Bitcoin briefly climbed to $64.5K, reaching its highest level in about a week.
But what caught my attention is not just the price increase.
It’s the combination of a short squeeze + weak spot demand + declining funding rates.
One factor stands out:
⚡ Bitcoin Short Squeeze
As BTC traded around $62.7K, short positioning became increasingly crowded across major derivatives exchanges.
The result?
💥 Short sellers started getting liquidated
📈 BTC price accelerated higher
🔥 Total short liquidations reached 637 BTC on Monday
That was the largest single-day Bitcoin short liquidation tally since July

Being Hubei’s richest man is really not a position anyone can hold securely.
This guy, Ai Luming, dared to go into business with just 2,000 yuan in his pocket, and somehow built it into a 100-billion-yuan business empire—only to end up in a detention center. The Contemporary Group owed 80.6 billion yuan, nearly 4,000 investors lost everything, and 5.7 billion yuan worth of private direct-financing products blew up— even a screenwriter for a business-war movie wouldn’t dare write something this absurd.
The funniest part is that he made his fortune back then by extracting urokinase from urine an

🚨 Pi App Studio pricing will change on August 24, 2026 — here’s the concise version 👇
Currently: creating or editing each app = 0.25 Pi, because Pi heavily subsidizes the actual cost.
Starting August 24: you pay the actual cost of the AI used to build or edit your app. Heavier builds = more, lighter builds = less. ⚙️
💡 But “cheap” isn’t going away:
✅ Built an app using real, unique users (not just yourself)? → You keep the old 0.25 Pi rate.
🛠️ No real users yet? → You pay the cost.
So the question changes from “How many apps have you created?” to “Have you attracted real users who actually

Moutai Meets 20x Leverage: The Liquor Hasn't Been Drunk Yet, but the Heart Is Already Racing
If traditional A-shares are a test of patience, perpetual contracts are more like putting the competition straight into “accelerated mode.” Gate has launched perpetual contracts for 10 A-share stocks, settled in USDT and offering 1x to 20x leverage, enabling both long and short trading.
The selection of these 10 stocks is actually quite interesting: there are consumer and manufacturing leaders such as Kweichow Moutai and Midea Group, energy and power companies such as China Shenhua and Yangtze Power, a

🧠 Plan & Logic
The market remains in a mature strong regime, with the price pulling back toward the nearest invalidation resistance plus a noise buffer. Price action is reacting near an important level, so risk management matters here. The setup depends on confirmation around the entry zone and follow-through after the move.

What Are Stablecoins?
Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies designed to maintain a relatively stable value, usually by tracking assets such as the U.S. dollar. Unlike Bitcoin or many altcoins, their main purpose is not price appreciation but stability and utility.
They make it easier to move value across blockchain networks, trade digital assets, earn on-chain yield, and transfer money globally without relying entirely on traditional banking systems.
Popular stablecoins include USDT and USDC, but their designs and reserve structures can differ significantly.
The bigger idea is simple: stablecoins c

On the daily timeframe, it has formed a double top, and a fall is likely soon, God willing. This is very good for the markets, especially the crypto market.
Upon the breakout and decline, we will see a strong rise

Confirmation of the decline is a break below $8.1.
If it undergoes a correction, God willing, there will be a strong rise 💪 for the currencies, especially.
It should not escape us that USDT dominance is the markets’ number-one enemy. Its rise pos

$ON fell 25.75% in 24 hours, crashing from 0.3962 to 0.2650, with $23.7 million in trading volume. This drop is not a shakeout—it is a liquidation-style exodus. Stay far away; I mean short-term traders should absolutely stay away. Getting involved means handing ammunition to the market makers.
First, look at the chart: it is currently at 0.2782, just 4.8% above the low, and the rebound is as weak as if it had not eaten. The 24-hour high was 0.3962 and the low was 0.2650, for a 33% range. This is a textbook case of “one huge bearish candle, and everyone shows up.” The $23.7 million in trading

DrainerDetective:

It's already down 13%, and you still dare to short? Watch out for an oversold rebound. I think you can wait until it rebounds to the resistance level before entering.
