FOMC approaching, expectations unchanged, PMI raises inflation concerns, probability of "pause in rate hikes" declines; funds focus on mouth-shaped pattern and December space. Three pieces of intelligence on the eve of the exam: Binance perpetual BTC 81000 contract with $8.54 million buy orders, 0.01% from current price, buy volume 53.7769 million vs sell volume 43.59 million, surplus over ten million; old giant whale holding 200,000 ETH at an average price of $80.97, transferred about 1,000 ETH worth approximately $2.4 million to Kraken 7 hours ago, cashing out in batches at high levels; Franklin Templeton added about $150 million money market fund to XRPL, sgBENJI increased from 48 million to 193 million, consolidated into a single wallet. The current core conflict for BTC is the tug-of-war between the $87,700 unlocking sell pressure and the $80,000–81,500 ETF cost support. Around $87,700, there is a dense resistance zone formed by the average cost of holders over 6–12 months, the year's opening price at $87,490, and the 20-month moving average at $87,165. Below, $81,500 is the average holding cost for spot ETFs, combined with order book buy orders, forming a key defensive line; if broken, $77,855 is the next liquidation danger zone.
ETH is constrained by a net outflow of about $1.06 billion from ETFs in October, with rebounds repeatedly blocked between $2,445–2,500. The $2,410 level is an important defense; breaking below it may accelerate a drop to the $2,351–2,355 support range. However, short-term divergence signals have appeared: both ETH spot and futures have recorded net inflows, showing more resilience than BTC, though not enough yet to confirm a reversal.
In terms of strategy, BTC can be lightly long near the $80,000–81,500 support band, with a stop loss set below $79,800; reduce positions proactively when rebounding to the $87,000–87,700 resistance zone, and avoid chasing highs.
For ETH, focus on the effectiveness of the $2,351–2,355 support; if stabilized, short-term participation is possible with a target of $2,445–2,500; if it breaks below $2,410, exit and wait. On the macro side, uncertainty has been temporarily removed after the September rate hike, but expectations for sustained high interest rates remain. Overall, positions should remain flexible to avoid heavy directional bets.#亚马逊AWS增长提速，Q3能否延续？
Amazon CEO Andy Jassy stated that due to the growing demand for AI infrastructure, Amazon Web Services' cloud computing capacity is basically sold out through the end of 2027, with a large number of orders already scheduled into 2028.
Amazon $AMZN has long been more than just an online shopping platform; it is a comprehensive technology company combining e-commerce, cloud computing, advertising, and artificial intelligence.
The company's main revenue streams include e-commerce retail delivery services, cloud servers, AI computing power, advertising revenue, and membership subscriptions.
Among these, AWS is the most noteworthy profit engine. In Q2 2026, AWS revenue reached $42.2 billion, a year-over-year increase of 37%; operating profit reached $16.6 billion, accounting for about 61% of Amazon's total operating profit for the same period. Meanwhile, advertising business grew 26% year-over-year.
What data supports my Yes?
AWS revenue grew 37% year-over-year in Q2, marking the fastest growth rate in the past 18 quarters.
If cloud computing growth continues to accelerate while operating profit margins remain stable, it would be a significant positive signal in the earnings report.
The company guidance is $22.5 billion to $26.5 billion, while TD Cowen analysts forecast $27.6 billion, exceeding the company's upper guidance limit.
Amazon's net profit in Q2 reached $62.6 billion, but this includes $53.4 billion in pre-tax non-operating other income mainly from the Anthropic investment.📉 Gold and $BTC are falling hand in hand, honestly, in all my years of watching the market, I’ve rarely seen this scene.
In the Middle East, an oil tanker had an incident in the Strait of Hormuz, pushing Brent crude directly to $116. According to the old script, war means buying gold and $BTC, right? But what happened? Gold broke below 4000, $BTC smashed through 80800, and both “safe-haven assets” were ground down together. The logic has completely changed—oil price surges → inflation expectations explode → rate hikes firmly suppress everything that doesn’t yield interest. CME’s probability of a 25bp rate hike in December has already hit 74.8%. Gold is no longer a safe-haven asset; it’s a liquidity ATM. On the US stock AI side, margin calls are added, and the first thing funds do is sell gold for cash. $BTC is even more painful, with its correlation to Nasdaq hitting 0.96; when Nasdaq sneezes, it goes straight to ICU. The so-called “digital gold” narrative is not recognized at all under this pricing framework.
$BTC is now stuck around 80800, looking like support but actually dancing on a knife’s edge. ETF net outflows in October have already reached 615 million, with IBIT and FBTC as the main bleeding points. More critically, the average cost line for ETF holders is around 81500-82300, and the current price has slightly broken below that. What does this mean? No need for me to say—it means further declines will trigger unrealized losses turning into redemptions, and redemptions turning into sell-offs in a chain reaction. The 81000-80800 zone is the last decent defensive line; if it breaks, the psychological 80000 level won’t hold for even a few seconds.
$ETH at 2377 is weak enough to be pitiful. 900 million left in 3 days, shorts hold 1.24 billion in positions. With this lineup, 2327 should have been broken long ago, but the price is stuck at 2377. This isn’t strength; it’s shorts piled so thick they’ve trapped themselves in a position that could be squeezed at any moment. Above, between 2415-2427, lies a large short liquidation zone; once volume surges and it touches that, the shorts’ own positions become the best fuel. But the problem is, the capital support is indeed mediocre; $ETH lacks the confidence to strengthen independently. What it can do now is just “not die,” not “counterattack.”
$ZEC is the only thing on today’s market that made me stop and take a closer look. Price at 1167, down about 4.5% in 24 hours, sinking with the broader market. But something is supporting it underneath. ZCSH’s ETF cumulative net inflow has reached $154 million, with institutional buying ongoing. More eye-catching, two whales opened nearly 30,000 $ZEC 10x long positions within 15 hours, worth $37.57 million, directly locking the upper space. While everyone else is indiscriminately selling, someone is drawing a line with real money. This doesn’t mean $ZEC won’t fall, but it shows one thing: in panic, funds aren’t running blindly; they’re picking spots to hold. Defensive assets with independent narratives, ETF channels, and whale support have a completely different fate in liquidity squeezes than those altcoins propped up purely by sentiment.
The FOMC on October 27-28 is now priced with over 90% probability of no move in October, but the December rate hike sword still hangs. Until oil price direction is clear and ETF flows turn positive again, any bottom fishing is essentially betting on a variable you can’t control. Weak altcoin rebounds are for you to sell, not to buy in. What you really need to watch are the directions where someone is still willing to draw lines with real money amid panic. $ZEC’s capital support doesn’t mean it will soar tomorrow, but at least it tells you where the main defensive coordinates are.
Don’t rush to be a hero. In this market, surviving is more important than bottom fishing.

Rising oil can reignite inflation, push Treasury yields higher, and tighten financial conditions—creating headwinds for risk assets.
With Brent closing at $116.72 and the U.S. 10-year yield near 5%, the key risk is prolonged inflation, not oil alone.
Bullish shift: Oil cools, yields stabilize.
Bearish shift: Supply fears intensify, yields climb
Watch Brent, Treasury yields, and BTC’s reaction. Macro pressure is real, but a crypto sell-off isn’t guaranteed
$BZ $CL $ONDO
Tokenized financial assets are an important real-world asset narrative, but the quality of adoption matters more than the headline market size. Ondo’s opportunity depends on bringing traditional financial exposure on-chain while navigating eligibility restrictions, custody arrangements, and regulatory requirements. Investors should distinguish growth in tokenized products from direct demand for ONDO itself; the two are related only where the token has a meaningful economic role. #10月FOMC临近，美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数？
The market currently widely expects the Federal Reserve to pause rate hikes in October, but a pause does not mean a shift to easing policy. The real risk of this meeting lies in the post-meeting statements.
U.S. inflation remains sticky, combined with potential upward pressure from rising oil prices, which is the biggest uncertainty. Even if rates remain unchanged this time, as long as the speech keeps the option of continuing rate hikes in December, U.S. Treasury yields are likely to rebound, continuously suppressing risk assets such as stocks and cryptocurrencies. FOMC members have divergent views; voting differences and subtle wording adjustments may create expectation gaps.
Many funds are preemptively betting on a “pause in rate hikes” rally, which can easily lead to buying the expectation and selling the fact. Short-term market volatility will be significantly amplified, so avoid heavy positions betting on a single direction. Focus closely on the meeting statement and press conference language, patiently wait for the shoe to drop, and then judge the subsequent trend.
$BTC $ETH Don't get itchy over the weekend. $BTC at 80,000 — if it holds, it's a shakeout; if it doesn't, it's the fuse.
Just finished watching the market, let me share some heartfelt thoughts.
$BTC is hovering around 81,000 now. Many only see "1,000 dollars away from 80,000," but what really weighs on the market isn't the price itself, it's the standoff between sentiment and chips.
Glassnode puts it bluntly: 80,000–81,500 is the average cost zone for ETFs and listed coin-holding companies, and Binance's largest spot buy wall is also stacked here. In other words, this line isn't technical support, it's a "break-even line" for a group of institutions. If it holds, they still have patience to wait; if the daily candle closes below, ETF holders collectively turn to losses, and the real market average of 77,600 is the next stop.
Above? There are dense sell orders at 86,500–87,500, and short liquidations cluster between 85,000–87,000. The short fuel is indeed thick, but no matter how much fuel there is, the match to ignite it is in the hands of macro factors, not the candlestick chart.
$ETH is even more frustrating. At 2,380, the rebound is as soft as if it hasn't eaten. The 2,300–2,350 range has been hammered repeatedly several times: on October 15 at 2,313, on the 18th at 2,325. Buyers have held each time, but after holding, it can't bounce up. This is not "strong support," it's a repeatedly tested defense line; the more tests, the higher the chance of breaking. Once 2,350 is lost, below 2,300 lies 2,200 or even 2,025 waiting. $ETH's weakness isn't its own problem; it's the thinnest liquidity period, and it is always the first to be drained.
Now about the news, this is the most twisted part.
Many are still waiting for "rate cuts to save the market," but September CPI year-on-year at 3.7% and PPI month-on-month at 1.3% have directly shattered the rate cut narrative. The 10-year US Treasury yield is stuck stubbornly above 5.1%, and oil prices are still high and fueling the fire. QCP Capital puts it cautiously: if deleveraging in the stock market spreads, the 80,000 support will be "tested." To translate — it's not impossible to break, but if it breaks, don't be surprised.
The ETF side is even more interesting. October has seen a cumulative outflow of 535 million, with 485 million running out in a single day on October 7, but total weekly trading volume exceeded 7.5 billion. This is not "institutions clearing out and running," but more like moving money to a more comfortable place under the squeeze of high interest rates and inflation. They haven't gone far, just waiting for leverage to die first.
And leverage has indeed died in large part. 1.3 billion liquidated across the market in 24 hours, longs account for 90%, 167,000 people forcibly liquidated, and funding rates have turned negative. This means the most fragile batch of longs has been taken out. With negative funding rates, shorts are getting crowded; once the price stabilizes, short covering is ready-made rebound fuel — but note, fuel and ignition are two different things. Until the Fed's card on October 28 lands, anyone trying to ignite it might get burned.
Weekend liquidity is as thin as paper; a not too big or small order can draw wicks of several hundred dollars up and down. At times like this, the most expensive thing isn't position size, it's patience.
I'm only watching two things now: whether $BTC can close back above 80,000 on the daily chart, and whether $ETH holds 2,350 for the fourth time or finally leaks. If it leaks, don't catch the fall; if it holds, don't chase. Wait for volume, wait for signals, wait for that confirmed candlestick. Principal intact means the table is still there.
Do you think 80,000 will break this week? Let's chat in the comments, I'll read them one by one.👇
#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 Latest news, a few key points to clarify for you. Crypto fund flows This week, the US spot $BTC ETF saw a net inflow of $301.2 million, with BlackRock's IBIT alone bringing in $565.7 million — Commentary: Funds are concentrating on top products, while FBTC and ARKB are seeing outflows, indicating selective buying rather than a blind broad rally. This week, the $BTC spot ETF had a net inflow of 5,183 $BTC, with cumulative inflows turning positive in 2026, totaling a net inflow of 10,784 $BTC this year — Commentary: The scale is still not large, but the directional reversal is a signal; we need to see if it can sustain. Crypto security and AI Iranian officials warned that if the US or Israel acts again, they plan to target Gulf submarine communication cables and prevent repairs; previously, the Revolutionary Guard also threatened the seven main internet cables under the Strait of Hormuz — Commentary: Gulf cloud computing and AI computing power expansion fear this the most; cables are the lifeline, and geopolitical risks will directly translate into computing cost increases. Macro policy The market expects the Federal Reserve to keep rates unchanged next Wednesday, with only about a 10% chance of a 25 basis point hike in October; some officials prefer to pause to assess inflation and the impact of Middle East conflicts on energy prices. Waller's speech next week is a focus — Commentary: Rate hike expectations are cooling, but don't take "no hike" as a bullish certainty; energy prices remain a variable.

The day before yesterday, I went all in on Tesla and opened a 50x long on NVDA hoping for a quick profit, but unexpectedly it went to zero.
Just now, I received a random basic subsidy from the points gas station, 60xp, and after completing daily tasks, I got another hundred points.
I happened to see Robinhood's latest forecast and decided to study it briefly.
I think this quarter Robinhood has a high probability of exceeding expectations.
The volume for September options, stocks, crypto, and event contracts is strong, and tracking data is generally robust. With volume, trading-related revenue is supported; Gold subscriber growth provides relatively stable subscription income, and the fee guidance reduction is also beneficial for profit margins. The company has exceeded expectations multiple times in recent quarters, especially last quarter. One-time factors can't be directly applied, but there may still be room for expectation management.
Robinhood Chain has recently connected cross-chain and supplemented the execution layer, making quite a bit of noise, but for this quarter's financial report, it's just background noise. Infrastructure progress is unlikely to immediately become a decisive figure in the Q3 profit statement; this quarter mainly relies on brokerage business, trading income, and interest income.
The risks are also clear. Net inflows in July and August were weak; if platform assets and interest income don't keep up, even a slight EPS beat may not look good in quality. Crypto is still weak year-over-year, and if fees continue to be pressured, strong volume doesn't necessarily mean significantly higher revenue. Especially since consensus has already been raised, barely passing and obvious beats may lead to very different market reactions.Has $SNDK been shorted all the way down to 1300? Recently, SanDisk's trend is the weakest among the storage trio, while Hynix and Micron are still quite resilient.
SanDisk falling behind isn't due to a fundamental collapse, but because the "long-term contract price lock" has blocked the price increase benefits. Coupled with weak NAND spot prices and profit-taking sell-offs, it has become the softest target in the sector.
Don't rush to bottom-fish! If the earnings report on the 29th brings another guidance shock, the $1200 barrier might really not hold. Folks, do you think this is a golden pit or a bottomless hole? $BTC $ETH
#10月FOMC临近，美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数？ Title: People who unplug at 30% battery always think they can still use it for five more minutes. Which coin's “30%” is the most deceptive?
Watching the market all night, the more I look, the more this market feels like my old broken phone—clearly showing 30% in the top right corner, and you think, “Okay, just ten more minutes,” but the next second it blacks out, not even giving you a low battery warning.
I cast my vote for $BTC.
81,600, RSI 47, 50-day EMA at 80,878 right underfoot. Looking at these numbers alone, anyone would say, “It’s holding, there’s support.” But think carefully, what does RSI 47 really mean? It’s not “neutral to strong,” it means buyers have quietly slipped out the back door, leaving a few stragglers smoking at the entrance pretending the crowd is still there. Glassnode made it clear this week: $BTC is trapped in an 80,000 to 87,000 range, 82,200 has flipped from support to resistance, weekly close below confirms a bearish retest setup. Whales are accumulating, true, addresses holding 1,000 to 10,000 BTC have shifted from net distribution to net accumulation, but spot demand indicators have turned negative, Coinbase premium is -0.14%, US spot buyers are simply not stepping in. Whales are buying, retail is waiting, ETFs are running—October $BTC ETFs saw a net outflow of 535 million, this isn’t “still holding,” it’s a battery leaking power, and you’re still staring at the percentage.
$ETH is even more typical. 2,405, MACD histogram almost hugging zero, two lines stuck at -46, the downtrend is “paused.” Paused, not reversed. The Glamsterdam upgrade was scheduled for October 26 on the Hoodi testnet but was halted by ChainSecurity due to EIP-8037/8038 potentially breaking at least 13 real contracts, putting the mainnet window in early December in doubt. You waited three months for this, and it got delayed. But interestingly, on the other side: $ETH staking surged to 43.8 million coins, 35.9% of circulating supply, BitMine alone locked 6.04 million, 84% staked. ETFs are selling, corporate treasuries are buying, buying and locking up without selling. The battery is still red, but someone is secretly swapping cells where you can’t see. The question is, can the recharge speed keep up with the leak? October $ETH ETFs saw outflows of 1.06 billion, equivalent to selling pressure of 435,000 $ETH, while BitMine only bought 57,500 in four weeks. Tell me, can this battery recharge?
$SOL 104, the most honest one, and also the most brutally deceptive. 4-hour and 1-hour RSI both hovering around 40, MACD bearish for 22 days, down 12.51% in 30 days. It doesn’t give you the illusion of “still holding,” it gives you a dull knife cutting 1% every day. The Alpenglow upgrade went live on mainnet, confirmed latency squeezed to 150 milliseconds, sounds impressive, but price softened at 109, 105 became the last fig leaf. The daily head and shoulders neckline presses at 100; break it, next stop 80. On-chain? RWA dropped from 700 million to 4.4 billion, 1.4 million tokenized stock addresses are active, BlackRock and State Street are issuing. The story is real, growth is real, but between the story and $SOL token price lies a market pricing gap pretending not to see. On-chain activity is on-chain, your position is your position.
So back to the question: which coin’s 30% is the most deceptive?
$BTC deceives with the words “there’s support.” The 80,878 EMA is like a lifeline, but when you reach for it, you find it’s connected to a triple vacuum of negative spot demand, ETF bleeding, and 82,200 resistance.
$ETH deceives with “the drop has stopped.” The drop stopped because coins are locked up, not because buyers are rushing in. Locked coins won’t carry you up at 2400.
$SOL deceives most honestly because it’s too lazy to even lie. It drops a little every day, making you think “it’ll rebound tomorrow,” then drops a little more tomorrow.
$BTC $ETH $SOL — is the battery indicator on your coin still accurate? See you in the comments, let’s see who’s still stubbornly holding at 30%.

"Spot Gold Falls Below $4000 Threshold, Institutions Cut Positions to Raise Cash"
Spot gold broke through the $4000 mark during the night session on October 23, with OKX spot-linked physical gold XAUT single-day trading volume surging to 20.66 million USDT.
The core reason for the sharp drop in safe-haven assets is that large funds, facing rising US Treasury yields and margin call pressures, have to sell their profitable gold holdings to raise cash and balance accounts.
Currently, the spot price is fluctuating around $3994.9. The focus now is on whether next week's Federal Reserve overnight reverse repurchase agreements and US Treasury yields can stabilize. $XAUT $BTC selling pressure may be approaching a critical turning point, with a potential second seller-exhaustion signal emerging. Buying alone doesn’t guarantee an immediate rally. The key question is how much selling pressure remains and whether sellers are running out of ammunition. Past bull markets suggest two stages: an initial exhaustion phase, followed by consolidation or further downside, and a second signal that may precede stronger upside momentum. This cycle looks different, as $BTC alrBTC at $80,700, do you still dare to buy the dip?
ETF institutions have a cost basis at 84k and are all trapped, the Federal Reserve plans to raise rates again in December, BTC has dropped from 126k to 80k, a 36% retracement—everyone is waiting for a rebound, but is the 80k buy wall really a bottom, or a trap dug by whale manipulators for retail investors?
Let's look at the surface first: 80k is holding, but the rebound is as weak as noodles.
Price is grinding back and forth between 80,650-80,800, down 1% in 24 hours, sliding down from 84k-85k, repeatedly testing 80k-80.5k. The candlesticks tell you: there is a buy wall at 80.4k, heavy selling pressure above at 81k-81.3k, RSI 38-45 neutral to weak, MACD negative, 4-hour structure bearish. In short: short-term weak consolidation, key support is being pressed hard.
But the real pain is off the charts.
First: ETF institutions cost 84k, now price is 80k, guess who is more anxious?
On October 22, the US spot Bitcoin ETF had a net outflow of $635 million in one day, one of the largest outflows that month. October overall turned negative.
More deadly is that the average cost basis of ETF holders is around 84k. Now at 80.7k, institutions are overall at a floating loss.
In plain terms:
You think you are buying the dip at 80k to get a bargain, but actually you are helping institutions with an 84k cost basis to unwind their positions.
Every rebound near 84k meets massive selling pressure from those trying to break even.
The three most expensive words in a bear market are not "zeroed out," but "buying the dip."
Institutions are not your allies; they are trapped holders.
They want to exit more than you do, just more gracefully.
Second: The Fed is not cutting rates but raising them, BTC has become an ATM.
September CPI year-over-year was 3.7%, higher than expected; PPI is elevated; Brent crude oil is over $110, inflation stickiness remains. The 10-year US Treasury yield is above 5.3%.
The Fed raised rates to 3.75%-4.00% in September, the October 27-28 meeting will likely hold steady, but the probability of a rate hike in December is over 70%.
"Higher for longer" is a death sentence with delayed execution for risk assets.
BTC's correlation with Nasdaq remains high; when AI tech stocks adjust, BTC trembles. When liquidity tightens, BTC is not "digital gold," it is a high-beta ATM.
Don't treat the halving narrative as a talisman. The macro environment in 2026 is BTC's real parent.
The halving happened almost two years ago; the supply narrative is long priced in. Now price is driven by ETF flows, interest rates, oil prices, and geopolitics.
You are still watching halving candlesticks; institutions are watching the Fed's dot plot.
Third: The 80k buy wall may be a bull trap, not a solid bottom.
Key technical levels are clear:
Immediate support: 80,400-80,500 (recent lows + psychological level)
If broken: 80,000 round number → 79,500-79,800
Resistance: 81,000-81,300 → 81,700-82,000 → 84k (ETF cost zone + strong resistance)
Liquidity shows a buy wall near 80k, but selling pressure above is obvious, rebound strength insufficient.
Multiple buy orders at 80.4k but never able to hold above 81.3k—this indicates the buying is defensive, not aggressive.
A true bottom is made by a volume-driven bullish candle, not by a buy wall.
If risk appetite continues to decline before the Fed meeting, breaking 80.4k leads to 79.5k or even 78k.
The 80k buy wall could instantly turn into a sell wall.
Bull vs. bear, judge for yourself:
On one side:
Multiple tests at 80.4k show buying, short-term oversold rebound demand
Long-term narrative intact: ETF cumulative net inflows still positive, corporate treasury accumulation, supply nearing cap
Fear & Greed Index at 50 neutral, not extreme panic
200-day moving average still provides long-term support below
On the other side:
ETF single-day outflow of $635 million, institutions cost 84k at floating loss, rebound triggers selling pressure
Fed December rate hike probability over 70%, liquidity tightening
CPI 3.7% above expectations, high oil prices, inflation stickiness
4-hour bearish bias, weak rebound, strong resistance at 84k
Key levels
Resistance above: 81,000-81,300 → 81,700-82,000 → 84,000 (life-or-death line)
Support below: 80,400-80,500 → 80,000 → 79,500-79,800
Trading strategy
Short-term (1-3 days):
If 80,400-80,500 holds with volume-driven bullish candle, lightly buy for rebound to 81,500-82,000, strict stop loss below 80,200.
If breaks 80,400 with volume, bearish view to 79,500-80,000, reduce or short near 81k. Position 5-10%, low leverage.
Mid-term (around Fed meeting):
Wait for October 27-28 results.
If unchanged + dovish statement → possible rebound to 82k-84k, but 84k is institution break-even zone, don't chase.
If hawkish → test 78k-79k. Only consider adding long after holding above 84k, otherwise it's just a rebound, not a reversal.
Long-term holders:
Ignore short-term volatility but don't add leverage during macro tightening.
Hold spot, keep cash ready, wait for 78k-79k or even lower to scale in.
BTC now is like before the 2022 FTX collapse—
Everyone thought "80k is a solid bottom," but there was a basement below.
Conversely, the most panic in 2022 was also the best long-term scaling zone.
The market won't pity you for losing money; it will only pump after you stop out.
$BTC $ETH $IRYS This morning someone said this was "position diversification," but the afternoon data overturned that: OKX has 26 liquidity trading pairs, only 3 are rising, 23 are falling, with a rise ratio of 12%. The $BTC trading share hasn't bounced back: it was 30.52% in the morning, now 30.68%, and the price is still hanging around 80,700. The money hasn't returned to the leader, nor stayed in small coins ($DOT -10.5%), it's disconnected at both ends. My stance: this is not thin weekend liquidity, but risk reduction before the FOMC (10/27-28). Two numbers to watch yourself: ① If BTC's share can't get back above 35%, consider the risk-off phase not over; ② If the average drop across the board breaks -10% (currently -9.63%), a broad decline means deepening. The above is my personal market observation, data as of today, not investment advice; crypto assets are highly volatile, please judge independently and bear your own risk (DYOR). In these days before the FOMC, are you pulling back to BTC and other stable assets, or holding on to bet on altcoin rebounds?
#欧意星球 #FOMC #CryptoMarket #FederalReserveThe data is real, and MRNA still dropped 26.5% intraday on Thursday. My first reaction was an overreaction.
Let's lay out the numbers first.
On Thursday, the full Phase 3 data of the personalized cancer vaccine from Moderna and Merck was leaked two days before the ESMO release. The intraday low was 180.80, closing at 202.63, down 17.6% for the day, with 50 million shares traded, two and a half times the usual volume.
The numbers are accurate: 1,137 melanoma patients with tumors completely removed, combined with Keytruda, showed a 42% reduction in risk of recurrence or death, and the two-year recurrence-free rate increased from 70% to 82.2%.
But the overall survival data is still missing.
I initially thought the leak was bad news, but after seeing the 42%, I changed my mind. On August 19, both companies announced that Phase 3 met endpoints, so the good news is old; the stock had already risen 20% from the low a week before the meeting, priced for a number even better than 42%. The leak was just an early reveal.
It passed, no surprises.
The drop was from positions waiting for surprises. Merck actually only fell 1.8%, it wasn’t priced for surprises.
I’m not buying. 200 is Friday’s close, a round number: I’ll wait for it to stabilize with lower volume (daily volume below 15 million shares) before considering; if it recovers to 245.81 without volume increase, I’ll admit I was wrong; if it breaks below 180.80, don’t reach out. I’ll wait until next Friday’s close.
That 42% number, do you see it as meeting expectations or disappointing?

#TradingVoice: Your experience deserves to be heardThe entire market is moving sideways, but the three platform tokens have quietly outperformed BTC; this is what defensive assets look like.
The old script for platform tokens: they resist declines when the market falls, but lag behind when the market rises.
$BNB 740, +1.4%~+2.3%, market cap 97.7 billion, intraday range 737–745, trading volume surged 28.5% in one day, the most active among the three.
$CRO 0.0557, -0.69%, market cap 2.83 billion, over 1.5 billion tokens burned cumulatively. It fell less, but looking at a year-long perspective, it still dropped over 90%.
$LEO 9.05, +0.94%, market cap 8.33 billion. The most resilient today, relying on profit buybacks, not new stories.
Platform tokens can help you lose less, but rarely help you earn more; they are parking lots, not engines—don’t stay parked too long and forget to move.$ETH structure is bearish, with 1-hour and 4-hour charts both trending down synchronously. In the past hour, selling pressure clearly dominates, with active trades mainly on the sell side. Key levels are directly presented: the upper resistance at 2387.85 is the Point of Control (POC) in the dense trading area, followed by 2415.5 above; the lower support wall is at 2332.45, which is also the lower boundary of the value area. Orders are executed without hesitation, market price at 2373.4 directly enters short positions, and the current price is just below the POC, a sufficient position. Stop loss at 2390.5, placed above the POC and the midline; if the price reclaims the dense cost area, this downward structure will be invalidated and the short logic will be void. The target is 2332.4, precisely hitting the support wall and the lower boundary of the value area, which is a natural position for bears to take profits, with a risk-reward ratio of about 2.4; long positions still account for about 68%, and the long liquidation fuel below is much greater than above, indicating a tendency for the price to be pulled downward. Risk note: the price may first sweep liquidity around 2387-2390 before falling back, with a short-term possibility of stop-loss hunting. A sudden strength in BTC driving an overall rebound could also disrupt the bearish momentum. #中东原油供应风险再起，油价持续走强 #BTC现货ETF重回流入，ETH资金持续流出 #SK海力士Q3财报在即，HBM4能否提振盈利？
Actually, there's no need to worry too much about Hynix's current numbers; Nvidia is fully utilizing 12-layer HBM3E, keeping the profit base very stable. What really determines whether the market can continue to rise is still the management's stance on HBM4.
After all, in the HBM4 era, the foundation is directly customized by TSMC, which, if successful, will widen the moat and strengthen pricing power, but the R&D and capital expenditures are also real cash outflows. Moreover, Samsung and Micron are constantly pressing from behind; if the HBM4 mass production pace falls short of expectations even slightly, the valuation will have to be discounted again.
In the short term, first ride this wave of earnings catalysts; the key is to watch the HBM4 mass production schedule and customer qualification progress in the earnings call—no rabbit, no shooting the hawk.
For this earnings season, is everyone holding firm or cashing out early?IRYS peaked at 0.32 then fell back to 0.08, I won’t chase this short squeeze market for now.
Noticed: OKX spot around 0.080, up about 182% in 24 hours from around 0.028, but down about 75% from the high of 0.32.
The 4-hour K candle at 0:00 Beijing time on 10/24 hit a high of 0.32 and closed at 0.111, a typical wick followed by a pullback.
CryptoVank cited: roughly surged from 0.025 to 0.296 (+1,078%), about 90% of the $63.5 million liquidations were shorts; heavy trading volume on Korean exchange Upbit.
No single official announcement as catalyst, more like a short squeeze on a thinly traded circulating supply; OKX perpetual open interest nominally about $6.86 million, funding rate nearly flat.
I think this is a short squeeze on extremely thin liquidity, not a fundamental repricing, the pullback will be faster than the rise.
With the October FOMC this weekend, this kind of altcoin spike is even less suitable for holding through.
First watch if it can hold and reclaim 0.10; if it breaks below 0.063 (around today’s Beijing open), this rebound attempt is invalidated, better to stay out.
Do you think there will be a second squeeze, or will the spike fade before the weekend?

#OctoberFOMCApproaching What variables remain with the Fed pausing rate hikes? #MiddleEastOilSupplyRisksResurface Oil prices continue to strengthen Xiaomi's stock price has recently been in a "sharp drop → rebound → decline again" volatile pattern, down about 30% since the beginning of the year, with a TTM P/E ratio compressed to 18 times. The core issue is not whether there is long-term value, but when the bottom of phone profits will be confirmed and whether car production capacity can accelerate.
The phone segment is heavily squeezed by storage costs: Q2 smartphone gross margin was only 8.5%, with institutions generally expecting profits to bottom out in Q3 and rebound in Q4. The automotive segment broke 40,000 deliveries for the first time in September, but the factory's full capacity is about 34,000 units/month. The annual target of 550,000 units was only 52% completed in the first nine months, with the actual final figure likely between 450,000 and 500,000.
There is significant institutional divergence: the average target price is HKD 34.7, but some see 38.7, while others only give 27.6. Fortunately, buybacks have exceeded HKD 8 billion this year, providing support at low levels.
In short: the valuation is not expensive, but before the financial report confirms the profit bottom, it is likely to remain in a wide range of volatility rather than a one-sided recovery.
$XIAOMI $HYPE social heat dropped 60% in a week, normally this kind of situation would have already crashed the price.
But $HYPE stubbornly stayed above $70, without even a decent pullback.
To be clear, those shouting slogans and those actually holding the spot are not the same group.
As the hype dies down, selling pressure disappears, and the controlling funds clearly lock the chips tightly.
This kind of high-level sideways movement is just not giving those who want to get off the bus a chance to buy back.

👇A strange phenomenon: this time, the liquidity drain triggered by the stock market decline seems to have hit gold the hardest, while Bitcoin barely dropped. According to the usual pricing logic, during a liquidity crisis, Bitcoin should be sold off more than gold.
The same story theme, but the market's pricing logic is completely opposite. This financial market is really unpredictable.
Looking at the sharp drop in gold these past two days, it all feels very strange and eerie.$DOS 看过DOS这根天针，才懂山寨庄家收割有多狠。

👇This is the situation with U.S. Treasury bonds. Usually, the narrative of a U.S. debt crisis is rampant, but when a real crisis occurs, comparing with other countries and other assets, U.S. Treasuries still prove to be the safest.
This round of declining U.S. Treasury yields clearly illustrates the point. If AI faces problems, buy U.S. Treasuries. If Europe faces problems, buy U.S. Treasuries.
In fact, this is all a result of peer comparison. Otherwise, if not buying U.S. Treasuries, would you buy European debt? Japanese debt? Or at best, Russian, Brazilian, or Indian debt? Are those reliable?
Even gold and Bitcoin, the so-called safe havens, don’t quite measure up. Their safe-haven quality shows as a price spike during crises, but in the long term, liquidity plays a much more decisive role.
The main problem with the renminbi is that you can’t earn renminbi easily, and secondly, there is limited supply of renminbi assets to the outside world. Domestic subscription for government bonds is several times oversubscribed, leaving no room for foreigners to buy.
Additionally, the financial market is not open enough. Holding renminbi and renminbi assets is definitely less convenient than holding U.S. dollars and dollar assets, with fewer options for converting between various assets. Our market still needs to strike a good balance between safety and openness.
Furthermore, even with more openness, the depth, breadth, and resilience of the stock market are still weaker than those of the U.S., which is a financial powerhouse. Ultimately, it comes down to the underlying assets: the MAG7 companies make money worldwide and are global monopolistic companies.
Of course, there is also the issue of interest rate differentials. No matter how many crisis narratives surround the dollar, a bit more interest can still convince investors.SanDisk’s $10.3B-$10.8B quarterly revenue guide makes the Oct. 29 report a useful read on whether AI data-center demand is broadening into storage spending. Rising NAND prices can lift revenue, but they also make the quality of growth harder to judge: investors will want evidence that profit gains can hold if pricing momentum cools.
#SanDiskQ1StorageGrowth In the futures market, a large short position with high floating profit usually indicates that the market has moved in line with the trader's judgment for a while, but this does not necessarily mean that the price will continue to fall afterward. Experienced traders, when seeing such news, first look at the positions and funding costs, then check if there are new supply and demand changes in the price. Focusing solely on how much others have earned can easily lead to mistaking the result for the cause.
According to Lookonchain monitoring this time, $HYPE has dropped about 22% from its previous high; the largest short address on-chain, 0xf02d, holds 715,334 HYPE short positions, valued at about $54.57 million, with a current floating profit of about $5.56 million, and has additionally earned about $620,000 through accumulated funding rates, totaling approximately $6.18 million.
My judgment is that the short-term bearish sentiment has indeed been amplified, but this news itself is more like a reminder of the position structure and is insufficient alone to prove that the price will continue to fall. In traditional futures, large short profits often attract profit-taking, and closing positions may bring reverse volatility; the difference in the crypto market is that on-chain addresses and funding rates are all transparent, making it easy for ordinary users to be emotionally influenced by "whale floating profits." If short concentration continues to rise, once the price reverses, the squeeze could come quickly.
What I care more about is whether shorts will continue to add positions afterward, and whether funding rates and position changes align. Are there friends who have also transitioned from traditional markets? How do you view this kind of large on-chain public positions in the crypto market compared to position reports in commodity futures? Which is more likely to influence sentiment?如果把这24小时当成一次小型重定价，那么BTC的疲软就不只是"跌了"，而是资金在重新投票。 你猜，为什么ETH能在同一时间被逆势接住？ 我盯着这组数看了一会儿：BTC期货净流出2亿美元、现货净流出1.31亿美元，合计3.31亿美元，三个资产里最弱；ETH期货流出约3400万，现货却净流入约4343万，合计小幅净流入942万；SOL期货流入976万、现货流出924万，合计几乎打平。表面是涨跌问题，底层更像衍生品仓位在拆杠杆，而现货端有人悄悄换座位。 先看偏多路径：ETH出现"期货减仓+现货承接"的组合，通常意味着杠杆泡沫被挤掉一部分，卖压不是来自现货恐慌，而是合约端主动降风险。这种结构如果延续，ETH的相对强度会先于价格体现，尤其当BTC的合约流出放缓，风险偏好可能从"防守大饼"切向"挑着买二饼"。SOL接近零净额也说明它暂时不是提款机，山寨情绪没有全面崩，只是没人愿意先举火把。 但风险信号也很清楚：BTC现货和期货同时净流出，代表这不是单一合约挤压，而是现货持有者也降低了敞口。这种情况下，任何反弹都容易变成空头回补而不是新资金进场，追高的持续性要打问号。ETH的现货流入绝对值还不算大，$ZEC
The ZEC NU7 upgrade is scheduled around November 5, at block height 3543405. I've marked this number on my calendar for several days. According to the usual pattern, there should be a rush before the upgrade, but instead, it has been steadily declining.
Actual data: OKX current price 1165, 24-hour high 1258, low 1158; Binance price 1164, down 4.5%. From 1258 to now, seven percent is gone.
Perpetual positions dropped just over 12% in 24 hours (according to coinotag), on OKX I counted about 108,000 coins, worth $126 million. Leverage is retreating—not a panic sell-off, but a gradual withdrawal.
A couple of days ago, ETFs were still seeing net inflows; money was coming in during the drop, I acknowledge that. But the money coming in is from monthly allocation funds, which can't push short-term moves.
On the actual day NU7 goes live, it will likely be another case of good news already priced in. I said last time that if 1100 doesn't hold, I accept it; now it's only about sixty dollars away from that, so that still stands.

This time, PURR has directly increased its stock buyback limit from $30 million to $100 million, with about $72 million remaining, and extended the deadline to October 2027. It still holds 38.8 million HYPE tokens, valued at approximately $2.96 billion according to disclosures.
PURR is buying back its own shares, not HYPE tokens. The company is betting on the Hyperliquid ecosystem and aims to reduce circulating shares through buybacks, potentially increasing the HYPE asset exposure per share. However, this limit is only an authorization; management can choose when to buy or not buy, so it cannot be considered that $100 million has already been invested.
The market's attitude is also worth pondering: PURR's stock price once dropped over 30% from the October high, and the company increasing buybacks indicates it wants to support the stock price under pressure. Holding a large amount of HYPE does not necessarily mean the stock is cheap; the stock price is also affected by dilution, operating costs, and market discounts on assets.
The key is to watch the actual buyback volume and whether the discount of PURR's stock relative to its net HYPE asset holdings narrows. If the buyback truly materializes and the asset exposure per share continues to increase, this move will be effective; just increasing the limit without spending money, no matter how loudly confidence is proclaimed, is only a paper gain.$XAU Trump raises the possibility of military action against Iran again! But what might truly impact BTC is not war, but inflation.
On October 23, Reuters reported that Trump stated the US might take military action against Iran again.
Core market conflict: With the midterm elections approaching, Trump needs low oil prices, but military escalation could push energy costs higher.
① Crude oil: Supply risk premium rises $BZ
Focus on the Strait of Hormuz. If shipping is obstructed, the short-term geopolitical premium could turn into an actual supply shock.
② Gold: A battle between safe haven demand and real interest rates
Escalation of conflict stimulates safe haven demand, but rising oil prices may increase inflation expectations and delay rate cuts, while rising real interest rates would suppress gold.
③ BTC: Beware of tightening liquidity
Rising oil prices → inflation pressure → delayed rate cut expectations → possible strengthening of the dollar and US Treasury yields.
Once this transmission chain forms, $BTC may face dual pressures of declining risk appetite and deleveraging.
④ Trump's political game
With the November 3 midterm elections approaching, sustained high oil prices could increase voters' cost of living pressure. There is a clear contradiction between military deterrence and controlling energy prices.
Key point: War news affects sentiment, energy prices affect inflation, inflation expectations affect liquidity, and liquidity is the key variable BTC needs to watch.
Do you think Trump's move this time is a prelude to military action or a bargaining chip?
#10月FOMC临近，美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数？ Calculating, BTC single-day inflow to exchanges is about 2.6 billion USD, which is the largest scale since April. This figure alone is enough to indicate that the chips available for trading, transferring, or cashing out in the market have suddenly increased significantly; combined with the last similar peak after which BTC prices topped within weeks, I would regard this as a bearish risk signal, but it cannot be directly equated to an immediate drop.
① 2.6 billion USD: The single-day inflow amount is very concentrated, indicating this is not ordinary transfers from scattered addresses, but at least reflects a group of holders moving chips to exchanges.
② Largest since April: This is not an isolated small fluctuation, but an extreme value covering a period of time. From another quantitative perspective, the potential selling pressure the market needs to digest is at a high level during this period.
③ Price topped weeks after the last similar scale: The historical correlation provides a warning, but it describes the result in the following weeks and does not mean this time will necessarily repeat. The data is more suitable to remind me to lower optimistic interpretations of short-term sentiment.
My judgment is that this news has a bearish bias on sentiment, especially making short-term funds pay more attention to whether the inflow continues to expand after it occurs. If subsequent inflows continue to increase, the pressure signal will be strengthened; if it is just a one-time peak, the impact may be overestimated. When looking at this kind of information, do you usually focus more on the exchange inflow amount, duration, or price reaction?$BTC
About $2.6 billion worth of BTC flowed into exchanges within a day, the largest amount since April. Some in the group are already calling it a sign of a dump, but I'll hold off on that conclusion for now.
The price I pulled: OKX current price 80765, 24-hour high 82060, low 80514; Binance low at 80461, both align, daily drop just over 1%. If it were really a dump, this drop is not enough to notice.
Perpetual fee rate is less than 0.05%, with 30,600 BTC positions, about $2.47 billion, no reduction seen. Leverage funds haven't fled, nor are they rushing to add.
At the same time, Bitdeer sold another 283 BTC this week, clearing their positions—miners are selling, ETFs are flowing out, yet exchanges still have $2.6 billion inflow. Sellers have plenty of reasons, but the price is stuck above 80500.
In previous rounds, I kept saying this is consolidation, not a crash, to the point of annoying myself. But it just won't crash, and I have no solution.
#10月FOMC临近，美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数？ Brothers, Goldman Sachs just dropped a very painful piece of news: last week institutions set a historic record with massive sell-offs of tech stocks.
Not long ago, the market strategy was simple: blindly go long on AI and ignore all other sectors. That strategy has now completely collapsed. Investors no longer buy into AI hype stories; they want real money and need to see whether the huge investments from these big companies can actually turn into real revenue.
Everyone says AI will pour $1.1 trillion in next year, but just burning money isn’t enough. Cloud providers must prove that their orders can be monetized and cash flow can improve. Plus, there are two practical problems ahead: a big power shortage next year that will choke computing expansion; and many cloud companies have high debt with borrowing costs rising.
An even bigger issue is the market’s current dilemma: on one hand, worries about insufficient computing power; on the other, fears that after frantic capacity expansion, there will be direct overcapacity. Coupled with huge AI investments and rising borrowing costs driven by fiscal deficits worldwide, the market is becoming more cautious and unwilling to blindly chase highs.
In short: the AI market has moved from a phase of speculation on expectations to a test period where performance returns are mandatory. Going forward, AI sector volatility will increase, the risk of hitting pitfalls is clearly rising, so don’t blindly rush in anymore. $SNDK $SKHYNIX $MU
#AI需求支撑存储市场，芯片股行情反复 #SK海力士Q3财报在即，HBM4能否提振盈利？
Q3 profit surge mainly relies on long-term contracts for HBM3E + price increases for regular DRAM, HBM4 is still in the early ramp-up phase, contributing limitedly to this quarter's profit, the real push will be seen later.
SK Hynix started mass shipments of HBM4 in Q2, but Q3 is still the expansion and ramp-up stage, shipment volume is not large yet. The main driver of this quarter's performance remains the high-margin HBM3E, combined with continuous price increases in server DRAM contracts and spot prices. Institutions generally expect Q3 revenue to approach 98–101 trillion KRW, with operating profit likely to reach 77–81 trillion KRW, a clear quarter-on-quarter increase.
$SKHYNIX
The value of HBM4 is not in this quarter but in the medium to long term. It corresponds to Nvidia's next-generation Rubin platform, with stronger performance, and most of the capacity has already been locked in long-term contracts by top customers, making it a high premium product. When Q4 and next year come, as HBM4's share increases, it will become the new profit driver. $SNDK
Risk points to watch: Samsung is also aggressively pushing HBM4, and after supply increases next year, the overall HBM premium may be compressed; additionally, if AI capital expenditure slows down, the pace of long-term contract orders will also be under pressure.
Therefore, the focus of this earnings report is not on how much money HBM4 made, but on the yield and Q4 capacity guidance given by management, which is the key to determining future valuation.🏖️ This afternoon, three things that are currently lukewarm

On October 23, HSBC's HSBC RedCoin (code RCHKD) launched on PayMe. HSBC's first stablecoin, holding a Hong Kong Monetary Authority issuer license, pegged 1:1 to the Hong Kong dollar.
A few numbers I find quite key:
PayMe has over 3.3 million users, and in the next few days, wallets can be opened directly in the app; users can transfer directly to friends and also pay at over 100,000 merchants; later, the HSBC HK App will also integrate it for subscribing to tokenized wealth management products.
Why I think this is bigger than it looks:
Previously, stablecoins were mostly played within the crypto circle, but now a central bank is directly embedding it into a payment app used daily by millions, bringing on-chain money this close to ordinary people's phones for the first time.
As for the market, don't expect it to pump prices in the short term; Bitcoin is still hovering just above 80,000 today, and ETFs are still seeing outflows. But in the long run, the more compliant stablecoins there are, the smoother the path for off-chain money to enter the market, and RWA and payment sectors will continue to benefit.
My view: Traditional banks entering the scene is not about stealing jobs but about "stamping" this industry. Will you use stablecoins issued by banks?

#stablecoin #HongKong #RWA隐私板块最容易看错的一点，是把反弹当成承接。真相是衍生品结构先热，现货未必跟上。 你看到的强势，究竟是新钱进场，还是杠杆在撑场面？ 我这两天盯 NEAR、WLD、ZEC 这三个隐私叙事标的，越看越觉得表面热闹和真实承接之间有一道缝。WLD 前几天弹了约 29%，区间大致 0.455 到 0.59，但近两日回落速度偏慢，今天最低只到 0.5138。这种"跌不动"很容易被读成强，可如果现在进场、止损要放到 0.45 下方，那个止损幅度我承受不了，所以跳过。 ZEC 更微妙。止损放在 1187 看起来划算，我也反复问自己交易逻辑有没有漏洞，结论是没大问题，但在这个位置我没有把握拿到更大的利润空间，于是选择不开仓。不是标的不好，是赔率不够让我安心。 真正让我动手的是 NEAR。区间 4.54 到 5.5，刚才最低接近 4.7，我在 15 分钟级别快速分批卖出建仓，仓位不大，形态已经出来，所以继续加了一点。目前成本 4.8，按区间测算只要成本低于 4.82 就还能接受，风险回报比相对舒服。 这里的第二层传导在于：隐私板块的反弹如果主要由衍生品推动，情绪会先于现货回暖，山寨的风险偏好也会被短暂点亮Same downward sound, diverging mindsets
In the past 24 hours, the market fell together, but sentiment took two different paths. BTC bullish sentiment dropped to only 0.82, falling into extreme fear territory; ETH rose to 2.05, heating up. One feels like waiting in an emergency room line, the other like grabbing the mic at a celebration party.
Liquidation data is even more straightforward: total network 498 million, longs 340 million; BTC longs 81.33 million, ETH longs 50.55 million. Bulls were all shaken out, but holders reacted differently: BTC holders are silent, ETH holders are still waiting for 3000, continuing to shout "hold on" in the group.
The rift comes from pricing logic. BTC is treated as a macro asset: no Fed rate cuts, ETF outflows, expectations cooling. ETH is treated as a narrative asset: staking, ETFs, Layer2, always making people believe "this time is different."
But the market doesn’t follow sentiment. BTC’s fear and ETH’s greed, at least one side will be wrong. Which side are you on? 1: ETH catches down, BTC true bottom; 2: BTC catches up, ETH leads.

Storage chip stocks previously experienced a significant pullback, mainly influenced by the following factors:
• Overall tech/AI sector valuation digestion and concerns about the interest rate environment.
• Doubts about the sustainability of AI capital expenditures.
• Supply tightness supports prices but also raises concerns about a cycle reversal after future capacity releases.
The rebound on October 23 was supported by multiple factors:
• The halt of Solidigm's IPO eased shareholder dilution concerns.
• A broader tech stock rally.
• Fundamentals still point to strong AI storage demand.
The current core market focus, as shown in the screenshot, is:
• Whether demand growth can sustainably translate into profit improvement (rather than relying solely on price increases).
• The pace of capital expenditures and future supply expectations.
• Repricing of valuations in a highly volatile environmentThe fundamentals of the storage industry remain strong in 2026. Demand for HBM, enterprise-grade SSDs, and high-capacity HDDs continues to be driven by AI training, inference, RAG, and model checkpoints.
Leading manufacturers like Micron, SK Hynix, and Samsung have their production capacity basically sold out through 2027, with long-term contracts locking in volume and price, and breach costs being extremely high. Hard drive manufacturers such as Seagate and Western Digital have also clearly stated that nearline storage supply is insufficient to meet demand, with some products already allocated through 2027. Data from institutions like TrendForce shows that although contract prices for traditional DRAM and NAND have retreated from the ultra-high month-on-month increases seen at the beginning of the year, they are still expected to rise 10%-20% quarter-on-quarter in Q4, with absolute increases remaining at historically high levels.
The market's concern that "price increase slowdown = cycle peak" is more a base effect and the apparent deceleration caused by long-term contract price ceilings, rather than a true weakening of demand. Hyperscale cloud providers and emerging GPU clouds are still expanding massively, with storage being one of the bottlenecks in AI infrastructure.
The market fluctuations mainly stem from valuation digestion and macro sentiment. After significant gains, storage stocks are highly sensitive to risks such as interest rates, the sustainability of AI capital expenditures, and competition from China, leading to amplified short-term volatility. However, as long as AI server shipments and data center construction do not experience systemic contraction,
what deserves more attention currently is: HBM iterating towards higher bandwidth and capacity, enterprise-grade NAND penetration in AI inference, and the cost advantages of hard drives in tiered hot and cold data storage. #AI需求支撑存储市场，芯片股行情反复 The current macro environment of the US stock market is indeed under the dual pressure cycle of high costs and high interest rates.
Trump's repeated statements between war and peace have created high uncertainty in geopolitical risks.
Brent crude oil standing at $116 directly pushes up inflation expectations and corporate operating costs.
Gold and US stocks are falling simultaneously, reflecting that the market is experiencing a liquidity squeeze.
At the same time, AI tech stocks are facing the combined test of performance realization and rising costs.
Next, do not blindly guess when this round of adjustment will end; focus on two variables: first, whether the Middle East situation substantially de-escalates leading to a drop in oil prices, and second, the earnings guidance of core AI companies.
Before the macro pressure is lifted, maintain a neutral to low position, watch more and act less. SpaceX's performance is very good, but the stock price does not necessarily move solely based on profits and merger rumors. When early shareholders can sell also depends on other factors.
The recent phased unlocking has allowed some previously restricted shares to enter the tradable range. Unlocking does not mean these holders will immediately sell all their shares, but the potential supply the market faces has indeed changed.
This is why I don't simply interpret the temporary pressure on the stock price as everyone rejecting the financial report. Some early investors, even if they remain optimistic about the company, may need to raise funds or adjust their portfolios.
Conversely, the buying interest brought by merger speculation may not last forever. If the official plan stalls, short-term trading funds may have much less patience than long-term shareholders.
Currently, this stock is influenced simultaneously by operational performance, trading expectations, and changes in share circulation. Explaining all price fluctuations by just one factor is overly simplistic.
I am interested in SpaceX's business progress but will consider the company's operations and market supply and demand separately. The former determines how much long-term value can be created, while the latter may significantly affect the price during certain periods.
Especially when the financial report has just been released and merger discussions are heated, people tend to feel that with so many good news, the stock price should rise. However, as more people become able to sell the stock, the market still needs time to find a new transaction price. This process is not necessarily comfortable.
#SpaceX业绩大增，与特斯拉合并能否推进？ Chip stocks have recently started to "fluctuate repeatedly" again, especially in the memory sector. On one hand, AI demand has almost sold out HBM, DRAM, and NAND; on the other hand, stock prices overreact to any negative news, a typical case of "strong fundamentals, weak sentiment."
After Micron's earnings report, the guidance was strong, with data center SSD revenue surging; SK Hynix and Samsung posted record profits; Seagate, Sandisk, and others also clearly face tight capacity. Long-term agreements have locked volume and prices tightly through 2027, theoretically providing high visibility. But the market just doesn't buy it—the slowdown in price increases quarter-over-quarter is interpreted as a cycle peak, and concerns about interest rates, financing costs, and the sustainability of AI spending have caused the sector to pull back sharply from highs, pushing valuations down to historically low ranges.
This kind of fluctuation is actually very common. Memory is a strong cyclical industry; the AI supercycle has extended the upward phase but also amplified expectation gaps. In the short term, prices are extremely sensitive to "slowing growth" and "when supply will balance." Once sentiment turns, capital withdraws quickly; conversely, once concerns ease, rebounds are fierce.
A more pragmatic trading view is: don't treat every pullback as a trend reversal, nor chase highs during emotional peaks. Focus on two signals—first, whether leading manufacturers have materially downgraded their order coverage for HBM and data center storage in 2027; second, whether cloud providers' capital expenditure guidance shows clear contraction. So far, neither has given a clear systemic weakening signal. #AI需求支撑存储市场，芯片股行情反复
