August hasn't historically been kind to Bitcoin.
Looking back to 2013, $BTC has finished the month with negative returns in 9 different years, making it one of the more closely watched periods on the calendar.
History offers valuable context, but it doesn't guarantee what comes next.
Every cycle has its own narrative, and markets are known for surprising the majority.
Whether this August follows the trend or breaks it, the coming weeks are likely to be worth watching.

$PEPE showing classic crypto volatility!

After bouncing off the 0.000002886 local support, $PEPE just pulled off a sharp spike straight up to 0.000002963 before taking a quick breather back down to 0.000002914 (+4.97%).

That massive upper wick on the 15-minute chart shows buyers aggressively pushed the price, but profit-taking hit just as fast.

With 24-hour volume reaching 2.96T PEPE, the frog token is definitely waking up.

Are we looking at a quick liquidity sweep before the next leg up, or just a temporary pump?

Life will tell you that working hard to earn money and taking good care of yourself matters more than anything. While you’re still young, don’t talk about some peaceful, effortless “golden years.” If you have time, make more money; if you don’t, stop with all the fuss and over-the-top self-pity. Because living really isn’t cheap—an adult’s dignity and backbone are both given to you by money.”

ETH worth $1,855—are you still holding?

First, look at the surface: the decline won’t stop, and faith is collapsing.

On August 2, ETH is quoted at $1,855; over the past 24 hours it’s moved slightly, and the weekly chart is still chopping in the lower range. Since the historical high of $4,953 in August 2025, it’s fallen more than 60%. The daily chart is testing near the lower edge of an upward channel; 1,820-1,835 is a strong demand zone. The oscillators are neutral, and on the 1H chart there are signs of a potential bottom divergence: support is coming, but it needs confirmation.

First thing: retail is in despair, but institutions are going crazy “buying the dip.”

You scroll through Twitter every day—“ETH is not doing well,” “V God isn’t working,” “L2 is sucking blood”—sounds like the end of the world? But look at the on-chain data:

BitMine and other companies keep accumulating ETH in large amounts, with targets approaching 5% of supply

Staking ratio is already above 30%, and circulating supply keeps tightening

US spot ETH ETFs show small net inflows, with BlackRock-related products leading the buying

Second thing: ETH is going through a “transformation period,” you just don’t have patience.

The GlAmsterdam upgrade is targeted to land in the second half of 2026, focusing on:

Faster, cheaper transactions, with L2 fees dropping again

Higher staking yields, making institutions more willing to lock up

A major boost to the mainnet’s value-capture ability

But the problem is—there’s upgrade delay risk, and in the short term there are no strong catalysts.

Third thing: a technical signal has appeared that must be taken seriously.

The 1,835-1,850 area is the lower edge of the upward channel plus a strong demand zone. The 1H chart shows a potential bottom divergence; RSI is neutral, but the histogram has flipped positive. At the 1,850 level, bulls and bears have been stuck in a three-day chop with volume shrinking to the extreme—an inflection is imminent.

But August data is packed: August 7 jobs report (non-farm), August 12 CPI, and the end-of-month Jackson Hole. Every cut could slice into your position.

Bulls vs bears—you decide for yourself

One side is:

Enterprise-level accumulation (like BitMine) approaching 5% of supply

Staking locks exceed 30%, and circulating supply tightens

ETF small net inflows, and BlackRock is buying

1,835-1,850 strong demand zone + support at the lower edge of the channel

Potential bottom divergence on 1H

The other side is:

Down from 4,900 to now, down more than 60%, with massive trapped-position sell pressure

FOMC hawkish hold steady (3 people lean toward rate hikes)

Inflation stickiness at 3.3%-3.7%, with real yields relatively high

Very high uncertainty in August data

GlAmsterdam rollout has delay risk, with no strong short-term catalyst

Key levels

Resistance overhead: 1,875-1,905 (EMA cluster and channel midline) → 1,920-1,955 → 1,980

Support below: 1,820-1,835 (strong demand zone) → 1,780 → 1,720

For short-term traders:

Test long with a light position around 1,855 or on a pullback to 1,835-1,850; stop-loss at 1,820; first target 1,875-1,905, second 1,920-1,950. If it breaks and holds above 1,900 on increased volume, add and look toward 1,980.

For the more cautious:

Wait to place orders to buy in the 1,820-1,835 area; stop-loss at 1,780. The odds are extremely high, but you only do it once.

For short / high-throw thinking:

If it rebounds into 1,900-1,920 or around 1,950 and meets resistance, you can lightly test a short; stop-loss above 1,955-1,980; target a move back to 1,850-1,820.

ETH is down 60%—this isn’t a sign of faith collapsing; it’s fear discounting and selling you a quality asset.

But you need to be clear: the current price isn’t driven by on-chain prosperity—it’s determined by the Federal Reserve.

If August data skews dovish, ETH could surge to 2,200; if it skews hawkish and 1,820 breaks, look for 1,600.

So my plan is simple: lightly test long around 1,855; if 1,820 breaks, exit. Hold for 1,980-2,200; if I’m wrong, take a 3% loss and leave.

ETH right now is like BTC at the end of 2022—

99% of people thought “smart contracts are done,” and the result was ETF + institutions directly pulling it up.

SNDK at $1,240—do you dare to bottom-fish?

First, look at the surface: bodies everywhere, retail investors in despair.

From the June 22 historical high of 2,354, it plunged nearly 50% to around 1,000, and is currently struggling in the $1,200–$1,240 range. The semiconductor sector is being dumped across the board; concerns about China’s competition are everywhere. Everyone is shouting: NAND is collapsing, and AI is cooling off. The daily chart is cut in half; after the RSI gets extremely oversold, there’s a weak rebound, and a nascent head-and-shoulders top is starting to show.

First thing: what you’re seeing is a “price halving.” What institutions are seeing is a $42B guaranteed base income.

What is the market afraid of? Afraid NAND prices will peak; afraid Chinese manufacturers will steal orders; afraid the cycle will reverse.

But look closely—SanDisk has already signed multiple multi-year customer agreements. There’s a minimum revenue commitment of $42B, plus financial guarantees and upfront payments.

Are you worried about “demand peaking”? Customers are telling you with real money—an AI storage gap that’s ridiculously large.

Second thing: the financial report tells you what a real “money-printing machine” looks like.

Q3 FY2026 financial report: revenue $5.95 billion, up 251% year over year; non-GAAP gross margin 78%; data center business jumps quarter-over-quarter. Q4 guidance: revenue $7.5–$8.25 billion, higher gross margin, stronger EPS.

A company with 78% gross margin, and revenue is still accelerating

A $6 billion share repurchase plan—the company is buying itself

Analysts’ target price: 1,500–2,500; the current price is only 1,240

Market cap: $180 billion, the only “pure” bet in the AI storage track

Third thing: the Aug 5 earnings could be a nuclear-bomb level catalyst.

Next Tuesday (Aug 5) after market close, SNDK will release its FY2026 Q4 earnings report, with consensus EPS around 34+ and revenue of $8.4 billion. On Aug 13, the Investor Day will disclose the product roadmap.

Two timeline points—any one beating expectations could send the stock soaring. Why? Because it’s already dropped 50% over the past month, fully price-in the most pessimistic expectations.

Earnings beat expectations → brutal rebound. Earnings miss expectations → drop another 10–15%, then what? The $42B guaranteed base income is right there—falling also becomes a golden pit.

Key levels.

Resistance overhead: 1,280–1,300 → 1,400–1,450 → 1,500+

Support below: 1,200 (first line) → 1,100 (second line) → 950–1,000 (iron bottom)

You decide after the battle of bulls vs. bears.

One side is:

Multi-year $42B agreements locked in; upfront payments already received

Q3 revenue up 251%, gross margin 78%, cash-cow

$6 billion repurchase plan—the company is buying like crazy

Analysts’ target price 1,500–2,500; current price is severely undervalued

Aug 5 earnings + Aug 13 Investor Day—dual-catalyst “double bombs”

The other side is:

Down 2354 in a halving; technical shorts lined up

Semiconductor sector dumped together; sentiment extremely bad

NAND cycle worries + China competition narrative

If the Fed turns more hawkish, high-beta names get hit first

For short-term traders:

Pull back to 1,200–1,220 and only then consider a small long entry with a stop-loss at 1,150; targets 1,280–1,320. If it breaks below 1,200 on volume, then wait—don’t bottom-fish. A valid breakdown below 1,200: consider a small short position, target 1,100–1,000, stop-loss above 1,230.

For mid-term traders:

Around 1,200, accumulate in 2–3 batches; target 1,500–1,800. Stop-loss set below 1,050. Betting on sustained AI storage demand explosion + earnings beat + Investor Day catalyst. The odds here are excellent: down 10–15%, up 50–100%.

For long-term believers:

DCA with your eyes closed below 1,200. AI storage is one of the most certain tracks for the next 5 years, and SNDK is the only pure NAND play. 2,000+ isn’t a dream.

SNDK right now is like Meta at the end of 2022—

$4.2 的 BEAT,空头已经哭晕了

先看表面:解锁利空,价格不跌反涨。

8月1日解锁21.25M枚BEAT,占流通6.87%,价值68M美金。市场预期:砸穿3.5。实际走势:逆势拉涨超16%,短时冲到4.5-5区间,空头被清算得一干二净。K线告诉你:4.0-4.1强支撑守住,日线站上多条EMA均线。

第一件事:你以为解锁是砸盘,庄家在笑你太天真。

解锁21.25M枚,价值68M美金——听着吓人?但你仔细看盘面:卖单被一口吞掉,价格从3.8直接被干到4.5。

解锁前市场已经把价格砸了一遍,真正解锁那天,该卖的人早卖了。剩下的空单,全是狗庄的燃料。

第二件事:这玩意儿有"印钞机",还不是空气币。

Audiera是啥?Web3节奏音乐舞蹈游戏平台,继承Audition IP,历史用户超600M。

BEAT不是空气,是真实收入驱动的通缩资产:

平台收入几乎全部回购+燃烧BEAT

周收入约800kBEAT,燃烧率99.8%

累计燃烧超17.8M枚

第三件事:技术面出现了一个必须重视的信号。

日线已站上EMA 20/50/100/200,趋势彻底转多。4H级别仍在上升趋势线上方,形成"更高低点"结构。解锁前从3.x拉到4.5-5,现在回踩4.2,典型的突破后回踩确认。

但4.5-4.7这个位置,是近期高点区域。是直接捅穿,还是再砸回3.8洗一波?

多空对决,你自己看

一边是:

解锁利空被消化,价格逆势拉涨16%

真实收入驱动,99.8%燃烧率,累计燃烧超17.8M枚

日线站上所有关键均线,趋势多头

与Astarter合作AI agent基础设施,叙事延续

一边是:

流通只有300M,FDV偏高,高波动是常态

9月、10月还有解锁,需持续跟踪

游戏+AI叙事赛道,依赖用户增长验证

BTC若跌破62k,所有山寨跟跌

关键位置

上方阻力:4.5-4.7(近期高点)→ 4.8-5.0(强阻力)→ 6.0+

下方支撑:4.0-4.1(短期强支撑)→ 3.8-3.9(更深支撑)→ 3.2-3.3(日线关键EMA)

激进短线多:

入场4.05-4.20区间,止损3.95下方,第一目标4.50-4.70,第二目标4.90-5.20,更高看6+。盈亏比至少1:2,别贪。

稳健中线多:

等回调3.80-4.00强支撑企稳再进,止损3.70,目标5.0+。或等放量突破4.70后追,止损回落到4.40。

空单机会:

若放量跌破3.95,可轻仓试空,目标3.50-3.20,止损4.20上方。

风控铁律:

BEAT日内波动常超10-20%,杠杆控制在5-10倍以内,仓位不超过总资金10-15%。资金费率太高时别死扛多单。大盘若突然转弱,立刻减仓。

BEAT现在就像2024年初的SOL——

BTC at $63,200—are you still waiting for it to go lower?

First, the surface: a barrage of bearish news—retail panic.

It’s the weekend today, liquidity is thin, and price is repeatedly grinding in the $62,400–$63,500 range. 24-hour volatility is under $1,000, but over the past 7 days it’s down more than 10%, sliding all the way from 68,000. The daily chart is running below the EMA55, but RSI is only in the neutral zone at 47–52. On the 1-hour chart, RSI briefly dropped below 30 (oversold). Panic has been released, but direction hasn’t been chosen yet.

First thing: ETFs are seeing outflows—but do you know how much?

On July 31, spot Bitcoin ETFs had net outflows of $265 million, led by BlackRock selling.

Sounds scary? But look closely—since the start of the year, the ETF overall has already shown very significant net outflows. Yet the price has fallen from 126k to 63k, down 50%. Do you think this bearish catalyst hasn’t been fully digested yet?

Coldcard was hacked for $70 million—price didn’t even crash. What does “bearish news fully priced in” mean? This is it.

Second thing: the Fed is hawkish, but the market doesn’t care anymore.

On July 29’s FOMC, the 9-3 vote kept interest rates unchanged, and somehow 3 voters argued for a rate hike. The 10-year US Treasury yield spiked to 4.6%–4.7%, and a strong dollar is suppressing all risk assets.

You’ve added interest on top of interest for two full years—now rates are 3.5%–3.75%.

The market has already priced in “higher for longer.”

June YoY CPI was 3.5%, not 5%—it’s 3.5%.

And—September’s rate-hike probability is only 50%–60%, basically a coin flip.

Third thing: a technical signal has appeared that you must take seriously.

$62,400 was held. This level is triple support: a recent low + a psychological line + the daily demand zone. The candle closed with a long lower wick, the 1-hour RSI rebounded from the oversold area around 29, and there are signs of a MACD golden cross.

But $64,000–$64,100 is the daily EMA55, and price is still running below it. Is this a rebound that confirms a reversal, or will it just pop and then keep sliding?

It’s a battle between bulls and bears—judge for yourself:

On one side:

$62,400 failed to break three times—strong support confirmed
1-hour oversold + MACD golden cross—short-term rebound signal
Long-term holders haven’t capitulated at large scale, easing selling pressure from the supply side
$62,000–$62,400 is a historically high-volume trading zone—buyers are strong

On the other side:

Daily still below EMA55—trend is bearish
ETFs keep bleeding out, institutional demand is weak
10-year US Treasury yield at 4.7%—pressuring non-yielding assets
August’s historical seasonality is weak—don’t expect a V-shaped reversal

Key levels

Resistance overhead: $63,700–$64,000 (1H/4H EMA) → $64,300–$65,000 (prior high supply zone)
Support below: $62,800–$62,400 (strong recent support) → $62,000 (psychological level) → $60,000 (hard floor)

For short-term traders:

Pull back and see $62,800–$62,400 stabilize (1H green candle + volume). Go long with a light position, stop-loss at $62,000, target $63,700–$64,300. If there’s an effective breakdown of $62,800, that confirms it—then you can lightly chase a short targeting $62,350–$61,800.

For swing traders:

Mostly stay on the sidelines. If August holds $60,000 and you see ETF inflows returning plus macro softening, scale into spot longs in batches, targeting 70,000+. If $60,000 breaks with rising volume, wait for an even lower level before entering.

For long-term believers:

DCA in batches below $62,000. It’s already down 50% from the 126k ATH. Historical pattern: whenever drawdown exceeds 40%, those are golden dips.

BTC right now feels like the desperate moment at the end of 2022—

99% of people think the bear market still has another year of downside—then in 2023 it went straight from 16,000 to 30,000. #Gate独家美股0费率 #USD1持币生息最高8% #长鑫科技市值突破4万亿元 $BTC $ETH $SOL

$52 worth of HYPE—can you actually bring yourself to sell?

First, look at the surface: panic is spreading, and retail investors want to run.

From the June peak of 78 down to 52, the drop in a month is over 30%, with a 7-day drop of 11% and a 30-day drop of 22%. The daily RSI is 38-39, nearing oversold; the MACD is bearish. Extreme fear, but the fundamentals haven't changed at all.

First thing: you're scared about the unlock, but they’re buying—buying—buying.

What has the community been panicking about recently? Some large transfers to CEX, expectations for unlocked supply, and short-term sell pressure. But look at the other side—Japanese listed company Eole Inc. has just become the first Japanese company to officially hold HYPE. It bought $66k worth first, with plans to expand to $610k.

The “regular army” has started allocating HYPE as treasury assets.

Second thing: the buyback-and-burn is much more aggressive than you think.

The protocol allocates nearly 99% of its revenue to buyback and burn HYPE, with millions of dollars of real cash going into buying every day.

Annualized revenue is about $800 million

Nearly all of it goes to buyback and burn

Circulating supply keeps shrinking, and buy-side demand keeps showing up

Every HYPE you sell is taken away by the protocol.

Third thing: a technical signal has appeared that you must take seriously.

52 is the 32% retracement level from the ATH, and it’s also the daily oversold zone (RSI 38-39). The short-term downtrend channel is testing key support; the volume hasn’t blown out with extreme panic, suggesting big money hasn’t left—it's just washing the market.

But if 50-52 can’t hold, the next stop is 48, or even lower.

It’s the long-versus-short showdown—you decide.

One side has:

Protocol annual revenue of $800 million, with 99% for buyback and burn

Japanese listed company’s first allocation of HYPE as treasury assets

HIP-4 going live, with new scenarios expected to land

TVL of $6 billion, with 70%+ of perpetual trading share

RSI oversold, very high probability of a technical rebound

The other side has:

Dropped from 78 to 52, a 32% pullback in one month

Some large transfers to CEX, unlocking supply expectations

Macro is hawkish, with BTC ranging around $63k

If 50-52 breaks down, it could accelerate to 48

Key levels

Resistance overhead: 55-56 → 58-60 → 63 → prior high 78

Support below: 50-52 (strong support) → 48 (prior demand zone)

For short-term traders:

Try a small long near 52, stop-loss at 49.5-50, target 55-56; if it breaks, look at 58-60. If it breaks below 50 on volume, don’t catch the bottom—wait for 48 to reassess.

For mid-term players (my preference):

Accumulate in batches at a low entry in the 50-52 range; once it holds above 56, add gradually; target 60-65. Put the stop-loss below 48.

For long-term believers:

Buy via dollar-cost averaging with no hesitation below 50. Fundamentals are solid (revenue + buyback + expansion). Pullbacks are the accumulation zone. The target is the forward valuation implied by institutional research reports.

HYPE right now is like SOL in 2023—

99% of people think “on-chain derivatives have no chance,” and the result is that revenue explodes and it flies. #Gate独家美股0费率 #USD1持币生息最高8% #长鑫科技市值突破4万亿元 $BTC $SOL $HYPE

Two completely different answersheets, in the same July.

The US June PCE inflation index fell 0.1% month-on-month—its first monthly negative growth since 2020. Inflation is cooling down, and the data couldn’t be clearer.

So what happens next?

The 30-year US Treasury yield kept pushing through 5.27%, the highest since 2007. The 10-year jumped to 4.733%, up by more than 30 basis points within the month, marking the biggest July increase since 2005.

On one hand, they say “inflation is cooling.” On the other hand, they say “inflation isn’t over.”

Who’s lying?

Nobody’s lying. It’s just that they’re looking at different time horizons.

A PCE month-on-month turn negative—this is short-term. Oil prices piling up by about 20% in a single month, domestic demand hitting a two-year high in the second quarter, and the fiscal deficit continuing to worsen—those are long-term.

Short end looks at data; long end looks at belief.

The bond market is telling the Federal Reserve one sentence with real money: “I don’t believe your ‘inflation is temporarily over’ theory.”

On Wednesday, Federal Reserve Chair Waller announced that interest rates would be kept unchanged. Then what? Bond investors took matters into their own hands—“bond vigilantes” tightened financial conditions further, and the 30-year yield rose by another 6 basis points.

Waller himself said: “In the past 42 days, the Federal Reserve has done limited things, but the market has already done a lot of work.”

Plainly translated: “If you don’t hike, fine—I’ll do it myself.”

What does this have to do with our Bitcoin?

It has a lot to do with it.

The 30-year Treasury yield is the valuation anchor for global risk assets. For every 100 basis point increase, the valuation discount of all risk assets deepens by another layer.

Where is Bitcoin right now? Around $63,000. After falling from 65,000+, bearish voices are everywhere in the market. Some analysts call for a drop to $60,000–$62,000, arguing it “lacks macroeconomic support.”

With a risk-free return of over 5%, why would anyone bet their money on your crypto?

This isn’t alarmist.

US Treasury yields have already surpassed the returns from crypto arbitrage trades—so why would marginal buy orders stop at cash? That’s the answer.

But things aren’t that simple.

At the FOMC meeting, three votes favored rate hikes—this is the first time since 2016 that such a clear internal dissent appeared. The Fed even fought itself.

Even more twisted: after the June PCE data was released, short-end Treasury yields fell, but the long end held near the 19-year high of 5.2%.

The market is voting with its feet: I don’t care about short-term data—I care about the long-term direction.

Oil prices, domestic demand, fiscal deficits, and AI investment demand—four forces are all pushing up long-end yields at the same time. This isn’t something you can press down just because PCE month-on-month turned negative.

So is 5.27% the top, or is it a new starting point?

My view is: if oil prices keep rising, 5.27% is not the top.

Gonlakh has already said: long-end yields could climb to the “mid-5.5% range” before the next Fed meeting in September.

And once the 30-year mortgage rate breaks above 7.50% before year-end, borrowing costs will surge—that’s the real tightening of financial conditions, far harsher than the Fed hiking a few more times.

For those of us holding coins, there’s only one thing that’s certain right now:

The Fed is standing by, the bond market is acting, and Bitcoin is getting beaten up.

The true bottom isn’t created by a drop—it’s created by a liquidity turning point.

And the liquidity door is now stuck at that number: 5.27%—and in the story behind it, “the bond market doesn’t believe the Fed.” #Gate独家美股0费率 #USD1持币生息最高8% #长鑫科技市值突破4万亿元 $BTC $ETH $SOL
