$ZEC No shorting, no shorting, no shorting... My phone keeps vibrating, I know something big is happening.
It just shot up to a high of 1444. I was watching that line on OKX and really felt this thing has gone crazy again and again. A few days ago it was hovering around 1100, and in the blink of an eye it jumped straight to 1444. Shorts probably didn’t even have time to set stop losses.
$ZEC My long position, I already cut half near 1360. Now seeing it rush to 1444, I can’t help but slap my thigh, but more than that, I’m relieved — with a coin like this, taking profits for a while is enough, the rest is for the brave. Floating profit is 67% now~ 1444 is a high point just before a round number resistance. Chasing longs here is gambling with your life; if it pushes up but doesn’t hold, it can drop back below 1400 anytime. Shorts dare not even try, this trend clearly slaps shorts around, whoever shorts gets hit.
My plan is simple: keep the remaining base position with a trailing stop, consider fully exiting if it breaks down.Someone asked me: BTC is now at 76849, is it more bullish or bearish? My answer: slightly bullish, but there is heavy resistance at 77137 above. How to operate? Don't guess the direction, follow the price levels. Light long positions below 76000, stop loss at 75000, target 77000. Reduce positions near 77000 if resistance is met. If there is a volume breakout above 77137, then consider adding to long positions. Losing 200,000U taught me: predictions are useless, execution is what matters. With a small 5000U position, act when the price hits the level, otherwise wait. $BTC $BTC #美联储三年来首次加息25个基点 According to on-chain data from OnchainLens, the wallet 0xf02d...3454c6 just sold 3.4364 million $HYPE spot (~$27.45M) today, while still holding a Short HYPE position worth about $30.23M. Notably: this address has incurred a loss of $5.82M over the past 30 days, raising the total cumulative loss to $6.79M. The fact that it sold spot while maintaining a short position indicates this whale is betting heavily on a downward trend for HYPE, despite continuous losses. Those following $HYPE should pay attention to liquidity fluctuations in the next few sessions as the short orders unfold The Fed has delivered its rate hike, and the dot plot remains hawkish. But while everyone is still watching rates, inflation and Treasury yields, the bigger issue may now be Bitcoin’s own market structure. 1️⃣ ETF demand is no longer an unlimited tailwind The powerful ETF inflows that once drove persistent institutional demand have weakened, with periods of sustained outflows. Institutions are no longer simply buying every dip. Even if macro conditions eventually become more supportive, without 50 million large orders are floating a loss of over 20 million! ZEC short liquidations exceed 90%, so who is buying this big bullish candle?
ZEC's one-sided massive short squeeze has gone crazy. In 24 hours, the entire network's liquidations broke through $57 million, with short liquidations accounting for over 92%. The long-short ratio is crushed at an extremely low 0.39. The largest short position on the network, over $50 million, is floating a loss of more than 25.85 million, stubbornly holding on by injecting massive margin. The coin price is heading straight to $1400 despite deep negative funding rates, and the derivatives market is playing out the cruelest chip burial.
Many think institutions are aggressively buying spot, but most of the buying driving this bullish candle is forced stop-loss by shorts. The rise triggers forced liquidations, passive market buy orders push the price up, which then triggers more short positions at higher levels, creating a mechanical short squeeze meat grinder. This rally, driven by bloodied chips from the opposing side, is extremely fragile. Once shorts are exhausted and buying support disappears, it can fall into a vacuum at any time.
Watching the market myself makes me break out in a cold sweat; I dare not blindly bet. Shorting at the top is like using your body to block a train; the market makers won't stop until they've squeezed every last bit of fuel from the shorts. But chasing longs with overbought indicators above 85 risks hitting a guillotine at any moment. If the short squeeze suddenly dissipates and market makers reverse to dump, longs who caught the high baton will suffer even worse than shorts.
Never gamble on luck in extreme emotions; realized chips are real money. Facing such an extremely distorted long-short battle in ZEC, do you think shorts can still fight back hard, or will market makers continue to squeeze them all the way to the 2000 mark?Middle East Night Telegram｜9/17 22:30
1) Gaza: War-damaged building collapsed, 21 dead (11 children, 6 women), Israeli army shooting still causing deaths, UN urges humanitarian corridor.
2) Houthis × Saudi Arabia: Yanbu Aramco facility + Khamis Mushait base hit by ballistic/missile drones; Saudi Arabia retaliates with 40+ airstrikes/week, 450+ total; Mecca alarms, both sides give conflicting statements.
3) Mandeb Strait: Houthis control Red Sea coast + Hanish Island, sharp decline in commercial shipping, 125,000 displaced in Yemen.
4) Iran front: Qeshm Island shot down US MQ-9 (Iranian claim); Iran “won’t negotiate without conditions met,” US military only provides intelligence/planning to Saudi Arabia.
5) Crude oil: East-West pipeline operating at half capacity for several days, full line expected in six weeks; Saudi Arabia reroutes ships outside Hormuz to supply Asia, Brent falls but risk premium remains. Oman oil once at 132, Persian Gulf spot premium 38.
6) Diplomacy: Saudi Arabia submits “two-week ceasefire” plan via Oman; Houthis demand “comprehensive resolution” with no concessions; Israel-Morocco upgrade embassies, Arab-Israel security/economic lines remain intact.
7) Watch for tomorrow: Whether Yanbu will be hit again / Mecca alarms again or not / East-West pipeline recovery confirmation / Whether Houthis accept ceasefire / Whether Hormuz oil tankers are attacked again. Alarm sounded! Long-term U.S. Treasury yields are firmly nailed at 5%!
Gold and BTC valuations are about to be repriced ⚠️
Oh my, with the Fed's rate hikes landing, everyone was expecting U.S. Treasury yields to fall back,
but the 10-year yield just dipped slightly to 4.95%, then immediately shot back up near 5%, and the 30-year yield is solidly above 5%, refusing to drop!
Washington comes up with reasons, saying the rise in long-term yields is due to a strong economy, AI grabbing funds, and geopolitical disturbances, conveniently ignoring the huge U.S. fiscal deficit and mounting debt.
Here’s the key point: If a 5% U.S. Treasury yield becomes the new normal, the valuation floor for all high-risk assets will be raised. With risk-free returns this high, why would capital take risks to buy BTC or gold?
👉 Market overview at a glance:
✅ U.S. Treasuries = 5% cash yield, a steady risk-free return
✅ Gold: traditional inflation hedge, but high Treasury yields keep draining demand, limiting upside
✅ BTC: high-beta risk asset, extremely sensitive to Treasury yields; as long as long-term rates stay elevated, a major bull market is very difficult
Heartfelt trading insight:
Many focus only on whether the Fed hikes rates, but ignore that long-term Treasuries are the real straitjacket. Short-term rate hike expectations get priced in, but a sustained 5% on the 10-year Treasury is a prolonged liquidity squeeze.
Don’t call a big bull market just because of a single rebound. As long as this U.S. Treasury bomb hasn’t exploded, BTC and gold markets will struggle to break free.
News can tell stories, but Treasury yields are a cold, hard pricing benchmark.
#长端美债5%会成新常态吗？ Middle East News Brief｜2026-09-17 (3 Main Lines + Market Impact + Tomorrow's Watchpoints)
I. Three Main Lines
1) Gaza: Humanitarian Collapse, Not a Ceasefire but a "Slow Breakdown"
A 6-story building in Tal Al Hawa, Gaza City, which was damaged by Israeli military strikes before the war, collapsed, killing 21 people (including children) and injuring 45. The building housed over 100 displaced persons. Rescue efforts lack heavy machinery; the UN and Palestinian side blame Israel for restricting the entry of construction materials and equipment.
Israeli Defense Minister Katz declared "finish the job" and is pushing Palestinians to leave; Egyptian President Sisi reaffirmed in front of Abbas "opposition to relocating Palestinians"—the political solution space continues to narrow.
2) Houthis × Saudi Arabia: Red Sea Frontline Spills Over to the Holy Land Narrative
Houthis claim Saudi Arabia conducted 40 airstrikes on Yemen within 24 hours, retaliated against Saudi Aramco facilities and airbases, and claimed to have shot down an F-15/reconnaissance plane; Saudi Arabia says Houthi drones approached Mecca, labeling it a "red line," with Mecca sounding air defense alarms for the first time since 2017. Houthis deny "attacking Mecca," saying Saudi Arabia is using this as an excuse to continue airstrikes.
The US is engaging with Houthis in Oman: Houthis' stance is "no attacks on US/Israeli/merchant ships, only Saudi vessels"; US military provides intelligence and planning support to Saudi Arabia but does not directly participate.
3) Iran × US × Gulf Security Architecture
US Central Command convened military officials from Israel, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Jordan, and Egypt in Germany—the first such lineup since the Iran conflict began. The US signals: no troop withdrawal, maintaining Hormuz Strait navigation, supporting Saudi Arabia against Houthis but not entering the war. Iran's side: "No talks unless conditions are met," with dual chokepoint risks at Hormuz and Mandeb Strait.
------
II. Market Impact
• Crude Oil: Saudi east-west oil pipeline attacked and shut down → Oman crude briefly surged to $132; subsequently, Saudi Arabia used offshore ship-to-ship transfers near Oman to replenish Asian supplies, Brent fell back to about $104–106, but risk premium remains.
• Freight/Insurance: Red Sea and Hormuz premiums and spot premiums remain high; Asian refineries are pre-booking Middle East shipments for October.
• Safe Haven: US Treasury inflation expectations, gold, and shipping stocks benefit; if the Mecca narrative continues to be hyped, religious security risk premiums will be revised upward again.
------
III. Tomorrow's Watchpoints
1. Progress on restoring Saudi east-west pipeline (half restored in a few days? Full line in six weeks?)
2. Whether Houthis truly attack Saudi oil tankers/Aramco facilities (not just "announcing strikes")
3. Whether Mecca/Jeddah/Taif sound alarms again—religious holy site incidents are most likely to flip Arab countries' stances
4. How many more war-damaged buildings in Gaza will collapse (civil defense says more than one is on the verge of collapse)
5. Whether the US/Israel formalize "intelligence exchange for Saudi anti-Houthi support" arrangements Middle East News｜2026-09-17 (As of tonight)
• Gaza: A residential building in Gaza City, previously damaged by Israeli airstrikes before the war, collapsed, raising the death toll to at least 20–21 people, including multiple children and women; Israeli gunfire continues to cause Palestinian casualties. UN Secretary-General Guterres called for the full implementation of the Gaza peace plan, unhindered humanitarian aid, and an end to the "gradual annexation" in the West Bank.
• Iran/USA: The US and Iran remain deadlocked over passage through the Strait of Hormuz and ceasefire conditions; Iran states it "will not negotiate before conditions are met," while the US says Iran "wants to reach an agreement." The Iranian Revolutionary Guard claims to have shot down a US MQ-9 drone near Qeshm Island (unilateral claim). Trump is expected to discuss post-war arrangements with Gulf country leaders during the UN General Assembly on 9/22.
• Yemen/Red Sea/Mandeb Strait: Houthi-Saudi conflicts sharply escalate—Houthis claim missile/drone attacks on Saudi Aramco facilities and airbases, and shooting down a Saudi reconnaissance drone; Saudi Arabia says Houthi drones approaching Mecca are a "red line," and has conducted about 40 airstrikes across multiple Yemeni provinces in the past 24 hours. Houthis have taken control of Yemen's western coast, causing a sharp drop in Mandeb Strait shipping volume; the Yemen conflict has displaced over 100,000 people.
• Energy Market: Saudi east-west oil pipeline partially shut down due to drone attacks; Red Sea/Hormuz freight rates and Middle East crude premiums rise, with Asian refineries rushing to buy early; Saudi Aramco aims to restore about half of its capacity within several days.
• Lebanon/Israel: Israeli Chief of Staff says that unless the Lebanese army strengthens control over southern Lebanon, arrangements between Israel and Lebanon will be difficult to advance.
• Diplomatic Front: Israel and Morocco agree to upgrade diplomatic missions to embassies and expand cooperation on direct flights, investment protection, etc.—amid the Gaza war, some Arab countries continue to advance relations with Israel at the "security/economic" level.
• US and Houthis: The US reportedly contacts Houthis in Oman; Houthis state they "do not attack US/Israeli/merchant ships, only Saudi vessels," which has not yet changed Red Sea risk pricing. The Essential Demand and Dilemma of BTC Native Yield Track: An In-Depth Review of CORE's Tokenomics and Institutional Game
This article only reviews the fundamentals of the track and does not constitute any investment advice.
The core theme of this BTCFi market cycle is unlocking tens of millions of BTC assets dormant in cold wallets to realize native staking yield. CORE, leveraging the Satoshi Plus consensus, stands at the forefront of this track.
However, while the track's essential demand is real, the inherent flaws in the tokenomics are also undeniable. Institutions continue to research and probe this track but remain reluctant to allocate large-scale CORE tokens, reflecting a complex track-level game.
1. Essential Demand of the Track: BTC Native Yield Solves a Long-Standing Industry Pain Point
For a long time, BTC holders had only two ways to earn interest: centralized custody staking or wrapped tokens like WBTC.
- Centralized custody: risks include platform exit scams and asset misappropriation; institutional funds are extremely sensitive to custody security;
- WBTC wrapping model: BTC is custodied by a third party, essentially a credit asset, not native BTC.
CORE's solution allows BTC to participate in staking and earn yield through a time-lock mechanism without transferring out of the original address or wrapping into a packaged asset.
This product concept directly addresses institutional pain points and is the fundamental reason institutions are willing to spend time researching it. Institutions focus on whether this infrastructure can be commercialized and support large-scale institutional BTC assets.
The research target is the infrastructure, not the CORE token.
2. CORE Tokenomics: The Inherent Dilemma Behind the Glamorous Narrative
Many retail investors mistakenly equate BTC staking TVL growth with positive CORE token prospects, which is the biggest misconception.
1. Misaligned Yield Attribution: BTC staking yields belong to BTC stakers
Users staking BTC receive BTC yields; the CORE token is merely a network security credential. To increase staking yield, additional CORE staking is required.
Growth in BTC assets does not automatically generate CORE buy pressure; token value capture is inherently weak.
2. Continuous Inflation, Long-Term Dilution of Holders' Equity
The August 31 hard fork only fixed the over-minting loophole; the base network incentive inflation mechanism remains.
Validator rewards and ecosystem incentives continue to issue CORE. The more active the ecosystem, the more CORE incentives are distributed, continuously adding new tokens to the market.
Currently, the ecosystem's fee scale is small, and protocol buybacks are insufficient to offset inflation, creating long-term selling pressure.
3. Ghost Chips Legacy, Uneliminated Risk
Following the August 31 reward loophole incident, some tokens have been transferred out of target addresses. The hard fork cannot directly recover these, creating ghost chips.
The project team continues to investigate but has yet to provide an on-chain verifiable, clear timeline for recovery, destruction, or locking.
During market recovery, these chips could be concentratedly moved to exchanges at any time, easily triggering sell-offs during price rallies.
4. Historical Security Stains Raise Institutional Entry Barriers
The protocol had a major consensus reward logic flaw requiring an emergency hard fork. Code bugs can be fixed, but in institutional risk control systems, this is a permanent risk record.
Institutions worry about similar design flaws recurring and will be extremely cautious in capital allocation.
3. Institutional Game: Track Research ≠ Token Allocation
Institutions researching CORE usually have three objectives:
1. Track assessment: evaluate the market potential and technical feasibility of BTC native staking;
2. Horizontal competitor benchmarking: compare solutions like STX, Babylon, MERL, analyzing pros and cons of different technical routes;
3. Business cooperation evaluation: explore infrastructure-level cooperation rather than buying tokens for secondary allocation.
Institutional capital selection logic is very clear:
They recognize the BTC native yield track but avoid CORE token inflation, ghost chips, and historical security risks.
This creates a contradictory market phenomenon: BTCFi hype is high, track capital keeps flowing in, but CORE token performance lags behind track competitors, showing clear marginalization of funds.
4. Zhang Sufen's Contrarian Investment Perspective on CORE
Zhang Sufen's system prioritizes fundamentally clean targets without major historical risks, waiting for valuation repair.
CORE is on the BTCFi main track, has experienced deep declines, and has strong narrative flexibility;
but protocol loophole history, ghost chips overhang, and continuous inflation are three major hard flaws, making its fundamentals not clean.
✅ Positioning: a narrative option, a very small position speculative target, not suitable for long-term heavy holding as a base position.
Only suitable for speculating on lstBTC landing and institutional capital inflows causing pulse rallies; if the three major hard evidences fall short of expectations, exit decisively and refuse to hold long-term.
5. Four Core Tracking Indicators (to judge speculative value)
1. Progress on on-chain disposal of ghost chips, whether large wallets continue transferring to exchanges;
2. Scaled landing of lstBTC liquid staking BTC, institutional custody of real BTC staking TVL;
3. Ecosystem fee income and protocol buyback execution strength, verifying self-sustaining flywheel;
4. Latest security audit reports, continuously monitoring underlying contract risks.
Conclusion
BTC native yield is a real long-term essential demand in the crypto industry, and the track dividend is certain.
But CORE's tokenomics have inherent shortcomings, compounded by legacy chip risks, so track dividends may not translate to token price.
Institutions are playing the infrastructure track opportunity; retail investors are playing narrative expectations. Distinguishing the two prevents passive sidelining in the market.
💬 Interactive question: Do you think CORE's tokenomics flaws have a chance to be fixed through future governance proposals? Feel free to leave comments and discuss.Here's my trading approach: BTC is currently at 76849, showing a bullish trend. My plan is simple — take a light long position around 76500, with a stop loss at 76000 (just above the support level), and a target at the resistance level of 77137. Close half the position at the resistance, and hold the remaining half to see if it can break through. After losing 200,000U, I now trade with small positions to test the waters, opening positions with 5000U, exiting immediately if wrong, and holding if right. No holding losing positions, no guessing tops or bottoms, just trading based on price levels. Staying alive is more important than anything. $BTC $BTC #美联储三年来首次加息25个基点 At this stage, the biggest risk may not be a sudden collapse, but the market becoming too one-sided in its expectations. The Fed has now delivered a 25 bps hike, taking the policy range to 3.75%–4.00%. August CPI also showed inflation at 3.4% YoY, keeping macro pressure in focus. Key levels I’m watching: $BTC → 75K–80K remains the major consolidation zone $ETH → 2,350 is an important support area $SOL → Watch its relative strength if BTC experiences another pullback $DOGE → High-beta sentiment p$XAG
🎯 Steady long position plan (buy on pullback, no chasing)
Ambush zone: pullback 63.8–64.3 (4H EMA21 64.23 + 1H EMA21 64.30 dense zone) in batches, first position 1/3
🛡️ Stop loss: 62.30 (break below 9/14 low 62.44, structure invalid, about -3%)
🎯 Targets: TP1 66.5 (+3%) / TP2 68.4 (previous high, +6%) / TP3 70.0 (daily EMA200, +9%)
If you want to bet on wave 4 counterattack for 10% gain: wait for pullback not breaking 63.5 then rise, move stop loss up to 62.3, risk ≈ 2.5%, hitting TP3 at 70 is about ~9-10%
📊 Backtest calibration with real candlesticks
4H oversold rebound long 69% (23 trades, cumulative +14.8%) ✅ ← Core silver edge, same source as gold: only do dip buys on $PAXG $BTC I decided to close my short positions on $BTC and $ETH and switch to going long.
Because I've lost the reason to short, whether it's the setback of the "CLARITY Act" or the Federal Reserve's rate hike, neither has been able to suppress Bitcoin's price. Looking at the market, the declines caused by the first two negative factors have basically been recovered.
Moreover, there's a positive development today: tokenized stocks have been officially approved by the SEC, which means most US stocks can be mapped on-chain and traded as stock tokens.
In terms of operation, I will first advance with half of the position. If the judgment is wrong and the market continues to fall, I will add to my Bitcoin and Ethereum positions at BTC's previous low of 75,000.
#美联储三年来首次加息25个基点
#美国加密税收与BTC储备法案获推进
#长端美债5%会成新常态吗？ Don't rush to buy the dip.
What's really interesting now is that the performance of the three coins BTC, ETH, and XRP has started to diverge.
BTC: around $76,300
ETH: around $2,400
XRP: around $1.30
After the CLARITY Act got stuck at 49:50, XRP once dropped nearly 8%, while BTC's decline was significantly smaller. (24/7 Wall St.)
This reveals a detail:
The market is no longer indiscriminately selling coins but is repricing "regulatory sensitivity."
I will focus on three key levels next:
BTC
If $75,000 holds → first watch $78,000
If it breaks below $75,000 → be cautious and look for lower points
ETH
$2,400 is the first observation level
If it stabilizes above → see if it can return to $2,500
XRP
Around $1.30 is critical
If it holds → a potential oversold rebound may occur
If it breaks → the $1.20 area becomes the observation zone
There is also a very interesting data point:
Today, XRP ETFs actually saw a net inflow of about $3.5 million, while BTC and ETH ETFs combined experienced a net outflow of about $1.11 billion. (Benzinga)
So now, don't just look at the candlesticks.
For BTC, watch the capital flow; for ETH, watch $2,400; for XRP, watch $1.30.
Whichever of these three levels shows an anomaly first, I will focus on it closely. That immediately caught my attention, so I checked with customer support — and the delisting information was confirmed. I went back and reviewed the setup carefully. After looking at the risks from three different angles, I decided not to keep the short open. I closed the position around break-even. Here’s why 👇 1️⃣ The contract index looks highly concentrated The index appears to rely on a very limited number of price sources, with some of the components coming from relatively small exchanges.The tokens showing persistent strength increasingly have one thing in common — real token value capture. Look at $PONS, $PUMP, $HYPE, $UNI, $RAY and $JUP. The interesting part isn't simply their narratives. It’s what happens when the underlying protocols generate meaningful revenue and a portion of that value is directed toward token buybacks or burns. The cycle is straightforward: Protocol revenue → Buybacks → Lower available supply → Stronger scarcity → Potential repricing That’s very differenYou think you're trading coins, but actually you're just a bit player in the dog dealer's script.
Those who rushed into ZEC this morning don't even know how they died now.
Look at the current price, 1354. Then look at the highest point, 1397. Those forty-plus points are a meat grinder.
Many brothers saw the sharp rise before and couldn't help but chase the long. As soon as they entered, they were standing guard.
Why do I dare to stubbornly hold short positions?
Because the main upward wave from 600 to 1397 has long finished.
The leftover scraps, the dealer is unwilling to share with you, only using them as bait.
Go check the daily chart.
MA5 is only 1190, MA10 is at 1187, current price 1354.
A deviation of over a hundred points from the moving averages, this is called a hanging temple, no foundation.
What can sustain it?
Take another look at the order book.
Long-short ratio B 41%, S 59%. Smart money has quietly positioned shorts, only retail investors are still fantasizing about hitting 1400.
The dog dealer's current trick is very old-fashioned: use small bullish candles to maintain hope, trick you into adding positions, then suddenly a big bearish candle crashes down, hitting your stop loss.
But I won't be fooled.
In this market, awareness is wealth, and what I earn is money from seeing through the script.
Don't guess the bottom, and don't blindly bottom-fish. When the tide recedes, altcoins have no bottom at all.

#美国加密税收与BTC储备法案获推进 After the CLARITY Act failed, there is one data point more worth watching than the 49:50 split.
In two days, BTC ETF net outflows totaled about $746 million.
September 15: -$450 million
September 16: -$296 million
But BTC has once again returned above $76,000 today. (The Crypto Times)
This indicates the market is actually fighting two battles right now:
On one side, macroeconomics—
The Fed just raised rates by 25bp, bringing the rate to 3.75%-4%.
On the other side, regulation—
The CLARITY Act is stuck at 49:50, but the SEC has already started pushing its own crypto rules using existing authority. (Reuters)
So the real key going forward is not whether the bill lives or dies.
It's whether the funds will continue to sell.
My observation points are simple:
BTC $75,000: defense level
BTC $76,500: short-term reclaim
BTC $78,000: reopening upside space
If ETFs continue to have outflows but BTC consistently holds 75K, it means selling pressure is being absorbed by the market.
Conversely, if ETFs keep having large continuous outflows and BTC loses 75K again, then be wary of a deeper risk release.
In the next phase, don’t listen to anyone shouting bull or bear markets; watch where the ETF money flows.A reminder: BTC is now at 76849, less than 300 points away from the resistance level at 77137. If it surges near 77000 tonight, absolutely do not chase the highs. I lost 200,000 U by going long at the resistance level and then got crushed. Strategy: around 77000, consider a light short position with a stop loss at 77400 and a target of 76000. If holding a long position, take profit on half near 77000 first. Remember: do not chase longs at resistance, do not chase shorts at support. Small position of 5000 U, strict stop loss. $BTC $BTC #美联储三年来首次加息25个基点 I honestly have to admit it: I handled this trade badly. Last night, $ETH dropped toward $2,366, and at one point my position was up roughly 300%. I didn’t take profit. I was convinced the bearish thesis would continue and expected a deeper correction. Then the market refused to follow the script. Instead of breaking lower, ETH bounced hard. Now the same position that was deeply profitable has turned into a painful loss. The hardest part isn’t even the loss. It’s knowing I had a chance to protecWeird spot because ETH kind of looks bad: it never broke below its range lows, so it leaves us wondering what happens if it does.
Meanwhile BTC already broke below its range lows and reclaimed them.
The picture would be much cleaner if ETH had done the same.#FedFirst25BpsHikeSince23 #CryptoTaxAndBTCReserve #LongYields5%NewNormal $ONE has risen again
Luckily, I didn't get scammed into buying more
If I had shorted during the day again
I'm afraid my profits from going long on $ETH would be lost
——————————————————
This coin is indeed a standalone coin now
Because there was an inflation event on its chain
So exchanges are not allowing deposits currently
This means the token supply within exchanges is fixed
Plus, the OKX contract index components are quite simple
And its contract will be delisted tomorrow
This makes it very cheap for market makers to pump the price
They can afford to abandon pumping on many exchanges at critical moments
Some friends might not understand contract index components
In simple terms,
the contract's reference price on the exchange
The exchange calculates funding fees based on the index and the current price
If the index goes up
but the current price doesn't
the exchange will charge funding fees to shorts
Otherwise, it's charged to longs
——————————————————
For this kind of contract
I have no desire to play
It's like licking a knife's edge
The risk far outweighs the reward The rate cut has landed. $ETH initially moved higher, then pulled back. Trading volume remains extremely low, showing that market participation is still limited. This isn’t the moment to choose a direction. This is the eve of a directional move. The real signals aren’t in those 15 minutes yesterday. They’re in three bigger developments: 1️⃣ Institutional demand BlackRock’s ETHA has reportedly recorded net inflows for 20 consecutive trading days. If that trend continues, it shows persistent insti$BTC is stuck here without moving, which makes it even more worth watching.
Currently, the price is around $76,400. After dipping to about $75,200 intraday and then recovering, it indicates that support below is still holding for now.
However, $77,000 remains a resistance level that needs to be overcome in the short term.
Next, I will wait for two possible outcomes: whether it can hold above $77,000 after breaking through, or whether it can quickly recover after falling below $75,200.
The former would indicate a continuation of the rebound, while the latter would signal a change in support.
Right now, there’s no need to guess the direction; just watch the key levels and wait for the market to give the answer itself.$ETH's increase this time is more than twice that of BTC; it's not just "following the rise," but an overcompensated recovery after a correction — previously, leveraged long positions on ETH were liquidated more severely than on $BTC (from 2615 down to 2356, a deeper drop compared to BTC's fall from 79569 to 74896). Now that the negative news is fully absorbed and short positions have been closed out, the gap naturally has to be filled by ETH itself first.
ETH's RSI6 has surged to 87.26, hotter than BTC's 77.74 — this round of "deep drop, high rebound" catch-up rally has most likely run its course. The growth pace over the next two sessions will probably converge again and won't maintain this multiple relationship continuously.
If ETH continues to rise at this slope, do you think it will first fill the correction starting point at 2615, or hit the RSI ceiling at 87 and then pull back first? During yesterday's crash, the comment section was full of comments like "bull market is over" and "run quickly." Today, after a slight rebound, there were "new highs coming soon" and "The altcoin season is here." The shift in sentiment took less than 24 hours—this is the most authentic side of the crypto market. I increasingly feel that the most valuable ability in a bull market isn't predicting price movements, but controlling emotions. Many people lose money in their accounts not because they bought the wrong coin, but because they always chase emotions in trading. When prices rise, fear missing out; when prices fall, fear losing everything. In the end, you always buy with excitement and sell in panic. For this round of trading, I only focus on a few facts. Whether BTC can hold key support is the market's indicator. Whether ETH funds continue to flow back determines whether mainstream funds are still in the market. For strong coins like SOL, SUI, OKB, etc., whether the rebound has trading volume to match it, rather than just pulling a single bullish candlestick. If there is no volume rising, I will remain cautious; Only with volume and capital flowing back can the market be more sustainable. Another issue many overlook: a bull market is not about making money every day. In a real big trend, there will definitely be sharp corrections of 10%, 15%, or 20%, all aimed at weeding out those without discipline. If you overturn the entire plan just because of a single pullback, it's easy to hand over your chips at the lowest point. I set a discipline for myself: when prices rise, consider gradually locking profits; when prices fall, control positions; don't change long-term strategies just because of a single candlestick. The market will always give opportunities, but it won't give the same person all the time. Staying in the market is better than betting on the right direction onceDon't be fooled by “institutional research”! The CORE token's yield logic and inflation trap—who's swimming naked?
This article only reviews the fundamentals of the sector and does not constitute any investment advice.
Recently, BTCFi has been heating up, and “institutional research on CORE” is frequently used by KOLs as a signal to buy.
But the vast majority deliberately hide one core truth: institutions research BTC's native staking infrastructure, not the CORE token. The sector has real demand, but that doesn't mean the token will be profitable.
1. Many misunderstand CORE's BTC yield logic
CORE's biggest selling point: no need to wrap BTC into WBTC, BTC never leaves your own address, and native staking yields are achieved through the Satoshi Plus consensus.
- Staking users receive yield in BTC;
- To increase staking yield, you need to additionally stake CORE tokens;
- BTC assets themselves do not automatically buy CORE.
In simple terms: the yield business's dividends belong to BTC holders; CORE is just a network security certificate and a yield adjustment tool.
Rising ecosystem TVL and increased BTC staking do not automatically generate CORE buying pressure. This is the most common cognitive trap for retail investors.
2. Two major traps: perpetual inflation + looming ghost tokens
1. Inflation trap: the busier the ecosystem, the greater the selling pressure
The August 31 hard fork only patched the excessive minting loophole; the basic inflation mechanism remains intact.
Validator nodes and ecosystem incentives continue to issue CORE tokens. The more active the ecosystem, the more CORE rewards are distributed, continuously increasing supply flowing into the market.
Transaction fees generated by the business are currently very small and cannot offset token dilution.
Ecosystem prosperity brings TVL numbers, not token value—typical incremental inflation suppressing price.
2. Ghost tokens: a time bomb that cannot be completely eliminated
Some tokens leaked from the past vulnerability have already been transferred out to target addresses; the hard fork cannot directly recover them—these are the so-called ghost tokens in the market.
The project team has been investigating but has no on-chain verifiable or time-determined recovery/destruction plan.
Once the market rallies, this batch of tokens could crash the market at any time. As long as this hidden risk is unresolved, every rebound faces potential liquidation pressure.
3. The real purpose of institutional research—don't be misled by concept swapping
Institutional researchers investigating CORE generally have these goals:
1. Study the technical feasibility of BTC native staking and evaluate the overall BTCFi sector opportunity;
2. Benchmark horizontally against STX, Babylon, MERL to compare sector competitors;
3. Assess infrastructure cooperation possibilities, not preparing to buy large amounts of CORE tokens.
In institutional risk control checklists, the August 31 protocol-level vulnerability is a permanent stain. Even if the code is fixed, the entry threshold will be significantly raised. Research is just preliminary and does not mean optimism about the token, let alone readiness to enter.
Many KOLs selectively clip “institutional research” segments, deliberately omitting risks to lure retail investors in.
4. Zhang Sufen's contrarian evaluation of CORE
Zhang Sufen's stock selection core: prioritize clean fundamentals, no major historical risks, waiting for valuation repair.
CORE is in the BTCFi main sector, has experienced deep declines, and has narrative flexibility;
but it has protocol vulnerability history, looming ghost tokens, and ongoing inflation, so fundamentals are not clean.
✅ Positioning: a narrative option, a very small position speculative target, strictly prohibited as a core long-term holding.
Suitable for speculative narrative-driven pulse rallies, not for long-term value investing.
5. Retail investors must continuously track 4 hardcore indicators
1. Progress on ghost token disposal, whether large wallets continue transferring to exchanges;
2. Scaled deployment of lstBTC, real institutional BTC staking TVL growth;
3. Ecosystem fee income and protocol buyback strength to judge if the self-sustaining flywheel can run;
4. New audit reports, continuously monitoring potential contract security risks.
Summary
BTC native yield is a real sector demand, but sector dividends ≠ token dividends.
Institutional research does not equal buying; grand narratives cannot hide the dual traps of inflation and ghost tokens. When the tide recedes, who is swimming naked depends on lstBTC deployment, ghost token disposal, and ecosystem self-sustainability.
💬 Interactive question: Which do you think is CORE's biggest shackle, ongoing inflation or unresolved ghost tokens? Feel free to leave your comments.After the CLARITY Act got stuck, I started focusing on a more realistic question:
Does the U.S. still need to wait for Congress?
On September 15, the Senate failed to advance the bill with a 49:50 vote, and BTC subsequently briefly dropped below $75,000.
But just two days later, the SEC opened a 5-year regulatory exemption window for tokenized stocks. (The Wall Street Journal)
And this is not a small experiment.
This time, the SEC directly targeted the approximately **$75 trillion U.S. stock market**.
This means the next phase could see a very interesting trading logic:
Congress handles legislation, while the SEC/CFTC gets the market running first.
So next, I will be watching three things:
BTC: holding or losing $75,000
ETH: holding or losing $2,400
Tokenized stocks: who gets real trading volume first
If BTC holds 75K, and real trading volume starts appearing on-chain for stocks,
then the market speculation might no longer be about "when the CLARITY Act will pass."
Instead, it will be:
Who will be the first to take a bite of U.S. financial assets going on-chain.
I find this line of thought much more interesting than continuing to guess when Congress will vote.$DOS perpetual 20x short position, opened at 0.3042, 0.2045, floating profit +655.48%. Before opening the position, I observed the order book, with a large accumulation of long stop-loss orders above 0.3.
I lightly tested a short at 0.3042, stop loss at 0.32. The main force precisely hunted longs downward, violently smashing the market all the way. 20x leverage controlling 3% of the position, maintaining a steady mindset.
Currently floating profit is 655%, pushing to protect the stop loss. The main force specifically targets clustered stop-loss orders, light position following the trend. $ONE $ARB #美联储三年来首次加息25个基点 The CLARITY Act did not pass, and the most noteworthy data has come out:
The US spot BTC ETF saw a single-day net outflow of $450.4 million.
This is the largest single-day outflow since June 24.
The ETH ETF also had an outflow of $142.3 million.
Together, the two amount to nearly $593 million. (Decrypt)
So don’t rush to say "the bad news is fully priced in."
The market has already cast its vote with real money.
But interestingly:
After the bill was stuck at a 49:50 split, the SEC immediately began pushing its own regulatory path, launching a 5-year Innovation Exemption for tokenized stocks. (Reuters)
This creates a crucial fork:
Congress’s regulatory expectations cool down, while the regulatory agency’s on-chain finance expectations heat up.
Next, I will focus on two signals:
Whether BTC can reclaim $76,000;
Whether BTC ETFs can end the continuous capital outflows.
If ETFs turn positive again and BTC can hold near $75,000, the market might start to reprice the "bill’s negative impact."
Conversely, if ETFs continue large outflows, $75,000 will no longer be just an ordinary number.

Entry reference 3.53e-06～3.60e-06 (retesting the resonance zone of MA5 3.538e-06 and Bollinger upper band 3.60109e-06, while RSI recovers). Take profit 1 target at 3.85e-06 (overbought extension target, close to the upper edge of 30 K-line amplitude); Take profit 2 target at 4.05e-06 (emotional high after trend acceleration).

The micro coin has thin liquidity below, a slight large buy order can trigger a straight surge.
I lightly tried a long at 0.1211, stop loss at 0.115. Selling pressure is very light, once ignited it flies. Using 20x leverage with only 3% position, manageable.
Now profits are substantial, pushing a trailing stop to lock in profits. For small micro coins, watch for liquidity voids, take light positions with losses.

The CLARITY Act just failed, and today the SEC made a big move.
Yesterday, everyone was complaining that the CLARITY Act missed passing in the Senate by 11 votes, saying crypto regulation was over. But today, the SEC dropped a bombshell: releasing an "innovation exemption" that allows tokenized U.S. stocks to be traded on digital exchanges.
Do you get it? The vote in Congress failed, but the SEC directly used its administrative power to open a door.
This is no coincidence. Right after the CLARITY Act failed yesterday, SEC Chair Atkins stated: regardless of whether Congress legislates, the SEC will decisively act within its statutory authority to provide market certainty. The CFTC also followed suit with a statement.
Why is this happening? Because people used to think regulation frameworks required Congressional legislation, but now it’s clear that’s not necessary—the SEC already has the power; it just didn’t want to use it before, but now it does.
And the SEC has been quite active these past months:
In March, together with the CFTC, they issued the "Five Categories Act," dividing crypto assets into five categories, finally ending the guessing game of "Is this coin a security or a commodity?"
In August, they proposed the Reg CA rule, opening two channels for crypto issuers—small ones can raise $5 million over 4 years without registration, and larger ones can raise $75 million in a year with simple disclosure.
Today, they released the innovation exemption, directly allowing tokenized U.S. stock trading.
Do you see? The legislative path is slow and blocked, but the administrative path is faster and more flexible. Congress might argue for half a year, but the SEC can issue a rule in a month.
So don’t be pessimistic just because the CLARITY Act failed. The SEC’s stance is clear now: no waiting for Congress, they’ll act themselves. And today’s innovation exemption directly connects traditional finance with the crypto market—U.S. stocks will soon be tradable on-chain, which is real growth.
There might be short-term volatility, but in the long run, regulatory clarity will only accelerate, not slow down. The path has just changed.On September 14, BTC and ETH spot ETFs had a combined net inflow of $281 million.
One day later, the latest disclosed data completely reversed: BTC ETFs saw an outflow of $288.7 million, ETH ETFs an outflow of $49.5 million, totaling about $338.2 million.
The market tends to interpret this directly as institutional withdrawal following CLARITY's failure.
But there is another key variable: the 10-year US Treasury yield remains near 5%, and the probability of a 25bp Fed rate hike is 92.5%. Both regulation and funding costs are tightening simultaneously.
More importantly, data from some funds like IBIT are still pending updates, so the $338.2 million currently can only be regarded as the latest disclosed figure, not the final value.
What is most worth verifying now is whether outflows will continue to expand after the full ETF data is released, and whether BTC can reclaim 76,000 after the Fed decision. If neither improves, the short-term reversal of institutional risk appetite will be further confirmed.ZEC's spike to 1398 today surged upward, surpassing the previous wave at 1298.
Yesterday's low was 1086, the high reached 1276, and it closed at 1248. Today it opened near 1248, peaked at 1398, dipped to 1234, and the current price is about 1353. Volume is still increasing, with some following the upward move, but the high point didn't hold.
The 1398 level above is new resistance; the space above hasn't opened yet. If it breaks below 1234, it’s likely to revisit 1086 first; if that level doesn't hold either, the short term could move even lower to find support.
In the short term, watch if the current price around 1353 can hold. If it doesn't, treat the spike as a pullback for digestion and avoid chasing at this price. For those already holding, watch if the low at 1234 today can hold; if not, consider reducing positions. For those looking to buy the dip, wait for a pullback and see if it can break past 1398 before considering entry—don't catch a falling knife mid-air. $ZEC CoinShares' latest mining company scan is quite striking: publicly listed mining companies have signed AI/HPC contracts totaling about $100 billion, but their current annualized revenue is only about $1.1 billion. Contracted power exceeds approximately 4GW, but only about 550MW is actually being billed—most of the rest is still under construction, financing, and grid connection.
Money is being repriced: mining companies with AI/HPC contracts have an enterprise value averaging about 12.9 times their next 12 months' revenue; those without contracts average about 3.7 times. Core Scientific spent about $41.9 million in Q2 to terminate contracts for about 15EH/s of new mining machines; Keel (formerly Bitfarms) stopped mining on June 29, with its latest quarter's AI cloud revenue of about $70.5 million surpassing mining revenue of about $66.7 million for the first time. CoinShares estimates that at least about 35EH/s (approximately 4.7% of the recent total network of about 750EH/s) will exit from publicly listed mining companies.
Boundaries must be clear: contract backlog ≠ realized cash flow; the valuation premium is for "already contracted power sites + scarcity in grid connection queues," not current mining profits. After BTC returned to around 77,000, the hash price rose to about $38/PH/day, allowing miners near the cash cost breakeven line to breathe again—but signing long-term AI cabinet leases for over a decade narrows the options for adding more computing power later and the #AI发展焦虑升温，监管讨论升级 $BTC $ETH more and more.HYPE's spike to 83.0 today surged upward, surpassing the previous wave at 82.5.
Yesterday's low was 75.2, the high reached 79.7, and it closed at 78.7. Today it opened near 78.7, peaked at 83.0, dropped to 77.2, and the current price is about 82.0. Volume has increased, indicating some follow-through buying on the rise.
Resistance lies between 83.0 and 83.8, with further resistance from 87.0 to 89.7. If the price breaks below 77.2, it may first test 75.2; if that level doesn't hold, the short-term trend could move lower to find more space.
In the short term, watch if the current price can hold at 82.0. If it can't hold, consider it as still digesting the drop from 89.7 and avoid chasing at this price. For those already holding, watch if the low of 77.2 today can hold; if not, consider reducing positions. For those looking to buy, wait for a pullback and see if it can break above 83.0 before considering entry; avoid catching a falling knife mid-air. $HYPE Charge!! I'm optimistic about this wave! Today, let's first look at $BTC, sitting at $76,456.69. Outside, many are scared by the Fed's renewed rate hikes, the 2022 parallel lines, and institutions buying only 5.9K BTC in three months. But the more these negative narratives pile up, the more cautious I am about shorts getting taught a lesson. Don't be quick to write it off.
$ETH is second at $2,438.94. Anchorage is expanding institutional custody to Etherlink, and Deutsche Bank is also waiting for regulatory approval to offer institutional crypto custody. This isn't just retail hype; traditional capital channels are being built. I usually complain about ETH being slow, but you can't ignore infrastructure news like this—bulls have fuel.
$HYPE is third at $79.77, up 2.53% in 24h. Payward plans to offer Hyperliquid on-chain perpetuals to US clients. This kind of traffic entry is the real deal I love to see. HYPE increasingly feels like it has a strong player behind it. Today, I'm leaning bullish—don't go all in recklessly, but have full confidence. After the surge, stay alive.
Data and strategy don't lie; emotions do.The CLARITY Act did not pass, but what the market is really panicking about is not that the "bill is gone."
It's that U.S. crypto regulation might return to the era of "SEC/CFTC issuing rules one by one."
Senate vote on September 15:
49 votes in favor
50 votes against
11 votes short of the threshold to advance.
After the result, XRP briefly dropped nearly 10% to $1.30, ETH fell about 5% to $2,410, SOL also dropped about 5% to around $97, and BTC fell nearly 3%, back above $76,000. (CoinDesk)
But there's a counterintuitive point:
The day after the bill was stalled, the SEC instead issued a 5-year "innovation exemption," allowing qualified platforms to conduct tokenized stock trading.
So now I'm more focused on three numbers:
BTC: Can $76,000 hold?
ETH: Can $2,400 be reclaimed?
XRP: Can the drop stop around $1.30?
If these three levels are regained, the market might start trading on a different logic:
"The bill not passing temporarily ≠ the U.S. stopping crypto regulation."
Instead, it might enter a phase of "regulators act first, Congress negotiates slowly."
What’s really worth watching next is what the SEC and CFTC will release.100 亿枚 ARC 分到 11 个地址，这数字看着挺唬人。

#Arc主网上线首日数据出炉 $BTC $LIT perpetual 50x long position, entered at 3.7876, target 4.9894, unrealized profit +1586.49%.
Between 3.72-3.75, a large amount of short-term stop losses accumulated, initially a fake breakdown followed by a violent surge, wiping out the short stop-loss orders. I lightly added to the long position at 3.7876 after the pullback.
50x extremely high leverage with strict 2% position control. Now pushing for protective stop loss. After the main force hunts down stop losses below, it often goes one-sided; keep a light position and follow the trend. $ETH $ONE The most interesting thing about BTC right now isn't that it has risen.
It's that the Federal Reserve raised interest rates by 25 basis points yesterday, pushing rates directly to 3.75%-4%, yet BTC actually reclaimed above $76,000 today, up about 0.9% in 24 hours. (CoinDesk)
But what’s really worth watching is the other side:
The SEC today granted a 5-year exemption for tokenized US stocks, meaning stocks are now allowed to be traded using blockchain infrastructure.
The $75 trillion US stock market is moving onto the blockchain. (Reuters)
So what I’m more focused on next isn’t "whether BTC can keep rising."
But rather:
BTC holding above 75,000 → ETH being able to firmly reclaim 2,500 → which chain first captures real trading volume of tokenized stocks.
These three data points are far more useful than shouting about bull or bear markets.🔴 $ZEC Major Negative News! Is the Privacy Myth Shattered?
Zcash has been exposed to have a "constraint insufficiency" vulnerability in the Orchard circuit! 😱
Simply put: hackers might forge "valid zero-knowledge proofs" to execute invalid state transitions (such as double spending or creating money out of thin air).
The PoC test in the code screenshot directly shows: the modified Nullifier surprisingly bypassed proof verification!
Developers have released the PoC; although full node verification is still ongoing, the risk faced is catastrophic. Once a privacy coin loses its cryptographic security moat, what remains? Those long on $ZEC should be cautious and guard against panic selling! 📉The Fear and Greed Index remains neutral at 50, but there is an abnormal detail in the market: $ONE surged 125.63% in a single day, yet the trading volume was only 21.3M USDT. This volume-price divergence indicates that the rally is driven by existing funds and contract leverage rather than incremental spot buying; sentiment has not kept pace with the price, which is typical of a sharp rise driven by funding rates.
Structurally, $ONE's MA5=0.0014506 has crossed above MA20=0.0011711, the MACD histogram turned positive at +2.128e-05, confirming a bullish alignment; however, RSI=74.1 has entered the overbought zone, and the upper Bollinger Band at 0.00171756 is right overhead. The 30-candle amplitude of 58.83% means volatility is extremely amplified. The funding rate is +0.0100%, which is positive, so bulls must continuously pay to hold positions. Once BTC weakens, the pullback in such high-leverage assets will be significantly magnified. Neutral overall market sentiment means no systemic inflows; sector rotation is more likely to spread from doubled assets like $ONE to those with lagging gains.
Directionally, I lean bullish but will not chase the highs; I will wait for a pullback to confirm.BTC dominance is holding near 58–59%.
Showing capital remains concentrated in Bitcoin while altcoins lag. BTC’s recent rebound toward $76K is keeping liquidity defensive. I’m watching BTC.D + TOTAL2: a sustained BTC.D drop could signal rotation into alts. For trades, I’d scale gradually only after confirmation, not chase sudden pumps.
$BTC #OutcomesOnOrbit ZEC, did you take a rocket ride? The short positions are about to be lifted! The floating losses keep piling up, stuck so deep I dare not check the account. Current price 1253, 24h up 12.88%, high at 1276, just one step from the previous high. With this momentum, I wouldn't believe it if it doesn't break through. BTC and ETH are green, but it insists on pulling up against the trend—those manipulative whales are ruthless. I refuse to accept it and will keep shorting on the rebound!
15-minute chart: Bollinger Bands opening upward, price running along the upper band; EMA bullish alignment, strong short-term. RSI around 60, not overbought but limited room; MACD red bars shrinking, DIF and DEA plateauing at high levels, a pullback could come anytime.
Resistance at 1300; support at 1200, strong support at 1085. ZEC is volatile; chasing shorts risks spikes, holding positions risks acceleration, leverage must be tightly controlled.
