More than two thousand years ago, Guan Zhong had already mastered the art of the “trade war.”
The Guanzi: The Weight of Light and Heavy records two classic economic wars:
In the first, Qi purchased silk products from Lu and Liang at high prices, luring the two states into abandoning agriculture and devoting themselves entirely to silk production. It then suddenly stopped buying, plunging them into economic hardship.
In the second, Qi minted large amounts of currency and bought firewood from Lai and Ju at high prices. After the two states had made a fortune, Qi suddenly shut down trade, leaving

TOM LEE’S ETHEREUM PRICE PREDICTIONS: $5,000 TO $250,000?

🔹 2025: $12,000–$15,000 → ❌ Failed
🔹 2026: $6,000 if BTC hits $150K → Pending

🔹 Extreme Long-Term: $250,000 → Speculative
LATEST TRENDING PREDICTION: Tom Lee expects Ethereum to surpass $5,000 by December 2026, calling recent weakness a potential “coiled spring” opportunity.
His thesis: institutional adopt

ARIAUSDT refusing to dump after the breakout. Price sitting right on the short-term MA while volume stays elevated. This looks like accumulation, not distribution.$ARIA ‌

#btc Everyone's started analyzing again—capital injections, an ironclad floor, sentiment, and all that
Everyone's looking for reasons everywhere, so when it drops again
will everyone start clasping their hands together and praying:
Please, please, please, please
The sleep-through-it strategy, just hold on and don't touch anything, set a stop-loss, and wait for the flowers to bloom
Staying here is the only chance of survival. Don't casually short housing prices in this residential community; if you must short, please short housing prices in another community
Please

Let me start with some jargon: liquidity sweep.
Put simply, it means pushing the price down with volume to sweep up the stop-loss orders sitting there, then pulling it back up.
That was the candle at 5 a.m. today: $HYPE .
One candle slammed it down to 77.096 / volume 266,000 contracts / usually it’s only 40,000 to 50,000.
After the sweep, it started climbing / from 77 all the way to 79.301 / over fifteen hours.
What about volume during the climb? / 40,000 to 70,000 / not a single convincing candle.
That’s what they call a low-volume grind up: the price is rising, but the buyers aren’t showing

Was a nice bull market guys
See you next year

Waiting for October to pass and see what happens after the midterms, because we should eventually have larger exit liquidity before December arrives, so a red or neutral close in October would be the best thing that could happen right now to set up a move higher in November into mid December, mostly because it would reset this numb sentiment which is still divided between bears and bulls without a clear victory call from either side.
Based on the calendar returns, both structurally and time wise, we are in a very similar environment to early to mid 2019 when the rally ended in June, yet this t

#美国9月PPI大超预期 #WCTCS9 Treasury yields fell and the dollar weakened. Why aren’t US stocks and Bitcoin rising?
I. Today’s Main Theme
A development worth watching is emerging in the market: Treasury yields and the dollar have both retreated, but tech stocks and crypto markets have not strengthened in tandem.
Over the past week, the market’s core focus has gradually shifted from “concerns that the Fed will continue raising rates” to “how long the AI investment boom can last in a high-interest-rate environment.”
Meanwhile, rising oil prices, a rebound in US inflation, and a widening fiscal deficit h

🇸🇻 El Salvador now holds 7,807 $BTC | Worth $637M.
While the world was debating whether a “sovereign Bitcoin reserve” was smart or not, Bukele silently stacked up.

🇸🇻 El Salvador Now Holds More Than 7,800 BTC
El Salvador continues to stand out for its Bitcoin strategy, with its reported holdings now exceeding 7,800 BTC.
This puts the country's Bitcoin reserves at a significant level, making its long-term approach to BTC worth watching.
Government Bitcoin holdings are more than just a number. They raise important questions about long-term strategy, market volatility, and the role of Bitcoin in a country's financial plans.
Will more countries consider holding Bitcoin as part of their national strategy, or will most continue to take a cautious approach?

Grayscale has now squeezed NEAR into the lineup of its newly launched funds.
In the blink of an eye, there are three funds: DeFi, decentralized AI, and data infrastructure. The list is sprawling, with NEAR slotted into the AI and infrastructure bucket. My first reaction wasn’t excitement; I wanted to laugh—is it really bullish on NEAR, or just piecing together a sector lineup and placating holders along the way?
It’s down a little over 2% today, and volume is only 40% of normal. The point I made this morning still stands: a low-volume drop doesn’t mean people are selling; it means there’s simp
