8.3 Sora $SOL short-selling analysis
Entry: short 73.30 - 73.60
Set a proper defense stop-loss
First target: 72.90 - 72.60
Second target: 72.40 - 72.10
In the early session, Sora surged to create a 74.30 intraday high, then quickly turned and plunged; the entire move oscillated lower. The strength of any short-term rebounds is weak, forming a clear bearish downward structure. During the spike, bullish momentum was exhausted at once; there was no sustained buying support behind the rise. Subsequently, the sell-off increased in volume noticeably. Short-term bullish follow-through is seriously l

72 hours. Three hurdles. The bill hasn’t even been put on the table yet.
August 3rd, Monday.
The Senate released this week’s agenda.
The CLARITY bill is not on it.
Instead, there will be a procedural vote on the H.R.6500 continuing resolution.
August 7th, the Senate adjourns.
Time left for the bill: 72 hours.
But the problem is—
They can’t even reach the starting line.
Do you think 72 hours is long?
Let me break down the Senate’s inhuman procedure for you.
First hurdle: Submitting a cloture motion requires 16 senators’ signatures.
16 people. Sounds like not many? But this is a request to “end

#BitcoinSmallTransfersHitPostFTXHigh Bitcoin Small Transfers Hit Post FTX High
I have been watching on chain data every week since the FTX collapse in late 2022 and August 2026 just gave us a signal that most people are missing. The number of small Bitcoin transfers is now at its highest level since November 2022. That means transactions under 0.1 BTC, and especially those under 0.01 BTC, have surged to levels we have not seen in almost 4 years. This is not about whales moving coins to exchanges. This is about regular users, wallets, and payments coming back in a big way.

MU’s early morning 8:55 resistance zone is decisively bearish. After the pullback, it dropped to 8:38 and successfully captured a 17-point move!
The game plan was announced in advance—market action declined as expected. Those who positioned themselves with the trend will steadily reap; those clinging to a counter-trend rebound only have to endure a passive grind. Have you all managed to catch this pullback?
Shiyuan reminder: In the afternoon, MU is still weak—any rebound is basically a “Songkong opportunity”!$MU

How big is the actual leading significance of the clear bill for the Bitcoin cycle?
The spot ETF that the crypto community cares about most, and the division of regulatory powers and responsibilities, are all being contested around this bill. The core is to resolve regulatory uncertainty and bring clarity to the on-chain environment.
From a deeper perspective, the focus is on formally establishing Bitcoin’s status as a large-scale commodity, along with the compliant path for allocating it. This should be one of the most important narratives for the next bull market;

#GateCardUpTo8%Cashback Everyday spending is becoming more rewarding as crypto payment solutions continue to evolve. Cashback programs linked to digital asset payment cards are helping bridge the gap between traditional finance and the cryptocurrency ecosystem, giving users an opportunity to earn rewards on purchases they already make.
A cashback rate of up to 8% can be an attractive benefit for frequent users, especially when combined with convenient global payments and digital asset management. However, smart financial decisions always begin with understanding the program's eligibility requi

8.3 Gold Midday Analysis
After the morning gold price fell, it rebounded slightly, but the buying pressure was insufficient, and the market is still range-bound. The rebound pushed near the upper Bollinger Band, but the upside lacked momentum; resistance has become prominent, and the moving averages have not broken out of a one-way uptrend.
At present, market sentiment is cautious, with no fresh news to drive the US dollar higher; gold is unlikely to break the range.
Wait for price to rebound to 4075-4095, then open shorts in batches. Targets are, in sequence: 4055, 4030, and 4000.
Reminder:

8.3 Jinglu Midday Brief Review
After BTC previously surged to the 63,796.33 high point, it continued to decline. Short-side positions were fully released; the price repeatedly consolidated and based itself in the lower range. With support levels below firmly stable, and combined with easing in external geopolitical tensions, market risk appetite has rebounded. Funds have gradually returned to the order book. Technically, the downtrend has slowed, and sell-off stabilization signals have appeared. The midday rebound and repair rally has already kicked off, and the pace of the bulls’ counterattac

#USD1StakingEarnUpTo8%APR USD1 Staking Earn Up To 8 Percent APR
I have been testing stablecoin yield products since early 2025 and in August 2026 the conversation has finally shifted from hype to real revenue. USD1 staking is the clearest example right now. The headline is simple. Stake USD1 and earn up to 8 percent APR. But what matters is where that yield comes from, how safe it is, and whether it makes sense in the current rate environment. After 6 weeks of using it, reading the reserve reports, and talking to treasury teams who are using it for working capital, here is my full breakdown.

U.S.-Iran talks send easing signals, and falling oil prices improve global risk appetite
After news of U.S.-Iran negotiations emerged, international oil prices dropped significantly, with markets broadly believing that geopolitical risks have eased temporarily. Previously, tensions in the Middle East had remained high, and investors had been worried that energy supplies could be affected, leading international oil prices to rise rapidly. As both sides returned to the negotiating table, the market began to reassess expectations for future crude oil supply, and risk-hedging sentiment clearly coo
