$BTC bounced on 63.8K retesting the MAs Housing data today. US futures flat pre market. Will Bitcoin get a rejection or reclaim?

Once $ETH $BTC positions are closed, it's really a struggle to re-enter a second time! Before closing, seeing the floating profits fluctuate doesn't affect me emotionally, but the moment I close and the profit is in hand, I automatically treat that profit as my own principal. I don't mind if the profit decreases, but losing principal feels really painful. Even though the amounts are the same, the feelings are completely different. Mainly, the closing position last night wasn't very good; I closed at 1876, and now the price fluctuations are very small. If it drops below 1876, I don't want to buy back because that would raise my cost basis, so it would have been better not to exit last night. If it goes above 1876, the highest now is 1881, just 5 points higher, which is too little. I was hoping to catch at least a 10-point move, and there's also the possibility of a pump, but I'm afraid of losing money. It's so painful; human nature is really greedy and fragile. A rebound to just above 1881 shouldn't be a good thing? It means the upward momentum is weak, which is good for shorting. The thoughts I had before closing are impossible to follow through immediately after closing 😖 $ETH

$BICO Come down, come down Target floating profit 1000% then start reducing positions Currently BEAT also floating profit 600%➕ GRVT just started floating profit

$OKB is really strong. Last night, $BTC dropped 2 points before the CPI data release, but OKB was basically unaffected and even rose, showing an independent trend. 1. A few days ago, after the non-farm payroll data boosted rate cut expectations, OKB surged 10%. The normal profit-taking correction from the day before yesterday has ended, and judging by the current momentum, it clearly wants to push higher again. 2. From the current perspective, as long as the price doesn't fall below 88, the overall trend remains upward. Moreover, this is an independent trend relying only on the broader market, X Layer, and the OKX ecosystem. Although it will be affected by the CPI data, it has the potential to maintain an independent trend. 3. Friends who haven't bought OKB can consider building some base positions; there will be opportunities to perform. But don't hold too heavy a position. Those who want to accumulate can choose the low points when everyone is panicking. I previously accumulated some OKB by participating in the flash earning event, so now I feel completely at ease. #财报观察员：AI基建财报接力登场

The storage sector now basically has very little volatility, but trading volume still ranks among the top. It feels like Hynix's trend is somewhat similar to SpaceX's before, where after extreme deleveraging ended, both bulls and bears exited, entering a high turnover + low amplitude accumulation phase. Although the narrative bubble has burst, the fundamentals of Samsung, Hynix, and Micron are indeed solid, especially compared to SpaceX, which has a real profit anchor. Against the backdrop of AI's rapid development, even if we can't say storage will always be in shortage, demand remains strong, especially for HBM and server DRAM, which are indeed in tight supply. NAND supply might be the first to start improving in the future. So the growth ceiling for the three major memory makers should actually be higher than SanDisk's. Currently, Hynix's common stock at 1,420,000 KRW/1000 USD seems to have a decent cost-performance ratio, so I opened a long position again to hold some, while ADRs have a premium, and I don't know when they might suddenly be leveled out. Psychologically, shorting ADRs feels more secure than going long, so I first go long on the common stock. Generally, extreme market conditions last about two weeks, so now positioning for recovery has a much higher success rate than betting on further declines. $SKHYNIX $SNDK

Most people say that staking 42 million ETH is a supply positive, but I don't see it that way. The staked amount has surpassed 42 million, accounting for nearly 35% of the total supply. Many accounts say: ETH is becoming increasingly scarce, supply is locked, and price pressure is reduced. I understand this logic; on the surface, it does hold true. But if you look closely at what has happened with Ethereum this year, you'll find that behind the surge in staking rate is a more complex, even somewhat ironic story. On August 4th, Justin Drake, along with five other Ethereum Foundation researchers, submitted EIP-8361. The core mechanism is "Tapered Issuance Burn": as the staking ratio rises, the proportion of validator rewards that are burned also increases, until the staked amount reaches 50% of the total supply (about 60.25 million ETH), at which point new consensus layer issuance drops to zero. This proposal made me think for a long time. On the surface, EIP-8361 addresses the problem of "over-staking leading to centralization"—indeed, when 35% of ETH is locked in staking contracts, and Lido alone accounts for over 30% of validator share, the centralization risk is real. But here’s the question: who is most disadvantaged by this proposal? The ones most disadvantaged are those currently staking. If you stake ETH today, you earn about 3.5%-4% annualized yield. Once EIP-8361 passes and staking rates continue to climb, your rewards will be automatically diluted by the system until they reach zero at the 50% threshold. In other words, the more people stake, the faster they push the critical point where their own rewards diminish. It’s a bit like the story of everyone desperately pouring water into a pool, unaware that the pool has an ever-growing leak. Now, regarding the DeFi side. Ethereum staking’s base yield has long been regarded as the "risk-free rate anchor" in the DeFi world—interest rate pricing for lending protocols like Aave and Compound is, to some extent, referenced to this anchor. If EIP-8361 pushes this base yield down or even to zero, liquid staking projects that rely on Ethereum staking yields as their product narrative (Lido, Rocket Pool) and LRT protocols (EigenLayer’s EIGEN staking logic) will face valuation shocks. Community controversy over EIP-8361 is still significant. On the Ethereum Magicians forum, some voices directly say: the proposal was submitted just before the Hegotá upgrade deadline, leaving seriously insufficient time for community discussion. This is not an ordinary parameter adjustment; it is a fundamental change to Ethereum’s monetary policy, yet it was pushed through like an emergency bill. This procedural issue alone deserves separate caution. My current judgment is: the probability of EIP-8361 being implemented in 2026 is low, but its very existence already casts a question mark over ETH’s "monetary expectations"—what exactly will Ethereum’s future issuance policy be? Who decides? This uncertainty creates friction for institutions allocating ETH. This is my understanding at this stage, but I leave myself a 30% chance to reverse because if EIP-8361 passes in a modified form with a sufficiently long transition period (the proposal mentions 18 months), the impact might be milder than I expect. For those following ETH staking mechanisms, do you think the impact on the DeFi side will be more severe than the consensus layer issuance itself, or not so much? #现货ETF资金分化，BTC卖压仍在

The One Question Nobody's Asking Everyone's obsessed with price. Will it hit $100k again? Will it drop to $50k? When will we break $126k? Honestly, I think we're all asking the wrong question. $BTC The question that matters right now is this: who's still holding? Not who's buying or selling today. Who's looking at $64,000 and staying calm. Because that tells you everything about the future. $BTC Twenty-three countries hold $BTC. The US has a Strategic $BTC Reserve. Spot ETFs hold over 1.29 million $BTC. These aren't day traders. They're not checking the price every five minutes. They're sitting on their holdings for years. Maybe decades. We have ~20.06 million $BTC mined. Less than a million left. The supply crunch is real. And the entities holding right now? They're not selling. They're accumulating. Quietly. Patiently. While retail panics at every red candle. October 2025 gave us $126,198. The world didn't end. The institutions didn't dump. They held. And they're still holding at $64,000. That's conviction. That's the signal everyone's missing. $BTC The price will recover. It always does. The only question is whether you'll be there when it happens or whether you'll sell to the institutions and buy back at the top like so many have done before. $BTC So I'll ask the question again. Who's still holding? I am. I've been through too many cycles to get $BTC shaken out now. What's your conviction level right now? Are you holding, buying, or selling? Drop your honest answer below. $BTC $BTC $ETH #AIInfraEarningsWatch #CPIToResetFedBets #AIInfraFundingDiverges

#财报观察员：AI基建财报接力登场 $SNDK SanDisk grid floating profit has turned positive. Nearly 3,300 arbitrage trades were executed in 7 days, averaging 470 per day, with grid earnings of 37U, paired loss narrowed to 31U, total profit +5.92U. Previously lost over 30 points but held on hard, now starting to make money. $SPCX The unlock wave did not crash the stock price, which has risen back above the IPO price. But the next batch of 319 million shares unlocking on August 20 is already on the way, and there are 700 million shares in September. Shorts haven't fully exited; currently more than 250 million shares are still shorted. The fundamental direction hasn't changed, I continue holding the grid waiting for the August 13 investor day. SanDisk's fundamentals haven't collapsed, Citibank's 2500 target price remains, and the long-term storage logic is still intact. As long as the forced liquidation price isn't broken, I will hold steady. This week AI infrastructure earnings reports are intensive; data from optical modules, computing power cloud, and equipment manufacturers will verify whether AI capital expenditure is accelerating or slowing down. SanDisk grid closed at 1279 tonight, with an upper range of 1490 and lower range of 1219, enough room to run. Now grid earnings can cover the floating loss of the base position, making the holding mentality much steadier. Continue letting the grid run itself, waiting for what cards SanDisk can play on the 13th investor day.
