USD1 Contracts Start “Toll-Free,” but the Real Battlefield Is Liquidity
Gate’s launch of zero maker fees for USD1 contracts may appear to reduce trading costs for traders, but looking deeper, it is more like a battle for liquidity.
Why? Because one of the core competitive advantages of a trading platform is market depth. If the bids and asks in an order book are sparse, even a somewhat larger order can instantly push the price around. If the order book is sufficiently deep, orders can be matched more smoothly, naturally resulting in a better user experience.

S&P 500 Surges Past 7800: Has Wall Street’s “Bull” Been Secretly Fed AI Fodder?
The S&P 500 broke above 7800 points for the first time. On the surface, this may look like the breach of a round-number threshold, but in reality it reflects a clear rebound in market risk appetite. On August 13, the index hit a record intraday high of 7816.70 points. Although it pulled back slightly afterward, it remained near its all-time high.
This rally first benefited from inflation data “playing along.” The U.S. July PPI showed virtually no month-on-month growth, significantly below market expectations, easin

After SpaceX’s 40% Surge, the Real Test Has Just Begun: Is $150 the Finish Line or Just Halftime?
SpaceX’s recent stock price rebound has reignited the market’s imagination. From a low of around $104.83 in early August to a recent return to around $140, the stock has gained more than 30% over this period and is drawing increasingly close to the key level around $150
But looking at a slightly longer timeframe, this is still a highly volatile valuation battle.
After SpaceX went public, its stock price surged to around $225 at one point, then fell below the $135 IPO price, bottoming near $105 bef

【$BTC Signal】Bullish continuation + 4H momentum expansion
$BTC RSI 1H 71.02, order book buy-pressure depth imbalance 28.81%, Bid/Ask 1.81. 4H MACD histogram 183.3, bullish momentum expanding; 1H MACD histogram 70.6, slightly contracting. The price is running along the upper Bollinger Band around 64497, while EMA20/50 are intertwined around 63500, with dense support below. Selling pressure emerged around 64400, but buyers quickly absorbed it. The current price is near the upper end of the suggested entry zone, so directly chasing longs offers an average risk-reward ratio; waiting for a pullba

I originally said on last week’s livestream that I expected this week to be bearish, but after looking at the trend on Monday, I felt something was off—Bitcoin was about to start rising. I saw 636, with resistance above at 640-646. It really surged last night and actually reached 646. I didn’t expect it to be that strong. I thought 643 would be enough, but one of my shorts was stopped out at a loss. I opened another short at 64560. I took a small profit and got out—I was too sleepy.
At least this time, I slept until 6 before waking up, not 4.

$PI hasn't updated the blocks for 3 hours, so I conclude that the project team has run off.

$BLESS fell 10.8% over 24 hours, with trading volume shrinking to $10 million, but the order book is filled with small orders in the thousand-coin range—this coin is now a falling knife with no one willing to catch it. I entered at 8.9 this morning and am currently down 9%, but I haven't cut my losses because on-chain monitoring found a whale that had held for three months just transfer in 2 million coins.

Only 200 points left after 7,800? Don’t rush to call for 8,000—the market still has several “roadblocks”
The S&P 500 broke above 7,800 points for the first time, making 8,000 look just one step away. For investors accustomed to trading around round-number levels, this distance is indeed highly tempting. On August 13, the index reached 7,816.70 points intraday, setting a new all-time high; and it took just seven trading days to go from first breaking above 7,700 points on August 4 to surpassing 7,800.
Such a rapid rise shows that market sentiment is clearly tilted toward the bulls.

ETH can continue yesterday’s buy-the-dip strategy, focusing on support in the 1890–1860 range as well as at 1845 and 1805. If support holds at these levels, consider buying the dip, with 30–380 points of upside potential.
