PPI flashing red, $347 million liquidated: Is CPI the last lifeline for the bulls?
Everyone on the planet is waiting for a data release tonight. As of 09:00 on September 11, this topic has over 3.82 million views and 877 posts.
Data: US August PPI year-on-year 5.4%, exceeding expectations; core PPI month-on-month 0.2%, slightly below expectations; official forecasts expect tonight's CPI overall year-on-year around 3.4%, core about 2.4%. The pricing for a 25 basis point rate hike in September has risen from about 60% to 70%. $BTC once dropped below 77,000, with $347 million liquidated in 24 hours, longs accounting for 86%, and the 30-year US Treasury yield rising to 5.353%.
My view: bearish bias. I won't go long before CPI is released; if BTC fails to reclaim above 78,500, I maintain bearish bias; if core CPI month-on-month drops below 0.1% and the coin price recovers above 78,500, I will turn bullish. I won't chase the first candlestick after the data release; a wick and shakeout are inevitable.

#PPI, CPI released consecutively, the Federal Reserve faces two critical days Did the market react a bit too early to the PPI this time?
#PPI、CPI released consecutively, the Federal Reserve faces two critical days
As soon as the PPI data came out tonight, the market exploded: BTC dropped to around 77,000, ETH retreated to 2430, and ZEC was even worse, turning the high elasticity of altcoins into a high-altitude free fall.
But the data itself is not "completely off the charts." Overall PPI year-on-year is 5.4%, which is indeed hot; but the core month-on-month is only 0.2%, even lower than expected. Simply put, a large part of this heat is driven by oil and diesel prices.
So I'm not rushing to call a bear market now. Tonight the market is trading on "inflation possibly returning," and tomorrow night’s CPI will decide whether this hit was justified or not.
If CPI heats up again and US Treasury yields rise, high elasticity assets like ETH and ZEC will still get hit; if core CPI cools down, tonight’s move looks more like an early exit of leveraged players.

$ETH [Morning Watch] CPI Judgment Night: BTC around 76750
Fact: Last night, ECB raised interest rates by 25bp combined with US PPI YoY at 5.4%, exceeding expectations, market cap retraced about 2%, with long liquidation scale in the hundreds of millions of dollars. Tonight at 20:30 Beijing time, watch August CPI (overall expected YoY about 3.4% / MoM about +0.4%, core about 2.4% / MoM about +0.2%).
Judgment: Overall can be pushed up by oil prices; what really changes next week's FOMC narrative is the core. Short-term volatility ≠ trend.
Vote: Core overheated / Core moderate / Reduce positions and wait for printing638 billion orders pending fulfillment: Oracle and Adobe report, is AI burning money or printing money?
The hottest topic on the planet today is earnings reports: Oracle and Adobe reported after the US market close on September 10.
As of 09:00 on September 11, this topic has over 37.87 million views and 7,241 posts.
Data: Oracle has $638 billion in remaining performance obligations; the market cares about conversion speed and cash flow, not demand; OCI grew 93% last quarter, with some expecting 112%-127% growth this quarter. Adobe is looking to see if AI products like Firefly and GenStudio can bring incremental subscriptions while maintaining profit margins. Some believe the market no longer buys AI stories, only revenue and cash flow.
My view: cautious. If Oracle's OCI growth misses expectations, I lean bearish on the AI infrastructure chain; if growth meets targets and cash flow guidance improves, I turn bullish. Apple’s foldable screen has been released, AI competition is extending to terminals, and pressure on tool software will only increase.

#EarningsObserver Data volatility has decreased, and now is the moment to test the true $MarsCoin narrative. Can these warriors hold on? Let's look at the data from September 11, 2026. #MarsCoin Top 40 holders data changes: Binance Spot: inflow 6.26% Gate: outflow 26.68% Mexc: outflow 2.12% New entries in top 40: total 4 people, 2 increased positions to enter, 1 transferred in, 1 is from KuCoin. Dropped out of top 40: total 4 people, 2 fully exited, 1 reduced position by half, 1 transferred to Binance. Top 40 increased positions: total 7 people, 5 transferred in, 2 increased positions. Top 40 decreased positions: total 3 people. MarsCoin daily key summary: This time, 4 new people entered the top 40, 2 increased positions with small increments; 4 people dropped out of the top 40, 2 fully exited, the address that transferred to Binance likely reduced positions; although more people increased positions in the top 40, most were transfers, only 2 actually increased positions with small increments; the 3 who decreased positions did so with small amounts. From the data, the market is basically showing low volatility, in a sideways consolidation. Changes among top addresses are minimal, with few increasing or decreasing positions. Exchanges show no major changes. Reaching this point tests the true narrative; those remaining likely believe in the Mars narrative. Since there are no major short-term positives, will these diamond hands succeed? Let's watch closely the solo battle and look forward to future data changes. Everyone, see you in the next MarsCoin data update Life is no fairytale, and traders always think they're geniuses right up until their Stop Loss gets wiped out. Everyone was waiting for CPI and PPI to cool down so $BTC could pump straight through the roof, only for the price to drop dead as soon as the "perfect" news dropped. Macro indicators say inflation is heading in the right direction, but looking at real money flows gives you a slight panic attack as Spot ETFs suddenly flip negative with tens of millions of dollars in net outflows. Big in2. Regulation: Paradigm Shift from "Court Rulings" to "Safe Harbor Path"
In August 2025, Ripple and the SEC officially withdrew their appeals, ending a four-year legal battle. Judge Torres's core ruling was upheld: XRP itself is not a security, but institutional sales crossed the line. The case was closed, but a fundamental question remained unresolved—there were no rules telling issuers how to exit security status without a judge's ruling.
On August 18, 2026, the SEC provided an answer. The proposed "Crypto Asset Regulatory Rules" established two exemption paths: a single issuance up to $5 million within four years, or up to $75 million every 12 months, while also setting up a "safe harbor mechanism"—once the issuer has completed or permanently ceased the key managerial efforts promised under the investment contract, the token can officially exit security classification.
The legal basis for this mechanism is the "key managerial efforts" test standard established by the Supreme Court in the Howey case. This move by the SEC effectively codifies into federal regulations the judgment logic that judges clarified case by case through litigation in the Ripple case. $XRP $BTC $ETH #财报观察员：甲骨文与Adobe今晚交卷 #PPI、CPI接连公布，美联储迎关键两日 #OKX预言家：来星球玩预测 BTC is currently facing the most uncomfortable combination in recent days: BTC ETF saw a single-day outflow of about $258M, Brent crude surged to $107.63, the 10Y US Treasury yield is approaching 5%, and after the PPI, the market pushed the probability of a Fed rate hike next week to about 70%. If tonight's CPI comes in hot again, BTC around 78K will likely continue to undergo macro pressure testing. First, the news: On September 9, the UK House of Lords passed a digital asset strategy amendment by 194 votes in favor and 138 against. It requires the UK Treasury to formulate and publish a national digital asset strategy within 12 months after the Financial Services and Markets Act officially takes effect, covering: crypto assets, stablecoins, tokenized securities, digital payments, clearing and financial infrastructure, innovation, investor protection, crypto companies' access to banking and payment services. But note: this is not yet a formal implementation policy. The bill still needs to return to the House of Commons, where it can accept, amend, or even remove the amendment. What really matters is not "the UK supporting cryptocurrency," but the UK Parliament has begun to publicly discuss a question: Is the UK only regulating cryptocurrencies, or is it preparing to build a digital asset economy? The difference between these two directions is huge. In the past, the biggest problem with crypto in the UK was not a complete ban, but rather regulation that has been moving forward but with a slow strategy. Companies don't know how rules will change in the coming years, banks are cautious about opening accounts with crypto companies, and stablecoin issuers don't know whether the UK wants to capture this market. The result is an awkward situation: the US is competing for crypto financial centers, the EU already has MiCA, Hong Kong, Singapore, and the UAE are also competing for digital asset companies, while London, the traditional financial center, is actually a bit slow. This 194:138 vote essentially means pressure is starting within the UK Parliament: if we don't pursue a national strategy soonSpot ETFs were still attracting funds a few days ago, but in the past two days, about $160 million has flowed out, with institutional momentum clearly slowing down. Coupled with the Middle East pushing up oil prices and rising US Treasury yields, risk assets are collectively under pressure. BTC is temporarily following macro trends, not due to any on-chain issues. Once inflation data is released and rate hike expectations are fully priced in, capital will choose its direction again. $BTC The current price is stuck below 80,000, consolidating. The 81,000–83,000 range above is a pressure zone where long-term holding costs, ETF profits and losses, and liquidation walls overlap. Selling pressure is actually relatively low, but buying hasn't caught up either. Next, watch the CPI and the September 16 interest rate decision; volatility will increase once the data is released. A range-based strategy is more practical than a one-sided prediction: buy near 75k, reduce positions near 82k. $BTC Up 25% in August, then giving back to around 76,000 as September begins is very normal. Historically, the "Black September" has a low success rate, and with the added factors of interest rate hike expectations and two days of ETF net outflows, it's reasonable for funds to take a wait-and-see approach first. In the short term, watch if 75,000–77,000 can hold; if it holds, it's a healthy correction; if it breaks, then we talk about structure. Don't chase highs at 81,000, and don't sell in panic. $BTC September 11 RAY Watch｜Locking liquidity, but not the price
This morning, RAY's 24-hour spot increase on OKX was about 28%. The price moves fast, which can easily lead people to misunderstand the protocol's "lock-up" as a bullish sign. But Raydium's Burn & Earn locks liquidity positions, not the RAY price at a certain level.
This feature allows CPMM or CLMM positions to be permanently placed into program custody, and the underlying liquidity cannot be withdrawn. The term "Burn" does not mean these assets are simply destroyed. Fees can still accumulate, and the right to claim them is carried by a transferable Fee Key NFT: whoever holds it owns the corresponding claim rights. Simply holding RAY does not automatically grant income corresponding to this certificate.
Here, two things are separated: the ability to withdraw liquidity and the right to claim fees. The former can be permanently restricted, while the latter can still be transferred. This helps understand the pool's commitments but does not prove that trading demand will continue, nor does it eliminate token price decline, contract vulnerabilities, or project operational risks.
The lock is irreversible. Once concentrated liquidity positions are locked, the range cannot be adjusted, and losing the Fee Key may permanently forfeit the fee claim rights. Beyond watching RAY's popularity, it is more important to distinguish the boundaries between protocol functions, specific position rights, and the token itself.

The more interesting shift is using settlement receivables to fund daily float through stablecoin credit lines.
My read: the opportunity is working-capital efficiency. No defaults so far is encouraging, but resilience under funding stress would be a stronger test of whether this model can scale reliably.
#VisaStablecoin20B A few days ago, a guy bought 75,000 FIL at $0.8, recharging his faith in FIL. I think he firmly believes FIL can return to its peak. Back when FIL dropped to $20, I thought the same. Later, I realized that FIL miners face difficulties mining and can only break even by selling FIL, which made me understand why FIL's price can't surge significantly.
Because once FIL rises a bit, miners holding a large amount of FIL will rush to cash out, mainly fearing they won't get a good price if they wait too long—this is human nature and unavoidable. I don't know how long that guy who bought 75,000 FIL at $0.8 will hold on.
In short, the guy who spent 2 million buying FIL at $2.3 last time has already disappeared, so I think $0.78 for FIL might not be the bottom. If the halving in October can't revive the price, I dare not imagine what will happen to FIL's price afterward. In the crypto world, I believe it's very important to view narratives and visions rationally and stay clear-headed in time.PPI is just the appetizer; CPI is the feast.
A 5.4% PPI is already in view, energy prices continue to push up transportation costs, and the market's probability of betting on a rate hike in September has risen to 70%.
Over the past two days, many traders stayed up late into the night to adjust and place orders, with market sentiment highly tense. But now is not the time for panic; tonight's CPI is the key to determining the short-term direction.
If CPI continues to exceed expectations, $BTC will bear the brunt, $ETH will be under pressure, and the gains from the earlier rebound may be quickly withdrawn, further tightening risk asset liquidity.
Conversely, if core CPI falls, the market will quickly shift to a more relaxed game, with BTC leading the upward trend and ETH following higher. Investors who just cut losses in the morning may want to chase gains in the afternoon.
However, the recent decline has already priced in most hawkish expectations, with many short positions already positioned a week ago, leaving limited profit potential.
Therefore, even if CPI is slightly above expectations, the market may not collapse immediately; the final trend will depend on whether US Treasuries and the US dollar can support this data.
After watching the market for a long time, you realize that betting on data early is meaningless. Before the data was released, everyone had their opinion, but once the results came out, most people would be proven wrong by the market. What truly matters is not the numbers themselves, but the market reaction: if negative news appears but BTC and ETH fail to fall and quickly recover their losses, this signal is far more valuable than a ten-page analysis. #PPI. CPI releases consecutively, the Fed faces two critical days 9.11 Morning Quick Report 📝
BTC near 77000, dropped again after last night's PPI release, sliding down from 78500. ETH at 2440-2460. The market is calm, volume is low, typically waiting for data.
US Treasury set debt buyback limit at 6 billion, market had expected 8-10 billion, so it was below expectations. US bonds fell instead of rising, 10-year yield broke through 4.84%, hitting a new high since November 2023.
ECB raised rates by 25 basis points, as expected. The statement specifically mentioned Middle East conflicts keeping inflation above target, with possible further moves ahead.
Brent crude broke $100. US-Iran tanker clashes escalated, rewriting supply expectations. When oil rises, inflation trades return.
Gold reclaimed 4400. The dollar's three-day decline helped, safe-haven demand also present.
PPI annual rate 5.4%, slightly above expectations. September FOMC rate hike probability dropped to around 60%.
Tonight at 20:30 Beijing time, US August CPI. This is the last hard inflation data before the rate decision. If high, rate hike expectations will increase; if low, risk assets can breathe. Pricing depends on actual outcome.
Crypto: Red September is still following the old path. Historical win rate is poor, and this year is compounded by oil prices, bond yields, and rate hike expectations. BTC's correlation with gold has risen again; stock market logic doesn't apply for now.
Technically, the 50-day moving average is about to cross above the 200-day, a golden cross may confirm in the next couple of days. The signal exists, but don't treat it as a holy grail; macro factors can easily crush the pattern.
$BTC $ETH Oracle rises, Adobe falls: The AI bull market isn't over, but the era of "rising just by touching AI" is over!
Oracle and Adobe's earnings reports illustrate one thing:
The market no longer buys into the AI story; it only rewards companies that can turn AI into revenue and profit.
Let's look at Oracle first.
Q1 revenue was $19.3 billion, up 30% year-over-year, cloud infrastructure revenue grew 121% year-over-year, and the FY2027 full-year revenue target was raised to $90 billion.
After the earnings release, due to continued growth in AI infrastructure demand, orders, revenue, and future guidance were all strong enough, leading to an after-hours rise of about 7%.
Now let's look at Adobe.
Revenue was $6.76 billion, up 13% year-over-year, AI-related ARR grew over 150% year-over-year, but after-hours it actually fell 2.3%.
The market is starting to ask: With AI growth so fast, why is overall revenue growth only 13%?
Having AI does not equal growth; having growth does not equal profit.
When screening AI companies, I suggest looking at four points:
· Whether AI has converted into real orders and revenue;
· Whether there is pricing power to increase ARPU and profit margins;
· Whether capital expenditures are controllable and revenue can cover investments;
· Whether cash flow has improved accordingly.
The AI bull market is not over, but the market will only reward companies that truly turn AI into money.

$xORCL $xADBE $xAAPL The market probability of an interest rate hike this month is over 70%. I believe the rate will remain unchanged this month, but the statements will be more hawkish. Because it is still early, a slightly higher inflation rate is normal and not yet at the level that requires immediate intervention. This is typical of Walsh's style: either decide not to intervene and leave room for the market to play its role, or intervene decisively when necessary. If inflation rises quickly, the probability of a one-time 50 basis point rate hike next month will be higher.
The price of SanDisk is relatively less affected by whether interest rates rise or not because it has become a necessity. Compared to other varieties, its performance will appear more valuable. ZEC will more likely follow an independent trend; its major clients are not retail investors, nor is it a pump-and-dump scheme.

Today, the Japanese and South Korean stock markets both opened lower and weakened, with a clear decline in risk appetite. The Nikkei 225 initially fell 1.52%, with the decline widening during the session. Major weights such as Japanese chip stocks and SoftBank sharply corrected, and Japanese government bond yields rose, suppressing stock market valuations. The South Korean KOSPI opened with a steep drop of 3.29%, with storage chips across the board plummeting. Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix led the market decline, with the semiconductor sector becoming the main drag.
External factors are the main disturbance. Overnight, US PPI data exceeded expectations, boosting the probability of a Federal Reserve rate hike. US Treasury yields rose, US tech stocks closed lower, and foreign capital withdrew from highly volatile growth stocks. Coupled with a sharp rise in international oil prices, Japan and South Korea, as energy-importing countries, face rising concerns about imported inflation, further suppressing risk assets.#Stacks launches institutional BTC staking program, first batch of 250 BTC locked
**Latest Data**
Stacks officially launches the Genesis Bond institutional staking plan, with four institutions locking a total of 250 BTC, and staking rewards starting to be distributed from September 17. Market price $BTC 76950, falling for two consecutive days, overall market risk appetite declines, most funds choose to wait and watch for inflation data release.
Market Consensus
Optimists believe that institutional participation in BTC yield generation will open new capital inflows, which is beneficial for long-term asset valuation uplift;
Cautious views point out that the scale is relatively small this time, making it difficult to directly drive the market in the short term, mostly a sentiment-level positive, and unlikely to offset the current macro adjustment pressure.
Underlying Logic Analysis
Native BTC staking is a new narrative, representing traditional institutions exploring allocation methods beyond spot and ETFs. However, in the short term, market control still lies with inflation data and US Treasury trends, and a single project’s positive news is unlikely to reverse the current adjustment pace.
$SOL
$SNDK
Personal View (Personally inclined to a gradual bull market return, just a personal opinion, not investment advice)
Such news can be regarded as a long-term industry signal, not a reason for short-term entry. Priority now is to control position size and wait for macro uncertainties to settle before taking action. In the previous message, I was still worried whether ETF funds would weaken along with BTC price decline.
Now the latest data is out: BTC funds are indeed still flowing out, but ETH and SOL are not withdrawing together. This change actually makes me more attentive.
$BTC net outflow is $120.2 million,
$ETH net inflow is $34.7 million,
$SOL net inflow is $11.2 million.
Seeing this data, my first reaction is not "institutions are starting to exit Crypto," but rather whether funds are changing direction?
Because if it were a full-scale risk aversion, I would expect BTC, ETH, and SOL to all flow out together.
But now BTC is still flowing out, while ETH and SOL have turned positive first.
However, I won’t directly say "funds have started rotating" for the time being.
Because on the previous trading day, all three actually still had net outflows; so far, only one day shows such a clear divergence, and the evidence is insufficient.
I will continue to observe for 2–3 more trading days.
If BTC continues to flow out, while ETH and SOL keep flowing in, then I will take the "funds rotating from BTC to other assets" logic more seriously.
If ETH and SOL soon follow BTC in flowing out, then this is more likely just a single-day fund disturbance.
Previously, I was worried about "whether funds would weaken along with BTC."
Now I want to confirm: are funds actually leaving Crypto, or just unwilling to stay in BTC any longer? With the recent rebound in US inflation and employment data, the market has resumed trading expectations for Fed rate hikes. Last night's August PPI rose 5.4% year-on-year, clearly fueling market concerns about another Fed rate hike. For Bitcoin, rising interest rates are certainly not good news. But looking back at past cycles, one thing emerges: Fed rate hikes do not necessarily mean Bitcoin will fall, and rate cuts do not necessarily mean Bitcoin will rise. 2017 is the most typical example. That year, the Fed raised rates three times, but Bitcoin was not significantly suppressed; instead, it rose from about $1,000 at the beginning of the year and peaked close to $20,000 by year-end. If you simply follow the logic of rate hikes negatively affecting Bitcoin, this market rally is hard to explain. Although the financial environment at the time began to tighten, interest rates remained very low, and market risk appetite was very high. Meanwhile, the crypto market entered a phase of rapid expansion, with massive capital flowing in, and Bitcoin's own upward momentum far outpaced the pressure from interest rate changes. The truly obvious tightening cycle came in 2018. The Federal Reserve raised rates four times throughout the year, while Bitcoin fell continuously from its late 2017 high, eventually entering a bear market. But this round of decline cannot be entirely attributed to rate hikes. The frenzied rally in 2017 itself accumulated a large bubble, with leveraged funds retreating, market sentiment reversal, and problems within the crypto industry all driving prices down. The situation in 2020 was completely opposite. After the pandemic broke out, the Fed cut rates consecutively in March 2020, lowering ratesLast night, the PPI exceeded expectations, and historically, the probability of tonight's CPI exceeding expectations is also quite high. The expectation of interest rate hikes has been continuously rising. However, Trump's choice of Walsh is not for raising rates, and ultimately the Federal Reserve's independence might be affected, so actual rate hikes may not happen.
Therefore, from tonight's CPI until the 9/17 rate decision meeting, there may be continuous speculation about rate hikes, causing the market to dip. During this period, if there is a sharp drop, it is an excellent opportunity to gradually replenish spot positions that haven't been fully filled.On one hand, oil prices are hitting BTC, while on the other, Iran is being pushed toward BTC
#伊朗允许BTC与USDT外贸结算
The more you look at this, the more surreal it becomes.
US sanctions are tightening, making it increasingly difficult for Iran to receive money and buy goods, so they have to start exploring bringing BTC and USDT onto the foreign trade settlement table.
But on the other side, once smoke rises from the Strait of Hormuz, oil and diesel prices push PPI higher, and BTC takes a hit first due to interest rate hike expectations.
It's like the same conflict: one hand is pressing down on BTC's head, while the other is handing BTC a business card.
But don't rush to shout "global adoption" just yet. How much can actually be settled, through which channels, and whether USDT will be frozen are all tough questions. Right now, it feels more like the story is taking off, but the real scale is still tying shoelaces on the ground.
In the short term, watch oil prices and CPI: if oil keeps surging, BTC and ETH will both struggle; in the long term, if this cross-border settlement system really takes off, it won't just be a story anymore—people will be forced by reality to use crypto assets.
This weight is heavier than shouting "digital gold" a hundred times.

Brent crude oil $BZ rebounded above $100 intraday yesterday, the first time since July 23. The pressure on oil prices has not fully transmitted to the PPI yet; the real impact is still on the way. Tonight there is also CPI, with the market expecting an overall year-on-year of 3.4% and core year-on-year of 2.4%. If core CPI falls as expected, it means inflation is still cooling down slowly; if it exceeds expectations, a rate hike in September is basically locked in.
After the data came out, the market reacted immediately. BTC $BTC fell below 77,000, US stocks declined, the 30-year US Treasury yield soared to 5.28%, hitting a 19-year high. CME data shows the probability of a September rate hike rose from 54% to 71.3%. On Polymarket, the rate hike probability also rose from 54% to 61%. Gold $XAUT and Bitcoin fell in sync, with funds withdrawing from interest-free assets.
Tonight's CPI is the real highlight. If core CPI unexpectedly rebounds, rate hike expectations will continue to heat up! @OKX星球 #BTC现货ETF大额流入后转负
Institutions just finished buying in, then immediately started withdrawing.
A few days ago, ETF funds poured in heavily, supporting the market's confidence. But the sentiment shifted suddenly, and net inflows turned directly into net outflows. From September 2-4, cumulative inflows were 1.01 billion, then on September 8 it turned into an outflow of 46.6 million. Redemptions of GBTC and FBTC dragged down the numbers, but IBIT and BITB are still seeing inflows.
Don't treat a single day's outflow as a trend. 46.6 million is much smaller than previous inflows and not enough to confirm a reversal. The key is continuity, especially with IBIT. As long as IBIT is still flowing in, the institutional allocation logic hasn't collapsed.
On the market front, $BTC is struggling to rally, and $ETH and $SOL have also lost momentum. Most of the current longs are leveraged retail traders, who are unstable and prone to sharp spikes during volatility.
The biggest fear isn't a drop, but that prices remain high while ETF funds start to withdraw. These two signals combined make short-term panic likely. Don't just focus on whether BTC can hold above 80,000; next, watch ETF funds. If funds return, the market can still rally; if outflows continue, the area above 80,000 won't be solid ground.
CPI, oil prices, and interest rate hike expectations are still testing institutional demand, so don't heavily bet on direction before the data.
Do you think this shift to negative is normal fluctuation or the start of a retreat? An investment-grade rating would change how AI expansion is financed, not prove that the economics work.
OpenAI and Anthropic are seeking ratings that could open bond markets, though neither has issued debt yet. My read: broader funding options could ease reliance on equity, but borrowing would make the timing of cash flows more consequential for compute-heavy growth.
#AIInvestmentGrade After crude oil surpasses $100, the crypto market will definitely be a bit more tense in the short term, but it shouldn't be understood as "oil rises, crypto must fall."
The reason is simple: when oil prices are high, the market worries that inflation will return. Once inflation rises, people tend to think that rate cuts might not come so soon, and U.S. Treasury yields and the dollar are likely to strengthen. As a result, capital usually avoids highly volatile assets first; altcoins and high-leverage contracts are often the first to be affected, while BTC and ETH tend to be relatively more stable, though it's hard for them to be completely unaffected.
However, the crypto market now is influenced not only by macro factors but also by ETF funds, policy news, and on-chain hotspots, all of which affect the trend. So crude oil breaking through $100 is more like adding a layer of pressure to the market, not necessarily immediately crushing the market.
Going forward, the focus is on three things: whether oil prices can maintain their high level, whether U.S. inflation data continues to be on the hot side, and whether U.S. Treasury yields keep rising. If all these strengthen simultaneously, crypto market volatility may increase; if Middle East supply concerns ease and oil prices fall back, market sentiment may gradually recover. #PPI、CPI接连公布，美联储迎关键两日 $BZ $CL Exchange inventory data contrast: Exchange ETH inventory has dropped to a multi-year low, but BTC exchange inventory is slowly rising.
Recently, on-chain exchange reserve data has shown a contrast phenomenon overlooked by self-media. When looking at BTC and ETH together, chip behavior shows obvious divergence.
Latest CryptoQuant on-chain data: The total amount of ETH stored in centralized exchanges has dropped to a multi-year low. A large amount of ETH continues to be withdrawn from exchanges; some enters staking contracts for lock-up, some transfers to institutional cold wallets, and the spot chips available for immediate sale on exchanges continue to decrease.
However, BTC shows the opposite trend, with BTC inventory on exchanges slightly increasing recently. It's not whales selling; more so, it's ETF AP authorized participants who, to handle daily ETF subscriptions and redemptions, need to reserve spot BTC on exchanges as inventory. Whenever the market sees large ETF redemptions, APs can directly allocate $BTC from exchange inventory for delivery without having to buy on the OTC market.
This contrast is easily misread: many see the decline in exchange ETH inventory and immediately judge a big bull market is coming. But it's important to distinguish that $ETH moving out of exchanges ≠ new USD inflow off-exchange. Much of the ETH is just chip relocation within the ecosystem, moving from trading accounts to staking contracts, without simultaneous new USD capital entering. Meanwhile, the rise in BTC exchange inventory is merely turnover inventory for ETF subscription and redemption business, not a sign of collective whale selling.ETH hasn't had much independent movement these past two days, basically just waiting with Bitcoin for tonight's CPI. The price is hovering around 2440 to 2450. Yesterday, the PPI annual rate hit 5.4%, slightly hotter than expected, pushing the rate hike probability up to about 70%. ETH slid from around 2500, touching a low of 2410. The 2400 support line is still holding for now, but it's weakening.
Tonight at 8:30 PM Eastern Time, which is evening in Hong Kong, the August CPI will be released. This is the last key inflation data before the Fed meeting next Wednesday. The market expects core CPI to drop to around 2.3% to 2.4%. If the number exceeds expectations, 2400 will likely break, and 2350 or even 2300 could be tested; if it's moderate or below expectations, shorts will cover partially first, then there might be a chance for a rebound to 2480 or 2500. Liquidity thins out over the weekend, and the aftereffects of the data will drag into Saturday, so don't expect the market to calm down immediately.
On-chain, there are some scattered positives: Singapore Exchange has opened ETH perpetuals to US institutions, and Vitalik mentioned new privacy and quantum resistance directions, but none of these overshadow tonight's macro factors. Don't leverage fully; the volatility around the data release hour will be ugly $ETH Oracle's U.S. stock closed down 5.38% last night, wiping out $25 billion in market value in one day. After the earnings report was released post-close, the stock surged over 8% in after-hours trading. This veteran giant, originally known for its database business, now mainly makes money by renting computing power to AI companies.
Q1 revenue was $19.3 billion, up 30% year-over-year, with cloud infrastructure revenue more than doubling to $7.4 billion. The amount of signed but unexecuted contracts (RPO) has piled up to $664 billion.
The broader market looked completely different: oil prices jumped over 8% overnight to reclaim $100 per barrel, the 30-year U.S. Treasury yield surged to 5.347%, the highest since June 2007, U.S. stocks fell for the fourth consecutive day, and storage chips collectively collapsed. Oracle was the only one moving against the trend.
It dropped 5 points during the day and rose 8 points at night—who can hold on to such a rollercoaster market?
Also tonight, with the U.S. August CPI release, the market bets the probability of a Fed rate hike next week has exceeded 70%. If the data comes in hot again, Oracle's positive news won't be enough to support the whole market, and it feels like it might still fall 🦧
#财报观察员：甲骨文与Adobe今晚交卷 The past two days have seen continued declines, with $BTC dropping to 76700, $ETH to 2450, and $SOL falling below 100.
Now, the focus is not only on the market trends but also on closely monitoring ETF fund flows.
BTC ETFs are still experiencing outflows, but ETH and SOL have already turned to net inflows. I think this change is more noteworthy than just looking at BTC's decline.
Latest complete data:
BTC: net outflow of $120.2 million
ETH: net inflow of $34.7 million
SOL: net inflow of $11.2 million.
On the same trading day, BTC saw outflows while ETH and SOL saw inflows.
So, my current judgment is: at least based on the latest day, the funds are not uniformly withdrawing from Crypto but rather beginning to redistribute internally.
However, it is still too early to say "institutions have rotated from BTC to ETH and SOL."
Because on the previous trading day, BTC, ETH, and SOL all actually had net outflows together. In other words, what we see now is just the first day of clear differentiation and cannot be taken as a trend based on a single day's change.
I will focus on the next 2–3 trading days.
If BTC outflows continue while ETH and SOL keep inflowing, then the logic of this market cycle might change—it’s not that Crypto lacks funds, but that funds are starting to shift direction.
If ETH and SOL soon follow BTC with outflows, then today's data set looks more like a short-term disturbance.
Next steps: wait for stabilization It rose 160% before realizing that not a single cent went into the holders' pockets.
$ARB surged from 0.08 to 0.207 in just two weeks, the story sounds very sexy!
Robinhood Chain is an L2 built with Arbitrum technology, with a daily revenue of $1.92 million, ranking first on the entire chain, and a DEX trading volume of 47 billion in two months.
But the AEP protocol clearly states that 10% of the revenue goes to the DAO treasury and the developer guild, and $ARB holders don't get a single cent.
On September 1st, $175,000 flowed into the foundation, but ARB's market value rose by 170 million that day, nearly a thousand times the expected difference.
This week it has fallen for four consecutive days from 0.207 back to 0.15, smart money is rushing to cash out.
Even worse, on September 16th, 92.6 million ARB tokens unlock coinciding with the FOMC decision, a double hit of supply and macro on the same day. 0.1036 is the first support level, the tokenomics remain unchanged, any rebound is just a desperate escape wave, wait until the unlock sell-off is over before talking about the left side.
#Robinhood首次担任IPO承销商 Brent crude briefly surged close to $110. According to past patterns, the 'King of Understanding' will have to step in, otherwise the sustained high oil prices will lead to a slowdown or even a decline in global GDP growth. Historically, if oil holds steady at $110, global GDP would drop by about 0.6%, global CPI would rise by 0.6 to 0.9 percentage points, and central banks generally adopt a cautious but hawkish policy stance on inflation, though not necessarily aggressive rate hikes.
However, the market's predicted probability of a rate hike in September surged to 70% yesterday. Although it has now dropped to around 65%, caution is still warranted, as rate hikes could have a significant impact on the crypto space.
Bitcoin's daily chart shows a death cross with weakening momentum. Currently, there is no positive news, and a correction to around 75,000 to 76,000 in the next week or two is highly likely.
Now we just wait for the 'King of Understanding' to come out and paint a rosy picture, crude oil to plunge, and enjoy the gains smoothly. Don't rush to bottom-fish! This sharp drop in BTC is not an ordinary shakeout but a macro hammer combined with leveraged stampede. U.S. Treasury yields are soaring, rate hike expectations are heating up, high-level long positions are liquidating in a chain reaction, and the short-term trend is being driven by U.S. inflation and the September FOMC meeting.
Key levels: Resistance at 79,500-81,500, strong resistance at the previous high of 82,300; only a volume-backed close above this can restart the upward trend. First support at 77,000 (20-day moving average on daily chart), strong support at 75,500-76,000, which is an important chip area this round. Multiple attempts to break 82,300 have failed, with heavy profit-taking. BTC behaves more like a risk asset; as U.S. Treasury yields rise, funds withdraw, ETFs see outflows, and leveraged stampedes amplify the decline. The long-term bullish cycle is not completely broken, but short-term macro bearish factors dominate, increasing pressure for a volatile pullback.
Scenario 1: CPI cools down, no rate hike in September, U.S. Treasury yields fall, BTC rebounds and retests 81,500-82,300. Scenario 2: Inflation exceeds expectations, September rate hike is hawkish, first test 77,000; a volume-backed break below 76,000 targets 73,000-74,000.
Action: Do not blindly bottom-fish. Watch if 77,000-76,000 can hold; do not chase longs without volume-backed break above resistance. Control spot position size, strictly control leverage on contracts, as volatility will be intense during the FOMC period.

#OKX预言家：来星球玩预测 Analysis of Subsequent U.S. Stock Market Trends Based on CPI Data
⚠️ Risk Warning: This analysis is only a macro-level logical deduction and does not constitute any investment advice. The U.S. stock market is influenced by multiple factors including geopolitical conflicts, corporate earnings, and liquidity flows; CPI is only one of the core variables.
1. Underlying Logic: How CPI Transmits to the U.S. Stock Market
CPI (Consumer Price Index) measures the inflation level in the U.S. and primarily affects the Federal Reserve's interest rate policy expectations. U.S. stock asset pricing uses a discounted cash flow model:
1. High inflation (CPI > expectations): The market believes the Fed will delay rate cuts or even resume rate hikes, causing U.S. Treasury yields to rise. The discount rate for future earnings increases, leading to the largest declines in high-valuation growth stocks (Nasdaq tech, AI chips); value stocks are relatively more resilient.
2. Inflation decline (CPI < expectations): Rate cut expectations rise, U.S. Treasury yields fall, discount rates decrease, growth stock valuations recover, with Nasdaq showing the strongest rebound.
3. CPI meets expectations: The market prices this in advance, U.S. stocks are likely to fluctuate, and the main market focus returns to corporate earnings reports and employment data.
Key point: The market pays more attention to core CPI (excluding food and energy). Housing and service subcomponents are key indicators for judging inflation stickiness. Overall CPI is easily disturbed by short-term oil price fluctuations and is less reliable than core CPI.
2. Scenario-Based Deduction of Subsequent U.S. Stock Market Trends
Scenario 1: Core CPI higher than expected (inflation stickiness exceeds expectations)
- Signal: Core CPI month-on-month > 0.3%, year-on-year rebounds, housing and service prices continue to rise One AI earnings night, two very different verdicts from the market. Oracle delivered the kind of numbers AI investors want to see. Revenue jumped 30% to $19.3B, while cloud infrastructure revenue surged 62% to $11.6B. Its remaining performance obligations reached a massive $664B, beating expectations and showing how aggressively AI infrastructure demand is translating into future contracts. The market liked it: Oracle shares jumped roughly 7% after hours. But the spending behind that growth is g#BTC现货ETF大额流入后转负
Everyone is now asking if they should liquidate after the continuous outflows of the ETF???
From August 25 to 27, the US Bitcoin spot ETF had a cumulative net inflow of $730 million. Including August 22 and 23, the weekly net inflow was $690 million, marking the second consecutive week of net inflows, with Fidelity's FBTC contributing about 60%. However, on August 28, it turned to a net outflow of $31.2 million, mainly dragged down by redemptions in GBTC and ARKB, while IBIT and BTCO were still seeing inflows. The funds are not withdrawing across the board.
What’s more noteworthy is that during the ETF’s continuous capital inflow, BTC still fell below $81,000. The new buying pressure was offset by miner sell-offs, options shorting, and macro hedging sentiment. The $31.2 million outflow is much smaller than previous inflows and is not enough to confirm a directional reversal. But non-farm payrolls, US Treasury yields, and the pace of rate cuts are testing institutional patience.
Is this shift to negative a normal daily fluctuation or a sign of weakening momentum from earlier inflows? My judgment is that a single day’s outflow should not be taken as a signal; we need to look at continuity and the flow direction of IBIT. As long as IBIT is still flowing in, the institutional allocation logic remains intact. But since macro pressure hasn’t been fully digested, don’t heavily bet on direction before the data releases.
$BTC $ETH $ZEC #财报观察员：甲骨文与Adobe今晚交卷 #PPI、CPI接连公布，美联储迎关键两日 Before the midterm elections, the White House has motivation to use the SPR, diplomatic channels, and verbal interventions to cause oil prices to fall. Such declines are often quick and false, suitable for volatility trading but not as a trend reversal signal, unless the flow through the pass truly recovers. Today's core CPI at 0.1 / 0.2 / 0.3 and how it will reshape next week's FOMC. The framework is fixed: core 0.3% significantly strengthens rate hikes, 0.2% keeps it in a stalemate, 0.1% favors holding steady; a somewhat unflattering judgment: even if the core CPI looks "okay," as long as oil prices don't come down, the valuation recovery of US stocks will be very sluggish. 这轮牛市我越来越相信一句话：赚100万靠行情，守100万靠纪律。 币圈最残酷的一件事，不是踏空，也不是买错，而是盈利几十倍最后又坐回原点。每一轮牛市都会诞生无数“纸面富豪”，也会诞生无数“过山车受害者”。 很多人嘴上喊长期价值投资，账户翻了5倍舍不得卖；翻10倍觉得还能翻20倍；等市场开始下跌，又告诉自己只是回调。最后利润一点点蒸发，本金也被套住。 真正赚钱的人，往往在别人最疯狂的时候开始冷静。 牛市顶部不会提前通知你。新闻会越来越乐观，KOL会不断喊更高目标，社群里每天都是财富神话。越是一片看多，越要提高警惕，因为市场永远奖励少数人，而不是大多数人。 我的原则很简单： - 不预测最高点，只执行止盈计划。 - 涨到目标，卖一部分，把利润装进口袋。 - 留一部分继续吃行情，不赌最后一根大阳线。 很多人觉得提前卖飞最痛，其实真正痛的是赚过却没拿住。 这一轮牛市，我宁愿少赚最后20%，也不愿把已经赚到的钱全部还给市场。因为离场不是认输，而是兑现胜利。 记住一句话：牛市赚币，熊市赚命；止盈不是胆小，而是专业。 #BTC #ETH #SOL #SUI #OKB #牛市 #止盈 #欧意星球 @OKETH shorts really ate well this round 🥰
Still dawdling at 2 AM, set up take profit and stop loss, then went straight to sleep 💤
Yesterday, ETH buying pressure just couldn't hold, the previous high kept resisting, the price kept grinding down step by step, and the four-hour bearish structure gradually formed. Plus, the ECB's 25 basis point rate hike news triggered the price to drop to 2400 👊
Let me explain why I first took a small long: around 2400 is a short-term support, and when the news just came out, many people tend to FOMO chase shorts, so I opened a long at 2414, set stop loss at the previous low 2404, expecting about a 60-point rebound. Since 2480 above is a resistance level, I set take profit at 2471, and the final wick hit the take profit 👍
Now I opened a short again following the T trading strategy, holding on to see if there’s more profit to be made 💪
This is just my personal review record and does not constitute any investment advice.

#财报观察员：甲骨文与Adobe今晚交卷 #财报观察员: Oracle and Adobe report tonight
Oracle's revenue surged 30% year-over-year, cloud infrastructure continues to soar, and remaining performance obligations reached $664 billion, but Q1 capital expenditures directly hit $28.5 billion. Adobe's performance was also good, with AI-related ARR soaring 150% year-over-year, yet the market still didn't buy it and the stock fell after hours. The market no longer buys the "AI story." Having orders is not enough, having users is not enough; ultimately, it comes down to revenue, profit, and cash flow. This logic is actually the same as in the crypto world, where $BTC and $ETH are not about stories but real capital and fundamentals. In the end, a bull market can tell stories, but it must be paid for with real money. Whether AI spending to drive growth can continue will determine not only tech stock valuations but also directly affect the entire market's risk appetite. Going forward, whoever can deliver results will feast; those who only tell stories will eventually be exposed by the market.This morning the yellow label still said emergency fix, phased recovery, and the recommended flow easily stopped at "already fixed." I'm watching which stage the recovery has reached.
Cointelegraph 9/10: Liquid's block production is back, but the statement is a precautionary observation without transactions; peg-in/peg-out is still pending. Previously about 4000 BTC (about $320M) was withdrawn, about 3400 BTC (about $270M) has been returned, about 598 BTC is still outside.
This morning, reloading the liquid.network public interface: reserves about 3626.80 BTC, circulating L-BTC about 4229.33, coverage about 85.75%, the gap still about 602 BTC.
So this layer is not "the whole network is normal" — block production has stood up first, the redemption layer has not yet closed. #Liquid发布紧急修复，网络进入分阶段恢复 $BTC
