Two days ago, $CORE was hovering around 0.023, looking toward a new all-time low. Today, it suddenly rebounded above 0.028, with a 24-hour gain of +8.9%, and its market cap returned to around $32 million. The market looks lively, but if you compare the candlestick + chain chain, the flavor doesn't quite match. K-line: Rebound Gained, Confidence Still Lacking. In the past two days, CORE has pulled a decent bullish candlestick from its stage low, temporarily regaining the short-term moving average. However, the daily 20/50/200MA remains a standard short range, MACD bars haven't fully closed, and RSI climbed up from 32.5 without a golden cross. Veteran players are familiar with this pattern—the technical corrections in the decline outweigh trend reversals. Two key points to watch: • Volume: During the rebound, trading volume has not significantly expanded, indicating a weak recovery pattern of "some buy at low prices, but no one really buys"; • Resistance: 0.030–0.032 is the previous breakdown level; if it doesn't rise, it means double top preserve. On-chain: The main force is topping up exchanges—this is the real signal. Even more straightforward than candlesticks is on-chain. In the past 48 hours, an address that has been watched for a long time 0x611f... d09d (the market calls it the "core main force") repeatedly deposited millions of CORE tokens on OKEx—this old "withdrawal→pumping → recharging back to exchanges" scenario is obvious to you. Hedging data is another side: Santiment shows whales in the million–tens of millions have net increased holdings by about 420 million in recent weeks, with small retail investors dumping and large players taking over. But be careful—those receiving goods and those depositing exchanges may not be the same group; internal differentiation is a comparison tableWhile others are watching the K-line chips, smart money is "laying pipelines" on the chain
Date: July 27, 2026
Today's market sentiment survey shows that over 70% of retail traders are still chasing AI concept coins and zoo-like meme projects, with long positions accounting for as much as 83% of the total 24-hour liquidation amount in the entire cryptocurrency market. But if you only focus on these, you fall into the trap of the "illusion of flow."
I want to make an unconventional judgment: the last thing you should watch right now is the gainer rankings; What should be watched most now are those infrastructure layers that are so deserted that almost no one pays attention to them.
Let's first look at a set of facts that just refreshed today: the average daily active addresses on Ethereum's Layer 2 network (L2) officially surpassed 6.8 million today, setting a new all-time high. In contrast, the median gas fee on Ethereum mainnet fell to 0.8 Gwei—the lowest level since the end of the 2022 bear market. What does this indicate? This indicates that on-chain activity is truly exploding, but speculative enthusiasm is rapidly fading. Large funds are quietly and patiently completing "turnover": withdrawing from highly volatile assets and moving into underlying protocols that can generate real returns.
Another overlooked data point is that today, the total deposits of global stablecoins (USDC+USDT) in decentralized lending protocols actually increased by $420 million against the trend compared to the same period last week. This is a textbook departure from the bleak secondary market. Retail investors are selling, institutions are holding.
Why am I bringing this up? Because I've seen too many people make the same mistake: scoff at the 5% annualized yield of liquidity mining on perpetual contract DEXs (decentralized exchanges), only to break their thigh after it surged tenfold.
Today, the daily average trading volume of leading decentralized perpetual contract protocols has quietly climbed to 8.7% of the total perpetual contract volume on centralized exchanges (CEX), compared to only 2.1% in the same period in 2025. This is no longer a "geek toy"—it's a real cash migration. South Korean exchange Upbit just updated its asset reserve proof early this morning, showing that its holdings in DeFi blue-chip tokens increased by 217% over the past 30 days. This logic follows its previous listings on Morpho and Euler—the listing departments of mainstream exchanges understand the value of the "underlying asset" better than retail investors.
The current market situation is:
· Where Others Go Crazy: Narrative-driven tokens, with daily turnover rates over 80% and jaw-dropping volatility.
· Places others fear (or completely ignore): interest rate derivatives protocols, decentralized credit scoring protocols, and governance tokens that "have no sexy stories, only stable cash flow."
The favorite tactic of manipulators and smart money is to open positions when liquidity runs dry, and then distribute when liquidity floods. At this point in time, USDT's OTC premium has returned to positive levels, and Korea's premium has nearly dropped to zero—this is precisely the standard characteristic of being "ignored."
You don't need to go all in right now. What you need is: spend three hours today without looking at any market software, just look at the liquidation data, historical fluctuations of funding rates, and the protocol's revenue-sharing mechanisms for three decentralized perpetual contract protocols.
What I regret most isn't missing out on a hundredfold coin, but that when on-chain options protocols first emerged in 2024, I found them complicated and illiquid, and didn't allocate 5% of my position for 'trial and error.' As a result, two years later, the leading agreement in that sector had already paid over 200 weeks of stable dividends.
Remember: what makes you money is never "knowing," but "doing" and "arriving early."
While everyone is crowding the main roads to grab gold, the real winners are already selling shovels and repairing highways. Today, the "concrete" of on-chain finance has only just been fully dried. Are you sure you want to wait until the trucks are fully loaded before chasing after it?
(This article does not constitute any investment advice. The market carries risks, and decisions must be made independently.) )This is going to be a very interesting week for $BTC .
Over the past 12 months, eight of the last nine FOMC meetings have been followed by a relatively large sell-off.
Across those eight flushes, BTC declined roughly 10% on average over the following week.
During last month’s meeting, price was trading in almost exactly the same region as it is today.
BTC traded around $66K, then dropped roughly 12% to $58K, setting new cycle lows.
The one exception was the previous meeting in May, when BTC produced the opposite reaction and rallied roughly 5%.
So another bearish reaction is not necessarily guaranteed. We have already seen this pattern fail once during the current bear market.
But 8 out of 9 is still not a statistic I am interested in betting against.
If the same reaction plays out again, we’re likely to see a key test of the range lows.
I’m personally watching whether $61K can hold as support.
That level is the gatekeeper between another pullback inside the current range and a potential flush to new lows.
Either way, the reaction we see after this meeting is going to be a good indicator as to whether we see fresh cycle lows again soon.The crypto ETF race is heating up. Several digital assets have already secured spot ETF approval in the US, while a growing list is still waiting for the green light. ✅ Already live in the US (9): $BTC — Jan 2024 $ETH — Jul 2024 $XRP + $DOGE — Sep 2025 $SOL — Oct 2025 $LTC — Nov 2025 $DOT + $AVAX — Mar 2026 $HYPE — May 2026 ⏳ Filed & awaiting approval (13): 🔹 $ADA — VanEck, 21Shares, Grayscale 🔹 $LINK — Bitwise, 21Shares, Grayscale 🔹 $XLM — 21Shares, Bitwise, Grayscale 🔹 $BCH — 21Shares, BitI just finished what I was doing this morning, and took the opportunity to check the market during a break in coffee. When I saw Jensen Huang's open letter yesterday, I wondered if NVIDIA might be using news to strengthen today. But when I checked the market, NVDA was still oscillating around 207, even slightly lowering at one point. The market reaction was much calmer than I expected.
This open letter itself is quite noteworthy, with a total of 25 tech companies jointly supporting open-source AI, including Microsoft, Meta, and IBM, and even Elon Musk publicly expressing support.
Many people's first reaction upon seeing this news was: Will models becoming more open-source affect AI companies' profitability?
But if you look at it from NVIDIA's perspective, I think the logic is quite the opposite.
The more open the model is, the more developers participate, the lower the barrier for enterprises to deploy AI, and the faster AI application implementation may accelerate. What truly determines NVIDIA's long-term value is not necessarily the leading model company, but whether the entire AI industry continues to expand.
After all, models can be open source, but the GPU, servers, and computing resources behind training and inference are not free. The fiercer the competition among AI vendors, the more iterative models and expanded deployments become, the demand for high-performance computing power may actually rise.
So in my view, Jensen Huang has always been betting not on a single model, but on the continuous growth of the entire AI ecosystem. As long as the industry keeps expanding, the demand for underlying computing power will rarely disappear overnight.
However, the pace of capital market watching clearly isn't that long.
Short-term funds are now more focused on earnings performance, whether next quarter profits exceed expectations, and whether each tech company's CapEx can continue to improve, rather than on what landscape the AI industry will ultimately develop in a few years. So even if the news is positive, I don't think it's surprising that the stock price doesn't immediately respond positively.
Recently, after the Kimi K3 became open-sourced, discussions in overseas AI circles have noticeably increased, with more and more people rethinking that the future path for AI development may not be limited to closed-source models. Competition between different routes may actually further accelerate the industry's development.
My understanding is that whether open-source models ultimately dominate or closed-source models continue to lead, as long as AI continues to become widespread, the computing power demands from training, inference, and enterprise deployment will most likely keep growing.
Therefore, I won't easily assume that the AI main theme has fundamentally changed just because Nvidia has fluctuated around 207 in the short term. More often, the market is digesting expectations, trading sentiment, and waiting for new earnings confirmation.
Of course, this does not mean the stock price will only keep rising. Short-term fluctuations are still affected by earnings reports, policies, and capital sentiment, so I won't blindly chase highs, but will continue to monitor subsequent earnings realization and CapEx data. If these core indicators do not show a clear weakening, I prefer to interpret the recent volatility as a market repricing rather than that the long-term logic has ended. $NVDA $IBM the radar flagged 26 setups this week before they moved, the tape already settled every single one. gap between "saw it" and "played out" is closed, here's the tape.
split: 11 carried, 15 faded, average outcome -9.9%. but of those 15 faders, 11 were already tagged overheated/high risk before they dropped. that's not the radar missing, that's the radar calling the flush before it happened. un1, WISHBONE, POW all got flagged MEME RUNNING [high risk] and then went to zero, exactly the outcome the tag warned about.
the carry side had a clean pattern too: real squeeze mechanics won. $EUL and $RIF got tagged SHORT SQUEEZE / SHORTS IN CONTROL [med risk] and ran 52%+. $BOP was flagged high risk too but caught a genuine meme wave, +66%. so high risk doesn't mean fade, it means volatile in either direction, the tag is telling you the range, not the outcome.
lesson of the week: overheated longs on thin books fade, squeezes with real positioning behind them carry. radar's still watching, next week's setups are already loading.

"99% of demo videos are either pre-programmed or remotely controlled by someone in the background."
Everyone in the industry knew about this, but no one exposed it until Elon Musk spoke up.
The line he drew was clear: a true general-purpose humanoid robot relies on natural commands to work on its own, without pre-programming or human intervention.
Currently, no one has done this.
Including Tesla itself.
The reality of Optimus,
All components require brand-new R&D, and there is no mature supply chain
The Fremont plant is ramping up capacity slowly
Chips are the bottleneck
The first batch of equipment is used only for internal data collection and is not sold externally
Musk is stepping on others, but at the same time, he's giving his own schedule a heads-up.
Physical AI is the real direction, but there is still a long way to go between "being able to work" and "performing and working." #财报观察员: Who can truly understand the real answer sheet from Google and Tesla this time? $DOGE 🚨JUST IN: The Trump team has moved $16.91 MILLION in $TRUMP tokens to Fireblocks custody wallets.
These wallets have previously forwarded $TRUMP to BitGo.
Over the past five months, the team has sent out 48.25 MILLION $TRUMP worth $172.4 MILLION across three separate batches. I recovered the chip structure from April, and obviously the gap between 76,000 and 80,000 has been partially filled. However, the stacked chips of 61k and 63k have reached their peak, which is quite interesting
1. The concentration of massive shares may be a historical bottom, with strong support. Selling pressure cannot be broken, and it is caught by heavy turnover
2. If it breaks below and cannot be recovered in a short time, it will become the strongest resistance level in this bear market, with massive volume trapping chips suppressing the market, potentially triggering panic selling of chips above 80,000, and the market will move to the next bottom consensus zone to reconstruct the bottom
So I believe now is the real turning point for the market. #财报观察员: Who can truly understand the real answer sheet from Google and Tesla this time? $BTC 📊 CoinGecko 24h Gainers Deep Review: Which Are Real Opportunities and Which Are Liquidity Traps?
Today's gainers list looks lively, but in essence, it's a mix of "listing-driven + Meme sentiment + new coin/airdrop liquidity + low liquidity anomalies." Blindly chasing gains based on price increases is very likely to hit a trap.
Based on exchange coverage, contract depth, and event catalysts, I have re-divided these 10 coins into three tiers:
🥇 Tier 1: Real Events and High Liquidity (Key Focus)
$EUL (+65.1%): The strongest listing driver! Officially launched on Upbit KRW spot on July 26, combined with mainstream coverage from Binance/Coinbase, the event is the most solid.
$KAITO (+25.1%): InfoFi narrative leader, with very strong spot and contract liquidity, but note the expectation of a large unlock in August.
$ESP (+16.8%): Post-airdrop TGE market, the core focus is whether the airdrop selling pressure can be effectively absorbed by the market.
🥈 Tier 2: Event/Narrative Short-term Play (Participate Cautiously)
$CROSS: Game "Frost Kingdom" global launch ecosystem driver.
$BOME / $TROLL / $ASTEROID: Pure Meme propagation and sentiment indicators, spreading fast but fundamentals are relatively weak.
🥉 Tier 3: Low Liquidity Warning (Recommended to Avoid)
$PONS / $GRX / $UWU: Although gains look good, trading volume is extremely low (e.g., $UWU only 7.3K, $GRX only 584K), with weak mainstream exchange coverage, making it very easy to encounter a "can buy but can't sell" liquidity crisis!
💡 Core Logic: For short-term trading, don't just look at who gained the most; the key is "whether there is real catalyst, whether mainstream CEX support exists, whether contract liquidity is present, and whether there is an upcoming unlock selling pressure."
Which one did you focus on today? Let's chat in the comments 👇It was just 💥 the last struggle
I don't believe you can keep pulling like this
A 50,000 USD position went all-in to short
The dog farm quickly sold the stock
I'm going to sleep
Wake up and clear the groceries right away
——
$SHIB The weekly major trend has not truly reversed
Although prices have rebounded from their lows,
But it still lags below the MA20
MACD is just a weak fix
This wave is more like an oversold rebound
Once the chasing funds can't hold on,
Whatever you pull up, you might just smash down
——
BTC is oscillating near 64,800
64,000 is the short-term dividing line between bulls and bears
Breaking below is easy to keep pulling back
However, ETFs have seen net inflows for several consecutive days
There is still capital holding the market below
So you can be bearish
But the rebound should not be treated as an unresistible bonus rally
——
$ETH overall performance is clearly weaker than BTC
In the preliminary funding data,
ETH's funding rate once turned negative
Option funds are also more inclined to downside protection
This indicates that market confidence in ETH's rebound remains insufficient
BTC just needs to weaken
ETH is very likely to amplify volatility
——
$LAB Now only around $0.15
Seven consecutive days of decline of more than 13%
Compared to a month ago, it has dropped by nearly 99%.
The previous destruction and the project team's calls
There has been no real restoration of market confidence for now
On top of that, there has been pressure to unlock tokens recently
The rebound seems more like giving trapped investors a chance to escape
This market is indeed on the bearish side
But 20 times the price goes to sleep separately
It's best to set stop-loss points
Don't end up with you waking up to pick up the groceries
Instead, the dog farm collects your position in the middle of the night

#多数党领袖称CLARITY休会前难通过 Turning Point for South Korea's Memory Industry? Concerns and Changes Amid the AI Boom
On July 26, 2026, in the early trading session of the Seoul stock market, shares of Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix both opened higher but quickly narrowed their gains. Just the day before, the two companies announced they had signed a chip supply and technology cooperation framework agreement worth 1,375 trillion Korean won (approximately $940 billion) with a major U.S. tech giant. Some market participants interpreted this news as a major victory for South Korea's semiconductor industry, but a sober look at current data and industry logic reveals that beneath the surface prosperity, structural contradictions are rapidly accumulating.
1. Capacity Expansion Outpaces Market Demand Absorption
According to the latest statistics released by South Korea's Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy on July 24, semiconductor exports in the first half of 2026 reached $68.7 billion, a year-on-year increase of 12.3%, but the growth rate has clearly slowed compared to 28.6% in the same period last year. Among these, memory chip exports still accounted for 62%, but contract prices for DRAM and NAND Flash have remained flat for three consecutive months.
One core aspect of the agreement is raising Samsung and SK Hynix's monthly HBM (High Bandwidth Memory) production target from the originally planned 130,000 wafers by the end of 2027 to 190,000 wafers, representing a 46% increase in capacity. However, major global AI chip customers—NVIDIA, AMD, Broadcom—reported in their Q2 earnings in mid-July that inventory turnover days rose to 98, 87, and 92 days respectively, all higher than the 75-80 day range in the same period last year. Downstream customers' willingness to stockpile is marginally weakening.
2. Mismatch Risk Between Non-Binding Agreements and Rigid Capital Expenditures
The signed document is not a long-term purchase contract with penalty clauses but a memorandum of understanding covering technology roadmaps and capacity reservations. Yet, Samsung Electronics announced on July 22 an additional equipment investment of 4.2 trillion Korean won for the P4 production line at its Pyeongtaek plant; SK Hynix confirmed on July 20 that the construction period for the Cheongju M15X plant has been shortened from the originally planned 32 months to 26 months. These are irreversible physical capital investments.
According to the Bank of Korea's "Corporate Investment Intention Survey" released on July 27, the semiconductor industry's equipment investment execution rate in Q2 has reached 78% of the annual budget, compared to 63% in the same period last year. The front-loading of investments is significant, but at the same time, global cloud service providers' capital expenditure growth slowed from 34% in Q1 to 22% in Q2. A Morgan Stanley report on July 23 pointed out that the HBM supply-demand gap is expected to narrow from 18% this year to 4%-6% in 2027, and if the expansion plans are fully implemented, an 8%-10% supply surplus may occur in 2028.
3. Increased Vulnerability from Exchange Rates and Foreign Capital Flows
The Korean won to U.S. dollar exchange rate was 1 USD to 1,378 KRW in early trading on July 27, near the low range since October 2022. Foreign investors have net sold in the Korean stock market for nine consecutive trading days, totaling 2.3 trillion KRW, with over 70% of net outflows from the semiconductor sector. Data from the Financial Supervisory Service of Korea shows that from July to date, foreign ownership of Samsung Electronics shares dropped from 34.1% to 32.7%, the largest single-month decline since 2021.
The depreciation of the won and capital outflows form a negative feedback loop. The 5-year CDS (credit default swap) spread for Korea rose to 47 basis points on July 26, up 12 basis points from a month ago, reflecting a repricing of South Korea's sovereign credit risk in international markets.
4. Real Demand Absorption Capacity Faces Tests
The demand growth for HBM from AI servers is undeniable, but bottlenecks in commercial monetization are emerging. Microsoft, Google, and Amazon reported in mid-July that AI-related business revenue accounted for 5.2%, 4.8%, and 3.9% of total revenue respectively, while corresponding capital expenditures accounted for a high 18.7%, 16.3%, and 14.2% of revenue. The investment return gap remains wide.
If from the second half of 2026 to the first half of 2027, the AI application revenue growth of major North American tech giants continues to lag behind capital expenditure growth, companies will inevitably reassess their procurement budgets. The Korea Development Institute (KDI) warned in its "Supplementary Economic Outlook Report" released on July 25 that if major customers lower their 2027 procurement forecasts, the idle capacity cost for South Korean memory companies could reach as high as 90 trillion KRW annually, equivalent to 32% of South Korea's current account surplus last year.
Conclusion
What the two South Korean memory giants have now is more like an entry ticket requiring a huge upfront stake. The shortened expansion cycle, the conversion of non-binding agreements into rigid expenditures, pressures from exchange rates and capital flows, and uncertainties in downstream commercialization progress together form a complex picture similar in logic but different in path from Japan's semiconductor industry in the 1990s. Physical capacity expansion is easy; sustained realization of industry value is difficult. When the tide recedes, who is swimming naked may become apparent even before the end of 2027. Today's South Korean semiconductor industry stands at a peak, but the mountain winds are biting.$CATI is trying to recover after a sharp sell-off and has already formed a decent rebound structure.

#EarningsRealityCheck #KoreaAIChipPush #ETHExitQueueZero $SOL Solana Absorbed $1.41 Billion in Stablecoins This Week, 3.7 Times the Net Growth of the Entire Market
The supply of stablecoins on Solana reached $16.48 billion, a 9.34% increase this week, equivalent to $1.41 billion in new capital flowing into the chain.
🔸 Meanwhile, the total market capitalization of stablecoins only increased by $383 million, meaning Solana's liquidity is being drawn from elsewhere, not just through overall expansion.
🔸 The structure is also changing: USDC now accounts for only 47.1% of the stablecoin supply on Solana, while other assets (USD1, USDG) reached a record high of $4.8 billion.
👉 This is a very strong signal for Solana. The influx of stablecoins into the chain is not just speculation but real capital for DeFi and payment applications to function. The diversification of stablecoins also shows that the ecosystem is maturing. This is a different story from previous bull runs; it focuses on real liquidity and utility rather than memecoins.
💬 Do you think stablecoins are the best measure of a blockchain's true health?

Even if the liquidity certificates still show that all locked, additional issuance, and freezing permissions have been revoked, the funds in the pool that can truly support trading have collapsed, and I will stop observing.

Within two hours, the price fell by about 10%, but trading volume did not disappear; About 99.97% of the main pool liquidity certificates are locked, and the rights for additional issuance and freezing have been revoked. I still only treat HBULL as a regular observer, since one address holds about 25.70% of the tokens. The project team claims this is a pledged vault, but I haven't seen it yetNvidia and SK Group announced over $500 billion in AI infrastructure plans, but the crypto market reacted lukewarmly, BTC and ETH showed divergence, and altcoins were generally under pressure.
Does this mean that the spillover effects of AI narratives on the crypto market have been fully priced in, or is the market waiting for clearer signals of capital flows?
- Event facts: Nvidia and SK Group jointly announced an AI project. SK Telecom will build a 2 GW AI data center using Nvidia Vera Rubin chips and SK Hynix HBM4 memory. SEC filings show that SK Telecom plans to increase AI data center capacity to 15 GW by 2035. The total project valuation exceeds $500 billion.
- Market Structure Changes: After the announcement, BTC fluctuated narrowly around $105,000, ETH weakened relative to BTC, and altcoins overall declined. This indicates that the long-term benefits of AI infrastructure have not directly translated into demand for crypto risk assets. The market may interpret this event as "traditional tech capital continuing to flood into AI on a large scale," rather than "accelerating the integration of AI and crypto."
- Expectations and Repricing: Previously, some market participants anticipated that the large-scale expansion of AI infrastructure would spill over into the crypto market through computing demand, tokenization, or decentralized computing networks. Current price action shows that this spillover effect is either priced in advance or has yet to form a verifiable transmission mechanism. The market is reassessing the risk premium of "AI concept coins," especially those projects that rely on short-term narratives rather than actual on-chain activity.
- Positioning Behavior and Derivatives Risk: From the derivatives market perspective, BTC perpetual contract funding rates remain in the 0.01%-0.02% range, with no significant increase, indicating that bulls have not increased their positions due to this news. ETH options implied volatility has slightly declined, indicating a reduced market expectation of ETH's short-term volatility. Altcoin futures open interest has declined, suggesting speculative funds are pulling out. If BTC fails to break through the $108,000 resistance, it could trigger long liquidations and intensify the pullback.
- Multiple paths and conditions: If clear "AI+crypto" collaboration cases emerge in the coming weeks, such as decentralized computing networks receiving official support from Nvidia, or AI data centers adopting tokenized computing power, AI narratives may be reactivated. At that point, BTC needs to hold above $110,000, and ETH needs to break through $4,000 for altcoins to see capital flow back.
- Bearish risk and conditions: If AI projects progress smoothly but the crypto market does not directly benefit, the market may further compress the valuations of AI concept coins. If BTC falls below $98,000 (near the current 200-day moving average), it could trigger broader deleveraging, with ETH and altcoins seeing even greater declines.
- Conclusion: Nvidia and SK's $500 billion AI plan is priced in the crypto market as a "tech stock boom" rather than a "crypto catalyst." BTC is currently relatively strong, but ETH's weakness against altcoins suggests that the market is skeptical about the spillover effects of the AI narrative. Under this structure, risk appetite in the derivatives market is declining. In the short term, more attention should be paid to whether BTC can hold key support rather than chasing the AI concept.
Risk warning: The expansion of AI infrastructure may continue to divert attention from the crypto market rather than generating incremental capital.

I've noticed that since the start of the bear market, every time Bitcoin and the market rebound at the end, $DOGE has systematically surged, and when this happens, a sell-off usually follows
$BTC In my view, it hasn't reclaimed its highs yet, so Dogecoin may have good upward momentum$Short-term (a few hours to 1-2 days) is not a good time; the risk outweighs the opportunity. The reasons are as follows:
· Resistance is evident above: the 1-hour chart shows prices are just below 1,922.68, which is both the intraday high area and close to the SuperTrend resistance level (1,904.67). More importantly, the estimated strong discount price is at 1,892.62, meaning if the price falls below this level, bulls will largely passively close their positions, triggering an accelerated decline.
· Open interest divergence: The open interest (OI) shown in your screenshot clearly declines during price rebounds (from 1.511 billion to 1.478 billion). This is a typical case of short positions closing out a rebound, rather than new long entries. Such rallies often have poor sustainability.
· Funding rate is neutral: Recently, the rate has fluctuated slightly around 0, indicating there is no strong bullish sentiment in the market and a lack of fuel for a trending trend.
Specific operational suggestions:
· Want to go long: At least wait until the price breaks through 1,928 (24-hour high) with increased volume and holds steady, or if it fails to break below 1,890-1,900 before reconsidering, with stop-loss set below 1,880.
· Prefer short-term shorting: If the price struggles again near 1,925, you can take a light position and try shorting, with a stop loss at 1,935, targeting 1,900 and 1,890 first.
· Special reminder: The leverage you used does not show. If you use high leverage (above 10x), going long now is very dangerous. Once it breaks below 1,900, the support below is very weak, and it could directly move toward 1,876 or even 1,865.
Simply put: going long now is "going against the small trend," and the profit-loss ratio is not cost-effective. It is recommended to either wait for a breakout confirmation or a deep pullback; temporarily observing or lightly shorting is more reliable. $$AAVE is demonstrating strong bullish momentum on OKX today, pushing up +5.65% to trade around $97.21 with a 24-hour high of $98.12.
After testing support near its recent low of $87.50, the price has broken back above key short-term moving averages (MA5 at 94.95, MA10 at 92.98, and MA20 at 93.53), signaling a healthy reversal on the daily chart as buyers target the psychological $100 mark.
#DailyOrbit @OKX中文 Next week is tough for the US stock market, with Microsoft, $META, Amazon, and $AAPL all reporting earnings, plus the Fed, GDP, and PCE all squeezed into the same week.
Google and Tesla have already set the tone for the market. Even with decent earnings, stocks still fell because investors are growing increasingly impatient with "continuing to pour money into AI." Revenue growth is only part of the story; how long it takes to recoup the money spent is the key focus for pricing after earnings.
On Wednesday, I'll first look at Microsoft's Azure growth. The market expects revenue of $87.67 billion and earnings per share of $4.24. Meeting these numbers isn't enough; guidance on Azure and AI investments will determine the after-hours direction. If Meta continues to significantly increase capital expenditures, advertising revenue must be strong enough, or the stock price will struggle.
On Thursday, I'll watch Amazon AWS. If growth holds up to expectations, Nvidia, Micron, and SK Hynix in the compute and storage chain can catch a break; if AWS slows, the hardware stocks that rose the most early on will be the first to be cut. For Apple, I only care about China sales and next quarter's guidance; no matter how much AI is mentioned at the launch event, it comes second.
My position will be light. The market won't reward "just okay" next week; if earnings, guidance, or cash flow fall short in any area, high-valuation tech stocks could see direct further declines.$BTC
My pattern plays out again...
Friday weakness. ✔️
Weekend strength. ✔️
This time wasn't different.
The weekend should close above Friday's candle close, bringing the pattern to 12 out of the last 13 instances.$BTC #EarningsRealityCheck Back in 2018, hundreds of domestic exchanges were clustered together, charging coin fees, issuing air assets, and selling customer losses—all sorts of tricks. Now, in 2026, the wave of bankruptcies has arrived—aside from those who just fled, the main problem is that matchmaking deals no longer make money, retail investors have evolved, and regulations are getting stricter. Large firms compete fiercely over services, while smaller firms simply can't survive.
If the crypto world truly wants to revive itself, it must abandon all old tricks and focus on one thing: turning good real-world assets—like US stocks and government bonds—into low-cost, high-efficiency Web3 assets on-chain. This is not something a diploma trader can handle.
---
Looking back at the evolution of finance over the past few centuries:
· The bank has → money that can circulate
· The securities market has → corporate equity that can now be moved
· ETFs have emerged→ allowing a basket of assets to be traded at low cost
· Internet brokerages have emerged→ ordinary people can now buy global assets
· The emergence of blockchain → aims to enable global assets to circulate borderless 24×7 hours a day
The true value of Web3 has never been in building more casinos, but in becoming the next generation of financial infrastructure.
Exchanges that survive aren't about who can create more speculative opportunities, but about who first masters TradFi, carves out a trick on it, and makes Wall Street people take a second look at Web3—that's real skill.
#多数党领袖称CLARITY休会前难通过
#财报观察员: Who can truly understand the real answer sheet from Google and Tesla this time? Last night after work, I watched the market for a while. I originally just wanted to see if there was a chance to reduce some positions, but I ended up seeing many people discussing the storage sector. The comment section still had the same saying: “When cyclical stocks have the highest profits, their P/E ratios are often the lowest.” Of course, I agree with this, but I think it only explains the surface and doesn’t answer the question I really care about—how much longer this cycle can last.
Companies like SK Hynix, Micron, Snowflake, and Samsung currently have relatively low valuations. Many people's first reaction is “Don’t touch them, the cycle is at its peak.” But the market actually already knows that the current profit margins can’t be maintained forever, which is why these companies don’t have very high valuations. The real disagreement isn’t whether the cycle will end, but how many more years the supply-demand tightness can last.
If the industry peaks this year and then immediately enters oversupply, price declines, and margin contraction, then the valuations that look cheap now could very well be classic value traps. But if supply tightness can continue for two or three more years, the cash flow these companies accumulate before the cycle truly reverses might be far more than what the current market valuations reflect.
I personally prefer to focus on feedback from companies in the supply chain rather than just watching P/E ratios. At least the information released by several suppliers currently leans toward the latter. SK Hynix mentioned that supply tightness for some memory products might continue until the end of this decade; Samsung, although more conservative, also believes that noticeable supply tightness will last at least until 2027.
Of course, management’s words can’t be trusted 100%, since everyone wants the market to have more confidence in them. But the information they hold is indeed much more complete than that of outside investors, such as customer contracts, equipment purchases, wafer planning, and packaging capacity. These will ultimately be reflected in the pace of capacity expansion, not just slogans.
Another common concern is whether customers will reorder repeatedly.
If the actual installation rate is low, it could mean customers overestimated demand, or it could be due to limited capacity, so everyone locks in supply early. Looking at order quantities alone makes it hard to judge which is the case. I think contract terms are more worth studying.
In this cycle, many customers are willing to sign multi-year agreements, accept price floors and ceilings, pay prepayments, and even share the funding for new capacity construction. From a business logic perspective, if demand were only short-term, few would lock resources years in advance or willingly bear expansion risks for suppliers. I think this is more meaningful than order numbers.
HBM is also an area I’ve been paying close attention to. Its biggest difference from traditional DRAM is that new supply is no longer as easy to release. HBM consumes more wafer capacity, requires higher yields, and advanced packaging further limits expansion speed. From HBM3E to HBM4 and HBM4E, manufacturing complexity continues to increase, so the newly added capacity is likely absorbed by the higher manufacturing intensity per product rather than simply turning into more shipments.
The same logic applies to TSMC and ASML.
The more advanced AI chips are, the more they rely on leading processes, EUV equipment, and advanced packaging working together. Whether it’s TSMC building new fabs, ASML delivering equipment, or customers completing capacity expansions, the whole process can’t be done in just a few quarters. Supply will definitely increase, but the speed of increase may not be as fast as the market imagines.
On the demand side, some worry whether Nvidia, AMD, and Broadcom will face pressure in the future because big companies like Meta, Google, Amazon, and Microsoft are currently very aggressive in purchasing AI accelerators and custom chips. If data center construction cools down, inventory, prices, and margins could all be affected.
I think this risk does exist, so I won’t keep my positions fully loaded just because I’m optimistic about the cycle. But on the other hand, AI computing demand itself is changing. Training still requires massive computing power, inference demand is expanding, and agents as well as more custom chip projects continue to add new loads. Even if the growth rate of a certain chip category slows, new demand sources might continue to push the entire construction cycle further out.
In the past two years, I think the biggest characteristic of the supply chain is that bottlenecks keep moving. At first, everyone fought for GPUs, then HBM and advanced packaging became the constraints, and later it was optical modules, power, cooling, and data center capacity. The constantly changing bottlenecks themselves indicate that the entire industry is still expanding on multiple physical layers, not yet reaching a very clear endpoint.
My understanding is that semiconductor cycles certainly won’t disappear. Supply will eventually catch up with demand, prices will return to normal, and margins will decline. What’s really worth comparing is whether the market’s current valuations, which reflect expectations about the cycle’s end time, align with actual contract durations, expansion speeds, and supplier feedback.
If AI demand slows earlier than expected, then these low valuations might indeed be warning of risk; but if physical bottlenecks in the supply chain remain unresolved and new capacity release can’t keep up, then what the market is underestimating might not be these companies’ profitability but how long the entire boom cycle can last.
So I’m not blindly overweight just because valuations are low, nor will I avoid the sector outright just because of the saying “low P/E in cyclical stocks means the top.” I prefer to track industry data while adjusting my positions. After all, the cycle will end, but it might not reverse quickly next year as the market pricing suggests. Leaving some room in trading is much more comfortable than betting on a single direction.

$SKHYNIX $MU #Ethereum validator exit queue has dropped to zero
I discovered a very magical phenomenon.
The Ethereum validator exit queue has been directly cleared, but ETH wanting to be staked has to wait in line for more than 40 days.
On one side, no one wants to leave; on the other, new money is scrambling to get in. Isn't this signal obvious enough?
My view is simple: this wave is not retail investors playing, but institutions bottom-fishing and locking up. Big holders like BitMine have staked 70% of their ETH in one go, clearly not planning to sell in the short term. Plus, with continuous inflows into ETFs, the circulating supply in the entire market is quietly shrinking. Many people anxiously watch the candlestick charts daily, thinking ETH can't rise, but look at this data—no one wants to sell, and new money is still queuing to enter. This itself is a pretty strong signal.
Speaking of Bitcoin, this staking wave has actually brought indirect benefits to it. Previously, people worried about "ETH crashing dragging down BTC," but now that the exit queue is zeroed out, ETH's selling pressure has basically disappeared, and Bitcoin has lost one of its biggest "ball and chains." More importantly, ETH staking locks up a large amount of liquidity, effectively reducing the total market supply. Bitcoin's supply is already decreasing after the halving, and with ETH also exiting circulation in large amounts, both sides are shrinking supply, which is a double support for the price.
Of course, risks are not absent. Validators are too concentrated, and large nodes have too much influence, which is not good for decentralization. But given the current situation, I don't think there's a need to be too pessimistic. After this 40-plus-day queue is digested, market supply will be tighter.
On a side note, meme coins are crazy today. Could a wild bull market be coming?!

Quarterly profits spilled 150 trillion KRW! SK Hynix's financial report explosion—whose 'AI bubble theory' was shattered?
In a couple of days (the 29th), SK Hynix will officially release its Q2 financial report. According to the latest forecasts from 14 Yonhap Infomax institutions, SK Hynix's Q2 operating profit is expected to surpass 64.09 trillion KRW—this quarter's profit alone exceeds last year's full-year 47.2 trillion KRW by a full 17 trillion KRW!
Including 37.61 trillion won in the first quarter, SK Hynix's operating profit in the first half of the year alone surpassed the 100 trillion won mark. If Samsung Electronics' DS division also includes the Q2 forecast of 89.4 trillion won, the combined operating profit of these two major Korean semiconductor giants in the second quarter alone will exceed 150 trillion won.
Seeing this set of exaggerated financial data, honestly, those who previously claimed "AI investment can't break even" and "AI capital spending is a bubble" were all left speechless.
Behind this set of data lies the core truth behind global tech capital flows:
The huge capex (capital expenditure) invested by tech giants on AI infrastructure is not a bottomless pit, but precisely converted into trillions of yuan in fiat cash flow on the books of sellers in storage and computing power. HBM high-bandwidth memory is not telling a story, but the world's most competitive and profitable physical commodity today.
For the crypto market, this explosive financial report is of immense significance.
Recently, US tech stocks pulled back, causing many retail investors in the crypto market to panic. But the quarterly profits of 150 trillion won from South Korea's two major chip giants directly prove that the cash flow and self-generating ability of the AI computing power industry chain are unbreakable.
When the computing power of the physical world becomes the most profitable asset, those junk knockoffs in crypto that rely on unlimited token inflation to print money will only be rapidly eliminated; On the contrary, infrastructure that can truly connect to physical computing networks, promote computing power tokenization (such as Gensyn and Virtuals protocols), and provide on-chain computing power revenue distribution is undergoing a value reevaluation of traditional capital.
My conclusion: With SK Hynix's earnings report officially released on the 29th, it is highly likely to dispel macro capital's last wait-and-see sentiment toward tech stocks and computing power Capex.
Do you think SK Hynix's earnings report on the 29th exceeded expectations and will trigger a new round of counterattacks in tech stocks and the crypto AI sector? Let's talk in the comments.Bitcoin is not safe here.
The whole time it is under $66,000, there is a clear pathway to the Realised Cap at $54,000,
The consolidation under $66,000 only becomes a deviation once Bitcoin has reclaimed that level again.
If it does not reclaim, then it becomes a potential bearish consolidation that leads to deeper lows.
With the current corrective price action, this cannot be ruled out as impossible.
There are a few key things to note however.
This bottoming structure is almost identical to 2022.
And we were correctively moving back then also, with a very similar weekly candle to what we are getting right now.
That candle and the weeks that followed sent the timeline into a massive "$12k is coming" frenzy...
But it did not come, and Bitcoin began impulsing out of thin air.
We also had a bullish divergence, and the same percentage of coins sitting in a loss.
In 2022 we spent 10 weeks below $18,000.
Right now, we are 7 weeks since we tagged below $60,000.
The similarities are uncanny$BTC In the days leading up to the announcement of its closure, crypto exchange BitMart saw its on-chain public asset reserves plummet, dropping from about $12 million on the 12th of this month to about $2.31 million on the 26th. Currently, there are only $1.89 million in assets on-chain: Ethereum about $815,000, Solana about $660,000, BSC about $362,000, Starknet about $37,000, and Bitcoin just about $17,000.$COIN's core contradiction is that its valuation logic is shifting from spot exchanges that rely solely on crypto trading cycles to infrastructure covering asset issuance and settlement, but the proportion of short-term fee income still determines cash flow stability.
Currently, the market views $COIN as an elastic amplifier of the crypto cycle, with its early underlying profit model relying entirely on commission commissions from buying and selling spot currencies like BTC and ETH in US dollars.
The driving factors are ranked as follows: the depth of financial infrastructure expansion beyond trading business, the speed of overall crypto market trading volume recovery, and the hedging effect of non-trading revenue against cyclical downturns.
The trigger for an upward scenario is that asset service boundaries successfully cross single spot trading. If its income growth in issuance and settlement exceeds traditional spot fees, the market will anchor the valuation system as a comprehensive financial infrastructure across the chain, thereby raising the valuation center.
The failure signal of this scenario is a devastating contraction in overall spot trading volume of crypto assets, making it impossible for infrastructure revenue to fill the fee gap.
The trigger for the downward scenario is that business expansion fails to change the dependence on revenue structure. When a bear market cycle causes trading activity to remain sluggish, the profit base relying solely on fees will once again drag down overall financial performance.
The downward scenario is signaling the failure of the downward script: the proportion of non-trading business revenue has broken through a critical threshold, causing the decline in transaction volume to no longer drag down the company's total revenue in tandem.
The most important variable to watch over the next seven days is the marginal trend of crypto spot trading volume in total revenue contribution and the pace of business advancement for non-trading products.
#财报观察员: Who can truly understand the real answer from Google and Tesla this time? #SPCX因星舰发射与解禁引发多空分歧#Korean Storage Giants Secure Major AI Orders from Dual Titans
AI computing power enters the order fulfillment phase
The AI industry chain welcomes another major positive development
South Korea's storage chip leaders Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix simultaneously secured long-term cooperation orders from AI giant Anthropic. Meanwhile, NVIDIA announced a $1 billion investment in South Korean internet giant Naver to build an AI data center and further expand cooperation with SK Group. This series of moves indicates that the global AI competition has shifted from model competition to infrastructure competition.
What truly deserves attention is not just one or two orders, but the fact that global tech giants continue to increase capital expenditures.
Whether it's OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, or Microsoft, they are all continuously increasing AI computing power investments. HBM high-bandwidth memory, GPUs, servers, and data centers have become the scarcest resources in the AI industry chain.
Previously, the market once worried about a slowdown in AI investments, but recent news breaks those concerns. Intel raised its earnings guidance, Qualcomm announced price hikes, and now Samsung and SK Hynix have secured long-term orders again, all indicating that AI demand remains strong and has gradually expanded from GPUs to storage, networking equipment, and data centers across the entire industry chain.
I believe this means the AI market is entering its second phase.
The first phase was driven by expectations—whoever told the AI story rose; the second phase competes on orders, performance, and capital expenditures. Whoever can continuously secure AI orders has a better chance of market revaluation.
For the capital market, $NVDA, $AMD, $AVGO, $TSM, and other computing power and semiconductor leaders remain the core beneficiaries, while Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix will continue to benefit from the supply shortage of HBM and growing AI server demand.
For the crypto market, this also sends a positive signal.
As AI infrastructure continues to expand, AI sector tokens are expected to keep attracting capital attention. Projects like $TAO, $FET, and $RENDER remain important representatives of the AI sector. Meanwhile, the improved AI industry outlook also helps enhance overall market risk appetite, indirectly supporting mainstream crypto assets like $BTC, $ETH, and $SOL.
What the market really needs to focus on is not whether the AI concept can still be promoted, but whether global tech giants continue to invest.
As long as data centers are still being built, GPUs are still being continuously procured, and HBM remains in short supply, it means this AI industry cycle is far from over. The true beneficiaries in the future will not only be model companies but the entire computing power industry chain and related assets developed around the AI ecosystem. Big Tech's earnings delivered the reality check the AI trade has been dodging. Alphabet and Tesla both reported, and both stocks sank, not on weak results (Google Cloud grew 82%) but on rising AI capex guidance. The market has flipped: spending on AI used to be rewarded as vision, now it's scrutinized as cost.
This is the same story that hit semis all week, viewed from the demand side. Investors aren't questioning whether AI is real; they're questioning the return on hundreds of billions in capex before the revenue catches up. For crypto it's a useful mirror: narratives get repriced the moment the market demands proof over promise. Risk-off today (BTC $64K) echoes that same "show me the ROI" mood bleeding across tech.
Just my read, not advice. The grand finale of the month, just on July 30th
The last few days of July, don’t be fooled by the lukewarm market. On Thursday (7/30) Beijing time, two major events packed:
2 AM, Federal Reserve decision. This time no one is betting on a rate cut—the probability is basically 0, the only disagreement is between "hold steady vs. raise 25 basis points." Two weeks ago, the chance of a rate hike was just over 10%, but with oil prices breaking $100 and the US-Iran conflict starting, now it’s surged to over 35%. The real highlight is the 2:30 AM press conference by Powell; he speaks little, gives no guidance, but one sentence can reprice September.
8:30 PM, Q2 GDP. The current tracking estimate is only 1.7%, even cooler than Q1. Growth is cooling down, inflation is still burning—stagflation vibes.
BTC is stuck at 65,000, sentiment is at freezing point (fear index 29), ETFs are still bleeding. On such a thin market, bad data will only cause bigger ripples.
🔴 Resistance 66,000-67,000
🟢 Support 62,000, 58,000 is the lifeline
My approach: no heavy bets on direction before data release, light positions waiting for the shoe to drop. #财报观察员:谁能看懂谷歌和特斯拉这次的真实答卷? $BTC $ETH $SNDK ⚠️ Let's start with an unusual phenomenon: the S&P 500 barely fell, the Dow even rose, but the Nasdaq and several tech leaders clearly weakened. This is not a broad rally or a broad decline, but rather capital rearranging its seats. 📊 Latest closing data: As of 00:10 Beijing time on July 27, US stocks are closed for the weekend. The latest effective data is the closing at 04:00 on July 25: SPY: $738.93, +0.10%; QQQ: $684.23, -1.12%; DIA: $518.76, +0.48%; AAPL: $333.02, +3.53%; GOOGL: $319.74, +0.65%. MSFT: $381.70, +0.03% NVDA: $206.84, -0.92% AMZN: $232.11, -0.66% META: $595.19, -1.80% TSLA: $313.03, -2.08% 🍎 Apple is strong, but can't save the entire tech sector Apple rose 3.53% in a single day, with its stock price very close to its 52-week high of $334.99. However, at the same time, QQQ fell 1.12%, with Nvidia, Meta, and Tesla collectively pulling back. This shows that funds are not indiscriminately buying tech stocks, but are instead flowing into a handful of strong companies. Nowadays, the US stock market isn't just about "buying tech"—it's about choosing the wrong stock, and the index rise has nothing to do with you. 🔍 Watching next weekI originally just wanted to try Babylon, but ended up turning the test vault into a life-or-death situation
At first, I really didn’t intend to play this big. When I first entered the Babylon TBV testnet, I only created a small Vault, borrowed a bit of test assets, and the health factor was very safe. At that time, I even pretended to be rational, telling myself I was just experiencing the process and would never leverage.
But within ten minutes, I started to feel the position was too light. The test coins weren’t real money, so what was there to fear? So I gradually increased the borrowing limit bit by bit. Every time I clicked confirm, I felt like I wasn’t taking a risk but rather “improving capital efficiency.”
What gamblers are best at is finding a reason that sounds professional to justify their actions.
The health factor slowly dropped, but I actually liked it more and more. The closer the number got to 1, the more I felt this position was being fully utilized. Until BTC suddenly plunged, I realized that the so-called “high capital efficiency” translated into human language meant I was close to liquidation.
When the page showed a risk warning, I could have repaid some first. But I didn’t. I stared at the candlestick chart thinking, just wait a bit longer, a rebound will make it safe.
But the rebound never came, the health factor fell below 1 first, and the Vaults ahead directly entered the liquidation process.
At that moment, I finally stopped pretending. I started frantically recalling what I did when building the position: which Vault was ahead, which was behind, and whether liquidation would handle all BTC together?
It was only then that I truly realized the Vaults in TBV aren’t just random names on the page. Behind each Vault is an independent UTXO on the Bitcoin network. They don’t mix into a common fund pool but are separated one by one.
Liquidation isn’t about the platform taking as much as it wants but is executed in the preset Vault order, by complete Vault units. In other words, when I found splitting Vaults troublesome before, now that trouble has come, I realize that was actually prearranging my own “liquidation order.”
What impressed me even more was that throughout the process, BTC was never moved to another chain. The borrowing status, health factor, and liquidation conditions changed in external DeFi applications, but the native BTC remained locked on Bitcoin, not wrapped into another asset, nor handed over to any custodian.
Before, when I played DeFi, what I feared most wasn’t the market dropping but that when the market dropped, cross-chain bridges, custodians, and protocols would all fail together. TBV doesn’t solve gamblers’ love for leverage, nor will it let liquidation slide just because you insist otherwise.
But at least it separates two things:
I can be liquidated because my position is too heavy—that’s my judgment error; but I don’t need to give up control of BTC to others just to use BTCFi.
This time it was just a testnet, and the losses weren’t real money, but I was still thoroughly educated. Before, when building a position, the first thing I did was calculate how much I could borrow; now I first think about which Vault would be liquidated first if BTC suddenly crashes, and which Vaults can remain.
Babylon TBV didn’t make me quit leverage.
It just made me understand one thing:
You can keep gambling, but you can’t put the keys up as collateral together.
#Babylon #TBV #Bitcoin #BTCFi #DeFi
$BABY $BTC
I'm not convinced that long-term Bitcoin holders—who now control a record share of the supply—are suddenly going to start dumping coins here just because the Nasdaq might see another leg lower.
The Nasdaq is already roughly 10% off its highs. Unless your view is that equities are entering a broader macro bear market, the realistic downside from here doesn't seem enormous. Even in a weaker scenario, we're probably talking about another 5–10%.
What's interesting is that Bitcoin hasn't been moving in lockstep with the Nasdaq for quite some time. Over the past year, it's often traded on its own set of drivers, and on higher time frames the relationship has been far less straightforward than many assume.
We've also seen BTC front-run major turns in risk assets before. Because of that, I don't think a potential Nasdaq move lower, by itself, is a particularly strong case for calling for new Bitcoin lows.
Could it happen? Sure. But I think the argument needs more than just "Nasdaq down, therefore BTC down."

#BTCSecurityAlliance #ETHExitQueueZero #OKXTraderVoices The future of the crypto market remains uncertain: Key data is coming in a concentrated stream, and the market is quietly awaiting a directional decision
Over the past week, the tech giants' earnings season has given the market a thorough wash. As Google, Tesla, and Nvidia have successively "handed over," investors' patience and confidence are facing a test. The next four days will be the real "tough battle"—the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision, key economic data releases, and the earnings of core stocks like Microsoft, Meta, Amazon, and Apple to be delivered one after another.
Giants lead first, but the answer sheet is far from perfect
Reviewing the disclosed results, Google's free cash flow has fallen short of expectations amid slowing cloud business growth, prompting market questions about its capital expenditure efficiency; Tesla, on the other hand, is facing significant pressure on profit margins due to declining profit margins. As for Nvidia, although it still has considerable unrealized gains on paper, its valuation level and customer concentration risks remain looming swords, and the market doubts the sustainability of its future growth rate.
Wednesday: Interest rate decision and the "double test" of Microsoft and Meta
On Wednesday, the Federal Reserve will announce its latest interest rate decision. Currently, the market generally expects the benchmark rate to remain unchanged, but the key focus is on Powell's wording at the press conference. I judge that its stance will most likely maintain a cautiously hawkish tone, emphasizing caution about inflation, but in practice, the room for liquidity tightening is already quite limited. Currently, U.S. tech companies are at a peak in AI infrastructure investment. If tightened excessively, it will directly impact the financing environment and expansion willingness of the computing power industry chain.
On the same day, Microsoft and Meta's earnings reports will be released first. For Microsoft, the market focus will be on the growth rate of Azure's cloud business. If its constant exchange rate growth falls below the critical psychological threshold of 38%, it may trigger some funds to temporarily exit and observe the market. Meta's stock price has remained sluggish over the past several quarters. If Zuckerberg signals at the earnings call that he will continue to significantly increase AI capital expenditures and lacks a clear commercialization timeline, it may exhaust market patience and accelerate capital outflows.
Thursday: GDP and PCE join forces to put pressure on consumer electronics giants
Thursday's pressure was even more direct. The preliminary US Q2 GDP and core PCE inflation data will be released one after another. The most worrying scenario in the current market is undoubtedly the rising expectation of "stagflation"—that is, signs of slowing economic growth while inflation stubbornly hovers around 2.5%. If this combination materializes, highly valued tech growth stocks will face further valuation compression pressure.
In terms of performance, Amazon and Apple will make a grand finale. The growth rate of Amazon AWS is a core variable, with Bank of America expecting its cloud business to grow by about 33%. If it can reach or surpass this level, it will positively boost the computing power storage industry chain of companies such as Nvidia, SK Hynix, and Micron; Conversely, it could trigger short-term volatility across the entire AI hardware chain. For Apple, the market is no longer satisfied with Cook's forward-looking guidance; the actual shipment volume and revenue changes in the Chinese iPhone market are the key indicators determining the stock price direction.
Unlike the market in previous years that were willing to offer high premiums for AI visions, today's investors have become extremely pragmatic. Cash flow quality, customer diversity, and return on capital have become new standards for measuring corporate value. In the coming days, there will be a comprehensive assessment of the quality of global core technology assets.
Market performance and ETF capital movements
Looking back at today's crypto market, the trend remains weak. As of the afternoon of July 26 Beijing time, Bitcoin (BTC) was fluctuating narrowly between $65,200 and $65,400. Technically, $65,700 has become a key rebound after a short-term breakout, while a new resistance zone has formed in the $66,200-$66,500 area above. Ethereum (ETH) slowly climbed to around $1,880, but the rebound was clearly weak, with weak bullish momentum.
It is worth noting that although some Bitcoin ETFs have occasionally seen net inflows recently, the market has not followed the upward trend, showing a "price not following" pattern. This indicates that inflows may only be short-term arbitrage or hedging opportunities, while existing funds continue to withdraw, and the market lacks new medium- to long-term allocation strength.
Before macro uncertainty materializes, risk assets are unlikely to experience a trend. For those who continue to burn cash, have uncertain commercialization prospects, or have an overly narrow client base, whether traditional tech stocks or crypto assets, aggressive participation in the short term is not advisable.
This article is for market analysis and opinion sharing only, and does not constitute any investment advice.The market appears to be rebounding, but the real pricing is selective harvesting
Is this a sign of a comprehensive recovery, or is it capital concentrating on safe havens?
The core judgment of the original text is: this is not the starting point for a broad rally for altcoins, but rather a precise liquidity harvest. Funds have not spread evenly across the entire market, but are highly concentrated in BTC, ETH, and a few sector leaders, forming an "organized local rebound" rather than a full recovery. This view aligns closely with on-chain data and the divergence in sector strength.
Key fact: The original text divides the market into three tiers. The first layer is liquidity magnets: BTC and ETH are the core anchors for institutional funds. SOL follows due to its high beta attributes but fluctuates sharply, while TAO and WLD represent sentiment leading indicators for AI concepts but are still in the early speculative stage. The second layer consists of incentive tokens: MEME, HUMA, EDEN, AERO, etc., driven by specific narratives (Meme, DeFi, L2), but with unstable trading volumes. If BTC stabilizes, they may become candidates for the next rotation. The third layer is consistently weak coins: TRUMP, VIRTUAL, SPACE, etc., barely rebound, indicating the market is voting with its feet, liquidating projects lacking fundamentals or overdrawn narratives, with liquidity drying up. Any pullback will accelerate downward movement.
Market structure changes: The HYPE indicator shows a neutral risk appetite, with speculative funds still on the sidelines; Retail sentiment indicators such as DOGE and ZEC showed limited gains, indicating that retail capital has not yet entered the market on a large scale. This means that the current rebound is not driven by retail FOMO, but by existing institutions allocated to specific assets.
Transmission logic and pricing impact:
- Bullish path: If BTC breaks through previous highs and drives ETH up strongly, funds will flow from leading stocks to Layer 2 tokens, forming healthy sector rotation. Condition: Macro data (such as CPI, Federal Reserve statements) do not cause disturbances.
- Bearish risk: If BTC fluctuates at this level and then pulls back, due to the very poor "width" of the rebound—most coins did not follow the rally—they lack support, and pullbacks will accelerate blood loss. Condition: BTC cannot hold high levels or unexpected macro negative factors occur.
Conclusion: At this stage, one should not blindly buy altcoins, but rather observe which tokens can independently break the trend during BTC sideways trading. It wouldn't be too late to act after it had proven its own strength.
What do you think: if BTC holds above $100,000, can ETH take over as the engine for the next round of capital rotation? $BTC $ETH $SOL #板块强弱大家是不是以为,只要市场跌了,散户都该吓得跑光才对?
可最近我盯着ETH的多空数据,发现一个特别反直觉的现象——价格越往下走,多头反而越兴奋,像看到打折就跑进超市一样。但稍微反弹一点,这群人又像被烫到一样,赶紧止盈跑路。嘴上喊着长期持有,实际连两三根阳线都拿不住。多空账户占比几分钟就翻一次脸,持仓量也跟着价格上蹿下跳:上涨时蜂拥加仓,下跌时急速撤退。这种情绪比翻书还快,而真正的大资金呢?该减仓就减仓,该观望就观望,不会因为一根阳线就追,也不会因为一根阴线就慌。
我自己也栽在ETH上了 🍓。ETHUSDT永续,全仓10倍,开仓价2117.84 USDT,现在价格1881.27 USDT,浮亏1328.29 USDT,回报率-125.94%,保证金比率只剩2.71%。从2400美元一路跌下来,折腾快三个月了。天天有人喊抄底,也天天有人割肉。但我觉得,市场真正在交易的,不是ETH能不能站上2400,而是散户和机构之间完全不同的资金偏好。
- 散户偏好多头情绪化抄底,但缺乏耐心,一有浮盈就急着兑现。
- 机构更关注风险收益比,宁愿等更低的位置,或者等明确的右侧信号。
- 最近黑客安全事件也影响了情绪,让部分资金转向更安全的资产或冷钱包,流动性被抽走一块。
偏多逻辑是:如果ETH能先站稳1900美元,再挑战2000美元,可能会吸引一波观望资金入场,形成短期反弹。但风险在于,目前的多头抄底力量太脆弱,一旦反弹无力,反而可能成为下一波下跌的燃料。毕竟,持仓量在下跌时快速减少,说明多头止损意愿很强,价格容易被空头压着打。
所以我的判断是:ETH现在更像在磨底,而不是反转。散户的情绪反复,反而让大资金更愿意等。与其天天患得患失,不如控制好仓位,耐心等一个更清晰的信号。希望下一次打开账户,看到的不再是刺眼的红色。

$ETH $BTC #以太坊 #市场情绪 #资金偏好关于手机挖矿鼻祖落难全过程Core Foundation 和 Maple Finance的和解协议
$CORE 0.015CORE/USDT-50% “双方都不认错,但时间拖不起了”
一、事件脉络还原
2025 年初,Core Foundation 和 Maple Finance 合作推出 lstBTC,让比特币持有者通过 Core 链赚取收益。Core 投入了技术、营销和大量补贴,Maple 的资产管理规模(AUM)从不到 5 亿美元暴涨至 28 亿美元,lstBTC pilot 项目吸入了超过 1.5 亿美元的比特币存款。
但 2025 年中,Maple 被指控利用合作中获得的机密信息,秘密开发竞品 syrupBTC,违反了双方协议中的 24 个月独家条款。Core 随即在开曼群岛大法院申请禁令,成功阻止 Maple 推出 syrupBTC,并禁止 Maple 交易 CORE 代币。
更棘手的是,Maple 随后声称要对这 1.5 亿美元比特币存款进行减值处理(impairment),暗示可能无法全额归还用户本金。Core 则坚称这些资产存放在破产隔离结构中,Maple 无权减值。
二、和解协议的真实性质
你看到的这份和解声明,措辞是典型的"双方都不认错"的公关话术:
"The settlement is not, and is not to be construed as, an admission of liability or wrongdoing by any party."
但这不等于 Core 一无所获。和解的核心逻辑是交易而非判决:
Maple 得到了什么
继续推出 syrupBTC 的权利:禁令被解除,Maple 可以按原计划推进自己的比特币收益产品
避免被法院永久禁止进入该赛道
保住公司声誉和运营连续性(Maple 管理着超过 30 亿美元资产,诉讼拖下去对其融资和合作是致命打击)
Core 得到了什么(隐性)
终止仲裁和诉讼的成本:跨境仲裁+开曼法院程序,律师费和时间是天文数字
1.5 亿美元比特币存款的安全回收:这是最关键的一点。Maple 之前威胁要"减值"用户存款,如果 Maple 因诉讼陷入流动性危机甚至破产,Core 作为合作方面临的连锁反应(用户追偿、声誉崩塌)远大于失去一个独家合作伙伴的损失。和解很可能是以Maple 承诺全额或高比例归还用户本金为前提的
可能的和解金:声明说"财务条款保密",这意味着 Maple 很可能向 Core 支付了一笔金额不公开的补偿,换取 Core 撤诉和放弃独家权
止损:CORE 代币在 2025 年已经跌了约 90%,诉讼持续曝光对代币价格和社区信心是持续放血。结束纠纷是止血
三、为什么不是"白白引流"
你的感觉——"Core 帮 Maple 验证了赛道,最后 Maple 带着资源跳船自己做"——在商业层面是成立的。但这背后有几个残酷现实:
1. lstBTC 的模式本身已经破产
有观察者指出,lstBTC 的收益来源实际上是 CORE 代币的通胀/补贴,而非真实的比特币生息。CORE 代币价格暴跌 90% 后,这个收益模式本身已不可持续。即使 Maple 不跳船,lstBTC 也可能因代币经济模型崩溃而自然死亡。
2. 混合 DeFi 的合同脆弱性
这个案子暴露了"链上产品、链下合同"的结构性风险。Maple 是一个独立的、成熟的 DeFi 平台,有技术能力和用户基础。24 个月的独家协议在纸面上有效,但在一个开源、无许可的行业里,阻止一个成熟平台开发竞品几乎是不可能的。诉讼可以拖延,但无法永远阻止。
3. Core 的战略转移
和解声明中 Core 说"继续专注于推进 Core 网络并扩大其比特币产品供应"。这暗示 Core 已经放弃了通过 Maple 做 lstBTC 这条路径,转而自己做基础设施或寻找新的合作伙伴。纠缠旧账的边际收益已经低于向前看的边际收益。
四、总结
这份和解协议的本质是:
Maple 用金钱/承诺(保密条款)赎买了推出竞品的自由;Core 用放弃独家权换取了结束诉讼、保全用户资产、止血代币价格的现实利益。
所以 Maple 继续推进 syrupBTC,不是因为它"赢了"或 Core "怂了",而是因为商业战争打到一半,双方发现继续打下去的成本超过了收益。Maple 得到了产品自由,Core 得到了止损和可能的补偿金——这是加密行业典型的"庭外分赃"结局。
至于那 1.5 亿美元比特币存款能否安全回到用户手里,才是这场和解真正的试金石。如果 Maple 最终全额归还了用户本金,说明 $CORE 的强硬姿态(申请禁令、公开施压)确实起到了保护社区的作用;如果用户最终还是被"减值"了,那这份和解才是真的失败。

The data on RWA perpetual contracts is indeed a bit intimidating.
The report just released by The Block shows that the monthly trading volume in June reached $470 billion. It was only $85 billion in January, a 450% increase in half a year. In the first quarter, the entire market's RWA perpetual contracts reached $524.8 billion, surpassing the whole previous year in just one quarter.
The most impressive part is tokenized stocks, which increased sevenfold in half a year. SPCX alone traded $66 billion in June; it just IPOed two weeks ago, and its on-chain trading volume exceeds that of most altcoins over a year. Semiconductor stocks like MU, SNDK, and SK Hynix are also following closely behind.
The platform concentration is also shockingly high. Binance, Hyperliquid, and OKX together account for over 80%, with Binance alone nearly half. Hyperliquid is the only on-chain player among them; in the second week of July, RWA trading volume was $25.1 billion, accounting for 52% of the platform's total trading volume, surpassing all other asset classes combined for the first time. ARK analysts say this marks a new phase for DeFi.
But honestly, there are a few things worth pondering behind the $470 billion figure.
First, how did this money flow in? No KYC, 24/7 trading, up to 20x leverage—things that require filling out a bunch of forms and waiting for T+2 settlement in traditional brokerages can be done with just a wallet address on-chain. This is indeed convenient but also a huge regulatory gray area. The SEC hasn't officially acted yet, but it can't ignore it forever.
Second, the growth relies heavily on a single event. The June surge was largely driven by the SpaceX IPO. SPCX alone traded $66 billion, accounting for about one-seventh of the entire sector. Once the IPO momentum fades, whether daily trading volume can hold up is the real test.
Third, traditional finance is accelerating its entry. On July 16, DTCC launched tokenized real asset testing, with JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, and BlackRock all on the list. Ondo also launched Ondo Perps in early July, supporting tokenized stocks as collateral with up to 20x leverage. Coinbase Ventures has already listed RWA perpetuals as a primary investment track. The sector is growing, but competition is also intensifying.
RWA perpetuals grew from $85 billion to $470 billion in just half a year. The speed is indeed fierce, but the fiercer the sector, the tighter the regulatory scrutiny. A $470 billion derivatives market without KYC cannot remain in a gray area forever. Let me explain why the approval window is from late July to early August.
The end of July is the Senate's voting window.
August 7 marks the start of the summer recess for the Senate.
If it doesn't pass on August 7, then the midterm election cycle will follow, and the bill will basically not pass.
If you experienced the market during Bitcoin's ETF passage, I think you can also understand that this bill could be a catalyst for $BTC new highs in future bull markets.
If you say the two are not the same, it only means you are too naive. It's simply not suitable for playing financial games.I just saw some data: ETH's gas average this week is less than 5 gwei.
Three years ago, when prices fell below 10 Gwei, everyone was shouting, 'In a big bull market, come buy the dip.' The chain is quiet now, and transaction volume hasn't shrunk much, but hardly anyone is issuing ERC20 anymore.
Let me share two observations 👇
1️⃣ L2s are starting to consume traffic
The daily active addresses of Arbitrum and Base are already more than three times those on the Ethereum mainnet. The old hype of "Ethereum is insufficient, so L2 is needed" has now become "everyone is playing on L2, who would return to mainnet?"
2️⃣ ETH's positioning is gradually changing
In the past, people bought ETH to "use gas on Ethereum," but now it's more about stockpiling as a substitute for BTC. Staking yields just over 3% annualized, which is somewhat better than buying wealth products, but when it comes to capturing value, it feels a bit awkward.
Personally, I think ETH will eventually find a new narrative. The DeFi cycle relied on TVL, the NFT wave relied on memes and hype. What will happen next?
I don't have an answer yet, but the number of real users and developers on-chain is there, and the foundation is solid. Now it's all about whether we can come up with the next killer app.
#ETH #以太坊 #cryptoTrump reported $1.4B+ in crypto income for 2025.
Breakdown from his financial disclosure:
$635M — $TRUMP meme coin sales
$770M— World Liberty Financial
$520M from token sales
$250M from selling business interests
That’s a 9x jump from last year. Crypto is now his largest source of income.
Meanwhile the Senate can’t move the CLARITY Act.
Democrats argue you can’t have a president regulating crypto while making $1B+ from it.
Republicans argue the bill shouldn’t be written around one person.
The current draft would ban sitting officials from issuing or sponsoring new digital assets.
But it doesn’t fully address family-run projects.
Conflict or not — this is why ethics is holding up the biggest crypto bill in years.

Damn! Ethereum staking exits have completely cooled off, but the entries are packed like a doghouse! What the hell are these people on?
Stop fixating on that damn exit queue. It’s not "down to zero," it’s dead. Those who wanted to leave have already left. Now the door is wide open, the wind is blowing hard, and not a single person wants to walk out. On the flip side, 2.48 million ETH are stuck tight at the entrance, with an average wait of 43 days to get in. One side is so empty you could run a horse race, the other side is so congested it’s hard to even breathe. This isn’t some kind of "balance," it’s a blatant supply-demand rupture.
Across the entire network, 40.9 million ETH are locked up, accounting for 33.55% of total supply, with 885,000 validators still grinding away, yielding only 2.64% annually. Meanwhile, U.S. Treasury yields start at 4.5%, oil prices are still hovering in triple digits, and inflation is suffocating central banks. 2.64%? That return isn’t even enough to get a dog to lick it. Yet these people keep rushing in. What are they after? Not interest, but position. Institutions want on-chain seats, overseas capital wants to secure their spot before laws like CLARITY come into effect. Yield is just a bonus; the real logic is "one less circulating coin, one more chip under control."
Last September, the exit queue clogged up to over 2.6 million ETH, scaring the market senseless. Now exits are empty, entries are clogged, and net flow has completely flipped. The daily sell pressure of about 1,800 ETH evaporates instantly, and new inflows have to be locked for 43 days. Short-term circulating supply is tightening continuously. This isn’t gentle "long-term confidence," it’s capital openly telling you: the dumpers are gone, and the entrants are still lining up.
The Pectra upgrade is just around the corner, and some are already shouting that the staking rate might surge above 50%. Once it passes half, exchange liquidity will dry up even more. This scene is reminiscent of the on-chain movements before the 2020 DeFi Summer—data moves first, price follows. But don’t be naive; if the price suddenly spikes to a level that tempts people to cash out, that empty exit queue will clog up like a parking lot in a second.
Traders, analysts, and veteran holders on X see it more bluntly. Some curse: "2.64% and still rushing in? Either they truly believe ETH will go to the moon, or they’ve been kicked in the head by a donkey."
Institutional voices are colder: "We’re not here for the interest, we’re here to hold spots. Dollar exposure is more important than that lousy yield." Others link this to BTC: "ETH locking accelerates, funds are actually swinging between both sides. ETF net inflows and BTC creeping up from over 60k show some have moved low-yield ETH chips to bet on macro narratives."
In short, it’s the same story on both sides—whales are locking chips tight, not here to play short-term chopping games. The harsher ones say: "The exit queue is empty like a parking lot and no one’s leaving? It’s not that they don’t want to run, the price just hasn’t risen to the level that makes them want to dump. Waiting for the wind? The wind has been howling in the staking pool for a while; it’s just a matter of who jumps ship first."
Macro pressures remain, but on-chain is already heavily bullish. The exit door is wide open, and no one wants to leave; the entry queue is jammed, and no one’s backing out. Sell pressure is completely gone, demand keeps pushing in, and there’s only one direction—hold tight and savor it!After making it through 2018’s crash and 2021’s mania, I’ve learned 8 hard lessons that separate those who survive from those who get wiped. 🚨
These aren’t just errors — they’re mental traps built to drain your account. Let’s break them down.
1. The "perfect cycle" is a liquidation trap
You’ll hear it everywhere: “BTC tops first, then ETH, then alts.” 2021 blew that up. High-beta assets often pump together, not in a neat order.
The real edge is divergence: ETH and beta plays can outrun Bitcoin’s slow grind. Dominance falls because cycles rotate — and they don’t pause for your bias to confirm.
2. Most people trade backwards
Retail loves to build “long-term bags” at bull market tops when everything feels safe, then dumps in the bear when fear peaks.
Truth is: BEAR markets = accumulation. BULL markets = momentum + scaling in.
Selling into euphoria is brutal. Buying when everything’s bleeding is harder. FOMO makes you think every exit is wrong, but holding too long is the real mistake.
3. Don’t rent conviction
A solid project, real product, perfect thesis — crypto will still shake you out violently before it pays you. If the belief isn’t yours, you’ll fold early.
And stop waiting for perfect confirmation. If $57K was the BTC bottom, you might not get a clean signal until $84K. By then you’ve missed half the move. TA helps, but chasing “safety” kills alpha.
4. Time breaks more people than price
Anyone can handle a 50% drop for a few weeks. But months of sideways, boring, uncertain chop? That’s where portfolios go to die.
The best setups form when nothing’s happening and nobody wants to wait.
Also: a great project is not always a great token. Tokenomics, unlocks, inflation, and value capture matter more than the team’s pedigree.
And being right about the tech doesn’t mean you’ll make money.
Survival in crypto is 80% psychology. The market rewards patience, contrarian timing, and owning your thesis — not chasing narratives.

#DailyOrbit @OKX Orbit RWA perpetual monthly trading volume has reached 470 billion USD, is this thing about to change the crypto world? Pharaoh directly says, this is not a change of the guard, this is the crypto world swallowing the traditional financial dining table. In six months, it soared from 85 billion to 470 billion, a 450% increase. SpaceX alone did 66 billion in trading volume in a single month, more than many major crypto projects do in a year. Who is pushing this market? Binance, Hyperliquid, and OKX together hold over 80% of the share, with Binance alone taking half. Hyperliquid is even more aggressive; last week RWA trading volume accounted for 54% of the entire platform, surpassing native crypto assets for the first time. ARK Invest analysts directly say, "We are entering a new era of DeFi." The hottest thing on-chain now is no longer speculating on altcoins, but using USDC margin around the clock to leverage trade U.S. stocks, oil, and gold. Want to trade Nvidia at 2 a.m.? Traditional brokers are closed, but crypto exchanges are open 24/7. This is the core value of RWA perpetuals—extending Wall Street's business hours from 6.5 hours a day to all year round without rest. But Pharaoh has to warn you. This 470 billion is all synthetic perpetual contracts; what you buy is price exposure, not real stocks, no voting rights, no dividends. Also, this thing basically has no regulatory framework now; you can go all-in with 10x leverage on SpaceX without KYC, the SEC would probably have a stroke seeing this. Pharaoh still says, if you see the trend right, you must understand the gameplay before jumping in. RIs the dog farm targeting my stop-loss line? Precise demolition followed by an instant rally—I'm familiar with this script!
Brothers, tonight I was once again the "chosen one." Right after the bullish stop loss was precisely triggered, the price rebounded like a laxative and pulled back to the cost zone. When I opened my account, I saw -1.43 USDT. Not much, but extremely insulting—Did this dog farm install surveillance on my phone? Specifically targeting me while I'm asleep to sneak attack? Alright, since we're going to play, let's clean this plate and see what the dog farm is up to.
Market Review: A Needle Pierces Faith—Is the V-shaped Reversal a Bullish Attraction or a Real Rise?
Opening ZAMAUSDT's 4-hour chart, the structure is quite disgusting. After surging to 0.05838 last night, it started to decline quietly. Today, in the Asian session, it directly broke through the 0.05200 support level, hitting a low of 0.05017, just sweeping through my stop loss line at 0.05046. Note that this position is the lower boundary of the previous intensive trading zone and also the support level for the EMA120. The Dog Market was very bad, deliberately using a needle insertion to break the long stop-loss position, then quickly pulled back to 0.05470, leaving a long lower shadow.
Looking at volume, the 24-hour trading volume was 1.7 billion ZAMA, with a decent turnover rate. However, the wave of sell-offs saw obvious volume growth, followed by a rebound with shrinking volume, indicating that it wasn't new capital entering the market, but rather the old players 'cleaning up the battlefield'—washing out unstable bulls and taking advantage of the bleeding chips at low levels. On the technical side, the EMA5 (0.05338) just crossed above the EMA10 (0.05274), showing signs of a golden cross in the short term, but the MACD is still below the zero axis, and the daily chart remains bearish. This rebound is most likely just a correction rally; don't chase after the rally.
Trading direction: Short-term game for a rebound, but don't mistake a rebound for a reversal
Since the dog dealer has revealed its cards—0.05000 below is the solid bottom—short-term strategies should revolve around this range. The first resistance above is at 0.05550 (near EMA20), and the second resistance is at 0.05700. My plan is: if it pulls back to 0.05250 and doesn't break through, light positions and test long positions, set a stop loss at 0.05180, targeting 0.05500; if it rises directly to around 0.05600, consider small short positions, stop loss at 0.05720, and gamble for a second pullback. Remember, don't be greedy in a volatile market. If there's profit, run. Dog dealers are best at sweeping back and forth.
Trading tip: Cutting losses is the dad's responsibility, but sometimes the dad can also mess with his son
To be honest—who hasn't experienced a reversal after being swept to stop loss? I've counted before and found that at least 30% of transactions have been "precisely targeted." The problem isn't the stop-loss itself, but the obvious stop-loss setting is visible throughout the market. Next time, learn your lesson: stop loss should either be placed farther below the structure or use a "time stop"—if the price has been sideways in the cost zone for more than 12 hours, exit proactively and don't let the dealer be a target.
Also, keep your mindset steady. -1.43 USDT is like paying respects to the dog farm; as long as you have your capital, there are plenty of opportunities. Remember, the market never lacks opportunities; what it lacks is patience and discipline. Tonight's market is going on, I admit defeat, but I refuse to accept it. Once the pullback is in place, he'll fight the dog dealer for three hundred rounds.
(PS: If this post gets posted and ZAMA explodes, then I suggest the dog farm give me some advertising fees. )
