Bitcoin has entered compression again after August’s short squeeze. Bollinger Band width = 4.81%.
In Morning Brief #257, we examine what would confirm a breakout from the range and which levels to watch.

I really didn’t look at Red Fruit last night and went straight to sleep, but after getting up, I’ve been scrolling through Red Fruit nonstop until now😂···
Whether to go long or short is determined by the trading time frame. For a large swing, the outlook will inevitably remain bullish until the midterm elections. There is short-term negative pressure, so there’s nothing wrong with trying to pick the top and profit from a pullback. Or rather, neither going long nor going short is wrong; the current position determines the direction. For intraday trading, if you missed the bottoming l

This week’s FOMC meeting is indeed somewhat unusual. The Federal Reserve will announce its interest-rate decision and economic projections in the early hours of September 17 Beijing time. The market’s pricing for a 25-basis-point rate hike has already risen to around 95%, while institutions including Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan have also shifted toward expecting a hike. The target range may rise to 3.75%—4.00%.
The reason is straightforward: US CPI rose 0.4% month-on-month and 3.4% year-on-year in August, while PPI reached 5.4% year-on-year. With oil prices rising again, inflationary pressure c

Most traders will miss LTC's hidden long setup hiding in plain sight

$LTC /USDT - LONG

Trade Plan:
Entry: 52.4 – 52.6
SL: 51.2
TP1: 53.5
TP2: 54.1
TP3: 55.1

Why this setup?
Why now? The daily trend is still range-bound, meaning LTC has been coiling and a breakout could be imminent. The 15m RSI at 56.32 shows mild bullish momentum without being overbought, leaving room to run. The 1h ATR of 0.411675 tells us volatility is present enough to target meaningful moves from the entry zone around 52.4 to 52.6. TP1 at 53.5 and TP2 at 54.1 offer a clean risk-reward path from the 52.5 reference pri

Everyone is buying $CL /USDT but the 4h trend screams otherwise.

$CL /USDT - SHORT

Trade Plan:
Entry: 98.86 – 99.20
SL: 100.67
TP1: 97.80
TP2: 96.98
TP3: 95.75

Why this setup?


Debate:
Are we hitting TP2 or getting trapped by the range?

$XAU is back inside the key zone I’ve been watching.
This area could be decisive for the next major move. A strong reaction and reclaim would strengthen the bullish case, while a clear rejection and breakdown could shift the structure bearish.
This week also brings major macro events, especially the FOMC decision and Bank of Japan (BOJ) policy update. Any surprise in the USD direction could trigger significant volatility across gold.
For now, I’m watching the reaction from this zone closely rather than forcing a direction.

The cryptocurrency industry is approaching another important regulatory moment as the CLARITY Act moves toward a key vote. For digital assets, this development is more than a political headline. It represents a potentially significant step toward establishing clearer rules for how cryptocurrencies, blockchain networks, exchanges, developers, and other market participants operate within the United States.
For years, regulatory uncertainty has remained one of the biggest challenges facing the digital asset industry. Businesses have often had to op

The 6-12 month and 12-18 month cost lines for $BTC are about to cross.
When the 6–12 month cost line crosses below the 12–18 month cost line, it reflects that the medium-term cost of shares is lower than that of longer-term shares, which is common during the turnover phase of a deep bear market.

EthereumAndBaseSplitOnAccountAbstraction
Ethereum and Base are increasingly taking different approaches to one of the most important infrastructure developments in Web3: account abstraction. While both ecosystems are working toward a more flexible and user-friendly blockchain experience, their strategies highlight an important debate about where account abstraction should live, how much infrastructure should be standardized, and how wallets should evolve beyond traditional externally owned accounts.
Account abstraction aims to make blockchain accoun

Everyone is sleeping on SLX while the 4h setup quietly arms itself.

$SLX /USDT - LONG

Trade Plan:
Entry: 0.06233 – 0.06273
SL: 0.06005
TP1: 0.06439
TP2: 0.06563
TP3: 0.06749

Why this setup?
Why now? The daily trend is range, which means SLX is coiling for a directional break rather than drifting. The 1h ATR of 0.000795 shows volatility is compressed enough to justify a tight entry zone. The 15m RSI at 55.32 confirms neither overbought nor oversold, leaving room for momentum to build. The entry zone between 0.06233 and 0.06273 aligns with the 1h price, giving a precise fill. TP1 at 0.0643

$BNB /USDT - LONG

Trade Plan:
Entry: 715.55 – 717.35
SL: 707.77
TP1: 722.96
TP2: 727.30
TP3: 733.81

Why this setup?
Why now? The daily trend is bullish, the 4h structure is locked in our favor and the 1h ATR of 3.616481 shows momentum is expanding just enough to fuel a move. The 15m RSI at 58.69 proves we are not overbought yet, leaving room for buyers to push past the entry zone of 715.55 to 717.35. The first target at 722.96 is within reach, but the real test comes at TP2 of 727.30 where weak hands will get flushed out. Thi

But 90% of people never make it to the end of this road
Over the years, I’ve seen far too many people get liquidated, leave the market, and walk away battered and bruised. It’s not that they don’t know how—it’s that they keep falling into the same three traps:
The first trap: chasing pumps
The moment a coin starts rising, greed takes over, and all they can think is, “This one is going to the moon.” Then it dumps the moment they buy. Yet when genuine panic selling hits, nobody dares to act. Only those who can turn “reaching out when pri

Gu Jingci: Bitcoin/Ethereum surged before pulling back and falling again
During the pullback after Bitcoin/Ethereum surged in the early hours of last night, we again entered short positions at the current prices of 79200 and 2580, with the idea of adding to the shorts. After surging, the market pulled back and fell, reaching lows of around 77100 and 2476 so far. The overall move was excellent. Congratulations to those who followed the strategy and successfully captured the move. #Gate增速全球第一 #美联储即将公布利率决定 #GateUS全美合规牌照增至37张

I’ve already set aside the funds. I’ll use the rest to play along with you guys for a while, compound the returns, and wait for a better entry before making a move.
