#PPI higher than expected, tonight's CPI sets the direction
The US August PPI data exceeded expectations, upstream inflation rebounded, directly pushing up rate hike expectations. The 10-year US Treasury yield is approaching the 5% threshold, triggering a liquidation cascade in the crypto market, with $BTC quickly plunging. As a leading indicator of inflation, rising upstream costs have the market worried that consumer-end CPI will also exceed expectations.
Tonight's CPI will be the key decisive factor, directly influencing the Federal Reserve's decision at the September meeting.
Three scenarios:
1. CPI higher than expected: rate hike probability further increases, US Treasury yields continue to rise, risk assets come under pressure, and crypto is prone to sharp spikes down;
2. CPI meets expectations: market sentiment temporarily eases, but the expectation of sustained high interest rates remains, and the market returns to volatility;
3. CPI lower than expected: rate hike trades retreat, bringing an emotional rebound, but a single data point is unlikely to reverse the macro trend.
Personal view: The PPI exceeding expectations has already given the market a warning in advance, lowering the tolerance for tonight's CPI.
1. Do not treat a single inflation data point as a trend reversal signal; even if CPI cools down, it does not mean an immediate rate cut; if data is hot, it does not mean a sustained one-sided crash.
2. Data releases often see buying on expectations and selling on facts; market volatility will be amplified by leverage, with altcoins experiencing more intense fluctuations than BTC.
3. Currently, the crypto market is also affected by ETF fund outflows and the CLARITY Act vote; macro factors are only one part, so do not focus solely on CPI for trading. Central banks of the US, Japan, and Europe are simultaneously tightening liquidity! Japan's rate hike probability is 97%, Europe makes the first move, Bitcoin at 76000 awaits CPI to decide its fate
Global liquidity gates are closing, and this wave is no small matter.
Japan: The swap market has priced the probability of a rate hike next week at 97%, moving from 1.0% toward 1.25%, approaching a 31-year high. Once the yen carry trade reverses, the liquidation will be like a receding tide, first crashing high leverage.
Europe: Raised rates again last night, deposit rate at 2.5%, and signaled that inflation will remain above target for a long time. Middle East oil prices add fuel, forcing the ECB to tighten despite difficulties.
US: PPI overall is not soft, core slightly cools down, signals conflict. However, funds have already rushed ahead for an October rate hike; tonight's CPI is the final verdict.
My judgment: All three are tightening liquidity together. The most dangerous is not the rate hikes themselves, but the chain liquidation of hundreds of billions of dollars in yen carry trades. The August 2024 episode is still fresh, with BTC plunging over 20% in a week, and positions are even more crowded now. 76000 is not an iron bottom, just a temporary stand before the referee's whistle.
Workers don't earn much in a day; don't catch a flying knife at this level. Before CPI is released, move less and wait for the cards to be dealt.
#PPI、CPI接连公布，美联储迎关键两日
#BTC现货ETF大额流入后转负
#BTC与黄金90日相关性升至+0.50 Oracle Up, Adobe Down: AI rally is not finished, but easy AI hype pump era is finished! Both earnings prove one thing - Wall Street no longer buys AI story, they only reward companies who actually make money from AI. Oracle: Q1 Sales $19.3B (+30% YoY), Cloud infra +121% YoY, FY27 target lifted to $90B. Stock +7% after hours because demand, bookings, sales and guidance all strong. Adobe: Sales $6.76B (+13% YoY), AI ARR +150% YoY, yet stock -2.3% after hours. Everyone asking: AI so strong but totaLast night’s PPI came in hotter than expected, and historically, the probability of tonight’s CPI also exceeding expectations is relatively high. As a result, rate-hike expectations have been steadily increasing, putting additional pressure on the market.
However, Trump’s choice of Walsh is not necessarily aligned with a higher-rate policy. sdOh ho, brothers, why short altcoins? The mainstream coins are steadily falling, the market is dropping every day, and our $BTC is so good, steadily making profits!
Today, Bitcoin fell below the $77,000 mark under multiple macroeconomic negative impacts, with a 24-hour drop of 3.165%, hitting an intraday low of $76,464, a near one-week low. My short position at 76,609 is already steadily profitable.
The driving force behind this drop is not internal issues within the crypto circle, but systemic tightening of the macro environment.
First, PPI data triggered rate hike panic. The US August PPI rose 5.4% year-on-year, far exceeding the market expectation of 5.1%. The 30-year US Treasury yield climbed to 5.353%, the highest level in 19 years. CME data shows the probability of a rate hike in September has surged to about 70%. For Bitcoin, which generates no cash flow, a risk-free rate above 5% significantly raises holding costs.
Second, the liquidation wave forms a negative feedback loop. In the past 24 hours, $454 million worth of positions were liquidated across the network, with long positions accounting for $360 million or 79%, affecting 96,485 traders. After the PPI data release, over $190 million of long positions were forcibly liquidated within 60 minutes, creating a "drop—liquidation—further drop" chain.
Third, funding rates weaken. The funding rate is currently only +0.0039%, longs are still paying but very mildly, indicating leveraged longs are being punished. Meanwhile, spot ETFs have seen net outflows totaling over $147 million in two consecutive days, weakening buying power.
Technically, RSI has dropped to 31.97, close to oversold but not yet bottomed. The $76,000-$77,000 support zone is critical; if broken, a quick drop to $74,000-$75,000 may follow.
No matter how aggressively altcoins rally, one correction wipes them out. Shorting BTC steadily profits; this is the right path. Brothers, do you think BTC will drop to $75,000? Let's discuss in the comments!

#PPI高于预期，今晚CPI定方向 After yesterday's PPI release
I started to feel that the market situation was a bit unfavorable
After the US PPI was announced yesterday, I actually became more cautious than before.
August PPI rose 0.4% month-on-month and has reached 5.4% year-on-year. On the surface, the month-on-month figure meets expectations, but the underlying data is not good: commodity prices rose 1.1% in a single month, energy rose 4.2%, and diesel surged 24.1%. More notably, the PPI excluding food, energy, and trade services also rose 0.3%.
This indicates that the current inflation pressure is no longer just an oil price issue; some costs are spreading to transportation, aviation, healthcare, and other sectors.
The market quickly repriced. After the PPI release, the probability of a 25 basis point rate hike by the Federal Reserve in September rose from about 62% to around 70%.
So I have been reducing risk recently, not because I suddenly turned bearish on cryptocurrency, but because the macro environment is indeed starting to feel uncomfortable.
The real determinant for the next move is still tonight's CPI.
The market currently expects CPI month-on-month +0.4%, core CPI +0.2%. If the core data also significantly exceeds expectations, then the PPI will no longer be an isolated data point, and the market may start trading "inflation resurgence + Federal Reserve rate hikes again". #PPI高于预期，今晚CPI定方向 $BTC $ETH $ZEC #财报观察员：甲骨文AI云收入增121%
The core of Oracle's latest earnings report is not about how impressive the numbers are, but that it has answered half of the question "Can AI make money?" AI cloud revenue grew by 121%, faster than last quarter's 93%, and the remaining performance obligations increased from 638 billion to 664 billion, indicating that the orders are not just promises but are being fulfilled. A 1.6% rise after hours is not much, but the market is willing to give positive feedback, showing that the logic of this earnings report is recognized.
Adobe is in an awkward position. Despite beating expectations and raising guidance, its shares fell 2.29% after hours. The problem is not the numbers but the pace—the market wants to see if AI features have brought real subscription growth.
The comparison between Oracle and Adobe perfectly illustrates that the AI narrative has entered its second phase: previously it was about who invested more and had a louder story; now it's about who can turn investment into revenue. Oracle sells the shovels, with high revenue visibility; Adobe uses the shovels, and the market's patience for its AI monetization is clearly much lower.
For BTC, this logic is indirect. AI infrastructure capital expenditure is still expanding, with Microsoft, Amazon, and Oracle all investing heavily in building data centers. Fiat currency credit continues to be consumed, and the long-term narrative for non-sovereign assets remains unchanged. But short-term pricing power lies with the CPI, and the level at 76,900 is sideways; the direction will be revealed tonight. Financial data is the entry ticket, but the ability to deliver is the pricing anchor. I agree with this, and it applies not only to AI companies but also to crypto projects.$WLD USDT is at $0.3963, and the interesting part isn’t the original rally — it’s how quickly the catalyst faded. Kalshi’s regulated WLD futures launch helped push WLD toward $0.5059 on Sept. 8. Since then, price has fallen back toward $0.40, with OKX showing today’s low near $0.3947. That tells me the market still needs to prove that the new access point creates sustained demand, rather than just a short-lived liquidity event. Bias: WAIT I’m watching $0.3947. If it holds and WLD reclaims $0.40The initiative held for twenty-one months changed hands overnight. For the first time, the open interest in altcoin perpetual contracts surpassed that of Bitcoin. This is not just the gain or loss of a single piece; it is a shift in the entire board's momentum. From the perspective of a grandmaster, I must tell you: the accumulation of chips never indicates direction; it only represents the volume of the powder keg.
Bitcoin perpetual open interest stands at $23.9 billion, accounting for about 37% of the total. This ratio itself is a signal. When the troop density on the main battlefield decreases, and the flanks begin to stack densely, the first thing you should do is not cheer but press your finger on the chess clock and recalculate every move. Ethereum, Solana, Ripple, ZEC—these pieces each occupy new squares, and their combined advance loosens the central area.
Pay special attention to ZEC. Its open interest has climbed to about $2.4 billion. When the price broke through the $1,000 mark, approximately $34 million in shorts were forcibly liquidated. This is the scenario I am most familiar with and most alert to in my profession: a sacrifice to lure the enemy, forcing them to concede on the wrong square. Short liquidations are the market making tactical exchanges for you, but what remains after the exchange is a more open midgame, not the safety of an endgame. The last time altcoin open interest led was in December 2024, followed by severe pullbacks in several mid-cap tokens, while Bitcoin remained steady as a throne. History does not repeat the exact moves but repeats the structure.
Next, look at the linkage between US stock token targets and the broader market. These targets are essentially another partition of the same game, dragging traditional financial troop formations into the crypto midgame. When leverage stacks in the same direction at the same time, any unexpected move will trigger a chain reaction of exchanges. Rising open interest means rising leverage, not rising direction. I have seen too many players mistake heat for advantage, only to be checkmated by a simple restraint on the 30th move.
True strength is not counting how many troops you have but how much breath your opponent still has. In this game, the flanks are crowded, the center is suspended, and the king’s surroundings seem calm but actually have fuses buried in every square. My judgment is simple: the initiative has already been handed over; now let’s see who makes the first mistake. #altperpoitopsbtcFor tonight's CPI, I lean towards "neutral to slightly bearish for BTC," but the real direction is not decided solely by the year-over-year CPI, rather by whether the core CPI and month-over-month figures exceed expectations. Current market expectations: CPI YoY 3.4%, core CPI YoY 2.4%, CPI MoM about +0.4%, core CPI MoM about +0.2%. My forecast * 🟢 Below expectations: CPI ≤3.3% / core ≤2.3% → rate cut expectations rise → USD and interest rates weaken → BTC leans bullish * 🟡 Meets expectations: 3.4% / 2.4% → initial volatility with wicks up and down * 🔴 Above expectations: CPI ≥3.5% or core ≥2.5% → rate hike expectations rise → BTC short-term bearish Currently, the complications are rising oil prices, strong PPI, and tariff pressures, all of which may cause inflation stickiness to rise again. Additionally, tonight's CPI is an important inflation data point before the Fed meeting on September 15–16. The market has already significantly raised rate hike expectations for September, so volatility tonight may be relatively high. This article mainly discusses whether the increase in BTC reserves on Binance represents potential selling pressure or is possibly just a fund transfer; the author believes that the real determinant of tonight's market movement is still the CPI.
First, regarding the "exchange reserves increase." If BTC is transferred from personal wallets to exchanges, it could indeed mean it will be easier to sell in the future, so the market sometimes views it as potential selling pressure. However, **"transferring to an exchange = definitely preparing to sell" is not true**, because exchanges themselves may have reserve changes due to user deposits, custody, internal fund management, or other reasons. Recently, there is data showing Binance's BTC reserves have clearly increased; for example, CryptoQuant reported at the end of August that Binance's BTC reserves reached about 687,000 BTC.
The SAFU 15,000 BTC mentioned in the article is a different matter. Binance officially states that the BTC reserve for SAFU (Secure Asset Fund for Users) is 15,000 BTC; the related purchase has been completed, so it cannot be simply understood as "another 15,000 BTC will suddenly enter the market tonight."
Therefore, what the author really wants to express is: the increase in exchange BTC reserves is indeed worth attention, but one should not jump to the conclusion of "imminent market dumping" just by seeing "reserve increase." It is also necessary to consider ETF fund flows, on-chain transfers, trading volume, and actual price reactions together to make a judgment. $BTC Tonight at 20:30, the US August CPI will be released
The probability of a 25 basis point rate hike is 69.4%, and the probability of no rate hike is 30.6%
Slightly down from the previous 73%, indicating the market has slightly converged its rate hike expectations before the data
Market sentiment is in a highly sensitive defensive state, and volatility will be intense tonight, with the vast majority bearish
At times like this, be cautious of a "sell-off exhaustion" rebound — if the CPI just meets or is slightly below expectations, funds betting on a rate hike may close positions, triggering a short-term rebound
#OKX预言家：来星球玩预测 #PPI高于预期，今晚CPI定方向 The $13.3B ARR is not fireworks; it’s the poured, load-bearing floor slab— the load is genuinely pressing down, and no one should pretend it’s still just a rendering.
I’ve worked on supertall buildings, and the biggest fear is the client holding a rendering saying: this building will be delivered next year. In this data, there are truly three load-bearing structures: the annualized revenue signed from intelligent computing power hosting is the concrete already poured into the columns; the Starship’s 14th flight carrying mass-produced V3 Starlink satellites and starting to generate revenue is like lifting prefabricated components onto a real floor for the first time, moving beyond the showroom; the 2027 orbital computing power satellite network is a long-term plan still on the drawing board, without even a stamped geological survey report.
Look at the structure, not the facade. The $1.33 billion means this column has passed static load testing, and the foundation’s bearing capacity has been verified once, making the subsequent $10 billion annual target’s floor area ratio calculable. But note, climbing from $1.33 billion to $10 billion within a year is not adding floors, it’s changing the structural system—from a frame structure to a giant core tube plus cantilever truss. Any failure at any node in between would cause nonlinear settlement of the entire building.
The Starlink V3 mass production launch is moving the curtain wall units from the factory to the site. This is the most critical step in the commercial closed loop: previously it was a conceptual proposal report; now it’s the acceptance of the first-floor structure. Generating revenue means the workflow is clear, the MEP shafts are connected, and fire evacuation calculations pass. As for the orbital computing power satellites, the direction is attractive, but they belong to planning conditions not yet drawn—on-orbit heat dissipation, radiation shielding, power supply, ground return links, each is the toughest seismic code requirement, and the timeline is never something the architect can promise alone.
Looking further down to the foundation: rockets are vertical transport systems, satellites are standardized prefabricated components, and computing power is the suddenly added ten floors of data centers in this new building. Data centers have extremely heavy loads and strict requirements for vibration, temperature control, and redundant power supply. Hanging the heaviest MEP systems into near-Earth orbit is like stuffing the heaviest equipment into the most fragile structure—this is an engineer’s nightmare and the entire valuation’s suspense.
So the linked reading is simple. The market is pricing a construction drawing, not a delivery standard. Drawings can be changed, supervisors can be replaced, general contractors can be re-tendered. The only two things that won’t be rewritten are: geological survey data and the floor slabs already bearing load. The $1.33 billion is the former; the $10 billion is the dashed line on the drawing.
Pre-sale prices never reflect structure, only the buyer’s imagination. #spacexeyes100barr$BTC anchors on "settlement finality." It does not engage in throughput arms races but uses PoW and global node consensus to solidify an immutable on-chain ledger—its moat is not block production speed but the path dependency that, after multiple halvings and regulatory crackdowns, still leads pension funds and trusts to include it in their allocation models.
$ETH anchors on "programmable liquidity." It is not limited to being a decentralized ledger but abstracts smart contracts, the EVM execution environment, and cross-domain interoperability into an iterable middleware. The premium of this chain lies not in cheap block space but in the stablecoin settlement volume it carries, the depth of on-chain derivatives, and the LRT narrative, weaving a self-expanding crypto credit network.
$SOL anchors on "state synchronization rate." It uses parallel execution and the Sealevel runtime to achieve a second-level confirmation experience for high-frequency trading matching, on-chain order flow, and DePIN node clusters.
Essentially, the three represent three trade-offs of the blockchain "impossible trinity": BTC trades script limitations for maximum trustlessness, ETH trades layered architecture for composable flexibility, and SOL trades hardware thresholds for end-to-end determinism. During cycle rotations, BTC is resistant to downturns but slow to recover, ETH is driven by developer activity, and SOL is extremely sensitive to TPS utilization and voting rates—the volatility structures differ precisely because their underlying trade-offs have forked.
#PPI高于预期，今晚CPI定方向 #财报观察员：甲骨文AI云收入增121% #BTC现货ETF连续流出 Brothers, I'll be straightforward. Tonight's CPI, the real focus of the whole market isn't the overall figure, but that 0.1% month-on-month core number.
The market expectation is roughly like this: overall month-on-month 0.4%, with a significant contribution from energy; core month-on-month 0.2%, year-on-year continuing to fall to 2.4%. But if the core rounds up from 0.2% to 0.3%, the tone changes, and rate hike expectations might be immediately re-priced.
Core beats expectations: the dollar strengthens, risk assets take a hit first. BTC has a hard ceiling at 78,000, and if it breaks below 75,500, the correction space opens up; $ETH is more resilient, and if good news really comes out, the rebound will be fiercer. Altcoins like SOL, ZEC, and $DOGE are most sensitive to liquidity, so bad news will first drain them. $ZEC has privacy narratives supporting it, but volatility will increase tonight, chasing highs is risky.
If the core holds steady at 0.2%: there will be a wave of recovery rebound, but don't rush to call it a reversal; the key still depends on how the Fed will express itself later. Before the data, risk aversion is heavy, don't take sides prematurely, it's not too late to act after the cards are revealed.With funding rates turning positive, comments are once again shouting "Bears are about to explode." Don't rush to conclusions yet. Currently, the fees on major exchanges have only slightly turned positive. It's true that short selling requires payment, but it's still far from extreme levels, so this can't really be called a short-chasing signal. What truly deserves caution is when rates hit extreme highs and long positions pay painfully—that's the real fuel for a reversal caused by crowded trading. The current mild positive value is more like saying that both bulls and bears are currently evenly matched. If you use this as a guideline, it's no different from predicting a "cloudy" forecast and predicting heavy rain tomorrow. Data is meant to be read, not to fill in the brain. $BTC From another angle, the funding rate indicator essentially reflects the sentiment temperature of leveraged funds. Its mild positive turn indicates that bullish leverage demand is slightly gaining the upper hand, but it's far from the frenzy of nationwide all-in sales. Historically, several major pullbacks have mostly occurred after rates remain high and long leverage is piling up, not at the moment the market turns positive. This delicate balance now actually gives the market more breathing room and observation, so there's no need to be alert over a small change in numbers. From a trading psychology perspective, the most common misjudgment triggered by positive rates is treating it as a declaration that the air force is running out. But in reality, a real bear stamp usually requires spot buying to keep pushing forward and contract long positions to increase pressure before triggering a chain reaction. The current situation is more like the market is waiting for a clearer directional signal, whether it's macro data or policy news, and both need to be more activeOil prices surged 6%, triggering a global risk-off, with US stocks and BTC under pressure in the afternoon
The core driver is oil prices: WTI closed at $102.48 (+6.69%), Brent crude closed at $107.63 (+6.34%, intraday high of 109), hitting the highest level since May. Iran destroyed a US military drone in the Strait of Hormuz, Saudi Arabia's production dropped to the lowest since 1990, and S&P Global expects Middle East capacity to be difficult to recover before the end of 2027.
Transmission to US stocks and cryptocurrencies: oil prices → imported inflation → strengthened Fed rate hike expectations (September hike probability has risen to 70%) → pressure on risk assets. BTC is currently around $77,200 (24h -1.3%), down more than 6% from the early September high of 82,164; more worrisome is the single-day net outflow of 3,299 BTC from Bitcoin ETFs, indicating short-term weakening of funds. ETH is at $2,450 (-1%).
Directional judgment: US stocks are very likely to open lower tonight (probability about 65%), with tech stocks and cryptocurrencies continuing to be under pressure; but if Iran and Gulf countries release easing signals in talks, oil prices may spike and then fall back, and risk assets may rebound in the short term (probability about 30%). The Fed's September 15-16 meeting is the ultimate variable.
#USStocks #Bitcoin #OilPrices #FedRateHike #Hormuz #Ethereum Don't treat geopolitical issues as a positive factor; first watch the bond market's reaction
Some people are using "escalation of conflict" as a buying reason, claiming that safe-haven funds will flow into Bitcoin. Don't rush; see what the market is really trading.
Key shipping routes are nearly halted, and oil prices are soaring. The core of this pricing round is not risk aversion but inflation. When oil prices rise, inflation expectations immediately increase, interest rate hike bets adjust accordingly, and all risk assets need to be revalued. Talking about "digital gold" at this time is like using an old map to find a new continent.
If you want to see risk aversion, watch the short-term US Treasury yields. If funds are truly seeking safety, short-term yields should fall; if they rise instead, it means the market is pricing in a tighter monetary environment. That is not good news for Bitcoin but pressure.
The correlation between Bitcoin and the Nasdaq is no longer a secret. When risk appetite shrinks, it behaves more like a high-beta tech stock, falling faster than anyone else. It is not a safe haven in a crisis but an offensive tool when liquidity is abundant. Using narratives from five years ago on today's market will only lead to repeated losses.
Geopolitical conflicts push up oil prices, oil prices push up inflation, inflation forces central banks to tighten, and tightening pressures risk assets—Bitcoin stands at the most vulnerable end of this chain. If you don't understand macro transmission, don't rush to bottom-fish. True risk aversion is never about listening to stories but about watching what the bond market is saying. #伊朗允许BTC与USDT外贸结算 10-year US Treasury yield nears 5% threshold, repo operations fail to stop yield rise
The 10-year US Treasury yield touched 4.97% on Friday, while the 30-year yield surged to 5.37%, a 19-year high. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen tried to use repo operations to suppress the long end, but only bought $5.19 billion on Thursday, not even reaching the $6 billion cap, and the market voted with its feet.
The driving factors behind this wave are straightforward: oil price $CL broke $107, PPI surged to 5.4%, and Trump promised to issue $5,000 checks, pushing deficit expectations to the max. The probability of a rate hike in September has already soared to 72%.
For the crypto space, macro pressure is an open card. $BTC has been pressed down from around 82,000 last week to test 77K, while ETH is repeatedly testing around 2,420. In the past 24 hours, total crypto liquidations were about $500 million, mostly long positions getting wiped out. 95 out of the CoinDesk 100 are down.
But one detail is worth watching: long-term holders have basically not moved during this correction; selling pressure mainly comes from leveraged longs being liquidated. BTC spot ETFs saw outflows of about $120 million, while ETH ETFs actually saw inflows of over $34 million, indicating capital is taking sides.
Tonight's CPI is the last variable before the FOMC. If the data is strong, the 4-hour EMA at 73,600 below 77K is the next defense line; if the data is soft, there could be room for recovery after leverage resets. The direction is clear now; what’s missing is the catalyst to land.
#10年期美债逼近5%关口，回购难阻收益率上行 @OKX中文 Last night, Brent crude oil settlement prices surged 6.3%, reaching $107.63 per barrel. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield approached 5%, the highest since October 2023. CME data shows the probability of a rate hike in September soared from 49% a week earlier to 71.3%. Then you see a net outflow of $282.7 million from Bitcoin ETFs. Many people's first reaction is: institutions have left. Wrong. Institutions haven't left; it's because the "price of money" has changed. A transmission chain, break it down to show you: Brent crude oil above 100→ inflation expectations remain stubborn (July PCE year-on-year 3.7%, core PCE 3.3%, well above the 2% target) → Fed forced to take hawkish stance→ holding costs of non-interest-bearing assets soared→ institutions reduced their allocation to BTC/ETH ETP. To put it plainly: US Treasuries are lying and giving you 4.8% returns—why are you holding a Bitcoin that generates no cash flow? This isn't a matter of faith, it's a math problem. So this round of ETF outflows is essentially a tactical rebalancing driven by "rising opportunity cost of interest rates," not a strategic abandonment of crypto assets. What really deserves your attention is this figure: JPMorgan research shows that Bitcoin ETPs have accumulated net inflows of about $58.2 billion, while Ethereum has about $12.6 billion. "Early allocation funds have not yet seen large-scale withdrawals." To put it simply: the position is marginalized, with the bottom position remaining untouched. Now look at the Coinbase Premium Index—negative for five consecutive days, but the latest is only -0.042%.

#PPI higher than expected, tonight's CPI will set the direction
I didn't just suddenly chase the rise when I saw it going up; I was waiting for ETH to reclaim 2450.
Yesterday, ETH dropped from around 2499 all the way down to 2406, then started to stop falling. Today, the lowest retracement was 2432, without making a new low, and the price reclaimed 2450 again, indicating that the 2400–2430 area is temporarily supported.
So I tried to open a long at 2454.
My trading logic is simple:
The area around 2400 held up before, and today’s retracement to 2432 didn’t break below it. Now the price has reclaimed 2450. What I want to do is ride the continuation of this oversold rebound, not fantasize that ETH is starting a big bull market.
The first resistance above is near 2475.
This is the short-term high touched today. If it breaks out with volume, the next target is 2490–2500.
2500 is also a round number resistance, where previous trapped positions and short-term take profits may concentrate. The price might not hold above it on the first touch.
My take profit is set at 2512.
From 2454 to 2512, that’s a total of 58 dollars, about 2.36% price range.
Why not aim higher?
Because 2520–2535 above is still a clear recent resistance zone. Rather than fantasizing about a direct breakout, I prefer to set take profit just before the resistance zone to secure a more certain rebound.
Of course, this long position is not without risk.
First, watch if 2450 can turn from resistance into support. If the price only briefly stays above it, then falls back below 2430 and fails to reclaim it on a rebound, my "retracement ended, strength returning" long logic will fail.
Below that is 2405–2400.
If this area breaks again, ETH won’t just be a normal retracement; it could reopen the downtrend, and then longs can’t just hold on by faith.
So the script for this trade is set:
Hold 2450, break 2475, target 2490–2500, and finally take profit at 2512.
If it breaks below 2430 again, it means my rebound judgment was wrong, and I should exit accordingly.
Just now, MU shorts at 986 were all taken profit, now switching to try an ETH long.

Không phải ETH/BTC. Không phải BTC Dominance. Mà là: GIÁ DẦU. Bởi nếu dầu bước vào một con sóng tăng mạnh và tiến sâu vào vùng ba chữ số... thị trường có thể phải đối mặt với một câu hỏi cực kỳ khó chịu: LẠM PHÁT CÓ THỰC SỰ ĐÃ ĐƯỢC KIỂM SOÁT? Và nếu câu trả lời là “chưa”... câu chuyện hạ lãi suất mà thị trường đang kỳ vọng có thể thay đổi rất nhanh. Tại sao dầuBTC, Dogecoin, and a reinsurance altcoin: three ways to play before the CPI
BTC $BTC 77200 remains the anchor. Oil prices plunged, and the Red Sea ceasefire eased its constraints, but funds are still on hold, hovering around 77000. It’s the master switch for the whole market: if tonight’s core CPI is below 0.2%, it will lead the charge to 80,000; if above 0.3%, breaking the 76350 cost line will push it down to 75,000. Other coins all watch its moves closely—don’t guess at this level, just wait for it to pick a direction.
Dogecoin $DOGE 0.083 has become the emotional discard. This round of meme coins was the first to have funds pulled out, with no buybacks or lockups, relying purely on popularity. When the market volume shrinks, it steadily declines; the 0.08 support is shaky, lacking even the strength for an oversold rebound. Essentially, it’s a contrarian indicator of risk appetite—only when BTC truly stabilizes and the market dares to take risks will it get a breather. Buying it now is betting on a sentiment reversal.
Then there’s a niche pick, $RE at 0.43. Behind it, Re Protocol channels stablecoins into reinsurance contracts via licensed insurance companies, a very specialized "on-chain insurance" segment within RWA. Market cap is 68 million, down 60% from its all-time high of 1.09. The advantage is a unique narrative and low correlation with the broader market; even if the market crashes, it only wobbles a few points. The downside is thin liquidity and low attention—if CPI surprises negatively, it will drop further. Only small positions for stealth accumulation, not a main holding.
Three ways to play: BTC waits for direction, DOGE waits on sentiment, RE waits on rotation. Tonight, watch BTC’s performance first; for the other two, don’t rush to catch the fall or bet heavily.① PPI升温，通胀重新抬头 美国8月PPI同比上涨 5.4%，高于7月的4.8%，环比上涨0.4%。核心PPI同比仍在 4.7% 附近，说明通胀压力并没有真正消失。 数据公布后，市场迅速重新定价降息预期，BTC从79,000美元上方快速回落，短线风险情绪明显降温。 ② 中东局势继续发酵，原油重新站上100美元 美伊冲突持续升级，能源供应风险再次成为市场焦点。WTI一度突破 100美元，最新结算约102美元，布伦特更接近108美元。 油价上涨最麻烦的地方，不只是能源本身变贵，而是它可能继续向运输、生产和消费端传导，进一步推高通胀预期。 ③ 美债收益率飙升，市场开始押注更鹰派的美联储 PPI公布后，9月美联储加息25个基点的概率一度升至 约70%。与此同时，10年期美债收益率逼近 4.95%，30年期甚至冲到 5.36%附近，创下多年高位。 这对BTC、ETH这类高波动风险资产并不友好。 现在市场真正担心的已经不是“一次加息25个基点”这么简单，而是： 油价上涨 → 通胀反弹 → 美债收益率上行 → 加息预期升温 → 流动性进一步收紧。 而今天还有美国CPI这个关键数据等待验证。 所以短The 10-year US Treasury yield has risen above 4.96%, a three-year high, just shy of the 5% mark.
Among 122 respondents, about 30% believe that a range of 5% to 5.25% is enough to cause the US stock market to pull back 10% from its peak. The real meaning of this figure is not a prediction but that the opposing side has already set the trigger line there.
The mechanism behind rising yields is straightforward: risk-free returns become more expensive, compressing the relative attractiveness of stocks. On the passive side are those holding high positions, while the beneficiaries are those waiting to enter at lower prices. The chief economist at RSM says the market is on the edge of a correction, which itself is an expression of positioning.
For now, this is the only confirmed step: expectations form ahead of prices. Next, watch whether the 10-year yield can hold above 5%. If it does and the US stock market does not fall, it means this transmission chain has dulled, and those who drew the line will need to find a new anchor.
#10年期美债逼近5%关口，回购难阻收益率上行 #PPIHotCPINext #OracleAICloudUp121% #BTCSpotETFOutflows Bitcoin has been falling for a week, but is a rebound opportunity coming?
On September 4th, I indicated a negative signal for Bitcoin, and subsequently Bitcoin began to adjust. So far, it has been continuously declining for a week, dropping from a high of 82,300 to a low of 76,460.
From the perspective of capital flow, Coinank data shows that Bitcoin spot funds have experienced net outflows for 5 consecutive days, with a large net outflow exceeding $400 million yesterday.
The cumulative net outflow over the past three days is about $896 million, which has already surpassed the cumulative net inflow of about $892 million during the surge from August 19th to 21st.
Regarding volume and price relationship, the average daily declining trading volume from September 4th to 10th is higher than that from August 28th to September 2nd, indicating that recent selling pressure has indeed increased.
Therefore, from a mid-term perspective, whether considering capital flow or volume-price relationship, the current data still supports my mid-term bearish view. #PPIHotCPINext #OracleAICloudUp121% #BTCSpotETFOutflows #OKX Prophet｜Don't get scared off by the words "interest rate hike"
Every time it's the Fed's rate decision week, the market repeats the same script:
First hype up rate hike expectations, then create panic, and finally see who can't hold on and exits first.
But this time, I actually think there's no need to be overly pessimistic.
Currently, the market's expectation for a rate hike in September has clearly heated up, with the latest pricing reaching about 70%. The market generally expects that if action is taken, it will most likely be a 25 basis point increase. Meanwhile, the 10-year US Treasury yield is approaching 5%, oil prices have risen near $100, and inflation pressure is indeed significant.
But here’s the question:
If the market has already priced in the rate hike expectations, how much additional damage can the actual implementation cause?
BTC has recently been fluctuating around $77,000–$79,000, clearly waiting for CPI and the Fed to provide direction.
So I am now more inclined to believe:
The negative expectations have already been traded in advance; what really needs caution is not the "25 basis points" itself, but whether the Fed will signal continued tightening afterward.
Don’t reflexively turn bearish just because you see the words "interest rate hike."
The market never lacks news; what’s truly scarce is your own judgment.
Personally, I’m not blindly bearish for now; I’ll watch the data and the market’s reaction after implementation first.
$BTC $ETH69 million “ghost tokens” looming: The $CORE oversupply issuance incident, a risk lesson for all retail investors
⚠️This article is based on publicly available on-chain information and does not constitute any investment advice
During the BTCFi bull market wave, $CORE was once a star asset in the hearts of countless retail investors. The Satoshi-Plus hybrid consensus, Bitcoin hash power protection, and a hard cap of 2.1 billion tokens created a narrative that convinced many investors: as long as the total supply is locked, the project inherently has a secure moat. However, the validator reward vulnerability on August 31 taught the market a harsh lesson: an unchanged total supply cap does not mean token release cannot get out of control.
According to on-chain public data, from August 28 to 31, a flaw in the protocol’s reward calculation logic allowed a few malicious validators to exploit the vulnerability and repeatedly claim block rewards. The incident did not exceed the maximum supply of 2.1 billion, nor did it mint new tokens out of thin air, but it prematurely overspent and released a large amount of rewards that were supposed to be gradually distributed over decades, constituting a typical oversupply issuance.
After the crisis broke out, the project initiated a v1.0.26 hard fork without rolling back historical transactions, so ordinary users’ assets were not affected. The protocol burned 150 million abnormal tokens, restoring the ledger’s total supply to 2.1 billion. However, the hard fork had an irreparable flaw: about 69 million abnormal tokens had already circulated to external wallet addresses and could not be recovered through the fork, becoming “ghost tokens” hanging over the market, potentially causing selling pressure shocks at any time.
To this day, the complete technical post-mortem report, the duration of the vulnerability, the list of involved validator nodes, and the full circulation path of these 69 million tokens have not been fully disclosed publicly. This information black box is exactly the risk that institutional funds fear the most.
Many retail investors have a huge misconception: they believe Bitcoin hash power equals absolute security for the entire chain. The reality is that Bitcoin hash power only secures the hashing layer; the code logic for upper-layer reward distribution and node governance can still have fatal vulnerabilities. Hash power endorsement ≠ foolproof security—this is the core lesson of the CORE incident.
CORE’s roadmap is very promising, planning to generate real protocol revenue through LST liquid staking, SatPay payments, and AMP asset management protocols, using business profits to buy back tokens and build a positive value flywheel. But currently, the ecosystem’s fee volume is very small and far from enough to offset the selling pressure caused by token releases. The main driving force in the market remains staking incentives rather than real business profits.
After the incident, exchanges tightened risk controls and delisted CORE’s on-chain earning features, reflecting the market’s straightforward stance. The community often compares CORE to Ponzi schemes. Objectively, CORE’s code is open source, and its on-chain ledger is verifiable, with no hierarchical referral rewards, fundamentally different from Ponzi schemes. But not being a Ponzi scheme does not mean there is no significant risk. Consensus layer vulnerabilities, insufficient information disclosure, and leftover ghost token selling pressure are all real hidden dangers.
The BTCFi sector remains hot, with STX, MERL, and BABY continuously diverting incremental funds. Bull market capital is always pragmatic, prioritizing assets without security stains and with transparent governance. CORE’s mainnet is still operating normally, and the ecosystem continues to iterate, but market consensus has already fractured.
The hard fork only fixed the numbers on the ledger; broken market trust is hard to restore through technical upgrades alone. To regain investor trust, a complete public security post-mortem, continuous ecosystem business implementation, and transparent node governance are required.
This incident also warns all BTCFi participants: when evaluating public chain value, do not blindly trust the total supply cap written in the whitepaper. Token release schedule, code security, and information transparency equally determine a project’s fate. Scarcity on paper is easy to maintain; rebuilding consensus among people is the toughest challenge.$AAVE
Does increased market volatility necessarily benefit lending protocols?
Volatility can increase demand for lending, position swaps, and liquidations, potentially boosting protocol revenue; however, rapid declines in collateral also raise risks of bad debt, oracle delays, and liquidity gaps.
Therefore, the key for AAVE is not whether trading volume suddenly rises, but whether revenue growth is accompanied by worsening risk indicators.
If liquidations proceed smoothly, bad debt remains low, and deposits do not rapidly drain, volatility represents an opportunity; but if collateral ratios and liquidation discounts both deteriorate, even if revenue rises, I would not simply define it as positive.Tonight at 20:30 (Beijing time), the US August CPI will be released. Don't just guess whether it will be "above or below expectations." What's more worth watching is whether energy costs have started to pass from upstream to the consumer end.
The BLS announced on September 10 that the August PPI rose 0.4% month-over-month and 5.4% year-over-year; excluding food, energy, and trade services, it still rose 0.3% month-over-month and 4.7% year-over-year. This wave of pressure mainly comes from the goods side: final demand energy rose 4.2% month-over-month, with diesel jumping 24.1%. In other words, the market is facing not just oil price headlines, but also rising transportation and business costs.
The bond market has already reacted. US Treasury data shows the 10-year Treasury yield closed at 4.95% on September 10, up 12 basis points in one day; the 2-year rose 13 basis points to 4.56%. At 19:34 today, BTC was about $76,843 on OKX and Binance, down about 1.5% in 24 hours, ranging between $76,464 and $78,055.
Before the FOMC on September 15–16, if the CPI is still on the hot side, expectations for "higher interest rates lasting longer" will continue to compress crypto asset valuations; if the data cools down, we also need to see whether yields really fall back, not just look at the first candlestick. Will you look at core CPI first, or energy transmission? After the data is released, are you more concerned about BTC's direction or whether the 10-year yield can return below 4.9%?
Personal opinion, for reference only. #BTC #USInflation #FOMC#PPI高于预期，今晚CPI定方向 今晚八点半，美国8月CPI就要出来，这算是下周美联储议息之前最重要的一张牌 。 之前PPI数据出来就已经偏强，再加上油价一路往上冲，现在市场已经把9月加息的概率打到七成以上了 。也就是说，现在盘面已经在交易“有可能加息”这件事，而不是之前大家幻想的降息。 这里要分清，别光看整体CPI，油价、食品波动很大，参考价值有限。真正决定市场走向的是核心CPI，尤其是环比，也就是这个月对比上个月的物价变化，这个才是美联储重点盯着的东西。 市场现在的普遍预期，核心CPI环比0.2%，同比2.4% 。 我梳理下几种可能出现的情况： 如果数据出来高于预期，也就是核心环比跑到0.3%以上。那就说明通胀又有抬头迹象，加息预期会进一步抬升。美元和美债收益率往上走，加密这边大概率会承压，山寨币波动会更大。 如果刚好符合预期，那就不会彻底改变现有局面。市场不会有大的单边行情，更多就是震荡，把悬念继续留给下周的议息会议。 要是低于预期，通胀明显降温，那加息的预期会被打下来，风险资产会迎来情绪修复，币圈也会有反弹的机会。 不过有一点要提醒自己，数据出来$DOGE
What does a Meme coin lose first when oil prices and interest rates rise together?
The answer is usually new risk capital. The US stock market has fallen for the fourth consecutive day, with the Russell 2000 index dropping about 1% in a single day, indicating that capital is reducing its tolerance for high-volatility assets.
DOGE has no stable cash flow or rigid on-chain demand to support it, making it especially sensitive to changes in sentiment.
If BTC consolidates while DOGE continues to decline, it means capital is still withdrawing from high Beta assets; if the broader market shows no obvious rebound but DOGE can continuously gain volume and strengthen, then it indicates that sentiment capital is truly returning. A single sharp rally is not enough. Tonight's CPI, I choose not to bet
At 8:30 tonight, the CPI will be released.
The market expects the core annual rate to drop from 2.5% to 2.4%, with the overall annual rate holding at 3.4%. The numbers look like cooling down, but oil prices breaking 100, and PPI soaring to 5.4%, the market has long been worried. The probability of a rate hike has surged from 59% to 71%.
There's an interesting data point — in the last three CPI releases, BTC rose more than 5% within 8 days. But that was the past, not the future.
I didn't open any new positions today. The 76,000 support has been repeatedly tested, ETFs have had net outflows for three consecutive days, and bulls have been liquidated wave after wave. Betting heavily on direction at times like this is no different from flipping a coin.
Wait for the data to come out. Once the direction is clear, then act. #PPIHotCPINext #OracleAICloudUp121% #BTCSpotETFOutflows The core meaning of this article is: the author believes that the overheated PPI has brought short-term pressure to the crypto market, but he thinks the medium- to long-term logic has not been broken for now. The real key is whether tonight's CPI will continue to be overheated.
The author says the PPI year-on-year reached 5.4%, higher than expected, so the market is more worried about the Federal Reserve's policy, even pushing the rate hike expectation to about 70%. Under this sentiment, BTC once dropped to about $76,700, and ETH also fell back to about $2,440. The phrase "macro pressure" here means that the current price performance of BTC and ETH is suppressed by macro factors such as inflation, interest rate expectations, and US Treasury yields.
He says "I don't look at that wick," where the "wick" refers to the candlestick shadow left after a sudden rapid price drop or rise. The author believes that such short-term violent fluctuations do not necessarily represent a fundamental change in the trend. His so-called "long-term chips haven't fled, it's just leverage and sentiment washing out" means he thinks long-term holders have not engaged in large-scale panic selling; the current violent fluctuations are more likely caused by leverage position liquidations and changes in market sentiment. However, this is the author's interpretation of the market and does not equal proven fact.
Next, he says "tonight's CPI is the referee," meaning that PPI is just a previous important data point, and the real factor for the market to reassess inflation is the CPI. If the core CPI is relatively mild, the market may reduce concerns about rate hikes, Brothers, the Federal Reserve is really having a tough time this round.
Originally, the market was still expecting a rate cut, but one PPI figure completely shattered those expectations. In August, the US PPI rose 5.4% year-over-year, hitting a new high for the year, and the market's expectations for a rate hike in September suddenly surged.
But I think the most noteworthy thing this time isn’t whether they will hike rates or not, but rather—can the Fed really solve this round of inflation by raising rates?
Oil prices have risen; can Fed rate hikes make oil prices fall?
Refineries are broken; can rate hikes fix the refineries?
Transportation is blocked; can rate hikes immediately restore shipping?
The answer is obviously no to all.
So what the Fed is truly afraid of this time may not be the PPI itself, but the inflation expectations getting out of control again.
Because what it has to protect is not just inflation, but its own credibility.
And what the US stock market really fears isn’t the 25 basis points.
What it fears most is the market suddenly realizing: the rate cut scenario for 2026 might not go so smoothly.
If the 10-year US Treasury yield continues to approach 5%, the valuation pressure on the Nasdaq and high-valuation tech stocks is probably just beginning.
So what I’m most focused on next isn’t whether the Fed hikes rates, but—how much further long-term bond yields can rise.
I’m really begging you, Powell, let’s not raise rates this time, let’s be tough once! Make my $DOGE $BTC great again, and let the US stock market hit new highs again! Okay? #PPI高于预期，今晚CPI定方向 #10年期美债逼近5%关口，回购难阻收益率上行 ZEC went from a short squeeze to a pullback; this wave is finally starting to cool down.
Just a week ago, it was still aggressively accumulating, with ZCSH's two-week scale reaching about $500 million. The market once regarded it as a super catalyst in the privacy sector, and ZEC steadily approached a stage high.
But now the market situation has changed.
Around September 10, the overall market weakened. Before the CPI release, ZEC experienced a single-day pullback of over 13%, with the price dropping back near $1000.
I actually think this drop doesn't mean the privacy narrative is over, but rather that the previously overcrowded leverage is starting to be cleared out.
Previously, the open interest in contracts piled up too high, with shorts being squeezed and longs chasing the rally; both sides were increasing leverage. Once the price stopped pushing higher, profit-taking and high-leverage positions triggered a simultaneous liquidation.
#PPIHotCPINext #OracleAICloudUp121% #BTCSpotETFOutflows 目前资金面出现一个值得注意的分化：此前数据显示，ETH 现货 ETF 单日净流入约 3475 万美元，而 BTC ETF 同期净流出约 1.2 亿美元，ETH/BTC 也重新回到阶段高位。 但宏观压力还没解除。 昨天公布的美国 PPI 同比上涨 5.4%，能源价格反弹叠加中东局势，让市场重新担心通胀继续升温；目前市场对下周美联储加息的预期已经明显提高，今天的 CPI 就成了真正的关键变量。 📌 关键位置： 支撑：2425–2445 跌破后看 2385 附近 压力：2505–2535 只有放量突破并站稳，才有机会继续冲击 2600–2650 所以 ETH 现在虽然比 BTC 强一点，但还不能急着下结论。 PPI已经给了市场压力，接下来就看 CPI 能不能把这颗雷真正引爆。 CPI偏冷 → 风险资产有望反弹，ETH可能继续相对强势。 CPI继续升温 → 加息预期进一步升高，ETH上方压力会明显加大。 今晚数据出来之前，ETH更适合看结构，不适合盲目追方向。 #ETH #BTC #PPI #CPI #美联储 #以太坊Does this mean a bull market is coming by the end of the year?
BIT analysts pointed out two catalysts: U.S. debt breaking the psychological 40 trillion mark, and U.S. Treasury yields approaching 5%.
Since July 24, BTC has risen 22%, gold 9.4%, which indeed aligns with this logic.
Using a macro cycle model, they judge that we are currently in the first phase of cyclical re-inflation, usually accompanied by a weakening dollar and rising commodities. Historical data shows that in this phase, the annualized returns are about 29% for U.S. stocks, 47% for gold, and approximately 73% for $BTC.
Additionally, from 2020 to 2026, U.S. debt has a compound annual growth rate of 8.59%, M2 grows 6.02%, both far exceeding the CPI of 4.11%, indicating long-term inflationary pressure is accumulating.
The logic is self-consistent, but the "annualized 73%" figure is based on historical backtesting, not a guarantee #PPIHotCPINext #OracleAICloudUp121% #BTCSpotETFOutflows 如果哪天暖气公司告诉我，家里的热水是挖比特币顺手烧出来的，我第一反应大概是：行，别让我跟着币价忽冷忽热就好。 芬兰还真有人把这件事做成了生意。MARA 在 2024 年启动当地余热供暖试点，后来在财报里披露，两个项目接入的社区合计接近 8 万居民。先别脑补成 8 万户家家摆矿机，也不是整个冬天全靠它们供热。 机器留在机房，热量通过水和原有管网送出去。今年 1 月的报道提到，这些系统按全年基础用热需求设计，到了冬天，电锅炉和生物质锅炉还要补上额外的热。矿机接了一份副业，没把其他同事全开除。 这个点子我挺喜欢。过去机器发热，运营方得想办法把热散掉；现在附近正好有人需要热，还愿意为它付钱。一份电费背后，多了一项可以卖的东西。比起只盯着币价，这至少给矿企增加了另一条收入来源。 但听到“边挖币边供暖”，很容易顺嘴变成“电等于白用”。这一步我不跟。 如果一家公司已经要开矿场，顺手回收余热，和为了供暖专门再建一个矿场，是两笔账。前者讨论怎么少浪费，后者必须回答：同样一笔投入，还有没有更合适的供热办法？热泵可以搬运环境里的热，不能只拿矿机跟普通电暖器比一轮，就宣布胜出了。 当然，换设备、改管网也要钱。This passage mainly discusses that the combination of AI and cybersecurity may generate a very large long-term computational demand.
NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang believes that cybersecurity could become one of the next important application scenarios for AI, and that such AI security systems might "run continuously." The meaning here is that in the future, AI will not just occasionally help analyze a security event but may continuously monitor network traffic, devices, accounts, and abnormal behaviors, automatically analyzing any suspicious activity once detected.
The author further connects this viewpoint with CRWD (CrowdStrike) and PANW (Palo Alto Networks). Since these two companies belong to the cybersecurity field, if cybersecurity gradually adopts this always-on AI inference, the amount of data that needs to be processed and analyzed daily could increase significantly. Data being continuously fed into AI models for detection means that the demand for computing, cloud infrastructure, and AI platforms may increase.
However, it is important to distinguish two things here: "The use of AI in cybersecurity will increase" is an industry trend judgment, whereas "CRWD and PANW will definitely rise because of this" is not a guaranteed outcome. Stock prices are also influenced by many factors such as company revenue, profits, valuation, competition, and overall market sentiment. Brother Ci's public order: reasons and strategies along with my pending orders shared simultaneously
Just glanced at the liquidation map, a big whale near 76000 is being cornered. The 75588 level is exactly the dividing line between bears and bulls.
Last night, after the PPI data dropped, BTC briefly fell to around 76000 but did not break it. After four consecutive daily declines, the price hit the lower Bollinger Band with the three bands converging, indicating the market is about to choose a direction. The 76000 to 77000 range has been tested several times recently, each time quickly pulled back, showing there is real buying support below. Analysts from 21Shares also said that around 77000 is the current support zone.
The macro environment is in a tug of war. The PPI year-over-year at 5.4% indeed exceeded expectations, and the probability of a rate hike in September surged to 70%, but tonight's CPI is the real judge. If core inflation unexpectedly cools and rate hike expectations fall, BTC has a chance to quickly rebound and test 77500 to 78500.
#PPIHotCPINext #OracleAICloudUp121% #BTCSpotETFOutflows OI shows that the last dump pulled in lots of shorts, and this little pump is fuelled by aggressive shorts closing. For longs, there are two scenario's I'm focussing on for today, both after CPI (08:30 ET). If we sweep the 76.2K PWL we induce more sellers and liquidate buyers, will look for long-triggers when this happens. The 2nd one, the one I prefer, is that CPI triggers a big flash wick sub 75.5K. When this happens, all buyers in this range are wiped out and sellers will enter aggressively. This passage mainly discusses how "cryptocurrency is increasingly influenced by the US macroeconomic environment." The author believes that the US PPI exceeding expectations, combined with rising oil prices, has caused the market to worry that inflation might heat up again, leading investors to reconsider the Federal Reserve's future interest rate policies. Under these circumstances, BTC is under pressure, while ETH and SOL show divergent performance, meaning they do not fully move in sync with BTC.
The most important logical chain in the article is: rising oil prices → increased inflationary pressure → changes in market interest rate expectations → potential rise in the US dollar and US Treasury yields → pressure on risk assets like BTC. The reason is that if the market believes inflation is stubborn, the Federal Reserve's room to cut rates may shrink, or it might maintain higher rates for longer. Higher US dollar interest rates and bond yields usually make investors more cautious about risk assets.
The author then focuses on the CPI and the Federal Reserve meetings. PPI mainly reflects price changes on the production side, while CPI more directly reflects consumer-side inflation, so the market pays special attention to whether CPI continues to cool down. If inflation data does not improve, market concerns about Federal Reserve policies may continue to impact BTC, ETH, and SOL. 热闹归热闹，结构其实没跟上 这波反弹，真是山寨该表现的时候吗？ 昨晚PPI比预期高，BTC一度砸到76500附近，ETH跟着退到2400。盘面看着像"利空落地后的修复"，但我盯了一整天，感觉更像一次被宏观按住的波动阶段，不是趋势重新点火。白天横着走、轻微回暖，晚上还要等CPI，这种节奏最磨人，也最容易让人误判强弱。 我自己的仓也经历了一轮回撤，账面从6880U附近缩到6080U左右，直接少了800U。说不心疼是假的。更气的是SNDK，我扛了一周的空单，实在受不了就保本平了，结果今天它又滑到1666U。那种"我不卖它不跌，我一卖它就跌"的体感，懂的都懂。 但情绪归情绪，结构要看清楚： - BTC在76500一带被接住，说明大资金还没撤，只是不愿意在高波动前追价。 - ETH跌破2400后修复偏慢，汇率上依然弱，说明它不是这轮的领涨核心。 - 山寨更明显，白天有反弹，但量能和持续性都不够，更像是被BTC带着喘口气，而不是自己走出独立行情。 这里有个容易被忽略的点：市场现在交易的不是"利空出尽"，而是"下一次数据会不会更鹰"。PPI已经让降息预期往后挪了一点，CPI如果再来一下，风险偏好会先The same rise in oil prices can tell completely different stories in different countries. Take China and India, the two most compared countries on the Simplified Chinese internet, as an example:
In China, due to reduced supply from the Middle East, some independent refineries are actively adjusting their supply chains. Recently, they have purchased over 20 million barrels of crude oil from West Africa, Canada, and South America, even when some crude oil showed significant premiums. This highlights an important issue: China is not simply buying less oil and shifting to new energy sources; rather, it is restructuring where to buy from, how to buy, and which shipping routes to use. This global trade route restructuring is actually part of energy security.
In India, also one of the world's largest oil importers, after Brent crude prices rose recently, the Indian rupee has fallen back below 95 to 1 USD. The logic is straightforward: oil is more expensive, India needs more dollars to buy oil, dollar demand increases, and the rupee comes under pressure.
For markets like these, the damage caused by rising oil prices is often more direct and brutal than in the US.This week I only did one thing: held onto the short position of $SKHYNIX without moving.
The result was no loss, but no profit either. The lesson is that I took "data manipulation" as the direction.
The moderate inflation readings may not come from an improving economy, but more likely from housing and medical sectors being pre-processed. Good-looking data does not mean the problem is solved, and I judged this correctly.
But the short position was betting on price decline, not on the narrative being correct. The act of manipulating data itself may be serving stability before the interest rate decision. I missed this chain.
Next, watch whether risk assets continue to strengthen before the interest rate decision. If they keep rising, it means the inference that "data manipulation equals bad news" is wrong.

The real key is whether the Federal Reserve will be forced to pivot due to inflation pressure. Currently, the rate hike expectation is still above 60%, which suppresses risk assets in the short term.
Whether the bull market will come by year-end is uncertain, but this macro background is indeed favorable for Bitcoin and gold.

#BTC现货ETF连续流出 BTC oversold bottoming out, ETH resilient and gathering strength — the turning point window is approaching
The market has entered the final stage of consolidation, with sufficient chip exchange and a near-critical tug-of-war between bulls and bears. Key observations are as follows:
BTC: Selling pressure dulls, recovery momentum accumulates
① Extreme indicators: The J values of the daily and 4-hour KDJ fall into the 0-3 range, an unusually oversold level, with limited room for further decline.
② Leverage cooling: Funding rates have fallen back near zero, and open interest slightly rises amid a slow decline, indicating that chasing long positions has exited and a new, more balanced game is underway.
③ Sentiment divergence: The 4-hour long-short ratio is rising, retail bulls have not yet surrendered, and the main force may be completing the final washout through oscillation.
ETH: Trend is relatively strong, reversal conditions increasing
① Relatively firm: Price turns positive against the trend, daily KDJ is neutral, 4-hour lows remain unbroken, showing better resilience than BTC.
② Short interest cost: Funding rates turn negative, short position costs rise, accumulating potential short squeeze pressure.
③ Stable structure: Open interest is steady, long-short ratio remains balanced, and once the overall market stops falling, ETH’s rebound elasticity may be stronger.
Comprehensive strategy:
Deleveraging is nearing its end, and oversold conditions with funding rates near zero often signal an impending turning point. At this time, it is unwise to panic sell or rush to chase gains. Wait for clear stabilization, accumulate in batches at low levels, and keep positions to cope with fluctuations.
