Resumo

The short-term weakness of BTC and Ethereum further prompted the adjustment of expectations.

1. BTC currency holding cost down

In the daily K-line chart, the trading volume of BTC is relatively stable, and the volume and price performance in the past month is relatively active, during which a large number of BTCs have changed hands. Based on this, BTC is already at a very concentrated price. Although there are still many hold ups at the high price, the number of hold ups continues to decrease with the adjustment. At present, the daily trading volume of BTC is not strong enough, and the continuous decline of prices may further indicate the decline expectation. Therefore, around the price range below $25000, low absorption is more likely to reduce the risk of holding currency.

2. Stable currency prompts capital flight

The number of active addresses of stable coins has increased significantly. Among them, the number of active addresses sending stable coins increased rapidly, reaching a high of 103000 on August 3. Recently, the peak value of the stable currency rose, and the peak performance continued on July 12 and August 1, with the corresponding values reaching 122000 and 114000 respectively. This shows that the overall investors are not confident in the current transaction, and sending a stable currency may be a signal of capital flight.

3. The proportion of stable currency sending addresses increased

The proportion of sending addresses of stable currency has effectively rebounded, and its short-term peak has reached around 79%, indicating that the number of sending addresses still has a large share. The proportion of actively sending stable coins decreases, while the proportion of receiving stable coins is very low. This shows that the number of addresses receiving stable currency remains at a low level, and few investors actively buy stable currency, which may limit market performance.

4. Eth trading volume remained low

The trading volume performance of eth is obviously lower, and the shrinking trend of trading volume in the short-term six trading days is very significant. In terms of price, ETH began to callback after reaching $1784 in the short term, and the volatility was obviously at a low level. The shrinking trading volume and the low intensity of price fluctuations mean that there are more opportunities for eth to decline sideways.

At present, the middle rail of brin line can support eth horizontal consolidation, but there is obviously insufficient space to continue downward. Therefore, ETH only needs a small pullback at present, which may expand the adjustment space after falling below the brin line medium rail. There is a large downward space from around $1600, so we should pay attention to tracking risks in the short term.

5. Eth mortgage loan project TVL low level operation

Used to judge the utilization rate of eth chain, the total lock up (TVL) value of mortgage lending projects on eth chain is relatively low, especially the relative historical high has significantly shrunk by 64%, indicating that the current data on the chain has limited support for eth price. On August 3, the total lock up volume of its on chain lending reached US $17.89 billion, a significant decrease from the historical high of nearly US $50billion.

After entering the adjustment state, the ETH chain lock volume data showed signs of continuous stabilization, but the short-term rebound space is not high. This also shows that the rapid rebound of eth short-term price has deviated from the fundamentals, and the pressure of price adjustment may appear in the short term.

Bitcoin Trading Strategy Breakdown: Celebrity Predictions and Classic Models All Fail, Only These Four Indicators Remain

Analysis of Bitcoin Trading Strategies: Why Celebrity Forecasts and Classic Models Fail, Leaving Only These Four Reliable Indicators This analysis examines the failure of common Bitcoin prediction methods and identifies four reliable indicators for constructing a trading strategy. The author reviewed all major BTC prediction approaches from 2017-2025, categorizing them into three groups: celebrity price targets (consistently over-optimistic), analytical models like Stock-to-Flow (broken post-2022), and on-chain signals. The key finding is that more data often creates confusion, not clarity. The strategy discards unreliable elements: celebrity predictions (incentivized to be extreme), pure models (invalidated by post-ETF market changes), and the Fear & Greed Index used alone (too many false signals). Four reliable indicators were selected: 1. **MVRV Z-Score:** Accurately identifies cycle bottoms when entering its green zone (e.g., 2018, 2020, 2022). Note: Its ability to call tops is now ineffective post-2024. 2. **SOPR (28-day MA):** Consistently signals bottoms when below 1.0, indicating holders are selling at a loss. 3. **ETF Net Flow:** A crucial post-2024 metric showing institutional momentum (e.g., sustained inflows = buying). 4. **Macro Liquidity (Fed policy & M2):** Sets the overall directional bias (e.g., bullish during easing cycles). The core strategy involves waiting for a multi-signal共振 (resonance). For example, a bottom signal requires MVRV in the green zone + SOPR < 1.0. A top signal requires overheated on-chain data + sustained ETF outflows. Macro policy sets the overall direction. The Fear & Greed Index is only used as a weighted confirmatory signal, never alone. Action is only taken when three or more indicators align. The author automated this into a monitoring system that sends Telegram alerts only when signals trigger. As of the article's date (April 15, 2026), the system showed a strong bottom signal: extreme fear (F&G=12), MVRV in the buy zone, and SOPR < 1.0. The only contrary signal was weak ETF flows. Historically, such triple on-chain共振 has preceded 100%+ returns. The conclusion emphasizes building a personal framework over relying on external predictions, allowing for iterative improvement and customization based on individual risk tolerance.
