Currently, $QQQ is in a dense turnover range between $710 and $717, with the core conflict focused on the battle between the high valuation of tech stocks and the strong resistance zone from $730 to $735.
From the price structure perspective, the index has formed a short-term bull-bear dividing line between $708 and $715. The $730 to $735 range above is a dense lock-up zone formed by previous highs, requiring a significant increase in volume to absorb selling pressure.
The main driving factors dominating the market are, first, the continuous suppression of tech stock valuations by the high interest rate environment, and second, capital divergence triggered by tech stock earnings reports. Without new capital following in during high-level oscillations, bullish momentum will face attenuation.
The trigger condition for the upward scenario is the index stabilizing above $715 with normal volume and breaking through the $730 to $735 resistance zone with volume. If the upward test lacks volume support, this breakout scenario will likely fail.
The trigger condition for the downward scenario is the price breaking below the core defense line between $708 and $715. Once confirmed lost, the price will seek a bottom downward, retesting the $685 to $700 range, which coincides with the 52-week relative low and a key round number level.
The critical failure point of the overall structure is set at $700. If this defense line breaks due to macro tightening, it means the mid-term bullish bottoming structure is completely destroyed.
The most important observation variables in the next 7 days are the turnover efficiency in the $710 to $717 range, as well as the volume situation when testing the $730 resistance and breaking below the $708 dividing line.

This surge was not driven by spot institutions aggressively buying, but by macro news ignition plus six weeks of accumulated short positions being passively liquidated in a chain reaction. 📊 Core liquidation data Total liquidations > $3 billion - Short liquidations: $2.77 billion (92%) - Long liquidations: $264 million - BTC short liquidations: $1.37 billion - ETH short liquidations: $1.01 billion - Highest single-hour short liquidation: $1.29 billion Exchange distribution: Binance $518 million, Hyperliquid $513 million, Bybit $303 million, with the remainder on OKX, dYdX, etc. Altcoins liquidated simultaneously: SOL shorts $187 million, XRP $142 million, DOGE $89 million. Market performance: BTC quickly surged from 64,100 to break through 72,000; ETH's 24h maximum gain was 18%, with the entire short squeeze cycle lasting about 18 hours. 🧨 Complete event chain 1️⃣ Trigger: US Treasury raised the long-term bond repo limit to $4 billion (effective 9.9–11.4) Note: This is not QE or rate cuts, but debt liquidity management to suppress long bond yields, igniting risk asset sentiment.

BTC has already rebounded continuously from a low point in this round, with a cumulative increase of nearly 18% over the past five trading days, once breaking through $70,000 and hitting an approximately 11-week high. An even more important new signal is that CryptoQuant data shows that BTC spot and perpetual futures demand have both turned positive at the same time, marking the first occurrence of this combination since the last bull market in October 2025.
This is somewhat different from a simple Short Squeeze. The rise in the past few days can be explained by short covering, but if spot demand also continues to turn positive, the market structure starts to become healthier.
At the same time, Crypto US stocks have also begun to follow the rise: Coinbase previously rose about 7.6%, and XRP once surged 18.8% in a single day.CORE DAO Series ⑤｜If you want to observe CORE long-term, I only focus on these 8 data points
After the previous analyses, I believe that judging whether Core has truly entered a bull market main rally should not be based solely on price.
I will establish a long-term data panel.

Finally, also look at: New supply vs. buyback/burn/lock-up
If the demand growth rate exceeds the effective circulating supply growth, it is easier to generate real price elasticity.
So my biggest judgment about Core's future is not: "How much can CORE rise?" but: Can Core convert BTC's growth into its own revenue; then convert that revenue into CORE demand.
If this chain runs through:

Pop Mart's half-year report is out, marking the end of last year's explosive growth and entering a growth transition period. Revenue continues to grow, but net profit growth has clearly lagged, overseas business is cooling off, and growth pressure is gradually emerging.
The biggest change comes from the IP structure. Previously highly dependent on the single core LABUBU, its revenue share has significantly declined; Star People has emerged unexpectedly, with half-year revenue soaring, quickly becoming the second largest IP. Meanwhile, CRYBABY, DIMOO, and others have formed a second tier, with a multi-IP matrix initially taking shape.
Bullish logic: breaking free from reliance on a single hit product reduces the risk of a single IP's lifecycle, the domestic market base remains solid, and a 2-5 billion yuan buyback plan has been launched to stabilize market confidence. If the IP tiers continue to produce new products, the growth ceiling is expected to further open up.
Risks are also prominent. Hit IPs have popularity cycles; whether Star People can replicate LABUBU's long lifespan and whether the overseas market can reverse its downturn remain huge uncertainties. The collectible toy industry experiences significant consumer sentiment fluctuations, and new hit products are highly contingent. Multi-IP succession is not a guaranteed outcome.
Personal view: moving from a single core to multiple IPs is the right direction, but forming a matrix does not mean immediate performance realization. During the growth transition phase, do not benchmark the future against past high growth rates. Two key observation points going forward: the new IP lifecycle continuation ability and the progress of overseas business recovery.

This is the most important question in my opinion.
Because:
BTC rising ≠ CORE necessarily rising.
What CORE really needs is:
BTC rising
→ BTC holders seeking yield
→ BTC entering Core
→ BTCFi growth
→ Protocol revenue growth
→ Demand for CORE generated
So the bull market logic for Core is essentially a "second-order Beta."
First layer:
BTC rising.
Second layer:
BTC rising drives BTCFi.
Third layer:
BTCFi drives Core.
Fourth layer:
Core's revenue ultimately feeds back to CORE.#ETH强势拉升，空头清算超11亿美元
This ETH surge is not driven by fundamentals but is a chain reaction of "shorts conceding defeat." Of the 20% increase, half was forced buybacks from liquidations, not new capital chasing.
On August 20, ETH soared to $2302, up 20.44% in 24 hours, breaking above $2000 for the first time in over two months. CoinGlass data shows that during this period, ETH short liquidations exceeded $1.1 billion, with 92% being short positions. The whale "pension-usdt.eth" suffered a single loss of $108 million. The entire short squeeze scale is the second largest in history, only behind October 2025.
The Treasury raised the long bond buyback cap from $2 billion to $4 billion, with the 30-year yield falling from 5.34%; the SEC released the Regulation Crypto draft to reduce regulatory uncertainty; the White House crypto summit called for passing the CLARITY Act. These three positive factors stacked at the shorts' most vulnerable moment.
2300 is a critical watershed. If it holds, the next target is 2400-2450; if it doesn't, a pullback to 2230-2250 is expected. However, RSI is already overbought, funding rates are high, and chasing carries significant risk. This is not a confirmed trend reversal but a violent liquidation.

but that the market discovered there is no clear answer within the Fed
On the surface, interest rates remain unchanged, but several officials still worry about inflation, and three members even support a rate hike. Energy, tariffs, AI capital expenditure, and long-term bond yields are all adding confusion to inflation and financial conditions. Investors want to hear a clear dovish or hawkish statement, but the minutes instead reveal a lot of disagreement
I think this is the most troublesome part right now
If data weakens, the market wants to bet on easing; if inflation sticks, the Fed cannot easily concede. The new chair communicates less, so the minutes become the only material for everyone to decode like a puzzle. Policy uncertainty itself will also become part of asset prices
This round, both BTC and gold are rising, which in a way is the market voting

#美联储7月FOMC纪要9比3，官员加息分歧仍在 The Bhutan government's recent move, frankly speaking, is treating Bitcoin as cash.
Yesterday, they transferred 490 BTC (about 32.7 million USD) in one go to a new wallet, with the largest single transfer being 485 BTC. It sounds impressive, but this has actually been their routine operation for over a year — selling off steadily from a peak of 13,000 BTC in 2024 down to just over 3,000 BTC now, a 70% decrease.
Interestingly, the official stance is "no coins sold," but the on-chain data clearly records every transaction, with funds continuously flowing out. This "data contradicting the official statement" is the most noteworthy aspect of this news.
The market impact is actually limited; 30+ million USD is just a drop in the bucket compared to Bitcoin's daily trading volume. But the sentiment signal is more important than the capital flow — after all, the phrase "a sovereign nation is continuously selling" is inherently sensitive in the crypto community. And at this pace, the remaining holdings will be sold off in a few months.
In short, Bhutan is treating Bitcoin as a liquid fiscal tool rather than an appreciating asset. The trend is clear; don't overreact to single transfers, just look at the bigger picture.
$BTC
#BTC加速拉升，资金还能继续接力吗？ TRX's strength is clearly weaker than BTC and ETH, more like a steady follow-up rise rather than an emotional surge. TRON's core support still lies in stablecoin transfers, on-chain activity, and fee consumption. During market rallies, its elasticity is usually not the highest, but its defensive characteristics are relatively more prominent. Going forward, it depends on whether funds flow back from high-volatility assets to public chains with clearer cash flow and usage scenarios. $TRX $BTC crypto is skyrocketing, while storage stocks have just undergone a severe valuation crash. Both $MU Micron and SK Hynix have experienced significant pullbacks, but the signals coming from the industry side tell a completely different story. Micron recently announced it will invest $10 billion over the next decade in Boise, Idaho, to build Micron Research Labs, focusing on next-generation storage technology, advanced Memory and Compute architectures, advanced packaging, and future semiconductor manufacturing.
What I think is most worth noting about this investment is not the "$10 billion" itself, but that Micron is betting on a trend: the next bottleneck for AI might be shifting from simply lacking GPUs to a combined shortage of computing power, memory, and data transfer.
In the past two years, when people talked about AI hardware, the first reaction was almost always NVIDIA. But as models grow larger and inference calls increase, no matter how fast GPUs compute, if data can't be delivered in time, the expensive computing power will just sit idle.
This is why HBM is becoming increasingly important.
This year, major tech companies are expected to invest at least $630 billion in building AI infrastructure, and Micron, SK Hynix, and Samsung have all stated that supply remains tight in the face of rapidly growing demand.
So I won’t conclude that the AI storage cycle is over just because storage stocks have dropped sharply in the short term.
GPUs determine how fast AI can compute, while Memory determines whether that computing power can actually be fully utilized. $HYPE 是Hyperliquid L1区块链的原生代币。Hyperliquid以高性能链上订单簿（CLOB）永续合约交易为主，同时支持现货、HIP-3 RWA/股票/商品/Pre-IPO市场以及HyperEVM。它在去中心化永续合约领域占据主导地位。 执行摘要 HYPE当前价格约74.37美元，24小时涨幅约6.6-7.3%，市值约165亿美元（排名第9-10），流通供应量约2.224亿枚（占总供应约23%），完全稀释估值（FDV）约743亿美元。距2026年6月16日历史高点76.87美元仅下跌约3%。 近期走势强劲：8月19-20日受美国监管利好刺激，从约58-62美元区间暴涨超20%，7日涨幅约29.5%。平台交易量、持仓量（OI）和手续费表现依然领先，但面临代币解锁压力和HIP-3分成对协议收入的影响。 核心判断：短期技术面偏强，接近前高，需观察能否站稳70-72美元并突破77美元；中长期取决于美国市场准入落地、RWA扩张以及买盘对解锁的吸收能力。估值已不便宜，但基本面支撑较强。 当前市场概况 - 价格与表现：现价74.37美元，24小时区间68.95-74.88美元，7日CORE DAO Series ②｜Why I think Core's “TVL” can't be simply viewed?
Recently, when looking at Core DAO, it's easy to fall into a data trap:
Seeing hundreds of millions of dollars in “TVL,” and then directly concluding:
"The Core ecosystem has already exploded."
I think it needs to be broken down.
Because Core has two completely different figures:
Traditional DeFi TVL
and
BTC Staking / BTCFi asset scale.
The former is actually not very large at present.
DefiLlama currently reports Core DeFi TVL at only a few million dollars.
But on the other hand, the Core ecosystem has disclosed a BTC staking scale of about 2,470 BTC.
These two numbers cannot be conflated.$BTC surged to 75,342, up 8.61% in 24 hours, reaching a high of 75,770. Whether it can hold above 75,000 gives a clear direction: if it can't hold in the short term, it will pull back. The reason is not in the technical pattern but in the fuel. This round of open interest only increased by 3.09%, while the price rose by 8.61%, less than half the growth rate; the funding rate is 0.0077%, longs have hardly paid any premium for this move; the long-short account ratio barely moved from 1.04 to 1.05, retail investors haven't really entered. Altogether, this means: the price was pushed up by shorts capitulating and closing positions, not by new money entering. Shorts are a one-time fuel, once closed, it's gone. Looking above, in nearly 200 days, there have been 44 days closing above 75,000, those people are waiting to break even, so a rebound to this level naturally faces selling pressure. Therefore, my judgment is a pullback, but not a crash—without accumulated leverage, there won't be a cascading liquidation. To overturn this judgment is simple: if open interest clearly catches up and it holds above 75,770, then new money has truly entered. A break below 73,000 confirms the pullback.The recent BTC trend has stunned many, soaring directly from over 60,000 to around 75,000, a cumulative increase of 15%, with extremely volatile swings. ETH also took off, rising over 20% in two days, surpassing $2300.
Behind the market is a fierce short squeeze, with over $1 billion in shorts forcibly liquidated in a single hour, marking the largest liquidation wave since 2021. In 24 hours, the entire network saw over $3 billion liquidated, nearly 180,000 traders wiped out, and a large number of short positions flushed out.
But the question arises: Is this surge the start of a new market trend, or just a pulse triggered by short covering?
On the funding side, institutional inflows are visible. On August 19, Bitcoin spot ETFs saw a net inflow of $517 million in a single day, a three-month high, with BlackRock alone contributing $285 million. The three-day cumulative inflow is close to $1 billion, indicating this rally is not just retail speculation.
Catalysts are also piling up: Trump meeting with crypto industry executives, signals of regulatory easing, and increased long-term bond repurchases by the U.S. Treasury, multiple positive factors resonating.
However, risks are also prominent. Although there is still room before the historical high of $126,000 in October 2025, the short-term surge has already accumulated a large amount of profit-taking pressure. Standard Chartered maintains an optimistic year-end target of $100,000, but some analysts believe this is just a technical rebound.
My view: There is still momentum in the short term, but chasing the highs carries significant risk. Whether the trend continues depends on whether ETFs can sustain net inflows and whether the 75,000 resistance level can hold. If it holds, the next target is 80,000; if not, expect consolidation around 65,000.
This is just a market opinion exchange and does not constitute investment advice BTC cleared $72K as $3B+ in shorts got wiped out — the second-largest liquidation event since 2021. Volume actually surged too, ~$91B, breaking a three-month lull. Spot demand looks like it's leading, not just leverage unwinding.
Still below the 200-day average though, and ~44K BTC has flowed to exchanges — some holders cashing in. Jackson Hole next week is the real test.
$BTC $ETH $SOL
#BTCRallyOrSqueeze #AnthropicIPONears #PopMartEarningsWatch #BTC accelerating its rise, can the funds continue to follow through?
This wave of increase is indeed a bit fast. $BTC has surged from over 60,000 all the way to around 75,000 USD, with a nearly 20% gain in just a few days, and today it even approached 75,000 at one point.
But I think the most important thing to watch now is no longer "how much more it can rise," but whether the funds behind it can keep up.
Currently, it’s not just a pure emotional pull. The US stock Bitcoin ETF has clearly seen renewed capital inflows, with a single-day net inflow of 517 million USD on August 19, indicating that off-exchange funds are indeed returning.
The problem is also obvious: the faster it rises, the more short-term profit-taking there will be. Plus, this round has already seen a large number of shorts liquidated, so the market can easily shift from a "short squeeze rally" to a "bullish relay."
My view: around 75,000 is a very critical level. If BTC can hold steady there and the ETF continues to maintain net inflows, there is still momentum for funds to push higher; but if after the surge the funds can’t keep up, then be cautious of a wave of profit-taking.
So now I won’t be outright bearish just because it’s rising sharply, nor will I blindly chase longs just because it breaks through.
What really determines whether this rally can go far is not how pretty the candlesticks look, but whether there is sustained real money coming in.
From now on, just watch two things: whether BTC can hold above 75,000, and whether ETF funds can continue to flow in.CORE DAO Series ①｜What changes will Core undergo after the bull market starts?
In the past, many people looked at Core DAO and their first reaction was:
"Another L1."
But I believe this positioning is becoming outdated.
What truly deserves attention is that Core is trying to become:
The yield layer for BTC / BTCFi infrastructure.
This means Core's core logic is shifting from:
BTC → Core → DeFi
to:
BTC → BTC Staking → lstBTC → BTCFi → Yield → CORE value capture
These two logics have completely different valuation models.
Currently, Core's traditional DeFi TVL is actually not large; what really needs attention is BTC staking.
The ecosystem has disclosed that the native BTC staking scale has already reached about 2,470 BTC.
So when evaluating Core, you can't just look at the usual L1 metrics:
• TVL
• TPS
• Active addresses
• DEX trading volume
You should pay more attention to:
How much BTC is entering Core?
Because if the future BTC bull market truly kicks off, BTC holders will develop an increasingly strong demand:
"Besides price appreciation, can my BTC generate yield?"
This is exactly Core's opportunity. 炸锅❗三星即将甩出韩国企业史上最大规模股东回报方案。$SAMSUNG 据知情媒体消息，三星电子本周五就要官宣重磅股东回报计划，总规模最高可达110万亿韩元，折合790亿美元，区间预估90‑110万亿韩元。 董事会会议安排在韩股收盘之后召开，会后立刻公布完整细则。 消息已经提前引爆盘面 周四三星单日暴涨超9%，周五开盘继续冲高，盘中再涨3.14%。 市场提前拿到风声：三星计划拿出50%自由现金流回馈股东，主要形式偏向现金分红，同时也在讨论派发特别股息。 这波大手笔背后的底层逻辑 1、AI存储红利，赚得盆满钵满 2026年Q2三星直接刷新历史单季盈利纪录，营业利润89.5万亿韩元，同比暴涨1814%。 几乎全部利润，都来自AI服务器高带宽存储芯片的爆发式需求，手里囤积了巨量现金。 2、来自SK海力士的内卷压力 就在本周三，SK海力士率先抛出40万亿韩元的股票回购方案。 存储双雄打响股东回馈竞赛，如果三星动作太小，资金很容易转头流向海力士。 3、长期被低估，倒逼管理层让步 过去很长一段时间三星分红比例偏低，手握大把现金流，但是股东拿到的回报十分有限。 AI周期赚到大钱之后，机构投资者强烈施Let me show you the real power of the debt reduction master, Old Xian and his wife. Many people talk about US debt focusing on yields, but the true strength of the debt reduction master lies in the net price. The chart below shows the net price of 30-year US Treasury bonds; the price issued in 2020 was 100, and now the net price is 47.
Who bought the 100-dollar long-term US bonds in 2020? Japan, the UK, and these allied suckers. The US version of YCC by the debt reduction master essentially means that when these allied suckers can no longer hold on, funds are massively shifted out from short-term debt to buy back and cancel the long-term bonds halved to 47. Buying low and selling high nets a profit of 53. This is basically telling the old and new players on Wall Street that the iron bottom for US Treasury net price is 47, and above that, you can freely harvest those allied sucker bonds without fear of being bitten back.
Some say Old Xian's quota is only 4 billion, which is useless against the total debt of 40 trillion. Then I ask, during 9/24, how much was the securities swap facility thrown out by the Fed? 500 billion. What is the total market cap of the big A shares in 2024? 8.5 trillion. Do you believe it? Is the real power of 9/24 really 500 billion? Obviously not. The real value of 9/24 is the Fed's statement, "If it's not enough, we can add more."BTC re-enters 70K, now the key is price holding power after the short squeeze energy is exhausted. Is there actually buying power defending 70K after the short liquidations end? The key facts confirmed from the original post are as follows. - BTC surged from about 64K to recover 70K. - In this process, more than $2.7 billion in short positions were liquidated, acting as the upward momentum. - The current point is where the short squeeze effect is cooling down, and confirming support at 70K will determine the next step. A short squeeze is a structural feedback where forced liquidation of derivative positions leads to spot buying. The $2.7 billion short liquidation created temporary buying pressure, but this was not spontaneous market demand but forced position closure. Therefore, whether spot buying defending 70K appears after the liquidations end is the turning point for trend continuation. If 70K turns into support, the 71K-72K range, where short positions have accumulated again, could be the next target. Conversely, if 70K breaks down, this rise will be temporary due to leverage liquidation The scale keeps expanding, but the speed of making money has clearly slowed down. Has POPMART started to decline? It's reasonable to be bearish in the long term!
The most interesting part of the semi-annual report is not that revenue is still growing, but that income grew by 23.8%, while profit only increased by 10.1%.
In simple terms, the business is still growing, but the speed of making money can no longer keep up with revenue growth.
LABUBU went to the World Cup, but POPMART's growth has clearly shifted gears!
THE MONSTERS, which owns LABUBU, had revenue of ¥4.45 billion in the first half of the year, down 7.5% year-on-year.
But Star People exploded directly, with revenue of ¥2.65 billion, a year-on-year increase of 580.6%, instantly becoming the second largest IP.
This actually exposes POPMART's real problem now: POPMART needs to constantly create the next LABUBU.
If an IP becomes popular, the company grows rapidly; if the IP cools down, growth shifts gears accordingly, so the valuation naturally becomes more dependent on "the next hit."
But if Star People, plush products, and more IPs can continue to take over, then POPMART is selling not just individual toys, but a capability to continuously create hits.
What needs to be watched now is not whether LABUBU can become popular again.
But whether POPMART can prove that it is not making money from just one IP, but truly has the ability to continuously create IPs. However, this seems not so easy to achieve!

#FundamentalResearchReport #Crypto #Research #OKXOrbitBTC昨夜悄悄回到72,700美元，但真正让我在意的，是它涨完之后居然没有像以前那样立刻摔下来。 你有没有发现，美股跌、加密涨，这种脱钩已经连续出现好几次了？ 昨晚纳指又跌了大约1%，标普也跌了0.87%，美债收益率重新抬头，油价还在高位。之前财政部回购带来的那点宽松劲头，看起来正在消退。传统市场明显在喘气，可加密这边像没听见一样，BTC 24小时照样涨了4%左右。这不是小事情，说明现在买加密的钱，跟买美股的钱，可能已经不完全是同一批人了。 - 资金偏好正在悄悄改变：从"跟风美股"转向"独立叙事驱动" - 政策面是重要底气：CLARITY法案持续推进，白宫前两日会见加密行业领袖，情绪托底还在 - ETH昨天突破2,300美元，走势比BTC更显韧性，开始有点自己的节奏了 - XRP昨晚24小时涨超12%，BNB、LINK也跟上了，资金明显在从BTC向外围扩散 我昨天盯着盘面看，最大的感受是：BTC负责稳住阵脚，ETH负责试探空间，山寨币负责制造赚钱效应。这种分工清晰的行情，往往比单边拉涨更健康，因为它说明资金不是恐慌性抱团，而是有选择地分配仓位。 不过有几个点我想提醒自己，也想提醒你： 🔥BTC surged from 64,000 to 75,000 in three days: This rally wasn’t driven by Trump alone, stop blaming the wrong person
$BTC
On August 21 intraday, BTC surged near $75,000, fluctuating repeatedly between 74,594 and 75,120, with a cumulative three-day increase of about 15%. But if you only look at the White House crypto summit and think this rally is a “Trump bull run,” you’re being deceived by appearances—this wave is a three-layer structure exploding together:
Bond market ignited first: On August 19, the U.S. Treasury doubled the repurchase scale of 10–30 year long bonds “at least,” pushing long-term yields down; on the same day, BTC started its breakout from 64,000. The logic is “pressing the long end = loosening liquidity = risk asset revaluation.”
ETF followed up with aggressive buying: From August 17–19, U.S. spot BTC ETFs saw net inflows of about $1 billion over three consecutive days, with $517 million on August 19 alone, a three-month high. BlackRock’s IBIT alone absorbed $285 million, with total historical net inflows surpassing $61.6 billion.
On-chain accumulation has been quietly happening: According to CryptoQuant data, over the past 60 days, large holders have net increased their BTC holdings by about 43,000 BTC ≈ $2.75 billion; mid-sized holders with 100–1,000 BTC and super whales holding over 10,000 BTC are buying simultaneously. This isn’t retail FOMO; it’s a structure laid near 60,000. $BTC 本轮加密市场反弹，源于资金提前博弈美联储降息预期。本周全部重磅宏观数据落地，预期彻底兑现。 美联储会议纪要偏鹰，叠加就业、制造业数据大幅强于预期，快速降息幻想破灭，高利率将会持续更长时间，支撑本轮上涨的核心逻辑不复存在。 经历一轮持续上涨后，盘面堆积大量短线获利盘。遵循买预期、卖事实的市场规律，缺少新利多催化，获利资金止盈离场，市场具备回调基础。 盘面上，BTC此前上涨依靠空头平仓推动，增量买盘正在消退，上行动力枯竭，震荡下行消化浮盈是大概率。 ETH紧跟BTC走势，回调阶段下跌弹性更大。大部分山寨将同步跟随大盘回撤；少数如TRUMP这类筹码结构优良的标的，存在局部独立行情机会，但无法抵御大盘系统性下跌风险。 后续虽然还有多项加密政策等待推进，但法案极易延期，仅能带来短暂行情脉冲，难以改变当前宏观承压的格局。 行情思路总结 1、宏观预期已经落地，上涨驱动力消失，短期回调窗口正式开启，切勿盲目追高。 2、现阶段优先防范系统性风险，适当降低仓位，规避高位筹码抛压。 3、密切关注BTC关键支撑位，支撑守住则进入区间震荡；一旦有效跌破，将开启更深幅度调整。 4、即便看好具备独立逻辑的山寨，也需LAB real-time market data analysis on August 21 at 13:45
Current price is $0.0842, with a 24-hour increase of about +4.13%. After the panic crash caused by large-scale token concentration deposits to exchanges in the previous period, the current situation is a weak rebound after overselling, with overall weak rebound volume.
Key price levels: first support at 0.0775, strong support at 0.0710‑0.0730; short-term resistance at 0.0912 (intraday high). After breaking through, the upper target is in the 0.103‑0.108 range.
Contract level: The contract turnover in the past 24 hours has shrunk significantly compared to the previous peak, indicating low short-term capital participation willingness. The on-site long-short ratio slightly favors longs, mostly short-term funds speculating on oversold rebounds. Long-term main funds have not yet returned. The market shows frequent spikes and extremely high volatility risk.
Capital level: Previously, large addresses related to the project consolidated tokens accounting for nearly 43.4% of the circulating supply and deposited them to exchanges, leaving a psychological shadow of continuous selling pressure on the market and damaging long-term capital confidence. This rebound is mainly driven by trapped funds entering to speculate on oversold recovery. Without new major narrative catalysts, it is difficult to restart the previous main upward trend. To initiate a new round of sustained rally, large-scale selling pressure needs to be absorbed, and new narrative hotspots must emerge to take over.
Overall, at this stage, it is only an oversold rebound with insufficient bullish momentum. The market fluctuates repeatedly, and the risk of chasing highs has significantly increased.

#BTCRallyOrSqueeze #AnthropicIPONears #PopMartEarningsWatch The U.S. Treasury may repurchase more than $4 billion each period, and a rare change is beginning to appear in the U.S. Treasury market. The U.S. Treasury just increased the repurchase scale of 10–30 year bonds from about $2 billion to at least $4 billion each period. Today, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen clearly stated: if necessary, this number can continue to rise. Why should Crypto pay attention to this? Because the current problem in the U.S. is not short-term interest rates, but that long-term borrowing is becoming increasingly expensive. The 30-year Treasury yield recently surged to near the highest level since 2007, putting pressure on mortgages, corporate financing, and tech stock valuations. What the Treasury is doing now, simply put, is buying back long-term bonds to try to push down long-end yields. This is also one of the important macro backgrounds for BTC's recent sudden acceleration: long bond yields falling, the dollar weakening, and funds being more willing to re-enter gold and Crypto. But there is a very big conflict here: after the Treasury's repurchase, the 30-year yield rebounded to about 5.25%, and the 10-year yield is also around 4.71%. This indicates the market is saying: $4 billion can save liquidity but cannot solve the $40 trillion U.S. debt and high inflation. So what we really need to watch next is not "how much more the Treasury will buy." Rather: if repurchases continue to expand, can long bond yields truly be pushed down? If they can be suppressed, the macro environment for BTC and gold will continue to improve; if not, this rally will face high interest rate pressure again Pop Mart’s latest results tell a more complicated story. 📊
Revenue hit ¥17.17B, up 23.8%, but net profit rose only 10.1%—growth is still strong, but profitability is slowing.
The bigger question is whether new IPs like Star People can fill the gap as LABUBU cools off. Six IPs generating over ¥100M is encouraging, but overseas weakness shows the global expansion story still needs proof.

A cliff-like 12% plunge: Baidu kills its own “cash cow,” is AI this powerful medicine a cure or poison?
Baidu has delivered a financial report that makes people break out in a cold sweat.
Once the report was released, the US stock market immediately responded with a clean and sharp drop—pre-market and subsequent trading days saw the stock price plunge 12.7%.
The air is filled with the sour taste of “tears of the times.”
Looking only at the surface numbers, total revenue was ¥31.3 billion RMB, a year-on-year decline of 4%, seemingly still within a “pain zone” that people can barely accept. But if you flip to the core business page of the report, you’ll find the real blow hidden beneath the surface:
The once rock-solid, day-and-night milk-producing “cash cow”—online marketing service revenue (i.e., advertising)—plummeted 19%, down to only ¥13.1 billion.
Meanwhile, Baidu App’s monthly active users (MAU) have slid from their past peak to about 640 million.
On one side, AI business is booming in the report, with infrastructure fully deployed; on the other, traditional advertising business is hemorrhaging precipitously.
This scene is like a middle-aged man biting the bullet to keep up with the youth trend, smashing the luxury car that made him wealthy and replacing it with an electric-burning race car.
To survive the life-and-death trial of the AI era, it had to personally slaughter its own advertising cash cow to sacrifice for that uncertain future. $BTC DOGE's recent surge is a textbook whale trap: first sweeping stop losses on short positions between 0.071–0.076, then a spike up to 0.0835, with social media shouting "breakout" to lure retail investors to chase higher.
On-chain data shows an average buy-in at 0.0835, with all the chasing volume buried above; old whales' semi-dormant addresses are transferring coins to exchanges, and spot taker sell volume is outweighing buy volume.
60%–70% of circulating supply is held by fewer than 200 giant whales. This is not a resistance breakout but a liquidity-driven dump to rescue positions.
Chasing above 0.0835 means paying whales a bailout fee; only if the price holds above 0.071 on the pullback is it worth watching.Yili Hua: Bitcoin Has Ended the Bear Market Trend, Still Bullish for the Next Two Weeks
Yili Hua, founder of Liquid Capital (formerly LD Capital), wrote that since judging the rebound ended in May, his main focus over the past two months has been one thing: July to August may be the last bottom-fishing opportunity for this BTC cycle. With Bitcoin's daily chart strongly breaking through the 120-day and 200-day moving averages, and the weekly chart breaking through the 20-week moving average, the BTC bear market trend has officially ended.
He stated that the market is still bullish for the next two weeks, but a pullback may occur after rising to a certain level. The subsequent pullback will not exceed 50% of the rise. If investors use leverage, it is recommended to close long positions and refer to the weekly chart trends and pullback ranges during the 2023 bull cycle.
In this cycle, Bitcoin fell from a high of 126,000 USD to 57,000 USD, a maximum drop of about 56%. He believes this drop has formed a cycle low, and it will be difficult for the market to see BTC prices starting with 50,000 USD again.$BTC 我刚才又用浮盈分批加了数次仓。 先说结论：这次并非毫无逻辑，但逻辑只完成了一半——方向有依据，位置偏激进，风险结构明显恶化，盈亏比也不合格。 从行情看，1小时和15分钟均线仍保持多头排列，PDI明显高于MDI，趋势暂未反转；5分钟价格也还守在WMA20附近。因此，我顺着趋势加仓并不是逆势赌博。 但问题出在时机。 这次加仓发生在75,200—75,300阻力区附近，15分钟一度冲到75,494后快速回落，说明上方抛压并没有被真正消化。与此同时，1小时RSI约76.5，属于强势但偏热的状态。此时加仓，更像是在前高下方抢突破，而不是等突破确认后的回踩。 仓位变化更值得警惕： 原仓位名义金额约19,230，追加后扩大到约32,092，增幅接近67%；开仓均价从约75,188.9抬升至75,213.8，盈亏平衡价升至约75,289.2。 最关键的是，强平线从73,759.9上移到了74,510.4。 按当前75,130附近计算，原来的强平缓冲约1,370点，现在只剩约620点，安全空间缩小了大约55%。我表面上是在用浮盈加仓，实际上是把已经获得的安全垫重新交还给市场。 浮盈从来不是“🚀 $DOGE — LONG SETUP 🟢

And the liquidation numbers are insane: around $3.3B wiped out, with shorts making up roughly 92% of the damage. 🔥
But don’t get trapped by the “$160B entered the market” narrative.
This looks much more like a massive short squeeze than a wave of fresh spot capital. Forced short covering can make the chart look unstoppable—until the forced buying runs out.
#BTCRallyOrSqueeze #AnthropicIPONears #PopMartEarningsWatch #BTC accelerating its rise, can the funds continue to take over?
I think the current wave of rally has a somewhat shaky fund relay.
Rising from 64,000 to 75,000 in three days looks fierce, but I think it’s more like shorts being collectively buried (over $3 billion in short liquidations), pushed up by passive buying, not real money chasing.
Several key signals are not good:
1. No significant new long positions entering in perpetual contracts, the short squeeze engine is about to stall.
2. On the ETF side, although over $500 million flowed in a single day, overall it’s still at a floating loss (average price around 82,000), so the pressure to sell to break even remains.
3. Short-term holders have already started transferring coins to exchanges to lock in profits.
Trading suggestions:
- Bitcoin: Don’t chase the highs. I think a light long position can be tried on a pullback to the 70,400-70,800 range, targeting around 72,500, with a firm stop loss below 69,500.
- Ethereum: Follow Bitcoin but with greater volatility. If Bitcoin holds steady, Ethereum’s support near 2,200 can be watched for a rebound.
Next, focus on spot buying and ETF net inflows; if they don’t pick up, this wave is likely just a pulse move.
$BTC $ETH #Bitcoin broke through $70,000 on August 20, reaching a new high since early June, and once climbed above $72,000. As of August 21, BTC's highest point reached about $73,800, with a weekly increase expanding to about 17%.
🚀 Why the sudden surge?
1. U.S. Treasury repo lowers long-term yields
The U.S. Treasury announced an expansion of long-term Treasury repos, causing the 30-year yield to fall from its high. The decline in interest rates improves liquidity expectations, attracting funds to "hard assets" like gold and Bitcoin.
2. Trump strengthens crypto policy expectations
Trump urged Congress to advance the CLARITY Act and signaled the government might further purchase Bitcoin, significantly reducing market uncertainty about U.S. crypto regulation.
3. Short sellers forced to cover, accelerating the rise
After BTC broke through key round-number resistance, a large number of short stops/liquidations were triggered, further amplifying the rally. Data shows daily crypto market short liquidations reached billions of dollars. #BTC加速拉升，资金还能继续接力吗？ $BTC $ETH $SOL $BTC BTC accelerates its rally, can the funds continue to take over? Personal opinion
BTC has entered a short-term accelerated rally phase, with the market showing obvious short squeeze characteristics. A large number of short positions have been liquidated, passively pushing up the coin price, which has quickly warmed the overall market risk sentiment. However, whether the rally can continue depends not on the short-term gains but on whether incremental funds can take over the baton after the short squeeze.
Part of the momentum for this round of rise comes from short covering. A large number of previously accumulated short orders were triggered for forced liquidation at key resistance levels, and the buybacks from closing positions created a positive feedback loop that amplified the gains. This is a battle of existing funds, not a new influx of long positions. The encouraging sign is that spot ETFs have seen a phase of inflows, with large net inflows in a single day, and institutional buying has returned, providing real support for the market. But it is important to distinguish that a single-day large inflow is different from sustained capital entry; one large inflow cannot be equated directly with a complete reversal of the capital trend.
Currently, the market has formed obvious divergences. The optimistic view holds that regulatory bill expectations combined with marginal easing of macro inflation, loosening of high US Treasury yields, and reopening of the crypto asset allocation window will lead to ETF funds warming up and starting a new main upward trend. The cautious view warns that after the short squeeze rally, a large amount of short positions have been cleared, and there are no more shorts to provide passive buying. If ETF inflows quickly decline, it will be difficult to maintain the high levels relying only on retail sentiment, and after short-term overbought conditions, a profit-taking pullback pressure may come at any time. #BTC加速拉升，资金还能继续接力吗？ There might be some good news for those looking to withdraw funds; you might want to wait a little longer.
┈➤ 800 billion RMB is about to be selectively released.
First, this is not QE, nor is it a liquidity injection. But the funds come from idle commercial bank reserves, so there will be some liquidity released.
Second, the scale of 800 billion RMB is quite small, so its impact on the exchange rate will be minimal.
Third, this portion of funds is targeted for the AI and digital economy sectors, so it may not flow into the international market.
Fourth, however, this could have some effect on market sentiment and expectations.
To recall, last year this policy-driven fund release started in late September and was completed by the end of October. At the same time, the Fed cut interest rates in September last year, with expectations of further cuts in Q4. Between September 24 and October 24 last year, the USD/CNY exchange rate did see a slight upward movement.
Last year 500 billion was released; this year it's 800 billion. The US is unlikely to cut rates this year.
┈➤ The US Treasury is accelerating the buyback of US debt.
From September 9 to November 4, this action, while not enough to completely reverse the dollar's trend, should have some short-term impact.
┈➤ The trend of USDT
Last year, U/USD traded mostly at a premium; this year, it has mostly been at a discount. The price of U is also related to market conditions. BTC has broken $75,000, and USDT is also showing an upward trend.
In summary, U is not guaranteed to rise 100%, but at least in the short term (within one month), it should stabilize.After the rapid surge and celebration of BTC, how much longer can the funds continue to follow through?
$BTC #BTC加速拉升，资金还能继续接力吗？
The low-volatility market that had been silent for months was completely ended overnight.
BTC powerfully broke through multiple layers of resistance, standing above the $75,000 mark, tearing apart the long-term narrow-range consolidation pattern. The most direct driver of this surge was a large-scale short squeeze, with nearly $3 billion liquidated across the entire network within 24 hours. A large number of crowded short positions were forced to stop losses, causing passive buying to flood in and forcibly pushing the price higher.
The positive factors are not limited to contract short squeezes; spot funds have already genuinely flowed back. On August 19, the net inflow of BTC+ETH spot ETFs in the US market reached as high as $706 million in a single day. Institutional buying, absent for a long time, re-entered the market, laying a spot foundation for this round of rise, no longer just a fleeting spike driven by contract leverage.
However, market divergences are now fully exposed:
Some are confident this is a trend recovery brought by a regulatory turning point and liquidity warming, with the consolidation bottom completely finished and a new upward cycle beginning;
Others remain highly cautious, believing this is merely a short-term overextension of a squeeze. Once the shorts are fully liquidated, without new funds to follow, volume will lag, profit-taking at high levels will occur, and the market could easily see a significant pullback.
We need to recognize two core key points:
1. The first wave of this rally was mostly driven by short covering. Now that many low-position shorts have exited, continuing strength must rely on sustained net inflows from ETFs, incremental stablecoin funds, and retail off-exchange capital working together.
2. If volume continues to shrink and market heat fades, the long-position leverage accumulated at high levels will become the fuse for a new round of intense volatility, greatly increasing the risk of a sharp pullback after the surge.
Core practical strategy for the future:
Do not blindly chase the acceleration. Holders should gradually set break-even stop profits to protect hard-earned gains; observers need not rush to enter, but wait for a pullback to key support and clear volume structure before judging opportunities.
The celebration will eventually pause. The faster the market moves, the more we need to steady the pace and rationally view this surge, avoiding letting short-term frenzy disrupt trading rhythm.
Risk reminder: The content is for market analysis and communication only and does not constitute any investment advice Market Observation:
Such consistent ETF net inflows haven't been seen for a long time.
I was focused on watching the market, trading, and chasing news the past few days, which made me overlook the ETF capital flows.
Looking back, before BTC started on August 19, there was actually a very clear signal:
BTC, ETH, and SOL all showed ETF net inflows simultaneously.
And around 8 PM that same day, BTC officially started its move.
Looking back today, the signal has become even clearer.
Besides BTC, ETH, and SOL, related ETF funds like HYPE, LINK, DOGE, and XRP have also successively shown net inflows.
ETF Signal:
The key is not how much capital flows into a single coin, but that the funds are starting to show directional consistency.
This phenomenon often appears when market risk appetite noticeably warms up and capital re-embraces crypto assets.
Of course, ETF net inflows don't mean the market will only rise without falling, but at least it shows institutional funds are not clearly retreating and are instead supporting trend continuation.
Capital Flow:
Overall, current funds show a certain resonance characteristic:
* BTC, ETH, and SOL are the first to show sustained net inflows
* Then it spreads to mainstream and hot assets like HYPE, LINK, DOGE, and XRP
* Funds are no longer acting on isolated points but flowing synchronously at the sector level
This "diffusive inflow" usually means market sentiment is shifting from cautious to positive.
Trading Strategy:
So my core idea at this stage is simple:
$BTC $OKB $SOL
Do not short against the trend.
Do not short against the trend.
Do not short against the trend.
Unless there is a clear reversal signal on the chart, there is no need to easily bet on a top due to short-term fluctuations.
Operationally, I prefer to wait for BTC to pull back before going long:
* Small divergence, watch for support
* Large divergence, wait for a second test
* After confirming the second test, wait for consolidation breakout
As long as the trend is intact, following the trend is more important than guessing the top.

Found it!!! $BTC
This wave seems inexplicable but is actually the result of three combined factors:
1. Too many shorts, this wave directly turned into a short squeeze
In the past few months, Bitcoin fell from $126,000 to just over $60,000, with almost every rebound being crushed.
After such a long decline, the market formed a very consistent consensus:
A rebound means shorting.
So short positions became increasingly crowded, and leverage piled up higher and higher.
The problem is, when everyone is shorting, little do they realize that forced liquidation = buying to close long positions = pushing prices up 📈
After BTC broke through, the first batch of high-leverage shorts started liquidating. Short liquidations mean the trading platform must buy back BTC to close positions, so:
Price rises → short liquidations → forced buying → continued rise → more short liquidations. 🫣
⸻
2. A bigger catalyst from the U.S. Treasury
Recently, long-term U.S. Treasury yields surged, and the market's biggest concern was tightening liquidity.
As a result, the U.S. Treasury announced that starting September 9, the single liquidity support repo limit for bonds over 10 years will be raised from $2 billion to at least $4 billion, continuing until early November.
This move actually injects liquidity into the market:
Treasury yields fall → dollar weakens → U.S. stocks (risk assets) rise → cryptocurrencies rise. 📈
The reason is simple: when bank interest rates are high, you don't want to invest in risk assets; conversely, low bank interest rates force you to invest and consume 🤓

3. Trump's late-stage move 🤨
Trump met with crypto industry executives from Coinbase, Payward, Blockchain, etc., at the White House, reiterating the push to make the U.S. a global digital asset hub.
The SEC also proposed new crypto asset regulations: digital asset projects raising less than xxx in the U.S. are not considered illegal fundraising 🤡
What further stimulated the market was:
Trump said he would consider the regulators' suggestion for the government to increase Bitcoin holdings.
Whether this will actually happen remains to be seen, but for market sentiment, the signal is already clear:
U.S. policy toward Crypto is still moving in a more friendly direction.
Believe in Trump's TACO!!!First, SK Hynix pushed 24.07 million shares onto the board, betting on a sacrifice: 40 trillion KRW is not an expense, but an added permanently mobile pawn chain for the opponent's camp. On Samsung's side, the 9.8 trillion annual dividend is just a routine king-side castling; the real killer move is hidden in the phrase "50% return on cumulative FCF over three years"—that's the promotion tactic buried in the rear pawn formation.
Where is the game? The middle game. AI memory demand is like a pawn advancing straight down the file, its speed changing the entire board's valuation coordinates. Market rumors say Samsung holds a plan worth hundreds of trillions, but the official line is "under review, no set timeline." A grandmaster hears this as: before the real move, he has already chosen his straight flush in the endgame.
Amateurs ask: "Can cash flow simultaneously feed expansion and returns?" Professionals only watch the clock and ask another question: who will transform first in this move?
SK Hynix chooses this moment to cancel capital stock, like actively exchanging the queen in the center, simplifying the board into a king-and-pawn endgame with mutual restrictions; Samsung refuses to reveal its bottom cards, using two bishops to guard two diagonals, luring the opponent's pawns past the fourth rank before counter-capturing. Cash flow is equivalent to initiative: if you don't stack it into offense, it becomes a lone rear pawn you must constantly defend.
And the AI storage board always has only sixty-four squares. The two giants suppress each other on the same pawn chain; one raises its valuation through buybacks, the other stabilizes the king's castle with dividends. Capital only watches who checkmates first. If that hundred-trillion plan is real, it's Samsung's long check cycle; if just a rumor, SK Hynix's sacrificed piece will become a textbook example. Professionals don't predict; they only choose in which endgame to finish.
Samsung is still thinking long. But thinking long is not waiting.
Those afraid to die open with a pawn move; those who will win blindly reach for the pawn about to promote. #SamsungToFollowHynix
