I was just about to go to the forum and rant, but then I saw my balance and thought, forget it—the market is always right. If I hadn't managed to resist holding a long position this time, my blood pressure would probably look even worse than the candlestick chart.
During the repeated intraday swings, $VVV never quite had enough momentum whenever it tried to move higher. The rebound was weak, clearly suppressed from above. I watched it fail three times to break higher, so I went short one lot with the trend. It was genuinely sluggish, but once it made its move, it was genuinely rewarding.

🇺🇸BREAKING: Meta just agreed to an $18 billion settlement with 48 states over child-safety claims, per WSJ.
As part of the deal, Meta will build new safeguards specifically for users under 18.
One of the largest state-level settlements a tech company has ever agreed to. Worth watching what the actual safeguards look like once details land, that's the part that determines whether this changes anything or just closes the legal case.

ETHEREUM (ETH) MARKET ANALYSIS — $2,457: BREAKOUT OR PULLBACK?
Ethereum is currently around $2,457, and the market is sitting at a very important decision zone. The bigger picture is still constructive because ETH remains well above its recent moving-average structure, but the immediate chart is showing a battle between strong bullish momentum and short-term exhaustion. Recent technical data places ETH around the $2,450–$2,480 area, with major resistance building toward $2,500–$2,550. The daily RSI has also moved into overbought territory, meaning buyers are strong but chasing the price

The News Events That Could Move Crypto Markets This Week
The next few days could be important for crypto traders.
Wednesday, August 26 Core PCE Price Index
The Core PCE data will be one of the key macro releases to watch. It gives the market another signal on the underlying inflation trend and can influence expectations around the Federal Reserve’s next policy decisions.
A hotter-than-expected reading could strengthen the case for tighter policy and put pressure on risk assets. A softer print could have the opposite effect by supporting expectations for a more accommodative Fed.

Beyond the Leaderboard: Why the Elite Trader Championship Redefines Meritocracy in Modern Finance
The financial industry has long operated on a paradox: it claims to be the ultimate meritocracy, yet its gatekeeping mechanisms remain stubbornly traditional. Resumes from target schools, pedigreed internships, and polished interview performances have historically outweighed raw performance data. The Elite Trader Championship disrupts this legacy model not by offering bigger prizes, but by fundamentally altering how trading competence is measured, validated, and valued. This is not merely a compet

#BTCPullbackto79000
Bitcoin is taking a breather after one of its strongest weekly moves in recent months. BTC is trading around $78K today, down roughly 0.8% over 24 hours but still up about 21.5% over the last seven days. That combination matters: the short-term pullback is small compared with the size of the rally, so the market is currently showing consolidation rather than a confirmed reversal.
The price structure has shifted significantly. BTC pushed through the $77K area and briefly traded above $81K, creating a fresh three-month high before sellers appeared around the $80K–$82K region

Bitcoin 12-Hour Chart Analysis (August 26)
Look at the chart:
Bitcoin is forming a textbook inverse head-and-shoulders pattern on the 12-hour timeframe. Regardless of the waterfall-like drop or rally, the pink AB zone marks the neckline areas of the left and right shoulders, roughly in the 80500~81500 range.
When the price reached point A, a chip turnover and shakeout had already occurred near this neckline!
This time, the rally from the bottom to point B along the AB line was likewise met with resistance and triggered chip turnover!
Therefore, the AB line remains a key resistance zone and is

ALTSEASON LOADING?
The altcoin market cap just delivered a major signal.
Altcoins pumped 23% last week, marking one of the strongest weekly moves in months.
More importantly, the market bounced directly from the 1,000-day support zone and has now broken above the long-term descending trendline.
That is a meaningful structural improvement.
But confirmation is still missing.
Altcoins remain heavily influenced by Bitcoin. BTC dominance is still above 60%, meaning capital continues to favour BTC and larger-cap assets.
For a broader and more convincing altseason, BTC dominance likely needs to lose
