【8.18 Gold Morning Outlook】
Fundamentals: A weaker U.S. dollar index + central bank gold purchases; the bullish logic remains unchanged. Wednesday’s minutes are expected to bring choppy shakeouts—don’t get shaken out.
Technical: The ascending channel remains intact, and the 4400 top-bottom flip has been confirmed. The overnight surge followed by a pullback was a “fake drop,” not a reversal.
Trading plan:
A pullback is an opportunity! Watch the 4390-4415 support zone and buy on dips.
Target 4450; if 4470 breaks, look for 4500.
💪 Hold your positions and wait patiently for the bloom.

Guys, I’m back to stubbornly shorting SanDisk. Why are you so strong? Just let me make enough for lunch.

The 4-hour chart has formed a strong bullish pattern, stabilizing at 62484 and rising in a six-candle bullish staircase. It has broken above the middle Bollinger Band, with the bands opening upward. The medium-term downtrend has ended, and bulls are firmly in control.
After rising to 64600, the 1-hour chart moved sideways, which is an air refueling phase during the uptrend, digesting profit-taking and building momentum for another move higher.
Bullish resonance across the large and small timeframes, with strong long sentiment. As long as there is no high-volume bearish candle breaking below sh

Fellow crypto friends, how do you deal with this? Out of sight, out of mind? It’s just here to embarrass itself. If it can’t be used, why issue it?

#VitalikProposesNewEthereumScalingPath Vitalik Proposes a New Ethereum Scaling Path: The Next Big Leap Could Be About State, Not Just Speed
🚨 Ethereum scaling may be entering a completely new phase.
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin recently highlighted Bitcoin developers' work on Utreexo and described a proposed Ethereum scaling direction that could combine the strengths of different state models. The idea is still under development—not an approved upgrade—but it could have major implications for Ethereum's long-term architecture.

8/18 Gold:
On the daily chart, the current gold price is trading near the upper Bollinger Band, with the Bollinger Bands opening upward and the medium-term bullish trend clearly intact. MACD remains at a high level. Although the red bars have narrowed slightly, both lines are still moving upward, and upward momentum remains.
Recently, the price has been moving sideways in the 4449–4430 range, representing a brief consolidation after the surge. Resistance is at 4449, with support at 4267. In the short term, focus on range-bound consolidation and do not blindly chase highs. Waiting for a pullbac

Many people say gold is an inflation-hedging asset, but I think that is only half right.
If we calculate from 2009 to the present, gold has indeed significantly outperformed China’s CPI.
If you had used 100k yuan to buy gold in 2009, it would be worth nearly 400k yuan today.
So from the perspective of inflation in ordinary consumer goods, gold has not only outperformed inflation in the yuan, but has done so by a very clear margin.
But there is one easily overlooked issue here:
CPI is not the same as the true cost of living for a person in China.
The inflation we actually face includes not only

Use a stop-loss
ETH rallied and pulled back, with the MACD death cross continuing. Price is hugging the lower Bollinger Band, while RSI is nearing oversold, so room to chase shorts is limited. Wait for a rebound near the middle band and confirmation of resistance before trying a small short position. Don’t chase the decline; set the stop above the previous high and exit to the sidelines if it breaks out. If a clear stabilization signal appears near the lower band, cautiously trade a sma
