【Breaking! Costco Earnings Report Tonight, Market Awaits a "Surprise Bonus"】
📍Costco COST to release earnings after market close Thursday night
📊Wall Street expectations: EPS $6.53, revenue $94.8 billion
The real highlight isn’t the earnings, but this 👇
Bank of America analysts are closely watching — a special dividend of about $22 per share!
This retail giant has a tradition: every 2-3 years, it pays shareholders a one-time large dividend, last time was January 2024.
The stock price is almost flat now, indicating funds are "waiting to land," no one is betting early.
Watch for three signals tonight:
1️⃣ Membership renewal rate stability
2️⃣ Whether gross margin is squeezed by inflation
3️⃣ Whether management mentions "special dividend"
Announce dividend → capital chase ✅
Earnings miss → high valuation pressure ⚠️
Results will be revealed tonight, stay tuned.
#USStocks #Costco #COST #EarningsSeason #SpecialDividend #InvestmentNotes #FinancialWatch $BTC $ZEC Tonight's market, to put it simply, is four words: short squeeze meat grinder.
BTC peaked at 85004; ETH surged to 2743, just shy of 2751; SOL also held steady at 115. The three coins pushed upward, but the real highlight is in the liquidation data.
In the past 24 hours, the entire network liquidated $400 million, with shorts accounting for $240 million, more than half. One short position on Ethereum was liquidated for $5.34 million. This isn't a pump; it's stepping on the corpses of shorts to climb higher—every tick up triggers a batch of short stop-losses, which turn into market buy orders, pushing the price further up, creating a chain reaction. The tighter the shorts hold, the easier it is for the whales to lift the price, fueled entirely by the shorts' own stop-loss orders.
Stop asking "who's buying"—the buying pressure is just the shorts getting liquidated.
This kind of short squeeze usually comes fast and goes fast. It's not new money entering, but a short-term resonance of existing funds plus stop-loss orders. Once the shorts are mostly cut, the fuel runs out, and the price can easily retrace.
Watch two things going forward: first, whether ETH can volume-wise hold above 2751—if it can't, it's a false breakout; second, the US stock market opening, with tonight's macro news being unsettled, the combined effect will definitely cause volatility.
I haven't made a move. Chasing longs here is just handing the bag to others, and shorting is like fighting the meat grinder—neither side is favorable. Patiently waiting for a retracement confirmation point.
$BTC $ETH $ZEC
#加密总市值重返2.8万亿美元 $ONE This ONE position has been the most mentally taxing holding I've had recently, bar none.
Holding it neither gains nor loses, while watching others' coins rotate and surge daily, my position remains completely stagnant, which is really torturous.
I initially believed in the public chain narrative and heavily invested, but now I understand: without capital backing, no matter how good the story is, it's just empty talk.
Every time the market warms up, it’s always the weakest one, with weak rebounds and rapid dumps.
The next few days will most likely remain stagnant, with no independent market movement.
I've come to terms with it now and won't waste time on it anymore. The biggest fear in trading is "reluctance to cut losses"; mediocre holdings consume the most time, mental energy, and opportunity cost.
This wave was purely my own misjudgment. From now on, I will firmly avoid investing in neglected old public chains, wasting market opportunities.$BTC is going crazy! The shorts have all been squeezed out, right?
This wave of short sellers really got crushed. In the past 24 hours, the entire market liquidated over $750 million, of which about $648 million were short positions, accounting for more than 80%. Note, these are shorts across the whole crypto market, not just BTC.
Why did it rally so sharply? Because shorts got forcibly liquidated and had to buy back to close their positions. These buy orders pushed the price up, causing the next batch of shorts to also break. The higher it goes, the more people are forced to buy.
They originally bet on it falling, but ended up fueling the rise themselves.
The most miserable now are probably those who just cut losses a few days ago. When it was falling, they feared it would drop further; now that it’s rising, they think it’s too expensive. Watching BTC climb by thousands, suddenly they can’t hold onto their money.
Today, you can say the bull is back. As for your positions, don’t get too excited and forget all the losses you just took.🔥 In this bull market cycle, how far can FIL and DOGE really go?
I prefer to see them as two completely different chips:
FIL: AI storage, DePIN, RWA, Onchain Cloud — following the "infrastructure narrative."
DOGE: Meme, community, Musk, payment imagination — driven by "emotional outburst."
If the bull market continues to expand, I personally will focus on several price ranges:
📌 FIL: $2–3 → $5–8 → $10+
📌 DOGE: $0.15–0.25 → $0.30–0.50 → $0.60+
And if we really enter a phase of total altcoin frenzy, FIL $15+ and DOGE $1 cannot be completely ruled out, but that belongs to extreme emotional markets and should not be taken as definite targets.
What I’m more concerned about now is not "which one will definitely rise," but when capital rotation will spread from BTC to infrastructure, and then to Meme.
When the bull market truly goes crazy, it’s often not that there are no opportunities, but that opportunities start to appear in rotation.WHALES ARE MOVING — BUT WHERE IS LIQUIDITY HEADING?
$BTC and $ETH hold constructive structures, but when leverage and positioning become crowded, a liquidity sweep can come before the next move.
$BTC holding above $85K → strengthens the bullish structure and leaves room for price discovery.
$ETH around $2.7K → a key confirmation zone where volume and OI need to align.
No chasing. No FOMO.
Let price confirm first, then let capital flows validate it. Discipline matters more than speed. Account Position Divergence Radar
$DOGE top account count is more long-biased, but position distribution is more short-biased: top account long-short ratio is 1.582, top position long-short ratio is 0.793; overall market account long-short ratio is 2.606; price increased by 0.57%, position amount changed by -0.40%.
$PEPE top account count is more long-biased, but position distribution is more short-biased: top account long-short ratio is 1.141, top position long-short ratio is 0.776; overall market account long-short ratio is 2.371; price increased by 0.35%, position amount changed by +0.66%.
$WLD top account count is more long-biased, but position distribution is more short-biased: top account long-short ratio is 1.106, top position long-short ratio is 0.860; overall market account long-short ratio is 2.482; price decreased by 0.33%, position amount changed by -0.20%.
DOGE, PEPE, WLD: The side with the dominant account count is opposite to the side with the dominant position amount, indicating divergence between account structure and position distribution; the overall market account structure is long-biased, which also differs from the top position bias.During the $BTC rally, there was a very obvious short squeeze.
After the price broke through a key level, hundreds of millions of dollars worth of short positions were forcibly liquidated in a short time.
Short covering requires passive buying in the market, and these orders continue to push the price higher, creating wave after wave of short squeezes.
This is one of the main reasons why today's market moved so fast and strong.
The significance of the short squeeze is not just that some people lost money, but it also means that the selling positions that were suppressing the market are being cleared.
The more concentrated the shorts above, the stronger the upward momentum released after the price breaks through.
The market has now cleared the dense short zone around 82,000–83,000, the previous resistance has been opened, and the price is entering a new expansion range.
As long as the high level can hold sideways, newly opened short positions may still become fuel for the next round of rally.
So from the liquidation structure perspective, I will not guess a top against the trend for now. The more reasonable direction currently is still to follow the upward structure and look for pullback opportunities. #加密总市值重返2.8万亿美元 $VIRTUAL surged 10.94% today. The key metric to watch is the 3.19x ratio of institutional to retail investors. Large holders' long positions clearly outweigh those of retail investors, with big money already on the bullish side, while retail hasn't caught up yet. The contract open interest is only $16.7 million, indicating a light market cap, so the direction is basically controlled by the big holders. The current price is 0.7118, still 15% below the 90-day high, leaving room to the upside and chips are not congested. The outlook for the next 24 hours remains bullish; this rally will be followed by a turnover consolidation rather than a pullback. The more hesitant the retail investors are, the steadier this move will be.What’s the next move for $DOGE whales to dump?
Short term (48 hours): Most likely to oscillate between 0.089-0.095. 0.095 is the short-term watershed—if it breaks out with volume, the target is 0.098-0.10; if it fails, it will retest 0.090-0.088. If it falls below 0.08994 (SUPERTREND), it may accelerate the retest to 0.088-0.084.
Mid term: If DOGE can hold above 0.095 and break through, the target points to 0.10-0.105. The Ichimoku cloud breakout and whale buying have laid the foundation for the price to move toward $0.10. But RSI at 93 is extremely overbought + 846 million DOGE open contracts remain on exchanges + weak institutional demand—this rally is driven by short covering and smart money bets, not spot buying.
The biggest risk: RSI at 93 extreme overbought + 846 million DOGE open contracts on exchanges + overall weak institutional demand. Once the fuel for short covering runs out, real buying is needed to push prices—if buying doesn’t keep up, a pullback could happen at any time.
A heartfelt final word:
DOGE is at 0.094 today, MACD poised for a breakout after zero line accumulation, smart money betting 3:1 on bulls, whales scooping up 240 million DOGE—bullish factors stacked high. But RSI at 93 extreme overbought, 846 million DOGE open contracts on exchanges, and weak institutional demand—three red flags all lit. One analysis said it well: “Such extreme Bollinger Band compression is itself a technical event; extreme compression often signals an imminent violent event.” At 0.094, chasing higher is like handing the whales their New Year’s gift. Hold your hands, wait for confirmation of a breakout at 0.095 or a retest at 0.089 before acting. Remember, in crypto, surviving longer is ten thousand times more important than making more money! Meeting adjourned!For those holding $DOGE positions: If you bought in at 0.07-0.08, your unrealized gains are already 15-20%. It is recommended to gradually reduce your position by over 50% at 0.095-0.098, and set a trailing stop profit for the remaining position (move stop loss up to 0.088). RSI at 93 indicates extreme overbought conditions; reducing positions to lock in profits is a wise move.
Long strategy (cautious): Wait for a pullback to 0.0899-0.0908 with volume expansion and a stop-fall signal, enter at 0.0899-0.0908, stop loss below 0.087, target 0.095-0.10. Leverage 3-5x, position size within 2%. Core logic: SAR and SUPERTREND confirm bullish trend + smart money betting 3:1 on bulls + whales scooping up 240 million coins.
Short strategy (high risk): If price rebounds to 0.095-0.098 with shrinking volume and a long upper shadow appears, enter at 0.095-0.098, stop loss above 0.10, target 0.089-0.091. Leverage 1-2x, position size within 1%. Core logic: RSI at 93 extreme overbought + psychological resistance at 0.10 + crowded retail bulls.
Most stable strategy (wait and see): Price is indecisive around 0.094. Resistance at 0.09484-0.095, support space at 0.09076-0.08994. Wait for confirmation of a breakout above 0.095 or a pullback confirmation at 0.089 before taking action! SpaceX is clearly still making a profit on this, but it feels a bit painful to watch 😮💨 Short position opened at 156, screenshot taken at 153.89, single contract floating profit +101.44%, position still open. Earlier it was +166.34%, the target of 146 hasn't been reached yet, and the floating profit has already retreated somewhat.
Looking at the earnings report again this time, one detail makes me more cautious about chasing highs: Starlink's subscribers doubled year-over-year in Q2, but the average monthly revenue per user dropped from $85 to $66. This is a year-over-year change; month-over-month it was actually stable, not a recent sudden drop.
One of my bearish concerns lies here: if you only imagine the future by doubling the user base but assume each user still contributes revenue as before, the calculation can easily look too optimistic. User scale is worth watching, but it cannot replace judgment on profitability. However, operating profit from the connectivity business still grew 79% in the same period, which also shows you can't declare the whole business worse just because one metric declined. These are valuation questions, not evidence of an immediate price drop.
Back to the position, from 153.89 to 146 still requires about a 5.1% drop, so it’s not close to the target yet. I want to see if the upcoming rebound has momentum: if it pulls back to around 155–156 and holds, I’ll consider taking some profits off the table instead of risking all floating gains on 146. Conversely, if the rebound doesn’t go far and the price continues down, then it’s worth waiting longer. #加密总市值重返2.8万亿美元 $DOGE Fed and Macroeconomics — Rate Hike Implemented, but the “Elephant in the Room” Remains!
First, the Fed raised rates by 25 basis points, but Bitcoin did not crash. On September 16, the Fed raised the federal funds rate target range by 25 basis points to 3.75%–4.00%. Despite the dual negative impact of the rate hike and the rejection of the "Clarity Act," Bitcoin’s price did not collapse; instead, it remained relatively stable after the key vote. Market analysts believe Bitcoin’s sensitivity to Washington’s legislative process has decreased, with global liquidity and adoption cycles still being the main driving factors.
Second, the 10-year US Treasury yield hit 5% — the real “silent elephant in the room.” The 10-year US Treasury yield reached 5.04%, the highest since 2007. The high discount rate directly suppresses crypto asset valuations. As a longer-duration risk asset, the crypto market is naturally more sensitive to discount rate fluctuations compared to stocks.
Third, the regulatory path is shifting to SEC and CFTC leadership. After the Senate rejected the "Clarity Act," US crypto regulation is moving from a permanent statutory law approach to an agency-led, rule-driven path. On Thursday, the SEC issued a temporary, conditional innovation exemption allowing eligible crypto platform users to trade tokenized US stocks. Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan believes the US still has about two and a half years of a relatively crypto-friendly regulatory environment.🔥 Four Positions Can Still Be One Big Risk-On Bet 📈 Don’t look at $BTC , $ETH , $CORE, and $ZEC as four completely separate trades. If they’re all expressing the same risk-on thesis, stacking them can create much more exposure than the position count suggests. When the dollar strengthens and crypto comes under pressure, correlations can rise quickly — meaning several positions may move against you together. 🎯 Fewer correlated bets, or smaller sizing. #CryptoCapReclaims2.8T #ZEC38KShortClosedSeptember 21 Market Review: BTC violently surges past 85,000, ETH follows, shorts get bloodied
[Market Overview]
Today, the cryptocurrency market collectively erupted. Bitcoin briefly broke through $85,000, hitting a new high since late January, with a 24-hour gain exceeding 5.5%. Ethereum followed, rising to around $2,740, up over 6%. SOL, XRP, and DOGE all turned green across the board.
The most brutal was the liquidation data—over the past 24 hours, more than 136,000 people worldwide were liquidated, with total liquidations nearing $750 million. Shorts were liquidated for $650 million, with $270 million wiped out in just one hour.
[Why the surge? Three core drivers]
ETF capital inflow: The US spot Bitcoin ETF saw a single-day net inflow of $592.5 million, and the Ethereum ETF also resumed net inflows, with institutions re-entering to buy the dip.
Short squeeze: After BTC broke the key resistance at 84,000, massive short liquidations were triggered. Forced buybacks further pushed prices up, creating positive feedback.
Technical confirmation: BTC weekly close stood above the 50-week moving average for the first time in 45 weeks. Historical data shows reclaiming the 50-week MA often signals the bottom of a bear market.
[On-chain signals]
Exchange ETH balances dropped to a 5-year low, with over 35% of ETH staked and locked, continuously shrinking circulating supply.
Long-term holders’ profit realization rate fell from 88% to 42%, significantly easing selling pressure.
Strategy holdings have unrealized gains exceeding $8.1 billion, with no signs of whales selling.
[Outlook]
In the short term, BTC faces resistance between 83,000 and 85,000. A daily close above 83,000 is needed to confirm further upward momentum. Support levels are at 80,000 and 77,500. ETH’s key resistance is between 2,700 and 2,750; a breakout could target 3,000.
On the macro front, neither the Fed’s rate hikes nor setbacks to the CLARITY Act have been able to push prices down, indicating strong market resilience. The focus now is on the October 2 nonfarm payroll data and CPI; liquidity expectations remain the true big picture.
[Trading strategy]
The major bullish trend remains intact, but short-term volatility is intensifying. Avoid heavy positions during the oscillation range; wait for pullbacks to support levels to enter gradually. Stop-losses are essential—this kind of market can wipe you out with a single spike. $BTC $ETH short-term trend is weak, but that doesn't mean I'm really weak!!!
Currently, ETH's market performance is indeed not as good as BTC and SOL, it can't outperform SOL, nor can it outrun BTC. But I actually think this might be an opportunity. Over 43 million tokens have been staked, accounting for about 35% of the circulating supply, and the number queued to stake is more than 13 times the number queued to exit staking.
In simple terms, those wanting to dump the market may not actually hold that much spot, which is also why ETH has the confidence not to fall deeply. ETF funds did outflow $140 million last week, but on September 18 alone, $144 million flowed back in, basically filling the gap the same day. $BTC
Plus, BlackRock keeps buying, so the capital situation isn't as weak as imagined. $ZEC
So now ETH is stuck around 2720, seemingly lacking momentum, but the key is: it can't fall further. As long as this level holds steady, if BTC and SOL continue to surge, ETH will find it hard to lag behind. In terms of trading, if there is a short-term pullback to around 2710, focus on observing bullish support. As long as BTC doesn't show obvious weakness, ETH is likely to continue climbing, and 2800 is still worth looking forward to.
#加密总市值重返2.8万亿美元
#ZEC巨鲸3.8万枚空单平仓，亏损超3500万美元
#特朗普将会晤海湾六国，伊朗局势迎关键节点 With such a good market, is anyone still losing money?!
$ZEC intraday from 1430 to 1582, only two words in my heart: relieved.
I closed my short positions a couple of days ago, and now it looks like a life-saving move. This thing has pulled back up again, just a breath away from the previous high of 1595. If I were still holding shorts, I'd have been beaten so badly that even my own mother wouldn't recognize me. $ZEC is like the strictest old father to the bears, curing all kinds of "I think it's topped out" illusions.
At 1582, chasing in is basically betting it can break 1600. I glanced at the order book; the volume isn't explosive, more like a short squeeze momentum, not a new trend. Resistance above is 1595-1600; only with volume breaking above there can we look at 1650; support below is 1500-1520; falling back there would mean weakness.
This $ZEC rollercoaster, I've already profited from a round of shorts, no greed for the next bite. I'll consider acting again only when it truly holds above 1600 or drops back to 1400.The world is changing fast, even faster than flipping through a book.
Take a look at the market: crude oil has plunged more than 3.5%, while Bitcoin has surprisingly rallied nearly 5% against the trend. On one side, the war might escalate; on the other, risk assets are celebrating wildly. The whole script behind this is set for the meeting at the United Nations in New York on September 22.
Trump is going to meet with the leaders of the six Gulf countries: Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Oman. What’s the topic? The "next phase" of the Iran war and the U.S.'s "post-war strategy." Trump himself hinted that a "major decision" is imminent, not ruling out renewed fighting, but also saying Iran actually wants to negotiate.
Iran hasn’t been idle either; through Qatar, it has submitted ceasefire conditions: end the front lines, unfreeze funds, and lift the blockade. Both sides are applying extreme pressure—one sharpening knives, the other leaving room for talks. We know this script too well: whoever backs down first loses momentum.
Here’s my take.
This situation is a classic case of "Schrödinger’s war." If you don’t want to bet on the direction, just wait for the results on September 22. If talks succeed, oil prices will keep falling, inflation will drop, and the crypto market will have good days ahead. If talks fail, oil prices will skyrocket, inflation will be uncontrollable, the Fed’s probability of raising rates in October will increase, and Bitcoin will have to retest lows. At times like this, hold your hands—don’t heavily bet on one side before the news breaks.
#特朗普将会晤海湾六国，伊朗局势迎关键节点 The predicted 85,000 at the beginning of September, whether by the end of the month or before the new year, has finally appeared. BTC hitting 85,000, shorts just got bloodied for hundreds of millions, who dares to short at the top? When the short squeeze is at its fiercest, no matter how logical it is, you can't withstand the volatility. The crazier it rises, the more it looks like fireworks built on leverage: after shorts explode, the next wave of long chasers gets cut. Those who really dare to short are either stubborn or hunters waiting for a pullback. This market isn't afraid of lack of courage, it's afraid of mistaking 'daring not to short' for 'still able to rise.' 📈📈Do not stack $BTC, $ETH, $CORE, $ZEC and call it four trades.
🔥🔥 That is one risk-on ticket with extra tickets.
If the dollar squeezes crypto, all four mark the same way. Cut the count or cut the size.
#CryptoCapReclaims2.8T #ZEC38KShortClosed 10% upside (59% odds) vs. 17% downside (48%). Worth the bet?
Crypto is increasingly driven by positioning and capital flows, not just narratives. ETF inflows and short liquidations support the rally, but squeezes fade while resistance above $85K remains.
Logic ≠ guaranteed profit. Trade with caution.
#CryptoCapReclaims2.8T #ZEC38KShortClosed #TrumpGulfIranTalks $ZEC Whale Short Closed at $35M Loss — But Don’t Chase the Hype $ZEC just delivered another wild market moment. 👀 A whale reportedly closed a 38,000 ZEC short after holding it for nearly three months, realizing a loss of around $35M. The entire position was closed through market orders within roughly 1.5 hours on September 21. Price then jumped about 2.7%, triggering the usual “whale surrendered, now we moon” comments. But don’t get ahead of yourself. A forced short exit can add buying pressu950 BTC, showing off again?
The news is so lively, the engine restarts!
Damn it, these pig brains are just biting people.
Look where the money went this week:
Bought BTC 77 million,
Repurchased their own preferred shares STRC 174 million.
Spent twice as much on their own shares than on coins.
Is this called a restart? This is a leak.
And don’t take those 950 coins seriously.
They bought 4603 coins in August, now only 950, shrinking by almost 80%. They even paused for two weeks in between, remember?
Saylor posts some more orange X tweets to tease, the real cash was already cut back.
MicroStrategy is no longer a coin-buying company; it’s a leveraged machine surviving on premiums. They can barely take care of themselves, prioritizing preferred shares first, no time to pile up coins.
Retail investors see "buying 950 again" and cheer bullish,
But the structure says: the guy is holding the bag.
Think about it: is this 950 bottom-fishing, or just a show to keep you from running?$BTC This round can break through quickly, and liquidity played a significant role.
Around 82,000–83,000 previously, many short positions had accumulated. After the price broke through, stop-loss and forced liquidation orders were triggered in concentration, forming passive buy orders that pushed the market rapidly upward.
This indicates that the previous resistance has been absorbed by the market.
What’s more noteworthy is that after the price broke through, it did not immediately fall back to the original consolidation zone but continued to operate at a high level.
The original resistance area is transforming into a support zone for pullbacks, and the market structure has shifted from range-bound consolidation to upward expansion.
As the price rises, new short liquidity will continue to accumulate upward. As long as the breakout area remains valid, the market has the momentum to continue seeking liquidity above.
My judgment on this round of the market remains bullish.
The rise may not be a straight line every day; there will be pullbacks in between, but pullbacks are more like a reshuffling of hands rather than the end of the trend. What’s more important now is to patiently wait for the support positions rather than rushing to guess the top. $ZEC What’s the next move for the whale manipulators?
Short term (48 hours): Most likely to oscillate between 1,489 and 1,572. 1,572 is the short-term watershed—if it breaks out with volume, the target is 1,600-1,650; if it fails to break through, it will retest 1,515-1,489. If it falls below 1,489 (SAR), it may accelerate the retest to 1,460-1,442.
Mid term: With Grayscale ETF continuously attracting funds + NU7 upgrade expectations + privacy sector narrative, ZEC still has room under these three core drivers. Some analysis sets the target at 1,750-1,865 USD. But a whale depositing to Coinbase + Garrett Jin’s spot unrealized profit of 221 million USD—this rally is driven by short covering, not spot buying. Once the fuel for short covering runs out, real buying pressure is needed to push it further.
The biggest risk: A whale depositing 15 million USD worth of ZEC to Coinbase (first time in 10 months) + Garrett Jin’s spot unrealized profit of 221 million USD + exhaustion of short fuel. ZEC rose from 16 USD to 1,572 USD, a 98-fold increase in one year. Chasing highs at this level is like jumping off a building with your eyes closed.
---
A heartfelt last word
ZEC is at 1,542 today, Garrett Jin’s short position liquidated 36.13 million, NU7 governance passed 99.9%, Paradigm endorsement—all positive stacked high. But a whale depositing 15 million USD to Coinbase, short fuel exhausted, Garrett Jin’s spot unrealized profit of 221 million USD—three red flags all lit. An analysis said it clearly: "After the fuel for short liquidation runs out, real buying is needed to sustain momentum." At 1,542, chasing highs is just delivering New Year’s gifts to the whale manipulators. Hold your hands, wait for a confirmed breakout at 1,600 or a confirmed retest at 1,515 before acting. Remember, surviving long in crypto is ten thousand times more important than making a lot of money! Meeting adjourned!1. Underlying foundation: During the downtrend, the supply side has quietly completed chip bottoming
Many people think the rally happens instantly, but in fact, the on-chain chip accumulation was already laid during the downtrend phase.
1. Staking scale continues to hit new highs, circulating supply passively shrinks
The total amount of Ethereum staked continues to rise, with nearly 30% of circulating ETH locked in validator nodes, unable to enter the secondary market for selling. A large amount of ETH continues to flow out from major exchanges, exchange inventories keep declining, and the floating chips that the market can directly dump are continuously compressed.
Staking brings structural changes: not everyone is buying, but the coins available to sell have decreased. As long as the buying side warms up slightly, a significant rebound is easy to trigger. But this should be viewed objectively: staking is a long-term lock-up and will not unlock massively due to short-term price fluctuations; it provides a base, not a direct trigger for short-term surges.
2. Spot ETF outflow inflection point appears, institutional funds stop stampeding
During the previous correction phase, ETH spot ETFs experienced phased redemptions, with institutional trading desks taking profits and exiting, which was an important force suppressing prices.
On the eve of this rebound, ETF fund flows reversed from net redemptions back to net inflows. Note, this is not a single-day frenzy of hundreds of billions rushing in, but a stop in redemptions and a return of marginal buying. Institutions no longer collectively run out, and the biggest source of market selling pressure disappears, opening space for a rebound. $ETH $BTC $ZEC #加密总市值重返2.8万亿美元 #ZEC巨鲸3.8万枚空单平仓，亏损超3500万美元 #$ZEC holders with base positions: If you bought below 500, your unrealized gains have more than doubled. It is recommended to gradually reduce your position by over 50% between 1,570-1,620, and set a trailing take-profit for the remaining position (move stop-loss up to 1,490). RSI at 58.78 is healthy, but after the whale closed short positions, upward momentum has decreased + whales are depositing to Coinbase, so reducing positions to lock in profits is a wise move.
Long strategy (cautious): Wait for a pullback to 1,489-1,515 with volume expansion and a stop in the decline signal, enter at 1,489-1,515, stop-loss below 1,460, target 1,572-1,600. Leverage 2-3x, position size within 2%. Core logic: NU7 governance implementation + Paradigm backing + Grayscale ETF capital inflow.
Short strategy (high risk): If it rebounds to 1,572-1,600 with shrinking volume and a long upper wick appears, enter at 1,572-1,600, stop-loss above 1,630, target 1,515-1,489. Leverage 1-2x, position size within 1%. Core logic: whales arbitraging between exchanges + short fuel exhausted + short-term excessive gains.
Safest strategy (wait and see): 1,542 is indecisive. Resistance is at 1,572-1,600 above, support space is 1,515-1,489 below. Wait for confirmation of a breakout above 1,600 or a pullback confirmation at 1,515 before taking action!
---$ZEC Contract Data and Technicals — RSI 58.78 is healthy, but upward momentum decreases after whale short positions close!
Funding Rate: Funding rate is about +0.0068% to +0.0070%, longs are paying shorts, longs dominate but the rate is moderate, not yet at an extreme crowded level.
Open Interest: Open interest is about $2.4 billion, up 60% in 24 hours, ranking just behind BTC, ETH, and HYPE on the platform. Open interest dropped after short liquidations, indicating a reduction in upward fuel.
Technicals: Daily Bollinger Bands are opening upward, MACD golden cross confirmed, moving averages fully aligned bullish. ZEC has broken above the bull flag upper boundary; if it can sustain above $1,300-$1,350, the target is $1,750-$1,865. However, after whale short position closures, the core upward fuel (short covering) is decreasing, requiring real buying pressure to continue.
Key Judgment: $1,572 is the short-term watershed — a breakout with volume targets $1,600-$1,650; failure to break through leads to a pullback to $1,515-$1,489. Circle allows institutions to use $BTC as collateral to borrow $USDC, no need to sell coins anymore
Circle Mint has launched collateralized lending: deposit $BTC to mint cirBTC, then borrow $USDC against it.
What others think: This is great news; institutions can get cash without selling their coins.
What I think: The collateral is cirBTC, not $BTC itself.
Key rule: The credit of the wrapped coin is fully backed by Circle.
Trigger condition: Once liquidation happens, the asset liquidated on-chain is cirBTC, not the spot $BTC.
In other words, there is an extra layer of wrapping; the risk hasn’t decreased, it’s just transferred to another party.
I’m holding off, waiting for the first liquidation data to come out before making a move.
People with limited means should wait until they understand it before getting involved.

At the institutional level: Grayscale spot ETF (ZCSH) continues to attract capital. The Grayscale Zcash Trust launched on August 25 saw its AUM grow from $300 million to $514 million in two weeks, holding over 550,000 ZEC. Institutions that previously couldn’t buy ZEC can now allocate with one click.
But whales are arbitraging and selling on exchanges! Whale address t1Lyq deposited $15 million worth of ZEC to Coinbase, marking the first recharge to an exchange in 10 months. Whales have placed heavy short orders above 1,572, waiting for retail investors chasing highs to rush in.
The whales’ scheme: Institutions keep buying at the ETF level, but whales are arbitraging and selling on exchanges. Garrett Jin’s short position closure was "forced," but his 202,078 ZEC spot holdings have an unrealized profit of $221 million — he can dump the spot anytime to turn paper gains into real cash. You earn book profits; he earns 21 times the return.
---BTC Deep V Reversal: Is the Bearish Scenario Invalidated?
Despite a series of negative factors, BTC no longer fears the storm. After a spike below 84,000+, it quickly recovered, catching the bears off guard with a deep V pattern. Killa reflects: In a bear market, everything is a threat; in a bull market, negative news is immune—market logic has shifted.
Technical analyst Doctor Profit focuses on key levels: the 50-week moving average at 78,700 is the dividing line between bull and bear markets. Closing above it this week signals a start; if 85,000 is taken, 88,000 is within reach. Currently, oscillating near 84,000, the 80K support is exceptionally strong.
Strategy CEO is more direct: Hoarding coins is not the end goal; the ambition is to become the "JPMorgan of crypto," with a 15 billion DeFi footprint.
🔥 Key focus: BTC 80K support, break above 83K to confirm.
After extreme shakeout, are you off the train or still on board?
#加密总市值重返2.8万亿美元
#交易之声：你的经验值得被听到 And as I watch the K-line, there's only one thought in my heart: very good, the analysis was right, but no money was made.
This is probably the most awkward moment for veteran traders.
When the price drops, they study support levels every day, afraid that the last drop will bury them; when it really rises, they think about waiting for a pullback to get back in.
But BTC is very polite: no pullback, and the tail lights are almost out of sight.
Now you want me to chase?
Honestly, I really can't bring myself to do it.
Missing out is already painful enough, and if I go all in at a high point just to make up for missing out, and then the last spike hits, that’s not missing out anymore—that’s precisely completing the trading loop of "first no profit, then a loss."
So my current strategy is very simple: if I miss the big trend, I accept it.
I don’t fight the market out of spite, nor do I chase recklessly just to prove my courage.
Every day I quietly do some short-term trades I’m confident in to make some pocket money; the rest of the funds go into wealth management to earn some yield, while watching others show off their profit screenshots.
Others say in a day: "+18%."
I say in a day: "Wealth management yield credited +58U."
Don’t ask.
If you ask, it’s because I’m steady; ask too much and it’s just bittersweet. 😂
But after experiencing many bull and bear markets, I can now accept this state.
The market won’t stop rising just because I didn’t get on board, and I don’t need to disrupt my own rhythm just because the market is rising.
The biggest lesson this round might not be catching BTC, but watching it rise with open eyes and still resisting the urge to chase recklessly.
After all, veteran traders have never survived by getting on board every time.
Instead—it’s that even though they talk tough when missing out, their hands can still hold back. 😂VOLATILITY IS WHERE TRADERS GET TRAPPED.
$ONE can pump hard, dump fast, and stay unpredictable for hours.
Thinking “it must crash” isn’t a strategy.
Shorting without confirmation can mean paying funding while price does absolutely nothing.
Sometimes the best trade is NO TRADE. 🧠
🎯 Would you short $ONE here, or wait for confirmation?#CryptoCapReclaims2.8T #ZEC38KShortClosed #TrumpGulfIranTalks Starting at 3 p.m. today, BTC saw a big bullish candlestick jump from 82,000 to 85,479, up 4.82% in the day. Some in the group shouted, "The bulls are back," others said, "85,000 is just the starting point." Don't get too excited — let me tell you how today's big bullish candlestick actually came about. First, $300 million in short liquidations within one hour. Blockto data: During this afternoon's rally, $300 million in short positions were forced liquidated in just one hour, accounting for the vast majority of all liquidations at that time. What does this mean? This wave of buying wasn't because some were bullish, but because the bears had no choice but to close positions. → price increased→ short margin was insufficient forced to close positions→ the price rose even more→ more short liquidations — this is textbook-level short squeezing. Second, three positive factors collided simultaneously. Last week, the SEC introduced an "innovation exemption" rule, allowing tokenized stocks to be traded on-chain; ETFs saw a net inflow of 435 million in a single day on Friday; Oil prices fell for four consecutive days, easing the situation in the Middle East. These three positive factors alone are not enough to raise $5,000, but when combined, they become a nightmare for bears. Third, and most importantly—funds are rotating back from AI stocks. Hogan (Chief Strategist at CoinShares) said something very apt today: "Investors are pulling out of AI stocks and switching back to crypto." "AI trading is too hot, momentum funds are looking for the next trend, BTC is exactly at 80,000 $SOL is back at $116.82, up 5.08%, with ~$112M volume. The move is strong, but I’m watching $115 as the key breakout level. If price retests it, holds, and reclaims $117.5 with volume, I’d look for continuation.
Entry: $115–116.5
SL: $112.8
TP1: $119 | TP2: $122 | TP3: $125 | TP4: $129
R:R: ~1:1.2–1:4.7
If SOL loses $112.8, I’ll invalidate the long. I’m trading the retest, not chasing the 5% move.$VINE In this game, the opponent has already pushed the flank pawn to one square before my baseline—RSI short-term surged to 70.6, the overbought zone's air is so thin it's suffocating.
Any grandmaster knows that when a pawn advances three steps faster than its support system, it's not a vanguard, it's a sacrificed piece. In 24H it rose 7.02%, its position within the Bollinger Bands short-term cycle is 112%—note, this is not a breakout, this is offside. The upper band has fallen to 0.8% below, meaning this candlestick is hanging entirely outside the board. The long-term RSI is only 47.7, the mid-term hasn't caught up at all; this is a classic case of a lone advance.
My judgment is: this is not a breakout, it's a diversion tactic. The opponent uses a beautiful feint to lure me to push my pieces forward, then traps me in the endgame. The Bollinger Bands mid-term position is 62%, with the upper and lower bands squeezed to just 4.8% and 8.3%—the board is narrowing, the variations are decreasing, adding positions now is like voluntarily sacrificing pieces in a stalemate.
So my move is the opposite: no chase, short. Entry is set at 1.0% above the current price, letting the opponent make the first move so I can occupy that diagonal. The first and second target retreat routes are -9.2% and -7.6%, which are the squares inevitably filled after the collapse of the king's flank pawns. Stop loss is set at +11.5%, the only allowed margin of error in this game—exceeding it means admitting the position was misread and resetting the board.
📉 Short:
Entry: $0.01 (current price +1.0%)
Take Profit 1: $0.01 (-9.2%)
Take Profit 2: $0.01 (-7.6%)
Stop Loss: $0.01 (+11.5%)
The real decisive move in this game is not today's candlestick, but rather—when overbought signals and long-term neutrality appear simultaneously, the market makes only one mistake: mistaking bait for a breakout pattern.I am from a design institute, and reading K-lines is like reviewing construction drawings — the current annotation on this $UMA blueprint is: structural surfaces have developed cracks, but the load-bearing columns have not yet collapsed.
Let's start with the foundation. The Bollinger Bands short cycle has already pushed the price to 118%, with only -0.3% margin to the upper band and +2.0% buffer to the lower band — this is not an upward channel, it's like concrete poured right up to the formwork top; once the formwork is removed, support must be found. The mid-cycle Bollinger Bands position is at 80%, with only +0.8% space left to the upper band and +3.1% tolerance to the lower band, indicating that the mid-term load hasn't left any upward reinforcement margin. RSI short cycle is 68.0, long cycle 45.8; the scissors gap of short-term strength and long-term weakness is what I dread most — like a project facade done fancily, but the structural calculation report is full of yellow warnings.
Now look at today's 24-hour amplitude, only 1.96%. This is not stability; it's micro-crack propagation under static load. On the surface, nothing seems wrong, but once the stress direction changes, the decorative layer will crack first.
My judgment is straightforward: this is not a building that can have another floor added; this is a building that needs to be unloaded.
📉 Short:
Entry: 0.38 (current price +3.2%)
Take Profit 1: 0.34 (-5.4%)
Take Profit 2: 0.35 (-3.0%)
Stop Loss: 0.42 (-15.2%)
Why set the entry 3.2% above the current price? Because I don't chase the structural crack downwards; I wait for it to rebound to test the -0.3% upper band pressure level — that's the first reinforcement processing zone for the bears. Shorting around 0.38 is like pulling the blueprint away when the owner still thinks they can add another floor.
0.34 is my first target, a drop of -5.4%. This level corresponds to about 2.0% extension below the short-cycle Bollinger Bands lower band, theoretically the foundation backfill layer's bearing platform. Target 2 is set at 0.35, a -3.0% drop, as a backup mid-level support, because old projects like $UMA often fake load-bearing columns at integer price points.
Stop loss at 0.42, 15.2% above the current price. This wide stop loss is not due to hesitation; shorting against the trend must leave deformation joints in the structure, otherwise a false breakout's stress rebound will throw you off the scaffolding.
Look at the long-term RSI at only 45.8. A project's central strength lingering at 45.8 long-term means it can't even hold the neutral zone; no matter how the blueprint changes, the foundation's reinforcement ratio can't be faked. $UMA's narrative is good, but the narrative is a rendering; on-chain activity and scalability are the structural calculation book. A rendering can win a concept design award, but if the structural calculation book fails, the building must be demolished.
The current price is stuck at the short-cycle Bollinger Bands top at 118%, with only -0.3% to the upper band — this is like a concrete column poured up to the formwork top; pumping more will cause slurry overflow. Shorting means retreating before the formwork bulges.$BTC accomplished 3 "impossibles" this week:
① Rates rose to 4%, yet $BTC +6%
② Regulatory bills died, but coin price did NOT die
③ Surged $75,000 → $81,400 in just 5 days, Greed Index 70, weekly +4.26%, 24h volatility $2,000
Bears thought rate hike was noose, turned out to be starting gun.
SEC's 5-year innovation exemption signed, on-chain US stock trading legalized — this is real trump card.
Trading strategy: $80,000 is new floor,not ceiling. Pullback that doesn't break it = signal
$BTC Reviewed the trading records from this year; high-frequency short-term trading is really exhausting. Although the win rate is only a bit over 40%, overall it is still profitable.
I also studied a lot of Jesse Livermore's trading logic, the founding master, as well as many other trading masters. The final conclusion: the real way to make big money is to pursue large swings and major trends. Frequent trading will only limit your own perspective. $BTC $ETH Is this recent drop by the big player the end or the final plunge?
A viewpoint in the market has sparked discussion recently.
Jack Yi, founder of Liquid Capital, has mentioned multiple times before:
July to August might be the last bottom-fishing window in the market, with the core logic being that the third wave of decline since October 11 could correspond to the final release in the cycle.
But he also emphasized:
The market always has black swan events; the bottom can never be predicted precisely, just like the extreme oversell of BTC caused by the FTX incident back then.
Looking now, the big player has climbed back near 80,000, and market sentiment is recovering.
What truly deserves attention is not the short-term ups and downs.
But rather:
Whether the chips have reconcentrated after the drop.
Whether the funds have returned.
Historically, every major bottom has been accompanied by panic and doubt.
When no one dares to buy, that is often when funds are repositioning.
But don't forget:
Being right about the direction doesn't mean making money.
Position size, timing, and patience are the keys to navigating the cycle.
The above is just a personal market record and does not constitute trading advice.
$BTC Two types of volume and price patterns are the most common and also the easiest to misinterpret.
The first type: small bars + large volume
Short bodies, few shadows, but volume suddenly expands.
This indicates fierce battle between bulls and bears at this price level, and the price temporarily cannot move.
Two possible follow-up moves: After volume expands, continue in the original direction → continuation, trend accelerates
After volume expands, reverse direction → reversal, the previous wave was a climax of selling pressure or accumulation
In the first type, the extremely large volume bar on the right side is very typical: huge volume, but the K-line does not show a big bearish candle. This is often mistaken as "about to crash," but it actually looks more like a shakeout.
The second type: large bars + small volume
Long bodies, but volume does not keep up.
Rising big bullish candle with shrinking volume indicates insufficient momentum and is prone to pullback.
Falling big bearish candle with shrinking volume indicates weakening selling pressure and is prone to stop falling.
Only a big bullish candle with large volume is a true breakout; only a big bearish candle with large volume is a true sell-off. The selected bullish candle in the middle has decent volume and a sufficiently large body, representing a relatively healthy continuation of the uptrend. So don’t just look at "volume expansion means chase, volume contraction means run."
First look at the size of the bars, then see if the volume is confirming or diverging, and finally observe how the next bar behaves after volume expansion.
Whether it continues or reverses is often decided within the 1-3 bars after the extreme volume.
Analyze the chart yourself; profits and losses are your own responsibility. From 2645 to 2737, the most important thing for ETH today is the intraday upward shift of the center of gravity
As of the time of writing, $ETH is around $2737; the starting price near UTC midnight is about $2645, and the starting range during the Asian session is about $2613. Looking at these three numbers together is more useful than just focusing on the 24-hour price increase: the price is not raised by a single sudden spike, but the trading center of gravity has been gradually pushed upward throughout the day.
The upward shift of the center of gravity indicates that early buying temporarily dominates, but this is still different from a trend reversal. If subsequent trading continues to revolve above 2700, buyers who bought at the low today will not rush to cash out, and the market will slowly raise the cost zone; if the price falls back below 2645, it indicates a lack of sustained support at the high level.
Here, we also need to guard against a psychological trap: chasing the perfect entry after seeing the average price move up. Strong markets rarely offer everyone the same comfortable price; waiting for a deep pullback may cause you to miss out, while chasing too aggressively can lead to volatility losses. A better approach is to first determine the invalidation point, then decide the position size, rather than letting the position size force you to believe in the market.
The positive signal $ETH gives today is not "immediately reaching 3000," but that the market is willing to raise bids again after the rate hike. As long as the trading center of gravity is not quickly pushed back, the rebound has a foundation to continue developing. Bulls have never been about slogans, but about the gradually rising real cost.Ethereum violently surged past $2700: This is not a direct trend reversal, but a retaliatory rebound driven by chip repair, capital rotation, and short squeeze resonance.
Many traders saw ETH break through $2700 in one go and their first reaction was: the Ethereum bear market is over, institutions are massively bottom-fishing, and the ETH/BTC ratio is about to completely reverse.
But the vast majority only see a beautiful big bullish candle and cannot distinguish which are genuine fundamental buy orders and which are impulse pushes caused by leverage liquidations. This surge to $2700 was not triggered by a single positive factor; it was the result of marginal improvements in macro expectations, spot ETF capital inflows, on-chain supply contraction, capital rotation after the market stabilized, combined with multiple forces from contract shorts being squeezed in a chain reaction.
Unlike Bitcoin, Ethereum is a high-beta blue chip with rebound elasticity far greater than BTC; but precisely because of this high elasticity, the rise includes a large amount of leveraged capital, so the authenticity of the market needs to be discerned by breaking down the underlying signals. $BTC $ETH $SOL #加密总市值重返2.8万亿美元 #ZEC巨鲸3.8万枚空单平仓，亏损超3500万美元 #特朗普将会晤海湾六国，伊朗局势迎关键节点 First, the biggest winner is, of course, Strategy. Based on 85,004 BTC, Saylor's company holds about 845,100 BTC, with a market value rising to 71.83 billion, representing an unrealized gain of 8.11 billion over the holding cost of about 63.73 billion, with a book return of about 12.7%. Just two months ago (in July), BTC was still around 68,000, and Strategy was forced to sell 32 BTC to pay preferred dividends. MSTR's stock price plunged 6%, and the market was in mourning. Two months later, the same company went from "forced to sell" to "holding 8.1 billion unrealized profits." After Saylor hinted at "a bit more orange" on social media last Friday, the market was already betting on Strategy to resume coin purchases. If BTC continues to climb to 87,500 (the price at the beginning of the year), Strategy's floating gains will expand to over 10 billion. Second, on-chain whales are also harvesting wildly. According to Lookonchain monitoring, "Maji Big Brother" made a profit of 7.15 million in the past 24 hours, with the account value rebounding above 10 million. Current long positions include: 30,950 ETH (84.79 million), 279 BTC (23.72 million), and 89,000 HYPE (8.48 million). On the other hand, short institution Abraxas Capital is around 7.04 The situation in Iran is no longer about "whether a war will break out," but whether negotiations will succeed or fail. This is a two-way powder keg for oil prices, but the pricing logic for Bitcoin is not exactly the same.
Trump will meet with the leaders or foreign ministers of the six Gulf countries during the UN General Assembly on September 22 to discuss the follow-up to the Iran war and post-war strategy. The U.S. has not ruled out two paths: military escalation or restarting negotiations; Iran has already conveyed ceasefire conditions through Qatar, awaiting an official response from the U.S.
CL WTI crude oil and BZ Brent crude oil are likely to experience intense volatility around the key date of September 22, not necessarily a one-sided surge. Multiple geopolitical warnings over the past two years have exhausted market sentiment. What truly determines the direction of oil prices is whether negotiations achieve substantial progress, not the meetings themselves.
In contrast, the old perception was that geopolitical tensions would drive safe-haven buying into $BTC. But recent market behavior repeatedly confirms: Bitcoin leans more toward a risk asset and does not share gold’s traditional safe-haven characteristics. The liquidity environment and interest rate expectations are the core variables driving BTC’s market.
#MacroMarket #GeopoliticalTrading
⚠️Market views only, not investment advice
#加密总市值重返2.8万亿美元 Behind Tonight's BTC surge to $85,000, a hidden geopolitical thread overlooked by the crypto community is rapidly tightening. First, the Iranian presidential office officially announced today (September 21): Pezeshiziyan will depart for New York tomorrow (22nd) to attend the United Nations General Assembly and is expected to deliver a speech at the General Assembly on the 23rd. Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Minister Alagazi has already departed, making a brief stop in Doha to coordinate with Qatar. This means that on Wednesday (the 23rd), both the Iranian president and Trump will be in New York — and Trump has publicly stated he is "willing to meet with Pezeshiziyan." This is the closest the two leaders have come to a "face-to-face" meeting since the U.S.-Iran war began on February 28. Second, oil prices are trading ahead of schedule for a "diplomatic breakthrough." Brent crude continued to fall today, dropping to around 97.5 (-1.5%), while WTI fell below 94, marking its fourth consecutive trading day of decline and the longest losing streak in three months. Reuters' analysis points out that Saudi Arabia is accelerating repairs to its east-west pipeline capacity, with exports via the Strait of Hormuz in the first 20 days of September recovering to 4 million barrels per day (the lowest since 2013 when August dropped to 2.4 million barrels per day). JPMorgan data shows that over the past 10 days, total Middle Eastern oil flows averaged 17.1 million barrels per day, only 6.1 million barrels below the 2025 average—"Saudi Arabia's turnaround to Hormuz capacity recovery is faster than expected." Third, transmission to BTJust submitted my question. Cross-chain is easy to market as “one swap,” but the part people actually worry about is what happens when the route breaks, liquidity disappears, or settlement on one chain finishes and the other doesn’t. That’s the stuff I want the team to walk through live not just the happy path.
Also staying until the end for the secret word. Sept 23. $BTC's overall outlook during today's daytime session leans bearish, but as previously mentioned, once there is a strong volume breakout above the 82200‑82800 range, the upper target to watch is 84000‑84500.
After the volume breakout was confirmed, a live position was entered long at 83500, targeting 84500. The market moved up as expected, successfully taking profit and exiting, capturing a 1000-point gain.
The biggest mistake in trading is to stubbornly hold onto preconceived notions and fight the market. Don't be constrained by prior bearish views. Predictions are only references; when the market shows clear signals, you must be flexible and adjust your thinking.
The market won't always follow our expectations; clinging to old ideas will only cause missed opportunities. Being able to adjust strategies promptly according to market changes and not being stubborn is key to seizing fleeting chances.
Admitting mistakes and adapting doesn't mean denying your previous judgments but respecting the current real market trend. This is also the key to surviving continuously in the market.10u Opening Position Week 1

First, the data exploded to the point where expectations need to be recalibrated. BTC hit a peak of 85,300 tonight, with a 24-hour increase of 5.56%, marking an absolute high since the end of January. In 24 hours, nearly 750 million were liquidated across the internet, with 650 million in short positions—the largest short wash since September 18. CoinDesk's headline read: "Bitcoin hits 85,000 as short liquidations hit $300 million in an hour." Strategy rose 6.7% in pre-market trading, Coinbase rose 4.7%, MARA Holdings rose 5%—the entire crypto concept stock was already igniting even before the US market opened. Second, Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan said today on CNBC's "European Finance Morning" that might define 2026: "The winter is truly over, and now is the springtime for crypto. I believe this will be the strongest and longest-lasting bull market in crypto history." "This is not retail investors shouting — this is the institutional leaders managing tens of billions of dollars in crypto assets publicly announcing a cycle turning point in mainstream media. He also specifically mentioned a neglected capital flow: investors are pulling money out of AI stocks and redirecting them inward
