The three words "common stock" make me think that they deserve more attention than the repurchase amount. Metaplanet disclosed its repurchase execution in October, but it bought its own shares, not Bitcoin.
My judgment is that this news has a more direct emotional impact on the company's shareholders and should not be casually counted as a positive for $BTC. From the company's perspective, the repurchase might be intended to reassure shareholders, but the motive cannot be guessed; from the onlooker's perspective, fear especially makes it easy to interpret real money as "someone backing it." If this sense of security is then spread to the entire Bitcoin treasury sector, I think the necessary logic is skipped.
I also need to reflect: am I more prone to confirmation bias adding drama to the announcement the more I seek certainty 🫠? When you see this repurchase, is your first reaction "relieved" or "worried about cash being tied up"? Why?Marvell is acquiring Lumentum in an all-stock deal, with Lumentum shareholders receiving 4.5 shares of Marvell for each Lumentum share. After the transaction, Marvell's existing shareholders will hold 67%, and Lumentum shareholders will hold 33%. The implied enterprise value is approximately $115 billion, representing a premium of about 24%. The deal is expected to close in the first half of 2028, pending approval from both companies' shareholders and regulatory authorities.
What is Marvell aiming for? Lumentum's lasers are the bottleneck in AI data center optical interconnects; the CEO has mentioned that their optical components are fully booked through early 2029. Marvell is already a major customer of Lumentum, so it decided to acquire its supplier and take control of the bottleneck.
However, the market is skeptical. After the news broke, Marvell's stock price dropped. Since this is an all-stock transaction, Lumentum shareholders receive Marvell shares, so any decline in Marvell's stock price reduces the actual consideration. More troubling is that Lumentum owns an optical module business, and the module manufacturers who buy Marvell chips now effectively have a competitor's parent company as their supplier. Stifel has warned that this could cause Marvell to lose market share.
Therefore, while the deal makes strategic sense, the cost and risk of customer loss are enough to keep the market cautious for a while. $LITE
At 20:00, the 15-minute candle for LITE had a trading volume 17 times that of the previous one. The price jumped straight from 865 to 939, now around 915.
Mywell announced a full stock acquisition of Lumentum. The acquired side rose 7.8%, the buyer surged 3.3%, then the entire 15-minute gain was given back, and it's still in the red now.
I've seen this reaction many times. Full stock deals mean using your own stock as cash; the market first prices in dilution, then synergy, and after calculation, sells off.
Now about the contracts. LITE perpetual fee rate is 0.296%, longs are paying crazily. The open interest is only 4.04 million USD, pitifully small. Such a pool can have its fee rate pushed up by a single large order, don't take it as an institutional stance.
Tokenized stocks playing M&A news have slippage more deadly than direction. The 20:00 candle fluctuated $74 up and down; chasing at market price, the spread plus slippage is enough to cover a meal.
My small account won't join the frenzy; chasing in would not even cover the slippage.
#美国中期选举在即，哪些结果值得关注？ $BTC
From 84168 to 77982, the October monthly candle closed at -7.35%. October has been a losing month for two consecutive years.
I skimmed the news and saw that 21shares' Q3 report said the demand structure has changed, with spot ETFs replacing listed companies as the main buyers. I believe that only halfway. Those DAT companies rely on issuing bonds to buy coins, and they stop when interest rates rise; ETFs are driven by subscriptions, so clients buy whenever they want.
But the market hasn't cooperated. BTC is now at 78070, with a 24-hour range from 77600 to 78866, a volatility of 1.62%. The perpetual funding rate is 0.0039%, open interest is 2.61 billion, and no one seems to be running. The news also said Binance's USDT reserves dropped 7.95% in a week, down to 29.48 billion.
The buyers have changed, but money is actually flowing out. These two facts are not contradictory. ETFs don't look at intraday; they follow a monthly subscription rhythm, so using that to explain a 4-hour candle is pointless.
My own judgment: bottoms aren't guessed like this. The so-called Uptober narrative was made up by survivors; after two years of declines, the story no longer holds. With the current volatility, going long or short just pays fees to the exchange.
Let it choose its own direction.
#美国中期选举在即，哪些结果值得关注？ 🔥The biggest fear is not that BTC won't rise, but that the price rises without real buying support!😑 In the past two days, BTC has rebounded from a phase low, and market sentiment has eased somewhat, but Coinbase premium data remains weak: currently at -0.16%, negative premium for 40 consecutive days, with a one-year percentile of only 1.1%.
📉This data signal deserves attention. The price rebound indicates a shift in short-term buying and selling forces, but the premium has not improved in sync, meaning that relative demand in the US spot market has not yet significantly increased. At least from this indicator, this round of rally still lacks strong confirmation from US buyers.
🧭I believe there is no need to rush to conclusions about the market now. Negative premium does not necessarily mean BTC will fall, and a short-term rebound does not mean the trend has reversed. What really matters is whether we can see sustained capital inflows afterward, rather than the market becoming optimistic just because the price occasionally spikes.
Tonight, the focus is on the performance after the US stock market opens: if the premium gradually narrows, it indicates demand may be improving; if it remains deeply negative, beware that the rebound might just be a short-term correction. Do you think we should continue to be bullish now, or wait for capital signals to confirm? #美国中期选举在即，哪些结果值得关注？ $SOL Today's SOL market trend is mainly characterized by "reduced volume oscillation and waiting for a breakout." For traders, patience is more important than prediction. It is recommended to closely monitor the breakout direction in the $93-$96 range and avoid frequent operations that consume principal during narrow oscillations. Long-term holders can ignore short-term fluctuations and focus on the value return brought by ecological development.#Nonfarm Payrolls Incoming, Will December Rate Hike Change? This week, the U.S. market will face a major data release: the October Nonfarm Payroll report. On November 6, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics will publish the October nonfarm employment data. What the market truly focuses on is not just the number of new jobs added, but whether this report will further strengthen the Federal Reserve's rationale for a December rate hike. Why is this nonfarm report so important? 1. The Federal Reserve's stance is shifting On October 28, the Fed kept interest rates at 3.75%–4.00%, but notably, two officials explicitly supported a 25 basis point hike. This indicates that concerns about inflation still exist within the Fed, and the policy focus is shifting from solely emphasizing employment to placing greater importance on inflation risks. Currently, market expectations for a December rate hike have clearly intensified, and the possibility of further monetary tightening cannot be ruled out. 2. Nonfarm data will serve as a key validation Previously, in September, the U.S. added only 29,000 nonfarm jobs, with the unemployment rate steady at 4.2%. If October's job additions rebound significantly while wage growth remains resilient, it would indicate that the U.S. labor market still has support, giving the Fed more reason to maintain a tightening stance or even raise rates further. Conversely, if employment cools noticeably and unemployment rises, expectations for a December rate hike may cool down. 3. What does this mean for BTC and U.S. stocks? I believe the most important focus of this nonfarm report is the changes in the U.S. dollar and U.S. Treasury yields. If the data beats expectations: The dollar may strengthen, U.S. Treasury yields may rise, and the market🤯 Unexpected twist: 97 million tokens stolen, 70% recovered, but holders are even more anxious
On-chain data shows that Core completed a hard fork recovery today, retrieving 68.146 million CORE from three attack addresses, accounting for 70.22% of the total involved.
The key is that there was no transaction rollback, no token minting, and the total supply remains unchanged. Few theft incidents end this cleanly from a technical perspective.
But don’t rush to celebrate: out of 97.0456 million tokens involved, 28.8994 million are still outstanding; the frozen portion is under recovery, and the recovered funds have not yet reached users.
Recovering 70% is a technical victory, but it does not equal compensating 70%. The market prices not how much is recovered, but when it will be credited. A hard fork can change code, but not trust. The remaining 29.78% and the undisclosed refund plan are the real challenges.
Market is weak: BTC 77,888 is grinding between 76,540-80,000; only breaking above 80,000 will be promising; ETH 2,286 is rebounding, with 2,317 as resistance.

On the same night, the Nasdaq dropped 2.86%, and Bitcoin hovered around seventy-eight thousand. My first reaction was: how could gold fall like this? Later I realized. Gold itself is fine; the problem is that someone urgently needs cash. Tech stocks crashed badly that day. Intel fell 28.6% in one day, AMD dropped 10.9%, the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index fell 7.2%, and the Nasdaq has dropped 7.8% since its record high on October 6. Fund net values followed the pullback, and margin calls came in. At this time, fund managers don’t choose "which to sell" but "which can be sold." Gold has the best liquidity, it sells immediately; Bitcoin is open 24/7, the second to be sold. Real estate, private equity, and unlisted shares that are actually held couldn’t move that night. So that night can’t be considered a failure of safe haven. Safe haven assets also queue up; first sell what can be sold. The data makes it clearer. Gold’s record in January this year was 5,595, the lowest on Friday was 3,876, a 30% pullback. Bitcoin dropped from 126,080 to 77,770 this morning, a 37.9% pullback, even deeper than gold. The Nasdaq only pulled back 7.8%. Putting these three numbers together, you know how tight the money is this round—even the line that fell the least was supported by selling gold to get cash. Gold bounced back a bit this morning. The rebound of Bitcoin is very weak; it can't go beyond 78,800 — the market will still face another major drop next.
Binance is now gradually resuming withdrawals. In the past period, there was a net outflow of $3.6 billion, which is now gradually decreasing. People's panic is also easing. What is now missing is an investigation report on Binance; once that is done, this matter will be temporarily settled.
The current market risk signals are: large-scale outflows from BTC and ETH ETFs, especially ETH, which has had daily net outflows for a whole month, and BTC had a single-day outflow of $643 million;
Additionally, the stablecoin market cap is continuously declining, with USDT and USDC combined decreasing by about $1.2 billion.
Both of these are fundamental blows. The basic logic for price increases is: new funds continuously flowing in. But now the situation is the opposite: the main players are withdrawing capital and fleeing.
Under these circumstances, any market rebound can only be the main players using the opportunity to attract retail investors to take over positions while they sell off.
Now is the time to sell spot positions in batches and short on contract rebounds — bottom fishing should wait until Bitcoin starts with a 6.
Anyone urging you to go all-in long is trying to get you to get hit by the lightning together — you should stay away from them. $BTC The market has rebounded, but everyone should note, the bears still dominate!
Chart 1 shows the long and short positions across the entire market; the major coins $BTC $ETH $SOL are all dominated by bears. The hyperliquid top traders are even more extreme, with 80% being bears (Chart 2).
BTC is grinding at the 78,000 round number; above, the 80,500–82,000 range is a resistance zone pressed down by the 20-day moving average, and below, 76,000 overlaps with the 200-day moving average, which is the bulls' last stand.
BTC's RSI has dropped to around 36—not oversold, but indicating no buyers.
ETH is the strongest among the three today, climbing from 2,250 back up to 2,300, leading the rally. But the foundation is still fractured: spot ETF funds retreated 156 million the day before yesterday, while on-chain activity is strengthening but institutions are withdrawing.
This divergence of strong on-chain activity and weak ETF for ETH—if it can't close above 2,300, I consider it a bull trap.
SOL is the dullest today, hovering around 95, RSI at 30.5 is close to oversold, yet no funds are coming in to catch it. SOL is fundamentally strong but was oversold mistakenly; however, it is locked down short-term by macro factors. When risk appetite returns, it should lead; for now, you can accumulate a bit at low levels.
The previous low at 92.3 is a strong support; as long as it holds above 90, there’s not much problem. Oversold conditions could trigger a technical rebound above 100 (7-day moving average) at any time.HYPE at $86, ICE has delivered the invitation right to your face, and you still don't dare to accept?
The parent company of NYSE just signed an agreement with Hyperliquid, HYPE surged 15% approaching 100, now it has pulled back to 86, down 2.5% in 24 hours — is this a retreat to pick up passengers, or has the good news been fully priced in?
Let's look at the surface first: the news exploded, but the price is falling.
On October 29, ICE (the parent company of NYSE) announced the launch of a CFTC-regulated perpetual contract market in the US for retail, based on Hyperliquid's HIP-3 framework. Once the news came out, HYPE immediately surged over 15%, hitting 97.96, just a breath away from ATH. Then? It dropped back to 86. Down 2.5% in 24 hours, with a trading volume of 1.1 billion and a market cap just over 20 billion.
Are you panicking?
Such a big cooperation with ICE, why did it only rise for one day?
First thing: ICE is not here to speculate on coins, it's here to grab territory.
The ICE CEO once said: "Hyperliquid's daily trading volume has already surpassed Nasdaq."
Then they didn't build their own chain, didn't invest in a competitor, but directly used Hyperliquid's technical framework to launch compliant perpetual contracts in the US.
In plain language: Wall Street's oldest exchange is telling the world — the future of on-chain perpetual contracts, I bet on Hyperliquid.
This is not just a "cooperation". This is traditional finance handing DeFi a compliance entry ticket. Whether CFTC approves or not is another matter, but the direction is set.
The same signal appeared in 2020 with Bitcoin ETFs — no one believed it then, but later everyone regretted missing out.
Second thing: the pullback is not bad news, it's the last chance for those who haven't boarded.
First, understand why it fell.
When ICE's news came out, short-term traders rushed in, 15% profit, not running would be foolish. Plus the poor market environment — BTC hovering around 78,000, Fear & Greed index at 37, fear zone, risk assets under pressure overall. No matter how strong HYPE is, it has to catch its breath.
But look at the key level: 85-86, exactly the current price and short-term support.
Below that, 80-82, and further down 76-78 are strong support zones.
As long as 76 doesn't break, the structure is intact.
Also note a detail: the pullback is on low volume. Not a panic sell-off, but normal profit-taking.
What is a healthy pullback? This is it.
Third thing: HYPE's deflationary flywheel is what you should focus on.
ICE's news will be digested, sentiment will fade, but one thing keeps spinning:
For every fee Hyperliquid collects, 99% goes into the Assistance Fund, which automatically buys back HYPE and burns it.
30-day revenue exceeds $65 million, with daily fees around $1.5 million. The value of HYPE already bought back and burned is in the billions.
Compare this:
Most L1s talk about deflation as "will burn in the future."
HYPE's deflation is real money buying on the market every day.
Arthur Hayes calls for 150, not because of ICE, but because he calculated clearly: as long as Hyperliquid remains the king of perpetual contracts, this flywheel won't stop.
Bull vs. bear, you decide:
On one side:
ICE cooperation, compliance narrative ceiling opened
If CFTC approves, US retail market direct access
Deflationary flywheel continues, $65 million+ revenue in 30 days
Pullback on low volume, strong support at 76-78 intact
Only 12% from ATH, price discovery after breakout
On the other side:
CFTC approval uncertain, may fluctuate before landing
BTC market weak, Fear & Greed 37
Recent contributor unlocks, selling pressure exists
Whale movements unstable, some top traders turning bearish
If 86 doesn't hold, may retest 76-78
Key levels
Resistance above: 88-90 → 93-95 → 97-98 (ATH) → 100
Support below: 85-86 (current) → 80-82 → 76-78 (iron bottom)
Trading strategy
Short-term players:
Light long positions at 85-86, stop loss at 83-84, first target 88-90, sell half at target. Stop if volume surges below 85, wait to buy again at 76-78. Leverage no more than 3-5x, watch for liquidation on perpetuals.
Mid-term players:
Build positions gradually in 76-82 range, stop loss below 70, target retest 98, breakout target 110-120. Keep position size 5-10% of total funds, don't go all in.
Long-term believers:
Hold core positions. If ICE + CFTC really land, HYPE's ceiling is not 100, but the traditional finance perpetual contract market. But remember: news-driven coins are volatile, don't chase highs, don't go full, survival is key to catch the main uptrend.
ICE has delivered the compliance invitation to Hyperliquid's door, CFTC hasn't signed yet, and you're already scared to hand over your chips.
Before Bitcoin ETF passed in 2020, 99% thought "regulation won't come."
When it did, the train had already left.
$BTC $ETH $HYPE #PalantirQ3Valuation
Palantir’s valuation has skyrocketed to a dangerous 100x+ forward P/E, making any post-earnings correction highly likely. Wall Street's expectations are so massive that just meeting targets won't cut it anymore. Even a tiny dip in corporate client growth will trigger a massive sell-off by big fund managers rushing to lock in profits, sending the stock crashing.
$PLTR On the US stock side, there are already 50 companies "boycotting" OKXICE's stock tokenization, including giants like Nvidia, Walmart, and Micron.
The reason is actually quite awkward; it's not that they truly oppose tokenization, but OKXICE is too focused on compliance.
Robinhood, bStocks, Dinari, xStocks basically have no formal objection process; they either operate offshore for risk avoidance or simply hold traditional brokerage licenses.
OKXICE, on the other hand, insists on a 30-day written objection window, where sending a letter costs nothing and can definitely block it.
It's like everyone else is dating casually, but OKXICE, the honest one, insists on a formal marriage before getting intimate. As a result, on the wedding night, 50 fathers-in-law welded the door shut...The old hands on $BTC Hyperliquid are no longer pretending.
PCE just landed, and the previously easy-earning long whales immediately dumped 1,200 BTC long positions and took off full.
Then you see another giant whale ramping up BTC short positions to $125 million, making it the largest short position on the entire chain.
The main force just pulled out their ladder, and billions in funds immediately capped the top.
The market is clearly laid out like this, yet some stubbornly think it's just a shakeout—it's purely rushing to provide liquidity to others.

👇The market was super quiet the night before the election, but I actually think this kind of quiet is the most frightening.....
Last Friday, BTC spot ETF had a net outflow of $643 million, the largest day since June. The OKX long-short account ratio is still 2.26, but the large holders' long-short ratio is only 0.92, leaning bearish. Retail investors are rushing in, while big players are hiding!?
The US midterm election results will probably start coming out Wednesday morning (Taiwan time). I’m watching the 76,326 level—if it breaks below, better step aside; if it holds above 78,878, then look toward 81,971 🤣
#美國期中選舉在即，哪些結果值得關注？ Wow, where did such a bold whale/institution come from?! Over $42.4 million worth of $ETH heavily bought on-chain in two hours 😲
Address 0x9Ec…15547 bought 18,643.42 ETH on-chain in the past 2 hours at an average price of $2274, and is still continuously buying in batches. Its USDC funding sources are Kraken and Crypto.com, ownership is currently unclear
Address 0x9EcA05D78f6751C91Ab048858b7d21a67C015547$BTC has been stuck around 78,000 for a whole day. ETFs ran off with 640 million USD last Friday. The fear and greed index is still at 34 in the fear zone, but the whales quietly increased their holdings to 3.03 million coins. ETFs are selling, big players are buying, and both sides are at odds. For $ETH, someone really put real money down: one address spent 62.97 million USD in 5 hours to buy 27,553 coins at an average price of 2,286, which is much more straightforward than BTC's side.
The A-share market saw both volume and price rise today. The ChiNext Index closed up 1.87%, with a turnover of 1.78 trillion, over 100 billion more than last Friday. AI manga drama concepts hit the 20% daily limit in batches, with Jieting and Mango Excellent Media fully locked up. Baijiu and big financial sectors also joined the rally, with over a hundred stocks hitting the daily limit.
The Hong Kong Hang Seng Tech Index surged 2.85% by midday. Xiaomi and CATL rose over 6%, and tech stocks collectively recovered. In pre-market US trading, semiconductors are also adjusting; SK Hynix rose nearly 5%, $NVDA up 1.47%, Nasdaq futures up 0.84%, but oil prices crashed over 4%. Money is chasing tech while avoiding commodities, which is quite contradictory.#AMD Earnings Preview: HeliosAI System Commercialization Progress
The leader has something to say
AMD will release its Q3 earnings after the US market close on November 3rd; this was covered today, so no repetition.
Today AMD rose slightly by 0.25%, xAMD up 0.16%, with funds mostly on the sidelines.
The core issue now is macro deleveraging. Yesterday, the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index plunged 7.2%, and tech stocks were indiscriminately sold off. Even if AMD's earnings are outstanding and the Helios system commercialization goes smoothly, as long as the overall environment is liquidity contraction, funds will use positive news as an opportunity to sell. So, don't just look at whether earnings beat expectations; see if it can withstand macro selling pressure.
Bitcoin fell below 77,000 last night and is still grinding below. Watch if it can reclaim 80,000. If it can't hold, expect deeper corrections, with resistance between 84,000 and 85,000 above. Don't chase the rally or panic sell; set your stop losses properly.
The above analysis is time-sensitive; always set your stop losses. Good luck. $BTC $ETH $SOL SOXL The most expensive one didn't accomplish anything, the cheapest one took two bearish candles.
09:00 Spent 316,000 contracts rushing to 82.52, closed at 80.32, upper/lower shadows 2.15/0.51 — the biggest money was trapped on both ends, wasted effort. 11:00 Spent another 113,000 contracts to grind up to 82.93.
The whole afternoon went down: 14:00 118,000 contracts smashed from 82.68 to 81.16, 15:00 136,000 contracts, 18:00 123,000 contracts, sent back to 80.26.
20:00 These sixteen minutes were different: 130,000 contracts first dipped to 79.84 then pulled back to 81.84, closed at 81.67, one candle absorbed the two bearish candles from 18:00 and 19:00, even more than the entire 18:00 hour.
Don't chase highs, wait for pullbacks:
· Buy at 80.20~80.45 around 80.35, stop loss 79.65 (if broken, it's a false rebound), targets 82.12/82.93, odds 2.5/3.7

(Not investment advice, trade at your own risk)Iran has laid its cards on the table. The conditions are straightforward: the U.S. must meet its demands, the Strait of Hormuz must reopen within two days, and nuclear negotiations must resume simultaneously. There are no detailed terms, just these two sentences.
What’s worth pondering is the timing. This strait controls a significant portion of the world’s seaborne crude oil routes and has been a looming risk over the market for some time. Now that Iran is proactively saying it can open, it indicates it needs an outlet rather than wanting a head-on confrontation.
The mechanism is not hard to infer. Reopening the strait removes the worst-case supply scenario, causing oil price premiums to retreat first, inflation expectations to ease, and risk asset discount rates to relax. The transmission to the crypto market usually isn’t an immediate surge but a stopgap—BTC is no longer seen as the sole liquidity ATM, allowing ETH and SOL room for repricing.
But there is a premise to this chain: the U.S. must accept it. So far, there has been no confirmation from the U.S. side, and the negotiations are still dragging on. So what we see now is an "intention," not a "result." Intentions can be priced in but cannot be treated as a factual transaction.
From another perspective, this situation exposes the crypto market’s current vulnerability: its ups and downs increasingly depend on whether a waterway in the Middle East opens or not. Previously, we watched the Federal Reserve; now we have to watch the Strait of Hormuz. This kind of external dependency is itself a risk exposure.
Conclusion: The news is positive but not finalized. BTC can be slightly bullish, but positions shouldn’t be heavy; ETH, SOL, and others with confirmed signals are more worthwhile than chasing rebounds.Regarding $ETH, let's talk about the short-term outlook. The short-term daily chart still looks bearish. A specific reversal might occur around the non-farm payroll data on November 6th. The November 6th non-farm data will determine whether the Fed will raise interest rates this year. Also, a quick mention about the US tech companies investing in AI: these leading tech giants in the US have poured in hundreds of billions, and you tell me, all that effort just produced a short drama called "Red Fruit"? Who can hold up under that? If I throw a few stones into a river, I can still see splashes, but these US tech companies have invested hundreds of billions and so far, there’s no substantial return. So the AI path is almost over. If AI crashes and drags down storage, then there might be a possibility of funds flowing back into crypto and Huobi. Therefore, it's still best to stay out of positions in the short term.Previously, the market was debating "whether AI is truly a revolution," but now with S&P downgrading Meta's outlook and BlackRock saying Anthropic won't get investment-grade status, the focus of the debate has shifted — it's no longer about how big your AI story is, but whether you can still borrow money and if you can afford to borrow it.
The qualitative debate is over. AI is real, no one denies that. But a true revolution and the ability to repay debt are two different things. Rating agencies are now looking at the numbers: Meta's free cash flow has turned negative for the first time, its leverage ratio may exceed 1.0x next year, Anthropic has signed a 637 billion compute power agreement, with 431 billion as mandatory expenditure — these are not "AI prospects" issues, but questions of "can cash flow cover rigid expenses."
The implication of this shift is that once financing ability becomes the main theme, valuation logic changes. Previously, premiums were based on growth rates; now it's about how long the balance sheet can hold up. As financing costs rise, the room to cut prices to increase volume narrows; when space narrows and revenue can't keep up with expenses, refinancing is needed; if refinancing conditions are poor, capital expenditures must be cut. The entire chain is tied to "money" from start to finish, regardless of how strong AI itself is.
So this S&P downgrade and BlackRock's statement, on the surface, concern two companies, but in reality, they have set a new standard for the entire AI sector. The story has been told; now it's time to look at the books. Semiconductors are almost numb from the drop; will there be a sudden big rebound in November?
The tech stock sell-off in the US market in October was indeed brutal. $SOXL has retraced over 50% from its peak, and $AMD has also dropped 22%. Many have already started bottom-fishing, but I think what we need to observe most now is how much selling pressure is still unreleased in the market.
I've been watching US Treasury yields recently. The 10-year Treasury yield has fallen from 5.29% to 4.94%, which is good news for tech stocks. After all, the higher the interest rate, the lower the market is willing to value growth stocks.
What I’m more looking forward to in November are the earnings reports from AMD$ and Nvidia.
These two companies can be said to be important indicators for the AI market. Especially AMD, which has already dropped so much; as long as the data center business performs well and future guidance is not significantly downgraded, I think there is reason for capital to re-enter.
$SOXL has already been halved, indicating that leveraged funds are undergoing a round of cleansing. The question is whether these funds have completely exited?
My view is that the probability of a rebound in November is not low, but the truly worthwhile opportunities to participate may have to wait until the market flushes out the last batch of eager bottom-fishers.
As long as US Treasuries don’t break above 5% again, and AMD and NVDA’s earnings expectations hold steady, I remain optimistic about the semiconductor recovery trend ahead.
Right now, I’d rather earn less in the first phase than get trapped again by bottom-fishing too early.
#US stocks and gold & silver fall sharply together, with a divergence in safe-haven capital flows Capital expenditures are high, but free cash flow is negative. Squeezed from both ends, the gap in the middle can only be filled by external funding. Anthropic signed a 637 billion computing power procurement agreement, with 431 billion as mandatory minimum spending — this money must be paid regardless of whether customers pay or not, once the contract is signed. However, its revenue in the first half of the year was only 16.2 billion, mainly supported by the top 1% of customers, and enterprise adoption rate has already plateaued as of September. Whether the revenue side can cover the expenditure side is itself a big question mark.
This creates a typical mismatch: money is spent according to ambitions for 2045, while revenue is earned quarterly in real time. Capital expenditure is rigid, long-term, and contractually committed; free cash flow is negative, volatile, and dependent on customers. The whole middle relies on financing to survive. Blackstone says it is very unlikely to get an investment-grade rating upon listing, and the reason is here — rating agencies look at your ability to repay, not how big your story is.
What’s more troublesome is that this mismatch will self-reinforce. When financing costs rise, prices must be cut to boost volume and revenue; cutting prices to boost volume thins profit margins; thinner margins mean free cash flow can’t be filled; without filling it, dependence on financing grows. This cycle returns to the starting point, tightening more and more.
So you see, the term "mismatch" is apt. It’s not that growth is too slow, but that the rhythm of spending and earning money is out of sync. The real risk in this round of AI spending is not on the demand side, but whether the balance sheet can hold out until revenue catches up.#Perspectives of Palantir's Financial Report: Can High Growth Sustain the High Valuation? This message is cooling down the seasonal bullish sentiment, and still using "October should rise" as a judgment, which I think goes against the current trend. According to Cointelegraph, Bitcoin fell 7.3% in October 2026, marking two consecutive years of October declines, and analysts are reassessing seasonal signals.
I have three principles for trend analysis: price weighs more than the calendar—no matter how strong historical returns are, they can't outweigh the actual decline this time; downgrade signals when they fail—after two consecutive years of misses, seasonal patterns can no longer be the main basis; don't treat a local event as the whole picture—a single month's decline is not enough to confirm a long-term bearish trend. For me, this feels more like a correction in the judgment method, not a final verdict on the market outlook.
The trend is the best friend. I will continue to watch whether the price can establish a sustained direction, without patching it up with the calendar or guessing the bottom based on one month's decline.Anthropic's revenue growth of 1300% in the first half of the year is real, but there's a mismatch here: rapid revenue growth doesn't mean customers will keep spending like this.
The market looks big, but it's actually hollow. The top 1% of enterprise clients contribute nearly half of the B2B spending; only a small handful are truly paying. Enterprise adoption rate has plateaued by September, new client acquisition has slowed, so future growth depends on existing clients spending more—how long can that last?
Moreover, this growth is driven by price cuts. Token prices have been halved year-over-year, revenue went up, but the pressure on computing power costs hasn't eased at all. The real killer is the 2045 line: they've signed computing power purchase agreements worth $637 billion, of which $431 billion is mandatory minimum spending—whether clients pay or not, Anthropic has to cover these costs. The prospectus itself admits that a new round of financing may be needed earlier than expected.
So how long can clients keep paying? It depends on two things: whether that top 1% of big clients will cut budgets, and how long the game of trading price cuts for volume can continue. BlackRock has already hinted that Anthropic is unlikely to get an investment-grade rating after going public. Even lenders think the books don't add up; can clients' willingness to pay really last until 2045? Few dare to bet on that.#非农来袭，12月加息会否生变？ After the rebound, short positions dominate, is there an imbalance in market liquidity?
Bottom-fishing funds push prices up, Hyperliquid has 80% of trading accounts short, and sell orders continue to accumulate in the upper range.
BTC oscillates around 78000, with significantly higher resistance thickness between 80500 and 82000.
ETH shows an independent rebound, standing above 2300, but ETF funds outflow 156 million, with on-chain and institutional fund flows diverging.
Open the order book and compare the scale of orders near 76000.
The buy order thickness at the 76000 level is a key benchmark for this round of liquidity structure.
$BTC $ETH $SOL 🔥ETH's current rebound has gained momentum, but the real test is still at $2350! 😎 On Saturday, we mentioned that as long as ETH holds around 2260, there is a chance to retest 2300. Now that the price has risen above 2300, it indicates that the previous support judgment has been somewhat validated, and the short-term trend has clearly improved compared to a few days ago.
📈 From the 4-hour structure perspective, ETH previously dipped to around 2171 before stopping its decline and rebounding, and it has now reclaimed 2300. However, the 2350–2370 range is a dense resistance zone where multiple rebounds were previously blocked, so we cannot assume a trend reversal just because the price has warmed up. Whether it can break through and hold this area with volume will determine if the rebound has room to extend further.
🧭 In terms of trading, I will focus on 2260–2280. If the price dips back to this area and shows signs of stopping the decline, consider building positions gradually; if it rushes directly to around 2350 but fails to break through for a long time, avoid blindly chasing the rally.
⚠️ This week is packed with macro news: the U.S. midterm elections on November 3, and the October nonfarm payroll data release on November 6, which may affect market expectations for the Fed's December rate policy. Meanwhile, ETH spot ETFs have seen net outflows for five consecutive weeks, and institutional capital inflow signals remain unclear.
Therefore, it is currently more appropriate to view this as an oversold rebound rather than a complete trend reversal. Tonight, keep an eye on the performance around 2350. Do you think ETH can break through in one go, or will it need to pull back and gather strength? #美国中期选举在即，哪些结果值得关注？ On X, the current discussion is: Since 2026, no newly born meme coin has reached a $1 billion market cap. CoinGecko's meme sector is about $28 billion, with DOGE alone around $11.8 billion, roughly accounting for 40%; the old coins' market is still there, but evidence of new coins breaking out is currently lacking. Money is still parked in old coins, which doesn't mean a new cycle has started; the opposing view is that once old coins pull back, they will make room for new coins. Neither side has been disproven yet, so don't rush to take sides. If within the next month a meme coin born in 2026 stabilizes above $1 billion, then consider this a phase turning point; if the sector's market cap shrinks further and DOGE's share continues to rise, then postpone the "new coin breakout" narrative and don't mistake old coins recovering as a new story taking hold. Snapshot around 20:08 Beijing time, spot price about $0.075, 24h approximately -0.5%. First, see if the market cap structure loosens, then discuss who will ignite the next round.

#DOGE #Meme #Cryptocurrency 🔥BTC's recent pullback may not be a trend reversal but more likely a reshuffling of macro expectations! Currently, the price is fluctuating around $78,000, having failed to hold above $80,000 after breaking through it some time ago. Meanwhile, last Friday saw a net outflow of about $643 million from the US spot BTC ETF, marking the largest single-day outflow since June 25, which has indeed impacted short-term capital sentiment.
📊 But don't just focus on the single-day figures. The ETF's cumulative net inflow still stands at around $57.4 billion, so a single-day outflow does not mean all previous long-term allocations have been withdrawn. More importantly, watch the next few trading days to see if the outflows continue or if net inflows reappear after the market stabilizes. A large redemption is worth noting but not enough alone to prove a trend reversal.
🗓️ The data window in November is also critical: Non-farm payrolls on the 6th, CPI on the 10th, PPI on the 13th, and on the 25th, PCE and the second GDP estimate. Previously, stronger inflation data pushed the dollar and US Treasury yields higher, affecting market expectations for rate cuts and putting pressure on BTC. If upcoming data again exceeds expectations, volatility could further increase.
🧭 My strategy remains to keep pace without chasing highs or trying to catch bottoms. Dollar-cost averaging can spread purchases over time, reducing the pressure of timing the market all at once, but this requires reasonable capital planning and manageable position sizes. Do you think this round of pullback will stabilize around $78,000, or should we wait for macro data to provide direction? #美国中期选举在即，哪些结果值得关注？ The phrase "AI immune to high interest rates" essentially confuses industry trends with valuation logic. AI is a true revolution, that's undeniable, but a revolution doesn't mean stock prices can ignore discount rates. In a high interest rate environment, future cash flows discounted back shrink in value—this is math, not faith. The market now treats AI as a get-out-of-jail-free card, similar to the 2000 era when people said "the internet changes everything, so valuations don't matter."
What’s more worth pondering is the phrase "the late stage of a bubble is often filled with fantasies." Looking back, every bubble peak had a self-consistent narrative—2000 was "new economy doesn’t need profits," 2007 was "housing prices will always rise," and now it’s "AI is immune to high interest rates." The more perfect the narrative, the more it seems like an excuse to prop up valuations.
Of course, this doesn’t mean AI is fake, nor that a crash is imminent. True revolutions and true bubbles can coexist; railroads and the internet both went through this path. But swapping "industry truth" for "valuation stability" is where the fantasy begins. With S&P downgrading Meta’s outlook to negative and OpenAI’s funding cut by billions, these signals together indicate that the number crunchers have already started entering the market.#Meta信用展望转负，AI投资信用风险受关注
S&P has changed Meta's AA- rating outlook from stable to negative, with a straightforward reason: AI is burning money too fiercely, and its monetization ability is significantly weaker than its peers.
The data is right here. In Q3, free cash flow was negative 2.12 billion, while it was positive 10.6 billion in the same period last year, turning negative for the first time. The full-year capital expenditure guidance is 135 to 145 billion, with plans to increase further in 2027. S&P predicts Meta's leverage ratio may exceed 1.0x next year, up from just 0.1x last year. Even more painful, S&P has directly withdrawn its expectation of turning a profit by 2028, now forecasting free cash flow will still be negative 39 billion in 2028.
A Meta spokesperson said they disagree with S&P's judgment on monetization ability, but the market is clearly siding with S&P. The stock price fell 15% in October, the worst single month in four years.
The key issue is not just Meta alone. The critical point S&P made is "monetization ability weaker than peers" — Microsoft can rent computing power to make money, Google has cloud business support, Meta's AI investment is mainly dressing up ad recommendations, and the story of independent monetization doesn't hold. Rating agencies are starting to look at AI spending with a calculating eye, which is more worth noting than a few days of stock price drops.$XAUT
Observation: Gold dropped 3.6% in a single day last Friday, hitting a one-year low, and today it only recovered 0.7%
The Nasdaq 100 fell 3.47% last Friday, tech and AI stocks were sold off, funds sold gold to cover other losses, spot gold dropped to the lowest since October 2025
Today's slight rebound is supported by oil prices; Iran and Qatar have been negotiating for three consecutive days, oil prices fell more than 3%, easing inflation concerns, and the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding gold is also decreasing
XAUT current price is 3898.3, up 0.57% in 24 hours, intraday range 3872.4 to 3913.2, turnover of 12.1 million USD, still down 2.45% over 7 days, about 170 USD below the weekly high of 4069.7
I see this more as a technical correction; safe-haven buying hasn't truly returned. Tomorrow is the US midterm election, and Friday is the non-farm payrolls report. If tech stocks fall again, gold will likely be sold off first to raise cash
The intraday low of 3872 almost coincides with the 7-day low of 3873.3; if this level doesn't hold, it will be a new low.
#美股与金银同步大跌，避险资金流向分化 SOL dropped from 95.89 at 11:00, moving through eight 1H candles, seven of which were bearish.
The bearish candles are shortening: at 17:00 it fell 0.31, at 18:00 it fell 0.13, at 19:00 it fell 0.11, with volume shrinking from 261,000 to 222,000 contracts. Selling pressure has indeed weakened, but it refuses to disappear—none of the eight candles closed above 94.60.
At 20:00, only 51,800 contracts were used in twenty minutes to pull the price from 94.01 up to 94.44, recovering all the losses from 19:00. Compared to the 456,000 contracts spent pushing to 95.89 during the day, this move is suspiciously light: whether it’s absorption or short covering depends on if it can hold above 94.45.
Conditions set:
· 1H close above 94.93 → long at 94.95, stop loss at 94.45, targets at 95.89/96.30, risk-reward 1.9/2.7
· Breaking 93.73 short with only 1.4 risk-reward, not taking; wait until 93.08 breaks to consider
Current price 94.44, -0.83%, right at MA20.

(Not investment advice, trade at your own risk) 🔥Behind BTC's rebound, there may be a hidden concern that many have overlooked! The price has indeed risen these past two days, but the Coinbase premium hasn't given a matching signal.😑 The current premium rate is -0.16%, remaining negative for 40 consecutive days, with a one-year percentile as low as 1.1%. The relative buying pressure in the US spot market still appears weak.
📊 What really makes me cautious is not just the prolonged negative premium, but that after the price rebound, the indicators still haven't shown obvious recovery. The market can rely on short covering, short-term trading, and sentiment to push a rebound, but to develop the rebound into a sustained rise, genuine spot demand is ultimately needed to take over.
⚠️ Of course, the Coinbase premium is only a reference indicator for observing US market demand and cannot solely determine BTC's direction. Its continued negativity doesn't mean the price will immediately turn down. But when price and capital signals fail to resonate, chasing highs requires more caution.
Tonight, I will continue to watch the changes after the US stock market opens, focusing on whether the premium can gradually recover from the negative range. If the price keeps rising but the capital indicators remain stagnant, this rebound may need more time to be validated. When do you think US-based capital will truly return? #美国中期选举在即，哪些结果值得关注？ The SOL spot ETF saw a net withdrawal of about $71.47 million last week, marking the largest single-week outflow since its listing, hovering around 94 without catching the falling knife.
According to SoSoValue data, from 10/26 to 10/30, the US stock market's spot SOL ETF had a net outflow of approximately $71.47 million.
Bitwise BSOL was about -$45.82 million, Grayscale GSOL about -$25.71 million, marking the fourth consecutive week of net withdrawals.
The price has been falling for about five consecutive weeks, near $94 on Monday.
The ETF's total net assets are about $1.4 billion, roughly 2.5% of SOL's market cap.
My view: Institutions are reducing positions in SOL rather than bottom-fishing; the cash flow is more honest than slogans.
Before the weekly chart stabilizes, any rebound looks more like pressure relief than a trend reversal.
My approach: Observe without chasing or catching the falling knife.
Wait for a stable break above around $100 accompanied by a positive net inflow in the ETF.
If it falls below about $90 or large net withdrawals continue next week, this observation strategy fails.
Do you believe "the clearing is over" or "there will be another big drop"?

#Solana #CryptoMarket🔥BTC is rising, but it seems that US funds are not yet ready to follow! This is the most noteworthy aspect of the current market.😑 In the past two days, BTC has rebounded significantly from the lows, but the Coinbase premium rate still remains at -0.16%, with 40 consecutive days of negative premium and a one-year percentile of only 1.1%, indicating that relative buying demand in the US spot market is still not strong enough.
📊 Normally, if a rebound is supported by sustained spot demand, the premium indicator would also improve to some extent. But this time, the price moved first, and the premium did not show obvious recovery, resulting in a clear divergence between the two.
⚠️ This does not mean BTC is about to fall immediately, nor can the end of the market be judged by a single indicator. From the perspective of capital structure, there is still a lack of a confirmation signal that can reassure the bulls. Especially after the previous pullback, the market needs new funds to continuously take over, rather than just relying on short-term sentiment to push the price higher.
Tonight, I will focus on observing the premium changes after the US stock market opens. If the premium starts to warm up, the quality of the rebound will be worth reassessing; if the price continues to rise but the premium remains low, be cautious of insufficient momentum after the surge. Do you value price trends more, or spot fund signals? #美国中期选举在即，哪些结果值得关注？ 🔥BTC has rebounded, but the truly worrisome signals have not disappeared yet!😑 The price has clearly risen from the lows in the past two days, but the Coinbase premium index still hasn't caught up. Currently, the premium rate is -0.16%, remaining negative for 40 consecutive days, with a one-year percentile as low as 1.1%. This data indeed looks unfavorable.
📉 More importantly, the price increase hasn't brought about a synchronous recovery in the premium. In other words, BTC's market appears to be warming up, but the relative buying power in the US spot market remains weak. At least for now, there is no clear sign of significant capital entering the US market to take over.
🧐 I'm not overly optimistic about tonight's rebound for the time being. After the previous round of decline, for the market to resume a sustained rise, short-term funds alone are not enough; more stable spot demand support is needed.
Next, focus on two signals: whether the Coinbase premium can continue to rise, and whether new buying interest emerges after the US stock market opens. If the price keeps rising but the premium fails to recover, be cautious of a rebound lacking momentum. Do you think this rise is a genuine bottoming, or just another short-term bull trap? #美国中期选举在即，哪些结果值得关注？ Talking about $NEAR tonight. As of 20:05 Beijing time on November 2, NEAR is trending on CoinGecko's hot search list, with OKX spot price at $4.133, down about 5.6% in 24h (range 4.075–4.41), total network 24h trading volume about $445 million, down about 9.9% over 7 days.
The hype comes from two things: first, the House of Stake's HSP-029 proposal voting is scheduled to end today, proposing to gradually reduce the maximum annual issuance from 2.5% to 1.6% over 24 months; second, the network upgrade on November 4 (nearcore 2.14.0, removing contract gas refunds), with MEXC and Bithumb already announcing suspension of deposits and withdrawals at that time.
My view: reducing issuance is good for holders who do not stake, but passing the vote is only the first step; validators still need to upgrade, plus a 90-day buffer period before it truly takes effect. In the short term, it feels more like a sentiment-driven topic. The price weakened before the news materialized, indicating the market values actual usage and whether fees can support the valuation more. I will first watch the voting results and whether the upgrade goes smoothly, then see if the $4 level can hold.#美伊谈判推进，霍尔木兹重开方案受关注
"US-Iran Talks Progress, Strait of Hormuz Reopening Plan Draws Attention"
There have been reports in the past two days about a plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, but Iran is making the unfreezing of funds and lifting of sanctions preconditions, and the two sides have not yet reached an agreement.
The current shipping volume through the strait is only half of what it was before the war. Brent crude oil is capped at $117.64, and OPEC's actual daily production is still 3 million barrels short.
After BTC dropped to $77,000 on high volume, today's trading volume shrank to $267 million with sideways movement, as funds are waiting to see how the negotiation outcomes will materialize. $BTC [50 Listed Companies Say "No" to OKXICE Stock Tokenization: The Battle Over Consent Rights for Securities RWA]
The stock tokenization sector has encountered its first real "issuer pushback." OKX, in partnership with Intercontinental Exchange (ICE, the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange), launched the tokenized stock trading platform OKXICE TSV, originally planning to bring the stocks of 62 U.S. listed companies onto the blockchain for 24/7 trading. However, according to issuer objection notices released by the platform, 50 companies have explicitly opposed this—exceeding 80% of the planned list.
The quality of the list has been upgrading batch by batch. On October 15, the first batch of objecting companies numbered 9; around October 28, Walmart, Eli Lilly, Cigna, Carnival, and others joined, bringing the total to 38; in the latest notice on October 30, Nvidia, Nike, Costco, Micron Technology, and Reddit were new additions, totaling 50. At this point, industry leaders such as Microsoft, Alphabet, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, AMD, Intel, Coca-Cola, and McDonald's are all included—almost covering the highest market cap and most retail-investor-followed U.S. companies.
The mechanism is more worth reading than the list. OKXICE relies on the "innovation exemption" framework previously introduced by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC): after the platform notifies issuers, if there is no objection within 30 days, it is deemed approved—silence equals consent. This design originally aimed to provide regulatory experimental space for tokenization innovation, but the side effect is that the "cost of silence" is placed on the issuers: if they do not actively object, their stocks will be tokenized on-chain. Three media outlets emphasized another precise detail in their reports: the issuers' objections only apply to the single trading venue OKXICE and do not equate to opposing stock tokenization itself—the wording nuance shows this is a "boundary-setting" rather than a "declaration of war."
The essence of this matter is the consent right issue that securities RWA cannot avoid. Previous tokenization narratives mostly focused on technology and liquidity: on-chain, 7×24 trading, divisibility, composability. But stocks are not stablecoins; their underlying rights are defined by corporate law and listing agreements, and issuers have substantive say over "where and in what form their stocks are traded." The collective objection of 50 companies indicates that without resolving "who has the right to decide," the ceiling for securities tokenization will be firmly capped. This fissure is more decisive for the sector's real progress than any TVL figure.
Meanwhile, another route is quietly diverging. Also involving stock tokenization, the issuer-participatory, licensed institution route (represented by Figure Markets, whose trading platform TVL grew 18.4% against the trend to $142 million on November 2) has encountered no pushback—because the issuers themselves are participants. The "act first, report later" approach of the exchange route contrasts sharply with the "issuer co-creation" approach of the licensed route this week.
What to watch next: ① The choices of the remaining 12 companies that have not expressed opinions—their silence under the 30-day mechanism equals consent; ② Whether the SEC will patch the "deemed approval without objection" mechanism—the scale of issuer pushback is already large enough to trigger rule revision discussions; ③ Whether OKXICE will adjust the launch list or timeline; ④ Issuers' own moves on tokenization (building their own platforms, investing in licensed venues)—companies on the objection list may become the next batch of licensed-route initiators.Nearly $880 million worth of tokens to be unlocked this week, will altcoins face selling pressure again?
At the start of November, there's something worth noting in the altcoin market.
According to BeInCrypto citing Tokenomist data today, over $879.9 million worth of tokens are expected to unlock this week.
Among them, BTW is expected to unlock 101.63 million tokens on November 2, KITE is expected to unlock 640 million tokens on November 3. HYPE plans to release 180,000 tokens on November 6.
Interestingly, HYPE's original planned unlock amount was larger, but the team promised to release only 180,000 tokens this time.
I think there's a frequently overlooked issue here: many people studying altcoins only look at how much the price has dropped, but rarely pay attention to how many tokens are about to enter circulation.
Of course, unlocking does not mean immediate selling. Teams, investors, and ecosystem funds receiving tokens may not sell right away. The related quantities for BTW and KITE are also still subject to verification and prediction.
But if the newly circulating supply keeps increasing while buying demand does not grow correspondingly, prices naturally tend to face pressure.
Now, when researching altcoins, you can't just listen to the project's story; you also need to see who holds the tokens and when they can sell.
#Altcoins #HYPE #KITE #TokenUnlock #CryptoMarket I've never quite understood: there's a company whose main business is clearly buying Bitcoin, yet the analyst's target price is 27% higher than the current price.
Mizuho says the Strategy is worth $165, currently at $130. The reason is they hold 848,500 $BTC, with a net leverage of only 2.4%, and $5.1 billion in cash on hand enough to last 3.4 years. In plain language: they won't be forced to sell coins in the short term.
But in the same report, there's also a sentence saying that the amount of Bitcoin per share has decreased by 3.7% this year. The total amount is increasing, but the Bitcoin per share is shrinking. They are buying coins while issuing shares, slowly diluting the old shareholders' stake.
So, are they really buying coins, or just passing the bag to others? I haven't figured it out myself.$ETH
Ethereum's scaling strategy increasingly relies on expanding capacity through its Layer-2 ecosystem. This creates an interesting economic question: as more transactions move to secondary networks, how much value ultimately flows back to Ethereum itself? Network security, settlement demand, blob usage and ETH's monetary economics will all shape this relationship over time.Superman 100U Dollar-Cost Averaging $BTC | Day 80
BTC is currently fluctuating around 78,000. After briefly surpassing 80,000 recently, it started to pull back. The spot ETF saw a net outflow of 640 million in a single day last Thursday, the largest single-day outflow since June this year.
November is packed with macro data: Nonfarm Payrolls on the 6th, CPI on the 10th, PCE on the 13th, and at the end of the month, there will be PCE and the second GDP revision. These data sets directly affect the market’s pricing of the pace of interest rate cuts.
The previous round of CPI and PCE data was stronger than expected, pushing up the dollar and US Treasury yields, which pressured BTC. This recent pullback is essentially digesting macro expectations rather than a fundamental shift.
The single-day ETF outflow shouldn’t be overinterpreted; institutions reduce positions when the market weakens and return funds once it stabilizes, which is routine. The overall cumulative net inflow still hovers around 57 billion, and single outflows are more about short-term sentiment rather than a trend reversal.
At the same time, gold ETFs have also seen funds switching back and forth, with capital rotating repeatedly between safe-haven and risk assets. BTC remains tied to the macro mainline.
The advantage of dollar-cost averaging lies in such chaotic markets. Don’t try to guess the bottom or wait for data to land before buying. Volatility will definitely increase around Nonfarm Payrolls and CPI, so continuous buying is key to lowering the average holding cost.
At this stage, continue executing the dollar-cost averaging plan.
#AMD财报前瞻：HeliosAI系统商业化进展 *Geopolitical + Pre-election Game:* Iran proposes a two-day plan to switch to US-Iran talks, WTI breaks 101, Brent crude breaks 110, BTC returns to 78,000, and US stocks rebound individually. It is uncertain whether Trump will push for peace talks before the election; the market worries that military action may resume after the midterm elections.
If military action is limited to airstrikes, it is unlikely to change the situation significantly, so oil price gains will be limited; ground troops carry high risks. If tensions ease, oil prices will fall, benefiting risk assets. Proceed with caution.
*Positions:* Short oil with a 4-month high fee rate but continue holding; reduce positions to prevent blowups if things get out of control after the election, waiting for the 18-19 APEC; Google long at 280 is cost-effective, exit opportunistically if the conflict escalates. The stock price of a company is now being traded as a leveraged proxy for Bitcoin. Mizuho reiterates its rating that Strategy will outperform the market, with a target price of $165, which is 27% higher than the current price of $130. The numbers are not surprising; what’s surprising is that the reasons given have nothing to do with selling software.
The first point is holdings. 848,517 $BTC — this scale is no longer just a company asset allocation but a holding tool disguised as a listed company. Buying its stock is equivalent to buying a leveraged Bitcoin exposure.
The second point is leverage. The net leverage ratio has dropped to 2.4%, with $5.1 billion in assets covering 3.4 years of expenses. There is no pressure to be forced to sell coins to repay debts for more than three years. The market’s fear is not a price drop but forced liquidation of holdings during a drop; this point temporarily removes tail risk.
The third point is less pleasant: since the beginning of this year, the amount of Bitcoin held per share has decreased by 3.7%. The total amount is increasing, but the amount per share is decreasing. The difference comes from share capital expansion—issuing more shares to buy coins, which dilutes existing shareholders.
So the contradiction arises: you are buying a company that keeps issuing shares to buy coins, increasing the total amount, but your portion per share is getting diluted. The 27% upside assumes the market continues to pay a premium for the coin content per share; the 3.7% dilution is the implicit annual cost of this premium.
In other words, Bitcoin must increase by more than 3.7% annually for existing shareholders to truly make money. The threshold is not high, but it must be crossed every year.*BTC is under pressure at 80,000, but funds show divergence*
The price repeatedly tests 80,000, surging then retreating, short-term confidence is weak, with macro interest rate hikes + high oil prices + AI attracting capital suppressing risk appetite.
However, funds have not fully exited: ETFs have intermittent small inflows, basis quick money has withdrawn, but large holders are increasing positions on-chain; the pressure is more from leverage liquidation rather than institutional abandonment.
*Response:* Avoid blindly betting on direction during divergence periods, tightly control position size, monitor key support volume + ETF flows, and wait for signals of divergence convergence.
