A day of widespread decline (227 down / 28 up, median -5.67%) with the most eye-catching being HBAR.
In 24h it rose from 0.0947 to 0.1132, +19%, with $71M in volume. Looking at the 4H chart, the 16:00 candle had a volume explosion to 48.7M, while the previous one was only 9.2M — a 5x increase. This is active buying, not a liquidity sweep.
The driver is the IBM partnership news landing, confirmed by both CoinMarketCap and Traders Union. Against BTC at -2.3% and SOL at -5%, money is looking for "alts with event catalysts" rather than continuing to dump the market.
0.115 was today's high. The 16:00 4H candle closed at 0.1118, failing to hold 0.115. If it stays above 0.11 in the next 12 hours, it indicates buying support; breaking below 0.095 would be a false breakout.
$HBAR, do you think this round will reach 0.12 or pull back to 0.10 to consolidate? #This week welcomes key Nonfarm and PCE data From the 1-hour K-line chart of UNI/USDT, the current price is in a downward channel, with short-term technicals bearish, but the medium to long-term fundamentals have reversal potential.
The current price is 8.866 USDT, with a 24-hour decline of 11.74%. The MACD indicator's DIF and DEA are both below the zero line and forming a bearish crossover downward, indicating strong bearish momentum. The lower Bollinger Band at 8.761 is close to the previous low; if broken, it may trigger further selling pressure. However, if this support holds and rebounds with volume, a technical recovery may be triggered.
In the next 3-6 months, UNI's price trend will depend on three core variables:
- Protocol revenue growth: The V4 Hooks mechanism has been activated. If the aggregator hook pools are fully deployed, annualized protocol revenue is expected to jump from the current $45 million to $120 million–$250 million, directly supporting token buyback and burn.
- Deflationary effect emerges: As of September 2026, over 106 million UNI have been burned, reducing total supply to 895 million. If the burn rate continues to exceed inflation (about 20 million per year), substantial deflationary pressure will form.
- Institutional capital entry: BlackRock's BUIDL fund and Fidelity's FIDD stablecoin have been deployed to Uniswap. If more traditional financial capital enters DeFi through tokenized assets, UNI, as a governance + value capture dual-attribute token, will gain premium support.Evening Review｜The market shows a stark contrast, one trade follows the trend to profit, another suffers against the trend
✅$HYPE
The major trend is upward, with whales holding strong long positions at the bottom, representing a trend-following market. The 20x full-position long is held steadily; although there was a pullback during the session, it does not change the overall direction, and the account continues to profit. This is the result of trading along with the capital flow.
❌$BICO
Continued decline in the evening, current price 0.02137, down 5.40% intraday. The 15-minute candlesticks show a bearish arrangement, with all moving averages suppressing the price, hitting a new stage low of 0.02126.
An 8x full-position long opened at 0.03495, currently at an unrealized loss of -1368.42U, with a return rate of -506.79%, and margin remaining only 4.19%.
Initially intended to bottom-fish for a rebound, but the longer it was held, the greater the loss. In a downtrend, the bottom is unpredictable; every small rebound is just a brief bull trap.
Two trades, two outcomes.
When following the trend, pullbacks are just shakeouts; against the trend, declines have no bottom.
Many people lose money not because they don’t understand candlesticks, but because they are hopeful, always thinking they can hold out until a reversal. The margin balance is already very risky; a quick spike down could trigger immediate liquidation.

#美伊继续磋商霍尔木兹开放条件 Data Week Preview: BTC and Risk Assets Face "Two Consecutive Tests"
This week's market focus is not on candlesticks but on the calendar. On September 30, we first look at the US August PCE, followed by the September Nonfarm Payrolls on October 2. Gold, US stocks, and crypto will all be repriced around these two data bombs.
PCE is the Fed's preferred inflation gauge. If the core reading remains hot, the "higher for longer" interest rate narrative will return, likely strengthening the dollar and US Treasury yields, putting pressure first on high-valuation, long-duration assets like $BTC, $ETH, and $QQQ; if inflation continues to cool, risk appetite may get a brief boost.
Nonfarm Payrolls are the second gatekeeper. With 162,000 new jobs added in August, September's data must answer: is employment cooling down or just slowing? Beyond new jobs, the unemployment rate and average hourly earnings are more critical. Rapid wage growth makes it hard for service inflation to fall quickly, and the Fed will find it difficult to pivot dovish.
What truly determines the direction is the combination of the two data points:
· High inflation + strong employment: maximum rate pressure, risk assets under stress;
· Falling inflation + weak employment: easing trades heat up, $BTC and others may see a rebound window.
If signals conflict, the market may continue to oscillate until clearer guidance emerges from the data. The direction for $BTC this week will most likely be chosen only after PCE and Nonfarm data are released. Gold may be tugged between rates and safe haven demand, while US stocks, especially tech, are most sensitive to rate expectations.
In short, don't rush to bet on direction. During data week, staying alive is more important than guessing right.

This week, US macro data continues to be released, with Tuesday's PCE index and Friday's non-farm payroll data both related to subsequent rate hike expectations.
On September 25, Bitcoin ETF net inflows were 134 million, and Ethereum ETF net inflows were 87 million.
Market Analysis
After Bitcoin failed to break above 85,000 over the weekend, it experienced a drop today. Since last week's peak at 87,000, there has been no significant rebound for a whole week, and the decline has clearly lagged behind the US stock indices. Today also saw a near one-week low. If it can rebound from the bottom today, there is still a chance for a subsequent rally. However, if the US stock market falls tonight and Bitcoin breaks below 82,000 this week, this second wave of gains may be declared a failure. Therefore, today's market action is quite important; this major top structure must not be completed. Bitcoin needs to hold above 84,000 to have a chance to continue the rally.
Altcoins showed independent movement over the weekend, with many strong coins hitting new highs, such as SUI, ARB, ENA, NEAR, ZEC, etc. These mainly belong to public chain privacy sectors and are mostly related to new SEC policies. However, these hot coins have all reached a peak indicator. Bitcoin's decline could pose significant liquidation risks for these altcoins. If you happen to hold these altcoins, it is best to take profits first and wait for Bitcoin to retest and confirm before making new plans.
Cryptocurrency Fear and Greed Index: 69 (Greed) Damn, Brother Maji lost big again and again! He lost 1.42 million dollars directly in 24 hours, and his nearly 7-day profit has been squeezed down to 1.62 million. An ordinary person winning the lottery once isn't even enough to cover his 24-hour loss.
Let's take a look at Brother's current hellish positions, it's like fire and ice:
$ETH long position of 92.62 million, entry price 2671, currently floating loss of 70,000, liquidation price at 2548. This is holding on hard; if it drops a little more, alarms will go off.
$BTC long position of 25.18 million, entry price 84112, floating loss of 50,000, liquidation price over 70,000. Opening a long at this level only shows this guy firmly believes in the bull market.
But the deadliest is still HYPE! Nearly 20 million in position, directly floating a loss of 650,000! Entry price 93, liquidation price 70.43. This is not far from the liquidation line. This isn't trading crypto, it's dancing on the edge of a cliff!
The news says he just reduced some of his BTC long position, probably worn down by this market, but Maji is still that stubborn diamond hand, refusing to admit defeat no matter what.This position group by Maji essentially bets about 119 million U all in one direction, fully leveraged perpetual longs. As a result, the three major assets weakened simultaneously, with a combined unrealized loss exceeding 1.6 million U.
$HYPE $PUMP $ETH
ETH is the biggest risk: 38,000 coins, 25x full position, average price 2568.94. If the price drops another 4%, liquidation may be triggered; meanwhile, 1.0632 million U in funding fees have been paid, continuously draining the margin.
HYPE is a continuous bleeding point: 200,000 coins, 10x full position, entry price 73.52. Unrealized loss of 723,800 U, plus 46,300 U in fees, with clear pressure under altcoin weakness.
PUMP is like a slow knife: 450 million coins, 10x full position. Liquidation price shows $0.00, seemingly safe, but unrealized loss is 117,500 U, margin only 220,000 U, so the buffer is not thick.
The key is not "whether to follow or not," but that this kind of full-position high leverage amplifies profits and losses to the extreme, with fees still increasing costs. Big players still have room to maneuver, but ordinary people copying this have very low fault tolerance. Position management is more important than direction judgment.#美伊继续磋商霍尔木兹开放条件
There has been an interesting change in the Middle East market these past couple of days.
Trump rejected Iran's 7-day proposal, but the negotiation window has not closed; both sides are expected to continue contact this week.
What is more noteworthy is that oil transportation through the Strait of Hormuz has already begun to resume.
Kpler estimates that about 7.4 million barrels per day of crude oil will be transported through Hormuz in September, and crude oil exports from major Middle Eastern oil-producing countries have also risen to the highest level since the conflict began.
So what the market is really concerned about now may no longer be "when the strait will reopen," but rather:
How much can be restored, and how quickly.
If transportation continues to increase, the tension on the supply side will gradually ease, and the geopolitical risk premium previously added to crude oil may continue to decline.
But if negotiations stall again, or the situation escalates, once transportation volume drops again, oil prices may quickly reprice the risk.
Whether there is substantive progress in US-Iran talks, and exactly how much oil can be transported out of Hormuz daily,
What is said verbally is one thing; how much oil can actually be transported out is another.
So these are the two things to pay closer attention to going forward.

Personal market observation, not investment advice$BZ $CL Folks, the market these days is really frustrating. A bunch of good news is right in front of us, but the market actually goes down, which is quite exhausting.
On the $BTC side, ETF funds are pouring in crazily, big players are still shouting to keep adding positions, and El Salvador is buying and buying. However, as soon as the geopolitical situation tightens, the market crashes directly, bulls get liquidated massively, and exchanges are withdrawing large amounts of coins, making everyone a bit anxious.
$ETH is even more interesting. Vitalik released future upgrade plans, ETF funds are also flowing in, but short positions have been pushed to a multi-year high. When good news comes out, some people use it as an excuse to dump the market. Now it’s stuck oscillating within a range.
As for $ZEC, the NU7 network upgrade is coming soon, and Grayscale has also submitted an ETF application. The potential looks quite big, but don’t forget there have been supply loopholes historically, and capital concentration is high. Before the good news materializes, be wary of people cashing out after the news.
Right now, news is flying everywhere. Don’t just dive in headfirst when you see good news. External situations are too volatile, and the market can turn on a dime. When trading, don’t just watch the news for excitement; be cautious, don’t overfill your positions, and securing profits is never a loss. #本周迎非农与PCE关键数据 #美伊继续磋商霍尔木兹开放条件 ZEC plunges from a high level, has the whale started selling?
Root cause of the decline: Whale's hedged position forced liquidation stampede
ZEC's core bullish whale Garrett Jin holds about 200,000 ZEC spot, valued at approximately $320 million; simultaneously opened 38,000 short contracts on Hyperliquid to hedge the spot long position.
To prevent margin exhaustion and trigger a chain liquidation, he was forced to close all hedged short positions, locking in a loss of about $25 million.
This move broke the original market balance between bulls and bears, and seeing the whale's forced liquidation triggered panic selling among following bulls, causing a rapid price drop.
✅ Bullish logic
1. The whale only closed the hedged short positions; the 200,000 ZEC spot large position was not transferred to exchanges for selling, so no large-scale distribution of chips occurred;
2. ZEC's narrative (zero-knowledge proof privacy infrastructure, continuous net inflows into spot ETFs) fundamentals have not been materially damaged;
3. This decline is mainly a leverage liquidation on the contract side, with limited spot selling pressure.
• Strong support: 1520–1553 range, this is the first observation zone for this retracement; holding here indicates a healthy shakeout;
• Breakdown signal: a valid break below 1520 requires reassessment and can no longer be considered a pullback opportunity;
• Resistance: first rebound hurdle at 1620, regaining 1695 is needed to restore the current uptrend.Catching meme coins, don't be the bag holder: 7 observation points from the perspective of the market maker
Want to catch meme coins like $PEPE and $WIF? First, think from the market maker's perspective: to harvest, they must find counterparties.
1. Contracts are the main battlefield; spot trading is just a smokescreen. Pump contracts to explode longs and shorts, spot trading coordinates the sell-off.
2. The longer the bottom consolidates, the more concentrated the chips. If it can't be smashed down, it can only be pulled up.
3. Large withdrawals to on-chain wallets in the past 1-2 months are ironclad evidence of market control.
4. Market cap should not exceed 100 million; small caps are easier to manipulate in a bear market.
5. No large unlocks in the next month; otherwise, retail investors will dump without mercy.
6. Chip concentration over 90% means the cost of pumping is low enough.
7. No new issuance in the past 30 days; otherwise, market control is unstable, and pumps will be dumped.
Not all points need to be met; the more that apply, the higher the success rate. Focus on open interest; a sudden surge is a start signal. Personal opinion, for reference only.
#OKX预言家：第二赛季即将收官 340,000 USD was just left on an API that wasn't revoked.
MEXC said they have completed the investigation, a special team is following up, and a plan has been provided.
The response was quite fast, and the attitude was fairly appropriate.
But from the opponent's perspective, the issue isn't about compensation.
It's that even after helping the user recover the account, the attacker's API permissions were still active.
It's like changing the door lock but the spare key is still in someone else's pocket.
It's no surprise the money was lost.
For retail investors, the real takeaway is this: recovering the account is only the first step; permissions, authorizations, and APIs all need to be reviewed again.
It's good that the platform provided a plan.
But next time, can we avoid waiting until the money is gone before forming a team?

#OKX预言家：第二赛季即将收官 $HYPE Although China and the US have just concluded their meeting, if you think that means everything is fine between them, that's still too naive. To put it bluntly, cooperation now comes with confrontation, and confrontation still requires cooperation. Both sides have their strengths on the table; neither can truly break ties, as face must be maintained; more realistically, there are things neither can do without the other.
Once you understand this layer, then look at AI hardware, and you'll find a very important direction: those manufacturers critical to US national security and strategic competition. For example, $NVDA $INTC $AVGO.
On the surface, these companies are AI hardware providers, but looking deeper, it's no longer just a business issue.
One is the "computing power engine" of US AI competitiveness.

#财报观察员：美光财报临近，AI存储需求成焦点 #ThisWeekWelcomesNonFarmAndPCEKeyData
This week, I think we can't just focus on the $BTC candlestick chart anymore. What could really cause volatility is the combination of US employment and inflation data this round.
On September 30, the US will release August PCE data, along with personal income and spending data; on October 2, the September nonfarm payroll report will be released.
Why are these two data points so important?
Because the market is really struggling with whether the Federal Reserve will continue tightening.
If PCE remains high and nonfarm employment is strong, the market might reprice the logic of "interest rates staying high or even tightening further." Once US Treasury yields and the dollar rise, pressure on risk assets like $BTC will naturally increase.
Conversely, if inflation cools and employment weakens significantly, expectations for a policy shift might rise, giving risk assets some breathing room.
But I think the most likely play this time is "data comes out, prices rise first, then reverse."
So these days, I won't simply bet on the data direction; I'll pay more attention to how the dollar, US Treasury yields, and $BTC move after the data release.
Data is just the fuse; what really determines the market is how it interprets it.
This week, do you think the market fears high inflation more, or a sudden cooling in employment? Let's discuss in the comments.Liquidation Map: Downside Risks Still Outweigh Upside Opportunities
Direction Trigger Level Liquidation Intensity
Downside Longs Break below 80,516 $1.047 billion
Upside Shorts Break above 88,520 $985 million
The liquidation intensity of downside longs remains slightly higher than that of upside shorts, but the gap has significantly narrowed compared to before. In the past 24 hours, the entire network saw liquidations totaling $192 million, with long and short liquidations nearly balanced (longs $96.38 million vs shorts $95.66 million), indicating that both bulls and bears are under pressure rather than a one-sided stampede.
$BTC $ETH $ZEC #ZEC再创本轮新高，逼近1700美元 I am the mid-term intelligence analyst, today focusing closely on ETH's community hotspots and challenges, with intense bullish and bearish battles.
Positive factors: Vitalik envisions the 2030 "crypto world computer," speeding up block production to 4-8 seconds; spot ETH ETF net inflow of 690 million in one week, total assets surpassing 108.4 billion; ARK tokenizes a 1.3 billion venture capital fund, AI agent neutral channel expected, L2 indicators rising comprehensively, fundamentals are hot.
Challenges: Over three years, whales transferred 112,000 $ETH (about 300 million USD) to Bitfinex, profiting 72.83 million; forged bridge vulnerability led to theft of 766 coins; hacker wallets hold 68,000 coins causing selling pressure. Options IV at 51.4 far exceeds $BTC, daily net outflow about 700,000 USD.
My view: Fundamentals are strong, but chip selling pressure is real. ETH short-term volatility will be greater than BTC, avoid chasing highs or panic selling. The key is whether ETF inflows can continue and if whales keep transferring to exchanges. During this tug of war, hold small positions and wait for confirmation. $ETH is my personal record, not investment advice. #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 In August 2026, a participant in the LAB token public sale who invested $5,000 in October 2025 saw their holdings soar to about $5.6 million at one point, equivalent to a 1120x return. However, due to the project team unilaterally postponing the token unlock schedule, this investor only recently received the unlocked tokens—which are currently worth just $3,219, a 99.94% drop from the peak. This is not an isolated case. It is a microcosm of the VC coin ecosystem from 2025 to 2026. 1. FDV Illusion: A Carefully Designed "Information Asymmetry" The most mainstream token issuance model from 2025 to 2026 can be summarized with two keywords: Low Float and High FDV (Fully Diluted Valuation). The operational logic of this model is extremely sophisticated. At the seed round, VC funds buy tokens at $0.01 each, with the project valuation at about $10 million. At the Token Generation Event (TGE) stage, the project lists on major exchanges like Binance and OKX, with the price set at $1.00, but only 2% to 5% of the total tokens are actually released into circulation. Because there are very few tokens available for trading in the order book, market makers can easily push the price up to $2.00. Retail investors see a "small coin with a market cap of only $50 million to $100 million" and think they have found a "100x potential asset," unaware that the project's fully diluted valuation has already reached $20 billion—exceeding the market cap of many S&P 500 constituents.

Key Conclusion: BTC's recent drop below 83,000 perfectly confirms the logic of "macro high interest rates suppressing risk assets" and "pre-market risk-off sentiment in US stocks." The high 10-year US Treasury yield and weakness in US stock index futures were the final straws that broke the bulls' backs. Under the baseline scenario, the market will fluctuate widely between 82,500 and 83,500 to digest the macro bearish factors.
Macro Correlation and Scenario Simulation:
From a global macro perspective, BTC's current 1-hour level sharp decline is essentially a brutal liquidation of the "local bubble in the crypto market" caused by "macro liquidity tightening." The 10-year US Treasury yield hovering around 5.11% drives the opportunity cost of the non-yielding asset BTC to an extreme. When US stock index futures weaken pre-market, the crypto market, as the most liquidity-sensitive "canary," reacts first with a sharp drop. Previously, in the analysis at 84,844.1, we clearly warned: "In a macro high interest rate environment, it is recommended to keep total positions below 5% with strict stop-loss." Now, this risk has fully erupted.
Comprehensive Scenario Simulation:
1. Optimistic Scenario (30% probability): Oversold V-shaped reversal. If the Nasdaq strongly rebounds after the US market opens and Treasury yields fall, risk appetite will recover. BTC will form a double bottom near 82,561.3 and, relying on the KDJ's extreme oversold golden cross, launch a violent rebound to retest 83,550 (VWAP) and 83,900 (Bollinger middle band).
2. Baseline Scenario (50% probability): Low-level consolidation and indicator recovery. Macro data is in a vacuum period, with bulls and bears reaching a weak balance between 82,500 and 83,200. BTC will continue to digest the extreme oversold KDJ and weak RSI by exchanging time for space, with volume maintaining a moderate level of 2.5k-3.5k BTC, awaiting new macro catalysts.
3. Pessimistic Scenario (20% probability): Macro black swan or chain liquidation. If Treasury yields further surge above 5.2%, or a geopolitical black swan event occurs, it will trigger a broad sell-off of risk assets. BTC will break the 82,561.3 support and quickly test the macro psychological levels of 81,000 or even 80,000. Breaking below 80,000 will confirm a complete mid-term bearish trend.
Trading Desk Operation Plan (Not Investment Advice):
During this extreme oversold and bearish trend battle period, a "defensive counterattack" strategy is recommended. Aggressive traders may lightly buy near 82,600-82,700 with stop-loss below 82,500, targeting 83,200-83,500. Conservative traders should wait for a clear golden cross of KDJ below 20 and price volume to stabilize above VWAP (83,550.9) before entering long positions. Total position size is recommended to be controlled below 5% with strict stop-loss. The market is always right; forecasts are just plans, and response is key.
Risks and Disclaimer: This content is for macro research only and does not constitute any investment advice. The crypto market is influenced by macro liquidity, regulatory policies, and on-chain whale behavior, with extremely volatile 1-hour level fluctuations. Actual trends may significantly deviate from predictions. The market carries risks; decisions require independent judgment.$BTC Volume, VWAP, and Institutional Capital Flow Analysis
Key Conclusion: Volume expanded to 243.43M USDT, accompanied by a large bearish candle, confirming the nature of a "volume-driven decline." This suggests that institutional funds engaged in panic selling or passive stop-loss during the breakdown. VWAP (83,550.9) remains high, with intraday capital losses across the board.
Volume and Capital Depth Deduction:
Volume is the core evidence revealing the truth behind the breakdown. From the VOL (USDT) histogram at the bottom of the screenshot, it is evident that during the decline at 16:00 on September 28, there was a very significant red volume bar. The current 1-hour trading amount is 243.43M USDT (equivalent to 2.9k BTC). In a downtrend, this sustained mild volume increase with a bearish drift is the most damaging, representing institutional funds orderly and continuously withdrawing rather than retail panic selling.
Considering VWAP14 (83,550.9), the current price of 82,863.9 is far below VWAP, meaning almost all active buy orders during the day are at a loss. VWAP has become an extremely heavy "resistance line," and any rebound failing to break through VWAP with volume will be an invalid rebound. Looking at the Basis (spread) reported at 83,788.5, close to VWAP, it indicates a clear discount structure in the perpetual contract market, with market sentiment leaning bearish and shorts beginning to dominate pricing power.
The microstructure of capital flow shows that a large amount of long positions accumulated in the 83,000-85,000 range triggered a chain liquidation after breaking the 83,000 support. AVL (82,723.8) is slightly below the current price, indicating the short-term average price line is attempting to provide support, but its strength is questionable. The current capital conclusion is: this is a "deleveraging" process triggered jointly by macro liquidity tightening and key technical breakdown. Until there is an extreme "panic volume spike" or a "volume-driven bullish candle" reclaiming VWAP, the capital side does not support a trend reversal. Traders should closely monitor volume changes near 82,561.3; if volume contracts on a pullback without breaking this level, a short-term bottom can be expected. $BTC Momentum Indicator Divergence Signal and Bull-Bear Energy Consumption
Key Conclusion: Both KDJ and RSI indicators have plunged into the "freezing zone." KDJ (K:15.4, D:15.2) is extremely oversold, with the K line slightly crossing above the D line forming a golden cross; RSI6 (17.91) has fallen below the 20 oversold line, and RSI12 (26.15) is approaching 30. Under the baseline scenario, the momentum indicators issue an extremely strong "oversold rebound" warning, with bearish momentum nearly exhausted and a short squeeze potentially imminent.
In-depth Analysis of Momentum Indicators:
A deep dive into the momentum indicators below the chart reveals an "extreme oversold" signal that sharply contrasts with the price plunge. First, the KDJ stochastic indicator currently shows K at 15.4 and D at 15.2. Both K and D lines have fallen below 20 into the extreme oversold zone, and the K line is slightly above the D line, forming a classic "oversold golden cross" prototype. On the 1-hour timeframe, KDJ dropping near 15 is extremely rare, usually indicating that bearish forces have been severely overextended in a short period, and the market has entered the late stage of "irrational panic." Once the K line clearly crosses above the D line, a strong buy signal will be generated.
Next, looking at the RSI relative strength index: RSI6 is at 17.91, RSI12 at 26.15, and RSI24 at 34.59. This is a very standard "bearish alignment" and extremely oversold structure. RSI6 has broken below 20, entering the traditionally defined extreme oversold zone. The gap between RSI6 and RSI24 has widened, indicating concentrated short-term selling pressure release. From a divergence perspective, if the price subsequently makes a new low (e.g., breaks below 82,500), but RSI6 refuses to make a new low and starts to turn upward, a classic "bullish divergence" structure will form, providing a very strong reason for bulls to counterattack.
The current momentum indicators suggest: at this position, the risk-reward ratio for shorting is very poor, while the speculative value for going long is becoming apparent. Rational traders should not continue panic selling when KDJ is below 20 and RSI6 is below 20. Instead, more attention should be paid to candlestick patterns; if "long lower shadows," "engulfing patterns," or other reversal signals appear, one can lightly try going long to speculate on an oversold rebound. However, it must be remembered that in a bearish trend, oversold conditions can become even more oversold, so strict stop-loss settings are essential.On-chain data update: a major whale's position is once again at a point that requires close monitoring.
Currently, their account exposure is 87 million U, all fully leveraged perpetual long positions, with three positions in differentiated situations:
$ETH 20,000 coins, 20x leverage, the only position with unrealized profit, but the liquidation price is very close to the entry price, and funding fees continuously erode profits. The safety buffer is extremely thin; even a slight pullback turns unrealized gains into losses.
$BTC 150 coins, 30x leverage, unrealized losses are expanding. Such high leverage struggles to withstand deep drawdowns, and any price weakness pushes it close to the liquidation threshold.
$SOL 100,000 coins, 8x leverage, accumulating unrealized losses. When altcoin sentiment cools, volatility is severe, and corrections hit much harder than mainstream coins.
My judgment: the bullish direction is fine, but fully leveraged high-leverage positions are a double-edged sword. Profits amplify with the trend, but a large bearish candle in the opposite direction leaves almost no buffer, leading to immediate forced liquidation.

#财报观察员：美光财报临近，AI存储需求成焦点 AI trading can recover after a pullback, this is what JPMorgan said
JPMorgan's reason is improved positions and more attractive valuations.
What exactly are they talking about:
They are referring to semiconductor stocks, not crypto.
JPMorgan believes profits are still there, and there is evidence of AI commercialization.
How is this number calculated:
More attractive valuations are deduced after the price drop.
It's not that companies are earning more, but that prices fell first.
Project teams seeing this kind of statement are most likely to treat it as a financing window.
Semiconductor stocks move first, then crypto funds might follow.
If this order is reversed, the rhythm will be off.

#高盛预估2027年AI相关资本开支约1.2万亿美元 #闪迪获Rosenblatt买入评级，目标价2400美元 $ETH Woke up to losing money, feeling numb. Do bears never admit defeat? I thought so yesterday too. $SOON surged from 0.18 to 0.3, topping the gainers list. I shorted at 0.3, exited at 0.2, made a profit once, then shorted again. It hit 0.31, I T-ed a few times, then it dropped to 0.27 by evening, with an unrealized profit of 10U that I didn’t take. Woke up to 0.33, peaked at 0.35, ended up losing 8U. My old short positions were still losing, so I opened new shorts, determined to fight the pumpers to the end.
But looking calmly, this isn’t a battle, it’s being reckless. Altcoin pumps don’t follow logic; shorting it is betting on sentiment peaking. Not taking profits and adding to losing positions is a big no-no in short-term trading. $SOON’s kind of movement punishes the stubborn. Bears can wait, but can’t hold on blindly. Either cut losses or wait for a high spike exhaustion and volume stagnation before shorting again. Don’t let 8U turn into 80U. The market isn’t short on opportunities, it’s short on survival. $SOON is a personal record, not advice. #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 [Old Leek Observation] Looking ahead to the future direction — US stock assets are truly starting to integrate into DeFi
$AAVE did something pretty big today.
Aave V4 launched the Equities Hub on Base.
Now, eligible non-US users can use tokenized Apple, Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Tesla as collateral to borrow USDC.
Simply put, previously on-chain you could use BTC or ETH as collateral to borrow money, and now even US stocks are moving in this direction.
Currently, the first batch includes only 7 stocks, with a total collateral cap of about $29 million and a USDC supply cap of $32 million.
The scale is still small, but this development itself is quite important.
Because once stocks become on-chain assets, they are no longer just "buy and hold."
They can enter DeFi financial systems like lending, leverage, and liquidation.
Moreover, this time it’s not some small project issuing a few "stock tokens" to hype the concept; behind it are Coinbase’s tokenized stocks and Chainlink’s price data.
US stock assets are truly starting to integrate into DeFi. If this line continues to expand, the impact will not be limited to AAVE.
RWA, stablecoins, and lending protocols will all be affected by this development.$ETH's "geopolitical + interest rate disturbances, but ETF funds buying the dip against the trend" correction is precisely a good window to position for the bull market. I categorize optimism into two tiers based on "certainty + flexibility," buying the dip in batches and avoiding chasing highs.
Tier 1 · Main offensive forces (high flexibility, with catalysts):
- SOL: ETF daily inflow breaks record + technical golden cross, target $150, large room from previous high.
- ARB: King of L2 + RWA leader on-chain (7,000 tokenized assets), +162% in 30 days but valuation recovery just started.
- NEAR: Purest AI narrative, spot ETF already launched, chain abstraction positioning, dip is an opportunity.
- ZEC: Privacy leader + Grayscale ETF, cup-and-handle pattern measuring $1,800-2,100, long-term $5,000.
Tier 2 · High odds small positions (high volatility, control position size):
- PONS: Daily revenue in millions of dollars, 80% income used for buyback and burn, nearly 30% total supply burned, gas negative news landing could become a golden pit.
- XRP: Inverse head and shoulders bottom, breaking $1.60 targets $2.
Allocation advice: BTC/ETH make up 50% for a stable base, SOL/ARB/NEAR/ZEC take 40% to play flexibility, PONS/XRP small positions to chase high odds. This Wednesday's PCE and Friday's Nonfarm Payrolls are key validation points; if data doesn't exceed expectations, the negative impact will be fully priced in. This afternoon's market: BTC has been steadily declining from above 85,000 since the morning, and in the afternoon it directly broke below 83,000, hitting a low of 82,773. The 24-hour drop is close to 2%, with nearly 70,000 liquidations across the market. Ethereum also fell to around 2,650, and altcoins dropped even more, with DOGE, SOL, and XRP generally down about 4%.
The reasons for the drop are not complicated; three factors combined:
First, geopolitical tensions flared up again. WTI crude oil surged above $93, and Brent also rose over 1%. When oil prices rise, inflation expectations follow, and risk assets are the first to take a hit.
Second, U.S. Treasury yields are suffocating. The 10-year Treasury yield has risen to 5.20%, the highest since 2007. This is the most direct drain.
Third, ETF buying is cooling off. There were indeed strong net inflows for several consecutive days before, but today it clearly slowed down. There is too much profit-taking and trapped positions piled up above the 85,000-86,000 range.
Key levels: The first support below is 82,200-82,500, which was repeatedly tested this afternoon; if it doesn't hold, the next defense line is near 81,200, where the 50% Fibonacci retracement and the Ichimoku cloud bottom coincide. Further down, 78,500 is the 200-day moving average, a watershed for the mid-term structure.
In terms of trading, in this kind of one-sided decline, the biggest taboo is to catch a falling knife midway. Wait for stabilization signals before making a move; don't try to guess the bottom during a downtrend.
$BTC $ETH Chasing highs to the very end boils down to two words: fear of missing out. The profits painstakingly accumulated in the last wave can be wiped out in a moment. The market is a game; everyone is in it. Winning once doesn't mean winning all the time. What goes up must come down; wins and losses alternate as the norm. If you hold on too long, sooner or later you'll have to give up your chips. You have to stop when it's time. Opportunities are never lacking; what’s lacking is patience. When $BTC, $ETH, or $ZEC sharply rally or crash one-sidedly, if you’re not on board, at least you don’t lose money. A safer approach is: when the market has already moved about 20,000 U in a short time, no matter how optimistic you are, don’t chase hard. After a big rise, a pullback is inevitable; after a big drop, a rebound is certain. Don’t always try to catch the top or bottom; don’t rush. After a one-sided move of about 20,000 U, pause on chasing longs or shorts. Learn to wait, learn to give up. Don’t expect to profit from every fluctuation, or stop-losses and liquidations will repeatedly teach you a lesson. Think about which trades are most likely to blow up? Those opened at the tail end of extreme moves. When the trend reverses, the first to get taken out is you. Shorting against the trend at the bottom area? The first to blow up when it rallies is you. Hard buying during a one-sided drop or hard shorting at the top during a one-sided rise? You’ll be taught a lesson in no time. To judge where the pullback or rebound will stop, watch the liquidation points of longs at the previous peak or shorts at the rebound lows during a downtrend. If you don’t know the exact points, estimate using 100x, 20x, 10x, 5x leverage. For example, at the recent high of 87,300, with 100x leverage from 87,000 down, 1%, 5%, 10%, and 20% correspond roughly to 86,100, 82,800, 78,600, and 69,800 respectively $BTC price action and microtrend structure in-depth analysis
Key conclusion: BTC is currently quoted at 82,863.9, down -1.84%, in a classic "accelerated bottom chasing" phase. After falling from the high of 84,844.1, the price has shown an unresisted one-way decline, reaching a low of 82,561.3. The current candlestick closed near 82,561.3 with a long lower shadow, indicating a short-term stop in the decline signal. Under the baseline scenario, the market is entering a recovery period after extreme panic, with short-term rebound demand, but the resistance at 83,500 (VWAP) has become a formidable barrier.
Price action and structure analysis:
From the 1-hour candlestick chart timeline, at 16:00 on September 28, there was an extremely brutal trend-breaking large bearish candle. This candle smashed through the 84,000 and 83,000 integer levels with overwhelming force, hitting a low of 82,561.3, pushing the market into the abyss. This "waterfall decline" is known in trading desk terminology as a "long liquidation stampede." The main funds exploited the panic triggered by breaking the previous low (83,173.6), triggering massive long stop-loss orders and leveraged liquidations, completing a ruthless chip turnover at the low. The current candlestick closed at 82,863.9 with a very long lower shadow, indicating aggressive bottom-fishing funds entered below 82,561.3 to support the price.
The current price of 82,863.9 is in an extremely dangerous "downward channel." Looking up, 83,000 (psychological level) and 83,550.9 (VWAP) form an immediate resistance network. Looking down, 82,561.3 (intraday low) and 82,554.3 (lower Bollinger Band) form a life-or-death defense line. From the perspective of price action, such a long lower shadow after a breakdown often means short-term selling pressure exhaustion. If the subsequent rebound can hold above 83,000, a "double bottom" structure may form; if the rebound is weak, it is likely a downward continuation, with the price continuing to seek macro support in the 81,000-82,000 range. Traders should remain absolutely calm; this is a critical point for shorts to close positions and take profits, and for longs to wait for right-side confirmation. Avoid blind capitulation in extreme panic, and do not heavily bottom-fish before the trend reverses. The surge in September was really impressive. ETH shot up from 2388 to 2804, rising 14% in seven days. The spot ETF attracted 413.8 million in two days, and BitMine increased its holdings by 12,500 coins. I have been watching the technicals. EMA50 support is at 2668, EMA200 at 2490, and the price is clearly still above the moving averages, so the trend is intact. The stochastic %K surged above 90, and RSI is approaching 71, which is textbook overbought. Traders call this a “bearish divergence.” Coinglass data clearly shows: ETH broke below 2576, triggering a total long liquidation of 1.154 billion; breaking above 2822 triggered short liquidations of 691 million. Those two numbers are right there: retail longs account for 72.9%, and the taker buy/sell ratio is only 0.74—active sell orders are overwhelming active buy orders. On September 16, the Federal Reserve raised rates to 3.75%-4%, passing 12-0, the first time since 2023. BlackRock’s ETHA saw a single-day outflow of 110 million USD, the largest redemption that day. The transmission chain is simple: risk-free rates rise, increasing the opportunity cost of non-yielding assets, and marginal institutional funds withdraw first. The 2563 line broke. A 692 million long liquidation was triggered, and my liquidation line is just below that. After the liquidation, I checked the data and found that Wintermute transferred 160 million USD worth of ETH on September 11, the day the golden cross formed. Support, resistance, divergence, crowding, macro shift—every signal is right in front of me.Today BTC looks more like a digestion phase after a rapid early rise. The highest point surged above 87,000, then retreated to around 83,000. Pressure comes from the US dollar, relatively strong US Treasury yields, and profit-taking; the market is sensitive to the Federal Reserve's interest rate path, causing increased volatility in risk assets.
Technically, short-term is weak: the 5/10/20/50-day moving averages are all above the price, MACD is negative, RSI has dropped to around 33, bears are in control. But RSI is close to oversold, so the cost-effectiveness of shorting is decreasing.
My view: do not chase shorts, nor rush to bottom-fish. 83,000 is key; if it breaks, look at 82,000 and 80,000; on the upside, first watch 84,000-85,000, and only when volume increases and price stands back above the moving averages can the digestion be considered over. Ant positions are split, no holding single large positions, altcoins continue to wait. $BTC personal record, not investment advice. #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 Green Mao's moves today are quite interesting and worth reviewing.

I had already planned to stay away from this coin, but the recent hype and aggressive promotion caught my attention. If $CORE wants to ride the same narrative as $DOGE, then I’m watching the relative performance very closely. 📉 OLD COMPARISON DOGE: ~$0.075 CORE: ~$6.4 📊 CURRENT ZONE DOGE: ~$0.091 CORE: ~$0.013 The divergence is massive, and $CORE has suffered an extreme repricing fCORE: Roadshows around the world, implementation is always on the way
Many experienced traders on overseas X platforms recently discussed CORE, revealing the illusions many have.
They said:
What you see is the CORE team flying to the US to negotiate banking business, standing at KBW Korea Blockchain Week, a screen full of grand BTC-Fi narratives, SatPay, native BTC staking — it sounds like the ultimate story of the Bitcoin ecosystem.
But beneath the surface, overseas bearish KOLs only recognize one thing: all negotiations are intentions, all products are still in testing, and all cash flow exists only in PPTs and Twitter posts.
Many convince themselves with the uniqueness of the track: this is the only financial layer for BTC, with no competitors in the field.
The overseas bloggers’ sharp retort: no matter how grand the narrative, if it cannot be converted into real on-chain revenue, it will always be just a story.
Roadshows, bank visits, offline exhibitions are essentially business PR.
Meetings ≠ signing contracts, beta testing ≠ official launch, roadmap promises ≠ stable cash flow.
The overseas community repeatedly mentions a hidden risk: the selling pressure from continuous token unlocking, which always hangs over the market.
No matter how attractive the BTC-Fi story is, the continuous unlocking of tokens will keep diluting the buying power.
Many long-term believers’ logic: wait for institutional funds to enter, wait for bank cooperation to materialize, then the market will explode.
Institutions look at projects, and the first thing they check is not the narrative but verifiable real income, stable product data, and compliant qualifications that can be implemented. $CORE Here is a revised version that resembles a mid-term intelligence report + news flash + data-driven logic, preserving the original meaning but expressed differently:
BTC Mid-Term Intelligence Rewrite
【Mid-Term Intelligence | 9.28】
🚨 $BTC has surpassed the May phase high, with the technical structure still leaning strong, but one detail deserves caution: the price is less than 1% away from the previous high, yet it has not yet expanded further.
Historically, after BTC effectively broke above the 50-week moving average, it often experienced a significant expansion of about 20%–30% within the following 1–2 weeks; however, this rally’s follow-up gains have been relatively restrained, and market disagreement about sustained momentum is intensifying.
📊 The market is currently focused on two main factors: first, the potential volatility pressure from seasonal effects; second, the ongoing rise in long-term U.S. Treasury yields, which may impose valuation constraints on risk assets.
Previously, I was cautious about Q4’s outlook, but BTC’s recent sustained strength has prompted me to reassess that view.
Therefore, moving forward, mid-term analysis will minimize subjective assumptions and rely more on what the market actually reveals:
Can $BTC break out with volume and open new space? Can $ETH follow through to confirm market breadth? Will $ZEC’s high volatility trend continue?
Surpassing the previous high is only the first step; what truly matters is the volume-price behavior and capital absorption after the breakout.
Is it accumulating strength at the top, or entering a turning point?
📌 Mid-term focus remains on: price + trading volume + open interest + ETF capital flows.

$BTC $ETH #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 A weak rebound is the real warning
Liquidity is recovering, but Bitcoin is weakening—after falling back from 87,000, it hasn't had a single decent rebound, which is more concerning than a big drop. The real risk is not the fall, but the failure to rebound when it should.
A few days ago, when prices were rising, the idea of deleveraging came up but wasn't fully implemented. To be frank, it was greed at play: always wanting to buy at the lowest and sell at the highest is an unrealistic obsession.
Bitcoin has always been priced by multiple factors: liquidity, sovereign credit, SEC, leverage, ETF funds, Trump’s positive news, sentiment... each phase has different weightings, and only by analyzing the strength of correlations among these factors can we infer the dominant ones. Currently, with rising expectations of rate hikes and gold weakening throughout the Mid-Autumn Festival, Bitcoin still had a small rebound at 84,000—liquidity and credit can't explain this; leverage and funds are the contributors from 70,000 to over 80,000, so the dominant factors must be SEC positive news and sentiment driving it. The odds of a rise driven by these two are naturally worsening.
Next, let's see if it can stabilize and produce a strong rebound. If it can rebound, the market is still alive; if not, it's a signal to exit. The deleveraging plan must be executed this time; discipline is always more valuable than predictions.
#本周迎非农与PCE关键数据 📊 Monday afternoon: The last trading day before Nonfarm Payrolls, how are BTC and altcoins choosing their direction?
#本周迎非农与PCE关键数据
Before the Nonfarm Payrolls data comes out on Wednesday, BTC has been sideways around 84200 for three days, while altcoins each have their own moves. Let me break it down.
$BTC near 84200, volatility compressed to the extreme. #BTC现货ETF周流入创近一年新高 indicates institutions have been buying continuously, but the 85000 level faces heavy short-term selling pressure. If Nonfarm data is good and rate hike expectations rise, BTC might retest 83000; if data is poor and rate cut expectations emerge, it could break above 85000 directly. Now it's just waiting for the data to choose direction, don't bet early.
$ENA near 0.25, after a 20% rally in the past two days, it is consolidating today. #特朗普政府拟推海外稳定币计划 Policy catalysts continue, and volume expansion is not self-driven. The 0.25 psychological level is repeatedly tested; a volume-supported hold opens space; failure to hold and a pullback to 0.22 is normal, so don't chase highs short term.
$SOL near 120, the strongest among the three today, after a 3% rise yesterday it held above 120. Solana ecosystem's NFT and DeFi transactions are returning, on-chain activity is recovering. Spot ETF funds keep flowing in, real money is buying. Holding 120 sets the next target at 128. BTC is still consolidating but SOL has already started an independent rally.
#财报观察员：美光财报临近，AI存储需求成焦点 Today's tech stock pullback is the result of combined effects from overseas interest rate pressure + AI narrative disruption + supply chain policy concerns + pre-holiday risk aversion by funds, not a single fundamental deterioration.
The Shanghai Composite Index fell 1.67%, the ChiNext Index dropped 4.53%, the STAR 50 declined 4.06%, with over 4,500 stocks down across the market. The turnover was about 1.72 trillion, representing a broad-based volume increase decline. Optical communications, CPO, semiconductors, and memory chips led the losses, with AI computing hardware heavyweights like ZJ Xuchuang and New Easysun sharply down.
There are three direct triggers. First, OpenAI announced a pause on training, evaluation, and related inference work for its latest generation model, causing market doubts about the AI computing demand rhythm and prompting a revaluation of the industry chain. Second, bipartisan US lawmakers proposed a bill to restrict Chinese optical modules from entering sensitive federal government systems. Although still at the proposal stage with limited impact scope, it triggered panic over the "politicization of the supply chain." Third, US Treasury yields continued to rise, with the 30-year surpassing 5.5% and the 10-year around 5.1%–5.2%, where high rates directly suppress high-valuation growth stocks.
Coupled with the approaching National Day holiday, some funds chose to reduce positions and avoid risks. AI hardware and semiconductor chips, which had risen significantly earlier, saw concentrated profit-taking that amplified the decline. Pre-market in the US, memory chips, optical communications, and large tech stocks also generally weakened, forming cross-market sentiment transmission.

There might be one more dip in the short term; the overall trend is still bullish, but timing is more important than direction. It currently looks like "first kill leverage, then pump the market." $ETH has about $32.12 million in whale long positions stacked between 2614-2632, with the densest liquidation line at 2613. Keep a close eye on 2630, then 2622 and 2614; if broken, 2550 might be tested. Futures open interest has dropped by about 500,000 contracts in the past four days, and leverage ratio has returned to March lows, which looks more like active deleveraging rather than a trend reversal. Wait for the liquidation to end and for $ETH to reclaim 2630 before adding longs more safely.
$ZEC has a market cap of about $26.4 billion, with support at 1550; if lost, look at 1450 and 1380, don't rush to catch the fall. Same for $BTC, if 82000 doesn't hold, look at 80000; altcoins are even harder.
Strategy: don't chase, don't double down, use small ant-sized positions in batches, wait for signals. Personal record, not investment advice. #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 ETH short positions cluster on Bitfinex, is a short squeeze coming?
ETH short positions on Bitfinex have rapidly expanded over the past two weeks: soaring from 771 ETH to over 100,000 ETH, an increase of about 130 times. Such concentrated bearish bets indicate that market sentiment has become extreme.
The logic is straightforward: if ETH prices rebound, shorts will face floating losses, forcing some to buy ETH to close their positions. A buying surge could trigger a "short squeeze," which in turn pushes prices higher. This is the bullish fuel many are hoping for.
However, crowded shorts do not guarantee a price rise. If prices drop first, shorts profit and the closing pressure reverses. When bulls and bears battle at this level, volatility usually intensifies, with spikes and sharp moves up and down possible.
Therefore, seeing a "surge in short positions" signals a potential short squeeze opportunity but should not be taken as a certainty. Manage position sizes, set stop losses, and avoid heavy bets on one-sided moves.

#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 #BTC现货ETF周流入创近一年新高 Ergou opened the market and saw that BTC was fluctuating around 83,000, ETH was fluctuating around 2,650, all falling. Meanwhile, oil prices slightly rose at this time.
The logic behind this oil price rally is very clear. Trump rejected Iran's "7-day plan," and Middle East negotiations have once again stalled. Brent crude oil has climbed back above $106 per barrel, and WTI is back above $93. The market is worried that oil transportation through the Strait of Hormuz will be obstructed again, and geopolitical risk premiums are being factored back into oil prices.
But what Ergou noticed is a more painful detail: on one hand, Trump is shouting "reject the deal," but on the weekend, oil shipments through Hormuz hit the highest record since the conflict began—over 22 million barrels. Saying no with words, but the body is honest.
What does the slight rise in oil prices mean for the crypto world? Inflation expectations are not easing, and the probability of a Fed rate hike in October has risen to nearly 66%. U.S. Treasury yields remain high, and funds are flowing into the dollar and U.S. bonds, so risk assets like BTC and ETH can only take a hit.
Ergou is now completely out of the market, holding 0 U. Having the account at zero is nothing to fear anymore. No chasing highs, no bottom fishing, no catching falling knives. Waiting for PCE and non-farm payroll data to land, to see which way this macro storm will blow. Once the market gives a clear signal, then consider whether to re-enter.

$MUBARAK price is relatively strong, with balanced active transactions: in three sets of 5-minute statistics, buyers account for 54.5% and sellers 45.5%; the main 15-minute K-line rose by 10.13%; open interest increased by 5.31%, with open interest value changing by +23.60%, indicating a real expansion in open interest, with quantity and value changes moving in the same direction. The price shows an upward trend, and active transactions do not show a clear one-sided bias; the current strength is mainly reflected in the price performance.$BTC has dropped below 82,000! This morning at $84,219 on OKX, $160 billion worth of options just settled, and it seemed to hold.
September settlements total 1.6 trillion, with BTC accounting for 32% and ETH 40%, the largest liquidation this cycle. Bulls stubbornly held all afternoon without breaking $83,800; the fear and greed index has been below 50 for three consecutive days. But the 10-year US Treasury yield has surged to 5.20%, the highest since 2007, and the 30-year yield at 5.519% set a new record for 2022. This BTC move is purely price pressure from nervous expectations before the US stock market opens.
GEX dense area at $84,000, price running close to the edge, low IV indicates direction is about to break. Fund rates are neutral with no long-short imbalance; this is a healthy correction, not a crash.
What BTC fears most now is not a dump, but continued slow decline. If $83,800 holds and doesn't break, add 2%; if it breaks, wait to catch at $82,800. Don't chase shorts at high levels; betting on direction here has less than a 50% success rate. Gold has reached its value level~ Unfortunately, I didn't manage my short positions well!
Here, enter in batches within two ranges to make a medium to long-term trade. Stop loss at a new low. You can try to play a wave~ Low leverage long positions or spot trading will do~
