$BTC Last night’s session call:
BTC: Entered a short near 79284, around the overnight high; it fell to around 76950 at the low, for a maximum profit of approximately 2350 points.
ETH: Entered a short near 2508.3; it fell to around 2385 at the low, for a maximum profit of approximately 125 points.
Another two consecutive profitable trades during last night’s session.

August 28 MES Review Exercise

Another 20% today. Done for the day, watching the US session open.

ETH is completely moving according to our plan. After breaking above the resistance line, it failed to hold, so we directly opened a short position at this level.
ETH can now have its stop loss set at breakeven. The market is currently moving sideways, transitioning from a bullish pattern to a sideways pattern. It is now ranging between 2400-2540, so we can simply continue holding our short position.
After multiple failed attempts to break through, selling pressure at this level is substantial, and the bulls’ strength has been nearly exhausted. Our current short position is also profitable. Se

#USVenezuelaOilDeal
THE US-VENEZUELA OIL DEAL: WHY OIL, INFLATION, BTC AND CRYPTO COULD ALL REACT
The reported US-Venezuela oil arrangement has become one of the most important energy-market stories of the final week of August 2026 because it comes at a time when crude prices are already carrying a major geopolitical premium. The central question for traders is not simply whether Venezuela has enormous oil reserves, but how quickly those reserves can translate into actual barrels reaching global markets. Venezuela is currently producing roughly 1.25 million barrels per day, while the initial

8.31, Monday, SanDisk, Afternoon View

Good afternoon, everyone!
Let's take a look at SanDisk. The stock quickly dipped in early trading, throwing many people off pace amid the short-term decline.
After a sharp rally earlier, the price action quickly pulled back, reflecting short-term profit-taking and a correction in line with the memory sector, rather than a complete reversal of the overall trend.

From the price action, the stock quickly rebounded and entered a recovery phase after bottoming out, with strong buying support below. The broader bullish trend remains intact. KDJ has now forme

🚨 $BTC AGAIN?
Michael Saylor just said “We’re Back” alongside Strategy’s Bitcoin holdings tracker — and traders are now betting the company could be preparing for another $BTC purchase.
Here’s what has the market watching:
• 96% Polymarket odds of a new purchase
• $6.69B in cash reserves
• 840,447 BTC held
• $63.36B total cost basis
• ~$2.8B unrealized profit
Saylor’s Sunday posts have often come before Strategy announces Bitcoin purchases, sending prediction-market odds from ~18% to 96% this time.
Nothing is confirmed yet.
$BTC is around $78,719, above Strategy’s average purchase price.

I think the general biggest mistake on CT is thinking the top was on Oct 6th 2025.
Impulse ended in Dec 2025 and we've been in a corrective period for 1,5 years. Just because Bitcoin made a new high doesn't mean it was not already in a correction.
I personally would also not label past period as a bear market in a traditional sense, because we have ways to go before a real bear market comes. The party is just getting started on bitcoin:native and solana:A2C5f6oYH2ipGb1mQTRDrUvKtNYtS6jnyaeXDXaZYpj7

‍$BTC Yesterday, the rally that had just begun was directly knocked down by the impact of the U.S. military’s nighttime attack on the strait.🔥🔥
With the U.S. pulling this move, the geopolitical conflict will likely be even harder to ease in the short term, with a greater probability of further escalation. Short-term trading strategies need to change accordingly—focus on shorting rebounds first.

This profit has me feeling deeply uneasy, afraid the market will come to its senses tomorrow and blacklist me. When the price plunged intraday, I initially wanted to wait a little longer, but after seeing that volume failed to follow while sell pressure remained strong, I knew the bears were still around. Those who got on board should all be waking up laughing.
Entry price: 0.05841, now 0.05671, +207.72%—the wait was not in vain. This is the rhythm I wanted, not one handed to me by the market. Don’t let profits inflate your ego, and don’t despair over pullbacks.
