BIT Trading Moment: BTC Buying Pressure Rises but Bearish Sentiment Remains Strong, 50-Month EMA Difficult to Break, SK Hynix Attempts to Stabilize Memory
BIT Trading Hours: BTC Buying Rebounds but Bearish Sentiment Persists; 50-Month EMA Presents Resistance; SK Hynix Attempts to Stabilize the Memory Sector.
Bitcoin briefly reclaimed $65,000, its first time since August 10th, showing a temporary decoupling from traditional risk assets pressured by soaring long-term U.S. Treasury yields. Key support is seen at $62k-$63k, with resistance near the 50-month Exponential Moving Average around $65.4k. While on-chain data indicates recovering spot demand, potentially signaling a local bottom, the options market remains skewed bearish. BIT analysis notes significant downside risk remains if historical bear market patterns repeat, with a potential drop to ~$45.5k.
Global equity markets faced intense selling pressure, driven by a bond market storm. The U.S. 30-year yield hit a multi-year high above 5.33%, raising global funding costs. The AI sector was at the epicenter of the sell-off, with the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index plunging ~5% as investors questioned the sustainability of massive AI capital expenditures amid high debt costs. Storage stocks like Micron led declines.
SK Hynix's announcement of a major share buyback provided some stability to the memory sector during after-hours trading. However, most tech stocks remained under pressure. In Asia, South Korean and Japanese indices fell sharply, heavily impacted by chip stock declines.
Chinese robotics company Unitree Tech had a volatile market debut on Shanghai's STAR Market, soaring over 600% at one point before paring gains, making its founder a billionaire. Despite this individual success, the broader robotics sector in A-shares sold off heavily.
Key upcoming events include the U.S. 20-year Treasury auction and the release of the Federal Reserve's July meeting minutes, which will be crucial tests for bond market stability and monetary policy expectations.
