ETH suddenly started accelerating, and the market style might have changed.
The most worth watching these days is actually not BTC.
It's ETH.
ETH has climbed back above $2500, with a weekly increase exceeding 30%, clearly starting to outperform BTC. Meanwhile, assets like XRP and SOL have also begun to collectively catch up.
What does this mean?
I think one signal is very clear:
Funds are starting to spread from the "big coin market" to high Beta assets.
If only BTC was rising alone, I would be more cautious and interpret it as a safe haven and institutional capital returning.
But now ETH, XRP, and SOL are moving together...
Market sentiment is clearly more aggressive than a few days ago.
Of course, the more it’s like this, the more you shouldn’t chase blindly.
Whether ETH can turn $2500 into a support level next is the key.
If it holds steady, the next phase might not be a BTC-only market.
Who do you think is most likely to catch up next?

After BTC surged to $79,000, what's next?
BTC has been really strong this week.
It once surged close to $79,000, with a weekly increase of over 20%, but today it started to fluctuate around $77,000.
Behind this rally, on one side, US spot BTC ETF funds are flowing back in, and on the other side, a large number of short positions are being liquidated, pushing the market even higher.
But now the most critical question is no longer "whether it will rise."
Instead, it's:
Can it hold steady between $75,000 and $77,000?
If it holds, the next target is $80,000.
If it spikes and then falls back, this short squeeze rally might need some time to digest first.
Do you think BTC can break through $80,000 directly this time?

BTC continues its strong momentum, can the capital flow sustain?
The BTC rebound this week can no longer be simply understood as a "bounce after a big drop." On Friday, it once surged to around $79,000, with a weekly increase of over 20%. More importantly, capital has started to flow back: the US spot BTC ETF saw a net inflow of about $1.6 billion this week, including a single-day inflow of over $517 million on August 20, and the latest daily data released on August 21 reached about $606 million, marking consecutive days of net inflows. This indicates an important change: this time, it's not just retail investors chasing the rally; institutional funds have also started buying again. Moreover, several catalysts have appeared simultaneously in this rally: the US Treasury expanded long-term US Treasury repurchases, triggering market expectations of improved liquidity; Trump continues to push for crypto regulatory legislation; meanwhile, a large number of shorts have been forced to cover, further amplifying BTC's rise. So the real question now is no longer: "Can BTC still rise?" but rather: "Can this capital inflow sustain?" I think we need to be a bit cautious here. Continuous ETF inflows are certainly good, but if capital inflows start to decline significantly while BTC continues to rise rapidly, it means the price may be running ahead of the funds. Conversely, if ETF net inflows continue in the coming weeks and BTC can stabilize above $70,000–$75,000, then the nature of this rally may truly change. A price breakout only proves strong buying pressure. Sustained capital inflows prove the rally's sustainability. So what I am most focused on now is not
Gold breaks through $4600, bond safe-haven status challenged
#黄金突破4600美元，债券避险地位受挑战 This wave of gold price increase is starting to feel a bit different. On August 21, spot gold briefly broke through $4600/oz, reaching a new high since May; COMEX gold futures closed around $4624 on Friday, up more than 5% this week. What’s more noteworthy is that this gold rally is not simply driven by "war-driven safe haven" demand. What’s really making the market rethink is the volatility in the U.S. Treasury market itself. This week, U.S. long-term Treasuries faced sell-offs, with long-end yields rising significantly. Subsequently, the U.S. Treasury announced it would at least double the scale of long-term Treasury buybacks, aiming to ease pressure in the long-term bond market and reduce long-term financing costs. Normally, the logic goes: Higher U.S. Treasury yields → increased opportunity cost of holding gold → gold should be under pressure. But this time, the opposite happened. After the Treasury intervened to stabilize the long bond market, the U.S. dollar weakened, and market concerns shifted from "how high interest rates will go" to: How will the U.S. resolve such a massive debt burden in the future? U.S. government debt has surpassed $40 trillion, and against this backdrop, investors are starting to seek assets that do not rely on the credit of any single country. Gold naturally becomes one of those choices. So, I think the most important aspect of this gold rally is not the $4600 figure itself. It’s a bigger change: Previously, when risks occurred, capital’s first thought was "buy U.S. Treasuries." Now the market is beginning to see
🔥 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
