According to Cointelegraph, Alice Liu, the research director at CoinMarketCap, stated in Cointelegraph's Trade Secrets program that Bitcoin may have reached its bottom, and it is unlikely to fall back to the low levels it hovered around for most of the year.She pointed out that Bitcoin dropped to about $59,000 in June, down approximately 53% from its historical high of $126,100 in October, while Bitcoin briefly reached $81,600 in early September, rising about 28% since mid-August, which pushed the CoinMarketCap Fear and Greed Index back into the greed zone.When discussing Hyperliquid, Liu mentioned that network activity does not necessarily translate into token prices. She observed that trading of RWA perpetual contracts, which are pegged to tokenized stocks, ETFs, and indices, had primarily taken place on Hyperliquid over the past two months, but after Binance launched RWA perpetual contracts, trading volume and liquidity quickly shifted, with Binance capturing about 50% market share; however, Hyperliquid still maintains its lead in the DEX space.HYPE recently set a historical high of $86, and Hyperliquid has spent over $400 million on token buybacks, with some price momentum supported by the buybacks. However, the price of HYPE relies on continuous inflows of network revenue to support the buybacks, which is a key observation point.

Renowned trader Killa posted about the potential impact of the upcoming FOMC meeting on the cryptocurrency market this week. He stated that many people are very focused on macroeconomics, policies, and economic data to predict the next moves of assets, but Killa believes that "most macro narratives are just distractions."

Correlation is often lagging. The market does not move because most people understand it. Most people understand it because the market has already moved.As a quantitative trader focused on BTC, Killa predicted the peak of this bull market in May 2025 and has over 200,000 followers on platform X. In mid-April, he shorted Bitcoin at $74,688 and switched to long during the market-wide decline on June 5.

Bitcoin price fell nearly 1% to around $79,700, as escalating conflicts between the United States and Iran pushed oil prices higher.

Admiral Brad Cooper stated that if Iran attacks U.S. vessels, the U.S. will impose a higher economic cost.The U.S. Central Command updated maritime blockade data, stating that since resuming operations on July 14, it has redirected 92 merchant ships, disabled 3, and boarded 2 for inspection. Oil prices rose by 1% in both the U.S. and European markets, with WTI at $92.72, marking a cumulative increase of over 6% in the past seven days.

However, Trump immediately posted on Truth Social calling for a rate cut, stating that a strong nation means lower interest rates. This uncertainty may dampen risk appetite for Bitcoin and the broader market.

ASUS and Gigabyte, among other graphics card manufacturers, plan to raise product prices in the mainland Chinese market again in September, by up to 500 yuan (approximately 2,300 New Taiwan dollars). The price increase effect will also boost the performance of ASUS, Gigabyte, MSI, Leadtek, and Chengqi.According to reports from mainland Chinese media IT Home, ASUS will raise the net cost price of the NVIDIA RTX 5070 series by 150 to 300 yuan in September, while prices for other series models will remain unchanged. Gigabyte will increase the price of all models in the NVIDIA RTX 5060TI 16G series by 200 yuan in September, while other models will remain the same. AMD's RX 9070 XT series will increase by 200 yuan; the RX 9060 XT 16G/8G series will increase by 200 to 250 yuan; and the RX 7650 GRE series will increase by 400 yuan.The main reason for the price increase is the shortage of memory, and production capacity has also shifted towards manufacturing AI computing power GPUs. NVIDIA has again lowered the overall shipment volume of consumer GPUs by 15% to 20% for the third quarter, and the estimated supply for various brands in September is similar to that in August, with supply still tight. The high-end models such as the NVIDIA RTX 5080 and 5070 TI remain among the most out-of-stock models. This year, NVIDIA has raised graphics card prices multiple times, and September marks another increase.

Serenity posted a reminder that the fundamentals of storage shortages have not changed and may even become more acute. The market will shift from one bottleneck sector to another, but the companies themselves remain unchanged; what changes are the valuations and narratives. Serenity added several pieces of evidence suggesting that the storage supply-demand gap may be worse than the market expects: Nikkei reported that Japanese distributors claim the storage demand gap has reached 40% to 60%, and prices may rise by about 50% by the end of the year; SpaceX has not accounted for the approximately $1.3 trillion capital expenditure from ultra-large cloud providers, and total spending may exceed expectations; SanDisk's expected gross margin of 80% is expected to be maintained until 2030; and order visibility for companies like Samsung has extended to 2031.Serenity emphasized that storage stocks are highly volatile, with some of its positions showing unrealized gains of over 270%, making them easier to hold. However, the company's operational fundamentals and short-term stock prices often do not align. The same logic applies to other bottleneck areas such as optical modules, CW lasers, and substrates; after a rebound in stock prices, there is no need to assume that shortages have ended. Storage prices and supply-demand structures remain tight, and market sentiment and valuation narratives are rapidly rotating.

Binance customer service responded to user inquiries regarding losses from AKEUSDT contract trading, stating that during September 3, 05:44 (UTC+8), the AKE token experienced severe price fluctuations across the entire market. Multiple mainstream trading platforms and on-chain trends were basically consistent, indicating market volatility rather than abnormal pricing on a single platform.Binance explained that since Binance has not launched AKE spot trading, the AKEUSDT contract price is calculated based on the spot market prices across the entire network, rather than Binance's own spot market. The liquidation mechanism uses the mark price, which comprehensively references multiple market price data to reduce the impact of abnormal fluctuations. After verification, Binance's system is operating normally, and no anomalies were found in the pricing mechanism; this incident falls under the normal risk of leveraged positions in extreme market conditions.

Nikkei Chinese reported on September 3 that demand for AI servers from Nvidia is driving the semiconductor memory DRAM market to accelerate upward. The price of general DRAM products used in personal computers and other devices increased by 5% month-on-month, while products for industrial equipment saw double-digit increases. Memory manufacturers are prioritizing the supply of AI server-specific memory, and its ripple effect is further spreading.In addition to being used in personal computers, cameras, and smartphones, DRAM is also installed in AI servers and other devices in data centers, serving as temporary data storage. As sellers, memory manufacturers negotiate monthly or quarterly with equipment manufacturers and module manufacturers, who act as buyers, to determine bulk transaction prices. The bulk transaction price for the 16Gb specification of the general model DDR5 used in PCs, game consoles, and servers was set at approximately $40.2 in July, an increase of 5% month-on-month. Prices have risen for seven consecutive months, and executives from electronics trading companies stated that they have reached a historic high.

UNI continued to rise, while TRX short positions remained crowded, and the implied volatility of BTC and ETH fell back to previous levels.

Qualcomm announced a double-digit increase in chip prices starting September 1, applicable to chips shipped after that date. Qualcomm informed customers in July that it could no longer absorb rising supplier costs. Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon stated in an interview with Reuters that they are simply passing on the significant cost increases they are facing.Apple continues to procure modem chips from Qualcomm for the iPhone 17 models while transitioning to self-developed modems. Qualcomm expects revenue from Apple to decline faster than previously anticipated, dropping about 50% from the September quarter to the December quarter, as supply constraints will reduce Qualcomm's component share in the iPhone 18 series. Qualcomm also provides mobile chips for manufacturers like Samsung, with price increases covering its product line and negotiating separately with customers.
