In her early years, an old lady had some spare money, so she bought a few pieces of gold in advance and hid them away.
Others thought she didn’t need to, and even mocked her: “Buying this so expensive now—there’ll be plenty of chances later.”
But she was thinking simply: money will keep growing, while truly scarce things won’t just increase out of thin air.
Many things look very expensive when you look at them from the present, but when you view them within the broader trend, they may only be the early stage of price discovery.
This principle also holds for Bitcoin.
The 21 million coin cap won’t change, while fiat money supply will always face long-term pressure to expand.
What really matters isn’t trying to guess the next candlestick, but understanding the long-term supply-and-demand logic.
What stings is this—if this trend continues, in the next bear market we may truly find it hard to see BTC again below $100,000.
So don’t always focus on buying at the lowest point. Understand the trend—it's more important than trying to predict the price.
Many people are trying to describe the major drawdown at the beginning of 2023, attempting to fit today’s market conditions using historical price action.
But what I want to say is:
History can rhyme, but it doesn’t simply repeat.
I’m more inclined to believe that we are still in Stage D. However, before the target area is fully reached, the market may not necessarily replicate that year’s deep drawdown.
So, you can reference history, but don’t let it constrain you.
Past price action can help us understand the market’s rhythm, but it cannot become a script for predicting the future.
Price movements may look similar, but the rhythm may not be the same; structure can be replicated, but the path won’t be exactly repeated.
What truly matters in trading isn’t finding a historical copy, but continuously adjusting your judgment based on current price, structure, and changes in capital.
#BTC Why am I still firmly optimistic about the bull market?
Many people believe that with rate-hike expectations heating up, oil prices staying high, and US Treasury yields remaining at elevated levels, the market environment does not support a bull market.
So, they conclude that this rally is just a bull trap, and that fresh lows will appear afterward.
That’s fine—everyone has their own judgment.
But I’ve always believed that in the early stage of switching from bear to bull, it is often accompanied by massive disagreement and doubt.
I don’t believe that a real bull market must wait until external conditions stabilize, economic data improves across the board, and only then—after the FOMC meeting—when Waller signals a rate-cut direction, will the market officially get started.
If everyone waits until good news is already in place, data turns better, and the market is unanimously bullish before entering, then where would the market be at that point?
Do institutions really not know that rate hikes may continue in the future? Don’t they pay attention to the US10Y and US30Y Treasury yields, or the persistently high oil prices?
Since these risks are all on the table, why has BTC still managed to put out such a行情?
I won’t easily deny my own judgment just because there are bearish factors in the market. Of course, my judgment could also be wrong—ultimately it still needs the market’s price action to verify.
Let time give the answer.
Maybe a year from now, when Bitcoin breaks its all-time high again, market voices will gradually shift from doubt to belief, and more and more people will firmly start to think: the bull market really is here.
But by then, what stage of the bull market will the行情 be in?
The market always starts amid doubt, moves forward amid differences, and turns狂热 amid consensus.
I don’t need everyone to agree with my view right now.
I only need to keep independent thinking, respect market signals, manage risk well, and then let time verify everything.
What’s truly worth thinking about is not when everyone believes in the bull market, but whether—in a market still full of disagreement—you have your own judgment, and the ability to take the risk that comes with that judgment.
The Fed’s hawkish cry is back! U.S. Treasury yields surge—where will the stock market go next?
U.S. stocks ended Wednesday with mixed performance. Although cooler PCE data briefly boosted the broader market, as Fed officials collectively released “hawkish” signals, both Treasury yields and the U.S. dollar index strengthened, weighing again on equities.
🚨 Fed turns uniformly hawkish: Is rate hikes not at the end? Kashkari (President of the Minneapolis Fed): Inflation is still about 3%, far above the 2% goal. The neutral interest rate may be higher than previously expected. He expects another rate hike this year and another in 2027. He also cautioned about risks of long-term supply shocks stemming from the situation in Iran.
Lisa Cook (Federal Reserve Board Governor): Inflation has been above target for more than five and a half years. She supports a 25-basis-point rate hike in September and emphasized how high energy and housing costs in rural areas squeeze household budgets.
Goolsbee (President of the Chicago Fed): He bluntly said that maintaining high inflation for a long time is “playing with fire.” Large fiscal deficits and market expectations of AI-driven productivity gains could both lead to the economy overheating.
📈 Market reaction: Treasury yields hit multi-year highs, and the dollar strengthens
Treasury yields leap higher: The intraday yield on the 10-year Treasury broke above 5.3%, while the 30-year rose to around 5.64%, both at the highest levels since 2002.
U.S. stocks whipsaw: The Dow fell by more than 440 points in a single day, and the S&P 500 closed lower. Only the Nasdaq ended higher against the trend, supported by technology stocks.
The dollar index holds firm: The dollar rose nearly 2% in September, posting its best monthly performance in half a year. The market has basically priced in a December rate hike. It is now expected that total tightening over the next 12 months will be about 90 basis points.
💡 Key observations and takeaways
1. Pressure on the transmission of borrowing costs: With 10- and 30-year Treasury yields serving as pricing anchors, their persistent surge is broadly lifting mortgage and corporate financing costs, creating clear drag on the real economy and equity valuations.
2. “Term premium” returns: Strong GDP data and the expansion of fiscal deficits have pushed investors to demand higher yields from long-term Treasuries. Safe-haven and high-yield Treasury assets have siphoned off some capital from parts of the crypto and equity markets. #美联储会议 #币安广场
🎬 With Q4 starting off, there’s no “Uptober”—the market begins pricing in risks first
BTC is currently around $83.4–84.3K, ETH around $2.7K, SOL around $119.
Yesterday’s PCE data came in below expectations: Headline 3.4% YoY, Core 3.0%.
BTC briefly surged to $85.5K, but then pulled back to around $84K. Elevated U.S. Treasury yields continue to weigh on risk assets.
🔴 Nine straight days of ETF gains end
September 30: BTC ETF −$148.7M, ETH ETF −$59.6M, SOL ETF −$12.5M
Total: about −$221M.
Strong inflows have cooled temporarily, but it’s not yet enough to suggest the institutional trend has reversed.
🏛 CFTC eyes prediction markets
The CFTC submitted two draft rule proposals to OIRA, covering event contracts and their regulatory scope.
The key question is straightforward: for prediction markets like Kalshi and Polymarket, should regulation fall under the federal CFTC or state-level regulators?
For now, it’s only in the rulemaking stage—not the final rules.

🎯 On the first day of October, the market is waiting for a new direction.
PCE has given interest-rate-cut expectations a bit of room, but ETF flows have cooled temporarily, and Treasury yields remain elevated.
And tomorrow, the market will shift its focus to U.S. nonfarm payroll employment data.
