The biggest change this week is that the market has started pricing in rate hikes again.
Previously, the market was pricing in rate cuts, but then came the August nonfarm payrolls report.
August added 162k jobs, far exceeding expectations of 56k, and expectations of a rate hike in September returned to above 60%.
At the same time, the U.S. dollar strengthened again, the Japanese yen also entered the market's focus, and global bond yields generally rose.
This is more worth watching than whether BTC rises or falls.
Because when the market gradually shifts from asking when rate cuts will come to

This profit has me feeling apprehensive, afraid the market will realize what's going on tomorrow and blacklist me. 😂

I kept watching it as it repeatedly oscillated intraday. The rebound looked lively, but every push higher fell just short. That's wanting to but lacking the ability, and the volume didn't follow either. At the time, I called for a short at 52.38, and the logic was crystal clear: if it can't break higher, it naturally has to come down.

Just now, it followed the downtrend to 43.98, with the +393.24% floating profit first locked in mentally. Feeling good, brothers. Those few f

#BTC is sitting in a very important middle ground right now: institutional demand is strong, but macro pressure is keeping buyers from comfortably pushing through $82K.
Current Market Snapshot
Bitcoin is trading around $80,000, with the latest available readings showing roughly +0.5% over 24 hours and about $19.1B in 24-hour spot volume.
The bigger picture is more interesting than the small daily move. BTC rallied sharply from the $77K area earlier this week, reached above $82K, and then pulled back toward $80K. The market is now testing whether that breakout can actually develop into another

$US30 BNB SEASON, ALL GAINERS!
$4 I told you a few days ago that since BNB was still cheap, there was a high likelihood of a rally. That’s why I said it could go up. Here’s the result and it will continue.
$BULLA To be honest, it’s the only coin on the BNB side that I don’t like. I’m not a fan of the team behind it, but BULLA will also rise during a broad market rally.
$B It’s actually special because it was the first memecoin to launch and list on the USD1 pair, but I don’t think the reason for its rise is the network’s overall growth I don’t believe it’s one of the network’s leading coins

JUST IN: Hyperliquid devs moved 433,000 HYPE (~$38.14M) from redemption to multiple addresses, then unstaked and began transferring out ~400k HYPE monthly. If sustained, ongoing staking flow could imply recurring yield-based distribution signals for $HYPE .

There’s never any Monday-morning quarterbacking here at Lao Xu’s—only the delightful rhythm of “positioning on Sunday and taking profits on Monday.”
Don’t be greedy, don’t hold through losses; once it hits the target, get out—that’s what true comfort feels like.

#RedBullTradingTourSeason6
Red Bull Trading Tour Season 6 is here, and this time the idea of competitive trading feels closer to a real race than ever.
Trading is often described through charts, indicators, entries, exits, profit and loss. But anyone who has spent enough time in the market knows that successful trading is about much more than finding a good entry. It is about preparation, discipline, timing, risk management, patience and the ability to stay focused when the market suddenly moves against you.
That is what makes the Red Bull Trading Tour Season 6 interesting.

The current market-implied probability of a rate hike in September is 58.6%.
But personally, I lean toward the Fed ultimately not raising rates in September.
The reason is simple.
Although August nonfarm payrolls far exceeded expectations, strong employment data does not necessarily mean inflation will spiral out of control again.
What will truly determine the Fed's September decision is still the PPI and CPI data.
If inflation continues to cool in the coming months, the current 58.6% rate-hike expectation could very likely be revised downward by the market.
For Bitcoin, this is the key point.

Everyone’s staring at gold—but silver just flashed a quiet sell signal that could catch the crowd off guard.

$XAG /USDT - SHORT

Trade Plan:
Entry: 66.19 – 66.25
SL: 66.48
TP1: 66.02
TP2: 65.89
TP3: 65.69

Why this setup?
- $XAG /USDT is pinned at 66.22 with a 4h SHORT bias (55% confidence), yet the 1D trend is range—so this isn’t a breakout, it’s a squeeze.
- RSI on the 15m sits at 51.38—neutral, meaning the next push down to TP1 (66.02) won’t be overbought resistance, just pure gravity.
- ATR on 1h (0.11) is tight—when volatility this low finally breaks, the move to TP3 (65.69) often

Everyone’s staring at the 1H chart, but the 4H just whispered a secret about HYPE that 95% of traders missed.

$HYPE /USDT - LONG

Trade Plan:
Entry: 86.997 – 87.447
SL: 85.065
TP1: 88.840
TP2: 89.919
TP3: 91.537

Why this setup?
- 1D trend is bullish, and 4H confidence is at a staggering 95 — this isn’t a coin flip, it’s a freight train.
- RSI (15m) at 48.42 means we’re not overheated; there’s still rocket fuel left before TP1 at 88.84.
- ATR (1h) at 0.899 shows volatility is compressing — the classic setup for a violent expansion upward.
- Why now? Entry zone 86.99–87.44 is the last

9.7 Chuze Gold Morning Analysis
After Friday’s nonfarm payrolls release, gold surged to 4510 before quickly pulling back, with the weekly candle closing as a bearish candle with a long upper shadow. Gold surged and came under pressure before pulling back in early trading, falling all the way from the 4435 high. The current price is near the lower Bollinger Band, while the green bars continue to expand, releasing bearish momentum. Short-term bears have the upper hand, but with prices close to the lower band, short-cycle oversold conditions have emerged, creating a need for a pullback correction

Last week’s spot ETFs for Bitcoin and Ethereum attracted a combined $1.2 billion. BTC saw about $987 million, while ETH saw about $216 million. The money was clearly skewed toward the leading assets.
The pace was chaotic at first, then synchronized. BTC saw $217 million in inflows on Monday; on Tuesday, it shed $237 million, the only net outflow of the week. On Wednesday, BTC saw $101 million in inflows, while ETH ended its 12-day winning streak with $48 million in outflows. Thursday brought a reversal—BTC posted $731 million in a single day, its largest inflow since mid-January; ETH simultane

I originally just wanted to see whether it would fall, but it went straight into a free fall 😏 A few afternoons ago, $TRUMP was still putting on a fake rebound. I watched for a few minutes and my heart sank. Volume failed to follow through; every push upward was just short of enough, while sell orders above were pressing it down firmly. Isn’t this a classic bull trap? I placed a short order at 2.369 without the slightest hesitation. It’s now at 2.274, and the +287.53% profit is already in the bag. Feels great, brothers. It was truly sluggish at first, but the move is really paying off, and t

The hand that set the stop-loss a few days ago trembled slightly; this morning I realized that act of filial piety was unnecessary😅 Before bed, my last glance at $XAU showed it still stubbornly holding on. That key level was tested repeatedly but never broke through, and my heart sank—the price action felt wrong. I muttered to myself that the rebound was weak, follow-through was insufficient, and the candlesticks looked exactly like empty bluster. Volume failed to keep up; no one was there to catch it on the way up. Wasn't this just bait? I immediately followed with a short at 4510.00, witho
