The $2,310–2,328 USD range is a key support area, involving realized price, the 200-day EMA, and large holder cost zones. However, ETH remains below the $2,430–2,453 USD moving average resistance, and the bottom structure has yet to confirm a reversal.
🔻 SOL: The trend is relatively weak
SOL is temporarily holding the $98–100 USD support zone, but the RSI is around 34, and the price is also below the short-term moving average near $106 USD. Volume is shrinking, and there is a risk of a death cross in the short-term moving averages, leaving bulls temporarily on the defensive.
As for whether whales are betting on an escalation in the Iran situation or political changes from the US midterm elections, there is currently insufficient evidence.
My view: Be cautious in the short term; no need to blindly bearish in the medium to long term. Key to watch is whether BTC can hold above $82,000 USD, ETH can maintain $2,310 USD, and whether SOL breaks below $98 USD. Do not chase shorts based solely on whale rumors; price confirmation is more important than stories.

#OctFOMCDecisionDueSoon IRYS rose 43 times in five days, then dropped 95%.
Current price 0.0228.
📉 Let's clarify what happened first
Lowest on 10-18 was 0.0117.
Highest on 10-23 was 0.504.
Today 0.0228, down 23% in 24 hours.
Trading volume dropped from 10.4 billion to 960 million.
Volume is ebbing.
🏗 What it is itself
A data chain.
Data storage and contract execution both use IRYS to pay fees.
50% of execution fees and 95% of storage fees are burned.
Total supply 1 billion tokens, about 20% circulating at launch.
At current price, fully diluted market cap is about 228 million USD.
Estimated circulating supply only 46 million, 5 times less.
OKX spot trading launched on May 27.
⚠️ A key date to know
Team and investors locked tokens for one year.
Based on a launch date of 2025-11-25, unlocking will be in late November.
About one month later.
This is an estimate, not an announcement; refer to the project team.
🔍 I do not predict prices, just list scenarios
If usage doesn't pick up and unlocking comes first: supply pressure is greatest.
If burn volume really increases: deflation logic holds.
If trading volume continues to shrink: sideways consolidation, waiting for the next catalyst.
$IRYS #RobinhoodQ3ProfitFalls
*. The Regulatory L2 thesis*
General-purpose L2s like Arbitrum One and Base want to do everything. Robinhood is doing the opposite. Its chain is built as a specialized, compliant environment for regulated assets. Compliance rules can be embedded at the protocol layer - different for US, EU, etc. CEO Vlad Tenev's idea is "tokenization will eat the broader financial system" - if stocks settle in real-time on blockchain, you don't get trading freezes like 2021.Key Timeline for Micron $xMU Buyback Plan
Timeline Progress
October 8, 2026: Board approves expansion of buyback authorization
December 9, 2026: Relevant government subsidy restrictions enter next phase, buyback capacity expected to expand
After December 2026: Monitor whether the company officially launches large-scale buybacks and the actual execution amount
Micron's previous buyback plan had a total limit of $10 billion, with approximately $2.16 billion remaining in the original authorization; after the new authorization, the total amount increased to $35.16 billion. BTC, ETH, and SOL Compared Side by Side: All Rebound, but Capital Has Already Sorted Strength and Weakness
Currently, all three coins are rebounding simultaneously, but the capital structure is clearly different.
➖ BTC: Weakest increase, most stable trend
Current price is about $80,836, up 1.39% in 24 hours, liquidations around $33.64 million, open interest about $54.73 billion. BTC has reclaimed $80,000, but its increase lags behind, indicating that risk appetite among capital is rising, and the short-term main attack direction is temporarily not on BTC.
🔻 ETH: Strong rebound, highest leverage pressure
Current price is about $2,350, up 1.85% in 24 hours, liquidations around $37.51 million, open interest about $30.2 billion. ETH contract volume is only about half of BTC's, but liquidations have surpassed BTC, indicating the fiercest battle between bulls and bears.
🔺 SOL: Strongest price, lighter chips
Current price is about $101.8, up 1.95% in 24 hours, liquidations around $3.67 million, open interest about $6.54 billion. SOL leads in gains but has the lowest liquidation scale, indicating no obvious stampede in this round of rise, and the capital structure is relatively more stable.
Summary:
Market strength: SOL > ETH > BTC
Trend stability: BTC > SOL > ETH
Leverage pressure: ETH > SOL > BTC
Currently, BTC is the most stable, SOL has the best elasticity, and ETH has the greatest divergence. As long as BTC holds $80,000, capital will continue to spread to ETH and SOL. Phasing out while obtaining licenses: The stablecoin competition is changing tracks
In the same week, two opposite-direction news emerged in the stablecoin space.
1. Ripple obtains license
On October 26, the US OCC finally approved the official establishment of Ripple National Trust Bank — a federally regulated trust bank dedicated to RLUSD reserves and institutional custody. RLUSD's market cap is only $2.5 billion, not on the same scale as USDT or USDC, but its reserves are now overseen by a federal trust bank.
2. Europe phases out
Coinbase notified European users: before October 30, 14 stablecoins including USDT, DAI, PYUSD must either be withdrawn by users themselves or automatically converted to USDC. Even PYUSD and USD1 are on the list — with the MiCA transition period ending, all unlicensed stablecoins are out.
Conclusion
The stablecoin competition has officially shifted from "who has the largest market cap" to "who has the strongest license." Previously it was "I try to comply as much as possible," now it's "my reserves are held in a federal bank."
For ordinary people
Don't chase XRP just because of the licensing narrative. If you really want to participate in RLUSD, first compare its current annualized yield on exchanges with the yield of your USDT investments — licensing is a long-term story, returns are today's money, keep the two accounts separate.
$XRP #渣打银行为Ripple旗下RLUSD提供托管服务 #USDT#RobinhoodQ3 revenue growth, net profit decline Folks, Robinhood's earnings report is quite interesting, a typical case of "when one door closes, another opens," but looking deeper, it's all the retail investors' blood and tears.
First, looking at the big numbers, revenue hit a new high at $1.424 billion, but net profit dropped 14%, missing expectations. Where's the problem? Look at crypto trading revenue, which plummeted 55% year-over-year, down to only $120 million.
What does this indicate? It shows that the crypto market has been really quiet these past few months. Bitcoin has been stuck around the 80,000 mark, altcoins have crashed so badly even their own supporters don't recognize them, and retail investors are either trapped and playing dead or scared off, with basically no one trading. As the retail investor stronghold, Robinhood's crypto revenue was cut in half, which is the most authentic reflection of the current crypto trading volume drought.
So how did they still manage to hit a new revenue high? It's thanks to new business lines. Event contracts, or prediction markets, brought in $173 million, 6.4 times that of the same period last year. These retail investors who used to trade crypto have all shifted to betting on the U.S. elections and sports events. This is a classic zero-sum game; with no prospects in crypto, money flows elsewhere.
This directly reflects on Bitcoin. When retail investors stop trading, on-exchange liquidity dries up, so how could Bitcoin possibly experience a one-sided surge? Tonight we have the Federal Reserve decision and PCE data, with the macroeconomic threat still looming. $BTC $SNDK Someone just asked why so many people hype low market cap coins, and aren't they afraid that if too many people jump in, the price won't rise?
The conditions to become a "monster coin" have never been about hype; they are:
Chips: First, it needs to be highly controlled. Coins with fully circulating chips that aren't well controlled are unlikely to become monster coins, otherwise it would require unlimited money.
Consolidation phase: New coins don't need this, though occasionally some new coins become monster coins. Old coins need it, because if no one buys at high levels for a long time.
Market-making funds: To accumulate chips, build open interest, and control price, all these require money.
Liquidity: Some coins meet the previous conditions but have no players; without liquidity, it's hard for them to make money.
Hype can be divided into several types:
One is proactive free hype.
This usually happens when the coin is already on the gain charts or has many discussions. Most people hype to ride the traffic, some hold positions, some don't. From the perspective of the market maker, whether others hype long or short, as long as volume is brought in, it's liquidity. Regardless of long or short positions, the fluctuations all go into the market maker's pocket.
The other is paid hype.
This is rare nowadays because market makers don't need it; as long as they pump, people will buy. If you find that there isn't much pumping but a bunch of people hype collectively, then most likely they are looking for someone to take the bag.#10月FOMC利率决议即将公布
The Federal Reserve's October decision will be announced at 2 AM tomorrow.
There is a 90.6% probability of holding steady.
The real bet is on December.
🎯 What the market is betting on
90.6% chance of no change in October, 9.4% chance of a rate hike.
67.5% chance of a 0.25 percentage point hike in December.
Only 25.8% chance of no change in December.
A Reuters survey of 100 economists all expect a rate hike in December.
⚠️ First, correct a common misconception
This is not a rate cut cycle, it is a rate hike cycle.
There was a hike just once in September, the first since 2023.
The range is 3.75%–4.00%.
Reading "pause" as "pivot" is the most common misunderstanding.
Inflation expectations: one-year rose from 4.6% to 4.7%, long-term rose from 3.4% to 3.5%.
Both are the highest since May.
🪙 On the crypto side
The higher the interest rate, the higher the treasury yields.
Bitcoin does not generate interest, so the opportunity cost is higher.
This is a slow variable, not a same-day sell-off.
BTC is now 80,957, up 1.36% in 24 hours.
Fear & Greed Index at 51, neutral.
The market has not yet priced in December.
👀 I’m watching three points
Whether the statement still acknowledges the term "risk management."
How many votes oppose and want a direct rate hike.
Which way the probability of a December hike moves after the meeting.I look at the data from prediction markets to understand how strong participants' expectations are for Bitcoin. But the odds are just the prices given by the funds inside the market; if the order book is thin, the reference value has to be discounted. Unlike directly buying or selling Bitcoin, here you also have to carefully consider how the contract settles—getting the direction right doesn't necessarily mean answering the question correctly. Sometimes I get overwhelmed reading the settlement terms: does it count if the price touched that level, or does it have to be above it at expiration?表面一片热闹，散户在买，可底下那层结构，真的跟得上吗？ 你看这波，到底是谁在接谁的货？ 最近盯盘有个很微妙的感觉：情绪是暖的，盘口却是凉的。BTC 和 ETH 的主动成交里，卖方一直占上风，整体买卖比分别只有 0.769 和 0.6658，可小单买入的比例却冲到 2.3 和 3.40。这种"小钱猛冲、大钱悄悄退"的画面，比单纯下跌更值得琢磨，因为它意味着上涨的燃料来自情绪，而不是筹码。 我更在意的是，这轮行情真正被重定价的，不是价格，而是参与者的位置。ETH 的卖压超过六成，是三者里最弱的那个，一旦大盘走软，它大概率是最先失速的；BTC 虽然体量更大，但那些没有量能配合的反弹，很容易变成诱多陷阱。偏多的逻辑当然也有：只要小散的热情还在，短线就不缺脉冲式拉升，ZEC 那边甚至出现了反向结构，买卖比 0.846，大资金在悄悄吸，散户却在慌着交筹码，这种洗盘式积累一旦完成，弹性会很大。 但风险恰恰藏在这份"热闹"里。ZEC 的独立强势能不能扩散到其他山寨，要看后续量能是否接力，否则只是单点行情；而 BTC、ETH 如果继续被大单压着，小散的买入反而会变成高位接盘的最后一棒。板块之间强弱已经拉$SNDK
This wave in storage is really not just hype. SK Hynix rose 10%, Samsung Electronics 9.5%, Kioxia once surged 16% intraday, with three big bullish candlesticks clearly visible.
SNDK was pulled from 1260 to 1363 on OKX, over 8 points in one day, with open contracts piling up to 100 million USD. I previously thought the chip rally was overextended, but this time I was proven wrong, I admit it. HBM shortage is a real order backlog, not a PPT, and storage prices are genuinely rising. My view is, don't chase longs at this level, but don't rush to short either; there are always buyers ready to catch the dip below.
#10月FOMC利率决议即将公布 #SK海力士Q3营收首破100万亿韩元
SK Hynix's revenue this quarter reached 104.6 trillion KRW.
It surpassed 100 trillion for the first time, with a 32% quarter-on-quarter increase.
On average, it earns 1.14 trillion KRW per day.
📈 The real highlight is the profit margin
Operating profit is 83.33 trillion, with a profit margin of 80%.
To put it simply: for every 100 won sold, it earns 80 won.
Last year at the same time, it was 47%.
Selling memory, it achieved the profit margin of a software company.
🔍 Net profit dropped 58% quarter-on-quarter, but don’t panic yet
Q2 net profit was 93.92 trillion, 33 trillion higher than operating profit.
That part was investment income, mainly from Kioxia.
There was no such income in Q3, so the numbers look bad.
The core business is actually accelerating.
🔒 A stronger signal lies in production capacity
14 major customers signed long-term contracts.
More than half of the capacity for 2027 to 2028 has already been sold.
The company expects shortages to continue until 2030.
🪙 Back to crypto
On the same day, its stock rose nearly 6% in early trading.
Bitcoin rose only 1.39% in 24 hours, at 80,928.
The Fear & Greed Index is 51, still neutral.
AI money is still flowing into hardware, crypto hasn’t caught up yet.
👀 I’m watching two things
Whether AI capital expenditure will still exceed expectations.
Whether the Fear & Greed Index can move away from 50. In April 2025, the Liberation Day tariff triggered a crash in the crypto market, with Bitcoin dropping to 74,000 and Ethereum falling to 1,384. However, in 2026, Bitcoin's lowest point was 57,800, while Ethereum only dropped to 1,504.
Bitcoin hit a new low, but Ethereum did not. There is only one explanation: during the 2026 bear market, MicroStrategy ran out of money to buy Bitcoin and was even selling. Meanwhile, bmnr kept borrowing money to buy Ethereum and has already acquired 5% of Ethereum's total supply. This continuous buying might be why Ethereum's drop was less severe and shallower than Bitcoin's.
But this is a double-edged sword. bmnr has never been tested by a deep bear market. This time, Ethereum only fell to 1,504, which is actually manageable. But if a crash similar to March 12, May 19, or the chain of collapses in 2022 happens, can it hold up? That's a question.
Many insiders say bmnr is not in a hurry to repay the borrowed money, has plenty of cash in the account, and can withstand the pressure. I only respect one common sense: if borrowing money to buy crypto always led to profit, then in hundreds of years of financial markets, why hasn't a single leveraged fund survived?
As long as leverage is used, no matter the method, it must be repaid sooner or later. In the capital market, leverage has never ended well unless you can time the market perfectly; otherwise, you will inevitably face your own dark moment. Leverage is the enemy of time, while spot trading is a friend of time and the only way to gradually build wealth.First consider the worst-case scenario: if AI growth is treated as a positive for all computing power assets, the direction might be wrong.
A JPMorgan research report states that in October, Token expenditure increased by 40% month-over-month, usage rose by 25%, and weighted prices went up by 12%; A100 rental prices fell by 3.5%, while H100 rose by 6.5%. I don't see this as a universal positive: expenditure growth is driven by price increases, rental prices for equipment are diverging, and overall heat doesn't mean every sector benefits.
My risk control reminder: first write down the maximum loss each position can bear, then consider the hype. Last night I was still hoping BTC would quickly break above 81,000; today it touched 81,300 but then fell back to 80,948. It's been like this these past few days—when it drops below 80,000, it feels like it's over, then it pulls back and I don't dare buy. Just as I want to chase, the whales push it down again. Neither bulls nor bears should laugh at each other; holding for a long time wears you down until you start doubting everything.
Today the Federal Reserve will announce its interest rate decision. Reuters mentioned that the market currently expects about a 91% chance that rates will remain unchanged. But with that number out there, the market might not obediently go up. The worst is if it pumps before the announcement to lure people in, then reverses direction once the news is out. I've seen this too many times; I don't want to fully load my position tonight in advance.
The 15-minute 20 moving average for BTC is at 80,961, and the price is hovering right around it. It just touched 81,300 and turned down; for now, I don't want to chase near 81,000. I'd rather wait around 80,700 to see if someone can catch it and stabilize it for a while—then I might try some longs. If it falls below 80,500, I'll exit first; I don't want to keep grabbing back below 80,000 on short-term trades. If it goes up to 81,200–81,300, I'll take some profits first. It hasn't broken through before, so it should at least try again.
ETH isn't weak either; it pulled from 2,298 to 2,357 and is now hugging the 20 moving average at 2,356. If it really falls below 2,330, I won't hold it; if it bounces back to 2,365, I'll take some off. SOL is near 102, with 102.4 just above; I won't touch it for now. What I most want to know tonight is whether after the decision, it can touch 81,300 again.先说结果：这家给散户做交易的券商，这一季营收 14.2 亿美元，创了单季纪录，同比涨 12%；净利润 4.76 亿美元，同比掉 14%；每股收益 0.51 美元，比市场预期少了 5 分；数据出来后盘后一度跌 7%，年内跌幅超过 15%，大概率是 2022 年以来最差的一年。 创纪录和挨打同时出现，原因全在拆开的那张表里：期权收入 3.99 亿美元、涨 31%，股票收入 1.21 亿美元、涨 41%，选举和体育这类「事件合约」收入 1.73 亿美元、是去年的六倍多；而加密收入只有 1.20 亿美元，同比掉 55%，加密名义成交量 500 亿美元、掉 38%。净利息收入 4.15 亿、掉 9%，证券出借和短端利率都在往下走。 加密是券商报表里毛利最高的一条线。这条线掉一半多，还能靠期权和押结果把总营收顶到纪录，意思很明确：钱还在场，但从「配置资产」挪到了「赌一个结果」。同一份报表里还有一行更扎眼，信贷损失准备金 7,100 万美元、接近去年的三倍——押方向的胆子没小，扛风险的胆子小了。这两行摆在一起，比任何一根 K 线都诚实。 报表里还藏着一股政治的味道：这一季有 4,700 万美元是「TThree tokens are telling the same story from different angles this week: price is recovering, but the cost of holding a position is rising alongside it. $HYPE trades at 77.38, up 1.3% over 24 hours, and the funding rate on its perpetual futures has now settled positive for two consecutive payments, each higher than the last. That combination matters more than the headline gain.

ETH is at 2,357, SOL at 102.06. Damn, after waiting so hard these past few days to get above 80,000, just as I wanted to shout a bit, I start worrying about when it will drop back down.
The Fed has an interest rate decision today. Reuters mentioned that the market was expecting about a 91% chance of no change. But the result isn't out yet, and now longs are fully opened, waiting for a spike tonight; even if the direction is right, many might get stopped out first.
BTC's 15-minute 20 moving average is at 80,961, and the price is grinding right against it, with MACD turning down. I now want to wait around 80,700 to see if it can hold and try to add some longs. If it falls below 80,500, I'll exit to avoid buying in just to accompany it back to 80,000. Above 81,200–81,300, I plan to take some profits first; it just reversed after hitting there, and if it really pulls back, I guess many are eyeing to sell.
ETH is similar, 2,357 is close to the 2,356 20 moving average, and after touching 2,369, it retreated again. I want to wait around 2,345 to see; if I buy and it drops below 2,330, I'll exit, and take some profits near 2,365. SOL is now 102.06, not far from 102.4, so I don't want to chase for now. I'll keep a smaller position tonight, wait for the decision, and see which way the whales plan to pull.Why has the prediction accuracy for earnings reports been 100% these few times?
For example, SpaceX, SK Hynix, Robinhood, the beats are all above 80%, or even if they beat, they still won. So how did anyone think to bet No?
To do this, you have to read the rules first, don’t rely on intuition. This market doesn’t look at how much SK Hynix earns, it looks at the SKHY earnings per share shown on the Seeking Alpha page, and it even says not to recalculate yourself. This step determines what to check next.
Find the error on the page. One SKHY ADS corresponds to only 0.1 ordinary shares. Last quarter, the page took the earnings of one ordinary share, $90.62, directly as the actual value without dividing by 10. If this quarter is the same, the page will show twenty or thirty dollars, which would be a beat.
See if this error will be corrected. I checked three other Korean ADS stocks, and the same data source calculated correctly by proportion. The rolling EPS of SKHY on Yahoo is also calculated by ADS. This shows it’s an error that can be fixed, not systemic.
Calculate the real number. Calculated by ADS, the real EPS this quarter is actually low. Roughly calculating from the actual net profit of 39.8 trillion KRW, one ADS is about just over $4, below 6.25. So as long as the page is corrected, or the platform in good faith spots this 10x error, the result is No.
Finally, you still have to compare probability with price to see if the expected value is positive. Hynix's latest earnings report is a bit awkward, with both revenue and profit hitting record highs, but only meeting market expectations.
AI chip demand is indeed strong, but the market appetite has grown even larger. Good performance is no longer enough; it has to exceed expectations.

ETF—Single-day net inflow of 110.3 million, but all from IBIT
On October 26, the US spot ETF saw a net inflow of $110.34 million, ending the previous two days' combined outflow of $773.4 million. However, all inflows came from BlackRock's IBIT, with other products showing zero or negative inflows/outflows. For the entire month of October, ETFs still recorded a cumulative net outflow of about $312 million; the slight weekly positive shift cannot mask the structural monthly hemorrhage.
More critical pressure comes from the ETF cost line: Glassnode data shows the weighted average holding cost of US spot ETFs is about $81,500. Each time the price rebounds to this range, it faces selling pressure from high-entry investors waiting to break even. The resistance between $81,200–$81,500 is not just technical resistance but also psychological resistance from "break-even" holders.
Strategy—Third week of paused accumulation, cash redirected to preferred stock buybacks
Strategy's Bitcoin purchase record is zero for the third consecutive week, the first time since mid-September. During the same period, the company spent $204.9 million repurchasing STRC preferred shares (with a 12% annual interest), instead of buying BTC; free cash dropped from $640.5 million at the beginning of the month to $242.4 million, a 62% shrinkage. The largest corporate buyer has stopped, which is a marginal change that cannot be ignored.
On the other hand, Strive, ranked fourth, bought 6,182 BTC last week (about $511 million), using nearly all its cash balance. The largest stopped, the fourth largest is aggressively buying—the corporate signals are inconsistent and cannot reliably endorse a direction.
Options Market: Deribit DVol index rose to 38, with the implied volatility of Delta 5 put options at 44%, higher than the 38% for calls of the same maturity—downside protection demand still dominates, as the market buys insurance against downside risk after the FOMC. $BTC $ETH $ZEC #谷歌云业务增长82%，AI投入回报如何？ Calculating it, the USDT trading volume increased by nearly 800%, which means close to 9 times that of the same period the previous week, not 8 times. But what concerns me more is the denominator of this calculation: if we replace it with the average of the previous four Sundays, the description becomes more than 3 times. I acknowledge the weight of this risk-hedging demand, but I won't directly judge how long it can last based on the most conspicuous increase.
① Mercado Bitcoin's USDT trading volume increased by nearly 800% compared to the same period the previous week. A single-week comparison shows how urgent the sudden demand is, but it cannot be used alone to judge the usual demand scale; when I see such numbers, I tend to put the excitement aside first.
② The data from the same platform is more than 3 times the average of the previous four Sundays. Quantifying from another angle, after expanding the reference range, the volume increase is still obvious, so this cannot be explained away by a simple "base effect."
③ Biscoint's USDT to Real trading volume increased by 150%. Since the platform and statistical calibers differ, the numbers cannot be directly combined to represent the entire Brazilian market's increase; otherwise, local heat can easily be mistaken for a global trend.
My judgment is that this news is convincing regarding the actual use of stablecoins but still lacks evidence for long-term demand. If the usage continues after election pressures ease, I will raise my evaluation of demand stickiness; next, I will focus on retention, not the largest percentage increase. [Pharaoh's Market Watch]
Microsoft Azure's growth hit 43%, can AI commercialization really hit the gas?
Pharaoh says directly, yes, but this is an acceleration of "others paying, I collecting money," not a "mass celebration" takeoff.
First, look at how solid the data is. Azure's quarterly revenue surpassed $100 billion for the first time, growing 43%, crushing the market expectation of 39%. Microsoft's overall revenue reached $81.2 billion, with earnings per share at $5.12, both beating expectations. The most striking is that commercial contract backlog soared to $625 billion, up 51% year-over-year. What does this mean? It means enterprise customers are not "testing AI," but signing long-term contracts with real money.
But Pharaoh has to dig into the details for you.
First, capital expenditures surged too aggressively. Microsoft's Q3 capital expenditure reached $32 billion, nearly doubling. Although the CFO said growth will slow by 2027, free cash flow is still under heavy pressure.
Second, it's all relying on OpenAI to carry the banner. Azure's growth this round is largely supported by OpenAI's training and inference demands.
Third, Copilot's paid conversion rate remains a black box. Microsoft says Copilot user numbers are rising but has never disclosed specific conversion rates.
Market strategy: Don't chase the rally in BTC just because of one Microsoft earnings report, but keep a close eye on tech stock sentiment
$BTC $ETH $ZEC #微软Azure增长43%，AI商业化能否提速？ #闪迪存储业务高增长能否延续？
On the eve of Thursday's report release, market sentiment leaned bullish, driven by tight NAND market supply and demand as well as strong structural demand from AI data centers. However, since analysts' earnings expectations are already near historical highs (EPS around $46.23), the continuation of the upward momentum will depend not only on key first-quarter data but also largely on the forward guidance for the second quarter.
Three factors supporting potential earnings outperformance $SNDK
1. NAND flash and storage supercycle: Strong demand in data centers, AI enterprise storage solutions, and client solid-state drives (SSD) continues to push average selling prices (ASP) higher.
2. Historical performance: SanDisk has consistently outperformed expectations. In past earnings reports, benefiting from strong gross margin growth and favorable shifts in the product mix toward high-value customers, the company's earnings per share (EPS) have exceeded expectations by double-digit percentages.
3. Data center and enterprise business growth: The market is increasingly shifting toward high-margin enterprise NVMe SSDs and multi-year supply agreements (new business model contracts), which provide revenue predictability and strong pricing power. $xSNDK Taking a look at the contract data, there has been a continuous one-way net inflow for a full 30 days, with over 10 million dollars poured in cumulatively. This amount accounts for nearly half of the market cap, and there hasn't even been a single sizable outflow in between. Everyone is guessing the top and waiting for a pullback in the square every day, while the main force is quietly accumulating underwater every day. Fighting short in a strongly controlled and openly manipulated market only fuels the fire with no other progress. #DOOD $DOOD 👇#10月FOMC利率决议即将公布 $ZEC: Go long!
Strategy:
· Wait for the price to pull back to the 1305-1310 range (EMA5/EMA10 dense support zone) and stabilize before entering a long position.
· The initial target is 1332 (24-hour high); if this is effectively broken, then look at the previous high of 1368. Set stop loss defense at 1290 (below EMA20).
Core basis:
1. Extreme short squeeze: Figure 1 data shows the nominal long-short ratio is only 23.82%, with short positions reaching 213 million U (more than 4 times the longs!). The average short cost is at 1237, and the current price of 1313 has caused deep unrealized losses for shorts (over 12 million U). Once the bulls continue to push, shorts will face an epic short squeeze stampede.
2. Bullish moving average alignment: On the 1-hour level, EMA5 (1313), EMA10 (1307), and EMA20 (1293) are diverging upwards, with price steadily climbing along the moving averages, indicating a strong bullish trend.
3. Continuation pattern buildup: After a previous deep V-shaped rebound, the price is currently consolidating sideways at a high level between 1300-1330, a typical bullish continuation pattern. After clearing profit-taking, it is highly likely to break upwards again, making pullbacks ideal for entering long positions with excellent risk-reward.

#RobinhoodQ3 revenue growth, net profit decline On October 28, the Japanese and South Korean stock markets both opened higher, boosted by SK Hynix's better-than-expected earnings report. The Nikkei 225 index opened at 63,738.98 points, up 0.74%. The Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) opened up 2.2% at 5,763.85 points.
As of the time of writing, the Nikkei 225 index's gains expanded to 1.19%. On the same day, Japan's 30-year government bond yield rose 5 basis points to 3.87%.
Following a rise of over 3% in the previous trading day, the KOSPI is currently up 4.25%. The so-called "storage giants" $SAMSUNG rose more than 4%, and $SKHYNIX nearly 3%.
Before the market opened today, SK Hynix announced its Q3 fiscal 2026 results: operating revenue of 104.62 trillion KRW, a 32% quarter-on-quarter increase and a 328% year-on-year increase, exceeding the expected 98.96 trillion KRW; operating profit of 83.33 trillion KRW, up 38% quarter-on-quarter and 632% year-on-year, beating the expected 77.5 trillion KRW; net profit of 39.78 trillion KRW, up 216% year-on-year but down 58% quarter-on-quarter, below the expected 59.66 trillion KRW. The operating profit margin for Q3 reached 80%, and the net profit margin was 38%. The company stated that growth in AI storage demand drove up prices of key products, with sales growth in HBM4, server DDR5, and enterprise solid-state drives (eSSD) contributing to performance improvement.
SK Hynix indicated that due to increased difficulty in advanced process technology and longer construction times for new production facilities, the supply-demand imbalance in the storage market is expected to continue until 2030. The company plans to accelerate capacity expansion, expecting HBM4 shipments and revenue in Q4 to surpass those of HBM3E; it also plans to increase the share of 321-layer NAND process in domestic Korean production capacity to over 50%.
Regulatory filings show SK Hynix plans to distribute at least 30 trillion KRW in cash dividends from 2026 and to repurchase and cancel at least 60 trillion KRW worth of shares. The share repurchase includes a recently completed 40 trillion KRW buyback.
The three major U.S. stock indices all closed higher on October 27. The storage and optical communication sectors strengthened, with Western Digital and Coherent rising over 6%, Lumentum up more than 5%, Marvell Technology up over 4%, and SanDisk and Seagate Technology up more than 3%. On the news front, Tesla CEO Elon Musk stated that robots' demand for memory will be larger than anything else on Earth. $KORU First consider the worst-case scenario: if the assets cannot be recovered, the claims may also not result in any repayment.
According to Caixin, the BVI court has appointed joint provisional liquidators for 30 entities controlled by Chen Zhishi; Chinese victims may be able to file claims, with over 90,000 BTC having passed through related entities. I focus on the progress of asset preservation and do not consider the volume passed through as repayment capacity.
⚠️ Debt recognition and asset recovery are two separate hurdles. A reminder to myself: verify the claim filing rules and do not count potential recoveries as available funds. Robinhood posted record revenue, but the earnings mix tells a more complicated story.
Q3 results released on Oct 27 showed:
· Revenue: $1.424B, up 12% YoY
· Net income: $476M, down 14%
· Diluted EPS: $0.51
CNBC compared reported EPS with an LSEG estimate of $0.56. A revenue record and an earnings miss can coexist. The useful question is what changed beneath the totals.
Transaction-based revenue rose 19% to $867M, with notable differences across products:
· Options: $399M, up 31% YoY
· Equities: $121M, up 41%
· Event contracts: $173M, more than six times a year earlier
· Crypto: $120M, down 55%
Event contracts generated more revenue than crypto this quarter. That shows how quickly Robinhood’s mix can change, but one quarter does not establish a permanent product hierarchy. Both businesses remain sensitive to customer activity.
Pressure also came from outside transaction revenue. Net interest revenue fell 9% to $415M, reflecting lower short-term rates and securities lending activity. Operating expenses rose 16% to $739M, faster than total revenue.
Net income included $67M in unrealized losses, primarily tied to the mark-to-market of Robinhood Ventures Fund I. Robinhood’s adjusted net income was $550M, with adjusted EPS of $0.60. These non-GAAP measures provide another lens, but they do not replace reported earnings.
The platform still added scale. Net deposits reached about $16B, while Gold subscribers hit a record 5.2M. Deposits and subscriptions support customer engagement, but they are not equivalent to revenue or proof of future trading activity.
The quarter’s message is clear: product diversification can support top-line growth, while rates, expenses, market activity and accounting adjustments still shape profitability.
Robinhood is building more revenue engines. The next test is whether those engines can produce more consistent earnings across different market conditions.
#RobinhoodQ3ProfitFalls Focus on just one number. $ETH is currently standing right at the $2,300 line. It's not just one moving average line, but three numbers clustered together. The realized price is about $2,310. The 200-day moving average is about $2,315. The average cost for wallets holding between 1,000 and 10,000 coins is about $2,328. The difference among these three numbers is only about $18.
Each of these three numbers represents a different group of people. The realized price is the average buy-in price across the entire network. The 200-day moving average is the long-term trend line. The wallets holding 1,000 to 10,000 coins represent mid-sized holders' cost basis. The convergence of these three costs indicates a common bottom line shared by many. It's like three groups waiting at the same intersection for a bus, and no one wants to move first.
The old whales are still active. ICO-era whales transferred out 5,000 coins, about $11.59 million, all moved into exchanges. Their wallets still hold about 45,000 coins, roughly $105 million. Another group of old whales deposited about 7,594 coins to Kraken, approximately $17.77 million. The selling pressure hasn't disappeared, it just hasn't broken through the $2,300 level.
So right now, I’m not watching whether $ETH is going up or down. I’m only watching the $2,300 line. If it closes above, the rebound targets are $2,430 to $2,510. If it closes below, the first targets are $2,100 to $2,150. 🔍 Corporate accounts contributed 78% of the day's trading volume, and I focused on this number: Is the election driving a surge in safe-haven demand, or do corporations naturally dominate the volume? Let's not jump to conclusions yet.
An interesting detail here: the 78% figure is based on a single platform's (Mercado Bitcoin) data, and the source did not provide the usual corporate share, so it can't be directly taken as evidence of a "corporate mass exodus." The report also mentioned that stablecoin and Bitcoin trading volumes have significantly increased.
I believe this is more a clue about corporate fund management rather than a general bullish signal for the crypto market. Here's my speculation: if corporations are just temporarily converting part of their assets into dollars, then the increased trading volume reflects exchange rate anxiety, not a return of risk appetite.
I will continue to monitor whether the corporate trading share falls back after the election. Let's all follow up together: do you think it will return to normal, or will there be a sustained demand for stablecoins? Let's see who guesses closer.$BTC #OctoberFOMCInterestRateDecisionComingSoon
#BTC80KResistanceReboundBlocked: ETF Funds Clustered in Core, Large Holders' Triple Short Positions See Expanding Floating Losses
The 15-minute chart shows BTC rebounding from a low of 79,455, reaching a high of 81,298 before pulling back, currently priced at 80,972. Short-term moving averages are converging and flattening, MACD red bars continue to narrow, KDJ is turning downward, indicating short-term rebound momentum is gradually weakening; key resistance above is 81,020, support below is 79,778, overall still a weak recovery after a decline, short-term downtrend structure not yet reversed.
Clear differentiation in capital flows: Spot ETF BTC net inflow is $110 million in a single day, while ETH sees a net outflow of $88 million. Institutional funds are flowing back from altcoins to core assets, prioritizing allocation to deterministic targets rather than chasing volatility.
Well-known large holder "Maji Brother" maintains triple short positions on BTC, ETH, and SOL with leverage of 5-7x. As prices rebound, unrealized losses on the books have further expanded, with only slight recovery from funding fees; current margin remains sufficient, liquidation price is far from current price, but under high leverage, FOMC decision volatility can easily amplify gains and losses. It is not advisable to blindly follow one-sided bets before the decision.#微软Azure增长43%，AI商业化能否提速？
AI commercialization is indeed accelerating, but profit margins are being severely squeezed by high capital expenditures. One of the storage big three, SK Hynix, also failed to meet expectations.
· Acceleration drivers: Shortened compute supply cycles + Copilot billing model shifting from "per user" to "per usage (Token)," increasing revenue elasticity. Enterprise AI demand is spreading from a few large companies to traditional enterprises.
· Core risk: Extremely high capital expenditures (41 billion USD in a single quarter), causing free cash flow to plummet 23%, and cloud gross margin to drop to 65%. The market's current focus is: with so much investment, how much real profit (ROIC) can be returned?The operating profit margin close to 80% in the material really left me speechless. In the futures market, when supply is tight and pushes profits higher, veterans often ask: how long can this profit last, and will it attract capacity expansion? The report also mentioned that SK Hynix expects HBM4 to become the main driver of the HBM business in the fourth quarter.
In the crypto market, I care more about whether US-listed RWA can clearly explain the underlying equity rather than how much buzz the financial report can generate. My judgment is that good company performance does not necessarily mean the related tokens will benefit equally; if holders cannot receive corresponding returns and the redemption arrangements are unclear, then no matter how impressive the profits are, they might just be fuel for trading sentiment.
My old futures habit is to first look at how the equity is realized before paying attention to the story's hype. Are there any friends who have also transitioned from traditional markets? When looking at these US-listed RWAs, do you first check the dividend and redemption terms, or do you first assess how long the high profits in the storage industry can last? $Q, which surged 2.5 times yesterday, has dropped back 75% today
$Q, which was trending yesterday, has given back all its gains today.
Yesterday, it surged about 2.5 times in 24 hours, reaching around $0.22, hitting a record high. But that surge came without any project announcements, listings, or protocol events to support it; the on-chain structure suggests coordinated market making — a setup we avoided yesterday.
Today: $Q is around $0.055 (Beijing time 13:12), down about 73% in 24 hours, roughly 75% off yesterday’s peak.
A 2.5x rise in one day, a 75% drop the next. The explosive rise on the trending list, without fundamental backing, basically follows this script: first, draw a line visible to everyone, then leave those who chased it stranded at the peak.The current market is way too fake, it's so fake that I can hardly watch.
What is it pretending? Pretending to stabilize, pretending to rebound, putting on a show like "it can't fall anymore, I'm going to V-reverse."
Every time it pulls up a few dozen points, the comment section erupts with people shouting "the bottom is here," "bull market is back." I can't help but laugh, the dealer's acting skills can only fool the new retail investors who just entered.
Look at the trend, $BTC has been smashed down from the highs, and every rebound's high point is visibly pushed lower. The moving averages above are like an iron lid, tightly pressing down, and the pitiful volume below can't support any reversal.
Look at my live position, BTC short was placed directly at the high of 80719.5, now the mark price is 80948.5, although slightly down 0.85%, I'm not worried at all. The current sideways slight rise is purely the dealer "boiling the frog slowly," deliberately creating a time illusion to wear down the bulls' patience and wash out the unsteady shorts.
Stay steady, don't be fooled by the illusion in front of you, the trend is down, this iron lid won't be lifted easily! Hold your shorts tight, let's sit back and watch the show!
$ETH $DOOD #10月FOMC利率决议即将公布 The overall market sentiment is optimistic, but expectations are already set quite high: if cloud business maintains both growth rate and profit margin steadily, it can easily exceed expectations; however, if cloud growth rate significantly declines and capital expenditures continue to exceed expectations, it is likely to fall short of expectations.
Even if revenue and EPS exceed expectations, the stock price may weaken after the earnings report due to aggressive capital expenditure guidance (such a situation occurred in Q2 with earnings beating expectations but the stock falling in after-hours trading).$PONS Why did it rise?
There hasn't been much change in fundamentals in the last 24 hours; 24-hour protocol fees are $330,000, protocol revenue is $50,000. Buyback and burn is 32.8%, actual market cap is $200 million.
No coins were traded on the external market in 5 hours, internal market data is indeed a bit better than before, with more than 10 coins in the last hour. This fundamental data is still too poor.
PONS can rise purely because the top whale, Little Yellow Man, used Robinhood's revenue growth to call the trade, triggering a bunch of short sellers and turning them into buyers.
#RobinhoodQ3营收增长，净利润下降 A single day sees $500 million in buy orders, followed by $400 million in net outflows the next day — the current BTC spot ETF capital flow is not what retail investors think of as “institutions going all in” or “fleeing.”
Breaking down on-chain data and CME positions, traditional large funds are not going long; they are just playing risk-free basis arbitrage. They buy ETFs while shorting futures on CME to earn fixed risk-free returns.
This explains why the capital repeatedly fluctuates:
When the spot-futures spread narrows and arbitrage opportunities disappear, hedge funds sell ETFs and close shorts. On the surface, this looks like hundreds of millions of dollars in violent net outflows.
So what are the real buyers watching? Two key indicators:
Coinbase premium rate:
This is the true pure spot buy volume in the US market without arbitrage attributes. If ETFs see outflows but Coinbase maintains a persistent positive premium, it means the absorbing demand is strong and it’s just arbitrage turnover; otherwise, it indicates real buy demand is drying up.
Concentration of holdings:
During multiple days of over $200 million outflows amid volatility, holdings have not flowed to retail investors but have instead concentrated. This shows the gap left by arbitrage players exiting is being taken up by long-term capital.
This round of shakeout is clearing out leveraged arbitrage players who treated ETFs as a one-way bull market driver. The cleaner the holding structure, the stronger the momentum afterward. Don’t be scared by single-day data during volatile periods; just keep an eye on the Coinbase premium and long-term addresses. #BTC现货ETF资金反复，市场买盘能否企稳？ #Circle's financial report is imminent, can stablecoin growth deliver profits?
Circle's financial report is about to be revealed. The market consensus focus is not on USDC circulation volume, but on how many cents Circle can actually keep from every 1 dollar of revenue.
The problem lies in the structure. Circle's revenue heavily depends on reserve interest (about 95%). Of the $701 million total revenue in Q2, $412.5 million was directly paid as distribution costs to channels—Coinbase alone took $324.6 million. After deducting operating expenses, My Q4 Bitcoin and Altcoin Game Plan
Three macro and time cycle windows circled in my chart from now until the end of the year
Windows:
1. October 24 - November 14 (FOMC and time cycle volatility window): With the FOMC meeting on October 27-28 this week, following the September rate adjustment to 3.75%-4.00%, the next three weeks will be a critical period of false breakouts, stop-loss probes, and intense volatility around the Fed. If BTC sweeps through the $75k-$78k liquidity pocket during this period, I will be a spot buyer, not a panicker.
2. November 13-18 (Cycle turning point and altcoin inflection): Mid-November marks the completion of the 45-day time cycle since the late September volatility peak, coinciding with the release of the November 18 FOMC minutes. Watch how BTC dominance quickly depletes near 60%, shifting liquidity to oversold altcoins around the mid-November turning point.
3. December 8-13 (Q4/Q1 institutional handoff): The final FOMC meeting and 2026 dot plot will be released on December 8-9.
Catch the momentum wave from mid-November to early December, then lock in crowded swing trade profits around December 10-13 before year-end institutional hedging. $BTC There are a total of nine US SOL spot ETFs, with a cumulative net inflow of $1.53 billion, of which BSOL alone accounts for $1.16 billion, about three-quarters. The remaining eight combined total $370 million, MSOL has accumulated $43.88 million, and SOLC has accumulated $3.61 million.
The recent outflows follow the same pattern. On October 22, there was a one-day outflow of $8.51 million, with BSOL outflowing $5.72 million and SOLC still seeing an inflow of $420,000. On October 26, the full-day net outflow was $8.23 million, with BSOL outflowing $7.22 million, GSOL $1.83 million, MSOL still seeing an inflow of $820,000, and the other four had zero inflow and outflow that day. Over the five trading days ending October 26, the total net outflow was $19.1 million.
On a weekly basis, the week of October 2 saw a net inflow of $2.4 million, followed by three consecutive weeks of outflows of $24.81 million, $25.52 million, and $17.3 million, with the $25.52 million outflow in the week of October 16 being the largest single-week outflow since listing.
BSOL is a staking product; the SOL held is locked in the network to earn yield, and the redeemed funds become sell orders on the market, with a time lag in between. The total net assets are $1.55 billion, which, at $100 per coin, is about 15.5 million SOL, accounting for 2.63% of SOL's market value. The scale is this large, so the flow of a single fund basically determines the daily figures for the entire sector. $SOL I am particularly sensitive to the phrase "曾流经" (once passed through) 👀. According to Caixin, the BVI court has appointed joint provisional liquidators for 30 entities actually controlled by Chen Zhi to investigate and preserve assets; the report also mentioned that over 90,000 $BTC once passed through related entities, and Chinese victims may be able to file claims.
This is somewhat interesting, but I tend to see it as progress in asset recovery rather than evidence of new selling pressure in the crypto space. Historical passage does not equal current holdings, and appointing liquidators does not mean immediate sale. Regarding sentiment in small-cap coins, I think what should be more guarded against is large figures being selectively spread, turning judicial news into panic topics.
From my view of highly volatile assets, opportunities and risks often lie where emotions are amplified: if the news is overinterpreted, it may cause expectation gaps and amplify price volatility. I will continue to monitor actual asset disposal disclosures and whether panic spreads to small-cap coins, without rushing to label this news as bullish or bearish.From the Coinbase premium perspective, the recent Bitcoin performance has actually been very resilient. The negative premium on Coinbase indicates clear selling pressure from US institutions. Previous times when such large sell-offs occurred, there were crash-like declines, but this time the spot buying was very strong, successfully withstanding the selling pressure.$HYPE pulled back from nearly 77 yesterday to about 81.4, up approximately 4.6% in 24h, outperforming $BTC (about +1.4%). I'm biased bullish: product completion + compliance narrative still intact, the rebound after the pullback looks more like a position grab before the rate decision.
Hard info: On 10/27, perpetual trailing stop loss will be launched, triggering market orders based on mark price retracement; HL shows HYPE perpetual daily nominal around 330 million U, open interest about 20.9 million tokens, fee rate slightly positive; October protocol revenue so far about 57.2 million, L1 TVL around 8 billion scale. Payward HIP-3* US perpetual still pending approval.
On the rate decision night, will you wait to confirm holding above 80 before following, or buy again near 77? Share your reasons.

The boss has something to say
The US OCC encourages community banks to apply for stablecoin issuance qualifications under the GENIUS Act, allowing them to operate directly or participate through subsidiaries. The strict requirements include 1:1 reserves, redemption, capital, and risk management. The rules take effect on January 18, 2027. Canada is also simultaneously limiting earnings from holding coins, setting a 1% cap on redemption fees.
I believe the significance of this is that stablecoin issuance rights are decentralizing. Previously, giants like Tether and Circle dominated, but now even community banks can enter compliantly. Some comments mentioned HSBC issuing a Hong Kong dollar stablecoin, which follows the same logic—traditional banks are leveraging existing customers and payment networks to enter this space.
This will change the stablecoin landscape, moving from grassroots to licensed operations. Although USDT and USDC are large in scale, they will face increasingly fierce competition from compliant banking systems' strategic attacks.
Market reaction is mild: USDT dipped 0.01%, USDC rose 0.01%. This is a slow variable, representing a long-term institutional dividend.
Overall, this is good for crypto, as broader channels allow more capital inflow. But in the short term, it doesn't directly stimulate coin prices.
Bitcoin had a waterfall drop last night; now we watch if the 80,000 level can hold. If not, expect deeper corrections, with resistance between 84,000 and 85,000. Avoid chasing highs or panic selling; set stop losses properly.
The above analysis is time-sensitive $BTC $ETH $ZEC After looking at this set of long-short ratios, I have only one feeling: BTC's long-short ratio is suppressed to 0.77, while retail investors rush past 2.3; ETH is even more extreme, with a long-short ratio of 0.67 and retail investors rushing to 3.4. One side is desperately buying, the other slowly withdrawing, both opposing each other—this is not a trend, it's a gamble. Not to mention the short-term active trades, where several coins are dominated by sell orders, and every buy from retail
