$APR I originally just wanted to grab a quick breakfast, but the market ended up handing me half a year's worth of dumplings.😅
Yesterday at dawn, APR repeatedly surged at a high level, but the volume didn't keep up, and the resistance above was clear. I was watching APR's order book and saw that every surge was just short of breath, so I signaled bearish: high-level pressure, don't chase.
Later, I shorted from 0.2422 down to 0.1491, +769.61%, giving a direct answer. The earlier hesitation turned out to be really rewarding.
The market cures all kinds of arrogance, especially from those who think they're the smartest. Risk control done upfront is called rational; cutting losses later is called decisive.
I first closed 80%, keeping the remaining 20% at cost price for protection. If it continues to drop, let the profits run; if it rebounds, don't give the profits back. Don't be greedy for the last bit.
For friends who haven't gotten on board yet, listen to me: now is not the time to rush in. Chasing highs easily leaves you stuck at the peak. Wait for the next signal before moving. Stay tuned for good news.
$XRP $ADA Brothers, I really can't hold on anymore.
Originally, I planned to turn 100 dollars into 100,000 dollars, working hard for a month, but ended up losing 30 dollars.
What's worse is this week. Shorting has completely knocked me back to square one.
Shorted $ZEC, got hit.
Shorted Ethereum, got hit.
Shorted altcoins, still got hit.
At most, I had a dozen short positions open at the same time, but the bulls kept pushing prices up wave after wave, and all I could do was keep cutting losses.
At first, I thought it was just a pullback, that if I held on, it would come down eventually. Now I realize the problem isn't that the market doesn't give opportunities, but that I've been using bear market thinking in a bull market.
This week I lost all the profits from the past three months, and even started losing principal.
The monthly return rate once reached 80%, and now looking at that number, I really want to cry.
Especially $ZEC. If I had admitted my mistake earlier, I wouldn't have lost so much. The little money I made going long later all went into margin for the previous short positions.
But I didn't learn my lesson and went to short $ONE again.
I have to admit, the bull market is really here.
I used to think that after such a strong rise, it must fall. You think it should fall, but it just keeps going up.
Looking back now, not losing money might already be considered good.
In such a crazy market, staying alive and at the table is more important than anything.
The challenge of turning 100 dollars into 100,000 dollars is not over yet.
The first thing next is not to make money, but to learn to protect the principal. Seeing recent news about XRP, a whale has scooped up about 470 million XRP in 5 days, worth approximately $724 million, and even on the daily chart, a technical pattern resembling an "inverse head and shoulders" has formed. With such concentrated positive news, of course, I hope to ride this wave and steadily see $2 first. But looking closely at this candlestick chart, from the previous high of $3.38 it dropped all the way to $0.98, and now it is slowly oscillating around $1.54. There is a relatively thick trapped position in the $1.80–$2.00 range above. To truly break through $2, relying solely on whales continuously accumulating is not enough. More importantly, new off-exchange funds must enter, using real money to absorb the selling pressure above. When I used to see this kind of news, I might have rushed in already SOL has risen this much already, is it at the top?
I'm not worried at all. I glanced at the Fear and Greed Index, and it's just a bit over 70. During the last real frenzy, this index stayed above 80 for more than a month, with people shouting 'top' every day, but it kept rising until no one dared to speak.
At this stage, frankly: the price is running fast, but the sentiment is still catching up. Most people's positions are still the bottom positions scared $BTC #FedHikesBTCResilience Finally, let's wrap up by looking at the news and what to watch next. Funding: The latest ETF decision is still September 24 (Eastern US time). The US spot Bitcoin ETF saw a net inflow of about $190 million, continuing for six consecutive trading days; Ethereum about $66 million, continuing for five consecutive trading days; Solana about $32.8 million, mainly Bitwise's BSOL; XRP about $14.9 million. The trading day on September 25 Eastern US time is not over yet, and the numbers are not out, so let's not force it. Contracts: OKX perpetual funding rates show Bitcoin and Ethereum slightly positive, Solana, Dogecoin, and XRP all at a basic level of 0.01%, overall normal. Solana's open interest increased from about 2.89 million this morning to about 2.99 million tonight; XRP about 75 million, Dogecoin about 1.02 billion, all slightly higher than this morning. As altcoins rise, leverage is also returning, and the speed of decline will be faster when it falls back. Macroeconomics: The 10-year US Treasury yield is about 5.17%, the 30-year about 5.46%, and the 2-year about 4.90%, all still high; the US dollar is set to close with two consecutive weekly gains, the first time in over three months. Fed Governor Barr said this week there will be "further policy adjustments," and the market's rate hike expectations have not dissipated. There is no PCE data from the US today; August PCE will be released on the morning of September 30 Eastern US time #美元稳定币或加速出海
The U.S. government is personally stepping in to promote the overseas expansion of dollar stablecoins. This is not a positive development for the crypto industry; it is the extension of dollar hegemony in the digital age. Using private stablecoins to counter the digital renminbi and digital euro is smarter and more dangerous than pushing CBDCs.
On September 24, according to insiders, the Trump administration is considering an initiative to promote the use of dollar-denominated stablecoins overseas by establishing joint ventures with private companies, involving the Treasury Department, the State Department, and the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC). The core goal is to boost demand for U.S. debt—stablecoin issuers are required to hold cash and short-term U.S. Treasuries as reserves. Since 2022, Tether and Circle have increased their holdings of short-term U.S. Treasuries by about $70 billion.
BIS data reveals the trump card: dollar stablecoins account for 99.4% of the global $320 billion market. In non-dollar regions, transactions using dollar stablecoins to purchase local currencies make up over 70% of recent trading activity. Sachs and Bessent have long identified stablecoins as tools to "expand dollar dominance."
This is the dollar system's "proxy war" strategy in the CBDC race. Not relying on central banks, but on private enterprises. For the crypto market, this means regulation on stablecoins will tighten faster, but it also means the global penetration of dollar stablecoins will deepen. In the short term, this benefits leading compliant issuers; in the long term, it squeezes the survival space of non-dollar stablecoins. Apple stock can now be used as collateral to borrow $USDC
Collateral cap is 29 million, supply cap is 32 million.
The data looks like this: 7 US stock tokens, collateral ratios from 65% to 79%.
Working backward, the maximum loanable amount is 21 million.
What is the bet here: Coinbase puts stocks on-chain, Aave acts as the channel.
From a market maker’s perspective, this is a new leg.
But 29 million is just a drop in the bucket compared to the US stock market.
Simply put, the pool is too shallow; big money can’t get in.
I’ll consider reallocating when the cap reaches hundreds of millions.
At this depth now, even someone like me with minimal holdings finds it crowded.
Just watching for now, no rush to move.

Supply squeeze breakout, or will compliance friction stall the run?$BTC #FedHikesBTCResilience The US spot BTC ETF has seen net inflows for six consecutive trading days, totaling over $2.8 billion.
At the same time, Binance experienced a single-day net outflow exceeding 13,800 BTC, the largest since 2023.
According to common narratives, this should be a strong combination of "institutional buying + exchange supply decline."
However, BTC is still only around $84,400, about 3.4% below the September 21 high of $87,392.
There is a key distinction here:
ETF inflows represent real demand; exchange outflows are merely fund transfers and cannot be directly defined as buying.
Current data more strongly supports "a potential decline in sellable supply and sustained spot demand," but it is not yet enough to confirm a breakout.
The next step to verify is not to continue counting how much BTC flows out, but whether the price can reclaim the $86,700–$87,400 range.
If the ETF continues net inflows and this range is retaken, the capital structure gains price confirmation; if inflows persist but the breakout fails, then the supply pressure at the high level needs to be re-evaluated. ETH pulled from 1900 to 2800 then dropped back to 2678, is it stalling?
Seems like those who bought haven't left.
Something strange happened on-chain:
Priority fees +26.74% in one day, about $464,000, gas usage only +0.26%, block count 7147, almost unchanged.
The network isn't busier, but more money was spent.
Only one explanation: someone is bidding up to jump the queue, competing for the same block capacity.
Let me explain what priority fee means: how much more users are willing to pay to get faster processing.
CryptoQuant analysts: gas usage hasn't dropped significantly, indicating that even with the price pullback, demand for Ethereum block space hasn't materially weakened.
Price fell, but no one stopped rushing to get on-chain.
Investing now is really headache-inducing, there's so much to learn, that's the pain of short-term waves.
Supply is even tighter on this side.
On-chain data analytics firm Santiment: only 3.49% of ETH remains on exchanges, down another 1.16% since June 1, summer levels once dropped to what Ethereum saw in its early years.
35% of what's left is staked, DeFi still locks up 53 billion, BitMine alone holds 5.98 million coins, 85% also staked.
The spot available to grab is less than you think.
But there are still bullets and loopholes.
Binance ERC-20 stablecoins rose from the August low of 42 billion back to 43.8 billion (still below this year's high of 49 billion). BTC and ETH are becoming new financial collateral
A large Russian bank recently announced
plans to accept BTC and ETH as loan collateral
under regulatory approval
Many people see such news
and their first reaction is short-term bullishness
But the real significance
is not how much buying it immediately brings
but that the financial identity of digital assets is changing
In the past, BTC and ETH were mostly seen as investment products
Traditional financial institutions were willing to observe
but rarely truly integrated them into lending processes
Now banks are discussing custody
collateral ratios
margin calls and liquidation mechanisms
This indicates the market is moving from whether they can be traded
to whether they can be used by the financial system
BTC has stronger reserve attributes
and its market depth and consensus foundation are more mature
ETH has a more complex ecological value
It is not only related to price
but also connected to staking networks and on-chain applications
Of course, becoming collateral does not mean there is no risk
BTC and ETH prices still fluctuate greatly
Banks cannot lend at full market value
In the future, they are more likely to adopt lower collateral ratios
dynamic margin calls
and strict liquidation rules
Investors should no longer only watch whether funds buy $BTC and $ETH
but also pay attention to whether they enter lending
settlement and asset management systems
When digital assets can be used as collateral
can obtain credit
and participate in financial pricing
they truly begin to approach financial infrastructure
Price increases are only surface changes
The expansion of financial functions is a deeper signalLet's take a look at the XRP part. The current price is about 1.585. XRP rose more than 3% today, with the daily high reaching 1.63 at one point, making it one of the biggest gainers today. But looking at the daily chart, it seems more like a correction after a breakout, then testing higher again, without giving any special signals yet. So for XRP this round, I’m not specifically calling for new short positions, just observing and advising not to trade lightly. For those who already have short positions, just follow the original take-profit and stop-loss orders: for the remaining half, if the stop-loss is set near the entry price of 1.61, the spike to 1.63 today already means breaking even and exiting, which is discipline; for those still holding positions, the last line of defense remains 1.72—if it breaks, you must exit and never hold on stubbornly. For long positions, consider only near the 1.35 range at the bottom of the zone; if it’s not there yet, stay out and wait. Regarding take-profit, I really find it hard to give advice—it depends on each person’s own luck. The points I gave before have mostly been reached, so today is the time to make your own decisions carefully. On the capital flow side, the latest US spot XRP ETF is set for September 24, with a net inflow of about 14.9 million USD, the third-best day this month, and institutional inflows are still ongoing. On the contracts side, the perpetual funding rate for XRP on OKX is around a normal level of 0.01%, with open interest slightly higher than this morning at about 75 million tokens, and leverage has followed the price back. When the price rises, leverage stacks up, and it falls back more sharply. On the news front, September 30 It's not that there's no fear of tightening, but rather a bet on a policy turning point
The Fed remains on hold, but hawkish signals have not ceased. Several officials have consecutively sent tightening signals, and the market's bet on another rate hike before the end of the year has risen to over 50%. However, BTC still holds steady around 86,000, with the capital game not about risk aversion but about "peak interest rates."
But resistance to decline does not mean immunity. Long-term U.S. Treasury yields are approaching 5%, and mortgage rates remain high. If tightening is implemented again, rising real interest rates will first suppress risk assets; if 86,000 is breached, liquidity support will be tested. Conversely, if the pause button is pressed, the dollar will fall, shorts will cover, and BTC may directly challenge previous highs.
The key is not a single action, but whether tightening becomes the norm. One instance can be digested, but continuous tightening kills valuations. Currently, BTC is running ahead on "limited tightening" rather than "permanent easing."
If there is another move in October, the current rebound is an early overdraft; if the choice is to wait and see, off-market funds will be forced to chase higher. The direction is not in the candlesticks but in the Fed's wording.
Are you betting on a move in October or not?
#美联储官员密集发声，加息还要持续多久？ #BTC冲高回落，市场轮动开始了吗？ #美伊恢复接触，风险溢价会降吗？ $BTC $ETH $SOL Last winter, I was pulled into a group by an old friend. He kept posting screenshots every day, some green, some red. I kept watching and got hooked. I first bought some $BTC. After buying, it dropped. Those days, I even skipped breakfast. Tossing and turning at night, I kept wanting to check the market on my phone. Later, after holding on for quite a while, I quickly sold on the day I broke even. Made enough for a barbecue meal. I became more sensible. Now I only use spare money to buy $ETH. If it drops, I don't add more. If it rises, I don't chase. The calls in the group, I just take them as jokes. If they were really that accurate, they'd have quietly gotten rich themselves. I also tried $SOL. It’s really fast, but my heart couldn't keep up. Sold after holding for two days. Slept soundly at night. This stuff, playing with spare money is fine. Borrowing money to rush in is a trap. Don't always think about getting rich overnight. First, think about what to do if you lose it all. I rarely check the market now. Work when I should work, sleep when I should sleep. Profits are luck, losses are tuition fees. Living steadily is better than anything else. #财报观察员：好市多业绩超预期，美光接棒

#Muse加速扩张，MetaAI投入或迎来变现 LINK stands at 13.79 USDT
$LINK is currently at 13.79 USDT, up 10.1% in 24h. Outside, CoinMarketCap has acquired CoinGlass to expand derivatives data. On the exchange, it’s still moving as it should.
The intraday high reached 14.22 USDT, and the current price is not far from that level. The 24h trading volume is 26.8 million USDT, showing significant volume on the chart. The chips in hand are turning over quite frequently.
Nearby, $SUI rose +11.0%, and $ZEC also gained +4.2%. It roughly moves up together with this batch of popular coins, not a one-sided move. The pace is basically consistent.
I see it has accumulated +13.4% this week, with most of the gains happening in the past day. The short-term rise is indeed very sharp, with a much faster rhythm than the previous days.
I’m watching the support near the previous high closely. Since the short-term rise is so steep, I don’t plan to rush in; better to watch more and act less to avoid getting stuck. I’ll wait for this momentum to ease before making a move. Let's take a look at Dogecoin. The current price is about 0.0979. Today it bounced more than 2% along with altcoins, with the daily high around 0.099, which is very close to our target level but hasn't actually touched it yet. The approach for Dogecoin is simple: once it reaches 0.1, we short it, with a stop loss set at 0.12. It's currently around 0.098, just a little short, so don't rush to short below that; wait until it hits 0.1 before taking action. Enter the position when the price arrives, wait if it doesn't—there's no need to hesitate. For taking profit, similar to Solana, it's really hard for me to give advice; it depends on individual luck. The key point is to set the stop loss at 0.12 first; if it breaks that, cut losses immediately—don't wait until 0.15 to wake up. The short position opened previously near 0.101 hasn't been touched by today's high yet; just keep holding the remaining half with the original take profit and stop loss. For long positions, consider only when it pulls back to around the 0.08 support range. On the supply side, Dogecoin doesn't have ETF daily flow data like Bitcoin; it mainly follows altcoin sentiment and contract leverage. On OKX, Dogecoin perpetual funding rate is around 0.01%, which is a normal level; open interest is slightly higher than this morning, about 1.02 billion coins, and leverage is slowly returning. Sentiment coins pump up quickly and drop fast too, so don't hold too heavy a position when shorting at the right time. On the news front, it is highly correlated with the overall market and altcoin sentiment; today's rally followed Solana and Ripple together.$ONE looks increasingly abandoned.
After the August exploit that reportedly forged ~3T ONE and forced a 140K+ block rollback, trust in the chain took another major hit following the 2022 Horizon bridge hack.
TVL has collapsed from around $1B to roughly $150K, while on-chain activity and fees have nearly disappeared.
With the migration to Ethereum, shrinking market cap, and validators exiting, the L1 economy looks severely weakened.
For now, the fundamentals offer little reason for optimism. Staring at the K-line all afternoon, my eyes are blurry. Let me share with everyone the current 4-hour chart of ETH.
First, a self-mock: after playing contracts for so long, the tuition fees from liquidations could have paid for many big meals. Now I've learned my lesson, no longer impulsively going all in; I patiently rely on this Bollinger Bands oscillation strategy to wait for opportunities.
Look at this chart: Bollinger upper band at 2797, lower band at 2644, price is stuck oscillating in the middle, neither up nor down—a typical grinding market. It can't break up or down, just small wicks back and forth, specifically messing with those who can't stand the wait. If it were me before, I'd have itchy hands opening positions early and then get harshly punished by the wicks.
My thinking is simple: the big picture is bullish, but I absolutely don't chase highs. I don't guess whether it will directly pull up to 2800, nor do I bet on a sudden drop. I just obediently wait for a pullback to open a base position. If it dips further, I'll start hedging with short positions for protection, then add longs once it stabilizes; if it breaks the hard stop-loss line, I won't hesitate to exit immediately—no holding on stubbornly.
On the MACD side, the red bars are shrinking, showing short-term bullish momentum is weakening, which also means don't rush to push up now. Using 50x leverage looks tempting but has ridiculously low tolerance for error; missing by just a few points means total liquidation. Don't be fooled by how easy it seems to make money in a range-bound market—once a strong one-sided trend emerges, this strategy can suffer consecutive stop-loss hits.
I've been tinkering with Python scripts on my Mac for a while and am preparing to run them on a VPS to monitor the market automatically. The essence isn't to predict the market but to control my own hands and reduce emotional, random orders in the middle of the night. BTC pulled back after surging to $87,400: a shakeout or a failed breakout?
The daily trend remains bullish, with the 4-hour chart currently testing support. The $88,000 resistance is strong, but it’s too early to conclude the rebound is over.
This rally was driven by ETF spot buying and short stop-losses, not just contract spikes. Open interest declined during the pullback, funding rates briefly turned negative, and high-leverage longs were cleared; ETFs still saw net inflows, and exchange balances did not increase significantly. This looks more like profit-taking and high-level rotation rather than a concentrated institutional exit.
Technically, the daily chart remains above short-term moving averages, and the uptrend structure is intact; however, the 4-hour highs are lower, volume hasn’t expanded, and bulls have shifted from offense to defense.
Key zones to watch:
$83,000–$84,000 is the first support; holding here could lead to a rebound to $86,000 and then retesting $87,400–$88,000;
$80,000–$82,000 is the lifeline; a break here is normal for a shakeout, but if it breaks and fails to recover on a rebound, weakness will set in;
Only a volume-backed hold above $88,000 can open the $90,000–$92,000 range.
On the macro side, US stock risk appetite hasn’t fully deteriorated yet, but the 10-year US Treasury yield has risen above 5%, and high interest rates continue to limit BTC’s upside.
In the coming days, expect consolidation first, then a directional choice. Watch $82,000 for support; if missed, wait for a pullback confirmation; the bias is bullish but that doesn’t mean every level is a buy.
$ETH $SOL $BTC $AKE No big picture, can't hold on, this wave of profit is as thin as paper, but I love it to death.😎
When the market was just crushed in the early session, AKE had strong sell orders, low trading volume, and obvious resistance above, a typical sign of a continued decline. When others were running, I suggested following the trend to short, opened a short position at 0.05149, not perfect but good enough.
Then the answer came directly: 0.03637, short position +587.29% profit in hand, worth the wait, really satisfying. The earlier hesitation, the drop was ruthless, big gains.
The premise of compounding is survival; the shortcut to getting rich is often going to zero.
Hold as long as the trend is intact, run when it breaks, don't fall in love with the market.
Position management: first close 80%, keep 20% at cost price for protection, don't let profits become uncomfortable if it rebounds. Now is not the time to rush, chasing shorts easily gets stuck halfway, wait for a more comfortable position in the next round, opportunities remain, don't be anxious.💥
$ETH $LAB A reminder of a signal many overlook but that can overturn risk assets: the Japanese yen.
Tonight, the USD/JPY briefly fell below 157, dropping over 1% intraday. Behind the yen's sharp rise is often a carry trade unwind—money borrowed cheaply in yen to buy global risk assets starts to pull back. The global stock crash in August last year was triggered by a yen carry unwind.
High-beta assets like $BTC are always the first to be thrown off in such deleveraging. I'm not saying there will be a crash tonight, but this tension must be kept taut. Don't just focus on the Federal Reserve; moves from the Bank of Japan can equally decide the fate of your positions. Are you watching the yen?🚨 $ETH — $1.154B LIQUIDATION INTENSITY ≠ $1.154B LOST! 👀
That $1.154B represents positions at risk—not realized losses or guaranteed sell orders.
📊 ETH range: $2,576 ↔ $2,822
⚠️ Large leveraged positions are stacked across the zone.
📉 If ETH approaches $2,576, forced liquidations could increase selling pressure and potentially trigger further liquidations below.
🧠 Key takeaway:
Liquidation intensity = potential positions at risk, not money already lost.

Based on the entry prices and quantities provided, the combined entry notional comes to approximately $312.6M, before accounting for current mark prices, margin requirements, trading fees, or funding costs. Key levels to monitor: - ETH: Short entry around $2,337, with liquidation near $4,000 — approximately +71% above the entry level. - BTC: Short entry around $74,443, with liquidation near $146,000 — roughly +CORE's Twitter scoop on the evening of 9.25: all positive news remains at the expectation stage
On the evening of September 25, after browsing CORE's official X, there was no major announcement that shook the scene; it was all reposted content, basically continuing the momentum from the overseas roadshow.
The official account reposted a partner's post, saying that communication with US banks is still ongoing, mainly discussing BTC-Fi compliance integration and institutional custody solutions. Note that these are just negotiations, with no signing or implementation announcements yet.
On the developer side, the DApp has version updates; native BTC staking can participate in a new round of testing, which is laying groundwork for SatPay, still in the testing phase.
Community admins in the comments were chased by overseas users asking about token unlocks and mainnet performance, only saying the roadmap won't change, but still cannot give a clear launch date for SatPay.
Now the overseas community is split in two, with completely opposing views.
The bulls' logic is straightforward: business talks in the US haven't stopped, the BTC-Fi story is still alive. The market retraced to the 0.02335 SuperTrend support on the 15-minute chart, price held, and they believe it's just a consolidation phase waiting for news to trigger a move.
⚠️ All news is still in the expectation fermentation stage, with no concrete results yet, combined with token unlock selling pressure, the narrative-driven market has high uncertainty. $BTC #OKX星球话题来啦 Let's take a look at the Ethereum part. The current price is about 2,694. It rose slightly today, with the high in the past 24 hours around 2,740 before coming back down. Looking at the daily chart, it’s similar to Bitcoin, still in the correction phase after the previous breakout, without a clear direction. There are no special signals here; my suggestion is to keep observing and not to trade lightly. The big picture hasn't changed; long positions should still wait for the bottom of the range, roughly between 2,400 and 2,500, before considering entry. Enter only when the price returns to that order zone, and set stop-losses accordingly; if it doesn't come back, just wait and don't rush. It is highly correlated with Bitcoin; when the market is correcting, it follows suit. This is when it's easiest to get itchy hands wanting to do something, but if the position isn't right, entering is just gambling on direction. Patience gives you the chance to get in at a good position. Today altcoins are rotating, Ethereum only rose slightly, so there's no need to rush just because others are rising. On the capital side, the latest US spot Ethereum ETF settled on September 24, with a net inflow of about 66 million USD, marking the fifth consecutive trading day of inflows; the numbers for September 25 are not yet out. On the contracts side, the Ethereum perpetual funding rate on OKX is slightly positive, within the normal range, not overheated. The support is still there, but the funding bias and whether the current price is suitable for opening positions are two different things; don't rush to chase just because you see inflows. On the news front, US Treasury yields and the dollar are both high, and the market's expectation for the Fed to continue raising rates hasn't dissipated, which will weigh on risk assets. Additionally, Bitget was hacked.Don't just focus on the crypto circle, look up and check out the neighboring AI and storage sectors.
Tonight, the US stock storage sector broadly rose, with Micron, SanDisk, and SK Hynix all soaring. Bank of America also raised AMD's target price from 620 to 720. Hot money is getting more and more hyped in the AI narrative, and this is like grasshoppers on the same rope as $BTC — the same batch of risk appetite money, rising together and falling together.
What I fear most when playing cards is everyone at the table going All in on the same hand. The more aggressively AI stacks up, once funding costs can't hold, the sharper the pullback will be. This isn't a call to short, but a reminder not to treat this wave as risk-free. Are you adding or reducing your AI stocks?PMI surged to 58.4, directly wiping out rate cut expectations. The 10-year bond yield topped around 5.11, and BTC, as a non-yielding asset, is being drained. After breaking below 85,000, the massive long liquidation cluster above 86,184 has been pierced, and the liquidation map clearly leans bearish.
Just turned into a backstreet and parked the car sideways, a collection SMS popped up again, I pressed the screen off and continued watching the market.
The MACD green bars shortening only indicates deceleration, RSI is still in the neutral zone, so it’s not oversold at all, meaning limited rebound space. Current price is around 83,307; a rebound to 84,200–84,800 is a short entry zone. Place stop-loss defense above 86,200; if it effectively stands back above the liquidation cluster, admit the mistake and exit.
Take profit first looks at 81,000; if broken, then 79,500. After breaking below 82,500, don’t chase shorts; wait for a rebound to enter again.

@OKX星球 Something worth watching today if you're trading SOL:
A significant portion of Solana options open interest is expiring.
Reported key strike areas include $90, $105 and $125.
SOL is currently around $118.
That puts the $125 area particularly close to the current market.
Don't treat options expiry as a guaranteed directional signal.
Instead, watch how price behaves as liquidity around these levels changes.Tonight's group teaching process post sharing.
This time, the Bitcoin $BTC trend is judged through the resistance of the trading system and the large structure. Many people can't find a basis for making trades here, and there are various opinions on where the resistance is. I hope this article will be helpful to you.
This method has traces of Chan theory, considered a kind of Chan theory, along with some classical retracement analysis.
(This type of analysis often merges trends and better follows the large structure, which is also the reason for the analysis below.)
First, let's look at the main resistance zone, see Figure 3. My current target is to try an extremely small entry range around 81800, with a stop loss of about 400.
Let's look at the large structure for the reason. We can see that we merge small trends into a large trend, which fits the situation from both the 4-hour level and the daily chart (Figures 1 and 2). At this time, the front of the blue line is the highest point, and then the market progresses on the large structure, only reaching the second highest point. In the recent days' large structure, the bulls are in a slightly weak phase.
This also fits pure naked K analysis. After the initial large bullish candle on the 4-hour chart in Figure 1, several bullish candles successively shorten, then the bears test, bulls counterattack, then the pullback is still resisted, followed by bears gaining strength.
Note that currently, the weekly large structure and the daily overall still favor the bulls, so this is viewed as a retracement to find a reliable support for going long.

The market slightly lifted but lacked follow-through, shorted midway at 4295, stopped at 75, 20 points, 4000-dollar support zone! Last fall, an old classmate pulled me into a group chat.
Every day someone posted screenshots,
saying how much they earned today.
I kept watching and got itchy hands,
secretly bought some $BTC.
Right after buying, it started to drop.
During that time, I even smoked less.
At night, lying in bed, I kept wanting to check my phone.
After nearly three months of endurance,
I finally broke even.
Quickly sold it,
made enough for a hotpot meal.
I became more sensible.
Now I only use spare money to buy $ETH.
If it drops, I don’t add more.
If it rises, I don’t chase.
The calls in the group,
I treat them like comedy.
If they were really that accurate,
I’d be quietly making money myself.
I also tried $SOL,
it’s really fast,
my heart couldn’t keep up.
Held it for two days and sold.
Sleep well at night.
This stuff,
playing with spare money is fine.
Borrowing money to rush in is a trap.
Don’t always think about getting rich overnight.
First, think about what to do if you lose everything.
I rarely check the market now.
Work when I should work,
sleep when I should sleep.
Earnings are luck,
losses are tuition fees.

#Muse加速扩张，MetaAI投入或迎来变现 Let's take a look at the Bitcoin section. The current price is about 83,890. Overall today, the market is mixed; Bitcoin has actually dipped slightly, fluctuating between 83,400 and 85,300 in the past 24 hours. Looking at the daily chart, it is still in the correction phase after the previous surge, without establishing a new direction. There are no special signals here, so my advice is to observe a bit longer and avoid making hasty moves. The big picture framework hasn't changed: to say this rally is over, Bitcoin needs to truly break below 74,000; until then, avoid bearish bets lightly. For long positions, it's better to position around 78,000 or 80,000 and only enter when the price returns there, with stop-losses set accordingly. The current price is in the middle, so don't chase longs or rush to short. Corrections themselves aren't scary; what's scary is repeatedly entering and exiting without signals, getting shaken out mentally. No signals means no action is also a form of strategy. Today, altcoins performed better—Solana, Ripple, and Dogecoin all bounced, while Bitcoin is resting. This doesn't mean Bitcoin is weakening; it's more like capital rotation. But it also doesn't mean Bitcoin will follow immediately; position matters, so don't rush to chase Bitcoin just because altcoins are rising. On the capital flow side, the latest US spot Bitcoin ETF was settled on September 24, with a net inflow of about 190 million USD, marking the sixth consecutive trading day of inflows. September 25 in the US Eastern time zone hasn't closed yet, so the numbers aren't out; let's not force the data. Regarding contracts, on OKX, Bitcoin perpetual...When looking at the rebound, don't just focus on how many points it has risen; first see who is leading the rally and whether volume is supporting it.
Today $SOL led the rebound with over a 4% gain, $ETH followed with a 1% rise, but $BTC basically moved sideways — this is not a healthy broad rally, it's capital searching for elasticity in altcoins while the leaders haven't taken over. Be especially cautious with rebounds on low volume; a rebound without volume support is mostly just bears catching their breath, not a trend reversal.
My principle is simple: if the rebound structure isn't confirmed, I don't change direction. Wait for it to gain volume and hold steady before talking about a reversal. Do you think this wave is a rebound grab or a catch of a falling knife?This wave of $SOL is rising a bit slowly, moving a small step each day, just like clocking in for work. I checked this morning, it was green, but just a tiny bit green.
Many people dislike the slow pace and grumble while switching to chase coins with explosive gains. I’m not switching. When it’s really time to sell, the market won’t look like this; there will be volume spikes, sharp rallies, screens full of profit-taking posts, and retail investors lining up to buy. This slow grind means chips are slowly changing hands, from those who can’t hold to those who can. No one is dumping large amounts downward, which is a good thing.
A few years ago, I used to chase the sharp rallies, feeling pumped like I was on a rocket. But I always ended up standing on the peak, getting cut right before dawn. Later, I learned to be smarter and only go for these slow grinds. The rise is slow, but every bit of profit is kept.
Grinding markets test patience more than vision. The candlestick charts look boring, but chips are changing hands daily, making the base stronger and stronger. Those eager to make quick money have mostly left; those remaining plan to hold for a while. Selling pressure is getting lighter, making the subsequent rise easier.
For those itching to do T trading, a word of advice: in grinding markets, nine times out of ten, you’ll lose chips on the wrong trade, gaining a little but losing a big position.
$SOL is currently in this kind of grinding phase. When the day comes with volume surges and big bullish candles, and screens are full of profit posts, then it’s not too late to talk about selling. For now, holding is better than anything else.$ENA missed out! Frustrating!! I studied it a while ago and even mentioned in a post that $ENA might perform well later, but I still couldn't make up my mind to go long and missed this rapid surge. Looking back now, it has already risen 300% from the bottom, and the bullish momentum is still strong. The outlook remains optimistic, but the current cost-performance ratio isn't as good, and chasing the high risks getting stuck. The key factor for whether it can continue to rise will depend on whether there is any positive news soon, but being stuck in this awkward position of neither high nor low is really a bit uncomfortable! WAY Tracking｜Yesterday observed support at 1,500, ZEC has returned to 1,590 today: Is it time to chase now?
Yesterday I mentioned that although the news around ZEC is mostly positive, the real key is not to rush in but to see if anyone is willing to support around 1,500 on the pullback.
The lowest point today was about 1,491, without a direct collapse, then it rebounded back to around 1,590. This indicates initial buying interest around 1,500 and confirms the direction observed yesterday.
But this does not mean it’s safe to chase longs now.
ZEC’s intraday volatility remains high, with resistance in the short term around 1,600–1,620. If it breaks above but cannot hold, it’s easy to see another spike and drop; plus, BTC is still consolidating around 83,800, so even if ZEC is strong, it’s hard to be completely unaffected by the overall market.
I will be watching two scenarios next:
🟢 After a pullback to 1,530–1,550, it holds and then strengthens again.
🟡 Breaks through 1,620 and does not immediately fall back, confirming resistance has turned into support.
If it falls below 1,500 and the rebound is weak, be cautious that yesterday’s support was just a short-term bounce.
Tonight at 20:30 there is the US durable goods orders report, and at 22:00 consumer confidence and inflation expectations data. Before the data release, rather than chasing prices in the middle of the range, it’s better to wait for the market to show a clear direction.
Will you wait for a pullback, wait for a breakout, or want to chase now?
The above is market observation and does not constitute investment advice.
#ZEC #BTC #WAY追蹤 #交易風控 #OKXToday's market, to be honest, feels a bit chaotic with everyone running wild. Small caps are rallying one after another fiercely, but whether they can hold is another matter. $QI 24h +201.2%, doubling in a day, I won't chase this kind of move; it's a typical pump-and-dump rhythm, entering just means carrying the previous players' gains, better to watch the show. $PHA 24h +45.0%, the privacy sector has been stirred up again, rising sharply, but such sudden surges in old coins are mostly news-driven, be cautious chasing highs. $ARK 24h +25.2%, this one has been quiet for a long time, suddenly pumping like this, I see it as an oversold rebound plus riding a hot topic, sustainability is doubtful, don't get carried away. $XPL 24h +19.8%, a new face starting to attract funds, the increase isn't exaggerated, can be watched but don't rush in. $QNT 24h +17.5%, a veteran cross-chain concept, moving steadily, this kind of rise feels more reliable, worth watching on pullbacks. $CHIP 24h +16.8%, small coin following the trend, volume is average, a typical late-stage sector rotation stock, I avoid it. $NEAR has appeared on CoinGecko's trending list, the veteran public chain has been active recently, heat is back but price hasn't moved much, worth keeping an eye on. $EDEL is also on the trending list, a new project with strong hype, such newcomers require caution against dumping, don't be the bag holder. $ONDO is a frequent on the trending list, RWA narrative still has buyers, fundamentals are decent, pullbacks are opportunities not risks. $BP Tonight, the USD/JPY fell below 157, and the three major US stock indices opened higher. The comment section is once again shouting "risk-on is back, $BTC is about to take off." For those who play cards, they are most wary of such a one-day tailwind.
My bearish foundation these past two days has never been a certain candlestick, but the interest rate environment: the 10-year US Treasury yield is still above 5%, and money is flowing into the "risk-free 5%". A one-day dollar pullback and stock market rally cannot change this underlying level.
What really needs attention is not whether it rose today, but when interest rates will truly turn around. Until then, I only regard the rebound as a rebound. What do you think, is this a reversal or just a breather? At 4 PM today (UTC 08:00), $15.9 billion worth of Bitcoin options on Deribit have officially settled (articles 96, 99, 101 have detailed analyses of the pre-expiry structure). The real question now is: after options expiry, how does BTC usually move? First, historical data provides clear statistical patterns. The official knowledge base entry "Impact of Bitcoin Options Settlement Day on Price" offers key data: after settlement, hedging pressure is released, the market experiences "Gamma release," and prices revert to their original trend or fundamental drivers, with short-term disturbances typically absorbed within 3-5 trading days. More importantly, there is a directional pattern: when call options dominate, the probability of a post-settlement rise is about 63%; when put options dominate, the probability of a decline is about 58%. In a bull market, large settlements tend to continue the upward trend, while during consolidation or correction phases, short-term declines may occur but rarely change the medium- to long-term trend. The structure of this expiry is: call/put ratio 0.69 (call dominant), 55% of call options are in-the-money, and the max pain point at 75,000 is far below the current price of 84,000+ — according to historical patterns, the probability of a post-settlement rise is about 63%. But there is an important premise: "in a bull market." What stage is BTC currently in? It has rebounded from the June low of 58,525 to 87,381 (+49%), just broke above the 50-week moving average (confirmed by Galaxy Research), and Tom Lee declared "the bull market has arrived" (article 99) — if the market accepts the "bull market" characterization, then 63%If only every trade could be profitable… Three trades. Three completely different outcomes: One took profit. One is being held stubbornly. And one is still sitting deep in the abyss. $ETH short: I admit defeat. Entered at 2696, closed at 2676, locking in +67% / +18U. After three consecutive short trades, this time I finally chose to take the profit. With 100x full position, the profit isn’t huge—barely enough for a hotpot meal. 😂 But profit that’s actually in your pocket is still profit. Then I already rehearsed with this 1099-DA thing last year in advance.
At the time, I was quite optimistic: the exchange reports income, I just fill in the cost basis on my side, and the profit and loss would automatically come out, saving a lot of trouble.
But the result was, the form only showed the sale amount, and the cost column was left blank.
I spent the whole night going through hundreds of transaction records—gas fees, cross-chain, airdrops, swaps—I had to reconcile everything myself, one by one.
The IRS said brokers won’t report cost basis until 2026, which means for the next two tax seasons, retail investors still have to act as their own market makers and do their own bookkeeping.
The lesson is: don’t expect the platform to calculate everything clearly for you; in the end, you have to handle all the on-chain stuff yourself.
Let’s see if next year’s form really adds a cost column.

That's roughly +96% from entry.#FedHikesBTCResilience #CostcoBeatsMicronNext #USTreasuryYieldsRise Early this morning, a more significant event than the BTC options expiration is unfolding in the bond market—but it has barely been noticed by the crypto community. First, the yield on the U.S. 30-year Treasury hit 5.446%, the highest level since June 2004. Today's headlines, reprinted from Global Market Report, confirmed this data: the 20-year Treasury yield rose to 5.560% (+0.71%), the 10-year to 5.195% (+0.62%), and the 5-year to 5.066% (+0.78%). The entire U.S. Treasury yield curve is moving upward in unison to levels unseen in 20 years. More worrisome is that Philadelphia Fed President Patrick Harker publicly stated today (September 25) that "if the economic trajectory meets expectations, the Fed may need to raise rates further to bring inflation back to the 2% target." This is the second FOMC member in a week, after Williams (article 93), to clearly signal a rate hike. Harker is a voting member of the FOMC in 2026; he supported last week's 25 basis point hike and believes that "with inflation persistently high and limited progress in easing, the risk balance has shifted." CME FedWatch now shows nearly a 75% chance of a rate hike in October. Second, the Japanese government bond market is simultaneously "collapsing." 21jingji.com reported today that the yield on Japan's 10-year government bond briefly rose to 3.115%, the highest in 30 years and 1 month since August 1996. Kyodo News pointed out that this is influenced by the rise in U.S. long-term Treasury yields, with the market concerned about the originalDuring last year's bull market, I lost over 50,000 yuan just trading SOL.

But unexpectedly, the hole in losses only grows bigger. I once thought I was trading, but in reality, I was gambling with my life. Unwilling to accept the losses that have already happened, trapped by sunk costs, I ended up messing up my own life. Brothers, don't follow my old path! High leverage and stubbornly holding losing positions will only sink you step by step into the abyss. Now, I just want to find a stable night shift job, earn money steadily, and slowly pay off my debts. Without money, I can earn slowly, and life can start over.

Long and short positions both suffer! Before the $15.6 billion options expiration, the 84,000 defense line repeatedly changed hands.
Current price around 84,600-85,200 USDT, 24h increase about +0.3%~+2.0%, intraday dipped to 82,945 before a V-shaped rebound, with a high point reaching 85,239. 24h total network liquidations about $335 million, bulls account for 63% ($213 million), shorts liquidated $122 million, both sides suffered large-scale liquidations, with 82,597 people liquidated.
Macro pressure continues to intensify. The 10-year US Treasury yield closed at 5.207%, the 30-year touched 5.47%, both hitting multi-year highs, with the October rate hike probability rising to 67.5%-75%. Multiple Federal Reserve officials collectively hawkish overnight.
ETF net inflows for 6 consecutive days. On September 24, net inflow was $190.7 million, IBIT led with $162.6 million, totaling about $2.84 billion over 6 days. Binance single-day net outflow exceeded 13,800 BTC, platform reserves dropped from 705,000 to 685,000 BTC in 4 days.

#美联储重启加息，BTC为何仍有韧性？ #Muse accelerates expansion, MetaAI investment may usher in monetization. Folks, Meta's moves at the Connect conference are no longer just about hyping the AI concept; they are genuinely paving the way to monetize AI.
Let's first look at what they've done. They launched the standalone AI device Muse Charm, integrated Muse into smart glasses, and added service connections with retail giants like Walmart, Best Buy, and Gap. JPMorgan directly stated that Muse has the potential to become the most widely used consumer AI application after ChatGPT. Driven by this expectation, Meta's stock price has strengthened significantly since September, with its market value approaching $2 trillion.
Let me translate the core logic behind this for you. Previously, people worried that Meta's AI efforts were a bottomless money pit. Now, by combining hardware and services, they've turned the AI Agent into an entry point that helps you shop. You say a command to the glasses or small device, and it places an order for you at Walmart. This is no longer just a chat tool; it directly links traffic and transactions.
But don't just look at the thief eating the meat and ignore the thief getting hit. The market has already priced in very high expectations for Meta's AI investment returns, so the risk of overvaluation is right in front of us. The most critical next step is whether the Muse ecosystem can truly generate solid revenue through subscription fees or transaction commissions. Selling hardware alone cannot support a $2 trillion valuation.
This also reflects on our crypto circle. The deep integration of AI and consumer hardwareEarnings Observer: Walmart's Results Released, Oracle Takes Over
Walmart's earnings report laid out the resilience of U.S. retail on the table. Total revenue reached 172 billion, up 6.8%, e-commerce business grew by 22%, and gross margin also improved. People are still spending, just more selectively; inflation stickiness won't dissipate quickly, so the Fed's rate cut pace will be delayed, and BTC will remain trapped in the interest rate expectations cage in the short term.
Next week is Oracle's turn. It tests another line: whether cloud infrastructure and AI orders can continue to translate into revenue. Last quarter, Oracle grew by 4%, Microsoft Cloud by 3%, and the cloud computing sector has already priced in optimistic sentiment. If Oracle's earnings exceed expectations and the AI infrastructure narrative continues to heat up, the computing power and electricity logic behind BTC will also benefit. If it falls short, tech stocks will be pressured, and BTC won't escape the correlation.
Currently, BTC is tugging around 92,000, with dense selling pressure between 95,000 and 96,000 above, and 90,000 as a short-term defense line below. Walmart proved consumption hasn't collapsed, implying a high probability the Fed will hold steady in November, while the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield remains pressured above 4.8%. In this environment, it's difficult for BTC to break out into a one-sided trend. Oracle's earnings report is the next trigger point, but don't rush to bet before the data lands. Wait for the direction to become clear before making a move. $BTC $ETH $SOL
#美联储重启加息，BTC为何仍有韧性？ #财报观察员：好市多业绩超预期，美光接棒 #美联储重启加息，BTC为何仍有韧性？
What pushed BTC down was not the rate hike, but an economic data report.
▪️ On 9/24, stronger-than-expected business activity data pushed the 10-year US Treasury yield to 5.196% (the highest since 2007)
▪️ October rate hike pricing rose from 40.1% to 69.7%; BTC hit an 8-month high of 87,397 on 9/21
▪️ On 9/24, BTC dropped 3.8%, longs were liquidated for 270 million; on the same day, ETF net inflows were 190.7 million
The divergence is not about whether BTC has become insensitive to interest rates, but that the money hit by rates and the money not hit are not the same. The liquidated positions are borrowed funds, while the incoming funds are cash on the books.
From 9/17, six days of zero ETF outflows: 9/21 single-day 999 million, 9/22 still 715 million. But the cumulative amount until 9/23 only turned positive for the first time in 2026, about 320 million.
So the question "Can institutional funds maintain the rhythm?" is off: this is not a rhythm, it is wiping out more than nine months of accounts at once. The only thing that can break six consecutive positives is: the first net outflow.
There will be another rate hike landing. Are you betting that the allocation side can withstand it, or that the first net outflow will come first?
