The most severe financial crisis in history will occur in 2026
Famous investor Rogers said: 'The most severe financial crisis in history will occur in 2026, and this crisis is mainly due to two reasons: one is the insane debt growth of countries after the pandemic, and the other is the bubble of artificial intelligence.' Jim Rogers, 82 years old, recently made a big statement, saying that in 2026, the most severe financial crisis in history will erupt, and the word he used was not 'possible,' but 'inevitable.' If someone else had said this, people might have laughed it off, but the name Rogers carries too much weight in the investment circle.
$AKE Although the price is at a high level, the trading volume of the recent few candlesticks has contracted compared with the earlier rally phase. If the subsequent period cannot add volume and break above the previous high, it is easy to form a “double top” structure.
A typical “degen coin” pattern: sentiment and data are severely out of sync. Although technical indicators suggest overbought conditions, the extremely high proportion of short positions implies that the market may not be over yet, and there may even be a possibility of another run up to clear short positions. But you must also be cautious— a 237% turnover rate means the supply of holdings is extremely loose; once the main force stops propping up the market, the sell-off could accelerate very quickly.
$MU rebound stalls—try a short position for a short term, but do not blindly add long positions from the left when current support is not yet solid. If prices break below the intraday low, room to the downside will open up further.
Although Micron benefits in the long run from the AI wave, in the short term a technical breakdown plus extremely crowded long positioning form a typical pullback setup. At this time, it’s not advisable to blindly bottom-fish; it’s safer to follow the trend or wait for clearer stabilization signals.
The semiconductor sector has recently entered a pullback cycle. As a leading cyclical stock, Micron is unlikely to escape the sector move in the near term.
Although AI storage (HBM) is a long-term hotspot, the storage-chip industry is facing cyclical adjustment pressure in the near term, and the market also needs to correct earlier overly optimistic expectations. As a stock with very strong cyclicality, if short-term earnings or guidance miss expectations, it can easily trigger a sharp pullback.
What is “fate” in trading? — Personality is destiny
“One thing makes you do it ten times. With your personality, it always ends the same way—this is your fate.” In trading, “fate” isn’t mysticism. It’s your uncorrected trading habits and human weaknesses. The life of chasing pumps and panic-selling: You get excited and buy higher when you see a big bullish candle, and you panic and cut losses when you see a big bearish candle. As long as this “fear missing out, fear losing” personality doesn’t change, no matter how many coins you switch to, no matter how many technical indicators you look at, the ending will always be: “standing guard at the high point, cutting losses at the low point.” The life of refusing to stop-loss: You always keep a touch of luck, thinking, “It’ll come back eventually.” As long as your nature of “hating losses and refusing to admit you’re wrong” remains, one extreme one-sided market move can wipe you out and reduce you to zero. Those previous nine times you survived by luck were only to set you up for the tenth time’s complete destruction.
Normally, prices rise, bulls are strong, and the funding rate should be positive (bulls pay shorts). A negative funding rate now means shorts are paying bulls a high fee. This suggests that although the price is rising, there is a large amount of capital in the market that is shorting against the trend; or more likely, the main institutions are hedging spot sell pressure by holding large short positions, or deliberately creating a “short squeeze” illusion to lure retail traders into chasing longs, while quietly distributing inventory. This kind of divergence is usually a sign that the trend is topping or a precursor to a major shakeout.
The project team or market makers use negative funding rates to create the illusion that “shorts won’t die and the uptrend will continue,” luring retail traders to step in as buyers. Entering a long position at this time is like taking a gamble in fire, with a lower probability of success.
$DEXE Long orders have taken profit. I have laid out short positions! The short-term market sentiment looks topped, and the risk is extremely high—consider shifting to defense or looking for high-entry short opportunities.
The project team’s recent actions are likely an attempt to use the DeFi sector’s heat to manage market cap, or to coordinate with market makers to pump and then unload. The current market pattern is “high volume with stalled price,” meaning trading volume is huge, but the price is no longer able to rise and even starts to retreat. This is the most dangerous signal.
Approach: Refuse the false breakout to lure longs, and bet on a pullback. We are currently in the cooldown after a wave of sentiment dumping. Any rebound is a chance to exit or enter a short.
Set a strict stop-loss, and guard against the final round of “lure-to-buy” spikes. Take the profit from this pullback!
Profit and loss come from the same source. With violent volatility at high levels, don’t gamble with heavy position sizing—follow the trend!
$BANK Meets High to Short Fundamentals and Valuation Diverge:
BANK’s historical highest price is just a few days ago. Currently, at 0.30, it may look low, but the trading volume/market cap ratio is as high as 86.96%. This means the turnover rate is extremely high and the chips are highly unsettled.
Such a high turnover rate combined with delayed lag at a high level (falling from 0.323 to 0.301) indicates that the main funds are疯狂 unloading by taking advantage of the hype, while retail investors are left holding the bag.
The current rise is an illusion created by the main funds to unload. By leveraging the psychological dynamics of big players holding heavy short positions, it is very possible that the main funds will carry out a second test of the lows or grind lower to harvest the chasing longs.
Watch for rebound opportunities around 0.305–0.308. As long as it cannot strongly break the prior high of 0.323, that will be an excellent short entry point.
$VELVET 🔥The main rally is starting—ride the trend to take profit! 🔥
Let the trend be king—don’t guess the top! Current momentum is extremely strong, and any pullback to the moving average is a chance to get on board.
Use a trailing stop to protect profits—do not try to time the top against the trend.
🚀 The window is here. Follow the main players’ pace and witness new highs together!
Clear signs of capital rushing in: the 24-hour turnover rate exceeds 11%, trading volume surges, and the main forces have aggressively stepped in to buy—refusing to let it dip back.
Technical setup is a perfect breakout: on the 15-minute timeframe, moving averages are in a bullish alignment. A volume-backed breakout has cleared the previous consolidation range, the space above is fully opened, and it’s in an acceleration phase of the rally.
Short-squeeze warning: contract data shows big players’ short positions are slightly dominant, which makes a chain-reaction, liquidation-style surge very likely. At this moment, shorting is no different than blocking a car. vet
$BANK Going long with the trend: don’t fear heights or guess the top! This is a typical short-squeeze market; any pullback to the moving average is an opportunity to get on board.
Once the price breaks the previous high with increased volume, it will trigger large-scale stop-outs for short positions, and then you’ll see an acceleration into a surge.
The shorting fuel tank is already full—follow the trend and hold your long positions firmly!
Watch how strongly the price holds the short-term moving averages (such as near MA7 or MA25). If it doesn’t break through, it can be seen as a chance to get on board.
Given that the large players’ short exposure is extremely high, there is a strong expectation of a squeeze. If the price can break above today’s high (0.308) with volume, you can directly go long following the trend to bet on the accelerated rise caused by short stop-outs.
$XAU Gold: Trends are king—hard to buy back on the bull’s retreat!
A large-scale uptrend is firmly established; any pullback is a good chance to get on board!
Macro resonance, funds flooding in: As global risk-averse sentiment heats up alongside rate-cut expectations, gold—an ultimate safe-haven asset—is undergoing a value reappraisal. The current price is holding steady above the 4000 mark, indicating very strong buy support underneath. Meanwhile, the main funds have already moved in deeply, and the long-term upward channel has been fully opened.
Technical “in-air refueling”: Although the short-term pullback from the 4086 peak has occurred, this is a healthy “profit-taking digestion.” Take a look at Figure 3: the long-term moving average (MA99) is still rising steadily and diverging—this is a classic bull market characteristic. The current decline is merely a “fuel stop” during an up move, not a reversal of the trend.
Contrarian thinking in sentiment battles: Although the big players’ long-to-short ratio is as high as 4.05, which seems crowded, in a strong one-way market this often means “the strong stay strong.” As long as there is no volume-backed crash that breaks key support, this high open-interest will instead become fuel to drive price to keep breaking higher—because shorts don’t dare enter and are forced to cover, pushing gold prices up.
A high turnover rate indicates that the bottom’s profitable positions have been thoroughly shaken out, and new main funds are stepping in to take the relay. This level of turnover usually appears in the early stage of a market move or during an acceleration phase, not at the top.
After a long period of decline, most of the trapped positions above have already cut losses and exited. The current selling pressure mainly comes from the recent short-term profit-taking. As long as trading volume can be maintained, the upward resistance is relatively small.
$APR Multi-side power is evenly matched; a breakout is imminent The big-account long-to-short ratio is 1.02. The proportion of long-position accounts is 50.39%, while short-position accounts are 49.61%.
This is a very critical signal. After a surge of 38%, the long-to-short ratio has not become extremely imbalanced (as previously seen with DEXE reaching 1.8). Instead, it has been kept in a near 1:1 balance.
This suggests that although profit-taking may have caused some longs to be exited (increasing shorts), the buy-support is still very strong (the longs are not weak). The main forces are not lopsidedly trying to lure longs; rather, they are conducting a thorough exchange of positions.
This kind of balance is fragile. Once the price shows a clear direction (breaks upward or breaks down), the other side will quickly cut losses, triggering intense volatility. The current balance is in a “building-up” phase.
$ESPORTS Trend established—ride the momentum and go long, taking advantage of the uptrend’s inertia to push higher! The current market sentiment is extremely euphoric, with capital疯狂抢筹. Don’t get scared by heights—follow the trend. Wait for a brief intraday pullback to confirm support (if the pullback doesn’t break the short-term moving average), then enter a long position immediately. Targets: break above the previous high—enjoy the premium created by the bubble.
$DEXE Volume breakout with a perfect bullish moving-average alignment After going through a period of base consolidation, today the price pulled out a strong-bodied bullish long candle, directly breaking through all prior resistance levels and setting a new recent high.
Trading volume has expanded significantly—several times the average volume in the past few days. This is a classic volume breakout, indicating that incremental funds have stepped in to snap up shares.
The short-term moving averages show a perfect bullish alignment with an upward divergence, forming the first strong support line. As long as the price does not fall below the key moving averages, the uptrend remains intact. Back to breakeven soon—go for it, go go go
$CL The K-line structure shows that after the price broke below the 90 level, it then accelerated into a sharp selloff with a large bearish candle. The low reached 87.75. Such a sudden drop is typically a sign of panic selling and an attempt to exit positions—what is known as “capitulation” (a surrender-style selloff).
WTI crude oil’s recent trend has mainly been driven by macroeconomic data. Recently, weak U.S. manufacturing PMI figures have intensified market concerns about an economic downturn and reduced demand, which is the core reason behind the sharp drop in oil prices.
As the summer driving season approaches its end, traditional oil demand typically enters a slower period after September. This, from a fundamentals perspective, limits how high any rebound can go. Therefore, the current strategy should be to look for short-term mean-reversion rebounds, while the medium- to long-term outlook remains bearish.
Although OPEC+ is trying to support oil prices through production cuts, in the face of negative demand-side factors, the positive supply-side effects are temporarily being ignored by the market. However, once prices fall to near the cost line (such as the 80–85 range), oil-producing countries may intervene verbally or take actual action, which would provide strong support.
$SOL is falling while trading volume expands, indicating that panic sell orders are pouring out. The current sideways consolidation looks more like a continuation of the decline rather than a bottoming out and stabilizing. As long as it cannot regain a position above MA7 with increased volume, the bearish trend will not change.
Solana’s recent ecosystem development has been rapid, especially the explosive growth in the Meme coin and DePIN sectors, which has attracted a large amount of traffic. However, such high activity often comes with high inflation and unlock pressure.
The market is always hanging over the sword of Damocles of the FTX estate selling SOL. Whenever the price rebounds to a certain level, worries about potential large sell orders intensify, limiting the upside space for longs.
Despite performance improvements, Solana’s historical downtime issues remain a concern for large institutional capital allocating at scale. Against the backdrop of tighter macro liquidity, funds are more inclined to seek safety rather than chase high-risk, high-beta assets.
$SPCX Go short on short-term rallies; stay defensive and wait. The current market shows a typical “retail investors stubbornly hold on” pattern, and the technicals are in a downward channel. Maintain a bearish mindset and watch for potential entry opportunities when the price rebounds and is rejected by short-term moving averages overhead; do not be misled by minor intraday rebounds and blindly chase longs.
In the near term, although SpaceX’s Starship test progress has gone smoothly, valuations in the primary market (private placement market) have not seen an explosive surge. Instead, due to high macro interest rates, the valuations of tech growth stocks are being pressured.
Previously, SPCX may have generated a wave of sentiment premium due to news about Musk (such as xAI financing, etc.). As the hype fades, the price will inevitably revert toward net asset value. The current decline is precisely the correction of the earlier overvalued premium.
$ETH Decapitating Guillotine, all moving averages are suppressing Overall, the technical breakdown downward has established a short-term bearish trend, while on the funding side, retail investors’ excessive bullishness provides ample fuel for the decline (the counterparty book). Coupled with the lack of any strong new fundamental catalyst, ETH is very likely to remain in a weak range-bound consolidation in the near term or further dip to search for support.
Follow the technical trend: use retail investors’ long sentiment as a contrarian indicator, and when the rebound lacks strength, decisively set up short positions.
After the price touched the 1909 high, it quickly pulled back. Today, moreover, a long-bodied bearish candle appeared, directly breaking through the prior consolidation range (around the 1880 area).
Current price (1865.90) is trading below all short-term moving averages (MA7, MA25, MA99). MA7 (1874) and MA25 (1882) have already formed a death cross above and are now acting as a heavy pressure cover.
During the decline, trading volume has been moderately expanding, indicating that panic selling is flowing out. The current sideways consolidation looks more like a bearish continuation than a bottoming and stabilization. As long as it cannot reclaim the area above MA7 with increased volume, the bearish trend will not change.#
$BANK put in Clear signs that retail investors are taking the bait; big players are cautious This is a very typical signal of a “retail-long trap.” After the price is boosted sharply, most retail accounts choose to chase longs, while big players remain cautious or even set up short positions. This suggests that major funds are skeptical about the sustainability of the current high level, and are using retail investors’ FOMO to distribute or hedge. In this kind of capital structure, any rebound with low volume is very likely to become an opportunity for the main force to add to shorts.
Earlier, BANK surged in price due to the RWA concept and the heat of the BTC ecosystem (corresponding to a 677% rise over 90 days in the chart). But now the market has entered an “earnings verification period,” and investors are starting to worry whether its TVL’s total locked value growth can continue to justify the elevated valuation.
$SKHYNIX Although SK Hynix’s fundamentals remain strong and the company—benefiting as an AI core—stands to gain, the short-term trading structure is very poor. Retail investors’ consensus bullishness is often a sign that the market has topped or is set to continue falling. Coupled with a technical breakdown pattern, it is unwise to blindly trust “support.” Instead, follow the main players’ intentions and guard against further downside risk.
The sharp rise in the stock price earlier has already priced in part of the earnings growth expectations driven by HBM.
Although SK Hynix currently holds a dominant position in the HBM market, Micron (MU) and Samsung are aggressively playing catch-up. The market is beginning to worry that future market share could be diluted and that heavy capital expenditures may impact profit margins.
Recently, technology stocks overall have faced pullback pressure—especially the semiconductor sector—as funds rotate between “high” and “low.” As a prior leader that surged significantly, SK Hynix is likely to become a target for profit-taking.
