose slightly and stabilized, supported by an AI revenue guidance of 58 billion!
#美联储官员称应加息，9月概率升至58.6% $DOGE rebound fuse may be hiding in two signals.
TD Sequential has completed a 9-count on the daily chart, suggesting selling pressure may be exhausted.
At the same time, a Morning Star pattern signals a potential bullish reversal.
Two signals aligning can create stronger technical entry conditions—but they’re probabilities, not guarantees. Volume and follow-through still matter.
$DOGE 👀Two primary scenarios from here: Orange 🟧 - bullish path BTC completes some variation of an impulse over the coming days, followed by a three-wave correction. If we get that structure, I’d be much more confident that BTC is heading back towards new all-time highs. Blue 🟦 - bearish path BTC begins moving down impulsively. That would confirm the price action from February until now was a flat and increase the probability of new lows. The exact paths may look different from what I’ve drawn - it’s$BTC IS TESTING BUYERS AGAIN 👀
Bitcoin’s push toward $82K looked promising, but sellers quickly stepped in, sending price back toward $79K.
Now the key question isn’t whether $BTC touched $82K it’s whether buyers can defend $78K–$80K.
Hold that zone and bulls could get another shot at resistance.
Lose it decisively, and the short-term structure could weaken further.
No rush. Let the chart confirm.Got it, the coin price crashed but money is still flowing into the channel
After the non-farm crash, many people focused on BTC dropping from about 81,200 to 80,000, even once below 79k, and ran away quickly
The truth is the opposite
The US spot ETF has had a net inflow of about $3.8 billion over three weeks
Marking the strongest three-week accumulation since 2026
This week another inflow of about $987 million, about 7% more than last week
Thursday alone saw about $731 million, the largest single day since January 14
On Friday, the day the price crashed, there was still a net inflow of about $175 million
BlackRock's IBIT took about $117 million, about 67% of that day
Total scale about $101.3 billion, with a historical cumulative inflow of about $55.6 billion
After the big outflow at the beginning of the year, this is the first time the rhythm has truly been turned around
Retail investors got scared off by the candlestick
But money in the channel is still coming in
Along with ETH spot ETF inflows from about $824 million down to $218 million, a drop of about 74%
XRP shrank from about $110 million to about $19 million, a drop of about 83%
Money is clearly squeezing into the BTC channel, not the whole market running away together
So understood, the bearish candlestick on the chart does not mean funds are leaving
Spot channels and leveraged positions are offset accounts
Don't just use one bearish candlestick to label institutions
The next real pricing anchor is the September 11 CPI
Not last night's bearish candle, don't get scared away Strong non-farm payrolls pressure valuations, but the AI industry chain and privacy coins have real demand support!

#美联储官员称应加息，9月概率升至58.6% $ICX suddenly surged 50%, the long-dormant old coin is stirring up trouble again.
A few days ago it was still around $0.008, now it has surged above $0.013, this short-term spike is indeed fierce.
But this rise should not be seen as just an ordinary rebound.
ICX is currently at a very special stage, with ICON preparing to officially shut down the network by the end of this year and complete the migration to SODAX. After September 30, the two-way exchange between ICX and SODA will become one-way, only allowing ICX to be exchanged for SODA.
Coincidentally, around this time window, ICX suddenly experienced a volume surge, making it easy for the market to start speculating on the "last wave of the old coin's rally."
However, although the rise from 0.008 to 0.013 looks exaggerated, the price is still at a historical low. For such a small market cap, low liquidity old project, once funds concentrate in, a 50% rise is not unreasonable, but the pullback can also be very fast. $BTC has been consolidating sideways for a long time, seemingly unable to fall, but in reality, risks are continuously accumulating.
US non-farm payroll data exceeded expectations, significantly raising the market's probability of a Fed rate hike in September. Once the policy meeting releases a hawkish signal, US Treasury yields will rise, the dollar will strengthen and Bitcoin, as a risk asset, will come under direct pressure.#HammackBacksHike #BTCGoldRatioHigh #OKXOutcomeLeagueFOMC $ZEC Current Market Status (2026-09-05)
Current price around 1008 USDT, nearly 100% increase in the past 30 days, short-term already in a high range.
- Market characteristics: shallow liquidity, frequent spikes, large bullish and bearish candlesticks are normal; frequent liquidations in the futures market, intense leverage fund battles.
- Main drivers of this rally: SEC ending investigation, anticipation of Grayscale ZEC spot ETF, privacy sector hype, halving supply contraction; partly driven by speculative funds, not entirely from actual on-chain usage explosion.
- Chip characteristics: large holders concentrated positions, after a short-term surge, there is selling pressure risk from large holders and miners unloading.
Three scenario simulations (logical deductions only, do not represent guaranteed price movements)
✅ Optimistic scenario: ETF approved smoothly, regulatory environment friendly
Trigger conditions: US SEC approves Grayscale ZEC spot ETF; Federal Reserve cuts interest rates, overall crypto market improves; no strong global bans on privacy coins.
- Expected performance: compliant institutional funds enter, ZECUSDT pushes higher. But due to small market size, the rise will be accompanied by extremely intense back-and-forth volatility, with deep corrections after big rallies.
- Potential risks: after positive news materializes, "buy the rumor, sell the fact" may occur, with profit-taking pressure causing a pullback.
#ZEC现货ETF首日成交额1480万美元 #美联储官员称应加息，9月概率升至58.6% #ZEN: Early Listing Valuation Was Low, Horizen 2.0 Transformation Brings Value Repricing Opportunity
✅Bullish: Core Logic Supporting Value Repricing
1. Early in the listing, privacy sector awareness was insufficient, and the opening valuation was indeed low compared to similar privacy coins.
ZEN launched in 2017. At that time, ZEC, also in the privacy sector, received a high premium at market opening, while ZEN had limited market recognition early on. Its market cap and per-coin price were suppressed compared to similar privacy coins at the opening stage.
Initially, it was an independent PoW public chain, bearing full network security and cold-starting its ecosystem alone, with poor liquidity. It was long undervalued by the market, and many technical accumulations were not fully priced in.
2. Horizen 2.0 is a complete strategic overhaul, fundamentally changing the project and warranting repricing.
From an independent L1 privacy public chain to a Base-layer L3 compliant privacy infrastructure:
- Inherits Ethereum’s security base, no longer maintaining hash power security independently; EVM compatible, greatly lowering development barriers, gaining access to Base’s massive liquidity and developer resources.
- The approach upgrades from pure anonymous transfers to modular privacy with ZK+TEE authorized auditing, avoiding regulatory dead ends faced by strong anonymity coins, opening new scenarios like privacy DeFi, AI confidential computing, and on-chain reputation Obscura.
- Total supply remains capped at 21 million, PoW mining is completely ended with no new mining output; token roles upgrade to governance, staking, and privacy service payments, with ecosystem service fees having a buyback mechanism to capture tokens.
The fundamentals are completely different from the old ZEN listed in 2017; the old market pricing system no longer fully applies, creating conditions for repricing.
3. Token distribution structure is gradually improving.
Current circulation rate is about 87%, with remaining reserves unlocking linearly monthly over 48 months, fully unlocked by 2029-07-23; after unlocking, treasury token outflows require DAO voting and will not be dumped unconditionally. After staking mechanisms launch, some tokens will be locked up, further shrinking circulating supply.
4. Long-term sector logic: Web3 compliant privacy is a blue ocean.
Ordinary public chain transactions are fully public; more DeFi, AI, and institutional businesses require privacy protection while supporting auditability. If benchmark applications like Obscura succeed, they will generate real business demand, driving the token’s value to be reassessed by the market.$SNDK I think Micron's recent rise was initially underestimated by the market in one aspect: AI not only increases demand for HBM but is also redistributing the entire memory industry's capacity.
HBM consumes a lot of wafers; using the same capacity for HBM means less is available for regular DRAM. Meanwhile, AI servers require not only HBM but also a large amount of DDR5, so the current situation is somewhat like this: the most profitable products are competing for capacity, while other products are also in short supply.
This explains why Micron's profit elasticity has been so exaggerated recently.
Many of the chipmaker's costs are fixed—factories, equipment, and R&D have long been spent. When memory prices rise from 100 to 120, revenue might only increase by 20%, but a large portion of that extra 20% can directly turn into profit. So when the memory cycle is up, profit growth often far exceeds revenue growth.
More importantly, the market never buys stocks based on how much is earned today, but on how much can be earned six months or a year from now.
What everyone is really trading now is: AI capital expenditure continues to grow → HBM squeezes capacity → DRAM remains tight → Micron gains stronger pricing power.
Therefore, I think Micron's previous rise is not just "riding the AI wave." Essentially, the market suddenly realizes that memory manufacturers have much stronger bargaining power in this cycle than previously imagined. XRP experienced a relatively large pullback today, with limited recovery after intraday dips, reflecting a cooling in short-term risk appetite for the payment sector. The core focus for XRP remains the cross-border payment narrative, changes in the regulatory environment, and progress in institutional applications, but it is also an asset highly sensitive to news. The current market seems to be digesting previous positions, and active trading indicates that disagreements have not ended. If overall market sentiment improves, XRP's resilience is often strong; if risk assets continue to be under pressure, volatility may continue to increase. $XRP#The world's largest sovereign wealth fund plans to reduce $80 billion in U.S. Treasury holdings
The leader has something to say
The world's largest sovereign wealth fund proposes to reduce $80 billion in U.S. Treasuries. The Norwegian sovereign wealth fund manages about 2.3 trillion in assets, and the management suggests lowering the government bond allocation from 70% to 50%, potentially reducing U.S. Treasury exposure by $80 billion. This money is not leaving the U.S. but shifting to MBS guaranteed by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae, switching to higher-yielding products.
El-Erian said that the $80 billion scale itself is not large, but traditional buyers are becoming less reliable, making this signal very important. The U.S. Treasury doubled its long-term bond buybacks just last month, and now the sovereign fund is starting to adjust its allocation.
If global central banks and sovereign funds are quietly rebalancing, pressure on long-term U.S. Treasuries will persist. The suppression of risk assets by high interest rates will not disappear.
After BTC fell below 80,000, it is still fluctuating and has not reached a position to buy again $BTC $ETH $ZEC
The above analysis is timely; orders must have stop-losses set. Good luck.On the surface, the price shows some movement, but the underlying pressure hasn't eased at all. For Meme coins that heavily rely on political hype and market sentiment, short-term rallies do not mean a change in fundamentals. I am more concerned about the following issues👇 1️⃣ Biggest pressure: The continuous unlocking of $TRUMP tokens is not a one-time event but will continue until the end of 2027. According to the current unlocking schedule, the next major release is on September 18, about 28.7 million TRUMP tokens, corresponding to approximately 4% of the current market cap, mainly involving internal holders. This means that every time the market just starts to rebound, the supply side could again become a significant factor suppressing the price. 2️⃣ Strong narrative, but sustainability is key TRUMP's biggest advantage is attention. But attention and long-term value are not the same thing. If the price increase mainly depends on events, celebrity effects, and sentiment, once the hype cools down, the speed of capital withdrawal is often very fast. Recently, the overall crypto market has also experienced noticeable volatility, with BTC briefly falling below around $80,000, and risk appetite has cooled. Therefore, in this environment, the tolerance for chasing Meme coins on the rise is not high. 3️⃣ WLFI is a more worthy comparison group Similarly related to Trump crypto narratives, $WLFI's World Liberty Financial at least has product lines like DeFi, governance, and the USD1 stablecoin.ATOM has recently seen some recovery, demonstrating the resilience of a veteran cross-chain asset. The core value of Cosmos still lies in modularity, inter-chain connectivity, and the application chain ecosystem, but the long-term market debate is also clear: the technical narrative remains strong, while the key focus is whether value capture and token demand can improve. If current funds flow back from overvalued new coins to the infrastructure sector, ATOM may gain temporary attention; however, to form a more sustained market trend, we need to see more active ecosystem engagement, staking demand, and positive changes in governance direction. $ATOMWhen the market suddenly quiets down, I actually feel a bit uncomfortable. Have you noticed that recently this market is like a cat dozing in the afternoon, but its ears keep twitching? I watched the K-line all night, and that feeling grew stronger — September might see a real big shakeup, but most likely not right now. Many people get nervous when they see the word "shakeup," but the scenario I understand is the opposite: the market might first give everyone a candy, pull up and let people relax their guard, then harshly wash out the chips. Let me be clear, I'm not just guessing. Looking at several key supports, they are all solid floors. - BTC at 74K, this is the bottom line for bulls; if broken, it’s a different logic - ETH at 2350, tougher than many think - SOL at 95, this level is crucial for altcoin sentiment - ZEC at 750, HYPE at 73, these two are thermometers for sector sentiment If these levels still hold, the big structure is intact. What’s most worth paying attention to now is not the price itself, but what expectations the market is trading. What I observe is: safe-haven funds are slowly probing, but haven’t reached concentrated risk aversion yet; leveraged funds are also starting to contract, but not to the panic deleveraging extent. This "not yet extreme" state precisely indicates the real cleansing hasn’t come. Capital preferences have actually quietly changed. In the past few days, I checked on-chain data; the inflow speed of stablecoins has slowed, but there’s no large-scale outflow from exchanges. What does this mean? People neither want to chase highs nor... #美联储官员称应加息，9月概率升至58.6%
The Federal Reserve will hold a policy meeting on September 15-16. The key to the actual decision on whether to raise interest rates will be the August CPI data released next Friday.
The current market pricing reflects a divergence between two paths: "a one-time rate hike correction" and "a renewed tightening cycle."
$BTC If the inflation data is moderate, the 58.6% probability may quickly decline; if inflation exceeds expectations, the probability may further increase.
