Many people struggle with whether to trade spot or futures in crypto. Here are my thoughts.
The two are not mutually exclusive; both can be considered, but the choice should depend on your circumstances. The principal of the vast majority of retail traders in crypto is under 100,000 U, while participants with millions in capital are few and far between, and those with more than 5 million are even rarer. Different capital sizes call for completely different trading approaches.
For traders with more than a million in capital, trading spot is more like planting a tree: the goal is not to get rich

#AugustNFPReportComing August NFP Report Coming
The August Nonfarm Payrolls report is due this morning and it is the single most important data point for markets, the Federal Reserve, and anyone running a business right now. We are getting it on the first Friday of September, and after a summer of mixed signals the labor market is where the entire narrative pivots. Inflation has cooled. Growth is slowing but not collapsing. Now the question is whether hiring is also normalizing in an orderly way or if cracks are starting to show.
Heading into the release, consensus is centered around 145,000 t

Bitcoin is trading around $81,167, after pushing up 4.42% in the last 24Hrs
Key levels to watch:
🔴 Resistance: $82,248
A breakout and sustained move above this level could open the door for further upside.
🟢 Support: $80,436
As long as BTC holds this zone, the short-term structure remains constructive.
Bulls have momentum right now, but $82.25K is the level that matters. A clean breakout could confirm that buyers are ready to push higher.

A temporary setback is not the end; wait for the tide to turn and set sail again
Bullish on the market, you went in aggressively, only to get trapped when the market was suddenly slammed down. Many of you probably know this feeling all too well.
$BTC $ETH
The rally you imagined never came, the candlesticks turned downward, and your mindset instantly collapsed.
Remember, don’t act recklessly after a sharp drop:
Don’t panic-sell at the low, but don’t blindly hold on and wait forever to break even either.

#PONSSurges41.9%
🚀 PONS SURGES 41.9% — A MAJOR MOMENTUM MOVE GRABS THE MARKET’S ATTENTION!
PONS is suddenly becoming one of the most interesting names to watch after recording an impressive 41.9% surge. A move of this size naturally attracts traders, but the bigger story is not simply the percentage gain — it is what happens after the breakout that can determine whether the momentum continues or starts cooling down.
🔥 WHY IS THIS MOVE IMPORTANT?
A 41.9% rally shows that buying activity has become significantly stronger in the short term. When an asset moves this aggressively, traders usuall

Nonfarm payrolls: 162k! Nearly three times expectations—did those of you with SanDisk limit orders make a profit?

This nonfarm payrolls data is, bluntly, “looks strong on the surface, but is actually hollow underneath.”
First, the surface: the reported figure was 162k, far higher than the expected 56k and the previous 21k, suggesting that “U.S. employment is doing great.” As soon as the news came out, the dollar surged, while gold, silver, and Bitcoin all took a sharp plunge, with the crypto market especially full of leveraged traders. Within 15 minutes, there will definitely be a wick that wipes out a wave of long positions.
But the problem lies in the details: the previous figure was suddenly revised fr

Was your first trade on Gate the key to wealth—or just an expensive lesson?
If veteran traders were asked to recall their first trade, I imagine the answers would be fascinating.
Some bought BTC, some bought ETH, while others jumped into a coin that is now nearly impossible to find.
The logic at the time may have been just one sentence:
“It’s been pumping pretty hard lately.”
And then they bought in.
The next second, the market started teaching you a lesson.

09.04 Market View | BTC & ETH 1-Hour Timeframe
On the 1-hour timeframe, the short positions placed at the resistance level during the day exited perfectly. After the price surged, it quickly plunged amid a sharp increase in volume. Volume gradually contracted during the rally and was released heavily during the decline. MACD turned downward from a high level, long momentum rapidly weakened, and short-term bears took the upper hand. The price was rejected by the upper Bollinger Band and pulled back, with the market shifting from high-level consolidation to a correction.

🚨🇮🇳 India's central bank is now sitting on the largest dollar short position in its history. $137 billion.
Here's how it got there.
Indian expats poured $127 billion into Indian banks this summer, under a special RBI scheme built specifically to attract that money.
Banks took those dollars and swapped them for rupees with the RBI. That swap is what created the short position.
Total inflows across the scheme hit $136.4 billion. India's largest foreign currency raise ever, by a wide margin.
The immediate effects look great on paper. The rupee jumped to a 2-month high. Reserves hit a record $7

$Lobster surged from 0.0693 to 0.0833 over the past 24 hours, with $31.3 million in trading volume and an 18.4% gain. Don’t rush to call the bull market back—I’ll lay out the data from the first three halving cycles for you, and you can judge for yourself.
After the 2012 halving, BTC bottomed within 40 days, then surged tenfold over the next 150 days. In 2016, it moved sideways for 120 days immediately after the halving, then suddenly took off, gaining 20x over 200 days. The 2020 cycle was the wildest: after the halving, it first dropped 20% to shake out holders, then took 210 days to gain 8x.
