#SpaceX raises $40 billion, Musk warns of AI cloud loan cutoffs
The boss has something to say
On October 25, Musk made a big move and also sounded the alarm. SpaceX secured $40 billion in GPU debt financing to purchase AI chips delivered in the first half of 2027. But he also warned that the debt market has almost stopped financing AI data center companies lacking other income sources, and over 200 emerging AI cloud providers are expected to face bankruptcy or consolidation.
I believe this is a clear signal that the AI infrastructure frenzy is beginning to "de-leverage." SpaceX can get $40 billion because it has Starlink and launch business as a backstop, but neoclouds relying solely on computing power leasing can no longer borrow money. Some comments say this increasingly resembles the 2008 housing bubble. The blunt truth is that in a high-interest-rate environment, business models that burn cash without cash flow support are being abandoned by capital.
The impact on crypto is indirect. If AI infrastructure financing breaks down, triggering systemic liquidity contraction in the tech sector, risk assets will come under pressure, and BTC will hardly remain unaffected.
On the market, SPCX dipped slightly by 0.26%, with funds on the sidelines.
BTC had a waterfall drop last night; now we watch if the 80,000 level can hold. If it doesn't hold, expect a deeper correction, with resistance above at 84,000 to 85,000. Do not chase the rally or sell in panic; set your stop losses properly.
The above analysis is time-sensitive; orders must have stop losses set. Good luck. $BTC $ETH $ZEC US Semiconductor Weekly Expectations Summary

• AVGO Broadcom: Tigress Financial initiated coverage on October 22 with Buy rating, target price $600.
• LRCX Lam Research: Q2 guidance basically met consensus expectations but did not exceed high market expectations; management stated supply chain constraints caused some shipments to be delayed to the March quarter, total volume unaffected; after earnings Needham $390→$290 (-25.6%).Brothers, this BTC open interest chart clearly explains the long-short battle.
Current price 79455, down 1.41%. Looking at the open interest trend: from the end of September to mid-October, OI climbed from 27,000 BTC to over 30,000, indicating this rally was built up by leveraged funds, not driven by spot buying.
The key is the recent wave—when the price surged near 82,000, OI simultaneously peaked at 32,400 BTC, with a nominal value of 2.6 billion U. Then the price started to fall, and OI quickly shrank to 28,300. What does this mean? The first drop was due to long positions being passively liquidated and actively closed, representing leverage clearing.
But note, now the price has dropped to 79,455, and OI has bounced back from 28,300 to 30,700. This means someone is reopening positions at the low—possibly bottom-fishing longs or adding shorts. Combined with the liquidation pain point chart just now, the long position danger zone below is around 79,700, and these newly opened longs are right on the edge.
Comparing with ETH makes it clearer: ETH’s open interest has dropped 20% in a month, leverage has mostly been washed out; but BTC’s OI remains above 30,000 at a high level, indicating leverage hasn’t been fully cleared.
In plain language—BTC’s current drop hasn’t finished washing out leverage, and there’s likely another dip ahead
#本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 #SK海力士Q3财报在即，HBM4能否提振盈利？ #中东原油运输恢复，油价为何仍居高位？ $BTC $ETH $ZEC 24-hour spot fund flow released! BTC dumped over 70 million in a single day, while ETH and SOL attracted funds against the trend, market divergence is extreme
📊24-hour spot funds:
✅ BTC: 24-hour net outflow of 71.2289 million U
12-hour net outflow of 21.4446 million U | 6-hour net outflow of 36.9326 million U
✅ ETH: 24-hour net inflow of 2.8325 million U
12-hour net inflow of 1.9083 million U | 6-hour net outflow of 29.8514 million U
✅ SOL: 24-hour net inflow of 8.6306 million U
12-hour net inflow of 6.1044 million U | 6-hour net outflow of 0.708 million U
Key points:
The daily-level divergence has reached its peak, BTC and XRP continue to dump and flow out, with BTC’s single-day net outflow exceeding 70 million, making it the core source of selling pressure in the entire market.
But on the other side, a quiet turnaround has begun: ETH and SOL daily levels have turned positive first, and the 12-hour level also maintains inflows, indicating that mid-to-short-term funds are gradually accumulating at low levels; USDC even shows net inflows in both daily and 12-hour periods, with cumulative entry exceeding 20 million, and on-site liquidity is continuously replenished.
A typical rhythm of dumping while absorbing, funds have not fully exited, but are rotating from BTC into assets like ETH and SOL, with sector divergence cutting, not a full collapse.
Just a personal view, trading is self-reliance
#SpotFundFlow #BTCMarket #MarketAnalysis #Robinhood交易业务增长能否延续？ robinhood chain, Robinhood's blockchain, where users trade stock tokens. From October 6 to 12, decentralized exchange trading volume dropped by 30% to $6.35 billion. However, from September 30 to October 12, the total value locked (TVL) in decentralized finance rose to $1.058 billion, with the lending protocol Morpho holding $486.8 million in outstanding loans on the chain. Therefore, lending has now become a significant use case, not just trading. That week, borrowers on Morpho paid about $417,000 in interest and liquidation bonuses, but Morpho recorded zero protocol revenue. $SIGN Many people are waiting for $BTC to drop again to the long lower wick of its historical bottom, but they overlook the macro background behind that extreme drop back then.
At that time, the SEC sued Binance and CZ, sued Coinbase, tried to freeze Binance US assets, and the Federal Reserve also released hawkish signals.
These negative factors combined to create that kind of panic selling.
Now, unless there is a bigger negative factor yet to be released, I won’t blindly focus on that wick waiting to bottom fish.
History can be referenced, but it doesn’t necessarily repeat.
Are buyers still waiting in the fourth quarter?
My approach is: to dollar-cost average into $BTC in batches over the next few weeks.
The current roughly 9% pullback is not exaggerated in a bull market. $ETH Buy when no one cares, sell when the crowd is roaring. You ask me what the mainstream thinks, I just watch lying down.
It's not hard to see that in the past two weeks, the #Ethereum spot ETF has had a net outflow of over 500 million, the market has plummeted, retail investors have all shouted and fled, but upon careful observation, I found three signals:
First, the selling pressure is exhausting. #BlackRock institution ETHA was dumping every day before, on the 14th it ran 110 million, but on the 23rd, it directly stopped, what does this mean? It means the big money's strength to dump is used up.
Second, looking at the smart money, Fidelity FETH had consecutive small declines last week, quietly absorbing over 20 million. Grayscale's small funds also started turning positive, indicating institutions are quietly accumulating at low levels. Those running now are the shaken-out retail investors; those taking over are the ones who understand.
Third, the funds are not leaving the market, they are relocating. You think the money ran away? No, it just moved from ETH to BTC. This shows institutions are not bearish on crypto; they are just reallocating internally. Once $BTC starts to rise, ETH, which has been stagnant for a long time, will be even stronger than BTC.
With the midterm elections approaching, the mainstream dips again but does not break recent lows; instead, it remains resilient, indicating large orders are still supporting the bottom and resisting the fall. Once the mainstream counterattacks, the extent of the rise is predictable.
In the short term, don't rush to go all in. Wait for BlackRock to switch from "redeem" to "buy"; that turning point is the real signal to attack. Now is the time to bottom out, accumulate quietly, and lay ambush. Today's data summarized in one sentence:
Bitcoin: Whales hold firm without selling, while retail investors are frantically moving coins into exchanges, the most intense in half a year.
First, let's look at retail investors.
In April, $5.5 billion worth of Bitcoin was transferred to exchanges in one month.
Now, it's $10.75 billion.
Doubled.
Now, the whales.
Since the end of August, their transfers have decreased by 36%.
The amount transferred by retail investors is 2.8 times that of whales.
Why are retail investors rushing to transfer?
Transferring coins doesn't mean selling, but once coins are on exchanges, they can be sold anytime.
Simply put: they're scared.
The price is stuck at 80,000, they just want a rebound to recover some losses and get out quickly.
Why don't whales move?
They accumulated at low prices, selling at 80,000 isn't profitable.
October inflation data dropped 3.3%, yet they still don't move.
They haven't fled; they're waiting for better prices.
The question now is: who will sell?
If the price rises further and whales still don't move — all sellers will be retail investors, who will collectively exit halfway through the rise.
If whales move — sellers will double, and the price will drop even faster.
My stance:
Whales are waiting for high prices, small retail investors fear further drops.
Let's not follow emotions, but watch the whales' positions.When I saw this at night, I stared at the "$50 million" for a few seconds. The number itself may not be the scariest part; what really keeps people awake is that the financing ceiling might constrain the project's roadmap even before the product and users do. 🌙
According to Lummis, the Democrats previously requested to lower the annual financing cap under the Regulation Crypto framework from $75 million to $50 million and add a $200 million lifetime financing cap; the Republicans accepted these two requests and incorporated them into the CLARITY Act.
My judgment is that this is somewhat negative for the US crypto industry but more like a tiered screening rather than an immediate shutdown of the industry. Early-stage projects have to handle R&D, auditing, compliance, and market expansion simultaneously. Once the annual quota tightens, the financing rhythm may be fragmented; with a lifetime cap, the space for continuous financing will also narrow, and capital will more easily favor teams with existing users or revenue.
If the rules end up with very narrow boundaries, project teams might arrange part of their issuance and operations in other jurisdictions—this is my speculation, not a confirmed subsequent event. A reminder to myself: don’t just focus on the eye-catching "$50 million" figure; also consider who can use it, how to declare it, and where the exemption boundaries lie. Who else is still awake at this hour, watching how this bill will affect project financing?Introduction The market is expected to test the 75,000–78,000 range. The market, projects, coins, and other information, opinions, and judgments mentioned in this article are for reference only and do not constitute any investment advice. Written by 0xWeilan @ eMerge IS This week $BTC BTC fluctuated between $79,107 and $84,856, ending the week with a slight decline of 0.76%, showing a rather weak trend. On the macro side, the U.S. economy remains torn between "strength" and "risks," with inflation concerns from oil prices unresolved. Fortunately, U.S. Treasury yields and rate hike expectations narrowed this week, and the dollar index remained basically flat. On the other hand, the market has started to strongly question the monetization cycle of tech giants' AI capital expenditures, tightening risk appetite and directly forcing BTC downward to test support.
BTC daily chart (Coinbase) Returning to the crypto market, the off-exchange channels are not bad—ETFs attracted about $300 million this week, long positions remained steady, short positions increased, and the "whale and shark" groups are accumulating against the trend. The hidden concern on the surface is that selling pressure within exchanges is quietly building up, short-term holders' profits are being continuously squeezed, and open interest in derivatives is still rising. The core current battle is whether the weak spot market buy-side can absorb the emerging marginal selling pressure. The market is in a weak equilibrium after a rebound was blocked. Next week, the Federal Reserve meeting and a series of economic data releases will hit, and this weak balance will soon face a test. According to the "EMC Labs BTC Cycle Judgment Model," the market is currently in a "correction period" following a major rally.$MAGIC mid-term trend is downward, but there is a very high short-term risk of a "short squeeze" pbit anomaly. Under such extreme negative funding rates, the probability of the whales pulling a spike to blow out the shorts is very high. Look for opportunities to exit first
Long-short ratio:
Retail side: Binance retail account long-short ratio is 0.7599 (bearish), OKX retail account long-short ratio is 1.17.
Whale side: Whale account long-short ratio is 0.8975, but whale position long-short ratio is as high as 1.5041
Funds and on-chain data: Spot market is bleeding heavily, but the main force is "secretly repositioning"
Capital flow: Coinglass shows a 24-hour net spot outflow of $6.26 million, and contract outflow of $3.97 million.
On the surface, funds seem to be fleeing wildly, but on-chain entity data hides a mystery:
Chip relocation: In the past 24 hours, Upbit (Korean exchange) increased holdings by 27.19% (about $1.67 million), Gate increased holdings by 56.79% (about $920,000), Bybit increased holdings by 25.69% (about $710,000).
Meanwhile, Bitget reduced holdings. This indicates that the main force has not completely given up, but has concentrated spot chips and transferred them to these specific exchanges, especially Upbit!
$BTC $ETH #本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 Q1 revenue was about $4.38 billion, up approximately 55% year-over-year, non-GAAP EPS about 4.64, up approximately 161% year-over-year. The midpoint of next quarter's guidance is thrown out at about $5.1 billion and about 5.80 EPS, yet on Friday $WDC still closed around 343.67, down about 3%—I suspect the market doubts the "AI storage price increase" can hold.
Company statement: revenue about $4.381 billion, non-GAAP gross margin about 58.1% (last year about 43.9%), operating cash flow about $1.6 billion, free cash flow about $1.38 billion, dividend raised about 17% to $0.175.
Q2 guidance midpoint revenue about $5.1 billion, non-GAAP EPS midpoint about 5.80. The numbers are solid.
I believe demand is still there, but I also believe that Friday's bearish candle (open about 346, high about 360.7, low about 339.6) discounts whether ASP can continue to rise; I don't think the premium from the price increase has already been fully priced in around 343.
First watch if it can hold around 340–344; if it recovers to about 354–360, then we can talk about whether sentiment has been repaired; if the daily close breaks below about 339–340 down to about 332, it leans more toward "pricing is unsustainable."
Do you trust the guidance that price increases can continue, or do you believe Friday already knocked out the premium?

#Today'sMarketTalkLast night ETH fell below 2300, and Big Brother Maji's 25x long position was fully liquidated, with cumulative losses exceeding $35.37 million. After liquidation, only $5,357 remained in the address.
The hardest part isn't losing money, it's the timing difference. The liquidation happened late at night, and 8 hours later ETH rose back to 2350. The direction was right, but the position was gone. This kind of mistake is the most painful and common because when reviewing, you realize your judgment was actually correct.
The tolerance for a 25x leverage is only 4%. ETH dropped from 2350 to 2300, a 2.1% decline, which doesn't seem much, but with 25x leverage, more than half of the principal was already wiped out, and the rest was taken away by the liquidation engine with one click. The ETH/USDT depth is already calculated, with very little slippage, so the problem is never liquidity, but that the position size itself was too large.
Many people think liquidation means the judgment was wrong. In fact, most liquidations happen because the judgment was right, but the position couldn't hold until the market bounced back. Leverage amplifies not the profit, but the need for precision down to the minute, and the market never gives that precision.
My approach is simple: single position size does not exceed 5% of total funds, leverage is controlled within 3x, stop-loss orders are set in advance with conditional orders, and I don't rely on manual monitoring. This way, if the direction is wrong, you just earn less, not go to zero.
The market always has opportunities, but the principal only comes once. $ETHIt's over, Bitcoin $BTC failed to hold $80,000!
$BTC fell below $80,000 again today, and $ETH also dropped to around $2,300.
Just a few days ago, BTC had rebounded to $84,600, but in just a few days it fell back to the starting point.
The most troublesome thing is that this time the market not only lacks buying pressure, but the macro environment has not improved either. $ZEC
The US 10-year Treasury yield remains close to 5%, oil prices stay around $115, and the probability of the Fed raising rates again in December has reached about 80%.
In this environment, it is very difficult for funds to re-enter the crypto market on a large scale.
What I worry about most now is that BTC will not quickly recover after falling below $80,000.
If it can't hold $78,000 next, $76,000 may soon come back into our view again. Robinhood's on-chain transaction volumes in the past two days were $542M and $484M respectively. Compared to the all-time high of $3.5B, it has shrunk by about 86%, and its ranking in total chain transaction volume has dropped to fifth.
The sluggishness of $PONS is no longer just a problem of the project itself; the overall transaction activity on Robinhood Chain is continuously declining.
For PONS to turn things around, it probably has to wait for Robinhood Chain to heat up again.
With transaction volumes continuously shrinking, protocol revenue is also decreasing. Without new incremental funds and trading demand, relying solely on buyback and burn is unlikely to reverse the current situation.
Next, it depends on whether Robinhood Chain can bring a new wave of momentum.
Do you think $PONS still has a chance to make a comeback? #SK Hynix Q3 earnings report is imminent, can HBM4 boost profitability? #Can HBM4 mass production drive SK Hynix's profits to new highs? Many previously said that HBM4 mass production was a fully priced positive, but Hynix just started small batch deliveries in Q2, achieving over 60 trillion KRW in quarterly profit with a 76% profit margin. This hardly looks like the positive has been fully priced in; clearly, a new profit cycle is just beginning. Now in Q3, HBM4 capacity is officially ramping up, and contract prices for regular DRAM are still rising. Both sides are driving performance upward. The small shipment fluctuations from Nvidia's new cards before are no match for the big trend of profits hitting new highs again. All the inventory held is at high prices, and the performance for the next few quarters is basically clear. Hynix pushing profits to historic highs thanks to HBM4 is really no surprise.Brothers, this morning I'll first lay out the hidden signals: on the surface, it looks like a uniform drop, BTC broke below 80000 and is still hovering around 79581, but the real divergence isn't in the drop percentages, it's in the one-hour positions and trading volume.
🌍 Regarding the macro environment, I'm quite neutral: Monday originally had no major data to support the market, and only secondary indicators in the evening, so it's not surprising to see low volume and sideways movement. Those forcing a direction today are most likely to be misled by a single bearish candle; low volume trading really tests patience.
🔍 ETH is the biggest hidden concern this session: it has the deepest daily drop, positions shrank by 4.26% over the day, and even on the one-hour scale, it's still shrinking by 0.49%. While others have started to recover within an hour, ETH is still lagging behind. This isn't just following the drop, it's leaking on its own — that's the hidden signal.
💼 Position battles are more interesting this session: within one hour, BTC and SOL have turned positive, only ETH hasn't caught up, indicating that short-term retreat steps are diverging. This kind of divergence is more worth watching than uniform rises or falls; it's neither a full retreat nor a full comeback.
👀 I'm highlighting ZEC separately this session: it turned green, down 1.67% for the day, but trading volume rose 7.29%, the only one with increased volume. Despite the drop, turnover hasn't stopped, which is different from the three major mainstreams whose volumes shrank by 20%.
My strategy is divided into two parts:
① ETH is still leaking on the one-hour scale, so I won't buy in yet;
② I won't chase BTC until it stands back above 80000.
Bullets are reserved only for directions that turn positive on the one-hour and hold. If the hidden signal doesn't turn, I don't move; once it turns, I follow immediately.$DOS continues to look bearish, the overall trend is bearish. The dog whale is highly controlling the market, a bit afraid it might suddenly stretch and dip down, so let's wait and see first.
Long-short ratio: Retail investors are bullish.
Retail side: Binance retail account long-short ratio is 2.4282, OKX retail account long-short ratio is 1.37.
Whale side: Whale count long-short ratio is 2.3568 (many are bullish), but whale position long-short ratio has plummeted to 0.9067.
Funds and on-chain data: Spot bottom support is baiting bulls, on-chain is highly controlled.
Core on-chain signals:
Extreme control: Take a look at position distribution, the top Vesting (Proxy) alone holds 79.41%! Adding several other multisig vaults, control exceeds 90%! This is not a free market at all, it's a private server game run by the whales themselves.
Crazy deposits to secondary exchanges: In the past 24 hours, KuCoin balance surged 521% (increased by $7.07 million), **MEXC surged 201%** (increased by $3.16 million). The main force is frantically moving bricks to these small and medium exchanges, ready to dump "ship" at any time.
$BTC $ETH #本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 #Robinhood交易业务增长能否延续？ I believe the growth of Robinhood's trading business is very likely to continue, but the form of continuation is undergoing a structural shift—the growth engine is switching from the previously high-volatility crypto assets to a combination anchored by stocks and options, with prediction markets as the incremental breakout point. However, the sustainability of this shift depends on whether a key constraint can be broken: the increase in trading activity has not yet effectively translated into simultaneous growth in new users and net deposits. No rate hike in October is already useless, BTC breaks below 80,000 and continues to look bearish
The Federal Reserve's interest rate decision on October 29th is basically without suspense.
The latest rate forecast shows a 90% probability of maintaining 3.75%—4.00%, and only a 10% probability of a 25 basis point hike. The market has fully priced in a pause in rate hikes this month.
What really deserves attention are the last two meetings:
🔸 Probability of rates rising to 4.00%—4.25% in December reaches 68.9%
🔸 Probability of maintaining 4.00%—4.25% in January 2027 is 53.3%
🔸 Probability of further rising to 4.25%—4.50% reaches 28.5%
This indicates the market is trading not on October, but on the expectation that high rates will be maintained longer, or even that rate hikes will resume.
For BTC and ETH, the current pause in October is no longer considered bullish. The press conference continues to release hawkish signals, the US dollar and US Treasury yields strengthen again, and the rebound space for the crypto market will be further compressed.
BTC has already fallen below $80,000, the round number level has turned from support into resistance, and the short-term weak structure has not changed. ETH is inherently weaker than BTC; as BTC continues to probe lower, ETH will follow with a catch-down drop. Once 2300 is broken, the downside space will open further.
Therefore, the biggest trap this week is rushing to go long just because of the words "no rate hike." The short-term outlook remains bearish. What truly determines the market direction is whether the December rate hike expectations will continue to heat up. Many people are waiting for BTC to reach the 75,000 to 76,000 range.
The two white circles indicate the areas.
The BTC price at 75,000 was the price during the last FOMC meeting on September 16, and also the level it pulled back to after the Clarity Act failed to pass.
If consensus believes that the current round faces several risk factors that could cause a significant pullback to 75,000, then such consensus would be overly objective and unrealistic.
For someone like me, I do short-term BTC trading on the 4H timeframe. If it effectively breaks below 79,700, then I really shouldn’t hold too many long positions and should try to stay flat, waiting to see how to act once the risks materialize.
However, at the moment, I’m not very willing to rashly open short positions at 79,700.
The reason is that all the risky events this week are concentrated within the next 72 hours. The safest approach, regardless of long or short, is to keep positions small (less than 5%), which might be the best strategy.
For positions already at a floating loss, once the trading logic structure here is broken, I will choose to stop loss and exit for the portion exceeding 5% of the position.比特币在10月的走势让多空双方都显得狼狈。上周比特币一度跌破8万美元，本周回升至8.4万美元附近，随后又回落至8.1万美元左右。每一次反弹看似充满希望，但每一次反转都暴露出背后信心的匮乏。而在比特币价格之下，市场的损伤要严重得多：约80%的加密代币正在下跌，即便这一旗舰资产在相对狭窄的区间内反复震荡。 数据揭示了什么 在10月17日至23日期间，市场广度急剧恶化。尽管比特币从近期高点的回撤幅度相对温和，但代币的中位数跌幅达到两位数。这种分化是本轮调整的核心特征：资金并未完全撤离加密市场，而是向比特币和少数流动性较好的大盘币集中。 比特币多次未能站稳8.4万美元上方，显示买盘跟进乏力。 山寨币广度崩塌，多数代币呈现更低的高点和更低的低点。 小市值币种成交量萎缩，放大了下行波动。 山寨币为何持续失血 三股力量在起作用。第一，流动性稀缺。在ETF资金持续流入比特币数月之后，边际资金对投机性代币兴趣寥寥。第二，代币供应过剩严重：解锁、风投分配和新项目发行不断稀释持有者。第三，曾经推动山寨币上涨的叙事轮动已经停滞，项目缺乏新增需求来吸收抛压。 比特币自身的反复加剧了问题。当市场龙头无法维持突破时$ETH
Near 2300, why is the decline larger than BTC?
In this morning's spot snapshot, ETH's 24-hour change is -2.40%, ranging between 2300—2371.42 USDT.
BTC declined 1.61% on the same basis, ETH's pullback is greater, indicating no relative defense in this round. When the market contracts, high elasticity assets may bear a higher discount, but the price is insufficient to prove that on-chain revenue is deteriorating simultaneously.
If the ETH to BTC ratio continues to decline, rotation expectations should be lowered; if it stabilizes at a low level while the ratio continues to rise, then increase the judgment for independent recovery.The three things I fear the most have nothing to do with "it performing well".
$UNI
First, I'm afraid it will retrace below 6.9. 6.9 is the level it just broke above; if it can't hold, it's a false breakout. At such a newly flipped level, the most common move is to dip back once before rising again. At that time, unrealized gains shrink from 151% to seventy or eighty percent, and people are most prone to panic trades.
Second, I'm afraid of adding to my position. After a 3% rise, the most tempting thought is "just add one more to double up." A 2.94% buffer means adding once pushes the stop loss to just over 1.5%—a razor-thin margin. To put it professionally, it's a counterproductive trade under diminishing risk-reward; in plain terms: adding more when it’s increasingly unprofitable is courting disaster.
Third, I'm afraid it turns into a zombie position. A 50x funding rate is charged on nominal positions, so even if the direction is right, you pay. Grinding for a day eats up nearly half the profits.
Once these three points are clear, it’s simple: push to break even, at worst lock in zero, follow through if it breaks 7.0 up to 7.2, admit the mistake if it falls back to 6.724. $ETH $BTC
#10月FOMC临近，美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数？ Today, SOL and ZEC followed completely opposite scripts, and it's especially interesting to look at them together.
SOL's on-chain data is unbelievably impressive: RWA surged from 700 million in May to 4.4 billion, with BlackRock and State Street as issuers, 1.4 million addresses holding tokenized stocks, and a trading volume of 4.4 billion in September. But the price is stuck around 106, showing no movement; in October, the ETF had a cumulative net outflow of 68 million, with zero net inflow on the 24th and an outflow of 8.9 million on the 23rd. The on-chain growth hasn't translated into buying pressure for the token because ETF redemptions are continuously draining liquidity at the margin. Technically, there's also a head and shoulders pattern with the neckline near 100; if the daily close breaks below, the next target is 80.
ZEC is at the other extreme. The price is 1,211, with the NU7 upgrade launching on November 5, reducing block time from 75 seconds to 25 seconds, while the halving schedule remains unchanged. The narrative is solid. But on Hyperliquid, among 84 accounts, the total short position is 216.3 million, while longs are only 136.8 million, meaning only 39% are betting on a rise. The largest short position is already at an unrealized loss of 18.04 million, having added 36.81 million margin in the last 24 hours to hold on, with a liquidation price at 1,112. The current ZEC price isn't driven by buying but by shorts not yet conceding. If 1,112 breaks, that will be the real start of a stampede; if shorts cover first, the rebound will be very violent. $BTC $SOL $ETH Contract fund flows reveal a key signal: short-term positions are being taken over, but swing funds have not yet returned.
🔻$BTC: Short-term inflow, medium-term bearish. Net inflow peaks at $36.0436 million from 5 minutes to 1 hour, but net outflow is $629 million over 24 hours and $8.293 billion over 30 days. Short-term buying is attempting a counterattack, but pressure from large capital withdrawals remains.
$ETH: Rebound has funds, but the trend remains under pressure. Net inflow from 5 to 30 minutes, but turns to a net outflow of $70.2395 million at 1 hour, $856 million net outflow over 24 hours, and $8.737 billion net outflow over 30 days.
$SOL: In four words, continuous bleeding. $95.5074 million net outflow over 24 hours, $2.085 billion net outflow over 30 days. Short-term funds fluctuate, but medium to long-term outflows are obvious.
zec: Relatively strong short-term. Net inflow of $10.0513 million in the last hour, $40.115 million over 24 hours, and $193 million over the past week. However, 15-day and 30-day periods still show net outflows.
After rebounding near 80,650 in the early morning, the price was once again suppressed by bears, consecutively closing with bearish candles. The current price of 79,980 is right at the edge of the lower Bollinger Band, even slightly breaking below it. Yesterday's sharp drop was halted, but overall it remains in a weak consolidation recovery.
#本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议
#SpaceX融资400亿美元，马斯克警告AI云断贷 Today we're focusing on ETH because its signals are the most contradictory and most easily swayed by emotions.
First, the bearish evidence: In October, the US spot ETH ETF saw a cumulative net outflow of about $1.18 billion, with institutional buying visibly weak. The Glamsterdam upgrade, originally scheduled to launch on the testnet today, was postponed due to concerns about gas interactions between EIP-8037 and existing contracts.
Now, the bullish evidence: ETH staking hit a record high of 43.8 million tokens, accounting for 35.9% of total supply, with a net inflow of 1.99 million tokens in Q3, marking six consecutive quarters of growth. A single-day withdrawal of 170,000 ETH from exchanges is the largest net outflow in four months. The circulating supply is visibly shrinking, but the price is being held down near 2,335 by ETF sell orders.
BTC is under pressure today in the 79,500-80,025 range, with the US-Iran conflict and Federal Reserve expectations as macro triggers. If BTC doesn't move, ETH is unlikely to strengthen independently. SOL's ETF saw an outflow of 68 million in October; even with on-chain RWA booming, it doesn't translate to the coin price. ZEC is a different story—the largest short position is floating a loss of 18.04 million but still adding margin; 1,112 is its liquidation price. ZEC's volatility is not driven by fundamentals but by leveraged positions stepping on each other.
My view: ETH's 2,300-2,330 range is a psychological bottom line; holding it on the daily close means a "wrongful kill," breaking below it signals a "trend." $BTC $ZEC $ETH On Monday Asian early trading, $ETH touched around 2300 again: current price about 2306, 24h approximately −2.5%, high/low about 2371/2300, weekend rebound basically retraced. Fear and greed index around 50. ETF net inflow on Friday about 4.4 million, previously on 10/22 about outflow of 110 million (Farside), no new prints over the weekend. Staking is firmer—entry queue about 1.27 million ETH (about 22.5 days), exit only about 3500 tokens, total network staking about 44.1 million, approximately 36%. The main events this week are the 10/27–28 rate decision and the 29th PCE; do you think 2283–2300 is a bottoming accumulation zone or a false support before the rate decision? Feedback welcome.
$ETH
Just personal observation, not investment advice. #本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 $ETH Oil prices and gold "diverge"? 🤔
Recently, the market has seen a rare divergence: $CL continues to strengthen, Brent crude oil has risen above $115, hitting a more than five-month high 📈; meanwhile, $XAU has fallen instead of rising, dropping to a three-month low 📉. The traditional "safe-haven gold buying" seems to be temporarily failing.
The key variable remains the Federal Reserve 🏦. Rising oil prices have heightened inflation concerns, and the market worries that monetary policy will be hard to ease, even betting again on rate hikes. Rising interest rate expectations and a stronger dollar are putting pressure on the non-yielding asset gold. Although geopolitical risks exist, safe-haven demand may not be enough to offset the pressure from interest rates and the dollar.
The Fed's rate decision is coming next week ⚠️. If December rate hike expectations continue to rise, gold and U.S. stocks may face another round of repricing. Strong oil and weak gold essentially mean the market is trading "inflation—interest rates" rather than pure safe-haven demand. 📊#Robinhood交易业务增长能否延续？ The high growth of traditional stock/crypto trading is hard to sustain; however, whether the overall trading business can continue depends on whether new engines like prediction markets, options, derivatives, and internationalization can compensate for the decline in crypto, representing a "structural differentiation, high volatility, not linear perpetual growth".
Transaction-based revenue rose 44% year-over-year to $776 million, but the internal structure has completely reversed:
- ✅ Event contracts (prediction markets): $156 million, over 10 times year-over-year, already surpassing crypto trading revenue, currently the strongest growth driver;
- ✅ Options: $342 million, +29%; stock trading: $129 million, +95%;
- ❌ Crypto trading: $100 million, down 38% year-over-year, continuing to drag down.The long-short ratio has tragically dropped to 8%, yet the whales are secretly transferring coins to dump the market! Is the $HYPE rebound a "death spell"?
Direction: Short (short on the rebound)
Entry range: 77.50–78.50
Take profit target: 74.50–73.00
Highlights/Basis:
Whales have aggressively deposited 37.83 million to Coinbase, signaling a prelude to dumping. Flow Score is -98, with a 436 million loss over 15 days; the bulls simply can't hold. At this time, the long-short ratio has tragically dropped to 8%, shorts are crowded; don't blindly chase shorts, wait for the rebound to the resistance zone above 77.5 for a precise strike. #中东原油运输恢复，油价为何仍居高位？ $BTC: Go long!
Strategy:
Wait for the price to pull back to 80500–80700 (EMA5/10/20 dense support zone) and stabilize before entering long. The target is first set at 81500–82000, a dense short liquidation zone, with a stop loss below 79800.
Core basis:
1. Extreme short crowding: short positions total 2.45 billion U, 3.5 times the 700 million U held by longs; the average short price is 76367, current price 80900 is deeply trapped with unrealized losses exceeding 138 million U. Once it breaks upward, it is likely to trigger a short squeeze.
2. Technical deep V pattern: on the 1-hour chart, after a wick down to 79168 for shakeout, price quickly recovered and stands above EMA5/10/20, preliminarily establishing a short-term bullish structure.
3. Favorable risk-reward ratio: 79800 below is a strong defensive bottom, above is a dense short stop-loss area, providing ample space for a short squeeze, with a superior risk-reward ratio.
#10月FOMC临近，美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数？ Damn, after looking at the revenue data from 15 launchpads, it's simply heartbreaking!
In the past month, 10 of them have dropped more than 75%! This business has basically turned from a money printer into a money shredder.
Comparing the average daily revenue in September to the most recent 7 days, StonkFun plummeted 85%, $PONS plummeted 92%, BONK.fun plummeted 85%, o1 Launchpad plummeted 93%, and Ansem is almost down to zero.
Only $PUMP bucked the trend with a 34% increase, earning over $10.33 million in revenue in the last 7 days. The market has already started to seek safety in advance, with BTC and ETH falling simultaneously, and the hourly chart showing consecutive large bearish candles. Everyone is waiting for the FOMC decision; although the market expects no rate hike, the biggest fear is a hawkish speech from Powell.
Interest rate expectations are the core factor affecting crypto prices. Pausing rate hikes does not mean an immediate rate cut; as long as the Federal Reserve maintains high interest rates for longer, the crypto market will struggle to see a strong rebound. The current market weakness is obvious, with ETH showing greater downside elasticity.
Volatility in news this week will increase, so leverage in contracts must be strictly controlled. Do not try to bottom-pick; patiently wait for the meeting outcome, observe the direction chosen by capital, and then consider entering the market.
#本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 No matter how high the TVL is, how much does it really relate to your token?
Public blockchains boast about their ecosystems and compete on TVL every day, yet their token prices crash hard. Why? Because there is an insurmountable wall between the prosperity on-chain and the pockets of token holders.
$NEAR shines under the halo of AI and chain abstraction, but the numbers reveal the truth: in the past 30 days, about $13 million worth of NEAR was newly issued, while the buyback scale was only about $1.9 million, meaning inflation is more than six times the buyback. Moreover, the bought-back tokens are just placed into a "permanent capital instrument" and not burned; their future fate is unknown, so the so-called "deflationary closed loop" is currently just an empty promise.
$OP once designed income buybacks, but with the exit of core chains like Base, monthly buybacks plummeted by 87%, and the foundation publicly stated it will no longer commit to buybacks after 12 months. Buying it essentially means paying for the grand narrative of L2 rather than real cash flow.
$SKY, on the other hand, is a giant that lives off real assets. Although the burn ratio is restrained (strictly limited to 5% of monthly net surplus for permanent burns), the mechanism is completely transparent: the second burn directly destroyed 7.37 million tokens with real money. Its foundation is solid interest spread cash flow, not an ecosystem PPT hanging in the air.
Conclusion:
If a chain’s transactions are active but profits are not used to buy back and burn tokens, what you’re buying is just a governance certificate lacking cash flow support. No matter how high the TVL is, it’s just self-indulgence by the project team.All three markets moved together this weekend, but in different directions.
First, let's clarify the news: Israel's election is on October 27, the US midterm elections on November 3, and foreign media have revealed that the US and Israel have put a new round of plans to strike Iran on the table, targeting nuclear facilities, energy facilities, and missile stockpiles. Trump hasn't signed off yet; the White House says no action before the election, but the market isn't waiting for the signature.
Oil reacted first. On Friday, Brent closed at $116.72 per barrel, up 3.14%, WTI closed at $103.27, up 3.80%. Over the weekend, WTI contracts traded around $103.67, Brent at $111.73, with a combined 24-hour volume of $182 million—someone really held positions over the weekend.
Gold, on the other hand, weakened, at $3979.6 per ounce, down 0.48% from Friday's $3998.9, back below $4000. The safe-haven asset not rising is a signal more worth watching than oil prices.
BTC is the most direct: Hyperliquid native perpetual fell to $79,333, down 2.55% from Friday's $81,407, with the weekend range between $79,184 and $81,502, now hovering near the lower bound. Losing $80,000 means the next support around $78,000 is basically a vacuum.
My judgment: This isn't just about the crypto world itself; oil prices and the election calendar are setting the pricing. If oil doesn't come down, inflation expectations won't be suppressed, rate cuts will be delayed, and risk assets will take the hit first. Don't rush to bottom-fish in the short term; watch two things: whether Trump approves the plan, and whether WTI holds $100. Without resolution, any rebound can only be considered a correction.The most unusual thing over the weekend wasn't BTC falling below 80,000, but gold dropping along with it.
There should be trouble in the Middle East, and money should logically flow into gold. Instead, gold is at $3,979.6 per ounce, down 0.48% from Friday, failing to hold the 4,000 mark. The real gain was in oil, with Brent at 116.72 and WTI at 103.27, rising more than 3 points in one day.
So the market is not trading on risk aversion, but on inflation. With oil prices high, interest rate cuts will be delayed, and high-valuation assets are all taking a hit. BTC dropped 2.55% to 79,333, at the tail end of this chain. Watch the 100 mark on WTI.#HOODQ3TradingGrowth
$HOOD heads into Q3 earnings with record trading volumes
Robinhood reports Q3 tomorrow, and the monthly data already shows a record trading quarter.
Options come to about 851M contracts quarter-to-date, and that only counts September through the 24th. July had 324 million contracts, up 66% year-over-year, and August had 292.5M. September added approximately 234 million through the 24th. The previous high was Q2's record 774 million. $BTC family, did you see that sharp 15-minute plunge of BTC early this morning? It dropped straight down to 79,500. The trigger was Trump's statement "fastest strike on Iran again by Sunday," pushing oil prices up along with inflation expectations, and risk assets were collectively suppressed. And it’s not over yet; the Fed's rate decision on October 28 is the day after tomorrow, and the cooling of rate cut expectations is itself a looming threat.
BTC right now isn’t about watching price rises or falls, it’s about seeing who breaks first. Around 79,673 is the lowest closing area since September 18, and the 80,000 round number has been pierced repeatedly, showing it’s not a solid bottom but the blade of a meat grinder. Wintermute’s mid-term framework is very clear: 75,000 is the key support, 87,000 is the threshold bulls must take. Between these two points, any heavy position is a gamble with your life.
$ETH ETH is stuck around 2,335-2,376 today. The ETF cumulative outflow in October of 1.18 billion is real selling pressure, but the staking amount hit a record 43.8 million tokens, accounting for 35.9% of supply. ETFs that can sell are selling, staked tokens that can’t sell are locked up; this is divergence, not a one-sided move.
$SOL SOL is hovering near 106. The October ETF cumulative net outflow is 68 million, but the on-chain RWA base jumped from 700 million to 4.3 billion, unchanged. The problem is price doesn’t recognize fundamentals, only marginal buying. ETFs are withdrawing, so who will take over?
ZEC is actually the liveliest, with price holding up at 1,211.#SK海力士Q3财报在即，HBM4能否提振盈利？ There is a chance of a slight beat on expectations, but the difficulty is clearly greater than in previous quarters; market expectations are already very high, while LTA long-term contract price locks and the strengthening of the Korean won are the biggest drags. Do not have high hopes for a "significant beat." Most likely, the results will be strong, but an "outperformance" is a cautious low-probability event; the most likely scenario is that the results will be close to consensus, and the final outcome depends on management's guidance for Q4 and next year's HBM.As Middle East supply risks heat up, it's easy for everyone to interpret all crude oil prices as moving in the same direction. But futures rise, oil-producing countries adjust their quotes, and refinery procurement costs change—there are several layers of accounting in between.
A detail worth noting in Saudi Arabia's November quote released earlier: Arab Light crude oil for Asia is priced at a discount relative to the regional benchmark. Note, this is a discount relative to the benchmark and cannot be directly translated as "oil is cheaper for Asian buyers." If the benchmark itself rises, combined with changes in freight, insurance, and so on, the final landed cost may still increase.
This is also why I am increasingly impatient with the saying "when oil prices rise, all energy-related assets benefit." The same barrel of oil involves completely different ledgers for producers, transporters, refineries, and end consumers.
To judge how long this strong momentum can last, besides geopolitical news, we also need to see if spot prices in different regions have caught up and whether refineries are willing to continue purchasing at this cost.
Futures can trade on worries first, but real buyers ultimately have to calculate profits. I acknowledge there are reasons for price increases; however, I cannot treat every piece of tense news as a basis for continued buying. Especially when headlines become increasingly alarming, it's even more important to carefully calculate those actual costs.
#中东原油供应风险再起，油价持续走强 Looking at BTC spot ETFs, I want to first separate a concept that is often confused: a decrease in fund size and net capital outflow cannot be equated directly.
If the BTC price held by the fund drops, even without investors redeeming, the asset size measured in USD will shrink. Conversely, when BTC rises, it can push the fund size up, even if the new capital inflow is not as much as imagined. Attributing all asset size changes to institutional buying and selling can easily lead to a conclusion that sounds grand but is fundamentally shaky.
Recently, capital inflows and outflows have been volatile, and sentiment is already sensitive. Shouting retreat when seeing a size decline, and shouting to buy when seeing a size rebound, will only make oneself toss back and forth with the numbers.
I prefer to look at subscriptions and redemptions, fund coin holdings changes, and coin price together. At least distinguish whether money has actually left or the original assets have just become cheaper.
To judge whether the buying can stabilize, we must return to this question: when prices fall, is new capital continuing to come in; when prices rebound, is this capital quickly exiting.
I still have expectations for BTC, but expectations cannot be supported by statistical definitions alone. If you can't even distinguish between "losing market value" and "capital withdrawal," no matter how passionately you write the subsequent bullish or bearish analysis, you might have gotten it wrong from the very first step.
#BTC现货ETF资金反复，市场买盘能否企稳？ This week's market situation worries me most about one scenario: everyone stays up late waiting for the Federal Reserve, and when the result finally comes out, they feel relieved, but the next day's data drags the market back down.
According to the published schedule, after the October rate meeting concludes, the U.S. will also release GDP and personal income and expenditure data, including the PCE inflation indicator. The rate decision comes first, and the data that influences the next policy judgment arrives afterward. This means the market's first-round reaction to the statement will likely face a second round of testing.
If the decision eases the market, but the subsequent inflation data is strong, the risk assets that just rose may come under pressure again. Conversely, if the press conference is cautious and the following data cools down, it may revise the initial pessimistic judgment.
Therefore, I won't rush to draw conclusions from the first big bullish candle after the rate decision. Rather than guessing the direction in those few minutes, I care more about whether the price can hold after all the news is fully digested.
There have been variables for several consecutive nights, and ironically, the first night is the easiest to get carried away. BTC trading has no closing bell, but human judgment gets fatigued. Treating a two-day test as a multiple-choice question with an answer revealed at once is a costly mistake.
#10月FOMC临近，美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数？ $BTC fell below $80,000 over the weekend, triggered by the US withdrawing personnel from the Middle East?
But before the drop, the signals were already clear👇
📉 ETF net outflows for two consecutive days totaled $773 million
📉 Coinbase premium has been negative for 31 consecutive days, US buying demand remains weak
📉 Long leverage piled up too high, a single crash caused liquidation of over $800 million in 24 hours
📉 Fed meeting on Wednesday, big funds reduced positions early to hedge risks
The withdrawal is just a matchstick; the firewood was already stacked.
The market always falls first, then looks for reasons.$MINIMAX
I don't see MINIMAX's kind of drop as an opportunity.
It dropped 10.8% in 1 hour, OKX perpetual is now at 20.79, down 12% in 24 hours, with a low of 20.59. It fell all the way down from 50 last month, already back to the low range of July.
The reason for the drop is not mysterious. The AI model price war is suppressing the valuation, MiniMax in the Hong Kong stock market is moving along with it, and this contract equals 1 share with 20x leverage, so the Hong Kong stock gap downs are fully absorbed. This coin has no spot market; the price is entirely set by the perpetual contract itself, with only a few million USD traded in 24 hours, making the liquidity very thin.
There is a lot of discussion on Orbit, with both bulls and bears. My view is simple: the pricing anchor is the coins held by others, so I have no say in the rise or fall. I don't take this kind of knife.
#本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 $BTC
Michael Saylor didn’t post a BTC Tracker this weekend.
For the past half year, he almost every weekend showed increased holdings, but this time there was no movement at all. Some speculate MicroStrategy has stopped buying; the company hasn’t responded.
At the same time, Coinbase’s Bitcoin premium index has been negative for 33 consecutive days, currently at -0.1259%. U.S. buyers have been unwilling to pay a premium for a month.
BTC is now around 79,600, OKX’s 24-hour low is 79,390, truly breaking below 80,000. I saw the morning news saying it stalled at 80,000, but after the market pulled, I realized it had already dropped.
Market dominance is actually rising. According to CoinGecko’s metrics, it’s nearly 60%, and the news says 57% is a new high since November 2022. Different algorithms vary slightly, but the direction is consistent: money hasn’t left, it’s all concentrated in BTC.
My judgment is that a slow decline on low volume is harder to endure than a sharp drop on high volume. It neither falls nor rises, wearing down patience. My position is light, so I’m just holding out.
#本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 $BTC stuck at 80,000: Is the double bottom an illusion or the calm before the storm?
Watching BTC's market today, the more I look, the more "disgusted" I feel. It jumps up and down, liquidity is drying up, and both bulls and bears are getting hit.
1. What does the heatmap say?
Looking at the liquidation heatmap, there are liquidation chips around 80,000, but the liquidation resistance above at 82,000-84,000 is equally heavy. This means: pulling up will face selling pressure from short liquidations; falling down leads to a liquidity vacuum below, possibly a free fall. The main players are currently exploding leverage on both long and short sides within this narrow range.
2. Technicals: Double bottom? Don't rush to conclusions
On the 4-hour chart, there seems to be a double bottom shape near 79,340. But looking at the moving averages: EMA9, EMA21, and EMA55 are all above the price, maintaining a bearish alignment. Without a volume breakout above the 82,000 neckline, the double bottom is just paper-thin.
3. Why is the rebound so weak? Some objective points:
1. Geopolitical conflicts + high oil prices: Tensions between the US and Iran keep oil prices high, reigniting inflation expectations and suppressing risk assets.
2. Cooling rate cut expectations: Oil-driven inflation reduces Fed rate cut expectations, raising funding costs and decreasing BTC's appeal.
3. ETF funds are still flowing out: In October, Bitcoin spot ETFs had a cumulative net outflow of about $314 million, with insufficient institutional buying.
4. Whales are accumulating, but spot demand is weak: On-chain data shows large holders buying dips, but exchange balances are rising, indicating ongoing spot selling pressure.
4. My plan:
No guessing the direction. Let the market decide.
· If the rebound stalls at 80,500-81,000 → short with stop loss at 81,500.
· If volume breaks below 79,300 and then rebounds → follow the trend short, target 75,000.
· If volume breaks above 82,000 → double bottom confirmed, consider going long.
The most important thing now is not making money, but not letting this volatile market erode your principal.
Do you think BTC's double bottom can hold? Is the 75,000 liquidation zone already beckoning? Feel free to discuss in the comments!
$BTC $ETH Waiting before FOMC, bearish structure unchanged
BTC near 80,000, ETH near 2,330. After hitting a five-week low over the weekend, BTC barely recovered to 80,000. The fear and greed index is 45, indicating a cold sentiment.
Market and leverage: The technical bearish structure dominates, moving averages are downward, and rebounds are weak. Over 70% of long positions across the network were liquidated in the past 24 hours. Note: BTC's concentrated net long cost zone is at 81,993, with about 64% of longs currently at a floating loss. Continued decline could easily trigger a chain of liquidations, causing cascading selling pressure.
Capital flow: Although BTC ETFs saw a net inflow of 301 million this week ending the continuous outflow, 770 million was withdrawn on Thursday and Friday, returning October's cumulative flow to negative. Institutions proactively reduced exposure ahead of the FOMC. ETH ETFs remain bleak, with nearly 1.18 billion outflow in October, and the funding gap remains wide.
Macro: There is a 92% probability the FOMC will hold rates steady, but over 80% expectation of a rate hike in December. High oil prices continue to suppress risk assets.
Key levels:
BTC support at 79,170 is critical; resistance at 80,500-81,000.
ETH support at 2,280; resistance at 2,380.
In short: Long positions are crowded and cost-locked, ETFs withdrew funds at the close, and breakthroughs before the FOMC are unlikely. Do not chase shorts or bottom-fish. Wait for BTC to stabilize at 79,170 or break above 81,000 with volume before lightly trying longs. Position control is paramount before the decision.I don't think $BTC has confirmed a bottom yet, but the $80,000 level is becoming a key battleground for short-term bulls and bears 🧭. Currently, $BTC is around $80,500, and $ETH is about $2,350; Ethereum is relatively weak, reflecting that risk appetite among funds has not fully recovered, and the consensus to go long is still fragile 📉.
Next, I tend to expect consolidation: if the $80,000 level holds steady and effectively breaks through $82,000, the next resistance to watch is $84,000; if it falls below $78,600, beware of a second dip ⚠️.
Regarding ETFs, although the US spot Bitcoin ETF has seen net outflows for two consecutive days, the entire week still recorded about $300 million in net inflows, indicating short-term capital divergence but not a reversal of the medium- to long-term allocation logic 📊.
Therefore, I am not chasing the rally nor rushing to be bearish; the key is to observe the $80,000 level closely 👀. Do you think $BTC will break above $82,000 first or fall below $80,000 first? 🤔
#10月FOMC临近，美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数？ $BTC is now at 80074, down 0.78% in 24 hours, with the total market cap down 4.24% in the same period. BTC dominance is 59.98%, just one step away from 60%. The external environment over the weekend is forcing risk reduction: gold prices fell below $4000, the risk of renewed conflict between the US and Iran is rising, and the Brazil stock ETF listed in Tokyo was halted due to heavy sell orders. The same situation is visible in perpetual contracts, with EWZ funding rate at -1.48%, the most negative in the market, indicating shorts are hedging Brazilian assets with contracts. In the crypto space, major coins barely moved, the bleeding is in altcoins: $Q down 25.93%, $COMP down 11.17%, turnover rates at 18% and 17%. Against the trend, $CAP rose 38.48%, turnover 46%, funding rate +0.07%, driven by paid leveraged longs. In the next 72 hours, BTC dominance will stand above 60%, with altcoins continuing to underperform. The watershed is BTC at 80000; if it holds, the decline will be limited to altcoins, but if it breaks, risk-off selling will hit BTC as well, causing the total market cap to fall faster.
