Top influencers say whether LINK is valuable or not, it rose 1.22% after the event
$LINK moved from 12.905 to 13.063 after the event. Direction first signal: I'm bullish, will admit wrong if it falls below 12.805.
9 hours ago, a top influencer said: half of RWA tokens fell into a cash flow trap, $LINK was named. Rumors unconfirmed, the market moved first, 24h only slightly down 0.3%.
One layer is that doubts hit the valuation logic of the RWA sector, consensus spreading means repricing; another layer is LINK holding strong, up 19.97% in 7 days, OI up 8.14% from record. Money hasn't withdrawn, still coming in.
The overall environment also supports bullishness. Phase attack, breadth 58 up 39 down, BTC above 86101; RSI 66.6, MA7 just crossed above MA30. Fear and greed at 78, slightly overheated, no chasing highs.
Resistance above: 13.23 (1h SAR), 13.29 (24h high)
Support below: 12.805 (today's low), 12.53 (4h SAR)
Watershed: hold above 13.29 to follow trend, fall back to 12.805 to cut losses.
Priced in +1.22%. I entered, stop loss at 12.805, exit if broken, if not broken watch 13.29. If direction is right, give a like, I'll keep monitoring volume.
$LINK $BTCLast night I actually dreamed that $BTC finally came back to my entry, and I managed to close my short in profit. Then I woke up, checked the chart… $BTC was still above $86K. 💀 That dream ended faster than my hopes. I originally opened the short around $80K. Instead of accepting the move against me, I kept adding to the position and putting more margin behind it. The result? 📈 BTC kept climbing ➕ I kept adding 💰 Margin kept increasing 😵 Stress kept getting worse Looking back, the biggest mi• Data shows that since 2026, Hyperliquid has generated about $429M in revenue, accounting for a significant share of related crypto project revenue • Pump.fun about $322M, ranking next; Axiom Pro about $132M • Hyperliquid allocates the vast majority of protocol fees to $HYPE buybacks, forming a continuous supply-side absorption mechanism • Here, we are discussing net income generated by protocols, not just transaction volume • Stablecoin issuers and Grayscale have different models, so this fee income is not directly included in the comparison 🧠 What truly deserves attention is the cash flow model. Hyperliquid not only has high trading activity, but its fee income can also further convert into $HYPE market buyback demand. As revenue grows, this cycle of "revenue → buybacks → supply reduction" has become the core logic of market attention. ⚠️ However, risks cannot be ignored: competitors like Aster and Lighter are competing for some market share, and the continued unlocking of $HYPE may increase circulating supply, putting temporary pressure on prices. 📌 Core observation: Revenue growth, buyback strength, changes in market share, and token unlock rhythm will be important variables for the upcoming $HYPE rally.$META $xMETA recent stock price has clearly strengthened, closing at about $741.25 on September 21, with a single-day increase of 11.43%. The core catalyst comes from the AI strategy entering the commercialization verification stage. The newly launched personal AI assistant Muse has gained significant attention, with downloads reaching about 2.8 million in the first 12 days. The market is beginning to reprice Meta's potential revenue space in AI subscriptions and intelligent agents.
On fundamentals, Meta's Q2 revenue reached $60.801 billion, a year-on-year increase of 28%, but costs rose 55% year-on-year, and operating profit declined by 8%, indicating that AI infrastructure investment is significantly compressing profit margins. The company expects capital expenditures of $130 billion to $145 billion in 2026, with AI computing power construction remaining one of the largest capital investments in the coming years.
Therefore, Meta's current core logic has gradually shifted from "advertising growth" to "advertising base + AI commercialization." Short-term market sentiment is relatively strong, but after the rapid stock price rise, whether it can continue to strengthen ultimately depends on Muse user conversion, advertising business growth, and whether the huge AI capital expenditure can generate sustained returns.
#AMD市值突破1万亿美元，芯片股集体大涨
#AI降速争议未退，算力投入继续加码 How did the crypto community start researching supermarkets?
Today, in the hot topics on OKX Plaza, Costco's earnings report also took a spot. The company is scheduled to release its fiscal Q4 2026 results on September 24 local time in the US. People buying crypto have started to care about what’s in their shopping carts.
Costco has already announced net sales of $93.9 billion for the quarter, up 11.3% year-over-year. The upcoming focus is not just on how much was sold, but also on profit performance, membership business, and how management describes changes in consumers.
My view is that retail earnings can provide consumption clues, but you can’t directly equate a company’s performance with the entire US economy. Sales growth may also include factors like pricing and store expansion, not just increased consumption volume.
Similarly, good earnings don’t necessarily mean BTC will fall, and poor earnings don’t necessarily mean BTC will rise. The market will also compare actual results with expectations and reprice based on interest rates, the dollar, and capital flows.
When looking at these cross-market hot topics, the most useful approach is to piece together multiple pieces of information rather than immediately placing more orders. There’s still a long way between being able to explain the news and being able to profit from it.
For this earnings report, are you more focused on consumption resilience or profit pressure?
#CostcoEarnings #BTC #MacroWatch BCH Take Profit (Cost 296 | Current Price 312.2 | Floating Profit +5.5%)
🧱 Upper Resistance Wall (Daily Real Trading)
• 325.2 = Today's High / 30–90 Day High, First Wall
• 336.5 → 347.1
• 352–357 = Densest Previous High Lock-up Zone (5 order levels squeezed within 5 dollars)
• 374.9 → 381~386
🎯 Three Take Profit Levels
• TP1 324–326 Reduce 1/3 — Today's spike and pullback point, take profit if volume doesn't keep up
• TP2 350–355 Reduce another 1/3 — Lower edge of lock-up zone, corresponds to your mentioned 350
• TP3 380–385 Remaining 1/3 set trailing take profit to follow trend, corresponds to your mentioned upper edge 380
🛡️ Breakeven Line
• Initial Stop Loss 293 (below cost)
• Once TP1 is hit, immediately move stop loss up to 302 → No loss allowed on this trade
• Daily close below 308 (EMA200) → Exit half of the trend leg first
⚠️ Current daily RSI 74.7, 4h RSI 86.8, today is a gap-up +16.5% with volume ratio 2.9 times, seriously overbought. TP1 must be executed mechanically, don't try to hold out for full 380.
📌 In short: Reduce at 324 first, reduce again at 350, hold the rest at 380. Want me to watch the market and remind you when 325 triggers? $BCH The facade of this building is being forcibly pulled out into an uncontrollable cantilever—short-term RSI has surged to 71.7, a typical overbought signal, equivalent to building the parapet beyond the load-bearing limit.
Let's first look at the foundation. The 24-hour structural displacement is 4.64%, and the price currently stands at 103% of the Bollinger Bands short-term position, having already broken through the upper band boundary by 0.1%; the mid-term is even more exaggerated at 113%, extending 0.7% beyond the upper band and leaving a 6.2% gap from the lower band. This is not healthy upward growth; it's like rushing to cap the building before the scaffolding is removed. Looking at the long-term RSI, it is 46.2, neutral to slightly weak, indicating the main structure hasn't kept up with this rally—the upper floors are soaring while the foundation remains stationary, a typical disconnect between top and bottom.
More critically, the pressure is intense. The short-term upper band is already pressing at -0.1%, meaning no room to stay; the upper edge of the mid-band at -0.7% is equally tight. Buyers have pushed the price to the extreme cantilever; calculating the wind load shows it can't hold. The true long-term load-bearing wall—i.e., long-term demand—has completely failed inspection. This kind of structure is bound to retreat eventually.
My judgment: the short-term structure must be unloaded, sell first then buy back.
📉 Short:
Entry: 0.01 (current price +2.1%)
Take Profit 1: 0.01 (-6.6%)
Take Profit 2: 0.01 (-5.9%)
Stop Loss: 0.01 (+12.3%)
Note that the take profit targets fall around 6% below, exactly covering the 6.2% gap at the mid-term Bollinger lower band, while the stop loss is set beyond the upper edge to allow for false breakouts and construction error. This is a standard limited-range closing operation.
No matter how beautiful the blueprint, it can't suppress the unbalanced counterweight; short-term overbought stacked on long-term neutral means this surge is a cantilever, not a core tube.What does a warehouse retailer selling everything from groceries to rotisserie chicken have to do with crypto? More than you might think. 👀 Costco Wholesale doesn't need to hold Bitcoin to influence the crypto narrative. Its numbers give investors another window into the health of the U.S. consumer. If Costco reports resilient sales, strong membership activity and stable margins, it would suggest households are still spending despite tighter financial conditions. That matters for $BTC because sa16z has moved recruitment up to the moment of high school graduation, which is a direct distrust of the university screening function.
It provides free housing, computing power, and travel, effectively shifting the training costs from the students to itself. The motivation is easy to guess: model capabilities are spreading too fast, and waiting four years to select people means good prospects are already locked in elsewhere.
Following this chain, the first passive impact is on computer science majors whose pricing is based on diplomas. What’s more worth watching is whether this will become a permanent channel rather than a one-time PR event.
The verification points are very specific: see if the next batch expands enrollment and how many graduates directly join companies it has invested in. If both happen, this replacement logic is established.
#AI降速争议未退，算力投入继续加码 $ETH After ETH touched 2807, it returned to 2740; a surge is not synonymous with a breakout
On September 22, $ETH peaked at $2807.67, and at the time of writing, it was around $2740, with a 24-hour low of $2706.87. The price did cross above 2800, but it did not hold that ground. For short-term traders, this kind of movement is more worth watching than a simple rise: there are buyers willing to chase above, but also sellers concentrating their take-profits at the round number.
The first time it crosses resistance and then falls back does not mean failure. The real judgment lies in the nature of the pullback. If near 2740 the volume gradually decreases and the lows do not drop further, it indicates the market is just digesting the previous round of profits; if it repeatedly tries to break 2800 but fails and then falls below 2707, today's high looks more like a liquidity test.
I will not automatically write 2800 as a new support level just because it was seen intraday. For resistance to turn into support requires two steps: after the breakout, there must be buyers to hold the position, and after a pullback, it must be able to rally again. Missing either step means the price just passed through, not a structural change.
Today, $ETH has narrowed the answer range to 2707—2808. The upper boundary determines whether bulls can open up space, and the lower boundary decides if this rebound is still ongoing. Rather than guessing the next round number, it’s better to wait for the market to prove that there are really buyers willing to hold overnight above 2800. $CORE has been online for more than 4 years, how much faith is left?
In the blink of an eye, more than four years have passed. The grand BTCFi story that was once praised to the skies has long exhausted the patience of holders bit by bit during the prolonged downtrend.
The project team has been talking about their vision year after year, with press conferences, roadmaps, and long-term plans flooding the screen, but there are almost no practical applications for ordinary users to actually use. The pie keeps getting bigger, the coin price continues to be under pressure, tokens are continuously released, repeatedly crushing the community's remaining expectations.
Truly reliable projects accumulate consensus through practical implementation, and value appreciation naturally retains users. But CORE has fallen into a vicious cycle of hype leading to price drops and price drops leading to more hype, causing batch after batch of veteran players to quietly exit.
The market only recognizes the trading chart; distant plans cannot convince capital. Without solid actions to support it, the so-called Bitcoin ecosystem ultimately remains just a story in a PPT.
Faith is not a chip that can be infinitely overdrawn; holders' patience cannot withstand years of repeated empty promises. Whether a project is good or not depends on implementation and market performance, not on flashy slogans.
⚠️This is only a personal market observation and does not constitute investment advice. Virtual currencies are highly volatile and carry high risks. Recently, Bitcoin experienced a sharp rally, but the market seems to lack fundamental support. The market generally links this unusual movement to the US midterm elections: market speculation expects that Trump will boost enthusiasm in the crypto space, using the rally to gain votes.
However, from the current standpoint, it is highly likely that the market will see a correction after the election results are finalized.
If the Republican Party suffers setbacks in this election and Trump loses, the previously anticipated positive expectations in the market will directly fall through.
Many people are now asking if the crypto market is returning to a bull market. My judgment is that the bull market has not yet arrived.
Two core logics:
1. In a rising interest rate cycle environment, it is difficult for risk assets to sustain a continuous upward trend, as tightening liquidity always suppresses asset valuations;
2. A series of events have made the American public wary of such aggressive policies, and the market has started to price in the possibility of Trump's defeat. Once the Democrats and the establishment regain control, and given the Democrats' traditionally conservative regulatory stance on the crypto industry, policy expectations for the crypto market will quickly turn cold. $BTC $ETH Apple and Google Quietly Recruit Stablecoin Talent: Don’t Get Too Excited, the Giants Aren’t Here to Pump Crypto!
Apple and Google are both entering the race to recruit stablecoin talent, causing major communities to erupt in excitement, proclaiming the arrival of a big bull market. But seasoned investors must first pour cold water on this: tech giants hiring for stablecoin and tokenized deposits are not aiming to boost the crypto market, nor are they embracing any decentralized ideology.
What the giants are doing is extremely pragmatic, focusing on "capturing rent" and "cutting costs." In the traditional financial system, every Apple Pay transfer pays Visa and Mastercard a 2% to 3% fee. Compliant stablecoins and tokenized deposits essentially form a low-cost, instant-settlement digital dollar network. Apple’s entry into the consumer market is about laying down a free channel for over a billion devices to bypass the traditional card networks’ fees.
Google’s approach is even more direct, offering underlying tokenized cash settlement services to banks, exchanges, and custodians, acting as the cloud computing landlord for B2B rent. It’s crucial to understand: what the giants are after is on-chain dollars as a fiat settlement tool, which has nothing to do with the price fluctuations of Bitcoin or altcoins.
In the short term, don’t treat recruitment news as a hype catalyst for price pumps. But in the long run, when tech giants truly push stablecoins to billions of ordinary users worldwide for seamless payments, the high walls of traditional finance will finally be breached. Where do you think Apple will first officially launch Apple Pay’s stablecoin settlement feature?AMD's market value surged past $1 trillion overnight, lifting the entire semiconductor sector, with Intel, Qualcomm, and Arm all rising.
Most people's first reaction to this news is positive for AI concept coins. But I think the real beneficiary might be Bitcoin.
The logic isn't complicated. AMD reaching a trillion means the market recognizes that AI inference computing power demand is still exploding. The greater the demand for computing power, the more capital expenditure is poured globally into chips and data centers. This money doesn't come out of thin air; most of it is supported by debt issuance and fiscal deficits. The faster fiat currency credit is consumed, the stronger Bitcoin's narrative as a non-sovereign asset becomes.
So why not AI coins? Because AI coins are driven by project progress and sentiment, causing prices to surge or plummet on a single piece of news. Bitcoin, however, is driven by macro logic; the money burned on computing infrastructure ultimately erodes fiat purchasing power. This process is slow but directionally certain.
AMD breaking the trillion mark is a signal—not a call to chase chip stocks or rush into AI coins. It tells you the computing power economy is still growing, and Bitcoin is the hard asset at the bottom of this industry chain.
In the short term, BTC still depends on interest rates and liquidity, so don't overweight your position just because of a chip news headline. The direction is right, but the timing must be right too. #AMD市值突破1万亿美元，芯片股集体大涨 $BTC $ETH $DOGE This bull market is far from over, and the Dogecoin trend is the same.
Many people are watching the candlestick charts for the top, but I am watching crude oil.
The logic is simple: easing tensions in the Middle East is an inevitable trend. Oil prices, which were pushed up by the conflict, will eventually return to their original levels as agreements are signed at the negotiation table. Every drop in crude oil reduces inflationary pressure, increases the Federal Reserve's room to cut interest rates, and adds more liquidity flowing into risk assets.
The crypto market is most sensitive to liquidity, and $DOGE is a barometer of sentiment—the community's enthusiasm, Musk's moves, and the advancement of payment scenarios will all be repriced under expectations of easing. The current volatility is just a stopover on the way, far from the end.
The real signal lies in crude oil: wait for it to fall back near $70, the inflation story to conclude, and the easing dividend to be realized. Only then is it not too late to talk about shorting. Before that, going against the trend to short is just giving your chips to the trend. Be patient and hold on, let time be on the side of the bulls. Unexpected, right? I've climbed back up again! A big bullish candlestick, thousands of troops coming to meet! Soaring 20%, BCH is getting serious this time
BCH surged 19.57% in a single day, current price 315.8, directly breaking through the 320 level.
Data anchor: 24-hour low 260.7, high 321.5, trading volume over 21.36 million USDT, volume nearly 3.79M, clear capital inflow. On the 1-hour chart, MA5/10/20 are all bullish, trend is strong.
Sector narrative: Rotation among mainstream coins begins, L1 veteran public chains collectively moving, BCH as the "Bitcoin fork veteran" never misses a bull market, sentiment is fermenting.
Fundamental endorsement: CME Group plans to launch BCH derivatives on October 19, opening a compliant capital entry channel, this is a solid positive catalyst.
Technical analysis: RSI6 has soared to 95, RSI12 reached 90, seriously overbought, short-term correction pressure exists. But SLOPE EMA 101.6 is steeply rising, momentum not exhausted. Be cautious chasing highs; a pullback near MA5 (287) is a more stable entry point.
Trading strategy: Do not chase the rise, wait for pullback to confirm support before considering entry. If volume breaks above previous high 321.5, light position follow-up is possible, stop loss set below 300.

Not financial advice$BTC #财报观察员：Costco Q4 earnings report is about to be released
First, let's look at the market.
Bitcoin has been fluctuating between 76,000 and 87,000 these past few days. On September 15 and 16, ETFs saw a net outflow exceeding $740 million over two days, cooling market sentiment to a low point, with the price holding firm around $76,700, the "real market average." Then starting September 17, funds flowed back in, with another $433 million on the 18th, pushing $BTC from around 76,000 up above 77,000, and on the 21st it broke through 82,000, even touching 87,300 at one point. The 82,000 level is critical — the average cost for U.S. Bitcoin ETF holders is roughly here; breaking this means ETF holders as a whole return to profitability.
But this rebound has a hidden risk: derivatives open interest increased by about $2 billion in the same period, with leverage rapidly returning. If spot demand doesn't keep up, the market could become purely leverage-driven, and any uptick in U.S. Treasury yields or geopolitical turbulence could trigger a swift reversal.
Now, let's look at the news.
Costco's Q4 earnings report is about to come out. The crypto community watching a supermarket that sells rotisserie chicken and toilet paper is not just killing time.
Last year, Costco sold 157.4 million rotisserie chickens, nearly double what it sold ten years ago. The $4.99 price has held firm for seventeen years without increase, with management even willing to sacrifice $30-40 million in gross profit annually to maintain this price. Why would they rather lose money than raise the price? Because this chicken is a hook. The rotisserie chicken is placed at the back of the store, so to get it, you have to walk through the snacks, clothing, and bakery sections, inevitably buying other items along the way. Costco isn't after the profit from the chicken; it wants you to enter the store and push a cart.
This is why the crypto community is watching Costco's earnings.
Costco's Q3 comparable sales actually grew 9.8%, far exceeding the market expectation of 7.8%; core same-store sales growth excluding gas and currency effects was 6.6%, about 67 basis points above consensus. Membership fee revenue was $1.37 billion, up 10.7% year-over-year, with paying members rising to 82.9 million. E-commerce was even more impressive — digital comparable sales rose 21.5%, and website and app traffic surged 37% year-over-year.
Translating these numbers into crypto terms means: Americans' wallets aren't empty yet. They are still spending, renewing memberships, and ordering online. Consumer resilience remains, so inflation won't come down.
The current inflation situation is more complex than it appears. Core PCE rose 3.2% year-over-year, while core CPI is only 2.4%. PCE surpasses CPI by a full 0.88 percentage points, the largest positive gap in over forty years. The Fed watches PCE, not CPI. PCE being higher means inflation measured by the Fed's preferred gauge is hotter than what the market feels.
The first FOMC meeting under Chair Powell made this clear. In the dot plot, 9 of 18 officials expect at least one more rate hike this year, only one expects a cut, and the year-end median rate forecast was raised from 3.4% to 3.8%. The market is repricing accordingly — CME FedWatch showed the probability of a September hike once surged above 60%.
In short, the rate cut narrative is being crushed.
If Costco's earnings continue to impress, it tells the Fed: consumers aren't down yet, inflation pressure remains, don't ease up. Liquidity stays tight, making risk assets like Bitcoin, which rely on liquidity, uncomfortable. Conversely, if the earnings show cracks and signal cooling consumption, the market might start betting the Fed has to pivot — Bitcoin could fall first, then rise.
A $4.99 rotisserie chicken tests how long American consumers can hold on and measures how much room the Fed has to cut rates.
This is the real reason crypto people watch the rotisserie chicken.
#BTC冲高$87000，加密总市值重返3万亿 #Strategy再度增持，财库同步加仓 #财报观察员：好市多Q4财报即将公布 🔥 $BTC / $ETH / $SOL | THREE DIFFERENT PROBLEMS
$BTC provides value with a digital settlement layer that operates continuously, without being tied to banking schedules or a single jurisdiction.
$ETH offers developers a common environment for building financial primitives that other applications can reuse, combine, and extend.
$SOL targets use cases where transaction latency becomes part of the product itself, from trading interfaces to highly interactive applications.After institutional investors entered the market, the era of retail investors making one-sided profits has completely ended
Many people still cling to the idea of a big bull market, one-sided surges, and doubling their money blindly.
But after 2025, the rules of the game in the crypto space have completely changed.
In the past, market trends were driven by retail investor sentiment, Ponzi schemes, and consensus.
Good news caused frenzied rallies, bad news triggered crashes, trends were clear and one-sided, and ordinary people could make money just by holding even with average skills.
But since trillion-dollar institutions like BlackRock and Vanguard fully entered through ETFs, market pricing power has completely shifted.
The most direct evidence is that this year's macro data has completely failed, yet the market refuses to crash:
Multiple times nonfarm payrolls exceeded expectations, CPI inflation rebounded, the Fed maintained high interest rates, and rate hike expectations intensified.
In previous years, this chain of bad news would have caused Bitcoin to undergo deep corrections and waterfall declines long ago.
But what is the real trend this year?
Bad news lands — slight dip — instant recovery — sideways consolidation.
Why can't bad news push the market down?
Because institutional spot funds have been absorbing at the bottom.
Retail investors play with leverage, chasing highs and selling lows; institutions practice patient wealth management, buying in batches at the bottom, and long-term allocation.
This has created a brand new market characteristic:
No extreme one-sided crashes, nor extreme one-sided rallies.
Instead, there is long-term grinding, repeated shakeouts, and structural tug-of-war.
In the old bull market: broad rallies, rotation, easy wins.
In the current bull market: the main market stays stable, altcoins get drained, the pace is extremely fast, and the margin for error is very low.
The hardest reality for retail investors to accept:
1. Macro bad news can't crash the market, shorting is doomed;
2. Good news doesn't cause continuous rallies, going long risks missing out or getting trapped;
3. In a choppy market, all leverage and short-term predictions get repeatedly harvested.
BlackRock's Fink has long made it clear:
The future crypto market is about asset allocation, not speculative get-rich-quick.
Institutions play with 1%-2% base positions, no leverage, holding for years.
Retail investors play with full positions, leverage, betting on a rebound or one-sided moves.
The dimensions are completely unequal.
From now on:
One-sided violent bull markets become history.
The era of retail investors making money blindly is completely over.
Only two types of people will survive in the future:
Give up leverage and accept allocation thinking;
Or face reality and completely exit speculative gambling. $BTC Brothers, recently these low market cap, low circulation altcoins $ONE really shouldn't be shorted lightly!
Yesterday, so many "genius traders" rushed in, and in the end, they all became fuel for the market makers.
You think it should drop after a 40% rise, but it keeps pushing up; you think the spike is the top, but it reverses with a big bullish candle.
The most frustrating thing about this market is: we simply don't know how high it can go.
So now I'm planning to switch to buying spot.
If you can't beat them, join them—at least you don't have to worry about suddenly getting a liquidation message at night. 😂
Of course, if you really want to short, I at least wait for a few conditions:
A 15-minute candle appears that's the longest in the last 24 hours, preferably more than 3 times the usual length; at the same time, a clear long upper shadow appears; at least one such candle must appear; the 24-hour increase should preferably exceed 40%.
If the increase is less than 40%, even if there's a spike, take profits at 3%–5% and don't be greedy.
Because a second wave of rally could come back at any time.
Remember:
Shorting is not because "it has risen too much," but you have to wait for the market to truly show a top signal.
Otherwise, you think you're shorting the market makers, but actually, the market makers are using your short positions as fuel to keep pushing up!
This round, I won't be the fuel first. 😂
#BTC冲高$87000，加密总市值重返3万亿 #ZEC巨鲸3.8万枚空单平仓，亏损超3500万美元 BCH suddenly surged to around $320, nearly +19% in 24 hours. This rally is indeed quite rapid. Many people's first reaction now might be: It has risen so much, can it still be chased? But I actually think that what’s most worth looking at now is not whether it can still be chased, but what the reason behind this surge is. A few days ago, BCH was still hovering around $250. Starting from September 17, volume clearly increased, and the price kept rising. On September 18, it directly surged above $260. On September 21, it quickly rose from around $250 to near $270. Now it has directly reached $320. In just a few days, BCH has completed a very obvious bottom lift. And this wasn’t a slow grind upwards. From recent trading data, the volume increase is quite obvious. This is very important because if only the price rises without volume following, I would be more inclined to interpret it as a pump in a low liquidity environment. But now both price and volume are expanding together, at least indicating that market participation is indeed rapidly increasing. The $270-$275 range is the recently broken previous high area. If a pullback can hold here, this area is very likely to turn from a previous resistance into new support. Then there is the $300 level, which is more of a psychological barrier. Whether $300 can turn from a round number into effective support is very critical. If after surging to 320, the price pulls back near 300 but quickly recovers, and volume shrinks then expands again to push higher, this kind of movement is relatively healthy. Conversely, if the rally continues crazily nowAt that moment, the bears were swept away and quieted down A few noticed, the loudest part of this rally wasn't actually spot trading? Last night, I stared at the liquidation chart for a while. Of the $90 million forced liquidation, BTC accounted for the majority. This magnitude of short squeezing shows that leveraged funds were too crowded before; once prices don't fall, stop-loss orders are knocked down like dominoes. Institutions and hot money use this window to pour into BTC and ETH, with net inflows so high that ETH sometimes even surpassed the big players. - Derivatives signals: Bears squeeze dominate, rising prices carry the shadow of passive buying, not pure spot buying. - Capital signals: BTC and ETH net inflows are strengthening simultaneously, with subsequent flow in ETF channels being a key variable. - Sentiment signals: The market has shifted from "waiting for a pullback" to "fearing missing out," but participation hasn't reached full excitement. My own feeling is that this isn't a breakout you can just chase with your eyes closed. If the accumulated leverage in the futures market keeps increasing, it will actually plant a shadow line for the future. The gains from a short squeeze often require spot trading to take over after passive buying is exhausted; otherwise, it's just an emotional pulse. The path to a bullish side is actually clear: net ETF inflows remain positive, BTC market share is no longer being drained by ETH, so 90,000 is no longer a fantasy, and ETH could reach 3,000. But the risk is that if net inflows are just a single-day pulse and contract open interest surges simultaneously, then a wave of consolidation is likely to enter a consolidation phase. 85,000 and 83,000 are the support points BTC should watch, while ETH is at 2710 and 26There are a few coins that not many people mention, but have risen very well

Compared to BCH +18.69% and KERNEL +27.37% in the same period, BTC is clearly lagging — this is not weakness, but a typical pre-rebound night where funds have not yet rotated into the main coin: extreme greed index 78 combined with a funding rate of +0.0042% mildly bullish, indicating leverage sentiment is not overheated. BCH's RSI has surged to 89.5, severely overbought, and KERNEL's funding rate of -1.1104% shows a very high risk of short squeeze; both may retrace from highs at any time, likely causing funds to flow back into BTC.
The direction is bullish. Entry reference 85500–86000 (close to the Bollinger middle band and MA20 resonance support, a valid bounce if not broken); Take profit 1 at 86900 (Bollinger upper band resistance, RSI near 65-70 to reduce position); Take profit 2 at 88200 (measured target after breaking previous high, referencing the upper extension of 6.6% amplitude); Stop loss set at 84600 (break below Bollinger lower band 85094 confirms structure break, and MA5 crossing below MA20 turns bearish).

Just parked the car under the shade and took a bite of bread, then casually scanned the liquidation chart. The short liquidation intensity near the current price is clearly higher than the longs; breaking above 0.00000505 will force more shorts to stop loss, while buy orders support between 0.00000480 and 0.00000485. Long liquidations pile up below 0.00000470; breaking below there would trigger a chain of liquidations.
In terms of operation, do not chase highs. Entry range is set between 0.00000482 and 0.00000488; aggressive traders can build a base position at the current price of 0.00000495. Take profit targets are 0.00000520 first, then 0.00000545. Defensive stop loss at 0.00000469 must be strictly enforced. Once volume pushes above 0.00000505, you can add positions to ride the short squeeze.

#AMD市值突破1万亿美元，芯片股集体大涨
@OKX星球 ETH retraced to 2710 and then climbed back above 2750: secondary correction begins in the high-level structure
After ETH surged to 2806, it experienced a clear pullback, dipping as low as 2710, and has now returned near 2750. Compared to the rapid rise during the first attempt to break 2800, the market has now entered a phase of high-level consolidation. However, a positive signal is that after support appeared around 2710, the price has reclaimed MA5, MA10, and MA20.
The 15-minute Bollinger middle band is around 2744, and the current price has moved back above this middle band. In the short term, resistance is expected between 2760 and 2788, but the key area that will determine whether new upside space opens is still the previous highs between 2800 and 2807.
On the downside, focus is on the 2730 to 2710 range. As long as this area holds, the current movement looks more like a high-level shakeout after an advance; if 2710 is broken, beware of a further pullback expanding to 2680–2700.
KDJ is turning upward again, but volume has not shown a significant increase in tandem, so this round of correction still lacks a true volume confirmation.
ETH is no longer just about whether it can rise, but about testing whether a new price platform can form above 2700. Holding 2710 and breaking through 2807 will be the complete signal for the next phase of trend acceleration. $ETH $AAVE My personal trading experience: The DeFi leader AAVE has ended a long period of sideways movement, BTC has been rising steadily, funds are flowing back into the DeFi sector, and the veteran leader has started an upward trend. The DeFi sector has been quiet for a long time, and this round of broad gains has driven valuation recovery in the sector. The protocol has recently added new asset collateral types, increased security module reserves, locked value has rebounded, trading volume has expanded, and large investors continue to build positions. The rotation order in the bull market is very clear: mainstream first, then DeFi, and now the spotlight is on this sector. As long as the overall market does not experience a significant pullback, the trend can continue. If the market remains strong in the next two to three days, AAVE will continue to rise. I hold a base position and will reduce holdings in batches to lock in profits during rallies. The veteran leader's stability is better than small-cap altcoins, and pullbacks are relatively controllable. What’s the next move for the $DOGE whales?
Short term (48 hours): Most likely to oscillate between 0.094 and 0.105. 0.10219 is the short-term watershed—if it breaks out with volume, the target is 0.105-0.116; if it can’t break through, it will retest 0.094-0.095. If it falls below 0.09497 (SUPERTREND), it may accelerate the pullback to 0.092-0.087.
Mid term: With short sellers covering + whales accumulating + ETF funds flowing back, these three core drivers still leave room for DOGE. The technical target points to 0.116-0.117. But RSI at 72 is overbought + whales sold over 1 billion DOGE in the past week + Bitwise liquidated the ETF—this rally is driven by short covering, not spot buying. Once the fuel from short covering runs out, real buying pressure is needed to push it further.
Biggest risks: RSI at 72 overbought + whales sold over 1 billion DOGE in the past week + Bitwise liquidated DOGE ETF + theunipcs.eth’s unrealized profit of 637% could take profits anytime. This rally is driven by short covering and whales accumulating at low levels, not spot buying. Once the short covering fuel is exhausted, real buying is needed to sustain it.
A heartfelt last word:
DOGE is at 0.10021 today, with 844 million shorts liquidated, whales increasing holdings by 240 million coins, and ETF inflows of 909,000 in a single day—bullish factors stacked high. But RSI at 72 overbought, whales sold over 1 billion DOGE in the past week, Bitwise liquidated DOGE ETF, and theunipcs.eth’s unrealized profit of 637% could take profits anytime—four red flags all lit. One analysis put it clearly: “ETF funds are withdrawing, whales are accumulating, retail investors are caught in the middle as fuel.” At 0.10021, chasing the high is like sending New Year gifts to the DOGE whales. Control your hands, wait for confirmation of a breakout at 0.105 or a retest at 0.094 before acting. Remember, surviving long in crypto is ten thousand times more important than making a lot of money! Meeting adjourned!#Strategy再度增持，财库同步加仓
"Corporate Treasury Buying Spree: 840,000 BTC Locked"
In the past couple of days, several US-listed companies have started to bulk buy again.
Strategy directly purchased 950 BTC, bringing its total holdings on the books to 846,000 BTC. On the other side, BitMine, which manages an Ethereum treasury, was even more aggressive, adding over 20,000 ETH in one go, now holding nearly 5.98 million ETH, with over 80% directly staked and locked.
Buying a few hundred coins at a time might not seem significant for a single treasury, but multiple treasuries buying and locking simultaneously, combined with large off-exchange ETF inflows, continuously remove tradable supply from the secondary market. $BTC For those holding $DOGE positions: If you bought between 0.078-0.085, your unrealized gains are already 18-28%. It is recommended to gradually reduce your position by over 50% between 0.102-0.105, and set a trailing take-profit for the remaining position (move stop-loss up to 0.094). RSI at 72 indicates overbought + whales have sold over 1 billion DOGE in the past week + Bitwise liquidation of ETF; reducing positions to lock in profits is a wise move.
Long strategy (cautious): Wait for a pullback to 0.094-0.095 with volume expansion and a stop in the decline signal, enter at 0.094-0.095, stop-loss below 0.091, target 0.100-0.102. Leverage 3-5x, position size within 2%. Core logic: SAR and SUPERTREND bullish confirmation + Ichimoku cloud breakout + whale accumulation.
Short strategy (high risk): If price rebounds to 0.102-0.105 with shrinking volume and a long upper shadow appears, enter at 0.102-0.105, stop-loss above 0.107, target 0.095-0.097. Leverage 1-2x, position size within 1%. Core logic: RSI 72 overbought + 0.10219 supply zone + whale selling.
Safest strategy (wait and see): 0.10021 is indecisive. Resistance is at 0.10219-0.105, support space at 0.094-0.095. Wait for confirmation of a breakout above 0.105 or a pullback confirmation at 0.094 before taking action! One analysis explains it clearly: "Ichimoku cloud forecast remains red, and a broader bullish reversal has not yet been fully confirmed." $BTC IS OPENING THE DOOR. THE QUESTION: DOES LIQUIDITY FOLLOW?
$BTC is leading, but a rally becomes more meaningful when capital starts expanding into higher-beta risk.
$BTC → liquidity leader
$ETH → breadth confirmation
$SOL → risk appetite gauge
Altcoins → capital rotation
The market doesn’t need every token to rally.
What matters is whether participation expands enough to turn a breakout into a broader trend.
Price can lead the way. But liquidity determines how far it can go. 📊 This is how I’m reading the crypto market right now. The recovery across the market is definitely encouraging, but I don’t think a rising total crypto market cap is enough to confirm a strong and sustainable trend. Seeing $BTC and $ETH lead the recovery is one thing. What would really catch my attention is seeing liquidity gradually spread into high-conviction altcoin sectors and narratives that are showing genuine trading activity and sustained demand. That would suggest the market isn't sim$BTC 📈

This is currently the most asymmetric risk structure.
Direction Trigger Level Liquidation Intensity
Downside Longs Break below 82,125 $2.734 billion
Upside Shorts Break above 90,669 $1.122 billion
The liquidation intensity of downside longs is 2.4 times that of upside shorts. More specifically, in the $81,600 to $81,800 range, there is an aggregation of about 1,080 BTC in potential long liquidation positions, estimated at approximately $87.9 million, about 4.4%-4.6% below the current price.
Within the narrow range of $86,900 to $90,278, there is about $330 million of short liquidation risk concentrated, accounting for 57% of the cumulative risk value, indicating a very high risk concentration. This means that if the price can effectively break above $87,660 and hold, a short squeeze may accelerate toward $90,000; but if it repeatedly faces resistance near $87,000, the crowded long liquidation zone below will become a greater hidden danger. $BTC $ETH $DOGE #ZEC巨鲸3.8万枚空单平仓，亏损超3500万美元 Expert summary: Understanding the essence of SUI surging to 1 dollar
SUI's violent surge to 1 dollar essentially stems from a deep oversell, followed by supply contraction due to staking lock-up, a recovery in market risk appetite, capital rotation within the Layer 1 sector, combined with a chain of short squeeze events in contracts, collectively forming a retaliatory rebound rally.
Staking lock-up provides the foundation for the rebound, existing capital completes the ignition, and leveraged short squeezes create pulse highs. A single large bullish candle does not mean SUI has fully reversed; 1 dollar is merely a resistance level, not a trend confirmation signal.
The old lesson in crypto never changes: pulse highs mostly come from leveraged liquidations; a true trend reversal requires repeated testing in a highly liquid market and confirmation through multiple resonances including on-chain ecology, token distribution structure, and overall market environment. Chasing a high based on a single bullish candle has a very poor risk-reward ratio. $BTC $ETH $SUI #BTC冲高$87000，加密总市值重返3万亿 #Strategy再度增持，财库同步加仓 #财报观察员：好市多Q4财报即将公布 #BTC surges to $87000, total crypto market cap returns to 3 trillion. Strategy once again makes a large-scale increase in BTC holdings, signaling strong significance. Currently, their actions do not appear to be short-term arbitrage but rather treating BTC as a long-term reserve asset for the company.
The core purpose is to continuously accumulate coins and send a bullish signal to external institutions. After their large purchases, market sentiment usually improves; it may not spike immediately, but the probability of a deep drop decreases, more follow-up funds increase, and the bottom gradually solidifies.
For BTC at present, circulating supply decreases, selling pressure eases, the space for a major drop is compressed, and it attracts more attention from traditional institutions. The current market is oscillating at a high level, making it difficult for both bulls and bears to operate. $BTC $ETH $DOGE #Strategy once again increases holdings, treasury simultaneously adds positions #EarningsObserver: Costco Q4 earnings report is about to be released The Nasdaq surged nearly 600 points, ARM rose 17%, AMD's market cap surpassed $1 trillion, and Meta jumped over 11%. The US stock market is experiencing a full risk-on rally. Crypto concept stocks are also soaring: Strategy up 9.47%, Canaan Technology up 11.88%, Coinbase up 3.5%. But what about BTC? OKX/market price at $86,001, up only 1.02% in 24 hours. After falling from the early morning high of $87,401, it has been trading sideways between $85,000 and $86,000. ETH at $2,752, up 0.74%. DOGE up 6.47% but has already pulled back from the $0.11 high. US stocks are soaring, yet BTC is not rising. Is this good or bad? Sluda Goose's judgment: This is good, indicating the market is actively digesting. First, BTC rose 13% in five days, surging from $74,955 to $87,401. This pace is too fast and technically requires a correction and consolidation. Now, with the US stock market rallying strongly, BTC not falling shows buying power is strong; it's not that no one is buying, but the rise was too fast and needs a pause. Second, Ding Yuan, director of the New Fire Research Institute, said something very apt: BTC breaking through $85,000 is "policy and liquidity repair after all negative factors have been priced in." In plain language: interest rate hikes have landed, the bill vote failed, the SEC issued innovative exemptions, all negative factors have been exhausted, and funds are starting to flow back. This kind of repair won't happen in one day; it will be a process of oscillating upward movement. Third, volume is shrinking. BTC 24h volume $8.57$ZEC Faces Resistance After Rally: New Buying or Old Positions Changing Hands?
OKX shows ZEC priced at $1,460.50, down 4.49% in 24 hours, weakening alone while BTC recovers. After more than 25 times increase in a year, profit-taking is not surprising; the key is whether incremental funds are willing to buy at high levels.
Zcash NFT auction received bids totaling 25,305 ZEC, about $36.94 million, but only 12,000 ZEC were ultimately sold. Aurora routing exceeded $19 million, but after ZachXBT questioned the use of funds and refunds, about $17 million was directed. Large cross-chain transfers are possible but do not guarantee sustained capital inflow into ZEC.
Garrett Jin once held 202,000 ZEC spot, disclosed value $320 million, and hedged with 38,000 ZEC short positions, eventually closing the shorts with a $36.13 million loss. On September 28, ZCSH split 1 to 3, which only lowered the stock price without increasing assets or buying interest. NU7 plans to reduce block time from 75 seconds to 25 seconds, with mainnet targeted for November 5, a mid-term theme.
Short-term focus is on $1,444; losing this level would extend high-level selling pressure; a volume-backed recovery above $1,530 is needed to attempt $1,572. Spot trading should wait for structural stabilization; contracts should avoid left-side longs during weak pullbacks.#Today I took a look around the market and noticed a detail: retail investors are still discussing how much prices will rise, while big money has already started discussing "what to buy."
BTC's high-level consolidation hasn't cooled the market; instead, more and more funds are flowing into the ETH ecosystem, SUI ecosystem, and RWA sector. A true bull market isn't about all coins flying together, but about capital rotating baton by baton.
Many people's accounts don't make money because they keep chasing yesterday's hot spots. Yesterday chasing AI, today chasing MEME, tomorrow chasing public chains, and in the end, every wave is a step behind.
My trading principles are only three:
* Look for opportunities during pullbacks in strong coins, don't chase big green candles.
* Don't heavily invest in weak coins just because they are "cheap."
* The most important thing in a bull market is to preserve principal and profits.
This round, I focus more on the sustainability of funds in ETH, SUI, and SOL, rather than daily price fluctuations.
The market always rewards disciplined people, not the most excited ones.

@OKX中文 @WuBlockchain @cz_binance @VitalikButerin @CoinDesk $ETH has reclaimed the 2700 level, with Q3 showing quite a strong run.
To put it simply: The US spot ETH ETF saw a net inflow of about $270 million on Monday (SoSoValue), marking two consecutive days of positive inflows, led by ETHA; on the market, $ETH also followed $BTC in this short squeeze rally, with OKX currently around 2750. The gains so far in Q3 are among the strongest quarterly performances since 2016 according to public data.
However, the hourly chart is already pulling back, and after the rise, we need to see if the volume can hold. The area around 2700 is a key observation point, so avoid chasing the price up in a frenzy.
This is not investment advice; manage your positions and set stop losses properly.
$ETH $BTC #ETH #Ethereum #BTC #ETFInflow #2700Level #Q3Market #TuesdayEveningSession #RiskWarningVeteran trader Peter Brandt posted a long-term Ethereum chart, directly stating that 5000 is a super strong resistance; once it breaks through, we could see $8600. He also casually mentioned that XRP could reach 5.4 dollars. My first reaction was: $8600? Even Bitcoin isn’t that easy to understand, can Ethereum really rally to that from its current dead state?
Right now, ETH is hovering around 2800, looking like it’s flatlining in the ICU. But in Brandt’s logic, 5000 isn’t just any number; it’s the ultimate psychological barrier and technical resistance above the previous bull market high (4800+).
In the past year or two, every time Ethereum surged, it got pushed back, with trapped positions and dense chips all clustered between 4000-5000.
According to classic chartist patterns from the old school (like a large ascending channel or a long-term bottom measurement target), once the “lid” at 5000 is powerfully lifted, the area above is basically a price discovery zone (no historical trapped positions).
From the current price near 2800 to 5000 is nearly a 100% increase;
Breaking through 5000 and reaching 8600 would be about another 70% gain.
In terms of market cap, for ETH to hit $8600, the total market value would need to double to around 1 trillion dollars. This is indeed a big challenge, but not entirely impossible—provided that a broad macro interest rate cut cycle kicks off, an ETH spot ETF generates sustained net inflows like Bitcoin, and Layer 2 solutions truly revitalize the network ecosystem.Filecoin isn't just waiting for the next narrative. Three important developments are now converging around AI, supply and token economics. 👀 ① 🤖 AI AGENT STORAGE IS BECOMING REAL Filecoin recently introduced official AI Agent Skills designed to let agents publish verifiable outputs on-chain and maintain portable context across different models and sessions. That's an important shift. Instead of simply talking about “AI + decentralized storage,” Filecoin is building infrastructure specifically +630% looks impressive on paper. The reality is much different.
$DOGE moved from 0.08865 to 0.10, roughly +12.8%. At 50x leverage, that small move became a massive percentage gain, but the risk was equally amplified.
The real edge wasn’t leverage. It was risk control: taking partial profits and protecting the rest with a trailing stop.
High leverage can multiply gains, but it can erase positions just as fast.

$SOL No matter how lively the Bitcoin ETF gets, it still misses the point
Jim Bianco said in an interview that the construction of the Bitcoin ETF missed the key point.
His exact words were:
During the Fed's rate cuts, the 10-year US Treasury yield actually rose from 3.7% to 5%.
The premise of this statement is:
Rate cuts should have lowered long-term rates, but this time it went the opposite way, the first time in over fifty years.
In plain language:
The bond market was calling for rate hikes two years ago; the Fed was just two steps behind.
The ETF brought in buying demand but didn’t answer why the coin price should rise.
Development activity and the DeFi summer are the key points he mentioned.
Before the next batch of data comes out, first watch whether the 10-year yield continues to rise.

The market often doesn't leave opportunities for everyone. When BTC is oscillating at a high level, many people think it will crash; but the real big money is quietly rotating positions, shifting liquidity to strong sectors like ETH, SOL, and SUI.
I've noticed a pattern: in a bull market, those who lose money aren't because they don't buy, but because their positions always follow their emotions. They chase when prices rise, fear when prices fall; they sell just before a rise, buy just before a drop.
Now I pay more attention to three signals: whether BTC can continue to hold its trend steadily; whether ETH is leading the mainstream catch-up rally; and whether SUI and SOL have new capital inflows. If mainstream coins keep attracting funds, altcoins still have rotation opportunities; if BTC volume weakens, then protect profits first.
Remember one thing: in a bull market, the battle is not about predicting the top, but about holding onto your chips.
Are you currently fully invested, half invested, or waiting on the sidelines for an opportunity?
#BTC #ETH #SUI #SOL #OKX
@OKX中文 @WuBlockchain @cz_binance @VitalikButerin @CoinDesk This position is indeed the most uncomfortable spot for UNI right now.
You're absolutely right, 8.7 is a typical *low-volume squeeze setup*.
Let me break down the market for you:
*1. Technicals: all signals are dead*
The 4H J value is 37, RSI is hovering around the 50 midline, indicating neither bulls nor bears have strength. The 5 moving averages are tightly twisted at 8.8, which is called moving average convergence—a classic pre-breakout pattern. If it doesn't break up, it will break down; there is no middle ground.
*2. Key levels are very clear*
You drew it perfectly:
*Above 9.0 - 9.1 is a solid resistance*, all the trapped positions from the previous drop from 9.5 are there, and without volume, it simply can't break through.
*Below 8.6 is the last breath*, once the 4-hour candle closes below 8.6, the next stop is directly 8.0 - 8.2.
*3. What is the main force thinking?*
This kind of "breaking news positive but no price rise" is the clearest signal. No one is buying, and the main force doesn't want to support it either. Drawing a gate between 8.6-9.0 is just to wear down the patience of stubborn holders like you; once you sell, they might pull it up.
There are only two scenarios now:
*A. Deep squat washout:* continue to grind between 8.6-8.9 for 2-3 days, push the 4H RSI below 30, then use a market rally to directly rebound above 9.
*B. Fake support, real smash:* directly dump with volume below 8.6, create panic to buy cheaper blood coins near 8.
So at 8.7, chasing longs is suicidal, and blindly cutting losses might also be selling at the bottom.What’s the next move for the $ETH whales?
Short term (48 hours): Most likely to oscillate between 2,690-2,820. 2,780 is the short-term watershed—if it breaks out with volume, the target is 2,829-2,880; if it fails, it will retest 2,717-2,729. If it falls below 2,697.98 (SUPERTREND), it may accelerate the pullback to 2,650-2,600.
Medium term: With BlackRock continuously buying + ETF net inflows + SEC innovative exemptions + ETH Shanghai 2026, these four core drivers still leave room for ETH. Trader Pentosh1 is optimistic about ETH breaking consolidation and reaching 3,000-3,200 USD. But 1-hour overbought + whale profit-taking + sell wall pressure—pullbacks can happen anytime.
Biggest risks: 1-hour RSI overbought + ADX 61.2 overheating + order book depth ratio 0.13 + whales cashing out $52.07 million above 2,700. This rally is driven by institutional buying, but short-term funds are taking profits—once institutional buying slows, a pullback can happen anytime.
A heartfelt final note:
ETH is at 2,758 today, BlackRock’s single-day inflow is 110 million, a mysterious entity has been buying 55.8 million for 5 consecutive days, ETF net inflows for 2 consecutive days—all bullish stacked high. But 1-hour RSI overbought, 2,780 sell wall pressure, whales cashing out 52.07 million above 2,700, order book depth ratio only 0.13—four red alert risks all lit. Some analysis puts it clearly: “Institutional bullish news is dense, but overbought signals accumulate, and the 2,780 sell wall suppresses short-term upside.” At 2,758, chasing higher is like sending New Year gifts to the whales. Hold your hand, wait for confirmation of a breakout at 2,820 or a retest at 2,717 before acting. Remember, surviving long in crypto is ten thousand times more important than making more money! Meeting adjourned!BitMine's ETH is not just bought to wait for price increases.
This week, about $75 million worth of ETH was purchased again, with holdings reaching 5.98 million coins, approximately 4.9% of the total supply.
More importantly: about 85% has already been staked to earn yields, rather than being directly circulated.
So what really needs attention is not just "how much ETH BitMine holds," but the treasury strategy of continuous buying + large-scale staking + long-term hoarding.
About 120,000 ETH short of the 5% target.
