If the Democratic Party takes control of Congress, will SPCX face a "political discount"?
What is truly worth watching out for may not be the merger being rejected by a single vote, but rather the extension of the transaction timeline. SpaceX and Tesla have established independent special committees to evaluate the merger, but the transaction terms have not yet been finalized, and shareholder support is also a key threshold. The merger of the two companies may also face antitrust and cross-border regulatory reviews.
If the Democrats control the House of Representatives, hearings, conflict of interest investigations, and congressional oversight pressure may increase, but Congress cannot directly replace regulatory agencies to approve or reject the deal. The market is more likely to first trade on approval uncertainties rather than an immediate merger failure.
Particular attention should be paid to SPCX: OKX's SPCX-USDT is a perpetual contract tracking SpaceX's stock price and does not equal holding company shares. If merger expectations cool down, valuation premiums may shrink; if review risks ease, a rebound repair may also occur.
My judgment is: single-chamber control is likely to trigger emotional fluctuations, while control of both chambers may increase policy uncertainty, but neither constitutes a definite short signal. The focus should be on transaction progress, regulatory statements, and contract premiums—don't take political news directly as trading direction. $BTC #美国中期选举在即，哪些结果值得关注？ A position of 5200 ETH, I'm more concerned about where it will draw the onlookers' sentiment. After Big Brother Maji cleared his HYPE long positions, he continued to add 25x leverage ETH longs, and overall it's slightly profitable now. This is somewhat interesting, but I think it's more like an attention event for mainstream assets, not yet a signal for small-cap token trends. 👀
My guess is, if onlookers take the big holders' floating profits as evidence of a sector strengthening, then related small tokens might see short-term sentiment opportunities, but not necessarily sustained buying follow-through. High volatility can amplify narratives, but also amplify disappointment; leveraged positions turning profitable doesn't mean the judgment has been validated.
I will separate "what big holders are doing" from "whether funds are spreading out," observing if there are more related assets active beyond ETH, rather than getting excited over a single profit and loss screenshot. Are people recently focusing on the Ethereum ecosystem, derivatives, or other sectors? Will this position change alter your observation focus? Some people say holding for 10 years will make it 10 USD each, but starting from 2021 until now, there are already tens of millions of coins. Look for yourself if any have dropped 500 times and then recovered. Some have, but very few, just about a dozen or so, meaning only about a hundred thousand coins could have one like that. Instead of gambling on this one in a hundred thousand chance, why not play with other coins?The market has bounced back, but everyone take note: the bears still dominate!
(Figure 1) shows the overall market long-short situation; the major mainstream coins $BTC $ETH $SOL are all dominated by bears. The big traders on hyperliquid are even more extreme, with 80% being bears (Figure 2).
BTC is grinding at the 78,000 whole number level; above, the 80,500–82,000 range is a resistance zone pressed by the 20-day moving average, and below, 76,000 overlaps with the 200-day moving average, which is the bulls' last stand.
BTC's RSI has dropped to around 36, which is not oversold but indicates no buyers.
ETH is the strongest among the three today, climbing from 2,250 back to 2,300, leading the rise. But the foundation is still cracked: the spot ETF saw a capital withdrawal of 156 million the day before yesterday, while on-chain activity is strengthening but institutions are withdrawing.
This divergence of strong on-chain activity and weak ETF for ETH, if it can't close above 2,300, I consider it a bull trap.
SOL is the dullest today, oscillating around 95, RSI at 30.5 is close to oversold but no funds are coming in. SOL has strong fundamentals but was oversold mistakenly; however, it is locked down short-term by macro factors. When risk appetite returns, it should lead; for now, you can accumulate a bit at low levels.
The previous low at 92.3 is a very strong support; as long as it holds above 90, there is not much problem. Oversold conditions could trigger a technical rebound above 100 (7-day moving average) at any time.
#非农来袭，12月加息会否生变？ BTC has dropped 7.3% cumulatively in October and is now fluctuating between 77,000 and 80,000 USD. There is a serious divergence in the funding side. The US spot ETF saw a net outflow of 643 million USD on October 30, ending four consecutive days of inflows. Even more severe is the Coinbase Bitcoin premium index, which has fallen to its lowest level since November 2022, remaining negative for 38 consecutive days. This indicates that US capital buying is almost exhausted.
On the miner side, although total revenue in October hit an 11-month high, revenue per unit of computing power dropped by 17.5%. If the coin price continues to fall, miners may increase potential selling pressure at any time to cover costs.From about 9 and a half hours after withdrawal resumed with a net outflow of $3.64 billion (withdrawals $4.65 billion / deposits $1.1 billion), to now a net outflow of $6.76 billion, the withdrawal scale has stabilized, and the panic of a bank run has basically passed.
I speculate that this outflow includes panic over the midterm elections and security incidents.
The panic over the theft incident has already ended.
The midterm election panic is the early consumption of the bearish expectation that the Democrats will take the House.
After the official results are released, it is easy for the bearish news to turn into bullish.
In the midterm elections, pro-crypto PACs have over $140 million supporting the Republicans.
The election results directly determine the pace of progress for stablecoin legislation, Clarity relaunch, and strategic Bitcoin reserves.
Bitcoin has already risen to 78,150, and crude oil has fallen to 100.77.
In a flat position, none of the trades are suitable to open.
Save trading opportunities for tomorrow.
Those holding long positions around 77,800 following Sanpao and short positions on crude oil at 103 and 105 should take profits at 79,500 and 99 respectively.
Also, after the US stock market opens at 22:30, you can check the Bitcoin ETF data; a decrease in net outflow is a sign of stabilization. As long as there is no large outflow, Bitcoin is considered bullish.$ETH surged to 2,317.84 in the morning but couldn't hold, falling back steadily over three hours to around 2,284, dropping again below 2,300. The 24h gain shrank from nearly 2% to 0.8%.
$BTC is similar, retreating from a high of 78,878 to 78,150, with a 24h gain down to just +0.35%. The volume on these two hourly candles in the afternoon clearly shrank.
According to Liqwall data as of 3 PM Beijing time, there was $100 million liquidated across the network in the past 24 hours, with shorts accounting for $59.5 million or 59%. BTC liquidations were $35.9 million (shorts $29.1 million), ETH $31.7 million (shorts $22.3 million).
Binance ETH funding rate remains at -0.0012%, BTC is +0.0077%.
My view is that the morning surge was basically short covering pushing the price up; once covered, no one stepped in. ETH's funding rate never turned positive, indicating insufficient spot buying. I'll be watching closely around 2,250.US spot ETH ETFs saw a net outflow of about $431 million over the five trading days last week, marking the fifth consecutive week of withdrawals.
BlackRock's ETHA led the pack with about $391 million withdrawn in one week.
Grayscale's ETHE saw roughly $37 million outflow.
Fidelity's FETH, on the other hand, had a net inflow of about $63 million, making it a rare exception.
On October 30 alone, there was an outflow of about $155.7 million, the largest single day that week.
The total net outflow over the five trading days was about $431 million, with the total net assets of the products still around $13.2 billion, accounting for approximately 4.8% of Ethereum's market cap.
Five consecutive weeks of outflows on the weekly chart indicate institutions have not turned back; $ETH remains relatively weak compared to BTC.
The inflow to FETH is not enough to cover the sell-off volume of ETHA; capital still prefers to stay on the BTC side, with buying pressure on ETH clearly insufficient.
Current price is around 2287, 24-hour high at 2318, low at 2248, funding rate close to zero, with neither bulls nor bears fully in control.
Price slid down from around 2318 during the day; volume and capital flow do not match, so I don't consider this a trend reversal.
What’s missing is sustained buying, not just a short-term rebound.
Price grinding upwards is possible to watch, but for a real bullish turn, outflows need to stabilize first.
Short-term support is at 2250, near last night’s low; if broken, reduce positions.
Resistance at 2320 is the first barrier; if it holds, then look at 2350.
Stop loss below 2220; target first at 2380, position size remains small for $ETH #美股与金银同步大跌，避险资金流向分化 The most striking thing about the flash crash isn't the drop itself, but that someone pulled the ladder away early.
XPL today quickly fell from $0.086431 to $0.069429, triggering a cascade of long liquidations, with Hyperliquid's HLP vault suffering a loss of about $556,000. The source of the positions is even more noteworthy: 16 wallets have been continuously increasing their XPL long positions since October 29, totaling about 269 million tokens with a nominal exposure of approximately $23 million; among them, 14 wallets transferred funds from Binance about two months ago, and 12 of these withdrew about 2.02 million USDC to reduce margin before the drop.
According to PANews, the timing of these position builds and margin withdrawals is too consistent, suggesting a bearish bias on XPL. Two points to watch: first, whether XPL can hold the $0.07 level; second, whether these 12 wallets will continue withdrawing tokens and exiting. Continued outflows would indicate that selling pressure is not yet exhausted. Additionally, the drawdown of the HLP vault may shake HYPE depositors' confidence in the platform's risk control, making the short-term outlook for HYPE neutral to bearish.
Are you more concerned about the $0.07 support line or the next moves of those 12 wallets? $UNITREE Now the toy factory A-shares and tokens have formed a fixed rhythm difference
A-shares ferment positive news, tokens will not rise synchronously
After the positive sentiment heats up and absorbs off-market funds' attention, it will start to spike and shake out
Manipulating the market is not a one-time thing, but a fixed cycle used repeatedly
The key is not to go long or short immediately after the news comes out, but to wait until the positive sentiment fades and the follow-up momentum is exhausted, then seize the window
#非农来袭，12月加息会否生变？ $ENA
Glanced at the gainers and losers list, the screen is full of green.
BTC +0.4%, ETH +0.8%, looks okay. Scrolling down: ENA -4.9%, ONDO -4.1%, WLD -3.7%, LINK -3.6%.
Big caps hold steady, small caps bleed. These days are the hardest for altcoins; even if the direction is right, you can't make money because no funds are flowing in.
With ENA's drop, the fee rate is still slightly negative. Shorts haven't paid longs, meaning it's not a short squeeze, but no one is stepping in.
Perpetual positions total $18 million, not a big market. At this scale, a single large order can shape the chart, so chart significance is limited.
I'm in cash, and watching days like this feels easier. It's not bearishness; during structural bleeding, guessing a rebound has a lower success rate than waiting for it to stabilize on its own.
If I were to act, I'd wait for altcoins to stop falling first. Honestly, I'm also waiting for the day it stops falling.
#非农来袭，12月加息会否生变？ HYPE breaks below 85! Paradigm dumps 220 million, still foolishly bottom-fishing?
Good news is obvious, unlocking is a truth-revealing mirror; once 85 breaks, the first to run aren't retail investors.
News: About 9.92 million HYPE tokens unlock on November 6, Paradigm unstaked $224 million in two days. ICE partnership is a long-term trump card, but the short-term market is trading on "unlocking fear" first.
Technical: Daily, 4H, and 1H charts all break down; 1H volume spikes as it falls below 85.5, with net outflow of 230 million in 1 hour and over 52 million outflow in 7 days. The main players are exiting early before unlocking—not a short squeeze, but a rush to sell.
Trading advice: Do not bottom-fish. Short on rebounds at 86.5-87.5 resistance, target around 83-80.
How much more will the main players dump before November 6? $HYPE #加密行业协同守护资产安全 $SOL
1.49 million SOL tokens moved into exchanges in about ten days. At the current price of over 94, that's $140 million sitting above the order book.
In the past, such news would have caused the price to drop two or three points already.
Today, SOL only fell 1.1%, with a 24-hour low of 93.14, and it hasn't truly broken below 93.
What I'm watching is the other side: there are still 3.51 million perpetual contract positions, equivalent to $3.3 billion, that haven't exited. The funding rate is +0.01%, meaning longs still have to pay shorts.
Tokens are moving to exchanges, but positions haven't loosened. These two things together are quite interesting.
My interpretation: this batch of tokens doesn't look like it's here to dump; it seems more like they're just hanging there waiting to sell or market makers are shifting positions. If there was real panic, positions would drop first and the funding rate would turn negative.
So I’m not chasing shorts. I'll wait until it truly breaks below 93.14 before talking—that's when the structure is really broken. Anyone acting now is just jumping the gun.
#非农来袭，12月加息会否生变？ [FBI Attributes to North Korea: THORChain Refuses to Freeze Assets, Decentralization Boundaries Put on the Table]
On November 1, the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) officially attributed the $6.3 billion Binance hack to North Korean state hackers and publicly sought private sector assistance to block further laundering of the stolen assets. This gave official endorsement to the forensic conclusions of TRM Labs and Chainalysis.
Details of the money laundering channels also surfaced. According to The Block citing on-chain analysts: hackers laundered about $242 million using the Tron network; cross-chain bridges Relay (about $48 million), THORChain, Chainflip, Symbiosis, and others collectively transferred about $140 million out of the Tron network. The choice of Tron is understandable: it is one of the networks with the largest stablecoin circulation and is outside the direct reach of U.S. regulation.
What is truly worth noting is the ideological clash that erupted thereafter: reports say the FBI pressured THORChain to assist in freezing related assets, while THORChain’s co-founder publicly opposed halting the protocol to comply with law enforcement. This is a direct conflict between censorship resistance ideals and law enforcement realities—THORChain’s stance is ideologically consistent (code is law, the protocol stops for no one), but if stolen funds continue to be laundered through its channels, this "consistency" will face dual pressure from legal and market forces. The outcome of this debate may set a precedent for the behavioral boundaries of the entire DeFi industry in major criminal incidents.
Another intriguing undercurrent: while tracking the Binance hackers, on-chain tracking company Chainalysis disclosed it was hacked—attackers used "offensive agentic techniques" to obtain its clients’ names and emails. The offense and defense between investigators and the investigated have escalated to the AI agent level; for users, this is more direct than any single hacking incident: your personal information is becoming one of the targets in this war.Elon Musk really is the king of hype 😆😆
Mag7 was the only one to close in the green last week, with Tesla, the car maker, up +7.4%; Google, the biggest cash burner, fell 12.6% for its worst week since 2008.
Overnight Monday (as of 14:33): Google +1.2%, Nvidia +1.4% led the rebound, while Apple dropped -0.2%, waiting for tonight's US market close earnings report.
Did the hardest hit stocks get picked up first?
$TSLA $GOOGL $NVDA A Sui wallet that has been used for a long time has announced a definite shutdown date.
Suiet announced that development and maintenance will cease after November 14, 2026. Along with this, the API service will also stop, and the Chrome extension will be taken offline. The official message to users is simple: back up your mnemonic phrase or private key and migrate to another wallet compatible with Sui.
This matter deserves a closer look because a wallet is never just a tool; it is an entry point. Once the API stops, all DApp connections, batch signatures, and third-party tasks relying on it will be interrupted; when the extension goes offline, that path in the browser simply disappears. Users don’t leave because of "stopped maintenance"; they leave because they can no longer access it. These two events are often only days apart.
From a broader perspective, the wallet layer in the Sui ecosystem is entering an elimination phase. Wallets without leading traffic and sustained investment will exit one by one, leaving the official wallet and a few top aggregators as the remaining entry points. $SUI itself won’t change because one wallet shuts down, but the valuation logic for ecosystem projects that rely on "entry points" to tell their story will need to be recalculated.
The real question is not why Suiet is exiting, but who will be next. The criteria for judgment are not based on funding amounts or feature lists, but on whether people actually open it every day. This statement holds true for wallets and for the vast majority of applications on public blockchains alike.#苹果新CEO迎来iPhone18首份成绩单
Based on current pre-sales data: the probability of EPS (earnings per share) slightly exceeding expectations is higher, but the difficulty of significantly surpassing revenue expectations is greater; compared to this quarter's iPhone numbers, the market is more focused on the new CEO, Tim Cook's AI strategy, storage costs, and outlook for the next fiscal quarter (including foldable screens). The guidance in the conference call may have an even greater impact on the stock price than the Q4 numbers themselves.$BTC $ETH The U.S. midterm elections are coming
Prediction markets show the Democrats winning about 93% of the House, around 70% of the Senate, and a 70% chance of sweeping both chambers.
Three things related to the crypto space:
First, the "CLARITY Act" failed in the Senate on September 15; after the Congress turnover, the legislative pace will likely be reset;
Second, the market worries that the U.S. might take action against Iran again after the election, which would push oil prices up and raise expectations for interest rate hikes;
Third, prediction markets Kalshi and Polymarket both hit record trading volumes in October, and election week will only get crazier.
On top of that, some voices at the Federal Reserve are calling for rate hikes, and Binance was hacked last week.
This week, BTC is caught between politics, interest rates, and negative news, so it might be difficult for it to have an independent rally. #非农来袭，12月加息会否生变？ The United States is supporting a plan to restore Russian natural gas exports to Europe through Ukrainian pipelines as part of negotiations to reach an "energy ceasefire" before winter. The plan was proposed by U.S. envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff during their September visits to Moscow and Kyiv, centering on selling Russian natural gas through a U.S. intermediary to circumvent current European restrictions. The related infrastructure is currently intact, and once the plan is implemented, gas flow can quickly resume. This move comes against the backdrop of pressure on European gas prices. The EU plans to completely stop importing Russian natural gas starting next year, while conflicts in the Middle East have caused nearly one-fifth of global liquefied natural gas exports to be disrupted, pushing European gas prices to nearly a four-year high. However, the plan faces multiple uncertainties: Ukraine has resumed strikes on Russian refining facilities, and U.S.-Ukraine relations have become tense due to direct dealings between Trump and Putin. Last month, Trump reached an agreement with Putin in which Washington promised not to tighten sanctions on Russia in exchange for Moscow supplying a limited amount of diesel to the global market to stabilize oil prices. Market Impact Analysis European Gas and Energy Market If the plan is realized, it will exert downward pressure on European gas prices. Currently, prices remain high due to supply concerns; the resumption of Russian gas transit will ease market tensions, especially before winter arrives, and may reduce electricity prices across Europe. This will benefit energy-intensive industries and utilities but will be unfavorable for producers and traders profiting from volatility. This news alone could limit the upside potential of gas futures, but byLiving day to day, when there is something valuable at home, selling it for cash and using it as collateral are two different matters. After retiring and learning about digital assets, I also tend to view these two things separately.
The board of directors of the listed company Next Technology unanimously approved the proposal to sell or mortgage about 5,833 $BTC, aiming to reduce holding risk and improve liquidity. The specific quantity and timing of the sale are undecided, and it does not necessarily mean all will be sold.
I think this news serves more as a reminder about corporate fund management than a signal about the direction of the coin price. Holding assets does not equal having liquid cash on hand; this time the company clearly wants to improve liquidity. The impact of selling and mortgaging on the market is also different, so the authorized amount should not be directly regarded as selling pressure. Mortgaging depends on conditions, and the risk does not simply disappear.
Young friends, when reading announcements, don’t just focus on whether the numbers are big or small; also consider why the company needs cash. Are you more interested in how much it will ultimately sell or the specific terms of the mortgage?AAPL is not recklessly spending on AI; instead, it has become the biggest safe haven in the tech sector, although the price is indeed quite high now.
But if you want a tech company that simultaneously meets "ample free cash flow, strong business capabilities, a huge consumer user base, and extremely high moat barriers," there is currently only this one!
#苹果新CEO迎来iPhone18首份成绩单
$xAAPL Voting stations will start closing and counting votes at 7 PM tomorrow afternoon, and by early the day after tomorrow, the control of both chambers can basically be determined. $BTC $ETH $SNDK The current market consensus is very clear: the Democratic Party is very likely to regain control of the House of Representatives, with the prediction market giving a 92% chance, basically a done deal. The Senate is the real battleground; the Republicans currently hold 53 seats, and the Democrats need a net gain of 4 seats to flip it, with several swing states being fiercely contested. The Republican strategy now is to give up the House and focus all efforts on defending the Senate. The division of responsibilities between the two chambers is quite different. The House controls the purse strings, including the fiscal budget, impeachment initiation, legislative oversight, and public welfare appropriations, similar to the ancient Censorate combined with the Ministry of Revenue. The Senate handles personnel appointments, foreign treaties, and final legislative review, more like the cabinet and prime minister roles. Let's consider three scenarios: The probability that the Republicans hold both chambers is already very low, less than 10%. If that happens, Trump's crypto-friendly policies could proceed smoothly, Bitcoin might surge to 83,000 to 85,000, and oil supply-side pressures would ease. But this scenario can basically be ruled out. The most likely outcome is a split Congress, with Democrats taking the House and Republicans holding the Senate. In this case, the Democrats would launch numerous hearings and investigations, block the fiscal budget, and possibly initiate impeachment proceedings, which would be bearish for risk assets. The probability of Democrats sweeping both chambers is also not low, with the prediction market giving over 60%. Then Trump would basically be a lame duck for the next two years, with crypto legislation and easing policies stalled, but the debt ceiling battle might instead trigger some liquidity stories. Continued#AMD Earnings Preview: HeliosAI System Commercialization Progress
The leader has something to say
AMD will release its Q3 earnings after the US market closes on November 3. Previously, Q2 data center business revenue surged 107% year-over-year. The market is focusing on the commercialization of Instinct chips and Helios rack-level systems, as well as whether the demand from major cloud providers can translate into actual revenue.
I believe the macro environment facing this earnings report is extremely perilous. Last night, the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index plummeted 7.2%, and tech stocks are undergoing indiscriminate deleveraging bloodbath. Even if AMD's performance and guidance exceed expectations, funds will most likely take profits on the good news. In the face of a liquidity crisis, fundamentals have been temporarily set aside.
On the market, AMD rose slightly by 0.68% today, and xAMD rose 0.72%. This is just a technical rebound after a big drop; funds are cautious before the earnings report. Community forecasts show 69% believe it will beat expectations, but the key is not whether it beats or not, but whether the guidance can offset macro panic.
BTC fell below 77,000 last night and is still grinding below. Let's see if it can climb back above 80,000. If it can't hold, expect a deeper pullback, with resistance between 84,000 and 85,000 above. Don't chase the rise or sell the dip; set stop losses properly.
The above analysis is time-sensitive; stop losses must be set properly. Good luck. $BTC $ETH $SOL Policy background review combined with UBS views and the Federal Reserve dot plot shows some officials tend to believe there is still room for further rate hikes before the end of the year. The core goal of rate hikes is to cool down an overheated economy and suppress inflation.
📈 Related beneficiary assets: Historically, during rate hike cycles, the attractiveness of dollar assets strengthens, capital tends to flow back to the US, and the dollar index remains strong; short-term bond yields rise, highlighting the stable return value of cash and short-term bonds, bank net interest margins are expected to improve, and demand for energy such as crude oil is also likely to be supported.
📉 Pressured assets: On the other hand, high-valuation tech stocks represented by the Nasdaq tend to face valuation pressure; gold, which does not generate interest, often faces greater pressure when interest rates rise; rising mortgage costs also suppress real estate demand and liquidity.
⚠️ Risk warning: The above is only a review of past market patterns; market changes are uncertain and do not constitute investment advice. BTC at 78,100, do you still dare to hold it?
Binance lost $6.3 billion in a hack, ETFs saw a single-day outflow of $640 million, the Fed turned hawkish and didn't cut rates—three days ago BTC dropped to 76,200, and the whole network was shouting "the bear is here." But just now, the price stubbornly climbed back to 78,100, and Saylor is still hinting at adding positions. Is this a dead cat bounce, or your last chance to get on board?
Let's look at the surface first: all the news is telling you to "run fast."
October's high of 86,400 fell to 76,200, evaporating over $10,000 in a month. The $6.3 billion hack, ETF net outflows, the Fed holding rates on October 28 while turning hawkish, and rising odds of a December rate hike. RSI daily at 39, moving averages all pressing above the price. Technicals, news, and macro all bearish.
But look at the chart—the drop to 76,200 didn't break lower, there have been several days of slight rebounds, and the price has already touched back up to 78,100. The bad news has been absorbed, but the price isn't falling anymore. What does this mean?
First: The $6.3 billion hack—is it a disaster or the final washout?
Binance's largest hack ever, FBI points to North Korea, triggering massive liquidations and panic selling. BTC briefly dipped below 77,000.
Sounds like doomsday? But think back:
In 2014 Mt.Gox was hacked, BTC fell from 800 to 200, then later rose to 20,000
In 2016 Bitfinex lost 120,000 BTC, market panicked, then hit new highs
In 2022 FTX collapsed, BTC dropped to 16,000, then 40,000 six months later
Every exchange trust crisis is a script where retail cuts losses and institutions buy the blood. Binance has resumed withdrawals in phases, prioritizing BTC. Panic is receding, price is repairing. The market teaches you with $6.3 billion: bottoms are never in the news, but in the pits the news digs.
Second: ETFs are running, Saylor is buying, who do you trust?
On October 30, the US spot BTC ETF saw a single-day net outflow of $643 million, weekly flow turned negative. Scary?
But at the same time, Michael Saylor hinted over the weekend at continuing to increase holdings.
Institutions are of two kinds: some run based on quarterly reports, others add positions based on a five-year narrative. ETF outflows are short-term risk aversion, not long-term retreat—the cumulative net inflow is still positive, AUM pressure doesn't mean faith collapse.
If you trade based on ETF daily flows, you'll always be late. Smart money builds positions in panic, retail sells in panic—that's the difference between you and Saylor.
Third: The macro knife is the real thing pressing down BTC.
The Fed held rates at 3.75%-4.00% on October 28, two members advocated hikes, economic description changed from "solid" to "strong," hawkish to the max. CPI still sticky at 3.7%, real yields high, December hike odds rising.
High rates + strong dollar = hell for no-yield assets. BTC's "digital gold" narrative loses competitiveness against 5% risk-free returns.
But think the other way: macro is already a known bearish factor, the market priced it in long ago. The real trigger could be the November 3 midterm elections—if Republicans control Congress, crypto regulation expectations improve, this is the underestimated catalyst. Macro is pressing you, but elections might save you.
Bull vs. bear, judge for yourself
On one side:
Strong support at 76,200-77,000, hack low not broken
Saylor hints at continued buying, long-term institutions haven't fled
Panic digested, several days of rebound repair
November 3 midterms, regulatory easing expected
Short-term oversold, V-shaped rebound forming
On the other side:
$6.3 billion hack shadow lingers, trust repair slow
ETF single-day outflow of $640 million, funds not buying short-term
Fed hawkish, December hike odds rising
RSI 39 weak, moving averages pressing overhead
Breaking below 76,000 may accelerate drop to 74,000
Key levels
Resistance above: 78,800-80,600 (downtrend line) → 81,000-82,000 → October high 86,000
Support below: 76,600-77,000 (iron bottom) → 75,000-76,000 → 74,000-75,000 buying zone
Trading strategy
Conservative players (recommended for most):
Wait for a pullback to 76,500-77,000, look for long lower shadows or volume-increasing bullish candles, buy lightly in batches, stop loss below 76,000 (risk 2-3%), first target 78,800-80,000, second target 81,500-82,500. Risk-reward at least 1:2. No signal means no position, being out is also a position.
Short-term players:
If near 78,100 it can't break 78,500-79,000, reduce positions near resistance, buy near support, high sell low buy. If breaks 76,000 with volume, short lightly targeting 74,000-75,000, stop loss above 77,000.
Long-term holders:
DCA below 76,000 but prepare mentally for another 10% drop. Post-halving supply contraction, institutional channel, ETF long-term logic unchanged. 2027 target 120,000-150,000, betting on liquidity inflection + regulatory clarity.
BTC now is like 16,000 in 2022—
99% think "crypto is done," but six months later it hit 40,000.
$BTC $ETH $SOL CoinGecko's top trending search is again $HYPE. As of 15:05 Beijing time on November 2, OKX spot is at 85.45, down about 3% in 24h, with total network volume around 1.17 billion USD, and a 7-day increase of about 12%, still some distance from the September high of 97.96.
The hype comes from two points: NYSE parent company ICE partnering with Trade[XYZ] to launch a compliant perpetual contract for US users based on Hyperliquid, pending CFTC approval; DefiLlama shows Hyperliquid's protocol revenue in the past 30 days is about 65.1 million USD, continuously used for buybacks.
My view: On-chain real revenue plus traditional financial endorsement make HYPE's fundamentals very strong among top DeFi projects. However, after the positive news landed, the price has retreated from around 98, digesting the news in the short term. Next, I am watching two things: the progress of CFTC approval and whether revenue can hold up in a weak market. If revenue remains stable, this pullback looks more like a rotation rather than a market top. Just ran through the $BTC cross-exchange order book and underlying derivatives data for the past 24 days. From late October, the price dropped from 84,875 down to 76,270, a nearly $8,600 decline that forced many high-leverage longs off their positions. But today (November 2), after the market bounced back to the 78,340 level, the underlying data showed an extremely unusual divergence signal. 1. Core order book data breakdown: Three divergences you must watch. Open Interest (OI) hits a new phase high against the trend, indicating capital is secretly accumulating. Many cut losses at 76k, but the data doesn't lie: OKX's contract open interest (OI) not only didn't shrink due to the drop but surged from 3.24 billion in mid-October to a peak of 3.77 billion, currently steady at 3.698 billion (Binance's total network OI also remains high at 95,400 BTC). This shows that the main institutional funds on the market haven't left; there is heavy counterparty turnover and position building in the 76,270-78,000 range. CVD (Cumulative Volume Delta) and price "bottom divergence" repair. Over the past two weeks, OKX's CVD dropped continuously from -333,000 to -2,262,000, indicating that previously it was mainly aggressive sell orders (Taker Sell) pushing the price down. But in the last 48 hours, although CVD remains low, the price refused to make new lows and stabilized above 78,000—a typical passive limit buy wall has been established, with institutions using iceberg orders to absorb panic selling. Long-short ratioThe reason for the sudden drop of $HYPE has been found!
Paradigm unstaked 2.55 million $HYPE in the past two days, worth about 224 million USD! Although it was only unstaking and no selling, the market started to panic and drop!
Following the previous wave of large holders unstaking, another round of large holder unstaking operations has begun!
Although there has been positive news for $HYPE recently, the large holder unstaking operations have also caused panic among holders!
#OKX、ICE与Trade.xyz联手，推动永续合约进入美国合规市场 $XDP is a project generating yields from the XRP/RLUSD treasury, with real TVL and a user base. XDP is its Base chain utility governance token. Market cap is $18-22 million, with only about 12% in circulation.
The biggest issue is extreme token concentration: the top 10 addresses hold 93.91%, clearly dominated by whales. The next unlock on 11/28 is only 0.89% (about $1.6 million), so short-term pressure is low, but the team/investors releasing tokens after a one-year lockup poses a medium-term risk.
The 2-hour chart oscillates between 0.017 and 0.0195, with support at 0.01793 and resistance at 0.01836. Short-term trading can be done lightly around this range with strict stop-loss; mid-term requires monitoring treasury growth and whale movements, currently the cost-performance ratio is average. Long-term outlook is bearish, but a pump cannot be ruled out.$TRUMP The bears in this market are completely holding on stubbornly.
There are over two hundred bear whales, still holding positions worth 14 million dollars, with an average price around 1.83.
The bulls don't need to put in much effort now; just a slight push upwards to touch the cost line, and the bears' stop-loss orders will become ready fuel.
The higher it goes, the more intense the stepping on; such a big net of fish controlled by the house has no reason not to be collected.

👇Every major drop day has a list of leading decliners, and most people only look at the ranking by decline percentage. But the decline percentage itself is meaningless; what matters is whether the reasons for each name's drop are the same. This list happens to represent three unrelated paths.
$TRX ranks among the top mainstream coins in single-day pullback, but Tron’s stablecoin business and on-chain revenue have not changed at all. The drop is in leveraged positions, not fundamentals. Such a pullback comes fast and goes fast.
$MORPHO is different. The DeFi sector overall only dipped slightly, but its decline is more than five times that of the sector. It is the direct vehicle for this round of ETH deleveraging; collateral shrinks, lending volume shrinks, and protocol revenue shrinks accordingly.
$DOT is the third type, with no negative news—purely no one stepping in to buy. It has long been in a liquidity vacuum, so any sell order can create a deep pit.
Among the leading decliners, only MORPHO’s drop is worth tracking; the other two are noise. $XRP XRP has nearly $80 million worth of orders placed just below the 1.25 level; as soon as it dips below, they get instantly absorbed.
The overall market is sluggish; even if it can't break the previous low, the $XRP /BTC rate is still outperforming Bitcoin, clearly showing that major players are quietly holding the line.
Below are hands holding the defense with bags, the bulls are very strong this round.

👇Leverage is still in play, but trading volume suddenly cools down. OKX 06:18 (UTC) snapshot shows $AKE perpetual contract at 0.00613 USDT, down 37.70% in 24 hours, ranging between 0.00585—0.00992 USDT; the trading volume for the past full 24 hours is approximately 74.6343 million USDT.
In the most recent full 4 hours, it dropped another 25.06%, with trading volume increasing by 444.31% compared to the previous 4 hours; however, in the latest full 1 hour, it fell 6.51% while trading volume decreased by 66.82% sequentially. Current open interest (OI) is about 645 million AKE, equivalent to approximately 3.9447 million USD, with a funding rate around -0.3131%. The volume-expanded decline followed by shrinking trading volume indicates volatility has not yet stabilized; OI cannot identify net long or short positions, and a deeply negative funding rate does not necessarily signal a rebound.
OKX does not have AKE spot trading, lacking spot cross-confirmation. Next, consider 0.00614 and 0.00689 USDT as two confirmation boundaries: if the former is broken while OI remains high, the risk still leans downward; if the latter is reclaimed with a full-hour close, accompanied by rising volume and OI ceasing to expand, it would indicate selling pressure is beginning to ease.
* NFA, DYOROn Friday, the $BTC spot ETF saw an outflow of $643 million in a single day, the largest since June 25. The number itself isn't surprising; what's surprising is the day it happened — the first trading day after Binance was hacked.
Let's put the data back into context. $643 million is a single-day figure, with June 25 as a reference point. But it's "one day," not "one week." A single-day outflow amplifies sentiment, not trend. What really matters is whether it continues into early next week: if it doesn't, it's a one-off event; if it does, it means funds are changing direction.
Now, let's look at the mechanism. ETF outflows aren't retail investors hitting the sell button; they involve share redemptions: institutions submit redemptions, the fund sells the corresponding spot assets to market makers, who then dump them back into the market. This process is slow, has thresholds, and is constrained by business days, so this volume represents allocation decisions, not panic selling.
The timing makes it more significant. The security incident hit "custody trust," and the ETF outflow hit "position size." Two events collided on the same day, effectively asking the market two questions simultaneously: where do you keep your coins, and do you still want this much? Under this pressure, $ETH and $SOL have no independent narrative and can only contract along with risk appetite.
Don't treat this day as a turning point, nor as noise. It's more like the first reading of a stress test. Next, we need to distinguish whether funds are "relocating" or "exiting" — which look almost identical on the surface but have completely opposite implications.
This is the most worthwhile area to focus on right now. The current trend of ZEC is actually quite interesting. Unlike BTC, which surged rapidly upwards, it is slowly consolidating at a relatively low range, as if patiently accumulating energy. From the candlestick chart, although there is some pressure from moving averages above, the support below is solid, and the price volatility is narrowing, which is usually the calm before a breakout. The MACD indicator is entangled near the zero line, indicating a balance of power between bulls and bears. The main force may be quietly accumulating, waiting for the right moment to make a move.
In the face of this "grinding" market, we must not be impatient to chase highs or sell lows. I think the best strategy is to be a patient observer, waiting for it to break through key resistance levels or to pull back to strong support without breaking before taking action. If it can break through the upper pressure line with volume, that is a very clear entry signal; if it continues to pull back, as long as it does not break the previous low, we can build positions in batches at low levels, which makes the cost safer and the mindset more peaceful.
If you really find a suitable entry point, remember to always set a stop loss. Protecting our principal is the top priority. We can set the target at the next obvious resistance level or estimate a reasonable profit space based on wave theory. This low-level positioning strategy may require a bit more patience, but once the market starts, the risk-reward ratio is often very attractive. I hope everyone can stay calm and steadily seize this potential upward opportunity to get richer together! ✨$ZEC $BTC $ETH Abandon illusions! Above $ZEC is all a "Wall of Sighs"; whoever tries to bottom-fish will just be the bag holder!
Brothers, don’t think the market has bottomed just because the price twitches a bit. ZEC’s current movement is purely the main force "reversing to pick up people," tricking stubborn bulls to get on board.
Look at the current market: price around 1267, I placed a short at the high of 1273.38 and have already secured a steady 1.43% profit. Although the gain isn’t huge, I’m holding this trend very firmly.
Why? Just open your eyes and look at the order book depth above: from 1267.30 to 1267.44, there’s a dense wall of sell orders, with the largest single order pressing nearly 10 coins. As soon as bulls dare to poke their heads up, they get smashed instantly by large orders. Meanwhile, the buy side below is sparse and can’t absorb this continuous selling pressure.
From the candlestick trend, this is a classic "stair-step decline," with each high lower than the last, the moving averages tightly pressing down, and every slight rebound is a volume-less bull trap—a typical downtrend continuation pattern.
So, don’t catch a falling knife. We hold our shorts firmly this round; until the trend reverses, any pullback is just an opportunity for us to enter! $BTC $ETH #非农来袭，12月加息会否生变？ Everyone thought stolen funds couldn't be recovered? This time, the FBI's announcement might have been misread. Does anyone really think this $600 million is just "another hacking incident"? My first reaction to this news wasn't panic, but rather something subtle. On October 31, the FBI publicly confirmed that over $600 million stolen on Binance points to North Korea's TraderTraitor group—the same gang that took $1.5 billion from Bybit last year—and explicitly called on THORChain nodes, DeFi protocols, and exchanges to block all hacker addresses. The timing is crucial—when the news broke, the market didn't experience a stampede sell-off; BTC and ETH reacted relatively calmly, and altcoins were even quieter. What does this indicate? It means the "North Korean hacker" narrative has been traded too many times, and the emotional impact is diminishing. But I don't quite agree with simply categorizing this as "bad news fully priced in." From the perspective of capital preference, the real point to watch is another layer: when law enforcement starts publicly naming cross-chain nodes and DeFi frontends, the way risk appetite is priced quietly changes. Previously, it was assumed stolen funds would be laundered through mixers and cross-chain transfers with low chances of recovery, so the market treated it as a sunk cost; now, the FBI is placing interception responsibility on infrastructure like THORChain, effectively injecting "compliance friction" into what was originally a neutral cross-chain narrative. For BTC, this slightly enhances its safe-haven attribute; for ETH and the DeFi sector, the short-term effect is emotional suppression, especially for those relying on anonymous flows More important than the election to watch is this week's unlock schedule!
During election week, everyone's eyes are on the ballot box, but I'm focused on another chart. From November 2 to 8, a total of about $275 million worth of 12 tokens will be unlocked, all hitting the market right after a heavy blow this week.
The largest amount is BTW, unlocking about $114 million this afternoon; the most severe ratio is MMT, unlocking about 252 million tokens on November 4, equivalent to 294.38% of its current circulating supply, with chips nearly quadrupling overnight; KITE will unlock about $75.6 million tomorrow, accounting for 17.42% of its circulating supply.
The rest: ENA has two batches totaling about $25.4 million this week, AVAX's weekend batch accounts for only 0.3% of circulating supply, negligible. This is just the first week of November; a larger one-year unlock is queued for the end of the month.
Also to clarify: unlocking does not mean immediate dumping; the portion allocated to the ecosystem is usually spent gradually; the real focus is on the shares allocated to the team and early investors.
My view: when looking at unlocks, don't look at the amount first, look at the ratio. A large amount just means a loud noise, a large ratio means a heavy supply. Plus, the unlock recipients—the portion given to the team and early investors—have costs only a fraction of the current price, so cashing out doesn't need a reason.
This week, for these tokens, first check the unlock time and ratio before deciding whether to act.
$MMT $KITE $ENA #TokenUnlock The moment the sternum was split down the middle, what I saw was not a healthy heart, but a pump pushed to its limit by positive inotropic drugs—the cardiac output was dazzlingly high, but the myocardium's own contractile reserve had never been stress-tested.
Last season's revenue rose 93% year-over-year, with the US commercial side soaring nearly 1.5 times, followed by an upward revision of the full-year guidance. On the monitor, this is a beautiful curve: fast heart rate, large stroke volume, low peripheral vascular resistance, and auscultation full of murmurs. But high-powered circulation never equals myocardial health. We must distinguish whether this is truly enhanced contractility or the drugs propping you up—one-off orders, policy-driven procurement, and emotionally driven pricing all count as exogenous adrenaline. The real stress test is the moment the drugs are withdrawn.
What I want to see is the angiogram, not the pretty waveform on the ECG. Is perfusion uniform in the order book? Have major clients renewed enough to form collateral circulation? Gross margin is myocardial perfusion pressure—when it drops, the first to die are the most distal capillaries. If only one of the two coronary arteries supplying the government and commercial sides is perfusing, and the other is chronically stenosed, this heart cannot endure a long run. Even worse is an anastomotic leak: revenue looks intact on stage, but the true story is in the postoperative drainage bag.
Valuation is preload. The fuller it is, the closer you get to the descending limb of that curve—adding one more drop of volume actually reduces the blood ejected. Interest rate is afterload; when afterload rises, wedge pressure follows, and pulmonary edema is just a step away. The current pricing discounts the ideal postoperative recovery curve prematurely onto today's monitor. The thing I dread most during surgery is masking an anastomotic leak by increasing vasopressors—covering the gap with narrative will come back to haunt you on discharge day.
This earnings report, I only wait for one number: stroke volume. Not how fast it beats, but how much it truly pumps out each contraction—whether order conversion rate, retention structure, and free cash flow can align in phase. Troponin doesn't lie: if any one of these falls outside the reference range, the so-called high growth signals myocardial ischemia, not an athlete's sinus bradycardia. In the 24 hours post-op, I don't listen to how loud the monitor alarms are, only the color of the drainage and urine output—book profit is blood pressure, cash flow is urine output.
If this time there is only heart rate without stroke volume, it's not sinus tachycardia in recovery, but the last phase of compensation before decompensation. #palantirq3valuationFat test, the Kanye-associated address that keeps going long on ETH is suspected of increasing its position.

Brushing off the century-old dust settled on parchment, the current uproar around $NVDA is, under my trowel and brush, nothing more than a nineteenth-century pottery shard unearthed anew.
As I sit before a desk cluttered with archives from a bygone era, watching the frenzy chasing the computing power overlord today, the atmosphere hits me like the stratigraphic layers of the 1840s British "Railway Mania." Back then, gentlemen and commoners alike scrambled to sell their belongings to subscribe to every railway share, even those existing only on blueprints; today, the fervent crowd not only rushes to buy this new era's casting shovel but also, through the geometric amplification of decentralized media, transforms an ordinary financial report into a "Delphic oracle" deciding the fate of the entire market's bull and bear cycles.
Stratigraphy of history never lies; the composition of frenzy deposits has remained unchanged for centuries. In 1845, the British Parliament approved over two thousand miles of railway lines, and newspapers repeatedly declared the end of the carriage era, promising eternal prosperity through rails; yet when the crisis hit in 1847, all that remained on the surface were equity certificates that had plummeted 85%, alongside mountains of abandoned railbeds.
I believe the current market is precisely replicating this geological sedimentation process. The public no longer scrutinizes the underlying real computing power depreciation rates or terminal cash flows; they only need a totem, a golden idol sustaining the entire on-chain liquidity mirage.
From the bubble specimens unearthed over time, when a shovel seller's quarterly profit is treated as the Holy Grail of human technological civilization, even endowed by derivatives markets with divine authority to determine global asset liquidity, it often means the cultural layer's prosperity has reached the mechanical structure's limit. Stress in the strata is rising sharply; at the slightest disturbance, faults will instantly rupture.
Personally, I maintain absolute cold-bloodedness in my strategy, adhering strictly to discipline and risk limits during field excavations. I would never buy those clay tablets destined to weather away at historical peak prices during the temple's most flourishing incense-burning and the priests' drum-beating oracle proclamations.
There is nothing new under the sun; the only lesson humanity has learned from history is that it has never truly learned any lesson.
Fervent believers think they are witnessing the birth of a miracle, but in my eyes, they are merely using their excited flesh and blood to cast a doomed materialistic relic for the archaeologists of the next era.🏛️📜#Mục tiêu huy động vốn của OpenAI giảm, rủi ro tín dụng của Anthropic được quan tâm #非农来袭，12月加息会否生变？
The market has already priced in a "December rate hike," reflecting a crowded long dollar / short growth expectation.
- If the nonfarm payrolls slightly exceed expectations: it will likely be a "buy the rumor, sell the fact" scenario, with the positive outlook realized.
- If the nonfarm payrolls significantly beat expectations: it will trigger a new round of trend-driven hawkish repricing.
- If the nonfarm payrolls weaken significantly: it will represent a strong negative surprise, causing a sell-off in dollar longs and US Treasury shorts.
A common trading pitfall: don’t focus only on new jobs added; the month-over-month wage growth is a hidden trigger. Even if new jobs are average, a jump in hourly wages will still be interpreted by the market as a wage inflation risk, raising rate hike expectations.
Brief conclusion
The nonfarm payrolls won’t directly lock in the outcome but will significantly shift the odds:
- ✅ Strong nonfarm + wage rebound → December rate hike almost certain
- ✅ Weak nonfarm, rising unemployment, wage decline → rate hike expectations cool off, likely no move
- ✅ Neutral nonfarm → suspense remains for CPI
The Fed’s current stance: it prefers to keep the option of "one more hike" open and won’t easily rule it out.
Risk warning
Macro expectations change rapidly; interest rate futures probabilities only reflect current market pricing and do not constitute any trading advice; volatility is extremely high around data releases, and leveraged positions are prone to liquidation.#PalantirQ3Valuation Brothers, today let's focus on the long and short game situation of these three coins 👇
$CT: The rebound looks more like a bull trap
CT has already broken the key level, long positions are floating with losses close to 1.55 million USD, and there is a large amount of historical trapped positions. The cost to pull the price up again is not low.
At present, the rebound looks more like a bull trap, so blind bottom-fishing is not recommended.
$TRUTH: Small-cap coin, be cautious with shorting
Currently, long positions have floating profits, short positions have floating losses of about 158,000 USD, and overall fuel is not sufficient.
But TRUTH has a relatively small market cap, making it easier to pump the price. The possibility of further rallies to attract shorts to enter cannot be ruled out, so be cautious with shorting for now.
$TRUMP: Bears hold the advantage
Short positions have profits of about 1.55 million USD, long positions have floating losses of about 350,000 USD, and trapped positions are relatively few.
You can consider lightly buying at appropriate low points, but be sure to set stop losses. Heavy positions for speculation are not recommended.
Summary:
CT is not suitable for blind bottom-fishing, be careful of shorts getting squeezed on TRUTH, and TRUMP can cautiously look for low entry opportunities.
Altcoins are really tough to trade both long and short right now; controlling position size is more important than anything else Predicting whether Bitcoin can break through, when I hear "everyone thinks it will," I first want to ask: Are we all looking at the same screenshot? In regular trading, when many people chase to buy, it can indeed push the price; however, popular odds in prediction markets don't necessarily cause the event to happen. I use odds as a reference, but when several groups keep circulating the same piece of news, that hardly counts as cross-validation. If you remove those posts that cite each other, who is left with new evidence?Changing the trading target doesn't necessarily mean changing the risk. When I read this news, what popped into my mind wasn't "recovered," but rather: after exiting a trade, is the risk actually removed, or has it just been concentrated somewhere else?
According to Odaily citing HyperBot data, Brother Maji Huang Licheng has fully closed his previous long position of 11,000 HYPE tokens with 10x leverage, incurring a loss of about $31,600; he then continuously increased his long position on Ethereum with 25x leverage, raising the position to 5,200 ETH. Currently, the overall position has slightly turned profitable, with an unrealized gain of $158,000 and a return on investment of 32.56%.
My judgment is that this looks more like a re-concentration of risk rather than diversification. Leaving HYPE and increasing ETH means the target changed, but the direction remains long; from these two positions, there is no indication of offsetting volatility by taking opposite directions.
Another aspect is leverage. At 25x leverage, returns are amplified, but price movements against the position will erode margin faster. The current unrealized gain reflects the present state but cannot protect the position against the next volatility. When I look at such quick updates, I tend to put "how much was earned" aside and focus more on the risk exposure.
If you could only add one piece of data to this whale activity update, would you prefer to see the liquidation price, margin size, or other holdings? Which one would most change your judgment? Based on the USD spot daily chart (UTC settlement), $BTC opened October at $83,556 and closed at $77,424, down 7.34%. Last October, it fell 3.96%. For two consecutive years, "Uptober" hasn't come. A 7.34% drop itself isn't large. In June this year, under the same criteria, $BTC fell 20.46% in a single month. What makes this time uncomfortable is not the magnitude, but the timing: many people are used to expecting a rise in October. This month was not a continuous decline. On October 2, the intraday high reached $87,249, the highest point of the month. For more than three weeks afterward, the daily closing price hovered above $80,000. The real wound came at the end of the month: on October 29, it dropped 4.27% in one day, and the next day the intraday low touched $76,141, the lowest of the month. The background is also not easy. In the early morning of October 29 Beijing time, the Federal Reserve kept interest rates at 3.75% to 4%, with a vote of 10 to 2; the two dissenting votes advocated raising rates by another 25 basis points. The statement said inflation is "still elevated." On the previous trading day, the US 10-year Treasury yield closed at 5.05%. With money this expensive, risk assets must first answer one question: why are they worth holding? What should be watched more is $ETH. In the same month, it fell from $2,684 to $2,253, a drop of 16.07%, nearly 9 percentage points deeper than $BTC $INTC Although I also bought a bit of Intel, my view is more extreme because I think this AI wave is about to collapse. The reason is simple: if you throw a few stones into a river, you can see the ripples, right? These leading big tech companies have poured in hundreds of billions of dollars, and then you tell me they produced a short drama called Red Fruit. Who can hold on to that?
