《Time Traveler · Laying an Ambush for SHIB, Selling the Day Before the “High”》
I traveled back to January 2021 with only 10U in my account, but I clearly remembered that SHIB would rise to its historical high of $0.000038 in May 2021, a gain of several hundred thousand times.
I did not open a futures position, because altcoin futures have too little liquidity and slippage could eat up all the profits. I chose spot trading, using all 10U to buy SHIB at the time, when its price was about $0.000000001 (roughly 1 billion SHIB at the time).
Then I waited. Every day, I watched my accoun

#Japan5YearYieldHitsRecordHigh
Japan 5-Year Yield Reaches All-Time High as 10-Year Hits 1996 Levels
Japan’s 5-year government bond yield increased 2 basis points to 2.18%, an all-time high. On the day the 10-year yield increased 2.5 basis points to 2.945%, its highest level since September 1996. The change shows a mix of rising expectations for Bank of Japan rate hikes, pressure from the global bond sell-off and ongoing domestic inflation. All of these are causing a re-pricing of Japanese government bonds.
What the Dual Highs Mean

8.18 Bitcoin, Tuesday afternoon
The early-morning outlook remains unchanged: after surging overnight to test the 64,592 high, price came under pressure and retreated. Resistance overhead is clearly capping the market, and the bulls lack follow-through after the surge.
After surging, the market has continued to consolidate within a range, with signs of pressure at the highs emerging. Do not blindly chase the rally in the short term; focus on whether the overhead resistance can be effectively broken.
Trading strategy
Short on a rebound into the 64,600–65,200 range. If the pullback holds above 63

August 18 Gold Analysis
Gold’s intraday range was approximately 58 points, with net inflows exceeding $19 million, indicating positive capital flows. Three fundamental factors are converging—the significant cooling of expectations for Fed rate hikes, continued weakness in the U.S. Dollar Index, and rising geopolitical risks in the Middle East—providing bottom support for gold prices.
Technically, prices stabilized and rebounded near the lower Bollinger Band at $4,388. RSI6 was in the low range at 36.83, bearish momentum weakened, and the MACD green bars contracted, indicating a need for a reco
