That is how a bear market works: the broader trend will continue reshuffling positions through next October. In the short term, there may be market opportunities in September and October.

The range has not yet been broken, and the bulls and bears remain locked in a fierce tug-of-war, so it is not advisabl

#Japan5YearYieldHitsRecordHigh
JAPAN'S BOND MARKET JUST SENT A SHOCKWAVE THROUGH GLOBAL FINANCE — AND MOST PEOPLE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT MEANS
Something historic is unfolding in Tokyo right now, and it is not getting the attention it deserves from retail investors.
Japan's 5-year government bond yield has just surged to a record high of 2.16 percent, peaking at 2.18 percent in August 2026 — the highest level in history since this instrument's data began tracking. But this is not an isolated event. The entire Japanese yield curve is on fire.
The 2-year JGB yield has climbed to 1.69 percent, its

🚨 Attention: Crypto hacks are accelerating in 2026.
Hackers have carried out 164 attacks and stolen approximately $1.2 billion year-to-date, with the number of incidents already surpassing every previous full-year total.

As adoption grows, security must evolve with it.

$XNO continues to print a strong bullish structure, with buyers clearly maintaining control. Momentum is building steadily, the trend remains healthy, and the payments narrative is starting to look increasingly attractive. $XLM could benefit alongside it if broader payments-sector enthusiasm returns.
