Has the bull market really returned? Given the current market conditions, I don’t want to say too much.
Perhaps no one will acknowledge your views at the time until you achieve results.
Don’t forget to wait until Bitcoin reaches $47,000 before suddenly remembering how good I once was. By then, it will be too late.
Only when the tide goes out do you discover who has been swimming naked.
There was nothing wrong with moving south from 7.8 before, so this time, moving south from 6.8 will be no different. Time will prove it.

BTC price: Spot sets the broad trend, while futures amplify short-term volatility

One-sentence summary:
What truly sustains a major bull market is the spot market; futures cannot create a major trend, but they can accelerate surges and crashes, creating sharp short-term moves.

1. Spot market: Determines the medium- to long-term direction (the foundation)

Spot trading involves the actual buying and selling of BTC, with real coins changing hands.

- ETF inflows, whale accumulation, miners holding back sales, and on-chain entities buying are all spot-market activity

Today’s wipeout was brutal.
Crypto just saw the 2nd largest short liquidation event in its history, only behind the Oct 10 crash.
Oct 10, 2025: $2.46B
Aug 19, 2026: $1.74B
That’s a massive amount of short positions getting flushed in a single day.
Just another reminder of how quickly this market can turn when everyone gets crowded on the same side of the trade.

Unitree Robotics: Robotics Is Heating Up — But Can the Valuation Keep Up?
The robotics sector is heating up again, and Unitree Robotics ( $UNITREE ) has quickly become one of the biggest stories in the market.
Unitree's debut on the Shanghai STAR Market was extraordinary. Shares closed around 845 yuan, roughly 460% above the 150.80-yuan IPO price, after briefly surging more than 600%.
For traders, however, the question is no longer whether robotics has a future.
It clearly does.
The bigger question is whether Unitree's valuation has already moved too far ahead of that future.

EU Expands Crypto Sanctions as P2P Platform NoOnes Announces Shutdown
The European Union has expanded crypto sanctions and proposed restrictions on transactions with crypto platforms in third countries that facilitate Russian sanctions evasion . The impact is already being felt at the platform level, with P2P platform NoOnes announcing a gradual shutdown . Meanwhile, the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board has proposed allowing qualifying stablecoins to be classified as cash equivalents, a potential game-changer for institutional adoption .

I’ve already warned everyone about today’s market action. Regarding the previous SanDisk short squeeze, I’m very sorry for misjudging it and counting one extra downward wave.
