1. Market Environment

In the past 24 hours, the price of BTC has fluctuated within a narrow range. A large accumulation of short positions above $62,000 has made this level a critical target for resistance and support shifts.

Meanwhile, the US Ethereum ETF has seen fund outflows for five consecutive days, marking the longest streak of continuous outflows since its launch on July 23. According to data from Farside Investors, apart from August 12 when the Grayscale Fund reported no net flows, ETHE has experienced daily outflows. As of August 22, the outflows have exceeded $2.52 billion.

2. Wealth Creation Sectors

2.1 Sector Movements – Solana Memecoins (FWOG and POPCAT)

Primary reasons:

The wealth effect of tokens launched by the Sunpump platform has started to decline, leading to a return of speculative capital to the Solana ecosystem. This influx of funds is causing previously hyped and bottomed-out memecoins to rebound.

Gainers: FWOG and POPCAT rose by 37.78% and 28.51% respectively within 24 hours.

Factors affecting future market conditions:

SOL trend: The price of SOL influences the prices of Solana ecosystem tokens, as many trading pairs on DEXs are priced in SOL. Monitor SOL's price trend closely. If SOL continues to rise, holding SOL ecosystem assets may be advisable.
Changes in open interest: SOL's recent increase in open interest suggests increased hot money inflows. Consider using tv.coinglass to gauge the movement of major funds and monitor futures data. Start by observing the uptick in net long positions, and then monitor the futures data for any increase in open interest and trading volume. Such trends typically signify heightened bullish sentiment, implying potential stability in holdings.

2.2 Sector Movements – DeFi (CAKE and CHESS)

Primary reasons:

The BNB Chain has introduced a memecoin issuance platform called Four.Meme, which features a points promotion. Users can complete tasks on a designated page to earn points, redeemable for BNB Chain ecosystem memecoins such as FOUR and WHY. CAT, a memecoin on the BNB Chain, saw trading volumes exceed $117 million on its launch day. Increased activity and wealth effects on the BNB Chain have stimulated the ecosystem's DeFi projects, resulting in price increases as hot money flows in.

Gainers: CAKE rose by 11.32% and CHESS by 28.55% within 24 hours.

Factors affecting future market conditions:

Protocol metrics: These metrics are crucial in assessing a protocol's activity level, including daily active users, trading volume, and profitability. For instance, AAVE achieving historical highs in these metrics under the current market conditions naturally prompts the market to adjust its market cap valuation accordingly. Conversely, if the protocol metrics do not grow, there is no reason for the market to be optimistic about the protocol's development.
Profit distribution: An increasing number of DeFi protocols are linking their tokens to protocol revenue, a business model that reactivates token trading enthusiasm. Investors have ample reason to hold the token, so the advancement of the protocol's profit distribution will significantly impact the token price.
