$ETH $BTC Right now, BTC and Ethereum are separating too much. Ethereum is almost back to the price level before last night's drop, while BTC is weak as hell, only bouncing back a little bit. This makes things really difficult. BTC's downtrend is looking great; those shorting it have no emotional swings at all, steady as can be. But Ethereum feels a bit unpredictable. Still, just refer to BTC for the big trend. The overall direction will definitely resonate, just the gains will differ and the pullbacks will vary. Today, Ethereum must be brought back, unless it can break through 1910 today, then shorting might not be appropriate. At the latest, wait until after the CPI release, otherwise it’s too mentally taxing. I don’t want to waste energy anymore. If I’m wrong, I’m wrong. Losing a few points of sesame seeds to save dozens of points of watermelon really isn’t worth it, hey $ETH

The narrative tonight has reached its most tangled moment, those who understand will get it: on one hand, South Korea's chip exports in August rose by 155% year-on-year, spot chip prices continue to climb, demand is solid; on the other hand, South Korean brokerages have cut the target prices of Samsung and Hynix by 30%, starting to call a "peak." Bulls and bears collided on the same day, which usually indicates that this price hike story has entered a "believe it or not" game. At times like this, the worst thing is to blindly take sides—whether the price surge is cooling off or sustaining life depends on next month's contract prices and inventory data. Protect your ammunition, don't get carried away when the narrative is at its loudest.

$OKB is now back to $94.69, just one step away from the repeatedly mentioned $95 resistance level. The battle at this position will be quite critical. From the recent trend, $90 has gradually become the first support, while $95 is the most immediate resistance. If it can break and hold above $95 with volume this time, the next target will be the $100 round number. Breaking through $100 could lead to a new price discovery phase. Conversely, if it encounters resistance again near $95, the short-term range will most likely remain between $90 and $95, possibly even retesting $90 to confirm support. What I’m more focused on now is not the price of $94.69 itself, but whether $95 can turn from resistance into support. There are two key points ahead: watch $95 for a breakout, watch $90 for defense! #财报观察员：AI基建财报接力登场

♾️ BlockInfinity 8/11 California Tuesday: On the eve of CPI, crypto's "risk appetite + safe haven" both fail, don't blindly bet on direction within the range 🌐 Macro The biggest variable this week = US July CPI (released Wednesday). Consensus: overall YoY 3.4% (previous 3.5%), core 2.5% (previous 2.6%). Two scenarios — ① Data hotter → stagflation concerns, US stocks sell off, Fed Chair Waller may lean toward rate hikes; ② <3% → risk appetite returns, unwind of rate hike pricing for the year. Employment "bad news = good news," but CPI "bad news is bad news." Fed pricing ~28bp hike in December, about 50/50 chance for September. Timiraos: Increasing number of FOMC members focus on CPI to decide "whether further hikes are needed"; new Chair Waller downplays "data-dependent" framework, but old framework still dominates. 🌍 International Situation Strait of Hormuz remains closed: Iran's Supreme National Security Council reiterates "US won't reopen without conditions" (demanding end to war + unfreeze funds), US continues "maximum pressure" on Iran. Hedge signals: Pakistan hints US-Iran close to deal → oil prices give back early gains; explosion at Libya's Zawiya refinery. US military intelligence judges Iran's strategic focus shifted from nuclear program to the strait, military control assessed as "long, deadly, extremely costly, no guaranteed victory" → geopolitical premium unlikely to retreat. 🛢️ WTI $83.20 (+1.3%, retreated from intraday +5% high); 🥇Gold $4,370 (pulled back from two-month high), Silver $64.64 (−1.9%), Copper $6.685 (+0.2%). 📈 Technicals (multi-timeframe) 🔴 $BTC $63,289 (−0.95%): Daily MACD main line death cross (DIF95<DEA101 histogram −12) turns bearish, breaks below MA20(64,169), RSI14 46; 4H RSI 35, 1H RSI 32 deeply oversold, 1H Bollinger Band width only 1.09% ⚠️ extreme compression signals imminent breakout. Range 62,227–66,397 holding lower boundary. 🔴 #ETH $1,864 (−0.5%): structurally weakest leg, daily MACD bearish, hugging MA50/EMA50, 4H/1H RSI 33–36 oversold, range 1,820–1,982 edges bearish. 🟡 #SOL $75.1 (−0.9%): relatively most resilient, daily still above MA20(74.45), bullish alignment RSI 49; 1H RSI 32 short-term oversold. 🔬 Derivatives / Volume 🔴 24h liquidations = long bloodbath: BTC $55.4M (long $50.0M / short $5.4M ≈ 9:1), ETH $32.4M (long $26.5M), SOL $4.5M (long $4.2M) — this round's selloff = long squeeze. 🟡 Funding rates mildly positive (BTC +0.010% / ETH +0.007%, not extreme); BTC OI $46.4B, 24h only +0.16% (no deleveraging, shorts patching while fighting). 🟡 Spot discount −0.11% / −$71 (no buy orders in US session spot); Fear & Greed Index 29 (fear); BTC DVOL 35.98 (implied vol suppressed to low). 📈 US Stocks (intraday, ~1h before close) 🔴 Nasdaq weak QQQ 717.9 (−0.7%); AI capex leaders down ORCL −4.3% / GOOGL −3.0% 🟢 CRCL +7.4% standout; TSLA +0.7%, META +1.3% 🟡 Storage split: SNDK +1.8% / SKHYNIX +2.2% / MU −2.2%; INTC −1.6% ₿ BTC Core Judgment Daily death cross appears, multi-timeframe bearish alignment, but price still trapped in range (62.2–66.4K), no breakout; 4H/1H RSI deeply oversold + longs just bloodied $50M. Meaning = "weak but oversold." Without trend confirmation, chasing shorts = fueling short squeeze, chasing longs = reckless before CPI binary event. 🎯 Key levels: break above 65.8–66.9K turns bullish, break below 62–63K opens next leg down; between is noise. ⚖️ Comprehensive Judgment Crypto's "risk appetite" and "safe haven" both fail to function: gold hits two-month high, oil inflation premium reignites, BTC falls with stocks instead of rising — market prices Middle East/oil as "rate hike" not "safe haven." Before Wednesday's CPI, all directions are binary bets: hotter suppresses risk assets, cooler sparks rebound. Current optimal = low exposure awaiting data, avoid heavy directional bets near 65K magnet + event. 🎯 Today's Trading View (for reference only, not personal positions) • BTC: mid-range (63–64K) no chasing; break and hold above 65.8K = light long test, stop loss 64.8K; close below 62K = bearish, stop loss 63.2K. ATR daily ~$1,254, stop loss not tighter than this. • ETH: weakest leg, rebound 1,900–1,940 resistance for light short, stop loss 1,965; break below 1,820 accelerates. • General discipline: control position before CPI = preferred; deeply oversold no naked short (fuel for squeeze), no naked long without confirmation, wait for fake breakout to be validated. ⚠️ Risk Events 📅 Wednesday: US July CPI (most important) + EIA crude inventory + OPEC/IEA monthly report + Tencent Q2 earnings 📅 Thursday: US July PPI + initial jobless claims + JD.com earnings 🔴 Sudden risks: Hormuz talks repeated, Middle East refinery/shipping disruptions, US-Iran "deal vs maximum pressure" headline shifts → oil and inflation expectations volatile both ways. ⚠️ Not investment advice, DYOR

I suggest everyone use AI more; if you have questions or ideas, you can have AI analyze them for you. You can learn a lot during this process. Whether going long or short, it all comes down to timing and position size—when to enter, how much to buy, and when to exit. Overall, I am making money, but I bought at mid-levels, which means I entered too early; the timing was off. This month, I will keep small positions, avoid making moves or adding positions lightly, focus on learning, and fight again next month.

$BTC is consolidating, why is capital suddenly flowing into CeFi? Currently, $BTC continues to fluctuate around $63,000, down 0.3% in 24 hours, while $ETH is defending $1800, slightly up 0.44%. However, gaps have already opened between different sectors. CeFi rose 1.89%, becoming the strongest performing sector of the day, with BNB up over 3%; Layer1 increased 1.22%, the Meme sector also recorded a 0.76% gain, and $DOGE performed relatively well. Note this is not a broad recovery of altcoins. The NFT sector fell over 6%, Layer2 dropped 1.7%, and DeFi is also weak. Even though $LINK rose nearly 4% against the trend, it did not drive the entire sector. The current market further proves that capital is rotating within a limited range: Withdrawing from the less popular NFT and Layer2 sectors, shifting to CeFi and strong coins with better liquidity and greater certainty. My personal judgment on the current market is that CeFi leading the rise does not mean a new major bull run has started. Market inflows are insufficient, and sector rebounds can easily become one- or two-day rotations. Continuous observation is needed: whether $BTC can increase volume and strengthen again, and whether $ETH can continue its rebound. Note that only if BTC and ETH open up space can capital continue to spread to altcoins; otherwise, blindly chasing sudden rallies in small-cap altcoins still stands at the peak. #现货ETF资金分化，BTC卖压仍在

🚨 BREAKING: HARMONY ($ONE) JUST SUFFERED A MASSIVE EXPLOIT 💸 The attacker allegedly minted 4 billion ONE without authorization equivalent to around 26% of the total supply. $ONE then plunged nearly 30% within a short period. According to on-chain data from Juiceberg: The attacker exploited a vulnerability involving empty blocks to mint 4B ONE. Around 2.8B ONE was subsequently transferred to exchanges. Only about 115M ONE reportedly remains on-chain. Most of the tokens have either been sold or are sitting in exchange wallets, potentially ready for further selling. ⚠️ THE MOST CONCERNING PART The actual total supply reportedly increased dramatically, but the totalSupply endpoint did not accurately reflect the change, leaving many tracking tools effectively “blind” during the early stages of the exploit. 🛡️ HARMONY TEAM RESPONSE Harmony has reportedly acknowledged the incident and is: ✅ Coordinating with exchanges to freeze the funds ✅ Preparing a patch ✅ Considering the possibility of a chain rollback > “We will provide updates as soon as new information becomes available.” 📌 HARMONY HAS HISTORY Harmony previously suffered the $100 million Horizon Bridge hack in 2022 and experienced a bug that incorrectly minted 146 million ONE in 2023. This time, the reported scale is far larger. 👀 THE MARKET IS NOW WATCHING TWO KEY QUESTIONS: 1️⃣ How much of the stolen/minted funds can exchanges freeze? 2️⃣ Will the Harmony team actually decide to roll back the chain? A rollback would be an extremely sensitive decision, as it could affect all transactions that occurred after the exploit. Are you holding $ONE, or just watching the situation unfold? 👇 DROP YOUR TAKE BELOW. I’ll keep updating as new information emerges.
