What just happened. A needle dropped #BTC延续强势，资金流能否持续？ $OKB $ETH

🔥 OKB suddenly surged, hitting a 24-hour high of $120! Just took a look at OKB, and it's really strong. Current price is $116.6, up over 10% in 24 hours, with a peak directly reaching $120. $OKB Even more impressive, the 24-hour trading volume has nearly reached $3.94 billion. This is no longer a slow rise; it's clearly accelerating with volume. But right now, I'm actually hesitant to chase. Because a move that jumps over $10 in an hour has strong profit potential but also risks very rapid pullbacks. From here, I’m only watching one level: Whether $120 can turn from a resistance level into a support level. If it holds above $120, I’ll remain bullish. If it rallies then falls back, be cautious of those chasing highs getting trapped.

BTC has been really strong this week. It surged from around $64,000 all the way up to nearly $79,000, with a weekly gain exceeding 22% at one point, potentially marking the strongest single-week performance since March 2023. And this time, it’s not just retail investors calling a bull market. On August 20, the US spot BTC ETF saw a single-day inflow of about $606 million, while a large number of shorts were forced to cover, further amplifying the rally. ETH has also started to catch up. On August 20, the US spot ETH ETF had a net inflow of about $221 million, hitting a single-day high not seen in nearly 10 months. Seeing this, many might start wondering: Is the bull market back? I’d rather pour some cold water on that. Because the biggest change now isn’t that BTC has risen. It’s that: Market sentiment has shifted from "no one dares to buy" to suddenly "fear of missing out." Between these two sentiments, there are often just a few candlesticks. So I won’t immediately call for the next stop at $100,000 just because BTC broke through $70,000 or even touched $79,000. What I want to see more is: After BTC pulls back to $70,000, will capital still be willing to step in? If $70,000 turns from a resistance level into a support level, then the significance of this rally is completely different. But if it quickly falls back after the surge... What we might be seeing now is just a very intense short squeeze plus capital inflow rally. #BTC加速拉升，资金还能继续接力吗？ $BTC

BTC rose 20% in a week, and I actually started to feel a bit anxious. The pace in the crypto space has been quite fast these days. BTC once surged to around $76,000 today, with a weekly increase exceeding 20%, marking the strongest week in over two years. ETH also followed with a clear rebound. Many people are now shouting: The bull market is back. But I want to remind you: Although this rise is catalyzed by fundamentals, not all risks have disappeared. The US 30-year Treasury yield is still around 5.25%, and the 10-year yield is above 4.7%. What's more troublesome is that Brent crude oil is already close to $95. In other words: High oil prices + high long-term bond yields + inflation pressure These factors are still present. So why can BTC still be so strong? I think it's mainly due to several factors stacking up simultaneously: The US Treasury expanding long-term bond repurchases, improving market liquidity expectations; Trump continuing to push for Crypto regulatory legislation; plus a large number of shorts forced to cover earlier, creating a very strong upward feedback. So this rally is not without logic. But the problem is: The faster it rises, the higher the capital requirements going forward. If BTC can stabilize above 70,000 next, it means this might not just be a short squeeze. But if it quickly falls back after surging to 76,000... Then I would think: This round is very likely that after shorts were crushed, market sentiment ran ahead of fundamentals. $BTC

BTC has been really strong these past two days. It surged from around $64,000, reaching as high as about $72,800, with a gain of over 14% in just 4 days. ETH was even more dramatic, once hitting around $2,300. But today, I actually don’t dare to chase. Because there’s something easily overlooked in this rally: The shorts have been heavily squeezed. In this single rally, about $2.7 billion worth of short positions were liquidated, forcing many who originally bet on BTC to keep falling to buy back and close their positions. This creates a very interesting phenomenon: BTC rises → Shorts get liquidated → Forced to buy → BTC continues to rise → More shorts get liquidated This is a classic short squeeze. So the most critical question now isn’t: "Can BTC break $70,000?" But rather: "After no more shorts are forced to buy, how much real money is willing to keep chasing?" This is also where I’m most cautious right now. Of course, the fundamentals have indeed changed. Trump publicly called on Congress to advance the CLARITY Act to resolve US crypto regulatory issues; the US Treasury expanded long-term bond repurchases, easing some bond market pressure, and risk asset sentiment has clearly warmed up. But after such a rapid rise, I actually want to see a pullback. If BTC can hold around $70,000 on a pullback, I’d be more bullish. If it falls straight back to $67,000 or even $65,000... Then those who chased in yesterday might start doubting their decisions. $BTC

BTC has finally broken through 70,000, but now I'm actually afraid to chase it. Yesterday it was still hovering around 64,000. Today it directly surged past 70,000 USD, once approaching 71,700 USD. It has risen more than 10% in two days. Even more surprisingly, ETH has started to catch up, once surging to around 2,270 USD today. This rise is not just pure sentiment. Yesterday, Trump directly called on Congress at the White House to advance the CLARITY Act. If this regulatory framework is ultimately implemented, one of the biggest issues in the US crypto industry—whether regulators classify tokens as securities or commodities—could finally be clearly defined. On the other hand, the US Treasury Department announced an expansion of long-term Treasury repurchases. Simply put: Long-term bond yields go down → liquidity pressure eases → risk assets start to breathe. So I think this BTC rise has more logic than previous times. But the problem also arises. Is 70,000 a real breakout, or just another bull trap? Because BTC has rapidly surged for two consecutive days, shorts have been heavily liquidated. The most likely thing to happen at times like this is: Yesterday everyone was shouting "bottom fishing," Today suddenly it becomes: "Afraid of missing out, hurry and get on board!" And what I fear most now is this kind of sentiment. So I won’t go all in just because BTC broke 70,000. I want to watch one thing first: Can 70,000 USD turn from a "resistance level" into a "support level"? If it can hold steady after pulling back to 70,000, then this market trend might really be starting a new chapter. If it surges up and then quickly falls back... That’s a different story.

Both Bitcoin and Ethereum have risen so much. What is the reason for $OKB? Has it peaked or has it not yet started to gain momentum? $OKB

BTC surged to 70,000, but I’m actually hesitant to get too excited right now. Yesterday, a big bullish candle wiped out the shorts; BTC once surged close to $70,000, with over $1 billion in shorts liquidated in just one hour. This rally isn’t just about sentiment. Trump was talking about Crypto again at the White House, the US Treasury expanded long-term bond repurchases, and risk asset sentiment warmed up together. But here’s the question: Is 70,000 a breakout, or just a short squeeze spike? What I want to see most now isn’t whether it can rise another $2,000, but: Can BTC turn 70,000 from a resistance level into a support level? Only if it holds above that can I say this rally might really be shifting gears. If it spikes up and then falls back, it looks more like shorts just got liquidated again. What do you think—can BTC hold 70,000 today? #BTC #Bitcoin #Cryptocurrency #Crypto$BTC

#BTC突破69000美元，这轮上涨能走多远？ BTC suddenly surged to 69,000, and the shorts really got crushed this time. Yesterday, BTC once rose over 6%, breaking through $69,000. In just about an hour, short liquidations exceeded $1 billion. ETH also reclaimed $2,100. The most interesting thing about this wave is not that “BTC went up.” It's that many people were just about to continue shorting, but the price moved in the opposite direction. Now the question is: Is this a real breakout, or just a pure short squeeze? If it can hold steady around 70,000, and spot funds continue to support afterward, then there might still be room for this wave. But if it can’t break through 70,000 and gives back all the gains from yesterday... Then this might just be a short squeeze, not a bull market returning. Do you dare to chase BTC above 70,000 now? $BTC
