$SNDK This time, SNDK is very typical, with 86% of people unanimously bullish, which is a "buy the rumor, sell the fact" scenario after the expected peak.
The AI storage story has not been falsified; the storage demand supporting computing power remains, and the long-term logic is still intact. This is also why funds have continuously pushed it up before. But the biggest short-term problem is the overly strong consensus; when everyone is waiting for a surge, the main funds take the opportunity to realize profits. Additionally, storage is a cyclical sector, and once the price increase pace slows down, it can easily trigger a valuation correction.
After this high consensus bullishness fails, short-term sentiment has already weakened. Next, priority should be given to consolidating and digesting selling pressure; it will be quite difficult to directly push to new highs again.
If you want to play the game:
✅ Conservative approach: wait for a pullback to stabilize and then break through resistance with increased volume before considering going long;
❌ Not recommended to chase highs or bottom-fish now; rebounds after a consensus breakdown are mostly opportunities to reduce positions;
Short selling strategies suit light positions with quick entries and exits, as the storage sector is prone to news disturbances and can easily see a bullish reversal on a single strong candle.Seeing "zero holdings," I first remind myself not to rush into translating it as bearish news. When explaining this kind of information to newcomers, I usually start by distinguishing two concepts: how much was sold in a week is flow; how much remains in hand is stock.
Bitdeer posted a weekly update on X: As of October 30, 265.5 bitcoins were produced this week, all sold, with a net increase of 0, currently holding 0, excluding customer deposits. Calculating with these numbers, 265.5 produced minus 265.5 sold means no new $BTC was retained this week.
📌 My judgment is that this news alone is not enough to constitute strong bearishness. The volume sold this week corresponds to this week's production and should not be read as additional selling of an equal amount of old holdings; without concurrent market transaction volume for comparison, the impact size cannot be judged. Newcomers are most likely to equate "all sold" directly with "bearish," then use it as a basis for shorting. I will continue to observe the production and sales rhythm and not let a striking headline make the judgment for me.#Apple's new CEO receives the first report card for iPhone 18 The broader picture is a market where institutional exposure is being reduced across major assets, but capital isn't leaving every corner of crypto equally.
I'm paying particular attention to whether BTC and ETH can reverse these withdrawals and whether ZEC can sustain its positive flow momentum.
Capital rotation is worth tracking, especially when price action starts telling a different story.
#FedHikeOutlookDivided Conclusion first: 225 million XRP (280 million USD) is locked in three stablecoin loans on Maple, with the earliest maturity on December 4 — both a demand and a looming sell order.
Maple's syrupUSDC and syrupUSDT pools have about 225 million XRP pledged; three principal amounts are 41.6 million USDC (12/4), 55 million USDC (12/12), and 55.2 million USDT (1/15/2027), totaling 151.8 million.
The only DeFi scale on the XRPL chain: DefiLlama shows XRPL's total TVL jumped from 39.4 million on 10/27 to 339 million on 10/28, with Maple accounting for 88%, and the rest only 38 million. The funds are borrowed from Ethereum, collateralized by native XRP.
$XRP current price is 1.2475, 24h -0.76%; perpetual positions at 98.82 million USD, funding rate -0.0032%/8h.
The maturity date is a hard constraint: if renewed, 225 million XRP remains locked; if not, only 38 million other liquidity remains on-chain, so who will take on the 151.8 million principal?
Will you wait until December 4, or act in advance? $XRP ETH smart money position core data analysis, both longs and shorts find this position difficult, check before opening a trade!!!
ETH current price 2242.25, funding rate -0.0109%.
There are 2483 smart money traders in total, nominal long-short ratio 27.90%.
Longs: 878 traders, holding 421.75M, average entry price 2779.83, unrealized loss 101 million, profit ratio 38.83%, heavy pressure from high-level trapped positions.
Shorts: 1605 traders, holding 1.51B, average entry price 2239.12, slight unrealized loss 2.1085 million, profit ratio 58.87%, most short positions still have profit potential.
ETH support: 2170 resistance: 2260, mainly long at support levels.
Market logic
Short positions significantly larger than longs, current price slightly above short average price, shorts slightly retracing. Long trapped positions are heavy, considerable selling pressure above, market follows BTC linkage with oscillation, short-term likely to maintain back-and-forth spikes and shakeouts, no clear one-sided trend yet.

See how the real main whales withdraw funds in the crypto circle. Total profit and loss of 220 million U, a crazy 74 million U earned in 7 days, over 10 million U credited in 24 hours, and a 650 million position openly shown to you! This is the real dimensionality reduction strike.
Look at this divine short position: Ethereum opened a short near 100,000 at $2322, 5x full position, currently making nearly 8 million on a single coin! Bitcoin opened a short of 2300 at 76,000, although currently floating a loss of over 2 million, the liquidation price is far at 136,000; Solana shorted nearly 700,000 at $94, also ignoring volatility. Notice? The whales are all short! Why can they sit steadily and fish? Because their capital size is large and leverage is extremely low. Nearly 140 million margin, liquidation price set nine days away, no matter how the spot market spikes, they won't be liquidated. What's more annoying is that just from the funding rates of these three coins, they picked up over 11 million U for free! This is the whale's mindset: not making small short-term profits, but eating the absolute dividends of the trend. When the market fluctuates, retail investors get hit from both long and short sides, but the big players rely on trend layout and low-leverage full positions to secure gains in any condition. If you don't understand the main force's bottom cards, you'll always be a chump. Want to know when this wave of short whales will close their positions? Where is the next key support in the market? Hit follow, join the group on the homepage, I'll lead you to track whale movements in real time, directly copy the big players' bottom card strategies, and get on board early to profit!Harshly criticizing the false prosperity, the real knife is the withdrawal of US capital
Don't be fooled by the sideways consolidation; BTC is currently just barely holding on with existing funds. The culprit behind this drop is not macro data at all, but US institutions frantically draining and retreating.
Look at $BTC, BTC had a net ETF outflow of over 600 million USD in a single day, completely giving back all the inflows from the previous four days. The most fatal detail is that the Coinbase premium index has dropped to its lowest point since November 2022, the time when FTX collapsed. What does this indicate? It means that domestic US buying power has completely died out. Previously, BTC could hold strong only because of US stock funds propping it up; now that Americans are fleeing, hoping Asian retail investors will absorb this massive selling pressure is pure fantasy.
Look at $ETH, Ethereum is always hopeless. Once US capital withdraws, Ethereum, which lacks an independent narrative, reveals its true colors. The ecosystem can't produce anything new, the funding side has no support, and when the market softens, it falls harder than anyone else.
Look at $XAUT, gold is also dragged down by US debt hemorrhaging. With the ten-year yield high, funds are all running to risk-free interest, and the flight to safety funds have been drained causing a stampede. But gold's underlying fundamentals are much more solid than crypto; being hammered into a gold pit in the short term is actually an opportunity. Don't use short-term sentiment to trap long-term logic.
In summary, the current consolidation is just a smokescreen by the main players to cover up capital withdrawal. Without US capital returning, the market can't stabilize at all. Control your hands to protect your principal, wait for this deleveraging wave to fully clear before picking up the bloodied chips. #BTC持续震荡，后续走势受多重因素影响 For this type of security incident, I look at whether the risk and reward are symmetrical. Kintsu restoring the domain pointing is a positive fix, but not enough to justify users taking on connection risks. Fixing quickly and being able to use it with confidence are two different things.
Kintsu stated that the official website domain has been restored and now points to the normal infrastructure, but DNS cache clearing takes time, and some networks may still access the malicious site within the next hour. The official advice is to avoid visiting the site and connecting wallets until a security confirmation notice is issued.
My judgment is: the repair progress means there is a basis for returning to normal, but cache differences mean individual access results cannot represent overall safety. If you just use the site early, the benefit is convenience; if you encounter a malicious page, the potential loss could be on your assets, which is not a favorable risk-reward. I will treat the official security confirmation as the next observation point and not consider the "one hour" as an automatic countdown for clearance.Liquidity Retreat: AI and Crypto Repricing
On October 31, BTC repeatedly contested $77,000, with over 240,000 liquidations in 24 hours and $1.6 billion cleared; Anthropic Pre-IPO contracts plunged more than 7% due to S-1 disclosure. During the liquidity retreat, narrative premiums are being repriced.
$ANTHROPICUSDT: $168.39, -1.08%. Essentially an IPO expectation contract. The S-1 shows a net loss of 80.7 billion and revenue growth slowing to 47%, creating a gap between the 96.5 billion valuation and the 2 trillion narrative, with volatility reflecting pricing battles.
$BTCUSDT: $77,300.8, +0.02%. Just underwent leverage cleansing. High interest rates and U.S. Treasury yields above 5% suppress valuations. Although ETFs have inflows, Coinbase premium has been negative for 19 consecutive days, domestic buying has not returned, only a breather.
$ETHUSDT: $2,242.73, -0.03%. Glamsterdam upgrade delayed, likely missing the upgrade within the year. If Devcon 8 does not clarify the EIP-8037 timeline, $2,000 will be tested.
The market is converging from "narrative premium" to "certainty." Focus on three nodes: Anthropic IPO pricing, whether BTC can hold the $76,000-$77,000 support, and Devcon 8's clarity on ETH upgrades.
#StrategyQ3净利润创单季新高，数字资产收益贡献显著 The funding rate for SOL was -0.0097% in a perpetual contract snapshot taken at 7 AM on October 31, occurring every eight hours, which annualizes to -10.6%. The short side pays the long side. In the same snapshot, accounts holding long positions accounted for 76.1%, while shorts were only 23.9%.
Ethereum's funding rate was even lower at -0.0176%, with long accounts making up 74.3%. Bitcoin's rate remained positive at 0.0100%, with longs at 73.4%. XRP was positive at 0.0033%, with longs at 71.8%.
Looking at liquidations, CoinGlass reported about $82.75 million in SOL liquidations over 24 hours, with the entire market at $1.54 billion. Long positions accounted for 83.8%, involving 237,000 traders. Bitcoin liquidations totaled $498.9 million, and XRP was $38.46 million. During one hour on the night of October 29, SOL alone was liquidated for $46.8 million; by around 8:20 AM Beijing time, long liquidations in that hour had dropped to $12.46 million.
On the CoinGlass page, SOL contracts traded about $11.64 billion in 24 hours, spot about $1.34 billion, nearly nine times difference, with open interest around $5.57 billion. $SOL 【SEC Exemption Order: Targeted Relaxation of Treasury Clearing Requirements in the Repo Market】
On October 30, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued an exemption order waiving Treasury clearing requirements for certain "related-party internal transactions and non-U.S. repo transactions." This is a typical "market structure" signal—it doesn't make financial headlines but has a substantial impact on the operating costs of the repo market (a core money market with a scale of several trillion dollars).
The background is the Treasury clearing reform finalized last year: the SEC requires more Treasury transactions to go through central clearing, taking the liquidity crisis of March 2020 as a lesson. This exemption targets two marginal scenarios: repo transactions within financial institution groups and the clearing compliance burden of non-U.S. transactions. By granting exemptions to these two categories, the goal is to reduce the execution frictions of clearing reforms and avoid excessive compliance costs squeezing market liquidity.
The significance of this signal lies not in the immediate moment but in the direction: regulators are dynamically balancing "strengthening clearing safety" and "maintaining market liquidity," and tend to quickly fine-tune after receiving industry feedback. For ordinary investors, it implies the operating costs and resilience of the Treasury market; for those focused on macro content, it serves as a sample of the "regulatory detail flow"—beyond major news, these technical exemptions often reflect the pendulum position of regulatory attitudes earlier.#Federal Reserve officials signal rate hikes, December expectations still divided

Position monitoring record only, not investment advice
#Federal Reserve officials signal rate hikes, December expectations still divided There is an old rule in the crypto market: when the market tightens, what breaks first is trust, not price.
In the past two days, rumors about OKX being hacked have surfaced. The founder, Star, directly denied them, calling it "rumors." He also added: Over the past 13 years, continuous investment has been made in security construction, with technical capabilities, security systems, and practical experience far exceeding external perceptions.
Let's clarify the facts first. Only two things can be confirmed — the rumor exists, and the official denial. There are no screenshots of anomalies on the chain, no addresses showing fund outflows. This is a piece of news that has not been established on a factual level but has already been priced in emotionally.
The mechanism is not hard to understand. Exchanges are the only centralized nodes in the crypto world that require "trust." Their risk does not accumulate slowly but manifests as a bank-run style rush overnight. So the cheapest way to attack an exchange has never been to break its hot wallet but to make enough people believe it has been breached. A zero-cost rumor, paired with a few screenshots, can make some people run first. Those who run do not need evidence, only to see others running.
This is also why clarifications must be quick and must come from the founder personally. Holders of $BTC and $ETH don't feel it deeply; the ones truly affected are assets like $OKB, which are directly tied to the platform's credit.
My judgment: the short-term emotional impact does not constitute a trend reversal. What really needs to be watched is whether anyone continues to sell after the rumor is debunked. If volume falls within a day or two, it means the market has accepted the explanation; if selling pressure instead intensifies, then it is worth being cautious.Up 61.4% compared to a week ago, this figure concerns me more than the single-day drop. DefiLlama's latest stats show that DEX trading volume in the past 24 hours was about $12.5 billion, down 23.5% from the previous day, with top volumes from Uniswap V3, Uniswap V4, and PancakeSwap AMM V3.
If I were to write a strategy, I would first set an observation rule: if daily trading volume drops but remains higher than a week ago, mark it as "heat cooling down, activity still high" rather than directly concluding an on-chain downturn. As a quant newbie, I think this is more reliable than calling it bearish just because of negative numbers 🤖.
The advantage of this rule is that it separates short-term cooling from longer-term activity changes. My judgment is that this data set is better suited for observing trading demand, not for directly judging coin prices. Volume records turnover; speculation and position changes can both contribute to trading, so higher volume does not equal net capital inflow.
The flaw is obvious: if a week ago was a low base, the increase looks more impressive. I will continue to observe whether subsequent volumes can be maintained and whether activity is concentrated in a few trading pairs; these are conditions I want to add, not conclusions already in this info. If you write your own rules, would you add "consecutive days above the previous week" or "more trading pairs increasing volume together"?$PEPE on-chain data is sometimes more inspiring than any motivational speech. When hackers' sell-offs triggered market panic, a whale named "wenyu8888888" did the opposite: took out 2.61 million USDC to buy 297.9 billion $PEPE in the panic sell-off, then transferred it to Gate 20 minutes later, netting a $270,000 profit in 5 hours.
Setting aside the moral controversy, this move taught all retail investors a lesson: in the same crash, some see disaster, others see liquidity. The hackers' sell-off was a zero-cost chip indiscriminate dump, characterized by ending immediately after the dump without continuation. Smart money’s script is always: buy at the panic peak, sell after sentiment recovers, profiting from the spread between panic and calm.
Looking back at the market now, hackers dumped $40 million, and 12 hours later the price rebounded 8%, all confirming the logic behind that $270,000 trade. The market never lacks opportunities; what’s missing is the courage to place buy orders when everyone else is running away.
Of course, I don’t encourage copying his quick in-and-out style—that’s a skillful act, risky and bleeding at the edge, one mistake and you’re wiped out. But his operation at least shows one thing: at the current price level, in the eyes of the most professional funds, panic prices are bargain prices. Today the group chat is unusually quiet, no one is speaking—this kind of silence is often more alarming than the crash itself. $BTC fell below 78,000, hovering around 77,971, down 2.51% intraday; $SOL at 97, down 2.81%; $ETH down 3.80%; $ZEC only up 0.10%, almost wiped out. 😶 But the real eye-opener is the position data: within one hour, $BTC dropped 1.40%, $ETH 0.72%, $SOL 1.41%, $ZEC 1.22%; on the daily chart, $ETH down 5.56%, $SOL the deepest drop at 12.98%, $ZEC down 3.55%. Both timeframes show synchronized sharp declines, with total network positions at 136.43 billion, shrinking by 2.62%. On the surface, this looks like a full-scale retreat. From another perspective, the story is completely different. This afternoon options expired, options positions dropped to 33.1 billion, relieving some pressure; institutional contract positions at 8.92 billion, counter-trend up 2.49%—the whole network is reducing, but they are increasing. Volume at 343.7 billion, surging 70.56%. If no one is participating, where does this volume come from? 🔥 My judgment is: this is deleveraging, not capital withdrawal. The panic is in the positions, the capital remains in place. What’s being wiped out is leverage, not faith. $BTC $ETH $SOL So I’m not in a hurry to exit. The volume-driven drop is washing out leverage; retreating at the lowest point is the least cost-effective choice. I’m waiting for two signals: $SOL returning above 100, and options positions stopping their decline In the early morning of October 30 Beijing time, Strategy ($MSTR) released its Q3 report. Operating profit was $20.91 billion, which the company said was the largest quarter in history. On the next trading day, MSTR closed at about $130.5, down about 7.8% from $141.62 the previous day. Profit hit a record, but the stock price fell. After reading the financial report, I think the numbers worth looking at are not the largest ones, but the small print below. 1. Where did the $20.9 billion come from? The report is very straightforward: Q3 operating profit was $20.91 billion, of which digital asset gains were exactly $20.91 billion. Software business total revenue was $125.4 million, down 3% year-on-year. In other words, this quarter's profit almost entirely came from fair value changes due to Bitcoin price increases. This is a book gain, not cash received from selling coins or software. The report also includes a comparison: in Q3, MSTR stock price rose 76%, while $BTC rose 43%. When prices change, the book value must be recalculated. The same applies to Q4. 2. Holdings and cost As of October 25, Strategy held 848,517 BTC, a 26% increase year-to-date. Total cost was $64.02 billion, averaging about $75,446 per coin. The company values it at $81,200 per coin as of October 23, with a market value of $68.9 billion. Beijing time today Strategy's Q3 net profit reached approximately $19.53 billion, with a significant contribution from digital asset income. This achievement is eye-catching, but I believe ordinary shareholders should not overlook one line.
Net profit attributable to ordinary shareholders was about $19.12 billion, which reflects the impact of approximately $419.6 million in preferred stock dividends. This does not mean that these profits have been paid out in cash to ordinary shareholders, but it reminds us that the capital structure affects the equity ultimately attributable to ordinary shareholders.
After buying MSTR, what you get is not a BTC position without other claims. Debt, preferred stock, and changes in the number of ordinary shares all need to be considered.
This is also why, even if the company's book profit increases significantly, the stock price performance may still differ from BTC. Investors will also evaluate financing costs, equity distribution, and subsequent capital arrangements.
I acknowledge the improvement this market brings to the financial statements, but I will not solve valuation issues solely based on record net profits.
Especially metrics like coins per share and BTC Yield have their own calculation assumptions and cannot replace a complete asset-liability analysis.
If you like its strategy, that's perfectly fine; but it's worth being a bit more patient when researching. How much the company earned, how much equity corresponds to ordinary shares, and how much the market pays for that equity — all three accounts should be reviewed for a more solid judgment.
#StrategyQ3净利润创单季新高，数字资产收益贡献显著 Over $400 million liquidated in 24 hours, BTC leads a double blow to longs and shorts!
📊 Market Sentiment Overview
The total liquidation across the entire network in the past 24 hours is staggering, with BTC firmly in first place at $205 million (35.1%), followed closely by ETH at nearly $100 million. Notably, precious metals XAU and XAG also saw significant long liquidations, indicating that macro safe-haven assets are experiencing intense volatility.
⚠️ Key Signals:
ZEC Emerges Strongly: During the mainstream coin pullback, ZEC's liquidation volume reached 7.73 million, with short liquidations (4.05 million) slightly exceeding longs. Combined with previous candlestick trends, this suggests that major players are aggressively shaking out short leverage, making subsequent price action worth watching.
SNDK and SOXL: Tokens related to tech stocks suffered heavy long liquidations, hinting at the transmission of sentiment from traditional tech stocks $BTC $SNDK $ZEC The order book was disrupted by the massive options expiration. Today, instead of discussing technical levels, let's talk about who is rebuilding leverage and who is still withdrawing after the options expiration:
$BTC's rebound is weak; after the options expiration, the bulls have not rebuilt confidence. On 10/30, Deribit had 135k BTC expiring, with a notional value of about 11 billion, accounting for 35% of the platform's total open interest.
The next anchor after expiration is the 12/25 expiration (max pain around 75k). The funding rate is +0.0044%, lower than the 30-day average of 0.0052%, so the bulls are barely paying.
The November monthly candle opened at 83,564, with about an 88% probability of closing lower than it opened on the final day. With expectations of a rate hike in December, a bearish monthly close is highly probable.
$ETH has the heaviest leverage and the bears are betting the hardest. Open interest is 42.18 billion, the largest among the three. The spot ETF saw a net outflow of 1.08 billion in October, the largest single-month outflow this year, wiping out the 832 million net inflow in September.
ETH is the most leveraged and the most painful to deleverage among the three brothers; I won't acknowledge a bottom unless it recovers 2200.
$SOL's leverage is withdrawing but the bulls are still betting. Open interest is 8.07 billion; yesterday, OI dropped by 6%, indicating active leverage withdrawal. HIP-3 accounts for 35% of Hyperliquid volume, and on-chain adoption is expanding, so this SOL drop is driven by macro factors; once the market stabilizes, it should lead. #美联储官员释放加息信号，12月预期仍存分歧

#美联储官员释放加息信号，12月预期仍存分歧 More than 12 hours of Qatari mediation in Tehran shows both sides still see value in a channel, even while their sequencing demands remain far apart: Washington wants nuclear concessions; Tehran wants sanctions and blockades lifted first.
Brent's Oct. 30 close at $117.64 leaves energy markets exposed to delay. Talks may reduce risk, but no deal yet changes the supply picture.
#QatarMediatesUSIran "Not hitting the stop loss, but possibly exiting because of waiting too long," Ansem talks about Bitcoin short-term trading, and what I care about most is this detail. It feels quite familiar from the last cycle: the short-term logic delays execution, but the discussion slowly turns into long-term belief.
What makes this time a bit different for me is that he also treats time as a condition to test the logic, rather than just focusing on price. My judgment is that this is more valuable than guessing the next candlestick. Since the bet is on quick fluctuations, a prolonged lack of movement means the original judgment needs reevaluation; but this does not mean that sideways movement is negative, nor can it be directly applied to long-term holding.
Looking at it in terms of cycles, I prefer to treat this as a topic of trading discipline, not a signal of market reversal. Do veteran players have the same familiarity: originally looking at the short term, but after waiting, switching to the long term? Do you set a verification deadline for your judgment in advance?"Negative news lands! The underlying logic behind Bithumb delisting CORE: Reward anomaly risks fail to dispel exchange concerns
South Korea's second-largest exchange Bithumb officially announced the delisting of CORE, rooted in the validator block reward anomaly incident on the Core chain at the end of August: a few validator nodes received block rewards far exceeding the protocol's preset rules, triggering platform security concerns. Bithumb immediately suspended CORE deposits and withdrawals, marked it as a trading warning asset, and initiated a lengthy evaluation period.
The exchange gave the project team ample time to explain, but the explanations submitted by Core never fully alleviated the platform's concerns about the on-chain anomaly risks. After multiple rounds of extended evaluation, Bithumb determined that CORE no longer met the continuous listing standards and ultimately decided to delist it.
A dramatically timed conflict: shortly before the delisting news broke, Core had just officially announced the completion of block production rights transfer and the exit of core contributors from the DAO, fully promoting the milestone of decentralization transformation. The positive narrative strongly countered the negative impact of delisting by a leading exchange.
From a market perspective, Bithumb is the core Korean won trading hub in South Korea. The delisting will directly reduce CORE's liquidity and retail exposure in Korea, putting short-term sentiment under pressure. It is important to clarify: exchange delisting does not mean the Core public chain stops operating; the on-chain network continues to run normally. The market will focus on whether other leading exchanges will follow suit and reassess the risks of listing CORE.#Palantir财报前瞻：Can high growth support a high valuation? Q3 revenue guidance is 2.16 billion, up over 80% year-over-year. The market has already priced in AIP's commercial ramp-up and government contract renewals — 150x PE, 70x 2027 free cash flow, with zero margin for error.
The real issue isn't this quarter's numbers: The base for US commercial growth keeps getting higher, customer count quarter-over-quarter dropped from 42% to 35%, and the Bootcamp customer acquisition bonus is fading; Q3 also has to bear upfront recruiting season costs, so even if the profit margin looks good, it carries a bit of a "one-time operating leverage" flavor. Government orders are stable, but essentially it's still a defense budget cycle stock, which can't support a pure SaaS premium.
More troublesome is the narrative: AIP has moved from "stunning" to "delivery phase." The market doesn't want another 90% increase; it wants net retention, per-customer payment, and nonlinear expansion of commercial customers all accelerating simultaneously. Missing one means a valuation cut due to "AI implementation peaking," not a performance cut.
So as long as the earnings report doesn't deliver the "triple combo" of "beat expectations + raise guidance + commercial breakthrough," the high level means all good news is priced in. The money printer hasn't stopped, but the stock price is buying "forever acceleration," which physical laws do not allow.
Conclusion: Good company, bad entry point. On earnings night, don't bet on beating expectations; bet on how "perfect pricing" cracks.$ZEC
This morning I saw the Winklevoss brothers publicly calling to dissolve the ZEC grants committee, and some people said that privacy coin governance is about to collapse. I think they are criticizing the wrong thing; the real risk is the NU7 upgrade on November 5. There are still 22,263.34 ZEC lying dormant in the old Sprout pool on-chain, worth over 28 million USD at the current price. Once the upgrade activates, these will be permanently locked and unrecoverable. The official statement says it won't affect the total supply, but having so many coins untouched for five or six years, with their owners completely inactive, is itself a signal. I just tested it: ZEC is hovering around 1260 now, with a 24-hour low of 1207, and the fee rate is still positive at 0.01%. Before the upgrade, the key move to watch is where the old coins are moving, not the short-term price direction.
#美联储官员释放加息信号，12月预期仍存分歧 Objectively speaking from the market perspective, the AI sector is accelerating its bottoming process, while pharmaceuticals and energy are accelerating toward their peaks. During the broad asset sell-off, gold did not serve as a safe-haven asset; only oil and U.S. Treasuries saw capital inflows.
This indicates liquidity is weak, with even gold being sold off. Is the plan to push people into U.S. Treasuries? #苹果新CEO迎来iPhone18首份成绩单 The iPhone revenue is supported by Pro price increases and stockpiling, but shipments are not actually that strong; service growth continues to decline, and the high-margin engine is starting to show signs of aging; rising memory and advanced process costs are eating into gross margins from the cost side, with Q4 guidance below 12% growth. The market wants "acceleration," and failure to deliver means disappointment.
More critically, AI—Apple Intelligence—is still catching up. Siri restructuring, on-device models, and cloud-side cooperation have yet to produce a payable closed loop. Hardware sells well, but valuation premiums rely on the "services + AI second curve," which currently has neither volume growth nor pricing power.
So, although revenue and profit still look okay, core EPS excluding one-time tariff refunds offers no surprises. High pricing embeds growth for the next two years; a financial report that merely "meets expectations" is effectively "below expectations."
Conclusion: The cash machine is still running, but the story shifts from "growth stock" back to "cash cow." Valuation will be cut by half first, waiting for Q1 guidance and AI monetization models to materialize before reconsidering.The rumor about Binance is just a "matchstick," but the kindling for ETH was already piled up 7 days ago.
Many attribute the drop on October 30th to the rumor of "Binance suspected of being hacked." On-chain monitoring showed Binance's hot wallet transferring assets worth between 2 to 2.5 billion dollars, with traces involving Tornado Cash funding. The total futures liquidations across the network were about 659 million dollars, with long positions accounting for nearly 87%, and ETH liquidations about 192 million dollars.
But if you attribute ETH's decline entirely to this rumor, you miss the truly important point.
Gate's analysis pointed out a crucial fact: before the Binance incident entered public view, the ETH/BTC exchange rate had already slipped from 0.0319 to around 0.0291, a drop of about 13% on the 30th, while BTC's decline during the same period was less than 5%.
ETH's weakness is not "dragged down by Binance." ETH's weakness "had already taken shape before the Binance incident."
When risk appetite contracts, capital prioritizes BTC as the "last stronghold," while ETH is classified as a "high Beta asset" and is the first to be reduced. The Binance rumor was just throwing a match onto a pile of kindling that had already been doused with oil.
$BTC $ETH $SOL #美联储官员释放加息信号，12月预期仍存分歧 #OKX、ICE与Trade.xyz联手，推动永续合约进入美国合规市场 #加密行业协同守护资产安全 #Circle's earnings report is imminent, can stablecoin growth deliver profits? What does Circle make money from? It's basically an issuer of "digital dollars." You exchange real money for USDC, and it uses your funds to buy U.S. Treasury bonds to earn interest. So, whether its earnings report looks good depends entirely on the scale of USDC issuance and how much interest it earns. The market is currently most concerned that while its scale has expanded, whether the payment business is profitable and if distribution costs have been reduced. The probabilities of "exceeding expectations" and "falling short" are 50 to 51, almost a toss-up. The tokenized stock CRCL also dipped slightly, indicating extreme hesitation among investors. My personal view: This earnings report has a very critical hidden risk. Although USDC's circulating supply has increased by 25%, its reserve income only rose by 5%! Why? Because profits are tightly bound to reserve interest rates. The Fed is stubbornly maintaining high rates, so theoretically, interest income should be booming. But if Circle has paid a lot of "pass-through fees" to platforms for new user acquisition and distribution, profits will be severely squeezed. It's like running a big mall with more foot traffic, but giving channel partners too high a rebate, leaving very little profit in your own pocket. Moreover, if the Fed actually cuts rates in the future, its "easy money" interest-earning model will immediately face serious uncertainty. What impact does this have? In the short term, this is a liquidity indicator. USDC is an important source of liquidity in our market. If the earnings report shows USDC's scale is still growing rapidly, it means When I saw this message, the first thought that came to mind was: Is the large capital reducing risk, or just adjusting positions? When there is no clear direction in macro liquidity, I am more afraid of misinterpreting partial redemptions as a full-scale withdrawal.
According to SoSoValue data, on October 30th Eastern Time, the US $SOL spot ETF had a net outflow of $10.742 million, with BSOL outflowing $9.2561 million. However, its historical cumulative net inflow still stands at $1.123 billion.
My inclination is that this looks more like a localized cooling on the allocation side, not enough to define a shift in institutional sentiment: the outflow is mainly concentrated in one product, and the historical cumulative net inflow has not been erased by this single day. My speculation is that if the US dollar strengthens, liquidity tightens, and redemptions spread to more products, then the macro risk-off explanation would be more convincing. Right now, what are people most concerned about: the US dollar trend, US Treasury yields, or rate cut expectations? Which is most likely to affect this type of capital?Seeing Curve's trading volume drop by half in one day, the first reaction is "It's over, something's wrong," right? I thought so at first too, 847 million down to 425 million, the numbers are indeed intimidating.
But looking further down made me laugh: 425 million is still more than 3 times the average of the past seven days. It's like a store selling 80,000 yesterday and 40,000 today, you worry it's going bankrupt, but normally it only sells a bit over 10,000 a day.
3pool is even more interesting, the volume shrank to just a quarter, but the USDT in the pool actually decreased, while DAI and USDC increased. Someone exchanged USDT out, just not as aggressively as before.The heat has cooled down, but not completely. $CRV's trading volume dropped from $847 million to $425 million in one day. Looking at this number alone, the conclusion easily becomes "the heat is over." But there's another half to the same data: $425 million is still 335% higher than the median of the past seven days. This is not a fall back to the ground, but a drop from extremely hot to very hot.
What really matters is where the money is moving. On the same day, Ethereum 3pool's trading volume was $82.14 million, down sharply from $343 million the previous day. But the balance direction is the opposite: USDT dropped from about 121 million to 113 million, DAI rose to about 24.25 million, and USDC rose to about 24.56 million.
This indicates that USDT's share in 3pool dropped from 74.8% to 69.8%. The deviation in stablecoin pool share shows that someone is exchanging USDT out, and the one-way squeeze is weakening.
Mechanically, 3pool is the main channel for stablecoin swaps. When one stablecoin's share is too high, the market-making price tends to swap it out, and arbitrageurs keep moving it until the spread converges. Volume shrinkage often doesn't mean people have left, but that the price difference has been eaten up.
My judgment: this round of volume peak has passed, but the baseline level has been raised, and the weekly average volume more than tripled will not disappear overnight. We need to watch whether USDT's share will continue to decline.
A question to leave: when the pullback mainly comes from the disappearance of arbitrage space, what will the next wave rely on? $BTC is currently at 77173.2, down 0.16% in 6 hours.
$ETH is currently at 2238.89, down 0.20% in 6 hours, down 0.38% in 24 hours, with a low of 2235.0 and a high of 2250.82.
Both weakened simultaneously, mainly due to the overnight US stock market "Black Friday": the Nasdaq 100 once dropped 4.5% intraday, and risk appetite contraction transmitted to crypto.
The funding side is also bearish; BTC spot ETF saw a net outflow of about 5250 coins the previous day, combined with Fed's Logan turning hawkish saying an additional cumulative 50 basis points rate hike is needed, putting macro liquidity expectations under pressure.
From a technical perspective, BTC's short-term support is at the 77000 round number; breaking below looks toward 76500; resistance is above 77600. ETH support is at 2235, resistance at 2250, with intraday volatility narrowing and direction to be chosen.
Operation advice: In the crypto sector, closely watch $BTC's 77000 level; do not chase rebounds on a break, wait to retake 77600 before discussing strengthening.
The market will not reward those who buy at the lowest point, only those who can withstand volatility and see the direction clearly.
This is only a personal review record and does not constitute any investment advice. The market has risks; operate cautiously.
#BTC财库优先股融资升温 🔥On-chain data this time shows that a giant whale holds short positions simultaneously in BTC, ETH, and SOL, with a total position of about $650 million. The position size is considerable, and the strategy is not simply a bet on a one-sided decline.
📌BTC uses 5x full margin, holding 2,319.6 coins, with an unrealized loss of $693,100, but has already collected $3,375,200 in funding fees; ETH uses 5x full margin, holding 100,000 coins, currently with an unrealized profit of $8,602,800, and funding fee income of $4,332,700; SOL uses 7x full margin, holding 696,100 coins, with an unrealized loss of $698,400, and funding fee income of $3,899,700. The total funding fees from these three positions exceed $11.6 million.
⚠️This indicates that funding fees can indeed offset holding costs and book losses to some extent, but they should not be understood as a permanent safety cushion. Funding rates may reverse, and the market could suddenly surge. Full margin leverage still carries risks. Especially for large positions, the impact of price fluctuations cannot be judged solely by current unrealized losses.
If the market continues to rebound today, will these short positions adjust? Do you think the whale is patiently collecting funding fees or waiting for a better opportunity to close positions? #美联储官员释放加息信号，12月预期仍存分歧 Weekend thick buy orders, just take a look
This weekend's market, I watched the order book for a long time, and the more I looked, the less I trusted it.
$BTC 77236, there are a bunch of long orders stacked around 75800 below, looking quite thick, as if someone is protecting it. But the net position bias is -0.016, which is bearish; the average leverage of longs is 22x, and within 2%, 6% of longs are close to liquidation. These support orders won't hold when the market crashes; instead, they will turn into queued liquidation orders. The resistance at 78008 is only 1% higher, pressing down 5.8 million.
$ETH 2240 is even more obvious, with a large buy order of 65.7 million hanging at 2127, quite thick, right? But above at 2301, there's 5.3 million pressing down, and within 5%, 8% of longs are close to liquidation. As long as this big wall stands, sentiment is stable, but if it withdraws, the price will plunge directly.
$SOL 95.98 is the most straightforward, with resistance at 97.18, hitting the wall after a 1.25% rise, and the sell orders are very close; the support orders are all at 91 and 93, with a big gap in between. If it wants to rebound, it first has to ask if the short orders above will allow it.
Liquidity is thin on weekends, and order placements and cancellations happen in an instant. Thick buy orders give a sense of security, but they can't hold the bottom. If a move is coming, you won't see it in the order book in advance.
#美联储官员释放加息信号，12月预期仍存分歧 🔥The three major mainstream coins are all shorted together, but the whales are not rushing to exit! The total scale of the three short positions in BTC, ETH, and SOL is about $650 million, with varying performance on the books, but one common point stands out: the funding fee income has already exceeded what ordinary traders imagine at the thousand-dollar level, accumulating over $11.6 million, becoming an important buffer for this set of positions.
🔍 Specifically, the BTC short position holds 2,319.6 coins, 5x full position, opened at $76,366.1, currently floating a loss of $693,100, with funding fee income of $3,375,200. The ETH short position holds 100,000 coins, 5x full position, opened at $2,322.74, currently floating a profit of $8,602,800, with funding fee income of $4,332,700. The SOL short position holds 696,100 coins, 7x full position, opened at $94.3346, currently floating a loss of $698,400, with funding fee income of $3,899,700.
💡 Currently, ETH contributes the main profit on the books; BTC and SOL have slight floating losses, but the funding fee income has already covered the corresponding losses. However, funding fees will change with the market, and short positions may also face pressure from continued price increases, so the safety of the positions cannot be judged solely based on current data.
Tonight, we will continue to observe the trends of the three coins and changes in funding rates. Do you think this set of positions will continue to be held, or will they adjust risk based on the current profit and loss structure? #美联储官员释放加息信号，12月预期仍存分歧 #Perspectives of Palantir's Financial Report: Can High Growth Sustain the High Valuation? 🔥All are short positions, BTC and SOL are still slightly losing, but ETH has already earned $8.6 million! This giant whale is simultaneously betting on the three major mainstream coins, with about $650 million in positions on-chain. The truly interesting part is the divergence in profit and loss among the three short orders, as well as the continuously incoming funding fees.
📉The BTC short uses 5x full margin, holding 2,319.6 coins, opened at $76,366.1, currently floating a loss of $693,100, but funding fees have already collected $3,375,200. ETH also uses 5x full margin, holding 100,000 coins, opened at $2,322.74, currently floating a profit of $8,602,800, with an additional $4,332,700 in funding fee income. The SOL short uses 7x full margin, holding 696,100 coins, opened at $94.3346, currently floating a loss of $698,400, with funding fee income of $3,899,700.
🧭From the ledger data, ETH is the current main source of profit, while BTC and SOL's funding fee income covers their respective floating losses. The total funding fees for the three positions exceed $11.6 million. But this does not mean the risk has disappeared; continued price increases may still expand short losses.
Tonight, the focus is on whether BTC, ETH, and SOL show synchronized weakness. Which short position do you think is most worth watching? #美联储官员释放加息信号，12月预期仍存分歧 🔥This time the whale's short position is backed not just by margin, but by the daily ongoing funding fees! BTC, ETH, and SOL all have short positions simultaneously, with a total position size of about $650 million. Although the profit and loss of the three positions are not synchronized, the funding fee income has already formed a considerable buffer.
📊First, look at BTC: 5x full position short, holding 2,319.6 coins, entry price $76,366.1, currently floating loss of $693,100, but cumulative funding fee income has reached $3,375,200. For ETH, 5x full position short holding 100,000 coins, entry price $2,322.74, currently floating profit of $8,602,800, funding fee income $4,332,700. SOL is a 7x full position short, holding 696,100 coins, floating loss of $698,400, funding fee income $3,899,700.
💰The combined funding fees collected from the three positions exceed $11.6 million, which is clearly higher than the current total floating losses of BTC and SOL. However, funding fees are not fixed income; market rate changes, price reversals, and margin usage all affect actual risk.
What’s worth watching today is whether the whale maintains the short structure across the three coins. Do you think this is more like a long-term hedge or waiting for the next round of decline? #美联储官员释放加息信号，12月预期仍存分歧 The 4.83% ETF net asset ratio is the input field I most wanted to highlight when reading this message. According to SoSoValue data, on October 30 Eastern Time, the Ethereum spot ETF had a net outflow of $156 million, marking five consecutive days of net outflows. I would list this as a warning for fund sentiment but would not immediately escalate it to "the entire Ethereum demand is retreating." 💻
Following the logic of code review, the logic must first pass type checking: ETF fund flow describes a channel and cannot be directly treated as the entire market demand. This ratio reminds me that the observation window has boundaries; drawing conclusions about the whole building based on changes within the window is a variable scope overreach.
The potential bug is on the other side as well: a low proportion does not mean the impact is small. If ETF outflows trigger other participants to simultaneously reduce risk exposure, then the sentiment impact may exceed its asset proportion. This is my speculation; the material itself does not prove this transmission chain.
If it were me, I would split the dashboard into "channel fund changes" and "whether the impact spills over," first reporting anomalies, then checking the call chain, without rushing to declare the entire ecosystem faulty. Please help me review: to verify whether this outflow has spillover effects, would you prioritize checking spot trading volume or on-chain fund flows? Why?$BTC and $ETH #苹果新CEO迎来iPhone18首份成绩单 are currently in different stress positions within the same round of deleveraging, rather than the same type of weakness. BTC's technical defense is stronger (the 77,000 moving average resonance + the 72,946 weekly midline), with partial support from ETF and spot buying on the capital side, and the funding rate not turning negative indicates that the bulls have not systematically surrendered; ETH, on the other hand, is under triple pressure from technical structure breakdown, continuous ETF redemptions, and narrative premium contraction. The gain or loss of 2,183–2,200 almost determines whether the short term will enter a bottoming phase or open a new round of downward space.
Short-term scenario simulation. Under the baseline scenario, BTC maintains weak oscillation in the 76,270–78,500 range. If the monthly close is above 77,000, the bottom structure is initially established, and there is a window for directional breakout early next week; if the daily close is below 77,000, the weekly support at 72,946 will come into view.
Key price levels. Immediate resistance above is in the 78,500–79,000 USD suppression zone, with stronger resistance at 79,693 USD (4-hour midline/80k psychological pivot) and 82,988 USD (daily Bollinger Band breakdown point and structural volume node). Immediate support below is at 76,260 USD (24-hour swing low and daily lower band). If the daily close is clearly below 77,000 USD, the daily Bollinger Band will open downward, with the next target pointing to the macro accumulation zone at the weekly midline of 72,946 USD.Last night, the US stock market also crashed, with tech stocks facing massive sell-offs. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index plummeted 7.2%, and the Nasdaq at one point dropped over 4% intraday.
Chip stocks were the worst hit; Intel, with its prominent presence, fell nearly 30% in one day; Nvidia dropped 4.22%, with its market cap falling below $5 trillion, losing its global number one spot to Apple! In the storage sector, SanDisk plunged 13.47%, SK Hynix fell 7.95%, and Micron Technology dropped 5.3%.
Gold didn't escape either, falling 3.65%, and silver plunged 6.23%!
Why did US stocks fall? Because faith in AI has shaken, and the expectations for popular tech stocks were too high before; now that earnings can't keep up, the sell-off is especially fierce. Why did gold crash? Because of the stock market crash, many leveraged positions need to meet margin calls, so gold is sold off first to raise cash; combined with inflation worries caused by high oil prices, gold keeps falling.
The A-shares market was already so bad, and now US stocks and gold have also crashed. It's like they don't want anyone to have a good weekend. A-shares tech stocks will face selling pressure again next Monday; let's see if there will be any new rescue measures over the weekend!
To be a bit more rational, with the US stock market plunging, should we jump along? Keep in mind, the Dow Jones is up 1.7% this month, Nasdaq down 5.3%, and S&P 500 down 0.93%. Meanwhile, the Shanghai Composite is down 6.33%, the ChiNext Index down 23%, and the STAR Market down 24%, the declines are not even on the same level! Even the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index is down 15% this month, still far less than the dual innovation boards.
At times like this, we should still have some confidence, after all, the dual innovation indexes have already fallen sharply in advance. The hacker's move was very clever — it rendered the measures to freeze Binance's stolen assets ineffective.
Before some USDT and USDC were frozen, the hacker managed to collateralize these stablecoins worth $60 million on $AAVE, borrowing about $45 million worth of $ETH in return.
Now Tether and Circle can only freeze the stablecoins in the wallet, but they are powerless against the ETH that has already been borrowed.
They might lose some money, but the money the hackers took home is absolutely safe.
Elon Musk believes this action was likely executed automatically by artificial intelligence to optimize profits, rather than being orchestrated by humans.Yesterday, the US spot BTC ETF saw a net outflow of $643 million, marking the highest single-day record since August 7. This is the most intense single-day withdrawal in nearly two months.
Breaking it down reveals even more noteworthy details. The largest outflow was from IBIT, with $234 million in a single day; closely followed by FBTC with $201 million. Together, these two accounted for $435 million, nearly 70% of the total outflow. Large outflows from both BlackRock and Fidelity’s leading products simultaneously indicate that this is not a single institution adjusting its portfolio alone, but rather a coordinated risk reduction across the entire institutional group. This signal is much more significant than an anomaly in a single product.
The capital flow of spot ETFs is significantly positively correlated with the price of $BTC, a fact repeatedly verified. On days with net inflows, prices tend to rise, while on consecutive days of net outflows, prices struggle to hold. The logic is straightforward: ETFs are one of the most important sources of incremental capital for this BTC cycle. When this channel shifts from buying to selling, the market’s marginal buying power shrinks considerably.
Therefore, this data should not be viewed in isolation. The single-day $643 million outflow is a warning signal; what truly determines the direction is whether this trend continues. Persistent outflows indicate systematic deleveraging by institutions, meaning $BTC’s rebound will lack ammunition; if it’s just a one-day portfolio adjustment followed by inflows, then this drop is more likely an overreaction driven by sentiment.
For ordinary holders, the focus now should not be on guessing the bottom but on monitoring the ETF flow line, which reflects the real money flow more directly than any candlestick chart. Without the return of incremental buying power, any rebound will be short-lived. The Perp DEX market is currently experiencing an intense battle for users. On-chain derivatives exchanges are emerging like mushrooms after rain, but the actual liquidity share has not expanded accordingly. Due to various projects constantly competing for market share, capital flow is severely fragmented.
Please check CryptoRank's volume chart:
January peak reached $940 billion.
July dropped to the lowest point: $533 billion
October slightly rebounded: $657 billion
- Current decline: down 30% from the peak at the beginning of the year.
Although October saw some improvement due to short-term market fluctuations, trading volume remains far below the booming levels at the start of the year. The core issue is that new funds have not truly flowed into the ecosystem. Existing participants are merely switching back and forth between different exchanges to seek airdrops or optimize trading fees.
Currently, the biggest risk for large traders is slippage and severe liquidity shortages that may occur during strong market rallies. On the other hand, only protocols that truly optimize payment mechanisms and retain professional derivatives traders can bring real opportunities. $BTC "Uptober" didn't come again this year, two years in a row
October's accounts are settled today. Bitcoin is around 77,200, down about 4% for the month, marking the second consecutive year of a decline in October—this is the first time since at least 2017. Historically, October's average gain is 18%, which is why the month is nicknamed "Uptober." This year, it didn't show up.
From the all-time high, BTC has retraced 38.8%, weekly drop of 4.29%, monthly drop of 8.79%. The Fear & Greed Index is at 30 (Fear), and Coinbase premium has been negative for 56 consecutive days—the US money has consistently been bidding below global prices.
The only major event this week is Binance. Official statement: affected assets are about 6.3 billion USD, approximately 3 billion frozen on-chain, net affected around 3 billion, accounting for just over 2% of user assets and public reserves; compensation will come from SAFU plus own funds, promising full 1:1 backing of user assets, withdrawals expected to resume within 42 hours. The breach originated from a laptop of an operations engineer. TRM Labs estimates actual outflow about 6.36 billion, most completed within 20 minutes, roughly four times the scale of the 2025 Bybit case.
Please note the hierarchy of these three figures: affected, frozen, net loss—they are not the same. Binance also clarified a rumor: "Binance must buy 6.3 billion USD on the market" is false because most of the own reserves are already held in token form. This clarification is crucial; it explains why the price drop is 4% instead of 15%.
But some numbers still look bad: 1.55 billion USD liquidated in 24 hours, mostly long positions; futures open interest dropped to 136.3 billion, but volume rose 74%—more trading, less open interest, this is deleveraging, not bottom fishing.
So my judgment is: this wave is not "panic," but deleveraging plus a trust discount. The former is technical, the latter won't disappear with withdrawal resumption.
Key levels: now 76,675 is the weekly low, above 78,000 turned from support to resistance, then down to 75,000.
Discussion: With the exchange hacked, what exactly is falling—the coin or the "custody" issue?
I lean more toward the former. 6.3 billion stolen, price only down 4%—if this were 2022, the drop would likely be double digits. The market's restrained reaction shows it distinguishes two things: what was stolen was Binance's money, not Bitcoin's ledger.
Poll: What do you think needs the most scrutiny in this event—A. Why could the hot wallet be emptied of 6.3 billion at once; B. Can the 3 billion frozen really be returned; C. How is the "just over 2%" ratio calculated; D. None of these matter, just resume withdrawals.
I choose A. The entry point was a laptop, and it was connected to tens of billions.
Not investment advice, risk on your own. #MarketAnalysis $BTCYesterday marked the end of October, and the market was disrupted by a massive volume of expiring options. Today, instead of discussing technical levels, let's talk about whose leverage is rebuilding and who is still withdrawing after the options expiration:
$BTC's rebound is weak; after the options expiration, the bulls haven't rebuilt confidence. On 10/30, Deribit saw 135k BTC expire, with a notional value of about 11 billion, accounting for 35% of the platform's open interest.
The next anchor after expiration is on 12/25 (max pain around 75k). The funding rate is +0.0044%, below the 30-day average of 0.0052%, meaning the bulls are barely paying.
The November monthly candle opened at 83,564, and the probability of closing below the open on the final day is about 88%. With expectations of a rate hike in December, a bearish monthly close is highly likely.
$ETH has the heaviest leverage and the bears are betting the hardest. Open interest is 42.18 billion, the largest among the three. The spot ETF saw a net outflow of 1.08 billion in October, the largest single-month outflow this year, wiping out the 832 million net inflow in September.
Among the three, ETH has the fattest leverage and the most painful deleveraging. I won't acknowledge a bottom unless 2200 is reclaimed.
$SOL's leverage is withdrawing but the bulls are still betting. Open interest is 8.07 billion; yesterday, OI dropped by 6%, indicating active deleveraging. HIP-3 accounts for 35% of Hyperliquid volume, and on-chain adoption is expanding, so this SOL drop is driven by macro factors. Once the market stabilizes, it should lead.#The new CEO of Apple receives the first performance record of iPhone18 I choose No, the basic logic of judgment is not due to poor financial reports; on the contrary, this financial report data is very strong.
