U.S. August CPI rose 3.4% year over year and 0.4% month over month, pushing the probability of a 25bp Fed rate hike to around 86%.
$ETH saw approximately $290K in long liquidations at $2,521.26, marking a significant flush of leveraged bullish positions.
This liquidation activity could increase short-term volatility and add selling pressure if bearish momentum continues.
👀 Watch the $2,521 zone closely for Ethereum’s next market reaction.

BTC at a Crossroads: Will CPI Spark the Breakout?
Bitcoin is trading at $77,270 on the 4H chart, fighting to recover from a sharp drop to $76,000. The last two candles are green, and the MACD is flashing a subtle bullish crossover (DIF above DEA at 5.0), suggesting bearish momentum is fading. However, the RSI sits below 50 (44.79), and the price is struggling to reclaim the EMA7 ($77,304) and EMA14 ($77,528). Volume remains thin, and the 24h high of $79,900 acts as a major ceiling.
This technical indecision perfectly mirrors the macro picture. Nonfarm payrolls beat expectations, but the real test is CPI. If CPI cools, BTC could break above $78,000 and target $79,900. If CPI runs hot, expect a retest of the $76,000 support.
My stance: Cautiously bullish. I’m holding spot BTC as a core position, using the trade sharing widget to track my exposure. No leverage before the data — risk management first.
Your turn: Hike or hold? Bullish or bearish?

Stop-Loss: $154.00
Take Profit 1: $146.50
Take Profit 2: $142.50
Take Profit 3: $138.00
📊 Analysis:
The $150.71 short liquidation level marks an important nearby liquidity area. If price rejects this region and fails to establish higher highs, sellers may regain control. The setup is stronger if rejection is accompanied by expanding selling volume.
⚠️ Invalidation: A sustained breakout above $154.00 cancels the short idea.
Wait for confirmation rather than chasing the move.

The silence before the storm feels heavier than usual. Charts have been quiet for too long, volumes compressed, sentiment flat. Then the first cracks appear. Volume is rising across the board. Bitcoin dominance is starting to shift lower as capital rotates into alts. Whale wallets that sat idle for weeks are moving size again. TRX is one of the names catching quiet accumulation.
Price is holding above the recent base near 0.335. I’m watching the 0.342–0.345 zone as the next test. A clean break and hold there opens the path higher.

Stop-Loss: $0.00925
Take Profit 1: $0.00845
Take Profit 2: $0.00805
Take Profit 3: $0.00765
📊 Analysis:
The $0.00885 short liquidation area is a key liquidity reference. A rejection around this level, particularly with weak follow-through from buyers, would favor a short-term bearish setup. The preferred approach is to wait for bearish price action before entering.
⚠️ Invalidation: A sustained move above $0.00925 invalidates the setup.
Risk should remain predefined, especially given the volatility of smaller-cap assets.

BZ is showing a potential rebound zone around the $100 area after long liquidations near $100.45. If buyers defend this level and price forms a higher low, a move toward the nearby resistance levels becomes reasonable.

Stop-Loss: $145.80

TP3: $160.00
The $149–150 region is the key reaction area following notable long liquidations around $149.59. Holding this zone with improving buying volume could support a recovery toward the next resistance levels.
Invalidation: A decisive move below $145.80 weakens the structure and cancels the setup.
Avoid chasing the move; confirmation around entry is preferred. 📈

Short liquidations around $0.66235 suggest price may be testing an important reaction zone. A rejection from $0.67–$0.68, especially with weak volume, would favor a move toward lower support.

Wait for rejection confirmation rather than entering blindly at market. ⚠️
