Bitcoin has entered compression again after August’s short squeeze. Bollinger Band width = 4.81%.
In Morning Brief #257, we examine what would confirm a breakout from the range and which levels to watch.

📑 US HOUSE TO TAKE UP 114-PAGE CRYPTO TAX BILL!

Insiders are calling ZEC a trap at 1142 but the data says otherwise.

$ZEC /USDT - LONG

Trade Plan:
Entry: 1137.81 – 1147.13
SL: 1097.74
TP1: 1176.01
TP2: 1198.38
TP3: 1231.92

Why this setup?
Why now? The 4h trend is bullish with a 95 confidence score, and the 1h RSI sits at 44.84, meaning the asset is far from overbought. The 1h ATR of 18.63 shows volatility is compressed, setting up for a sharp move. The entry zone of 1137.81 to 1147.13 aligns with the current 1h price of 1142.47, offering a precise risk-defined opportunity. TP1 at 1176.01 and TP2 at 1198.38 represent logical extension

This crude oil short squeeze is terrifying—it has taken out another big player. Tonghuashun’s renowned retail trader, “New Era Twenty-First-Century Limit-Up King,” began shorting Shanghai crude oil on 9.1 and kept adding to his position as losses mounted. Shanghai crude oil then surged relentlessly despite trading at a premium, and the final 12cm bullish candle still wiped him out, blowing up more than one hundred million in principal and profits. Trading against the trend is truly terrifying.

#GateMeme狂欢季 Let’s talk about Pons—is it still worth watching after the sharp pullback?
The RH chain was indeed overly driven by FOMO some time ago, exhausting a lot of its upside. Moreover, during this rally, many addresses have not yet cashed out, so a short-term turnover-driven shakeout is still unrealistic and will require some time.
But I still believe Pons could grow into an unassailable leading asset in the future.
The Robinhood team is very good at creating and capitalizing on trends; RH now commands enormous traffic, and even the slightest movement will continuously draw more attentio

No conviction, couldn't hold on—the profit on this move was razor-thin, but I loved every second of it. 😜

After lunch, when I checked the charts, $FATCOIN tried to push higher again, but every surge fell just short. Volume didn't pick up, and the sell walls at key levels were frighteningly large. Once I saw that setup, I knew the rebound was definitely over, so I immediately placed a short at 0.00183. I didn't even have time to post it to my friends—just got in first.

Looking again now, the price is already at 0.00106, with a +411.9% return. I timed the move perfectly—feels great. I don't

#AugustCoreCPIBeatsExpectations
August CPI Is Not the Main Story. What Happens After CPI Is.
The August inflation report has given the market another important macro signal, but I do not think the headline CPI number should be viewed in isolation.
The bigger question is what this inflation data does to the Federal Reserve, Treasury yields, the U.S. dollar, liquidity, Bitcoin, Ethereum, altcoins and technology stocks.
That entire chain matters more to me than one monthly inflation print.
August headline CPI increased 0.4% month-over-month and 3.4% year-over-year, while core CPI increased 0.3%

Holding the long position until now was not about guessing the top, but about moving the protection level along the way. $LIT This time, I’m taking 70% off first and continuing to monitor the remaining 30%; 20% is already secured. The entry logic is simple: if the pullback after the breakout holds, treat it as bullish.
4.481 is not far from the key previous-high level, so chasing in could easily get stopped out by a wick. My conditions are clear: if the pullback holds around 4.361, I’ll continue holding the core position; if the candle closes back below it, the original logic is invalidated, a

Guys, putting gold’s performance over the past two years alongside its performance around 2008 does create the impression that it may be about to repeat that period: a sharp rise, then a pullback, followed by a rebound—is the same market move about to happen again?
But I think the most worthwhile question raised by this chart is not how much the next leg could rise, but an easily overlooked one: why would even a safe-haven asset like gold be sold during a crisis?
Because when the market is most starved of cash, everyone’s first priority is to obtain liquidity.
During the 2008 financial crisis,

$XAU Went long on gold at 4500 and got trapped, down $200! Mige: Stop averaging down—4295 isn't the bottom, it's a guillotine!
Guys, those who chased gold long at 4500 and are now trapped—are you staring at 4295 with cold sweat running down your backs? Being nearly $200 underwater is certainly painful. But what's even scarier is that on-chain data has already made the slaughter obvious, and you're still thinking about averaging down?
Look at the whale data chart: the short side holds 127 million, with an average cost of 4347, and is raking in $1.66 million; meanwhile, the long-side whale has a

#晒出我的持仓收益
This is really damn awesome,
• Brent crude oil: around $107–108, WTI: around $102–103
• Core driver of the recent surge: geopolitical conflict in the Middle East
1. Saudi Arabia’s oil pipelines were preventively shut down after an attack;
2. Houthi forces control key islands in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, increasing risks to Red Sea shipping;
3. Security talks on the Strait of Hormuz were postponed, and the market has priced in a risk premium for supply disruptions.
• Technicals: The short-term gain is enormous, RSI is approaching the overbought zone, and longs are crowded. A profit-t
