🔥 BTC has just completed one of the strongest months of 2026 so far, but the rules of the game in September may have changed.
In August, $BTC surged from the 60K range all the way through 80K, with a monthly gain of nearly 25%.
If you only look at price, it’s a very beautiful rebound.
But as we enter September, I’m actually starting to pay less attention to the “next breakout.”
That’s because the market is showing three notable changes:
① BTC has returned to around the 78K area, and upside momentum is starting to cool
② BTC spot ETFs have ended nine consecutive trading days of net inflows—an obvious pause appears in institutional buying for the first time
③ Binance’s BTC reserves have risen to near the highest level this year, and potential sell pressure is worth watching
More importantly:
Macroeconomic variables are back.
The market is re-evaluating the Fed’s policy for September, and the upcoming US employment data and CPI are likely to directly affect the direction of risk assets in the next phase.
So in the first week of September, I won’t rush to guess when BTC will break above 80K again.
I’d rather watch:
👀 During BTC pullbacks, is there real spot demand stepping in 👀 Can ETH continue to maintain relative strength 👀 When BTC is consolidating, can BNB and other major coins move independently
August was about:
BREAKOUT.
The first phase of September may be about:
CONFIRMATION.
A truly strong bull market isn’t just about how fast it can rise.
You also have to see—
After it rallies, can it hold.
👇 Who do you like most for relative performance in September?
When the contract announcement came out, I thought—following the normal playbook—there should be some initial shuffling, then a gradual push to the next level. But after the contract was listed, I noticed the open interest was increasing slowly, all long positions, and the funding rate was still positive. How could retail traders be this impulsive? It was obvious the market maker was laying out orders.
Then the market maker first pumped a wave, ate up the short positions, and then dropped it—so they profited from both sides, cleanly taking everything.
This kind of setup doesn’t even require tight market control. With enough retail traders and enough buzz around the topic, it’s actually the easiest way to make a huge amount of money.

The harsher you are, the more worth befriending you become
People truly worth building a deep relationship with often aren’t that “easy to talk to”: they dare to refuse, dare to put the ugly truth up front, and when the relationship is about to get out of control, they know how to hit the brakes. Many people, when they’re young, choose friends and are especially easily moved by the phrase “good temper.” They smile at everyone, help with anything, and when others make requests they say “no problem.” Being around them feels like there’s zero pressure. But over time, you’ll find that this kind of overly accommodating person can sometimes be the most exhausting. They agree quickly with words, while their frustrations keep piling up inside; they may seem to understand everything in front of you, but behind your back they might flip through old accounts again.
$BTC $ETH $BNB sideways consolidation is grinding people, 🐮🐮🐮🐮🐮🐮🐮 is the market still there? Do BTC and ETH have hopes of breaking to new highs?
Truth be told, the crypto space has been really exhausting lately. BTC and ETH have been stuck in a range for a long time, grinding back and forth. They can’t rise much, and they don’t fall deeply either. A lot of people have run out of patience—asking every day: when will it finally choose a direction? Has the bull market already quietly ended?🔥
To be honest, this is a classic sideways washout phase right now. Neither the longs nor the shorts have the upper hand. Trading volume has also been shrinking. Short-term funds are shuffling around; chasing the price gets you trapped, while trying to bottom-fish leaves you worried it’ll keep grinding. Many retail traders who can’t hold their positions get shaken out by this kind of repeated volatility.
Whether the bull move is over can’t be judged solely by short-term sideways action. As long as the big trend hasn’t been thoroughly broken down, don’t hastily conclude that the bull market is finished. If you want new highs, you need a breakout with increased volume over key resistance. Without volume to back it up, even if price spikes, it could be a false breakout and easily get hammered back down.
ETH has more volatility—basically it follows “Big Pie” (BTC). As long as BTC doesn’t move, ETH is hard to establish an independent upswing.
Now,千万别乱操作—don’t mess around with random trades. Don’t rush to bet on a one-way surge or crash. Break above and hold the resistance before considering a long. If key support breaks down, be careful about the next round of pullback. During a sideways phase, the worst thing is frequent back-and-forth trading—it’s easy to get beaten repeatedly. #黄金本周下跌3.24% #特朗普达成委内瑞拉17油田开发协议 #日元贬值日本已投入970亿美元护盘
What is the connection between kindness and cause and effect? Zen isn’t chasing light outward; it’s first living in a way that turns yourself into a lamp that can shine— #LUCIC
Today (August 31) is the deadline for the official delisting of USDT by digital bank Revolut. The platform will automatically convert users’ remaining USDT holdings into fiat currency based on the exchange rate of that day. This is another landmark event highlighting the ongoing tightening of European crypto compliance.
Meanwhile, the G20 finance ministers and central bank governors meeting is being held today in North Carolina, following up on last week’s Jackson Hole meeting—global inflation and the direction of monetary policy are worth watching.
In addition, the NFT collateral lending platform NFTfi officially ended operations today and took its front-end website offline; the all-in-one token deployment platform Printr also ceased all operations today.
🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧 The younger the market, the more opportunities there are—and the faster things change. The only thing that doesn’t change is the importance of continuous learning.
Kindness is the most precious base color of the human heart. Doing good brings good fortune you can gather for yourself. Hold kind intentions in your heart, do more good deeds, store fewer selfish and malicious thoughts. Good luck will come of its own accord, and peace and smooth sailing will always be by your side. Keep kind thoughts, do good deeds, and make good connections. Look toward the sun with your heart—warm and open-hearted. Fortune will come, and things will only get better and better!
I stand within causality, doing my utmost within what I can, and honoring what I cannot; living hollowly day by day, letting all things follow fate; in matters of people and feelings, with benevolence and righteousness reaching their limits, asking nothing of my conscience and remaining unashamed; after doing everything I can, if it can’t go as I wish, then let it go as you wish—go as you please! #定投BTC #定投BNB #定投SOL
The best spiritual practice in the world is learning to be of benefit to others. With a little more understanding and consideration, and a little less to take personally. In fulfilling others, you also enrich your own heart. Altruism isn’t sacrifice—it’s mutual illumination!
