There are two hurdles in trading—if you get past them, you can succeed too.
On the road of trading, there are two very difficult hurdles to overcome. Only after clearing both can you truly enter the trading profession.
The first hurdle is knowing when to stay out of the market.
Calmly and patiently wait for high-probability opportunities instead of entering trades blindly and frequently. Achieving this only means you are just getting started.
The second hurdle is knowing how to hold positions.
When holding a position, maintain your composure and exit only after a clear signal to leave. Only th

On August 16, 2026, Ethereum (ETH) is in an extremely compressed consolidation pattern, with the price fluctuating narrowly around $1,880. The market broadly believes a major move is approaching.

$BTC : The move from the last swing low is corrective and weak. Price also failed to break above the descending trendline.
Let's see if price can hold above $62,223 to keep the white roadmap intact. A break below this level would suggest that the orange roadmap is taking the lead.

$BTC is still sitting around $63K.
But the bigger issue isn't the price.
Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded around $385M in weekly outflows, while BTC continues to struggle to reclaim $64K.
Then you have the CLARITY Act pushed into September and the SEC delaying its crypto rules meeting.
Right now, there isn't much forcing buyers to chase higher.
$64K remains the level I want to see reclaimed.
Until then, patience.

Looking at the 1-day chart, the price collapsed from a late-June high of approximately 2303 dollars down to a deep low near 938 dollars on July 31, a brutal 59 percent drawdown that purged most leveraged longs and reset positioning completely.

It highlights one of the strongest growth periods in Gate's recent expansion, with the platform recording major gains across derivatives trading, user activity, product participation and overall market presence.

Web3 was promised as a trustless revolution, yet billions of dollars continue to vanish through preventable exploits, transforming the narrative from decentralized utopia to a high-stakes risk management challenge.

The era of "move fast and break things" has ended. In the current landscape, security is the product, and resilien

TETHER RESERVES EXCEED LIABILITIES BY $6.8B
Tether’s reserve position became a major talking point after its September 30, 2025 financial figures showed that assets backing its issued tokens exceeded liabilities by approximately $6.78 billion. The figure is significant because the reserve buffer represents an additional layer of assets beyond the liabilities associated with Tether’s issued digital tokens.
The $6.8 billion figure should be understood in the context of Tether’s overall balance sheet rather than viewed as a standalone number. At September

$BTC ‌
Bitcoin is once again approaching a critical decision point, and today’s market structure is giving traders something important to watch: early signs of a possible trend reversal are beginning to emerge, but the reversal is still not confirmed.
BTC is currently trading around the $62,900–$63,000 area, with the latest intraday range showing roughly $62,891–$63,112. The key question now is whether Bitcoin can turn this stabilization into a genuine higher-low structure and reclaim the resistance levels that previously rejected buyers.
