Abstract

BTC's sideways consolidation, a large amount of CHZ flowed into the exchange, and the top 10 main holders of coins cleared their positions.

1. BTC horizontal plate finishing

BTC's performance in the daily K-line chart is relatively stable, and more trading volume is really accumulated in the price horizontal movement stage. This shows that,

After the rapid withdrawal of the price on August 19, it did not obviously fall below the cost price of the recent bargain hunters, so there is more room for flexibility in the market. In terms of trading volume, the BTC trading volume in the daily K-line is relatively stable and has not been significantly reduced. The trading activity of investors is very stable, and the high activity helps the price rise positively.

2. The selling pressure of long-term investors is small

With the continuation of the BTC adjustment, the data of the number of coins destroyed per day, which represents the trading trend of long-term investors, remains at a low level. This indicator continues to retreat, which means that the selling of long-term investors is very low. The peak value of the number of coins destroyed per day has dropped from 74 million on June 17 to 41 million. Recently, the number of coins destroyed per day has been maintained at a low level below 8.16 million. On August 24, the number of coins destroyed per day was only 3.93 million. This shows that during the period of price sideways operation, long-term investors hold stable currencies and the selling pressure drops by more than 90%, which means that the possibility of further short-term decline is decreasing.

3. CHZ soared strongly by more than 180%

In the strong rising stage of CHZ, the highest increase reached more than 180%, and the trading volume was more than 4 times of the previous low. Judging from this, the price rise of CHZ has triggered investors' enthusiasm for trading, and the turnover rate has also increased significantly. The trading volume of the four consecutive trading days shown in the figure maintains a stable recovery, and the fluctuation space is very small. At this time, the turnover rate of long and short sides is high, and the selling pressure is naturally at a high level.

In terms of trend, the price of CHZ is close to the brin line, and the short-term selling pressure can be focused on the early high of US $0.3. On the weekly level, we can pay attention to the pressure level below US $0.24 since the beginning of 2021, so there is great uncertainty about the signs of rising.

4. CHZ's main currency holdings decreased significantly

During the period when the price of CHZ rebounded significantly, the change in the number of main currency holders deserves the most attention of investors. From the number of the top 10, top 20, top 50 and top 100 main holders of coins, there was a big change from August 21 to August 22. The number of CHZ held by the top 10 main holders of coins decreased significantly from 68.71% to 0.67%. Accordingly, among the top 20, top 50 and top 100 major holders of coins, the number of coins held decreased from 76%, 81% and 86% to 0.77%, 6.57% and 10.92%. The rising potential of CHZ may have been greatly discounted after the decrease of holding currency in the near clearing mode.

5. CHZ flows into the exchange

The driving factor of the price rise of CHZ may be attributed to the world cup expectation. As a token of fans, CHZ does a lot of things, such as signing nearly 50 clubs and reaching an agreement with Barcelona football club, one of the largest football clubs in the world, to sell 24.5% of the shares of Barcelona studio at a price of US $100 million. There are event driving factors for the heat rise, and attention needs to be paid to the changing trend of the selling pressure of the exchange. Judging from the number of CHZ exchanges waiting for trading, the recent value remains at a high level. At the same time, the peak recorded in the exchange appeared on August 22, with the largest selling pressure, which was similar to the date when the main currency holdings decreased. According to this judgment, we should pay attention to the price trend and the callback risk in the short term.

Are Altcoins Soaring? Is the Bull Market Back?

Recent days have seen significant volatility in altcoins while Bitcoin remained relatively stable. Some low-market-cap tokens, with circulations under $20 million, surged by several hundred percent within days—without fundamental improvements, ecosystem breakthroughs, or new institutional inflows. This is not a true altseason. The Altseason Index stands at 34, and Bitcoin dominance is at 58.5%, indicating the market is still in a "Bitcoin season." The altcoin market cap has shrunk by ~40% since its peak in December 2024, falling to around $700 billion. This severe decline has made it cheaper for large holders to accumulate significant portions of circulating supply, enabling price manipulation. A case in point is SIREN, where a single entity allegedly controlled up to 88% of the circulating supply. Such concentration allows a small group to dictate price movements. Additionally, deeply negative funding rates (as low as -0.3% every 8 hours, annualized to -328%) force short sellers to pay high fees, accelerating liquidations and further fueling upward price spikes. On-chain activity, like a 97% weekly increase in BSC DEX volume, suggests excitement, but it is largely driven by existing capital, not new inflows. Institutional flows into altcoin ETFs (like those for Solana and XRP) have been weak or negative, indicating caution rather than rotation into altcoins. This rally is a signal of structural fragility, not broad bullish momentum. Until Bitcoin dominance falls significantly and new capital enters the altcoin space, these pumps are echoes of manipulation—not the return of a true bull market.
