PANews reported on August 18th that according to a QCP Capital report, the price of BTC fell from $118,000 to $115,000 and ETH fell from $4,500 to $4,300, resulting in the liquidation of more than $400 million in long positions. This continued the 5% correction trend last week, when the liquidation amount in the DeFi field exceeded $1 billion, and the market saw profit-taking.

Funding rates have turned negative, and risk reversals are favoring put options, indicating a cautious market ahead of the Jackson Hole meeting. However, institutional demand remained strong, with Metaplanet increasing its holdings by 775 BTC over the weekend. Despite the unexpectedly strong PPI data (0.9% vs. 0.2%), which heightened uncertainty surrounding Federal Reserve policy, BTC prices remained within the $112,000 to $120,000 range. The market is focused on whether Fed Chairman Powell's speech will break the current range, or whether continued institutional accumulation will pave the way for further gains.

(Photo by Paul Natkin/Getty Images) Getty Images Singer Lou Gramm has a vivid memory of recording the ballad “Waiting for a Girl Like You” at New York City’s Electric Lady Studio for his band Foreigner more than 40 years ago. Gramm was adding his vocals for the track in the control room on the other side of the glass when he noticed a beautiful woman walking through the door. “She sits on the sofa in front of the board,” he says. “She looked at me while I was singing. And every now and then, she had a little smile on her face. I’m not sure what that was, but it was driving me crazy. “And at the end of the song, when I’m singing the ad-libs and stuff like that, she gets up,” he continues. “She gives me a little smile and walks out of the room. And when the song ended, I would look up every now and then to see where Mick [Jones] and Mutt [Lange] were, and they were pushing buttons and turning knobs. They were not aware that she was even in the room. So when the song ended, I said, ‘Guys, who was that woman who walked in? She was beautiful.’ And they looked at each other, and they went, ‘What are you talking about? We didn’t see anything.’ But you know what? I think they put her up to it. Doesn’t that sound more like them?” “Waiting for a Girl Like You” became a massive hit in 1981 for Foreigner off their album 4, which peaked at number one on the Billboard chart for 10 weeks and…
