Just a quick update
After seeing Binance hacked last Saturday, the market didn't continue to break down, so I closed all short positions. The plan was to close positions first to sort things out and pave the way for the upcoming rebound across various markets. I had been mostly short, but now to take the opposite direction, I need to switch my mindset.
Starting with crypto, I subjectively think it's currently in a position that's neither up nor down.
- On one hand, I don't dare to keep being bearish. I've been making money shorting for the past year, but I don't believe I can keep profiting from a single strategy. Although shorts have still been profitable in recent weeks, the holding experience has been terrible, feeling like walking a tightrope every day.
- On the other hand, I'm not bullish either. US interest rates are high, and no new funds are coming in. Many are hoping for a breakthrough and pullback in 2023, but it seems the current capital preference is different. Just look at Robinhood's last quarter earnings report to see how cold crypto is, and there's no sign of improvement for now.
- So, I remain on the sidelines in crypto, but of course, if a huge bullish candle appears, I will change my view immediately.
Regarding US stocks, I haven't made any moves either. Semiconductors haven't found a bottom yet. I'm waiting for a new volume-supported low in QQQ and memory stocks; if it doesn't come, I'd rather give up on this rebound. For bottom-fishing AI, there are two approaches: one is to find those with big drops, the other is to find those with good recent earnings. I haven't decided yet.
For A-shares and Hong Kong stocks, I mentioned last night on X that I bought CQQQ and KSTR. Looking back today, I almost bought at the lowest point and have already made some gains. #AMD Financial Report Outlook: Progress in Commercializing the HeliosAI System AMD数据中心收入近乎翻倍，苹果营收超预期却毛利率指引承压——同一周两份财报，市场给出完全不同的定价。真正被交易的从来不是已公布的数字，而是“过去”与“未来”之间那道预期裂缝。📊 财报季里最容易被混为一谈的两件事：已实现的经营结果，回望过去，回答公司上一程实际跑得如何，包含营收、净利润、EPS、毛利率这些既成事实；业绩指引，眺望前方，回答管理层预计下一程怎么走，涵盖下一季度或全年的收入、EPS、利润率与CapEx，可以是具体数字、区间，也可以只是趋势判断。前者是账本，后者是承诺。 博弈发生在两者与市场预期的交叉口。四种组合决定叙事方向：结果与指引双双超预期，资金追涨；结果过关但指引失速，涨幅回吐；结果失手却指引亮眼，可能低开高走；双双不及预期，杀估值与杀情绪同步上演。苹果本季正是“结果过关、指引承压”的样本——营收超预期，但下一季毛利率指引迫使市场重新定价未来，$AAPL 的波动不在过去而在前瞻。AMD站在另一侧，数据中心收入近翻倍，营收与指引均超预期，$AMD 拿到的是过去与未来的双重确认。 这里藏着一个常被低估的机制：达标不等于股价不动。市场定价的是实际结果与先前预期之间的落差，Event window landed, BTC shows a deep V rebound on the 15-minute chart, approaching 79,500, with shorts fiercely attacked above 78,000: As the price rapidly surged, a large number of short positions hit the liquidation line, forcing the new risk line to move above 79,000. The price is sprinting, shorts are liquidating, but product-side funds continue to bleed.
$BTC: 79,500. A 24-hour surge of over 2.3% from the low of 75,690. Related products continue to see net outflows, with leading institutional funds still withdrawing, and inflows in a few products being negligible. This rapid rise is mainly driven by short covering and leverage liquidations in the derivatives market; spot active buying has not significantly increased.
$ETH: 2,356. Also showing a strong V-shaped rebound, with a single-day gain of 2.52%. Related products continue to experience outflows. However, exchange reserves remain at historic lows, with some institutions accumulating on dips. Funds are withdrawing on the product side, locking on-chain, and the chip battle is intensifying.
$SOL: 94.84. Reached a high of 95.07, up 1.21%. Related products show signs of net inflows, one of the few directions still receiving funds recently. But on-chain data shows large addresses continue to deposit SOL into exchanges. Supply-side selling pressure remains, testing the resilience of the rebound.

#美国中期选举：民主党赢得国会两院控制权 $GRT (The Graph)
BLOCKCHAIN DATA INFRASTRUCTURE DESERVES MORE ATTENTION!
$GRT represents an important part of decentralized blockchain infrastructure. The Graph's migration of production query traffic toward its decentralized network strengthens its utility narrative. Traders should monitor actual network usage and demand for indexing services instead of focusing exclusively on short-term price fluctuations.
#TheGraph #GRT #DeFi #Web3 #OKXOrbit$SEI I (Sei)
SEI'S NEXT UPGRADE COULD CHANGE THE CONVERSATION!
$SEI is attracting attention after its SIP-6 Autobahn consensus proposal cleared quorum, advancing the Giga upgrade roadmap. The market is watching whether technical progress translates into stronger ecosystem activity. Watch trading volume and price confirmation rather than relying on upgrade expectations alone.
#Sei #SEI #Crypto #Blockchain #OKXOrbit$CAP
The top gainer is CAP, up 24%. I scrolled through the two-hour news from start to finish, and there was nothing related to it.
Opened at 0.0735, at 22:00 the candle pulled from 0.09185 to 0.09398, closed at 0.09094, now at 0.0911. The previous three 1H candles each had just over 30,000 contracts, but the two before 22:00 jumped directly to 1,007,000 and 1,397,000 contracts.
Looking at the pool again. OKX perpetual positions are only $4.94 million, 24h volume is 451 million tokens, roughly $40 million, with an eightfold turnover. The funding rate is 0.0387%, nearly four times the 0.01% baseline, settled every four hours.
I usually avoid this kind of structure. No news, no depth, bulls still have to pay four times the baseline to hold positions, and the last volume has already halved from 1.39 million to 720,000, with the price retreating from 0.09398.
The more it rises sharply, the fewer buyers there are when exiting. If I were to play, I'd only take a tiny position, with a stop loss set just below that volume spike candle.
#美国中期选举：民主党赢得国会两院控制权 After multiple divergences, the $BTC price dropped and retraced near 78000, giving bulls a second chance to enter. The current large bullish candle price has reached 79200, and the long position has successfully taken profit.【30m Short-term Review】The market is forcing a short squeeze across the board, avoid mindless chasing of highs!
Currently, BTC, ETH, and SOL are highly synchronized in their 30-minute chart movements, all in a strong bullish state. BTC is leading the rally, approaching the 80,000 mark, ETH is following, while SOL is relatively weaker (momentum ranking: BTC > ETH > SOL).
From a technical perspective:
All three major coins show a perfect bullish moving average alignment, MACD golden cross with volume expansion, accompanied by volume increase in the bottom green bars, indicating clear entry of major funds.
Trading strategy:
Attention! Prices are currently hugging the upper Bollinger Band, short-term indicators are overbought. Do not chase longs at market price now, as it is very easy to buy at a short-term peak.
For those with no positions: Be patient and wait for a pullback to the MA20 or SAR support level (e.g., around BTC 78,500) to stabilize before entering longs.
For holders: Take profits in batches and move stop-loss lines up to protect gains. Follow the trend and strictly control leverage!$ETH
A little over two hours ago, I just wrote that ETH couldn't hold above 2330, saying the bulls weren't willing to pay. I was just proven right.
At 22:00, the candle surged from 2318.15 straight up to 2337.95, closing at 2336.71, with a volume of 1.33 million contracts, while the previous candle had only 690,000. The current price is 2333, with a 24h high of 2338.87.
The strange thing is the fee rate. When I checked, it was 0.0066%, now it dropped to 0.00396%, only 40% of the 0.01% benchmark. Open interest is 1.547 billion, exactly the same as two hours ago.
The price went up, but leverage didn't follow, and the bulls are paying even less. I've seen this kind of rise before; it's not new money coming in, but the sell orders that were pressing down have withdrawn, and the shorts have capitulated.
So how long this rally can hold, don't just look at the candlesticks, watch if open interest increases in the next hour. If the price keeps rising but OI stays flat, 2330 is just paper-thin.
#美国中期选举：民主党赢得国会两院控制权 Last night someone asked me: If the Democrats win, how will the crypto market move?
My judgment is simple: first short, then long.
Today BTC staged a deep V-shaped reversal, quickly pulling back from $75,738 to $78,400.
After the election results were finalized, the market first traded on the panic of tighter regulation, then realized that Democratic control of Congress does not mean Trump loses executive power. Future policy battles will be more complex, but a full crackdown on the crypto industry is not that easy.
After the panic selling subsided, bottom-fishing funds entered, combined with short covering, and the rebound appeared just like that.
The market’s greatest skill is to make you panic first, then regret it.
#DemocratsWinCongress From ETH to BTC: How Hackers Convert Frozen Assets into Unfrozen Assets
The core tactic of laundering stolen coins on-chain is to escape the freeze-enabled ecosystem and transfer into assets without freezing permissions. Most stolen coins are initially concentrated on the Ethereum chain, whether stablecoins or ETH, which are easily blacklisted and frozen by project teams, exchanges, or on-chain risk controls, with funds subject to interception and recovery at any time.
The standard laundering path for hackers is clear and efficient: first, use DeFi lending platforms like AAVE to collateralize and borrow against the stolen frozen assets to swap them for native ETH, avoiding direct transfer risk control tracking. Then, leveraging decentralized cross-chain protocols like THORChain, they batch convert ETH into BTC.
The key lies in the fundamental difference of the assets: ETH remains under Ethereum’s strict regulation and blacklist-enabled ecosystem, while BTC, based on the UTXO model and lacking a centralized issuing authority, has no institution with freezing or blacklisting rights.
After completing the ETH-to-BTC cross-chain swap, the funds completely exit the Ethereum risk control system, greatly increasing the difficulty of on-chain traceability. This is the core reason why hackers prioritize transferring to BTC in many recent large-scale theft cases, and it is also a chain security risk that ordinary users need to be vigilant about. $PUMP PUMP quietly surged 11% in this wave, and the most interesting thing on the market is that the contract positions have been stuck for more than ten hours without moving at all.
The funding rate has also been hovering at an extremely low level of 0.005%.
The price rose by 10%, the leverage hasn't moved at all, and all the buying is in spot.
The market without leverage manipulation is moving very strongly, not afraid of contract flash crashes or stampedes, the upward space has opened.

👇A Spot of Red Among the Flowers: SPCX on the Verge of Breaking Issue Price, Musk's Political Price?
In the pre-market of US stocks in the watchlist, everything is red except SPCX, which fell 5% against the trend, approaching the issue price of 135, becoming a "spot of green among the flowers." Has the entire US capital market started collectively shorting Musk?
After the Democrats swept both chambers, the market's concern is no longer just about policy shifts but about a "political reckoning" targeting Musk's business empire. If Congress initiates reviews of government contracts or even targets rumors of a Tesla and SpaceX merger, this would undoubtedly be a Damocles sword hanging overhead.
Old Musk, old Musk, you have long said that businessmen should not easily touch politics. Is the price now too high? A few days ago, the former president was still stirring up trouble. Looking at the current situation, Musk might really have to pay for his "political gamble." #美国中期选举：民主党赢得国会两院控制权 The spatula just tapped the edge of the iron pot, and the rich broth of October's data started boiling: the manufacturing sentiment index is 55.5, hotter than the expected 54.7, but the price sub-index at 75.2 is still burning the pot's bottom. This burnt aroma isn't good news; it's the smell of inflation not cooling down. 👨🍳🍳🌶️
The Federal Reserve holds interest rates at 3.75%-4.00%, like temporarily moving the main pot off the high heat; September's core personal consumption expenditure price year-on-year is 3.1%, with a layer of oil still floating on the surface. The market gives about a 70% chance of a 25 basis point rate hike in December, meaning 70% of the stove burners in the kitchen could be turned up at any time. At 1:30 PM on November 6, the October employment report will be served: nonfarm payrolls are expected to increase by about 60,000, with the unemployment rate steady at 4.2%. When this dish is served, government bonds are the broth, the dollar is the salt, and risk assets are the final sprinkle of scallions; if the heat is off, the flavor changes completely. If the data pushes rate hike expectations higher, bonds will reduce their yield, the dollar will tighten further, and risk assets—the side dish—will need to be rearranged; conversely, if employment softens, the broth might finally be taken off the heat.
$xNFLX's linkage here is more like the caramel decoration on the plate's edge; when the main pot heats up, it curls first. Mainstream coins are the main course, altcoins are the seasoning, and leveraged contracts are the extra spicy chili—too much doesn't enhance aroma, it burns through the stomach. The price sub-index at 75.2 hasn't cooled, rates are stuck high, and the December rate hike expectation is like a spoonful of hot oil hanging on the pot's edge; $xNFLX here is more like hot oil drizzled over risk assets, burning the edges first when the heat rises. The kitchen fears the main dish not being properly stewed and the seasoning overpowering the flavor; the same goes for positions—if the main dish isn't well matched, too much extra spicy chili leaves the whole pot just choking. The employment report's serving bell tests not knife skills or garnishing, but temperature control: 60,000 nonfarm jobs is the portion size, 4.2% unemployment is the saltiness, and 75.2 price sub-index is the spice cost; if these three are out of balance, the taste layers of bonds, the dollar, and risk assets immediately separate.
My pot recognizes only one rule: if the price sub-index doesn't cool down, this spoonful of chili oil will be poured into the pot again in December. #usjobsreportinfocusBrothers, this non-farm payrolls event is clearly a slaughterhouse trap that leaves nothing behind. Don’t blindly guess whether the data is good or bad; the expected value is only 60,000, this is a death trap. If the data exceeds 100,000, it means the economy is hot, interest rate hike expectations will soar, and BTC will crash instantly. If it’s just 20,000 to 30,000, that’s a hard landing recession, and risk assets will still die. Regardless of good or bad, the main players can use this as an excuse to shake out positions, so don’t bet on the direction.
Look at $BTC, today’s slight rise is just the calm before the storm. The market has already priced in economic weakness; once the data shows any resilience, and US Treasury yields rise, all risk assets will get hit. There’s heavy resistance above, and ETFs don’t provide long-term liquidity. The low-volume sideways trading is preparing for a sharp move on non-farm payrolls night, so don’t be cannon fodder.
Look at $ETH, the follower that can’t get out of the mud. ISM manufacturing PMI hit 55.5, and the price index remains high at 75.2, showing strong inflation stickiness. Capital simply dares not rush into high-valuation assets, and the Ethereum ecosystem has no breakout points. Once BTC violently shakes out positions on non-farm payrolls, ETH will definitely fall without a bottom; don’t get itchy watching it sideways and try to bottom fish.
Look at $XAUT gold, this is the truly confident hard currency. Non-farm payrolls can only affect short-term sentiment and cannot change the fact that inflation is not dead. With the ISM price index so high, central bank buying is firmly supporting it. No matter how the data comes out, gold’s resilience far exceeds that of the crypto space; holding gold in this chaos is the most reliable.
In summary, don’t be fooled by the non-farm payrolls expected numbers; this is a trap set by the main players to kill both longs and shorts. #美國10月非農前瞻：就業增長或牽動12月升息預期 From ETH to BTC: How Hackers Convert Frozen Assets into Unfrozen Assets

$CRCL's total revenue and reserve income for Q3 reached $865 million, a year-on-year increase of 17%, with a net profit of $226 million. However, breaking it down, reserve income was only $658 million, down 8% year-on-year; of the other $207 million in income, $182 million came from the ARC token presale. Looking only at revenue growth, it is easy to overestimate the growth of the USDC business itself.
The average circulation of USDC grew 8% year-on-year to $73.3 billion, but the reserve yield dropped to 3.54%, and the declining interest rates are compressing Circle's core interest income. On the positive side, USDC's on-chain transaction volume in Q3 reached $13.9 trillion, a 49% year-on-year increase, and the minting and redemption volume also set a quarterly record of $208 billion, showing that payment and settlement demand is indeed expanding.
My long-term view on Circle's business is positive; stablecoin use cases are expanding, but short-term profitability cannot be judged solely by USDC scale—it also depends on interest rates and distribution costs. After this adjustment, the market should focus more on whether Circle's core business can sustain growth excluding ARC presale income. The stablecoin business is growing, but the interest rate benefits are no longer as lucrative as before.

#DailyOrbit Under the surgical light, the greatest fear after cardiac arrest is not the incision, but insufficient extracorporeal circulation perfusion—Oracle's financing plan is pushing the market onto the extracorporeal circulation machine. First, look at the vital signs: cloud infrastructure revenue grew 121% year-over-year to about $7.4 billion, like a high-output circulation with cardiac output soaring, superficially hot to the touch. But the real complaint is not heat, but perfusion. Data center capital expenditures have already exceeded operating cash flow to meet computing power demand, with quarterly free cash flow around negative $5.4 billion—this is not just an ugly number on the blood pressure monitor, it means the tissue is undergoing anaerobic metabolism, and lactic acid is rising.
The $20 billion financing is split in half: $10 billion in common stock, $10 billion in bonds. In surgical terms, one side rapidly infuses fluid to dilute the blood, the other increases afterload. Equity expansion causes shareholder dilution, like large volumes of crystalloid diluting hemoglobin concentration during surgery; rising debt increases interest costs, like adding another constricting ring to already spasming blood vessels. Preload seems restored, but oxygen delivery may not improve. Elevated central venous pressure does not equal sufficient volume, and good blood pressure does not guarantee adequate tissue perfusion; this is the most easily misjudged illusion in the perioperative period.
Financing supports capital expenditures, equivalent to first putting the patient on extracorporeal circulation to keep the operating table stable, but the circulation circuit itself consumes platelets and coagulation factors. High revenue growth is myocardial contractility, capital expenditure is oxygen consumption, negative free cash flow is insufficient coronary perfusion pressure; when these three are mismatched, demand ischemia occurs. More troublesome, capital expenditure is rigid, like extracorporeal circulation that cannot be stopped once started; stopping it causes ischemia in the computing power myocardium, continuing it causes blood damage and inflammatory responses to accumulate. Financing only buys more time on the machine, not correcting the imbalance between oxygen supply and demand. If debt costs rise, it equals coronary spasm; if equity dilution continues, it equals reduced oxygen-carrying capacity after blood dilution. Token price linkage on the monitor is just ischemic changes on the surface ECG, indicating ischemia but not localizing the lesion.
I never open the chest just because the monitor alarms. First, I check perfusion pressure, lactate, mixed venous oxygen saturation, and stroke volume. Oracle's problem is not lack of revenue growth, but that growth requires massive capital infusion; not that financing is unfeasible, but that financing shifts risk from cash flow to shareholders and creditors. The $20 billion is not a hemostat, but the flow knob of extracorporeal circulation: turning it up maintains perfusion but increases blood damage and inflammation. The token's price drop is just pale skin; the real shock index lies in the ratio of negative free cash flow to capital expenditure; when perfusion demand exceeds intrinsic cardiac output, any financing is only temporary pacing, not new myocardium. #oracle20bfinancing Data center revenue surged 97% year-over-year — this is not a tactical pawn sacrifice, this is Wang Yi's entire diagonal line being torn open, and the opponent's pawn structure collapsed directly in the 18th move of the midgame.
Su Zifeng openly stated at the conference call that growth will be at least 80% by 2027, effectively revealing her counterplay in advance: she laid the endgame map on the table. Most people focus only on the single-quarter numbers, but I focus on the structure after piece exchanges. This edge pawn on the data center path is evolving into a queen, shifting the entire board's profit center forward. Total revenue increased 45% to $13.377 billion, adjusted EPS of 2.09, and next quarter guidance around $17 billion all exceeded expectations — every square is a controlled center, not a coincidental tactical flash.
But grandmasters never look at only their own side. The linkage of tokenized US stock targets is essentially the same piece's incarnation on different boards. It does not create new pieces, only amplifies leverage and sentiment. When the spot midgame gains an advantage, the mirrored board moves first, gets restless first, and first gives you an illusory time advantage. Those with insufficient calculation depth mistake the time advantage for a piece advantage, then follow the opponent's rhythm to play a fast game — following the faster side often means being dragged into the opponent's prearranged tactical combination.
The real dark line is concentration. A 97% growth rate means this pawn on the path has advanced very deep, and the deeper it goes, the more it depends on supply lines and subsequent piece support. Any capital expenditure piece exchange, such as a slight change in the rhythm of ultra-large customer orders, can instantly turn this path pawn into an isolated pawn. Looking at the guidance and the 80% in 2027 is essentially judging whether the opponent is willing to continue exchanging pieces. The current market offers a time advantage, not a piece advantage; and time advantage is the easiest to evaporate in the endgame.
Now look at the blind spot of the mirrored board: token prices follow expectations, not cash flow, and expectations are the easiest thing to be checkmated. The moment quarterly positive news is realized is often the most tempting moment for a sacrifice tactic — throwing out already realized good news as bait to loosen the opponent's pawn structure. The truly profitable players do not play move by move, but have calculated twenty moves ahead before placing a piece, starting to consider piece exchanges when good news lands, rather than adding pieces.
Endgame judgment: the 80% growth promise is a promotion license, but promotion requires the path pawn to safely reach the baseline; if any square in between is cut off, the entire line is invalid. The data center is the center of this board; if the center is controlled, the flanks have meaning; if the center is counter-controlled, all offensives are empty. The advantage side indeed holds the data center, but the situation is not closed yet and remains a reversible midgame.
I do not look at the 97%, I look at how many controlled calculation steps remain behind that 80% promise — once calculation breaks, the piece becomes isolated. #AMDQ3DataCenterUp97% Ecological Specimen Preservation: The "False Prosperity" Warning of the CORE Public Chain
In the vision of some steadfast supporters, the CORE public chain may still be operational, but under objective data scrutiny, it resembles a carefully preserved static specimen. Statistics show that although its ecosystem list registers about three hundred contracts, after excluding "zombie applications" that rely solely on templates for rapid deployment and aim to exploit airdrops, only a dozen or so DApps truly have sustained capital deposits, real user interactions, and stable transactions.
This illusion of prosperity is fully exposed in on-chain liquidity data: the DEX once showed an astonishing number of transactions, but the actual daily transaction amount was only $148. A large number of script-driven addresses interact back and forth within blocks, creating a lively trading facade; however, once incentives stop, funds and users quickly exit. Blocks continue to be produced as usual, contract records become stagnant and dead. This is not an organically growing ecosystem but an "on-chain idle operation" lacking effective economic activity. #美国中期选举：民主党赢得国会两院控制权 Lay this quarterly report over the structural diagram, and the first thing you see isn’t the revenue curve, but the load-bearing system’s force transfer path: on-chain USD stablecoin trading volume surged 49%, like the lobby’s foot traffic suddenly doubling, forcing a complete recalculation of floors, corridors, and fire evacuation routes; reserve income dropped 8%, equivalent to a basement rent recession, exposing the elasticity of the cash flow main beam. Total revenue rose 17% year-over-year to $865 million, but net profit only increased 5% to $226 million. The upper-level finishing looks good, but the core tube’s conversion efficiency hasn’t scaled accordingly. Load-bearing walls aren’t judged by surface brightness but by how the load transfers from the floor to the foundation; the real clearing flow of USD stablecoins is thickening, which is good, but a thicker flow can also cause congestion, node fatigue, and hidden maintenance costs—traffic should not be mistaken for structural redundancy.
More worth watching is the $182 million in other income from the Arc blockchain token presale, like selling underground commercial space before the project is topped out. The cash inflow can be recorded, but the question must be asked: is this long-term rent or a one-time scaffold? Presales aren’t the foundation, just cash flow guardrails during construction; if presale proceeds are treated as the core tube, any instability in subsequent development capacity, real application occupancy rate, or reserve asset duration will amplify the building’s wind-induced response. Reserve income falling to $658 million indicates changing ground bearing capacity; relying on interest to sustain the structure is being recalculated. I’ll first look at three charts: the integrated pipeline of capital flows, the settlement observation chart of reserve asset duration, and the Arc ecosystem’s construction progress chart; the worst thing on the blueprint isn’t fewer lines but poorly handled post-cast joints—smooth on the surface but with internal shrinkage cracks.
The linkage with the US stock token $xSNDK is more like curtain wall connectors: the appearance is first affected by wind pressure, interest rate expectations, and risk appetite, but the main structure still depends on the clearing density of USD stablecoins, whether Arc’s developer construction team has arrived, and if reserve income can form a second shear wall. Increased trading volume doesn’t mean topping out; it only shows the traffic core is under pressure; whether nodes crack depends on real settlement and sustained income. The white paper is just a design; construction quality is the acceptance certificate. This isn’t a topping-out photo but a construction joint at the structural transition layer: no matter how beautiful the top is, if the bottom relies on one-time presale proceeds, it will creak at the first wind. #circleq3usdcvolumeup49%The Republican loss this time essentially means the U.S. has shifted from "one-party rule" to a "divided deadlock."
Trump is still in the White House, but the Democrats control Congress, making it difficult for his tax cuts, deregulation, and crypto-friendly legislation to proceed smoothly over the next two years.
Why did gold rise so straightforwardly?
After the Democrats swept, the dollar fell, U.S. Treasury yields dropped, and the market worried about investigations, fiscal negotiations, and policy standoffs. Gold benefits from these three factors: a weak dollar, low real interest rates, and political uncertainty. It doesn't need to look at any company earnings and directly stands above $4,000.
Why did $BTC first fall then rise?
The initial drop was because it was sold as a risk asset: a Democratic-controlled Congress means the crypto market structure bill CLARITY will likely be delayed until 2027, regulatory standards will tighten, and Trump-related concept coins took a direct hit.
The subsequent rebound was because it was bought as a macro asset: election uncertainty disappeared, the dollar weakened, and it followed the Nasdaq in a V-shaped recovery.
In short: gold purely benefits from "weak dollar + uncertainty," while $BTC is a tug-of-war between "macro positives" and "regulatory negatives." So gold's trend is smoother, and $BTC is more prone to back-and-forth swings.
Going forward, don't just focus on party slogans; watch three real variables: where the dollar and U.S. Treasury yields are headed, whether Friday's nonfarm payrolls will rewrite Fed expectations, and whether $BTC can truly hold above $82,000. #US Midterm Elections: Democrats Gain Control of Both Houses of Congress
This time the Democrats really swept through. As soon as the election results came out, the market went on a roller coaster ride. Last night, Bitcoin even dropped below 76,000 to hit a seven-week low, shaking out the bulls, but then quickly V-shaped back above 78,000.
But don’t get too happy too soon. The Democrats coming in isn’t necessarily good for the crypto space, especially with that CLARITY Act—there’s probably more back-and-forth to come. This rebound is basically just an oversold bounce combined with uncertainty clearing up, so don’t mistake it for a trend reversal.
Everyone’s focused on the election, but there are actually two other strong developments on the sidelines. One is that the Moscow Exchange will list BTC and ETH in December. After being sanctioned for so long, Russia now has to rely on crypto to find a breakthrough; the other is that the CFTC approved stock perpetual contracts, meaning the wall between traditional finance and crypto is slowly coming down.
Looking at the capital flow, the biggest headache right now is still ETFs. Yesterday, another 116 million fled, marking three consecutive days of outflows, with BlackRock leading the sell-off. But ironically, while ETFs are fleeing wildly, industry capital is quietly bottom-fishing. Tether holds 150,000 BTC, and MicroStrategy scooped up another 800 last week.
Anyway, the market right now is ETFs selling and big players buying, two forces pulling against each other, causing the price to grind sideways. In this kind of battle between giants, don’t try to guess the direction. Sideways consolidation is frustrating, so let’s wait for it to form a clear trend before jumping in.
$BTC $SOL $ETH Evening session summarized in one sentence: leverage is holding strong, spot is retreating. 📉 BTC: Rate 17%, ETF net outflow for three consecutive days BTC current price around $77,660, barely flat in 24 hours but once dropped to $75,690 during the session. While price fell 5.3%, futures open interest surged 12.1% to 694,728 BTC; some perpetual platforms still have annualized funding rates at 17%, longs keep paying shorts. The problem is, active spot buying is absent. Support in the $77,000–$80,000 range is mainly passive limit orders, Bitfinex bluntly says "buying is passive, not active." On the ETF side, BTC spot ETFs have had net outflows for 3 consecutive days, totaling $1.157 billion, with IBIT single-day outflow of $95 million. If the 50-week moving average at $76,800 fails to hold, leveraged longs' costs will become a burden rather than chips. 🤔 SOL: Oversold, but no one is grabbing it SOL around $92.94, RSI(14) 28.95, hugging the lower Bollinger Band, daily 200-day moving average at $88.97 is the last mid-term support. Funding rate 0.0100%/8h, neutral; but Binance long-short ratio 3.15–3.75, long crowding far exceeds funding rate reading. SOL spot ETF just set a record weekly outflow of $71.47 million last week, so far this week18,270 BTC split into lots of 1,000 each: Hacker's peel chain technique
The cleanest operation in the Binance incident was that batch of 18,270 BTC.
On-chain data shows that after the hot wallet funds arrived, the hacker did not immediately mix the coins but ran a classic peel chain:
Each hop peeled off 1,000 BTC into a new address, with the remainder passed to the next hop. Within minutes, it was distributed—17 addresses each with 1,000 BTC, and two others holding 832.5 and 437.7 BTC respectively, totaling 19 wallets, all of which have since remained inactive.
This step was very restrained:
No touching stablecoins (which could be blacklisted by issuers)
No moving into CEX, OTC, or breaking down to dust level
Using "whole thousand slices" to reduce tagging noise and leave room for subsequent layering
BTC has no backend switch; no one can freeze addresses. The 3 billion in stablecoins can be blocked because there are issuers; Bitcoin can only be intercepted at the exchange stage once it "moves."
SlowMist classifies this path as: first peeling slices, then multiple hops, then mixing. This is just the first stage—hide first, then launder.
The real signal is not "the coins haven't moved," but that the hacker has organized the 18,270 BTC into 19 "clean chips" ready to be activated at any time.#AMD Data Center Revenue Nearly Doubled, Both Revenue and Guidance Exceed Expectations I believe AMD's earnings report sends a very important signal: AI computing power investment has not cooled down; instead, it is expanding into larger-scale infrastructure construction. AMD announced its Q3 2026 earnings with strong core data: 1. Revenue reached $13.4 billion, a 45% year-over-year increase, surpassing market expectations. 2. Non-GAAP earnings per share of $2.09, up 74% year-over-year, higher than market expectations. 3. Data center business revenue reached $8.5 billion, a 97% year-over-year increase, nearly doubling. 4. Q4 revenue guidance is about $17 billion, implying approximately 66% year-over-year growth. The real focus is the data center business. AMD's data center revenue now accounts for about 64% of total revenue, indicating the company is gradually shifting from a traditional CPU manufacturer to a core supplier of AI computing infrastructure. The driving forces behind this mainly come from two aspects: First, continuous growth of EPYC server processors, with stable demand driven by cloud computing and data center construction. Second, the Instinct series AI GPUs are beginning to expand deployment; AMD is competing for market share in AI accelerators, gradually entering a market long dominated by NVIDIA. Of course, risks cannot be ignored. AMD's client and gaming business declined 8% year-over-year this quarter, indicating uneven growth across different business segments. Meanwhile, competition in the AI computing power market is intense, and future GPU developments need to be closely watched.I always thought Circle was just the kind of company that issues USDC, collects interest, and lives steadily. But after checking their holdings, I found they have 504,000 HYPE, 4.1 million SUI, 1,728 ETH, and 77 BTC sitting on their books.
$133 million in digital assets, with a portfolio more diversified than many who shout trade calls every day. The most outrageous is the HYPE holding, which is five times more than at the end of last year, valued at $45.88 million.
A stablecoin issuer secretly became a major altcoin holder—who would believe that if told?$SNAP
User growth continues, but why might Snap still struggle to unlock profits?
In this week's earnings window, user scale is only the first variable; it also needs to prove that user engagement can translate into advertising demand and cover content, R&D, and infrastructure costs.
Commercial efficiency is considered improved only if revenue per user improves and expense growth is controlled; if users mainly come from markets with lower monetization, revenue may not keep pace with usage. I will compare ad prices, impressions, and cash burn to judge whether the economic model has improved.Others are fearful, I keep dollar-cost averaging (Day 82) with 100U to continue buying BTC!
This morning $BTC briefly dropped to around 75,600 (7-week low), then quickly rebounded to about 78,200 after the US midterm elections concluded, a roughly 1% increase in 24 hours.
The fear index remains in the fear zone, ETFs continue to see outflows, and market sentiment is still cold.
This is exactly the golden window for dollar-cost averaging
✅ 100U DCA strategy:
• Don’t guess tops or bottoms, don’t chase highs or sell lows
• Buy a fixed 100U daily/weekly
• Buy more coins when prices fall, just hold when prices rise
• Costs naturally get diluted, hold digital gold long term
History has proven countless times:
The ones who truly make money aren’t those who bottom-fish the hardest, but those who keep dollar-cost averaging and survive.
Today’s price is still about 38% below the ATH (126,000), fear remains, this is exactly when ordinary people slowly accumulate.

#AMD数据中心收入近翻倍，营收及指引均超预期 Some believe that $BTC will inevitably drop after the midterm elections, so now is not the right time to trade contracts.
But looking back at 2014, 2018, and 2022, BTC was clearly in a bear market at those times, with prices suppressed by the 200-day moving average, never able to break free from the downtrend.
2026 is completely different:
BTC has already broken through the downtrend line and has climbed back above the yearly moving average, showing a trend clearly different from the past three cycles.
History cannot be simply copied, and the market environment is also changing.
Now that BTC has returned near the yearly moving average, would you still choose to short it? Circle's holdings report doesn't quite match the label "stablecoin company." As of September 30, the fair value of digital assets is about $133 million, with almost no U.S. Treasury bonds, just a basket of coins.
Breaking it down: about 380 million Canton Coins are worth $47.99 million, about 504,000 $HYPE worth $45.88 million, more than five times higher than at the end of last year. Next are 77 $BTC (6.39 million), 4.1 million $SUI (4.77 million), and 1,728 $ETH (4.64 million). The first two items account for 70%.
It doesn't make money from reserve interest either. In Q2, it sold 807.5 million ARC at $0.30 each, raising about $242.2 million, of which $181.8 million was recognized as revenue in Q3.
The price anchor is solid too: IDG Capital's related entity also bought 83.3 million ARC at $0.30 on May 8; Binance's $100 million equity was paid in USDC, and Circle privately issued about 1.237 million Class A common shares. The same price repeatedly appears.
What’s worth pondering is the more than fivefold increase in $HYPE—was it an active position increase, or just the small base position from the end of last year lifted by the market? These two explanations lead to opposite answers about whether "institutions are really buying."$CAP By the way, to the Air Force big sharks, this pump has no real money, it relies entirely on opening short positions at high levels to support the market. Today is an exception; it suddenly pulled up without any preparation or contingency plan, making a downward crash very likely 😌There is an overwhelming amount of content about $PUMP, but this time, some things seem too obvious.
MoarkyMoark predicted that a group would launch a token with a market cap under 100,000 MC, with each person holding about 4%. Then Pumpfun would verify and promote it, pushing the token price up to millions of dollars, allowing the group to dump their tokens and take the lead in trading competition.
On November 3rd, $AMD (a meme dog) was shut down by Pumpfun, just as Moarky predicted.
He believes Pumpfun uses incentives to give paid KOLs an advantage.
Given this incident, perhaps the community should consider supporting other game launch platforms like Raydium and Meteora instead of letting Pumpfun monopolize the platform.
In games where the house always has the advantage, how can traders win? If this continues, retail players will eventually only serve as liquidity providers for insiders.$FET at $0.16 might be the most interesting AI bet nobody wants to make right now.
2021: $1.
2024: $3.50.
2027: $7.50?
Three cycles. Three potentially higher peaks.
That's a wild 46x bull-case scenario from here.
Am I expecting a straight line up? Absolutely not.
But if AI becomes the dominant crypto narrative again
I wouldn't be surprised to see $FET make a comeback nobody saw coming.
The market loves AI. Just not when its tokens are on sale. $FET

Let's go on $XRP
#USJobsReportInFocus Looking back from January to September 2023, BTC price encountered resistance at one standard deviation above the short-term holder cost line, followed by varying degrees of pullbacks. Among the three retracements, the first perfectly tested the STH-RP, the second slightly broke below this line, and the third fell between the STH-RP and one standard deviation below.
Murphy stated that the current STH-RP is around $75,700, and one standard deviation below is about $68,900. Based solely on the above pattern, there is a certain probability for three scenarios: a pullback to $75,700, a pullback to $72,300, or falling somewhere in between. Murphy emphasized not seeking to predict the market but only making trading plans. Combined with previous judgments on the "seller exhaustion index," BTC's pullback to about $77,000 has formed the second-lowest point of this cycle, only higher than the signal point in August this year. The analysis is for reference only and is not direct investment advice. #交易之声：你的经验值得被听到 $BTC #索尼财报前瞻：游戏与音乐业务表现如何？ The gaming segment is currently the profit pillar, with the PS5 installed base firmly established. PlayStation Plus subscriptions and live service games contribute stable cash flow. Long-term retention for "Deathloop 2" and "Marathon" is performing well, and hardware profitability continues to improve. The pressure lies in the gap between first-party blockbusters and declining third-party game sales. Bungie's previous asset impairment also makes the market cautious about returns from studio acquisitions; short-term revenue may be flat, but profit margin is the highlight, with a focus on subscription growth, MAU, and new release schedules.
The music business is Sony's most certain asset, with streaming continuing steady growth, combined with offline concerts and merchandise scaling up. Music catalog acquisitions and independent artist distribution services broaden revenue sources. However, market expectations are for slight revenue growth but profit decline in the music segment this fiscal year, mainly due to increased costs from copyrights, artist royalties, and acquisition amortization; meanwhile, AI cover songs and copyright disputes are long-term risks.
From a market perspective, gaming is cyclical and relies on hit titles for catalysts; music has defensive attributes and is more favored for funding in a high-interest-rate environment. If gaming profit margins exceed expectations and music streaming growth remains high, it will drive valuation recovery; conversely, if new releases underperform and music gross margins decline, the stock price is likely to face pressure. $BTC $ETH $ZEC This wave of the market really doesn't intend to let the bears feel comfortable! In the afternoon, I was still doubting that this wave was a bull trap, but by evening, Bitcoin $BTC touched around 78,400 again, and Ethereum $ETH was even stronger, directly surging to 2,338, breaking through the previous resistance at 2,318! However, I'm still not in a hurry to call a reversal! Although Bitcoin rebounded fiercely, the resistance at 79,000 hasn't been truly overcome yet. Ethereum broke through first, but whether it can hold above after the breakout is the real test! As the US midterm election results gradually become clear, the US dollar and Treasury yields have fallen back, and risk sentiment has somewhat recovered. But tonight, ADP added 86,000 jobs, which is actually higher than expected! This indicates that this rise is not simply driven by weakening employment. For now, I remain cautiously bearish on the big picture. In my view, until Bitcoin holds above 82,000, this should be seen as a rebound. If Ethereum breaks through 2,338 but then falls back below 2,318, I will still be wary of a pullback after the rally. $AMD data center revenue nearly doubled, with both revenue and guidance exceeding expectations, and the AI computing power battle officially accelerating for AMD!
AMD delivered its strongest quarterly performance in history for Q3: total revenue of $13.377 billion, up 45% year-over-year, significantly beating expectations.
The core driver is the data center segment: revenue of $8.546 billion, soaring 97% year-over-year, nearly doubling, with revenue share directly hitting 64%.
Growth comes from two main lines: EPYC server CPUs continuously gaining cloud vendor market share, combined with strong sales of the MI450 series AI accelerators, and the explosive demand for Agent intelligent computing power, becoming a new source of growth.
Even more surprising is the Q4 guidance: expected revenue around $17 billion, a sequential increase of 27%, with the data center segment's quarterly sequential growth expected to approach 50%; management stated that Q4 will mark a key turning point—AI accelerator revenue will surpass server CPU revenue, and compute GPUs will officially take over as the main growth driver. The long-term target is even more aggressive, predicting that by 2027 the data center segment could exceed 80% of total revenue.
However, the other side must be acknowledged: the bright AI computing market masks weakness in the consumer segment. Client and gaming business declined 8% year-over-year; PC and gaming remain drag factors. Company growth is now highly tied to the AI capital expenditure cycle. Meanwhile, behind the strong demand lies supply chain pressure—HBM, advanced packaging, and wafer capacity remain bottlenecks, inventory is rising, and if cloud vendors cut capital spending, elasticity will quickly decline.
#AMD数据中心收入近翻倍，营收及指引均超预期 #AMD data center revenue nearly doubled, revenue and guidance both exceeded expectations
Tonight's small nonfarm payrolls are interesting
New jobs added: 86,000
17,000 more than expected
But it's the same as the revised data from last month
Is the job market really that strong
Or was everyone too pessimistic before?
September originally reported 90,000 new jobs
Now revised down to 86,000
That means
Although October exceeded market expectations
Job growth did not continue to accelerate
This is different from what many people understand
On the surface, employment exceeded expectations
In reality, it’s just not as bad as the market feared
But for the bulls on the big coin
This may not necessarily be good news
After all, everyone has been hoping for a rate cut in December
The more resilient the employment data
The less urgent the Fed has to ease policy
Previously, the market worried about economic weakness
Thinking a rate cut might come soon
Now with employment better than expected
The rate cut issue has to be reconsidered
However, 86,000 new jobs
Can’t be considered a sudden takeoff in the job market
Relying on just one small nonfarm report
To conclude no rate cut in December
Is obviously too early
$BTC $ETH #美国中期选举：民主党赢得国会两院控制权 This time it is a "White House vs. Congress standoff," with the market's main theme shifting from "expectations of large-scale fiscal expansion" to "policy deadlock, making new stimulus difficult to implement." However, the Federal Reserve, U.S. inflation, and corporate earnings remain the core determinants of the trend. The election mainly changes the pace, sector premiums, and short-term volatility, but it is unlikely to reverse the overall trend.
Favorable for gold
The weakening dollar + limited rise in long-term U.S. Treasury yields make real interest rates more likely to fall, which is positive for gold prices; at the same time, political risks such as the debt ceiling and government shutdown will also temporarily boost gold's safe-haven demand. $XAG The recent surge in the crypto market is primarily driven by short squeeze, not a broad rebound fueled by spot buying, as liquidation data reveals. Bitcoin ($BTC) shows the most prominent short liquidation pressure, with $33.74 million in shorts liquidated within 24 hours, compared to only $6.7 million in long liquidations. This rapid consecutive liquidation creates a self-reinforcing stop-loss cascade rather than a smooth price revaluation. Ethereum ($ETH) follows a similar pattern to Bitcoin but with even larger liquidation volumes; 24-hour short liquidations reached $34.87 million, while long losses are merely a side effect. The main trend remains shorts being passively closed. CORE ($CORE) exhibits a different two-way cleansing pattern: the price is first squeezed up, then reverses, with long positions concentratedly liquidated—all long liquidations occur within one hour, showing a vacuum state where buying pressure quickly vanishes after the squeeze. A key point here: when $BTC and $ETH liquidation lists are dominated by shorts, the market reflects the position structure rather than a bullish consensus. Once the buying pressure from passive liquidations is exhausted, the marginal support for the rally disappears. It is still unclear whether this squeeze has fully cleared the crowded shorts or merely readjusted positions. If subsequent liquidation data shifts to being dominated by longs, the momentum of this rebound is likely exhausted. $BTC $ETH $CORE#CircleQ3营收超预期，USDC链上交易量增长49% However, the issuance volume of usdc is declining$BTC just saw its trading volume more than double during that recent drop. I was a bit surprised to see that bearish candle close so quickly. Earlier, the price steadily climbed above 78,000, but the trading volume kept shrinking. This is a classic case of volume increasing on the drop but decreasing on the rise, indicating a lack of buying support.
Then, during the subsequent pullback candles, the trading volume quickly shrank again. The volume during the rebound was only about 40% of the previous twenty candles. The price pulled up slightly, but no one was willing to take orders above. The volume shrank during the rise, showing the bulls' momentum is weakening.
Switching to the 4-hour timeframe to check the position. The current price just hit the previous high near 78,000. This is a major resistance on a larger scale. The three 4-hour EMA lines are still in a bearish alignment. The overall market focus is sinking, and the downtrend continues.
Short-term, I lean bearish. The top is pressing against strong 4-hour resistance. A volume-shrinking rise can’t break through such strong resistance; without volume expansion, it won’t push through. I expect the market to first turn down for a wave.
$ETH $SOL #美伊谈判未突破，油价为何单日跌逾7%？ $ETH has fallen more than $BTC, but that doesn't mean it's worse
At 4 AM close, both $BTC and $ETH were below the midnight opening price.
Some see $ETH's larger drop and assume it's going to have problems.
Here's how the number is calculated: $ETH's last hour closing difference accounts for nearly half of the four-hour net decline.
In other words, the sharp drop was caused by that last push.
$BTC's last push only recovered 23.1 USDT, not even half of the previous hour's decline.
Both are moving downward, just one stopped first while the other is still moving.
Only if $ETH's next candle closes above 2293.20 can it be said to have recovered the last hour.
#BTC现货ETF资金流出，企业财库增持放缓
#$ETH $BTC A divided Washington is turning out to be bullish for crypto. As vote counting in the US midterms puts control of Congress in play, with Democrats projected to take the House, $BTC and $ETH have both pushed higher — a move that looks counterintuitive only until you separate politics from liquidity. The first driver is fiscal. Divided government makes large-scale spending expansion harder to pass. For a market that has spent months pricing inflation risk and the interest-rate path, that gridlock $CRCL earnings report exploded, but the funds haven't come back at all!
Pre-market surged 3%, many people directly called it a turning point for the crypto sector.
Only after breaking down Circle's Q3 earnings report do you understand: this beat expectations is a "one-time cash injection" piled up.
Revenue 865 million, expected 777 million; EPS 0.84, far exceeding the expected range; net profit 226 million, a direct doubling beat.
Behind the impressive data lies the core catch:
Of the 207 million in other income, 182 million comes from Arc token presale, which is a one-time gain and not replicable.
The real main business—USDC reserve interest income—declined 8% year-on-year, only 658 million.
In short: making the earnings report look good by selling tokens, while the core interest spread business that sustains them is weakening.
The market had already priced in pessimistic expectations early: CRCL halved from the high of 140.
Combined with the recent large-scale Binance theft incident, what the market lacks now is not stories, but trust premium.
The beat on earnings is just on paper; whether funds recognize it is another matter.
Arc presale is a one-off deal; reserve yield is Circle's fundamental trump card.
Without the trump card warming up, relying solely on EPS benefits is unlikely to drive large-scale crypto fund inflows.
Key observation: whether it can hold above 75 at open. Holding above 75 means a chance for recovery; failing to hold means this earnings boost is just a short-term bull trap.
#CircleQ3营收超预期，USDC链上交易量增长49% Midterm Election Night: Three Outcomes, Three Crypto Scenarios
First, the odds: Pre-election House Republicans 218:214, Senate 53:47; Cook predicts Democrats net gain of 9-19 House seats , and the president's party has lost seats in 36 of 38 midterms . The baseline scenario is already clear.
Scenario One: Democrats Take the House (High Probability)
House Financial Services Committee changes leadership—Maxine Waters at the helm, and if the Senate Banking Committee flips, Elizabeth Warren takes over .
Bankless hit the key point: The crypto industry fears not who opposes it, but who controls the agenda—the committee can kill bills without a vote .
Market projection: CLARITY Act (market structure bill) progress stalls , expectations for compliant institutional entry cool down. Short-term sentiment is bearish, but this is a "priced-in negative"—most already priced before the election, actual passage might clear the way for a rebound.
Scenario Two: Democrats Sweep Both Chambers (Low Probability, Biggest Impact)
The path to regulatory clarity is completely uprooted, stablecoin and market structure legislation fully blocked . This outcome resembles the 2022 scenario—the political shift will reprice the entire industry valuation. Tether's government affairs head has long warned: whether Washington's current friendly stance lasts depends on the midterms .
Scenario Three: Republicans Hold Both Chambers (Low Probability, Most Favorable Scenario)
The probability of CLARITY Act passing in 2027 greatly increases , combined with current White House SEC/CFTC personnel, the compliant capital channel fully opens. This is the only outcome that can sustain the "institutional bull" narrative.
📌 My judgment in three points:
① Short term (1-2 weeks), the election is a supporting actor. The drop to 77k was mainly due to Fed rate hikes + Brent oil at 110 . The election result only determines the slope of the rebound, not the direction—the direction is in the Fed's hands.
② Medium term (until 2027), the election is the main actor. The crypto space has benefited from "regulatory clarity" these past two years: GENIUS Act, CLARITY progress, ETF channels. Once legislation stalls, institutional capital's narrative material disappears—then declines won't need macro factors to assist.
③ Don't chase the volatility of election night. Multiple House seats are within 1%, mail-in ballots take days, so tonight there will be no "definitive result," only "definitive noise." Historically, year-end rebounds after midterms are statistical patterns, but only if macro doesn't drag—currently macro is dragging.
Final numbers: The crypto industry spent $189 million on this election , even Musk spent $366 million supporting Republicans .
The money is all in. Next is the draw time—but remember, the draw decides the 2027 story; tonight's candlesticks are still controlled by the Fed.
Which scenario do you think will come true?
