"Meta Spends 70 Billion on Buybacks, Who Decides the AI Bubble?"
Meta just launched a $70 billion buyback, the third largest in U.S. stock market history, only behind Apple and Google.
In the past month, all I’ve seen is talk about AI crashing. Capital expenditures collapsing, small models stealing cloud jobs, data centers turning into unfinished buildings—it's the same story every day, making my ears numb.
But Zuckerberg stayed silent and directly spent money to buy his own shares. Annual revenue is up, cash flow is strong. They’re not just talking tough; they really have the means.
Writing bearish reports costs nothing. But daring to spend 70 billion to buy your own company means you truly think it’s cheap.
Just a side note: record-breaking buybacks often happen at market peaks. When a company is at its most inflated, it’s usually also the most expensive. Everyone who lived through the 2007 buyback wave knows what came next, no need to elaborate.
So this money can support Meta, but it can’t support the entire AI market. Individual stocks are individual stocks; bubbles are bubbles. Next week’s Micron earnings report will be the real test.
What do you think? Is this 70 billion a sign of confidence or a market top?
#波动雷达：币种异动观察 #OKX星球话题来啦 $BTC $ETH BTC还在8.3万美元附近，暂时没出现明显破位，但山寨已经开始提前交作业。 ZEC一天跌12%，和前面那波强势上涨形成鲜明对比。资金现在明显更挑剔了，BTC还能吸住流动性，很多高波动山寨却扛不住抛压。 宏观端不用讲太复杂，油价上涨、美债收益率继续走高，本质上就是给风险资产添了点压力。市场甚至开始讨论10年美债收益率触及6%，但在BTC还守着8.3万的时候，没必要先自己吓自己。 另一个值得留意的是Bitget黑客资金。超过5000万美元的被盗资金通过NEAR Intents尝试兑换，再次把无许可交易和资金安全之间的矛盾摆到了台面上。 现在这个盘，我更关心的还是BTC能不能守住8万美元。 BTC稳，山寨还有喘气的机会；BTC真把8万砸穿，估计就不是几个ZEC跌12%的问题了。Luke Pettit is leaving, resigning in October to join the private sector.
You might not have heard of him, but he was involved in both the GENIUS Act and the CLARITY Act.
Simply put, he was the person in the Treasury Department who actually drafted the stablecoin regulations, and now he's quitting.
From a market maker's perspective, the first reaction isn't necessarily positive or negative—it's that one more expert is gone.
When a rulemaker leaves, the successor either has to relearn or follow the old playbook. The timeline for the legislation to be implemented will likely be pushed back.
This kind of news has a very indirect impact on the market, but it does slightly dampen sentiment.
The most common mistake retail investors make is to see "regulatory personnel changes" and immediately think "all the bad news is priced in." Don't rush; the person is gone, but the work remains.
What do you think? Is this a normal job change, or did someone catch a whiff of something in advance?

#Aave支持代币化美股抵押借USDC #ChainlinkCCIP2.0正式上线 $ZEC Today, the A-share technology sector performed much better than yesterday. The short-term panic selling following the news has temporarily ended, and the market has temporarily regained rationality.
However, today's rebound is not a trend reversal. Technically, it can be seen as a short-term structural recovery rebound after selling. Emotionally, it is still on the eve of the National Day holiday. Attention should still be paid to whether the Chinese official media confirms the news of purchasing Nvidia chips.
Especially with the National Day short holiday approaching on Thursday, October 1st, pre-holiday risk aversion is a routine operation. Especially tomorrow, buying pressure will not be strong. Today's rebound is very likely a speculative trade taking the opportunity to catch a rebound wave. Tomorrow is the key! #财报观察员：美光财报临近，AI存储需求成焦点 Brothers, why does $ZEC never really crash?
Today it dropped from 1660 to 1375, nearly 300 points down. I thought it was finally going to collapse, and my short position was showing promising floating profits. But what happened?
Today it bounced back from 1375 to 1425, narrowing the 24-hour drop to 6.86%. My short at 868.79 is now showing a floating loss that expanded from -174% to -192.18%, with a margin of 52.26U. This kind of back-and-forth market is more torturous than a direct liquidation.
Why does ZEC never really crash?
First, the order book data is holding strong. The Bid/Ask ratio is 35% to 65%, with the sell side clearly dominant, but the price just won’t fall further. There are a large number of buy orders around 1425 supporting the bottom, so the bears can’t push it down. The market makers’ ability to defend the price is indeed strong.
Second, the shorts are too crowded, and the market makers won’t let them get out easily. The funding rate is still negative, so shorts are paying to hold their positions. The dynamic groups are all shouting short, and retail investors are rushing in recklessly. Do you think the market makers are kind enough to let shorts profit? Every time they push it down, it’s to force shorts to cut losses, then they pull it back up.
Third, ZEC’s independent narrative isn’t over yet. Grayscale’s ZCSH spot ETF assets are close to $900 million, Paradigm has publicly disclosed investment in ZEC, and the NU7 upgrade hasn’t been implemented yet. The positive catalysts aren’t fully out, so capital won’t easily give up on this asset.
My judgment: The drop from 1660 to 1375 is a normal correction, not a trend reversal. The key support is at 1375; if it breaks, then 1300 is next. But the market makers’ defense is too strong, so in the short term it will likely oscillate between 1400 and 1500. I’ll keep holding my short, with a stop loss above 1600 and a target at 1300. But brothers, don’t stubbornly hold like me. For a coin like ZEC, whether shorting or longing, you have to find the right entry and exit points—quick in, quick out.

$ETH #本周迎非农与PCE关键数据 ZEC: Whale trapped, bears don't laugh too soon
A ZEC bullish whale holds 18,000 coins, with an opening price of $1622, a position worth about $28.77 million, currently floating at a loss of $1 million. This coin rose from $15 all the way to four figures, representing both a faith-driven market and a cliff built by leverage.
Seeing the whale's situation, many have reversed to heavily short, causing the market to decline smoothly in the short term. But thinking calmly, everyone is watching the whale's losses—who can guarantee they won't be the next one publicly exposed?
With weakening trends and fading narratives, the $1622 cost may be trapped long-term; once funds counterattack, bears will also be left hanging.
There's a saying in the futures market: "The bold die full, the timid die hungry." But there's a third outcome in futures: first die full, then die hungry. $ZEC
This week, focus on the non-farm payroll and core PCE data.

$BTC $ETH $ONDO#美债收益率创2007年来新高，黄金跌超3%
#美债收益率创2007年来新高，黄金跌超3%
The 10-year US Treasury yield surged to 5.27%, and the 30-year to 5.55%, both hitting new highs since 2007. Gold plunged over 4% intraday, and silver dropped nearly 5%.
High oil prices are sustaining inflation, with the market pricing in a 70% chance of a rate hike in October. Gold yields no interest, and with US Treasury yields rising, funds are flowing into bonds, putting pressure on gold prices.
$BTC BTC is also retreating, but the reasons differ: gold, as a safe-haven asset, is suppressed by rising rates, while BTC, as a risk asset, is losing liquidity.
In the short term, as long as US Treasury yields do not decline, BTC's rebound will be limited. The key focus is on US Treasuries as the macro core.The market has been surging these past two days. The short-term trend looks like it's about to break through, but if you look at the trading volume, although it has broken through twice, the volume is still shrinking.
As the saying goes:
A breakout without volume is a false breakout!
With the current volume,
it's not enough to support a continued rally, so be cautious of a pullback.
For short-term trading, you should sell high and buy low; don't chase the rally, and don't stubbornly hold on.
I've already opened a short position and am ready to add more at any time.
Stop loss: previous high at 85,000
Take profit: half at 83,000
For the remaining half, wait for my update on any changes."Data not yet released, bears take the lead first"
This wave of pressure is really hard to contain.
The US 10-year Treasury yield has risen above 5%, naturally tipping the balance of funds toward bonds. With risk-free returns increasing, high-volatility assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum are the first to be pressured.
This week, PCE and non-farm payroll data have not yet been released. The market fears expectations running ahead and data delivering a follow-up blow. So in the short term, I still stand with the bears and am not rushing to bottom-fish.
Next, watch two key levels: whether $BTC can break 82000 and whether $ETH can hold above 2700. A strong breakout would indicate that negative factors may have been priced in early, and the strategy should change; if these levels cannot be surpassed for a long time, weakness is likely to continue.
Before the data is released, move less and observe more. Wait for PCE, non-farm payroll, and ETF fund flows to give direction before deciding whether to turn bullish. I will continue to share if there are new developments.

#美债收益率创2007年来新高，黄金跌超3% $BTC deleveraging, not a crash
24h total liquidations on the network reached 463 million, with long positions accounting for 370 million — shorts were liquidated yesterday, longs on Monday, alternating cleansing of longs and shorts. No sudden negative news, just too much leverage piled up.
My judgment: 70% deleveraging, 30% macro pressure. The 10-year US Treasury yield broke 5.11% (highest since 2007), bleeding non-interest assets; non-farm payrolls and PCE data are pending, raising expectations of rate hikes.
But the money hasn't fled: spot ETFs have had net inflows for 7 consecutive days, last week 2.98 billion, the strongest in nearly a year. What’s falling is leverage, not the long-term holders — 81% of BTC hasn’t moved in six months, ETF buyers’ cost is about 86,000, still in floating profit.
Key levels: 83,000 is the dividing line between bulls and bears, resistance at 84,300–86,000; breaking below 82,600, the next liquidation zone is at 80,500 (about 1 billion long exposure).
Deleveraging is a necessary checkup in a bull market. This week’s data will be the referee.

Yesterday, BTC experienced volatility and a false breakout, making the possibility of reaching 80000 increasingly likely. The market is characterized by repeated bull and bear traps, a very typical tug-of-war.
Short-term, abandon the fantasy of a rise and focus on risk control.
Brothers who are bottom-fishing and still holding between 76000-79000 need to be cautious. Many have added positions on floating profits during the rise, pushing their cost basis above 81000.
The market is about to hit the cost line; deciding whether to sell or hold is very difficult.
#财报观察员：美光财报临近，AI存储需求成焦点 BTC lost 83,000 again, range logic remains intact
$BTC After three days of sideways movement, it failed to break higher and fell back below 83,000. Last Thursday's breakdown looked more like a stop hunt for longs; this time the capital background is different: ETFs are still seeing net inflows, institutions are buying, but the price has yet to make new highs, indicating that selling pressure above and quarter-end portfolio adjustments are being absorbed. Tonight, 83,000 is the watershed; if it closes back above, it remains in the box; if pressure continues, first watch 82,000, then 81,000—whether the institutional cost zone of 81,000 to 81,700 can hold. Near 81,000 there is nearly $100 million in long liquidation liquidity. Resistance above is at 85,000 and 87,000. Wednesday's PCE and Friday's Nonfarm Payrolls may amplify volatility.
$ETH High leverage longs are accumulating near 2,630, only about 1% away from liquidation zone. If 2,630 holds, consolidation continues; breaking below easily triggers chain liquidations and a drop to 2,600; supports at 2,630/2,600/2,500, resistances at 2,700/2,800.
$SOL Leverage is not crowded; above 117.5 remains strong consolidation, holding this level could retest 123–125; supports at 117.5, 115, 108–109.

#美债收益率创2007年来新高，黄金跌超3% $XAG Market Review
After surging to 65, it consolidated with sluggish gains, then was hit by consecutive large bearish candles breaking down to 61, a single wave drop of over 6%.
Reasons for the crash
US Treasury yields broke 5%: outflow from non-interest-bearing assets
US dollar strengthened: resistance above 101 suppresses precious metals
Technical breakdown: insufficient volume, consolidation leads to exhaustion
Industrial drag: economic slowdown dampens demand expectations
Outlook
Break below 60.5 → accelerate down to 58-59
Hold above 61 → chance to rebound to 62-63 range
With rate hikes + high yields + strong dollar, precious metals face triple pressure, gold and silver adjust in sync. [Old Leek Observation]
$CRV suddenly accelerated these past two days, and it's not just about DeFi rotation.
Curve already completed a supply reduction in August this year, with CRV's annualized new issuance dropping from about 115.5 million to 97.16 million, a direct decrease of about 15.9%.
More interestingly, Curve has recently been expanding LlamaLend V2.
On September 23, a proposal appeared on the governance page to enable the "Tokenized Stock LlamaLend V2 Market" on Robinhood, and on September 28, a new market proposal appeared on the ETH mainnet.
One is continued contraction on the supply side, the other is lending business starting to expand into tokenized stocks.
If this wave is not purely a short-term pump, DeFi funds are actively seeking protocols with real income and product expansion.

What's your read: healthy consolidation or fading momentum? $BTC daily chart still maintains a bullish upward structure, with the price continuously holding above the short-term moving average, and the mid-term uptrend has not reversed. However, today's candle shows a small bullish candle with a high wick, clearly reflecting strong selling pressure in the $84,500–85,000 range.
Regarding technical indicators, the daily RSI remains around 59, close to the overbought threshold, indicating overextended bullish momentum and insufficient short-term upward strength; the MACD bullish structure continues, but the red bars are shrinking, showing weakening upward momentum and a strong need for short-term consolidation.
Key intraday support/resistance levels
Core resistance levels
First resistance: $84,300–84,500 (today's intraday high, dense short-term chip pressure zone, multiple intraday rejections, very difficult to break through);
Strong resistance: $85,000 (psychological round number + previous high during consolidation, difficult to break in the short term).
Core support levels
First support: $83,000 (intraday consolidation center, short-term strength/weakness dividing line, if held, the consolidation pattern remains unchanged);
Strong support: $82,500–82,300 (today's intraday low, short-term bullish defense baseline, breaking this will trigger a deeper pullback).Super short WeChat Moments the next day:
$ETH "Entered at 2636.3, exited at 2643.39: I took $7 but missed the following $100"
September 28.
ETHUSDT, 100x full position long, 5 ETH.
Entry price:
2636.3
At that time, my plan was simple—
Take profits when the market offers, don’t be greedy.
So when the price reached 2643.39, I closed the entire position immediately.
The whole process took only:
8 minutes 18 seconds.
The actual return on this trade was:
+20.78%
Felt pretty good at the time.
Entry, profit, exit, all done in one go.
Took the $7 fluctuation directly.
But then...
The next day checking the market:
ETH was already at 2734.99.
Looking back at my exit point:
2643.39.
I took $7.
And from my exit point, ETH went up nearly $100 more.
At this moment, I truly understood what it means to:
Exit too early.
If I had held on then, looking back now, the return would have been completely different.
But the harsh truth about trading is here.
You can only see the market after you exit, never know in advance how high it will go.
When I entered at 2636.3, I didn’t know it would reach 2734.99.
When I exited at 2643.39, I also didn’t know if it would drop right after.
So the choice at that time was essentially:
Take the confirmed profit or continue to bear the unknown volatility.
I chose the former.
And the result proved:
I did exit too early.
Not just a little early.
I missed nearly $100 of the move.
But this also made me realize one thing:
Trading isn’t about always selling at the highest point.
If you demand to catch every single move, it’s easy to go from "reluctant to exit" to "giving back all profits."
So this time, I accept it.
Entered at 2636.3.
Exited at 2643.39.
Return +20.78%.
Then ETH went all the way to:
2734.99.
I missed the later move.
But at least this trade ended according to my plan.
Making less profit isn’t scary.
What’s truly scary is doubting your trading discipline because of one missed opportunity.
Next time the market moves, I will judge again.
After all, the market never lacks opportunities.
It’s just that this time, I really exited too early. Is the Federal Reserve's interest rate hike really effective?
In simple terms: raising interest rates works for demand-pull inflation, has limited effect on supply-side inflation, and comes with significant side effects.
The logic behind raising interest rates:
Increasing the US dollar interest rate makes saving more profitable and borrowing more expensive. Residents reduce consumption, businesses borrow less for investment, fewer US dollars circulate in the market, demand cools down, and prices naturally fall. This is the principle of using rate hikes to suppress inflation.
But it has limitations:
If inflation is caused by supply shortages such as oil prices, supply chains, or tariffs, simply raising interest rates is unlikely to fundamentally solve the price problem.
Side effects of raising interest rates:
1. US corporate and mortgage interest costs rise sharply, which can drag down the economy and even trigger recessions or business failures;
2. The US dollar becomes more attractive, causing global capital to flow back to the US, which can impact emerging market exchange rates and stock markets;
3. The US government itself has huge national debt, and the higher the interest rate, the more interest it has to pay annually, increasing fiscal pressure.
Summary:
Raising interest rates is a double-edged sword. In the short term, it can suppress demand and stabilize inflation expectations, but it cannot solve supply problems. Prolonged high interest rates will gradually puncture asset prices and bring economic downturn risks.

BTC surged from 80,000 to above 87,000 then pulled back to around 84,123, with profit-taking triggering the correction. The daily structure remains intact; 83,500 is the first support level, and only a rebound above 85,000 would indicate strength. Capital begins to question profitability: HYPE's HIP-3 requires staking 500,000 tokens for each new perpetual market, contributing both staking demand and fees, but it is already at a historical high and faces token release pressure; UNI is awaiting the CME futures launch on October 19, which equates to regulatory endorsement and institutional entry.

Hot inflation + strong jobs keeps hikes alive. Cooler inflation + weaker hiring gives the Fed room to ease.
What caught my attention is the messy middle: sticky inflation with weaker jobs.
That would force the Fed to choose between price stability and labor risk, while BTC, gold, stocks and bonds all reprice the answer.There is a detail about SOL today that I think is more worth watching than the price change percentage.
While monitoring the market today, I noticed that SOL had multiple large buy orders repeatedly appearing around the $118–$120 range.
Single orders of two to three hundred thousand dollars are not particularly extraordinary, but what really caught my attention is that these orders did not appear just once; they appeared repeatedly at several different times.
This kind of capital behavior at least indicates one thing — when the price returns to this area, there is capital willing to actively buy in.
Of course, large buy orders do not mean the price will immediately rise. The real key is whether SOL can stabilize the price after these buy orders come in. If capital keeps entering but the price keeps falling, it means the selling pressure above is greater; conversely, if the price gradually holds steady and active buying appears afterward, I will raise my expectations for a short-term recovery of SOL.
So today, I’m not guessing how high SOL can go.
What I want to watch more is whether the money that entered around $118–$120 ultimately caught the bottom or ended up catching a falling knife.
$SOL $BTC Chopping around but holding the $83K level so far. This is important because that level was the May high which marked the weekly market structure break.

Downside observation: If 1H closes below 311.51, watch for support near 308.68; piercing support does not necessarily mean continuation.Still bullish 📈 Yellow Hair still isn't giving the bears an easy breakdown.

🔥 Single token surges 27%, three major veteran DeFi projects collectively catch up｜This gains leaderboard hides market signals
GRASS surged 26.93%, topping the OKEx gains leaderboard.
CRV, AAVE, and CVX simultaneously entered the top ten, all veteran DeFi blue chips.
The simultaneous rise of narrative tokens and veteran DeFi projects is no coincidence and deserves in-depth analysis.
Reviewing the OKEx contract gains leaderboard, today's afternoon market trend is very worth studying 📊
✅ Top spot: GRASS, 24-hour gain +26.93%, trading volume $83.71 million
✅ Following closely: CRV +20.55%, 0G +20.45%, NMR +16.59%, AAVE +13.48%, CVX +12.95%
The key highlight of this list: it’s not a single sector rotation, but two completely different upward logics working simultaneously.
🔹 Main line one: AI data track, GRASS stands out alone
GRASS belongs to the Solana ecosystem, with a core model where users share idle bandwidth to provide training data collection services for AI companies, earning token incentives.
It belongs to the popular AI+DePIN narrative track. During market sentiment recovery, funds favor this type of target, and the market elasticity is considerable 🤖
🔹 Main line two: Rare collective surge of DeFi blue chips
This is the important market signal: CRV, AAVE, and CVX simultaneously break into the top ten gains.
All three are veteran leading protocols in the DeFi track, with CVX (Convex) deeply tied to the CRV (Curve) ecosystem, showing a very strong linkage.
Such collective synchronous rise of veteran blue chips historically often indicates that large on-chain holders begin to replenish positions. Compared to scattered altcoin fluctuations, this kind of move from professional funds has higher reference value and less short-term speculative elements.
💡 Market interpretation
If only GRASS rises alone, it is more of a short-term sentiment speculation;
but the simultaneous rise of veteran DeFi blue chips means funds start allocating to targets with real protocol revenue, and the sustainability of the market will be better than pure narrative tokens.
🌙 Future market observation ideas
The US stock market opens at 21:30. If market risk appetite recovers, the two main lines are expected to strengthen simultaneously;
If the evening market weakens, DeFi blue chips, these smart money heavy holdings, often have stronger downside resistance.
Key focus going forward: who resists the fall and who leads the rise will distinguish whether the market currently favors narrative or fundamentals.

Binance is having issues too!
On July 8th, about 50 BTC were withdrawn from Binance and converted into SolvBTC and BTC+ to earn approximately 3% annualized yield. Subsequently, the minting and redemption functions of BTC+ were suspended. On July 22nd, Solv Protocol publicly disclosed the related security incident and stated that assets were not compromised; on July 31st, the project team announced that the functions had been restored, but its address remains restricted, and about 50 BTC assets have not been redeemable to date. The user said they have submitted proof of fund source and wallet control, and called on Binance and investors to pay attention.The real divergence this time is not how much $BTC has risen, but whether the rebound above 84K can turn into an effective breakout. Binance public market prices are approximately $BTC 84,166 (24h +1.71%), $ETH 2,716 (+2.60%), $SOL 119.7 (+1.36%); mainstream coins are also relatively strong, but BTC has yet to surpass the intraday high of 84.4K, with 85.2K still being the more critical upper decision point.
Shuqin's approach is more long-term: accepting the daily MACD swings, buying in batches on pullbacks, not treating short-term fluctuations as trend reversals, and viewing $BTC 83K and $ETH 2,650 as rebound observation zones. Another more cautious path watches the resistance at $ETH 2,750–2,780; if the price is rejected at the highs, the stop loss is set above 2,810. The difference between these two views is not in the directional slogans but in whether the close and volume can confirm.
My personal market view is to wait first, not chasing orders near 84K; if $BTC breaks and holds 85.2K with volume, I will consider following the trend, and if 82.8K is lost, I will reduce risk first. There is no sufficiently public and verifiable catalyst opportunity in the window, so I am not expanding on specific projects for now. Do you value the 85.2K breakout more, or the 82.8K defense?

The 10-year US Treasury yield could rise to about 6%, a level hardly seriously discussed since around 2000. Currently, this curve is pushing up from 5.23%. More interestingly, since the end of 2023, yields have risen by about 135 basis points, yet Bitcoin has not been crushed by high interest rates; instead, it has risen to around $86,000. The key is not the 6% figure itself, but why interest rates are rising: if driven by deficits and term premiums, capital will seek anchors beyond government debt, benefiting Bitcoin and Ethereum; if the Federal Reserve tightens again and withdraws liquidity, that will be the real pressure point for this bull market.
$BTC $ETHNMR surged over 28% in one day, but contract open interest has expanded to three times that of yesterday, and the price has retraced nearly 18% from its peak.
As of 17:58 Beijing time, OKX spot is around $12.78, with a 24-hour trading volume of about $4.7 million; after hitting $15.52 intraday, it quickly pulled back, indicating heavy turnover at high levels.
More importantly, the contracts. The notional value of open interest is about $1.72 million, compared to about $520,000 24 hours ago, an increase of approximately 231%; the current funding rate is about -0.1222%, and the perpetual premium is about -0.33%. The price is still higher than yesterday, but contracts continue to trade at a discount, with clear inflows of short and hedging positions.
My judgment is that this is not simply a trend continuation, but an entry into a high-leverage divergence zone after the rise. The most common misjudgment is equating a negative funding rate directly with an inevitable short squeeze; if spot buying weakens, crowded positions may first amplify volatility downward.
Next, watch around $12 and changes in open interest. If $12 is broken and open interest remains high, the pullback is more likely to continue; if it reclaims $15.52 while open interest declines and funding rates return to neutral, that would indicate the first round of leverage battles is starting to clear. $NMR $UNI 1.37 million UNI transferred to Wintermute, such a large order is most likely an institutional wash trade to unload.
On-chain anomaly on September 28: 1.37 million tokens transferred into Wintermute address, suspected OTC profit-taking; bulls lost $400,000 that day, at the 8.79 level, short-term floating positions are rotating.
New development on governance: Arc's on-chain UNI protocol fee + burn proposal has entered the governance process. If truly passed, Uniswap's fee toggle will effectively have an additional mechanism.
Technically, 8.79 retraced near the 14-day moving average, the 30-day moving average at 7.44 is far below providing strong support, the 30-day + 70% major trend remains intact, RSI at 63.5 is not overheated.
Subsidy expiration is just a short-term friction, not a directional change.👀 $MU earnings could be less about the past quarter and more about what comes next.
The key signals I’m watching:
• HBM demand
• Memory pricing
• AI data-center spending
• Forward guidance
With expectations already elevated, the outlook could matter more than the headline EPS.
AI demand is strong — now the question is how durable it really is. 📊💾
#MicronEarningsAheadCurrently, I am more focused on market liquidity and short-term leverage washing. BTC has retreated from recent highs to around $83K, with short-term pressure mainly coming from rising US Treasury yields and oil prices, with the 10-year yield once approaching 5.27%. But liquidity has not completely weakened: US spot BTC ETFs saw a net inflow of about $2.4B last week, indicating institutional demand remains. So my approach is simple: 🔹 $82K–$83K: Focus on support 🔹 $85K: key area 🔹 for short-term resurgence. Pull back to $86K: a chance to test previous highs 🔹 again. Below $82K: short-term pullback potential may expand further. I still hold $ETH spot and some altcoins I previously positioned near $1,800. In my view, this decline is more like a process of washing out short-term weak hands and reducing leverage, rather than a trend reversal. ⚠️ Don't chase gains in the short term, nor panic over a single bearish candle. Patiently wait for liquidity to stabilize again, then look at the next direction #BTC #ETH #Bitcoin #Crypto #BTCAnalysis #PCEAndPayrollsWeek #BitcoinETFBehind the $1.2 trillion AI capital expenditure, there is an increasingly complex cycle of funds
Cloud providers place orders for chips and servers, suppliers expand capacity, and data centers finance through long-term leases and private credit. Some AI companies are both customers and partners or shareholders. Money circulates many times within the same ecosystem, and each company it passes through can record it as an order, backlog demand, or future revenue, making the market easily fall into the illusion of "unlimited demand"
I'm not saying these orders are fake; computing power demand is indeed outrageously strong. But investors need to distinguish the external customers who ultimately pay from the internal industry chain's long-term commitments signed to capture market share. If model revenue doesn't keep up, the first to face problems may not be the giants but the highly leveraged operators building data centers betting on a single client. The larger the AI capital expenditure, the more we should ask whose pocket the money ultimately comes back from
