Something I've been watching closely on $BTC .
Before the massive bull runs of 2020 and 2022/23, we saw a clear pickup in volume during the accumulation phases.
This time, that's the one thing bothering me.
Price chart actually doesn't look that bad. Immediate resistance isn't too far above, and I still believe $55K is the absolute bottom, as I've said multiple times.
But volume is extremely low. We're not seeing the kind of accumulation that preceded the previous major moves.
One thing that gives me a LOT of confidence, though:
The Michael Saylor FUD.
For years, one of the biggest FUD narrativ

Metaplanet Just Transferred $265 Million Worth of Bitcoin
A large Bitcoin transfer by Metaplanet has once again drawn attention to the company’s treasury strategy. According to The Data Nerd, Metaplanet transferred 4,176 BTC worth approximately $265 million within just seven hours on August 12, 2026.
For a company whose core strategy is aggressively increasing its Bitcoin holdings, such a large-scale transfer would naturally attract attention. But the transaction itself does not mean that Metaplanet has sold its Bitcoin.
The Transfer Size Matters
The transfer means that more than 4,000 BTC mov

Let's talk about tonight's CPI. Honestly, the market right now feels exactly like that stifling, airless afternoon before a storm. Bitcoin is grinding around 63,500, gold is clinging above $4,350, and the dollar index has climbed for three straight days toward the 100 mark—everyone is waiting, but no one knows where the lightning will strike.

First, let's talk about what numbers are coming out tonight.
The market consensus is for headline CPI to fall from 3.5% to 3.4% year over year, while core CPI is expected to drop from 2.6% to 2.5% year over year and rise 0.2% month over month. If the

Latest Elliott Wave Analysis for August 12, 2026: The Approach Has Changed
BTC daily Elliott Wave analysis: The market is currently in a typical phase in which the structure is still being assessed. The previous decline from the high can be viewed as an A-wave decline that helped unwind risk, while the subsequent rebound can currently only be classified as a B-wave recovery. The focus now is on two possible directions: If the price continues higher and breaks through key resistance, the B-wave rebound may extend, and the market could strengthen again. However, if the rebound encounters resista

8.12 Gold Evening Review: Major CPI Data Takes Center Stage; Bulls Warm Up Early—Buy the Dip and Await a Data-Driven Breakout
Tonight’s main focus is the year-over-year rate of the unadjusted U.S. CPI for July. Inflation data will directly influence the Federal Reserve’s pace of rate cuts: if CPI comes in below expectations, rate-cut expectations will strengthen, benefiting gold as it challenges the previous high. If inflation exceeds expectations, rate-cut expectations will cool, and gold could surge before pulling back in a correction.

#我的七夕交易分享 ETF Buying Streak Reaches 8 Days, Yet Bitcoin Surges and Plunges 2%! What Is the Market Hiding?
On August 12, Bitcoin staged a “textbook” bull trap. It surged during the morning session, then quickly turned lower, with the biggest intraday decline reaching 2%. But strangely, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw another net inflow of $178 million yesterday (August 11, U.S. Eastern Time).
Institutions are buying while the price is falling. This is not a divergence—it means someone is quietly accumulating while others are panic-selling. And the real main event has nothing to do with that 2% fluct
