After nearly ten weeks of silence, Strategy reappeared in the Bitcoin market, purchasing 4,603 BTC from August 24 to 30, with a total expenditure of approximately $369.7 million, averaging a cost of $80,318 per coin.📊
The highlight of this return is not the purchase itself, but the financing logic behind it. When MSTR's stock price has a significant premium relative to its net asset value, issuing more shares can efficiently raise funds for accumulating coins; once the premium narrows, the cost-effectiveness of this financing route naturally declines. In other words, the valuation window provided by the market directly determines the pace at which this company increases its holdings.
This large-scale replenishment not only expresses an attitude toward the current price range but also indirectly reflects that its equity financing channel is still available. However, this "stock-for-coin" model heavily depends on market sentiment and liquidity conditions; if the stock price premium continues to compress, the intensity of subsequent accumulation may slow down accordingly.
For ordinary investors, rather than chasing the buying pace of a single institution, it is better to pay attention to the potential impact of this model on the market's supply and demand structure. After all, when a company's balance sheet is deeply tied to the coin price, every operation it makes can amplify short-term volatility.⚠️
Risk warning: The market carries risks, and investment requires caution. $BTC price fluctuations are significant, and past actions do not represent future returns.$ADA This trend doesn't even require me to think; the account is dancing on its own. While everyone else is still watching, I already felt something was off—the resistance above is too obvious, and every rebound just falls short, with a severe volume-price divergence. After grinding for so long without a breakthrough, it can only go down.
The judgment is spot on. ADA dropped from 0.2198 to 0.1954, a +557.32% gain in hand; this profit tastes really good. Those who got in should be waking up smiling; the earlier hesitation was real, but the move out is truly strong.
Take profit on 70% first, don't be greedy for the last bit. Move the stop loss on the remaining 30% to the cost price and let the profit run. Being out of position is not a sin; opening positions recklessly is the mistake. The premise of compounding is survival—don't let unrealized gains turn into illusions.
At this position now, don't rush; wait for a new structure to emerge before deciding. I'll watch for the next signal and act immediately when it appears.
$ETH $LAB 1. K-line Trend: From "Strongest August" to Sharp Decline at High Levels
$BTC is reported at $77,337.9, with a daily drop of 0.69% and a 24-hour range of $2,800 (76,385—79,185.7). $ETH is at $2,418.34, down 1.21%, breaking below the 2,400 mark simultaneously.
The key lies in the high-level reversal after the "Strongest August": Bitcoin rose about 24% in August, marking the best monthly performance of the year, with prices once surging to $81,500. However, after entering September, the market sharply reversed—on Monday this week, BTC closed near $78,500—78,900, then continuously dropped, falling below $77,000 at the time of writing.
From technical indicators (data in the chart):
· EMA20 (77,391) and EMA50 (77,706) formed a death cross resistance, with MA200 (78,235) creating strong resistance above
· The narrow range of resistance at 78,072 / support at 76,944 has been broken, and the price is testing the 24-hour low of 76,385
· ETH is similar, with EMA20 (2,422) and EMA50 (2,436) also forming a bearish alignment
This is not an ordinary pullback but a complete three-stage market: "violent rise → high-level stagnation → geopolitical shock triggering sharp drop."

2. Capital Inflow: Continuous ETF Inflows vs. Leveraged Longs Suffering Heavy Liquidations
On the long side: In the past week, Bitcoin spot ETFs saw net inflows of about $924 million, Ethereum spot ETFs about $824 million, totaling $1.74 billion. Ethereum ETFs have maintained net inflows for 11–13 consecutive trading days. On September 1 alone, Bitcoin ETFs received about $217 million inflow (mainly contributed by BlackRock), and Ethereum ETFs had a single-day inflow of $87.7 million.
However, the continuous ETF buying failed to offset the brutal liquidations in the leveraged market. In the past 24 hours, the crypto market saw total liquidations of about $239 million, with longs accounting for 82.88% (about $198 million). Bitcoin liquidations were about $99.67 million (longs 86%), Ethereum liquidations about $71.63 million (longs 82%). Approximately $60 million in long positions were liquidated in just the past hour.
The core contradiction in capital flows: institutions are accumulating through ETFs ("bottom fishing"), but high-leverage longs are being systematically wiped out amid the sharp price drop. This is not capital exiting but a violent restructuring of positions—the leveraged longs are forced out, and chips shift to more patient holders.
---
3. Market Cap: From "Vaporization" to Structural Change
In late August, the total cryptocurrency market cap surged from $2.21 trillion to $2.64 trillion in just 7 days, with daily trading volume soaring from $40 billion to $162 billion. This rally was mainly driven by existing funds leveraging up rather than large-scale new capital inflows—stablecoin market cap showed almost no expansion.
This recent decline caused tens of billions of dollars in market cap to evaporate. But looking at the market cap structure, Bitcoin accounts for about 38.4%, Ethereum about $291.4 billion, and the dominance of these two leaders remains unchanged. The real change is that the previously leverage-built "bloated" market cap is being squeezed, and the market is returning from a "high-leverage bubble" to a healthier structure.
---
4. Recent Events: Three Major Negative Factors Resonating
1. Geopolitical Shock (the most direct trigger)
Former President Trump confirmed a new round of airstrikes by the U.S. on targets near Iran's Strait of Hormuz and warned of a larger response if Iran retaliates. Previously, Iran launched missiles at U.S. bases in Jordan as retaliation. The market quickly entered risk-off mode, with cryptocurrencies as high-risk assets hit first.
2. Oil Price Surge and Worsening Inflation Expectations
Brent crude broke above $90 per barrel, once approaching $94. The Strait of Hormuz handles about 20% of global oil transport, and supply disruption concerns directly pushed inflation expectations higher.
3. Rising Rate Hike Expectations (macro backdrop)
Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh hinted at the Jackson Hole meeting that if inflation does not fall back to the 2% target, further rate hikes are possible. The market-implied probability of a September rate hike has risen to 56.9%—65.4%. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield climbed to 4.75%, the highest since January 2025. Yieldless crypto assets naturally face pressure in a rising interest rate environment.
These three factors form a vicious cycle: geopolitical conflict → oil price rise → inflation expectations increase → higher rate hike probability → broad risk asset pressure → cryptocurrencies leading the decline.
---
Summary
The current declines in Bitcoin and Ethereum essentially reflect the concentrated release of "profits accumulated from the strongest August + fragile high-leverage longs + geopolitical black swan." Continuous ETF inflows indicate institutions are still positioning during the downturn, but short-term macro uncertainty and geopolitical risks dominate price movements. The price levels of 77,337 and 2,418 in the chart are at the frontline of critical support battles—holding these levels could mean a "bullish consolidation," while breaking them may open a larger downside.

#BTC高位震荡，与黄金联动增强 In the afternoon, I took a look at the 4-hour K-line structure of $ZORA. The short position was opened at 0.009824 and is now at 0.007866, with a 10x leverage floating profit of 199.30%. This profit margin is already very considerable.
But the more significant the profit, the more you must not let greed take over. The market has now reached a short-term support area, where bulls and bears will contest, so adjustments in operation are necessary.
For those who followed: Step one, take profit on half of the position to secure real cash in your pocket; step two, move the stop-loss price of the remaining position to the opening price of 0.009824, ensuring that even if the rest is stopped out, you break even.
For those who didn't follow, don't rush to open a short position impulsively at this level. Wait for the structure to clear and for the next signal. No need to hurry. $BTC $ETH $BTC $ETH show wide fluctuations at high levels. Combined candlestick analysis as follows
Complete analysis of BTC and ETH 15-minute candlesticks combined with market and macro events
Current price: BTC 77337.9, ETH 2418.34
Key parameters
BTC: resistance 78072, support 76944; intraday low 76385
ETH: resistance 2434.79, support 2402.19; intraday low 2382.19
1. Current candlestick market interpretation
1. Pattern: High points continuously moving lower, short-term clear bearish trend
The two charts clearly show: price has formed a stepwise decline, rebound highs are lower each time, all moving averages have turned downward, price continues to trade below EMA20 and EMA50.
A rapid downward spike occurred overnight, BTC hit 76385, ETH pierced 2382, followed by a small rebound from bottom-fishing buyers, but the rebound strength was very weak, representing a weak recovery after a decline, not a reversal signal.
ETH’s high beta characteristic is fully reflected: retracement and volatility are greater than BTC throughout, with stronger elasticity during the decline phase.
2. Volume, price, and capital behavior
• Volume expands during decline, shrinks on rebound: selling pressure shows increased volume, rebound has almost no incremental buying, indicating bears dominate the market, bottom-fishing is short-term capital game, large funds have not entered to aggressively buy.
• Contract leverage stop-loss cascades contributed significantly to this decline: breaking key support triggered mass long liquidations, further breaking down price levels; on-chain data shows no large whale deposits to exchanges, spot market shows no panic collective exit, more passive deleveraging by quant and contract funds.
• BTC relatively resilient: benefiting from ETF spot base; ETH suffers dual pressure from macro and capital, heavier selling pressure.
2. Recent events driving this weakness
1. Fed hawkish expectations continue to rise (core reason)
After the Jackson Hole speech by Waller, subsequent Fed officials released more hawkish remarks, market sharply raised September rate hike expectations, US Treasury yields surged, dollar strengthened. Interest-free assets collectively pressured, gold fell sharply, crypto market passively corrected driven by macro environment.
Market priced in "strong nonfarm payroll data, possible September hike" early, institutions and quant funds proactively reduced risk asset exposure.
2. Collective risk appetite contraction in major assets
Last night gold accelerated decline, US tech and memory sectors rose then fell, global risk budgets contracted, funds flowed back to dollar and Treasuries, BTC, ETH, and Nasdaq highly correlated, sold off simultaneously. Middle East tensions pushed oil prices up, market interpreted as persistent inflation, further strengthening rate hike concerns, geopolitical safe-haven funds did not flow into crypto.
3. Technical chip loosening
Multiple prior attempts to break BTC 80000 and ETH 2500 resistance failed, large trapped positions accumulated above. After repeated failed breakouts, bull confidence collapsed, short-term funds chose to take profits and exit, once support is broken, chain reaction decline begins.
3. Market cap and capital structure status
1. Stablecoin total market cap remains high without large shrinkage, indicating internal market funds remain, but funds choose to observe and hedge, not fully exit crypto.
2. BTC-ETF still has intermittent inflows but scale sharply shrinks, institutions no longer add positions at highs, only passive buying to support during deep dips, no active rally.
3. Sector differentiation obvious: funds withdraw from altcoins and high-risk tokens, move to BTC for hedging; ETH decline greater than BTC, altcoins generally catch down, market risk appetite significantly reduced.
4. Scenario simulation, key price levels
BTC
① Downside: effective break below 76944 support with candlestick close below will retest 76385 low; if 76385 is broken with close, next important support is 74000-75000 range.
② Rebound scenario: to reverse short-term weakness, volume must increase and price must reclaim 78072 resistance; current market conditions suggest low probability of direct rebound above.
ETH (more volatile)
① Downside: break below 2402 support will retest 2382 low; if close breaks 2382, further correction space opens targeting 2320-2350.
② Rebound: must hold above 2434 resistance to ease downtrend, currently buying power insufficient.
5. Core summary
1. Currently dominated by macro rate hike expectations pressure test, 15-minute level shows clear bearish pattern but large-scale bull-to-bear reversal not confirmed; much of decline due to contract leverage stop-loss cascades, spot long-term funds have not collectively fled.
2. Small rebound after overnight dip is technical oversold repair, not a reversal, weak rebound likely leads to further decline.
3. Next decisive variable is nonfarm payroll data:
• If nonfarm exceeds expectations strongly, rate hike expectations rise further, BTC and ETH will continue to be pressured, lows will be refreshed;
• If nonfarm is significantly weak, rate hike expectations cool, this round of decline may be repaired and recovered.

#BTC高位震荡，与黄金联动增强 No vision, can't hold on, this wave of profit is as thin as paper, but I love it to death. The last glance before sleep last night, $EDEN was still stuck at 0.07423 refusing to drop, I thought this rebound was weak, with obvious resistance above, every surge was just short of breath.
Woke up this morning and saw it directly dropped to 0.05915, +203.15% in hand, the wait was worth it. 😏 The timing of this wave was spot on, I slept soundly, holding a short position feels comfortable.
The logic of this wave is actually very simple: weak rebound, heavy bull trap flavor, open short positions clearly. Volume didn't follow, going up is just giving money to the bears.
Don't lose patience in the consolidation, then try to regain dignity in a one-sided move. The money earned is the realization of your understanding; the money lost is the flaw in your understanding. The market is waited out, profits are held out.
Position handling: first close 80%, move the remaining 20% protective position to cost price. If it continues to fall, let the profit run; on the rebound, don't give the profit back. Take profits when you should, don't be greedy for the last bit.
For friends who haven't gotten on board yet, listen to me, now is not the time to chase. Wait for the next shot, I will notify immediately.
$LAB $DOGE $LIT USDT, 50x long, entered at 3.4925, marked at 3.662, floating profit 242.66%. Fundamentally, LIT is the token of Lighter (zkRollup perpetual DEX), with 100% of protocol revenue used for buyback and burn, about 15.5 million tokens already burned; it has also integrated Robinhood Chain perpetual, Telegram Wallet, plus CFTC compliance narrative and Upbit KRW pairing. In the Perp DEX sector, "US compliance + zk verifiability" is the core selling point. The chart shows a double-peak oscillation with a late-stage pullback, indicating resistance/profit-taking near 3.7, and short-term momentum cooling down.
But risks are real: Cumberland-related addresses recently transferred about 2 million LIT to CEX, triggering sell pressure concerns; more critically, from 2026/12/27, team and investor tokens will start linear unlocking, releasing 500 million tokens over three years, expanding circulation from about 250 million. Without considering faith under 50x, move stop loss close to cost/3.55, wait to hold above 3.7 before reassessing, protect if it breaks below 3.5. $BTC $ETH #就业数据密集公布，沃什政策立场受检验 🔥$XRP rose 40%, but open interest in futures contracts actually shrank by 16%—the price is going up, but the total bets are going down, which is somewhat unusual.
In the past two weeks, XRP climbed from $0.99 to $1.38, but total open interest dropped from 2.77 billion to 2.34 billion tokens. The money hasn't disappeared; it just moved—CME's XRP futures positions rose counter-trend by 36%, from 284 million to 387 million, increasing their market share from 10% to 17%.
This means retail and speculative funds are retreating, while institutions are entering. CME is a US-regulated platform, preferred or required by institutions to use this channel. CFTC position data also confirms this divergence—leveraged funds hold a net short of 116 million tokens, doubling from the previous week; dealers and asset management institutions increased their net longs by about 60 million and 28 million tokens respectively. These two forces are hedging against each other within CME.
This position shift occurred on the eve of the procedural Senate vote on the CLARITY Act (expected mid-September). When the bill passed the Senate Banking Committee in May, it pushed XRP up about 5%.
The price rose but total open interest fell, indicating this rally isn't driven by leverage; the position structure is actually lighter. The counter-trend growth in CME positions shows institutions are taking over. The mid-September CLARITY Act vote could be the next catalyst. 👀
👇 Let's discuss in the comments—do you think the CLARITY Act will push XRP up to $1.5? Core Focus: BTC $76,400–77,000 Support | HYPE Remains Strong After Unlock | ZEC Defends High Levels | ARB/UNI/CRV Suddenly Surge | Early September Unlock Pressure Concentrated | First Watch Spot Support, Then Altcoin Offense In the last few days of August to early September, market risk appetite has clearly tightened. On August 28, Warsh emphasized inflation priority at Jackson Hole, causing the market to reprice for a high interest rate environment. US Treasury yields and the dollar strengthened simultaneously, combined with US-Iran military tensions pushing oil prices up, BTC fell from the $81,450–81,480 range to around $77,000. Institutional funds have not withdrawn; on August 28, BTC spot ETF net outflow was about $202 million, ending a streak of 9 consecutive trading days of net inflows; on August 31, it flowed back in about $217 million, with IBIT contributing about $206 million. ETH spot ETFs continue to maintain consecutive net inflows, indicating that large capital allocation willingness has not disappeared, only that risk budgets are tightening. Tonight, the most important position on the altcoin radar is only one: can BTC hold $76,400–77,000? If this area holds steady, altcoins can continue to be watched; if lost, high Beta assets should be reduced first. 1. Strong Validation $HYPE | 🟡 Observed as Strong: The major unlock has already landed, and the most important signal is that the price can still hold $80. HYPE is currently around $81–83, with a pre-August 24 high of about $83.3, and on August 29 completed about 1,418 $BTC $ETH $SOL Bitcoin holds 77k, with a 59.1% share, ETH/BTC ratio at 0.0315, SOL rebounds to 99.8 — strength ranking remains Bitcoin > ETH > SOL > meme coins, ZEC's eight-year high is just an ETF trust short squeeze fireworks. August +24% is strong, but the 50-week moving average at 81k was not reclaimed, positioning it as a bear market range recovery, not a bull third wave; September is still a "Rektember" weak month.
Fear and greed at 69 in the greed zone, but macro triple pressure: 64% chance of rate hike in September, 10-year US Treasury at 4.78%, Brent crude at 91; on-chain greed and macro fear cause a fork, greed is killed first. Bull market unrealized gains of 150k with a 20% spike back to 30k, those who haven't withdrawn to bank cards are just illusions on exchanges. This cycle 126k → 58k → 77k, survival is not about understanding URPD best, but about lowering leverage earliest and keeping cold wallet base positions — the cycle rewards survivors, not the smart ones.

Do you usually focus on volume-price divergence?
I observed that during the $SOL rally phase, trading volume continuously shrank, and the 4-hour candlestick repeatedly touched resistance levels but was pushed back, forming a clear bearish divergence.
Sector funds are being diverted, and buying power is insufficient to continue pushing prices higher. I advised positioning short orders in the group. The market declined as expected; I recommend taking profits on some positions and definitely setting stop-losses on the base positions to guard against short-term rebounds. $ETH $BTC #就业数据密集公布，沃什政策立场受检验 Sudden outbreak of war in the Middle East! A black swan hits the crypto circle, do not act rashly now
Breaking news! The US military launches a large-scale strike on Iranian targets

A geopolitical black swan suddenly appears, combined with the dual pressure of the Fed's hawkish stance, market risk aversion sentiment erupts directly.
Risk assets are collectively sold off, BTC quickly breaks below 77000, ETH weakens in sync, crude oil rises accordingly, and market volatility is completely amplified.
The biggest variable now lies in Iran's subsequent response; every new piece of news can trigger violent market spikes, making the market extremely volatile.

#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 #财报观察员：博通与戴尔接棒，AI回报再受检验 10 min before closing there was a huge uptick, over 70K shares. Looking at the move before, it is definitely not coming from OMMs. Today is month end, and some funds may have to rebalance. So it could be an unexpected imbalance in MOC. MOC arb traders usually inflate the price so that they can fill the auction at higher price. But if that was the case, they should have lifted earlier because the imbalance is known at 15 min before closing. Another possibility is $SNDK buyback through VWAP. $S$BTC CAPITAL IS STARTING TO LOOK BEYOND BITCOIN.
The latest ETF flows are giving us a signal that I think deserves more attention.
From August 24 to 28, U.S. spot ETFs saw roughly:
$924M → BTC
$824M → ETH
$154M → SOL
$110M → XRP
The interesting part isn't just the size of these numbers.
It’s the divergence.
On August 28, BTC ETFs recorded approximately $202M in outflows.
Yet ETH still pulled in around $102M, while SOL and XRP attracted roughly $18M and $26M.
That tells me we shouldn't automatically interpret Bitcoin's outflow as money leaving the crypto market.
Some of that capital may simply be looking for different opportunities.
This is why I’m paying more attention to relative performance than headline ETF numbers.
If BTC ETF flows stabilize while Bitcoin remains strong, the market may simply be going through a short-term repositioning phase.
But if ETH continues attracting capital and ETH/BTC keeps strengthening, that would be a much more meaningful sign of rotation.
SOL and XRP are also worth watching.
The inflows are there.
Now the market has to prove whether those inflows can translate into actual price strength.
And then we have HYPE, which can provide another read on how much risk investors are willing to take outside the largest assets.
The important thing is not to confuse capital movement with guaranteed direction.
Money can rotate without the entire market becoming bullish.
It can also move into an asset temporarily before flowing back out.
That's why I want to see ETF flows + relative strength + price action confirm the same story.
Right now, the market isn't giving us a simple “risk-on” or “risk-off” signal.
It's giving us a selective risk signal.
Bitcoin remains the benchmark.
Ethereum is showing strong capital attraction.
SOL and XRP are gaining attention.
And higher-beta assets are being tested.
The next few sessions should reveal whether this is just short-term positioning or the beginning of a broader rotation.
For now, I'm following the money rather than trying to predict where it goes next.
$BTC $ETH $SOL $XRP 最新的美国现货ETF资金流向，比单纯的“避险模式”更值得关注。 过去一周，市场资金依然保持较强活跃度： 🟠 $BTC ETF：约 +8.7亿美元 🔵 $ETH ETF：约 +7.6亿美元 🟣 $SOL ETF：约 +1.31亿美元 🟢 $XRP ETF：约 +9,200万美元 单看这些数据，很难得出“机构正在全面撤出加密市场”的结论。 真正有意思的是资金在不同资产之间的切换。 最近一个交易日，BTC ETF出现约 1.68亿美元净流出，但ETH ETF反而录得约 1.15亿美元净流入；与此同时，SOL和XRP仍分别获得约 2,200万美元和 1,400万美元的资金支持。 这说明一个关键变化： 资金可能不是离开加密市场，而是在寻找更高确定性或更高弹性的资产。 而宏观环境也正在给这场轮动增加新的变量。 美国就业市场成为市场最新关注焦点，投资者正在重新评估经济增长、通胀以及美联储未来利率政策。与此同时，黄金与BTC之间的相关性也再次受到关注。 📌 BTC： 重点观察ETF资金能否重新恢复净流入。如果持续出现机构卖压，BTC可能继续承受压力。 📌 ETH： 如果资金持续流入，同时E$BTC's strong game-theoretic properties make it especially suitable for right-side breakout trading, and it can capture the entire move. Similar cases are only seen with the US stock market's 'Seven Sisters' and US stock ETFs like $QQQB and $SPYB.
Most assets cannot achieve this; even if an independent rally occurs, it must be catalyzed by the above assets. This is a phenomenon I've observed recently where Bitcoin's rally drives ETH, UNI, PONS, and the Nasdaq rallying semiconductors.This week hasn't been friendly to risk assets. The tone from global central banks is clearly hawkish—10-year US Treasury yields just hit a new high for the year, and rate hike expectations in Europe are also heating up. Money is getting more expensive, so assets like $BTC are inherently facing headwinds. More importantly, Friday's non-farm payrolls report is the real big variable this week. Before the event unfolds, I don't like to fully load my positions; I'd rather keep some bullets ready for catalysts. The market never lacks opportunities; what it lacks is whether you still have cards to play. Before Friday's data comes out, would you choose to be fully invested, half invested, or out of the market?ETH ETF has seen inflows for 11 consecutive days, so why hasn't the price taken off directly?
The US spot ETH ETF has had net inflows for 11 trading days in a row, accumulating about $1.6 billion in this round.
On the latest day, another $87.68 million flowed in, with BlackRock's ETHA product alone taking about $59.9 million.
This indicates that institutional buying is not just a short-term sentiment but a continuous allocation.
However, ETH is still around $2470 and hasn't surged directly due to the 11 consecutive inflows.
The reason is simple: $1.6 billion is not enough to independently cause a supply squeeze for ETH, which has a market cap close to $300 billion. Also, ETH has already risen about 30% in the past two weeks, so part of the ETF's positive impact has already been priced in.
Another point worth noting: ETF funds are strong, but spot trading volume hasn't exploded correspondingly. Money is coming in, but the price is stuck near $2500, indicating that profit-taking and trapped positions are still selling above.
Next, watch two levels.
Holding near $2400 means this round of capital support is still in place; breaking through $2500–$2560 again means continuous ETF inflows could further translate into a price breakout.
Conversely, if ETF inflows start to slow significantly and ETH can't break above $2500, the market should beware of "funds look good, but the price has already been overextended."
So, the 11 consecutive inflows themselves are somewhat bullish, but the more critical question going forward is: can ETH continue to rise while ETFs keep buying? $ETH $HYPE has recently brought the market's attention back.
As of September 1st, HYPE has been fluctuating around $83, having reached a new high of $86.71 on August 27th, just a few points shy of the previous peak. The increase over the past 30 days is close to 60%, significantly stronger than most altcoins during the same period.
But the biggest highlight for HYPE right now remains the data from Hyperliquid itself.
Currently, the platform's TVL is about $6.69 billion, generating approximately $66.69 million in fees over the past 30 days, with protocol revenue around $50.97 million. These numbers alone already indicate a sustained demand for trading on the platform.
More importantly, there is the buyback.
Hyperliquid uses the vast majority of eligible fees to buy back HYPE. Since the beginning of this year, the buyback scale has been about $370 million, accounting for a very high proportion of token buybacks in the entire crypto market.
However, there is a pressure point ahead.
On September 6th, about 9.92 million HYPE tokens will be unlocked, which at the current price amounts to nearly $820 million. Although historical data shows that the actual amount claimed and sold may be much lower than the nominal unlocked volume, market sentiment could still be affected.
So, I will be watching two key points:
Whether the previous high of $86.7 can be broken with volume;
Whether the price can withstand supply pressure around the September 6th unlock.
If the platform data continues to grow and buybacks persist, HYPE’s fundamentals will still have something to watch. The market sentiment remained subdued in the evening, with volatility continuing to narrow and funds lacking a clear main theme. $BTC maintained range-bound consolidation; MACD showed a divergence signal but has yet to break above the previous high with volume, so it can only be seen as accumulation for now and should not be directly interpreted as a bottoming signal. Notably, the US spot Bitcoin ETF recorded a net inflow of $216.7 million in a single day, with BlackRock contributing the vast majority of funds, reversing the outflow trend from the previous day. However, whether this single-day data can be sustained remains to be seen, and it is premature to define it as a trend reversal. $ETH showed relatively weak performance, following the broader market's fluctuations without incremental capital catalysts, making it difficult to form an independent trend in the short term; new news stimuli are needed. Meme coins like Dogecoin and TrumpCoin exhibited significantly greater volatility than mainstream coins, heavily relying on public opinion and hot sentiment. When the market is stable, they tend to spike impulsively, but if they weaken, the pullback is deeper, so chasing highs requires extra caution. $SPCX adjusted along with the Nasdaq; current buying is acceptable but mostly from front-running funds. Passive index funds will execute on 9.18, and historical trends show the possibility of a pre-execution pump followed by unlocking and selling. Blind shorting before the 9.10 to 9.18 window is not advisable, and one should be wary of selling pressure from profit-taking. On the macro level, employment data, BTC and gold correlation, and AI giant earnings reports remain key variables affecting risk appetite. Risk warning: Market volatility is uncertain; the above content is for reference only and does not constitute investment advice.$MET This trend doesn't even require me to think; the account is dancing on its own.
During the intraday plunge, I happened to be watching the market. MET had been stuck for a long time, neither up nor down, with decreasing volume. Every rally fell just short—classic heavy bull trap, right? I said then, short it. Opened a short at 0.2181, and it definitely didn't let me down.
Now at 0.1955, +208.16%, feeling good brothers. This drop was really fast, directly fattening up the previous profits again. Following my plan, I first closed 70%, moved the stop loss for the remaining 30% above the cost price, and if it breaks further, let the profits run. No need to panic on a rebound; the cost price holds, profits won't fall. Not many got on this wave, even fewer held on.
Better to miss a limit-up than catch a falling knife and bleed. Panic comes from no plan; losses come from overthinking. Don't get greedy with profits, don't despair over pullbacks. If you missed this wave, no rush, there will be more chances, wait for the next shot.
Now is not the time to chase; those trapped above are still waiting to break even. When the structure becomes clearer, I'll alert immediately.
$BNB $ADA $XAU This 100x short position went from 4445.1 to 4335.2, with an unrealized profit of 247%. It dropped sharply earlier, now the movement is starting to slow down,
indicating the momentum is fading, and it’s likely to oscillate back and forth later. For 100x leverage, don’t hold through the oscillation phase; take 80% profit, keep 20% with a stop loss at 4445.1 to break even, and move the stop loss to 4370.
Brothers who haven’t entered yet, wait for another big move with a clear direction before following; don’t open high leverage positions during quiet times, as you’re likely to get stopped out by fake moves. $BTC $ETH Despite headwinds at the macro level, Bitcoin's underlying market structure shows a certain resilience. In August, Bitcoin surged 24%, mainly driven by strong demand for spot ETFs rather than retail leveraged speculation. Currently, the open interest in perpetual contracts is low, and financing costs are manageable, indicating a lack of crowded leveraged longs in the market, which to some extent reduces the risk of panic deleveraging. However, recently Bitcoin ETFs have seen outflows after consecutive net inflows, showing institutional caution in the short term.
Additionally, there is the dual nature of regulatory policy, as the US Senate is about to hold a procedural vote on the CLARITY Act. Although the act aims to provide a clear regulatory framework, some analyses suggest that its advancement may drive away some core investors who pursue decentralization, becoming a short-term headwind for Bitcoin; whereas the act's stagnation might maintain the market's "Wild West" state, which could actually benefit price performance. $BTC $ETH $ZORA $BTC VS $ETH THE ETF FLOWS ARE TELLING A DIFFERENT STORY.
One of the more interesting things happening in the market right now isn't the total amount of capital entering crypto.
It's where that capital is being allocated.
Between August 24 and 28, U.S. spot ETFs attracted approximately:
$BTC → +$924M
$ETH → +$824M
$SOL → +$154M
$XRP → +$110M
At first glance, that looks broadly constructive.
But the daily breakdown reveals a much more interesting shift.
On August 28, Bitcoin ETFs recorded roughly $202M in outflows.
At the same time:
$ETH → +$102M
$SOL → +$18M
$XRP → +$26M
So while Bitcoin was experiencing meaningful outflows, other major crypto assets were still attracting capital.
That makes the current environment worth watching closely.
This doesn't necessarily look like investors abandoning crypto.
It could simply be a case of capital becoming more selective.
Bitcoin has been the dominant institutional vehicle for years, but if investors increasingly start allocating toward ETH, SOL, XRP and other assets, the market could be entering a different phase.
ETH is probably the clearest one to monitor.
Strong ETF inflows combined with improving ETH/BTC relative strength would make the rotation argument much stronger.
SOL is another interesting test.
The money is coming in, but we still need to see whether that demand translates into sustained price performance.
XRP is also showing improving institutional interest, with its weekly ETF inflow reportedly reaching a new 2026 high.
And HYPE shouldn't be ignored either.
Its performance relative to BTC and ETH could help show whether traders are becoming more comfortable taking risk outside the two largest assets.
But there’s an important distinction:
ETF inflows are not the same thing as guaranteed price appreciation.
Capital can rotate.
Sentiment can change.
And macro conditions can quickly override individual asset flows.
With employment data ahead and the Fed's policy direction still uncertain, I’m not ready to call the current rotation a confirmed trend. The biggest uncertainty in the current market comes from the direction of the Federal Reserve's monetary policy. Fed Chair Powell's hawkish remarks at the Jackson Hole conference have significantly increased market expectations for a rate hike in September. CME's "FedWatch" data shows the probability of a September rate hike has risen to about 64%. Rate hike expectations will push up yields on dollar assets, thereby putting pressure on risk assets such as Bitcoin.
Next, the U.S. nonfarm payroll data released on September 4 will be a key point. If the employment data is strong, it will further reinforce rate hike expectations, negatively impacting Bitcoin; conversely, if the data is weak, it may ease tightening concerns and provide rebound support for Bitcoin.
Geopolitical and Inflation Risks
Recently, the escalation of conflicts between the U.S. and Iran near the Strait of Hormuz has caused international oil prices (Brent crude) to surge above $90, and U.S. strategic petroleum reserves have dropped to their lowest level since 1982. The rise in energy prices not only exacerbates inflation risks but also pushes the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield up to 4.78%. This macroeconomic headwind environment increases market uncertainty, and Bitcoin may face short-term pressure for a pullback or volatility. $BTC $ETH $DOGE Account Position Divergence Radar
This chart doesn't guess who's smart; it only looks at whether account directions and top positions are aligned.
$DOGE account counts consistently lean long, but the top position ratio remains below 1, so the numerical advantage hasn't turned into a top position advantage. The 15-minute price-position shows a drop and an increase, indicating expanding risk exposure. Next, watch if selling pressure can continue to cause displacement. Until the top position ratio returns above 1, the long account advantage remains an incomplete consensus.
$XAU overall and top accounts lean toward the long side, but the top position size stays on the short side, showing a clear account/position divergence. When prices rise, open interest increases simultaneously, so this is not a simple deleveraging; position attribution still needs trade verification. Next, monitor whether the top position size shifts to long; otherwise, even if there are many long accounts, it is only a numerical advantage.
$SUI account numbers and top position weights are still not aligned, so keep the divergence label for now and leave the next layer to price-position. The decline hasn't led to position expansion; first, watch when risk exposure contraction slows. Currently, what's missing is consistency—continue to watch whether the divergence expands or begins to narrow. $SNDK market situation before close,
In the last 10 minutes before close, there was a huge surge, over 70K shares. Looking at the previous trend, this definitely did not come from OMMs.
Today is the end of the month, some funds may need to rebalance. So this could be an unexpected imbalance in the MOC. MOC arbitrage traders usually push up the price so they can fill the auction at a higher price. But if that’s the case, they should have pushed up earlier because the imbalance was known 15 minutes before close.
$BTC just broke out of the triangle range, but this move looks eerily familiar.
The first time this pattern was seen, it ended with a -38% retracement, the second time led to a -30% drop.
Now the price is repeating the same breakout and manipulation structure, and the RSI is back in the overbought zone.
Are we preparing for the last big drop before the real bottom?$TRUMP This isn't a rebound; it's like CPR for my short account, right?
Last night before bed, I took one last look at the market. TRUMP surged with a big bullish candle on low volume. It looked lively, but the volume didn't keep up at all, and the resistance above was obvious. Every time it pushed up, it weakened. I'm too familiar with this pattern—no one is buying on the way up; it's just a trap for the bulls. So I immediately decided to short, entered at 2.698, not expecting instant profits, just placing my position to wait for the bait.
Then at midnight, a big bearish candle broke the support. Now at 2.279, it has dropped well below that level, with a return of +778.35%. This isn't manipulation; the market is just rushing to give away money. Feels great, brothers!
The market is something you wait for; profits are something you hold for. Panic comes from lack of planning; losses come from overthinking.
For my position, I first took profit on 80%, pocketed it, moved the stop loss on the remaining 20% to the entry price. If it keeps dropping, let the profits run; if it rebounds, it won't hurt me.
For those who haven't entered yet, listen to me: now is not the time to rush in. Chasing shorts risks getting slapped by a rebound. Wait for a more comfortable position in the next round. When it comes, I'll be the first to call it out. Stay tuned.
$ZEC $DOGE $BTC, $ETH, $SOL, $XRP THE MONEY IS ROTATING, NOT DISAPPEARING.
The latest U.S. spot ETF flows are showing something more interesting than a simple risk-off move.
From August 24–28, BTC attracted roughly $924M, while ETH brought in about $824M.
SOL and XRP also continued to attract capital, with approximately $154M and $110M respectively.
But August 28 is where the picture becomes much more interesting.
BTC recorded around $202M in net outflows, while ETH went in the opposite direction with approximately $102M in inflows.
SOL and XRP also remained positive, attracting roughly $18M and $26M.
That divergence matters.
If capital were genuinely leaving crypto across the board, we would expect broad-based outflows.
Instead, we're seeing money move between different assets.
That looks more like portfolio rotation and selective risk-taking than a complete withdrawal from the market.
And this is where the next few sessions become important.
For BTC, the key question is whether ETF outflows can slow down and stabilize. Persistent selling from the ETF side could continue weighing on broader market sentiment.
ETH is becoming even more interesting.
If ETH continues attracting institutional capital while ETH/BTC strengthens, that would provide stronger evidence that the current rotation is moving beyond Bitcoin rather than simply being a temporary shift.
SOL also needs confirmation.
Capital inflows are encouraging, but the real test is whether those flows translate into sustained price strength.
XRP deserves attention as well.
Institutional demand appears to be improving, and its weekly ETF inflow reaching a new 2026 high would make the asset one to keep watching closely.
Then there’s HYPE.
Its relative performance against BTC and ETH could provide another useful signal for understanding where risk appetite is concentrating.
But I’m not treating any of these flows as a guaranteed directional signal.
ETF flows tell us where capital is moving.
They don't tell us exactly when price will follow.
#BTCGoldCorrelation $SOL This 100x short position went from 102.76 to 99.98, with an unrealized profit of 270%. Around 4 AM, the order book thinned noticeably, making the price prone to sudden pullbacks.
100x leverage has very low tolerance; don't hold through this period stubbornly. Take 90% profit, keep 10% for stop loss at 102.76 to break even, move stop loss to 101.2.
Brothers who haven't entered, don't open 100x positions in thin markets at dawn; slippage will eat into profits. Wait for deeper liquidity during the day to reconsider. $BTC $ETH $TRUMP From the perspective of the market structure, when the price rose to the 2.348 level, supply pressure was concentrated and released, with multiple attempts to break upward failing to form an effective breakout, and the upward momentum gradually weakening.
Based on this structural signal, a 50x short position was executed internally.
The market gradually returned to a downward rhythm, with the current marked price at 2.284, floating profit at 136.28%.
Position management: closed 50% of the position to take profits, and adjusted the stop loss of the remaining position to the opening average price of 2.348, achieving a breakeven position.
Going forward, focus on observing the performance of the support level below. Trading emphasizes respecting the market structure, and subsequent market changes will be continuously tracked and analyzed. $BTC #苹果换帅：Ternus接任CEO $ETH ARB showed a strong performance today, with a single-day increase of over 30%, briefly reaching around 0.119. The core driving force behind this rally comes from the implementation of technical upgrades: ArbOS 61 has been fully deployed, Stylus contract capacity has been expanded fourfold, and zero-knowledge proof technology has been integrated. Meanwhile, the Robinhood chain built on Arbitrum Orbit is bringing traditional financial traffic, accelerating RWA capital inflows, with institutions choosing to position themselves ahead of the month-end. After the price broke out of a three-month horizontal range, market discussion gradually caught up, representing a typical case of price leading and narrative following. CRV also rose by about a dozen points, oscillating around 0.35, with its stablecoin exchange scenario still providing support. OP increased by about 9%, mainly following BTC's macro rhythm, lacking independent catalysts. Notably, ARB's RSI has risen above 70, clearly overbought, while open interest contracts dropped sharply by 46% during the price rise, suggesting some funds are taking profits by selling into the rally rather than chasing higher prices; OP's open interest also fell by 16%, indicating profit-taking as well. Short-term sentiment is overheated, so chasing the rally requires caution. It is recommended to focus on actual on-chain activity and sustained capital flow following the technical upgrades. Risk warning: The market is highly volatile, please manage your positions rationally.The CORE public blockchain has recently faced consecutive challenges, with market focus extending from technical faults to governance and trust issues. On August 31, 2026, some validator nodes received excessive block rewards; the official team confirmed this was due to a bug in the protocol's reward distribution logic, emphasized user asset security, and promised to release a comprehensive review report. Although no direct financial losses occurred, the community is concerned that the consensus mechanism, as the foundation of the public chain, warrants reflection on its underlying robustness.
Meanwhile, the on-chain lending protocol Colend triggered a cascade of liquidations due to a drop in token price, causing many users to be forcibly liquidated. The root cause lies in the ecosystem's overreliance on the CORE native token as collateral, where price volatility directly escalates into systemic risk. The project team showed lapses in optimizing risk parameters and issuing warnings.
What further draws community criticism is the lack of communication. After Binance delisted the token—a major negative event—senior management did not conduct special crisis communication nor implement remedial measures, resulting in a poor external impression. Coupled with the full unlocking of airdropped tokens, a rapid increase in circulation rate to 70%, and the absence of a buyback and burn mechanism, supply pressure was released in a concentrated manner. Although the BTCFi narrative is popular, the actual TVL and active user base remain low. Facing competition from Stacks, Babylon, and others, the differentiation barriers are not yet clear.
Technical bugs can be fixed, but once trust is damaged, the cost of repair will multiply. Risk reminder: The market carries risks, and investment requires caution. The above content does not constitute any investment advice.$SUI No vision, can't hold on, the profit this time is as thin as paper, but I love it to death. Opened the market this morning, the rebound was weak, selling pressure kept pressing down, I knew the short order I placed before bed last night had a chance. Entered at 0.8202, now at 0.7229, +594.36%, not violent but the position is clearly under pressure, being able to take this much is very comfortable. Operation-wise, first close 80%, pocket the profit, move the stop loss of the remaining 20% above the cost price to protect the profit baseline. Even if you only make a little, as long as you can take it away, it's yours; any floating profit beyond that belongs to the market. Hold off on chasing shorts now, wait for a more comfortable position in the next round when I get the signal, low trading volume is the easiest time for false breakouts, don't rush, there will be more opportunities.
$ZEC $DOGE US Stock SanDisk-$SNDK Peaks and Pulls Back, Large Intraday Swings
1. Momentum Quantitative Algorithms Amplify Ups and Downs
The storage sector is the strongest momentum track this year, with many trend-quantitative programs: automatically increasing positions on rises, and collectively stop-loss selling once key price levels are broken.
During intraday surges, algorithms follow the trend to push the stock price higher; once the trend reverses downward, a flood of stop-loss orders emerges, quickly hammering the price down, causing an intraday pattern of "instant plunge after a spike."
2. Intense Hedge Fund Long-Short Battles
Some funds bet on AI storage demand and NAND price increases; others worry about the cycle peaking and Fed rate hikes. Large-scale back-and-forth turnover between bulls and bears expands trading volume and intraday volatility.
The big AI storage thesis hasn't been completely disproven, but the market is starting to "discount and doubt expectations," and valuations are beginning to contract.
1. ✅ Reality supporting the narrative: AI servers' demand for SSDs and NAND flash is indeed exploding, enterprise orders are full, earnings reports are outstanding, and NAND chip prices continue to rise.
2. ⚠️ Market doubts (core reasons for the pullback):
① Marginal weakening of price hike expectations: institutions predict future NAND price increases will narrow and won't be as violent as in the first half; the market worries this storage cycle is near its peak.
② Valuations are already stretched: SanDisk has surged significantly this year, with the stock price fully pricing in part of the next 2-3 years' performance; any slight miss could trigger large-scale profit-taking.
③ The double-edged nature of long-term contracts: large long-term orders lock in some revenue but also limit upside elasticity, making explosive growth unlikely.
1. Hawkish Fed expectations soar, US Treasury yields rise
With speeches by Waller and hawkish officials, the market prices in a September rate hike. High-valuation growth chip stocks are hit first; funds overall flee high-growth tech stocks for safety. The storage sector, being high beta, experiences amplified volatility.
2. MSCI inclusion benefits realized, profit-taking on the news
Pre-market news: SanDisk included in MSCI index, causing a short-term intraday spike; after passive index buying completes, short-term funds take profits on the rally, causing a "sell-off as good news hits," with a quick pullback after the spike.
3. Middle East pushes oil prices up, inflation concerns rise again
The Hormuz situation pushes crude oil prices higher; the market worries about sticky inflation, further reinforcing expectations that the Fed will maintain high rates, suppressing semiconductor sector valuations overall.
4. Sector linkage (Micron, Hynix move in sync)
SanDisk, Micron, and SK Hynix show highly synchronized movements, all experiencing intraday spikes and pullbacks on the same day.
If this were individual stock manipulation, the entire storage sector wouldn't show identical intraday patterns; this is a sector-wide loosening of chips, not an isolated stock event.
Summary
1. Not manual manipulation, but quantitative algorithms amplifying volatility, with massive institutional long-short battles causing large intraday swings;
2. The AI storage narrative hasn't completely collapsed, but valuation premiums are being compressed; the market is no longer blindly bullish, and good news easily becomes a profit-taking trigger;
3. The immediate catalyst was the warming Fed rate hike expectations combined with MSCI inclusion benefits triggering profit-taking;
4. The storage sector is a high-beta cyclical growth stock; the biggest external risk remains Fed interest rates, while internally, watch NAND pricing and cloud providers' capital expenditure data.The bull market remains unchanged; rhythm determines the outcome.
The deadliest mistake in this bull market is not choosing the wrong sector, but stepping out of rhythm. Many people pick the right direction but lose money simply because they hold too heavy a position during pullbacks and hesitate to add during rebounds. My approach is divided into three tiers:
· Ballast: BTC, ETH, grid investment, unwavering—this is the base position belief;
· Main force: Layer1s like SOL, AVAX, tracked by moving average trends; if they break below the 20-day moving average, halve the position—no illusions;
· Special forces: new concepts like AI, RWA, controlled within 3%, with strict take-profit and stop-loss; take profits and run, no attachment.
Currently, I focus on three key data points:
1. Changes in exchange BTC balances to judge supply pressure;
2. Increment in stablecoin total market cap to gauge off-exchange capital inflow willingness;
3. Perpetual contract funding rates; reduce positions when overheated, add when quiet.
In the second half of the bull market, sharp drops and slow rises are normal. The ultimate winner is not the one who times bottoms and tops best, but the one who understands dynamic balance. Dare to sell after big gains, dare to buy after deep drops, always keep 20% cash for emergencies. The market never lacks opportunities, it lacks patience and discipline. Follow the trend, flexibly rotate positions, and you can bite into the fattest main upward wave.

#BTC高位震荡，与黄金联动增强 Did nothing, just went to the restroom, and when I came back, the K-line had already done the work for me 😏 Last night before bed, I placed a buy order at 0.5702, thinking to buy a bit if the bottom consolidation didn't break. But this morning when I woke up, $SPX had already surged to 0.5702, with a paper profit of +226.95%. I literally earned money lying down.
At that time, the consolidation was frustrating, but I saw the volume shrink to the lowest level, the pullback didn't break the support, and after repeatedly confirming several times that it wasn't a bull trap, I dared to act. Don't fall before dawn, I've said this many times. Being out of the market isn't a sin; recklessly opening positions is the mistake. For stocks you're not confident in, just looking once is being clear-headed, buying a lot is foolish.
Now I take profit on 75%, move the stop loss on the remaining 25% up to the cost price, and let the profit run. Don't lose patience in the choppy market and then try to regain dignity in a trending move 🎯
Brothers who haven't gotten on board yet, be careful, this is not the time to rush in; chasing highs easily gets stuck at the peak. Wait for a more comfortable position in the next round, I will notify you immediately, stay tuned.
$ZEC $BTC $ETH The fundamentals of this round are indeed much better than the previous one. The trading and DeFi demand brought by RWA and Robinhood Chain could potentially bring new growth to Ethereum.
However, the 4000+ level is a huge trapped zone left from the tops of the past two bull markets. Breaking through $5000 will still take time, but I believe the target for ETH in this bull market should be around $10000.
As the Ethereum ecosystem revives, market attention may return to those severely forgotten assets, such as the Meme leader PEPE, which has dropped nearly 90% from its ATH, and blockchain infrastructure projects within the Ethereum ecosystem like UNI, AAVE, and CRV, all of which offer higher odds than ETH.
$SOL I still believe the probability of outperforming ETH this round is not low, but replicating last round's performance will be much more difficult. Still, focus on the MEME coin leaders in the SOL ecosystem, $PENGU and PUMP, which have higher odds.The market never disappoints those who prepare their analysis in advance.
BTC, ETH, XAUT, SNDK—the four major assets' low-long strategies have all been fully implemented.
Every support level, every entry range, every target tier was publicly shared before the market started moving.
The most valuable thing in the market is never a one-time profit by chance, but a set of logic that can be repeatedly validated.

On September 1, John Ternus officially succeeded Cook as Apple's new CEO. Cook did not leave but transitioned to Executive Chairman of the Board.
Who is the new CEO? He is 51 years old, joined in 2001, and worked his way up from grassroots design to Senior Vice President of Hardware Engineering. He is responsible for the hardware of iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Vision Pro. An engineer by background, his style is somewhat similar to Cook’s—gentle and detail-oriented—but more hardware technology-driven.
🍏 Three major challenges await him:
AI lagging behind—Microsoft and Google are heavily investing in AI, while Apple’s Apple Intelligence has repeatedly faced setbacks. Ternus’s approach is "hardware first, AI as an attachment," focusing on stabilizing the core business through products first.
Political pressure—Trump keeps demanding that iPhone production lines be moved back to the U.S. Cook managed to navigate this with political skill, but Ternus lacks experience in this area.
Supply chain bottlenecks—storage chip prices have surged to a "once-in-a-century" level, biting into Apple’s gross margin.
💡 But he also holds some cards:
At the September 9 fall launch event, the first foldable iPhone will debut. This product has been under his leadership for a long time and is his first public appearance since taking office.
Cook grew Apple’s market value from 350 billion to 4 trillion in 15 years. Ternus takes over Apple with revenue exceeding 400 billion and over a hundred billion in cash on hand, but faces tough battles ahead.
#苹果换帅：Ternus接任CEO
$AAPL If you have sufficient funds, I really don't recommend doing short-term trading.
The news is too chaotic: hawkish Fed, US-Iran conflict, oil prices soaring past 90. Positive news can't push prices up, but any negative news hits hard. Sideways trading during the day, plunges at midnight—the rhythm is all controlled by the market makers. Chasing highs and cutting losses repeatedly just shrinks your account. No matter how much capital you have, it can't withstand such turmoil. #美伊再交火、油轮遇阻，布油重返90美元
Looking back, those who bought mainstream coins at low prices and held without moving them have earned the most in this cycle. BTC went from 50,000 to 80,000, and any trading in between was a mistake.
In today's crypto space, I really recommend dollar-cost averaging into mainstream coins. Buy a fixed amount of BTC, ETH, SOL every month—no need to watch the market, guess price movements, or be swayed by the news. Over a longer period, those who hold tend to outperform 90% of short-term traders.
Dollar-cost averaging isn't the most profitable strategy, but it is the most stable one Just switched the software to the background, and the short position profit suddenly surged. Is this playing hide and seek with me? During the intraday plunge, I noticed the $RSR sell orders were strong, with insufficient support, volumeless decline but signs of acceleration. So I signaled to open a short at 0.001514. While others were cutting losses during the plunge, I was adding positions; it feels great to have a clear strategy. My reaction was fast enough, or I would have missed this plunge. Don't lose patience in the choppy market, then try to regain dignity in a one-sided move.
Now at 0.001345, +223.24%, the timing was spot on. This move was purely due to market sentiment, casually throwing some coins. Not shorting at this level would really be disrespecting the market. This short position gave the answer; don't envy if you didn't get on board.
Take profit on 80%, set stop loss at cost price for the remaining 20%. Pocket the major gains first, let the rest run. This profit feels good, not wasted watching the market. Set the protection level well, leave the rest to the market.
Chasing shorts now is easy to get cut; wait for the next rebound to a high level. I will notify immediately. Waiting for good news. The money earned is the realization of your understanding; the money lost is the flaw in your understanding. Opportunities remain, don't rush, the market doesn't lack patient people. I'll watch for you, don't act rashly. Remember, don't panic.
$BTC $LAB 【BTC Long Position Plan】
I have already entered a long position at 77,200, with a stop loss set at 76,200.
For those who missed the message and fell asleep, if the price is still above 76,800 when you wake up tomorrow, you can continue to go long.
If the price falls below 76,800, do not go long for now; wait until it approaches around 75,500 before deciding whether to enter.
The above content is only my personal market analysis and trading ideas, and does not constitute any investment advice. Please manage your position size and risk according to your own situation. $BTC has been continuously correcting for 5 days since breaking the new high of 81520 on August 28. #BTC成交萎缩，ETF买盘能否回暖
From the daily chart perspective, it is estimated to correct down to around 73000. There's no way around it; even without macro negative factors, a correction is highly likely. This is the advantage of naked K. After a normal violent surge, a technical correction is a must!!! Naked K looks at the correction as long as it doesn't break the previous bottom around 72000. If there is positive news in between, the rally will continue; if negative, then 72000 is the bottom.
However, naked K will tell you the bottom's lower limit is
71000 < bottom < 73000.
Similarly, for $ETH, the second coin's correction will not break 2280. If it breaks 2280 and the downtrend doesn't stop below 2280, go short directly. If there is a rally in between, pushing it up is a direct short!!!

In the past, such a level of macroeconomic negative news would have caused Bitcoin to drop at least 5%. But this time, after the price hit a low of $77,396, it recovered and did not collapse.
Why was the selling pressure absorbed?
Bitfinex's report yesterday offers an observation: the August rally was mainly driven by spot buying rather than leverage expansion. Although open interest increased, the basis remained restrained, indicating real money was absorbing the selling.
On-chain data points to a similar conclusion:
· The whale group holding 100–1000 BTC increased their holdings by about 73,300 BTC over the past 60 days, the largest net increase since April 21;
· Meanwhile, small retail holders with 0.1–1 BTC have a cumulative trend score as low as -0.982, near historical extremes, showing a clear pattern of reducing positions and exiting.
Whales accumulating, retail clearing out — this is a classic divergence picture.
But signals from ETFs appear mixed:
· Last week, US spot Bitcoin ETFs saw a net inflow of nearly $1 billion;
· However, on Friday alone, there was a net outflow of $202 million, ending a nine-day streak of net inflows;
· On Monday, BlackRock made a strong return with $217 million inflow, reigniting bullish sentiment.
In the same market, three sets of data contradict each other:
Rate hike probability surges, yet BTC refuses to plunge deeply;
Large holders keep buying, small holders keep selling;
ETF funds fled on Friday but quickly returned on Monday.
Some are retreating, some are positioning. Who has the upper hand? It’s still unclear.
At this point, my choice is to wait and see. Before the rate hike boots drop, no chasing highs or panic selling.
Everything depends on the data, waiting for clearer signals.

#EarningsObserver: Broadcom and Dell take over, AI returns under further scrutiny 🚨 Singapore takes action: Is the "wild era" of stablecoins really coming to an end?
On September 1, the Monetary Authority of Singapore launched a consultation on amendments to stablecoin regulatory legislation.
The core points are threefold: 100% reserves, redemption at face value, and prohibition of interest payments.
This means that the way USDT and USDC operate in Asia may change in the future.
In the short term, if trading platforms tighten restrictions on USDT, liquidity could be affected; but in the long term, compliant stablecoins might become a new channel for institutional funds to enter the crypto market.
The US has the GENIUS Act, the EU has MiCA, Hong Kong has already issued licenses, and Singapore is now catching up.
Stablecoins are moving from "anyone can issue" to "only those who comply can benefit."
Meanwhile, BTC's role may become clearer:
Stablecoins handle payment settlements, BTC handles value storage.
The next real competition may not be about who issues more,
but who can obtain more compliance licenses.

#DailyOrbit 2026.9.2: Late night thoughts, thinking about why Trump would stir things up and launch an attack on Iran in early September. The election season has arrived, and Trump needs events to ferment to divert attention from domestic issues and conflicts. Coupled with the Federal Reserve, which keeps talking about inflation targets while fully aware it will push oil prices up, giving the market plenty of rate hike expectations. A large group of analysts, Wall Street, and the media join forces to bombard and hype up the rate hike expectations, causing widespread panic. Does the Federal Reserve really dare to raise rates? Printing money vigorously with the left hand while buying U.S. debt with the right. Historically, the only ways the Fed can handle the massive U.S. debt are credit default or continuing to print money to inflate and dilute the debt, making money worth even less. This is also a hidden logic behind this wave of Bitcoin's rise, corresponding to the fact that fiat currency can be printed infinitely, but $BTC will always be limited to 21 million coins. The Fed may not cut rates, but it definitely doesn't dare to raise them. With $40 trillion in U.S. debt, a 1% rate hike means paying an extra $400 billion in interest. This panic-driven shakeout is more about creating emotional fear. If I'm wrong, then I admit it. I have more $BTC, trading with my own understanding, recording on the planet! Recording real trades!
