Monday’s steep pump: 85K is broken—regulatory loosening + short-squeeze resonance
At noon they said 81,000 “chasing/dragging,” and in the afternoon a big bullish candle pushed it to 85K (BTC 85021, ETH 2723). Rate hike news plus the CLARITY negative was fully digested. The SEC’s “innovation exemption” (regulated tokenized stock compliance) became the new catalyst, and combined with Kalshi/Coinbase racing for perpetual compliance, the regulatory outlook at the margin turned warmer.
📍 Market: grinding turns into a short squeeze; 82K becomes support
In the afternoon, volume surged and it broke above 82K (the prior resistance). Across the whole network, total liquidations exceeded 750 million (mostly shorts), a textbook squeeze. ETH followed but lagged BTC; once 2700 is back up, watch 2750. Greed is at 71; 85K is the psychological level. Hold above it to look toward 90K; pullbacks to 82K–83K are the test.
📍 New development: contention for the compliance track (SEC exemption + prediction/perpetual)
On 9/17, the SEC granted tokenized stocks a 5-year “innovation exemption.” Kalshi (prediction markets account for ~85%) + Coinbase filed for a U.S.-equity perpetual listing. Binance rolled out Pre-IPO tokenization (no equity). Institutions (ETF re-deposits) and the compliance narrative are resonating—but don’t chase the concept; execution is still early.
📍 Takeaway: the breakout ground out through grinding is the truest
From a pullback from 75K to grinding around 80K for days—today it broke 85K. One day an ETF can lie; one week of flows (bad news cleared + minor regulatory adjustments) doesn’t. Position over opinion: don’t chase at 85K. Wait for a pullback to 82K–83K to confirm, then look again. When greed is high, keep your hands cold.
Were your short positions wiped out today? [旺柴]
