The options market must be making a killing—if you had positioned yourself in advance, this move could have brought instant financial freedom. Too bad the bullets ran out before the opportunity came.

I meant to cut my losses as a sacrifice to the heavens, but the ritual never happened—the meat roasted itself instead.🍖 During the early-session sell-off, I saw that $CHZ ’s rebound had no volume behind it. Every push higher looked like an act, with firm resistance capping the upside. Anyone with some experience could tell it was under pressure at elevated levels. Price action kept moving lower, so I knew what was coming: sideways consolidation at elevated levels is most vulnerable to a sudden reversal. I thought, isn’t this free money? I shorted around 0.03552, set a stop-loss, and went to ha

Bollinger Band exposure is expanding, with the price hugging the upper band. However, both the upper and lower bands are rising simultaneously, indicating a strong bullish trend but severe short-term overbought conditions. The current price has deviated excessively from the middle band, creating mean-reversion pressure.
All three RSI lines have risen above the extreme 80 zone and are showing high-level flattening, while signs of price-volume divergence are emerging. Be alert for a “stop-loss hunt after a short squeeze” move—after the price breaks above the previous hi

The Federal Reserve officials’ concerns about inflation risks deepened further at the July FOMC meeting. The minutes showed that several policymakers believed that if inflation could not continue falling toward the 2% target, the Fed would need to raise interest rates to avoid taking larger and more costly tightening measures in the future. The size of US reverse repos and Treasuries doubled, while the US Securities and Exchange Commission released the draft “Regulation Crypto Asse

As soon as the news broke last night that U.S. Treasury debt had doubled, gold prices surged violently, reaching as high as the 4527 area.
The previous range-bound pattern has been completely broken, so everyone just needs to follow the trend now.
I also mentioned in an earlier post that if gold breaks strongly above and holds 4450, you can go long with the trend.
Intraday, first watch the resistance around 4550, then wait for an opportunity to buy on dips.
Trading suggestion: Go long around 4490 and 4470, target 4450. $BTC

On August 20, two U.S. officials told Axios that the U.S. military had quietly established a shipping corridor into and out of the Strait of Hormuz, transporting millions of barrels of oil daily. Although the broader war remains deadlocked, the operation has achieved significant results. The operation has been ongoing for several weeks, and 15 to 20 oil tankers have so far passed into and out of the Strait of Hormuz via the southern route along the coast of Oman. Officials said about 10 million barrels of oil are transported out through the strait and into global energy markets each day, but t

August 20 Wanxin Gold Morning Analysis:
Safe-haven demand will support prices only in the short term, while the Federal Reserve has retained the possibility of raising interest rates, and the broader environment remains suppressive.
Overbought at the highs, with bulls lacking momentum. Key support levels are 4480, 4470, and 4445.
If support holds, consider entering long positions; consecutive breaks below support would signal a further pullback. Do not chase highs, and strictly control risk.
Gold: Go long on a pullback near 4445–4470
Target: 4500–4520

#BTC升破69000美元日内涨幅6.43%
In my opinion, it is a bit too early to declare that "the bull is back," but dismissing this move as a mere "pump" wouldn't be right either.
BTC is currently hovering around the $69.5K–$70K range, having risen approximately 7–8% in the last 24 hours. More importantly, this move is backed by significant trading volume and massive short liquidations. It was reported that over $1 billion in short positions were liquidated in just about an hour yesterday.
Here is how I interpret the situation:
$69K isn't a "return home," but rather the door opening once again.

8.20 Linmu’s Morning Gold Analysis
The geopolitical situation has really been far from peaceful lately. Risk-aversion sentiment is like a time bomb, exploding from time to time, sending all the funds into gold.
On top of that, the rate-cut winds from the Federal Reserve are blowing stronger and stronger, while the dollar is being pressured to the point of struggling to breathe, giving gold an excellent excuse to rise.
The market logic is very firm now: as long as rate-cut expectations remain and the geopolitical powder keg has not been defused, gold’s floor will remain elevated. Any pullback i

$ETH
Ethereum experienced a sharp rise on August 19th following the US Treasury Department's decision to expand its bond repurchase program. The price surged 19.5% in 24 hours, reaching $2,286, before briefly climbing to $2,334 during the day before pulling back slightly.
The direct trigger for this move was the Treasury's decision to increase the amount of long-term bond repurchases to $4 billion per transaction. This move lowered long-term interest rates and increased demand for risk assets. In Ethereum's case, another factor contributing to the rise was the liquidation of approximately $5.
