This week's first open plan: Dogecoin's "MEME Counterattack"
A new week, and I choose to focus on that familiar yet controversial name—Dogecoin (DOGE).
Why DOGE? Not because its technological narrative is revolutionary, but because it embodies the most primitive and powerful forces in the crypto world: community consensus and MEME culture. When mainstream coins face liquidity droughts and volatility, and sectors like AI and RWA are repeatedly manipulated by institutional funds, Dogecoin might become a "safe haven" for emotional capital—it’s simple enough, recognizable enough, and strong enough

Oil Prices Break $100: Opportunities and Challenges at the Storm Center
On March 9th, international oil prices went completely "crazy"—WTI crude surged 25% overnight to surpass $114, and Brent crude broke through the $110 mark. Tensions in geopolitical situations, expectations of supply chain disruptions, and influxes of speculative capital all combined to trigger this epic rally.
This surge was no coincidence. Tensions in the Strait of Hormuz continued to escalate, threatening approximately 38% of global oil trade routes; coupled with increased compliance with OPEC+ production cuts and U.S. s

Her Power: Defining the Next Frontier of Web3
In the 24/7 relentless race of the crypto world, we have witnessed countless legends of code and capital. But behind the fluctuations of candlestick charts and the chaos of contract liquidations, there is a force quietly reshaping the industry's foundation—that is, the power of women in crypto.
From the academic halls of Ethereum core research to the product frontlines of leading exchanges; from DeFi protocol code contributors to NFT artists' creative workshops; from community DAO governance coordinators to educators guiding newcomers—women's prese

Negative growth of 92,000: The US economic puzzle behind the surprising February non-farm payrolls
On the evening of March 6th, Beijing time, a piece of news shook the global capital markets: the US non-farm employment decreased by 92,000 in February, far below market expectations of a 55,000 increase, marking the second monthly negative growth since 2020. The unemployment rate unexpectedly rose to 4.4%, above the expected 4.3%.
This is data enough to make the market "doubt its own existence."
1. The Big Picture: Where Does the Chill Come From?
On the surface, the deterioration in February emp

$68,000: A Barometer of the Bull Market or a Turning Point?
At three in the morning, the phone vibrated.
Groggily, you reached out, and the moment the screen lit up, all sleep was instantly shaken off—Bitcoin at $68,234.
Rubbing your eyes, you looked again, still $68,234. Not a dream.
Just two days ago, it was at a high of $74,050, greeted with cheers; yesterday, the group was still debating whether $8,000 could be broken. And now, that steep red candlestick on the chart, like a knife, has sliced through all optimism.
What happened?
On the news front, the Middle East situation is still ferment

A Night of Slight Decline: When the Market Presses Pause
The new high of $74,050 still hangs above the screen, like a freshly raised flag. But tonight, the flag gently fluttered in the wind — Bitcoin retreated to $72,300, down 2.8% in 24 hours. Ethereum fell below the $2,000 mark, and altcoins collectively gave back nearly 30% of their three-day gains.
Messages in the group slowed down. Rocket emojis disappeared, replaced by rows of “?” “Going to sleep” “See you tomorrow.” The person who usually posts gambling dog emojis was especially quiet tonight, only sharing a picture: a dog lying on the

Fires and Glows: The Safe-Haven Feast of Gold and Silver
In the spring of 2026, the global markets' focus is on two things: the fires in the Middle East and the brilliance of precious metals.
As Iran announced the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and news of escalating US-Iran conflicts spread worldwide, gold and silver—two traditional safe-haven assets—are writing a magnificent rally. By early March, international gold prices had broken through the $4,500 per ounce mark, and silver prices once reached a historic high of $71 per ounce. Year-to-date, gains have exceeded 70% for gold and 137% fo

Clash of Extremes — Structural Divergence Behind ETF Fund Reflows
In early March 2026, the crypto market presents a confusing picture: on one hand, Bitcoin fluctuates repeatedly between $66,000 and $70,000, showing overall weakness; on the other hand, institutional funds are quietly flowing back in. This divergence of “capital inflow and stagnant prices” reveals the current market’s structural characteristics.
CoinShares' latest data shows that in the week ending March 1, digital asset investment products recorded a net inflow of $1 billion, officially ending the previous five-week, $4 billion

The Differentiation of Roles in a Bear Market — Who Is Quietly Exiting During the "Small Dip"
Beneath the surface of the "small dip" in the crypto market, a profound structural differentiation is unfolding. The behavior patterns of different participants reveal the deeper characteristics of this adjustment.
The most noteworthy is the differentiation among institutional players. MicroStrategy, as the most steadfast bull in this cycle, has an average holding cost of about $76,000, and the current price has fallen below that cost line. This means that the once "buy and hold" flagship institution

The Battle Between Bulls and Bears in Range Fluctuations—Chips Turnover Behind Small Dips
If a sharp decline is a concentrated release of panic, then small dips are a patience contest between bulls and bears. In early March, the crypto market was caught in a classic "range tug-of-war"—Bitcoin repeatedly oscillated within a narrow band of $65,000 to $70,000, stuck between two difficult points.
This microstructure of the oscillation is worth noting. Data shows that over the past 24 hours, the total liquidation amount across the network exceeded $330 million, with more than 100,000 traders liquid
