🌙8.25 Tuesday｜#以太坊 #ETH In-Depth Review: The 2,500 Door Has Been Knocked on Three Times
No side topics today—let's break down Ethereum clearly.
First, let's look at the chart. Starting from the big bullish candle on August 19, Ether surged from around 1,900 to 2,520 in one go, gaining more than 30% in four days. What happened after the rally? It didn't fall. It moved sideways between 2,400 and 2,530 for three days. Experienced traders know that holding at high levels without falling after a major rally is itself a sign of strength. $ETH
The 15-minute chart shows it most clearly: A sharp sell

August 25 Sandisk Analysis
“Openly repairing the plank road while secretly crossing through Chencang.” Sandisk’s price is being pushed down, but large funds are quietly accumulating at lower levels. A typical “price suppression and accumulation” play; judging from the current fund flows, some are “securing profits” at the highs.
The current price is sliding from the upper band toward the middle band, so those looking to buy the dip should not rush in aggressively. Small positions can be used to test the waters. Set the stop-loss below 147.

The market rewards patience, not panic. 🧠📊
One thing I'm learning from trading is that you don't need to catch every move.
Sometimes the best trade is the one you don't take.
I'm watching market structure, volume and confirmation before entering my next setup. No FOMO. No revenge trading. Just patience and risk management. 🎯

I originally wanted to cut losses and sacrifice them to the heavens, but the ritual never happened—the meat cooked itself. 😂

During the repeated intraday swings, $SKYAI kept falling just short every time it pushed upward, with the resistance above being all too obvious. I had just one thought: with this kind of price action, it would be inexcusable for shorts not to participate. I entered directly at 0.07390, without expecting an immediate result. Who would have thought it would give me the answer overnight?

It is now at 0.05014, up +788.41% from entry, and the short position has paid off

PRE-MARKET: US-listed crypto names broadly higher; MSTR +1.8%, COIN +1.96%, CRCL +1.27%, BMNR +2.11%, SBET -1.1%. Broad risk-off/tech-like rotation keeping crypto exposure bid early. $BTC ? $ETH?

Is there a signal with a 95% win rate hidden on the NEAR 4-hour chart?

Trading plan:
Entry: 1.9391 – 1.9605
SL: 1.8469
TP1: 2.0270
TP2: 2.0784
TP3: 2.1556

Why pay attention to this setup?
- The intraday trend is clearly bullish, with a 4h pullback to the EMA support zone at 1.9391-1.9605.
- RSI on the 15m chart is only 42.39, leaving plenty of room for a short-term oversold rebound—this is the entry window.
- ATR 0.04288 indicates moderate volatility and controllable risk; the SL at 1.8469 is 5.3% from the entry, offering an ideal risk-reward ratio.
- Why now? The pric

What insights do you have from seeing this picture?

BREAKING: Bitcoin has just tested its 50-week moving average.
Historically, weekly closes above this level have often marked the beginning of major bullish moves.
If BTC holds above it again, could we be looking at another bull-market setup?
The strength is definitely worth watching.#TopFiveLeaguesPreMatchPredictor #GoldmanSachsBullishOnCXMT $BTC

A few days ago, I was still calculating whether I had enough money for instant noodles this month. This morning, I was already wondering whether to add a sausage. Don’t laugh—this turnaround was all thanks to one short position. While everyone was still waiting on the sidelines, I saw that $RENDER ’s rebound was losing steam, resistance overhead was obvious, and volume wasn’t keeping up, so I felt the trend was about to reverse. Sure enough, I entered a short while the price was grinding along the bottom intraday, entering at 2.0363 and now at 1.5125, +1238.77%. My account perked up on its own.

Would you dare chase ZEC at $850?
First, on the surface: it surged from 450 all the way to 888, doubling in just two weeks.
It has risen over 60% in the past week and over 70% in the past month, reaching an 8-year high. 24-hour futures volume exploded to several billion dollars, with market FOMO reaching an extreme. The weekly inverse head-and-shoulders breakout, complete Ichimoku bullish alignment, and confirmed large-scale reversal have opened up further upside.
