According to Chaoxiang Research, Morgan Stanley's August 20 report indicates that gold has hit its fourth-quarter target price of $4,450 per ounce. From July to August, easing expectations for Federal Reserve rate hikes spurred net inflows of 70 tons into gold ETFs, reversing the 93-ton net outflow seen from May to June. The People's Bank of China purchased 60 tons of gold this year, marking its highest accumulation since 2023; Poland added 82 tons, raising total holdings to 632 tons and approaching its 700-ton target. Morgan Stanley maintains that gold prices are decoupling from the real interest rate framework. Persistent central bank buying, COMEX short positions falling to their lowest since April 2020, and fiscal concerns underlying yield curve steepening form a new structural foundation. The bank projects that gold prices could surpass $5,000 per ounce by 2027, with US inflation data serving as the main short-term volatility risk.

According to a report by Caixin, the Hong Kong High Court of Appeal rejected the sentence reduction application of Ma Zhihao, the ringleader of an online fraud and human trafficking syndicate, yesterday, upholding the original 56-month imprisonment term. During the investigation, Hong Kong police traced the criminal funds through blockchain and cryptocurrency transaction records, pinpointing key transactions involving his receipt of ransoms and illicit proceeds. It is reported that the family members of a victim paid approximately 9,527 Tether (USDT) to a cryptocurrency wallet designated by the perpetrators. Blockchain tracking records conclusively proved that 8,127 USDT flowed into an exchange account registered under Ma Zhihao’s real name and Hong Kong identity card. The assets were subsequently converted into approximately HK$63,000 and transferred to his personal HSBC bank account, serving as crucial evidence of his participation in the crimes and his financial gains. The Court of Appeal noted that, were it not constrained by the seven-year maximum sentencing limit prescribed for the District Court, the penalties faced by the defendant would have been significantly more severe.

Odaily News Trader Murphy (@Murphychen888) posted on X, stating that despite multiple bearish factors such as the U.S. stock market pullback, Strategy selling BTC, and rebounding oil prices, BTC has still not shown a significant decline, which may be related to its chip structure. Data shows that over 2 million BTC changed hands in the $62,000-$64,000 range, bringing the cost basis of a large number of holders closer together and reducing their willingness to sell in the short term.Murphy noted that BTC subsequently experienced nearly two months of low-volatility consolidation before rapidly rising from $64,000 to $75,000 within 3 days, but the chips near $63,000 did not decrease significantly, while chips in the $68,000-$74,000 range remained relatively sparse, indicating that holders in the previous concentration zone did not take profits on a large scale. Murphy expects that as the price continues to rise, the chips may gradually loosen and form a new chip density zone; if a new effective support is not formed, BTC may again test the support strength of the $62,000-$63,000 chip density zone.
