BTC bounces 2.5%, HYPE +113% closed, XRP quadruple-bottom divergence — 18 Aug 2026

Written on 18 August 2026. Published unchanged.

BTC + Ripped 2.5% in a single day, then pulled back to the 0.236. Could this be the start of an uptrend? I’ve been faked out so many times I’ve lost confidence — but I hope so. It really feels like the sell pressure is huge and it just can’t break through. But! That’s a retail trader’s way of thinking. Isn’t this exactly when it might start to rip?

SNDK Pushed into the 0.5–0.618 zone, now taken a dip. Should I think about buying near the MA8? A textbook bull flag breakout — the MA8 is right at the 0.382 retest, so the odds are good. Alright, getting ready to go long, setting up the order. But US stocks still need care — this feels like the last dance…

ETH + Explosive move plus a 0.618 retest. Very healthy structure, still building up. Nothing to do here.

XYZ100 + Forgot to take profit at the top yesterday — such an obvious overbought… ugh, lost ¥3. Now I’ve gone straight in on the 0.618 of the move up, and turning it around I see a bear flag… Going in with only half a position was really the smart call… There’s still a big bull flag underneath, so probably fine… I hope so. I already feel afraid.

HYPE Tested the MA56 and I took profit — about 113%, feels great! Now it’s testing the 0.382, just turned overbought, watching for now. Keeping an eye on the 4-hour MA56 at 56.55 for a possible entry.

SOL + Not much movement, still consolidating. No short-term overbought, healthy retest. Holding.

GOLD Seriously? Still sideways? When is my short order ever going to trigger…

ZEC + Retest is normal, but there was some short-term overbought earlier, so a bit of risk. Doesn’t affect the position. Selling on no volume.

XRP Sentiment is dead. Such a clean downtrend, what a shame. Two more days to see whether it goes oversold — I hope I get to see oversold one more time. Even if it doesn’t, in a couple of days it’ll at least be a quadruple bottom divergence on the higher timeframe. Never seen a divergence this strong.

Feels like something big is coming on XRP. Is the great Fibonacci not almighty after all?

Closed out today and it feels good — finally back to breakeven, even with no floating profit!
