BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, and BNB are all pulling back, but there's an interesting data point:
BTC price has dropped back near 84K, yet the capital flow hasn't completely dried up.
Recently, the US spot BTC ETF still saw significant capital inflows, with a net inflow of about $715 million on September 22nd. (Reddit)
So now we need to look at the five coins separately:
BTC: 84K, the depth of the pullback depends on capital support
ETH: 2.68K, fighting around 2.66K
SOL: 115, still showing clear resilience
XRP: 1.50, the most volatile in the short term
BNB: 766, 800 remains a key resistance level above
If ETF funds continue to flow in, and BTC is just normally retracing from around 86K,
then this is a different story from "capital running away."
The truly dangerous combination would be:
ETF inflows decline + BTC breaks below 83K + ETH/SOL simultaneously see heavy selling volume.
We haven't reached that point yet.
So what I care about more is not whether today is red or green.
But whether anyone is stepping in to buy during the pullback.🔥"Chives Watching the Market Diary: $BTC Squats, $ETH Revises Resume, $SOL Slides While Humming"
First thing in the morning, I check crypto prices more eagerly than the weather forecast. $BTC is around 84,400, down over 2% in 24h, dropping from 87,000 to 84,000, like an elevator reaching the top then descending two floors. I was about to post "Breakthrough Bull Return," but seeing the calm market: immediate support at 81,850, main support at 78,500; resistance above at 86,910 first, then aiming for 90,300. This move for BTC isn’t a crash, it’s just catching breath after a strong surge, RSI at 63, MACD bars narrowing, suitable for dollar-cost averaging but not for all-in.
$ETH is at 2,685–2,690, down about 2.4%–2.8%. Technically, the 2,650–2,700 range should hold today; if it breaks below 2,600, it’s time to reapply for the job. On the upside, 2,750 is the Bollinger upper band, 2,807 is the 30-day high; only passing 2,800 counts as a promotion to a full-time excellent employee. It’s not like a coin, more like a mid-level internet company: plenty of on-chain activity, slow salary payments, the boss is the ecosystem, and KPI is TVL.
$SOL is about 114.5, down 3%, sliding back from the ambitious 117–120 range to 114, with support at 110–113 and resistance at 119–122. Riding this one is like taking a high-speed elevator in a residential complex: fast up, sudden stops, and you still praise "such efficiency." Today’s takeaway: watch BTC for macro and ETF flows, ETH for support and Bollinger upper band, SOL for speed and liquidation risk; be happy if all three lines are green, and don’t add positions if all three are red, a self-mocking strategy.The US Dollar Index DXY has been rising continuously since the interest rate hike was implemented, breaking through the 101 mark, putting pressure on the prices of $XAU and $BTC.
BTC has been performing well recently, mainly because the crypto market is running an independent trend and is less affected by the appreciation of the dollar;
In contrast, gold has been quite weak recently, with its price consistently running along the lower boundary of the range.
Lately, I've been emphasizing to everyone that you should play where there is volatility; with gold's disorderly oscillation, entering to speculate is just giving market makers money.
On the other hand, the crypto market has been much smoother these past two weeks, it really is our original home 😎
#高利率下，黄金还能走多远？ BTC, ETH, XRP, SOL, and BNB all pulled back simultaneously, but what really matters isn't how much they dropped.
What matters is—after BTC surged above 86K, it returned to around 84K today, and the other major coins cooled off as well.
Here are the current levels for the five:
BTC: 84.3K, first watch if 83K can hold
ETH: 2.68K, 2.66K is the short-term key level
XRP: 1.50, can't afford to lose around 1.48
SOL: 115, 110-112 is the support observation zone
BNB: 766, around 750 is the bull-bear dividing line
At this moment, the biggest fear isn't a pullback.
The biggest fear is BTC, ETH, and SOL falling, but funds not flowing back into BTC.
That would indicate a decline in market risk appetite.
Conversely, if BTC holds near 84K and ETH/SOL lead in recovering losses, it could mean funds are starting to seek resilience again.
So don't rush to call bull or bear today.
Focus on one signal first:
BTC stabilizes, altcoins move first.
If this happens, the market rotation "flavor" emerges.BTC, ETH, XRP, SOL, BNB—looking at all five together, the vibe starts to feel different.
After BTC surged near 87K and then pulled back to 84K, there's a change to watch out for: BTC is no longer charging ahead nonstop; will the funds start looking for the next stop?
Currently:
BTC: around 84K, 87K is resistance
ETH: 2.67K, needs to break near 2.8K
XRP: 1.49, clearly stronger than BTC in the short term
SOL: 114, key resistance near 120
BNB: 766, closely watching the 800 round number
Even more interesting, in the past 7 days XRP is up about 14%, SOL about 15%, and BTC about 10%. (CoinMarketCap)
So I’m not rushing to judge whether it’s a bull market or not; I’m just watching one signal:
BTC stalls after the rally, while ETH, XRP, and SOL start taking turns to lead.
If BTC holds 83K-84K and altcoins continue to gain volume, the market might really be shifting from a “Bitcoin market” to a “mainstream coin rotation market.”
But if BTC falls below 83K and several major coins simultaneously see volume-driven sell-offs, then it’s not rotation, it’s a fund retreat.
These levels coming up are more useful than just shouting “up” or “down.” $ONE This surge might not be a rebirth but the final liquidity frenzy.
A once-glorious Layer1 has now reached the point of mainnet migration.
Recently, $ONE surged sharply in a short time, with a 7-day increase exceeding 180% at one point, and trading volume exploding, but the underlying logic warrants caution.
📌 Fundamentals: The ecosystem is being restructured
Harmony experienced the Horizon cross-chain bridge attack involving nearly $100 million, and this year faced an unauthorized minting event where about 4 billion ONE were created, raising market concerns over supply and security.
📌 Capital aspect: More like short-term speculation
The price surge accompanied by massive turnover and trading volume far exceeding market cap indicates large amounts of capital engaged in short-term arbitrage rather than long-term value investment.
📌 Technical aspect: Risks after high-volume surge
When a project’s rise is driven by sentiment without sustained ecosystem support, chasing the highs often leads to becoming the last liquidity.
Big brother $BTC’s market continues, with many altcoin opportunities.
But remember:
A surge does not equal a reversal, and a story does not equal value.
Understanding capital flow is more important than chasing candlesticks.
#BTC冲高回落，市场轮动开始了吗？ $BTC $ONE If you feel stressed, you can take a look at Changxin's largest short position
▶︎ Shorted from $6.5 pre-market to $9.16
▶︎ Held the position for a full two months, paying $5.24 million in funding fees
▶︎ Unrealized loss once reached as high as $11.4 million
Has it recovered? No, it started cutting losses... Today he finally initiated a TWAP buy order of 2 million $CXMT tokens (about $17 million). If fully executed, it will close out most of the position I have to say, it's better not to touch altcoin contracts at all—they're just impossible to guard against.
This morning, on a whim, I opened a short position on $PEPE to test it out.
Unexpectedly, after half an hour without watching, I lost one-tenth of my principal.
Who can bear that? The altcoin price movements are just inexplicable and chaotic.
Looking at this trend, pepe still needs to probe lower; this rally hasn't even retraced yet.
On the other hand, I was too greedy myself; 10x leverage on altcoins is too risky.
Honestly, I didn't expect this wave; it's really best not to touch altcoins.
#BTC冲高回落，市场轮动开始了吗？ 9.24 BTC Data Overview
Long positions were liquidated heavily, PMI triggered a market crash.
Current price is about 84,340 USDT, down approximately 2.2% in 24h, cumulatively falling nearly 4% from this week's high of 87,400. Long liquidations reached $444 million, the highest since September 15, with about $380 million concentrated around the PMI data release window, long positions accounting for about 77% of the day's total liquidations. The September composite PMI surged from 56.0 to 58.4, US Treasury yields broke through 5%, and Fed Governor Barr hinted that "further policy adjustments may be needed."
ETF funds flowed in against the trend. On September 21 and 22, US spot BTC ETFs had net inflows of $999 million and $714.7 million respectively, totaling about $1.714 billion over two days. Morgan Stanley's MSBT ETF received a single inflow of 1,100 BTC (about $93.89 million), the largest inflow since its inception. On-chain, about 21,600 BTC flowed out of exchanges in the past 24 hours, with Binance net outflowing 15,200 BTC.
Technically, focus is on $84,000. Glassnode points out that the largest supply held by long-term holders is concentrated in the $84,000-$85,000 range: holding above this level could target $96,700, while breaking below would bring $77,000 back into view. ETF inflow data for Wednesday will be released on Thursday, which is key to judging whether spot buying can be sustained.1425 BTC, held for a while, earned 1.5 million.
I calculated, this position is less than one percent.
A 119 million portfolio was fully closed just for this small profit, what's the point?
Either they found holding it tiring, or they think there's no more profit above.
Short-term traders understand this feeling best—not that they are bearish, but the cost-performance ratio is no longer worthwhile.
What really caught my attention is that after closing, they really left.
No reversal, no leftover position.
This whale is clearly saying: I'm withdrawing first, you guys play.
Alright, I'll wait and see who takes over this 119 million worth of assets next.
#BTC冲高回落，市场轮动开始了吗？
#Strategy再度增持，财库同步加仓 #ZEC巨鲸3.8万枚空单平仓，亏损超3500万美元 $BTC To be honest, @BITFOOTS_ at this price, I'm really a bit disappointed.
I was originally hoping it could revive the glory of $ZEC NFTs, but now looking at it... it's somewhat of a letdown. Maybe the hype for ZEC chain NFTs has indeed passed.
Some might say, isn't there still a 0.1 ZEC floor price? But don't forget, there are only 303 BITFOOTS in total. A 0.1 ZEC floor means the entire series, calculated at the floor price, only amounts to 30.3 ZEC. Honestly, this scale is hard to support much imagination.
The last promising one left on the ZEC chain is @zkghosts_, currently in the blind auction phase with a starting price of 0.01 ZEC. Let's see how this last seedling performs.#BTC rallies then falls back, has market rotation begun?
BTC rallied then fell back, the market has started rotating. After Bitcoin surged to a high of $88,000, it began to pull back. On one hand, many profit-taking funds chose to exit after continuous gains; combined with macro pressure from the Fed's rate hike expectations, it is now oscillating after the pullback.
Macro expectations have marginally weakened, the market is reassessing the pace of rate cuts, US Treasury yields have rebounded, suppressing risk asset valuations, and the liquidity expectations that originally drove the market are cooling down.
High-level profit-taking is concentrated, long-term holders who held coins all along are taking profits in batches at the new highs, forming the first layer of selling pressure.
Once the price stagnates, long contracts piled up at high levels start triggering stop losses, chain liquidations further amplify the decline, which is what the market calls concentrated deleveraging. This also explains why the correction speed is much faster than the rise.
$ETH $BTC $ZEC #美伊恢复接触，风险溢价会降吗？ #财报观察员：好市多Q4财报即将公布 If you are still only focusing on the golden cross of moving averages on technical charts or indulging in on-chain whale transfer alerts, you are very likely to lose direction in this cycle. Reality is becoming increasingly stark: Bitcoin's trend closely follows the Nasdaq, Ethereum's volatility is tightly constrained by inflation data, and the net inflow of spot ETFs directly dominates every rally and dump. We have to admit that the narrative logic of cryptocurrency has completely shifted—it is evolving from a purely stock speculative game into a top-tier leveraged asset for institutional funds to hedge risks and capture liquidity premiums amid global sovereign credit stress and fiat currency credibility erosion. The macro factors currently having a profound impact on the cryptocurrency market mainly focus on four dimensions: global central bank liquidity, geopolitical and safe-haven narratives, sovereign debt pressure, and regulatory compliance frameworks: 1. Federal Reserve monetary policy and global liquidity cycle • Interest rate cut pace and terminal rate game: Crypto assets are inherently highly sensitive to global risk-free interest rates. The Fed's interest rate path expectations (such as whether the pace of rate cuts slows or neutral rate expectations rise) directly determine the abundance of dollar liquidity. When dot plots or inflation data trigger repeated shifts in rate expectations, the crypto market's high beta risk asset characteristics tend to be rapidly amplified. • Quantitative tightening (QT) process and overnight reverse repurchase agreements (RRP): As the Fed's balance sheet reduction progresses, the thickness of bank reserves and liquidity buffers in the financial system directly influences the leverage appetite of off-exchange speculative funds.The White House has welcomed its most investment-savvy president
According to the latest disclosure records from the U.S. Office of Government Ethics (OGE), Donald Trump purchased MicroStrategy (MSTR) stock valued between $50,000 and $100,000 on July 27 this year, Beijing time. A few days earlier, he had made a small position purchase ranging from $1,001 to $15,000. These two intensive transactions matched the scale of his single investment on February 12 this year, making it one of his largest publicly disclosed crypto-related stock operations of the year.
MicroStrategy currently holds the largest amount of Bitcoin among publicly listed companies worldwide, with BitcoinTreasuries data showing its reserves have reached 846,000 coins. The timing of this position increase was quite precise, coinciding with the stock recording nearly a 30% rise over five consecutive trading days and an approximate 37% increase for the month during a strong upward trend.#美联储官员密集发声，加息还要持续多久？
The recent round of collective speeches by officials centers on one core issue: high interest rates will not be eased until inflation has firmly declined.
The market now prices a 70% probability of another 25bp rate hike at the October meeting, with many voting members openly stating that another rate hike before the end of the year is not ruled out. The Federal Reserve's logic is very clear: U.S. consumer and employment data remain resilient, combined with Middle East tensions pushing up oil prices and AI expansion driving demand for commodities, inflation carries a constant risk of rebounding. Compared to worrying about economic weakness, the Fed is now more afraid of inflation making a comeback.
But one thing must be distinguished: officials' hawkish rhetoric does not mean rate hikes will continue indefinitely. The end of rate hikes depends on two hard indicators:
First, core PCE and CPI must decline steadily for several months, genuinely approaching the 2% target;
Second, economic heat must clearly cool down, with sustained signals of slowing consumption and employment data.
As long as these two points are not met, "higher interest rates maintained longer" remains the market's main theme, and the timeline for rate cuts will be continuously postponed.$BTC has started "weaving" again, and this kind of low-volume flat trading really tests patience! 🧘♂️
In the past few hours, BTC has been grinding back and forth within a narrow range of less than $200 between 84300 and 84500, with the latest quote at 84351.
The moving averages have completely "twisted into a single rope," with short-term long and short costs highly overlapping, and the sense of direction is almost zero.
The upper MA60 is at 84491, MA120 at 85405, with these two long-term moving averages continuing to press down, making the rebound ceiling quite clear.
The most obvious signal is volume — the 15-minute trading volume has shrunk to only 15.7 BTC, which is a typical "lowest volume sideways" pattern.
Such extreme volume contraction usually means a turning point window is approaching, and the market is waiting for a catalyst.
In terms of trading rhythm, keep an eye on two boundaries:
A volume breakout above 84500-84600 is needed for a short-term rebound space to open, with a target near 85500.
If it breaks down below 84200, it may retest 84000 or even 83500. During sideways phases, frequent trading is most to be avoided; wait for a volume breakout before following, as the success rate will be much higher. Just saw the news that the US and Iran talked for 3 hours
Both sides exchanged statements from a distance, one said it was "productive," the other immediately said no surrender. As a result, crude oil kept fluctuating between $98 and $103, playing with our nerves. Honestly, geopolitical issues are not that easy to resolve; no substantial agreement was signed, it's all just talk.
What really concerns me is BTC. Logically, geopolitical easing should be positive, but BTC directly broke below 85,000. The US-Iran positive news is still there, yet BTC fell below 85,000 first. This wave of selling pressure is indeed a bit hard to hide.
Actually, the logic is simple: oil prices can't go down, inflation won't come down, and the shadow of Fed rate hikes remains. The big sword of high interest rates hangs over our heads; big money simply doesn't dare to push the market now. The so-called "positive news" is just a false proposition in the face of macro pressure.
Geopolitical news changes daily, all based on emotional games. When oil prices truly stabilize and BTC consolidates with low volume around 84,000, then considering slowly buying in won't be too late.
#美伊恢复接触，风险溢价会降吗？ #BTC冲高回落，市场轮动开始了吗？ $CL $BZ I am the mid-term intelligence analyst.
Currently, the market's long-short battle is extremely exciting.
On the positive side, the US spot Bitcoin ETF surged by 999 million in a single day, turning positive year-to-date. BlackRock's IBIT has attracted over 1.02 billion in four days. Strategy added another 950 coins, with total reserves reaching 846,000 coins. Surprisingly, Trump bought its stock in July. Glassnode calls this the shallowest bear market in history, expecting a 3-5x increase this cycle. Traditional institutions like Raiffeisen have also entered, with options expiring on Friday at 18 billion, led by calls.
However, "potential challenges" cannot be ignored. The US 10-year Treasury yield broke 5%, hitting a 19-year high, putting macro pressure. Liquid Network suffered a hack loss of 4,000 BTC. More critically, 30-day spot demand remains negative (-180,000 BTC), so the rise may be due to reduced selling pressure rather than strong buying. The threat of quantum decryption also emerges in 2028.
In the mid-term view, liquidity is warming but concerns remain. Friday's options settlement and macro interest rates are the biggest short-term variables. Buying on dips requires close attention to ETF sustainability!

#BTC冲高回落，市场轮动开始了吗？
#美伊恢复接触，风险溢价会降吗？ The most fragile link has never been the direction, but the small position held late at night. Do you think the calm during the day can safely carry you through to the close? These past two days, I've been watching the market with an indescribable feeling—on the surface, it's calm, but underneath, there are hidden currents squeezing through. Prices are stuck grinding back and forth within a range; no one dares to chase upwards, and no one wants to admit a mistake going down. Both bulls and bears are waiting for the other side to blink first. The longer this sticky balance drags on, the more likely there will be a sudden move in the latter half of the night.
Let's talk about the real main character, which tonight is not in the crypto world. The 10-year US Treasury yield surged intraday to 5.135%, the highest in 19 years, and oil prices touched $103. Non-yielding assets are collectively taking a hit; gold fell below 4300, Bitcoin briefly dropped back to 83785 during the session, with $280 million long positions liquidated. The fear and greed index fell from an extreme greed level of 78 down to 71, showing sentiment is cooling off.
Bitcoin is now stuck around 84500, slightly in the red. The market looks supported, but active buy orders are thin, and volume can't keep up. That hollow feeling at the top is becoming more obvious. 85000 is a threshold; if lost, the next stops are the liquidation-heavy zones at 83500 and 80500.
Ethereum is hovering around 2670, basically without its own story, completely following Bitcoin's lead. Once Bitcoin runs out of breath, Ethereum often falls even harder. Don't forget FTX and Alameda just transferred 27,400 ETH to market makers, worth over $75 million. Don't be fooled by that small rebound.
OKB is moving sideways with pitifully low volatility, almost a copy-paste of the broader market, with no independent trend to speak of. ZEC, on the other hand, is reversingSeeing a screenshot of a $ORDI profit and loss shared by a group friend really struck a chord. 2175 ORDI, average cost 57u, current price only 4.87u, the cost at the time was over 123,000u, currently a loss of nearly 120,000u. Judging by the price, the purchase time is estimated to be June 2024. If bought then, roughly 1.8 $BTC could have been purchased. Buying BTC has limited gains, but at least the principal remains. Now losing so much is truly heartbreaking. Early ORDI players had considerable profits, but those who entered after the hype were all trapped without exception and lost money. Choosing any asset, entry timing is very important. An asset rising 10x or 50x early on does not mean latecomers have the same opportunity. Some coins fall from 80 to 1 and may never recover, like $LUNA. Some assets will hit new highs, some will plateau for a long time, and some will gradually be forgotten by the market. Past glory does not guarantee future trends. If this ORDI player had considered adjusting their position after a 20% or 30% drop, or given up on the asset after a 50% drop and cut losses in time, they wouldn’t be left with just over 2000u now. Still, this player probably believed deep down it would always bounce back, but things didn’t go as hoped. Of course, this is not the final outcome for ORDI, but do holders have enough time and patience to wait for the unknown? The hardest thing in crypto is not picking the next 50x, but avoiding those assets that never recover. If you don’t encounter a 50x, then you simply don’t make that money.ETH pulled back after hitting 2790, volume didn't keep up
First, let's talk about the position
Current price 2684.88, 24-hour high 2788.70, low 2635.23
The 4-hour candle closed at 2685, with a high and low of only 2693 and 2679, volatility is compressed
The daily chart is turning up, high 2699 low 2635, turnover 41867
4-hour volume is only 2275, but daily volume exceeded 40,000
This indicates the momentum to push higher was yesterday, today is digesting
Support and resistance
4-hour support at 2679 and 2668, resistance at 2693 and 2699
Daily support at 2635 and 2648, resistance at 2699 and 2766
Funding rate 0.0042%, longs paying a small fee, sentiment is not exuberant
The 60-period range rose from 2358 to 2808, now back to the upper-middle range
So my judgment is that ETH is consolidating narrowly below 2700, 2680 is the key short-term battleground for bulls and bears
If it breaks down decisively, look to 2635; only a break above 2700 can erase yesterday's upper shadow
Position size within 30%, wait for a breakout to add
$BTC $ETH #ETH#美债收益率全面走高，高利率为何难降？
US Treasury yields across all maturities have surged, with the 10-year briefly breaking 5.1%. The market has fully priced in higher-for-longer interest rates, not simply because the Federal Reserve is unwilling to cut rates, but due to three practical constraints.
First, the tail of inflation remains stubbornly persistent.
Although the US CPI has fallen from its peak, it is still significantly above the 2% target. The volatile Middle East situation continues to disrupt oil prices, with energy costs ready to push prices up again at any time. Coupled with the expansion of the AI industry driving strong corporate investment and resilient consumer spending, there are no clear signs of economic weakening. If the Fed cuts rates prematurely, inflation could easily rebound. Officials have recently issued hawkish statements collectively, and the market is even repricing the possibility of a new round of rate hikes.
Second, supply pressure from the fiscal deficit.
US total debt has surpassed 40 trillion, with massive annual fiscal gaps forcing the Treasury to continuously issue large amounts of government bonds. Overseas buyers are steadily reducing their holdings of US debt, leaving insufficient market funding. Supply far exceeds demand, bonds are being sold off, and yields are rising passively. This has created a negative feedback loop: the higher the interest rates, the greater the government's interest expenses, which forces more bond issuance to finance, further pushing up the rate baseline.
Third, massive capital diversion.
AI giants are aggressively borrowing to expand, flooding the market with long-term corporate bonds. Long-term funds such as insurance and pensions are being diverted to corporate financing markets and no longer blindly allocate to US Treasuries. Global central banks continue to increase gold reserves, further weakening the buying power for US debt.Just saw the latest data: in the past 24 hours, the entire network liquidated $545 million, with 126,870 people being liquidated.
Long position liquidations: $444 million
Short position liquidations: $101 million
Longs are 4.4 times the shorts; last night’s rapid decline cleared high-leverage positions in the market. The largest single liquidation was an Ethereum $ETH liquidation of $10 million.
The main reason for last night’s drop, according to news, is the uncertainty in the Persian Gulf and the rekindling of rate hike expectations.
Another important judgment: when social media is full of various profit-sharing posts, danger may already be approaching. Yesterday was exactly this situation, and I already felt the short-term danger.
But seeing the gap to the target is as high as Mount Everest; next time remember to trust yourself and retreat immediately if the feeling is off. BTC holds 84000, ETH breaks through 2700, should you cut your ETH?
#BTC冲高回落，市场轮动开始了吗？ #财报观察员：好市多Q4财报即将公布
BTC at 84258 down 2.73%, holding 84000; ETH at 2681 down 3.08%, directly breaking through 2700. You need to think carefully about whether to cut your ETH.
$BTC is the anchor; only if 84000 holds can the whole market have a bottom, if it doesn't collapse, ETH still has hope; $ETH is high beta, with ecosystem funds flowing out and falling more than BTC, but it has already dropped from 2755 to 2681, with a short-term possibility of an oversold rebound. The difference is clear: BTC is the anchor, ETH is high beta following the fall. ETH's drop is not due to its own problems but dragged down by the market, this kind of drop most easily causes people to cut losses at the bottom.
If BTC holds 84000 and interest rate hike expectations are digested, ETH's oversold rebound will be strongest, don't cut at the bottom; if BTC breaks 84000 and continues to fall, ETH will first look at 2650, if broken then 2600, cut if necessary. If 84000 doesn't break, hold and wait for a rebound; if it breaks, stop loss at 2650. Don't hesitate about cutting at 2681, setting a stop loss order is better than anything else.Bitcoin faced pressure in early trading, falling back to $84,000, as U.S. Treasury yields broke 5%, triggering a large-scale long liquidation
$BTC $ETH $ZEC
On the morning of September 24, Bitcoin continued its overnight decline, trading around $84,273, down 2.23% within 24 hours. Intraday, it briefly dipped to $83,785, breaking below the $84,000 mark. The U.S. Dollar Index surpassed 101, and spot gold simultaneously fell below $4,300, with non-interest-bearing assets broadly under pressure.
The direct trigger for this round of decline came from macroeconomic factors. The U.S. September composite PMI preliminary reading rose to 58.4, the highest since July 2021, pushing the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield above 5%. Strong economic data reinforced expectations that the Federal Reserve would maintain a tightening stance, leading to massive long liquidations in the cryptocurrency market. Over 120,000 traders were liquidated within 24 hours, with total losses reaching $510 million.
However, institutional funds are still positioning counter-trend. Morgan Stanley's MSBT Bitcoin ETF received 1,100 BTC from Coinbase Prime, valued at approximately $93.89 million, marking the largest single inflow since the fund's inception. The U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs have net bought $1.6 billion cumulatively over three days, indicating that large institutions are not rushing to take profits.
#BTC冲高回落，市场轮动开始了吗？ #美伊恢复接触，风险溢价会降吗？ The upward expectation comes from the China-US meeting. Currently, the good news has been fully priced in, which is bad news. This pullback is synchronized with the US stock ES and Nasdaq futures, showing a false breakout followed by a retracement, leading BTC to weaken in sync. The price has hit a new high, and the daily MACD shows a bearish divergence. It has not yet fallen back to the pre-breakout range of 8.28, so no false breakout confirmation signal has appeared yet.
Two scenario simulations:
Scenario 1: Healthy pullback (baseline expectation)
The daily chart uses sideways movement instead of a drop to digest the bearish divergence, pulling back to hold 83500~82800. Finally, the price quickly recovers the support level, breaks below and then recovers the consolidation low, and then restarts the upward movement.
Scenario 2: Pullback failure (risk scenario)
If after consolidation the upward momentum is weak and the key support is effectively broken, the price returns to the previous consolidation box. Stop loss immediately to avoid a several-thousand-dollar level retracement and prevent holding through a roller coaster ride.
After a short-term correction, there is another round of upward speculation expected from late October to mid-November during the election period.
#BTC冲高回落，市场轮动开始了吗？ #美伊恢复接触，风险溢价会降吗？ #财报观察员：好市多Q4财报即将公布 $BTC $ETH The early morning pullback was very decisive, with the three major giants collectively retreating, and the short squeeze momentum clearly exhausted. Below is the latest market summary of the three major giants as of early morning September 24:
📊 Network-wide Liquidations and Sentiment
The scale of liquidations across the network has continued to expand over the past 24 hours, with over 90,000 people forced out, and short positions still suffering heavy losses. The Fear & Greed Index remains high at 71 (Greed), but clear multi-timeframe bearish divergence signals indicate the short squeeze rally is nearing its limit, and the market has officially entered a sensitive high zone.
🪙 $BTC: Surge then pullback, breaking key support
Intraday, it once touched $87,363, an 8-month high, then sharply retreated, currently oscillating between $83,500 and $84,400, down about 2.2%. The core driver is a spot ETF inflow of nearly $1 billion in a single day, a yearly record, but market makers have reduced liquidity by nearly $100 million. There is dense resistance from $87,000 to $90,000 with trapped positions, and short-term chasing funds are insufficient.
🪙 $ETH: Selling pressure emerges, short-term overheating
Currently around $2,659-$2,677, it met resistance near the $2,800 mark and pulled back, down about 2.8%-3.1%. The FTX liquidation team transferred 27,000 ETH (about $75.32 million) to Wintermute, suspected of selling, causing significant short-term selling pressure. The 1-hour and 4-hour RSI have both entered overbought zones, showing clear resistance to further gains.
🪙 $SOL: Following the market, relatively stable
Currently oscillating between $114-$115, with a 24-hour decline of about 2.6%-3.3%. As one of the leading altcoins in the rebound, it shows relative strength but cannot stand alone, facing resistance between $120-$125.
💡 Core Strategy
The short squeeze is nearing its limit; it is recommended to prioritize short positions at highs and support-based long positions as secondary. The selling pressure on ETH and the liquidity withdrawal by BTC market makers are favorable signals for your current short positions.The short position finally sees some hope.
Has it peaked? Will it rise again?
$AKE unexpectedly triggered my stop-loss last time. After it dropped, I opened another short position and finally managed to short a little. New coins tend to have concentrated holdings at launch, making it easy to pump the price. But look at the on-chain data — suspected market makers pulled 216 million AKE directly from Binance Alpha after pumping 115%, worth $13.83 million, holding at least 12.4 billion tokens, over 54% of the circulating supply. With such concentration, I don't believe this is a decentralized project. On September 21, 2.11 billion tokens will unlock, accounting for 2.11% of total supply. A few days have passed; I’m holding the short position without adding.
$USELESS retested the 0.35 high yesterday but failed to hold and dropped again. I have a short at 0.25 and won’t add more due to high risk. After Bonk Guy returned to Twitter, he’s been promoting this coin, claiming huge whale funds keep flowing in. On-chain data did catch a new wallet buying 6.64 million tokens at 0.34 for 2.28 million USDC. But the coin’s past months’ pattern is a cycle of “outperforming the market — crash — consolidation — new high.” I firmly believe MEME coins are meaningless, driven only by market sentiment, with no support at the bottom, and will eventually fall. The price is stuck near the upper Bollinger Band at 0.34, RSI is already 70.7 overbought; those chasing longs should think twice.
The scariest is still $ZEC. It’s been hitting new highs continuously these days; my mind only thinks “new high, new high.” From 1480 to 1580 and then 1680 yesterday. Remember, I opened my first short at 513; I luckily stopped loss midway, or it would have been a total blowout. Check the on-chain data and you won’t feel alone — a whale holding a short for half a month was forced to liquidate, losing $10.68 million, with the liquidation price just $3 away. That big short named Garrett Jin, who had a 79% win rate and earned $9.11 million cumulatively, lost all profits this time; the short loss expanded to $33.83 million, liquidation price at 4790. Grayscale’s Zcash ETF has had net inflows for 16 consecutive days, traditional brokerage accounts can directly allocate $ZEC, and Paradigm’s co-founder publicly confirmed holding $ZEC. This is no longer purely sentiment-driven; institutional money is paving the way.
Honestly, Glassnode’s altcoin season signal has hit 81.25; altcoin market cap has risen 33% since August 19, while Bitcoin dominance hovers below 60%. Altcoin season isn’t "coming," it’s already underway.
The market is right here; everyone sees something different. I’m holding my short, not adding, and not advising anyone to follow my direction. What’s your take?
#美伊恢复接触，风险溢价会降吗？ #财报观察员：好市多Q4财报即将公布 #美债收益率全面走高，高利率为何难降？ $AVAX current price 10.305, 24h decline 8.45%, trading volume 59.9M USDT; MA5=10.2578 has crossed below MA20=10.5473, RSI=36.6 approaching oversold but not bottomed, MACD histogram -0.01275 maintaining bearish, Bollinger lower band 9.8167 is the only effective support reference currently. Fear and Greed Index 71 still in greed zone, indicating selling pressure comes from profit-taking rather than panic selling, this kind of structure usually has a secondary bottom test.
Here is a reusable method: the first rebound after a moving average death cross looks at whether MA5 can retake MA20, not how much the price rebounds. Currently, the MA5 and MA20 divergence rate is about 2.8%, which is a shallow death cross. If the price consolidates with low volume near the Bollinger lower band, RSI rises back above 45, and MACD histogram converges, it is considered the first signal of trend recovery; otherwise, if volume increases and breaks below 9.82, the death cross upgrades to a trend decline.
The direction is bearish, a rebound to 10.45–10.55 (where MA20 coincides with a previous dense trading area) can be lightly shorted, take profit 1 at 9.95 (above Bollinger lower band), take profit 2 at 9.60 (extension after breaking the lower band), stop loss at 10.78 (below Bollinger upper band, a breakout invalidates the bearish logic).Gemini doesn't need to be "number one in the world"; Google is linking the entry point, cloud, and TPU into a complete AI business. Written by: Frank, MSX Maton This weekend, the AI community started hyping Google again. The main focus is the "Gemini 4.0," which hasn't been officially released yet but is suspected to be sneaking away on platforms like Arena. Various blind test screenshots and user feedback have gone viral on social media, with many even shouting "Google is back." But still, it's a small bucket of cold water first. So far, Google has not officially released Gemini 4. At the July earnings call, it was confirmed that the company has begun its "most ambitious pre-training" to date. In other words, while Gemini 4 exists, the various "real-world test results" circulating over the weekend are best treated as rumors for now. But to be fair, even if all the Gemini 4 rumors are removed first, it seems it's time for Google to take a fresh look recently. Because beyond the models, its other cards are also improving. 1. Gemini doesn't have to be "number one in the world"—just returning to the top tier is enough. Over the past six months, Google's most awkward situation has been that it always feels a bit slow to the outside world. OpenAI and Anthropic drop a depth charge every few months (today it's the Goldbach Conjecture), and top domestic open-source models are also desperately pushing for itONE RED CANDLE CHANGED THE WHOLE $ARKM CHART.
Price wicked down to 0.11780, then went quiet. Tight candles, now a green one at 0.12276. Still +20.43% on 7D.
I watch the calm after the flush, not the flush. What do you need to see before trusting this bounce?Liquidity is heavily tilted toward longs, while market greed is running high. Historically, bull markets rarely move straight up—mid-cycle corrections and shakeouts are normal. The current pullback may simply be a reset rather than a trend top. If BTC can stabilize above $85K, the path toward $90K, $100K, and eventually previous highs could open further. The key is patience: corrections can provide better long-entry opportunities rather than chasing strength. For personal market discussion only,The Dogecoin market depends on the tone of the news.
In a phase where geopolitics dominates the market, price divergences don't come from K-line patterns but from a single speech or statement. At such times, the position's risk resistance must be maximized: either hold spot or reduce contract positions. Leverage acts as an amplifier when the trend is clear, but in a news-driven market, it becomes a noose—a sudden piece of news can leave high-leverage positions no time to react.
Dogecoin ranks high in sensitivity to market sentiment. When funds flow in, it leads the charge; when sentiment recedes, it withdraws quickly. At points where geopolitical tensions rise, risk assets overall come under pressure, and liquidity is first pulled from high-volatility assets. $DOGE is often the first to be reduced. For spot holders, unrealized losses are just fluctuations in account numbers; for those holding contracts, a single reverse move can get them forced out.
Earning a lot is gratifying, but surviving is key. Only chips that can be held onto can wait for the next round of the market. Adjust your position to a level where you can sleep well: on nights when news breaks, spot holders turn off the lights and sleep, while heavy contract holders stare at screens waiting for dawn. The market doesn't reward the bold, only those who survive.A whale placed 96 limit buy orders for BTC on Hyperliquid early this morning, ranging from $77,800 to $82,600, totaling about 844 BTC, worth $67.07 million.
In my opinion, the net is laid out from 2% below the current price up to 7.5%, and if fully filled, the position would multiply 13 times — those who talk about a drop are actually more honest with their actions than words. 😇
$BTC $ETH $HYPELast night, over 444 million long positions were liquidated
Last night the market plunged, liquidating $444 million in long positions.
A few days ago, the short squeeze cleared 600–800 million shorts; last night it was the longs' turn.
BTC dropped from 87,300 to below 84,000, and within 12 hours, 383 million in long positions were liquidated. About 132,000 people across the network were wiped out, with the largest single position being a 10.04 million ETH long from Europe.
A trap: right after the short squeeze ended, leverage was increased to chase the highs. Just because shorts have been liquidated doesn’t mean the trend is stable; high-level contracts are just sending margin to the exchanges. $ETH ✳️ The US and Iran talked for 3 hours, Trump called it "very good, very productive," and Iran also proposed conditions such as lifting sanctions and unfreezing assets. After expectations for Hormuz Strait navigation warmed up, oil prices fell back, Middle East risk premiums cooled down, which is positive for risk assets.
$BTC $ETH
📊 【Capital and Data Analysis】
▶ Strong ETF support: On September 21, BTC spot ETFs saw net inflows close to 1 billion USD! Institutional treasury strategies and ETF channels are continuously withdrawing circulating market chips, keeping the supply-demand structure healthy.
▶ Short squeeze impact: Short liquidations accounted for 80%, clearly just after a short squeeze wave.
▶ Major test warning: Options expire on Friday, with call positions concentrated around 90,000 and 100,000. With bulls and bears battling, short-term volatility will definitely remain high.
🎯 Do not chase highs, wait for pullbacks, especially before Friday’s options expiration! If you’re uncertain recently, remember to control your impulses. Market direction can change in an instant; sometimes waiting and observing is the better choice.

Liquidations across the entire network totaled $1.919 billion, with long positions losing 1.573 billion—accounting for 82%. Those who shouted "90,000 to see" yesterday are buried today. But today's article isn't about how bad liquidations can be. I want to talk about an unconventional statistic: while BTC is plummeting, 21,600 BTC are flowing out of exchange wallets, worth $2.159 billion. The price is falling, but the coins are moving into cold wallets—is this deleveraging, or a signal of a major bottom? Let me break it down for you today. 01 Let's look at some data: BTC fell $4,000 in one day, 1.9 billion in margin liquidation. Here's today's market scene: BTC: fell from yesterday's $87,374 to today's low of $83,439, down about $3,935; Now at $84,247, down 2.28% in 24 hours; ETH: Quoted at $2,681, down 2.64%; Altcoins: SOL down 3.00%, XRP down 4.96%, DOGE down 7.56%, ZEC down 8.75%—the most highly elastic coin was the biggest dropper; Liquidation: In the past 24 hours, total liquidations across the network reached $1.919 billion, with long positions selling 1.573 billion (82%) and short positions selling 346 million; Holdings: Hyperliquid's total online holdings dropped to $15.887 billion, falling below the 16 billion mark. Why the drop? Three direct reasons: FirstEveryone, I suggest saving this article before reading—because market signals and on-chain data are in conflict, and opportunities and traps are just one line apart! --- 📉 Let's look at the panorama first: the entire market is wiped out in one go. During the Asian session on September 24, the crypto market collectively pulled back. BTC was quoted at about $84,247, down 2.28% in 24 hours; ETH was at $2,681, down 2.64%; SOL was at $115, down 3.00%. XRP fell 4.96%, DOGE dropped 7.56%, and altcoins fell even harder. What triggered this wave of decline? The US September composite PMI surged from 56.0 to 58.4, marking the fastest increase in over five years. Once the data was released, U.S. Treasury yields soared, demand for 5-year Treasury auctions was bleak, and Bitcoin plunged from a high of $87,000 to around $83,500. Fed Governor Barr added another cut, suggesting that "further policy adjustments may be needed" to curb inflation. With changing interest rate expectations, leveraged long positions were liquidated in succession. Key data: In the past 24 hours, net liquidations across the network amounted to about $1.919 billion, with long positions liquidated $1.573 billion, accounting for as much as 82%. The largest liquidation was a perpetual long position in ETH/USDT, with $10.04 million in a single blow. But interestingly—on-chain data shows the exact opposite picture. 🟠 BTC: 444 million long positions liquidated, but major players are quietly accumulating shares. Market overview: · Current price: about $84,340 | 24-hour decline: -2.2% · Long positions clearPositive news lands but price plunges! BTC falls below 85,000, hiding deep selling pressure signals
The market's most bizarre divergence scenario fully played out today on the BTC chart.
Positive signals emerged from a three-hour US-Iran meeting, Trump stated the negotiations were very effective, oil prices simultaneously dropped below $100, and geopolitical risks significantly cooled. According to conventional logic, risk assets should rally accordingly, and BTC should have leveraged this to break through.
However, the chart showed a completely opposite trend, with BTC quickly dropping from $87,251 to around $84,300, and OKX dipping as low as $83,856, completely dashing previous expectations of hitting 90,000.
Even more absurd, the US spot ETF has seen net inflows of $1.59 billion for three consecutive days, with continuous off-exchange incremental funds entering.
Funds are flowing in but prices are not rising; the core reason is extremely heavy on-exchange selling pressure. Profit-taking is concentrated at low levels, trapped positions at high levels are using this opportunity to unwind, combined with exhausted short-covering momentum, causing a break in buying support.
The current 85,000 USD level is a short-term lifeline: a quick recovery would be a healthy shakeout, while sustained failure to hold suggests this rally might just be a temporary short squeeze.
Positive news without price increase means emptiness; the market is always more honest than the news. $BTC $ETH #BTC price surged then fell, has the market rotation started?
These two coins that frantically pumped before $BTC's explosive rise are now all crashing without exception.
$ONE dropped straight from 0.006 to 0.002, falling nearly 30% in one day. $MUBARAK is even more extreme, halving right after hitting 0.088, now lying at 0.053.
The logic is too obvious: they hyped up before the big BTC rally to attract copycat buyers. Once BTC pulls back, even slightly trembling, these altcoins fall like kites with broken strings, free-falling.
I originally thought it was great—since they fall with BTC, I could just keep shorting along the trend and make easy money lying down.
But what happened? The coin prices did fall, but I couldn’t make any profit at all!
The funding rates are outrageously high! Shorting not only yields no profit, but you also have to pay huge interest daily to the longs. This is clearly a trap set by the whales, forcing shorts to pay up or get disgusted into closing positions. As long as BTC doesn’t have a major correction and stays sideways here, shorts are just working for the longs, and the funding fees alone can drain you.
If you pick the right direction, you lose fees and funding costs; if you pick the wrong direction, you get liquidated immediately. Shorting is like being a dog, and longing is also like being a dog.
Forget it, I really can’t play these high-fee altcoins. Better to hold U honestly and let the grid run. This kind of dog-whale market, even looking at it is disrespectful to yourself.ZEC
1500 got smashed, this short-term short should be reversed. After hitting 1653, it fell back, with upper shadow, volume contraction, and 8H bearish divergence all real; chasing the high is paying a faith premium.
Currently, the first line of defense is reached, and continuing to short down based on yesterday's logic has reversed the odds. The European ETP just opened as a channel, not a curtain call. Optional privacy has been called for eight years, but it didn't stop the rise from 400 to 1600. The largest long position reduced by 1000 coins, with 12,700 contracts still open.
Try a small long position between 1440-1500; if it breaks 1440, admit the mistake and look at 1300;
If it holds steady, then target 1580-1650. Reversing position is okay, reckless longs are not.#美伊3小时会谈释放积极信号？
——————————————————————
Casual chat: The US and Iran sat down to talk again. Is this really friendly or just a formality?
——————————————————————
Yesterday we were still discussing BTC surging to 87,000 and shorts being wiped out. Today, with this news, the "geopolitics" and "crypto" lines are completely connected.
Regarding this 3-hour US-Iran meeting, on the surface, the "atmosphere team" did their job.
New York, 3 hours, Trump said "very good," "productive," and that talks will continue. Iran also gave a way out, setting conditions: lifting the maritime blockade and releasing frozen assets. The most direct reaction was a drop in oil prices as a sign of respect. Brent and WTI both fell, and the market immediately started discounting the "risk premium" for the Middle East.
In the end, this 3-hour US-Iran meeting was like two people arguing in a market, then each stepping back halfway saying "let's talk next time." The vegetables on the table didn't move, but the chopsticks were picked up first. For us watching from the sidelines, don't take it too seriously; protecting your positions and stop losses is better than anything.
$BTC $SOL $ZEC has truly cemented its throne as the "King of Privacy Coins" in this wave.
Current price $1,522, market cap $25.8 billion, climbing to 9th globally, surpassing Dogecoin, Chainlink, and Cardano.
30-day gain +87%, one-year surge 2800% (28x!)
Rising from the $16 low in July 2024, nearly 100x increase.
Holds 60% of the entire privacy sector's market cap, leading Monero by over $10 billion — a clear gap at the top.
The technology is legendary.
ZEC is the first large-scale application of zk-SNARKs (zero-knowledge proofs), now the entire ZK Rollup sector calls it the founding father. Sender, receiver, and amount all encrypted, outsiders see nothing.
Ironwood upgrade: closed old pools, introduced "quantum recoverable" notes, preparing a fallback for quantum computing.
NU7 activation on November 5: block time reduced from 75s to 25s, throughput tripled.
Tachyon protocol coming by year-end, full quantum-resistant privacy suite in place.
21 million cap, PoW, Bitcoin-style halving preserved — a hard asset modeled after Bitcoin.
Wall Street has directly embraced it.
Here's the most impressive part:
Grayscale ZEC spot ETF (ZCSH) launched on NYSE Arca on 8/25, net inflow of $284 million in September alone, scale surged to $979 million, and announced a 3-for-1 stock split, reminiscent of Bitcoin ETF splits that continued to rise.Yesterday $BTC was still cheering at $86,968, but this morning it directly dropped to $83,500.
The reason: US September Manufacturing PMI at 57.0, the highest since May 2022, Services PMI at 58.7, with October rate hike bets heating up, the 10-year US Treasury yield surged to 5.11%, a 19-year high.
When interest rates rise, high valuation assets fall first. The entire crypto network liquidated $545 million in 24 hours, with long positions accounting for $447 million, and 126,000 people liquidated. The worst single liquidation was on Binance ETH/USDT, $10.04 million.
But BTC's own ledger remains intact. It’s still up +11.36% over 7 days, and the $999M inflow into ETFs is real money. Holding the $83,500 level means the pullback is healthy.
Technically: daily moving averages are still in a bullish arrangement, but volume is clearly contracting. $83,500 = today's low, $79,000 = 20-day moving average; above, $86,000 = yesterday's high, $87,400 = monthly high.
Position ≤5%, cut at $83,500 halving level, clear at $79,000. Wait for US Treasury yields to fall before talking about offense. $BTC 84321, I’m still holding the long position I opened at 78722~
Floating profit of 71 points. The numbers are here, but more valuable than the numbers is that this position wasn’t shaken out midway.
When I entered at 78722, no one applauded me. Everyone remembers that period: breaking below 84000, first liquidating shorts then longs within two days, nearly one billion dollars in positions evaporated on the spot. The forced liquidation warnings did sound, the account numbers did fluctuate. At that time, the thing I wanted most was to put my finger on the close position button and tell myself, “Come out and take a look first.”
I didn’t move.
Not because I’m smarter than anyone, but because the things I thought through on the day I opened the position haven’t been overturned at all until now. The ETF channel is still there, the supply rhythm after halving hasn’t changed, and the expectation of rate cuts is only delayed, not gone. The price can fall, but the logic hasn’t collapsed, so the position shouldn’t be decided by volatility for me.
Of course, holding on doesn’t mean stubbornly holding. The position at 78700 has lasted until now not because of courage, but because I didn’t max out leverage when entering, and the liquidation point was far enough away. If I had pushed the position to the limit back then, when this sharp drop happened, I wouldn’t even have the right to say “still holding.”
Repeatedly harvesting at the same threshold, the market is doing one thing: transferring chips from those watching the price to those watching the logic. From 78700 to 84355, there was a panic breaking below 84000, and countless people thinking “run first, talk later.”
The real opponent of BTC bulls has never been any single sharp drop, but whether at the moment the drop happens, you still remember why you entered the market.ZEC dropped from ~$1,580 to ~$1,420 as long positions were wiped out, turning a normal pullback into a liquidation cascade. My read: ① $1,500 break triggered stops ② Long liquidations accelerated selling ③ Privacy coins like DASH/XMR also weakened ④ Thin liquidity made the bounce harder ⑤ Fear quickly replaced greed This looks more like leverage unwinding than pure spot selling. Now I’m watching whether $1,400 holds or another liquidation wave starts. 👀 #ZEC #美伊恢复接触，风险溢价会降吗？$BTC weakened around 84,325, with a volatility of 4.6% in this round. All 17 liquidations were long positions, with zero short positions; only the bulls took hits during the decline. U.S. Treasury yields are rising, increasing global funding costs, and the pressure of carry trade fund withdrawals will first impact high-volatility assets. Our data aligns with this path: the large holder position ratio dropped from 2.0286 to 1.8887, while the retail long-short account ratio rose from 0.8932 to 1.1608, indicating that chips are flowing from large holders to retail investors, a typical weak hand takeover structure. Funding rates for three periods are 0.0003%, 0.0013%, and 0.0001%, showing leverage is not crowded, more like a slow grind down rather than a sharp drop after overheating. DVOL is 35.7, options put/call volume is 0.65, and hedging demand has not yet emerged; if the shock continues to ferment, volatility has room to catch up. Judgment: $BTC is short-term bearish, first watching if the 83,450.1 low can hold. Conditions to turn bullish: price recovers above 87,247.3, and the retail long-short ratio falls back below 1. Both must occur simultaneously to invalidate this bearish view. Big Brother Maji opened a new position again. This time it's PUMP.
10x leverage, 150 million tokens, position size 600,000. Along with his existing ETH, BTC, and HYPE, he holds four long positions, with a total unrealized profit of $780,000.
But what I'm more curious about is why he added PUMP.
He has held this coin since August, during which he took profits of 250 million tokens earning 4,432 dollars, then opened another 400 million tokens, and now added 150 million. The repeated in-and-out shows he doesn't treat it as a short-term gamble but is building a base position.
Why? Because PUMP's fundamentals are indeed solid.
Pump.fun has an annualized revenue of $677 million, making it one of the most stable and least volatile protocols in the crypto industry. 50% of the revenue is directly used to buy back and burn PUMP, which at the current price equates to consuming 17.6% of the circulating supply annually. In the second half of last year, buybacks cost 217 million; although it dropped to 72.2 million in the first half of this year, protocol revenue only decreased by 18%.
Revenue hasn't collapsed, buybacks continue, and the team still holds a treasury of 2 billion.
But PUMP's price has been hovering around $0.005. A protocol with $677 million annual revenue has a price-to-sales ratio of only 2.8x. This valuation either means the market is wrong or the market is waiting for a signal.
Maji is voting with 150 million PUMP tokens, betting on the latter.
Here's the question: He has four long positions combined—25x ETH, 40x BTC, 10x HYPE, 10x PUMP—with a position value over 100 million. Do you think he can hold on?#美伊3小时会谈释放积极信号？ Was there anything concrete achieved at Hormuz after the 3-hour talks?
On September 22, the US-Iran teams talked for nearly 3 hours.
Some think the negotiations have reconnected.
Others believe Iran's conditions are too heavy.
It's still far from a deal.
But I actually think the market is not fundamentally trading on a "ceasefire" right now.
1. First look at CL, BZ; oil prices have already dropped for a while, and USO has clearly weakened.
2. As long as Hormuz reopens, the supply variable moves downward.
3. Iran's current demands to lift the blockade and release frozen assets all happen to be stuck at this point, so the real value of these 3 hours is that both sides have started discussing specific conditions again.
4. BTC hovering around 86,000 was not obviously hammered by this news, which also shows that funds are not yet treating it as a new risk shock.
So my own judgment is a bit more aggressive:
The market may first trade on "whether Hormuz can reopen," then on "whether a ceasefire can actually happen" (this is the core point I want to make).
Subsequent news releases are just continuing; the recent drop in CL, BZ, USO has already priced in some expectations; but if substantive actions like lifting the blockade and restoring passage really happen, oil prices still have room to move.
Conversely, if negotiations get stuck, the earlier expectations will have to be given back.
So for these 3 hours, I think what’s really worth watching is not "how well the talks went," but whether anything concrete can be achieved regarding Hormuz.
