By late July, the Bank of Japan strongly intervened in the FX market, and the yen surged more than 5% in three days. This is a negative factor for market liquidity; short-term longs should participate as little as possible, and the strategy should focus on selling at higher levels. For going long, wait to buy the dip at the daily chart support level.

#BitcoinSmallTransfersHitPostFTXHigh 🚀
Bitcoin continues to demonstrate the strength of its global network as small-value BTC transfers have reached their highest level since the post-FTX recovery period. This increase suggests growing participation from retail users, everyday investors, and on-chain activity, reinforcing Bitcoin's role as the world's leading decentralized digital asset.
A surge in smaller transactions often reflects broader adoption, increased wallet activity, and renewed confidence among market participants. While institutional investors remain a key force in the crypto ec

BTC Futures Technical Analysis Strategy (August 3, 2026)
Current market tone: Technical rebound under bearish pressure
As of today, BTC fell after facing resistance at the prior high of 65,722, with a low at 62,228. It is now in a post-downtrend consolidation and repair phase, while rebound momentum is gradually weakening. On the daily timeframe, the 50-day and 200-day moving averages have already confirmed a “death cross,” and the broader technical structure still leans bearish.
However, there may be structural repair opportunities in the short term. On the hourly timeframe, BTC quickly ralli

U.S. Treasury debt has already exceeded 40 trillion, hitting a historical high. Under these circumstances, it is absolutely impossible to raise interest rates. If rates were hiked, the debt’s interest expense pressure would be enormous. With inflation currently at 3%, and the impact of around 2-point-something percent on people not becoming immediately obvious, the top priority is definitely to address the most important issues.
On top of that, with U.S. stocks in such a precarious situation, the next FOMC must at least not cut rates, and it also needs to send a dovish signal to provide guid

U.S.-Iran talks send easing signals, and falling oil prices improve global risk appetite
After news of U.S.-Iran negotiations emerged, international oil prices dropped significantly, with markets broadly believing that geopolitical risks have eased temporarily. Previously, tensions in the Middle East had remained high, and investors had been worried that energy supplies could be affected, leading international oil prices to rise rapidly. As both sides returned to the negotiating table, the market began to reassess expectations for future crude oil supply, and risk-hedging sentiment clearly coo

You've learned how to read candlesticks.
You know what the body means.
You understand wicks, momentum, rejection, and confirmation.
But here's an important truth...
One candle will never tell you where the market is going.
Professional traders don't make decisions based on a single candle.
They study how multiple candles connect together to form the bigger picture.
That's called Market Structure.
🔹️ From Candles to Trends
Think of every candlestick as a single word.
One word doesn't tell a complete story.
But when many candles form together, they create trends, pullbacks, breakouts, and reve
