Within just one week, market expectations for the passage of the CLARITY Act collapsed sharply.
Current market pricing shows that the bill has only a 37% chance of being successfully implemented within 2026. This figure held steady at 42% this Tuesday, and earlier this spring, the market once believed the bill was more likely to pass than 80%. Galaxy Research also lowered its forecast last Friday, lowering the probability of the bill from 50% earlier this month to 30%.
This bill is regarded by the market as a milestone regulatory framework for the U.S. crypto industry. Once implemented, it will solidify Bitcoin's digital commodity status through written law, eliminate the risk of repeated regulatory policy changes over the long term, and further remove barriers for large institutions to allocate $BTC. Many previous Bitcoin rally periods have already priced in optimistic expectations for this policy. Now that expectations for the bill's passage have cooled rapidly, the market needs to gradually absorb this policy premium, and regulatory uncertainty has once again become a medium- to long-term risk suppressing Bitcoin's price.
Senate Majority Leader Soane has stated publicly that he does not expect the bill to reach a final vote before the August recess, but he still hopes to push the bill into full Senate deliberation. If the window before the August recess is missed, the legislative process will likely be significantly delayed, and the time for policy benefits to be realized will continue to be extended.
For the bill to take effect, 60 votes in favor must be collected. Currently, Republicans hold only 53 seats in the Senate, with a significant vote gap. To break the filibuster-obstructing rules, they must win the support of multiple Democratic lawmakers across party lines, making current negotiations much more difficult than optimistic spring market forecasts.Many crypto investors have noticed that whenever the MEME sector rebounds, the first thing investors target is often $PEPE. Compared to the endless variety of native dogs, this little frog always manages to attract market attention repeatedly. Today, let's talk about its underlying logic and hidden pitfalls. First, background summary: PEPE was born in 2023, relying on the viral sad frog meme meme that went viral online, becoming the pioneer of the new wave of MEME. Unlike early DOGE and SHIB, it launches fairly, does not involve institutional private funding, and quickly attracts retail investors through meme culture, sparking a frog-themed meme craze across the internet. As a leading meme coin in the Ethereum ecosystem, its greatest advantage is its moderate market cap + top-tier liquidity. Unlike SHIB, which is massive and requires massive capital to surge; Moreover, compared to the endless small Dogou traders, trading depth is abundant, so entering and exiting the market won't slip easily, making speculative funds especially favored for short-term trading. Let's talk about the core logic of the current market: MEME funds always prefer the new and discard the old, but most new coins have very short lifespans and lose their hype within days. Whenever a new round of Dogecoin speculation ends, funds seeking safer speculative targets will flow back into PEPE. The market pattern is very clear: there is no long-term slow bull market; the market moves entirely according to market speculation. When the overall market's risk appetite increases and retail investors are willing to gamble, it surges rapidly; When capital shifts to narratives like AI and RWA, the hype fades, and prices quickly fall. Many people fall into a common misconception: treating PEPE as an asset to be accumulated long-term. It must be made clear: PEPE has no business launch, no ecosystem sustained returns, noRecently, BitMEX announced it would cease operations, and BitMart began to withdraw.
Just looking at one exchange shutting down doesn't say much, but as similar incidents become more common, it's worth reconsidering:
How many real new users and new capital do these industries actually have?
Just because an industry moves from incremental to stock doesn't mean it will disappear.
It's just that the old "everyone has something to eat" phase is coming to an end.
What is more likely to be seen next is the clearing of the weak, concentration of the top, and competition for existing stocks.
At the same time, traditional finance is also continuously entering the crypto space, and competition from native exchanges will only become fiercer in the future.
So sometimes, what's more important than predicting tomorrow's rise or fall is clearly understanding what stage the industry is currently in.
Price is the result; structural changes often happen earlier. Jumped 25% instantly! You told me it was a rebound? This is the main ascent wave! $BERA this move was so sudden, a bullish candlestick jumped straight up, and everyone in the group was asking what exactly happened. I checked on-chain news, and the first phase of the PoL Next upgrade has officially started. Simply put, Berachain wants to change the dual-token model, retire BGT directly, and from now on, all rewards across the network will be settled using WBERA. This change is huge—it completely overturns the old 'stake BGT to earn rewards' old system. Don't panic yet; I actually think this is a positive development. Veteran miners understand that although BGT offers a lot, liquidity is poor and monetization is troublesome, so the long-term lock-up experience is really poor. Now switching to WBERA means opening up the reward channel, allowing you to deposit and swap anytime, and retail investors can play too. Previously, during the BGT era, many people were afraid to enter because the operation was too complicated. Now, the entry barrier has been cut in half. The market is currently chaotic—some are dumping shares and selling off positive news, while others are frantically buying to gamble on new mechanisms. I think don't chase highs in the short term, but those with positions can hold steady and see if TVL can explode once new pools open. If TVL doubles, then breaking through previous highs for $BERA really isn't just a dream. That said, the PoL mechanism itself is Berachain's core moat. This time, changing the underlying economic model is an upgrade to put it nicely, but to put it bluntly, it's a bit risky. After all, the old BGT miners might not be willing; if their interests are passive, everyone will be scolded. But the market bought this account, and candlesticks don't lie. The current sentiment is straightforward—funds are presentMajority Party Leader Threatens: CLARITY Difficult to Pass Before Adjournment, What Should OKX Users Think?
Just now, Senate Majority Leader John Thune made it clear that the likelihood of the CLARITY Act passing before the August recess is very low.
This news has had an impact on the global crypto market, especially for users trading on OKX, and it's worth a careful analysis.
Why is the CLARITY Act important to OKX users?
The core of the CLARITY Act is to clearly define regulatory boundaries for the U.S. digital asset market—specifying which are under SEC oversight and what is under CFTC, providing a clearer compliance framework for spot trading, derivatives, and stablecoins.
For a global trading platform like OKX, the direction of U.S. regulation directly impacts:
Institutional capital willingness to enter the US dollar stablecoin liquidity environment requires long-term asset pricing logic with high compliance requirements
If the bill passes smoothly, the certainty in the U.S. market will increase, and institutional funds will be more willing to participate; If delays continue, the regulatory ambiguity period will lengthen, and funds will remain on the sidelines, suppressing volatility and risk appetite.
The current time window is already very tight
Thun's statement basically confirmed reality:
The Senate is expected to enter a summer recess in early August, and with midterm elections approaching, political priorities will shift rapidly. Even if debates can begin, completing all procedures before the recess will be extremely difficult. Although the latest text includes an ethical clause (restricting senior officials from issuing crypto assets), Democrats still need at least seven cross-party votes, and so far, no clear breakthrough in the vote base is visible.
The actual impact on OKX traders
Short-term sentiment: The news is bearish, but the market has already priced in some 'delays before the recess,' so the probability of a sharp drop is low, and the rebound is mainly suppressed.
Medium-term logic: Regulatory uncertainty continues, institutional large funds will remain cautious, putting sustained pressure on high-beta knockoffs and small- and mid-cap projects.
Trading Perspective: Mainstream coins and trading pairs on OKX remain highly liquid, but overall risk appetite may continue to lean defensively.
How to respond?
Don't assume "the bill will definitely pass" as a prerequisite for the deal; the current probability has clearly decreased.
Watching whether the September session can restart and advance will be the next key window of observation.
The CLARITY Act has been in place for a long time, and now what's really stuck isn't the technical provisions, but timing and politics. Thun's words effectively gave the market a heads-up: stop treating "immediate implementation" as a short-term catalyst.
For OKX users, the most pragmatic attitude is to treat regulation as a long-term variable, not as a short-term trading signal. Risk control and strategic planning should still be done at your own pace. #多数党领袖称CLARITY休会前难通过 #美军暂停对伊空袭, negotiations on the opening of the strait made progress
The US and Iran respond to the peace talks proposal! Geopolitical breakthroughs are good for oil prices, but don't treat negotiations like a thirst-quenching spring
Today (26th), Sputnik Arab and Saudi media reported in succession that the United States and Iran have officially responded to Pakistan and Qatar's proposal to resume negotiations.
Once the news broke, many trading groups started to stir again, feeling that "the most dangerous moment in the Middle East is over, and risk assets are about to fly away." To be honest, seeing this logic of rushing in and leveraging high leverage based on a geopolitical essay, I can only remind you: equating diplomatic negotiation responses directly with liquidity floods in the crypto market is a typical macro misalignment.
From the perspective of traders on the market, let's carefully analyze the truth behind the resumption of US-Iran negotiations:
First, the U.S.-Iran responded to the negotiations by squeezing out the "geopolitical war premium" from Brent crude when it sprinted to $100. While the drop in crude oil does help ease medium- and long-term inflationary pressures, the transmission chain is extremely long—from falling oil prices, to CPI data reflecting it, and then to the Fed changing its stance at policy meetings, there is at least one or two quarters of macroeconomic lag in between.
Second, geopolitical easing cannot resolve the unresolved decisions by the Federal Reserve and Bank of Japan next week. Next week, we will face the FOMC rate decision, with the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield firmly stuck at 4.7%. The Federal Reserve, the largest source of liquidity, has not yet been tapped; the average daily inflow of on-chain stablecoins remains at a nearly one-year low, and the market remains brutally contested through stock accumulation.
Third, diplomatic negotiations themselves are a long tug-of-war of interests. Pakistan's mediation between Pakistan and Qatar is just the beginning; subsequent issues involving sanctions lifting, nuclear facility supervision, and detailed rules for strait navigation safety could be repeated and twisted at any time. The biggest feature of geopolitical news is its high volatility and easy reversal. Using it as leverage results in a very low win rate.
My conclusion: The U.S.-Iran response to the peace talks is good for macro deinflation, but it is by no means the cure for a short-term surge in the crypto market. Before U.S. Treasury yields back and off-exchange incremental funds have not entered, any upward surge without volume is a trap for a bullish shakeout.
In terms of operations, I don't recommend rushing to leverage and go long just because you see news about peace talks. Rather than betting on the details of geopolitical negotiations, it's better to calm down and wait for next week's FOMC decision to see the real flow of funds before making any plans.
Do you think the US and Iran can reach a substantive agreement this time under Qatar's mediation? Let's talk in the comments.#以太坊验证者退出队列已降至零
I am the mid-term intelligence guy.
The Ethereum validator exit queue has dropped to zero. I've been watching this chain for almost a year—last September, the peak of 2.67 million ETH queued to exit was a panic sell-off at a high point; now that it's zero, it means "those who wanted to sell have already sold," and what's left are institutional treasuries, ETFs, and long-term nodes holding locked positions.
But don't get carried away. Exit queue zeroing ≠ immediate price surge; it only proves one thing: the endogenous selling pressure has been cleared in stages, and the market has shifted from "self-destructive realization" to "trading time for space." On the other side, the entry queue is stacked with about 2.48 million ETH, waiting 43 days. The supply-demand gap looks bullish, but queued entry does not equal new buying demand; much of it is existing ETH being re-staked, so don't directly equate "staking demand" with "price increase."
Mid-term judgment: The on-chain ETH chip structure is cleaner than in Q1, with a staking rate of 33.5%+ hitting a historic high, providing a floor below; but a real price breakout still depends on macro liquidity and whether L2 fees can hold. This signal means "the bottom is stable," not a "charge signal," so don't go all-in just because of one queue data point.
$ETH Clearing away the dust from clay tablets on the Mesopotamian plains three thousand years ago, the alliances and rivalries of the Far Eastern silicon kingdom before our eyes are nothing but a cliché of the Assyrian Empire and the Hittites vying for bronze ore veins!
When the two major high-bandwidth memory minting giants on the Korean Peninsula—Samsung and Hynix—were deeply bound on the same day by a long-term supply agreement and strategic heavy investment with the AI giant Ansoropic, it seemed even the dust on the archaeologist’s desk was shaken off by this bloody storm. I seemed to smell the urgency before the Peloponnesian War, when major city-states frantically stockpiled iron ore and grain. More intriguingly, Ansoropic’s new flagship model Opus 5, with performance approaching the extreme, was priced at half the cost. This is by no means an act of charity but a common historical pattern of “cheap iron strangling expensive bronze” — in the Roman military records, whoever could feed double the legions with half the grain could use their military edge to conquer all the city-states around the Mediterranean.
Meanwhile, the computing power pope Nvidia injected a billion dollars into Naver to build a computing fortress and joined forces with SK Group to construct an energy Great Wall reaching two gigawatts. This mirrors the imperial projects of Caesar in the first century BC, who built Roman roads, massive aqueducts, and underground granaries on the Gallic frontier. Computing power has long ceased to be a mere commodity and has evolved into the “imperial salt and iron monopoly” of the new era. When production capacity and electricity become insurmountable war barriers, veteran Intel surged over thirteen percent after its quarterly report, with Qualcomm following suit—these seemingly decaying ancient foundries are drawing their swords anew amid the ruins, signaling the entire industry’s shift from illusory bubble revelry to a bloody and brutal “capacity arms race.”
On the capital market’s reflected chain, the token $XPLTR, backed by an intelligence analysis giant, is the most insidious “imperial secret guard” in this new era arms race. As AI infrastructure is completely locked down by Far Eastern wafer fabs and North American warlord giants, the turbulence $XPLTR transmits on the secondary market carries not just corporate financial figures on paper but the fervent premium triggered by the empire’s intelligence network as it dams computing power. Just as the chief Roman spies sold military secrets to the Senate for gold coins, today’s speculators bet on tokens on the digital chain to gamble on war dividends. The deep human greed for power and information monopoly has not changed a bit over thousands of years.
There is nothing new under the sun. Whether it was the Phoenicians’ spice routes three thousand years ago, the California gold rush in the nineteenth century, or today’s high-bandwidth memory and gigawatt-scale clusters racing ahead, the essence of the frenzy is always the violent monopoly of scarce resources by the powerful capitalists. When the last wafer pipeline is laid, the fervent speculators will ultimately realize they have only paid a high minting tax once again on this empire’s ruins built of silicon wafers and tokens, for the ancient human weaknesses! #KoreaAIChipPush Unlike many little local dogs

Let's also talk about a few hot topics🚨 BREAKING: 🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iran Signals It Will Halt Attacks If The US Keeps Strikes Paused
A possible off-ramp. Iran says it will stop its attacks as long as the US maintains the pause in its military operations. This follows the US holding off on new strikes for the first time in nearly two weeks, after 13 straight days of bombing Iranian targets.
Why it matters for markets is the oil chain. This conflict has kept a floor under crude by threatening the Strait of Hormuz, the waterway carrying a fifth of the world's oil. Every escalation pushed oil up, which revived inflation fear, which kept the Fed boxed in on rate cuts and pressured risk assets like Bitcoin. A genuine pause reverses that. Softer oil eases inflation worry, and that is the friendly setup crypto has been waiting for into the July 29 Fed meeting.
Here is the honest part, and it's essential. This exact scenario has played out three times already this year. Ceasefires in April, June, and again in July all collapsed within days, each time sending oil spiking and markets lower. The pause is a de-escalation signal, not a resolution. Netanyahu visits Trump next week, Trump has already threatened more strikes, and the mediators have watched every prior truce unravel.
What to watch:
Whether the pause holds through Netanyahu's visit and into next week.
Oil's reaction, and whether Bitcoin can reclaim $65K on the relief.
A ceasefire signal is genuinely good news, but this conflict has burned every optimist who bought it as permanent. Trade the confirmation, not the headline, and keep risk tight into an event that has flipped overnight before.
Does this pause finally hold, or crack like every truce before it?

$SHIB suddenly erupted on July 26, becoming the focus of the market. The price surged sharply from around $0.0000042, reaching an intraday high of $0.0000058, marking a more than two-month high. At the time of writing, SHIB was fluctuating around $0.0000056, with a 24-hour increase of as much as 35.37%. Trading volume expanded simultaneously, with market capitalization surging by about $1 billion in a single day. South Korea's Upbit exchange has become the main source of buying, and SHIB has reestablished its position as the "second-largest meme coin by market capitalization."

Key support and resistance levels 📊
After five consecutive massive 4-hour candlestick spikes, the price has broken through several short-term resistance levels. The RSI surged to the extreme overbought zone at 79.88. The daily chart shows SHIB testing the 200-day moving average near $0.0000050.
Resistance levels: 0.0000058 - 0.0000060 (intraday high and integer level); 0.0000067 (May high, strong medium-term resistance); 0.00000628 (Key support lost in May, now turning into resistance).
Support below: 0.0000050 (200-day moving average and psychological barrier); 0.0000045 (Previous resistance, turned to support after breakout); 0.00000412 (June low and last line of support for bulls).

On-chain market players and capital movements 🐋
Whale Re-enters: A SHIB whale that has been dormant for about six months has resumed accumulating, buying over 30 billion SHIB for approximately $125,000.
Exchange reserves hit a historic low: SHIB reserves on centralized exchanges have dropped to about 86.1 trillion, a historic low. In recent weeks, SHIB holdings on exchanges have continued to decline, and selling pressure may be easing.
Mysterious whales locked up for a long time: a whale cluster that has held about 103 trillion SHIB since 2020 (accounting for 8.51% of total supply) has not been sold off on a large scale to date.
Contract shorts were washed out: During this rally, about 2,300 traders were liquidated, totaling approximately $6 million, with shorts accounting for about $5 million.
---
Positive factors ✨
Burn rate surges 3200%: SHIB's burn rate surged over 3200% in the past 24 hours, about 500% weekly. The cumulative burned amount has exceeded 410.84 trillion, with the original supply down by 41.08%.
Korean retail investors are buying frenziedly: SHIB's trading volume on South Korea's Upbit exchange is almost on par with Binance, with KRW trading pairs accounting for over 10% of global trading and showing a slight premium over the US dollar market.
Whales resume accumulating: whales who had been dormant for half a year are buying again, combined with exchange reserves hitting historic lows—the dual tightening on the supply side creates strong supply and demand support.
---
Bearish factors ⚠️
Technical indicators are overbought across the board: RSI reached 79.88, %B value as high as 1.44 (price well above the upper Bollinger Band). Historically, there is a high probability of mean reversion within 1-3 trading days after such extreme readings.
Trading volume does not match gains: Binance spot trading volume is only $42.9 million. For a 32% gain, this volume is clearly low, more like amplification caused by thin liquidity.
KOL Collective Silence: SHIB surged over 30% in a single day, but mainstream crypto opinion leaders collectively remained silent—historically, this silence often appears at the top of peak candles.
---
Comprehensive assessment 🧐
$SHIB is currently in an extremely overbought state, following a typical short squeeze rally. Frenzied buying by Korean retail investors, whale accumulation, and a 3200% surge in burn rates have all acted as strong short-term catalysts. However, technical signals such as an RSI close to 80, a %B as high as 1.44, and mismatched trading volume and gains are all warning signs—CoinCodex forecasts a year-end target of only $0.0000034, about 18% lower than the current level. In the short term, watch if 0.0000050 can hold: If the sideways movement with shrinking volume cools the overbought indicator, there is a chance to re-attack 0.0000058-0.0000060; if it falls back quickly, the first support below is at 0.0000045. Chasing at higher prices carries great risk; it is recommended to wait for stabilization signals after a pullback.

I used to treat staking and burning

Now they feel more like ballast stones in a choppy market
They don’t guarantee a rise tomorrow
But they punish you for putting all your positions

My hands are shaking while putting on makeup
Mostly from FOMO

Slow money is suitable for base position logic
Not for ultra-short-term ignition
HYPE burn and ETH queue zeroing
I will keep them on my mid-term watchlist
Positioning will continue to favor spot and low leverage
Leave the "shaking hands" to makeup
Not to the open position button
I glanced at today’s news, a few points to mention:
#黄仁勋首推开源AI公开信，获行业集体背书
The open-source initiative has pushed AI narrative back to the center of public opinion, but the competition between computing power and model routes may not immediately turn into crypto buying pressure. Slow money prefers cash flow and lock-up structures, not the hype of an open letter. I treat this as a backdrop for tech risk appetite; main position logic still focuses on BTC levels and ETH staking supply and demand.
#RWA永续月交易量4700亿美元
RWA perpetual volume hitting $470 billion shows that after traditional assets go on-chain, there really is a trading layer, not just a custody narrative. Like burning and staking, it belongs to the "slow structure," winning on sustainability and fees, not weekend sentiment pulses. I will track share and basis, not speculate on unknown altcoins just because of the RWA acronym.
#以太坊验证者退出队列已降至零
Queue zeroing reduces recent concerns about concentrated exits, a plus for ETH mid-term supply and demand, but short-term still depends on overall market risk appetite. Hayes’ continued buying looks more like high-net-worth cash flow voting, not retail slogans. My approach is to treat ETH as a slow position to observe, not to chase a queue number with high leverage over the weekend.

But the rate doesn't match the attack script

Not on Sunday nights to the max
So my judgment is

It's not suitable to leverage based on intuition
Discount rates to zero and increase holdings
The biggest fear is a false breakout and a real stop-loss
I only kept Kocang for trial and error
The main warehouse continues to focus on spot trading
The phrase "I know the whale"
Deleted from the trading log
And by the way, let's take a look at what everyone has been talking about lately:
#多数党领袖称CLARITY休会前难通过
If the bill's progress is further delayed, contract trading usually cuts event gambling positions first, and the rate discount actually means the same thing: no one wants to pay a high cost of funding for an uncertain calendar. Regulatory gaps will prolong the volatility period and do not equate to a one-sided crash order. I will treat CLARITY as a source of volatility, not betting on the recess narrative.
#美军暂停对伊空袭, negotiations on the opening of the strait made progress
Geopolitical easing is most directly impacted by oil prices and risk premiums. It's reasonable for crypto to rise slightly over the weekend, but the rate not rising suggests that leverage remains cautious. If ceasefires or negotiations are repeated, it is most likely to cause back-and-forth losses on the contract side. In terms of trading, I'd rather express optimism with spot trading than push the multiplier up in a news vacuum.
#韩国存储双雄获AI双巨头大单
AI hardware orders can boost risk appetite, but it's hard for crypto funding rates to be directly raised over the weekend—the clocks for these two are fundamentally different. The heated equity narrative and cold contract sentiment are typical cross-market misalignments. I only treat the chip orders as background warmth, not as "tonight should go twenty times."

Funding rates for BTC are near zero,
indicating leverage isn't wildly taking sides.
The anomalies are more about token and address behavior,
not an index-level trend shift.
So my judgment is
closing anomalies should be analyzed separately.
Depositing to exchanges doesn’t mean immediate dumping.
Accumulating doesn’t mean a pump tomorrow.
My own rule is
not to follow celebrity addresses’ emotions,
only treat large inflows and outflows as risk signals.
Positions remain biased toward spot.
And I’m uninstalling my roommate’s late-night all-in trading from my computer.
Back to hot topics outside the main market, a few things are interesting today:
#Ethereum validator exit queue has dropped to zero
Queue at zero means the pressure to withdraw staked assets has eased temporarily,
and the narrative about queuing to enter is being brought up again.
ETH is relatively stronger today,
which aligns somewhat with the "staking willingness stabilizing" logic,
but price elasticity is still constrained by the overall market and risk appetite.
I treat queue data as a mid-term supply-demand background,
not a reason for ultra-short leveraged trades.
#Samsung Galaxy Wallet will natively support stablecoins
The mobile giant embedding stablecoins into its system wallet is a payment-level signal,
more useful than publishing a hundred educational articles.
Actual implementation depends on regions, coins, and fee structures,
and it’s unlikely to immediately boost public chain altcoins.
I’m more focused on whether stablecoin circulation and on-chain activity will rise afterward,
rather than chasing concept tokens first.
#Earnings observers: Who can understand the real report cards from Google and Tesla this time?
The aftershocks of tech giants’ earnings still anchor risk assets.
Weekend crypto showed independent small fluctuations,
which doesn’t mean equity risk is fully released.
If closing anomalies coincide with fast-report narratives,
it’s easy to get a mismatch of "full stories, empty positions."
I choose to treat earnings as a Monday linkage variable,
just recording today without chasing the rally.

They officially moved perpetual contracts into the US, starting with $BTC and $ ETH nano contracts start rolling 24/7, come with built-in leveraged tracking, spot prices have no expiration date. Yes, that's the financial monster that supports 90% of global crypto trading. Now it's openly stepping into the compliant market. I stared at the screen for a long time, and honestly, my fingers were shaking. Previously, if you wanted to play perpetual, you had to go to offshore exchanges. Now, locally you can run a certain institution with automatic settlement of funding rates. Isn't this basically opening a legal casino for American retail investors? CME got anxious and immediately sued to crush it. The established exchanges panicked, because once perpetual contracts are implemented, who would still play traditional futures? ？ There's no expiration date, no need to repeatedly move positions; liquidity absorbed in an instant. I actually think the more urgent CME is, the more it shows this thing is really damaging. But think about how small retail investors used to be on offshore exchanges when they blew positions, at least they could shift blame on the platform. Now it's compliant and it crashes, so it's a real blowout. Liquidation engines won't talk about perpetual sword. It's a double-edged sword. In overseas markets, it has already proven its ability to attract money and cut losses. Especially with high emotional leverage, once leverage, a ten-minute reverse direction can take you out. Compliant liquidation, on-chain battle royale, used to be a covert game, now openly brought up. Institutional entry definitely benefits liquidation, but for ordinary players, I think it's better to stabilize first Chasing the high without answering the needle should wait until the market has digested this wave of shock. Sisters, holding steady in this situation isn't something that can be done overnight. Let the big players attack first. Let's see clearly before following the #加密行情回暖. Bitcoin rises #芯片股反弹, US stocks bear#美军暂停对伊空袭, negotiations on the opening of the strait made progress
On July 25, Trump ordered a pause in airstrikes against Iran.
Thirteen consecutive days of strikes, with a daily battle plan review. On the 14th day, the plan was laid out on the table but not signed.
A few hours earlier, the Omani delegation had just arrived in Tehran. The discussion concerns the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. The Qatar Maritime Authority acted even faster—directly announcing the full resumption of all maritime shipping starting July 26.
Regional countries have already confirmed that risks have decreased.
But Trump's exact words were: "If you can't get what you want 100%, you will definitely consider resuming total war."
So it's not a ceasefire. It's a pause. Two words make up an entire peace agreement.
$CL Direct Reaction — Single-day -4.33%, pulling back from above $100. $BZ -4.47%。
That is, go long ...... crude oil around $100, and in the middle of the night, Trump sent a message with a gap of 3% at the open. The volatility of this product is not determined by technical factors; it is determined by a single word from one person.
Some people in the community are selling CL 10x for over 10x, costing 85.14, and the current price is just right above the cost line. This position is awkward: if it's flat, there's fear of a weekend agreement and oil prices crash; if not, fears Trump might post another message in the middle of the night.
There was a detail that caught me off guard—the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff had privately warned that expanding operations would dangerously deplete the Patriot interceptor missile stockpiles. Someone in the community put it even more bluntly: the missiles were almost all fired and had to stop.
It's exactly like trading—you're not defeated by the market, you are defeated by margin.
There are currently two core issues with oil prices: whether a verbal ceasefire can be turned into a written agreement, and whether shipping across the strait can be restored. Issue a written agreement, and oil prices will move below $90. The negotiation broke down, and prices kept rising above $100.
Some community views suggest that the roots are in the midterm elections in November. Oil prices push up inflation, inflation drives up prices, and prices affect votes. "All policies are for votes, every market movement is emotional fluctuations"—this statement may not sound flattering, but it is powerful enough to explain.
$CL At the $100 level, everything depends on Trump's message, so technical pricing is impossible. Before the weekend negotiations are finalized, don't bet on direction.
Whether Oman can reach a written agreement in negotiations over the weekend, and the actual implementation of Qatar's maritime resumption—these two issues will be directly priced into the opening price of CL/BZ during Monday's Asian session. Just keep an eye on it.
Without an agreement, airstrikes could resume at any time. The price of $100 for oil won't disappear on its own.

Ethereum validator exit queue cleared: the door was open, no one left
Exit the channel, empty.
The data on the beaconcha.in is cold: the exit queue resets to zero, you can unlock it anytime, and the funds arrive instantly.
Meanwhile, 2.48 million ETH are lining up to enter the market, stuck at the entrance, waiting an average of 43 days.
Half a year ago, this channel was blocked with 2.6 million coins, causing a stir in the market. Now that the escape route is open, no one is taking that step.
Two streams of people once brushed past each other in the passage, bidding farewell and going their separate ways. Now, the people who brushed past each other are gone—the old players are gone, but new players keep coming in.
Total staked is 40.9 million tokens, accounting for 33.55% of supply, with 885,000 validators online. The direction has already been cut: net outflow is reversed into net inflow.
You ask why?
Yield: 2.64%.
In 2023, it can be strong; for now, neighboring US Treasuries are 4.5%, oil prices are in triple digits, and inflation is suffocating the FOMC. 2.64% In this environment, whether you count the returns or the faith depends entirely on how you define "opportunity cost."
So here's the question: 2.48 million coins waiting to enter the market—whose money is it?
Part of it is institutional allocation, looking at ETH's USD exposure, not annualized USD. 2.64% is just a bonus; the underlying logic is "I need to occupy a spot on the network."
The other part is overseas capital, bypassing compliance hurdles and completing its layout before CLARITY is implemented—regardless of what next year's bill looks like, just standing at the node first.
The consensus between the two groups is: 2.64% are not here to make money, but to buy positions.
But if ETH's price reaches a certain tipping point, the exit gate becomes crowded instantly. Nowadays, no one is leaving—not because they don't want to, but because the price isn't at the level that makes people want to leave.
Oil prices are waiting for protocols, bills for clauses to be removed, ETH staking waiting for prices to give new answers.
Everyone was waiting.
But at least for now, the direction is clear: the exit door is open, and no one steps out. The line for entry was lined up, and no one left.
Waiting for the wind? The wind is already in the staking pool.After showering and lying in bed at night, I watched the market downward and saw BTC fall from 66,900 to 63,700 this round, then slowly recover to around 64,500. I feel the current market state is quite interesting.
Those who have been waiting for a correction for days ago may have really found their chance.
Bottom-fishing funds entering near 63,666 have indeed secured a good position. BTC is currently fluctuating around 64,500. If you follow a short-term perspective, some may consider placing a 3x leveraged limit long position, with a stop-loss at 63,500 and targets above 65,800 and 66,300.
However, from my own perspective at this level, I wouldn't blindly chase long positions just because it dropped; I still need to consider several signals.
First, the 63,666 area is quite critical because it rebounded after testing twice on July 20 and July 24, indicating some short-term capital support here.
Second, the current funding rate is only about 0.004%, with no signs of overheating in the long market. At the same time, OI saw a net inflow of about $110 million today, and ETFs have continuously attracted funds for seven consecutive days, totaling nearly $1 billion. These figures show that the market is not entirely without capital attention.
Of course, if you're not used to leverage, I think placing spot in batches is much more comfortable. The biggest risk in a contract is not directional judgment, but leverage turning normal volatility into forced exit.
Now let's look at the surrounding environment.
Last night, U.S. tech stocks came under pressure, with the Nasdaq falling 0.64%; A-shares also performed weakly, with the Shanghai Composite Index down 1.61%, and the Hong Kong tech sector also showing weakness, with overall market risk appetite clearly declining.
Additionally, escalating tensions in the Middle East have pushed Brent crude toward around $100, raising the market's probability of a rate hike in September to 61%. According to traditional logic, these factors would put pressure on risk assets.
Interestingly, BTC did not continue to weaken sharply, instead holding steady near 64,500.
My own feeling is that the market is now undergoing a wave of emotional cleansing. Funds that chased previous gains were shaken out, and those hoping to buy at low prices began to re-observe, and the market actually entered a more balanced state.
Technically, the 66,924 on July 21 and 66,711 on July 22 have connected, forming a short-term downward resistance line. Although the slope is not very large, it does limit the rebound potential.
The good news is that the support at 63,666 has already been tested twice.
Currently, BTC is trading sideways around 64,500, with open interest (OI) turning positive for three consecutive days and funding rates dropping from 0.006% to 0.004%. My understanding is that some of the leveraged sentiment in the market has already been released, unlike the crowded phase of chasing rallies at high levels.
If it rebounds to around 66,300, I personally prefer to observe first and even reduce positions in batches, rather than blindly hoping for further gains. Although the MACD green bars are shortening, they have not yet formed a clear golden cross, so there is no need to aggressively advance too early.
The flow of funds is also worth attention.
BTC saw a net OI inflow of about $114 million today, marking three consecutive days of positive gains; ETH also saw a net inflow of about $71 million. Both sides have capital participating, but BTC is relatively more stable.
In terms of fees, BTC is currently moderately bullish, with no obvious overheating; ETH has even turned negative, indicating that bears are paying the cost of funding to the bulls.
Now let's look at ETH.
ETH fell from $1,959 to $1,846, then rebounded to around $1,881, showing greater volatility and greater resilience than BTC.
Notably, the ETH funding rate has become **-0.0019%**, meaning short sellers must pay long positions funding every 8 hours. Historically, such situations sometimes serve as rebound signals.
But I think ETH's current problems are also obvious, with a cumulative pullback of about 5% this week, and market confidence has not fully recovered. So if I were to do contracts, I personally would still prioritize BTC, which is a relatively stable product.
If I want to bet on an ETH rebound, I tend to favor a light position near $1,870, with a focus on the risk level below $1,840.
Overall, I think the market is not simply bullish or bearish but waiting for new catalysts. There is capital holding support at the bottom, but the pressure above is also real. For me, the most important thing right now is to control my position size. Don't let a slight rebound make you leverage too much.

Scale of liquidations
· 1 hour: $3,110.23
· 4 hours: $24,200
· 12 hours: $103,400
· 24 hours: $142,100
Mostly and bearish distribution
Cycle: Bull liquidation, short liquidation, long position

12h $86,300 $17,000 83.5%
24h $118,500 $23,600 83.4%
Duokong interpretation
One-hour short liquidations dominate (97.3%), but the scale is very small; From 4 hours onward, long positions are liquidated, suddenly crushing short positions (69.3%~83.5%), with a sharp reversal within 1-4 hours, turning into a sustained one-sided decline; The 12-hour and 24-hour bullish positions remained stable at 83%, with the bullish trend continuing into the later stages. Ultimate winner: Bears—The price shows a continuous one-sided downward trend, while the bulls have cleared out consecutive stop-losses.
Time distribution
· 1 hour accounts for 2.19% of 24 hours
· 4 hours accounts for 17.0% of 24 hours
· 12 hours accounts for 72.8% of 24 hours
Liquidations are concentrated in the 12-hour cycle (over 70%), indicating that the main downward wave has exploded within 12 hours; The 24-hour total is 1.37 times that of the 12-hour period, with an increase in the last 12 hours but a weaker intensity. Currently, the market is at the end of a bear-led sustained decline, with the bullish forces basically cleared out. In the short term, we need to wait for signals of shrinking volume.
A one-sentence explanation
$LAB 24-hour long liquidations at $118,500, accounting for 83.4% of the total; 12-hour concentrated breakout mainly triggered a downward wave, with bears winning decisively.
🔥 Market Barometer | July 24th
Today's three hot topics point to the same theme: the cost of AI, regulatory stalls, and the breathing on the edge of the geopolitical cliff.
📊 Google and Tesla: The "bill" for the AI feast has arrived
Two financial reports have revealed the harsh truth behind AI narratives.
Google beats expectations but comes at a heavy cost: total revenue of $119.8 billion, up 24% year-on-year; Google Cloud revenue was $24.77 billion, an 82% year-on-year increase. However, capital expenditures reached $44.9 billion, and free cash flow turned negative for the first time to -$5.9 billion. After hours, it once fell nearly 5%.
Tesla's revenue growth without profit growth: revenue of $28.24 billion, up 26% year-on-year; However, operating profit was only $398 million, a year-on-year plunge of 57%, with an operating margin of just 1.4%. Free cash flow turned negative for the first time in over two years. It fell more than 4% in after-hours trading.
Signal: Google's AI has formed a closed revenue loop in its cloud business; Meanwhile, Tesla's Robotaxi and Optimus remain at the "story" stage. The market is punishing AI narratives that are concept-heavy but lack cash flow.
📜 CLARITY Act Stalled: A $1.4 Billion Ethical Dilemma
Regulatory hopes for the crypto industry are fading. Although Senate Republicans released updated text and added a morality clause, seven Democratic senators collectively vetoed it. Senate Majority Leader Toon Toon made it clear that the bill is unlikely to pass before the August 7 recess.
Fundamental obstacle: The roughly $1.4 billion gains Trump gained from crypto business became the biggest obstacle. The Democrats are demanding stricter ethical clauses to prevent the president from continuing to profit from the crypto industry under government oversight.
Polymarket forecasts show that the probability of passing within the year has plummeted from over 80% to 37%. Missing the August window and dragging into the autumn elections will greatly reduce the chances of passing in 2026.
🚢 U.S. military pauses airstrikes: a breather on the edge of a geopolitical cliff
On July 25 local time, Trump ordered the U.S. military not to launch new airstrikes on Iran that day, ending a 13-day continuous daily strike campaign.
A few hours before the airstrike pause, the Omani delegation had already arrived in Tehran to begin negotiations to resume navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, reportedly making progress. Brent crude had previously surpassed $100 per barrel, and if negotiations break through, oil prices are expected to retreat.
Signal: This is a tactical pause—to leave room for diplomacy, but the U.S. military is still preparing contingency plans for resuming strikes.
💎 Summary
Three events outline the core contradictions in the current market: The bill for AI is approaching—Google and Tesla are telling the market that, for the first time ever, negative cash flow is heating up faster than expected; The regulatory window is closing—the $1.4 billion ethical dilemma makes it hard for the CLARITY Act to pass within the year; How long the pause in the geography lasts depends on the success or failure of Oman's mediation. #财报观察员: Who can truly understand the real answer sheet from Google and Tesla this time?
#多数党领袖称CLARITY休会前难通过
#美军暂停对伊空袭, negotiations on the opening of the strait made progress Quant has become a systemic variable in China's socio-economic system. In the first quarter of 2026, quant accounted for over 35% of the average daily turnover in A-shares, with daily trading volumes often reaching hundreds of billions to over a trillion yuan. Quant is now the core force directly involved in price discovery, liquidity, and volatility structures. Any state apparatus, once it realizes that a significant portion of market pricing power is in the hands of algorithms and computing power, will instinctively tighten for control.
Fang Xinghai's investigation is just one of the triggers; he represents the previous open-minded approach of liberalizing quantitative trading, introducing short selling, and market-oriented tools. As soon as he fell, the space that had been tacitly allowed instantly narrowed. The essence of regulation is to re-imprison quantitative metrics in a controllable cage.
JPMorgan's move is focused on options-style hedging. Earlier this year, they formed a dedicated China quantitative trading and research team, aiming to accelerate electronic trading and compete with non-bank giants like Citadel and Jane Street. Now, people are concentrated in Singapore, retaining access capabilities, but core models and talent are placed where rules are clear, political friction is low, and data and infrastructure are more user-friendly. Singapore has already become their clear Asia-Pacific Center of Quantitative Excellence. Stripping unpredictable policy risks off the balance sheet. Truly high-end institutional decisions have never been about risk-adjusted expected returns—whether it's still worth placing core assets here
China is actively abandoning path dependence on efficient markets. Mature markets accept quant as an efficiency engine, but the cost is that retail investors are systematically at a disadvantage in information and speed. China has repeatedly chosen another path: using administrative means to suppress unfair advantages, in exchange for stable retail sentiment and controllable narrative.
As a result, A-shares have long remained in a retail-dominated model characterized by "high turnover, high volatility, and low pricing efficiency." With such a high proportion of quantitative assets, continuing to wear the tightening spell is essentially telling global capital that the market structure here prioritizes political and social goals, rather than capital allocation efficiency.
Talent outflow, model relocation, and the shift of core R&D focus southward are natural outcomes of this choice. Singapore and Hong Kong are riding the wave of this spillover effect
#财报观察员: Who can truly understand the real answer sheet from Google and Tesla this time? Looking at the overall pace of U.S. stocks throughout 2026, no week's information density, market weight, or pricing influence can rival the just-started final trading week of July. This is truly the most prestigious Super Week of the year. Four major macro data points—the Federal Reserve's July interest rate decision, the preliminary US Q2 GDP, core PCE inflation, and the Employment Cost Index—were all released together, combined with the four trillion-dollar AI tech giants Microsoft, Meta, Apple, and Amazon releasing their earnings intensively. Macro policies, inflation fundamentals, economic growth, and AI industry profitability logic will all complete centralized pricing within a week. The more than half year of AI market debate, expectations of high interest rates to persist, and the valuation battles among U.S. growth stocks have all reached their final showdowns. 1. Market Review This Week: AI Valuation Logic Completely Changed, Market Enters a New Pricing Phase The recently concluded trading week saw a slight index pullback in U.S. stocks and deep divergence among tech stocks. For the week, the S&P 500 fell 0.6% for the week, the Dow Jones Industrial Average edged down 0.4%, and the Nasdaq dropped sharply by 2.1%, with growth stocks showing clear signs of pressure. The core trigger for this round of adjustment is no longer simply disappointing performance, but a fundamental shift in market pricing logic. Previously, the market blindly embraced the AI track, where as long as companies increased their investment in AI computing power and laid out AI infrastructure, they could gain a valuation premium. However, after the latest financial reports from Google and Tesla dropped sharply, the entire market completely reversed its thinking: high growth in AI has become a market consensus, and the only real concern for capital right now is sky-high pricesThe banking industry is the core force in lobbying against the CLARITY Act. On the surface, it claims to protect consumers, but at its core, it's about users transferring their deposits out of banks for higher returns. The bank's profit model is to absorb low-interest or even interest-free deposits to lend and profit. In the past, users had no better financial options and only wanted to keep their funds within the system. Once the crypto sector offers higher returns, this profit foundation will be shaken, and the advantage banks rely on policy barriers to hold will be broken.
Bill progress stalled: Some Republican lawmakers believe the text needs further revisions before supporting it, while Democratic lawmakers who originally favored crypto opposed it because it does not restrict the Trump family's crypto-related revenues. The demands of both sides are completely at odds, resulting in regulatory rules remaining blank for a long time.
Without clear regulation, emerging crypto companies find it difficult to enter compliantly, and there is a lack of reasonable sources for public funds. What the banking industry truly protects is not the interests of depositors, but the current vacuum in this regulatory vacuum. Their fear that the crypto industry will break the existing pattern precisely shows that the traditional financial system has long used barriers to trap ordinary savers' wealth choices. #参议院CLARITY法案下周或表决: Favorable Moments or Shortcoming? While slacking off in the afternoon, I found SHIB's performance today quite impressive, rising 9.49% in one day. The latest price is $0.000005210. If you count from around 0.00000423, this rebound is already close to 20%.
However, I didn't chase it immediately. Instead, I checked the on-chain data and felt there were several noteworthy changes behind this rally.
First, the number of tokens on exchanges continues to decrease.
In the past 24 hours, over 11.3 billion SHIB flowed out of exchanges, with an overall net flow of about -145 billion SHIB, indicating a clear net outflow on-chain. Meanwhile, exchange reserves have dropped to 86.1 trillion, getting closer and closer to the psychological threshold often mentioned by the market.
My understanding is that the reduction in tradable and sellable tokens on exchanges will indeed provide some short-term support for supply, but tightening supply is only one factor affecting prices; it also depends on whether capital inflows continue to be made.
Another change is that the destruction speed is also being increased.
In the past 24 hours, the SHIB burn rate surged by 350%; In the past 7 days, a total of 44.23 million SHIB tokens were burned, a 32.63% increase compared to the previous week. These figures indicate that the community is still advancing the burn mechanism, which will help market sentiment.
There are also new catalysts on the news side.
With ongoing legislative advances related to Japanese crypto ETFs, SHIB has been included in Japan's JVCEA green list, which to some extent enhances its compliance market narrative. This is a positive signal for funds long-focused on the Japanese market.
However, I think we shouldn't just look at the positive news now.
From a technical perspective, SHIB is still trading below the 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day EMAs, indicating that the medium- to long-term trend has not truly reversed. Additionally, on-chain data shows that about 707 wallets control 94% of the supply, with whale holdings remaining highly concentrated.
Another point that's easy to overlook: although the amount of burned has increased significantly recently, compared to the circulating supply of about 589 trillion coins, the scale of this burn is still relatively limited. In the short term, it tends to improve market sentiment rather than completely change supply-demand relationships.
Next, I will focus on resistance in the 0.00000520–0.00000530 USD range.
If trading volume can effectively amplify and break through, the upper side can continue to watch the 0.000000550—0.00000600 USD area; If the rally is blocked, attention should still be paid to whether the 0.00000418–0.00000420 USD range can form the first support.
Overall, I prefer to see this rally as a technical recovery driven by tighter supply, increased burning, and sector synergy. Before a true trend reversal is achieved, I think more trading volume and sustained capital inflows are needed to confirm, so I won't change my trading rhythm just because of a single day's rise.
The above is just my personal observation based on market data and public data, and does not constitute any investment advice. When trading, you should manage your positions according to your own risk tolerance.

By around 1885,
Up about 1.5%.
SOL 74. 95
also about 1.4%.
So this is not a "full sell-off day"
It is the day of structural differentiation
Keep up with the narrative of easing and funding
First, look up
Can't keep up
Continuing to fall gloomily adds to the frustration
On Friday, the ETF still recorded a net outflow of about $225 million
The ledger is rather cold
But the spot will be warmer on weekends
This kind of misalignment is the easiest to deceive
You might think the reversal is confirmed
Actually, it's just a short squeeze out a bit
The bulls also didn't dare to fully leverage their position
The funding rate is almost zero
It was more like no one wanted to stay overnight and gamble on the direction
Names on the decline list
Most of the time, it's the ebb of narrative and the drain of fluidity
It's not that big shots are being smashed through
My best friend's line, 'Losing a whole house,'
This kind of structure feels especially authentic
When making money, I feel like I understand rotation
Only when you lose money do you realize it
What I bought myself is elastic
Not a Beta
So my judgment is
Today, don't use 'declining trend sentiment' to define the entire market
First, distinguish whether it's an index issue or a currency issue
The index is still hovering around 64,000
Individual currency killing is about crowded transactions
I only consider swapping weak ones for cleaner spot stock
Don't use high leverage to bet on V-reversals in a differentiated market
Next, let's take a quick look at the latest hot topics and chat casually:
#韩国存储双雄获AI双巨头大单
News of the storage duo securing major AI orders is still circulating, with risk appetite heating up in equity narratives first, then slowly seeping into crypto risk assets. The small rise in Bitcoin is more like sentiment spillover, not chip orders directly converting into buying. I will treat this as background note on risk appetite, not using a coin to map every supply chain news.
#黄仁勋首推开源AI公开信, it has received endorsement from industry collectives
The open source proposal sounds passionate, and the AI narrative has already been priced up several times on the market. In the short term, the more sensitive issue is whether computing power capital expenditures can be realized. On the crypto side, AI tag coins are highly flexible and have thin logic, making them suitable as emotional thermometers, but not as main holdings. I'd rather see if there is real demand for hash rate and stablecoin payments, rather than chasing after another wave of slogans.
#RWA永续月交易量4700亿美元
A monthly transaction volume of 470 billion sounds alarming, indicating that tokenized asset trading layers are actually being used—not just roadshow PPTs. A surge in volume doesn't mean your wallet's miscellaneous coins will rise accordingly; structured products rely on rates and basis differences. I will use RWA as my main mid-term tracker, while in the short term, I will prioritize the Bitcoin position and leveraged crowding.
$BTC $ETH #跌幅解读 #结构分化My dad asked me what DeFi is, and I said, don't worry about it, I'll help you buy it
My dad came to ask again tonight
I just looked at the board and could only give a dry laugh
Traditional markets are closed on Sundays
But Da Bing was bouncing around on his own
I quickly glanced at the message
The easing winds from the US and Iran have risen again
The previous two crude oils clearly fell back
Negotiations for the opening of the strait have also made progress
Then guess what
BTC 64513
In 24 hours, it rose by 0.71%.
The missile narrative is a bit looser
Oil prices fell first
The currency is first green
US stocks will have to wait until Monday to open and verify their results
This collaboration is a bit twisted
In the past, whenever I heard about tensions in the Middle East,
Everyone was just waiting to smash the price and put on a show
Now, pricing is more like the Xiansong product channel
Risk assets will find a way out over the weekend
On Friday, the ETF still saw a net outflow of about $225 million
The cumulative net inflow was about 81.2 billion yuan
Institutional ledgers are not so romantic
But the spot just doesn't go along with the panic script
The open interest in BTC contracts on OKX is about 31,700 units
This amounts to around 2 billion US dollars
The funding rate is close to zero
The weekend volume is also not exaggerated
It looks more like a sideways trading loss
It's not a trend ignite
So my judgment is
Before Monday's open, don't formulate 'oil drop = US stocks must rally = crypto must surge.'
Easing only reduces tail risk premiums
Whether it's real or not depends on whether US stock futures and crude oil are confirmed together
I'd rather see the reaction with the in-stock stock
Don't use weekend sentiment to leverage it
Looking through today's plate, there are a few interesting points:
#财报观察员: Who can truly understand the real answer sheet from Google and Tesla this time?
Earnings season is still reflecting on the two reports from Google and TeslaThe stock price has dropped from $200 to $110, completely shattering the logic of "scarcity." The first batch of 20% employee stock ownership unlocked at the end of July is just the beginning. By August 6, about 910 million shares are expected to be tradable, while the previously tradable shares accounted for only about 4% of total share capital—the supply is about to double or even more.
For a large number of employees with very low exercise costs, the unrealized profit on paper is still substantial even at $110. Mortgages, education, asset allocation—monetization is a rigid demand. Not to mention, short positions now account for about 30% of the circulating shares, so short selling funds are positioning in advance, waiting to receive these "blood-soaked chips."
But risk often breeds opportunity. If the stock price accelerates its decline after the early August earnings report, or if a sharp drop leads to a clear volume reduction and bottoming pattern, it is highly likely that panic trading and unlocking selling pressure are being concentrated and released. At that time, low-price chips may appear. I will wait for that moment. ⚠️During the 2024-2025 rally, the main rally for altcoins generally didn't last more than three months, followed by a general pullback of over 80%. During this short window, only a few people took profits in time, while most were trapped. Essentially, they treated the hype story as a long-term value belief.
The lifespan of counterfeit markets is extremely short, caused by multiple factors combined:
First, altcoin buying funds are limited to the existing market within the circle, with no external incremental funds entering the market; Second, it represents the end of market rotation, with most funds already diverted to mainstream coins; Combined with project token unlocks and project team dumping, selling pressure is continuous; This round of ETFs also diverted mainstream coin funds, and the 'dog' sector has taken up liquidity from the market stock.
Looking ahead, I am more optimistic about the DeFi sector, whose market cycle will also last about three months. #交易之声: Your experience deserves to be heard 🚀 RWA perpetual monthly trading volume reached 470 billion, soaring 450% in half a year!
This is not the frenzy at the end of a bull market, but a signal of a new track starting.
Tokenized stocks, commodities, and even SpaceX are being "perpetually" traded on-chain.
In June, just three major platforms including OKX accounted for over 80% of the share, with SpaceX alone reaching 66 billion in a single month.
🧠 My three observations:
❶ It's not speculative shell swapping, but capital searching for "on-chain Alpha"
The low volatility of traditional assets combined with the high leverage of perpetual contracts naturally suits market makers and event-driven traders. 66 billion is not a volume retail investors can generate; institutions are testing the waters.
❷ Tokenized stocks surged 7 times, who’s next?
I believe it’s government bond yield rights—on-chain interest-bearing assets + RWA compliance represent a trillion-level blue ocean. Pre-IPO liquidity is poor, foreign exchange regulatory barriers are high, so government bonds are most likely to explode first.
❸ Haven't traded yet? What are you waiting for?
Waiting for liquidity? Waiting for regulation? Waiting for a friendlier UI?
— These are all rapidly improving, and early adopters are already capturing the premium.
#RWA永续月交易量4700亿美元 High prosperity and high volatility in storage stocks: Which is more worth watching, Micron, SanDisk, or SK Hynix?
The expansion of AI computing power is reshaping the competitive landscape of the storage industry. In the past, investors viewed memory and flash as highly cyclical basic components; price increases often meant supply-demand imbalances, while price declines meant inventory buildup. With the advent of the AI era, HBM, high-capacity server DRAM, and enterprise-grade SSDs have begun to become core devices in data centers, giving storage manufacturers new growth opportunities.
However, the recent performance of storage stocks reminds investors that a positive industry fundamental does not necessarily mean stock prices can continue to rise. On July 24, Micron fell about 7% in a single day, SanDisk dropped about 11%, and SK Hynix's Korean domestic stock dropped about 8%. Previously, all three companies experienced significant gains, but the recent pullback feels more like profit-taking and valuation revaluation rather than a sudden disappearance of demand.
AI continues to expand storage demand
AI servers require large amounts of HBM to improve GPU data transfer efficiency, and DRAM is also needed to store running data. As model scale increases, data centers will need to deploy more SSDs to store training data, model files, caches, and inference results.
Market research firm Gartner predicts that DRAM prices could rise by 125% in 2026, NAND Flash prices by 234%, and storage price pressures may continue beyond 2027. Gartner Industry Forecast
TrendForce also holds a bullish outlook for Q2 2026, expecting traditional DRAM contract prices to rise 58% to 63% quarter-over-quarter, and NAND Flash prices to increase 70% to 75%. Storage manufacturers are shifting more capacity toward HBM, server memory, and enterprise-grade SSDs, causing supply contractions for storage products used in regular PCs and mobile phones. TrendForce price prediction for $MU $SKHYNIX $SNDK
This set of data shows the industry is still in a strong cycle, but it also raises a question: how long can high prices last?
Micron: The most complete product and the highest expectations
Micron also operates DRAM, HBM, NAND, and enterprise-grade SSDs. It can benefit from the memory demands of AI servers and also from expanding storage capacity in data centers.
Micron's revenue for the third quarter of fiscal year 2026 reached $41.46 billion, setting a new company record. The company also provided a stronger outlook for the fourth quarter, stating that HBM4 has entered a phase of high-volume shipments, HBM4E is under development, and mass production is expected in 2027. Micron's financial report for the third quarter of fiscal year 2026
Another advantage of Micron comes from its domestic manufacturing footprint in the United States. The company plans to expand its U.S. DRAM capacity, which will not only help reduce supply chain risks but may also secure policy support and long-term orders from large customers.
However, Micron's stock price has fully reflected the industry's recovery and growing AI demand. In the future, the market will not only look at revenue growth, but also on whether profit margins can be maintained, whether capital expenditures spiral out of control, and when new capacity will come online. If the company's performance only meets expectations, the stock price may still come under pressure.
SanDisk: Betting on NAND and Enterprise SSDs
SanDisk's business focus is on NAND Flash and SSDs. Compared to Micron and SK Hynix, SanDisk has less direct involvement in HBM, but is more sensitive to NAND prices and enterprise SSD demand.
SanDisk's revenue for the third quarter of fiscal year 2026 reached $5.95 billion, a 97% quarter-over-quarter increase, with data center business up 233%. The company expects fourth-quarter revenue of $7.75 billion to $8.25 billion. SanDisk's financial report for the third quarter of fiscal year 2026
AI data centers need more than just GPUs and HBMs. The datasets generated by model training need to be stored long-term, inference services need to frequently read model files, and caching systems require larger SSD capacity. As long as data centers continue to expand, enterprise SSDs have strong growth potential.
SanDisk's characteristic is its high earnings flexibility. When NAND prices rise, company profits may grow rapidly; However, when supply and demand shift, profits may also decline rapidly. It is more like a highly volatile storage price target, suitable for investors who are optimistic about the NAND cycle and can also tolerate larger drawdowns.
SK Hynix: HBM is the most competitive feature
SK Hynix's strongest business at present remains HBM. In the first quarter of 2026, the company's revenue reached 52.58 trillion KRW, operating profit reached 37.61 trillion KRW, and an operating margin of 72%, setting a new record. SK Hynix's Q1 2026 financial report
SK Hynix has advantages in HBM products, customer relationships, and mass production experience. As AI applications expand from model training to real-time inference, the company's growth has also begun to extend from HBM to server DRAM, eSSD, and other high-capacity storage products.
But competition from HBM is intensifying. Micron and Samsung are both increasing capacity and yield, and customers may also reduce procurement risks by bringing in more suppliers. SK Hynix's current high profit margins are built on technological leadership and tight supply. If competitors close the gap or HBM prices begin to fall, the company's valuation could face double pressure.My mom's colleague spent all her pension money on Bitcoin, and now she treats us to meals every day
She kept saying this during the family dinner last weekend
"Young people need to be bold."
But what I want to say is that in this position, many people's courage has already been worn down
Funding rates show that BTC and ETH remain in bearish territory
What does that mean?
That is, the long seller pays the short seller
This shows that most people in the market are still bearish
But strangely, BTC not only didn't fall this week but actually rose by 0. 6%
Then guess what
This kind of "bearish but not falling" market is actually the most challenging for people
If your analysis tells you you should go long
But market sentiment has consistently been bearish
Which one would you believe?
From my own experience,
Follow the data, not emotions
5 buy signals versus 0 sell signals
This data is not a lie
Although ETFs are seeing 225M outflows
But BTC prices did not fall
This indicates that OTC and spot buying orders are taking over
This is a signal that institutions are quietly accumulating funds
There's also a point of psychological struggle
The BitMart incident escalated over the weekend
The CEO said he was also notified to suspend operations
The MSX founder wants to acquire it again
This chaos actually shows that some people are picking up bargains at low prices
Those who dare to take the market during panic are often the big winners
So my judgment is
Don't let your emotions lead this position away emotionally
If funding rates are bearish≠ prices will fall
Sometimes, when everyone is bearish, that's actually the best window to build a position
Wait until everyone is bullishTrump halted the airstrikes, oil prices plummeted, and $BTC actually rose
Thirteen consecutive days of airstrikes stopped just like that.
On the 24th, Trump directly ordered that no new strikes against Iran would be launched that day. Following the news, WTI crude oil plunged nearly 4% in grey market trading, while Brent dropped more than 3%. BTC, on the other hand, has risen from around 63,800 to around 64,460.
The logic makes sense—oil prices fall→ inflation expectations cool, → risk assets catch their breath.
But don't get too happy too soon. Trump's exact words: "If we cannot get 100% of what we want from Iran, we will absolutely consider resuming a full-scale war." "And the Strait of Hormuz has not yet reopened.
In the short term, you can gamble for a rebound, but set stop-losses. Don't mistake tactical pauses for strategic peace.
Let's talk in the comments—do you think this rebound can last? Or is it just the calm before the storm? Tech giants collectively pull back: Why did these stocks all fall today?
Looking at the market today, a glaring red color was a stark display—Micron Technology (MU) plunged over 7%, Intel (INTC) plunged 12%, SanDisk (SNDK) fell nearly 11%, Tesla (TSLA) also fell 2.2%, and even Nvidia (NVDA) couldn't stay unscathed, slipping nearly 1%. Both the semiconductor and new energy vehicle sectors have cooled off. In my view, this adjustment is an inevitable profit-taking + sector rotation. Since the beginning of this year, AI concept stocks have surged dramatically, with chip giants like Nvidia already exhausting some of their optimistic expectations. Recently, the market has begun to worry that AI capital expenditure growth may slow down, with Micron and Intel, as representatives of memory and traditional chips, naturally bearing the brunt. Intel's biggest drop may reflect not only industry pressure but also ongoing market doubts about its competitiveness and transformation progress. Tesla, on the other hand, was dragged down by overall weakness in its new energy vehicle sector, with delivery data and Robotaxi narratives temporarily struggling to boost confidence. Looking deeper, this is the normal breath of a high-valuation sector. Tech stocks have risen so fiercely that capital needs a breather, and shifting to other undervalued sectors is also reasonable. On the macro front, interest rate expectations, inflation data, or geopolitical factors may also exacerbate the decline in short-term risk appetite. Personal view: Short-term pullbacks shouldn't be overly pessimistic, especially for NVIDIA, whose fundamentals remain strong and long-term AI demand remains. What truly needs to be watched out are Intel and some follower stocks; if there is no substantial improvement, the correction could be even deeper. But for high-quality stocks, this is often a "shakeout" rather than a "trend reversal."Changxin hasn't officially opened yet, but long and short positions on X are already fighting. Some are preparing to go all-in on 300,000 yuan in flash loans, while public addresses have held over 13 million USD in short positions; In the Chinese-speaking region, discussions about how much profit can be made from winning the lottery, while in the English-speaking region, the pre-market contract for Hyperliquid has already priced Changxin's valuation close to 3 trillion yuan. I compiled 31 tweets in both Chinese and English, checking issuance data, financial performance, industry news, pre-market prices, and market rumors one by one. I'm not going to guess a simple answer to a rise or fall first. What really needs to be answered is: How much is Changxin really worth? How was the 3 trillion yuan expectation formed? Which high-traffic news can be trusted? After the market opens, which data should we keep an eye on? 1. 31 tweets, but the most discussed topic isn't Changxin's technology. These 31 tweets are not a market-wide poll. I filter content with high pre-IPO views or those that represent a certain type of viewpoint. Among them, 20 tweets were in Chinese, and 11 were in English or other languages; 22 views exceeded 50,000, 14 views exceeded 100,000, and 9 exceeded 200,000. Categorizing them, the results are straightforward: - 10 discusses trading plans and retail sentiment; - 9 discusses valuation and pre-market prices; - 7 discussing companies and industries; - 5 are rumors or commercial promotions. Nearly two-thirds of the content discusses price, position, and "how much can be made?" What the company truly achieves is not the traffic center.

Iran reiterated the necessity of resuming negotiations during the stalemate phase and stated its refusal to open new shipping lanes in the Strait of Hormuz. In addition, Iran has confirmed to Pakistan its willingness to continue negotiations (with the United States) in Geneva, Doha, Qatar, or Islamabad; And requested the restoration of...

The numbers on the screen hovered between 64,590.5 and 63,806.4, as if gripped by the city's sticky summer night, moving up and down by less than a percentage. The 24-hour trading volume is about 168 million USDT, which is neither too large nor too small—just enough for the candlestick to draw a few lazy shadows. No one cried out, nor did anyone panic. Amid this nearly frozen market, a statistic was quietly broken: ten listed companies collectively hold over one million bitcoins.
A whole number threshold arrived silently. Strategy still holds the top spot—843,775 tokens, equivalent to about $58 billion at current prices. This figure itself carries a distant echo, reminiscent of the market turmoil when MicroStrategy first bought Bitcoin in the summer of 2020. In the years that followed, from El Salvador to pension funds, from spot ETF approvals to now SpaceX quietly holding over 18,000 shares and listing on Nasdaq just over a month ago. Bitcoin's institutionalized narrative is so thick that it's almost impossible to remember it was once just a white paper attachment in a cypherpunk mailbox.
But on the other side of the screen, the stock price curve tells a completely different story. Since 2026, Riot Platforms has risen 73%, Cleanspark 39%, and Mara Holdings 31%; Strategy, on the other hand, fell 40%, Metaplanet fell 49%, Twenty One Capital fell 48%, and Coinbase Global fell 31%. The largest positions saw the stock price drop the heaviest; The mining companies' rally also seems to be a response to a repricing of infrastructure value. The logic in between is unclear and should not be simplified to a single cause and effect. Maybe it's just leverage structure, cash flow pressure, market sentiment rotation, or just a long and ordinary revaluation in the summer.
Fragmented news from the outskirts flowed in. Bitcoin ETF weekly trading volume has fallen to its lowest level since October 2024, while Ethereum ETFs have just ended a five-day streak of inflows, but weekly net inflows are still extending—capital seems more willing to chase the latecomer momentum. On the other side, some addresses went long with 38.55 million USDT held for eighteen hours, but eventually closed their positions at the 1% stop-loss line, losing $368,000—clean and decisive, like a nap without a dream. There's no tragic sadness of heavy positions or the drama of shorting in reverse—it's just a string of numbers that automatically disappears after being touched at a certain threshold.
The entire market seems to have entered a subtle period of silence. Bitcoin's DeFi value locked edged up 0.72% near $4.394 billion, like the water level slowly rising after a rainy season, but showing no signs of surging. And that "one million coins" integer is itself just a statistical trick under some surface—no one really knows exactly how much Bitcoin these companies hold is long-term chips in cold wallets, how much is the underlying asset of derivatives, and how many could be reduced at any time due to financial report pressure.
The last such dull summer was in 2023, and the last was in 2019. In every cycle, summer always feels especially long. The list of holders changes, the cost of holding positions changes, and the relative strength of stock prices also changes. The only things that are less likely to change are Bitcoins themselves, which quietly lie on the chain, confirm every ten minutes, and occasionally trigger a temporary alarm in blockchain explorers due to a large transfer. They don't speak, nor do they care whether they are in the vault of a listed company or the wallet of an anonymous whale.
When the summer heat finally fades and autumn's volatility returns to the market, this holding list will likely feature new names and new numbers. Any structure that seems unshakable in the present is only temporary in the face of time. For those staring at the screen, the only thing to remember: the story isn't over yet, your position isn't settled, and history never guarantees.Trump's $1.4 billion crypto income is killing the CLARITY Act
The bill can't pass, and the culprit is Trump himself
The CLARITY Act most likely won't make it before the August recess.
It's not a technical issue, nor a vote count issue; it's Trump's own $1.4 billion crypto income stuck in the way.
Bloomberg reported today: Trump earned about $1.4 billion from meme coins and token businesses, which has now become the biggest obstacle to passing the bill. The Democrats are demanding stricter ethics rules—the president can't issue tokens while legislating under his own government's regulation.
The Republicans only have 53 seats in the Senate, so to reach 60 votes, they need to bring at least 7 Democrats on board. But the Democrats are holding onto Trump's crypto income, causing a deadlock.
On Polymarket, the probability of passage has dropped from 74% in May to about 33%. The market is voting with money.
The irony is that the TRUMP coin issued by Trump himself has now become the stumbling block preventing him from pushing the crypto bill forward. The coin you issued is blocking your own bill.
This drama is still unfolding. But one thing is certain: the bill most likely won't pass before the August recess.
Discuss in the comments: do you think Trump will sell his coins for the bill, or would he rather keep them even if the bill fails? $BTC $ETH July 26 | BTC Data Evening Report
BTC market
BTC is quoted near $64,450, with an intraday high of about $64,566 and a low of about $64,028, up about 0.8% in 24 hours. The price continues to fluctuate around $64,000–$65,000, yet to break out of the recent consolidation range.
ETF funds
On July 24, the US spot BTC ETF saw a total net outflow of about $240.1 million, marking the second consecutive trading day of net outflows; From July 23 to 24, the cumulative net outflow was approximately $465.2 million.
The previous seven consecutive trading days of capital inflows have been interrupted, and institutional funds have shifted from continuous inflows to continuous withdrawals in the short term.
On-chain Tokens (Address Calibration)
Based on the consecutive snapshots from July 25 to 26:
Less than 10 BTC: net decrease of about 65 BTC, latest total holdings about 3.4722 million BTC
10–100 BTC: Net increase of about 182 BTC, latest total holdings about 4.2324 million BTC
Above 100 BTC: net increase of about 108 BTC, latest total holdings about 12.3542 million BTC
Internal changes above 100 BTC:
100–1,000 BTC: Net decrease of about 1,904 BTC
1,000–10,000 BTC: net increase of about 1,878 BTC
10,000–100,000 BTC: Net increase of about 134 BTC
Over 100,000 BTC: Basically unchanged
Total holdings above 100 BTC increased by only 108 BTC, but internal migration was obvious, mainly reflected in a decrease in the 100–1,000 BTC range, while the above 1,000 BTC level increased.
BTC exchange
The latest public snapshot shows that the total BTC balance across all exchanges is about 2.7032 million, with a net outflow of approximately 3,075 BTC.
Exchange balances remain in net outflows, diverging from ETFs for two consecutive days of net outflows: on-chain tradable tokens have decreased, but traditional funding channels have weakened in the short term.
Contract data
BTC contract open interest is about $48.53 billion, 24-hour contract turnover is about $19.696 billion, spot trading is about $1.124 billion, and BTC contract liquidation is about $6.366 million.
Open interest remains at a relatively high level, but weekend trading volume and liquidations are not large, so there is currently no obvious concentrated deleveraging in the market.
Important news today
Next week, the Federal Reserve, Bank of Japan, and Bank of England will successively announce interest rate decisions. Meanwhile, Middle East developments pushed oil prices up to around $100 per barrel, energy prices renewed inflation expectations, and the market began to bet more on further rate hikes. High oil prices and expectations of high interest rates remain the most important external pressures for BTC in the near term.
BitMart announced the end of nine years of operations, with all trading halted on August 26 and officially shutting down on January 31, 2027; This is the second trading platform to announce its exit within a week, following BitMEX. BitMart previously reported a 24-hour turnover of about $1.6 billion, with consecutive exchange closures that may continue to affect market trust and capital concentration trends among small and medium-sized platforms.
Russia's largest bank, Sberbank, plans to establish crypto trading and custody infrastructure by December. Russia's new crypto trading, custody, and settlement rules will take effect in September, indicating that large traditional banks continue to enter the regulated crypto asset services sector, but the short-term direct impact on BTC liquidity is limited.
Next, let's focus on the main focus
Can BTC regain the $65,000 level and break through the recent resistance near $66,000?
Can ETFs resume net inflows after Monday's opening, or will continuous outflows expand further?
Will BTC exchanges continue to see net outflows, and whether addresses with 100–1,000 BTC will stop decreasing?
If oil prices remain near $100 and push U.S. Treasury yields higher, macro pressure on BTC is unlikely to ease significantly.
$BTC #星球日报 Bitcoin liquidity concentration: The altcoin season has not yet arrived; funds are circulating among a few coins
Has the current market formed a sustainable bullish structure, or is it driven solely by local leverage?
Core Fact: The original post clearly stated that the current market is not in an upward trend across the market, but rather liquidity circulating among limited coins. Funds are concentrated in a few tokens such as BTC, JELLYJELLY, OPG, SLX, LAB, BSB, ALLO, and CHIP, while a large number of altcoins like BEAT, EDGE, COAI, TRUMP, and RAVE are losing momentum. ETH, SOL, TAO, WLD, HYPE, DOGE, and ZEC are regarded as structural pillars, corresponding respectively to institutional capital, high beta risk appetite, AI narrative, risk appetite indicators, and retail investor rally pursuit.
Market structure changes: The core contradiction in current pricing is that BTC maintains liquidity anchoring at high levels, but the altcoins as a whole have not formed a synchronized rise. This has led to divergence in funding rates: BTC perpetual contract funding rates remain positive, but most altcoins have funding rates close to zero or even turned negative, indicating that leverage is more concentrated on BTC, with little sustained long position accumulation on the altcoin side. On the basis side, the BTC futures premium structure (Contango) still exists, but the margin has narrowed, suggesting the market is becoming more conservative in its outlook for forward gains.
Pricing transmission path: If BTC continues to consolidate sideways at the current level, it will be difficult for funds to spread outward to altcoins, because once liquidity is absorbed by BTC, altcoins will need to rely on lower valuations or stronger narratives to attract incremental capital. Conversely, if BTC experiences a significant pullback, it could trigger a bullish stamp, leading to concentrated leveraged liquidations and dragging down mainstream coins like ETH and SOL, resulting in a systemic correction. Among altcoins, highly liquid assets like JELLYJELLY and OPG may remain relatively strong during BTC consolidation, but stalled coins like BEAT and EDGE are likely to continue falling if they fail to receive new capital injections.
Biased bullish path and conditions: If the BTC funding rate remains positive and the basis widens again, it indicates that leveraged long positions continue to increase positions, and the market may be entering a localized trend continuation. At this point, it is important to observe whether JELLYJELLY, OPG, and others are experiencing sustained rallies after increased trading volume, and whether the stagnant coins are bottoming out with increased volume and stabilizing the decline. Bearish path and conditions: If BTC's funding rate quickly turns negative or the basis narrows below parity, it suggests that bull confidence is breaking down and may trigger chain liquidations. At the same time, be wary of the accelerated decline of stagnant coins, which could lead to a collapse in overall risk appetite on the counterfeit side.
Risk warning: The current market structure heavily relies on BTC liquidity anchorage. If BTC loses key support levels, it could trigger market-wide deleveraging. If stagnant coins continue to shrink in volume, it will be difficult to form an effective rebound.
$BTC $ETH $SOL $HYPE $DOGE #流动性集中 #杠杆结构 #山寨币分化📊 $LIT Quick Overview of Liquidations
Scale of liquidations
· 1 hour: $50.73
· 4 hours: $2,484.51
· 12 hours: $5,236.94
· 24 hours: $27,600
Mostly and bearish distribution
Cycle: Bull liquidation, short liquidation, long position
1h $0 $50.73 0%
4h $2,428.02 $56.50 97.7%
12h $5,022.43 $214.50 95.9%
24h $13,600 $14,000 49.3%
Duokong interpretation
Short liquidation in 1 hour was $50.73, long position was zero, very small scale; 4-hour and 12-hour long liquidations continue to crush short positions (accounting for 95.9%~97.7%), with prices continuing to fall; However, within 24 hours, short liquidations at $14,000 narrowly overtook the market (accounting for 50.7%), reversing the direction within 12-24 hours and turning into a short squeeze and upward trend. Ultimate winner: Bulls—showing a pattern of "early long selling→ closing short reversal."
Time distribution
· 1 hour accounts for 0.18% of 24 hours
· 4 hours accounts for 9.0% of 24 hours
· 12 hours accounts for 18.97% of 24 hours
The distribution of liquidations is obvious: the first 12 hours accounted for only 18.97%, while the 24-hour total volume is 5.27 times that of the 12-hour period, indicating that short squeezes surged fiercely between the 12-24 hours (about $22,400 in the last 12 hours, accounting for 81.0% of the whole day). Currently, the market is in the stage of a short squeeze outbreak, with concentrated liquidations on short positions and closing sessions, so attention should be paid to its sustainability.
A one-sentence explanation
$LIT 24-hour short liquidation $14,000, accounting for 50.7% of the total, reversed direction, and the bulls ultimately prevailed.
🔥 Market Barometer | July 24th
Today's three hot topics point to the same theme: the cost of AI, regulatory stalls, and the breathing on the edge of the geopolitical cliff.
📊 Google and Tesla: The "bill" for the AI feast has arrived
Two financial reports have revealed the harsh truth behind AI narratives.
Google beats expectations but comes at a heavy cost: total revenue of $119.8 billion, up 24% year-on-year; Google Cloud revenue was $24.77 billion, an 82% year-on-year increase. However, capital expenditures reached $44.9 billion, and free cash flow turned negative for the first time to -$5.9 billion. After hours, it once fell nearly 5%.
Tesla's revenue growth without profit growth: revenue of $28.24 billion, up 26% year-on-year; However, operating profit was only $398 million, a year-on-year plunge of 57%, with an operating margin of just 1.4%. Free cash flow turned negative for the first time in over two years. It fell more than 4% in after-hours trading.
Signal: Google's AI has formed a closed revenue loop in its cloud business; Meanwhile, Tesla's Robotaxi and Optimus remain at the "story" stage. The market is punishing AI narratives that are concept-heavy but lack cash flow.
📜 CLARITY Act Stalled: A $1.4 Billion Ethical Dilemma
Regulatory hopes for the crypto industry are fading. Although Senate Republicans released updated text and added a morality clause, seven Democratic senators collectively vetoed it. Senate Majority Leader Toon Toon made it clear that the bill is unlikely to pass before the August 7 recess.
Fundamental obstacle: The roughly $1.4 billion gains Trump gained from crypto business became the biggest obstacle. The Democrats are demanding stricter ethical clauses to prevent the president from continuing to profit from the crypto industry under government oversight.
Polymarket forecasts show that the probability of passing within the year has plummeted from over 80% to 37%. Missing the August window and dragging into the autumn elections will greatly reduce the chances of passing in 2026.
🚢 U.S. military pauses airstrikes: a breather on the edge of a geopolitical cliff
On July 25 local time, Trump ordered the U.S. military not to launch new airstrikes on Iran that day, ending a 13-day continuous daily strike campaign.
A few hours before the airstrike pause, the Omani delegation had already arrived in Tehran to begin negotiations to resume navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, reportedly making progress. Brent crude had previously surpassed $100 per barrel, and if negotiations break through, oil prices are expected to retreat.
Signal: This is a tactical pause—to leave room for diplomacy, but the U.S. military is still preparing contingency plans for resuming strikes.
💎 Summary
Three events outline the core contradictions in the current market: The bill for AI is approaching—Google and Tesla are telling the market that, for the first time ever, negative cash flow is heating up faster than expected; The regulatory window is closing—the $1.4 billion ethical dilemma makes it hard for the CLARITY Act to pass within the year; How long the pause in the geography lasts depends on the success or failure of Oman's mediation. #财报观察员: Who can truly understand the real answer sheet from Google and Tesla this time?

At the end of the day, logic remains.
🧭 Today's panorama
→ BTC $64,554 24h: +0.86% · ETH $1,888 24h: +1.71% · SOL $74.92
→ Today's Volatility: BTC 0.64K ($63,996-$64,637)
→ Trading volume: BTC $1.87B · Funding rate: BTC 0.001% / ETH 0.001%
📊 Structural changes
• OI: $2.035B (31,524 BTC), no significant increase or decrease throughout the day
• Funding rate: Both currencies have rates at <0.0011%, at an absolute low with no directional pressure
• BTC Premium: -0.055% (slight discount), bears slightly taking the initiative but showing no aggressive intent
🔥 Today's highlights
• #1 DCA (BSC) +9.11% — 24-hour gain over 4000%, but MCap only $184K, 42% of shares share the same source, showing obvious signs of manipulation
• #2 PONS (XLayer) +5.59% — MCap $54.6 million, one of the largest memes in the XLayer ecosystem, saw a slight rise today
• TRUMP2028 (Solana) +1.29% — 5,306 token-holding addresses, maintaining popularity but with modest gains
• BullPad (Solana) -27.47% — Previously surging memes experienced a deep pullback today, a typical "catch knife scene"
⚡ Smart money flows
• Smart money on Solana today mainly focused on SalaryCat (bought at $1,487), but has already sold 70%, showing a clear pattern of fast in and out of stock
• Justice For Sara Gilson (Sara) was chased by 10 smart money addresses, with 82% having sold out
• Overall, Smart Money was doing short-term harvesting in the Solana meme layer with a "grab a hand, then exit" strategy, with no intention to hold overnight
💡 Shadows recoil
BTC followed a standard contracting sideways movement today—$64K spent the day within 40 points. OI remains unchanged, rates are flat, and premiums are discounted but only slightly increased, indicating that both bulls and bears are controlling their positions. Guessing the direction at this position is no different from guessing a coin; the bulls haven't exerted momentum, and the bears haven't broken through.
Memes on the hot topic side are lively, but the DCA market with 42% of the same source is clearly a trap—whoever chases the most here is caught by a flying knife. Smart money showed no intention of staying overnight at the Solana meme level today; after the rally, it left. This sentiment transmitted to the main board signaled "no incremental funds entering the market."
Tonight, I chose to continue observing. If BTC can shrink above $64K and grind for another day, the structure would actually be healthier. No matter how sharp or down, I won't take it.

#暗影萨满🔥 From 46 to 142, then back to 79! $OKB This wave isn't a pullback; it's like rubbing the chives down and handing over a cigarette!
Guys, who wouldn't be confused by this $OKB script from July?
📉 At the beginning of the month (that needle in early July): still lying flat at 46 cuts, playing dead.
🔥 Then OKX set off a fire: burning 278.9 million $OKB, permanently welding the total at 21 million.
🚀 The price rocketed straight in: soaring to $142.88, a 193% massive syllable sold out all the bears.
💀 And then? : Fell back to around 79, and has been grinding for almost three weeks. With 24-hour trading volume shrinking to just over 50 million, retail investors are all asking, "Is this over?" ”
#OKX.ai: One person is a world-class company
---
🧬 Let me tell you, this trend is wild, and behind it are three hard logics clashing:
1. Supply side: OKX has fully transcribed Bitcoin's scarcity scenario
The total supply of 21 million was locked, and the smart contract completely blocked both the additional issuance and manual burning. X Layer's gas is still burning in small amounts. What does this mean? OKB won't be reborn; it will only become fewer. How many exchanges have you seen in history with fixed total supply tokens?
2. Demand Side: Bet on the entire ecosystem, fail or die
OKX cut OKT Chain and bet all on X Layer (Polygon CDK's zkEVM). OKB becomes the only fuel in the entire ecosystem + fee discounts + Jumpstart tickets. ICE (NYSE's real father) even came in to take a stand. This isn't just empty promises; it's just putting on a stage.
3. Market Volume: A typical shakeout after a surge, waiting for the big players to speak
The 50-day moving average at $79 is holding down, the 200-day moving average at $88 is holding down, and the RSI at 56 is lukewarm. This is the kind of being repeatedly rubbed in the middle, washing away those who are uncertain.
#OKX星球话题来啦
---
🗣️ My rough summary of the summary:
If you shout "reset to zero," wake up. An exchange token with a total supply of 21 million + full ecosystem gas is unprecedented in history.
If you're shouting "Breaking 200 soon," don't even dream about it. Before BTC doesn't cooperate and X Layer doesn't have daily active users, the grueling 79-82 range will have to stay for a while.
What stage is it now?
The Fear and Greed Index once dropped to 23 (extreme fear), retail investors are cutting losses, and large players are hesitating. A typical "no chase when prices rise, no buying when prices fall" — a twisted phase.
OKB is no longer a junk platform coin; it is a monster forcibly transformed by OKX into an "exchange-style BTC." In the short term, it will be dragged by the broader market; in the medium term, it depends on whether X Layer has real users; in the long term, it depends on whether the 21 million figure is enough to tell a story.
👇 Now the question arises:
Do you think OKB really dropped completely this round and is preparing for a second firing, or will they fake a fall and continue sawing wood at 78-82?
#交易之声: Your experience deserves to be heard
Chart analysis:
1. Long-term trend: Previously completed a deep bear market decline from a high of 104.63, with a maximum drawdown exceeding 30%.
2. Short-term structure: After bottoming out at 70, a recovery rebound began, and the current price has broken above all short-term moving averages, indicating a recovery in short-term bullish momentum
3. Resistance and support: First resistance above at 85, support below at 81-82 (MA5/MA10 moving averages)📊 JUST IN: Saylor Hints At More Bitcoin, But The Reality Is Sharper Now
"We're gonna need another color." Classic Saylor confidence, posted with a dashboard of Strategy's 843,775 BTC. But the numbers behind that swagger tell a harder story than the meme suggests.
📉 Where it stands:
Holdings: 843,775 BTC
Average cost: $75,653
Unrealized loss: about 14.8%, roughly $9.5 billion
Q2 digital asset loss: $8.32 billion, mostly unrealized
Here's what actually changed, and it matters. The "never sell" narrative is over. Strategy sold 3,588 BTC in early July for about $216 million, using the proceeds to fund preferred stock dividends and rebuild its dollar reserve. This followed a formal Bitcoin monetization program launched June 29 that lets the company sell up to $1.25 billion of BTC to cover obligations. A company built on the promise of relentless accumulation is now selling to pay its bills. That is a real shift, not a headline.
None of this means the long-term thesis is broken, and that's the honest takeaway. These losses are unrealized, the CFO says the reserve could cover net debt even if BTC fell 91%, and Strategy has still added coins across the cycle. The lesson worth borrowing is conviction and dollar-cost averaging over years, using capital you won't need tomorrow. The lesson to avoid is the leverage, the forced sales, and treating one confident tweet as a buy signal.
What to watch:
Whether Strategy keeps selling under the monetization program or resumes buying.
The health of its preferred stock and any pressure on MSTR shares, down 77% from the high.
A confident post from the biggest holder is not a catalyst. Respect the conviction, watch the balance sheet, because structure decides who survives a bear market.
Conviction that pays off, or a model meeting its limits?
