Analyst consensus revenue is about $268 million, EPS about $0.14, falling within the company's guidance range of $255 million–$290 million. Q2 revenue already reached $191.9 million, a year-over-year increase of 86%, and the company guides that 800G sales in Q3 will grow nearly 5 times quarter-over-quarter, with 1.6T shipments starting in late Q3, providing solid quarter-over-quarter revenue momentum.
However, the real "exceeding expectations" will not come from 800G — this has been fully priced in. The key variable is whether the shipment pace of 1.6T at the end of Q3 is faster than the conservative wording of "initial shipments," and whether the profit margin contribution from CATV can offset the cost pressure from capacity ramp-up. The downside risk is that the decline in 100G and the capacity constraints of 800G occur simultaneously, pushing revenue to the lower half of the guidance and further compressing profits.
Conclusion: The revenue outlook is positive, but this is not a "blindly exceeding expectations" earnings report. In the past four quarters, AAOI has exceeded expectations three times with an average surprise of 40%, but the stock price halving in one month indicates the market has already priced in very low expectations. The real winning factor is the shipment volume and profit margin of 1.6T, not the volume growth of 800G itself.#Circle's financial report is about to be released, will the growth of stablecoins translate into profits? #Circle财报在即，稳定币增长能否兑现收益？ Q3 will not prove that "stablecoin growth can deliver returns," but will once again demonstrate the structural mismatch between Circle's scale growth and profit realization. In other words, this is not a quarter of "growth realization," but a quarter where "growth is diluted by costs and interest rates." $BNB had 6.1 billion withdrawn in 24 hours, and the selling pressure in the hacker's hands keeps pouring out continuously. The daily chart is directly suppressed and falling along the moving averages, and the current price is stubbornly holding around the 700 mark.
The most critical issue is that below 700 is a vacuum zone of chips, with no buying support to catch the fall. Once this level is broken, there won't even be resistance below, and the long positions' stop-loss orders could trigger a stampede, creating a bottomless pit.

DeFi liquidity is only useful when capital can move efficiently between trading and lending markets. FLUID's approach to combining liquidity across different DeFi activities addresses an important problem: fragmented capital. However, technology alone does not guarantee sustainable demand. Long-term progress depends on actual usage, competitive execution, and whether users consistently find better efficiency within its ecosystem.$BTC Market Overview
Wow, I really give up. These past two days I feel like I've been brainwashed, with daily drawdowns of several thousand. I just can't take it anymore, I'm running first and will buy back at a good position later. (By the way, my coin-based position won't move, holding at 4000.)
$BTC dipped intraday to about $76,389, then rebounded along with the Nasdaq and AI sector to retake the $77,500–$78,000 range, even briefly breaking above $78,000. The day started weak but ended strong, overall oscillating within a range while waiting for the election vote count results. The market focus is stuck between $77,000 and $78,000, with neither bulls nor bears daring to make large unilateral bets. Liquidity has contracted ahead of the major outcome.
Technical Analysis

- First resistance: 78,600
- Second resistance: 80,200
- Short-term support: 76,200, strong support at 74,800
Funds & Contracts
Spot ETFs continue to see capital outflows, institutional buying is temporarily absent, capping the rebound; on the contract side, bulls and bears are fiercely contesting. During the sharp drop, some longs stopped out, and after the rebound, shorts increased positions to defend key resistance levels; funding rates show no clear one-sided bias, market sentiment is cautiously watchful, with no extreme greed or panic.
#美国中期选举进入计票阶段，国会控制权将如何变化？ Short positions account for 100%. This ratio looks very exciting, but my first reaction is: chasing volatility at this time, is the odds still favorable? The material refers to the public forced liquidation records of OKEx ETH USDT perpetual contracts in the past hour. I prefer to see it as a risk warning for counter-trend leverage rather than proof that the price rise is already stable.
I would assign a higher weight to scenarios where short-term shorts are easily hurt, but I would not simultaneously increase the probability of a continuous rise. The reason is simple: forced liquidation records only tell me who has been forced out, not how much buying interest remains behind. Treating the already occurred squeeze as repeatable realized gains, I think, is double counting.
In my speculation, if the price can hold after the squeeze and the pullback does not quickly erase the gains, then continuing to observe the upward logic is more worthwhile; if it quickly falls back after the surge, then chasing this news has a poor risk-reward structure. The former at least provides a position where the judgment fails, while the latter may only leave emotions, making win rate and odds hard to evaluate.
I'm a bit of a killjoy; the more orderly the one-sided liquidation data, the more I want to first look for counter-evidence. This information raises my alertness to leverage risk but does not stamp the directional judgment. Facing such concentrated short position liquidations, do you value the win rate after the price stabilizes more, or do you prefer to participate earlier with harder-to-judge odds? #AMD data center revenue nearly doubled, both revenue and guidance exceeded expectations
Do you think AMD really has the trump card to challenge NVIDIA in the AI hardware game? $AMD $NVDA
The just-released Q3 2026 earnings report is indeed impressive, with quarterly revenue of $13.38 billion and adjusted EPS of $2.09, both surpassing market expectations
Data center business surged 97% quarter-over-quarter to $8.5 billion, with revenue share jumping to 64% in one go. Lisa Su also set next quarter's guidance near $17 billion and boldly claimed that 2027 revenue will increase by more than 80%
The soaring data center share means AMD has completely transformed from a PC processor company into an AI computing infrastructure giant. As the MI450 series and Helios architecture systems roll out across major companies, cloud providers are aggressively pouring orders into AMD to prevent NVIDIA from dominating alone
Although the traditional gaming business declined 40% due to the semi-custom chip cycle, the data center's high 34% operating margin directly compensates for the shortfall. Capacity constraints and rapidly increasing supply chain inventory are current risks that need to be managed
AI GPU revenue in the computing segment will most likely surpass traditional server CPU revenue for the first time in Q4. In the short term, the chip segment is likely to see a valuation recovery, but the real long-term game-changer lies in ecosystem development. Whether AMD's ROCm system can truly help customers lower migration barriers will determine how much market share it can carve out from NVIDIA#Circle财报在即，稳定币增长能否兑现收益？ Circle is about to release its Q3 2026 financial report, with the market's core focus on whether the continuous expansion of the USDC ecosystem can truly translate into profits, which is the key to validating the current valuation.
Circle's core profit model relies on the scale of USDC circulation combined with interest from U.S. Treasury reserves. The current industry characteristics are clear: on-chain transaction volume, CCTP cross-chain scenarios, B2B payments, and AI settlement demands are continuously booming; USDC's compliance advantages remain solid, and institutional capital recognition is high. However, growth has begun to diverge, with Q2 USDC circulation growth slowing significantly year-over-year, coupled with the ongoing decline in U.S. Treasury yields, putting pressure on reserve asset returns and directly suppressing core interest income.
A bigger profit pain point comes from fixed costs. Nearly 60% of Circle's revenue is used for distribution commissions to exchanges, wallets, and other channels. High profit sharing continues to erode gross margin, creating an industry dilemma where revenue growth does not easily translate into profit growth. Relying solely on scale expansion can no longer steadily increase profits.
The core highlight of this financial report is the realization of the second growth curve. The retained USDC within the platform continues to double, and non-interest value-added businesses such as payments and subscriptions are key to breaking free from sole dependence on U.S. Treasury yields. If Q3 sees acceleration in non-reserve income, controllable channel costs, and improved retention rates of existing funds, scale growth can effectively convert into profitability.
Conversely, if circulation growth remains weak, yields continue to decline, and new business implementation falls short of expectations, the market's earlier pricing logic for stablecoin growth will face a correction.The U.S. midterm elections have concluded!
Latest landscape + sector impact analysis
The results of the 2026 U.S. midterm elections are basically settled, with the Democratic Party successfully gaining full control of both the House and Senate, completely overturning the previous narrow Republican control.
The market officially enters a "Trump White House + Democratic Congress" balance of power governance cycle. Over the next two years, U.S. fiscal, regulatory, and industry policies will see significant shifts, directly affecting global asset trends.
The overall governance logic has completely changed. Trump's policies of tax cuts, defense expansion, and relaxed industry regulation are likely to face obstacles. Expectations for fiscal expansion are cooling, while congressional oversight has greatly increased, with intensified compliance reviews across various industries.
✅ From a market opportunity perspective, new energy, photovoltaics, new energy vehicles, and healthcare are the core beneficiary sectors.
✅ The Democratic Party will continue to stabilize green energy subsidy policies, maximizing certainty in the industry chain policies;
✅ At the same time, healthcare-related policies remain stable, with negative impacts on pharmaceutical companies and healthcare sectors fully priced in, leaving ample room for valuation recovery.
✅ Additionally, expectations of fiscal tightening favor safe-haven assets such as gold and U.S. Treasury bonds.
❌ The pressured sectors are also clear: cryptocurrencies, AI technology, semiconductors, and defense industries face short-term pressure.
❌ Subsequent industry antitrust, compliance regulation, and special investigations will continue to be implemented. Coupled with limited defense budget expansion, sector sentiment and performance are unlikely to see strong momentum in the short term.
This election reshapes U.S. stock market policy expectations, and sector divergence trends are likely to continue.
#美国中期选举进入计票阶段，国会控制权将如何变化？ The House of Representatives has already determined 252 seats. What I'm focusing on are the words "determined seats," not rushing to guess the market direction. I don't play with high leverage, and this kind of news won't change that habit. In the material, Trump calls on voters to "pretend I'm on the ballot," while the seat determinations for both chambers are still ongoing.
My own judgment is: for long-term holding, this news is still just noise for now; for those eager to bet, the impact is probably greater than on the long-term value of assets. The phased seat data can tell me where the election stands, but it can't answer whether there is real demand on-chain or if ordinary people find using crypto assets more convenient.
Here's a point that's easy to confuse: news is important, but that doesn't mean it immediately changes the reasons for holding. According to my speculation, if subsequent seat changes affect the stability of regulatory rules and enforcement, then it might change the long-term operating costs of the industry. At present, this information hasn't provided that level of evidence, and I don't want to speculate further.
Anyway, I'm holding without moving, but I'm not covering my ears either. I will watch to see if there are any substantial changes in the operating environment. The most troublesome thing about leverage is that before you get to verify your judgment, your position might already be unable to hold; I give myself some time and don't rush answers with forced liquidation thresholds.Brothers, holding CORE for so long, I didn't expect to have more and more worries now.
Before, when I checked the market, I only cared about how many points it dropped today and when it would rebound.
Now it's different.
Seeing Bithumb terminate CORE trading support, my first reaction wasn't how much more the price could fall, but what to do with the coins in hand if trading channels continue to decrease in the future?
At least with price drops, you can wait for the market to recover, but if liquidity gets worse and worse, it might not be so easy to buy or sell when you want.
This is what makes me a bit uneasy.
I don't want to cause panic, nor do I think OKEx will necessarily delist CORE.
But after going through this incident, we really should reconsider our positions and risks.
Holding for a long time doesn't mean all risks can be ignored. $CORE Today's close, the biggest feeling is not the lack of opportunity, but that risks keep coming one after another.
BTC +1.4% today, at 77,742. ETH +2.0%, rebounding but volume is questionable.
Strong $ZEC +10.1%, weak $SOL +1.1%, severe divergence, don't chase the highs.
The real suppression is macro: high interest rates, sticky inflation, and repeated expectations of rate cuts. Price volatility is superficial; confidence and liquidity are hit even harder.
Keep an eye on next:
· Nonfarm payroll data (first Friday of each month)
· CPI inflation data (mid-month)
· Federal Reserve meeting minutes (three weeks after meeting)
· PCE price index (end of each month)
· ETF fund flows (every evening)

The platform was genuine, and the communication process appeared like a normal recruitment, but the problem was hidden in the subsequent execution requirements.
This indicates that the security defense now faces a whole process of patiently building trust. The attacker can study the target's professional background and job role, then wait for the right opportunity to proceed to the next step.
I don't quite agree with simplifying such incidents as "an employee's carelessness" in the end. Individual actions need review, and companies also need to explain why, after the office equipment was compromised, permissions and system isolation failed to timely limit the impact.
The preliminary report still requires follow-up independent audits; specific responsibilities and the complete attack chain should await further confirmation. But this is already enough to remind the industry that recruitment, development tools, and daily collaboration are all part of asset security.
Industry collaboration can also move forward: sharing attack methods and malicious project characteristics to help other teams identify the same patterns earlier.
Chasing funds together after the fact is important, but investing in enabling the next engineer to recognize this fake interview beforehand is equally worthwhile. Users' asset security may depend on these usually overlooked operational details.
#加密行业协同守护资产安全 #Скоро отчет Circle, сможет ли рост стейблкоинов принести доход? A 378 percentage point revenue growth slammed onto the chessboard, resulting in a 13.47-point bearish candlestick — this has nothing to do with all the good news being exhausted; it's that the opponent had already planted a sacrificed piece in the grid you thought was foolproof ♟️👑
I've sat in the grandmaster position for so many years, and what I fear most is not the opponent making strange moves, but the structural loosening of the entire pawn chain. The scorecard at the start of this game looked very good: Q1 revenue grew more than threefold year-over-year, Q2 guidance exceeded expectations, and on November 20th, there will be an 8-for-1 stock split. But the market doesn't recognize the scorecard. Nearly a fourfold increase within the year is equivalent to a pawn having advanced from its original square all the way to the opponent's baseline, ready to promote, visible to everyone at the table; at this point, the stock split essentially converts one heavy piece into a row of light pieces, the total value of pieces remains unchanged, the board still has 64 squares, but suddenly the battlefield has many more scattered pawns, liquidity rises, and floating chips increase. True masters never cheer for a pawn that has already promoted; they only care about how many supporting skeletons remain in their pawn structure after the exchange.
What makes me frown even more is not the piece itself, but that Micron and Western Digital are being suppressed along with it. A single pawn being captured is not scary; what's scary is the entire pawn chain being pried apart. The memory chip sector over the past year has been a sharp, forward-pressing pawn structure, but now signs of stacked pawns and isolated pawns are emerging: the growth story has been fully priced in, and every upcoming earnings report must prove it deserves this valuation. Any slight loosening is a pure endgame test after a piece exchange, a contest of whose technique is more solid and who panics first over time.
Now look at the second chessboard beyond the board. The tokenized asset $xPLTR stretches the US stock market's move time into 24 hours; the traditional market close never means the opponent stops moving; when you sleep, they can still push pawns in the dark squares. Under this linkage, one bearish candlestick can be amplified overnight into a two-square time disadvantage, which is the truly valuable initiative.
The opening shows imagination, the middle game shows calculation depth, the endgame shows who still has breath left. Right now, this game has just passed the peak of piece exchanges in the middle game: the bulls hold the trump card of performance but have lost the initiative; the bears have gained substance but haven't cornered the king. The turnover after the stock split is the real checkmate move.
When everyone at the board can calculate the outcome of this game, the result is no longer in the calculation but in who is willing to endure three more rounds in the endgame. #sandiskearningsselloff $MU opened a long position at 822, and now the price is around 855, finally showing some gains on paper.
#AMD data center revenue nearly doubled, with both revenue and guidance exceeding expectations
This time, the long position is not just because of the previous big drop; I value the storage industry's own logic more.
AI servers consume not only GPUs but also a large amount of HBM, server DRAM, and enterprise-grade SSDs. Manufacturers are shifting more capacity to high-margin products, making the supply of regular DRAM and NAND even tighter. Traditional DRAM contract prices are expected to rise 10%–15% in Q4, NAND is expected to rise 15%–20%; Micron also stated that most HBM capacity for 2027 has already been contracted at higher prices.
Simply put, storage is no longer about "whether there is demand," but "who gets the capacity first."
However, I won't blindly go long just because of these stories. Recently, DRAM spot prices have leveled off, and consumer electronics demand is not as strong as AI servers, indicating internal differentiation within the sector. After MU's continuous big drop and rebound, short-term capital sentiment remains fragile; one big bullish candle does not mean the correction is completely over.
Next, let's see if 840 can hold. If it holds, the first resistance is at 875, and after breaking through, look at 900; if it falls below 840 again, I will reduce my position first, and losing 822 means this bottom-fishing logic has temporarily failed.
I am willing to believe in the long-term story of storage, but trading cannot rely solely on faith.
$SNDK $SKHYNIX A single-month spending flow of 141 million USD has poured into the on-chain settlement layer. This is not some glamorous glass curtain wall topping-off ceremony; it signals that the underground three-level load-bearing structure has finally begun to bear real loads. What truly makes me sit up straight is never the rendering on the design drawings, but the string of pressure sensor readings after the concrete is poured—year-on-year growth of seven times and month-on-month increase of 24%, which tells me that the building’s foundation is switching from a static load state to a live load state. From now on, those living in the building and those looking at the blueprints belong to two different construction sites.
The payment card pipeline essentially opens an "emergency exit stairway" for on-chain assets to daily consumption. Previously, stablecoins only circulated within the closed atrium of trading and transfers; now, by connecting to offline scenarios through traditional card networks, it’s equivalent to precisely cutting openings and reinforcing the original shear walls, transforming the closed cylindrical structure into a commercially accessible flow path. This is a fundamental change in spatial nature—if done well, it’s a business upgrade; if not, it’s a structural weak layer. With KAST and Rain card projects accounting for 93% of the spending volume, I must say with the eye of a structural reviewer: two columns bear over 90% of the building’s vertical load. This is not scaling; it’s highly concentrated stress. As the structural lead, my first reaction to this concentration is not to celebrate the topping-off but to immediately pull out the lateral stiffness verification report to check whether these two columns have sufficient ductility reserves and redundant support.
Active users, payment frequency, and retained balances—these three metrics form a complete evaluation system in my eyes for occupancy rate, elevator usage frequency, and property lease renewal rate. No matter how tall the building is, if no one enters, or if those who enter do not generate high-frequency flow, or if the flow does not leave retained funds, it remains an isolated structure, not part of the urban fabric. Growth in spending volume is just the completion of the facade; the true commercial potential depends on whether the interior finishes are continuously used.
Looking further sideways, the market linkage of US stock tokenized assets is very much like two adjacent plots sharing a continuous underground wall. Excavation on one side causes stress redistribution on the other side through the wall and soil layers. On the surface, these are two independent geological survey reports, but in reality, the foundation settlement is coupled. The maturity of on-chain consumption scenarios will change the rhythm of capital inflows and outflows in tokenized equity. This linkage is not additive but resonant, and resonance must be verified according to an overall model, not calculated separately by building.
Two construction teams handle over 90% of the building’s concrete pouring volume. This is not a model of intensive construction; it’s entrusting the entire building’s shear safety to the feel of the same pouring crews—any stoppage at either end will cause the fracture surface to split open along the most stress-concentrated seam. #solanacardspending141mThe sounding curve at 4 a.m. suddenly turns at 3,800 meters, with warm and moist air forcibly lifted by a cold pool— the total scale of on-chain tokenized stocks has reached 3.8 billion USD, breaking records for ten consecutive weeks. This is not afternoon convection; this is a large-scale weather system rewriting isobars.
Ten consecutive weeks of positive anomalies, the biggest risk is looking at a single station only. When all ensemble forecast members swing in the same direction, it indicates the signal is not noise; ten weeks of record-breaking means continuous warm advection, and the surface observation stations no longer flicker sporadically but form a network. Some treat the 3.8 billion USD as a typhoon landfall, but it is more like a tropical depression before a monsoon outbreak: the central pressure hasn't dropped to typhoon level yet, but the peripheral spiral rainbands have already swept the coast.
First, look at observation density. A compliant issuance platform on Solana simultaneously added thirteen US stock products, putting ExxonMobil, Disney, and Uber into the same observation network, pushing the total number of stations to twenty-five. Energy, consumer, and mobility sectors are all covered simultaneously, making local circulation comparable; otherwise, using temperature from a single station to claim the whole city is warming is an over-extrapolation.
Next, look at infrastructure. The NYSE and established transfer agent service providers plan to move shareholder voting and transfer agency onto the chain, which is equivalent to calibrating radar and adding BeiDou to the sounding. Without calibration, even red echoes could be ground clutter; without a closed loop of transfer and voting, tokenized stocks are just highlighted cloud clusters on a satellite map—spectacular to look at but unable to land.
Can broader product supply and stronger infrastructure attract capital and trading demand? Moisture flux determines precipitation potential; product supply is the moisture channel, infrastructure is the boundary layer structure, and capital is warm moist advection. Having all three in place only means the environment is favorable; the triggering mechanism depends on lifting conditions—market-making depth, lending rates, on-chain settlement latency. If any of these fail, convection won't develop.
The current pressure field is not clean. The inversion layer is thick, liquidity flows like a nocturnal low-level jet—arriving fiercely and leaving quickly; during traditional market closures, prices tend to form isolated convective cells, with gaps and spikes like thunderstorm gusts. The linkage of that US stock tokenized asset is more like an urban heat island: the traditional market is the regional background field, the on-chain market is the local microclimate; their superposition can create false warming and amplify declines during cold front passages.
Watch three things: whether on-chain net inflows can continue; the trading depth after new product launches; and the holder structure after transfer and voting services are implemented. After ten consecutive weeks of gains, once wind shear increases and the temperature-dew point spread narrows, the strong convection window will open. Radar echoes are already colored; whether the warning signal upgrades depends on the next sounding. #tokenizedstocksrecord#美国中期选举进入计票阶段，国会控制权将如何变化？ $BTC $ETH $ZEC
Short-term sentiment is bearish, but it might trigger a "reverse signal" on the dip.
The market is currently worried that the Democrats will take control of Congress, while the Republicans have been more crypto-friendly. This fear is already priced in. However, if BTC can hold between $76,500 and $77,000, extreme pessimism might actually trigger a short squeeze rebound; if it falls below $76,000, the panic will be "confirmed." Historically, BTC has risen in the year following midterm elections, but it often dips in the weeks after voting. What are your thoughts on this?The moment when the market suddenly quiets down is often more worth watching than a surge. With the midterm elections approaching, BTC first dropped to around 76,000. Is this panic, or is the uncertainty being priced in early? When I saw this dip last night, my first reaction wasn’t to chase the candlestick but to check how the three cards on Capitol Hill were laid out. The House has a chance to flip blue, the Senate is still in contention, and the real pace is decided by two extremes: whether the Republicans hold both chambers or the Democrats sweep. The former leaves a window for clear legislation like CLARITY, while the latter tends to freeze legislation, pushing regulation more through executive orders. What the market is actually trading now isn’t who shouts louder, but how much the question of "whether the rules can be implemented" has been priced in early. BTC’s role here is very subtle. It’s being treated as a macro risk asset on discount; a divided Congress means one of the looming threats is temporarily set aside, so short-term it might dip before bouncing back; but if the Democrats sweep, short-term pressure will come again, though the ETF money is more focused on actual interest rates and won’t turn just because of political labels. In other words, the first dip doesn’t equal direction; it’s the expectation gap that matters. I’m more concerned about the resilience of ETH and SOL. ETH benefits from "clear regulation plus tokenization," while SOL benefits from high throughput plus risk appetite spillover. If Republicans hold both chambers, ETH and SOL are likely to bounce more violently; if Congress is split, ETH tends to be stable and SOL volatile; if Democrats sweep, SOL’s pullback resilience is greatest, and ETH is relatively resistant. In this transmission chain, altcoins’The House of Representatives has changed hands, with the Republican Party losing control.
Over the next two years, Trump's legislative agenda will enter a stage of tug-of-war negotiations.
Policies that require congressional legislation to be implemented, such as tax cuts, fiscal spending adjustments, and cryptocurrency regulatory frameworks, will face significantly increased resistance and will no longer be pushed unilaterally as before.
For the trading market, the highest priority main storyline remains the government budget and debt ceiling showdown.
The Democratic Party holds the leverage in funding negotiations and can set conditions on spending plans to bargain with the White House.
When bipartisan negotiations reach a deadlock, government shutdowns and debt ceiling crises will become periodic disruptions, directly impacting U.S. Treasury bonds, the U.S. dollar, and risk assets like cryptocurrencies.
PS: A consensus previously shared within the circle is that no matter how heated the public debate is, a substantive U.S. debt default remains a very low probability event. The game is more about creating volatility rather than heading toward an ultimate black swan event.
Additionally, after the Democrats take control of the House committees, oversight tools will be fully activated.
Impeachment may not be the ultimate goal, but hearings and subpoena investigations will become routine, with ongoing scrutiny of policy implementation, cabinet officials, Trump himself, and conflicts of interest involving his family, becoming a persistent noise factor.
Of course, Trump still retains executive order authority and can implement some policies through administrative departments within the existing legal boundaries.
However, introducing new bills and solidifying policies into law is now a challenge on a completely different level. $PEPE PEPE still has that $20 million free chip hanging over its head, and the hacker has only sold a quarter of it so far.
This is quite annoying; whenever there's a rebound, they are motivated to keep cashing out. When buyers try to push the price up, they first have to absorb these zero-cost tokens.
The remaining 75% hasn't been sold yet, so every short-term rally has to face this potential selling pressure. I think it's too early to call a reversal just based on a few green bars.

👇USDC on-chain transaction volume surged 151% Circle's earnings report tonight might be more interesting than expected
Tonight Circle will announce its Q3 earnings report. I think this time, what’s worth paying attention to is not just the stock price but how profitable the stablecoin industry really is.
According to last quarter’s official data, USDC circulation reached $73.3 billion, a 19% year-over-year increase. On-chain transaction volume even hit $14.8 trillion, up 151% year-over-year. But interestingly, the company’s combined revenue and reserve income only grew 7% year-over-year to $701 million.
Why is USDC usage growing so fast, yet revenue hasn’t exploded accordingly?
The key is that Circle still heavily relies on reserve asset income and also needs to pay substantial channel revenue shares. Related costs last quarter reached $412 million.
I actually believe Circle’s real opportunity is to transform USDC from an exchange funding tool into the infrastructure for corporate payments and global settlement.
If in the future it can generate substantial income without relying on interest, then the valuation method for the stablecoin industry might be completely different.
What do you think will be Circle’s biggest growth driver going forward: USDC issuance volume or payment business?
$CRCL #Circle財報在即，穩定幣成長能否轉化為收益？ This time, the story of $BTC was interrupted by the U.S. midterm elections. Preliminary results show that the Democratic Party is likely to control both chambers of Congress, and related bets have put pressure on the market: Bitcoin briefly dropped to $75,700, stock index futures and the dollar also fell, while U.S. Treasury bonds rose.
I tend to see this scene as a risk-off reaction triggered by political uncertainty, rather than bad news unique to the crypto space. Stocks and Bitcoin both under pressure indicate that the stress is not limited to the crypto market; the rise in Treasury bonds shows a preference for safety. The dollar also weakened, reminding me not to explain the crypto price solely by the strength or weakness of the dollar.
The story is not over yet; preliminary results do not equal the final outcome. My speculation is that if election expectations continue to change, cross-market volatility may repeat. The takeaway from this news is: first understand what the market is worried about, and don’t rush to write a long-term narrative based on a single sharp drop.Seeing "seeking cooperation with the Democratic Party," my first reaction wasn't about the market trend, but how long this statement will remain valid.
When politicians talk about cooperation, it's like telling us "start dieting tomorrow"—the attitude is genuine, but execution is another matter. However, the market doesn't care; it only recognizes one thing: the worst-case scenario won't happen for now. So for assets like $BTC, hearing "no more trouble" is enough to push prices up out of respect.
Interestingly, ordinary people often feel the opposite: the news is peaceful, but their accounts show no movement. That's because these things first affect expectations, then prices follow. $ETH hasn't caught up yet, which means this wave is about sentiment, not funds.Midterm Election Vote Counting: The "Seating" Ranking Battle in a Low-Volume Market
Midterm election vote counts are gradually coming in, with the Democratic Party currently leading. At this stage of the market, the hardest part is no longer guessing the direction but how to allocate positions. Everyone understands the big picture; the real difference lies in the "seating" ranking of who is stronger or weaker.
Let's review the three brothers after reassessment:
🔸 $BTC (Anchor Stone): In the past 24 hours, it has been grinding in a low-volume range between 76387 and 78064, with a trading volume of only 10,516 coins. The fear and greed index has returned to 34. Sentiment is slowly recovering, but no one is willing to add real money yet. Currently holding 60% of the base position, the remaining bullets are waiting for the election downside to fully play out.
🔸 $ETH (Flexible Position): Relatively resilient. The ETH/BTC rate has risen to 0.0294, outperforming BTC in a single day. The core support lies in the chip structure: the staking queue is congested, the exit queue is empty, and a large amount of chips are tightly locked. It is currently the best offensive flexible position.
🔸 $ZEC (Independent Defense Line): It retraced to 1250 without losing the 1200 level, showing strong independence. The governance turmoil actually caused nearly 100,000 tokens to exit free circulation, substantially reducing supply. 1200 is its holding lifeline; it will not move decisively unless broken.
The iron rule in a low-volume environment: the strong may not surge immediately, but the weak will definitely fall first.
The seating is already arranged: BTC defends the base, ETH plays the flexible role, and ZEC holds the defense line. The rest is to control your hands and leave it to patience and time!
#CFTC首次放行美国个股永续期货 Why does the market take the phrase "accept the midterm election results" seriously? Because in recent years, the pricing of risk assets in U.S. politics has always included a layer of "tail risk premium"—not fearing who wins, but fearing the uncertainty of the outcome. When the outcome is uncertain, money can only shrink into a few certain assets; now that the parties themselves have ruled out the worst-case scenario, the premium goes down, and valuations naturally rise.
Note, what changes is not the policy but the probability distribution. This is why high beta assets like $BTC often react more strongly to the phrase "dust settles" than to specific policies.
The second layer requires a calm perspective. "Seeking cooperation with the Democratic Party" is a posture, not a commitment. For it to materialize, it depends on budget and legislation, both of which are most prone to delays. If progress stalls, the imagination space for liquidity easing is limited, and assets like $ETH, which rely more on risk appetite expansion, will see reduced elasticity.
So my judgment: in the short term, it is an emotional repair; in the medium term, fundamentals still matter. The decline in political uncertainty provides a cleaner pricing environment, not a ticket to a new bull market. The old structure of BTC leading and altcoins following will repeat, but how far it can go depends on whether funds are truly willing to move out of defensive positions.
One question remains: if "cooperation" ultimately remains just talk, will the market add the premium back, or simply ignore it—after all, over the past two years, everyone’s immunity to political noise has become quite high. Some traders choose to close their $ETH and $SOL positions while continuing to hold $BTC positions. This operation focuses on risk allocation in a crowded environment rather than simply being bearish on Ethereum and SOL or bullish on Bitcoin. Ethereum ($ETH) entry average price is 2243.35, current price 2290.93, profit 42.41%, approximately +28.21U gain, with traders actively locking in this profit. SOL ($SOL) entry average price is 95.79, current price 93.55, loss close to -32.09U, stopped out due to weakening momentum. Bitcoin ($BTC) entry average price is 79432.1, current price 77851, with a floating loss of about -168.16U under 100x leverage, but the margin is still sufficient to support the position. The logic behind this operation comes from the crowded position issue, where many buyers concentrate in the same direction, creating high liquidation risk when prices move against them. $ETH has strong consensus, so profits are realized; $SOL, with crowded buying and weak momentum, is exited directly; Bitcoin ($BTC) is kept as a long-term bet on recovery, relying on margin to withstand drawdowns. It is worth noting that keeping a single high-leverage $BTC position actually concentrates risk rather than diversifies it. When leveraged traders reduce altcoin positions and hold Bitcoin, market liquidity changes, tightening liquidity for mainstream coins and thinning order books for others. Also, the crowded selling issue initially seen in $ETH and $SOL does not appear on $BTC.Another address single-handedly pushed Hakimi up by 10%. Do you remember the last brother who did the same? Let's take a look at the data!
Data changes of the top 40 Hakimi holding addresses on 2026.11.4
alpha: inflow of 16 million tokens
gate1: outflow of 6 million tokens
Lank: inflow of 3 million tokens
New entries in top 40: 5 people total, 1 newly opened position, 4 normal increases
Dropped out of top 40: 5 people total, 4 fully exited, 1 transferred out
Top 40 increased positions: 1 person, 1 transfer in
Top 40 decreased positions: 0 people
$Hakimi Daily Key Summary:
There are 5 new addresses entering the top 40, among which 1 made a real on-chain purchase. Of the 5 who dropped out of the top 40, 4 fully exited, selling about 20 million tokens. The addresses and amounts for top 40 position increases and decreases are very small and negligible. On the exchange side, alpha saw an inflow of about 16 million tokens, gate had a slight outflow of 6 million tokens. The token price has not fluctuated much since the last statistics, only a slight drop of about 5%. The overall market has entered a slow pace, with very little on-chain changes. However, the address that newly opened a position today kept buying for 4 hours, purchasing about $150,000 in total, single-handedly pushing Hakimi up by 10%. Otherwise, Hakimi would most likely have started with 16 million by now. Seeing this brother's purchase, I vaguely remember last time a similar address also single-handedly pushed Hakimi upU.S. midterm election voting enters the pricing window for crypto regulation.
According to reports, the 2026 U.S. midterm elections have entered the voting and counting phase, with changes in the Senate seat distribution. Trump expressed approval of the Democratic Party's victories in the Senate. Several candidates supported by crypto industry PACs are running in this election, and the final results will directly impact stablecoin legislation, market structure bills, and the regulatory stance of the SEC and CFTC on digital assets.
The outlook is neutral to slightly positive but with clear divergence between bullish and bearish views: if the pro-crypto camp expands seats in both the House and Senate, the likelihood of advancing market structure legislation and stablecoin yield rules increases, representing a midterm institutional benefit. Exchanges, DeFi, and stablecoin sectors would be the most direct beneficiaries; if anti-crypto forces control key committees, related legislation will likely continue to be delayed. This is not an intraday catalyst but a pricing benchmark for the U.S. compliance path over the next year.
BTC and ETH will be sensitive to vote counting progress in the short term, with the key being to wait for the final seat distribution to settle—do not mistake mid-count changes in swing states as final signals.

Are you more concerned about the advancement of stablecoin legislation or market structure bills? The Democratic Party's sweep crushed expectations and caused a sell-off, but BTC bounced back.
At 11:00, it hit 75,736 (a 7-week low), and by 13:20 it had recovered to 77,470, with a 24h change of +0.8%.
Spot ETFs have seen net outflows for three consecutive days, but the scale is shrinking: -643 million → -399 million → -116 million USD (as of 11/3 Eastern US time).
The market fears the CLARITY Act will stall, yet selling pressure is decreasing——
Is this a bottom, or a bull trap?
$BTC $BTC ETH $ETH MSTR $COIN Rising after one year does not mean it won't drop now
Since 1950, in 19 midterm elections, the U.S. stock market has risen in the year following the election.
The average increase is 15.1%, the median 14.5%.
How this number is calculated:
This is the increase over 12 months after the election, not the three months after.
For $BTC those three times, the median drop in the first three months after the election was 31%.
Common misreading:
These three times all coincided with two and a half years after the halving.
The cycle and the election overlapped, so it's unclear whose credit it is.
Rising after one year is the direction; the middle period is what holders have to endure.
Legislation is still stuck in the Senate, one vote short.

#$BTC Today's market focus isn't the indexes, but where the money is moving.
The A-share Shanghai Composite only dropped 0.82%, the STAR 50 plunged 3.81%, turnover shrank to 1.7 trillion, with over 3,300 stocks closing in the red. Electronics saw 21 billion withdrawn in one day, communications lost 9.3 billion, and computing hardware took a hit; however, power equipment bucked the trend by absorbing 3.5 billion, while low-position sectors like batteries, food & beverage, and insurance pushed upward. Money squeezed out from the most crowded tech hardware sector and moved to places no one is fighting over.
Last night, US stocks also went their separate ways. The Nasdaq rose 0.83%, the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index jumped 2.63%, Nvidia gained 2.29%, and SanDisk nearly 5%. But Apple fell 1.9%, Tesla dropped 1.32%, and the Dow was dragged into the red. Those buying chips and those buying Apple did not have the same trading day.
$BTC hovered around 77,000, the fear index dropped eleven points in one day to 26, ETFs saw over 800 million USD redeemed in six days, with BlackRock alone redeeming 400 million. Yet on-chain whales reversed and increased holdings to 3.03 million coins, the strongest accumulation since February. $ETH also had an address buying 37 million USD worth in five hours at an average price of 2279, and hasn't stopped yet.
Those in suits are selling, those with cold wallets are picking up; the money hasn't left, it's just changing seats. 如果民主党同时拿下参众两院，特朗普政府剩余任期的立法空间会明显收窄。准确说，总统的宪法权力没变，但把政策变成法律更难了 国内重大法案容易卡住 税改、移民、能源和医保等大动作，都要经过国会。众议院掌握拨款权，参议院负责审议；一院反对，法案就很难推进。 总统可以否决法案，但两院各有三分之二支持时，仍能推翻否决。现实里，这通常需要跨党派共识，门槛很高。 预算会成为主要博弈工具 新财年拨款、政府运作资金和对外援助，都由国会控制。民主党可以把经费限制写进拨款法案，影响相关项目执行。 所以接下来的重点，会从“谁提出法案”转向“钱拨给谁、附带什么条件”。 行政命令会用得更多 总统仍可继续使用行政命令、外交权和特赦权。这些办法速度快，但稳定性弱：下一任总统可能撤销，联邦法院也可能叫停，花钱的项目还依赖国会拨款。 监督与人事也会收紧 参议院多数党掌握委员会日程，对法官、内阁和机构人选有更大影响力。众议院还能启动调查、听证和弹劾程序，白宫应对国会的时间会增加。 目前较稳妥的判断是：众议院结果已基本明朗，参议院仍在计票；若民主党最终拿下单席优势，美国将进入典型的“分立政府”，执政重心也会从主动立法转向防守、Seeing this, I want to give newcomers a lesson: two people solving the same problem with the same answer does not mean the answer has been verified. When I look at multiple people going long in monitoring, what I care most about is whether the risk is truly diversified, not just that there are a few more votes in favor.
This time, two wallets used 10x leverage to go long on ZEC within a short period, totaling 369.46 coins, with a nominal value of about $434,400. 📌 Assuming the position remains unchanged, if the price moves 1% in the opposite direction, ignoring fees and other costs, the combined unrealized loss of the two positions would be about $4,344, which will not offset each other just because they belong to two different wallets.
My judgment is: this only shows the direction is consistent, it cannot be taken as double confirmation. The same coin and same direction bear the same price fluctuation; monitoring also does not tell us whether each has hedged or how long they plan to hold. The most common misconception among newcomers is treating the number of wallets as independent evidence. If these two positions were changed to one long and one short, how would the risk differ? If anything is unclear, leave a message for Old Ma.$ZEC ZEC just made a blatant move on the market.
A whale directly spent 3.8 million USD to buy spot, then immediately placed 10 million USD worth of long contracts.
This is a typical strategy of building a base with spot and adding positions with contracts.
The spot market drains liquidity to support the price, and the low leverage clearly shows no fear of a shakeout.
With the NU7 upgrade coming next week, the clustered shorts in the market are most likely ready fuel, ready to be squeezed out by this dual-line push at any time.

👇$ARB
Scaling networks have cheap transactions, so why might the token valuation still lag behind usage?
Between network usage and token value capture, there are fee distribution, governance rights, and supply changes in between. Judging ARB cannot be based solely on transaction count.
If the increase in activity mainly comes from subsidies, retention after subsidies end becomes critical; if real fees and sustained users improve in sync, usage growth is more solid. If the network is busy but no explainable token demand forms, I would remain cautious about the valuation.Midterm election voting has ended; will the US-Iran situation still develop in a positive direction? Simply looking at the current dynamics of the US-Iran situation, there is a major premise: the US midterm elections finished voting at 8 a.m. today, so the idea that Trump would promote US-Iran peace talks to boost votes can basically be dismissed! During the negotiations, the Strait of Hormuz in Iran was suspected of being attacked, and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard continues to attack cargo ships—why is this? #美伊谈判未突破，油价为何单日跌逾7%？ It's very simple: whether in the US or Iran, domestically or within the military, the hardline hawks prevail. Before a final agreement is reached and before orders from the top levels of government to restrain them, the military hardliners will proactively launch attacks under the pretexts of "defensive" or "regulatory" actions. This also indicates that strong hardline pressures exist domestically in both the US and Iran. What is the attitude of the US and Iran toward the Qatar agreement draft? Iran responded first with a tough stance, stating that the negotiations are not optimistic. The core threshold remains who acts first; Iran believes the US should first meet Iran's conditions before Iran can fulfill the agreement. On the US side, according to (rumors), on November 3, Forum Express cited sources from Qatar media Al-Araby Al-Jadeed saying the US has accepted a memorandum of understanding draft submitted by Qatar, and Saudi Arabia and the UAE have also been informed; the draft involves concessions on Iran's nuclear issue and partial release of frozen assets. Currently, Iran remains tough (which may also serve its domestic political direction), and non-mainstream media are also releasing$FIL FIL's actual daily storage revenue is only 4 yuan, yet its valuation is still hanging in the tens of billions.
This mechanism is so bizarre. Miners can't directly use the tokens they mine to pay for electricity or hardware costs; the first thing they do after receiving them is to dump them on the secondary market to exchange for fiat.
The more actively the business runs, the heavier the selling pressure from dumping to realize cash.
On the market, smart money shorts have pushed their positions up to $12 million, firmly holding the bulls halfway up the mountain.
In this kind of situation where it's just bleeding without any buying support, what can cause a rebound?

👇今天最值得盯的不是$BTC的横盘，而是一个18%的单日暴涨背后藏着的结构性错位：玉树流通盘与长鑫存储几乎相当，短期都没有新增解禁筹码，但前者上市以来已跌去60%，做空情绪被榨到极致；后者却在AI叙事拖累下高位横盘，明年年初还压着一波解禁。这个反差，才是多空组合真正的锚点。 我的操作逻辑很直接：做多玉树，同时做空等值的长鑫存储，思路类似买特斯拉、空SpaceX——不是赌方向，而是赌两个标的的“情绪弹性”不对称。玉树的空头已经没多少下探空间，60%的跌幅把恐慌盘洗得差不多了，任何边际买盘都能撬动剧烈反弹，今天18%就是证据。长鑫那边恰恰相反，高位横盘意味着获利盘没走，解禁预期像悬顶之剑，AI板块一回调它就被动跟跌，空头逻辑反而顺畅。 关键在于资金效率。这种对冲结构可以用几倍杠杆放大，两边保证金互相对冲，占用资本远低于单边裸多。玉树反弹时多头端吃满弹性，长鑫回落时空头端再补一刀，双向贡献收益。今天玉树拉升，组合整体就是正反馈。 多数人只看到玉树涨了18%就追高，却忽略了它和长鑫之间的流通盘对等关系——这才是定价错位的根源。当两个标的筹码结构接近、情绪位置却天差地别时，价差回归的概率远高于单边Order Book Strength Ranking

After amplifying orders for both tokens, slippage for both buying and selling increased significantly, with $AKE showing the highest simulated slippage at the 100,000 scale.
$AKE simulated slippage for 10,000 scale buy/sell is 0.26%/0.29%, and for 100,000 scale is 1.24%/1.19%. After amplifying orders, slippage on both entry and exit sides increased noticeably.
$AXIS simulated slippage for 10,000 scale buy/sell is 0.22%/0.22%, and for 100,000 scale is 0.98%/0.95%. This is a cost table, not a direction; simultaneous increase in cost on both buy and sell sides indicates overall shallow depth.There is a pretty important change in US regulation today 👀
CFTC has officially approved single-stock perpetual futures, and qualified US registered trading venues can now launch these products
I think this is worth discussing from Hyperliquid's perspective:
In the past, perpetual contracts were mainly active in the crypto market, and Hyperliquid further expanded this trading model to stocks and other traditional assets
Now US regulators are also starting to allow single-stock perpetual contracts into the domestic market
This indicates that perpetual contracts are gradually breaking through the boundaries of the crypto market
But for $HYPE, things are not that simple 🤨
On one hand, the product model has gained regulatory approval, and the entire market may continue to expand
On the other hand, compliant domestic US exchanges may also enter this field, making future competition even more intense
What I’m more concerned about is whether traditional financial institutions will choose to build their own trading venues or continue to use on-chain infrastructure
This might be more worth studying than short-term price fluctuations
#CFTC首次放行美国个股永续期货 I have been saying before that there is a major negative overhang in the crypto space: Trump is very likely to lose his influence in the midterm elections, and then the US will tighten policies on the crypto industry. So I am waiting for this dip to buy the dip. Today, the results of the midterm elections are gradually coming out, so let's talk about the subsequent trend of $BTC: Before discussing the trend, let me first explain what the midterm elections are about and what it means for Trump to lose influence, so it will be easier to discuss the price movements later. 1. Trump losing influence will bring panic to the crypto space This midterm election is for electing members of Congress. Since it happens in the middle of Trump's 4-year term, it is called the midterm election. This time, the seats up for election are 435 in the House of Representatives and 35 in the Senate. The House has a total of 435 members, each serving a 2-year term, so all seats are up for election this time; the Senate has 100 members, each serving a 4-year term, and 35 seats are up for election this time. In the US, there is a separation of powers: Congress (Senate + House) controls the budget, legislation, personnel approval, and oversight/impeachment; the President controls the executive and military; the courts handle the judiciary. Trump is a Republican. Before the midterm elections, the Republicans held the advantage in Congress: Senate Republicans to Democrats = 218 : 214 (plus 1 independent, 2 vacancies); House Republicans to Democrats = 53 : 45 (plus 2 independents). But in this midterm election, many people are dissatisfied with Trump (for example, the Iran war has caused living costs to riseGrinding for three days! Bulls and bears confront each other, quietly waiting for the first breakthrough ⚔️
Early market check: $BTC has returned to oscillate around 77,000, the previous momentum from 76,300 to 78,000 has already faded.
Market polarization: ETF outflows hit 643 million in a single day, a new high for June; Strategy continues to increase positions, acquiring another 811 BTC, holdings approaching 850,000 BTC, bulls and bears locked in a fierce battle.
The market is waiting for a catalyst: midterm elections or the fallout from Binance withdrawal issues. Withdrawal panic has eased, but funds remain cautious and hesitant to enter.
Indicators are nearing oversold, but that doesn’t mean an immediate rebound. Long-term chips are locked up, exchange inventories are low, those who wanted to sell have basically exited, purely grinding for direction.
This week’s lifeline is 76,000. Non-farm payrolls are key: only if data disappoints is there a chance for a rebound; if support breaks, look down to 73,000.
At this stage, control your hands, watch more and act less, don’t rush to bottom-fish, and don’t chase shorts.Based on the disclosed $2.51 million scale, the largest single liquidation of about $1.13 million accounts for approximately 45%; the total amount is marked as "at least," so the actual proportion could be even lower. What concerns me most is this concentration: a series of liquidation records looks lively, but the impact of large positions on the amount may be greater than the number of trades, so it cannot be directly interpreted as a widespread short squeeze failure.
① In the past hour, OKEx ETH USDT perpetual contracts recorded a total of 100 liquidations, with the largest single liquidation around $1.13 million. The number of liquidations does not equal the number of traders, nor does it imply similar position sizes; I would not interpret this as 100 independent players all misjudging the market direction simultaneously.
② Short positions account for 100% of the liquidation amount, with long positions approximately zero. This indicates the direction of forced exits within this window but does not reveal how much buying interest exists off-exchange, nor does it directly prove that the upward trend can continue.
③ This data only covers the past hour and comes from OKEx's public liquidation records. From another perspective, the shorter the window, the more easily a single large liquidation record can skew perception. Using this to judge a sustained trend, I think the evidence is insufficient.
My judgment is that this looks more like a signal of a localized leverage squeeze rather than proof that the trend has been confirmed. If subsequent liquidation amounts decline and the price remains strong, I will raise my evaluation of this rally. First distinguishing between forced liquidations and active demand is a reminder I give myself.
