That high-level grinding-top pattern went on for quite a while. After seeing the stock rally a few times, a lot of people started to get itchy, thinking it would keep pushing higher. But I didn’t chase at the time. The price spiked and then pulled back around 1.0030; once the buy pressure weakened, the screen immediately showed signs of fatigue.

After I got into the short position, the market first moved sideways, then it came with another upward spike needle. In that moment, I was genuinely a bit panicky, wondering if I’d gotten off too early. Fortunately, I didn’t get swept along by the sh

In July, overall market sentiment was bearish. With capital moving in the same direction, Bitcoin’s monthly price fell to around 62,500; resistance above 67,500 is extremely strong, making the probability of a large monthly rally very low. There is strong support at 60,000, and a deep sell-off would be a low-probability black-swan scenario.

Honestly, the order book before this drop was very good at deceiving people. The price once around 4.25647 showed unusual strength, with plenty of pump-up moves, nearly pulling me into the chase-trade rhythm. But every time it surged, it quickly fell back—its “strength” seemed more like consuming the next buyers.
After I chose to short, things in the middle were not smooth. Several rebounds scattered the short sentiment, and many people around me may already have been washed out. I was also a bit anxious then, but my original judgment didn’t change: at the top there are people selling, but the

#BTC has held up again for 8h. With a big pullback in US stocks’ tech sector, the “bread” (BTC) overall is relatively solid, suggesting the probability is high that the earlier decline already bottomed out. Those who are currently in cash can consider buying 10–20% of a base/core position to prevent being left behind (missing the upside).

👨‍💻Testnet2 Recently, it’s been running extremely smoothly—several nodes quickly upgraded to v26.1, and it runs as smoothly as Sunsilk shampoo! And just now, I checked the timetable and saw an official mainnet announcement scheduled to be released on August 11.
This step is very close to the deadline, so let’s get ready for the big wave!

At dawn, I laid out a high-altitude plan for the ETH rebound, anticipating the 1930–1960 resistance range. Price rose to a high of 1930, and after coming close to the resistance band, it faced pressure and fell back; the low dipped to 1883, successfully reaching the first target just below 1900.
The market movement fully matched the earlier forecast. There’s no need for frequent, frequent back-and-forth trading—keep the key resistance levels covered and wait for the opportunity. The market will naturally deliver on the expectations. #USD1持币生息最高8% $BTC $ETH
