There is a rather strange phenomenon in the crypto circle.
When a coin rises, everyone starts researching why it has value; when a coin falls, everyone starts researching why it is trash.
For the same project, with different prices, the comment section can reach completely opposite conclusions.
So now I see ETH the same way.
It climbed back from 2400 to 2700, with on-chain staking lockups and continuous net inflows into ETFs, the narrative logic hasn't changed; but if it drops 2.5% in a day, some say it will go to zero, say L2 is a vampire, say it is surpassed by SOL.
Price is just a thermometer of sentiment, not a verdict on value.
You should research when you need to, doubt when you need to, and think clearly for yourself when it comes to your own money.
$ETH #以太坊主网十一周年：十一年不间断运行与生态成就 #加密总市值重返2.8万亿美元 Is the bull market here? Don't rush to go all in. Leverage is a meat grinder, not an elevator.🚨
BTC touched 87000, the whole network is boiling. The total market cap returned to 3 trillion. Then what? A bearish candle smashed it back to 83500. Those chasing the high just got ticketed right after boarding.
The liquidation map is even scarier: between 82k and 78k, about 2.7 billion long positions are being squeezed. That's not support, it's a minefield. If the price steps in, it's not a pullback, it's a chain explosion.
So don't ask if you can add positions. First ask yourself: if it blows up, can you accept it?
ETH is the real signal.
Look at two things: whether the pullback is on low volume, and whether the lows are rising. Low volume stabilization means limited selling pressure; a volume breakout above the previous high confirms the catch-up rally. Otherwise, you're just running alongside.
A short-term pullback doesn't mean the bull market is over; it's leverage floating positions taking a bath. After the wash, the burden is lighter. But before it's done, don't risk your life testing the waters.
You can be bullish, watching the rotation of BTC, ETH, and DOGE. But the skilled warrior defends before attacking. Don't shout charge before the risks are cleared.
If the trend exists, the wind will naturally come.🚀
#美伊3小时会谈释放积极信号？ #BTC冲高$87000，加密总市值重返3万亿 $BTC !!! What might happen when Trump and the General Secretary meet?
BTC, ETH, and XRP all pulled back together today, but the real show might not have started yet.
BTC is around 84.2K, tried several times to break 87K but couldn't hold;
ETH is about 2.67K, 2.7K has become a new battleground between bulls and bears;
XRP is around 1.50, after pushing above 1.60 earlier, it clearly retreated.
Today the market is still focused on the meeting between Trump and Xi Jinping.
For news of this level, the most common market pattern is:
Everyone wildly guesses before the news,
Everyone rushes to exit after the news comes out.
I will watch three key levels:
BTC retaking 85K → chance to challenge 87K again;
ETH reclaiming 2.7K → watch 2.8K;
XRP retaking 1.55 → sentiment might recover.
If after the news drops, all three coins surge with volume, short-term risk appetite might return.
If they spike and then immediately crash back down...
That’s the market telling you:
"Thanks for participating, the script wasn’t written this way." 😂September 24｜NEAR: Code merge does not mean the new fee rules have been implemented
NEAR has once again come into market focus today. More important than just saying "increased burn" is to clearly understand how the fee distribution changes have progressed: House of Stake's HSP-027 has been approved, and nearcore merged the related code on July 23, planning to reduce the 30% Gas reward originally returned to developers during smart contract execution to zero, directing this portion of fees into the protocol burn path.
However, the governance progress report on September 17 still marked the mainnet deployment as pending completion. After the code merge, the protocol version release, validator upgrades, and mainnet activation are still required; passing the proposal does not mean the on-chain effect has already been realized. This adjustment targets fee distribution and does not mean ordinary users' transaction fees will increase. What truly matters going forward is verifying the mainnet status and actual burn data; hype alone cannot replace this evidence. The proportion of fee burns relative to circulating supply still depends on actual on-chain usage; even if the parameter is set to zero, if the call volume is insufficient, the effect will be limited.
$NEAR #NEAR
For informational purposes only, not investment advice.Good morning. Here's the conclusion first: last night was not a pullback, it was a liquidation. Out of 476 perpetual contracts, 284 dropped more than 3%, 201 dropped more than 5%, and 35 dropped more than 10%. $BTC closed at 84,258 (-2.74%), but what illustrates the situation better is the funding rate: 0.0095% at 00:00 settlement, down to only 0.0005% at 08:00. What happened last night? The 10-year US Treasury yield broke 5%, the first time in 19 years. The rate cut narrative was postponed, and long-term interest rates stepped up again. BTC's drama all happened in the hour around 22:00: it dropped from 85,798 to 84,535 (-1.47%, lowest at 83,856), then stayed sideways for 8 hours. Breadth collapsed first, price followed. Only 12 rose more than 3%, while 284 fell more than 3%. Top decliners: $ONE -58%, MUBARAK -29.19%, FLOCK -19.96%. When 35 coins drop more than 10%, what you hold is not "sector rotation," but the same liquidity pool being drained. The strong side flipped again, and extremely so. In a sample of 100 ETH trades, shorts were liquidated for 2.13 million U, longs only 5 U, and the sample spans just 3 hours (22:07 to 01:01). The price was falling, yet the liquidations were still shorts—not the direction that was liquidated, but those who "fell down"BTC price movement today (September 24)
Current price is roughly between $84,200–$84,400, with narrow fluctuations and low volatility during the Asian morning session.
In recent days
• September 21: surged from about $81k to $87,000–$87,400, a significant single-day increase.
• September 22: sideways at a high level, closed around $86,200.
• September 23: rose then fell, bottomed near $83,500, closed around $84,000–$84,500.
• Today: hovering near yesterday’s close, no further upward push nor deeper drop.
A week ago it was at $75k–$76k, now about 10% higher than then.
On the 21st–22nd, spot ETFs saw consecutive large inflows (about +$1 billion, +$700 million), which was the main spot force driving the price to $87k. Today is still digesting that rapid rise and profit-taking.
It looks more like a pullback day after breaking through the $83k–$86k cost wall, not a new round of one-sided acceleration. Volume during the Asian session is average; the direction depends on whether the European and American markets can push back above $86k after opening, or if it will retest near yesterday’s low.The Senate Banking Committee window was once again written into the narrative of prediction market regulation: 11 Democratic senators jointly called for Chairman Tim Scott to hold a public hearing on the prediction market, with reports from the Republican side meeting privately with CEO Kalshi. In the same jurisdictional tug-of-war, some interpreted this as "once it scales up, there must be a public inquiry"—Pew wrote that Kalshi and Polymarket combined monthly turnover in July at about $53 billion, nearly double the roughly $26 billion in May; others reminded that the letter is still just a request, not a scheduled hearing, and certainly not that the SEC/CFTC has clarified who controls company performance-related contracts. The headline will revolve around "private roundtable vs. public hearing," but the headline ≠ the rules are implemented. Buzz ≠ deal path. It may just be a procedural battle being amplified, and it's still uncertain whether the next window will actually be held publicly. First, note the '11 Democratic Party members, Kalshi, public hearing requirements.' If there are later formal scheduling or named regulatory guidelines, it will be more reassuring to compare with this window.Today, CORE tweeted about BTC-Fi, showing off earnings and hosting seminars. The buzz was maintained, but no major positive news materialized.
The community has already started dreaming: Maji Big Brother is adjusting his BTC ecosystem holdings, and the whales are about to enter the market to lay out CORE!
The reality is painful—the actual new BTC staking volume on the chain has not exploded. Trapped positions above are layered and waiting for a rebound to escape; what is rising now is only a recovery driven by sector sentiment, not a breakout by new capital inflows.
Even if the whale really set its sights on this sector, it doesn't mean he'll come to help trap the market. The whale entered the market to take advantage, not to act as a philanthropist.
Many people start hoping for a breakout when they see positive news on Twitter and a rebound in the market. Remember: the rebound of small coins is often just a chance for those previously stuck, not the starting point of a new bull market.
Whether the 0.0255 resistance level can hold firm is the only touchstone. If it can't rise, it's all an illusion.
Don't let narratives cloud your judgment and chase high positions with heavy positions.- 3K 这个数字今天被我盯了很久，因为 BTC 就在它附近来回磨，ETH 也退到 2.67K 一带，两个主流一起回撤超过 2%。跌得不算凶，可那种"明明有利好却涨不动"的钝感，才最让人警惕。 你猜市场现在真正在交易的，是回调本身，还是"利好已经提前用完"？ 先看事实。22 号那天，BTC 现货 ETF 净流入大约 7.147 亿美元，ETH 那边也有 1.623 亿美元。这个量放在平常绝对算亮眼，价格却没接住，反而往下压。我第一反应不是"资金跑了"，而是这些买盘可能早被计价过一轮，等数据落地，短线反而没人愿意继续追。 所以这轮更像一次事件重定价，不是趋势掉头。ETF 持续吸筹说明中期需求还在，机构没急着走；但价格对好消息反应变钝，意味着上方抛压和获利了结也在同步变重。这两股力量现在卡在一起，谁都没赢。 关键位置我记在小本本上： - BTC 想保住修复结构，83K 到 84K 这条带不能丢，丢了节奏会明显变差 - 往上要重新站上 86K，才谈得上动能回来 - ETH 守在 2.66K 上方，突破后的结构才算完整，下一段才有机会看 2.8K 到 3K 偏多的路径是：ETF 继续净流入，价The yen fell below 157, did Japan's rate hike end up being pointless? Global tightening is being ignored by the market
The Bank of Japan raised rates to 1.25%, the highest since 1995, yet the yen fell below 157. The logic is simple—the market bets that Japan won't dare to continue aggressive rate hikes because the debt is too heavy. The rate hike ended up being pointless.
Three members of the Bank of England voted to raise rates immediately, warning that energy prices could push inflation higher. After the Fed's rate hike in September, the market is already betting "the next one might not happen." Although global high interest rate expectations are heating up, the market is not panicking; the reactions of long-term bonds and risk assets are restrained.
My judgment: It's not about who is swimming naked now, but that both bulls and bears are waiting for the next data. The tightening cycle is not over yet, but the market has already started pricing in the "end." Funds and institutions are playing a game.
Strategy: Wait for inflation data before deciding the direction; guessing tops or bottoms now is meaningless.

🚨【ZEC Whale Short Covering Triggers Surge and Pullback, Short-Term Risks Heating Up】
According to on-chain monitoring data, a whale holding about 48,000 $ZEC short positions has recently concentrated on closing these positions, with estimated cumulative losses exceeding $45 million. During the closing process, concentrated buying created a noticeable short squeeze effect, driving ZEC to surge rapidly; as the short positions were mostly cleared, new buying weakened significantly, and the price subsequently pulled back from the highs.
It is worth noting that this address did not simultaneously sell a large amount of ZEC spot holdings, so this short position appears more like a risk hedge against the spot holdings rather than a pure directional bet against ZEC.
📌 Fundamentals: The ZEC NU7 upgrade is still progressing, with the testnet expected to launch on October 6 and the mainnet upgrade targeted for November 5. If the upgrade proceeds as planned, the NU7-related technical improvements could remain a mid-term catalyst for the market.
📊 Current Market: ZEC is currently trading around $1484.69, down 4.44% in 24 hours; the intraday high reached $1680, and the low pulled back to $1478.39. The SUPER TREND indicator is near $1537.89, and the current price has fallen below this trend line, signaling a short-term technical weakening.
From a cycle perspective, ZEC has risen over the past 7 days The strength relationship among BTC, ETH, and XRP today is quite worth studying.
BTC is around 84.2K, retreating from near 87K;
ETH is about 2.67K, cooling down from near 2.8K;
XRP is about 1.50, clearly pulling back from above 1.60.
All three coins are correcting, but the extent is not exactly the same.
At this moment, I’m not in a hurry to see who will rise.
I want to see who stops falling first.
If BTC stabilizes first at 84K,
ETH climbs back above 2.7K,
XRP breaks through 1.53-1.55 again,
then the market might re-enter a strong consolidation phase.
If BTC falls below 84K,
ETH drops below 2.6K,
XRP can’t even hold 1.50,
then short-term we need to guard against further pullbacks.
My prediction:
Whether BTC can reclaim 85K today is more important than "whether it rises or falls today."
If it stands back above 85K, market sentiment will be much more comfortable;
if it stays below 85K, it will remain in consolidation.
The current market situation is like the boss sending a message:
"Meeting this afternoon."
No one knows if it means a bonus or overtime. 😂The Senate Banking Committee window was once again written into the narrative of prediction market regulation: 11 Democratic senators jointly called for Chairman Tim Scott to hold a public hearing on the prediction market, with reports from the Republican side meeting privately with CEO Kalshi. In the same jurisdictional tug-of-war, some interpreted this as "once it scales up, there must be a public inquiry"—Pew wrote that Kalshi and Polymarket combined monthly turnover in July at about $53 billion, nearly double the roughly $26 billion in May; others reminded that the letter is still just a request, not a scheduled hearing, and certainly not that the SEC/CFTC has clarified who controls company performance-related contracts. The headline will revolve around "private roundtable vs. public hearing," but the headline ≠ the rules are implemented. Buzz ≠ deal path. It may just be a procedural battle being amplified, and it's still uncertain whether the next window will actually be held publicly. First, note the '11 Democratic Party members, Kalshi, public hearing requirements.' If there are later formal scheduling or named regulatory guidelines, it will be more reassuring to compare with this window.BTC, ETH, and XRP all dropped together today, and there's one data point that can't be ignored:
The yield on the US 10-year Treasury has risen to its highest level since 2007, and the market is simultaneously repricing the likelihood of further rate hikes.
So today's pullback shouldn't be seen as just a crypto-only event.
BTC around 84.2K:
First watch 84K; if it breaks, then look at 82K-83K.
ETH around 2.67K:
The area near 2.6K is an important short-term observation zone.
XRP around 1.50:
If 1.50 doesn't hold, the previous rapid upward structure will continue to cool down.
My judgment is:
Before macro pressure disappears, BTC won't easily break through 87K directly.
But as long as there is clear support around 84K,
there is still a chance to retake 87K later.
So the most important thing now is not to shout long or short.
It's to see whether real money is actually coming in.
Many talk bullish,
but when the candlestick drops, wallets run faster than anyone. 😂Have you noticed?
There is an interesting contrast with BTC, ETH, and XRP right now:
Prices are pulling back, but ETF funds have clearly entered earlier.
Previously, BTC spot ETFs had a single-day net inflow of about $999 million, and ETH ETFs also recorded an inflow of about $270 million.
Currently, BTC is around 84.2K,
ETH around 2.67K,
XRP around 1.50.
So what I want to observe more is:
Whether BTC finds support near 84K;
Whether ETH can reclaim 2.7K;
Whether XRP can recover the 1.53-1.55 range.
If BTC stabilizes first, ETH strengthens again, and XRP starts increasing volume,
then it indicates this pullback might just be funds rotating.
Conversely, if BTC breaks below 84K, and ETH and XRP simultaneously increase volume and drop sharply,
then don’t make up stories for the bearish candle.
The market won’t be healthy just because you call it a “healthy pullback.” 😂Costco's Q4 earnings report will be released after the U.S. stock market closes, with the market expecting revenue of about $94.9 billion and earnings per share around $6.53. The data isn't bad, but the problem is that the stock is currently trading at about 45 times the P/E ratio, so "not bad" may be far from enough.
Today, I am more focused on the management's wording after the earnings report. Are consumers starting to shift from non-essential goods to food and daily necessities? Has the growth in e-commerce and delivery come at the expense of profits? Can the new warehouse expansions maintain the past efficiency of opening one, stabilizing one, and continuing to increase renewal rates? These details are more indicative of the growth quality over the next two years than single-quarter sales.
Costco's greatest strength is making consumers feel like they are getting a bargain while allowing shareholders to make money in the long term. But a high valuation turns this excellence into pressure: if performance meets expectations, the stock price might be unimpressed; if it slows down even slightly, the market will recalculate the premium it is willing to pay.
I really like this business, but I dare not ignore the price. The company deserves long-term respect, but whether the stock is worth chasing at this moment is a completely different question.
#财报观察员：好市多Q4财报即将公布 The US and Iran talked for three hours, which is certainly better than firing at each other. But interpreting this meeting directly as "the situation is about to ease" is still too hasty.
The US side called the meeting productive and even hinted at a next round soon; Iran, however, emphasized afterward that the negotiations only reiterated existing conditions and did not represent a softening of their stance. Tehran demands lifting the port blockade, releasing frozen assets, and in exchange, reopening the Strait of Hormuz. The willingness of both sides to sit down shows that the cost of war has become too high to ignore, but there is still a long way to go before exchanging chips.
I believe the most positive signal from this meeting is not how long it lasted, but that direct communication channels have been reestablished. The market fears misjudgments the most, and having a hotline can reduce the chance of sudden escalation. However, for oil prices to truly shed the war premium, we still need to see shipping resume, insurance fees fall, and blockade measures ease.
Three hours can buy a little breathing room, but not peace. The real breakthrough must happen at the ports, assets, and shipping lanes, not in adjectives.
#美伊3小时会谈释放积极信号？ BTC has reclaimed $87,000, but this time what’s truly worth watching isn’t the $3 trillion total market cap, but the fact that ETF funds are changing chip ownership.
On September 21, the US spot BTC ETF saw a single-day net inflow close to $1 billion; since August 19, cumulative inflows have reached about $4.6 billion, finally bringing the year’s once-negative fund balance back to positive. This change means the rebound isn’t just short squeeze in the futures market, but real money is buying on the spot side.
However, ETF funds have a characteristic: they often confirm trends but rarely create them. Price rises, media hype, and increased net subscriptions easily form a positive feedback loop; once the market stalls, funds can quickly cool off.
So I’m not just watching whether BTC can reach $90,000 now, but more focused on whether there is sustained buying on the pullback. A truly healthy market isn’t one where $1 billion flows in a day and the whole network goes wild, but one where after the hype fades, institutions are still willing to buy week after week. The former creates fireworks; the latter changes the market bottom.
#BTC冲高$87000，加密总市值重返3万亿 The bull market seems to have been declared over today, the speed of narrative reversal is really quite funny.
My #BTC long positions are still on, and the long position at 62.6k is still there.
I won't sell anything before the price breaks above 126K.
The short positions remain around the 90s.
I'm not here to profit from small 3–5% fluctuations.$SOL BTC, ETH, XRP, SOL — today, I'm actually most focused on SOL.
BTC has pulled back from around 87K to 84K-85K;
ETH has returned to around 2.6K;
XRP quickly retreated from above 1.60;
But SOL, which rose more than 20% last week, is still around $120.
This indicates one thing:
Although the market is correcting, funds have not completely abandoned high-volatility assets.
Here's how I see it going forward:
BTC: Can it hold 84K?
ETH: Can it stop falling at 2.55K?
XRP: Can it reclaim 1.50?
SOL: Can it stabilize again at $120?
If BTC stops falling and SOL shows renewed volume,
then I'll start watching if funds are spreading back into altcoins.
If BTC keeps falling but SOL is still holding strong...
Then I can only say:
This guy really has his own ideas. 😂This setup came from a clear combination of daily moving-average weakness + declining volume. 📉 Short entry: 0.10118 🎯 Main target: 0.09406 ⚡ 40x leverage pushed the unrealized return to around +280% as DOGE dropped roughly 7% from the entry zone. The move was clean, but this is where traders can become overconfident. Around 0.0940–0.0945, DOGE is approaching a previous high-volume trading area. If buyers defend that zone, a sharp relief bounce could quickly squeeze late shorts. Risk managemenMain Capital
The total 24-hour market turnover is 2.57B USD, with BTC alone accounting for 28.1%, indicating that funds are still clustering in major coins for risk aversion.
The top 5 gainers' combined turnover is 37.80M USD, accounting for 1.5% of the total market, clearly showing the proportion of smart money in offensive positions.
The top 5 losers' combined turnover is 12.87M USD, accounting for 0.5% of the total market, with selling pressure concentrated in a few coins, not a full-scale sell-off.
Top 3 smart money buys: $LAT turnover 1.58M USD +10.47%, $RAY turnover 6.80M USD +10.34%, $ZRO turnover 5.90M USD +10.14%.

Signal: Offensive turnover is more than 1.3 times defensive turnover, with smart money actively buying, not retail investors blindly trading.
Opinion: Capital speaks most honestly; follow the direction of turnover, don’t imagine the market yourself.
Data comes from OKX public spot market data, for informational purposes only, not investment advice.
Brother X has finished explaining, think it over yourself. BTC, ETH, XRP, and SOL all pulled back together today, and this is actually the best time to see who is truly strong.
BTC is now around 84.5K, having failed to hold above 87K earlier; in the short term, watch for support between 84K-85K;
ETH has returned to around 2.57K, with 2.5K-2.55K being the key area I will focus on next;
XRP is back near 1.43, having just surged past 1.60 before, now the pullback is noticeably faster;
SOL is quite interesting, having risen over 20% last week, now around $119, whether it can hold above $120 is very critical.
My judgment:
If BTC holds 84K, there is still a chance to challenge 87K again;
If BTC breaks below 84K, it may continue to seek support around 82K-83K in the short term.
If BTC stabilizes and SOL leads with renewed volume, the market might start a second rotation.
What we fear most now is not a drop.
What we fear most is all four grinding sideways together.
That kind of market makes you feel like you've worked 8 hours after watching the chart for 5 minutes. 😂The Fed's "hawkish tone" resurfaces, BTC first looks at breaking support
In recent days, Federal Reserve officials have been intensively releasing hawkish signals. The federal funds rate has recently been raised to 3.75%—4.00%, and in the latest forecasts, most officials still expect further rate hikes within the year. Officials like Barr, Collins, and Musalem also emphasize that inflation pressure remains a key focus.
For the crypto market, the transmission chain of interest rate expectations → US Treasury yields → US dollar liquidity → Risk-on asset valuations is worth continuous attention.
With a tightening macro environment, the risk appetite for BTC and ETH will naturally be suppressed.
But a bearish bias does not mean blindly shorting now.
After just closing long positions, I prefer to wait for signals from the market:
Key support breaks → volume confirmation → then consider following the trend.
Before the break, watch out for false breakdowns and short squeeze rebounds.
Don't guess the top, don't rush, wait for confirmation.
The hardest part of the market has never been about seeing the direction,
but about timing correctly within the right direction.

#交易之声：你的经验值得被听到 【BTC 84,241｜87K Failed to Hold, Starting to Look for Support】
BTC has surged from around 80K to above 87K, and now has returned to around 84K. The momentum has shifted from "breakout acceleration" to "high-level digestion." However, the capital flow has not completely weakened—U.S. spot BTC ETF still recorded a net inflow of about $999 million on Monday, marking the largest single-day inflow in nearly 11 months.
The short-term focus is now on 83.5K–84K. If it can stop falling here and reclaim 85K, there is still a chance to retest 86K–87K; if 83.5K is effectively broken, then further pullback toward around 82K should be guarded against.
In contracts, the biggest risk this wave is the concentrated stop-loss of long positions at high levels. Around 84K, look for support first; do not assume the correction is over just because the previous rise was strong. $BTC
This is only a market opinion and does not constitute investment advice. 9/24 | Day 20 of the 220K → 10M challenge Today's total position value is around 251,000, leaving roughly 31,000 above the starting capital. Yesterday's rally had me seriously considering adding to the DOGE position. The breakout looked convincing, and that familiar feeling of “maybe I should buy more” started creeping in. Then DOGE changed the story. In barely 24 hours, the position's profit went from around 21% to only 9%. That's the market. A breakout above resistance doesn't automatically meAnalyzing again, BTC, ETH, XRP — today, the most eye-catching might actually not be BTC.
BTC surged high then started to fall back;
ETH hovered repeatedly above 2700;
XRP once broke through $1.60, with volatility clearly greater than BTC.
This is quite interesting.
In a bull market, funds don’t always just hold BTC.
Usually:
BTC opens the door first,
ETH follows,
then funds start looking everywhere for the “next story to tell.”
So next, I will watch for:
BTC breaking through 87K again,
ETH reclaiming 2800,
XRP breaking out above 1.60 with increased volume.
If all three signals appear together,
the market sentiment might heat up again.
But if BTC can’t hold steady,
altcoins fly first...
I usually don’t call that a bull market.
I call it:
Someone’s been drinking too much again. 😂September 24 | 220K → 10M challenge Current position value: approximately 247,500 Estimated profit above principal: around 27,500 Yesterday's DOGE breakout was strong enough to make me think about increasing the position. Today, that confidence disappeared. The position's unrealized gain has fallen from roughly 19% to 7% in a single day. This is exactly why trend trading requires patience. DOGE did break the previous resistance, but the follow-through hasn't been convincing enough yet. At this sTo sum up, BTC, ETH, and XRP all pulled back together, but what’s most worth watching today isn’t how much they fell.
BTC surged to 87K but couldn’t hold, indicating selling pressure above remains;
ETH returned near 2700, cooling off the catch-up rally logic for now;
XRP retraced faster, showing clearly more sensitive short-term sentiment.
But there’s an interesting detail:
The day before, BTC ETF net inflows nearly hit $1 billion in a single day.
So it looks more like:
Prices are catching their breath,
Funds haven’t fully exited yet.
I’ll be watching BTC at 85K.
If it holds, keep an eye on 87K;
If it breaks out above 87K with volume again, then look toward 89K-90K.
If 85K breaks, don’t force it into a “healthy correction.”
Sometimes a pullback is just a pullback,
Not every red candle is a shakeout. 😂Today's Weibo trending topic isn't very crypto-friendly, but there's plenty of info on tech and finance—let's pick a few to discuss.

Commentary: Just for fun, but you can see the general anxiety among young people about "only by competing to get a way out." This sentiment is similar to crypto retail investors wanting to get rich overnightHere's a conspiracy theory:
The official pons drastically lowered the burn rate of $PONS, which might be closely related to the Robinhood HOOD Summit happening in 5 days.
At the current burn pace, about 120,000 U worth is burned per day, totaling 600,000 U in 5 days; the buyback allocator currently holds 1,250,000 U, so after 5 days, only 500,000-600,000 U will remain for buybacks, meaning it's time to replenish buyback funds as usual;
How much can be replenished for buybacks at this time? Based on the current protocol income level of pons, about 400,000 U per day, totaling 2,000,000 U in 5 days; plus the 840,000 U in the escrow account yet to be claimed, meaning the funds that can be added to the buyback allocator for PONS buybacks can reach 2,840,000 * 80% = 2,272,000 U.
At this point, combined with the Robinhood Summit's positive news to significantly increase the burn rate, it will be another textbook market-making move.220,000 → 10,000,000 Challenge | Day 20 Today's account position stands near 256,000, approximately 36,000 above the original capital. After yesterday's strong DOGE move, I was seriously tempted to increase the position. The chart looked like it was finally breaking out. But one day later, the market gave me a completely different lesson. Profit dropped from around 22% to 10%. No dramatic reaction this time. DOGE has technically pushed through the old resistance, but the current price action stiTomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Here, I wish everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival in advance, and remember to spend more time with your family during the holiday. I'll also take a day off tomorrow. I'll update the market updates next Monday. Last night, the market suddenly retreated, and the market resumed trading on uncertainty about the Middle East situation. Although the US and Iran communicated for several hours, no substantial breakthrough was made so far, and the Strait of Hormuz issue remained unresolved. Market sentiment was affected, and while the market pulled back, a batch of bulls was also liquidated, with many altcoins seeing even more pronounced declines. However, I think this correction may not be entirely a bad thing. Previously, BTC quickly rose from over 70,000 to over 80,000, with a fast rise and a lot of bullish positions accumulating below. If it keeps rising without a correction, it could leave even greater risks later, and many who missed out earlier and didn't dare to chase the high prices won't have good entry positions. Therefore, a moderate pullback to clear some leveraged long positions will actually help the market stabilize later. Currently, my overall market outlook remains bullish. Although BTC has fallen below 85,000 again, it is not yet time to rush to judge that a bottom has been established, as there is no clear strong support in the short term. Today, I think the market will most likely remain volatile. Next, the main focus is on two scenarios: first, after a pullback, it gradually stabilizes and forms new support, then looks for opportunities to enter the market in batches with long and spot positions; Second, if it cannot hold on, it will drop again, triggering a "painted gate" rally to clear out the recent bullish chase. So there is no need for this stageBTC, ETH, and XRP are all pulling back today, but the biggest variable might not be on the K-line at all.
The meeting between Trump and Xi Jinping today is becoming the market focus, and traders are adjusting their positions in advance.
So today I will be paying special attention to three reactions:
BTC: Can it reclaim 87K;
ETH: Can it stand back above 2800;
XRP: Can it break through 1.60 again.
If after the news, all three coins surge with volume, it means the market is willing to give positive feedback to the macro news.
If it spikes and then immediately dives...
That means the market has already written the script in advance.
The most awkward thing in crypto:
You’re ready to see good news,
But the market has already seen it ahead of time. 😂This time Green Hair didn't mess up, well done, Teacher Green.
That Ethereum $ETH trade, 75x isolated margin, entered at 2782, exited at 2661. Twenty ETH, 2380U, 320%.
The BTC $BTC trade was even stronger, 100x isolated margin, from 87124 down to 84161, two BTC, 5843U, 335%. Together over eight thousand U, not a single cent lost.
While others were nervous watching BTC drop from 87,000 to 84,000, he was counting money.
The most remarkable thing isn’t just making that 8,000U, it’s that he changed as a person.
The old Green Hair who stubbornly held onto altcoins, kept adding as prices fell, and was still watching the market at 3 AM.
This time he didn’t say a word, shorted at the high, took profits enough, no hesitation at all.
Green Hair is good this time, going straight to KTV to chill tonight
#BTC冲高$87000，加密总市值重返3万亿
#美伊3小时会谈释放积极信号？
#财报观察员：好市多Q4财报即将公布 There is an interesting contrast with BTC, ETH, and XRP right now:
Prices are pulling back, but funds have not fully withdrawn.
Recently, BTC spot ETFs recorded nearly $1 billion in net inflows in a single day, and ETH ETFs also saw significant capital inflows.
So what’s really worth watching now isn’t "how many points it has dropped."
Instead, it’s:
Whether BTC finds support around 84K-85K;
Whether ETH can hold 2700;
Whether funds re-enter after XRP returns to around 1.50.
If prices fall but funds continue to flow in, this kind of pullback is actually worth observing.
Of course, if funds also start to exit together...
Then it’s not just a shakeout,
It’s like everyone suddenly remembers they have work to do. 😂In the past 24 hours, the main theme of the crypto market has shifted again: US Treasury yields have surged, and risk appetite has just resumed, hitting the brakes again. BTC has fallen from above $86,000 back to $84,000, ETH and SOL have adjusted in parallel, and altcoins have fallen even harder. Meanwhile, long liquidations have increased significantly. Currently, the market is better defined as: defense and deleveraging under macro pressure, rather than a confirmed trend reversal. 📉 BTC loses $85,000, altcoins fall even harder As of 09:16 HKT: BTC $84,260, 24h -2.78% ETH $2,682.29, 24h -3.18% SOL $115.27, 24h -3.18% Total crypto market cap: approx. $2.874 trillion, 24h -5.26% BTC market share: 58.79% Fear and Greed Index: 71 — Greed The previous value was also 71. The most noteworthy point here is that total market cap decline is significantly greater than BTC's. BTC fell less than 3%, while the overall market dropped more than 5%, indicating that this round of pressure is mainly concentrated on altcoins and high-beta assets. UNI fell 13.81% in the past 24 hours, while the strongest performer, TRX, was only +0.07%. In other words, today it's almost not about "who rose the most," but who fell less. BTC's market share continued to rise to 58.79%, indicating that funds are moving away from high-risk altcoins to BTThe yields on the US 10-year and 30-year Treasury bonds have both surpassed 5%, meaning the market can obtain a risk-free annualized return of 5%. Given this, why would funds still want to buy stocks or Bitcoin and other risky assets?
This is a question worth pondering. A 5% risk-free return is quite high and very comfortable for large investors. Buying stocks or Bitcoin involves too much volatility and requires careful timing for entry and exit. You not only need to know how to buy but also how to sell, which is much harder than buying Treasury bonds.
If I were the owner of large funds, with the current US stock market indices like the Nasdaq at historical highs and certainly not in a low range, I definitely wouldn’t buy more US stocks. Instead, I would cash out and enjoy the steady 5% yield from Treasury bonds. I would patiently wait for a correction or even a crash in the US stock market and Bitcoin.One message says that BTC, ETH, and XRP are currently the most worth watching, not because they rise the most, but because they are the first to show "anomalies".
BTC is still the market's steering wheel;
ETH is looking for new support after an early breakout;
XRP has shown significantly greater recent volatility, making it easier to become an amplifier of sentiment. (Reuters)
My market observations:
BTC has climbed back above 86K, which will clearly improve sentiment;
ETH has stabilized above 2800, increasing expectations for a catch-up rally;
If XRP sees renewed volume, it could become an emotional outlet for short-term funds.
Conversely, if BTC falls below 84.5K while ETH and XRP continue to widen their declines, then don’t expect a second takeoff just yet.
True strength is not shouting "it can still rise" after a drop.
It’s when funds are still willing to buy after the fall.
Right now, I’m watching these three signals closely. BTC, ETH, and XRP are all falling today, but I think what’s really worth watching isn’t the candlestick charts, but tonight’s macro news.
Today the market is focused on news related to the meeting between Trump and Xi Jinping. Recent reports also mention that traders have already started adjusting their positions around this event. (24/7 Wall St.)
What’s the biggest fear at times like this?
Not bad news.
It’s the market having already priced in the good news in advance, and then when the news lands, suddenly:
“Oh, that’s it?”
So I’ll be watching three reactions:
BTC: support at 84.5K;
ETH: around 2700;
XRP: around $1.55.
If after the news all three coins simultaneously surge with volume, it means the funds approve.
If they spike and then quickly fall back, be cautious of a “good news sell-off.”
The most classic saying in crypto:
Before the news, it’s expectation,
After the news, it’s a test. 😂BTC, ETH, and XRP are like three colleagues now:
BTC is responsible for pushing performance,
ETH is responsible for waiting for notifications,
XRP is responsible for suddenly resigning and then coming back.
A few days ago, after BTC surged above 87K, market sentiment clearly warmed up; but now all three coins have fallen back simultaneously, indicating that short-term funds are starting to look for direction again. (Benzinga)
Instead, I would observe one detail:
If BTC holds steady,
ETH starts to narrow its decline,
XRP leads with a volume rebound,
this might mean funds are beginning to rotate from BTC to large-cap altcoins.
Conversely, if BTC continues to fall and ETH and XRP fall even faster, it means risk appetite has not yet returned.
So don’t rush to ask “Can it still rise?”
First, see who stops falling first. BTC, ETH, and XRP all pulled back today, which is actually more worth watching than them surging together.
BTC has fallen from its high but hasn't yet broken the previous rebound structure;
ETH's drop is slightly larger, indicating that the appetite for chasing gains is cooling down;
XRP's retracement is more obvious, showing that short-term sentiment is clearly more fragile than BTC.
My observation is simple:
BTC is first looking at support around 84.5K;
ETH is watching if it can hold around 2700;
XRP needs to be watched around $1.55.
If all three coins can stop falling at these levels, it might just be a normal consolidation after the rise.
But if BTC can't even hold 84.5K, then don't be stubborn.
The market won't give you face just because you were bullish earlier. 😂#BTC
🚨 The price was resisted and pulled back at $88K, but this doesn't necessarily mean it will continue to fall.
If you list $87K → $82K → $71K → $68K → $63K as a roadmap, a drop would be a confirmation, and if it doesn't drop, it means "it's not time yet."
This kind of reasoning is hard to falsify and also difficult to truly guide trading.
It's fine to be bearish, but be clear: past judgment records do not guarantee accuracy next time.$BTC / $ZEC / $DOGE What’s the outlook? Reviewing this week’s trend to gauge the upcoming market rhythm
After tracking for several consecutive days, the market overall has formed a classic pattern of "bad news priced in → short squeeze → rally and pullback." Let’s discuss each coin’s outlook.
BTC — Stage high point reached, short-term support at 85000 is key
This week Bitcoin surged from 75000 to 87300, a 29% increase over 35 days, but after peaking on the 23rd it pulled back to 85600, down 0.86% intraday. Key signals:
Spot ETFs saw nearly $1 billion net inflow on the 21st, showing strong capital inflow, but profit-taking pressure is building after continuous rallies
The "US Reserve Modernization Act" passed committee and SEC introduced tokenized stock exemptions, clear mid-to-long-term policy benefits
Technically, BTC is above the 50-day and 200-week moving averages, maintaining a bullish structure, but there is significant selling pressure above 87000
Fear & Greed Index at 78 (extreme greed), historically a zone prone to short-term pullbacks
Assessment: Short-term support at 85000 is critical; holding it maintains a high-level consolidation, breaking below may test 82000-84000 range. The 90000 level is a mid-term target but requires new capital catalysts.
ZEC — This round’s strongest dark horse, but caution advised on chasing highs
Zcash performed extremely well this week: rising from 1369 to 1616, a 10% single-day gain on the 23rd, leading all major tokens. Drivers are clear:
Expectations for Zcash spot ETF listing continue to ferment, with institutional capital positioning early
Privacy narrative returns, combined with tokenization policy benefits
From 1369 to 1616, nearly 18% gain in a few days, with many short-term profit takers
Assessment: Fundamentals supported by ETF expectations, mid-term outlook positive. But short-term gains are rapid; chasing highs is not recommended. Waiting for a pullback near 1500 before entering is safer.
DOGE — Following the broader market’s consolidation, watch if it can hold above $0.1
Dogecoin was at $0.099 on the 23rd, up 4% intraday, just shy of the $0.1 psychological level. Observations:
DOGE’s movement largely follows BTC, with few independent trends
$0.1 is a psychological barrier; breaking and holding above it could open upside space
Elon Musk recently commented on DOGE inflation rate on X platform as "a feature, not a bug," community activity remains high
Assessment: Short-term focus on whether $0.1 can be effectively broken. If BTC holds above 85000, DOGE likely breaks $0.1 and tests higher levels; if BTC pulls back, DOGE may retreat to around $0.09.
Summary in one sentence:
Mid-term trend unchanged, regulatory benefits plus ETF capital inflows are core supports. But after consecutive sharp rises, the market needs to digest profits; chasing highs in extreme greed zones carries high risk. Strategy: Hold existing positions calmly, wait for pullbacks to enter if currently out, ZEC’s pullback to 1500 is a good entry point.
The above is personal market analysis and does not constitute investment advice Why are people in the crypto circle so focused on Costco's rotisserie chicken?
Costco is releasing its earnings report tonight, and the crypto community is even more anxious than the retail sector.
It neither stocks Bitcoin nor accepts cryptocurrency payments. But its earnings report hides a key answer: whether Americans' wallets are still full or not.
Good sales of rotisserie chicken and heavy stocking of toilet paper indicate that consumption is still holding up. If consumption holds, inflation won't drop, and the Federal Reserve won't dare to cut interest rates easily. The crypto circle, which relies on liquidity, will have to keep enduring.
Conversely, if the earnings report shows consumption cooling and Americans starting to tighten their wallets, expectations for rate cuts will rise. Once the market starts betting on easing, Bitcoin usually rallies first as a sign of respect.
So, what the crypto circle is watching isn't how many rotisserie chickens Costco sold, but using the chicken sales to gauge the temperature of American consumption and whether the Fed's liquidity tap will loosen.
Tonight's earnings report is not just retail data; it's a weather forecast for risk assets.$BTC last night was not a pullback, it was liquidation.
Out of 476 perpetual contracts, 284 dropped more than 3%, 201 dropped more than 5%, and 35 dropped more than 10%. BTC closed at 84,258 (-2.74%).
More important than price is the funding rate: settlement at 00:00 was 0.0095%, by 08:00 it was only 0.0005%. The longs were either liquidated or exited overnight;
Forced liquidations switched sides again: in a sample of 100 ETH trades, shorts were liquidated for 2.13 million U, longs only 5 U, and the sample only spans 3 hours — those liquidated were the ones "shorting after the drop."
Three opportunities today (all with conditions): UNI spike recovery (9.034 must hold, funding rate 0.0003%, no crowding) | Sentiment divergence (F&G 71 not following the drop, condition BTC closes back above 85,798) | Three with volume still rising: CAP +12.91%, ZRO +11.19%, RAY +9.25% (only considering turnover ≥10M).
Three traps today:
① Do not add positions before 20:30 — six Fed officials speak today, along with initial jobless claims + Q2 current account
② Don’t treat a -58% drop like a discount for ONE, that’s the tail end of a liquidation spiral
③ Don’t chase yesterday’s spike highs (UNI longs chasing were liquidated for 388,000 U).
I’m not taking action. Watching BTC at 83,500 and 85,798. ZEC fell back from 1680 to 1510, how to trade this position
First, look at the structure
Current price 1510.38, 24-hour high 1680, low 1478.39
Yesterday a big bearish candle smashed down, daily close at 1511, down 2.72%
60 bars range from 1086 to 1680, which means about a quarter of the entire rally has been given back
4-hour close at 1510, high 1520, low 1498, volume 4559
Daily volume 23549, the drop mainly at the daily level
Funding rate 0.0100% near the upper limit, longs are still paying fees, leverage not fully cleared
Support and resistance
4-hour support at 1504 and 1507, resistance at 1520 and 1523
Daily support at 1478 and 1496, resistance at 1523 and 1535
So my judgment is, this is not a reversal, but a pullback after a sharp rise, yet leverage hasn't been cleared
1478 is the key level for this pullback; breaking it opens the way below 1496
Only reclaiming 1535 counts as regaining the initiative
Strategy
Light long position around 1510, about 10%, stop loss below 1478, target 1535
Risk-reward ratio about 1:2.5, cut losses immediately if broken, don't hold on
$BTC $ZEC #ZECAfter the Nasdaq hit a new high, it pulled back and hasn't recovered yet. However, the Korean market is closed today, and I'm still watching for its opening. SK Hynix $SKHYNIX might take a dive. I'll see if it can break the 1326 level down to around 1300, which would be a good take-profit point for short positions and a solid structure. Recently, I've been focusing on long-term positions with short-term trades, so I don't set take-profit targets too high.
The earlier drop hasn't surpassed the previous high yet. Most long positions are in the second wave of correction, the final rebound phase. If this rebound phase completes, the structure will be confirmed.
Still need to watch short positions more.
For long positions, the key is that the market has stabilized and the direction isn't too volatile.
#纳斯达克指数连续两日创历史新高 What is a segment three-sell? Figure 2 shows a segment three-sell. A normal three-sell has a standard entry segment and an exit segment as the pivot, whereas a segment three-sell does not have an entry segment pivot; it just treats the first three segments as the pivot.Good morning, yesterday the price first surged and then pulled back, which overall still met our expectations. The slight shortcoming was that the price started to decline around 87200. I personally expect there might be a downside risk near 87500, as a false breakout above the previous high could trigger stop-loss sweeps and profit-taking by bulls. This is the most common pattern during a continuous uptrend. However, this year, when testing resistance, it more often forms a secondary high followed by a stealthy exit, adding an extra layer of uncertainty to trading.
If you short on a false breakout above the previous high, the stop-loss only needs to be set just above the breakout, making risk easier to control. If you short directly near resistance, you face stop-loss hunting triggered by breakout highs. If the price falsely breaks down and you choose to enter again, this is a common stop-loss hunting tactic. The problem is whether you can decisively cut losses after a breakout; if not, you may face severe losses from a strong rally. These represent two different trading mindsets: one is confident and informed, the other is a tentative attempt from the left side.
The daily chart shows an initial pullback after the first rise, which is indeed a sign of stagnation, but it does not mean the price has fully turned bearish. After multiple preparations, the price broke through 83000, which is a key resistance and now has turned into key support. Therefore, above this level, bulls still dominate unless the price falls back completely, which would trigger a monthly-level correction expected in October. So for now, the outlook remains bullish above this support.
Currently, the price is in the 50-61.8% retracement zone after a high rebound, where a significant pullback is possible. But as long as it does not break below 83000, the overall trend remains relatively strong. The first retest has occurred; a second confirmation would be better for shorting at high levels. Today’s short-term oscillation is somewhat weak; in the morning, watch for a short-term pullback mainly reacting around 83000. If there is a quick rebound or a wick after testing here, you can enter long; otherwise, wait and see.
In summary, although the price has risen strongly, it has now reached a key selling zone with downside risk. On the weekly chart, the upper band and the monthly mid-band show selling pressure from bulls. Therefore, at high levels, only intraday long positions are advisable, with no trend-following long opportunities. However, from the daily perspective, the price remains relatively strong above 83000. Intraday focus should be on support near 83000 for short-term longs, with a stop-loss at 82000 and targets between 85000-87500.
