Reasons Supporting MINA's Continuous Rise in Value
In a nutshell: MINA is a uniquely lightweight L1 public chain in the recursive zero-knowledge proof space, focusing on privacy + verifiable internet data. The Mesa upgrade significantly boosts performance, and RWA, identity verification, and AI intelligent agents are its fitting application tracks; however, token inflation is a long-term suppressive factor, and the ecosystem scale is still in its early stages.
1. Unique Underlying Technology Moat
1. Recursive ZK-SNARK, constant 22KB chain size across the network
Most public chains expand continuously with transactions, requiring large-capacity hard drives to run full nodes; MINA relies on recursive zero-knowledge proofs to keep the entire blockchain at about 22KB in size. Phones and ordinary computers can sync full nodes instantly, greatly lowering the barrier to node participation and ensuring decentralization.
Principle: Does not store all historical transactions, only saves encrypted proofs representing the entire network state, compressing infinite computations into short proofs, with off-chain computation and low-cost on-chain verification.
2. Native programmable privacy zkApps (Snapp)
Can prove facts on-chain without revealing users' original private data. For example: proving compliance with KYC, creditworthiness, or asset balance without uploading original data on-chain. Highly suitable for RWA, compliant identity, privacy lending, and credential verification scenarios, aligning with regulatory demands for privacy data protection.
Developed in TypeScript to lower developer entry barriers and attract Web2 developers into the ZK space.
3. Major Mesa hard fork upgrade
The Mesa upgrade reduces block time from 180 seconds to 90 seconds, enhances on-chain state fields, expands zkApp capacity, and increases network throughput. This is a key milestone for technical implementation and boosts developer confidence.
2. Track Narrative: ZK + Real-World Data Verification, Huge Incremental Space
1. "Prove Everything" cross-internet verification gateway
MINA's biggest differentiation: it can generate zero-knowledge proofs of data from any internet website on-chain. For example, bank statements, education, credit reports, asset proofs—without uploading original data, only submitting verifiable proofs. This capability is highly demanded by RWA, on-chain identity, and compliant DeFi, creating differentiated competition with other ZK chains (ZK-EVM).
2. Fits AI intelligent agent narrative
AI Agents need to fetch external network data while protecting privacy. MINA's zk proofs can provide AI with trusted data sources. The Zeko ecosystem is advancing an AI intelligent agent framework, aligning with the current AI + Web3 trend and attracting capital attention.
3. Ecosystem Continues to Materialize, Moving from Pure Technical Concept to Usable Products
1. The ecosystem is gradually completing infrastructure: mainnet launched DEX (Solis), multisig wallets, hardware wallet support, cross-chain bridge development, DeFi foundational components forming, no longer just a theoretical public chain.
2. zk games, privacy credentials, identity verification applications are launching successively, continuously enriching zkApp cases, proving the technology can support real applications, not just theoretical.
3. Institutional capital endorsement: early investments from well-known crypto institutions like Coinbase and Polychain, the R&D team O(1) Labs has strong cryptography expertise, continuous long-term iteration, and the project has no major security breach history.
4. Token Mechanism and Chip Logic (Positive Aspects)
1. PoS staking mechanism: MINA holders can delegate staking to earn block rewards, locking a large amount of tokens long-term in the staking pool, reducing secondary market circulation pressure.
2. Network operation depends on SNARK proof miners who consume resources to generate zero-knowledge proofs. MINA, as the network's only native token, is the fundamental fuel maintaining the entire ZK lightweight chain's operation.The regulatory shoe has dropped, and the Federal Reserve is next on stage. The crypto market will be sleepless tonight.
The clear bill failed to reach the 60-vote threshold, and the legislative process has stalled again. BTC responded by dipping, once approaching the $75,000 mark. The setback of the bill is certainly bearish, but the real eye of the storm is tonight—the Federal Reserve's interest rate meeting is imminent. In just two days, the crypto circle has been hit by both regulatory and liquidity pressures.
Don't just focus on the bill itself; what will determine the short-term direction is Powell's tone.
BTC's key level is 75,000. If it breaks down with volume, the downside space opens, and the next support will need to be found. If it stabilizes with low volume here, it means panic selling has been absorbed. Pay attention to ETH at 2400 and SOL at 100. These three levels will be decided tonight.
I'm not in a hurry to take a short position right now. The logic is simple: after bearish news is fully released, if the price refuses to fall, that's the most interesting.
If the Fed leans hawkish but BTC holds firm at 75,000 and slowly recovers lost ground, it means the market has already priced in the pessimistic expectations.
Tonight, only one thing matters: the gain or loss of 75,000. It's much more practical than guessing bull or bear.

#美联储10月再加息概率破55% $PEPE perpetual 50x short position, opened at 0.000004024, currently 0.00000376, floating profit +328.03%.
Market observation: PEPE previously tested the 200-day EMA (0.00000364) unsuccessfully, breaking below the ascending wedge pattern. On the 4-hour chart, it has been compressing within a descending channel since early September, with RSI hovering in the weak range of 34-50. Volume has shrunk to about 30% of the previous peak, indicating exhaustion of bullish buying. A strong resistance zone forms between 0.0000040-0.0000042 (200-day EMA and previous dense trading area).
Technical breakdown combined with volume contraction resonance. I entered a short position at 0.000004024 (channel upper resistance), with a stop loss set at 0.0000043. Using 50x leverage strictly controlling position size at 2%.
Current price 0.00000376, moving stop loss up to 0.00000395. Key support below is at 0.0000032-0.00000313; if volume breaks through, it will accelerate a bottom test down to 0.0000023. $AKE $ONE 🔥 BTC｜Rate hikes can't suppress it, the real watershed has arrived
The most noteworthy aspect of this round is not how much BTC has risen, but why it hasn't continued to fall after the negative news landed.
The Federal Reserve raised rates by 25 basis points in September, and the market originally feared further liquidity tightening, but BTC quickly rebounded from around 76K, once breaking through $81K. Meanwhile, the U.S. House Financial Services Committee advanced a strategic Bitcoin reserve-related bill, indicating that policy-level discussions on BTC reserves are still ongoing.
The real key now is $81.7K.
CryptoQuant data shows that the BTC 365-day moving average is near this level and regards it as an important technical threshold to confirm a new bull market. If it can hold firmly with volume, attention can continue to focus on $83.6K and $88.7K; if it rises again but falls back, it may still return to range-bound oscillation.
So rate hikes do have an impact, but the market has already told us with price that the negative news has not created sustained selling pressure.
$81.7K is not the end, but a confirmation.
Hold steady, then talk trend; break through, then talk space.
No chasing the rise, no guessing the top, wait for BTC to give the answer with price.
#BTC重返8万美元，资金面出现修复 #美联储10月再加息概率破55% #CLARITY法案下一步怎么走？ S&P Global's move for OpenZeppelin points to a broader definition of digital asset risk: not only credit quality, reserves and asset exposure, but the code that governs execution.
With OpenZeppelin's libraries tied to over $37T in cumulative transfers and 900+ security projects, standardized contract-risk metrics could become a practical bridge between onchain systems and institutional due diligence.
#SPGAcquiresOpenZeppelin Fear and Greed Index reports 71, indicating the market is in the greed zone, but $GRAM's current price of 1.37 has only slightly increased by 0.44%, clearly underperforming the sentiment, which shows that funds are not concentrated here. In terms of moving average structure, MA5=1.3634 is below MA20=1.3714, with a short-term death cross suppressing upward movement. The MACD histogram at -0.002248 remains bearish, RSI=53.2 is in a neutral to slightly weak position, and the Bollinger Bands have narrowed to 1.35848-1.38432. The amplitude of the last 30 candlesticks is only about 2.7%, indicating a typical low-volume consolidation. The funding rate of +0.0050% shows that bulls still have a slight willingness to pay, but it is insufficient to drive a breakout. The overall market greed sentiment has not effectively transmitted to $GRAM; sector rotation favors more volatile targets. MARSCOIN fell nearly 6% in 24h with volatility over 20%, and although SPCXB's MACD turned bullish, it still closed down 2%, indicating this is not an environment of broad altcoin rallies.
Comprehensive judgment: $GRAM is short-term bearish with weak rebound strength. Entry reference is 1.370-1.375 (close to MA20 resistance and upper Bollinger middle band), take profit 1 at 1.358 (Bollinger lower band support), take profit 2 at 1.350 (extension after breaking lower band), stop loss set at 1.386 (above Bollinger upper band to avoid false breakout stop loss). If volume increases and price stabilizes above 1.384 with MACD histogram turning positive, consider switching to bullish.$HYPE perpetual 50x long position, opened at 79.865, now at 92.099, floating profit +765.91%.
Market observation: HYPE previously built strong support in the 74.8-76.4 range, then broke out with volume through the long-term downtrend line and the previous high of $89 (September 6 ATH). After breaking $89, the chart entered a price discovery phase with no historical trapped positions. The technical pattern shows a classic "breakout-pullback-continue rising". With native lending launch and compliance expectations, the price surged straight to $92.5.
Rapid trend breakout phase. I followed up with a long position at 79.865 (breakout retest confirmation), with a stop loss set at 75 covering liquidity. 50x leverage strictly controlled at 1% position size.
Current price surged to 92, moving stop loss up to 88. Mid-term technical target is $100.5. The 85-88 range below is a strong support zone converted after the breakout. $ZEC $AKE The market is starting to seriously trade on "continuous rate hikes": the probability of at least one hike before December has exceeded 90%
On September 19, after the latest CME "FedWatch" data was released, I think what the crypto community really needs to focus on is no longer "whether there will be a rate hike," but rather: how many hikes will there be before the end of the year.
Currently, market pricing shows a 46.9% probability that the Fed will keep rates unchanged by October, while the cumulative probability of a 25 basis point hike has reached 53.1%. In other words, whether there will be a hike in October is basically a 50-50 split, with significant market divergence.
But if we look ahead to December, the picture is completely different.
The probability of maintaining the current rate level by December has dropped to only 9.4%; the cumulative probability of a 25 basis point hike is 48.1%; and more notably, the market even assigns a 42.5% probability to a cumulative 50 basis point hike.
In other words, according to current futures market pricing, the combined probability of at least a 25 basis point hike before the end of the year has reached 90.6%. The real debate in the market has gradually shifted from "whether there will be any hikes this year" to "one hike or two."
This is very important for BTC, ETH, and U.S. tech stocks. Because risk assets prefer liquidity easing, and if rates continue to rise, the yield attractiveness of U.S. dollar cash and short-term bonds will increase, raising the opportunity cost of holding risk assets.There is a pattern for new coin listings on OKX: they crash immediately after listing, then surge.
On 09-16, AKE was listed, the first 4H candle dropped -25%, opened around 0.025, closed at 0.040. Four days later today at $0.0608, up 152% in 24h, with a trading volume of $565M.
This is not unique to AKE. On 09-15, PONS was listed, opened down -6%, then surged +24% the same day before pulling back.
Why do new coins always crash first then rally after listing?
The project teams and market makers pre-position their holdings before listing. The first day’s crash is to shake out retail investors and acquire coins at a lower cost. The rally on the second and third days is their first wave of selling.
This K-line pattern is actually quite clear: new coin listing → first bearish candle → low volume consolidation → sudden high volume bullish candle = the main players are back.
BTC is up 4% today, ETH +5%, SOL +5%, the overall market is bullish. New coins are more likely to be carried by the broader market in this window.
But these coins have high volatility and poor depth, making it easy to enter but hard to exit.
Have you ever been shaken out on the day a new coin was listed? $AKEHYPE is hovering near new highs again, and Hyperliquid has introduced "manual lending" into the weekend market.
Fact: Spot price is about $92; you can use HYPE/BTC as collateral to borrow USDC/USDT (disclosed LTV roughly HYPE 65% / BTC 50%). The derivatives exchange has its own supplementary lending channel, with liquidity narratives louder than trading calls.
Judgment: Product expansion ≠ unilateral continuation; once lending is enabled, liquidation chains will accelerate during pullbacks.
Focus on three things: pullback volume, lending utilization rate, and whether BTC can hold the 81,000 level.

BTC has once again surpassed the $80,000 mark, with previously continuous outflows from spot ETFs now seeing inflows, leading to a clear recovery in capital flow. This round of rebound is partly due to the market's cooling expectations for further Fed rate hikes, a slight decline in U.S. Treasury yields, and a marginal improvement in the liquidity environment for risk assets; on the other hand, spot funds have re-entered the market, changing the previous pattern of continuous redemptions suppressing the market, driving prices to rise from lows. However, it is important to note that the battle between bulls and bears remains intense at the $80,000 level. Short covering in the derivatives market has helped push prices up in the short term, but new leveraged buying has not erupted on a large scale, with the market relying more on spot funds to support the bottom. On the macro level, inflation data and Fed statements remain the biggest variables; if inflation rebounds again, rising rate hike expectations will quickly suppress crypto asset valuations. The short-term capital recovery is a phase of warming and does not represent a restart of a one-sided upward trend. Continued observation is needed to see if ETF funds can maintain stable net inflows and if the $80,000 level can hold effectively.

From NVIDIA's GPU monopoly, to the surging storage chip prices of Micron, Samsung, and SanDisk, and the decentralized computing power revolution of DePIN networks, AI is twisting the once parallel tracks of crypto, semiconductors, and computing power into a super industry chain that is interdependent and catalytic. The recent antitrust storm where AI giants have collectively faced lawsuits has cast a shadow of uncertainty over the future direction of this industry chain. 1. AI Antitrust Storm: From Giants to the Entire Industry Chain Chain 1. Monopoly Allegations and Industry Impact of AI Giants Recently, global top AI giants such as Anthropic and OpenAI were collectively sued for colluding to slow down AI development, accused of conspiracy to monopolize industry growth. The case has now been officially accepted by a California court. The core allegation of this lawsuit is that these AI oligarchs, under the guise of "slowing AI development and coordinating industry rhythm," actually conspired to formulate industry rules and restrict market competition, ultimately affecting the healthy development of the entire AI sector. This lawsuit targets not only the AI giants themselves but also triggers a chain reaction across the entire tech industry. The monopolistic behavior of AI giants not only affects the speed of AI technology development but also influences related industries such as semiconductors and cryptocurrencies through the industrial chain 2NEAR at $3.65, do you still dare to chase?
First, look at the surface: it’s gone crazy up, but the short-term is already hot to handle.
In 24 hours, it surged from 3.42 to 3.91, now hovering around 3.65, with trading volume exploding to $1.5-1.8 billion. Up 55% in 7 days, market cap at $4.8 billion, ranking surged to 19-23. The daily chart is far above the 20/50/200-day moving averages, RSI at 75-83, ADX trend strength off the charts—this is a typical accelerated topping phase.
First thing: The product has landed, but the price has already run ahead of the positive news.
Confidential Intents TVL broke $70 million, triggering the NEAR@3.33 milestone snapshot, with 333,000 locked tokens waiting to be distributed. The unlocking condition is a 3-day VWAP holding above 3.33—the price must hold for the incentive to be realized; this is a clear game.
near.com defaults to confidential perpetuals, powered by Hyperliquid engine + confidential shards, hiding position size, entry price, and direction, also accepting deposits from 35+ chains. NEAR Intents daily volume broke $300 million, accumulating hundreds of billions, protocol fees start buying back NEAR.
Second thing: The macro is a “false easing,” don’t be fooled by BTC’s rebound.
On September 16, the Fed raised rates by 25bp, hawkish bias. But BTC rebounded from 76,000 to 81,000, why? Short squeeze + ETF inflows, not liquidity easing.
The 10-year US Treasury yield nears 5%, the dollar is strong, liquidity is far from loose. Fear & Greed at 71, greed zone. NEAR’s outperformance this round is due to sector beta + event-driven, not macro bull.
Third thing: Technically overbought, a pullback is the real friend.
Daily RSI 75-83, 4H stochastic multiple death crosses, price pulled back from 3.91 high. This is not a trend reversal but definitely short-term momentum fading.
Resistance: 3.78-3.83 → 3.88-3.92 → 4.00-4.11
Support: 3.50-3.53 (whether pullback holds) → 3.25-3.35 (new floor) → 3.12-3.14 (trendline, break means weakness)
Bull vs. bear showdown, judge for yourself.
On one side:
Confidential Intents launched, TVL broke $70 million
Confidential perpetuals online, privacy trading + 35-chain deposits, full differentiation
Intents daily volume $300 million, fee buybacks, real cash flow
7-day up 55%, trend strong with no rivals
On the other side:
Daily RSI 75-83, seriously overbought
4H stochastic death crosses, short-term momentum fading
Weekend thin liquidity, high risk of spikes
Macro not loose, if BTC breaks below 79,000, NEAR will crash first
Open interest rising too fast, crowded trades prone to fake breakouts
Trading strategy
If already long:
Reduce 30-50% between 3.78-3.90, move cost basis to safe zone. Stop loss raised below 3.48 (aggressive) or below 3.24 (trend trade).
If empty and want to go long:
First buy point: 3.5-3.53, stop loss 3.42, target 3.8/4.0.
Better buy point: 3.28-3.35, wait for volume contraction, long lower shadow, 4H not breaking previous low, stop loss 3.18, target 3.80-4.1.
Short-term reversal:
Only short lightly if volume breaks below 3.50 and 1H candle closes below and fails to recover, target 3.35, stop loss 3.62.
Scenario simulation
Strong: Hold 3.50, break 3.78, target 4.00-4.20. 3-day VWAP stays above 3.33, incentive realization is positive.
Medium: 3.50-3.78 consolidation for 1-3 days, then choose direction. Highest probability.
Weak: Daily close below 3.25, pullback to 3.12 or even 2.8x, trend pauses, wait to break above 3.35 again before acting.
Fundamentals and narrative are bullish, but price has already priced in early. 3.65 is not the best chase point; 3.50 and 3.30 offer better risk-reward.
If you chase at 3.65, you’ll panic if it pulls back to 3.30; if you wait at 3.30, you’ll be a hero when it hits 4.00.
The market always rewards patience and punishes FOMO gamblers.
At $3.65, do you dare to chase or wait for a pullback?
$BTC $ETH $NEAR The whale is still selling BTC to buy ETH! $22.57 million smashed in two days, this is not ordinary accumulation
On September 19, the whale who just spent $17.15 million yesterday to heavily build an ETH position continued to act today, with a very clear strategy: continue selling BTC to buy ETH.
According to on-chain monitoring, in the past 15 hours, this whale entity has bought another 2,086 ETH through associated addresses, at an average price of about $2,599, investing approximately $5.42 million this time.
Since yesterday, this whale has accumulated a total purchase of 9,058.19 ETH, with a total investment of about $22.57 million, and an average holding price of about $2,492.62. Based on the current price, this batch of ETH has generated an unrealized profit of about $1.22 million.
But what I think is truly worth noting is not that "the whale made $1.22 million," but where his funds came from — selling BTC and then buying ETH.
This is completely different logic from simply using stablecoins to buy ETH at a dip. If it were USDT or USDC buying ETH, it would only indicate a bullish view on ETH; but now, by actively reducing BTC-related asset exposure while increasing ETH positions, it essentially expresses a clearer relative strength judgment: at least at this stage, he prefers to put his funds into ETH.盘口又往下蹭了一格，我盯着那根几乎没波动的阴线，忽然理解了什么叫钝刀子。 你手里有没有那种，卖了怕飞、拿着怕归零的仓位？ CP 上市后最高摸过 0.07488，现在报价 0.01280，从山顶下来超过八成。奇怪的是它没有一次性砸穿，而是每天磨一点，像有人在慢慢拧小火力，专治不甘心。 这种走法最折磨的其实不是现货，是衍生品那边的节奏。价格阴跌但没出现极端恐慌的插针，说明空头挤压的燃料一直没被点着，同时多头也始终等不到那根救命大阳线。持仓量如果迟迟不降，资金费率又偏中性甚至微正，就很容易变成温水煮青蛙：没人愿意先认输，可每一小时都在悄悄付时间成本。这时候真正的脆弱点不是价格，是耐心。 我自己的观察是，这类新币在深跌之后，市场往往提前计价了反弹预期，却没计价继续缩量的可能。看多的人会说跌幅够深、筹码换手充分，随时可能来一波报复性修复；看空的人则盯着没有承接的盘口，认为每次小反弹都是逃命窗口。两边都有道理，但衍生品视角下我更在意一件事：如果下一次反弹还是带不动持仓和成交，那它就不是反转，只是给套牢盘一次减压的机会。 传导到 BTC 和 ETH 身上，这种个币的疲软其实也在提醒我，风险偏好没有真"Only 21 million OKB left, but the price is still stuck?"
The on-chain transaction on August 15 might have gone unnoticed by many—OKX burned 279 million OKB tokens into a black hole address at once, slashing the total supply from 300 million directly down to 21 million, with a market cap of about $26 billion. That's not all; including the previous 28 rounds of burns, 71.2% of OKB has been permanently wiped out. 21 million is the hard cap.
Logically, such a level of supply contraction should have sent the price soaring. But OKB is hovering around $109 now, having dropped more than 4 points in the last 24 hours. The news of ICE investing in OKX with a $25 billion valuation also happened, and the price surged past $120 that day before falling back.
However, whales are moving. Large transfers over $100,000 have surged 700% in 30 days, and 5 million OKB have been transferred from unknown wallets into OKX.
On the macro side, the Clear Act was just rejected, and the Federal Reserve implemented a 25 basis point rate hike, creating an unfriendly environment.
The logic for exchange tokens has changed. OKB no longer supports its price through fee buybacks; Exchange OS requires staking OKB to open markets, and X Layer's trading fees are also being burned. With a 21 million token supply combined with a narrative shifting from an exchange platform token to on-chain infrastructure—the market has yet to assign a value to this combination.
109 is not the end point; whether it’s a starting point or a trap depends on where the whales swim next.#ZEC逼近1600美元，多空博弈升温 ZEC nears $1600: The battle between bulls and bears heats up, entering a high-leverage zone
ZEC's strong momentum continues. OKX data shows that on September 19, the intraday high reached $1588.8; over the past 7 days, the overall increase exceeded 30%, with the price directly challenging the $1600 round number.
Capital flows are also reinforcing this rally. Since the launch of Grayscale's Zcash ETF (ZCSH) on August 25, net inflows have exceeded $233 million, with $46.6 million flowing in on September 17 alone.
However, the biggest variable now has shifted to leverage. Data shows that near $1604 there is about $7 million in potential short liquidations, and near $1651 the cumulative scale further rises to about $53 million. In other words, once $1600 is effectively broken, the market may continue to trigger forced short liquidations; conversely, longs at high levels also face the risk of rapid pullbacks.
ZEC is no longer just a normal trend rally but has entered a price discovery phase driven by spot capital and high-leverage battles. $1600 may be the switch that amplifies the next wave of volatility. #SEC Tokenized Stock Innovation Exemption Implemented, UNI Surges Over 21% Intraday SEC Tokenized Stock Innovation Exemption Implemented: UNI Soars Intraday, Market Begins Trading "On-Chain Wall Street"
The U.S. SEC officially launched the "Innovation Exemption," allowing qualified platforms to trade tokenized U.S. stocks through licensed AMMs and liquidity pools, with an exemption period of up to 5 years. This marks the first time that U.S. stocks on-chain have received a clearer regulatory pilot framework.
After the policy implementation, UNI quickly rose from about $6.63 to $8.49, an increase of over 20%. The market is clearly repricing the value of DEXs and on-chain liquidity infrastructure.
However, it should be noted that this is not a full opening: tokenized stocks must retain real shareholder rights such as dividends and voting, and issuing companies also have the right to oppose their stocks being listed on related platforms.
What truly matters is not how much UNI rises in a day, but whether DEXs will evolve from "trading crypto assets" to the next-generation securities trading infrastructure if traditional assets like stocks and funds continue to go on-chain.This isn't a rebound; it's like CPR for my empty account, right? Yesterday afternoon I was still watching $APT, the bottom was consolidating sideways making me sleepy, support around 0.6121 held without breaking, buying pressure got stronger, so I suggested going long, bullish but don't chase, wait for a pullback. At that time, I just thought it was a normal rebound, didn't dare to expect much, just take a bite if possible.
This morning I opened the market and 0.7263 directly slapped me with +933.67%, nailed it. Everyone in the car must have woken up laughing, it was worth the wait. The earlier hesitation was real, but the outcome is really sweet.
Position management: take profit on 70% first to secure gains, keep 30% at cost price as protection, let profits run if it continues to rise, and if it pulls back, don't give back the profits.
Better to miss a limit-up than to catch a falling knife and end up bleeding. The premise of compounding is staying alive; shortcuts to getting rich often lead to zero.
If you haven't gotten on board yet, don't get carried away. Now is not the time to rush; wait for a more comfortable position in the next round. Move only when the next signal appears, and watch for the new structure.
$ZEC $BTC BTC surges past 80,000: The real importance is not how much it has risen, but whether 80,000 can hold
BTC climbed steadily from 75,982, then accelerated noticeably, reaching a high of 81,740, and currently remains around 81,350. Compared to the breakthrough test near 78,000 yesterday, this round has completed crossing the key price range, with the short-term structure clearly entering a strong phase.
The 15-minute MA5, MA10, and MA20 are all running above 81,000, and the Bollinger middle band has also risen to 81,135. The first resistance now is at 81,450–81,740; if volume breaks through the previous high, the market will next watch the 82,000 whole number level.
More critical support below is at 81,000–80,800. As long as the pullback holds, it indicates that the chips after the breakout are still being supported healthily; if it falls back below 80,500, caution is needed for profit-taking after this sharp rise.
Notably, the real large volume was concentrated during the breakthrough of the 80,000 mark, after which the price consolidated at a high level but volume quickly declined.
This makes the next choice crucial: a volume breakout above 81,740 means the trend continues; high volume but failed breakout warns that short-term funds may start to cash out. $BTC This trade capitalizes on the short-sellers returning after a small-cap pulse rebound. $LAB has thin liquidity; after a surge, the buying pressure can't hold. Once sentiment fades, the decline is much smoother than the rise. 10x leverage profits roll quickly during the downtrend, but watch out for sudden spikes caused by short-covering.
The focus now shifts from offense to defense. Trailing stop profits must keep pace, locking in gains in batches, leaving only the base position for observation. Closely monitor order book support and rebound volume; if the drop slows, volume increases on a rebound, or a long lower shadow appears to sweep stop losses, reduce positions or exit immediately. Unrealized gains are just numbers; securing profits is the real return—don't give back the profits you've made to the market. $ZEC $SOL #BTC returns to $80,000, with capital conditions showing recovery Bitcoin rebounds to 80,000, liquidity is recovering, but the real battle hasn't started yet
Brothers, Er Gou is barely holding on. Bitcoin pulled back from 75,000 to 81,000 within two days, reclaiming the 50-week moving average. Galaxy Research head Alex Thorn said that historically, breaking through this line is an important signal confirming a temporary bottom. Liquidity is also warming up simultaneously; on September 17, Bitcoin spot ETFs saw a net inflow of $159 million, with BlackRock's IBIT alone contributing $184 million.
But don't get excited too soon. On September 15 and 16, Bitcoin ETFs had a combined net outflow exceeding $740 million, with $450 million leaving in just one day. The $159 million inflow barely covers a fraction of that.
More interestingly, funds are rotating. Ethereum and XRP ETFs continue to see outflows, while money is flowing into ZEC—the privacy sector. ZEC broke through $1,350, squeezing out a $51.5 million institutional short position. This indicates that funds haven't left the crypto market; they're just changing direction.
There are three key variables currently: first, whether ETF funds can sustain their return rather than being a one-day event; second, whether Bitcoin can close above the 50-week moving average on the weekly chart; third, whether the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates again in October.
Strategy: 80,000 is a critical support and resistance level, not a safety cushion. Only if it holds can we talk about 82,000 or even higher; if it doesn't hold, we need to reassess the nature of this rebound.
$BTC $ETH Term Structure Radar
$BTC annualized basis at three expiration points is relatively flat: near-term, mid-term, and long-term annualized basis are +4.63%/+4.97%/+4.98% respectively; the raw spread of the near-term contract relative to the index is +$61.3. The annualized pricing differences across the three terms are small, and the term premium does not show a clear widening.

Just now, when Ethereum surged,
I was actually a bit overwhelmed watching the market.
The price rose steadily from around 2630 to above 2650,
with each bullish candle pushing higher, bears tried to suppress it but were immediately eaten up by bulls.
Now the most interesting part of the market is here
Around 2652, it has already touched the upper Bollinger Band,
with the previous high at 2663 right overhead.
To put it simply, the next dozen or so points might be where bulls and bears truly wrestle.
If 2663 breaks out with volume and holds steady,
this momentum, once sustained, could very likely push the price further up in the short term;
but if it tries several times and can't break through, I would be cautious,
since after continuous rallies, profit-taking could come crashing down at any time.
My current feeling in one sentence:
Don't get your blood pumping just because of the red candles in front of you, and don't exit early out of fear of a pullback. I’m not interested in guessing whether $BTC hits $82K or $60K first. What caught my attention on this liquidation heatmap is the amount of liquidity sitting on both sides of the current range. Above price, we have notable liquidation clusters around $75K–$82K, while a much heavier liquidity zone is visible around $60K–$65K. That creates a dangerous environment for traders. A push toward $80K–$82K could trigger short liquidations and fuel a squeeze higher. But if BTC loses the lower structure, th$ZEC perpetual 50x long position, opened at 841.51, now at 1563.96, floating profit +4292.58%.
Market observation: ZEC previously strongly broke through the $1000 psychological barrier, then consolidated in the 1250-1300 resistance zone. Recently, with ETF capital inflows and Paradigm's position disclosure, the price surged with volume to break through the 1400-1500 resistance area. Around 1550-1560 is the largest short liquidation cluster in the derivatives market (about $20.4 million short liquidity). A large number of shorts have been continuously stopped out and covered (a major short has lost nearly $10 million), forming a classic short squeeze rally.
Rapid short squeeze phase. I followed up with a long position at 841.51 (confirmed by breakout retest), with a stop loss set at 780 covering liquidity. 50x leverage strictly controlled at 1% position size.
Current price is charging straight to 1560, moving stop loss up to 1450. After breaking 1500, the upper space opens, targeting 1770-1800, but will never chase the top during the accelerated surge phase. $ONE $AKE What BTC truly deserves attention for may not be the price, but the volatility.
On September 18, BTC DVOL was only 35.6, at the 2.8% historical percentile, extremely low volatility.
Even more interestingly, the DVOL premium has reached -12.3, about the 4.6% historical percentile.
In historical samples, after such an extreme low for 90 days:
📈 Median increase +20.5%
Probability of increase about 87%.
The quieter the market, the more it is often worth being wary of the next big swing.
What is missing now may just be a catalyst. #闪迪涨近11%，下周纳入标普100
On 9.18, SanDisk surged sharply
Closed at 1791.82, daily increase of 10.99%, intraday high reached 1797, with a violent surge in the final moments of the session, volume ratio 2.13, turnover 30.871 billion, turnover rate 12.32%.
1. Full-day trend: After a high open in the morning, it oscillated upward; multiple sideways consolidations mid-session digested profit-taking; in the last hour of trading, volume expanded and price surged straight up. The MACD intraday red bars expanded sharply, a typical sign of concentrated buying at the close, driven by the previously mentioned quadruple witching day Gamma squeeze plus index inclusion front-running funds.
2. After-hours: Slight continued rise to 1797.999, up only 0.34%, indicating no new incremental buying after hours; short-term bullish momentum was mostly released at the close.
• The late Friday rally was a pulse triggered by passive hedge funds plus index front-running funds, not a gradual trend-buying.
• The 2000 level: a strong psychological and institutional target resistance level
✅ Optimistic scenario: Pre-market high open, storage sector sentiment maintained, opening aided by S&P 100 passive funds, briefly testing the 1980~2000 range but unlikely to hold for long; once touched, a large amount of profit-taking will emerge, causing a pullback after the spike.
Key monitoring points reference
• First resistance: 1940-1970 short-term first profit-taking zone
• Strong resistance: 1980-2000 key reduction zone After this week ended, I wrote a review for myself
After this week ended, I closed the market software and reviewed for an hour, noting three points:
First, my biggest problem is still "itchy hands." In the two days before the FOMC, I wanted to rush in several times to bet on the direction, but I held back—in hindsight, holding back was the right choice. During data weeks, trading one-sidedly results in being shaken out eight times out of ten.
Second, I got too caught up in the "narrative." Arc Chain launch, CLARITY voting, ETF after-hours trading—each event alone was exciting, but combined, the market still followed macro logic. In the future, when seeing positive news, first ask, "Can it really change the flow of funds?" If not, just treat it as background noise.
Third, and most importantly: I recalculated my account. $BTC hovered around 77,000 this week, down quite a bit from the August peak, but my position cost was just over 60,000, so I'm still in profit on paper. This shows one thing—slow is steadier than fast, holding is more effective than active trading.
I'm writing this for myself, but I’m sharing it here as well. How did your trades go this week? Profited or got shaken out? Let's chat in the comments, don’t just keep it to yourself. Shorting doesn't profit from the drop, but from the spot drawdown
Jiang Zhuoer said after a few months, the coin-based profit was 34%.
He assumes the position is fully invested in $ETH spot and has been holding it all along.
What does this number mean:
34% is coin-based, not in USD.
When the coin price rises, the spot gains coins; the shorting part only offsets the drawdown.
What he actually did:
The spot position remains unchanged; after the rise, he opens shorts at the high point.
When the price falls, he closes the short positions, still holding the spot.
The spot is the base position, shorting is a patch.
The patch doesn't make money, it just reduces the base position's losses.
Working backward, in the 92% U-based profit, the majority comes from $ETH's own rise.
The contribution from the short positions is what was saved, not earned.
Counting this saved amount as profit makes the account look better.

#摩根大通称比特币或跑赢黄金 #全球高利率预期再升温 $ETH $SPK perpetual 20x long position, opened at 0.0191, currently at 0.02122, floating profit +221.98%.
Before opening the position, I looked at the 1-hour chart. SPK previously tested and stabilized at the key support of 0.017-0.019 (after the August 19 low of 0.01301, it has rebounded over 39%). The core catalyst comes from Spark integrating USDT Savings Vault into the OKX App (via X Layer), directly connecting tens of millions of exchange users; combined with Spark's treasury-based buyback strategy— as of September 14, the treasury holds $42 million, has repurchased over 143 million SPK tokens, and uses 25% of monthly profits for buybacks, with the ratio still increasing.
The buyback plus exchange entry is a very strong structural support. I followed up with a long position at 0.0191 (breakthrough and retest confirmation), setting a stop loss at 0.018 to prevent a shakeout. Using 20x leverage, I control the position size at 5% for trial and error.
The current price stands above 0.021, moving the stop loss up to 0.0198 to lock in profits. The fundamental turning point combined with technical breakout is an opportunity worth letting profits run. $AKE $ONE $PROS perpetual 20x long position, opened at 0.4192, now at 0.5344, floating profit +549.61%.
A major sentiment reversal has begun. PROS, as the native token of Pharos Network (RWA+RealFi sector), experienced a deep correction after a surge following the mainnet launch in May. Recently, the ecosystem's heat has rebounded, catalyzed by Bitrue spot listing, Binance Wallet DeFi activities (13% annual yield + $300,000 PROS rewards), and AI Agent Carnival incentives. On the chart, a giant whale actively absorbed orders to accumulate at the 0.41-0.42 bottom area, then violently pushed the price above the 0.50 midline.
I followed up with a long position at the stabilized bottom of 0.4192, setting a stop loss at 0.41 to prevent a shakeout. Using 20x leverage, controlling position size at 3% for trial.
The current price is surging straight up, moving the stop loss to 0.50 to protect profits. Exchange listing + ecosystem incentives + RWA narrative resonance create the best window for a short-term breakout. $AKE $ARB $PENGU To be honest, when I opened a short position in the afternoon, the atmosphere was full of optimistic sentiment saying "it will still rise." Some mocked 0.0098 as the "iron bottom," and some even warned "shorting means death." But the market showed that the buying power was like a spent arrow, while the selling quietly devoured the chips.
Gritting my teeth to hold the 50x short position, ignoring the market's spikes up and down. Watching the price plummet from 0.0098 all the way down to 0.007838, the terrifying unrealized profit of 1,001.02% not only eased my anxiety but also confirmed the truth that "when most people are bullish, it is often a risk."
The hardest part of trading is not just predicting the right direction, but holding onto your true self amid the noise and pressure, using logic to overcome emotion. $AKE $G #BTC重返8万美元，资金面出现修复 $GRVT perpetual 20x short position, opened at 0.20312, currently at 0.18495, floating profit +178.90%.
Market observation: The GRVT token economic model has extreme flaws. The top 23 wallets control 99.87% of the total supply, the top 5 wallets hold 92.32%, with a Gini coefficient as high as 0.9957. The current circulation rate is only 11.4%, and the FDV is nearly 9 times the market cap. This extremely centralized and low-liquidity micro-cap token's price discovery is completely dominated by a few whales. Futures trading volume far exceeds spot, making it very easy for large orders to manipulate and dump the price in the opposite direction.
Low circulation + high centralization = very prone to collapse. I entered a short at 0.20312, with a stop loss at 0.23 covering liquidity. The 20x leverage is strictly controlled at 3% position size.
Currently floating profit, moving stop loss up to 0.195. Trend following short on highly centralized, low-circulation tokens to harvest leveraged longs. $ZEC $ONE 2750 is treated as a ceiling because the bears need a psychological anchor. But an anchor is not a mechanism; it only indicates the price level at which chips have changed hands.
The real opposing force is the halving expectation. If the bull market is to last beyond March 2027, starting now means an upward trend for nearly two years, which is not feasible in itself. A more likely explanation is: interest rate hikes suppress valuations, halving delays sentiment, and these two forces push the main upward wave backward.
So what the bears fear is not that the pullback won't come, but that it will come later than expected. Watch the changes in $ETH open interest above 2750; if the price holds steady but short positions do not decrease, the squeezed side will be the bears.
#美联储10月再加息概率破55%
#全球高利率预期再升温 #长端美债5%会成新常态吗？ $ETH $SUI, it's not a grand scheme, and I didn't fully ride the entire market move. This wave of profit isn't explosive, but the feeling of cashing out is still solid.
Last night before going to bed, I glanced at the market. $SUI was around 0.7739, with continuous support showing below. Large funds are quietly positioning. I made a plan, placed many orders, set up defensive stop losses, and then stopped watching the market to rest. Woke up this morning, and the market moved as expected.
Good markets are never made by staring at the screen; they come from patient waiting. Profits aren't made by frequent trading; they come from holding and enduring. Panic during trading stems from not having a plan in advance; losses mostly come from overthinking and subjective assumptions.
The market opened this morning as expected, price reached 0.8291, and the account's floating profit hit +355.98%. Although there was no sharp violent surge, by catching the structural rhythm, trading was especially calm. I first closed 75% of the position to lock in most of the gains, and kept the remaining 25% as the base position, moving the stop loss above the cost line, letting the position run with the trend.
In the market, regardless of profit size, the profit you can safely take away is truly yours. The current entry point has a low cost-performance ratio, so no need to blindly chase. The market never lacks opportunities; wait for the next new structure to form, then look for an entry. This trade is successfully closed. $ZEC $ETH $VIRTUAL perpetual 20x short position, opened at 0.7786, currently at 0.672, floating profit +273.82%.
Before opening the position, I analyzed the market. Although VIRTUAL recently benefited from Solana expansion and the launch of the Occupy platform, its token economic model has fatal flaws. The total supply is 1 billion tokens, with only about 66%-66.5% currently circulating. More dangerously, it is extremely centralized: the top 100 wallets control about 96.8% of the supply, and the top 5 holders account for 88.2% of the market cap. The remaining 34% allocated to the team and ecosystem is under linear unlocking, continuously creating selling pressure.
Extreme control plus linear unlocking is a very strong structural bearish factor. I entered a short position on the rebound to 0.7786, with a stop loss set at 0.82 to prevent spikes. The 20x leverage is strictly controlled at a 3% position size.
The current price has pulled back, and I have moved the stop loss up to 0.72 to protect profits. Shorting the rebound of a highly controlled, low-circulation token is a logic with a naturally favorable risk-reward ratio. $SOL $ZEC $BTC, $ETH and $ZEC are showing a familiar “sell the rumor, buy the fact” reaction. 👀 CPI came in broadly near expectations, easing some of the worst-case inflation fears and helping risk assets rebound after traders had positioned defensively. But one strong reaction doesn't automatically confirm a new trend. 📌 Levels to watch: $BTC → $80.5K $ETH → $2.58K $SOL → $104 If these zones hold alongside rising spot volume, the recovery could gain traction. If volume fades and support breaks, the movTo be honest, in the afternoon when going long at 97.78, the atmosphere was full of pessimistic sentiment saying "it will still drop." Some mocked 100x leverage as a "suicide attack," and some even warned "going long at 100x is a death sentence." But the market showed that the selling pressure was nearly exhausted, and the buying was quietly absorbing the chips. $SOL
Gritting my teeth to hold the 100x long position, ignoring the market's up and down spikes. Watching the price surge from 97.78 all the way to 112.27, the terrifying 1,480.87% unrealized profit not only made up for the fatigue of staying up late but also confirmed the truth that "when most people are bearish, it is often an opportunity."
The hardest part of trading is not predicting the right direction, but holding onto your true self amid the noise and pressure, using logic to overcome emotions. $AKE $ZEC #BTC重返8万美元，资金面出现修复 $ZEN No vision, can't hold on, the profit this time is as thin as paper, but I love it to death. Just after lunch when I was watching the market, I was hesitating whether to run first, but then it pushed up again, and my account was dancing on its own.
Just after lunch when I was watching the market, ZEN's support didn't break, the bottom was consolidating sideways, the pullback held steady, buying pressure strengthened, and there were buyers below. I judged that the long position could still be held, so I signaled to be bullish, but not to go heavy, and to protect well. At that time, I said don't rush to chase.
From 7.233 to 7.955, +497.71%, it was worth the wait. The earlier part was really slow, but the outcome is really sweet. This profit feels comfortable, those on board should have woken up laughing, the rhythm was just right.
Take profit on 70% first, keep the remaining 30% at cost price for protection, let the profit run if it continues to rise, and don't let the profit become uncomfortable if it falls back. Take profit when you should, don't be greedy for the last bit, brothers pay attention to profits.
Don't lose patience in the volatility and then try to regain dignity in a one-sided move. The money you make is the realization of your understanding; the money you lose is the flaw in your understanding.
For friends who haven't gotten on board yet, listen to me, now is not the time to rush, chasing highs easily leaves you stuck at the peak. Wait for a more comfortable position in the next round. The market is not short of opportunities, it lacks patience. When the next signal comes, I will notify you immediately.
$ADA $XRP $XPL perpetual 50x short position, opened at 0.09416, currently at 0.09105, floating profit +165.14%.
On the 1-hour chart, XPLUS forms a clear supply zone around 0.094. Although it has the SocialFi+AI narrative and the ecosystem backing of the stablecoin L1 (Plasma), the tokenomics have serious flaws: circulation rate is only 26%-27%, and on September 25th, over 60% of the circulating team/investor shares will be unlocked. Derivatives data shows more long liquidations than shorts, indicating strong willingness of bulls to close positions.
This is a typical case of "short-term positive stimulus + long-term massive unlocking selling pressure" triggering capital flight. I followed up with a short at 0.09416, placing a stop loss at 0.10 to prevent a spike. Using 50x leverage with only 1% position size.
The trailing stop has been moved to 0.093. Using fundamental unlocking bearish news and thin liquidity to short and harvest the rebound bulls. $AKE $ARB The trend of $ARB clearly shows it doesn't want the bears to survive.
From what I remember, after I opened a short position at 0.134, there was a period when I was in profit. At that time, I thought that position was the top, so I didn't exit. Unexpectedly, the current price is nearly double the entry price.
Before the pump, ARB was almost invisible and couldn't form its own independent trend. How did it suddenly turn into a golden phoenix? Clearly, the dog whales were well prepared for this move.
No matter how the pump happens, I believe the essence remains the same: any altcoin pump is basically the dog whales accumulating enough chips at low prices, and the purpose of the pump is just to distribute chips at high prices.
Therefore, I treat all the positive news during the rise as negative. The more and bigger the good news, the closer it is to the top. Without positive news, how would retail investors rush in to catch the falling knife?
I dare to keep my short position on ARB precisely because there has been too much good news recently. If there were no news at all, I wouldn't dare to hold it. The same logic applies to $ZEC and $UNI. Sometimes, a trend reversal can happen in just a second.

#ZEC逼近1600美元，多空博弈升温 $AAVE perpetual 50x long position, opened at 132.93, current mark price 146.62, floating profit +514.93%.
Before opening the position, I reviewed the 1-hour chart; around 133 is a repeatedly tested order block (OB). The price retraced to this area and formed a long lower shadow, clearly rejecting further downside.
This signal indicates institutional buying concentrated at this cost zone. After confirming the order block support is valid, I entered a long position at 132.93, with risk control in place, strictly managing position size at 50x high leverage to avoid the risk of stop-hunting caused by high leverage.
The market then surged upward, breaking through resistance above, and I immediately moved the trailing stop loss up to 138 to lock in profits. Finding the right order block in trading essentially means aligning with the cost positions of large capital and riding the main trend. $ZEC $BTC The weekend was quite lively for this line — XRP spot trading volume reached roughly $1.36 billion to $1.4 billion, with the price rising about 7% to 8%, touching around $1.41. In public reports, many people link this surge with the short squeeze after $BTC hit 80,000: when the market risk appetite rises, high-beta altcoins jump along.
My view: The volume is real, but don’t just focus on the price increase. Contract trading volume is still several times that of spot, and leverage remains; combined with the fact that monthly inflows into spot XRP ETFs are still relatively strong, though there was a slight single-day net outflow, indicating institutional buying hasn’t finished but it’s not a nonstop green light either. It’s more like "weekend follow-up rally + volume confirmation," not yet a confirmed independent bull market narrative.
Do you think XRP can hold above 1.4 when the market opens next week, or will it first give back the weekend gains? Share your thoughts in the comments.
Risk reminder: The above is a summary of public market data and does not constitute investment advice. Volatility is high, so don’t get carried away.
$XRP $BTC #XRP #Ripple #BTC #SpotVolumeIncrease #ShortSqueeze #ETFCapitalFlow #WeekendMarketThe Fear and Greed Index has reached 71, entering the greed zone, but the most unusual detail about $F today is: a 24h surge of 27.50%, yet the funding rate is -0.3141%, meaning shorts are paying longs. This "price rise + negative funding rate" combination usually indicates the increase is driven by spot or short covering, rather than crowded leveraged longs; the short squeeze structure is not yet complete.
However, the technicals do not support chasing the rally. MA5=0.0042484 has crossed below MA20=0.0045687, the MACD histogram at -0.0001087 is bearish, and RSI is only 50.1, indicating this rally is a recovery from oversold territory, with momentum indicators not yet confirming a trend reversal. The upper Bollinger Band at 0.00549 is previous high resistance, the lower band at 0.00365 is support for pullbacks, 30 candlesticks show a 57.89% amplitude, indicating extremely high volatility. On the broader market level, $BNB only rose 1.80%, RSI 65.4 close to the upper Bollinger Band at 767.78, showing mainstream funds have not fully attacked; $F's independent rally relies more on its own short squeeze logic. Once BTC weakens, the pullback of high-volatility small-cap coins will be amplified.
Directionally, I am bullish but only buy on dips, not chasing highs. $AAVE perpetual 50x long position, opened at 128.31, now at 146.45, floating profit +706.88%.
Before opening the position, I looked at the 1-hour chart; AAVE previously tested the key support at 120-125 and stabilized (in September, the price once dropped to 119.45 before consecutively closing bullish and reversing). The core catalyst comes from Aavenomics 3.0, officially activated on June 29: 100% of Aave Protocol + GHO revenue (annualized about $402 million) is automatically routed to AAVE buybacks, approximately 292 tokens repurchased daily, and the removal of committee discretion, hardcoding value capture into the protocol architecture. Combined with the implementation of the "Aave Will Win" framework and the SEC's four-year investigation closing without enforcement.
Structural value capture upgrade + buyback support. I followed up with a long position at 128.31 (tested support and volume breakout), setting a stop loss at 122 to prevent a spike. Using only 1% position size to test with extremely high 50x leverage.
Current price stands above 146, moving stop loss up to 135 to lock in profits. The fundamental turning point combined with technical breakout is an institutional-level opportunity worth letting profits run. $ZEC $AKE #BTC重返8万美元，资金面出现修复 #BTC重返8万美元，资金面出现修复 #闪迪涨近11%，下周纳入标普100
$SNDK is absolutely crazy, surging 11% straight up, closing near 1792, almost breaking through 1800.
I think today's big bullish candle isn't just a simple rebound in the AI storage sector; at least three factors are pushing it together:
1. The most important is the S&P 100 rebalancing.
Next Monday, SanDisk officially enters the S&P 100. Today is the last trading day before it takes effect. Index funds have to buy their positions, and quant and arbitrage funds will also rush in early. Simply put, a bunch of capital is scrambling to get the shares before Monday, and this is what I’m most focused on.
2. Options added fuel to the fire again.
Today, there was a large SNDK call buying in the market, with $41 million concentrated on the October 2nd 1600 calls. The time is short and the strike is high; if market makers sell these calls, they might be forced to keep buying the underlying stock to hedge, buying more as the price rises, which can push the rally even further.
3. The storage sector itself is also rebounding.
Recently, $MU and $SKHYNIX have also made moves, but SNDK is clearly running more aggressively, indicating that capital is still more willing to pile onto the leader.
So I think the key today isn’t a sudden major positive news, but the combination of index fund front-running + options boost + storage sector recovery all hitting at once.
But 1800 is right ahead, after an 11% rise, I’m not too brave to chase it. Let’s first see if the buying can hold after the index officially lands on Monday.
