Last night, a familiar time rewrote the market’s fate
Over the past week, CPI, PPI, and retail sales all failed to make the market truly choose a direction; on Monday, an obscure New York manufacturing data point was the first to break the calm.
Monday’s market movement was a story of “one data point rewriting the market’s fate.”
The data released last night (at the familiar 20:30 for investors) showed that the U.S. August Empire State Manufacturing Index unexpectedly rose to 20.6 (15.6 in July), marking the fastest expansion in four years, while the market had expected it to fall to 10.

8.18 Ether, Tuesday, afternoon
Continuing with the morning outlook unchanged, after surging in the morning to test the 1918 high, the price came under pressure and pulled back. Resistance above is clear, and the bulls lack follow-through after the surge.
Currently, the market is in a high-level consolidation phase. Do not blindly chase longs; focus on whether the resistance above can be effectively broken.
Trading strategy
Short in the 1915–1930 range on a rebound; if the pullback holds above 1895, continue to view it as range-bound consolidation. After a breakdown, look toward 1853–1868$ETH #

#NvidiaAndOpenAISecure12GWCompute
Nvidia has made a deal with OpenAI and SB Energy. They are going to get 12GW of power for their intelligence computers in Ohio. This deal is for 20 years. The first part of the power 4.25GW will be ready by 2028. This is a commitment. It means Nvidia and OpenAI are planning for a time, not just a short time.
They are doing this because they want to make sure they have power for their computers. Now the biggest problem is not the computers themselves but getting enough power and space for them. SB Energy is helping with this.
If we look at the chart for Nvidia

8.18 Bitcoin, Tuesday afternoon
The early-morning outlook remains unchanged: after surging overnight to test the 64,592 high, price came under pressure and retreated. Resistance overhead is clearly capping the market, and the bulls lack follow-through after the surge.
After surging, the market has continued to consolidate within a range, with signs of pressure at the highs emerging. Do not blindly chase the rally in the short term; focus on whether the overhead resistance can be effectively broken.
Trading strategy
Short on a rebound into the 64,600–65,200 range. If the pullback holds above 63

#晒出我的合约收益 July/August will be mainly range-bound, followed by the “golden September and silver October.” The current crypto trend is mainly about shaking out weak-handed positions. That is how a bear market works: the broader trend will continue reshuffling positions through next October. In the short term, there may be market opportunities in September and October. Now is the time to start positioning. For futures trading, intraday trading is recommended as the main approach. The range has not yet been broken, and the bulls and bears remain locked in a fierce tug-of-war, so it is not advisabl

$TUT
Guys, take a look at TUT—looking at the chart, it feels like a trade worth taking. It’s down 5% today, which looks scary, but look closely—the volume has already dried up, selling pressure is fading, and someone is buying the dips. There are more buy orders than sell orders in the order book, with capital quietly flowing in. The price around 0.043 has been tested several times without breaking below, showing that someone is willing to accumulate at this level. It can’t fall any further—that’s the opportunity. For a small-cap coin like TUT, once sentiment recovers, it can rally harder tha

8.18 Midday Solana $SOL Shorting Strategy
Entry: Short around 75.80–76.30
Defense: 76.75
First target: 75.25
Second target: 74.70
After the market surged to a high of 76.40, it met resistance and quickly pulled back. The rebound lacked follow-through, with bullish momentum rapidly fading after the surge, indicating a corrective rebound following a sharp decline. 75.80–76.30 is the previous surge's chip pressure zone. Once the price rebounds to this level, short-term trapped selling pressure above will create strong resistance. The market can only change its short-term weak range-bound trend b
