Yesterday, BTC ETF saw a net inflow of $606 million, and ETH ETF saw a net inflow of $220 million, both hitting new highs for the year. Trump's push for the Clarity Act, the Treasury's expansion of Treasury bond repurchases, and Fed Chair Daly's dovish statements all contributed to the short squeeze rally. However, the 4-hour RSI is above 93, indicating extreme overbought conditions. --- II. Bitcoin Strategy · Support: 75,500–76,000 (short-term); 72,000–72,500 (strong support) · Resistance: 78,500–79,000; 79,500–80,000 Strategy: The trend is bullish, but chasing highs carries significant risk; wait for a pullback. • Consider a small long position if the price retraces to 75,500–76,000 and stabilizes, with a stop loss below 74,500. • Consider a short position if the price rebounds to 78,500–79,000 and encounters resistance, with a strict stop loss. --- III. Ethereum Strategy • Support: 2,325–2,350; 2,250–2,270 (strong) • Resistance: 2,420–2,450 Strategy: Ethereum has good elasticity but is also overbought. Large investors reduced their holdings at 2,346, so caution is advised. • Buy on a pullback to 2,325–2,350 with a stop loss at 2,280. • Sell short on a rebound to 2,420–2,450 if it encounters resistance. --- IV. Risk Warnings 1. Severely overbought conditions and heavy profit-taking suggest a high probability of high-level consolidation or a pullback. 2. The 30-year US Treasury yield is 5.24%. If liquidity falls short of expectations, risk assets will be under pressure. 3. Geopolitical tensions (US-Iran) could trigger sharp price drops. 4. This article is time-sensitive.

Bitcoin and Ethereum Trading Recommendations and Future Trend Analysis (August 21): The current market is in a post-rally consolidation phase, fluctuating within a range. Although the technical indicators show a three-internal downward pattern suggesting a potential downtrend, the repeated support at the 72250 level indicates buying power in this area, limiting the downside. Externally, market sentiment is leaning towards greed, reflecting investors' optimistic expectations for future price increases. However, the rise in the US dollar index and Treasury yields may put pressure on risk assets, creating a negative impact. Therefore, the current market presents a complex situation of mixed bullish and bearish sentiment. Analyst Xiao Ma's Diary Trading Recommendations: Bitcoin: Short near 72800-73300, target 71000-70000; Ethereum: Short near 2350-2370, target 2280-2250.

Reasons for yesterday's surge: • US Treasury expands long-term debt repurchase agreements (single transaction limit raised to $4 billion, effective September) • SEC proposes "safe harbor" framework for crypto asset regulation • Approximately $1.92 billion in liquidations (US$1.44 billion from short positions), coupled with net inflows of approximately $487 million into ETFs over two consecutive days. Today's strategy (based on August 20th market conditions, BTC≈69,500, ETH≈2,250): BTC (key level 70,000) • Long: Buy lightly on a pullback to 68,000-68,500 with a stop loss below 67,500, target 69,500-70,000; if it breaks and holds above 70,000 with volume, consider a light long position with a stop loss at 69,500, target 72,000-73,000. • Short selling: Try shorting at 69,500–70,000, stop loss above 70,500, target 68,000–67,500 (against the trend, be sure to use small positions and strict stop loss). ETH (stronger than BTC, resistance at 2,300) • Long selling: Buy on pullbacks to 2,070–2,095, stop loss at 2,050, target 2,250–2,300. • Short selling: Try shorting at 2,300–2,350, stop loss at 2,380, target 2,200–2,150. • Risk warnings: • The surge was driven by short liquidation rather than spot buying, its sustainability is questionable, and there is short-term downward pressure. • August is historically weak; whether the $70,000 level can be held will determine the trend. • This article is time-sensitive; for follow-up trading, please check my homepage QQ.

The short position strategy initiated by SanDisk during its afternoon surge to 1785 saw the price fall back after the initial surge, dropping to around 1710 in less than an hour, resulting in a gain of over 70 points. Congratulations to those who followed Silk Road for successfully profiting.

SanDisk's short position was initiated around 1740 yesterday, and the price dropped to around 1565 in the early morning.

This rebound presents a good entry opportunity. Trading suggestion: Short SanDisk around 1685-1700, with targets around 1560-1600, and a further target of 1730.

Yesterday, short positions were entered near 4400 and 1740 in Gold (SanDisk), with a significant drop to around 4330 and 1565 in the early morning, resulting in substantial losses. Meanwhile, Bitcoin/Ethereum continued its sideways consolidation, lacking strong momentum and liquidity, giving the impression of being abandoned by the market. As previously mentioned, Bitcoin and Ethereum have been consolidating for over a month, reflecting a gradual shift away from altcoins. Stock tokens will eventually replace altcoins, and Bitcoin/Ethereum's consolidation is a manifestation of this process. Therefore, there's no need to have unrealistic expectations for altcoins. Currently, trading futures requires either patience with Bitcoin and Ethereum or a gradual adaptation to stock tokens, studying stocks before applying this knowledge to the crypto market. Last night, Bitcoin/Ethereum surged to around 1920 and 65000 before pulling back, showing significant resistance. However, multiple failed attempts to break below support levels also indicate some support. The key is to see which direction it breaks out in. The market is changing, and our thinking must adapt accordingly, keeping pace with market trends and liquidity. The analysis and strategies provided are for reference only. Please assume all risks.

I. Market Overview: The crypto market remained stable: BTC was at $64,326 (+0.21%), and ETH was at $1,911 (+0.84%). However, the memory chip sector suffered a collective plunge overnight—SanDisk fell 9.01%, Micron fell 7.02%, and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index plummeted 4.98%. The 30-year US Treasury yield surged to 5.336% (the highest since 2007), directly suppressing the valuation of tech stocks. II. Reasons for the Decline and Trading Recommendations: Three main drivers: ① US Treasury yields hit a 19-year high, and expectations of tightening liquidity pressured risk assets; ② Hidden liabilities of AI data centers ($904 billion in unused computing power leases) raised demand concerns; ③ Program trading amplified selling pressure after a short-term surge. Although cryptocurrencies have temporarily resisted the decline, if macro headwinds persist, BTC/ETH is likely to experience a further drop. III. Bitcoin Strategy: Technical Analysis: The price has risen above the $63,915 support level, but significant resistance exists at $65,000-$65,500, and the MACD bullish momentum is weakening. Trading Strategy: Buy on a pullback to 63,900-64,000, stop loss at 63,400; Sell on a rebound to 65,000-65,500 with a small position, stop loss at 65,800. Buy low and sell high within the range, position size ≤ 2%. Ethereum Strategy: Support 1,890-1,900, Resistance 1,930-1,935. Trading Strategy: Buy on a pullback to support, stop loss at 1,870; Sell on a pullback to resistance, stop loss at 1,960. Monitor ETH-ETF fund flows.

Bitcoin and Ethereum Trading Recommendations and Future Trend Analysis (August 19): The current market is in a downtrend. Recent highs have encountered selling pressure, forming a shooting star pattern, indicating a potential bearish reversal. Although the price is close to the support level of 64661.8, it may still face downside risks in the short term. Externally, market sentiment remains neutral, with investors cautious about future trends, showing no obvious greed or fear. Overall, the neutral market sentiment combined with the bearish technical signals creates the current complex market situation. Analyst Xiao Ma's Diary Trading Recommendations: Bitcoin: Add to short positions near 64800, target 63500-63000. Ethereum: Add to short positions near 1915, target 1850-1830.

The short positions in gold, initiated again this afternoon above 4400, have now reached below 4360 and still offer considerable upside potential. Most importantly, the short position in SanDisk near 1740 has already hit 1614, maximizing the potential profit. However, Bitcoin has risen instead of falling, so we'll have to wait for the trend to emerge overnight.

All short positions in XAU gold have now yielded profits: 8/18 Last night, gold prices steadily rose, but the upward movement wasn't very large. We preemptively placed short orders around 4430, which everyone witnessed, as strategies are released in advance. Those who followed Dan's advice were also notified in advance to exit around 4370. Congratulations to those who followed our strategy and made good profits.

Short positions were initiated around 1905 and 64400 for Bitcoin/Ethereum in the afternoon, while SanDisk was entered around 1740. However, Bitcoin and Ethereum traded in a narrow range overall, with a slow movement. SanDisk, however, saw a rapid drop after a surge to around 1650, resulting in a decent overall range. Congratulations to those who followed the strategy. Those who entered short positions on Bitcoin/Ethereum should patiently hold and wait for the price to fall.

Bitcoin/Ethereum has been trading in a narrow range recently. One positive aspect is that Bitcoin has seen a slight upward move since last night, while Ethereum and altcoins haven't followed suit. While Bitcoin's seemingly strong upward move has been accompanied by relative inactivity in Ethereum and altcoins, it suggests the market hasn't truly started its upward trend – a typical bull trap. The 4-hour chart shows that after reaching highs near 1920 and 64500, the price retreated with a small-bodied bearish candle, indicating a slight slowdown in downward momentum, but the market remains weak. The early morning pullback resulted in a larger bearish candle, almost completely erasing the previous day's gains, forming a preliminary bearish engulfing or dark cloud cover pattern, indicating significant selling pressure at higher levels and a potential short-term pullback. Trading suggestions: Short Bitcoin near 64400-64800, target 62000-63000; Short Ethereum near 1905-1920, target 1820-1850. Analysis and strategies are for reference only; please bear your own risk.
