AI revenue is skyrocketing, but Wall Street wants to cut the valuation by 500 billion?
Anthropic, the company behind Claude, might be undergoing a significant test of the AI bubble.
According to the WSJ report on 11/5, Anthropic's annualized revenue has exceeded $80 billion, but some investors believe the IPO valuation should drop from 1.5 trillion to about 1 trillion.
I asked Claude to do the math:
📈 1.5 trillion valuation = 18.8 times annualized revenue
📉 1 trillion valuation = 12.5 times annualized revenue
Revenue hasn't dropped, but the valuation multiple Wall Street is willing to offer could shrink by one-third.
⚠️ Note: The $80 billion revenue and 1 trillion valuation both come from anonymous sources and have not been officially confirmed.
Next, watch these two dates:
Week of 11/9: Can the IPO roadshow start?
Week of 11/16: Will the listing happen as scheduled, and will the valuation concede?
This is not just an AI story; it's also worth paying attention to the risk sentiment of US tech stocks and BTC.
Starting next week, I will publicly predict probabilities with Claude, record judgments, and reconcile results upon expiration. Getting predictions right isn't the skill; daring to share when wrong is. 😂
Do you think the 1.5 trillion valuation can hold?
A. Yes, AI faith remains
B. Uncertain, 1 trillion is more reasonable
C. Directly postpone
#AnthropicIPO估值预期降至1.5万亿 I just finished reviewing this round of long and short data; the market's severity far exceeds expectations.
First, looking at $ETH, the bulls suffered heavy losses. Over 120 million positions were breached in just 4 hours, with a chain-wide cascade liquidation exceeding 780 million. Spot ETFs have seen net outflows for consecutive days, and whale selling pressure continues. On-chain stablecoin reserves are shrinking, yet leverage ratios are rising against the trend, with funds quietly migrating to the low-fee network of Tron, whose USDT market cap has hit a new high.
Regarding $BTC, the price retraced to the 75,000 level, and a related media entity reduced its holdings by over 4,000 coins, a move worth watching. The macro environment is also under pressure, with tech stocks being sold off and the semiconductor index experiencing its largest single-day drop in years.
$SOL is also troubling; a certain lending protocol in its ecosystem suddenly halted, and DEX weekly trading volume plummeted. The core founder is embroiled in public controversy, and a well-known whale has placed high-leverage short positions, pushing market sentiment to freezing point.
From a mid-term perspective, BTC, ETH, and SOL all face deep short-term corrections with high volatility. At this time, avoid blindly bottom-fishing or catching falling knives; save your bullets and wait for confirmed signals.

Algorand’s technological proposition emphasizes efficient transaction processing, security, and accessibility. These characteristics can support applications involving payments, financial infrastructure, and tokenized assets. Yet the blockchain industry has no shortage of technically capable competitors. Algorand’s future standing will depend less on theoretical performance and more on measurable ecosystem adoption and sustained real-world usage.$BTC price has returned above 76000, but I wouldn't call crossing the integer level a direct trend reversal. Personal market observation: after a sharp drop, the first phase of recovery requires caution against mistaking a price bounce for an early trend reversal.
Kraken's public quote is around 76134 USD, with the UTC daily high and low approximately 76301 and 75200 respectively. It's true that the price is near the day's upper boundary, but this data doesn't tell me whether the pullback can hold, nor does it alone prove sustained spot buying.
DB's update still emphasizes that the low-cycle downtrend structure hasn't been broken and requires a local trigger signal, rather than entering just because the price hits a certain area. His analysis of moving averages and stablecoin dominance hasn't been independently verified; I only borrow the "trigger first" approach and don't present indicator conclusions as public facts.
I will wait for the hourly close to break above the day's upper boundary and then observe the pullback support before raising my evaluation of the recovery; if it falls back into the range, the breakout confirmation is revoked, and if the lower boundary is breached and the rebound fails to recover, the recovery plan is also canceled. My judgment is that confirmation is more important than rushing the first phase. Do you value the upper boundary close more, or the continuation of buying during the pullback? For discussion only, not investment advice.#How far is Oklo nuclear power deployment from commercialization? After reading, I noted three things. As someone who keeps lists, I'll first clarify the numerical scope; otherwise, seeing "losses exceeding $2 billion" easily leads to imagining the market has already bottomed out.
1. Analyst Darkfost stated that Bitcoin has realized daily losses of about $657 million to $703 million over the past 3 days, totaling over $2 billion; the net realized profit and loss over the past week is negative $191 million. My judgment is that this is bearish for short-term sentiment but not yet evidence of selling pressure being fully cleared.
2. What I care most about is that "realized losses" and "net realized profit and loss" should not be mixed: the former looks at the scale of loss realization, while the latter also includes realized gains, and the statistical periods differ. Directly comparing these two numbers to judge the strength of selling can confuse oneself; large losses alone do not prove that no one continues to sell afterward.
3. After $BTC fell below $80,000 again, the loss trend clearly accelerated, indicating this psychological threshold indeed affects sentiment, but the current loss scale has not yet reached the level of early August. My speculation is that if loss realization continues to expand, short-term sentiment may be harder to recover, and it cannot be assumed to be near the end just because it is "close to historical pressure levels."
I will note this as "pressure remains, the finale is unclear"; what would you add as a fourth point: to judge whether selling pressure is easing, would you look at trading volume or other indicators?Main text: No need to repeat yesterday's line: The AI trading chain was split in the middle, the semiconductor index dropped more than 12% in a single day, marking the worst day since March 2020, and S&P component stocks lost about three trillion in market value in one day; the trading desk phones were flooded with calls, but few were willing to take over positions. Crypto had nothing to do with it but was dragged down along the way—199,000 people were liquidated within 24 hours, with $1.03 billion in forced liquidations, 90% of which were long positions. I've seen scenes like this for many years. This wave is not a liquidity crisis but a repricing: the midterm election results have made building data centers in the U.S. more difficult, with grassroots opposition growing in major data center states like Texas and Georgia, and several giants have begun re-evaluating third-party projects. Releasing this kind of message at this timing is not to control the market but to control the votes. Once the valuation anchor of computing power assets shifts, hedge funds are the first to run, not retail investors. For comparison: in March 2020 and November 2022, the first rebounds after those shocks were short-covering; the real market came later. What makes this time different from those two is—there is no credit event: no platform failed to pay out, no chain was halted, it was purely leverage washing out leverage itself. Open interest dropped by $2 billion in one day, and 90% of the forced liquidation list were long positions. The pit created by cleaning out leverage is completely different in nature from the pit caused by bad news. Fees are now close to zero, meaning no one is paying for direction anymore; the spot channel has seen a net outflow of $1.16 billion over three consecutive trading days, up to Having seen through the underlying logic of the crypto world, I found that the biggest difference between Bitcoin and Dogecoin is actually "self-interest" versus "altruism."
Bitcoin is extremely self-interested. Through deflation and an extremely scarce design, it has built an exclusive financial fortress, trying to keep all newcomers out, allowing early holders to sit high and enjoy the benefits.
Dogecoin, on the other hand, is altruistic. It has a fixed annual issuance, always reserving opportunities for newcomers to enter. Even more impressive is its community culture—there is no condescending hierarchy, only "daily acts of kindness, doing good is the way." This community consistently focuses on charity, tipping, and helping the weak.
The end of finance is philosophy. Extreme self-interest will ultimately lead to closure and destruction due to liquidity exhaustion; altruism, being inclusive and open, thrives endlessly. This is why I am committed to Dogecoin spot trading, adhering to the first principle of daily acts of kindness.
📍 Brothers, go to the 【Pinned Post】 to chat. The top 20 every day will be airdropped 1 $DOGE directly by the Dog King! 🐶Washington is at it again. The Democratic Party is preparing to use congressional oversight powers to target Apple, Meta Platforms, and companies under Elon Musk for investigation, covering the Trump family's business dealings, government officials, and large corporations. Another line is more specific: Amazon, Apple, Comcast, Meta, Microsoft, and Nvidia have received inquiry letters asking about donations to Trump's banquet hall.
Putting these two matters together, the focus is not on the amount but on the list. On one side are the named investigation targets; on the other are the donors asked to provide materials, covering social platforms, hardware, cloud, chips, all the way to media. The inquiry letters themselves do not generate fines, but they change corporate expectations: compliance costs rise, legal and lobbying budgets are front-loaded, and executives become more cautious in their statements.
For the market, this is not a crypto news story but a risk appetite story. Tech stocks are the anchor of US stock risk assets, and $BTC and $ETH have maintained a high correlation with the Nasdaq in recent years. When regulatory attention shifts from exchanges to tech giants, short-term sentiment tends to be defensive, and high-beta assets like $SOL usually fall faster than $BTC.
In terms of judgment, I tend to treat this as an emotional disturbance, not a trend turning point. The real variables are whether there will be formal subpoenas later and whether companies will be required to disclose donation details publicly; only then will it become a priceable event.
One point worth considering: if the investigation ultimately focuses on political-business relations, the regulatory clarity the crypto industry has most wanted over the past two years may be delayed again. Policy scheduling is slower than price.$IWM
Employment is stable, so why might small-cap stocks not benefit immediately?
The non-farm payrolls will be announced tonight, and domestic demand expectations may adjust accordingly. Small businesses are affected by demand and are also more vulnerable to borrowing costs and refinancing conditions. If growth improves alongside rising interest rates, gains may be offset by financing pressures.
I am focusing on credit spreads and earnings revisions. If financing conditions improve and earnings expectations remain stable, the small-cap thesis strengthens; if debt pressure continues to increase, a single positive employment report is not enough to support it.Why can the price still drop even when there are a large number of buy orders on the order book?
In cryptocurrency trading, many people observe the order book, trying to judge market direction through buy and sell orders. When a large number of buy orders appear on the screen, some traders believe that there is strong support below and that the price should not easily fall.
But reality is often not that simple. A large number of buy orders does not necessarily mean the price will rise; a large number of sell orders does not necessarily mean the price will fall.
First, orders on the book do not equal actual trades.
The order book shows currently visible limit orders, not completed transactions. Orders can be canceled or modified at any time. Therefore, a large buy order only indicates that a corresponding buy order exists at a certain moment, and does not directly prove there is sustained real buying pressure in the market.
Second, buy orders may be consumed by aggressive sell orders.
If sellers continuously use aggressive sell orders to execute trades, the buy orders on the order book may be constantly consumed. Even if the buy side looks thick, as long as selling pressure continuously exceeds the buyers' capacity to absorb it, the price can still fall.
Third, it is necessary to distinguish between order book depth and actual trading volume.
Order book depth reflects currently visible liquidity, while trading volume reflects completed transactions. Observing both together provides a better understanding of market supply and demand changes. Looking at only one side of the order book can easily lead to a one-sided conclusion.
Fourth, observing whether buying pressure is sustained is more important than just looking at the quantity. Oil prices rose slightly last night, but that increase is really insignificant compared to the US stock market. The worst hit by AI were storage and $SOXL, with the entire semiconductor sector being suppressed. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index had its largest single-day drop since March 2020. Microsoft and Apple, on the other hand, barely moved and held up.
The crypto market couldn't escape either, dropping across the board with almost no exceptions.
My original judgment was that leveraged funds were selling gold to cover margin calls, but after these past few days, that's not the case. Money is flowing into gold, so the liquidity squeeze explanation doesn't hold up; it looks more like someone is rotating positions. I've changed my view on this.
The sectors that needed to fall have mostly done so. Short-term sentiment is clearly overdone, with pessimism that seems somewhat unreasonable. Next, we wait for a recovery; if the recovery doesn't keep pace, then prepare for consolidation within the range. #比特币承压，ETF近7日净流出约11亿美元 The recent BTC weakness is largely driven by continuous redemptions from spot ETFs, with a net outflow of about $1.1 billion over the past seven days, indicating that the previously most significant institutional incremental buying is retreating. On one hand, this is due to macroeconomic expectation disturbances, as the market re-prices the Federal Reserve's interest rate path and U.S. Treasury real yields rise, suppressing valuations of high-risk crypto assets; on the other hand, after the U.S. midterm elections, market expectations for crypto-friendly policies have cooled, leading funds to proactively reduce exposure.
The capital outflow and coin price form a negative feedback loop: weakening prices trigger more redemptions, which further drag down the market, compounded by concentrated on-exchange leverage liquidations that amplify volatility. However, it is important to distinguish that this is a short-term institutional portfolio adjustment, not a wholesale bearish stance; long-term corporate treasury accumulation is only slowing down, not engaging in large-scale sell-offs.
Key points to watch going forward: whether outflows continue and if there are signs of stabilization and inflows; also pay attention to U.S. Treasury yields and regulatory news. Only a sustained net inflow into ETFs will restore market confidence. $BTC $ETH $SOL #زيادة كبيرة في موديولات الألياف البصرية عالية السرعة AAOI، هل يمكن لتقرير الربع الثالث أن يتجاوز التوقعات؟ Does a project renouncing admin rights necessarily mean it's safer?
Not necessarily.
Ownership Renounced usually only indicates that specific ownership privileges have been relinquished; it does not automatically prove that other control rights within the contract have disappeared.
You still need to check:
* Upgrade permissions: Can the contract still change its implementation logic?
* Pause permissions: Are there other roles that can pause transactions?
* Minting and blacklist: Are there other critical management functions?
* Proxy structure: Is there still an independent admin or admin contract?
* Permission records: Does the on-chain state prove that the relevant permissions have indeed been revoked?
Renouncing permissions can reduce some risks but may also affect the project's ability to fix vulnerabilities. Don't just look at the "Ownership Renounced" label; confirm what has been renounced, what remains, and who can still control the contract. $SPY
Looking at the total nonfarm payrolls, is it enough to explain the S&P index's reaction?
Tonight's employment report also includes unemployment rate, wages, and historical revisions. New job additions exceeding expectations may indicate growth resilience but could also raise tightening expectations. The market needs to price in the impacts of both growth and inflation.
If wages are moderate, employment is maintained, and more industries see job increases, the environment is more balanced; if the index is driven only by a few heavyweight stocks, I would lower my judgment on a broad recovery in risk appetite.🚨 FIL is finally showing some difference! 10TB added in 9 days!
This time it's not just hype, but product usage data worth tracking.
According to the latest circulated statistics, Filecoin Warm Storage surpassed 40TB on November 2. Previously, it took 56 days to grow from 20TB to 30TB, but only 9 days to go from 30TB to 40TB!
Simply put, the speed of added storage increased by about 6.2 times. Although 40TB is still very small for the entire cloud storage market, the change in growth pace is worth noting.
More importantly, Warm Storage is not traditional cold storage that only handles long-term archiving. It verifies data possession through PDP, combines with Filecoin Pay for on-chain billing, and also provides more convenient data access.
However, it is necessary to distinguish between storage volume growth and commercial revenue growth. I have not yet independently verified this November 2 capacity figure from official dashboards. Even if the data is accurate, continued tracking of independent paying customers, actual settlement revenue, and renewal retention is needed.
For FIL, the real long-term benefit is not just adding 10TB one day, but that customers are willing to keep paying for this data.
What I look forward to most is how many days the next 40TB will take and whether revenue can grow in sync.
Do you think this is an early signal of a commercialization turning point, or just a short-term acceleration due to a small base?
#FIL #Filecoin Not investment advice🍵 Needs to be shaken slowly, the scene must be built gradually
Yesterday, the US stock market experienced an epic plunge, triggering a chain of panic! The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index suffered its worst single-day drop since March 2020. The reason for this sell-off lies in Washington:
Funds are preemptively trading on AI regulatory expectations, with the Democratic Party taking control of both chambers, signaling a clear tightening of policies. But I judge that the US will not outright ban AI, nor will it voluntarily give up its global AI leadership.
However, the panic still caused a major shakeup in the entire US stock market:
Institutions are entering the market.
Previously, seeing ETFs made people feel secure, thinking Wall Street's presence would stabilize the market. Now it’s clear they have both entry and exit channels.
On November 5, BTC spot ETFs saw net outflows of about $430 million, and ETH ETFs also outflowed about $99.9 million, totaling approximately $530 million withdrawn from both. The day before, funds had just flowed back in, but the next day they started flowing out again.
#美股遭大幅抛售：费城半导体指数创2020年3月以来最大单日跌幅
#非农今晚揭晓，美股大跌后市场如何押注12月加息？ The most confusing thing isn't the crypto market dropping, it's the crypto market dropping along with Nvidia.
On Thursday, chip stocks plummeted, but the next day before the market opened, they bounced back: Nvidia up 4.2%, AMD up 7.2%, Broadcom up 5.2%. I stared at the screen for a long time thinking: I bought $ETH, not graphics cards, so why did it turn red then green overnight, following their mood?
Later I understood and accepted it: now the rise and fall depends on the same switch—whether people dare to take risks. When the switch flips back, $BTC and $SOL move along with it. When the switch will turn off, who knows.$LINK: Swift and DTCC enter the scene, Link's commercial footprint is expanding, how to build a position?
LINK has already formed a product matrix: Data Feeds provide price data, CCIP handles cross-chain interoperability, Proof of Reserve verifies asset reserves, and CRE offers on-chain financial infrastructure for institutions.
1. The business footprint is expanding
Link's revenue sources are extending from a single oracle service to data services, cross-chain communication, proof of reserves, and institutional-grade infrastructure. RWA, stablecoins, and traditional assets going on-chain may continuously increase its service demand.
2. LINK's value capture
Link converts part of its service revenue into LINK through Payment Abstraction and deposits it into the Chainlink Reserve; Staking provides network security and staking demand for LINK.
My position-building strategy: RWA is steadily expanding, and LINK is becoming a mainstream infrastructure provider. This is the current stage it is in, corresponding to LINK oscillating in the 10-20 range.
If there is a severe sell-off below 8, I will first buy some spot.
Conservatively calculated, the odds in the 7-8 range are about 3:1, and the odds in the 5-6 range are 5:1. #摩根士丹利接入DTCC，证券代币化拓展机构应用 【Micron up 8%, SanDisk up 10%, AI stocks rebound from crash to hot picks in one day】
The day before, Micron $MU fell more than 17%, SanDisk $SNDK dropped over 22%, but this morning they rebounded by 8.3% and over 10% respectively, with IREN soaring even more. Nasdaq futures rose nearly 1.5%, clearly stronger than S&P futures, while Dow futures still declined, indicating this round of recovery is mainly concentrated in the tech and AI industry chain.
The rebound is also supported by earnings. IREN's latest quarterly AI cloud revenue reached $200 million, a 182% quarter-over-quarter increase, with backlog orders hitting $20.3 billion, showing that AI computing demand has not suddenly disappeared. Yesterday, the concern was whether data center investments would slow down, but today we see customers still willing to sign long-term contracts and invest real money.
However, IREN still posted a net loss of $263 million this quarter, and the annual recurring revenue target of over $4 billion has been postponed to January or February next year. This precisely illustrates the core contradiction the market is trading on now: AI demand remains, but when the huge investments will translate into stable profits still requires time.
I think this is an oversold rebound rather than AI stocks having resumed a bull run. The pre-market gains in crypto concept stocks are noticeably smaller than those in chip and storage stocks, also indicating that funds have not fully returned to risk assets. The harder the sell-off yesterday, the stronger the rebound today; short-term it can repair sentiment, but to reestablish a trend, it still depends on whether subsequent earnings can support the valuations.
#美股遭大幅抛售：费城半导体指数创2020年3月以来最大单日跌幅 Last night, US chip stocks took a heavy hit, but they revived again in pre-market today. Nvidia rose 4.2%, AMD up 7.2%, Broadcom up 5.2%—what fell overnight was largely recovered before the market opened.
The most worth pondering about this is not the percentage increase, but the timing. In pre-market, trading is light, and both buy and sell orders are thin, so the same buy orders can push prices more dramatically. Therefore, the 4.2% figure represents expectation repair, not actual capital returning. The sellers who dumped the market on Thursday are still there, just temporarily not continuing to sell.
Mechanically, chip stocks are at the forefront of this AI narrative wave; their sentiment fluctuations first transmit to computing power, then to public chain narratives. Infrastructure-oriented assets like $ETH and $SOL are more sensitive to risk appetite than $BTC—because Bitcoin is now more regarded as a macro hedge tool rather than a growth asset. So when chip stocks rebound, the elasticity of $ETH and $SOL usually shows up earlier.
My judgment is: this is an emotional repair, not a trend reversal. The real confirmation depends on two things: whether the pre-market gains hold until the close, and whether trading volume picks up. A rebound on low volume is the easiest to deceive.
One point worth thinking about: why does the crypto market always tremble whenever chip stocks plunge? Because both sides now share the same marginal funds and the same risk appetite switch. Flipping the switch back doesn’t mean the light is on.Why is the transaction price displayed by the exchange not necessarily the price you ultimately get?
In cryptocurrency trading, you might see Bitcoin's quote fluctuating around a certain price, but after clicking buy, you find the actual average transaction price is higher than expected. The same goes for selling; the price shown on the screen looks good, but the final amount credited is less than you imagined.
This does not necessarily mean there is a problem with the exchange. The latest transaction price, bid and ask quotes you see, and your actual transaction price can naturally differ.
First, the latest transaction price is not the price you can transact at. The latest transaction price represents the price of the most recent market trade, not a uniform price at which all buy or sell orders can be executed. Buying usually refers to the seller's quote, and selling refers to the buyer's quote; the difference between the two is the bid-ask spread.
Second, order size affects the average transaction price. If the best quote quantity on the order book is insufficient to fulfill your order, the order may continue to be executed at worse price levels. The larger the order and the lower the market liquidity, the more pronounced this effect may be.
Third, slippage changes the final result. The difference between your expected price and the actual transaction price may come from rapid market fluctuations, insufficient liquidity, or the order execution method. Especially during volatile market conditions, even if the quote looks clear before placing the order, it does not guarantee the transaction price will remain unchanged.
Fourth, fees also affect net returns. The transaction price is only part of the calculation.#非农今晚揭晓，美股大跌后市场如何押注12月加息？ Tonight's nonfarm payrolls are out, don't guess the numbers, first look at the expectation gap.
Before the 21:30 nonfarm release, the market has already set the script: new job additions expected at 65,000, unemployment rate at 4.2%, month-on-month wage growth expected at 0.3%; but ADP gave 86,000 first, higher than the expected 69,000. Employment is not weak, so interest rate pressure won't ease easily.
My view is bearish. If below 50,000, rate cut expectations heat up, and BTC will have a decent rebound; between 60,000 and 70,000, likely to continue grinding at low levels; if over 80,000 and wages don't cool down, the dollar and yields will rise again, BTC will first look at the previous low of 75,143, and ETH will also weaken.
After the data lands, I only trust the dollar, yields, and 1-hour candlestick confirmation moving in the same direction. 82,000 is too far from the current price, can't use a distant target to replace tonight's stop loss.
What do you think, will it first sweep 75,000 tonight, or rebound first? $XRP is all over the Square talking about bottom fishing, review: 1.28 support has been broken, looking down to 1.18; long position 25x, open at 1.20 stop loss at 1.17 T1 1.32 T2 1.47; $XRP, don't get emotional with the trend; actual increase 0.0%, 25x leverage magnifies about 0.0 times; longs fear the spike followed by a dump, 25x tolerance only 4.0%, reverse volatility is fatal; main position locks in profit, bottom position stop loss welded at open price, remaining positions float as free chips following the trend, no fighting, no chasing #币圈 #XRPAfter this major correction in the US stock market, I personally realized that you always need to keep enough ammunition on hand.

1. The real logic behind the market rising first and then falling
• At first, everyone thought the US and Iran wouldn't fight, money was coming (the Fed cutting rates even to zero), oil prices dropped from 110 to 94, inflation pressure eased, so stocks and gold rose together.
• Then it was realized: although the Democrats won both chambers, they won't take office until January 3 next year. Trump still controls Congress for nearly two months, the nuclear issue (Iran's enriched uranium exceeding 60%) is a red line for the US, Israel, and Sunni countries, with bipartisan consensus and almost no room for concession. The US-Iran conflict is only paused, while the Russia-Ukraine conflict will intensify (Democrats support Ukraine more, Putin has no way out).
• So the current rebound is just a premature harvest of the "war ending + rate cuts" expectation.
2. The real reason for the tech stock crash
It's not that the Democrats want to suppress AI, but that tech giants have run out of money in their accounts.
• They spent huge amounts building data centers (because computing power is extremely scarce and selling computing power is very profitable), revenue growth is decent, but free cash flow has turned negative:
• Google -9.1 billion (negative for two consecutive quarters)
• Amazon -42.4 billion
• Meta -2.1 billion
• Intel is also about to turn negative
• Previously they built with their own money, now the money is gone, relying entirely on debt. The money earned from selling computing power is far from enough to cover expenses.
• Downstream large model companies (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) have been losing money. If they still can't make money by the end of this year or early next year, and the giants continue negative cash flow, the real big crash will begin!The market continues to decline, and many people are feeling the pain, but there is one signal worth noting: an early ICO whale is bottom-fishing!
This OG acquired 1 million ETH during the ICO phase back in 2015. In the past 8 hours, he has added 2,221 ETH on-chain at an average cost of 2,248 USD, totaling about 4.99 million USD.
Including this position, he now holds over 122,000 ETH, with a total market value exceeding 272 million USD.
$ETH #非农今晚揭晓，美股大跌后市场如何押注12月加息？ Where exactly is the authority to pause trading hidden?
Whether a token can be paused, frozen, or have transfers restricted cannot be judged solely by the project's claims.
When reviewing the contract, focus on:
* Pause authority: Who can pause trading?
* Freeze mechanism: Is it possible to restrict transfers from specific addresses?
* Blacklist: Who can add or remove restricted addresses?
* Trading restrictions: Who can modify transfer limits or trading rules?
* Permission constraints: Are multisig, timelocks, or other approvals required?
Even if related functions are found, you must continue to track who has the right to call them and what operations they actually affect.
Conversely, not finding obvious pause functions does not mean the contract is absolutely safe.
Don’t just look at what functions the code has; pay more attention to who controls these functions and whether the permissions are constrained. Preparing to eat dinner in the evening, I casually checked the market: BTC is still struggling around 76000, ETH has dropped over 7%, and HYPE is also plunging! Looking at the 24-hour liquidation heatmap, longs have almost become the hardest hit. When will this decline finally end?
First, $BTC: $76,089, down 5.37%
The Nasdaq plunged 5.52% overnight, AI tech stocks were heavily sold off, and risk appetite clearly cooled. The liquidation heatmap shows BTC liquidations of $335 million in the past 24 hours, with longs accounting for 89.5%! In the short term, watch the 75000 support; if broken, it may test 73000, with a rebound first targeting 78000.
Next, $ETH: $2237, down 7.47%
ETH’s decline exceeds BTC’s, with high-leverage longs under more pressure. 24-hour liquidations total $214 million, with longs making up 84.8%, indicating previous bullish positions were heavily cleared. Short-term support is at 2200; only a firm hold above 2300 offers a chance for recovery.
Finally, $HYPE: $77.84, down 6.87%
HYPE is also facing selling pressure, with about $22.2 million liquidated in 24 hours. Recent token releases by the team have drawn attention. Short-term support is at 76; if broken, look for 72, with a rebound first aiming at 82.
A few final words:
Concentrated long liquidations do not mean the decline is over! With US stocks under pressure and leverage clearing out, what’s needed now is to wait for funds to stabilize.
#非农今晚揭晓，美股大跌后市场如何押注12月加息？ SpaceX has chosen Qualcomm's Dragonwing platform to build a ground 5G network for Starlink Mobile in the United States. The plan announced is to start deployment in 2027, with tens of thousands of sites to be laid out over several years. When seeing Starlink, it's easy to first think of satellites, but this cooperation is actually about the equipment and software needed for ground base stations.
What I like about this news is a very practical point: having signal in remote areas and being able to stream videos smoothly with a crowd in the city both test two different capabilities. The ground network supplements capacity. For SpaceX, after buying the equipment, they still need to build the sites, connect them to the network, and get enough people willing to use it. For Qualcomm, years of cooperation provide new business opportunities, and revenue will still be realized gradually following the deployment pace.
So I will first look at which regions are opened in the initial batch, and what speed and capacity can be provided after launch. A nationwide network plan is very attractive, but for users, whether they can connect stably near home and on their commute is more important than how large the coverage map is drawn. By 2027, the performance of the first batch of sites going live will explain the value of this cooperation more than today's discussions about future 6G.
#SpaceX携手高通建设美国5G网络 [Nikkei Falls into Bear Market, South Korea Triggers Circuit Breaker 11 Times: The AI Bubble Begins to Impact Asia]
After the collapse of US tech stocks, Asian markets took another heavy hit. On November 6, the Nikkei 225 index closed down 5.96% at 57,434.77 points, retreating more than 20% from its June peak, officially entering a technical bear market; South Korea's KOSPI closed down 6.02%, briefly falling below 5000 points during the session, triggering a 20-minute circuit breaker.
South Korea's SK Hynix $SKHY fell 10.4%, Samsung Electronics dropped 6.4%, and Japan's semiconductor equipment and AI-related stocks were also collectively sold off. Taiwan's stock market had already been declining continuously, with tech heavyweights like TSMC also under pressure. Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan happen to be core regions of the global AI hardware supply chain. Once the US market starts doubting the return on investment in data centers, these Asian companies relying on chip orders and AI capital will be the first to be revalued.
The South Korean government held an emergency meeting and relaxed some financing regulations, which did narrow the decline somewhat, but foreign investors still net sold about 2.77 trillion won that day, indicating that selling pressure has not easily dissipated.
This round of decline is not just an emotional shock from elections but a market reassessment of AI infrastructure investment returns. As long as US tech stocks continue to cut valuations, the Asian chip market will find it hard to remain unaffected. Long-term AI demand may not disappear, but the previously overinflated expectations driven by capital are undergoing a harsh test.
#韩股KOSPI暴跌触发熔断，半导体集体重挫 $1 billion worth of leveraged positions were liquidated overnight, with 88% being long positions.
U.S. stocks suddenly plunged Thursday night, with the Nasdaq closing down 5.5% and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index dropping nearly 12%. Bitcoin followed, falling from around 80,000 to 75,600, and Ethereum dropped more than 7% to about 2,230. The gains from the previous day’s rally were basically wiped out. (Source: The Block, CoinGlass)
My view: This time, the problem isn’t within the crypto space itself; it’s the panic in AI stocks dragging down all risk assets together. In the short term, Bitcoin behaves more like a highly leveraged version of the Nasdaq. When U.S. stocks are unstable, it’s hard for Bitcoin to strengthen independently.
I’m watching the two levels Wintermute mentioned: 73,000 and 68,000. To turn bullish again, Bitcoin needs to hold above 80,000.
The biggest mistake ordinary people make at times like this is rushing to bottom-fish with leverage. Those liquidated over the past few days have mostly been long chasers. Surviving first is more important than chasing those few points. #BTC持续震荡，后续走势受多重因素影响 On November 6, U.S. President Trump posted two contradictory statements on Truth Social amid the sharp fluctuations in the U.S. stock market following the midterm elections. At noon local time on November 4, he said the stock market hit a new historical high, with 91 trading days setting records in a short period, and wrote, "Your 401(k) is skyrocketing, all records." About a day later, on the evening of November 5, during a major drop with the Dow down about 3.44%, the S&P 500 down about 4.36%, and the Nasdaq down about 5.52%, he posted again saying, "The stock market experienced one of the worst trading days in history due to the election results," "Your 401(k) has shrunk because of this," and emphasized, "It's not the Republicans, it's the dumb Democrats (Dumocrats)," while also saying not to panic and that it will "somehow become stronger than ever before." Later that evening, he posted another message saying, "The stock market crashed today because the Democrats won big on Tuesday... You only have yourselves to blame."$BTC faced heavy selling, with $72K becoming a key liquidity zone. I entered at $72,000, set my stop-loss at $71,800, got stopped out, and watched BTC rebound to $72,200.
Lesson: Round-number levels attract liquidity, and tight stop-losses can get swept before a bounce.
BTC ETF outflows have also reached around $1.1B over the past 7 days. Stay cautious. 📉
#Bitcoin #BTC #Crypto#ChipStocksFallOver12% Why does trading more frequently potentially cause your account to shrink faster?
In the cryptocurrency market, many traders watch the K-line charts daily, afraid of missing any rise or fall. Whenever the price fluctuates, they want to enter the market; after making a small profit, they immediately look for the next opportunity; after a loss, they rush to trade again.
It seems diligent, but the account may unknowingly shrink.
The issue is: increasing the number of trades does not necessarily increase profit opportunities.
First, trading costs accumulate continuously. Each buy and sell may incur fees, and the actual transaction price may be affected by slippage. The higher the trading frequency, the more significant the impact of costs on final returns. Even if each cost seems small, over time it can erode profits.
Second, frequent trading tends to lower entry standards. When the market lacks clear opportunities, patiently waiting is often more reasonable. But some traders, to maintain trading frequency, treat ordinary fluctuations as trading signals, gradually shifting from planned trading to chasing prices.
Third, emotions tend to form cycles. After profits, traders want to expand gains; after losses, they want to recover quickly. Both mindsets can cause traders to ignore original rules and make decisions without sufficient basis.
Fourth, frequent operations increase decision-making burden. Each trade requires assessing market conditions, risks, and exit timing. The more trades, without stable rules and review mechanisms, the more likely execution deviations occur. Long position at 72,000, caught someone else's stop-loss order
$BTC has dropped sharply these past two days, and many are watching the 72,000 level.
What is this price level: a round number threshold, the place with the densest order book.
Market makers are just waiting for these orders to be filled.
What I actually did: placed a buy order at 72,000, and immediately after it was filled, placed a stop-loss at 71,800.
The stop-loss was triggered, and the price bounced back to 72,200.
The lesson here: orders at round number thresholds are calculated by others to be taken.
Those who placed stop-loss orders in that range have already been stopped out.
#比特币承压，ETF近7日净流出约11亿美元 $BTC There is a rather ironic phenomenon in the crypto world.
Some people watch the market for 12 hours every day, study candlesticks, chase hot topics, and look for 100x coins, but their accounts end up getting smaller and smaller.
Some people bought BTC years ago, forgot their passwords, and ended up making a fortune years later 😂
I increasingly feel that the hardest thing in the crypto world is not finding a good coin.
It's resisting the urge to make random moves after buying.
Of course, holding onto junk coins and holding onto BTC are completely different matters.
Suddenly curious:
If you could only choose one, which would you pick?
A. Trade every day, aiming to multiply by 10 in a year
B. Buy BTC and not touch it for five years
$BTC $ETH $SOL
I choose B first, at least I can sleep well at night.
#BTC #Crypto #加密货币IREN's latest announcement of its fiscal year 2027 Q1 results sends an important signal: the company is accelerating its shift from a Bitcoin mining enterprise to an AI cloud computing and data center infrastructure service provider. 📊 Key financial data (as of September 30, 2026): • Total revenue: $228 million, up 66% quarter-over-quarter • AI cloud business revenue: $200 million, soaring 182% quarter-over-quarter • Bitcoin mining revenue: $28 million, down from $67 million last quarter • Net loss: $263 million • Adjusted EBITDA: $66 million, compared to only $19 million last quarter Notably, the AI cloud business now contributes about 88% of total revenue, becoming IREN's core growth engine. 🔥 AI transformation drives growth, but profitability quality remains to be seen The AI cloud business maintains a gross margin of 86%, which is quite impressive. However, this metric does not yet account for depreciation and amortization, nor does it cover all site costs, so it cannot be directly equated with the company's overall profitability. IREN is gradually shifting its power resources and data center capacity from Bitcoin mining to AI cloud services. The company plans to basically complete the transition by the end of 2026, with a small amount of mining business expected to continue into 2027. Microsoft's collaboration becomes a key catalyst for the next phase The Microsoft Horizon 1 project has already been put into operation$BTC $ETH This time, the US stock market is experiencing a large-scale capital sell-off not seen since 2020. On the surface, it's an index decline, but at its core, institutions are repricing interest rate cut expectations. In a high-yield environment for long-term bonds, the valuation logic for high-valued assets is being continuously adjusted.
The capital is not sold off all at once and then finished; the sell-off follows two paths: one is a concentrated clearing leading to exhaustion of selling pressure and then capital replenishment; the other is a continued weakening of expectations, with selling pressure extending outward. As a risk asset, the crypto market will passively absorb this sentiment transmission.
The market trend depends on subsequent verification from US Treasury and employment data. A wave of selling does not directly equate to a sustained one-sided decline.
#美股遭大幅抛售：费城半导体指数创2020年3月以来最大单日跌幅 $QQQ
Why might QQQ also decline when employment data weakens?
Tonight's nonfarm payroll report will provide new clues on growth and wages. Lower interest rates benefit the discounting of future earnings, but if the market simultaneously lowers revenue expectations for tech companies, valuation improvements may be offset by earnings declines.
I will compare yields, leading company guidance, and market breadth. Only if interest rate pressure eases and earnings expectations remain stable will the recovery be more solid; if both reflect recession concerns, low interest rates are not necessarily a sufficient positive factor.Crypto Market Brief (November 6, 2026)
#US stocks suffer heavy sell-off: Philadelphia Semiconductor Index posts largest single-day drop since March 2020
Yesterday's broad gains were wiped out overnight, with market sentiment quickly shifting from "rebound" back to "fear."
BTC is currently around $75,700, down about 5.9% in 24 hours, with an intraday high near $80,785 and a low around $75,200; ETH is about $2,226–2,230, down approximately 7.9%–8%.
Major coins mostly down: SOL around $89.4 (-6.7%), XRP about $1.20 (-8.2%), BNB near $691 (-3.2%), DOGE approximately $0.0715 (-6.4%), LINK roughly $10.74 (-6.8%).
Driving factors: US tech stocks plunged (Nasdaq down 5.5%, semiconductor sector down over 12%), AI regulatory concerns and high interest rate pressures transmitted to the crypto market; leveraged long positions faced concentrated liquidations, with over $1.2 billion liquidated in 24 hours involving about 240,000 people.
Technical outlook: BTC lost the $80,000 level, with $75,000–$75,600 as key support zone; if broken, it may test $73,000; ETH fell below $2,300, with $2,200 area needing observation for stabilization.
Sentiment index: Fear and Greed Index dropped to 28 (Fear).Does the number of token holders indicate its safety?
You can't judge by quantity alone.
Even if two tokens have the same number of holders, their actual token distribution can be completely different.
When assessing risk, it's more important to focus on:
* Concentration of holdings: How many tokens do the top ten addresses hold?
* Nature of addresses: Are large addresses exchanges, project treasuries, or other holders?
* Future supply: Are there large unlocks or minting rights?
* Real activity: Does holder growth accompany sustained actual usage?
* Other risks: Are contract permissions, liquidity, and external dependencies reliable?
Also remember, one wallet doesn't necessarily represent one person, and one person may control multiple addresses.
Don't just count wallets; understand the control and supply changes behind token distribution. The most fragile part of a "safe ticket" has never been the 10% buffer, but the protective desire that suddenly drops to zero after falling below 14.5%. Have you ever thought about who you are actually betting against when you talk about capital protection? I've been watching the rules of OKX's dual-currency win safe ticket for a long time, and the more I look, the more it feels like an almond wrapped in a sugar coating—the sweet part is very small, and the bitter part is hidden at the end. On the surface, there's a bottom line within 5000 USDT and a maximum 10% drop, with a maximum compensation of 500 U, which sounds quite stable; but the real watershed is the line about 14.5% below the target price of 72,500. Once the settlement price falls below 65,250, the protection immediately fails, and all subsequent losses are borne by yourself. For example, if it closes at 60,000, the actual loss is about 862 U, a figure that is more eye-catching than many people imagine before placing an order. From another perspective, its essence is selling a put option with limited protection: the profit side is squeezed very thin, about 5 to 6 U in two days and five hours; but the risk side is open, just temporarily covered by one ticket. When the market is lively, people tend to misread "protected" as "risk-free," but what is really being traded is volatility expectation—if BTC only fluctuates mildly during these two days, this ticket is indeed comfortable; but once a sharp drop occurs, the protection disappears faster than the price decline. Looking at the capital preference layer, what I care more about is: this type of product often attracts conservative money that wants coupon income; they won't chase altcoins or leverage, but will concentrate on "looking safe" when sentiment weakens Does a contract being audited mean it is absolutely safe? Not necessarily.
An audit report only indicates that: the code within a specific scope was subjected to a security review at a specific time.
It cannot automatically rule out all risks.
To assess a project's security, you also need to consider:
* Audit scope: Which code and versions were reviewed?
* Business logic: Is the design itself reasonable?
* Administrative permissions: Who can upgrade the contract, modify parameters, or pause transactions?
* External dependencies: Are oracles, other contracts, and cross-chain facilities reliable?
* Subsequent changes: After the audit, have the code and permissions changed?
Most importantly, it’s not just about seeing a project present an audit report, but confirming whether the report corresponds to the currently deployed version and whether identified issues have been properly addressed.
An audit is one piece of security evidence, not an absolute guarantee of safety.

#Web3Security #SmartContracts #DigitalAssetSecurity **$ETH Market Update**
$ETH exploded off the 2,212 low with a massive push to 2,246, then cooled to 2,238.57. Price sits above MA5, MA10 and MA20 (2,237 / 2,232 / 2,227), and all three averages are turning up. Pattern: V-shaped recovery into a tight pause. Bias: up. A break above 2,246 opens 2,255, while a loss of 2,232 sends ETH back toward 2,227.
⚠️ $ETH risk: a rejection wick at the top, use stops. After the major drop in the US stock market, as it reopens: If semiconductors continue to weaken, will BTC follow or stabilize first?
Last night, with the US stock market's plunge, semiconductors took the hardest hit, and the Nasdaq also fell by 5.5%. BTC followed with a decline. Tonight, as the US market reopens, what I want to watch most is not whether chip stocks will immediately rebound, but whether BTC can hold its lows if they continue to be under pressure.
Right now, it’s not simple to assume "semiconductors fall, so BTC must fall." Both are influenced by risk sentiment, but the buying and selling dynamics are not exactly the same; plus, the non-farm payrolls report will be released before the US market opens tonight, so BTC might have already moved before chip stocks officially start trading.
My view is: first confirm BTC’s own price action, and use semiconductor trends as a reference.
If after the non-farm report, US Treasury yields rise; and after the US market opens, semiconductors continue to dip, and BTC also breaks below the recent 24-hour low near 75200, closing the 1-hour candle without recovering, that indicates selling pressure remains. In this case, I won’t rush to buy the rebound; I’ll wait to see if the low holds first.
Conversely, if chip stocks remain weak but BTC holds its low, then recovers near 77000 and stays stable on the pullback, it means BTC is not currently following the decline. The 77000 level is a round number to watch, not a guaranteed reversal point upon touching it.
$BTC $ETH $SNDK #交易之声：你的经验值得被听到 The hardest part isn't the drop, it's everyone selling off together.
Bitcoin fell below 80,000, with 600 to 700 million dollars of real money lost and exiting every day for the past three days, totaling over 2 billion. But the net loss for the week is only 191 million, which means another group quietly took profits at the highs.
My first reaction when I saw this was: everyone has already run, maybe it's my turn to buy? Then I realized people around me were thinking the same thing, which is a bit worrying.
When stop-losses cluster, the bottom usually isn't on the same day.This liquidation chart says it all with its colors!
The entire market is seeing longs getting hit!
$BTC liquidated $335 million, 89.5% of which were longs; $ETH liquidated $214 million, 84.8% longs; even in Other, 87.2% were longs.
Nearly $800 million in leveraged long positions were collectively liquidated throughout the day.
Last night, the tech stock crash dragged down risk appetite, causing BTC to slip from the 80,000 level.
A wave of long liquidations often signals not the start of a decline, but its end—the leverage fuel has burned out, and selling pressure naturally fades.
Next, watch two things: whether BTC at 79,770 can stop falling, and whether liquidation volume can shrink.
Don’t rush to catch a falling knife before the leverage liquidations finish! Once they’re done, the real opportunity lineup begins.
