Odaily reports: CryptoQuant on-chain analyst Darkfost stated that Bitcoin (BTC) is currently clearly dominated by futures trading, with the ratio of Binance spot-to-futures trading volume at approximately 0.12, meaning futures account for roughly 90% of trading volume. Meanwhile, Binance BTC open interest fell from $10.6 billion to $9.2 billion over the past week, but spot demand remains weak, preventing the ratio from improving.Darkfost noted that the current rally is primarily driven by the futures market, and spot buying remains the missing piece. If spot demand fails to follow through, this rally could become unstable.
According to on-chain data monitoring, trader Doomer (@solanadoomer) is continuously accumulating PUMP through limit buy orders. After his last similar purchase, the price of PUMP rose by about 5%.

According to disclosures from the Michael Burry Stock Tracker, Michael Burry, the real-life inspiration behind "The Big Short," stated on his Substack platform that weekend research has led him to believe the artificial intelligence bubble may soon accelerate its collapse. He disclosed his latest position adjustments: closing short positions include short stakes in Micron ($MU), Nebius ($NBIS), Caterpillar ($CAT), the Semiconductor ETF ($SOXX), Nvidia ($NVDA), Oracle ($ORCL), and CoreWeave ($CRWV); opening new short positions involves initiating a short on MetLife ($MET); and adding to and adjusting long positions includes expanding his Palantir ($PLTR) position, rolling his QQQ stake into a larger Nasdaq ($NDX) position, and increasing holdings in Sprouts Farmers Market ($SFM) and QXO ($QXO).
Odaily reports: Cryptocurrency exchange Binance recorded net outflows of more than 13,800 BTC on September 22, the largest single-day net outflow since 2023. At prices at the time, the assets were worth about $1.15 billion. Binance's Bitcoin reserves fell from about 705,000 BTC to about 685,000 BTC within four days, a decline of about 20,000 BTC, worth about $1.66 billion.On-chain analyst Darkfrost said Binance's Bitcoin outflows are part of a broader accumulation trend, with some investors choosing to self-custody their Bitcoin. The outflows may also be related to institutional custody, internal wallet management, and other operational arrangements, and cannot be viewed on their own as proof of accumulation behavior.Bitcoin pulled back after a recent rally and is currently holding in the $83,000 to $84,000 range, staying above $83,000. Market participants are watching whether this price level can continue to find support and whether Binance's Bitcoin outflows and the decline in exchange reserves will persist. (Bitcoin.com News)
well-known trader Bonk Guy posted that the crypto market may be nearing a turning point. In a worst-case scenario, it could still experience several more weeks of decline or consolidation before potentially entering a sustained rally. He believes that if investors are highly bullish on a token's performance in Q4, the current risk-reward ratio favors actively buying the dip; if a token is expected to break a $1 billion market cap, then the difference between buying at a $20 million or $25 million valuation may not matter much.Bonk Guy also stated that the biggest risk right now is missing the next rally due to the bearish sentiment on Crypto Twitter (CT). He advised against paying too much attention to 1-minute candles and suggested buying the dip and reducing short-term trading.
CryptoQuant analyst nocoffeenobrain stated that crypto market sentiment has undergone a significant shift, with the Fear and Greed Index rapidly climbing from around 30 in August to the current 74. Meanwhile, BTC dominance has dropped to 53.8% and continues its downward trend. Historical data shows that when the sentiment index rises while Bitcoin's dominance remains flat or declines, market capital and momentum tend to flow into sectors outside of Bitcoin;
In pre-market analysis, trader degentrading (@degentradingLSD) highlights the following key market signals: • Macro: The 10Y yield has risen to 5.2% and the 30Y to 5.5%, nearing historical peaks. The South Korean stock market opened down 2.5%, with the memory and semiconductor sectors (SK Hynix, Samsung, MU, SNDK) broadly declining 2%–5%. Price action is expected to remain volatile ahead of MU's earnings report. • Next-Generation Cloud Computing: Project payback periods for compute infrastructure have fallen below one year. Market perception is shifting, and rapid revaluation of the new cloud sector is anticipated. Power supply bottlenecks are also gaining prominence. • Tech Stocks: META is trading lower in pre-market. Monitor for accumulation opportunities at the $690 support level or a breakout above all-time highs. If the broader hyperscale data center sector breaks out, META, MSFT, and peers could undergo paradigm-level repricing. • Crypto Markets: Broad weakness across major and alt coins, with BTC potentially testing the $82K support level. Risk capital was freed last week by trimming TAO and DOGE, and taking profit on CRDO. Since crypto sentiment typically remains positive during KBW week, the strategy this week centers on identifying short-term bullish setups.
Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Commodities Strategist Mike McGlone (@mikemcglone11) noted that the Market Vector Digital Assets 100 Index (MVDA) has ceased outperforming the Nasdaq 100 Index (NDX) since the launch of Bitcoin futures in 2017. Although MVDA volatility is approximately three times that of the NDX, performance has remained flat over the past decade, and its positive correlation with the NDX fails to provide effective portfolio diversification benefits. McGlone stated that the approval of U.S. Bitcoin spot ETFs and the policy shift ahead of the 2024 Trump election may already mark a local peak for the crypto market, with a low probability of further upside. Approximately two-thirds of the MVDA's constituents consist of Bitcoin.
Odaily News: Solana's official X account reposted an interview clip with Backpack founder and CEO Armani Ferrante. Ferrante stated that Backpack's goal is "not 10 stocks, not 100 stocks, but to bring the entire stock market onto Solana."At its core is an API connecting brokerages and DeFi: tokens held by users correspond to real shares, are 1:1 in-kind redeemable, and can flow freely in both directions between brokerage accounts and on-chain. Ferrante gave an example: users can buy SpaceX tokens on Solana and then transfer them directly to brokerage accounts such as Backpack, Fidelity, and Robinhood. He emphasized that the fundamental difference between this and other tokenized stock solutions on the market is that "what you actually get is the stock itself."Ferrante revealed that currently there are only about 200 tokenized stock assets across all chains combined, and the next step is to expand to 10,000.
Odaily News: Bitcoin fell back to around $83,600 on Friday, down about 1% from the previous trading day, after briefly touching around $87,000, reaching that level for the first time in months. Market analysis suggests that the expiry of $1.56 billion in Bitcoin options on Deribit may have exacerbated short-term volatility, as market makers typically unwind their hedging positions after options expiry.Over the past 24 hours, BTC open interest and trading volume fell by 14.39% and 13.68% respectively, with long and short liquidations relatively balanced—long liquidations totaled $161.96 million and short liquidations $156.1 million—indicating that leveraged funds are readjusting. On the technical side, BTC's 50-day moving average remains above its 200-day moving average, forming a "golden cross," and the short-term trend is still viewed as relatively strong.Meanwhile, Bitcoin spot ETFs saw net inflows of $299.09 million on Friday, though this was lower than the single-day inflow levels seen earlier in the week. By contrast, XRP rose 4.37% over the past 24 hours and 15.45% over the past 7 days, currently trading at around $1.58; Solana rose 3.36% over the past 24 hours and 9.33% over the past 7 days, currently trading at around $119.84. The next macro data points the market is watching are the U.S. Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) inflation data due on September 30 and the September nonfarm payrolls report due on October 2.

According to CoinDesk, bitcoin traded above $84,000 on Friday, essentially flat over the past 24 hours after briefly dipping below $84,000 on Wednesday. Most major tokens saw volatility of less than 2%, while ONDO rose 27% to around $0.54 and QNT gained 39% to near $100. Meanwhile, selling pressure in the US bond market has eased slightly, with the 10-year US Treasury yield retreating 2 basis points to 5.17% after climbing more than 20 basis points cumulatively over the previous two trading sessions. Brent crude oil fell about 1% to $105 per barrel as markets focused on reports that the US and Iran may reopen the Strait of Hormuz via a phased agreement. FxPro Chief Market Analyst Alex Kuptsikevich stated that Bitcoin's recent pullback is more of a temporary pause within an uptrend, noting that the current upward momentum has not yet ended. Even if BTC falls further to $70,000, it could exert significant pressure on short-term traders, but he believes it remains insufficient to disrupt the broader bullish trend. Additionally, Bitcoin is approaching Friday's Deribit options expiration. The current price sits below $85,000, which is one of the strike prices with a high concentration of call open interest in this expiry batch.
well-known trader Bonk Guy posted that investors are currently being forced to sell high-conviction holdings due to market weakness, and this is precisely the most fragile phase. In his view, the truly difficult thing is not buying when the market is rising, but continuing to hold and buy the dip when the market falls into dullness and pain.Bonk Guy added that recent market movements have largely aligned with his previous expectations. Over the past two weeks, on-chain market performance has been relatively volatile, especially showing a clear cooldown compared to the strong momentum of the previous 1 to 2 months. Aside from a few assets such as USELESS and STONK, most of the previously popular tokens have now declined, with some dropping more than 50%. Newly issued tokens have performed especially badly. Therefore, he still regards the fourth quarter as the key focus and believes that the past few months were merely a prologue. If the market continues to rise in the coming weeks as he expects, investors who sell their high-conviction holdings now may regret it.
Analyst Darkfost states that the cost basis for Bitcoin's short-term holders (STH) has confirmed crossing above that of active long-term holders (LTH), sending a bull market confirmation signal historically observed for the fifth time. Active long-term holders refer to coin supplies transferred at least once over the past seven years, a definition designed to exclude long-dormant balances. Currently, over 3.5 million bitcoins held for more than ten years remain dormant, with this supply segment growing by an average of approximately 8,000 to 30,000 coins per month. Darkfost believes current market momentum is shifting positively, partially driven by capital inflows into exchange-traded funds (ETFs), although the possibility of this signal failing remains.
According to official social media announcements, HTX Research Asset Analyst WZ will join the seventh episode of "Huobi Expert Talk" today at 19:00 (UTC+8) to share insights on the theme "From Washington to Oil Prices: A New Pricing Logic for Crypto." During the session, WZ will address topics including US crypto regulation, the US Treasury market, international oil prices, and midterm elections, examining how policy expectations, liquidity shifts, and energy prices influence crypto asset pricing. Tying in concerns relevant to retail investors, he will also explore the transmission pathways of macroeconomic events to the crypto market and highlight key signals worth tracking when gauging market movements.
CryptoQuant founder Ki Young Ju noted that as the Bitcoin market cap expands and institutional holdings increase, this bull cycle could deliver a 3- to 5-fold gain rather than a parabolic rally exceeding 10x as seen previously, with subsequent bear market declines likely to be relatively moderate. He pointed out that throughout this cycle, Bitcoin’s Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) ratio has consistently remained above 1, meaning the broader holder base remains in profit without meaningful unrealized losses; meanwhile, the rising realized market value, early whales halting their distribution, and futures whales building substantial long positions near local bottoms all indicate that funding conditions are improving. He believes Bitcoin’s cyclical extremes are gradually narrowing, and as the market matures, it may further develop monetary attributes.
Prominent trader Bonk Guy stated that Bitcoin has reclaimed the $86,000 level and is in a clear uptrend. As fourth-quarter seasonal patterns approach, he believes USELESS deserves close attention. Bonk Guy further noted that USELESS has outperformed mainstream crypto assets such as BTC, ETH, SOL, DOGE, SHIB, and PEPE across multiple timeframes during this cycle. Indicators including whale inflows, perpetual open interest, trading volume, on-chain holder counts, and liquidity are all trending upward. He suggests it could emerge as this cycle's "Dogecoin/SHIB," with a market capitalization potentially exceeding $10 billion. USELESS currently represents only a small fraction of the approximately $38 billion meme coin market. Should the meme coin sector see a repricing in the fourth quarter, its upside potential could expand even further.
Cointelegraph reported that Bitcoin has recently gained strength, with analysts predicting it is poised to challenge the key $86,000 level, signaling that the crypto market has entered a new bull cycle.
Bitget Chief Legal Officer Hon Ng has released an open letter on the occasion of the platform's eighth anniversary.

Odaily reports: According to on-chain analyst Ai Yi, a LAPTOP multisig address transferred $3.33 million worth of LAPTOP tokens to an address 2 hours ago. Subsequently, 3.72 million LAPTOP tokens, approximately $500,000, flowed to Gate, KuCoin, and Kraken. The related deposit addresses show fund connections to market maker GSR Markets, though the specific purpose remains unclear. LAPTOP's market cap has shrunk 99.5% from its peak and currently stands at only $129 million.
