Talking about the trading plan: Mainly focusing on intraday trades, the trend is pretty clear. The previous surge caught both bears and bulls off guard. Since July, we've been pointing out that 57K is the bottom, consistently emphasizing going long and buying the dips. The main direction of looking bullish was correct, and it shouldn't lead my followers to make big mistakes. Currently, the short-term market is consolidating at a high level after a rapid surge. This kind of consolidation is not recommended for trying to short the top. If you really want to bet on shorts, try doing it after each rapid new high, but timing is key. There are several scenarios where you can test the waters, but this kind of left-side trading has its pros and cons. (Won’t elaborate here.) Today's BTC plan is to go long around the 774-768 pullback area. Gold (XAU) is showing a reversal on the hourly chart, mainly short for now, with the stop-loss at a breakout of new highs. On the macro side, the current outlook is positive, with no major bearish news for now. Short-term bearish news could provide opportunities for pullbacks, not signals for a peak reversal. The only potential bearish event this week is Fed Chair Waller’s first speech at the Jackson Hole Global Central Bank Annual Meeting on Friday. From a swing trading perspective, if BTC pulls back to 73K-72K, it’s another chance to get back in. [The above is just personal opinion and does not constitute any investment advice.] $BTC $XAU
