Weekly Macro Outlook: U.S.-Iran Conflict Tensions Resurface, Nonfarm Payrolls May Reverse Rate-Hike Expectations
August 31, overnight and this morning, the U.S.-Iran conflict resurfaced, with the United States launching a surprise attack on the Strait of Hormuz, followed by an immediate Iranian counterattack. Crypto and stock markets fell noticeably as a result. This week, the direction of the U.S.-Iran conflict will once again become an event that the market must closely monitor. However, some market analysts said that this conflict may be limited in duration, and that the United States will

I just hit refresh, and it shot up as if I had startled it. When I checked the market right after lunch, the market had not fully started moving yet. I saw $COOKIE retest and hold around 0.01112; volume was shrinking but the level held, a typical sign of bulls building up momentum. I didn’t hesitate—the level I flagged was right there.

Looking again now, it has climbed past 0.01203, up +200.82%—feels really good. I didn’t say much, but I didn’t miss a single level worth taking. How should the position be handled? No hesitation: lock in profits on 80% first, protect the remaining 20% at the e

US-Venezuela $100B Deal: Why Infrastructure Deficit Matters More Than Reserve Headlines for Energy Markets
The U.S.-Venezuela $100B+ oil deal promises access to 65B barrels and "majority control." But reserves in the ground ≠ barrels at market. The real edge lies in validating whether Venezuela’s degraded infrastructure can physically deliver on political promises. Here’s my validation framework. 👇

A few days ago, I was still calculating whether I had enough money for this month’s instant noodles; this morning, I’m already wondering whether to add sausage 😂

A few days ago, I checked the chart before bed. $SEI surged several times but fell just short each time, with a weak rebound and no follow-through in volume. With this kind of move, there was no one to buy into the rise. I figured it couldn’t hold for long, so I placed my short order before bed.

The short from 0.06851 is now at 0.04417, with +2528.13% secured. This profit feels great—it’s really not an exaggeration; the entry was

A few days ago, I nervously canceled the stop-loss. Looking at it today, it feels like I narrowly escaped. I opened the chart this morning and saw a long period of sideways trading at the bottom. The volume didn’t lie either, so I figured a rebound was coming and went straight long at an entry price of 0.04609. It’s now at 0.0623, +693.01%—this profit feels great.

But don’t be greedy for the last bite. I first closed the position at +693.1% to lock in the profits, then set a protective stop for the remaining 99%. Even if it gets shaken back down, I won’t feel bad.

The Kongdan approach at 4465 that I shared this morning played out as expected—the market plunged. Brother Ze’s call was bound to be right, and 4400 was also broken, leaving 65 points of room.

Last week, Unitree blew up my position; even just one lot could get blown up at the moment of the market open, then return to the entry price within two or three days. I guess I’ve also been taught a lesson by A-share retail investors.
Bitcoin also happened to stage the rebound I had been waiting for, with the move far exceeding expectations, and I’ve been too busy to post updates.
I still firmly maintain my bear-market view, remain bearish, and am short with a large position. I have no time to allocate new funds to gate to continue building my position.
If all goes smoothly, I’ll return with
