Inflation expectations are at 3.9%, the highest since May 2023, and more gut-wrenching than the actual CPI. This is exactly what the Fed is watching—when ordinary people expect prices to rise, they really do feel emboldened to demand higher wages, and businesses really do feel emboldened to raise prices. One link leads to another, and inflation ends up feeding itself. Don’t ask why rate cuts are taking so long—it’s that simple. What do you think?

$MAGIC It rose nearly 40 points in one day, with 24h volume at 65M—retail traders couldn’t have driven that. When U.S. Treasury yields spiked in the early session, GameFi funding rates collectively turned negative, a short squeeze triggered cascading liquidations, and 0.0606 was pushed straight to 0.0906. Looking at quantitative correlations, MAGIC’s negative correlation with Nasdaq futures has reached around -0.7 in this move—when the dollar weakens, it strengthens. Chasing the top now is just handing tokens to the market makers. My strategy: take a light position at 0.086-0.089, set a stop-

Ethereum’s high-level converging pattern broke downward, with a deep pullback falling below 2530. After the deep pullback reaches the bottom of the range, observe whether this area develops into an expansion of the consolidation center and continues oscillating, or whether the correction is completed directly in one move.
Personally, I still feel it will continue to oscillate at high levels, using time to exchange for room for the correction. Later, when the oscillation reaches the trendline, one can consider entering a long position; if it breaks below the trendline, sell short on the rebound

$LIGHT Damn, this long-short ratio is terrifying! Don’t assume the shady market maker will pump it just because its market cap is small. It hasn’t seriously pumped since listing, which actually shows that the market maker doesn’t rely on pumping to make money at all: it pumps a little to trap a bunch of retail traders, then dumps it to keep making new lows. The market maker may even be opening short positions itself—making money while collecting funding fees.

ZCASH (ZEC) PLUNGES OVER 14%: WHAT TRIGGERED THE SHARP SELLOFF, AND WHAT COMES NEXT?
Zcash (ZEC) has come under intense selling pressure, recording a decline of more than 14% within 24 hours. The sharp correction has put traders on alert and raised an important question: Is this a temporary pullback after a powerful rally, or the beginning of a deeper bearish trend?
UNDERSTANDING THE REASONS BEHIND THE DROP
ZEC's latest selloff appears to reflect a combination of profit-taking, leveraged liquidations, and broader weakness across the cryptocurrency market. According

Then there is the macro picture.
