Analyst: Altcoins May Have Entered Early Accumulation Phase, Bullish on SOL, ASTER, and HYPE

Odaily News Analyst Killa stated on platform X that, based on historical performance, when BTC begins to form a bottom and slowly trends upward, it often represents a favorable accumulation phase for altcoins. During the previous cycle, as BTC rose from $16,000 to $74,000, a large number of altcoins recorded gains of 300%–500%. However, as BTC continued to strengthen thereafter and its market dominance increased, many altcoins began to face downward pressure.Killa believes that if BTC has already formed its bottom this cycle, some altcoins may have also established cyclical lows, prompting a recent resumption of selective altcoin positioning. His SOL position, bought at $76, is currently up approximately 50%. The ASTER long position shared recently has a target of at least 50% to 100% upside. Additionally, the HYPE spot or long position established earlier at $51.55 has since risen roughly 70%.

Bitcoin Short-Term Holder Whales See Record Unrealized Profits of $9.07 Billion

Odaily News - The unrealized profits of Bitcoin short-term holder whales reached $9.07 billion on September 4, setting a new all-time high since this metric began being recorded in 2016.

Short-term holders typically refer to Bitcoin that has been recently transferred and held for no more than 155 days, with the metric further focusing on large-scale holders.On September 7, Bitcoin traded in the $79,300 to $79,500 range at one point, reaching an intraday high of $80,537 before slipping below $79,000, putting pressure on the immediate support level near $79,013.

DWF Labs: BTC and ETH ETFs See Net Inflows Exceeding $1 Billion for Third Consecutive Week, Spot Market Driving This Rally

Odaily News DWF Labs stated that last week, BTC and ETH ETFs recorded a combined net inflow of approximately $1.2 billion, marking the third consecutive week with inflows exceeding $1 billion — the first time since July 2025. Among this, BTC ETFs saw net inflows of around $987 million, with a single-day inflow of $731 million on September 3, ranking as the third highest this year. The AUM of BTC ETFs rose to $103.3 billion, accounting for approximately 6.32% of BTC's total supply.Meanwhile, open interest denominated in BTC dropped from 762,200 BTC in mid-August to 669,600 BTC. Over the same period, BTC climbed from around $63,000 to $80,000, indicating that the recent price movement has been driven more by spot capital flows rather than leverage.

Bitcoin remains stuck in the $80,000 consolidation range, with rising rate hike expectations capping upside potential

Odaily News - According to the Bitfinex Alpha analysis report, August employment data has reinforced expectations of a Fed rate hike in September. The market now estimates the probability of a 25-basis-point hike on September 16 at approximately 60%. However, Bitcoin remains near $80,000, with US spot Bitcoin ETFs recording net inflows of approximately $986.7 million last week.Data shows that US non-farm payrolls increased by 162,000 in August, while the unemployment rate held steady at 4.1%. The manufacturing PMI rose to 54.6, indicating that the economy has not shown signs of a sharp slowdown. Nevertheless, input costs remain elevated, and inflationary pressures have shifted market policy discussions back toward rate hikes.Meanwhile, US Treasury yields continue to weigh on risk assets, with the 2-year yield climbing to 4.37% and the 30-year yield holding at a high of 5.24%. Bitfinex notes that Bitcoin has encountered resistance near $82,000 recently and remains range-bound between approximately $77,200 and $82,100.Bitfinex believes that sustained ETF inflows and growth in stablecoin supply are providing support for Bitcoin, but Fed policy expectations and elevated Treasury yields are limiting upside potential. If this week's inflation data comes in below expectations, the market may once again price in a pause in rate hikes for September; conversely, persistent inflationary pressures could further strengthen rate hike expectations. Until a breakout from the current consolidation range occurs, Bitcoin is more likely to maintain a relatively strong sideways trend rather than confirming the start of a new upward rally.
