ASP surged, but I advise you not to get carried away; going with the trend is the real truth
Just checked ASP, it skyrocketed 87% in 24 hours, shooting straight from 0.009 to 0.018. Many brothers might be tempted to rush in, but I urge you to stay calm.
Look at the daily chart: down 27% over 90 days, down 33% over 180 days, the overall trend is clearly downward. Today's big bullish candle is, in the eyes of trend traders, a typical "counter-trend rebound." The biggest taboo in trading is going against the trend; a sharp rise in a downtrend is often bait used by manipulative whales to lure bag holders.
With a trading volume of 970,000 U and such a light market cap, pumping and dumping can happen in an instant.
Listen to the ancestors: "Going with the trend is light and smooth, going against the trend is chaotic." If you don't have the skill, don't take on the delicate task; just watch quietly, control your hands and don't FOMO, and you've already beaten 80% of people.
Did you chase this ASP wave? As for me, I'm watching empty-handed, wishing the guys on board great wealth!

#美联储10月再加息概率破55% Jensen Huang said the probability of AI destroying the world is zero
Jensen Huang once again poured cold water on AI.
This time, he talked about the destruction of the world.
His exact words were:
Before 2030, the possibility of AI destroying the world is zero.
The premise of this statement is:
He is talking about destruction, not unemployment.
Many people confuse these two issues as one.
In plain language:
He is betting on the timeline, not safety.
Between acceleration and braking, he chose acceleration.
It's not hard to guess the motive of someone selling computing power saying this.
But the timeline itself, no one can prove.
The real problem is not in 2030.
Before then, who will pay the price for this claim.
#AI降速争议未退，算力投入继续加码 $HYPE The market doesn't owe us another green candle.
BTC just had a powerful recovery from the mid-$70Ks to above $82K.
Now we're seeing some cooling.
This is where FOMO becomes dangerous.
I don't need to catch every move.
I need to know:
Where is support?
Where is invalidation?
Where is liquidity?
What confirms my setup?
If those answers aren't clear, waiting is still a position. #CryptoRecoveryBroadens #ZECPositionsDiverge #CryptoTaxAndBTCReserve $STX This trade doesn't have any dramatic story; it's just patiently waiting it out.
Opened a 20x long position at 0.2493, now the mark price is 0.3251, with an unrealized profit of +608.10%. I observed for several days before entering; the price was oscillating repeatedly at a low level, neither going up nor down, but the volume was quietly increasing — this wasn't dead water, it was building up for a big move. I didn't rush to go all in but gradually entered near the support level in batches.
The hardest test during holding isn't whether the direction is right, but whether you can resist the urge to make unnecessary moves. Several times I felt itchy to add more, but I held myself back. The least valuable thing in contracts is "I think it can still go up," the most valuable is "hold as long as the signal isn't broken."
Now the profit is quite considerable; I take the big chunk off the table first and move the stop loss above the cost. If it continues to rise, I'll join in for another sip; if it really reverses, I won't regret it.
Don't always think about bottom-fishing at the lowest or escaping at the highest; just make the visible profit, that's enough. When the next signal comes out, I'll shout it immediately. $OFC $AKE #BTC维持8万美元，加密市场修复扩散 $VVV This rocket wave, I didn't chase it at the launch pad, but got into the cockpit before ignition.
Opened a 20x long position at 17.097, now the mark price is 28.739, floating profit +1,361.87%. The market wasn't that attractive the day I entered—there was resistance from trapped positions above, but the support below quietly thickened, and every drop was steadily caught. Others saw hesitation; I saw the main force quietly accumulating.
The position hasn't been smooth sailing; there were several shakeouts along the way, and profits retraced significantly. But I didn't move because the structure wasn't broken, so the trend remained. The real big gains only come when you can hold your seat.
I've already taken profits in batches, pocketing the bulk, and pushed the stop loss above cost for the remaining small position. If it keeps flying, I still have a share; if it turns down, I won't give back a single bit.
The market isn't short of opportunities; what's lacking is whether you dare to get on board when the signal appears and whether you can hold steady once on. I'll call out the next more comfortable position in advance. $AKE $OFC #BTC维持8万美元，加密市场修复扩散 On September 20, the crypto market broadly declined but quickly rebounded. What happened?
First, let's check the specific market conditions and news on September 20. The weekend's candlestick needs to be re-examined for exact trigger points and rebound rhythm. On Sunday, September 20, the crypto market indeed first fell broadly then quickly recovered. The core reason was not regulatory issues or interest rate hikes causing new crashes, but rather a sudden escalation of Middle East geopolitical risks during the weekend's thin liquidity, combined with technical resistance near $82,000.
What actually happened that day
Bitcoin touched about $81,900–$82,000 on Saturday, then fell back to around $80,100–$80,200 during Asian and evening sessions on Sunday, a daily drop of about 1%–1.5%. Ethereum dropped over 2%, Solana and others fell more than 3%, and high-volatility coins like ZEC and XMR dropped even more. Total market cap briefly shrank by about 4%, with roughly 100,000 liquidations totaling about $240 million in 24 hours. Prices did not break key levels afterward, with daily closes mostly around $80,900–$81,300, recovering most of the day's losses.
Trigger for the drop: Houthis attack Riyadh, oil market risk premium rises
The direct catalyst was the Houthi forces in Yemen claiming missile and drone attacks on sensitive targets in Saudi Arabia's capital Riyadh and Aramco facilities at the Red Sea port of Yanbu on September 19–20. Saudi Arabia said it intercepted ballistic missiles aimed at Riyadh and foiled attacks on other cities; thick smoke appeared near King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, and rare air defense alerts were issued during this round of conflict. The U.S. State Department warned the conflict could escalate rapidly, while Iran's parliament speaker reiterated that the Strait of Hormuz would remain closed until conditions are met. Traditional markets were closed over the weekend, making crypto the only major asset class available for immediate risk-hedging trades. Oil price expectations rose, risk appetite shrank, and prices were amplified.
Technically, $82,000 was a repeated resistance level in September. Short-term profit-taking, TD sell signals, and geopolitical news combined to create a typical weekend pullback.
Why the quick rebound?
First, Saudi official statements emphasized "successful interception, no confirmed major damage," quickly dialing down worst-case fears of the capital being breached or oil facilities crippled.
Second, the $80,000 round number and prior support structures held, preventing cascading liquidations.
Third, bigger negative factors had already been priced in earlier this week: on the 15th, the Senate failed to advance the CLARITY Act (49–50); on the 16th, the Fed raised rates by 25 basis points to 3.75%–4% for the first time in three years, pushing Bitcoin down to about $75,000; on the 18th (Friday), short covering combined with spot Bitcoin ETF inflows (about $433 million in one day) drove prices up over 5%. The market was already trading on the "negative news priced in, regulatory shift toward SEC tokenized stock innovation exemptions" narrative. Sunday's drop felt more like a weekend sentiment shock than a trend reversal.
Outlook
This move was a "geopolitical pulse + resistance level realization," not a new systemic crash. The key things to watch are: whether Middle East conflict escalates from "intercepted attacks" to oil transport disruption or direct U.S. military involvement; whether Monday's U.S. stock and oil market opens confirm the weekend's risk premium; and whether spot ETFs continue net inflows. $80,000 is the short-term defense line, $82,000 remains the iron ceiling above. Holding the former and digesting geopolitical noise keeps last week's "double negative without breaking key levels" structure intact. Failure to break above $82,000 combined with rising oil prices and U.S. Treasury yields would lead to a more troublesome pullback.
$BTC $ETH $OKB 上周最被低估的变量不是美联储，不是 CLARITY 法案，而是油价。 第一，数据链条很清楚。9 月 9 日布伦特原油冲高 113.48（IEA 月报数据），9 月 16 日加息当天仍在107 附近，9 月 18 日特朗普放话"战事很快结束"后跌破 100，WTI 跌破96。三天跌了超过 10%。与此同时，BTC 从 76,400 涨到81,944，三天涨了 7.3%。两者的负相关性在这三天里达到了 -0.89——几乎是完美的镜像。 第二，为什么油价和 BTC 如此高度负相关？传导链有四步：油价上涨 → 汽油和柴油价格飙升 → CPI 和 PCE 通胀数据走高 → 美联储被迫维持甚至加码紧缩 → 美元走强+美债收益率上升 → 风险资产（包括 BTC）承压。反过来，油价下跌 → 通胀预期降温 → 加息压力缓解 → 美元走弱 → 风险资产反弹。9 月 18 日晚上这三件事同时发生不是巧合：费城半导体指数涨 2.78%、BTC 冲上 81,000、布油跌破100——它们被同一条因果链串联。 第三，关键问题是：油价能跌多少？摩根大通的 Kaneva 团队本周承认"越来越难以预测"，但他们给出了一The core logic behind UNI's current rally is not about new concept speculation, but the market's game around the possibility of integrating AMM automatic market-making mechanisms with U.S. stock infrastructure.
The SEC's innovation exemption allows compliant platforms to use on-chain automated market-making pools to trade tokenized U.S. stocks. Uniswap v4's permissioned pool feature perfectly matches this demand, and capital is repricing UNI as the key on-chain gateway connecting to U.S. stocks.
In the past, DeFi circulated only within the crypto asset circle, but now regulation has opened the huge U.S. stock market door for the first time. However, there is a huge misconception here: commercialization of the protocol does not mean the token can capture profits. Core issues such as fee ownership, whether UNI is a necessary access condition, and liquidity sources remain unresolved by the exemption policy.
In the long run, tokenized stocks are expected to transform the traditional closed settlement model of U.S. stocks and unlock the potential of programmable assets. But the market tends to focus only on the "stocks on-chain" story, ignoring that this solution comes with strict regulation, quotas, and access thresholds.
UNI's market has narrative support, but its value capture ability must be verified in the future. Otherwise, even if the technology lands on Wall Street, token holders can only watch the feast from the sidelines.一个链上指标刚刚闪了绿灯，但大多数人还没注意到。 第一，比特币的已实现市值（Realized Cap）在 8 月正式转正，结束了长达 87 天的连续下降趋势。这意味着约 $93.6 亿的新资金以高于此前链上成本的价格买入了 BTC。已实现市值的算法是给每一枚 BTC 按其最后一次链上移动时的价格估值——当这个指标上升时，说明"新钱"正在以更高的价格接盘，而不是"旧钱"在低价割肉。过去三轮熊市底部（2018 年 12 月、2020 年 3 月、2022 年 11 月），已实现市值从下降转为上升都是牛市启动的先行信号。 第二，更值得注意的是卖方风险的压缩。Sell-side Risk Ratio（卖方风险比率）已降至年度低点——这个指标衡量的是已实现利润和亏损相对于已实现市值的比例。当这个比率压缩时，意味着市场上"急着卖"的人在减少，波动率在降低，市场正在进入一个低波动均衡状态。历史上，这种压缩通常出现在大行情启动之前——2020 年 10 月（BTC 从 11,000 涨到64,000 之前）和 2023 年 10 月（从 26,000 涨到73,000 之前）都出现过类似形态。 第三，$ENA current price 0.2215, 24h +9.38%, trading volume 105.3M USDT, MA5=0.2199 above MA20=0.20801, RSI=63.6, MACD histogram +0.0007552 maintaining bullish, Bollinger upper band 0.229284. During the same period, $EPIC rose 21.56% but RSI has reached 70.4, trading volume only 8.6M, overbought and liquidity is thin; $BANK fell 14.62%, MA5 crossed below MA20, MACD turned bearish, indicating sector weakness. Horizontally, $ENA's increase is moderate but trading volume is more than 12 times that of $EPIC, RSI has not entered the overbought zone, representing a "solid volume, sentiment not overheated" consolidation pattern, with better cost performance than the two extremes.
The direction is bullish. Entry reference 0.2160～0.2200, which is the pullback near the MA5 support zone, structure remains intact as long as MA20 is not broken; take profit 1 at 0.2293, corresponding to the Bollinger upper band resistance; take profit 2 at 0.2380, an extended target for expanded volatility. Stop loss set at 0.2060, exit if MA20 is broken. Risk point: Fear and Greed Index at 71 in the greed zone, funding rate +0.0050% indicates slightly crowded longs, chasing highs requires waiting for a pullback, not advisable to buy above 0.229.$LAB This trade, I've fallen into more traps than the profits from this wave.
The average entry price was 0.07531, the current mark price is 0.05337, with an unrealized profit of +291.32%. In the early days, I always liked to bottom-fish prematurely during downtrends, thinking that after a big drop there should be a rebound, but I got trapped every time. Later I realized that in a weak market, a rebound is not the bottom; breaking support is the start of a trend.
For this trade, I didn't rush in. I waited until the price repeatedly tested the resistance and failed, then effectively broke the support before opening a short position with 10x leverage but only a light position. Even when facing small pullbacks during holding, I didn't close or add positions recklessly, just focused on whether the structure was deteriorating.
Now I've taken profits on most of the position, holding the rest with cost protection. The most useless thing in trading is "feeling," the most reliable is the signals from the market. Follow them, don't fight it, and profits will naturally come. $OFC $AKE #BTC维持8万美元，加密市场修复扩散 ETH burn reduction does not mean the economic model has failed
After L2 scaling and mainnet fee reductions, ETH burn volume may decrease, which could lead the market to revisit discussions about "infinite issuance." This view overlooks that Ethereum's issuance and burning are inherently dynamically balanced, rather than promising daily deflation.
When on-chain congestion is severe, base fee burns increase, and ETH may enter net deflation; when activity is low or capacity expands, burns decrease, and net supply may slightly grow. The purpose of this mechanism is to let block space demand influence supply, rather than artificially maintaining a perpetually declining number.
What truly needs caution is when supply growth is accompanied by a decline in usage demand. If L2, stablecoins, DeFi, and institutional products continue to expand, short-term net issuance may not necessarily harm value; but if network activity and asset demand shrink together, inflation becomes a more serious issue.
I will not decide ETH's bullish or bearish stance based on a single day's burn leaderboard. The supply side must be observed together with staking rates, transaction demand, ETF holdings, and on-chain collateral. A healthy economic model does not create scarcity every day but maintains a long-term balance between security budget, user costs, and asset scarcity.I think today's news shouldn't be seen as just a positive for Samsung itself. According to the news, Samsung is expected to significantly expand HBM4 and HBM4E production capacity next year, and the proportion of high-end HBM in the overall product mix will continue to rise. There's also a detail: even the supporting glass substrate cleaning process has Samsung pulling demand forward for next year.

However, the price reactions are completely different, indicating that funds are being reallocated. $BTC: Exchange balances have dropped to multi-year lows, but ETF inflows are almost zero, with institutions on the sidelines. The price holding steady at 80,000 indicates that selling pressure mainly comes from short-term traders, while long-term holders have not exited. $ETH: Exchange balances arTwitter X: Langdingsa, classmate Xiao Zhou, the secret to long-term success in trading: 1 - Heavily hold against the trend and win 9 times; if you can't hold through once, you lose everything. No matter how good the opportunity is, never go all in at once.
Even if you feel very confident, never go full position. One big loss means you have to double up later to break even, and impulsiveness turns you into a spectator.
2 - Don't just look at the win rate, that's about endurance; also consider the profit-loss ratio.
Winning many times doesn't mean you're strong. Frequently making small profits but occasionally suffering big losses will still wipe you out; even if you win less often, but one big profit covers several losses, that's a good opportunity.
3 - Take bigger positions when the opportunity is good; if unsure, play less or not at all.
If you understand and the odds are good, take a heavier position; if it's vague and unclear, watch more and trade less.WAY Observation｜ZEC surged twice late at night, what exactly is going on?
Last night, ZEC first surged quickly, then fell back to around $1,432, unexpectedly the low was bought back, and it is currently consolidating again near $1,500.
This movement can be simply understood as:
The first surge was likely driven by breakout buying plus short covering; the subsequent pullback was clearing out high-level chasing and profit-taking. The second rally indicates temporary support around $1,430–$1,450, and new short positions might again fuel the move.
However, we cannot yet declare "the next wave has started."
Because although the price returned to a high level, it has not yet broken the previous high of $1,584–$1,600. At this stage, it looks more like a shift of control between bulls and bears: bulls fear chasing at the peak, bears fear being squeezed again.
Next, I am watching three scenarios:
🟢 Holding above $1,520 and then breaking through $1,584–$1,600 to confirm bullish continuation.
🟡 Oscillating between $1,450–$1,580, with no chasing longs or topping shorts in the middle of the range.
🔴 Breaking below $1,430–$1,450, failing to rebound above, watch $1,380–$1,400.
One more key point: if price rises but open interest (OI) falls, it might still be short covering; if both price and OI increase together, the breakout is more likely to have follow-through.
Are you still holding short positions waiting for a pullback to enter, or have you already exited to observe?
The above is market observation and does not constitute investment advice.
#ZEC #OI #FundingRate #OKXThe most dangerous position has appeared on the chessboard: the pawn chain is advancing from the short end, but the king's wing is tightly locked by the long end. The opponent is not giving check, yet every move compresses my space of activity. The 25 basis point rate hike on September 16 seemed like a simple exchange, but in fact, it secretly shifted the entire focus of the game from the short end to the long end. After the 10-year yield fell back to 4.95, it was pushed back near 5, and the 30-year yield simply stood above 5—this is not volatility, this is the opponent sinking the rook onto my second rank.
The truly fatal piece is never the pawn pinned on the short end. The 2-year yield steady at 4.73 indicates that the tactical sequence of the midgame has been calculated: there are few remaining moves in the rate hike cycle, and the market is willing to price certainty for the short end. But the long end refuses to cooperate; the 30-year yield standing above 5 is a structural capital call, a compensation demanded by inflation risk and term premium in the endgame. Attributing the long end to growth, computing power infrastructure, and geopolitical chess without discussing the fiscal gap is deliberately sacrificing a knight to open the center line. Behind the sacrifice is always a combination, and the landing point of the combination is always the square with the thinnest liquidity.
My judgment is simple: the short end is the endgame, the long end is the king's kill. When the 2-year yield is stable and the 10- and 30-year yields hold the 5 line, the baseline of the entire game is raised as a whole. The valuation floor of all high-volatility assets will rise accordingly because the discount anchor is pinned at a higher position. This is equivalent to the opponent building a high wall in front of my position, and every attack I make costs more material.
Look at the high-beta piece—the knight wandering on the flank. It previously relied on liquidity-driven diagonal leaps; once the short end gives certainty, it thinks it can continue to maneuver as before. But the long-end wall does not retreat, and every leap it makes has its profits eaten by the term premium. A true grandmaster will not greedily seek a neat exchange here but will first judge: is this wall a temporary blockade or a pawn permanently promoted in the endgame? If the answer is the latter, then this high-beta piece must be downgraded from a main attacking arrow to a weak piece used for containment.
A deeper strategy lies in timing. Short-end stability means the opponent's tactics are revealed, while the high long end means there are strategic reserves yet to be unleashed. When the game reaches this form, the greatest danger is not being checked but being lured into a seemingly counterattackable midgame, only to find the opponent has already calculated the 20th move of the endgame: the center is locked, the rooks cannot connect, and the pawn structure is weakened. The only correct move then is to accept material loss and shrink the defense to squares that can be held.
Liquidity is the space on the chessboard. The side whose space is compressed, no matter how strong the pieces, can only make forced moves. The 5 line on the long end is that opponent who gives no space. #longyields5%newnormalWith this $ETH rise, I'm actually less panicked.
When ETH pulls up, the group chat gets lively again.
But I hold short positions calmly because I know: until the daily chart breaks out of the big box, this looks more like "turning inside the box" rather than "taking off in a trend."
Look at the daily chart—it’s pressed by the upper boundary, supported by the lower boundary, and oscillating around the middle axis. Bulls fear chasing at the box top and being left hanging; bears fear crashing to the box bottom and getting caught flying. No one dares to fully load their positions because the real winners aren’t those guessing breakouts, but those defending the boundaries.
The logic is simple:
If the big box isn’t broken, don’t talk about faith, talk about position.
Near the upper edge, no crazy surge or volume increase, testing shorts makes sense;
Pulling back to the lower edge, no break or acceleration, low longs have confidence.
That grinding range in the middle is the worst time to "fear missing out"—once you chase, you get shaken out; once you panic, you cut at the turning point.
Both bulls and bears should stay clear-headed:
Longs shouldn’t mistake a rebound for a main rise; shorts shouldn’t treat the box top as an iron ceiling.
If ETH is really strong, it will first increase volume to stand above the box top and pull back without breaking it before talking about being "stronger than $BTC";
If ETH is really weak, its rebounds will get lower and the box bottom will get weaker each time.
So I’m not getting carried away with this rise.
If the box isn’t broken, I do "business within the boundaries";
If the box breaks, I follow the "trend within the direction."
The most costly market emotion is thinking it will always rise when it’s going up, and always fall when it’s going down.
And the daily box tells you: most of the time, the market is just waiting
$ZEC short
#Strategy与BitMine同步增持 The night the east-west oil pipeline in the Strait of Hormuz was structurally cracked open, I was staring at the crude oil crack spread chart. My first reaction was not to stop loss, but rather— the load-bearing wall was compromised. This pipeline is the seismic core tube for the entire Middle East crude oil export. Once it develops a plastic hinge, the feedstock ratios for those old European refineries must be completely rearranged. The supply rhythm of the October long-term contracts is a locked construction schedule with no room for change orders.
Now Iran has submitted three ceasefire terms through Doha: full ceasefire, unfreezing funds, and lifting the maritime blockade. These three are not negotiation conditions; they are a structural calculation report pending review. The first addresses the upper load—conflict cessation, so the risk premium can be unloaded; the second concerns cash flow, equivalent to reinforcing the foundation of the load-bearing components; the third is the most critical, as the maritime blockade is like blocking the building’s fire evacuation routes, lifting it is necessary to restore passage levels. The blueprints have been handed over, but Washington hasn’t even signed a "receipt of blueprints" acknowledgment. Without the supervisor’s stamp, the plan is just scrap paper on the construction site.
The current risk premiums on Brent and WTI are essentially temporary supports. If an agreement is reached, these supports will be removed, oil prices will fall, bond yields and risk asset valuations will realign their settlement joints; if talks fail, the temporary support becomes a permanent load, oil prices remain high, yields are capped, and the overall stiffness of risk assets passively decreases. This is not a directional judgment, but a mechanical path.
Now look at $xIBM, this US stock token. In this structure, it acts as a cantilevered component at the far end, with no direct force transmission path to the Persian Gulf pipeline, but the global stiffness matrix is coupled. Uncontrolled oil prices push inflation expectations higher, raising discount rates for long-duration assets, amplifying deflection at the cantilevered end. Tokenized equity only changes the registration and clearing construction process, not the cross-section or reinforcement of the underlying beam. The traded asset is the same floor of the same building, just replacing paper as-built drawings with on-chain hashes.
What truly determines the lifespan of this project has never been facade decorations like ceasefire statements. Statements are renderings; signatures are construction drawings; structural safety depends on whether the invisible load transfer mechanism between Iran and Washington can close. Now all three parties hold their own blueprints, the grid lines don’t align, elevations aren’t unified, and no one dares to pour concrete.
Geopolitics is never a decorative project; it is the foundation. When the foundation settles unevenly, the first to crack is always the most glamorous curtain wall. #iranceasefireterms ZEC surged to around 1600 and then entered a high-level consolidation range, with market long and short positions quietly diverging.
There is an interesting whale address on-chain: holding 38,000 ZEC short positions with unrealized losses exceeding $33 million, but at the same time it also holds 202,000 spot ZEC, valued at about $320 million. This short position is not simply a bearish bet on a price drop; essentially, it is a spot hedge. Holding spot while opening shorts is just to hedge against price volatility risk, not a bet on a one-way decline.
Among the shorts, some whales have already capitulated. Another whale directly closed short positions worth $24.43 million, taking a one-time loss of $10.68 million and exiting. The short side has undergone a round of cleansing. On the other hand, the longs have some capital that laid out 9,810 ZEC long positions as early as $517, currently with unrealized profits close to $10 million, showing very substantial early long profits.
The key observation point going forward: will these highly profitable longs take profits and exit en masse? If they cash out in clusters, selling pressure will quickly emerge. Coupled with adjustments in leveraged positions, ZEC, being a highly volatile coin, will commonly experience sharp price spikes up and down.
Chasing prices at the current level has very low cost-effectiveness. Shorts have just been washed out, and long positions are becoming crowded again; high-level consolidation can easily turn into mutual harvesting between longs and shorts.
My view: do not enter the market when sentiment is at its hottest. Wait for a pullback to confirm support, or wait until the current position divergence finishes before deciding the direction. In a high-level consolidation phase, survival is far more important than short-term gains.
What do you think? Will this wave of ZEC continue to break upwards, or will it first consolidate and pull back?

The U.S. accuses BitBank of being controlled by Iranian financier Babak Zanjani, who from June to July this year helped the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard transfer hundreds of millions of dollars worth of Bitcoin. The sanctions are not limited to the platform; even the software developer Pishtaz Simorgh and executives of the parent company Dot One have been swept up. U.S. Treasury Secretary Yellen's message is clear: don't think you can use cryptocurrency to finance Iran and escape OFAC's jurisdiction.
More intriguingly, the "Hormuz Safe" organization, which sells security for passage through the Strait of Hormuz, also funneled payments through BitBank and was sanctioned in July. In this grand Middle East chess game, crypto assets have clearly become a substantive tool in financial warfare.
This matter has a significant impact on the crypto community. First, regulatory enforcement is becoming more precise. Previously targeting exchanges, now even underlying developers and executives are not spared; the compliance pressure will only tighten further. Second, geopolitical risks are heating up. When the Middle East situation intensifies, safe-haven funds withdraw from risk assets, adding another layer of macro uncertainty. Third, labels involving terrorism and money laundering will heighten traditional institutions' concerns about the crypto industry, leading to a short-term bearish sentiment. #BTC维持8万美元，加密市场修复扩散 #SEC代币化股票创新豁免落地，UNI盘中涨超21% 醒来看到浮盈13万U，但我盯的却是资金费率 这波拉升，到底是真强势，还是空头被架在火上烤？ $AKE从我建仓的0.053一路被推到0.0874，4小时一根大阳线直接扫过0.09，24小时涨32%。账户数字很漂亮，可我第一反应不是开心，是去翻持仓量和资金费率。因为这种斜率，往往不是现货买出来的，是衍生品在互相挤压。 表面热闹在哪？三个标的都在涨，山寨季好像回来了。但底层结构不太一样： - $AKE是主动推土机，价格还在高位硬撑，说明有资金愿意在这个位置接。 - $ONE冲到0.004666又回落，24小时还有43%，但6小时级别已经开始走弱，属于冲高后的高位换手。 - $ZEC从1598掉到1448，日线见顶回落，可30天仍有97%的涨幅，它更像这轮里最先被兑现的那一个。 我更在意的是节奏差。$ZEC先调整，$ONE在高位晃，$AKE还在硬顶。如果这是同一批资金在做，那顺序通常是先跑最贵的，再跑最弱的，最后才轮到情绪最热的那一个。也就是说，$AKE现在的强，可能是还没轮到它被兑现，而不是它真的能一直独立走。 偏多的逻辑也成立：只要$AKE不跌破0.08，资金费不极端，持仓不崩，它就是这轮Bitcoin pushed above $80K after trading near $76K earlier in the week.

1. Price signal: Firmly hold the 0.9U support, break through the 1.1U short-term resistance with volume to officially start the main rise; grinding between 0.85-0.95 is just the accumulation phase.
2. Capital signal: AR begins high-volume pullback, capital rotation in the storage sector; large FIL withdrawals from exchanges increase, and staking lock-up volume continues to rise.
3. Market prerequisite: BTC must not experience a deep correction. The foundation of the altcoin season is a stable market; if the market collapses, even the best sector logic fails, and FIL won't independently launch a major rally.
⚠️ Two major bearish pressures slowing FIL's rally
1. Miner sell pressure: As long as the price rebounds, miners will keep selling FIL to cash out, continuously suppressing upward momentum, making it hard to see a single-day big bullish candle like AR.
2. Old narrative: FIL is a veteran project, causing market fatigue; unlike AR's AI permanent storage story which feels fresh, speculative funds are unwilling to assign a high valuation.三星这条利好，明天科技股或许会跟着动一下
今天这条消息，我觉得不能只当成三星自己的利好。
消息面上，三星预计明年会明显扩大HBM4、HBM4E产能，高端HBM在整体产品里的占比也会继续往上走
还有个细节，连配套的玻璃载板清洗环节，三星都提前把明年的需求往上拉
这说明它不是突然想多卖一点内存，而是在提前给明年的AI存储需求留位置。
三星电子
明天韩股最直接的还是三星，市场可能先交易HBM4放量预期。
二、SK海力士
三星开始加码，反而会让市场继续看AI存储需求，海力士也可能被顺手带一下。
三、MU、美光
HBM越吃先进产能，普通DRAM供应就可能越紧，AI内存和传统内存都有机会受影响。
四、SNDK
它离HBM远一点，但如果资金开始扩散到存储板块，NAND也可能被顺手摸过去。
再往上就是NVDA
因为HBM最终还是服务AI GPU和服务器。三星、海力士、美光扩的，其实都是AI算力后面的存储。
所以明天我个人会看：
如果三星、海力士动，那就是韩国存储自己的行情。
如果MU、SNDK甚至NVDA也跟着动一下，那科技股或许会有一小段上冲。#ZEC high-level oscillation, long and short positions begin to diverge After ZEC surged near 1600, it started oscillating at a high level, and long and short positions quietly began to diverge.

The capital rotation order in the storage track has always been: AR leads the rally to ignite sector heat, and after the heat spreads, funds flow back to FIL for a supplementary rise.
AR has a smaller market cap, and the AI permanent storage narrative is fresh, so speculative funds prioritize pumping AR to create a profit effect, attracting market attention to the entire storage sector;
FIL has a larger market cap, and the positive factor is the supply contraction time window on October 15, making it a later-stage supplementary target in the sector, which will not violently surge ahead of AR.
⏱️ FIL's most probable rally time windows
First opportunity: When AR is oscillating at a high level and begins to pull back for consolidation (short-term window)
When AR rises to the resistance level of 4.7-5U, profit-taking is heavy and growth stalls at a high level. A large portion of the capital exiting AR will switch to FIL, which has not yet fully exploded, to speculate on the supply contraction expectation. In other words, AR rests, FIL takes over.
Second main rally window: Late September to October 10 (the most critical countdown rally)
As the market approaches the October 15 node when PL share release ends, the market will continuously ferment the expectation of "75% supply reduction," maximizing the countdown effect. This is FIL's most anticipated rally cycle this round. $AR A-share Queen Zhang Sufen shakes her head after seeing it: CORE with an unclean fundamental is only fit to be a “satellite position”!
⚠️This article only reviews publicly available on-chain information and does not constitute any investment advice
Zhang Sufen, a contrarian bull investor in A-shares, is often called the queen of turnaround in adversity. Her investment iron rules are very clear: for core holdings, fundamentals must be clean, major risks must be visible and quantifiable; any hidden risks that cannot be clearly explained, no matter how hyped the theme, must never be held heavily, at most held in a very small position as a satellite position to speculate on market moves.
Using this standard to evaluate CORE, the answer is clear: the BTCFi narrative is flashy, but the fundamentals have many lingering hidden risks. Under Zhang Sufen’s screening framework, it cannot be a main holding, only suitable for light positions to speculate on hot pulses.
1. Comparing to Zhang Sufen’s stock selection bottom line, CORE repeatedly triggers red flags
Zhang Sufen’s primary principle for turnaround investing: risk takes precedence over return, rejecting information black boxes.
1. Chip side: 69 million ghost chips exist, representing unquantifiable hidden selling pressure
The 8.31 contract vulnerability incident saw tens of millions of tokens transferred out before the hard fork. The hard fork only blocked further excessive minting afterward, but the already leaked ghost chips cannot be rolled back or frozen. The project team has not fully disclosed the hacker address list, nor provided a destruction or recovery plan.
This batch of chips cost nearly zero, and once the market rallies, they could be dumped anytime. Zhang Sufen’s stock picks strongly reject such unknown large chip risks, as the risk is unpredictable and does not meet core holding requirements.
2. Token supply: 81 years of continuous inflation, value realization is far off
CORE’s total supply cap is 2.1 billion tokens, but block reward release spans 81 years, with annual continuous token issuance for node and staking incentives. The original fee burn mechanism was canceled and replaced by token buybacks funded by SatPay business profits to offset dilution.
However, the flagship product SatPay keeps being delayed, and currently the ecosystem fees are minimal, with the buyback plan still only on paper. Without stable cash flow, long-term token supply expansion continuously dilutes holders’ equity.
Zhang Sufen’s turnaround targets require expectations of profit improvement and supply contraction; CORE’s long-term dilution does not meet the core conditions for turnaround.
3. Security and trust: major historical contract vulnerabilities undermine the narrative foundation
The project claims security guaranteed by BTC hashrate, but the 8.31 incident exposed the misconception: hashrate only protects the underlying ledger, not the upper-layer business code. A major security incident involving excessive minting indicates protocol audit and risk control processes have shortcomings.
Zhang Sufen will not heavily hold assets with major historical incidents and damaged trust. Turnaround requires the company’s core foundation to remain intact; CORE’s security trust has left permanent scars.
2. What is a satellite position? (Zhang Sufen’s position management approach)
- Core position (main holding): clean fundamentals, solid logic, controllable risk, held long-term to earn from company growth. CORE does not meet this standard and cannot be a core position.
- Satellite position: small capital, speculating on themes and short-term events. Profits come from emotional premiums, not fundamental value. Position size is very low, with preset take-profit and stop-loss, not held long-term.
In short: it can be used for short-term speculation on BTCFi-driven rebounds, but must never be heavily held expecting a long-term bull turnaround.
3. Common cognitive trap: hot themes ≠ turnaround
Many retail investors mistakenly think: a popular sector is a turnaround opportunity.
Zhang Sufen’s turnaround logic is not just theme speculation. True turnaround requires root problems solved, continuous operational improvement, and hidden risks cleared.
CORE’s three major hard flaws: ghost chip black box, long-term inflation, delayed value capture, none of which have been substantially resolved. It is not a turnaround, just theme hype.
Combining Duan Yongping’s investment philosophy: even if short-term buying makes money, it doesn’t mean the call was right; it may just be bull market luck. Underlying risks remain, and the rise is only an emotional pulse.
4. Practical discipline (referencing Zhang Sufen’s risk control)
1. Never allocate a large proportion of funds as core position, at most a very small satellite position for speculation;
2. Preset strict take-profit and stop-loss, no long-term holding;
3. Continuously track two key verification signals: implementation of ghost chip disposal plan, SatPay launch generating stable buyback funds. Without these, do not increase position.
Final thoughts
A good theme does not equal clean fundamentals.
According to Zhang Sufen’s contrarian stock selection standards, CORE’s historical legacy risks, unknown selling pressure, and long-term inflation cannot be ignored. The bull market can use the BTCFi narrative to rebound, but it only deserves to be a satellite position, not suitable for heavy holding.
💬 Interactive question: If the ghost chip issue is resolved later, can CORE meet Zhang Sufen’s core holding standard for turnaround?
#CORE #CoreDAO #BTCFi #ZhangSufenContrarianStockSelection #TokenEconomicsMany people rush in when they see the top gainer in the 24h increase list, which is a typical misjudgment of relative strength — a large increase does not equal structural strength; it may just be due to a low base or poor liquidity. True strength should be compared horizontally: under the same greedy environment, who has shallower retracements and more solid volume.
$RENDER current price 1.755, 24h +12.50%, trading volume 12.5M USDT, MA5=1.701 has crossed above MA20=1.59035, moving averages in a bullish alignment; compared to $FF's +38.52% in the same period, RENDER's increase is only one-third of that, but FF's RSI has reached 81.7, and the price 0.17564 is directly at the upper Bollinger band 0.170795, indicating overbought exhaustion; while RENDER's RSI=72.2 is high but still running just below the upper Bollinger band at 1.762, MACD histogram +0.02075 steadily expanding, 30 K-line amplitude 14.42%, volatility structure more controllable than FF's 34.13%. Looking at $ADA, 24h only +0.70%, RSI=58.8, amplitude 6.42%, but funding rate as high as +0.0100%, indicating crowded longs but price not moving, a typical stagnation.
Conclusion: Within the same sector, RENDER is the type with "moderate increase, coordinated volume and price, controllable volatility," more sustainable than FF and more resilient than ADA. My old $BTC position around $74K has finally moved back into profit, and now I’m watching whether this rally can extend toward $90K+. Last year taught me one lesson: averaging down endlessly can turn a trade into a long-term trap. This time, I’m focusing more on invalidation levels and confirmation instead of simply holding through everything. $BTC is trading around $80.5K after spending the session above the $80K area. 📈 Short-term structure: • $80K — key support zone • $82K–$83K — immediate rThe market has pushed hard, but I’m not going to assume a pullback simply because prices look stretched. $BTC is hovering around $80.6K after failing to hold the $82K area. The bigger question now is whether $80K remains support or sellers finally force a deeper retracement. I had been watching for weakness much earlier, but BTC kept grinding higher. That’s a reminder that being early on a short can be just as dangerous as being wrong. My biggest takeaway: don’t fight momentum just because you t$BTC $ETH $ZEC The short-term decline has not yet stopped, and it is not easy for the bulls to turn the tide.
This wave of mainstream weakness is not simply a technical correction; the core reason is that funds have been drawn away by thematic sectors. NEAR with AI-Agent continues to grab liquidity, ETH's support has clearly dropped a gear, and BTC and ZEC also lack independent buying pressure. The market signals are very direct: the moving average system continues to press down, Supertrend forms resistance around 2607, and MACD is still below the zero line, indicating insufficient rebound momentum. Even if there is a rally during the session, it looks more like a corrective pause in a downtrend rather than a trend reversal.
At this stage, emotional bottom-fishing is most taboo; before the flying knives stop, reaching out easily leads to injury. First, watch if the 2564 low can hold; if it holds, there is a chance for a consolidation repair, but if it breaks, it may open the next downward space. The AI theme is not fading, and the mainstream is unlikely to regain the initiative in the short term.

What does a 1250% risk weight mean? If banks use their own funds to engage with crypto, it basically means they have to hold 12.5 times the capital for every 1 unit of exposure. Who would do that business?
So the question is, why is the risk weight only 50% for custodied client assets but 1250% for proprietary trading?
And another question, the regulation is only released in Q4 2026 and reported in January 2027, so why the rush now?
The answer is actually simple: it's not about banning, but about locking the risk outside the banking system. Retail investors can do whatever they want with their money, just don't drag the bank's balance sheets down.
For those holding long-term, this is actually a signal—the regulators are defining clear boundaries, not trying to kill this market.
But signals are signals; don't rush to treat this as a positive. Wait until the real N31 report comes out in 2027, then see how much exposure banks really have left.

$BTC remains the center of liquidity in the market; its fluctuations determine whether capital dares to take risks. ETH acts more like a demand-side probe: if selling pressure is quickly absorbed during a pullback and volume significantly expands during a rebound, it indicates buyers are no longer just defending. If ETH/BTC strengthens without relying on BTC to pull it up, the balance will shift from "BTC supporting the market" to "ETH leading the rally."
What you really need to watch is not a single bullish candle, but who is absorbing the sell-off, who is pulling back with low volume, and who is breaking out with high volume. BTC stabilizing the water level gives ETH a chance to prove demand; if ETH shows relative strength first, capital preference might be switching sides.

🔥 Do you trust BTC's confirmation more, or ETH's leading strength? After Blob becomes cheaper, ETH must avoid turning scaling into a subsidy competition.
Blob provides cheaper data space for L2, significantly reducing the cost of publishing data for Rollups. This is good for user experience, but low prices also bring a problem: if supply grows faster than demand in the long term, the fees the mainnet receives from L2 may remain persistently low.
Keeping costs low in the early stages of scaling helps cultivate applications and users; it’s not necessary to rush to sell every unit of space at the highest price. But once L2 activity matures, data demand must genuinely grow to allow the Blob market to form sustainable fee competition.
Therefore, judging whether the Blob approach is successful should not be based solely on how low fees are on a given day, nor just on the quantity of Blob. More importantly, it depends on how much real transaction volume, stablecoin settlements, and long-term users correspond to that data.
ETH’s goal is not to have L2s rely on cheap subsidies forever, but to let low costs foster sufficiently large economic activity. Expanding supply first and then waiting for demand to catch up is a reasonable path; if after many years demand still hasn’t materialized, the value capture issue must be reconsidered.The first request is $AVAX.

Looking at the devices I have, they are all running low-version systems!Research ≠ Buying! Why does smart money only look at CORE's infrastructure but absolutely refuse to buy its token?
⚠️ This article only reviews publicly available on-chain information and does not constitute any investment advice.
Institutions are flocking to research CORE, and the community is buzzing. Many retail investors interpret this as: institutions are optimistic and preparing to build large positions.
But the truth is: institutions are researching BTCFi infrastructure technology, not the CORE token. Understanding infrastructure does not mean they are willing to buy the token.
Smart money clearly distinguishes: underlying technology has research value, but that does not mean the token has investment value.
1. What exactly do institutions want to see when they research?
The purpose of institutions is not to immediately buy tokens and hold positions; there are mainly three demands:
1. Study the Satoshi Plus hybrid consensus technology
Understand this hybrid architecture of BTC hash power + POS validation, evaluate the technical route of the BTCFi sector, and learn about Bitcoin asset staking and BTC native yield implementation. Even if they don't invest in CORE, this technical approach can serve as a reference for institutions researching other BTCFi projects.
2. Explore ecological cooperation opportunities
Assess whether applications can be deployed on the CORE public chain, staking products built, custody services provided, or protocol cooperation established. Institutions can become ecosystem builders or service providers and participate in the ecosystem to earn without buying CORE tokens.
3. Evaluate sector competition windows
Judge the hype cycle of BTCFi, estimate potential market fluctuations and selling pressure scale. This is only an assessment of short-term speculative opportunities, not long-term value allocation.
In short: researching public chain infrastructure is about technology and ecosystem opportunities; buying tokens means taking on chip, inflation, and security risks. These are completely separate matters.
2. Three core reasons: Recognize infrastructure but refuse to buy tokens
1. 69 million ghost chips are a risk black box that institutional funds cannot cross
On 8.31, due to a vulnerability incident, the attacker transferred out 69 million CORE tokens in advance. The hard fork could only block subsequent vulnerabilities but could not roll back historical transactions.
The destination of these zero-cost chips is unknown, with no complete address disclosure or recovery and destruction plan.
Large funds fear hidden selling pressure like this: once institutions push the price up, lurking large holders may sell directly, and liquidity is hard to sustain. Institutions have fiduciary duties and will not heavily hold assets with "potential large-scale selling pressure at any time."
2. Long-term token inflation, value capture realization is far off
CORE has a total supply of 2.1 billion tokens, but the block reward release cycle lasts 81 years, with continuous token issuance.
The original fee burn mechanism was canceled and replaced by relying on SatPay business revenue to repurchase tokens to hedge dilution.
However, the flagship product SatPay has been continuously delayed, and currently, ecosystem fees are minimal; repurchase remains only a paper plan.
Smart money values stable, verifiable cash flow. At this stage, CORE ecosystem revenue is insufficient to offset long-term issuance, and the token is in a long-term dilution state without a reliable value anchor.
3. Historical contract security incidents have shattered institutional trust in underlying security
CORE's biggest selling point is "BTC hash power guarantees security," but the 8.31 reward contract vulnerability proved that Bitcoin hash power can only protect the underlying ledger, not the upper-layer business code.
In institutional risk control systems, a major contract vulnerability causing excessive minting on a public chain is a serious security flaw. Even if the bug is fixed, institutions must assess whether hidden vulnerabilities remain, which significantly raises risk premiums and directly reduces the token's investment appeal.
3. The most fatal misconception among retail investors: equating "researching the sector" with "being optimistic about the token"
Many naturally think: institutions researching a project = optimistic about the token = about to push the price up.
There is a huge gap here:
✅ Infrastructure/technology: BTCFi sector demand is real, CORE's hybrid consensus has exploratory value, and institutions are willing to learn and discuss cooperation;
❌ Token assets: must bear ghost chips, decades of inflation, product delays, and legacy contract security risks.
Ecosystem service providers, node operators, and project teams can make money on this chain; token holders may not necessarily share in the profits.
Applying Duan Yongping's investment logic: even if buying tokens yields short-term profits, it does not mean the logic is correct; it is likely just luck from a bull market narrative.
Institutions can participate in the ecosystem, develop products, and track the sector but will not heavily hold CORE tokens as a long-term base position.
4. Practical insights for retail investors
1. Distinguish information: research notes and project visits are information gathering, not buy signals; only sustained large on-chain capital inflows are real recognition.
2. Separate evaluations: sector opportunities and token investment opportunities are different. Infrastructure innovation does not mean tokens are worth heavy positions.
3. Position discipline: assets with major chip black boxes and long-term inflation are only suitable for very small positions to speculate on pulse trends; strictly prohibit heavy long-term holdings.
Final thoughts
BTCFi infrastructure exploration has value, but token economics and historical legacy risks are a separate exam beyond technology.
Institutions can learn CORE's technology and participate in ecosystem construction but will not pay for ghost chips or long-term inflation.
Research is about infrastructure; buying is about token recognition. Never misinterpret institutional technical research as a signal to build positions.

#CORE #CoreDAO #BTCFi #InstitutionalResearch #TokenEconomicsBTC 81150, 80126 no break I buy, 81951 no chase after break
At posting BTC: 81150
Conclusion:
80126–81150 no break, buy long. Stop loss 79600, target 81951 → 83000.
Only after breaking 81951 look at 85000+, otherwise just high-level consolidation.
If 79600 breaks down, no buy, wait for 78000–78500.
Market situation:
• Pulled from 74967 to 81951, increase of 9.3%, now retracing to 81150, normal high-level digestion
• 24H low 80126 held, bulls still controlling the pace
• 81951 is 4H previous high resistance, failure to reclaim = continuation of consolidation; 7-day/30-day averages positive, trend intact
• Fed meeting expectation disturbance, volume 21.1 billion, thin weekend, no chasing highs
My actions:
• Spot: place limit buy orders between 80126–81150, no market price chase
• Futures: buy long 3x at 80500, exit if breaks 79600; reduce half position on volume breakout at 81951, clear if not breaking 83000
• Chase 2x on breakout of 81951, exit if retraces below 81000
• No trades: chasing long at 81150, bottom fishing on break 79600, shorting without confirmation at 81951
If 79600 breaks, accept loss, no add-on.
