Hacker news is just a gimmick; the real driver behind Bitcoin ($BTC) surging and then pulling back is macro data. Stronger GDP combined with sticky PCE inflation has reignited rate hike expectations, prompting the market to reprice accordingly. Within 24 hours, the total market liquidation exceeded $1.3 billion, with long liquidations accounting for as much as 86%. Long positions are too crowded, so even a slight macro shock can trigger concentrated liquidations, causing price volatility far beyond the news itself. The spot Bitcoin ETF has brought hedging power, with a single-day net inflow reaching $135 million. Institutions are treating this dip as a buying opportunity to prevent the market from evolving into a structural crash. Technically, 75,000 is a key watershed; only by firmly reclaiming 80,000 can the trend be considered reversed. Ethereum ($ETH) is playing out a completely different game. In October, Ethereum ETFs saw a net outflow of $1.35 billion, but whales quietly accumulated nearly 10,000 ETH around 2,237. The current price has fallen below multiple moving averages; 2,170 is the first line of defense. Passive fund outflows and whale accumulation are in direct opposition, and the outcome will directly impact the entire altcoin market. Platform token OKB ($OKB) shows a third pattern: trading volume continues to shrink and price is slowly declining. There is strong resistance in the 133–139 range; once it breaks below 127, the price will further test 125. Nowadays, crypto market trends are no longer determined by insider news alone; macro expectations, leveraged funds, and ETF capital flows jointly influence prices. Next, we need to see which of these three forces will turn first, *The U.S. Midterm Elections Will Reshape the Crypto Landscape*
Democrats have a 93% chance to take the House, 70% chance to take the Senate, and 70% chance to sweep both chambers; the market is already betting on a blue wave.
*Three Major Impacts on Crypto:*
1. *The CLARITY Act is dead.* It failed to pass the Senate on September 15; the new Congress means a complete reset of crypto legislation.
2. *War + Oil Price Risks.* Concerns that the U.S. might take action against Iran after the election → oil prices surge → Fed turns hawkish = bearish for $BTC.
3. *Prediction Markets Explode.* Kalshi and Polymarket both hit record trading volumes in October; election week will only get crazier.
*$BTC Perfect Storm:*
Fed officials calling for rate hikes + Binance hack last week + political uncertainty = difficult for an independent rally this week, pressured between macro and political factors.#苹果新CEO迎来iPhone18首份成绩单
The boss has something to say
Apple will release its FY2026 Q4 earnings report after the US stock market closes tonight. This is the first report for the initial launch period of the iPhone 18 Pro series, and also the first conference call hosted by the new CEO John Ternus.
I believe the focus is not on sales volume, but on two pressures. First is the rising storage costs; the surge in memory prices will directly squeeze hardware gross margins. Second is AI competition—whether the new management can present a market-convincing strategic outlook on AI. If they just rely on old strengths, the funds won’t buy in.
On the market, AAPL dipped slightly by 0.34%, xAAPL fell 0.27%. Although 72% of people are betting on exceeding expectations, funds remain cautious before the earnings report.
The impact on crypto is indirect. If Apple weakens due to cost pressures or lackluster AI, the sentiment in tech stocks will be suppressed, and risk appetite contraction will be bearish for the broader market.
BTC fell below 77,000 last night and is still hovering below. Let’s see if it can climb back above 80,000. If it can’t hold, expect a deeper correction, with resistance between 84,000 and 85,000 above. Don’t chase the rally or sell in panic; set your orders with proper stop losses.
The above analysis is time-sensitive; orders must have stop losses set. Good luck. $BTC $ETH $SOL 185,000 people were liquidated, 92% were long positions, but the whales' positions are rising
In the past 24 hours, the entire network saw liquidations of $982 million, with 185,000 people wiped out. The structure is extremely brutal: over 90% were long positions, while shorts didn't even get a taste.
$ETH is the hardest hit this round, with liquidations of $287 million, 92.4% of which were longs. BTC follows closely with $197 million liquidated, 90.6% longs. The largest single liquidation came from a Binance BTC perpetual long position, $12.03 million — a large leveraged long who bought at a high was directly taken out.
But at the same time, on-chain large holders' total BTC holdings rose to 3.03 million coins, with the fastest monthly accumulation rate since February.
ETFs are selling, whales are buying; retail traders are being liquidated, institutions are taking over.
This is not institutions dumping; it's long leverage stomping on itself. Before liquidation data clears, chasing longs is just fueling others. BTC short-term support is 81,873, ETH at 2,405; if these don't hold, they're just paper-thin.
The money you lost in liquidation has become chips for whales to accumulate. This round of cleansing is not washing out shorts, but longs without stop-losses. $LIT
Previously, when I saw "XX million tokens transferred into exchanges," my first reaction was to expect a dump. This conditioned reflex has been proven wrong more than once. So for this message today, I won't jump to conclusions.
3.9 million LIT tokens, worth 12.21 million USD, have entered several CEXs including OKX. OKX spot trading volume in 24 hours is only 3.34 million tokens, so this single transfer exceeds the entire daily volume. On the perpetual side, open interest is 7.36 million tokens, with this transfer accounting for 53%.
Price is 3.10, down 5.2% in 24 hours, right at the 24h low of 3.0949. But at 19:00, the hourly volume was only 60,000 tokens, while the highest volume last night was 438,000. This is a gradual decline, not a dump.
From my experience, transferring tokens to exchanges is just moving bullets into the chamber; whether the trigger is pulled depends on other signals. If they really want to sell, volume will show up first. Right now, volume hasn't appeared, and the price is slowly leaking down—
#美国中期选举在即，哪些结果值得关注？ The previous article said there wasn't much suspense.
After thinking again, there are two things that might be underestimated.
One is related to $TRUMP.
The other is related to the entire crypto industry's legislation.
First, the Democrats had said before that if they take Congress, they would investigate Trump's family's crypto business.
Trump Coin was also named, but the White House said this was unfounded.
In the period before the dinner, I think the news about Trump Coin might be even more lively than its price.
Second, the CLARITY Act (Crypto Market Structure Act) got stuck in the Senate in September. If it doesn't pass during this lame-duck period between the election and the new Congress taking office, it will have to start all over again.
Crypto companies have spent $233 million on the election this time,
accounting for more than 30% of corporate political donations. The money is spent, but whether the bill passes or not is what the crypto industry is really waiting for.
During the last midterm election, I also saw that the real thing that pushed the crypto price down that week was not the votes but the FTX collapse. So this time, I'm actually more afraid of things outside the election, like Israeli media saying Netanyahu is urging Trump to attack Iran after the election. Neither the White House nor Israel has responded.
Look at other hot $BTC futures premiums, which are now only at interest rate levels; those leveraged long buyers are almost absent.

#美国中期选举在即，哪些结果值得关注？ $SNDK
11%, starting next year. The South Korean Ministry of Finance classifies US stock perpetuals as overseas stock derivatives, with earnings taxed at an 11% capital gains rate, and an annual withholding of 2.5 million KRW. From January to August this year, 19 global exchanges traded $1 trillion worth of these products.
In theory, this is directly taking money from South Korean retail investors' pockets. The South Korean Financial Services Commission does not allow domestic exchanges to offer perpetuals; to trade, one must transfer coins to overseas exchanges. It was originally a gray area, but now it's openly taxed.
However, on OKX, the SNDK token is still at 1178, up 1% in 24 hours, with open interest at $109 million unchanged, and a positive fee rate of 0.0187%. At 19:00, the hourly volume was only 5,300 contracts, less than half of the 21,000 at noon.
My view: The tax won't change direction but will change holding duration. Quick money hands will be driven away, leaving those who hold longer, which will reduce volatility rather than explode it. The real signal to watch is when open interest starts to drop, indicating positions are withdrawing from South Korea. That hasn't happened yet.
#美国中期选举在即，哪些结果值得关注？ went all in with all my XP
I bet No, and the underlying logic behind this judgment is not that the financial report is bad; on the contrary, the financial data is very strong.
First, the AI storage theme had already experienced a big rally before the financial report, so the positive news was largely priced in by the market, turning the good news into bad news upon realization.
Second, although the current revenue and orders are outstanding, storage is a cyclical sector. The market will A single on-chain transaction shows only 4 million USD, but what it reveals is bigger than the amount.
The Binance hacker address transferred about 4 million USD into three Binance deposit addresses. These three addresses are not controlled by Binance but belong to third-party exchanges using Binance's liquidity and custody services.
Breaking it down: this path is open, and it leads to the layer of "I don’t build depth myself, I directly borrow Binance’s." These platforms place users’ coins in positions accessible through Binance’s channels. Users see one exchange, but on-chain there are several additional steps.
Why is this worth monitoring? Because hackers don’t lack addresses; what they lack is an exit that can convert on-chain assets into usable liquidity. Centralized exchange deposit addresses are that exit. 4 million USD isn’t much, but it proves the exit is still being repeatedly tested.
The judgment is simple: the $BNB market itself won’t move because of this 4 million, but the risk for small and medium platforms relying on borrowed channels is structurally compounded. Your Binance account is managed by Binance, but who manages the coins you place in "third parties borrowing Binance liquidity"? No one asked this question before incidents happened.
One point worth considering: in this kind of news, only the amounts change each time; the structure never does.20261102
3. Last year, Tether was called out by rating agencies for having more BTC than reserves
1. Core data from Tether's latest attestation report for Q3 2026 (as of September 30, 2026):
Total assets: approximately $191.45 billion
Total liabilities: approximately $183.5 billion (almost entirely issued USDT)
Excess reserves (reserves/buffer): approximately $7.95 billion (total assets - total liabilities)
Cash and cash equivalents (including treasury bonds, repos, etc.): approximately $139.6 billion (about 73% of total assets)
Bitcoin holdings: approximately $8.37 billion
Gold: approximately $19.08 billion
Net operating profit for nine months: $4.5 billion (mainly from treasury bond interest)
2. If Bitcoin price drops sharply (e.g., by 30%), the market value of Bitcoin holdings would shrink by about $2.5 billion, which would directly erode or even consume most of the reserves. In the previous quarter, when Bitcoin and gold prices fell, reserves were halved to about $4.1 billion
3. Holding USDT essentially means holding a debt claim against Tether; 1 USDT can be redeemed for 1 USD (or equivalent assets), with over 70% backed by highly liquid assets
4. Don't treat USDT as cash; always monitor the reserves. If they fall below $4.1 billion, redeem for real USD
4. This time, the Federal Reserve meeting held the interest rate at 3.75% to$BTC current market has fully priced in the crypto-friendly expectations from Trump, with the expectation gap significantly narrowing. The core positive framework focuses on four aspects: stablecoin legislation, SEC regulatory shift, national Bitcoin reserves, and mining deregulation. However, the bill's implementation requires synchronized progress in both the House and Senate, facing obvious congressional political resistance.
The midterm elections are a critical watershed: if the Republican Party loses control of the Senate, lenient bills are likely to be shelved, and the previously hyped positive expectations will quickly fade, making BTC vulnerable to expectation-driven sell-offs; if both chambers are held, the regulatory advancement pace will accelerate, reactivating narratives around ETF expansion and spot derivatives liberalization, driving institutional capital inflows.
Hidden risk points are also prominent: Trump's fiscal expansion pushing up U.S. Treasury yields will suppress risk asset valuations, and this pressure on BTC often outweighs the benefits of crypto policy support. Meanwhile, campaign rhetoric tends to be hype-driven, with slow policy implementation and under-delivery being frequent black swan events.
In the short term, this event is a slow variable and cannot break BTC's current consolidation structure; the market will primarily follow U.S. Treasury yields and Federal Reserve interest rate guidance. Only major news such as congressional voting results or crypto-specific bill approvals will trigger independent market impulses. $BTC Trump Election and Market Impact Report
Currently, the US is focused on the midterm congressional elections. The latest polls show Trump's support rate has fallen to 31%, the lowest in his current term. Traditional rural strongholds are noticeably loosening. Inflation and rising oil prices are the core reasons for voter dissatisfaction. The Republican Party's overall election prospects are under pressure, with the Democratic Party slightly leading in national polls.
On the policy front, during the campaign, Trump emphasized a crypto-friendly stance, promising to ease crypto regulations, replace the SEC head, and establish a stablecoin framework. These expectations once drove Bitcoin to rally on election optimism; however, the implementation pace after taking office has been slow, and the benefits have gradually been realized, with the market having already priced this in.
From a market perspective: In the short term, there is no new major election news, and the "Trump trade" hype has cooled, no longer being the main driver for BTC. If the Republicans lose the midterms, the market will interpret it as a hindrance to future policy progress, which could suppress risk appetite for crypto assets; if they hold both chambers, expectations for looser regulation will heat up again.
Currently, this is a news vacuum period. This event is a medium- to long-term variable and is unlikely to reverse BTC's volatile structure in the short term. The market will prioritize following the Federal Reserve's interest rates and US Treasury liquidity. To be honest, when I saw this news, my first reaction was a cautious impulse of "the company is funding it, so what am I afraid of?" I used to easily take corporate actions as guarantees for the market, but later I realized that a company's capital arrangements are a different matter from whether my contract can withstand volatility.
According to PANews on November 2, Metaplanet repurchased 96,447,400 common shares from October 14 to 31, spending about ¥25.269 billion. The previously approved repurchase limit was 200 million shares and ¥60 billion, with a deadline of October 13, 2027.
My judgment is that this is more of a shareholder-level news and cannot be directly counted as Bitcoin buying pressure. The money is used to buy its own stock, not coins; the repurchase limit is also not the same as money already spent. The easiest misconception is to interpret every move of a Bitcoin treasury company as positive for the coin price by ordinary players.
This reminds me of the atmosphere where "just touching a hot narrative can make it rise." If the market interprets stock buybacks as a floor for the coin price, then sentiment might run ahead of facts. This is my speculation, not a guarantee given by the announcement.
Now I follow two rules: first, see what the funds actually bought, then judge who the news affects; don't increase leverage temporarily just because of a corporate announcement, office workers should protect their sleep first. Have you ever mistaken company good news as a coin price signal and fallen into a trap? Would you be willing to share a rule to prevent yourself from chasing news?Don't be fooled by the sideways volatility these past few days; $BTC is not stabilizing at all, it's undergoing chronic bleeding. On the surface, it looks like a divergence between capital and market trends, but essentially, American institutional investors are completely lying flat, combined with the Davis double whammy where miners could dump at any time.
Looking at $BTC, the most fatal detail is that the Coinbase premium index has been negative for 38 consecutive days, hitting the lowest point since the 2022 FTX crash. This indicates that domestic US capital has no buying intention, and the over $600 million net outflow on the ETF day is ironclad proof. Even more concerning is the miner data: October revenue hit an eleven-month high, but revenue per unit of computing power plummeted by 17.5%. The sharp drop in single output means miner costs have surged, and in a high-interest environment, miners could become the harshest dumping force at any time just to pay electricity bills.
Looking at $ETH, it remains a hopeless follower. With $BTC losing US institutional support, $ETH will only fall harder. The ecosystem has no new highlights, no capital support, and it panics at the slightest market weakness. Keep your hands off and don't catch falling knives.
Looking at $XAUT, gold is the only reasonable place in the current macro chaos. Inflation remains sticky, the upcoming non-farm payroll data will likely disappoint, and expectations of sustained high interest rates are firmly suppressing risk assets. Safe-haven funds and central bank purchases are all hiding in gold, whose certainty far surpasses that of the crypto world.
In summary, the current divergence is the main force covering up the truth of capital withdrawal. Before the non-farm payroll data is released, don't be the bag holder for miners and Wall Street. #BTC持续承压，资金与市场走势出现分歧 $HYPE has a major move today, with $224 million unstaked, but I'm not in a hurry to be bearish.
On November 2, on-chain monitoring found that 15 wallets suspected to be related to Paradigm have successively unstaked about 2.55 million HYPE over the past two days, accounting for about 17.85% of their remaining staked amount.
This amount is indeed significant, but unstaking does not equal selling.
A few weeks ago, Paradigm made a similar move, later re-aggregating and restaking the tokens. Whether this will repeat remains to be seen by watching on-chain transfers.
In the market, HYPE is around $86.63, down 1.8% in 24 hours, with a trading volume of about $1.18 billion, down about 15% from the previous day.
What I think is more worth noting is that Hyperliquid's protocol revenue in the past 30 days is still about $65.11 million, and the revenue is directly linked to HYPE buybacks.
Compared to other perpetual contract platforms, this is its advantage. But large holders unstaking, future unlocks, and competitive pressure also cannot be ignored.
My judgment: fundamentals have not deteriorated yet, but short-term chip risk is rising.
For now, I won't chase, nor assume a crash just because of unstaking. The key going forward is to see whether these 2.55 million HYPE are restaked, transferred to exchanges, or actually sold.

#OKXOrbitTopics . A reminder to everyone: QQQ has dropped to support!
The strong support for the Nasdaq index QQQ is around 685, with a potential rebound to 710. I'm ready to buy.
However, for the short term, I prefer to hold long term. Its 40-year average growth is 14%, meaning 1 million can earn 140,000 in a year. Buying enough can lead to retirement.
If it's long term, you'd better not do contracts, just spot, because the funding rate fee of 12% per year will eat up your profits. We've been lacking a good opportunity to enter QQQ or QQQM at a favorable position, and now it has come!

Fighting the election week hard with 5x leverage, finally smiling tonight 🤡
Monday closing. At noon I was still complaining about all the altcoins being green, but after the whole afternoon, the market gave me a big reversal!
Check out this "desperate counterattack":
📈 Chart 1: $NIGHT short position, flying against the trend, gained **+14.67%**!
📈 Chart 2: $LIT short position, also followed the rhythm, steady +12.66%!
📈 Chart 3: $EDEN short position, slight profit +2.73%. Only $ZEC is still slightly losing.
The screen full of red numbers looks so good.
💡 Monday macro review:
Why could we turn it around today? Because this week is a super macro week with "elections + interest rate decisions," causing huge volatility.
If I had used 100x leverage before, I would have definitely panicked and cut losses when LIT rebounded a bit at noon. But using 5x leverage gave me enough margin for error, allowing me to hold on until the trend emerged. This proves again: before a major macro storm, lowering leverage and keeping enough bullets is the only way for retail traders to survive.
💬 Brothers, urgent vote tonight:
1. NIGHT and LIT made over ten points, should we just take profits now?

Once replenished, the buying pressure will instantly disappear, and then the coins will weaken or follow the general trend.
Stolen small coins will definitely be strong first and then weaken.

Decentralized storage is competing with a deeply established industry built around centralized cloud providers. Filecoin's proposition is to create a market for storage backed by cryptographic verification rather than relying entirely on conventional trust arrangements. However, available storage capacity is not the same as paying customer demand. Real adoption, retrieval performance, storage costs, and recurring business usage will determine how competitive this model becomes.The main theme of the market on November 2nd is the coexistence of the "aftershock pricing" of the Binance incident and a defensive stance ahead of macro events. Binance replenished 95% of assets and resumed withdrawals, alleviating the most urgent liquidity shock, with BTC and ETH rebounding consecutively; however, large ETF outflows, Coinbase negative premium, and the fear index lingering around 37 indicate that institutional and retail demand have not yet synchronized their recovery. Whether BTC can reclaim and hold above $80,000 is the first threshold to judge the quality of the rebound; meanwhile, tomorrow's midterm elections, this Friday's non-farm payroll data, and MSCI's index decisions constitute the most important external variables in the coming trading days.
#加密行业协同守护资产安全 Binance is still patching that 6.4 billion hole, $BTC has been pulled back from 76,000 to 78,000, the panic index has dropped to 35, and a large chunk of leveraged longs have just been wiped out. ETFs are selling, whales are buying, BlackRock's IBIT is absorbing funds against the trend, and the accumulation speed of large addresses is actually the fastest since February.
$ETH has bounced back to around 2,300, but spot ETFs have lost value for five consecutive days, and institutions almost only recognize Bitcoin, not Ethereum. BNB withdrawals have resumed, but trust is something that takes much longer to rebuild than on-chain transfers.
The US stock market is even more straightforward: last Friday, the Nasdaq just hit its largest single-day drop since June, semiconductor stocks collectively rebounded in pre-market trading, SK Hynix rose nearly 5%, and storage and AI chips are all in recovery. The A-shares market is also reshuffling, with media, brokerages, and liquor stocks leading gains, as funds pull out from high-level tech hardware to take a breather in undervalued sectors.
The money hasn't fled; it has just moved to a more comfortable seat amid the panic.The $78,000 in the evening didn't hold, and BTC's latest hourly candle has closed below it. I am withdrawing my judgment that the support is effective and remain on the sidelines. The volume on the decline is slightly higher than the previous hour, but the 4-hour chart has not yet completed a new round of confirmation, so I'm not rushing to short.
If the rebound fails to reclaim $78,000, I will turn bearish; if the hourly volume surges and closes back above $78,350, I will reassess the weakness. Tonight at 23:00 Beijing time, there is ISM manufacturing data; do not treat expectations as results before the release.
$BTC #BTC冲高回落，市场轮动开始了吗？ A theft of 18,000 BTC is being cashed out at the slowest pace.
The latest step is 28 BTC, about 2.2 million USD, split into 18 CoinJoin mixes since November 1. This accounts for only 0.15% of the total stolen amount. But this is not a mistake; it's a rhythm: some ETH was first converted to BTC before entering the mixing pool, with a unified path, indicating someone is orchestrating the overall operation.
What’s worth noting is the speed. Less than four days after the theft, the funds passed through about 12,000 wallets across 11 blockchains, with over 40,000 transactions. The starting point was the Tron chain, first cross-chain, then coin swaps, then dispersion. The directly stolen 18,270 BTC have been dispersed into 19 addresses—19 is to make single address anomalies less conspicuous.
But on-chain there is no loss of control. Related addresses still hold about 3.24 billion USD, with another approximately 2.85 billion USD frozen or seized. Chips worth more than double the frozen amount are still visible on the surface, unable to move and unwilling to move. The 28 BTC mixed, relative to the 3.24 billion stock, looks more like a channel test.
In the short term, BTC will not be pressured by this news. The real impact is medium-term: if the 19 addresses continue to send coins out with increasing scale each time, that would be a precursor to selling pressure.
One question remains: frozen assets are approaching the freely held amount, leaving only the choices to continue slowly laundering or to stay put and wait for the heat to pass. Which do you bet on? I have considered using prediction markets to hedge Bitcoin positions, but then got stuck on the settlement conditions. Regular trading focuses on price, but this has to see whether a certain event counts as having occurred at expiration. Even if you buy a put option, if the coin price drops midway but the condition isn't ultimately met, you might not be able to recover the loss. The odds look like probabilities, but they actually mix in liquidity and participant sentiment. I haven't used it yet; just understanding the rules feels a bit like searching for the fine print hidden in a contract.Hackers stole 908,793 PROM tokens worth nearly $5 million, but in the end only received $71 worth of ETH.

According to Bitquery, the $UNI $ETH pool was almost drained, and bots kept repurchasing PROM within the same block, then reselling it.
The $5 million is just an estimate, not actual cash in the pool. The book price is far from the actual sale price. What do you think?Two gold cycle charts, but the conclusions are completely different!
The first one is from foreign analyst Northstar69 (January 30, 2026, TradingView): Gold breaks through a 45-year resistance, the super bull market is expected to continue, with a long-term target of $16,000!
The second is my amateur analysis: Gold at $5,500 may have already peaked, and the future will enter a long 4–5 year bear market! $XAU Let's start with a counterintuitive fact: $INIT's chain resumed this afternoon, but the token continued to drop.
Initia officially announced at 13:38 that L1 and its rollup resumed operations, with withdrawal limits and ongoing processing delays. On 10-23, an infinite minting vulnerability drained 2.6 million USD, and on 10-25 CryptoSlate reported that the USDC cross-chain bridge reserve was down to just 63 USD.
At the time of the announcement, the price was 0.1675, then it dropped steadily to 0.14727 by 18:00 (the 24h low), falling another 12% after the announcement; it started to rebound at 19:00 and is now at 0.1588, still 22% below yesterday noon's 0.20381. Binance shows 0.1562, Bybit 0.1554 at similar prices, so it’s not an OKX flash crash.
Three numbers to watch: 1) 2.6 million USD equals 7.7% of $INIT’s market cap of 33.86 million; 2) There is no INIT spot market on OKX, only perpetual contracts, and the funding rates for 8 periods have stayed within ±0.01%, indicating no long liquidations but rather people withdrawing themselves; 3) Open interest dropped from 1.67 million at 11:00 to 1.29 million at 18:00, a 23% decrease, with both price and positions falling together.
The market is not short of stories where good news is already priced in; what’s missing is who will still hold after the realization. Do you dare to hold $INIT?#Огляд фінансової звітності Palantir: чи зможе високий ріст підтримати високу оцінку Nonfarm payrolls are coming, will the December rate hike change?
This time, what the crypto community fears most might be: employment not strong enough to reassure, but inflation high enough that the Fed dares not ease.
At 21:30 Beijing time on November 6, the US will release October nonfarm payrolls. Last month, new jobs added were only 29,000, with an unemployment rate of 4.2%; but September's core PCE was still up 3.1% year-on-year and rose 0.3% month-on-month, so inflation pressure hasn't gone away.
What’s more noteworthy is that although the Fed kept rates unchanged at 3.75%–4.00% in October, two members supported a 25 basis point hike. The disagreement over rate hikes is now on the table.
My view is, if employment clearly warms up this time and wage growth is also strong, expectations for a December rate hike may heat up, pushing US Treasury yields and the dollar higher, which would put pressure on BTC. Conversely, weaker employment might ease rate hike concerns, but if it’s weak enough to trigger recession fears, risk assets might not respond well either.
So besides the new job numbers, I will also watch wages, unemployment rate, and revisions to previous data. In trading, wait for the data to land, then see how the dollar and US Treasury yields move; don’t rush to chase the first spike or drop. $ENA
Stablecoin growth does not automatically translate into sustainable protocol revenue. Ethena’s synthetic-dollar model depends on collateral management, hedging mechanisms, and market conditions that can change sharply during periods of stress. Attractive yields may draw capital, but their durability matters more than their initial appeal. Can Ethena maintain user confidence when funding conditions turn unfavorable and market volatility rises?#Reddit plunges nearly 30%, impact of AI search traffic diversion becomes evident Revenue rose 53%, but the stock price directly collapsed by nearly 30%! This extremely surreal scenario truly happened last night to Reddit, one of the "retail investor strongholds" in the US stock market. Let me break this down for you. Reddit just released its Q3 earnings report, with revenue of $895 million, a year-over-year surge of 53%, which looks impressive, right? But if you look at its daily active users, not only did the US domestic number not increase, it actually dropped by 2%. More critically, the company's revenue guidance for the next quarter was below expectations, triggering a stampede sell-off. Reddit's CEO came out and revealed that the culprit is "AI search" — Google’s AI summaries are directly intercepting user traffic, with an average weekly loss of over 1 million visits in October. My personal view: this is a typical case of "underlying logic being destroyed." Reddit's business model heavily depends on traffic and user dwell time; people come to read posts and argue so it can sell ads. Now, AI directly feeds answers to users, so who still visits the original site to read posts? Reddit has become a "corpus" working for AI for free. It's like your restaurant customers all sit outside eating takeout, refusing to come in and order. What's even more ridiculous is that Reddit's response is to "restrict access for non-logged-in users," which is a desperate and misguided move that will only accelerate user loss. Under the dimensionality reduction strike from AI giants, if traditional content platforms don't transform, their valuations will#OKX、ICE and Trade.xyz join forces to promote perpetual contracts entering the US compliant market Interest rate hike expectations rise, making it difficult for crypto assets to sustain a rebound
Officials have consecutively released hawkish statements, keeping the probability of rate hikes between 70% and 80%. This can only be considered a linkage at the expectation level and cannot directly determine that the market will continue to decline. The crypto market has fallen in sync with risk assets, with prices directly breaking below the 77,000 mark.
The core PCE in September remains high at 3.1%, and inflation resilience will continue to lock in the easing space, which has already been confirmed by data. ETH shows stronger resistance than BTC, with a slight short-term recovery, but it is currently not suitable to enter or increase positions.
Open your open orders and check the stop-loss price of each pending order carefully.
Only when non-farm payroll data weakens will the rate hike expectations ease; before that, it is difficult to see a decent rebound.
$BTC $ETH $SOL Throughout the day, several signals conflicted with each other.
ETFs are selling, whales are buying; some are rotating BTC into ETH, and addresses linked to the U.S. government are moving coins to exchanges; DeFi assets with income are rising, but the fear index remains at 37. No direction is "certain," and that is the market's norm.
If you chase every piece of news, the three to four hours in the afternoon are enough to open several trades. But the more you trade, the more mistakes you make.
My choice is to only act from my own positions. Around ETH 2,200 is the upper edge of the whales' cost zone, BTC 76,000–80,000 is a clear range, and UNI and AAVE are on the watchlist waiting for the right levels. When the price hits, place orders; if not, wait. I completed a few trades this afternoon; everyone can check the trade records on the homepage, where buy and sell prices are displayed, and the spread between them is mine. Each trade might only gain a few points, but accumulating trade by trade is how the account gradually grows.
I don't predict how the U.S. stock market will open tonight; I just prepare my own orders.
#交易之声：你的经验值得被听到 $BTC $ETH $SOL I hadn't figured out one thing before: Arbitrum's on-chain activity is clearly increasing, so why has the token remained stagnant for years? This week I did the math clearly.
Its tokenized fund has reached 1.1 billion USD, BENJI's money market on-chain is 56 million, USDG lending on $MORPHO is 140 million, and they are still launching stablecoin plans to attract new issuers. All the ecosystem data is positive, yet the token stays stuck at 0.16. The problem lies in distribution: the growth money doesn't reach token holders, so buying the token doesn't equal buying growth.
$OP is the same principle; income and locked tokens exist, but the token's sensitivity to the ecosystem is nearly zero. $POL is even weaker; on days when the sector slightly dips, it leads in decline, so I gave up directly.
So my next move: I won't take left-side positions on these three; I'll wait for governance proposals or buyback mechanisms to evaluate. Until then, for L2, I only pay attention to voting that doesn't require spending money.
Good data doesn't mean I can make money; without changes in the distribution mechanism, any increase benefits others.$XAU gold rebounded today, driven by three important reasons!
1. The previous decline was too large, and rebound demand is gradually being released.
In October, gold cumulatively corrected by nearly 10%, with a single-day drop of about 3.6% on October 30 alone. The continuous decline forced many investors to stop losses and exit, but as selling pressure eased, some funds began to buy at lows, and shorts also needed to cover, naturally leading to a recovery rally in gold. The funds fleeing from the neighboring side in this wave can only be valuable if the user's DEX can catch them; merely catching speculative funds will eventually return them.
$HYPE has caught the most solidly, with both its share and TVL increasing, but the trouble is that a considerable portion of its past buybacks are held in escrow accounts, not truly burned, so the circulating supply hasn't actually shrunk.
HYPE is the biggest beneficiary of this round of spillover, but the excessive hype from a few days ago will suppress the price, so don't get carried away just because the share has increased.
$ASTER is taking a product iteration and volume-grabbing approach, relying on mechanisms like HIP-3 to lower fees and attract new markets, trying to carve out a piece under Hyperliquid's shadow. However, the claim window is open until 11/28, so potential selling pressure hasn't fully dissipated, and TVL has also dropped significantly from its peak.
ASTER is working hard to capture traffic, but its chip structure and the claim window make it the most difficult to catch.
$UNI has the most stable way of capturing traffic; it is the main AMM of Robinhood Chain, with v2/v3/v4 and UniswapX all online. The batch of US stock users from Binance's spillover who want to enter compliantly directly fall into Uniswap pools.
UNI is capturing the on-chain transformation of traditional entry users and is the least likely to be unlocked and dumped. If it doesn't recover the $7 mark, I'll still consider it unpriced. This drop in ZEC is not due to the collapse of the privacy narrative, but a typical "high beta retracement": the previous large gains, profit-taking + ETF net outflows + passive liquidation of leveraged long positions combined in three phases, pushing the price from a high level back to a key support zone. When macro risk aversion heats up and BTC weakens, funds prioritize withdrawing from high-volatility assets, amplifying ZEC's elastic inverse movement. Technically, moving averages show bearish divergence, RSI is oversold but not stabilized, and the $1230–1240 range is the short-term battleground between bulls and bears—if it doesn't hold, further bottom testing will continue; if it holds, recovery can be discussed. NU7 is an expectation, not a moat; the risk of "good news being priced in upon release" still exists. In this security incident, stablecoin issuers and industry partners assisted in freezing some funds. But there is one distinction that needs to be clarified: different assets have different possible handling methods.
Some stablecoins have issuers who can freeze specific addresses through contract permissions; native assets like Bitcoin do not have an issuer who can stop coins in the same way.
This is not a minor technical difference. It determines which funds can be immediately restricted from circulation after an incident, which rely more on continuous tracking, and the collaborative handling when funds pass through related platforms.
Therefore, "having found the address" and "being able to control the funds" can be far apart. On-chain records are public and can help with tracking, but they do not automatically grant anyone the right to take back the assets.
I think the most valuable industry collaboration this time is to connect these different capabilities in a timely manner. What issuers, trading platforms, and investigative agencies can each do needs to be quickly clarified in emergency situations.
At the same time, it should be acknowledged that freezing permissions involve trade-offs. They help respond to theft but mean asset users need to understand what kind of control the issuer holds.
After experiencing large losses, it is easy for everyone to hope that all assets can be recovered with one click. Reality is not that simple. Understanding the permission structure of the asset itself is part of assessing security mechanisms and can reduce unrealistic expectations about recovery progress.
#加密行业协同守护资产安全 This week’s nonfarm payrolls, I’m prepared to pay more attention to a data point that’s often overlooked: average weekly hours worked.
In September, the average weekly hours worked by U.S. private nonfarm employees was 34.4 hours, unchanged from the previous month; average hourly earnings rose by 0.1% month-over-month. Together, these two indicators help assess changes in corporate labor demand and labor income.
When companies adjust demand, layoffs aren’t necessarily the first step. Reducing overtime and shortening shifts can also lower labor input. While headcount may remain stable temporarily, actual workload might change first.
Therefore, even if new jobs increase in October, I won’t immediately conclude that employment is heating up again. If hours worked decline and wage growth remains moderate, corporate demand for labor may not be as strong as the headline suggests.
Another combination is more worrisome: few job gains, but hours and wages remain firm. In that case, the market’s expectation of easing inflationary pressure may require more evidence.
For BTC, these distinctions affect interest rate expectations and risk appetite. The more complex the employment report, the more likely it is to see a rally right after release, then a reversal after reading the details.
I don’t want to rush to label the data in the first minute. The number of new jobs determines how lively the headline is, but hours worked, wages, and revisions make the report gradually complete. Waiting a few seconds isn’t necessarily a disadvantage.
#非农来袭，12月加息会否生变？ Palantir's revenue grew 93% last quarter, and naturally, everyone wants to see even more impressive numbers this time. I will pay special attention to whether existing customers continue to increase their orders.
The company's net dollar retention rate disclosed for the second quarter reached 157%. This metric measures the change in revenue from existing customers over time, taking into account expansions, contractions, and churn. It is very high, indicating that a significant portion of the company's growth comes from customers continuing to scale up their usage.
This is more convincing than just signing up a number of trial customers. Enterprises willing to move from small-scale deployments to more business scenarios will continue to increase their budgets.
However, 157% also raises expectations very high. After customers expand to a certain extent, how many more departments and how much more usage can be added remains to be verified. Strong performance in one quarter does not mean the same expansion rate can be maintained indefinitely.
What I want to see tonight is growth contributed jointly by new customers and expansions from existing customers. This way, the revenue sources are broader, and future performance is easier to assess.
The most frustrating part of a high valuation is that the company's results may still be excellent, but the stock price finds them not surprising enough. I acknowledge Palantir's business momentum and will also pay attention to management's description of demand for the next phase.
If customers are willing to continue allocating real budgets to expand deployments, growth will have a more solid foundation. No matter how impressive the presentation at the release event is, ultimately, it depends on customer renewals and additional orders.
#Palantir财报前瞻：高增长能否支撑高估值 The first financial report of Apple's new CEO is about to be released. I will first remind myself of one thing: the 50.1% gross margin last quarter included about a 2 percentage point boost from tariff refunds.
The same refund also had a positive impact of about $0.11 per share on earnings for that quarter.
Therefore, even if the gross margin declines quarter-over-quarter this time, it cannot be immediately concluded that the iPhone 18's profitability has worsened. First, identify the special factors from last quarter, then look at the product mix, component costs, and supply situation to make a fair judgment.
Conversely, if earnings per share continue to grow, it is also necessary to see whether the growth comes from sales performance or other financial factors. The new product launch season is lively, but changes in the financial statements are not necessarily directly related to the new products.
My expectation for Apple is that it can clearly explain its profit performance: how much better the high-end products sold, how much cost increases offset, and what pressures remain for the next quarter.
After Tim Cook took over, the market will definitely amplify every number. But using the level boosted by refunds last quarter to demand the new quarter to replicate it exactly is somewhat harsh.
This financial report is worth staying up late to read, provided the right comparison baseline is used. Otherwise, as soon as the report comes out, emotions will run their course first, and the final debate may only be about an unadjusted baseline.
#苹果新CEO迎来iPhone18首份成绩单 For this US midterm election, I will separately consider the control of Congress and the support votes for crypto legislation.
The crypto industry has already invested a lot of money in this election cycle. Among the House candidates supported by Fairshake, there are members from both parties. It aims to secure a group of legislators who are willing to promote digital asset legislation and can stay in Congress long-term.
This detail is quite realistic. The president can express support, regulatory agencies can adjust enforcement methods, but when companies truly make long-term investments, they still hope the rules can be written into law to reduce the risk of policy swings after elections.
So, besides who takes the House and who controls the Senate, I will also look at whether key legislators can be re-elected and whether industry supporters can maintain enough bipartisan cooperation space.
Of course, supporting crypto does not mean all issues can reach consensus. How to regulate trading platforms and how stablecoins operate involve different interests, and specific provisions still need negotiation.
I have expectations for this election, but I don’t want to directly translate the results into the next BTC candlestick.
Elections determine who has the power to push the agenda afterward; from scheduling to passing bills, it still takes time.
The industry has spent so much money; what’s ultimately worth testing is whether the rules have become clearer and whether companies and users can get more stable expectations. Short-term cheers are easy; long-term fulfillment is hard work.
#美国中期选举在即，哪些结果值得关注？ The entire network liquidated $60 million in shorts! Is this a reversal or a bull trap?
Just finished reviewing the latest data, the conclusion is straightforward: this is a typical "liquidity hunt," don't rush to chase the highs
Data doesn't lie
$BTC 24h liquidations $40.43 million, shorts account for as much as 83%
$ETH 24h liquidations $34.87 million, shorts nearly 70%
This indicates that the current upward momentum mainly comes from short stop-losses, not large spot buy orders. The price has returned, but the leverage hasn't; this kind of "false rally" is most easily reversed to harvest profits.
Technical risks
ETH funding rates have recently shown frequent negative spikes, which is the main players using sentiment to lure shorts. Although shorts were blasted in the short term, the heavy resistance zones remain at 82000 (BTC) and 2400 (ETH). As long as the open interest does not significantly support the rise, this is just testing the upper boundary of the consolidation range, not a breakout
#美国中期选举在即，哪些结果值得关注？ #PalantirQ3Valuation Palantir heads into its Q3 report with one of the most debated valuations in tech.
The stock closed at a record $209.05 on October 9, and its forward P/E climbed to roughly 110, up from about 74 at the end of June. Management guided Q3 revenue to $2.160–2.164 billion, and the company has beaten earnings estimates nine times running.
Great execution is already priced in, so the real question is how much room is left for the multiple to hold. There's something I never quite understood: a company loudly announces "the debt has been repaid early," which sounds solid, but in the same announcement, the money for buying coins actually increased.
Metaplanet is exactly like this. They repaid early the 8 billion yen 20th tranche bond to EVO FUND, and at the same time changed the fundraising purpose, turning the original 8 billion yen for debt repayment into buying Bitcoin, increasing this amount from 25.422 billion yen to 33.422 billion yen.
The debt was truly repaid, but the money never left the table, it just switched pockets.
Those waiting for it to deleverage its $BTC shorts might be waiting in vain.A Japanese company did two seemingly contradictory things at the same time: it fully repaid an 8 billion yen bond early, and at the same time redirected the entire 8 billion yen to buy Bitcoin.
Metaplanet announced that the principal of the 20th bond issued to EVO FUND, amounting to 8 billion yen, was fully repaid early; meanwhile, the fundraising purpose of the 27th stock acquisition rights was adjusted, reallocating the originally debt-repayment 8 billion yen to Bitcoin purchases, increasing the planned amount from 25.422 billion to 33.422 billion yen. The revenue business remains at 3.714 billion.
Three numbers tell one story: the intensity of buying coins has not decreased, only the identity of the funds has changed. The only real new addition is 8 billion yen; the remaining 25.422 billion yen is from the existing pool.
The risk bearers have therefore changed. Bonds require principal and interest repayment; even if the coin price falls, repayment is still required. Stock acquisition rights do not require principal repayment; losses are borne by shareholders. Debt obligations have been converted into shareholder equity, making the balance sheet lighter, but the volatility of $BTC directly impacts the shareholders.
At least one effect on the market: the coins bought by such companies do not easily flow back, effectively continuously removing circulating supply. 8 billion yen alone may not seem large, but the "issuing stock to buy coins" model has been repeatedly replicated.
What really needs attention is the other side: as the balance sheet increasingly resembles a BTC ETF, the financing ability follows the coin price. If the coin price drops, no one will exercise the acquisition rights, and the cycle will stall. Right now, the wind is favorable, so it looks like a perpetual motion machine.$ETH ETH 2,280 Repeated Testing: Can Whale Bottom-Fishing and Institutional Expectations Trigger a Rebound?
ETH today repeatedly tested the $2,280–2,300 range. Although the medium-term trend remains weak, several short-term bullish signals are worth noting.
The core driving force comes from concentrated buying by on-chain whales. According to Lookonchain monitoring, in the past few hours, a whale spent $62.97 million to buy 27,553 ETH at an average price of $2,286. Another address accumulated about 18,600 ETH within two hours, valued at over $42.4 million. Large-scale accumulation by whales at the current level is usually seen as recognition of a short-term bottom, and the fast buying pace carries certain institutional behavior characteristics.
Institutional entry expectations provide additional catalysts. The Moscow Exchange plans to launch regulated ETH trading on December 1, and this expectation formed sentiment support during today's session. Meanwhile, Binance resumed withdrawal functions after a security incident, alleviating some operational concerns.
Risks: Still in a downtrend channel, funding rate is negative; resistance from moving averages at 2320–2350, without a volume breakout it is only a short-term correction.
Strategy: Light long positions at 2280, stop loss below 2200; target 2350, breakout target 2400. Exit if volume breaks below 2200.
#美国中期选举在即，哪些结果值得关注？ #苹果新CEO迎来iPhone18首份成绩单 Apple is very likely to "exceed expectations" this time, but this earnings report may still be considered a failure.
Wall Street expects Q4 revenue of about $113.4 billion and EPS of $1.99. In the past eight quarters, Apple’s revenue and EPS have all beaten expectations, so "beating" itself is nothing new. The options market only prices in about ±4% volatility, which also indicates no one is really betting on a crash. The problem is: the market has already priced the "beat" into a 37x forward PE.
What’s more dangerous is the structure. Last quarter’s gross margin was 50.1%, including about 2 points of tariff refunds; Q4 guidance is 47%–48%, also including about 1 point of refunds. Excluding one-time benefits, the real gross margin isn’t that attractive. Storage chips have had capacity pulled away by AI data centers, and DRAM and NAND price increases are structural; service growth has slowed to about 10%, and services are the core of the high valuation narrative. Greater China’s Q3 was below expectations, with May iPhone sales in China down 19% year-over-year, and Apple Intelligence has yet to be implemented.
So the controversy isn’t about "whether it can beat," but about how much of a beat counts as a beat. If it’s just EPS 2.01 and revenue $114 billion, the stock price may not give credit—last quarter it beat both expectations, but services and Greater China were below expectations, and the stock fell more than 8% after hours. The market’s attitude toward Apple has changed: beating expectations is expected; the question is what you will beat next quarter with.
