This short on $ETH trades the brief fatigue of the “high-level narrative” under macro sentiment pressure. Recently, the market has been in an internal bloodletting mode, with even the core large-cap asset ETH facing accelerated profit-taking and weak buying support.
From 2,470.68 down to 2,396.24, this follows the tide of long liquidation. Riding the trend captured gains from this dip, but ETH could be squeezed at any time due to sudden macro news or ETF fund flow reversals.
Focus on whether the rebound has volume. In terms of operation, quickly take profits in batches, move the stop-loss line down, and never be greedy for the tail under 100x leverage. $BTC $ZEC #特斯拉Q3汽车毛利率回升，自由现金流转正 ETH Weekly Report (10-23)

Core: The bull liquidation lines for the three major coins are almost touching the current price; a slight dip could trigger a chain of liquidations, causing sell-offs to trample each other and amplifying the decline due to liquidations themselves. Conversely, breaking above to hit bear stops requires crossing a much greater distance, making the rally cost significantly higher. ⚖️
Conclusion: The area within 1% below is a high-risk trap zone; bulls should not defend positions too far apart. If you want to bottom-fish, wait for the liquidation wave to subside—don’t catch a flying knife at the edge. 🧯#10月FOMC临近，美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数？ #特斯拉Q3汽车毛利率回升，自由现金流转正 Brothers! AI storage $SNDK $SOXL might still have a chance!
The 10-year US Treasury yield fell below 5%, and Trump also made a statement directly accusing Iran of causing incidents that pushed up oil prices. #10月FOMC临近，美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数？
Let's start with the crude oil line.
Previously, the core constraint suppressing AI and storage was inflation concerns caused by rising oil prices. This statement essentially gives the market an expectation: this round of oil price increases has elements of subjective speculation, leaving room for easing and decline afterward.
If oil prices cool down, inflationary tension will ease, and the market will start trading rate cut expectations again. US Treasury yields will decline, which just opens a valuation recovery window for growth sectors.
Looking at US Treasuries, the 10-year yield falling below 5% is the first time since September 23, with a single-day drop of nearly 15 basis points.
Growth stocks naturally benefit from low interest rates, and the decline in US Treasury yields is a positive catalyst for high-valuation sectors like AI and storage. Storage has been suppressed by rate expectations, but now there are signs of easing macro pressure.
However, this should not be taken as an immediate signal for a big rally; we must distinguish between expectations and reality.
Trump's remarks are just verbal statements and do not mean oil prices will immediately reverse and fall. The Middle East situation is complex, and geopolitical risks may fluctuate at any time. Whether crude oil can continue to decline depends on actual supply and conflict developments.
This recent drop in US Treasury yields is only a temporary weakening, not a trend reversal.
Regarding the storage sector we track:
This is a very timely positive signal.
The previous decline in storage was not due to a breakdown in demand logic for HBM or AI computing power, but macro liquidity expectations holding it back. Now that the constraint shows signs of loosening, combined with the upcoming Hynix earnings report, it adds another layer of potential positive resonance.
Two scenarios:
✅ If oil prices gradually fall, US Treasury yields continue to decline, and Hynix's HBM guidance beats expectations, AI and storage could see a decent recovery rally;
❌ If geopolitical risks flare up again and oil prices surge, this round of positive expectations will quickly be dashed, and the sector will remain under pressure.SanDisk (SNDK) is highly likely to exceed market expectations in this earnings report, which is expected to be an important catalyst for the stock price to shift from oversold to recovery.
There are three main reasons for this judgment.
First, the fundamentals remain in a strong range. The company’s revenue last quarter was $8.965 billion, a 51% quarter-over-quarter increase, with a gross margin of 84.6% and non-GAAP EPS of $39.25; the next quarter’s revenue guidance is $10.3 billion to $10.8 billion, with EPS guidance of $44 to $46. Even according to the company’s own guidance, revenue and earnings remain strong.
Second, market expectations are already significantly low. The current stock price corresponds to a forward P/E ratio of less than 7 times, indicating the market has already priced in "NAND cycle peak and gross margin decline." If the earnings report confirms the gross margin remains above 83%, and the next quarter’s revenue guidance is not below market expectations, there is room for valuation to recover upward.
Third, contracts and buybacks provide additional support. Long-term agreements have covered more than half of shipments for fiscal year 2027, and large customer prepayments reduce demand volatility risk; the company’s remaining buyback authorization of about $15.5 billion also helps stabilize earnings per share and market expectations. $SNDK Total liquidations across the network reached $431 million! SOL is merely being dragged down, while HYPE has internal logic issues💥
🤯 In the past 24 hours, $431 million worth of liquidations occurred network-wide, with long positions accounting for nearly 60%, marking a major market cleanup. The nature of the declines for the two is completely different: SOL is collateral damage from the broader market, while HYPE is driven by internal selling pressure.
🌐 Macro triggers
US inflation exceeded expectations, the Federal Reserve's rate cut expectations cooled significantly, the dollar and US Treasury yields rose, combined with geopolitical and AI sector selling pressure, leading to collective deleveraging of risk assets.
💎 $SOL
The Alpenglow upgrade was implemented, significantly optimizing performance and reducing validator costs by 60%, a fundamental positive. However, ETF funds continue to flow out, and the positive effects are overshadowed by macro factors. Key support to watch is at 102.24.
⚡ $HYPE
This week’s 9% drop far exceeds BTC’s decline, with the HYPE/BTC rate plummeting below 100,000 satoshis, showing independent weakness. The CFTC has lifted restrictions on perpetual contracts, new platforms are entering, and Hyperliquid’s monopoly narrative is being challenged.
💡 Insight
A market pullback is the best touchstone; when the exchange rate breaks down, be cautious that the narrative around the asset has already changed. On October 23, the blade cut toward the bulls. In 24 hours, the entire network liquidated $157 million, with long positions at $109 million and short positions at $47.68 million; a day earlier, shorts were still suppressing longs. BTC slid from 84,800 to 83,000, and leveraged long positions were first liquidated.
BTC liquidations totaled $108 million, with longs at $29.45 million and shorts at $5.46 million, long-short ratio 0.90; in the last hour, $42.64 million was liquidated, 97.5% from longs. Once 83,000 broke, bulls stopped out more aggressively than shorts covered; at 85,500 above, there is a pileup of short liquidations.
ETH is at $2,443, liquidations $85.9 million, shorts $51.6 million, longs $34.4 million; in the past 4 hours, longs liquidated $15.8 million, shorts only $400,000. Funding rates: Gate 0.0094%, OKX 0.0078%, Bybit -0.00138%, Binance -0.000185%; long-short ratio 0.81.
SOL near $106, liquidations $11.94 million, longs 83%, shorts $2.04 million, about 2,030 people; large accounts long-short ratio 2.87, position tilt 67.7% vs 32.3%; long-short ratio 0.87.
Greed index rose 3 points to 67, 7-day average 59; BTC 0.90, ETH 0.81, SOL 0.87, no extreme crowding.

📌Reviewing the past three cycles
2014: Bitcoin + Gold, took 14 months to bottom out
2018: Bitcoin + Gold, bottomed and rebounded in 14 months
2022: Bitcoin + Gold, similarly formed a major bottom in 14 months
This bear market cycle of Bitcoin relative to Gold has already lasted 19 months.
The time cycle has exceeded expectations, the downside has been fully released, chips have completed turnover, and risks are basically cleared.
💡Personal thoughts
History always repeats, but never simply replicates. The previously stable 14-month bottom cycle has now extended to 19 months. The bullish logic is that the cycle has bottomed and selling pressure is exhausted, expecting a new bull market to start in November.
However, stay cautious: cycle patterns are just past statistics, not guaranteed scripts. Geopolitical conflicts, liquidity policies, and black swan events could disrupt the rhythm, so don’t heavily bet solely based on historical timelines. Here's a fact:
$ZEC has dropped from a high of 1,368 to 1,230, a decline of about 10%, but this time the trigger wasn't on ZEC itself.
BTC surged to about 84,800 last night but was pushed back to 81,800. Tesla and Meta earnings reports have revived concerns about AI spending, causing altcoins to fall even harder than BTC.
The decline in ZEC's open interest is greater than the price drop (according to CoinDesk statistics at the time): longs are closing positions, not adding to them.
NU7 on November 6 (GMT) is still on the calendar; this round looks more like a leverage liquidation rather than a narrative being disproven. Anthropic @AnthropicAI's financials really don't look good. Revenue in the first half of 2026 was about $16.3 billion, but net loss exceeded $80 billion. About $72 billion of that is the fair value change of convertible bonds and other financing instruments, which is a non-cash accounting treatment; excluding this part, the book loss is about $8.7 billion. What’s even more worrying is the cash flow—just on computing power and infrastructure in the first half of the year, nearly $9 billion was spent, annualizing to almost $18 billion. By the end of 2025, cash and short-term investments on hand were about $20.3 billion, which at this burn rate can only last a little over a year. Even more troublesome are those locked-in contracts. It has signed cloud computing agreements worth about $450 billion over the next 7 to 10 years with Amazon, Google, and Microsoft, plus chip leasing and data centers, with long-term infrastructure commitments exceeding $600 billion. Regardless of whether the business can be commercialized later, these payments must be made according to contract. Meanwhile, DeepSeek @deepseek_ai also released its data: a single cluster processes 15.5 trillion tokens per day, and at the industry's lowest prices, each GPU can still generate an average of $38 per hour in revenue. It relies on underlying architecture and inference optimization to minimize costs and remain profitable even at low prices. Without spending hundreds of billions on GPUs and building data centers, it can still run at extremely low cost and very high throughput. So, does the story of high investment and high output still hold? Polymarket @Polymarket has already been institutional fund inflows have dropped to zero, and after the ETF channels were withdrawn, the capital structure of this recovery consists only of retail investors and whales. The role of institutional capital is not to boost prices but to serve as a pricing anchor. When ETFs were present, every subscription represented a compliant channel's allocation intent, with volatility absorbed by buyers and market makers. After the anchor was removed, the market turned into a battleground: retail inves$IBM's earnings report exceeded expectations on both fronts, but that doesn't mean the AI story is safe.
$IBM official Q3: Revenue $17.1 billion, up 5% year-over-year, operating EPS $2.95, and they raised the full-year free cash flow guidance.
Market expectations were revenue $16.8 billion, EPS $2.86 (Motley Fool).
After-hours it once rose 7.3%, but during the conference call it reversed to about a 4.6% drop.
I think the real signal is in the CEO's comment: customers are starting to worry about AI spending "getting out of control, with no real returns."
The earnings report is about the past; this comment is about the future of the budget.
On 10/22 it opened low near 241, surged intraday to 256.27, now back to about 249, which is even lower than the previous close of 251.46.
My approach: observe, don't chase.
Wait for a volume-backed close above 256.27, then treat it as a breakout.
If it falls below 240.62 (10/21 low), it means the earnings rally failed, so stay away.
Do you think it will push back up to 256, or fill back down to 240?

#IBMQ3EarningsBeat $IRYS tokenomics are fragile, with a circulation rate of only 20%, an FDV/market cap ratio exceeding 5 times, and a locked-up supply like a dam about to burst.
Recently, it has been hyped using AI narratives, with a low circulating supply combined with a high turnover rate, causing rapid capital inflow.
I precisely entered a 10x long position at 0.01486, current price 0.02167, with an unrealized profit of 458.27%.
Short-term surge to 0.022 faces resistance.
Risk: Perpetual long accounts account for over 73%, leverage is extremely crowded. Once reversed, it will trigger a long squeeze, so strict stop-loss is necessary. $BTC $ETH #10月FOMC临近，美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数？ On the day $665M poured into IBIT, I stared at the screen in disbelief for two seconds. On the same day, ETH was flowing out — doesn't this scene look a bit familiar? On October 19, the US spot Bitcoin ETF saw a net inflow of $526.6 million, with BlackRock's IBIT absorbing $665.2 million in a single day, marking the largest single-day record since October 2025. Meanwhile, the Ethereum ETF had a net outflow of about $103 million. Putting these numbers side by side, the direction is very clear, like two diverging paths. My first reaction wasn’t "bullish reversal," but rather recalling a previous position mistake: chasing large single-day inflows only to buy at a peak of sentiment, then getting worn down over the next two weeks. So this time, I prefer to first look at the nature of this money. A subscription of IBIT’s scale likely comes from rebalancing by allocation-type accounts, not short-term hot money. It enters slowly but is not easy to withdraw in a single day. The implication for BTC is that the support at the bottom has thickened, the depth of pullbacks may be compressed, and the rhythm shifts from sharp drops and rebounds to grinding upward. But there is a detail easily overlooked in cross-market linkage. ETH’s simultaneous outflow indicates that institutions’ preference this round is not for "crypto as a whole," but for BTC as a single asset. Risk appetite hasn’t fully warmed up; it has just contracted to the core asset. Consequently, altcoins will likely continue to lose attention, BTC’s market share is supported, and the ETH/BTC exchange rate is under pressure. If this pattern continues, ETH’s rebound will rely more on its own narrative rather than the overall market. The bullish path is very clear: allocation accounts.$TSLA surged to 395 right after the earnings report, then dropped to 365 pre-market, opened today pulled back to 388, now at 380, a roller coaster ride overnight.
The fundamentals aren't actually bad.
Earnings per share 0.48, everyone expected 0.43, revenue 28 billion also a bit higher than expected.
Free cash flow 1.5 billion, analysts originally thought this quarter would burn nearly 5 billion.
What really makes people hesitate is that this year's capital expenditure was cut from 25 billion to about 20 billion, without specifying where the cuts are.
They talk all about AI, robots, Robotaxi, but are saving money in practice. Reuters headline directly wrote "before a possible SpaceX deal," and everyone started guessing wildly.
I have some Tesla, the long-term holding kind, not selling today nor rushing to add.
If it can hold above 386, consider it a false alarm; if it falls back below 370, just let it cool off for a few days.

On the eve of the earnings report, the market pins its hopes on HBM4.
However, it will take time for HBM4 to ramp up production; the main driver of Q3 performance remains HBM3E.
Computing power demand supports the memory market, but competition and capital expenditure pressures persist.
The focus this quarter is not on immediate profits, but on the yield and order guidance of HBM4, which is the key factor determining future profit potential.Around 921,000 BTC chips have accumulated near $83,000, approaching the 1 million mark. The last time a similar scale appeared was on August 3 this year, when chips at this price level reached about 1.05 million. Regarding the possible inclusion of Coinbase historical consolidation wallet chips, Murphy stated that about 550,000 BTC are related to Coinbase wallet consolidation from a year ago, but it is currently unclear how many positions remain; according to his estimate, only 100,000 to 200,000 may remain, so this factor can be temporarily ignored. BTC has entered the first chip gap zone below $83,000. Since the price previously passed through this area with insufficient turnover, returning to this range again creates an attraction effect, driving chips to turnover again and filling the gap. BTC encounters resistance when attempting to move down, and may then try to move up again to find a direction with less resistance. $83,000 is also a key focus of the current long-short game; whichever side gains the advantage may drive the market to form a new trend#交易之声：你的经验值得被听到 $BTC Tonight, volume, open interest, and active buying and selling all show divergence simultaneously.
1️⃣ Volume expands while open interest actually declines
In the past 24 hours, the total contract trading volume across the market reached $210.534 billion, an increase of 12.94%.
Spot trading volume was $19.134 billion, up 6.34%.
However, total open interest dropped to $143.303 billion, down 3.33%. Liquidations rose to $373 million, an increase of 50.86%.
With volume increasing, open interest decreasing, and liquidations expanding, the market is undergoing frequent turnover and leverage clearing.
2️⃣ Bears dominate for three consecutive periods
In the past hour, long positions traded $1.663 billion, short positions $1.946 billion.
In the past 4 hours, longs traded $6.689 billion, shorts $7.134 billion.
In the past 24 hours, longs traded $32.280 billion, shorts $34.289 billion.
Active selling leads in all three periods, indicating the short-term momentum remains with the bears.
3️⃣ Trading continues to concentrate on mainstream coins
BTC contracts traded $72.585 billion, accounting for 34.48%, ETH traded $40.821 billion, accounting for 19.39%. Together, they account for over half of contract trading volume.
SOL traded $6.084 billion, only 2.89%, showing significantly less heat.
This is not a broad market recovery but a continued concentration of funds into BTC and ETH. Until open interest grows again, tonight’s market structure remains weak, and whether the market will fall further is unknown.In this morning's spot market snapshot, TIA's 24-hour price change was -5.24%, with a price range of 0.5761—0.6469 USDT. The adoption of technology and the formation of net demand for tokens are different issues. Fee pricing, competition, and circulating supply collectively influence the outcome; the importance of infrastructure alone does not justify any valuation as reasonable. If paid demand growth is sufficient to offset supply pressure, relative weakness may improve; if usage growth still cannot translate into economic value, a low price does not necessarily mean undervaluation. #SK海力士Q3财报在即，HBM4能否提振盈利？ The profit side is very likely to surpass 2025; the revenue side is unlikely to see a significant breakthrough, most likely remaining flat or experiencing slight fluctuations, but there is an important negative factor that will eat into Q3 profit growth: litigation provision risk. $TSLA Musk was asked about the merger and said, "It's like tap dancing in a minefield" — this phrase itself is the best risk warning.
On October 20th, at the SpaceX earnings call, he revealed that both companies have each established independent special committees of directors to study the merger, and also said "it's a good idea." Once the news broke, Tesla closed at 386.47 on the 21st, up 3.41%, with a cumulative increase of over 9% in three days. But this is option value, not cash flow — no terms, no timetable, and it still has to pass regulatory and shareholder approvals. On the day of the earnings report, he refused to elaborate, and the stock price gave back that premium that night.
So I don't pay for rumors, I only use them to judge sentiment positioning. When it dropped to 370.27, the merger premium had already been wiped out, leaving a clean pricing. I bought more here, now at 381.33, up 74.67%. If the rumor is realized, I earn more; if it falls through, I'm already above cost and won't lose. $BTC $ETH
#10月FOMC临近，美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数？ 🟢$UNI This position is the easiest to wash people out! As soon as it drops, people turn bearish; when it rebounds, they chase longs, and in the end, they don't profit from the market but pay a lot in fees!
Brothers, on October 22, UNI fell back to around $7.1, which indeed looks weak in the short term. But interestingly, on October 19, CME launched UNI futures trading, followed by the first institutional block trade. Meanwhile, Uniswap's protocol revenue in September reached about $14.81 million, a new high since the fee switch was activated. One is the expansion of institutional trading channels, and the other is the growth in protocol revenue—both logics are worth keeping an eye on.
📊 Key levels highlighted directly!
$7.05–$7.10 is the support area to watch now; only if it holds and shows a stop in the decline structure should short-term dips be considered for buying; above, first watch $7.37, and after stabilizing above that, look at $7.60–$7.65. If volume breaks out, the rebound has a chance to extend further. Conversely, if it breaks below $7 effectively, don't stubbornly hold; next focus is around $6.80.
Why am I biased bullish? Not because a drop means a rise, but because UNI's protocol revenue mechanism is changing, making token value capture more worthy of attention than before.
But good news doesn't mean an immediate pump; short-term trends still face pressure.
$MEME $ZEC #10月FOMC临近，美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数？ $INJ surged to 9.41 on Tuesday after the news about the Korean won stablecoin, now down to 7.94, losing 15% in two days.
The news itself is not insignificant.
Injective signed a cooperation agreement with Korean custodian BDACS, allowing the Korean won stablecoin KRW1 to settle real assets directly on-chain without going through the US dollar.
South Korea's top five exchanges have seen stablecoin net outflows for 18 consecutive months, totaling $10.4 billion, so this gap is real.
However, what was signed is an MOU; minting and redemption still require regulatory approval, and South Korea's digital asset basic law is still in process.
The 9.4 level was tested once last week as well, and both times it didn't hold. Today the market fell again, with BTC dropping back below 82,000.
I usually don't chase such paper gains. Now that it hasn't even held 8, it's even less urgent.
I'll wait until it stands back above 8.5 before taking another look; until then, I'll leave it alone.

$ETH has narrative hooks, with much greater elasticity than $BTC.
BTC is more of a "digital gold" asset, with a relatively single story; while ETH is tied to the Layer 2 ecosystem, staking yields, upcoming network upgrades, DeFi, AI Agents, and multiple narratives, making it more closely linked to the AI and storage sectors we've been tracking. Speculative traders focus on short-term thematic plays; only with a story is there room for hype.
With the same amount of capital, when the market warms up, ETH's price elasticity will be significantly higher than BTC's; speculators profit from this difference in elasticity.
There is a relative return trading idea: buy strength and hedge weakness.
Speculators are not simply bullish on ETH; many are doing rotation trades of [BTC relatively weak, ETH relatively resistant to decline].
They judge that even if the overall market continues to pull back, ETH, relying on its own catalysts, will decline less than BTC; once market sentiment recovers, ETH will rebound more strongly. This is a typical internal capital shuffle; funds have not completely left the crypto sector, just switched targets.
BTC is the market anchor, suitable for cashing out; ETH is suitable for short-term speculation.
BTC is the emotional foundation of the entire market; when it falls, its selling pressure directly triggers panic. But speculators are well aware of this risk: this switching is a short-term behavior, not a long-term layout.
The hidden risk here: if BTC breaks down into a major bear market, it will be difficult for any coin to have an independent rally; ETH will eventually be dragged down as well, and rotation trading will become invalid.ZEC rose 12.6% yesterday, then surged to 1,368.86 today before turning down, hitting a low of 1,216.22 — three positive factors combined only resulted in a single bullish candle.
The three positives from the day before yesterday: NU7 scheduled for early November, block time reduced from seventy-five seconds to twenty-five seconds; the Wens brothers said a market cap at 10% of Bitcoin would be worth $5,000; ETF net inflows.
Yesterday closed at 1,340.73, with holdings increasing from 139 million to 176 million USD.
But today it only surged $17 more than yesterday.
Trading volume has already surpassed yesterday's, but holdings retreated to just over 140 million.
I think none of these three positives change the holding returns.
NU7's speed is confirmed, ZEC has no staking, and 62% of fees will only go to miners in 2031.
The Wens brothers' $5,000 is a market cap back-calculation, not new money. The real price driver is leverage, not belief.
Since October, the 1,340-1,385 range has been tested for 11 days, never closing above the band.
Yesterday's bullish candle looks like a window for reducing positions trapped since September's 1,695.
At this level, I observe but do not chase.
If it stands back above 1,340.73 with volume shrinking below yesterday's, I admit I was wrong.
If it falls below 1,191, the breakout is completely invalidated.
On November 5th, the landing day, if still below 1,340, "the positive factors are fully priced in" is confirmed.
Do you think the upgrade landing day is the end of the positives or the start of a second wave?

#TradingVoice: Your experience deserves to be heard
#PositiveFactorsOnlyWorthOneBullishCandle$SPCX $#SpaceX's performance surges, can the merger with Tesla advance? # At 11:05 AM Eastern Time, the price is $149.73, down 6%. In the first 95 minutes, 76 million shares traded, reaching 82% of the normal full-day volume (20-day average 92.5 million shares).
Information revealed by the trading volume:
Most trades occurred at the open. The unlocked shares surged at the opening bell, then from 9:45 AM onwards, only 5 to 9 million shares traded every 15 minutes.
The opening price was the high point ($154.19), then every 15 minutes set a lower low, gradually falling to $149.38. This is a slow bottoming under light volume, not a panic sell-off. No capitulation large bearish candle has appeared yet, which would signal sellers are exhausted.
The price is $2.66 below today's VWAP ($152.39), so almost everyone who bought today is underwater. VWAP is a defensive line that needs to be reclaimed.
The price has returned to the old range of $140.66-$151.01, 72 cents above $148.66. If the daily close falls below $148.66, it will fill Wednesday's gap and constitute a failed breakout, with the next target at $143.27.
Honest interpretation: The pressure from unlocked shares is being absorbed, but not cleanly yet. Closing back above $152.39 on shrinking volume would be a strong rescue. Closing below $148.66 on volume exceeding 150 million would be a real warning.#MetaQ3 revenue exceeds expectations, legal fees and AI expenses under pressure Meta's earnings report vividly illustrates a "tale of two extremes." The hot part is revenue: $64.6 billion, up 26% year-over-year, with both ad volume and price rising (impressions +10%, unit price +14%), indicating that AI recommendations are indeed fueling the core business. The cold part is profit: a $9.89 billion litigation settlement directly cut operating profit down to $12.99 billion, halving the profit margin to 20%.
More noteworthy is the cash flow: quarterly capital expenditures reached $34.9 billion, even exceeding operating cash flow, causing free cash flow to turn negative for the rare instance (-$2.12 billion). Zuckerberg's bet on AI is spreading its cost from the "income statement" to the "cash flow statement," and it remains to be seen whether AI products like Muse can quickly convert these investments into real cash.The October FOMC meeting is about to start, and the market is all shouting "pause rate hikes." What uncertainties are really hidden in this? Pharaoh directly says the uncertainty is not in the 85% probability of no rate hike, but all lies in Waller's words and the dot plot. First, look at market pricing. CME data shows the probability of holding steady in October is as high as 85% to 87%. A few days ago, Waller played a "silence is golden" act at the IMF annual meeting, saying "no forecast on meeting outcome," directly slashing the rate hike probability from 27% to below 15%. Goldman Sachs then pushed the next rate hike forecast to December accordingly. But Pharaoh must emphasize, these three uncertainties can overturn the market at any time. First, inflation is far from dead. September core CPI rose 0.3% month-on-month, PPI year-on-year hit 6.3%. San Francisco Fed President Daly said there’s no need to act in October, but her exact words were "further adjustments are very likely needed." If Waller insists at the press conference that "inflation remains too high," then the October pause is just a "fake move." Second, the dot plot and December expectations. The probability of a cumulative 25 basis point hike in December is now as high as 76%. No hike in October does not mean tightening is over, it just pushes the knife back one month. As long as Waller hints at a December hike, the dollar and US Treasury yields will immediately surge, and Bitcoin will get hammered again. Third, government shutdown and balance sheet reduction. The US government shutdown has lasted over three weeks, key economic data releases are delayed, and the Fed is essentially making decisions blindfolded. Plus, Waller has consistently advocated aggressive balance sheet reduction, so the liquidity string remains tense Google's quarterly earnings report, I tend to expect it to exceed expectations, but the real highlight is not just the revenue.
First, Google Cloud is the biggest highlight. Last quarter, cloud business revenue grew 81.8% year-over-year, reaching $24.8 billion, with AI computing power demand still strong. Bank of America expects Google's revenue and earnings per share to exceed market expectations this quarter.
Second, AI competition is escalating. After Meta's Muse launched and quickly gained users, Google also needs to prove that Gemini can not only attract users but also truly drive search, advertising, and cloud business revenue.
But the risks are also obvious: Google's capital expenditure is expected to reach $195 billion to $205 billion in 2026, and whether AI investment can be converted into profits will directly affect the market's valuation of it.
My judgment: the probability of the earnings report exceeding expectations is relatively high, with cloud business as the core catalyst; but whether the stock price can rise still depends on the progress of AI commercialization and capital expenditure guidance.

Although $BTC recently broke through 84,000 alongside the tech stock rebound, the 10-year US Treasury yield is approaching 5.3%, and the probability of a rate hike in December is being priced higher. ETF inflows have also noticeably slowed, and spot buying can't keep up with the derivatives' heat.
I opened a 100x short at 83,517.8 following the trend, betting on a bull stampede under macro pressure. The mark price dropped to 81,545.2, but with 100x leverage, the margin for error is extremely low; a 0.5% adverse move triggers liquidation.

💡 Personal thoughts
This is a typical long-term rent-collecting short strategy. Even though the unrealized losses are currently high, as long as the market remains slightly bullish and funding fees are positive, funding fees can be steadily collected every day.
The liquidation prices are far from the current prices, so there is no short-term liquidation pressure. The bet is on a later trend reversal; when the market pulls back, they can recover unrealized losses and also profit from the price difference.Burning while unlocking, which side does the $HYPE supply-demand balance lean toward?
Comparing burning and unlocking on the same coordinate system, the deflation narrative loses some credibility. HYPE burns about 22,000 tokens daily on average, while on October 29, a single unlocking event released about 9.92 million tokens, equivalent to more than 400 days of total burning. More critically, there is a structural issue: burning is a passive variable at a steady rate, dependent on transaction fees, whereas unlocking is a fixed, large-scale supply increment, with a large number of tokens still queued for future release.
In other words, the deflation speed depends on the income side, but the inflation schedule is fixed on the timeline. The two are not symmetrical forces. The objective conclusion is: at the current stage, $HYPE is in a "deflation mechanism without deflation results" state; burning serves more as emotional support rather than a supply-demand turning point.
True relief of supply pressure can only be confirmed after the unlocking peak passes and income remains high. It is premature to discuss net deflation at this stage. The US and Iran are about to take action again, and the market has already taken a hit on oil tankers.
Latest news: The US and Israel have formulated a high-intensity plan to strike Iran after the midterm elections, targeting energy facilities and nuclear facilities;
7 oil tankers were damaged in the Strait of Hormuz in a single day, and the US Embassy in Saudi Arabia has begun evacuating personnel.
WTI surged straight to 100, $BZ Brent crude reached 112, what’s rising is not oil, but the risk premium.
🛢️ Oil price logic
• The strait is not closed, but the "reliability of passage" has collapsed: war risk, detour fees, and crew wages are all being repriced
• Low inventory + tight diesel supply, any slight disturbance easily causes pulse-like surges
• Short term sees a strong oscillation between 100–115, a real closure would push it to 130; only a deal in negotiations will reduce the premium
Looking at $BTC, it has retraced from above 84k, dropped below 82k, currently around 81.6k, down over 2% in 24h, with more than 90,000 liquidations across the market.
Logic explained differently:
• Oil rises → inflation expectations swing back → US Treasury yields surge, rate cut expectations delayed
• Interest rates rise → Nasdaq/chips fall first (Semis -4%, Meta -6%) → risk assets all get sold off
• This round, BTC is not a "Middle East corridor asset," it’s being liquidated first as a high beta risk asset
So now it’s not a "oil up, crypto up" decoupling narrative, but oil up → tightening expectations → crypto down re-coupling.
Short term outlook:
• If 82.5k breaks, the next support is the 80k psychological level, breaking that could easily spike down to the 78-79k liquidation zone
• A rebound depends on Nasdaq stabilizing + US Treasury yields falling, otherwise any bounce is just a chance to reduce positions Top 10 public blockchains by global project token holdings
Is there one you like?As of the early U.S. stock market report, the S&P 500 index fell about 0.8%, the Nasdaq dropped about 1.5%, and the Dow Jones decline was relatively smaller.
There are several main reasons this time:
1️⃣ The AI story is still there, but the market is starting to do the math
Tesla and Meta's earnings reports failed to dispel market concerns about AI investment costs and return cycles. Large tech stocks like Nvidia and Amazon are also under pressure.
The market is starting to ask: After investing so much money, when will it actually make a profit?
2️⃣ Rising oil prices add fuel to inflation
The Middle East situation has the market worried about energy supply, and oil prices remain high. If energy prices continue to push inflation higher, it won't be so easy for the Federal Reserve to ease policy later.
Next week is the Federal Reserve meeting, and what the market fears most now is not simply no rate cut, but inflation recurring, causing high interest rates to last longer.
3️⃣ What does this have to do with BTC and ETH?
Yesterday, tech stocks rebounded, and BTC followed with a surge; today, U.S. tech stocks weakened again, and the crypto market's risk appetite may also be dragged down.
If U.S. stocks continue to fall and oil prices keep rising, BTC and ETH's rebound will likely face pressure.
Watch two things:
① Whether the Nasdaq continues to weaken;
② Whether oil prices and inflation expectations further deteriorate before next week's Federal Reserve meeting.
Personally, I am still bearish in the short term. A rebound does not mean a trend reversal. Let's see how the market moves first, then decide when to switch from short to long, especially with contracts. Don't ignore position sizing and stop losses just because you are right about the direction.
$BTC $ETH I don't know how many long positions have been lost along the way, and quite a few are trapped, I just hope this market can recover quickly #10月FOMC临近，美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数？
AI, storage, $SNDK $SOXL tech sectors are all in the green, many people's accounts have suffered heavy losses, but the bulls have not given up and are still holding on stubbornly.
The core of this round of sell-off is still the chain reaction caused by rising crude oil prices. Oil price $BZ continues to rise, inflation expectations are rising again, the market keeps pushing back rate cut expectations, US Treasury yields rise, and high-valuation tech growth sectors are naturally under pressure.
Even though the fundamental story of HBM and storage long-term contracts remains, short-term valuations are suppressed in the face of liquidity expectations.
The bulls who are holding on now mostly believe in the long-term cycle of AI storage. They see the current decline as a macro-driven oversell and are unwilling to give up chips at low levels, even buying more as prices fall.
But the risk is clear: the sector currently shows no obvious sign of bottoming, and crowded long positions are a double-edged sword.
If Hynix's earnings report exceeds expectations and the positive news is realized, these steadfast funds will unite and trigger a recovery rebound;
If the earnings guidance falls short of expectations, the confidence of the bulls holding on will likely collapse collectively, causing a wave of concentrated stop-loss stampede and accelerating the downtrend.
This is not a bottom-fishing signal, just a hard clash between bull faith and macro bearishness.
Losses are still expanding, whether the resistance will work depends on the upcoming earnings reports as the key touchstone. Rushed up near 1.40 then fell back to 1.32, my suggestion for $XRP at this position is not to rush
Around 0:00 Beijing time today, $XRP touched about 1.399, just a breath away from 1.40.
Then it dropped all the way down, now OKX is around 1.32, the 24-hour low has been 1.3145.
CryptoQuant's Darkfost pointed out today that over 1 million XRP flowed into Binance whales, with a monthly average of about 112.4 million USD, a new high since March this year.
Spot XRP ETF is even weaker, SoSoValue shows net inflow on 10/21 was only about 708,500 USD, with almost no flow in the previous two days.
I think this is not the ETF supporting it, but more like big holders reducing positions during the rebound, while exchanges are still accumulating the coins.
The XRPL fixCleanup upgrade has also been postponed from the originally scheduled activation on 10/23 to the earliest 11/4 due to insufficient validator support.
First, see if 1.30 can hold; only after standing back at 1.37–1.40 should we talk. If the 4H closes below 1.30, it fails, and the next support to watch is 1.25.
Will you wait for 1.30 to stabilize before taking action, or first see if ETF flow can pick up again?

#ETF买盘持续回流，BTC为何仍未走强？ Look at this 24-hour liquidation heatmap, it’s quite informative.
$BTC liquidated 167 million, the largest in the market, with longs accounting for 58.7%. The structure is very clear—the price oscillates repeatedly above 80,000, and those chasing longs get cut back and forth; a slight rebound triggers long liquidations, a slight drop triggers more long liquidations. This isn’t caused by shorts dumping, it’s the result of choppy consolidation. Bulls refuse to give up, indicating the market still has heat, but from a leverage perspective, all are floating corpses; the positions of those chasing highs are not clean, and their stop-loss orders could drag down the rebound at any time.
$ETH liquidated 88.5 million, with longs at 54.6%, slightly milder than BTC. Interestingly, the liquidation structure is similar to BTC’s, indicating that ETH’s move isn’t an independent event but purely follows BTC’s oscillation and suffers together. The tone for this week remains unchanged: ETH itself lacks direction; it moves as BTC moves. It’s better to watch BTC’s leveraged positions than to trade ETH’s.
$ZEC is the only large red area on the map, with 15.94 million liquidated dominated by shorts. This is very eye-catching—all over the network longs are being liquidated, but here shorts are getting liquidated instead. Recall my long position opened at 1400, which seemed absurd at the time; now seeing it struggle repeatedly near 1000 with shorts liquidating in waves shows there are buyers holding the bottom. This is the pattern of a speculative coin: when shorts feel secure, it’s time for a liquidation. Long bulls, please stop😭😭 Although the bulls have been doing well in the past few months, we can't keep going long forever. Right now, we are just fattened sheep; survival is the priority. Let's honestly stay out of the market and wait for Hynix $SKHY earnings report #存储芯片股反弹，AI扩产与竞争并存
Crude oil $BZ continues to rise, while AI and storage $SNDK sectors keep weakening under pressure. An interesting market phenomenon has appeared:
The lower the price falls, the higher the proportion of bulls becomes. Despite repeated losses, bulls keep entering to bottom-fish.
The root cause is that people's long-term fundamental faith in storage is hard to shake.
Many bulls firmly believe in the logic of HBM long-term contracts, continuous AI computing power expansion, and NAND supply-demand reversal. They attribute this round of decline to external disturbances caused by oil price-driven inflation expectations and rising US bond yields, not a breakdown in industry logic.
In their eyes, this is not a market reversal but a discounted entry opportunity for AI storage. Every drop attracts a batch of faith-driven capital to enter and position.
But there is a big hidden risk here.
Currently, macro factors are suppressing valuations; rising oil prices = delayed rate cut expectations, making it hard for growth stock valuations to rise.
Even if industry logic is sound, before interest rate expectations reverse, the market will struggle to have a smooth main upward trend.
The more the price falls, the more bulls there are, indicating continuous crowding of chips, with layers of trapped positions above plus newly added bottom-fishing positions.
Even if a rebound comes later, any slight surge will trigger massive profit-taking selling pressure from bulls, making it easy to spike and then fall back, and hard to have a clean, decisive reversal.
The current contradiction is clear:
Bulls are betting on [short-term macro disturbances, fundamental recovery after earnings release];
Bears are trading on [rising inflation, liquidity tightening suppressing growth sectors].
The upcoming watershed event is the Hynix earnings report.BTC and ETH played a "elevator horror" today, with whales rotating positions and retail investors changing their memes.
Today's market in one word: surge, then free fall. BTC touched nearly 85,000 last night, then smashed through 82,000 during the day, hitting a low of 81,730; ETH slid from above 2,500 down to 2,396, dropping 2.77% in 24 hours. The entire network saw liquidations of $269 million in 24 hours, with longs accounting for nearly $80 million, over 100,000 people liquidated, and longs contributing nearly 60% of the "fuel" $BTC
Whales were basically split personalities today. On one side, short-term whales' unrealized profits shrank from 9.8 billion to 4.6 billion in a month; on October 20 alone, they sent 10,605 BTC to exchanges, 2.8 times the monthly average, clearly saying "I'll place a sell order first, you do as you please." On the other side, a mysterious address sold 1,917 BTC over 11 days to buy 64,500 ETH, but ETH/BTC still dropped 8% this month, a lonely swap, but the posture must remain elegant.$ETH
And retail investors? The long-short account ratio is still fluctuating between 1.56 and 2.76, greed index at 68, price falling but sentiment still "greedy." In plain terms: they say "waiting for stabilization," but their fingers have already developed calluses on the long button.

Zcash supports both shielded and transparent transactions; whether the wallet defaults to shielded affects the experience. Just having privacy in the name doesn't mean all transfers are inherently hidden.

$ETH 2441, basically flat in the last 24 hours, the destination of fees needs to be broken down 🔥
Ethereum's base fee is burned, while the priority fee is paid to validators, so the total Gas paid by users does not all exit the supply.

Higher user spending may come from different parts; do not treat total fees as a direct net reduction of ETH. To assess net supply changes, issuance must also be included for a complete calculation.Two completely different pricing logics in the semiconductor sector🏭
🏠 $SLX 0.04849 (+2.32%) Physical rent logic
Solstice splits wafer facility equity into on-chain shares, holders receive contract rent flows, similar to industrial REITs. The underlying lease terms are long and rents fixed; prices do not follow short-term chip spot fluctuations. This is the fundamental difference from storage tokens. Secondary market trading around 0.048 is light, mainly for long-term allocation funds, focusing on lease renewals and rent terms, far more important than daily price swings.
💀 $SNDK 1374.9 (-1.90%) Spot cycle logic
In stark contrast to SLX's contract cash flow model, this product focuses on NAND and enterprise SSDs, with prices directly tied to storage spot cycles and inventory levels. The current pullback stems from sector inventory sentiment; company shipment fundamentals have not significantly deteriorated. Awaiting earnings to disclose inventory and enterprise order data, market divergence will then converge.
📈 $BTC 82355.8 (+0.51%)｜Core position
Long-term chip holding ratio is high, short-term turnover is sluggish, 82300 amplitude narrows. The futures-spot basis is near flat, funds have not preemptively bet on a one-sided move, range-bound awaiting macro news, short-term likely to remain on the sidelines, spot strategy preferred.

"Bitcoin ETF inflow, institutions hedging at $82,000"
In the past two days, US spot ETF buying has seen net inflows of hundreds of millions of dollars daily, yet Bitcoin's price has been stuck around $82,000, surging to $84,500 only to be pushed back.
Wall Street institutions are using the ETF channel to perform basis arbitrage, buying spot while shorting on the CME for hedging. Along with veteran miners withdrawing and switching positions overnight, the net buying pressure has been completely offset.
The market is now hovering around $81,600, waiting to see which side of these arbitrage long and short positions will close and settle before next week's Fed decision. $BTC $ETH $BTC $SOL 23:20 US market session, the market shows a clear one-sided downward trend.
BTC is currently at 81588, down 3.46%, with the 7-day low of 81491 within reach; ETH is quoted at 2398, down 4.21%, and the ETH/BTC ratio has fallen back to 0.0294. Among 32 mainstream liquidity trading pairs, only 2 closed higher, 30 declined, with BTC accounting for 39% of market volume.
Noteworthy divergence signal: the Fear and Greed Index remains at 68, in the greed zone. Prices continue to fall, but market sentiment has not turned pessimistic accordingly; such sentiment mismatch usually is not a bottom characteristic.
Yesterday's short squeeze targets collectively retreated: ZEC -7.6%, NEAR -7.5%, FIL -8.9%. This shows the previous rebound was driven by leverage rather than real incremental buying support, and the market retreat speed is much faster than the rally phase. The total daily turnover was 1.43 billion USD, with no volume expansion.
Current thinking: remain on the sidelines. Prices are near the 7-day low, with neither panic selling on volume nor effective support seen, so the subjective judgment is that directional risk is relatively high.
Tonight, will everyone choose to reduce positions to avoid risk, or buy the dip? Staring at the charts of ZEC, XRP, and BCH all night, the more I look, the more I feel the sentiment is even more honest than the candlesticks. Have you ever had that feeling—no sharp drop, but the market just feels uninspiring? Here's what I see. ZEC is actually the most "contradictory" one: NU7 mainnet activation is set at block 3,543,405, block time reduced from 75 seconds to 25 seconds, Grayscale had a net inflow of 15.18 million on Wednesday, contract OI raised to 2.89 billion, price stands above the daily and 4-hour EMA50 (1210) and EMA200 (1235), RSI at 61. Sounds smooth, but the daily candle needs to close above 1338/1350 to truly open the space to 1500; if it falls below 1288, we have to reconsider 1200. It’s the most storied and easiest to be priced in advance among the three brothers. XRP is much quieter. EMA50 at 1.375 and EMA200 at 1.374 act like two doors pressing down, only supported by EMA100 at 1.337, RSI is soft at 44 to 45, MACD slightly turned negative. Interestingly, the long-short ratio is 0.67, a monthly low, with retail still betting on a drop. At this position, I tend to take a closer look—when sentiment is one-sided, it’s often not the most comfortable entry point, but also not a place to casually short. BCH is the most straightforward. The daily chart broke down from an ascending wedge, MACD bars converging near the zero line, still standing on the critical 200-day moving average; the 4-hour chart has already dropped below the 200-period moving average,#特斯拉Q3汽车毛利率回升，自由现金流转正

#特斯拉发布新一代Roadster，行情走高 There is a very obvious phenomenon in the current market: $SOL's popularity has clearly cooled down. #Solana迎Alpenglow升级，目标150毫秒确认
Previously, whether it was offline events, community discussions, or speculative trading sentiment, everything was very intense. Now, compared to $BTC and $ETH, its discussion and capital attention have dropped significantly.
On one hand, related domestic events were postponed, causing short-term sentiment narratives to cool off directly. The expectation of a wave of incremental funds brought by the events was dashed, and many short-term speculators exited early.
On the other hand, during this round of correction, SOL itself showed greater volatility and a deeper drop. Many who chased the highs and got trapped have either given up or cut losses and left.
Capital now prefers to contract, prioritizing BTC and ETH, which have stronger liquidity and can be supported by ETF funds, and are no longer willing to touch more volatile and fragmented public chain altcoins.
Another point is that its fundamental narrative currently lacks new catalysts.
There are no major ecosystem updates or large positive news to attract attention. AI-related stories have temporarily been overshadowed by HBM and the storage sector, while market focus has shifted to the main themes of semiconductors and crude oil inflation.
However, low popularity does not mean an immediate bottom.
There are two types of cooling popularity: one is the late stage of consolidation, where floating chips are completely cleared and quietly accumulate strength; the other is narrative recession, where capital temporarily abandons.
In the short term, the key is whether the support around 103–105 can hold. If it cannot hold, the combination of low popularity and breaking support will lead to further weakness;
if it can hold, to attract capital back later, new events or ecosystem benefits must reignite the story.
Currently, it is in a marginalized stage, and without catalysts, it is difficult to have an independent rally.
What do you think? Is SOL in this wave quietly accumulating strength, or has its popularity completely passed? [Pharaoh's Market Watch]
What's the latest trouble in the Middle East? Why is the oil price still stubbornly holding above $100?
Pharaoh says straight up, don't expect oil prices to drop in the short term. The Strait of Hormuz is basically a powder keg right now; whoever triggers it will cause an explosion.
First, let's look at how strong the market is. Brent crude is holding steady above $106, and WTI is hovering around $95. Why so strong? Because the geopolitical risk premium simply can't be squeezed out. The commercial shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz remains far below pre-war levels, with the US military and Iran's Revolutionary Guard constantly eyeballing each other there.
But Pharaoh has to be fair: the fundamentals of oil prices aren't that solid.
First, the G7's "emergency package" is still being deployed. The previously promised release of 100 million barrels from strategic reserves has provided a floor for the market.
Second, demand is actually yawning. Goldman Sachs data shows global incremental oil demand has clearly slowed, and US refinery utilization rates aren't maxed out.
Third, OPEC+ is not a monolith. If oil prices stay above $100 for a long time...
So the current situation is: geopolitical conflict has welded the "floor" in place, but weak demand is pressing down the "ceiling." Brent is very likely to oscillate between $95 and $110.
What does this mean for Bitcoin? As long as oil prices don't come down, inflation expectations remain firm, the Federal Reserve won't dare to cut rates decisively, and the US Treasury yields' sword will keep hanging over our heads! $ETH $BTC #中东能源风险升温，国际油价维持高位
