$USELESS Bonk Guy says USELESS is like PEPE's 2023 parabola, and this is the fifth time he's shouted it. Every time he shouts, it pumps, but then it dumps back. Last time it was 0.288, this time 0.336; the highs are indeed getting higher each time, but more and more people are chasing the highs.
Those who didn't catch it at 0.23 are hesitating at 0.336. When it falls, they think it can go lower; when it rises, they fear missing out; and when it really goes up, they regret it. SAR is at 0.241, EMA21 at 0.251, and the price has already deviated far from the moving averages. Those chasing at this level are betting it can keep pumping, but Bonk Guy's script has played out four times—shout, pump, dump. The more frequently he shouts, the fewer people follow. Next time he shouts, can it still pump to 0.336?
My account is empty, no rush. Do you think this wave can hold above 0.33? 🫡The relationship between Bitcoin and gold is undergoing a rare repricing. In the past two weeks, the most closely watched data in the crypto world has not been BTC's price, but the correlation coefficient between BTC and gold. As of September 7, the 90-day price correlation between Bitcoin and gold had risen to 0.59, the highest level since 2020. Bitcoin's 90-day correlation with the Nasdaq-100 dropped to about 0.3 over the same period, a one-year low. If you zoom in to the 30-day window, BTC's correlation with gold rises further to 0.72, while its correlation with the Nasdaq Composite is only about 0.22. 0.59 and 0.3—these two numbers draw two completely different curves. BTC is following gold at its highest synchronization rate in years, while tech stocks are following it at its lowest in a year. That's why that analysis article went viral—it anchored a fact happening with data. Why is this round different? In recent years, BTC has been categorized by the market as a highly volatile tech stock. When raising rates, it falls along with US stocks; when liquidity is released, it rises with US stocks. From late August 2025 to early 2026, BTC fell about 43%, the S&P 500 rose about 7%, and gold surged 51%. The label "Bitcoin is just a leveraged tech growth stock" held up for most of 2022 through 2025. But after August 19, things changed. The US Treasury announced it would raise the single cap for long-term Treasury repurchase operations from $2 billion to at least $4 billion. This is a clear signal—Mainstream coins are rebounding across the board, but trading volume has dropped by 58.84%
This rebound looks neat, but the confirmation is not strong enough: all 9 fixed high-liquidity samples closed higher, yet the total spot trading volume is only 41.16% of the previous hour.
BTC closed at 79160.3, holding above 78923 but not surpassing 79367.9; ETH closed at 2501.41, just recovering 2499.99, still below 2511.35. OKB closed at 114.64, with trading volume only 0.58 times that of the previous hour. If in the next hour more than half of the samples break above this hour's high and trading volume rebounds, the rally is confirmed; if BTC or ETH fall below 78923 or 2499.99 again, it fails.
What level of volume recovery would you consider the passing line for this rebound?

$BTC is currently around $79,100, still consolidating within the $77,600–$79,500 range. From a medium-term perspective, I still lean towards a bullish scenario.
Not only has the 30-day and 90-day performance been above 20%, but Bitcoin has also recently formed a Golden Cross — a signal often viewed positively by the market. More notably, inflows into BTC Spot ETFs have continued for 3 consecutive weeks, totaling about $3.8B, indicating that institutional capital demand remains significant.
However, there are 2 upcoming events that could determine volatility:
• 9/11: US CPI data
• 9/15–16: Fed policy meeting
After the August nonfarm payroll report exceeded expectations and oil prices surged, the market is currently raising the probability of a 25 basis point Fed rate hike in September to about 60%.
So, will BTC break above $80K?
Scenario 1 — Fed does not raise rates (~40%)
Negative pressure is largely relieved. If BTC continues to hold above $79,500, it is highly likely to head straight to $80K. If the breakout succeeds, the next target could be $82K.
Scenario 2 — Fed raises rates (~60%)
The initial reaction might be a correction. The key level to watch is $77,600; if this level is breached, the price could retreat further to $76,500.
However, after the official announcement, the market could experience a “sell the news, buy the expectation” effect. Therefore, even if BTC initially reacts negatively, the possibility of retesting $80K in October is still worth monitoring.
📌 Important levels:
🟢 Support: $77,600 → $76,500 → $75,000
🔴 Resistance: $79,500 → $80,000 → $82,000
80K remains the decisive threshold. Maintaining the structure below and a successful breakout will add momentum to the uptrend.$BTC is currently repeatedly consolidating around $79K, while $ETH has regained the $2.5K mark, with short-term performance starting to widen compared to Bitcoin. This may not be just ordinary price divergence. The latest data shows that the US spot BTC ETF saw a net inflow of about $986.9M last week, and the ETH ETF also recorded a net inflow of about $218.4M during the same period, indicating institutional funds have not completely exited, but the allocation rhythm among different assets is shifting. Meanwhile, the ETH ETF saw a net outflow of about $48M on September 8, with short-term buying cooling down; while BTC ETFs attracted about $1.01B in the previous three trading days, indicating continued divergence in capital flows. From a technical perspective: 🟠 $BTC → Watch the $80.5K resistance and $77.2K support 🟢 $ETH → Watch the $2.56K breakout and the $2.42K defense 🔵 $SOL → Watch whether the relative strength above $106 can continue. If BTC continues to move sideways and ETH can break through $2.56K on increased volume, the market may shift from defensive assets to high-beta assets. But if BTC breaks below key support and ETH simultaneously falls below $2.42K, it would be more like a decline in overall risk appetite rather than healthy capital rotation. Additionally, oil prices are approaching $100, US inflation data is about to be released, and next week's Federal Reserve interest rate is also being raised$ZEC Still the same view, I do not doubt it can reach 1500, 2000, or even higher. But if it does, it definitely won't be because: A) Dog coin whales and big institutions spend tens of billions, hundreds of billions of real money to push it up; B) It's not because hundreds of thousands, millions, or tens of millions of ordinary small retail investors mindlessly rush in, mindlessly chase the rise and high prices... The truth can only be one possibility: heavy positions with high leverage in the contract circle gambling on $ZEC get liquidated and forcibly closed, instantly turning into position amount multiplied by leverage as 【high-level buy orders and buy-side liquidity】. Those who got stopped out and liquidated at 1300 may have lost 50 million dollars, which becomes fuel, instantly rocketing to 1400. Along the way, another batch of shorts stopped out and liquidated between 1301 and 1400 may have lost 200 million dollars, which again turns into buy orders, continuing to boost the rocket, pulling it to 1500. During this process, maybe 500 million dollars get liquidated, and this 500 million buy-side liquidity suddenly slams down, pushing it to 1600. Then another 1 billion gets liquidated... This cycle of continuous liquidation and trampling... So how can it stop rising and start falling? A) Many profitable long positions dare not continue risking, choosing to close longs to take profits, and closing longs turns into sell orders, with sell orders exceeding buy orders. B) Fewer heavy positions with high leverage short pure gamblers (stupid shorts), more steady players 【true shorts】, only investing 3% to 5% with light positions, leverage only 1.5 to 2, not exceeding 3, with stop loss liquidations at 5 to 10 times the current highest price.Long-short ratio 0.39, 70% of top traders are shorting — yet $ZEC stubbornly holds above 1100, who will give up first?
On September 9, $ZEC intraday dropped to the 1128–1180 USD range (about 10% retracement from the September 6 high of 1254), still up about 43%–55% over 7 days, with a market cap around 20 billion, ranking 9th.
The market is extremely divided: top accounts short ratio is 72.05%, long-short ratio 0.39; but the 90-day spot CVD is still dominated by buyers, the largest short Jin is floating a loss of about 21.98 million USD, with the liquidation line raised to 2540.
Warning signals: futures open interest at 2.44 billion USD, 24h futures volume 6.68 billion is 11 times the spot volume of 600 million, a pure leverage market; RSI once touched 85 indicating overbought.
Recommendation: 1100 is the lifeline, a break targets 1000 and 935; do not chase highs, do not short lightly (high risk of a stampede), hold light positions and wait for the 9/11 CPI and 9/15 CLARITY releases.Institutions flip faster than turning pages!
The money for $HYPE ETF was still buying the day before yesterday, but yesterday saw a net outflow of 13 million.
Institutional flip confirmed: After continuous buying of the HYPE spot ETF, on 9/8 there was a net outflow of 12.96 million USD, with BHYP alone withdrawing 8.06 million. The timeline from inflow to outflow over 5 trading days perfectly matches the price drop from 88.6 to 84. Now it's clear who's selling.
The knife on September 29 is approaching: 14.2 million tokens unlocking, about 1.2 billion USD, 47% going to insiders. Historical data shows: on average, a drop of 8.3% in the 7 days after unlocking. The biggest calendar-based bearish impact isn't on the unlock day itself, but the two weeks of front-running before unlocking, which is exactly the current window.
Leverage is withdrawing: total open interest is still 3.35 billion, but shrank 4.4% in 24 hours. Although the fee rate is still positive (0.0082%), longs are deleveraging, not adding positions. High-level sideways trading plus capital withdrawal is not a buildup, it's an exit posture.
Burning continues: a total of 48.42 million tokens burned, accounting for 4.84% of total supply. The buyback leg is real. But buybacks support the bottom, they can't stop the top caused by unlocking.
My take: Don't chase between 83-85, exit if it breaks 82.5, reduce positions near 88 on low volume, don't try to front-run the unlock on 9/29. If you really believe in it, wait for the unlock to settle and the market to vote with its feet before coming back, it's not too late.BTC support and resistance levels: 87550/85165/75475/78425/71500
BTC hit a low of 77600 last night, with bulls and bears mainly oscillating back and forth. After bottoming out in the early morning, the market's 5min/15min ultra-short-term break and recovery now help repair the 1h/2h indicators, but it still cannot reverse the 1h/2h trend of bottom testing support. Intense battles will definitely revolve around 78425;
ETH support and resistance levels: 2750//2525/2400/2225/2100
ETH is slightly stronger, but this is not yet the time for a breakout on its own; market cooperation is still needed. The highlight of this week is Friday's CPI release. The recent intense market fluctuations are beneficial, helping to repeatedly attract liquidity accumulation to build momentum for Friday's volatility;Litecoin MWEB March 2026 Vulnerability VS Bitcoin Sidechain Liquid September 2026 Vulnerability Comparison
The MWEB vulnerability and the Liquid vulnerability appear similar on the surface: both are confidential transaction verification bugs that allow minting tokens out of thin air and redeeming via peg-out.
But the fundamental architectural differences are huge:
✅ Liquid: Real BTC is custodied in a federated wallet. If the attack succeeds, real bitcoins are transferred out to the Bitcoin mainnet and reserves cannot be frozen unilaterally.
✅ LTC MWEB: There is no federated fund pool. Forged LTC is recorded as new entries on the Litecoin main chain ledger; forged coins remain within the LTC chain and can be frozen and recovered through PoW miner consensus. The original LTC locked in MWEB is not stolen.
#LTC #MWEB #Liquid Micron, SanDisk, and SK Hynix are all on the AI list, but their profit positions differ
People buying storage stocks recently often face a question: Micron, SanDisk, and SK Hynix are all getting attention, so is it enough to just pick one that hasn’t risen much yet? Looking at this industry line on September 9, I prefer to first separate them from the same conceptual basket. Artificial intelligence requires storage and memory, but different products address different bottlenecks, and companies earn revenue at different stages. Just because their names appear on the same ranking list doesn’t mean their business models are the same.
Micron has announced it will hold a quarterly earnings call on September 30, which is the next clear and verifiable time point. Before that, any statements about specific profits for the new quarter should distinguish between forecasts and already disclosed results. The company’s official product materials show it covers high-bandwidth memory, other DRAM, and storage fields. Discussing it should not be reduced to a single popular abbreviation, nor should the supply and demand changes of various products be completely mixed together.
You can imagine an AI system as an information factory that needs to work continuously. Some data must be placed close to the computing units and used quickly with very high bandwidth; some need to be kept in system memory for ongoing processing; and a large amount of content requires long-term storage. This analogy only helps differentiate roles and does not mean different products can simply replace each other. The growth in computing demand goes through system design and procurement budgets before turning into different demands for various components.
High-bandwidth memory is receiving attention because systems need data to serve computing faster; opportunities for flash memory and related storage products also involve capacity, access, cost, and long-term preservation. They may all benefit from AI development, but the degree of benefit, technical barriers, and supply rhythm do not have to be the same. One cannot declare that all products called storage have the same pricing power just because one category is in short supply.
SanDisk and SK Hynix’s previous announcement about cooperation on high-bandwidth flash memory technical specifications also shows the industry is trying new product paths. That was a public progress update in August, not a sudden large order today. Standards and technical collaboration are meaningful because they reduce the difficulty of industry coordination; but from specification release to customer adoption, then to scaled shipments and profit contribution, there is still a verification process. Technical milestones are worth tracking but do not mean all revenue has been booked.
For Micron, the next research focus can be more specific: how the revenue proportion of different products changes, whether technological upgrades improve costs, whether capacity ramp-up consumes cash, and whether customer demand supports investment. This is not about drawing conclusions before the unpublished earnings report but clarifying what to look for then. What truly distinguishes company performance is often not whether AI is mentioned but the efficiency of turning opportunities into profits.
SK Hynix and SanDisk also need to evaluate based on their own product and customer structures. One cannot simply assume that because a company leads in one segment, it leads in all; nor can company cooperation be understood as no longer competing. The semiconductor industry often simultaneously involves cooperation, standard promotion, and commercial competition, with roles changing depending on the product. Understanding specific business is more reliable than labeling a company as a permanent winner.
There is also a cost issue easily overlooked in this round: customers do not have unlimited budgets. Even if AI demand grows long-term, buyers will seek more efficient architectures, lower-cost solutions, and alternative supplies. High profits for suppliers may attract capacity expansion or push customers to optimize usage. This does not mean the boom will end immediately but reminds investors that the current strong bargaining power is still in dynamic competition.
I tend to divide storage stock research into three time layers. In the short term, look at prices, orders, and inventory; in the medium term, capacity and product upgrades; and in the long term, whether the company can maintain its technological position and cash returns. A company’s strong short-term performance does not mean all three layers are strong; another company’s large current investment does not automatically mean better long-term prospects. Subsequent data must be used for gradual verification rather than judging all issues by a cheap or expensive intuition.
Micron’s earnings disclosure at the end of the month will provide new material for verification; SanDisk and SK Hynix’s product and cooperation progress are also worth continuous tracking. But one thing that can be confirmed today is that AI will not erase differences between companies; it may actually amplify them. The next stage worth seeking is not stocks with storage in their name and seemingly lagging prices but companies that continuously deliver value in their responsible segment and retain that value.$BTC 上午最低又踩到 7.83万美元附近，随后重新拉回7.9万美元上方，最高摸到7.94万左右。折腾半天一看，好家伙，还是没离开8万美元这扇门。 但我觉得今天和前几天又有一点区别。 前几天是整个市场陪着BTC一起磨，现在越来越像BTC自己卡在那里，下面的币开始各走各的。有些在补涨，有些高位消化，还有些已经提前露出疲态。 先看BTC。 目前7.8万美元这一带依旧有承接，9月8日最低到过7.76万，今天再往下试了一次，又被拉回来。所以短线这里已经连续接住好几次了。 问题还是上面。 从9月3日冲到8.1万美元之后，BTC已经连续几天没能把8万美元真正留下。偶尔站上去没用，第二天又回来，市场已经被磨得有点没感觉了。 现在外面的环境也挺烦，布伦特原油已经逼近 100美元，美国10年期国债收益率还在4.8%附近，市场对9月美联储加息的定价大约在六成。油价继续往上拱，会让通胀这件事更难受。 所以BTC今天能从7.82万附近再拉回来，我觉得承接其实不算差。 但想真正舒服起来，还是得把8万拿回来，然后去碰前面8.2万附近。只在7.8万和8万之间天天刷存在感，行情就还是那个行情。 ETH今天反而比前几🚨 BTC looks weak right now — and I don’t think that’s happening by accident.
Bitcoin dipped, bounced around, and continued to chop, but compared with ETH, SOL and some of the higher-beta names, BTC simply isn’t showing much strength.
I see two main reasons:
1️⃣ The money isn’t there yet.
BTC’s market cap is already huge. Without a clear macro signal that rate cuts are coming, fresh liquidity isn’t rushing into the market.
#DailyOrbit Latest Highlights in the Crypto Circle
Currently, the crypto market is engaged in multi-front competition, with macro factors, themes, institutions, and on-chain events intertwined. CME's Fed watch shows the probability of a September rate hike rising to 60%. The market is quietly awaiting the CPI data release on September 11. The yen continues to strengthen, and the risk of unwind in carry trades remains high. If the yen rapidly appreciates, it will trigger concentrated deleveraging in risk assets, putting liquidity pressure on BTC and ETH.
On the market front, the ZEC short squeeze continues to intensify, once surging to $1265, liquidating a large number of shorts. However, the high-level short squeeze sentiment is beginning to cool down, with leverage positions accumulating. Once the market reverses, the correction could be very severe. Hunter Biden's political Meme coin LAPTOP officially launched today on the Base chain, with a total supply of 1 billion tokens. The team has locked 30% of tokens for six months, and some shares have been airdropped to users who suffered losses with TRUMP tokens. Numerous copycat tokens have already appeared; participants must verify contract addresses. This theme will only disturb short-term speculative funds and is unlikely to change the overall market trend.
There is a clear divergence in institutional treasury tracks. Strategy has not continued to increase BTC holdings but used $176 million to repurchase STRC preferred shares, while expanding the buyback plan to $2 billion. It still holds 845,100 BTC, shifting from pure accumulation to optimizing capital and debt structure. In contrast, Strive continues to increase BTC holdings, BitMine keeps buying ETH and pledges most of its holdings to earn yield. Treasury enterprises have officially entered the stage of per-share value competition. SOPH has recently strengthened, with a shift in market narrative being a key variable. The project team has pivoted from "blockchain infrastructure" to "AI consumer applications," combined with practical features like low fees, account abstraction, and Gas fee payment, attracting considerable speculative capital during the rotation of hot topics, leading to a clear short-term sentiment boost.
From a fundamental perspective, SOPH did not emerge out of nowhere; it has accumulated substantial financing in the past and holds a certain capital reserve. What truly requires caution is the chip structure: the top ten addresses hold about 69%, concentrated in the hands of the team, early institutions, and the foundation, representing a typical VC token high-control model. The circulating supply is extremely small, meaning the price is easily influenced by large funds, and short-term trends heavily depend on market maker behavior and market sentiment.
Similar to BEAT and LAB, SOPH exhibits obvious strong-holder control characteristics. The AI narrative and potential airdrop expectations act as catalysts, but if consumer applications fail to achieve a breakthrough in real user scale, price support will be relatively fragile. The technical barriers are not prominent, with many competitors in the same track, so long-term value still needs time to be verified, and chasing highs requires extra caution.
Risk warning: The market is highly volatile, and high-control tokens carry significant price manipulation risks. Please rationally assess your own risk tolerance. $SOPHRobinhood appeared at the end of the underwriting list for the IPO of the smart ring company Oura. This position matches its current strength. Investment banks like Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley still dominate the issuance, and Robinhood has just gained the opportunity to participate. As of September 9, Oura has not yet completed its IPO, and Robinhood's underwriting share and commission have not been disclosed. It is obviously too early to consider it a competitor to Goldman Sachs now. I am bullish on HOOD, betting on its ability to retain customer assets and increase revenue per customer. Both IPO underwriting and Robinhood Chain can help it move in this direction. How much underwriting fee it earns in the short term is actually less important. The stock price has already priced in some expectations in advance. On September 3, HOOD rose 16.57% in a single day; by September 8, the closing price returned to $117.34, dropping 3.91% that day. Good news can still lead to a stock price decline. When the price has risen fast enough before, subsequent positive news must face more stringent scrutiny. Ordinary stock trading happens after listing. Customers come to buy and sell, and brokers provide services. IPO underwriting brings brokers into the issuance process: assisting companies in selling shares, assuming responsibilities according to agreements, and collecting issuance fees. The issuer also becomes its client. Robinhood's advantages are very specific. It knows how to reach retail investors and already has accounts, trading interfaces, and customer relationships in place. Consumer brands want investors to understand their products and even become users. Companies like OuraIs the leading Ethereum staking token $LDO worth holding long-term in this cycle? How high can it go in a bull market?
$EIGEN and ETHFI have already moved, maybe it's LDO's turn. Previously, I expected staking volume to have 4x potential (ETH staking rate and LDO market share both rising from 30% to 60%).
Now I'm no longer confident that market share can reach 60%, for two reasons:
1. Competition is intensifying, with rivals like ETHFI emerging. Their fully diluted valuation and leading position are not as strong as LDO's, but their low circulation makes them easier to pump, they have buybacks and dividends, and they are expanding into additional businesses. The recent rebound reflects capital recognition, casting doubt on LDO's growth.
2. LDO granting governance rights to stETH reflects good values, but the effect is too slow and reveals an overly "left-leaning" approach. Early on, a more aggressive centralized organization is needed to capture the market. Similar to SOL and ETH: left-wing has a high floor but a low short-term ceiling.
With $ETH rising, LDO breaking $1 is no problem. It can be bought short-term, but long-term buying interest should be reduced.

#AI需求升温，三星SK海力士库存不足10天
#OpenAI与Anthropic筹备信用评级 #加密财库分化：买币还是回购？ $BTC Wait, many people only focus on the privacy narrative of this ZEC wave, missing the three real forces stacking up together.
On 8/25, Grayscale converted the Zcash Trust into the US stock spot ETF ZCSH (NYSE Arca), and reports say the scale quickly surged to over 400 million USD; the price once touched around 1249 (a near ten-year high), and a chain of short squeeze liquidations further amplified the gains. Today the overall market is weak, but ZEC remains relatively resilient.
Two common misunderstandings. First, "it's all just storytelling": there is spot ETF accumulation, short covering, and tightened shielded supply—several forces stacking together. Second, "once it passes 1000, it's stable": on 9/14 there is a NU7 community/token governance vote (on block time, issuance curve, etc.), and if the sentiment can't hold, there will be a pullback. Publicly organized, you can watch OKX ZECUSDT perpetual, DYOR.$RAY is currently around $1.34
The increase over the past week still exceeds 40%, but I don't think RAY should be viewed only by this segment of growth.
The greatest value of Raydium lies in its position within the Solana trading ecosystem. As long as Meme, Launchpad, and on-chain trading remain active on Solana, Raydium is one of the most direct protocols to handle trading demand.
Recently, LaunchLab has become a new hotspot for funds, with STONK's market cap reaching about $140 million; MoonPay PayBox's Sunrise plugin has also started directing the first-day liquidity of new assets directly to Raydium.
So I will consider $RAY separately from $SOL.
SOL is a purchase of the entire chain, while RAY is a purchase of on-chain trading activity. If the altcoin market continues to expand and trading volume on Solana amplifies again, I believe DeFi assets like RAY that truly benefit from trading activity are more suitable for me than simply chasing a bunch of small Solana coins. $ATOM rose from around $1.63 to $1.86 yesterday, nearly 14% in a single day, and it is still holding above $1.8 today. Starting from around $1.46 in early September, there has already been a significant price revaluation in this period.
My view on $ATOM is actually different from chasing new coins.
The Cosmos ecosystem has never lacked technology and applications; IBC, Cosmos SDK, and these kinds of things have been adopted by many projects over the past few years. The real question has always been: how much of the value created by the entire Cosmos ecosystem can actually return to ATOM itself.
So after ATOM dropped to the $1 range, what I look at is this odds ratio.
Its historical high exceeded $40, and even now, near $1.8, the market’s expectations for ATOM remain very low.
If this bull market later starts rotating gradually from BTC and ETH to established public chains, I think coins like ATOM, which have recognition, liquidity, and have already dropped more than 95% from their highs, can easily become targets for capital looking for catch-up gains.
But I won’t assume it will definitely rise back just because it was $40 before.
Whether $ATOM can really have a bigger rally ultimately depends on whether the value capture of the Cosmos ecosystem can return to ATOM. This is the variable I will continue to watch going forward.Short-term fluctuations between 75,000 and 85,000 are quite normal; what really needs attention is whether it can climb back above 100,000 in the fourth quarter. The supply side after the halving is already tight; what's lacking is sustained incremental capital and a more favorable macro environment. If consolidation can be completed around 80,000 this year, the narrative next year will be much more optimistic than now. Instead of guessing daily price ups and downs, it's better to clearly understand how long you can hold and how much drawdown you can tolerate. $BTC 摘要：GPT-6 Astra重新点燃AI算力增长预期，Computer Use让Agent从程序员进一步扩展至更广泛的知识工作，使一个用户背后可以同时运行多个Agent。模型效率越高、任务成功率越高，人们就越愿意把更多、更长、更复杂的工作交给AI，最终推动AI使用量和总算力消耗持续增长。 9月3日GPT-6 Astra发布后，半导体和内存股率先反弹。 9月4日，SOXX单日上涨3.5%，Micron涨6.1%，SanDisk涨11.9%；9月7日，韩国KOSPI上涨4.61%，Samsung Electronics涨5.7%，SK hynix涨约8%。 在此之前，市场对AI资本开支过热、算力需求见顶的担忧，已经让相关板块震荡了相当长一段时间。MarketWatch甚至直接把这一次上涨形容为，Astra“重新点燃了memory-chip trade”。 《The Nvidia Way》作者、前Barron’s科技记者Tae Kim给出了一个更激进的解释：AI可能正在迎来过去四年里的第四轮指数级算力需求增长。 前三轮分别来自Chatbot、Reasoning和Coding Agent，第四$BTC Can it break 80,000?

- Rate hike (60%): short-term retest of 77,600 double bottom, break down target 76,500, but after implementation "sell the fact, buy the expectation," high probability to return to 80,000 in October
Key levels:
Support 77,600→76,500→75,000; Resistance 79,500→80,000→82,000
#BTC加速拉升，资金还能继续接力吗？ #BTC冲高回落，期权到期放大关口博弈 WLD has returned to around 0.45 this time
I am actually more willing to stay bullish
$WLD reached a high of 0.5059 USD yesterday, but today it has already fallen back to around 0.45 USD, showing a noticeable single-day pullback.
However, after reviewing this rally again, what truly makes me want to hold on is not the short-term gains, but the fact that WLD is currently experiencing two significant changes.
On one hand, World ID itself continues to advance towards real identity verification scenarios. As AI becomes more prevalent, proving "you are a real person" will become increasingly important. On the other hand, the supply pressure that WLD was most criticized for in the market has also started to enter a phase that is easier to absorb.
So this drop from 0.50 back to 0.45, I am more willing to treat it as a normal correction.
As long as the use of World ID continues to expand and institutional holdings keep increasing, my mid-term outlook on WLD will not change just because it drops a few points in one day.
Moreover, from the price structure perspective, the area around 0.45 is also the trading zone before the recent breakout in the past few days. What I am more focused on going forward is whether this can form new support here, rather than chasing the acceleration above 0.50 from yesterday.everyone is arguing about the wrong candle

On one side, the US BTC ETF has continued net inflows in recent days, indicating buying; on the other side, the spot/perpetual volume difference on exchanges remains negative, with sellers still dominating and no reversal yet. Options are optimistic, spot is cautious — confidence layering is very clear.
Price is stuck around the ~79,000 range: what’s missing to break through 80,000 is not the narrative, but spot support. Glassnode also signals a combination of "spot cooling down, leverage open interest rising," which can easily become a liquidation amplifier once a one-sided acceleration occurs.
Next, watch three things: 1) whether the current CVD turns positive; 2) whether Friday’s CPI will skew the odds; 3) whether the funding rate has been pushed into crowded longs.
Just remember the slogans. Are you more ETF-backed or spot-king?Oil is becoming the market’s biggest crypto variable.
Brent is approaching $100 as Middle East tensions escalate.
At the same time, US 10Y yields remain near 4.8% and markets see roughly 60% odds of a Fed hike next week.
For $BTC, this is a dangerous mix.
Thursday’s PPI and Friday’s CPI could change the setup fast.US spot $BTC ETFs attracted roughly $1B last week — the third straight week of inflows.
Yet $BTC is still struggling below the top of its $77.2K–$82.1K range.
That’s an interesting divergence: institutional demand is strong, but price still faces heavy supply.
A breakout needs confirmation, not just ETF inflows.Someone asked me, with the market grinding like this, what exactly are those big institutions busy with? Here's a piece of news not in the market section: This week, Morgan Stanley submitted its BTC, ETH, and SOL spot ETF registration documents, and in the same week announced that its proprietary digital wallet will launch in the second half of the year. Besides coins, it will also custody tokenized stocks, bonds, and real estate.
What does this have to do with crypto? It shows that during this round of correction, prices are grinding while the infrastructure is being laid. Traditional finance isn't here to catch the falling knife this time; they're moving the settlement rails onto the blockchain. They don't care how much the price dropped this month; they care about whose ledger the clearing will run on five years from now. This kind of work is never done when the market is good; on the contrary, budgets only get approved when the market is at its dullest. From a fiat perspective, it's another tough month; from a crypto perspective, the discount period is still being extended.
But the word "wallet" needs to be clarified. I had 300,000 U frozen by OKX compliance, and that was when I truly understood: the "wallet" institutions give you is an account that keeps your books for you, not the private keys in your hand. Convenience and self-custody are always a choice between two, with no third way. Morgan Stanley's wallet is the same; it solves the account opening threshold for millions of E*Trade users but does not solve your custody risk.
The coins in your hand—are they stored in a place where someone else keeps your books, or in an address where you hold the keys yourself? BTC Breaks Through 72,000, Short Sellers Liquidated at a Two-Year High
Those watching the market last night probably didn’t sleep well. BTC surged from around 69,000 all the way up, breaking through 72,000 USD at 5:20 PM today, rising 11.8% in 24 hours. This is no small rebound; Coinglass data shows this is the largest short squeeze in the crypto market in nearly two years.
Let’s look at the numbers. In the past 24 hours, total liquidations across the network reached 3.024 billion USD, with short liquidations at 2.77 billion and long liquidations only 252 million. A total of 171,000 people worldwide were swept up by the market. The largest single position was on Hyperliquid—a BTC short worth 48.8 million USD was completely wiped out. The 2.77 billion figure surpasses all previous single-day short liquidation records. Glassnode’s stats are even more dramatic, stating that the daily closing gain corresponds to 5.8 standard deviations, marking the largest upward volatility since October 2023. In plain terms, such a single-day surge has only happened once in three years.
Why such a sudden surge? Several factors combined. The US Treasury announced it would at least double its long-term bond repurchase scale to 4 billion USD each time, starting September 9, pushing down long-term yields and loosening risk assets collectively. At a White House crypto meeting, Trump said the US is considering buying a substantial amount of BTC and urged Congress to pass the CLARITY Act, specifically mentioning bringing Hyperliquid into compliance in the US, even claiming the US has completely ended its war on the crypto industry. HYPE surged over 20% following this, and the White House meeting effectively ignited market sentiment. Capital flows were also active: BTC spot ETFs saw net inflows for three consecutive days, with 517 million USD flowing in yesterday alone, and ETH spot ETFs also gained 189 million. ETH was even more aggressive, rising over 18% in 24 hours, leaving many waiting for a pullback to buy completely stunned.
But don’t just watch the excitement. On-chain data is also warning of risks. Short-term holders sent 44,000 BTC to exchanges yesterday to take profits, setting a single-day record for the year. These holders bought around 67,100 USD, sitting on significant unrealized gains, which could quickly turn into selling pressure. After liquidating 2.77 billion in shorts, the opposing side of the market has thinned, so volatility is likely to increase.
Pay attention to the contract side as well. After the short squeeze, funding rates flipped from negative to positive, meaning longs now have to pay shorts, raising the cost of chasing longs—a short-term warning sign. Open interest remains high, indicating leveraged funds haven’t exited, so the long-short battle will only intensify.
This kind of market is most dangerous for chasing at the peak. It’s normal for prices to break integer levels and then pull back for confirmation. Short-term traders should watch if volume remains during pullbacks and avoid catching the last wave when sentiment is hottest. The long-term view is simpler: continuous net inflows into ETFs show institutions are buying with real money, so holding is better than frequent trading as long as the trend remains intact.
At the 72,000 level, will shorts dare to return? Is this a trend reversal or just a one-night news-driven spike? Share your thoughts in the comments.#SamsungHynix10DaySupply Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix reportedly hold less than ten days of memory-chip inventory, according to KB Securities. The brokerage expects DRAM and NAND demand to exceed available supply by more than ten percentage points next year. Expanding HBM4 production may tighten the market further because high-bandwidth memory requires significantly more wafer capacity than conventional DRAM.
AI infrastructure is driving demand for GPUs, high-speed memory, server DRAM and enterprise storage simultaneously. Tight inventories could improve pricing power and margins for Samsung and SK Hynix, helping explain their recent share-price gains. However, the memory industry is highly cyclical: shortages encourage manufacturers to expand capacity, which can eventually produce oversupply. Investors should watch contract prices, capital expenditure, hyperscaler orders and customer inventory levels. The shortage outlook is currently supportive, but the durability of the opportunity depends on whether projected AI spending becomes real and sustained demand. The Dow dropped 600 points, but Intel surged about 9% in one go.

Before PPI, CPI, and FOMC, don’t chase highs; oil price inflation is still suppressing valuations.
What to do: first watch and don’t chase, reassess positions on pullbacks.

On September 4, the S&P Dow Jones Index announced its adjustment list, and Nike will be removed from the S&P 100 before the US stock market opens on September 21. Also in the same batch are Dell, Palo Alto Networks, Arista Networks, and SanDisk—four tech companies. A sports brand everyone has known since childhood can no longer hold onto this position. Are shoes running out of sales? After being kicked out this time, will another batch of funds want to sell? Can we grab bargains now? On this matter, let's share Yun's perspective. Nike's brand still exists, but the reputation it built over the years can no longer reassure investors by waiting for it to resume growth. The index adjustment has brought this issue to the forefront. However, this adjustment involves the S&P 100, while Nike is still in the S&P 500, and its stock is trading normally. Let's discuss this in detail below. 1. How much impact does being kicked out of the S&P 100 have? Funds tracking the S&P 100 need to adjust their holdings according to the index. For example, iShares' OEF tracks this index. So before and after the adjustment, Nike will face selling pressure from related passive funds. As for how much capital needs to be sold, it depends on the fund size, Nike's weighting, and the actual rebalancing arrangement. Yun believes the impact of this news on sentiment is easy to understand. A well-known established company being removed from the index—does it already fall behind? Even if the effective date expires,$SPCX is about to have another batch of unlocks tonight!
But don't rush in just yet, folks. This time the rhythm might still follow the previous script!
Looking back at the last two unlock events, there was a pretty clear pattern:
A dump before the unlock → a rally after the unlock → then a continued pullback.
In other words, unlocking doesn't necessarily mean a straight upward trend. It's more likely to first shake out short-term panic, then offer a rally opportunity.
So if you're going long this time, the core strategy is to play the expectations, not to greedily chase the last bit.Yesterday I said this trend was off and that I wouldn't stubbornly hold short positions, but today it directly surged to 0.33, with market cap exceeding 300 million USD. This trend has completely detached from technical analysis; shorts keep rushing in one after another, pushing the price higher and higher. Binance and Bybit have over 100 million USD in open contracts, Hyperliquid has newly launched perpetual contracts, liquidity channels keep opening, new funds come in to take over, and from 0.06 a week ago to 0.33 now, it has surged 450%. Shorts are all fuel.
This short squeeze has nothing to do with fundamentals. This project has no roadmap, no whitepaper, no staking, no revenue; its selling point is "USELESS." It's a typical anti-utility Meme coin play on Solana, purely feeding on risk appetite. I don't know if this trend will continue, but for this kind of asset, I choose to watch the show. No matter how much others earn, I’m not envious; preserving principal is better than anything. $USELESS Robinhood announced good news today: the TVL of stock tokens on Robinhood Chain reached $150 million. That same week, institutions were also calculating this chain: transaction fees could reach millions of dollars daily, the share of stock token trading was rising, and the proportion of memes was declining. It looked very much like "RWA has landed." But the $150 million locked isn't locked in your US stocks. Stock tokens follow stock prices and provide exposure; they don't give you equity or voting rights, nor does the company authorize you to become a shareholder. On-chain, you can use these tokens to allocate Memes, build pools, or increase leverage. The numbers are rising, but ownership remains the same. So today's official announcement isn't about "another new high," but about three things: 1. Are you locked in tokens, or the stock you think you are? 2. Is the private key in your own hands? Will you bet everything on a new L2 with a single sequencer? 3. Did anyone warn you before signing: Is this authorization risk, or is it that CatWallet does the last two things: multi-chain self-custody, no key uploads, built-in AI to check exchange paths and risk alerts? Locking up can be impressive, but the wallet must be in your own pocket first. #Robinhood #RobinhoodChain #RWA #StockTokens #CatWallet #Web3钱包 does not constitute investment advice.

The crypto treasury table has split halfway through the meal—some are adding dishes, others are secretly paying the bill.
In the past, public companies managing crypto treasuries followed the same script: when the stock price was more expensive than the coin, they issued new shares to buy coins, the coin price rose, the stock price became even more expensive, and the cycle glorified itself. In the past two months, the script has forked.
$MSTR is the most conflicted. At the end of August, after a 9-week pause, it resumed buying, acquiring 4,603 BTC at an average price of $80,318, spending $370 million; but just today, it doubled the repurchase limit of preferred stock STRC to $2 billion, pausing coin purchases first—this summer it already broke its "never sell coins" vow, selling about 6,900 BTC to cover a hole.
The old play’s key is that the stock price must be higher than the coin. By June, most companies’ premiums had worn off, and the engine for issuing shares to buy coins stalled: Metaplanet stopped for 7 consecutive weeks, imitators quietly exited; Strive and Bitmine are still charging hard, the latter hoarding 5.9 million ETH. The more aggressive the leaders, the clearer the followers.
Simply put, buying coins is stepping on the gas, repurchasing is applying the brakes. If BTC can firmly hold above 80,000, the gas pedal faction will continue to glorify; if it grinds below 77,000, more will sell coins and repurchase to survive.
In a bull market, it’s about who presses the gas harder; in a bear market, it’s about who brakes more skillfully. The above content is for reference only and does not constitute investment advice.ZEC's entry into the top ten is ostensibly a "renaissance" for privacy coins, but at its core, it's a standard institutional narrative closed loop. The core engine behind this surge is very clear: the launch of the Grayscale Zcash Spot ETF (ZCSH) has opened a compliant entry point for traditional funds. Within two weeks of launch, ZCSH's assets under management have surpassed $500 million, with over 550,000 ZEC tokens in holdings, accounting for about 3% of circulating supply. This means that institutions that previously had to build their own wallets and carry private keys to buy privacy coins can now be directly allocated in their US accounts. This "institutional acceleration" has three key impacts on ZEC's future trend: First, the price discovery mechanism has changed. Previously, ZEC was priced by Degen and miners, with sharp fluctuations. Now, with Grayscale as a compliance channel and a $100 million investment from DCG-affiliated entities backing ZCSH, the price bottom support logic is shifting from "narrative expectations" to "real cash holdings." Second, Grayscale's research is painting a pie for the market. The Grayscale report directly sets a model: if ZEC can acquire 10% of BTC's market cap, the price could reach $8,109. This figure may not be accurate, but it instills a psychological anchor in retail investors and institutions that "ZEC still has huge upside potential." Third, reflexivity is accelerating, but the side effects are equally obvious. Price increases increase the value locked in USD in ZEC's privacy pool (shielded pool), making it easier for big players to enter, strengthening the "store-of-value narrative," and attracting more capital. However, the daily RSI has approached 80, which is severely overbought, and the F2 Pool is in a tight spotPeak at listing? $CP got listed on many major exchanges, but the price was halved first!
Cluster Protocol (CP), the AI infrastructure token on the Base chain, was simultaneously listed on Coinbase, OKX, Bitget, KuCoin, and others on September 3.
With such a strong lineup, the result was a -19.7% drop on the first day, followed by another 8% decline on September 5 hitting a new low. The current price is about 0.024-0.027, down roughly 80% from the peak.
The reason is simple: 27.38% circulating at TGE, mostly near-zero-cost airdrop tokens, and listing is the cash-out window.
Good news: The team and VCs have a 12-month cliff lockup, unlocking only in April 2027, so no institutional dumping in the short term. When listed on Upbit, it surged past $0.28 within an hour, showing remarkable volatility, but also dropped back quickly.
Judgment: Do not buy on the left side, wait for stabilization. Take a 1%-2% position to bet on a rebound, cut losses if it falls below $0.02.
The airdrop tokens are a knife; don’t reach out before they land. Strategy no longer increases its BTC holdings; instead, it used $176 million to repurchase STRC preferred shares. A company that has always focused on hoarding coins is now refining its capital structure calculations. Previously, Strategy's operational logic was to raise funds by issuing stocks and bonds, using all the capital to buy BTC, relying on the coin price increase to boost the company's valuation. However, this model has a strict premise: the BTC purchased through financing must be able to increase the value per share. Once the company's stock price loses its premium, combined with rising financing costs, continuing to issue more shares to buy coins will result in an increase in the total amount of coins held by the company but a dilution of BTC per share for shareholders. This time, repurchasing preferred shares is more cost-effective than continuing to buy coins. On one hand, it can reduce future pressure from interest, dividends, and redemptions; on the other hand, it sends a signal to the market that Strategy is not just hoarding Bitcoin but is actively optimizing its capital and debt structure. Compared to other crypto treasury companies, Strive continues to buy BTC, indicating its judgment that financing to buy coins can still increase asset value per share; BitMine, after increasing its ETH holdings, has pledged about 85% of its holdings to try to generate passive income from ETH. In short, Strive chooses to expand BTC exposure, BitMine focuses on mining ETH yields, and Strategy turns to optimizing financing and repurchasing. It has not abandoned BTC and still holds 845,100 BTC in its account. The second half of the crypto treasury game is no longer a simple coin hoarding competition but revolves around value per share.Currently, the CME FedWatch pricing for a 25bp rate hike in September has risen to about 60%. Institutions like Bank of America and Citibank have turned hawkish. A former Federal Reserve economist and the proposer of the "Sam recession rule" publicly supports a 25bp hike in September and even suggests a cumulative 50-75bp hike by year-end. Due to the high historical validity of his recession prediction framework, this statement further boosts market rate hike expectations. However, the Federal Reserve is currently in a clear dilemma. The logic supporting a rate hike is strong employment resilience and energy prices pushing inflation stickiness. Not hiking risks inflation rebound and damages policy credibility. The reasons against tightening are equally clear: part of this inflation comes from supply shocks like oil prices and tariffs, which monetary policy has limited effect on. Too rapid a hike would impact real estate, consumer spending, and corporate financing, potentially triggering a hard economic landing. The August CPI released on September 11 is the core decisive variable. The market expects overall year-on-year at 3.4% and core year-on-year at 2.4%. If the data is significantly hotter, a rate hike is basically confirmed; if the data is below expectations, the probability of a hike quickly falls, and the Fed will hold steady. Transmitted to the crypto space, BTC and ETH, as long-duration, cash-flow-free risk assets, are highly sensitive to rising interest rates and real yields. A rate hike will suppress valuations, benefit the dollar and U.S. Treasuries, and be bearish for the broader market. If CPI weakens and rate hike expectations cool, liquidity recovery and a rebound may occur. It is also important to distinguish pricing levels: the current 60% rate hike expectation is already partially priced in. The real risk is data being hotter than expected plus hawkish guidance upon implementation, which could trigger concentrated deleveraging in risk assets.Today I talked about the halving cycle chart, and I'll answer the most frequently asked questions in the comments section at the end. Using vertical lines of different colors to mark the halving time, 500 days before and 500 days after the halving on the candlestick, you can clearly see that historically, the 500 days before each halving are basically the price bottom or relative bottom, and the 500 days after the halving basically correspond to the top. The peak at 69,000 was the same, the 124,000 to 126,000 yuan period, and the 112,000 period also corresponds to the 500-day window after the halving. Based on this calculation, the next halving will be in mid-2028, and the next sell window (500 days after the halving) will be September 2029. But as the timeline shortens, the selling point may also move earlier. You have to start watching in February or March in the first half of 2029. Right now, a group of people are waiting to bottom-fish in October and November this year. Their logic is: the previous top was in early October last year, and up to this October is exactly a bear market, which fits the "one year of decline" period in the four-year cycle; plus the next 500 days before the halving is in November. With these two conditions combined, it's clear you can't buy until the time comes. I think 57,700 is the lowest point of this bear market, with over 98% certainty. Is it reasonable to bottom two or three months early? Historically, there have been cases where the lowest point of a certain round was $3,100, also not stuck at the standard time 500 days before the halving; it took several months of consolidation after bottoming out to reach that point. Q: According to the 500-day chart you posted, it's not the lowest point yet, right? The 500 days before the halving are still far off
