8.18 Toujinke Gold Evening Review: A 50-point flash crash creates a bottom-fishing window! Gold bears’ momentum is exhausted

After surging to the session high of 4436 in the early session, gold faced concentrated selling pressure from bears, with prices quickly plunging to the intraday low of 4386. It then entered a low-level range-bound tug-of-war, as bulls and bears repeatedly battled. Overall, the market showed a corrective move that rose first and fell afterward, with short-term bulls and bears locked in a standoff around the key 4400 level.

After surging and retreating on the 10-minut

The profit is thin, but it grew on its own—I didn't touch it at all. $HEMI When I checked the chart just after lunch, the position I entered at 0.005583 had already floated up to 0.006908, a +467.99% return. Although it isn't a huge gain, this bite of profit feels satisfying.

I kept watching during the repeated intraday swings. Buying pressure strengthened, and every pullback was supported. Hold as long as the trend remains intact; get out if it breaks down. Someone asked whether I was afraid—afraid of what? Manage your position size properly, and leave the rest to the market.

$BTC weekly CVD is starting to look stronger.
ETF flows flipped back positive over the last 3 days, while price also managed to close the day with a bullish candle. The average CVD trend remains constructive, but the biggest whale group is still playing defense, so I wouldn’t call this a clean breakout setup yet.
On the liquidation map, liquidity is building on both sides, below $63.7K and above $65K. That makes these two zones important in the short term, with price likely to hunt one side before showing a clearer direction.
For now, buyers are improving, but the whales still need to follow.

#Japan5YearYieldHitsRecordHigh — A Major Warning Signal for Japan’s Bond Market
Japan’s 5-year government bond yield has reached a record high, marking another major development in the country’s dramatic shift away from its long era of ultra-low interest rates.
On August 18, 2026, the 5-year JGB yield briefly reached around 2.18%, a record level, before easing after a closely watched government bond auction. Reuters reported that the yield later fell to about 2.15%, while demand at the 5-year auction was the strongest since June 2025.
This move matters because Japan has historically been one o

August 18 Jinman Gold Evening Review: Don’t rush to enter during the pullback; wait for support to stabilize before setting up long positions!
Gold prices came under pressure and pulled back from their highs, with the adjustment continuing in the morning session. The current quote is 4392.97, and prices have entered a pullback correction cycle below the interim high of 4449.84.
The short-term chart shows that bullish momentum faded after the surge, with prices falling and weakening consecutively. In the short term, there is currently insufficient momentum to break higher. On the 4-hour chart,

8.18 Gold, Tuesday Evening
Gold surged to a high of 4370 on the 7th of this month, followed by a slight pullback on the 10th. It has now risen again to test highs near 4440. The previous consecutive gains have already overextended the rebound momentum, and a subsequent pullback is the overall trend. The general strategy remains to favor short positions at high levels!

After surging to test the high near 4440 this morning, gold came under pressure and pulled back. It is currently fluctuating near 4400, with clear resistance above and insufficient follow-through from the bulls after the surge.

8.18 Gold Evening Review
The midday range-bound plan played out perfectly. Gold stayed within the range, with all support and resistance levels matching price action.
Technical analysis: The Bollinger Bands on the 30-minute and 1-hour charts continue to tighten, with gold near the middle band; RSI is neutral, with no clear one-way momentum. Expect continued sideways consolidation tonight as bulls and bears battle repeatedly.
Resistance: 4407, 4420; support: 4386, 4377.
Coco's Recommendation: Treat tonight as range-bound. Buy dips around 4368‑4388, targeting 4405 and 4425. The U.S. session may

#GateRecordsOver273MIn7-DayNetInflows

$273M+ IN 7 DAYS — THE MONEY FLOW IS GETTING HARDER TO IGNORE.
Crypto markets can send mixed signals through price, but capital flows often reveal where confidence is actually moving.
According to DeFiLlama data, Gate recorded more than $273 million in net inflows over the past seven days, placing it among the top three centralized exchanges globally for the period.
That number deserves attention.
A strong net inflow means capital is entering the platform faster than it is leaving during the measured period. While inflows alone cannot guar
