Bitcoin spent 7 days testing both sides of the same range and never broke either one 🚨
Most people are calling that "nothing happened" this week. I don't think that's true, and I think the reason matters more going into next week than any single day's candle did.
In today's subscriber breakdown I cover:
- Why this week's range wasn't just "chop," and what usually happens after ranges get tested this many times
- The Fed timeline shift most people missed between the early-week data and the late-week data
- Why that timeline lines up with the 4-year cycle projection we covered last night
- The

Brothers, the most annoying part of ETH is coming:
The money is clearly coming in, but the price just won’t move.
On July 17, U.S. ETH spot ETFs saw net inflows of $36.7 million.
And yet ETH is still stuck around $1,840, grinding.
That’s really frustrating.
My view hasn’t changed:
Most likely it will range between $1,800 and $1,870, grinding for 3–5 days first.
In the meantime, it’s not out of the question to briefly spike down near $1,780 and shake out that batch of impatient hands.
As long as $1,750 doesn’t break, there’s still a chance later to try tapping $1,950–$2,000.
But if it really dr

Notice how the 5 min 200MA caught price action?
Yesterday I was talking about the significance of this.
See you all soon. 👍

The yellow 7 min (1st pic) and the 15min (2nd pic) 200MA's are just below ready to catch as support.
Somethings to consider when analyzing the charts. 👍

Let’s say the most honest big truth: this week, sentiment in US stocks has completely flipped.
In the past few weeks, the market was still blindly bouncing back, with AI everywhere “eating meat,”
but this week, the action quietly switched from a “money-making bull market” to a high-level, violent shakeout, with theme stocks collectively cooling off.
Overnight, all three major US stock indexes closed down across the board, with not a trace of resistance—and it’s been consecutive declines this week, weakness is clearly visible:
Dow Jones -0.77%
S&P 500 -1.01%
Nasdaq plunged -1.40%
Focus on the w

$ETH just gave us a wild ride.
Ethereum is sitting at $1,842.06 right now, up 1.34% on the day. But that number doesn't tell the whole story.
A little while back, ETH tapped a high of $1,870.95, then got smacked down hard, dropping all the way to $1,804.05. That's a swing of almost $67 in a short window. Classic crypto chaos.
After that dip, buyers stepped back in and pushed price back up into the $1,840s, where it's been grinding sideways since, testing resistance near $1,857 a few times but not quite breaking through.
Here's the wider picture though, and this is where it gets interesting:

CEO Marc Boiron says the company is completing a $250 million acquisition of Coinme and Sequence as it works toward profitability by 2027.

Why did $PYPL pump so hard last week?
Side note: check out the capitulation at the bottom which makes this lower range look like an accumulation breakout.
Zoom out to weekly and it gets more interesting. Only caveat is earnings wildcard next week. Anyone holding through?

7.18 Jinglu Evening Brief Review
Current BTC is under pressure near $64,131, sitting at the vicinity of the upper Bollinger Band; the KDJ golden cross has weak momentum and MACD bullish momentum is fading. While net capital inflow has reached $189 million, the increase in open interest has slowed down. The basis is trading at a discount (backwardation), reflecting the market’s cautious approach to chasing longs. Price is consolidating in a narrow range between the Bollinger middle band and upper band. $64,358 forms short-term resistance above, while $63,917 is the first support level below. Ov

It feels so slow like this—turn on a bigger setting and start doing it in a faster “scatter mode” right away.

XLM bulls’ final wild party? The 4-hour EMA has exposed the main force’s intent

$XLM /USDT - SHORT

Trading plan:
Entry: 0.18410 – 0.18474
SL: 0.18751
TP1: 0.18211
TP2: 0.18056
TP3: 0.17825

Why focus on this structure?
- The daily trend is clearly bearish; the 4-hour EMA short arrangement is suppressing price
- Near 0.18442, RSI is only 50.31; rebound momentum is insufficient
- ATR is just 0.00128; after volatility narrows, it’s likely to break downward
- Recommendation: SHORT directly at the current price; TP1 at 0.18211, TP2 at 0.18056

Discussion:
Will this move drop first to TP2 and

$PI What’s going on—why is everything suddenly all red?

$AVAAI Sell short on rallies! It already hit the prior high and has then stopped—pushing it higher from here could just be an opportunity for the shorts. I think the first target to watch is below 75, and the defense level is around 102. Don’t chase too aggressively—manage risk and see whether the next 24 hours of price action can play out.
