Bitcoin and U.S. stocks are significantly decoupling, similar to the prelude to the 2017 Bitcoin bull market
On September 6, crypto analyst Willy Woo posted that Bitcoin's trend is significantly decoupling from that of U.S. stocks. The last time such a degree of decoupling occurred was in 2015, which was the prelude to the 2017 Bitcoin bull market.
In 2014, the stock market was still in a bull market, while BTC experienced a bear market unrelated to stock market trends. From 2015 to 2016, the stock market fluctuated weakly for two consecutive years, but BTC entered a bull market; then in 2017, when the stock market also turned bullish, BTC rose further and sharply.
Willy Woo believes the current market structure is similar to that time: BTC liquidity continues to strengthen, while the stock market is beginning to show signs of fragility.
The Dawn of the Fomo Dynasty The Collapse of Smart Money and the Ticket Scalper
After MEME exploded on RobinHood and Fomo, these past few days X has been flooded with tools for tracking Fomo addresses. Click any post at random and it’s all KOLs “summarizing Fomo-related tools” for everyone: for example, enter a Fomo username to resolve the address it’s linked to, then copy it with one click; or, conversely, take an on-chain address and look up which Fomo account it corresponds to. You can even batch-identify them on block explorers and various chart pages; there are leaderboards, profit stats, APIs, and Chrome extensions. There’s even a “prehistoric method” — open the other person’s profile, press F12, and check the address field directly in the network request response. The comments are full of thanks, and the people reposting it call it “godlike.” From 2017 to now, stuff like this has appeared in every rally, but this time, everyone failed to realize that this thing is already useless.

Even at the early stage of a bull market, there is no need to fear missing out. You can refer to the early 2023 bull market trend as a reference:
1. The daily line keeps hitting new highs. After touching the upper band, it stops rising, first pulls back on the daily line, then rebounds to test the upper band again, and then moves into a three-day-line pullback. 2. Current forecast: the daily line fluctuates and repeatedly makes new highs. It will most likely encounter resistance around 85, first pulling back to 78; afterward, it rebounds to 88-89, then experiences a three-day-line-level pullback, retesting around 70, and there will still be opportunities to buy the dip later. 3. Bitcoin will inevitably experience a pullback: First, to wash out long positions, Second, because the market needs time; it will not keep surging in a one-way move and let everyone make money.
AI's Next Stop: When the 'Shovel Sellers' Start Outrunning the 'Miners'
The AI capex frenzy has not cooled, but the flow of money is changing. Over the past two years, the market's pricing logic for AI has been almost entirely centered on U.S. tech giants—Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and Meta. These hyperscale cloud providers have been seen as the ultimate beneficiaries of the AI era. But now, a group of institutional investors managing large pools of capital is beginning to reassess that consensus. According to Bloomberg, PIMCO fund manager Emmanuel Sharef is making a clear shift in positioning: adding to Asia and underweighting U.S. tech giants. The fund managed by Sharef has assets of about $19 billion and has outperformed 97% of its peers over the past three years. This performance backdrop makes his portfolio adjustments quite worthy of attention.

🧧On-chain Briefing|An unusual signal in the rally: in this BTC surge, whales did not use the move to sell into strength
On September 6, on-chain analyst Murphy released a report. Using the BTC on-chain accumulation trend score, he compared whale on-chain behavior across multiple rebound cycles to interpret the underlying quality of this round of price action.
This indicator is used to observe whether whales holding the equivalent of 1,000 BTC / 10,000 BTC are net accumulating or reducing their holdings over a 30-day period:
• Values close to the black zone ≈ whales are continuously accumulating
• Values close to the yellow zone ≈ whales are distributing coins, or choosing to stay on the sidelines
Looking back at the last two rebound phases in history: During the rallies in January this year, when BTC challenged $97,000, and in May, when it climbed to $82,000, the indicator was both in the yellow zone. The price increases were driven by short covering and short-term capital. Large holders sold into strength at the highs, while long-term capital failed to take over, which is a typical bear-market rebound structure.
But this round, as BTC rose from $60,000 to $80,000, the indicator remained in the black zone, and whales as a whole were net buyers over the past 30 days. This is the first time across the three rounds of price action that the combination of “price surge + whales adding at the same time” has appeared. Historically, this structure has been more common during the main upward phase of a bull market, indicating that the underlying structure of this rally is relatively healthy.
Compared with the similar move in January 2023: After the FTX collapse in November 2022, whales at the $16,000 bottom began positioning; but once the market rallied in January 2023, the indicator quickly turned yellow, with large holders stopping accumulation and starting to realize floating profits. That year’s gains relied more on short covering and improved macro expectations, while the drying up of market liquidity amplified volatility. The indicator could not capture the position changes of smaller retail traders.
It is therefore clear that although January 2023 and August 2026 had similar price trajectories, the behavior of on-chain dominant capital was fundamentally different.

💥The highest good is like water, which is the most gentle philosophy of life in the "Tao Te Ching." Laozi said: “The highest good is like water. Water benefits all things and does not compete; it dwells in places that everyone detests, so it is close to the Way.” Water nourishes all things in the world, yet never seeks credit or fights for gain; it stays in low-lying places, occupying positions that others dislike, yet embraces everything and remains clear and transparent. Water benefits all things without competing—not because it is weak, passive, or indifferent, but because it reflects a broad vision and profound wisdom.

Is the risk of the U.S. midterm elections being underestimated? The market is seriously underestimating the risk that the results of the U.S. midterm elections are challenged, leading to political and legal disputes. Meanwhile, Wall Street hedging costs have fallen to a new low for the year, with implied volatility on S&P 500 put options for November dropping below 15%, creating a low-cost window to buy protection early. The probability that the election results will be disputed, or even trigger political turmoil, is being severely underestimated by the market, and current option pricing does not fully reflect this tail risk. As the market calms in August, the implied volatility of S&P 500 put options has fallen markedly from July highs. The calmer the market, the lower the cost of protection; but once election risk is truly priced into assets, volatility could rise rapidly, and the cost of hedging later would increase significantly. The core logic is built on current polling trends. Polls generally show Trump’s approval rating declining, Democrats are expected to regain the House, while Republicans are projected to retain control of the Senate. What the market is truly ignoring is not the election outcome itself, but the political and legal disputes that may arise if the result is challenged. If the final outcome is unfavorable to Trump, the possibility that Trump would mount a strong response and challenge results in certain districts is being severely underestimated. In that scenario, Trump could launch legal challenges against every “contested” district, delaying the election certification process and sparking a wave of media coverage about what happens next and claims that the election was stolen. This political uncertainty could ultimately spill over into financial markets and drive volatility sharply higher. For markets, the most dangerous outcome is not necessarily one side winning, but rather the result taking too long to confirm and the persistent uncertainty that follows.
