I didn’t do anything—I just went to the restroom, and when I came back, the K-line had already done the work for me. During the intraday bottoming process, $OKB repeatedly retested the support without breaking down. I saw buying pressure gradually strengthening, so I immediately called it and went long. Entered at 96.30, now at 110.4, +356.24%, taking off directly—the timing was spot-on. This profit feels great; staying up late wasn’t in vain, brothers. Take 80% profit first and secure the gains; move the stop-loss on the remaining 20% to the entry price and let the profits run. Don’t lose pat

No big-picture vision, can’t hold on—this wave’s profit is as thin as paper, but I love it. 😏 Before the market had fully started moving, I was already waiting for this level. The rebound during the early-session dump looked fake no matter how I looked at it: low trading volume, insufficient support, and weakness on the way up. Not shorting this kind of market would be a waste.

$CHIP Short entered at 0.04307, now at 0.03866, directly handing me +495.33% in gains. This move was the market feeling generous and casually scattering some gold coins, which happened to land right on my head. 🍗

I. News: Hawkish macro pressure, ETF funds temporarily pause
On the macro front, the hawkish speech by Fed Governor Warsh at Jackson Hole continues to weigh on the market, with expectations for a 25-bp rate hike in September rising from 35% to 60%. The escalation of the U.S.-Iran conflict has brought in some safe-haven funds, but Bitcoin and gold have become temporarily decoupled — gold fell 3.8% on the week, while BTC remains in positive territory.
On the fund-flow front, Bitcoin spot ETFs have recorded net inflows for nine consecutive days, totaling approxima

I’m watching Bitcoin closely this week because $BTC will likely decide where the rest of the market goes. If it can hold its current support and break the next resistance, I think we could see some good moves in $ETH and other altcoins. I’m also watching volume because a move without strong volume can easily turn into a fake breakout. If BTC drops below support, I’d be more careful and wait for the market to settle. Personally, I’m not interested in chasing random pumps. I’d rather wait for a clean setup and confirmation before entering. There could be some interesting opportunities this week,

#SKR
SKR is such a garbage copycat; as long as you don't get greedy and keep your position and leverage very, very low, you'll never get liquidated! It even feels like the big players are just giving us pocket money. 😊

Unexpectedly, Bitcoin is so weak today ahhhhh, aren't we surfing at the highs🏄‍♂️ anymore? I even deliberately stayed out of positions waiting
“Worried”

A few days ago, I was still calculating whether I had enough money for instant noodles this month; this morning, I’m already wondering whether to add sausage. 🍜 When $OPG was just being dumped in the early session, the sell orders were especially aggressive, yet trading volume was shrinking. The further it fell, the fewer buyers there were—this kind of market is the bears’ playground. I went with the trend and opened a short at 0.2056 without hesitation.

The price has now reached 0.0969, locking in +1039.08%. The wait was worth it, and this profit feels great. 😋

As for the trade, close 7

🇻🇳 VIETNAM TIGHTENS CRYPTO RULES FROM SEPTEMBER 1

🔹 Level 4 cybersecurity required
🔹 5 firms cleared initial assessment

BTC is sitting around $77,523 after a sharp rejection from the $79K area. On the 1H chart, price is below the MA5, MA10 and MA30, while the recent bounce has already been sold aggressively.
I’m not chasing the dump I’m watching for a clean retest before making a move. 👀

🚨 Strikes Iran, BTC Dips Geopolitical Tensions Shake Global Markets
The latest escalation between the U.S. and Iran has quickly become a major market story. U.S. forces struck Iranian rocket launchers near the strategically important Strait of Hormuz, while Iran responded with missile attacks toward U.S. positions in Jordan. The renewed exchange of fire has increased concerns about regional stability and the potential for further escalation.
Bitcoin reacted with a sharp move lower as traders shifted toward a more defensive stance. BTC dropped toward the $77,000 area,
