Ethereum Market Analysis (4-hour timeframe)

Overall, the price remains supported by an upward-sloping ascending trendline, with lows gradually rising. The key support zone marked on the chart is 1872–1883, with strong support at 1822 further below the trendline. Resistance above is at 1930, with the previous high at 1982.
Current trend: The price is expected to consolidate sideways in the 1880–1900 range first, then surge upward again as long as the 1872–1883 support zone holds.
If 1872 is effectively broken and the close falls below the trendline, the bullish structure will fail, leading t

BTC/USDT MARKET UPDATE — BITCOIN HOLDS ABOVE $64K AS MOMENTUM COOLS
Bitcoin is currently trading around $64,116.7 on the BTC/USDT chart shown above, with the market showing a +1.15% 24-hour move. The chart presents an interesting situation: Bitcoin recently pushed toward the $64,630.6 area, but after reaching that local high, price experienced a short-term pullback toward the $64,100 region. This makes the current zone important for understanding whether BTC can regain upward momentum or needs more consolidation before the next major move.

🚨 BITCOIN ETF ALERT: $390M GONE
U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs just recorded $389.7M in net outflows for the Aug. 10–14 week — their largest weekly withdrawal in six weeks.
That’s a sharp reversal after the previous week brought roughly $853.5M of inflows — a swing of more than $1.2B week-over-week.
The key question now isn’t the headline.
Are institutions simply taking a breather, or is risk appetite starting to fade?
With $BTC still hovering around the $63K–$64K area, ETF flows are becoming an important sentiment signal. The next few sessions could tell us whether this is just a temporary rotation

Recently, I’ve seen many people shorting Sandisk and taking heavy losses. Today, U.S. stocks finally plunged—and they really didn’t look back...
Sandisk has 90 billion in long-term orders on hand, plus other orders, giving it at least 100 billion in orders, while its market cap is only a little over 200 billion. How can you short it? In terms of profitability, even if you add up the annual revenue of all the profitable projects in the entire crypto space—DeFi, launchpads, and so on—it still wouldn’t equal Sandisk’s earnings. A company like this is only worth buying when it drops. Never think y

On August 18, 2026, SOL futures continued to trade sideways in the $75-$77 range. Bulls are attempting to launch another upward move, but the $77.50-$78.00 resistance zone has become a key short-term test.
📊 Key Levels in the Long-Short Battle

#LDO LTF Analysis:
$LDO is forming a rising wedge on the 4H timeframe, with $LDO currently trading near the lower boundary of the structure. The repeated rejections around the top of the wedge suggest that upside momentum may be weakening, making this an interesting setup to watch for a short-term reversal.
A clean breakdown below the lower trendline could provide a good scalp short opportunity.|

8.18 Market Analysis
ETH Silk Road reference setup
Entry range: around 1910–1920; Kong
Zhisun: above 1940
First target: 1880; second target: 1850
The one-hour chart is very clear. After previously surging to 1937 and being pushed back down, the price fell to 1852 before rebounding again and has now touched 1908. The short-term moving averages are trending upward, making it look as though the price may continue higher, but selling pressure is very heavy around 1920–1925. Every upward push has produced a long upper wick, clearly showing that the bulls lack follow-through. Most likely, the
