Resumo

BTC rebounded and suffered a sell-off from the giant whale. Pay attention to the market impact.

1、 BTC interval increase space confirmation

BTC's daily K-line chart was hourly, and there were continuous signs of adjustment during the price rebound. The highest rebound this time was $24276. From the perspective of volume and price performance, BTC still maintains the state of volume trading, but the increase has reached the position above the center of the range. That is to say, from $17246 corresponding to 78.6% of Fibonacci to $28308 corresponding to 61.8% of Fibonacci, of which the pivot price is around $23000.

BTC's rebound may end after the short-term obstruction of the brin online track, the recent increase in major changes and the profit flight of short-term investors.

2. BTC short-term investors profit flight

From the SOPR index of short-term investors, the SOPR ratio on July 20 reached 1.015, indicating that investors in short-term and medium-term transactions have obviously gained income. On July 18, the SOPR index value was 1.0058, which was also higher than 1, indicating that investors sold BTC profitably on July 18 and July 20, indicating that the short-term rebound may have encountered greater resistance. Combined with the fact that the transfer of Jujing has increased, we can focus on the adjustment signal next.

3. Clearance of giant whale

The clearance action of giant whale is not frequent, but when encountering special points, the increase of trading means that the energy of market change is enhanced. Judging from the market performance, giant whale has shown signs of position adjustment. The number of giant whales with addresses beginning with 1p5ze reached 132882 BTCs on July 18, with a market value of $2.98 billion based on the closing price of $22432 on that day. Although the number is amazing, the speed of clearance is also surprising.

The clearance process of the giant whale began on July 19, and its large-scale clearance process lasted until July 21.

In the change of the account balance of the giant whale at the beginning of 1p5ze, it can be seen that it fell to 117382 BTCs before the end of July 19. At the end of July 20, the number of banknotes decreased to 71381 BTCs. By 11:39 on July 21, the account balance had been cleared.

From the perspective of currency holding cycle, the giant whale has entered the market since February 2019, and the number of coins held has continuously increased from the initial 10000 BTCs to more than 130000. The process of increasing the number of BTC holdings is relatively slow, so the average cost price of holding money is easier to estimate.

The 76000 BTCs in the number of coins held at this address will be completed before December 18, 2021. The cost price of this part of BTC is lower than 23000 US dollars. It is estimated that the holding cost of 76000 BTCs is much lower than US $9000.

After December 18, 2021, the holding cost of this account will increase, which is higher than the current BTC of $23000. On the whole, the profit margin of this account is large, and it is estimated that the overall profit margin is close to 50%. As the holding time of the giant whale investor is more than 3 years, it belongs to the position adjustment of long-term investors.

4. Eth continuous adjustment signal

In terms of the daily K-line, ETH showed a reversal signal of continuous pullback. Recently, ETH has a large rebound space, with a cumulative increase of nearly 100%. The price began to adjust at the upper limit of the range shock, which is in line with investors' trading habits. On the brin line, after the ETH price hit the brin online track, it is already the third trading day in the state of adjustment. Considering that there are many chips under the low price range of $1600 in eth, the price is more likely to fluctuate within the range.

Gate Research Institute: ETF Outflows Suppress Risk Appetite, Two-Way System Navigates Weak Market

Gate Institute Research Report: May 2026 Crypto Market Review & Strategy Analysis In May 2026, the crypto market shifted from an early-month rally to a mid-month correction, concluding with low-volatility consolidation. BTC, ETH, and SOL peaked in early May before declining. The primary market dynamic was a divergence between weakening spot ETF inflows and persistently high leverage-driven perpetual trading volume. A dual-direction moving average cluster breakout strategy outperformed, returning +2.11% for an equally-weighted BTC/ETH/SOL portfolio. This contrasted with a -6.09% return for buy-and-hold and -3.65% for a long-only version of the strategy. Profits were primarily generated from short positions on ETH and SOL during the mid-to-late May downtrend, demonstrating the month's suitability for two-way trend trading. Market structure evolved in three phases: an initial surge (May 1-6), a failure and reversal (starting May 7), and low-volatility compression (May 22 onward). While stablecoin supply remained stable, significant outflows from mainstream BTC and ETH ETFs created selling pressure. Concurrently, high correlation with the S&P 500 (~0.6) and stronger performance from AI equities like Nvidia highlighted crypto's position as a high-beta risk asset within a broader risk-budget framework, lacking independent momentum. The successful strategy employed a 4-hour chart system using a cluster of six moving averages (EMA6,12,24 & SMA6,12,24). A breakout signal was triggered after the cluster width compressed below 2.2%. Trades were managed with a 2.5% fixed stop-loss, a 3:1 Risk/Reward (7.5%) take-profit, and an EMA12-based exit rule to control losses from false breakouts. The strategy's low win rate but high payoff from a few large trend moves was effective in May's conditions. The report concludes that for June, a disciplined, bidirectional approach remains superior to subjective directional bets. The framework should adapt signal weighting based on BTC's position relative to key EMAs, ETF flow trends, and the relative strength of the Nasdaq, prioritizing risk management and trend preservation.

Anthropic CEO's Latest Interview: On Technological Explosion, Safety Red Lines, and the Civilization Contract

Interview with Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei covers the intense pressures and ethical dilemmas of leading AI development. He describes the experience as "exponential growth," feeling constant acceleration akin to relativistic time dilation. The discussion delves into his departure from OpenAI, rooted in a fundamental loss of trust and divergent values rather than mere technical disagreements. Amodei emphasizes Anthropic's enterprise-focused business model, arguing it aligns better with safety and responsible deployment than consumer-facing, ad-driven models. He addresses critical issues like AI's impact on employment, advocating for proactive macroeconomic policies and a shift towards "doing more with the same resources" to avoid widespread job displacement. On safety and governance, he details Anthropic's cautious approach, including delaying the release of the powerful "Mythos" model due to its advanced cyber capabilities. He stresses the need for "human-in-the-loop" principles in military applications, setting red lines against autonomous weapons and mass surveillance. Amodei calls for industry collaboration among trustworthy actors to establish standards and advocates for a balanced regulatory framework with checks and balances, such as Anthropic's Long-term Benefit Trust, rather than corporate or government monopoly over the technology. He expresses geopolitical concerns, particularly regarding China, and a belief that AI should bolster liberal democracies. While acknowledging a non-zero risk of civilizational catastrophe from advanced AI, he asserts Anthropic's actions are aimed at significantly reducing that probability. The interview concludes with Amodei arguing that trust must be earned through concrete actions, like sacrificing commercial gain for safety, to distinguish Anthropic in a Silicon Valley landscape he criticizes for eroded public trust.

The Brutal Truth Behind CARDS' $535M FDV: Only $43M in Net Revenue and Halved Profit Margins

The article titled "The Brutal Truth Behind CARDS' $535 Million FDV: Only $43 Million Net Revenue, Profit Margins Halved" provides a critical analysis of Collector Crypt (CC), a platform combining physical collectible cards with NFTs in a gacha-style system. Key findings include: * CC has generated $635 million in total user deposits. However, 90.6% ($576 million) is instantly returned to users via automatic card buybacks, resulting in only $43 million in net platform revenue (6.7% retention). * Activity is highly concentrated among dozens of high-frequency wallets, with an average of only ~420 daily active players. * There is minimal secondary market activity for the cards (under $5 million total), indicating the platform functions more as a gambling casino than a collector's marketplace. eBay sales as a percentage of gacha volume have declined for six consecutive quarters. * Despite a tripling in transaction volume, net profit margins have been halved from 11.2% to 5.8% as activity shifts to higher-priced card packs with lower margins. * Value captured by the CARDS token is minimal: only $140,000 (from burns and recent buybacks), representing just 3.4% of CC's cumulative net revenue. In contrast, wallets linked to operational infrastructure have off-ramped $45.7 million in USDC. * The token's ~$535 million Fully Diluted Valuation (FDV) represents a 7.3x multiple of annualized net revenue. Only 20.5% of the token supply is floating, with 72% allocated to insiders and locked until November 2027. The conclusion is that CC has found product-market fit as a high-speed gambling platform for a niche user base, not as a growing collector economy. The token currently captures a negligible share of the platform's revenue.
