What happened to $BTC? Bitcoin plunged sharply to $79,850
Bitcoin just broke below the $80,000 mark, hitting a low of $79,850, down more than 4% in 24 hours.
Behind this plunge are three combined forces squeezing the market:
1. Macro environment cooling — The US-Iran conflict escalated again, oil prices surged, the 10-year US Treasury yield soared to a high of 4.8%, and interest rate pressure severely hit risk assets. Market expectations for a Fed rate hike in September jumped from 35% to 70%.
2. ETF fund outflows — The US spot Bitcoin ETF saw a single-day net outflow as high as $236 million, and Bitcoin's on-chain "apparent demand" indicator turned negative again.
3. Technical resistance — BTC encountered massive selling pressure at the strong resistance level of $82,000, with profit-taking concentrated.
The market is currently awaiting tonight's US August nonfarm payroll data, which will be a key signal to judge the Fed's next move. If the data exceeds expectations, rate hike expectations will further suppress the market; if the data is weak, it may provide a breathing space. Nonfarm payroll data exploded — the market responded with a drop
August added 41,000 jobs, below the expected 53,000. July was revised down from -23,000 to -47,000, and the combined revision for June and July was another 24,000 downward. Employment weakened for two consecutive months, much worse than expected.
September rate hike expectations plummeted from 50.2% to nearly 0. CME shows the first rate cut expectation moved forward from December to November, with the number of rate cuts this year increased from 1 to 2. Treasury yields plunged, the dollar weakened, gold surged to $4382. BTC soared from 77,000 to above 81,000, up more than 4.7%.
The macro logic has completely shifted. The market’s biggest fear before was the "September rate hike" risk, and this data basically eliminated it. The question now is "when will rate cuts come, and how many times."
The bias is bullish, but no chasing the highs tonight; wait for a pullback confirmation before acting. #非农前数据分化，9月加息预期升温 After the release of nonfarm payroll data, Bitcoin plunged below the $80,000 mark After the release of nonfarm payroll data on September 4, Bitcoin plunged rapidly, falling below the $80,000 mark at $79,801.99, a drop of 1.61% in the past hour. Macroeconomic data became the dominant factor for short-term pricing in the crypto market. On September 4, after the release of nonfarm payroll data, Bitcoin plunged rapidly, with its price falling below the $80,000 mark. Market data showed it was quoted at $79,801.99, down 1.61% in the past hour. Nonfarm payrolls are one of the most important macro events each month, directly affecting market judgment of the Federal Reserve's interest rate path: if employment performance exceeds expectations, the market will delay rate cut expectations and raise the interest rate center, putting pressure on risk asset valuations; If the data weakens sharply, it may trigger recession fears and risk aversion. In any case, the moment the data is released, it will cause dramatic volatility. In recent years, with the involvement of institutional funds and ETF channels, the linkage between the crypto market and macro liquidity has significantly increased, and Bitcoin's sensitivity to data such as employment and inflation has increased significantly. This time, Bitcoin plunged rapidly after the data release and fell below $80,000, indicating a bearish market interpretation of the data and a correction in liquidity expectations that are unfavorable for risk assets. As an important psychological threshold and a cluster of chips at $80,000, a break below this level can easily trigger a chain reaction of leveraged long liquidations and stop-loss effects, further amplifying short-term declines. For traders, the timing of the nonfarm payroll release has always been one of the most volatile windows in the crypto market, and this time it exited$CORE Hard Fork Fails to Save CORE – Drops to 0.0214
Core DAO's emergency hard fork was supposed to fix the validator reward exploit. Instead, CORE tanked to 0.0214.
The problem? No transparency — how much was over-issued? Any extra tokens already dumped? No answers. Meanwhile, exchanges suspended withdrawals, freezing liquidity.
Retail investors aren't scared of bad news. They're scared of not knowing how bad it is.
You can patch code. You can't patch trust. The US nonfarm payroll data just came out, and it's not just a general 'better' but significantly higher than the market's original estimate. For ordinary people, this is good news for the US economy. But for the current financial markets, things aren't that simple. Because in recent weeks, the market has been trading a very important logic: US jobs are cooling → Fed pressure is easing, → interest rate expectations are falling → US dollars and US Treasury yields are under pressure, and → $BTC, $ETH, and altcoins are gaining liquidity. Now, the nonfarm payrolls have suddenly been much stronger than expected, which is like a brake on this logic. So tonight, what really matters is not 'whether the nonfarm payrolls are good,' but whether the Fed will need to maintain its easing expectations in September. Previously, the market had been adjusting its September rate expectations due to employment, inflation, and Waller's statements. If strong employment continues to push up the probability of rate hikes, the first reaction is usually a stronger dollar, rising bond yields, and risk assets under pressure. That's why I don't immediately call for a bull market confirmation just because $BTC has just surged to around $82,000. Because yesterday's rally traded "liquidity improvement." Today's nonfarm payrolls suddenly told the market: the US economy may not be as weak as you think. This will force the market to recalculate interest rates. But there's a very crucial detail here. If $BTC can hold above $80,000 or even continue to push above $82,000 after such strong employment data, that would be very significantNon-farm payrolls released, SanDisk rebounds, floating loss shrinks to 71U
Tonight the non-farm payroll data came out, with 41,000 new jobs added, below the expected 53,000, and the previous value was revised down from -23,000 to -47,000. Coupled with wage growth also below expectations, all three data sets point to a cooling labor market. After the data release, rate hike expectations plummeted, the Nasdaq rose 0.45% in the short term, and tech stocks collectively breathed a sigh of relief.
SanDisk also bounced back, reaching a daytime high of 1608, currently closing near 1580. The grid continues to operate, with an average daily arbitrage of 1453 times and cumulative grid earnings of 45U. After adding positions, the holding quantity reached 2 coins, the average opening price dropped from 1665 to 1632, and the floating loss shrank from a peak of -329U to -71U, close to breaking even.
The forced liquidation price is 1056, still far away. Next, observe whether the 1600 level can hold; if it does, the position can turn profitable. No operation tonight, feeling reassured after the data release.
$SNDK AI spending isn’t slowing down — but Wall Street is starting to demand perfection.
Dell, Broadcom, and Snowflake just gave the market three very different signals.
Dell raised full-year revenue guidance from roughly $167B to $192B, while AI server revenue jumped from $60B to $74B. Its AI server orders over the past 12 months have now topped $130B, with $60.9B of orders this quarter and a $95B backlog.

#DailyOrbit Suddenly understood that what Nvidia spent $12.9 billion on was not a model library
but the distribution hub for open-source AI. Hugging Face is like the GitHub for models—uploading, downloading, evaluation, and inference all happen there. Whoever controls this registry stands at the crossroads of the entire open-source ecosystem.
The final agreement was signed on September 2, with a total price of about $12.93 billion, of which about $11.9 billion goes to shareholders, and up to $1 billion is reserved for employee equity retention. The deal is expected to close in the first half of 2027, pending antitrust approvals from the US and Europe, which are still ongoing.
Jensen Huang specifically promised that the platform will remain open, will not force the use of Nvidia hardware, and will support multi-cloud and multiple accelerators. The more concrete this promise is, the more it shows that regulators truly fear vertical integration leading to biased entry points.
The sudden realization is here: chips are already bottlenecked by computing power, and by taking over the neutral hub, Nvidia effectively controls open-source distribution as well. In the short term, this might improve developer experience, but in the long term, pricing power and ranking authority are the real battlegrounds.
This acquisition, on the eve of the nonfarm payroll and FOMC, acts more like a catalyst for risk appetite. NVDA rose about 3%, with tech growth moving together, but regulatory review remains a slow-moving variable.

$BTC $ZEC: Shrinking volume resists decline, is it gathering strength or running out of steam?
From a brief surge from 788 to 842, nearly 40 million in transaction volume sparked some life into the dull market. But the flame didn’t catch; the price quickly fell back to 811, indicating that buyers chasing the high are not eager to fight, and the 842 level has become a new resistance marker.
Interestingly, the pullback happened with low volume. This suggests the selling was not a panic stampede but more like natural profit-taking on short-term gains. Holding steady above 800 actually shows a kind of "support" resilience. But resilience does not equal aggressiveness; under the current volume structure, the price seems more like it’s searching for a liquidity balance point rather than a trend breakout point.
Neither bulls nor bears have shown dominance, and the market has entered a stalemate. In this situation, taking the initiative risks becoming passive; it’s more profitable to wait for the market to choose a direction on its own. The short-term range is 795-805, with a defense line at 842. The strategy remains: no chasing, no killing; give the price enough time to play out, hold coins and watch, and wait for clearer volume and price signals before making decisions. The market is not short on opportunities, but it lacks certainty. The risky, blood-licking moves are left to the experts.
#财报观察员：博通业绩超预期，Snowflake上调指引 Nonfarm payroll data ignites the market: spot gold plunges over $70, dollar index surges to 99.36 After the release of nonfarm payroll data on September 4, market expectations for the Fed's policy path quickly reassessed: spot gold fell over $70 to $4,405/oz, spot silver fell $1.50 to $65.7/oz, and the dollar index DXY rose 34 points to 99.36. The direct trigger for this rally was the release of nonfarm payroll data. From asset price reactions, the dollar index and precious metals showed a typical combination of strong data, a strong dollar, and weak gold, indicating that this nonfarm payroll performance likely exceeded market expectations, reducing bets on short-term Fed rate cuts. Mechanically, nonfarm payroll data is one of the most important observation windows for the Fed's monetary policy. When employment data exceeds expectations, the market tends to believe the Fed faces no urgent pressure to cut rates, nominal rate expectations rise, and if inflation expectations remain largely unchanged, real interest rate expectations will rise. Gold, as a non-interest-bearing asset, is priced in a significant negative correlation with real interest rates, so after the data release, gold prices came under significant pressure, with short-term declines exceeding $70. Besides being suppressed by the same macro logic, silver also has industrial attributes and usually has greater volatility. It is worth noting that despite the sharp short-term drop, gold prices remain above the $4,400 historical high, indicating that the medium- and long-term logic supporting gold prices—such as central bank gold purchases and safe-haven demand—has not been reversed by a single data outset. This decline is more of a correction driven by revised interest rate expectations. For the crypto market, non-farm payrolls are similarNonfarm payrolls shocked expectations far beyond expectations! BTC plunged sharply, keeping the crypto world restless 🔥 tonight. Recently, the nonfarm payroll data was released: 162,000 people were actually announced, while the market expected only 56,000, far exceeding expectations, with employment data unusually hot. According to macroeconomic logic, strong employment means expectations for Fed rate cuts will be pushed back significantly, the dollar strengthens, and risk assets are under pressure. The moment the data was released, BTC plunged rapidly, falling from around 81,300 to a low of 80,123, with a short-term maximum drop close to 1.28%. Looking back at history, in May 2024, the non-farm payroll also far exceeded expectations, with BTC's largest drawdown over 8% in two days. Tonight, the same scenario played out again. From the 15-minute candlestick chart, a large bearish candlestick directly breaks through the short-term moving average, breaking through the middle band of the Bollinger Bands and instantly wiping out the bulls' short-term advantage. - Short-term first support: 80,120, currently testing this level - Key strong support below: 79,500; once it falls, the pullback space will open up further - The resistance above has returned to 81,000-81,300, turning this into a strong resistance zone ⚠️. There are two key points to watch now: 1. Going forward, wage and unemployment data should be monitored as supplementary measures; if wages rise in tandem, the negative factors will further intensify; 2. The crypto market often experiences "sharp drops followed by violent rebounds." Don't blindly chase short sellers at the sight of large bearish candles; posting needles and sweeping losses at nonfarm rates is normal. With the market weakening, the risks of MEME coins are amplified, like USELESSU.S. August nonfarm payrolls increased by 162,000, far exceeding expectations, rate cut expectations face repricing U.S. Seasonally adjusted U.S. nonfarm payrolls increased by 162,000, well above the expected 56,000; unemployment rate of 4.1% was in line with expectations; The previous July figure was sharply revised up from -23,000 to 21,000. Strong employment data weakened market bets on a rapid Fed rate cut, putting liquidity easing trading at risk of repricing. The U.S. August employment report released on September 4 significantly exceeded market expectations: seasonally adjusted nonfarm payrolls increased by 162,000, while market expectations were only 56,000, nearly three times the actual figure; the unemployment rate was 4.1%, in line with expectations and unchanged from the previous value. More notably, the July nonfarm payrolls were revised up from the initial -23,000 to +21,000, indicating the labor market has not contracted as previously suggested. The background to this data is that the negative nonfarm payroll growth in July once sparked market concerns about a rapid cooling or even recession in the U.S. labor market, raising expectations for rate cuts and benefiting risk assets from easing expectations. This time, August's data greatly exceeded expectations and was significantly revised upward, basically negating the narrative of a sudden employment slowdown, indicating the Fed has more room to watch monetary policy, and the market's earlier rate cut trades need to be recalibrated. The significance of this report lies in its direct shift in expectations of interest rate paths: when the economy becomes more resilient and the urgency of rate cuts decreases, the logic of liquidity easing is weakened, and crypto assets and gold are precisely the assets most sensitive to liquidity and real interest ratesAugust Nonfarm Payrolls announced on September 3 (Thursday) at 20:30: only 22,000 new jobs added, far below the expected 53,000, with the previous value revised down to -12,000; unemployment rate rose to 4.3% (expected 4.2%); average hourly earnings year-over-year 3.0%, meeting expectations. ADP at 38,000 and ISM Services Employment at 47.8 had already hinted at weakness.
The market instantly repriced: 10-year US Treasury yield plunged to 4.74%, the US dollar index broke below 98.5, CME September rate hike probability dropped from 50% to 28%, and even started pricing in a rate cut in November. BTC rose from 80,500 to 81,800, ETH broke 2520, with over 400 million in 24h short liquidations—weak nonfarm plus dovish Waller resonance, short squeeze continuation.
But the 22,000 increase is still positive, not a recession falsification; the real watershed is the August CPI (September 11). The 81,000–81,500 range was the top edge of the previous two waves; a volume breakout above 83,000 would be considered a reversal attempt, chasing the wick = paying a bailout fee to short-coverers. Wait for a pullback to 78,000–79,000 with low volume to stabilize for a low long, or stand above 83,000 and follow the right side.Surging to $1025: $ZEC's real fire is in the ecosystem.
Recently, $ZEC's rally is forming a rare resonance.
On-chain data shows "BTC OG whale" Garrett shorted about 32,760 ZEC at an average price of $444. Now with the price approaching $1025, the unrealized loss is about $19.03 million.
Although his BTC long position has an unrealized profit of $5.38 million, it still cannot cover the loss from the ZEC short.
Such a huge contrarian short position may become fuel for a short squeeze as the price continues to rise.
The capital side is also heating up: ZEC has returned to the top five in Hyperliquid's 24-hour trading volume.
In the lending market, the bear market re-borrow rate has risen to 65.1%, and the proportion of ZEC collateral from high-net-worth users has increased to 24.2%, indicating holders prefer to collateralize rather than sell at low prices.
On the ecosystem front, ZEC's token launchpad shld.fun uses ZEC to participate in ecosystem Meme trading. The trading heat directly converts into spot demand, and the platform has seen several tokens multiply tenfold or hundredfold, directly driving daily gains over 17%.
ZEC's short-term trend has shifted from "privacy coin catch-up" to a dual driver of "ecosystem demand + short squeeze expectation," with fierce volatility expected above.
shld.fun is the igniter; we will see if there are sustained hotspot applications to follow.
If trading volume, on-chain usage, and ecosystem projects continue to expand, ZEC will achieve a true valuation reshaping.
Currently, be cautious with sentiment-driven trading and high-leverage chasing.What is the predicted impact of today's upcoming non-farm payroll data release on cryptocurrencies ($BTC, $ETH)?
Here are three forecast indicators:
1: Non-farm > 100,000 (bearish for crypto) - The market will believe the US economy remains strong, the Federal Reserve stays hawkish, and the probability of a rate hike increases.
2: Non-farm between 30,000~80,000 - This is currently the most concentrated range of market expectations.
3: Non-farm negative again (bullish for crypto) - However, the market already knows July's non-farm was negative, so to trigger a super rally, the data needs to be significantly worse than expected. From the information and capital perspective: today's biggest risk is not a weak non-farm, but a non-farm that exceeds expectations strongly.
✌️✌️✌️Spot ETF Flows Back In: Why Are Institutions Still Fixated on Interest Rate Repricing?
The latest QCP report highlights a subtle shift in the market. After earlier outflows, Bitcoin spot ETFs saw net inflows again on Thursday, with spot demand visibly warming up and leverage ratios returning to a healthy range. Many believe the bulls have regrouped and are ready to launch a new rally.
But if you look closely at institutional positioning sentiment, you'll find everyone is actually holding their breath. The current obstacle preventing Bitcoin from breaking through the $81,500 resistance isn't overcrowded long contracts, but the real selling pressure from high-level accumulated chips. The more critical variable lies not within the crypto space but in macro funds repricing hawkish interest rates.
A week after the Jackson Hole symposium, Waller's speech pushed the market back into a deadlock over whether to raise rates or hold steady. Tonight's nonfarm payrolls just need to slightly exceed expectations for Wall Street's tightening bets to resurge. Plus, with the U.S. Treasury set to launch $4 billion in bond buybacks and concentrated issuance on September 9, the dollar liquidity drain machine hasn't stopped.
The sporadic return of spot ETF inflows alone is far from enough. Until the macro interest rate shoe drops, the $76,700 to $81,500 range will remain a meat grinder of stock competition. Institutions are now competing not on who dares to push harder, but on who can preserve principal amid tightening liquidity expectations.
With spot demand warming colliding with macro liquidity drain, do you think Bitcoin can break through the heavy selling pressure at $81,500 in the short term? Brothers who followed the rhythm yesterday, have you stuffed all the big gains in your mouth? Are you all dazed from eating so much?
The market is indeed smoother than the past two days. BTC brushed near its previous high, ETF capital inflows are strong, and the single-day net inflow is clear, indicating it's not just pure contract-driven sentiment. ETH is a bit slow but has also stood back above 2500; spot/ETF flows are still recovering, and the structure is more stable than last week. DOGE's capital sentiment has also returned, with improvements in on-chain and on-exchange net flows. Grayscale-related holdings movements have added fuel to the narrative, but don't treat a single data point as ironclad evidence; meme coins still depend on sentiment and liquidity resonance.
The key now is the macro window: if tonight's non-farm payrolls are moderate, risk assets can continue; if employment is strong and rate hike expectations rise again, earlier gains are likely to be given back. Current rate hike pricing is oscillating at a high level, and the market is sensitive, so avoid heavy bets on direction before and after the data.
In terms of operations, lock in some profits first, let the rest run with the trend; breakouts need volume confirmation, and pullbacks should be supported around BTC's previous high zone and ETH 2480-2500. DOGE is strong in the short term but volatile, so don't chase too aggressively.
Not investment advice. #沃勒：8月通胀决定9月是否加息 #BTC兑黄金比率升至1月以来高位，强势能否延续？ Last night, Bitcoin surged over 5% at one point, climbing back above $80,000. The direct catalyst was the dovish remarks from Fed Governor Waller: if upcoming inflation data continues to cool, he leans toward keeping rates unchanged at the September 15-16 FOMC meeting. The market immediately lowered its expectations for a September rate hike, U.S. Treasury yields fell, the dollar weakened, and risk asset sentiment improved accordingly. It's worth noting that Waller was relatively hawkish during his Jackson Hole speech, and the market had previously pushed the probability of a September rate hike higher.
Last night's rally felt more like a continuation on top of the existing rebound, combined with easing rate hike expectations. Going forward, we still need to watch Friday's nonfarm payrolls and the September 11 CPI; if the data heats up again, rate hike expectations could reverse at any time.
The short BTC position I gave yesterday has already hit stop loss. The short Ethereum position hasn't hit stop loss yet and is still being held. The stop loss can be moved down to 2530. I'll wait for the nonfarm payrolls tonight to see the situation before placing new orders.TECHNICAL ANALYSIS — $ZEN (15m)

#OKXOrbitTopics#非农前数据分化，9月加息预期升温 Tonight's data will determine the market trend
There are 30 minutes left before the big non-farm payroll data is released. Tonight's non-farm payroll is a directional choice. I reminded this morning to wait and see, but before the afternoon session, Ethereum still surged sharply, reaching a high of 2547. In short, funds have entered the market early to position themselves because tonight's non-farm data is very likely to be positive.
This data is very important. If it exceeds expectations, the probability of a rate hike will surge, indicating that the US economy is still very resilient. The market may worry again that high interest rates will last longer, funds may flow back to the US dollar, and tech stocks and the broader market may face short-term pressure. If it falls short of expectations, the probability of a rate hike will be suppressed, making a September rate hike impossible. The US dollar and US Treasury yields may decline, and funds will flow back to risk assets. US stocks, Ethereum, and Bitcoin all have a chance to rise.
My personal prediction: the data released tonight will first cause a rise and then a fall. The entire crypto market is paying close attention to this news. What do you think?Crypto concept stocks collectively surged yesterday, is the crypto circle about to replicate the 2021 bull frenzy?
At the US market close on 9/3, crypto concept stocks collectively soared:
$xMSTR +17.36% in one day, closing at $162;
$xCRCL +13.2%, closing at $88;
COIN +10.4%, closing at $245;
$xHOOD surged 16.57%, closing at $112.
This is the strongest single-day performance in the crypto sector since the spot ETF passed in January 2024.
The direct cause is Waller's dovish stance igniting rate cut expectations, combined with a $420 million net inflow into BTC spot ETFs yesterday, showing strong institutional buying sentiment.
Robinhood also announced that its stock tokenization platform now supports 24/5 trading of European stocks, opening retail access in 7 EU countries.
However, caution is advised: MSTR's current mNAV multiple is 2.1x, close to the bubble peak in March 2024.
COIN at $245 corresponds to a 35x forward PE, indicating a severe premium.
CRCL's market cap has risen to $18 billion, but stablecoin revenue growth is slowing down.
This rally heavily depends on BTC price; if Friday's non-farm payrolls disappoint, funds could reverse at any time. It is recommended to reduce positions rather than chase highs. CME is really in a hurry this time.
They sued the CFTC themselves, but now the CFTC is asking the court to dismiss the case outright.
The reason is quite interesting:
You say you were harmed by competition, but you can do it yourself.
CME previously targeted Kalshi's Bitcoin perpetual contracts, arguing that such products should not be treated as ordinary futures but regulated as swaps.
But the CFTC's current stance is very clear:
Kalshi can do it, that doesn't mean CME can't.
Think you’re at a disadvantage?
Then do it yourself.
So the really interesting part of this matter is not about who is more stubborn between CME and CFTC.
It's that the traditional futures giant is starting to notice a change:
Perpetual contracts used to be the domain of crypto exchanges.
Now Kalshi is bringing them into the compliant U.S. derivatives market.
This might be what truly makes CME uncomfortable.
The market never waits for you to slowly adapt just because you are an established exchange.
New products have already arrived.
The only question is, who can master the rules first.
$BTC $ETH $USELESS held up well, with a forced liquidation price at 0.3U, just a little away from liquidation.
Coincidentally, this wave of decline happened right around my opening price of 0.21, it seems the manipulator really doesn't want me to break even.
The manipulator might be disappointed, because my goal is not to break even.
The purpose of this drop is obvious: to liquidate long positions.
On-chain trading volume is only a few hundred thousand dollars, while OK and the neighboring exchange have contract trading volumes reaching 150 million dollars, indicating the manipulator has no plans to dump spot positions.
Therefore, the possibility of a continued rise is greater. But it probably won't rise much, so I don't plan to stop loss, but to continue holding, moving the forced liquidation price to around 0.5 dollars for defense.
I still hold the view that meme coins are no different from project tokens like $BICO and $BEAT. The purpose of pumping is to distribute chips at high prices; short positions can profit as long as they hold on, because ultimately it all goes to zero.
#沃勒：8月通胀决定9月是否加息
#BTC兑黄金比率升至1月以来高位，强势能否延续？
#OKX预言家：9月FOMC利率决议预测上线 At 20:30 tonight, the US August non-farm payroll data will be released. This is the most important employment data before the September FOMC meeting and will directly change the Fed's interest rate expectations, causing significant volatility in the crypto market.
BTC is currently oscillating around 80800-81300. The daily rebound is still intact, but the 82500-83000 range above is a short-term resistance zone. It must break through with volume to have room for further expansion; the 78200-78500 range below is a short-term defense zone, and if broken, this rebound structure will weaken. ETH follows BTC, currently priced around 2500-2530, with greater elasticity but less independence. Support is seen at 2450-2470, resistance at 2580-2600. Don't bet on a one-sided move before BTC confirms.
There are three possible scenarios for the data itself: if employment is significantly strong, expectations for rate cuts/easing will be suppressed, the dollar and US bonds will rise, and BTC and ETH are likely to quickly retrace, increasing contract leverage risks; if the data is clearly weak, easing trades will return, and risk assets may rally first, but beware of "buy the rumor, sell the fact"; if it basically meets expectations, the market will return to technical consolidation and digestion.
Spikes and false breakouts on non-farm payroll night are normal, so don't heavily bet on direction at the moment of data release. Wait for the dust to settle, observe volume and structure confirmation, and set your position size and stop loss first.
#沃勒：8月通胀决定9月是否加息 #BTC兑黄金比率升至1月以来高位，强势能否延续？ Damn, no wonder it surged so sharply last night.
The funding situation has been spelled out very clearly: Bitcoin spot ETFs saw a single-day net inflow of about $731 million, with BlackRock's IBIT contributing the bulk; Ethereum spot ETFs also recorded an inflow of about $141 million, with ETHA simultaneously attracting funds. Combined, that's nearly $872 million—not retail sentiment trading, but a compliant channel continuously absorbing supply. BTC pushed from 76,900 to 81,300, ETH from 2,368 to 2,518, driven by institutional buying reshaping short-term supply and demand.
It's no surprise that leveraged shorts and altcoin shorts got squeezed out. Positions like ARB and USELESS are fragile against trends and liquidity, especially when high-leverage contracts face ETF-driven buying plus whale/listed company treasury purchases; covering and stop-losses stack up and accelerate. The chart shows USELESS short positions with over 500% floating losses, a typical cost of going against liquidity.
But don't blindly chase because of this. ETF inflows can support the bottom and push trends but don't mean linear daily buying; macro data, USD interest rate expectations, and profit-taking after price targets will all cause volatility. What really matters is this: large-scale capital direction is more important than market sentiment, and going high-leverage against core asset trends has extremely low tolerance for error.
Not investment advice. #沃勒：8月通胀决定9月是否加息 #BTC兑黄金比率升至1月以来高位，强势能否延续？ What truly deserves attention is that the White House's public schedule on that day showed Trump attending a policy meeting at the White House in the morning, signing an executive order in the afternoon, and then heading to New Jersey.

Trump's envoy Witkoff and Kushner are reportedly planning visits to Russia and Ukraine to promote a ceasefire and peace talks, but the Kremlin has not yet officially confirmed the full itinerary.
🇺🇸🇪🇺 The US policy on Ukraine is also changing.
Trump stated that the US will require Europe to pay for the US military aid and ammunition previously received, while the US is increasing its own ammunition reserves.
Therefore, rather than believing an unverified claim:
"The world will be completely changed in the next 48 hours."
It is better to focus on these indicators:
War → Oil → US Dollar → US Debt → Global Liquidity → BTC
If a major geopolitical escalation really occurs in the next 48 hours, the market often reacts before the news is fully confirmed.
What truly deserves observation is not "who is meeting at the White House," but what the White House will announce next.
For BTC,
the greatest opportunities often lie within the greatest macro uncertainties.
Stay alert and do not be led by unverified information It still has to be BTC; the Bitcoin-to-gold ratio has reached 18.17, hitting a new high since January.
Both Bitcoin and gold are rising together. The core logic is that the market is betting the government will dilute debt through devaluation.
US Treasury Secretary Bessent himself said, "The world is flooded with debt, and the only way out is growth." Translated, this means—money is becoming less valuable, and hard assets are getting more expensive.
Scaramucci put it quite well: G20 finance ministers inadvertently gave the best Bitcoin advertisement of the year.
$BTC's price against gold has returned to the January high; next, we need to see if it can break through the key resistance at 18.5.
#比特币再破80000美元 #沃勒：8月通胀决定9月是否加息 #HOOD收涨创年内新高，链上收入居公链第一 When on-chain protocols start distributing real money to the ecosystem, the market always gets excited for a while. Over the past week, $ARB has risen about 50% cumulatively, and today it surged again with heavy volume, breaking through $0.146 intraday—nearly doubling from the low of 0.07. What drives this round of market movement is Robinhood Chain's first actual dividend. This chain, built on Arbitrum Orbit, launched on its mainnet in July this year, with peak daily fees reaching $1.9 million, and daily fees around 100,000 yuan. According to protocols, 10% of net income is given back to the Arbitrum ecosystem, 8% goes to the DAO treasury, and in the past two months, $1.3 million has been distributed to the ecosystem. DAO revenue in the first half of the year reached $6.19 million, with a gross margin of about 97%. Such data is rare in the Layer 2 sector. Another layer of support comes from the RWA narrative. Currently, tokenized real assets on Arbitrum have surpassed $1 billion, with more than 2,000 assets, ranking among the top chains; In the past six months, about 478 million transactions have been processed, with monthly stablecoin transfers exceeding $7 billion, reflecting relatively real payment and settlement activities. However, aside from the frenzy, one must remain clear-headed. Currently, the RSI has reached 83.6, clearly in the overbought range; A significant portion of Robinhood Chain's trading volume comes from trading bots and launchpaThe market is already pricing in the expectation that tonight's non-farm payrolls will show positive data.
Wednesday's ADP employment report was slightly below expectations, causing short-term US Treasury yields to fall from their highs.
Last night, Fed's Waller's speech also confirmed a 50-50 chance of a rate hike.
Waiting for the non-farm payrolls and next week's CPI to confirm, the market is betting that there will definitely be no rate hike in September.
Therefore, the market is clearly trading in advance; both BTC and gold rose more than 2% after Waller's dovish stance.
However, service sector inflation and oil prices remain high. Even if the non-farm payrolls are weak,
can we really confirm a pause in rate hikes directly? The real deciding factors are still next week's CPI and PPI.
Weak ADP and expectations of a pause in rate hikes have already pushed BTC and gold up in advance.
If tonight's data only meets expectations, will the market first spike and then pull back?
After all, Monday is Labor Day in the US, with no trading, giving the market three days to recover.
If tonight's non-farm payrolls show negative growth again and unemployment rises to 4.3%, the situation from early last month may repeat.
The dollar and US Treasury yields would fall, gold would continue to rise, and the Nasdaq and BTC would spike up then pull back.
The correct bullish combination tonight should be: weak but not recessionary employment + falling dollar and yields + rising Nasdaq.
Currently, both BTC and ETH are at high levels; patience is needed, preferably trading on the right side. #NonFarmPayrolls #USInitialJoblessClaimsRiseTo206K Recently, the Crypto community has been talking about:
The growing US debt,
The rising US Treasury yields,
And whether the world is starting to move away from Treasury securities.
However, today Reuters revealed a very interesting counter-trend trade:
Some Chinese banks have actually been increasing their purchases of US Treasuries recently.
The reason is very practical.
The interest rate on RMB deposits within China:
Less than 1%.
But some banks offer USD deposits at:
3%, even close to 4%.
Banks attract USD deposits,
Then buy higher-yielding US Treasuries.
Earning the interest rate spread.
China's foreign exchange deposits have risen to:
$1.18T as of July.
I think this really illustrates how pragmatic the financial markets are.The market went crazy again today. BTC surged from 77,000 all the way up to a high of 82,300, with a single-day increase of over 5%, reclaiming the 80,000 level. ETH rose in sync to 2,500, and XRP led the major coins with an 8% gain.
But the most brutal aspect isn't the price increase, it's the liquidations.
In the past 24 hours, 97,000 people across the network were liquidated, totaling $544 million. Among them, $415 million to $510 million were short positions—another classic short squeeze. The higher the price rises, the harder shorts can hold on; forced liquidations push prices even higher, creating a vicious cycle.
The core logic behind this rally isn't some big positive news in the crypto industry, but a change in external macro expectations. Fed officials turned dovish, and the September rate hike probability dropped from 68% to about 50%, with the market starting to bet on "no more hikes."
But the real judgment comes tonight at 8:30 PM — the US August nonfarm payroll data. The market expects an increase of 55,000 jobs, after a decrease of 23,000 in July. This data will directly decide whether there will be a rate hike in September:
• Poor data (below 30,000): rate hike expectations cool down, BTC likely continues to surge
• Good data (above 80,000): rate hike expectations heat up, 82,000 might be a short-term peak
To be honest, from 77,000 to 82,000, a 6.5% rise in 5 days, chasing at this level has a poor risk-reward ratio. Before the nonfarm data is released, don't heavily bet on direction; even if you guess right once, the profit won't be much, but guessing wrong once could get you trapped.

#BTC #NonfarmData #Liquidations #ShortSqueeze #MarketAnalysis The next opportunity may not come from the next candle — it may come from the next cycle. Bitcoin is back above $80,000, and market sentiment is heating up again. But instead of asking: “Will BTC pump tomorrow?” I’m watching the bigger picture. The next few months could be shaped by a few major trends: 1. Institutional money Spot Bitcoin ETFs and institutional demand remain one of the biggest factors behind BTC’s long-term structure. If capital continues flowing in, pullbacks may increasingly bCrypto Market Explodes Across the Board: BTC Hits 82,300, SUI Leads Altcoin Season
Last night, the crypto market experienced a long-awaited collective rally. Bitcoin surged impressively, not only holding above the $80,000 mark but also briefly reaching $82,300 per coin, soaring over 6% intraday and consecutively breaking through five major integer levels from $79,000 to $82,000. The strong bullish momentum caught the market's attention.
Altcoins also performed remarkably. SUI sounded the charge first, soaring as much as 10% overnight to hit $0.79, becoming the leading driver of this rebound. Ethereum strengthened in tandem, successfully reclaiming the psychological $2,500 level with a 4.67% intraday gain, reigniting market hopes for the return of altcoin season.
The core driver comes from an improving macro environment. Federal Reserve Governor Waller signaled a dovish stance overnight: if inflation data over the next two weeks confirms a continued slowdown, he would lean toward supporting a hold on interest rates in September. This statement quickly cooled market expectations for a rate hike, with the probability of a September hike dropping sharply from about 63% to 52%. Improved liquidity expectations directly fueled enthusiasm for risk assets, with Bitcoin benefiting especially.
Traditional funds are accelerating their entry. The Hong Kong stock market responded first, with Boyaa Interactive surging over 11%, Blueport Interactive rising nearly 10%, and HASHKEY HLDGS up more than 3%.
Short-term market sentiment is extremely exuberant, but caution is needed for potential pullbacks after positive news is priced in. The upcoming two weeks of U.S. inflation data will be a key variable—if the data disappoints, the dovish narrative could quickly reverse. The battle between bulls and bears continues.$BTC short squeeze. But there are still some more shorts above...

105,064 traders were liquidated, the total liquidations comes in at $567.92 million.#WallerEyesAugCPI #BTCGoldRatioHigh #OKXOutcomeLeagueFOMC BTC has returned above $80,000, and market sentiment has clearly warmed up. But I actually think the most important question now is not "Can BTC continue to rise immediately?" Rather: can this rally develop into a bigger trend in the next phase? There are currently several variables worth watching. First, institutional funds are returning to the market. Spot BTC ETFs have recently seen strong inflows again, with the latest single-day net inflow of about $730 million, and overall ETF inflows in August remained strong. Capital returning to the spot market is more worth watching than a simple contract rally. Second, the macro environment remains the core of the coming weeks. U.S. employment data, inflation data, and the Federal Reserve's September meeting could all reshape market expectations for interest rates. Especially the upcoming CPI and FOMC may be more important than any single crypto news. If inflation continues to cool and interest rate expectations ease further, BTC's liquidity environment may keep improving. But conversely, if yields rise rapidly again, risk assets may come under pressure again. Third, the real test comes after 80K. BTC has now broken through a key resistance zone from earlier. What the market needs to watch next is: Can 80K become support? If the price can repeatedly switch around 80K and continue absorbing selling pressure, the market may start shifting attention to the next pressure near 82K–83K. If the breakout fails, a rapid return to around 77K would not be surprisingMARSCOIN high-level distribution confirmed: the main force is not trying to trigger a long squeeze, but to reverse and kill the shorts!

The main buy orders consecutively consumed three large orders between 0.004880 and 0.004920, and the sell one depth has withdrawn from 190,000 tokens to around 70,000 tokens, which is not something ordinary retail investors can do. On-chain tracking found two addresses that had been inactive for nearly seven days suddenly withdrew a batch of TRIA from the exchange, and after transferring, there was no selling pressure; the whales have drained liquidity at the low position. The funding rate has risen from negative 0.03 to positive 0.01, and shorts near the current price have started to be passively liquidated. Just after sending an order and leaning by the roadside flipping through the screen, the call to urge the order rang again, but this structure indeed looks like the usual short squeeze setup. Operationally, the pullback zone from 0.004920 to 0.005030 is the bulls' defense area; the current price at 0.005020 is a direct entry point, with a stop loss set strictly at 0.004750—breaking below indicates the whale withdrawing tokens is only a temporary defense. Take profit first targets 0.005360, which is a dense previous high trading area; a breakout will push further to 0.005600. Keep your position light; don't gamble with your living expenses.

#OKX预言家：9月FOMC利率决议预测上线
@OKX星球 The underlying logic behind breaking through 81000: This wave is not a rebound, it's institutions quietly building positions
Many only see the market rally and shorts being flushed out when the price stabilizes above 81000 this round.
But yesterday, I was watching not the candlesticks, but the most authentic on-chain capital behavior.
This rise hides three very abnormal and highly indicative details that fully explain the current real market situation.
First, the spot trading volume in this rally has directly tripled or quadrupled, but the contract open interest did not follow with a surge.
This is very critical, indicating that this increase is not driven by leverage or speculative capital games.
It's a genuine market formed by active spot buying and order absorption.
Moreover, the main battlefield for the big players is the deepest liquidity pool on Binance.
Whales choose to accumulate in batches here with a simple purpose: not to induce short-term rallies, but for deep accumulation and controlling slippage, a typical mid-to-long-term layout strategy.
The second subtle signal comes from whale funds.
Yesterday, the net inflow of whales in a single hour exceeded 2000 BTC, but the average single order was just over 50 BTC.
Those familiar with on-chain data understand that real big players dumping or violently pumping the market place large orders of several hundred BTC at once.
This high-frequency, small-amount, continuous order splitting is a typical institutional algorithmic and programmatic batch accumulation.
No market disruption, no panic, quietly and continuously accumulating is a very standard long-term layout move, definitely not short-term speculation.
The third key point most people overlook:
Alongside this BTC rally, the scale of altcoin deposits to exchanges has simultaneously tripled.
In normal markets, altcoins flooding exchanges usually means retail investors cashing out in panic.
But combined with the current strong spot volume of BTC, the logic is completely reversed.
This wave looks more like market funds actively reallocating portfolios, retail investors exchanging low-position altcoins and exiting, while capital gradually concentrates on BTC as the leader.
It also shows that market risk appetite is slowly recovering, and the bottom chip replacement of altcoins is basically nearing completion.
Stacking these three data sets together, the conclusion is very clear and transparent:
This rally is not driven by emotional FOMO, short squeeze, or technical rebound.
It is institutional capital systematically and strategically building positions during a low-volatility phase.
What the market lacks now is just the final volume-confirming breakout candle; the capital base has long been laid out.
The biggest loss in trading is waiting until the market is completely clear and everyone is boasting online before entering.
By then, the sentiment is in place, profits have long been taken, and only high-level bag holding remains.
I will stay out of the market for now and watch. If there is a chance for a pullback, I will choose to enter a position
$BTC #沃勒：8月通胀决定9月是否加息 #BTC兑黄金比率升至1月以来高位，强势能否延续？ Many people see BTC suddenly surge, and their first reaction is: "What exactly happened today?" But I prefer to look at it in reverse. This rally wasn't a sudden buying move within a few hours, but rather a result of accumulated funds, expectations, and short positions in previous days, which were finally released at key levels. BTC had been fluctuating around 77,000–78,000 for the past few days, which seemed uneventful, but in reality, the market structure was already changing. The latest data shows that the US spot BTC ETF saw a single-day net inflow of about $731 million, the largest single-day inflow since January this year; BlackRock's IBIT absorbed about $454 million. In August, US spot BTC ETFs attracted about $3.5 billion in cumulative funds. So this breakout did not happen out of nowhere. There is also a more direct catalyst: expectations for Fed rate cuts and rate hikes are beginning to reprice. Fed official Christopher Waller said that if inflation continues to improve, he supports keeping rates unchanged in September. Subsequently, market bets on a rate hike in September dropped significantly, and both the dollar and Treasury yields weakened, giving risk assets some breathing room. Thus, the entire chain became clear: ETFs continued to attract funds → repeatedly absorbed selling pressure around 77K→ interest rate expectations shifted to → dollar/yield pressure, easing pressure on → BTC breaking through 80K→ short covering further amplified the rally.

⚠️ This article only outlines the track logic and project architecture and does not constitute any investment advice.
The Bitcoin ecosystem bull market wave continues to advance, with many investors confusing STX, CORE, MERL, and BABY as all BTCFi track targets.
In fact, they are completely different levels, logics, and capital narratives.
The four projects respectively represent the four top BTCFi schools: Native Steady, Full-Chain Infrastructure, Inscription Elasticity, and Underlying Security. Their underlying architecture, asset risk, growth potential, and capital logic differ vastly.
1. Core Positioning of the Four Schools: Clearly Distinguish the Hierarchy
STX | Native Steady School: The Orthodox Bitcoin L2 Benchmark
Stacks is the earliest and most orthodox L2 infrastructure in the Bitcoin ecosystem.
It does not alter Bitcoin’s base layer; relying on PoX consensus + a dedicated programming language, it realizes on-chain smart contracts on Bitcoin and builds a complete BTC-denominated DeFi system based on sBTC.
Advantages: orthodox ecosystem, high institutional recognition, most stable trend.
Drawbacks: not EVM compatible, slower ecosystem expansion, limited explosive potential.
Positioning: BTCFi defensive leader, following a long-term steady compound growth path.
CORE | All-Purpose Infrastructure School: Bitcoin’s Only Independent L1 Public Chain
The biggest market misconception: treating CORE as a Bitcoin Layer 2.
CORE is an independent Layer 1 public chain, not L2!
It relies on exclusive Satoshi Plus hybrid consensus, leveraging Bitcoin’s entire network hash power as a security base, fully EVM compatible, truly a "Bitcoin Supergrid."
Coverage: BTC staking, institutional lstBTC liquid staking, SatPay payments, lending, RWA real-world assets; the only BTCFi leader with a complete commercial revenue system.
Entering cash flow profitability era in 2026, with real business, real institutional demand, and real buyback expectations.
Positioning: BTCFi aggressive infrastructure leader, largest growth potential, most hardcore narrative.
MERL | Inscription Elasticity School: Dedicated Channel for Bitcoin Native Assets
Merlin Chain focuses on ZK Layer 2 + inscription ecosystem, precisely solving BRC20, Ordinals asset congestion, and high Gas fees.
All ecosystem activity, popularity, and capital are tied to the Bitcoin inscription cycle.
Advantages: extremely strong bull market elasticity, highest gains during hot trends.
Drawbacks: market highly dependent on sector sentiment, no independent narrative, strong cyclical nature.
Positioning: BTCFi cyclical speculative target, riding waves and trends.
BABY | Underlying Security School: Bitcoin Security Leasing Dark Horse
Unique and completely differentiated track.
Does not do DeFi, trading, or applications; only one thing:
Zero-risk staking of Bitcoin native assets and full-network PoS public chain security leasing.
User BTC remains in native addresses throughout, no custody, no cross-chain, no wrapping; the highest security model in the BTCFi network.
Earns continuous income by "renting out Bitcoin’s top-level security," belonging to the most fundamental and essential public chain infrastructure narrative.
Positioning: ultra-long-term ambush-type underlying dark horse, highest odds.
2. Asset Security Hierarchy (The Most Important Watershed in BTCFi)
✅ BABY | Ceiling-Level Security
BTC remains in native UTXO addresses throughout, pure cryptographic staking, zero custody, zero wrapping, zero bridge risk, absolutely secure assets.
✅ CORE | Non-Custodial Hardcore Security
BTC locked with Bitcoin mainnet timelocks, principal never leaves BTC chain, no institutional custody risk, only data relay synchronization, extremely low risk.
⚠️ STX | Consortium Multi-Signature Mode
Asset security depends on node consortium; although there is a penalty mechanism, theoretical risk of consortium misconduct exists.
⚠️ MERL | MPC Custody Mode
Assets require custody mapping; native BTC leaves mainnet, exposing institutional counterparty risk.
3. Value Capture Logic: Determines Bull Market Multiples
STX
Pure ecological consumption + BTC-denominated staking yield, slowly raising value through ecosystem expansion, steady but slow.
CORE
Dual staking lockup + 2026 cash flow realization
lstBTC institutional service fees, cross-border payments, on-chain fees, future revenue buybacks
— the only BTCFi leader transitioning from "storytelling" to "real money earning."
MERL
Inscription ecosystem fees + 50% profit buybacks, market fully follows sector bull and bear cycles, high elasticity, weak sustainability.
BABY
Continuous income from full-network public chain security leasing fees, unique track, long-term value severely underestimated.
4. Ultimate Summary: Four Targets Suit Different Investors
✅ Seeking stability, holding long-term, avoiding volatility: choose STX
Bitcoin native orthodox, heavy institutional holdings, most stable trend.
✅ Riding the bull market main rise, earning growth dividends, focusing on fundamentals: choose CORE
BTCFi’s only L1 infrastructure + only cash flow track, core mainline of this bull market.
✅ Speculating on hot trends, capturing waves, playing cyclical markets: choose MERL
When inscription trends arrive, elasticity crushes the field.
✅ Low-position ambush, betting on underlying narrative breakout, super high odds: choose BABY
The safest BTC staking model in the network, underlying infrastructure dark horse.
The true money-making logic in the bull market:
Not randomly buying BTCFi, but selecting the mainline that fits your style.
#STX #CORE #MERL #BABY #BTCFi$ETH currently: stair-step upward trend, narrow high-level oscillation
ETH has been moving quite solidly in this wave: gradually stepping up from around 2,405, with support holding at 2,500 on pullbacks
Today it pushed up again to touch 2,547, then slightly retreated, now oscillating narrowly at a high level around 2,524, with a slight intraday increase of 0.28%
Moving averages show a standard bullish alignment: price is above MA5/10/20/30/60, short-, medium-, and long-term all diverging upward, with lows continuously rising, indicating a bullish trend without issues
Volume also supports this, with increased volume during the initial rise and breakout phases; recent sideways volume is average, representing a pause after the rise
Short-term resistance is at 2,547; if volume increases and it holds above this level, continuation is possible; support is first at 2,517–2,521 (dense MA20/30 area), if broken then look at 2,511 (MA60), with strong support at 2,481
Overall, the trend is oscillating but biased bullish; chasing highs has average cost-effectiveness, better to wait for pullbacks to support zones to stabilize before entering.There is one thing I find very interesting. If you asked 5 years ago: What is Bitcoin? Most answers would be: "A speculative asset." "Cryptocurrency." "Bubble." "Gambling." But if you ask the same question today... I think the answer has started to change. Many people no longer see Bitcoin as: A coin. But have started to see it as: A new type of financial asset. In my opinion... this could be the biggest change in Bitcoin's history. And also the thing the market is most underestimating. 💣 BITCOIN IS NO LONGER JUST ABOUT C What is the predicted impact of today's upcoming non-farm payroll data release on cryptocurrencies ($BTC, $ETH)? Here are three forecast indicators: 1: Non-farm > 100,000 (bearish for crypto) — the market will believe the US economy remains strong, and the Federal Reserve is likely to maintain a hawkish stance or even raise interest rates. 2: Non-farm between 30,000 and 80,000 — this is currently the most concentrated range of market expectations. 3: Non-farm negative again (bullish for crypto) — however, the market already knows July's non-farm was negative, so to trigger a super rally, the data needs to be significantly worse than expected. From the perspective of information and capital flow: today's biggest risk is not a weak non-farm report, but a non-farm result that exceeds expectations strongly.LATEST: Ukrainian police busted a Kyiv-based crypto drainer ring accused of stealing up to $1M a month by tricking victims into signing malicious wallet-draining transactions.
$UNI Are traditional brokers building a cryptocurrency supermarket?
Charles Schwab is preparing to add $SOL, AVAX, and $LINK to its cryptocurrency trading services.
I think the really interesting part isn’t that Solana has another trading venue, since there are already plenty of exchanges in the crypto space. The bigger change is where investors can access it.
If people can eventually hold stocks, bonds, ETFs, and some crypto assets all in the brokerage accounts they already use, then the decision to buy SOL will be very different from opening an exchange account, completing another set of onboarding steps, and transferring money into a completely separate financial ecosystem.
For years, crypto companies have been trying to convince traditional investors to enter the crypto space. But now traditional finance seems to be taking the opposite approach: bringing crypto assets to places investors are already familiar with.

#BTC兑黄金比率升至1月以来高位，强势能否延续？ Tonight at 20:30 Nonfarm Payrolls, it's time to open the blind box again
The market currently expects 56,000 new nonfarm jobs in August, a clear rebound compared to July's -23,000; the unemployment rate is expected to hold at 4.1%, while wages are forecast to slow from 3.2% year-on-year to 3.0%
If employment significantly exceeds expectations + unemployment rate does not rise + wages are relatively strong, that is a typical hawkish combination, U.S. Treasury yields and the dollar are likely to rise, while gold, BTC, and U.S. stocks will come under pressure
Conversely, if employment continues to be weak, unemployment rises to 4.2%, the rate hike expectations will most likely cool down further, and risk assets will feel much more comfortable
This is a moment of great volatility for $BTC, friends with positions remember to manage risk!
#沃勒：8月通胀决定9月是否加息 #沃勒：August inflation will determine whether there is a rate hike in September
Today's ETH is giving the bears hardly any breathing room. $ETH $BTC
Earlier, the low was around 2405, then it rebounded all the way up, reaching a high of 2542, with an intraday increase close to 5%.
This surge is not because ETH suddenly had some super positive news.
Mainly, BTC returned above 80,000 USD, boosting the overall crypto market sentiment. Coupled with earlier weak employment data, market expectations for further Fed rate hikes have cooled, and funds have started to bet in advance that tonight's non-farm payrolls won't be too strong.
Simply put, today's rise is driven not by the story but by expectations.
However, as the market stands now, a problem has emerged.
ETH has risen more than 130 USD from the low, and the 2540–2550 range is a clearly visible resistance zone. Although the price has surged above it, it hasn't truly held steady yet.
Currently, ETH is oscillating around 2520, more like both bulls and bears are waiting for the non-farm payrolls to give the final direction.
If the non-farm payrolls are clearly weaker than expected and the market continues to trade on easing expectations, once ETH holds above 2550, it could continue to push towards 2580–2600, and shorts may be forced to cover their positions.
But if employment data is stronger or wage growth exceeds expectations, US Treasury yields and the dollar will rise again, and the funds that bet early on the positive news may cash out. ETH would first retest 2500, and if it breaks below, then look towards 2470–2480.
If the data basically meets expectations, be cautious of the most annoying pattern:
First a spike up, then a sharp drop, clearing both bulls and bears, and finally the price returns to the original range.
So tonight, the real focus is not guessing the non-farm number but watching how ETH chooses.
Watch if 2550 can hold above, and if 2500 will break below.
Holding above 2550 means bulls continue to control the initiative.
Breaking below 2500 means today's rally might have been an early overextension of expectations.
I personally tried a light short position around 2525, but this is just my attempt at the resistance level and does not mean the market has turned bearish.
Next, let's let the data speak.
The first candle tonight might be lively, but the real direction often only appears after the market calms down for a few minutes.#RobinhoodChainRevenue Robinhood Chain is becoming an important case study in how a major financial platform can monetize on-chain activity. Arbitrum DAO reported approximately $6.19 million in first-half income with gross margins above 97%, while Robinhood Chain introduced an additional revenue stream through its licensing and ecosystem agreement. This means Robinhood’s blockchain activity may benefit not only its own platform but also the infrastructure supporting the network.
The development could strengthen the argument that application-specific chains are commercially viable when connected to an existing distribution channel. Robinhood already serves customers interested in stocks, options, and cryptocurrency, so it does not need to build an audience from zero. Still, investors should separate network revenue from token value. ARB’s market capitalization can rise much faster than the actual income reaching the ecosystem, creating valuation risk if activity slows. The most meaningful indicators will be monthly active users, repeat transactions, fee sustainability, and the amount of revenue ultimately retained by Arbitrum.
