2026.8.19 Daytime Market Analysis
Before the macro market arrives, guard against a surge to resistance followed by a pullback and bearish move. The timing and cycle lean bearish, market policies remain unclear, and the tokenization of US stocks, while not having much impact on futures, will affect spot.

Reviewing yesterday’s public trading plan, continuing to deliver.
Yesterday, a clear short entry was given around 64,500–65,000 for BTC. The market reached as high as 65,057, entering the preset resistance zone precisely, then came under sustained pressure and pulled back. The current low is 64,315.
The levels were laid out in advance, and the market walked in on its own. That is the meaning of trading—not guessing whether prices will rise or fall, but waiting for the levels, waiting for the signals, and waiting for execution.
The August rhythm continues. Steady as we go. $BTC

SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce said the proposal was developed through public comments and staff participation, with feedback from both industry supporters and critics influencing the framework’s design.
