Today is Monday, August 17, 2026.
There’s not much else to say; I discussed it with everyone in yesterday’s article.
The current market is on the eve of a directional choice amid low volatility. BTC has traded sideways on declining volume near $63,000 for nearly five weeks. Narrowing Bollinger Bands, a subdued ADX, and implied volatility hitting historic lows all point to an imminent market shift. Directionally, the news flow is bearish (geopolitical risks, heavy ETF outflows, and regulatory uncertainty), on-chain data is weak (exchange inflows, fading support walls, and stablecoin outflows),

USD1 futures zero maker fee: Gate is expanding the role of USD1 across its trading ecosystem
Gate’s latest USD1 update is more significant than a simple trading-fee promotion.
Starting August 13, 2026, Gate launched nine new USD1-margined perpetual futures markets and introduced a limited-time fee structure in which eligible VIP 0–VIP 16 users can trade with a 0% maker fee, while the taker fee is reduced to 25% of the original rate. The promotion continues until further notice from Gate.
The nine newly launched markets include BTC/USD1, ETH/USD1, SOL/USD1, XAU/USD1, S

$$SPORTFUN down 14% counts as a crash? This is just breathing—the market makers are giving you chips today, not taking you out. The 0.0224 level is just above the 24h low of 0.0212, while the 17M trading volume shows intense turnover, with panic sellers and dip buyers battling it out—but do you really think retail traders can win? This coin’s 24h range is nearly 28%, clearly showing the main players flushing leveraged positions. Spot holders can just watch the show.
My strategy: take a small position if 0.0220 holds, set the stop-loss at 0.0208, and look to take profit at 0.0255, with the pos

SanDisk Takes the Lead. 63% Increase in Two Weeks Leaves Competitors in the Dust
Memory stocks are still getting attention. SanDisk has gone up 63% in the two weeks creating a big difference compared to Micron and SK Hynix. Related storage needs is still being mentioned as the main reason supporting the whole group. The question is whether SanDisk can keep being the performer after such a fast rise.

Review of the publicly shared outlook from 8.10–8.14
Looking back at the BTC and ETH strategies shared publicly over the past few days, every rebound resistance level was clearly identified in advance.
As the market played out, the pace of the pullback basically matched the previous assessment.
No wild predictions—just honestly reading the charts and looking for opportunities. If you understand it, take action; keeping a steady rhythm is good enough. #USD1合约挂单0手续费 $BTC ‌

$TUT ‌: From Explosive Rally to a High-Volatility Showdown
$TUT is back on the radar after one of the most dramatic moves in the altcoin market recently. The Tutorial token surged more than 1,100% in just two days, briefly reaching an all-time high near $0.29 before experiencing a sharp correction. The move also triggered an extraordinary wave of leveraged trading, with more than $42 million in liquidations reported over a 24-hour period.
What makes $TUT particularly interesting now is that the story has shifted from a simple rally to a battle for stability. After such a massive vertical move
