8.25 Bitcoin, Tuesday evening outlook

Bitcoin surged to touch a high of 81259 before beginning a pullback and consolidation. A short-term correction has emerged, but the broader bullish structure has not been broken. This round of decline is simply profit-taking after the surge, a normal pullback and accumulation of momentum during an uptrend, rather than a signal of a trend reversal.

Upward momentum remains in the market. After the brief pullback absorbs the selling pressure, the market still has the potential to surge higher again. Do not turn bearish just because of this pullback, and d

#CandyDrop1BTCForOldUsers
A New Opportunity for Early Supporters: 1 BTC Candy Drop
The crypto community has always valued users who stay through different market cycles, and the idea behind #CandyDrop1BTCForOldUsers highlights an important message: early users and long-term supporters matter.
For many people, crypto is not simply about short-term price movements. It is about participating in an evolving financial ecosystem, learning new technologies, exploring Web3, and staying active through both bullish and bearish markets. Long-term users have witnessed countless changes in exchanges, trad

What is worth watching today is not BTC touching $80k again.
It is traditional finance quietly “changing tracks.”
India is preparing to issue its first tokenized corporate bond, putting CBDC + Tokenized Bond into the same settlement system; meanwhile, BTC + ETH ETFs saw combined net inflows of approximately $2.6 billion last week, as institutional funds are re-entering Crypto.
More importantly, the competition in RWA has changed.
The first phase was: turning assets into Tokens.
The second phase is: actually bringing Tokens into collateral, lending, margin, and settlement.
This means that what

$ETH ‌
$ETH has crossed the $2,500 psychological barrier, and this move deserves attention. Ethereum is no longer simply following Bitcoin’s rally; it is showing stronger relative momentum, with a weekly advance of roughly 32%.
The breakout becomes more convincing because price is trading above the key short- and medium-term moving averages. ETH has reclaimed the $2,490–$2,500 area, while deeper trend support remains much lower around $2,375 and $2,280. That tells me the broader structure is still firmly bullish.
But I would not chase the move blindly.
ETH has rallied aggressively, and moment

$SNDK — A 9% DROP DOESN’T AUTOMATICALLY MAKE THE STOCK CHEAP
$SNDK ‌
SanDisk just reminded the market of one important rule: when expectations become extreme, even a strong company can experience violent repricing. The latest ~9% selloff looks painful, but the bigger question is whether this is a temporary reset or the beginning of a deeper trend reversal.
My view: I would NOT blindly buy the dip here.
The bullish case is still very much alive. SanDisk delivered an exceptional FY2026, with Q4 revenue reaching $8.97B, up 51% sequentially, while full-year revenue jumped 175% YoY to $20.25B. Eve

LINK 4-hour timeframe, bearish signal armed.

$LINK /USDT - SHORT

Trading plan:
Entry: 11.511 – 11.585
SL: 11.899
TP1: 11.285
TP2: 11.109
TP3: 10.846

Why pay attention to this structure?
- Clear direction: SHORT, with an entry reference at 11.548 and the current price around 11.553.
- Why now? The daily chart is range-bound, a bearish trap has appeared on the 4-hour chart, and RSI(15m) at 42.95 is already weak.
- Key levels: TP1 11.285, TP2 11.109, SL 11.899. If it falls below the invalidation level of 11.070, the bearish thesis is invalidated.
- Risk reminder: ATR(1h) is 0.146, so volati

$SNDK — DIP OR WARNING? THE NEXT MOVE NEEDS CONFIRMATION
$SNDK ‌
A sharp selloff in $SNDK has changed the short-term setup, but it has not automatically destroyed the long-term story.
The recent weakness is partly connected to broader memory-sector pressure and concerns that Apple could source more memory from Chinese suppliers, adding another layer of uncertainty for major U.S. memory companies.
Still, I would not call this a fundamental breakdown yet.
SanDisk remains exposed to one of the strongest structural themes in technology: AI-driven demand for storage. The problem is valuation and e

A few days ago, my hand trembled as I set the stop-loss; this morning, I realized that filial piety had been unnecessary. The last time I checked the chart before bed a few days ago, $TAO pulled back to 197.7 and held firm. Someone was clearly supporting the floor, so I went ahead and re-entered the long. Now it has pushed up to 235.8, and the +928.75% return says it all. Panic comes from having no plan; losses come from overthinking. Position management is simple: take 80% off the table first, move the stop-loss on the remaining 20% to breakeven, and let the profits run if it keeps surging. H
