$ALPINE - Mcap 8.4M$ - 24h Sentiment +1.70 Bullish

SC02 M1 - pending Long order. Entry lies within LVN + meets simplification with a previously profitable Long order, the current support zone is around 1.95% wide. The uptrend has lasted 1 hour 47 minutes, with the largest recorded price increase at 9.67%. If price loses this support zone, the trend will likely reverse downward.

Bitcoin pauses around $64,000 as rising U.S. yields and oil prices weigh on risk appetite

📉 Bitcoin climbed from around $62,600 to $64,600 before easing back toward $64,000–$64,200, while Nasdaq 100 futures fell roughly 1.1% and broader market sentiment turned more cautious.

📈 Macro pressure came from rising U.S. Treasury yields, while Brent crude returned to the $91–$94 range after the U.S.–Iran ceasefire expired without a new agreement. The move revived inflation concerns and added pressure on risk assets.

🪙 BTC continues to hold up better than many altcoins, suggesting capital remains concentrated in more liquid, higher-quality assets. However, funding rates have reached their highest level in roughly 20 months, indicating increasingly crowded Long positioning and greater liquidation risk if prices reverse.

📅 July FOMC minutes and a White House meeting with crypto executives on August 19 could provide the next catalyst for Bitcoin to break out of its current range.

$SKHYNIX – Liquidation Map (7 Days) – Current Price 1,125

🔎 The 7-day liquidation map shows relatively balanced long-liquidation exposure below and short-liquidation exposure above, both around $85–90 million, with downside liquidity slightly larger. However, the largest nearby individual liquidation cluster sits immediately above the current price, creating potential upside attraction if current levels hold.

📉 Below the market, nearby long-liquidation liquidity is concentrated around 1,115.7–1,103.8 before becoming denser across 1,091.9–1,080. Further clusters appear around 1,068.1–1,044.3. Losing 1,115.7 would increase the probability of a sweep toward 1,103.8–1,091.9.

📈 Above the market, a major short-liquidation cluster stands out near 1,132.7, representing one of the largest individual bars on the map. Additional liquidity builds around 1,163.3–1,175.2 and especially across 1,199–1,224.5. A break above 1,132.7 would bring 1,163.3–1,175.2 into focus.

🧭 The near-term setup is relatively balanced. Holding above 1,125 and breaking 1,132.7 would tilt the setup toward a short-liquidation sweep into 1,163.3–1,175.2, while losing 1,115.7 would increase downside risk toward 1,103.8–1,091.9.

Home Depot Beats Q2 Expectations but Maintains Guidance as Housing Market Remains Weak

🏠 Home Depot reported Q2 revenue of $47.86 billion, up 5.7% year over year and above market expectations. Adjusted EPS came in at $4.92, beating the $4.73 consensus estimate.

📈 Comparable sales rose 1.7%, including a 1.3% increase in the U.S., suggesting demand for home repair and maintenance remains relatively resilient despite subdued housing activity.

🛒 Transactions declined by about 1% while the average ticket increased, indicating consumers are still spending but remain more selective in a high-interest-rate environment.

⚠️ Despite the earnings beat, Home Depot kept its 2026 guidance unchanged. This suggests the near-term outlook remains cautious, with current results not yet sufficient to confirm a clear recovery cycle in the U.S. housing market.

$ZEC – Liquidation Map (7 Days) – Current Price 505.1

🔎 The 7-day liquidation map shows roughly $80 million in long liquidations below the current price, far exceeding approximately $25 million in short liquidations above. The liquidity structure therefore leans strongly to the downside, while the largest long-liquidation cluster also sits immediately below the market.

📉 Below the market, long-liquidation liquidity is heavily concentrated around 503.4–500.4, with the cluster near 503.4 standing out as one of the largest on the entire map. Additional downside liquidity remains dense across 497.4–491.4 and especially around 481.8–475.8. Losing 503.4 would increase the probability of a sweep toward 500.4–497.4.

📈 Above the market, nearby short-liquidation liquidity remains relatively light across 515.4–519 before increasing significantly around 522–525. Another major cluster sits around 531–534. A break above 519 would bring 522–525 into focus, followed by 531–534.

🧭 The near-term setup favors the downside because total long-liquidation exposure below is roughly three times larger and the 503.4 cluster sits very close. Losing 503.4 would strengthen the probability of a move toward 500.4–497.4, while holding current levels and breaking 519 would shift attention toward short liquidations across 522–525.

Asian stocks reverse course as oil and bond yields climb

📉 Asian equities weakened on August 18, with South Korea’s KOSPI erasing nearly all of an early gain of more than 3%, while the Nikkei 225 fell around 1.6%. The MSCI Asia-Pacific ex-Japan index also slipped about 0.3%.

🛢️ Pressure increased as Brent crude held near $91.2 a barrel after the US-Iran ceasefire expired, renewing concerns over supply risks and inflation.

📈 US 30-year Treasury yields rose to their highest level in nearly 20 years, while Japan’s 10-year government bond yield reached its highest level in roughly three decades, adding further pressure on equity valuations.

⚠️ The moves suggest that near-term sentiment across Asian markets remains highly sensitive to oil prices, bond yields and geopolitical risks, even as South Korean semiconductor shares continue to show relative strength.

$SPCX – Liquidation Map (7 Days) – Current Price 143.7

🔎 The 7-day liquidation map shows roughly $105–110 million in short liquidations above the current price, slightly exceeding approximately $100–105 million in long liquidations below. The overall structure is therefore relatively balanced but modestly tilted to the upside.

📈 Above the market, short-liquidation liquidity begins building around 145.5–148.5 and becomes much denser across 149.7–152.1. The strongest clusters sit around 150.3–150.9, with additional liquidity extending toward 153.3–154.5. A break above 145.5 would increase the probability of a move toward 149.7–150.9.

📉 Below the market, the nearest long-liquidation liquidity is concentrated around 142.5–141.3 before becoming denser across 137.7–136.5. Additional major clusters sit around 134.1–132.9. Losing 142.5 would increase the probability of a sweep toward 141.3–140.1, followed by 137.7–136.5.

🧭 The near-term setup is relatively balanced, although total short-liquidation exposure above is slightly larger. Holding above 143.7 and breaking 145.5 would shift focus toward 149.7–152.1, while losing 142.5 would strengthen the downside long-sweep scenario toward 141.3–140.1.

US–Iran Ceasefire Expires, Oil Rises Above $91 as Hormuz Risks Return

🛢️ The 60-day ceasefire between the US and Iran has expired without an extension, while Tehran said it was shifting to a “fully offensive” posture. The development has brought geopolitical risk premiums back into energy markets.

🚢 Shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has fallen sharply, from around 31 vessels a week earlier to just five on August 16 and none recorded on August 17. Brent consequently moved above $91 a barrel, while WTI traded around $85.

📈 Higher oil prices also added pressure to bond markets, with the US 30-year Treasury yield rising to around 5.31%. The dollar remains near a two-month low, while gold and Bitcoin posted modest gains, suggesting cautious sentiment rather than a broad risk-off move.

👀 Hormuz shipping activity and the August 19 FOMC minutes will be key factors to watch in the near term.

$BNB – Liquidation Map (7 Days) – Current Price 603.4

🔎 The 7-day liquidation map shows relatively balanced long-liquidation exposure below and short-liquidation exposure above, both near $60 million. However, the major downside clusters sit closer to the current price, while upside liquidity becomes significantly denser from around 617.9 onward.

📉 Below the market, long-liquidation liquidity is concentrated around 599.7–591.3, with 599.7 standing out as the strongest nearby cluster. Additional downside liquidity remains meaningful across 587.1–578.7. Losing 599.7 would increase the probability of a sweep toward 595.5–591.3.

📈 Above the market, short-liquidation liquidity begins building around 613.7–617.9 and becomes much denser across 622.1–626.3. The strongest cluster sits around 622–624, with additional liquidity extending through 630.5–638.9. A break above 613.7 would bring 617.9–622.1 into focus.

🧭 The near-term setup is relatively balanced but modestly favors an initial downside liquidity test because the 599.7 cluster sits closer. Losing 599.7 would strengthen the probability of a sweep toward 595.5–591.3, while breaking above 613.7 would shift attention toward short liquidations across 617.9–626.3.

L3Harris abruptly replaces CEO after internal investigation, LHX shares fall about 4%

🛡️ L3Harris confirmed that Christopher Kubasik stepped down as Chairman and CEO effective immediately following an independent investigation into a violation of the company’s Code of Conduct. The company stressed that the matter was unrelated to financial reporting, internal controls, customers, or business operations.

👤 Sam Mehta was appointed President and CEO. Choosing an internal executive who previously oversaw businesses accounting for most of the company’s revenue helps reduce concerns over operational disruption.

📉 LHX shares fell roughly 3–4% following the announcement, reflecting governance concerns without indicating that investors are pricing in a broader systemic issue.

📊 L3Harris also reaffirmed its full-year 2026 guidance. The stock’s next move will likely depend on whether operations remain stable and whether any additional negative details emerge from the investigation.
