Open Core DAO’s official X account, and its recent posts have been highly consistent, continuously sending stable signals to the public:
The v1.0.26 hard fork was successfully activated on September 3; the network continues producing blocks and the chain is operating normally; the source of the August 31 rewards vulnerability has been sealed

🇯🇵 JAPAN’S NEW MARKET EQUATION: RATES ARE RISING, BUT AI INVESTMENT IS RISING TOO
Japan’s stock market is entering a very different phase from the ultra-low-interest-rate era.
The Bank of Japan has now raised its policy rate to 1.25%, its highest level since 1995. Yet instead of triggering an immediate equity selloff, the Nikkei 225 climbed 1.38% on Sep 18 to close at 65,018.95.
That reaction tells us something important: Japan’s equity story is no longer being driven by monetary policy alone.
The market is now balancing four major forces — BOJ tightening

GATE TRENCHES IS REDUCING THE FRICTION OF ON-CHAIN TRADING
Crypto infrastructure is moving toward a more connected model, and Gate Trenches is an interesting example of how that transition is taking shape.
For many users, the biggest challenge with on-chain trading is not finding an asset. It is everything that comes before the trade: choosing the correct network, preparing the required gas token, connecting the right wallet, transferring funds and understanding the transaction costs.
Gate Trenches is designed to simplify that journey.

$XRP
1.392 These blood-soaked chips have piled up into a grave mound, while the old L1 chain is pretending to be dead and nobody cares 😏. The longs are stubbornly gnawing at the steel plate at 1.428; shorts want to dump the market? The volume doesn’t add up at all—just pure head donations. The current price of 1.414 is right in the middle of the meat grinder; if it can’t hold, it’ll get dumped straight to the ICU, while a bounce means a rocket launch 🚀. By the time you figure it out, the meat will already have been completely devoured!

#BTCMakro Investor Jordi Visser discussed the future of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies during his latest appearance.
Jordi Visser pointed to a significant change in his views on Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency market, saying that the convergence of artificial intelligence and crypto infrastructure could pave the way for a new period of growth for the industry.
Previously known for his more cautious approach to the markets, Visser was described on the program as having “gone from always bearish to always bullish,” while he stated that the transition of crypto from speculation to real-world u

Many people chase in after seeing a huge 24-hour surge, only to buy at the upper Bollinger Band and get stopped out by a pullback bearish candle—the problem is not the direction, but the failure to use moving averages to determine whether the trend is healthy. Take $ONE as an example: the current price is 0.004595, MA5=0.0045556 has risen above MA20=0.00319815, and both lines are opening upward. This is the standard pattern of a trend beginning, rather than a rebound; the MACD histogram at +0.0001709 remains bullish, indicating that momentum has not weakened.
However, note two points: RSI=77.

On the 15m chart, the price is stabilizing above MA25, indicating a positive recovery after being rejected near 0.1707 recently. RSI(6) is 68.21, and MA7 has crossed back above MA25; this structure favors a retest of the 24-hour high. Buy $FARTCOI on the pullback! 📈

The current directional structure supports a potential long setup. Entry zone: 0.03624–0.03677 Stop-loss: 0.0331 Targets: TP1 0.0412 (1.38R) / TP2 0.04234 (1.71R) / TP3 0.04348 (2.04R) Partial take-profit: 50% / 30% / 20% Notes: The price has moved far from the planned entry area and may need to retest it; the expected EV is -0.22R, below the current threshold. Status: Watchlist only—wait for confirmation before considering this setup.

Insiders are quietly pressing SHORT on $SKHYNIX /USDT before the daily range breaks.

$SKHYNIX /USDT - SHORT

Trade Plan:
Entry: 1344.77 – 1347.17
SL: 1357.45
TP1: 1337.36
TP2: 1331.62
TP3: 1323.01

Why this setup?
Why now? The 4h bias is SHORT with 55% confidence, and the 1h price is pinned at 1345.97, right inside the entry zone of 1344.77 to 1347.17. The 15m RSI is 79.37, signaling short-term exhaustion that supports a downside move, while the 1h ATR of 4.784316 shows enough volatility to reach the first target at 1337.36 and the second target at 1331.62. The daily trend is range, so thi

📐 Options Know-How: A Practical Guide to Volatility Surfaces and Term Structures
① Three things to watch on the surface:
At-the-money level (the absolute value of current implied volatility), slope (the smile pattern across different strike prices for the same expiration; watch for asymmetric left-skew and right-skew signals), and term structure (the distribution of levels across different expirations at the same strike price).
② Three patterns for determining direction:
Contango (far-month volatility higher than near-month volatility) → the market expects long-term volatility to expand,

I had already finished complaining to my friends about this week’s market, but now I have to take it all back. A little awkward.

A few days ago, before bed, I looked at $AAOI . Every push higher fell just short, volume didn’t follow, and there was no one to take it higher, so I flagged a short near the top. Held the short from 152.22 to 106.57, with +1444.23% giving the answer directly.

Take 80% off the table first, and leave +1444.20% as a protected cost basis so a rebound doesn’t give the profits back. Panic comes from having no plan; losses come from overthinking.

This move surged from around 2480 all the way to 2672, setting sentiment ablaze,
but it has clearly started to lose steam after the spike.
Now around 2631, the price is stuck below the Bollinger midline at 2638,
with 2652 as the first resistance above and 2672 as strong resistance at the previous high.
I’m not in a rush to chase longs.
2623 is the key defense line. As long as it holds, a pullback looks more like a shakeout,
and only a reclaim of 2638 would create an opportunity to continue toward 2652 or even 2672.
But if 2623 breaks on heavy volume, don’t stubbornly hold on; focus on 2610 and

What do you think of the bear market for coin $ZEC ..?
Technical analysis accounts were saying not to buy it, that it would form a new bottom
The coin has risen 9700%.. 97x from the bottom
Not necessarily will all altcoins do the same .. exceptional cases
Can the one who stopped you from buying and said it would form a bottom come out and apologize?
Or will they just delete the tweet 😹

$XAU /USDT is about to break range and nobody sees it coming

$XAU /USDT - SHORT

Trade Plan:
Entry: 4380.64 – 4382.54
SL: 4389.22
TP1: 4375.86
TP2: 4372.05
TP3: 4366.32

Why this setup?
Why now? The daily trend is range bound, but the 1h price is sitting at 4381.59 with a 15m RSI of 46.84, meaning short sellers are regaining control just below the midpoint. The 1h ATR of 3.817198 confirms enough volatility to push from the entry zone at 4381.59 toward TP1 at 4375.86 and then TP2 at 4372.05, where momentum would accelerate. This setup only works if price respects the invalidation level at 4

Up 37.975% with the funding rate still negative: SKL shorts are taking a beating this round
Damn, $SKL pumped 37.975% in one day, with volume reaching 10.052 times the 30-day average—the crazy part is that the funding rate is still negative. I’m bullish here and would buy the dip on a pullback.

First, leverage hasn’t chased it. The funding rate is -0.00066861, with shorts paying to stubbornly hold on; the long-short ratio is 1.9586—a move driven by spot buying.

Second, the technicals have just turned. Daily RSI is 60.6 and not overbought, while the MACD golden cross is expanding its red

Price action doesn’t explain itself; it just moves. Your job is simply not to make random moves.
When I checked the chart after lunch, $CELR ’s buying strengthened and the key level held, so I suggested taking a long position around 0.002049. It’s now at 0.003309, +1513.83%, so the answer is clear—time to enjoy a good meal.
The market cures all kinds of defiance, especially those who think they’re the smartest. Even if you only make one point, as long as you take it with you, it’s yours; no matter how much unrealized profit there is, it belongs to the market.
