$ZHIPU
Breaking news says "Zhipu rose 11.7% in 1 hour." I checked the candlestick chart; it wasn’t a steady rise over the hour, but a sharp spike at 13:00: opened at 55.46, closed at 60.06, an 8.3% jump in one candle.
That candle traded 66,695 contracts, six times the previous candle’s 11,048. At 14:00 it touched 62.2, now at 61.5, the daily high was just now.
Looking at the morning session: from 9 to 11, three candles pushed it down from 58 to 53.8, volume around 30,000, a solid sell-off. The sellers then and the buyers four hours later are just two faces of the same money.
The fee rate is now 0.2%, annualized over 200%. Open interest is only 3.46 million USD, the pool is small, one candle can draw an 11% move. I won’t chase this; I just want to see how it pays this interest at tomorrow’s open.
#美国中期选举进入计票阶段，国会控制权将如何变化？ Woke up this morning, and the U.S. House of Representatives has a new leader.
Many people asked me whether this is good or bad for the crypto space. My view is that it's slightly bad in the short term, but not something to panic about.
What's bad? The CLARITY Act failed in the Senate in September by 49 to 50 votes, and if it’s not voted on again before January 3, it will expire. Next year, the House will be controlled by the Democrats, so rewriting the bill would have to pass Maxine Waters, who has always been tough on crypto. In short, the market structure bill probably won’t come through in the next two years.
Why no need to panic? Stablecoins are already regulated under the GENIUS Act, and the SEC and CFTC can issue their own rules. The path isn’t cut off; it’s just shifted from Congress to regulatory agencies.
Last night, BTC fell along with U.S. stock futures to around 75,600, now about 76,600. My approach is not to add positions and wait for the Senate’s decision.
Do you think the CLARITY Act still has a chance before January? Is there a chance, or not?

#CLARITY法案剩72小时，动议仍未提交 #BTC #CLARITY法案$SNDK
At 11 AM, SanDisk token dropped to 1049, now at 1135. It retraced back in four hours, just one dollar short of today's opening price at midnight of 1136.
At the same time, the Asian session is showing a different story. KOSPI fell 4% in the morning, with storage-heavy stocks dropping the hardest, but just now it turned positive wiping out the entire 4% loss. ChangXin Storage's token is now +11.9%, stronger than SanDisk's 4.7%. The morning sell-off was a sentiment move following the index, not a problem within the storage chain itself.
One thing makes me uneasy. The price has recovered, but the fee rate hasn't dropped much—when it crashed it was 0.051%, now still 0.0465%, annualized over fifty percent. Holdings are 127.6 million, even more than in the morning session. Those chasing longs are paying fees to hold; this buying is leveraged, not spot.
My view: The pit was dug by KOSPI and will be filled by KOSPI. But a pit created by leverage is much harder to climb out of the second time you step in.
#美国中期选举进入计票阶段，国会控制权将如何变化？ "40% Cash, Waiting for the Shoe to Drop"
I still keep 40% of my position empty, not because I'm bearish, but because I don't want to catch a falling knife in the sky (・ω・)ノ
What the market fears most now is not a drop, but a "policy reversal after the midterm elections." The prediction market data is quite striking: Democrats have a 95% chance to take the House and 72% for the Senate. Once Trump's camp loses influence, crypto industry regulation may tighten. The continuous outflow from institutions and reluctance to enter the market in the past two weeks is a preemptive risk-avoidance signal (｡•́︿•̀｡)
Looking back at BTC's scripts after the last three midterm elections: in 2014, losing both chambers, it bottomed in 71 days with about a 48% drop; in 2018, losing the House, it bottomed in 39 days with about a 50% drop; in 2022, losing the House, it bottomed in 13 days with about a 16% drop. All three times it first dug a pit, the difference was just the depth. History doesn't repeat, but emotions rhyme (ง •_•)ง
So my strategy is simple: don't guess the bottom, keep 40% cash and wait in batches. When the bad news lands, institutions return, and policy stance clarifies, it's not too late to act. Being out of the market isn't missing out, it's saving bullets for panic. After all, the most expensive phrase in the market is "this time it's different," and the cheapest is "I still have a position" (￣▽￣)~*

#美国中期选举进入计票阶段，国会控制权将如何变化？ Central-bank buying of 321 tonnes in Q3 is meaningful because it coincided with record ETF holdings, yet gold still traded near $3,900. That gap suggests demand is building a durable base, not immunity from the dollar, yields and deleveraging. With bar and coin demand down 19%, stabilization remains plausible but unproven.
#CentralBanksBuy321tGold Seeing "continuous net outflow," my heart tightened for a moment. Fear tends to jump the gun; before I even finished looking at the numbers, my mind had already started writing a pessimistic script for the market 🫠
According to SoSoValue data, on November 3rd Eastern Time, Bitcoin spot ETFs had a total net outflow of $116 million, marking three consecutive days of net outflow. However, Bitwise's BITB still had a net inflow of $21.9165 million that day.
My judgment is that short-term sentiment is bearish, but interpreting this as a "unified capital retreat" is an overreach. Continuous outflows tend to reinforce confirmation bias among onlookers, making every piece of news seem like bearish evidence; but the differing flows among products indicate that capital behavior is not uniform. For those actually adjusting their portfolios, I reserve the explanation that they "might be reducing risk" rather than directly labeling them as "panicking."
I also have to guard against myself: only looking for bad news when seeing outflows is the same flaw as only seeing positives when greedy. Moving forward, I want to see whether the net outflow continues rather than rushing to label the market.Early 8 o'clock plan: rebound 153.4~153.7 but short if it doesn't break through, target 151.34. Didn't wait for the rebound: at 09:00, 84,182 contracts at 151.74 cut down to 144.72, closed at 145.20, target penetrated, lowest 141.31.
Now 150.06, stuck at the 150.6 threshold. The bearish candle at 09:00 opened at 151.74, low 144.72, close, real body 6.54 points, price is climbing back to the upper half, a common area for a breakout pullback.

Bitcoin has pulled back from the election period low of $75,700 to $78,000, with a relatively fast short-term recovery. However, this rebound has not been supported by institutional funds; the US spot BTC ETFs have seen net outflows for two consecutive trading days, totaling about $1.042 billion, with BlackRock's IBIT seeing a single-day outflow of $405 million.
On the other hand, following the Binance security incident, users have net withdrawn about $4.72 billion, indicating that market risk appetite remains weak. The derivatives market saw a 51% increase in 24-hour contract volume, but open interest (OI) dropped by 1.63%, suggesting that while trading activity has increased, the willingness to open new positions has not strengthened accordingly.
The rise back to $78,000 is merely a recovery after a sharp drop, possibly driven by short covering. Reclaiming $78,000 in the short term is positive, but a true sign of strengthening would be ETF funds flowing back in and the price breaking and holding above $80,000 with volume. Otherwise, this rebound could easily turn into just a pause within a downtrend.$BTC Bullish counterattack before despair9.92 million tokens unlocked, but only 180,000 actually distributed.
The day after tomorrow, the core contributors of HYPE will unlock tokens. The tracking site shows 9.92 million tokens according to the schedule, which sounds alarming.
But the team made it very clear: this time only 180,000 tokens will actually be distributed, less than a fraction of the headline amount.
It was the same in October, planned 9.92 million, but about 3.75 million were actually transferred out. Unlocking does not mean dumping.
I think what's scary this time is the headline, not the quantity. Let's see if the $84 range can hold steady first.📅
$HYPE $BTC Brothers, don’t just focus on the candlestick charts, last night the macro market went completely crazy! A massive global capital storm is brewing, and this directly affects the thickness of our wallets. 🧐
Over at $ETH, the beautiful scene, Trump came out again with a frenzy of statements, telling the Fed that "cutting interest rates can balance the budget." But the slap in the face is that a Reuters survey shows more than half of forex strategists are optimistic about a short-term dollar rally, the US Treasury is maintaining the size of its debt, and with the Democrats likely to retake the Senate, this political game is intense.
Looking at $BNB in Europe, several ECB bigwigs (Müller, Nagel) collectively hawkish, hinting at more rate hikes in December, and possibly downgrading France’s GDP forecast. Reuters directly pushed the EUR/USD one-year forecast down to 1.16. The yen side continues to shout about "close cooperation" with the US. As for Switzerland’s inflation exploding and Canada possibly hiking rates again, global liquidity is under pressure.
What does this have to do with our crypto circle?
The dollar’s short-term strength definitely suppresses liquidity for our big cake (BTC) in the short term. Currently, BTC is very likely to continue wide-range consolidation, so don’t blindly chase highs and pay close attention to DXY (the US Dollar Index). If the dollar really strengthens as institutions expect, the linked rebound of ETH and altcoins may be hindered, and funds tend to stay on the sidelines. Short-term traders can focus on BTC’s support levels and changes in the yen’s safe-haven sentiment.
Brothers, do you think Trump’s statements this time can force the Fed to comply? Will BTC go bottom fishing next or continue to endure the hawks?$NEAR has fallen back from its high point and has been weakening recently.
Many people entered the market taking advantage of the inflation reduction proposal, only to face a typical sell-off after the good news was realized.
From a fundamental perspective, the HSP-029 proposal vote passed, lowering the annual issuance cap from 2.5% to 1.6% over 24 months. This is a long-term mild positive but cannot directly support the coin price in the short term.
Intents' cross-chain business data is decent, but the protocol's buyback volume is limited, making it difficult to absorb speculative selling at high levels. The narrative remains, but incremental funds are insufficient.
On the capital side, as a highly elastic AI public chain asset, its market performance is closely tied to overall market risk appetite.
With $BTC fluctuating and funds cautious, altcoins find it hard to strengthen independently. Contract positions are relatively high, posing significant risks of sweeping orders back and forth.
My personal judgment: short-term consolidation and bottoming, with a weak trend.
Whether it can strengthen in the mid-to-long term depends on continuous improvement in Intents' fee and buyback data, combined with a recovery in overall market risk appetite. Only the resonance of these two factors can provide a basis for reversal.
Strategically, avoid heavy left-side bottom-fishing; a large drop does not mean the correction is over.
Prioritize waiting for right-side signals:
Volume breakout and stabilization above 4.0, with simultaneous on-chain and exchange capital inflows, then follow with a small position.
First target 4.3–4.5, reduce positions in batches upon reaching resistance;
If it falls below 3.4 and cannot recover, pause long positions and continue waiting.
For such highly elastic assets, strictly control single position size and do not leverage to bet on a V-shaped reversal.- It now feels more like an emotional gate rather than a typical support level. Are you planning to reduce leverage in advance, or wait to see after a breakdown? My feeling from watching the market these past two days is that the rhythm has shifted from chasing gains to a game of strategy, even with a hint of shakeout. On the surface, it looks sideways, but quietly there's turnover underneath. The original information mentioned a key number: once BTC falls below 75,000, the long liquidation pressure on major CEXs would be about 1.001 billion USD. This scale is no small splash; it means there is dense leveraged buy-side piled below 75,000, and once breached, the liquidation chain will accelerate itself, potentially amplifying both the drop and speed. But I want to look at this from a cross-market linkage perspective. This BTC leverage trigger affects more than just itself. If 75,000 is lost, risk appetite will first contract; ETH and altcoins usually fall faster because their buy-side depends more on sentiment and incremental funds. Conversely, if this level holds repeatedly, shorts will gradually lose patience, and the squeeze during rebounds could be just as sharp. In other words, the market is not trading direction now, but who breaks first. Bullish path: repeated tests above 75,000 without breaking, weak hands get shaken out, leverage cools down, creating room for subsequent rebounds. Potential risk: when a real breakdown happens, liquidations self-reinforce, slippage increases, and bottom-fishers may catch the fall halfway down. My own adjustment approach is simple: reduce leverage first, then discuss views. With lighter positions, judgments won’t distort. Don’t wait for a waterfall to be forced into decisions. The key level is emo [Gold Returns to $4000, Democratic Landslide Is Changing the Market's Safe-Haven Logic]
Gold $XAU's recent rebound is driven by more than just safe-haven sentiment. The Democratic Party has made consecutive breakthroughs in the U.S. midterm elections, raising market concerns that changes in congressional power dynamics will add resistance to the Trump administration's economic policies. A weaker dollar and falling U.S. Treasury yields have provided more direct upward momentum for gold.
After retreating nearly 30% from the previous high, gold is once again challenging the $4000 mark, indicating new battles between bulls and bears at this level. The Democrats' breakthrough in the Senate, combined with Texas election results, has led the market to worry that Trump's subsequent policies will face more constraints, prompting capital to buy U.S. Treasuries and sell dollars, benefiting gold.
However, for gold to sustain its rebound, the Federal Reserve remains crucial. The market still holds relatively high expectations for a rate hike in December, and the November 6th nonfarm payroll data will be an important test. The stronger the employment data, the more rate cut expectations are suppressed, making it harder for gold to shake off interest rate pressure.
I tend to view this wave as a macro rebound after an oversell. It is important for gold to firmly hold above $4000 in the short term, but it is not yet time to declare a new bull market. Continued weakness in the dollar and U.S. Treasury yields is key to further recovery in gold.The results are out, and they differ from the previous prediction of a "split Congress"—this time the Democrats have taken both the House and the Senate, gaining full control of Congress. Trump's second term will face a Congress completely controlled by the Democrats. What does this landscape mean for the crypto community? Let me explain it clearly to you all. First, the short-term sentiment: bearish. Previously, the market bet on a "divided government," meaning a Republican White House and a Democratic Congress, balancing each other out. This setup is most favorable for the stock market because the president can't recklessly spend money. But now, with the Democrats controlling both chambers, fiscal spending may be loosened, inflation expectations will rise, and the pressure to raise interest rates will increase. This is not good news for assets like BTC that rely on liquidity. Next, regulation: this is what the crypto community should watch most closely. With the Democrats fully controlling Congress, their stance on crypto is "both regulation and rule-setting." The CLARITY Act, which was previously stuck in the Senate, is now likely to be pushed forward under Democratic leadership, but the content will be much stricter than the Republican version—stablecoins will need licenses, exchanges must register, and DeFi will be brought under regulatory oversight. In the short term, before regulatory details are finalized, the industry will face a period of uncertainty, and institutional funds will be cautious. But in the long term, clear legislation is actually a good thing—it's better than the SEC suing back and forth every day as it does now. Third, investigation and impeachment: these have little to do with the crypto community. The article mentions that the Democrats want to investigate the Trump family and initiate a third impeachment; these are political theatrics and have no direct impact on crypto. Brothers, don't get caught up in these news distractions—this is Washington's internal struggle, not ours.#美国中期选举进入计票阶段，国会控制权将如何变化？
$BTC $ETH The expectation that the Democratic Party will control Congress has already started to stir global assets in advance.
The logic behind this is actually straightforward: once the Democrats take Congress, the two parties are very likely to fall into a political deadlock, and government spending will be tightly suppressed. On top of that, they have been wanting to tighten AI regulation, so the economic fundamentals will more or less take a hit. With this, the Federal Reserve’s confidence to continue raising interest rates and tough it out against inflation will be drained.
The market is now trading on this expectation. Look at the market: U.S. Treasury prices have risen, the 10-year yield has fallen accordingly, and the stock market has also taken a breather. The crypto space is following the same pattern; since the interest rate hike expectations have cooled down, risk appetite naturally rises, and the sentiment for all risk assets is basically being artificially supported.
But don’t get too happy or rush to chase the highs. What’s rising now is all "expectations." Once the final vote count goes against the current predictions, or if one party ultimately holds both chambers, the gains made on expectations will be quickly given back, and sharp sell-offs and washouts will definitely be brutal.
In this purely speculative market, risk control always comes first. Don’t bet on rumors; wait for the shoe to drop, and the real direction will emerge.

Share your thoughts in the comments. $ZEC #Circle财报在即，稳定币增长能否兑现收益？ #CFTC首次放行美国个股永续期货 Gold $XAUT breaking through 4000 is not just short-term sentiment; this is macro big money using real gold to slap down the Fed's empty talk. The underlying logic is rock solid, with clear data from the World Gold Council: global central banks' single-quarter net gold purchases surged 42% year-on-year to 321 tons, and total ETF holdings have hit a historic high. Sovereign nations and institutions completely ignore the high-interest environment and are quietly accumulating. Previously, gold prices were pressured at 3900 due to the dollar and US bond yields forcing leveraged funds to deleverage; now breaking 4000 means long-term allocation has completely overwhelmed short-term liquidity drain.
Look at $BTC, the big coin, its trend is completely left behind by gold by several streets. Macro high interest rates are tightly suppressing it, ETFs are all in pulse-like in-and-out flows with no real support. Gold prices are soaring, while BTC can only fluctuate narrowly with heavy overhead resistance. Hold long-term spot firmly; don’t chase highs in the short term. If shorting, you must set a tight stop loss; never short without a stop loss, as that’s just giving money to the market makers.
Look at $ETH, Ethereum, a weakling that can’t be propped up. When the market softens, it falls with no capital support. Don’t try to bottom-fish just because it’s dropped a lot; without independent narratives and incremental funds, it can’t even find a bottom when falling.
In summary, gold’s breakout is a concentrated eruption of safe-haven and de-dollarization logic. Under a high-interest backdrop, gold’s long-term resilience far exceeds that of the crypto world. Trading requires seeing through the big money’s hand; don’t get shaken out by short-term washouts. #全球央行Q3购金321吨，金价为何持续承压？ Entering in batches, is it really safer?
Not necessarily.
Buying in batches can diversify entry timing, but it may also continuously increase your position as the price keeps falling.
There are three key conditions to really focus on:
1. Entry basis: Do you have a clear reason for each additional position?
2. Total risk: How much could you lose at most with all positions combined?
3. Execution discipline: Are you adding positions according to your plan, or are you unwilling to exit because of losses?
Lowering the average cost does not mean reducing overall risk.
The core of entering in batches is managing the entry process, not proving your initial judgment right by continuously adding positions.

#Crypto #Trading #RiskManagementNew changes in policy expectations: Reuters reported on November 4 that the Democratic Party won control of both the House and Senate. Compared to the previous assessment of easing risks for Binance, the new addition is the risk of stalled progress in crypto legislation and increased congressional scrutiny; this is not a newly implemented ban.
Impact assessment: The regulatory optimism for BTC needs to be downgraded; ETH faces the same headwinds, but the actual impact depends on specific bills. Reuters previously analyzed that Democratic control of the Senate will increase the difficulty of reviving the "Clarity Act."
Strongest opposition: Trump still holds veto power, and regulatory agency leadership has not changed with the election; the decline in the US dollar and US Treasury yields may also offset some pressure, so a unilateral decline cannot be concluded based on this.
Next steps: Watch the November 6 non-farm payrolls report and the new Congress's clear statements on crypto legislation and committee leadership arrangements.Today I saw a breaking news: ETH broke through the $2300 mark. In the same paragraph, Binance ETH/USDT is currently quoted at 2299.79. That means it’s actually 21 cents short. A 0.16% increase in 5 minutes.
This is not an isolated case. Round numbers naturally make good headlines: 2300 is easier to write and sell than 2299.79. When the price is just a little off, the headline often goes ahead.
Breaking this down, there are actually only three numbers: 2300, 2299.79, and 0.16%. No trading volume, no capital flow, and no linkage to other coins. A 0.16% rise in 5 minutes is everyday noise, far from the strength usually implied by the word "breakthrough."
The mechanism is not complicated either. The breaking news is triggered by conditions; the trigger threshold and the tick captured in the text are not at the same moment. The threshold sounds first, the quote comes later, and that 21 cents becomes the gap between the headline and the fact.
My judgment is: this is not a breakthrough, it’s a close call. A real breakthrough depends on whether it can hold above after crossing, not how close it gets. Chasing at this position means buying just above the mark, but the profit is not yet confirmed.
One point worth pondering: when the phrase "break through the mark" is used so loosely, how much information does the round number still hold for traders? $ETH’s 2300 is a psychological level, but once it becomes headline material, what it measures is no longer the price.【Ballot Counting ≠ Market Starting Gun (¬_¬)】
Don't just focus on red and blue. The options market is already cooling things down: BTC implied volatility premium is only 2.8 percentage points, far below the 14.4 seen in the 2024 election, meaning capital hasn't priced in an election-driven rally at all. The $6.3 billion Binance hack fallout is still brewing, with both on-exchange outflows and cautious waiting; this is not a "bottom-fishing signal" (｡•́︿•̀｡).
$BTC's small rebound near 78,000 looks more like a breather than a reversal. In the past three midterm elections, BTC took a hit in the weeks following; a rebound a year later doesn't mean leveraged positions can survive the interim. Heavy overhead resistance and insufficient ETF inflows weigh it down.
$ETH remains a weak follower: when the market catches a breath, it plays dead; when the market softens, it falls hardest. That slight uptick doesn't count as stabilization. Once BTC tests lower support, ETH will likely crash first—don't get trigger-happy catching falling knives (￣▽￣).
$XAUT gold is the ballast in this chaos. Election uncertainty combined with high interest rate pressure means safe-haven funds and central bank buying provide a strong floor, showing resilience far beyond crypto. Don't apply short-term volatility to long-term logic.
Election results announcement is not a bullish button but the start of realizing expectation gaps. Historical data only sketches a "fall first, then rise" pattern, without specifying the depth or duration. Don't rush to act; wait until votes are fully counted and sentiment is thoroughly washed out before considering picking up chips (・ω・)ノ
#美国中期选举进入计票阶段，国会控制权将如何变化？ #美国中期选举进入计票阶段，国会控制权将如何变化？ The U.S. midterm elections have entered the vote-counting phase; how will control of Congress change? The U.S. midterms are a short-term sentiment catalyst and unlikely to alter the medium- to long-term trends of U.S. stocks and Bitcoin. The core themes remain Federal Reserve interest rates, U.S. Treasury yields, and inflation.
The market prefers a divided Congress, with checks and balances between the two parties, making aggressive tax hikes and large-scale fiscal expansion unlikely, which benefits tech growth stocks. If the Republicans control both chambers, regulatory expectations tend to be looser, but fiscal spending may slow the pace of rate cuts. If the Democrats sweep both chambers, regulatory and tax hike expectations rise, suppressing risk assets.
Bitcoin $BTC, besides following U.S. stock risk appetite, is mainly influenced by expectations around crypto regulatory legislation. After the election results, it tends to buy the rumor and sell the fact, leading to a pullback after gains. Short-term volatility will increase, and 1-2 weeks after the election, the impact will gradually fade, with the market focus returning to macro data and capital flows.

Circle Q3 Earnings: I Bet "No" on "Not Exceeding Expectations"
The threshold is GAAP EPS above $0.37, with a Yes pricing around 70%, which I think is overpriced.
Reasons to support No:
• The line is not low. $0.42 is the non-GAAP consensus, GAAP consensus is about $0.38, only one cent above the line; stock-based compensation or one-time expenses could push it below the line.
• Weak fundamentals. Q2 revenue was $701 million, below expectations; GAAP EPS only $0.18, Q3 needs to double to pass the line.
• No growth in scale. USDC dropped from $77 billion at the end of March to $73.3 billion at the end of Q2, about $72.2 billion in October, while reserve income accounts for 95%.
• Rising costs. Q2 distribution costs were $412 million; Hyperliquid balances shifted to Coinbase, resulting in higher revenue sharing.
• Institutional bearishness. Morgan Stanley lowered target price to $34, Mizuho to $43.
Counterpoints:
• Consecutive beats in the last 4 quarters.
• Arc presale income may temporarily boost profits.
• Other income guidance has been raised to $310–330 million.
Risks:
• Only beat by $0.02 in the last two quarters; another $0.02 beat would push EPS to $0.40, passing the line.
• One-time projects may also trend upward.
Conclusion: No is around 30 cents, odds about 2.3x, suitable for small position contrarian bets, not for heavy positions.

I checked Morgan Stanley's data: since 1982, six months after the midterm elections, the US stock market has averaged a 15% rise.
Whether this time will be the same, I don't know. Anyway, the saying that it will rise once the shoe drops failed this morning first.
#美国中期选举进入计票阶段，国会控制权将如何变化？ Don't take these two tweets from Musk as just jokes.
"Space lasers didn't work" is a rebuttal to a documentary — that film implied he used Starlink to interfere in the election, and he even sent a lawyer's letter at the time. After losing the election, he took the joke himself, turning the accusation into a conspiracy theory with a single quip.
But what he really invested was nearly $500 million.
The second tweet is the key: "Space data centers are very attractive." Behind it are applications for 1 million satellites, the acquisition of xAI, and that trillion-dollar valuation.
The policy benefits have just narrowed, but the story can't stop.
Losing an election can be shrugged off with a joke, but supporting a valuation requires an entire space program.Wow, this situation has me a bit stunned. An address held a long Intel position for 118 days, and this morning it was completely liquidated on-chain, losing about $1.82 million 😂
This wallet was trading US stocks on-chain perpetual contracts, going long Intel around $100 in July, then kept adding as the price dropped, averaging down to $94.28.
Last week Intel gave a very disappointing guidance, and in two trading days the price fell from $92 to around $60. They held about 50,900 shares, with a notional value of roughly $2.98 million. Around 9:30 AM Beijing time today, the price hit $58.44, and the system liquidated everything, resulting in a 38% loss.
What’s even more painful is they also have a Micron long position opened at $927.34, now around $837, with an unrealized loss of about $590,000, and only a bit over 6% away from the liquidation price of $783.87.
They’re not alone; in the past 24 hours, at least 5 accounts’ US stock and commodity contracts were liquidated on-chain, totaling about $7.76 million. On the Nasdaq 100 side, one address was partially liquidated 4 times from yesterday afternoon to today.
Moving US stocks on-chain means you can add leverage even in the middle of the night on weekends, which sounds great, but when stocks crash, it’s no gentler than altcoins. Holding a position for 4 months only to lose it all on one big bearish candle is exhausting just to watch.
For beginners, it’s recommended to watch more and trade less; when buying crypto, only buy $BTC The expectation that the Democratic Party will control Congress has already started to stir global assets $BTC $ETH
The market logic is straightforward: once the Democrats take Congress, political gridlock is likely, government spending will be suppressed, combined with tighter AI regulation dragging down the economy, the Federal Reserve's motivation to continue raising interest rates weakens.
The market has already reacted in advance: US Treasury prices rise, 10-year Treasury yields fall, and the stock market strengthens accordingly.
The crypto space follows the same logic; with cooling rate hike expectations, risk asset sentiment is supported.
But remember, this is all expectation trading. If the final election results differ from current predictions, the gains made so far can quickly be reversed at any time.
It's a game of strategy; don't get carried away chasing highs, manage your risk well.

"$BTC 77K That Spike Awakened My 'ETF Faith'"
At the end of October, I was still leveraging long positions above 85K, the logic was straightforward: continuous net inflows into ETFs, treasury companies kept buying, and expectations for rate hikes cooled down. However, on 10/30, the US spot BTC ETF saw a net outflow of 643 million, IBIT withdrew 230 million in a single day; on 11/2, another 399 million was withdrawn, and on 11/3, 116 million flowed out again. Strategies stopped adding positions since Q3, and the main buying engine went cold.
The price ground down from 85K to 77K, and I closed all leveraged positions at the upper shadow of 79.2K. It's not that I am bearish on BTC, but I realized one thing: this rally was driven by "ETF capital flow," and once the flow stopped, the price softened. The 76.5K–77K range is the 200-day moving average plus holder cost zone, the spike didn’t break it; 79K–80K is the overlapping zone of the 20/50-day EMA, every bounce up was hammered back down.
The order book was thin those days, buyers seemed to be hanging around looking for bargains, sellers looked like institutions mechanically redeeming. I didn’t chase shorts or catch falling knives, only tried a small long at 76.8K with a stop loss set below 75.9K. Later it hovered around 77K—not a bottom, but a vacuum zone after institutional retreat How much impact do elections have on Bitcoin? Let me summarize the BTC price increase statistics after several elections. Actually, it's not that scary. In the long term, BTC usually rises one year after elections (about +23% in 2014, about +45% in 2018, about +93% in 2022).
At noon, the 4-hour 12 o'clock bullish candlestick started to resist. Currently, all indicators are normal. I forgot when I placed the small order; it just matched during lunch.Great news, after Trump was swept aside this time, the two parties will check and balance each other, and any bills that do not align with the common interests of both parties will not pass. Trump still holds a veto vote.
So as long as we identify the targets that align with the common interests of both parties, it will work.
Finance is not afraid of ups and downs; fluctuations are a normal cyclical phenomenon. What finance fears most is the uncertainty like Trump’s approach, which everyone has experienced over the past two years.
Here is a summary of sectors where both parties have consensus:
1. National security, mainly the attitude towards China.
2. Semiconductors and AI, similarly, although the Democratic Party also considers domestic public opinion on AI, which conflicts somewhat with Trump’s aggressive strategy, but not significantly. In the long term, it remains a very important card.
3. Mineral resources, especially rare earths, used for defense infrastructure.
4. Nuclear energy, applicable to both technology and defense.
5. Other energy sources, which have become more important under the impact of AI, so sectors related to nuclear power deserve attention.$57.4636, the reference price for this long position on $INTC is precise to four decimal places, but what I care more about is: where is it aiming to profit, and how much loss is it willing to tolerate? In the material, Core Trader 18 used 10x leverage, holding 650 contracts with a nominal value of about $37,400, yet there is no exit plan in sight.
I don't consider the precision of the entry price as a trading advantage. For me, if the expected upside is smaller than the stop-loss distance I'm prepared to bear, even if the direction looks favorable, it's not worth it; only if the potential profit can cover multiple times the risk and the exit conditions can be executed do we have a basis to discuss expected value. These are my screening criteria, not a guess about this wallet's plan.
Leverage amplifies gains and losses but does not magically improve odds. Without take-profit, stop-loss, and margin models, I can't even calculate the loss boundary of this trade, so I'd rather observe first. For this same 10x long position, do you value the win rate of directional judgment more, or the odds of at least 2-to-1 reward-to-risk?$BTC
We nailed the entire dump to 75.8k
Now I am expecting a bearish retest into 78.5-79k to form the lower high and then dump from there
75.8k ✅

#AMDQ3DataCenterUp97% #AMD data center revenue nearly doubled, both revenue and guidance exceeded expectations $ZEC surged 10% in one day to hit the upper Bollinger Band with RSI at 62, while $BTC at 77818 and $ETH at 2293 are weak in following the rally. I'm the first to sell ZEC.
$ZEC directly jumped 10 points today to stand above the upper Bollinger Band, RSI at 62 hasn't reached the overbought zone yet, but I already sold part at 1252. I'm not bearish, it's just that this coin rose too fast—the upper Bollinger Band near 1250 is the short-term ceiling, MA7 is only 1214, the deviation rate is obviously too large, brothers chasing highs be careful not to get trapped. BTC is lingering around 77800 with RSI only at 51, ETH at 2293 can't even hold above 2300 with RSI at 48, these two leaders have no strength, how far can ZEC jump alone? Funding rate at 0.01% indicates longs are still paying, not a short squeeze, purely driven by sentiment.
I'm now reducing my position to take profits, leaving a base position to see if it can hold above 1250. If it falls back to the 1210-1220 range tomorrow, I'll consider buying back; if it breaks below 1197, this run is over, no point in fighting. BTC is stuck in a narrow range between 77700-78300 with no direction, ETH is even weaker, neither can drive ZEC to continue rising. Whoever is greedy now will get trapped, I'm stepping back first, you do as you please. The crypto market is not trading on charts this week. It is trading on a calendar. The U.S. midterm elections land squarely on top of the fallout from a $6.3 billion Binance hack, and the result is a market that has stopped making decisions. $BTC sits at $77,717, up just 0.17% over 24 hours, a number that looks like calm but reads like paralysis. The tell is in the flows, not the price. Customers pulled a net $4.72 billion from Binance after the breach, and that liquidity drain matters more thanOne person, one account, $163 million in positions, 95% short. This is not a joke; it’s the real ledger currently open on Hyperliquid.
The most eye-catching is a $BTC short position: 1,376.07 contracts, 25x leverage, position value about $104 million, average entry price $79,861, current unrealized profit $4.89 million. The price has already dropped well below the cost line, and this position has earned that much.
Looking closer: he also collected $426,000 in funding fees. Being paid to short means the bulls have been paying to maintain their positions recently, indicating a bullish market sentiment. The shorts not only haven’t been squeezed out but are collecting rent while waiting.
The account structure also tells a story. Total positions about $163 million, $BTC accounts for 63.8%, the rest spread across other assets, but the direction is highly consistent—95% short. This doesn’t look like a hedge; it’s more like a clear bet.
What does 25x leverage mean? If $BTC moves about 4% against him, that $4.89 million unrealized profit can be wiped out or even turn into a loss. Being the most profitable short position on the entire platform relies not only on directional judgment but also on having enough margin to withstand volatility.
One thought worth considering: when one person’s short position becomes the most profitable on the platform, that itself is an emotional indicator. The real bottom usually doesn’t appear when shorts are most comfortable.Conclusion first: $ZEC current price 1251, 24h +10.7%, yesterday's low 1124.61. This surge is not driven by buying pressure, three numbers:
① Up 10.7%, open interest only rose from 150.3 million to 153.7 million (+2.3%) — no added leverage, it's short covering.
② Funding rate has been positive for 8 consecutive periods, with 6 periods stuck at the +0.01%/8h floor price, longs have been paying continuously.
③ Yesterday early morning, a 4H candle traded 456 million, dropping from 1259 to 1125.9 (-10.6%); today this candle traded 279 million pushing back up to 1258.91. 24h perpetual contract volume is 1.85 times the spot volume of 944 million, at 1.75 billion.
News is NU7: Activation tomorrow 11-05 at block 3,543,405, confirmation speed increased 3x, Zebra 7.0.0 patched 7 vulnerabilities last night.
Yesterday's big bearish candle is even more worth noting: with the same upgrade expectation, it dropped 11% early morning due to community funding disputes (some want to cut the $300 million developer fund early); in recent days, there is an $8 million short order above and a $10.8 million buy order below.
The day before the upgrade rose 10% betting on expectation fulfillment, but the expectation was just crushed once. On the actual launch day, do you position or hide? I tend to hide. Can 1250 hold? $ZEC CLANKER's drop from 16.49 is not accidental; the 15-minute MACD histogram has been shrinking continuously, EMA has converged without a second volume surge, and RSI has already pushed into the overbought zone. The current price at 16.22 is still rubbing against a high level, with buying clearly cautious. Unless it firmly breaks above 16.40 again, this rebound is basically a chance for the bulls to escape.
Just placed a meal on the stone pillar at the community entrance, checked the phone screen, and the price is still hovering around 16.20.
On the liquidation chart, a large number of long positions piled up below 15.6 is very dangerous. This level is not support; it’s fuel. If the price pulls back to 16.35–16.45 and stalls, short directly, defend at 16.78, with the first target at the 15.60 liquidation zone, and if broken, look for 15.10.
If it first drops to 15.60 and then the 15-minute candle closes with a long lower shadow, consider going long, stop loss at 15.30, target back to 16.10. Do not add longs in the middle range.

#美国10月非农前瞻：就业增长或牵动12月加息预期
@OKX星球 Stablecoins shrank by about $5.7 billion in one week, and ETFs withdrew over $1 billion in two days — the "bullets" retail investors can use are decreasing.
News about whales hoarding coins is loud, but on-exchange liquidity is being drained.
Tether CEO says they hold about 150,000 BTC (about 50,000 more than disclosed reserves); other institutions are still adding ETH. It looks like "smart money is accumulating."
But on the other hand: spot BTC ETFs had a net outflow of over $1 billion in two days, ETH ETFs have had consecutive days of redemptions, and total stablecoin supply has dropped to nearly a one-year low.
The two trends are opposite — company balance sheets are increasing positions, while funds/stablecoin channels are reducing positions. Don’t directly translate "a certain party hoarding coins" as "market liquidity has returned."
Three steps before making a move:
1) First, see if total stablecoin supply has stopped falling and started to rise (bullets available on exchanges)
2) Then check if BTC/ETH ETFs have continuous net inflows; don’t be fooled by single-day rebounds
3) Whale hoarding news can be a reference, but not a signal to go all-in
Do you trust whale hoarding more, or do you trust whether there are enough "bullets" on-exchange?
$BTC $USDT #stablecoin Around the U.S. midterm elections, the market may experience another short-term pullback, but this does not mean the market will enter a sustained crash. As election uncertainties gradually fade, investor sentiment is expected to stabilize, and BTC may gradually enter a bottom-building phase. Looking back at the past three Bitcoin cycles, market bottoms all appeared after the U.S. midterm elections: * 2014: The cycle bottom appeared about 71 days after the election ended. * 2018: The bottom was reached about 39 days after the election ended. * 2022: A phase low was formed about 13 days after the election ended. From historical data, the time to bottom seems to be shortening progressively. However, historical patterns do not guarantee future repetition. If this historical rhythm occurs again, the next BTC cycle bottom may fall between late December 2026 and early 2027, which is worth close attention. New market observation: The latest election news on November 4 shows the Democratic Party gained control of the Senate, while the House results remain uncertain. The market worries that changes in congressional power may affect U.S. cryptocurrency regulatory policies, putting short-term pressure on BTC and tech stocks. The crypto industry especially needs to watch the follow-up legislative progress of the CLARITY Act. AP News +2 My view is: The volatility brought by the election may only be a short-term factor affecting the market; what truly determines the BTC bottom remains ETF capital flows, macro liquidity, the U.S. dollar trend, and spot buying. Key points to watch next: * $76,000–$77,000: short Term Structure Radar
The first-level positive spread for $ETH is very small. The buy near sell far quote spread is +0.06%, with the first-level pair size about $199; at a scale of 10,000, this level only covers about 2%. Small orders can probe, but volume must look at deeper levels.
For $SOL, the first-level negative spread of buy near sell far is deeper than the mark price spread. Near-month annualized +5.29%, far-month annualized +0.61%, the near end is more expensive; mark price near-far spread -0.1%, buy near sell far first-level quote spread -1.35%. First look at the annualized slope, then try to confirm whether it can be traded at the spread.#Circle财报在即，稳定币增长能否兑现收益？ Disappointing#Circle财报在即，稳定币增长能否兑现收益？
Circle is releasing its quarterly report tonight, and I bought a small position on Yes.
The betting rules are strict: diluted GAAP earnings per share must be higher than $0.37; exactly 0.37 counts as a loss. Currently, Yes is about 72¢, No is about 31¢, and trading stops around 19:00 Beijing time tonight.
1. The consensus analyst expectation at market open was $0.37, with most external updates around $0.38–$0.40, so the line isn’t tough; beating expectations slightly will win.
2. The stablecoin volume is still growing, and the market is betting it can turn that growth into profit. Yes rising from yesterday to just over 70¢ is not just talk.
3. But my win rate is about 70–80%, the market price is already 72¢, so the profit margin isn’t big. That’s why I only took a small position, not an all-in.
Risks are also clear: GAAP and the adjusted profits people usually look at are different; one-time expenses and stock incentives can push the numbers down; exactly 0.37 means a loss; volatility will be high near the announcement. Control your position size; if you lose, it’s just tuition. $ZEC
The perpetual contract is one dollar cheaper than the spot price, yet the price keeps surging. This detail is more interesting than the candlestick chart.
Current price is 1254, having climbed from 1130 to a high of 1258.91 in 24 hours, up 10.9%. But the perpetual contract quotes 1253.33, spot is 1254.35, showing a discount. The funding rate settles at +0.01%, which is the breakeven line, with no premium at all.
At 13:00, the hourly candle had a trading volume of $141 million, the largest among the last twelve. At the same time, open interest rose from 144 million to 158 million, an increase of 13.7 million. Open interest up, price up, funding rate flat—this money is not leveraged chasing, it's spot buying.
This structure is much cleaner than the 'open interest explosion + funding rate soaring to 0.1'. The downside is here too: without a premium buffer on the perpetual, if spot stops buying, the pullback won't be gentle.
I'm not chasing this leg. I'll wait for a retracement to see if spot continues to buy.
#美国中期选举进入计票阶段，国会控制权将如何变化？ If I were to write it as a strategy, I would set a rule: if the Ethereum spot ETF experiences continuous net outflows, then raise the observation level for funding pressure, without immediately deducing the price direction. SoSoValue data shows that on November 3rd Eastern Time, the total net outflow was $85,346,200, marking seven consecutive days of net outflows. 🤖
I think this is a bearish signal, but I wouldn’t directly label it as "institutional full retreat." Continuous outflows require more attention than single-day fluctuations; however, on that day, BlackRock's ETHA outflow was $74,438,300, which accounted for the majority, so the total amount cannot be treated as a unanimous action by all parties. Moreover, ETHA’s historical cumulative net inflow still stands at $11.657 billion, so short-term flows and long-term holdings need to be viewed separately.
The advantage of this rule is that it forces me to pay attention to persistence; the drawback is that it only looks at capital inflows and outflows and cannot explain the motives. As a quantitative novice, I will next monitor whether the outflows continue and whether they spread to more products, rather than relying on a single indicator to make a judgment.#SpaceX业绩大增，与特斯拉合并能否推进？
The most striking change in SpaceX's Q3 is not profitability, but a complete flip in revenue structure: AI computing power revenue reached 8.3 billion, surpassing Starlink for the first time, becoming the largest source. A rocket manufacturing company now earns over half its revenue from renting computing power, and the market took several days to digest this.
The cost is also clear. Quarterly capital expenditure was 19.6 billion, higher than the 14.6 billion revenue, and free cash flow remains negative. Starlink's earnings are stable but not enough to fill the AI gap.
What’s more critical is the election. The probability of Democrats retaking Congress is bet at 99%, and SpaceX holds many government contracts, so the stock fell after hours as a sign of caution. No matter how big the story, policy shifts are a real risk.
