The rebound has delivered the expected move!
After the data release, we initially went short, expecting a pullback to 623. The public alert then called for going long to catch the rebound, and the expected move has now played out. Over the next half month or so, short-term price action will grind along slowly. However, momentum should remain relatively strong, with a slight bullish bias.
BTC still favors a mild pullback and a slightly bullish bias. Consider going long around 640, targeting 652.
Gold: The trend remains unchanged. Consider small long positions in the 4390–85 area, targeting 4460

Here's an interesting data point on trading.
From meme coin traders, prediction markets, to derivatives.
Only a fraction of people actually end up in profit.
On one side, trading is real if you can be in the top 1%.
On the other side, most people do too much, only to lose money and get outperformed by the market.
$BTC grows 85% each year CAGR. Yet, people still lose money elsewhere.

Urban consumption can no longer sustain the competitive push, so the country is beginning to direct it toward counties and townships.

May we all grow into the people we most want to be, and let all the past struggles and scars become medals for never having let ourselves down.

stupid take (?)
this CEX/DEX chart doesn't matter at all now
we're in the middle of the most illiquid/quiet part of the bear market
of course retail/whales are AFK
show me this chart when we're in a bull market and I'll be more excited

If the direction is wrong, stop-loss and lock the position immediately, reassess the trend, observe the relative strength of the bulls and bears, and then determine the direction. Cut losses without hesitation and reverse directly into a heavy position. Do not hold against the position!!! #xauusd

8.18 Gold Evening Review
The midday range-bound plan played out perfectly. Gold stayed within the range, with all support and resistance levels matching price action.
Technical analysis: The Bollinger Bands on the 30-minute and 1-hour charts continue to tighten, with gold near the middle band; RSI is neutral, with no clear one-way momentum. Expect continued sideways consolidation tonight as bulls and bears battle repeatedly.
Resistance: 4407, 4420; support: 4386, 4377.
Coco's Recommendation: Treat tonight as range-bound. Buy dips around 4368‑4388, targeting 4405 and 4425. The U.S. session may

XAUUSD appears likely to decline based on the 1-hour time frame. Control leverage and maintain sufficient margin to survive in the XAUUSD market, as it is highly volatile.

THIS IS EXACTLY WHEN BITCOIN BULL RUN STARTS
$BTC BTC/Nasdaq ratio dropped 64% from its 2025 peak, the same dump that happened in 2018 and 2022.
Right now, BTC/Nasdaq is up 15% from its bottom, but this can’t be considered a trend change.
As long as this stays below the 3.0 level, Bitcoin will continue to underperform.
But once BTC/Nasdaq breaks above 3.0, BTC will start to lead the market.
