Crypto KOL Community & Market Trends

Last week, Bitcoin posted five consecutive bullish candles, surging from $62k all the way to $79k, up more than 23% for the week. Spot gold climbed above $4,600, hitting a three-month high. And then? A flash crash on Saturday liquidated 179.2k traders, wiping out $882 million. Long positions accounted for 80%.
Why?
The aftershocks of the nonfarm payrolls report have yet to fade, and geopolitical conflicts have taken over.
U.S. nonfarm employment fell by 23k in July, while the May and June figures were revised down by a combined 103k. The labor market is cooling. But what about inflation? July CPI rose 3.4% year-over-year, while the energy index surged 14.7%.
Weak employment + high inflation = the Fed’s biggest headache.
The July FOMC meeting kept rates unchanged by a 9:3 vote, with three officials wanting to raise rates. The probability of a September rate hike fell from 70% to 40%, but the shadow of “higher rates for longer” remains.
The 30-year U.S. Treasury yield briefly climbed to its highest level since 2007.
Borrowing is getting more expensive, while inflation is still not coming down.
Then Trump announced “the most devastating economic action in history” against Iran, which Treasury Secretary Bessent called an “economic Normandy landing.”
U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent announced the “toughest-ever” sanctions on Iran, directly targeting efforts to “bring down the Iranian regime.”
Iran’s response? “Any country participating in the sanctions will be considered to have declared war on Iran.” It also threatened that if the economic war continued, not a single drop of oil would pass through the Strait of Hormuz.
Shipping data showed that only five vessels passed through the Strait of Hormuz on August 15, compared with more than 130 vessels per day before the conflict.
Brent crude rose 6.4% last week, closing at $94.39 per barrel. It briefly touched $94.81 intraday. The diesel crack spread broke above $100 per barrel—the cost of transportation is rising, meaning inflation could climb even higher.
Bessent is set to officially announce the sanction details at 2 p.m. today (6 p.m. Beijing time).
Gold has already climbed above $4,600, a three-month high. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield remains above 4.7%. What about Bitcoin? It fell below $76,000 yesterday. Over the weekend, it briefly plunged from $77k to around $75.8k.
So what should we do this week? Two scenario plans—compare them yourself.
Scenario A: Mild sanctions, oil prices retreat, BTC rebounds (approximately 40% probability)
If Bessent’s sanctions are merely “more of the same”—with no secondary sanctions and no direct targeting of China, Iran’s largest buyer accounting for more than 80% of its oil exports—oil prices will most likely spike and then retreat.
Brent will fall back from around $93. Inflation expectations will cool. Treasury yields will stabilize.
BTC could see a short-term rebound. After all, Bitcoin surged from $63k to $77k, and a short squeeze at one point wiped out billions of dollars in short positions. If the geopolitical premium fades, bulls may retake the $77,000-$79,000 range.
Strategy: Take a small position to trade the rebound and watch for support confirmation around $76,000. If it breaks above $77,000, cautiously try a long position, with a stop-loss at $74,500.
Scenario B: Sanctions escalate, shipping remains restricted, BTC undergoes a deep correction (approximately 60% probability)
If the sanctions involve secondary sanctions—punishing foreign entities that conduct transactions with Iran—or explicitly target China.
If shipping restrictions in the Strait of Hormuz continue or expand.
If oil prices break above their previous high, sending Brent above $100.
Then inflation expectations will surge again. Treasury yields will continue rising. Expectations of a Fed rate hike will return.
As a risk asset, Bitcoin could face a deep 5%-8% correction. If $76,000 fails to hold, the next support is at $72,500. Below that comes the psychological threshold of $70,000.
But this would be a highly attractive “panic-buying opportunity” for the medium to long term.
Why? Because Bitcoin is gaining a new form of “geopolitical utility.” Iran has already launched a Bitcoin-settled maritime insurance platform called “Hormuz Safe.” For Iran, which has long been excluded from the SWIFT system, Bitcoin is a financial lifeline.
A risk asset in the short term, a censorship-resistant asset in the long term.
The more intense the geopolitical conflict, the stronger this narrative becomes.
Short-term traders: Watch how much BTC falls each time oil prices surge sharply. If there is “falling with oil but not rising with it”—oil rises while BTC does not follow, and oil falls while BTC plunges—then short-term weakness is confirmed. Keep your hands off and do not buy the dip.
Medium- and long-term holders: Treat this geopolitical shock as a “stress test.” Gradually build positions when the market mistakenly sells off amid inflation panic. Around $72,500 is the first level, while below $70,000 is a golden opportunity.
The “tail risk” of geopolitical events is enormous. The content of Bessent’s press conference today could send oil prices soaring 5% instantly, or send them plunging 3%. You cannot predict it.
Controlling position size is more important than predicting direction.
Keep cash on hand and wait for panic. Buy during panic and sell during greed. Ninety-nine percent of people cannot follow this old saying, but those who do take 99% of the profits.
The Jackson Hole global central bank symposium is also scheduled for this week (August 27-29), where Fed Chair Walsh will deliver his first keynote speech since taking office. PCE inflation data will also be released.
Nonfarm payrolls, geopolitics, inflation, and central banks—four cards being played at once mean this week is bound to be anything but calm.#ETH突破2400美元 #GateBTC现货交易全网第二 $BTC $XAU $CL

$UNI ‌ is looking pretty clean on the 1H chart 👀
After dipping toward 4.01, UNI built a solid recovery and then pushed through the 4.30 area, reaching 4.664.
Now the price is consolidating around 4.56, which is actually the part I’m watching most closely.
My levels:
🟢 Entry: 4.45 – 4.52
🛑 SL: 4.28
🎯 TP1: 4.66
🎯 TP2: 4.85
🎯 TP3: 5.05
The key level is 4.66. A clean breakout and 1H hold above that high could give UNI room toward 4.85 → 5.05.
For the safer setup, I’d rather see a retest around 4.45–4.52 and buyers defend it.
Supertrend is still bullish around 4.17, so the broader 1H structure remains constructive.
No need to chase the breakout candle. Let UNI retest, confirm, then ride the move.
Bullish while 4.28 holds. 📊

$XPL is displaying strong bullish momentum on the 15-minute chart, surging by +14.92% to trade at $0.10764 after rebounding sharply from a 24-hour low of $0.08889.
The token recently touched a high of $0.11250, supported by significant trading activity with over 90.79M XPL in 24-hour volume and $9.13M in USDT turnover.
Although price action is experiencing a brief consolidation following its recent spike, the formation of higher lows suggests active buyer interest.
A sustained move above the $0.10800 level could set the stage for retesting resistance at $0.11250, making it a key asset to monitor with proper risk management.#GateLaunchesJapaneseStockTrading #GateStockInsightsChallenge

From the daily chart, it’s clear that this rally has reached the top of its first phase and now needs a correction. Chasing at this level offers insufficient risk-reward; at most, you can trade short-term moves in individual areas. Although this rally has been very strong, that doesn’t necessarily mean there is much momentum left going forward.
As I mentioned before, price increases of this kind are most aggressive in the first phase, giving hesitant investors no opportunity to get in at lower levels. Once too many people start chasing higher prices, the correction that should occur will be no less significant.

DOGE at $0.092, and you’re still calling it “garbage”?
Look at the surface first: it fell from $0.73 to $0.07, a 90% drop, and retail investors spent two years cursing that “DOGE is a scam.”
But what happened recently? The spot DOGE ETF ended 16 days of zero inflows and recorded $654k in net inflows—although not much, the faucet is now open. Trump’s White House Crypto Summit sent a clear regulatory signal, BTC surged directly from $60k to $77,000, and DOGE followed with a 30% rally.
It broke out of the long-term descending channel and is consolidating on declining volume after pulling back to around $0.09.
First: the ETF is here—not “will it come,” but “it’s already here.”
On August 20, the spot DOGE ETF recorded $654k in net inflows, ending the previous 16-day period of zero inflows.
Wall Street has finally started treating DOGE as a “legitimate asset.” More importantly, after Trump’s White House Crypto Summit, expectations for regulatory clarity have heated up. If legislation such as the Clarity Act is passed, meme coins will no longer be in a “gray area,” but instead become legal and compliant speculative assets.
Second: the violent 30% rally in one week was not driven by retail investors.
Look closely at the volume—DOGE rose from $0.07 to $0.10, with 24-hour trading volume expanding to the tens-of-billions-of-dollars level. There had previously been buying orders for hundreds of millions of coins from major holders, with whales aggressively accumulating in the $0.07–$0.08 range. Now it has pulled back to $0.092 and is consolidating on declining volume—a textbook accumulation structure: rising volume on the rally and falling volume on the pullback.
Third: the technical picture has produced a signal that must be taken seriously.
On the daily chart, DOGE broke through $0.09 from $0.07, gaining 30%, breaking out of the long-term descending channel and moving above multiple moving averages (the 20/50 EMAs have turned bullish). It is now pulling back to around $0.09 (the 200-day moving average battle zone), while RSI has fallen from overbought levels above 80 to neutral-to-high levels—this is a standard “breakout followed by pullback confirmation” pattern.
The bulls and bears—judge for yourself
On one side:
The ETF ended 16 days of zero inflows; the faucet is open
Trump’s summit + regulatory clarity, with expectations for meme-coin legalization
A 30% surge in one week, breaking out of the long-term descending channel
Whales aggressively scooping up hundreds of millions of coins at $0.07–$0.08
Musk could ignite FOMO with a single tweet at any time
The SpaceX DOGE-1 lunar mission in September 2026
On the other side:
A 90% drop from $0.73, with long-term bear-market thinking deeply entrenched
It failed to break through $0.10 three times, creating enormous psychological pressure
Unlimited inflationary supply (increasing 5% annually), with no hard cap
A pure meme coin with no “fundamentals” to support it
High beta—if BTC collapses, it collapses too
Key levels
Resistance above: $0.094–$0.097 → $0.10 (psychological level) → $0.11–$0.12 → $0.15
Support below: $0.088–$0.090 → $0.081–$0.083 → $0.07 (rock-solid floor)
Trading strategy
Short-term traders:
Wait for a pullback to $0.088–$0.090 to open a small long position, with a stop-loss at $0.084–$0.085 and targets of $0.095–$0.100 (first) and $0.105–$0.110 (second). You can cautiously chase with a small position if it breaks through $0.097 on high volume, but keep the position even smaller.
Swing traders:
Build positions in batches below $0.09, with a stop-loss at $0.081 and targets of $0.12–$0.15. As long as BTC does not collapse and $0.081 holds, the bullish outlook remains unchanged.
Long-term gamblers:
Blindly dollar-cost average below $0.08. DOGE is the liquidity king of the meme sector, the ETF has just opened the floodgates, Musk has yet to make his move, and the September 2026 lunar mission plus a possible X payment integration give it a target of $0.20+.
DOGE now looks just like it did at $0.03 in January 2021—
99% of people thought “DOGE is going to zero,” but then one tweet from Musk sent it to $0.73.
On the day $0.10 breaks through, you will realize:
It wasn’t that DOGE was incapable—it’s that you sold at the bottom every time.
At $0.092, are you brave enough to get on board? #GateBTC现货交易全网第二 #ETH突破2400美元 $BTC $ETH $DOGE #BTC breaks through $77k

As $HYPE broke above $80 and hit a new all-time high, this veteran diamond hand who has held a HYPE long position for 10 months is now up $57.18 million.
The position value has increased from the initial $53.38 million to the current $110 million: 1.38 million HYPE tokens bought last November at $38.6.
Over the 10-month holding period, he has paid $4.98 million in funding fees alone. However, it appears he still has no intention of taking profits.

No, what the hell are you guys doing, competing this aggressively? I know a Blue V channel that charges a minimum of 2.7u for 3 months and 5.3u for 6 months. Do you have a channel cheaper than that? Selling it for 3u for 3 months—are you not making any money and just giving back to society?

People with little money often self-righteously say,
that they have no money
because they have bad luck.
Yet they are rarely willing to admit
that they are mediocre
because their understanding is insufficient and they lack courage.
Yesterday, I chatted with a senior,
and I envied how easily he made money,
but he told me that it was not easy at all,
as diligence, understanding, and execution are all indispensable.
This made me think that at school,
students with excellent grades often
put in more effort than those with average grades.
At work,
people who are good at summarizing are
more likely to achieve breakthroughs than those who simply follow the routine.
When starting a business,
people who dare to take action are
more likely to seize opportunities than those who hesitate and overthink.

Aside from the explosive pumps in the secondary market, I really haven’t felt much liquidity in the primary market. BSC is still a smallholder economy—everyone farms a little every day, and making money is hellishly difficult. Sol is all pubic-hair coins; last night, $Cate pumped one to 90m, then immediately ran off, cutting it in half and wiping out half its market cap. Robin Hood is still full of various incomprehensible high-tech projects that speedrun to zero. Base still has some liquidity support, but without official participation, it can’t produce any new launches.

Gold at $4,610—are you still waiting for a pullback?
Gold rose 14% in August. What happened? The U.S. Treasury is getting anxious—the scale of long-term Treasury buybacks will at least double to $4 billion per transaction, starting in September. Why? The 30-year U.S. Treasury yield hit a nearly 19-year high of 5.3%. The government can't take it anymore and must push yields down. Then what? The dollar fell, gold soared, and gold jumped more than 4% in a single day, breaking above $4,600.
First: This isn't an interest-rate operation; it's a signal of a "dollar credit crisis."
The U.S. Treasury's expansion of Treasury buybacks appears to be aimed at lowering yields, but fundamentally reflects a problem with the sustainability of government debt.
With the 30-year U.S. Treasury yield surging to 5.3%, the U.S. government now pays more than $1 trillion in interest annually. Buybacks = indirectly printing money to buy its own debt = diluting the dollar's purchasing power.
Central banks around the world understand what's happening: Central bank gold purchases hit a record 289 tons in Q2. China is buying, Poland is buying, and official institutions worldwide are buying.
Second: The probability of rate cuts is rising, and gold's biggest enemy is disappearing.
Nonfarm payrolls came in below expectations, while CPI/PPI were moderate. The probability of a rate hike in September has fallen to 30–40%, while the probability of holding rates steady is above 60%. Pressure from real interest rates is easing, and the dollar is weakening.
Rate hikes are nearing the end → the dollar can no longer rise → gold's biggest source of pressure is about to be removed
Treasury buybacks = indirect liquidity injection → dilution of the dollar's purchasing power → gold appreciates relatively
A macro shift + fiscal instability + geopolitical risks: gold's three bullish catalysts are resonating.
Third: A signal has emerged on the technical side that must be taken seriously.
The daily chart rebounded strongly from around 4,300, breaking above the previous descending channel and trendline, forming a clear higher high and higher low. Large bullish candles have appeared in succession, accompanied by volume—this is a textbook trend reversal.
Bulls vs. bears—look for yourself
On one side:
Treasury buybacks = quasi-yield curve control, damaging confidence in the dollar
Central bank gold purchases hit a record 289 tons in Q2, with official institutions worldwide sweeping up gold
The probability of a September rate hike has fallen to 30%, and macroeconomic pressure is about to ease
Gold rose 14% in August, breaking above the descending channel; the technical outlook has turned bullish
ETF outflows have ended, and net inflows have begun
On the other side:
Short-term overbought (Stochastic>90), with a need for a pullback
4,550–4,630 is a dense resistance zone, and repeated tests are possible
Oil prices are relatively high, and inflation could return
A break below 4,300 would damage the bullish structure
Key levels
Upside resistance: 4,630–4,650 (breakout confirmation zone) → 4,750–4,800 → 5,000 → 5,602 (yearly chart high)
Downside support: 4,550–4,580 → 4,510–4,530 → 4,410 → 4,300–4,330 (bullish line in the sand)
Trading strategies
Short-term traders:
Wait for a pullback to 4,550–4,580 and buy after stabilization, with a stop-loss at 4,480 and targets of 4,650–4,680 → 4,750–4,800. Once 4,630–4,650 holds, cautiously chase the rally, with a stop-loss below 4,600.
Swing traders:
Add to positions in the 4,510–4,530 area, with a stop-loss below 4,410 and targets of 4,750–4,800 → 5,000+. Increase position size after a confirmed break above 4,630.
Long-term allocators:
Gold's structural logic has changed—the dollar's credibility is weakening, and central banks worldwide are de-dollarizing. Any pullback to 4,300–4,500 is an opportunity to add, with a target of 5,000+ by the end of 2026. The yearly high of 5,602 is not a dream.
Gold now looks just like the 2023 Bitcoin ETF rally—
99% of people think "gold has risen too much, so wait for a pullback," while central banks are buying at a record pace and the Treasury is indirectly injecting liquidity.
On the day 4,630 breaks, you will realize:
It wasn't that gold was no good—it was that you got off halfway up every time.
Gold at 4,610—do you dare get on board? #GateBTC现货交易全网第二 #ETH突破2400美元 $XAU $XAUT #BTC breaks through $77000

From the daily chart, it is clear that this rally has reached the top of its first phase and now needs a correction.
The risk-reward of chasing at this level is not attractive; at most, you can trade partial short-term moves. Although this rally has been very strong, that does not mean the follow-up momentum will necessarily be strong.
I mentioned before that with this kind of price rally, the first phase is the most violent, giving those who hesitate no chance to get in at low levels. Once too many people start chasing higher, the correction that should come will not be any less.
Most likely, the market will consolidate at high levels, with a chance of another small price surge, followed by a correction. Those who missed the bottom opportunity can consider getting in when this correction arrives.
To be honest, although this rally has been very strong and I missed it, I really no longer have that urge to jump in impatiently. Maybe I have become numb, maybe I have gotten used to it, or maybe I am afraid of losing too much. I only want to trade market conditions that I can understand.
This rally has indeed exceeded my expectations, but that does not mean there will be no opportunity for another major drop afterward. The market always surprises people: when everyone thinks it will fall, it instead does not, while when most people believe the bull market will quickly return, a major correction may arrive instead.
I still say the same thing: don't rush, wait patiently……

ENA at $0.175—did you miss the boat?
Look at the surface first: it doubled in two weeks, with retail investors FOMO-buying the rally.
After bottoming around the historical low of 0.07 in late June, it broke through 0.10-0.12 on heavy volume starting in mid-August, with consecutive large bullish candles pushing it to 0.17-0.18. Its weekly gain more than doubled, trading volume surged, and futures open interest also nearly doubled significantly. The short-term parabolic rise is overheated, but the trend is not over.
First: Ethena's biggest problem before was that the yield was almost gone.
USDe's core business model is simple: you deposit USDe to earn sUSDe yield, while the protocol uses your money to conduct perpetual futures funding rate arbitrage. In 2024, funding rates were often annualized at 30-50%, and everyone was making money happily.
Then what happened? The entire industry piled into the arbitrage trade, crushing funding rates to the floor. sUSDe's annualized yield fell from over 30% all the way to around 4%. With the yield gone, capital began to leave, and USDe supply shrank from its peak.
Second: The $1 billion financing completely changed the rules of the game.
On August 19, Ethena and FalconX announced a $1 billion senior secured warehouse financing facility.
Previously, Ethena could only make money through perpetual futures arbitrage, with yields squeezed down to 4%.
Now it can lend the assets backing USDe to institutions for overcollateralized loans, covering trading strategies, corporate treasury management, and payments.
The source of yield has shifted from “funding rates squeezed to death” to “institutional-grade credit spreads.”
Third: But the price you're seeing may have already priced in most of it.
ENA is currently priced at 0.175, with a circulating supply of approximately 9.83 billion tokens and a market cap of around $1.5-1.7 billion. Compared with 0.08 before the FalconX financing announcement, it has already more than doubled.
The 24-hour trading range is 0.147-0.18, while short-term RSI has already surged to 80-87, indicating extreme overbought conditions. MACD momentum is strong, but divergences should be watched for. The short-term price has already fully reflected the recent positive catalysts, and a further move higher will require new catalysts.
You decide the bull-bear battle
On one side:
$1 billion in institutional financing, with the yield model completely upgraded
Large purchases by Arthur Hayes + backing from institutions such as BlackRock
A heavy-volume breakout from the 0.07 bottom, with the trend now turned bullish
If the fee switch, which distributes fees to stakers, is implemented, it would directly benefit ENA
On the other side:
It doubled in two weeks, with RSI overbought and the short term overheated
9.8 billion tokens are circulating, with another 5 billion awaiting unlock
The Federal Reserve may turn hawkish in September, creating macro uncertainty
If BTC pulls back, ENA will most likely follow, given its high-beta characteristics
Key levels
Resistance above: 0.18-0.20, the round-number level + extension of the previous high → 0.25 → 0.30
Support below: 0.155-0.165, the pullback stabilization zone → 0.14 → 0.13
Trading strategy
For those sitting out and wanting to chase:
Wait for a pullback. If the 0.155-0.165 range stabilizes, with a high-volume stop to the decline or a doji, cautiously test a long position. Target 0.19-0.22, with a stop-loss at 0.145.
For those already holding:
Around 0.175-0.18, consider taking partial profits, 30-50%, to secure gains. Use a trailing take-profit strategy for the remaining position, targeting 0.22-0.25. Exit unconditionally if it breaks below 0.15.
Medium to long term:
The fundamental improvement is clear. If it later pulls back to the 0.12-0.14 region, positions can be built in batches, targeting 0.25-0.30. Pay attention to unlocks and supply pressure—the 5 billion tokens awaiting release are no small amount.
From 1.5 down to 0.07, then from 0.07 up to 0.175—
ENA fell 95% in 45 days and rose 150% in two weeks.
This market never lacks miracles; what it lacks is your refusal to sell at the bottom and your restraint from chasing at the top.
Missing the boat doesn't lose you money; chasing the rally does.
What is your cost basis for ENA?

10 Trading Screen Secrets:
1. Don’t rush to chase a new high. Wait for the first pullback before buying. Don’t rush to buy the dip at a new low. When a new low is made during a downtrend, the decline will often continue, and buying the dip can easily leave you trapped.
2. The strength or weakness of the afternoon session will usually carry over into the next day’s opening.
3. The most effective trend reversals occur in the morning. Reversals in the afternoon are usually false moves.
4. When there is a clear gap between today’s opening price and yesterday’s closing price, a gap will appear on the candlestick chart. This indicates a huge imbalance between buying and selling pressure at the open, usually driven by major news, an emotional surge, or aggressive institutional capital. The market will either surge throughout the day or plunge throughout the day, with little major volatility or reversal in between.
5. Price action near yesterday’s high and yesterday’s low can directly reveal the market’s strength or weakness. Easily breaking through yesterday’s high and continuing upward → strong market; facing clear resistance → weak market, and vice versa.
6. Yesterday’s high and low are the two most important reference points during the session. When price reaches these levels, there are usually only two possible outcomes, corresponding to two trading approaches: unable to break through → trade the reversal; breaking through decisively → trade with the trend. A breakout accompanied by increased volume is more reliable.
7. The final hour before the close is when institutional players reveal their cards. They may deliberately lure buyers or sellers during the day, but as the close approaches, they must decide whether to push the stock price higher or lower into the close, because the closing price directly affects the next day’s opening sentiment, holding costs, and unrealized profit or loss. Late-session performance is often more genuine than daytime action and can reflect the institutional players’ true stance.
8. If there is a clear surge in volume during the final half-hour before the close, it is often not the behavior of ordinary retail investors, but rather institutional capital. Overnight funds and momentum traders who see this signal are likely to continue pushing in the same direction at the next day’s open.
9. If the following clear signals appear in the morning session, don’t hesitate—enter directly: a high or low formed after the open is broken on heavy volume, a one-way rally or decline with almost no pullbacks, consecutive large bullish or bearish candles, good price-volume coordination, and a clean, decisive trend.
10. Once the market forms a clear uptrend or downtrend, the probability that it will continue is usually higher than the probability of an immediate reversal. Don’t casually try to catch bottoms, pick tops, or trade reversals against the trend. Trend-following trades have a higher win rate. Once a trend gets underway, first assume that it will continue rather than assuming it will end immediately.
The market cannot be predicted. Abandon subjective speculation and react based on the facts shown on the chart!

HYPE at $82—are you chasing it?
Let’s look at the surface first: from $58 to $82 in just one week.
On August 19, Trump called out HYPE at the White House, sending it up 22% in a single day. In one week, the price surged from $58 to a record high of $82.5, pushing its market cap into the top ten and surpassing Dogecoin.
After pulling back from $82.5 to $78-79, shorts across the market have not yet been fully liquidated, while longs have already started trembling. The daily RSI has soared to 80, indicating extreme overbought conditions; $75-77 is the key support zone, and failure to hold it would mean a waterfall decline.
First: Trump is personally backing it, but this could be a “double-edged sword.”
On August 19, Trump said at a crypto summit at the White House: “CFTC Chairman Selig is working hard to bring Hyperliquid into the United States in a fully compliant and legal manner.”
This is the first time in history that a president has publicly supported a DeFi project entering a regulated market. After the news broke, HYPE rose 20-25% in 24 hours, sending its market cap to $18 billion.
But the problem is: the CFTC has not approved anything yet.
Second: AQAv2 goes live in three days. This is the real “killer move.”
Hyperliquid will activate the AQAv2 upgrade in three days. It will use 90% of the reserve yield generated by the platform’s more than $5 billion in USDC holdings to burn HYPE.
Analysts expect this to add an additional $135 million to $160 million in annual buyback pressure.
Over the past 12 months, Hyperliquid has already used 99% of its fees to buy back and burn 462 million HYPE, worth $1.27 billion.
Now it is adding a reserve-yield burn engine based on $5 billion in USDC.
Third: $800 million unlocks in one week. This is the biggest landmine.
On August 29, approximately 9.92 million HYPE tokens will be unlocked, worth around $800 million.
Of the current total supply of 1 billion tokens, only around 22% has been unlocked. More than 60% of the supply remains locked.
On one side, there are daily buybacks and burns; on the other, large monthly unlocks.
You can judge the bull-bear battle for yourself.
Bull case:
Trump + expectations of CFTC access to the US market—the ceiling is opening up.
AQAv2 goes live in three days, adding $150 million in annual buyback pressure.
Weekly revenue of $16.93 million, up 196% month-on-month.
A 40-70% share of the perpetual contract market, supported by real revenue.
OI breaks through $13 billion, with funds pouring in frantically.
Bear case:
Up 37% in one week, with the RSI soaring to 80 and indicating extreme overbought conditions.
$800 million unlocks on August 29, creating enormous selling pressure.
The CFTC has not formally approved it and could change its stance at any time.
A joint lobbying and review effort by CME + ICE means regulatory resistance is significant.
Loracle’s $16 million in short losses have not yet been fully liquidated, and the bull-bear battle is intense.
Key levels
Upside resistance: 82.5 (all-time high) → 85 → 90-100 (psychological levels)
Downside support: 75-77 (former resistance turned support) → 70-73 (dense moving-average zone) → 63-68 (strong support)
Trading strategy
Short-term traders:
Wait for a pullback to $75-77 before entering, set a stop-loss below 73, and target 82-85.
Swing traders:
Wait for AQAv2 to go live (August 26) and observe the market reaction. If the price holds above 75 with rising volume, enter on strength, targeting 90-100. If the price starts weakening before the unlock (August 29), stay on the sidelines.
Long-term believers:
HYPE’s fundamentals are among the strongest in DeFi—real revenue + buybacks and burns + a dominant position. Wait for a pullback to 63-68 to build a position in batches, hold for 1-2 years, and bet on the dual narrative of “US compliance + AQAv2.”
Will HYPE be the next ETH?
A DeFi leader monopolizing 40-70% of the market,
A project personally endorsed by the US president,
A buyback machine that burns over $1 billion annually—
At $82, do you think it’s expensive?
In 2017, ETH rose from $10 to $1,400.
At the time, 99% of people also said it was expensive.
Did you chase HYPE at $82, or wait for a pullback?

Mr. Mai’s idea aligns perfectly with the approach in the long article I posted today (); this article explains clearly why, when choosing holdings, you should choose both ends rather than the middle. Many people feel confused because they lack experience. Once you understand a few things, everything becomes clear:
1. Bitcoin’s major players are in the United States. That’s why altcoins put on all kinds of performances over the weekend, while Bitcoin remains quiet;

To do well in this market, you still need to have a reliable skill set of your own. What I personally rely on most is my own approach to reading charts, developed from a combination of basic technical analysis methods such as Elliott Wave Theory, moving averages, indicators, and candlestick patterns.
