My first reaction when I saw this message was: don't directly translate "supporters of crypto being re-elected" as "bullish for the crypto market." Newcomers reading policy news tend to focus on a familiar face but overlook whether the power they hold has changed.
According to Cointelegraph, Republican French Hill, who supports cryptocurrencies, won re-election and will continue to serve as a U.S. Congressman; however, with the Democrats taking control of the House in January, he will lose his position as Chair of the House Financial Services Committee.
📌 Here's a knowledge point based on this: personal stance does not equal agenda-driving power. Take January in the example: the same person continuing as a congressman and continuing as committee chair are two different things. The chair position involves agenda setting, and losing this role cannot be assessed simply by the word "re-election."
My judgment is that this is a somewhat negative expectation for crypto policy progress, but it does not mean a policy shift can be concluded. Supporters remain in Congress and still have a voice; the change in chairmanship means the original path for pushing agendas may need adjustment. What really matters is following the subsequent agenda, not just counting how many "crypto allies" there are.
The most common mistake newcomers make is treating a politician's election victory as a price signal, skipping the step of policy implementation. What else do you not understand: which matters more to your judgment of this news—the congressman’s re-election or retaining the chair position? Leave a comment to discuss.Is the US stock market cooling off? Why is it dropping so hard?
Last night, the US stock market gave off the vibe of a crash, with the seven giants evaporating $1.04 trillion in one day. Ironically, the day before, the Dow had just surged 1,569 points celebrating the election results. Then uncertainty shifted direction—from "who governs" to "can AI keep burning money like this?" Three reasons combined: ① The Democrats not only took both chambers but also won the governorships of Texas and Georgia; data center approval power lies locally, and UBS estimates about 30% of new capacity by 2028 may be delayed ② Alphabet’s earnings report for the first time put "can AI capital expenditure pay off" on the table, which completely ignited the market last night ③ Burry’s AI bubble theory returned to focus—he’s watching depreciation assumptions, with chips actually depreciating faster than the company assumes, making reported profits illusory. So why did BTC dive along? It’s not the main character, but it’s the most leveraged player in the whole scene. The AI narrative and computing power coins are on the same chain; when the source collapses, the downstream falls; plus, yesterday it just rebounded from 75,736 to 81,185, a 7% rise in two days, and 81,000 is a hard resistance, so profit-taking and trapped positions came out together. My judgment: the real problem isn’t politics but that the valuation logic of the AI mainline is being systemically questioned for the first time, and this crack won’t be fixed in a day. $BTC has hard resistance above 81,000; if 78,000-79,500 can’t hold, look to 75,700; breaking that is 72,000. For now, not breaking 75,000 is still a good buying point. #美中期选举后AI监管分歧引发行情波动 Don't think that tighter AI regulation is purely negative; it's actually a deadlock forcing tech giants to rush ahead crazily. 76% of voters oppose building data centers, forcing giants to rush capital expenditures planned for 2027 ahead to seize policy windows. Computing hardware will still go crazy, but for the crypto circle, this is a fatal drain of funds, as all the liquidity inside the market is being sucked away to build physical infrastructure.
Look at $BTC, the big coin, barely rising by a fraction, just playing dead. All funds are being drained to fight the AI computing power war; no one in the crypto circle cares at all. The non-farm payroll data will hit hard tonight, with heavy resistance overhead like a mountain. Hold long-term spot positions firmly, don't chase highs in the short term, and if you short for the short term, you must set a tight stop loss. Shorting is shorting—never hold on stubbornly; not setting a stop loss is just giving money to the market makers.
Look at $ETH, Ethereum, pure sludge. No matter how hot AI infrastructure gets, it has nothing to do with the Ethereum ecosystem—no narrative, no capital support. When the market softens even a bit, it falls the hardest. Don't get itchy watching it sideways and catch a falling knife; there's no bottom underneath.
Look at $XAUT, gold, this is the hardcore logic for hedging. Regulatory divergence intensifies macro capital flight to safety, plus the ongoing Middle East geopolitical issues, with central bank buying holding the floor firmly. No matter how the non-farm data hits tonight, good or bad, gold's resilience far exceeds that of the crypto circle.
In summary, AI's rush has drained market liquidity, and tonight's non-farm payroll is a meat grinder. Control your hands and don't be cannon fodder; surviving this wave of shakeout is the real hard truth. #美中期选举后AI监管分歧引发行情波动 ☀️ Uncle's Morning Report｜11.06 ▍CRYPTO｜$80,000 Lost: This Time It's Not the Shorts Being Liquidated BTC Falls Below $76,000, Morning Price at $76,276 (-5.31%), Yesterday's $80,000 level basically retraced. Over $1 billion liquidated across the network in 24 hours, mainly from long positions being liquidated. Funding Logic: This is not an isolated drop in crypto but a deleveraging across all risk assets. US stocks' AI hardware sector was sold off, risk appetite contracted, and highly leveraged crypto assets took the hit first. Yesterday's rise was driven by short covering; today's drop exposed the fragility of chasing positions. Next Focus: Whether $76,000 can hold; if lost, watch the $75,000–$73,000 range. Tonight's nonfarm payrolls will impact interest rate expectations and the liquidity environment for risk assets. ▍US Stock Overnight Review｜Up 3% Yesterday, Down 5.5% Today: Market Begins to Reassess AI Infrastructure Dow -3.44% at 51,523.06, Nasdaq -5.52% at 24,315, S&P 500 -4.36% at 7,353.73. Nasdaq 100 down 6.4%, Philadelphia Semiconductor Index down about 12.25%, marking the second-largest single-day drop in history. Nvidia -9.26%, AMD about -17%, Tesla -10.77%. Nasdaq 100-related market cap loss about $2.5 trillion, the seven giants combined lost about $1 trillion.

Recent characteristics: volume increases on decline, volume continuously shrinks on rebound
💵 Contract trading volume is much larger than spot, the market is basically dominated by leveraged funds, spot support is weak
📉 During sharp drops, trading volume explodes; during rebound phases, buying quickly shrinks, a typical weak volume-price structure
Key bearish event: Unlock on November 21 (2.11% of total supply), funds hedge in advance, bulls dare not enter aggressively Market Review: $BTC experienced a typical long-short squeeze yesterday. The market generally expected further downside after the negative news, but it found support near 75,500 and rebounded, breaking through 79,000 consecutively and approaching 81,000 before entering a consolidation phase. This sharp rally seemed more like a concentrated short squeeze; the author's short position was also stopped out yesterday.
Key Levels: The four-hour structure still looks fragile, with daily resistance concentrated around 80,000; the surge to 81,000 yesterday can be seen as a short squeeze move. If it can hold above the 80,000 level going forward, there is still potential for further upside, but the difficulty appears significant at present. Regarding $ETH, 2,250 was previously seen as a rebound support line. Due to the "Yellow Hair losing Senate election" smoke screen, the price briefly fell below 2,230, and the market expected an accelerated drop, but it instead made a V-shaped rebound, which was indeed unexpected.
Outlook: ETH was previously expected to reach up to 2,450, but now breaking through that level seems difficult. Overall, after a sharp drop and rebound, it is not advisable to chase trades blindly. For BTC, focus on the 80,000 level's hold or loss; for ETH, watch the 2,450 resistance. Waiting for confirmation of direction after consolidation is a safer approach. #非农在即，就业数据能否强化12月加息预期？ #美国中期选举：民主党赢得国会两院控制权 #索尼Q2营业利润增长45%，上调全年业绩指引 #SKHY 24 hours -9.55%, dropped from 141 to 126.28. The most notable is the 07:00 candle: 116,000 contracts dumped down to 120.31, only 40% of the 279,000 contracts dumped at 23:00, yet it pushed the low down another 2.4 points. Half the volume and a lower position indicate there are no buy orders below, not that the selling pressure is very fierce.
08:00 directly contradicted this: 64,000 contracts lifted the price to 126.96, fully absorbing the entire 07:00 bearish candle and surpassing the 06:00 high of 125.62. Spending 64,000 contracts to raise the price by 5.8 points, while 07:00 spent 116,000 contracts to only drop it 1.9 points—the lifting efficiency is five times that of the dumping, so this breakdown is false.
Current price 126.28, MA20 at 130.85 pressing down by 4.6 points, 24h high/low 140.82 / 120.31.
Conditions: If the 08:00 candle closes above 125.62, pull back to 125.0~125.5 to go long, stop loss at 122.90, first target 129.10 with only 1.6x reward-to-risk, insufficient; look at 130.48 for 2.2x.
If the 1H candle closes with volume back below 120.31, it indicates this rebound is a bull trap, long positions invalidated, revert to wait and see.

(Not investment advice, trade at your own risk)This round is only $4 million, which is not much in the crypto world, but the problem it aims to solve might be more important than tens of millions in funding.
Lombard Systems builds financing infrastructure for tokenized securities. The seed round was led by Ethereal Ventures, with participation from ALPS Capital, First Commit, Veris Ventures, and ATKA.
It maintains a standard called "Delivery versus Locking": allowing banks, brokers, and transfer agents to accept tokenized assets as collateral without the assets leaving the original securities account, still locked under the owner's name, while the lender obtains an enforceable secured interest evidenced by a crypto-signed credit certificate.
The biggest friction with tokenized securities has never been whether they can be issued. Issuance is no longer a problem; projects like $ONDO have been advancing the tokenization of government bonds on-chain. The bottleneck is the next step: holding a tokenized asset, then what? To borrow against it, you often have to sell it first or transfer it to an unfamiliar wallet for staking.
DvL fills this gap: the asset stays in the original account, the rights don't move, and the bank's compliant custody process doesn't have to be overhauled. The logic is the same for assets like $BTC and $ETH that already sit on institutional books: letting what already exists be put to use.
Standards are standards, adoption is adoption. With a $4 million seed round, the team is still clarifying the message. The real test is whether the first batch of banks will accept it into their systems.Friday, 11.06
BTC dipped to 75,200 early this morning before rebounding to around 76,100, ETH hit a low of 2,206 and has now returned to around 2,240. Initially, I wanted to observe whether this sharp drop could flush out profit-taking, but both coins failed to close above the 20-period moving average on the 4-hour chart, and the rebound was not strong enough to repair the structure. Coupled with the inertia from last night's sharp decline in tech stocks, the market tested the bottom again in the morning session. I currently maintain a bearish outlook.
Short-term focus:
On the downside, first watch BTC's support strength at 75,200–75,550 and ETH's at 2,206–2,226. If the hourly candle body breaks below this range again and the rebound fails to recover it, the weakness will extend further downward. Conversely, if BTC recovers to 77,000–77,130 and ETH to 2,260–2,290 and holds steady, I will withdraw my short-term bearish view.
BTC falling to just above 70,000 can be considered a risk scenario for later, but it is not a conclusion for the current rebound wave. The premise is that it must first effectively break below this morning's low, then extend proportionally according to the previous drop from 81,200 to 75,200. Only then will the lower observation zone around 71,000–73,000 be entered. This is a technical estimate and does not constitute a definitive judgment on support levels.
ETH's decline and rebound rhythm this round are more intense. If the two coins' trends continue to diverge, I will prioritize watching whether ETH can first stabilize the newly tested low.
$BTC $ETH As Bitcoin recovers multiple key technical levels, the price has not only rebounded to the level where the average holder of Bitcoin spot ETF exchange-traded funds, representing compliant institutional capital inflows and outflows, begins to profit, but it has also surpassed the average holding cost of all Bitcoin holders, i.e., the True Market Mean (the estimated average purchase price of all on-chain Bitcoin), currently at $76,897. Bitcoin is currently trading in the $84,000 to $86,000 range, and the entire market has returned to a profitable state. This is crucial: historical experience shows that traders in a floating loss state will continue to close positions, thereby increasing selling pressure. In October 2025, Bitcoin broke below the realized cost of short-term holders (the average purchase cost of on-chain holdings), prompting us to take a bearish stance. Now that the entire market has returned above the average cost, FOMO is back, and traders are willing to increase leverage, which is only natural #交易之声：你的经验值得被听到 $BTC Avnet, a global leading electronic components distributor, announced preliminary results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, expecting sales between $11.1 billion and $11.4 billion, with earnings per share of $3.90 to $4.10. This guidance significantly exceeds general market expectations, reflecting strong demand and increasingly tight supply in the semiconductor supply chain. The company noted that supply constraints have led to higher average selling prices and improved profit margins, especially in its core distribution business. Avnet also highlighted strong performance from its Farnell division, which serves high-service, low-volume markets. Market Impact Analysis As a key indicator of the electronics supply chain, Avnet's optimistic guidance suggests that the semiconductor shortage is far from over. For the stock market, this news could boost sentiment among component distributors and chip manufacturers, as it implies sustained pricing power and healthy demand. Investors may shift toward semiconductor stocks and related ETFs, though risks remain if supply constraints ease faster than expected. In the bond market, strong corporate guidance may reinforce expectations of corporate earnings resilience, potentially supporting credit spreads for technology issuers. However, if the guidance implies ongoing inflation in input costs, it could heighten concerns about margin pressures across the broader tech sector. For commodities, tight chip supply may maintain demand for certain metals used in semiconductor manufacturing, such as copper and rare earth elements, though direct impact may be limited. In currencies, a stronger outlook from Avnet, if reflecting robust U.S. industrial activity, could mildly support the U.S. dollar, but the effect is likely minimal. 🔤 Inscription Dictionary Day 12: Inscription Number
📖 In a nutshell: Each inscription's sequence number on the chain, arranged in mint order.
🔍 Key point: The smaller the number = the earlier the mint = usually more valuable, this is hard consensus.
The number is indeed hard currency, but many people only look at the number and ignore the project. I've seen trash projects in the top 100 numbers, and their floor price still dropped to zero. The number can only add value, it can't save you. It's like having a great license plate, but the car itself is a junker.
❓ When you buy inscriptions, do you look at the number? Or just the project?
$BTC $ETH $ORDI Elections are just a catalyst: BTC watches liquidity, ETH watches regulatory sentiment
Core logic remains unchanged: Midterm elections cannot alter the major crypto trend; they only disrupt short-term sentiment and regulatory rhythm.
BTC is the least sensitive to politics; its pricing power no longer depends on "who wins." ETF fund flows and the Federal Reserve's interest rate path are the real steering wheel. When election outcomes meet expectations, the market tends to "buy the rumor, sell the fact," dropping first then stabilizing.
ETH, on the other hand, is "highly sensitive to regulation." DeFi, staking, Layer 2, token classification—each aspect is exposed under SEC and CFTC regulations. If the new Congress delays the "Clarity Act" or tightens its stance, ETH volatility will be magnified, with declines usually exceeding BTC; if regulatory expectations ease, ETH's rebound elasticity will also be stronger.
Focus on three variables: whether the election results fully meet expectations—surprises are black swans; whether the new Congress can effectively advance crypto legislation—delaying short-term negatives and clarifying medium-term positives; and the Fed's future interest rate path—macro liquidity is the ultimate pricing anchor.
In short: BTC watches liquidity, ETH watches regulatory sentiment. Elections are just a catalyst, not the underlying logic. The pits dug by sentiment often become the next round of entry opportunities.
#美国中期选举在即，哪些结果值得关注？ $BTC $ETH Thursday's bearish candlestick completely wiped out the relief from Wednesday's post-election mood. The market isn't re-pricing a Democratic congressional win per se, but rather re-pricing whether AI can continue to burn cash at the previous pace "after winning." The S&P closed at 7353.73, down 4.36%, with a single-day drop matching the tariff shock in April last year. The Dow dropped 1833 points to 51523, down 3.44%. The Nasdaq fell 5.52% to 24315, officially entering a correction zone more than 10% below its October high. The Russell 2000 declined 4.45%. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index dropped over 12%, nearing its March 2020 record decline. The VIX jumped to 28.18, rising nearly 70% in one day. Chip stocks were the main driver. Nvidia fell 9.26%, Micron, AMD, and Marvell were all down around 17%, and SanDisk dropped over 20%. The tech sector overall fell about 7%, with all 11 S&P sectors in the red. The declines were not evenly spread but expanded outward from the data center-related chain: storage, optical modules, compute leasing, and power-related sectors all got hit. The real trade on the floor is about the data center expansion pace. After the Democrats took both chambers, the market started pricing in stricter approvals, higher power costs, and slower capital expenditure rhythms. Wednesday's big bullish candlestick represented "political uncertainty temporarily settled," while Thursday's represents "specific policy risks after settlement starting to be priced in." The difference is significant. One is uncertainty removal; the other is new constraints being incorporated into the model. This kind of trading won't last just one day. Data#KORU 24 hours -33.8%, dropped from 10.19 to 6.75. The watershed is 7.00: At 04:00, a sell of 2.61 million tokens smashed the price from 7.37 to 6.48, breaking exactly the 7.00 platform from 02:00-03:00.
At 07:00, only 1.6 million tokens were used to pierce a new low of 6.09, with the selling volume decreasing all the way (6.84 million → 6.22 million → 1.6 million), but the lows got deeper with each drop: selling pressure did not increase, but buyers retreated first.
The rebound at 08:00 must also be acknowledged: 750,000 tokens lifted the price to 6.79, less than half of the 07:00 volume, swallowing the entire previous bearish candle. There were indeed buyers below, but they came in too early.
The current price 6.75 is stuck between 6.09 and 7.00, with MA20 at 8.06 pressing down by 1.3 units. A valid break and pullback is needed: a pullback to 6.90~7.00 but closing bearish on 1H with volume (≥700,000 tokens) signals shorting, stop loss at 7.25, first target 6.09 with odds 2.9, if broken then look at 5.70.
If it closes above 7.00 with volume (≥900,000 tokens), the short position is invalidated, return to wait-and-see, no reverse long positions — the 2.61 million tokens from 04:00 have not been digested yet.
$KORU
(Not investment advice, trade at your own risk)U.S. tech stocks collectively plunged, AI industry chain faced concentrated sell-off
U.S. stocks experienced a sharp correction, with the Nasdaq showing significant declines. The tech sector was the hardest hit, with AI, semiconductors, and storage all falling across the board, as the market saw large-scale profit-taking. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index dropped sharply, led by storage chips. SanDisk, SK Hynix, Micron, and Western Digital all plummeted simultaneously, continuing concerns about the peak of the storage cycle.
This round of sell-off is due to multiple negative factors converging. On one hand, the market is reassessing AI capital expenditures, worrying about a slowdown in data center procurement growth, which directly suppresses valuations across the entire AI industry chain including GPUs, storage, and optical modules. On the other hand, U.S. Treasury yields remain high, putting pressure on valuations of high-growth tech stocks. Additionally, after the midterm elections, the market began pricing in expectations of stricter data center regulations, further dampening sentiment in the AI infrastructure sector.
Large tech giants were not spared either, with Nvidia and Tesla leading the declines. AI stocks that had surged significantly earlier saw concentrated capital flight triggering a sell-off. The market has shifted from blindly buying AI to re-evaluating earnings delivery capabilities. Only companies that can consistently deliver better-than-expected earnings reports are likely to withstand this round of adjustments.
After short-term panic subsides, the sector will show clear differentiation. Key points to watch going forward are whether U.S. Treasury yields turn downward and whether storage chip prices and AI vendor orders can exceed expectations. Until the panic is fully cleared, the tech sector is likely to remain weak and volatile. $SNDK $SOXL #Post US Midterm Elections AI Regulation Divergence Triggers Market Volatility Why does the divergence in AI regulation impact the cryptocurrency market? The core political landscape after the US midterm elections often results in a divided Congress or a slim majority “lame-duck government.” However, in the field of artificial intelligence, this has not led to a regulatory vacuum but instead triggered an extremely disruptive “policy expectation fragmentation”: policy failures have led to paralysis of unified federal legislation, forcing the executive branch to intervene through executive orders and case-by-case enforcement, while states (such as California, New York, Texas) enact conflicting local laws. This high-level policy uncertainty directly breaks the capital discounting model for “trillion-dollar AI capital expenditures,” transmitting volatility from single tech stocks to overall liquidity, high-frequency microstructure, and the cryptocurrency ecosystem. This also results in traders across different dimensions facing drastic changes in micro market structure and risk control frameworks. 1. The first to be hit are quantitative market makers and high-frequency traders: order book toxicity and liquidity withdrawal, adverse selection costs rising exponentially: According to classical microstructure theory, market makers’ profits in the Kyle model depend on “uninformed trading flows” such as retail investors. However, during critical windows like closed-door congressional lobbying, congressional hearings, and policy draft leaks, insider policy information and breaking news trigger high-density “informed trading.” At these times, market makers face a sharply increased probability of “toxic order flow” shocks. Limit order book depth collapses and bid-ask spreads widen: to avoid millisecond-level sudden policy shocks..."Order Book Observation: The Thicker the Buy Orders, the More You Should Beware of Sudden Wall Withdrawals"
$BTC: Order ratio about 67:33, with tens of millions of dollars in buy orders stacked near 75000, looking like a strong support but may just be a temporary setup. After a deep V-shaped rebound, large orders are pressed below, which can mislead retail investors into thinking "it won't fall further," but orders can be withdrawn at any time, and it's not uncommon to see a sudden dump after withdrawal.
$ETH: Order ratio even more extreme at 71:29, with over five million buy orders near 2311. Usually falls quickly, but now appears particularly resilient. There is significant overhead trapped positions; such extreme support orders are more likely a bull trap rather than genuine support.
$SOL: 50:50 stalemate between bulls and bears, with buy orders near 92.6 but weak rebound, showing clear capital divergence. If the market stirs, it may be the first to dive.
Conclusion: Order book buy orders can be withdrawn and are a deceptive tactic; what you see may not be real. Liquidity worsens near evening, so don't be fooled by tens of millions in buy orders to chase highs. Whether it's genuine support or a trap will be clear from tonight's order withdrawals and dumps. In terms of trading, watch more and act less; don't get emotional. This is only a market observation and does not constitute investment advice.BTC/ETH/SOL Morning Observation: Long Positions Washed Out, Defense Lines Under Full Pressure
📉 Bitcoin: $873 million liquidated across the network in the past 4 hours, with longs accounting for $793 million; BTC dropped to $76,277, down 4.61% in 24 hours. If it falls below $75,000, the liquidation intensity of longs below is about $550 million; if it rebounds above $80,000, short liquidations above are about $1.45 billion. Strategy: Defend longs to kill longs, $75,000 is the short-term defense line.
⚠️ Ethereum: About $160 million liquidated in 24 hours, with longs accounting for 81% in the last 4 hours. The largest single liquidation occurred on Binance ETH/USDT, about $10.94 million. Price dipped to $2,247, down 5.88% in 4 hours. A whale's $214 million long liquidation price was suppressed to $2,178-$2,182, only about 6% from the current price. Strategy: $2,180 is the last defense line for bulls; losing it will trigger chain liquidations.
🔻 Solana: SOL dropped to around $95, down over 8% in 24 hours, with long liquidations exceeding $6 million. About $60 million long liquidations below are pending trigger, while short liquidations above are only $16 million. Strategy: The liquidation volume below is nearly 4 times that above; the crowded long structure is the most fragile, rebound is not the bottom.
🧭 Commonality of the Three: Long liquidations dominate absolutely; rebounds are driven by short covering rather than new long entries. Managing positions is more important than guessing direction. Real-time liquidation maps and whale movements are continuously tracked by me on OK Orbit. Not investment advice.Don't mistake the rebound for a reversal: Bitcoin returns to 80,000, more like a short squeeze pulse
$BTC surged about 4% in the short term, climbing from 78,300 to 80,000; $ETH was even stronger, jumping from 2,226 to 2,450, an increase of nearly 7%.
This wave mainly relies on two points: first, the US midterm election results were finalized, with the Democrats taking both chambers, removing market uncertainty. The Nasdaq opened up about 2%, risk appetite rose, and some funds flowed back into crypto; second, short positions near 80,000 were heavily liquidated, and the short squeeze accelerated the upward move.
But the key point not to overlook: spot ETFs still saw net outflows for three consecutive days as of November 3, totaling about 1.16 billion. In other words, core incremental funds have not arrived; this is not a rise driven by long-term spot buying.
Essentially, it is a brief release of pent-up sentiment combined with short stop-losses. The bullish candle looks strong, but its sustainability remains questionable; short squeezes often come quickly and tend to cool down rapidly after stop-losses are absorbed. Don't chase the pulse as a trend.
⚠️ Personal market record only, not trading advice Core Trader 14 (0x24fb65…bed0f) opened a long position on $ETH with 15x leverage, holding 255 tokens, with a notional value of approximately $569,300. The outcome is not yet known; I am more interested in dissecting its risk rules rather than treating a large position opening as a buy signal.
If this were to be written as a strategy: if you want to open a 15x long, first set a single-trade loss budget and exit conditions, then reverse-calculate the position size; if any condition is not set, do not open the position. 🤖 I think managing losses is more reliable than guessing direction: leverage amplifies the impact of price fluctuations on margin; calculating position size based on loss budget also prevents buying more just because you are optimistic.
But this rule has loopholes: stop-loss does not guarantee execution at the preset price, and exit conditions that are too tight may be triggered by short-term volatility. Since the material does not provide his margin mode and stop-loss setup, I won’t complete the strategy for him, just reminding myself not to treat others’ position sizes as certainties.When "10x leverage" stacks with "3x ETF," a devastating wealth grinder officially roars! Brother Ba Bai's words, "I owe my family the most, lost 40 million in the crypto circle," paired with a real trading screenshot showing SOXL's single-day loss of 34% and 140,000 U vaporized, directly tear off the veil from how many retail investors' high-leverage frenzy?
This is not a single market pullback but a systemic slaughter. The semiconductor index plummets, hawkish macro expectations rise, and high-valuation tech stocks face indiscriminate sell-offs. Using 10x contracts to bet on 3x leveraged ETFs in extreme one-sided markets is tantamount to directly triggering a self-destruct sequence.
Strategy and direction:
1. Quit leverage stacking: Never use derivatives to trade ETFs that already carry leverage; in a liquidity crisis, you won't even get a chance to stop loss.
2. Control your hands, wait for the right side: Keep an eye on the Federal Reserve's monetary policy and AI regulatory implementation signals. Before panic subsides and volume bottoms out, cash is the perfect position.
3. Strictly adhere to trading discipline: Both single trade stop loss and total position allocation are indispensable. Respect the market; don't let the stubbornness of "If it drops to zero, it’s none of my business" turn into the tragedy of "Sorry, family." Staying alive is more important than anything. #美中期选举后AI监管分歧引发行情波动 #ETH Last night at 23:00, a single trade of 14.91 million contracts (2.8 times the previous 5.3 million) cut the price from 2343.20 down to 2234.07. In the following nine hours, another 14.9 million contracts were burned, but the price only moved from 2251.04 to 2240.68 — the money was spent, but the position didn’t budge an inch; this is a lock, not a recovery.
At 07:00, a single trade of 2.18 million contracts simultaneously hit a 24h new low of 2204.98 and closed at 2237.00, with a lower shadow of 32 points. Someone bought at the lowest point, but the volume was thin: only one-seventh of the volume of the sell-off trade.
Current price is 2240.68, down 7.65% in 24h, with MA20 at 2326.5, 86 points overhead. The range is 2204.98~2285.50, 80 points wide; the current price is stuck in the middle, with neither side triggered.
If it closes above 2285.50 with volume ≥4 million contracts, pull back to 2278 to go long, stop loss at 2262, first target 2343 with only 1.7x reward, not enough; look at 2387 for 3.0x.

(Not investment advice, trade at your own risk) Yesterday, gold climbed to 4146 before starting to pull back, gradually declining. It is currently testing the previous low, and our long positions have already gained profits.
Gold on the four-hour chart has fallen back to a key support level. Why do we say this? Because 4089 was a support level previously, and any pullback to this level was met with a rebound. The MACD here has formed a golden cross, and the Bollinger Bands are also opening upwards. After bottoming at 3879, the price rebounded and formed a clear uptrend. Currently, the price is also in the dense trading zone around the previous 4080 level, oscillating at a high level. Going forward, keep a close eye on 4080; if it breaks, look for support at 4020. If these two levels hold, follow the trend and go long.
Buy on gold pullback at 4080-4075, target 4100, and if it breaks through, look to 4130 $BTC $XAU $XAUT $BTC's big bearish 4-hour candle last night wiped out the gains and even smashed to a new low, trapping those who chased the rally!
So we can't immediately turn bullish here. The next buy spot for spot is around 73000. Currently, it's just panic, not extreme fear. Buying near the 3-day KRSI around 10 is the safest!
Mid-month is also approaching, a point I've mentioned many times. It's also the expected reversal time according to the 3-day KMACD. We just need to watch for the MACD golden cross timing!Solana Labs' new company Leap has launched a mobile trading app of the same name, opening early access; it plans to use a portion of each transaction fee to buy back and burn $SOL after fees go live.
📌 What I value more is that it includes deposit, withdrawal, and transaction fees in the profit and loss display. A key point for newcomers: the price returning to the entry price does not mean breaking even; costs still need to be covered. The buyback is a potential positive, but its impact depends on fee income and buyback ratio, so don't treat the "plan" as an immediate buy order. I will first observe the actual implementation.I've always been puzzled: when the coin drops, shouldn't the short sellers be happy? This time it's the opposite.
$BTC is now hovering below $75,000. It sounds like a win for the bears, but on the options side, shorts have $430 million settling this Friday at 4 PM, which is a lot of pressure.
The reason is quite counterintuitive: above $75,000, there are $278 million worth of put options stacked, and the sellers lose more as the price drops. When collecting money, they call themselves market makers; when losing money, they bear it themselves.
What's even stranger is that almost no one is buying call options at or below $75,000, meaning no one dares to bet on a rebound in this range. So the most awkward position right now is actually the shorts—they lose when it falls, and only get relief if it rises back up.Amundi (Europe's largest asset manager, approximately €2.6 trillion AUM as of 2026-09-30) announced on November 5: its flagship European equity index fund, Amundi Core STOXX Europe 600, has added a tokenized share class, now issued on the public Ethereum blockchain. Custody and tokenization infrastructure are provided by CACEIS; this share class remains embedded within the original fund operating model, and traditional channels can still purchase it as usual. This marks a clear step in advancing tokenization from money market funds (previously launched with CACEIS on Ethereum) to broad-based index investing. The fund tracks the STOXX Europe 600 (covering about 600 large, mid, and small-cap companies across developed Europe). Amundi stated it will gradually expand its tokenized fund product line to serve institutional clients and digital platforms, emphasizing automation, accessibility, settlement speed, and transparency—but did not disclose quantitative improvements in fees or performance. Builders may focus on three points: ① Whether public chain settlement rails truly shorten institutional settlement cycles; ② How the EU DLT pilot and distribution compliance constrain transfers; ③ RWA.xyz shows tokenized equities at about $4.24 billion as of November 4, with nearly +27% growth in the past 30 days, but leading products still skew toward U.S. assets—the signal significance of European broad-based entry outweighs short-term volume. English: Amundi (Europe's largest AM, ~€2.6tn AUM) launched a toOn the same day, BlackRock's IBIT saw a net outflow of $201.2 million, while Fidelity's FBTC had a net inflow of $236.7 million, with the two funds pushing in opposite directions.
In total, the spot Bitcoin ETFs only had a net inflow of $74.6 million, which doesn't even cover the $1.16 billion withdrawn in the previous three days. Some call this a capital return, but I think it's more like big players moving assets between the two funds, with almost no increase in total volume.
The price can jump first due to short squeeze liquidations, but whether the spot orders can keep up is another matter. Do you think these "one out, one in" days look more like institutions changing seats, or more like no one is willing to add positions anymore? U.S. stocks wiped out overnight! Nasdaq plunges 5.5%, $3 trillion evaporates: Is the Democratic Party really going to sentence AI to death?
A political storm is shaking Wall Street. The AI myth has taken a heavy hit, with Nvidia and AMD plunging together. This time, the market turmoil is likely more than just a simple correction.
If you believe artificial intelligence is the most certain investment theme for the next decade, then the U.S. stock market on November 5 may have given all investors a very costly lesson.
On November 5, Eastern Time, the U.S. stock market experienced a severe sell-off. Tech stocks were the hardest hit, with the AI industry chain taking the brunt.
This was not an ordinary market adjustment.
The Nasdaq index plunged about 5.52% in a single day, the S&P 500 dropped about 4.36%, and the Dow Jones fell about 3.44%. The Nasdaq recorded its largest single-day drop in nearly 19 months, and the S&P 500 lost about $3 trillion in market value in one day.
Even more noteworthy, the semiconductor sector faced a fierce sell-off, with some AI industry chain stocks dropping double digits.
Wall Street suddenly started to get scared.
Behind this panic is a key trigger: the expansion of Democratic Party power after the U.S. midterm elections and market concerns about future AI regulatory policies.
So, the question arises:
Is the U.S. Democratic Party really going to ban AI development? If the era of AI regulation arrives early, what will Nvidia, Microsoft, Google, and the entire tech industry face?
1. Black Thursday: U.S. tech stocks face a severe sell-off
Let's look at market performance.
On November 5, major U.S. indices showed significant declines:
Index Single-day decline
Nasdaq -5.52%
S&P 500 -4.36%
Dow Jones -3.44%
Regarding individual stocks, tech giants and the AI industry chain were almost all hit.
$NVDA: down about 9.3%.
$AMD: down about 17.3%.
$SNDK: down about 22%.
$TSLA: down about 9%.
Semiconductor index: down over 12%.
This data sends a very clear signal:
The market is repricing the AI industry chain.
In the past two years, as long as a company was related to AI, the capital market was willing to assign a higher valuation.
Nvidia became a star in the global capital market due to AI chip demand, and data centers, servers, power equipment, and cloud computing companies also received huge valuation premiums.
But now, investors are raising a very realistic question:
If future AI infrastructure construction slows down, how much profit can the data centers built with hundreds of billions of dollars today still generate?
This is the real warning behind this plunge.
2. Democratic Party victory: Why did AI stocks panic collectively?
An important catalyst for this market plunge comes from changes in the U.S. political landscape.
In the 2026 U.S. midterm elections, the Democratic Party made significant gains, altering the balance of power in Congress.
The market fears the Democratic Party will push for stricter AI regulatory policies in the future.
It should be clarified: the Democratic Party has not officially announced a total ban on AI, nor has the U.S. government decided to stop AI research.
What really triggered market concerns is that some Democratic lawmakers have proposed stricter AI regulatory measures, including:
1. Strengthening independent testing and regulation of advanced AI systems.
2. Restricting the uncontrolled development of superintelligent AI; some lawmakers even proposed pausing related advanced AI research.
3. Enhancing scrutiny of large data center construction.
4. Preventing data center expansion from causing higher electricity costs for ordinary residents.
5. Implementing stricter supervision of AI companies' data security, social impact, and potential risks.
These policies may seem unrelated to ordinary investors.
But the problem is, today's AI industry is no longer just a software sector.
Behind it lies a massive capital chain:
AI models require computing power, computing power requires chips, chips require data centers, data centers require electricity, cooling equipment, land, and huge infrastructure investments.
Any policy restriction on any link could affect the expected returns of the entire industry chain.
For example, if data center construction approvals become stricter, server demand may be affected; if electricity costs rise, data center operating profits may be squeezed.
The market is not worried that AI will suddenly disappear, but that the commercialization speed of AI may not be as fast as investors imagine.
3. The real danger: AI may not lack a future, but its valuation is too high
This is what I think is the most noteworthy aspect of this market adjustment.
In the past, the market's pricing logic for AI was very simple:
AI demand growth → data center expansion → chip demand increase → corporate profit growth → stock valuation rise.
This logic indeed drove a significant rise in tech stocks recently.
However, as more companies invest huge sums in building AI infrastructure, another question emerges:
When will the invested funds truly convert into profits?
Building data centers requires capital, buying GPUs requires capital, maintaining servers requires capital, and paying electricity costs also requires capital.
If companies keep increasing capital expenditures but AI business revenue growth cannot keep pace, the market will reassess these companies' investment returns.
This means the AI industry may still be in a long-term growth phase, but related stocks may not maintain their previous high valuations.
Investors must distinguish two concepts:
The development prospects of AI technology and the current investment value of AI stocks are not the same.
An industry can have a very bright future, but if stock prices have already priced in growth for the next decade, short-term sharp adjustments may still occur.
This is also why, even if the AI industry does not experience a technical collapse, the capital market may still undergo large-scale sell-offs.Bitcoin is currently stuck in an awkward position—below $75,000. The price itself isn't dramatic; the drama lies in the options structure.
Let's look at two sets of numbers: put options above $75,000 total $278 million; at or below $75,000, there are almost no call options bought. This combination tells a lot: in the lower range, no one is willing to spend money betting on a rebound.
The result is that the shorts are starting to feel the heat. If $BTC remains below $75,000 by Friday 4 PM, shorts will face a settlement pressure of $430 million.
The mechanism isn't complicated. For put options above $75,000, the lower the price goes, the more the sellers lose. These sellers are the so-called "shorts" in the market, who were comfortable collecting premiums but now have to pay up. And because there are no corresponding call options to hedge, this exposure is naked—there's no other leg to help bear the risk.
So the key isn't whether it will drop, but whether the price can be pushed back above $75,000 before Friday 4 PM. If it goes up, the $278 million worth of put options will collectively become out-of-the-money, and the short pressure will instantly vanish; if it doesn't, the $430 million will have to be settled in full.
$ETH and $SOL have basically been following $BTC these days, with no unique stories in their options structure. The real trigger is at Friday 4 PM.Don't rush to call the bottom; volume doesn't lie
Bitcoin has bounced back to 79,000, Ethereum touched 2,380, and SOL is also rising. The social circle instantly got lively, shouting "the bottom is here" and "reversal" at the top of their lungs.
A splash of cold water: The rebound in the past two days has had volume as dry as a desert, and the liquidations are all shorts. Simply put, this is a classic short squeeze at an oversold position, not a trend reversal. The longer the sideways consolidation lasts, the cleaner the shorts get cleared, and the closer the next pulse often is—but the direction may not be what you think.
The most dangerous illusion at the table is to assume you've won just because you got a good hand. A bounce after an oversell is very normal; don't mistake a rebound for a reversal, and don't change the entire trend judgment based on one or two bullish candles. Until the key daily line is broken, I will continue to defend my position.
The market won't change direction just because you shout loudly. Wait for signals; don't gamble on luck.Bitcoin surged to 80,692, Ethereum jumped 6 points directly, and even small coins like ZEC bounced nearly 10 points. This market has kept me waiting so long my tea has gone cold three times.
Honestly, I used to pour cold water on every rebound recently, saying there was no volume, no story, just pure emotion. This time it's different; there's really something supporting it. Everyone knows about the election, no need to elaborate. The key is oil prices, which crashed 7% in one day, directly suppressing inflation expectations, and the scary story of rate hikes is temporarily silenced. Plus Circle's financial report exceeded expectations, with USDC on-chain transaction volume up 49%. Stablecoins aren't just empty promises; real money is moving. The crypto world has long suffered from "no fundamentals," but this time there's finally something to show.
So tonight's bullish candle tastes different from those sneaky rebounds before.
But after the praise, here comes the cold water. The real test is the non-farm payroll at 9:30 PM tomorrow, the true litmus test. If the data is too strong, rate hike expectations will return; if too weak, recession trades will immediately take over. This two-way trap script has played out many times this year, everyone knows it well.
My view hasn't changed: the 80,000 level must turn from resistance into support and hold for three days to be a real breakout. Brothers who rush in tonight, don't rush to add positions before tomorrow night's data.
Anyone recovering tonight? Drop a comment so I know I'm not alone enduring this.Let me first make a straightforward calculation: how much capital brokers need to hold, how to safeguard client assets, and how detailed the record-keeping must be — for users, this boils down to two things: fund security and service costs. According to TheDefiant, the SEC's proposed revisions to crypto asset broker rules have entered White House review, covering capital requirements, client asset protection, and record retention. This is still just the review stage, not yet finalized.
My judgment is that this news is more important for the operational threshold of brokers and should not be directly interpreted as positive for coin prices. Capital and client asset protection requirements relate to whether institutions have buffers when under pressure; record retention requirements relate to whether disputes can be clearly audited afterward. These are more concrete than just saying "regulatory progress."
But stability may also come with costs. My speculation is that if the final requirements increase compliance expenses, some institutions might adjust their fees or service scope. For ordinary users, stronger protection is obviously better, but you can't just look at the rule names; you have to see the final provisions and actual enforcement.
I will lean toward caution, first reviewing the official text, then judging its impact on service costs, and not rush to speculate on market trends based on review progress. If stronger client asset protection means higher fees, would you be willing to pay a bit more for stability, or accept less protection and take some risk for lower costs? $BTC is once again consolidating around 76000, but hitting the whole number resistance and truly holding above it are two different matters. Kraken's public quote is about 75995 USD, with the lowest point in the past 24 hours at 75100; I’m first watching to see if this correction can leave a higher low.
Johnny admitted that his previous expectation of continued rise was wrong and shifted to emphasizing capital protection and caution against further downside. This is the blogger adjusting his own judgment and does not mean I have verified his trading results. I prefer to learn from timely corrections rather than continuously justifying old views after a decline.
My market view is that only if the hourly close stands back above the threshold and the pullback can hold, will I consider the correction as a trackable scenario; if it just oscillates up and down crossing the threshold repeatedly, I won’t chase every rebound to make judgments. Conversely, if it breaks the aforementioned low again and the rebound fails to recover, the correction plan becomes invalid, and I will stop trial and error to avoid turning short-term failures into long-term holding.
The core contradiction right now is not whether the price is cheap enough, but whether the buying can continuously catch the pullbacks. I will wait for conditions to be met before discussing the upside. Would you prioritize watching the hourly close or whether the next pullback can form a higher low? For discussion only, not investment advice.Absolutely not investment advice. Core's core narrative: BTCFi (Bitcoin DeFi) track, unique Satoshi Plus consensus, using Bitcoin hash power + PoS together to secure the network, focusing on letting idle BTC be staked to earn yield, with a token CORE capped at 2.1 billion (compared to BTC's 21 million). ✅ Bullish logic (advantages) 1. Scarce track narrative BTCFi has been one of the main themes in the crypto space in recent years, many Bitcoin miners and BTC whales are interested in this direction; its dual staking mechanism: staking CORE can get higher BTC staking yields, theoretically continuously generating demand for CORE. The official 2026 roadmap focuses on ecosystem revenue buying back CORE, no longer relying solely on inflation burn, trying to build a revenue-supported token model. 2. EVM compatible, low entry barrier Ethereum developers can directly deploy contracts, ecosystem direction focuses on BTC lending, BTC liquid staking, RWA, payments (SatPay), positioning itself as Bitcoin's smart contract chain. 3. Miner community foundation Early attracted many BTC miners to participate in consensus, which is a differentiation other BTCFi projects (Babylon, Stacks) don't have; many custodians and institutional service providers have joined to offer BTC staking solutions. ⚠️ Very significant risks (also the biggest constraints on prospects, points you cared about before) 1. Controversy over decentralization of validator nodes + official节"The V-shaped rebound is fierce, don't call a bull return yet (๑•́ ₃ •̀๑)"
After the Democrats swept both houses of Congress, on the night the midterm election results were finalized, I said that was a temporary low point. I placed an order at 75,000, but it didn't execute—the rebound was too fast. Looking at it today, the "main force" behind this rise isn't new money, but shorts.
$BTC rebounded sharply from 75,618 to above 80,700 with strong momentum, but there was a 24-hour total liquidation of 822 million across the network, with short positions accounting for 511 million, or 62%. In one hour, 378 million in shorts were liquidated; meanwhile, open interest dropped 4.36% to 347.7 billion, indicating old positions are being cleared. Spot BTC ETFs have seen a net outflow of 1.16 billion in the past three days, with institutions selling and retail investors buying. 80,000 is just a psychological barrier; 82,000 is the real test, and a breakout requires new buying (•̀ᴗ•́)و
$ETH has risen above 2,400, showing the strongest rebound, but its foundation is still insufficient: on the same day, spot ETFs saw an outflow of 85.35 million, with strong on-chain activity but weak institutional support; 2,370–2,390 is a pullback observation zone. Its sharp rise is due to concentrated short covering, not institutional return (￣▽￣)
$SOL is the weakest, with 1.88 million active addresses. Adoption after Alpenglow hasn't stopped, RSI is near oversold but no capital is coming in. It seems like a strong fundamental asset mistakenly punished by macro factors; risk appetite returning could lead it to lead the rally. For now, neither flee nor chase (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧
In short: this wave is a short squeeze rally; wait for new buying to enter before calling a bull return.
#美国中期选举：民主党赢得国会两院控制权 Once Coinbase options go live, what might truly be rewritten is not just "another trading product added," but the volatility pricing power of $BTC and $ETH beginning to shift from offshore options venues to US-compliant spot platforms. Previously, if you wanted to trade options on Deribit and hold coins on spot platforms, your funds had to be split between two places; now, within the same account system, you can sell puts or calls to collect premiums, buy puts to hedge downside, and achieve big moves with small costs, no longer relying on high-leverage contracts to bear risk — structurally favorable for spot holders. What’s even more intriguing is the timing: current IV is low, naturally favoring option buyers, even lowering the cost of long call strategies. The market generally treats this news as a "product update" and moves on, overlooking that in a low volatility environment combined with compliant options channels, the first changes usually occur in market makers’ and institutions’ hedging paths, not retail order buttons. When selling strategies can be executed within spot accounts, premium income can coexist with holdings, and the improvement in capital efficiency will gradually reflect in term structure and skew. Of course, there are glaring shortcomings. Coinbase doesn’t even have markers on K-line charts yet, let alone social features like order posting — which is exactly where OKX gathers KOLs. If Coinbase is willing to learn from Chinese exchanges’ product ideas and implement order book displays, it will attract not only capital but also content and traffic. $ETH does not have a unified “whale standard”; thresholds vary across different platforms, and it is distinguished from BTC (≥1000 BTC) criteria: The two most commonly used classifications in the community (Santiment / Glassnode) 1. Super Whales: ≥100,000 ETH Very few addresses, ranging from several dozen to over sixty. ⚠️ The majority here are: Beacon Chain staking contracts, exchange custody wallets, ETF custody addresses; genuine individual whales are very rare. 2. Standard Whales: ≥10,000 ETH (the tier most closely watched) Approximately 800 to 1100 addresses; this tier represents the whales commonly referred to who actively trade and influence the market, including funds, large holders, and institutional self-custody wallets. 3. Large Holders/Sharks: ≥1,000 ETH This tier has many more addresses, numbering in the thousands, including many mid-sized funds, staking service providers, and DeFi treasuries. The most important misconception (same as BTC) Address ≠ real independent person - Beacon Chain deposit contracts, Lido, Coinbase staking pools, and major exchange cold wallets are all counted as whale addresses; - One whale can split assets into dozens of wallets; one wallet can hold tens of thousands of retail investors’ funds (custody). Therefore, on-chain data can only count wallet addresses and cannot accurately determine how many real independent “people” are whales. A simple comparison with the BTC you just asked about - BTC whale standard: ≥1000 BTC,Mainstream on-chain analysis (Santiment) defines addresses holding ≥1,000 BTC as BTC whales - latest statistics: 2,044 addresses ≥ 1,000 BTC, holding about 7.17 million BTC in total, accounting for nearly 36% of circulating supply. However! Addresses ≠ Genuine and independent individuals/institutions, which is the easiest pitfall: Includes cold exchange wallets, ETF custody addresses, platform reserve wallets, not all large individual users. For example, an exchange may have several such whale addresses, which actually belong to the same institution. More detailed layering (another sub-caliber) - Sharks: 1,000–5,000 BTC - Whales: 5,000–10,000 BTC (narrow sense) ≈ over 100 addresses - Humpback whales (super whales): > 10,000 BTC, fewer than 100 addresses. This includes MicroStrategy, the US government, early tycoons, and large custodians. Two key misconceptions: 1. It's impossible to know the real "number of whales": one person can control dozens of wallets; A single wallet could also be the money of many users (exchanges), and on-chain you can only count addresses, making it hard to distinguish the entities behind them. 2. Different platforms have different entry barriers: Some media outlets are a bit more lenient, calling ≥100 BTC 'big holder,' and the number of addresses increases to nearly 20,000, so they shouldn't be confused. In short, summarize by the most commonly used in the circle: 1 Babylon 主打比特币质押（BTC Staking），海外评价分成明显的多头看好派、谨慎质疑派： ✅ 正面评价（机构、Crypto原生社区） 1. 赛道创新认可度高 很多海外开发者、加密研究机构认为它解决了比特币本身不能质押、无法捕获质押收益的痛点，把BTC变成可生息资产；依托比特币的安全性，区别于普通公链质押，认为安全底座更强。 2. 资本背书加分 多家海外知名VC参投，在推特（X）、DC、加密研报平台，不少分析师认为它是BTCFi赛道头部项目，看好RWA、BTC流动性生态的叙事。 3. 和Cosmos生态协同 Cosmos社区普遍比较支持，认为Babylon可以给Cosmos生态带来大量BTC资产，提升整个生态的资产体量与流动性。 ⚠️ 负面/谨慎评价（研究员、保守矿工、安全派） 1. 安全与信任风险是最大争议 不少比特币原生主义者（Maximalist）反对：比特币本来的核心就是“无需信任、不锁币”，Babylon的质押合约、托管/验证层引入了新的信任假设、智能合约风险，一旦合约漏洞，会造成BTC被盗。很多老BTC玩家不愿意把原生BTC拿去质押锁仓。 2.Friendly reminder

#美中期选举后AI监管分歧引发行情波动 $SNDK $MU ONDO experienced a volume-driven decline at 11 PM last night, with contract open interest also shrinking. On OKEx spot, the price dropped from $0.3889 to $0.3725 within one hour, with a trading volume of approximately $1.586 million, four times that of the previous hour. The nominal value of open contracts decreased from about $13.81 million at 10 PM to about $12.54 million at midnight the next day, a reduction of roughly 9.2%.
At 8:07 AM this morning, ONDO was quoted at $0.3670, down about 9.85% over 24 hours, with a trading volume of approximately $7.087 million, still below last night's closing price.
I tend to interpret that sharp drop as a leveraged position exit. The decline in open interest does not clarify whether longs or shorts were closed, nor does it prove that selling pressure has ended. This morning's price has not yet recovered to $0.3725.
Next, watch whether $0.3725 can be reclaimed and whether open interest stops falling. If the price breaks below the 24-hour low of $0.3604 but open interest increases again, I will revise my view that deleveraging is the main driver.
$ONDO #非农在即，就业数据能否强化12月加息预期？
If the non-farm payrolls exceed expectations strongly, it will reinforce the December rate hike expectations. When the US dollar and Treasury yields rise, risk assets will come under pressure.
If the non-farm payrolls disappoint, rate hike expectations will cool down, and $BTC is expected to rebound to $78,000, $ETH to $2,320;
If the data is hot, BTC may retest the previous low of $75,500, ETH will test the $2,225 support. Currently, the mid-term logic remains unchanged, and macro data determines the short-term direction.
$SNDK Microsoft and Meta have jointly issued $40 billion in bonds to boost AI infrastructure, with the spillover demand for computing power directly impacting the sentiment around storage chips. As a mapped target on the chain, SKHYNIX cannot remain unaffected. I judge that this sharp decline is an emotional overreaction rather than a logical reversal. The funding rate is deeply negative at -0.1572%, and the short crowding has reached an extreme level. The open interest remains steady at 70,000 coin-based contracts, indicating that it is not a long liquidation but rather shorts increasing pressure. The short squeeze risk is accumulating. After a 14.8% plunge in 24 hours, the price hangs at 837.6, with a low probe to 809.6. The turnover is only 549,000, showing that selling pressure is waning. The top 10 order book shows 130 buy orders versus 79 sell orders, a buy-sell ratio of 1.65, indicating buyers are quietly accumulating at low levels. Operationally, one can lightly try going long at 831.4, with a stop loss below 803.7 and a target initially at 896.2; if it rebounds to around 902.5 and stalls, then reverse to short, with a stop loss at 917.8 and a target of 846.3. Position size should be controlled within 20%, and in a negative funding rate environment, sufficient margin must be reserved for overnight positions.

$SKHYNIX ETH short-term is not suitable for chasing longs: high-leverage long positions may become pullback fuel
Brother Maji's ETH long position this round is indeed impressive: 25x leverage rolling positions, increasing from over 2,000 contracts to nearly 6,700 contracts, average price 2366, unrealized profit over $460,000, but the liquidation price is also raised to 2391, risk is amplified simultaneously.
I am cautious in the short term and do not agree with continuing to chase longs. The rally after the election seems more like short covering after uncertainty release rather than the start of a new trend. ETH faces obvious resistance around 2450, with limited upside space; after the Democrats take Congress, regulatory expectations marginally weaken, and institutional funds are unlikely to quickly return in the short term. At this time, the more high-leverage longs pile up, the easier it is for sentiment to turn and become downward pressure.
Trading idea: existing low longs can take partial profits in batches, at least move stop loss up near cost; do not open new positions chasing. Try shorting on a rebound to 2450-2480, or follow after breaking below 2350; stop loss above 2500, first target near the strong liquidation price at 2391, further target 2300-2250. Market sentiment warming does not mean trend reversal; short term, be more cautious of high-leverage long liquidations.

ADP recorded 86,000, while the nonfarm expectation was only 60,000. This gap looks more like a lead-in to expectation games rather than a rate cut trigger. If weak data triggers growth concerns, risk assets may first see valuation cuts before easing is discussed; strong data will push up rate expectations, and rising US Treasury yields will continue to drain liquidity. A single data point should not be read as a trend.
BTC's slight rise looks more like a low-volume correction; off-exchange funds are still watching, selling pressure above has not been digested, and ETFs lack continuous net inflows. The probability of sharp rises and falls in the night session is not low. ETH is relatively weaker; the rebound lacks new narratives and support. Once BTC volatility increases, ETH is more likely to break down first, so blind bottom-fishing is not advisable.
XAUT is more defensive amid the chaos: service sector prosperity and inflation stickiness remain, and central bank gold purchases provide a floor. Regardless of nonfarm strength, the constraint of rates staying high remains unchanged, and gold's safe-haven resilience is still stronger than that of the crypto space. Short-term sentiment should not trap long-term logic.

The long-short data shows bulls directly rushing to 76.08%, with a long-short ratio of 3.18. Most people chose to enter and bottom-fish for a rebound after stepping on the low point in the early morning.
The market price is now slightly fluctuating around 2243, with a small decline, temporarily stabilizing. The short-term low is at 2204.98, which is the most important support right now. If this level is broken again, the expectation for this wave to stop falling will be questionable. The short-term MA20 above is around 2240, and the price is just grinding along the moving average. The first resistance is at 2286, which is the MA50 position. To truly rebound, it must hold above this level to have a chance to continue upward.
One point to watch is that the bulls' proportion is too high and too consistent. When everyone thinks it can't fall further and crowds to lay long positions, it is often the time with the greatest risk of a shakeout. Ethereum's volatility itself is very flexible and often uses the main coin's rhythm to make a reverse spike, specifically to sweep out these bottom-fishing chips.
The funding rate currently looks relatively stable, with no extreme premium. But this sideways movement after a sharp drop cannot be considered a strong reversal, at best a brief consolidation after the decline. Never think the bottom has come just because it has dropped a lot and rush in heavily with a large position. In this kind of market, it's better to wait for volume to increase and hold above resistance before considering entry, rather than rushing to bet on direction within a range, which can easily lead to getting hit back and forth. Last night BTC slid from a high of $80,809 all the way down to $75,309, ETH dropped 7.9% to $2,233, and SOL and DOGE both fell over 6%. The trigger was the tech stock crash in the US stock market: the Nasdaq dropped more than 10% from its October 6 record, officially entering correction territory; the VIX surged over 50% in one day, hitting 26. Initial jobless claims were 189,000, a 57-year low — the data was so good it turned bearish, reigniting fears of rate cuts. Source: ChosunBiz report on November 6, Bitcoin fell below $76,000, Fear & Greed Index at 31; Medium analysis on the same day noted Nasdaq entering correction territory and VIX rising to 26. Even more painful is the timing: at 08:00 UTC today, 33,135 BTC options on Deribit expire, worth about $2.65 billion, with the max pain point at $79,000; tonight the US nonfarm payroll report will also be released. On November 4, the US spot BTC ETF still had a net inflow of $74.6 million, institutions just bottom-fished, while retail investors got scared first. I think this wave is not Bitcoin's own problem, but a contagion from the US stock AI bubble panic — the rebound from Wednesday's midterm elections was wiped out in one day, indicating the market hasn't found direction yet and is just looking for a scapegoat. But $75,600 was the election night low; if it can't hold, the next level down is $73,000; holding and reclaiming $77,700 means Wednesday's bullish candle wasn't in vain. The Fear & Greed Index has already dropped to 31, the screen is full ofOn the surface, it looks like everyone is waiting for the stock split fireworks, but underneath, it feels like funds are quietly pulling back 🫧 Is the excitement really about sentiment, or has risk appetite truly returned? I'm watching SNDK's recent decline, which feels very much like the recent cross-market undercurrent: the US stock storage sector is still digesting a high-level pullback, RSI has slipped into deep oversold territory, and the price is tugging around 1k; fundamentals are repeatedly brought up—NAND supply and demand remain tight, earnings aren't bad, and valuations have been pushed very low. But what's really being traded isn't "cheapness," it's whether the 1-for-8 stock split on November 19 can bring about an emotional recovery. The problem is, this expectation is so obvious that it can be priced in early, leaving only the pressure to deliver when the event actually happens. What concerns me more is the mirror of cross-market linkage. When storage stocks' volatility amplifies, risk appetite usually doesn't stay confined to a single sector: if high-volatility names like SNDK can hold steady, risk appetite for BTC and ETH might warm up accordingly, and altcoin sentiment could get a bit more room to test; conversely, if 983 doesn't hold and support is sought between 920 and 880, or even if 830 is broken, then it's not just a single stock logic being overturned, but a contraction in capital tolerance for high-volatility assets. At that point, crypto is more likely to see rebounds sold off and positions lightened, rather than a broad-based expansion. There is also a bullish path: the stock split brings attention, technical recovery appears after overselling, the NAND narrative is retold, and the storage chain and risk assets catch a breather together. But the risk hasn't been
