Happy new month

Gold rebounded from 4400 yesterday and came under pressure after reaching around 4468 at the overnight high. Our recommendation yesterday to go long near 4400 generally met expectations, and the price has now come under pressure and pulled back!
From the current market structure, the daily chart shows a clear pullback after a surge and retreat. The price continued moving downward after breaking below the upper Bollinger Band, with bearish momentum fully released. KDJ is moving in the lower range, and the pace of the short-term decline has slowed, creating a need for an oversold rebound and cor

$ONG Funding rate: -0.32%, negative across multiple platforms. Shorts are paying longs, and many people see this number and immediately treat it as a precursor to a short squeeze. But a negative funding rate is not a signal on its own; it only becomes meaningful when considered in context.
The two scenarios are completely opposite. First: after moving sideways, price breaks out on increased volume while the funding rate turns negative. In this case, shorts are on the wrong side; price has already confirmed a strengthening trend, yet they are still shorting, so they will soon be squeezed out.

A few days ago, I was still calculating whether I had enough money for instant noodles this month; this morning, I was already wondering whether to add sausage. The contrast came too fast, like I had a beautiful dream, but the numbers in my account reminded me that this time it’s real, brothers. 🍜
I opened the charts this morning and saw $HEMI hold after its pullback. Buying pressure was clearly more aggressive than a few days ago, and I knew right then that this move wasn’t a fakeout—it was real capital entering the market. Those still hesitating will probably be kicking themselves again. 🍗

JUST IN: Injective mainnet outage led to ~4.88M in attacker profits, with ~3h42m of halted blocks and an emergency patch deployed. If attackers continued to exploit insurance funds and binary options, on-chain risk signals could rise for related DeFi liquidity. $INJ

What is most frightening and grueling right now is not getting the direction wrong, but being repeatedly drained by the volatility.
BTC’s price action recently has been most painful not because of major rallies or plunges, but because of this neither-up-nor-down consolidation.
The market keeps seesawing back and forth, breaking through the resistance above only to be pushed back down, then reclaiming it after retesting support. Every time it appears ready to choose a direction, it ultimately returns to the range, constantly wearing down holders’ patience.
Many traders are now watching the mark

$ZKP – Failing at Resistance, Out
I'm staying far away from ZKP because it is down -13.42% at $0.04528. The price is fighting to stay above the Lower Band (LB at $0.04472) but is failing to reclaim the Middle Band (MB at $0.04524). The 24h low is $0.04464, and MACD is negative. I'm not touching this until it reclaims the MB. For now, I'm completely out.

Ethereum retested the 2400 level yesterday and rebounded, reaching a high of 2490 before dawn. We called for going long near 2400 yesterday, with the overall trend fully under control and 90 points of gains secured!
From the current market structure, after a strong rally on the daily chart, the price has entered a high-level consolidation phase and is holding firmly above the Bollinger middle band. The broader bullish trend remains intact, while resistance exists near the upper Bollinger Band, creating a short-term need to digest profit-taking.
On the 4-hour chart, the highs are gradually movi

$SNDK A wild $100 surge in the final 45 minutes—who was buying??
The most direct trigger for this rally was the effective inclusion in the MSCI Global Index.
After the August 31 close, SanDisk was officially added to the MSCI Global Index.
All passive funds tracking the index had to complete their positions before the close, and concentrated buying in the final minutes sent the market into overdrive.
But that's not all. The AI storage narrative continues to gain momentum.
SanDisk's own high-margin transformation and long-term order agreements are the real foundation—two-thirds of its capacity
