$CHIP – Liquidation Map (7 Days) – Current Price 0.0595
🔎 The 7-day liquidation map shows roughly $3.4–3.5 million in long liquidations below the current price, exceeding approximately $2.1 million in short liquidations above. The liquidity structure therefore favors the downside, with around 1.6 times more cumulative liquidity below the market.
📉 Below the market, nearby long-liquidation liquidity remains relatively thin around 0.0593–0.0572 before increasing across 0.0565–0.0552. Larger clusters sit deeper around 0.0528 and 0.0504, while the standout downside bar near 0.0492 reaches close to $200,000. Losing 0.0593 would shift attention toward 0.0572–0.0565.
📈 Above the market, short-liquidation liquidity begins building from 0.0604 and becomes denser across 0.0610–0.0635. The strongest cluster sits near 0.0622 with a liquidation bar around $165,000, while 0.0626 also contains a bar above $100,000. Further out, liquidity remains distributed toward 0.0655–0.0662 but gradually thins.
🧭 The broader setup favors the downside because long-liquidation exposure below is roughly 1.6 times larger. Losing 0.0593 would increase the probability of a sweep toward 0.0572–0.0565, while breaking above 0.0604 would shift attention toward 0.0610–0.0622.

Metals week Aug 31–Sep 6: Gold tracks the Fed while copper extends its winning streak
🥇 Gold ended the week around $4,420–4,430/oz after a volatile sequence driven largely by U.S. rate expectations. Prices fell early in the week despite rising Iran–Hormuz tensions, rebounded more than 2% after Christopher Waller struck a softer tone, then came under pressure again following a +162,000 NFP print. The move suggests gold traded more as a proxy for Fed expectations than as a sustained geopolitical safe haven.
🥈 Silver moved with higher beta but finished around $66/oz, roughly flat to slightly higher on the week. Platinum was also little changed near $1,810–1,830/oz. Precious metals overall remained highly sensitive to real yields and the dollar, while geopolitical risk offered only intermittent support.
🟠 Copper moved in the opposite direction. LME copper extended its advance to a 10th consecutive week, trading near $14,400/tonne and close to record highs. It is the longest weekly winning streak since 1994. SHFE copper inventories fell about 13% to roughly 63,000 tonnes, while metal continued to be drawn toward the U.S. ahead of a possible tariff on refined copper.
🏭 Copper’s support is not coming from inventories alone. Global mine output fell about 1.1% in the first half of the year, while Chile and several major operations continued to face disruptions. China’s manufacturing PMI at 49.8 still points to soft demand, but constrained supply has helped copper remain resilient despite weaker growth signals.
📊 Next week, gold will remain focused on U.S. PPI, CPI and FOMC expectations, with the $4,360–4,530/oz area in focus. Copper retains a neutral-to-positive near-term bias while inventories stay tight, but risks would rise if Chinese demand disappoints or U.S. refined-copper tariff policy shifts. The divergence remains clear: precious metals are pricing the Fed, while copper is pricing supply and inventories.
$PENDLE – 7-Day Liquidation Map – Current Price 1.978
🔎 The 7-day liquidation map shows heavier liquidity sitting below the current price. Cumulative long liquidation liquidity below is roughly $3.2–3.4 million, while cumulative short liquidation liquidity above is around $1.3–1.4 million, suggesting the current structure is tilted toward a downside liquidity sweep.
📉 On the downside, the main clusters are concentrated around 1.895, 1.88–1.865, and 1.76. The 1.895 area stands out with a large liquidation bar, while 1.76 is also a notable dense zone. If price loses the 1.973–1.958 area, the focus could shift toward 1.91–1.895 before looking deeper into 1.88–1.86.
📈 On the upside, short-side liquidity starts building more clearly from the 2.00 area and becomes denser around 2.015–2.03. Additional clusters appear near 2.045 and 2.12–2.16, but overall the upside liquidity is still lighter than the downside. If price reclaims 2.00, the probability of a sweep toward 2.015–2.03 would increase.
🧭 Overall, the map suggests that $PENDLE currently has a stronger liquidity magnet below the market. That does not guarantee an immediate drop, but in the short term the market may be more sensitive to a sweep toward 1.91–1.895 before deciding its next direction.

Forex Weekly 31 Aug–6 Sep: Dollar Weakens as Yen Leads on Fed–BoJ Divergence
💵 The US dollar ended the week weaker despite a much stronger-than-expected labor report. DXY fell about 0.5% to around 99.17, while USD/JPY dropped more than 2% to the 156.2 area. EUR/USD edged up toward 1.162, while GBP/USD held near 1.35.
📊 August nonfarm payrolls rose by 162,000, far above expectations, with unemployment steady at 4.1% and average hourly earnings up 0.3% m/m. However, softer ADP data, flat JOLTS openings and contracting employment in the ISM services survey suggested that labor conditions were not uniformly overheating.
🏦 Fed signals remained divided. Chair Kevin Warsh maintained a hawkish stance, while Governor Christopher Waller favored waiting for more inflation evidence before raising rates. Expectations for a September hike jumped after NFP but later eased, limiting the dollar’s recovery.
🇯🇵 The yen was the standout currency of the week as markets increased bets that the BoJ will continue policy normalization. Heavy speculative short positioning also fueled position covering, while signals from both Washington and Tokyo reinforced expectations for a stronger yen.
🛢 Tensions around Iran and the Strait of Hormuz pushed oil sharply higher, keeping energy-driven inflation risks elevated and complicating the global rate outlook. The RBNZ raised rates by another 25 basis points, while the BoC stayed on hold but warned that further tightening may be needed if inflation remains persistent.
📅 Attention now turns to US CPI and the ECB meeting. A hot CPI print could revive Fed hike expectations and push DXY back toward 100, while softer inflation combined with a hawkish ECB could further support the euro and yen. USD/JPY at 155–158 and EUR/USD at 1.165–1.170 remain key areas to watch.
$AVGO – Liquidation Map (7 Days) – Current Price 357.4
🔎 The 7-day liquidation map shows roughly $9.8–10.0 million in short liquidations above the current price, exceeding approximately $7.0–7.2 million in long liquidations below. The liquidity structure therefore favors the upside, with around 1.4 times more cumulative liquidity above the market.
📉 Below the market, nearby long-liquidation liquidity remains relatively thin around 353.7–350.9 before increasing across 344.9–340.1.

📈 Above the market, short-liquidation liquidity begins building from 362.5 and becomes much denser across 367.3–379.7. The strongest cluster sits near 374.9 with a liquidation bar around $420,000, while 379.7 also contains a bar near $285,000. Further out, 386.9 and 393–394 hold additional clusters around $230,000–300,000.
🧭 The broader setup favors the upside because short-liquidation exposure above is roughly 1.4 times larger. Breaking 362.5 would increase the probability of a sweep toward 367.3–374.9, while losing 353.7 would shift attention toward 350.9–344.9.

Ukraine opens limited strike pause ahead of US envoys’ visit
🇺🇦 President Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukraine would refrain from air strikes while Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner travel to Russia, aiming to ensure the safety of the US delegation.
🤝 Washington has also asked both Kyiv and Moscow to limit attacks while the envoys move between the two countries. Russia, however, has not publicly committed to observing the request.
⚠️ The move does not amount to a comprehensive ceasefire. Ukrainian sources have also reported a temporary “silence regime” from September 5–8, but this has not been publicly confirmed by the General Staff.
📍 Air-raid alerts and drone activity around Kyiv as the window began suggest that de-escalation on the ground remains limited.
$DASH – Liquidation Map (7 Days) – Current Price 64.9
🔎 The 7-day liquidation map shows roughly $13.5–14 million in long liquidations below the current price, clearly exceeding approximately $5 million in short liquidations above.

🏛️ SEBI issued an observation letter for the National Stock Exchange of India’s IPO filing on September 4, clearing the way for the next steps, including the price band and book-building process. This is not yet the official offer launch.
📊 The deal is expected to be a 100% Offer for Sale, with up to about 148.9 million shares, or nearly 6% of NSE’s equity, being sold. NSE itself will not receive proceeds from the transaction.
💰 Market estimates place the potential issue size at around ₹300 billion, which could make it one of India’s largest IPOs, although the final amount has not been officially confirmed.
📅 The market currently expects the shares to list on BSE later in September. If completed as planned, the deal would end nearly a decade of delays linked to regulatory and legal issues.
⚖️ Attention now turns to the price band, especially as derivatives trading activity in India faces pressure following tighter SEBI measures.
