My First Trade Wasn’t Crypto, but Stocks
You might not believe it—but my first trade on Gate wasn’t Bitcoin or Ethereum. It was U.S. stocks.
When I first registered on Gate last year, I only had a basic understanding of cryptocurrency. But I saw that Gate supported U.S. stock trading, including fractional shares, with a minimum purchase of just 0.01 shares. I thought: Why not give it a try? After all, there was no need to open a separate account.
So I used USDT to buy 0.1 shares of Apple. I spent a few dozen dollars and got to experience what it felt like to be an “Apple shareholder.”

Kinda funny, init?
The biggest $BTC long liquidations on 10/10 marked the top.
The biggest short liquidations on 19/08 marked the bottom.
But sure, keep coping. The desperation for lower at this point is laughable.
I was told I was early.
I was told I’d regret buying.
I was told to wait until Q4.
I was told I’d get stopped out.
The key distinction? I listened to absolutely fucking nobody apart from myself.
Never mistake confidence for ego. A trader is naturally going to be confident in their own plan. If I didn’t have conviction in my analysis, why the f would I trade it?
If my confidence bot

A few days ago I was still calculating whether I had enough money for instant noodles this month; this morning I was already wondering whether to add sausage. 😏

A few days ago, $SAHARA looked a little off in the last glance before bed. The rebound in the early morning had pitifully little volume, and there was basically no one buying into it on the way up. I felt a jolt at the time, sensing that something was off with this trend. Sure enough, today it directly handed the shorts a gift. Feels great.

Entered at 0.03226, now at 0.00935, +3424.49%—this round of enduring the wait was not in va

#ETH Last night’s one-way rise caused losses and triggered stop-losses on two trades. Today’s nonfarm payrolls were bearish as expected, and we secured double short positions. The news ultimately returned to technicals. Don’t be afraid of stop-losses—as long as the market is still here, we’ll make it back double. The short position was taken perfectly! The longs around 2430 mentioned in the livestream broke above around 2460. The first take-profit level has now been reached, so protect your profits. Wishing everyone a happy weekend and lots of U earnings. See you in the livestream next Monday

🔥Expectations that the Fed will not raise interest rates collapsed after the jobs report.
⚡️The newly released NFP surprised, with the US economy adding 162,000 jobs, three times the expected 53,000.
- S&P 500 fell 0.2%, Dow fell 0.3%
- 2-year yield hit its highest level since January 2025, while the 10-year rose to 4.80%
- BTC plunged from $82,240 to below $79,200 in a single 5-minute candle
- Gold also lost 2%, falling to $4,383
⚡️The probability of a rate hike at the September FOMC meeting jumped from 49.4% to 58% immediately after the labor data. Yesterday, the figure was 50/50.

Gold’s short-term opportunity today: a downward break below the nonfarm payrolls level.

Draw a Fibonacci retracement of this rally to find a support point.

Price action rarely continues on data-release days, so if gold plunges after the data comes out, look for an opportunity to go long—ideally with a wick to 0.618.

Find the resistance level to close the long; start the Fibonacci retracement from the point where gold began to fall after the nonfarm payrolls release and look for 0.618.

I kept watching the chart; once it found support, I entered 50 lots and exited with a profit.

Do you understand what’s happening right now???
US bond yields are surging and that too without a single rate hike
US 2 year and 5 year yields have hit their highest levels in 20 months
Meanwhile US 10 year yield has reached its highest level in 34 months
Such rapid moves in yields only happen when:
Market is expecting the Fed to hike rates
Inflation is running hot
Investors are worried about a debt crisis
For US all these are true at the same time and if it gets worse every market will feel the heat

The poor fall victim to mortgages, white-collar workers to the stock market, the middle class to wealth management, and the rich to trusts. The most realistic thing about this society is that there is always a financial product precisely designed to exploit your blind spots.
Many money games and schemes in this world are essentially aimed at plundering ordinary people's wealth. Once you see this truth, you must learn to stop in time—don't follow the crowd, don't blindly comply, and don't enter the game lightly.
From the perspective of social psychology, most people suffer from cognitive overco

$MU This is a slaughter without gunfire. Everyone, pay attention—it's about to begin.

I closed $USELESS for $197k
And closed $ETH for $41k
I was on the fence about TPing these because I wanted to keep holding and believe… but I also didn’t expect to be up close to $250k in such a short span of time.
I’ll bid USELESS in the very near future again.
I took ETH because I heard whispers of Trump talking to end the war, obviously it didn’t play out (yet) and instead we got a pop that was unrelated… but I’m very happy with that scalp regardless
And USELESS.. I am a believer in it but $200k is alot of money for me and i would feel stupid not TPing after it happened so quickly

$ZEC is still holding a strong bullish structure after the explosive move from the 800s.
Price is now consolidating below 1,028 resistance. Momentum remains strong, but a clean breakout above 1,028 could open the next leg higher. Losing 980 would weaken the setup and bring 952 into focus.
Entry Zone: 980–995
TP1: 1,028
TP2: 1,060
TP3: 1,100
Stop-Loss: 952
Breakout above 1,028 = momentum continuation.
Rejection + loss of 980 = caution.

No action, no analysis, just sheer luck—this result is embarrassing even to mention🤪 When the screen was glowing green, everyone else was running, but I was watching something else—the rebound volume. Trading volume was pitifully low, while the sell orders were heavy; every pullback looked like it was barely hanging on. The overhead resistance was obvious, so in this situation, shorting was practically free money. I remember clearly: the signal was given at 0.1989, and the current price is 0.1839, with a return of +360.76%. Enough for a good meal😌 The money you make is the realization of you

Four Years in Crypto Taught Me One Thing: The Next Chapter Will Be Bigger Than the Last
When I entered the crypto ecosystem four years ago, I thought the hardest part would be learning how to read charts.
I was wrong.
The real challenge was learning how to understand an industry that never seemed to stop changing.
One month, the market was dominated by a particular narrative. The next month, a completely different technology or sector was attracting attention. Prices could move dramatically, sentiment could change within hours, and developments that once sounded impossible

I hope it's not too late to say GM! 😬

$USELESS 4H Bollinger Band upper band at 0.2587 is capping the price; the 1H MACD histogram has continued to shrink, indicating weakening short-term momentum. The order book buy-side ratio has recovered to 0.54, while the funding rate of 0.0445% remains bullish, as bulls are building strength.

Everyone’s watching gold, but XAUT is silently building a 4h trap—are you long the wrong metal?

$XAUT /USDT - SHORT

Trade Plan:
Entry: 4431.9 – 4443.3
SL: 4492.0
TP1: 4396.8
TP2: 4369.6
TP3: 4328.9

Why this setup?
Why now? The 1D trend is range, not breakout—so the 55% SHORT bias is about fading the pop, not chasing. Price sits at 4437.6 with RSI 15m at 48.6 (neutral, no fuel). ATR 1h is 22.6—tight, so moves are compressed. If 4466 (invalid) holds as resistance, the path of least resistance is down to TP1 4396.8 → TP2 4369.6. The alt scenario flips only if we lose the range floor—but wit
