In the cryptocurrency and derivatives market, what truly shocks people is never the daily fluctuations, but rather the "heavy troops" of large funds positioned in critical price ranges.

In the development of the cryptocurrency industry, the vast majority of platforms have limited themselves to the singular channel of "buying coins and selling coins." However, as the absolute benchmark for globally compliant crypto assets, Coinbase is transcending the boundaries of traditional exchanges, evolving into a core infrastructure that connects traditional finance, digital assets, and even the next generation of the AI economy.

First, let's briefly introduce this tool, and later we will break down more details with images. When you open the footprint chart, what you see is no longer just the rise and fall results, but the real-money battle between long and short positions when a candlestick is forming. Let's go directly to the image.

Many people rush to buy coins as soon as they enter the market. When they encounter urgent financial needs, they can only sell at a loss to withdraw money. Without any reserves, their mindset collapses at the slightest market fluctuation, making it impossible to hold on to profits. Therefore, before figuring out how to make money from money, it is essential to first set aside enough living expenses for 3 to 6 months as an emergency fund.

My friends who are familiar with me understand that I have talked about this topic many times. Why do I bring it up repeatedly? Because grid trading is really reliable and is a solid way to earn stable money in investment. Previously, I only discussed the method but didn't mention which specific cryptocurrencies are suitable for trading. Today, not only will I provide more concrete information, but I will also list a few targets that I often look at, and I will share my experiences on how to set the ranges.

CPI reflects the level of inflation, but what the market truly cares about is the corresponding interest rate cut pace and changes in liquidity behind it. Gold breaking through 4400 is essentially a result driven by weakening employment, rising expectations for interest rate cuts, and inflows of capital. If tonight's CPI continues to cool, gold has the opportunity to launch an attack towards the 4500 level.

Speaking of this, one must mention the contrast with Trump. The quarterly financial report recently released by his media technology group shows that the company currently holds 9,477.16 BTC, worth approximately 557.1 million dollars, which is a quiet decrease of 65 coins compared to the 9,542.16 coins at the end of March.

Through AiCoin's real-time monitoring of "on-chain smart money," we captured a battle that can be described as a "gods' showdown" in the BTC long and short life-and-death struggle. Three top whales, with total positions exceeding 300 million dollars, simultaneously expanded their positions in the extremely narrow range of $63,400 to $63,900, where both sides are on high alert!

In the brutal jungle of cryptocurrency trading, there is always an invisible gap between retail investors and market makers—data latency. While retail investors are still watching the fluctuating candlesticks on the screen, top market makers' algorithms have already completed thousands of order cancellations and reversals through direct connections to nodes, finishing just a few milliseconds ahead. Those few milliseconds represent the profit margin that retail investors are repeatedly harvested from.

When the vast majority of retail investors are still frequently cutting losses in the consolidation range, trying to precisely "catch the bottom," the most silent yet largest funds on-chain have already completed their turnaround. The latest data from CoinShares shows that since last October, the BTC whales that have cumulatively sold off nearly 40 billion dollars have officially stopped selling.

Market focus is highly concentrated on the release of the US July CPI core monthly rate tonight (Beijing time 20:30). The institutional consensus expectation stands in stark contrast to the previous value: Consensus expectation: overall CPI month-on-month +0.1% (year-on-year 3.4%), core CPI month-on-month +0.2% (year-on-year 2.5%).

The U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF has seen a resurgence in significant capital inflow, with market liquidity noticeably recovering. According to recent market statistics, the capital inflow into BTC spot ETFs has reached several hundred million dollars, while the combined capital inflow into BTC and ETH related spot ETFs has reached about 1.1 billion dollars.

In the cryptocurrency market, intraday short-term trading is often labeled as "high risk, difficult to stabilize." Countless individuals attempt to find patterns in minute-by-minute fluctuations, only to ultimately exit the market disheartened by frequent fees and false breakouts. However, there are always exceptions. Today, we have identified a top expert in intraday short-term trading at AiCoin's "Smart Money" terminal, who has taken this practice to the extreme.
