August CPI YoY 3.4%—in line with expectations; month-on-month **+0.4%**, slightly higher than the expected 0.3%; core CPI +2.6%, also in line with expectations.
Conclusion: not good news, not bad news—it’s “hot enough, but not too hot.”
Last week’s nonfarm payrolls came in +147,000, far above expectations; today’s CPI MoM +0.4% was also higher than expected—together, they provide the conditions for the Fed to “raise rates,” but not to “have to raise rates.”
My view: hold steady on September 16, but the probability of a rate hike in December is rising.
There’s only one reason: oil prices.
Brent was at $99.36 yesterday; the Kharg Island was just hit—this isn’t something CPI can reflect. It reflects prices from July and August, not today. If the situation in the Strait of Hormuz continues, October CPI will be the real problem.
Current positioning: long gold.
$XAUT today around $4,420—CPI in line with expectations plus a slight weakening in the dollar provides support for gold here. Rate-hike expectations aren’t further heating up, so the upside for gold isn’t capped.
$82,470 is BTC’s 50-week moving average, and also the most important line of this year. If it closes above that level, this bear market is officially confirmed as over; if it doesn’t, after the market digests tonight’s CPI data, the answer will be revealed.

MARSCOIN has been absolutely out of control for the past half month—after Binance listed the spot trading with the “Seed” tag, it exploded and surged. It hit a historical high of 0.2634 on September 5. Since then, it has been violently oscillating at high levels. At 21:41 on September 11, I placed a short at 0.1214 with 20x leverage. The price bounced back to 0.13241 and I closed the position; the return was -182.67%.
I was betting on “the pullback from the peak isn’t done yet.” The directional judgment wasn’t totally wrong, but the issue is that these newly listed tokens with the Seed tag have ridiculously high volatility. When I chased the short, I didn’t accurately account for how strong the rebound would be. This surge smashed straight through my stop-loss.
Now MARSCOIN has fallen from its ATH and is down more than half, but the chart is still showing wide-range volatility rather than a one-way downtrend. For this kind of coin, both chasing and killing can easily get you hit on both ends. If you want to bottom-pick or top-pick, you first need to figure out whether it’s truly a trend reversal or just a high-level shakeout.
This loss isn’t really unfair—I simply underestimated the rebound strength. New listings with the Seed tag are already riskier to play with leverage. If you lose, just accept it. Next time I’ll control the position size even more tightly.

Enflame Technology (Enflame) listed on the Sci-Tech Innovation Board today, code 688801—China’s “four little dragons” of AI chips, the last one. Tencent owns 18% of the company and is also the source of 84% of its revenue.
Retail investors subscribed 4,073 times over, with 7 million people competing for 430,000 shares.
Here’s a question worth asking:
When investors buy—are they buying the “AI chip” narrative, or a Tencent-exclusive supplier?
The difference matters.
If it’s the former: Enflame must be able to survive independently as it faces Nvidia’s export restrictions, competition from Huawei, and the pressure to take sides from the U.S. AI camp.
If it’s the latter: Tencent’s capital expenditures rose by 176%, and Enflame’s orders rise accordingly—yet this logic is tied to Tencent’s fate.
Reference for similar U.S. targets: CXMT (Changxin Memory) jumped 472% on its first day this year, and has since pulled back by about 40%.
So what will Enflame’s first-day gain be today?

September 8: Golden cross officially confirmed— the 50-day moving average has crossed above the 200-day moving average, the first time since November 2025.
In the same day, the August CPI data has just been released.
First, let’s talk about the golden cross.
This is the 12th golden cross in Bitcoin’s history. Here are the results from the previous 11: 3 times it held for more than a year, with an average return of +250%; the other 8 times, it reversed within two months— the success rate is not 100%, it has never been.
But one number matters more today: three-week net inflows of $3.8 billion into ETFs; total ETF assets have broken $101.3 billion.
A golden cross is a lagging indicator. It confirms an uptrend that has already happened—not a guarantee that prices will keep rising.
Today’s CPI is one of the most important data points of the year. If it’s below expectations, $82,000 opens up; if it’s above expectations, $76,500 comes back into view.
The golden cross gives longs confidence, while CPI gives longs or shorts ammo.
The 8:30 numbers today matter more than the golden cross.

XAN went live on September 29 last year. The team and foundation’s tokens are locked for 12 months. With the unlocking window just around the corner, the market has clearly been weaker these past few days. On September 11 at 11:44, this short entry was at 0.01192—50x short. It closed flat at 0.0116528, for a return of +107.11%.
The bet was on the old logic of "unlock is imminent, sell pressure comes first." The combined amount locked by the team, the foundation, and supporters is over half of the float. It’s normal for the market to react ahead of time, so I added another short in line with that.
Now XAN has already fallen from more than three to around 1.2 since launch—a drop of over 60%. The real unlocking window hasn’t officially opened yet. Over the next period, sell pressure likely hasn’t fully been released. Anyone holding should be clear about that—don’t expect it to bottom out right now.
This trade won because it nailed the unlocking expectation as the main storyline; it wasn’t a blind guess. What it captured was the most common crypto-market playbook: "bearish news priced in early."

SEC approves new rules for Nasdaq Texas— in an official document, it gave examples of BTC, ETH, SOL, and XRP as "digital commodities."
First, let’s clarify what this is not:
This is not a new law, not the SEC declaring that four coins are "permanently legal," and not the CLARITY Act. It’s simply an amendment to an exchange listing rule. It allows a commodity trust to hold up to 15% digital commodity assets, and it also removes the requirement for passive management.
So what is it:
In an official filing, the SEC uses BTC, ETH, SOL, and XRP as examples to explain what counts as a "digital commodity"—where value comes from protocol operations and supply and demand, rather than from others’ management efforts. The legal meaning of those four words is: "not a security."
Nasdaq, NYSE Arca, and Cboe had already been approved for the same rule in July, and Texas is the fourth—showing that the framework is spreading, not a one-off case.
The CLARITY Act is still stalled in the Senate, but regulators are already drawing the boundaries with real-world actions.
These four coins are named in the SEC’s documents today.
Which one do you think benefits the most?

August PPI is out today: the headline month-on-month figure of +0.4% meets expectations, with year-on-year at 5.4%, slightly above the expected 5.3%.
But core PPI month-on-month is +0.2%, below expectations of +0.3%—that’s the dovish part today.
Once you strip out energy, inflation is actually not too bad.
The problem is: you can’t strip out energy.
Diesel prices rose 24.1% in August alone. WTI broke $100 today. These costs are filtering downstream.
The headline number is “in line with expectations,” but the trend of energy pushing inflation higher is not over yet.
Tomorrow’s August CPI is one of the most important data points of the year.
Core CPI below expectations → the rate-hike probability for September falls from 70%+ → BTC gets some breathing room; headline CPI higher than expected due to oil prices → rate hikes continue to be priced in → $76,500 comes back into view.
For tonight’s positioning—do you dare hold through tomorrow at 8:30?

#美国8月ppi涨幅低于预期

IOST rode a roller coaster these two days—on the 9th, a coin-burning announcement sparked a violent surge, with the price climbing over 100% at its peak within 24 hours. On the evening of the 10th, it started dropping sharply again. On September 11 at 10:43, this trade went short at 0.0009788 with a 50x position; it was closed flat at 0.0010149, for a return of -206.37%.
I was betting that “after a big spike, it would give back.” My directional judgment was actually right—the problem was that I entered too late. By the time I chased in, most of this downswing had already played out, and I ended up crashing straight into an oversold rebound. The short position was simply blown through.
For coins like IOST that rely on a coin-burning narrative, the volatility is absurd. In just two days, the market seesaws from a half-and-half kind of move to a rebound. Whether you chase or sell into rallies, it’s easy to get slapped in the face. Playing high-leverage on this kind of setup is basically betting on two sides of a coin. If you can’t control your position size, one misstep can wipe out everything you earned before.
A loss is a loss—there’s nothing to dress it up. It’s simply that I got the timing wrong: I shorted while chasing the bounce right at its starting point.

CPI comes out at 8:30 PM ET tonight, but the market has already run ahead of it this morning.
August PPI annualized at 5.4%, far above expectations. At the same time, oil prices have broken above $105, the highest level since 2024. BTC fell from 78,000 to an intraday low of 76,663, with XRP, SOL, and ETH all pulling back in sync.
What the market did was price in a scenario of “inflation hotter than expected” using PPI data before CPI even arrived.
That logic makes sense, but there’s one important detail worth unpacking.
PPI is the Producer Price Index, measuring costs on the producer side. CPI measures prices on the consumer side. There is a correlation, but it’s not a direct transmission—rising producer costs don’t necessarily get fully passed through to consumers, especially when consumer demand is weak. In such an environment, companies often choose to compress profit margins rather than raise prices.
August PPI is “hot” at 5.4%, which boosts concerns about CPI. But whether that concern is valid remains to be seen from tonight’s data.
From a technical perspective, BTC tagged 76,663 today—that’s the lower end of a structural support range. 76,757 is the key support level marked by analysts. At this spot, both scenarios are equally real: if CPI comes in soft, today’s drop would be a “PPI-induced overreaction,” and 76,663 could become a great entry point in hindsight. If CPI comes in hot and 76,663 breaks, the next test level is 72,000.
Oil at $105 is another variable worth watching today. Higher oil prices push inflation, which pushes rate-hike expectations, which pushes the dollar. A stronger dollar puts pressure on risk assets—this transmission chain is currently in play. If oil stays above $105, even if tonight’s CPI is soft, it will still add an unresolved question mark to the inflation outlook.
Before tonight’s CPI is released, any price level for BTC between 76,663 and 78,000 is a wait-and-see zone—not a direction.
Do you think tonight’s CPI will be softer than market expectations? If it is, is this PPI-driven pullback an opportunity? Share your view.

BTC opens today at $78,291. Resistance above lies at $82,000 to $82,700. Support below lies at $77,000.
71% of the BTC supply is currently in profit, close to the historical average of 74.7%. It’s not at the level of the top signal yet, but it has entered the range where “holders have enough profit to choose to sell.”
Tomorrow’s CPI is the most important single data point this week. Break down its impact on BTC into three paths and make the logic clear.
First path: CPI comes in softer than expected (core inflation below 3.4%).
Rate-hike expectations cool off quickly. With 60.5% probability, the odds of more hikes will move lower. BTC gets a macro breather and challenges the $80,000 to $82,000 resistance range. This is the scenario where the Waller dovish condition holds and BlackRock’s $731 million reverse positioning is validated.
Second path: CPI is broadly in line with expectations (core inflation around 3.4%).
With no new basis for pricing, the market continues to trade sideways in the $77,600 to $79,200 range, waiting for the next directional signal from the September 15 CLARITY Act and the September 16 FOMC. This is the “most boring” outcome, but also the most probable.
Third path: CPI comes in hotter than expected (core inflation above 3.5%).
The odds of rate hikes could jump to two-thirds. BTC faces pressure to retest the $77,000 support. The $81.5 million net long positions stacked in futures could trigger a chain liquidation. In the worst case, it would test the $76,757 structural support.
Based on today’s market pricing, there’s an 86% probability BTC will hit $78,000 before September 13, and a 68% probability it will hit $80,000. The market’s assumption for the baseline scenario is the second path, not the first.
There’s also PPI data out today. PPI doesn’t directly determine CPI, but if PPI runs hot, it could cause the market to price tomorrow’s CPI in at a discount earlier, increasing the odds of the third path being priced.
BlackRock’s IBIT currently holds a $10.14 billion BTC ETF. Over the past 30 days, there were net inflows of $357.5 million. This batch of funds won’t retreat just because of a single CPI print, but directionally it could influence the decision of whether to chase gains in the short term or wait for a pullback.
Tomorrow at 8:30 a.m. ET, one of the three paths will be selected.
Which one are you betting on? Share the core logic behind your view.

SNDK’s latest SanDisk stock token contract: this recent super cycle in memory chips pushed the stock price to an all-time high of over $1,700. At 19:14 on September 10, this short entered at 1761.94, using 75x leverage on the short. It was closed at 1749.08, for a return of +51.76%.
The bet here is: “If it goes this high, it has to take a breather.” For assets that get lifted sky-high by an AI narrative, short-term pullbacks are the norm. The steeper the rally, the harsher the pullback is often. So from the high, a quick in-and-out short was placed.
Right now, the whole storage-chip sector is going crazy under this logic. Micron and other stocks in the same space are also rising along with it. The trend itself hasn’t broken, but chasing longs from this position—above $1,700—makes the risk-reward ratio look pretty ugly. For short-term counter-trend rebound plays with high leverage, the risks are significant, so position sizing must be strictly controlled.
This trade is simply a high-level sentiment/overextension gamble, and it doesn’t mean I’m bearish on this memory-chip cycle. Don’t interpret a single short as a contrarian indicator. Later I’ll also share the real positions—if you want to see them, you can wait and watch.

Break through $500M AUM in two weeks, and on the same day, options trading officially goes live on NYSE Arca.
But behind the numbers is a detail: of the $500M, $100M comes from DCG-affiliated entities, and the amount truly from external markets is only $70M.
This isn’t a violation—it’s part of the ETF standard creation mechanism. But using $500M to gauge the “privacy-vertical demand” is not quite accurate.
The real question is—$70M in two weeks: the world’s first ZEC spot ETF. Is this a cold start or lack of demand?
With options now live, ZEC is trading around $1,180; a year ago it was $42.

Hunter Biden posted today: the LAPTOP Foundation X account was suspended; the team is filing an appeal and temporarily switched to Medium to share updates.
But this isn’t the most important LAPTOP news of the day.
On the same day, the foundation announced:
4 million tokens will be deployed as liquidity incentives, and another 10 million will be permanently burned.
The X account being banned is just the surface—what matters is the change to the token economy. Of the 14 million tokens, some are used to incentivize liquidity, and some are directly burned, permanently reducing the total supply.
$0.05 is the initial liquidity pool price, but when it launched, it was hit by a large number of bots rushing in first—this is the background behind today’s account suspension and the redeployment of tokens.
The team’s stance is very clear: "We will not exit the LAPTOP project."
Whether the X account can be restored is a matter of 48–72 hours, but the token burn is permanent.
Which matters more—these two things?

The Ministry of Finance announced today that tomorrow it will repurchase $60 billion in Treasury bonds—three times the normal size.
Then the 10-year yield climbed to 4.85%, the highest since November 2023.
The logic is upside down: when the government steps in to support the market, the market falls instead.
There’s only one reason: the market expected $6 billion to $10 billion, but Bessent gave the floor.
As PGIM’s strategist put it very directly—
"Because the size was at the bottom of market expectations, we saw a negative reaction."
Behind this is a bigger problem: the U.S. needs to borrow $1.8 trillion every year, and a $6 billion buyback is just a drop in the bucket. The Ministry of Finance is using the smallest tool in its toolbox to deal with an ever-growing issue.
With 10-year at 4.85% and the 30-year near 5.3%—these two numbers are weighing on BTC, weighing on tech stocks, and weighing on all assets that don’t generate returns.
Tomorrow’s CPI is one of the most important data releases this year.
If the number comes in below expectations, yields fall and BTC gets to breathe; if it comes in above expectations, $76,500 is back in view.

#美财政部拟回购最多60亿美元国债

VTHOUSDT These last two days the typical impulsive price action—after surging up, it gets smashed back down quickly. On September 10 at 9:25, this short order was entered at 0.0005533, using 20x leverage. It was closed at 0.0005082, with a return of +161.10%.
The bet was that “the high-chase won’t hold.” These narrative-driven micro-caps are tightly linked to hype—when they’re rising fast, the leveraged longs pile in just as quickly. Once the upward momentum exhausts and it tops out, the pullback speed is often even faster than the initial ramp. Following this rhythm, I shorted it the other way.
Now, volatility in these small-cap tokens has clearly amplified. The pattern of “impulsive pump + rapid giveback” keeps repeating, and the group that chased longs is likely still standing guard in the high area. If you haven’t entered, don’t think shorts are easy money and blindly follow—if you mis-time the rhythm, you’ll get liquidated just as easily.
This trade won because the pullback timing was nailed. It’s purely a technical short-term scalp—no long-term bearish thesis. Take profit when it’s good.

BTC is hovering around 79,000 to 80,000, and everyone is watching what will happen when CPI comes out tomorrow.
But today I’d rather talk about a piece of data most people ignore: over the past 7 days, futures buyers have net entered with $81.5 million, while spot buyers are net selling $8.2 million.
Futures are buying, spot is selling—this is a signal, not a direction.
When futures drive the price higher but spot fails to follow, it usually means several things are true at the same time: first, this upswing is being built with leverage—not real buy-side demand; second, spot holders are using the price rise to distribute, not add to positions; third, the market’s “elasticity” is getting more brittle—the more leverage there is, the faster liquidation accelerates once the direction reverses.
CoinMarketCap’s research director Alice Liu said: “The market is carrying a lot of leverage, but it hasn’t paid a high price yet.”
The numbers from the prediction market are quite straightforward: there’s an 86% probability that BTC will touch 78,000 before September 13, and a 68% probability it will touch 80,000 at the same time—this combination suggests the market expects a path of first dipping to 78,000, then seeing whether it can get back to 80,000, rather than moving in a straight line upward.
$76,757 is structural support, and $80,571 is the decision resistance—BTC is currently trapped between these two price levels. PPI comes out today, CPI tomorrow, the CLARITY Act the day after tomorrow, and FOMC the day after that—four catalysts in four consecutive days, and each one can pry open a crack in the structure built by leverage.
What I’m most worried about isn’t that any single data point comes in above expectations—it’s that two of the four data points turn negative at the same time. In that scenario, the $81.5 million net long exposure in futures could turn into sell orders forced by liquidation in a very short time, affecting price more directly than any fundamental analysis.
Leverage isn’t a bad thing—it reflects market confidence. But before these four data releases come out, leverage is sitting there while spot is distributing—together, this makes me feel that the relatively cheaper move right now is to adjust your position to a state where you don’t need to stare at the candlestick chart every four hours.
Has anyone in the square felt the contradiction of “futures-driven but spot doesn’t acknowledge it”? Share how you’re responding.

On September 9, BTC traded sideways in a narrow range around 78,000 to 80,000.
This week, there are two events, and the probability of each is roughly 50/50—and both are scheduled to play out this week.
First: September 11 CPI. Kalshi currently has the probability of a September rate hike at 50% versus 49%; Polymarket is also 50% versus 50%, with over $100 million worth of prediction contracts bet on both directions. BBH’s Global Markets Strategy Director Haddad says: if CPI comes in hot, lock in a September rate hike and a stronger dollar; if CPI comes in soft, the market reprices dovishly and the dollar weakens. There’s no middle ground.
Second: September 15 CLARITY Act cloture vote. At 2:15 a.m. Beijing time on September 16, it needs 60 votes for the bill to enter a formal vote. The market has already priced in that the bill will fail—Polymarket via a 13–14% probability, and Kalshi 20–21%. But a "priced-in failure" doesn’t mean a "failure has already been fully digested." If it passes unexpectedly, the released short-covering and fresh buy orders would create a nonlinear price shock.
What do two simultaneous 50/50 events landing within a single week mean for BTC?
Historical data tells us that when CPI hits, BTC volatility is about 1.8x higher than in a typical window within the first 30 minutes, and the effect lasts longer. Nonfarm payrolls drive about 2x volatility, but for a shorter duration. By comparison, BTC’s volatility around the Fed decision is close to baseline, because traders have already positioned themselves before the announcement.
This suggests that this week’s CPI is the single data point most worth watching—not the FOMC on September 16 itself.
BTC is currently trading sideways between 78,000 and 80,000. 77,000 is the key support, and 82,000 is overhead resistance. There are four combined scenarios from the two 50/50 outcomes: soft CPI + CLARITY passes (strongest bullish), soft CPI + CLARITY fails (mild bullish), hot CPI + CLARITY passes (hedged mixed), hot CPI + CLARITY fails (strongest bearish).
What the market is pricing right now is the second scenario—soft CPI, CLARITY fails—which is a neutral setup of "dovish, but without regulatory upside." Any result deviating from that expectation will trigger a clear nonlinear reaction.
With both 50/50 events happening at the same time, it’s one of the highest-volatility weeks for BTC this year.
How are you planning to handle it this week—cut positions to wait for confirmation, or hold and wait for the results? Share your trading logic.

VVV has totally gone berserk this round—new highs are being set all the way, and on September 9 the 24-hour gain briefly pushed above 50%. At 22:29, this order opened at 25.555, a position with more than 24x leverage. It was closed at 25.781, with a return rate of +19.16%.
The bet was: “After a new high breaks, there’s inertia.” For a stock that’s been churning out ATHs all day, when sentiment is hottest, you follow the momentum—no need to overthink whether it’s the left side or the right side. You’re chasing this momentum.
Now VVV’s intraday range has already stretched to nearly 40% (rising from the high teens to around 29). The volatility is outrageous. In this kind of extreme market, you can make money fast—and lose money fast too. The few hours you chase high could be a roller coaster. Position sizing must be controlled; don’t treat a new high as a foolproof “sure win” signal.
This trade was really just catching a short ride when the market was at its craziest. Whether it can keep running this strong isn’t something we can be sure about—but taking profits when you should is always better than getting stuck. Later I’ll also share the real positions; if you want to see, you can wait for it.

Grayscale’s ZCSH ETF breaks through $500M AUM in two weeks, and ZEC today rises above $1,200.
But there’s one detail nobody has clearly explained:
Of the $500M, $100M was injected by DCG (the Grayscale parent company’s affiliated entity itself)—exchanging 85,705 ZEC for ETF shares. The money truly coming from the external market is only $70M.
This isn’t a violation; it’s a common ETF creation mechanism. But using $500M to measure “market demand” isn’t accurate.
So what does the $70M mean?
In two weeks, $70M—this is the global first-ever privacy-coin spot ETF—placed alongside BTC ETFs with sizes that often reach billions, this is a cold start, not a breakout.
But ZEC has risen from $42 on the day it was issued to $1,200 today, +2,300%. Its market cap has entered the top ten.
Arthur Hayes and Bitwise’s Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan have both publicly stated they are bullish on ZEC.
Can $1,200 hold, or will it pull back?
Support is at $1,064; if it breaks, look for $950.

#灰度zcashetf资产突破5亿美元

China’s August CPI year-on-year rose by +0.8%, while PPI year-on-year increased by +3.8%, both within expectations.
But there is one thing worth mentioning separately:
The NBS’s exact wording— the main driver of the rebound in inflation is rising energy prices.
Today Brent is at $99.
China is the world’s largest crude oil importer; higher energy costs directly push up PPI, which then filters through to manufacturing costs and then to the prices of export goods.
For three years, China has been fighting deflation. Now energy has lifted CPI from 0.5% to 0.8%—but this is not driven by consumption recovery; it’s driven by oil-price inputs.
The difference matters: inflation from consumption recovery can be sustained, whereas inflation from energy inputs will rise and fall with oil prices.
If the situation between Iran and Iran-related tensions causes Brent to break above $100, China’s September CPI could jump directly to 1.2% or higher. At that time, the room for monetary easing in China would narrow, creating new pressure on Asian markets.
Will China’s central bank still have a chance to cut interest rates this year?
