Global capital giants swallowed 17% of the circulating supply, the Fed rate cut powder keg ignited, and Bitcoin officially enters a new era of fiat currency depreciation hedging.
$124,050! History was completely rewritten on August 14, 2025. Bitcoin surged 3.4% in a single day, crushing all short defenses with overwhelming force. This breakthrough is no coincidence; three nuclear-level catalysts are pushing Bitcoin into a new dimension.
1 Institutional whales' feast, 17% of circulating supply is monopolistically plundered
While retail investors hesitate, institutional whales have opened their bloody mouths. The latest on-chain data shocks the market:
Corporate + sovereign fund holdings exceed 3.64 million BTC, accounting for over 17% of the total circulating supply, forming an unprecedented supply black hole.
Spot Bitcoin ETF absorbed $3.6 billion in one month, buying pressure continuously pushes prices higher
Norwegian sovereign wealth fund's indirect holdings surged to 7,161 BTC, a historical peak
MicroStrategy's 628,000 Bitcoin (worth $74.2 billion) is just the tip of the iceberg. The real change is that Bitcoin's balance sheet is becoming the new standard for listed companies.
2 Fed nuclear-level shift, 50 basis point rate cut expectations ignite the powder keg
U.S. CPI data reveals its fangs:
July inflation rate at 2.7% lower than expected, but core CPI soared to 3.1%, economy trapped in the abyss of stagflation
The probability of the Fed cutting rates in September skyrocketed to 93.7%, with the interest rate cliff looming ahead
Even crazier is U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's outrageous statement: "The Fed should cut rates by 50 basis points immediately!" This candidate for the next Fed chair appointed by Trump ignited the fuse for global risk assets with a single sentence.
A historic moment arrives: Bitcoin's year-to-date return reaches 28%, perfectly matching gold. This means digital gold officially stands on equal footing with traditional safe-haven assets!
3 Altcoin slaughterhouse activated, countdown to million-fold leverage massacre
Funds are undergoing a bloody switch:
Ethereum surged 9% in a single day, breaking through $4,700, while Cardano and Solana collectively soared 8%
On Deribit, $140,000 call options open interest exceeds $3 billion, bloodthirsty bulls bet on a year-end sprint
But the death trap has already been laid:
"Bitcoin's daily line shows a double top formation; if the neckline at 111982 is broken, it could plunge to the 100,000 mark"
Leverage liquidation alarm sounded: A 10% rise in Bitcoin will trigger $18 billion in short liquidations, forming a death spiral. Countless high-leverage contracts are dancing on a powder keg!
Old Zhu's operational strategy guide
Bitcoin:
Buy on dips at 122800/122000 in batches (just like haggling while buying vegetables, the lower the price, the more you should increase your positions), target 124500-125000; a breakthrough may directly propel it to 130,000!
Ethereum:
Go long at positions 4700 and 4650 with closed eyes, consider reducing positions around 4780-4800, it's a sure thing.
Old Zhu's personal opinion
The market now resembles a boiling pot of oil; any slight positive news can cause an explosion. But remember the mantra: "Do not chase highs during a rapid rise; a pullback is your father!" Refer to the May market, after breaking the high, it consolidated for three days and then surged 20%. History doesn’t simply repeat but always follows a rhythm.
