Four days ago, Bitcoin and the crypto market as a whole saw a sharp rise due to the positive comments made by Fed Chairman Powell on the September rate cut. However, at 5 a.m. today, Bitcoin suddenly began to fall rapidly , falling from 61,870 USDT to 58,000 USDT in two hours, a drop of about 6.3%.

The decline of "mainstream altcoins" other than BTC is not much different from BTC. At 5 a.m., ETH fell 3.5%, BNB fell 2.17%, and SOL fell 3%. The Meme sector fell more sharply . During the same period, PEPE fell 5.9%, BONK fell 3.8%, BRETT fell 3.5%, and WIF fell 2.9%.

September Curse
Odaily 统计了过去自 2014 年以来 BTC 的每月表现数据如下,从每月表现均值来看,仅有三个月份平均是下跌的,且只有九月存在显著的跌幅,且下跌的年份占比也最多。但熬过了 9 月,就是上涨比例和幅度最大的 10 月。

This rule is not only reflected in the crypto market, but also in the long-term bull market of the U.S. stock market. The average monthly performance of the Nasdaq index over the past 10 years is shown in the figure below. There were only two years of growth in the past ten years, and in most cases there was a certain degree of decline.

Ethereum spot ETF continues to outflow, Vitalik is caught in a public opinion war
According to public data, the Ethereum spot ETF has experienced outflows for 9 consecutive days, with a cumulative net outflow of $481 million . The market expectation that "Grayscale's selling power will weaken and the overall market will turn to net inflows" did not happen.
Currently, Grayscale's Ethereum spot ETF ETHE has only outflowed about 35%, and it is not yet time for the marginal reversal of selling power. BlackRock, the main inflow of Bitcoin spot ETF before, has not shown the same positive power again. ETHE has a cumulative net outflow of US$2.55 billion, while BlackRock's ETHA has a net inflow of about US$1 billion. It will take a long time for the marginal reversal .
On the other hand, the community gradually lost confidence in Ethereum due to various problems such as weak token performance, poor application development, and serious homogeneity of a large number of Layer 2. The Ethereum Foundation transferred 35,000 ETH to Kraken on August 24 , which was worth about 94.07 million US dollars at the time. Vitalik, the soul of Ethereum, was also questioned for " not understanding DeFi". The founder of DeFiance Capital even said: "The worst view is that the founder of the largest L1 public chain does not really understand the use cases and industries that drive the price of ETH and make its market value as high as 330 billion US dollars. The price of ETH may be seen at $0.03."
Options data: Layout of long positions in September and October
Greeks.live Macro Researcher Adam posted on the X platform that cryptocurrencies are entering a pullback trend after several unsuccessful attempts to hit pressure levels. Implied volatility IV across all major maturities has fallen significantly, with BTC Dvol currently below 50%, and has only been below current levels for 30% of the time in the last year. Option data shows that RV fell from the high of 100% on August 9 to the current 40%, and the actual volatility level of BTC dropped drastically, which is also an important factor driving the decline of IV. In terms of block trading, block call options started to bottom out one after another today, with maturities mostly chosen at the end of September and the end of October, and users of the giant whale are starting to lay out long positions.
Rate cuts are priced in, and the market is entering a period of chaos
There is still debate about Vitalik’s cognition, the significance of his work and the Ethereum Foundation’s expenditure. The Federal Reserve’s interest rate cut in September is a foregone conclusion. The market has entered a period of insufficient expectations and chaos. The next grand narrative or expectation is urgently needed to ignite and lead the enthusiasm of the market and funds.
