🗓️ September 26｜Crypto Daily
The market today is “index-mild weakness with sector rotation”: BTC is grinding sideways, ETH lacks momentum, SOL is rising on its own—but sentiment has already reached the greed zone, and chasing pumps isn’t great value.
As of 09:00 Beijing time:
• BTC: $83,891, 24h -0.78%
• ETH: $2,686.87, 24h -0.10%
• SOL: $121.58, 24h +3.58%
Total market cap is about $2.89 trillion, 24h -2.63%; total 24h trading volume is about $108.1 billion, with BTC dominance at 58.21%. The Fear & Greed Index is 74, which falls into “Greed.” The screen isn’t a full-scale collapse, but capital is clearly more selective about targets—SOL’s strength doesn’t mean the alt-season is here.
What’s really worth watching today:
1）ETF flows are still positive, but the speed has slowed. The most recent publicly available trading day is September 25, not today: U.S. spot BTC ETFs had net inflows of about $37.5 million; ETH ETFs had net inflows of about $4.7 million; no new weekend trading-day data.
2）U.S. regulation continues to move forward. On September 24, the Fed proposed a regulatory framework for payment stablecoins, covering reserves, redemptions, and bank issuance processes. In the short term it’s compliance cost; in the long run it’s the groundwork for banks to formally enter.
3）The SEC updated its crypto FAQ on September 25: token buybacks, network upgrades, and project marketing don’t automatically make tokens securities. The boundary is clearer, but it’s not “blanket exemption for all coins.”
4）Safety yet again rings the alarm bell: Bitget hot wallet incident losses are about $351.6 million; Circle and Tether froze related addresses of about $318,000 in stablecoins, but most of the stolen funds were ETH, which can’t be prevented by the issuer freeze. Exchange risks and on-chain authorization risks—don’t get careless recently.
Next, track three time points:
• September 29: U.S. JOLTS job openings, consumer confidence
• September 30: ADP employment, U.S. GDP final estimate
• September 30: U.S. personal income and PCE inflation
My take: BTC hasn’t shown clear weakness at high levels, but the market-wide drawdown is larger than BTC’s, suggesting risk appetite isn’t solid. You can look at SOL’s relative strength, but don’t use a single day’s rise as trend confirmation. ETFs remain net inflows as the floor, but incremental inflow is clearly slowing down—before macro data hits, the market is more likely to sweep back and forth.
Trading strategy: Don’t chase SOL’s sudden spike. Buy BTC on pullbacks in batches; if it breaks down, cut exposure. Keep some room in your position sizing, and add more only after the September 29–30 data lands.
Risk notice: Crypto assets are extremely volatile. The above is only market observation and does not constitute investment advice.
