ZEC has already surged above $1,400.
Now, don't rush to chase it.
What’s more worth watching today is whether the capital has started to spread.
BTC: around $76.8K
ETH: around $2,470
SOL: around $101
XRP: around $1.31
ZEC: above $1,400. (Investing.com)
My observation is simple:
ZEC continues to break new highs with increased volume, indicating that high-volatility capital is still present.
But if BTC stabilizes above $76K,
ETH regains and holds above $2,500,
SOL holds above $100,
XRP breaks out with volume above $1.32-$1.35,
then pay attention.
It might not be just ZEC moving, but capital starting to spread into mainstream altcoins.
The truly valuable buy or sell signals often aren’t the first big bullish candle.
They come when the second batch of coins starts to move.
Tonight, focus closely on these levels.Will $ZEC ZEC become the next BTC, or end up worthless? Its biggest advantages are the 21 million total supply cap, PoW mechanism, and the privacy features brought by zero-knowledge proofs. These indeed give it a bit of a "digital gold" vibe. But the reality is: BTC already has global consensus, while ZEC currently relies more on privacy narratives and market capital. What really matters going forward is not how much it rises in a day, but whether private transactions, real users, and capital inflows can be sustained. If the price rises and usage increases, this rally might not be just simple speculation; if only the price skyrockets without real on-chain growth, then be cautious of a sharp drop afterward. So I prefer to view ZEC as a high-risk, high-reward privacy sector asset, rather than simply the "next BTC."第一，行情端今晚普涨：BTC 在 76,440 到 77,000 之间（20:31 快照 76,988，+1.43%），ETH 2,441–2,471、强于 BTC，SOL 站上 100 美元，ZEC 一天拉 15.9% 到 1,366 美元。但这是跟着美股和油价涨的 beta，不是独立行情。 第二，资金端在跑：9/15 美国现货 BTC ETF 净流出 4.504 亿美元（6 月 25 日以来最大），ETH ETF 流出 1.4147 亿（1 月 30 日以来最大），单日合计约 5.92 亿；9/16 的 BTC ETF 再流出 2.959 亿⚠️（这条只有 Farside 的转载口径，第二来源待核）。两天 7 亿多美元走掉，现货买盘根本没补上。 第三，位置很尴尬：Glassnode 把 76,700 定义为"真实市场均值"，现价就卡在这条线下面几十美元；更难看的是"实现资本总额"9/15 出现 28 天来第一次日度下跌。守不住 76,700，下一个成本基准就是 71,300（短期持有者均价），再往下是 62,000–65,000。CryptoQuant 内部自己也在打：一边说浮亏 $ZEC is going crazy!!
From 1100 to 1444, up 14% in 24 hours again, shorts are liquidating loudly. The whales are clearly squeezing shorts this round, currently at 1425, just a breath away from 1441.
But I don't want to chase longs right now.
The 1400 level has been tested three times without breaking through. Repeated failures at this key level mean short-term profit-taking will only accumulate. The biggest fear isn't that it can't rise, but that everyone believes it will definitely break next time.
Looking at the chart, 1400 is the watershed. If it holds, the short logic is invalidated, and the squeeze continues. If it can't break through, watch 1350 first, and if that breaks, then 1300 to 1280. If 1300 can't hold either, profit-taking will concentrate and be realized.
However, the potential for $ZEC in this bull market is indeed underestimated.
But imagination is imagination, and the chart is the chart. If 1400 can't be broken, everyone should be cautious about entering.
#Interest rate hike implemented #Bitcoin ETF net outflows have somewhat narrowed. If inflows return this week, market sentiment will stabilize!
On Wednesday, ETF single-day net outflow was 296 million, marking the second consecutive net outflow this week, totaling 746 million. Among them, IBIT had a net outflow of 144.1 million, accounting for 48.7% of the total, while MSBT had a net inflow of 3.5 million.
Wednesday's ETF data showed a narrowing of net outflows compared to Tuesday, indicating that the interest rate hike implementation did not trigger new capital panic, and MSBT's small net inflow means the market has not entered full panic selling.
Crypto market data and market share indicate that market sentiment remains stable, trading volume has decreased rather than increased, and the market has not experienced new selling pressure due to the interest rate hike. Total capital has not changed significantly, with USDT/USDC showing a slight net outflow, which is clearly weaker than Wednesday's outflow. Overall, the situation looks good.
Phase summary:
It is clear that after the interest rate hike, both ETF and crypto market data performed well without panic, and net capital outflows have gradually narrowed, showing slightly stabilized market sentiment.
Of course, the slowdown in net capital outflows does not mean a market trend reversal; it only proves that short-term panic selling has paused. Due to the temporary setback of the clear bill, the market rebound is obviously weak, and it is expected to maintain a period of oscillation and correction to build confidence. #美国加密税收与BTC储备法案获推进 ZEC just surged past the $1,400 mark, putting Hyperliquid's largest ZEC short seller — wallets linked to Garrett Jin, agent of the "BTC OG Insider Whale" — under heavy pressure, with unrealized losses on their short positions now widening to $28 million. The short position is currently valued at $53M, with an average entry price of just $665.85 and an estimated liquidation price around $2,631. Notably, the entity added another 5,000 ZEC in shorts last night at $1,252.5 each (~$6.26M) — doubling $BTC is permission. Without a higher-timeframe hold, $ETH duration and $DOGE/$ZEC beta are just borrowed volatility.
Trade expansion only after BTC accepts a level, not after one wick. Acceptance beats prediction.Ethereum $ETH has climbed toward $2,455, but the rebound is still meeting selling pressure. After the latest push higher, price pulled back instead of breaking cleanly through resistance. Meanwhile, $BTC is still moving inside a relatively tight range around $75,200–$77,000. 👊 Yesterday, my $2,400 ETH short before the Fed meeting got stuck again. 😭 We had three scenarios in mind: 1️⃣ Rate hike → sharp sell-off 📉 2️⃣ Rate hike → market rebounds 📈 3️⃣ No hike → market rallies 🚀 But the actual$BTC $ETH $ZEC 🔥 $BTC / $ETH｜Two assets, two different recovery logics
Although Bitcoin and Ethereum both belong to crypto assets, there are obvious differences in asset recovery and security mechanisms.
🟠 BTC: The core lies in key control
Access to Bitcoin assets mainly depends on the private key. As long as users can securely recover valid signing credentials, they have the opportunity to regain control of the corresponding unspent transaction outputs (UTXOs).
🔵 ETH: More diverse recovery methods
The Ethereum ecosystem not only relies on traditional private keys but also combines smart contracts to implement social recovery, guardian mechanisms, multi-signature authorization, and account abstraction solutions, providing users with more asset control paths.
💡 The new value lies in: asset security is shifting from "keeping private keys" to "designing recovery mechanisms."
Future digital asset management is not just about preventing key loss but more importantly about establishing a system that can safely recover accounts after unexpected events.
#美联储三年来首次加息25个基点 #美国加密税收与BTC储备法案获推进 #长端美债5%会成新常态吗？ Privacy in Zcash $ZEC is often perceived as an end in itself or a panacea. In reality, its significance is much broader.
Privacy provides choice, but more importantly — it creates fungibility and a safe haven necessary for a true digital store of value.
Internet money by default has a history. This means that one coin can potentially differ from another due to previous transactions.
Imagine the government has designated certain addresses as undesirable.
Coins that once passed through them may attract attention for years, even though the current owner has no connection to that.
The money you receive should not carry the "baggage" of previous owners.
Cash does not have this problem. It does not retain a public history of every owner, which supports fungibility and liquidity.
Even gold and other assets have historically been moved to jurisdictions with banking secrecy precisely to protect privacy.
Zcash scales this property to a global level. Now, access to financial privacy requires only the internet and cryptographic keys.
So even if you personally do not need Zcash privacy, it remains a fundamental feature of a better digital monetary asset — alongside protection against quantum threats and improved performance.
This is how technology works: it scales advantages that were previously available only to a limited circle of people.
And the potential market for this principle is trillions of dollars.$ONE — The fact that fees didn’t collapse after hitting the cap suggests the fees aren’t simply being used to lure buyers in.
If that’s the case, the divergence between the spot and futures prices could simply be the result of whales aggressively sweeping the spot market while retail traders keep shorting futures.
If this dynamic continues, $ONE might not pull back anytime soon. 👀
#美联储三年来首次加息25个基点 🔷 AI took money from crypto and handed the keys to hackers
• Head of Phemex: AI is a downside for crypto
• Liquidity moved to stocks and AI projects
• July: $116M BTC taken from Coldcard — vulnerability found by AI
• Protection is unaffordable for small teams
🧠 Paradox: says the exchange head whose platform switched to AI in February. AI finds holes faster than auditors — self-preservation and DeFi become a luxury. Those who don’t pay for protection hand over keys to custodians. Decentralization leads to centralization through the cost of security.
$BTC The unassuming pawn in the center of the chessboard is deciding the fate of the entire endgame—when S&P Global reaches into the on-chain data layer, what I see is not just a financing round, but a sacrifice move calculated twenty steps ahead.
A $110 million Series B round, led by veteran players in the index and rating systems, with co-investors including BNP Paribas, Nasdaq Ventures, a compliance platform venture fund, DRW, Royal Bank of Canada, and Stellar. This is not an endgame assembled by retail investors; it’s a coordinated advance of the entire pawn chain. Every piece lands on the same square: pricing and compliance data for the tokenized market.
I’m most familiar with this kind of position. A grandmaster never panics in the midgame because by the fifth move of the opening, they have already seen the squares of the endgame. The nonstop 24/7 on-chain matching forces the entire game to change its timing rules—closing prices, T+2 settlement, night trading halts—all invalidated. Without continuous pricing, there is no valuation anchor; without a valuation anchor, the entire compliance and risk control defense line is wide open.
So this round is truly betting not on the player Kaiko, but on who will be the scorekeeper on this chessboard. Index providers want to control the game, banks want to control the game, market makers and trading firms want to control the game. Whoever holds the source data for on-chain pricing holds the key to scaling RWA transformations. I’ve seen too many boards: the side controlling the center square never rushes to exchange pieces; they just make the opponent pay a price for every move.
XSOXL, this highly volatile leveraged instrument, is the weather vane. When heavyweight stocks resonate with on-chain data standards, every pulse leaks secrets—whether institutions are positioning or testing the waters. Leverage tools are never prepared for the endgame; they are the knights in the midgame that can be sacrificed at any time to open a complete line.
The current board is a typical closed-center opening. Traditional capital hasn’t truly committed yet; the pawn chain on the data layer has just reached the fifth rank. Whoever sets up the cannon first will gain a half-square advantage after exchanging pieces. Half a square, in top-level matches, is the difference between winning and losing.
I never make moves based on the headline; I watch who is drawing the lines on the board. This round of financing has drawn the line on the data layer—not custody, not clearing, but pricing. Pricing power is the only king in this endgame. #spgloballeadskaikoroundFirst, early this morning Beijing time, the FOMC unanimously raised rates by 25 basis points to 3.75%–4.00%. The pre-meeting market pricing had already reached 92.4%, so the boot landing = all the negative news has been released. The dot plot is hawkish: By the end of 2026, the median interest rate will rise from 3.8% to 4.1%, and 16 out of 18 officials who submitted forecasts believe there will be at least another hike within the year. Second, what truly turned the market positive was oil prices. Saudi Aramco aims to restore 50% of its capacity in the east-west pipeline within days and fully repair it within six weeks. Brent crude fell over 3% intraday, and WTI once dropped to around $95. Oil prices weaken ➡️, inflation expectations cool ➡️. The 10-year US Treasury yield fell from yesterday's closing 5.021% tonight to 4.944%, falling back below 5%. The 30-year Treasury fell 5 basis points ➡️. Risk appetite is back. So tonight, the Nasdaq rose over 1%, Philadelphia Semiconductor jumped 3%, and even gold climbed 2.6% to $4,375—gold rose instead of falling on rate hike day, and this chain was at work. But don't take it as a reversal: interest rate swaps have already been priced in three more times before mid-next year, one more than before the decision; The probability of a rate hike in October is 49.8%, holding steady at 50.2%, basically a 50-50 split, and the Bank of Japan will be tomorrow. My judgment is: the key to this rebound is oil, not currency. Oil prices have rebounded, and the rebound ended on the spot. Do you think this wave of oil prices is just a false positive news, or has inflation truly peaked? Let's talk in the comments. #美联储 #油价 #Going long gets punished by sudden downside wicks. Flip short, and the market rips higher and squeezes you out. Price keeps chopping both sides of the range while traders burn capital, patience, and confidence. So where is the real problem? Maybe the market has already absorbed most of the bearish catalysts everyone was waiting for. The two major risks on the radar were the U.S. CLARITY Act and a potential Fed tightening move. Now both events have arrived—but instead of triggering the massive ca$LIT perpetual 50x long position, entered at 3.7876, target 4.8153, floating profit +1356.66%. Funding rate was extremely negative before opening the position, shorts were overly crowded.
I lightly reversed to long at 3.7876 with a stop loss at 3.7. The rebound precisely triggered the short stop-loss orders, creating a short squeeze spiral upward.
Strictly controlling 2% position size at 50x leverage. Now pushing the trailing stop to protect profits. Extreme negative funding rate easily causes short squeeze, light position reversal with loss. $ONE $XRP #美联储三年来首次加息25个基点 The most interesting thing right now isn't how much ZEC has risen.
It's that BTC hasn't moved much, and ZEC has already started to grab funds.
BTC is currently around $76.3K, XRP about $1.30, SOL is approaching $100 again; ZEC surged about 23% at one point today, directly hitting a new high. (CoinDesk)
In this market, I only focus on 3 details:
BTC
Holding steady around $76K without breaking down indicates that large funds haven't clearly withdrawn for now.
The quick rebound after a dip is actually worth noting.
XRP
$1.30 is the current short-term dividing line.
Only when it climbs back above $1.33-$1.35 with increased volume can it be considered truly recovered.
ZEC
Don't chase just because of a big bullish candle.
If it breaks through around $1,400 with volume and then the pullback can hold $1,380-$1,400, that's the secondary opportunity I will pay attention to.
If it surges without volume and then falls back to around $1,350 on the 15-minute chart—
that looks more like profit-taking.
What’s really worth watching now isn’t "which coin is the strongest."
It’s where the money flows after BTC consolidates.
I will keep monitoring the volume and price changes of BTC, XRP, and ZEC, and update immediately if there are clear signals. $BTC $ZEC $XRP From 117 to 150, this is not an expansion; it is a re-evaluation of the load on the original load-bearing structure.
What really alerted me was that early cornerstone investor with 4 billion USD—not adding more investment, but verifying the foundation.
I've worked on super high-rises and know one thing: whether a building can grow taller never depends on how flashy the renderings are, but on how deep the piles are driven, whether the concrete grade of the core tube is sufficient, and how many rounds of wind load simulations have been done. When a company jumps from rocket launches to satellite networking, and then from networking to telecom operations, that’s a structural system change. The original frame and column grid can’t support the new functional zoning and must be redesigned entirely.
Wall Street’s range is from 150 to 300. Such a large variance means what? It means the review opinions are not unified at all. Some calculate based on aerospace manufacturing foundations, some based on telecom operator loads, and others directly apply the standards for computing infrastructure. Three completely different structural codes, so the calculated reinforcement ratios naturally differ drastically.
The key question is: what exactly is the building’s business type? If it’s a hybrid of space and telecom, then it’s a heavy-asset, long-cycle, cash-flow-stable infrastructure project, and the valuation logic should focus on revenue per user and spectrum assets. If it’s an AI computing platform, then its value anchor shifts to rack density, power allocation, and cooling capacity—this is a completely different seismic design standard.
I’ve seen too many projects fail due to wavering functional positioning. Without a clear business type, you can’t pre-embed MEP pipelines correctly; the reserved openings are all misplaced, and if you try to change after the main structure is topped out, you can only break beams.
That trillion-level long-term forecast, I interpret it as the floor area ratio limit of a plot of land. The floor area ratio is a ceiling, not a promise. What really determines how tall you can build is the geological survey report beneath the land, whether the developer’s funding chain can last until structural topping out, and whether the general contractor has experience with projects of the same scale. The white paper is the design drawing; delivery capability is the completion filing.
Now the secondary market price is tracking the target price closely; this is not a signal of upward breakout, but a posture that the main structure is topped out, the curtain wall is going up, and acceptance is about to begin. What is most feared at the acceptance stage? Funding chain break and functional changes.
What you really need to watch is not the number in the model, but the pouring records: the pace of satellite orbit insertion, the amortization curve of single launch costs, the deployment speed of ground stations and user terminals. These are the strength reports of the concrete test blocks.
The value of a building is not on the drawings, but in the foundation. #hsbcraisesspacextargetThe sharp drop in $BTC is just to create panic. I still believe it will form a higher low before launching the next wave up to 90K. However, this move may not start directly from the current shadow.
Usually, after a strong market rally, consolidation occurs to establish a range and accumulate liquidity. Then, once truly ready to continue rising, the price will drop sharply below the range's low point, shaking out longs to create a false waterfall effect for shorts, before reversing upward.
A similar structure was seen in 2023: BTC rebounded from 16K to 24K, pulled back to 19K, then continued rising to 30K. That final sell-off marked the higher low before the next major rally.
That's why I think it might be too early for BTC to head straight to 90K. The current low may hold as support, but it might not be the final low of the range. There could be longer consolidation within the range until a real sell-off shadow appears, possibly dropping to the 70K–68K lows, which would be the bottom before the rise.
Think about it: could this be institutions manipulating behind the scenes, deliberately creating panic to accumulate at low prices? Another common strategy is to first break above the range high to lure traders into going long and build confidence, then sharply reverse to the lows. Will it happen again? We'll wait and see.
This article is a sharing of experience and does not constitute investment advice.Here’s a more natural, emotional version that keeps the trading lesson and avoids overhyping the next move: $ETH — From +300% to a 100% Loss 😭 I have to be honest with myself: last night, when ETH dropped near $2,366, my position was up around 300% — and I still didn’t close it. Now that same trade is sitting at roughly a 100% loss. I was firmly bearish and expected a deeper correction, but the market refused to follow the bearish setup. Instead, ETH bounced hard today. The painful lesson? BeinSaudi Arabia has resumed the East-West oil pipeline, redirecting the affected crude back to the market. This is indeed a short-term bearish factor for crude oil, but I think it’s too simplistic to interpret this as "Saudi Arabia resuming = oil prices will crash."
The latest news shows that Saudi Arabia is restoring the crucial East-West pipeline, causing the market to decline for two consecutive days; Brent crude fell about 3% at one point today, with the latest reported price around $102.72 per barrel, and WTI around $100.47 per barrel.
My understanding of this market movement:
First layer: The short-term bearish impact has already been priced in by the market.
Saudi pipeline restoration → market concerns about "prolonged supply disruption" ease → risk premium is unwound.
So if you see oil prices dropping quickly because of "imminent restoration," this logic holds. Today's price action already reflects this.
Second layer: The real key is not "whether the pipeline can be repaired," but "how much production capacity can actually be restored."
Current reports indicate Saudi Arabia hopes to restore about half of the pipeline capacity within a few days, with full restoration possibly taking longer; meanwhile, Saudi is also trying to reroute crude through Oman and other routes to ease export pressure.
So the market is effectively trading three variables:
- Pipeline restoration speed
- Actual traffic volume through the Strait of Hormuz
- Whether Russian and other Middle Eastern supplies continue to be disrupted
The third factor is very important. Even if Saudi Arabia recovers, if other regions continue to cut supply, oil prices may not smoothly decline. The latest IEA monthly report still considers current Middle East supply risks as a key market variable. IEA
If you only look at the market, I would focus on $100.
Currently, Brent is around $102–105, WTI near $100. Reuters
My approach is not to guess a specific top or bottom, but to watch:
Brent:
- Falling below 100 → the market may further price in "supply restoration + risk premium decline"
- Finding support near 100 → indicates the market is still pricing Middle East risk
- Rebounding back to 105–110 → suggests that the bearish impact of "Saudi restoration" alone is insufficient, and the market is resuming trading supply risks
Especially note: Diesel is currently tighter than crude itself. Reuters mentioned today that Middle East conflicts and disruptions at Russian refineries have significantly tightened diesel supply, with European and American diesel futures even hitting record levels. Reuters
So this time, an interesting structure may emerge:
Crude ↓, but refined products/diesel remain strong.
This means you can’t judge the entire energy market’s supply and demand just by WTI/Brent price movements.
As for your saying "life depends entirely on acting skills,"
this metaphor is quite fitting 😂.
In the energy market, the phrase "imminent restoration" and "how much actual production has been restored" are two different things. What the market really cares about are shipment volumes, pipeline flow, inventories, and actual vessel traffic through Hormuz—not statements at press conferences.
So I now tend to interpret this news as:
Short term: suppresses oil prices.
Mid term: depends on actual restoration volume.
The real determinants of the next wave’s direction: Hormuz + Saudi restoration speed + Russian supply.
If you are watching crude futures/domestic SC crude, I can also break down for you directly based on **"SC 260x support, resistance, and how $100 Brent corresponds to the domestic market."** ARB at $0.16, what are you still waiting for?
First, look at the surface: it has risen 100%, but those chasing the high are all trapped.
ARB climbed from the 2026 low of 0.07 all the way to 0.174, doubling in 30 days, marking the strongest rebound in nearly a year. Market cap returned to $1.1 billion, with a clear increase in 24-hour trading volume. Price stands above the 50/100/200-day moving averages, with a golden cross in the moving averages, RSI between 52-66, the trend has turned bullish, and pullbacks are opportunities.
First thing: Standard Chartered seriously priced ARB for the first time.
Standard Chartered Bank covered ARB for the first time, giving a $10 target for 2030, with the path: 0.50 by the end of 2026 → 1.50 in 2027 → gradually rising year by year thereafter.
Arbitrum is no longer just the "L2 that airdrops tokens"; it is becoming the infrastructure for TradFi on-chain. Robinhood Chain uses its tech stack, tokenized stocks, RWA, institutional settlements—all running on it.
This Standard Chartered report revalues ARB from an "L2 governance token" to "TradFi chain infrastructure."
Second thing: It has started collecting "tolls from others."
How did Arbitrum make money before? Gas fees on its own chain.
Now it’s different. After Orbit chain launched, others using its tech stack to launch chains must pay licensing fees.
Robinhood Chain runs on Arbitrum’s technology → Arbitrum collects fees
Other projects wanting to copy the model → also have to pay
Revenue structure changed from "only collecting gas" to "collecting gas + rent."
DAO’s revenue in the first half of the year was about $6.19 million, with very high gross margins.
Third thing: Technically it just broke through, but there’s a sword hanging overhead.
Good signals:
- Volume breakout above old resistance at 0.15-0.157
- Price above 50/100/200-day moving averages, moving averages turning bullish
- Rebounded from 0.07 to over 0.16, a 30-day increase of over 100%
- Perpetual funding rate slightly negative, indicating no excessive leverage on the long side, healthy structure
Bad signals:
- Above 0.17, all are upper shadows, every attempt to break higher is rejected
- About 92.6 million ARB unlocking around mid-September, circulating supply continues to dilute
- Daily MACD histogram weakening, momentum fading on the rally
- ARB does not pay gas (gas is still ETH), token capture ability is relatively indirect
Long-short battle, judge for yourself:
On one side:
- Standard Chartered’s first coverage, $10 target for 2030
- Robinhood Chain + AEP revenue sharing, real income story
- Price above all moving averages, doubled in 30 days, trend turned bullish
- Funding rate slightly negative, no crowded longs
- RWA/tokenization deployment ahead, strong institutional narrative
On the other side:
- 92.6 million tokens unlocking in September, selling pressure looming
- Dense upper shadows above 0.17, fierce profit-taking
- Historical high 2.39, now 0.16, down 93%, massive trapped positions
- ARB does not capture gas fees, valuation relies on indirect logic of "sharing profits after ecosystem growth"
- Altcoin season not fully opened, BTC dominance at 57%, ARB can only follow the rise
Trading strategy
Spot/Mid-term:
- Position control at 10%-20% of total holdings, staggered
- First batch: 0.155-0.160
- Second batch: 0.145-0.150
- Third batch (defensive): 0.132-0.140
- Targets: first 0.19-0.20, second 0.24-0.26
- Stop loss: daily close below 0.128-0.132
Short-term (3-5x):
- Bullish bias: wait for pullback to 0.158-0.161 to stabilize and buy low, stop loss below 0.154, targets 0.170/0.174 with partial profit-taking. Only hold remaining if volume confirms above 0.174, aiming for 0.188-0.20.
- Bearish bias: if it stalls at 0.172-0.175 with long upper shadows and low volume, lightly short with stop loss above 0.178, targets 0.162/0.156.
You don’t not know ARB has a story; you just didn’t dare buy at 0.07, didn’t dare chase at 0.16, and will break your leg when it hits 0.50.
Institutions price seriously for the first time, retail always hesitates.
By the time you understand, the price is no longer yours.
Buy in batches below 0.16, it’s a position for swing trading.
Chasing above 0.17 is carrying others’ gains.
Hold above 0.155, structure remains; break below 0.148, short-term bulls admit defeat.
At 0.16, do you dare to buy? $BTC $ETH $ARB I’d tighten the claims slightly: the two bills advanced through House committees, but they are not law yet, and the reserve bill should not be described as already putting BTC on the same institutional footing as gold. 🇺🇸 Two Crypto Bills Move Forward The crypto policy picture shifted quickly this week. After the CLARITY Act stalled in the Senate, two other bills advanced in the House. The Digital Asset Tax Certainty Act passed Ways & Means 38–5, aiming to clarify digital-asset taxation, repo$UNI's independence is a rare commodity in the broader environment: it still rose on the night of the rate hike, and the RSI hasn't reached overbought yet.
In this round of Robinhood chain explosion, Uniswap is one of the biggest implicit beneficiaries. It now contributes more than half of Uniswap's trading volume, and Uniswap Labs has directly invested in $PONS, the launchpad, effectively entering the competition for ecosystem dominance in person.
Tokenized stock daily trading on the Base chain broke 100 million, with Uniswap v4 handling about 139 million in traffic; combined with the single-day burn record of 186,000 tokens set in June, the "real revenue + real burn" revaluation logic is still expanding.
The technical consensus level is 6.70: today it touched a high of 6.893 but was pushed back, indicating selling pressure above. It has roughly doubled in 30 days, so the valuation is not cheap, and a pullback could come at any time. Everyone should be aware of the risks. Just came across key news: oil prices have started to decline.
There is progress reported on the repair of the oil pipeline attacked in Saudi Arabia, with officials stating they aim to restore half of the capacity within a few days and achieve full repair within six weeks. There is no official confirmation of actual resumed flow yet, but the market has already priced in this expectation.
On September 16, WTI crude oil plunged 3.2%, falling back to around $102, and Brent crude closed below $106. This is the first significant downward movement in oil prices since the recent geopolitical shock.
An interesting detail: just the day before, the Middle East spot market was still frantically buying, with Oman crude trading at a premium of nearly $24 over Brent, marking a new high since March. After the spot premium peaked, the futures market followed with weakness.
This also indicates that the market had already fully priced in the panic over supply disruption, and once signals of pipeline repair appear, the geopolitical risk premium begins to quickly dissipate.
From a crypto perspective, the oil price decline is a somewhat positive signal. Falling oil prices will cool inflation expectations and reduce the urgency for the Federal Reserve to continue aggressive rate hikes. Recently, long-term US Treasury yields have remained stubbornly above 5%, heavily suppressing risk assets; the oil price drop can at least alleviate some macroeconomic pressure.
However, one must stay clear-headed in trading and not take the oil price decline as a direct trend reversal.
The pipeline has not truly resumed flow yet, and the Middle East situation remains uncertain. It is not too late to make judgments after actual progress and genuine easing of the situation. At this stage, watching more and acting less is much safer than blind moves. $BTC $ETH $ZEC Here’s a cleaner, more personal version that keeps the lesson and trading focus: $ZEC — Two Shorts, Same Lesson 😭 Short #1: entered around $822, held for months, then finally cut the loss. Short #2: entered near $816… and $ZEC kept climbing. The lesson is simple: don’t blindly short strength just because you expect a reversal. Even with elevated rate-hike expectations, the market refused to break down. This time, no guessing. I’m watching $816 closely and letting price confirm the next move. The Federal Reserve just raised rates by 25bp, and BTC only rose less than 1%.
ZEC surged +23% directly.
Currently around $1,369, even hitting a new high.
What's more interesting is that Paradigm co-founder Matt Huang publicly said today:
Paradigm holds ZEC.
And he directly called Zcash "Bitcoin's privacy complement."
This explains why funds suddenly focused on ZEC today.
But don't forget the other two coins:
BTC: around $76K
XRP: around $1.30
XRP dropped nearly 8% yesterday, but on September 16, the XRP ETF actually had a net inflow of $3.5 million; during the same period, BTC+ETH ETFs saw outflows of about $520 million.
So the market is actually playing three logics now:
BTC looks at macro, XRP looks at funds, ZEC looks at narrative.
For ZEC, I only watch $1,400 next.
If it breaks through and holds, sentiment may continue to spread.
If it can't break through and quickly falls below $1,300, watch out for profit-taking from high-level funds.
I will continue to monitor the funds and key price levels of these coins.
Before the market truly kicks off, usually not all coins move together.The most dangerous thing on the chessboard is not being in check, but the opponent thinking you are in check. $YGG is exactly in this situation— a 6.31% gain pulled out in 24 hours, the short-term RSI hitting a severe overbought zone at 74.3, the price clinging to the upper Bollinger Band, with a position reading of 102%, meaning the current price is already beyond the upper band, leaving only -0.1% breathing room above. This is not the start of a major uptrend; it’s a trap to lure buyers and abandon pieces.
My midgame judgment is clear: the long-term RSI is only 38.6, still hovering in a neutral to slightly cold zone, indicating this rally is a short, isolated strike lacking support from larger cycle forces. The Bollinger Band mid-cycle position is 71%, with the price stretched 3.1% above the middle band, a structure known in endgames as a "rootless soldier." The opponent stacks forces openly, but I intend to pull back.
A true chess player never chases highs, only moves when the opponent shows a flaw. There’s still 3.8% space above the current price before reaching my preset entry point, which is the pivot for the bears to counterattack, not a reason to chase longs. At this moment, sentiment indicators are driven by greed, with fast money grabbing the last half pawn, while I calculate the next three steps: pullback, breach, and retreat.
📉 Short:
Entry: 0.02 (current price +3.8%)
Take Profit 1: 0.02 (-10.4%)
Take Profit 2: 0.02 (-7.8%)
Stop Loss: 0.02 (-16.2%)
The stop loss is set at 16.2%, not because I’m afraid, but because every endgame on the board must leave room to sacrifice pieces. The first target corresponds to a 10.4% drop from entry, the second at 7.8%, representing the sequence of the opponent’s defensive collapse. The overbought RSI at 74.3 combined with the extreme Bollinger Band reading of 102% is a classic top structure signal; once the hourly candle closes with a long upper shadow, the midgame initiative completely changes hands.
Remember, a grandmaster doesn’t win by luck but by turning every opponent’s move into their own prediction. In this game of $YGG, the bulls have already exposed their king’s wing within the range of my rook and cannon. #strategyplaybookInterest rate hike of 25bp implemented.
But the key point is not the rate hike—it’s the spike at the moment of the hike.
Last night during the decision, BTC showed the largest volume spike on the full chart, plunging to 74,967, then rebounding back to 76,276.
I mentioned the day before yesterday: the first K candle is when liquidity is the worst and false breakouts are most frequent. Those shorting got stopped out right at that spike.
Rate hike implemented = bad news fully priced in. Rebound target is 76,910, support to hold at 74,967.
$BTC #美联储三年来首次加息25个基点 $GIGGLE perpetual 50x short position, opened at 38.09, 34.7, floating profit +444.99%. The order book shows large sell orders above 38, the main force is secretly distributing chips.
I lightly followed the short at 38.09, stop loss at 40. After the main force finished selling, it directly ignited a violent dump. 50x extremely high leverage with strict 2% position control.
Now pushing for protection to lock in profits. Judging the main force by the order book pressure, lightly short after distribution. $ONE $XAU #美联储三年来首次加息25个基点 ZEC has surged to 1430, and market sentiment is already hot. But at times like this, it's important to stay calm and see if you can still buy at this level. Let's look at the technical side first. ZEC has climbed from the $1000 breakout zone all the way to 1430, with a short-term gain of over 40%. The daily RSI is near 69, close to the overbought line, and the weekly RSI has surged above 74. Historically, overbought levels at this level generally correspond to mid-term corrections. Between 1400 and 1500 is indeed a price vacuum zone, with little historical resistance, but a vacuum zone also means no support. Once buying can't keep up, the pullback will be rapid. Below 1300 to 1340 is key structural support; if it falls below here, the lower side is 1250 and 1200. Now let's look at the fundamentals. The core catalyst for this rally is the NU7 governance vote, which has already been implemented: 99.9% support shortening block duration, and 98.9% support retaining the halving mechanism. After voting, positive news has materialized, but it will take time from voting to actual deployment, so there is nothing new to speculate on in the short term. Although Grayscale Zcash's ETF holdings exceed $600 million, the marginal growth has weakened after the initial allocation demand was concentrated. The public holding by the Paradigm co-founder was indeed a shot in the arm, but the impact of this news is impulsive and will not continuously provide buying interest. The liquidity side is even more worth watching. ZEC futures open interest has risen to $2.2 billion, a 24-hour increase close to 38%. Futures trading volume has surged to about $12.1 billion, while spot volume is only $1.3 billion, with leverage clearly amplifying thisThis chart is not a load-bearing wall, but an external curtain wall—looking shiny from afar, but the anchor points are all suspended when viewed up close. $WOO is currently in this state: it rose 6.08% in 24 hours, pushing the price to the 110% overbound area of the Bollinger Band middle track, with the short-term position at 92% hugging the upper band, leaving only 0.7% margin. This is not a structural breakthrough; it is an overhanging overload, easily shaken by the wind.
My structural reading is as follows: the short-term RSI has surged to 73.1, indicating clear overbought; the long-term RSI is at 61.7 in the neutral zone, showing this is not a main upward wave but a local additional layer. The middle track at 110% means the price has run out of the envelope band; any compliant structural audit knows—after crossing the boundary, a pullback is inevitable. There is an 8.9% gap to the lower band, which is the range of gravitational effect.
I have worked on many high-rise projects, and the biggest taboo is continuing to pile load on an unreinforced floor slab. At this position, entering is like pouring concrete on a cantilevered eave suspended in mid-air. The real construction window is after the pullback.
📉 Short:
Entry: 0.01 (current price +3.7%)
Take Profit 1: 0.01 (-10.9%)
Take Profit 2: 0.01 (-7.5%)
Stop Loss: 0.02 (-15.1%)
The take profit targets are set in two tiers because the first corresponds to the lower band support area, and the second corresponds to the middle band return level. The stop loss is placed outside at +15.1% to allow some structural tolerance—if it really breaks through, it means my load model was wrong, and I will exit immediately without a second build.
But I want to make it clear: the foundation of this asset is not on the price chart but in the construction instructions of the whitepaper. What truly determines how tall a building can be built is the pile foundation depth, load-bearing wall reinforcement ratio, and whether the developer has the capacity for continuous construction. The market is just the reflective glass of the facade, which can fool passersby’s eyes but not the surveyor’s total station. The current volatility of $WOO falls within the margin of error between the blueprint and the site, not a fundamental revaluation of the structure itself.
My judgment: short-term fluctuations are temporary support scaffolding, which will be removed. Wait for the real pullback to be in place before discussing whether to pile the foundation. #coinmovealertReview Notes
I've decided: no more short selling, only focus on going long.
I used to want to do both long and short, thinking I could make double the profit from one market move. But in the end, I realized this was just a greedy illusion. When trying to think about both long and short strategies simultaneously, my mind has to distinguish between two levels and two turning points at once. When the market moves quickly, it's impossible to keep up, and my thinking easily gets confused.
The reason I was able to consistently profit before was because I had a thorough understanding of bullish markets. When focusing on the long side, I only needed to calmly observe the larger timeframes, look for bottom entry points, identify bottoming structures, and wait for major buying opportunities at large-scale bottoms. All my thinking was concentrated on one thing, so my level judgments were naturally accurate, and my execution efficiency and win rate were high.
Once I added short selling, everything changed.
My mind was searching for bottom entry points to go long while also watching for high-level shorting turning points. Two sets of cycles and two sets of emotional nodes intertwined, making it easy to mistake minor small-level or end-of-trend ripples for big opportunities to act. Short selling itself is not my strength; when faced with violent reverse rallies, my mindset easily loses control, I hesitate to cut losses, and a single trade can wipe out the profits accumulated from the previous ten trades.
By only keeping long positions, my thinking becomes simpler and purer. I don't have to be distracted by studying high-level turning points, only focusing on one thing: distinguishing cycle levels and waiting for major bottom buy signals. I don't have to switch back and forth between long and short mindsets, and I won't be disturbed by the market's back-and-forth fluctuations, so my judgments become more focused. How to emerge from a major bull market in a rising interest rate environment? BTC has been fluctuating around 80,000 for a full three weeks
Many people have a fixed perception: rising interest rates = bear market for crypto, lowering interest rates = major bull market.
But history tells us that interest rates and market trends are not simply unidirectionally linked. Even during a rate hike cycle, significant rallies can occur, with two fundamental conditions at the core.
BTC has been consolidating around the 80,000 mark for three weeks, essentially reflecting the market repeatedly testing whether these conditions can be fulfilled in a high interest rate environment.
1. The rate hike expectation is fully priced in advance
If the market predicted this rate hike early and prices dropped in advance, then when the Federal Reserve officially raises rates, the negative impact is already absorbed.
The market downturn is not caused by the rate hike itself, but by hawkish statements that exceed market expectations.
If this rate hike is the 25 basis points the market already anticipated, with no additional increases, then after the event, capital inflows are more likely.
The current three-week consolidation is the market digesting rate hike risks and embedding expectations into prices ahead of time.
2. Independent incremental capital to hedge the cash-draining effect of high interest rates
High interest rates increase the cost of holding capital, but if independent long-term funds continue to enter, they can push the market up against the trend.
For BTC, this corresponds to continuous net inflows into spot ETFs.
Interest rates determine the opportunity cost of capital; ETFs determine whether new off-exchange funds enter the market.
As long as institutional allocation funds keep flowing in, even if interest rates remain high, they can absorb selling pressure from holders above and push prices higher. Conversely, if ETFs continue to see net outflows, no matter how good the narrative, a major bull market is hard to sustain.$ZEC brothers, many people see that short positions on ZEC account for 80% and think it will drop, but they got it wrong!
When shorts cluster, it’s actually easier to trigger a short squeeze. Many short positions have stop losses; once the price pulls up, shorts closing their positions become buy orders, which will push the market further up.
Only if the market directly falls and longs get liquidated will the price crash.
Currently, the funding rate is negative, so shorts have to keep paying funding fees, making the cost of holding positions increasingly high.
Position data can only be used as a reference; contract trading carries significant risk.There are three coins in the market right now, each with completely different sentiment:
BTC: around $76K
XRP: around $1.30
ZEC: around $1,370
BTC is waiting for direction, XRP is waiting for funds.
ZEC has already started to steal the spotlight.
ZEC has risen over 2,300% in the past year, with a 24H trading volume of about $2.6 billion. (BIT)
At this moment, what’s most worth watching isn’t whether to chase or not.
Instead, it’s:
Can ZEC hold $1,350?
Will it continue to increase volume after breaking through $1,400?
Can XRP reclaim $1.40?
If ZEC remains strong and XRP also starts to increase volume, it indicates that funds are beginning to flow from BTC to high-volatility coins.
But if BTC falls below $75K, this altcoin strength can easily become the last wave of sentiment.
BTC watches direction, XRP watches funds, ZEC watches sentiment. $ZEC While $ZEC hit an all-time high, the expected doubts were not absent—F2Pool's founder directly named names: 20% of the block rewards from the first four years went straight into the pockets of the founding team and early investors, consuming 10% of the total supply. This is not a "fair issuance" story; it's the real money buying from ETF, hardware wallet partnerships, and short squeeze that forcibly covered up the narrative's flaws.
$ZEN's 11% rise is not its own market movement; it's a tailwind ride following the privacy coin sector being lifted by ZEC, with no independent catalyst. A fast rise could also mean an equally fast fall.
If privacy is truly Zcash's moat, why is shielded address still not the default option, and why do most assets remain on transparent addresses?
#ZEC刷新历史新高，NU7升级预期受关注 $ONE is screwed, the more you walk by the river, the more likely your shoes get wet.
A few days ago, I shorted $IOST and $ZIL and got results, then today I saw ONE surge sharply and decisively shorted it again.
Unexpectedly, I got trapped immediately. Normally, I wouldn’t be this scared, but at 4 PM tomorrow, the ONE contract trading pair will be delisted.
If it’s still at a floating loss by then, it will be automatically liquidated. I originally planned to do a short-term short and close it before going to bed. Now I feel like I’ve been targeted by a manipulative whale; the whale probably intends to hang all the shorts and wait for the automatic liquidation tomorrow.
If that’s really the case, it’s painful—there’s nothing to do but watch the position lose and get liquidated.
#美联储三年来首次加息25个基点
#美国加密税收与BTC储备法案获推进
#长端美债5%会成新常态吗？ There are two coins to watch tonight that I think are worth keeping an eye on:
XRP + CORE
XRP is currently around $1.30. After being hit by the CLARITY Act earlier, ETF funds are still flowing in.
CORE is even more interesting:
Current price is about $0.0185, 24H +2.5%, 24H trading volume about $3.1M.
But it just experienced validator reward anomalies a few days ago, and even saw exchanges restrict CORE transfers.
Now the price is actually starting to recover from around $0.0175.
So I will watch:
XRP: $1.30 → $1.40
CORE: $0.018 → $0.020
If both positions can break out with volume, it indicates the market is starting to look for high-elasticity targets again.
But if BTC falls below $75K, rebounds in both coins should be approached cautiously.
BTC decides the direction, XRP reflects sentiment, CORE reflects elasticity. $LSK current price is 0.4844, with the first resistance above at 0.5282 (MA20), and support below at 0.3783 (Bollinger lower band). The key pivot point between bulls and bears is at 0.4879 (MA5). These three price levels determine the direction of short-term trading.
First, let's see where the funds are positioning. LSK has plunged 23.49% in 24h, with a trading volume of 65.9M USDT, indicating a high-volume sell-off. The moving average MA5=0.48786 has fallen below MA20=0.52823, the MACD histogram is -0.006003 maintaining a bearish stance, and RSI=42.9 has not yet entered the oversold zone, indicating that selling pressure has not been fully released. But the key signal lies in the funding rate: -0.4527%, which is a deep negative value, meaning shorts are paying longs. Such an extreme negative funding rate often appears at the end of panic selling, with overcrowded shorts; once the price stabilizes, it is prone to trigger a short squeeze rebound, meaning the risk of a spike upwards is accumulating. The Bollinger Bands [0.378258, 0.678202] are extremely wide, with a 30-candle amplitude of 86.91%, volatility has reached an extreme level, making chasing shorts very low in cost-effectiveness.
My judgment is a short-term bullish rebound, based on the triple resonance of negative funding rate + support at the Bollinger lower band + RSI near the oversold zone, but this is a counter-trend rebound rather than a trend reversal, so it is not advisable to hold positions below MA20.This article answers the questions from the previous post and provides a brief categorization. Follow-up market views - The market started falling at the end of September last year, and now at this point, a year has already passed. From the chart and time perspective, the market is still relatively low, so it is unlikely that large short positions will be placed on mainstream coins in the future. Waiting for opportunities to gradually increase is better if not found. - Looking back at the market over the past few years, there are always three or four smooth trend waves each year. If you can fully absorb one or two rallies a year and control drawdowns, that would be great. This is my goal: patiently waiting for the next opportunity - controlling drawdowns. Three points I can think of and strive for: 1. Reduce leverage, or even no leverage at all. 2. Use isolated margins, including self-loss. 3. Reduce trading frequency - how small funds are made, how to control positions, how to manage funds. When funds are small, you have to wait for trend markets; fluctuating markets don't make big money. Leverage is definitely necessary. When I started doing it, I used 5-10x cross-margin leverage. Since you have leverage, you also need to keep stopping losses and keep trying and making mistakes. The downside of this approach is obvious: if you keep trying to stop losses and the trend doesn't come in, then you have no choice but to quit. You have to do your best and leave the rest to fate. The best way to manage funds is to segregate funds, open isolated margin orders, don't put all your money into trading accounts, operate multiple accounts/exchanges, withdraw on time - fees and open trades yourselfToday's market really gave short positions a lesson.
In the early morning, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates by 25 basis points, passing unanimously. I was thinking that after all the bad news, the market should drop a bit, but instead, the market reversed with a broad rally—$BTC directly pulled back above 76000, $ETH also stood back above 2400, the whole market acting like it was on some collective high.
Only after reviewing the market did I understand why bad news didn't cause a drop but a rise: First, the rate hike was already priced in by the market, with expectations over 90% before the meeting, so the actual announcement became a "removal of uncertainty" which was positive; second, although the dot plot said there would be another hike this year, the market had previously priced in nearly four hikes, so the Fed was actually less hawkish and less harsh; plus, concerns about the CLARITY Act in the Senate have temporarily eased, and two other crypto-related bills passed the House committee, so with regulatory expectations loosening, shorts got crushed.
Looking at my positions, my mood was as intense as the market:
The CAP short position was impressive, floating profit of 17.49%, the only saving grace today; the newly opened CNPY short took a small 3% loss, new coins are indeed tough; the most frustrating was FLOCK, which I had just climbed out of the pit and earned over 20 points a few days ago, but this broad rally wiped it out, now floating a 119% loss, buried back in deep water.
So the rate hike was good news for others, but for someone like me fully short, it was a real negative. Two of the three shorts are losing, only CAP is still holding strong. No point overthinking it, since the market chose to go up, I just have to accept it and watch.The biggest danger for BTC right now isn't a drop.
It's that funds are starting to "pick coins."
BTC: around $76K
ETH: around $2.4K
XRP: around $1.3
SOL: around $100
After the CLARITY Act setback, XRP once dropped nearly 8%, while BTC only fell about 1.4%. (24/7 Wall St.)
But what's even more unusual is:
On September 16, XRP ETF net inflow was $3.5 million.
On the same day, BTC and ETH ETFs combined saw an outflow of about **$520 million**. (CryptoRank)
So from now on, I’m only watching:
BTC: $75K
XRP: $1.30
ETH: $2.40K
SOL: $100
If BTC holds $75K and XRP climbs back above 1.40, altcoin sentiment might revive.
But if BTC breaks below $75K and XRP can’t even hold $1.30—
This won’t be a catch-up rally, but continued deleveraging.
Tonight, I’m watching the funds first, not the trading calls. BTC is still around $76,000, but XRP is starting to show a very strange signal.
After the setback of the CLARITY Act:
BTC: about $76,000
ETH: about $2,400
XRP: about $1.30
SOL: back above $100
However, the funds are not fully aligned with market cap rankings.
XRP ETF has seen a net inflow of about **$3.5 million** in the past two days, while BTC+ETH ETFs have had a net outflow of about **$1.11 billion** during the same period.
So next, I’m watching three levels:
BTC $75K
XRP $1.30
SOL $100
If BTC holds $75K, XRP climbs back to 1.40, and SOL stays steady at 100, the market might start to reprice "altcoin catch-up".
Conversely, if all three levels break together, don’t rush to buy.
Right now, the most important thing isn’t guessing bull or bear markets, but seeing which one shows a capital reversal first.$BTC has rebounded, but I’m hesitant to interpret this bullish candle as a reversal.
Today BTC returned to around $76,600, and market sentiment is clearly better than yesterday.
The problem is, the capital flow hasn’t improved accordingly.
On September 15, the US BTC spot ETF saw a net outflow of about $450 million, and on September 16, it continued to outflow about $296 million; ETH ETFs also experienced significant outflows during the same period. The combined BTC and ETH ETF outflows over these two days have exceeded $1 billion.
So now there’s a very typical contradiction:
Price rebounds first, but institutional funds haven’t followed yet.
This kind of market is most prone to mistaking a "deep pullback rebound" for a "trend reversal."
I will wait for the ETF outflows to at least stop consecutively before considering this rebound to be higher.
#美联储三年来首次加息25个基点 Although Vitalik says AI won't destroy crypto, there's still a but.
This one has to sound impressive: although underlying cryptography is quite vulnerable to AI breakthroughs, the risk of vulnerabilities at the application layer and infrastructure layer is very high. (As mentioned before)
So, first advice to those still working at traditional audit firms: it's recommended to change jobs early.
The old model of spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to get an audit firm's stamp is just paper-thin in front of AI.
In the future, development teams must conduct audits that fully verify the entire program, including the operating system, hardware layers, and so on. The awkward truth is that many projects simply don't meet this standard, and it's not just a money issue.
Next,
projects that can't keep up with AI security pace will be taken down by hackers or directly killed by AI. Later on, it will suddenly emerge that some project has gone to zero; don't be surprised, even if it's an exchange or a wallet.
Also, some people have started using AI hacker incidents to talk about the Bitcoin market, predicting BTC will be halved within two years.
I don't know if hackers can achieve that, but the current economy still has a pretty good chance of halving Bitcoin in about two years, and it probably won't stop at just halving.
When AI can generate itself, hackers will be delighted; Vitalik is issuing a death notice to protocols that haven't upgraded their AI defenses yet.
I also want to become an AI hacker—it's a goldmine. Does anyone know where to learn?Oh my god! Is it really that strong? $ZEC has hit a new all-time high again and again.
I've been watching it all day today, looking for shorting opportunities because the FOMO is just too strong.
Fortunately, I've been paying close attention to the OI indicator, because throughout the entire rise from yesterday to today, it has been continuously increasing. As the price rises, shorts are constantly being liquidated, but the open interest keeps growing. There is only one possibility: more longs are adding positions, which indicates real capital inflow.
The foundation of this market trend is very solid, so I didn't dare to short. Even now, I'm still looking for opportunities, still hesitating over the OI value, because it rose another 7% today, but the OI value hasn't decreased much.
I estimate the decrease is only from shorts being liquidated; the longs haven't fully exited yet, so I continue to hold on! Continue to watch!
Just my personal opinion, not investment advice!$ZEC The original high point on 9/9 was 1299, which was the highest point until today. At that time, I thought: what if a smart person placed a short order at 1299 with 10x leverage? If they went all in, then for those who have a cost price of 1299 and get liquidated, what price would it need to reach? Considering that the liquidated short orders instantly turn into buy orders, the price could still rise at least another 1%. So 1299 * 1.11 = 1441.89, approximately 1442. Good things don’t work, but bad things are accurate. The new question now is: 1442 * 1.11 = 1600.62. Everyone says: can it reach 1600??? #交易之声：你的经验值得被听到 If I didn’t have real ZEC short positions, would I say this several times a day? I’m really losing badly. I hope future people take me as an example and learn from my caution! Fellow shorts: be careful! Take care! Don’t go all in, don’t gamble your life with high leverage!$BTC After this rate hike, if it can still hold on to 76,000 yuan, I don't think the short-term outlook is that weak.
The Federal Reserve just completed its first rate hike since 2023, with rates rising to 3.75%–4.00%, and 16 officials expect at least another hike within the year. Logically, this is not good news for BTC.
But $BTC is still holding around $76,000, even slightly rising within 24 hours, indicating that the worst-case scenario of "hitting rates and immediately crashing the market" has not yet occurred.
What I am more concerned about now is not the rate hikes themselves, but whether the market has begun to adapt to high interest rates.
If BTC can later regain 77,000–78,000 yuan, this pullback feels more like a repricing; If the rally still fails, we still need to guard against a second dip.
If the negative news has landed and the collapse hasn't collapsed, that's a good thing; But for a real strengthening, price confirmation is still needed.
#美国加密税收与BTC储备法案获推进 The two words "temporary" are very familiar to veteran crypto holders.
The SEC chair said the innovation exemption is temporary, principled, and structured relief. Translated, it means: Let you run a few steps first, but the rope is still in my hand.
My first reaction is not positive; it reminds me of those "pilot programs," "sandboxes," and "transition periods" I've followed before. Every time they say they'll open a small gap first, but the gap has been open for three years, the rules have been revised eight times, and in the end, very few projects survive.
What really hits hard is the phrase "regulatory uncertainty hinders innovation." How many years has this been said? It was said when I entered the circle, and it's still being said now. Is uncertainty really a barrier, or is it a chip some people hold?
How long can this exemption last? Will it be another "loosen first, tighten later" play?
What do you all think?
