The current market is rebellious and plays dirty.
Sideways action wears you down, breakouts are deceptive, rebounds are weak, and declines are swift.
No matter how detailed the analysis or accurate the forecast, they cannot beat random sentiment and fund-driven sell-offs.
Accept the market’s madness, keep your hands off, and stay calm.

Another day, another crypto shitshow.

$ONE ‌ just crashed more than 50% in a single day.

The dump came after an exploit reportedly led to around 4B unauthorized tokens being created, with roughly 2.8B sold almost immediately.

Gold at $4,420—are you chasing it?

Look at the surface first: safe-haven demand and gold purchases are driving the rally, and the momentum is unstoppable.

Gold has rebounded more than 300 points from its early-August low of 4,040, touched around 4,424 today, and moved above its 50-day and 200-day EMAs, fully restoring its medium-term bullish structure. Tensions in the Middle East, combined with the People’s Bank of China’s purchase of 20 tons of gold in July, have sent buying sentiment soaring. The uptrend channel remains intact, RSI is neutral to strong, MACD is showing positive divergence, a breakout is imminent, and CPI could be the starting gun.

First: The People’s Bank of China is buying, and central banks worldwide are buying.

The People’s Bank of China added approximately 20 tons of gold in July, one of its larger monthly increases in recent years. Gold ETF inflows have continued, and a World Gold Council survey shows that most reserve managers expect to continue increasing their holdings over the next 12 months.

Global central banks no longer trust the dollar; gold is the only hard currency.

De-dollarization is not a slogan; it is real money buying real gold.

Second: The CPI data is the real star of tonight’s show.

The US July CPI data will be released today—this is the most important inflation report before the Fed’s September rate decision.

The forecast is for headline CPI to come in at 3.4% year over year and core CPI at 2.5% year over year. Weak nonfarm payrolls have already pushed the odds of a September rate hike to around 50%.

The script is clear:

CPI softer than expected → rate-hike pricing collapses, the dollar plunges → gold surges violently, with a target of 4,500+

CPI hotter than expected → hawkish repricing → gold comes under short-term pressure, pulling back to 4,320–4,300

Third: Technically, the market has reached a point where a decision must be made.

From 4,040 to 4,420, the rebound has exceeded 300 points, and the price has moved to the edge of the descending trendline’s resistance zone, approximately 4,430–4,450. Above the 50-day and 200-day EMAs, the medium-term bullish structure has recovered, but the price has faced resistance near the previous high of 4,435 three times.

CPI soft → breakout above 4,435 on heavy volume → target 4,500–4,550 → after confirmation, look toward 4,750–4,855

CPI hot → break below 4,360 → pullback to 4,320–4,300, the EMA congestion zone → still a buying opportunity after stabilization

The bulls and bears are facing off—you decide.

On one side:

Global central banks continue to make net purchases, supporting the long-term de-dollarization narrative

Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East; safe-haven demand is recovering

Price is above key moving averages, and the uptrend channel remains intact

Expectations of softer CPI are prevailing

On the other side:

Resistance at the previous-high zone of 4,435–4,450 has held three times

If CPI exceeds expectations, a sharp short-term correction could follow

Gold has already rebounded more than 300 points from its low and is overbought in the short term

Trading strategy

Aggressive bulls:

Initiate a small long position around the current price of 4,420 or on a pullback to 4,380–4,390. Set a stop-loss below 4,350, target 4,450–4,480, and look for 4,500–4,550 on a breakout.

Conservative strategy:

Soft CPI + holding 4,370 and breaking above 4,435 → chase longs, target 4,500+. Hot CPI + breaking below 4,360 → take a small short position for a quick trade, target 4,320–4,280. If a bullish signal, such as a hammer or engulfing pattern, appears on a pullback to 4,300–4,320 → go heavily long, with a stop-loss below 4,200.

Long-term believers:

Build positions blindly in batches below 4,300. The target for the end of 2026 is 4,800–5,000, based on de-dollarization, global central-bank gold purchases, and the rate-cut cycle.

Gold’s script right now—

It is exactly the same as in 2023: The market panics before every CPI release, surges violently after the data comes out, and then everyone kicks themselves: “Why didn’t I buy at 4,200?”

No matter what CPI does tonight, gold’s long-term logic boils down to one thing:

When central banks in every country are buying while you are selling, who is really right?

What is your cost basis for gold?

Tonight’s 20:30 CPI
Will it be like last Friday’s nonfarm payrolls data, where what should be bearish isn’t bearish and what should be bullish isn’t bullish, ultimately adding up to bullshit!
Tonight’s CPI expectations are currently mildly bullish YoY, meaning medium- to long-term stability remains under control, so the probability of rate hikes will not increase;
MoM expectations are all mildly bearish, likely due more to last month’s intensifying U.S.-Iran conflict and oil prices remaining above 80+ for a long time without falling;
If tonight’s data meets expectations or comes in close, any decline should be a short-term reversal signal, such as a wick or price-volume signal, offering an opportunity to go long. The overall downside is expected to be limited; a bullish divergence with the early-morning low would be an opportunity;

$LITE CEO Predicts 100,000x More Room for Growth in Shipment Volume:

1. Data centers are transitioning from the era of copper cables to the era of light

Data centers once relied entirely on copper cables, but they now need fiber optics, which are faster, can transmit over greater distances, and consume less power. This is not a trend; it is a law of physics.

2. Demand from major players is in the tens or hundreds of millions

In the past, optical companies were satisfied with selling around a thousand units per quarter. Now, $AMZN $MSFT $GOOGL $META can request millions or even tens of millions of units at a time.

The United States supplies very little to China’s data centers, while Chinese companies have substantial business in the United States. The U.S. government is currently drafting a ban on imports of Chinese optical modules, so there will be a major shortage in the future.

3. The ceiling for optical technology is higher than you think

The replacement of copper with optical fiber in data centers is still ongoing, and this replacement demand alone will be enough to sustain the industry for many years.

On top of that, space $SPCX types of applications also require lasers, and they will eventually be deployed in space.

4. The real bottleneck

Lasers use indium phosphide, and very few factories can produce this material. Optical companies almost always have to build the facilities themselves, making the process capital-intensive and technologically demanding. Capacity cannot simply be expanded at will; it takes several years for new facilities to begin production.

Globally, only $LITE $COHR $AVGO $MTSI $AAOI can consistently mass-produce high-power continuous-wave lasers. The barriers are very similar to those for HBM and may be even higher!

Light is the real second half. Do you believe in light?

What would happen to Bitcoin if miners stopped mining one day?

Don’t dismiss this as science fiction.

Just yesterday, Riot Platforms—one of the largest publicly listed Bitcoin mining companies in the United States—did something unexpected:

It signed a 20-year computing-capacity lease with AI company Anthropic worth $9.1 billion.

If both renewal options are exercised, the total value could reach $16.1 billion.

Following the news, Riot’s after-hours stock price surged 25%. Bernstein directly raised its price target from $30 to $35.

A mining company stopped mining, and its stock price soared instead.

Think about that.

Here are the contract details:

Riot is leasing 191 megawatts of power capacity at its Rockdale campus in Texas to Anthropic. What does 191 megawatts mean? It’s enough to power 143k households simultaneously.

The first 96 megawatts will be delivered next December, with the full capacity coming online by June 2028.

Riot’s total revenue in the second quarter was $174.2 million, up 14% year over year. Its data center business generated $23.2 million, while its engineering business generated $37.3 million—the latter growing by more than 200% year over year.

But the AI contract is worth $9.1 billion per year.

For comparison, how much revenue did Riot generate in all of last year?

One contract is worth dozens of years of mining revenue.

And Riot is not the first.

In July this year, another mining company, TeraWulf, signed a 20-year, $19 billion lease with Anthropic to provide 401 megawatts of capacity.

Core Scientific signed AI hosting contracts worth tens of billions of dollars with CoreWeave long ago.

The entire mining industry is collectively “switching sides.”

Why?

Because mining is no longer profitable.

After the Bitcoin halving, production costs at some mining companies reached as high as $78,000, while the spot price was between $63,000 and $65,000.

They lose more than $10,000 for every coin they mine.

Network hashrate fell from its peak of 1,160 EH/s to approximately 920 EH/s. Mining difficulty has declined by nearly 20% from its peak.

This is not a transformation. It is an escape for survival.

So what does this deal mean for crypto?

Three things, each of which could change the rules of the game.

First: Selling pressure from miners could ease.

In the past, miners had to sell coins regularly to pay electricity bills and repay loans. Once AI revenue becomes a stable source of cash flow, miners will no longer be forced to sell at the bottom.

Some analysts predict that by the end of 2026, AI could account for **as much as 70%** of the revenue of certain mining companies.

Seventy percent of their revenue would be unrelated to Bitcoin’s price.

What does that mean?

It means miners’ sensitivity to Bitcoin’s price is declining sharply.

Second: The valuation logic for mining companies has changed.

How did Wall Street value mining companies in the past?

By looking at Bitcoin’s price.

When Bitcoin rose, miners rose. When Bitcoin fell, miners fell. Mining companies were essentially leveraged bets on Bitcoin.

Now things are different.

Bernstein analysts said Riot is proving to Wall Street that it is “not just a Bitcoin mining company.” The stable dollar revenue from a 10-year AI contract is “completely different” from block-reward revenue that is halved every four years.

From “Bitcoin cycle stocks” to “AI data center REITs.”

When the valuation logic changes, the ceiling for the stock price changes too.

Third: Bitcoin’s hashrate moat is becoming thinner.

This may be the most overlooked point.

What secures Bitcoin? Hashrate.

What supports hashrate? Miners.

What supports miners? Mining revenue.

If the biggest mining companies are all selling their power to AI, who will protect the Bitcoin network?

Riot’s Rockdale campus once echoed with the roar of tens of thousands of Bitcoin mining machines. Now, those sounds are being replaced by GPU servers.

Bitcoin’s vaunted “hashrate moat” is being gradually drained by AI.

Here’s the painful truth—

Miners’ faith in Bitcoin is being defeated by cash flow.

It’s not that they stopped loving it. They simply can’t survive.

Losing $19k on every coin mined, who wouldn’t leave?

AI has given them a way to survive: stop being miners and become landlords.

Lease out the power and facilities, collect stable rent, and forget about fluctuations in the coin’s price.

What’s not to like? It’s so appealing that it makes people forget why they started mining in the first place.

In the short term, this $9.1 billion contract is a victory for Riot. In the long term, it is a turning point for the Bitcoin ecosystem.

When miners no longer depend on mining revenue, will they still care about Bitcoin’s price?

When hashrate changes from a network-protection mechanism into a leased commodity, will Bitcoin’s security foundation remain stable?

There are no answers to these questions today.

But the trend is already irreversible.

The sound of mining machines at the Rockdale campus in Texas is fading away.

In its place is the hum of AI servers.

Bitcoin’s “hashrate era” may have reached a turning point without anyone noticing.

Just now, BlackRock slashed the threshold for its Bitcoin ETF by 96%: from $25 million to $1 million

What’s the difference between $25 million and $1 million?

It’s the difference between whether a small or midsize fund company can get in.

It’s the difference between whether a family office dares to test the waters.

It’s the difference between the “institutional entry” narrative going from a whale-only game to an entry ticket for midsize players.

BlackRock just did something: it slashed the minimum threshold for in-kind Bitcoin redemptions for IBIT from $25 million to $1 million.

A 96% cut.

First, let’s be clear about what this is.

This is called an “in-kind exchange.”

What does that mean?

You have Bitcoin and don’t want to sell it—because selling it means paying taxes. You directly take the Bitcoin to BlackRock’s authorized participants and exchange it for IBIT ETF shares.

You don’t sell the coins, don’t pay taxes, and directly exchange them for ETF shares.

Previously, you needed $25 million worth of Bitcoin to do this.

Now $1 million is enough.

BlackRock’s head of digital assets, Robbie Mitchnick, said they still want to lower it further in the future, with the ultimate goal of eliminating the threshold entirely.

But the interesting part isn’t the number itself.

It’s the timing.

Do you know what Bitcoin ETF fund flows have looked like recently?

In the first week of August, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded combined net inflows of $853.5 million, their strongest single-week performance since mid-April. IBIT alone absorbed $694 million.

But on August 10, there were net outflows of $144.6 million in a single day. IBIT itself saw $53.6 million flow out.

Five consecutive days of inflows were wiped out in a single day.

Then BlackRock announced at this critical moment: the threshold had been lowered to $1 million.

Do you think that’s a coincidence?

The previous $25 million threshold blocked more than just money—it blocked the question of whether institutions “dared to.”

$25 million worth of Bitcoin meant having enough confidence to transfer such a large asset from your own hands into an ETF.

For the vast majority of institutions, the decision-making cost was too high.

What about $1 million?

The cost of testing the waters has dropped by an order of magnitude.

A midsize hedge fund can bring $1 million worth of Bitcoin to test the waters—if it loses, it loses $1 million, but it won’t be crippling.

But what if it gets it right?

BlackRock is betting on one thing:

The lower the threshold, the more institutions come in. The more institutions come in, the better the liquidity. The better the liquidity, the more institutions are willing to enter.

A positive feedback loop.

And don’t forget—in-kind exchanges have one huge advantage: tax avoidance.

If you sell Bitcoin directly, you can’t avoid capital gains taxes.

If you exchange Bitcoin for ETF shares, it does not trigger a taxable event.

For institutions holding large amounts of Bitcoin with huge unrealized gains on their books, this isn’t about saving a little—it’s about saving a lot.

This isn’t meant for retail investors.

The $1 million threshold has nothing to do with you or me.

But the result of this does affect everyone.

More institutions coming in = more money coming in. More money coming in = better liquidity. Better liquidity = more stable price discovery.

What BlackRock is building isn’t a narrow bridge for whales to cross.

It’s an asphalt road for the entire institutional world.

Once the road is paved, the cars will naturally come. #Gate多项交易指标全球Top4 #股票交易分享挑战 #CPI数据前夜,押注还是观望 $BTC $ETH $IBIT

Trump’s media company lost $238 million in one quarter

If your company lost $238 million in one quarter, with $190 million of that caused by Bitcoin falling—

Would you panic?

Trump Media just turned in a “spectacular” Q2 report card.

A net loss of $238 million in Q2.

Of that, more than $190 million came from declines in the value of its Bitcoin, other digital assets, and stock holdings.

As of June 30, the company held 9,477.16 BTC, with a fair value of approximately $557.1 million.

At the end of March, it held 9,542 BTC.

That’s 65 fewer BTC in one quarter.

Crypto asset-related losses totaled $360.6 million in the first half of the year.

But the most interesting part isn’t the loss figure itself.

It’s how the company explained it.

The financial report stated it clearly: These losses were “unrealized paper losses”—meaning that as long as Bitcoin recovers, the money can come back.

Translated into plain English: I didn’t really lose money; it just looks bad on paper.

But shareholders don’t see it that way.

After the report was released, DJT’s share price fell 6.57% to $3.70.

As of the close on August 11, the share price was $8.91, with a total market capitalization of $2.48B.

When it went public in early 2024, the share price was $70.90.

That’s an 87% drop.

To be blunt—

What kind of company is Trump Media now?

Its core business, Truth Social, saw monthly active users drop 36% year over year.

Its Q2 revenue was just $1.7 million, up 89% year over year.

89% sounds impressive, right? But $1.7 million in revenue isn’t even enough to cover a fraction of its losses.

All of its revenue came from the streaming service Truth+, ETF management fees, and subscriptions.

Essentially, this is a media company relying on Bitcoin to support its market value.

And Bitcoin has fallen 46% over the past year.

It also holds 756 million Cronos tokens, whose value shrank from $68 million at the end of 2025 to $40.6 million.

Cronos has fallen 72% over the past year.

A media company’s financial statements have been dragged down by two cryptocurrencies.

But what deserves even more attention is—

Trump Media is adjusting its strategy.

The financial report made it clear: The company plans to adjust its Bitcoin reserve strategy and use tools such as options to reduce volatility.

What does that mean?

Moving from “holding blindly” to “dynamic management.”

And it’s not just Trump Media.

Strategy, the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin holder, has seen its share price fall 76% and has sold approximately $430 million worth of Bitcoin since June.

The logic behind corporate crypto holdings is shifting from “faith” to “business.”

For us, if more and more publicly listed companies begin dynamically managing their Bitcoin holdings—

Will Bitcoin become more volatile, or less?

My view: More volatile in the short term, but more stable in the long term.

Because the essence of dynamic management is selling high and buying low.

When Bitcoin rises, companies sell some to lock in profits. When Bitcoin falls, companies buy some to lower their average cost.

This will cause prices to fluctuate within a range more frequently, but it will also make extreme market moves less common.

In other words—Bitcoin is shifting from a “casino” to a normal asset on the balance sheet.

And Trump Media is a real-world example of this transition.

One final point—

Trump Media used a $238 million loss to teach every corporate Bitcoin holder a lesson:

Bitcoin is not a belief; it is an asset.

Assets fluctuate, fluctuations affect financial statements, and financial statements affect share prices.

And when share prices fall, shareholders vote with their feet.

You think you’re HODLing.

In reality, you’re managing market capitalization.

If more and more companies begin “dynamically managing” their Bitcoin holdings, do you think that will be good or bad for BTC?#GateLaunchpool瓜分141万枚DOS #Gate多项交易指标全球Top4 #CPI数据前夜,押注还是观望 $BTC $ETH $TRUMP

After the first wave, I saw signs of accumulation and jumped in with 100k. It could have made 30x at the peak; since it only started rising later, I sold at 15x, which was fine. The first wave went from $1,000 to $10,000, getting off to a great start and letting me catch a massive spike. Full-Power 9 God is now live.

If I hold more, the best-case outcome is that they hedge each other; most of the time, I lose money.

Congress is still bickering, but the SEC has flipped the table—the regulatory “dual-track system” is officially underway

What would you do if Congress kept failing to give you the answer you wanted?

Most people would wait.

But the SEC has chosen: no more waiting.

On August 14, this Friday, the SEC will hold a public meeting to review a set of crypto asset regulations called “Regulation Crypto.”

Meanwhile, the CLARITY Act, which the entire industry has awaited for a full year, has officially had its Senate floor vote postponed until September.

One is dragging its feet, while the other is charging ahead.

U.S. crypto regulation has officially entered a dual-track era of “slower legislation, rules first.”

First, let’s clarify one thing: where exactly is the CLARITY Act stuck?

The bill has already passed the House, and the Senate Banking Committee also approved it by 15:9. It is just one step away.

But Democrats refused to reach a consensus on the procedural timeline, and Senate Majority Leader John Thune confirmed on August 7 that the vote would be postponed until September.

Once the voting window closed, the probability on Polymarket that the bill would pass in 2026 plunged from above 70% at the start of the year to just 17%.

The expectations surrounding a $5 million bet evaporated overnight.

Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan put it even more bluntly—the bill has entered a “walking dead” state.

But the other side of the story is what is truly worth watching.

SEC Chairman Paul Atkins did not wait.

On the very day the Senate went into recess, he directly pushed forward an independent set of “cryptocurrency regulation” rules.

Moreover, this framework may be friendlier to the crypto industry than the bill being fought over by the two parties in Congress.

Three pillars:

First, simplified disclosure—establishing practical reporting standards for crypto protocols instead of forcing them into the old traditional securities framework.

Second, a safe harbor—giving developers room to launch projects and achieve decentralization. Once a project is genuinely decentralized, its asset can shed its status as a security.

Third, registration exemptions—allowing startups to raise funds without completing the SEC’s full registration process.

Specifically, the SEC is considering an exemption pathway allowing startups to raise up to $5 million cumulatively over a maximum of four years; larger projects would be exempt from registration for fundraising of up to $75 million within 12 months.

In other words: the SEC is opening crypto projects a path to “legal fundraising without having to kneel down and register.”

So here is the question—

Is the SEC’s early move a positive development, or an even greater source of uncertainty?

The answer is: both.

On the positive side: TD Cowen analyst Jaret Seiberg pointed out that the SEC’s proposal could bring greater certainty to the crypto market. Hougan of Bitwise was even more direct, saying that under Atkins’ leadership, the SEC’s rules could become a catalyst for the industry.

Previously, project teams could only rely on lawyers to guess—does this count as a security? Will the SEC come knocking?

Now the SEC is saying: I’ll tell you the standards; just follow them.

This represents an order-of-magnitude reduction in compliance costs for the entire industry.

On the uncertainty side: the SEC is, after all, only an administrative agency. Its rules do not carry the same force as congressional legislation. When a new chair takes over, the rules could be overturned.

Moreover, after the proposal is approved, it will have to go through at least 60 days of public comment, and the final text could take months to take effect.

That means another long period of “waiting.”

But one thing is certain—

U.S. crypto regulation is shifting from “enforcement-based regulation” to “rules first.”

How did the SEC regulate crypto before? Enforcement. Prosecutions, fines, and settlements. Project teams did not know where the boundaries were, because judges drew them.

What is the SEC doing now? Laying out the rules. Telling you what the rules are, how to obtain exemptions, and how to enter the safe harbor.

From “chasing and beating” to “leading the way”—this shift matters more than the passage of any bill.

A few final words—

Congress is still bickering over the “ethics clause.”

The SEC has already produced a full three-page regulatory framework.

Who is getting things done and who is holding things back is clear at a glance.

Of course, the SEC’s rules are not the endpoint. They are merely holding up an umbrella for the industry during the legislative vacuum.

But at least this umbrella means you do not have to run naked in the storm.

Congress is responsible for bickering; the SEC is responsible for getting things done.
