Jiang Zhuoer: BTC may first rally to $84,000 before pulling back to $72,000

Prominent crypto trader Bonk Guy has stated in a post that his stance on Solana and its associated ecosystem is gradually shifting from bearish to bullish. Previously, he argued that Robinhood Chain and BNB Chain would likely outperform Solana in the current cycle, and has written a related analysis that remains unpublished. The shift stems mainly from Solana’s recent renewed focus on its on-chain meme trading communities, core team members reaching out to him proactively, and the Solana official account and co-founder Toly beginning to publicly engage with ecosystem projects including STONK and USELESS. He views this as a sign that Solana is becoming more proactive in supporting projects and communities that drive ecosystem growth. Bonk Guy emphasized that he has never questioned Solana’s technology and infrastructure, but rather the ecosystem culture and the impact of some profit-seekers on users. Given the recent developments, he has submitted his original bearish analysis to the Solana team, and noted that if the analysis is later made public, he will add more context and details about his stance on Solana.

CryptoQuant data shows Bitcoin’s Spent Output Profit Ratio (SOPR) has stayed above the break-even line of 1 for three consecutive weeks since August 19, marking the longest such stretch since 2026, with the current reading at roughly 1.002. A SOPR above 1 indicates that BTC transferred on-chain is overall in a profitable state. On-chain analytics platform Checkonchain notes that during bear markets, price rebounds into profitable territory usually trigger sell-offs, while brief dips below the break-even line in bull markets often create dip-buying opportunities, and the current market structure is approaching the early recovery phase of a bull market. However, David Puell, portfolio manager at ARK Invest, argues Bitcoin still faces downside risks. For more conclusive evidence that the bear market has ended, SOPR needs to remain above 1 for a longer period, and BTC prices must form consecutive higher highs and higher lows.

Beating AI News Flash: Harrison Kim, OpenAI’s head of Korea, said OpenAI is co-developing and manufacturing next-generation chips with Samsung Electronics, with clear progress made in the collaboration. He did not disclose details on the chip’s architecture, process technology, or mass production timeline. Previously, Samsung mainly served as a supplier in OpenAI’s chip roadmap. Last year, when both parties joined the Stargate Korea project, Samsung’s stated role was to provide OpenAI with advanced memory chips, as well as wafer foundry and advanced packaging capabilities. This marks the first time Samsung has explicitly entered the joint R&D and production of next-generation chips. OpenAI’s first self-developed inference chip, Jalape?o, was launched in June this year, co-developed with Broadcom and manufactured by TSMC, with deployment planned for the end of the year. OpenAI noted at the time that Jalape?o is only the first generation, with multiple subsequent chip generations to follow.
