SOL at $102—are you going to miss out?
Look at the surface first: it has risen too much, a normal pullback, and retail investors are panicking.
From $70-$75 in August, it climbed all the way to $110, up 40%+, marking the first strong monthly candle in nearly 10 months. It has now pulled back to $101, down less than 10%. After breaking above $96, it pulled back to confirm the breakout—this is textbook healthy consolidation. The structure is intact, so don’t scare yourself.
First: the inflation halving has passed, and supply is set to contract.
The SGP-0002 proposal passed with 67% support, raising the annual inflation decay from 15% to 30% and reducing new issuance by 18.9 million SOL over the next six years. Staking yields will gradually decline, while the long-term floor remains 1.5%.
SOL’s “money-printing speed” has been cut drastically, and fewer and fewer new coins will be issued going forward.
Second: ETFs are attracting capital aggressively, and institutions are accelerating their entry.
Bitwise BSOL’s assets surpassed $1 billion, with $154 million in net inflows last week, its strongest single week since launch. Charles Schwab is also planning to include SOL in its crypto trading products—one of the brokerages with the largest retail user bases in the US.
The door for institutions has been fully opened, from “can it be bought?” to “buy it freely.”
Cumulative net inflows into spot ETFs have already reached $1.2-$1.3 billion. Think about it: a coin with a market cap of only tens of billions has attracted more than $1 billion through ETFs alone. And this is just the beginning.
Third: the September 9 upgrade is coming, and Transaction V1 is on the way.
The per-transaction limit will rise from 1,232 bytes to 4,096 bytes, more than tripling. The Alpenglow consensus upgrade is still to come.
What does this mean? More complex applications can run on Solana, pushing throughput to another level.
After four years, OpenSea has relaunched Solana NFTs. Tokenized RWA stocks account for an extremely high share of trading volume, and daily active users on-chain exceed 2 million. Solana has evolved from a “meme chain” into “financial infrastructure.”
You decide in the bull-bear battle
On one side:
The inflation halving has passed, and supply contraction is being implemented
ETFs attracted $154 million in a single week, with institutions continuing to buy
The September 9 upgrade is imminent, with Transaction V1 benefiting throughput
August’s strong monthly candle rose 40%+, and the breakout above $96 confirmed a trend reversal
Exchange balances are declining, while whale addresses are increasing
On the other side:
The pullback from $110 to $101 means short-term profit-taking needs to be absorbed
The macro environment remains tight, with the probability of a rate hike at the September 16 FOMC meeting at 30%-60%
Nonfarm payrolls and CPI data are packed together, so volatility will increase
$110 has failed three times, creating significant psychological pressure
Resistance above: 105 → 108-110 (dense previous-high zone) → 112-116 → 125
Support below: 100 (psychological level) → 96 (breakout confirmation level) → 94-95 (strong support)
Trading strategy
Short-term traders:
Lightly test long positions at 100-102, with a stop-loss below 96. Take some profit at 108-110 first, then watch 112-116.
Swing traders:
94-96 is a better mid-term accumulation zone. Build positions in batches if it reaches that range. Stop-loss at 90, with a target of 120-125. Volatility will likely expand around the September 9 upgrade. Don’t chase the rally; wait for a pullback.
Long-term believers:
Blindly dollar-cost average below 100. Solana fell from 294 to 70 and then climbed back to 101; the bottom has already been solidified. The target for 2027 is 150-200+, betting on continued ETF inflows, an RWA boom, and the rate-cut cycle.
Ironclad risk-management rules:
Keep leverage below 5-8x; you can’t withstand 10x leverage in this volatility
Limit the risk on each trade to 1-2% of your capital
Reduce positions or lock in profits three days before nonfarm payrolls, CPI, and the FOMC
If 96 breaks on heavy volume, get out first and ask questions later
SOL now looks just like ETH at the end of 2023—
99% of people think “it has risen too much and needs a pullback,” but it went from 70 to 110, and now after pulling back to 101, the next stop is 150.
The day 110 breaks, you’ll realize:
It wasn’t that Solana was no good—it’s that you sold at the lows and chased rallies at the highs every time.

ARB at $0.108—are you adding to your position?
First, the surface view: from $2.4 to $0.07, down 97%, with retail investors crying, “ARB is garbage.”
It was still barely holding on around $0.07 in mid-August. Then, from August 31 to September 1, one massive-volume bullish candle sent it straight to $0.12, breaking above the 200-day moving average. 24-hour trading volume surged, and FOMO was off the charts. But short-term RSI has already shot into the 70–80 overbought zone, while the upper wick tells you that everything above $0.12 is a zone full of trapped holders. The bullish catalyst is real, but chasing the rally could be deadly.
First: Robinhood Chain has transformed ARB from an “air coin” into a “rent-collecting stock.”
ARB used to be criticized for having only governance voting rights, with no value capture whatsoever. Now Robinhood—a licensed brokerage with tens of millions of users—has chosen to build its own dedicated chain based on Arbitrum Orbit. Less than a week after launch, protocol fees surged from tens of thousands of dollars in late August to $1–2 million, nearly 20 times higher.
More importantly, look at the rules: 10% of the dedicated chain’s net revenue flows back into the Arbitrum ecosystem—8% goes to the DAO treasury and 2% to the Developers Guild.
Second: The ArbOS Elara upgrade + ZK proofs are adding fuel on the technical side as well.
The Elara upgrade has just gone live, bringing compliance filtering, priority fee support, and a fourfold increase in Stylus contract capacity. Progress on ZK proofs is accelerating and could shorten settlement times from 7 days to several hours.
Stablecoin inflows, tokenized stocks, RWA, and trading volumes on perp DEXs such as Variational are all heating up. Arbitrum is transforming from an “altcoin L2” into “Wall Street’s L2.” Robinhood is just the first domino.
Third: A signal has emerged on the technical chart that demands attention.
The daily chart broke above the 200-day moving average ($0.101–$0.103) on heavy volume, while also breaking out of the previous descending channel. This is one of the few structurally strong signals seen since 2024.
A textbook double-bottom structure formed around $0.07. The second test of the lows in mid-August held above the previous low, immediately triggering a rebound. From $2.4 to $0.07, the token fell 97%; historically, declines of this magnitude often lay the groundwork for the largest rebounds.
Bulls vs. bears—you decide
On one side:
Robinhood Chain gives ARB real value capture, with annualized revenue of tens of millions of dollars
A regulated brokerage entering the arena itself, providing institutional-level endorsement
A violent rebound of 50%+ from $0.07, breaking above the 200-day moving average and descending channel
Ecosystem data: $1.4 billion TVL, $3.5 billion in stablecoins, $830 million in RWA, and daily perp trading volume above $1 billion
On the other side:
92.63 million ARB tokens unlocked on September 16 (approximately $8–9 million)
Short-term RSI is overbought, with heavy selling pressure above $0.12
The FOMC on September 15–16 could raise interest rates, while a hawkish macro environment weighs on altcoins
Some on-chain data shows net inflows to exchanges on September 1, indicating that profit-taking is underway
Resistance above: $0.115–$0.120 → $0.13 → $0.15+
Support below: $0.100–$0.105 → $0.095 → $0.085–$0.09 (the previous consolidation range)
Trading strategy
For short-term traders:
Wait for a pullback to $0.100–$0.105 and confirmation of support before going long with low leverage. Set a stop-loss at $0.095 and exit if it breaks down. Take profits in batches around $0.115–$0.12; if it breaks above and holds $0.12, $0.13 comes into view.
For swing traders:
Build a position in batches within the $0.095–$0.105 range (20–30% position size), with a stop-loss at $0.09 and an initial target of $0.13–$0.15. If Robinhood Chain fees remain elevated and the macro environment turns dovish, there could be more upside.
The September 15–16 FOMC meeting is the biggest variable—if a rate hike is delivered, altcoins could broadly pull back
The unlock is a known negative catalyst, but no one knows whether the market will price it in ahead of time
ARB’s story has changed—
From “the leading L2, but the token is useless” to “the ecosystem landlord of Wall Street’s L2—a rent-collecting asset.”
The day $0.12 establishes itself as support, you’ll realize:
It wasn’t that ARB was incapable—it was that you always panic-sold at the bottom and FOMO-chased at the top.
What is your cost basis for ARB?

Gold at $4,380—are you buying the dip?
First, the surface picture: hawkish signals are terrifying, and the dollar is roaring.
Over the past week, gold fell from $4,700 to $4,380, down nearly 7%. Today, it plunged directly from $4,452, bottoming at $4,364, and is currently hanging on around $4,385.
But the 100-day moving average is $4,366, and today's low was $4,364—just $2 below it. It held.
The medium- and long-term uptrend channel remains intact, with the 50-day and 100-day moving averages at $4,218 and $4,366 providing support below. A pullback is an opportunity to get on board—don't let it scare you senseless.
First: Are rate-hike expectations really that frightening? The market is overreacting.
What did Fed Chair Kevin Warsh say at Jackson Hole? PCE inflation is at 3.7%, and 4.1% over six months, still accelerating. “If we do not have sufficient confidence that inflation will return to 2%, there is more work to do.”
Just those few remarks sent the market's September rate-hike probability directly from 30% to 60%, the dollar index surged, and gold took a heavy punch.
The Fed cut rates three times in 2025, and the federal funds rate is now 3.5%-3.75%. With economic growth just above 2% and unemployment at 4.3%, rate hikes in this environment? Does the Fed really want to wreck the economy?
The market overinterpreted the hawkish remarks, and gold fell 7%
Second: You were scared senseless by short-term noise, while central banks quietly kept buying.
Goldman Sachs maintained its year-end gold target of 4900 and expects central banks to purchase an average of 50 tons of gold per month in 2026, far above pre-2022 levels.
ETFs and retail investors are selling, while central banks are buying. The dedollarization narrative has not changed. Middle East conflicts, risks around the Strait of Hormuz, and global geopolitical fractures—which of these has disappeared? Oil prices are rising, inflation expectations are heating up, and the dollar is strengthening in the short term—but these are all just noise.
Third: A signal has appeared on the technical front that must be taken seriously.
Gold's daily low today reached $4,364, while the 100-day moving average is $4,366—after touching it precisely, the price rebounded.
This is not a coincidence. The area around $4,380 was tested multiple times in July and August as support, and it has held again. The daily chart remains within the uptrend channel, and the medium-term structure is completely intact.
The 4-hour and 1-hour charts are somewhat bearish, but after plunging from $4,461 to $4,364—a drop of nearly $100—short-term oversold signals are beginning to form.
The bulls and bears face off—you decide
On one side:
The 100-day moving average at $4,366 held precisely, confirming technical support
Central banks are buying 50 tons per month, making the fundamentals extremely strong
Goldman Sachs maintained its year-end target of 4900; institutions have not fled
Gold fell 7% from $4,700 to $4,385, showing short-term oversold conditions
Dedollarization and Middle East geopolitics remain unchanged as long-term drivers
On the other side:
Fed hawkish remarks, with the rate-hike probability rising to 60%
The dollar index is strengthening and Treasury yields are rising
Today's 1.5% plunge shows weak short-term momentum
If JOLTS and nonfarm payrolls exceed expectations, another sell-off could follow
Resistance above: 4400-4430 → 4450-4460 → 4530 (200-day moving average) → 4600
Support below: 4360-4370 → 4320-4300 → 4218 (50-day moving average) → 4100
Trading strategy
Short-term traders:
If a clear bottoming signal appears at 4360-4370, cautiously go long with a small position, stop-loss at 4320, and a target of 4400-4430. If a rebound to 4410-4435 shows signs of stalling, cautiously go short with a small position, stop-loss above 4450, and a target of 4360.
Data traders:
JOLTS and ISM tonight are the biggest variables. Softer data → 4400 holds and the price rebounds; hotter data → a breakdown and accelerated decline may follow.
Medium-term positioning:
Build positions gradually on dips in the 4300-4250 range, based on continued central-bank gold purchases and dedollarization. Goldman Sachs' 4900 year-end target remains in place, but the path will be more winding.
This pullback in gold is merely a “stress test” for the bull market—
99% of people think “gold will collapse if rates rise,” but central banks are quietly buying, and Goldman Sachs has maintained its 4900 target.
On the day $4,364 holds, you will realize:
It wasn't that gold was weak—you just sell at the bottom every time.
What is your cost basis for gold?

Bitcoin is at a critical decision point.
$BTC was rejected from the weekly 50 WMA near $81K, making this level the key resistance to watch.
For bulls to regain control, Bitcoin needs to reclaim $81K and close a weekly candle above it.
Break and hold above it, and bullish momentum could return.
Another rejection could mean more sideways action before the next major move.
The next weekly close could be extremely important for the cycle.

ETH at $2,460—are you buying?
Look at the surface first: ETFs buy every day, but the price simply won’t rise.
Over the past half month, it violently rallied from below $2,200 to $2,566, gaining 33%, and then kept grinding back and forth within the $100 range of $2,440-$2,550. It is down 17% year to date, still 50% below its all-time high of $4,946. Institutions are buying aggressively while the price moves sideways. What do you call this? Accumulation.
First: ETFs have recorded net inflows for 11 consecutive days—the last time this happened was before the bull market.
U.S. spot ETH ETFs have recorded net inflows for 11 consecutive trading days, with the latest single-day inflow reaching $87.6 million. BlackRock’s ETHA has carried the flag almost single-handedly.
Cumulative net inflows have reached $13 billion, accounting for 5% of ETH’s market cap—and this figure is still rising.
Second: The Glamsterdam upgrade is coming soon, and institutions are positioning early just as they did last time.
It goes live on the mainnet on September 16—just two weeks away. The Gas Limit will rise from 60 million to 200 million, while ePBS will completely separate block proposers from builders. This is the biggest protocol overhaul since the Merge.
Before every major ETH upgrade, institutions aggressively accumulate.
The Glamsterdam upgrade, combined with the CLARITY Act, which faces a Senate vote in mid-September, creates a dual catalyst of regulatory certainty and technological upgrades.
Third: The macro environment is keeping a lid on the price, but the longer it holds it down, the higher the rebound.
The Federal Reserve’s interest rate is 3.5%-3.75%. The market is mainly pricing in a “hold” at the September 16 FOMC meeting, but the probability of a rate hike is not zero.
Key data is packed into this week: JOLTS on September 1, nonfarm payrolls on September 4, CPI on September 11, and the FOMC on September 16. As long as the data runs hot, the dollar and Treasury yields will rise, putting pressure on risk assets.
Bulls vs. bears—you decide
Bulls say:
ETFs have recorded net inflows for 11 consecutive days, and institutions continue to accumulate
The Glamsterdam upgrade goes live in two weeks, one of the biggest catalysts in history
The staking ratio is 32%-34%, with locked supply at historical highs
After rising from $2,200 to $2,566, the pullback has come with declining volume—it is not distribution but a shakeout
BlackRock and JPMorgan continue to advance the on-chain integration of RWAs; the narrative remains intact
Bears say:
The high-interest-rate environment of 3.5%-3.75% is a drag, and the September FOMC could be hawkish
$2,566 has been rejected three times, creating a short-term double-top risk
ETH is down 17% year to date, and the trend has not been fully reversed
Volume is shrinking, and the willingness to chase higher prices is insufficient
If CPI comes in above expectations, $2,400 may not hold
Upside: $2,485-$2,500 → $2,530-$2,566 → $2,800-$3,000
Downside: $2,440-$2,450 → $2,400 → $2,320-$2,360
Trading strategy
Range-bound trading:
Open a small long position around $2,460 (don’t go all in), set a stop-loss below $2,400, take half off at $2,495-$2,510, and reduce further at $2,535-$2,560. If the price surges and stalls around $2,530-$2,566, consider a short-term short, with a stop-loss above $2,580 and targets of $2,480 and $2,440.
Upside breakout:
If the daily close holds above $2,566 and the 4H chart does not break back below $2,530, go long, targeting $2,800, and add on a retest of $2,530-$2,550. Continued ETF inflows and a non-hawkish macro backdrop are required.
Downside breakdown:
If the daily close falls below $2,400, close long positions or flip short, targeting $2,320-$2,360 and $2,200-$2,300. A hotter-than-expected CPI or hawkish FOMC is most likely to trigger this move.
Reduce leverage another notch before and after the September 4 nonfarm payrolls report, September 11 CPI, and September 16 FOMC. This is not a place for “all-in conviction”; it is a battleground where “institutional buying provides support while the macro environment applies pressure.”
ETH is like a spring right now—
Institutions are desperately accumulating at the bottom, while the macro environment is desperately pressing from above. The tighter the pressure, the higher it will bounce.
The day $2,566 breaks through, you will realize:
It wasn’t that ETH was incapable—it’s that you die in the range every time.

BTC at $77,800—are you chasing it?
Look at the surface first: range-bound at highs, with both bulls and bears suffering.
It rose nearly 25% in August, reaching as high as 81,300 before hawkish remarks slammed it back to 76,900. Now stuck at 77,800, neither rising nor falling, with an intraday range of 77,780-79,200 and low-volume sideways trading. On the monthly chart, it fell from 126k to 58k, then rebounded to 81k—this is just a post-bear-market recovery, not confirmation of a new major uptrend. Only holding above 81k-82,500 would count as a genuine reversal.
First: one statement from Warsh completely changed the September rate decision outlook.
At Jackson Hole on August 28, Fed Chair Warsh made an explicitly hawkish statement, and the market shifted directly from “no change in September” to “a 57%-65% probability of a rate hike.” Boom.
PCE is 3.7% and core PCE is 3.3%, both far above the 2% target. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield is 4.73%, and the 30-year yield is 5.22%. High interest rates are weighing on risk assets, and BTC cannot escape the pressure.
Second: Strategy is back, but buying has begun to hesitate.
Last week, Strategy bought 4,603 BTC worth approximately $370 million, its first increase in holdings since late June, bringing its holdings to 845k BTC. The return of corporate treasury buying provides a floor for sentiment.
ETFs saw net inflows of $3.05 billion in August, their strongest month since October 2025. But on August 28, there were outflows of $202 million, breaking a nine-day inflow streak; on August 31, $217 million flowed back in, almost entirely through IBIT.
Institutional buying is still there, but it has shifted from “one-way flooding” to “two steps forward, one step back.”
Third: Technically, BTC has reached a point where a decision must be made.
The daily structure can be viewed on three levels:
Large-scale: It fell from 126k to 58k, then rebounded to 81k—just a trend recovery, not confirmation of a major uptrend. A weekly close holding above 81,000-82,500 would be required for a reversal.
Medium-term: In August, it broke above the 76k-78k resistance zone on rising volume, forming a flagpole. The current 77,700-79,200 range is flag consolidation, with a bullish structure, but the flag has already failed once near its upper boundary—this can only be treated as conditionally bullish, not as a confirmed breakout.
Short-term: The current price of 77,800 is in the lower-middle part of the range. Both longs and shorts are possible, but the risk-reward is average.
The bull-bear battle—judge for yourself
On one side:
Strategy has resumed buying, with corporate treasuries providing support
ETF net inflows totaled $3.05 billion in August, and institutions remain involved
Treasury buybacks = implicit easing, supporting the dollar-dilution narrative
The 76,000-76,500 breakout zone is holding, so the medium-term structure remains intact
On the other side:
A 57%-65% probability of a September rate hike, with high rates applying pressure
After a 24% August rebound, profit-taking is releasing $500 million/day
81,000 has failed three times, creating enormous psychological pressure
September seasonality is weak, and the rate decision will amplify volatility
Overhead resistance: 79,200-80k → 81,300-82,500 (reversal confirmation zone) → 85k → 88,000-90,000
Downside support: 77,200-76,900 → 76,000-76,500 (lower edge of the breakout zone) → 72,200 → 68,500
Trading strategy
Range-bound trading:
Range: 76,900-80,000, with an extreme range of 76,000-81,300.
Longs: Scale in on a pullback to 77,200-77,600, with a stop below 75,800. First target: 79,200-80,000. Second target: 81,000-81,300. Reduce the position by half at 80,000.
Shorts: Enter only if a rebound to 79,800-81,300 produces a long upper wick or volume-price divergence. Stop at 82,200, with targets at 78,000/76,900.
Upside breakout:
Valid breakout criteria: Hold above 80,000 for four consecutive hours + daily close above 81,300 + ETF net inflows for two consecutive days. Once met, chase the trend long, add on a pullback to 80,000-80,500, and target 85,000, then 88,000-90,000. Place the stop at 79,200.
Downside breakdown:
A daily close below 76,000 would invalidate the August breakout zone. Close longs immediately; a rebound to 76,500-77,200 can be shorted, targeting 72,200, then 68,500. Medium-term bulls should wait until 65,500-68,500 before reassessing.
September 16 FOMC: If a rate hike is delivered, expect a short-term sell-off first, then buying; if rates remain unchanged, BTC could shoot directly to 81,000-85,000
BTC now looks like the consolidation period before the 2024 ETF approval—
99% of people think “the rebound is over and a crash is coming,” but every pullback turns into a golden dip for institutional accumulation.
On the day 81,000 breaks out, you will realize:
It was not that BTC was weak—it was that you were shaken out during every consolidation.

It rose 20-35% over the past 7 days and 27-38% over 30 days. From the June low of 2.3, it surged all the way to 5.6, more than doubling. 100 million tokens were burned, the fee switch was activated, Uniswap became the primary AMM on Robinhood Chain, and daily trading volume reached 130 million.
But markets always end amid euphoria. Daily RSI has already climbed to 77, flashing a bright-red overbought warning.
First: UNI has transformed from an “air coin” into a “money-printing machine.”
After UNIfication passed in December 2025, the fee switch was officially activated. Protocol fees are used to buy and burn tokens. On August 21, 150k tokens were burned in a single day, setting a record.
Previously, the money Uniswap earned belonged to the team and had nothing to do with UNI holders.
Now, the money earned is used to buy and burn UNI.
The larger the trading volume, the more tokens are burned, and the smaller the supply becomes.
UNI is no longer just a governance token; it is a “dividend-burning stock.”
Second: But 5.7 has already priced in too much good news.
A large bullish candle drove a high-volume rally on August 30, followed by low-volume consolidation. The price is above all moving averages, and the 50-day MA has crossed above the 200-day MA, forming a medium-term bullish alignment—all of these are positive signs.
But daily RSI is at 67-77, already overbought. Bollinger Bands are hugging the upper band, the MACD histogram has flattened, and upward momentum is slowing. When all the good news is priced in, it becomes bad news; when FOMO reaches an extreme, a pullback follows.
Look at ZEC and ALLO before—didn’t each one rally on bullish news before undergoing a brutal shakeout? UNI will be no exception.
Third: September’s macro data week is the biggest variable.
Nonfarm payrolls on September 4, PPI on September 10, and CPI on September 11. The Federal Reserve’s interest rate is 3.5-3.75%, and the next FOMC meeting is on September 15-16.
The Crypto Fear & Greed Index is at 69, already in “greed” territory. BTC is ranging between 77k-81k. If macro data comes in hawkish and the dollar strengthens, high-level altcoins will be hit first.
If BTC loses 77k, UNI will most likely follow it lower—watch 5.00 first, then 4.80.
Bulls and bears face off; you decide
On one side:
The burn mechanism is fully implemented, with annualized burns reaching tens of millions of tokens
Robinhood Chain’s daily trading volume is 130 million, generating real revenue for burns
Fees for some v4 pools have been enabled, and v4 hooks are expanding application scenarios
The medium-term bullish alignment is forming, and the technical picture is strengthening
On the other side:
Daily RSI at 67-77, severely overbought
Funding rates have turned positive and are elevated, with long positions crowded
5.6 has already priced in a large portion of expectations
September’s macro data week brings extremely high volatility risk
Historically, chasing longs at elevated levels amid FOMO has had an extremely low win rate
Resistance above: 5.50-5.60 → 5.84-6.00 → 6.40
Support below: 5.15-5.20 → 4.95-5.06 → 4.44-4.50
Trading strategy
For short-term traders:
Wait for a pullback to 5.15-5.25 to scale into longs, or go deeper at 4.95-5.05. Stop-loss if the daily candle closes below 4.78. Take half off at 5.80-5.90 first, then watch 6.20-6.40.
For breakout traders:
Wait for high-volume 4h/daily closes to hold above 5.85, then add if the pullback holds above 5.50. Exit immediately if a false breakout falls back below 5.40.
For bears:
Only when there is a clear long upper wick on the daily chart, RSI is flattening, and funding rates are extremely high, lightly short 5.70-5.85. Stop-loss at 5.95-6.05, target 5.20. The win rate is lower than that of buying pullbacks, so keep the position small.
Risk-control rules:
No more than 1-1.5% of total capital per trade
Reduce leverage and position size before nonfarm payrolls
If BTC loses 77k, run first and ask questions later
This UNI rally is driven by fundamentals, not pure emotional pumping—
There are burns, revenue, and real trading volume; it is fundamentally different from those hollow narratives.
But even the strongest fundamentals cannot justify chasing highs in an overbought zone.
You don’t dare buy when it rises, and you don’t dare catch it when it falls—you are always doing the wrong thing at the wrong time.

Is this what execution looks like? I heard matrix ads are going for 5 to 10u each now. A single matrix placement costs at least 25u, which is way better than having a regular job. And buying followers is only 8 yuan per 1,000 now, so the price is relatively stable too.
