With the October FOMC approaching, does the Federal Reserve pausing rate hikes mean good news?
Personally, I think don't be too optimistic! The market's real focus is not just whether to raise rates this time, but how the subsequent interest rate policy will proceed.
Inflation rebound, rising energy prices, and better-than-expected economic performance could all become variables affecting the Fed's decisions.
For BTC and ETH, if the Fed signals a hawkish stance, the market may come under pressure; if the tone is dovish, risk assets might see a rebound opportunity.
My trading approach: don't blindly chase gains or rush to bottom-fish; focus on observing the meeting statement, rate expectations, and the dollar's movement, and act once the direction is clear.
Remember: pausing rate hikes is not the same as cutting rates; the market trades on expectations, but trading should focus on actual signals!
What do you think—will this FOMC lean dovish or hawkish?
#10月FOMC临近，美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数？ Sun Yuchen bought nearly 30 million worth of $PEPE, pulling PEPE up to a maximum of 30% in 6 days, once again validating Sun Ge's judgment.
So everyone dug up the matter of Sun Ge being bearish on $BTC and asked what should be done.
Actually, no need to panic:
1. Sun Ge is bearish on BTC from the perspective of quantum resistance, but this is actually to promote his own Tron chain's newly launched quantum-resistant technology, just publicity for his own business.
2. Sun Ge verbally says he is bearish on BTC, but in fact he hasn't sold any of his own BTC; he only sold $ETH to buy US stocks (NVIDIA, Nasdaq).
3. If BTC were really broken at low cost by quantum computers, the entire crypto circle would be wiped out with no exceptions, not that some coin's quantum resistance could replace BTC. The foundation of crypto is decentralization and on-chain transparency, not quantum resistance.
Of course, from a technical perspective: BTC is weakly consolidating above 80,000, RSI at 42.7, all three moving averages (MA7 82,100 / MA20 82,600 / MA30 83,200) are pressing down, and intraday volatility is only 1.9%;
ETH is the weakest, RSI 34.9, hugging the monthly low of 2317, unable to rebound above MA7 2416;
PEPE, however, is moving above the three moving averages MA7/MA20/MA30 with volume breakout, RSI 53.4, 30-day position 58%, the only one among the three whose structure has not broken.当大盘24小时仅回落逾1%时，$WLD却独自暴跌超过13%——这不是普跌，而是一场针对单一资产的定向抛售。更值得警惕的是，抛压集中在今晨6点那根1小时K线上：价格从0.508直接砸到0.4726，成交量创下近几日峰值。这种“一根针式”放量下破，往往意味着有人急着离场，而不是市场自然换手😅 从凌晨3点起，$WLD就开始了缓慢渗漏式的下滑，6点那根巨量阴线只是把矛盾彻底引爆。此后价格虽有反抽，但至今仍在0.48附近徘徊，没能收复任何关键位置。资金费率只是轻微转负，空头为此支付的持仓成本极低；未平仓合约规模超过3400万美元，说明空头仓位远未到拥挤的程度。换句话说，这轮下跌并非空头合力围剿的结果，更像是多头阵营内部出现了裂口。 这恰恰是市场容易低估的地方。多数人看到13%的跌幅，第一反应是“跌太多了，该反弹了”，但0.508这个位置的性质已经改变——它从今晨之前的底部支撑，变成了破位后的上方阻力。价格反抽到这个区间，面对的不是买盘接力，而是解套盘与新建空单的双重压制。真正的信号不在于跌了多少，而在于反抽时能否重新站上0.508；站不上去，弱势结构就依然完整。 基于这个逻辑，更合理的思路是等#SK海力士Q3财报在即，HBM4能否提振盈利？ 由于AI存储需求旺盛，但HBM4三季度贡献有限，受客户芯片延期、认证调校拖累，出货不及最初预期，盈利主力仍是HBM3E+涨价的通用DRAM。中长期HBM4高毛利属性强，不过三星加速追赶，行业竞争加剧，HBM溢价后续有回落压力；本季度看点更多看现有产品组合、长协订单落地情况，HBM4大规模提振盈利大概率延后至四季度及明年。#SK海力士Q3财报在即，HBM4能否提振盈利？

#10月FOMC临近，美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数？
In the past 11 days, approximately 1917 BTC have been sold, and about 64,500 ETH have been bought.
Currently, ETH/BTC is around 0.0295, the whale's average cost is near $2400, continuously accumulating.
I believe there are reasons for this.
First,
1. The ETH/BTC ratio is at a low level, betting on mean reversion. Historically, after a significant compression of ETH/BTC, there is often a phase of recovery;
2. Ethereum upgrades, staking yields, and the narrative around RWA/stablecoins bring relative strength;
3. BTC was relatively strong before, the whale might be rebalancing by "reducing BTC at highs and increasing ETH at lows";
4. The continuous 11-day duration and the large amount indicate a planned action rather than an emotional sell-off.
Macro is waiting on the Federal Reserve, short-term mainly oscillating.
$BTC oscillation range 81.5–84.5, support near 82, resistance 85–87.
Short term looks range-bound, breaking 85 targets 87, losing 81.5 or retesting lower.
$ETH support 2360–2400, resistance 2500–2540.
ETH/BTC needs to stand above 0.030 to confirm relative strength, otherwise it will continue to lag.The altcoin market is clearly diverging.
About 60% of altcoins have declined this month, but SOL DeFi has risen 17%, DePIN up 6%, and Modular up 2%. The overall market is weak, yet certain sectors still see capital inflows.
SOL DeFi is temporarily leading, possibly reflecting that funds are seeking opportunities with relatively mature liquidity and ecosystem foundations. However, a one-month sector gain is not enough to prove that a new bull market has started.
To judge whether altcoins are truly recovering, one cannot just focus on a few leading sectors. More importantly, the rise needs to spread to more sectors, and ordinary tokens must also start to strengthen.
A few sectors rising indicates a structural market; more sectors strengthening together is closer to an improvement in market breadth.Got hungry in the evening and ordered takeout, it was half an hour late. I finally saw it downstairs on my phone, but the delivery guy called saying the food spilled. Hungry, I looked at my portfolio, all red. Damn, I can't even eat now.
Bought Bitcoin at 83,000, sold twice during the rise leaving some behind, but it auto-stopped loss at 7 AM today, just wasted the effort. Also, these two coins in the screenshot: OP long position entry average price 0.14211, mark price 0.11238, down 209%; XPL long position average price 0.09065, mark price 0.07447, down 178%. On OP, RSI was overbought long ago, funding rate turned positive, crowded longs with a high risk of a spike. News-wise, Korea's Meritz Securities just signed a tokenized finance memorandum with Optimism, the ecosystem is pushing, but the price didn't hold. XPL is worse, had a pump from Stripe partnership, but nearly 30 million tokens will unlock on October 28, pressure looming, and technicals warned of overbought pullback risk long ago.
Honestly, a bit regretful. OP and XPL were chased at the peak of hype, clearly saw overbought signals but still took a chance. Spilled takeout can be reordered, but losses in positions can only be accepted. Gotta control myself in the future, avoid crowding in popular spots. $BTC $OP $XPL If you could make money by knowing a piece of news in advance, why don't hedge funds just buy a newspaper or a news editorial department?
Financial institutions have always been competing for information advantages: faster data, stronger analytical models, more timely news terminals—all of which can influence trading decisions. But buying a media outlet does not mean you can control every piece of news. Reporters have their own judgments, editors need to verify information, and media must bear legal responsibilities and reputational costs.
More importantly, having advance information does not equate to legal trading. When it involves non-public material information, the source of information, how it is obtained, and the specific trading actions can all pose serious compliance risks.
Therefore, capital can buy information channels and media influence, but it is very difficult to turn a news editorial department into a stable profit-making tool.
Knowing earlier is an advantage; making more accurate judgments is another matter; neither guarantees a sure profit. On-chain sides are clashing, let's see who makes the first move tonight
◆ BTC | Whales picked up 110,000 coins in a month, but some are delivering in the short term
BTC 80,614, down 1.35% in 24 hours, daily high 82,060, low 80,451. Santiment says wallets holding 10 to 10,000 coins added about 110,000 coins in a month, the fastest accumulation speed this year; but on the other side, a single transfer of 4,000 coins, about $327 million, went into Binance and Deribit today. The delivery hasn't turned into selling yet, so it counts as pressure overhead for now. Buy again if hourly closes between 80,500-80,700, sell if it closes below 80,500 and watch 80,000, consider rebound if it stands back above 81,000.
◆ ETH | More whales are lining up at the exchange doors
ETH 2,368, down 1.35% in 24 hours, daily high 2,417, low 2,351. On October 22, about 170,000 coins flowed out of exchanges, the largest single-day outflow in three months; but in the past two days, the trend reversed, whales sent 169,800 coins to exchanges, the highest in four months, and early buyers also sent 1,000 coins to Kraken. Outflows are old news, deliveries are the new action, so focus on the new action first. Buy if hourly closes stable around 2,356, sell if it closes below 2,356 and watch 2,320, consider rebound if it stands back above 2,380.
Whales are accumulating and delivering at the same time; before the divergence is revealed, don't reveal your positions first. Did this Ethereum add skill points incorrectly?
The staking volume keeps hitting new highs 📈
But the price of Ethereum hasn't shown much improvement
On-chain data looks better and better
But the candlestick charts are getting uglier
ETH staking volume has already reached 44.1 million tokens
Accounting for 36.1% of the total supply
And another 1.38 million tokens are queued up waiting to be staked
Meanwhile, on the other side
The spot Ethereum ETF is continuously seeing outflows
Some are desperately locking up their tokens
While others keep withdrawing funds
Many brothers think that the more staking there is
The fewer circulating tokens
So the price should be easier to rise
But the problem is
Staking does not equal buying
If you stake the Ethereum you already hold
The market doesn't get any extra buying power
And staking is not a permanent lock-up either
You can still exit later
In short
Reducing sell pressure and increasing buy pressure
Are fundamentally two different things
So I've always felt
To judge whether a coin can rise
You can't just look at how good the on-chain data looks
In the end, it depends on
Whether there is real money willing to enter and take the tokens
What do you think?
Is Ethereum now accumulating strength
Or are long-term holders also about to give up?
$BTC $ETH Undercurrents beneath the ice: volume contraction, liquidations, and counter-trend volume expansion (・ω・)ノ
The market feels like it's entered an ice age: over 200 million liquidated, sentiment brittle and cold. But beneath the ice, funds haven't just lain flat.
$BNB stands out: overall volume shrank, yet its 4-hour turnover increased by 42.27 million (+7.44%), up 1.94% in 24 hours, with positions added by 8.8 million. However, net outflow in 24 hours was 14.56 million—rising the most, but money is flowing out, as if someone is pulling up while withdrawing (￣▽￣)"
$BTC hovers just above 81,500, down slightly 0.15% in 24 hours. 4-hour turnover shrank by 6.542 billion, positions reversed adding 48.65 million; net flow saw 130 million inflow in 12 hours, but 89.23 million outflow in 24 hours. Price is steady, funds are conflicted, as if waiting for the wind (｡•́︿•̀｡)
$ETH is colder: down 0.12% in 24 hours, leading liquidations at 59.47 million; 4-hour positions withdrew 194 million, the largest withdrawal overall. Net flow shows 42.24 million outflow in 24 hours, but 110 million inflow in 12 hours; price pulled back from 2,393 to 2,402 in two hours, barely holding its breath.
In short: volume contraction doesn't mean no action, it's divergence lining up beneath the ice. BNB's volume expansion with outflow, BTC's price-hugging position increase, ETH's liquidation and position reduction—three signals fighting each other. The market is in an ice age waiting for direction; don't just watch price moves, watch where the money flows (・∀・)
Just a market note, not investment advice; data is as of the latest update.Liquidation Structure Divergence: IRYS Shorts Concentratedly Liquidated, BTC and ETH Longs Under Pressure
This round of liquidation data reveals a key signal: liquidations are not uniformly aligned but act "separately by coin."
🔸 BTC liquidations total about 95,227,200 U, accounting for 19.35% of total liquidations, with longs at 85,566,400 U and shorts at 9,660,800 U, clearly making longs the main liquidation target.
🔸 ETH shows a similar pattern, with total liquidations at 62,945,900 U, longs at 52,559,800 U, far exceeding shorts at 10,386,100 U, highlighting the pressure on longs.
🔸 IRYS follows the opposite rhythm: total liquidations at 68,215,100 U, shorts liquidated as high as 58,247,700 U, and longs only 9,967,400 U. In other words, BTC and ETH are clearing longs, while IRYS is concentrating on liquidating shorts, with short positions rapidly harvested.
This divergence indicates the market is not a simple one-sided trend but a misalignment of long and short forces across different coins, with liquidation directions varying. For traders, it is insufficient to judge direction solely by total liquidation volume; attention must also be paid to the long-short structure within each coin. Under the current rhythm, chasing longs in BTC and ETH requires caution against further sweeps, while IRYS shorts have already faced a round of concentrated clearing.

#10月FOMC临近，美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数？ #SK Hynix Q3 earnings report is coming, can HBM4 boost profitability? PEPE +12% today, meme funds rotating again. OKX price at 0.000004936, approaching the 24h high, with a trading volume of 19.1 million, moving averages in a bullish alignment.
The drivers are straightforward: first, a wallet suspected to be associated with Justin Sun withdrew 7.2 trillion PEPE from Poloniex (about $28.44 million), currently holding around $32.63 million, indicating a whale accumulating at low prices; second, the altcoin season indicator is warming up, with funds flowing out of BTC into meme coins, BOME +7.87% showing synchronous resonance.
Market situation: rebounded from the 24h low of 0.000004332, closely hugging the previous high of 0.000004969, after a symmetrical triangle breakout, exchange supply has decreased, showing signs of chip outflow.
Sentiment resonates with whales; whales accumulate slowly as a variable, rotation is a faster variable; when sentiment hasn't faded, lows are supported, but a single large bearish candle in meme coins can wipe out a week's gains, so don't get carried away.
#山寨永续未平仓量21个月来首次超过BTC Analyst Ali Martinez: Midterm elections may trigger a BTC pullback, watch the $73,000 support level
On October 24, cryptocurrency analyst Ali Martinez posted on the X platform that with the U.S. midterm elections scheduled for November 3, Bitcoin may face a new round of volatility. He pointed out that in the past four midterm election cycles, BTC experienced significant pullbacks, with declines of 72%, 65%, 52%, and 27% in 2010, 2014, 2018, and 2022 respectively; except for 2010, the other three midterm election years recorded negative returns in the fourth quarter. Ali believes $73,000 is the current key price level, close to the average cost basis of short-term BTC holders. If it falls back to this area, it is necessary to observe whether selling pressure weakens and if buying support can form. He also emphasized that historical correlation does not mean the election directly causes the decline; the trend is still influenced by liquidity and macroeconomic conditions.
#10月FOMC临近，美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数？ $BTC $ETH $SOL ETH: Monthly structure weaker than BTC, rebound still requires capital inflow support
Current price around 2,364, 20-day and 50-day moving averages approximately 2,491 and 2,548 respectively, both above the current price; cumulative decline of about 11.2% over the last 30 full days. Therefore, the area near 2,500 will be a more important monthly resistance level than the current hourly level.
From October 19 to 22, the net outflow of US ETH spot ETFs totaled about $225 million, and the current capital situation is still insufficient to support a clear reversal judgment. ETF data
**Base scenario:** Slightly weak oscillation, with 2,300–2,550 as the main observation range; rebounds can occur during this period, but sustainability needs confirmation.
**Strengthening condition:** Recover and hold 2,500–2,550, along with improved ETF inflows, then a further recovery to 2,650–2,750 is expected.
**Weakening condition:** Effective break below 2,300, need to watch 2,150–2,200; the current 200-day moving average is about 2,156, also in this area.$LA going long at a high level is just frustrating, whatever, sold it.BTC: Relatively more resistant to decline, tends to first form a bottom before seeking recovery opportunities
Current price is about 80,527, below the 20-day moving average of about 82,826 and the 50-day moving average of about 81,776, indicating that short- to mid-term pressure remains. However, the cumulative drop over the last 30 full days is about 3.9%, significantly less than ETH and SOL's approximately 11% decline.
There is also divergence in capital flow: from October 19 to 22, the US BTC spot ETF had a total net inflow of about $439 million, but on the 22nd alone, a net outflow of about $636 million, showing that buying interest is still unstable. ETF data
**Base scenario:** First fluctuate widely between 79,500 and 85,000, gradually digesting selling pressure. I lean towards bottoming and recovery rather than an immediate sustained rise.
**Conditions for strengthening:** First reclaim 83,000, then break through and hold above 85,000, only then is there a chance to test around 87,000 again.
**Conditions for weakening:** Daily closing consistently below 79,500, and failure to recover on rebounds; the next observation zone shifts down to 76,000–78,000. $1.68 BTW, do you dare to catch the falling knife?
From a flash crash of 38% from 2.75, with funding rates negative down to -0.6%, the whole network is shouting "zero," but the short liquidation cluster is hanging just above 2.0—before the big unlock on November 2, will the whale force a short squeeze first, then let you catch the supply?
Let's look at the surface first: a spike followed by a pullback, but not dead yet.
BTW dropped nearly 40% from the historical high of 2.75 on October 14 to 1.68. In the past 24 hours, it has been trading between 1.67-1.72 with shrinking volume at highs, and open interest down 11%. The candlesticks tell you: short-term correction underway, 1.50-1.67 is the recent key demand zone, resistance at 1.80-1.90, strong resistance at 2.00—all indicators are saying one thing: oversold recovery is possible, but don’t mistake the rebound for a reversal.
Are you feeling like this now?
You didn’t sell at 2.7, want to cut losses at 1.68, but after cutting, you’re afraid it will bounce back to 2.0?
First thing: Negative funding rate doesn’t mean more shorts, it means shorts are paying protection fees to longs.
Binance perpetual funding rate is about -0.6% every 4 hours, insanely high annualized. What does it mean?
Shorts are paying longs.
Open interest dropped 11%, meaning some shorts are closing positions, but the rate is still negative—shorts remain crowded.
More exciting is the liquidation heatmap: a cluster of short liquidations near 2.0 above, and a cluster of long liquidations between 1.38-1.48 below.
This is not "price discovery," it’s a powder keg of "liquidity squeeze."
Negative funding rate is not a bearish signal, it’s shorts lining up to pay longs.
But don’t get too excited.
Negative funding can persist because no one is catching the spot. Once the 101.6 million tokens unlocked on November 2 hit the market, the negative rate could instantly turn positive—then you’ll be the one paying.
Second thing: Low circulation is a double-edged sword, don’t mistake "scarcity" for a positive.
BTW’s max supply is 10 billion, but circulating supply is only 15%-29%. Low circulation is the core reason it surged to 2.75 after launch: fewer chips, cheaper to pump, shorts get squeezed easily.
But remember this painful truth:
The candlesticks of low circulation coins are drawn, not naturally formed.
The remote control is in the hands of the whales, who can switch channels anytime.
Monthly linear unlock is about 101.6 million tokens, next on November 2, 2026, worth about $170 million at current prices—significant proportion of market cap. Team and investor shares have cliff periods, with major releases starting around spring 2027.
So the current script is clear:
Before unlock: low circulation + negative funding + crowded shorts create conditions for a short squeeze.
At unlock: $170 million selling pressure, who will catch it?
After unlock: only if the sell pressure is absorbed and price holds can we talk about "fundamentals."
The pump before unlock is never to make you money, it’s to let retail catch the unlocked supply.
Third thing: Fundamentals have a story, but the story hasn’t turned into revenue yet.
Bitway talks about "Bitcoin native infrastructure": non-custodial BTC lending, stablecoin yields, Bitcoin-compatible PoS L1. The team has former Binance Labs background, raised $4.4 million+, supported by TRON DAO, HTX Ventures, YZi Labs.
Sounds good.
But you must distinguish: this is "narrative," not "cash flow."
Currently no major new products or big partnerships driving growth; the rise mainly comes from low circulation, Binance wallet activity, exchange listings, and short squeezes. Some analyses bluntly say: this is a "liquidity story," not fundamentals quickly realized.
In low circulation coins, fundamentals are for the bag holders, liquidity is what the pumpers watch.
Bull vs. bear, you decide:
On one side:
Negative funding rate -0.6%/4h, shorts paying, big squeeze potential
Short liquidation cluster near 2.0 above
1.50-1.67 key demand zone, possible oversold recovery
Low circulation + Binance perpetual, high elasticity when sentiment hits
On the other side:
101.6 million tokens unlocking on November 2, about $170 million selling pressure
40% pullback from 2.75, volume shrinking at highs
No new catalysts, profit-taking + macro caution
Low circulation coins have concentrated holdings, dumping without mercy
Key levels
Resistance above: 1.80-1.90 → 2.00 (psychological + short liquidation zone) → 2.50-2.75 (previous high)
Support below: 1.50-1.67 (recent demand zone) → 1.35-1.40 → 1.20
Trading strategy
Short-term traders:
Hold 1.50-1.67 (especially above 1.60) to try light longs, stop loss below 1.48-1.50. Targets first 1.85-1.90, then 2.00. Negative funding favors longs, holding also earns funding fees.
If it breaks 1.50 with volume, don’t catch the falling knife, watch 1.35-1.40. Shorts are crowded above, be cautious chasing shorts.
Mid-term players:
Wait and watch price around November 2 unlock. Only if selling pressure is absorbed and price stabilizes above 2.00 with volume can you challenge previous highs. Don’t heavy bet on direction before unlock.
BTW now is like the busiest table in a casino—
Winners don’t want to leave, losers want to break even, the house smiles and takes the rake.
You think you’re trading, but you’re actually part of a liquidity and unlock game.
The bull market of low circulation coins isn’t a retail bull market, it’s the whales’ cash machine.
You can sit at the table, but don’t put your whole stake on it.
$BTC $ETH $BTW STRK has 93.52% approval votes, but what has been approved is still just research.
The project team announced on October 22 that this non-binding vote supports researching the feasibility of an independent L1. The migration plan has not yet been approved; after research and design are completed, a formal vote will be held. As of 18:23 Beijing time, OKX spot price is about $0.04799, down about 7.2% in 24 hours, with a daily volatility of about 12.7%, and a trading volume of about $8.26 million.
At 17:00, the hourly closing price dropped from $0.04898 to $0.04840, and the nominal value of open contracts decreased from about $7.87 million to $7.67 million, a decline of about 2.55%. I am more concerned whether a concrete design can be produced after the vote. Taking the high approval rate directly as the upgrade implementation would overestimate the progress of this news; the price and positions falling together also cannot alone be used to conclude that the research is rejected by the market.
The next step is to look at the research conclusions and formal proposals announced by the project team. If there is only a statement to continue research, the existing evidence is still insufficient to change this judgment.
$STRK $BTC ⚠️ Don't get itchy-handed over the weekend! BTC at the 80,000 level, holding it means a shakeout, breaking it is the trigger for a decline 🔥
BTC is currently oscillating around 81,000. Many underestimate the significance of the 80,000 mark. The core of the game is never just the price, but the confrontation between sentiment and chips.
According to Glassnode data, 80,000‑81,500 is the average cost zone for ETFs and coin-hoarding listed companies. Binance's massive spot buy walls also cluster here, which is the lifeline for institutions to recover costs. Holding this level means a consolidation shakeout; once the daily chart breaks below, ETF holders collectively turn to losses, and the next target directly points to 77,600. Sell orders cluster at 86,500‑87,500 above, with short liquidation zones buried between 85,000‑87,000, but the power to ignite the market lies in macro factors.
In contrast, ETH is even weaker, with a weak rebound at 2,380. The 2,300‑2,350 range has been tested multiple times. Although buyers held during multiple dips in October, the rebound remains weak. Support is repeatedly tested, and the risk of breaking down continues to rise. If 2,350 fails, 2,300 becomes critical, and downside space will open, targeting 2,200 or even 2,025. During liquidity tightening phases, ETH is always the first to have funds withdrawn.
Market liquidity is poor over the weekend, making it easy for malicious spikes to occur. Control your hands; do not enter the market lightly to speculate!

👇I've always thought that the best storytellers on Wall Street might not actually be those fund managers, but Elon Musk.
Just look at $SPCX. Rockets, Starlink, AI, space data centers, and now even expectations of a Tesla and SpaceX merger have emerged. Others tell one story and the stock price flutters for a while; Musk can tell five or six at once, and there really are funds willing to pay for his imagination.
This week SpaceX announced Q3 results, with revenue reaching $14.6 billion, a 161% year-over-year increase. The AI business already contributes about half of the revenue. Then Musk expressed support for the idea of a Tesla and SpaceX merger, and SPCX surged about 11% on Wednesday.
This is the scariest thing about Musk. Sometimes one sentence from him can make the market recalculate a company's next ten years.
As of Friday's close, SPCX was around $147. First, see if it can hold above $150; if not, watch the supports at $145 and $140. If it rebounds to $150–$155 and clearly faces resistance, consider a light short position with a stop loss above $158, first targeting $145, then $140. If it truly breaks through $155 and holds, abandon this short plan.
I've never doubted Musk's influence, and SpaceX's business growth is indeed substantial. But no matter how sexy a company's future is, the stock price can't be pushed up forever by imagination alone.
The biggest fear is that just after Musk tells a new story, the market is willing to add tens of billions more in valuation to SPCX. Shorting this kind of stock, even if you get the direction right, is not always easy to hold.This long position expresses a bullish intention, but I still can't consider it a trend-following trade—without price structure and sentiment data, an upward direction does not equal following the trend. Monitoring shows Core Trader 84 opened a new long $XYZ100 with 30x leverage, nominal position about $387,800, and the outcome is not yet known.
My first principle for trend trading is to first look at the price movement, then the wallet. If the highs and lows keep rising, this long position has a basis for trend-following; if the structure is still weakening, then it’s a counter-trend bet on a rebound. No matter how famous the wallet name is, it can’t replace this step.
The second principle is to distinguish between sentiment and trend. A single address opening a long position doesn’t indicate the market is unanimously bullish. If sentiment is already crowded, chasing longs is prone to drawdowns; if sentiment is bearish but price strengthens, I pay attention to whether there is a divergence opportunity. All these need verification; conclusions can’t be drawn solely from this monitoring.
The third principle is to make leverage obey fault tolerance. With 30x leverage, a reverse move of about 3.3% can wipe out the initial margin, and actual liquidation is also affected by margin mode and other factors. Even if the direction is right, volatility can push you out first.
The trend is the best friend. My attitude is to wait for structural confirmation and not use high leverage as proof of confidence. When encountering such 30x long positions, do you now use moving averages, previous highs and lows, or volume to judge whether it is trend-following?On the eve of the $ETH $BTC $SOL FOMC decision, the market is stuck in a tense standoff between bulls and bears 📊
BTC is fluctuating around 80800, while ETH holds steady at the 2380 level. As the Federal Reserve meeting approaches, the market opts to wait and hedge risks; the fear and greed index has dropped from 68 to 50, officially entering a neutral zone, with bullish and bearish sentiments balancing out.
On the capital front, ETF funds are being pulled back and forth. The BTC spot ETF saw a net inflow of $1.075 billion over three consecutive days from October 19 to 21, but on Thursday alone, there was a net outflow of $636 million. In contrast, the ETH ETF recorded only $14.96 million inflow during the same period. The treatment of institutional funds between these two major assets is clearly different.
On the leverage side: after a round of liquidation, bulls are repositioning. In the past 24 hours, the total liquidation across the network reached $441 million, with long positions accounting for a high 90%, equivalent to $397 million; among them, BTC long liquidations accounted for 95% of its own liquidation volume. Interestingly, after the liquidations, open interest contracts slightly rose by 1%, indicating traders did not exit but rather re-established positions after stop-losses were triggered.
On the macro level, the Federal Reserve decision remains the biggest uncertainty. The market expects a 92% probability that rates will remain unchanged on October 28, but the expectation for a rate hike in December remains high at 83%. Brent crude oil is approaching $113, and inflation concerns continue to suppress risk assets.The Nasdaq fell 2.6%, and ETH followed the "high beta" downtrend
Looking at the macro linkage, this is the fundamental transmission mechanism behind this sharp drop.
At the close of the U.S. stock market on October 22, the Nasdaq index dropped 2.60%, and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index plunged 6.7%. Funds did not flow into tech stocks, nor did they flow into the crypto market. Instead, funds flowed into U.S. Treasury safe havens—the 10-year Treasury yield fell more than 19 basis points in a single day, marking the largest single-day drop since March 2023. However, this is not an "improvement in risk appetite," but rather funds withdrawing from high-volatility assets and seeking refuge in government bonds.
The correlation between Ethereum and Nasdaq has been very tight since 2026. When AI trading cools down and tech stocks are sold off, ETH, as a "high beta risk asset," suffers a more severe decline than BTC. On October 23, Bitcoin fell about 3% to around $81,000, while Ether dropped over 6% to about $2,350—ETH’s decline was twice that of BTC.
ETH was not dumped by the crypto community. It was indirectly pushed down by the Nasdaq’s 2.6% bearish candle and the flight of funds into U.S. Treasuries as a safe haven. #10月FOMC临近，美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数？ #AI需求支撑存储市场，芯片股行情反复 #中东原油供应风险再起，油价持续走强 $BTC $ETH $ZEC Crude oil has risen above $100, and BTC is struggling to hold $80,000! If oil prices continue to surge, I think the crypto market might face another tough phase ahead.
On Friday, WTI crude closed at $103.27, and Brent even surged to $116.72, with weekly gains of 4.3% and 6.2% respectively. The Middle East situation has become tense again, and the transport risk through the Strait of Hormuz remains unresolved, so the upward pressure on crude oil persists.
Many might not understand the connection between rising oil prices and BTC. As oil prices keep rising, transportation and production costs increase, making it harder to bring down inflation. If the market worries that the Fed will maintain high interest rates, the dollar and US Treasury yields tend to strengthen, putting pressure on liquidity-sensitive assets like BTC.
Reuters also mentioned on Friday that rising energy prices are increasing market concerns about inflation and year-end rate hikes. The Fed has a policy meeting next Wednesday.
BTC just dropped to 80,555, with the 15-minute MA20 at 80,735, and the MACD has formed a bearish crossover again. In the short term, I’m watching 80,450; if it breaks below and fails to rebound, I’ll consider light short positions with a stop loss at 80,800, first targeting 80,000, then 79,700.
On the crude oil side, I’m more focused on whether WTI can hold $100. If it continues to push toward 105–110, BTC’s rebound might still be suppressed by macro sentiment; if oil prices fall back and inflation worries ease, and BTC climbs back above 81,000, I’ll consider switching back to long positions. #SK海力士Q3财报在即，HBM4能否提振盈利？
It can boost profits, but the earnings are "money from getting a head start," not "money earned passively."
To put it simply, HBM4 is like an "ultra-wide high-speed highway" for AI chips. The hotter AI gets, the more congested the road becomes, naturally driving prices up. SK Hynix started early, supplying Nvidia's next-generation platform as early as July. Q3 is the first full quarter to account for this business, and the first full month of the new hot product launch. It's only natural that the revenue looks good. Moreover, HBM4 is significantly more expensive than the previous generation. Early suppliers can enjoy this "first-mover premium," combined with rising prices of regular memory, effectively riding the tailwind, making it easy to push profits to a new high.
But there is a concern: Nvidia's new platform launch has been delayed, and actual HBM4 shipments haven't met initial expectations. Samsung is catching up quickly, narrowing SK Hynix's lead. So profits can be boosted, but it's "money from being one step ahead." Once everyone catches up, this bonus will thin out. $SKHYNIX A blast in the Middle East sent oil prices soaring, with Brent crude hitting $115.
As oil surges, inflation rises again, and the probability of a rate hike in December is maxed out.
As a result, Bitcoin is struggling near 80,000, and gold, once at $4,000, briefly dipped below that.
Previously, the strategy was to buy gold and Bitcoin during wars; now, during wars, people first sell gold and Bitcoin.
When liquidity collapses, what everyone scrambles for is cash and U.S. Treasuries, not candlestick charts. $BTC $SOL $SOL
Saw some news that an address closed a long position on SOL and reversed to open a $10 million short position. Someone commented below that this is smart money exiting first as a courtesy.
Don't rush to follow. SOL is currently at 101.5, down 2.8% in 24 hours, with a low of 101.13, just 1.5 away from 100. Opening a $10 million short right near the round number suggests a higher suspicion of short chasing.
Also, the entire network saw $251 million liquidated in 24 hours, 85% of which were longs holding on. The longs have already been cleared out somewhat, so there's less fuel to push prices down further. The funding rate is still positive at 0.01%, and retail investors haven't switched to short.
My stance: this looks more like a shakeout than a trend reversal. The 100 round number usually offers some resistance on the first touch; only if it truly breaks will it be a different story.
#10月FOMC临近，美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数？ ⚠️ Don't get itchy-handed over the weekend! BTC at the 80,000 level, holding it means a shakeout, breaking it is the trigger for a decline 🔥
BTC is currently oscillating around 81,000. Many underestimate the significance of the 80,000 level. The core of the game is never just the price, but the confrontation between sentiment and chips.
According to Glassnode data, 80,000‑81,500 is the average cost zone for ETFs and coin-hoarding listed companies. Binance's huge spot buy walls also cluster here, which is the lifeline for institutions to recover costs. Holding this level means a consolidation shakeout; once the daily chart breaks down, ETF holders collectively turn to losses, and the next target directly looks toward 77,600. Sell orders cluster at 86,500‑87,500 above, with short liquidation plans buried between 85,000‑87,000, but the power to ignite the market lies in macro factors.
In contrast, ETH is even weaker, with a weak rebound at 2,380. The 2,300‑2,350 range has been tested multiple times. Although buyers held during multiple dips in October, the rebound remains weak. Support is repeatedly tested, and the risk of breaking down continues to rise. If 2,350 fails, 2,300 becomes critical, and downside space will open, looking toward 2,200 or even 2,025. During liquidity tightening phases, ETH is always the first to have funds pulled out.
Market liquidity is poor over the weekend, making it easy for vicious spikes. Control your hands; do not enter the market lightly to gamble!

#AI需求支撑存储市场，芯片股行情反复 Two transactions of 75 million each, all going into the same wallet, this doesn't look like retail investors buying a fund 😐
Franklin Templeton's tokenized money market fund on the XRP Ledger has added $150 million in shares this time, totaling about 193 million shares, valued at $200 million based on $1.039 per share.
But ownership and keys are separate; that wallet shares the same set of eight authorized signatures with the issuing account, and any two can move the money. Holding requires the issuer's approval, balances can be frozen, and tokens can be recalled.
So this is not "free circulation on-chain," it's moving the ledger of a money market fund to a place where someone can pull the plug. The two biggest things on-chain, the second is this, the first is RLUSD, both controlled by whoever issues them 😅

$XRP BTC smart money also holding positions: a volatile situation under the squeeze of long and short costs
On-chain positions show that BTC smart money has not easily profited. Currently, there are 910 long accounts and 1315 short accounts, with a nominal long-short ratio of only 30.83%. Long positions total about $763 million, with an average cost of $86,808, an unrealized loss of about $59.76 million, and only 10.32% of long accounts are profitable, with most longs deeply underwater. Short positions total about $2.47 billion, with an average cost of $76,621, an unrealized loss of about $119 million, but 67.98% of accounts are still profitable; however, the price rebound is accelerating unrealized losses.
The current price is $80,610, right between the long and short cost levels. Long costs are high with a large loss area; short costs are low with remaining profit cushions but increasing pressure. Both sides are under simultaneous pressure, making the short term more like a range tug-of-war, and a one-sided market is unlikely to develop quickly. At this time, chasing longs or shorts is prone to passivity; it is safer to wait for the price to effectively break through one side's cost range before judging the direction.

#BTC现货ETF资金反复，市场买盘能否企稳？
#AI需求支撑存储市场，芯片股行情反复 Core Dialectic: The threat power of AI + quantum is significant, but it cannot be simply equated with nuclear weapons, and Bitcoin is not destined for unstoppable catastrophic crashes
First, let's distinguish two key points:
AI itself cannot directly break Bitcoin's ECDSA encryption; AI's role is to accelerate the development of quantum computers, optimize quantum circuit design, and shorten the hardware threshold and development cycle required for quantum cracking. The real direct breaker of signature algorithms is a fault-tolerant quantum computer (Shor's algorithm).
Nuclear weapons cause instant, irreversible, physical-level destruction; quantum threats are long-term structural risks to cryptographic systems, with warning windows and remedial solutions, not instant one-click destruction.
1. Why many people think its power is comparable to nuclear-level risk
1. The attack target is Bitcoin's most fundamental security root
Bitcoin's security relies on the secp256k1 elliptic curve signature. A sufficiently powerful fault-tolerant quantum computer can derive the private key from the public key. Once realized, the over 6 million BTC whose public keys have been exposed will be directly at risk of theft.
Once the market confirms that quantum attacks are operationally feasible, everyone will immediately suspect their addresses could be stolen at any time. Bitcoin's core narrative of "password security and immutability" will collapse, triggering panic selling and deep crashes.
2. AI accelerates the arrival of this risk
Previously, the industry generally estimated the quantum threat to emerge after 2030–2035; AI-assisted quantum circuit, error correction algorithm, and mathematical solution development continuously reduce the number of quantum bits needed for cracking, pushing the estimated "quantum doomsday Q-Day" earlier and compressing the industry's preparation time.
3. Strong chain reaction effect
Similar to the chain destruction of a nuclear explosion: it's not just losing a few coins, but trust collapse. Institutions, ETFs, and whales will prioritize withdrawal, liquidity will rapidly dry up, prices will cascade down, dragging the entire crypto market's confidence into collapse.
2. But it fundamentally differs from nuclear weapons, and Bitcoin is not doomed to destruction
1. Mining power (SHA256 hash) is not easily broken quickly by quantum
Quantum algorithms have limited acceleration effect on hash mining; the main risk is transaction signatures (ECDSA), not mining itself.
2. The Bitcoin community has protocol upgrade options (post-quantum BIP proposals)
In theory, through governance voting, it can switch to quantum-resistant signature algorithms to complete a "lock change." The difficulty is not technical but achieving full network consensus: whales, old addresses, miners, and exchanges have different interests, causing huge upgrade disagreements; especially those long-dormant old addresses whose holders have lost private keys, assets cannot be migrated, leaving those coins permanently exposed to quantum risk.
3. The threat has clear prerequisites: the creation of a fault-tolerant universal quantum computer
Currently, all quantum devices are noisy intermediate-scale quantum devices (NISQ) with insufficient error correction, not yet meeting the standard to break ECDSA. There is no immediate cracking capability now; it is a long-term risk, not a weapon already deployed.
4. AI's independent risks are more about scams, on-chain vulnerability exploitation, and market manipulation
AI cannot directly calculate private keys; its near-term harms are mass phishing, deepfakes, automatic contract vulnerability discovery, and creating false positive or negative news for profit, which are auxiliary attacks, not bottom-layer cryptographic destruction.
3. Summary in one sentence
AI + quantum combined is the heaviest long-term cryptographic crisis in the crypto world so far. Once mature and deployed, it could trigger an epic Bitcoin crash; but it is not an instant irreversible destruction like nuclear weapons.
Whether a crash happens depends on three variables: ① when fault-tolerant quantum computers truly become commercially available; ② whether the Bitcoin community can reach consensus in advance to complete post-quantum upgrades; ③ whether the market prices in panic ahead of time.
There is no "destined unstoppable" scenario, but the upgrade difficulty is extremely high, consensus battles are huge, the risk is real and heavy, and this is the underlying source of narratives in the post-quantum track (such as post-quantum routes like STRK).$XRP vs $ZEC : Smart Money Favors Further Downside
Both assets show strong bearish positioning, with profitable shorts dominating while longs struggle.
ZEC looks particularly vulnerable. Short exposure exceeds longs by more than 6 times, suggesting strong bearish conviction.
XRP faces similar pressure, but its smaller imbalance makes the setup less extreme.
My view: ZEC remains the weaker asset, while XRP has slightly better recovery potential. Liquidation structure divergence! IRYS short positions face concentrated liquidation, BTC and ETH longs under pressure
📊 Liquidation statistics by coin
✅ BTC
Total liquidation: 95,227,200 U, accounting for 19.35%
Long liquidation: 85,566,400 U | Short liquidation: 9,660,800 U
✅ IRYS
Total liquidation: 68,215,100 U, accounting for 13.86%
Long liquidation: 9,967,400 U | Short liquidation: 58,247,700 U
✅ ETH
Total liquidation: 62,945,900 U, accounting for 12.79%
Long liquidation: 52,559,800 U | Short liquidation: 10,386,100 U
Core
The market shows clear divergence: BTC and ETH mainly cleanse longs, with a large number of long positions liquidated; IRYS is the opposite, with shorts facing massive liquidation, short-side chips being concentratedly harvested, and long-short forces moving in completely opposite rhythms across different coins.Three assets, three different questions. Reading crypto through price alone hides the mechanics that actually decide who carries the risk. Start with $ETH. In a seven-hour window on Binance's ETHUSDT perpetual, open interest rose about 1.4% in coin terms, yet nominal value grew only around 0.4%, roughly 23.46 million USDT. The gap is the story: falling prices offset part of the contract-count increase, so more positions do not mean proportionally more capital committed. Distinguishing coin quantOn October 22, $BTC once dropped to about $81,000, down 4.26% for the day, and $ETH fell 5.53%. Long liquidations in 24 hours reached about $418 million, with over 100,000 people forcibly liquidated.
Behind this are three things:
1. Oil prices: WTI hit $100 per barrel, Brent rose to $117, inflation concerns strengthened rate hike expectations, which usually suppress cryptocurrencies and the stock market.
2. AI stocks: The market began to doubt the returns on AI investments, with giants continuously pouring money into infrastructure, but revenue growth has not kept up, leading to tech stock sell-offs.
3. Interest rates: The 10-year US Treasury yield is at a more than 20-year high.
So $BTC’s role these days is as a risk asset sold alongside tech stocks. The "digital gold" narrative has not been reflected in these days.
An interesting divergence:
• Retail investors: Long positions liquidated, $BTC is expected to close the month down for the first time since July.
• Institutions: On the same day, Bitcoin ETFs saw a net inflow of about $528 million.
• Prediction markets: Reportedly, Kalshi and Polymarket set a new weekly trading volume record of $2.7 billion.
Short-term is dominated by leveraged long liquidations, but long-term funds have not withdrawn. The simultaneous appearance of these two signals indicates no consensus in the market.
What to watch next:
• Oil prices and US-Iran situation
• US Treasury yields and Federal Reserve expectations
• AI stocks’ earnings reports and valuation discussions
• US elections (some institutions believe BTC may strengthen after the election, but this is just one opinion, not a conclusion)
A word for friends with high leverage: Macro-driven markets have the most spikes and chain liquidations. Set stop losses before the liquidation price and leave enough margin; this is more important than guessing the direction.
What do you think? Is $BTC more like a tech stock now or a safe-haven asset? Let’s discuss in the comments.
#比特币 #BTC #以太坊 #加密货币 #宏观 #爆仓 #美联储 #ETF #AI股 #原油$ORDER I think I understand why the recent mainstream market has been so weak; all the funds have flowed into altcoins, and the altcoin strength recently is terrifying.
Half-hour gains of 50% have become common lately, like this morning's $BMT, now $ORDI, and yesterday's $IRYS. The top ten on the gainers list are all no good.
Another highly controlled pump coin, with multiple buys from project-related addresses (many transactions, not all captured). Tokens will unlock again on the 26th. The bottom has been consolidating and accumulating since the beginning of the year until today. Most of those who were at the peak have basically been cleaned out. Various factors have caused this violent pump.
Note: Don't rush to short yet!
The gains from this violent pump definitely won't be low. It's just starting and may still have a 20-50% increase. Shorting now is likely to get shaken out.$BTC BTC just hit a new 24h low of 80390, only a few hundred points away from the nearest long liquidation wall below.
On the CoinGlass liquidation map, if it drops to 80108, about $85 million worth of long positions will be liquidated; if it rises to 81452, only about $49 million of short positions will be liquidated.
In the past 24h, BTC liquidations totaled about $91 million, 89% of which were longs. Despite so many liquidations, the OKX funding rate is still positive, meaning longs haven't given up yet.
The nearby support is large in volume; if the shorts press a bit more, there will be fuel for a move.Brent crude is at 117, $BTC is still holding firm around the 80,000 mark
The market focus these past two days shouldn't be on crypto, but on oil.
$BZ Brent crude closed at 116.7 last night, up 3.1% in a single day, hitting a 6-month high; $CL WTI has surpassed 103. Concerns over Middle East supply disruptions are escalating, and oil prices are climbing step by step.
Many people don't understand the connection between oil and crypto, but the chain is actually straightforward: oil prices are the lifeblood of inflation. As long as oil stays high, US inflation won't come down. Consumer inflation expectations for the year have already risen to 4.7%, the highest in 5 months. With sticky inflation, the Fed won't cut rates; instead, the probability of a rate hike at next Tuesday's FOMC meeting is increasing. High interest rates, a strong dollar, and US Treasury yields are all pressuring liquidity, and the first to be drained are risk assets like BTC and ETH.
The market is honest too. BTC has slid to 80,500, with the 80,000 level just a thin barrier; ETH is weaker at 2,360, unable to reclaim the 2,400 level, with support at 2,336 and 2,306 holding long positions, and 1.26 billion still stacked at 2,253. Coupled with ETF outflows and deleveraging, this is not a technical correction but macro pressure.
As long as oil prices don't turn down, crypto's ceiling won't lift. I won't bet on a rebound before the FOMC; if 80,000 breaks, the downside is truly empty.

#中东原油供应风险再起，油价持续走强
#BTC现货ETF资金反复，市场买盘能否企稳？ I judge that this news will weaken confidence in the liquid staking sector, going against the market's expectations for stable redemption. Swell has suspended deposits and withdrawals of swETH and rswETH, to be resumed after correcting the net asset value (NAV) and redemption rate; the contract rate is abnormally higher than the market price, and the resumption time has not been announced. The project team states that user funds are safe.
I have three principles for trend analysis. First, look at what supports confidence. In this case, the deviation between the contract rate and market price will make users reconsider the reliability of redemption. I am more concerned about how the deviation will be corrected; simply saying funds are safe is not enough to judge whether sentiment can be stabilized.
Second, check if exit is smooth. Suspending deposits and withdrawals directly affects the flexibility of related holders to manage their funds. If the suspension continues, I speculate that cautious sentiment will increase, but this alone does not mean the entire sector has problems.
Third, wait for verification and do not rush to catch turning points. I will watch the correction results, whether deposits and withdrawals resume, and observe if the price and rate deviation converges. These are more substantial than guessing the resumption date.
Trends are the best friend; my attitude is to wait for the repair to be verified first. What methods do you currently use to judge the trend of such assets—looking at market discounts, deposit/withdrawal status, or changes in redemption rates? SUI looks a bit rough today 😮💨
Since 10/21 at 1.06, it has been grinding down, and this morning at 6 AM there was a sharp drop to 0.9387, now back at 0.943 trying to test this support again. It has dropped about 5% in 24h, contract volume ranks among the top in altcoins, there is interest, but the direction has been consistently downward.
A few points I’m watching:
1) Hourly highs are getting lower: 0.9687 → 0.9661 → 0.9609 → 0.9507, rebounds are getting weaker
2) 0.952-0.956 was the platform just broken this afternoon, now turned into resistance above
3) Open interest has been slowly decreasing over the past few hours, funding rate is flat at 0.01%, indicating longs are exiting, not shorts crowding in
My plan:
Direction: short on rebound
Entry: 0.952-0.956
Stop loss: 0.969 (if it closes back above the morning high, structure is broken)
Targets: 0.930 / 0.915
If it breaks 0.938 with volume and doesn’t rebound, I won’t chase, will wait for a rebound break of the line. If the hourly candle closes back above 0.969, I’ll admit the trade was wrong and exit.
Do you think the 0.94 support can still hold?

#SUI #ContractStrategy #Altcoins
Just my personal view, not investment advice, DYORSwitzerland has approved the first spot Bitcoin ETF aimed at retail investors. What does this mean for BTC? First, the news. Key points: Swiss regulators have approved the first spot Bitcoin ETF for retail investors, allowing European investors to allocate BTC through a locally compliant product for the first time. Current market: BTC at $81,441.4 (24h -0.29%, past week +0.11%); ETF net inflows for the sixth consecutive day (+$29.5 million), 5-day +$206.1 million, 10-day +$35.2 million; Fear & Greed Index at 50; USD 101.60, Gold 4,029.4 (-2.91%), S&P 500 7,663.43 (-0.64%). Next, the capital impact. US ETF funds have just turned positive, and the European retail channel has opened—forming a relay between the two regions. The European market is characterized by a high proportion of institutional allocation, strong acceptance of compliant products, and a preference for longer-term capital. Therefore, the significance of the Swiss ETF lies not in short-term scale but in the long-term effect of "channel expansion." Implications for BTC: This is a structural positive, not a short-term catalyst. Its impact will be reflected in capital flows over the coming quarters. Short-term price is still determined by current sentiment (50) and capital (six consecutive days of inflows), but in the medium term, the entry of European funds will solidify BTC's capital base. I will be watching four indicators next: first, the fundraising scale of the Swiss ETF; second, follow-up from other European countries; third, whether US ETF inflows can continue;The anticipated upgrade for $ETH fell through, and the Glamsterdam testnet scheduled for the 26th was canceled, along with the bulls' hopes.
So now $ETH is the weakest, hovering near the monthly low around 2317, without even a decent rebound to reclaim MA7 (2416). Most likely, it will continue to consolidate; RSI at 34.9 is weak, so it depends on whether the final defense at the monthly low can hold.
But on the other hand, even if it does launch, it may not be a short-term positive. Like $SOL, after the Alpenglow mainnet went live, the coin price still fell. In this round of the market, technology is not the problem; money is.
$SOL is now very close to the 30-day bottom price of 100.42, with a 30-day range position of only 6.5%, a 14-day drop of 7.67%, and RSI 35.0 also weak. Most likely, it will continue to oscillate around 100 to build a bottom.
In contrast, $BTC has no technical upgrades and is even criticized for not being quantum-resistant, yet when Wall Street funds came in a couple of days ago, it still rose.
$BTC is now consolidating most steadily, clearly waiting to choose a direction. RSI is 42.2, and the three moving averages MA7 82,100 / MA20 82,600 / MA30 83,200 are all pressing overhead. Currently, it is weakly consolidating above 80,000, with a daily amplitude of only 1.9%.#SKhynixQ3HBM4Earnings

What do you think, will Samsung catch up?
> Not financial advice - personal analysis. $ETH The upgrade speed is really not slow, but I just don't know when the users and funds will also be upgraded.
Glamsterdam has been delayed again. It was originally scheduled to launch on the Hoodi testnet on October 26, but developers found that the Gas billing changes in EIP-8037 might affect the existing smart contracts deployed on the mainnet, posing security risks, so they had to hit the pause button. The new date has not been set yet.
Safety first, this choice is understandable. But after seeing this many times, a question arises: Ethereum's technology iteration has never stopped over the years, from the Shanghai upgrade, Cancun, to now the Glamsterdam scaling solution, the protocol layer has been continuously refined. However, no matter how much the protocol upgrades or technology improves, the growth of users and the attraction of on-chain funds have never kept pace.
Many funds now prefer to go to new public chains, Meme tracks, and AI Agent ecosystems to gamble on flexibility. Ethereum's current awkward point is this: the underlying technology narrative has already been fully priced in. Pure L1 scaling and Gas optimization can hardly ignite market sentiment anymore.
No matter how good the technology is, if no one is willing to come in to play and incremental funds do not enter, the coin price will hardly develop an independent trend. Ultimately, what the market wants now is not another protocol upgrade, but a new story that can excite capital again and make it willing to continuously lock in funds.
#Strategy财报前瞻：BTC账面收益大幅反弹 This piece of information clearly goes against the bullish trend. The current market sentiment is cooling down, and it is not just an isolated pullback of a single coin. Data shows that as of 17:00 Beijing time, among Hyperliquid perpetual contracts with a 24-hour trading volume exceeding $20 million, there are no contracts with price increases; WLD fell 14.69% to $0.4678, kPEPE dropped 10.50% to $0.004379, LIT declined 10.02% to $3.08, and BTC and ETH also fell by 1.39% and 1.67%, respectively.
I follow three principles when trading trends, which align well with this situation:
First, look at the overall picture and don’t get misled by individual rebounds. The mainstream assets and high-volume contracts are generally weakening, indicating that the pressure is more like a sector-wide sentiment contraction. The odds of short-term rebound chasing may not be favorable.
Second, observe strength and weakness without guessing the bottom. The widening decline of WLD shows that capital is more cautious about highly volatile assets; if weak assets continue to underperform, their drag on market confidence will become more apparent.
Third, wait for confirmation and don’t fight the trend. The absence of any rising contracts at least indicates that buyers have not yet formed a united front. The trend is the best friend; before the market provides evidence of strengthening, I focus more on whether the structure is repairing rather than rushing to explain every drop.
This news has a bearish impact on sentiment, especially suppressing risk appetite for altcoins and high-leverage contracts. What methods are you currently using to judge the trend—looking at moving averages, trading volume, or strength rankings?$ORDER rose from 0.0316 to 0.078 in 24 hours, +146%. But what really matters is not the increase, but the depth.
OKX only has $ORDER perpetual contracts with 20x leverage, no spot market. At 16:00 and 17:00, two 1H candles traded $21.59 million and $23.7 million respectively, while the top 20 order book levels only had $11,000, and the top 100 levels had $139,000. The trading volume is 2000 times the depth of the top 20 levels — this is not just orders placed, but large orders being eaten through.
Open interest expanded simultaneously: at 15:00 it was only $160,000, now $2.8 million, a 17-fold increase.
Perpetual contracts are actually 5% cheaper than the whole market: OKX index is 0.0824, while 9 other platforms on CoinGecko are above 0.082, but OKX perpetual is only 0.078. The funding rate is even stranger: it has been +0.005% baseline, but tonight at 20:00 the estimated rate is -0.806%, meaning shorts are paying longs.
The main volume is in South Korea: Upbit KRW market traded 83.8 billion KRW (about $63 million) in 24 hours, up 148.9%. Circulating supply is only 412 million, total supply 1 billion.
Your turn: will you chase this bullish candle on the 20x perpetual with $11,000 depth, or wait for a pullback?
