$LIT LIT is being aggressively pulled up this round, with contract transactions reaching 10 times the spot volume, all thanks to a chain reaction of short squeezes pushing it up.
Short sellers are bearing interest costs daily to hold on, becoming fuel for the pump.
But the spot market tells a completely different story; whales have quietly withdrawn 17 million tokens and fled within half a month.
The price surge relies entirely on leverage forcing shorts to cover, with no real buying support on the spot side.
Once the short positions are liquidated, the bulldozer will stop.
Look at its 3.4 billion valuation bubble and the massive 50% of tokens set to unlock in December.
The selling pressure is written into the contract. Jumping in now just makes you an ATM for the cashing-out whales.

👇It now feels more like an event repricing phase rather than a chasing-the-rally phase. With INJ's product benefits, why hasn't the price kept up? I monitored the market all night, and the most direct impression is: after BTC returned above 78,000, there was no sense of a "full risk-on" relaxation; ETH stabilized around 2,270 but showed only moderate willingness to push higher, while INJ had a noticeably higher density of news than price elasticity. This combination indicates the market is not trading on "whether the story exists," but rather on "how much the story is worth." Let's clarify the facts first. Injective recently launched the AI computing power index perpetual contract SICI, advanced the Options testnet, collaborated with AWS, SMBC Nikko, and others to open Hacker House registration, and the community buyback also burned nearly 7.3 million INJ. Looking at this string alone, the ecosystem's pace is indeed fast, and the long-term narrative is strengthening. But the price reaction is muted, which is the key point: the positive news is broken down into "future cash flow expectations" rather than "immediate buying reasons." For BTC, after reclaiming 78,000, the key is whether it can hold and test 78,500 to 79,000. Holding means risk appetite is still recovering, providing rotation opportunities for altcoins; failing to hold means the market will quickly revert to defensive mode, with high beta assets being cut first. ETH is holding above 2,250 but lacks strong breakout momentum; it now feels more like a sentiment warm-up $BTC Observation: Last Friday, the spot ETF saw an outflow of $643 million. This rebound is driven by contracts, not spot.
BTC is now at 78,418, up 0.9% in 24 hours. Last Friday, it dipped to 76,155, a six-week low.
On the same day, spot BTC ETF had a net outflow of $643 million, but derivatives positions were increasing, mainly taken over by leveraged funds.
This week's schedule is packed: Tuesday is the US midterm elections, the same day the Reserve Bank of Australia meets, with the market widely expecting a hike to 4.85%. On Friday at 9:30 PM, the October non-farm payrolls will be released.
As someone currently at a loss, I'm only watching one thing now: the day ETFs turn back to net inflows. Without spot buying, the gains around 78,000 are very likely to be given back. Regarding Apple's financial report, Linx's choice is Yes. In my opinion, Apple's performance this quarter is definitely excellent, and the user moat remains the key to Apple's success.
For example, in our daily lives, have you seen Xiaomi users or Huawei users? Maybe, but not many. However, there are many Apple users.
From the data, revenue is $113.4 billion, a year-on-year increase of 10.7 points.
iPhone revenue accounts for about $56.4 billion, making it a company with a very high product proportion.
However, due to rising memory prices and supply chain pressure, the current gross margin is only 47%-48%.
In summary, Apple makes money easily, but the market wants to see how fast Apple can make money.
#苹果新CEO迎来iPhone18首份成绩单 💹 Market Snapshot｜Divergent Trends: Who Will Take the Lead?
$BTC 78500, slight 24-hour rise📈1.5%, still down about 4.5% over seven full trading days❗️, price hovering around eighty thousand. Localized recovery does not mean the long-term downtrend is over; small gains can’t hide the broad decline.
$RE 0.34, 24-hour drop📉5%, although it rebounded about 2.5% in the first six hours, trading volume was nearly 70% lower than the previous six hours. The pullback is valid, but the heat hasn’t returned; rebound cannot be judged by volume during a decline.
$OKB 113, OKX platform token has fallen📉 for three consecutive days🔴
News of OKX teaming up with ICE and Trade.xyz to launch perpetual contracts is spreading, but the market is not buying it. The platform token has its own rhythm and does not follow BTC, but after Binance was hacked, all exchanges were dragged down🦢
$WLD 0.38, World App users are increasing but the token price is not following 🌐 The bioinformatics privacy risk remains, with regulatory stance unclear. It’s different from other altcoins—there are real users, but regulation is a sword hanging overhead.
$ASTER 0.7, a new cross-chain perpetual contract public chain, with only 1 million in volume and very poor liquidity. Funds are all waiting for BTC to show direction; lacking strong catalysts, it temporarily fails to attract heat.〽️
#非农来袭，12月加息会否生变？ BTC's three cycles point to the same thing: either the last shake before the start, or another dip to dig.
Weekly chart: If big money is accumulating at a low level, point C is still missing, and it must at least retest 63,000. The counter-evidence is clear—any candlestick closing below 74,000 indicates accumulation isn't finished; at this point, talking about a main upward wave to 100,000 is wishful thinking.
3-day chart: The structure has reached stage D, consolidating for 70 days. Small-scale re-accumulation usually takes about 70 days to set direction. Recently, volume increased but no new lows were made, indicating demand entering the market. A pullback to 73,800–75,500 is needed to complete the structure; breaking below 73,800 invalidates the 3-day stage D.
12-hour chart has two paths: either another drop to 73,800–75,500 to clear lower orders, or a V-shaped recovery before Wednesday to reclaim the starting drop point and rise above 80,000. If it lasts more than 3 days, it’s no longer a spring; afterward, it must not break below 79,300.
This is not giving direction, but conditions: whichever scenario plays out, follow that. Deadlines are 74,000, 73,800, and 79,300.
Are you holding your position waiting, or waiting empty-handed for it to choose? $BTC $FIL brothers, this rebound of FIL is basically at its end, the pressure around 0.88 is holding tight, it simply can't break through. Now it's a typical pullback after hitting resistance, with a high probability of a second dip.
Let's look at the whale data again. Currently, the number of short-position whales far exceeds the long-position ones. There are 295 whales holding short positions, and most of them are in profit. On the long side, the average entry price is still high, with a lot of trapped positions. In terms of capital, shorts have the advantage.
The short-term first target is directly focused on the 0.78–0.8 support range. If it falls here, I plan to reduce some short positions and take some profits.
If there is a volume breakout, the downside space will open directly, and the next target will be 0.68–0.7. The current downtrend channel is suppressing the price; as long as the rebound can't reach the upper edge of the trendline, the short momentum won't stop #Palantir财报前瞻：高增长能否支撑高估值 It's over Wall Street brings perpetual contracts "into the living room" 🌐
On October 29, ICE partnered with Trade.xyz, and OKX entered the market through a joint venture, planning to bring perpetual contracts into the compliant U.S. market. 🧭
The highlight is not just another exchange collaboration, but the product logic migration: ICE provides trading clearing and regulatory credibility, Trade.xyz supplies the Hyperliquid technical foundation, and OKX offers retail access. The three parties are combining "compliant shell + on-chain engine + traffic entry point." ⚙️
Focusing only on $OKB and $HYPE risks misinterpreting industry signals as token signals. Approval is not finalized, and business operation does not necessarily mean price will rise. 📉
What’s more worth considering is that if perpetual contracts cover U.S. stocks, indices, commodities, and forex with 7×24 trading, traditional trading hours, margin rules, and risk control systems will all be reconsidered. 🕰️
The future may not be dominated by one side: Wall Street holds regulations and institutional funds, while native platforms hold product speed and global retail investors. After successful operation, the boundary may become a hybrid arena. 🏟️ Who wins depends on whether liquidity, compliance, and experience can coexist. #美联储官员释放加息信号，12月预期仍存分歧 #OKX、ICE与Trade.xyz联手，推动永续合约进入美国合规市场 The DeFi Trio: Long-term stories sound good, but each has its own short-term troubles
$LINK is stuck near $11, with weak rebounds and daily support around $10. However, Standard Chartered Bank has set a long-term target of $200 for LINK by 2030, betting on the oracle's essential role in the explosion of tokenized assets. AAVE is around $133; although the market has reopened, new collateral loans are banned—only repayments are allowed, no borrowing—so funds aren't circulating. This rebound feels more like a "window to escape" rather than a reversal. UNI is slowly declining with the broader market; Standard Chartered's 2030 target price is $100, assuming deployed stock token assets in DeFi reach $2.7 trillion. The common point among the three: the long-term narrative remains intact, but short-term lacks incremental capital.
Meme Sector: $PEPE is more "resilient" than $DOGE
After Binance was hacked, the attacker dumped about $32 million worth of PEPE, yet PEPE still rose 5.5% over the week, while DOGE fell 5%. PEPE withstood the selling pressure, indicating meme funds haven't fully withdrawn, but these coins heavily rely on hype and are mainly short-term speculative plays—not value investments.
FIL: The most awkward fundamentals
On-chain real storage revenue is pitifully low—"a few dollars in trades supporting a market cap of over a billion." Miners have rigid costs like electricity and bandwidth, secondary selling pressure persists, and there are whales holding large short positions on contracts. Until real paid storage demand picks up, FIL's rebound is likely an oversold correction, not a trend reversal.
#加密行业协同守护资产安全 I've always been puzzled: it's said that treasury companies hoard coins waiting for the price to rise, but $BTC is already at 82,000, so why are some people actually selling?
NXTT sold 5,833 coins. Bought 31,600 in March 2025, now liquidating to cash out nearly 450 million USD, citing security risks and quantum computing. Well, anyway, the unrealized gains are already several times their main business.
Strategy isn't selling, holding a base of 848,000 coins supporting a quarterly profit of 19.5 billion.
Don't explain their actions with faith anymore; they're all calculating their own accounts.The most striking scene of the Q3 earnings season: among Bitcoin treasury companies, some earned $19.5 billion in a single quarter, while others are busy selling coins.
Strategy posted a net profit of $19.53 billion, holding a base of 848,000 $BTC. The key is not the unrealized gains, but that while buying coins worth $14.33 billion during the year, it repurchased $2.04 billion in STRC preferred shares. Increasing holdings on one side while eliminating high-cost fixed-dividend debt on the other is a financial engineering move to convert stock price premium into zero-cost chips.
NXTT went in the opposite direction: authorized the sale or pledge of 5,833 BTC. These coins were acquired at $31,600 in March 2025, now sold above $82,000, cashing out nearly $450 million. The stated reasons are security incidents and quantum threats, but essentially the unrealized gains have multiplied several times the main business market value. DigitalX is more straightforward, selling 80 coins in July and another 30 in October, bringing in 32 million AUD in cash and repurchasing 120 million shares.
There’s also $COIN, which doesn’t rely on market trends: adjusted EBITDA increased 60% quarter-over-quarter, $USDC balance hit a new high of $22 billion, with service revenue accounting for 49%. What it sells is not price fluctuations, but liquidation and interest.
At the same $82,000 level, three different ways of life. The question is not who is right, but whether your returns depend on price or cash flow. How far can the suddenly resurrected CORE go?
First, my position: cost 0.018, current price 0.01385, a difference of 29.9% (0.018 ÷ 0.01385 − 1). So I’m watching this resurrection with a smile—the grave stirred, but the person is still in the pit.
Screenshot from OKEx at 10:32 today: CORE/USDT perpetual at 0.01385, 24h +2.36%, high 0.01434, low 0.01301, volume 300 million tokens / 4.1648 million USDT. It jumped straight from 0.01301 to 0.01434, a +10.2% move, then was pushed back 3.4%. On the 15-minute chart, EMA5 is 0.01389, EMA10 0.01387, EMA20 0.01381, all three tightly clustered within 0.58%, and the current price has fallen back below EMA5. MACD’s DIFF 0.0000738 and DEA 0.0000682 have both crossed above zero, histogram +0.0000111, the difference between the two lines matches, and the values are consistent.
How far it can go, I rank by levels, not by gains or losses. Just up to 0.01434, then it grinds back: 40%. If it breaks above 0.01434, the first target is the round number 0.015: 30%. Then pushing up to 0.016358—that was the historical low recorded by various sources on October 29, now turned into a resistance zone: 20%. Conversely, if it breaks below 0.01301 again: 10%.
This move isn’t pure spot bottom-fishing: OI at 1.19M shows leveraged positions are stacked on the contract. But turnover reveals the nature of the money: daily volume of 4.1648 million USDT against circulating market caps from 15 million to 23 million USD (discrepancies among JScript Home, CoinMarketCap, CoinGecko, taking the range), daily turnover is 18.1% to 27.8% (416.48 ÷ 2,300, 416.48 ÷ 1,500). This turnover isn’t from allocation holders, it’s short-term funds flipping—entering fast, exiting faster.
One more thing: the current funding rate is positive, longs are paying shorts. The higher the price goes, the more they pay, and the more people hold the positions. Historically, this structure rarely sustains growth trends, more often it pumps one day and dumps three days.
The calendar hasn’t changed: trading stops on November 30, withdrawals stop on December 30 (Bithumb announcement), 28 days left. So whether this is a last flash or a starting point depends on whether 0.01434 can close above with volume—if not, “resurrection” is just literal.
Discuss in the comments: which level do you think this wave can reach? Today's crypto market Fear and Greed Index is 37, in the fear zone. It's not extreme fear, but funds are clearly cautious.
This Friday at 21:30 Beijing time, the US will release the October non-farm payroll data. Last time in September, new jobs added were only 29,000, far below the market expectation of 90,000, with an unemployment rate of 4.2%, indicating a cooling labor market.
How to interpret this data? Weak but not collapsing, rate cut expectations are rising, which is somewhat positive for risk assets. If the data is too poor, the market might start worrying about a recession, causing an initial drop. If the data exceeds expectations strongly, rate cut expectations will cool down, putting pressure on the crypto market.
My own approach is to reduce positions two days before the data release, especially in small-cap coins, as their liquidity is thin and price spikes can be more exaggerated. After about an hour post-release, once the direction stabilizes, I decide what to do. #苹果新CEO迎来iPhone18首份成绩单 Bitcoin and Ethereum are undergoing a recovery, but the word "recovery" needs to be broken down.
At the price level, the recovery is fragile. $BTC hovers around $78,000, while Ethereum barely holds above $2,270. The real critical test lies higher: $82,000 for Bitcoin and $2,400 for Ethereum. The former is the touchstone for whether Bitcoin's current rebound can hold, and the latter coincides exactly with the 0.786 Fibonacci retracement level, a life-or-death line fiercely contested by bulls and bears. What is even more worrisome is that the driving force behind this rebound is not spot buying but short covering—nearly $930 million in leveraged positions were liquidated within 24 hours. Prices have returned, but the leverage has not. The structure is far from repaired.
However, $ETH's recovery occurs on a deeper level. After the Fusaka upgrade, PeerDAS reduced validators' bandwidth load by 87.5%, increased the blob target to 14 per block with a cap of 21, and expanded Layer 2 data space by 2.3 times. This is a substantial repair of the underlying scalability capacity, independent of short-term sentiment.
Prices are probing during the recovery, technology is advancing during the recovery. Recovery has never been synonymous with reversal; it merely gives the market a chance to reinforce the foundation before the next direction arrives.
#非农来袭，12月加息会否生变？ #Palantir财报前瞻：高增长能否支撑高估值 📊 PLTR Earnings Preview: The growth numbers check out, but no one can quite figure the multiples
Current status: Around $196, pulled back from the October high of $212.94, testing the 50-day moving average. Q3 expected revenue $2.18B (+84%), EPS $0.41 (+95%). The numbers aren't low, but that's not the main point.
Valuation reality: trailing P/S ~73x, forward P/S ~55x, multiples based on own FCF guidance about 97x. Rule of 40 hits 155, net margin 55% — quality is real, and the premium is real too.
Today's lifeline: $190. Closing above the 50-day MA before earnings gives confidence to those betting on another "guidance blowout"; if it breaks, the narrative shifts from "buying growth" to "cutting multiples."
🗣️ One sentence supplement: US commercial revenue Q2 growth 149%, customer count +35%, fundamentals have no cracks. But a 55x forward P/S is not priced for "how good this year is," but for "80%+ growth every year for the next five years." High growth can support high valuation, but only if every time it’s not just "good," it must be "good enough to make sell-side raise their models."
In short: $190 is the bull-bear dividing line before earnings; holding it bets on guidance, breaking it kills multiples — PLTR’s problem has never been growth, but "how fast counts as fast enough." Withdrawal defense has been raised: $ETH OKX around 2293 (24h about +1.3%, high/low about 2299/2248), Fear & Greed index around 37. After Binance Update #4 phased withdrawal resumption, about $3.64 billion net outflow recorded on-chain, but price has not dropped back to pre-withdrawal levels. Latest settlement of US spot ETH ETF is still 10/30 (Farside) with about $156 million net outflow; no new data Monday morning. Staking inflow about 1.125 million ETH, outflow only about 709. Slightly bullish: visible restart of selling pressure, structure holding first, volatility left for tomorrow's vote. Will you first open $ETH to check the market, or wait and watch the election?
$ETH $BTC zoomed out.
Since I posted "Gold → Stocks → Cryptocurrency":
Gold: −11%
Nasdaq: −2%
Bitcoin: +28%
Ethereum: +45%
I don't see a new 4-year cycle starting.
What I see is the final stage of a larger cycle.Ethereum has climbed back above $2,250, with the price once approaching $2,270.
However, the current funding situation for ETH remains less than ideal.
The US Ethereum spot ETF has seen net outflows for five consecutive trading days, with about $155.7 million withdrawn on October 30 alone.
From October 26 to 30, the cumulative net outflow reached $431.4 million.
Notably, approximately 43.8 million ETH are currently staked, accounting for about 35.9% of the circulating supply.
A large amount of ETH is locked in staking systems, but this has not prevented the recent price decline.
I believe ETH needs to first break above $2,300 in the short term to have a chance to further improve market sentiment.
If it falls back below $2,200, the rebound may still be limited.
Compared to $BTC, $ETH currently needs to see sustained spot buying.
$SOL The magnitude of this round of adjustment in gold has clearly exceeded many people's expectations.
On November 2nd, the international gold price was around $3,898, with a cumulative decline of about 6.8% in October.
At the same time, global tech stocks were also falling, with the Nasdaq dropping nearly 7% in October.
Normally, a sharp stock market decline tends to benefit gold, but this time both experienced a simultaneous adjustment.
One possible reason is that some investors are facing margin and liquidity pressures, needing to sell gold to obtain cash.
Additionally, the yield on the US 10-year Treasury remains close to 4.95%, and the high interest rate environment also increases the opportunity cost of holding gold.
My long-term allocation logic for gold has not changed, but in the short term, it is necessary to re-examine the price performance around $3,900.
If it cannot firmly stand above $4,000 again, the adjustment period may be extended. $XAU $XAUT $PAXG The leverage settings for the current positions vary greatly, ranging from 7x to 32x, with the profit elasticity differing significantly according to the leverage. The 32x high-leverage ETH long position accurately hit the market's upward node, leveraging a small margin to achieve over 160% return, becoming the core profit pillar of the account; the 10x leveraged SNDK long position showed steady performance, delivering positive and stable returns; the 7x leveraged SOXL long position, despite having the lowest leverage, became the largest loss source in the account due to the inverse volatility of the underlying asset.
Capital Occupation and Risk Characteristics
The maintenance margin rate for all three positions is exactly the same at 515.36%, indicating that the overall account safety buffer remains ample and has not yet reached the forced liquidation risk line. However, the margin occupied by the SOXL position far exceeds the combined margin of the other two profitable positions. The heavy allocation in a low-elasticity inverse asset directly causes a significant erosion of the account's overall profits, exposing an imbalance in position allocation.
Future Optimization Directions
Going forward, it is necessary to realign the relationship between leverage and the volatility of the underlying assets: appropriately reduce leverage for high-volatility assets, reasonably increase leverage for low-volatility trending assets, and strictly control the margin occupation limit for any single asset to avoid a single loss eroding the profits of multiple positions. #非农来袭，12月加息会否生变？ #AMD Earnings Preview: HeliosAI System Commercialization Progress
AMD will report earnings after the market closes on November 3rd Eastern Time (early morning November 4th Beijing Time).
On the eve of AMD's earnings: The PC panic is already priced in; the real test lies in 2027
On the last trading day before the earnings, AMD plunged nearly 11% dragged down by Intel's poor guidance. This means the bad news for PCs has already been priced in by the market.
Key data: Q3 revenue expected at 13.08 billion (+41%), EPS expected at 1.95. Meeting these numbers is no surprise; the focus is entirely on the conference call:
Highlight 1: Server CPUs (can they exceed expectations). Management has raised the outlook for the server business in the second half to over 80% year-over-year growth. Strong demand for proxy AI could be a short-term boost to gross margin.
Highlight 2: 2027 guidance and Helios. MI450 has begun initial shipments, and Anthropic holds up to 2GW in orders. The market wants to hear if management is confident in confirming the goal of doubling data center revenue by 2027.
Options and volatility: Options only price in ±6% volatility, but AMD's historical earnings volatility is often two to three times the priced level.
In summary:
Q3 revenue around 13 billion is no surprise. The real repricing happens on the call: whether server CPUs can push gross margin higher, and whether the 2027 doubling guidance can hold. Options only price in 6%, but AMD is never mild.📈$xAMD After the $BTC security shock, where will BTC's pricing anchor return to? Following exchange security incidents, the market first re-evaluates custody and liquidity risks; however, the Bitcoin network itself and centralized platforms do not share the same risks. If spot demand recovers and volatility converges, selling pressure may be absorbed. The opposing scenario is continued capital withdrawal from risk assets; if spot continues to see net outflows and rebounds lack volume, I would downgrade my assessment. In practice, one should separate exchange trading volume from on-chain spot demand: the former reflects trading venue activity, while the latter is closer to new capital absorption. Only when pullbacks narrow, the spot trading ratio improves, and funding rates are not overheated, is the recovery more credible; if it is merely short covering, the sustainability remains limited.2000 ETH were sold, but let's cool down first: I don't agree with taking this transaction directly as evidence that an "ancient whale is bearish on Ethereum." I tend to look for risks first, but a single reduction in position is not enough to support a trend judgment. According to on-chain monitoring cited by the source, after the POAP founder sold ETH for USDC, the funds were transferred to an address previously marked as an ICO whale. My judgment is that the bearish implication of this news is easily exaggerated.
I'm stuck on two points. Selling coins is an action that has already happened, but there is no explanation of the remaining holdings or the motivation for selling; if it's just an adjustment of fund allocation, then inferring continuous selling pressure is me over-interpreting. The transfer of funds to a marked address does not mean the two identities have been confirmed to belong to the same person. The "founder" and the "ancient whale" combined make a catchy headline, but the more legendary the identity, the less it means the market outlook is more accurate.
Of course, bears shouldn't be stubborn either. If we later see the related address continuously selling to the market and the absorption clearly weakens, I will upgrade it from an isolated transaction to a supply signal that needs caution; this is my observation condition, not a fact that has already happened. Don't rush to get excited, and don't rush to panic. Regarding this sale, are you bullish or bearish? Is your reason actual selling pressure, or do you think the actions of old holders carry more information?$RENDER
Decentralized GPU infrastructure has a compelling use case as AI and digital content creation demand computing resources. Render connects distributed GPU providers with rendering workloads, creating a different investment narrative from conventional AI software tokens. The important question is whether real customer demand can support lasting network activity. Competition, computing reliability, and the distinction between platform usage and token demand remain essential considerations.INSIGHT: Bitcoin’s last THREE cycle bottoms came shortly after the U.S. midterm elections.
2014 → 71 days later
2018 → 39 days later
2022 → 13 days later
The next U.S. midterm election is TOMORROW, November 3rd.
If the pattern repeats, late 2026 to early 2027 could be a window to watch for $BTC’s next cycle bottom.
Three examples make an interesting pattern, but they don’t prove elections drive the cycle.$BTC $ARB
Arbitrum illustrates the difference between scaling blockchain activity and capturing economic value. Lower transaction costs and Ethereum compatibility can attract applications, but competition among Layer-2 networks remains intense. Developers and users need compelling reasons to stay once incentives fade. Network activity, application revenue, and the relationship between ecosystem growth and ARB token demand deserve separate analysis rather than being treated as the same metric.1.2 Let's get to the point: why is this the mid-bear market phase rather than the early bull market? Fundamentally, that's one aspect; technically, there are the following points:
1. Trading volume: A bear market bottom must be accompanied by huge trading volume. At the end of 2022, there was massive turnover, but from June to now, trading volume has been sluggish and even gradually shrinking, which is not indicative of an absolute bottom.
2. Accumulation range: Major players accumulate within a narrow consolidation range. For example, in 2022, the accumulation range accounted for less than 20% of the entire downtrend, showing small candlesticks; whereas in 2026, this consolidation range accounts for 38% of the entire downtrend with large candlestick swings, which is completely unfavorable for accumulation.
3. False breakout: In 2022, after breaking through the 25,000 accumulation range, prices moved away from the major players' cost and did not fall back. But in 2026, the breakout above 83,000 was clearly a false breakout, and instead, the monthly candlestick engulfed and fell back.In Q3 2026, DOGE's share of all crypto payments on BitPay didn't decline but actually rose—from just over 6% at the start of last year to around 7-8%. BTC and ETH didn't take its market share; the real competitor was stablecoins.
I reviewed the data. BitPay processed over 300,000 payments in six months, with BTC accounting for just over 40%, shrinking from its previous dominant share; ETH hovered around 10%, remaining steady; DOGE held 7-8%, even higher than at the start of 2025. Looking at this trend alone, the payment narrative for Dogecoin hasn't collapsed.
But the real heavy hitter is next door. Stablecoins have already captured 40% of BitPay's volume by amount, and at peer CoinGate, USDC surpassed BTC in the first half of the year to become the leader. The logic is as straightforward as a food delivery discount: spenders fear volatility, receivers fear volatility, stablecoins please both sides and naturally dominate.
So why has DOGE held its ground? Because it's cheap, fast, and has a loyal community. About 60-70% of its payments come from retail and e-commerce, acting as a handy small change jar—buying a coffee, topping up a membership—no one cares about a few cents of price difference. The risk is clear: on-chain active addresses have shrunk to the lowest in nearly nine years; the faith remains, but fewer people are "walking the dog." The payment story of $DOGE wasn't crushed by BTC or ETH; the real opponent is the stablecoin that neither rises nor falls—Dogecoin has defended the small change market, but to advance further, it needs real users to come back and pay, not just rely on sentiment to survive.$OKB The whole network is watching the incident next door, but the funds are quietly voting with their feet.
Big holders have been moving money into OKX wallets recently, and the net inflow data for this month is clear.
Back to the OKB chart, it has quietly been closing with bullish candles these past few days.
The pullback to around 108 has formed a higher bottom, and the bears can't break it at all.
After all, the tokens have long been fully circulated, so there's no institutional unlocking queue to dump the market; the downside space is completely sealed off.
Now the main force is grinding here.
With platform fees supporting the bottom, once the small resistance above is absorbed, the next move up will enter a chip vacuum zone.

The current 85% gross margin and 8.5x low PE represent a cyclical peak illusion: profits rely on price hikes rather than a moat, consumer demand has been destroyed by high prices, and growth heavily depends on AI spending from a few cloud providers; long-term contracts lock volume but cap prices, about half of the capacity is exposed to the spot market; the company ranks fifth in market share, has no DRAM/HBM hedging, joint venture fixed costs are rigid, and after new capacity comes online in 2027, prices are very likely to fall, facing a double hit on profits and valuation.
In short, bearish!#PalantirQ3Valuation The "100%" caught my eye at first glance, and I almost took it to mean the market was completely one-sided. After being in the circle for a year, I realize I’m still easily swayed by such neat ratios and tend to forget to look at what exactly is being counted 🤔
This message says that in the past hour, OKX ETH ($ETH) USDT perpetual contracts had 100 liquidation records, totaling at least $2.03 million; long positions about $0, short positions about $2.03 million, accounting for 100%, with the largest single liquidation about $1.15 million. The source is OKX’s public liquidation data.
My understanding is that this is more like a partial position pressure chart and can’t be directly taken as a sentiment vote for the entire market. The largest single amount is more than half of the total, indicating the amount is largely influenced by this one liquidation, so it can’t be said that short sellers generally couldn’t hold on. Also, 100 records don’t equal 100 people; the statistics only cover one platform in one hour, which can show that shorts were squeezed during this period but can’t explain all reasons for the price rise.
I haven’t figured out yet how to distinguish between a few large positions being liquidated and a broader short exit. Next, I will observe whether the liquidation amounts remain concentrated in a few records, reminding myself not to take a striking ratio as the complete market answer.$CORE official directly does a hard fork, burning all 186 million coins that were unreleased in the vulnerable address in one go.
Looking at CORE now, the circulating market cap is only around 25 million USD.
Its mechanism is quite ruthless; if you want to reap high yields from BTC interest, you have to forcibly lock CORE.
This means cutting off the source of selling pressure on one side, while using high interest to lure big holders to lock the circulating supply in a small black room.
Small market cap plus forced lock-up means the chips available to sell on the market are basically drained.
In such an extremely oxygen-deprived market, a little capital to spark it up can make the light market fly with just a pull.

👇$ETH Binance withdrawals have resumed, Ethereum also bounced back to 2263 yesterday, now at 2290. The 6.3 billion black swan event wrapped up in five days, with 90% already compensated. Reserve proof was shown on Monday. The panic sell-off on Thursday hit 2181, completely blood-stained chips, retail investors loved to pick them up, but how many actually got on board? More are still trapped. Look at this funding rate, it's actually negative, shorts are still stuck at the door. I'm long at 2450, can't cut losses nor add more. My view: the black swan landing is actually good news since the worst is over, but the main factor is still interest rate hikes, with an 86% probability weighing down. The rebounds are all borrowed strength. There will be more rate hikes in December. Hopefully, the rebounds will be stronger. In a market that falls every day, no one will like it.I've never really understood: AI companies are desperately building data centers, but what exactly does that have to do with the few coins I hold?
This week, I saw the answer. After Alphabet's earnings report, its stock dropped 12.6%, Intel fell 28.58%, and the Nasdaq dropped 2% over the week. The reason isn't that they're making less money, but that the market is starting to ask when the money will come back.
Even OpenAI, which is the best at storytelling, cut its fundraising target from $30 billion to $20 billion. Barclays is still buying default insurance on AI infrastructure loans exceeding $10 billion.
If banks are buying insurance, and I'm still holding onto $BTC and $ETH positions stubbornly, it's honestly hard not to be worried.What BTC fears most now is not the non-farm payroll data, but that both bulls and bears think they have a sure win
Recently, the crypto space really feels like the calm before the storm. Whenever major news breaks in the market, some people call for a surge in advance, while others prepare for a new round of sharp declines. But the truly interesting thing is that after the news is released, the market often moves differently from what most expect.
This Friday, the US non-farm payroll data will be released, and BTC and ETH may once again experience intense volatility. What I’m more concerned about is whether leverage in the futures market is starting to accumulate. If a large number of traders bet on the same direction, a sudden market reversal could trigger a chain of stop losses and forced liquidations, amplifying the volatility.
Rather than guessing whether the data is good or bad, I prefer to observe changes in volume, open interest, and funding rates. Especially the reverse liquidations after false breakouts, which are often more exciting than simple price rises or falls.
This time, do you think the market will liquidate longs or shorts first?
$BTC $ETH #非農來襲，12月升息會否生變？ The most noteworthy aspect of this earnings season is not who fell by how much, but that the market is starting for the first time to score every AI expenditure.
After Alphabet's earnings report, its stock dropped about 12.6%, Intel fell 28.58%, and Nasdaq declined 2% for the week. The common factor is not poor performance, but the market suddenly asking the same question: When will the money turn back into cash flow?
The financing side has already provided an answer. OpenAI lowered its fundraising target from $30 billion to $20 billion, and its target valuation dropped from $1.4 trillion to $1.25 trillion. This is not just valuation fluctuation; it is an active balance sheet reduction, with the amount of money they can raise being one-third less than originally planned.
The credit side is even more critical. Barclays is reportedly exploring purchasing credit default protection for AI infrastructure loans exceeding $10 billion. Banks starting to buy insurance for AI infrastructure loans indicates that the risk is no longer considered zero, and exposure extends to construction, equipment, and material suppliers.
My judgment: AI capital expenditure is shifting from imagination space to return acceptance, and this switch is hard to reverse. For risk assets, this is not a one-time crash but a sustained valuation suppression. $BTC behaves more like a liquidity asset, $ETH follows overall risk appetite, and coins purely driven by AI narratives will be prioritized for reduction.
Worth considering: If a significant portion of this AI infrastructure is built on credit, the first to encounter problems will likely not be the repeatedly discussed giants, but those who build the facilities and supply the equipment for them. After reviewing projects like UNI, AAVE, LINK, PENDLE that have been followed for a long time, I haven't seen any major new catalysts worth highlighting for now.
However, the unlocking data for ENA is somewhat interesting.
There was originally an unlocking today; CoinGecko shows an estimated release of 40.63 million tokens, valued at about $7.5 million. But there are articles online claiming 275 million tokens, which clearly shows discrepancies in figures. The actual release situation still needs to be verified on-chain.
ENA is currently around $0.185, down about 2% in 24 hours, with a trading volume of approximately $210 million.
I think Ethena's real issue isn't this unlocking amount, but when its stablecoin business can convert into sustained buying pressure for ENA.
The scale of USDe is still short of the $7.5 billion first-tier buyback threshold. Competing with stablecoin projects like Sky, having users and scale alone isn't enough; ultimately, it depends on how much value the token can capture.
#加密行业协同守护资产安全 Binance hackers use new methods.
Therefore, the team reduces the likelihood of stablecoins being frozen by providing loans to the TRON $TRX network. The specific process is as follows:
1. Exchange TRX for stablecoins.
2. Deposit stablecoins into lending protocols to obtain proxy tokens.
3. Transfer proxy tokens to another wallet.
4. First exchange them back to stablecoins, then transfer to another network, and finally exchange into Ethereum.
This is a race between on-chain traceability and asset transfers to evade control.
This incident will reveal which companies have good reputations, can handle issues quickly, and provide sufficient compensation to users.#非农来袭，12月加息会否生变？
The upcoming nonfarm payroll data is definitely the highlight of the current financial market. The general market expectation is that October will see an increase of about 60,000 jobs, a significant rebound compared to the previous 29,000, with the unemployment rate expected to remain around 4.2%. However, this data not only reflects the employment situation but directly determines the Federal Reserve's rate hike path in December.
The current macroeconomic background is quite complex. The Fed previously kept rates in the 3.75% to 4.00% range, but the core PCE year-on-year rose to 3.1% in September, indicating that inflationary pressures have not completely dissipated. Therefore, the market pricing for a 25 basis point rate hike in December has already reached 70%. The key question now is whether this nonfarm data will push rate hike expectations higher or cause them to cool down. Once expectations change, U.S. Treasury yields, the dollar index, and risk assets like Bitcoin will all experience sharp fluctuations.
Based on discussions in the community, everyone is very pragmatic about the Fed's macro outlook. Hawkish rhetoric from officials alone can no longer significantly raise rate hike pricing; the market won't react without solid data confirming the direction. From the current market response, BTC has slightly risen by 0.64%, overall in a state of bated breath. The moments before and after the data release are often the most intense for bulls and bears battling, so one must be wary of sudden spikes and violent volatility. $BTC I recently scrolled through Orbit and saw a big brother who has been consistently investing $20 daily for over 100 days. I deeply admire his perseverance, but it also raised a question: which strategy is better, daily fixed-amount investing or monthly fixed-amount investing? Since most people invest once a month, I created a chart to compare.
Conclusion: There's almost no difference.
$20 $608.34 Number of investments 3166 104 Total investments 63320 63267 Final value 301112 299358 Return 375% 373.2% Cost 16477 16560
Daily earns 1,754 USDT more, only a 0.59% difference (8.6 years).
Why is there no difference? The advantage of "daily investing" is buying at more price points. But 3,166 days vs. 104 months, both have already covered all price ranges. Over the long term, the average cost will converge.Scumbag Man Observation Week

Wait for the shoe to drop before making a move
Mainly rely on having food in hand to stay calm8x leverage, I first saw this monitor stop here. I don't play with high leverage, not because I think I'm clearer-headed than anyone else, but because I know I don't want to constantly watch the market. This newly opened $ZEC short position has a nominal value of about $50,600, the direction is clear, but the result still depends on how the market moves.
What concerns me is that leverage turns "willing to wait" into "may not be able to afford to wait." Roughly calculated at 8x, a reverse fluctuation of about 12.5% corresponds to the scale of the initial margin, and this is not even the exact liquidation line; the actual situation is also affected by margin mode, margin calls, and maintenance margin requirements. If the price moves in the opposite direction first, even if the judgment is correct later, you may have already been forced to exit.
So from my perspective as someone who holds spot assets, long-term judgment and short-term positions are two different things. Spot can also lose money, and holding longer doesn't guarantee recovery; but without leverage, at least you won't be forced out simply due to insufficient margin. I hold and don't move, provided I regularly check the original reasons for holding, rather than making decisions based on someone else's short position.
Whether this trade will be profitable, no one can say for sure now. Leverage always leaves less room for error in judgment. For friends holding ZEC long-term, when encountering such leveraged short positions, will you re-examine any holding reasons, or completely exclude it from your judgment?$INTC This round of US stock market correction should not be underestimated. Intel, SanDisk, and Circle have all experienced significant declines. The more intense the previous rally was, the stronger the impact of the current pullback.
I have been tracking these targets, which happen to belong to completely different main sectors: chip manufacturing, AI storage track, and stablecoin financial infrastructure. Through this collective sell-off, it is clear that the market is undergoing a fundamental shift: capital is no longer willing to pay purely for stories and long-term expectations. The focus of evaluation has shifted to solid financial reports, profits, and sustainable earning potential.
In the past, many stocks could keep rising solely based on optimistic narratives and expectations; now capital has become rational. If performance fails to meet the market's prior imagination, a sharp correction is likely. Going forward, whether a stock can sustain a strong upward trend depends primarily on whether its financial reports can present convincing data proving the realization of its profit logic. #非农来袭，12月加息会否生变？ $xSKHY A couple of days ago, I got stuck holding SanDisk, and today seeing Hynix's daily chart drop near 155 made me gasp.
【Why is Hynix stronger?】
On the market, although Hynix also pulled back sharply, the MACD shows a bullish crossover below zero, indicating expectations for a rebound and recovery.
Logically, Hynix holds HBM4, an AI hard currency, with profit margins as high as 80%, and long-term contracts lock in more than half of the production capacity for the next two years—this is certainty! In contrast, SanDisk relies purely on the NAND cycle; once price hikes cool down, it immediately suffers.
One is a tough player relying on computing power, the other is a weakling dependent on spot market conditions. I previously suffered big losses betting on SanDisk; now I’d rather wait for Hynix to stabilize and enter on the right side than catch the flying knife of the spot cycle. $SKHYNIX $SNDK The leader has something to say
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 worse, the Coinbase Bitcoin premium index 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, the 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.
Some comments say that mainstream and Hynix slowly rose over the weekend, but after being deceived by the dog whales so many times, they are a bit skeptical and feel it’s the calm before the storm. I think this intuition is very accurate. There is no substantial improvement in funding; relying on such low-volume slight gains over the weekend cannot hold up. #BTC持续承压，资金与市场走势出现分歧
Last night, BTC fell below 77,000 and is now slightly up 0.65%, hovering nearby. Let’s see if it can retake 80,000. If it can’t hold, expect a deeper correction, with resistance above at 84,000 to 85,000. Do not chase the rise or kill the fall; set your stop losses well.
The above analysis is time-sensitive; orders must have stop losses set. Good luck. $BTC $ETH $ZEC 🕰️🕰️Bitcoin's bottom in the past three cycles appeared shortly after the U.S. midterm elections.
2014 → 71 days later
2018 → 39 days later
2022 → 13 days later
The next U.S. midterm election is tomorrow, November 3.
If this pattern repeats, late 2026 to early 2027 could be a window worth watching for the next cycle bottom of $BTC.
These three examples form an interesting pattern but do not prove that elections drive the cycle.
Will history repeat itself?
Could it be that this is not the bottom yet? $ETH $ZEC #Circle财报在即，稳定币增长能否兑现收益？ Midterm election countdown, don't bet on who will win, first look at the $1.1 billion "death trigger"
Lords, the countdown to the November 3 midterm elections is on, and the latest polls show the Democrats have over an 83% chance of retaking the House, with Wall Street already pricing it in.
Looking back at historical records: after the last four midterm elections, BTC short-term dropped sharply by 71%, 64%, 51%, and 27% respectively, with the lowest points appearing 13 to 71 days after the election; but over the 12 months following the election, the average increase was 53.7%. In short: short-term dips after the election, mid-term recovery.
More importantly is the current time window. Just settled $1.1 billion BTC options, about 70% of Gamma is concentrated between 75,000 and 82,000. Market makers have withdrawn hedging orders, option sellers have to wait for the results before opening new positions, leaving the market with less of a buffer. A market without a buffer can be pierced deeply by a single needle.
Bloomberg's survey gives predictions: full Republican control at 90,800, full Democratic control at 76,450, split Congress at 84,100. A cold splash of reality: these numbers are for defense, not for betting—who knows what dish Congress will serve?
So the rule is simple: don't heavily bet on direction on election night, the Gamma blind spot can spike without warning; wait for the results to land and for market makers to return before making moves. The election is not a bull market switch, it's a volatility amplifier. When the knob is turned all the way, better stay away first. $BTC In the past thirteen Octobers, Bitcoin rose in ten of them.
Now, it has fallen for two consecutive Octobers.
This year it dropped 7%.
The whole network is looking for reasons.
Blaming the Fed, blaming the whales, blaming the curse failing—all of that.
Last week, someone from BlackRock appeared on TV and said a blunt truth:
The market sees no war, no season now.
Only AI.
When AI trembles, the whole market trembles with it.
Google lost 500 billion in one day, causing a panic.
Even the old duo of oil prices and government bonds have split up.
What about Bitcoin?
It is now just a shadow of AI.
Last Thursday at midnight, when AI dropped, Bitcoin fell 4% overnight.
That night Binance was hacked, but no one even cared to talk about it.
So stop asking about rate cuts, and stop asking about halving.
Whether Bitcoin will rise this year
depends on when AI stops falling.
In short,
if you’re blaming Bitcoin now, you’re blaming the wrong target.
If you want to buy the dip, wait for AI to stop falling first.
