8.18 Ether, Tuesday, afternoon
Continuing with the morning outlook unchanged, after surging in the morning to test the 1918 high, the price came under pressure and pulled back. Resistance above is clear, and the bulls lack follow-through after the surge.
Currently, the market is in a high-level consolidation phase. Do not blindly chase longs; focus on whether the resistance above can be effectively broken.
Trading strategy
Short in the 1915–1930 range on a rebound; if the pullback holds above 1895, continue to view it as range-bound consolidation. After a breakdown, look toward 1853–1868$ETH #

#SKHynixSurgesOver8%
SK hynix is once again grabbing the market’s attention with its shares surging more than 8%, highlighting the powerful momentum currently surrounding the semiconductor and artificial intelligence supply chain.
The move is especially significant because SK hynix is one of the world’s leading memory-chip manufacturers and a major player in high-bandwidth memory, or HBM. As demand for AI accelerators continues to expand, advanced memory has become one of the most important components supporting the next generation of data centers.

Why is Unitree Technology in such a hurry to go public?
Here’s a rather interesting piece of trivia: Even compared with toy companies, LEGO’s annual R&D investment is roughly more than 20 times Unitree’s, while Bandai’s is about more than 10 times Unitree’s
In other words, even if Unitree were viewed as part of the toy industry, it still wouldn’t qualify as a particularly R&D-intensive company

NVIDIA, OpenAI, and the 12 Gigawatt Computing Power Revolution

The artificial intelligence industry has reached a turning point. On August 17, 2026, NVIDIA and OpenAI formally announced a strategic partnership to deploy at least 10 gigawatts of NVIDIA systems for OpenAI's next-generation AI infrastructure. Combined with OpenAI's existing and planned NVIDIA deployments, the total secured computing capacity now stands at approximately 12 gigawatts, with the potential to expand to 16 gigawatts if NVIDIA extends its commitment in Ohio.

XRP: Whales Are Getting Active, But the $1 Level Matters
XRP is back in focus as whale activity increases. Santiment data cited in recent market coverage points to a rise in large XRP transactions, while the token is trading around the psychologically important $1 area. That combination is worth watching, but I don't think whale activity alone is enough to call a reversal.
XRP is the native asset of the XRP Ledger, a blockchain designed around fast settlement and payments. XRPL uses a validator-based consensus system rather than Bitcoin-style mining, with ledgers typically reaching agreement w

🇺🇸 BREAKING: NVIDIA will provide up to $105 billion in guarantees for OpenAI's new Ohio AI data center.

Buyer confidence is increasing, momentum remains constructive, and the AI narrative continues to attract attention. $FET could provide additional confirmation if strength begins spreading across AI-related names.

【$ETH Signal】Long + strong absorption amid order book imbalance
$ETH Order book imbalance is 67.21%, bid depth ratio is 5.10, and asks are paper-thin. 1H RSI is 47.38, price is retesting around EMA50, and 4H Bollinger mid-band support is holding. OI is stable, funding rate is 0.0020%, with no signs of overheating. The current price is 1896.68, within the sniper zone. With a risk-reward ratio of 1.5, it is worth a shot, but position size should be controlled.

The big change versus yesterday is that the bond/oil combination has deteriorated: US 30-year yields are at their highest since 2007, Japan’s 10-year is at a three-decade high, Brent is above $91, and Asian equities reversed early gains.
