BTC touched 79,000—this is the third time. After the first two times, once there were smaller-volume new highs, there was a wave of shakeouts. This time, the volume still hasn’t caught up. But what’s interesting is that every time it pulls back, the support underneath holds up pretty well. Retail participation on-chain is at a two-year high—more like turnover than dumping.

In the mainstream, ETH and SOL are clearly taking the baton after the U.S. stock market closes. As long as BTC doesn’t crash hard, capital is willing to move into the mid-to-larger tiers. After BNB broke above 700, it hasn’t really looked back. Holding sideways at this level is strength.

Sector rotation is too fast—Memes are switching hotspots every hour. If you keep chasing, you’re likely to get schooled. In this kind of market, I usually watch two more candles before making a move. Don’t rush to bang your thigh.

If you have a different take, just talk about it—no need to hold back.

BTC hit 79,000 and this is the third attempt to break through that level. The first two times also saw breakout highs on decreasing volume. This time is the same: spot hasn’t really seen an increase in volume, but futures open interest has piled up to 47B.

BTC 79200: this move is taking it to a new high—what about the volume and open interest? Futures open interest at 47B is stacked up. ETFs were still running yesterday. Retail activity is at a two-year high; it sounds bullish, but the new traders are lifting the sedan only halfway before they realize there’s no driver. In this market, it’s just high-level rotation. Don’t get carried away just because you see one green and one red candle—first look at the order book support.

BTC 79,000—trading volume hasn’t really dropped off. ETH 2,514 is just tagging along, but this rally is clearly not driven by it.

On-chain retail activity is already at the highest level in nearly two years. At this point, a small pullback actually looks more like rotation/turnover—some people are scared, and others step in. It seems like the bulls haven’t fully left yet.

But honestly, BTC has decoupled from the Nasdaq to this extent—historically, it has only happened twice. After this, BTC is likely to move with an independent trend.

Open interest is 47B. Funding rates are neutral to slightly bullish, and leverage hasn’t reached a crazy level. First, let’s see whether it can hold its ground—then whether there are takers on a pullback.

I’ll keep watching this one. Don’t rush.

This bullish candle from UNI has something to it. Over on Robinhood, the trading volume exploded, and the price was pushed straight above 5.2. From what I can see in the order book, there’s real buying support—not some fake pump that just wicks and runs.

According to my usual habit, at this position I’m not in a rush to chase. Let’s see if it can hold above 5.2 for two days. If it pulls back near 5.0 and people keep stepping in, that would indicate turnover is sufficient—then it would have the qualifications to move into a trend later. If tomorrow it gets smashed back down to 4.8, then today’s move is just a sentiment-driven trade; don’t let yourself get fooled into thinking it’s more than that.

Also, what CZ said is pretty on point: this year, in the industry, there really aren’t many solid new narratives. RWA and stablecoins are among the few directions that are actually seeing real implementation. UNI, as an old-school DeFi blue chip, is one of the names you can’t bypass if capital starts flowing back into this segment. Let’s first see how it closes.

What do you all think? Drop a couple of lines in the comments.

The order book is still grinding people, with BTC 78,600 trading sideways for two days. The ETF also saw net outflows of $200 million yesterday—so by rights, the money should be resting. But it’s not playing out that way on-chain. HyperLabs redeemed 430,000 HYPE tokens, and that hit the market for more than $30 million, yet HYPE didn’t collapse. What does that mean? Someone is taking it.

I’d rather view this as a chip rotation. Tonight, the CZ RWA and stablecoin narrative was mentioned again—not just empty talk. Look at USDT’s market cap sitting at $183.4 billion without shrinking. The money didn’t run away—it’s switching tracks.

Don’t get carried away just because it’s green one candle and red the next. Chasing here feels uncomfortable. Funds are picking a direction, not pumping upward.

BTC 78600 has been sideways for two days in this zone. Yesterday, spot Bitcoin ETF outflows were also still about $200 million. Binance’s lending rates, on the other hand, are somewhat bullish—there’s no real chasing in the spot market, and leverage is being quietly increased. When I see this kind of divergence, I usually first watch the show.

Keep an eye on Sanjin. If anything changes later, I’ll chat about it again.

This contract is flying up fast, but you all notice it: in 24 hours it rose 77%, yet the trading volume is only a little over 7 million. The market cap is $127 million, and the turnover rate is unbelievably low.

My take is that this pump was achieved by someone propping it up with very little money. And the on-chain net outflow actually suggests the chips are moving outward. When the contract launched, where did the market maker’s coins come from? I won’t spell it out too clearly.

For short-term sentiment plays, what they fear most isn’t a drop—it’s that nobody’s there to take the other side. Entering now is the same as lifting a sedan chair for the people in front of you. Don’t tell me you’re not in the last batch?

Today’s market looks pretty interesting. The money didn’t really push hard into big bakes—it just keeps rotating through the emotion coin instead. The bulls pulled this run, and Binance perps went straight up as well—really fast. When its market cap broke 120 million USD, I checked the trades and the volume is at least fairly solid. But according to my usual style, at such a high level I won’t chase it; I’m going to see how it closes today. As for TENDIES, on the Robinhood chain, its market cap is 27 million USD, yet it’s up 41% over the last 24 hours. That kind of small-cap market is risky—flows in and out too aggressively, so anyone taking the baton needs to think it through. What I’m really watching is whether the bulls can carry the whole Meme sector and trigger a follow-through effect. If tomorrow more newcomers come in to take the baton, then this wave of sentiment hasn’t finished yet.

The name “STONK” clearly looks like it’s here to cause trouble. It surged 77% in 24 hours and the turnover was over 7 million, but net outflows were 130k. There are 9 “smart money” participants in it. For this kind of line, I usually watch two more candles. If it runs too fast without a pullback, I don’t chase it in—because it just feels uncomfortable.

If it can hold steady around 0.027, and the volume can compress a bit, then we can talk. Don’t just look at the gainers list—watch what happens when it retraces, and see if anyone is stepping in to buy.

The speed of this contract is really fast—its market cap just broke $127 million, and Binance U-base immediately came in. To be honest, for a meme of this level, once the contract goes live, the volatility will only get even more insane. You’re seeing unrealized profit of $860,000—minutes from now it could look totally different. Chasing in at this position is playing with your heartbeat, not managing your position.

Next, look at that PONS KOL: single-coin unrealized profit of $3.4 million, with a 52x return—that sounds pretty shocking. But for meme coins, unrealized profit is just numbers unless you actually sell. My take is that right now the market sentiment index is neutral across the board, and the USDT pool hasn’t moved much, which suggests the main funds haven’t poured in aggressively. This meme rally is more like in-market hot money competing with each other.

BTC is just moving sideways at 78,000, and ETH at 2,454 is also behaving calmly. Even the altcoin resilience index is neutral, meaning capital hasn’t found a clear direction. At a time like this, a meme coin爆发 is more like existing capital searching for a breakout point—but how long it can last depends on whether there’s real buy-side follow-through afterwards. Don’t get carried away and fooled by a single big bullish candle.

BTC 78000 has been stuck here for a day—where is the money going? I checked the USDT pool and it hasn’t moved; the BTC ETF saw an outflow of 200 million yesterday, but total contract open interest is still 49B. I’m watching Cumberland’s move of transferring 170,000 HYPE coins into a CEX like this—large anomalies often lead the price chart. This level isn’t without opportunity; it just means we need to wait for the capital to show its hand first.

This coin—Binance went straight to USDT-margined perpetual contracts for it. Its market cap is now hitting $127 million, and it’s up 77% in 24 hours.

When I saw that KOL go in with $1.51 million, it made my heart skip a beat. It’s not that you can’t chase, but at a spot like this, once the contract opens, implied volatility just gets cranked up. Look at how it’s risen from the bottom—now with this kind of volume and turnover… how high must the turnover rate be?

I just checked the order book. The bid and ask order queues are pretty thin. In a book like this, one gust and you get a wick/pin-prick kind of move. What I’m most worried about isn’t it dropping—it's that you get shaken out right after you enter, then you watch it keep running.

So I’m not saying don’t touch it—you just need to think clearly: are you here to trade short-term, or are you being pushed around by FOMO? Short-term trading has its own tactics; FOMO has its own outcome. Lines like this—I’d watch a couple more, because if you keep chasing, it’s easy to end up getting educated.

If you have different views, just talk—don’t be all stiff about it.

The BTC funding rate has just stabilized over there, and ETH has taken over to the upside slightly. To be honest—at this position, would you dare to chase? I’m not asking you to go all-in; I’m asking you to look at who’s passing the baton. PONS’s market cap temporarily broke 360 million, and an on-chain small coin surged 193x in 24 hours, with trading volume only $9.9 million. This kind of volume can’t fully justify that kind of rally—so the baton-passers deserve a big question mark.

The Coinbase premium index has turned positive, and the US stock market buy-side pressure has definitely come back a bit. But the ETF side saw outflows of 200 million yesterday—one in and one out shows institutions still haven’t made up their minds. In the mainstream, SOL is holding around 104 and BNB is hovering near 693. What’s actually stable isn’t the kind of move that blasts straight up. The altcoin resilience index is neutral: it means prices aren’t dropping too deeply now, but don’t expect a broad-based “everything rallies” market.

According to my usual approach, at times like this you should focus on where the capital is flowing and who’s lagging behind. HNT doubled in a day, and there are short-term hot spots, but the sustainability needs to be discounted. The steadier capital is still stacking into BTC and ETH. The medium-term structure hasn’t broken—so there’s no need to rush.

STACY’s move: over the last 24 hours it surged by 193x, with only $9.9 million in volume. The volume matches this kind of upswing—according to my habits, I’d first draw a big question mark.

Net outflow is 3.68K; “smart money” only entered 4 of them. Holders are only 6.5K—this is a typical low-float/pumped style. Chasing in from this position feels uncomfortable, but whether it’s over or not isn’t certain either—it mainly depends on whether there’s volume to carry the momentum next.

My view: for this kind of short-term “meme/chaos” coin, first watch how it closes today’s daily candle. If it holds sideways at a high level without dropping, there’s still a chance; if it suddenly gets hammered down with a bearish candle, then all the gains from earlier were just paper wealth. Just don’t trick yourself into believing it.

BTC at this 80k level—I’m looking at the candlesticks, not the news.

Honestly, today’s market looks pretty boring. The funding rate has pulled back to neutral, and leverage on both sides doesn’t dare to move. BTC is chopping around the 78,300 area. Above 80k, there’s a liquidation wall of short positions at about 6.19e8 yuan. Below 78k, spot demand is propping it up. This is a classic case of low volume with no clear direction.

What really jolted my attention is HNT—up 100% in 24 hours to $0.6. This kind of sudden pump in an old DePIN project suggests that market funds have started rotating from the front-and-center names into the mid-to-lower tier projects. With major coins moving sideways and not much volatility, the money still has to go somewhere.

By my usual approach, in this kind of market I don’t make predictions—I only watch two signals: (1) whether BTC can break above 79,500 with volume. If it goes up without volume, it’s a fake breakout; (2) whether this kind of anomaly in HNT gets followed by other traders and brings out a broader “follow-through” bid. If it does, activity in the mid-to-lower tier projects can continue. In a sideways market, the scariest part isn’t falling—it’s when you can’t help itching to make a move.

I’ll keep watching this one. Don’t rush.

BTC funding rate is moving back to neutral, while ETH is actually leaning more positive. What concerns me about this divergence is that leveraged funds are starting to shift toward ETH, while there’s nobody rushing into BTC. Let’s watch for now—don’t rush to take action.

Over the past two days, BTC’s funding rate has returned to neutral, while ETH on the other side is slightly more skewed to the long side. I’ve seen this kind of structure several times: usually the majors first take a breather, and then the smaller alts start looking for opportunities. The “Bull’s come” address from today is quite interesting—someone chased higher and bought 12.25 million SOL with $1 million, which isn’t something retail traders would do. On Solana, the September 9 upgrade to Transaction V1 will shorten the block time further. That’s a fundamental positive, but what I care about more is whether the market will actually buy into it on the day it goes live. At the 80,000 level, the short liquidations have already stacked up to more than $600 million. If it truly breaks through, the pace won’t give you a chance to get on board. My view is: don’t slap your thigh in impatience at a spot like this—first, see how the volume behaves over the next two days. If you keep chasing, you’ll easily get “educated.” I’ve been through this kind of market too many times.

Somebody picked up this wave. With 23M in volume, net inflows of 100K+, there are 4 smart wallets still in it, and holders are also up to 47K. On the BSC chain, memes usually aren’t that hot; this kind of volume is pretty uncommon.

From what I’ve observed, after it spikes up, whether there’s anyone willing to keep buying on the pullback matters. The price is low and the market cap looks small, so retail investors are easy to lure in—but the risk is also in that kind of stock: when sentiment cools off, the speed of bag-holders is just as fast.

According to my usual style, I don’t chase at times like this. First, I’ll see whether it can consolidate sideways on shrinking volume. If it holds that sideways range, then we talk.

NVDAB this thing’s order book is really frustrating. When you lift the offer, nobody follows; when you hit it, nobody takes it—so it just sits there, waving around on the board. I won’t judge whether Nvidia’s valuation is low or not, but for Binance’s this US-stock-weighted benchmark, the trading has always been sluggish and unhurried. Clearly, the funds are waiting for the next K-line to decide direction. Over on CRCLB there’s a bit more movement, but it still hasn’t formed a real consensus. Chasing it from this spot feels uncomfortable. According to my habits, it’s better to wait until it picks a direction first, then jump in.
