Hormuz talks suddenly hit a snag; BTC trades sideways while ETH remains weak and range-bound, awaiting a directional move
The U.S.-Iran standoff has escalated again, and the Strait of Hormuz navigation agreement, which had originally been close to implementation, has officially been put on hold. Iranian officials made it clear that as long as the U.S. continues its military threats and fails to meet the conditions regarding the unfreezing of assets and compensation, the navigation agreement with Oman will be postponed indefinitely. Meanwhile, Trump’s side has said that there would be a result

The daytime market has been range-bound, while nighttime volatility has continued for nearly a week. BTC has gained 4420 points, and ETH has gained 124 points—this is Yue-jie’s rhythm.
Many people think the market is difficult to trade, that daytime volatility is small, and that there are no opportunities. But Yue-jie tells you: opportunities have never depended on how large or small the market movement is, but on whether you can understand it.
Look at this week—the high was 65348 and the low was 63211, creating a range of more than 2000 points. There were wave trades to catch every day. Wheth

Thursday: Rate hike expectations cool, intraday trading plans and strategy for Gold, SanDisk, and Micron
Last night, the U.S. July CPI data was fully in line with expectations. Although it eased some rate hike concerns, market reaction was mixed, showing signs that the bullish news had been fully priced in. Our intraday long strategy was fully realized, including the current-price long order given in the livestream, which was precisely harvested.
Gold: Overnight, price formed long wicks and swung sharply up and down, reaching as high as the 4450 area before coming under pressure and retreating

MERL is down -3.12% at 0.01830. Price is completely flatlined, squeezed perfectly between the 0.01821 support and 0.01843 resistance. MACD is at 0.00. Do not trade the chop. Wait for a break above 0.01843 or below 0.01821.

$BEAT is holding near $0.97 after a heavy selloff, and this area is worth watching.
Price dropped from $3.694 and eventually found buyers around $0.723. Since then, it has been moving in a tight range, with sellers struggling to push it back toward the recent low.
The first area I’d watch is $1.10–$1.20. A clean move above that could open the way toward $1.37 and possibly $1.50.
As long as $0.90–$0.97 holds, the setup can keep building. But I’d want to see a clear breakout before getting aggressive.

⚠️ Note... most Twitter recommendations are like this
They look for the latest low, drag it down by -50%, and tell you it is an accumulation zone
Is this technical analysis? Of course not... analysis pulled out of thin air 💯
Because it basically depends on Bitcoin's movement and assumes that if Bitcoin "were to" drop, the other coins would make a new low... but what if Bitcoin does not drop? ... you're left high and dry
I mean... it has nothing to do with technical analysis because it did not consider the support zone in the first place, nor did it rely on technical patterns or any technical
