Odaily News: The whale known as "Setting 10 Big Goals First" posted on X to update the progress of its previous BTC short position. The whale stated that it had established a short position when BTC was in the $74,000-$76,000 range. When the price rapidly surged to around $79,500, it reduced most of the position. Although some short positions were re-established near $78,000 afterward, the early moves had already resulted in realized losses of approximately $10 million.The whale stated that despite BTC briefly falling back to around $76,000 over the weekend, reducing the position at that time still aligned with its trading discipline. As for the remaining position, the original plan was to set a hard stop-loss near $80,400. However, considering that if BTC's daily chart were to reclaim the $78,000-$78,500 level after the US stock market opens, it would close the position early and accept the loss. The whale claimed that even if this trade ultimately results in a loss, it is acceptable, as it does not want to miss out on a potential trend move from $80,000 to $100,000 in the future because of chasing back a single loss.In its latest reply, the whale confirmed that it has closed the remaining BTC short position and stated, "This trade is completely over."

According to a post by CryptoQuant analyst Woominkyu, since early July, BTC’s price has climbed from approximately $60,000 to $78,000, marking an increase of roughly 30%. Over the same period, overall market funding grew from $20.6 billion to $24.9 billion, nearing a high for this phase. He noted that, contrary to the price appreciation, the share of borrowed funds did not rise correspondingly. This indicator peaked on August 14 and has trended downward since, with the leverage ratio failing to recover significantly despite BTC accelerating its gains after August 19. He views the current capital structure as healthier than rallies driven by borrowed capital; however, should BTC prices stagnate while the borrowing ratio climbs again, it could emerge as a risk signal requiring close monitoring.

According to QCP, BTC surged over 20% last week, peaking around $79,500 on Friday to mark its strongest weekly performance since March 2024. QCP noted that this rally was initially driven by large-scale short covering, followed by expanded demand in the spot market. US spot BTC and ETH ETFs posted combined net inflows of approximately $2.6 billion last week, the highest since October 2025. Among them, BTC ETFs recorded net inflows of roughly $1.92 billion and ETH ETFs saw net inflows of about $697 million, reversing the previous week's combined net outflows of approximately $392 million.
Odaily News, CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler Jr. stated that as BTC rose from approximately $63,000 to $77,000 over the past 8 days, the proportion of BTC short-term holders (STH) in profit has climbed from 26.1% on August 17 to 74.9%, indicating that the majority of short-term holders have returned to a profitable state.Meanwhile, the net profit/loss indicator for short-term holders flowing to exchanges has turned positive, reaching +28,600 BTC as of August 24, surpassing the +25,000 BTC level. Axel Adler Jr. pointed out that if this indicator continues to stay above +25,000 BTC while BTC's upward momentum begins to slow, the risk of concentrated selling by short-term holders will further increase. Conversely, if the indicator falls back to near zero while BTC's price remains stable, it would suggest that potential selling pressure is easing.
According to Odaily, the ETH/BTC ratio has recently formed a "golden cross," where the 50-day moving average has crossed above the 200-day moving average. Since early June, ETH has consistently outperformed BTC, with the ETH/BTC ratio rising approximately 25% from its June 6 low.Historical data shows that the performance of ETH/BTC following a golden cross has been inconsistent. After the golden cross on July 25, 2025, the ratio rose about 36% over the following four weeks, but subsequently turned downward; following the February 2021 golden cross, it once surged approximately 93%. However, the two golden crosses in May and August 2022 both failed to sustain upward momentum. CoinDesk noted that the golden cross is a lagging indicator based on historical prices and does not necessarily imply that ETH will continue to outperform BTC going forward. (CoinDesk)
