8.13 Gold Midday Review
Gold prices continued their pullback from overnight highs during the early session. During the day, prices rose to test the high of 4449.84 before coming under pressure and weakening, then continued to move lower in the afternoon, touching a low of 4391.73. They are currently consolidating around 4398. The profit-taking selling following yesterday’s bullish CPI-driven rally has continued, with the market in a wide-range corrective phase after the sharp rise and intensified battles between bulls and bears.
Technically, the Bollinger Bands are narrowing overall and moving

Ethereum is trading at $228B market cap against $41.22B in TVL.
That’s a 5.5x premium over the capital directly deposited into the chain.
The interesting part isn’t the multiple.
It’s what the multiple is pricing.
Ethereum isn’t valued purely on the capital sitting inside its DeFi protocols.
It’s valued as settlement infrastructure for:
➜ L2s
➜ Stablecoins
➜ RWA issuance
➜ DeFi collateral
➜ Institutional settlement
A large portion of that economic activity doesn’t appear in Ethereum’s mainnet TVL.
So the 5.5x isn’t necessarily an overvaluation.
It’s the market assigning value to security and s

After surging to touch the upper Bollinger Band on the hourly chart, gold is oscillating lower, with prices remaining under pressure below the middle Bollinger Band. Bullish momentum at higher levels is gradually fading, and the short-term market remains weak and range-bound, with continued demand for a pullback.
Key Levels
Resistance: 4415, 4435
Support: 4390, 4365
Strategy:
Go short in the 4405–4415 range, targeting 4390, 4370, and 4360

#InstitutionsSold21.6BNasdaqFuturesInAWeek
Nasdaq Futures: The $21.6 Billion Institutional Short That Nobody Expected
The week ending August 4th, 2026, will go down as one of the most aggressive institutional repositioning events in the history of the Nasdaq futures market. According to Goldman Sachs, hedge funds, asset managers and other institutional investors collectively sold a staggering 21.6 billion dollars worth of Nasdaq futures in a single week, marking the largest weekly liquidation on record. To put this into perspective, this single-week outflow exceeded every prior weekly selloff

🚨 Bitcoin ETFs just recorded a $46.8M net outflow.
After weeks of strong inflows, this is a notable shift but it's not a bearish reversal just yet.
The bigger picture still looks strong:
📊 $52.45B in cumulative net inflows
₿ 651,510 BTC accumulated through spot ETFs
💰 $79.09B in total ETF AUM
Institutional demand is still very much alive.
The key question now is whether this is just a short-term pause or the beginning of a broader trend.
👀 If inflows return while Bitcoin holds key support, that's a bullish signal.
⚠️ If outflows continue and BTC starts losing major support levels, caution

$XPL is back at a level that matters.
Price has returned to a key horizontal support zone where buyers have stepped in multiple times before.
If this area holds, the pullback could turn into another bullish reaction.
Support = decision zone.
Break it = structure changes.

Fed Rate Hike Odds Ease
Markets are now pricing a 40.1% chance of a Fed rate hike in September, down from 48.4% a day earlier, according to CME FedWatch.
That shift suggests traders are becoming less confident about another hike, which could support risk assets if the trend continues.
For crypto, Fed expectations remain a key market driver. 👀

There seem to be quite a few typhoons on the mainland lately
The sky before a typhoon
Always looks like this
We all call them fiery clouds
But they’re truly beautiful
I like skies of that color
Along with the setting sun
Watching the sunset and riding around on my bike.

How To Maintain Your XAUUSD Positions Like A Pro

Trading XAUUSD is not just about finding the right moment to enter a trade; the art lies in maintaining the position after you enter it.

Examine these principles followed by seasoned traders to minimize the possibility of liquidation and unwinding of stop-losses:

Limit your leverage

High leverage can cause a substantial loss if the price of gold moves against you.

Do not risk your whole account on one trade

Set your stop-loss in such a way that a single candlestick movement will not trigger it since gold is a volatile asset tha

The profits of the entire AI industry do not seem to be flowing much into application-layer companies building large models…
Currently, application-layer gross profit accounts for only 7% of the entire industry, while calculated by net profit, it is zero…
This is because the vast majority of profits have been captured by chips and the infrastructure layer…
In the previous internet and cloud computing waves, however, the application layer captured 70% of the profits, while chipmakers took only 6%…
