Analysis for August 18, 2026
Mainly high-level range-bound trading; a major one-sided move is temporarily unlikely. What impact will monetary policy have in the future? Overall macro rate-hike expectations are currently neutral. Without monetary easing, the market cannot receive much injected hot money, and there is no liquidity......

After being released from prison, a pyramid scheme leader opened a “Chinese Studies Academy,” transformed himself into a master of Chinese studies, and violently disciplined children…
In my stereotypical impression, parents who like enrolling themselves or their children in these kinds of Chinese studies courses
don’t seem very smart, as if their thought processes are somewhat different from those of normal people…

#我的七夕交易分享 Is the “supercycle” for storage here? SK hynix pours $38.4 billion into expansion—can you still get on board with A-share storage stocks?
Yesterday’s star performer in the A-share market was undoubtedly memory chips. ChangXin Technology rose 12%, with its total market cap returning above 4 trillion; Tongfu Microelectronics hit the daily limit, with 9.9 billion in turnover and net purchases exceeding 1.1 billion on the Dragon-Tiger List; and a host of stocks including Grinm Advanced Materials, Empyrean Technology, and WOLFSPEED Optoelectronics also hit the daily limit. The storage sec

Damn, Pinzhun Laser listed on the STAR Market today, opening above ¥1,000—up 5x straight out of the gate!
At this price, the profit from one winning IPO lot (500 shares) is as high as ¥456.6k, making it the new stock with the highest per-lot profit this year!
Damn it, if anyone says my A-shares market has no wealth effect again, I’ll be the first to object!

$BTC rose approximately 1.77% over the past 24 hours, while $ETH rose approximately 0.75%. The rebound structure remains intact, but both have pulled back from their intraday highs, so for now I’m only cautiously bullish and won’t say outright that there will definitely be a sharp rise tomorrow. Tomorrow I’ll focus on two confirmations: whether BTC can hold above 64,630–65,000; and whether $ETH can break above and hold 1,920. If both clear these levels, the rebound may have room to expand further; if they fail to break through after some time, they will most likely continue consolidating si

Since August, COMEX gold has risen 8.2%.
What about Laopu Gold? It rose just 2.7% over the same period, and fell another 5.2% over the past week.
Gold prices are back, but Laopu isn’t.
Do you know anyone like this—watching gold prices rebound, assuming gold stocks would surely rise too, rushing in to buy the dip on Laopu, and ending up losing 5% in a week?
Capital markets are using real money to tell you one thing: Laopu has never been a gold stock.

#SKHynixSurgesOver8%
SK Hynix is once again becoming one of the biggest names to watch in the global semiconductor market as its shares surge strongly, adding fresh momentum to the broader memory-chip and AI hardware story. The move comes at a time when investors are paying close attention to the rapidly growing demand for advanced memory used in artificial-intelligence data centers.
This rally is important because SK Hynix is not simply another semiconductor company. It sits at a critical point in the AI infrastructure supply chain, particularly through High Bandwidth Memory, or HBM. As AI a

Today’s ETH Morning Outlook
Operation:
Short near 1910–1920
First target: 1890–1860
Second target: 1830–1800
Use a stop-loss
ETH rallied and pulled back, with the MACD death cross continuing. Price is hugging the lower Bollinger Band, while RSI is nearing oversold, so room to chase shorts is limited. Wait for a rebound near the middle band and confirmation of resistance before trying a small short position. Don’t chase the decline; set the stop above the previous high and exit to the sidelines if it breaks out. If a clear stabilization signal appears near the lower band, cautiously trade a sma

8.18 Bitcoin $BTC Short Setup
Entry: Short around 64400–64900
Defense: 64980
First target: 64120
Second target: 63950
After surging to a high of 64600, the market came under pressure and turned lower. The rebound recovery was limited, while the bulls’ momentum for further gains continued to weaken. After the surge, the market entered a pattern of high-level pullback and consolidation.
64400–64900 is a previous double-top supply and resistance zone. When the price rebounds into this range, short-term profit-taking pressure from trapped positions above will create significant resistance. The ma
