Today’s Outlook

1、Powell responds to criminal investigation concerns: calls the criminal subpoena a “political pretext” and vows to withstand pressure from Trump. Previously reported by Jin10, Fed Chair Jerome Powell said the U.S. Department of Justice threatened on Friday to bring criminal charges over his June testimony to the Senate related to a multi-year building renovation project. A grand jury subpoena was delivered last Friday.

2、Vitalik posted that the crypto industry urgently needs better decentralized stablecoins, noting three unresolved issues: ideally tracking an index more suitable than the U.S. dollar price; designing decentralized oracles that cannot be controlled by large capital; and addressing competition around staking yields.

3、Michael Saylor once again posted Bitcoin Tracker information, and may disclose additional BTC purchases this week.

Macro & Hot Topics

1、Spot gold surged above the $4,600 mark for the first time, while spot silver hit $83.9 per ounce, a new all-time high.

2、Michael Saylor: the best-performing assets over the past decade have been NVDA, MSTR, and BTC.

3、Goldman Sachs outlook for 2026: strong U.S. economic growth alongside moderate inflation, with the Fed expected to cut rates two more times.

Market Performance

1、Over the past 24 hours, total crypto market liquidations reached $136 million, including $69 million in long liquidations. BTC liquidations were about $18 million, while ETH liquidations were around $21 million.

3、Bitget BTC/USDT liquidation map shows the current price around $91,540. Dense long liquidations are stacked in the $89,000–$90,500 range, mainly at 50x/100x leverage, meaning a pullback into this zone could amplify forced selling pressure. On the upside, short liquidations are building in the $92,000–$94,000 range; a decisive breakout could trigger short covering and accelerate a short-term rally.

4、In the past 24 hours, BTC spot inflows were about $243 million, outflows about $207 million, resulting in a net inflow of $36 million.
