Damn, I was stunned as soon as this data came out — on-chain monitoring shows that the BlackRock ETF-associated wallet transferred 3,215 BTC to Coinbase Prime on October 23, worth $262 million. At the same time, it also transferred 38,882 ETH over, roughly $93.2 million USD.
What the hell is going on? Isn't BlackRock the largest ETF bull? Why suddenly transfer coins to the exchange? Keep in mind, transferring coins to Coinbase Prime usually means preparing to sell. Coupled with the ETF just having a net outflow of $636 million the day before, this is a bit subtle.
But guys, don’t panic. Coinbase Prime is an institutional trading desk; sometimes transfers don’t necessarily mean dumping, it could also be market-making allocation.
However, transferring such a large amount at this point, combined with continuous ETF outflows, indicates institutions are indeed reducing positions ahead of the FOMC. The short-term pressure at the 81,000 level is not light.

In just three short months, Core DAO has consecutively hit three heavy blows, forming what the market calls the "death trilogy." On 8.31, a reward contract vulnerability erupted, with a few validators excessively minting tokens, directly damaging the inflation model, and 69 million ghost tokens fleeing early; in September, an emergency hard fork destroyed most of the excess tokens but did not roll back transactions, preserving the escaped tokens and only blocking subsequent minting channels; entering October, official validator nodes continued to retreat, active independent validators shrank to fewer than 20, the consensus pool sharply narrowed, approaching the red line of shutdown.
On the surface, each step has an official rational narrative: the vulnerability is a contract bug, the hard fork is to fix inflation, and node exit is a decentralization transformation. But when connected, it is a process of confidence collapsing layer by layer. SatPay delayed, on-chain fees nearly zero, the positive flywheel of revenue buybacks has yet to start, and there is no sustained buying pressure to absorb sell-offs.
The project team has offloaded node operation burdens, but the treasury token disposal rights remain in hand. To clarify boundaries again: staking BTC relies on Bitcoin time locks, with private keys self-held, and principal unaffected by chain governance. But the narrative foundation of the CORE token has been continuously impacted; after the trilogy of events, the long-term stability of this chain is entirely dependent on the remaining small circle of validators.FOMC is getting closer, and there have just been changes on the macro front, so let me break it down for everyone.
Right now, BTC is hovering around 81,500. The big picture is this: the October 27-28 FOMC meeting has entered a blackout period, officials have collectively gone silent, and the market has priced in a 92.8% probability of "no change"; basically, no rate hike in October.
But don’t celebrate too soon. Initial jobless claims at 194,000 are approaching multi-year lows, indicating the labor market remains strong and underlying inflation isn’t dead. The tail of a December rate hike is still up in the air.
Let me explain the three layers of transmission:
Short-term is slightly bullish — no rate hike plus 10Y yield breaking 5%, with support at 82,000; a deep break below 81,000 is tough, so BTC will continue to grind within the 81,300 to 84,400 range.
Medium-term depends on the tone — if the statement is dovish, breaking 84,800 could lead to 87,000; if hawkish, 10Y yield will rebound and BTC will need to retest 80,800.
Hidden risk — pausing rate hikes doesn’t mean easing; it just means no more tightening. Until ETF buying flows back continuously, any rebound relies on short covering, not new long positions.
In short, the 92.8% no rate hike probability just defuses the risk of a sharp drop, but the accelerator for a big rally hasn’t been pressed yet. The market will keep grinding in the range during the blackout period; the direction will be set when the statement comes out on October 28.
#10月FOMC临近，美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数？ #MetaQ3营收超预期，巨额AI投入引发担忧 #存储芯片股再度下跌，AI投资回报担忧加剧 $BTC $ETH $IRYS Abnormal reserve address transfer of 80 million tokens, SatPay still without public testing: The "transparent" lie of Core DAO
On-chain monitoring data shows that Core-related reserve addresses have recently transferred a total of 80 million CORE tokens in batches, routing them to exchanges, sparking huge controversy in the community. The official statement emphasizes that treasury transfers are for compliant uses such as ecosystem funding and node incentives, with the ledger being open and transparent, but they have not disclosed the final destination of the funds or the unlocking schedule, making the explanation hard to convince the market.
As the core blood-generating engine of the 2026 roadmap, SatPay was originally scheduled to launch in the first half of the year, but to date, no public test version has been released, and challenges in compliance and partnership integration continue to be delayed. The originally planned fee cash flow and revenue buyback flywheel have lost their most important support source, and daily on-chain gas income remains sluggish for a long time.
Coupled with the continuous withdrawal of official validator nodes, the number of active independent validators has shrunk to fewer than 20, and the consensus pool continues to narrow. On one hand, the narrative products have yet to be delivered; on the other, large reserve chips continue to move abnormally. The so-called transparency only shows on-chain transfer records, while the real use of funds and unlocking plans remain unclear.
Asset boundaries remind again: users’ staked BTC relies on Bitcoin time locks, with private keys self-held, so the principal is not affected by treasury transfers. But CORE tokens bear dual selling pressure from ghost chips and treasury unlocking, with no business cash flow to support them, making confidence recovery a long way off.Staking BTC on Core Notice: Is the redemption channel still stable after node withdrawal? Latest check in October
Here is the core conclusion first: The BTC principal redemption logic runs on the Bitcoin chain, relying on the native CLTV time-lock constraint. It does not depend on Core nodes producing blocks. Even if the Core chain stops, once the lock period expires, you can still redeem the principal in your BTC wallet with your private key.
Risk segmentation is crucial: The principal redemption channel is independently stable, but CORE reward distribution heavily depends on Core validators. Currently, there are fewer than 20 active independent validators, and the pool is continuously shrinking. If a large number of nodes go offline and consensus stalls, reward distribution will be directly interrupted, and even the reward claim front-end page may fail.
Many people easily confuse two things: Redeeming BTC is governed by Bitcoin script rules; receiving CORE rewards, checking staking status, and the front-end dashboard all depend on the Core chain and relay nodes. After project nodes continuously withdraw, front-end services may stall or go offline at any time, so be sure to back up your staking transaction hash, CLTV script, expiration time, and BTC private key offline. Do not rely solely on the Core web interface for queries.
There is no risk of the staked principal being frozen, stolen, or inaccessible, but the stability of reward income has clearly deteriorated. For staking users, the biggest risk is not that BTC cannot be retrieved, but that after investing time, CORE rewards may be cut off at any time, and the token itself faces long-term selling pressure from ghost chips and vault unlocks.Core DAO Latest Update: Fewer than 20 Independent Validators, Risk of Shutdown if Below 15
The original plan to expand to 31 validators has completely failed. With official nodes continuously withdrawing, the current number of active independent validators has dropped below 20. According to the Satoshi Plus consensus rules, network security depends on more than two-thirds of validators honestly producing blocks. Once the number falls below 15, if a minority of nodes go offline collectively or collude maliciously, there is a high risk of consensus getting stuck and block production halting.
The remaining validators are highly clustered and mostly aligned with the project team's pace. The last hard fork on 8.31 was successfully implemented thanks to their unified cooperation, lacking neutral nodes with dissenting opinions. The project team has offloaded node operation costs and bailout responsibilities but still controls the code repository and treasury chip disposal rights.
Long-standing ecosystem issues remain unresolved: SatPay continues to be delayed, on-chain fees are minimal, revenue buybacks lack cash flow support, and ghost chip sell pressure still looms.
Distinguishing asset boundaries again: BTC staked by users is isolated by Bitcoin time locks, with private keys self-held, so the principal will not disappear if the chain halts. However, CORE tokens face the fatal risk of consensus contraction. The narrower the validator pool, the more the fate of this chain is controlled by a small circle.The truth about burning 150 million CORE: Why is the community still dumping after the hard fork?
Many people think that a large-scale burn is good news and will directly push up the coin price, but the selling pressure continues even after the hard fork is implemented. The core reason is simple: the burn only blocks the future excessive issuance, but the ghost chips that have already fled have not been recovered.
In the 8.31 vulnerability, validators transferred out about 69 million CORE in advance. These chips are not on the burn list, and the holders can freely sell them on the secondary market, which is a continuous overhanging sell order. At the same time, the unlocking rhythm of large original shares from the treasury and contributors continues as usual. The project team withdrew from official validator nodes, removing operational risks, but the chip disposal rights are still in their hands.
A deeper issue is the collapse of confidence: this vulnerability proved that the reward contract and node governance have serious flaws. The so-called decentralization is just a small circle of validators coordinating consensus. SatPay delays, on-chain fees are minimal, revenue buybacks lack real cash flow, and there is no stable buying force to absorb selling pressure.
The burn fixes the ledger's total amount data but cannot repair the already damaged economic model and market trust. People are dumping not because they ignore the burn, but because they see clearly: deflation is a remedial measure after the fact, and the source of selling pressure has not been eradicated. The BTC principal staked is unaffected due to Bitcoin's time lock, but the valuation logic of the CORE token has already been damaged. BTC has been stuck around 81,000 and sideways for almost a day, ETH is playing dead around 2,400, and SOL is grinding near 104. On the surface, it looks calm, but in reality, risks are quietly accumulating.
The data speaks volumes: BTC long-short ratio is 2.22, ETH long-short ratio is 2.74, SOL long-short ratio is 3.03—each more crowded than the last. Funding rates are all positive, meaning bulls are still paying interest to bears during this pullback. In the past 4 hours, the entire network liquidated 187 million, with longs accounting for 173 million and shorts only 14 million.
Prices haven’t dropped much, but those chasing longs are already being stopped out passively. The longer the sideways movement lasts, the more leverage piles up, and once a direction is chosen, it will trigger a chain reaction of liquidations.
#10月FOMC临近，美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数？ #MetaQ3营收超预期，巨额AI投入引发担忧 #存储芯片股再度下跌，AI投资回报担忧加剧 $BTC $ETH $IRYS Core DAO's 2026: Node Withdrawals, SatPay Delays, Buyback Narrative Falls Through—What's Next?
2026 was originally supposed to be the year Core delivered results: generating real fees through SatPay consumer finance and LST asset management, using revenue to buy back tokens to absorb selling pressure, completing the transition from inflation subsidies to business-driven growth. The reality, however, is a triple negative hit: official validator nodes continue to exit, active independent validators have shrunk to 20; the core product SatPay keeps getting delayed, with compliance and implementation difficulties far exceeding expectations; on-chain fees remain thin long-term, and the previously envisioned buyback flywheel has basically failed.
There are roughly three paths ahead. The best case is that SatPay and AMP asset management launch as scheduled, generating stable cash flow, gradually absorbing ghost tokens and treasury selling pressure, though regulatory and partnership uncertainties are significant. The middle path is maintaining the status quo, with a small circle of validators continuing to produce blocks, the ecosystem running slowly, narratives swinging back and forth, turning into a long-term zombie public chain with market action limited to short-term sentiment-driven speculation. The worst case is continued validator loss, consensus fractures erupting, on-chain functions gradually paralyzing, and the team ceasing resource investment.
It remains important to distinguish asset boundaries: users staking BTC rely on Bitcoin time locks, hold private keys themselves, and their principal is unaffected by chain governance. But the CORE token has lost strong growth narrative support, and future market performance heavily depends on product rollout progress. If SatPay keeps missing deadlines, confidence will further collapse. A skyscraper already in operation needs to replace its entire vertical load-bearing system from a concrete core tube to a steel exoskeleton without evacuating the occupants. This is the first thing Alpenglow did on the mainnet. Compressing 12.8 seconds down to 150 milliseconds is not just a renovation; it’s a consensus-layer reconstruction at the load-bearing wall level. Solana is pulling out all the foundation rebar and replacing it while requiring the building to remain fully operational.
When I was making the plan, I knew best: the most vulnerable moment for any building is during the load steps of switching structural systems. The white paper is just the construction permit drawings; what really determines whether this building can stand for seventy years are the treatment of construction joints, weld inspection of nodes, and settlement monitoring data. Alpenglow’s 150-millisecond finality looks good on paper, but the real acceptance test values are the mainnet’s actual block production stability, node density after validator cost reduction, and whether DeFi application layers dare to build supertall structures on this new framework. Liquidity and adoption rate are the building’s occupancy rate and rental return—no one pays full price for an unfinished facade rendering.
Looking further up, tokenized US stock assets like $xAMZN structurally belong to historic building renovations and additions. The original financial framework is existing; tokenized trading is like hanging a new glass curtain wall on the exterior. The curtain wall’s load is fully transmitted by the original structure. Solana compressing settlement finality to 150 milliseconds is equivalent to providing more rigid connection nodes for this curtain wall, reducing the displacement difference between on-chain clearing and stock price discovery. But what do renovation projects fear most? Missing original structural data, mismatched new and old codes, and failing wind load verification for the curtain wall. The linkage of tokenized US stock assets isn’t judged by how impressive the upgrade launch event is but by whether the real on-chain trading depth can support the curtain wall’s own weight.
Validator cost reduction means the equipment floor cost of the tower is lowered, theoretically allowing more elevators. But my thirty years of experience in this field tells me: expanding the equipment floor doesn’t mean the floor load can increase; the key is whether the vertical traffic core distribution and fire zones can pass inspection. On-chain activity, capital inflow, and application rollout pace—these three charts must align perfectly; otherwise, the 150-millisecond finality speed is just a beautiful sales office built on soft ground.
As for those who only look at token prices without considering the load-bearing system, they are like supervisors signing off on structural acceptance with only facade renderings. When the settlement joints crack, it will be too late to supplement the inspection report. #solanaalpenglowupgrade📉 Early Saturday morning, Ethereum just dropped 5 points, but a whale is quietly buying
$ETH 2370, last night’s drop was quite fierce.
It fell about 5% in 24 hours, with $93 million long positions liquidated across the network, breaking below 2400 directly. But if you look on-chain, ETH reserves on exchanges dropped by 170,000 in 48 hours, with big players using BTC to swap for ETH to buy the dip. One address swapped 246 BTC for 8286 ETH. When prices fall, big players are buying, which is the opposite of retail panic selling. The 2370 level is a short-term sentiment point, with some support in the mid-term.
$SOL 104, just finished consensus upgrade and is in observation period.
Alpenglow reduced confirmation time from 12.8 seconds to 150 milliseconds, with a new engine at the consensus layer. The technology is a real upgrade, but the first few days after an upgrade are the riskiest for minor issues. Don’t rush to buy at 104; wait a few days to see if the network stabilizes.
$XAUT 4131, gold stayed flat over the weekend.
Backed by physical gold bars, redeemable within 24 hours. Before next Tuesday’s interest rate decision, with rate hikes suppressing and rate cuts supporting, no conclusion on either side, 4131 remains sideways, and there won’t be weekend volatility.

#10月FOMC临近，美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数？ The intense echo on the radar chart, glowing red to purple, ultimately did not turn into the forecasted heavy rain, but instead directly triggered a downburst. The 26% intraday drop corresponds to the strongest gust recorded by ground observation stations.
Detailed data from phase three was disclosed early: the risk of recurrence or death decreased by 42%, and the risk of distant metastasis or death decreased by 38%, both reaching statistical significance. This is solid upper-air detection data; the sounding curve is flawless, and all indicators fall within favorable ranges. The trial had already reached its primary endpoints, representing a situation field that was locked in long ago.
The problem was never with the data itself, but with the period of continuous warming before the data arrived. Since the beginning of this year, the asset’s trend resembled a continuous half-month of hot and sunny weather, with energy accumulating layer by layer, ground temperatures rising steadily, and warm moist air pushing expectations all the way to the tropopause. The vast majority of ensemble forecast members had already incorporated this "good news" into the initial field, even assigning it overweight. Under these circumstances, a set of sounding data that fully meets or slightly exceeds expectations can no longer raise the temperature; it can only act as a trigger for a cold front.
In jargon, this is a classic expectation gap collapse. It’s not that the weather system worsened, but that the deviation between forecast and reality was corrected all at once. After latent heat release is complete, the updraft loses support, the downdraft takes over, and prices fall straight from the convective cloud tops to the ground, closing down 17.6%, effectively exhausting the previously accumulated instability energy in one go.
Looking at the linkage: the US stock asset experienced violent swings during overseas hours, which mapped onto the token market as an isobar repeatedly pulled back and forth. The steeper the pressure gradient, the stronger the wind speed, and the denser the slippage and gaps. The few hours of thinnest liquidity at dawn corresponded exactly to the most stable near-surface inversion layer, suppressing vertical exchange. Any slightly large order could cause short-term heavy precipitation or even localized hail in the market. After sunrise, as the mixed layer rose and liquidity replenished, prices returned to a relatively smooth profile.
From the perspective of forecasting operations, the most valuable record of such processes is never the result, but the magnitude of the correction. The market’s premium for "good news already on the way" is often more sensitive than the good news itself. The moment the data lands, clear skies do not mean safety; they precisely mean there is no more clear sky left to realize. Forecasters fear not bad weather, but that everyone has already believed in good weather.
It is also important to note that the statistical significance on the cancer vaccine line only indicates a clear direction of efficacy; sample structure, follow-up duration, and indication boundaries still introduce uncertainty, much like the ensemble spread in model forecasts that never fully converges. A 38% reduction in distant metastasis risk is good, but it does not mean the commercialization path is already clear; the pressure field still has room for adjustment.
After the cold front passes, pressure will inevitably rise, but the correction left by this process will be directly written into the next initial field—the moment the good news is realized, the clear sky has already been fully drawn down. #modernaearlydisclosurePeople holding Ripple can take note: the coin price has dropped nearly 20% this month, but the number of wallets holding the coin has hit a new high.
On-chain data company Santiment just reported: the number of wallets with balances on the Ripple chain is now the highest in history, and the number of new wallets opened in a single day is also a rare spike in recent months.
But the price hasn't kept up.
During the same period, large holders have been moving coins to exchanges more actively than in the past six months, which is usually seen as a sign that someone wants to sell.
One more thing, don't get it wrong: more wallets doesn't mean more buyers; one person or one exchange can open many addresses.
Next, watch when large holders stop moving coins to exchanges; this is more reliable than wallet count.
$XRP Just saw a chain go down immediately. A transaction suddenly minted 2 million AUSD out of thin air, and in about 7 minutes, roughly $2.65 million in real funds were withdrawn from the bridge.
At nearly 11 PM Beijing time last night, someone signed a transaction on Initia that minted 2 million uncollateralized AUSD out of thin air. Just 153 seconds later, a cross-chain message released 1.4 million real AUSD on the Ethereum side. In just over 7 minutes, about $2.65 million returned to Ethereum, along with roughly 105 ETH and about 1.08 million USDC on the same path. The attacker finally swapped the loot for about 1,135 ETH, approximately $2.73 million, which now sits in a new wallet. The official response was to halt L1 and all rollups at 15:41 UTC. The founding team pointed the root cause to a zero-day vulnerability in their own MoveVM. The native INIT side is currently unaffected. Those stablecoins on the bridge had already been used as gas before the chain was stopped.
Seeing this kind of thing often still leaves you stunned. Mint a ticket out of thin air, and the bridge redeems it at face value; the gap in between always ends up being paid by someone in the end. This account only records three things: the entry price of each real trade, the stop-loss price, and the trades that lost money. Last week, all three stop-losses were made public; two losses totaled 1.8%, one profit was 3.2%, and the net value curve is pinned at the top of the homepage with an error margin no greater than 0.1%.
BTC stayed flat at 81,400 for a full 24 hours, with a price change of -0.0%. This kind of zero volatility is the most torturous. But at the same time, the entire network's hash rate hit a seven-month high. A new high in hash rate combined with a stagnant price means the marginal miner's cost line is being pushed upward. In the short term, this is selling pressure; in the medium term, it is cost support. These two things are not contradictory, just different time scales.
On the contrary, ETH is quietly strengthening, up 0.4% in 24 hours, managing to close positive while BTC remains completely still. This slight relative strength of ETH/BTC is often more worth watching than the overall market's rise or fall, because capital doesn't notify you when it changes seats.
At this point, do you move your BTC long stop-loss up and hold tight, or do you cut half your position to ETH, betting on a rate recovery?

#OKXProphet $BTC is stuck between 80,000 and 85,000: waiting for the event to unfold 🧊
On October 19, spot ETF net inflows were $526.7 million, dropping to only $23.2 million on the 20th, a single-day shrinkage of 95.6% 📉. BTC is grinding back and forth between 81,000 and 82,000: struggling to break above 85,000, hesitating to break below 80,000. Glassnode defines the box range as 80,000 to 87,000. 80,000 is not just a round number but closer to the average cost of ETFs and listed companies: above it is still profitable, below it turns uncomfortable. There is buyback near 80,000, but the depth is weaker than the peak; at 85,000 and 87,000 there are sell orders and liquidation clusters pressing down. Like a mouse in a cage, whichever side breaks first will set the direction 🐭.
Variable one: daily close at 80,000. Shadows don’t count; only a close below will push watchers into panic, next stop is True Market Mean.
Variable two: oil prices. Brent crude is high at $108–110, geopolitical risks persist, the longer it lasts the more it suppresses rebounds.
Variable three: October 28 FOMC. 94% expect no change in October, 100% expect a rate hike in December; the real risk lies in unexpected wording.
First, do not chase gains or cut losses between 80,000 and 85,000: near 80,000 watch buy-side depth, near 85,000 watch sell-side pressure; short at 84,650 with stop loss at 85,500 can be a reference for short failure. Second, avoid heavy positions betting on direction before FOMC, ETF funds are just swinging before the event. Third, save bullets; liquidity sweep at 79,000 is more likely after FOMC. Right now it’s not a trend, it’s a hover before the event ⏳.Stablecoins want to compete for deposits by "paying interest"? The OCC's final rule narrows the loophole.
On October 21, the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) announced the final rule implementing the GENIUS Act, clearly defining the issuance, reserve assets, redemption, risk management, auditing, and custody requirements for payment stablecoins, effective January 18, 2027. Issuers cannot directly pay interest to token holders, but there is still room for third-party rewards provided by exchanges, wallets, and others.
As a result, yield competition shifts from the issuance side to the channel side: whoever controls the trading and account access can continue to use rewards to retain USD funds. The regulatory framework's implementation is a long-term bullish factor, bringing stablecoins into an auditable and custodial phase; however, in the short term, without incremental funds, the spot prices of BTC and ETH will not be directly affected by this news.
Two lines to watch: how the OCC will subsequently define the boundary between "third-party rewards" and disguised interest payments; and whether issuers will transfer reserve yields to the channel partners. This involves USDC, USDT, and the stablecoin yield sector. Overall, the event is neutral to slightly bullish, while the yield mechanism part is somewhat bearish for interest-bearing stablecoins.
Are you more concerned about the boundaries of channel rewards or the transfer of reserve yields?
Source: PANewsIt's 6 a.m. now, brothers who stayed up all night watching the market, your eyes must be bloodshot by now, right? The US stock market has closed, and the big rebound we waited for all night didn't come; instead, it slowly declined all night. Don't rush to close the software yet, I checked the backend's trump cards, and this data is really unsettling.
First, look at $BTC, currently just over 81,300, grinding the bottom all night. The most frustrating thing is the 4-hour long-short ratio, which is as high as 2.29! This means the more BTC falls, the more retail investors think it's a discount and keep adding positions to hold on stubbornly. With so many bulls crowded in, the main players simply can't start a rally.
Next, look at $ETH at 2,399; the 2,400 level is completely broken. This data is outrageous—the 4-hour long-short ratio has directly surged to 3.02! The screen is full of retail bulls; the ETH position is just too heavy. The current script from the manipulators is very clear: they absolutely won't pump the price unless they completely blow out the high leverage below.
Finally, look at $SOL at 103.75, following the market's slow decline. The 4-hour long-short ratio is also as high as 2.64, with retail investors still stubbornly holding on inside. The short-term trend remains weak.
Summary: With the US stock market closed and this market situation, the more retail investors refuse to admit defeat, the harder it is for the market to find a bottom. I am still watching empty-handed. Trying to bottom-fish now is just giving away heads. Be patient and wait for this wave of leverage to explode before making a move.

#ETF单日流出超6亿美元，BTC价格能否企稳？
#交易之声：你的经验值得被听到 Over the past two days, the market has been more focused on digesting the chain reaction caused by the tech stock sell-off rather than being purely driven by macro data.
After the Nasdaq plunged sharply on the 22nd, risk appetite clearly contracted, and the crypto market simultaneously experienced leveraged liquidations. Within 24 hours, the liquidation scale once approached $440 million, with longs accounting for the vast majority, indicating that previously high-leverage positions were concentratedly cleared during the pullback. BTC fluctuated repeatedly between $81,500 and $81,800, without a sustained breakdown, but the rebound strength was limited, showing that the battle between bulls and bears remains intense at the current level.
Meanwhile, some public chains and privacy sectors showed divergence. SOL is currently oscillating around $104 to $105, generally following the weaker market trend, with short-term resistance near $108 and support at $103. ZEC is relatively more resilient, trading between $1,220 and $1,250. After falling from above $1,360 earlier, it has stabilized somewhat, indicating that some funds still have a preference for privacy features, though overall trading volume has not significantly expanded.
From the market perspective, this round of adjustment is more about releasing previously crowded positions rather than a trend reversal. The emotional impact from the tech stock sell-off is being digested, but new buying has yet to form at scale.
My judgment is that the short term will remain mainly volatile, with a focus on whether BTC can hold steady in the current range and whether SOL and ZEC can develop independent trends. If leveraged liquidation ends but the upper resistance cannot be effectively broken, the adjustment period may be further extended. #10月FOMC临近，美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数？ The pause in rate hikes in October is the baseline, but not a "safe landing." The real risk is not the direct rate hike this time, but a hawkish pause decision that fully prices in a December rate hike; and if inflation + oil prices + wages all exceed expectations simultaneously, a black swan of a temporary rate hike in October cannot be completely ruled out (low probability, but high impact).
At the same time, on the downside risk: continuous weakening of employment and ongoing tightening of financial conditions could lead to the direct cancellation of the December rate hike, initiating a longer period of high interest rate observation.

Of the 4 other times $BTC fell below its 50D MA this year, 3 were followed by a small bounce and then a large drop of of -10% to -35%.
However, the most recent time BTC lost the 50D MA, it was able to quickly reclaim it and then saw a major new uptrend form.#SKhynixQ3HBM4Earnings Korean stock market valuations have fallen to their lowest historical levels, but buying has not yet appeared. The KOSPI index has experienced its third decline of more than 15% within five days this year, and the forward price-to-earnings ratio has been compressed to an all-time low, while fundamental indicators have not shown clear deterioration — this rare divergence is attracting significant market attention.As expected, $IRYS followed exactly the same script as predicted during the day,
The long-short ratio and the rhythm of fund fee changes were also the same as $DOOD,
What I didn't expect was that its contract could surge up to 18 times in one day, with consecutive 1-minute K-lines rising over 20% wave after wave—truly a rare sight!
The contract premium over spot reached as high as 1.3 times,
The dog whale was really targeting the big shorts for a harsh squeeze,
After the squeeze, the shorts didn't even bother to fight back and the price started a free-fall waterfall.
I even suspect these two coins might be manipulated by the same dog whale,
Both are low market cap, high control small coins used for manipulation, with almost identical tactics and rhythm.
It's just a pity that although I predicted the script, my actual trading was still a mess; I couldn't hold the long positions at the low, and I rushed into shorts at the high without waiting for the dog whale's ultimate short squeeze moment—I missed the rhythm entirely.
But I have now clearly seen the purpose behind this kind of clone coin's movement rhythm and the long-short data short-squeeze game; when opening positions, you have to combine market trends with contract market long-short data.
Let this be a lesson this time,
Next time I encounter this kind of situation, I'll be more prepared mentally,
Dog whale, just wait for me!Nasdaq plunges 2%, BTC ETF keeps attracting funds: Why can't institutional buying support the price?
Brothers and sisters, on October 23, the Nasdaq dropped more than 2%, BTC also fell below $81,000, and ETH and SOL faced pressure simultaneously. On the other hand, the US spot BTC ETF had net inflows for three consecutive days, totaling about $1.08 billion. Money is flowing in, but prices are falling—this is the most contradictory situation right now.
I'm focusing on three levels: whether BTC can hold around $80,000; whether ETH can regain and hold $2,400; and whether SOL can recover $105. If ETF inflows continue but prices fail to stabilize, it means buying pressure still can't overcome selling pressure for the time being.
My judgment is that ETF inflows do not mean an immediate reversal. If US tech stocks continue to weaken, the crypto market may remain under pressure; only if BTC stabilizes first, and then ETH and SOL reclaim key levels, will it look more like a risk appetite recovery.
Do you think institutions are buying the dip, or is the selling pressure not yet fully released?
#10月FOMC临近，美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数？ #ETF仍在流入，BTC为何下跌？ $BTC $ETH $SOL ⚠️Don't treat $ETH's "resilience" as a talisman
Is ETH recently stronger than $BTC? Don't rush to be moved. BTC is around 81,300, down 3.7% in 24 hours; ETH broke below 2,400, reported at 2,383, down 5.1%. Within 48 hours, the rebound driven by ETFs was almost entirely given back. 💔
On-chain is even clearer: Whale 0x2Ea2 dumped over 40,000 ETH to exchanges in two days, about $100 million, leaving only 10,000 ETH; a nine-year-old address transferred the last 1,000 ETH to exchanges at an average price of 2,874, cashing out $8.56 million. They are selling between 2,400–2,500, not to pump, but to distribute by borrowing the illusion that "ETH is more stable." 🐋
ETFs also backfired: In three trading days, BTC spot ETFs had net inflows of $1.07 billion, while ETH funds had net outflows of $114.5 million. Institutions are buying BTC and withdrawing from ETH. If BTC can't hold, ETH's high beta will only run faster: since 2026, ETH is about -32%, BTC about -11%; in 2025, ETH's biggest drawdown was -60%, BTC about -10%. 📉
The macro knife hasn't fallen yet: On October 28, the FOMC is mostly priced to hold steady, but the September minutes were hawkish, and year-end rate hikes are still on the table. #10月FOMC临近，美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数？ #MetaQ3营收超预期，巨额AI投入引发担忧 #存储芯片股再度下跌，AI投资回报担忧加剧 Don't just look at the earnings beating expectations; when you break it down, it's all concerns. apple users have grown to 13.6 million, but the money contributed per user per month has dropped from $99 all the way down to $69. The growth is driven by price cuts!
This kind of good news doesn't hold up under scrutiny. Revenue growth simply can't keep up with the burn rate. Elon Musk is using the positive earnings report to push the price up, conveniently allowing himself to sell,Time window: On October 28, SK Hynix will deliver the most critical quarterly report for the “AI storage super cycle.” The market is no longer asking “Is it profitable?” but rather: Has HBM4 started to contribute profits? Can this financial report continue to support the AI computing power narrative? 1. Q3 expectations: The numbers will be explosive, but divergences are also widening Currently, institutional consensus roughly falls within: • Revenue: 95~101 trillion KRW • Operating profit: 74~81 trillion KRW (some optimistic forecasts exceed 80 trillion) • Operating margin: 77%~80%, continuing to set records in the storage industry The driving logic is very clear: 1. High-priced long-term agreements (LTA) for HBM start to recognize revenue—not spot sales, but price and volume locked; 2. General DRAM/server memory prices continue to rise, with DDR5 lead times extended beyond 50 weeks; 3. DRAM bit shipments increase by 10% quarter-on-quarter, with a higher proportion of high-value products. Citibank and Meritz have both raised their forecasts but also warned of the same issue: the HBM4 shipment pace is not as smooth as previously expected. 2. HBM4: The story is real, but Q3 is not full capacity On the positive side: • SK Hynix globally launched the 12-layer HBM4, already mass-producing and delivering to NVIDIA’s Vera Rubin platform; • In NVIDIA’s first batch of HBM4 orders, Hynix secured about 54%~70% share; • Capacity for 2026 and 2027 is basically locked by long-term agreements, giving strong pricing power. Next,Naivety has collapsed
Oil prices have surged to 116, and the crypto market is taking the hit for inflation. My ZEC short position might recover before my long positions.
When Brent crude burns, the Fed's rate cut script goes up in smoke. I believe this is not a signal to "buy crypto as a safe haven," but a trigger for "rate hikes reloading."
$BTC is at 81,000, down 3% in 24 hours but only down 1% over the week. It's like being slapped; still standing, but the face still hurts.
$ETH at 2,404, once dropped 5.5% in a day, twice as bad as BTC. ETFs saw a net outflow of 1.08 billion in October; when institutions cut positions, ETH is always the first luggage thrown off the ship.
$ZEC at 1,236, retraced 20% from 1,595. Grayscale ZCSH redeemed 115 million in October, but Winklevoss is still rushing to submit ETF applications. The money hasn't left, just moved from Grayscale's pocket to another. My 500 short position is still open, no rush.
I think now is not the time to guess the bottom; first, watch the oil price. As long as oil stays above 100, the Fed has no reason to loosen, and the crypto market lacks return flow fuel. If Brent falls below 100, or BTC holds above 83,000 with ETF volume increasing—once I see one of these signals, I'll act.

@bilibiliTradingJi @YourAiBoMisa @YuXinYuXin @PiShen⚡MisaSupportGroup Long position leverage faces concentrated liquidation! This BTC drop looks more like a targeted shakeout! 😤😤😤
The recent pullback can't simply be classified as a normal correction; it seems more like a concentrated cleanup aimed at high-leverage long positions. 😱😱😱
The 24-hour network-wide data is extreme: the liquidation scale of long positions in BTC, ETH, and ZEC overwhelmingly surpasses that of short positions. BTC long liquidations alone reached 130 million U, with high-leverage longs chasing the rally basically wiped out. Meanwhile, BTC funding rates have dropped to a nine-month low and continue turning negative, indicating that the crowded long bubble has clearly been cleared out. The most intense phase of the sell-off may be over in the short term.
Market structure is severely differentiated: BTC ETFs continue to see large net inflows, with institutional base holdings providing stable support; ETH inflows are sluggish, showing noticeably weaker performance than BTC, with institutions showing mixed sentiment.
On the macro front, the October FOMC pause on rate hikes is basically confirmed, but there is still an expectation of hikes in December. This round looks more like a short-term breather window rather than a trend-reversing easing benefit.
Short-term focus: BTC's critical zone is 80000-81500, ETH support is at 2380-2400. If support holds, it will be a consolidation and recovery; if volume breaks down below, a deeper correction will begin.

Open Interest jumped to $27.12B (+8.04%) in the last 24h.
Price is pushing toward $84K, but the move is fueled mostly by new leveraged positions, not spot buying.
When OI spikes this fast, a quick shakeout or liquidation wick often followsTo be honest, $SAND's recent move is a textbook example of "all the good news priced in" that I've seen this year. On October 2, the Korean exchange lifted the warning, and it surged 60% in one day to 0.084. Everyone thought it was about to take off. But on that day, on-chain data showed 56 million tokens transferred to exchanges, with large orders spiking 25 times — this wasn't bottom-fishing, it was running away.
I opened a 50x short at 0.06123, betting on one thing: the exchange's lifting of restrictions sentiment won't hold against the fundamentals. Now the mark price is 0.0519, with an unrealized profit of 761.88%, I was right.
Going forward, 0.052 is a psychological level, and 0.05 is strong support. I suggest taking half off at 0.052 and placing the rest at 0.048, don't be greedy.

The current market situation is more the result of the combined effect of macro expectations and the cryptocurrency capital flow.
The Federal Reserve is very likely to keep interest rates unchanged at the meeting on the 27th-28th of this month, but the market has fully priced in another rate hike in December. U.S. Treasury yields continue to run at high levels, with the 10-year yield fluctuating around 5%, and the high real interest rates suppress risk assets. High oil prices further reinforce inflation stickiness expectations. These factors combined make capital more cautious about high-volatility assets.
After three consecutive days of net inflows exceeding $1 billion for BTC spot ETFs, there was a net outflow of about $636 million on the 22nd, with previous buying quickly hedged, indicating institutional demand is unstable. In terms of price, BTC has fallen back from above $84,000 and is currently oscillating around $81,500 to $81,800, with key support at $80,000 below and short-term resistance between $82,300 and $82,500 above. ETH is also weak, currently around $2,400, with key observation between $2,350 and $2,380; if broken, it may continue to decline.
Currently, tight macro expectations combined with fluctuating capital flows mean the price has not stabilized despite previous inflows.
I believe the short-term adjustment is not over yet. Over the weekend, the focus is on whether BTC can hold $80,000 and whether the Federal Reserve's statement next week will further reinforce the expectation of a rate hike in December. On Thursday, I wrote that I was observing IRYS without chasing, mistakenly drawing the line at 0.0242, and at midnight today it touched 0.409.
Thirty times.
I refreshed the market data three times; both spot and perpetual contracts were fluctuating within the same hour, so it doesn't seem like my data is broken.
First, I admit the part where I was wrong. Starting Thursday, the rate flipped to short sellers paying, and my judgment at the time was that shorts were stepping on each other and would disperse after that.
They really did step on each other; on Friday at 8 PM, the settlement was negative 21 basis points.
What I missed was that money paid out is still money.
On Friday, the price nearly doubled, and open interest piled up to six times. At midnight, the settlement was negative 28.7, and at 4 AM, it directly hit the maximum positive 100. The machine changed direction; this time the longs were paying.
Spot was even colder. To be clear, on Friday, perpetual contract volume was 430 million, spot was 36 million, a twelvefold difference. Bitcoin was flat for the day; only this one was going crazy.
As for why it rose,
I haven't found an explanation.
How it moved during the 0.409 hour, I can't say for sure. It opened at 0.14 and closed at 0.11. Open interest withdrew 70% from the early morning peak.
This is liquidation. Neither side was willing to take it.
The invalidation condition is fixed: if spot daily volume reaches 10% of perpetual, the rate returns near 0, and funds are truly flowing in, I'll admit it a second time. If the hourly candle can't close back above 0.0617, the starting line is broken, and principal plus interest will be returned. It expires at midnight Sunday.
Is the short squeeze ending, or has a new group started fresh?

#TradingVoice: Your experience deserves to be heard#HOODQ3TradingGrowth robinhood chain, robinhood's blockchain where users trade stock tokens, saw dex volume fall 30% to $6.35b in october 6-12. but defi tvl rose to $1.058b from september 30 to october 12, and morpho, a lending protocol, held $486.8m of open loans there. so lending is now a large use, not only trading. that week, borrowers paid about $417k in interest and liquidation bonuses on morpho, but morpho recorded zero protocol revenueETH Gas has dropped to $0.004, making the cost per transaction almost negligible.
Gas prices essentially reflect the supply and demand of block space: a decrease in network demand may lower fees, and improvements in scaling and execution efficiency can achieve the same effect.
The implications of these two scenarios are completely different.
If Ethereum provides cheaper transactions through technical upgrades while maintaining security, this is progress that benefits both users and the ecosystem. But if low fees persist long-term due to insufficient on-chain activity, it is necessary to further observe transaction demand, ETH burn volume, and validator income to assess whether the network's economic model is affected.
From the Gas perspective, Ethereum has almost become a substitute for Solana, but this comparison is only in terms of transaction fees.
Transaction experience, liquidity, application ecosystem, and security ultimately determine which chain users choose.
Low Gas is a phenomenon; what truly matters is why it happens and whether this low cost can be sustained long-term.BTC stands on the cliff edge at $81,000 (｡•́︿•̀｡)
Right now, BTC's biggest pain isn't the drop itself, but the $81,000 ETF cost line being repeatedly tested. It was the "ceiling" during the May rebound, and now it has turned from resistance into a defensive line; if it can't hold, market attention will shift down to the mid-$70,000 range for support.
On-chain signals aren't good either: short-term whales' unrealized profits have evaporated by 53% in half a month, leaving only $4.6 billion; a single day saw 10,600 BTC rushed into exchanges, 2.8 times the monthly average. Translation: big players' patience is thinning, and their urge to cash out is growing (╥﹏╥)
The funding side is cooling off as well. In the first half of the year, spot ETFs saw a net outflow of $5.4 billion, marking the first half-year negative growth. BlackRock's IBIT still attracted 99.6% inflows in April, but outflows of $5 billion occurred in May-June, showing a rapid shift in sentiment.
So currently, there is a triple squeeze: risk of losing the cost line, whale selling pressure moving to exchanges, and ETF capital retreat. If $81,000 doesn't hold, the mid-$70,000 range becomes the next psychological test; if it can stand firm again, there is a chance to rewrite the "danger" into a "shakeout" (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

#10月FOMC临近，美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数？
#ETF单日流出超6亿美元，BTC价格能否企稳？
#MetaQ3营收超预期，巨额AI投入引发担忧 #10月FOMC临近，美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数？ 🏛️ Quiet period + 92.8% pause pricing: BTC's “macro buffer” is in place, but the knife still hangs on 10.28
BTC at 81.5K sideways, macro environment just shifted——
10.27–28 FOMC enters quiet period, officials silent, market prices in “no change 92.8%,” October rate hike basically off the table
10Y yield falls below 5%, real rate pressure temporarily eased, “oxygen” for risk asset valuation recovery returns
But initial jobless claims at 194K near multi-year lows = strong employment resilience, underlying inflation not dead, December hike tail still looming
Three layers of transmission to Bitcoin:
Short-term positive: no rate hike + 10Y below 5% → 82K supported, 81K hard to break deeply, consolidation box (81.3K–84.4K) continues
Medium-term watch wording: 10Y rebounds, BTC retests 80.8K; if “cautiously dovish” → break 84.8K to target 87K
Hidden risk: pause ≠ easing, just “not tightening further.” Before ETF buying flows back continuously, rebound relies on short covering, not a main uptrend
Translation:
92.8% no rate hike = removes the “sharp drop catalyst,” but no “surge accelerator.”
10Y below 5% is the dessert, initial claims 194K is the reminder—the Fed stops verbally but still holds the December knife.
BTC now: grinding at the top of the box during quiet period, wording on 10.28 will set the direction. $BTC $BTC moved only -0.01% in 24 hours, with an amplitude of 1.2%, staying between 81,051.4 and 82,035.3. The euro is heavily shorted, and it has to go through the dollar to reach the crypto circle: the interest rate spread widens, the dollar strengthens, dollar liquidity tightens, and risk assets suffer first. This line has not yet entered the market. DVOL is 37.3, and the options market has not priced in large volatility; the funding rate for three periods rose from 0.0054% to 0.0100%, indicating longs are leveraging up. The put/call volume ratio is 1.20, higher than the open interest ratio of 0.93, meaning more short-term protection buyers, and long liquidations of $13.06 million also exceed short liquidations of $9.03 million. I lean toward short-term pressure, first testing the lower boundary at 81,051.4. If the dollar continues to strengthen, the higher the funding rate goes, the easier it is for longs to be washed out. Conditions for a bullish reversal: holding above 82,035.3 and the funding rate not spiking, indicating the euro issue has been digested by the market. At that time, this news will carry much less weight for $BTC.Checked the data while getting up at night to use the bathroom; prices bounced up, positions dropped — this rebound lacks momentum.
SOL shows the deepest divergence: up 0.24%, positions down 1.32%, volume down 26.79%; ETH up 0.62%, positions down 0.64%, volume down 34.04%; BTC hovered around 81415, up 0.11%, positions down 0.80%, volume down 35.75%.📊
Total network volume 163.257 billion, down 21.79%, liquidations 329 million down 30.28%, long-short ratio stuck at 49.03 to 50.97. Price up, positions down, volume collapsed — all signs point to shorts below.
This isn’t new money entering, it’s old positions exiting. Volume dropped about 30%, no one is following the bounce; BTC in wallets increased by 38,500 coins to 2,497,000, the selling pressure ammo is stacking.⚠️
FOMC meeting on 27th and 28th, 92% consensus for no change in October, all suspense is on December. Fear and greed index at 51 neutral, US dollar index at 101.6 still high, gold hovering at 4006, hawkish players hold all the cards, no one dares to open new positions in this vacuum period.
This rebound is like the foam of a receding tide, looks like it’s surging up but water level hasn’t risen an inch.
Longs have defended above 81000 for several days, 24-hour low at 81099; 24-hour high at 82061, hasn’t broken through.
Before positions return, I only see this rebound as a window to reduce positions, not to chase. Only if it breaks below 81000 will shorts have a new story; if it stands above 82000, then I’ll talk about trust. Reduce, don’t chase, wait for position signals.🕯️ Early morning talk about three coins not much related to interest rates

Bitwise's Dogecoin spot ETF, ticker BWOW, has been liquidated, everyone took their money home. Institutions tried to productize meme coins like Dogecoin with no cash flow but failed. Don't expect the "Dogecoin ETF" story to pump the price in the short term; 0.08 now is purely community sentiment, and no one cares over the weekend.
$UNITREE 76.81, the robotics theme is still bouncing.
When tech stocks overall weakened, it actually rose more than 6 points, running on an independent theme. On-chain share pricing depends entirely on primary financing and product delivery; the market cap is small, so one piece of news can move it several points. Distinguish between real delivery and pure hype.
$RE 0.389, the small insurance coin is basically offline on weekends.
On-chain risk compensation pool, rules are written in contracts for automatic claims. 0.389 has thin trading volume, even fewer viewers on weekends. It needs a market event with chained liquidations on-chain for the market to remember it; for now, just hold.

🔶 On October 12, XRP dropped 4.89% with a volume of about 268.7 million; on October 22, it dropped 4.15% with a volume of about 235.6 million; on October 21, it rose 2.19% with a volume of about 285.9 million (Investing.com).
📊 The highest volume in the past two weeks was on October 15, about 317.8 million, with only a 0.24% increase that day; the lowest was on October 17, about 117.7 million (Investing.com).
🧭 On down days, volume is not necessarily the largest; the data from these two weeks does not show volume-driven sell-offs.
🕒 Volume is calculated based on UTC daily data; different platforms have different standards, so numbers may vary.
The volume not increasing with price—whether this means limited selling pressure or just cautious observation—I am not sure, and I might be wrong.
📍 The levels I am watching:
$1.30: current support
$1.33: the level broken on October 22
$1.37: the first level above
Do you think the low volume during XRP's decline suggests limited selling pressure, or that no one is willing to buy?

On-chain data reveals first: Around $80,000, the cost lines of ETFs and public companies' treasuries are stacking up. Glassnode says this is where buyers are regrouping; but if the daily candle breaks down, support will thin out, and the price may test the True Market Mean. 📉
Jiang Zhuoer throws out another card: full short at $84,650, targeting $79,000–$79,700, stop loss above $85,500. He’s not watching direction, but the long liquidity cluster on Coinglass—breaking below $79,160 could trigger mainstream CEX liquidations up to $1.947 billion. 🎯
The same candlestick, two narratives: institutions talk cost, hunters talk liquidation. Cost support is real, but support is meant to be tested; liquidity hunting is real too—first smash through, eat stop losses, then decide whether to pull back. ⚔️
More subtle is timing: ETF inflows plunged from $527 million to $23.2 million, institutions haven’t fled but are pulling back; the Fed decision is looming. Bulls don’t have much time. ⏳
So 80K isn’t the answer, it’s the battlefield. Holding and reclaiming with volume will turn shorts above $85,500 into fuel; losing the daily line means $79K isn’t a target but a starting point. 🔥
Solid bottom or paper bottom? Let’s see who blinks first. 👀#美国多家银行限制AIAgent访问客户账户 $BTC's fee revenue in the past 30 days is about $7.3 million, with on-chain revenue scale far below its market cap weighting.
Bitcoin's on-chain revenue is not "lively":
● Fee revenue in the past 30 days: about $7.3 million
● Mainstream chain ranking: Solana $27.8 million > Ethereum $18.1 million > Bitcoin $7.3 million
● Average daily transaction count: about 701,700, year-on-year +49%
● Average fee: about 492 sat, equivalent to $0.41 The transaction volume of Bitcoin is rising, but fees have not followed. Its value logic leans more towards a "scarce asset" rather than an application-oriented public chain that relies on on-chain fees for revenue. $BTC In two hours, 0.8% of the principal is taken by funding fees, 0.4% in one hour; shorting for a few hours results in a loss of over 200 U, who can bear that? Have you recently felt the frustration of "the direction was right, but the money didn't stay" when shorting? My first reaction to seeing these numbers is not sympathy, but alertness. Because it indicates that the holding cost in the perpetual market has become so expensive that it can swallow a decent short-term profit. A 1x short position gains 15 points on paper, but after deducting 237 U in funding fees, only 1778 U remains net; the direction is correct, but the rhythm is bitten by the fee structure. My strongest feeling from watching the market these past two days is that this doesn't look like a start, but more like a divergence in the late continuation phase. The price is still holding, the sentiment hasn't dissipated, but the cost-effectiveness of holding positions is deteriorating. High funding fees usually mean one side's positions are too crowded, leverage costs are pushed up, and short-term traders start paying to "choose sides." At this time, the market is no longer trading on simple expectations of rise or fall, but on who can endure the costs first. It's clearer when viewed in cross-market linkage. For mainstream assets like ETH, funding fees tend to be hot, often corresponding to risk appetite still being present, but entering a stage requiring higher costs to maintain; for more thematic, volatile assets like ZEC, short-term funds are more likely to amplify sentiment, rising sharply and falling back quickly; if BTC remains strong simultaneously, the catch-up rally narrative for altcoins will be ignited; conversely, if BTC stalls, high funding fees become the straw that breaks short-term positions. In other words, the same rate signal is fuel during the startup phase, but a bill during the distribution phase. There is also a bullish path: if the rate falls while the price does not decline
