"Cold wallets are not invincible: The 'physical side-channel attacks' on Bitcoin hardware private keys"
Many retail investors mistakenly believe that simply storing Bitcoin $BTC private keys in offline hardware cold wallets is foolproof. However, from the perspective of professional physical hardware security labs, hardware cold devices still have vulnerabilities to side-channel attacks.
Main attack and defense dimensions at the physical level:
1. Electromagnetic radiation and power analysis: After obtaining the physical hardware device, attackers use high-precision oscilloscopes to capture tiny power fluctuations and electromagnetic leaks from the chip while executing the signing algorithm, allowing them to reverse-engineer the private key within milliseconds.
2. Fault injection and voltage glitching: By applying microsecond-level instantaneous voltage drops or laser irradiation on the chip silicon, attackers force the secure element to skip firmware signature verification logic, thereby bypassing the boot PIN protection.
3. The core of defense lies in physical control: The underlying design assumption of hardware wallets is always to "prevent remote hacker attacks." If the device falls into the hands of professional physical attackers, the risk of theft is extremely high.
Protecting assets relies not only on cryptographic algorithms but also on real physical isolation. Never disclose the actual physical location of your cold wallet to anyone. $ETH $SOL

The trend of SNDK is almost exactly as I predicted in my post yesterday.
Yesterday's analysis forecasted that the target would rise before the market opened, continue to surge in the early night session, but then fall back in the late night. The current price has reached 1772.
Fortunately, the market closed on Friday, otherwise, given this momentum, it would most likely continue to decline. The price has already broken below the key 1800 level, and it will most likely enter a consolidation phase next.
This round of major positive news has already been fully digested by the market. In fact, the market itself is not very optimistic about it; it was just driven by the previous big trend. Now that the positive news has landed, it is more likely to turn into negative sentiment, and short selling might present a trading opportunity.
An interesting point: when looking at market analysis alone, mistakes are rare, but once I actually open positions myself, it becomes difficult to profit.

A BTC short thesis around $71,988 was invalidated after price pushed above $84K, highlighting how quickly market structure can change.
The original thesis relied on a double-top setup and negative funding, but a strong bullish move invalidated the idea.
📊 The real lesson: a stop-loss is a predefined trading cost, not a personal failure. When emotions rise, protecting capital and stepping away can matter.
#BTC #OKB #DailyOrbit$BTC Short position holding feelings after two days
After Bitcoin dropped below 83,000, market sentiment turned very pessimistic, and I was no exception. Some even expect a pullback to 72,000. I originally planned to short after a rebound at 85,000 and posted about it, but I was still too eager and entered at 84,000, which was indeed not an ideal entry point.
Yesterday I held the position; in the evening, it rebounded to 85,250, and Ethereum even surged to 2,745. At that moment, my heart really felt like it was bleeding. Fortunately, the price soon crashed, hitting a low of 83,100.
My hand was on the close position button, and after thinking for a long time, I decided to hold on. For this round of pullback, my target is at least around 80,000, and looking further, 76,000.
What do you guys think? Check my pinned posts. This is just a record of my personal trades and does not constitute investment advice. Market Observation 📊
Today, the most noteworthy aspect of the small-cap market is not a collective rally, but the sudden widening of strength differentiation among assets: SUI surged nearly 20% in a single day, LINK directly challenged $14, and XRP is still slowly recovering around 1.57. Some have entered an accelerated sentiment phase, some are steadily trending, and others have not yet broken past previous resistance.
#HighBetaAcceleratesAgain
#CapitalStartsChasingStrength
SUI is currently around 1.18, with an intraday low of 1.10 and a high of 1.217, up nearly 19% in 24 hours. The 1.10–1.12 range is the first support zone on pullback; the 1.20–1.22 range above is short-term resistance. Only by holding above this range can it aim for 1.25. After several consecutive days of strengthening from near $1, it is no longer suitable to blindly chase the highs at this stage.
LINK is currently around 14.0, with an intraday high of 14.125. The 13.65–13.8 range is the first support zone, with resistance at 14.1 above.
Market funds are selectively clustering; in a market with strength differentiation, avoid blindly following the rally.

#BTC现货ETF连续6日吸金超28亿美元 #美债长端利率持续攀升，融资压力升温 #特朗普据悉拒绝7天方案，霍尔木兹重开再生变 Hello everyone, I am your uncle! I was truly taught a lesson by this market.
I was previously fantasizing that $ETH would continue to push past the previous high of 2807.67 on the back of positive news, but after the surge, it immediately started to pull back. The 4-hour MACD has already turned downward, and the bullish momentum has directly weakened.
Vitalik just made comments about node synchronization, but the market gave no positive feedback. The good news immediately became an excuse for capital to flee.
I had gradually built long positions around 2740, which are now slightly underwater. The floating loss is right here. I did not expect that in a stagnant market, a single industry news item would not be able to move the market.
The super trend resistance is stuck at 2787.84, and the price is pulling further away from this level. Currently, I am not blindly cutting losses on my long positions, nor am I adding to them to tough it out. I am just watching to see if the 2660 support can hold.
If the 2660 support is broken, then this rebound rally is basically over, and I will have to accept the loss and exit; if the support holds, there is still a chance to play for a second rebound.
This is how the market works. Don’t just dive in headfirst when you see news. Positive news does not necessarily mean a rise. There are countless cases where capital uses news as an opportunity to run. Don’t be fooled by surface-level news.
This is just market observation and does not constitute investment advice.

#VitalikDiscussesEthereumNodeSyncStatus
#PositiveNewsDidNotLeadToSustainedRallyLet's talk about $SOL.
Yesterday it pulled up from around 117 to 122, and today it's still oscillating above 120, without giving back that bullish candle.
$BTC has been hovering around $84,000 during the same period, so SOL has definitely been stealing the spotlight recently.
I'm paying close attention to $120. A few days ago, SOL touched around 119 several times but retreated; yesterday it closed near 122, indicating that buyers have pushed forward this time. The US SOL spot ETF also saw about $80 million in net inflows on Friday, showing continued market interest.
In the short term, I'm optimistic. First, let's see if it can break yesterday's high near $123; if it does, $125 is worth looking forward to. If it falls back below $118, the momentum might need to pause, with some waiting around $115.
My feeling about SOL these past two days is that it doesn't really want to keep grinding alongside BTC. If it really takes out $123 next, there will probably be another wave of people regretting not buying more.Everyone says that without $BTC, a rate cut would cause a crash, but funds are instead flowing into ETFs.
OKX current price is $83,800, 10Y US Treasury yield at 5.17%, spot ETFs have had net inflows for 6 consecutive days totaling $365.7 million, with ARKB attracting $113.8 million in a single day.
The $40 trillion US debt ceiling has reached another lifeline window, fiscal depreciation entering the second phase, institutions are using ETFs as a safe haven rather than exiting. The price not breaking below 82,000 indicates there is support, but the 5.17% risk-free yield still suppresses risk appetite.
Risk is neutral to slightly bullish, holding 82,000 to push to 86,000, reduce positions if it breaks 79,000; position size capped at 30%. Bond yields are high but ETFs provide a floor, BTC buyers are essentially taking positions others are handing off to you. Hyperliquid's aid fund has delivered a rather impressive ledger.
Here are the numbers: a cumulative buyback and burn of over 47.5 million HYPE tokens, with an input cost of about $1.321 billion. At the current price, the market value of these burned tokens is approximately $4.366 billion.
In other words, there is roughly a 3.3x unrealized gain on the books — the chips bought with the money are now worth more than three times.
The key point is the mechanism itself: burning means these tokens are permanently removed from circulation, continuously reducing supply. The buyback funds come from protocol revenue, effectively converting the value generated by trading volume directly into implicit dividends for token holders.
The cleverness of this design lies in linking "platform profitability" and "token appreciation" into one line, without relying on issuance or subsidies to maintain momentum.
But it’s important to be clear: the strength of buybacks is closely related to trading volume. Once the market cools down, the speed of this flywheel will decrease accordingly. It is strong now, but the premise of that strength is that people keep trading. What is truly intriguing right now is not why $BTC has yet to break upwards, but why it remains stable despite the surge in US Treasury yields and the global repricing of interest rate expectations. The 10-year US Treasury yield once touched 5.23%, yet the US spot ETF has recorded a net inflow of about $2.8 billion over nearly six trading days. This divergence indicates that some funds have not retreated due to the bond market turmoil; instead, they are accumulating during the volatility.
The key over the weekend is not whether the candlestick can form a strong bullish bar, but whether crude oil continues its weakness and whether the 10-year yield can confirm 5.23% as a short-term peak. Once the bond side loosens, the continued buying in ETFs could become a springboard, turning the 84K resistance into a starting point to test 87K or even higher levels.🔥Disrupting perceptions! BlackRock strategies directly encapsulated on-chain, RWA evolving into the era of asset management strategies on-chain! $ONDO
My view is clear: this time Ondo, in partnership with BlackRock, launches tokenized portfolios, marking that RWA has moved beyond the single-asset on-chain stage and is officially advancing towards full asset management strategies on-chain, with long-term potential to generate sustained on-chain capital demand.
Previously, most RWAs were just individual assets like bonds or stocks tokenized on-chain.
But this new product directly packages a basket of assets and a complete allocation strategy into a single token.
It comes with automatic rebalancing functionality and can circulate on-chain, combining with DeFi Lego-style compositions.
Targeted at qualified investors outside the U.S., backed by BlackRock’s tailor-made investment solutions.
Simply put, before it was about moving “things” on-chain; now it’s about moving “professional wealth management solutions” on-chain.
Mature allocation strategies from professional institutions are no longer confined to traditional brokerage channels.
Ordinary on-chain users can access institutional-level asset portfolios with one click, saving the hassle of rebalancing themselves.
But we must also be objective: the product is newly launched and still in its early stages.
Forming large-scale, stable capital inflows will require time for gradual validation.
Trading insight: The core narrative of RWA is not simple token hype, but transplanting traditional financial expertise onto the blockchain. When asset management strategies can be tokenized, the financial landscape of the on-chain world expands significantly.
#Ondo推出基于贝莱德策略的代币化投资组合 84000 has been consolidating for two days, and the market makers are playing dead again over the weekend.
Right now BTC is stuck at 84000, neither up nor down. When it tries to reach 84200, it gets sold off; when it dips to 83800, buyers step in.
Liquidity is thin over the weekend, and the market makers are too lazy to act, so they’re just dangling both longs and shorts.
Here’s my 4-hour view:
• 84200 above is a minor resistance. If the 4-hour close can’t break above it or the rebound fails, take a small short position targeting 83500, and exit half when reached.
• If it truly breaks below 83500, the next support level is the round number 83000.
• If the 4-hour close directly breaks above 85000, it means this consolidation is over and the price will move up. Close short positions and don’t hold on.
• Set stop loss just above the previous high; ignore spikes, only trust the close.
Don’t take heavy positions over the weekend; chasing longs or shorts at this level is just giving money to the market makers.
Wait for them to pick a direction and for the 4-hour candle to confirm before acting.
What do you think? Will it break 84200 first and go up, or break 83500 first and go down over the weekend? 【Closing Review #4｜09-26】Today the system pushed 5 buy signals. The ledger shows 4 signal positions with none moved — but I manually added one, now totaling 5 positions. All 5 are within the holding range; none hit the action point today. I won’t list the targets and signal prices — this report only reflects the ledger’s perspective, intentionally. (Out of the 5, 4 are system signals, 1 is manually opened.) Scanned 200 stocks, 15 passed the gate, temperature is spring, width 1.86. The cost of not moving is: if they keep rising, nothing will happen on my side. I accept this cost — whether it’s enough is more important than whether they rise or not. (Parameters and weights are not disclosed, this is not investment advice.)Currently, BTC is around $84,000, and after surging to about $87,300 on September 21, it has been retreating/sideways at a high level for several consecutive days. Historical data also shows that the lowest point on September 23 was about $83,500, and the lowest on September 24 was about $82,900, then it returned to around $84K.
How I see this pullback now
It cannot yet be defined as a trend reversal.
It looks more like:
87K surge → profit-taking → seeking support in the $82.8K–$84K range.
And there is a relatively important positive factor: the US spot BTC ETF still maintained strong net inflows this week until September 25, with about $191 million on September 24 alone; meanwhile, data shows that large holding addresses are still increasing their BTC.
On the other hand, the macro environment is indeed not easy now:
* The US 10-year Treasury yield remains above 5%;
* Market concerns about further rate hikes are increasing;
* High real interest rates are putting pressure on BTC valuation;
* The drop on September 23 was accompanied by about $280 million long liquidations.
So the most important levels now are these:
84,000: current battleground
If this level can hold steadily, it indicates that after 87K, it is a high-level consolidation.
82,800–83,500: key support
This is the level I am most focused on now.
If BTC quickly recovers to 84K after returning near 83K, the structure remains relatively strong. The external CORE community is clashing again: on one side are the BTC purist veterans, and on the other are the DeFi players, with two groups directly confronting each other's views.
This division on Twitter hasn't been just for a day or two; two completely opposite logics have been wrestling continuously. The DeFi crowd is optimistic about CORE, reasoning that it allows idle BTC to be staked for yield, turning Bitcoin into a financial asset capable of building like Lego, thus opening up incremental space for BTCFi.
But the Bitcoin purists absolutely reject this. They firmly hold to one creed: Bitcoin is digital gold, a store of value, and should not be transformed into a programmable DeFi platform. CORE's Satoshi Plus consensus, which mixes BTC hashrate with PoS staking, in their eyes, has long deviated from Bitcoin's original decentralized intent. Moreover, staking could bury the risk of governance monopoly by whales.
This verbal battle directly impacts the capital flow: supporters lock their funds in staking for the long term, while skeptics sell off at highs. Every time the coin price experiences a surge or crash, both sides escalate the argument. Simply put, the project is not just competing on technology and products, but is fighting for consensus within the Bitcoin community. Once consensus fractures, intense market volatility is inevitable
$BTC $ETH 🔥Breaking news! Stocks can now be directly collateralized on-chain for loans, as traditional finance is rushing into the crypto space!
My view is clear: Tokenizing US stocks has evolved from simple trading to collateralized lending, marking a solid leap in the RWA (Real World Assets) sector. Traditional stocks are gradually becoming new financial assets on-chain, which can foster sustained lending liquidity demand in the long term.
The launch of this feature on Aave V4 is more than just adding a new use case.
Overseas users can now collateralize tokenized shares of leading tech stocks like Apple, Nvidia, and Tesla to borrow USDC stablecoins.
Previously, tokenized US stocks mostly remained at the level of on-chain trading.
Integrating lending on Aave effectively unlocks new capital efficiency for these traditional assets.
The SEC has even granted a temporary innovation exemption, providing regulatory buffer space, while industry infrastructure is being built accordingly.
Holders of quality US stocks can activate their assets on-chain and obtain liquidity without selling their shares.
The continuous demand for collateral naturally brings new capital and lending volume to DeFi.
However, it’s important to be rational: the initial collateral cap is only $29 million, which is still small and in an early pilot phase.
It’s unlikely to trigger a major market boom in the short term but lays the groundwork for long-term potential in this sector.
Trading insight: RWA is not just hype. When real-world assets can be collateralized and circulated on-chain, the boundary between traditional finance and blockchain is gradually being bridged.
#Aave支持代币化美股抵押借USDC Bill Gates said on NBC that AI is powerful enough to cause the death of a billion people. The weight of this statement should be considered in the context of his track record.
In 2015, he warned in a TED talk that the future killer of millions would not be missiles, but viruses. At the time, many thought he was alarmist, but it later proved he was right.
So this warning should not be simply dismissed as "a celebrity pessimistic about technology." What’s more noteworthy is another signal mentioned by Lark Davis — the people who are actually building AI now are gradually resigning, and the reasons they give are similar to Gates'.
This is somewhat reminiscent of the crypto scene back then: those who understand the technology best often see the risks first, while the market only cares about whether it can make money.
I don’t think this means AI should be stopped, but the phenomenon that "those who know it best are the most worried" deserves serious attention. Being optimistic about technology is fine, but treating risk warnings as noise has never ended well in history.如果这两天你也在盯着盘面发呆，那我们先对个暗号：ETH 在 2700 到 2650 之间来回磨，昨天冲到 2740 又滑回 2670 附近，BTC 也从 8w7 的高点慢慢走软，高点结构被破掉之后，短线重心明显往下压。 这种高位横着不动的感觉，是不是比直接跌还让人心里发毛？ 我自己的观察是，市场现在不是在交易"还会不会涨"，而是在交易"谁先扛不住"。美联储重启加息的讨论又冒出来，但 BTC 却没有出现那种恐慌式跳水，说明有一部分筹码是打算拿长线的，可同时，短线资金明显不愿意在 8w7 上方继续追。ETH 更诚实一点，几次想站回 2740 都被按回来，山寨跟着它的节奏也变得黏糊糊的。 这里有个容易被忽略的细节：高位横盘不代表安全，它只是把风险从"价格下跌"换成了"时间消耗"。如果 BTC 接下来不能快速收回 8w7 附近，那么偏多的路径就需要靠 ETH 先稳住 2650 这个台阶，再慢慢把山寨的情绪带回来。反过来，一旦 2650 失守，ETH 可能会去试探更低的位置，BTC 的卖压也会跟着变重，那些这几天还在翻倍的 200u 小仓位，回撤速度会比上涨时更快。 偏多的逻辑也有：只要 BTCGrayscale submits application for ZEC high-yield ETF! Dividend paid from option premiums, with a yield structure hiding significant trade-offs
According to Jinse Finance, on September 26, BeInCrypto reported that Grayscale submitted an application for the "ZCSH High Income ETF" to the U.S. SEC on September 25. The plan is to pay dividends to holders every two weeks, with dividend funds sourced from premiums collected by selling options, rather than directly holding ZEC spot to earn income. If the application is approved smoothly, the product is expected to take effect 75 days later, in early December.
This ETF has a special design: the fund itself does not directly hold ZEC, but trades options linked to Grayscale's existing spot product ZCSH. By buying call options and selling put options, it replicates the price movement of ZCSH; meanwhile, it continuously sells short-term call options within one month to collect premiums as the source of dividends. According to the filing, at least 80% of the fund's net assets must be invested in option products related to Zcash ETPs.
The filing emphasizes: the product name includes "High Income," but this does not represent a commitment to a fixed dividend rate. Some of the cash distributed is essentially just a return of investors' own principal, not investment profit.
#ZEC现货ETF首日成交额1480万美元 $BTC
It stayed sideways over the weekend with low volume, just waiting for the US stock market on Monday to give a direction.
After a surge to 87,400 followed by a pullback, the price has been locked between 83,000 and 85,000. RSI returned to 50, KDJ is neutral in the middle, and MACD bearish bars are shortening, indicating that the buying momentum is fading and active selling is also limited.
This is neither a buildup for a breakout nor a trend reversal to bearish, but rather a wait-and-see for new pricing signals from both bulls and bears.
ETF net inflows have continued for seven consecutive days, proving institutions are still accumulating; however, the single-day inflow has dropped to about $134 million, which can only support the price but cannot push it to break through for now.
The next two days will likely continue to fluctuate, with the real directional choice coming after the US stock market opens on Monday: if it holds above 85,000 with volume, first target 86,000, then test 87,400; if it breaks below 83,000, then retest 81,500 to 82,000.
My judgment: short-term slightly bullish, but without breaking 86,000, all upward moves are just range rebounds. On Monday, focus on the Nasdaq and US Treasury yields; whichever breaks the balance first, BTC will follow that direction. The US CFTC has set its sights on a new thing: "mention markets" — betting on whether a person will say a certain word, such as whether an executive mentions a specific phrase during an earnings call.
The regulator's stance is clear: these types of contracts inherently carry extremely high manipulation risks. The reason is straightforward — the outcome heavily depends on the words and actions of a single individual, and the information is controlled by a few, making it nearly impossible for retail investors to participate fairly.
An example makes it clear: an employee who fully knows whether the boss's speech draft contains that word can bet on the market in advance. This is not predictive ability; it is information privilege.
Therefore, the CFTC requires exchanges to undergo stricter reviews before listing such contracts.
The significance of this goes beyond a single product — it draws a line: where the boundaries of prediction markets lie. Betting on the weather or election results involves dispersed participants; but betting on a specific person's specific behavior has manipulation costs so low it's absurd.
Not everything that can be priced should be made into a contract. The underlying tone of the rebound is a squeeze, not a reversal
From 72K to 87K in four days, a 13% increase is loud, but don't rush to change your belief. The ceasefire is just a two-way pause; oil prices remain near 100, US Treasury yields, though retreating, are still high, and geopolitical risks are only temporarily muted. BTC broke through the 84K-85K chip zone, liquidating over 1 billion, including 840 million short positions — this looks more like a short squeeze rather than a fundamental reversal. Some bluntly say it might be a "macro liquidity trade disguised in crypto clothing."
$BTC 84298, RSI6 91, hot to the touch. 85500 is the cap, 82800 is the net; if 84000 is lost, the pattern theory must be downgraded. $ETH 2670, RSI6 83.88, resistance at 2710, support at 2620; ETH/BTC stuck at 0.031, 0.040 is the rotation threshold. $ZEC 1521, RSI6 88, surged to 1582 then pulled back, long positions shrank from 486 million U to 384 million U, profit ratio dropped from 93% to 66%, smart money exited first. Resistance at 1626, support at 1455.
BTC dominance at 60.66%, altcoin season at 37, funds have not spilled over. The three coins’ RSI all exceed 83, little balance left to repair. Lacking incremental volume and catalysts, it’s like soda left out overnight. If BTC fails to reclaim 85500, rotation is just a PPT. Don’t mistake a pulse for a trend. The next pullback will punish the impatient.
#BTC现货ETF连续6日吸金超28亿美元 #美债长端利率持续攀升，融资压力升温 The SOL spot ETF attracted $86.67 million in a single day yesterday, setting a new all-time high.
On the SoSoValue chart, a single green bar reached $86.67 million, with the total product size now at $1.96 billion.
Bitwise's BSOL attracted about $55.73 million that day, and Grayscale's GSOL followed suit.
The current price is around 122, and the capital flow is even more striking than the candlestick chart.
What I see is institutions actively seeking beta, not retail investors chasing sentiment.
This is different from the BTC ETF's continuous inflows — SOL's single-day record is off the charts.
But one record doesn't lock in a trend, so don't get dazzled by the green bar.
What to do: In the short term, watch if the inflow can maintain tens of millions over the next two days and whether it can hold around 121; if inflows halve or it falls below 118, this narrative fails for now.
Do you believe institutions will continue buying SOL, or do you think this is just a one-day wonder?

Saylor wrote a long post, wanting banks to use Bitcoin as collateral for lending.
What others think: This is great news, banks entering the market, $BTC is going to soar.
What I think: Short-term traders looking at this are just adding drama for themselves.
Key rule: Basel assigns a 1250% risk weight to crypto exposures.
If banks truly custody, how much capital must they hold?
This proposal is written for regulators, not for the market.
It will take years from the news landing to rule changes.
Right now, I’m only watching one thing: whether this week’s volume can keep up.
If it can’t, this good news is just an excuse for bulls to sell off.

#美债长端利率持续攀升，融资压力升温 #Strategy提议为优先股发放每日股息 $BTC The altcoin market dominance has finally broken through a nearly two-year downtrend. Could this be the start of the altcoin season?
First, why is this indicator important? When Bitcoin's market dominance rises, it means funds are concentrating in the most stable asset, and the market is in a defensive mode; when altcoin dominance rises, it indicates that funds are willing to take on more risk and spread outward.
Shifting from defense to offense is indeed a typical characteristic of the mid-to-late stages of a bull market—Bitcoin rises first, profits are made, and then capital spills over to seek assets with greater volatility.
But there is still one step between "breaking the trendline" and "the altcoin season really arriving": funds must actually continue to flow in, not just a false breakout.
In the past two years, this kind of breakout has fooled many times, rising for two days and then being pushed back down.
So, it can be regarded as a signal worth watching, but don’t go all-in on altcoins just because a trendline was broken—wait for confirmation of capital inflow first.LINK recently partnered with Swift, and the tests have been successful.
In the future, banks might use LINK as an intermediary layer for cross-border transfers. Behind Swift are tens of thousands of banks worldwide, so the potential is quite large.
But note that it is still in the testing phase, the actual implementation time is not set, and traditional finance moves slowly, so don't expect short-term results.
Funding: In the past week, some big players have been quietly buying.
$LINK $ZEC $ONE The key thing I’m watching is the relationship between price and OI. Both are moving lower, which suggests leverage is being unwound rather than traders aggressively opening new positions. That could mean the first major liquidation wave is already in progress. Now the key level is clear: 🎯 $84K — can BTC defend it? If it holds, the market may stabilize. If it breaks, another round of flushing could follow. What’s your read — $84K holds, or do we see another flush first? $BTC #BTCBTC: U.S. Treasury yields approach 5.2%, macro pressure outweighs institutional inflows
$BTC: Consolidating around 84,000, ETF net inflows have continued for seven consecutive days, but single-day inflows have dropped from nearly 1 billion to less than 200 million, weakening in strength. U.S. Treasury yields near 5.2%, rate hike expectations rise, macro pressure outweighs institutional absorption. Selling pressure above 84,000 is heavy, short-term lacks breakout momentum.
$ETH: Just broke above the annual moving average downtrend line but was twice resisted near 2,800. Fidelity submitted an amendment proposing to add staking functionality to the ETH ETF, with up to 100% of holdings staked. If approved, it will reduce circulating supply, but the approval process is lengthy, so the short term remains technically driven.
$SOL: Monthly increase of 26%, on-chain RWA value hits a record $4.6 billion, 30-day increase over 11%, number of holders doubled. Alpenglow upgrade aims to reduce final confirmation from 12.8 seconds to 150 milliseconds, mainnet launch on September 28. However, resistance above 120 is clear, caution advised when chasing highs.
Macro is the biggest variable; BTC consolidates awaiting direction, ETH staking ETFs launch, SOL supported by RWA and upgrades for independent momentum. Before direction emerges, keep positions light. ARB 0.219, should you buy the dip at this level?
#BTC现货ETF连续6日吸金超28亿美元 #美债长端利率持续攀升，融资压力升温
On Saturday night, ARB is currently priced at 0.219, having recovered quite a bit from its historical low of 0.07, but still far from the previous high of 2.4. Whether to buy the dip requires careful consideration.
$BTC 84161 is holding steady around 84000, acting as the anchor for the entire market. As long as it doesn't break below 84000, oversold coins like ARB have an environment conducive to recovery; $ARB at 0.219 has decent L2 ecosystem data, but token unlocking continues to exert pressure. This rebound from 0.07 to 0.22, doubling in price, is no longer a floor price. The distinction is clear: ARB is experiencing an oversold rebound, not a trend reversal. The move from 0.07 to 0.22 is a recovery phase; further gains depend on unlocking digestion and ecosystem capital inflow.
If BTC holds 84000 and the market continues to rally, ARB could rise to 0.25, but unlocking pressure will slow the bounce, so small positions for speculation are advisable. If BTC breaks below 84000, ARB may retest 0.20, and if that breaks, look for 0.15. Do not chase at 0.22. For buying the dip, use small positions in batches with stop-loss set below 0.20. Do not mistake an oversold rebound for a reversal and overcommit.BTC ETFs once saw a net outflow of $5.8 billion this year, but now they've surprisingly been pulled back to a net inflow of around $800 million.
This change is more interesting than just looking at the inflow on a single day.
At its worst in July this year, the cumulative net outflow of US spot BTC ETFs reached $5.8 billion.
But recently, funds have been continuously returning.
In the past 6 trading days, about $2.84 billion has flowed back in.
As a result, now:
the cumulative data for the year has flipped from negative $5.8 billion to about positive $800 million.
In other words, money that was being withdrawn a few months ago is now starting to come back.
I'm increasingly feeling that:
You can't just focus on "how many hundreds of millions flowed in today" when looking at ETFs.
What really matters is whether the direction has changed continuously.
One day can be emotional.
Several consecutive weeks are more like a trend.
#BTC #Bitcoin #ETF #CryptoCommunity🚦 Market Breadth Observation｜BTC + ETH + ZEC
🟠 BTC ≈ $84.1K
🔵 ETH ≈ $2.69K
🟢 ZEC ≈ $1.5K
BTC determines the main market direction, ETH reflects capital rotation, while ZEC acts more like a thermometer for high-risk appetite.
➤ BTC, ETH, and ZEC rising together = 🚀 Market breadth expansion, healthier momentum
➤ Only BTC rising, ETH/ZEC lagging = ⚠️ Weak breadth, the trend may lack sustainability
➤ ETH starts outperforming BTC = 🔄 Capital may be rotating from large caps to mainstream altcoins
➤ ZEC strengthening with volume = 🔥 Risk appetite of high-volatility funds is heating up
📊 Price tells us where the market is headed, market breadth tells us how much capital is participating in this rally.
Currently, key focus is on BTC support at $84K and resistance at $87K–$89K; whether ETH can reclaim $2.7K, and if ZEC continues to maintain strength will determine the extent of this rebound's diffusion.
#BTC #ETH #ZEC #CryptoMarket #MarketBreadth #Fed #TreasuryYields#Trump reportedly rejects 7-day plan, Hormuz reopening faces new changes
Trump has changed his mind again; how will oil prices and the crypto market move tonight?
Just released news: Trump rejected Iran's 7-day ceasefire proposal and told those around him that he might continue bombing after the midterm elections. The community is now in an uproar; some say this is the old tactic of maximum pressure, while others fear that if something really happens in the Strait of Hormuz, oil prices will surge back up directly.
Let's look at oil first. Brent is currently around 97.6, with a low of 96.3 last night, having dropped quite a bit this week. Once the news came out, the after-hours market jumped briefly but couldn't hold. My view: don't chase the highs. If the 98-100 range can't be broken, it will most likely pull back. Iran's Revolutionary Guard is also not backing down, and negotiations are still dragging on; the market has already priced in some of this news.
Now looking at BTC and ETH. BTC is currently around 84,000, failing to hold last week's high of 87,300. ETFs are still flowing in, supporting $2.39 billion over the week. But the daily RSI is 71, indicating it's overheated. ETH is at 2,687, with a strong resistance at 2,800 above. The geopolitical situation's impact on crypto is indirect—if oil prices really surge, US Treasury yields will follow, putting pressure on all risk assets.
Direction: short-term looks weak and volatile. There will be emotional fluctuations as the news just broke, but the crypto market is now more focused on macro liquidity rather than geopolitics. BTC has short-term support at 83,500; if broken, look to 82,000; ETH needs to hold 2,635 to be considered stable. Currently, ETH is fluctuating around $2680, and my short position average price is $2727. This pullback has already proven that the directional judgment was correct. First, looking at the market: ETH clearly faced resistance after surging above 2700, and it has never been able to effectively hold above the 2750 level, with repeated attempts to push higher being suppressed by selling pressure. In the short term, the 2700–2750 range has become a key pressure zone contested by bulls and bears. Next, looking at the capital side, the market is not as unanimously bullish as imagined. Although ETH recently surged above $2740, the latest data shows that the US spot ETH ETF has still seen strong capital inflows over the past few trading days, totaling about $747 million over 5 days, indicating that institutional funds have not fully withdrawn. Meanwhile, the ETH staking yield is currently about 2.62%, significantly lower than the US 10-year Treasury yield, and this yield gap puts some pressure on ETH's institutional allocation logic. So what really deserves attention here is not "institutions all running away," but: Can the capital inflow keep up as the price continues to rise? Now looking at BTC. A few days ago, BTC once broke through $87,000, during which there was a large-scale short squeeze, with daily crypto market short liquidations reaching about $648 million; meanwhile, the open interest in derivatives contracts once rose to about $156 billion, indicating that leverage remains very high. However, the market has now seen a very interesting change: BTC ETFs have not stoppedBitcoin at 84,000, Ethereum at 2,600, Solana at 121. Another day of sideways movement, with these three coins barely moving. Some might find it boring, but I'm increasingly convinced: this quiet is a buildup. Look at the structure, Bitcoin has been oscillating between 83,000 and 85,000 for almost a week now. The fact it can't drop means there are buyers below; the fact it can't rise means it's just waiting for a catalyst. The longer the sideways consolidation, the more energy accumulates, and once the direction is chosen, the market often moves fiercely. At this stage, the most important thing is not to stare at the charts guessing the direction, but to review your plan again: what to do if it rises, what to do if it falls, are your orders placed properly, do you have enough bullets left. My three-tier buy orders remain in place at 82,500, 80,000, and 78,000, not moving a bit. If the market offers a price, I take it; if not, I watch. In trading, in the end, it's not about who predicts better, but who endures longer. Those who can stick to discipline and stay calm during silent sideways movement are the ones qualified to wait for the day the market kicks off. Tonight, keep doing what you should, the market watches for you, the plan executes for you. The reason is simple: the directional logic hasn't changed. This ETH short position was opened near 2640, currently showing an unrealized loss close to 800U. However, previous partial profit-taking has already secured 544U, so the net drawdown after calculation is just over 200U. Of course, the profits made earlier can only buffer the drawdown and cannot be considered a "get-out-of-jail-free card" for the current position. Therefore, my stop loss remains clearly set at 2800; if this level is effectively broken, the strategy must be reassessed. Currently, ETH is oscillating around 2690, with short-term moving averages on the 1-hour chart gradually converging. The previous one-sided downward momentum has clearly weakened, and the short-term market has entered a phase of renewed competition between bulls and bears. The focus now is on two key levels: 🔻 2680: the first critical short-term support; if broken, continue to watch the 2650–2640 area 🔺 2800: the risk boundary for the short position; as long as it is not truly broken, I will patiently observe according to the original plan. Meanwhile, BTC's funding situation is actually not weak. The US spot BTC ETF has seen net inflows for 6 consecutive trading days, totaling over $2.8 billion, but the latest daily inflow has dropped to about $191 million, significantly cooling compared to the highest single-day inflow of about $999 million in this round. This means institutional funds are still buying, but short-term momentum for chasing gains is weakening. The macro side is also worth monitoring. Long-term US Treasury yields remain high; on September 24, the US 30-year Treasury yield briefly rose to 5.48%, and the 10-year yield reached about OKB shares some private thoughts: the enthusiastic wave at 126.5 over the weekend was completely missed.
Yesterday opened at 119.8, peaked at 121.2, bottomed at 118.9, closed at 119.9, with a volume of 11.85 million. Today opened at 119.9, peaked at 122.1, bottomed at 119.9, current price around 121.0. Volume is 6.88 million, halved over the weekend.
Resistance remains at 121.0–122.1 above, with heavier pressure at 126.5. On the downside, watch 119.9 first; if broken, 118.9 is likely.
Don't chase 122.1 in the short term. For those already holding, watch if 119.9 support holds; if not, reduce a bit. The volume contraction over the weekend can be seen as digestion; wait for volume to return Monday to see if it can hold above 121 again. $OKB ZEC's volume this weekend was directly halved; after touching 1565, no one played anymore, and the high point at 1680 has now become just decoration.
Yesterday's low was 1501, the high was 1625, and it closed at 1546. Today it opened around 1545, with a high of 1565 and a low of 1515, current price about 1542. Volume dropped from 85.89 million to just over 24 million, a typical weekend low-volume sideways consolidation.
The resistance in the past two days is between 1565 and 1625; above that is 1680. If it breaks below 1515, it’s likely to test 1501 first; if that level can't hold, the short term may look for space down to 1457.
In the short term, watch if the current price around 1542 can hold. If it can't hold, consider it as still digesting the drop from 1680, and don't chase at this price. For those already holding, watch if the low at 1515 today can hold; if not, reduce some positions. For those looking to buy, wait for a pullback and consider only if it can't break through 1625; don't catch a falling knife in midair. $ZEC $100M is sitting in DeFi—and doing two jobs at once.
Galaxy placed $100M of sUSDS on its own balance sheet, then approved the same yield-bearing asset as collateral across a $1.4B institutional loan book. Clients can keep earning the Sky Savings Rate while borrowing against it.
$SKY is now $0.07897 on OKX, +6.22%/24h. Idle collateral is becoming an expensive habit.$SOL has new capital signals again!
Circle has just issued two consecutive USDC increases on Solana, each worth $250 million, totaling $500 million.
What does this mean?
Simply put, the dollar liquidity on the Solana chain has increased again. $BTC
USDC itself is not meant for speculation, but after entering the Solana ecosystem, it can be used for trading, DeFi, lending, and various on-chain capital turnovers.
So what the market really needs to watch is not how big the "$500 million" number is, but whether this batch of USDC will flow into exchanges, DeFi, and market makers. $ETH
If a large amount starts entering the market later, it means the available liquidity in the Solana ecosystem will further increase, which is a positive signal for SOL and the entire Solana ecosystem.
Of course, issuance does not mean the funds have directly bought SOL yet. Circle also has a mechanism for pre-minting USDC on Solana, so simply seeing "issuance" cannot be directly equated with new capital entering.
But one point worth noting:
Stablecoins are increasingly concentrating on Solana, and dollar liquidity is continuously being replenished.
So next, I will focus on two things:
Where USDC flows + whether SOL can follow with volume.
If funds really start entering trading and DeFi, this wave of SOL might not just simply follow the broader market.
Liquidity is coming; the worst thing is not that there is no market, but that you are not ready yet. 9/26 21:13 84000 Spent the whole day, three lines simultaneously stuck between MA5 and MA10, waiting for direction
$BTC 84,060 (+0.31%): The rate hike was priced in early, so it's not a negative surprise; the real pressure is on the long end — 10Y broke 5%, 30Y once hit 5.5%, Brent crude oil fluctuates near $100.
$HYPE 91.94 (+1.09%): 97% fee income buyback is real; but unlocks on 9/29 and 10/6, protocol revenue down year-on-year → buybacks are shrinking. 90 is the watershed, MA10 is temporarily holding.
$SNDK 1,776 (+0.44%): Driven by NAND price increases + AI long-term contracts, not earnings season (reported on 8/5). 1,800 is a dual threshold of MA5 and a round number, only above counts.
Commonality of the three lines: all pressed below MA5, standing above MA10 — short-term weak, mid-term not broken. Money flows within the range to places with income; breaking below 83,000 means fundamentals will cause a sharper drop.
Personal record, not investment advice.
#BTC现货ETF连续6日吸金超28亿美元
#美债长端利率持续攀升，融资压力升温
#特朗普据悉拒绝7天方案，霍尔木兹重开再生变 HYPE's spike to 92.88 today surged briefly, but no one dared to follow the wave at 94.80.
Yesterday's low was 90.39, high was 94.80, closing at 90.93. Today opened around 90.94, peaked at 92.88 without breaking through, dipped to 90.77, current price about 92.17. Volume ratio shrank significantly compared to yesterday, after the upward surge it’s still fluctuating.
Resistance remains between 92.88 and 94.80, with 98.04 above that. If it breaks below 90.77, it’s likely to test 90.39 first; if that support fails, short-term price may drop to 89.89 to find space.
Short-term focus is whether the current price around 92.17 can hold. If it can’t, treat it as still digesting the drop from 98.04, don’t chase at this price. For holders, watch if the low at 90.77 today can hold; if not, consider reducing positions. For those looking to buy, wait for a pullback and reconsider if it can’t break through 94.80, don’t catch a falling knife mid-air. $HYPE Does a bullish moving average alignment mean the trend is healthy?
Not necessarily. A truly healthy trend is when the price moves upward along the short-term moving average, pulls back without breaking the mid-term moving average, and momentum indicators show no divergence. Taking $BABY as an example: current price is 0.01413, MA5=0.014034 has crossed above MA20=0.0135835, indicating a bullish moving average structure; however, RSI has reached 71, entering the overbought zone, and the upper Bollinger Band at 0.0142484 is just overhead, indicating that the cost-effectiveness of chasing a short-term rally is declining. Meanwhile, the funding rate is +0.0050%, meaning longs must pay to hold positions, showing overheated sentiment; the Fear and Greed Index is 74, indicating the market is overall in a greedy state. Under this combination, the trend direction remains upward, but the rhythm is more likely to pull back first before advancing.
Operationally, maintain a bullish view but do not chase highs. Entry reference is 0.01380–0.01400, near MA5 and the pullback zone above the Bollinger middle band, because the bullish moving average alignment provides support, and the MACD histogram is still positive with momentum not weakening. Take profit 1 is at 0.01425, corresponding to resistance at the upper Bollinger Band; take profit 2 is at 0.01460, an extended target after breaking the upper band. Stop loss is set at 0.01345; if it falls below MA20, the bullish structure is broken and exit is necessary.
Also watch: $CRCLB, $AMP.SOL recently had a major upgrade, launching on the mainnet on September 28.
Simply put: the transfer confirmation speed was reduced from 13 seconds to 0.15 seconds, much faster.
But note: the official said this 0.15 seconds is based on simulation tests; the real mainnet hasn't been verified yet, so it might not be that fast in practice.
On the funding side: SOL's ETF recently saw an inflow of $26 million, with institutions buying.
The upgrade is truly positive news, but prices often "pull back after good news is priced in" $SOL $BTC $ETH $AKE family, let's talk about this new coin AKE.
When it just launched, the hype was intense, shooting straight above 0.16. Many people were envious, thinking they caught a new coin to ride a big wave.
But the hype was short-lived; after peaking, it kept falling, nearly halving in seven days. Many chased at the peak and are now stuck tight.
This is the biggest pitfall of new coins: the explosive power during the pump looks scary, but once the main funds withdraw, the drop has no bottom. A large chunk of trapped holders remain stuck above, and even a slight rise triggers many to rush out, making rebounds heavily resisted.
Many friends see the big drop and feel itchy, thinking it must have bottomed out after such a fall, rushing to catch the bottom. Honestly, new coins don’t have the “big drop means safe” rule; after falling, they can keep falling.
Never try to catch the bottom of such newly launched coins based on feeling; the uncertainty is too high. Even playing with small money requires caution, let alone betting heavily on a reversal.*Bitcoin Latest September 27 Early Morning Chinese*

Previously, BTC surged to $87.4K, then pulled back to the $83K area, and now has returned to around $84K. Structurally, this looks more like a high-level consolidation after a rise rather than a simple trend reversal. In the short term, what really needs to be observed is whether the $83K–$84K support zone can hold and whether it can challenge above $87K again. There are also some changes in the capital flow: 🇺🇸 The US spot BTC ETF has recently maintained continuous net inflows, but the single-day fund scale has clearly cooled down compared to previous peaks. Funds have not obviously withdrawn, but the chasing enthusiasm is weakening. This means the market is gradually shifting from "fast accumulation" to "waiting for confirmation." 📌 $ETH: The battle around $2.7K remains key $ETH is currently hovering around $2.72K, having pulled back after testing $2.8K earlier. In the short term, $2.70K is an important observation area; if it can stabilize again between $2.75K–$2.80K, the market may refocus on the $3K area. Conversely, if it fails to holdHashrate showdown! When “Core Fundamentalism” meets a hard fork, which one is the real Bitcoin? ⚠️ This article is only an on-chain ideological review and does not constitute any investment advice. The BTCFi sector has always had a highly confusing narrative: CORE is born relying on Bitcoin’s hashrate, inheriting Satoshi Nakamoto’s spirit, and is the “true evolutionary version of Bitcoin.” After the hard fork event on 8.31, this narrative faces its ultimate test. When CORE’s “BTC hashrate fundamentalism” clashes with the underlying beliefs of the native Bitcoin community, a debate about “who is the real Bitcoin” unfolds. First, clarify the concepts: here, CORE refers to the CORE public chain with Satoshi Plus hybrid consensus; Bitcoin Core is the Bitcoin mainnet client development team—these two are completely different. The so-called “Core Fundamentalism” is the belief held by some supporters in the CORE community: Bitcoin hashrate = Bitcoin security, as long as BTC hashrate is used for endorsement, it inherits Bitcoin’s spirit and is an extension of Bitcoin. 1. The core claim of Core Fundamentalism The underlying logic of this belief is simple: 1. Bitcoin’s strongest moat is its massive POW hashrate; 2. CORE’s Satoshi Plus consensus allows Bitcoin miners to delegate hashrate to guard this chain, effectively transplanting Bitcoin’s security capabilities; 3. The native Bitcoin mainnet lacks smart contracts and cannot do BTCFi; CORIn the last bull market, the four major Ethereum L2 champions, $ARB, after Robinhood Chain made the list, experienced a trend rally, and STRK, riding the anonymous privacy track, also rose significantly from the bottom.
Now only $OP and $ZK are still hovering in the bottom range.
OP seems to have a partnership with BASE. If BASE launches its chain later and adopts OP's technology like Robinhood Chain uses ARB technology, OP might also experience a trend rally.
ZK is a project even praised by Vitalik. If ETH transforms into a privacy public chain in the future, ZK, as a technical bridge, could directly benefit.
The four major L2 champions opened high and fell low in the last bull market, dropping close to zero, and most people were probably washed out.
I still hold the view:
The L2 track is still worth attention in this bull market; it depends on whether OP and ZK can find their new narratives going forward. $DASH
DASH taught me one thing: occasionally making money by shorting can easily create the illusion of "I understand it." Then you keep shorting and keep losing. If you can't beat it, join it.

$BTC: Oscillating near $84,000, with the 10-year US Treasury yield rising above 5.2% posing major pressure. However, BTC spot ETFs have reversed a previous $5.8 billion loss in net inflows this year, with institutional funds continuously providing support. Facing macro headwinds and institutional backing, treat the short term as range-bound, watching the $83,000 support level for effectiveness; avoid chasing highs
$ETH: $2,691, up 2.39% this week, with institutional funds continuously flowing in via ETFs. On-chain data shows exchange ETH holdings account for only 3.49%, indicating limited selling pressure. The ecosystem fundamentals are solid; if BTC stabilizes, ETH is likely to follow upward. Watch for support near $2,660
$SOL: Current price around $121, with the Alpenglow upgrade already running on the testnet, aiming to reduce final confirmation time from 12.8 seconds to 150 milliseconds. Nasdaq-listed Forward Industries plans to raise $25 million to increase SOL holdings.
