$BTC Still grinding around the 78k area. Last night I swept through 77.6k with a kick and then pulled it back. Fuel prices are rising, and rate-hike expectations are still not low. The real bomb this week is Friday’s CPI; in between, there’s Thursday’s PPI. In terms of positioning, spot can be held, but for leveraged chasing longs, take a break for now.

Let’s put the facts on the table first: OKX spot right now is roughly $BTC 78590 (24h -0.7%), $ETH 2489 (near flat), and $SOL 103.5. Total market size is about 2.81 trillion, with BTC accounting for around 56%, and Fear&Greed at 66. Funding rates haven’t gone out of control—$SOL they’re even slightly negative. The squeeze-show hasn’t started yet; more than anything, it’s macro pressure weighing on risk appetite.

The heating direction is rather scattered: old brands with high beta like DOT, ATOM, ETC, CRO have seen a clear rebound surge; BNB and XRP are relatively steady; and ZEC shows standout volume. On the other side, SOPH, WLD, and some memes (WIF/BONK/TRUMP) are bleeding. Money is rotating—not going for an all-out attack.

Technically, within $BTC for short-term: after the pullback from 82k, focus on defending 78,300 / 77,600 and the rebound ceilings at 79,400 / 80,000. $ETH If it gets stuck around 2,500, and once it breaks below 2,440, watch out for further slow, bearish drifting. $SOL Today there’s a Transaction v1 upgrade window—more of a base-infrastructure event; the price may not follow the headlines. First, see whether it can reclaim 105.

The upcoming schedule is clean and solid: 9/10 PPI, 9/11 CPI, 9/16 FOMC. Before that, tighten up the “breakout narrative”; it’s more important than constantly guessing who will be the next ten-bagger.
