The most surreal thing isn't how much money was lost, but how the hacker spends the money. The issuer's freezing speed forced him to rush, and the on-chain payment didn't consider the price at all. This kind of forced buy order structure is more honest than candlestick charts.
$ETH has become the passive bag holder; the hacker's average on-chain purchase price for Ether is over 2,600, which is more than 300 dollars higher than the derivatives market, effectively giving the entire network a premium. So the reason ETH has been able to hold above 2,300 these past two days isn't because bulls are strong, but because someone is buying regardless of price. I won't add positions until 2,300 is firmly held; once it is, then we can talk about previous highs.
$UNI is the direct source of slippage; the shallow market depth was smashed by a large buyer, creating a several hundred dollar gap. Short-term funds will reassess the depth value of DEXs. I won't act while it consolidates with low volume above 7; if it breaks below the previous low, then we'll reconsider.
$HYPE's derivatives price became the true anchor in this event, and the depth has withstood the test. Now it hovers around 84, still underwater over thirty days. I hold my base position and will add more if it dips below 80.
I'll get in once forced buy orders appear; the cost is always much higher than anticipating them.$ZHIPU
1. AI commercialization won't happen that quickly, at least it will take another two years to get started. Currently, programming and digital twins have basically reached over 95% of the undergraduate level. I am currently applying it, but regarding this model, I feel that glm has a certain gap compared to deepseek. I personally spend about five to six thousand yuan worth of points each month.
2. Now 3D models and such are also gradually being conquered.
3. If this market pullback really turns bearish, it will definitely be a very long wave, lasting at least about three months of continuous decline, because the East is approaching the New Year, the West is entering holiday season, and institutions need to close their books.
4. Currently, the money of some of the bigger entrepreneurs in these institutions' public funds has not been redeemed. Once redeemed, there will be another downhill path to go, so whether the market turns bearish is very important.
5. Whether Bitcoin or Ethereum, I think the future is limited. Stocks have already started to be tokenized on-chain, so what expectations can we still have for them?
6. If I had to choose between Bitcoin and Ethereum, I would definitely choose Ethereum. The biggest problem with Bitcoin is what use it has. Another issue is that its wealth effect is declining. Previously, it might have said that holding it would multiply your investment several times over the past two years, but now its price is already over 70,000 USD, and its market cap is already 10 trillion. Even if the US cuts interest rates, the market prints money, currency is oversupplied, and the market is loose, I think its economic system at most will reach 150,000 USD. There is no longer the kind of wildly soaring market expectations as before.
$BTC $BTC remains in a pressure zone, but the market and capital flows are starting to tell different stories. The price is repeatedly tugging around 80,000, with upward surges lacking follow-through, and short-term bullish confidence is weak. The macro headwinds have not dissipated: expectations of interest rate hikes, high oil prices, AI drawing away risk appetite, and pre-election caution are making capital more inclined to wait.
The key divergence is that not all capital is withdrawing. ETFs still see sporadic net inflows, but the strength and sustainability are limited, providing no obvious price support; large fast money engaged in basis trading and macro speculation has clearly reduced positions and exited, leaving allocation-type capital to slowly take over. On-chain whales show signs of accumulation, indicating the current situation is more about short-term sentiment and leverage clearing rather than a unanimous institutional sell-off.
In practice, chasing rallies or panicking on dips during divergence phases is most to be avoided. Chasing longs can lead to being shaken out, and chasing shorts may be suddenly countered by inflows. Positions should be tightened, focusing on observing volume and ETF flow changes during key support tests, without rushing to bet on direction. Before macro events unfold, watch for genuine support at lows rather than just focusing on price moves. Waiting for capital divergence to converge before acting is more stable than guessing blindly. #BTC持续承压，资金与市场走势出现分歧 #苹果新CEO迎来iPhone18首份成绩单 $BEAT's funding rate rose from 0.0115% to 0.0125%, the price stood above 0.10121, up 3.0% in 24 hours — bulls are paying to hold positions rather than passively waiting for the wind. This detail is more worth watching than the price increase itself: when the cost of holding long positions remains positive and slightly rises continuously, it indicates buyers are willing to pay real money for positions, and market sentiment has shifted from probing to taking on risk. 🎧 Zooming out, asset performance in the same time window is uneven. $MU is at 913.05, up 1.6%, with a 20-day moving average around 902, the current price about 1.2% above it, crossing the 900 integer mark again and surpassing this mid-term reference line. This is not a simple recovery of an integer level but a critical move where the price structure switches from "following the moving average" to "leading the moving average." The gap is still narrow, so a more reasonable characterization is "reclaiming the range" rather than full acceleration — this is also where many people easily misread: mistaking a moving average recapture for trend confirmation, ignoring that confirmation requires time and volume coordination. $SLX provides a counterexample. At 0.04142, down 5.7% in 24 hours, with a 14-day ATR around 0.003554, equivalent to 8.6% of the quote. Within such a wide volatility range, daily decline and intraday oscillation must be read on the same scale; low-level reactions cannot be judged strong or weak by amplitude alone. I prefer to interpret it as a compensatory pullback within wide fluctuations; ATR measures volatility, not a future target price. This distinction determines whether you are shaken off by noise or seeThat 77,600 level last night really didn't hold.
The most heartbreaking part is, at 23:00 ISM came out at 55.5, better than expected, but BTC started dropping right from then, hitting a low of 76,660 at 8 AM. $BTC is now at 77,131.
I'm not watching the price, but the people: the long-short ratio rose from 2.28 last night to 2.73, and the fear and greed index is only 26. The more it falls, the more people try to bottom-fish; at times like this, I’m even more cautious about buying in.
$SOL daily RSI at 26.6 is already oversold; a bounce wouldn’t surprise me, but I won’t bet on it.
Today I’m staying out of the market, watching; I’ll wait until 77,600 is reclaimed before making a move. Below that, I’m watching the lower Bollinger Band at 76,228.

#加密行业协同守护资产安全 #BTC #MarketAnalysisElection day voting. BTC 77,114, ETH 2,258. Watched all morning, and it’s just this dead pattern.
The most frustrating thing in this line of work isn’t losing money. It’s when you calculate the position perfectly, but it doesn’t come; you step away, and it arrives. Last night I waited until 11:30, but the rebound line at 79,000 never appeared. This morning I woke up and saw 76,664 had already completed its move.
So close, but that’s exactly the point it missed.
I have zero desire to chase today’s rebound.
The volume isn’t right. The downtrend line at 10 PM last night had a volume of 1,090, the largest in three days. Today’s two rebound lines with volumes 501 and 405 add up to just over 900. When it’s dropping, someone really sells; when it’s rising, no one is buying.
I’ve seen this kind of rebound too many times. Two out of three times it’s just to get you on board. Once you’re on, it’s the peak.
Someone told me stop loss is admitting defeat. I’ve heard that for years and still find it quite meaningless.
Stop loss is a cost, like fees and spreads, money you have to pay in this business. Holding a losing position is what gets you out, not stop loss. If you don’t admit it once, twice, the third time your account is gone.
So before entering, I calculate one thing: where to exit if wrong. That number is fixed; only then do I discuss the direction.
ETH is even more annoying. From 2,237 to 2,263, seven candles squeezed into twenty-six dollars. EMA20 and EMA50 are stuck at 2,266, just 1.6 apart.
I usually don’t watch this kind of range. Watching makes my hands itchy, itching makes me enter, entering gets me hit from both sides.
If it holds above 2,266 and doesn’t break on the pullback, I go long. If it breaks below 2,237, I go short. I have plans for both directions, but this morning I didn’t place a single order.
None of the news in the past three days is light.
Binance was hacked for 6.3 billion USD, the largest single case in history. They have replenished 95%, withdrawals have resumed, but net outflow is still 3.6 billion.
Spot BTC ETF had an outflow of 643 million on Friday, the largest since June. The net inflow accumulated this year was more than 60% given back in one day. Ethereum had 156 million outflow the same day, 430 million for the week.
Behind these numbers, someone really cut losses at this position. The amount of drop isn’t the reason. It’s the sentiment speaking.
Adding another layer is interest rates. On October 28, the Fed maintained 3.75% to 4.00%, with over 70% expectation of a rate hike in December.
Regarding the election, the market is heavily betting. Kalshi shows Democrats at 92% for the House and 69% for the Senate.
With such heavy bets, the result actually doesn’t push prices up. What can really move prices is an unexpected Republican hold of the Senate.
What if the surprise comes? Halve the position, wait for the first hourly candle to close before moving. The market’s first reaction is often wrong; I want the second reaction.
This week also has non-farm payrolls and Apple earnings, so volatility is inevitable.
I’ve done all the calculations, set all the orders, and leave the rest to fate.
I don’t know where the market will go, nor do I need to. What I need to know is where to exit if wrong and how far I can hold if right. Once these two are set, the rise and fall are just processes.The contract source code has been verified, so why is further inspection still necessary?
Because source code verification does not equal a security audit, nor does it guarantee the contract is free of vulnerabilities.
What really needs to be verified includes:
* Compilation settings: Do the compiler version and related parameters match?
* Actual deployment: Does the published source code correspond to the currently running code?
* Contract permissions: Can administrators mint more tokens, pause, or upgrade?
* External dependencies: Are oracles and other contracts reliable?
* On-chain behavior: Are permission changes and upgrade records transparent?
If the project uses proxy contracts, you must also confirm the current implementation address, not just the proxy address users interact with.
Source code verification addresses "Does the code match?" while security audits address "Does the code have risks?" These two should not be confused.
#Web3Security #SmartContracts #OnChainAnalysis 【iPhone sales are booming, but Apple’s stock price has fallen: AI is actually eating into profits】
Apple $xAAPL's earnings report is not bad, even quite impressive. Q4 revenue reached $114.5 billion, up 12% year-over-year; iPhone revenue was $57.6 billion, up 17%; EPS hit $2.10. However, the stock price fell nearly 3% in after-hours trading. The market is now focusing not on sales volume but on profit margins.
Apple expects next quarter’s revenue to grow 7%–10%, potentially hitting a record high, but the gross margin guidance is only 45%–46%, lower than this quarter’s 47.9%. Rising prices of storage chips are the main pressure, and the cloud operation costs of Siri AI are also increasing. The hotter the AI industry gets, the greater the demand for storage chips in data centers, meaning consumer electronics manufacturers have to pay more for pricier components.
Another detail: about $0.05 of this quarter’s EPS comes from tariff refunds, and the service business growth guidance for next quarter is only 8%–9%. This means that although hardware growth is strong, profit growth is starting to face cost pressures.
I remain bullish on Apple in the long term, but in the short term, you can’t just tell the story with iPhone sales. The biggest test for Apple in the next phase is whether it can turn AI into a new source of revenue, rather than letting AI first become an increasingly expensive cost.
#苹果Q4营收超预期，下季度毛利率指引承压 Tether owns 150,000 bitcoins. I first consider the worst-case scenario: if $BTC suddenly crashes and triggers a redemption panic, the pressure could accumulate. This is just my speculation.
What concerns me more is the transmission of sentiment, not the ranking of coin holdings: asset volatility and concentrated redemptions are two risks, but you can't directly infer payment issues from coin holdings; the disclosed treasury bond reserves also need to be examined.
My risk control habit is to consolidate related exposures from the same issuer; dispersed wallets do not count as diversified risk. When encountering such news, how much stop loss do you generally set for a single transaction?Bought for 4 consecutive days, but gave it all back in one day, and even lost an extra 200 million. Those who took ETF inflows as a buy signal got a lesson last week.
The US Bitcoin ETF bought for 4 consecutive days from October 26 to 29, with a total net purchase of about $441 million. On October 30 alone, it net sold $643 million. The 4 days of buying were completely wiped out in one day, with an additional loss of about 200 million.
The sequence is also worth noting: on October 29, $BTC first dropped about 4%, and the next day the ETF made large sales. Price dropped first, money withdrew later.
At least this week, ETF money followed the price. ETF inflows are the shadow of the price, not the price floor.
Do you use ETF inflows and outflows as buy or sell signals?
Yes / No?? #交易之声：你的经验值得被听到 $SOL #With the US midterm elections approaching, which results are worth watching? The strategy perfectly played out📉
Morning plan: Short on rebound at 95.5–96.5 with stagnation, stop loss set above 96.8, first target 94.0–94.3, second target 93.2–93.5, hold with the trend if broken.
The price peaked at 96.21 before falling under pressure, dropping all the way to a low of 90.82, directly breaking through the second target, maximizing profits.
The major bearish structure remains unchanged; this rebound is just a minor correction in the downtrend. The rebound volume shrank throughout, with no new long capital entering, only passive pull-up from short position profit-taking.
Approaching the resonance resistance zone, with concentrated trapped positions above, pressure leads to concentrated selling release. Following the trend, the market naturally plays out as scripted.After the $ETH custody incident, can the on-chain security value of ETH be distinguished? Recent major platform security incidents have caused the entire industry to bear a trust discount, but platform key risks and Ethereum consensus risks are not the same thing. If settlement demand, staking stability, and DeFi collateral activities remain, network resilience can diverge from sentiment. The opposing view is that cross-chain and application layer risks will still transmit; if activity and fees continue to weaken, the argument fails. Observe on-chain stablecoin balances, lending utilization, and staking exits, rather than equating exchange risk directly with underlying chain risk. When further confirming, I separate news shocks, capital flows, and real usage for examination; only if at least two indicators move in the same direction across multiple periods do I adjust the mid-term judgment. If only short-term price or a single indicator changes, maintain caution and wait for subsequent data. Binance Withdrawal Wave: A Misinterpreted "Run" 🐋
In the first hour after withdrawals opened, 5,977 BTC flowed out; by 7 AM this morning, only 33 remained. 📉
I broke down the payment records of the new wallet bc1qhp7n…5fjj by hour — from 14:11 yesterday to 9 AM this morning, about 17,502 BTC moved to over 27,000 addresses. 📊
In the first 3 hours alone, 10,283 BTC rushed out, nearly 60%. After that, the curve steadily declined: 569 BTC at 8 PM, 116 BTC at 3 AM, and only 1,033 BTC over the full 6 hours from 3 AM to 9 AM. When Asia started work at 8 AM, it only bounced back to 280 BTC. 📉
DefiLlama headlines "$5.8 billion net outflow in 24 hours," which sounds alarming. But on-chain rhythm doesn’t lie: those in a hurry left within the first 3 hours. ⏳
This looks more like a concentrated pressure release rather than a sustained run. 💨
The wallet balance is now about 3,469 BTC, with the cold wallet 3M219 still holding 158,000 BTC, and since withdrawals opened, it only replenished 3,000 BTC once at 2 AM. 🏦
Funds outflowed $5.8 billion, yet BTC bounced back to 78K. Did Binance really hold this line, or is everyone tacitly waiting to make their move after Tuesday’s midterm elections? 🤔
The answer might be in the next candlestick. 📈Why are people still leveraging long positions when the price has dropped this much?
BTC is currently at $77,145, the fear index is 26, and there have been $2.21 billion liquidations in the last 24 hours. On-chain data shows that Hyperliquid's top 200 positions opened $65.99 million in new long orders, while short orders are only 723.
Then I looked at the leverage ratio and was stunned. 40x leverage, liquidation price just 1.6% away from the current price. If $BTC shakes again by a little over a thousand dollars, those positions will be wiped out. Binance has a $11.7 million buy order at 76,000, it looks like someone is catching it, but orders can be withdrawn at any time.
Anyway, I dare not touch it. If 76,300 breaks, the real action is just beginning. #美国中期选举在即，哪些结果值得关注？ Baseline scenario: Divided Congress (highest probability)
Democrats take the House, Republicans hold the Senate. White House legislation basically stalls, investigations, hearings, and budget disputes become the norm.
⚠️
Scenario two: Democrats take both chambers (medium probability)
Trump's policy space is greatly compressed, tax and immigration bills are hard to pass, personnel appointments are frequently vetoed.
✗
Scenario three: Republicans hold both chambers (low probability)
This means voters have absorbed the negative impacts of inflation and war, allowing Trump to continue advancing his agenda.
Regardless of the outcome, the tone of US competition with China will not change, with strong bipartisan consensus on tough China-related issues. The difference is: when Democrats control Congress, it is easier to use hearings on China trade, investment, and security issues as tools, and oversight on export controls and China investment reviews will be more active. BTC fell below 77,000, ETH is approaching 2,250, but ACM faces another risk: market funds are withdrawing, and even the team's win couldn't boost the coin price.
Just reviewed the fund data and found that the support for the three coins is completely different: BTC has ETF fund inflows and outflows, ETH has institutional products and staking demand, while ACM relies more on event popularity and short-term trading.
$BTC: around $76,974. Recently, the full trading day saw a net outflow of $643 million from spot ETFs, exceeding the combined inflow of $441 million over the previous four days. 77,000 has been lost; the observation zone below is 76,300, and above, 77,500 needs to be reclaimed. Funds have not yet confirmed a return.
$ETH: around $2,255. ETF single-day net outflow of $156 million, under pressure for five consecutive trading days. The price is relatively stronger than BTC, but 2,250 is right below; if lost, watch 2,200; resistance remains at 2,300 above.
$ACM: around $0.231, down 2.94%. AC Milan just won the local derby, and there is a Europa League match on November 5, but the event's popularity has not translated into clear buying. 0.23 is the immediate observation level; if broken, beware of liquidity shortages amplifying volatility; above, first watch 0.24.
In short: BTC is digesting institutional withdrawals, ETH is holding key support, but ACM lacks support from funds at the same level. Matches can generate hype but cannot create buy orders.
#闪迪业绩超预期并宣布拆股，股价跌逾13% BTC dropped to $77,145, fear index at 26, $2.21 billion liquidated in 24 hours, bulls taking $1.78 billion in losses. Normally, no one would dare to go long at such a time, but on-chain data shows Hyperliquid's top 200 positions just added 854.5 BTC longs worth $65.99 million, while shorts increased by 723 BTC in the same period. The longs and shorts are directly facing off around $77,000.
The most striking thing is the leverage. One address opened a long of 117.35 BTC at an average price of $76,847 with 20x leverage; another opened a long of 80 BTC at $76,870, position worth $6.18 million. The liquidation prices for these high-leverage longs are concentrated between $75,442 and $75,911, only 1.6% to 2.2% away from the current price. If $BTC drops another thousand dollars, these positions won't just be underwater, they'll disappear entirely.
On the other side, it's not retail traders either. One address shorted 200 BTC at $76,933 with 40x leverage, nominal value $15.45 million. Hyperliquid whales still hold a net short position of about $887 million, with active trades skewed to the sell side. Yet the overall market long-short ratio has risen to 2.74, with bulls still adding.
The contradiction lies here. The side with more people is increasing leverage, the side with more money is shorting. Binance has a buy order around $76,000 for about $11.7 million, which looks like support, but the order can be withdrawn at any time.
This is not about guessing bottoms or tops, it's a bet on timing. Bulls bet on a wick followed by a pullback, bears bet that the previous low at $76,300 won't hold.Just saw "Akash migrating from Cosmos to Solana," and my first reaction was: Is it done already? Upon closer look, I found that Akash stakers have approved the migration, but AKT needs to pass two audits before it can launch on Solana; the compute market migration and staking rewards termination also require a separate switch vote. After being in the circle for a year, I’m still easily misled by headlines 😂
My understanding is that this is more like the migration direction being approved, not that the business has already landed. I think the most directly affected at this stage are the stakers, and it’s not accurate to judge that the compute business will benefit just by switching chains.
The two audits are a prerequisite before going live; approval doesn’t mean it’s already usable. The compute market still needs a separate vote, which also shows that token listing and business migration are not the same thing. For stakers, the reward termination still requires a vote, and the subsequent switching arrangements matter more to their participation than "which ecosystem it went to."
I haven’t figured out yet what specific improvements the migration can bring to both compute supply and demand sides; the materials don’t provide an answer either. If the new environment can lower the usage threshold, then I would be more convinced of its business significance, but that’s just my speculation. What I want to focus on next are the audits and the switching plan, and I won’t equate the chain migration news directly with growth for now.November 4 Midterm Elections: Which Party Has a Better Chance? How Will BTC Market Move?
(1) Let's first talk about why BTC hasn't been rising recently
From October 26 to 29, the US spot BTC ETF saw a net inflow of about $441 million, but on the 30th, there was a net outflow of about $643 million, which wiped out the inflows of the previous four days in just one day, indicating unstable buying pressure.
The election results will affect the advancement of new crypto legislation. Since policy direction is still unclear, some funds may choose to wait and see, causing buying funds to hesitate.
(2) Which party has a better chance?
Emerson's pre-election poll shows the Democratic Party with 52% support and the Republican Party with 42%, a 10-point lead for the Democrats. (Trump belongs to the Republican Party)
As of November 2, prediction markets give the Democrats a winning probability of about 95% for the House, about 74% for the Senate, and about 71%–75% for taking both chambers.
Currently, the Democrats seem more likely to win; the House is basically secured, but the Senate depends on the November 4 vote.
(3) What impact would a Democratic victory have on BTC?
Within the Democratic Party, views on cryptocurrency vary, but overall they emphasize investor protection, anti-money laundering, and conflict of interest concerns, and are more cautious about loosening regulations.
If the Democrats control Congress, Trump's push for new crypto legislation will require more negotiation, and the market's expected policy benefits may be delayed, leading to a somewhat bearish policy outlook for BTC.
#美国中期选举在即，哪些结果值得关注？ $CORE has dropped to 0.012. At this price level, what exactly does the question "What should be done?" mean?
0.012, a drop of over 99.8% from its historical high, with a circulating market cap of about 12 to 14 million USD, has already fallen into the "high-risk small-cap range." An analysis on OKX from November 2 gave a qualitative assessment more accurate than "zeroing out": CORE has entered a "semi-zombie" state.
Semi-zombie means: the chain is still producing blocks, but real economic activity is nearly at a standstill.
Therefore, the question "What should be done next?" cannot be answered simply by "bottom fishing" or "cutting losses." It requires a framework that breaks down the actions.
First level: Your position and what you think your position is may not be the same thing.
Many people calculate their losses by "purchase price minus current price." But at 0.012, what matters more is "can I exit at close to the book value when needed?"
Today's Core chain data on DefiLlama:
24-hour on-chain fees: $1.17.
24-hour DEX volume: $148.89.
TVL: $3.8M.
On-chain revenue of $1.17, on-chain transaction volume of $148.89. On the same page, 24-hour transaction count is 34,943 — over thirty-four thousand transactions, with real value exchanged less than $150.
The chain is moving, but it’s not economic activity; it’s empty rotation.
This means: the "price" you see on the CEX order book and the "liquidity" you can actually realize on-chain are two different things. 0.012 is a quoted price, not an executable price. The difficulty of exiting for small and slightly larger positions is not a linear relationship.
Second level: There is a date that takes precedence over any price judgment.
Bithumb will delist the CORE trading pair at 15:00 on November 30 (Korean time). Withdrawal support will end at 15:00 on December 30.
The reason for delisting is not "insufficient liquidity," but that the issue of CORE being flagged as a trading warning asset remains unresolved — rooted in the validator reward anomaly event at the end of August. The project team submitted multiple rounds of explanations, but the exchange still judged the risk as not eliminated.
Delisting an asset due to "risk not eliminated" versus "market volatility" has completely different implications. The former is a qualitative judgment; the latter is a description.
If your CORE is still on Bithumb, after December 30, the withdrawal channel will close, and no one can answer what state your assets will be in. This issue has a higher priority than any judgment about "whether SatPay will launch."
Third level: There is an "update on status" on-chain that most people ignore.
On October 31, about 97 million CORE tokens from the b14g staking protocol were withdrawn without authorization. Tracking results show about 68 million still on the Core chain, about 9 million frozen by exchanges. The sum does not reach 97 million. The difference is neither in traceable on-chain balances nor in the frozen range.
More worth noting is the status of those 68 million tokens. The paused contract "only blocks new operation entries, it does not mean the existing tokens are destroyed or locked." The summary on OKX puts it plainly: "Pause is to stop bleeding, not to clear the wound."
Adding the approximately 69 million low-cost chips left by the August 31 vulnerability, the number of tokens with "restricted source and uncertain destination" hanging over CORE’s circulating supply is already a structural variable measured in hundreds of millions. It may not crash immediately, but its existence itself is the physical upper limit of every rebound.
Fourth level: Validators — how far are they from the critical line?
Information from October 24 gave specific numbers: 31 independent validator nodes have dropped to 16. According to Satoshi Plus consensus rules, if the number of validators drops to 15 or fewer, the network faces a "fatal risk" of consensus stagnation or complete block production halt. The remaining validators are highly tied to the project team, seriously questioning decentralization.
From 16 to 15, just one position. This is not a parameter in a valuation model; it is the physical boundary for whether the chain can still produce blocks normally. Price is at 0.012, validators at 16. Both facts coexist.
So, "What should be done next?"
It is not a binary choice of "buy" or "sell." At this level, a more honest framework has three lines:
First line: The deadline for exit channels. Bithumb closes withdrawals on December 30. If your position involves this platform, this is a hard constraint, not an opinion. Handle hard constraints first, then discuss direction.
Second line: The exit-ability of your position. $148.89 daily DEX volume means on-chain liquidity to realize value is near zero. CEX volume still exists, but delisting continues. Before discussing "how much it can rise," first confirm "how much can actually be exited if needed now."
Third line: Before any signal appears, "waiting" is not a strategy. To date, there has been no CORE transfer on-chain that can be marked as a "buyback executed with ecosystem revenue." SatPay keeps being delayed with no clear launch timetable. Until any of these three happen: validator count stops falling and rises, the first verifiable buyback transfer appears on-chain, or a new liquidity channel outside Bithumb emerges, "waiting" consumes not time but the residual value of exit rights.
$1.17. This is all the Core chain’s fee income today. It does not answer whether 0.012 is the bottom. It only answers a more fundamental question: at this price level, how much real economic reason does the chain beneath your "wait for rebound before leaving" plan create today.
$CORE #苹果Q4营收超预期，下季度毛利率指引承压 Strategy's net profit for the third quarter was $19.53 billion, with GAAP diluted earnings per share of $44.75; digital asset gains from Bitcoin holdings reached $20.91 billion, which was the main source of the record quarterly profit. During the same period, software business revenue was $125.4 million, down 3% year-over-year. After the Bitcoin market weakened, the impact of its price changes on Strategy's subsequent performance has drawn attention.【Mercado Bitcoin Hacked: First Replay of Binance Script, "Issuer Freeze" Mechanism Reused Within 48 Hours】
The $6.3 billion Binance incident is not yet over, and the second leading exchange has already fallen. On November 2, Brazil's largest cryptocurrency exchange Mercado Bitcoin confirmed a security incident involving assets worth about $38 million (The Block reports $46 million). The platform announced it will bear the loss itself and has suspended deposits and withdrawals.
The handling of the incident is almost a replay of the Binance case, but faster: Tether has frozen 4.5 million USDT related to this incident; Mercado Bitcoin stated that it is cooperating with partners including Tether, Circle, Paxos, BRL1, and Chainalysis, having frozen about $11 million, with other freezable funds identified and disposal ongoing. The Binance incident just rehearsed the "issuer alliance freeze" emergency response mechanism, which was fully reused in Brazil within 48 hours — this is both good news (industry emergency mechanisms are taking shape) and bad news (attackers are also learning, and second-tier exchanges generally have weaker defenses than top-tier ones).
The real signal of this event lies in its timing. The Binance incident pushed exchange security to global headlines and objectively exposed common weak points in the industry such as hot wallet signatures and private key management. During this high-risk window, "copycat" attacks on second-tier exchanges are very likely not to be isolated. Practical advice for ordinary users: check the cold wallet asset ratio, reserve proof update frequency, and historical security records of the platforms you use; for industry observers: watch for more exchange security disclosures in the next one to two weeks — this will determine whether this is an isolated case or a seasonal trend.$SUI SUI unlocked 39 million USD in this wave, but the market didn't even ripple, with 0.9 USD firmly holding. 70% of the tokens on-chain are locked in the staking pool, and the circulating supply has long dried up; the bearish news was immediately absorbed by the buying pressure. Shorts at this level are purely holding on stubbornly, losing interest every day for what purpose.

👇The three words “or bank” made me laugh: the crypto circle is like people waiting for a meal, staring at the Federal Reserve's kitchen for a long time. Hayes reminds us that the bank's table might also add dishes. But a bigger balance sheet doesn't mean there's automatically more meat in my bowl; don't raise your chopsticks in sour anticipation 😂
I'm more concerned about the bank's balance sheet expansion line, rather than guessing when the Fed will act. Hayes believes dollar liquidity is recovering but expects $BTC to remain weak until the Fed or banks expand their balance sheets. My judgment is: this observation is useful, but taking it as a sufficient condition for a market uptrend is like mistaking a ticket for a trophy.
The point is, balance sheet expansion answers whether the asset-liability scale has increased, but doesn't directly answer how much new funds are willing to take risks. In my guess, if the bank's balance sheet expansion mainly corresponds to low-risk asset allocation, then the driving force transmitted to the crypto market might be limited; if accompanied by stronger credit issuance and risk appetite, then there's more reason to discuss its support for market sentiment. For ordinary players, distinguishing these two layers is more practical than just reciting “balance sheet expansion is bullish.”
So I would put “where the money goes” ahead of “how big the balance sheet is.” Which side are you on: raising attention as soon as you see bank balance sheet expansion, or waiting until the flow of risk funds is clearer? Choosing the former or the latter, are we hungry just by looking at the menu, or do we start eating only when the dishes arrive?$SHIB
I read the morning news headline three times: "SHIB top whale transferred 1.07 trillion tokens."
It looks like a dump warning. Let's calculate: 1.07 trillion tokens at the current price of 0.00000455 equals about $48.7 million. There are still 91.6 trillion tokens in that address, worth $418 million.
Someone who has held for five years with a cost so low it can be ignored moved one-tenth of their entire position. This is called portfolio adjustment.
The market didn't react. In 24 hours, the price dropped from 0.000004695 to 0.00000455, a 3% drop, with a low of 0.000004519, following the overall market trend. The futures side is even stranger: the funding rate is -0.0022%, meaning shorts are paying longs, but the entire SHIB perpetual position is only $6.24 million.
The liquidity pool is too shallow. If such a big whale really wants to exit, the ones taking the position aren't the futures depth but several spot market makers.
I don't think this is a signal. If you really want to watch, watch where the next transfer goes—transferring to an exchange is selling, transferring to a new wallet is just moving house.
#美国中期选举在即，哪些结果值得关注？ $SOL
SOL dropped from 95.9 to 90.87 this morning, now at 92.05, down 3% for the day.
At 9:09, a message popped up: Akash Network plans to migrate its blockchain infrastructure to Solana, to be completed in 24 months.
This is considered positive news, a real migration with actual investment, not just slogans. But the price hasn't even made a decent rebound. The one-hour candle at 9 o'clock closed at 92.35, with a volume of 12,000 tokens, half of the 21,000 tokens at 8 o'clock.
What I've learned over the years: news about migration, upgrades, or foundation buying coins basically has no effect on the daily K-line. The short-term price is still decided by those leveraged positions. The fee rate is currently +0.0098%, with longs continuing to pay shorts, and the open interest of $330 million remains unchanged.
Some are waiting for the positive news to be realized, others are waiting to see if 90.87 breaks. I lean toward the latter happening first. A 24-month project is enough time for the price to go through several rounds of fluctuations.
I only take note of this kind of news, not entering the market.
#美国中期选举在即，哪些结果值得关注？ On the morning of the voting day, BTC first broke through the 77000 line. Binance spot briefly dropped to around 76900, down about 1.7% in 24 hours, with the daytime high lingering near 78800 for a while.
Coinglass statistics show about $298 million liquidated across the network in the past 12 hours, with longs around $271 million and shorts about $27 million. The breakdown looks more like leveraged long positions being liquidated; the midterm election story alone can't fully explain it. Opponents might compare it to the sharp declines after the 2018 and 2022 midterms, but those years had other black swan events, so you can't directly apply that to tonight's voting window.
Before the voting results come out, if the spot price doesn't recover above 77000 and hold for a few hours, treat this wave as a continued risk-off retreat and don't rush to write a post-election reversal script. Snapshot around 10:08 Beijing time, spot about $77030, down about 1.8% in 24 hours. The price has already softened first; let's see if it can reclaim this line before discussing whether sentiment has stabilized.

#BTC #Bitcoin #Cryptocurrency After more than a month of continuous decline, what concerns me is the sustainability of this trend. In the futures market, when margin size keeps shrinking, experienced traders usually first consider the market's capacity to absorb pressure rather than rushing to guess the bottom. This time, stablecoins decreased by $6.9 billion in a month, and analysts are using this to take a bearish stance on Bitcoin's trend.
However, the crypto market is different; stablecoins also serve payment and settlement purposes and cannot be directly treated as idle margin in futures accounts. I view this news more as a warning about leverage risk rather than a directional judgment: if the reduction happens to be funds willing to absorb sell pressure, then the same selling pressure could cause greater volatility. This is my speculation, and total market capitalization alone is not enough to confirm it.
My judgment is that this information has more risk control significance for contract traders than timing significance for spot traders. For those who have also transitioned from traditional markets, when facing such continuous shrinkage, would you increase your margin reserve ratio or maintain your original risk control standards? #苹果Q4营收超预期，下季度毛利率指引承压 Apple Earnings Quick Review: Data Not Bad, But High-Level Profit Taking Leads to Decline
$AAPL Q4 earnings overall revenue and profit slightly exceeded expectations, iPhone and Mac sales stronger than expected, hardware fundamentals remain resilient, service revenue hit a new high, and holiday season revenue guidance also exceeded market expectations.
The biggest flaw this time came from Greater China revenue falling short of expectations, while iPad and wearable devices weakened significantly, showing severe product structure divergence.
The market's biggest concern, AI commercialization progress, remains blank with no new progress guidance. But precisely because of this blank in its commercial AI field, it did not heavily bet on AI, thus maintaining relative stability and resistance to decline in this downturn.
The post-market drop is entirely a typical "buy the hype at the top, sell the facts" scenario.
The performance is fine, but the previous AI premium was priced too high, with no new positive news, so funds naturally chose to take profits and exit. Apple delivered a record September quarter. The holiday outlook now puts the balance between sales growth and rising costs in focus.
For Q4 FY2026, ended Sep 26, Apple reported:
• Revenue: $114.5B, up 12% YoY
• Diluted EPS: $2.10, up 14%
• Gross margin: 47.9%
• iPhone revenue: $57.58B
• Services revenue: a record $31.57B
Revenue and EPS beat analyst expectations. iPhone sales set a September-quarter record, while Services reached an all-time high, broadening the growth story beyond hardware alone.
The margin comparison needs context. Tariff refunds added about $0.05 to EPS and one percentage point to gross margin. Subtracting that margin benefit gives an approximate 46.9% reference point, not a company-reported adjusted margin.
That distinction matters when comparing Q4 with the December-quarter outlook. It avoids attributing the entire change from 47.9% to future guidance to higher ongoing costs.
For the December quarter, Apple expects:
• Revenue growth: 7%-10% YoY
• Gross margin: 45%-46%
Management expects another revenue record, but higher memory costs put profitability under pressure. The sales outlook and margin outlook therefore tell different stories: more revenue does not necessarily mean a higher profit margin.
Services adds another dimension to that assessment. Its record revenue highlights the role of the installed base and recurring customer activity, while hardware demand and component costs remain important to the overall earnings picture.
Apple generated $28B in operating cash flow and returned $28B to shareholders during Q4. Its active installed base also reached a new high across major product categories and regions.
The next quarter will test whether sales momentum and the business mix can offset rising costs. Revenue growth, underlying margins and cash generation together offer a fuller view than the headline earnings beat.
Can Apple sustain its sales momentum while keeping margin pressure in check?
#AppleQ4MarginPressure Recently, the PC hardware market has warmed up, with prices for complete machines and storage components rising. The market holds strong expectations for AMD's current earnings report, optimistic about the recovery resilience of the PC business.
However, AMD's focus is not only on consumer chips; the growth guidance and gross margin changes of the AI computing power business are also key points of attention for investors. Even if the PC segment data is impressive, if the AI-related guidance falls short of expectations, it can easily trigger a market reaction due to the gap in expectations.
xAMD is linked to the Nasdaq tech sector, and its volatility will quickly respond to the earnings results. I am lightly tracking it and will not simply predict earnings based on rumors of hardware price increases; I will wait for the data to be released before observing capital support. #AMD拟斥资82亿美元收购AI公司 Two interpretations this morning: full position added within an hour, the bottom has arrived; ZEC dropped the hardest, so buying it is the most cost-effective. I don't follow either, the numbers don't mean that.
Logic one, "Adding position ≠ selling pressure gone."
All four coins positive in one hour: BTC up 0.29%, ETH up 0.23%, SOL up 0.48%, ZEC replenished 1.20%. But the whole network liquidated 380 million in one day, an increase of 218.48%, while the whole network position only moved 0.22%. Not much new money, many exited, so who is selling? Look at the liquidation orders 💥.
Logic two, "Falling a lot ≠ bottomed out."
ZEC at the 1154 level, down 5.86% leading the decline in one day, position retreated 3.19% in one day, 1.20% in one hour is just a rebound. BTC at the 77133 level, down 1.20% with position up 1.99%, SOL down 1.60% with position up 0.91%, ETH down 0.55% with position down 0.54%. The biggest dropper doesn't necessarily bottom first.
Logic three, "Deepening fear ≠ can blindly buy."
Fear and greed index at 27, in the fear zone, but longs and shorts are still balanced at 49.43 to 50.57, BTC in wallets decreased by 3,472 coins, remaining 2.444 million coins. Panic exists, surrender hasn't come, those who must sell haven't finished selling, why should I take the risk 🤔.
My judgment: the first to fold at the gambling table are not those calling the bottom, but those who can't withstand liquidation orders. If liquidation growth doesn't slow, I won't add positions; if the one-hour position turns negative, I reduce one lot. The bottom will come, waiting for sellers to fold 🎲.#BTC continues to face pressure, with divergence between capital and market trends
$BTC is currently around $77,000, down 1.65% in 24 hours, $ETH at $2,256, SOL and BNB weakening in sync, and the CMC Fear and Greed Index dropping to 33, in the "Fear" zone. In the past 24 hours, the total network liquidation reached $282 million, with longs accounting for $211 million; leveraged longs are still being squeezed out layer by layer.
The easing between the US and Iran was completely ignored. Oil prices plunged 7%, which should have boosted risk appetite, but BTC failed to hold even $78,000, indicating that current crypto pricing is driven by internal capital structure and event uncertainty rather than geopolitical risk premium.
A rare split in capital flows has appeared: ETFs have seen a cumulative outflow of $859 million over the past 6 days, with BlackRock's IBIT single-day outflow at $233.7 million; however, on-chain whales have increased holdings to about 3.03 million BTC, the fastest accumulation pace since February this year. ETFs are selling while whales are buying; the sustainability of the rebound depends on whether spot buying can outweigh ETF redemption pressure.
Subsequent judgment: BTC is very likely to continue consolidating in the $76K–$78K range, with $76,000 as the core support; breaking below that targets $74,000–$74,900. ETH is under pressure in the $2,200–$2,300 range, with the $2,200 demand zone as a short-term defense line. The real directional signal is not in the election itself but whether ETF funds can stop outflows after the November 6 non-farm payrolls — before that, rebounds are structural, not trend-based.#苹果Q4营收超预期，下季度毛利率指引承压
Today is the midterm election! After the shoe drops, is it a turning point? The Federal Reserve just finished its policy meeting, and now there's another major macro test.
Yesterday, the Federal Reserve's policy decision was finalized, and the market hasn't fully digested it yet. Today it directly clashes with the U.S. midterm elections.
Many people only focus on who wins, but they don't understand what the market is really trading: the clearing of uncertainty.
Historical patterns are very clear: after the midterm elections, the S&P has a very high probability of rising over the following year. The core logic is not about which party benefits, but that a 【divided government】 = policy brakes.
The two parties check each other, making aggressive fiscal policies, strong regulation, and heavy tax hikes difficult to advance, which instead gives the market a stable expectation. This is the fundamental reason Wall Street likes a “stalemate.”
Three scenarios directly correspond to the market:
✅Scenario 1: Democrats retake the House (current market baseline expectation)
Fiscal expansion is limited, long-term U.S. Treasury yields are more likely to decline, benefiting growth, tech, and gold; AI regulation expectations rise, causing volatility in high-level computing power themes.
✅Scenario 2: Democrats take both chambers
Fiscal expansion is directly blocked, expectations for lower interest rates are stronger, but tech regulatory pressure is maxed out, leading to amplified Nasdaq volatility.
✅Scenario 3: Republicans hold both chambers
Fiscal stimulus expectations revive, U.S. Treasury yields are likely to rebound, which is bearish for growth stocks, while oil & gas and defense sectors show stronger elasticity.Apple just released its new earnings report, and the numbers look pretty good: revenue of $114.48 billion, earnings per share of $2.10, both exceeding expectations; iPhone revenue also rose 17.5% to $57.6 billion. But the stock price still fell 2.5% after hours.
Why? Because the market is not focused on this quarter, but on the guidance for the next quarter. This is also the first earnings report since Tim Cook took over as CEO in September, and what everyone really cares about is what Apple will say next.
The storage price hike cycle has already run its course. In June, Apple raised prices for Mac and iPad by 15%–25%; in July, the third quarter guidance was below expectations due to memory shortages, causing a more than 4% drop after hours. Micron’s gross margin was 84.9% that quarter, and the price-lock agreement extends beyond 2027—so cost pressure is not a one-time thing. Guidance from Qualcomm and Arm is also weighed down by this memory bill.
What’s more noteworthy is this divergence: next quarter’s revenue growth guidance is 7%–10%, higher than expected; but gross margin is expected to drop from this quarter’s 47.9% to 45%–46%, below the expected 46.3%. Demand hasn’t collapsed, but profits are being squeezed by upstream costs. Apple has already retreated from "passing on price increases" to "absorbing costs itself." $AAPL $ETH #苹果Q4营收超预期，下季度毛利率指引承压 On Monday, the Dow rose 0.41%, while the Nasdaq fell 1.07%. People call this the AI bubble bursting, but I don't quite agree. When a real crash happens, it doesn't pick and choose what falls; everything gets hammered together. Last Thursday, Google just experienced its largest single-day drop since going public. Right now, money is simply moving out of the most crowded tech positions into other areas. What's falling is leverage and crowding, not demand. The louder the bubble talk, the more it feels like a cleanup.#苹果Q4营收超预期，下季度毛利率指引承压
Revenue and EPS both exceeded expectations, mainly driven by strong iPhone demand (+17%) and the accounting boost from tariff refunds—adjusted EPS is about $2.05 excluding these factors.
However, market concerns for the second half of the year deserve attention: the gross margin guidance of 45%-46% is below expectations, indicating that rising prices of memory chips and AI service costs are eroding profit margins. Apple has moved from a "high gross margin harvesting period" into a "cost pressure period," relying on product cycles to sustain revenue in the short term, but the long-term returns on AI infrastructure investments remain uncertain. Investors should watch whether the gross margin can stabilize in the next fiscal quarter.$SOL $BTC #With the US midterm elections approaching, which results are worth watching?
BTC looks above 85000
Everyone thinks the Democrats have a big advantage, just like when Trump ran for president, the silent majority of voters will make their choice!
I predict the Republicans will sweep both the Senate and the House!
• Senate: Republicans 53 seats, Democrats at most hold 47. The redistricting map is unfavorable to Democrats; losing one seat means no chance to flip.
• House: Republicans around 230 seats, continuing to control. The "deadlock" is an illusion.
• Underlying logic: voters only care about prices, interest rates, and jobs; the Republican narrative is more direct; Democrats can't present an economic plan that sticks.
• Response to the "midterm election curse": acknowledge the pattern, but this time the variable is on the opponent's side — "they have no cards."
Market scenario: Republican sweep → tax cuts and deregulation priced in early → US stocks rise first, crypto follows. But when the result is finalized, the good news is fully priced in, so don't buy at the peak. CL is experiencing the largest single-day drop in the past month.
Looking at CL's candlestick chart, the highest point at the 4H level dropped from 105 down to 95.
Reviewing CL's candlestick chart, it rose steadily from 86 on October 6th to 105.
BTC's price fell from 86,500 on October 6th to 77,000 today.
They are basically completely negatively correlated.
Now that CL has reversed direction downward, I don't want to inquire about the results of Trump's midterm elections or the US-Iran war.
I just want to answer one question: CL's rise up to today has fully met expectations, so starting a high-level oscillating decline is the main direction.
Will BTC, ETH, and various non-AI Russell 2000 small-cap stocks in the risk market see a rebound?
Most likely yes, and this day might be this week, at the latest by November 10th. That's my estimate.
To be more absolute: the root of all problems lies in the oil price level, which determines the price of all global risk assets.Conclusion first: $SOXS was up 10.7% in the last 24 hours last night, the direction was right. But I have to pour two buckets of cold water.
Last night semiconductors collectively plunged: SOXX -3.79% (471.51→453.65), SMH -2.72%, $MRVL -12.72%, behind it is AI capital expenditure panic (Fortune 10-31). The 3x short ETF SOXS underlying stock closed at 58.09 (+11.5%), OKX's $SOXS perpetual is now 55.38, highest 58.60.
Cold water one: 3x daily reset. If SOXX rebounds 3.8% tomorrow, the 11.5% gain SOXS made yesterday will be wiped out at once; even if the direction is right, you can't hold it.
Cold water two: liquidity. $SOXS perpetual 24h volume is about 74 million USD, the same-named tokenized spot XSOXS only traded 490,000 USD, a 152 times difference; spot best bid is only 0.29 lots (about 16 USD), if you want to buy 10,000 USD, you have to eat up all 43 lots at the best ask.
One more note: on 11-02 16:00 the funding rate was -0.118%, shorts paid longs.
My approach: I only take small positions and short-term trades on such leveraged ETF perpetuals, not for long-term hedging. If you want to bottom-fish semiconductors, would you first choose the 3x short $SOXS?There was something I stared at for a long time without understanding: a Binance whale bought nearly 100 million $BTC in nine hours, with a net purchase of 76.55 million USD, yet the price hovered around 76,900 as if nothing happened.
Later I realized that most of that money wasn't really a buy. Closing short positions on the order book also shows as buying; they weren't bullish and pushing up, they were admitting defeat and exiting. Same numbers, different nature.
How to tell the difference? Look at the open interest. Closing shorts should reduce it, but OI rose from 97.2K to 99K, actually increasing by 1.8K.
At 76,699 there's still a 11.52 million long position open, which looks like it’s not planning to leave. This situation is awkward; it looks like a rise, but it's actually a change of hands.In the past nine hours, Binance $USDT perpetual contracts saw a significant buy order: a whale bought $97.7959 million at an average price of 76,975.8; sold $21.2401 million at an average price of 76,855.1. Net buy is about $76.5558 million. Seeing this number, the first reaction is that the whale is accumulating.
But the average prices on both sides differ by 120 dollars. Buyers transacted at a higher price, sellers sold at a lower price, indicating this volume was not from order book grinding but buyers actively pushing up and ultimately absorbing all the chips being sold.
A more critical layer is below: most of this buying came from short position liquidations. Short covering shows as buying on the order book, so a significant portion of the net $76.55 million buy is not new money entering but old positions exiting. Looking only at this number would overestimate the bullish strength.
Is there new money? Look at open interest. During the same period, OI rose from 97.2K to 99K, an increase of about 1.8K. Short covering would reduce OI, but since it rose instead, it means the scale of new positions opened exceeded the reduction caused by liquidations.
The structure is therefore clear: a weighted move involving short covering but with control falling to new long holders. The buy order near 76,699 of about $11.52 million opening long positions is the cost anchor for this round of new longs.
Net buying mainly comes from liquidations, which is one-off and will be gone once used. How long the remaining support lasts depends on whether the new longs around 76,699 are willing to add more.#美国中期选举在即，哪些结果值得关注？

US Stock Market Winter Time First Day Close: Divergence Is the Key Signal
Dow Jones closed up 0.41% at 51,983.98, S&P 500 fell 0.51% to 7,541.40, Nasdaq dropped 1.07% to 25,164.32; the three major indexes surged then retreated, tech under pressure, value stocks supported the bottom. WTI plunged 7.36% to $96.46, benefiting traditional sectors but unable to support overvalued tech stocks, with the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index plunging 3.37%.
The US-Iran easing signals were priced in on the first day, but core differences remain unresolved; Trump still retains military options, and oil price risk premium may swing back. Regarding the midterm elections, the market has priced in a high probability of Democrats taking the House; a divided Congress is actually favorable—AI regulation and tax hikes will be difficult to advance; the real risk is a Democratic Senate landslide, which would strengthen policy and tech tax burden pricing for 2028.
Subsequent judgment: pre-election mainly digesting with volatility. If a divided Congress is realized and oil prices remain low, the S&P has a repair window after stabilizing around 7,500; if the Senate is won decisively or US-Iran talks reverse, Nasdaq will face adjustment pressure first. The first day is not the start of a trend but a position rebalancing before a week of intensive events."Smart Money Blogger Weekly Review" Issue 12 · Big Beauty
Always losing money when opening trades yourself? It's not that you're not trying hard enough, but that you're missing a reliable reference. Every week, we help you evaluate well-known top bloggers across the web, with real performance and data to back it up.
Big Beauty gave 6 signals in two weeks, never once misreading the direction. But he only waited for the price twice—he never chases prices, short positions are placed above, long positions below, and he doesn't act unless the price reaches those levels. Of these two trades, one gained 47.8%, the other 40.7%, with no stop-loss triggered. The maximum unrealized loss in between was less than 1%.
He dares to set such wide stop-losses because he only opens 3% position size. If the stop-loss is hit, the account only drops about 2%. I think this approach is quite smart—using small position sizes to allow for greater error tolerance. It's not that he doesn't dare to go heavy, but it's intentionally designed this way; trading is not gambling.
There is a cost too. The HYPE short order was placed at 82.68, but the highest price on the chart was 82.54, missing entry by 0.14. The ETH short order just executed, but he said he wouldn't short for now, causing followers to exit midway.
Overall, this person's trades are worth following. Because for the 4 times the price didn't reach, your money didn't move a cent, but the 2 executed trades truly made money.

Leave a comment below; those with the most likes will be prioritized. $BTC $PEPE Don't get excited too quickly, let me pour some cold water first: the repair progress can move forward, but market optimism might be overdone. I'm more cautious about this news being taken as a risk removal rather than a step in the repair process.
After Liquid added 300 $BTC, the reserve shortfall dropped to 250 BTC, and the estimated reserve backing ratio of L-BTC rose to 94.14%. I'm not rushing to go long for two reasons: the recovery plan requires full reserves before direct redemptions can restart, and this threshold is not relaxed proportionally; the replenishment indeed reduced the shortfall, but a single top-up is not enough to prove the remaining gap can be smoothly filled, while sentiment might have prematurely priced in the good news.
Those bullish might also be right, as the replenishment is at least a substantial progress. If full reserves are restored later and direct redemptions resume, I will change my view. Regarding the impact of this replenishment on L-BTC, are you bullish or bearish? Share your reasons—are you betting on the repair speed or worried about the redemption threshold?#Circle财报在即，稳定币增长能否兑现收益？
From Polymarket's perspective, $CRCL Q3 GAAP EPS priced above $0.37 at 73%, but 0.37 is slightly below Wall Street consensus of 0.38 to 0.40
Looking at Circle's profits, profits are intercepted by distribution costs: Q2 distribution and transaction costs were $412 million, with about $325 million paid to Coinbase
It should be noted that the larger the USDC scale, the not necessarily more profitable Circle is. Q2 USDC circulation grew 19% year-over-year, on-chain transaction volume 151%, but total revenue only 7%, reserve income 5%
Scale expansion and revenue conversion are somewhat "de-anchored"
However, compared to historical expectations, the degree of exceeding expectations is decreasing 🧐
2025 Q3 88% → Q4 23% → 2026 Q1 17% → Q2 0% (in line with expectations). EPS absolute value also dropped from 0.64 to 0.18
"Beating expectations" increasingly depends on lowered expectations rather than stronger profitability.
In the short term, if Circle's earnings just meet the line and distribution cost ratio does not marginally converge, the stock price may not sustain a boost
In the medium to long term, institutional target price forecasts range from a low of 34–37 to a high of 243, consensus around 107, current about 72, with large divergence 🤔, beware of risks! If I were to write a strategy, I would set a rule: if the inflation adjustment only passes the governance vote, record it first in the event observation table; wait for progress in approval and protocol execution before updating the judgment. 🤖 As a quantitative newbie, I’m most afraid of directly writing “passed” as “effective.”
NEAR officially disclosed that House of Stake has voted to approve the proposal to reduce the maximum annual inflation rate from 2.5% to 1.6%, to be implemented in phases over 24 months. However, the proposal still requires review and approval by the Security Council, followed by about a 90-day grace period before entering the validator protocol execution phase.
My judgment is that this is more suitable as an observation condition for “execution progress” rather than a direct price signal. The advantage of the rule is to separate governance intent from actual implementation: approval, waiting, and execution are each recorded separately, so repeated announcements of the same event won’t repeatedly trigger reactions.
The loopholes must also be noted: the maximum inflation rate is an upper limit, not the actual new supply; phased adjustments are not a one-time supply change. Further, if the supply growth rate decreases but demand does not improve correspondingly, the impact on price remains difficult to judge. This is my speculation and should not replace demand analysis with reduced coin issuance.
If you were to write this condition yourself, would you set the “Security Council approval” or the “actual protocol execution” as the state transition point? What other data would you add to avoid false signals from the rule?"Palantir's revenue grew by 96%, but the stock price didn't rise and instead fell. Where can you even argue about this?
Looking at this week's earnings reports, Apple's revenue exceeded expectations, but the gross margin guidance is under pressure; SanDisk's performance beat expectations and they did a stock split, yet the stock dropped 13%; Intel is even worse, dropping 30% outright. It seems like whether the earnings are good or not, it doesn't stop the decline.
The truth is simple: it's not that the earnings are bad, it's that the price has already bought all the "good" news. Earnings reports now aren't good news, they're just verification. Expectations were set too high, even 96% growth isn't enough.
The crypto market has the same problem. Even with a pause in rate hikes, Bitcoin keeps falling. Good news doesn't push prices up. It's like they were taught by the same teacher as the US stock market.
So in this kind of market, the worst feeling isn't being wrong about the direction, it's that no matter what you do, it's wrong. You chase good earnings and it falls; you try to bottom-fish the big drops and it still falls. You get slapped back and forth.
My approach is to move less. Let it fluctuate repeatedly, I won't bother with the turmoil. No matter how much you study the fundamentals, you can't beat the fact that the story was told six months in advance.
Everyone got harvested back and forth several times this week.
#PalantirQ3营收增长96%，股价不涨反跌 $PLTR $BTC $SNDK SOL's 2.66% decline is outpacing BTC's 1.48% and ETH's 1.14%, suggesting risk appetite is thinning first in higher-beta crypto. That is notable because BTC's relative resilience can mask broader caution. A sharper, synchronized slide across majors would invalidate the view that this is selective deleveraging.
Not financial advice.#苹果Q4营收超预期，下季度毛利率指引承压 Apple's FY2026 Q4 revenue and iPhone revenue both exceeded market expectations, with the fundamentals showing strong performance. However, market focus is on the guidance for the next quarter, where gross margin expectations are lower than previous market estimates due to rising storage chip prices and increased AI-related costs, dampening investor sentiment and causing the stock to pull back after the initial positive reaction.
This earnings report is a typical case of "good current data but cautious future outlook," which is also characteristic of Nasdaq tech stocks currently: investors are becoming sensitive to profitability and cost factors.
My current holdings are showing unrealized gains, and I plan not to blindly increase my position. I will focus on observing whether the market can absorb the gross margin downside and then see if there is an opportunity for recovery.
