BTC only moved about $442 in the past 24 hours, and ETH and SOL also stayed within narrow ranges. On a Sunday like this, what I fear most is mistaking a single spike for a new trend.
At 8:30, checking OKX, BTC was around $77,270, with a 24-hour high and low of $77,507 and $77,065; ETH was about $2,526, with an intraday high-low difference of only $38. Major coins hovered near midnight Beijing time, with neither bulls nor bears gaining the upper hand. It feels more like waiting for direction now, chasing the middle price is risky.
I won’t move my core spot positions today, nor add to small coins. Only when BTC breaks above $77,500 with volume, and ETH surpasses $2,547, will I revise the market outlook upward; if BTC falls below $77,050 and ETH also loses $2,509, I will continue to reduce high-volatility positions. Before these two conditions occur, I’d rather skip a trade.

Currently, the market's probability of betting on a Fed rate hike has already reached about 85%.
Why?
Oil prices are over 100, inflation isn't easing, employment is still holding up, and last time someone even directly voted for a rate hike.
Simply put:
Inflation isn't dead, the economy isn't down, and the Fed still has the knife in hand.
So this 25bp hike, I think it's very likely to come.
But don't panic just because of a rate hike.
What the market fears now isn't this cut; everyone has already seen this cut coming.
What’s really dangerous is:
After the cut, the Fed says:
Don't rush, there’s more to come.
If they only cut once, it might actually be the worst of it.
If US Treasury yields keep rising and the 10-year holds above 5%, that means—
The first cut was just an appetizer.
Wangzai Wang Fugui continues to watch.
Don’t guess the news, watch the money.
Don’t fear this cut, fear the continuous follow-up cuts.The past 24 hours were not a broad rally
It's the liquidation map changing colors

Short positions with insufficient margin were forcibly liquidated
The reverse buying pushed the price up

Two identities; SOL liquidated 25.15 million
Longs are about half
Longs and shorts are more balancedAt 3 a.m., when I watched the market, BTC was forcibly pulled from 79,800 back to 77,000. Staring at the candlesticks, I just want to ask: Who exactly did this fake resurrection scam out of their positions? The core CPI rose 0.3% month-on-month, exceeding expectations; the probability of a 25bp rate hike in September jumped directly from 60% to over 86%, and the 10-year US Treasury yield approached 5%. The daily golden cross just appeared but then crashed, like catching a cold the next day after signing up for a fitness card. BTC repeatedly tugged around 77,300—this wasn't a trend, but derivatives repricing. What the market was really trading wasn't the CPI itself, but the 'higher and longer' interest rate path being locked in early. A spike in rate hike probability meant the dollar's real interest rate had risen, risk appetite was compressed, and leveraged bulls were forced to reduce their positions. If the perpetual contract funding rate turns negative, it means bears are increasing their positions, with squeeze risk leaning downward. On the bullish side: OKB has held steady between 113 and 114, rising about 2% in 24 hours, relying on OKX derivatives activity, fee discounts, and buyback and burn narratives to break an independent rally. Monthly trading volume is expanding, but the 110 support has not been broken. Platform coins have always been a thermometer of sentiment; if it hasn't crashed, it means there is still local heat in the market. But DOGE only rose 1% near 0.084, Musk has not spoken, and Bitwise's DOGE ETF is still being liquidated. This is not a "pet adjustment," but "the owner doesn't care." HYPE is between 78 and 79, ecosystem heat but with an unlocking bomb hanging overhead. The weakness of counterfeit is: no incremental narrative, only stock game competition. Potential risk: OKThis year, I saw a saying that I think is more useful than any technical analysis. The numbers in your account do not equal your wealth. Many people go through the same process during a bull market: 100,000 becomes 200,000, feeling enlightened; 200,000 becomes 400,000, they start fantasizing about financial freedom; 400,000 becomes 600,000, even cutting their profit-taking plans because they think it can still rise. So what happened? After a big bearish candlestick, 600,000 turns into 450,000, you tell yourself it's just a pullback; 450,000 becomes 350,000, you start comforting yourself with long-term holding; 350,000 becomes 250,000, you start hoping to break even; Finally, the bull market ends, and the account returns to 150,000. This is not a story; it's something many retail investors have truly experienced. The biggest illusion in a bull market is the belief that the rise will never end. Every day when I open the app, it's always green, and gradually I start to feel that making money is easy, even starting to use leverage, chase highs, and go all in. But the market never rewards greed forever. I'm increasingly convinced that in a bull market, what truly determines returns isn't buying, but exiting. Many people spend months researching which coins to buy, but less than 10 minutes to make a take-profit plan. BTC, ETH, SOL, OKB, SUI—as long as prices rise, everyone says they're long-term value; But when they fall, people start questioning their lives. Truly mature trading isn't about deciding when emotions come, but about writing rules in advance. My principle has always been simple. First, profit isn't the goal—cashing in is the goal. Second, don't predict the peak—only earn your own segment. Third, take profits in batches—don't sell all at once, don't go all the wayThe most insidious move on the chessboard is never a check, but letting your opponent use your own pieces to capture yours.
In the Goldman Sachs room, Jensen Huang faced a question that all grandmasters are intimately familiar with: Is the advantage in your hand a real first move, or an illusion created by cyclical piece exchanges? The skeptic laid out the position clearly—you're giving money to customers, who then use that money to buy your computing cards, causing the number of captured pieces on paper to soar, but has the net value of your pieces truly increased? This strategy has a name in chess notation: a self-sustaining false offensive—appearing to be on the verge of victory, but actually hollow in the rear; once the opponent steadies and counterattacks, your center collapses like a sieve.
His response was to lay about $100 billion in real contracts on the table, a 70% year-over-year growth rate, plus a $500 billion infrastructure pot leveraged jointly with institutions. This is not a midgame tactical combination, but a central pawn push in the opening phase—he wants to prove that the pieces captured are real. But look closely, what he offers is not an immediate checkmate, but a promotion path.
The real signal is not in his defense, but in the market’s shift in questioning—from "How big is the demand?" to "Can it generate sustainable revenue?" This marks the transition from opening to midgame: imagination yields to piece settlement. Anyone can make a beautiful opening; the midgame reveals the truth—can contracts turn into cash flow, can cash flow cover depreciation, and after depreciation, how many net pieces remain on the board? If you can’t calculate these three steps, all the previous elegant moves are just notation symbols.
As for the linked asset coded XAVGO, it is not an independent game. It is a connected scenario on the main board: the main board pushes the central pawn, and it follows the line; once the main board is forcibly exchanged, it can’t even keep the pawns guarding the edges. Taking it out and reading it alone is like focusing only on your half of the board, blind to the opponent’s rook already sweeping your baseline.
All the noise about computing power demand will ultimately be settled piece by piece in the endgame—and in the endgame, no one can turn pawns into queens by storytelling. #nvidiadefendsaifundingClues from capital behavior often provide answers earlier than narratives. Some observers compare the double bottom patterns at the end of the 2018 and 2022 bear markets: the two bottoms on December 15, 2018, and February 8, 2019, were almost at the same price, and similarly on November 9 and November 20, 2022. Based on this rhythm, a metaphysical projection places the next low points on November 10, 2026, and January 12, 2027, suggesting the second bottom will be slightly higher than the first, with the time window fitting neatly within a four-year cycle. More interestingly, the path differences: 2018 saw a long-term gradual decline followed by a sudden panic sell-off, while 2022 was accelerated by consecutive negative events pushing the bottom faster. If 2026 resembles 2018, a considerable rebound might occur in December, and spot positions built near November 10 could consider reducing holdings by 30% to 50% at strong weekly resistance zones, with contract positions halved simultaneously. This logic relies on pattern replication, with only two samples, so neither timing nor magnitude can be verified. Please treat this as a scenario reference rather than trading advice. $BTC
#BTCSpotETF450MOutflow
Risk warning: The above is market observation and does not constitute investment advice. Cryptocurrency assets are highly volatile; please manage your positions and risks accordingly.A 61% month-over-month increase is not about refurbishing the facade; it's about chiseling open the load-bearing columns and re-grouting them.
The nominal transaction amount of 17.5B has moved from the blueprints to the site. This scale means the pile foundation of the three underground levels has already penetrated the soft soil and bitten into the bedrock. What really made me sit up straight in front of the sectional drawing was the pouring speed—the structural rise completed within a single quarter has never appeared on that old plot of traditional brokerage.
Now look at the forecast contract pillar. 4.7B, down 23% month-over-month. Looking at this curve alone, it seems like the construction team is packing up. But zooming out to the annual profile, a 15-fold year-over-year increase is like going from a single-story bungalow directly to a fifteen-story tower. Anyone who has worked on super high-rises knows that during rapid structural climbing, there must be a settlement adjustment; that’s not cracking, it’s concrete hydrating and the foundation finding its balance point. Northern construction has winter breaks, so a monthly decline means little; once August hits with a cumulative breakthrough of 300 billion, that slope is the main beam.
The new contract plus equity on September 8 marks a fundamental shift in development logic. Previously, they were tenants, paying rent to set up a counter within someone else’s red line; now they buy the land, draw their own red lines, and set their own floor area ratio. And completing an IPO underwriting for the first time is equivalent to obtaining the general contracting qualification for construction—transforming from just selling blueprints to simultaneously holding the roles of design institute, construction team, and property owner.
I have a stubborn habit when reviewing projects: I don’t look at renderings first; I flip through the structural calculation book first. The white paper is just a rendering—anyone can make it look good; whether it can be topped out depends on reinforcement ratio, concrete grade, and detailed node drawings. Custody, liquidation, and compliance audit are the raft foundations buried underground—unseen but determining how long this building can stand and how tall it can be built.
The problem lies here as well. The high-frequency settlement of digital assets, the clearing mechanism of forecast contracts, and the audit criteria of underwriting business are three completely different modular column grids. Forcing them into the same tower requires massive transfer trusses in the transition layer, and each transfer truss is a concentrated stress point. Multi-business collaboration sounds like an aerial corridor, but if done poorly, it leads to stress concentration. I have seen too many projects die in phase two: phase one sells out, phase two adds floors, and as they add, they find underground parking is insufficient, elevator shafts are misplaced, and fire evacuation widths don’t add up.
61% is impressive. But pouring speed has never been an indicator of whether a building will collapse. When the load-bearing system isn’t fully drawn yet but they rush to top out, the first to deform is never the curtain wall, but the core tube. #robinhoodcrypto61%surge$BEAT Just switched the software to the background, and the market suddenly crashed down, like it's playing hide and seek with me.
During the early session when it just dropped, BEAT rebounded to around 0.1223. Looking at the volume, one word: fake. No one was supporting the rise; every time it popped up, it got pushed back down, a strong bear trap. Since it couldn't break through, I conveniently opened a short position at this level.
Now at 0.0876, +283.72% already in hand. This move wasn't about being aggressive, but about laying an ambush in advance.
Profits don't inflate, and drawdowns aren't despairing.
Position split into two parts: 70% taken off first to lock in gains; the remaining 30% set at break-even to protect the position. If it continues to drop, let the profits run; if it rebounds, it won't bite into the gains.
Don't mind moving slowly; going slow actually takes you farther. If a better position comes up later, I'll call it out immediately. This is not the time to chase orders, be patient and wait for the structure.
$LAB $XRP "ETF outflows for four consecutive days" sounds like funds are lining up to flee. But when you break down the daily numbers, the story isn't that straightforward.
As of September 11 in the U.S., spot Bitcoin ETFs did indeed see net outflows for four consecutive trading days, totaling about $463 million. However, the outflow on the 10th was about $283 million, and it shrank to around $13 million on the 11th. Funds are still flowing out, but the pace clearly slowed on the last day.
What I don't buy is translating "consecutive" directly as "accelerating." Swapping these two words turns what should be a discussion about whether outflows are easing into an instant narrative of institutions collectively fleeing.
Conversely, a smaller outflow doesn't mean funds have turned around, nor can it be used to declare that BTC is about to rebound. It's like a faucet going from a gush to a drip—you can say the flow has lessened, but you can't say water is starting to flow back into the pipe.
For me, the latest data worth noting isn't just another day in the red, but how much new pressure there really is. ETFs are just one channel of funds and don't represent a unified stance of all holders. When you see these numbers over the weekend, remember: this data is from Friday, not that another outflow happened on Sunday.
For informational purposes only, not investment advice. Market cap fell from 18 million to 12.3 million in just one early morning. This number itself explains the pricing method of this type of asset better than the increase rate.
Why did it surge to 18 million? Because its name borrowed the narrative of the company behind Pump.fun, and the paired token is PUMP. Buyers are not betting on the project, but on others seeing this name first.
Who is passive? Those chasing at the peak. Who benefits? Those who knew the narrative earliest and could sell within the liquidity. The next link in this chain is usually the narrative being officially denied.
Watch for one signal: whether the official side steps in to cut ties. Once cut, the market cap is very unlikely to return to the previous high.
#LAPTOP首发跌近99%，Meme市场争议升温 $PUMP $BTC reported at $77,260, down 0.02% in 24 hours; $ETH up 0.35%. At the same time, total market cap dropped 2.54% to 2.66 trillion, with BTC dominance at 58.23%. The lost market cap is in altcoins.
The updated Clarity Act text has been released and will enter full chamber voting next week. A post on X shouting "the biggest bull market in history" got 2,700 likes, but BTC turnover rate is only 0.97%, and the bill's positive news hasn't attracted large capital inflows.
Funds on the floor went to Chinese Meme coins: Lobster +114.64%, turnover 46%, funding rate +0.09%, the highest in the market, bulls are paying to chase; Bull Come turnover 55.6%. On the other side, MTL funding rate -1.74%, shorts are crowded, price remains weak.
In the days before the vote, BTC dominance holds above 58%, altcoins continue to bleed, high funding rate Memes first give back gains. The watershed depends on two things: total market cap recovering the 2.54% drop, and BTC turnover significantly expanding—only when both happen simultaneously can the bill rally be considered started.Good morning, just woke up and took a look at the market; the weekend trading is really boring enough to make you sleepy.
BTC is stuck at 77,272, with a 24-hour amplitude of less than $500. Look at this 1-hour chart, the MA5, MA10, and MA20 lines are all stuck around 77,250, forming a straight line, and the Bollinger Bands are tightly compressed, with the upper and lower bands combined giving just over $300 of space. The trading volume is even more extreme, with only 13 BTC traded in 24 hours; the big money is all on vacation.
That weak rebound last night from 76,880 looks insignificant under the shadow of 79,896. The current market is a typical "calm before the storm." Next week, there are two big macro events: an interest rate hike (with a probability approaching 90%) and quarterly options expiration. ETF funds are also continuously withdrawing, and institutions are all hedging.
This kind of extreme low volume is most feared for sudden spikes up or down in the middle of the night, blowing out all high-leverage positions. On weekends, just rest quietly and don’t impulsively open positions. Hold your spot positions and play dead; absolutely avoid leverage. Wait for the big move after next week’s FOMC announcement. Guessing the direction now is just giving money to the manipulators. Close your software and go out for breakfast.

#财报观察员：甲骨文AI云收入增121% $ZEC is cooling off, but I still don’t see its bullish structure breaking.
What matters now isn’t how far it has already run, but who is controlling the liquidity behind the move.
After a parabolic rally, the market often needs volatility to flush weak leverage. If this is simply a positioning reset, $ZEC could remain strong once capital returns.
I’m not chasing price. I’m watching volume, key support, and market reaction. Whoever controls the liquidity controls the game.
#ZECGoesInstitutional Winning three out of four orders, but still shrinking the account in the end—anyone would have no patience for this.
$BTC Those two 100x orders were the main bleeding points: buying at 77,400 and cutting at 76,300, losing $2,387. After holding out for almost a day, the CPI never lifted the rally.
$ETH and $ZEC were straightforward, taking a bite of the data and then exiting the volatility, earning $83 and $929 respectively—the direction was right, but they didn't get stuck in the trade.
CPI year-on-year was 3.4%, core rose 0.3% month-on-month; bulls did not expect surprises, and rate hike expectations continue to rise.
Now, with only a little over $3,000 left in the position, it's probably still too early to say it's time to retire. When will the next order emerge? The real answer?
#PPI. After the CPI was released, many institutions raised their expectations for a rate hike in September
#BTC现货ETF三日流出近4 50 million USD #日银年内再加息成焦点 $BTC $ETH The market twists and turns, yet it's the same familiar script!
$ETH is currently oscillating and stabilizing around the 2510 range, with a slight intraday gain of 3%, stubbornly holding up against last night's CPI data shakeout.
This rebound is essentially an extreme short squeeze.
Even though the inflation data was disappointing, the market had already fully priced in the bad news; capital concentrated its force to crush the shorts, pushing the price to surge above 2600 instantly.
Unfortunately, the bulls lacked follow-through, failing to hold the new highs, retreating after the spike and giving back most of the gains—a classic false breakout that lures buyers in. The chart looks strong, but underneath it's weak.
However, the biggest flaw is obvious—the rebound happened on very low volume.
This rally wasn't driven by large spot market buyers; it was purely a move caused by short contract stop-losses and passive liquidations pushing the price up. The main funds remain cautious and locked in, with no real buying momentum.
The news front is relatively quiet, with institutional BlackRock steadily accumulating, providing some support to the market.
But the biggest wildcard is next week's Federal Reserve meeting, which is the heavy bomb that will determine the subsequent trend and is currently the market's biggest uncertainty.
Finally, a self-review and complaint:
I understand the logic, but my execution was poor 😭
Last night the market suddenly surged; luckily, I didn't set a stop loss and got crushed by the move, almost facing liquidation risk. Thankfully, I quickly reversed to $LAB. Everyone, please trade cautiously #财报观察员：Oracle AI Cloud Revenue Up 121%

$xORCL $ADBE $NVDA #ETH Spot ETF Funds Flow Against the Trend, Intensifying Divergence
Latest Data
Overnight data shows a net inflow of $216 million in ETH spot ETFs in a single day, forming a clear contrast with the slight outflow in BTC spot ETFs. The market price of $BTC is 77270, overall trading is in a narrow range with low market activity, most altcoins have limited volatility, and funds are beginning to switch positions among mainstream coins. U.S. Treasury yields remain high, with no obvious signs of a macro-level turnaround.
Market Consensus
Some traders believe that the shift of funds to Ethereum indicates the start of internal market rotation, and that $ETH will subsequently show relatively stronger performance;
Others think that a single day's inflow has limited reference value, the overall environment is weak, making it difficult for an independent rally, and that this is more of a short-term risk-hedging and portfolio adjustment behavior.
Underlying Logic Analysis
The divergence in fund flows between the two is not due to a huge fundamental gap, but rather a rebalancing of positions. After a round of adjustments, some institutions have started to buy Ethereum on dips. However, as long as the pressure from high interest rates persists, it will be difficult for the overall market to open upward space, and the strength of individual assets is unlikely to drive a broad market recovery. Many rush to chase highs when seeing funds entering a single coin, ignoring the systemic risks brought by the broader environment.
Personal Viewpoint (Personally inclined to a gradual bull market return, personal opinion only, not investment advice)
Internal rotation can be closely observed, but do not blindly chase gains. At this stage, prioritize controlling overall positions and wait for the market sentiment to stabilize completely before making differentiated allocations. Competition among L2s does not necessarily weaken ETH
Different L2s compete for users, applications, and liquidity. While this may seem like internal ecosystem friction, moderate competition can actually drive down fees, improve user experience, and enable scenario specialization.
One L2 can focus on payments, another on institutional assets, while others may be designed around gaming, social interaction, or privacy. The mainnet struggles to provide optimal parameters for all scenarios simultaneously, but L2s can experiment with different solutions without changing L1 rules.
For $ETH, the key is not to prevent L2 competition but to ensure that the results of competition still share the mainnet's security, asset standards, and settlement liquidity. If users have to rely on opaque bridges to move across L2s, competition could lead to fragmentation.
A healthy ecosystem features diverse frontends with a unified underlying layer. Users can choose different environments, but ultimately asset rights share a common trusted root.
Therefore, an increase in the number of L2s is neither inherently positive nor negative. As interoperability becomes safer and ETH's role as a shared asset strengthens, competition can expand the ecosystem; if each is closed off and issues alternative assets, growth may diverge from Ethereum.LSK current price is 0.3189. The news is all noise, no clear direction, just watch the order book directly. On the 4-hour level, volume continues to shrink, buy orders are thin, the 0.325 to 0.33 range above is suppressing the previous trapped positions, any rebound is doomed to be smashed. The 0.31 level below is short-term emotional support, but there is no sign of capital entering; a breakdown is just a matter of time. The overall structure is bearish, don’t rush to bottom-fish.
Just opened the guard booth window for some fresh air, and the delivery guy’s electric bike is blocking the door downstairs again.
In terms of operation, the idea is short positions. Enter gradually between 0.320 and 0.323, don’t chase. Take profit first target at 0.308, second target at 0.298. Set stop loss above 0.328; if broken, admit the mistake and exit. Control your position well; this kind of low-volume choppy market is the most exhausting, don’t bet heavily on direction.
This market is like a dull knife cutting meat, wait for it to choose a direction on its own. I’ll keep watching the monitor, will update if there’s any movement.

#美债收益率逼近5%，回购难缓长期压力
@OKX星球 $SNOW No operation, no analysis, just relying on luck, I even feel embarrassed to share this record. 🤦 When the screen was full of green, I suddenly remembered I seemed to have left a short position open. I checked it, and wow, +298.2% profit secured.
Actually, it’s not luck, just good fortune, I happened to short at 372.81. At that time, SNOW had obvious resistance above; every time it hit the pressure level, it pulled back, and volume didn’t keep up. The movement looked like a bull trap, so I decided to lay a trap myself. Now at 328.42, it broke down directly, so the profit naturally came.
In this kind of market, follow the rules: close 80% first, keep 20% at cost price as protection. If it continues to drop, let that 20% follow along; if it rebounds, protect yourself immediately, don’t get attached to the trade. 💪
Hold as long as the trend is intact, exit once it breaks down, don’t fall in love with your positions. At this point, chasing shorts is no longer cost-effective. Wait for the next new structure to emerge, opportunities are always there.
$ZEC $BTC The easiest mistake to make this time is to take $ETH just turning green as confirmation of rotation. Public market data shows $ETH around 2,525, up 0.36% intraday, while $BTC is about 77,260 but almost flat; relative strength has indeed improved, but it's not enough to prove that funds have shifted from a single-point rebound to sustained diffusion.
First-person market view: I won't chase just because $ETH is slightly stronger. At least I need to wait for a full hour close above 2,544, with volume expanding simultaneously, and $BTC not showing obvious weakness before including mainstream coin rotation in my plan.
If $ETH just touches a high and then returns to the original range, this judgment of strengthening fails. Before conditions are met, I prefer to control position risk and avoid misreading a slight lead as a trend reversal during thin trading periods; overall, what’s worth tracking now is synchronicity, not individual gains.
Would you first look for $ETH to break out with volume, or confirm $BTC holds steady? This is just a personal market observation and does not constitute investment advice.Rotation circles back to ecosystem coins again. Among UNI, ARB, and OP, who can truly catch ETH's momentum this time?
#PPI, CPI released, multiple institutions raise September rate hike expectations
The market looks like a relay race reaching a curve, with ETH still holding the baton, while UNI, ARB, and OP behind are already jockeying for position—ecosystem coins love to suddenly surge after the second-tier coins stabilize, but this kind of market often creates false starts. The first rally only indicates capital testing the waters; whether the resistance can turn into support determines if this round has staying power.
#Crypto treasury divergence: buy coins or buybacks?
$UNI's advantage is high recognition; if capital truly flows into DeFi, it usually won't be absent, but the selling pressure above must be eaten up bit by bit through transactions; ARB is more elastic—whenever ETH actively strengthens, short-term funds easily use it to amplify gains; OP also rides ecosystem sentiment, but to shift from following the rally to leading it, it must show continuously higher lows rather than pulling back immediately after a rally.
Bulls are waiting for three moves: UNI breaking out with volume, $ARB holding after a rally, and OP continuously raising its lows. If any two occur, rotation within the ETH ecosystem may continue; bears wait for ETH to weaken, then watch which ARB sells off gains first.
Looking upward, watch for UNI opening the door, ARB accelerating, and $OP taking the baton; looking downward, watch ARB losing steam first and UNI failing to break out. The biggest risk for ecosystem catch-up rallies is focusing only on who rises fastest; those that truly go far are the ones that can turn chasing capital into locked-in holdings after the rally.NVDA forward PE is 13.91, even lower than JPMorgan's — but don't rush to call it cheap.
Just saw a market cap ranking: Nvidia's forward P/E is marked at 13.91, JPMorgan's at 14.16, the numbers are striking.
On the same list, Apple and Microsoft have forward P/Es still above 20, and Tesla's is even triple digits.
But some comments have already pointed out: this 13.91 might be based on earnings expectations for a more distant year, not something that can be realized next year.
I think the hook "cheaper than banks" sells well, but what matters for trading is whether growth can keep up, not just screenshots and circles.
What to do: don't go all in based on this chart; first verify if it's a one-year or longer-term forward, treat earnings reports and guidance inconsistencies as noise. Failure condition — if AI capital expenditure cuts are confirmed, immediately lower expectations.
Do you believe this is a valuation reversion, or do you think the forward PE is calculated too far out?

$NVDA $JPM $SMH Saudi Arabia shut down the "lifeline pipeline," and oil prices immediately broke $100 — but don't rush to buy $BTC just because the Middle East exploded
First, some background for newcomers: Saudi Arabia has an east-west oil pipeline that crosses the entire Arabian Peninsula from the oil-producing area in the eastern Persian Gulf to the Red Sea port of Yanbu. It is about 1,200 kilometers long, with a maximum daily transport capacity of 7 million barrels, accounting for about 4% to 5% of global oil supply. This pipeline is called the "lifeline pipeline" because after the Strait of Hormuz was blocked by Iran, Saudi Arabia relied entirely on it to transport oil out from the Red Sea direction. The CEO of Saudi Aramco said last month that this pipeline is "more effective than releasing emergency crude oil reserves" in alleviating supply disruptions.
So what happened? On September 10, multiple drones flew in from the Iraq direction and precisely struck pump stations on the Riyadh and Medina sections, causing fires and injuries. Saudi Arabia then announced a precautionary shutdown of the entire pipeline, with an unknown restoration time.
What about the Red Sea side? The Houthi forces in Yemen just took control of Perim Island in the middle of the Mandeb Strait, setting up radars, drones, and coastal ship missiles there, almost covering the entire busiest navigation area. Wow, the Persian Gulf is blocked, the Red Sea is also blocked, and now the land pipeline in the middle is shut down. Saudi Arabia basically has both its sea outlets blocked.
Having covered the news, let's talk about the market.
On the crude oil side, Brent crude broke $100 on September 9, rebounding more than 50% from the July low of $65.83. After the pipeline shutdown news, the weekly gain has exceeded 8%. Economists at Capital Economics said that if the pipeline is seriously damaged, oil prices could surge to $120. Goldman Sachs' neutral forecast is Brent between $80 and $85, but the upside risk is "significantly skewed higher."
On the macro side, high oil prices have directly pushed inflation expectations back. The US core PCE has been above 3% year-over-year every month in August, with almost no progress toward the 2% target. CME data shows the probability of a 25 basis point rate hike in September surged from 38% at the end of August to 89%. JPMorgan has completely reversed its stance, changing from "expecting rate cuts" to "expecting one hike each in September and December."
In the crypto space, Ethereum fell below $2,400, and Bitcoin dropped below $77,000 on September 10, the day oil prices broke $100, hitting a low of $76,676. ETF fund flows are even more telling — on September 3, there was a net inflow of $682 million in one day, but by September 10, it turned into a net outflow of $283 million, flipping faster than turning a page.
Gold is behaving somewhat counterintuitively. Traditionally, geopolitical conflicts and risk aversion would push gold prices up. But in the past week, gold has repeatedly come under pressure, with funds clearly favoring the US dollar and short-term bonds. However, from a longer-term perspective, the gold pricing logic is changing — it’s not just about interest rates but also US fiscal credit and central bank gold purchases. Central banks have been buying gold continuously this year, and gold’s reaction to rate hike expectations is noticeably weaker than before.
So how to understand the current situation?
The short-term logic is indeed twisted. Oil price rises → inflation expectations rise → Fed hikes rates more aggressively → liquidity tightens → high-beta assets like BTC and ETH get hit first. This transmission chain is very direct, and Bitcoin is the first to take the hit.
But don’t mix the two things up. The Middle East blowing up doesn’t mean $BTC should go up, nor does it mean $BTC should crash. In the short term, it’s just a high-beta risk asset that follows liquidity. The real variable to watch is: if this supply shock drags into a prolonged conflict and oil prices stay above $100 long-term, then when gold shines and the fiat credit story is retold, that will be the real window for $BTC’s second rally.
For those eager to rush in now, first see if the ETF money has returned. Talking about a bull market is worthless; real money coming back is what counts.

$ETH is a bit frustrating.
After a big bullish candle surge, it stopped immediately, hovering back and forth around 2525 on the hourly chart.
Although ETF funds are still flowing in, short-term bulls clearly don't want to keep pushing; after the rally, there's a lack of incremental funds to take over.
The previous high at 2667 is above, and it's not easy to break through it in one go in the short term. MACD has already turned down, and the upward momentum on the hourly chart is slowly fading.
Don't get carried away by the previous big surge; a sharp rise doesn't necessarily continue immediately. Sideways consolidation and shakeout are normal.
Now bulls and bears are in a tug-of-war stage. The first resistance above is at 2557, and the short-term defense support is at 2509 below.
If the support holds, bulls can still expect a second push. Once the support breaks, a likely retracement will come to clear short-term floating positions.
The market isn't afraid of rising; it's afraid of grinding in a narrow range for a long time, with orders sweeping back and forth, which is mentally exhausting.

#ETHETF funds continue to flow in
#Ethereum consolidates after rally
#Hourly level bulls and bears battleOver the past 24 hours, I've been closely watching every move in the crypto market, and my biggest feeling is — on the surface, everything looks jubilant, but underneath, there are turbulent undercurrents. First, the exciting part: the total market capitalization has firmly held at $2.65 trillion, the fear and greed index has returned to 63, re-entering the "greed" zone. Almost all major coins are showing gains, with Ethereum hitting an 8-month price high, surging over 8% at one point, and shorts being "washed out" by more than $300 million. Altcoins mostly rose over 3%, making the overall market look vibrant and bullish. But Bitcoin leaves me a bit conflicted. After a rally, it ultimately stopped around $77,000. I noticed a significant amount of trapped positions piled up between $78,000 and $82,000, with clear selling pressure above. Simply put, it's not that easy for BTC to break through upwards. What concerns me more is the "split" in capital flows. The spot market saw a net inflow of $472 million, indicating money is coming in; however, Bitcoin spot ETFs had a net outflow of $463 million that week, while Ethereum spot ETFs had a net inflow of $197 million during the same period. What does this mean? Institutional funds are quietly "abandoning BTC and shifting to ETH," indicating a structural shift in preferences. As for why this rally could happen, I've summarized it: on one hand, the market has already priced in much of the Federal Reserve's rate hike expectations; on the other hand, the easing of geopolitical tensions in the Middle East has injected a strong boost into risk assets. But I remind myself not to be too optimistic — next week's Federal Reserve policy meeting is the real "big test." The market is shrinking and oscillating, altcoins are weakening accordingly, while OKB is relatively resistant to decline.
$BTC is stuck at 77,000. There is supply above 80,000–82,000, and structural support between 73,000–75,000. ETF funds are flowing in and out, the macro window hasn't passed yet, so consider it a sideways market for now; as long as the lower boundary isn't broken, it remains a consolidation phase.
$ETH follows BTC, with 2,500 as the short-term threshold. Without independent catalysts, strength or weakness depends on ETH/BTC, currently leaning neutral to slightly weak; a breakout requires the overall market to give direction first.
$ZEC has been the strongest recently: ETF opening channels, privacy narrative, short squeeze pushed the price from lows to above 1,000, with market cap once entering the top ten. The high retreated from above 1,200 to 1,120, which is a normal profit-taking. 1,000 is the first line of defense; holding it is necessary before aiming for previous highs; breaking it could lead to a retracement to 880–1,000 for digestion. Heavy leverage and high volatility mean it shouldn't be considered a stable mainstream.
$OKB has a different logic: fixed total supply of 21 million, benefits from fee discounts and X Layer gas. It is more tied to the platform and ecosystem, not fully correlated with daily price swings. The upper boundary of the box is around 114; only with increased volume can it have an independent rally. In the past 24 hours, the entire network liquidated $674 million, with nearly 100,000 positions wiped out directly. Shorts liquidated $381 million, longs liquidated $292 million. On the surface, shorts seem to have lost more, but the real focus should be on ETH.
$BTC long and short liquidations are basically evenly split, both around $90 million, indicating that Bitcoin is still in a consolidation battle without a one-sided massacre.
$ETH is completely different: longs liquidated $96.73 million, while shorts liquidated $215 million. The $20.28 million ETH-USD forced liquidation on Hyperliquid was likely a high-leverage short getting wiped out instantly as liquidity tightened.
The trigger for this round of reshuffling is still macroeconomic. Core CPI rose 0.1% month-over-month, rate hike expectations quickly heated up, with probabilities reaching 80% at one point, US Treasury yields approaching 5%, and crude oil surpassing $104.
My judgment is simple: BTC looks at 75,000 first; as long as the structure holds, it’s not bad; only if it stabilizes above 78,000 can it continue to push higher. ETH looks at 2,500, with 2,400 as a key defense level.
The most dangerous thing now is not the lack of market movement, but too much leverage; once macro conditions change, everyone has to pay the price.To be honest,
The issues with SOL were not created in a day.
The decline of the Meme narrative, Hyperliquid front-running, frequent security incidents, ongoing FTX unlocks, and cooling ETF funds—these slow variables have been gradually eroding SOL's fundamentals over the past six months.
Last night's sharp drop was just a concentrated release of these pressures triggered by a macro catalyst.
The 39 million tokens above $103 now hang like a dark cloud over SOL. Every rebound to this range faces selling pressure from holders trying to break even. To absorb this dense chip area requires real spot buying with actual capital, not a rebound driven by leverage.
If SOL's Alpenglow upgrade can be successfully implemented in Q4, it might be the key to reversing the narrative. But that is a matter for the future.
The current issue is whether $100 can hold.
$SOL $ETH $BTC #PPI、CPI公布后，多家机构上调9月加息预期 #BTC现货ETF三日流出近4.5亿美元 #财报观察员：甲骨文AI云收入增121% $ARPA was named in the hourly report as the biggest loser, but today it surged with 13.4 times volume before pulling back
Wow, the hourly report at dawn pointed out $ARPA as the biggest loser, but it just released a huge volume 13.4 times, rising from 0.00912 to 0.01101, now pulling back to 0.00977 — the surge couldn't hold, I'm bearish on this pullback.
Funding rate is 0.000056 neutral, OI is 244 million tokens, but 65.64% of accounts are long, with a long-short ratio of 1.91 — the crowded longs are the fuel for the pullback.
Resistance above: 0.0102 (15m SAR flipped up) → 0.01101 (24h high)
Support below: 0.00962 (short-term support) → 0.00925 (daily MA30)
Watershed level: 0.00962. If broken, look down to 0.00925.
Conclusion: More likely to continue retreating to test 0.00962 rather than a second surge — the market is diverging at a high level and pulling back, BTC 77246 is stuck below the 7-day moving average 78179, long-short ratio average 2.48 is crowded; but daily MA7 is still above MA30, RSI 45.8 is not oversold. Enter short on rebound at 0.0102, stop loss at 0.011, target 0.00925.

$ARPA $BTCIn 2040, Ethereum may do something no one expected—it makes 'trust' no longer needs a reason. It's not price prediction, not ETFs, not a new feature. It's something deeper underneath: the 'trust mechanism' that has run for thousands of years in human civilization may be completely rewritten by Ethereum. The deadlock of trust Every leap in human civilization is essentially an upgrade of the trust mechanism. In the tribal era, you could only trust people you met face-to-face. In the Middle Ages, trust relied on endorsements from churches and guilds. In modern society, banks, courts, notaries—a whole system allows strangers to do business with each other. But every upgrade in trust comes with the same price: you have to expose yourself. You need credit checks for loans, medical checks for employment, and visas for going abroad. Your finances, health, identity, and whereabouts are all exposed to the sunlight to earn a "I trust you" from others. This deadlock has been tied by humanity for thousands of years. Now, someone has unraveled it. Zero-Knowledge Proof: Magic Becomes Reality The ZK (zero-knowledge proof) ecosystem quietly built by Ethereum over the past few years is turning a cryptographic miracle into everyday infrastructure. What is a zero-knowledge proof? Simply put: I can prove something is true, but you don't need to see any details. For example—I can prove to you that I have a million in my bank account, but I don't need to show you bank statements, balance screenshots, or even tell you which bank I opened the account. This is not science fiction. ZK technology has existed mathematically for decades. But it really turns a paper into a feasibilityDon't be fooled by the low volatility over the weekend, thinking the Middle East situation is over. Last night, the Houthi forces launched a large number of ballistic missiles and drones at Saudi military bases, and Saudi Arabia conducted 129 airstrikes on Yemen within 48 hours — this is a real escalation, not just verbal sparring. The market was quiet over the weekend, and the three major $BTC coins retreated sluggishly, which especially makes it easy to mistakenly think the risk background has been lifted. It hasn't. The risk-off tone remains, with tail risks in oil prices, sticky inflation, plus next Tuesday's FOMC meeting — none of these have been resolved. At times like this, the biggest fear is mistaking "no drop" for "safety." Before the market opens next week, I'd rather stay on the sidelines. What do you think about this wave of Middle East escalation?When prices rise, the comment sections are filled with comments like "$10 is just the beginning" and "See you at $20"; When it drops a little, people start asking "Is it going to zero?" or "Is the bull market over?" On the contrary, I think both voices are very dangerous. Because those who truly make money are never the most emotionally agitated, but those who can stay calm within their emotions. Many retail investors share a common problem: they dare not sell when prices rise, and dare not buy when prices fall. SUI rises 20%, then regrets holding too little and chases higher; The next day, after a 10% pullback, it starts to question life again; If it drops a bit more, it sells its losses and exits; But after a few days it hits a new high, it buys back again. Going back and forth, prices keep rising, and your own coins become fewer and fewer. This isn't SUI's problem, it's a matter of trading discipline. I've always believed that SUI is a coin with extremely high volatility in a bull market. High volatility means great opportunities, but also high risk. A 15% rise in a day is normal, and a 12% drawdown in a day is normal. If you're not mentally prepared, it's easy to be washed out by the market. So, I've set a few principles for myself. First, don't chase high prices just because of a big bullish candle. Second, don't assume the trend is over just because of a single pullback. Third, after making a profit, you must have a take-profit plan, not just fantasizing about higher levels. Many people think taking profit means 'not optimistic about SUI.' I completely disagree. Taking profit isn't giving up faith, but protecting profits. The biggest enemy in a bull market isn't selling too much, but giving back all profits. Looking back at past bull markets, how many people doubled their accounts but couldn't afford to let go$ETH
At the beginning of September, there was a significant inflow of funds into crypto ETFs
Data shows that on September 3, crypto ETFs had a net inflow of about $863 million
Among them, the Ethereum ETF absorbed about $140 million
Additionally, for the week ending September 4
The combined net inflow for US spot $BTC and $ETH ETFs was about $1.2 billion
Of which the $BTC ETF was about $986.7 million
The $ETH ETF was about $215.3 million
So now an interesting phenomenon is
Prices are weak, but institutional funds have not completely exited
This means the market is more like undergoing a chip redistribution,
rather than fully entering a bear market escape mode.Let's talk about something that has been ingrained in me after playing cards for over a decade: the real money isn't made on every hand, but on those few big hands you've waited a long time for and finally get. Beginners sit down wanting to play every hand, always thinking that not betting means no chance; veterans fold most of the time, saving their chips until the odds and win rate overwhelmingly favor them, then they bet hard. Trading is exactly the same. In a year, there are only a few truly worthwhile opportunities to go all in. The rest of the time, you should stay empty-handed, protect your principal, and not get tempted by the market's teasing. The money lost from frequent in-and-out trades often exceeds the sum of your few losing trades. In the past month, how many times have you encountered truly worthwhile opportunities to place heavy bets? Received, I'll help you check and adjust the content length.
XRP whales buying up, ETF outflows—who is bottom fishing?
｜Yi Jie talks crypto · 9.13

The trading gap between whales and retail investors has soared to 45.8%, with big players completely crushing retail. The proportion of super whales holding over 100 million tokens rose from 10.66% to 11.99%, with big players cumulatively buying over 642 million tokens in August. Exchange balances dropped to 1.6 billion tokens, hitting a seven-year low, indicating a depletion of selling pressure.
ETFs are cooling down: average daily inflows in September are only in the millions, far less than the weekly average of 20 million in August. But on September 8, while BTC/ETH/SOL all fell, only the XRP ETF recorded positive inflows.
Conclusion: Chips are concentrating from retail and hesitant institutions to steadfast holders. Whales hold 68.5% of circulating tokens, the highest in eight years. Below $1.30 is the whale accumulation zone, with positions unchanged. What to watch now
First, whether $100 can be reclaimed. SOL needs to close above $102 on the daily chart to reverse last night's short-term bearish structure. If it can't, $93 and $90 are the next targets.
Second, the sign of the funding rate. The current funding rate is still positive, about 0.0025%, meaning longs are still paying to hold positions. If the rate turns negative, it indicates shorts start paying, possibly triggering a short squeeze rebound. If the rate remains positive but the price keeps falling, it means longs are holding on hard—that's a more dangerous signal.
Third, the next batch of FTX unlocks. Every time Alameda/FTX addresses perform unstaking actions, short-term selling pressure on SOL rises. This is not speculation but a pattern repeatedly verified over the past six months.
Fourth, ETF capital flows. On September 11, SOL spot ETFs saw a net outflow of $278,800, and on September 8, a net outflow of $667,700. Institutional buying is cooling down. Compared to the hundreds of millions of dollars inflow in single months in 2025, the bottoming support has clearly weakened. $ETH $SOL $BTC #PPI、CPI公布后，多家机构上调9月加息预期 #BTC现货ETF三日流出近4.5亿美元 #财报观察员：甲骨文AI云收入增121% BTC and ETH both increased volume, but open interest diverged with one decreasing and the other increasing
From 05:00 to 06:00, BTC and ETH rose by 0.110% and 0.133% respectively, with trading volume increasing by 42.39% and 43.73% sequentially; however, open interest split two ways: BTC decreased by 0.115%, while ETH increased by 0.589%.
BTC closed at 77254, ETH closed at 2524.01. Spot changes were similar, but new leverage currently favors ETH.
ETH closed above 2528.75 with open interest holding near $1.846 billion, divergence continues; if it falls below 2520.03 or open interest drops below $1.836 billion, watch for invalidation. Which change would confirm ETH leading?

#BTC #ETH When the CPI data came out, inflation exceeded expectations, causing a wave of volatility in the crypto market. Green Hair immediately cleared all the orders in his account, leaving only a little over 3,000 US dollars left. The outrageous part was: 4 trades, 3 profitable, but in the end, the total account actually ended up losing money! The cruelty of the leverage market was clearly reflected 👇 ✅ in his account. BTC: Two major 100x long orders, seriously injured. He opened two 100x long orders near 77,400, eagerly hoping for a positive CPI boost and holding out for nearly the entire day. But the inflation data was disappointing, the market reversed, and he had to painfully cut losses at 76,300. Just these two BTC orders cost him $2,387. ✅ ETH: Made a small profit, very clear-headed. Five 100x short positions, entered at 2630, took profits at 2610, and only made $83. But I actually think this trade is textbook: catch short-term fluctuations after data is realized, take a little and then exit, never fall in love with the market. ✅ ZEC: Old trade to save the day, recover a big profit. Still the ZEC he's most familiar with: 50x short position, entered at 1080, closed at 1140, and made $929 in one go. This trade almost filled half the hole, but unfortunately still couldn't cover the big pit in BTC. This August CPI data: year-on-year 3.4%, core CPI month-on-month 0.3%, higher than market expectations. The probability of the Fed raising rates in September has soared again, and the overall market environment has always been unfriendly to bulls. Earning three orders can't match one heavy position of 100Here's a bigger hidden storyline for those only focused on the $BTC K-line. In the past two days at the BRICS summit, the central banks of Indonesia and India have been discussing expanding local currency settlements, currency swaps, and enabling cross-border QR code payments. The New Delhi Declaration is loaded with subtext about de-dollarization. Even more striking is Axios's statement: the U.S. is losing its status as the "default option"—others no longer default to saving money, buying weapons, or sending students to the U.S. This won't make the coin rise a bit in the short term, as the mountain of interest rate hikes still weighs heavily. But looking long-term, the gradual dilution of the dollar's credit is the real long-term narrative for Bitcoin. Short-term bearish, long-term bullish—don't confuse the time scales. Which time scale do you trust more? Once $BTC's dominance falls below this rising trend, altcoins will experience a "parabolic" explosion.
I've seen this pattern before. The dominance chart doesn't lie—when $BTC peaks and starts to decline, capital quickly rotates. The $BCH structure is forming. Watch for the trendline breakout, then make your corresponding moves.
Stay disciplined. Don't rush ahead. Wait for the breakout to be confirmed, then ride the momentum. The bull market season (altcoin season) is not a "hope"—$ETH—it's a cyclical phase, and it's coming.$TAO coiling at 232, inside the 230-237 consolidation band after the August run to 276.

The signal is getting clearer: investors appear to be pricing USDC’s expansion into $CRCL.The current $BTC market is really a tug-of-war around the thousand-dollar range.
The price stuck at 78,000 is the short-term hurdle to overcome.
If it falls below 78,000 and holds steady, there is hope for short-term strength, possibly reaching 80,000 to test it.
But if it repeatedly fails to break through and instead drops below around 76,000, that needs close attention.
No need to guess daily ups and downs; wait for clear signals at key levels before making moves.
This "waiting for the wind" rhythm suits the current market better than constant back-and-forth turmoil. Flip over my position card—most likely it's still empty. Next Tuesday is the FOMC meeting, and the probability of a rate hike has already been pushed to 90%. This is a classic binary card: when flipped, it's either up or down, with a very narrow middle ground. With such a card, going all in on one direction isn't bravery; it's handing over your principal to a single deal. I'd rather go into this weekend empty-handed and save my bullets until after the reveal. With $BTC's current volatility, the small profits you make simply can't cover the cost of misstepping on a binary event once. The most expensive lesson in trading is actually: not betting is itself a decision. Are you guys going into this week with an empty position waiting for the reveal, or have you already taken your side?The ghost of FTX still looms overhead
There is also a slow variable that many people overlook.
On August 12, wallet addresses associated with the FTX/Alameda bankruptcy consortium completed the unstaking of about 201,700 SOL, valued at approximately $15.2 million, which were then transferred in batches to multiple BitGo custody accounts.
On September 12, Alameda/FTX addresses unstaked and transferred another 202,700 SOL.
This is part of FTX's $12.7 billion debt repayment plan, with $5.1 billion still outstanding.
Each batch of unlocked SOL is a ticking time bomb hanging over the market. Will creditors sell the SOL immediately after receiving it? No one knows. But the market prices in this uncertainty in advance.
A whale with 20x leverage is putting itself on the line
The most intriguing scene happens in the derivatives market.
The USD-denominated open interest (OI) of SOL has dropped from $7.7 billion last year to $4.04 billion, a 47.5% decrease. But in terms of SOL, the OI has actually increased by 21.6%, reaching 52.87 million SOL.
What does this mean? Traders’ SOL exposure is increasing, but because the coin price has fallen, the USD figure looks smaller. $SOL $ETH $BTC #PPI、CPI公布后，多家机构上调9月加息预期 #BTC现货ETF三日流出近4.5亿美元 #财报观察员：甲骨文AI云收入增121% 1. BTC is still stuck around $77K–$80K. BTC has yet to confirm a breakout; the $81.7K area is considered a key resistance to confirm new upward momentum. 2. Capital flow shows signs of shifting from BTC to ETH. Spot Bitcoin ETF has recorded 4 consecutive days of outflows, while Ethereum ETF attracted about $216.4M and maintained a weekly inflow streak. This is a notable divergence. 3. Altcoins are recovering but it’s not yet Altseason. ETH and SOL have outperformed BTC in the last 24 hours, while BTC dominance is decreasing nIt rose, but it also seems like it didn't. This is the current state of $BTC and $ETH.
CPI month-on-month acceleration cools down rate cut trades, while the shadow of rate hikes looms again; $BTC spot ETFs see continuous net outflows, and institutional positions are shrinking. With two mountains pressing down, the rebound naturally can't go far. Every rally on the chart feels like a test, volume can't keep up, there's insufficient follow-up buying, and the highs are taken by shorts. ETH is weaker, exchange rates are sluggish, and the ecosystem narrative temporarily can't drive the price.
What will support it next? Nothing but emotional repair after overselling and some funds' obsession with cyclical rotation. But sentiment is a consumable and can't sustain a trend. Without a macro turnaround, ETF inflows, or stablecoin increments, a rebound is just a rebound. Don't mistake a bounce for a reversal, don't mistake a bull trap for a start.
Next, watch three things: whether CPI and PPI confirm cooling, whether ETF bleeding ends, and whether BTC can hold key moving averages with volume. Missing one means only light positions can be taken. Until these two macro blades fall, staying alive is more important than making money.👊

Still couldn't resist opening a long position on $LAB. But objectively speaking, this round of the market is very likely nearing its end. The main force will retreat after taking profits from this wave, combined with the current high liquidation rate, making it very difficult to rebound again.
Don't expect another big rally from $LAB; at most, there will be short-term pulse rebounds, and the probability of it becoming a top-tier meme coin again is almost zero.
Added 20,000 $DOGE long positions. DOGE is about to have a space launch event, lightly positioning to play the market. Compared to LAB, Dogecoin can be held patiently for the long term and will sooner or later see a major breakout.
However, the risks of DOGE must be taken seriously: the spike amplitude is extremely terrifying, and the volatility intensity is no less than altcoins. When setting liquidation points, be sure to leave a large safety margin and try not to preset a stop-loss price; this must not be taken lightly.
Interest rate hike expectations continue to heat up, with the current market pricing in an 85% probability of a Fed rate hike in September.
Interestingly, most Wall Street traders choose to hold their positions, and many veteran traders still believe the Fed will keep rates unchanged next week.
Breaking down this inflation data reveals that the source of the data spike is concentrated in energy and gasoline components. Core inflation itself has not completely spiraled out of control.
This creates a market divergence: the futures market is wildly betting on a rate hike, but many professional traders believe that a short-term inflation rebound driven solely by energy may not force the Fed to immediately raise rates. $BTC
