Putin officially set foot on US soil for a meeting again after 18 years.
Alaska belonged to Russia during the Tsarist era and was later sold to the United States for $7.2 million.
The location they chose for this meeting is also intriguing, a bit like a throwback to history—as if to convey that the two sides are partners with a history of doing business, not just adversaries.
Putin's presence on US soil is a signal that both sides clearly want to achieve their desired negotiation outcome. I believe the outcome will be good. Both sides have sent friendly signals and hope to facilitate the negotiations.
BTC ETH August 15th Economic Data Geopolitical K-Line Chart Analysis
August 15th Web3 main task strategy.
I. Economic Data:
Yesterday's pullback was due to the US PPI significantly exceeding expectations, eliminating the probability of a 50 basis point rate cut by the Fed in September, leading to a market sentiment decline.
PPI: An inflation indicator that measures the average change in prices received by domestic producers for their sales of goods and services.
Reflects the price changes of producers in raw materials, labor, and other production costs.
July PPI YoY previous value 2.4%, expected 2.5% - actual 3.3%.
July PPI MoM previous value 0% expected 0.2% - actual 0.9%
In short, production costs will rise, which may be passed on to the prices of final consumer goods, leading to a decrease in purchasing power and inflation.
Forecasting the pullback, am I accurate or not? Good luck on my side
Don't hesitate, interest rates will definitely drop in September!!! We haven't hit the bottom yet, let's wait for the U.S. stock market to open and see the sentiment, and build positions in batches.
The significance of the data is not great, it's just a wave of sentiment; now it's the 'understanding king' rate cut faction leading the way against Powell's conservative faction, constantly threatening and mocking Powell, reducing Powell's market influence. The 'understanding king' is a businessman who will certainly ensure that during his term, the stock market and economy flourish, so he will definitely cut through the chaos quickly, using various means to force the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates.
This is your buying opportunity; it's the last dip of the bull market!
Share and like 👍 to spread my good luck to you; if interest rates don't drop in September, I'll send a red envelope of 1888🧧
Finally up 5 times this month, take control of your money and positions, don't let them control you
At 2 PM I closed 90% of my position, ready to study on-chain well, waiting for the opportunity in altcoins to re-enter with a heavy position

I particularly agree that hype around interest rate cuts ≠ liquidity
The liquidity brought by crypto and stock institutions has still entered ETH and BTC
Altcoins are just slowly rising a bit and then distributing; this happens with every altcoin. What we need to do now is to preserve profits and control retracement.
Then continue to select tokens, choosing those altcoins that haven't been significantly pumped yet to add to our watchlist. The token selection logic is as follows:
1. Ethereum and SOL staking series
2. SOL meme series
3. AI, artificial intelligence, and biotechnology series (including virtual character companionship)
4. DEX and DeFi series
Recently, there is an 80% probability of a pullback being distributed, opening up a true bull market channel for the interest rate cut in September. The above token selection logic has been shared; whether you can seize this opportunity for financial freedom depends on your own fortune.

$LINK I took profit on 23.15, keeping a small amount of profit, right at 23.11 my position was closed, then it violently surged, now it's at 24.5, at this moment I really feel a thousand grass mud horses galloping in my heart. I'm still too inexperienced, the point I set wasn't good~ Keep working hard!
The day before yesterday, I posted a bet on CPI data. Looking at the average level of people in Binance Square, I finally understand why there are so many forever-profiting teachers who can harvest retail investors~
Prices are illusory; the market is about supply and demand. Speculation is about expectations. When buying and selling, one should not use past prices as logic.
A pullback will start around 4750-4850, as there are people in the futures market betting on shorting for value, after all, a sudden new high will definitely face resistance
The pullback will stabilize around 4500, then after a 50BP rate cut, it will directly break through 5000, heading straight to 6000 without looking back, with this year's peak at 6800-7000.
Just making things up randomly, don't take it seriously, wish everyone can seize the market and become rich.

I'll share my logic for selecting coins and analyze the market, economic data, and geopolitical issues. I'm definitely a hexagonal warrior, so brothers, please support me a lot!!! Keep following and liking 👍
Trump signed, China-US tariffs postponed for 90 days
Everything is ready, only waiting for the right moment; one uncertain negative event has been ruled out, waiting for tomorrow's CPI data to be released. If it meets expectations, it will mark the true beginning of a bull market.
At 10 o'clock, I just saw that UNI had rebounded from a correction, and I built a 5% base position, preparing to gradually add to my position. After going out for a meal, I came back to find good news about UNI?
Is this what it means to be foolish by nature and have good luck?
Prosperous firewood? I found the reason, because I hold prosperous firewood.
One-click triple connection, follow, like, and share, LINK breaks 30 to send 500U red envelope 🧧, drawing 10 people, 50U each
Babies, I really need data as motivation to keep sharing.
1. Economic Data:
The CPI data on Tuesday, August 12 at 8:30 PM is the most important data this week, determining the market's hype over interest rate cut expectations. In short: meeting expectations and being below expectations is favorable. Exceeding expected data is unfavorable; see expected data in the figure below.
Q: What is the US CPI data? A: Consumer Price Index.
In simple terms: Measures inflation/deflation
* If CPI continues to rise, it indicates that inflation is occurring (money is losing value, purchasing power is declining). * If CPI continues to decline, it indicates deflation (prices are generally falling, and the economy may have downside risks).
Core CPI data excludes food and energy because food and energy are seasonally affected, so core CPI better reflects inflation issues.
2. Recent BTC ETH CME (Futures) Gaps:
ETH 4098-4230 2853-2925 BTC 118405-119110
3. Trade and Geopolitical Issues
1. The third round of trade negotiations between China and the US has not yet confirmed the extension of the 90-day tariff suspension; Trump has not signed.
2. The US and Russia will meet in Alaska on August 15 to discuss the Russia-Ukraine ceasefire issue.
4. Market Overview
I feel there’s not much to say over the weekend, a slight floating loss of $LINK , 20% is not a big problem, I remain optimistic, and will scale in on dips. I will decide whether to set a stop loss once the US stock market opens.
5. Casual Talk
Michael Saylor posted on the evening of August 10 at 19:07 that if you do not stop buying Bitcoin, you will not stop making money. This implies MicroStrategy may increase its BTC holdings again.
I finally feel more mature in this round of the market compared to last year, documenting my growth; the market is born in despair, missed in hesitation, and ends in celebration ✔️
People are still hesitating, watching the greed index at 62, and there’s not much FOMO.
Prices are illusory; what is speculated is the expectation space, because you have seen low-priced chips, you are unwilling to buy at the current price.
You look at the past, while institutions look at the future; institutions see future prices and think the current chips are free money.
Overall Situation: 1. On August 15, Trump and Putin will meet in Alaska to discuss the ceasefire issue between Russia and Ukraine. Trump is likely to make some concessions regarding rare earths in exchange for a ceasefire, facilitating the upcoming negotiations with the panda, which is considered a positive for the market.
2. The 401(k) pension plan signed by Trump is a significant positive for spot ETFs. It genuinely brings liquidity.
3. The Federal Reserve's interest rate cut in September is practically confirmed.
Summary: The overall situation is positive, and the long-term outlook is definitely bullish.
Market Situation:
At 8 o'clock, BTC surged by 2000 points, but the spot premium actually decreased, indicating that the futures market is dominant. If the spot premium does not keep up, one should be alert to the risk of a pullback. Futures took profits, and spot demand did not follow, touching the upper Bollinger Band for 12 hours, which presents certain selling pressure.
If the spot premium keeps up, along with the opening of the U.S. stock market on Monday, it will continue to maintain an upward trend indicating the arrival of a bull market.
ETH saw a significant increase yesterday, and the liquidity accumulated by short positions has also been increasing. Will the U.S. stock market open first liquidate the upper liquidity and then pull back and oscillate?
Summary: The market is still healthy. When the futures dominate the market, pay attention to position management, reduce leverage, and take profits and stop losses to avoid the pullback affecting your mindset. Wait for the spot market to catch up before building positions in batches. This way, the psychological pressure will be much less.
Investing is not a long-distance run, not a slow jog, but rock climbing; find a good foothold to climb higher.
The secret to wealth growth is controlling drawdowns.
The above is all personal thoughts shared and is not investment advice. If you make a profit, there's no need to thank me; if you lose, don't blame me.
10x Margin Long on Link! No closing positions unless forcibly liquidated
Chainlink is one of the few companies with the ability to generate real-world business income, and it is quite profitable. It has now established a buyback reserve strategy, and although it hasn't significantly surged yet, the moment liquidity from interest rate cuts comes in will be the time for it to bear fruit.
I opened my UNI position on August 8th, and it was stopped out at 9.99, which is a bit regrettable. I also plan to do trend trading with UNI for the long term. It's a pity that at least tens of thousands in profit have flown away. I tend to set my stop-loss points particularly tight when opening positions and prefer to roll over floating profits.
The 9000U target has been reached, the next target is 10K
All positions have been liquidated for U, waiting for the non-farm data to re-enter the market.
Yesterday I understood a principle, we are players, not value investors, we don’t need to see how high BTC ETH SOL rise, these have nothing to do with me, I only need to see my USDT grow.
To trade, one must have the courage of a lizard shedding its tail, go with the trend, regardless of how much is lost when breaking a point, you must stop the loss. The biggest loss in resisting a position is not money, but watching the losses continuously expand, which seriously affects your mental balance, and because of one resistance, you lose the opportunity to make the next trade.
