8.18 Linmu’s Early-Morning Gold Analysis
Safe-haven sentiment and expectations of interest-rate cuts are reinforcing each other, while central bank gold purchases are providing a floor for gold prices. Although the strong dollar is applying pressure, bullish sentiment remains strong.
Watch for a short-term pullback caused by profit-taking toward the end of the U.S. session. Overall fundamentals remain bullish, and any pullback is a good opportunity to go long.
The 15-minute chart shows gold breaking through 4428 to a new high, but KDJ is severely overbought, and resistance has emerged around 4

$ON It has dropped another 10% in the past hour. My 0.392 short position is still open, with floating profit nearly 8 points. But this isn’t bragging—it’s a warning: the sell-off in this coin is going far too smoothly, so smoothly that it gives me chills. Trading volume is 13.4M, and the price is hovering around the 24h low of 0.3528. Every rebound is just a wick. I know this pattern too well: a typical “downtrend continuation” or “final plunge.” Right now, it’s all about betting on the turning point.
Here’s my plan, no pretending: keep the short open, move the stop loss down to 0.375 to lock

Bitcoin is currently at 63100. It cannot rise, but it also cannot fall, grinding back and forth and testing people's patience. Watching the chart spike up and down, going long risks a sudden sell-off, while going short risks an immediate rally and breakout, repeatedly getting stopped out by the market. Most retail traders are stuck taking hits back and forth in this kind of consolidation range, chasing rises and

#MyQixiTradingShare WALL STREET’S XRP EXPOSURE JUST GOT A LOT BIGGER
THE BIG NUMBER
Jane Street has made a striking move in the XRP ETF market. According to its Q2 2026 Form 13F, covering holdings as of June 30, 2026, the trading firm reported more than 1.2 million shares of Bitwise’s XRP ETF, compared with just 20,605 shares at the end of Q1.

HAPPENS EVERY CYCLE. EVERY TIME.
$BTC pumps.
Retail gets excited.
Everyone starts believing the old rules no longer apply.
Then the cycle turns.
At $64K, the crowd is uncertain.
At $125K, the same crowd will be fighting to get in.
This is the psychology of every market cycle:
Fear creates opportunity.
Confidence creates FOMO.
Euphoria creates the exit liquidity.
The hardest part is not knowing that the cycle repeats.
The hardest part is having the conviction to act when everyone else is still afraid.
History doesn't repeat perfectly.
But human psychology does.
