#BTC More visible motor: institutional flows and accumulation. The latest daily report available, corresponding to 2026-08-18 and including data from 2026-08-17, showed net inflows of approximately $298M into spot Bitcoin ETFs. It also reported that large holders had accumulated around $2.9B in BTC over the prior 60 days. These figures are consistent with stronger spot demand.
Additional narrative: increased institutional adoption. The news that Citi plans to offer Bitcoin custody to institutional clients, along with the investment announced by Metaplanet โincluding 2,100 BTCโ could reinforce interest in BTC as a treasury and financial-infrastructure asset. This does not prove they are the sole cause of todayโs rise, but it fits a more favorable sentiment backdrop.
What to watch now. There isnโt necessarily a single headline that explains all of todayโs intraday move: part of the action may also reflect technical buying and covering of short positions as price breaks above prior levels. A continuation would require the price to hold near recent highs and institutional demand not to weaken; a swift pullback from that zone would suggest profit-taking and higher volatility.
$XAU The underlying fundamentals remain intact: purchases by central banks, U.S. fiscal deficits, structural weakness of the dollar, and persistent geopolitical risk

#STOCK Key points from the macroeconomic outlook for US stocks this week (August 17 to August 18):
*The central theme for US stocks this week centers on a โdeep readโ of the minutes from the Federal Reserveโs July meeting (watch for whether dovish or hawkish voices are isolated and their impact on the September rate-hike pricing), the continued validation of consumption and the real estate sector resilience through housing data and retail/sales and financial reports, and guidance related to the AI infrastructure segment (Fabrinetโs optical interconnect, ADI energy sources/data centers). August 17 (Monday) 1. The United States will release the New York Fedโs August manufacturing index (Empire State), the NAHB August homebuilders index; and June ICT capital flow data; 2. Fabrinet (FN) will publish its financial reports after the market close (validating demand for optical interconnects for AI data centers, DCI modules and optical communications, with close attention); 3. China will publish data such as industrial value added, retail sales, and investment in fixed assets for July (which affect global risk appetite and the reflection of foreign-listed Chinese companies).
August 18 (Tuesday) - The United States will release July building permits and housing starts, import/export price indices, industrial production and the capacity utilization rate, and pending home sales; - Home Depot (HD) will publish its financial reports before the start of trading, with the core validation of demand for home improvement $BTC $XAU $ETH
The bullish structure remains intact on 1H, marking a solid sequence of successively higher highs and lows (HH / HL). After the last reaction from the higher low (HL at $336.00), the price broke above the local ceiling to print a new HH at $348.00 and is currently trading at $342.40, consolidating in the upper range toward the larger supply zone.
๐น Price Action Levels:
โข Resistance:
$348.00 (HH): Immediate resistance and the recent swing high to break. $354.05 - $362.00 (HB - DP 1D / HH Macro): Main daily supply block and a higher structural barrier. $364.53: Macro break level and an extended bullish target.
โข Supports:
$336.00 (HL): Most recent higher low and the first primary support $320.00 - $321.00 (DJ - DP / QML?): Structural demand base and invalidation point for the trend
- Scenario Plan:
Bullish Continuation: Break and consolidate above $348.00 Technical Pullback: An orderly retracement back toward HL ($336) $TSLA
โ FOR (macro): โข Double inflation data coming this week (CPI + PPI) โข PPI feeds into the PCE, the indicator the Fed watches โ strengthens the case for not raising rates โข Rate hike odds in September fall to ~33%
โ AGAINST (geopolitics): โข Iran said there are no advances in the ceasefire talks โข The Strait of Hormuz remains closed โ as long as there is no peace, itโs hard for a risk asset like BTC to sustain rebounds โข Trading volume at 3-year lows โ little "fuel" to break the range
๐ SUI/USDT โ 1H ๐น Current situation: SUI is at 0.6879, moving within a descending structure outlined by the yellow guideline. ๐ก Key support: 0.6799. As long as this zone holds, the price could attempt to form a rebound.
๐ฏ Main resistance: 0.7037. A breakout with volume would be a fairly positive signal and could pave the way toward 0.7100-0.7150.
๐ Volume has been declining during consolidation, so it would be important to wait for a volume expansion to confirm the move. $SUI
SPCX maintains a moderately bullish structure. The moving average alignment is favorable: EMA5 at 137.11 > EMA10 at 136.51 > EMA20 at 134.19 > EMA120 at 122.00. This indicates that the recent rebound is not limited to an intraday move, but has also improved the medium-term trend. However, the reference price, around 138.53, is just below an important supply zone. Therefore, the trend remains positive, but the room for immediate upside is smaller and the probability of consolidation or pullback before a new bullish leg increases. $SPCX

#STOCKใAnticipation of the Financial Reportใ๐SpaceX 2026 T2: Starlinkโs profit margin jumps sharply, and AI compute-capacity contracts increase in volume
๏ผFinancial report date: after the Aug 4 session๏ผ
1. Key points of interest: Focus on the qualitative transformation of Starlinkโs profitability, as well as the initial rollout of the AI compute-capacity leasing business, to verify the results of its transition from a โrocket-launching modelโ to a dual-driven model of โspace infrastructure + AI compute capacity.โ 2. Key indicators: Starlinkโs operating profit margin (which has risen to 35.9%) and the proportion of revenue from AI-related contractsโthese are key metrics for measuring the monetization efficiency of its high-margin businesses. 3. Investment logic: If Starlinkโs high profit margin holds steady and AI compute-capacity orders exceed expectations, SpaceXโs valuation system will be reconfigured as the โspace version of AWS,โ which will offset liquidity pressure stemming from the large share unlock in August. 4. Risk warning: It is necessary to monitor the short-term selling pressure caused by the August share unlock, as well as the potential disruption to its long-term monopoly position in space transportation if Starshipโs flight-test progress does not meet expectations.

$XAU remains above the 5-, 10-, and 20-period moving averages, a sign that the short-term momentum has improved and buyers are taking control again. The decisive zone lies between 4,065 and 4,070. As long as gold holds that support, the scenario favors a bullish continuation toward 4,090โ4,100. If it manages to break above that resistance with volume, the next target would be 4,120โ4,140, where a more significant resistance would appear. If 4,065 is lost with a clear 4H close, the probability of a correction toward 4,045โ4,035 would increaseโan area where demand could re-enter before attempting a new push

Litecoin increased by 46% between February 2 and February 19, demonstrating growing investor interest. Part of this growth comes from "its strong increase in network utility, which has been processing $9.6 billion in daily transaction volume over the past 7 days".
Litecoin had around $2.8 billion in daily transaction volume at the end of August, so current levels represent a 243% increase in five months. Additionally, LTC prices have doubled since early November, outperforming the overall cryptocurrency market, which has experienced gains of 42% during the same period. The Securities and Exchange Commission published a receipt on February 19 for a rule change for the listing of the CoinShares spot Litecoin ETF on Nasdaq.
For its part, the Litecoin ETF from Canary Capital was listed in the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC) system with the ticker LTCC on February 20.
The DTCC is a key piece of global financial markets and processes trillions of dollars in securities transactions every day, explained the Litecoin Foundation, which added: "It is a key preparatory step for the potential launch of the fund". Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas warned that this does not mean the product is approved or ready to start trading, "but it shows that the issuer is making preparations for when it is." He added that analysts' odds of it being approved this year remain at 90%.
