Currently, the probability of a 25 basis point rate hike this month given by CME is 69.4%. But note, before the PPI data, this probability was only just over 60%, and when PPI exceeded expectations, it surged nearly 10 percentage points.
Regarding CPI, the market expects the overall CPI month-on-month in August to jump sharply from 0.1% to 0.4%, mainly driven by energy prices. But the core CPI month-on-month expectation is only about 0.2%. This is interesting—the overall inflation is being forcibly pushed up by oil prices, but core inflation is actually cooling down.
For the crypto community, this data combination is quite subtle. If the core CPI can really hold steady at 0.2% or even lower, the probability of a rate hike will likely retreat from around 70%, allowing the market to catch a breath and rebound. But if the core CPI also exceeds expectations, the rate hike probability will surge above 75%, and the BTC price at 77,000 might not hold.
On the market, BTC has already dropped from 82,000 down to around 77,000, a deep enough fall that technically calls for a correction. However, the capital inflow is insufficient, so the correction strength is weak.
My outlook: If CPI is favorable, BTC could rebound short-term to around 79,000-80,000; if unfavorable, it could quickly drop to 75,000 or even 71,000. For ETH, the upper resistance is in the 2,485-2,510 range, and support is seen at 2,100-2,200.
Before tonight’s data release, control your positions well and avoid heavy bets on direction.

$ETH is attracting interest for its staking yield, while $BTC remains allocation-driven.
With Treasury yields still elevated, I’m staying patient until flows clearly converge.
#BTCSpotETFOutflows $ETH 【Real-time Monitoring】After the bears pushed the RSI to an extreme zone at 19:00, they did not follow through to break below 2450; on the contrary, the price was continuously pulled back, KDJ formed a golden cross at a low level, and RSI kept recovering. This indicates there is indeed support around 2450.
Short-term stop of decline: evidence already exists.
Short-term bullish reversal: not yet.
Confirmed bullish reversal: at least stabilize above 2464–2465 again.
Upward targets: 2459 → 2465 → 2470 → 2480.
Downward targets: 2450 → 2440 → 2430/2423 → 2404.
There are still two hurdles.
First hurdle: 2458–2459
MA10 is at 2458.75.
If it can stabilize above 2459 next, it means this rebound is more than just a minor correction at the MA5 level.
Second hurdle: 2464–2465
MA20 and the middle band of BOLL are both at 2464.42.
This is the real bull-bear dividing line on the 15-minute chart now.
If after the data release the price moves up and quickly:
2459 → 2465 → stabilizes
I would consider this round of selling before CPI mainly as risk-off ahead of the event, not a new trend down.
Then the upper targets reopen:
2470/2471 → 2478/2480
The downside is also very clear
The lower band of BOLL has already reached: 2449.8
2449–2450 = the near-term 15-minute critical survival line. GM ☀️ $BTC and $ETH remain the key assets I’m watching, but I’m not assuming the market goes straight up from here. I expect more consolidation and volatility over the next few days. $BTC → $77K–$78K is the key near-term zone. If it holds, bulls can attempt a move back toward $80K–$82K. But if selling pressure accelerates, I’d watch $71K–$68K as a deeper demand zone rather than panic-selling into weakness. $ETH → $2.35K–$2.36K remains important support.

Oracle AI cloud surges 121%, but chip stocks crash first as a sign of respect
Oracle's earnings report exploded—Q1 revenue of 19.35 billion exceeded expectations, cloud infrastructure revenue surged 121% year-over-year, remaining performance obligations surged to 664 billion, and after-hours trading rose over 9% at one point. Jensen Huang added: AI infrastructure spending is expected to reach 3-4 trillion by 2030.
But the market didn't buy it. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index closed down 2.66%, Intel fell over 5%, AMD dropped over 3%, SK Hynix ADR fell over 5%, Micron and SanDisk dropped over 4%. Japan and South Korea opened continuing to crash, Kioxia down 6.6%.
The logic is very fragmented: the AI demand story is getting stronger, but chip stocks are having their valuations cut. PPI exceeded expectations + oil prices broke $100, the probability of a rate hike soared to 71.3%, high-valuation growth stocks are hit first.
My thinking: Oracle's data shows AI capital expenditure hasn't stopped, and the long-term logic for storage and computing power remains intact. But short-term rate hike expectations are pressing down, chip stocks will be very volatile. Wait for CPI to settle, then see if the market cuts valuations first or recognizes the logic first. #PPIHotCPINext #OracleAICloudUp121% #BTCSpotETFOutflows This time I will treat ETH as a position for altcoin market trading.
$ETH is currently around $2460.
My reasons for buying ETH are completely different from $BTC.
For BTC, I look at the overall market direction; for ETH, I care more about whether, after the CPI risk passes, the market turns risk-on again and capital flows from BTC back to ETH and altcoins.
Previously, ETH spot ETFs have already shown clear capital inflows, and currently about one-third of ETH supply is staked.
So when ETH returns to above 2400, I won’t treat it as a simple rebound trade.
I will first buy half.
Because if tonight’s CPI is lower than expected and interest rate trades suddenly reverse, high-beta mainstream coins like ETH might not give much time to buy slowly. #PPIHotCPINext #OracleAICloudUp121% #BTCSpotETFOutflows This time I will treat ETH as a position for altcoin market trading.

Overall PPI year-on-year at 5.4% exceeded expectations, with Middle East geopolitical conflicts pushing up energy prices, further increasing inflation pressure; core PPI excluding energy and food month-on-month was 0.2%, slightly below expectations.
Once the data came out, the market sharply raised expectations for Fed rate hikes, with CME showing the probability of a September rate hike soaring to 70%, and funds betting on at least one rate hike before the end of October. The market awaits this Friday's CPI release; these two major inflation data points will directly determine the policy direction of the September FOMC meeting.
The asset side reacted quickly. Interest-free assets like gold were the first to come under pressure, with spot gold plunging sharply, once falling below $4330, and the US dollar index returning above 99. Stronger rate hike expectations raise the opportunity cost of holding gold, suppressing gold prices.
$BTC is also under pressure. Crypto assets are high-risk assets, extremely sensitive to liquidity changes. Rate hike expectations represent tightening market liquidity and rising risk-free yields, causing funds to flow out of the highly volatile crypto market, increasing short-term selling pressure on Bitcoin and other coins.
Next, CPI will be the watershed for the market. If core CPI falls, rate hike expectations will cool down, and gold and the crypto market are expected to recover; however, inflation risks brought by oil prices remain. These two days' inflation data will dominate the short-term market trend.$OKB
Can the platform token develop an independent trend in a risk market?
With continuous net outflows from BTC ETFs, and the US PPI and oil prices pushing up interest rate pressures, platform tokens will first be affected by the overall risk appetite.
OKB also has independent variables such as platform activities, token utility, and supply arrangements. If the price remains stable when the market is weak, and platform transactions and user activity improve, it indicates that its own demand is absorbing selling pressure.
If there is no business data support and the strength is only formed by short-term rallies, beware of rapid pullbacks caused by thin liquidity. Price synchronization with platform data constitutes effective confirmation.Core Risk Warning
1. CPI is the sole directional arbiter: Core CPI month-on-month 0.2% is the watershed—below 0.2% favors a rebound, equal to 0.2% maintains consolidation, above 0.2% signals downside risk.
2. Whale long position liquidation risk: $70 million long position liquidation price at $76,308, only $400 away from the current price. If CPI exceeds expectations, it may trigger a chain liquidation.
3. Continuous ETF outflows + new buyers leading sell-offs: Over $140 million outflow in the first three days this week, the proportion of long-term holders who have realized profits has sharply dropped to 47%, stop-loss actions by new buyers may be more destructive than profit-taking by long-term holders.
4. Golden cross is a lagging signal: Even if the 50-day EMA crosses above the 200-day EMA forming a golden cross, it has failed multiple times within weeks after formation in the past. CPI and FOMC are the true directional drivers.
5. 75,700 is the key defensive line for the bullish structure: Holding it means the late August rebound structure still has a chance; losing it may expose $71,800 $BTC $ETH $ZEC #10年期美债逼近5%关口，回购难阻收益率上行 From a medium to long-term perspective on US interest rate hikes, if inflation driven by US fiscal and energy factors recurs and fiat currency credit continues to deteriorate, the narrative of BTC as a non-sovereign hard asset still holds. However, this logic will be temporarily set aside in a high interest rate environment.
Going forward, do not be swayed by rapidly changing market narratives; focus on three key variables: US CPI and wage data, the 10-year US Treasury real yield, and the US Dollar Index. The crypto market trends are mostly the result of macro liquidity rather than the cause. #PPI高于预期，今晚CPI定方向 A week ago, the market was still trading on the logic of "cooling employment → Fed turns dovish → gold strengthens." Wash delivered a hawkish speech at Jackson Hole, combined with August nonfarm payrolls adding 162,000 jobs, three times the expected 56,000, causing market expectations to reverse directly: the rate cut narrative exited, and rate hike risks were repriced. U.S. Treasury yields and the dollar rose simultaneously, spot gold plunged more than 2% intraday, and safe-haven assets also faced sell-offs.
When macro expectations completely reverse in just one week, rather than worrying about whether gold or BTC can hold, it is more important to grasp the core variables truly driving the market.
For cryptocurrencies, the transmission path of this round of expectation reversal is very clear. With U.S. Treasury real yields rising, the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets increases, capital prioritizes flowing back into U.S. dollar fixed income products, and high-volatility assets like BTC and ETH passively bear the pressure of liquidity withdrawal. In the short term, BTC reflects more of a risk asset characteristic and will not simply replicate gold's safe-haven logic; during a phase of rising rate expectations, even if geopolitical risks heat up, it is difficult for BTC to develop an independent safe-haven rally.
However, short-to-medium and medium-to-long-term logics should be viewed separately. In the short term, inflation, employment data, and Fed officials' statements will continue to influence rate hike probabilities, suppressing the crypto market. Tonight's CPI is the most important observation window. If inflation readings heat up again and rate hike expectations further ferment, BTC will likely remain under pressure; only if inflation clearly declines will the market trade easing expectations again.
$BTC #PPI高于预期，今晚CPI定方向 Foldable screen costs Samsung about $250 per unit, Apple rose 3.56% yesterday.
MacRumors said Apple pays Samsung about $250 for each foldable screen on the iPhone Duo.
Yesterday, AAPL closed at 326.57, up 3.56%; the S&P fell for the fourth consecutive day, NVDA down 2.3%, MU down 4.7%.
The Duo sells for $1999, lower than Wall Street's expected $2300 to $2500, but the display cost has already been accounted for.
I think the rise is driven by sentiment, not an improvement in cost structure.
Screen costs are squeezing gross margins; tonight around 20:30 Asia-Pacific time, CPI will be released, a core reading of 0.3% could easily ignite rate hike expectations.
I won’t chase longs before CPI; the invalidation condition is if the core is significantly below expectations and pre-orders explode, then we can talk about buying back.
Do you value the $1999 pricing advantage more, or are you more worried about the $250 display cost?

#PPI higher than expected, tonight's CPI will set the direction
#EarningsWatcher: Oracle AI cloud revenue up 121%The fundamental of the $TRUMP token is Trump's mouth; when the mouth stops, it stops!
As everyone knows, the valuation model of Meme coins is different from traditional coins. Traditional coins look at protocol revenue, on-chain activity, and institutional holdings! But $TRUMP only cares about one thing — whether Trump has spoken recently on Truth Social.
History has repeated many times: when he posts a strong statement on Truth, TRUMP immediately jumps; when he is silent for a few days, the price consolidates; when he argues with a national leader, TRUMP moves inversely to that country's related coins. This is its fundamental!
From September 12 to September 18 this week, the only "big events" $TRUMP can look forward to are two!
1. Trump intensively speaks out for the midterm elections
2. The unlocking event on 9.18!
But between the mouth and the chips, the mouth is increasingly unable to support the chips — in late August, he spoke several times, and TRUMP fell from 3 to the current 1.97.
Therefore, Kuzi boldly states that the last support for the TRUMP coin is the mouth, but the mouth can only support it for shorter and shorter periods.
Keep an eye on his Truth next week, and don't forget that on the other side of the candlestick stands the 28.7 million coins unlocking on 9.18! The Senate just got a 630-page revised version of the CLARITY Act. And the biggest change isn't simply “more crypto regulation.” It’s who gets regulated. 👀 Instead of trying to regulate autonomous code directly, the revision focuses on people or groups with meaningful control over a DeFi protocol. If a protocol is only “decentralized” on paper — while a known group can change its rules, functions or consensus — it could face CFTC registration and BSA/AML requirements. That creates a new line: R#PPI higher than expected, tonight's CPI sets the direction
CPI explodes tonight! Short on the rally, don't catch the flying knife
CPI at 20:30 tonight, market expects year-on-year 3.4%, core month-on-month down to 0.2%, inflation not that scary, but the probability of rate hikes has soared to 73%.
Look at what the pre-market funds are doing. Overnight tech stocks were bloodied, Micron down 5%, Intel down 5.5%, the intention of funds to retreat from AI overvalued sectors is very clear. But the pre-market trend changed today, Nasdaq futures up 0.64% pre-market, Oracle up 5.77% pre-market, funds are betting CPI won't blow past expectations, pre-positioning for an oversold rebound.
I'll give the conclusion directly: don't mistake the rebound for a reversal. Today's offensive direction is not in chips, but event-driven. ACV was acquired by Copart at a 45% premium, soaring 44% pre-market, this is certainty premium. SpaceX up 0.7% pre-market, but concerns about data center expansion slowing are real.
The core logic is simple: before CPI release, bulls are probing attacks, bears are ready to retreat anytime. If CPI exceeds expectations, rate hike shadow returns, tech stocks get hit again. If it meets expectations, oversold rebound can take a bite, but don't get attached to the fight. Tonight's direction is "buy the rumor, sell the fact" $SOXL ⚙️ Crypto Market Impact Path: From Data to Price
Tonight's market will follow the transmission chain below, moving very fast:
20:30 Data Release: Core CPI figures are published.
20:30-20:35 Algorithmic Trading: Quant bots instantly price according to preset programs, BTC$BTC volatility may reach 1.8 times the usual level within 30 minutes.
20:35-21:00 Leverage Cleanup: Open interest in derivatives markets has dropped to a four-month low, the market is "thin" and extremely sensitive to data. If the direction is wrong, long liquidations could far exceed shorts (referencing a 5:1 liquidation ratio during nonfarm payroll data).
After 21:00 Trend Confirmation: Whales and large holders have been inactive for a week, waiting for the dust to settle. The real trend will be confirmed by spot buy/sell orders. #PPI高于预期，今晚CPI定方向 #财报观察员：甲骨文AI云收入增121% #BTC现货ETF连续流出 Tonight's drop is not just a simple technical correction; it's like three knives cutting down at once!📉
Originally, $BTC was still struggling above $79,000, but as soon as the macro data came out, it dropped below $77,000 within minutes. The core contradiction in the market now is simple: inflation, oil prices, and rate hike expectations are all heating up simultaneously.
① PPI exceeded expectations, directly igniting the first fire 🔥
US August PPI rose 5.4% year-over-year, significantly higher than market expectations, and the core PPI increase over the past 12 months also reached 4.7%.
This means the market is starting to worry again: inflation may not come down as quickly as imagined.
So just after BTC briefly stood above $79,000, once the data was released, funds immediately pushed it back below $77,000.
② US-Iran conflict escalates, oil prices add another blow 🛢️
A new round of conflict between the US and Iran escalated, with supply risks near the Strait of Hormuz further fermenting, and Brent crude oil breaking above $100 again.
Once oil prices stay high, inflation expectations are hard to cool down quickly.
This is definitely not good news for risk assets.
③ Rate hike expectations soar, US Treasury yields continue to suppress risk assets 📊
The market's expectation for a 25 basis point rate hike in September has clearly heated up, with the probability once jumping from around 42% to over 70%.
Meanwhile, the 30-year US Treasury yield rose to 5.353%, a 19-year high.
#DailyOrbit #10年期美债逼近5%关口，回购难阻收益率上行 The 10-year US Treasury yield is approaching 5% — a figure that represents the "line of life and death" for global risk assets.
The surge in US Treasury yields means that the risk-free rate is rising. Stocks, cryptocurrencies, real estate — the valuation models for all risk assets need to be recalculated. What's more troublesome is that repo operations can't stop the yield from rising, indicating the market is selling US Treasuries rather than buying them.
Why the sell-off? Expanding fiscal deficits, debt ceiling crises, stubborn inflation, and the Federal Reserve's potential to continue raising rates — each factor is weakening the appeal of US Treasuries. Even the world's largest sovereign wealth fund is considering reducing its holdings by $80 billion in US Treasuries, reflecting the market's shaken confidence.
For the crypto market, the surge in US Treasury yields is a short-term negative. But in the long run, the day US Treasury credit is shaken is when Bitcoin's narrative as a "non-sovereign hard asset" strengthens. When "risk-free assets" are no longer risk-free, capital has to find a new home.
The 5% threshold is both a pressure point and an opportunity. $RAY RAY bulls hold strong cards: protocol revenue surged 363% in 30 days, with a single-day buyback of $640,000 on September 8, hitting a 19-month high. On-chain single-day transactions reached 3.1 million, active addresses 160,000, and staked SOL hit a historic high of 470,000 tokens. This is solid buying pressure driving the market.
But the bears' cards are even more lethal: the spot market has seen net selling for 10 consecutive days, totaling $23 million sold off. The daily RSI has surged to 81, indicating extreme overbought conditions. The price has jumped from 0.5 to 1.59, tripling in a week, with profit-taking piling up.
The core logic for shorting is simple: the buyback flywheel depends on StonkFun's launch hype, which is short-term sentiment. Once the hype fades, fee income will plummet, and buybacks will stop immediately. The 10 consecutive days of net selling in the spot market already indicate someone is using the rally to offload.
However, the biggest risk for shorts is a short squeeze. If fee data continues to explode, buyback buying will persist, repeatedly squeezing the bears.
Therefore: take light short positions with stop-loss set above 1.75. Exit if volume breaks above the previous high of 1.74. If fees decline and price falls below 1.55, the short logic will be validated. #波动雷达：币种异动观察 @OKX星球 BlackRock has aggressively purchased $251.4 million worth of ETH over 20 days, maintaining continuous net inflows without interruption.
In the past 20 trading days, BlackRock's ETHB fund has cumulatively bought $251.4 million in Ethereum, with an increase of $13.9 million just yesterday alone.
The key point is that during these 20 trading days, ETHB has never experienced a single day of capital outflow, consistently maintaining a net inflow status.
In stark contrast, its sister fund ETHA and Fidelity's FETH both experienced varying degrees of capital outflows during the same period.
Capital is clearly diverging, with institutional funds concentrating on BlackRock's ETHB.
Other ETH spot ETFs are facing capital withdrawals, while only ETHB continues to attract funds, indicating that institutional capital is not entering the market broadly but is switching internally among different Ethereum ETFs.
Therefore, although ETHB itself shows strong buying pressure, it does not mean the entire Ethereum ETF sector has fully recovered.
Institutions seem to be selectively positioning rather than collectively bullish on ETH.
The inflow to one fund does not represent an overall market improvement. This is a personal opinion and not investment advice $ETH $ZEC $SOL Early Pan gave the 4330‑4350 consolidation idea, Hangqing pressured and fell as expected, dropping from around 4350 to 4326, with the Pan surface moving in the initial 25-day space.
The consolidation-led pattern was fully realized, with no reversal signals appearing; the rebound was just an opportunity to consolidate. The heavy CPI data will be released tonight at 20:30, and Hangqing's volatility will further increase. Before the data, the Pan surface is in a consolidation and accumulation phase, so do not blindly chase $BTC #PPI higher than expected, tonight's CPI will set the direction CFTC says it's futures, but the tax bureau hasn't approved yet

#CLARITY替代修正案公布，贝森特呼吁参院推进
#伊朗允许BTC与USDT外贸结算 #BTC现货ETF连续流出 $BTC #布油重返100美元，特朗普称选后将下跌
Trump said "oil prices will fall after the election," essentially admitting that high oil prices will last at least two more months. The pressure for a rate hike in September will not disappear because of a political promise.
Brent crude closed at $101.21 on Wednesday, surpassing $100 for the first time since July. WTI closed at $96.05. The US military destroyed 5 Iranian oil tankers, and Iran claimed retaliation by attacking 8 oil tankers and 2 US warships. The daily throughput of the Strait of Hormuz plummeted from the normal 18 million barrels to 4.9 million barrels.
End prices have already exploded. The average US gasoline price is $4.22 per gallon, up 42% from before the war; diesel is $5.94, up 58%.
Trump's exact words were — "Shortly after the election, oil prices will drop sharply," and gasoline could eventually fall below $2. But he also admitted "it will take a little longer than the midterm elections."
To translate: don't expect oil prices to drop before the election, and they may not drop immediately after either. The US-Iran conflict has entered its seventh month, and Trump said he will not change the Iran strategy for the midterm elections.
For the crypto market, oil prices breaking $100 + gasoline up 42% means the energy component of August CPI will not look good. The market has already pushed the probability of a September rate hike above 60%, and Trump's statement will not change that number. Inflation data is the real judge, not political promises.CL at $96, do you dare to chase?
First, look at the surface: geopolitical surge, CPI hanging high, crypto market kneels first.
In the past week, CL violently surged from just above 90 to 106, then fell back to around 96.
At the same time, BTC dropped from 82,000 to around 77,000, with weekly continuous decline, and ETF net outflows nearly $450 million in three days.
You think the crypto market is falling on its own? Wrong. Oil prices are the real invisible market maker this week.
First thing: oil price is the true macro amplifier.
Middle East flares up, oil price surges.
Oil price surges, inflation expectations take off.
Inflation expectations take off, the Fed dares not ease.
Fed doesn’t ease, BTC gets pressed down hard.
You have to memorize this chain.
You’re not trading CL, you’re betting on whether the Middle East will accidentally ignite conflict.
You don’t even know where the Strait of Hormuz is, yet you stake your wealth on its news.
Second thing: tonight’s CPI, CL is the detonator.
Today at 8:30 AM ET, US August CPI will be released. The previous PPI exceeded expectations, year-on-year 5.4%, with energy contribution obvious.
The market has priced in a 70% chance of a 25bp rate hike at next week’s FOMC. The 30-year US Treasury yield hit a 19-year high.
If core CPI and energy components remain hot:
Hike expectations strengthen → USD strengthens → BTC under pressure → CL may surge again to 100-104.
If CPI is moderate:
Oil price premium falls back → risk appetite recovers → BTC rebounds from oversold → CL retests 93-95.
Third thing: technically, 96 is not an entry point, it’s a minefield.
CL daily: surged from just above 90 to 104, then retested 96, structurally just a consolidation. But short-term overbought then correction, volatility is huge.
Support: 93-95 (strong), 90 (psychological level).
Resistance: 100-104, 105.
Chasing longs at 96 CL? Where to place stop loss? At 93, $3 stop loss, daily volatility $5, easily stops you out.
Long-short showdown, judge for yourself
On one side:
Middle East geopolitical premium not gone, any conflict escalation can push oil prices higher
CL broke previous high then retested, structure intact
Strong support at 93-95
Inflation trade still on, oil price is the biggest amplifier
On the other side:
Fell back from 104, short-term overbought
CPI released tonight, all bets before data
BTC ETF continuous outflows, risk appetite suppressed
If CPI is moderate, oil price premium quickly retreats
CL resistance above: 100 → 104 → 105
CL support below: 93-95 → 90
Trading strategy
Wait for CL to retest 93-95 and Middle East news, then lightly go long with stop loss below 90.
If after CPI oil price breaks below 95 and risk appetite recovers, expect short-term pullback, don’t hold hard.
BTC:
Bullish bias: defend 76k-75.5k, lightly go long, target 79k-80k, stop loss 74.8k.
Bearish bias: rebound at 79k-80k blocked and CPI hot, try short, target 75.5k-73k.
Break below 75.5k, short-term turns weak, target 70k.
CL is not crypto, but it’s the real market maker for crypto this week.
You can ignore crude oil, but crude oil is definitely watching your position.
96 is not an entry point, it’s a minefield. Before data lands, all bravery is gambling with your life.
Don’t use leverage to bet on CPI, that’s not trading, that’s buying a lottery ticket.
Tonight’s CPI, are you long CL or short BTC?
$BTC $CL $BZ #PPI高于预期，今晚CPI定方向 Tonight's US CPI and Bitcoin + US Treasury linkage analysis (Beijing time 20:30, US August CPI, the last key inflation data before the Fed's September meeting)
Core logic in one sentence: Bitcoin is a high-leverage risk asset, and its pricing anchor is the 【real interest rate (nominal US Treasury yield - inflation)】. The higher the CPI → the higher the Fed's rate hike expectations and US Treasury yields → the higher the opportunity cost of holding Bitcoin, putting pressure on the coin price; if CPI cools down, US Treasury yields fall, which is favorable for BTC rebound
⚠️Key point: The market prioritizes 【Core CPI (excluding food and energy)】, not the overall CPI; the Fed bases its decisions on core CPI
Market consensus expectations: overall CPI month-on-month 0.4%, year-on-year 3.4%; core CPI month-on-month 0.2%, year-on-year 2.4%
Preceding background: Yesterday's PPI exceeded expectations, pushing the September rate hike probability close to 70%, 10-year US Treasury yields rose, Bitcoin has already fallen in advance, and the market is priced with a hawkish bias, so the data tonight has very little margin for error
Three scenario simulations
Scenario 1: CPI (especially core CPI) > expectations (sticky inflation, hawkish)
• Change: 10-year US Treasury yields continue to rise, the dollar strengthens, and the market raises the probability of a September rate hike
• BTC reaction: rapid short-term plunge, flash crashes are common, leveraged positions liquidate en masse, lower support levels are tested;
• Logic: real interest rates rise, funds withdraw from high-risk assets like crypto and shift to US Treasuries for risk-free interest; On September 11, the International Energy Agency (IEA) released its monthly oil report, lowering the global oil demand forecast. Due to the ongoing conflict in Iran, Middle East energy supply is disrupted, forcing consuming countries to adapt to supply contraction, and oil consumption may further decline in the coming months.
The IEA expanded its expected global oil demand reduction for 2026 by 940,000 barrels per day, to 2.5 million barrels per day, marking the largest annual average demand drop since the 2020 pandemic recession. Although demand forecasts have been lowered, the supply-side contraction is even greater, delaying the global oil market's return to supply surplus until 2027.
The report warns that global oil inventories are being depleted at a record pace, with commercial stock buffers rapidly thinning. The current market relies on inventory drawdowns to fill the supply-demand gap; if supply cannot be restored, balancing the market will require further reductions in oil consumption. This year, the daily supply deficit in the oil market has expanded to 1.7 million barrels, higher than previous estimates.
From a macro perspective: In the short term, oil prices remain geopolitically supported, and sustained high oil prices continue to push inflation stickiness, which will keep influencing Federal Reserve rate hike pricing. Even if demand declines, as long as Middle East shipping risks are not resolved, the pressure from energy inflation will not completely dissipate. #红海风险扩大，百美元油价再现 $BTC 9.11 Evening (Bitcoin, Ethereum) Strategy Sharing $ETH
Recently, macroeconomic bearish factors have concentratedly hit the market. Non-farm payrolls and PPI have consecutively exerted pressure. Brent crude oil surged to $108, the US-Iran situation continues to escalate, and inflation stickiness remains stubborn. The market's expectation for a Fed rate hike in September has exceeded 70%, US Treasury yields are rising, risk aversion is heating up, and liquidity during the day session is clearly insufficient. The market generally anticipates CPI to continue being bearish, but under this consensus, one must guard against a data surprise triggering a reverse rally. It is not recommended to blindly take heavy positions before the data release; beware of being swept by violent fluctuations. Wait for the data to land before making decisions. The previously emphasized 77300-77800 range, originally a support zone below, was directly broken under PPI bearish pressure, completing a bottom-to-top reversal and now becoming a key resistance above. The market dipped to 76400 in the early morning, continuously running below the range without an effective breakout. As long as the rebound cannot hold above this range, the weak pattern will not change. The overall market remains weak; maintain a high-short strategy, be sure to set stop losses, and avoid risks from sudden news reversals.

XRP has already dropped about eight percent
The price has returned to around $1.35
The regulatory boot is still hanging in the air
The regulatory coins themselves have already crouched down; September 15 is the voting day
Strictly speaking, it's more like a procedural hurdle
Only after passing it can things move forward
But the market doesn't care if it's the final review or a preliminary round
As long as the date is marked on the calendar
Narrative coins have to pay the ticket first. Bitcoin has fallen below 77,000 these days
It's more like paying the bill for PPI and interest rate expectations
Not repaying XRP's regulatory debt
Ethereum dropped below 2,500
Still the same macro pricing
In the European and US sessions, they look like safe havens
But in reality, they're just bigger in size
The fall sounds heavier
Dogecoin is even less qualified to be a safe haven
Sliding from around 0.10 to 0.084
The old high Beta problem strikes again
Regulatory coins sneeze first
Meme coins cough along
Not because it was also written into the bill
But because when the risk switch is turned off
Retail positions are reduced first, so will it follow?
It already is following
Just the path is different
$XRP is taking an event discount
$BTC and $ETH are taking an interest rate discount
DOGE is taking an emotion discount
Before the bill lands, don't think of mainstream and meme coins as safe houses
Mistaken killings can happen together
But official recognition is hard to come by together
Voting on the 15th
The Fed on the 16th
Two days of consecutive announcements
The ones that fall first don't necessarily rebound first
The ones that fall later aren't necessarily more resilient Finally, let's wrap up by looking at the news and which data points need to be observed going forward.
September 10th saw heavier settlements: Bitcoin spot ETF had a net outflow of about 280 million in one day, the heaviest since July; Ethereum also saw an outflow of about 30 million, and Solana had a small net outflow. Ripple, on the other hand, slightly absorbed about 5 million that day, becoming one of the few to still have inflows.
Institutions have been selling for several days, but the spot market slightly bounced in the evening, meaning selling pressure and short-term rebounds are offsetting each other. You can go long, but don’t mistake this green candle as a full return of funds. Dogecoin lacks institutional stories, so it’s even more important to hold 0.08. Without breaking 83,000 effectively, it’s still just a rebound within the range.
Going forward, watch whether BTC/ETH ETFs can continue, whether SOL funds continue to slow, whether XRP funds and price diverge, and since DOGE’s holdings are weak, it’s even more important to maintain stop-losses. Take profits when you can, but stop-losses are more important than taking profits.A trader achieved a 46.68% return in 90 days, yet the current group of followers collectively has -612,829.85 USDT.
This is not a "who is right or wrong" conclusion, but two sets of OKX public data from Milies L:
Trader's profit curve: positive
Current followers' group summary: negative
His maximum drawdown over 90 days is 7.04%, ATS is 64.08, status FORMAL, credibility HIGH.
The contrast is significant, but the reason cannot be directly inferred from the public data. The followers' entry times, position settings, and exit points are not visible; OKX also does not provide a fixed historical window for copyTotalPnl.
Therefore, I prefer to treat this as a research reminder:
When looking at lead traders, you cannot only look at how much they earned.
You also need to see whether the followers ultimately made money in sync.
I will continue to track such samples of "trader profits, followers losses."
Data is as of this collection.
This article is based solely on OKX public data for trader behavior research and does not constitute investment advice.$LAB: Unlocking on the 12th, is this big drop a shakeout or a trap?
The current intense market volatility has two possibilities.
The first is what you suspect: the main players deliberately shake out all the weak retail investors. When the unlocking window arrives on September 12, they use buybacks and market making to push the price up, attracting new funds with the unlocking narrative.
But the second risk is greater: the unlocking itself is a huge selling pressure. The current drop is pricing in this selling pressure early; the shakeout is just an illusion, and on the unlocking day, the market will be dumped and escape.
The biggest hidden risk for LAB is evident in on-chain data: the project insiders hold over 95% of the token supply, with a large concentration of chips in a few big holders. From August to December, there will be monthly unlocking releases, continuously adding new circulating supply to the market. This has happened before: public investors’ lockups were unilaterally extended, and by the time unlocking occurred, the token price was nearly zero—a cautionary precedent.
Although the project has a buyback and burn mechanism, the scale of buyback funds is questionable in offsetting the selling pressure caused by unlocking. Big holders have too many chips; if they choose to sell, they can easily crash the market, and buyback efforts will struggle to fully absorb the massive selling pressure.
Shakeout completed, price rally after unlocking
If big holders choose to lock their tokens and not sell, buybacks continue to exert strength, and the overall market (BTC/ETH) environment cooperates, the shakeout will complete, short-term chips will be washed out, and the price will rise after unlocking using the narrative. Risk: even if the price rallies, it is likely to be a pulse move, with highly concentrated chips that can be dumped at any time. #PPI高于预期，今晚CPI定方向 The AI bull market isn't over yet, but the era of "just touching AI means a rise" is really over.🔥
Tonight's $ORCL and $ADBE earnings reports are the most direct examples.
Let's look at Oracle first.
Q1 revenue was $19.3 billion, up 30% year-over-year; cloud infrastructure revenue surged 121% year-over-year, and the FY2027 full-year revenue target was raised to $90 billion.
AI infrastructure demand is still there, with orders, revenue, and guidance all solid, so after the earnings release, the stock rose about 7% in after-hours trading.
Now let's look at Adobe.
Revenue was $6.76 billion, up 13% year-over-year, and AI-related ARR grew more than 150% year-over-year.
But the market's response was: a drop.
It fell about 2.3% after hours.
Why?
Because the market is no longer satisfied with "AI is growing fast" and is starting to ask:
How much real revenue has AI brought you? How much profit? When can it be realized?
This is actually the biggest change in the current AI market:
Having AI ≠ guaranteed rise
Having growth ≠ guaranteed rise
Only companies that can sustainably turn AI into orders, revenue, and profit deserve a market premium.
So from now on, when looking at AI companies, I will focus on these 4 things:
• Whether AI has truly converted into orders and revenue
• Whether there is pricing power, and if ARPU and profit margins can be increased
#DailyOrbit I have a 0.2083 short position on $ADA with 50x leverage. The current price is 0.2021, with an unrealized profit of +148.82%. At that time, I saw it rebound to the previous resistance level and stall. With Grayscale withdrawing its spot ETF application and the ecosystem TVL shrinking, the bullish narrative couldn't hold, so I shorted based on the structure.
ADA has been highly volatile recently; futures trading volume once surged to six times that of spot, with rapid spikes under high leverage. Although there are positives, institutional confidence is lacking, and there is heavy selling pressure above.
I’m not stubborn with the 50x short position; I’m locking in most of the unrealized profit first, moving the stop loss on the remaining position above the cost. If it breaks back above 0.208 or rebounds with volume, I’ll exit—no hard holding. $BTC $ARB One hour left until the CPI announcement, let's speculate a bit on the current script of the Americans
Currently, the US Treasury's Bassett is frequently leaking information
And the US Treasury has a team of operators aiming to reduce the real debt burden of outstanding government bonds
Because the current US federal debt is huge, long-term bonds carry a long-term interest burden. If they can repurchase and cancel bonds when long-term bond prices plummet, it's equivalent to settling huge long-term debt at a discount: the same dollars can buy back bonds with a higher face value, directly cutting future interest expenses for decades
So how to push long-term bonds down cheaply? It requires strong inflation data and rising expectations of interest rate hikes.
At this time, the Treasury steps in to repurchase long-term bonds, redeeming high face value debt with less cash, effectively a "debt discount clearance"
So the script is:
Endure inflation, maintain high interest rate expectations
Once the repurchase task is nearly done, shift to a narrative of rate cuts
This script can also help Wash, stabilizing the so-called independence of the Federal Reserve
If this script is truly followed, manipulating tonight's CPI data is possible, but a compromise of not manipulating and letting Wash hawk out is also possible
$XAU is very likely to break below 4300 to test 4250
$BTC will completely break below 76300 to test 75000
$ETH is relatively strong but also very likely to break below 2435 to test the 2360 level

#PPI高于预期，今晚CPI定方向 25 dropped to 0.045, then to 0.04—this isn't a shakeout, it's a slow squeeze. Have you ever thought that the ones really being liquidated aren't the bears, but those who keep adding positions along the way? Seeing LAB's recent move, my first reaction wasn't "a huge drop," but that the derivatives structure was already very fragile. From 25 to 0.65, then to 0.045, every seemingly stabilizing moment was like handing a sharper knife to bottom-fishers. Average price 0.25, current price 0.045, still preparing to buy the last order at 0.04—this isn't a trading plan, it's being dragged along by the market. BEAT is the same. From 6 to 0.13, then to 0.07, rebounding to 0.2 and not moving away, now all you can do is watch. Both positions are "small," but together, sentiment has been worn down. The real issue isn't how much you've lost, but the position structure no longer allows you to make rational judgments. What is the market actually trading here? It's not about "whether there will be a rebound," but "who can't hold out first." Bears make significant profits, while bulls are deeply trapped. If funding rates remain negative, squeeze conditions are accumulating. But note, squeezing doesn't mean reversal; it only makes the rebound faster, shorter, and easier to lure people into entering. In LAB and BEAT trends, rebounds often first kill short sellers, then chase long ones. The path to a bullish side is: short covering drives a sharp rally, LAB returns to the 0.07 to 0.1 range, BEAT hits around 0.12, giving those trapped a window to reduce positions. The risk of a bearish side is: without genuine buying support, the rebound will only replace another batch$ETH This time I will treat it as a position in the altcoin market to buy
$ETH is currently around $2460.
My reasons for buying ETH are completely different from $BTC.
For BTC, I look at the overall market direction; for ETH, I care more about whether, after the CPI risk passes, the market turns Risk-on again, and whether funds will flow again from BTC to ETH and altcoins.
Previously, ETH spot ETFs have already seen significant capital inflows again, and currently about one-third of ETH supply is staked.
So if ETH returns to above 2400, I won’t treat it as a simple rebound trade.
I will first buy half.
Because if tonight’s CPI is lower than expected and interest rate trades suddenly reverse, high Beta mainstream coins like ETH might not give much time to buy slowly.
Conversely, if CPI explodes and it falls to 2300 or even lower, the remaining half is truly for catching panic selling.BTC, ETH, and crude oil all in critical condition, who is leading the pricing on the eve of CPI?
$BTC has declined for four consecutive days, hitting a low of 76410. The probability of a rate hike in September has risen to 71.3%, risk-free yields are increasing, and zero-coupon assets are under pressure. Institutions are buying in the 75500-76500 range, but trading volume is shrinking and the rebound is weak. If CPI exceeds expectations, 75000 will be tested.
$ETH rebounded from 2404 but with weak momentum. Exchange balances have dropped to 15.5 million, a multi-year low, but the price is still struggling around 2400. There were $347 million in liquidations in 24 hours, 86% of which were long positions. Once 2400 is broken, downside space opens up.
$CL crude oil plunged from 106.80 to 96.15, down 4.91%. The Gulf Cooperation Council plans to meet with Iran, squeezing out the supply cut premium. However, the Houthis seized Perim Island in the Mandeb Strait, so Red Sea risks remain. The oil price pullback is a short-term breather; shipping threats persist.
Three CPI scenarios: core month-on-month at 0.2%, easing rate hike pressure, BTC may recover 78000; 0.3%, rate hike almost certain, BTC tests 75000; above 0.3%, risk assets under full pressure.
The crude oil pullback provides a breathing window, but CPI is the real judge tonight.
#PPI高于预期，今晚CPI定方向 $ZEN is the coin with my largest position
I am still adding during this pullback
ZEN is currently around $6.5, which is also the coin I have accumulated the most after buying along the way.
Why do I buy when ZEC drops, and also buy when ZEN drops?
Because the roles of these two positions are completely different.
ZEC now has a market cap exceeding $20 billion, while ZEN is still much smaller. Horizen has now migrated to the Base system, ZEN staking is also live, and the rewards come not only from DAO subsidies but also from sources officially listed such as L3 sequencer fees, zkVerify node earnings, and later protocol and application fee sharing.
$ZEN 🔥 CRYPTO AND THE MACRO SPIRAL
US PPI higher than expected, rising oil prices make the market cautious about Fed policy. $BTC is under pressure, while $ETH and $SOL show divergence.
Chain of effects to watch: Oil ↑ → inflation ↑ → interest rate expectations ↑ → USD/yields ↑ → crypto under pressure.
CPI and the upcoming Fed meeting will be the focus. Crypto is increasingly sensitive to macro flows, no longer moving independently.I really can't imagine how much pressure the crypto space would face if Trump loses Congress in the November midterm elections.
What the market is rushing for now might not just be a bull market, but the last window for crypto policy in the Trump era.
If the Republicans hold Congress, there is still room to advance the CLARITY Act; once the Democrats regain control, regulatory progress, legislation, and congressional oversight could all change.
More importantly, the current macro environment is also unfavorable: PPI exceeded expectations, CPI is about to be released, the 10-year US Treasury yield is approaching 5%, and BTC spot ETF funds continue to be under pressure.
So what really scares the market is not regulation itself, but sudden policy shifts and disrupted expectations.
This round of BTC and ETH market movement is, to some extent, also a race against time.
How much longer can Trump's crypto policy window remain open?
$BTC $ETH $ZEC
#CPI #CLARITYAct #FederalReserve #BTCTonight's CPI will decide life or death, with geopolitical and interest rate battles intensifying
U.S. stocks fell for the fourth consecutive trading day overnight. PPI data rebounded beyond expectations combined with Middle East tensions, oil prices surged, U.S. Treasury yields approached the 5% threshold, and market expectations for a September rate hike rose to nearly 70%.
Pre-market futures fluctuated slightly; Dow and S&P futures turned slightly positive, while Nasdaq futures weakened slightly. Growth stocks are more sensitive to interest rate changes, with cautious investor sentiment awaiting tonight's 8:30 PM CPI data release.
Market highlights
1. Oil: Geopolitical sentiment shifts rapidly
Signs of easing in the Red Sea situation caused WTI crude oil to drop sharply intraday, falling below the $100 mark. The short-term geopolitical premium quickly faded. However, note that Middle East conflicts are highly recurrent, and oil prices carry the risk of rebounding at any time. The risk of energy-driven inflation has not been fully eliminated.
2. U.S. Treasury market pressure remains
The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield hovers at high levels, nearing the 5% psychological barrier. Even with oil prices falling, the massive U.S. fiscal deficit continues to pressure government bond supply, keeping yields elevated and persistently suppressing growth stock valuations.
3. Individual stock pre-market performance
Oracle's earnings report was positive, with pre-market gains near 7%; tech chip stocks like Nvidia and Micron strengthened slightly; defensive sectors showed relative resilience. The tech stock market highly depends on tonight's CPI results, as high-valuation growth sectors fear inflation exceeding expectations. $WLD has reached 0.4
Earlier, when WLD was at 0.48 and 0.50 dollars, I didn’t chase it.
I made it very clear that 0.4-0.42 is the price range where I want to bottom-fish.
Now it has not only reached that, $WLD has already returned to around 0.4 dollars.
So I won’t continue to be greedy for 0.38 or 0.35.
Because my logic for buying WLD is not based on short-term candlesticks, but on the development of AI to the point where "proving you are a real person" might become an internet infrastructure.
Earlier, World pushed ProveKit’s zero-knowledge proof capabilities toward the device side. If this path succeeds, the value of World ID will be much greater than just a simple AI concept coin.
Therefore, I will first buy back half of my planned position.$BTC 77,000 USD
I started to buy back the positions I reduced earlier
BTC has now returned to around 76,800–77,000 USD.
This drop was actually not unexpected.
Oil price $CL previously surged to around 110 USD, the US 10-year Treasury yield approached 5%, and the market's pricing for a 25BP rate hike in September once reached nearly 70%. Yesterday's PPI didn't offer much comfort to the market.
But I need to clarify one thing:
Higher macro risks do not mean BTC has entered a new bear market.
I reduced leverage and shrank positions earlier precisely to wait for data risks to push the price down before buying again.
Now that 77,000 is very close to the key 76,000 level I've been watching, I won't just wait empty-handed anymore.
I'll buy half first.
If CPI continues to push $BTC down to 76,000 or even briefly below, I'll use the remaining half to handle it.
#PPI高于预期，今晚CPI定方向 The Red Sea conflict flares up again, with Houthi forces harassing ships and attacking Saudi energy facilities. Maritime routes are in peril, and concerns over energy supply have spread from the Strait of Hormuz to the Red Sea. Trump said that oil prices might only fall after the midterm elections in November, but no ceasefire or production increase measures have been announced yet. Therefore, high energy prices remain stuck, likely exceeding market expectations.
Although crude oil prices have dropped by more than 30%, the battle around the $100 mark is fierce. High oil prices push up inflation expectations, with about a 70% chance of a rate hike in September, suppressing risk assets.
On the BTC side, short-term pressure is obvious. Rising oil prices combined with rate hike expectations will lower risk asset valuations, and the cost of borrowing increases, reducing the appeal of interest-free assets like Bitcoin.
However, from a medium to long-term perspective, the more stubborn energy inflation is, the more the credit of fiat currencies is eroded. BTC, as a hard asset not controlled by sovereign powers, will have its narrative repeatedly reinforced.
Tonight's CPI is the key to short-term market direction. If inflation data remains hot, coupled with diesel prices approaching $6, inflation anxiety will continue to ferment, and BTC will likely test around 75,000. If core inflation unexpectedly cools and rate hike expectations fall, BTC will have a chance to rebound and recover. Geopolitical conflicts are just external disturbances; ultimately, the market depends on inflation data landing. #红海风险扩大，百美元油价再现 UNI's Prospective Value Analysis for Building a Liquidity Network for All Assets
Core Positioning
Uniswap's goal is not just to be a crypto token exchange but to create a permissionless, programmable, cross-chain universal liquidity infrastructure network.
In theory, crypto tokens, stablecoins, MEME coins, RWA (real-world asset tokenization), and institutional compliant assets can all connect to this network to complete trading and market making, enabling any asset to have 24/7 on-chain liquidity without relying on centralized exchange listing reviews and high listing fees.
V4 Hooks modularity + Unichain Layer 2 + Permissioned pools are the three key technological pillars to realize the "liquidity network for all assets."
✅ Strategic Value Highlights
1. Greatly lowers the barrier to market creation for assets, unleashing massive liquidity for long-tail assets
Centralized exchanges have high listing costs, long cycles, and strict screening, leaving many small and long-tail assets without trading venues.
UNI's permissionless pool creation allows anyone to establish liquidity markets for any asset at very low marginal cost.
The $43.4 billion stablecoin trading volume in Q2 proves that the largest capital track of stable assets is already operational; on this basis, it can continue to accommodate MEME, native project tokens, bonds, funds, tokenized stocks, and other diversified assets, forming a liquidity reservoir for all asset categories.
2. V4 Hooks are programmable and compatible with both public permissionless pools and institutional compliant permissioned pools
- Regular pools: maintain DeFi's native permissionless nature, targeting ordinary users, suitable for crypto-native assets;
- Permissioned pools: embed compliance checks via Hooks, allowing only qualified investors to participate, supporting institutional tokenized funds like BlackRock BUIDL and bond-type RWA assets.
A single underlying network serving both retail and institutions, balancing free innovation and regulatory compliance, opening the gateway for traditional financial assets to go on-chain—this is the key advantage distinguishing it from other DEXs.
3. Unichain Layer 2 fills performance gaps, supporting large-scale full-asset circulation
Ethereum mainnet's high gas fees have hindered large, high-frequency, and RWA asset trading.
By building its own L2 Unichain, it reduces transaction gas and increases throughput, enabling massive diverse assets to be exchanged, rebalanced, and arbitraged at low cost, amplifying the liquidity network's capacity by an order of magnitude.
Stablecoin funds and institutional RWA funds can be massively deposited into Unichain, feeding back protocol fee revenue.
4. Value capture closed loop forms: the more assets and active trading, the stronger UNI's earnings and burn
After the UNIfication fee switch is implemented, a portion of the trading fees generated by all assets in the network flows back to the protocol and enters the TokenJar contract for buyback and burn.
The more asset types and total trading volume → the higher the protocol fees → the larger the burn scale.
If large-scale RWA tokenization is realized in the future, with massive real-world assets joining the network, it will bring incremental trading volume, further amplifying the cash flow flywheel, upgrading the UNI token from a pure governance token to an equity certificate of the universal asset liquidity network.
5. Cross-chain liquidity routing becomes the unified liquidity base for a multi-chain world
Multiple EVM chains have already been deployed, and with the UniswapX intent trading protocol, cross-chain assets can be routed and matched within the UNI network without being limited by a single public chain.
In the future, no matter which chain an asset is deployed on, it can call on UNI's liquidity, becoming the public liquidity infrastructure for the entire DeFi world📉 This round of BTC decline is not just a technical correction but a convergence of triple macro pressures.
① PPI as the direct trigger
US August PPI year-on-year at 5.4%, core PPI remains high. After the data release, BTC quickly fell from above 79,000 to below 77,000, indicating the market's heightened sensitivity to inflation.
② US-Iran situation + rising oil prices
Geopolitical conflicts pushed crude oil prices up. After oil prices broke $100, the market again worries about the chain "energy → inflation → prolonged tightening," naturally pressuring risk assets.
③ Rate hike expectations + rising US Treasury yields
September rate hike expectations have clearly intensified, with the 30-year US Treasury yield surpassing 5.35%. As risk-free yields continue to rise, capital's risk appetite for highly volatile assets like BTC and ETH decreases.
So the core issue now is not "why BTC suddenly dropped," but that macro conditions are simultaneously tightening liquidity expectations.
In the short term, focus on whether BTC can hold 76,000–77,000. If it holds, there is still a chance for a rebound; if it breaks down with volume, then continue to watch 74,000–75,000.
Don't guess the bottom or chase shorts; wait for price confirmation.

Oracle AI cloud surges 121%, but chip stocks crash first as a salute
Oracle's earnings exploded—Q1 revenue of 19.35 billion exceeded expectations, cloud infrastructure revenue surged 121% year-over-year, remaining performance obligations surged to 664 billion, after-hours rose over 9%. Jensen Huang added: AI infrastructure spending expected to reach 3-4 trillion by 2030.
But the market didn't buy it. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index closed down 2.66%, Intel fell over 5%, AMD fell over 3%, SK Hynix ADR fell over 5%, Micron and SanDisk fell over 4%. Japan and South Korea opened continuing the crash, Kioxia fell 6.6%.
The logic is very fragmented: the AI demand story is getting stronger, but chip stocks are having their valuations cut. PPI exceeded expectations + oil prices broke 100, the probability of rate hikes soared to 71.3%, high-valuation growth stocks took the first hit.
My thinking: Oracle's data shows AI capital expenditure hasn't stopped, the long-term logic for storage and computing power remains intact. But short-term rate hike expectations are pressing down, chip stocks will be very volatile. Wait for CPI to land, then see if the market cuts valuations first or recognizes the logic first.
