August hasn't historically been kind to Bitcoin.
Looking back to 2013, $BTC has finished the month with negative returns in 9 different years, making it one of the more closely watched periods on the calendar.
History offers valuable context, but it doesn't guarantee what comes next.
Every cycle has its own narrative, and markets are known for surprising the majority.
Whether this August follows the trend or breaks it, the coming weeks are likely to be worth watching.

Many opportunities don’t appear suddenly; they gradually form when no one is paying attention. When the price keeps shaking back and forth during the session, I notice that every rebound lacks sustained follow-through, and the price is always held below key levels.
So around 0.15696, I choose to shift my thinking to the short side: first see whether the high-end key level can continue to break out, then adjust based on price feedback, rather than rushing in after seeing the decline.
After that, the price moved to 0.14094, and the +201.21% result shows that this timing call didn’t deviate. Alon

Last month I was almost entirely in cash, with no positions. I wasn’t waiting for anything in particular, either—I was also waiting for something: mainly adjusting my own state of mind, letting my thoughts stay clear. Only by constantly improving my cognition will there be a chance of making a profit. I need to keep evolving, to let go of the obsession with past trades. There’s no absolute right or wrong—only patience. The market keeps grinding on you, so empty yourself and clear your mind. Being in cash is a kind of wisdom.

Strategy's latest earnings report has sparked intense debate across both Wall Street and the crypto market after the company announced an $8.2 billion quarterly loss. While the headline number appears alarming, many investors believe the loss reflects Bitcoin's price volatility rather than a deterioration in the company's long-term vision.
Despite posting one of the largest losses in its history, Strategy has continued to expand its Bitcoin holdings, reinforci

Looking back at the market action from the just-finished week, the overall tempo was completely within my expectations and under my control. The trading views and market outlooks I gave everyone last week, the entry levels I planned in advance, and the real-time live-trading guidance—overall execution was excellent.
The whole week’s market could be said to be clearly divided between strength and weakness, with a well-defined structure. Only on two days, Wednesday and Thursday, did the market’s overall volatility become extremely low in volume, typical of a tight-range consolidation and washout

Stablecoins just saw their biggest supply drop since Terra.
Around $15B has left the market since May, but this doesn't tell the whole story.
While supply shrank, stablecoin usage kept growing, with onchain payments reaching record levels. Capital isn't disappearing, it's rotating into tokenized Treasuries and other RWAs as regulations reshape the market.
The next phase looks less about yield and more about real-world utility.

Someone paid me $10,203 to agree to buy their $TSM shares at $310... 2 years from now
Say that out loud. It sounds fake
They handed me $10,203, instantly, for a PROMISE
A promise to buy a company I already love, at a price I'd be thrilled to pay
If $TSM never drops there? I keep the $10,203 for nothing.
If it does? I buy a great company at a discount... & STILL keep the $10,203
& my base portfolio secured the whole trade, so no cash drag like CSP
This is the power of the portfolio secured put

$PUFF is consolidating after a vertical impulse, holding above key short-term support while momentum cools. Bulls remain in control, but price needs a clean breakout above the recent range to trigger the next leg higher.
Resistance: 0.0400–0.0450
Support: 0.0300–0.0320
A breakout above resistance could accelerate momentum, while losing support would likely lead to a deeper pullback.
• Entry Zone: 0.0320–0.0350
• TP1: 0.0400
• TP2: 0.0500
• TP3: 0.0600
• Stop-Loss: 0.0290
Patience wins here. Let the breakout confirm before sizing up.

“Er Bing” in this rebound made multiple attempts to probe the resistance pressure level, but each time ended in failure. The repeated pattern of pushing higher and then slipping back under pressure once again confirms that the sell pressure above is heavy. On the daily chart, the rebound has been completely wrapped within the range of the earlier large bearish candle, and the weak structure—where the highs keep moving lower—has not changed at all.
This rise is only a corrective rebound within a broader downtrend, with no accompanying surge of capital support. The bulls’ ability to sustain the

What I really noticed was the detail where things started to change. The price repeatedly tested upward, but it never followed through. The rebound looked strong, yet in reality it became increasingly weak.

So I placed a short order around 0.25266. After that, the trading pace kept deteriorating. The current price is 0.04861, with a return of +800.99%. This isn’t something that comes from luck or chance—it’s from waiting for a key level to be validated again and again.

In trading, directional judgment is just the beginning; execution and positioning rhythm are equally important. Profit nee

Imagine telling someone in 2015 that #Bitcoin would one day touch $1,26,000.
They would’ve laughed.
Now imagine where the Next decade will take us.

$$PTB Just three minutes ago it broke through 0.0009, and the 30% surge is still accelerating. Every second you hesitate staring at the screen is someone else picking up the chips. This isn’t a drill—this is a market move hammered out with $13.5 million in 24h trading volume, not for you to sit and watch.
I know what you’re thinking—“Is chasing higher prices now just taking the bags?” I bought around 0.00075 this morning, and I’m currently up 20%. Honestly, this move is too similar to last week’s PEPE launch: first low-volume sideways for two days, then suddenly a volume breakout and a sharp
