Two stocks in South Korea, Samsung Electronics and SK hynix, account for 60% of the stock market, and young South Koreans who use leverage to trade stocks have suffered a backlash. South Korea’s finance minister apologized today. “Leverage is a crime,” but it’s like those with leverage who got lucky and escaped punishment are immortals—most of those who use leverage will be punished because they’re mortal. ​​​

XRP’s $2.43 Billion Derivatives Overhang Dwarfs Spot Market Ahead of Fed - - #bitcoin #federalreserve #xrp

From the high ground it looks exciting, but when it’s truly time to short, there are actually only a few people who would dare. The price kept repeatedly charging around 0.21896, yet it still couldn’t stand firm. As the rallies started to look more and more like they were draining people’s sentiment, I didn’t chase the upside just because everyone around me was bullish—I first waited for signs that it couldn’t catch bids.
That later quick drop made me change my mind about the hesitation I had before. The moment the rebound appeared, selling pressure pinned it down, and the short-seller rhythm

$ETH isn't looking weak.
It's loading.
Everyone is focused on the rejection.
I'm focused on the structure.
As long as $1,900 holds, bulls remain in control.
A clean reclaim of $1,960 could be the catalyst that sends ETH back toward $2,000+.
This isn't the phase to chase.
It's the phase to pay attention.
The next impulse move usually starts when most people lose interest.
Watch the levels.
Not the noise.

The Pause That Speaks Volumes: Why the US Halted Strikes on Iran and What It Means for Markets
After 13 consecutive nights of intensifying airstrikes on Iranian targets, the United States military abruptly suspended its bombing campaign on July 25, 2026. The cessation was not the product of a signed ceasefire, a jointly announced truce, or a diplomatic breakthrough. It was a de facto pause—a strategic intermission born of military depletion and the inability to translate escalation into political gains. Iran reciprocated, halting its retaliatory operations for as long as the US maintained its

$ICP is sitting at a very interesting level right now.
Price has been respecting a clear descending trendline for weeks, and after another rejection from the upper trendline, it has now broken below the key $2.10 support zone.
The important part is what happens next. If $2.10–$2.12 turns into resistance on a retest, I think the breakdown could continue, with $1.67 as the major downside area I'm watching.
As long as ICP remains below the descending trendline and fails to reclaim the broken support, my bias stays bearish.

Get out of the early bottom completely! Data is coming early Thursday morning! In three words: rebound—just rebound! After the so-called “American valley,” you only need to keep trading around the previous high at 66,800–65,600. Manage your position size and leave room to “add margin and refill.” The first target is around yesterday’s low at 62,600; if it breaks down, look at 61,800! For short-term traders, take profits as they come; “Auntie” syncs as well!

Everyone, pay attention! The market could be a bit turbulent tonight.
At 10:30, we’ll first have EIA crude oil inventories, and right after that in the early hours, the Fed will hold its policy meeting—two major “wild cards” combined. If things go badly, tonight could break down and move against you directly. At times like this, don’t be stubborn and go heavy betting on the direction—it’s easy to end up “sending warmth” to the market. Remember: reduce your position, set your stop-loss properly, and wait until the news lands and you can clearly see the trend before taking action. You don’t need

This week, the AI sector is very likely to become the battleground with the most extreme sentiment.
The bulls think every pullback is an opportunity.
The bears think every rebound is a trap.
But the real market never takes sides.
It prefers to throw off anyone without discipline during violent swings.
Once the disagreement ends, the trend will truly form.
By then, a new batch of newcomers will rush into the market, thinking they’ve caught the first wave of opportunity—without realizing that the real large capital has already finished laying the groundwork.
Every market cycle eliminates some pe
