The Trap Behind the Nonfarm Payrolls “Shock”: Employment Fell by 23k, Yet the Unemployment Rate Dropped
Last night, U.S. July nonfarm payrolls showed employment falling by 23k, versus market expectations for an increase of 80k—sending traders rushing in to go long Bitcoin. “Rate hikes are off the table! Liquidity is about to ease! Let’s go!”
Bitcoin did surge, briefly breaking above $65,300.
But then what?
It pulled back after rising, now at $64,800.
It did rise, but how strong was the move? Compared with this “epic shock” of a data release, the gain was so weak that it was downright unsettlin

$BLESS has fallen from 0.0238 to 0.0162, and those who chased the top a day ago are already down 32%. Are you still fantasizing that it will rise back to its original price tomorrow? Trading volume over the past 24 hours reached 410 million, and the turnover rate has nearly churned the chips to pieces. It is clearly panic selling, with holders scrambling to escape. Don’t catch a falling knife—entering now is just providing fuel for the market makers.
If you really want to play it, wait until it falls to around 0.012 before watching. That level finally looks like it has some support. Keep your

NFP Shock Reprices the Fed: Is Bitcoin Entering a New Liquidity Cycle?
A Weak Jobs Report Changes the Macro Narrative
The latest U.S. Non-Farm Payrolls report has delivered a major surprise, with the economy adding only 57,000 jobs versus expectations of roughly 113,000. Payroll figures for April and May were also revised lower by a combined 74,000. The message is becoming harder to ignore: U.S. labor-market momentum may be weakening faster than previously expected.
For financial markets, this matters because employment is one of the Federal Reserve’s key policy ind

It is now 3:27 p.m. Beijing time, with less than 9 hours left until the 24-hour candlestick closes. $EPIC has climbed from 0.78 all the way to 1.1836, while trading volume surged to $136 million, looking spectacular on the surface. But have you noticed that the price began pulling back after touching 1.2116, while turnover at the highs expanded abnormally? The chips from this rally are rapidly being transferred to those chasing the pri

$ETH Current price 1913.55, pulling back near the 1H EMA20, with bearish MACD momentum narrowing, the 4H Bollinger Bands middle band rising, order book buy-side ratio at 53.29%, funding rate at -0.0001%, shorts paying fees, and OI stable. The bullish defense line remains intact, and the short-term sniping window is open.

$US ’s bearish candle is brutal, plunging directly from 0.0614 to 0.0455, with 26.7M in volume over 24 hours. Those who chased the rally yesterday are now sitting on an average unrealized loss of 18%+, which is exactly what I’ve repeatedly said: once bullish news is fully priced in, it becomes a distribution signal. The 0.0458 level happens to sit right at the lower edge of the previous high-volume trading zone, but don’t rush to buy the dip—the sell orders in the order book haven’t been fully cleared, and even a short-term rebound to 0.0485 would just give trapped holders a chance to exit.

$UNI I (Uniswap) – Sideways, Watching
I'm watching UNI because it's down a slight -0.07% at $4.026, bouncing off a low of $3.932. The moving averages are turning bullish with MA5 at $4.002, MA10 at $4.000, and MA30 at $4.009, with MA5 crossing above MA10 and MA30, confirming short-term buying pressure. The 24h high is $4.084, and MACD is turning positive, indicating growing upward momentum. Volume is moderate, and the trend is beginning to turn. I'm staying out for now, but watching closely for a breakout above $4.084.

$BEAT 24-hour trading volume reached $43 million, with the price rising from 1.91 to 2.28 before falling back to 2.20—enough volatility for three roller-coaster rides. I reviewed the previous three halving cycles, and each had one common feature before altcoin season began: volume broke out ahead of price, while $BEAT’s volume today has already exceeded 3x last month’s daily average.
At 2.2, the price is right at the upper edge of the previous high-volume trading zone. Breaking through 2.29 would open the way to a new high, while failing to hold 2.1 would mean a retest of 1.9. My plan is to bu

The next wave of growth for f(x) may not come from retail investors
Many people researching @protocol_fx focus on fxSAVE's APY, fxUSD, or various leveraged products.
But I recently noticed a more important development: f(x) has begun actively entering the field of vision of DAO Treasuries.
In June this year, the f(x) team submitted an RFC on the ENS DAO governance forum, discussing the introduction of fxUSD + fxSAVE into ENS Treasury's stablecoin allocation. The core selling points were also straightforward: fully onchain, non-custodial, with no freezing function, while yield comes from protoc

The Senate will vote on the CLARITY Act this week — Tim Scott
Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Scott said the Senate will “absolutely” hold a first vote on the CLARITY Act before the August recess. The bill requires the support of 60 senators to pass.
Senator Cynthia Lummis also expressed support for the statement. Outstanding points of contention include Democrats’ concerns over Trump’s crypto investments and the banking industry’s demand for clear licensing requirements for stablecoin companies.
