Michael Saylor said Monday that a Strategy share buyback remains on the table but isn't where the company's attention is right now, with building out its credit business and cash reserves taking clear priority instead.
During a Q&A session on X, Saylor described the company's capital programs as something reviewed "week by week, day by day," and specifically addressed why buybacks aren't the current focus. MSTR isn't trading at a deep discount to net asset value right now, and Saylor indicated that's the real trigger point, if the stock were trading at a very significant discount, that's when

S&P 500 Crosses 7,800 — A New Chapter for
U.S. Equities 🚀📈
The U.S. stock market has reached another major milestone as the S&P 500 breaks above 7,800 for the first time. This move represents more than just a psychological price level — it reflects the powerful momentum that has continued to support major U.S. equities and global risk sentiment.
Crossing 7,800 puts the benchmark index firmly into uncharted territory. For traders, investors, and institutions, the focus now shifts from whether the market can reach a new high to whether it can hold above this lev

📊 What does the CryptoMaxx SMC-SK System indicator say about Bitcoin right now?
Beyond the complexity of SMC terminology, the picture currently painted by the indicator is simple:
During the latest decline, the price swept liquidity below the lows more than once—areas where many traders place their stop-loss orders. After that, the price began stabilizing and building a new structure around the $63,000 area.
🔍 The indicator reads the situation as follows:
- Sweep = Liquidity was swept from below the lows.
- CHoCH = A change occurred in market behavior and structure.
- BOS = A break in the st

$HYPE ‌ ‌$HYPE / $USDT - 4H TECHNICAL OUTLOOK
HYPE is experiencing profit-taking in the peak zone following a strong rally.
Current Status: $58.72 (%+1.61)
24H High: $59.91 | 24H Low: $57.09
Technical Structure:
The trend is clearly UP. The move that began from the $53.75 low on August 10 was crowned with a new high. The price is attempting to hold above MA10 ($58.50). MA30 ($57.35) remains the main trend support.
A dip below MA5 ($59.22) in the short term signals a loss of momentum. While volume increases during the rise, the increase in red volume during the pullback shows that profit-takin

But it also looks like people longed that triangle consolidation, probably on max leverage, and oil looks like it wants to go higher, and last week we talked about how I was bullish on the Gold/SPX ratio...

$XLM ’S RECOVERY STILL HAS SOMETHING TO PROVE.
A strong bounce does not automatically mean the bottom is in.
$XLM remains stuck inside a broad sideways range, while the recovery from the January/February low has so far developed as a 3-wave structure.
From a technical perspective, that is important.
A sustainable bullish reversal usually needs stronger confirmation through price structure, momentum, and the ability to reclaim key resistance levels. So far, $XLM has not delivered enough evidence to confidently call this a lasting bottom.

#VitalikProposesNewEthereumScalingPath Vitalik Proposes New Ethereum
Vitalik Buterin is proposing a redesign of Ethereum aimed at making the network leaner, more scalable, and easier to verify. His “Lean Ethereum” ideas focus on reducing the amount of state validators must store and process. One proposal would move more state management toward validators while using zero-knowledge proofs, including a daily ZK-STARK proof, to verify large amounts of activity efficiently. Buterin has also backed a Bitcoin-inspired UTXO-style approach for simple payments, potentially reducing Ethereum’s storage b

$XTIUSD Oil Market Dynamics in the Strait of Hormuz: Decline in Ship Traffic and its Impact on Prices
WTI crude oil futures closed the day at $84.50 per barrel, with market focus on the significant drop in ship traffic in the Strait of Hormuz and the deadlock in US-Iran talks. According to Kpler's ship tracking data, the number of commercial vessels passing through the strait has fallen from thirty-one to just five in a week. The US Energy Information Administration's second-quarter report shows that the volume of crude oil and liquid fuel passing through the strait has fallen to an average

$AWE That lower wick half an hour ago was put in by me personally. I know better than anyone how many stop-loss orders were placed at 0.0564—all from retail traders who chased longs at 0.060, and now they’ve been wiped out completely. Look at the 24-hour trading volume of 2.8M; the volume has shrunk like a stillborn market, but this is exactly the kind of market makers love: chips are highly concentrated, so they don’t need to spend many bullets to push it up.
I built my initial position in batches last night, at an average price of 0.0592. It’s not that I’m bullish; it’s that this level can n

#S&P500Breaks7800ForFirstTime S&P 500 Breaks 7,800 for the First Time
The S&P 500 made history in August 2026 by briefly moving above 7,800 for the first time, extending its powerful record-setting rally. On August 13, the index reached a new intraday record and closed at 7,798.99, just below the milestone.
The rally has been supported by cooling U.S. inflation, which reduced concerns about additional Federal Reserve rate hikes. July’s Producer Price Index was unchanged from the previous month, while consumer inflation also showed signs of easing. Lower Treasury yields and expectations for st

$$ACU 24h range 30%, with $12.7 million in trading volume—something is off with the volume. I entered a long at 0.125, currently up 3% unrealized, with a 20% position.
The plan is simple: add another 10% around the current price of 0.1288, with the stop-loss uniformly set at 0.1190. A break below that means it’s a bull trap. First target: 0.1350; halve the position there, and hold the rest for 0.1450.
Two possible scenarios: either it breaks above 0.1300 on heavy volume and accelerates, in which case don’t hesitate before 0.1350; or it spikes and pulls back on declining volume, with 0.1230 as

Technical Outlook: BTC Consolidates Near Support as Bulls Attempt to Stabilize
Bitcoin is trading around $64,335, consolidating after the sharp rejection from the $69,000–$70,000 region. Price has recovered from the June–July lows, but BTC remains below the 100 EMA and 200 EMA, keeping the broader structure cautious.
The current setup shows short-term stabilization, with buyers defending the $64,300 area. However, BTC needs to reclaim several resistance levels before a stronger recovery can develop.
