2)ETF Flows Turn Negative; $80,000 Shifts from Support to Resistance

Crypto ETF outflows reached approximately $202 million on August 28. With BTC yet to regain a firm position above $80,000, the short-term market remains influenced by rate expectations, geopolitical risk and fund flows.

2、Market Highlights

1)U.S.-Iran Tensions Escalate; Oil Returns Above $90

The U.S. military confirmed strikes on two launch facilities on Iran’s Larak Island, after which Iran carried out a counterattack. The risk premium surrounding the Strait of Hormuz rose again, and Brent crude briefly moved above $90 in Asian morning trading. If tensions continue to escalate, higher oil prices could further lift inflation expectations, creating a pressure chain from oil prices to inflation, interest rates and risk assets.

2)Marvell Beats Expectations, but Shares Still Fall More Than 10%

MRVL reported quarterly revenue of $2.739 billion, with data-center revenue up 46% year over year, and raised its FY27/FY28 revenue outlook. However, because incremental revenue from its custom-chip cooperation with Google is not expected to become significant until fiscal 2029, the market viewed earnings performance and large-order realization as occurring on different timelines. MRVL fell approximately 10.3% on Friday.

Watchlist: MRVL, MVLL

Spot: MRVLON

Futures: MRVL / MVLL

3)SK Hynix Begins Construction of a U.S. HBM Packaging Facility Worth More Than $4 Billion

On August 27, SK Hynix held a groundbreaking ceremony for its advanced-packaging facility in West Lafayette, Indiana. The project represents an investment of more than $4 billion. The cleanroom is scheduled to be completed in October 2028, with next-generation HBM4E production expected to begin in the second half of 2029.
