8.18 ETH Market Analysis from 1 a.m. to 10 a.m.
⚠️Technical market review only; this does not constitute trading advice
In the early hours, ETH followed BTC in maintaining range-bound volatility, with bulls and bears pulling back and forth. It briefly pushed upward and reached a high of 1918. Although this rebound appeared strong, bullish momentum failed to continue after the surge. After touching resistance at the highs, the price quickly fell back, while the upper Bollinger Band also turned downward, forming a typical bullish trap and spike.
After the surge, buying quickly weakened, while se

Yesterday, the hertzflow project by a Chinese crypto bigwig went live on mainnet and opened pre-deposits.
Many veteran OGs in the Chinese-speaking community are helping promote it, full of networking and personal favors, but favors cannot be exchanged for money—12 hours have passed, and only a little over $1 million has been deposited.
A Chinese-led project + promotion by Chinese KOLs + deposits: in the current market, this combination is very difficult to pull off.
I don’t quite understand why the word “merit” was chosen. The word “merit” was originally positive, but it now often appears in s

#Japan5YearYieldHitsRecordHigh
Japan’s bond market is sending a major macroeconomic signal as the 5-year Japanese Government Bond yield reaches a fresh record high, showing just how dramatically the country’s interest-rate environment has changed. The 5-year JGB yield reached around 2.19% in August 2026, its highest level on record, while it remained close to that peak on August 18.
This is not simply a technical move in the bond market.
It is another indication that investors are reassessing Japan’s monetary policy, inflation outlook, currency risks, government borrowing costs, and the futur

On Monday, gold held firm at elevated levels, churning between 4380-4420 all day and closing at 4415, reclaiming the previous day’s upper wick. Short-term moving averages continued to rise slowly with price, and bulls remained in control. However, sideways strength near the previous high is essentially using time rather than price to digest profit-taking; the longer price stays sideways here, the heavier the overhead pressure becomes. Today, watch the 4460-4490 heavy-resistance zone, an extension of the selling pressure above the previous high of 4450. A first test could easily trigger a pullb

【$GPS Signal】Long + Order Book Imbalance and Short Squeeze Expectations
$GPS Order book Bid/Ask Ratio 1.40, with the bid depth at the best bid clearly suppressing the sell-side depth. 1H MACD is becoming more negative, while the price remains above EMA20, and the downtrend has not been confirmed by volume. The 4H MACD histogram has contracted continuously, indicating a slowdown in the bulls’ upward momentum. Funding rate -0.0155%, with shorts continuing to pay funding, while OI remains stable. The short-term bulls and bears are locked in confrontation, and the window for a major move is narrow

#SKHynixSurgesOver8%
#SKHynixAI THE 8% SURGE BEHIND THE AI MEMORY BOOM
THE MARKET JUST SENT A MESSAGE
SK Hynix has become one of the clearest market signals for the AI infrastructure boom. The South Korean memory-chip giant surged more than 8% in a single session, extending an extraordinary 2026 rally and reinforcing a powerful thesis: high-bandwidth memory (HBM) has become one of the most strategically important bottlenecks in the global AI buildout.
THREE FORCES ARE DRIVING THE RALLY
The move reflects more than short-term momentum. Three major forces are converging around SK Hynix.
First, A

Broad-based slight pullback in early trading, with some digestion of previous gains 📉
BTC 64,318 -0.33%
ETH 1,907 -0.34%
SOL 75.87 -0.2%
SNDK 1,797 -0.45% (normal digestion after a 3% surge on Monday)
Nasdaq futures -0.03%, moving sideways
Absolute price levels are still above Monday’s levels, making this look more like profit-taking than a trend reversal. External signals are still lacking, so rhythm is more important than direction.

Japan may be the most easily overlooked landmine for Bitcoin next😲
Japan’s 2-year and 5-year government bond yields have just hit 31-year highs, while the 10-year yield is approaching 3%, its highest level in roughly 30 years. Meanwhile, Japan’s second-quarter annualized GDP growth was only 1.1%, well below expectations.
The most troublesome part is this: the economy is already cooling, but the yen remains weak and imported inflationary pressures persist, meaning the Bank of Japan may have no choice but to continue raising rates. The market is now betting on more than just “another 25bp” — it

I’ve been providing BTC / HYPE liquidity for over a year!

#Anthropic年化营收突破650亿美元 Growth far outpacing OpenAI, Anthropic's annualized revenue reaches $65 billion
Anthropic's revenue is not only maintaining historically high growth, but its growth rate is accelerating further. Bloomberg reported on Monday that the AI model developer's annualized revenue as of the end of July—the full-year revenue estimate extrapolated from recent short-term performance—had exceeded $65 billion. The figure was $47 billion in May and only $9 billion at the end of last year.
The Financial Times reported that the company's investors expect Anthropic to maintain a similar g
