#夏日创作营 Oil prices breaking above 100 is just the start!? Is there still a way for gold bulls?
Today’s focus
After news broke that the Houthis attacked two Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea, Trump responded forcefully on Thursday, vowing that if the Houthis launch similar attacks again, the U.S. will hold Iran responsible and impose “significant military penalties” on Iran and its allies. This statement signals another upgrade in U.S. policy toward Iran. Previously, U.S. airstrikes were mainly limited to military targets within Iran and facilities related to the Strait of Hormuz, while the word

Did nothing, just went to the restroom—and when I came back, the K-line had already finished the short-side work for me. In the early session, when it got dumped, $TAO fell cleanly from the highs. Those previous few rebounds looked like there was action, but in reality the bids kept staying weak; nobody was there to take it when it pushed up.

Before the chart fully kicked off, I looked at TAO. The key wasn’t whether it could lift another leg, but whether every pullback had buy-side follow-through. The result was very clear: volume didn’t keep up, while selling pressure only got heavier. So

I only meant to grab a quick breakfast, but the market directly handed the short-selling momentum right to my mouth. A few days ago, after the afternoon session surged, it clearly lost steam; I watched $PIPPIN overhead meet heavy pressure, saw that every rally ran out of a little breath, so I signaled a short entry around 0.0197.
Then the price kept sliding all the way back, and the current price is now 0.0166. This +309.84% already answers the question—however much you had to wait and grind ahead of time, stepping out is just as sweet.
First, lock in the bulk: close 80% of the short. Move the

Bitcoin’s four bear market cycles: the chart pattern is completely identical—what stage are we in right now?
I can’t help but share this after looking at the charts: I’ve mapped out Bitcoin’s four bear market cycles—2014, 2018, 2022, and our current 2026 round—and you’ll find the four market runs look almost exactly the same.
Each cycle will complete this same set of 6 stages:
1. Market peak: All-out euphoria, everyone shouting that Bitcoin will surge to $100k, $200k, even a million dollars. This cycle’s peak occurs in October 2025, when the price touched $126,000.
2. First wave of decline + a

Robinhood trenches lately

🚨 Bitcoin mining giant Poolin has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the United States.
Once controlling nearly 20% of Bitcoin's global hashrate, the company listed more than $100 million in liabilities and less than $10 million in assets in its bankruptcy filing.

Best guess for the next round of squiggles for Bitcoin. Seems we can't seem to break the pattern of breakouts, re-tests then mean revisions to diagonals. We are still not see capital being injected into crypto, it's still rotation for now.

Just finished lunch and was watching the market. The green lights on the screen suddenly became densely packed; this drop came even more decisively than I expected. Earlier, $SHIB had been churning at high levels with low trading volume. The rebound didn’t manage to form any solid follow-through. Every time price moved close to a key level, it was pushed back. At the time, I’d rather wait for the short side to confirm than get carried along by fake moves.

As the chart kept oscillating back and forth, I noticed SHIB couldn’t hold steady for a long time. So around 0.000005663, I opened a long

A few days ago in the afternoon, I was still hesitating about whether to close out the position. I didn’t expect that right after I finished reading the bad news, $PENGU would start to show signs of fatigue. During that period, the price didn’t look like it had clearly collapsed, but in reality the overhead pressure had been there the whole time. Buyers kept trying over and over, but couldn’t keep up. Each rebound was shorter than the last. What I saw wasn’t strong buildup—it was the gradual thinning of the support.
While everyone else is still watching from the sidelines, I waited until PENG

This time, shorting $BTC , what really made me pull the trigger wasn’t a single big bearish candle—but rather the repeated attempts at higher levels again and again, with no solid follow-through. The price started to weaken around 76,861.4, and by the time it reached 64,137.9, the shorts finally managed to release the sell pressure from above.

At the beginning, it was pretty grinding—several wicks almost washed me out. Holding a short position, it’s inevitable to feel anxious. But when I watched the order book, I noticed that every rebound was getting weaker: people chasing longs couldn’t pus
