$IRYS This rebound looks impressive, but the order book is actually extremely weak.
The price rose by 64%, yet the trading volume plummeted by 85%.
There is basically no capital entering to catch the dip; it's purely a thin order book being forcibly pulled up.
Above, there is a pile of trapped holders stubbornly holding on; if the buying stops even briefly, it could immediately reverse and crash through.

👇I've always been puzzled: whenever there's talk of cutting aid or trouble brewing, should I first buy some hard assets?
But every time the news comes out, the first to drop are the coins. This time is no different. Trump said he wants to end security aid to Israel; Israel was clueless, saying they hadn't even received the documents, yet the market ran first out of caution.
Later I realized, what falls isn't faith, but leverage. People who have multiplied their positions, upon hearing news that can't be priced, their first move is to reduce positions to survive. Whether you believe in Bitcoin or not doesn't matter. $BTC often takes the first hit from its own people.
So when this kind of news comes out, I don't rush to chase. I wait for those forced liquidations to finish before looking for direction. Israeli officials and defense agencies are now very concerned because Trump said that security aid to Israel is about to end. But the most notable thing about this whole matter is not the statement itself, but that Israel has not yet received any formal documents.
Security aid has never been a simple gift; it is the foundation of the US-Israel military procurement agreements. Israel's Channel 12 said this decision will affect the military procurement agreements between the two countries and also impact the Israeli Defense Forces' procurement plans. Even Israel's own defense department cannot clearly explain the meaning or implementation timeline of Trump's statement.
This creates a typical uncertainty gap: the direction is known, but the boundaries are not. What the market fears most is never bad news, but news that cannot be priced.
The transmission path is also very clear. Such events first hit risk premiums, not fundamentals. $BTC often moves first because it is treated both as a risk asset and a safe haven asset, attracting funds from both sides; $ETH and $SOL have greater elasticity, with their rises and falls amplified. But it should be noted that $BTC's reaction is emotion-based pricing, not a fundamental revaluation.
My judgment is twofold. If it is just a statement, it is closer to a bargaining chip, and risk assets will recover their losses within a few days. If it really materializes into a document and is written into the budget, then it is structural, and the Middle East arms procurement chain and the credibility of US fiscal commitments will need to be recalculated.
So what really needs to be watched is not what Trump said, but whether there is that piece of paper. Statements without documents can be withdrawn at any time; policies with documents require portfolio adjustments. In the last round, there were three directions: one win and two losses. BTC went from 77,668.49 to 77,795.30, a +0.16% gain, with neither the take profit at 78,630 nor the stop loss at 77,092 triggered; XRP went from 1.2827 to 1.2803, down -0.19%; TRX went from 0.323390 to 0.321950, down -0.44%. Among the three trades, only one hit the target, and neither take profit nor stop loss was triggered. I will not change any direction or position, and the reasons are below. Voting has already started, but the votes are not yet counted. The market odds for a Democratic sweep of both chambers are 70%, and the options market is even more direct: the implied volatility for the November 4 expiration is 43.5%, which is 7 points higher than later expirations—this is insurance for election night, not pricing the trend. I reviewed the past three full election cycles; the one-year returns were all positive, but none were a straight upward trend. It is normal for positions to be shaken out in the first few weeks after the results land. After the trust collapse in November 2022, there was a two-week decline followed by three months of sideways movement; this time it’s different because the $6.3 billion bomb was swallowed on the same day, and the drop to 76,300 left only a lower shadow candle. The funding situation looks bad: over two trading days, spot products were redeemed for about $1.04 billion, including a single-day outflow of $405 million from a leading institutional fund—the largest since June—and the total industry fund holdings fell below $100 billion. Yet the price climbed back from 76,455 to above 77,800. Money is moving, prices are rising, but the buyers are not from these channels. Here isTriple-line hedging is not a free pass: Big Brother Maji's tough ledger
Big Brother Maji is toughly holding the market with a massive long-short combination: $BTC short, $ETH long, $HYPE short advancing on three fronts, with a total margin of about 5,698,000 U and a total position value of about 62,980,000 U, maximizing the intensity of the game.
The BTC short is the "profit cushion" in the portfolio: 40X full position, holding -249.9 BTC, opening average price 78,104.1 U, unrealized profit +325,700 U, funding fee +166,300 U, liquidation price 103,059.49 U. The ETH long is under pressure: 25X full position, holding 9,823.81 ETH, opening average price 2,427.28 U, unrealized loss -1,722,900 U, funding fee -82,200 U, liquidation price 1,561.77 U. The HYPE short is the main source of loss: 5X full position, holding -259,600 HYPE, opening average price 72.8005 U, unrealized loss -2,765,900 U, funding fee +1,203,000 U, liquidation price 106.72 U.
Roughly summed up, unrealized P&L is about -4,163,100 U, funding fee about +1,287,100 U, still an unrealized loss after hedging. The money earned from the BTC short is being swallowed by the ETH long and HYPE short. #美国中期选举在即，哪些结果值得关注？ #苹果Q4营收超预期，下季度毛利率指引承压 #PalantirQ3营收增长96%，股价不涨反跌 $SOL
8567 SOL tokens. This batch of coins was transferred from the stolen funds address to Privacy Cash this morning, clearly visible on-chain.
At the same time, 1WIN's TGE running on Solana saw a subscription of 61.02 million USDC, oversubscribed by 15.6 times. While some are laundering, others are rushing to grab shares.
Price is 93.34, 1.3% higher than yesterday's opening, just 0.60 away from the 24-hour high of 93.91.
I'm watching the volume. At 10 PM last night, the hourly candle showed 580,000 trades; the latest candle shows 31,131 trades, shrinking nearly twentyfold in nine hours, yet the price remains steady between 93.3 and 93.9.
Open interest is $336 million, with positive funding rates—longs are paying to support shorts.
I'm not chasing this move. Those laundering are selling, those grabbing quotas are buying; neither side is in a hurry. When volume empties, whoever acts first sets the direction. I'll wait until trades exceed 200,000 again before watching.
#美国中期选举在即，哪些结果值得关注？ Short positions account for more than half, but the real pricing factor is not the long-short ratio, it's the number on Friday night
All three coins have a short position advantage, which easily makes people think that "following the trend to short" is a natural choice. But first, take a look at the macro background: the probability of a 25 basis point rate hike in December is already priced at about 75%, with only 25% left for no change. Under this denominator, the overall bearish bias in the crypto market is not "sentiment," but a result of interest rate expectations.
The problem is, between "shorts dominating" and "being able to push the price down," there is a layer of position structure. In the past 24 hours, BTC long liquidations were 203 million, while shorts were only 17.2 million, a brutal long squeeze; but open interest barely moved, and the funding rate remains at a positive premium of +0.65%, with a long-short position ratio of 65/35 still favoring the long side. Long positions were liquidated, but leverage was not cleared—when one batch falls, someone immediately fills the same position. This means BTC's short advantage is an "on-paper advantage," not a "fuel advantage."
ETH is more subtle. The funding rate turned negative to -0.0054%, shorts started paying fees, and short-term sentiment is indeed weak; but open interest still has about 71.94 million contracts, with leverage piled up and not withdrawn. Shorts hold 56.79% while also bearing holding costs. The more crowded the shorts, the greater the elasticity of the reverse sweep.
So "shorting at this position is not cost-effective" is correct, but the reason is not "too many shorts," rather the nonfarm payroll on Friday is the real directional arbiter. October's new job additions are expected at 65,000, previous value 29,000. Just now, both speakers were turned down together. Around 05—06, BTC touched 78000, and ETH almost reached 2300. In the next hour, neither side reached the previous high again, closing slightly lower, and the trading volume also dropped together.
According to OKX spot data, from 06—07, BTC trading volume was about 20% less than the previous hour, and ETH was down by more than 20%. The hourly volatility on both sides narrowed, but placing this closing back into the 00:00 to 04:00 range, the difference remains. BTC closed at 77880, just 24.6 USDT below that highest price segment; ETH closed at 2293.29, still below the midpoint of its range.
I will treat this as a pause after a surge. Both coins are quiet together, but they may not choose the same direction. If BTC later also closes below the midpoint of the previous four hours, this positional advantage will fade. If ETH first recovers its midpoint, then the gap between the two will show signs of narrowing. Data is as of 07:00 Beijing time on November 4; the new hourly and current four-hour candles have not closed yet. For informational purposes only, not investment advice.$CORE CORE is now completely a pile of useless mud that can't be helped. On-chain data shows transactions flying fast, with 34,000 transactions in a single day, but guess how much the DEX trading volume is? Less than $150. This isn't even wash trading; it's pure empty self-entertainment.
The buy orders have long been drained, and even a little selling pressure is a bottomless pit, with order book support thinner than paper. The most critical issue is the 166 million "untraceable" ghost tokens still hanging overhead. Exchanges are shutting down one by one, the main players don't even bother to pretend anymore, just shuffling assets left to right to keep the lifeline alive. Don't catch the falling knife.

👇Fear and Greed Index at 27, down 11 points from yesterday. 📉 Sentiment has entered the "fear" zone, but fear itself does not constitute a bottom signal. BTC is currently around $77,000**, down 1.74% in 24H, daily low at **$76,641, with a 24H spot net outflow of $81.58M, weekly spot net outflow of **$488.59M**, and weekly contract outflow of $3.00B**—outflows are narrowing but have not turned positive. Price remains below MA(5) $77.39K and MA(10) $78.73K, structure not yet repaired. On the ETF side, on November 2, Bitcoin spot ETF had a net outflow of **$399M, with BlackRock IBIT withdrawing $405M in a single day. ETH is relatively resilient, currently around $2,300**, up 1.18% in 24H, daily low at **$2,242 but recovered. However, the capital flow is not supportive: ETH spot ETF has had net outflows for 6 consecutive days, with a single-day outflow of $140M on November 2**, ETHA accounting for **$138M. Price rebound and ETF bleeding are happening simultaneously, raising questions about sustainability. SOL is around $93.5, basically flat in 24H, but the liquidation structure is extremely skewed: over 90% of 24H total SOL liquidations are longs, with shorts only about $2.5M.

#PalantirQ3营收增长96%，股价不涨反跌 Historical benchmark is somewhat positive: In the 12 months following 19 midterm elections since 1950, the S&P 500 posted positive returns every time, with an average gain of about 15%; however, the process was not smooth. In 11 of these 19 cycles, there were drawdowns exceeding 10%, and the median low point often occurred about 5 weeks before the election. The election outcome mainly serves to "end uncertainty" rather than "create a bottom." Sector-wise, in the three months after the election, Information Technology, Real Estate, and Communication Services showed relatively outstanding average returns, reflecting a phase of risk appetite returning.
But 2026 presents a key difference: suppressing factors are not limited to the election. Currently, the U.S. stock market faces triple headwinds from AI capital expenditure concerns, midterm elections, and liquidity tightening, with liquidity considered the greatest risk. The Federal Reserve is holding interest rates steady, but the market still prices in a high probability of a rate hike in December, and the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield remains elevated. HSBC warns that historical patterns may mislead this time, as risks like excessive AI investment and Middle East tensions persist.
The impact of the election result itself on direction is also overestimated. In cases of divided government, the average gain one year after the election is about 15%.
In summary: For the U.S. stock market after midterm elections, historical patterns provide a probabilistic advantage, not a smooth upward line. The record of positive returns in the 12 months post-election is striking, but double-digit drawdowns mid-cycle are normal. What truly determines the height of the trend is not which party controls Congress, but whether the Fed hikes rates in December and whether AI capital expenditures can translate into profits. The election gives the market a "breather," but how long it lasts depends on macro variables.I always thought that when short on money, bonds would be issued, but I didn't expect the Treasury to buy bonds back. On November 4th, it plans to spend up to $6 billion to buy back some 10- to 20-year government bonds.
Sounds impressive, but this amount is actually tiny in the government bond market. It's more like a signal saying: I'm keeping an eye on the long end.
As for whether $BTC will rise because of this, don't overthink it. A bit more liquidity is good, but $6 billion won't move a big market. If you want to get a feel for it, you have to see if there's another round coming.On November 4th, the U.S. Treasury plans to repurchase up to $6 billion of 10- to 20-year Treasury bonds. The scale is not large, but the direction is worth noting — this means the Treasury is injecting money into the market, not withdrawing it.
First, let's look at the focus. The $6 billion will be used to buy medium- to long-term old bonds with maturities of 10 to 20 years, not short-term overnight bonds. The medium- to long-term segment is precisely where liquidity is thinnest and where selling often causes sharp price drops. By using cash to buy back these old bonds, the Treasury is effectively cushioning the most fragile part of the entire yield curve.
To clarify the mechanism: this is debt management, not monetary policy. The Treasury's repurchase of outstanding bonds moves money from the Treasury account to bondholders, increasing cash in the market slightly and pushing down long-term yields a bit. It will not cut interest rates or expand the balance sheet, but it does ease the cost of money marginally.
For crypto, this is a marginal variable, not a driving force. $BTC is most sensitive to liquidity and often reacts first to such moves; $ETH follows risk appetite and needs the stock market to cooperate; $SOL is the most volatile, rising quickly and falling quickly. The real determinant of direction remains how interest rates move afterward.
One point worth considering: $6 billion in the U.S. Treasury market is barely a drop in the bucket. So the value of this round of repurchases lies not in the scale but in the fact that the Treasury is willing to act on the long end. The market reads the attitude, not the amount.#تقرير Circle earnings are on the horizon, can stablecoin growth deliver returns? The market doesn't lie: The positives and pitfalls of three coins🌊
$TRX On-chain volume is brisk, but the market looks calm. About $242 million stolen funds were laundered through the TRON channel in two days, with turnover ten times the hacker's holdings, yet the price remains steady; more troubling is that about 475 million TRX are still held by the hacker, and a slow sell-off is the real risk.🧨
$UNI The rise has two drivers: DEX market share grab, and protocol revenue plus burn expectations; an 18% weekly gain shows capital favors stories with "cash flow." But the sell wall is real too: hackers have cashed out about $22.8 million via swaps, with 3.16 million tokens still to be dealt with. The narrative pushes up, while chips press down.⚖️
$LIT License expectations lead the rally: near the top of gainers, FDV about $3.4 billion, planning to apply to the CFTC in November; if approved, it will be a compliant on-chain perpetual in the US.

Summary: Watch $TRX at 0.30 and hacker holdings, $UNI at $7 to see if the sell wall is absorbed, and $LIT for overextended expectations above $3.📌Bithumb's announcement—did it make CORE holders' hearts skip a beat? If OKX follows suit tomorrow, will you still hold onto your CORE? When I saw the news this morning that Bithumb would stop supporting CORE trading pairs, I stared at the order book for a few seconds. It wasn't because of how large my position was, but that real feeling of "the trading channel is narrowing" was more alarming than a single bearish candle. The original statement was actually quite restrained: OKX hasn't announced anything yet; it's just a hypothesis. But the market never waits for announcements to move; it trades on expectations, on the fear of "will I be next?" Let's clarify the facts first. Bithumb announced it would stop supporting trading, not that the project is worthless or that on-chain assets have disappeared. This difference is huge, but the market often prices in the worst-case scenario first. For assets like CORE that rely on centralized exchange access, once the main channels shrink, the first to be affected is the trading depth, then the quote slippage, and finally the psychological defense of holders. You'll find that what really gets repriced isn't the token itself, but the "convenience of exit paths." There's a second layer of transmission that's easy to overlook. When exchanges delist or stop support, the short-term impact is on CORE's spot sentiment, but the mid-term effect changes the preferences of a certain class of capital: market makers don't want to hold inventory in assets with uncertain channels, quantitative strategies will remove such coins from their whitelists, and projects in the altcoin sector that "depend on traffic from a single platform" will be re-evaluated. BTC and ETH What does the Binance hack incident illustrate? What lessons does it offer?
This largest-ever coin theft at Binance shatters the illusion of absolute security at top exchanges. The hacker did not break private keys but gained internal permissions and exploited the EIP‑7702 authorization mechanism to transfer funds. This reveals that custody security weaknesses often lie in personnel, permissions, and processes, and even the largest platforms face single points of failure risk.
The underlying mechanisms of different tokens determine vastly different fates after theft: stablecoins have issuer freeze permissions to block and limit losses; governance tokens like SNX can be recovered through contract permissions; pure PoW coins like BTC, ZEC, and RVN have no centralized switch, making on-chain confirmed transactions nearly irreversible.
Custody is only a platform’s credit endorsement, not true ownership of your assets. For long-term holdings, self-custody is preferable; exchanges should only hold short-term trading funds. Do not place all your chips on a single platform.
The fundamental logic of inflation and scarcity also manifests in security incidents: coins with a hard cap rely on consensus and computing power for value; coins with unlimited issuance face not only custody risks but also ongoing long-term pressure from dilution. The big short position holder on the $SOL chain hasn't withdrawn yet; the liquidation line for 250,000 SOL is stuck firmly at 123.
With such an obvious target hanging on the chain, how could the main forces on the market let it go? Large spot funds below are continuously supporting the price, and the long leverage in the market has mostly been washed out.
As soon as it pushes up a bit and triggers a forced liquidation, a huge passive buy order will directly crash into the market. Each of these people will be carried out one by one.
The shorts are purely holding on by tough talk this round; it's almost time for the buy orders to settle.

👇Three coins rebound simultaneously, all with shorts pressing down on their heads. But at their feet, they diverge into three paths: ETH clears shorts below, shorts above are recognized by the cycle, bulls are pushing; BTC bulls are cleared, positions are still withdrawing, no one is catching the rebound; SOL's liquidation amount is an order of magnitude smaller, the short above is a bull trap not recognized.
$BTC | Resistance 78,230 | Support 76,440
BTC short above 78,230 is 0.50% from the current price, very close, but the cycle only recognizes downward movement, not this upward wave; long below 76,440 is 1.80% away and is more solidly recognized by the cycle. The liquidation amounts above and below are almost symmetrical, each about 21 million. The 4-hour Bollinger middle band is up 0.37%, bandwidth 2.81%, amplitude 0.70%, very small, price is moving sideways. Positions withdrew 1.29% in 24 hours; among nearly 14 liquidations, 95% were longs, big players are bearish, retail is catching, the rebound is a short squeeze with no one catching it. The short above is very close but not truly touched, the side below is heavier.
$ETH | Resistance 2,322 | Support 2,276
ETH long below 2,276 is 0.72% close to the current price, but the cycle does not recognize downward movement; short above 2,322 is 1.28% away and is recognized by the cycle; liquidation amounts above and below are each about 20.78 million. The 4-hour Bollinger middle band is up 0.80%, bandwidth 3.13%, amplitude 0.89%, price is above the middle band. Positions increased 2.40% in 24 hours, volume ratio 3.05 shows obvious volume expansion; among nearly 10 liquidations, shorts dominate.HOT current price is 0.00056200, exactly stuck at the upper edge of the short position liquidation dense zone. MACD is still rising, the 50/100/200 moving averages are in a bullish alignment without divergence, but RSI is already close to overbought, indicating a clear discount on short-term upward momentum. The 24-hour market volume of 63.85 billion USD is shrinking, showing that incremental funds have not kept up. For small-cap coins like HOT, the pump relies more on stock game. After short positions above 0.000562 are triggered, a quick spike followed by a pullback is likely, making chasing longs a poor risk-reward trade.
Just moved the electric bike that was parked disorderly outside the booth into the line, now back to watching the market.
Trading bias is bearish on pullback: do not chase longs near the current price of 0.00056200, wait for a rebound to the 0.00056500 to 0.00056800 range to try light short positions in batches, with the first take-profit target at 0.00054800 and the second at 0.00053800. Place stop loss at 0.00057500; if it holds above this level, it means liquidation momentum is not over, and shorts must be exited. If the price directly breaks down below 0.00054800 with volume, do not catch the falling knife; wait for a pullback confirmation before considering a short-term long. Control position size; in this overbought and liquidation-squeezed market, the probability of stop-loss hunting back and forth is high.

@OKX星球 Epic Slow Bleed: CORE Keeps Falling, a Game with No Winners
As of November 3, 2026, CORE is priced at about $0.012, down approximately 29% over 7 days, with a 24-hour trading volume of only about $3.09 million and a circulating market cap of around $12.48 million, down over 99% from its all-time high. This is not a sudden crash but a daily slow bleed: weak rebounds, thin support, repeatedly frustrated narratives, making holders increasingly passive. The first blow was a security incident that shattered trust. On October 31, the b14g dual staking protocol was attacked, with about 97 million CORE tokens withdrawn without authorization. On November 3, the Core network recovered about 68.15 million tokens through a hard fork, accounting for approximately 70.2% of the affected amount, but these have not yet been allocated to affected users, and frozen exchange funds have not been returned. The second blow is the slow implementation of the buyback mechanism. The 2026 roadmap proposes revenue-driven buybacks sourced from BTC staking yields, AMP management fees, LST issuance fees, ecosystem transaction fees, and more. However, the current real ecosystem revenue scale remains small, making it difficult to offset the trust loss after the security incident. The third blow is the delay of key modules. lstBTC development is suspended due to Maple-related compliance issues, weakening the short-term implementation capability of the BTCFi flywheel. The fourth blow is liquidity drying up. Trading volume is only about $3.09 million, and a small number of sell orders can easily crush the price, with rebounds lacking support. The fifth blow is ghost tokens looming overhead. Recovered tokens, frozen funds, and affected user balances remain unclear, potentially becoming latent selling pressure at any time This is the latest total liquidation data. I'll break it down for you brothers; inside lies the truth of the long-short battle.
First, look at the 4-hour and 12-hour periods, which are the main battlegrounds of this recent rebound: 4-hour liquidations total 12.29 million, with shorts at 9.18 million and longs at 3.10 million; 12-hour liquidations total 93.65 million, with shorts at 64.24 million and longs at 29.41 million. See it? Almost all the liquidations in the past half day were shorts—BTC was pulled from 76,665 to 78,000, and those who chased shorts or tried to top-sell were all liquidated by this rebound.
Looking further back at 24 hours, total liquidations reached 175 million, with longs at 96.01 million and shorts at 78.90 million, with longs actually a bit more. Why? Because including the drop from 78,800 to 76,665 the day before yesterday, a large number of bottom-fishing longs were liquidated.
Connecting these two time frames: first a drop liquidated longs, then a rise liquidated shorts. Up and down, retail traders on both sides got harvested once. The largest single liquidation was on Binance BTCUSDT, a single order of 8.78 million USD, indicating that big players/heavy positions were also swept out.
#美国中期选举在即，哪些结果值得关注？ $BTC $ETH $ZEC Last night people were still shouting "buy the dip," but this morning the market literally pulled the steering wheel away — this is not a reversal, it's a cliff dive. $BTC even formed a bull trap overnight, and in the morning session it couldn't hold 77,000, dropping straight down to a low of 76,700. All short-term moving averages were breached, indicating that big money is rushing out ahead of the Nonfarm Payrolls and CPI releases. 76,500 is the first threshold now; breaking it means a deep pit. This is not a "shakeout" that can be covered up by rhetoric, but a structural retreat. What really deserves caution is not the magnitude of the drop, but the manner of the decline. $ETH surged to 2,317 last night, but in hindsight it looks more like a classic "passing the baton" move, then it hit a low of 2,237, showing weakness even more thorough than $BTC. The ETF continues to bleed, and Ethereum has lost its independent support; 2,300 flipped from support to resistance — weak assets rarely bottom out easily because they don't even show signs of resistance. $SOL is the worst performer: it fell below 92 without any resistance, hitting a low of 90.87. The previously persistent bulls have completely surrendered, and the market shows panic selling rather than orderly pullback. Catching the falling knife now requires not just courage, but a misreading of the macro calendar. My judgment is: the essence of this round of decline is not internal negative news in crypto, but the early withdrawal of macro risk-averse funds. With Nonfarm and CPI releases coming this week, risk appetite is compressed, and funds choose to exit first and observe later, causing all short moving averages to fail simultaneously and all "supports" to turn into "ceilings." People tend to mistake this drop as a buying opportunity, but they overlook that it is calendar-driven with a clear time window #Circle财报在即，稳定币增长能否兑现收益？ In the past 5 quarters, EPS exceeded expectations 4 times (Q2 was slightly below or flat, with varying source standards); revenue was below expectations in the last two quarters (Q1, Q2).
• Consensus expectations are high: revenue about 790 million (Q2 actual 701 million), EPS about $0.35–0.38 (Q2 actual $0.18). To meet expectations, a significant quarter-on-quarter jump is needed, which is not easy.
• Declining interest rates have lowered reserve yields, offsetting circulation growth.

• Improved post-distribution profit margin (rose to 41% in Q2)
• Reduced one-time expenses and controlled operating costs

As of November 4, 2026, CORE is priced at about $0.01, with a 7-day drop of approximately 29%, a 24-hour trading volume of about 13.42 million RMB, and a circulating market cap of about 122 million RMB, down over 99% from its all-time high.
CORE's darkest hour is not a single-day crash, but simultaneous pressure on narrative, security, liquidity, supply, and revenue recovery.
How much longer it will fall depends on four things:
1. Whether the tokens recovered by b14g can be distributed. About 97 million CORE tokens were unauthorizedly transferred out at the end of October; on November 3, a hard fork recovered about 68.15 million tokens but they have not yet been distributed to affected users.
2. When the frozen funds in exchanges will be returned. Without returning these funds to users, rebuilding trust will be very difficult.
3. Whether buyback and burn can outpace unlocking. The 2026 roadmap has shifted to income-driven buybacks, but the ecosystem's real revenue scale remains small.
4. Whether trading volume and TVL truly recover. Under low liquidity, any rebound may be suppressed by users trying to exit positions.
My view:
CORE may not go to zero, but in the short term, it is difficult to reverse based on "public chain narrative." It is more likely to enter a long repair period: first clearing security incidents, then verifying the buyback mechanism, and finally discussing liquidity recovery. Before these three signals are clear, rebounds are better seen as opportunities to reduce positions rather than bottom-fishing. Is 0.013 CORE the bottom? Under five layers of pressure, do you dare to catch the falling knife?
As of November 3, 2026, CORE is priced at about $0.012, down approximately 29% over 7 days, with a 24-hour trading volume of about $3.09 million and a circulating market cap of about $12.48 million, having retraced over 99% from its all-time high. 0.013 is not a reliable bottom. It is merely a price point under the current extremely poor liquidity conditions and does not indicate that selling pressure has been exhausted. The five layers of pressure remain: 1. Security pressure. At the end of October, the b14g dual staking protocol was attacked, with about 97 million CORE tokens unauthorizedly transferred out; on November 3, a hard fork recovered about 68.15 million tokens, but they have not yet been allocated to affected users. 2. Narrative pressure. The BTCFi narrative persists, but the security incident has weakened the trust foundation. 3. Revenue pressure. There is a buyback and burn mechanism, but the ecosystem's revenue scale is still small, making it difficult to offset selling pressure. 4. Inflation pressure. The total supply is 2.1 billion tokens, with long-term unlocking pressure unresolved. 5. Liquidity pressure. The trading volume is only about $3.09 million, and a small number of sell orders can easily break the price. The premise of catching the falling knife is to see genuine buying return. Otherwise, any rebound looks more like a window for breaking even and exiting.
Three observation points: the token recovery allocation plan is clear, exchange-frozen funds are being unfrozen and returned; trading volume and buy-side depth are continuously recovering. The above is market observation only and does not constitute investment advice. Would you like me to combine CORE's three observation signals and compare them with key signals from other public chains before their bottoms as the next part of the series?Tracing stolen funds led to a mixer: hackers have started laundering money
Binance's $6.3 billion stolen funds laundering phase has switched to a new method: Elliptic reported that starting November 1, hackers used CoinJoin mixers for the first time, and by early November 2, they had made 18 transactions, mixing about 28 $BTC and approximately $2.2 million into Wasabi-style mixers. The money came from funds on Tron and some stationary $ETH converted into $BTC.
On November 3, there was a new development: Onchain Lens found that addresses related to the hackers sent 8,567 $SOL and about $798,000 into the Privacy Cash mixer pool on Solana, avoiding exchanges and new wallets, aiming solely to break the link between source and destination.
The accounting is clear: stolen funds have spread across 11 chains, about 12,000 wallets, and over 40,000 transactions. Approximately $2.85 billion, or 44%, has been frozen, leaving about $3.24 billion remaining. The majority is in $ETH and 18,270 $BTC that have not moved so far; less than 3 million has been mixed, which is just a fraction of the $6.3 billion, and almost no real cash-out has been observed.
One more point to clarify: Elliptic said the laundering is done by routine automated scripts, with no evidence that AI agents are making decisions. Once the mixer is activated, tracing stolen funds shifts from following the money to guessing where the money is. Next, we will see if the 44% frozen can be pushed higher.Many people skimmed past this message, thinking it was routine regulatory news, but actually it changes the boundaries of trading products.
The US CFTC has approved equity perpetual contracts to be traded on registered exchanges. US stock underlyings can be made perpetual on compliant venues, with no expiration delivery and no overnight rollovers. Tyler Ward's judgment is straightforward: Hyperliquid and Lighter are the main beneficiaries.
Why these two? Stock perpetuals and crypto perpetuals are the same thing at the matching layer: order book, funding rate, margin, liquidation engine. Whoever has already run this system smoothly on-chain will have the lowest cost to list US stock underlyings. Hyperliquid's depth and liquidation system are ready-made, which is why it ranks ahead.
The data also matches. Hyperliquid's total open interest across the network has surpassed $15 billion, currently at $15.176 billion. Such a large volume indicates it does not lack market makers nor people willing to leverage up.
But what I care about more is not who is named, but whether liquidity is willing to follow. The barrier is not technology, but whether US stock market makers are willing to put their inventory into the on-chain order book. The approval is just a ticket; market makers are the entry pass.
So the indicator to watch is very specific: can the US stock underlyings on $HYPE achieve spreads close to centralized exchanges? If yes, it’s a new track; if not, it’s just a high-leverage venue with a few more codes listed.This is the latest long-short account ratio as of November 4th: currently, longs are at 69.81%, shorts at 30.19%, with a long-short ratio of 2.31.
Comparing the changes: yesterday longs were still at 71.45%, today dropped to 69.81%, and the long-short ratio fell from 2.5 to 2.31. Note this detail — BTC rebounded from 76665 to 78000 this morning, the price rose, but the proportion of retail longs actually decreased.
This perfectly matches the previous open interest chart: open interest dropped from 33,700 to 32,800, and the long-short ratio fell from 2.5 to 2.31. This indicates that during this rebound, some retail traders who chased longs yesterday and got trapped have now exited near their cost during the rebound, actively reducing long positions.
This structure is healthier than the day before yesterday. The day before yesterday, the trend was buying more as prices fell, with longs piling up more and more. Now, during the rebound, some long positions have been cleared out, and the crowding level dropped from 71% to 69%.
But brothers, don’t relax your vigilance; a 69.81% long ratio is still relatively high, and most retail traders are still going long. The true emotional bottom is when longs drop to around 50% and the long-short ratio approaches 1 — that’s when clearing happens. Right now, it’s just a move from extreme crowding back to somewhat crowded.
Conclusion: The rebound accompanied by a slight clearing of long positions is healthier than a one-sided buildup of longs, but it’s far from a safe zone. Before the 78,700 resistance level, this batch of 69% longs still represents potential selling pressure.
#美国中期选举在即，哪些结果值得关注？ $BTC $ETH $ZEC If the "true public chain" can't save the coin price, what is the fate of CORE?
As of November 4, 2026, CORE is priced at about $0.01, down about 29% over 7 days, with a 24-hour trading volume of approximately ¥13.42 million RMB, and a circulating market cap of about ¥122 million RMB, down more than 99% from its historical peak.
The fact that the "true public chain" can't save the coin price indicates that the market no longer pays solely for technical narratives. The fate of CORE is most likely not to go to zero, but to degrade from a "high-expectation public chain" to a "low-liquidity recovery asset." The first path: BTCFi infrastructure development, but the token remains under long-term pressure. Core Chain has narratives like Satoshi Plus, EVM compatibility, BTC staking, ETP, etc., and the 2026 roadmap also shifts toward revenue-driven buybacks. But the problem is that the chain being alive does not mean the token is valuable. As long as buyback revenue does not outpace unlocking and selling pressure, the price will remain under pressure. The second path: low-liquidity zombie chain. Trading volume is low, buy-side depth is insufficient, and a small number of sell orders can crush the price. There may still be developers and users on-chain, but the secondary market lacks sustained incremental funds, making rebounds prone to becoming exit windows for break-even sellers. The third path: trust discount after security incidents. At the end of October, the b14g dual staking protocol was attacked, with about 97 million CORE unauthorizedly transferred out; on November 3, a hard fork recovered about 68.15 million, but these have not yet been allocated to affected users. As long as the handling of these assets remains unclear, institutional funds and large holders will find it difficult to rebuild trust.Strategy is buying again — 811 $BTC for $65.5M, avg $80,846, taking the stack to 849,327 BTC.

👇👇CORE has dropped 99.7%, why is it still falling?
As of November 3, 2026, CORE is priced at about $0.012, down about 29% over 7 days, with a 24-hour trading volume of only about $3.09 million, and a circulating market cap of about $12.48 million, down over 99% from its all-time high.
The continued decline is not simply because it "fell too much," but because trust, liquidity, and supply pressure have all become problematic simultaneously.
1. Security trust is damaged. At the end of October, the b14g dual staking protocol was attacked, with about 97 million CORE unauthorizedly transferred out; on November 3, a hard fork recovered about 68.15 million, but these have not yet been allocated to users, and funds frozen by exchanges have not been returned. The BTCFi narrative is premised on "asset security on-chain," and when the security layer fails, funds dare not return.
2. Liquidity is too thin. The trading volume is only about $3.09 million, so a small number of sell orders can push the price to new lows. Without buying support during rebounds, sustainability is naturally difficult.
3. Buybacks cannot relieve selling pressure. The 2026 roadmap indeed includes "revenue-driven buyback and burn," sourced from BTC staking yields, AMP management fees, LST issuance fees, etc. But the current ecosystem's real revenue scale is still small, far from enough to offset long-term unlocking and event-driven selling pressure.
4. Supply pressure exists long-term. Total supply is 2.1 billion, with a circulation rate of about 48%. Mining rewards decay annually and will be released over 81 years, so unlocking pressure does not disappear just because the price is low.
Should you hold on stubbornly or cut losses This is the latest open interest chart as of November 4th
Current open interest is 32,800 BTC, with a nominal value of 2.553 billion USDT. To compare: yesterday it was still 33,700, today it dropped to 32,800. Note this change — this morning BTC rebounded from 76,665 to 78,000, the price rose, but the open interest actually fell from 33,700 to 32,800.
This is completely the opposite of the day before yesterday. The day before yesterday was "price down, open interest up," price fell, positions piled up, retail investors kept buying long positions as the price dropped; today it turned into "price up, open interest down," price rebounded, positions decreased.
I've been trading for fifteen years, and this signal needs to be reinterpreted. What does a decrease in open interest during a rebound mean? It means this rebound is not driven by new long positions, but rather some old positions are closing out during the rebound — possibly short sellers taking profits or trapped longs getting out. Leveraged funds are not using this opportunity to add positions; instead, they are retreating.
Looking at the black line (nominal value), after peaking at 35,700 at the end of October, it has been declining recently, now at 31,600. This indicates that total leveraged positions have been decreasing from the peak for some time.
This is actually a somewhat neutral signal: healthier than "price down, open interest up," at least leverage is clearing out; but since the rebound is not accompanied by new positions, it means big money hasn't truly entered, just shorts covering pushing the price up. So don't treat this as a strong reversal. For a real strength, open interest needs to rise again during the rebound.
#美国中期选举在即，哪些结果值得关注？ $BTC $ETH $ZEC The bloodshed never stops! CORE keeps falling—is it a “golden pit” or a “massive trap”?
As of November 3, 2026, CORE is priced at about $0.012, down approximately 29% over 7 days, with a 24-hour trading volume of only about $3.09 million, and a circulating market cap of about $12.48 million, down over 99% from its all-time high.
Conclusion first: it looks more like a “massive trap” now, not a “golden pit.”
Where is the trap?
1. The safety narrative has collapsed. At the end of October, the b14g dual staking protocol was attacked, with about 97 million CORE tokens unauthorizedly transferred out; on November 3, a hard fork recovered about 68.15 million tokens, but they have not been allocated to users, and funds frozen by exchanges have not been returned. The premise of BTCFi is “asset security on-chain.” With the security layer broken, the narrative falls apart.
2. Liquidity is exhausted. Trading volume is only $3.09 million, so a small number of sell orders can easily crash the price, and rebounds lack support.
3. Income cannot support buybacks. Although the 2026 roadmap mentions “income-driven buybacks,” the ecosystem’s real revenue scale is far from enough to offset the long-term unlocking selling pressure.
4. Supply pressure remains. Total supply is 2.1 billion tokens, with a circulation rate of about 48%. Mining rewards decay annually and will be released over 81 years—why hasn’t it reached zero yet?
The BTCFi narrative still has some room for imagination; institutional nodes like BitGo remain, and the buyback and burn mechanism is still running. But these are reasons why it’s “not dead yet,” not evidence that it “can rise.” Three observation points are indispensable: whether the b14g recovered tokens can be clearly allocated to affected users.The 75,000 mark has now become a psychological barrier for bulls. Derivatives data shows that if Bitcoin drops below $75,000, the cumulative long position liquidation intensity on major CEXs will reach approximately $1.001 billion. There are many leveraged long positions crowded above 75,000; once this level is breached, it will trigger a chain of forced liquidations, amplifying the speed and magnitude of the decline. This is not a prediction of an inevitable drop but highlights the most vulnera#SonyQ2GamingAndMusic BTC 79,888 Precision Sniper!

Reviewing a very interesting account with a position value of 170 million USD, a typical institutional-level trading method. Let me break down this "textbook" short position setup for everyone. 🧐

He didn’t chase shorts on the breakout #AMD财报前瞻：HeliosAI系统商业化进展 AMD is scheduled to release its Q3 fiscal 2026 earnings report after the U.S. market closes on November 3. Against the backdrop of Intel's weak Q4 guidance, Microsoft's capital expenditure cuts, and Alphabet's capital spending falling short of expectations, which have repeatedly impacted sentiment in the chip sector, the "numbers themselves" in this earnings report take a backseat — the market is truly betting on whether management's statements about 2027 can support the current valuation $AMD
This round of AI hardware is not a rebound; it's the earnings report being repriced. AMD's adjusted Q3 EPS was $2.09, higher than expected, and revenue outlook also exceeded expectations, causing a post-market surge of up to 7%.
On the token side, at 05:00, that hourly candle traded 43,903 contracts, while the previous few candles ranged from 900 to 2,900, meaning in one hour it matched half a day's volume. The low was 474.74, the high 534.92, a 12-point move in one candle, closing at 523. Current price is 514.67, up 9.7%.
Strangely, the open interest is only $5.22 million. Fifteen times volume, 12-point amplitude, leveraged money didn't dare to stay at all; it's all fast in-and-out day trading. SOXL triple leverage rose 11.8%, SMCI up 10.3%, the whole chain is jumping.
At the same time, BTC only rose 1.24%, at 77,764. Semiconductors are sprinting ahead in earnings, crypto is waiting for votes. Both are called risk assets, but tonight they are taking two different paths.
#美国中期选举在即，哪些结果值得关注？ The nightmare for retail investors: CORE fell from 6.47 to 0.013, why hasn't it rebounded? Because no one is buying the dip
As of November 3, 2026, CORE is priced at about $0.012, down about 29% over 7 days, with a 24-hour trading volume of only about $3.09 million, and a circulating market cap of about $12.48 million, down over 99% from its all-time high. It's not that it fell a lot, it's that no one is buying. A trading volume of $3.09 million means that just a few slightly larger sell orders can push the price to new lows. Thin buy orders, poor depth, and weak market-making willingness naturally mean no support for a rebound. The security incident shattered the narrative. At the end of October, the b14g double staking protocol was attacked, with about 97 million CORE tokens unauthorizedly transferred out; on November 3, a hard fork recovered about 68.15 million tokens, but they have not yet been allocated to users, and the exchange-frozen funds have not been returned either. For the BTCFi narrative, security is not a bonus, it is the entry ticket. Once broken, the story can't continue. Buybacks can't relieve selling pressure. The 2026 roadmap indeed mentions revenue-driven buybacks, sourced from BTC staking yields, AMP management fees, LST issuance fees, etc. But the current ecosystem's real revenue scale is still very small, far from enough to offset long-term unlocks and incidents. Don't mistake cheap for a bargain. From 6.47 to 0.013 looks like a floor, but under the combination of low liquidity + unresolved security + damaged narrative, it looks more like an abyss without buyers. There are only three observation points: 1. Whether b14g recovered tokens can be clearly allocated 2. When the exchange-frozen funds will be unfrozen and returned $ETH
The Ethereum Foundation has set the timeline for quantum-resistant migration to December 2029. The supporting leanVM end-to-end formal verification hasn't been completed yet, and the tools are still some way from being production-ready. The schedule has been submitted, but the tools have not.
This kind of thing is of little use to today's market. At 21:00, the hourly candle showed 12,741 contracts traded, reaching 2308.9, the highest in this wave. Over the next nine hours, the price hovered between 2287 and 2304, with volume thinning candle by candle, down to only 812 contracts at 06:00.
Open interest is $1.472 billion, with the fee rate still positive at 0.01%, longs continue to pay.
I don't think the quantum resistance story is fake, but a story three years from now can't determine the current direction. Since 2308.9 lacks volume to support it, I treat it as resistance for now, not a starting point.

#$BTC #Báo cáo tài chính của Circle sắp ra mắt, liệu sự tăng trưởng của stablecoin có thể hiện thực hóa lợi nhuận không? In-depth analysis of the US gaining core information on Binance through the Zhao freedom case
The process of Zhao Changpeng's plea agreement, imprisonment, and subsequent pardon is essentially not a simple "pay money for freedom" deal. Instead, US regulators used criminal accountability as leverage to obtain Binance's internal rules, data links, and risk control weaknesses, incorporating Binance—the world's largest crypto hub—into the US long-arm regulatory system. This is a crucial step in the digital currency war.
1. Mandatory terms of the agreement: Binance forced to hand over three types of core data and accept long-term supervision
According to the 2023 plea and settlement documents: Binance pleaded guilty, paid a $4.3 billion fine, Zhao Changpeng resigned as CEO, pleaded guilty, and received leniency in sentencing. At the same time, a three-year independent compliance monitor mechanism was agreed upon, with the monitor reporting internal situations to the US Department of Justice, Treasury's FinCEN, and OFAC at any time.
The core information obtained by US regulators is divided into three parts:
1. User and fund flow data
Including the operational process of US users bypassing IP blocks and using VPNs to access the international site; KYC loopholes and no-KYC withdrawal channels; fund flow paths and intermediary laundering accounts in sanctioned regions (Iran, Russia, etc.); large accounts, institutions, and darknet fund inflow and outflow patterns.
Regulators have mapped out the complete methods of sanction evasion and money laundering on the Binance platform, establishing a combined on-chain and platform internal fund tracking template.
2. Binance's internal risk control, permissions, and security architecture documents
This is the most critical part, closely related to previous discussions about Binance hacks:
Binance's hot and cold wallet architecture, signature machine permission allocation, operations personnel permission system, hot wallet approval process, internal permission isolation schemes, social engineering intrusion vulnerabilities, asset custody locations, and asset commingling methods.
US regulators fully understood the security framework of the world's largest exchange and clearly identified the inherent fatal backdoors in this centralized custody system.
3. Internal executive communications and regulatory evasion operation manuals
Internal records show Binance's team modified user tags, used encrypted communications to destroy records, and opened whitelists for US VIP clients to bypass risk controls. All these internal strategies were collected as evidence and archived. The US has mastered the full playbook of how leading exchanges "circumvent sovereign regulation," enabling them to formulate rules to block similar operations.
2. After obtaining the information, the US gained three strategic values
1. Mastering regulatory templates for the crypto industry and exporting its own rule standards
Previously, countries worldwide had disparate regulations for crypto exchanges.
Through this case, the US forcibly imposed the standards of "anti-money laundering, sanctions screening, KYC, asset segregation, and third-party continuous supervision" on Binance. Other global exchanges aiming to grow and integrate with the US dollar system must align with these rules. Essentially, the US used Binance to define the global compliance framework for centralized exchanges.
2. Establishing practical toolkits for on-chain tracking and illicit fund recovery to serve digital financial warfare
US OFAC and Treasury obtained numerous real samples of money laundering and hacker fund flows.
In future large-scale thefts (like this Binance hack), the US can quickly apply this flow model to trace sources, mark addresses, freeze mixing protocols, and pressure global exchanges to intercept illicit funds.
This explains why, after theft incidents, the US can promptly identify and attribute attacks to known hacker groups—not by guesswork but by accumulating massive fund flow samples from platforms like Binance over time.
3. Controlling Binance's lifeline to apply secondary pressure anytime
For Binance to continue operations, maintain USD deposit and withdrawal channels, and sustain US market-related business, it must continuously cooperate with regulators and accept monitor inspections.
If Binance does not cooperate, the US can restart accountability, impose additional sanctions, and cut off USD channels at any time. This means the global liquidity hub is under continuous intervention leverage by the US.The OKB card is stuck at $108, but the platform just had a net inflow of $445 million
OKB is fluctuating around $108 today, down nearly 6% from the recent high of $115 a couple of days ago. However, after the Binance hack, users withdrew a large amount of funds, and OKX had a single-day net inflow of about $445 million, so the platform's liquidity is not bad.
Many people now equate "platform funds coming in" directly with OKB price rising, which is the biggest pitfall right now. Exchange fund inflows and platform token prices do not correspond one-to-one. The total supply of OKB is locked at 21 million, with no new burns; in the short term, more attention should be paid to trading volume, usage of fee discounts, and overall market risk appetite. The fund transfer caused by the Binance incident is a one-time event; whether it can be continuously converted into active trading on OKX is the key.
Currently, OKB has dropped more than half from last year's high, and technically, short-term moving averages are also suppressing it. Additionally, when OKX was launching tokenized stock services, several listed companies explicitly opposed it, so regulatory and business uncertainties remain. At times like this, chasing the story of platform fund inflows is likely to buy at an emotional peak.
What really needs to be watched is whether OKX's subsequent trading volume and fee income can keep up with this fund inflow, and whether OKB can stabilize again in the $110-$115 range. If funds come in but trading volume doesn't pick up, the platform token is more likely to continue grinding down with the broader market.
At this point, it's better to first see if the funds can be converted into real trading rather than hastily taking "the platform is safer than others" as the logic for OKB's rise.
Do you think OKB will break below $105 first, or return to $115 first?

The truth behind CORE's continuous decline: On-chain revenue is just a few dollars, so why shouldn't the coin price drop to zero?
As of November 3, 2026, CORE is priced at about $0.012, down approximately 29% over 7 days, with a 24-hour trading volume of only about $3.09 million and a circulating market cap of around $12.48 million.
On-chain revenue is almost negligible.
Although the 2026 roadmap includes "revenue-driven buybacks" as a core feature, with funding sources such as BTC staking rewards, AMP management fees, and LST issuance fees, the current ecosystem's real revenue scale is extremely small, far from enough to offset the selling pressure from unlocked tokens.
The narrative is being undermined by security incidents.
In September, the validator over-issuance bug was not rolled back; at the end of October, the b14g dual staking protocol was attacked, resulting in about 97 million CORE tokens being unauthorizedly transferred out. On November 3, a hard fork recovered about 68.15 million tokens, but these have not yet been allocated to affected users, and frozen exchange funds have not been returned. This is the most critical liquidity issue.
With a trading volume of only $3.09 million, a small number of sell orders can easily crash the price. TVL data varies greatly depending on the measurement method, ranging from tens of millions to hundreds of millions of dollars, but regardless of which metric is used, it has yet to form a closed loop that can continuously attract incremental funds. Why hasn't it dropped to zero yet? The BTCFi narrative still holds some imagination space, BitGo institutional dual staking is already online, and the buyback and burn mechanism is also in operation. But these are just reasons why it "isn't dead yet," not evidence that it "can rise."
Conclusion: Until the security layer is fixed, any rebound is an opportunity to escape, not a signal to bottom-fish. After the market closed on October 29, $SNDK delivered its most impressive earnings report since the spin-off IPO: Quarterly revenue of $11.031 billion, up 23% quarter-over-quarter and 378% year-over-year Non-GAAP gross margin of 85.1% Non-GAAP earnings per share of $49.51, market expectation was $46.41 Next quarter guidance revenue of $12.2–12.6 billion, EPS of $55–57, all above expectations $5.1 billion cash on hand, zero debt Also announced an 8-for-1 stock split Then the next day, the stock price dropped 13.47%. Down 34% in October alone. From the all-time high of $2,354.39 on June 22, it has fallen 52% over 95 trading days. This is not a "performance bomb" story. On the contrary—this is a story of "performance so good it can't get any better, but the market has already started pricing in the cycle peak." After the market closed on October 29, SanDisk (NASDAQ: SNDK) delivered its most impressive earnings report since the spin-off IPO: Quarterly revenue of $11.031 billion, up 23% quarter-over-quarter and 378% year-over-year Non-GAAP gross margin of 85.1% Non-GAAP earnings per share of $49.51, market expectation was $46.41 Next quarter guidance revenue of $12.2–12.6 billion, EPS of $55–57,Recently, the market has been repeatedly mentioning a term — "relief rally." Let me explain to you brothers what this means and how it relates to our trading.
Before the midterm elections, market uncertainty was very high, and large funds dared not enter the market, so BTC has been trading with low volume and drifting downward. Now that voting is nearing its end and the results are basically predictable, the hanging stone has fallen, and funds dare to enter the market to bottom-fish. This kind of rally caused by the "elimination of uncertainty" is called a relief rally.
But brothers, be clear that a relief rally and a trend reversal are two different things. What rebounds is sentiment, not fundamentals. A real big market move requires hard conditions like ETF net inflows restarting and interest rate hike expectations turning dovish, and we haven't reached that yet.
My judgment: after the election results are settled, there will be a wave of corrective rally, with a height expected between 78,700 and 79,500. Don't mistake it for a bull market restart. When the rally reaches its level, you still need to reduce your positions.
