$UNI on the Move!
$UNI is showing strong bullish momentum, surging +16.82% to hit $10.37!
After consolidating around the $8.50 zone, the price broke out sharply, hitting a local high of $10.88 before stabilizing. 
DeFi interest is ramping up fast as buyers step in with heavy volume. Is this the start of a sustained rally toward new local resistance, or are we due for a quick retest of lower support levels first?
What’s your play here holding, taking profits, or looking for an entry on the pullback? Let’s hear your thoughts below! 👇

$UNI just broke out of a multi-month falling channel.
The structure is finally changing breakout + strong momentum.
If $UNI can hold this breakout, the $12–$14 zone becomes the next area I’m watching.
This move is getting interesting.

Bitcoin is doing something we haven't seen in a long time.
September is currently up around 10%, which puts $BTC on track for a rare three-month winning streak.
What's interesting is that September has historically been one of Bitcoin's weaker months. Instead, we're seeing BTC continue pushing higher while the market usually expects this period to be more difficult.
August already delivered strong momentum, and September is now building on it.
The month isn't finished yet, so nothing is confirmed.
But if BTC closes September in the green, this streak becomes pretty hard to ignore.
Now I'm watching October. 👀

This BTC rally cannot be viewed as a continuation pattern. Personally, I still don’t think it’s wise to chase the highs—when has any previous major bull market started without a market backdrop of rate cuts and QE?
This time, the entire world is raising interest rates, and the CLARITY Act hasn’t even passed, yet the market can still keep rallying. The rate-hike bull market everyone is talking about probably won’t last long; it’s merely a rebound after the market was suppressed by rate-hike expectations for too long.

Shorts at 83,000 were buried alive at 87,000
Bottom line: this vertical surge from 82,000 to 87,363 was not driven by sentiment—it was a premeditated “detonation.”
BTC touched $87,363 during Monday’s session, marking a new high since January. Many people thought it was because “market sentiment was strong.” Wrong.
What truly drove the price from 81,146 to 87,363 was a sophisticated compound mechanism of “expectation gaps + leveraged liquidations.”
First layer: The rate hike became bullish instead
On September 16, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates by 25 basis points to 3.75%-4.00%. It was the first hike in three years.
According to textbook logic, rate hikes are bearish for risk assets. In 2022, BTC fell from 41,000 to 15,800, losing half its value over the year.
But this time was different.
A single 25-basis-point hike was not the kind of aggressive tightening represented by consecutive 75-basis-point hikes. More importantly, the market had already psychologically prepared for a more aggressive path. The actual outcome was milder than expected, which instead became a catalyst.
When the bearish news is fully priced in, it becomes bullish. The phrase is cliché, but it works every time.
Second layer: ETF “live ammunition”—this is the real support
On September 21, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $999 million in net inflows in a single day, the highest level in 2026 and the largest amount since October 2025.
BlackRock’s IBIT contributed $381 million, ARKB contributed $289 million, and FBTC contributed $239 million.
The three funds accounted for 91% combined.
Total ETF assets rose back to $110.1 billion, with cumulative net inflows of $56.16 billion.
This is not sentiment—it is real money.
There is also one detail that most people overlooked: BTC rose to $85,900, breaking above the ETF average cost basis of $81,722—the holders of U.S. spot ETFs finally broke even collectively for the first time since January.
People who had been underwater for more than half a year finally got back to breakeven.
Third layer: Shorts became the best fuel
The 84,000-85,000 range had long been packed with shorts.
After the price broke above 82,000, a stair-step cycle of “breakout → liquidation → another breakout → another liquidation” began.
More than $1 billion in short positions were forcibly liquidated within 24 hours.
The CEO of Alphractal said that leveraged longs had already been cleared out during the previous decline, while this rally triggered concentrated short liquidations. The structure of derivatives positions was completely reshaped.
In plain English: shorts were buried alive, and their stop-loss orders became fuel for the rally.
A senior Nansen analyst made a crucial point:
“BTC’s break above 84,000 looks less like a clean macro-driven accumulation and more like a combination of recovering ETF demand and a massive short squeeze. The important distinction is that the price turned bullish faster than positions could adjust.”
What does that mean?
A short squeeze is borrowed time.
Every short that gets liquidated consumes one future forced buyer. The question now is: with the shorts blown up, who will take over?
If ETF inflows weaken, or U.S. Treasury yields surge again, this rally could reverse at any time.
There is another detail worth watching: the Coinbase premium gap briefly turned negative. After the initial surge in U.S. domestic spot demand, there were signs of a pullback.
So what should you watch?
Just one thing: whether IBIT, ARKB, and FBTC can maintain daily inflows of nearly $1 billion.
If they can, demand is independent, this rally has fundamental support, and $90k is only a matter of time.
If not, this was simply a spectacular short-covering rally—once the shorts are gone, the rally is over.
The short squeeze tells you “why the rally is fast.”
ETF inflows tell you “whether the rally can go far.”#BTC突破87000美元 #闪迪涨7.7%创7月以来新高 #Gate广场中秋团圆局 $BTC $ETH $SOL

The market has clearly been picking up recently, and Gate Launchpool has also been launching new pools at a rapid pace. By my count, 7 mining pools have already gone live this month.
Now, four major mining pools are running simultaneously, and it’s honestly getting a bit hard to keep up with all the mining.
Take me, for example. The $ETH I hold has participated in three mining pools this month: DGAI, CP, and FOLD. So far, I’ve mined:
237 $DGAI
15687 $CP
4702 $FOLD
The total value is currently around 750U. That’s far better than earning a pathetic wage at a regular job.
Of course, the annualized yields vary by asset:
The ETH pool is currently around 5%
The annualized yield for USDT can reach around 11%
If you hold GT, the annualized yield can even reach around 60%
That’s also what I like about Launchpool: when prices rise, you benefit from the appreciation of your assets while also earning mining rewards from the pool—a perfect way to get the best of both worlds.
The market is recovering, so don’t let your idle assets just sit there.
Sharing is better than enjoying alone—let’s all start mining together!

UNI Has Broken Above 10 Again, But This Time It’s Completely Different
Last November, UNI also broke above 10.
It briefly touched it, then—fell back down to 9.24.
Today, UNI climbed above 10 again, touching 10.85 intraday and rising over 14% in 24 hours.
The same price, but two completely different stories behind it.
Last time it broke above 10, you were buying a blank check
On November 11, 2025, Uniswap founder Hayden Adams and Foundation executive director Devin Walsh jointly proposed a governance proposal: activate the protocol fee switch and use fees to burn UNI.
Once the news broke, UNI surged over 40% in 24 hours, briefly breaking above $10.
And then?
The proposal had not even gone to a vote, and revenue was still zero. The market was purely speculating on “what might happen in the future.” Once the hype faded, the price obediently fell back.
How dire was UNI’s situation that year? From 2020 through the end of 2025, the protocol generated hundreds of millions to over $1 billion in fees annually, all of which went to LPs, while UNI holders received not a penny. UNI was merely a voting tool.
That is the fate of governance tokens—priced on expectations; when the expectations disappear, so does the price.
This time, when you buy UNI above 10, you are buying real revenue
On July 27, 2026, the fee switch was officially activated on Uniswap V4.
Not a proposal, not a vote—it actually started collecting money.
How explosive was the data?
The protocol’s average daily revenue soared from $118,000 in early July to $318,000, a 2.7x increase. Robinhood Chain alone contributed $168,000 per day on average, accounting for half of the total revenue across the network.
Daily UNI burns briefly reached 106,000 tokens, setting a record of 186,000 tokens.
In early September, 178,000 UNI were burned in a single day, worth over $1.11 million, with Robinhood Chain contributing 144,000 tokens, or over 80%.
UNI founder Hayden Adams personally posted an update on X: UNI’s annualized burn rate has surpassed $250 million.
The cumulative burn has reached approximately 112 million tokens, accounting for 11.2% of the maximum supply.
The last time UNI broke above 10, the market was betting that a proposal would pass.
This time, breaking above 10 is the market calculating how much money the protocol has made.
Governance tokens are priced on expectations of votes, while cash-flow assets are priced on revenue multiples. What UNI is experiencing is the replacement of the former by the latter—and once this process begins, it cannot be reversed.
Why Is Robinhood Chain UNI’s “Money Printer”?
Robinhood Chain launched its mainnet on July 1, and Uniswap was this chain’s public AMM from day one.
And the result?
Uniswap controls approximately 99% of the tokenized stock liquidity on Robinhood Chain, with daily trading volume reaching $130 million.
Over the past 30 days, Uniswap collected $78.73 million in trading fees on Robinhood Chain—60 times its share from Arbitrum during the same period, accounting for 66% of Uniswap’s total revenue across all 47 chains.
Uniswap charges a 0.465% fee on every dollar traded on Robinhood Chain, compared with a global average of only 0.214%, more than twice as high.
Why? Because tokenized stocks are concentrated in V4’s high-fee pools.
A DEX has become the settlement layer for the world’s largest retail brokerage’s tokenized stocks.
Last November, when you bought UNI, you were buying “hope.”
Today, when you buy UNI, you are buying a machine that prints money every second.
Last year, all of UNI’s fees flowed to LPs, leaving the token with no cash flow.
This year, UNI turned “corporate buybacks” into “on-chain auctions of protocol revenue”—arbitrage bots monitor the TokenJar contract 24/7 and immediately burn tokens to arbitrage when they find that the fee assets in the jar are worth more than the cost of burning UNI. It is driven entirely by economic incentives, with no human intervention.
Once this flywheel starts turning, it is self-reinforcing.
Higher trading volume → more protocol fees → more TokenJar assets → more UNI burned → reduced circulating supply → higher token price → more traders entering.
But there is something you need to know:
UNI’s current revenue is highly dependent on Robinhood Chain, while a considerable portion of Robinhood Chain’s trading volume comes from speculative trading during the period of gas-fee subsidies. Once the subsidies are scaled back, short-term activity may cool down.
But the underlying logic of this flywheel will not change—UNI has already transformed from a “voting tool” into a “cash-flow asset” backed by real revenue.
The way the market prices it is shifting from a “governance premium” to a “revenue multiple.”

Trump’s Latest Disclosed Position Changes: Selling Out of Old U.S. Stock Heavyweights While Buying the Dip in Nvidia
Reduced Holdings
1. Microsoft $MSFT
Sold up to $25 million in a single transaction, then bought back only a small amount of $100,000–$250,000 three days later, resulting in a substantial net reduction. Although the company’s cloud business and AI investment remain solid, the account chose to lock in some of the gains.
2. Amazon $AMZN
Sold up to $25 million during the same period, with only $1,000–$15,000 bought back, resulting in a clear net reduction. Its leading positions in e-commerce and cloud computing remain solid, but the portfolio took profits.
3. Oracle $ORCL
Sold $5 million. Its database and cloud services continue to benefit from enterprise digitalization, while the account chose to reduce its exposure.
4. Costco $COST
Sold $5 million. Its membership-based retail model has strong resilience across economic cycles, making this a partial realization of the position.
5. Northrop Grumman $NOC
Sold $500,000. The defense contractor has stable orders, and the sale came on the same day that a related supply-chain executive order was signed.
6. SpaceX $SPCX
Sold part of the position. With both commercial spaceflight and government contracts, this was a short-term trade.
Increased Holdings
7. Nvidia $NVDA
Bought $1 million. Demand for AI chips remains strong, while data centers and training computing capacity continue to expand, making this a key focus of the portfolio rotation.
8. Intuit $INTU
Bought $5 million. Its tax software and financial management tools for small and midsize businesses have high user retention and stable cash flow.
9. Marvell Technology $MRVL
Bought $5 million. Data center switches and custom chips are benefiting from AI infrastructure development, giving the company considerable growth potential.
10. Salesforce $CRM
Bought $5 million. As a leader in enterprise CRM, its cloud subscription model offers relatively strong certainty.
11. Church & Dwight $CHD
Bought $5 million. Its portfolio of consumer goods brands is mature, with strong defensive characteristics.
12. Axon Enterprise $AXON
Bought $500,000. Demand for law enforcement and security equipment is tied to government orders, providing relatively high business visibility.
13. Tesla $TSLA
Bought an additional $250,000. Electric vehicles and energy storage continue to offer long-term potential, and the account partially bought back its position.

US-Iran handshake, Nasdaq at a new high, BTC breaks $86k: a perfect resonance of “risk appetite returning”
Last night, at the United Nations headquarters in New York, US and Iranian officials held three hours of closed-door talks. Trump subsequently told reporters that it was “very smooth” and “productive,” adding that they would talk again soon.
At the same time, the Nasdaq closed up 0.45% at 27,244 points, hitting a new closing high for the second consecutive day.
Memory chip stocks collectively went wild. SanDisk rose 6.82%, Micron Technology gained 5%, SK hynix climbed 3.45%, and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index jumped more than 2% to a new high since mid-July.
Now look at Bitcoin—it remains firmly above $86k.
Breaking it down, the transmission chain is very clear
First layer: geopolitical easing.
The US and Iran moved from a “state of war” to talks at the negotiating table. What was the market’s first reaction? Oil prices collapsed. Brent and WTI crude fell for the fifth consecutive day, with WTI dropping below $95.
The risk premium is being systematically stripped out.
Second layer: risk appetite returns.
Oil prices fall → inflation expectations decline → funds flow from safe-haven assets (gold and US Treasuries) into risk assets. The Nasdaq hitting a new high and memory chips surging are the most direct gauges of recovering risk appetite.
Micron Technology’s stock has posted an astonishing gain this year. Rosenblatt Securities initiated coverage of SanDisk with a “buy” rating and a $2,400 price target. The analyst’s exact words: AI is turning NAND flash memory from a “cheap commodity” into a “key component of AI infrastructure.”
Third layer: crypto absorbs the flow.
BTC has recently held above $86k, gaining approximately 15% over the past seven days and decisively breaking above the 200-day moving average, which had suppressed prices for roughly 300 days. It touched $87,363 intraday, reaching a new high since January.
Over the past 24 hours, more than $1 billion in short positions have been liquidated.
More than 1 million BTC were transferred on-chain over the past week, representing over $92 billion and reaching a new high in nearly four years.
But one thing must be made clear
A large part of the core driving force behind this rally came from shorts being forced to cover—the price broke through the resistance zone, shorts capitulated en masse, and forced buying amplified the rally.
Whether it can hold above $90k or even challenge $100k next depends on whether spot buying can take over.
Santiment data shows that optimistic discussion surrounding Bitcoin has risen to its strongest level since 2024, while the Fear and Greed Index is approaching “extreme greed.”
What comes after extreme greed? You figure it out.
In addition, ZEC broke above $1,600 last night, setting another recent high. Over the past four hours, $13.4 million in positions were liquidated, ranking first across the market, including $12.9 million in short positions. Privacy-focused assets and major assets are strengthening in tandem—this rally is not the story of individual tokens, but the resonance of the entire risk-asset curve.
When global risk appetite returns, BTC is often the asset with the greatest elasticity.
But the sentiment boost brought by geopolitical easing is pulse-like—can the US and Iran truly reach an agreement after the midterm elections? Can the Strait of Hormuz reopen? These are the underlying variables that will determine how far this rally can go.
The $86k BTC is backed by a new Nasdaq high, surging memory chips, and a three-hour US-Iran meeting.
