BTC OG and insider whale Garrett Jin released this week’s market report, characterizing South Korea’s market rebound as a wide-range consolidation rather than a new trend. SK Hynix retested the 1.42 million won level before a consecutive rebound, closing up 5.9% at 1,593,000 won on August 13. The KOSPI has rallied 20% from its July low to enter a technical bull market, but foreign investors have not shifted to long-term holdings, and the drag from leveraged ETFs remains. Garrett Jin set the first take-profit level at $1,150 (≈1.63 million won), with the next target at $1,300 (1.85 million won. Garrett Jin also noted that gold posted its strongest weekly gain since January this week, rising 7.8% to $4,388. The rally was driven by July’s non-farm payrolls falling by 23,000 and moderate CPI data, which pushed back bets on a September rate hike. However, gold is now overbought in the short term, so a pullback would present an opportunity to add positions in batches. Bitcoin failed to react to the same macro tailwinds, remaining trapped between the $62,500 support and $65,000-$70,000 resistance. A bottoming structure since the $57,700 level is gradually forming, and Garrett Jin will wait for a pullback to enter the next buying round. On SpaceX, Garrett Jin views its recent performance as a classic case of “bad news fully priced in + short squeeze”, with the lock-up period itself acting as a washout rather than a starting point for a decline. However, the lock-up window is not over: 319 million shares will unlock on August 20, and another ~700 million shares each in September and October. The current price up to $160 is a take-profit zone, not a zone for chasing highs.
