BTC short-term holders (holding for no more than 155 days) have been recording losses for about nine consecutive months, which is a typical sign of a bear market. The cost basis for short-term holders is about $68,800, and they still face pressure. As Bitcoin tries to hold above $65,000, this group is expected to be realizing losses of about 4%.

The market is clearly diverging. In the early stage, $DEXE experienced a round of sustained pull-ups, and a large pile of short-term profit-taking orders accumulated.
After the price surged, incremental capital struggled to keep following in a sustained way. Sell pressure kept being released from above, and the long side’s ability to absorb buy pressure continued to weaken. After the upward move reached the 2.162 resistance area, the rise stalled, and signals of a potential trend reversal gradually became evident.
In the key resistance zone around 2.162, place a 20x short order to bet on the

Oil prices are charging toward $100, and the real pressure isn’t just on gas stations—it’s on global risk assets.
The market’s key variable has recently shifted from corporate earnings back to geopolitics.
As the situation in the Middle East continues to escalate, markets have begun re-pricing the risk to crude oil supply. Recently, Brent crude briefly reclaimed the area around $100, and WTI has also held above $90. Concerns that key shipping corridors such as the Red Sea and the Strait of Hormuz could be affected have driven energy supply risk premia sharply higher.

I was looking at @fundedsquad's latest offer.
I can get 2x $100K Instant Funding accounts for around $1,200-1,300.
That works out to roughly $600 per account.
I normally risk $300-500 per trade on my own capital.
So instead of risking my personal account, I can treat one funded account as just 1-2 stop losses.
If the trade works, the upside is significantly larger.
That's how I'm looking at prop firms now.
You don't have to use the same numbers, but the idea stays the same:

After the second reset to zero, I could only try my hardest to study. One late night, while mindlessly scrolling through videos, my impulse kicked in—I bought a copy of the stock classic “A Trader’s Memoir.” But then I instantly canceled the order, thinking that spending $10 on a book wasn’t worth it and I’d be better off keeping the money in my account. I figured that watching pirated materials or videos online would save money. Today, while sweeping, I found out I already had a copy: it was quietly lying under the bed, covered in dust. $BTC ‌

Is this really a rebound? This is cardiopulmonary resuscitation for my short account. A few days ago before bed, I was still hesitating. This morning when I checked the chart, $RENDER has already turned the key level at the highs into a continuous pullback.
Back then, I saw that the surge had no volume, and the sell orders kept pressing down layer by layer. I judged that there wasn’t enough support, so I casually suggested a short idea and set the reference entry price at 2.0071. It wasn’t about guessing the exact key level—it was about waiting for it to burn through the rebound’s momentum.

Event Contracts Launch, Understanding a New Era of Market Participation
Introduction
Financial markets continue to evolve as technology creates new ways for people to participate in trading and investing. One of the latest developments attracting attention is the launch of Event Contracts. Rather than focusing only on the long-term value of stocks, cryptocurrencies, commodities, or currencies, event contracts allow participants to express a view on whether a specific event will happen before a defined deadline. This represents a different approach to market participation

#decentralization Decentralization: The Foundation of Digital Trust
Decentralization is reshaping how value, data, and financial systems operate by reducing dependence on a single controlling authority. Instead of trusting one institution, blockchain networks distribute verification across thousands of independent participants, improving transparency, resilience, and censorship resistance.
For crypto users, decentralization is more than a technical concept—it empowers individuals with greater ownership of digital assets and gives communities a stronger voice in network governance. As Layer-2 s

My thoughts drift back to the past—back then, compared with now, all these hardships don’t seem like anything. Believe in every decision I make…

$ETH ETH still has a rebound need for now, and the area around 1905 above is a key resistance zone. In the short term, if it keeps rising to this level, the cost-effectiveness of chasing longs is already not high; instead, you can consider building short positions in batches.
Around 1905, the trapped-longs from earlier and sell pressure will both increase. The main players may raise the price more to lure chase-long capital into the market. If it pushes into the resistance level and you see weakening volume, a long upper wick, or a failed breakout, you can open shorts in batches and wait for a

【$ESPORTS Signal】4H momentum continues; 1H breakout in testing
$ESPORTS RSI 1H has surged to 73.77, and the 4H MACD histogram is still expanding. The Bollinger Band 1H upper band is 0.0456; the current price still has room to move up from there. Bid depth is 0.99 and is basically balanced with ask depth, but a negative depth spread of -0.52% suggests slightly more dense sell-side liquidity. For two consecutive hours, trading volume has stayed high, and the bulls have not backed down.

Right now, the entire AI storage sector is rebounding without volume; fees are very

there’s still another wave of downside selling, before there can be a big rebound!

$BTC Oil prices rise again, putting pressure on inflation pricing
International oil prices once again broke upward, with geopolitical premiums continuing to be added. The market is now repricing upside inflation risks. The easing expectations triggered by the June CPI cooling faded quickly. The core issue is clear: this round of inflation decline benefited largely from falling energy prices; now crude oil has kept strengthening and will push prices higher in reverse across multiple chains—fuel, logistics, and chemicals—slowing the pace of the inflation decline.
Asset-pricing logic is being re
