Let's talk about a macro hidden line covered by the encrypted K-line: Trump laid his cards on the table last night, ExxonMobil and Chevron will enter Venezuela, and he also said the U.S. will replenish its strategic petroleum reserves. On one hand, there's talk of increasing production; on the other, calls to replenish inventories. The oil market game is getting bigger and bigger.
What does this mean for trading? Increasing production is a force to suppress oil prices, but "replenishing strategic reserves" is a solid buy order. These two forces hedge each other, making the short-term direction of oil prices even harder to bet on. And this oil price line is directly connected to inflation expectations, the pace of interest rate hikes, and the interest rate ceiling above $BTC.
So don't just focus on the coin price when watching the coin price. How crude oil moves often determines your winning or losing move this month more than that neighboring encrypted K-line.Here's the most trade-relevant tech case today: Apple has officially sued OpenAI, accusing them of stealing trade secrets. Apple claims to have found new evidence in a MacBook provided by OpenAI last August, alleging that OpenAI used Apple's proprietary information to train AI agents and even accessed circuit diagrams of power adapters. Apple is now requesting expedited disclosure of evidence.
Why does this matter for the market? The entire AI narrative has been the main engine driving risk assets this year, with $NVDA's earnings and computing power expansion supporting everyone's valuation expectations. But once the top players shift from "collaboration" to "mutual accusations of trade secret theft," the market will inevitably have to reprice the certainty of this narrative.
When giants clash, it's gossip in the short term but a narrative fracture in the long term. This underlying thread is more worth noting than a single bullish candlestick on the chart.In September, the A-shares market saw the Shanghai Composite hovering around 3100 points for twenty days, with trading volume shrinking from 600 billion to 400 billion.
Several positive policies were introduced, but every time the market opened higher, it turned into an opportunity to run, specifically targeting retail investors chasing rallies.
Spending enough time in the stock market makes it clear that this "all good news priced in" script is the same pattern as pump news in the crypto space.
Recently, $UNI was pumped from $7.5 to $8.2; once the news spread, those who chased got stuck halfway up the mountain.
Three days later, it dropped back to $7.3, failing even to hold the starting point, very much like those A-shares thematic stocks that dump after announcements.
Then there's $AVAX, repeatedly faking breakouts around $25; every time volume surged, people thought it was a real start.
What happened? The next day, it shrank volume and drifted down, mirroring the trend in our photovoltaic sector—pure deception.
Now I only watch $BTC, which has been sideways between 59,000 and 62,000 for almost two weeks, no volume means no movement.
In August, I made a trade in the stock market, earned 3% and exited, avoiding the subsequent four consecutive down days.
Remember, in a low-volume market, patience beats any technical indicator.
Wait until the two markets’ trading volume returns to 800 billion, or Bitcoin breaks above 65,000 with volume, then go all in.
Entering a few days late won’t lose money, but entering one day too early might lose all profits. Staying alive is better than anything else. #就业数据密集公布，沃什政策立场受检验 This week, the US employment data lineup is intense, with ADP, initial jobless claims, and nonfarm payrolls coming one after another. The market will once again scrutinize: Is Walsh continuing to focus on inflation and applying the brakes, or quietly easing off after seeing employment cool down? This round of employment data not only determines rate cut expectations but also tests how firm Walsh's previously tough stance really is. If new job additions are strong, unemployment remains stable, and wage growth is on the hot side, it indicates the US economy can still hold up, giving Walsh more confidence to emphasize inflation risks. The market will reprice for "higher rates staying longer," strengthening the dollar and US Treasuries, which is short-term bearish for Bitcoin. If Bitcoin happens to be at a high level, it might use this opportunity to shake out the bulls! Conversely, if employment clearly cools and unemployment rises, the market will preemptively bet on policy easing. The dollar and Treasury yields will fall, giving BTC a chance to retest previous highs. But if the data is too bad, don't pop the champagne yet; the market might first trade recession fears, causing a collective plunge in risk assets before a big V-shaped recovery. The most likely scenario is a moderate slowdown in employment without a crash. This leaves room for policy easing without triggering recession alarms, which is most favorable for BTC in the medium term. Employment data sets the questions, Walsh answers them, and Bitcoin tests both bulls and bears to the point of existential doubt $BTC #就业数据密集公布，沃什政策立场受检验 Last night, the three major US stock indexes all fell—the Dow dropped 0.7%, the S&P and Nasdaq also closed in the red, the Nasdaq Golden Dragon China Index dropped more than 2 points in one day, and Alibaba fell 4%. Risk assets collectively weakened in the same direction, and $BTC was no exception, lingering near seventy-eight thousand with a bearish tone.
People often ask me whether to buy the dip or short at this level. My answer is: neither should be rushed. In this "stocks down, crypto follows" linkage, the biggest mistake is to talk about crypto's independent story—the overall market bias hasn't eased, so crypto is unlikely to rally against the trend on its own. I’m almost fully short on futures, not because I lack an opinion, but because I’m waiting for the market bias to give a clear direction first.
Do you think this is the start of a risk-off phase, or just another fake move on a thin Monday market?#Anthropic: New IPO Developments, Prospectus Expected to be Public in September Anthropic's IPO is clearly accelerating. The latest news shows that the company plans to publicly release the IPO prospectus after the US Labor Day, with a potential listing window around late September to early October. Previously, Anthropic secretly submitted an S-1 draft to the SEC in June, so if the prospectus is officially made public this time, it means the market will be able to see for the first time its revenue, costs, cash flow, and the actual level of AI computing power investment.
I believe what is truly worth watching is not "Anthropic is finally going public," but how much valuation premium the public market is willing to give to cutting-edge AI companies.
The market has even discussed a potential valuation close to $2 trillion, and the core supporting this pricing is the expectation of rapid future revenue growth. But Anthropic is also aggressively expanding its computing power, with a six-year computing power agreement signed with Nscale alone reaching $45 billion.
Therefore, after the prospectus is made public, the three numbers I am most focused on are: revenue growth rate, computing power costs, and free cash flow.
If growth can cover the huge capital investment, the high valuation still makes sense; if revenue grows quickly but requires continuously higher computing power costs, then the market is ultimately trading not profits but a very expensive long-term expectation.
This IPO by Anthropic may not only be about pricing itself but also the public market's first real pricing of the "cutting-edge large model" business.Iran attacked Jordan, US stocks first faltered, but BTC is still hovering around 78K.
I actually find this quite interesting.
Yesterday, the US and Iran exchanged fire again, pushing oil prices directly above $90, and the market immediately started worrying about one issue:
If oil prices keep rising, what about inflation?
Coincidentally, with the Fed turning hawkish, expectations for a rate hike in September were already heating up. Another surge in energy prices will only increase the market's interest rate pressure.
Logically, this environment is not very friendly to BTC.
But after BTC fell from around 81K to a low near 77K, it is still fluctuating around 78K.
This shows that although the market is scared, there hasn’t been obvious panic selling yet.
Right now, I’m watching two levels:
77K — whether the pullback here can hold.
80K — when BTC can reclaim this level.
If 77K holds, this wave of BTC looks more like a high-level consolidation.
If the Middle East situation continues to escalate and oil prices keep pushing up, and BTC can still hold 78K or even break above 80K again, then the strength of this market is worth serious attention.
Personally, I’m still bullish for now, not chasing short-term moves, waiting for BTC to take back 80K on its own.
The real signal this time might be hidden in "the war escalated, but BTC didn’t really drop".
$BTC #美伊军事对抗升级，原油供应风险升温 Brothers, August has ended, and BTC delivered a surprisingly good report card.📈
Starting from 62,000, it surged past 81,000 at its peak, closing near 78,400 at the end of the month, up 23% for the month, outperforming gold (9%) and the Nasdaq (4%), marking the strongest August performance since 2017.
🔥 Three driving forces: ETF inflows of $3.3 billion for the month, BlackRock IBIT absorbed $600 million in a single day; US Treasury bond repurchases doubled, a weaker dollar ignited a "devaluation trade"; shorts were collectively slaughtered, with about $9.7 billion liquidated over two weeks.
⚠️ At the end of the month, Powell turned hawkish, and BTC dropped from 81,000 back to 77,000. The probability of a rate hike in September is priced at 58%, and upcoming non-farm payroll data will decide whether this fire continues to burn or gets extinguished.
August ended well, but September is the real test.👇$BTC Inflation in Europe is once again sounding the alarm for the market.
Germany's consumer prices rose 2.9% year-on-year in August, higher than July's 2.8%, marking the highest level since April. Although this is below the market's original expectation of 3.1%, the trend itself is still noteworthy.
What I am more concerned about is not how high the 2.9% figure is, but the reasons behind it.
Energy prices have once again become the main driving factor. The Middle East situation has not eased significantly, and rising oil and gas prices are transmitting inflationary pressure to Europe. Similar situations have been seen in data previously released by France and Spain.
This puts the European Central Bank in a rather awkward position.
On one side is the pressure on economic growth, and on the other is the inflationary pressure brought by energy prices. If inflation continues to rise, monetary policy will naturally find it difficult to quickly shift toward easing.
According to the current official schedule, the European Central Bank has already raised interest rates once, and the market expects another rate hike on September 10. Traders have even started betting on further tightening of policy next year.
From the perspective of the crypto market, I think this signal cannot be ignored.
In the past, people were more accustomed to focusing on the Federal Reserve, but now Europe is also showing the chain of "energy price rise → inflation heating up → interest rate expectations turning hawkish."
If this situation continues to spread, the global liquidity environment may be more complex than imagined.
So, how BTC, ETH, and other risk assets move next cannot be judged by their own charts alone.
Oil prices, European inflation, the Federal Reserve, and the European Central Bank may be jointly determining the next phase of market sentiment. #BTC high-level tug-of-war between bulls and bears, gold linkage strengthens After BTC's rapid rebound, the real focus is no longer whether it can continue to rise, but whether there is enough incremental capital at the high level to complete turnover.
This round of BTC and gold linkage has clearly strengthened. Essentially, both share a similar trading logic behind them: market concerns about fiscal deficits, long-term inflation, and the decline in fiat currency purchasing power lead capital to seek scarce assets again. Gold is the traditional answer, while BTC increasingly resembles another choice in the digital age.
But the biggest short-term variable comes from the Federal Reserve.
After Waller released a hawkish signal, the market re-priced higher interest rate expectations. If the US dollar and US Treasury yields continue to strengthen, it will put pressure on gold and theoretically also be unfavorable for BTC. Therefore, the most valuable observation going forward is not how much BTC rises, but whether BTC can maintain relative strength when gold is under pressure.
If gold continues to adjust while BTC still holds key support or even breaks upward again, it indicates that there may be independent ETF funds and risk appetite supporting the crypto market internally; conversely, if BTC weakens again following gold, then the previous rise was more likely a resonance driven by macro liquidity.
High-level oscillation is not garbage time but a re-pricing of BTC's asset attributes.
The real question to answer in the next phase is: does the market continue to treat BTC as a high Beta risk asset, or does it start assigning it more "digital gold" pricing weight? This may determine the height of the subsequent market trend. Everyone is shouting that the bull market is back, but I'm thinking, are those who haven't sold really brave, or have they just not learned how to read the market yet? When that bearish candle dropped last night, what were you all panicking about? I'll give my conclusion first: this ETH drop is definitely not caused by ETF funds running away. Spot ETFs are still steadily seeing net inflows. The real trigger was the failed surge around 2534. The technical side lost momentum first, then the US-Iran situation heated up, oil prices surged, US Treasury yields stubbornly held high, and the market's bets on a September rate cut started to loosen. When risk capital pulls back, the chain of liquidations falls like dominoes, directly hitting 2386. Now back at 2430, in my view this is just a breather after overselling, not a reversal. The 2460 to 2490 range above has become a resistance zone, and the short-term selling structure is not yet complete. Don't rush to bottom-fish; at least wait for the structure to give a signal. Now about $BEAT, this one deserves even more attention. Its trading volume has shrunk faster than its price, down over 50%. What's more troublesome is that about 11.25 million tokens will unlock on September 1. Liquidity is already thin, and with supply hanging like a knife, if 0.12 doesn't hold, the selling pressure below could be denser than expected. At times like this, I don't talk about faith with it, I only talk about position management. Honestly, my own short position almost got stopped out yesterday, but I held on until the target zone. After taking profits, the first thing I did was not to add to the position, but to raise the stop loss. The meat is already at the mouth, so no Big news is here, everyone. September 1st is not just the day to go back to school, but also the time to close the monthly candle.
For an uptrend, usually after closing the monthly candle, BTC will surge and then pull back.
Moreover, according to historical statistics of the US stock market, early September tends to be strong with a high probability of a surge:
The reason is that after the US Labor Day holiday ends, traders return, market liquidity recovers, and some funds that had exited re-enter positions, pushing the US stock market to a short-term surge.
But in mid to late September, the probability of a surge followed by a pullback is even higher.
The reason is simple: in mid-September (usually around September 17-20), the Federal Reserve holds a major interest rate meeting, and the market often chooses to lock in profits and exit to avoid risk before the outcome is announced.
Also, at the end of the quarter (end of September), fund managers adjust their portfolios before earnings reports, tending to sell high-profit positions.
Since the US stock market has a high probability of surging and then pulling back, the risk of BTC crashing or sharply correcting is relatively low. It is more likely to follow the US stock market with initial volatility and a surge, breaking through the 820-830 resistance zone, possibly even surging to 840-860 and oscillating for a while before a big correction. I believe this scenario has a relatively high probability. DYOR $BTC Lately, many people have been asking whether Dogecoin has been forgotten by Musk. Watching it surge near 0.1U and then fall back, and seeing oneself buy in around 0.086 only to be deeply trapped, that feeling is indeed unpleasant. With a floating loss exceeding 260% displayed in the account, anyone would repeatedly weigh whether to cut losses. Actually, looking at the bigger picture, Bitcoin and other mainstream assets have performed well in this market cycle, but Dogecoin's weakness stands out conspicuously. Everyone has a simple expectation: as long as Musk mentions it on social media, even just posting an emoji, Dogecoin could instantly ignite. But the fact is, he has not only refrained from mentioning Dogecoin, he hasn't even mentioned the entire cryptocurrency sector, even though Tesla's balance sheet still holds Bitcoin. This deliberate avoidance indeed makes people wonder more. 🧐 Let's try to understand this from another angle. Musk's identity now is quite different from a few years ago; he is deeply involved in the U.S. government's efficiency reform efforts, and every move he makes is under the spotlight. At this point in time, publicly endorsing a crypto asset would not only bring regulatory troubles but could also embroil him in conflicts of interest. The days of casual posts and market celebrations are probably hard to replicate. Another detail worth noting is that Tesla holding Bitcoin is a fact, but this does not mean Musk will continuously endorse the entire crypto market. Corporate asset holdings and a founder's public endorsement are essentially two different things. His choice to remain silent may precisely indicate that he is deliberately maintaining a$BTC has never experienced a sustained one-sided strong trend in September-October of any midterm election year; the only difference is the magnitude of the pullback. When the market is mild, there is a slight correction of 3%-8%.
During fragile market and macro pressure phases, there can be deep, phased pullbacks exceeding 15%.
Many retail investors wonder: Why is it that in the midterm election years, market volatility systematically amplifies specifically in September and October?
Breaking down two fundamental core logics, all are macro principles agreed upon by institutions, with no subjective speculation:
First, the policy uncertainty premium of the midterm elections.
The U.S. midterm elections will rewrite the power structure of both houses of Congress, directly affecting subsequent fiscal policy, industrial policy, regulatory policy, and trade policy directions.
Before the results are finalized, the entire market is in a policy vacuum.
All major institutions and long-term funds will proactively reduce risk exposure, lower positions, and decrease aggressive bets.
Collective risk aversion by capital directly leads to a weakening of bullish momentum, making oscillations and pullbacks a phase norm.
Second, the widely recognized seasonal weakness effect of September in the U.S. stock market.
In the century-long seasonal statistics of the U.S. stock market, September is the month with the worst average returns and the highest probability of negative returns.
Behind this is a very fixed institutional behavior cycle:
During summer, institutions take vacations and trading is light, with many risks temporarily set aside; every September, institutions return en masse to start concentrated portfolio adjustments, quarterly rebalancing, and annual review rebalancing, while overlapping with the redemption windows of public and private funds.
The combined forces of concentrated selling pressure, portfolio adjustments and stock swaps, and risk repricing naturally suppress market trends.How much more do you want to say!
1. Trump says interest rates are too high
He wants the Federal Reserve to cut rates!
Cutting rates means more money in the market, more money for crypto speculation, which generally leads to price increases!
2. He also says he respects the Federal Reserve chair
Simply put, he won’t force them to cut rates immediately, avoiding making a scene and reducing the risk of major chaos.
3. He also talks about Iran and the oil in the Strait of Hormuz
Basically, throwing tough words at the Middle East!
If it’s just talk with no war → Bitcoin basically doesn’t react much
If it really escalates into war → oil prices rise, prices go up again, rate cuts become difficult, and Bitcoin tends to fall
This news is somewhat bullish for a rise, but it’s just a short-term hype, lively for a while but most likely will return to the original market...

August BTC Review and September Outlook — Strategic Thoughts Amidst Mixed Bull and Bear Forces
In August, the Bitcoin market experienced a rollercoaster of "rise first, then fall." At the beginning of the month, it hovered around $64,000; mid-month, driven by multiple positive factors, it once broke through $80,000, hitting a three-month high. However, by the end of the month, under macroeconomic pressure, it quickly fell back below $78,000. This fluctuation was essentially a pulse rebound driven by "macro expectations + short squeeze," rather than a trend reversal.
---
I. Three Major Drivers of August's Rise
1. Improved Regulatory Expectations (Strongest Catalyst)
On August 20, Trump urged Congress to pass the CLARITY Act to establish clear regulatory rules for crypto assets, prompting BTC to break above $70,000. The SEC simultaneously proposed exempting some digital asset issuances from securities registration requirements. This policy shift was the core support for this rally.
2. US Treasury Repo and Weakening Dollar (Macro Support)
US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen proposed expanding long-term Treasury repo operations, sparking market concerns about dollar depreciation and shifting funds toward alternative assets like Bitcoin. BTC once broke through $80,000, reaching a three-month high.
3. Continuous Inflows into ETFs (Real Money)
From August 17 to 28, the US spot Bitcoin ETF saw nine consecutive days of net inflows, totaling about $3.04 billion. Institutions like BlackRock became key buyers in this rebound.
---
II. Three Major Pressures Behind the End-of-Month Pullback
1. Fed Hawkish Signals (Biggest Negative Factor)
At the end of August, the Fed released hawkish signals, with the probability of a rate hike rising to 58%. BTC promptly plunged 5.7% from above $80,000 to $76,845. The shift in interest rate expectations directly suppressed risk asset valuations.
2. Temporary Reversal of ETF Flows
On August 28, the Bitcoin spot ETF recorded a net outflow of $201.9 million, ending the nine-day net inflow streak. Although the full week still saw a net inflow of about $924.5 million, the single-day outflow signal is worth caution.
3. Tariff Impact and Geopolitical Risks
Trump announced a 50% tariff on Canadian cars, raising concerns about an escalating trade war. Coupled with US military actions against Iran, geopolitical risks intensified risk-off sentiment.
---
III. September Trend Forecast
Short-term (1-2 weeks): Consolidation around $78,000
The late August pullback touched a low of $76,845, with technical oversold conditions needing repair. However, $78,670 is a resistance level from the May rally, making a breakout difficult. The short-term range is likely between $76,000 and $80,000, awaiting new directional catalysts.
Mid-term (September-October): Focus on Two Key Variables
· Fed September rate decision: If rate hike expectations continue to rise, BTC may retest $76,000 or lower; if expectations ease, it could challenge $80,000-$82,000 again.
· ETF fund flows: If institutional inflows resume steadily, BTC will have solid support; if outflows persist, rebound strength will be limited.
Extreme Scenario (Low Probability): 10x Research points out that if the macro environment continues to deteriorate, BTC may drop to around $55,000 before forming a cycle bottom.
---
IV. Strategic Thoughts
1. Follow the trend, don’t guess tops or bottoms: Trade near the edges of the $76,000-$80,000 range, avoid positions in the middle.
2. Closely watch macro catalysts: The Fed rate decision and ETF fund flows are the two most important indicators in September; control position size before direction is clear.
3. Strict stop-loss: Regardless of long or short, set hard stop-losses for each trade, limiting single-trade losses to within 5% of the account, using discipline to manage uncertainty.
---
The above is a personal review and strategic thought, not investment advice. The market carries risks; decisions should be made cautiously. $BTC $BTC THE ETF STORY IS ENTERING A NEW PHASE
Bitcoin's biggest test may no longer be attracting institutional attention.
It's proving that institutional demand can survive volatility.
After nine consecutive sessions of reported spot ETF inflows, the streak was interrupted by roughly $201.9M in outflows.
That number sounds bearish on the surface.
But I think the bigger picture deserves more attention.
A strong rally naturally creates profit-taking.
Investors who accumulated BTC at lower levels now have a reason to lock in gains. That selling isn't necessarily a rejection of Bitcoin's long-term value.
The important question is what happens after those sellers exit.
If fresh capital steps in and absorbs the supply, Bitcoin could be demonstrating something more meaningful than another short-term pump.
It could be showing that demand is expanding into a higher price range.
That's an important distinction.
A market becomes stronger when sellers can exit without completely destroying the structure.
It means there are buyers waiting underneath.
For $BTC, I'm watching the reaction around support more closely than the headline ETF number.
If Bitcoin holds its recent range, consolidates and gradually attracts fresh demand, the current weakness could simply be part of the market's normal price discovery process.
But if outflows continue while BTC keeps losing important support, that would tell a different story.
Then the market may need to reset expectations before another sustained move higher.
This is also why I don't think investors should treat ETF inflows as a simple buy signal.
Flows are one piece of the puzzle.
Price tells us how the market is responding to those flows.
Volume tells us how much participation is behind the move.
And liquidity tells us whether the market can absorb the pressure.
Put those together and the picture becomes much clearer.
Bitcoin doesn't need every institution to buy every day.
It needs the broader demand base to remain strong enough that profit-taking doesn't turn into a cascade.🚨 Trump has spoken: "We will hit them hard, there will definitely be a response."
Iran just launched missiles at the US base in Jordan, and Trump immediately clarified his stance on Fox News.
He said the US air defense system "let through a missile that wouldn’t hit any target," but intercepted all the others. But that’s not the main point. The key is the next sentence — "We will hit them hard."
A few hours ago, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard launched missiles and drones at the US base in Jordan. The cause was a US airstrike late on the 30th targeting Iran’s Larak Island, destroying two launch devices that were preparing to mine the Strait of Hormuz. Iran retaliated overnight, and now Trump added that "there will be a response." The cycle has already begun.
This is not just talk; it’s a real escalation of conflict. The AI video of Khark Island, the Larak Island airstrike, the missile attack on the Jordan base — the US-Iran tension is rapidly heating up. The Strait of Hormuz has been effectively blocked for nearly half a year, and if the conflict continues to escalate, there’s no short-term hope of reopening this global oil lifeline.
Brent crude oil has already climbed back above $90. Rising oil prices → increased inflation expectations → the Federal Reserve dares not ease → risk assets under pressure, this transmission chain still holds true for BTC.
The words "hit them hard" have already been said; now it’s about how it will be done. This game is far from over. 👇
Let’s discuss in the comments, how big do you think this wave of conflict will be? $BTC #BTC high-level oscillation, enhanced linkage with gold
BTC is currently maintaining a high-level oscillation, but what I believe is truly worth paying attention to now is not just whether it can break through $80,000, but the strengthening macro linkage between it and gold.
In the past, the market tended to define BTC as a high-volatility risk asset, while gold was considered a traditional safe-haven asset; the logic behind the two was not entirely consistent. However, as fiscal deficits, debt expansion, inflation, and monetary credit issues are repeatedly traded, a common pricing factor has begun to emerge behind BTC and gold: market concerns about fiat purchasing power and long-term fiscal discipline.
This is also why, even if the Federal Reserve's policy is hawkish in the short term, gold and BTC may still attract capital attention over a longer cycle. The difference is that gold has lower volatility and a more mature institutional allocation attribute; BTC has higher elasticity, so it tends to fall faster when liquidity tightens and rebound more fiercely when expectations improve.
Therefore, I would not simply interpret BTC's recent high-level oscillation as a bull fatigue. What really needs to be observed is: if gold continues to remain strong, and BTC can still hold key support under macro pressure, then their synchronous strengthening may not be just a coincidental correlation, but the market trading the same theme — a long-term re-pricing of the traditional monetary system.
But in the short term, BTC is still constrained by interest rates and liquidity. Gold can rise as a safe haven, but BTC may not always move in sync; this "same logic, different volatility" relationship is actually more worthy of continuous observation. $BTC The valuation framework of the crypto market is undergoing a fundamental transformation—from speculation on expectations to solid revenue validation.
Bitwise's Chief Investment Officer points out that, except for BTC, crypto assets will increasingly adopt the same metrics as stocks and bonds—revenue. Two major turning points are driving this shift. First, regulatory easing: the SEC lost the Ripple case, and with the appointment of a new chairman, token distributions of revenue to holders are no longer considered "illegal securities offerings." Second, on-chain protocol revenue data has become impressive enough. Hyperliquid uses 97% of its fees to repurchase and burn HYPE; in the past year, it generated $871 million in revenue, with a market cap of $13.46 billion, a valuation multiple of 15x. The Grayscale leaderboard is even more striking: PUMP generated $459 million in revenue, with a market cap of only $456 million, a valuation multiple close to 1x—many cash-flow-rich crypto assets have valuation multiples even in the single digits.
BTC is the exception; it has no cash flow and does not fit the price-to-earnings framework. It still follows the "digital gold" path, priced based on scarcity, decentralization, and macro narratives. Institutional target prices include Bernstein's $150,000 and Standard Chartered's range of $100,000 to $250,000.
In the future, protocols that can continuously generate revenue will be revalued, while purely narrative tokens face clearance. Revenue is becoming the hardest currency in the crypto world.

#BTC高位震荡，与黄金联动增强
#嘉信理财拟新增SOL、AVAX与LINK #就业数据密集公布，沃什政策立场受检验 Employment data is being released intensively, putting Walsh's hawkish stance to the test
Entering September, what the market really needs to focus on is no longer "what Walsh said," but whether the upcoming employment data will support his policy logic.
At Jackson Hole, Walsh clearly reinforced his anti-inflation stance, emphasizing that inflation remains above the 2% target. If underlying inflation does not fall quickly enough, the Federal Reserve still has room for further action. After his speech, market expectations for a rate hike in September clearly increased.
But the biggest variable this week is coming: the U.S. August nonfarm payrolls will be released on Friday. The BLS confirmed the data will be published on September 4, and the market currently expects an increase of only about 50,000 jobs.
This means the market is entering a very delicate phase: inflation demands the Fed maintain a hawkish stance, but if employment continues to deteriorate, the cost of further rate hikes will rise rapidly.
If nonfarm payrolls are significantly stronger than expected, Walsh's hawkish framework will be supported by the data, and expectations for a September rate hike may be further strengthened. U.S. Treasury yields and the dollar could both rise again, putting valuation pressure on BTC and tech stocks.
But if employment continues to weaken sharply, market trading logic may quickly reverse—not because inflation concerns disappear, but because the Fed's dual mandate begins to face real conflict.
So the most important thing to watch this week is not just a single nonfarm number, but: when employment and inflation start pointing in opposite directions, which will Walsh prioritize?
This may be the true core of market pricing in September.So that's it, it's Trump again. Whenever this old man makes a move, the market trembles. The US military strikes Iran, the Strait of Hormuz heats up, oil prices surge, and risk assets habitually take a knee first. But to be honest, $BTC's performance this time isn't bad at all.
From 78,000 down to 77,000, it recovered the full thousand points. In the past, such a level of geopolitical negative news would have sent it straight to 75,000. There is indeed support below; it's not as fragile as imagined. ETH is a bit worse off, failing to hold 2,500, and now even 2,400 is precarious. Looking back at last year's high of 5,000, it really feels like a different world. The ETF funds have been strong, but when the tide recedes, they show no mercy.
The real drama isn't tonight's conflict, but the upcoming crypto legislation. That is the key to whether funds will re-enter the market. Once there is substantial progress, the market turning bullish could be just one big green candle away.
The US stock market is also suffering; the three storage stocks just bounced and were pressed down again. But the logic behind AI storage hasn't changed: short-term valuation cuts, but the long-term supply-demand gap remains. In my view, this kind of pullback is just a reversal to pick up passengers; whether you catch them depends on your courage.
SPCX is quite resilient, holding steady at 141 like Mount Tai. The valuation is high, but good things are never cheap. I'll be watching closely around 155; my target for this stock is very clear—200.
In this market, there's no need to rush. Geopolitical conflicts are noise; legislative progress is the signal. Maintain your positions, keep enough ammo, and wait for the wind to come. 🛡️
#BTC高位震荡，与黄金联动增强 There has been a clear recent inflow of funds into US spot crypto ETFs, and the market structure is changing: 🟠 $BTC → about $872 million 🔵 $ETH → about $795 million 🟣 $SOL → about $167 million ⚫ $XRP → about $102 million Total inflows are close to $1.94 billion. This is not just a set of impressive numbers. What’s truly noteworthy is that funds are gradually spreading from a single Bitcoin allocation to major crypto assets like $ETH, $SOL, and $XRP. This indicates that some institutional investors’ risk appetite is recovering, and there is a more distinct selective rotation within the market. Meanwhile, many traders are still waiting for the so-called “altcoin season confirmation.” 👀 But funds usually don’t wait for everyone to confirm before they start moving. If $BTC remains relatively stable and ETF funds continue flowing into mainstream assets, the market may be preparing in advance for the next phase. 📊 Don’t just watch prices now. Focus on: 🏦 ETF net flows 💰 Where the funds are actually going 🔄 Rotation from BTC → ETH → mainstream altcoins 📈 $ETH/$BTC relative strength 💧 Overall market liquidity changes Don’t chase market noise; track where the money is really going. 👀🔥 #BTC #ETH #SOL #XRP #CryptoETF #Altcoins 20x short position floating profit +255.05% (entry 69.19 → mark 60.36).

Key data: On September 2 at 0:00 Beijing time, 27.958 million tokens unlocked, accounting for 4.0% of market cap, valued at about $14.8M. Historical backtesting is even harsher — average decline of -18.4% 14 days after 6 unlocks, worst -23.8% (June 2). Current price has retraced 23% from ATH $0.06514, with a single-day drop of -11.56% on August 25, and the trendline has broken.

Current $0.05 is the Dutch auction clearing price = psychological center; if broken, look to $0.045 (EMA20/30 overlap zone). $BTC $ETH #就业数据密集公布，沃什政策立场受检验 In August, the A-share market saw volume shrink as the main theme, dropping directly from 800 billion to 500 billion, with brokers moving and immediately crashing the market.
After all the speculation, only Huawei Chain and robots still have some popularity, but even they are inconsistent.
This kind of market reminds me of trading $AVAX, where a positive news would cause a 15% surge, only to fall back the next day.
As the old stock market saying goes, in a low-volume environment, all sudden rallies are just playing tricks, and the crypto world is no different.
Looking at $LINK, it has been weaving around $14 for nearly a month, unable to go up or down, just like our pharmaceutical sector in a bear market.
If you watch it, it stays still; if you don't, it suddenly plunges sharply, treating all kinds of discontent.
I've learned to be smart now: whether stocks or crypto, as long as the market volume doesn't increase, I firmly won't add positions.
The only exception is $BTC. I placed a small base position at 59,000; if it drops, I treat it as dollar-cost averaging, and if it rises, I don't get greedy.
In August, I made only two trades: one small profit and one break-even, outperforming friends around me who are constantly fussing.
Remember, when the market lacks money, patience is worth more than anything. Wait for that volume surge and the bullish candle before going heavy; it's not too late.$UB experiences a surge driven by community hype, with overall network attention rapidly climbing and market optimism spreading. However, reviewing the market data shows that during the rally, capital inflow only lasts for a short period before large holders begin concentrated selling, and trading volume quickly shifts from expansion to contraction. Each rebound peak gradually lowers, with a large amount of trapped positions accumulating above. The bulls no longer have the strength to continue pushing upward, and the balance between bulls and bears has shifted substantially.
Entry price was 0.13518, current price is 0.12017, short position has gained +222.07% unrealized profit. The rally driven by hype is emotion-driven and lacks long-term fundamental support. After the heat subsides, the previously accumulated selling pressure will be released. Such tokens should be viewed objectively regarding the false appearance of rallies brought by hype. $BTC $ETH #就业数据密集公布，沃什政策立场受检验 U.S. President Trump said we should have the lowest interest rates globally. What impact will this have on the Federal Reserve meeting in September?
The Federal Reserve has statutory independence, and interest rates are decided by collective voting of the 12 FOMC members. Trump has no authority to directly order rate cuts or hikes.
Historically, Trump has publicly called for lower rates multiple times, but the Fed still makes decisions based on inflation data and does not simply comply with political demands. Especially since Waller just sent a hawkish signal at Jackson Hole, needing to defend the central bank's independent image, if inflation remains sticky, the Fed will not easily shift to easing just because of the president's remarks.
Trump's statements are a secondary variable and can only create short-term pulses. The real determinants of whether $BTC can break through 80,000 remain the nonfarm payroll and PCE inflation data.
Don't treat the president's remarks as a confirmed signal for rate cuts; it's easy to get trapped by a short-term spike followed by a pullback.
In summary: verbal pressure cannot change the Fed's fundamental rules; the September decision depends on data, not White House statements. Such remarks only amplify market volatility and will not directly rewrite policy outcomes.

#BTC高位震荡，与黄金联动增强 Recently, there has been a voice in the market asking whether Dogecoin has been forgotten by Musk. Watching DOGE fall back from above 0.1U, some tried to buy around 0.086, only to get trapped with a floating loss exceeding 260%. This feeling is indeed agonizing, especially against the backdrop of other cryptocurrencies strengthening, making the contrast particularly stark.
An intriguing detail is that Musk has recently not mentioned cryptocurrency at all, even though Tesla still holds $BTC on its books. This deliberate silence may be more thought-provoking than any statement. Some expect him to shout out picks like before, but the reality is that the market narrative has long shifted—employment data, Walsh's policy stance, and AI return validation are now the focus of current capital.
Rather than obsessing over one person's attitude, it's better to examine $DOGE's own position. It lacks new catalysts, and the linkage effect is weakening. The high-level oscillation of $BTC and its strengthened correlation with gold indicate that risk-off sentiment still dominates. Whether to cut losses now depends on your position size and risk tolerance, but at least hope should not be pinned on external calls.
Risk warning: The market is highly volatile, please assess risks rationally. This article does not constitute investment advice. $DOGE $BTC$NEAR No vision, can't hold on, this wave of profit is as thin as paper, but I love it to death.
Just finished lunch and checked the market, NEAR surged fiercely, but the volume didn't keep up, heavy on the bull trap. The number of buyers stepping in above is decreasing wave by wave, I judged this as a fake move and went short directly. The prettier the rebound, the more cautious you should be that it's a trap.
Looking now, the short position entered at 1.866, 1.866 has already reached here, +288.02% in hand. This profit is thick enough, others are chasing longs, I'm waiting for a pullback, the timing is right.
Don't get carried away with trading, close 80% of the short position to lock in profits first, move the stop loss of the remaining 20% to the entry price. Let profits run, but first make sure to secure your gains. Don't fear earning less, fear giving back what you've earned.
Panic comes from lack of planning, losses come from overthinking. The premise of compounding is staying alive, the shortcut to getting rich often leads to zero. Don't be greedy for the last bite, now is not the time to chase. Wait for the next cycle structure to appear, the market is not short of opportunities.
$XRP $ZEC 50x short $ENA, floating profit 297.17%. Entry at 0.15883, marked at 0.14939. The high-yield stablecoin narrative cools down, and capital starts to calculate carefully.
Logically, Ethena generates USDe yield through hedging and derivatives basis; when market volatility and funding rates decline, the yield sources are compressed, staking attractiveness decreases, and token demand naturally weakens. The rebound at 0.15883 failed, structurally moving downward; shorting follows the trend rather than betting on direction.
The background involves risk budgeting from L2 and re-staking hotspots diversion, with ENA on-chain activity and token holding growth slowing. On the contract level, shorts dominate, and funding rates do not support longs. Down nearly 6%, holding to observe, no additions, no show. $BTC $ETH #就业数据密集公布，沃什政策立场受检验 Last week, MicroStrategy bought 4,600 BTC at an average price of 80,000, and now MicroStrategy holds 840,000 BTC at an average price of 75,400.
This explains two logics:
The first logic: many people crazily chased longs at 80,000, so shorting at 80,000 last week was reasonable.
The second logic: MicroStrategy's cost is 75,400, so bottom-fishing and going long in the 75,000-75,800 range at the beginning of September is reasonable.
Combined with Justin Sun's Twitter post hinting that $BTC will surge, and CZ Zhao Changpeng stating at the Hong Kong conference that Bitcoin reaching 1 million dollars won't take long.
My personal judgment is that a new bull market is about to arrive.

#BTC高位震荡，与黄金联动增强
$ETH $OKB The policy combination of Waugh and Bassett is now completely clear; whether it succeeds depends on how the market validates it going forward! Tonight, Bassett's speech at the G20 basically confirmed the formation of the Waugh + Bassett policy combination. Waugh leads the Federal Reserve in controlling inflation + Bassett leads the Treasury in complexly suppressing term premiums (long bond yields) + fiscal policy is responsible for controlling the fiscal deficit. In this combination, if the policies of Waugh and Bassett succeed, we can expect a scenario where 2-year short-term bond yields rise while 30-year yields fall, causing the bond market yield curve to flatten. #就业数据密集公布，沃什政策立场受检验 Furthermore, if the two coordinate perfectly and the market accepts their policy adjustments, there is a strong possibility of a special situation in the future where interest rates rise + long bond prices increase and yields decline, although I do not believe Waugh dares to raise rates or that long bonds will be successfully regulated. According to the current situation, long bond yields are not easily "tamed" by Bassett, and whether Waugh dares to raise rates given the current economic sensitivity is still uncertain. Additionally, there are several points to note in Bassett's speech tonight, especially since the overall speech is a "retort" to last week's criticism of Bassett's policies by his former boss and mentor. "I have no intention of waging a price war with the bond market" was a direct response to last week's criticism by Druckenmiller that "the rise in bond yields is a market warning about fiscal discipline, and the government's artificial suppression of yields is masking this price signal." Overall, Waugh's speech tonight has two purposes: to highlight policy coordination with Waugh, using short-term tightening to exchange for long-term inflation control The TRON chain carries over $90 billion in stablecoin settlements, yet $TRX spot liquidity continues to contract around $0.33, showing a clear disconnect between network load and token value.
The chain has processed over 15 billion transactions cumulatively, but the spot buying pressure in the secondary market has not resonated in sync, with prices slightly pulling back in the past week.
Liquidity flow among more than 400 million accounts mainly focuses on high-frequency stablecoin transfers; funds rapidly shuttle through the network without large-scale conversion into native holdings of underlying assets.
The transmission chain between high turnover in on-chain settlements and token value capture remains to be confirmed; the brief duration of funds weakens the efficiency of converting settlement volume into asset premiums.
If the network resource consumption caused by subsequent high-frequency transfers can continuously convert into real deflationary burns of spot tokens, the price is expected to break out of the $0.33 consolidation range, but this must be premised on simultaneous amplification of on-chain deposited funds.
If the prosperity of settlement channels fails to leverage deep liquidity deposits, spot buying momentum will further weaken, and prices may detach from the current platform and slide into lower liquidity ranges.
When high on-chain turnover fails to bring marginal growth in network fees, the infrastructure premium logic based on settlement scale will be directly falsified.
The most critical observation point in the next 7 days is whether the real on-chain fee consumption behind the circulation of over $90 billion in stablecoins can drive a net inflow of spot liquidity.
#闪迪铠侠拟投310亿美元，NAND供需重估 #美伊军事对抗升级，原油供应风险升温The current market is a tug-of-war between "fear of heights" and "missing out," not a one-sided bull market.
$BTC, although it has risen above $79,000 and saw over $3 billion net inflow into ETFs in August, experienced a single-day outflow of $200 million by the end of the month. Meanwhile, Bitcoin reserves on exchanges have surged to a new annual high, while stablecoin reserves have simultaneously contracted, indicating weak buying power.
The biggest pain point in the options market lies between 70,000 and 73,000, with major institutions not optimistic about sustaining above 80,000.
Core judgment: 80,000 is the emotional peak. This round of rally was driven by the U.S. Treasury's repurchase and balance sheet expansion, a short-term policy stimulus. New whales on-chain cashed out 1.2 billion in profits within three days, showing some localized overheating.
Key levels: $77,000 is the lifeline; a break below or a retest of 73k-74k is possible. $81,000 is the touchstone; only a breakout with volume can open up space.
Strategy: Do not chase highs. September historically performs weakly; it is recommended to wait for a pullback to 75k-76k and observe whether ETFs see renewed net inflows.
The mid-term outlook remains bullish, as loose liquidity and institutional allocation trends remain unchanged. However, short-term is likely to enter intense volatility, with the battle between bulls and bears possibly extending to the late September rate decision meeting. Stay patient. $ETH $BTC
#就业数据密集公布，沃什政策立场受检验 #BTC高位震荡，与黄金联动增强 #嘉信理财拟新增SOL、AVAX与LINK After Wash, the one-sided market may end: the real money in the next phase is in "rebalancing"
After Wash turned hawkish, the market has adopted a new logic: the probability of a rate hike in September has risen to about 60%, and the 10-year US Treasury yield hovers around 4.7%. High-valuation tech stocks and long-duration or highly volatile assets like BTC have started to recalculate their cost of capital.
What’s more concerning is that the US stock index remains high, but the rise increasingly depends on a few large tech stocks. Once AI trading cools down, the divergence between strong indexes and weak individual stocks may continue to widen.
In this environment, rather than heavily betting on one direction, it’s better to focus on asset allocation and rebalancing.
The classic "permanent portfolio" consists of 25% stocks, long-term bonds, gold, and cash each; if you are optimistic about BTC’s long-term scarcity, you can also treat it as a high-volatility satellite position rather than simply replacing gold.
The core is not to predict the top, but to establish discipline: reduce when prices rise too much, add when prices fall deeply, and always keep cash on hand.
In an era of high volatility, the greatest alpha sometimes isn’t guessing the right direction, but not letting any single mistake take you out. $BTC #就业数据密集公布，沃什政策立场受检验 #BTC高位震荡，与黄金联动增强 BTC is stuck between 77,000 and 80,000. The real steering wheel this week is not the candlestick chart, but U.S. employment.
Wash has already put "inflation priority" on the table, and after his speech, the probability of a rate hike in September rose to about 60%. But his hawkish logic has a premise: employment must continue to be resilient.
This week, JOLTS, ADP, initial jobless claims, and non-farm payrolls will be released consecutively, while the market's expectation for August non-farm payrolls is only about 45,000 to 55,000.
If employment is significantly stronger than expected, the probability of a rate hike may continue to rise, U.S. Treasury yields and the dollar will strengthen, and the resistance above 80,000 for BTC will further increase;
If non-farm payrolls disappoint again, Wash's "employment stability" logic will be challenged, current hawkish trades may quickly cool down, and BTC will have a real chance to reclaim 80,000.
So the repeated tug-of-war between 77,000 and 80,000 now is not surprising.
Breakouts before the data release should be discounted. The real big move depends on employment data: whether the 60% rate hike probability continues to push toward 70% or falls back down. $BTC #就业数据密集公布，沃什政策立场受检验 This morning's sharp drop looks like just a bearish candle on the chart, but the liquidation scale behind it is far more shocking than the candlestick suggests. In the past 24 hours, the total liquidation amount across the network was about $346 million, with long positions accounting for $248 million. In the most concentrated hour, about $180 million was liquidated, with many positions almost instantly wiped out, leaving no time to react. This level of forced liquidation is often not just a simple technical breakdown but more like a targeted purge of leveraged funds. Looking at the price trajectory, $BTC slid from around $79,100 in the early morning to about $77,500, while $ETH retraced from $2,525 down to around $2,417. Notably, ETH's decline was significantly faster, indicating that high leverage and momentum-chasing funds were mainly concentrated on Ethereum during that period. Once the market turned, Ethereum naturally bore greater liquidation pressure. At this point, I am less inclined to continue shorting. Just below BTC is the previous low at $76,800, and ETH is approaching the psychological level of $2,400. The recent wave of liquidations has already released a considerable amount of short-term selling pressure. Opening new short positions now is uncomfortable in terms of entry point. As long as the market shows some support, shorts can easily be squeezed out by a rebound, making the risk-reward ratio unfavorable. I prefer to observe market sentiment at the upcoming key price levels. If BTC breaks below $76,800 and fails to reclaim that level after a rebound, then I would consider following the trend; otherwise, if the price can recover above $78,500,Why does the price not rise despite large inflows into ETFs?
1. ETF buying is only part of the market
ETFs only represent institutional funds during U.S. stock market hours, while Bitcoin trades globally 24/7. Large OTC holders taking profits, selling pressure from derivatives markets, and macro news can completely offset the buying power of ETFs. The hawkish speech at Jackson Hole directly suppressed the price's upward potential.
2. Some inflows are arbitrage funds, not bullish bets
Many funds buy ETFs while shorting in the futures market to hedge and earn the basis between spot and futures. The fund accounts show net inflows, but they are not truly bullish on the price, so the impact on the market is limited. #现货ETF资金分化，BTC卖压仍在 The A-share market in September is the same as usual, with the Shanghai Composite hovering around 3100, and the trading volume just won't pick up.
Sector rotation is as fast as a fan, today it's photovoltaics, tomorrow semiconductors, and the day after it switches back to consumer goods.
I bought some brokerage stocks at the end of August, but after ten days of grinding, I only made enough to cover fees, so I decisively left.
This reminds me of my experience with $BNB, which dropped from 580 to 520 in just three days, but the rebound took two weeks to materialize.
People in the crypto circle always say "the longer the base, the higher the breakout," but the A-share market taught me the opposite—when the sideways trading lasts too long, it's often not a buildup, but that no one is playing anymore.
In the past month, $ETH has been weaving around 3000; every dip attracts bottom-fishers, but every rally gets smashed back, just like our STAR 50 index.
There's a term in the stock market called "liquidity discount"—when volume shrinks, no technical indicators work well, and the crypto market is the same.
My current strategy is simple: only follow the big trend of $BTC, avoid other small coins, just like only trading ETFs in the A-share market to keep it simple.
Let's get through September first, don't try to bottom-fish.
Veteran stock traders know—only by staying alive do you have the right to talk about a bull market. #BTC high-level volatility, stronger linkage with gold
The US and Iran are exchanging fire again, and this time our pockets are also hit—gold and Bitcoin are both dropping together, and their recent correlation is much tighter than before.
The conflict is right near the Strait of Hormuz, and crude oil responded immediately, with Brent touching above 90 and WTI breaking 85. This reaction is not surprising; when the shipping route tightens, oil prices move first.
But gold didn’t follow the usual "buy gold in chaotic times" script. Previously, gold surged from 3900 to 4700, and Bitcoin from 60,000 to 81,000; this short-term amplitude was already fierce. Now, with the US-Iran conflict plus a resurgence of hawkish Fed rate hike expectations, the market first priced in the chain "oil price rise → sticky inflation → Fed tightening." Real interest rate expectations pushed up, so gold and Bitcoin, as "depreciation hedges" without cash flow, were both sold off together.
To put it simply: the simultaneous rise of gold and BTC is driven by the same money flow—"distrust in US dollar credit, hiding in scarce assets." So after rising together, when macro turns (rate hike probability jumps above 60%), they tend to fall together as well. The 90-day correlation is at a pandemic-era high for this reason.
It’s normal to have a correction after a big rise. At gold 4700 and BTC 81000 levels, profit-taking combined with geopolitical-triggered stop losses caused the pullback, which is not a trend reversal. But don’t interpret this correction purely as "war-driven safe haven"—if it were purely safe haven, gold shouldn’t fall; what’s happening now is a combo punch of "geopolitics pushing oil prices up → rate hike pricing → pressure on zero-yield assets," the same logic as the gold drop during the US-Iran attacks in July.
Going forward, watch three points:
• Whether navigation through the Strait of Hormuz is substantially interrupted (decides if crude oil surges to 95 or falls back to 85)
• Whether September’s nonfarm payrolls + CPI can push down the hawkish rate hike pricing (if not, gold and BTC will keep grinding)
• Whether gold 4400 / BTC 77000, previous dense trading zones, will hold sideways to rebalance or break down directly
Just sharing market thoughts, not a trade call. Digital assets and commodities are volatile; don’t treat geopolitical news as a trade signal, manage your position size carefully.
$BTC $CL $XAU At the end of August, there was a wave of unusual activity among brokers; the index barely moved, but small-cap stocks bounced around happily every day. Trading volume shrank from 500 billion to 400 billion, clearly returning to the old script of players just taking from each other's pockets.
This kind of market is the most exhausting. Chasing hot spots gets you crushed the next day, while staying still results in daily slow declines. It's completely the opposite of last year's AI hype.
Looking at $ETH over the past month, it stubbornly climbed from 2800 to 3200, with five false breakouts in between. Every time it seemed ready to accelerate, a sharp reversal brought it back to square one.
It’s just like those manipulated stocks in the A-share market, with chart lines drawn more perfectly than textbooks, but once you get in, they immediately turn against you.
After spending time in the stock market, you learn one truth: in a low-volume environment, all seemingly perfect breakouts are probably traps.
$SOL, on the other hand, is quite volatile. Whenever there’s a rumor, it can jump by over ten points, but it always opens lower the next day, just like the leading stock tactics used by our speculative traders.
Now I’ve learned to be cautious. I’d rather miss out than hold heavy positions during low-volume periods. Whether stocks or crypto, liquidity is the real parent.
In August, I only made two moves in my account: one stop loss and one small profit, outperforming my friends who trade every day.
Remember, when the market has no money, the harder you work, the more decisively you lose. Whether it’s $BTC or A-shares, only surviving until the day volume picks up makes you a true winner.Sun Yuchen's Twitter post hints that $BTC will surge, considering his previous predictions, what do you think?
This hint at a BTC surge has two layers of real meaning:
1) Sentiment-driven, not fundamental-driven
His tweet can only influence retail investor sentiment, causing a short-term spike; the real factors determining whether BTC can break above 80000 remain the Fed's nonfarm payroll data, ETF capital inflows, and the real US dollar interest rate. Personal statements cannot change macro constraints. Currently, the market is in a wide range of fluctuations before the nonfarm data, with large funds still watching; relying solely on public opinion makes sustained one-sided rallies difficult.
2) Objective background from an interest perspective
He is deeply involved in the crypto industry, with public chains and related crypto assets under his umbrella. His natural stance is bullish on the entire crypto market. Publicly bullish statements are expressions of position and do not necessarily represent his real-time spot holdings. A common phenomenon in the circle: public opinions and actual positions may not be fully synchronized.
How to treat this message in practical trading:
• Do not take the tweet as an entry signal: even if the news triggers a short-term rally, in a zero-sum game environment, spikes often end with upper shadows and pullbacks.
• Distinguish primary from secondary: Sun Yuchen's remarks are secondary variables; nonfarm data and ETF funds are the core variables.
• Historical pattern: after his statements, the market often experiences short-term emotional spikes. Whether the gains hold depends on subsequent trading volume and spot capital follow-through. If only retail investors chase, the trend's sustainability is poor.
Summary
Sun Yuchen's long-term vision in the sector has merits, but there have been many short-term price prediction failures. His social media statements have strong marketing attributes.
This hint at a BTC surge can be used as a market sentiment indicator reference but should not be the basis for judging BTC breaking 80000. The final market direction is still determined by macro data, not individual tweets.

#就业数据密集公布，沃什政策立场受检验
#BTC高位震荡，与黄金联动增强 #Employment data released intensively, Wash's policy stance under scrutiny
Wash's latest speech reversed market rate cut expectations, with a hawkish tone rapidly increasing the probability of a rate hike, intensifying expectations of tighter liquidity.
Market signals warrant caution: The S&P 500 keeps hitting new highs, but market breadth continues to deteriorate. The index's rise relies on a few heavyweight stocks driving it, a divergence pattern rarely seen in the past thirty years. The previously hot AI hardware sector is experiencing severe volatility, with many chasing high funds seeing significant profit retracement. The one-sided trend is gradually ending; diversified allocation and balanced positioning have become the mainstream approach.
Many traders are refocusing on the permanent portfolio strategy: balanced allocation across four asset classes, automatically achieving buy high and sell low through periodic rebalancing. However, the classic version needs adjustment for the current macro environment: in a hawkish cycle, the hedging effect of long bonds weakens, so it is recommended to replace them with short bonds to control overall duration risk. If you want to allocate crypto assets, be sure to control position size and avoid full allocation.
Adjustments based on different risk preferences:
✅ US stocks holdings: reduce high-volatility hardware stocks, focus on financials, consumer staples, and software assets
✅ Fixed income assets: prioritize short-term US Treasuries, temporarily hold off on long bonds
✅ Gold: medium- to long-term logic remains unchanged, short-term pressure, wait for the rate decision meeting to finalize positioning
✅ Portfolio optimization: 30% stocks, 30% short bonds, 25% gold, 15% crypto assets
Pay close attention to September non-farm payrolls, CPI data, and the September Federal Reserve rate decision meeting. If the market experiences a broad pullback, consider moderately increasing cash reserves.

$BTC The market has been quite twisted these days.
$BTC and $ETH have been oscillating back and forth between 77,000-79,000 and 2,400-2,500 respectively, unable to drop or rise significantly. But the ETF fund data is actually decent; BTC inflows have exceeded 900 million, ETH is close to 800 million, and $SOL and XRP are also continuously attracting capital.
The money hasn't left the market; it's just being redistributed. My judgment still leans bullish, but I won't rush into the market at this position—I'll wait for a decent pullback confirmation before making a move, which is much safer than chasing now. Today, U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen was interviewed by reporters. Yellen stated: According to convention, interest rates should not be raised in response to supply shocks. This has given Bitcoin a huge boost of confidence. Coupled with the continuous rise of the 30-year U.S. Treasury bond, market fears over U.S. dollar debt have led some funds to choose to allocate to Bitcoin. However, it should be noted that if the 30-year U.S. Treasury yield breaks through 5.5%, the safe-haven logic will completely collapse, and only gold can serve as a safe haven. As expected, U.S. stocks are under pressure, and Bitcoin has surged significantly. Attention should be paid to whether Japan announces policies to boost the yen's appreciation, as this relates to the rise and fall of U.S. Treasury bonds. BTC just lifted market sentiment, but macro news poured cold water on it.
In August, BTC rebounded all the way from the $60,000 range, reaching a high near $81,300, with a monthly increase exceeding 20% at one point. But by the end of the month, the market environment suddenly changed.
After tensions between the US and Iran escalated, international oil prices rose rapidly, with Brent crude oil surging nearly 6% at one point. Meanwhile, the market began to reprice the Federal Reserve's September interest rate policy, with expectations of rate cuts cooling down and concerns about rate hikes heating up again.
This is why BTC did not continue to rise after reaching near $81,300, but instead fell back to around $78,000.
What is most worth observing in this market phase is not how much BTC rises or falls in a day, but whether macro pressures will continue to expand.
If oil prices continue to rise, inflationary pressures may resurface, limiting the Federal Reserve's policy space; if geopolitical tensions ease and oil prices fall, market concerns about interest rates may also cool down accordingly.
So BTC is now facing more than just candlestick chart issues.
On one side is the need to digest the gains from the previous rapid rise, and on the other side are external pressures from oil prices, inflation, and Federal Reserve policies.
The August market phase has ended; what is truly worth watching is September.
If BTC can hold steady around $78,000 and then challenge $80,000 again, market sentiment may improve; if it continues to weaken, the space left by the previous rise will need to be reassessed. At 3 a.m., I was staring at the K-line, suddenly feeling like the market is a cat whose tail has been stepped on but still pretends nothing happened. Why is it that every time geopolitical tensions rise, retail investors panic and liquidate, yet the derivatives market quietly changes its face? Let's get back to last night's drama. The US military airstruck Iranian targets, Iran retaliated, and even the oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz trembled three times. Bitcoin slid from 78,000 to around 77,000, then bounced back like a spring. This level of negative news only caused a 1,000-dollar dip, indicating that the hands catching the fall are steadier than expected—not just a bluff, but real capital quietly absorbing. The key point is not Bitcoin itself, but the derivatives structure. I checked the contract data; during this drop, the funding rate for perpetual contracts did not show extreme negative values, and the option skew was only mildly bearish, without the tearing feeling of panic selling. What does this mean? Professional money is waiting for a clearer signal, not being led by the news. ETH is a bit worse off, with 2,400 on shaky ground. Thinking back to when it surged to 5,000 last year, it really felt like a dream. The ETF money was so fierce then, now it’s just as cold. But from another perspective, if even this geopolitical bomb can’t break through 2,400, then the support below is actually more convincingly validated. The storage trio Hynix, SanDisk, and Micron rose first then crashed, which looks scary, but the supply and demand logic for AI storage hasn’t changed; what changed is that short-term valuations were suppressed by interest rate expectations. This kind of correction feels more like a gift to those who haven’tWaking up early, the smoke from the Strait of Hormuz has directly impacted the accounts. BTC fell below 78,000, ETH lost 2,400, panic and stop-loss orders intertwined into a typical risk asset retreat scenario. US military actions and Iranian counterattacks pushed oil prices up to $90, reigniting inflation expectations, and market bets on a September rate hike suddenly surged to 57%. The logic chain is simple and brutal: rising oil prices → increasing rate hike expectations → interest-free assets sold off, with the crypto market taking the hardest hit. 📉 BTC currently at 77,399, down 1.7% in one hour, long positions liquidated at 53.91 million, shorts at 32.92 million, long-short liquidation ratio 1.6, indicating that previously optimistic high-leverage players have been harshly taught by the market. ETH’s situation is even tougher, at 2,398, down 2.76%, long liquidations reaching 73.34 million, with the largest single liquidation at $6.12 million, showing the intensity of speculative sentiment. Now is not the time to guess the bottom, nor rush to catch the falling knife. The key observation level is around 77,000; holding this may indicate a shakeout, but if broken, the old support at 72,000 will once again become the focus of long-short battles. The market is like a cold-blooded beast; high-leverage players are often the first to be devoured. Watch quietly and wait until the bloodshed ends before making judgments; this might be a more composed approach. ⚠️ Risk warning: Geopolitical conflicts and macro policy uncertainties are high, market volatility is intense, please control leverage rationally and manage risks well. $BTC $ETH#财报观察员: Broadcom and Dell take the stage, AI returns face scrutiny again AI faith is about to be questioned again! Broadcom's AI revenue doubled last quarter to $10.8 billion, with guidance this quarter aiming for $16 billion; Dell is even more aggressive, with AI server revenue soaring 757% year-over-year to $16.1 billion, and full-year AI revenue guidance raised from $50 billion to $60 billion. Wall Street now expects Broadcom's revenue to grow 83% this quarter to $29.2 billion, and Dell's AI server orders are already booked through next year. But—don't forget Broadcom's stock dropped 13% after the last earnings report! The reason wasn't poor performance, but the market thought its guidance wasn't aggressive enough. This is the current curse of AI stocks: exceeding expectations is expected, but if you don't double expectations, it's a crash.
This time Broadcom and Dell are both on stage; if both deliver results that make the market scream, the AI narrative can surge again; but if either falls short, the entire Nasdaq will cough, and BTC will be dragged down too. More importantly, the market is starting to question when massive AI capital expenditures will translate into real profits, and this earnings report is the touchstone. How long do you think the AI bubble can last? I remain neutral, but short-term volatility is inevitable, so set your stop-loss orders in advance. $ETH $BTC
