ETH as collateral relies not on its famous name
For an asset to serve as collateral long-term, there must be parties willing to take it over if problems arise. The significance of $ETH in on-chain finance comes not only from its reputation but also from trading depth, price sources, transferability, and whether protocols can execute liquidations amid volatility. The collateral market tests availability under stress.
A simple example: a borrower pledges ETH to gain liquidity, which does not eliminate price risk but converts it into collateral ratio risk. When ETH rises, the position appears comfortable; when prices drop rapidly, even if long-term outlook remains positive, liquidation may occur due to insufficient margin. Borrowing and holding coins should not be treated as the same directional investment.
Therefore, I judge collateral demand by considering both borrowing purposes and leverage structures. If mainly revolving loans and repeated position increases, demand growth may amplify vulnerability in the same direction; if more from sustainable business turnover, asset usage is richer. Both may increase locked positions but should not receive identical evaluations.
Long-term optimism on ETH does not require interpreting every locked position figure as positive. I value more whether the collateral ecosystem can withstand severe volatility and keep bad debts and liquidation losses within controllable limits. Truly strong collateral assets are not those everyone wants to borrow in a bull market but those that can still quote, trade, and orderly manage risks when the market is tight. Such credit must be built repeatedly.The market pulled back today, and many people's first reaction was:
"Is the rally over?"
But recently, I've been looking less and less at just the K-line.
What really catches my attention is another set of data.
Although the market is volatile in the short term, the US spot BTC ETF still recorded a net inflow of about $2.4 billion last week, marking the strongest single-week performance in nearly a year.
What does this indicate?
Prices are influenced by sentiment,
but capital often focuses more on the long term.
So when I look at hot topics recently, I always first check:
• Whether on-chain transactions have increased;
• Whether stablecoins continue to flow in;
• Whether ETF funds have changed;
• What large addresses have been doing recently.
I always review these data first on Ave.ai.
Many times, the news tells you what happened in the market.
But on-chain data tells you what the capital is doing.
When you encounter a pullback now, do you first look at the price or the capital?[Old Leek Observation] About the fifth of six coins worth watching after US stocks access DeFi
$CFG
Centrifuge focuses on the issuance, management, and DeFi connection of RWA. It is responsible for turning real-world assets into on-chain assets and connecting them to DeFi liquidity. So if RWA continues from "issuance" to "collateral, lending, and trading," CFG also belongs to the infrastructure layer. But what’s driving CFG’s recent rise is no longer just RWA.
Centrifuge is currently discussing CP172, which centers on redesigning the existing CFG system and company equity structure.
This proposal has sparked significant discussion because CFG was originally the governance token of the Centrifuge ecosystem, and now there is talk about how to rearrange the relationship between the token and company equity.
At the same time, the community has a proposal to restore some DAO governance rights. So CFG is no longer simply an "RWA coin." It is RWA + a token economic structure overhaul.
Entry: $0.145–$0.165
Take profit: $0.176 / $0.19 / $0.22 / $0.26

What’s truly noteworthy about CFG now is that while the RWA business continues, the way the token itself captures value is also being reconsidered. #USStocksAccessDeFiLendingSystemWow, today this gold is literally "skydiving"! It plummeted 136 points in one day, with green bars smashing continuously, barely catching a breath at 4140 at the end. The hearts of the chasers are bleeding, while the shorts are waking up laughing. $XAU When choosing long-term targets, do you value income, business model, or valuation the most?
Business model!
Income is just the current result, valuation is the price given by the market, only the business model determines whether the company can sustain profits, withstand cycles, and has a moat. A strong business model provides the foundation for sustained income growth, and valuation will be realized sooner or later; a fragile business model means even good short-term income is just a flash in the pan. #交易之声：你的经验值得被听到 $LTC Macro Logic:
The AI sector and the US Nasdaq (especially Nvidia) are strongly correlated. If US tech stocks fall tonight due to interest rate expectations, high-valuation coins like FET and TAO will drop even more sharply than Bitcoin. Conversely, if the data is positive, they will also be the leading rebounders.
💡 Trading Strategy:
This is the battlefield with the highest risk-reward ratio tonight.
● Watch Nasdaq futures: If the Nasdaq plunges, short FET/TAO on the rebound.
● Independent market: If Bitcoin falls but TAO resists the drop, it indicates independent capital is supporting the market. Such coins may become speculative leaders later, so you can cautiously try going long. Tokens involved: FET (ASI), TAO, RENDER (not shown in the chart but related), NEAR, SUI, SEI, ARB, OP "CORE at 48 yuan, a division magic trick"
Dividing DOGE's max supply by CORE's max supply, then multiplying by DOGE's market cap to derive CORE's "fair price"? The most dangerous part of this formula is swapping "total scarcity" for "market cap replicability."
$DOGE's 100 billion market cap isn't automatically brought by its 171.7 billion total supply, but is the result of years of bull and bear cycles, community culture, exchange liquidity, and speculative capital accumulation. $CORE's total supply is 2.1 billion, seemingly scarce, but the 81-year unlocking period means selling pressure is only extended, not eliminated. Staking doesn't burn tokens; it merely delays potential selling. Future unlocks are like a dammed lake hanging over the valuation.
More importantly is the ecosystem. $DOGE at least has a globally visible sentiment community; CORE's BTC-Fi staking focus still has few applications that ordinary users can truly use. Without continuous incremental capital and real demand, even a small circulating supply can't support a price derived from thin air.
Therefore, 48.25 yuan or 67.6 yuan is not a valuation but narrative packaging. It selectively highlights data favorable to bulls, hiding the unlocking curve, ecosystem shortcomings, and liquidity discounts under the table. Token price has never been a simple "total market cap ÷ total supply" elementary math problem, but a complex pricing involving adoption, capital flow, and market sentiment. No matter how clever the paper price, without real support, it is just a castle built on sand.

#本周迎非农与PCE关键数据 $XDP XDP is the token of Doppler Finance, a DeFi yield protocol on the XRP ledger. Simply put, it allows XRP holders to deposit funds and earn interest, following a CeDeFi + liquid staking model. The key point is its backing: the digital finance company under Japan's brokerage giant SBI is its strategic partner and was also a platinum sponsor of XRP Seoul 2026. Projects in the XRP ecosystem with such institutional resources are rare.
Tokenomics, remember three numbers: total supply 10 billion; genesis airdrop only 1% (fully unlocked at TGE); 43% is ecosystem incentives released gradually. In plain terms: **very little XDP is currently circulating on the market, with the remaining 99% locked up.** The advantage of this structure is low selling pressure; the downside is the market cap can be easily manipulated by capital inflows and outflows—the smaller the circulation, the more artificial the price.
Newly launched coins have no historical K-line, no support or resistance levels, so technical analysis is completely ineffective. Every price you see is driven by sentiment and market makers. On the first day, a 50% rise or fall has no basis—it's pure speculation.
If you really want to participate, remember three points: first, wait a few hours after launch for a real trading range to form; second, look at the circulating market cap, not the total 10 billion supply; third, the official contract address is only available through official channels—don't buy fake tokens.Hello everyone, I am your uncle! $ETH current price is 2664.64.
The news about Vitalik releasing a new open-source novel came out, but the market didn’t react at all. Despite the positive news, the market simply isn’t buying it. The 1-hour candlestick chart is very clear: after surging to 2723.75, it dropped all the way down, and only after the drop did a slight rebound appear.
This small rebound now can’t be considered a reversal; at best, it’s a technical correction after a big drop. The sharper the previous rise, the more decisive this pullback is. There’s heavy resistance above, with the 2690 level firmly suppressing the price.
It’s no longer the time to debate whether news can drive the market. Watching the charts every day is just guessing how far this rebound can go. The hype from the news no longer moves the market; the main funds have no intention to enter, and a little retail buying can’t stir up much.
No matter how loudly the bull market slogans are shouted, the candlesticks don’t lie. The rebound looks lively, but there’s a lot of trapped positions above, and even a slight upward move will face selling pressure. Whether the bulls can regain control depends on breaking through the hourly resistance level. If they can’t, after this rebound, it’s very likely to weaken again and test lower lows.
This is just market observation and does not constitute investment advice.

Long-term bullish on $UNI.
Core logic: The modular Hooks architecture of V4 is not just a simple AMM, but becomes an extensible on-chain trading infrastructure.
Two main narratives:
① RWA/asset tokenization, compliant permission pools connecting traditional assets on-chain;
② Fee switch implementation, protocol fee capture + burn, tokens gradually gaining value capture ability beyond pure governance.
Combined with multi-chain expansion and UniswapX aggregation, it is the leader in DeFi underlying infrastructure with a clear long-term narrative.
Short-term market may fluctuate, focus only on long-term fundamentals.
#UNI #Uniswap #DeFi #RWAGreen Mao's moves today are definitely worth breaking down.
In the early morning, he went all-in short on BTC and ETH with 100x leverage, but when the rebound surged, he had to stop loss and exit. He lost 236U on BTC and 138U on ETH; considering the 39U profit from the previous night, overall he still lost over 300U. Being able to immediately admit mistakes and cut positions under 100x leverage, without stubbornly holding on, this discipline is rarer than making money.
But he didn’t keep fighting the market; he turned to short ZEC, proactively lowering leverage to 50x. The rhythm was quite smooth: all-in short average price 1590, floating profit 1890U; isolated short average price 1616, floating profit 3877U. Total floating profit on ZEC is over 5700U, with a peak return rate of 119%, and the margin maintenance rate is also very healthy.
This move basically filled all the previous losses. The hardest part in trading is admitting mistakes and switching positions. Green Mao stops losses without dragging, switches positions decisively, adjusts position management accordingly, with mindset and execution both on point. Tonight he’ll probably have to add another session at the clubhouse.
$ETH $ZEC $BTC #本周迎非农与PCE关键数据 #财报观察员：美光财报临近，AI存储需求成焦点 #美伊继续磋商霍尔木兹开放条件 $2Z is bearish for the last 4 days: On October 2, there is a cliff unlocking of about 48% of the unlocked circulating supply, concentrating the pressure in this week. We backtested events where the unlocked amount ≥ 10% of circulation: 7 days before unlocking, it underperformed the market average by about 6%, with consistent direction in both sample periods before and after, about three-quarters of the events were negative. In the past 24 hours, long positions worth $120,000 were liquidated, far more than shorts, indicating that the bulls entering to catch the dip are being washed out batch by batch. Both open interest and volume are thin; with weak support, rebounds cannot hold. The chart shows higher highs and bullish moving averages, but the moving averages themselves lag, reflecting the old trend before the unlocking pressure is realized. The 48% new supply will overwhelm this technical structure. Conditions for a bullish reversal: regaining and holding above 0.06872 before unlocking. That would indicate funds are digesting this batch of chips in advance, invalidating the bearish view. Backtesting shows no stable direction after the unlocking day; once this week passes, this supply logic will end.After today's sharp decline, the gold price has reached an important lower boundary near the 4130-4150 range, which was also the starting point for the previous gold rally that surged up to 4400. In the short term, the gold price is beginning to show slight overselling, so there is an opportunity for the market to see a rebound here. Moving forward, the European and American sessions need to closely observe the effectiveness of the 4130-4150 support range. For now, it is possible to consider lightly going long in the 4130-4140 range, with a stop loss set below 4115. If the market unfortunately breaks below 4130 again, it indicates that the 4130-4150 support range has failed once more, and the gold price will likely continue to test the 4115-4100 level, possibly even breaking below 4100.
Once the gold price rebounds from the 4130-4150 support level, it does not mean the downtrend will immediately reverse. Attention must first remain on the primary resistance zone at 4190-4200, which was the starting point of today's second round of decline. Until the price can firmly hold above 4200, the weak market trend is unlikely to change significantly. However, if the market rebounds and encounters resistance near 4192-4200 and then starts to fall back, we can consider shorting again, with a stop loss above 4210 and looking for support again near 4150-4130.September 28 Midday Thought Tracking
Midday judgment: The early session gap break indicates bears dominate the market; blind bottom fishing is not recommended. Look to short on rebounds at 4230-4245, strong resistance to short at 4250-4255, with targets first at 4165, and if broken, then 4150.
Currently, gold prices have fallen back to the 4150 support zone. After reaching support, prices have stalled and oscillated repeatedly. The short-term decline is halted, but this does not mean a trend reversal.
Low-level oscillation is just a consolidation after bear pressure release; the large-scale bearish structure remains unchanged. Do not rush to enter for bottom fishing.
This week is a heavy data week with non-farm payrolls; market volatility will continue to increase.
Subsequent operations still prioritize shorting on rebounds; only if a clear stop-fall signal appears near 4150 should light positions be considered for short-term rebound speculation. All positions must have strict stop-losses to avoid heavy holding risks.$ETH

Ethereum shorts are aggressively increasing: Bitfinex short positions surged 130 times in two weeks
According to the latest data from Coinbureau, Ethereum shorts are rapidly accumulating chips on Bitfinex. In just 14 days, short positions jumped from about 771 ETH to over 101,000 ETH, an increase of nearly 13,000%, equivalent to more than 130 times.
This level of short position accumulation has reached an extreme state. The more one-sided the market sentiment, the more likely the market is to surprise — once the ETH price turns upward, these crowded shorts will face a collective stampede, forced to buy back to cover losses, triggering a strong short squeeze rally.
However, a reminder: extreme positions are always two-sided. A short squeeze occurring in a downtrend can also accelerate the decline. Until the direction is clear, be cautious and manage your positions well.
#本周迎非农与PCE关键数据 #财报观察员：美光财报临近，AI存储需求成焦点 #美伊继续磋商霍尔木兹开放条件 $BTC $ZEC ZEC suddenly started accelerating, so who exactly is buying this wave?
The recent trend of ZEC really has something going on.
Many people thought after such a big rise, it was about time for a pullback, but every time it dips, funds immediately come back to support it.
This is very interesting.
The strongest state for a coin is not making big bullish candles every day, but when you think it should fall, it just won’t go down.
Right now, I mainly watch three signals for ZEC:
First, whether the pullback is supported.
As long as every dip can be quickly recovered and the lows keep rising, the bullish structure is not obviously broken.
Second, whether it can break the previous high.
What really matters is not a wick breakout, but whether it can hold after a volume surge. If it breaks out, pulls back, and then rallies again, the nature of the market might be different.
Third, whether BTC can hold steady.
If BTC remains in consolidation while ZEC continues its independent trend, it indicates that funds might still be paying attention to privacy coins.
But here, I actually don’t want to chase the most frenzied candlestick.
ZEC is very volatile, and the most common pattern is: sudden sharp rally → the whole market starts shouting “take off” → chasing funds enter → then a deep shakeout happens immediately.
So what’s really worth waiting for now is the market’s answer.
If it breaks through and holds, I’ll keep looking for strength; if it rallies high and falls back, watch out for a shakeout.
ZEC has already gained attention.
What we need to watch next is not whether it "has risen," but—
Is this wave the tail end of the market, or the start of a new acceleration? $ZEC $180 billion.
My first reaction wasn’t that NVIDIA is doing great again, but how exactly this number was calculated.
Anthropic, an AI company, has a contract value reported at $180 billion with NVIDIA, which is higher than the annual GDP of many countries. Two years ago, this amount could have bought the entire semiconductor sector.
But for those holding NVDA long-term, seeing this kind of news can actually cause anxiety.
Contract value does not equal revenue, let alone profit. This kind of “reported value” metric is so flexible it can encompass an entire industry chain. Reporting $180 billion today, but if delivery schedules change tomorrow or computing demand slows, no one can say how much will actually materialize.
NVIDIA’s problem has never been a lack of orders, but that the orders are so staggering the market has started to doubt whether these numbers represent real demand or are just a cyclical narrative buildup.
The stock price not going crazy following this news already says something.
So the real question is: how much of this $180 billion is actual cash, and how much is just a number on a memorandum?

#高盛预估2027年AI相关资本开支约1.2万亿美元 #财报观察员：美光财报临近，AI存储需求成焦点 $NVDA This $PEPE really knows how to shake things up.
Any random listing rumor pumps it up, but once the hype fades, it crashes back to square one.
Looking at the long-short ratio, no wonder people chase every rise.
65% of the entire network is going long; can it really keep rising like this?
If I were the market maker, I wouldn’t rush to pump it; it’s more profitable to first trigger the longs.
Isn’t that right, guys? Do you really want to go long this much?
Do you like chasing that much?
Can you stop chasing? Isn’t it better to go short sometimes?
I entered my long at 0.000012, currently down 180%, but I’m not worried.
Why? Because my leverage is low, and the liquidation price is ridiculously far away.
The longs are too crowded; when the market maker dumps, it’s to shake out the longs. The more they shake, the more it falls, forcing long stop losses. The price drops further, causing a cascade of liquidations.
I advise you not to go long now; going long now just hands chips to the market maker.
But I won’t cut my long; I’m waiting.
Waiting for the shakeout to end, waiting for most longs to be cleared, waiting for the market maker to pump—that’s the real time to go long.
Don’t blindly go long; going long requires timing.
I have plenty of patience; this time, I won’t squeeze longs with retail traders.

#BTC现货ETF连续7日净流入近30亿美元 The ETF door for $NEAR has opened, but the coin price stumbled at the entrance.
Bitwise's NEAR ETF has completed a new listing registration step, with documents showing that the NYSE Arca has approved its listing application. The news sounds solid, and today NEAR touched $5.57 intraday before retreating to around $5.10. The paperwork has moved forward, but whether ETF funds continue to flow in still depends on trading data.
BTC dropped over 2% today, while NEAR's decline was about 1%, managing to withstand the market pressure. However, it also dipped to $4.95 intraday.
NEAR's strategy:
Currently around $5.09, first see if $5 can hold. After a pullback and stabilization, small positions can be observed. If it climbs back above $5.50 and breaks today's high of $5.57, then consider following the momentum. If it falls below today's low of $4.95 and fails to recover, then exit first—don't stubbornly hold on just because of the ETF news.
BTC also needs to cooperate:
It is still fluctuating around $83,000. If it continues to weaken, even with news, NEAR is likely to spike and then fall back. The ETF provides the topic, but the buyers are the ones who pay.
The ETF door hasn't fully opened yet, but retail investors have already hung the welcome banner.
Institutions: Hold on, don't shout yet, my car hasn't even stopped, wait a bit more! Reporting to my brothers about my total account balance.
In the past 8 days, I started trading with the 30u sent to me from OK Planet, beginning with near and uni, then later trading sui. Each time the leverage was about 4.1x, and today I used 5x leverage to trade btc. Now the account balance is almost 200u. It's nearly 7x, but not quite.

Monitored address 0x8afa opened a long position:
▪ Execution price: $86.98
▪ Transaction amount this time: $49,987.66
▪ Leverage: 3x
Note: This address has earned over $41,000 in profit in the past 30 days, with a return rate of +2.50% From the capital perspective, spot ETFs continue to see net inflows, building a buffer of spot buying, with ample support in the spot market. The fundamental conditions for a large-scale, trend-driven decline have not formed. However, macro constraints have clearly imposed restrictions: U.S. Treasury real yields are rising, and geopolitical events are pushing up inflation expectations, passively raising risk premiums on risk assets. This suppresses upward momentum in coin prices, resulting in a structural divergence where spot prices provide a floor while futures contracts peak and weaken.
From a technical order book perspective, prices repeatedly test the upper boundary of the range, with volume-price divergence appearing on short timeframes. After surging, volume fails to follow through, and the validity of an upward breakout is unconfirmed, representing a high risk-reward counter-trend shorting opportunity. The trade does not speculate on a main trend reversal to bearish but targets only the lower boundary within the range, without assuming trend extension.
In a 100x high leverage environment, the futures market faces tail risks such as short squeezes with wick spikes, liquidation pressure, and funding rate losses. Once positions reach preset profit targets, they are fully closed in one go, proactively foregoing remaining market fluctuations to prioritize closing profitable positions and avoid sudden liquidity shocks amid a volatile range.
Currently, the market is in a balanced range-bound bottoming phase, with spot buying limiting downside and macro variables suppressing upside. Range trading must avoid fixed one-sided narratives; the core of trading is risk control and exit rules, not predicting the market’s end point Skew has returned to the 92nd percentile of the 52-week range, with put options only slightly more expensive relative to calls, still far from historical typical levels. This scene is too familiar to me: in the last cycle, I was watching skew like this, telling myself "no one is panicking, hold on."
Then the market kept grinding, grinding until I started to doubt if I was the only one still holding.
Laeviats says this is skew reversion, not concentrated buying of protection. Translated, it means the market is down, but no one is willing to pay for insurance. On the $ETH side, call premium is narrowing, bullish sentiment is retreating, but no one is taking the opposite short position either.
What really alerts me is precisely this quietness. No panic means positions haven't been fully cleared; what’s coming may not have arrived yet.
Are you really not panicking now, or have you just gotten too lazy to panic?

Many of SpaceX's ambitions—Starlink, orbital computing power, Mars colonization, and so on—are all entrusted to Starship. Only when Starship can start generating its own revenue can the flywheel truly begin to accelerate.

$BTC is holding near $84K after a strong week,while $ETH trades around $2.7K and $SOL near $121.
The bigger story is liquidity returning:
➤U.S. spot BTC ETFs attracted roughly $2.4B last week, their strongest weekly inflow since October 2025.➤ETH ETFs recorded around $690M in inflows.➤Solana funds hit a record $86.7M daily inflow.
Capital is gradually flowing back into crypto.
Structure before narratives. Confirmation before conviction.
No FOMO. No forced entries. Is it time to chase the rally, shake out positions, or is it just sentiment holding up? Watching the market these past two days gives a very subtle feeling. BTC is oscillating between 83,000 and 85,000, like riding a roller coaster that hasn't really started. ETH is stuck between 2,600 and 2,700; despite solid technical fundamentals, it's weighed down by gas fees, Layer 2, and staking redemptions. DOGE is hovering around 9 cents; while others focus on the Fed, it’s watching for new memes today and whether Musk is awake. Data snapshot: - BTC fluctuates around 84,000, with 84,800 repeatedly mentioned as a key support level for bulls - ETH consolidates between 2,600 and 2,700, strong ecosystem but price not responding - DOGE near 0.09, meme sentiment persists but lacks new narrative momentum - Macro data, geopolitical news, and retail sentiment all fail to provide clear direction Momentum signals: - If BTC holds 84,800, the market will retell the 90,000 story - If ETH breaks 2,700, Layer 2 and staking narratives may be repriced - DOGE can ignite short-term sentiment with just one tweet from Musk Risk signals: - If BTC falls below 83,000, consolidation may turn into a shakeout - If ETH fails to break 2,700 for a long time, holders’ patience will be tested - DOGE lacking new memes, 9 cents may become a sentiment peak rather than a bottom My own understanding is that the market is currently trading on waiting itself. BTC is waiting for macro to give Many people reflexively try to buy the dip as soon as they see "down 10%", which is the most typical trading mistake—treating the drop as a bargain rather than using the structure as a basis. The drop itself is not a reason to buy; the moving average arrangement is.
Taking $WLD as an example, here is a reusable method for market analysis: use the arrangement of MA5 and MA20 to judge whether the trend is healthy. Currently, MA5=0.50996 has crossed below MA20=0.534875, with the short-term moving average below the long-term moving average, indicating a bearish arrangement and an unhealthy trend; RSI=37.1 is weak but not oversold, MACD histogram=-0.004259 is still negative, so bearish momentum has not exhausted. The lower Bollinger Band at 0.496109 is the nearest support reference, and the amplitude of the last 30 candlesticks is about 16.86%, indicating significant volatility and that chasing orders is easy to get shaken out.
Conclusion: This round of decline is a trend weakening, not a healthy pullback, and it is not advisable to go against the trend with heavy positions. The real opportunity appears after the "unable to fall further" signal, not during the decline.
The direction is bearish. Entry reference is 0.5150–0.5250 (a rebound above MA5, near the middle Bollinger Band repair zone, which is a rebound selling point within the bearish structure); take profit 1 target is 0.4960 (Bollinger lower band support); take profit 2 target is 0.4800 (extension target after breaking the lower band); stop loss is 0.5380 (if price stands back above MA20, the bearish structure fails).Day twenty-nine, a single-day loss of 29,022.67 yuan. The cumulative loss dropped to -34,400 yuan. Four consecutive days of losses, each day worse than the last. $BTC $ETH
On September 27, Bitcoin consolidated narrowly above $84,000, with a 24-hour gain of only +0.14% and a volatility of less than 1%. Ethereum hovered around $2,700, with its 24-hour gain narrowing to 0.45%. The market seemed calm on the surface, but beneath the water was a sea of blood.
The surface was calm, but underwater were corpses everywhere. In the past 24 hours, 66,222 people were liquidated across the network, totaling $156 million, with short liquidations at $84.49 million and long liquidations at $71.48 million. Ethereum short liquidations were $8.3 million, Bitcoin short liquidations were $11.44 million.
And the root of it all was the knife hanging overhead. On September 16, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates to 3.75%-4.00%, the first hike since July 2023. CME shows about a 50% chance of a rate hike in October, and nearly a 90% chance of another hike within the year. Negotiations between the US and Iran in the Strait of Hormuz broke down during the UN General Assembly, keeping oil prices at $103.94 per barrel, with geopolitical risk premiums remaining high. The US dollar strengthened, and the opportunity cost of holding non-interest-bearing assets continued to rise.
I lost 29,022 yuan that day. I heavily went long near $84,000, betting on “RSI recovery + ETF funds support.” The monthly RSI did rise to 54, reclaiming the key 50 threshold. The Supertrend indicator also turned green near $84,000. But the technical recovery was as fragile as paper against a 90% chance of rate hikes. Bitcoin briefly touched $85,000 before quickly falling back, and my position was repeatedly liquidated amid the volatility.
It’s been twenty-nine days. From +43,281 to -34,400, the curve looks like a broken spine. Five days ago, I was glad to have climbed out of the deep pit; five days later, I fell even deeper. Every time I thought I understood the market—RSI recovery, ETF inflows, regulatory easing—the market told me with a bearish candle: in a rate hike cycle, technical indicators are just a placebo.When choosing long-term investments, do you value income, business model, or valuation the most?
For long-term investments, I value the business model the most. Income is just a result. Many companies rely on burning cash subsidies; their short-term income looks good, but once the cash burn stops, performance will directly decline. Valuation is heavily influenced by market sentiment—when the market is good, prices are high; when the market is bad, prices are low, with many variables.
The business model is fundamental. Look at whether the company can keep making money and if it has advantages that others can't take away.
Take Moutai as an example. Its business model is very solid. The brand is strong, products sell easily, it doesn't need to spend a lot on advertising, can raise prices, and has very stable cash flow. Even if income growth slows in a certain year, as long as this model remains intact, it has long-term value.

$PUMP pulled up 10 points against the overall market's decline, current price 0.004885.
Volume reached 448 million, not just hype. Small caps fear a sharp rise and fall against the trend; only by holding above 0.0048 can there be a next leg up.
Are you ready to chase, or wait for a pullback before moving? For analysis only, not investment advice, risk at your own discretion.
$PUMP Institutional custody continues to be implemented, and CORE is opening the compliant gateway for BTC-Fi.
For BTC-Fi to truly grow, it cannot rely solely on retail users; institutional funds are the key incremental factor, and compliant custody is the first barrier for institutions to enter.
CORE has successively integrated and cooperated with two global leading digital asset custodians, BitGo and Hex Trust. BitGo, as a compliant custody institution in the US, provides institutional clients with dual staking services, allowing institutions to participate in BTC staking within custody accounts while avoiding the risks of self-custody of private keys; Hex Trust covers the Asia-Pacific and Middle East regions, filling the institutional channels in emerging markets.
This cooperation model addresses two major pain points for institutions: first, compliant asset custody that meets institutional risk control requirements; second, a dual staking mechanism that pairs BTC staking with CORE staking to obtain layered returns. Based on this system, the BTC staking ETP supported by CORE's underlying technology has also been listed on the London Stock Exchange, open to overseas professional investors.
However, the pace of institutional fund entry is slow, with long decision cycles. Institutional funds are extremely cautious and will not rush in on a large scale due to short-term market narratives; instead, they tend to test with small positions step by step.
Institutional cooperation is a long-term positive factor, but it is difficult to quickly drive market momentum in the short term; it mainly lays the foundation for the long-term narrative of the sector.Data week, the real surprise is not strength
This week combines non-farm payrolls and PCE, and the market is focused on whether it's "strong or not," but it may be looking at the wrong point.
In September, the Fed raised rates to 3.75%-4%, the dot plot still shows one more hike, and Powell hasn't softened his stance. PCE is expected at 3.7%, core above 3.3%, and the core month-over-month is the real switch: 0.2%, the Fed can still hold; above 0.3%, an October hike is almost locked in. The current market pricing for October is about 66%-70% probability.
The divergence in non-farm payrolls is even more exaggerated. August was 162,000, with an expectation of only 55,000. This time the expectation is between 60,000 and 100,000. If strong, rate hike bets heat up; if weak, risk assets actually get a breather.
$BTC and $ETH have already weakened. BTC fell below 84,000, ETH lost 2,650. From 76,000 to 87,000 in September was an emotional recovery after the rate hike, not a fundamental improvement. When the bond market trembled, BTC dropped from 87,000 to 83,000 at the fastest speed.
My view differs: most people bet the data will remain strong, but BTC rose on the day of the September rate hike, indicating "more hikes to come" have already been priced in. What is truly unpriced is any easing in PCE, even by 0.1 points. The market's tolerance for hawkishness may be higher than expected. Before the data, BTC and ETH are caught in the middle, only able to sway with sentiment.
#本周迎非农与PCE关键数据
#BTC现货ETF周流入创近一年新高
#财报观察员：美光财报临近，AI存储需求成焦点 I was careless when opening the position and entered a holding amount of 7777, thinking it was a lucky number. Now, the $UNI position is floating at a loss of over 3300 U, and these 7777 coins have become the hottest potato in my hands. The $HBAR short position next to it is the same; I originally wanted to hedge, but ended up getting hit on both sides. This is how it is trading full margin on OKX—you think you're controlling risk, but the risks are actually accumulating in the shadows. Looking at this -45% return now, I can only feel that the 7777 is a joke. Tonight, I won't be able to sleep well.$BTC Take a position according to your risk tolerance
Plan A Conservative: Short at $84,800-$85,100 (pressure line extension), stop loss at $86,000 (buffer above previous high $85,224), target $83,200, 5x leverage, risk-reward ratio about 1:1.7. Take it if it comes, forget it if not, the kind you can sleep well with.
Plan B Recommended: Short at $84,200-$84,500 (breakout pullback + current pressure line), stop loss at $85,300 (above rebound high $85,146), target $82,900 then $82,000, 10x leverage, risk-reward ratio 1:1.5 to 1:2.5. Whether the pullback gives face or not, there’s profit to be made; if not, consider it the last dignity before the iron bottom.
Plan C Aggressive: Short directly at current price $83,200, stop loss at $84,000 (if price returns to breakout start point, it’s a fakeout, admit mistake and exit), targets $82,000 and $81,200 support levels, 15x leverage, risk-reward ratio 1:1.5, reaching support levels is 1:2.5. Being just one step from the iron bottom and still daring to short with 15x leverage, "your guts are really plump," don’t move the stop loss under any circumstances. $BTC — the $83K zone is under pressure 👀
BTC is hovering around $83.1K, after rejecting the $85K area and dropping toward today’s $82.7K low. Bulls need to reclaim $84K–$85K first; above that, $87K–$88K becomes the next key test. 📈
Lose $82.7K, and downside pressure could build toward $81K–$80K. ⚠️
For me: $82.7K is the line in the sand — reclaim $85K and BTC can start rebuilding momentum toward $87K–$90K. 🚀#PCEAndPayrollsWeek #MicronEarningsAhead $AAVE Don't talk about faith, tonight we only watch the Fed's mood
⚠️ Core alert:
Tonight before and during the US stock market, the US will release the PCE Price Index (the Fed's most watched inflation indicator) and initial jobless claims.
As a veteran trader, I must remind everyone: the current crypto market is not an independent kingdom; it is a shadow of US dollar liquidity. If the PCE data exceeds expectations (inflation stubborn), the Fed's rate cut expectations will be dampened, the US Dollar Index (DXY) will surge, and among these 44 tokens in the crypto market, except for stablecoins, all are lambs to the slaughter.$BTC This drop doesn't count as a fakeout
After peaking at $87,247 on Wednesday, it has been a steady decline, with two rebounds at $85,224 and $85,146 stepping down gradually. The descending pressure line now presses around $84,300. Before yesterday, $BTC could still hold within the narrow range of $83,750-$84,950, but the K-line at midnight broke through directly, hitting a low of $83,166, currently at $83,212. Below is the iron bottom at $82,832, with basically no support in between.
Looking at the lines: the rebound will first hit the pressure line near $84,300, then up to $85,200 (the high points of the previous two rebounds). If it can't break higher, hold the line; if the iron bottom breaks, watch for a retest at $81,200. MA3 has already fallen below MA5, and volume is shrinking day by day. Shrinking volume with a slow decline is the most frustrating. Funding rate is 0.002%, bulls are still paying, talking tough but acting soft.
$ETH Fell hard, but buyers shouldn't rush
$ETH 24h -1.81%, falling even harder than $BTC, hovering near its 9/24 low of $2,626 at $2,647. High points are also decreasing step by step: $2,788, $2,743, $2,722. The trend is bearish following $BTC, so don't rush to heavily buy contracts at the bottom; spot traders should watch $2,626 closely—if this leg weakens, don't catch the fall.#BTC现货ETF连续7日净流入近30亿美元
7 days, $3 billion, ETF funds are back. But the driver of this inflow is not the fundamentals of crypto itself, but macro expectations—the Treasury Department expanded long-term bond repurchases, pushing risk appetite back up.
Net inflow on September 25 was $134.5 million, exceeding $100 million per day for 7 consecutive trading days, totaling $2.9783 billion. The turning point was September 21, with nearly $1 billion in a single day, the largest since October 2025. Two weeks ago, the trend was completely opposite—on September 15, the day the CLARITY Act vote failed, ETF net outflow was $450 million, the highest since June.
The core signal is that the cumulative net inflow for the year has turned positive again. On July 13, it was still negative $5.69 billion for the year, but by September 24 it had returned to positive $886.8 million, an improvement of about $6.6 billion. Nate Geraci pointed out that since the Treasury announced increased long-term bond repurchases, ETF cumulative inflows have reached $5.3 billion, including $2.4 billion last week.
But structural risks lie in ETH. BTC has exceeded $100 million per day for 7 consecutive days, while ETH, although also continuously inflowing, was only $87 million on September 25, clearly lagging behind. Institutional increments are concentrated within the channel toward BTC, not a broad-based entry.Stablecoins transferring on Ethereum: why ETH doesn't necessarily rise immediately
Some people directly translate stablecoin transaction growth into $ETH buying pressure, but I think a few steps are missing in between. Stablecoins can be used for payments, settlements, trading margins, or might just be transfers between accounts. Their choice of Ethereum indicates the network has utility, but it doesn't mean every dollar transferred requires an additional purchase of one dollar worth of ETH.
The most direct connection is execution cost: on-chain transactions require resources, and the fee mechanism is linked to ETH. However, how high a single fee is, how applications pay on behalf of users, and whether transactions occur on the mainnet or L2 all affect actual demand. Between increased network usage and token price revaluation, there is a transmission process involving supply, fees, and allocation behavior.
This is not to pour cold water on Ethereum. Being able to support daily financial activities itself has more long-term significance than relying solely on speculative trading. When studying utility, one should track sustained usage, fund retention, and settlement relationships, rather than treating a huge transfer figure as a price target calculator. Real business and reasonable valuation need to be argued separately.
I am optimistic about ETH becoming the underlying asset for more financial operations, but I hope this optimism can withstand scrutiny. If transaction volume growth, fee revenue, and staking demand do not improve in sync, we must admit value capture is still in adjustment; if usage continues to expand and related demand gradually materializes, the long-term judgment will be more solid. Let on-chain business grow first; that is more useful than prematurely declaring victory for the price.[Old Leek Observation] About the fourth of six coins worth watching after US stocks enter DeFi
$MORPHO
After US stocks go on-chain, the real problem to solve is not "how to buy."
But what you can do after buying.
Ondo's SPYon and QQQon have already entered the Morpho lending market, allowing these tokenized ETFs to be used as collateral to borrow USDC.
This means that once a stock or ETF is on-chain, it is no longer just a token that follows the price fluctuations of US stocks.
It can enter DeFi lending.
This is exactly what Morpho is doing.
Recently, Aave has integrated 7 Coinbase tokenized US stocks into its lending system, and the whole direction is shifting from "issuing RWA" to "RWA entering DeFi."
Entry: $2.4–$2.7
Take profit: $2.85 / $3.10 / $3.40 / $3.80
Stop loss: $2.28
If RWA continues to expand from the trading market to the lending market, Morpho will capture the financial infrastructure layer. #USStocksEnterDeFiLendingSystemHot Coin Data Rankings
$ETH price rise shows divergence with active selling dominance: In three sets of 5-minute statistics, active buying accounts for 29.8%, active selling accounts for 70.2%, with active selling amount about 2.35 times that of active buying; the current 15-minute candlestick rose 0.11%; open interest decreased by 0.09%, open interest value changed by +0.02%, quantity decreased while value increased coexist, valuation changes offset the contraction in quantity.
$BTC price rise leans towards sellers: In three sets of 5-minute statistics, active buying accounts for 42.2%, active selling accounts for 57.8%, with active selling amount about 1.37 times that of active buying; the current 15-minute candlestick rose 0.06%; open interest increased by 0.23%, open interest value changed by +0.29%, open interest indeed expanded, quantity and value changes are aligned.
$HBAR rise signal mainly reflected in price: In three sets of 5-minute statistics, active buying accounts for 49.5%, active selling accounts for 50.5%; the current 15-minute candlestick rose 0.99%; open interest increased by 0.52%, open interest value changed by +1.62%, open interest indeed expanded, quantity and value changes are aligned. Price shows an upward trend, active transactions do not show a clear one-sided bias, current strength mainly reflected in price performance.
ETH, BTC: The rise lacks active buying support, the two observations have not yet formed a consistent strong signal.Where did all the money go?
The contract side is running faster than anyone: $BTC's nominal position value dropped from 9.45 billion USD to 7.95 billion in six days, a net outflow of 1.5 billion, with 890 million withdrawn in a single day on 9/24. Interestingly, $ETH initially followed the bleeding trend, but in the last two days, its open interest reversed and flowed back by over 40 million. On one side, the majority are abandoning $BTC, while on the other, some are taking advantage of $ETH's discount to buy. This scissors difference is worth watching.
The real root cause is the pump stopping: Spot ETFs had a net inflow of 2.4 billion USD last week, which sounds like the strongest in nearly a year. But looking closer, the daily inflows weakened day by day: 999 million on the first day, 715 million on the second, and only 340 million on the third, then a sharp cliff drop of 80% afterwards. The Federal Reserve just raised rates by 25 basis points to 3.75%-4.00% in September, and the dot plot still hints at one last hike this year. The August inflation data on 9/30 is looming overhead. Money is more honest than people; it runs first out of respect. $SNDK is showing a fairly typical trend again
On Monday, the US stock market continued to fluctuate and weaken before the open, but this pre-market weakness does not necessarily mean the decline will continue after the open. What really needs attention is the direction choice and amplified volatility after the US market opens 💥
Additionally, Micron's earnings report is about to be released. As an important company in the storage sector, Micron and SanDisk have strong sector linkage. Recently, tech earnings have generally performed well, and the market is relatively optimistic about the storage industry's prosperity and earnings expectations 👊
Therefore, before the earnings release, it is possible that funds will trade in advance based on expectations, driving a rally in the storage sector.
From the position perspective, after previous adjustments, SanDisk is currently at a relatively low short-term level. If the pre-market weakness can be quickly recovered after the open, and trading volume expands simultaneously, then the subsequent focus can be on long rebound opportunities 🎯
Yan Yan's current thinking: inclined to look for long opportunities after a pullback and stabilization, but it must be combined with volume and price performance after the open. Blindly chasing just because the position is low is not recommended 👊#本周迎非农与PCE关键数据 $TAO is not at a bottom-fishing point now; it is at an observation point. Here's the conclusion first: short-term bias is bearish, but it has entered a left-side range suitable for positioning, wait for confirmation before taking action.
Here's a reusable method—use moving average alignment to judge if the trend is healthy. In a healthy uptrend, MA5 should be above MA20 and both should be moving upward synchronously; currently, TAO's MA5=302.82 is below MA20=314.095, the moving averages show a bearish alignment, indicating the mid-term trend has weakened, and a rebound near MA5 will face resistance.
Looking at auxiliary indicators: RSI=40.6, in a weak zone but not oversold yet, with room to dip further; MACD histogram=-1.069, bearish momentum is still releasing, no sign of volume contraction or turning; Bollinger Band lower band at 294.696 is the nearest structural support. Funding rate +0.0050%, longs are still paying to hold positions, indicating bottom-fishing sentiment hasn't cleared, which is a short-term bearish signal—longs not dead, downtrend continues.
Therefore, the strategy is to wait for price to pull back to the Bollinger lower band 294–298 range to lightly try going long. This position is also close to the lower edge of the 30-candle amplitude of 12.91%, offering good cost performance. Take profit 1 is at 306 (near current price and MA5, first resistance), take profit 2 at 314 (MA20, trend reversal confirmation). Stop loss set at 288; breaking below the Bollinger lower band and moving far from MA5 indicates accelerating bears, must exit. The Fear & Greed Index at 74 is still in greed territory, sentiment hasn't cooled, so position size should be restrained. Main focus $BTC | Strategy shorting,
The box is shattered everywhere, plenty of short positions
Initial operation: $BTC is now $83,200, down 1.4% in 24 hours, hovering just above the iron bottom of $82,832 on 9/24, trembling slightly, the direction is still short, but the rhythm has changed. If you haven't entered yet, don't chase at the iron bottom door, wait for a rebound to $84,200-$84,500 (breakout pullback level + current pressure line) to place shorts, stop loss at $85,300, target $82,900 then watch $82,000, 10x leverage.
The three highs at $87,247, $85,224, and $85,146 are getting lower each time, and in the early morning $BTC smashed through the narrow box below $84,000. Let me ask, are you still chasing ETFs? It replied "not dating girls," which sounds like a denial, but actually guarantees nothing, think about it carefully.
US stocks popped champagne, crypto circle turned off the lights to eat noodles
US stocks rose decently last Friday: Dow +0.93% closed at 51,828 ending a three-day losing streak, Nasdaq +0.48% closed at 27,068, up over 2% for the week, Apple’s market cap approached the $5 trillion mark. Hang Seng ADR followed with a sip, +0.34%. But the crypto circle doesn’t buy it, after US stocks rise, $BTC still has to fall. BTC is now around 83K, down more than 1.69% in 24h.
But there's a detail that's quite different this round:
Futures OI has dropped to about 652,000 BTC, close to the year's low; perpetual funding rates have also turned negative.
The price is falling, but leveraged positions are withdrawing.
So this isn't the kind of market where "the more it falls, the more people add positions, leading to a final concentrated liquidation." It now feels more like sentiment is cooling first, and the funds willing to stay in the market are biased bearish.
The weakness is real, but positions have already been significantly lightened.
At times like this, if I see big volatility again, I'll be more cautious about shorts getting squeezed than I was a few days ago.
$BTC Settlement peak recedes, SOL steals the spotlight
About $16 billion in options contracts settled, releasing nearly 30% of BTC and about 40% of ETH positions, marking the most concentrated "decompression" in the derivatives market this cycle. After the selling pressure subsided, BTC slightly rose on low volume near 84,500, with the biggest pain points at 75,000–79,000 now below the current price, significantly reducing downside pressure from hedging; dense GEX chips around 84,000 keep the price running at the edge, and low volatility often signals an imminent directional choice.
ETH holds at 2,690, RSI at 58, biggest pain point around 2,380, with a bearish/bullish ratio of 0.67, maintaining a bullish bias. In contrast, SOL has become the focus of capital: US spot ETF net inflow for the week is about $188 million, the second highest in history, with cumulative inflows exceeding $1.6 billion; price consolidates near 121, making it the strongest performer among major coins.
Options settlement cleared short-term position obstacles, temporarily freeing BTC and ETH, while SOL independently strengthened fueled by ETF capital. The next phase will be determined by macro data and ETF capital flows to dictate market rotation rhythm.

#财报观察员：美光财报临近，AI存储需求成焦点 #美伊继续磋商霍尔木兹开放条件 Let's take a look at Ripple. Let's start with the key point of this round: Basically, there isn't much volatility, so we follow the trading method I mentioned before. Make sure to set your take-profit and stop-loss properly. The current price is about 1.491, and in 24 hours it's down about 1.7%. For OKX, the 24-hour high was around 1.546, the lowest was around 1.470, and it hovered around 1.5 all day. As for the trading advice, my view remains unchanged: between the current price and 1.7, you can buy short in batches. At 1.7, stop loss and take profit depends on the individual. The key to buying short positions is 'in batches.' Don't fill your position at the same price all at once. You can first hold a small portion at the current price, then add more when it rebounds to the selling pressure zone above. The closer you get to 1.7, the more you need to control your total position. Even if it pulls in the middle, your average cost looks better, and the 1.7 stop loss is still in the plan. Also, remember that XRP has a lot of news coverage, and occasionally there are sudden rallies from news reports, so stop losses must be posted on exchanges, not dwelled on the exchange. Control your positions well and don't get too caught up. Technically, let's look at the 4-hour chart. Last week, Ripple surged to around 1.66, marked as a weak high, then was pushed down; It rebounded to around 1.62 but couldn't go up, forming a lower high, then kept going down. Currently, the price is directly below the selling pressure zone between 1.50 and 1.55, and any rebound is being held down by this area. Looking down, there is a single peak near 1.466【On-Chain Trading Update｜xyz:COIN】
Monitored address 0xcb02 opened a short position:
▪ Execution price: $195.24
▪ Transaction amount this time: $39,220.01
Note: This address has earned over $101,000 in the past 30 days, with a return rate of +6.17% Two hours before the US stock market opens, OKX just launched the CRDO perpetual contract, connecting the AI high-speed interconnect chip to the market.
Before the US stock market opens at 21:30 tonight, I found the newly listed CRDOUSD perpetual contract in the OKX futures market, where you can directly trade this AI interconnect chip asset using USDT. I just checked the order book; although Nasdaq hasn't opened yet, there are already multiple buy and sell limit orders placed inside the market.
This afternoon, I reviewed the September 22 batch of US stock X-Perp announcements. CRDOUSD officially opened at 17:15, with up to 20x leverage, and is settled entirely in USDT. Friends who trade US stocks should be familiar with Credo; many of the AEC active copper cables used in Nvidia servers are from their company, and the underlying stock often experiences intraday volatility exceeding 8%. The contract charges fees every 8 hours, but if the long or short market drives the fee rate to the maximum, the system will automatically switch to charging fees every hour.
On the broader market side, Bitcoin spot is trading around $83,017.9, down 2.25% in 24 hours, with a fear and greed index of 74 (greed). OKX perpetual total open interest stands at $7.815 billion, and BTC's fee rate at 0.0040% is relatively neutral. Although US stock X-Perp allows opening and closing positions within 24 hours, during the few minutes around Nasdaq's 21:30 open, the US stock auction gap often causes sharp spreads between on- and off-exchange prices.
