PPI suddenly heats up—is a rate cut in doubt again?
U.S. PPI rose 5.4% year-on-year in August, above market expectations of 5.3%, while the previous reading was also revised from 4.7% to 4.8%; it rose 0.4% month-on-month, in line with expectations. More notably, core PPI rose to 4.6% year-on-year, signaling that inflationary pressure on the production side has clearly returned.
The biggest problem with this data is not the phrase “above expectations,” but that the story of easing inflation is beginning to show complications. Energy costs rose significantly, with diesel prices surging 24.1% mon

Rate Hike Expectations Heat Up
August PPI rose 5.4% year on year, exceeding market expectations of 5.3%, indicating a clear pickup in producer-side inflation. More interestingly, it rose only 0.4% month on month, in line with expectations. So what truly made the market nervous was the renewed acceleration in year-on-year growth, not the monthly figure itself.
After the data was released, U.S. Treasury yields continued to rise, and market bets on a Fed rate hike heated up noticeably. Reports showed that the probability of a rate hike at the September meeting briefly rose to around 70%. (Reuters

I’m watching $AAVE for a short here.
AAVE recovered from $120.31, but the bounce is losing momentum around $123 and price is struggling to push through the recent lower-high area. I’m looking for sellers to step back in here.
Entry: $122.90–$123.30
Targets:
TP1: $122.40
TP2: $121.60
TP3: $120.50
Stop: $123.85
For me, $123.85 is the key level. As long as AAVE stays below it, I’m looking for continuation lower. A clean reclaim above $123.85 would invalidate the short idea.

🚨 U.S. August PPI rose 5.4% year over year; keep a close eye on CPI next
The U.S. August PPI released on September 10 rose 0.4% month over month and 5.4% year over year. Among them, energy prices rose 4.2% month over month, making them the main driver of price increases on the goods side. Source: BLS
My view: Cost pressures are still present. For U.S. tech stocks and BTC to open up room for gains on expectations of looser policy, more evidence is needed.
The next key event is the U.S. CPI at 20:30 on September 11 (Beijing time). I’ll first look at the core components, then at U.S. Treasury yi

Dan Held says some of $BTC 's earliest whales encouraged him to buy $ZEC while it was trading between $100 and $400, months before its rally past $1,000.
He ultimately remained unconvinced by the privacy coin's story, despite Zcash crossing that milestone last week for the first time in nearly a decade.
It's a pretty striking example of how quickly sentiment can shift in crypto - but Held still isn't sold on the long-term case for Zcash.

What Will Gate’s Next Move Be After Entering the CEX Top 4?
The changing exchange rankings are becoming increasingly interesting.
Gate has entered the mainstream CEX Top 4, while its global user base has surpassed 60 million, showing that market competition is entering a new phase.
In the past, people mainly evaluated CEXs based on spot trading volume and derivatives scale; now, it increasingly feels like they are comparing a complete “product ecosystem.”
Whoever can provide more trading scenarios will have a better chance of retaining users.

XRP is about to expose the weak hands hiding at 1.35

$XRP /USDT - LONG

Trade Plan:
Entry: 1.3493 – 1.3557
SL: 1.3120
TP1: 1.3829
TP2: 1.4031
TP3: 1.4335

Why this setup?
Why now? The 1h price is pinned at 1.3525 inside a tight range, and the 15m RSI has cratered to 26.19, signaling extreme oversold exhaustion that often precedes sharp reversals. The 1h ATR of 0.012975 shows volatility is compressed, meaning a single catalyst can explode the range violently. The entry zone sits between 1.3493 and 1.3557, giving precise risk control for a long positioned at 1.3525. The first target of 1.382

Is this really a rebound? This is CPR for my empty account, isn’t it?
I opened the charts this morning and saw $OPENAI buying pressure strengthening, with funds quietly entering. The pullback also held above the key level, so I said longs were worth considering—don’t wait until it takes off to chase. I got in around 1206.57, and my hand actually trembled for a moment.
Now 1488.64 is right in front of us, +461.03%. Feeling good, brothers. We caught the rhythm just right, and this time watching the market wasn’t for nothing. It was truly sluggish at first, but the result is truly satisfying.

Everyone is calling this a range, but the 1h data says otherwise.

$SOL /USDT - SHORT

Trade Plan:
Entry: 99.60 – 100.14
SL: 102.41
TP1: 97.96
TP2: 96.69
TP3: 94.78

Why this setup?
Why now? The 4h bias is SHORT with a confidence score of 55.4, and the 1h price is pinned at 99.87, which is the exact entry_ref for the trade. The 15m RSI reading of 39.62 shows momentum is weakening, while the 1h ATR of 1.06038 quantifies the volatility driving the move toward the entry zone between 99.60 and 100.14. The target TP1 sits at 97.96, with TP2 extending the short to 96.69, turning the daily range s

This move is so straightforward I don’t even need to think—the account is out there dancing on its own. I opened the chart this morning, and $SKHYNIX held firm after one pullback. Buying pressure was clearly getting stronger, and I knew at a glance that this move wasn’t over yet. The message at the time was: get in once it holds; don’t wait until it takes off and then kick yourself.

Don’t lose patience grinding through the range, only to try to regain your dignity in a one-way move.

No vision, can’t hold on. The profit on this move was paper-thin, but I loved every second of it.
A few days ago, I checked the charts before bed. $PUMP was struggling to rebound, with insufficient buying support and volume failing to follow. There was no one to catch it on the way up, and the resistance above was obvious. I said right then that it looked heavily like a bull trap. Keep a close eye on short positions—the rebound is an opportunity to get on board. Don’t let a few small green candles trick you into giving up your chips.
From 0.004390 to 0.003829, +906.74% in hand. That felt amazi

I only wanted to mooch a breakfast, but the market ended up keeping me in the dumpling pot for half a year.

When the sell-off started at the open, the whole screen was filled with panic, but I was watching that low-volume rebound. The weak bounce was one thing, but the selling pressure above was also firmly capping the price. Not shorting it would have been a disservice to this setup. I entered a short around 0.28292, set my stop-loss, and couldn’t be bothered to watch it.

I just came back to find that the current price had already fallen to 0.23609, with floating profit at +326.54%. The m
