8 of the last 9 times, price has reacted more bearishly than bullishly after approaching these pivots.
Narrative + context will be important to observe when approaching this period.
We saw the 4% drop after the 14th which I was aiming for. Next key period is the 28th.

$XAU Keep going long this round, and you can also look for long opportunities with $AKE and $SNDK . Right now the price action is converging tightly; it could break through the MA99 resistance at any time and push for new highs. Entry positions to watch are in the 3999 to 4019 range. On the upside, it could reach 4203 and even 4358. However, be mindful of the risks: if the 1-hour MA99 can’t break through effectively, it may get pushed back toward around 4005. A defensive position is roughly at 3879. Don’t go all-in. Control your position size based on your own account.

#TSMCQ2NetProfitSurges77%
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited, commonly known as TSMC, has delivered an exceptional financial performance in the second quarter of 2025, marking a historic milestone in the semiconductor industry. The world's largest contract chip manufacturer reported a staggering 77.4 percent year-over-year increase in net profit, reaching an unprecedented NT$706.56 billion which translates to approximately $21.99 billion in United States dollars. This remarkable achievement represents the ninth consecutive quarter of double-digit percentage growth for the comp

$ARIA Continue to stay bearish. Everyone is crazily buying the dip, but I think this could be just a trap.
The 4-hour short structure is still intact for now, and the daily momentum is also relatively weak. The price has clearly been rejected in the 0.02279 to 0.02286 area. Now the 15-minute RSI is around 60, which gives enough room for the bears to keep pushing downward. Also, the 15-minute trading volume is extremely low, confirming real sell pressure rather than market noise.
At the moment, you can look for bearish opportunities in the 0.02279 to 0.02286 range; downward, it may test 0.0225

$LAB /USDT on the 4-hour timeframe, the short signal has been triggered, but who is quietly accumulating?
$LAB /USDT - SHORT
Trading plan:
Entry: 0.17845 – 0.18277
SL: 0.20131
TP1: 0.16509
TP2: 0.15474
TP3: 0.13921
Why pay attention to this structure?
- Current price is 0.18061, exactly sitting below the 4-hour EMA key level, with a clear bearish structure.
- RSI on the 15-minute timeframe is only 40.79; there is no oversold rebound momentum in the short term, and bearish pressure is still ongoing.
- Target TP1 0.16509, TP2 0.15474, stop-loss 0.20131— the risk-reward ratio is close to 3:1, and

July 18, 2026 (Saturday) BTC/USDT Perpetual Futures Complete Hands-On Trading Strategy
I. Core Market Tone Setting
Current price is 63,900. On Saturday, institutional funds have exited, and market liquidity has contracted sharply. Price action is locked in a low-volume consolidation range of 62,800–65,500. In the prior daily move, the rally topped at 65,500 faced continuous rejection and then fell back. Long-side momentum keeps weakening. This is a post-rally platform rest-and-realign stage, and the higher-timeframe and long-term bearish moving averages pressure has not been lifted.

Tom Lee: Bitcoin could ultimately reach $3 million
This is the same person who was bullish on Bitcoin when it was only $1,000, and now he has given his judgment again. His logic isn’t complicated:
▪️ At present, there are about 4 million wallets worldwide holding Bitcoin worth more than $10k;
▪️ while the number of brokerage accounts with assets of more than $10k worldwide is close to 900 million;
▪️ the people who truly allocate to Bitcoin are still only a tiny minority.
At the same time, more and more new capital is entering the market:
▪️ Sovereign states are starting to buy Bitcoin
▪️ Reti

I don’t think the market is waiting for another speech on the CLARITY Act.
It is waiting for an actual path forward.
The longer this drags, the more capital stays concentrated in Bitcoin and a few assets that institutions already understand. The rest of the market keeps carrying a regulatory discount because nobody wants to build around rules that may change later.
That is the real risk here.
Not one sudden crash, but months of hesitation, delayed products, and weaker liquidity across the wider crypto market.
If the August window closes without progress, the damage will be less visible than a

I. Core market tone
ETH current price is 1,843. On Saturday, institutional funds exit, and market liquidity shrinks sharply. The price action fully tracks BTC 62,800—65,500, moving in a shrinking range box with no independent trend. Daily highs step down one by one, bullish momentum decays, and price is pressured below the moving averages. Overall, it remains in a weak consolidation structure. This rise in the current cycle is only a technical rebound after the drop, and it has not formed a trend r

$DEXE is preparing to test it.
Right now, the support looks quite stable. After the bulls catch their breath, they may be building up for the next leg higher. Watch for an entry in the 35.57 to 36.19 range. For the upside, the first targets to watch are around 37.38 to 38.58.
But be mindful of the risks: if the 36.00 support fails to hold, it may retrace deeply to 35.50. You can set the defensive level at 34.50. You can also keep an eye on the movements of $SOXL and $BANK .
As usual, don’t get carried away and go all-in—control your position size according to your account.

#广场预测世界杯赢40000U Battle for the Bronze Medal, a Centuries-Old Grudge: 2026 World Cup England vs. France Third-Place Preview
At 5:00 a.m. on July 19, 2026 Beijing time, the 2026 USA–Canada–Mexico World Cup third- and fourth-place playoff will kick off at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami—France (Les Bleus) vs. England (The Three Lions). This is a “consolation match” without the heavyweight prize of the Hercules Cup, yet it compresses a century of football animosity, a legendary curtain call, a final duel for the Golden Boot, and a self-redemption story for two generations of big clubs.
1. Two Regrettab

On the road of trading, I prefer trading on the left side. But the lessons written in blood and tears have taught me that going heavy on the left is no different from walking a tightrope. Even if, every now and then, you correctly catch a chance to get rich, it’s definitely not a sustainable plan. The real way to survive is to “keep the left-side position light.” Set your stop-loss, and use a very small risk to go after a high risk-reward trade—your mindset will naturally stay steady. Every day, you only need to patiently wait for the position and place one or two trades. Trading is supposed t
