pattern observation on $ETH / $BTC pair

Bitcoin briefly climbed to $64.5K, reaching its highest level in about a week.
But what caught my attention is not just the price increase.
It’s the combination of a short squeeze + weak spot demand + declining funding rates.
One factor stands out:
⚡ Bitcoin Short Squeeze
As BTC traded around $62.7K, short positioning became increasingly crowded across major derivatives exchanges.
The result?
💥 Short sellers started getting liquidated
📈 BTC price accelerated higher
🔥 Total short liquidations reached 637 BTC on Monday
That was the largest single-day Bitcoin short liquidation tally since July

August 18 Gold Evening Review: Gold Plunges 50 Points from Highs! Choppy at Low Levels—Will Bulls or Bears Prevail at 4400?

Gold surged to an intraday high of 4436 during the early session before quickly plunging to an intraday low of 4386 as bears pressed their attack. The market then entered a low-level range, with bulls and bears repeatedly battling. It is currently trading near 4394, showing an overall corrective pattern of rising and then pulling back, with bulls and bears locked in a standoff below the round-number level of 4400 in the short term.

Alas! Navigating the world is like playing chess: before making a move, think three steps ahead; cultivating oneself is like forging steel: when tempering in fire, avoid being overwhelmed by a hundred affairs. Do not flaunt yourself or become restless, like a good merchant who keeps his wealth hidden; do not boast or be conceited, appearing at once profoundly wise and somewhat bewildered. If you can keep your mouth sealed three times over, what need you fear sharp edges from all sides? Leave yourself three parts of leeway, and you will find a broad road stretching ten thousand miles ahead. Alw

$DIA /USDT Perp – "Bullish Recovery – Watch Long"**
**Trading Plan Long $DIA
Entry: 0.1252 – 0.1257
SL: 0.1235
TP1: 0.1269
TP2: 0.1285
DIA is down -13.90% at 0.1257, but holding above EMAs. MACD is turning bullish. TP at the 0.1269 yellow line. SL below 0.1235.

SK Hynix shows a slight bearish divergence on the four-hour chart. After the intraday pullback, it is currently forming a short-term base. Watch the support around 1110. The premarket recovery in U.S. stocks is unlikely to be significant. The fundamentals are very solid; the only issue to consider is leverage. Prefer U.S. brokers when buying the underlying stock.#Gate7天净流入全球Top3

$BAT continues to hold firmly after reclaiming support, showing impressive patience ahead of another potential leg higher. Buyers remain engaged, the structure is healthy, and momentum is quietly building. As sentiment improves across the sector, $MASK is worth keeping firmly on the radar for additional strength.

$AAPL is looking strong premarket and appears to be setting up for another explosive move higher.
After yesterday’s bullish upgrade and $400 price target from Rothschild.
Wouldn’t be shocked to see it fill the gap at $330 before end of week.

Get the rhythm right, and profits will naturally follow—continuous short-term wins! $AIO
After AI0 and ACE showed rebound signals at key levels, we decisively positioned for short-term opportunities, followed the strengthening trend after entry, and locked in profits promptly.
AI0’s two short-term trades netted 720 and 779, respectively, while ACE’s short-term trade secured 831. Although the market moves quickly, as long as the direction is judged correctly and position sizes are managed properly, profit opportunities are always available. #Gate7天净流入全球Top3
