The latest US stock market opening was quite exciting, so here’s a brief recap. Although the blogger has been trading US stocks for over a year, this situation is indeed rare. SanDisk's price surged to 1842.4 before liquidity was plundered, leading to a sharp volume-driven drop. It broke the key low point, triggering a CHoCH structural shift, and the short-term pattern has turned bearish. Although it bottomed at 1736.2, sweeping liquidity and triggering an oversold rebound, the current price (around 1773.9) is approaching a dense resistance zone above. Key resistance: 1785–1795 (overlapping bearish OB and BB breakdown zone) and 1799–1806 (FVG value gap), which are strong defense areas for bears. Trading strategy: 1. Main strategy · Short on rallies: Wait for a rebound into the 1785–1800 range, then short in batches upon signs of resistance and stagnation; place stop loss above 1815; first target at 1760–1765, break below targets the previous low at 1736. 2. Secondary strategy · Ultra-short long play: Do not chase longs at the current price; if it pulls back and stabilizes at 1755–1760, lightly position for a rebound aiming for 1775–1785, with a firm stop loss if it breaks below the previous low at 1735. Risk control bottom line: If a large bullish candle with volume closes firmly above 1806 (upper edge of FVG), it indicates the bearish structure has failed, and short positions should be immediately avoided. Strictly keep positions light to guard against sharp spikes!$UNI reduced part of the position around 9.2 As mentioned before, this is the first batch of positions, with the position target to avoid missing out. I noticed these past two days that the main force does not want to break above the 9.5 range yet, but is instead suppressing orders and distributing. Their goal is bigger; they want to first wash out this wave of chasing orders. So my position target is achieved: if it doesn't break through, then reduce the position and buy at a lower price to lower the holding cost. I will build the second batch of spot positions while they wash out downward this wave. To successfully catch orders, let's not talk about the range for now; the general direction is below 8.5. Please note, swing trading carries risksCrypto Circle Watch: What exactly is CORE playing at? CORE is currently trading at about $0.022, down over 90% from its peak. Normally, it should have been delisted by now, but the project team is still actively building — a hard fork launched on September 3 to fix reward loopholes, exchanges are gradually resuming deposits and withdrawals, and all official signals are stable. Yet the community is completely polarized. Bulls shout "BTCFi is the biggest bull market narrative," focusing on institutional entry expectations, betting on a 10,000x gain. Bears bring up 69 million "ghost chips" that were transferred out before the hard fork with no destruction plan to date, costing almost nothing and potentially ready to dump anytime. More critically, CORE has no inherent cash flow. The staking rewards of BTC go to BTC stakers; CORE is just a certificate. Nodes and ecosystem incentives keep issuing more CORE, continuously diluting holders through inflation. The official solution is the "revenue era" — using SatPay card fees and BTC staking fees to buy back CORE. But the flagship product SatPay has announced a delay, with over 20,000 people in line, launch time unknown, and no short-term cash source for buybacks. On one side is the 10,000x faith; on the other, a zero verdict. Is CORE truly rebuilding or just delaying its farewell? The project team is still working, the community is still arguing — and that itself is its strangest aspect. $BTC $CORE #BTC冲高$87000,加密总市值重返3万亿 Hyperliquid burned 42,300 $HYPE (~$4M) in the last 24h, up 88% day-over-day. 7-day burn: 226,500 HYPE. Total burned to date: 47.4M HYPE — 4.74% of supply. The burn mechanism runs on trading fees: more volume → more buybacks → more burned. So this spike mainly signals a jump in platform activity, not a standalone bullish event. One-day % moves can swing a lot — the 7-day trend is the steadier read. Worth watching if elevated volume holds, and whether price/OI confirm the momentum, rather than reaGlassnode's 'Altseason Signal' has officially flipped bullish — the core judgment is that after BTC's rise, the breadth of the altcoin sector has finally caught up. This marks a structural shift from BTC's unilateral rise in August to a 'full bloom' by the end of September. ① If you previously missed out on BTC, altseason might be a remedial window but with a higher entry point; ② The alpha of altseason is not in BTC, but in the 'sector rotation order' — usually starting with L2/DeFi, then meme coins, followed by RWA/AI new narratives; ③ The true end-of-altseason signal is the simultaneous appearance of 'rapid decline in BTC dominance + broad altcoin rally,' indicating that capital has spread to the lowest liquidity targets. At this stage, coin selection logic should shift from fundamentals to on-chain indicators such as 'trading volume + number of holding addresses.'NVDA's daily chart is still stuck below the 232–236 resistance zone; don't chase a breakout unless it holds above it. The chart shows a close around 227. The 232 to 236 range above is the breakout confirmation zone, while the 50-day moving average around 214.6 below acts as a pullback risk anchor. The trendline is still rising, indicating the structure is intact, but volume and closing position will determine if it can pass through. Simply put: it looks more like consolidation and accumulation now, not a one-sided surge. The semiconductor sector is strong overall today, but individual stocks breaking resistance still need their own confirmation; don't get carried away by sector sentiment. My view: wait for a close confirmation before taking action; it's safer than chasing intraday highs. Light observation is fine, but it becomes invalid if the daily chart breaks below 214.6 again with volume. Are you waiting for a breakout above 232 to follow, or watching for a pullback to 214.6 first? $NVDA $AMD $BTC #BTC surges to $87000, crypto total market cap returns to 3 trillion #Strategy increases holdings again, Treasury also adds positionsA market value of 2.8 trillion sounds like everyone is making a killing. Don't rush to pop champagne. There are three types of incremental money: those generated by price increases, squeezed out by short covering, and BTC profits that rotate to ETH/HYPE/ZEC. All of these can boost total market capitalization, but their value varies greatly. The real assessment of strength depends on whether the profit-making effect can spread—whether small and mid-cap coins are continuously trading? Is stablecoin supply expanding or shrinking? During pullbacks, does the money leave, or stay on-chain looking for the next stop? The healthiest market isn't how much a single day surges, but rather the time after the price rises, money is still willing to stay. If 2.8 trillion is surging quickly, but new users, spot depth, and on-chain usage don't keep up, then this group photo is just hyped up. The excitement is real, but how much purchasing power does new creation have? Let's see slowly. $BTC $ETH WAY Review|BTC surged to 87K overnight, is the short position the final spark? Last night, BTC climbed steadily from around $81,000, reaching a high of $87,291. This time, it wasn’t a sudden major positive news but several forces pushing the market up together. First, oil prices and US Treasury yields fell back, easing market concerns about inflation and interest rate hikes; then ETF funds improved, BTC broke through the $82,000 resistance, and shorts who had bet on the rebound ending began to stop losses. About $648 million worth of short positions were liquidated in the past 24 hours. Closing short positions requires buying back BTC, thus forming: Price breakout → short stop-loss → forced buyback → accelerated rally. But now pay attention, after shorts are cleared, market open interest actually increased by about 7.6%, indicating new leveraged positions are entering. This doesn’t mean an immediate bearish turn but suggests upcoming pullbacks could be amplified. I will watch three scenarios: 🟢 Holding $84,800, still a relatively strong consolidation, then eyeing $87,300. 🟡 Losing $84,800, watch for a pullback to $82,000–$83,000. 🔴 Falling back to $82,000–$82,300 and failing to rebound above, the risk of a breakout failure significantly rises. Short squeeze is the fuel; spot funds determine the endurance. Did you chase longs last night, get squeezed on shorts, or just watch it rise all the way? The above is a market review and does not constitute investment advice. #BTC #ETF #OI #TradingReview #OKXShort sellers are being physically squeezed out, and the fear of missing out is spreading, with the entire network anxious. #BTC surged to $87000, and the total crypto market cap returned to 3 trillion 1️⃣ Galaxy data shows BTC just ended a 45-week period by closing above the 50-week moving average for the first time, a historical signal that has confirmed the bottom of bear markets before. (Fig. 1) 2️⃣ Glassnode shows that the 82-86k range is where the most intense recent short liquidations occurred; the price rushing into this range triggered a chain liquidation. In the past 24 hours, over $1 billion in liquidations occurred, with shorts accounting for $840 million. After breaking 84k, another $261 million was liquidated within 60 minutes. Data indicates BTC open interest is decreasing while net positions are increasing, meaning shorts are covering their losses rather than new longs aggressively leveraging in. This structure is much healthier than a pure sentiment-driven rally. 3️⃣ Today's ETF inflows also confirm this: On September 21, BTC ETF inflows reached $617.6 million in a single day, and ETH inflows were $147.1 million. (Fig. 2, Fig. 3) Technicals + leverage liquidations + real spot capital are all pulling together, which is what differentiates this rally from previous "fake rebounds." However, the Fear & Greed Index has surged to 78, marking the first "extreme greed" this month. The anxiety of missing out is widespread, and the other side of this frenzy is often someone planning to harvest profits. ETH whale sell walls are at 2800/3000, and BTC whale sell walls are at 87k, which are the most solid resistance levels currently. Spot and ultra-low leverage positions can continue, but don’t let the anxiety of "not getting on board" push you to chase higher prices.$UB Last night my hand trembled slightly when setting the stop loss, and this morning I realized it was an unnecessary act of filial piety. Before going to bed last night, I saw UB consolidating at the bottom, with some buyers stepping in below and buying pressure strengthening. I judged it was a bottoming process without breaking the level, so I took a light long position. At that time, I advised to wait for a pullback confirmation before going up again; hold as long as the support isn't broken. While others hesitated, I wrote down my plan first. From 0.12527 to 0.14968, a floating profit of +389.55%, feeling good brothers. Big gains. Didn’t operate or analyze this wave, all thanks to strong fate? No, it’s logic realized. Don’t lose patience in the oscillation and then try to regain dignity in a one-sided move. Take profits when you should, don’t be greedy for the last bit. First lock in 70% of the position, keep 30% as protection to hold on; if it continues to rise, let profits fly, if it falls back, don’t panic. With a thick profit cushion, the mindset naturally stabilizes. For friends who haven’t gotten on board yet, listen to me: chasing highs easily gets stuck at the peak, wait for the next signal before moving. There are still opportunities, don’t rush. $LAB $ADA 𝕏 integrates market charts, related discussions, and direct trading all into the same cashtag experience.

BTC has rallied from below 80000 these past two days, just hitting a high of 87385 before pulling back. Many people ask me if it's a good time to chase now. My answer might be a bit disappointing: I actually don't want to chase at this level. It's not because I think this is the top. Rather, I looked at the chart, and this rally has been too sharp; the short-term price is already far from the moving average, with no buffer in between. Chasing in at this point means if you profit, it's luck; if you're wrong, you won't even find a decent stop-loss level. #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 $BTC Yesterday, BTC experienced a continuous short squeeze rally, breaking above 82,000 and then surging like a bulldozer, pushing all the way up to 87,395 before stopping. The crypto market sentiment has returned to extreme greed, with the Fear and Greed Index rising to 78; at this stage, minor Bitcoin pullbacks and sharp dips in altcoins are likely. On the news front, leading market makers and some mainstream hedge funds' short positions have been targeted by the market. According to Zhuge, these are likely institutional hedging positions, but the upside is unlimited. The premise of hedging is having sufficient margin; otherwise, both spot and futures positions will have to be closed eventually. Spot buying power: Strive increased its Bitcoin holdings by 6,400 coins within a month and purchased another 316 today; MicroStrategy added 950 BTC last week at an average price of $79,670 and repurchased $174 million STRC; Boya Interactive increased its Bitcoin holdings by about 152 coins last week at an average price of $75,899. Bitcoin aims for 88,000! Can it break through effectively? From the 1-hour SMC (Smart Money Concepts) structure perspective, the market is currently in a high-level consolidation and pullback correction phase after a rapid one-sided surge: Bitcoin formed a bottom around 80,369, triggering CHoCH (Change of Character) and a BOS (Break of Structure) near 82,000, then proceeded with a steep one-sided main upward wave. The price reached 87,374.3, leaving a clear long upper wick, indicating that the liquidity above was swept out (Liquidity Sweep), short-term profit-taking concentrated, and the market entered a 1H-level pullback repair. Key areas to watch next: 1. Aggressive bullish: If the price holds around 85,000 and engulfs the bearish FVG at 86,300 upwards. If it can break above 86,500 with volume, the market is very likely to retest the previous high at 87,374 and even challenge 88,000. 2. Healthy pullback: If pressure persists below 86,000, the market will likely fall back to the liquidity void below, deeply testing 84,000 (50% equilibrium level) to 83,500. 3. Structure failure: The OB (Order Block) near 81,500 and the starting point of the rise are the foundation of this entire wave. If it breaks below 81,500, it means this surge has completely turned into a bull trap structure, and the bullish trend fails.$ZEC whale short position suffers $35 million loss: When on-chain transparency turns one person's pain into a celebration for tens of thousands A single short position of 38,000 $ZEC shows a paper loss exceeding $35 million, equivalent to over 250 million RMB. Anyone in this position would lose sleep. But the most surreal part of this position is not here. The truly surreal fact is — this position no longer belongs to him. On-chain data is publicly accessible; anyone can see this whale’s unrealized loss fluctuating in real time and estimate how much longer it can hold. Bulls watch its liquidation price eagerly, ready to push the price there; bears hope it will add margin or flip to short, triggering a cascade. One person's trade has turned into a public execution watched by tens of thousands. This is the harsh reality of on-chain transparency. Public positions don’t eliminate risk; instead, they mark risk with a clear coordinate. When the liquidation price is locked onto by the entire market, the price is magnetically drawn there, and any small trigger along the way can ignite a chain reaction. --- Market situation: The $1550 wall holds $20.4 million in liquidation chips As of September 20-21, ZEC price retreated from the $1584 all-time high, oscillating between $1440 and $1530. But the structure beneath the market is very ugly. The largest ZEC liquidation wall on Hyperliquid is near $1550, accumulating about $20.4 million in short liquidation chips. Other nearby liquidation walls are less than a quarter of its size. More intense, the main short address 0x362a’s liquidation price has been pushed from $1509 to $1550.6, leaving less than 5% space before triggering. It also placed a buy stop-loss order at $1550, with only $0.64 difference between trigger price and estimated liquidation price — meaning once the price hits $1550, it will either actively stop loss or be forcibly liquidated, both leading to the same action: market buy of ZEC. On the funding rate side, $ZEC’s rate on Hyperliquid once soared above 170% APR, with bulls paying extremely high costs to hold positions. But the price failed to hold the previous high, indicating marginal weakening of bullish intent. High funding + price stagnation = fewer chasing longs but more expensive holding costs. This combination is not a prelude to a short squeeze but more like the final signal of one. --- News: After a 2500% rise, how much of the story is real? This $ZEC rally is not without reason. On August 25, Grayscale’s Zcash spot ETF (ZCSH) launched on NYSE Arca, with AUM surpassing $400 million within two weeks. For the first time, funds in traditional brokerage accounts could directly buy ZEC without managing private keys or dealing with exchanges, structurally changing the investor base. On September 14, NU7 community voting results came out: 2.4 million ZEC participated, with 98.9% supporting retaining the Bitcoin-style halving mechanism, and 96.6% supporting postponing NSM recycling to 2031. The community clearly told the market: ZEC’s path is “Bitcoin with privacy features,” not “a privacy tool with blockchain features.” Additionally, Paradigm co-founder Matt Huang publicly confirmed holding ZEC and called it “Bitcoin’s privacy supplement.” ZEC surged from $51 to $1584, nearly 25 times in a year, pushing its market cap into the top nine. The story is real, the catalysts are real. But how much of these stories the price has already priced in is another matter. --- I won’t assume bulls will win just because the whale is losing money This is the sentence I most want to say. The whale’s position is large, so there are many ways to manage it. Adding margin, OTC hedging, partial liquidation, even using spot profits to cover futures losses — Garrett Jin holds over 200,000 ZEC spot at a cost of $437, with unrealized gains exceeding $220 million. His short lost $35 million, but his spot profits far exceed that. He is not losing money; he is using futures losses to hedge the pace of spot profit-taking. What is truly dangerous? It’s retail investors seeing “whale lost $35 million” and thinking they found a sure-win script, taking small accounts to play endurance games with the whale. The whale can withstand unrealized losses because its spot position was built nine months ago at $437. What is your cost? How many spikes can your margin endure? The end of a short squeeze is never all shorts dying out. It’s when no more shorts can be liquidated, the buying pressure pushing prices up disappears, and the leveraged longs who chased at the top become the next forced sellers. $ZEC’s fundamental improvement is real, and capital rotation in the privacy sector is real. But within a 25x rise in a year, how much is value revaluation and how much is leverage-fueled fireworks? When the fireworks fade, the market will speak for itself. Don’t use a small account to bet on the whale’s liquidation price. #加密总市值重返2.8万亿美元 #ZEC巨鲸3.8万枚空单平仓,亏损超3500万美元 #特朗普将会晤海湾六国,伊朗局势迎关键节点 A clear rotation from macro-driven large caps into infrastructure narratives like $LINK and $AVAX would likely emerge only if on-chain activity on decentralized finance and Layer 2 networks starts printing sustained higher highs in the coming days.

Contracts with Perp in the name, announced as Expiry Perps: these are expiry contracts, not the kind of perpetuals that stay open overnight. ZHIPU tracks the Hong Kong stock price line of Zhipu, AMAT/CRDO lean towards semiconductor equipment and high-speed interconnects; all are equity exposures within crypto accounts, not registered shareholders, and have no voting rights. Two pitfalls to check first: whether your region can open them in the app; margin and expiry settlement rules differ from those of spot US stocks. If your region is blocked, you really can’t click to open, don’t misunderstand it as "available site-wide." A string of AI/semiconductor names looks great on the contract page, but before acting, open and confirm the expiry date and regional availability—don’t treat it like buying stocks. BTC's push to about $87.4K came with broader strength across ETH, SOL and XRP, taking total crypto market cap back above $3T. The healthier signal is roughly $592M of net US spot BTC ETF inflows over two trading days. The caution is leverage: open interest added about $2B after $82K and shorts saw large liquidations. If spot demand persists without leverage accelerating, this move has firmer footing. NFA. #BTC87KCryptoCap3T 44.93 trillion, with an average of 89.8 billion per household. I stared at these two numbers for a long time, and the first image that popped into my mind was: a small-town boss with a factory of thirty people, making 20 million a year, would probably fall silent for a moment after seeing this list, then quietly put his phone down on the table. Revenue rose by 4.35%, net profit increased by 1.31%. I quickly did the math; the profit growth rate is roughly only one-third of the revenue growth. In plain language, it means: more work was done, but not much more money was earned. Manufacturing accounts for 70.6%, revenue still rose by 8.73%, exports increased by 11.25%. Sounds encouraging, but if you stack these numbers together—the segment working the hardest is precisely the least profitable one. The excitement is theirs. As a retail investor like me, I can’t even reach the threshold, yet here I am calculating profit margins for others. Forget it, I’ll just go back to watching my K-line. #财报观察员:好市多Q4财报即将公布 #OKX预言家:好市多季度财报会超预期吗? #美债短端供给或增万亿美元 $HYPE The US spot Bitcoin ETF attracted about 618 million in a single day on Monday A total of about 1.21 billion over three days; after the short squeeze, the spot channel is replenishing According to Farside's data, on September 21, the US spot BTC ETF had a net inflow of about 617.6 million USD, with ARKB leading at about 289 million and FBTC at about 239 million. Adding about 159.5 million on the 17th and about 433 million on the 18th, the total for the three trading days is about 1.21 billion. After Bitcoin touched about 86,000, the institutional channel is now pouring in A reminder to everyone: a good single-day inflow does not mean it will be this strong every day afterward. Everyone is definitely more concerned now about whether the momentum can continue in the next few trading days and whether the spot buying will remain after the total market cap just bounced back to around 3 trillion. $ONDO The market moves like this: the more impatient you are, the more it grinds you down, only moving when you give up. Just after lunch while watching the market, ONDO was bottoming out but not breaking the level; there were buyers below, so I suggested starting with a small position and holding if it didn’t break. From 0.4067 to 0.4391, +398.32%, nailed it, the patience paid off, time for a good meal. Take profits when you should: lock in 70% gains first, keep 30% at cost price as protection, don’t be greedy for the last bit. Panic comes from lack of planning, losses come from overthinking. Only the profits you can take away are yours; floating gains belong to the market. For friends who haven’t entered yet, listen to me: wait for a more comfortable position in the next round, opportunities remain, don’t rush. $ZEC $SNDK Rally then pullback: is it a dip-buying opportunity or a short-term top? Just look at these 2 indicators Good afternoon. Many people ask me if now is a good time to bottom-fish. BTC surged past 87,000 at midnight, then retraced to 85,600 this morning. At times like this, beginners watch the candlesticks, veterans watch sentiment and structure. Here are two judgment criteria I use in live trading: 1. Check the 1-hour J value: Last night was extremely overbought (BTC J value 115), by noon today the J value has dropped to 0 (negative). Technically, this signals "overbought digestion complete," meaning short-term selling pressure has mostly eased. 2. Check if support levels hold: The key support below BTC is 85,000 (previous high breakout level), ETH is 2,700 (round number). As long as the pullback doesn't break these, it's a healthy correction and a dip-buying opportunity; if volume breaks below, it's a false breakout and a short-term top. My live trading response (screenshot): I was down 40 USDT at midnight but held firm without adding margin. By noon, the floating loss shrank to 20 USDT, still calm. Because I set a bottom line in advance: if BTC falls below 84,000, I will consider manually closing positions. Trading isn't about who makes the most profit, it's about who survives the extreme market conditions longer. What’s your take on this correction? $BTC $ETH #BTC surges to $87000, total crypto market cap returns to 3 trillion BTC surged to 87000, total market cap returned to 3 trillion, this signal is very crucial. It represents a large-scale capital inflow back into the crypto space, market confidence has fully warmed up, no longer a rebound driven by small funds, the overall market's profit-making effect has opened up. $BTC is currently around 86200 USD, with a 24-hour increase of 7.2%. After surging to 87000, it slightly pulled back, sweeping out a large number of short positions. The bulls' momentum is strong, but high-level selling pressure is gradually appearing, and a significant pullback could happen at any time. $ETH is currently priced at 2740 USD, with a 24-hour increase of 8.1%. It is strengthening along with BTC, with gains even slightly surpassing BTC. Buying pressure continues to enter, but there is no independent mainline; once BTC pulls back, it will also face pressure. $OKB is currently priced at 122 USD, with a 24-hour increase of 3.3%. The platform token's trend is relatively stable, with gains much milder compared to mainstream coins, less volatility, and better resistance to declines. It has a higher tolerance for market crashes. The short-term bullish trend remains, and the heat has not faded. But risks accumulate after continuous large gains, so do not chase the highs. If BTC holds the 84000 support, there is still a chance to continue the upward attack; once the support breaks, a deep correction will follow. Leveraged positions must have stop-losses in place. This information is only personal market opinion and does not constitute investment advice. OKB is trading right at the top of the range, with two strategies: breakout and pullback. OKB current price is 124.2, grinding near the top of the range around 126 for nearly three months. 4-hour high is 126, low is 120; daily close also at 124; 60-period range is from 82 to 126. The fee rate is 0.005%, which is relatively low, indicating this top-hugging move is not driven by bulls leveraging up. The watershed level is between 125 and 126; only a close above this counts as a true breakout, with the range height extending to around 132. A false breakout is identified if it fails to hold above 126 and quickly falls back below 120, rendering the range invalid. The first support is between 122 and 123, repeatedly confirmed on the 4-hour chart; if broken, look towards 117. I lean towards a right-side strategy: after breaking 126, consider buying on a pullback that doesn't break the previous high, with stop loss below 122. The risk-reward ratio, assuming a 3-point breakout target and 4-point stop loss, is not attractive, so I prefer to wait for a pullback near 123 to enter. Therefore, my judgment is to not bet on direction near the top of the range, first see if 126 can hold effectively. $OKB #OKXPlanet #StrategyFinally, let's wrap up with the news and what to watch going forward. In recent days, the rally has been obvious, with clear short liquidations and increased open interest in futures. This is a trend of accelerated short squeezes, not gradual accumulation. Spot ETFs: Last Friday, Bitcoin absorbed about 430 million in a single day, nearly flat for the week; Ethereum still had a net outflow of about 140 million for the week. On Monday, there was another single-day record showing BTC and ETH spot ETFs returning, but the 7-day trend remained volatile, with funds and prices still reconciling. After breaking 83,000, the narrative could shift from "short in range" to "bullish in a new range," but a single-day return plus short squeeze does not mean a trend has ended. That's why we say to first close old short positions and postpone new openings. Next, watch whether the pullback can hold above 77,000, whether there is a push toward 95,000/100,000, whether ETH 2,300 can hold, SOL 140–180, DOGE 0.12/0.15, XRP 1.7—these are the short line lines. The trend has just begun, so being cautious is not a bad thing. Clear old short positions first; only trade when the position is reached.$SOXL I originally just wanted to grab a quick breakfast, but the market ended up handing me half a year's worth of dumplings. Yesterday, before the market fully kicked off in the early morning, I saw that SOXL's support hadn't broken, the bottom was grinding sideways, buying pressure was gradually strengthening, and there was clearly someone catching on the downside. The idea I gave at the time was simple: buy on dips as long as the support holds, don't scare yourself in the red zone. Many were still watching, so I set the direction first. Later, the price pushed from 101.56 all the way up to 143.27, with my account floating profit at +411.28%. That gain felt great. The earlier hesitation was real, but the outcome was truly sweet; when the rhythm is right, everyone on board should be waking up smiling. The market is something you wait for, profits are something you hold for. Take profits when you should, don't be greedy for the last bite. I first pocketed the bulk of my position, putting 70% safely in my pocket, and moved protection for the remaining 30% close to the cost price. If it keeps rising, let the profits run; if it falls back, don't let the gains turn uncomfortable. For friends who haven't gotten on board yet, listen to me: now is not the time to rush in; chasing highs easily leaves you stuck at the peak. Wait for the next signal before moving, don't be impatient. The market doesn't lack opportunities, it lacks patience. $SNDK $BTC 🚨 兄弟们,昨晚空头被血洗了。 24小时爆仓9.95亿美元,空头占了86.55%,BTC、ETH、SOL三线齐飞。这波不是小打小闹,是系统性逼空。 --- 💥 今日三币战报 BTC 86,500美元附近运行,24小时+6.4%,盘中一度触及87,000,创八个月新高。单币爆仓5.73亿美元,空头清算占比90%。 驱动力不是某一个利好,是两件事同时砸下来:SEC的“创新豁免”框架允许代币化美股在链上交易,外加马斯克旗下X平台正式开放从时间线直接交易加密货币。市场此前还在消化Clarity Act参议院折戟的利空,结果监管机构反手用现有权限往前推了一步,空头直接被架在火上烤。 --- ETH 2,770美元附近,24小时+4.9%,爆仓2.1亿美元,空头占84%。涨幅在三大币里垫底,不是没理由的。 基本面正在变强,但资金面在撤退。 Glamsterdam升级已完成关键测试,Gas上限从6000万拉至2亿,主网上线后L1转账费用目标降低约78.6%,预计10月6日Sepolia测试网上线。但过去一周以太坊ETF净流出1.4亿美元,终结了连续四周的净流入。“利好落地前先跑”的剧本,以太坊投Strategy recently bought an additional 950 BTC, spending $75.7 million, with an average price of $79,670, bringing the total holdings to 846,000 coins. But what’s truly worth studying is not the "buying more coins," but the source of the funds. SEC filings show that from September 14 to 20, Strategy did not sell shares through the ATM program. Instead, the company repurchased $174 million STRC during the same period; this batch of BTC was directly purchased using USD Cash. As of September 20, the company still disclosed a $5.04 billion USD Reserve and $1.05 billion USD Cash. Therefore, the current fact is: corporate BTC buying is still ongoing, but this time it was not completed through new stock issuance. This means Strategy’s BTC accumulation path is showing a different financing structure, but it cannot be extrapolated as a comprehensive increase across the entire institutional market—the last full trading week saw BTC ETFs with a net inflow of only about $6.2 million. The next real point to watch is: if BTC continues to hover around $86,000, whether Strategy can continue to expand its holdings without additional ATM financing.From the current chart perspective, BTC's daily candle has closed five consecutive bullish days, but the most recent daily candle left a long upper shadow. The high point at 87385 encountered obvious selling pressure, indicating that although the short-term trend is strong, the pullback pressure is also accumulating simultaneously. The key focus remains on the first support level at 85000 below. A pullback that does not break this level is still a good opportunity for low entry. However, it is worth noting that the current situation does not recommend blindly chasing highs. Recent negative news usually means a solid bottom if the price does not fall, but in a low liquidity environment, a short squeeze can also quickly reverse once liquidity recovers. Therefore, the quality of a breakout should not be judged by how much it has risen, but by whether the price can hold during the pullback. #BTC冲高$87000,加密总市值重返3万亿 $BTC $ETH Let's summarize what can be done in terms of operations. Bitcoin is around 85,500. It has already passed the May high of 83,000, so there is reason to switch to bullish. For the new long-term range, first target 77,000 to 97,000; if it falls back within the range, consider going long. Be bolder: the next wave will at least reach 95,000, or possibly 100,000. But for now, I'm conservative: don't rush to open orders; it's recommended to close out previous short positions first. The trend has just emerged, so keep an eye on it, and enter when the pullback or resistance becomes clear. Ethereum, around 2,730. The next short-term target is 3,300. As long as it doesn't break 2,300, there's still a chance to challenge it. Let the range be between 2,300 and 3,300. Similarly, it's best to deal with old shorts first; Don't rush new positions, wait for positions. Solana is around 117. Resistance is seen between 140 and 180. If the old short position is still there and you're patient enough, you can hold on, but it may take a long time. If you're impatient, closing first is more in line with the current conservative approach. For Dogecoin, it's around 0.10. For resistance, look at 0.12 or 0.15. If you have a short position, you can watch these points, but the general policy is still not to open new positions yet, and to prioritize old shorts. For Ripple, it's around 1.52. The shortest high is 1.7. If you still hold on to short positions, breaking 1.7 will definitely stop your loss—no negotiation. A safer approach is to close down first and wait for the trend to stabilize before making a move. In summary, the overall trend is bullish as BTC surpasses 83,000, but...NEAR went from roughly $2.20 to $4.29 in a week. Naturally, the market started focusing on one thing: 🔐 Privacy. On Sept. 17, NEAR made confidential perpetual trading the default through Hyperliquid, covering 50+ markets with leverage up to 40x. Sounds like a brand-new product. But it’s actually an upgrade to an existing system. And “confidential” doesn’t mean the market disappears. 👀 Trader identity and funding links can be shielded, while the underlying trading activity remains on Hyperliqui🚨 The shorts are paying tuition, BTC has reclaimed $85,000! When I saw the market last night, my first reaction wasn’t excitement, but a moment of pause. $BTC is back above 85,000. It hasn’t officially held this level for eight months. Intraday it even touched around 86,000, but ultimately stayed steady above 85,000. The most interesting part is— This time it wasn’t a sudden big green candle with everyone shouting the bull is back. It was more like a big fish biting the hook. The fish struggled, the line tightened more and more, but people didn’t panic, and in the end, they dragged it ashore. 🎣 Looking back at this week, it really wasn’t easy at all. Negative news kept coming one after another, BTC even dropped near 75,000 at one point. At that time, various voices started appearing in the market: "The second wave of the bear market is here." "It’s going to keep falling this time." "The rebound is over." So what happened? On Friday, the US spot BTC ETF saw a clear inflow of funds again, and shorts began to liquidate massively. The price wasn’t pumped by hype; the shorts squeezed themselves up step by step. So when I say BTC is "strong" now, it’s not because it’s skyrocketing. It’s because: When it should have fallen, it didn’t. Despite the negative news hitting hard, the buying remained; The more shorts piled up, the more fuel it gave for the market to move up. #DailyOrbit Conclusion first: Currently, $ETH looks more like a high-level cooldown after a strong rally, and it cannot yet be directly defined as a trend reversal. #BTC surged to $87000, total crypto market cap returns to 3 trillion ETH perpetual futures have risen from around 2645 to 2807 in nearly 24 hours, then retreated to about 2732, with a daily amplitude exceeding 6%. It pulled back about 75 points from the high, indicating selling pressure above 2800, but the price is still in the upper-middle range of this rally, and the bullish structure has not been completely broken. From the price structure perspective, the previous rise was a clear acceleration phase, with 2700 and 2750 consecutively broken. Now the price has returned below 2750, indicating short-term momentum has weakened, but as long as 2700 is not effectively lost, this pullback can still be understood as a retest after a breakout, rather than bears regaining control of the market. Looking at $BTC correlation. BTC has risen from around 81200 to a high of 87374 in the past 24 hours, currently retreating to about 85500. ETH and BTC surged and pulled back almost simultaneously, indicating this volatility is mainly driven by overall market risk appetite, not a standalone weakness in ETH. However, in terms of relative strength, BTC is still up nearly 5% compared to the 24-hour open, while ETH is up about 2.5%; meanwhile, ETH’s pullback from the intraday high is slightly larger. This shows ETH’s short-term momentum is cooling down, but this weakening is only an observation signal for now and not enough to confirm a top on its own. Key levels: 2750–2760 has shifted from support back to short-term resistance. If ETH fails to hold above 2760 after a rebound, then breaks below 2700 and fails to recover, the high at 2807 could become a phase top. Below that, watch supports at 2670 and the 2645–2665 zone. Especially 2645—once lost, it would indicate a clearer breakdown of this rally’s structure. Conversely, if ETH holds 2700 and reclaims 2760, while BTC remains stable above 85,000, the current pullback is more likely just a high-level consolidation, and the price still has conditions to retest 2800–2807. A further break and hold above 2807 would signal a short-term trend strengthening again, requiring a reassessment of the bearish thesis. Regarding babala’s short at 2727, although it has returned near the breakeven line, “close to breakeven” and “trend turning bearish” are completely different. This short position truly gains the upper hand only if 2700 is effectively broken; if the price reclaims 2760, the position will again be passive. The most common mistake now is to prematurely interpret a normal pullback from 2807 as a major reversal. So my current judgment is clear: Above 2700, ETH remains in a relatively strong consolidation; breaking below 2700 confirms the first layer of bearishness; breaking below 2645 means the rally structure has truly weakened; breaking above 2807 again means the bullish trend continues. Now is not the time to guess the top, but to wait for the market to choose its direction itself. What I can do is learn from others' failures rather than study others' successes, because success depends on timing, location, people, and luck plays a big part. For example, I don't short-sell; even if I am bearish, I won't short, nor will I short out of fear of missing out. For instance, I have completely quit contracts and leverage now, at most using off-exchange leverage that won't cause liquidation. Those who short out of revenge for missing out can easily get liquidated when the market turns from bear to bull, as their bear market mindset hasn't shifted to a bull market mindset. The trading rules I set for myself now are: no adding leverage, no heavy positions in altcoins, and no high-frequency short-term trading. In other words, I only hold large amounts of BTC and ETH spot at low prices; if given the opportunity, I go heavy, then become a friend of time by holding long-term, and finally sell in batches when bull market sentiment is high. Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. This approach suits me now, and I have successfully navigated two bull markets with it. I will continue to stick to it. TradingView Technical Analysis: Don't rely solely on technical indicators; always combine them with on-chain data to filter out false breakouts $BTC breaks above a key resistance level, technically bullish; however, CryptoQuant shows exchange balances continuously increasing (chips moving to exchanges, indicating potential selling pressure), which greatly reduces the credibility of this breakout. ETH and MATIC have experienced multiple technical breakdowns, but on-chain addresses keep accumulating chips and later reclaim lost ground. Unique insight: Technical charts provide entry points; on-chain data provides market credibility. Dual confirmation from technical signals + on-chain signals filters out many fake breakouts and false breakdowns. Relying only on candlesticks can easily be deceived by contract order books. #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 #AMD市值突破1万亿美元,芯片股集体大涨 ⚖️ Federal prosecutors are investigating whether the exchange let Iran-linked transactions through The Manhattan US attorney's office is leading it, and the DOJ's criminal division in Washington is involved too That's two separate arms of the DOJ on the same question $BTC What caught my eye is the part of the story nobody's talking about yet Sanctions cases don't move fast, but when they move they set precedent for every exchange with US exposure $ETH SanDisk included in the S&P 100, focus shifts to AI demand, storage chip heat spills over to SKHYNIX. I judge the short-term bias to be bullish but caution is needed when chasing highs. From the capital perspective, after a 3.2% rise in 24h, bullish sentiment heats up, with a funding rate of 0.0407% indicating leverage is somewhat hot. Open interest of 39,000 coin-based contracts shows bulls are still adding positions, but the 4-hour level remains downward, with a -2.06% distance from the high reflecting unresolved selling pressure above. Order book top 10 levels show 412 bids and 135 asks, a buy/sell ratio of 3.05, with bids clearly dominant. The 1-hour trend is upward and 6.21% above the low, indicating strong short-term momentum. 1420.5 is the primary resistance; breaking below 1366.8 turns bearish. Strategy: place long orders on pullback to 1372.4, stop loss at 1358.6, target 1418.3; if volume breaks through 1421.7, lightly chase longs with stop loss at 1406.2, target 1452.9.

This time, $ZETA looks more like a secondary squeeze within a high-leverage range. According to OKX public data at 11:58 (UTC+8), $ZETA spot price is quoted at 0.06070, up 3.41% in 24 hours, with a range of 0.05454—0.07052; in the past 24 full hours, spot and perpetual trading volumes were approximately 6.9 million and 58.13 million USDT respectively. In the previous full hour, spot and perpetual prices rose by 9.70% and 9.69% respectively, with trading volumes increasing by 33.30% and 15.33% compared to the prior period. Both markets accelerated simultaneously, but the current price is already below that hour’s closing prices of 0.06399/0.06382, so confirmation of support after the spike is still needed. The nominal value of perpetual open interest is about 1.294 million USD, with funding around -0.0475%. A negative funding rate increases the cost of short positions but alone does not prove the squeeze will continue; open interest also cannot determine the direction of new positions. If the price holds above 0.05694 on a pullback and volume expands again to break through 0.06626, the secondary upward move has a basis to continue; if it falls below 0.05694 and open interest declines, it should be treated as a leverage retreat first.【Top 10 Crypto Traders' Highlights Today|ETH September 22】 【Top 10 Crypto Traders' Highlights Today|ETH September 22】 Conclusion: The main ETH trend at midday is not to chase highs, but to see if it can hold above 2730; only if it holds can it continue to test 2800—2815; falling back below 2680 invalidates this. Original views: Daan Crypto Trades @DaanCrypto says ETH has effectively broken through and is heading toward 2800, accompanied by an ETH/USD daily chart; Pentoshi @Pentosh1 believes BMNR premium and ETH's higher lows will strengthen buying; Peter Brandt @PeterLBrandt provides a long-term ETH chart, stating to talk about 8600 only after handling 5000; Credible Crypto @CredibleCrypto only discusses CRV/ETH relative strength, which does not mean directly chasing ETH. Today only 4 credible views are confirmed, without using old posts to fill the top ten. Editorial analysis: Spot at 2735, 24H high 2807, perpetual mark 2734, funding rate positive, indicating bulls are slightly crowded; first watch 2730 support, then 2800—2815 resistance; if volume above 2800 is insufficient, do not chase a second long green candle. Prioritize controlling high-level volatility and leverage liquidation risks, do not promise returns, and avoid full positions. #BTC #ETH #OKBBTC • Long: Pullback to $84,200–$84,600, 1h close not below $83,850 • Stop loss: $83,250 (only exit if 1h close breaks below) • Targets: $85,800 / $86,800 • Deeper range still open: $82,200–$82,600, stop loss $81,450 • Short: Rally again to $87,150–$87,500 and 1h close bearish • Stop loss: $88,150 • Targets: $85,800 / $84,600 • Invalidated: 1h close >$87,750AMD's market value surpassing one trillion drives chip stocks into a frenzy, with hot money overflowing but not benefiting CL, which instead weakens against the trend.

Down 1.2% in 24 hours, quoted at 93.01, intraday high of 94.77 before falling back, low at 91.13. Turnover only 11.028 million, volume is weak.

The top 10 bid-ask ratio is 0.86, selling pressure dominates. 1-hour decline from high -4.87%, 4-hour rise but still -8.40% from high, rebound is weak. Strategy: light short positions can be tried at a rebound to 93.87, stop loss at 94.53, target at 91.46. If it pulls back to 91.32 and stabilizes, short-term long positions can be taken, stop loss at 90.67, target 92.85.

I usually don't chase this kind of move; most likely it will consolidate sideways first, then pull back for confirmation. $BTC weekly chart has reclaimed the 50-week moving average, indicating a bullish bias. But the 83,000 to 86,000 range is a dense chip area, and profit-taking hasn't fully digested yet. Support is at 85,000–85,300 and 82,000–82,500, resistance at 86,000–86,600 and 88,000–90,000. The mid-term structure is upward, but I'm uncomfortable adding positions at the current price level. $ETH I feel more confident about: on-chain activity shows continuous BTC being swapped for ETH to stake, exchange reserves remain low, spot is stronger than futures, and the capital flow is relatively clean. Support at 2,700, 2,630–2,660; resistance at 2,800, 3,000. If 2,630–2,660 holds, there is room to the upside. $SOL after breaking 110 squeezed out a round of shorts, with futures volume once about ten times spot. It rises fast and pulls back fast; institutional buying is present but much thinner than BTC. Support at 115–116, 110–113; resistance at 120, 123–126.

Russian cross-border payment company A7 was exposed for transferring at least $6.9 billion through shell companies, forged invoices, and global banking channels, and selling tens of billions of USDT to Russian clients. The market interprets this as negative for USDT and the stablecoin compliance narrative. What’s more worth watching is the regulatory response: on one side, whether there will be follow-up actions like naming, freezing addresses, or tightening related channels; on the other side, whether the paths for large fund flows will become more sensitive as a result. Are you more concerned about the speed of regulatory follow-up or the scope of impact on transaction channels? Apple and Google are starting to compete for stablecoin talent—which coins should they really target? I don't think this news can be simply interpreted as "Apple and Google are going to issue tokens." Currently, neither company has announced plans to issue their own stablecoins, but the recruitment positions have clearly covered stablecoins, tokenized deposits, blockchain, and payment infrastructure. What truly deserves analysis is: If Big Tech starts integrating stablecoins into the payment system, who is most likely to benefit from this wave of growth? For the first tier, I'll start with USDC and USDT. The reason is simple: they already have mature liquidity, transaction depth, and global use cases. If Apple really introduces stablecoins into Apple Pay in the future, or if Google further promotes stablecoin payments, the most realistic path is not to create a new coin, but to first connect with existing mainstream stablecoins. The second tier is OUSD. This is actually the variable I think is worth discussing separately. Behind Open Standard are many institutions such as Visa, Mastercard, Stripe, Coinbase, BlackRock, and Google, and OUSD is not simply designed as a dollar stablecoin, but to distribute reserve yields to participants. Therefore, if Big Tech and payment giants become more deeply involved in the OUSD ecosystem in the future, its potential is not just "another stablecoin," but could become a connecting layer between payment companies, internet platforms, and on-chain dollars. The third category is RLUThe more critical the key point, the stronger the market's confusion; to judge a trader's level, just see how they handle the recent market. Figure 1 shows the logic for onboarding some altcoins from the internal notice on 9.19-9.20: Speaking of altcoins, we must mention the altcoin king Ethereum. ETH's rhythm is slightly slower than BTC, but it has already stood above the Gann angle line 2/1 of the entire downtrend segment, so the view from yesterday's video remains unchanged: As shown in Figure 3, as long as ETH can maintain above the Gann angle line 2/1 this week, the upward momentum remains. After breaking through and stabilizing at the resistance level of 2730-2750, the nearest resistance above is at 2820-2830. Consecutive breakthroughs of these two points will open up the upper space, with 3320 needing close attention. Even if 2730-2750 is resisted, as long as there is no significant pullback, the overall trend will not be affected. #BTC冲高$87000,加密总市值重返3万亿 $BTC $ETH #BTC surged to $87000, the total crypto market cap returned to 3 trillion, mainstream coins warmed up but did not drive SNDK, which remains in its own consolidation, short-term weak with direction yet to break.
