Macro core: A U.S. Treasury market intervention plan is lowering long-term borrowing costs, while the U.S. Dollar Index is under pressure and weakening. Combined with U.S. national debt surpassing $40 trillion, capital is accelerating into “debasem

That move above 80K was the tail end of the short squeeze
I bet it would break above 80K, but it was only that one move and it failed to hold
The shorts were squeezed dry, but there was no new money to take over, so it rolled back to 78.5K
Altcoins collapsed first, with SOL down three points in a day
I said last week that the finale would be the liveliest, and I wasn't wrong at all
Everyone chasing the highs got wrecked in altcoins. I'm not catching those knives

Recently, small-cap tokens on Robinhood, especially with pons v2 already live, have generally failed to take off. I think a major reason is that many people do not even know @ponsdotfamily already supports a cashback model, while many devs deliberately launch tokens with taxes going to themselves.
For example, QUEEZING could have taken off yesterday, but a bunch of people rushed into the dev-tax token, and it ultimately died.
Let me tell you: although trading terminals may not necessarily show it, you can open the Pons token’s official website. If it says “holder fee sharing,” that means it us

On the macro timeframe, the weekly and daily charts maintain a standard bullish alignment, with the medium- and long-term uptrend structure intact. The short-term upward pace has recently slowed and momentum has weakened, but this is not a sign of bullish momentum exhaustion; rather, the market is consolidating and accumulating during sideways fluctuations, building strength for the next move. The overall trend remains strong.
On the four-hour timeframe, the short-term trend has turned downward with a bearish candle, but as the price pulls back toward the indicator’s midline, buying support be

I lost $40k on $PORTAL because of this token. Yesterday, it rebounded to 0.0178 and I didn’t sell; today, it was dumped straight back to 0.0147, wiping out another 12 percentage points. But don’t rush to criticize—I pulled the data: the 24-hour trading volume is still 19.2M. This volume shows it isn’t completely dead yet, but if the 0.0141 low breaks, the downside will be deep water.
For the trade, I plan to do this: enter a 10% position around 0.0143, with a stop-loss at 0.0138; accept the loss if it breaks below. If it rebounds to 0.0155, I’ll reduce by half first, then see whether the rest

#ETHBreaks$2500 Ethereum has reclaimed the two thousand five hundred dollar level in a sharp multi day advance that has reset short term market psychology. From lows near one thousand nine hundred dollars earlier in the month the asset climbed roughly thirty percent over seven days, briefly printing highs above two thousand five hundred thirty dollars before consolidating in the mid two thousand four hundreds. The move marks one of the strongest weekly performances of the year and returns Ethereum to a psychologically important threshold that had acted as resistance for months.

Geopolitically, Trump said on August 25 that all mines in the Strait of Hormuz, which he called "international waters," had been cleared, and that there would be "zero tolerance" for Iran laying mines; Iran and Oman reached an understanding on shipping routes through the strait, allowing only merchant vessels to pass; U.S. Secretary of State Rubio said

Today’s review: the key takeaway from this $HYPE long trade is that the direction was right; all that remained was holding on.
I watched from a bullish perspective around 79.821. The bottom structure was clean, and repeated tests of the key level held. I only entered after confirmation. Current price: 80.928, return: +98.38%.
I took profit on 80% first and moved the stop-loss on the remaining 20% to the entry price—let it run for a while. We nailed the rhythm on this one, brothers. Profits are brought out, not calculated. #合约 #加密货币 #币圈 #TradingMoment
