Do you know what the most dangerous bulls are?
They are those who have already made enough profit.
ZEC whale Garrett Jin, with a cost basis of $437, holds 202,000 spot coins, with unrealized gains of over 200 million.
But a few days ago, he did something very interesting—he closed all the short positions he had held for three months, taking a $36 million loss and exiting.
Think about it, a person holding only low-cost chips, who previously used shorts as insurance, now has removed that insurance and is in a naked long position.
What does this mean? It means he can start selling at any time.
Coincidentally, Grayscale's ZEC ETF is about to do a 3-for-1 stock split,
effective September 30. The split does not change the net asset value; it just lowers the unit price, making retail investors feel it’s "cheaper" and encouraging them to enter the market.
Combined with the whale’s naked long position, the timing is just perfect.
The market has risen like this, yet ZEC hasn’t even touched its previous high.
I’m still holding my short at 1486, with an unrealized loss of 23%,
but the fact that the whale removed his insurance is more concrete than any indicator.

Review: $UNI started at 6.8 and squeezed up to 9.5. I waited for a breakout confirmation at 8.62 before taking action, not blindly bottom-fishing at the lowest point.
With 50x leverage, I controlled my position size and set a stop-loss line; I reduced my position as unrealized profits retraced.
Outlook: 9.44 is a key resistance level repeatedly tested since August. Holding above it targets 10, while falling below 8.5 signals structural weakness.

The cobbler was nailing the shoes while saying,
he bought some crypto and held onto it.
Better than keeping money in the bank.
I just smiled and didn’t respond.
When I got home, I still downloaded the app.
$BTC was too expensive.
I stared at it for a long time but didn’t dare to click.
Later, I bought some $ETH.
Right after buying, I regretted it.
When it went up, I thought it was too little.
When it dropped, I thought it was too much.
During that time, I couldn’t put my phone down.
Even while eating, I was checking the market.
Then someone in the group shouted $SOL.
I couldn’t resist and followed.
Once in, it just sideways traded.
Sideways enough to make me want to scratch the walls.
I cut losses and it surged up.

After months of tossing and turning,
I didn’t make money,

Now I’ve figured it out.
It’s not that you can’t touch this stuff,
but don’t use money you urgently need.
Don’t borrow money.
Don’t use leverage.
Don’t throw your rent money in.
Now I only put in a little bit.
If I lose, it doesn’t affect my meals.
If I win, I’ll treat myself to a chicken leg.
I’m not jealous when others show off profits.
I don’t laugh when others get liquidated.

#财报观察员：好市多Q4财报即将公布
#AMD市值突破1万亿美元，芯片股集体大涨 It's not that $MINA is that strong, but hot money is flooding into L1. Entered at 0.12974, benefiting from sector rotation dividends.
Background: Recently, funds have flowed from BTC to high-volatility altcoins. MINA has been categorized into the L1 narrative and is rising in sync with SOL and AVAX.
Logic: Social communication amplified momentum, and trading volume surged. I followed the capital flow and went long at 0.12974.
Outlook: The rotation market cools down very quickly; 0.135-0.145 is a dense trading zone, ready to take profits at any time.
$ETH $ONE #BTC冲高$87000，加密总市值重返3万亿 Summary of the Fundamental Reasons Behind MINA's Strong Consecutive Rise + Analysis of Value Returning to 10U
✅1. Fundamental Reasons for MINA's Continuous Strength
1. Unique Recursive ZK Underlying Technology, Main Narrative of the ZK Sector Bull Market
MINA is the world's only recursive zk-SNARK lightweight public chain, with the entire chain permanently maintaining about 22KB in size, which does not expand with transaction growth. Mobile phones and light nodes can complete full network verification. zkApps privacy applications can realize on-chain identity, credential verification, and RWA privacy verification, fitting the core ZK privacy and RWA sectors of this bull market. The technology is differentiated and scarce, and capital is willing to give a valuation premium.
2. Major Technical Implementation of Mesa Hard Fork, Filling Ecological Shortcomings
The Mesa upgrade is a milestone hard fork for MINA: block time is shortened from 180 seconds to 90 seconds, the on-chain state limit for zkApps and single transaction event capacity are greatly increased, supporting more complex privacy contracts; at the same time, a new automated hard fork mechanism is added, reducing subsequent iteration costs and significantly lowering the threshold for developers to build zkApps. This moves from a technical concept to practical applications and is a core fundamental catalyst for this market rally.
3. High Staking Lock-up, Low Circulating Float, Friendly Chip Structure
MINA uses PoS consensus, with staking ratio maintained above 70% long-term. A large number of tokens are locked for block production and SNARK proofs, reducing market tradable floating chips and suppressing selling pressure. In the bull market ZK sector, capital rotation means small-cap projects do not require huge funds, making it easier to achieve continuous counter-trend rises.
4. Bull Market Capital Rotation, Market Expectations Repricing
After BTC and ETH open the bull market large-cap space, capital rotates to quality small-cap projects in the ZK sector. MINA is a veteran in the ZK sector, having continuously refined its technology during the bear market. With the bull market arrival, the market begins to price in the long-term expectation of large-scale zkApp deployment in advance.
✅2. Conditions Analysis for Value Returning to 10U
MINA's historical high is about 9.09U; 10U is a historical new high level. To challenge 10U, all the following conditions must be met:
Bullish Support Conditions
1. Large-scale Deployment of zkApp Ecosystem
A large number of developers join, on-chain privacy identity, RWA credentials, and DeFi privacy applications continue to launch, on-chain activity and protocol fees keep growing, no longer just a technical concept but generating real and sustained network revenue, supporting valuation uplift.
2. Bull Market Large-cap Remains Strong, ZK Sector Heat Maintained
BTC maintains a bull market upward trend, macro liquidity and regulatory expectations improve, the ZK sector continues to attract institutional capital, with funds continuously flowing into small-cap ZK projects. Once the large-cap market deeply corrects, small coins like MINA will experience a much larger correction than mainstream coins.
3. Staking Lock-up Rate Remains High, New Unlock Selling Pressure Controllable
Token unlocking pace is stable, with no large-scale team/investor token concentrated unlocking and dumping; community and whales continue to maintain high staking, and circulating supply does not increase rapidly.
4. Successful Implementation of Protokit Execution Layer and Decentralized Treasury
Decentralized treasury audit goes live, using treasury funds to continuously incentivize developers; Protokit execution layer supports complex zk applications, forming a complete ecological flywheel.After two weeks of silence, nine hundred and fifty bitcoins fell — this is not a replenishment, but a hard-won initiative seized in the mid-game stalemate.
The most dangerous thing on the chessboard is never the opponent's check, but when you think they are deeply calculating, but in fact, they have already pushed the passed pawn on the flank to the seventh rank. Last week's moves by corporate crypto treasuries represent this kind of positional buildup: Strategy resumed after nearly two weeks of stagnation, buying in nine hundred and fifty coins, pushing total forces to 846,000; Strive added thirteen hundred and fifty-five coins, stacking to 26,355; BitMine quietly added 27,562 ETH to the formation, with the total pot approaching 5,980,000 coins, of which about 5,070,000 are already staked on the board as collateral. Three fronts advance simultaneously, without a word, all moves.
Many people watch the K-line asking me about direction. Direction is never decided by a single move — a single party's buy-in cannot change the course of the game, that's true. But what you need to look at is not this move, but the structure of the pawn chain: when the continuous absorption by corporate treasuries and the inflow of passive funds overlap on the same flank, the circulating chips are locked down square by square. Supply is not bought away, it is "nailed" down. The deadliest thing in a rook and pawn endgame is never the opponent having an extra rook, but your own king being blocked by your own pawns, unable to move.
Note the sequence of this combination punch: first pause, then return. That two-week gap was not hesitation, but letting floating chips come out and reposition themselves, filtering the loosened pawn structure. What you really need to read is the next layer — buying while the price is rising, that is the real test. When pawns advance, the weakest squares behind are always the easiest to expose.
$xASTS and similar US stock tokenized assets are that weak square. The channel of traditional capital and on-chain chips couple here, and once linked, a structural misalignment like "two elephants versus two horses" appears: liquidity tightens simultaneously on both sides, and price spreads oscillate back and forth between two battle lines. Whoever opens a line on the wrong flank first loses half their pieces first.
My judgment is directly calculated on the chessboard: this is not a tactical sacrifice, but a pawn structure advance written into the plan from the layout stage. At the top of my opponent list is the variant "the higher the price rises, the slower the buying"; as long as it does not appear, this pawn chain is still pushing forward. And a true grandmaster does not change the plan because the opponent responds; he only confirms after the opponent's response that his calculation twenty moves ago was correct.
There are no miracles in the endgame, only who first sends the passed pawn to the eighth rank. #CryptoTreasuriesBuy 🚨 After BTC broke through $87,000, what really causes anxiety is not the rise itself, but rather "Should I sell now or not?"
Bitcoin just surpassed $87,000, which should be a reason to celebrate, but the market is becoming increasingly divided.
Some believe this is already a high-level range and suggest taking some profits now and buying back after a pullback; others think that without a clear shakeout to clear out the chasing funds, BTC will find it hard to continue reaching new highs.
What makes it even more frustrating is:
These opinions might come from people you trust deeply, and they have indeed been accurate many times before.
But the problem is—the market never follows anyone’s script just because they were right in the past.
Instead of worrying every day about "Will it drop?" or "Should I sell?", it’s better to return to some simpler market principles.
① A bull market rises amid disagreements.
After the spot BTC ETF was approved at the beginning of 2024, Bitcoin rose from about $25,000 to $48,000.
At that time, many thought this was just a bear market rally because interest rates were still high and rate cut expectations were unclear.
But then the market continued to evolve, with BTC breaking through and reaching about $73,000 in March, and market sentiment quickly shifted from doubt to extreme optimism.
And $73,000 eventually became a temporary peak.
So, it’s not surprising to see bullish and bearish disagreements around $87,000. AI and GameFi narrative small-cap coins go crazy when pumping and get even harsher during the downturn. This surge and pullback of AKE is a typical case of leveraged funds taking profits. While others are still fantasizing about new highs, contrarian positioning is the only way to capture such violent corrections.
From the chart, $AKE plunged sharply after leaving the high zone. Entered short precisely at 0.06215 with 20x leverage; the current mark price is 0.0505, with an unrealized profit of +374.89%.
Facing excessive profits, risk control must be executed ruthlessly. Immediately withdraw the principal and move the stop-loss above the cost basis. Use a trailing stop to protect the remaining position, let the profits run, and keep control firmly in your own hands. $ONE $ZEC #BTC冲高$87000, total crypto market cap rebounds to 3 trillion I once worked on an unfinished project; the blueprints were as beautiful as poetry, but the pile foundation was only driven to the weathered layer before work stopped. Three years later, the entire curtain wall was torn apart by wind loads. The real lesson is never in the renderings, but in the structural calculations.
Now someone has opened a new site and lets newcomers ask any questions, saying there are no stupid questions here. I only half agree with that. On a construction site, the person who asks "Why can't this beam be demolished?" saves the whole building; the one who asks "Why can't the concrete wait another seven days?" can also ruin the entire building. The value of a question doesn't depend on the asker's experience but on whether it points to structure or appearance.
Look at those buildings that have stood straight for thirty years—none of them rely on the facade to win. The foundation is buried underground, no one takes pictures; load-bearing walls are hidden in partitions, no one praises them; expansion joints, shear walls, structural redundancy—all are invisible budgets. On-chain projects are exactly the same. The whitepaper is a proposal drawing, not a construction blueprint; the token model is a rendering, not a structural verification. What truly determines whether it can withstand the next round of wind loads is whether the development team follows the plans, whether the code has third-party supervision, and how many seismic resistance levels the governance structure is designed for.
Regarding that token linked to US stocks, I want to say a cold truth as a structural engineer: attaching a completed steel structure to a completely new geological condition carries the greatest risk not in the upper structure but at the pile foundation junction.
Cash flow is the load-bearing column of the old building; on-chain liquidity is the newly built transfer layer. The transfer layer is the most dangerous part of the entire structure—load paths suddenly change, stiffness abruptly becomes discontinuous, and stress concentrates entirely on a few beams. On the surface, the two buildings joined together look taller and more impressive; secretly, if the reinforcement of the transfer beams is miscalculated even once, the stability of the upper structure is meaningless.
Linkage is not decoration; it is stress transmission. One end is the financial report, the real bearing capacity of the ground; the other end is 24/7 liquidity, with wind load directions reversing at any time. The moment these two overlap is the true verification moment of this hybrid structure. The sentiment index is a wind rose diagram; looking at long-term averages is meaningless—you must look at extreme conditions.
So for newcomers entering the site, I suggest first checking three things: one, whether there are settlement monitoring points, meaning whether the team dares to disclose the roadmap and delay records; two, whether load-bearing components can be replaced, meaning whether consensus and governance have redundancy; three, whether the construction team has changed, meaning whether core developers have quietly left.
Before the structure passes inspection, all soft decoration is a waste.
The lifespan of a building is written in the foundation, not in the sales office. #newherestarthereMore than 500 times the paper profit, but only a 5.76% price fluctuation. Long from 81592 to 86291, 100x leverage pulls the figure to 575.88%.
Logic: On September 15, the bill failed, $BTC dropped to $74,944, then the negative news was fully priced in. Glassnode had previously marked the 83,000-86,000 range as a "thickening" liquidation zone; on September 21, the price touched this range, forcing shorts to cover.
I entered when it stabilized above 81,000.
Outlook: Above 86,000 is a dense cost zone for long-term holders of 1.07 million BTC, also the ETF breakeven line. A breakout requires new buying support, otherwise a pullback is likely.

#财报观察员：好市多Q4财报即将公布
#AMD市值突破1万亿美元，芯片股集体大涨 A bull market never means everyone rises together; there is an order to exiting.
The first to move are always BTC and ETH, with the largest market caps and strongest consensus. The first stop for money entering the market is these two. At this time, most altcoins stay still; many hold small coins watching the big coins rise, but can't endure and sell to chase the highs—usually selling just before the rotation.
When BTC reaches previous highs and consolidates sideways, the second wave begins: funds flow out from the big coins, and mainstream altcoins catch up one by one.
After that, small coins go wild, with all sorts of tokens doubling. It sounds exciting, but that is often the late stage of the market, not the beginning.
My habit is simple: if the rotation hasn't come, don't run ahead yourself; when the whole network is showing altcoins doubling, don't rush in either. Money moves layer by layer outward, just wait accordingly, don't chase backwards.

No room for bears to breathe. The hardest lesson? Shorting the strongest assets in $XAU has fallen back to around 4340, with even traditional safe-haven assets under selling pressure, clearly showing a cooling in market risk appetite.
$PEPE also dropped over 3%, with the Meme sector collectively bleeding, and the speed of capital withdrawal noticeably faster than other sectors.
The entire market is red, panic sentiment is spreading, and many are starting to cut positions to stop losses.
But $ZEC is an exception.
The price was pulled from 1443 all the way up to 1534, rising against the trend by over 2%, becoming one of the most concentrated directions of capital when the broader market is under pressure.
Why is capital still pouring into ZEC?
On one hand, Grayscale's ZCSH listing has continuously attracted capital attention. Official disclosures show that the ETF has accumulated net inflows exceeding 70 million USD within two weeks of launch, and the fund size continues to grow rapidly.
On the other hand, expectations for the NU7 upgrade continue to ferment. Community voting ultimately retained Zcash's original halving mechanism while advancing network upgrades such as a 25-second block interval, with the mainnet launch currently planned for November 5.
Additionally, public attention from institutions like Paradigm on ZEC, along with the recent significant warming of the privacy sector, means that ETF, upgrades, institutional capital, and short squeeze narratives are all overlapping, making ZEC's capital siphoning effect increasingly obvious. $ETH cleared 2,700 yesterday and refused to give it back. The interesting part came at 4:27 a.m. Beijing time, when a run of forced liquidations squeezed shorts and pushed the pair to 2,806.88 — a move that looks less like fresh demand and more like a positioning flush. That distinction matters. A short squeeze borrows its fuel from the losing side of the book. Once the forced buyers are filled, the marginal bid disappears unless real spot interest takes over. The source account treated the spikThe whales bought first. The chart answered later.
Large $XRP holders accumulated about 1.54B $XRP — roughly $2.2B — in 96 hours. Since then, XRP has rallied into the $1.50 area, touching $1.5744 today on OKX. One number now matters: around 2.5B XRP previously changed hands near $1.60.
A $2.2B accumulation wave is about to meet a $1.60 wall.A $2400 target price? That's a coffin lid custom-made for retail investors.
I just took a look at the latest SEC filings and laughed in anger.
Rosenblatt's analyst was on stage shouting "Buy, target price 2400,"
while SanDisk's CEO cashed out $53 million at the $1574 level.
Institutions are setting the stage, insiders are running.
Retail investors are still listening to stories, while the big players are already coming to the table with knives.
Take a look at this 15-minute chart; the answer is all there.
After crashing down from the high of 1908, the bulls look like fish gasping for air.
The price is now stuck at 1891, MACD's DIFF and DEA have started a bearish crossover downward, the red bars have shrunk almost out of sight, and the STICK has turned green.
There isn't even strength left to push up; it's hanging on by a thread.
At this position, there's no hesitation.
I entered at 1887.5 with a 10x short position, going all in.
Currently down 2.46%, but this market clearly looks like a bull trap.
If even the CEO thinks 1891 is expensive, why would retail investors believe it can reach 2400?
I don't listen to institutions' bullish calls; I only trust where insiders are moving their real money.

#AMD市值突破1万亿美元，芯片股集体大涨 $BCH The most unusual detail today is not the +27.74%, but that the RSI surged to 85.4 and the price is running close to the upper Bollinger Band at 344.3, while the funding rate is only +0.0100% — indicating that the long position crowding is far from extreme, meaning this rally has not yet triggered large-scale leveraged chasing.
Looking at trend health through moving averages, focus on two points: first, whether the MA5 consistently runs above the MA20 and the gap between them is expanding. Currently, BCH's MA5=328.76 and MA20=287.57, a price difference of 41 dollars, which is a strong bullish alignment; second, whether the pullback holds above the MA5. As long as the price does not effectively break below around 328, the trend structure remains intact. However, with RSI=85.4 already in the overbought zone and the upper Bollinger Band at 344.3 forming the first resistance, this means chasing highs carries high risk, and pullbacks are the opportunity.
Directionally, I remain bullish but will only buy on pullbacks, not chase highs. Entry reference is 328–334 (MA5 support zone, also the first pullback confirmation level after today's breakout); Take profit 1 at 344 (Bollinger upper band resistance); Take profit 2 at 358 (measured extension after breaking the upper band); Stop loss set below 318 (breaking below MA5 and losing previous high structure, invalidating the bullish logic). The Fear and Greed Index at 78 indicates extreme greed, so position sizing should be more restrained than usual.
Also watching: $BTC, $TST.🐕 What DOGE really needs to be wary of is not a pullback, but being forgotten by the market again.
$DOGE's recent movement once again proves its "dog-like nature"—crazy when rising, just as quick when pulling back.
Previously, DOGE repeatedly found support around $0.084, then gradually returned to the $0.09 level. The market was originally waiting for it to slowly break through, but unexpectedly, funds suddenly accelerated, pushing the price up to around $0.105, then falling back from the high, testing around $0.10 again.
But this time, I'm actually less worried about short-term volatility.
What really deserves attention is not how much DOGE pulls back each time, but whether funds continue to stay after the rise. $0.10 is an important psychological threshold; if the price can repeatedly trade hands and hold here, short-term retracements are more like profit-taking and chip reorganization, rather than necessarily signaling the end of the trend.
More importantly, DOGE's market heat is clearly recovering.
The latest data shows that DOGE's recent rally once exceeded 15%, retaking $0.10; meanwhile, 24-hour crypto market liquidations exceeded $1 billion, with short liquidations around $844 million. This indicates that previously accumulated short positions are being rapidly squeezed, but whether the trend can continue next depends on real new buying support. $SKHYNIX Hynix is initially trying a small short position; the focus is not on rushing to bearish views but on observing whether this rebound can break through the upper resistance again.
If the rebound faces pressure again after reaching the resistance area, it indicates that the short-term weak structure remains, and one can continue to watch for opportunities to fall from high levels; conversely, if there is a volume breakout, the bearish logic needs to be reassessed, with stop loss controlled at about 8%.
Currently, the storage sector has not shown a particularly obvious synchronized trend; $MU Micron and $SNDK SanDisk are performing relatively stronger. Today, SanDisk once rose over 6%, and the market still holds high expectations for storage demand driven by AI; although Hynix also rebounded following the AI chip sector, the strength differentiation still deserves attention.
Therefore, at this stage, I am more focused on whether the "sector has formed resonance." If funds continue to concentrate on the US stock storage direction, but Hynix's rebound still cannot break through key resistance, then the trading logic of pressure at high levels still exists.
Additionally, some easing signals appeared in the macro environment today. Trump will meet with leaders of Gulf countries including Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Oman during the UN General Assembly, and Iran has also signaled resuming negotiations and discussing the Strait of Hormuz issue.
How the geopolitical situation will proceed depends on negotiations and actual actions; don't rush to conclusions for now.
Continue to watch storage, with Hynix focusing on the gain or loss of resistance levels.

He said he was checking crypto. I asked if it was reliable. He just smiled and said, "Who knows?" When I got home, on a whim, I downloaded an app. The $BTC price was too high. I glanced at it and then quit. Later, I bought some $ETH. After buying, I regretted it. When it went up, I felt I bought too little; when it went down, I felt I bought too much. During that time, I was so distracted I even neglected checking my child's homework. Then someone in the group shouted $SOL. I couldn't resist and followed. It went sideways right away. Sideways enough to make me want to delete the app every day. I sold at a loss, then it went up; I chased it, then it dropped again. The fees alone could have bought several pounds of ribs. After months of messing around, I saw no money, lost sleep, and learned a lesson. Now I understand: it's not that you can't play with this stuff, just don't use money you urgently need. Don't borrow money. Don't use leverage. Don't throw your mortgage into it. Now I only put in a little bit. Losing it won't affect my life. If I make money, I'll go buy a roast chicken. When others show off profits, I don't envy them. When others get liquidated, I don't laugh. Who knows what the market will do tomorrow? Hold on if you can. If you can't, just stay away a bit.

#AMD市值突破1万亿美元，芯片股集体大涨 This time I closely monitored Strategy's accumulation data for a long time and found a very obvious change: the quantity is still increasing, but the buying pace has slowed down.
Last month, Strategy maintained an accumulation scale of several thousand BTC each time, then paused for about two weeks. When re-entering the market, it only bought 950 BTC at an average cost of about $79,670. The current total holding has reached about 846,000 BTC. In terms of absolute quantity, it is still very large, but compared to the previous accumulation speed, it is obviously more cautious.
During the same period, Strive increased its holdings by 1,355 BTC, bringing its total holdings to 26,355 BTC.
On the other hand, BitMine's move is more conspicuous, increasing its holdings by 27,562 ETH at once, bringing its total holdings close to 5.98 million ETH. This number alone is indeed very exaggerated, but it cannot be simply understood as ordinary long-term hoarding.
The reason is that a large part of BitMine's ETH is not simply waiting for price appreciation, but will be further invested in contracts and other yield strategies, earning interest through staking or similar methods. Currently, about 5.07 million ETH have been locked.

Among them, Permissioned Pools are a major implementation: by writing KYC whitelist verification into smart contracts via hooks, each transaction automatically verifies permissions on-chain, supporting tokenized stocks and RWA compliant securities trading within decentralized pools, opening the channel for traditional financial assets entering DeFi, which is the most important narrative catalyst in this market cycle.
2. Multi-chain full deployment, ecosystem network effects continuously amplified
v4 has been deployed on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Polygon, Robinhood Chain and other public chains, forming a cross-chain liquidity network. Robinhood Chain brings massive new users and trading volume, becoming the core source of recent protocol revenue, making Uniswap no longer solely dependent on Ethereum mainnet traffic, diversifying single-chain risk and expanding trading volume.
3. Industry leader moat solidified
Uniswap remains the largest decentralized spot exchange by global trading volume, with leading liquidity depth, developer ecosystem, and brand consensus. Many aggregators prioritize routing to Uniswap pools by default, forming a positive flywheel of “users → liquidity → more trades → more LPs joining.”
✅2. Protocol revenue surges continuously, tokenomics reshaped, value capture ability qualitatively improved
1. Fee Switch protocol fee toggle implemented, truly realizing profit capture
For years, all Uniswap trading fees went entirely to liquidity providers (LPs), with UNI itself having no revenue capture.
Proposal 100 officially activated the protocol fee switch: a portion of trading fees is diverted into the TokenJar contract to buy back UNI on the market and permanently burn it. The more trades, the higher the protocol revenue, the greater the burn volume, forming a deflationary mechanism.
Data shows that after launching multi-chain v4 protocol fees in July, daily protocol revenue surged from $114,000 to $325,000, with a 165% increase over 30 days. Revenue growth outpaced trading volume growth, significantly improving revenue quality. Robinhood Chain contributed nearly 60% of protocol revenue, becoming the short-term growth engine.
2. Revenue growth drives continuous buyback and burn, improving supply side
After accumulating protocol revenue, continuous UNI purchases on secondary markets are sent to burn addresses, reducing circulating supply. The sustained deflation expectation changes the market’s valuation model for UNI: from a pure governance token to a value asset supported by real cash flow with buyback and burn attributes.
✅3. Dual engines of technology + revenue form the core driving force for steady token price appreciation
1. Valuation logic reconstruction: from native crypto DEX to on-chain trading infrastructure for RWA/tokenized stocks
v4 permissioned pools accommodate tokenized stock assets, connecting to the trillion-dollar traditional securities market, expanding market space beyond the crypto circle. Expectations of institutional funds and traditional asset issuers’ cooperation raise UNI’s long-term valuation ceiling.
2. Fundamental flywheel formed: technology attracts assets and trading volume → trading volume generates protocol revenue → revenue buys back and burns UNI → token scarcity increases, attracting more capital allocation
In a bull market environment, this positive cycle will continuously strengthen, becoming the underlying confidence supporting steady token price appreciation, no longer relying solely on hype narratives.🔥 $XRP major capital movements deserve attention, what exactly is brewing in this recent market trend?
1️⃣ Significant increase in whale holdings
In the past 96 hours, large addresses have increased their holdings by about 1.54 billion XRP, valued at approximately $2.2 billion at the time. Large holdings rose from about 8.27 billion to 9.81 billion XRP.
If on-chain data continues to be verified, this indicates a clear absorption of funds on the spot side. Such a scale of change is hard for the market to completely ignore.
2️⃣ The narrative around XRP is evolving
On September 21, RippleX announced XRPL AI Starter Kit 1.1 and further integrated machine payment-related protocols like Stripe and Tempo.
This means the application potential of XRPL is expanding from traditional cross-border payments to AI agents, machine payments, and automated settlements.
In the future, if AI agents can directly invoke blockchain to complete payments and settlements, the use cases for XRP and RLUSD in the machine economy could further expand.
3️⃣ Institutional cooperation continues to advance
Absa, one of South Africa's major banks, has adopted Ripple's custody technology to launch digital asset custody services.
Meanwhile, the circulation scale of RLUSD continues to grow. Institutional custody, stablecoins, and payment infrastructure are steadily progressing, indicating that the institutionalization direction of the Ripple ecosystem is still developing Even the whales ultimately couldn't hold on. A massive short position in $ZEC was forced to liquidate, causing huge losses that once again sent strong shockwaves through the market. 🐋💥
On-chain data shows that on September 21, within about 1.5 hours, Garrett Jin closed out his entire short position of 38,000 $ZEC. According to estimates, this operation resulted in a loss of approximately $35.4 million.
Looking at the position details, his average short price was around $656, while the final liquidation price was close to $1,459. In other words, the rapid rise of $ZEC during this period put enormous unrealized loss pressure on this short, forcing an exit.
What’s even more notable is that after this massive short liquidation, buying pressure in the market further intensified. 👀
Subsequently, $ZEC’s price surged again to around $1,530. When many shorts start cutting losses and covering positions, the liquidation funds themselves can further push prices upward, creating a clear short squeeze effect.
This once again demonstrates that in a rapidly rising market, concentrated liquidations of highly leveraged shorts often add extra upward momentum to prices.
$ZEC’s current price action remains very volatile. Going forward, close attention should be paid to changes in short positions, capital flows, and whether the price can maintain strength at these high levels. 📈
#BTC87KCryptoCap3T This wave, really couldn't dodge it 😭
BTC surged from 76,000 to above 87,000 in four days, a full 10,000 points; ETH jumped over 250 points from 2,560 on Friday, and my short positions were directly liquidated. Calculated the account—if I had gone long at the bottom at 1,000 dollars, it would now be about 140,000 RMB. Too bad there are no ifs.
But here, I still don't dare say this is the top. The bears aren't dead yet; the rise isn't over. Some shout about a rate hike bull, some about a technical bull, but I think it's more of a sentiment bull—most people are certain it will fall, but the main players insist on pulling it up to make you believe. Buy when no one cares, sell when the crowd is roaring; the reversal only comes when no one dares to short.
Right or wrong, it's all in the past. Stay alive, wait for the next round.
#加密总市值重返2.8万亿美元
#星球日报 🔥 A bull market won't make all coins take off simultaneously; capital usually spreads out step by step.
🟠 Phase 1｜BTC → ETH first absorbs liquidity
Capital typically flows first into BTC and ETH, the assets with the strongest liquidity and highest consensus.
Currently, BTC has tested above $87K+, and ETH has reached the $2.7K–$2.8K range, indicating that mainstream assets remain the market core.
🟡 Phase 2｜BTC consolidates at high levels → capital begins to spill over
When BTC shifts from rapid gains to consolidation around $85K–$87K, market capital may start seeking higher Beta opportunities.
SOL, BNB, and some large altcoins have already shown more obvious signs of following the rally, and the total market cap has once again surpassed $3T.
🔵 Phase 3｜Mainstream → Large Altcoins → Small and Mid Caps
What truly matters is not "all coins rising together," but:
BTC stabilizes → ETH/BTC improves → mainstream alts like SOL accelerate → small and mid caps begin to spread
Recently, BTC ETFs saw nearly $1B in daily inflows, while ETH ETFs also recorded about $270M in daily net inflows, making the capital dispersion signal increasingly clear.
🧠 Core logic:
Don't chase just because you see a big green candle.
First observe whether capital flow, BTC structure, ETH strength, and volume confirm each other synchronously.
Capital rotation#AMD market cap surpasses $1 trillion, chip stocks surge collectively
On the very day AMD's market cap broke the $1 trillion mark, Bitcoin also pulled back to $85,000, but the logic behind the two is diverging: AI is absorbing almost all market attention, while the crypto market is becoming a "talent supplier for infrastructure."
An undeniable fact is that almost all leading publicly listed mining companies are pivoting to AI. CoreWeave has transformed from Ethereum mining to AI computing power leasing, Crusoe has shifted from Bitcoin mining to AI data centers, and CoinShares data shows that AI computing power leasing generates about $1.5 million in revenue per megawatt per year, three times that of Bitcoin mining, and "a Bitcoin price rebound is unlikely to reverse this trend."
In the short term, the outflow of computing power may not directly impact coin prices—Bitcoin's difficulty adjustment mechanism automatically compensates the remaining miners. But in the long term, the "energy + computing power" moat that the Bitcoin network relies on for survival is being diluted by AI. When veteran mining machine manufacturer Canaan Technology's Q2 revenue plummets 68% yet it stubbornly holds onto 1,915 BTC reserves, what you see is an industry strategically contracting in the AI era.
AMD's trillion-dollar market cap is buying into the rigid demand for AI inference. The question the crypto community needs to answer is: when "smart money" chases intelligence rather than digital scarcity, what will sustain Bitcoin's narrative? Many people rush to short when they see RSI overbought, which is a typical misinterpretation of the indicator. In a strong trend, RSI can remain above 80 for a long time without correction. The real direction is determined not by a single reading but by the combination of moving average structure and momentum bars.
$BCH current price is 333.4, up 25.86% in 24 hours, MA5=327.94 clearly above MA20=287.36, a complete bullish alignment indicating a trend rather than a rebound. MACD bars +5.952 are still expanding, indicating no sign of weakening upward momentum. However, RSI=84.5 has entered the extreme overbought zone, price 333.4 is approaching the Bollinger upper band at 343.424, while the fear and greed index at 78 shows extreme greed, and the funding rate +0.0100% indicates longs are paying fees and leverage is relatively crowded. The conclusion is a bullish trend, but do not chase the highs; wait for a pullback.
Entry reference is 325–330, this range is close to MA5=327.94 and below the Bollinger upper band, considered a strong pullback confirmation zone. Take profit 1 is at 343, corresponding to the resistance at the Bollinger upper band 343.424; take profit 2 is at 358, an extension target after breaking above the upper band. Stop loss is set at 312; breaking below MA5 and moving far from the Bollinger upper band is considered a short-term structure breakdown, also avoiding the sharp drop caused by RSI falling back from overbought.Bought soy milk in the morning

#财报观察员：好市多Q4财报即将公布
#AMD市值突破1万亿美元，芯片股集体大涨 #BTC surged to $87,000 before retreating to around $86,000, with the total crypto market capitalization climbing back near $3 trillion.
This rally is not solely driven by altcoin speculation; ETF fund inflows, concentrated short covering, and improved macro conditions have jointly propelled the market. The US spot BTC ETF saw nearly $1 billion in net inflows in a single day, marking three consecutive days of net inflows.
More notably, Strategy repurchased 950 BTC, spending about $75.7 million, bringing its holdings to 846,000 BTC.
BTC is now consolidating near $86,000. The focus is not on chasing the rally but on observing whether ETF inflows can continue, if contract leverage is overheating, whether ETH/SOL can keep rising, and if US Treasury yields and oil prices show inverse movements.
Short-term key points: Can $85,000 hold steady, and after breaking $87,000, can it be further confirmed.Heading down soon, right?
No big problem.
This position keeps failing to break through repeatedly.
Sis is shorting first, brothers.
But I'm betting on a short-term pullback,
not a complete trend reversal to bearish😭
—
$ETH has been repeatedly resisted at 2760 on the 15-minute rebound.
The obvious resistance today is at 2807 above.
Short term, watch 2740 first.
If it breaks below, then look at 2720 to 2714.
But if volume surges and it holds above 2780,
or even breaks through 2807,
the short position strategy will become invalid.
The daily chart structure is actually still relatively strong.
Market analysis considers 2775–2825 as a consolidation resistance zone.
After breaking through, it may still challenge 3050.
—
$ZEC is still too volatile.
It surged above 1500 earlier, then started to pull back.
Closed near 1470 on September 21.
Current market cap is about 24.9 billion USD.
Single-day trading volume is close to 1.3 billion USD.
High-level turnover is still fierce.
I won’t directly chase shorts.
Will consider it only if it rebounds to 1500–1520 but fails to break through.
Downside first watch if 1450 can hold.
—
$SNDK 1800 is the most critical level right now.
If it can’t break through, it’s likely to first retest 1720.
If weaker, then look at 1680.
But if volume surges and it stabilizes above 1800,
1900 could really be touched again.
Also, it essentially follows SanDisk’s stock,
being a tokenized stock or derivative.
It can’t be analyzed exactly like a regular altcoin.
I’m a female retail trader,
not a risk model😭
#BTC冲高$87000，加密总市值重返3万亿
#Strategy再度增持，财库同步加仓 Crypto funds' single-week net inflow hits highest since last October, with $BTC spot funds attracting $999 million and $ETH bringing in $270 million. The numbers look great, but great doesn't mean safe.
At the time of this capital influx, $BTC had just surpassed 86,000, and $ETH broke through 2,700, both hitting 8-month highs. Money and prices rising together indicate that the entrants are momentum chasers, not strategic allocators. The characteristic of chasing funds is: the faster the rise, the quicker they come, and once there's a pullback, they exit faster than anyone else.
Looking back to the last time this "price new high + capital peak" combination appeared, it was 10 months ago. What happened afterward, the market has already answered.
A single-week inflow record is only a lagging indicator; it records the sentiment of the past week, not the direction of the coming week. When retail investors start accelerating their entry, it often means short-term momentum is nearing its end. What truly matters is not the peak inflow, but whether the inflow can be sustained—historical experience tells us that chasing funds never provide timely support; they only add to the glory and then worsen the fall.
$BTC $ETH On the surface, it's rising, but the market hasn't caught up below. Is this a real breakout or just another round of sentiment swinging? BTC has returned above 85,000, reaching an intraday high of 87,291, which appears to be a strong recovery. But if you only focus on this bullish candle, it's easy to overlook a more critical issue: capital preference hasn't spread in sync, but rather seems to be briefly holding in a few high-certainty assets. In other words, while prices are strengthening, risk appetite hasn't truly opened up. Let's look at the facts first. The area around 87,300 is a frontline and a watershed for short-term sentiment. If it rises, the structure will clearly strengthen, and the market will be willing to offer a higher premium; If the rally fails and then falls back below 85,000, chasing long chips leads to concentrated profit-taking, and the short-term rhythm will quickly weaken. - Momentum signals: BTC has returned above 85,000, with a high of 87,291, indicating buying is still testing near key levels. - Risk signals: The previous resistance at 87,300 has not been effectively taken, indicating that supply remains above and the desire to chase prices is not strong. - Capital preference signals: This round feels more like BTC attracting funds alone; ETH and altcoins are not moving in synchronously, indicating risk appetite is still contracting rather than expanding. What I care about more is the second-layer transmission. If BTC breaks through 87,300 with increased volume and stabilizes, the short-term structure will strengthen, allowing ETH and some high-beta sectors to catch up, and market sentiment will shift from defensive to aggressive. But if another false breakout occurs, funds will quickly return to conservative mode, making a rebound more likely$SNDK's surge this time is really outrageous, almost showing a vertical breakout trend. I couldn't help but try a small short position 👊
This time $SNDK quickly surged from 1742 to 1908, rising more than 7 points in a short time, with the candlestick slope almost close to 90 degrees. RSI6 even soared directly to 91.73, and the upper Bollinger band at 1874 has long been left behind by the price. The news attributes this rally to explosive growth in NAND demand driven by AI.
Seeing such an almost crazy speed of rise, I took a small short position near 1893, mainly betting on a short-term pullback after the sharp rally. However, extreme overbought does mean the market may need to cool down, but it doesn't necessarily mean the price will top out immediately. Especially since the MACD red bars are still expanding, indicating bullish momentum has not clearly weakened, the risk of trying to top against the trend remains very high.
My stop loss is set at the previous high of 1908. Once the price effectively breaks through here, I will admit my mistake and exit directly, not fighting the trend. For such a vertical surge market, controlling position size and risk is more important than predicting the top.
If you see such an almost straight-line surge "monster stock," would you choose to chase the rise or try to wait for a pullback? Can my short position wait for a decent correction? Feel free to share your views and trading ideas in the comments. 🙈
#BTC87KCryptoCap3T Short sellers are exiting, and the market structure is quietly shifting
A large whale recently closed out its short positions on BTC, SOL, and XRP. This is not an isolated trade but a positioning signal worth noting.
When one of the largest short sellers in the market chooses to exit, it means their expectation for downside has narrowed. Meanwhile, BTC has reclaimed the $84,000 to $86,000 range, a key defensive line for long-term holders. After months of consolidation and defense, the market structure is shifting from passive defense to active accumulation.
Of course, this is not an "immediate buy" signal. But short covering, reclaiming key price levels, and market sentiment shifting from fear to cautious optimism—when these signals appear together, they at least indicate one thing: the most pessimistic phase may be behind us.
What needs to be observed next is whether this positioning shift can attract more spot buying follow-through, rather than relying solely on short-covering for short-term momentum. #BTC冲高$87000, total crypto market cap returns to 3 trillion #Strategy再度增持，财库同步加仓 #财报观察员：好市多Q4财报即将公布 链上数据显示，Garrett Jin 在 1.5 小时内平掉约 3.8 万枚 ZEC 空单，亏损超过 3500 万美元，价格也被空头回补从 1490 附近直接推到 1530。 更关键的是，他账户里仍然躺着约 20.2 万枚 ZEC 现货，价值超过 3.1 亿美元，账面浮盈约 2.24 亿美元。 所以这更像是“空单认输，现货继续拿”！ ZEC 从 9 月 15 日约 1110 美元一路冲到 1569，短期涨超 40%，目前 1490 附近震荡。1449–1498 是关键支撑，1552 和 1600 是上方压力。 BTC 目前约 85600，刚从 87374 回落。BTC ETF 单日净流入接近 9.99 亿美元，资金面明显改善。85775 是短线关键支撑，87400 是上方压力。 ETH 约 2750，昨日现货 ETF 净流入约 2.7 亿美元，连续第二天净流入。2634–2640 是重要支撑，2830 附近看压力。 一句话： ZEC 是逼空行情，BTC/ETH 更有 ETF 资金支撑。逻辑不同，别盲目追涨！ #ZEC #BTC #ETH #Crypto #比特币 #以太坊Yesterday I went to the market to buy fish.

#财报观察员：好市多Q4财报即将公布
#AMD市值突破1万亿美元，芯片股集体大涨 These past two days I've been reviewing my recent trades. After all, this is the first bull market since I seriously became a trader. So with the 2.7x long position at 58,000 and the 6x long position at 76,000, especially the latter, it made me really nervous. I feel like I opened too big. So although the entry points were quite accurate, there was definitely pressure.
As for specific low time frame operations, I think in a bull market—or rather, regardless of bull or bear—any indicator in a trending market can potentially be broken. For example, the recent daily bearish divergence: the indicator moves much slower compared to the price. Going forward, I will also try using a semi-god MACD strategy, abandoning absolute price points and opening hedge positions at the most certain points. For now, I’m looking at the annual K-line opening price around 93,000. Below are two possible predicted price movements. After the Korean market opened this round, $SKHYNIX continued to rebound and rise. However, this rally was also driven by the overall strength of major U.S. stock indexes, the decline in oil prices, and the U.S. dollar index climbing back above 100, which significantly improved market sentiment.
But I still do not believe this is a trend reversal at present. More importantly, we need to observe whether the price can truly break through key resistance and hold steady after subsequent consolidation. If this cannot be effectively confirmed, the short-term strength may only be temporary.
My plan is to take profits in batches. The next rapid surge requires increased caution, as it is more likely to form a bull trap.
Meanwhile, the crypto market continues to attract capital inflows. For tech stocks, this is not entirely beneficial, since the total market capital is limited, and capital flowing between different assets often affects the buying strength of various sectors.
#BTC87KCryptoCap3T Sisters, what's going on with this SanDisk?
It's completely crazy.
Woke up in the middle of the night and saw $SNDK surge directly to 1908, I was stunned, my head hadn't caught up yet, but my hand had already placed an order.
Only after coming to my senses did I remember that on September 21, the S&P 100 index adjustment took effect, and SanDisk was officially included as a component stock.
Once the news came out, passive funds had to buy in, forcibly pushing the price from over 1700 to 1908.
But what is this called? This is passive allocation by index funds, not the market actively being optimistic.
After this batch of passive buying is digested, who will take over?
Looking at the current long-short data is what really gives me chills.
OKX's SNDK account long-short ratio has dropped to 0.49, with long accounts only accounting for 33%, the lowest level in the past 30 trading days.
Meanwhile, Binance's large account long-short ratio is as high as 3.16, and the large holders' long-short ratio even reached 4.79.
On one side, retail accounts are frantically bearish, while on the other, large holders are still stubbornly holding long positions.
What does this extreme divergence mean?
It means the large holders' long positions have been piled up to the extreme, while retail bearish sentiment is maxed out.
Once the price starts to go down, the large holders' long positions will be the fuel for a chain liquidation, and the stampede will be faster than anyone else.
Think about it, a stock that has risen 600%, included in the S&P 100, passive fund buying is mandatory, and once bought, there's no more.
Who else has the motivation to keep pushing it higher at this level?
Retail longs are running, institutional passive buying is fading, leaving only large holders holding on alone at the top.
This kind of structure fears one bearish candle the most.
So at this point, I'm not afraid anymore, I lightly shorted around 1884, with a stop loss above 1950, and the target is first set at 1750.

#AMD市值突破1万亿美元，芯片股集体大涨 This bullish candlestick was like an army pressing in, directly breaking through the already accumulated bearish sentiment in the market. The most obvious change was that bears began to be collectively liquidated. In the past 24 hours, the total scale of short liquidations in cryptocurrencies across the network was about $650 million, with the vast majority coming from mainstream assets like BTC. Many liquidated people actually share a very similar logic: "After rising for so long, there will definitely be another drop near the previous high." So they choose to short at resistance levels, waiting for the final pullback. The problem is, this logic itself is not necessarily wrong. The real danger is—you must first confirm that the market is still in a downward structure. For a period of time, BTC has repeatedly fluctuated between $75,000 and $82,000. Many people have become accustomed to interpreting every rise as a rebound and previous highs as short selling opportunities. Especially since 2026 has been four years since the 2022 bear market, many traders naturally use the "four-year cycle" as a basis for judging market tops and bear markets. But cycles can only serve as references, not replace trend confirmation. If the market is truly in a bear market, then shorting at resistance levels certainly has its logic; But if the market structure has changed and you continue to short according to old thinking, it can easily shift from "short at high levels" to "short against the trend." This time, the market's answer is very straightforward. After BTC broke through $82,000, it continued to rise, then broke through 85,000 and $87,000, with short positions forced to close, which in turn created new buying pressures and pushed things further$BTC $ETH $ZEC bears start to fight back!
Yesterday, people were still shouting $BTC would hit 90,000, but today it fell from 87,374 down to 85,770; $ETH dropped from 2,806 to around 2,750, and the market instantly turned red.
I reversed to short ETH at 2,781.8, currently around 2,749, with floating profits continuing to expand. The position isn't large, but this feeling is satisfying. 😏
$SOL also followed the decline, facing resistance near 117.9.
However, this time I’m not blindly chasing shorts; the stop loss has been moved up to break-even. If ETH rebounds to around 2,780, I’ll observe whether there’s an opportunity to add to the short.
Additionally, Strategy just resumed buying, adding 950 BTC, investing about 75.7 million USD, with total holdings reaching 846,000 BTC.
Costco’s Q4 earnings report will be released on September 24, and macro risk events continue to intensify.
The focus now isn’t guessing the top, but watching whether this pullback can form a true structural weakness.

#Strategy再度增持，财库同步加仓 $SKHYNIX A small short position has been opened to test the rebound. I’m watching how strong the recovery is, with a 10-point stop-loss in place for now. If price fails to reclaim the key resistance, it could confirm continued weakness

ZEC's current price hovers around 1500, just a step away from the previous high of 1598.78. Despite apparent strength, multiple signals point to the same conclusion: this round of short squeeze is nearing its end, and a top is forming.
The daily RSI has been overbought for a long time; after surging to 1598, a long upper shadow appeared, indicating selling pressure and waning bullish momentum. The 4-hour indicators continue to decline; the high-level sideways movement is not a consolidation but profit-taking and staged distribution by major players. The NU7 governance vote rally has long been priced in; this surge is essentially a short squeeze, not a fundamental shift. The short squeeze must end eventually; once new capital dries up, concentrated profit-taking will trigger a waterfall decline.
Open interest remains high, but few stop-loss orders remain above, lacking the momentum for further large-scale rallies. The whale closing 38,000 short contracts with losses exceeding $35 million is a typical late-stage short squeeze feature—shorts have been cleared, counterparties vanish, and the bullish logic collapses.
Key levels: Upper resistance at 1598.78 is hard to hold; first support at 1480; critical watershed at 1441. A volume-backed break below 1441 will officially start a deep correction, with a downside target near 1300. At that point, trapped holders around 1300 will have a chance to unwind, while late buyers face the risk of being stuck. The short squeeze feast is ending; ZEC has formed a top.
#BTC冲高回落，期权到期放大关口博弈 #ZEC巨鲸3.8万枚空单平仓，亏损超3500万美元 A while ago, a friend pulled me into a group
Every day someone posted screenshots
I kept watching and started feeling restless
I secretly downloaded an app
$BTC price was too high
I looked for a long time but didn’t dare to click
Later I bought some $ETH
Regretted it right after buying
When it rose, it felt too little
When it fell, it felt too much
Those days, my phone was glued to my hand
Even while eating, I was checking the market
Then someone in the group shouted $SOL
I couldn’t resist and followed
It just sideways traded
Sideways so much I wanted to scratch the walls
I cut losses and it surged up
Chased it and it dropped down again
Lost quite a bit on fees
Tossed and turned for months
No money earned
Much less sleep
Now I’ve figured it out
It’s not that you can’t touch this stuff
Just don’t use money you urgently need
Don’t borrow money
Don’t use leverage
Don’t throw your rent in
Now I only put in a little
If I lose, it doesn’t affect my meals
If I earn, I treat myself to a chicken leg
I’m not jealous when others show profits
I don’t laugh when others get liquidated
Who knows what the market will be like tomorrow
If you can hold, hold
If you can’t, buy less

Stay calm.
Don't rush to get hyped.
My choice is clear—continue shorting.
On the daily chart, the 86000-88000 range should not be seen as a breakout confirmation; this is a staging area. Open interest in options, short-term profit-taking chips, and chasing momentum are all piled here. The main players love to play tricks in such places.
Chasing longs at this position is no different from putting your hand into a meat grinder.
The only position to really watch is:
83500. As long as the price holds above it, the fifth wave still has some heat left, and the bulls can still struggle a bit.
But if the daily candle closes with a valid break below, don't hesitate; a major correction is very likely just beginning.
Now funding rates are starting to drift, ETF inflows are slowing, and on-chain activity is cooling down.
My response:
Only observe the resistance range, don't rush to catch rebounds
Watch the pattern evolution above 83500, add positions following a break
The market always deceives, but position management never does.
Keep holding the short positions on 大饼 and 姨太, no consideration for any long entries today.
