Core CPI year-on-year rose to 2.6%, hitting a nearly three-month high, showing inflation stickiness again. The previously expected easing pace in the market now faces a major test. Can BTC withstand this wave of macro shocks tonight?
Core CPI, excluding food and energy, is a key indicator the Federal Reserve watches for underlying inflation. This rise in the reading means prices are not falling as expected, cooling expectations for rate cuts, and driving upward momentum for U.S. Treasury yields and the dollar.
Key points to watch next: the difference between this 2.6% and market estimates, and the subsequent reaction of U.S. Treasuries after the data release. If it is significantly higher than expected, short-term selling pressure on BTC will likely increase; if the risk has already been priced in, strong spot buying support could lead to a rebound after the negative news is fully absorbed. Pay close attention to the secondary capital battles after the U.S. stock market opens at 21:30.
Core CPI hitting a three-month high means the market needs to reprice the Federal Reserve's interest rate path. $BTC $ETH $ZEC #美国9月CPI同比升至3.7%，核心通胀超预期 The market is falling, but there are 3 coins $OP, $BAT, $PONS that are rising against the trend:
1. OP has the strongest fundamentals. It rose 64% in 30 days, while BTC only rose 9% in the same period. The upgrade allocates 50% of revenue to OP buybacks; Gwangju Bank in South Korea also partnered with Toss to run stablecoin QR payments using OP Stack.
But buybacks only start monthly in 2027, so what’s being traded now is expectation; 230 million circulating supply vs. 429 million total supply, with more unlocking ahead.
2. BAT is being bought by shorts covering. It rose 95% in a week, price is up, but funding rates have been negative all along. This is a short squeeze, not spot buying.
The narrative is stuck on the roadmap: x402, BravePay, Rewards Card are still on the waiting list. The revival of this old coin depends not on a quick pump but on whether the narrative can be fulfilled.
3. PONS is an insider’s game, my advice is to avoid it. It has dropped 71% from its ATH, and market cap has fallen below 200 million for the first time.
Buybacks and burns rely entirely on fees for funding; on-chain fees have dropped from a peak of $11.42 million to $595,000, cutting buyback power by 80%, now only 32% burn and exchange listings are propping it up.
OP has real catalysts, but you’re buying 2027 expectations; no matter how much BAT and PONS rise, they are not bottoms you can hold.$BTC hit 81700.
Current price is about 81706, dropping sharply about 0.45% from around 82078 in the last 15 minutes, with the daily low touching 81700. Inflation remains high, and interest rate hike expectations have resurfaced, coinciding with a sell-off.
Outlook: Still bearish on the 4-hour chart, with a range between 80961–84348. If it can't reclaim 82280, first support is at 81700; if that breaks, look to the previous low at 80961. Only by recovering and holding above 82280 / 83100 will the bearish structure loosen. Don't rush to bottom-fish.If tonight's CPI is the matchstick, which of the three major coins will be lit first? Are you also waiting for that directional choice? Watching the market until now, my biggest feeling is not excitement but a kind of suppressed quiet. BTC is grinding back and forth between 83K and 84K, ETH is holding firm at 2,500, and SOL is stuck around 110 looking up at 120. All three lines are very tense, like the calm before a storm. The interesting part this time is that ETF outflows have finally slowed down, while whales quietly absorbed 166K ETH during nine consecutive days of ETH bleeding. This detail is more worth watching than the price itself. Retail sentiment is still stuck in narrative fatigue, while big money is already voting with real cash. This kind of divergence usually doesn't stay quiet for long. Cross-market linkage is the real protagonist in this game. BTC is the main switch, and 84K is that toggle. Once it breaks above with volume, ETH and SOL will be passively boosted because short covering and risk appetite will be ignited simultaneously. Conversely, losing 82K will flip the whole board red, and altcoins will fall faster than anyone else because their buy orders are thin to begin with. The bullish path is actually not complicated: CPI doesn't explode, BTC breaks 84K, ETH follows to test above 2,600, and only then does SOL have the confidence to charge to 120. This chain is linked step by step; missing one link and it won't go far. But the risks are also deeply hidden. The market may have already priced in a mild CPI, so if the actual data is good, it might instead become a window for selling. If that 166K ETH whale stake is just hedging rather than bullish, once 2,500 breaks, faith will shatter quickly CPI landed, core year-on-year at 2.6%, slightly higher than market consensus. The real issue is the core, not the overall. The overall figure is supported by energy; gasoline saw a nearly double-digit monthly increase, which has already been traded. The Federal Reserve focuses on the core; once the core exceeds expectations, the December rate hike bet is pushed to about 90%.
For Bitcoin, 82,000 was originally the first support level; if it falls below but recovers, that's still acceptable. It actually didn't recover, now at 81,800, the short-term has already been lost, and this judgment of mine was wrong.
Crude oil at 95, Brent at 106, and US Treasury yields continue to rise after the data. Combined, this means higher funding costs and continued pressure on risk assets.
Market sentiment flips quickly; last night it was trading rate cuts, tonight the screen is full of rate hikes.
Below, first watch the 80,000 integer level. Integer levels are often used to sweep liquidity; a real drop might not be bad and could offer a counter-trend opportunity. If 80,000 is also lost, then treat it as a lower range. Don't chase short positions at this level; it's easy to get stopped out by a rebound.

#美国9月CPI同比升至3.7%，核心通胀超预期 哥们儿，看到一个对比数据挺有意思的。
Solana现在每天处理140多亿笔交易，DeFi锁仓量回到67亿美元，稳定币市值过了150亿。但另一边，上半年链上手续费收入同比掉了87%。
是不是听着很矛盾？我一开始也懵。
后来想明白了——手续费收入掉，是因为以前靠meme币炒作贡献费用，那玩意儿凉了，费用自然掉。但稳定币、代币化股票这些“真东西”在涨，它们带来的价值很多不在手续费上体现。
打个比方：你家门口以前靠摆地摊收摊位费赚钱，后来地摊少了，摊位费降了。但旁边开了个商场，虽然不交摊位费，但每天人流比地摊时代还大，而且人家是来正经买东西的。
地摊是热闹，商场是长久的。
Alpenglow升级10月21号上主网，最终确认压到150毫秒。这玩意儿上了之后，能承载的东西跟现在完全不是一个量级。
$SOL 现在是在换血。旧的在退，新的在长。别被手续费那个数字吓到，看底层在长什么。Lost $12 million in 7 days, account left with only $150,000, Maji is back to square one
A month and a half ago, his account was $150,000.
Then: 150,000 → 12,000,000 → 800,000 → 10,000,000 → 1,000,000 → 560,000 → 150,000.
Went full circle, back to the starting point.
And in this month and a half, he paid $1.36 million just in funding fees.
But now it’s even more dangerous than "back to square one"
· 2,250 $ETH, 25X full position
· Entry price $2,515.81
· Liquidation price $2,401.35
· Floating loss -$218,100
ETH current price $2,421, only 0.8% away from liquidation price.
Last time: 7,075 ETH, worth $17.77 million.
Now: 2,250 ETH, worth $5.44 million.
Position cut by 68%, liquidation price moved down from $2,471.96 to $2,401.35.
What does this mean: he actively pushed the liquidation line away; but it also means another thing, he might be out of money.
Maji is back to square one, do you think he can bounce back this time? CPI超预期，BTC死守8万关口：ETH和SOL还能扛多久？
国际局势与能源价格的不确定性叠加通胀反弹，市场对美联储宽松的预期面临考验。现在最危险的，不是下跌本身，而是资金可能继续降低风险敞口。
按我今晚的行情截图：
• $BTC ：81,803美元，重点看80,000关口，重新站回83,000，短线才有转强迹象。
• $ETH ：2,420美元，关注2,350—2,400区间能否守住，收复2,500才算初步修复。
• $SOL ：103.64美元，关注100—102区间，重新站回107才能缓解弱势。
我的观点：短线谨慎看空，不急着抄底。
BTC相对抗跌，不代表市场安全；ETH和SOL跌幅更大，也不意味着它们必然继续跌。如果美元与美债收益率继续走强，我会优先防范支撑失守；如果三币守住关键区间并同步反弹，再考虑趋势是否改善。
我不猜最低点，只看市场能不能拿回失地。
如果BTC守住8万美元，ETH和SOL却继续走弱，你会选择抄底，还是继续观望？

No mistake, it's still Strive. From October 5-9 last week, they spent 280 million USD to buy 3,311 BTC at an average price of 84,500, only to be stuck immediately. This week, on October 12-13, they spent another 235 million USD to buy 2,822 BTC at an average price of about 83,266. Now the total holding is 35,595 BTC, ranking fourth among listed companies.
The two purchases combined amount to 510 million USD for 6,133 BTC. BTC is currently around 81,800 USD, both buys were underwater. According to CEO Matt Cole, the goal is to become the second largest BTC holder among global listed companies by the end of the year.
Institutions buy more as prices fall, while retail investors panic more—the butt decides the brain, and position size determines mentality. What about you, would you dare to buy more as prices drop in such a market?

#BTCZEC放量收跌，下一小时又跌穿了前一小时低点。
截至北京时间22:49，欧易现货约1153.77美元。24小时最高1285.78美元、最低1145.98美元，振幅约12.2%。21点完整小时成交约863万美元，是此前28个完整小时均值约285万美元的3倍。22点还没收盘，成交已约815万美元。
我的判断是卖压仍在。21点收盘价1206.6美元，22点最低摸到1145.98美元。成交放大说明换手激烈，不能据此认定下方已经有人接住。
此时看到放量就急着猜底，容易把换手当承接。我更关注后续能否重新站稳1205.05美元，也就是21点的低点。若继续跌破1145.98美元，当前判断会加强；若站回1205.05美元并守住，卖压延续的判断就该调整。
$ZEC $BTC hedge short position has taken profit
As mentioned before, the main force might choose to use sideways movement instead of a drop, with wide-range oscillation to achieve chip recovery. So take profit on the short position at a low level, then see if you can make another hedge short position above the range. However, I think going long at a low level might be safer. But for BTC, I might not consider hedging anymore, because if the main force is accumulating strength, it would be disastrous. I see on large orders, the main force is clearly deliberately suppressing the price, capping large orders. Once the orders are withdrawn, it will surge.
As mentioned before, altcoins really dropped, so let's take advantage and lower the holding cost. So continue holding the $UNI short position. If it bounces very high, I will add to hedge or reduce spot holdings.
Build positions on dips in October, at least 90% of the position remains. Two weeks left, come on BTC, come on everyone! James Wayne: Completely Silent!
The king of high-leverage volatility accounts that went to zero and emptied positions, James Wayne, who once swept through Hyperliquid with high leverage, heavy positions, and quick in-and-out trades, now has a fully zeroed on-chain account with no holdings, no positions, and an account value of 0.
Current Status
Public Positions: None (fully exited)
Account Value: 0 U
Last On-Chain Activity: Stuck on March 30, only a small BTC short test order was seen, no major moves since then
Market Signal
This gambler-type trader, who has repeatedly created single trades with tens of millions in profit or loss, is now completely empty and watching.
Two interpretations: One is that he believes there is currently a lack of highly certain one-sided market trends and prefers to stay empty rather than force trades; the other is that he may have started anew with an anonymous small account, as he historically has a habit of changing accounts. For retail investors, even the most gambling-prone Whale stepping back often signals the market entering a phase of disorderly oscillation with very low win rates, sharply increasing the risks of blindly chasing highs and selling lows. $BTC $ETH
#US September CPI year-on-year rose to 3.7%, core inflation exceeded expectations 70 minutes after the draw, the bulls were wiped out 💥
20:30, the draw. Core 2.6% exceeded expectations, leaning hawkish.
20:31, I was watching the market. BTC started a slow decline from 82797, ETH 2500 was on the brink. I thought: the bulls trying to bottom-fish are going to have a bad night.
21:58, the first strike came. In a single minute, long positions liquidated 9.4 million, 155 orders. I counted three times, no mistake.
22:05, the second strike. 1.76 million BTC longs and 1.25 million ETH longs were liquidated simultaneously. Prices settled at 82125 and 2438.
22:15 review: 62.43 million liquidated network-wide in 1 hour, 90% were longs dying; 240 million in 24 hours, 74,596 people liquidated.
Before the draw, longs and shorts fought each other; after the draw, a one-sided slaughter of longs. The lurking bulls bet on "all bad news priced in," but the bad news wasn’t fully out, causing stop-loss and liquidation cascades.
Fee rate split: BTC still positive, bulls not giving up; ETH turned negative, shorts took over. ETH down 2.99% today, ETF outflows for 10 consecutive days dragging it down.
BERA +7.3% to 0.2365, but fee rate -0.0109%, shorts adding positions; A +4.59% to 0.1045. The rise of these altcoins is borrowed strength.
My judgment: the long liquidation is not over yet. BTC 82000 is the critical point, break it and look at 81000. ETH 2400 break leads to 2300 next. No bottom-fishing tonight, let the bullets fly a little longer. 谁在往中本聪钱包里打钱？

The total liquidation amount in 24 hours is 295 million, with 81.7% being long liquidations, representing a typical macro-driven concentrated long liquidation.
The heatmap clearly shows: BTC and ETH have the highest liquidation amounts, with ETH long liquidations accounting for 86.9%, even higher than BTC's 79.4%. ETH leveraged longs are the hardest hit, perfectly matching the market trend—ETH's decline is deeper, and high-leverage longs are being liquidated en masse.
Combining BTC and ETH 30-minute candlesticks, there is a large-volume bearish candle, and together with this liquidation data, it shows that this round of decline is not caused by shorts actively dumping but by CPI inflation exceeding expectations + the Federal Reserve's hawkish signals, tightening macro expectations, triggering a collective stop-loss stampede among leveraged longs.
A large number of bottom-fishing longs and high-position ambush longs are forcibly liquidated, directly extinguishing market enthusiasm for bottom-fishing. Current market sentiment:
1. Leveraged longs' confidence is severely shaken; no one dares to leverage to bottom-fish casually, and short-term leveraged funds choose to exit and observe;
2. BTC is relatively resistant to the drop, ETH is more elastic, and high-leverage positions are concentrated in ETH, making ETH the hardest hit in this liquidation round;
3. Short liquidations account for a very low proportion, indicating shorts have not massively taken profits, and shorts still hold the short-term advantage.
Current market mindset: After a wave of long liquidations, short-term floating profit longs are basically cleared, but extreme panic has not yet arrived. Bottom-fishing funds will become extremely cautious, reluctant to chase rebounds, and most choose to watch from the sidelines Personally, I think the problem isn't how high the numbers are, but that inflation just won't come down. Just after a rate hike, more action might be needed. US Treasury yields are already rising, so risk assets definitely feel uncomfortable. But don't assume a crash just because of bad news; the key is how the funds respond.
$BTC first needs to hold 80,000. If Bitcoin can't reclaim the 83,000 to 84,000 range above, the rebound won't go smoothly; if support is lost, watch out for a pullback.$SNDK 年内涨了五倍多，市盈率却只有十九倍。
这个组合少见。年内涨五倍的股票，估值通常被推到几十倍甚至上百倍。十九倍基本是传统制造业的水平，说明市场没按成长股给它定价。
原因在利润的可持续性。现在这份盈利，市场判断是 NAND 涨价的阶段性产物——涨价周期一过，供给跟上，利润就要回落。用周期股的办法估值，就是拿顶部利润配一个低倍数，价格自然被按住。
机构不这么算。二十多家分析师的平均目标价折合还有四成以上空间，二十一家建议买入，一家建议卖出。
两边赌的是同一件事：这轮存储短缺能不能跨过二〇二七年。这个问题的答案决定该用成长股的倍数还是周期股的倍数，差的就是那一倍以上的估值。
价格上，五个交易日跌了近一成五，从六月高点算回撤接近四成，短期跌势够急。十月二十九日的财报是第一个可以验证的节点。 One CPI report, and BTC immediately takes a hit. Could worse still be ahead?
If Trump takes military action against Iran after the midterm elections, and the Houthis and Saudi Arabia continue their conflict, won't oil prices skyrocket?
Historically, in midterm election years, BTC rarely escapes a major drop. Could this time be an exception? Whales are accumulating, ETFs and BlackRock occasionally buying, but the macro environment is genuinely unfavorable for BTC.
The 10-year and 30-year US Treasury yields are approaching 5.5%, and non-yielding assets are being repriced. The US stock market index is propped up by giants like Microsoft, Apple, and META; beneath this overvaluation, many individual stocks have already collapsed.
A rate hike in December is almost certain. If the US stock market also stalls and suffers a collective sharp decline, the risk will transmit to BTC, which will struggle to remain unscathed—when the whole nest is disturbed, how can any egg remain intact?
Therefore, I am somewhat pessimistic before the rate hike. After the midterm elections and the rate hike are settled, with the macro outlook clearer and negative factors exhausted, BTC may truly improve.
Before the December rate hike, the Bitcoin bull market is very likely to return. Do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing?

#BTC现货ETF再度净流出，机构买盘能否回暖？
#BTC与ETH现货ETF同步流出，机构需求转弱了吗？ US CPI data all exceeded market expectations. This will significantly increase the probability of a Fed rate hike in October, and higher rate expectations will push up US Treasury yields. The US dollar will also strengthen, which is negative for non-yielding assets like Bitcoin and gold.
Market funds have an opportunity cost; since US Treasury yields are rising further, buying US Treasuries becomes more attractive, and funds flowing into Bitcoin will decrease. Many people imagine Bitcoin as a safe-haven asset, but my experience tells me Bitcoin is more like a risk asset and will be pressured along with US stocks and gold.
Bitcoin is particularly sensitive to tightening liquidity and rising real interest rates. Currently, Bitcoin has slightly dropped by over $1,000, which can be seen as a small negative reaction to the CPI data. Going forward, we will watch the Fed officials and the results of the FOMC meeting. Actually, Bitcoin has risen too much in the past two months; the macro headwinds mainly act as a catalyst for the decline, but the core reason is that after such a big rise, a fall is inevitable.This CPI is worse than expected
Originally, inflation was expected to be lower than anticipated, but the September CPI rose 3.7% year-on-year, and the core CPI also rebounded to 2.6%, both exceeding market expectations.
What’s more troublesome is that besides the rise in energy prices, core inflation has not shown a significant cooling.
After the data release, $BTC and gold both fell, while the US dollar and US Treasury yields strengthened.
In the short term, I am no longer in a hurry to judge a market rebound, but I also do not intend to chase shorts.
For $BTC, first watch if the $82,000 level can hold, and for gold, watch around $4,100. If these two levels cannot hold, further adjustments are likely.#September CPI Arrives: How Will Crude Oil and U.S. Treasuries Perform?
September CPI Review: Inflation Resilience Exceeds Expectations, Market Returns to Risk-Off Mode
The September CPI data failed to continue the cooling trend, with both overall and core components surpassing expectations. The unadjusted annual rate rose to 3.7%, the core annual rate rebounded to 2.6%, while the core monthly rate remained just above the critical 0.3% threshold. This combination indicates that rising energy prices are gradually transmitting to core consumer sectors, with inflation stickiness stronger than previously estimated by the market.
After the data release, the interest rate market quickly repriced, year-end rate hike expectations intensified, U.S. Treasury yields surged, and risk assets came under pressure simultaneously, causing rapid sell-offs in the Nasdaq and crypto markets. The initial wave of selling was mainly driven by quantitative strategies, with a clear impact on market sentiment.
In terms of strategy, it is recommended to focus on the strength of the U.S. stock market's follow-through after the open rather than rushing to judge the direction. Until the key daily support is confirmed effective, bottom-fishing should be approached cautiously to avoid passive buying amid volatility. In the recent period, controlling position size and preserving principal is more important than chasing rebounds. Whether Bitcoin can hold its support depends on whether U.S. Treasury yields stabilize in the latter half of tonight — this is the real decisive factor.

Strive spent $280 million to buy 3,311 bitcoins — of which $208 million came from exercised warrants, with the last batch of warrants expiring yesterday
According to 8-K: purchase window 10/5–10/9, average price about $84,500.
▪️ Holdings increased from 29,462 on 10/2 to 32,773 on 10/9, less than 20,000 three months ago
▪️ Approximately $208 million worth of stock warrants were exercised during the same period, accounting for three-quarters of this week's bitcoin purchases
▪️ About 15.3 million warrants remain, expiring at 5 PM EST on 10/13
▪️ On 10/12, it included "SATA issuance not less than $100" in the amended certificate filed in Nevada
The disagreement is not about how much it bought, but how much of the $280 million came from warrants.
Warrants are the cheapest fuel for companies like this: holders buy new shares at an agreed price, the company uses the cash to buy bitcoin, with no interest or principal repayment required. This well will bottom out on 10/13.
Next up are preferred shares: SATA alone contributed 61.5% of the financing amount (as of 10/6), and the company has filed to issue a second one with a fixed annual interest of 15%. The same machine, but with more expensive fuel.

The narrative around Dogecoin is quietly shifting. Japanese listed company ReYuu Japan, together with Web3 enterprise abc and the Dogecoin Foundation's House of Doge, have signed a tripartite strategic cooperation to explore directions such as gold-backed stablecoins, RWA tokenization, and joint funds. This is not another round of community hype but a "practical experiment" bound by compliance constraints.
The peculiarity of the Japanese market lies in the sophistication of its regulatory framework. JVCEA's "green list" mechanism sets a pre-approval threshold for token listings, and crypto assets are transitioning from the Payment Services Act to the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act. This means that for DOGE to truly enter the Japanese commercial scene, it must first pass compliance checks—an approach fundamentally different from the logic of a single tweet from Musk moving the market.
The division of labor among the partners is also worth noting. abc is responsible for token design and smart contract development, ReYuu Japan handles localized business expansion, and House of Doge provides ecosystem coordination and global networking. ReYuu Japan completed its first batch of DOGE purchases in April 2026, holding approximately 254,000 DOGE in total. #September CPI announced tonight, Fed rate hike divergence awaits resolution #TSMC Q3 revenue hits new high, profit performance to be revealed #US September CPI year-on-year rises to 3.7%, core inflation exceeds expectations $BTC $ETH US September CPI and core CPI are both higher than market expectations, inflation hasn't been suppressed.
High inflation makes the Federal Reserve even less willing to cut interest rates, and the timing of rate cuts may be delayed.
Cooling rate cut expectations → US Treasury yields tend to rise → risk assets like Bitcoin come under pressure.
Core CPI annual rate 2.6%, expected 2.5%; monthly rate 0.3%, expected 0.2%, all exceeding expectations, signaling inflation rebound.
The market originally bet that the Fed could cut rates earlier, but this data will weaken rate cut expectations!
After the data release, the market has already started betting on three rate hikes next year.In one sentence: The US September CPI lands tonight at 8:30 PM, with three out of four figures exceeding expectations. Overall year-on-year is **3.7%** (expected 3.6%, August 3.4%), core month-on-month is **0.3%** (expected 0.2%, August 0.3%), core year-on-year is 2.6% (expected 2.5%, August 2.4%). Bitcoin dropped from 83,941.7 all the way down to 81,900, currently around 82,000, falling more than 2,000 dollars in 2 hours. Ethereum is worse, dropping from 2,521 to 2,429, currently around 2,434. Comparing with the evening review at 7 PM tonight, where is the difference? Tonight I said the hawkish scenario would be core exceeding expectations, for example month-on-month 0.3%, and it really is 0.3%. The script follows the hawkish path: core did not cool down, the bet on a rate hike in October jumped from 22% before the release to 40%–49%, the 10-year US Treasury yield jumped from 5.19% to above 5.3%, and the dollar, already the strongest since April, is now even stronger. Non-yielding assets are uniformly hit, gold also dropped from 4,153 to 4,117. Why is core exceeding expectations the most critical? Because the part pushed up by oil prices is clear to the Fed—gasoline rose 9.1% in one month, energy rose 5.2%, these are known factors. But the core excludes food and energy, reflecting the real prices: it has not cooled down,#美国9月CPI同比升至3.7%，核心通胀超预期
This inflation rebound indicates that the decline in US prices has not been smooth, and inflation resilience is stronger than many expect. Funds are quickly reassessing Federal Reserve policies; the originally anticipated timing for rate cuts is being pushed back, and the market sees a higher possibility of a rate hike in October. US Treasury yields are rising, which means risk-free investment returns are increasing, causing funds to withdraw from high-risk assets. In the crypto space, BTC is the first to come under pressure and decline, followed by mid-cap coins like TON and TRX weakening. Small-cap coins like BTW, which rely on hype, experience even more exaggerated volatility and can suddenly plunge when market funds tighten. Objectively, monthly data is only a short-term shock; the Fed’s decisions also consider other indicators like non-farm payrolls and PCE. If economic data cools down later, market expectations for tightening will quickly ease, giving risk assets a chance to recover. The macro environment is constantly fluctuating, so don’t bet on a one-sided rise or fall based on a single CPI report. The $SOL market cap is now around $64 billion, and you have to compare this number to other things to get a sense of its size. Coins are traded by the unit, while market cap is used to compare the size against other assets.
On the global company list, Nvidia's market cap is $5.5 trillion, and SOL is just a little over one percent of that. There are more than fifty companies with market caps exceeding $300 billion, and SOL doesn't make the top 100.
The combined market cap of all listed companies is $152.6 trillion, with SOL accounting for 0.04%, less than a fraction of a percent. Within this total market, it is a number after the decimal point.
This scale explains why even a small allocation of institutional funds causes big movements on this chain. Taking one percent out of a $500 billion fund is $5 billion, which is more than this market's daily trading volume.
With a small market cap, the same trading volume causes larger price fluctuations. This is typical for small caps and applies to other coins as well.
When institutions build positions, a few hundred million dollars can push the price up; when they exit, the same amount takes a long time to move out.
Market cap changes daily and can be seen directly on the market page. Checking it periodically gives a sense of scale. Unlike price, which changes every minute, checking every few days is sufficient to understand the magnitude.The PancakeSwap core team Kitchen today proposed the governance proposal "The Flip": 88% of the fees from v3 and Infinity pools will be directly distributed to LPs, and the daily CAKE issuance will be cut from 22,500 to 7,000.
88% goes to LPs, the printing press is cut by 70%
$CAKE really has something going on. Kitchen threw out "The Flip" today: 88% of fees from v3 and Infinity pools will be directly distributed to LPs, covering all 11 chains. Currently, EVM pool LPs only get 66-68%, this move maxes it out.
Issuance cut even harder: daily CAKE issuance cut from 22,500 to 7,000, a 69% cut, reducing annual issuance by about 5.7 million tokens. Based on 2025 trading volume, LPs will receive about $62 million more per year.
The trade-off is that v3 will no longer use fees to burn tokens; deflation will only remain through the old v2 method of 23% burn. Kitchen estimates net deflation can still be maintained, reducing about 190,000 tokens weekly. If launched in November, this might be the first example of a DEX token economy.Elon Musk takes on a new role, so why didn't DOGE rise?
On October 6, Elon Musk was appointed co-head of a new Pentagon project. A few years ago, news like this would have been enough to make DOGE surge for a day. This time, the market stayed calm and even dropped 5.6% over the following week.
Don't rush to sigh; I actually think this is a good thing: DOGE has grown up.
Let's recall. In 2021, the last time he appeared on a show, DOGE surged to 0.73. Back then, the market was like a fan event; when he spoke, the whole crowd stood up. Five years later, he goes into government, leaves government, and goes back in; the news gets bigger, but the market reaction gets smaller. Why? The audience in the arena has changed. Now, what determines the price is spot capital flow, contract positions, moving averages, and support levels—not just one person's words.
I chased that bullish candle in May 2021, my account was in the green for three days, then slowly declined over five years. That lesson wasn't cheap, but it taught me: idols are responsible for introducing you to $DOGE, but the path afterward must be walked by DOGE itself.
He's still in the headlines, DOGE is still on the chain. It's just that the rope tying them together has broken. Letting go actually makes the journey steadier. Tonight, the big coin (BTC) is falling so smoothly, and I think there are five reasons for this:
1. The big coin has already accumulated bearish momentum technically in the early stage, with highs continuously lowering. At least on a small scale, the highs in the past two days haven't been able to break above 84000.
2. Tonight's CPI negative data. Actually, recently the big coin has neither been able to fall further nor rise, mainly due to the timing of this CPI data release. When everyone is waiting for this data to be published, once it is released, it triggers a chain reaction.
3. From the ETF capital perspective, recently the big coin's ETF funds have shown a wavering state, with the overall funds in recent days consistently showing net outflows.
4. Previous posts have also mentioned this. Recently, several KOLs have said that the market is dull with no momentum, which also indicates that the market is not far from a big fluctuation. The CPI data release is just a fuse that activates all the liquidity of the funds.
5. BTC always moves in tandem with gold. Look at gold's current stance; it feels like 4066 might just be the final push.
#US September CPI year-on-year rose to 3.7%, core inflation exceeded expectations #ASML Earnings Preview: EUV Orders as the Key Focus ASML is the world's only supplier of EUV extreme ultraviolet lithography machines. Advanced process AI chips from TSMC, Samsung, and Intel all rely on this equipment, which is regarded as a leading indicator for semiconductor and AI capital expenditures. This time, the market is not only looking at current revenue but also at new EUV orders and long-term capacity planning, which are the core factors for success.
The current round of EUV demand mainly comes from AI computing power expansion: TSMC is expanding 3nm/2nm AI chip foundry capacity, and Samsung and SK Hynix are increasing HBM supporting production lines. The market is focusing on new Low-NA EUV orders and the introduction progress of the next-generation High-NA EUV, which represents the willingness to invest in more advanced processes in the longer term.
It is important to distinguish: revenue reflects confirmed shipments, while orders indicate the foundries' future expansion plans. If new EUV orders significantly exceed expectations, it will confirm the continuation of AI capital expenditure prosperity, benefiting the entire semiconductor chain and boosting Nasdaq tech sentiment; if orders fall short of expectations, it will reinforce the expectation of "AI expansion slowdown," resonating with previous hawkish remarks from Broadcom and Intel, likely triggering sector valuation cuts.
Transmission to the crypto market: if ASML's data is strong, risk appetite will rise, providing sentiment support for BTC and ETH; conversely, weak orders will pressure tech stocks, and high-beta assets are more likely to weaken accordingly. However, this is an industry chain sentiment transmission and generally does not develop into an independent trend.
$BTC $ETH $ZEC Nine years ago, someone who bought Ethereum for $50 is now depositing coins into exchanges.
That batch of coins cost $370,000 and is now worth 19.26 million.
He hasn't sold. He just unlocked the staking.
But why deposit?
First, let's talk about Ethereum's recent changes.
It dropped 4.45% in a week, now around 2500.
Three signals, all pointing to the same thing:
More people can sell, fewer want to buy.
First: coins are moving to exchanges.
340,000 coins.
Previously, coins were scattered everywhere; if you wanted to sell, you had to find a buyer first.
Now they're piled on trading platforms, ready to sell anytime.
Hodling ≠ holding in hand.
Second: whales are moving coins off-platform.
An OTC whale sold nearly 10,000 coins, cashing out 25 million.
Bought at over 2100, sold at 2600, made 24 million profit.
That same guy who bought at $50 nine years ago also unlocked all his coins and deposited them into Kraken.
At the same time, the same group of people turned their coins into cash.
Third: US buyers are retreating.
An index compares how much more the same coin sells for on Exchange C than on Some Exchange.
Now it's negative, the lowest in two months.
In plain language: the buying side over there is retreating.
It's not just retail investors running away.
ETF outflows have continued for 10 consecutive trading days, totaling 780 million.
For October, net outflow is 695 million.
I always thought this drop had nothing to do with whales.
Later I realized I was wrong.
For a reversal, we need to see whales come back to buy and ETFs start flowing in again.CPI hits hard! BTC's $80,000 defense battle, ETH kneels first in respect? Core CPI at 2.6%, expected 2.5%. This number is the only one to remember tonight. Ten minutes after the data release, the 10-year US Treasury yield surged from 5.19% to 5.27%, BTC dropped 1.2%, gold fell 1.0%, Nasdaq futures down 0.8%. Previously, only gold and crypto were falling; tonight even US stocks can't hold up—the market no longer just worries about high interest rates but starts pricing in the possibility of more rate hikes. Before the CPI release, $BTC was oscillating around 83,700, $ETH was weaker near $2,500. The market was waiting for this signal. Now the signal is here, the direction is bearish. For traders, BTC is just over 3% away from 80,000; unless interest rates reverse, it’s hard for BTC to strengthen alone. Support first seen at 81,500. ETH’s weak structure remains unchanged, altcoins continue to bleed. Tonight, I choose to hold back. Data doesn't lie; what lies is your expectation of the data. #US September CPI year-on-year rose to 3.7%, core inflation exceeded expectations Funding situation: Long liquidations dominate, ETF continues to be under pressure
In the past 24 hours, the total liquidation across the network was $140 million, with long liquidations at $81.14 million and short liquidations at $58.86 million. BTC long liquidations were $8.38 million, short liquidations $11.72 million — shorts were hit harder after the CPI, indicating a short squeeze in the short term after the data, but it did not sustain.
Funding rates have turned negative earlier; on the Gate platform, BTC/USDT funding rate dropped as low as -0.0054%, with shorts paying longs, reflecting a temporarily bearish market sentiment. ETFs still saw a net weekly outflow of about $679 million, with weak institutional demand being the core factor suppressing the rebound's strength. $BTC $ETH $ZEC #Tesla delivery exceeding expectations shifts focus to profit recovery #US September CPI rises 3.7% YoY, core inflation exceeds expectations
Inflation rebounds again! September CPI beats expectations across the board, crypto market under pressure
US September CPI YoY 3.7% (expected 3.6%, previous 3.4%), core CPI YoY 2.6% (expected 2.5%, previous 2.4%), inflation stickiness exceeds market forecasts.
1. Direct data result: CME rate hike probability sharply rises, US Treasury yields and the dollar strengthen simultaneously. Cryptocurrencies are interest-free risk assets; with rising rates, funds tend to flow back to US Treasuries, creating macro headwinds for the crypto market.
2. Root cause of inflation rise: oil prices drive a surge in energy components, combined with persistently high housing and service inflation, confirming the earlier hawkish view by Hamarck that "further rate hikes are still needed."
3. Added pre-existing bearish factors: BTC and ETH spot ETFs have already seen synchronized net outflows, institutional funds are already shrinking positions, and the CPI data adds another layer of pressure, further amplifying rebound resistance.
Price movement predictions by coin
✅ BTC Bitcoin
BTC is most closely tied to US Treasury yields and ETF institutional funds. With CPI exceeding expectations, it will face short-term downward pressure first. It is the market barometer, relatively more resistant than altcoins, but under the dual pressure of rising rate hike expectations and ETF redemptions, a strong rebound is unlikely; only if officials later signal dovishness and redemptions slow will the decline stop and stabilize.
✅ ETH Ethereum
Highly elastic asset, likely to fall more than BTC. ETH is closely linked to DeFi staking yields; rising US Treasury yields will divert DeFi funds. During market downturns, leveraged and staking positions are prone to triggering cascading sell pressure; even if a slight recovery occurs later, the rebound strength will be capped by rate hike expectations.
✅ ZEC (Zcash)
The most volatile among the three. It is a small-cap privacy coin; when risk appetite declines, funds prioritize selling small-cap thematic coins, causing a drop much larger than BTC and ETH;
There is only one exception: if the privacy narrative independently explodes, it will have a standalone rally, but under the current macro-tight environment, this probability is very low, and liquidation risk is highest.
Summary of three scenarios
🔴 Scenario 1: Fed officials collectively hawkish, strengthening rate hike expectations
BTC and ETH weaken simultaneously, ZEC’s decline widens, market experiences spikes and increased liquidations, weakness continues.
🟡 Scenario 2: Officials signal neutral stance, emphasize single-month data won’t drive decisions
Bearish factors are temporarily digested, market enters a choppy bottoming phase with range-bound spikes, making it difficult for bulls or bears.
🟢 Scenario 3: Subsequent inflation components decline, market reprices no rate hikes
Risk appetite recovers, ETH shows stronger elasticity, ZEC has the strongest short-term explosive potential, but only if ETF outflows stop.
$BTC $ETH $ZEC Regarding KOR, many people who recently bought the dip have been stuck. Let me explain my logic. The fundamentals of storage look good, like supply not meeting demand, but it doesn't change the fact that it's still a bulk commodity. Once mass-produced, profits will inevitably plummet. Also, storage is actually a source of inflation in the AI tech revolution. On one hand, it has indeed brought stock market prosperity, but inflation is transmissible. Now downstream consumer electronics manufacturers are already struggling; just try buying a computer and you'll see how much more expensive it is. So this price increase will sooner or later have to be reversed. In fact, the rise in metal prices is also closely related to the rise in storage prices. Therefore, to put it jokingly, Trump's war was actually just a catch-up increase in oil prices. #US September CPI year-on-year rose to 3.7%, core inflation exceeded expectations $SNDK #Today Sandisk is stuck in place, unable to break through, $SNDK
It's not that the fundamentals have worsened, but the bullish momentum is being suppressed by several pieces of news.
First, Elon Musk's tweet benefits Micron, indirectly suppressing Sandisk.
Musk stated that Micron's pricing is restrained, while other manufacturers' price hikes are too aggressive.
The market worries that Sandisk's high-price strategy will lose major customer orders.
Capital is starting to doubt Sandisk's room to continue raising NAND prices.
Second, a large amount of profit-taking is piled up above.
After a huge previous increase, approaching the 1500 resistance level, capital cashes out profits as soon as it spikes.
Without significant unexpected positive news, no one is willing to actively free trapped positions.
Third, expectations of capacity release from ChangXin Memory continue to suppress sector valuations.
The market worries about increased future DRAM supply, casting doubt on the sustainability of the storage price upcycle.
The overall sentiment in the storage sector is weak, dragging Sandisk into synchronized volatility.
Fourth, the dual nature of long-term contracts.
Long-term orders secure the performance baseline but also lock the growth ceiling.
Institutions worry that gross margins have peaked, making explosive outperformance unlikely.
Today's market characteristics:
Sector divergence, capital prefers the conservatively priced Micron.
Sandisk lacks strong catalysts, capital is cautious, resulting in range-bound grinding.
To break through 1500, two signals are needed:
NAND spot contracts continue to rise, or AI servers add large storage orders.
Otherwise, it will likely remain volatile, with spikes easily falling back. #US September CPI year-on-year rose to 3.7%, core inflation exceeded expectations A true trader, when facing market uncertainty, dares to make their own judgment. After the US CPI data was released tonight, I chose to take a short-term bearish stance and have already fully positioned in short orders! Why am I leaning bearish this time? Let me share my three reasons. ① Overall inflation is higher than market expectations. The US September CPI rose 3.7% year-on-year, higher than the market expectation of 3.6%, and also exceeded the previous value of 3.4%. The market had already anticipated a possible rebound in inflation, but the actual data released was even hotter, indicating that inflationary pressure is not as easy to ease as imagined. ② Core inflation is also not optimistic. September core CPI rose 2.6% year-on-year, higher than the previous 2.4%; month-on-month it rose 0.3%, also exceeding the market expectation of 0.2%. Even excluding food and energy prices, inflation still shows significant pressure. Such data will make the Federal Reserve more cautious when considering rate cuts, and the space for easing policies may be further limited. ③ Rising oil prices are pushing up inflation. US gasoline prices rose 9.1% month-on-month, contributing more than half to the overall monthly CPI increase. The continuous rise in energy prices means that future inflation decline may be more difficult. If oil prices remain high, market concerns about prolonged high interest rates may also intensify. So, what does this mean for the crypto market? My judgment is: the short-term market is bearish, but further price confirmation is needed. Inflation exceeding expectations may strengthen the expectation that interest rates will remain high, and may even trigger a market re-ignition.$BTC $ETH CPI+Fed spokesperson double negative, BTC/ETH market sentiment analysis
With CPI exceeding expectations and the Fed spokesperson turning hawkish, macro tightening expectations are reconfirmed, causing market sentiment to weaken directly.
From two 30-minute charts, the strength divergence is clear: BTC's decline is relatively restrained, more of a passive follow-down, with stronger risk-averse capital attributes. The decline is mainly due to macro liquidity suppression, with no extreme internal sell-off. Market funds prefer to stay in BTC, which is currently the default safe haven in the crypto space.
ETH is noticeably weaker, with deeper bearish candles and greater downward momentum. ETH carries the DeFi narrative and is more sensitive to rising interest rates. As rate hike expectations heat up, risk asset valuations are directly crushed, and bullish confidence collapses more obviously. When macro negatives hit, funds withdraw from ETH first, with contract long stop-loss orders flooding out.
Current overall market sentiment: bottom-fishers are completely on the sidelines, no longer rushing to catch rebounds. Bulls who previously gambled on oscillation reversals have been continuously hit and now generally dare not open longs lightly. Bearish sentiment dominates but has not yet reached extreme panic sell-off.
Market mentality has shifted to: reduce positions on rebounds, avoid bottom-fishing easily. Overall capital is contracting, and altcoin selling pressure will be fiercer than mainstream coins. The core focus of the subsequent market remains on US Treasury yields; if interest rates stay high without falling, this weak trend pattern will be difficult to reverse quickly.$PYTH
Why might data demand and token holding returns diverge during PYTH pullbacks?
Today's midday spot 24-hour observation window: range 0.07725—0.08824 USDT, change -2.10%, trading volume approximately 3.81 million USDT.
Product usage, commercial revenue, and token rights need to be verified separately. Service usage does not necessarily require users to continuously hold the same amount of tokens, and short-term pullbacks do not prove a decline in data demand; value transmission must have mechanisms and cash flow evidence.
If revenue and rights lack support and rebounds keep breaking lower lows, proceed with caution; if clear transmission can be verified and higher lows are maintained, then increase the weight of economic demand.【Is Saylor's playbook really about hoarding $BTC, or is it a game of financial relay?】
K33 did the math: Strategy raised about $7.5 billion through STRC financing in the first half of the year to buy nearly 100,000 BTC, but this also increased its annual dividend obligation by about $725 million. Calculated at $83,000 per BTC, this is equivalent to the value of 8,740 BTC per year.
This is a bit delicate. Issuing preferred shares to buy BTC, using BTC to support valuation, and then relying on market confidence to continue financing. When BTC rises, this cycle spins faster and faster; but dividends are real cash outflows, while BTC itself does not automatically generate cash flow to cover them.
Is this a Ponzi scheme? Strictly speaking, it cannot be defined as such. Strategy holds real BTC assets, and the financing and dividends have clear securities terms. But it does have a vulnerability: if growth increasingly depends on the next round of financing, once the financial relay is interrupted, the whole cycle could stall.
I won't be bearish on BTC just because of this report for now, but I will closely watch Strategy's financing ability, cash reserves, and STRC dividend costs. In a bull market, this is capital operation; in a bear market, it could be something else. What Saylor really wants to prove is not how much more BTC he can buy, but whether this machine can keep running long-term.The opponent pushed pawns to the first three squares in front of the Dhahran headquarters, smoke rose on the board, but a true grandmaster never focuses on just those three squares—I’m looking at the diagonal of the king’s wing, whether the entire major diagonal of Saudi energy exports is still open.
The Aramco headquarters was hit, three floors burned, no casualties, production and exports unaffected. What is this called in chess notation? A probing pawn sacrifice, where the opponent uses a small pawn to trade for my attention and reaction time. His move’s purpose isn’t to capture my king but to force me to move defensive pieces and see if my response reveals structural weaknesses. The Houthi forces attack airports and energy facilities, the Saudi-led coalition retaliates by striking fuel depots in Yemen—this is a typical piece exchange melee in the midgame, both sides tactically contesting the same group of squares. The Red Sea is the kingside, Hormuz is the center; Saudi Arabia wants to build a bypass pipeline, effectively opening an additional route on the flank, but flank routes always have the same problem: few squares, limited width, and once controlled by enemy rooks or knights, they become ineffective.
Brent fell 0.9% to 105.69, WTI rose 0.4% to 94.14, the two benchmarks moved in inconsistent directions. This is the most alarming signal on my board: not the prices themselves, but that two pieces that should move in tandem have started acting independently. This indicates the market lacks consensus; both bulls and bears are still calculating, and no one dares to make the first move into the center. Heavy positions in such a scenario are like committing all your pieces on an unfinished opening—an amateur’s mistake.
The real decisive move isn’t today’s fire alarm but whether the opponent can push the front line to the three lifelines: oil fields, refineries, and export terminals. As long as any square on these three lines is substantially attacked, the entire situation will instantly escalate from a tactical piece exchange to a strategic king attack—that’s the endgame that determines the oil price center and the pricing of safe-haven assets. But for now, we’re still transitioning from opening to midgame; all major pieces remain in place, the board is shrouded in smoke, but the truly fatal strike has yet to fall.
$XAUT’s role in this situation is like the rook in my hand that hasn’t been deployed. The essence of the safe-haven logic isn’t offense but having a safe harbor for my king when the opponent might launch a strong attack. When the risk remains in the probing and piece-exchange phase, this rook’s value is underestimated; once the fire approaches the core squares, it will realize its full potential along open lines in one decisive move.
My judgment is: the situation has entered the tactical piece-exchange zone, but the strategic strike’s target remains unclear. The worst thing now is to be led by the immediate fire alarm and dismantle your own structure before the opponent reveals their next move. #aramcohqattackoilrisk$CORE 项目方都撤离节点了。不就明摆着跑了？还不服。不服多买点Tonight's CPI data isn't here to scare people, it's here to kill directly. Overall inflation exceeded expectations, and core inflation rose simultaneously, which means the Fed's excuse of "only energy price increases" has been completely torn apart. The market's previous bet on "no change in October" is now being ground into the ground.
After the data came out, BTC directly fell below 82,000; the previously repeatedly mentioned psychological support at 80,000 has now become a ceiling. ETF funds were already flowing out, and now with tightening macro expectations, buyers dare not enter. Long-term holders on-chain are still buying, but they can't hold off institutions dumping in the futures market. If 80,000 can't hold, the next support is 78,000.
ETH fell the hardest tonight, crashing near 2,400. It was the weakest among the three to begin with; ETF continues to bleed, staking yields can't keep up with U.S. Treasuries, and institutions are not supporting the price below. When BTC weakens, ETH falls the most; tonight's trend is a vivid example. Don't expect it to strengthen independently in the short term.
Gold $XAUT also plunged tonight, spot gold dropped nearly 2%. Core inflation exceeding expectations pushed up real interest rates, and the dollar and U.S. Treasury yields rose together. Non-yielding gold can only take a hit in the short term.
My view is straightforward: don't bet on the data, bet on the collapse of market trust in the Fed. The data just landed; don't rush to chase the first candlestick, wait for the sentiment to release before making moves. #美国9月CPI同比升至3.7%，核心通胀超预期 5.9%—this is not an interest rate figure; it is a critical load threshold hanging over the skyscraper of the US stock market. The 10-year US Treasury yield is 5.2%, 70 basis points away from that threshold, while 37% of fund managers have marked 6% on their blueprints, and 19% have already started moving the steel reinforcements within the load-bearing structure.
I have been doing structural design for twenty years, and what I fear most is not earthquakes, but resonance. When short-term government bonds begin to be accumulated, when nearly six years of underweight positions are wiped out in one stroke and shift to overweight short bonds, turning neutral on US stocks—this is not just portfolio adjustment; it is the main structure quietly unloading non-load-bearing walls, concentrating the load toward the core tube. There is a phrase in design codes: in any building, the first to fail is never the facade, but when everyone simultaneously decides to head for the same exit.
The 70 basis points between 5.2% and 5.9% act as expansion joints, dampers, and inter-story displacement space that allows the market to catch its breath. But once it crosses 6%, you will find that the rise in long-term yields is no longer gentle—it behaves like uneven foundation settlement, tearing from the basement all the way to the top floor. The volatility of both the stock and bond markets will be amplified simultaneously because they share the same foundation: liquidity.
BofA’s survey says there has been no large-scale rotation. That’s because real shifts never happen linearly. When we do seismic design, the most dangerous buildings are those that "look stable"—they weld all joints rigidly, lacking ductility, and suddenly fail in a brittle manner at a certain load. The current US stock market is in this state: the surface structure is intact, but it lacks deformation capacity. BlackRock moving positions toward short bonds is equivalent to admitting that the risk premium on the long end is no longer sufficient to cover future interest and uncertainty.
As for $xUSAR and similar tokenized US stock assets, they play the role of the curtain wall in this story, not the main structure. Curtain walls do not bear loads themselves, but they are the first to sense wind pressure and temperature differences. Once the underlying yield curve steepens, the curtain wall’s connectors will be the first to creak.
The real problem is not the 6% figure. It lies in the fact that when everyone is focused on the deflection of the same beam, no one checks the axial compression ratio of the columns. The market is never brought down by a single interest rate; it is slowly exhausted by the stress redistribution within the load-bearing system. #bofastockbonddivide
